Frank Lloyd Wrights Architecture
According to Steffensen (2570), Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959) is considered to be one of the most popular architects across the globe. His renowned private home "Fallingwater" is designed in a manner that hangs above from a cliff that harbors the Eponymous waterfall located at Pittsburgh. The piece was no doubt a sophisticated form of home. It was characterized by cream-colored cantilevered horizontals which were arranged in position allowing rhythmical one layer on top of another which was anchored by the dark vertically-placed masonry while the interstice was inter-twined to depict a diaphanous-like glass canal.
His influential contribution has been attributed to his manner of portraying revolutionary ideas, peculiar Herculean output, and the immense level of talent. It should also be noted that Frank Lloyd had embraced contemporary media-based gadgets in the line of his works so that unique and distinctive designs were associated with his architects (Satler 15-21).

His contributions in the piece have been embraced positively with numerous professionals within the industry, especially Bauhaus. Specifically, Frank Lloyd used different features in order to manipulate his images through a fundamental level of outputs in the form of print, photographs, radio sets, as well as television mediums for such programs.
It is noted that in addition to his ability to harness the initially available resources, Frank Lloyd also deployed other devices that had been used by other older architects. Some of the aforementioned devices used were considered to be older in terms of the Renaissance while others were his own formulations in the course of the 20th century.
Frank Lloyd's works are depicted as having attained success through methodologies involved with the evaluative paradigm given the fact that it distinguishes the uniqueness attributed to Eastern and Western architectural as well as other forms of interactional philosophies. In respect to Wright's works, it is determined that there is a demonstration concerned with the correlation of distinctive philosophies that are referred to as the organic forms of architecture.
The evaluative paradigm capability of Wright's works is considered to be distinctive tools which can be used for the purpose of constructing as well as assisting issues of both social and economic aspects in the United States economy as a whole. It should be noted that in the course of building these forms of influential sites there is a perceived need to differentiate between the behaviors which happen within their respective contexts.
The aforesaid evaluative approach is considered to be a necessary facet which exposes architectures of attributed with lesser cultural interactions into platforms of the immense level of status. The design which has been formulated by the architecture found in the landscape is transformed from elements of contestation into an absorptive state.
Notably, these architectural designs open ways through which globalization helps to define the relationships created between different philosophies of space, people as well as their immediate forms of the interface within the built structures. In addition to this, the evaluative paradigm approach has been used to distinguish additional forms of cultures that are considered to be useful to the continual-presence of dominant structures.
Wright considered his works to be oriental. His organic-based architecture forms were depicted to have also been replicated in the East, especially Japan. However, Wright does not confess that he sourced much inspiration from these forms rather he indicates that the existence of such built form in Japan was confirmation to most of his organic structures. It should be noted that Oriental architecture is one that conducts his works in an instinctive manner.
In the course of nurturing and thus subduing most of his works, Wright confesses to having discovered a newer form of space through which the body was inscribed in it. Particularly, this was understood when he constructed both the Larkin Building in 1904 near Buffalo, as well as Unity Temple in 1906 at Oak Park.
Frank Lloyd's works were considered to be unique and distinctive in that they were different from the Eastern since he possessed the capability as well as the talent to utilize the fundamental principles of the philosophies of the Japanese cultures. Furthermore, he had the capacity to apply the aforementioned values, perceptions, resource materials as well as methodologies to the numerous existing needs of his time – 20th century America. Historically, Frank Lloyd is considered to be a fairer connection between the traditional forms of Arts and Crafts to the brighter contemporary architecture.
It is retorted that most of his works went away from the western forms of culture into the eastern understanding of space hence the conception attributed with space was considered to be useful in respect to the notion of contestation. The notion attributed to Wright's organic architecture is considered to be a window of opportunity which helped bring forth the usefulness of extracting ideas between two distant cultures and later using them in the aforementioned contestation processes.
The numerous forms that were built by Frank Lloyd are considered to be one of the most peculiar structures across the globe. For instance, the Guggenheim Museum which is located in the upper East of Manhattan; New York was designed by him. It provides an immense source of inspiration to the impressionists as well as contemporary architecture personnel. The building was established in 1939 and assumes a cylindrical shape. The top-most section of the building is wider and vast as compared to the bottom section. The distinctive and unique gallery located within the building is perceived to be extending from below the sky-light in rather extensive and continual forms of spirals along with the external framework of the entire building till it connects to the ground level (Satler 20-24).
Through his extensive search and development of organic architecture, Wright put much emphasis on the need for establishing a contemporary form of architects which were inspired by both the old western traditions as well as the eastern notion of space. In the course of establishing his structures, Wright embraced certain logical architects in ancient Greece. For instance, in the Platonic view, he affirms the concept about space and air depicting them as a real element of the earth. The perception is highly inclined towards the centralization as well as the agglomeration of space and thus explained the rationale behind methodology involved with carving and customizing space in that matter (Levine 19-27).
Remarkably, the concept involved with classical forms of architecture perceives different links that define the numerous versions of space. For instance, the perception allows for space being defined at the focal points where they finally converge. Moving forward, whenever it is realized that there is a possible convergence of space, Wright asserts that the source of power should be searched for within the different corners. Therefore, with the real sources of power being reflected from the corners it is safe to assume that the definite center which also happens to be a source of both strength and definition is located at exactly the same location, which is, the walls which protect matter from exposure from both inside and outside the structure.
The "William Winslow" residence which was established on the period between the year1893 and 1894 is Wright's typical example of a standard built form inspired by the Prairies School. The residence depicts a self-contained free-standing conventional structure. It rests on an extended stone water table which Wright as the architecture compared to the old Greek temple (Pfeiffer 45-56).

It is believed that the residence drew its inspiration from the Central Hall Plan pioneered in the Japanese Ho-o-den whereby the structure of one of the rooms is created with vast space in order to serve different house-functionalities. Moreover, the resultant distinction of the residence is depicted by the interior fireplace spotlight whereby it provides the notion of spatial interior pivoting (Nute 8).
In respect to the International Style, the architecture was perceived as having a greater significance to the crucial manners pertaining to space as reflected in western architectural forms. The Robie House which was established in the year 1908 is one such example of Wright's works that incorporated the numerous processes involved with abstraction given the fact that the evaluative approach was derived from the Winslow Residence (Hoffmann 23-28).
With the single room, the space of the entire floor is depicted as having covered all of the main components of the floor of the residence. The classical portrayal of the house is simplified into a series of intersections, overlapping as well as depicting autonomic-like planes. The fireplace which is placed centrally depicts the numerous forms of the key attention which surrounds it wholly. It should be noted that in his sense of advocating immense levels of privacy, Wright provided for an extensive openness whose core purpose was to partition as well as articulate the frameworks of the enclosed space. It is also noted that Wright had earlier visited the Hiashi Hongan-Ji in Nagoya and the Robie House is an extensive replicate of such an extended double eave (Gutheim 36).
The "Johnson Administration Building" was established in 1936 and depicts Wright's initial step into large-scale commission. In this project, Wright perceived the need to establish a working environment that was characterized by safety measures. The structure was solely based on the third dimension which was a reflection of the Nikko buildings. In this building, Wright managed to streamline the building through the evident use of the immense circular points which were already developed with the master-plan. Wright took-off the upper angle through the cornice at the immediate ceiling as well as the wall which were curved and opened at the top-most section as an entire rift. A horizontal tube was later placed at the right position between the walls and the ceiling thus allowing immense light to reach the section of the building where it had never reached (Gutheim 34-37).
To sum up, it is true to assume that through his perception towards organic architecture, Wright recognized the need to establish the different design methodologies which were to be used for creating an impetus used for maintaining the different degrees of life as well as its inhabitants. In his works, he had perceived the need for making the process of living simpler through the use of space escapement.

Q: Restart Ruby without restarting the server I need to reload some files for ruby on my server, how do i restart ruby as it isnt a daemon?

A: If something isn't running continually, then when it next starts it will read the new files.  My crystal ball suggests you're actually referring to a Passenger instance; that is a daemon, but it's one that is "slaved" to Apache.  If you restart Apache, that should do the trick, however Rails (and Passenger) is supposed to have some sort of auto-reloading shenanigan going on, but I guess that isn't working (or you're missing something).

A: Restart Rails application under Passenger:

Q: Seeking ArcGIS Pro tool to get min and max latitude and longitude coordinates? I am very new to ArcGIS Pro and have been struggling with getting the minimum and maximum latitude/longitude of an area in ArcGIS Pro. I am looking to get four coordinates of a rectangle that encompasses each polygon I have in a shapefile.
I have tried calculating extents of the minimal bounding geometry rectangles and vertices to points, so I thought I would reach out here. This is a description of what I have done so far.
I have about 2800 polygons in a shape file that represent conservation areas across the US. I used the minimal bounding geometry method of arcpy (script below) to get rectangles that encompass each polygon:
arcpy.MinimumBoundingGeometry_management('US_IBAs_2018Feb',"G:\IBA_Update\GIS\Bounding\Output", "RECTANGLE_BY_AREA", None)

I then tried to calculate the extent geometry attributes of each rectangle. This seemed to work, but I could not figure out why the x/y min/max weren't being displayed in decimal degrees instead of meters (see photo).

arcpy.AddGeometryAttributes_management('Output', 'EXTENT')

I tried making sure the map and the map and what is being returned from the extent were both in WGS84 or Web Mercator Aux Sphere, but had the same problem each time.
So from here I decided to just try and use the vertices to point tool. This gave me four coordinate points of each rectangle which is exactly what I need! However, all of the points have the same coordinate.

How can I correct this issue?

A: Import your shp to gdb.
Code below will print each polygon extent:
import arcpy
arcpy.env.overwriteOutput = True
arcpy.env.workspace = r"GDB"
fc = 'feature_class'

count = int(arcpy.GetCount_management(fc)[0]) +1

for fid in range(1, count):
        arcpy.MakeFeatureLayer_management(fc, 'temp','"OBJECTID" = {}'.format(fid)))
        arcpy.CopyFeatures_management('temp', r'in_memory\temp_{}'.format(fid))
        arcpy.RecalculateFeatureClassExtent_management(r'in_memory\temp_{}'.format(fid))
        arcpy.PolygonToRaster_conversion(r'in_memory\temp_{}'.format(fid), 'OBJECTID', r"in_memory\raster_{}".format(fid))
        elevRaster = arcpy.sa.Raster(r"in_memory\raster_{}".format(fid))
        myExtent = elevRaster.extent

        print(f'OBECJTID: {fid} XMin: {myExtent.XMin}, YMin: {myExtent.YMin} XMax: {myExtent.XMax} Ymax: {myExtent.YMax}')

France needs 'massive' renewables growth, nuclear not only energy solution, says PM
PARIS, May 18 (Reuters) - France needs "massive and rapid" growth in renewable energy capacity and nuclear power is not the country's only energy solution, new Prime Minister Edouard Philippe said on Thursday.
Philippe, who was appointed by newly inaugurated President Emmanuel Macron, used to work as head of public affairs for state nuclear energy group Areva, parts of which are set to be absorbed by EDF, the state power utility which operates the nation's ageing nuclear power station fleet.
On Wednesday, Macron appointed environmentalist Nicolas Hulot as his environment minister with responsibility for energy matters - a move that hit EDF's share price.
Nuclear power accounts for about three-quarters of French power generation at present.
France needs "to reach the objectives set out by the President," Philippe said on France Inter radio. "That means an approach founded on the secure base of nuclear and a rapid, massive and visible development of renewables," he added.
Philippe also said the government would take a "pragmatic" approach regarding France's future energy and power supplies. (Reporting by Andrew Callus and Jean-Baptiste Vey; Editing by Sudip Kar-Gupta)

Q: Not able to remove last blank line with python or batch script My excel file contains:
ABC
DEF
GHI

My requirement is to concatenate all the above rows into single string like below:
ABC or DEF or GHI

Below is the code which printed the excel rows into a text file.
wb = xlrd.open_workbook("abc.xlsx")
sheet = wb.sheet_by_index(0)
sheet.cell_value(0, 0)
with open("data.txt", "w") as dataFile:
for i in range(sheet.nrows):
    dataSet = sheet.cell_value(i, 0)
    print(dataSet, file=dataFile)

But the data.txt file is printed as:
ABC
DEF
GHI
<---- this is a blank line ---->

So when i am using below code to concatenate the lines:
with open("data.txt", "r") as data:
for each_line in data:
    try:
        objList = each_line.replace("\n", " or ")
        print(objList, end='')

    except ValueError:
        pass

This is resulting the below output:
ABC or DEF or GHI or  --------->This is wrong

The required output is :
ABC or DEF or GHI  -------------> this is correct

Please suggest where i am missing? Thanks for the help.

A: What is exactly the problem here?
Try the following:
# Let's assume you have a list named contents with whatever you need to store.
contents[-1].rstrip('\n') # Removing the trailing new line symbol for the last member

with open('cmdOut', 'w', encoding='utf-8') as output:
    for line in contents:
        output.write(line)

A: I have taken the sample content from your example, where blank.txt is the file which has last line as blank. Whereas, output.txt file is the file which is new file resulted after removing the last blank line.
1) File with blank line
$ cat blank.txt

Cape Hillsborough, The Mackay Region
Mackay Visitor's Guide
Sitting in the middle of the Queensland coast, the Mackay region stretches from secluded islands off the coast through golden sand beaches and into lush sub-tropical rainforests. The historic town of Mackay is filled with 1920s Art Deco buildings and public artworks, as well as a vibrant dining precinct. See wallabies on the beach at Cape Hillsborough National Park, dive with shy platypus in Eungella National Park or throw a line in at some of the state's best fishing spots.
Things to do in Mackay
Immerse yourself in nature and fall in love with the laid-back lifestyle of the Mackay region.
Throw a line in
Ocean, lake or river, there's a great fishing spot for you in Mackay. The region sits at the meeting point for southern and northern species, so you can catch an incredible variety of fish.
Meet local wildlife
Verdant rainforest, rugged hinterland and clear rock pools provide unique habitats for some of Australia's most iconic and elusive wildlife.
Even the wallabies love the beaches around Mackay. In the Cape Hillsborough National Park, wallabies and kangaroos congregate in good numbers to fossick through the sand at sunrise.
About an hour inland from Mackay, Finch Hatton Gorge in Eungella National Park is a fairytale land of tumbling waterfalls, tranquil rock pools and lush foliage. Look out for platypus, the rare gastric-brooding frog and the orange-sided skink.
Did you know you can scuba dive in the rainforest? At Oliver's Pool near Finch Hatton Gorge, dive and see if you can come face to face with a platypus.
Just offshore from Mackay there's a series of secluded tropical islands that are waiting to be explored.
Keswick, 32km off the coast of Mackay, is one of the southernmost Whitsunday islands. Almost the whole island is national park, fringed by sandy beaches, coral gardens and three shipwrecks. There are self-contained accommodation options, too.
Swim on your own isolated beach on Brampton Island. A barefoot paradise surrounded by lush coastal mangroves, it's the perfect romantic day trip. Pack a picnic.

Q: How to use properties that are not in the base class Base Class
public class Base
    {
        public int Price { get; set; }
        public string Name { get; set; }

        public int Tax()
        {
            return Price / 2;
        }
    }

Derived Class
public class Car : Base
{
    public int Power { get; set; }
    public string Brand { get; set; }

    public Car(string brand, int power, int price, string name)
    {
        Brand = brand;
        Power = power ;
        Price = price;
        Name = name;
    }

Cart Class
 public class Cart
    {
        private List<Base> list = new List<Base>();
        public int TotalPrice()
        {
            int sumPrice = 0;
            foreach (Base item in list)
            {
                sumPrice += item.Tax();
            }
            return sumPrice;
        }
        public void Add(Base baseClass)
        {
            list.Add(baseClass);
        }

Controller
     Cart cart = new Cart();
     Car car = new Car("BMW", 10, 100, "John");
     cart.Add(car);
     return View("Index", cart.TotalPrice().ToString());

I create objects from a derived class and add it to the cart.
Car car = new Car("BMW", 10, 100, "John");
But I use base class when I list cars in Cart class.
private List < Base > list = new List< Base >();
I don't get any errors, but what I want to know is that even though there are no "Brand" and "Power" properties in the base class, I can still add them to the base class and list them.
public void Add(Base base)
{
list.Add(base);
}

A: From inheritance, a Car is-a Base, so it can be added to list (a List<Base>).
can still add them to the base class...
Brand and Power are properties of Car, not Base.
and list them...
Brand and Power are not referenced anywhere after the construction of a Car.  See what happens if you try:
    public int TotalPrice()
    {
        int sumPrice = 0;
        foreach (Base item in list)
        {
            sumPrice += item.Tax();
            item.Power = 42; // <--- try to add this line
        }
        return sumPrice;
    }

You could say reading saved my life. I lived on a busy street without the luxury of other playmates my age. School came easily for me and so making friends was not. The characters in the books I read—Owl from Arnold Lobel's Owl at Home, Roald Dahl's The Enormous Crocodile, and Beverly Cleary's Ramona became my companions and their stories became ways I could experience the world outside my own understanding.
This proved helpful when I became a public librarian in the youth department. Helping children and teens find the right books when they need it can be a lifesaver to them, and no one knows that better than me. My favorite part of the job was seeing that shy, awkward teen start to thrive in the library environment where different views and interests are welcome. Second only to that, was seeing that light in their eyes when you direct them to a book they are excited about.

2nd century BC Hindu Sanskrit inscription Nanaghat cave. J. Burgess (1883, d. 1892).

Words From India
As most skeptics will be aware, India – both the modern nation, otherwise called 'Bharat', and the wider South Asian cultural world which also embraces Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka – is full of 'fringe' ideas, practices and entities: astrology, 'god-men', ayurveda, Vedantic ideas generally, reincarnation and much more. Much of the fringiness, especially where the history of India is concerned, involves linguistics, notably ideas concerning Sanskrit. Sanskrit is the ancient classical Indo-European language of Northern India, related to Greek, Latin, Old Persian, etc., and less obviously to modern languages such as English. It is the ancestor of Hindi, Urdu and related languages (the 'Indic' subfamily of Indo-European) and (crucially) it is the vehicle of sacred Hindu/Vedantic texts such as the Vedas. These texts are regarded as having been composed around 3200 BP (1200 BCE), though the earliest extant versions date from almost a millennium later.
Closely linked with issues surrounding Sanskrit is the matter of the interpretation of the Indus Valley Script (IVS), found on tablets in the ruins of Mohenjodaro and Harappa and dated around 4500-4000 BP. This script is the subject of a vast scholarly literature but has no accepted decipherment/interpretation. The unidentified language represented could be Indo-European (probably early Sanskrit/pre-Sanskrit), Dravidian (the main language family of Southern India – the best known language in this family is Tamil), or something else again. (There are other language families in India, and there are still other families which could conceivably have been present; it could also be an unknown language).
This is where I come in, wearing my skeptical historical linguist hat – on top of another hat of longer standing, identifying me as an Indo-European philologist.
I start with non-standard claims about Sanskrit. We must first look at the wider Vedantic background to these ideas. Like some members of the Judaeo-Christian tradition, some Hindu believers adopt non-standard views on language which relate closely to their fundamentalist religious views. These latter involve 'Vedantic creationism', including the belief that modern humans have existed for hundreds of millions of years (almost the reverse of the best-known brand of Judaeo-Christian creationism with its very short chronology). The most familiar manifestation of Vedantic creationism is the work of Michael Cremo and Richard Thompson, which deals with archaeology and palaeoanthropology. Books in this tradition that deal with more recent history uphold the traditional Hindu belief that India was the centre of the oldest civilisation of Asia or the Earth, with culture diffusing from there in early historic times. These notions have a nationalistic and religious appeal for some Indians.
Sanskrit predictably looms large here, especially for Indic-speaking Hindus. The orthodox position is that the language, in an early form, was brought into India around 3500 BP (i.e. after the date of IVS; perhaps concurrently with the collapse of the Indus Valley civilisation, or even associated with it) as part of the European/West-Asiatic diffusion of the Indo-European language family from a base somewhere near the Black and the Caspian Seas (the start of which is dated around 5-6000 BP). There is a serious case for the contrary view that the language was in India rather earlier and is perhaps actually represented by IVS – see e.g. Edwin Bryant's work – though most of the linguistic evidence supports the standard view. A generally accepted decipherment of IVS – as representing Dravidian, Indo-European, or another language family again – would obviously be a very important factor in the resolution of this issue.
However, there is also a more extreme Indian tradition – e.g. the work of K. D. Sethna – upholding the truth of legends interpreted as placing Sanskrit in India much earlier (7-8000 BP, sometimes still earlier). Indeed, Sanskrit is said to be much closer to Proto-Indo-European (the unattested but reconstructed ancestor of the Indo-European family) than is thought by modern historical linguists, and in fact the usual 'fringe' Indian claim is that Indo-European actually originated in India and spread westwards. This extreme view is almost certainly wrong: it is clear that Sanskrit had undergone major changes of its own vis-à-vis Proto-Indo-European, and was especially close to it only in some respects.
One recent manifestation of this belief system is Stephen Knapp's 2000 book Proof Of Vedic Culture's Global Existence, which is considerably less scholarly than Sethna's and is also much more accessible outside India. Knapp himself is a convert to Hinduism and a fervent promoter of all these ideas. He argues that Vedic ideas, together with the Sanskrit language, were once spread all over the Earth by a technologically advanced Hindu civilisation which provided the impetus for civilisations from China to Peru. Proto-Indo-European – as distinct from Sanskrit – never existed. Indeed, Sanskrit is the ancestor not only of Indo-European but of all languages, i.e. it is (or is close to) the Ursprache/Proto-World (if indeed there was one Proto-World: most linguists think that we cannot be sure even of that)!
At a detailed level, Knapp and his sources make extensive use of language data by way of support for their historical claims. However, most of Knapp's linguistic claims are simply wrong in the usual amateur way; they are based on superficial, unsystematic similarities between words with similar meanings, a method which, as we have long known, is unreliable. And many of them fly in the face of known etymologies. One example involves the name Australia, which is a known modern coining transparently based on Latin, where it would mean 'southern' (land, etc). Knapp states that it is from Sanskrit Astralaya, meaning 'land of missiles'; he suggests that the pilots of vimanas (flying vehicles reported as used by Hindu gods, here interpreted as actual aircraft) practised firing missiles in Australia, creating the deserts!
Knapp is not the most extreme manifestation of this 'fringe' tradition; that 'distinction' belongs to Gene Matlock. Matlock's work is about the alleged diffusion of Hindu culture, the 'true' basis of Hinduism, and many features of the Sanskrit language to groups such as the Biblical Israelites, early Europeans, including the inhabitants of the British Isles, and Amerindians (especially those in the South-West of the modern USA and in Mexico). His procedures are similar to Knapp's but 'further out'. He knows virtually no linguistics and shows himself to be a believer in various non-linguistic 'fringe' ideas.
Knapp and Matlock draw much inspiration and many examples from P. N. Oak, a now elderly writer living in Pune, India. Oak attacks the accepted etymologies for hundreds of English and other non-Indian words, place-names etc, and proposes new Sanskrit etymologies – most of them ludicrous both linguistically and historically. Like Knapp and Matlock, he gives no evidence for most of his etymologies, but merely invites readers to agree that they are obviously correct. Oak simply does not know enough about the subject or about the history of any language other than Sanskrit. Even for Sanskrit, he uncritically adopts Vedic ideas about its vast antiquity: he thinks it was used in happy Hindu communities worldwide for 2000 million years (sic) until wicked Christians, scientists and such subverted all this and re-wrote history!
Other religious and quasi-religious groups with links with Hinduism, including some based in 'the West', also focus on Sanskrit. With aid from its supposed spiritual allies, the Aetherius Society still forges ahead on its mission to save Earth from its extra-solar foes. It regards Sanskrit not merely as the ancestor of all human speech but as vastly ancient and the main lingua franca of a whole swathe of inhabited planets! Naturally the Theosophical Society also focuses on Sanskrit; Blavatsky's ideas on the language and on linguistics, which were strange and dated even in her own time, continue to command respect.
Some writers with no connection with India also trace remote languages to Sanskrit – see for instance my previous newsletter article on New Zealand for a discussion of Tregear, who traced Maori/Polynesian to Sanskrit.
In something of a reversal of the view that Sanskrit is an Ursprache, some other writers (predictably, they appear to be Muslims) claim that it is Urdu, the main Islamic version of Indic, that should be seen as basic. On the basis of grotesquely feeble arguments, they claim: (a) that the grammar of Hindustani (Urdu and Hindi together, the two being very similar), which they describe as 'especially simple' (on the basis of one feature!), cannot possibly be derived from that of Sanskrit, which they regard as an unnecessarily complex and 'primitive' language; (b) that only 10% of the Hindustani vocabulary is of Sanskrit origin (this figure is arrived at partly by deriving many such words from genuine cognate forms in Persian, which they find more congenial as it is the language of an Islamic country); (c) that phonological elements in Urdu borrowed from Arabic are in fact ancestral; and so on. None of this holds up.
Indus Valley Script
Anand Sharan, a Newfoundland-based physical scientist, provides an example of a non-Indo-European interpretation of IVS, which he believes is still in use far away in Bihar State, India. He thinks it represents Dravidian (the most popular scholarly view); and – like most who share this view – he invokes Brahui, the isolated surviving Dravidian language of the Indus region. Unlike many Indian thinkers with other (Indo-European) loyalties, he therefore accepts an invasion of users of Indo-European (very early Sanskrit) around 3500 BP, but (as a 'Dravidian supporter') he also denies that the Dravidian-speakers were culturally and technologically inferior to these invaders. His account of how in that case Dravidian came to be pushed south is not entirely convincing. And of course it is not agreed that IVS is indeed still in use, in Bihar or anywhere else. This material may be worth reading, though; see Sharan's website.
Of course, the above-mentioned Indian thinkers with Indo-European loyalties continue to promote the view that IVS (as 'deciphered' by activists) represents early Sanskrit, which was therefore in India much earlier than orthodox scholarship maintains. I have referred to Bryant's advocacy in more scholarly terms of a version of this position, and there are also some other fairly scholarly (but nevertheless slanted) works advancing such theories. One book of this nature was published by Rama Sarker in 2002. But more extreme books and websites also proliferate, most of them altogether amateur as far as the linguistics is concerned and some of them ludicrously one-sided and/or overtly religious in inspiration.
Again, even non-Indian 'fringers' have been drawn into the IVS question. For instance, Clyde Winters and other Afrocentrists decipher it as Dravidian; they go on to link Dravidian generally, Sumerian and even Chinese with African languages held to have been widely diffused by an early African diaspora. And Joseph Mahan, one of the hyper-diffusionist 'American Epigraphists', identified some Amerindian tribes as part of an Indus Valley diaspora. He was unable to incorporate linguistic evidence seriously in his argument, simply because the script has no accepted decipherment, and he relied largely on artefacts and place-names; but his thesis implies that linguistic links would also be found in the event that IVS was finally cracked. Indeed, Barry Fell, the guru of the Epigraphists, was yet another who thought he had deciphered it – as early Sanskrit/pre-Sanskrit.
Other non-standard theories involving India involve claims to the effect that important events and figures normally identified with other areas should be relocated to India. For instance, H. D. Daunt placed the events of the Old Testament in India, equating Biblical characters with figures from Indian history and myth. He supported these claims with linguistic equations of the usual amateur kind, involving superficial similarities between isolated words.
Another set of claims in this vein involves Jesus, who is said to have spent some of his 'missing' years in the region, and/or to have survived his crucifixion and then to have relocated to Kashmir (or elsewhere in India), eventually dying there. One author who has argued along these lines is Andreas Faber-Keiser.
And so it goes on…
Mainstream Indologists (including some who do not specifically identify as skeptics) have on occasion gone so far as to draw attention to the non-scientific nature and Hindu bias of much of the material on IVS; one such piece appeared in 2000. Perhaps predictably, however, the pace has not slackened noticeably in the interim. The same can be said for other aspects of Indian nuttery, whether or not it involves linguistics. The subcontinent will doubtless remain a happy skeptical hunting-ground for some while yet!

Should Layman Be Blazers' Small Forward?
Priority Sports Staff2019-03-02T02:43:50-05:00February 6th, 2019|Basketball, News|
On the night Jake Layman set his career high with 25 points, which continued a solid if not spectacular three-week run of play, he left the arena Tuesday night not knowing if he would be in the Trail Blazers' rotation come Thursday.
"I think I have done everything I could at this point to earn coach's trust," Layman said.
Still, aside from wondering whether Neil Olshey will pull off a big trade before Thursday's deadline, Layman is at the center of what has become the most pressing question around the Trail Blazers these days: What will coach Terry Stotts do at small forward?
Maurice Harkless has been the team's starter for much of the past three seasons, and is a favorite of Stotts because of his defense. But he has been limited and largely ineffective this season because of lingering left knee soreness.
Then on Sunday, the Blazers acquired Rodney Hood in a trade with Cleveland, and Stotts—a bit uncharacteristically—said Hood will play, and play immediately.
And there's also Evan Turner, who engineers the second unit as a point forward, and is invaluable with how many positions he can guard.
So where does that leave Layman, a guy who has averaged 14.2 points the past 10 games?

We know our community succeeds when everyone has a safe, affordable place to call home. The Housing Services Department is dedicated to planning for housing needs in Brantford and Brant County.
The Brantford – Brant Housing Stability Plan 2014 - 2024 will guide a housing and homelessness vision that incorporates solutions and initiatives to a range of housing options and supports, with a focus on dignity, pride in community and self-sufficiency over the next decade.
The Wesley Live Well program provides housing focused support that includes linking individualized and flexible support services for people with high needs related to physical or mental health, developmental disabilities or substance use. Clients involved with this program have experienced repeated or chronic homelessness and the program focuses on following the "Housing First" philosophy of homelessness prevention.
Housing First outcomes show that providing safe, affordable housing, with access to health and social services, will yield positive health outcomes and reduction in the use of costly emergency care for individuals coping with complex physical and mental health conditions. If you are or know a citizen in Brantford or Brant County that might benefit from this program contact our Housing Resource Centre.
The Marlene Avenue 30-unit building is focused on the goal of reducing homelessness and providing housing to persons who have typically endured the most difficulty obtaining and retaining housing. Clients will be approved for housing in the building through the Wesley Live Well program and will typically include individuals who are chronically homeless, individuals transitioning out of other provincial institutions (corrections, child welfare, hospitals, etc.), indigenous peoples, and youth.
The City of Brantford and County of Brant in partnership with Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation hosts an annual forum for interested partners and community members to come together to discuss issues affecting the affordable housing community.


One of my favorite quotations from Thomas Jefferson, and one that I often quote, is a sentence from his first Inaugural Address in 1801. In it, he gives to Congress and the American people his definition of a good government.
This quotation came to mind a couple of days ago when I read an article by Grover Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform. According to Mr. Norquist, America celebrated "Cost of Government Day" on July 16 this year. Cost of Government Day is different from "Tax Freedom Day" which came this year on April 23.
Tax Freedom Day is the day the average American has earned enough income to pay his share of taxes for that year. Cost of Government Day is the day the average American has earned enough income to pay the actual cost of government for that year. The reasons for the difference between the two dates are twofold.
Tax Freedom Day is simply a measure of all taxes collected at the federal, state and local level compared to the total national income. It does not attempt to measure the actual cost to taxpayers of running the government. For instance, it does not include government I.O.U.s and it does not include the money paid by the taxpayer in higher prices for goods and services caused by government regulations.
When all factors are considered, the total cost of government consumes a shocking 54% of all the income earned from all sources in America. The total tax burden for 2008 is 30.8%. The difference of 23.2% represents the amount not paid directly by the taxpayer as taxes in the current year.
According to Norquist, 18% of the national income goes to pay the hidden costs of federal and state regulations. The taxpayer feels these costs as higher prices paid for goods and services. The remaining 5% is the amount borrowed by the government that will eventually have to be paid by future generations.
We should all be outraged by how far our government has strayed from the principles laid down by the Founding Fathers. By Jefferson's standards, our experiment in self-government appears to be a miserable failure. Our government is certainly not "wise and frugal". It does only a mediocre job at preventing us from harming one another. Instead of leaving us "free to our own pursuits of industry and improvement", we find ourselves hemmed in on all sides by government regulations. As to, "taking from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned"; that seems to be the one thing at which government is most efficient.
If Obama is elected President, he has promised to increase the cost of government by at least 25%. McCain has also promised to increase the cost of government if he is elected, but by somewhat less than Obama. Can we afford either?

Marion Body Works builds cabs, bodies for range of applications
By Chad Elmore27 January 2021
Five legs for stability: Marion Body Works is a manufacturer of fire trucks, commercial truck bodies, aluminum custom cabs, custom-engineered vehicles and defense equipment.
Depending on one's perspective, Marion Body Works is a manufacturer of fire trucks, commercial truck bodies, aluminum custom cabs, custom-engineered vehicles or defense equipment. Given a wider view, one will see it is home to all five.
"We're a custom manufacturer of components that go on straight trucks. That's a high-level description of who we are," said Curtis Ignacio, president, Marion Body Works, Marion, Wis. "We have five legs of a stool, and the way we look at it is those five legs really help us balance our business, so when we have downturns such as from COVID-19 or the 2008 recession, we will survive it."
Family run since it was founded as a blacksmith shop in 1905, Marion Body Works today employs more than 300 people throughout a campus that uses 20 of the 63 acres it owns in the small town in central Wisconsin.
"All of our products are related to the other," said Ignacio. "When we've had people come in, everyone's got their eyes on the new firetrucks. That work helps prove our capabilities and gives them a level of trust in what we can do. Then, they'll recognize we're also building defense units for our warfighters, such as wrecker bodies, cargo bodies and troop carriers. When they see that, it gives our work even more legitimacy because they know we're building equipment that will hold up in all parts of the world. Then, they'll see our cab business and the commercial body work, where we do everything from refrigerator trucks to moving vans.
"We do a lot of stuff here," he said. The factory is equipped to do the work customers require. "For example, because our defense work is mostly made from steel, we have always certified our welders and that standard carries over to the products"
Custom aluminum cabs
Marion Body Works will happily fabricate custom products from steel. However, since 1964 it has made a name for itself with aluminum products, first with all-aluminum fire apparatus and later custom cabs.
There are several benefits to building a cab from aluminum, said Ignacio. "Aluminum is lighter, and it doesn't rust. Many of our cab customers have found that steel stampings were cost prohibitive in the production runs they need. We use aluminum extrusions for less investment in time and money. Plus, we can make the extrusions that replace two- or three-piece stamped parts."
The company's engineering team works directly with OEMs to develop new product for their customers. Using an integrated design approach, the company can match current designs to ensure parts commonality as well as the proper fit and finish and safety regulations.
That approach to product development means there is no off-the-shelf Marion cab. "Some years back, when I was more involved with some of the day-to-day cab sales, I would get call from a potential customer," said Ignacio. "After he told me who he was and that he was looking for a cab supplier, he'd ask, 'What does your cab look like?'
"I said, 'Well, it doesn't look like anything because we don't have a Marion cab sitting out there.'
"Then I'd ask, 'What does your cab need to look like? What does it need to do? What are you using today? What are the problems you're having with it? Do you need more room in it? What certifications do you need? Do you already have a less-than-stellar vendor supplying your cabs? Are they shipping on time? Or do you just want a new design?'"
Once answers to questions like that are figured out, Marion Body Works can get to work, developing the finished product in partnership with the client. Its engineering team also ensures the cab is designed from the standpoint of manufacturability, looking for the most expedient way to build the product. Ignacio said the company prides itself with on-time performance, with 99% on time rate for cabs, which are shipped to the customer for final paint and assembly.
On the cab side of the operation, the company currently works with several equipment manufacturers in markets such as fire apparatus and material handling. While agricultural and construction equipment sales numbers tend to be higher than a custom manufacturer such as Marion can support, "where we're going to excel is with customers that will sell 100 to maybe 500 pieces annually," said Ignacio. "That's the kind of customer that has a niche where we'll fit in well."

Graham Memorial vs. Italy
Brothers Once More Monument
This monument sits at the top of Pound Gap between Union Kentucky and Confederate Virginia, overlooking this hotly contested, held off-and-on by both sides, area during the Civil War. It may be the only monument to the Civil War dedicated to both sides. For more information about the monument, click here.
Route Seven Jeremiah Cemetery
It's a small cemetery, but it holds the final resting place of veterans of all the wars the United States fought in through Vietnam, and may some day be the resting place of veterans of our successive wars as well. Flags fly there that represent all those eras.
Crase's Branch
During the Civil War the Branson family lived in a log cabin at the mouth of Crase's Branch. Three of their sons fought, all on the same side. (Not always the case. Brothers really did fight on different sides in the Civil War, and circumstances led some combatants to fight on both sides.) Opposition forces caught the three brothers at home when one was convalescing from the battle of Lost Creek, and attacked the cabin. That cabin, riddled with bullets, survived about a hundred years before it burned, but none of the brothers survived that day. The last fled up Crases' Branch, only to be found hiding in a fodder shock and bayoneted to death. Click here for more information about the Bransons' last days.
Barn Hollow
Barn Christian was another soldier lost in that war. Barn's wife was about to give birth, and he took leave to be with her. Neighbors on the other side learned of his presence, called him out, and shot him to death on his front porch in front of his wife. She gave birth that night to stillborn twins, and the three were buried in one grave. A monument in Barn Hollow commemorates that event.
Sand Lick hospital and graveyard
The hospital is no longer there, but locals have restored and beautifully maintain the graveyard where dozens of the men who died of their wounds while in the hospital are buried. For more information about the graveyard and its restoration, click here.
Battle of Leatherwood
On the weekend in October nearest the historic date, Civil War re-enactment groups come from all over to restage the Battle of Leatherwood. The battle site is just off Kentucky Route 7 near the Letcher/Perry County Line. Come and talk with "General Robert E. Lee" or "President Abraham Lincoln," tour the old buildings, take in the period clothes, browse the sutler's booths, read the list of battle participants, and watch the battle. On the first day, while the site is open to the public, the re-enactors generally devote the bulk of their attention to touring groups of schoolchildren. The two successive days feature the battle re-enactments. Click here for more information.

Grandad Science: Grandadscience Loves to Program!
Did you know that grandadscience also blogs about computer programming or, as it's now called, coding?
Since the introduction in the 1980s of the Apple IIe, powered by the BASIC programming language, I have had a strong interest in helping learners of any age learn the basic fundamentals of computer programming .
I have taught learners to program in BASIC, Logo, Starlogo, the Texas Instruments version of BASIC, and now, I'm using Scratch, a new language designed for beginners (and skilled coders too). To understand the attraction of Scratch as a coding language, watch this short video from the producers of Scratch.
Scratch is a product of the Multimedia Lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Coding in Scratch is a very popular activity with over five million Scratch programs (called projects) uploaded to the Scratch community web site. To the best of my knowledge, Scratch is by far, the largest educational online community anywhere in the world. To learn more about Scratch, and hopefully join the throng, click on this link.
You can visit my Scratch programming blog by clicking on this link.
My posts represent math and science projects that I programmed because I wanted to explore the topic that forms the core of the program and are too advanced for beginners but I have posted a number of projects designed for the beginner.
For example, I have written three Getting Started with Scratch documents.
The first document guides the reader through the steps of building a script (program) that draws a square with a side length of 100 steps. This introduces the blocks menu and the mechanics of connecting blocks together to build a script. Think of this level as the arithmetic level.
The second document describes how to create variables, sliders, and how to set the minimum and maximum values in a slider. The size of the square is now under variable control. Think of this level as the algebraic level.
The third document helps the reader build a script that will draw any regular polygon. In a regular polygon the side lengths are equal. A slider controls the number of sides and again, the side length is controlled by a slider.
The relationship between the number of sides and the turn angle for a regular polygon of n sides requires a bit of mathematical analysis but how to get to the relationship is described in the document. Think of this level as the generalized algebraic level.
You may request any or all of these documents—in PDF format— by sending an email to: grandadscience@gmail.com.

First Power Rangers Beast Morphers Trailer Released!
Rounding out an exciting day of Power Morphicon reveals, we now have the first full trailer for the next Power Rangers series!
Power Rangers Beast Morphers is set in the near-future, where scientists have learned to channel the powers of the legendary Morphing Grid to create technology far beyond anything seen before. But when the EVOX computer virus gains sentience & wants the Grid for himself, a team of warriors must unite to stop him- by combining Morphing Grid energy with animal DNA to become the newest team of Power Rangers!
Power Rangers Beast Morphers will be airing on Nickelodeon in 2019! Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on this remarkable new adventure in Ranger history!
Not going to lie, not digging the snake virus. The skull from Gobusters was much cooler.
From the trailer, this feels like it might be a one season approach again. Hope so. That'd make later things easier and would speed up the transition to Hasbro influenced material. Instead of having to wait 4 years, we could see Hasbro stuuf take hold in 2 or 3. Depending on what footage is used after this.
Liking the setup and premise too. Hope it takes off.
I like what we've seen, wanna see more about the characters though.
Nickelodeon: But skulls are too scary for American kids. But snakes are cool.
Getting a kind of Bloodstalk vibe from it personally.
I think they went with snake to keep the animal motif overall. So it might play more into the story on why.
Skulls aren't typically something Nickelodeon worries about. So I don't think that change had to do with concerns of kid reactions.
1:04 time stamp has gold and silver.
Also the Dark Buster suits looks more like an evil Cobra Ranger then a Cheetah.

HARLEM AND THE FUTURE:
PRESERVING CULTURE & SUSTAINING HISTORIC CHARACTER IN A CHANGING ENVIRONMENT
The City College of New York Spitzer School of Architecture
141 Convent Avenue at West 135 Street in Harlem
Cost: $10.00 includes lunch and walking tour
Free for Seniors & Students / RSVP Required
Moderator, Terrance McKnight, Host on WQXR Radio

Eric Pryor, Executive Director, Harlem School of the Arts
Harlem is not just a geographic locale in Upper Manhattan, but a diverse African-American community with a rich history represented by a remarkable architectural heritage. While the success of the play "Hamilton" has led to an explosive growth in visitors headed uptown to see the Hamilton Grange historic site, the physical embodiments of Harlem's cultural heritage have long been simultaneously celebrated and threatened. What would today's Harlem be if residents had not fought to preserve and nurture the cultural spaces that fostered the talents of Miranda, Strayhorn, Gershwin, and countless others? The continuous changes in the community prompt further questions: Who decides what stories are preserved and retold? How do we prioritize what we want to save to illustrate Harlem's cultural development? This panel will focus on these questions and look at the cultural brand of Harlem, which has attracted global attention, and reflect on whether it represents the community as a whole.
Moderator, Carlton Brown, Architect
Chris Cirillo, Lott Community Development
Daniel Marks Cohen, Housing Partnership Development Corporation
Joseph Coppola, AIA Principal, Dattner Architects
Harlem's built environment, from its ornate brownstones to its human-scale character, tells the story of the neighborhood's development and evolution. Unfortunately, much of Harlem's physical fabric has been lost to demolition, both by neglect and redevelopment, over time.
Landmark designation has proven itself to be an important tool in the fight to preserve character and manage change but it may not always be the most effective nor desirable way to protect a neighborhood. As demonstrated by the remarkable restoration of PS 186 on 145th Street, community activism and public-private partnerships can lead to positive results even without landmark designation. This panel will look at the ways Harlem residents can reinforce their community's identity while also adapting to growth and development.
Social Fabric: What's the New Religion? Churches at Risk
Moderator, John T. Reddick, Architectural & Cultural Historian
Rev. Michael A. Walrond, Jr., Senior Pastor, First Corinthian Baptist Church
Rev. Reginald Bachus, Associate Pastor of Abyssinian Baptist Church
Ann-Isabel Friedman, Sacred Sites Program, NYC Landmarks Conservancy
The beautiful stone churches of Harlem stand out as landmarks in the neighborhood. While these buildings have lasted decades, the congregants that utilized them reflect the evolving character of the community. Throughout their history, Harlem's churches have served as a home and well-spring in shaping the neighborhood's social dynamics. In particular, the role of the church in Harlem's African American community is evidenced in everything from music to the civil rights movement. Today, technological and demographic shifts, both globally and locally, have reshaped the way Harlemites interact with one another and created new "congregations" outside of religious institutions. These changes leave congregants, preservationists, and residents asking what's to become of the buildings imbued with historical, architectural, and social value. In seeking to explore, "what's the new religion" this panel looks to consider how contemporary needs and uses may revitalize and breathe new life into Harlem's historic church buildings.
