Q: Shift column in pandas dataframe up by one? I've got a pandas dataframe. I want to 'lag' one of my columns. Meaning, for example, shifting the entire column 'gdp' up by one, and then removing all the excess data at the bottom of the remaining rows so that all columns are of equal length again.
df =
    y  gdp  cap
0   1    2    5
1   2    3    9
2   8    7    2
3   3    4    7
4   6    7    7

df_lag =
    y  gdp  cap
0   1    3    5
1   2    7    9
2   8    4    2
3   3    7    7

Anyway to do this?

A: Time is going. And current Pandas documentation recommend this way:
 df.loc[:, 'gdp'] = df.gdp.shift(-1)

A: To easily shift by 5 values for example and also get rid of the NaN rows, without having to keep track of the number of values you shifted by:
d['gdp'] = df['gdp'].shift(-5)
df = df.dropna()

A: First shift the column:
df['gdp'] = df['gdp'].shift(-1)

Second remove the last row which contains an NaN Cell:
df = df[:-1]

Third reset the index:
df = df.reset_index(drop=True)

A: df.gdp = df.gdp.shift(-1) ## shift up
df.gdp.drop(df.gdp.shape[0] - 1,inplace = True) ## removing the last row

A: In [44]: df['gdp'] = df['gdp'].shift(-1)

In [45]: df
Out[45]:
   y  gdp  cap
0  1    3    5
1  2    7    9
2  8    4    2
3  3    7    7
4  6  NaN    7

In [46]: df[:-1]
Out[46]:
   y  gdp  cap
0  1    3    5
1  2    7    9
2  8    4    2
3  3    7    7

A: shift column gdp up:
df.gdp = df.gdp.shift(-1)

and then remove the last row

Companionship facilitator: Jed Koball
Red Uniendo Manos Peru (Peru Joining Hands Network) is an ecumenical network open to other faith and spiritual confessions. The network was formed at the start of the 21st century with a mission of bringing together the Church and civil society to accompany vulnerable populations and contribute to the social, environmental and economic management of their communities.
The network seeks to generate alternative models for local and global sustainability by promoting inclusive and equitable spaces for participation. At the same time, the network advocates for public policies that will shape an economy driven by solidarity and cooperation in the interest of all of life.
It is the vision of the network that through this participatory work, it will contribute to undermining the powers of marginalization, discrimination, exclusion and violence, and thereby promote a world of harmonious co-existence among all.
Presently, the network includes eight Peruvian NGO´s and Churches, located throughout the country, representing a broad diversity of populations and environments. The network seeks to ensure the full participation of women, indigenous populations, African-Peruvian communities, rural farmers, and youth.
Our Context
From the desert along the Pacific coast to the Andes Mountains and the Amazon Jungle, Peru is one of the most ecologically diverse places in the world, rich with natural resources.
Cultural diversity is also part of Peru's story. Once home to the Inca Empire, it was invaded by Spanish Conquistadores in 1532, and later received thousands of African slaves and Asian indentured servants that were forced into harsh labor.
Due to its vast territory and gold and silver production, Peru was considered one of Spain's most important colonies. Declaring its independence from Spain in 1821, Peru continued to exploit the resources of the land for its own economic growth and development.
Today, the Andes continue to have great mining potential, and the Amazon basin has rich oil deposits. Increased exploitation of such resources, known as extractive activity, has led to major economic growth in recent decades, yet the gap between rich and poor in Peru is one of the highest in the Americas. Among the most impoverished peoples are indigenous populations whose livelihoods and way of life are gravely impacted by contamination of air, land and water. Furthermore, Peru is one of the most vulnerable countries in the world to climate change.

The network organizes its mission into three strategic lines of work:
I. Promoting the Care of Our Common Home
Two initiatives shape our efforts to address the impacts of extractive activity and climate change in Peru:
Environmental Health for Communities Impacted by Mining. This advocacy campaign is rooted in the accompaniment of the population of La Oroya, one of the ten most contaminated places in the world, where nearly 100% of the children have been shown to have severe lead poisoning due to metallurgical activity in the town. Our focus is to secure comprehensive health care for the people, mitigate the contamination from toxic metals, and ensure such contamination does not continue.
The Tree Fund. This developing fund is used to support reforestation efforts of our network members in order to mitigate the impacts of human-generated carbon emissions as well as to rehabilitate lands effected by climate change. Also, this fund supports actions to protect the Amazon Rainforest.

II. Facilitating Local and Global Solidarity
Three initiatives shape our work in building meaningful partnerships among people of radically different contexts. This work is not only focused on the accompaniment and support of vulnerable populations, but also on the transformation of individuals to become greater actors in dismantling racism, sexism, other forms of discrimination, as well as in becoming better stewards of the Earth.
Short-Term Service Trips with project foci on reforestation, education, or women's rights.
Study Trips to develop shared strategies in addressing the extractive industry and climate change.
Young Adult Volunteer Program – a year-long service opportunity for 19-30 year-old young adults in which vocational discernment, leadership formation, simple living, and dismantling systemic racism are central components.
III. Modeling the Strength of Diversity
As an intentionally diverse body of eight NGO´s and churches from across Peru, we are committed to be a healthy example of multiple perspectives coming together out of love and concern for humanity and this One Common Home we share. Our institutional viability is a witness to the goodness of God´s vast Creation. Continuing to build upon our own capacities and finding new and creative ways to collaborate is a service to the world that we take to heart.

Meet the Kickstarter for Dinner Parties: Zokos
By Sarah Kessler 2012-04-16 08:08:00 UTC
Nobody wants to collect cash at the door of their dinner party, but feeding a group of friends can be expensive. A new startup wants to stop this conundrum from leading to fewer dinner parties.
The site, Zokos, gives guests a way to pitch into dinner party costs without an awkward exchange of cash.
Using the platform, hosts can set a minimum and maximum number of guests they'd like to invite to dinner, send invitations through Facebook or email, and request that each guest contribute a certain amount to the cost of the party. RSVPed guests' PayPal accounts are only charged if the minimum number of guests are reached, similar to the way Kickstarter funders only pay when a funding goal is reached. Zokos charges $.30 plus a 3% fee for each transaction.
"It's not really crowdfunding, it's friend funding," co-founder Christopher Kieran says.
Kieran and his co-founders first hatched the idea of a dinner-party-promoting system while in graduate school at Yale. They were members of Veggie Dinners, a 300-person club in which each member hosts one dinner party per month in exchange for the right to attend other members' dinners.
When they founded Zokos, their original idea was to bring Veggie Dinners to the masses. The product quickly evolved into a way to share dinner party costs, however, when it became apparent that a group-based system was hard to scale.
Zokos's current site retains the likelihood of meeting new people that was inherent in a dinner party club of 300 people by allowing invited guests to invite their friends. There's also a public dinner party option that lets you open your tablet to the world, but Kieran says that it's taking off in San Francisco "and nowhere else."
If you're planning a party, there are plenty of established site such as Evite and Paperless Post that you can use to manage invitations and RSVPs. The real value proposition of Zokos is making hosting less expensive, and if what prevents people from hosting dinner parties is the cost rather than the hassle of cooking and cleaning, it's a good one.
"I think the potluck is a solution to the same problem that we're dealing with, which is that it's expensive to host a party," Kieran says. "It's the new potluck."

Indian investors in UAE need not register online, Indian workers…???
The objective is to keep track of people who are exiting India for employment to any ECR countries.
Indian expatriates with investor visas and dependent visas do not need to register on India's eMigrate platform, according to an FAQ document and advisory released by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) Overseas Employment Division on Thursday.
Diplomatic mission heads in Dubai also confirmed that all Indian expatriates working in the UAE with an emigration check not required (ECNR) passport have to do a mandatory one-time registration on the country's e-migrate platform, www.emigrate.gov.in, 21 days or at least 24 hours before they leave from India.
Consul-General of India to Dubai Vipul confirmed dependents of Indian expatriates, such as spouses, children and parents, working in the UAE need not register on the platform. The rule is applicable to all Indian nationals working in all 18 ECR countries listed by India's MEA.
Failure to do so will result in the off-loading of unregistered non-ECNR emigrants at all international airports across India, starting January 1, 2019. Their registration confirmation would be verified by the Bureau of Immigration (BoI) at emigration counters prior to their departure.
Vipul said: "If you are working in an ECR nation and you have an employment visa stamped on your passport, you will have to register on the eMigrate platform. Spouses or children who have jobs, but are on a dependent visa, need not register on the platform.
Expatriates travelling to India on a short holiday or an emergency trip are also required to complete the registration, confirmed Vipul. "The process does not take more than five minutes," he explained.
The FAQ document added: "Those already working overseas are not required to register while they are overseas. However, if they come on vacation and are returning back on the same employment they would need to register. This is only required one-time for a given employment duration." Residents would need to re-register once they undergo an employment change as well. The advisory also said the decision will not affect investors.
The eMigrate system was launched by the Indian government on June 1, 2015, to reduce the number of fraudulent jobs offers in India, particularly targeted at the country's working class. "It is also to keep track of the numbers of people who are exiting India for employment in any of the ECR countries. Furthermore, the workforce of Indians in ECR countries are very high. This decision has been made to safeguard their interests," he added.
For passengers who require emigration check, or (ECR) passport holders, the status will convert to ECNR after three years of overseas employment. "In this case, they will register like all other ECNR passport holders going for employment to ECR countries and they will not be required to obtain emigration check (EC)," added the FAQ.
Afghanistan, Bahrain, Indonesia, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Malaysia, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, South Sudan, Syria, Thailand, UAE and Yemen are the 18 countries listed by India.
Since a one-time password (OTP) is required to complete the registration on the platform, expatriates are required to use an Indian mobile number to finish the formality. "It is not required that the SIM card is registered under your name. As long as it is an Indian number, it is fine," added Vipul.


A light and delicious noodle salad that is so easy to make in under 20 minutes, with or without the eggrolls. Peanuts, mint and cucumber create a memorable Vietnamese flavour. This one is perfect for lunch and dinner.
For spring rolls, in large skillet over medium-high heat, add onion, garlic, and ginger and cook for 5 minutes; add mushrooms, cabbage, and carrots; cook for 3 minutes. Remove mixture from skillet; to same skillet add soy, oyster, and chili sauces and cook 1 minute; return vegetables to pan and toss. Removed from heat and cool. To assemble, place 1 tablespoon filling onto lower part of wrapper, brush outer edges with egg egg wash. Fold in sides and roll up tightly. Repeat with all wrappers. To fry, heat 2 inches vegetable oil in small pot to medium-high heat. Fry spring rolls in batches about 1 minute each, drain on paper towels.
For noodles, bring large saucepan of water to boil. Add noodles and cook 3 to 5 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water. Toss with 1 tablespoon vegetable oil; set aside.
To assemble salad, line 4 serving bowls with lettuce. Top with equal amounts rice noodles, cucumber, mint, and peanuts. Pour fish sauce over salad and serve with spring rolls. Can also be served with hoisin and hot chili sauce.

Farm-to-table style dining is a big hit in Mt. Hood Territory and French born Chef Pascal Chureau is at the forefront of that movement in our area. He's a great partner and he jumped on a Facebook Live video with us once at one of his restaurants, Allium Bistro, where we made an amazing dish with only a little (okay a lot) of help. Find the recipe below.
The big story, however, is the continued expansion of his sister company, Field and Vine Events and their Dinners in the Field. After starting out with one dinner five years ago held here in Mt. Hood Territory, the list continues to grow as do the number of venues. This year's lineup features 36 locations in The Territory and beyond, running from May 6 through December 9.
Dinners in the Field are a true culinary experience, combining beautiful agricultural venues and the foods they produce with the cooking prowess of Chereau and his compatriots into delicious, multi-course meals that are symphonies of flavor. The ingredients are often sourced right from the farm or other neighbors nearby, making the food as fresh as it could possibly be. Needless to say, the affairs are something that any self-respecting foodie need to attend.
Visit their full list to find the dinner (or dinners) that best fits in with your schedule.
As mentioned above, Pascal let us in his kitchen (possibly against his better judgement) and worked with us to create a dish that was both visually stunning and delicious. In all honesty, it was one of the best things I've ever tasted, and I don't even like fish. Give the video a watch to learn just how to add this awesome dish to your repertoire, or call Allium and make a reservation and let them make it for you.
verjus - Don't worry if you had to look this one up, I needed help too. It's essentially the pressed juice from unripened grapes.
Prep: Blanch potatoes, mince shallot and cut mushrooms to size.
In a hot pan, add oil and then sear both side of the halibut. Cook to completion (which was only a few minutes for us.) Remove, keep pain warm.
In another hot pan with oil, brown chorizo. Then add shallot. Once those are golden, add potatoes and mushrooms, stirring frequently. Add generous knob of butter and salt and pepper to taste. Add to plate. Place fish on top of fricassee.
In pan fish was cooked, add butter, then verjus and lemon juice. Cook for 30 seconds or so and then add sauce to top of dish. Enjoy with 3 of your closest friends. Or yourself if you're really hungry.

Having a good data backup plan is essential these days, but backup alone won't save you when you're hit by a cyber attack or other disaster. You need to ensure your employees can access vital data and applications elsewhere when your office environment has been hit so that core business can keep on going while you bring your systems back to normal.
To fulfill these preparations there's a fair amount of work to do. You need to map your data, i.e. work out what your most important data is, where it sits, and who has access to it. Then make sure this is data is being backed up daily and being stored offsite. You'll also need to find out how to encrypt the data. Next you need to find a place to defer to, either a physical location or a place in the cloud, so that operations can continue as usual. Testing your recovery site for full operation is equally important so that you continue to know if you have a workable recovery plan or not.
So how do you do all this? The easiest way is to let a DRaaS (dedicated disaster recovery as a service) provider take the problem off your hands for as little as R1500 per month. This way, dedicated business continuity experts will take over the task, and make sure your data is secure and your business systems are recoverable in an unaffected environment shortly after a disaster. It's infinitely easier than trying to do the whole thing on your own with your IT department taking responsibility. And the peace of mind you'll feel at being able to continue with business as usual – no matter what – goes without saying.

New York Rangers Analysis
Scouting the Free Agents: Jay Bouwmeester
By Joseph Fortunato@JoeFortunatoBSB Updated May 20, 2009, 6:00am EDT
Share All sharing options for: Scouting the Free Agents: Jay Bouwmeester
There is a storm brewing in Florida and it's not an incoming hurricane or tsunami. It is because of the decision made by Jacques Martin to hold onto perennial talent-and upcoming UFA-Jay Bouwmeester at the trade deadline. There was a lot of pressure for Martin to trade JayBo before he became an unrestricted free agent, especially since rumors surfaced that he would most definitely re-sign elsewhere; most likely with a contender. But with the Panthers on the brink of a playoff birth Martin decided to keep him, a decision which in hindsight was a mistake but one he says he doesn't regret.
Jay Bouwmeester
#4 / Defenseman / Florida Panthers
Born: Sep 27, 1983
2008 - Jay Bouwmeester 82 15 27 42 -2 68 9 0 2 1 182 8.2
Bouwmeester is most definitely one of the best young offensive defenseman in the league. He has scored 15 goals the past two seasons and has put up more than 40 points in three of his last four years. This past season he had 15 goals and 27 assists for 42 points. His best year point wise was in 2005-2006 when he had 5 goals and 41 assists for 46 points. Look let's be honest, JayBo has put up major points every year on a very bad team. Granted the Panthers were improved this year, but still failed to make the postseason.
Bouwmeester, wherever he signs, will be able to instantly step in a quarterback the power play. There is no question that he is one of the most dangerous defenseman on the ice. He also takes care of his own end recording a +18 his past four years combined, which is even more impressive when you think about how bad the Panthers have been. Unfortunately he has NO playoff experience. He has never once played in a playoff game, which is mainly why people think he wants to leave.
JayBo is exactly what the Rangers need, a young stud defenseman who can quarterback the power play and defend his own zone. But unfortunately he won't come cheap. If Glen Sather wants him that badly he will have to move mountains. If Campbell made 8 million a year last year JayBo is going to be looking for about the same money, no questions about it.
So as always here is your chance to play GM. Do you try to trade a MOVEABLE contract like Rozsival's or even refuse to sign an RFA like Zherdev or Callahan to make the space to sign him? How much is too much for a guy who can help the power play-which was the main reason why the Rangers didn't go very far last year. Would you sign him to an 8 million dollar a year contract simply because the Rangers need a player like him so bad? Do the Rangers even have a choice? Have at it in the comments!

#195* – EUkip's FINAL DEMISE Could Be Declan GANLEY!
COULD DECLAN GANLEY PROVE TO BE THE FINAL DOWNFALL OF EUkip?
EUkip has absolutely no defence against the charge that, by totally failing to actively campaign in Britain against The New Constitution Lisbon Treaty, they have left the door open for this mid range, mid ground Tory styled pro EU Reform Party to steal their ground, steal their clothes and leave them naked and unprepared.
The Abject Failure of EUkip to provide a strong message showing the benefits of leaving The EU, they have diluted their own message – joined the pro EU Reformist Ind.Dem.Group, which is now actively funding EUkip's own opposition!
The staggering failure of EUkip to hold to their message and capitalise on their achievements leaves them in the embarrassing position that with 12 elected MEPs EUkip has managed to get less positive, good publicity since 2004 than Declan Ganley has managed this week so far!
EUkip's achoievements since 2004 have been one long self inflicted wound – greatly exacerbated since Farage stole the leadership in a corrupt and sordid mock election.
Declan Ganley In France:
Discours de Declan Ganley, Président de Libertas Mesdames, Messieurs, Chers amis,
You are Europeans as I am a EuropeanI am proud to be an Irishman and a European Indeed, we are all proud to be European.
But when will Brussels have pride and trust in the citizens of Europe ?
Because until they have trust in the citizens of Europe, logically those citizens cannot have trust in them. In the past few days, in the statements and actions of the combined defeated Yes side in both Dublin and Brussels, it is becoming clear to me that it is the determined intention of the unelected, unaccountable Brussels elite and the servile yes men that seek their favour, while failing to fulfill their solemn duty to their own electorates, to categorically reject once again the voice of a sovereign people raised against the antidemocratic draft of the European constitution, or as they now prefer to call it, the Lisbon Treaty.
In Ireland sooner or later, and probably sooner, in a move and using tactics reminiscent of anti-democrats everywhere, there will be a second referendum designed to produce the only result acceptable to Brussels.
Their pre-referendum lying has already begun.
A second referendum for which there is no mandate in Ireland, is not democracy it in fact mocks democracy. (Perhaps we should have a new word for this Brussels phenomenon; it is "re-mockracy" in the making). We are here today from Lyon, Paris, Marseille, La Vendée and from our villages, cities and towns across France and indeed this Union of ours, I say our union, not theirs, not of the unelected, unaccountable elites but OUR European Union, the peoples, the hundreds of millions of individuals that are Europe.
This Union is OURS!
And we the people must be empowered to decide the future of Europe and our role as individuals within it.
To be empowered as an individual, one must have a voice, to have a voice one must have a vote, it is our fundamental right as Europeans to individually, NOT just collectively, but individually to choose our futures and our leaders. As I pointed out to President Sarkozy a few weeks ago : "le Traité de Lisbonne est mort". According to its own rules, the European Union cannot now ratify this rehashed Constitution.
This, a Constitution already rejected at the ballot box by your own countrymen and women and those of the Netherlands just three short years ago.
And what has changed in those three short years, what ?
The unelected, unaccountable European elites willfully ignored the democratic will of the peoples of France and the Netherlands and now they are doing the same to Ireland. Those elites conspired to change only those elements of the Constitution which would again trigger referendums in member states.
Those elites decided that they know what's best for all of us and that we do not need to be consulted any further.And now, in Ireland, the quiet men of Brussels seek to crush the final free voice of a people who were the only citizens of Europe to have their voices heard, and most heartbreakingly they conspire and connive with the mediocre so called leaders of those people. To have those leaders betray their own people. Is this really how Brussels proposes to redress the democratic deficit at the heart of the European project?
Is this really how we Europeans will build a strong, sustainable and successful future for the European Union? Is this really how we can turn the most successful peace project of modern times into the most successful economic, democratic and social achievement of the 21st century and beyond?
Is it ?
Exactly how stupid do they think we the people of Europe are?
Why do they fear the almost half a billion citizens of Europe so much? Why do they so despise the people?
Why are they not as proud of those citizens as those citizens are proud of being European?
I am so very proud of the people of Ireland for stopping the Lisbon Treaty in its tracks and for giving our fellow Europeans this opportunity to really think about where we need Europe to go, how we should embrace the future. It is clear that in order to succeed; the European Union must be built from the sovereign citizen up; not from the elite down.
If Europe is to have a new Constitution / Treaty, call it what you will, it must have the legitimacy of the support of its citizens. If it is to gain that legitimacy the citizens of Europe, all of them, must have their say. Such a Constitution / Treaty needs to be upfront and honest in what it seeks to achieve. I accept it must be ambitious, it must be Just…… it must be readable, it must speak to European hearts by showing that it regards and respects them as individuals in whatever communities, cultures, nations, or identities that they hold dear. It must provide for democracy, accountability and transparency at the heart of European governance.
Rule one of a new Fundamental Treaty/Constitution, might be that if it is more than twenty five pages, then the answer is no. Such a Treaty must then be put to the vote in referenda; right across Europe and the people will grant or withhold their approval. Their wishes will be final because it is from the people that all political power and legitimacy devolves. It is an important part of the very essence of our freedom.
If the people say no it's back to the drawing board, Brussels doesn't get to keep asking the same stupid question. Here we are in France, a nation whose very name derives from the meaning of freedom, of liberty. France, the eldest daughter of Europe, this great corner of the earth, through the ages. From Gaul, Brittany, Burgundy, Vendee and Normandy, the Gauls, the Franks – the French people – have always lived and breathed that spirit of liberty, of justice and of courage in the face of adversity.
France is Europe's beating heart.
And France can be the keystone to building Europe's future.It is here that Europe's future must be decided and guaranteed for its citizens, for our future generations and for the survival of our civilisation.It has been France's role through the ages, to rise to the great challenges that faced Europe.
In 1940, a great Frenchman stood alone on a foreign soil and said No to enemies of Liberty. With his great victory, Charles de Gaulle, that noble son of France helped secure the hopes of Western Civilisation and kept a candle burning for those principles which were to underpin European culture for future generations. Principles rooted in our ancient foundations in Greek democracy, the Roman Republic and Judeo-Christian values.
The precious dignity of the individual, the rule of law, the value of hard work and sacrifice, the rejection of slavery of the body and of the mind. And, most importantly of all, the value and power of love and respect for one's fellow man.
One of many places we can look to see that respect being represented is in the democratic process, where the people are engaged in the decision making process in the most fundamental way. It is that they, the people, who are sovereign and all political power derives from them as individuals, delegated to elected representatives through the ballot box. Democracy, it's a good idea the French people, in their wisdom, figured that out quite some time ago.
Other parts of the world can rightfully congratulate themselves on their recent preparedness to promote women into positions of power.In France a young woman from Orléans donned her armour for truth, justice, faith and France almost 600 years ago.
The truth is that France is a place where good ideas have existed and been championed for a long, long time.
Like Joan of Arc, like Charles de Gaulle, I believe that for France, and for Europe, our best days still lie ahead of us.Among those many good French ideas was the French people's courage and foresight in saying No to the European Constitution.
What the unaccountable elite in Brussels has failed to understand as they try to define Europe through ever-growing piles of directives, treaties, rules and regulations is that Treaties are only written on paper.They are not written on the hearts of men and women. That Europe, in the current Brussels variant, has failed to speak to the hearts of Europeans is clear to us all.
But the fact that this failure, if continued is highly likely to result in the overall failure of the European project needs to be shouted from the mountaintops across Europe.
The good news is that it can be saved.It can be saved by opening the windows and letting the light of democracy, transparency and accountability shine into every dark corner of the Brussels establishment. That's the kind of Europe Schuman and Monnet would have wanted. Indeed that champion of the European Union and great Frenchman, Jean Monnet, pointed out that:
"People only accept change when they are faced with necessity, and only recognise necessity when a crisis is upon them"
With the current Brussels Elite's denial of democracy their self imposed illegitimacy, their impotence in the face of outside threats, their contempt for the voice of the sovereign individual, the looming possibility of an economic crisis not seen for over half a century. And worst of all our failure as a civilization to make the most important investment and manifestation of all hope, having enough children, we are now reaching that crisis and change is not only necessary but inevitable.
It is inevitable because we must and will rise to these challenges, we can no longer ignore them, they will not be fixed by someone else, they must be grappled with and overcome by this generation, here and now.
In June of next year at the European Parliament elections, the people of France will have their say on the Lisbon Treaty – you have already said No, its time to say No again to the same anti-democratic formula and to demand an accountable, democratic Europe.
Next years European elections can be the referendum that the people of Europe have been denied – there can be a clear choice, candidates that support and will not stop the antidemocratic Lisbon Treaty – and those that will, doing so from a positive pro European perspective championing democratic accountability at the heart of the union. Let France lead again, say No to anti-democracy – Join with us in helping to place France at the heart of the challenge to return Europe to those to whom it really belongs : it's almost half a billion citizens and their aspirations for their children, grandchildren and our future generations.
Let us step forward together, with courage and confidence and say Good Morning Europe, that this new century belongs to us, to the people of Europe, that once again we have what it takes to lead the world. Let's invite the world to watch and witness a new European Renaissance, in economy, in industry, in learning, in championing the value of the individual and the liberty of mankind.
Let us take up the mantle here in France and recognize that it falls to all and every single one of us, to this generation, to wake Europe from our slumber and say as Churchill said for European democracy when its flame was almost extinguished "We will not go quietly into the night".
For this is France and we are the people of Europe, we know where we came from we can and will define a new vision, let us fulfill that destiny, rise to the challenge, say no to the antidemocratic Brussels of the Lisbon Treaty and Yes to a democratic, transparent and accountable Europe that can lead the world to a place worth going to.
Non à la faillite démocratique du traité de Lisbonne, Oui à une Europe des démocraties, transparente, et responsableUne Europe qui illumine et étonne le monde…
Vive l'Irlande
Vive l'Europe
I SUGGEST – since there is clearly no political party of repute, advocating or campaigning for withdrawal of these United Kingdoms from the EU and restoration of our independent sovereign, democracy, with Justice & the right to self determination in a free country:

Determinants of Employment Externalization: A Study of Temporary Workers and Independent Contractors
By Davis-Blake, Alison; Uzzi, Brian
Abraham, Katharine G.
1988 "Flexible staffing arrangements and employers' short-term adjustment strategies." In Robert A. Hart (ed.), Employment, Unemployment, and Labour Utilization: 288-311. London: Unwin Hyman.
Abraham, Katharine G., and Susan K. Taylor
1990 "Firms' use of outside contractors: Theory and evidence." During the past decade, organizations' use of external workers, such as temporary workers, leased workers, and independent contractors has increased tremendously. Belous (1989) reported that one quarter of all U.S. workers in 1988 were nonpermanent or part-time employees. The kind of work performed by external workers has also changed. Applebaum (1987) noted that the majority of externalized workers no longer perform unskilled clerical tasks; many are professionals, such as nurses or accountants. As the externalized workforce becomes more numerous and diverse, it is important to explore why firms employ these types of workers.
Studying the externalization of the workforce is also important because an organization's employment practices affect both individual attainment and the distribution of rewards in organizations. Temporary jobs typically lack the job security, fringe benefits, and possibilities for advancement that are available to incumbents of permanent jobs (Mangum, Mayall, and Nelson, 1985; Applebaum, 1987). Extensive reliance on temporary workers may create two classes of employees: permanent workers with relatively secure, high-paying employment and temporary workers who have only sporadic, low-paying work. Barnett and Miner's (1992) analysis of promotion patterns at a utility company demonstrated that hiring temporary workers increased mobility rates for the firm's core, permanent workers. Thus, externalization may actually increase inequality in the distribution of rewards, which can have many important consequences, including lowered productivity and increased conflict inside organizations (Dickens, Wholey, and Robinson, 1987; Harrison and Bluestone, 1990; Pfeffer and Davis-Blake, 1992) and increased conflict in society (Blau and Schwartz, 1984; Osterman, 1988). Because incumbents of temporary jobs are often members of groups that have little power in organizations (i.e., women, nonwhites, the very young), firms may experience little pressure to change the inequalities generated by externalization.
To date, empirical research on the use of external workers has been primarily descriptive (see Pfeffer and Baron, 1988, for a review), reporting statistics on the demographic characteristics of external workers (Howe, 1986; Cohen and Haberfeld, 1993), the kinds of jobs staffed by external workers (Sugarman, 1978; Mangum, Mayall, and Nelson, 1985; Howe, 1986), or the industries and regions in which they are employed (Gordon and Thal-Larsen, 1969; Mayall and Nelson, 1982; Mangum, Mayall, and Nelson, 1985). Other studies have gone beyond descriptive statistics in explaining the use of external workers, but several of these studies have significant limitations.
A few studies have attempted to predict the use of temporary workers. Using a survey of 882 firms, Mangum, Mayall, and Nelson (1985) found that use of three types of temporary workers (workers from temporary-help service agencies, limited duration hires, and call-ins) was affected by firm size, growth or decline in firm employment levels, firm benefit levels, industry, and the occupations in which the workers were employed. Their analyses focused on bivariate relationships between particular independent variables and the use of temporary workers, however, and it is not clear whether these relationships would hold in a more complex multivariate model. Using a survey of over 400 employers, Abraham (1988) found that use of temporary workers was affected by the level of unionization among the firm's nonexempt workforce and by the amount of variation in demand for the firm's products. Barry and Crant (1990), using a survey of 153 growing firms, found that use of temporary workers was affected by the proportion of female workers in the firm, the difficulty of recruiting employees, and a variety of human resource practices, such as flexible hours and promotion practices for supervisory personnel. …

Whately Selectboard approves agreement for indoor pot cultivation site
WHATELY — After 86 years in town, a longtime family business is getting ready to close up shop for good.
But until that day — which owner John LaSalle doesn't expect to happen for another year and a half, as the prospective buyers seek the necessary state and town approval and licenses — the doors of LaSalle Florists will remain open.
John LaSalle, the grandson of James LaSalle who founded the business in 1934, explained that the group Whately RE Holdings, a newly formed entity, is currently under contract to purchase the two parcels of land at 23 LaSalle Drive. On the larger of the two lots — which constitutes about 12 acres of farmland and greenhouses — the entity is proposing an indoor marijuana cultivation site.
"I'm going to be 70 years old by the time this is sold," LaSalle said. "I'm ready to retire. We're flower growers as well as a retail flower shop. We're kind of a dinosaur in the industry in that we're one of the last one's that's a year-round flower grower in the area."
Between the economy and the changing way in which people buy things, he said it has become more difficult to make a living in growing and selling flowers.
"It's gotten to be more than I can handle. It's not profitable enough to hire enough people to do the work," LaSalle said. "Labor costs just keep going up and up and up, and there's the cost of transportation."
LaSalle said he had the farm listed on a small farms website for about two years before Whately RE Holdings approached him last March. Up until that point, the cost of repair and upkeep was too much for most interested buyers, he said.
The group's operation — which still needs approval from the Planning Board, Zoning Board of Appeals and state Cannabis Control Commission — would begin as a Tier 1 5,000-square-foot marijuana grow facility that would be "progressively scaled up as needed," Chris Cimini, a member of the company, previously explained.
Recently, the Selectboard approved a host community agreement, which allows for up to 100,000 square feet of canopy, the largest amount permitted in Massachusetts (Tier 11).
"The greenhouses need a lot of repair and maintenance, which these people have the ability to do," LaSalle said. "There's enough money to be made in growing marijuana that they'll put the money into the place. … So this 86-year-old greenhouse is going to be put back to good use, whereas now it's hard for me to heat it to grow my crops."
The second, smaller parcel of land, which includes LaSalle's current residence, will be purchased by one of the partners in Whately RE Holdings and remain as a residence, he said. LaSalle added that the front field on the corner of Claverack Road will continue to be used as a garden for flowers and vegetables to "enhance the neighborhood."
"I'm not a proponent of marijuana myself, but it's a legal crop and they've got the ability to do the job," LaSalle said. "It's going to be a lot of work for them, but the profit is there for them, from what I understand."
Although the shop's closure is still likely more than a year away, LaSalle said the end of this chapter of his life is "bittersweet."
"I've spent most of my adult life here, working," he said, explaining that he began working at LaSalle Florists with his father after graduating from college in the 1970s. "We've got so many good customers and friends that we worked with over the years; it's going to be different, certainly. It's sad we can't keep it going, but it's just the way it is."
The flower shop is currently open Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The RoseGallery at Bergamot Station is currently showing the work of actress Jessica Lange. The exhibition consists of a selection of 28 photographs taken by Lange and focuses on the artist's images taken over the past 16 years during her travels in the U.S., Romania, Mexico, Scandinavia, and many other locations.
The exhibition is being presented in collaboration with the Howard Greenberg Gallery, NY and the Motion Picture & Television Fund.
In 2008, Powerhouse books released her first monograph, "50 Photographs by Jessica Lange" with an introduction by Patti Smith. Still upholding a rich, fulfilling and ongoing acting and stage career the actress has indeed found a way to give her audiences an alternative art form in which to explore her vision. All of the images included in the RoseGallery exhibition are from this book.
Jessica Lange was awarded the George Eastman House Honors. The award is given to an artist whose life work embodies the traditions and values championed by George Eastman House International Museum of Photography & Film. Lange is the first recipient of this newly established award.

6. 1 Dr. Rock ('Textile Fabrics,' p. 33) calls attention to the frequent mention in church inventories of diapered silks for vestments, the most elaborate specimen of diaper-weaving on record being probably that which Edmund, Earl of Cornwall, gave to S.

Donington Festival
Having spent last year shaking down my new Jaguar XK140, I thought I would change tack on a number of fronts, by changing clubs, changing the configuration of the car and inviting a new co-driver to race with me in the Motor Racing Legends, Woodcote Trophy starting with the new Donington Festival.
I arrived at the circuit on Friday afternoon and proceeded to set up the new 'Rig' for 2011. With the new Dastle Race Box, new MWS livery, with attached awning for rest and entertainment and the race car marquee with its newly adorned Banner Advertisement fitted, it was well received by many MWS Customers and hopefully MWS customers-to-be during the weekend.
My new co-driver Melvin Floyd, co-director at CKL Developments arrived towing a 1930's Bentley on its way to Scotland, as can be seen in the background of some of the pictures.
Luckily, scrutineering was being conducted on Friday so that we wouldn't have to worry about that hurdle early Saturday morning. She past with flying colours, thank goodness. As those of you who know me, this, for me is the most nerve-wracking part of any race meeting. The race for me is a doddle (HA HA!!).
The second most important factor is the weather and, apart from it being a little windy, we had sunny and dry conditions, which were ideal for Mel to get used to the XK.
It was also good for me, as this was the first time I have raced the car with Drum Brakes all round and using Dunlop CR48 racing cross-ply tyres.
Quali commenced at 10:10 am for 30 minutes. I went out first (As it's my car of course, Uh huh!!) to get to know the new car configuration and I slipped in a lap time of 1 min 37.5 secs, which was satisfactory for the first race of the season. Slipping was the name of the game. I had forgotten that these tyres are far more 'Slippy' than the Vredestein radials I had raced with over the last six years.
Mel got into the swing of it as well and set some good lap times. But we wondered whether the brakes would last for the 30 minutes of qualifying and the subsequent one hour race. It was fingers crossed??
We qualified 25th out of 32 cars and 6th in Class. This new 'Class System' is all new to me so it was, and will be quite a learning curve to see who we can beat during the season.
Luckily the race started at 16:40 hours and the ambient temperature had dropped to approximately 17°C and more than a little windy, but dry.
It appears that we will be using 'Rolling Starts' this year. This is much less stressful on the car compared to standing starts. I started the race for my 30 minute stint and soon realised that the track was very slippery, from a combination of the older cars dropping a lot of oil on top of rubber having being laid down from the newer Class 'C' cars such as the Jaguar XJR9s on very wide 'Slick' tyres.
It was quite a learning curve, I can tell you. But after a while I was finding my lines by making them tighter through Old Hall and Coppice especially, and taking a much wider line through Redgate and keeping my foot down for the Craner Curves to prevent the rear coming round on me.
The drum brakes were holding well for my 30 minutes but I did wonder whether Mel would inherit these similar characteristics???
After 30 minutes I came into the Pits and only just remembered the Pit Lane Speed Limit of 40 mph and jammed on the anchors in time.
I jumped / fell out, grabbed my cushions to accommodate Mel's longer legs and I strapped him in, briefed him on the circuit conditions, the brakes etc and off he went!
All I knew at this point was that he was going round, as there is no ship-to-shore radio as in F1.
After the race, he said that all was fine, however the brake pedal was getting a little longer towards the end of the race. We will only know the facts when my Engineer Keith and I take the brake drums off for inspection.
But Mel enjoyed himself and I thought that we made a 'Good Racing Couple', to date??!! Only time will tell, (Joke Mel!!)
We finished 20th out of 32 cars and 4th in Class. So this was a marked improvement over our qualifying position, and an excellent first race of the season.
My best lap time was only one second off last year's time driving with 2 X Disk brakes on the front and with the more grippy Vredestein tyres. Great stuff!! Here's to the next race!!!
The next race of the season will be held at:
Dijon–Prenois in France, at the GP de l'Age d'Or on the weekend of the 25th and 26th June
Will we see you there? I hope so!!
