Q: Java TFS SDK - How to get changes made in a Specfic commit I'm able to get list of Build Definitions in a Project. Then obtained the Builds under each Build Definition and commit details under each Build. Right now I'm only getting 6 fields in Commit details.
Author
CommitId
Committer
Message
Timestamp
Uri

But I don't able to find any api to obtain the changes made in that commit. I want do some string parsing in the commit changes to obtain a value. Is it possible to get commit changes by respective commit using TFS SDK..?

A: TFS SDK for Java does not provide a full feature to interact with Git repositories. There is a Rest API which can get this information easily but it is only supported from TFS 2015. Since you are using TFS 2013, the alternative way would be use libgit2 to get the detailed information about a commit.

A: Assuming you are trying to get the associated changeset summaries from the specified build. Then you are looking for InformationNodeConverters.GetAssociatedChangesets Method (IBuildDetail).
Check this case which should help you:
"
After a lot of fiddling around I finally found the solution. Changeset's have been renamed to Commit's for TFS 2013's git support. Consequently you need to ask for that data when you get build details like this:
var buildDetailSpec = _buildServer.CreateBuildDetailSpec(buildDefinitionUris);
buildDetailSpec.InformationTypes = new[] { "AssociatedCommit" };

Then you perform the query as usual:
var buildQueryResult = _buildServer.QueryBuilds(new [] { buildDetailSpec });
var buildDetail = buildQueryResult[0].Builds;

Then you retrieve the commit, not the changeset, like this:
var commits = buildDetail.Information.GetNodesByType("AssociatedCommit");
var author = commits.First().Fields["Author"];
var comments = commits.First().Fields["Message"];

Mykola Volodymyrovych Martynenko (; born  12 January 1961) is a Ukrainian politician who was formerly a People's Deputy of Ukraine, as a member of the People's Front.

Martynenko was a member of the Verkhovna Rada from the 1998 Ukrainian parliamentary election until 2015. From 2009 until 2011 he headed the parliamentary faction of the Our Ukraine-People's Self-Defense Bloc.

On 26 June 2020, a court in Switzerland found Martynenko guilty of money laundering, and sentenced him to 28 months in prison.

Involvement in embezzlement in Ukraine, Switzerland and Czech Republic
In December 2015 Martynenko resigned from parliament amid a corruption scandal.

He became the first people's deputy in the history of Ukraine who voluntarily refused the parliamentary mandate to show that he was not afraid of investigations against himself.

Martynenko is suspected of organizing large-scale embezzlement by Ukrainian, Swiss and Czech authorities.

On October 8, 2015 M. Martynenko said that the case against him was instituted without any grounds on the order of the pro-Russian energy lobby and oligarchs as while he headed the parliamentary Committee on fuel and energy he defended the diversification of supplies of Russian gas and nuclear fuel, and the progressive law on the gas market adopted with the assistance of M.Martynenko did not allow billions of illegal super profits to be earned by the oligarchs

On January 17, 2017, the court ordered NABU to close the so-called "Martynenko case" within 10 days
but in the opinion of the former MP NABU took an unprecedented step - decided to illegally appeal against the court's decision which is based on the practice of the European Court of Human Rights, so it is final and can not be appealed.

On March 30, 2017, Mykola Martynenko appealed to the National Anti-Corruption Bureau, the Verkhovna Rada, the President and ambassadors of the G-7 and the European Union in Ukraine on "political persecution, gross violations of the law and presumption of innocence". Martynenko reminded that in 2015 he voluntarily retired as the people's deputy of Ukraine and refused the parliamentary immunity. "During 15 months, the detectives of NABU found out: there is no evidence of my illegal activities. However, Artem Sytnyk and Gizo Uglava do not leave their intentions to falsify the charges against me. Unfortunately, the leaders of NABU are guided not by law but by political motives, aspirations for their own PR and personal revenge."

On December 19, 2019, the case in Switzerland, in which Martynenko appears, was transferred to a Swiss court. Martynenko's defense said this had happened under pressure and at the insistence of lawyers, publishing a copy of the appeal to the Federal Criminal Court of the Swiss Confederation. Martynenko's press service explained the procrastination of the Swiss prosecutor by the fact that there was no evidence in the case, so Köli "wanted to transfer the burden of proof in court to the Ukrainian SAP, NABU and the Ukrainian court." On June 26, 2020, a Swiss court of first instance sentenced him to 12 months in prison and up to 16 months probation Mykola Martynenko's Swiss lawyer Reza Vafadar stated that "in Switzerland a person is considered innocent and not convicted until all stages of the Swiss legal system have been passed - the appeal and the federal Supreme Court. "

On December 8, 2020, a Swiss State Police officer was fined for bribery but not for abuse of power, by a Zurich court, for receiving money from a former Stasi agent to investigate the Swiss Federal Court proceedings against Martynenko. The former Ukrainian politician was convicted of money laundering six month earlier, and sentenced to a lengthy prison sentence in Switzerland.

Israeli firm's cameras recording Japanese nuclear core
Security cameras installed by Israeli defense company at Fukushima plant have ability to detect presence of radioactive clouds in air.

As the world continues to gaze with concern at Japan's Fukushima nuclear power plant, hi-tech security cameras installed by an Israeli defense firm are recording events at the troubled core from an insider's vantage point.
The Arava-based Magna BSP company, which specializes in producing and installing stereoscopic sensory and thermal imaging cameras, had been contracted to place cameras around one of the plant's six cores – the core that has been experiencing explosions and overheating.
Speaking to The Jerusalem Post on Monday, Magna's head, Haim Siboni, said the thermal cameras also had the ability to detect the presence of radioactive clouds in the air, but added that Magna had not been able to gain access to the images recorded by the cameras at this time.
"Because we are using these special cameras, we can also identify radioactive clouds, due to the spectrum that our cameras can sense," Siboni said.
Although Magna is able to gain remote access to its computer system, which receives the cameras' images, Siboni said his company had not yet been authorized to do so.
"We have not been allowed to take control remotely yet," Siboni said.
Magna has been asked to secure a second core at the Fukushima plant in the near future.

Representative food consumption data for children are collected in KiESEL, the German nutrition survey for children aged 6 months up to five years conducted by the German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR). The data gained will update the consumption data for German children and will fill a data gap that existed for the age group of 5-year-old children. It will provide an actual and comprehensive data basis that will be used for exposure assessment, as part of risk assessment of Germany's youngest consumers. In the years 2014 to 2017, around 1,000 children will participate in the context of the KiESEL module of the German Health Interview and Examination Survey for Children and Adolescents (KiGGS). During home visits, survey staff conducts a questionnaire-based interview, measures the children's height and weight and explains the weighing records for the family and the child care workers. The data will be used for risk assessments of the BfR and provided to national and international partners such as the World Health Organization. This article describes the background and objectives of the study as well as its methodology and survey instruments.

Can Houston Sustain All These New Performance Venues?
From The Heights to Sugar Land, new music halls have been opening and reopening. Now Rice University has announced plans for a new music space.
Amy Bishop
| Posted on December 22, 2016, 5:19 PM
The Shepherd School of Music at Rice University
Filling a Houston venue on the weekend probably won't be a concern anytime soon, but what about the rest of the week? "I think it goes back to the question of, can you fill them Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday nights, as well as Friday and Saturdays?" says Kathryn McNiel, Houston Theater District's CEO.
Just in the past year, we've seen the opening of the White Oak Music Hall and the reopening of the Heights Theater. The Smart Financial Centre in Sugar Land opens in January and the University of Houston just renovated the Cullen Performance Hall. This week, Rice University announced it'll break ground on a new music space next September.
But McNiel says to keep in mind that Houston keeps getting bigger. The Greater Houston Partnership says we added nearly 160,000 residents last year. It could be a case where the sprawl works to its advantage. "You're talking about a large region," McNiel says. "You're talking over 4 million people. So there's certainly a lot of diversity of shows that people do want to go to."
Besides, the area has a record of filling its new spaces. The Midtown Arts and Theater Center has stayed consistently booked since its opening a little more than a year ago.

We've read of Babylon, Persia, Greece, and Rome. We know of the important role of Jerusalem and Israel. But what about the United States of America?
Only by the greatest expanse of ingenuity can you read of the USA in the Bible. Granted, it is not hard to find those with that kind of creativity, but no tenable method of interpreting Scripture finds a specific reference to the United States in the pages of the Bible. The scenarios I give below are, by necessity, nothing but informed speculation.
What happened to the greatest venture into democracy the world has ever known? Surely a nation as large, powerful, and prominent as the United States would have some quality role in the last day's government, wouldn't it?
"Flight will perish from the swift, And the stalwart will not strengthen his power, Nor the mighty man save his life. He who grasps the bow will not stand his ground, The swift of foot will not escape, Nor will he who rides the horse save his life. Even the bravest among the warriors will flee naked in that day," declares the LORD (Amos 2:14-16).
Generally the inner decay sets in decades or more before the nation falls. Sometimes the nation remains in name, but the heart of the nation is radically altered. Today's Western Europe has nothing of the heart and spirit for which it was once known. The expansionist passions of Europe (fanned in no small measure by a longing to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ to new lands) that discovered the New World no longer remain though many of the country names and borders live on. The missionary fires of England have been so extinguished that what once fueled the desire to spread the Christian message to unreached lands, and that was at the heart of European proliferation for hundreds of years, has now given way to such Christian void that today these same lands are the beneficiaries of Christian missionary activity rather than benefactors.
The United States of America was born in principled courage. When our pilgrim fathers landed at Jamestown, they celebrated through worship because they had come to worship. Personal freedoms and liberties and the ability to forge their own future were at the heart of their life-threatening quest across the Atlantic to an unknown and uncertain destiny. It took two hundred years for these forefathers to convey their notions of liberty to fulfillment in a nation born of their struggle and to achieve their purpose. These two hundred years, from 1620 to 1820, were overflowing with stories of moral courage.
Politically, there is much talk but little action. We have voted ourselves a raise over and over, and now we depend on the government sow for our milk. Until recently, when a disaster approached or after it passed, individuals took care of themselves and their possessions. What they could not move, they insured; what they could not insure, they were prepared to lose. Today, when a disaster like a hurricane approaches, we reach to the government to take guardianship of all of us. We have created such welfare cultures and dependent attitudes that we find large segments of the population unable to take care of themselves and expectant that the government will do so. If the government does not handhold its citizens to safety, the media will cry foul. How different this is from 1792, when "We, the people" held the hand of government and kept it in line; we were the parent, and the government was the child. This kind of freedom takes moral courage, to a great extent lost in America today.
In its finest days America had military bravery that just would not stop. It was in our DNA, spun into the fabric of our national soul.
In the early days General Washington and his troops, encamped in a cold Valley Forge winter — underfed, poorly clothed, ill-equipped — would not let the reality that they were far outnumbered and overpowered diminish their determination to let freedom ring.
On Christmas Day, 1776, just a few days after being inspired by Paine's words, General Washington led twenty-four hundred soldiers across the Delaware River. Each of them knew the password: victory or death.
How far from today's world. With victory in sight, we have been known to retreat. With the relative loss of a few, we are ready to give in. Modern America has such a lack of military courage that this country has lost wars that, militarily, were already won.
One further, and more positive, scenario remains. It is possible, even probable, that the concluding scenario of the rapture is the final straw that breaks the country's back.
When the rapture occurs — and nothing is keeping its occurrence save the mercy and patience of Almighty God — large sections of America will be left decimated. Of all the nations of the world, perhaps the United States will be more negatively affected by the rapture than any other. Sadly, some nations will scarcely notice the rapture.
In a recent sampling, 82 percent of those surveyed identified themselves as Christians. While few would contend that these 82 percent have a saving relationship with Jesus Christ, the number is nonetheless large enough to merit an argument for an enormous and rapid breakdown of our national strength following the removal of the born-again community, instantaneously and without notice. Make no mistake, should the USA remain until the day of the rapture, it will develop into a Third-World country in an instant. This country — then ravaged by crime, hunger, lawlessness, and chaos — will long for a "savior" of its own. It is easy to imagine a scenario in which America quickly succumbs to the leadership of anyone who can help.

Q: Giphy uplaod works with .ajax but not fetch I am trying to upload a gif to Giphy.  It works using jQuery/.ajax but I can't get it to work with fetch.
Here is the .ajax version:
$.ajax({
    type: "POST",
    url: "http://upload.giphy.com/v1/gifs",
    data: {
      api_key: "E0sxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
      source_image_url: "https://urlto/snoopy.gif",
      tags: "cute dog",
    },
    success: function (data) {
      console.log(data);
    },
    error: function (data) {
      alert("fail");
    },
  });

and here is the fetch version which returns a 401 error:

 fetch("https://upload.giphy.com/v1/gifs", {
    method: "POST",

    body: {
      api_key: "E0sxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",

  }).then((response) => {

  });

I'm am not schooled on fetch so any help with what I am doing wrong would be great.

A: You can't pass a plain object as the request body to fetch as you do in $.ajax. Use a URLSearchParams object
 fetch("https://upload.giphy.com/v1/gifs", {
    method: "POST",
    body: new URLSearchParams({

InvITs continue to evolve in infrastructure M&A
The infrastructure sector has seen much M&A and private equity activity in recent years. While some sub-sectors have contracted due to the pandemic with a consequent slowdown in M&As, others such as renewable energy have continued to show considerable M&A activity even over the past 12 months.
A structure that has gained traction in M&A transactions in infrastructure is the Infrastructure Investment Trust (InvIT). The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) devised this vehicle in 2014, with an aim of facilitating investments in stable and revenue-generating infrastructure assets. Simply put, InvITs are designed to do for infrastructure assets what real estate investment trusts tend to do for completed real estate assets. The real boost to the use of InviTs has come in the last three years after the tax laws were amended to provide a tax pass through mechanisms and other preferential treatment that made InvITs more efficient.
Under the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Infrastructure Investment Trust) Regulations, 2014 (InvIT regulations), InvITs are established as trusts and can be set up with units publicly offered and listed (public listed InvITs), with units privately placed and listed (private listed InvITs) or with privately placed and unlisted units (unlisted InvITs). The first InvITs to be implemented were the public listed InvITs, but there is an increased focus on private listed InvITs and unlisted InvITs now. The SEBI has proactively engaged with the sponsors of such InvITs and their advisers, and has assisted them with timely guidance and clarification. The SEBI has regularly examined the InvIT regulations, introduced amendments to clarify certain situations and filled gaps that were identified by the industry.
The adoption of InvITs as investment structures has also flourished as investments in InvITs by non-residents have been permitted under the foreign direct investment regulations, without prior governmental approval. This has allowed international strategic and financial investors to make investments in the infrastructure space through these vehicles.
Infrastructure developers have always used special purpose vehicles (SPVs) to house individual infrastructure projects. This has the benefit of segregating risk and reward in individual projects and has helped with project financing. However, this creates multilayered corporate structures, with one company holding all the SPVs. Developers have had to face regulatory aspects around such holding companies, and have found it inefficient to upstream coupons and maximise returns from exits due to inherent inefficiencies and cash traps. However, InvITs are efficient alternatives as holding vehicles for such SPVs once the projects are completed, as they largely minimise these inefficiencies.
InvITs as investment structures would also interest the limited partner (LP) community. Long term global and local LPs invest in offshore blind pool fund structures or onshore alternative investment fund structures to access the infrastructure sector. They now have the additional option to invest directly, especially in public or private listed InvITs. The InvIT regulations require that stable and risk-free assets are included in the InvIT, a transparent corporate governance regime is in place and there is sufficient information about the assets, including their performance, held by the InvIT. These investments hence have the benefit of enhanced efficiency of returns, transparency and liquidity inherent in these investments. As a result, several relatively inactive LPs and especially, sovereign wealth funds have now entered this market and invested in InvITs.
General partners (GPs) of private equity funds may well use InvITs to invest in completed infrastructure projects, either as club deals for standalone investments or as platform vehicles for ongoing investments. At the other end of the life cycle of the investment, GPs could use InvITs to partially or fully exit investments in completed projects. The GPs would have the added benefit of continuing to act as the investment manager for the InvIT, even after their original investment positions have been partially or fully liquidated.
The InvIT regulations need further amendment and refinement as we go along, such as being able to access the full range of onshore and offshore borrowing options. However, with nine InvITs already operating across a broad section of sub-sectors and several more in the pipeline, the InvIT is a vehicle that is finding increasing favour with investors and developers for infrastructure M&A.

This year's Grand Basel has come up with a spectacular world premiere. For the first time in history, the Linea Diamante will be on display – no less than 65 years after it was first designed by architect and industrial designer Gio Ponti.
The story behind the car is that it was the right idea, but at the wrong time. Gio Ponti, who was born in 1891 and passed away in 1979, was responsible for coming up with numerous iconic pieces of architecture and designs and in 1928 also co-founded the influential Domus magazine, which is celebrating its 90th anniversary this year and supporting Grand Basel as a cultural partner. In 1953, the Milan native set about revolutionising the world of automotive design. He found the tear-shaped car design that was popular at the time to be old-fashioned and so worked together with his colleague Alberto Rosselli to design a car body, the likes of which the world had never seen. It boasted a geometric and simple design made up of flat sheet metal and large windows. He named the concept the Linea Diamante, i.e. diamond-shaped line.
The exterior was not only visually appealing, it also had its advantages: more daylight and more space in a smaller area. Ponti also worked in collaboration with tyre manufacturer Pirelli to develop yet another innovative feature: a rubber bumper that protected the front and the back of the car along with additional spring-based bumpers.
Ponti considered the Alfa Romeo 1900 Berlinetta to be the ideal technological basis for his vehicle. He spoke with Carrozzeria Touring about the car and even talked to Fiat later about the project for a subcompact model. Despite this, the design was ultimately rejected, as it was seen as being too radical and not suitable for the masses.
Two decades later, Ponti's idea was proved correct, as many cars were then constructed in a design similar to the one he developed. The Linea Diamante was, however, consigned to the past and there was no evidence of its existence, except for a few 1:10 models. That is, up until now! The idea to recognise the genius of the car's inventor was realised to coincide with Grand Basel.

A disability is the inability to work because of physical or mental impairments that have lasted or will last for at least a year, or result in death.
Tragic accidents can lead to permanent disabilities. Motor vehicle accidents involving cars, trucks, and motorcycles can require hospitalization and a long recovery time. There may also be an accident at the workplace, such as a construction worker falling. Defective or unsafe products may have issues that cause the product to malfunction or become a fire hazard. A medical professional may make a mistake during a surgical procedure. In these cases, the negligent actions of someone are most likely responsible for your injuries. We will make sure they are held accountable.
Those living with disabilities have rights that apply to matters of employment and accommodations from the government. To get a better idea of your rights, let's look at the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Hiring and Firing. An employer cannot ask about disability on job applications or during an interview. While they can ask if the person will need accommodations to complete the job, the accommodations must be reasonable. The employer cannot decide to hire someone else because you require accommodations.
Job Training. Employers need to provide employees with accommodations when they request them, and employees can declare their disability anytime.
The state and local governments must also comply with the ADA. Their services, programs, and activities need to provide accommodations when someone with a disability makes a reasonable request.
The ADA aims to prevent discrimination based on disability, but this doesn't mean it stops it from happening each time. If there has been a situation where you believe you've been discriminated against because of your disability, you can contact the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and the Kentucky Human Rights Commission.
What Are the Benefits of a Disability Claim?
The injuries that led to your disability may have caused you to incur hospital bills, and you know you'll have future medical costs to aid with recovery or to help you live your daily life with this disability.
These costs can be a heavy financial burden, especially if you're unable to work for a while or not able to go back to work at all. But your disability claim can help you with these financial situations and provide relief from financial stress.
Your permanent disability lawyer in Lexington will do everything possible to get you the benefits you need. There are several factors that will strengthen your claim and give you a better chance of having a successful claim. Let's take a look at what that entails.
What Do You Need to Prove Your Disability Claim?
Your disability claim should have the following components. Your lawyer will help you gather these necessary items.
Medical Documentation. Gather any evidence of the injury. This includes medical records like X-rays, tests, or treatments and medication that were recommended. Your lawyer may also look into the scene of the accident and take photographs.
Negligence of Responsible Party. You will need to show how the other party acted negligently against you.
Connect Your Injury to Negligence. Show that your injuries and the damages that you've suffered are a direct result of the other party's negligence. Then you can start to move forward with your claim.
It's possible that you will need to undergo another physical examination or provide additional information to further provide evidence of your disability. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to get in touch with our permanent disability lawyers. We'll be able to guide you throughout this process and make sure you take all the steps necessary to make your claim successful and avoid the ones that could possibly jeopardize it.
The Law Office of Todd W. Burris understands how complex disability claims can be and we also know that you may be depending on this claim to be approved. An insurance company may look for any reason to reject your claim, but that's where we come in.
Protecting your rights and securing your benefits all starts with contacting our offices and scheduling a free consultation today. No matter what the cause, we'll stand up to insurance companies on your behalf. We'll carefully examine your case and gather the evidence required to show that your disability qualifies you for the compensation you deserve.

Q: Concatenate values in ascending order using pandas I have a DataFrame with some columns. The columns are: A1, A2, A3. I would like to create a new column let's name it 'CON'. The new column is a string concatenated from A1, A2, A3 with a separator. The concatenation is sorted by the values of the values of the columns.
For example:
data = pd.DataFrame({
    'A1' : ['b1', 'a1', 'a2'],
    'A2' : ['b2', 'a3', 'b1'],
    'A3' : ['c2', 'a2', 'a1']
  })

data['CON'] = sortedConcat(data['A1'], data['A2'], data['A3'])

The expected result is:
   A1  A2  A3       CON
0  b1  b2  c2  b1-b2-c2
1  a1  a3  a2  a1-a2-a3
2  a2  b1  a1  a1-a2-b1

I have tried to loop the whole dataframe row by row, extracted the values to a list, sorted it and finally created the result. It was quite slow and resulted an ugly code. Is there a more effective way?

A: Use DataFrame.apply with join and sorted:
data['CON'] = data.apply(lambda x: '-'.join(sorted(x)), axis=1)

Alternative with list comprehension:
data['CON'] = ['-'.join(sorted(x)) for x in data.values]

print (data)
   A1  A2  A3       CON
0  b1  b2  c2  b1-b2-c2
1  a1  a3  a2  a1-a2-a3
2  a2  b1  a1  a1-a2-b1

A: Using np.sort over axis=1 in combination with list comprehension:
data['CON'] = ['-'.join(x) for x in np.sort(data, axis=1)]

   A1  A2  A3       CON
0  b1  b2  c2  b1-b2-c2
1  a1  a3  a2  a1-a2-a3
2  a2  b1  a1  a1-a2-b1

Details:
np.sort gives us a sorted array:
np.sort(data, axis=1)

array([['b1', 'b2', 'c2'],
       ['a1', 'a2', 'a3'],
       ['a1', 'a2', 'b1']], dtype=object)

Edit to only select certain column, you can use loc or iloc, loc is label based indexing (so with column names), iloc is position based indexing.
# Random columns
list_cols = ['col1', 'col5', 'col9', 'col12']
data['CON'] = ['-'.join(x) for x in np.sort(data[list_cols], axis=1)]

# First 10 columns
data['CON'] = ['-'.join(x) for x in np.sort(data.iloc[:, :10], axis=1)]

# Column 4 - 14
data['CON'] = ['-'.join(x) for x in np.sort(data.iloc[:, 4:14], axis=1)]

A: You could do:
data['CON'] = data.apply(lambda x: '-'.join(sorted(x)), axis=1)

print(data)

 A1  A2  A3       CON
0  b1  b2  c2  b1-b2-c2
1  a1  a3  a2  a1-a2-a3
2  a2  b1  a1  a1-a2-b1


Comments: Al Scheid first planted vineyards in Monterey County, in early 1972. Monterey wine grape growing was in its infancy, and Al was drawn to the region for its untapped potential. Now entering our 47th year of farming, we own 11 estate vineyards located along a 70-mile spread of the Salinas Valley.


The Ottone surname was created from the Germanic personal name Odo, or Otto. Oddi, is patronymic or plural form of the surname.
The surname Ottone was first found in Perugia (Latin: Perusia), the capital city of the region of Umbria in central Italy, crossed by the Tiber River, capital of the province of Perugia. Perusia took part in a rebellion in 295 B.C. and was reduced with the exceptions of the temples Vulcan and Juno. In the 9th century A.D the city was a papal territory but remained true to the Guelphs. Records are found in 1280, when Oddo Oddi was mayor of Parma. From this family came two more mayors in Parma: Ungaro in 1291 and Marolo in 1293. To be recorded at this time, at the beginning of recorded history, was of itself a great distinction and indicative of noble ancestry.
This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Ottone research.

Alcohol Problems & Solutions
Young Drivers & Alcohol
Young drivers are over-represented in alcohol related driving accidents. Although drinking, binge drinking, and alcohol related crashes are dropping among young people, specific actions are recommended to further reduce traffic accidents involving alcohol.
Alcohol & Young People
Drugged Driving: Young Drivers Going to Pot
Young people are over-represented in driving accidents involving alcohol. In a recent year, people aged 16 to 24 were involved in 28 percent of all alcohol-related driving accidents, although they make up only 14% of the U.S. population. 1 Young people are also over-represented in drinking driver injuries and deaths. 2 Even when their blood alcohol contents (BACs) are not high, young drinkers are involved in driving accidents at higher rates than older drivers with similar BACs. 3
Teens and other young people may be over-represented in drunk driving accidents because, in part, they tend to
be relatively inexperienced drivers
be relatively inexperienced consumers of alcohol
be more likely to use illegal drugs
have a false sense of invincibility and immortality
Fortunately, driving accidents have been declining among young people, just as they have among the general population. And deaths associated with young drinking drivers (those 16 to 24 years of age) are down dramatically, having dropped 47% in a recent 15-year period. 4
In contrast to popular belief, drinking among young people is dropping and has been doing so for many years. For example, statistics demonstrate that within a period of about 20 years, the proportion of American high school seniors who
have ever consumed alcohol is down 13%
have consumed alcohol within the previous year is down 15%
have consumed alcohol within previous 30 days is down 27%
have recently consumed alcohol daily is down 67%
have "binged" (consumed 5 or more drinks on an occasion within previous two weeks) is down 24%5
Drinking among young people in general continues to drop
The proportion of youths aged 12 through 17 who consumed any alcohol within the previous month has plummeted from 50% in 1979 to 19% in 1998, according to the federal government's National Household Survey on Drug Abuse. Thus, the proportion of young drinkers has dropped in 1998, the most recent year for which statistics are available, from one in two to under one in five in 1979. 6
Honestly!
Unfortunately, exaggerating the extent of drinking problems on campus creates a self-fulfilling prophesy. When young people go off to college falsely believe that "everybody is drinking heavily," then they tend to conform in order to fit in as a college student. Thus, those who exaggerate the problem of alcohol abuse actually contribute to the problem and make it worse.
When students find out that most others don't drink as much as they incorrectly believed, they feel empowered to drink less. So, honest accuracy rather than dishonest exaggeration is the most effective way to reduce alcohol abuse and the problems often associated with it. 14
The proportion of both junior and senior high school students who have consumed any alcohol during the year has dropped again for the third year in a row, according to the PRIDE Survey, a nation-wide study of 138,079 students. The Survey is designated by federal law as an official measure of substance use by teen-agers in the United States. 7
Drinking among college students continues to drop
The proportion of American college students who abstain from alcohol has increased 16% between 1989-1991 and 1995-1997, according to the federally-funded CORE Institute at Southern Illinois University. 8
The proportion of first year college students who drink beer has fallen dramatically and recently reached the lowest point in over 30 years. Similar drops have been documented in collegiate wine and spirits consumption over the past decade by UCLA's Higher Education Research Institute. 9
So-called bingeing is not only down among high school seniors but is also down among college students, and has been declining for a number of years. (Most so-called bingeing is not bingeing at all... See "Binge Drinking")
"Binge" drinking dropped significantly among college students in the United States in the four-year period between a recent study by Dr. Henry Wechsler of Harvard and his earlier study. He also found that the proportion of college students who abstain from alcohol jumped nearly 22% that short period of time. 10
College student "binge" drinking recently reached the lowest level in the nearly twenty years that that the University of Michigan's Institute for Social Research (ISR)has conducted its surveys for the National Institute on Drug Abuse. The proportion of college students who drink has also reached a record all-time low according to ISR research. 11
College students drink less than people think
College students simply don't drink as much as everyone seems to think they do, according to researchers using Breathalyzers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Even on the traditional party nights of Thursday, Friday and Saturday, 66% of the students returned home with absolutely no blood alcohol content; two of every three had not a trace of alcohol in their systems even on party nights.
"I'm not surprised by these results," said Rob Foss, manager of Alcohol Studies for the UNC Highway Safety Research Center, which conducted the study with funding from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the North Carolina Governor's Highway Safety Program. "Other Breathalyzer studies we have done with drivers and recreational boaters show similar results - less drinking than is generally believed. We have substantial misperceptions about alcohol use in this country."12
While drinking abuse, including drunk driving, is down dramatically among young people, much remains to be done. Too many young people are still needlessly killed or injured as a result of drinking and driving.
We need to reduce Drinking and Driving
Social Pressure is very effective in reducing drunk driving
Never condone or approve of intoxication. Intoxicated behavior is dangerous and never amusing
Don't ever let your friends drive after drinking. Take away their keys, have them stay the night, have them ride home with someone else, or do whatever else is necessary - but don't let them drive!
Designated Driver Programs save lives
Volunteer to be a designated driver. It could save your life and the lives of your friends
It's important to realize that inexperienced drinkers become intoxicated with much less alcohol than do experienced drinkers and are much more likely to have traffic accidents after consuming small amounts alcohol. Even a single drink dramatically increases the chances that a teen-aged driver will have a driving accident. 15
Graduated penalties for driving with higher BACs could saved lives
Faster speeders get higher speeding fines and higher blood alcohol contents (BACs) should get higher penalties. Drivers with blood alcohol contents of .20 are hundreds of times more dangerous than those with only .02 and should receive much higher penalties.
We need to reduce Drugging and Driving
For safe driving, never use illegal drugs. Illicit drugs are involved in a large proportion of driving accidents, injuries and deaths. Marijuana and other drugs reduce coordination, reaction time, and other abilities required to drive safely.17 In the case of marijuana, this impairment lasts as long as 24 hours after smoking just one joint. 18
As many as nearly 40% of injured drivers have tested positive for marijuana and the proportion is probably much higher for young drivers. 19 Police almost never test for illegal drug use and many accidents blamed on alcohol are actually caused by illicit drugs. 20
We need to improve Driver Education
Prospective drivers should be taught adequate information on alcohol and driving and they should be tested on this material on their driver's exams. In too many states, the subject is given only brief mention and seven states do not include any information or testing on it in the process of obtaining a driver's license. 21
In driving, beginner's luck isn't good enough. For much helpful information, see Phil Berardelli's practical book, Safe Young Drivers: A Guide for Parents and Teens, (McLean, VA: EPM Publications, 1996), which is available at your public library or through your library's Inter-Library Loan office.
We need to increase Safe Driving
Don't drive when fatigued. The dangers posed when fatigued are similar to those when intoxicated. Drunk or fatigued drivers both have slowed reactions and impaired judgment. Drivers who drift off cause about 72,500 injuries and deaths every year according to federal estimates. Drowsy driving is a major problem for young people, especially males 18 to 25, because they tend not to get enough sleep. 22
Don't use a car phone, apply make-up, comb your hair, or eat while driving. Drivers using car phones have about the same chance of having an accident as driving drunk! And hands-free cell phones are just as dangerous to use while driving. 23
Avoid driving late on weekends. Alcohol-related driving accidents are much more likely to occur at night and on weekends. 24

Kamala Harris Claims Russia, Not US Racism, Behind Kaepernick Furor
The former career prosecutor sees Russians everywhere, but can't recognize white supremacy.
"The FBI opened a file on Malcolm X in 1950, claiming he was a Red."
Democratic presidential hopeful Kamala Harris claimed that the furor surrounding San Francisco 49ers star Colin Kaepernick's protest was artificially generated by Russia. "Remember bend the knee and Colin Kaepernick?" she said on influential New York-based radio show The Breakfast Club, "it actually was not a thing. The Russian bots started taking that over."
"They test out a couple of things to see what can get the American public going at each other, pointing fingers at each other," the California senator said. "Guess what gains the most heat? Race." Harris did not mention whether she believed Russians were responsible for ensuring Kaepernick did not get another job in the NFL again.
Her comments surprised many, as however many Russian Twitter bots may have retweeted the story, their influence surely pales in comparison to that of the mainstream media or the President himself in stoking the fire of the controversy. There are 278 articles on CNN when searching for "Kaepernick protest" since 2016, 364 in the New York Times and nearly 800 on Fox News. Meanwhile, at an Alabama rally, President Trump called for his dismissal. "Wouldn't you love to see one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespects our flag, to say, 'Get that son of a bitch off the field right now, out, he's fired. He's fired!'" Mr Trump said. "You know, some owner is going to do that. He's going to say, 'That guy that disrespects our flag, he's fired.' And that owner, they don't know it [but] they'll be the most popular person in this country." Thus, that certain Russian bots added their weight to the outrage may technically be correct, it is a matter of emphasis.
A Long History of Connecting Black Activism with Russia
Since Trump's election there has been a storm of articles in mainstream media, from the likes of CNN, The Daily Beast and Wired, insinuating Russia was behind the rise of Black Lives Matter and a host of other online black activist groups. Progressive media like the Black Agenda Report has come under mounting censorship as the site has been linked to Russia. Individuals have also been under suspicion. Progressive Georgia-based activist Anoa Changa was smeared as a potential Russian hack by the mainstream press for appearing on a Sputnik radio show.
This is hardly a new phenomenon, however. The civil rights movement was constantly slandered as being in the pockets of the Soviet Union. In 1965, for instance, Martin Luther King was challenged on NBC's Meet the Press about supposed Communist infiltration of the movement. Going further back, the FBI opened a file on Malcolm X in 1950, claiming he was a Red. It is starting to seem like anyone challenging the status quo will be written off as a foreign agent. It is in this context we should read Harris' comments; that any political or racial tension in the country is unnatural and must be generated by outsiders.
Even mainstream movements like Bernie Sanders' have been tarred as Putin-backed. The Washington Post, for instance, asked, "When Russia interferes with the 2020 election on behalf of Democratic nominee Bernie Sanders, how will liberals respond?"
Tweets about Tweets
Another example of figures claiming Russia is behind domestic strife occurred during the information wars about vaccines. In 2018 a scientific paper claiming Russian bots amplified fake news and debate about vaccines online caused a storm of media interest. Buried very deep in the paper, however, was that the researchers only found 25 tweets on vaccination from what they questionably describe as "known Russian trolls"– hardly a propaganda blitz. However, the paper generated enormous media interest; ten times as many news outlets reported on the tweets than there were tweets themselves! Furthermore, the Twitter outrage about Russian bots dwarfed the bots themselves, with over 11,000 people linking to the scientific paper alone.
The Value of Blaming Russia
For mainstream, corporate Democrats like Harris, Russia is a useful excuse as to why they lost to the most unpopular presidential candidate in history. If it was largely Putin's fault, there is no need for self-reflection, to address campaign flaws, and certainly not to cede ground to a left-wing insurgency speared by Bernie Sanders. Instead they can present a rosy picture of America free from strife and not have to tackle so many of the problems they helped create. As Hillary Clinton said, "America is already great".
The truth is that there are deep racial and class divisions in the US, which is precisely what Kaepernick was attempting to address with his protest. "I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color," the ex-San Francisco quarterback said. "To me, this is bigger than football and it would be selfish on my part to look the other way. There are bodies in the street and people getting paid leave and getting away with murder."
For Harris, a former prosecutor who has spent her career enforcing a racist and unjust criminal code, locking up great numbers of people of color, this worldview is unpalatable, hence the need to brush aside questions of racial justice and deep rooted racism as a manufactured crisis. If people started "pointing fingers" on racial injustice, she would be one of the first in line.

I had never really been into antiques but a girlfriend of mine goes all the time and promised to take me with her the next time she went. We walked into Not Too Shabby and I was amazed by the variety of stuff they carry. They had lots of vintagey-modernish pieces. I ended up finding this beautiful hand painted lamp that I Knew would look great in my living room. I had never purchased antiques before so I had to ask my girlfriend if the pricing was reasonable which she assured me it was.
Not Too Shabby has not added any photos.

Seaward, John (DNB00)
←Seaton, Thomas (1806-1876)
Seaward, John
by George Clement Boase
Sebbi→
Seaward, JohnGeorge Clement Boase1897
SEAWARD, JOHN (1786–1858), civil engineer, son of a builder, was born at Lambeth, London, in January 1786, and began life as a surveyor and architect, working with his father. He was afterwards engaged by Grillier & Co., contractors for the erection of Vauxhall Bridge; the direction of that work was entrusted to Seaward, and this circumstance brought him the acquaintance of Jeremy Bentham and Ralph and James Walker. He next managed some lead-mines in Wales, acquired a knowledge of chemistry, and became friendly with Woolf, Trevithick, and other mechanical engineers. Returning to London, he superintended the construction of Gordon's, Dowson's, and other docks on the Thames, and became agent for the Gospel Oak Ironworks in Staffordshire. He was at the same time connected with the Imperial and Continental Gas Company, and introduced gas lighting into several towns in France, Belgium, and Holland. In 1823 he made drawings for a new London Bridge of three arches, each of 230 feet span. In 1824 he established the Canal Ironworks, Millwall, Poplar, for the construction of machinery, more particularly of marine engines. The first vessel built there in 1825, the Royal George, was intended to run between Dover and Calais. He joined the Institution of Civil Engineers as a member in 1826, and was a frequent attendant at the meetings.
A younger brother, Samuel Seaward (1800–1842), joined John about 1826; the brothers produced machinery for every part of the world, and made the name of Seaward widely known. In 1829 they assisted in the formation of the Diamond Steam Packet Company, and built the engines for the boats which ran between Gravesend and London. Of these, the Ruby and the Sapphire were types for speed and for accommodation. In 1836 the brothers brought out the direct-acting engines for the Gorgon and Cyclops, known as Seaward's engines, nearly dispensing with the heavy side-beam engines which up to that period were in general use. Their success was complete, and the saving obtained in the consumption of fuel by the double-slide valve, both for the steam and exhaust, with other improvements, caused the government to entrust the Seawards with the building of twenty-four steamboats and some smaller vessels. At the same time they adapted their engines to the vessels of the East India Company, the Steam Navigation Companies, and the ships of foreign governments. They early advocated the use of auxiliary steam power for the voyage to India, and experimented with the Vernon in 1839 and 1840 with great success (Trans. Instit. of Civil Engineers, 1842, iii. 385–401). They also designed large swing-bridges, dredging machines, cranes, and other dock-apparatus, besides machinery for lead, saw, and sugar mills. Among the improvements and inventions for which John Seaward was personally responsible were the tubular boilers, which are still used in the royal navy, the disconnecting cranks for paddle-wheel engines, the telescopic funnel, the self-acting nozzles for feed and for regulating the saturation of the water in marine boilers, the double passages in cylinders both for steam and eduction, the cheese-couplings used to connect and disconnect the screw propeller to and from the engines, and other minor improvements.
The death of Samuel Seaward, who was a F.R.S., at Endsleigh Street, London, on 11 May 1842 (Min. of Proc. of Instit. of Civil Engineers, 1842–3, ii. 11–12), threw upon John Seaward the entire management of the Canal Ironworks. In the construction of the engines of the Amazon, eight hundred horse power, he produced one of his most perfect works. The vessel unfortunately was destroyed by fire on her first passage to the West Indies on 4 Jan. 1852. He died at 20 Brecknock Crescent, London, on 26 March 1858.
He was the author of: 1. 'Observations on the Rebuilding of London Bridge, with an examination of the Arch of Equilibrium proposed by Dr. Hutton, and an investigation of a new method for forming an arch of that description,' 1824. 2. 'Observations on the Advantages and Possibility of successfully employing Steam Power in navigating Ships between this country and the East Indies,' 1829, signed J. S. & Co. For 'The Steam Engine,' by Thomas Tredgold, 1850, he contributed articles on 'Steam Navigation,' 'Vessels of Iron and Wood,' the 'Steam Engine,' and on 'Screw Propulsion.'

This Kid Friendly Canned Pumpkin Recipes post is sponsored by Cans Get You Cooking.
20 kid friendly canned pumpkin recipes… say what? Yep I'm as excited as you are about all-things-pumpkin.
It can be a challenging task to ensure your little ones are getting the nutrition they need.
As a millennial mom, there is an overload of information about what you "should be" feeding your toddler. Typing one phrase into Google can yield thousands of results and decision making becomes even harder.
I recently attended a culinary workshop in New York City, sponsored by the Cans Get You Cooking program, a campaign affiliated with the Can Manufacturers Institute. I learned a ton about canned foods – from the history of the canning process to the many nutrition benefits of cans to sustainability and food waste facts. Did you know that steel cans are infinitely recyclable?
After the workshop, I was inspired to put my newfound knowledge to use and have rounded up my favorite Kid Friendly Canned Pumpkin Recipes. With two kiddos in the house, there is a lot of meal "enhancing" thanks to fruit and veggie purees, and we rely on canned foods like 100% pure canned pumpkin to help my boys in the veggie department.
Did you know that a well-stocked pantry of canned fruits and vegetables can help you serve up the recommended 42 cups of fruit and 53 cups of vegetables a family of four needs every week?!
In fact, research shows that kids and adults who used six+ canned foods per week are more likely to have diets higher in 17 essential nutrients, including potassium, calcium and fiber.
Another bonus is that there are so many different types of canned fruits and vegetables to choose from!
With fall in full swing, canned pumpkin has made its debut in the kitchen.
It is packed with nutrients such as vitamins A, C, and potassium that can help your toddler grow and strengthen their immune system. It's also incredibly versatile so there are a number of ways to boost your nutrition game and incorporate canned pumpkin into your toddler's meals – whether in smoothies, sauces, soups, bars, spreads, dips, and breads. Give one of these kid friendly canned pumpkin recipes a try!
Mix things up a bit with your toddlers favorite fruit or veggie smoothie by adding some canned pumpkin! Better yet, try a pumpkin flavored smoothie! Toss a few simple ingredients like frozen fruit, canned pumpkin, and kefir into the blender to make a tasty frozen treat perfect for breakfast or snack-time.
Canned pumpkin is a convenient add in to sauces for a nutrition boost. If your toddler is already enjoying foods like pasta, pumpkin can add nutritional benefits to their favorite pasta dish. Add canned pumpkin to your stovetop mac n cheese, blend it into a cream sauce and serve over linguine, or stir it into a meaty bolognese.
Fall is the perfect time to whip up a hearty bowl of yummy soup, especially chili. It's such an easy meal to assemble as a busy mama. Add a few spoonfuls of canned pumpkin to your next batch of chili and you've got the perfect combo!
A grab-and-go snack that is healthy and simple to make is music to a mama's ears! A blend of canned pumpkin, oats, dates, flaxseed, cashews, and chocolate; a great recipe that your toddler is sure to love! My son calls these pumpkin power balls "cookies"!
There are so many variations when it comes to quesadillas– anything with cheese is a win in our house. Combine canned pumpkin with a few spices and spread it onto a tortilla with shredded chicken or beans and cheese for a fast and delicious lunch or dinner.
We even like to add apple slices to our pumpkin quesadillas for a sweet and savory kid favorite quesadilla. Mamas, this is such a simple and nutritious meal that tastes like fall and is likely to become a go-to weeknight dinner!
Combine canned pumpkin with some yogurt and peanut butter (powder or jarred) to make delicious and nutritious Pumpkin PB Yogurt Dip. This tasty dip can be paired with your toddler's favorite fruits and/or veggies – strawberries, apple slices, and even carrots. This dip can also be eaten by itself for your teething and/or weaning toddler!
Is there anything better than adding canned pumpkin to your favorite baking recipe? It not only boosts the flavor but the nutrient content too. Adding some canned pumpkin to pancakes, waffles, oatmeal, and muffins is another simple way to ensure your toddler is getting the most nutrients from food as possible. Sounds like a mama win!
Not only is canned pumpkin packed with nutrients, it also saves you time in the kitchen. Instead of spending time peeling, dicing, pureeing, and cooking fruits and vegetables for your little ones, canned pumpkin takes the stress out of preparing a healthy meal. Keeping your pantry stocked with canned foods helps you get through the week with creative meals you can feel good about serving your family and friends.
According to a survey of 1,000 moms with kids in the household, nearly half (49%) are likely to run out of food in their fridge on Thursday or earlier. Sixty-one percent frequently resort to takeout or go out to eat because they don't have the ingredients on-hand to make dinner.
Life is busy enough so I say the easier the better when it comes to eating healthy! I am always on the hunt for ways to decrease my time spent in the kitchen while still making sure my kiddos are getting as much nutrients through their food as possible. Canned pumpkin is a staple in our house year round which is why I have so many kid friendly canned pumpkin recipes on this site. The fact that I have been able to mix it into my boys' food is a mom win in my book.
I hope these ideas for Kid Friendly Canned Pumpkin Recipes have been helpful and that you'll try some of these creative ways to incorporate canned pumpkin into your babe's food!
