Joseph Monier was a professional gardener (jardiner-paysagist) from the small village of potters, St Quentin-de-Potiers, just beside the town of Uzès. At the age of 17 (1840) he was hired by the Duke of Uzès to work in the gardens of the Duke's mansion in Paris. In 1846 he took a job the the famous Tuileries Gardes of Paris where he was responsible for the orangery. Here he began his work with concrete that would result in the invention of reinforced cement.
St Quentin-la-Potèrie is a village of potters, and in an agricultural area of fruit, vegetables and vineyards. [We live nearby and do our weekly market shopping here - ProvenceBeyond.] Young Joseph grew up here, one of 10 siblings, in a family of horticulturists working for the Duke of Uzès. Being the early 19th century, he spent his childhood in the fields, but taught himself to read and write. He became skilled enough at gardening that, at the age of 17, the Duke hired him to work at his mansion in Paris.
By the age of 23, in 1846, Joseph Monier was hired to work at the famous Tuileries Gardens in Paris, where he was responsible for the orangery. Orange trees were grown in large pots, as they had to be moved between the summertime open air and the wintertime greenhouses. Because of the fragility of large pots being moved about with heavy contents, Monier began experimenting with reinforcing the pots.
At that time, cement pots were used because they were lighter than clay, but they were just as ridged and prone to cracking. Monier began experimenting with using light-weight cement for the pots and reinforcing them with a grid of slender iron rods. The conventional wisdom of the 19th century held that the temperature-flexing iron would crack the ridged clay. It took Monier several years, but he proved that his methods worked.
Monier himself expanded his reinforced concrete pots from horticultural use to ferro-cement containers for collecting and storing garden water, as well as producing more decorative garden structures, such as pavilions, rockeries and grottos designed to look like natural rock. This style of "false wood" (faux bois) became very popular around the end of the 19th century. One feature of this style is a type of railing that's intended to look like wooden sticks and branches.
By 1873 Monier expanded his inventions, and his patents, to cover the construction of bridges, staircases and even railway sleepers with his reinforced cement.
In 1886 the German entineer Gustav Adolf Wayss saw the possibilities of Monier's reinforced concrete in building construction. After buying Monier's patent, Gustav Wayss established his own firm, Wayss & Freytag, and developed ferro-cement in the construction industry.

Benson, Richard V.
Richard V. Benson
Preferred Name: Dick
Highest Military Grade Held: Select
Richard V. Benson went to pilot training after attending the University of Northeast Boston earning a BA in Business. At the age of 21, he joined the Air Force as an aviation cadet and was commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant in September of 1953. After gunnery training at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada, in the North American AT-6, T-28, and the Lockheed T-33. His first operational assignment was flying F-86F's and he was assigned to what was known as K55 in Korea. (It's now Osan Air Base).
While in Korea he trained and deployed to Japan (Okinawa and Formosa, now Taiwan) during depot maintenance of the F-86. When he got to his Fighter Day Wing at George AFB in California, the unit was flying the F-100A. He traveled to the North American Palmdale Facility to pick up brand spanking new F-100 A's his unit. His impression of the F-100A was that pilots experienced a lot of compression stalls and stability problems with the short tail. He called it an extremely "hot" airplane but luckily had no personal issues with the craft.
Dick remembers his first flight in the F-100 as lining up next to the flight lead, stroking the afterburner, hearing a loud explosion, and very rapidly accelerating. His training was uneventful except for those compression stalls on almost all phases of flight. He was aware of the small tail of the aircraft which made it unusually dangerous to land and operate at high angles of attack. Later he flew the F-100C model with the larger tail and improved engine design which had eliminated the compressor stalls.
He'll tell you that the "A" model was subject to PIO's (Pilot Induced Oscillations) which were sustained or uncontrollable oscillations resulting from efforts of the pilot to control the aircraft and made the plane appear to be "porpoising" while switching between upward and downward directions.
After his time with the F-100 at George was up, he left the Air Force as a newly married man and got a job with an electric utility company in New Hampshire where he stayed for 34 years. He retired in 1993.
Dick hasn't flown since he left the Air Force but his local Rotary Club gifted him a flight in a P-51 from the Collins Foundation. He recalls it was very loud and heavy-handling airplane and it terrified him.

Alberta and B.C. bring the leaders back to the pack at wheelchair curling nationals
The leaderboard at the Canadian Wheelchair Curling Championship in Ottawa took a hit today, as Alberta defeated second-place Northern Ontario and B.C. dealt Quebec its first loss of the round robin.

Quebec's Benoît Lessard and his team from the Magog Curling Club came into Draw 7 with a 6-0 record and were starting to look unbeatable, but they just couldn't keep up with British Columbia's Gary Cormack, a two-time Canadian champion, who got out to a quick start and never looked back.
B.C. scored scored a single in the first, then stole three points before Quebec was able to get on the scoreboard with a deuce in the fourth. Cormack scored singles in the next three ends for the 7-2 victory.
Alberta continued its climb up the standings by defeating Northern Ontario 8-6. Bruno Yizek and his team from the Calgary Curling Club scored three in the fourth end to take a 5-3 lead. Northern Ontario's Gino Sonego, from the Fort William Curling Club in Thunder Bay, couldn't catch up, and Alberta's single in the eighth end was enough for the 8-6 win.
With the loss, Northern Ontario now shares second place in the standings with Alberta and British Columbia – all with 5-2 records – while Quebec retains first spot with a 6-1 record.
In other Draw 7 action, Ontario's Ken Gregory (3-4) defeated Nova Scotia's Trendal Hubley-Bolivar (1-6) in a close game that had the spectators on the edge of their seats. Down by four with the last rock, Nova Scotia had a chance to score five to tie the game and send it into an extra end. But Hubley-Bolivar's last throw was light and Ontario stole one to win 9-4.
New Brunswick's Michael Fitzgerald (2-5) and his team from the Thistle-St. Andrew's Curling Club gave Newfoundland and Labrador's Joanne MacDonald (3-4) and her team from the RE/MAX Centre in St. John's all they could handle. Although MacDonald started by stealing a double and a single in the first two ends, New Brunswick scored three in the third end, then stole a single for a 4-3 lead going into the break. Fitzgerald went on to win 9-5.
Saskatchewan's Darwin Bender (3-4) started strong against Manitoba's Chris Sobkowicz (2-5), stealing pairs in the first two ends without the hammer. Bender and his team from the Callie Curling Club in Regina kept the pressure on for the 7-3 win.
Draw 8 gets underway at the RA Centre in Ottawa on Thursday at 5 p.m. EDT.
Teams at the Canadian Wheelchair Curling Championship will compete in a round robin from March 25-29, leading to the Page playoffs on Saturday, March 30. The semifinal will be played at 10 a.m. EDT and the final at 3 p.m. EDT on Sunday, March 31.

The cover story in this month's Popular Science is entitled "After Earth". In it they speculate, as only PopSci can, about how more people will live off earth than on it in the near future. Maybe.
I confess that I still love the magazine and not for its future accuracy but rather for the American style of inspiration it provides to so many, especially young people. That alone is worth the cover price.
Turns out that there is another point of view for how we colonize space and I have not seen it published before (but that does not mean it hasn't).
And this will make the living and the very long trips manageable. Ray Kurzweil has speculated (1), (2), (3) and there is growing belief that we are tracking to some parts of this unusual but happening in our lifetime prediction.
If this is right, then space travel will be made somewhat easier because we will be able to send intelligent sentient beings with our space probes. And if we send one "person" I suspect we will send several. Why? Because even with the "porting" of humanity from carbon to silicon substrates, I believe the beings will remain and want to remain social with others. It is defining for us all.
So for now, read the PopSci article but as you do think about what the humans that travel on that journey really might look like!
Hopefully they will look like Amelia Earhart or Neil Armstrong unless Science removes all of the randomness of genetic inheritance. Unless Robots can be designed to be creative or inspirational, I hope humans can still make the journey. As Robots become more Human, are Humans becoming more Robotic?

Machinists Union Asks Navy to Clarify Position on Bath Iron Works Subcontracting
WASHINGTON, July 21, 2020 – As a strike of 4,300 IAM Local S6 members in Bath, Maine enters the fifth week, the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) is asking the U.S. Navy to shed some light on Bath Iron Works' claims that the Navy has requested additional subcontracting at the shipyard.
Throughout negotiations with IAM Local S6, Bath Iron Works, a subsidiary of General Dynamics, has on numerous occasions said that the Navy has endorsed additional subcontracting at Bath Iron Works.
The IAM has countered with proposals to shorten the joint union-company review period for subcontracting and for Local S6 members to work more overtime to meet the Navy's schedule. BIW management has instead remained insistent that the company has a blank check to subcontract work at the shipyard to out-of-state workers.
"It is unclear to the union whether these statements made by representatives of BIW accurately reflect the Navy's position regarding the increased use of subcontracting and removal of the union's valuable input form the outsourcing decision-making process," wrote IAM Local S6 President Chris Wiers in a July 17 letter to Navy Secretary Kenneth Braithwaite. "We strongly believe the changes in subcontracting language which the company is pushing for will be detrimental to the skilled workforce at BIW and the Navy's shipbuilding mission."
The IAM cites numerous implicit and explicit communications between the company and the negotiating committee in which BIW claims the Navy is pushing for additional subcontracting. BIW also claimed the Navy supported more subcontracting at the shipyard in a June 11 letter to U.S. Reps. Jared Golden and Chellie Pingree.
"As a U.S. Navy veteran, I could not be more proud of our Local S6 membership for the work they do to support our servicemen and women," said IAM International President Robert Martinez Jr. "This company should be listening to its employees about how to solve problems at the shipyard, not trying to outsource their jobs during the middle of a pandemic."
BIW has attempted to break the strike by calling in temporary workers to build U.S. Navy ships and ended health insurance for 4,300 IAM Local S6 families.
The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) is among the largest industrial trade unions in North America and represents nearly 600,000 active and retired members in the manufacturing, aerospace, defense, airlines, transportation, shipbuilding, woodworking, health care, and other industries.

28 November 2017, London UK: 4D Data Centres, the independently owned UK data centre operator and cloud provider, has just completed a £500k expansion of its Gatwick Data Centre in response to higher than expected demand from businesses across the South East.
Jack Bedell-Pearce, Managing Director at 4D Data Centres, said: "When we opened 4D Gatwick earlier this year, we wanted to replicate our reputation for being one of the best data centres in Surrey to the Sussex, Kent and South-East London area. Due to a hugely positive response from the local business community, we've been forced to bring forward our expansion plans for the site and invest £500,000 in building out additional rackspace to keep up with demand.
The expansion follows strong growth for 4D Data Centres, which has increased its workforce by 20 per cent in the last six months, employing new members of the team from the local area. Since opening in March 2017, the 4D Gatwick facility sold all of its 'Phase 1' rackspace capacity.
With current pipeline business looking strong, the 'Phase 2' expansion, which will see a third of the overall capacity being used, will take place within the next 12 months. Businesses of all sizes have trusted the site with their critical IT infrastructure, ranging from financial institutions through to logistics and service providers. The additional security a data centre provides over traditional in-house comms rooms is of particular interest to companies concerned over the introduction of GDPR (the European General Data Protection Regulation) that comes into force in 2018.
What does GDPR mean for data sovereignty and British businesses?

Schubert Ensemble at Wigmore Hall – 2 [Schubert, Enescu & Dvořák]
Notturno in E flat, D897
Enescu
Piano Quartet No.2 in D minor, Op.30
Piano Quartet No.2 in E flat, Op.87
Schubert Ensemble [Simon Blendis (violin), Douglas Paterson (viola), Jane Salmon (cello) & William Howard (piano)]
Reviewed by: Richard Whitehouse
Reviewed: 7 February, 2011
Venue: Wigmore Hall, London
The Schubert Ensemble here continued its recitals centred on the chamber music of Enescu (the first having featured a rare outing for the First Piano Quartet) with a further programme that opened with Schubert and closed with Dvořák. Long thought to be a rejected slow movement for the B flat Piano Trio, Schubert's Notturno (1827) may well be an autonomous piece – there being nothing tentative about either the strongly characterised episodes that interpose between statements of its limpid main theme, or piano-writing of an elaboration rare in Schubert's chamber music at any stage.
Admirably rendered, it provided a viable entrée into Enescu's Second Piano Quartet (1944), one of a handful of late chamber works such as distils his mature idiom down to something like its essentials. A work in which, as Simon Blendis rightly noted in his introductory remarks, the individual movements are but stages in a cumulative journey that needs to be appreciated whole for its intrinsic qualities to come through. Thus the opening Allegro – the emphasis firmly on its 'moderato' marking – is a highly inward sonata-movement whose ideas are not so much developed then reprised as unfolded on the way to an impassioned coda, while the central Andante expands on these themes in as raptly expressive a span as the composer ever conceived. Despite a further 'moderato' marking, the finale generates an often-heady momentum which brings with it an intensive process of development prior to the fervent apotheosis and an inimitably expansive coda. If this performance seemed a little under-powered in its initial stages, it soon gained in purpose – the players doing justice to its ecstatic lyricism as much as to its suffused rhetoric. The group's disc of Enescu's Piano Quartets on Chandos should be worth anticipating.
The evening closed with a further Second Piano Quartet – that which Dvořák wrote in 1889 as a long-delayed follow-up in a medium that had been latterly dominated by Brahms. It's interesting, then, that the work pivots between the formal solidity of his chamber pieces from over the preceding decade and the often-capricious expression of those that followed. Certainly the first movement is as impulsive and as wide-ranging as any in his output, while the Lento combines repose and restiveness with Schubertian poise. What follows merges elements of waltz and polka with typical finesse; and then the finale is launched with a decisiveness that holds well through various tonal excursions prior to the affirmative close. Missing is a melodic immediacy and an expressive panache – without which, the piece remains a fine rather than defining instance of Dvořák's chamber output – yet its musical appeal is undoubted.
Nor was there much to criticise in this sensitive and uncommonly attuned performance – a meeting of equals such as late-nineteenth-century chamber music too rarely is. It set the seal on a worthwhile evening, and one which should find its culmination in all respects with the final recital of this series – on March 28 and including Enescu's Piano Quintet.

Le Bon Genre No. 11 "Le Volant" Hand Color Fashion Print Framed 16"x19"
"Le Volant" Le Bon Genre Print No.11 Engraving
Framed and matted dimensions: 16"x19" Image dimensions: 8 1/2"x11 1/2"
Le Bon Genre was one of the earliest series of prints to record the social trends and leisure activities of contemporary Parisians. It is the most important fashion portfolio of its time documenting, through its caricatures, the rise of modern Paris and the emerging middle-class bourgeois, its fashions, recreations and dating customs. It also has fun at visitors' expense, particularly the English, whose customs and fashions the French found incomprehensible and unfashionable; the years of hostility between France and England did nothing to improve relations and the French lost few opportunities to ridicule the British. Le Bon Genre's popularity influenced most of the later fashion illustrators and journals, as well as the satirical albums typical of France, 1830-1860, and it remains an important record of French social history. It is, indeed, the key illustrated social history of Parisian life of its time, bearing witness to the colorful post-Revolution period of Parisian society as it evolved into the early Republican era.

For this example, we will compute the all-in equity for a three-way hold'em race before the flop. All-in equity is a measure of what percentage of the pot a hand expects to win on average assuming no more betting.
Because the results are random, you will get slightly different numbers every time you run the simulation.
Exhaustive simulations compute every possible combination of hands and board cards. Exhaustive simulations yield exact answers, and are thus preferable to randomized simulations where practical. If we want exhaustive results, we can pull down the menu next to the equity question and select "exhaustive". (The default setting of "auto" will compute exhaustive results when it won't take very long, and will compute randomized results otherwise).


1999 Landrover Discovery Series 2. Great condition for its age with low kms. Has recently had the Fuel pump replaced as well as the tailshaft uni joints at which were a common fail in this model these cost around 2k. Engine and gearbox are sound and it doesnt burn oil. The interior is in overall good condition Price is negoitiable within reason, low ball texts will be ignored and dont worry about making me an offer until you have viewed the vehicle.


everyone knows how much i love my coffee. i might even go as far as to say i need my coffee every morning. it's been part of my morning for many years, and i love it. i do. but if i'm being completely honest here, and i am always, coffee doesn't help me start my day strong. i don't exactly feel like it's contributing to my well-being in any way. don't tell coffee but...i don't drink it for it's health benefits.
Fruit of the Spirit is how i start my day strong. one serving of the all-natural fruity liquid gold in the morning, and i know i'm doing something good for my body. Fruit of the Spirit is a highly concentrated blend of 16 super-fruits native to the Mediterranean region, anti-inflammatory-assisting herbs, cleansing minerals from the Dead Sea, and a concentrated amount of Resveratrol, a natural compound with tons of health benefits. it is delicious. it tastes like grape/berry fruit juice. not too sweet, not sour, just YUM. like popping a handful of purple grapes, blueberries, and blackberries in your mouth. just one ounce a day provides the equivalent of five servings of fruits and vegetables, and the antioxidants, natural energy, and healing nutrients that come with it.
did you see that? Frankincense and Myrrh! Fruit of the Spirit is an all-natural nutritious supplement that contains ingredients from God's creation. the benefits are exactly what God designed for our health: natural energy, reduction of the negative effects of stress, protection against premature aging, decrease in aches and pains, a natural anti-inflammatory, a deeper sleep, improved cardiovascular health, and stronger immune system. the company, founded in 1991, stands by it's Galatians 5:22-23-based mission to "Bless You with Better Health." if God made an energy drink, this would be it. i believe this is how God intended us to feel.
i have been drinking one ounce of Fruit of the Spirit daily for about two weeks now, and first of all, it. is. delicious. more importantly, i love the way it makes me feel. i know i'm starting my day with something that's good for me. unlike coffee, Fruit of the Spirit makes me feel energized, but not caffeinated. i feel healthy. balanced. i give a little to my kids and if they don't eat anything else nutritious the whole day, i feel good knowing they've had their serving of fruits and vegetables.
drinking Fruit of the Spirit reminds me that my body is a temple, and the Bible teaches me to honor the Lord with my body (1 Cor 6:19-22). with every sip of Fruit of the Spirit, i give thanks to God for creating me in His image.

GoCD notifications weren't enough...
====================================

.. raw:: html

* Email the whole team about broken and fixed builds.
* Notify on all pipelines in a group.
* If X is in our group, we also need alerts on X-release-x.y.z in the release group.
* Notified in slack instead?

{{ layout.set(data_rotate=0) }}

Idea...
=======

* Mail all alerts in GoCD to a special address.
* Intercept all mail from GoCD in special proxy.
* Apply special rules on mails to the special address, pass other mail to the "real" mail server.
* This led to writing mail2alert_

Standard library smtpd
======================

This module offers several classes to implement SMTP (email) servers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------

*The aiosmtpd package is a recommended replacement for this module. It is based on asyncio and provides a more straightforward API. smtpd should be considered deprecated.*

Concurrent execution of multiple tasks
======================================

- Preemptive multitasking (OS scheduler)

  - Multiprocessing: Protected but heavy...
  - Multithreading: Faster but hard to debug and still some overhead...

- Cooperative Multitasking (event loop)

  - Callbacks: Code flows backwards? (Example_)
  - Coroutines: ???

.. _Example: https://hackedbellini.org/development/writing-asynchronous-python-code-with-twisted-using-inlinecallbacks/

{{ layout.set() }}

Coroutine benefits compared with...
===================================

Processes
    Much less overhead. Always switch context at optimal time.

Threads
    Less overhead. Easier to debug. Always switch context at optimal time.

Callbacks
    Source code easier to read. Flows like non-concurrent code.

*But it can only utilize one CPU core!*

Event Loops
===========

 * The central execution device

  * Register, execute & cancel delayed calls
  * Create client and server transports
  * Launch subprocesses
  * Delegate costly function calls to threadpools

 * Several implementations

  * SelectorEventLoop - Default, limited to sockets in Windows
  * ProactorEventLoop - Only Windows, IOCP
  * uvloop_ - 3rd party, based on libuv_
  * tokio_ - 3rd party, based on Rust event loop tokio-rs_.

----

{{ layout.set() }}

Event Loop objects
==================

.. code:: python

    loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()

    loop.create_task( coroutine )

    loop.run_until_complete( coroutine or task )

    loop.run_forever()

    loop.call_*( function, *args)

    loop.time()

    loop.stop()

    loop.close()

    ...

----

{{ layout.set() }}

Event Loop Hello World
======================

.. code:: python

    import asyncio

    def hello_world(loop):
        print('Hello World')
        loop.stop()

    loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()

    # Schedule a call to hello_world()
    loop.call_soon(hello_world, loop)

    # Blocking call interrupted by loop.stop()
    loop.run_forever()
    loop.close()

----

{{ layout.set() }}

uvloop
======

.. raw:: html

https://github.com/MagicStack/uvloop

----

{{ layout.set() }}

Transports & Protocols
======================

Borrowed from Twisted

Transports
    E.g. TCP, UDP, Pipes

Protocols
    E.g. HTTP, echo

You're likely to stick to standard transports, but to subclass asyncio.Protocol unless you just use HTTP etc.
There are examples_ in the docs.

.. _examples: https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-protocol.html#protocol-examples

----

{{ layout.set() }}

Futures
=======

* Encapsulates the asynchronous execution of a callable.
* Almost compatible with concurrent.futures.Future.
* Methods: .cancel(), .cancelled(), .set_result(), .result(), .done()

.. code:: python

    import asyncio

    async def slow_operation(future):
        await asyncio.sleep(1)
        future.set_result('Future is done!')

    loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
    future = asyncio.Future()
    asyncio.ensure_future(slow_operation(future))
    loop.run_until_complete(future)
    print(future.result())
    loop.close()

----

{{ layout.set() }}

Tasks
=====

"Subclass of Future. Wrapper around coroutine to schedule it for execution.

A task is responsible for executing a coroutine object in an event loop.

If the wrapped coroutine yields from a future, the task suspends the execution
of the wrapped coroutine and waits for the completion of the future.

When the future is done, the execution of the wrapped coroutine restarts with
the result or the exception of the future."

----

{{ layout.set() }}
{{ layout.children(3, 3, use=[(1, 2)]) }}

Handle
======

class asyncio.Handle
    A callback wrapper object returned by loop.call_soon(), loop.call_soon_threadsafe(), loop.call_later(), and loop.call_at().

cancel()
    Cancel the call. If the callback is already canceled or executed, this method has no effect.

----

{{ layout.set() }}

Event Loop Hello World
======================

.. code:: python

    import asyncio

    def hello_world(loop):
        print('Hello World')
        loop.stop()

    loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()

    # Schedule a call to hello_world()
    handle = loop.call_soon(hello_world, loop)

    # we could...
    handle.cancel()

    # Blocking call interrupted by loop.stop()
    loop.run_forever()
    loop.close()

----

{{ layout.set() }}

Async generators and comprehension
==================================

.. code:: python

    async def ticker(delay, to):
        for i in range(to):
            yield i
            await asyncio.sleep(delay)

    result = [i async for i in aiter() if i % 2]

    result = [await fun() for fun in funcs if await condition()]

----

{{ layout.set() }}

Async for???
============

.. code:: python

    async for i in f():
        ....

VS

.. code:: python

    for i in await f():
        ....

----

{{ layout.set() }}

Synchronization primitives
==========================

Locks
    - Lock
    - Event
    - Condition

Semaphores
    - Semaphore
    - BoundedSemaphore

Very similar to those in the threading module,
but since there is no preemptive scheduling,
they aren't needed so often.

----

{{ layout.set() }}

Threadpool interface
====================

If you can't avoid blocking I/O, you can hand over work to
a concurrent.futures.ThreadPoolExecutor or
a concurrent.futures.ProcessPoolExecutor.

.. code:: python

    loop.run_in_executor(executor, func, *args)

----

{{ layout.set() }}

Asynchronous Context Managers
=============================

A context manager which is able to suspend execution in its enter and exit methods.

.. code:: python

    class AsyncContextManager:
        async def __aenter__(self):
            await log('entering context')

        async def __aexit__(self, exc_type, exc, tb):
            await log('exiting context')

...

.. code:: python

    async def commit(session, data):
        ...

        async with session.transaction():
            ...
            await session.update(data)
            ...

----

{{ layout.set() }}

Don't use blocking I/O!
=======================

* No socket.*
* No select.*
* No subprocess.*
* No os.waitpid
* No threading.*
* No multiprocessing.*
* No time.sleep

*Use async replacements!*

----

{{ layout.set() }}

Split up all long loops!
========================

*Or use the threadpool etc*
---------------------------

----

{{ layout.set() }}

Too confusing?
==============

    *"Man that thing is complex and it keeps getting more complex.
    I do not have the mental capacity to casually work with asyncio."*

         -- Armin Ronacher

http://lucumr.pocoo.org/2016/10/30/i-dont-understand-asyncio/

    Why is he mixing multi-threading with asyncio?

----

{{ layout.set() }}

Callback soup considered harmful
================================

    *Your async/await functions are dumplings of local structure
    floating on top of callback soup, and this has far-reaching
    implications for the simplicity and correctness of your code.*

        -- Nathaniel J. Smith

Minimal knowledge...
====================

* asyncio.get_event_loop()
* loop.create_task()
* loop.run_until_complete()
* loop.run_forever()
* asyncio.gather()
* loop.run_in_executor()
* loop.close()

----

{{ layout.set() }}

asyncio.get_event_loop()
========================

*You know this by now...*

----

{{ layout.set() }}

loop.create_task(coroutine)
===========================

Schedule the execution of a coroutine object.

Wrap it in a task object and return that task.

----

{{ layout.set() }}

loop.run_until_complete(coroutine)
==================================

Pass in a coroutine or a future(task).

----

{{ layout.set() }}

loop.run_forever()
==================

After you created tasks...

----

{{ layout.set() }}

asyncio.gather(coroutines_or_futures, ...)
==========================================

Return a future aggregating results from the given coroutine objects or futures.

.. code:: python

    import asyncio

    async def factorial(name, number):
        f = 1
        for i in range(2, number+1):
            print("Task %s: Compute factorial(%s)..." % (name, i))
            await asyncio.sleep(1)
            f *= i
        print("Task %s: factorial(%s) = %s" % (name, number, f))

    loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()

Home Africa There Will Be Bloodshed if Jonathan Loses in 2015, President's Militant Leader...
There Will Be Bloodshed if Jonathan Loses in 2015, President's Militant Leader Asari-Dokubo Said
Rescued from September 9, 2013, by Bassey Udo
Former militant and leader of the Niger Delta Peoples Volunteer Force (NDPVF), Mujahid Asari-Dokubo, on Sunday declared that President Goodluck Jonathan's presidential ambition in 2015 was already settled, as his Niger Delta compatriots would not succumb to any force opposed to its full actualization.
There would be blood in the streets if Mr. Jonathan is not reelected president in the 2015 election, the militant leader threatened.

Mr. Asari-Dokubo, who was a guest on a Channels Television programme, Politics Today, monitored in Abuja, said he would register as a full member of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to enable him join in the fight to realize the president's re-election bid.
"The way things are going, there is no sitting on the fence in the battle before us," Mr. Asari-Dokubo said. "When some people say they have a right to rule and others don't have, then there is no sitting on the fence. All of us will have to be in the ring and fight. We cannot leave Goodluck (Jonathan) alone.
"My support for Jonathan will be biased, because charity begins at home. Monkey no fine, but im mama like am. Goodluck, na my person. 2015 is already a settled matter. Goodluck Jonathan would be President in 2015.
"Whether they contest or they don't. If they say the blood of the dogs and the baboons will be soaked in the streets, or salt water in the streets, we will help them in blood in the streets."
Insisting there was no crisis in the PDP in the wake of the walkout during the recent National Convention by some aggrieved members, led by former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, and seven governors, Mr. Asari-Dokubo said the exit of seven out of 23 governors elected on PDP ticket was not enough to cause any crisis.
On the role of two former Presidents, Ibrahim Babangida and Olusegun Obasanjo, who are working towards an amicable resolution of the crisis, Asari-Dokubo described the duo, who are also members of the Board of Trustees (BOT) of the PDP, as "agents provocateur", who are fueling the crisis by declaring that they do not want Jonathan to run in the 2015 elections.
He accused Messrs Babangida and Obasanjo of secretly encouraging the Jigawa state governor, Sule Lamido to run for President, with Rivers state governor, Chubuike Amaechi as his deputy, adding that at one recent public function, Mr. Babangida had said that Mr. Amaechi and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Aminu Tambuwal, were good to run for higher offices come 2015.
He described the Rivers state governor as "a traitor to the collective aspirations of the people of Rivers State," saying whatever situation the governor is facing he deserved it, as there was no better way a traitor could be treated by Rivers people.
On the intervention of the National Assembly in the crisis in the Rivers State House of Assembly, the militant leader criticized the decision to take over the legislative functions of the Assembly, saying the lawmaker lacked the moral high ground to have done so, since they were unable to take a similar action when they were embroiled in corruption charges a few years ago.
Mr. Asari-Dokubo, who claimed he was a card-carrying member and major financial of the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) until December 27, 2010, said he would be joining the PDP to enable him join in fighting for President Jonathan's candidacy from the inside.
Ruling out any possibility of running for any office in 2015, he said his focus for now was on getting the Mr. Jonathan's reelection project delivered.
"I will declare for the PDP. We will fight, because in this battle, there is no retreat, no surrender. We will not take any prisoner of war. It will be total battle," he said.

Are you the kind of person who spends all day scrolling through Instagram, living vicariously through all of the amazing travel bloggers online, then you have probably considered starting the kind of career that could see you doing that for yourself at some point. However, amidst all of your wanderlust, I think it is still really important to get the best education you can before moving on to the next stage of life, but who says that you can combine the two? Here are the majors to choose if you want to travel for a living.
Nursing is a skill that you can make use of wherever you happen to go in the world. Travelling to far-flung countries and using your nursing abilities to volunteer at the same time is something that a lot of people are choosing to do these days, and there are plenty of medical professions that give the opportunity to travel and care all over the globe.
It makes sense to major in something with international in the title if you plan to be an international citizen in the future! The great thing is that the majority of international business programs offer lots of opportunities to study abroad for a semester or year, so you can get a taste of travel even before you have finished your degree.
The very same thing goes for international relations. Opportunity for travel is rife within this sector, not to mention the fact that you could be travelling to head to work for an extremely worthy cause. It is the perfect college major for someone who is looking to make a real difference in the world, especially in places outside of their immediate culture.
Here's the thing, studying English can be a solid step to opening up opportunities for travel because once you have those technical skills, you can pretty much fly to any corner of the globe and find a place that wants and needs English as a foreign language teachers. The world literally becomes your oyster!
What's better than travelling around the world and getting paid for the photos that you would be taking whether you had a proper job or not? Of course, you need some level of natural talent to become a great photographer, but it's a super cool major to have if that is your dream, and the extra education and skill will definitely help you to be a more professional international photographer.


During the school morning last Thursday a hand full of children from Years 3, 4 and 5 all took part in a climbing competition at High Adventure in Keighly.
What a brilliant morning it was for the children, some of which have never climbed on a climbing wall before. The effort and determination shown from every child was fantastic and for that I would like to say Well done! Also thank you to Rebecca and Jade for your help during the day.

The Habit of Art stars Matthew Kelly
Olivier award-winning actor Matthew Kelly is leading the cast of Alan Bennett's The Habit of Art, along with David Yelland.
The show was first performed nearly ten years ago at the Nation Theatre, and will embark on a new UK tour this year. Exciting stuff, right?
The play explores a fictional meeting between poet W H Auden and composer Benjamin Britten. Bennett originally wrote it as a play-within-a-play. Actors Fitz, Henry, Tim and Donald are rehearsing a play called Caliban's Day, and in Caliban's Day, a fictitious meeting occurs in 1973 in Auden's (Fitz) rooms at Oxford not long before he dies. Britten (Henry) has been auditioning boys nearby for his opera Death in Venice and arrives unexpectedly – their first meeting in 25 years after falling out over the failure of their opera Paul Bunyan.
It looks to me like it's going to be pretty complex, but I'm sure extremely skilled and exciting. The show is directed by Philip Franks, who's perhaps best known for his TV work such as Bleak House.
And of course this brings us two our leading men… if you don't know Matthew Kelly from Stars in Their Eyes or You Bet, we're going to have to have words. He's also obviously an acclaimed actor, with his West End credits including Waiting For Godot with Ian McKellen and countless TV credits to his name. Tonight, Matthew, I'm going to be starstruck…
David Yelland is perhaps a more traditional actor, with a string of incredible theatre credits such as Witness for the Prosecution and A Winter's Tale. He's also starred in a number of film and television roles.
Catch the show at York Theatre Royal from 30th August to 8th September.

What Me Too Founder Tarana Burke Taught Me About Healing
Me Too founder Tarana Burke speaking at the KU Memorial Union. Photo by Nicole Mitchell
By Nicole Mitchell
On October 23, 2018, I had the great privilege of seeing Me Too creator and activist Tarana Burke give a presentation at KU.
Burke was funny, relatable and, most of all, heartbreaking. That was the mixture of emotions that I felt while listening to everything she had to say, as she recalled her history of activism and how the Me Too movement began.
After graduating from Auburn University, Burke worked as a counselor for middle school girls. She recalled a tragic moment when a young girl described her story of experiencing sexual assault. Burke stopped the girl in the middle of her story and sent her to another counselor. After that, the young girl stopped coming to camp and Burke never saw her again.
Years later, after the many ups and downs of working with middle school girls and hearing all of their experiences with sexual assault at such a young age, Burke came up with the idea to start a new organization: Me Too.
Hearing Tarana Burke talk was more than learning the history of Me Too. It was learning how to listen to and care for others; learning how to feel joy, and it was learning how to heal.
Burke helped me realize that healing from a traumatic event is difficult and it isn't pretty. Healing can be anything from waking up early and doing yoga to crying myself to sleep because that's all I can do. One thing that helps Burke go through difficult experiences is to keep a "Joy Journal," which is exactly what it sounds like. You write down all the things that make you happy, whether it be something small or something large, and it will help you realize that the pain doesn't last forever.
If you are going through the healing process right now, know that you are not alone, and that you will be okay. I hear you and I believe you.

Social Media's Comparison Effect Causes Feelings of Depression
Words and photos by Ashley Hocking
During the 83 days between Thanksgiving and Valentine's Day, I opt not to log on Facebook.
This stretch of time is also known as Engagement Season.
It's nearly impossible for me to scroll through the feeds of my social media accounts during Engagement Season without seeing twentysomethings posting about their significant others popping the question, bridal showers, bachelorette parties and weddings.
Forty percent of engagements occur during Engagement Season, according to the Associated Press.
I'm not the only one who elects to avoid social media at certain times of the year. University of Kansas senior Megan Doolittle decided to avoid social media on Valentine's Day after a recent breakup.
"I'm pretty sure he or his new girlfriend would have posted something, and I would have seen it," Doolittle said. "It's really hard when you're in the midst of a break-up or even just feeling negative about your love life."
5 tips for avoiding social media depression
1. Aim to not judge others based on their social media presence.
2. Try taking a break from social media or reducing your social media usage.
3. Be authentic on social media.
4. Embrace your imperfections. Every photo on your Instagram feed doesn't need to be FaceTuned.
5. If you are feeling depressed, seek counseling or professional help.
Social media is a modern day tool that enables individuals to connect with friends, but also impacts the wellbeing of those using it.
Social media may help us connect with friends, but it also can depress the hell out of us.
Social media depression is the act of comparing yourself with others based on their on social media accounts.
Research by David Baker and Dr. Guillermo Perez Algorta from Lancaster University in Lancashire, England found that there is a significant association between feelings of depression and negatively comparing oneself with others when using Facebook.
Doolittle agrees with the findings of this research.
"Seeing how other people portray themselves on social media can affect you in a negative way," Doolittle said. "It can cause a huge comparison effect and make you feel bad about yourself."
Doolittle's mom advised her to take a break from social media after seeing the negative effects it had on her daughter. Doolittle deactivated her Facebook account and deleted the Instagram app off of her phone.
"Social media is very toxic," Doolittle said. "You're almost all the time better off without it."
Instagram is the worst social media network for mental health and wellbeing, according to a 2017 survey by Time Magazine of 1,500 teens and young adults. This survey found that Instagram was associated with high levels of anxiety, depression, bullying and fear of missing out.
Social media depression and negative feelings associated with comparisons were some of the key factors that made Doolittle decide to scale back on her social media usage.
"When you look at someone's social media, it seems like they have everything. They have a good job, a happy significant other, good grades, money and fun vacations," Doolittle said. "Seeing other people are in a really cool location and you're not there sucks. They're going to this fun place, and I'm here just lying on my couch."
Jeffrey Hall, an associate professor of Communication Studies at the University of Kansas, said that social media posts tend to focus on the positive moments in a person's life. Hall is the author of over 40 articles and book chapters on flirting, relationships, social networking and Facebook.
"It's not as normative to post negative things on social media," Hall said. "You're less likely to use social media to gain social support if you feel lonely or blue, than to advertise positive things."
According to Hall, there are many people who consider curtailing their social media usage.
"Interestingly, a lot more people say that they would be interested in taking a break from social media than people who actually do," Hall said.
Despite its negative connotations, people can use as a tool to combat feelings of social media depression. Researchers stress that social media can help people with depression if it is used as a mental health resource or a way to enhance social support.
"It's very possible that you might turn to social media because you might feel like it might help to lift depression," Hall said.
Let's Get Ready To Bumble
Words and photos by Sam Blaufuss
Created in 2012 and exploding onto the media scene in 2015, the app known as Tinder revolutionized online dating by simplifying things down to a swipe of the finger. Its massive success (a tad greater than my personal success with it, but we'll get to that) led to a multitude of copycat apps, including Bumble.
The details of Bumble's creation set itself apart from its online dating competition. Its founder Whitney Wolfe was a co-founder of Tinder that left the company in 2012 following sexual assault charges she filed against other Tinder co-founders. Bumble is unique in that it fully shifts its controls over to the woman after a match — if both parties swipe right, the woman has 24 hours to initiate a conversation, or else the match disappears forever (in the event you match with someone of the same sex, this rule doesn't apply.)
"In every situation, women are making the first move," said Briauna Jurgensmeyer, KU's Bumble Campus Ambassador.
Bumble is also not just limited to being an online dating app. Since its creation, the app has introduced a friend-finding feature, and an in-app professional networking platform is in the works. Riley Messina, another campus representative for Bumble, said that "Bumble is the Facebook for people you don't know yet."
These unconventional features may sound enticing to women considering the app, but for men like myself, Bumble may as well just be called Yellow Tinder.
I was initially excited as I read through about the way Bumble works. As a guy, so much is dependent on your opening message on Tinder. To have the pressure of that potential sweetheart not digging your carefully crafted name-related pun lifted off your shoulders sounded like a pretty great reason to download the app. As it turned out, doing less work doesn't always pay.
In my experience, the problem with Bumble isn't at all that women are afraid to message first; it's that you hardly get any matches in the first place. Dating apps are all based on first impressions, and usually the first impression I get with women on Bumble is that they're more than one year into college, have actual jobs, and might be seeking out a healthy relationship with someone that has their life together. Since this description does not fit me whatsoever, I feel like it may contribute to the desert that is my match queue. I'm sure there are other reasons for why my matches aren't popping (upon completing this article I actually noticed that my profile stated that I'm still in high school, so there's that.) Those are a few of the problems I noticed that are not nearly as common on Tinder, where I generally do okay.
Bumble's purpose from what I can tell is to act as a version of Tinder where ladies don't have to worry about their matches immediately sliding in unsettling and overtly sexual comments, and I fully respect that ideal. However, it has definitely led to much less interaction for me (maybe for the best). My only advice for any guys planning on putting their Bumble profiles together are this: Bumble is not the same playground as Tinder; you'll have to behave a bit differently. Basically, if you make an overtly unsettling sexual comment, make sure it's really solid.
Bumble Improves Women's Self-Esteem
By Rebekah Swank
Although I am a little afraid of being judged, I'll say it: I love Bumble.
I used to be an on-again-off-again Tinder user for several years. While studying abroad in Germany, I downloaded Tinder to learn more German slang. It worked pretty well, and I continued to use it every now and then when I came back to the U.S., but mostly for just for a good laugh. It was extremely entertaining; looking at all the kooks, weirdos and d-bags who put their best photos on an app to be seen by hundreds was a great way to make myself feel a little bit better about my own life. I matched with a few guys, chatted with a couple of them, but nothing ever came of it.
Tinder quickly became boring by the beginning of this school year. A friend told me about Bumble. "Oh yeah, the dudes are way hotter on Bumble," she said. So I created an account and started swiping.
As much as I feel like an asshole for saying this, my friend was right. I didn't run into nearly as many "I'm a practicing magician" bios, or photos of jabronis in flip flops and fedoras. Most of the men on Bumble seemed like real people I would run into on campus or around Lawrence.
However, the chatting aspect of Bumble still intimidated me. I am definitely not someone who initiates conversations with men whom I find attractive—not while I'm sober, anyway. The thought of typing out a flirty message and sending it off for another human to see was terrifying, but I did it. And I began doing it over and over again with each new connection I made. Eventually the sting of an ignored message faded, and I was able to simply have fun talking to new people.
Friends of mine who have used the app agree that women initiating contact is a nice change of pace.
"I think it's interesting that the girls are the ones who have to message first because it forces you to put yourself out there and be confident," my roommate said.
Since using Bumble, I have become much better at approaching others—men and women. I don't have as much fear of rejection, and I have gotten more comfortable with being myself around people I don't know. I've met several really nice guys through Bumble. I encourage women to try it out, even if they aren't looking for a relationship or a hook up.
A Man's Rights
By Logan Gossett
After losing a house, two jobs and $16,000 in court expenses, Phil – whose name has been changed to protect his anonymity – humbly received his ambitious reward: his son, for five hours, once a month.
Five days ago he paid a monthly fee of $600 still owed from the home's mortgage, a fee he will continue to pay until 2027 when his son will be 15 years old. Phil now pays more in child support than he earns from unemployment checks.
"My son was about four inches taller when I finally got to see him," Phil said. "His mom told him not to tell me what his favorite color is, but I think it's green. She also told him not to tell me his favorite superhero, but he let that one slip: Batman," he said. He just hopes to be a close second one day.
Men's rights advocacy was partly catalyzed by stories like Phil's. Through forums like MensActivism, A Voice for Men and Reddit's Men's Rights board, men's rights advocacy attempts to provide support and resources for fathers with similar struggles. However, their outreach is inhibited by their designation as misogynist hate groups by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). The SPLC describes the men's rights movement as "savaging feminists," and cites the website manboobz.com as a useful watchdog of the men's rights movement.
Male mortality rates paint the grisly picture that illustrates the story behind the men's rights movement.
Advocates see that men are five times more likely to commit suicide than women; that men are twenty times more likely to die in the workplace; that men are four times more likely to be the victims of homicide. Men's rights advocates see disproportionate workplace deaths and question the existence of disproportionate privilege.
Annie McBride, Assistant Director for the Emily Taylor Center for Women & Gender Equity, suggests that male privilege is not an easily measurable commodity.
"Privileges are things that [men] were born into, not that they've had to earn," she said. "The ability to, as a white person, walk around department stores and not feel people's eyes on you and be followed. I didn't do anything to earn that privilege. It was just something I was born into."
McBride agreed that male mortality and men's mental well-being is concerning. She argued that toxic masculinity stigmatizes the male pursuit of mental health treatment, something feminism seeks to rectify.
Many scholars believe that the men's rights movement is simply a backlash to feminism and the progress it has attained for women. Megan Williams, Program Coordinator for the Emily Taylor Center, agreed.
"[Men's rights advocates] use the language of civil rights to undercut actual inequity," she said. "It's really just a reflection of men who are seeing their privilege challenged; seeing the entitlement that they've had challenged and thinking that that is oppression or discrimination."
Men and indebted fathers struggle to reconcile their alarmingly higher rates of experiencing homelessness and being victims of homicide as challenged privileges. Men posting on MensActivism and A Voice for Men often resist the implication that the right to a home and life are privileges to be challenged.
Like McBride, Williams viewed feminism as a solution for the issues central to men's rights advocates.
"If we're talking about liberation of men, then that is a feminist project. If we're talking about a real men's rights movement, it's feminism," Williams said.
The most urgent men's rights topic for fathers, however, is the low likelihood of fathers being granted primary guardian custody of their child after a divorce. Custody is six times more likely to be obtained by the mother.
Phil doesn't identify as an advocate for men's rights or women's rights: just a father, if only for five hours a month.
Phil was deployed to work on oil rigs for nine months per year. After four months of working rigs in Saudi Arabian waters, he returned to his home in the deep south to find it empty.
"Everything was gone. Furniture, TVs, kitchen stuff — you name it, it was gone," Phil said. But, while furniture is replaceable, family is not.
"My heart sank when I knew what she did. All I thought of for months was seeing my wife and kid; maybe watching a movie or something," Nease said. "Now I don't even have a TV."
Phil was the sole working parent while married. While he was on oil rigs, his wife was at home serving as their son's primary caregiver. According to KU Law Associate Professor Melanie DeRousse, parental roles like those held by Phil and his ex-wife while married limit the outcomes of custody battles.
"Most of the time moms are doing that primary caregiving. The judge wants to maintain that stability for the kids so the kid has access to that attached parent. They're going to maintain some of that gender disparity that was existing in the relationship into their orders. They're looking at what will not disrupt the kid's lives, not some parent's rights," DeRousse said.
If the mother serves as the child's primary caregiver while the father is only parenting during the weekends, the judge will grant joint custody with the father having the kid for the weekend, while the mother maintains the child during the week. Extended periods away from his son while working hurt Phil's chances of attaining equal joint custody.
Melanie DeRousse said that, while some judges may assume that the kid is better off with his/her mother, "more often than not you have the parties trying to figure out what form of joint custody is going to work for the kid." DeRousse added that, "Most psychologists would agree with the legislature: joint custody is preferred for the kid."
As traditional gender roles continue to undergo egalitarian permutations, fathers will begin to attain equal joint custody more frequently. Male mortality rates and mental health still present an issue, however, and men's rights advocates and feminists view their respective movements as the optimal solution.
A Voice for Men founder Paul Elam argues that feminists preach equality while pursuing favoritism. Annie McBride, Megan Williams and most self-identified feminists disagree, instead viewing feminism as a potential solution for men's rights issues and equity for all genders.
Both men's rights advocates and feminists will continue to pursue their ideal of gender equity. Both men's rights advocates and feminists will continue to provide assistance to men or women suffering through mental illnesses or unforgiving workplaces.
Meanwhile, Phil will be eagerly anticipating his next visitation with his son.
"[My son] likes the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, so I bought him some action figures and Ninja Turtle shirts — stuff like that. Hopefully he likes them; I just wanna see him happy."

Dating on A Dime
By Cale Johnson
It's Friday afternoon and Dustin Patterson has had a long week. He's spent the last five days working on his capstone geography project, but his week of thinking isn't over yet. Now he has to figure out where he's going to take his girlfriend, Tati out this weekend.
Dustin and Tati are both students at the University of Kansas and both cry a little on the inside whenever they look at their bank accounts. They do, however, love each other and commit to going out for a date at least every couple weeks.
Whether it's a first date with somebody you're getting to know or a date with a partner you've been with for years, having quality together time is essential in a relationship. For college students who generally lack money and resources, that can certainly be a challenge.
"I think there's a perspective that in order to have a good time you have to be willing to spend a lot of money," says Elizabeth McWhorter, a relationship therapist in Olathe, Kansas.
Kids that have grown up through the digital age have probably learned a lot about dating from things like reality tv, which aren't realistic, especially financially, she added.
If you're willing to be creative there's absolutely nothing wrong with dating inexpensively. In reality, efforts made this way will be more charming, genuine and likely to go a lot further on the thoughtfulness scale than throwing down a large amount of dough.
Creativity doesn't come easy to everyone, so here is a list of date ideas at different price levels from KU students.
Double date with dogs – Free – Alexa Barton
On this date you and your partner simply head down to the local humane society and spend some time together playing with dogs that could use some love too. All you need to do is ask to volunteer and the staff will let you take the dogs out to walk or play fetch.
"Whenever my boyfriend and I do this together it's good one-on-one time and we're always in a good mood because of the dogs," Barton says.
Spin the compass – $30 – Adam Long
You and your date hop in the car and start driving, when you get to an intersection or exit you spin a needle and depending on where it points that's where you have to go. To limit gas money, four to five spins is usually enough to get you somewhere interesting. Once you get to your random location go to dinner at the nearest place you see.
Baking/cooking contest – $30-40 – Ben Larmer
Go out and buy ingredients for something you've never made before. Thenboth you and your partner make the same dish. When you each get done making it, mark the bottom of the plates and then mix them up so you don't know whose is whose and decide which was better, then check afterward and eat them together.
Arcade Olympics – $40-50 – Marc DeJesus
Head down to the nearest arcade and choose 10-15 different games. You and your date then compete against each other and come up with a prize for whoever wins the majority of them. The prize can be anything, like who gets to decide what movie to go to that night. If there isn't an arcade nearby, you can do that date by playing various board games.
"It's a good time if you're a competitive couple," says DeJesus.

Mending Broken Hearts - HeartKids Australia
As a "HeartKid" himself, Con Dedes knows all about what it means for families to go through the challenges of having a child with Congenital Heart Disease (CHD). The immense pressures that are put on parents and families are second only to the battle that the children with CHD go through themselves.
The purpose of HeartKids is to assist in the lifetime journey of the 64,000 children, teens, and adults affected by CHD throughout Australia, and our goal here is to not only spread the message about CHD, but also to help raise funds for this incredible organisation.
So, what is CHD? Essentially, it is when a child is born with a malformation of the heart, aorta, or other large blood vessels.
Let's look at some of the simple facts about CHD:
In Australia, eight babies are born with a heart condition every day.
Congenital Heart Disease is the most common birth abnormality, affecting 1 in every 100 babies.
HeartKids provides life-long support for heart kids and their families.
Over 32,000 adults have lived with a heart condition since childhood, thanks to medical advances.
There is no known cure.
The most frustrating of the above facts is that there is no known cure, which means it comes down to the support that can be given.
Heart Angels
Very sadly, the name 'Heart Angels' is given to the children or young people who have died from CHD and associated conditions. It is the role of HeartKids, who have been doing this for over 35 years now, to work with the families who have tragically experienced the loss of a young person in their lives due to CHD. Heartbreakingly, four children or young people pass away each week and it is imperative the families know there is a large community of caring people there to support them. Grief is a difficult thing to deal with and people deal with it in their own ways, and this is where the support of HeartKids is so essential - helping and guiding people along this path in the days, months, and years that follow. Our mission is to ensure they can continue to do this essential work in our communities.
HeartKids is based on four pillars:
Advocacy – advocate for the needs of people with congenital/childhood heart disease, their families and carers.
Information – provide quality information to guide families on their whole life journey.
Research – drive world class research into the causes, treatment and management of congenital/childhood heart disease.
Support – deliver high quality support services via all major Australian Children's hospitals and in the community.
It is these four pillars that are the driving force behind HeartKids, ensuring that the young people suffering from CHD and their families receive all the help they can. They also act as a list of things in which all those involved with HeartKids strive to continue the growth and development of.
Will you help us?
The Dedes Group have long been supporters of HeartKids and Con Dedes himself is an Ambassador for the organisation.
As HeartKids relies solely on the donations of everyday Australians, the Dedes Group want to raise as many funds as possible for this incredible life-saving and life-giving organisation and would like your help in achieving this.
We are fortunate to have some of the top restaurants Sydney has to offer so we would like to utilise this position with this: throughout the rest of August, the Dedes Group will make a donation to HeartKids for every dessert purchased at any of these, some of our best restaurants Sydney side; Flying Fish / Watergrill / Deckhouse / Flying Fish & Chips / The Italian Kitchen Miranda.
Donations can also be made at www.heartkidsnsw.org.au
