An Exclusive Evening With The Consul General Of Canada – April 20, 2017
March 23, 2017 /0 Comments/in Dallas: Past Events /by Candi Dunigan
You are invited… to a powerful and pleasant international business and social evening in Dallas. We'll enjoy meeting our special guest, Sara Wilshaw, the Consul General of Canada in Dallas, who will help us explore the strong and growing ties and opportunities between Texas and her home country.
Join us for a festive evening of fun and entertainment as we celebrate business with Canada and the world. Be sure to brush up on your Canadian trivia and cultural facts to win prizes and admiration!
7:20 – Introductions, welcome address by Sara Wilshaw, the Consul General of Canada
Casually classy, Canada celebratory or doing business with Canada appropriate.
MESSAGE FROM THE CONSUL GENERAL & BIO
Message from the Consul General:
It is my great honour and privilege to be appointed Consul General of Canada in Dallas, representing Canada in Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas. The ties that bind 35 million Canadians to the 39 million people in this region are strong and growing. And I'm eagerly anticipating being part of that.
From my previous post leading Canada's commercial relations in New Delhi, India I had a ring-side seat on the international competition for capital and jobs. That experience drove home to me the importance of Canadians and U.S. citizens working together to take advantage of our synergies, to make our economies more seamless and to secure our place on the global stage. Together we have many strengths.
We defend North America together. At Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma City, for example, 43 members of the Royal Canadian Air Force and Canadian Army form the Canadian Component. For 35 years Canadians have been an integral part of the North American Aerospace Defense Command's (NORAD) Airborne Warning and Control System program (AWACS, or "Eh-WACS" as Canadians like to say), part of the 552nd Air Control Wing, deploying in North American skies and around the globe.
And we're building North America's energy security together. Canada's vast resources from the Arctic to the Pacific to the Atlantic, are a treasure-house of energy supplies, including the world's third-largest oil reserves. Companies are investing billions of dollars to bring those energy resources to market. Murphy Oil, based in El Dorado, Arkansas, for example, is an investor in Alberta's oil sands and in offshore Newfoundland and Labrador. And Canadian companies are investing billions of dollars to develop energy resources in this region of the U.S., including the pipelines that tie producers to consumers. In a turbulent world, we can count on each other to create jobs in the energy sector and increase energy security for all North Americans.
But energy is just one sector and I see great potential, with our Trade Commissioner sector specialists at the Consulate General, in linking Canadian entrepreneurs with U.S. businesses in this region through partnerships and strategic alliances across the whole spectrum of the North American economy.
Our team at the Consulate General engages local leaders on issues that affect North Americans, helps Canadians living and traveling in our region, and assists in building business relationships. I look forward to answering your questions and to hearing from you on how Canadians, Arkansans, Louisianans, New Mexicans, Oklahomans and Texans, together, can build a stronger and more competitive North America.
I'm looking forward to getting to work with you on these important issues.
Consul General,
Sara Wilshaw

Modern Alpha Channel – ETF Database
WisdomTree Launches GTR, New Target Range Fund
Modern Alpha Channel - ETF Database
Evan HarpOct 07, 2021
WisdomTree Investments, Inc. (NASDAQ: WETF), an exchange traded fund and exchange traded product sponsor and asset manager, announced today the launch of the WisdomTree Target Range Fund (GTR B+) on NASDAQ. GTR is an actively managed ETF that seeks to provide capital appreciation, with a secondary objective of hedging risk. In pursuing its these objectives, GTR aims to follow the methodology of the TOPS® Global Equity Target RangeTM Index (the "Index"). The Index was created by Valmark Advisers, a subsidiary of Valmark Financial Group.
"Investors face a complex market environment with elevated stock valuations and historically low interest rates. Fears of inflation and rising rates have pushed some investors out on the risk curve, pushing up a traditional 60% equity/40% fixed income mix towards 75/25," said Jeremy Schwartz, global head of research at WisdomTree. "WisdomTree's Target Range Fund may help investors increase their equity exposure and upside participation in markets, but in a risk-controlled manner."
GTR utilizes a call spread strategy whose returns seek to be similar to the returns of the Index but will not match the Index's returns due to the amount and timing of assets that flow in and out of GTR and GTR's fees and expenses.
In seeking to follow the methodology of the Index, GTR's call spread strategy consists of buying long call options and selling short call options on a portfolio of four underlying ETFs that track the performance of large- and mid-capitalization companies in the United States, developed market countries and emerging market countries, and cash collateral. GTR's target exposure to the underlying ETFs may differ from time to time from the Index due to the active management of the fund, market movements, and cash flows in and out of the fund.
"WisdomTree is the perfect firm to collaborate with, and we're excited for investors to have access to this new fund," said Michael McClary, CIO at Valmark Financial Group and portfolio manager of the TOPS ETF Portfolios.
WisdomTree's target range strategy offers exposure to a diversified portfolio of global equity ETFs, representing U.S large-cap, U.S. small-cap, developed markets, and emerging markets. The fund has an expense ratio of 0.70%.
For more news, information, and strategy, visit the Model Portfolio Channel.
Investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the Fund before investing. To obtain a prospectus containing this and other important information, call 866.909.9473 or visit wisdomtree.com. Read the prospectus carefully before you invest.
There are risks associated with investing, including possible loss of principal. The Fund is actively managed and implements a strategy similar to the methodology of the TOPS® Global Equity Target RangeTM Index (the "Index"), which seeks to track the performance of a cash-secured call spread option strategy. There can be no assurance that the Index or the Fund will achieve its respective investment objectives, or that the Fund will successfully implement its investment strategy. Moreover, while the Fund seeks to target returns within a prescribed range thereby minimizing downside investment loss, there can be no guarantee that an investor in the Fund will experience limited downside protection. The Fund's options strategy will subject Fund returns to an upside limitation on returns attributable to the assets underlying the options. The Fund's investments in options may be subject to volatile swings in price influenced by changes in the value of the underlying ETFs or other reference asset. The return on an options contract may not correlate with the return of its underlying reference asset. The Fund's use of derivatives will give rise to leverage and derivatives can be volatile and may be less liquid than other securities. As a result, the value of an investment in the Fund may change quickly and without warning and you may lose money. Please read the Fund's prospectus for specific details regarding the Fund's risk profile.
Investing involves risks including possible loss of principal.
Investment exposure to securities and instruments traded in foreign or emerging markets, or that provide exposure to such securities or markets, can involve additional risks relating to political, economic, or regulatory conditions not associated with investments in U.S. securities and instruments or investments in more developed international markets.
Limited Upside Return Risk. By virtue of its cash-secured call spread option strategy, Fund returns will be subject to an upside limitation on returns attributable to an Underlying ETF or other reference asset and the Fund will not participate in gains beyond such upside limitation. In the event an investor purchases Fund shares after the date on which the Fund implements the call spread strategy and the share price of the relevant Underlying ETF or other reference asset has risen in value to a level near the strike price, there may be little or no ability for that investor to experience an investment gain on an investment in Fund shares with respect to that Underlying ETF or other reference asset.
Downside Loss Risk. There can be no guarantee that an investor in the Fund will experience limited downside protection, particularly short-term investors, investors that seek to time the market and/or investors that invest over a period other than the annual period. The Fund does not protect an investor against the loss of principal, and an investor may experience significant losses on its investment in the Fund, including the loss of his or her entire investment.
FLEX Options may be less liquid than standard options and may have difficulty closing out certain FLEX Options positions at desired times and prices.

This is an amazing Salmon dish. It's light, fresh, and easy to make.
You just might want to take a trip to an Asian market to purchase the ingredients. You can find everything here at a local grocery store, but I think Asian markets have great prices and I like to buy larger quantities so that I always have them on hand.
In a small mixing bowl, add soy sauce.
This is a close up photo of the Aji-Mirin.
Rice Vinegar. I like the seasoned gourmet.
Add the sesame oil. Sesame oil is generally used to flavor foods. You should only use a small amount or the flavor will overpower other ingredients.
Peel and chop the fresh ginger. Eww I hate it when I get ginger that is a little greenish gray on the inside. The ginger that I purchase at the grocery store will be this color 90% of the time. I don't know what the difference is, but the Asian markets ginger is generally bright and beautiful.
Add chopped ginger to the soy mixture.
Chop cilantro. Sorry I totally left it out of my photo's.
Set aside 3/4 of a cup of the mixture to reserve for later.
Place the salmon filet's in a plastic bag or you could use a shallow dish.
I'm only using two because I'm just cooking for two these days. Sweet.
Pour the soy mixture over the salmon. Not the 3/4 cup you have saved.
Let the salmon marinate for1-2hours. Don't marinate overnight or longer than an hour because the soy makes the salmon way too salt. From a voice of experience.
Take the reserved 3/4 cup of the soy mixture and pour into a small sauce pan.
Bring the mixture to a boil and reduce by only 1/4 cup. Once the sauce is barely reduced set aside to use for a glaze on the salmon.
Now let's make the Fresh Pineapple Salsa.
At this point you can coarsely chop the pineapple and use a food processor being very careful not to over process. Only pulse a few times. I like to cut the pineapple myself for more uniform salsa.
Place in medium size mixing bowl.
Finely chop and dice the red pepper.
Chop the jalapeno into a fine dice.
Chop the green onions. White and light green parts only.
Squeeze in two tablespoons of lime juice.
and cilantro that I once again forgot to put in photo.
Salsa can be made a day in advance. Just cover and refrigerate.
For grilling the salmon, heat your grill to high. I like to use a piece of non-stick aluminum foil. It make grilling fish pretty easy.
Place the salmon fillets on the hot foil. Cook for about 3 minutes.
Carefully turn over. I love how the sauce begins to caramelize. It tastes so wonderful.
completely cooked through. The salmon will continue to cook as it sits. I hate my fish overcooked. When fish is overcooked, it becomes dry and fishy tasting.
Remove from heat and drizzle a couple of tablespoons of the sauce over the salmon.
You could also use this recipe with chicken, if you're not a salmon lover.
heat until reduced and slightly thickened.

Stir all ingredients together in a mixing bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use. Can be made one day in advance.
Janet, this looks so healthy and inviting…I am going to give it a try, my husband loves grilled food especially fish. Have a great day.
I have been looking for a good salmon recipe for Mother's Day! This is perfect 🙂 Thank you for all of your wonderful recipes!
So you get to cook for yourself on Mother's day too?? I hope you enjoy the salmon.

VNA Community Health Center fills key niche in community
As a Federally Qualified Health Center, VNA Community Health Center serves wide array of patients
Michael Neary
Gisela Garrison, director of the Northwest Colorado Visiting Nurse Association Community Health Center, described the unique role of a Federally Qualified Health Center.
Craig — As a Federally Qualified Health Center, the Northwest Colorado Visiting Nurse Association's Community Health Center fills a key niche in the community.
The Community Health Center has three primary care doctors on staff, along with four physician assistants and one nurse practitioner. Six of the eight providers divide work time between Craig and Steamboat Springs, with two physician assistants working only in Craig.
Gisela Garrison, director of the Northwest Colorado VNA Community Health Center, said salaries for primary care physicians at the VNA are lower than in the private sector — but she also noted advantages.
"The payment for our primary care physicians is definitely much lower than in the private sector," she said. "It takes a certain person, personality-wise, who wants to work with much less money than they would get in the private market. But overall I feel like the benefits of working in an FQ for the right person outweigh the lack of money."
According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' website, "Federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) include all organizations receiving grants under Section 330 of the Public Health Service Act (PHS)," and they "qualify for enhanced reimbursement from Medicare and Medicaid, as well as other benefits."
To qualify as FQHCs, the centers "must serve an underserved area or population, offer a sliding fee scale, provide comprehensive services, have an ongoing quality assurance program, and have a governing board of directors."
Garrison said the VNA Community Health Center's status as an FQHS allows it to offer strong benefits to its providers — benefits that have helped it to recruit and retain physicians. That status enables the center to provide liability insurance for its providers, and Garrison said the federal government also provides loan repayment.
"We have not lost a primary care M.D. in the eight years that we have been working as a primary care (facility)," Garrison said, noting a high retention rate for the other providers, as well.
Garrison described the way the role of primary care providers has expanded.
"Health care is shifting," Garrison said. "We ask a lot of our primary care providers in the sense of patient-centered team-based care."
And with the greater prevalence of Medicaid, primary care doctors are able to see more people — but it's the next step that can be more difficult.
"Very few specialists accept Medicaid clients or uninsured clients," she said. "It's a really big issue in all communities — here too. That means that much more challenging work falls to the primary care provider. That is a special burden for them. Not that they don't want to work hard — on the contrary, they work really hard."
In this community, Garrison said, some specialists do accept Medicaid, and some don't.
"This is a challenge for any primary care provider," she said.
Garrison said the reimbursement rate for Medicaid is much less than it is for private services, and she noted work by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to increase Medicaid reimbursement rates for services.
"But it's a question of finances, and it is a very complex issue," she said.
Garrison noted, too, that the Community Health Center in Craig is about twice as busy as the Community Health Center in Steamboat Springs.
"It's more established (in Craig)," she said. "It's older. We are in our eighth year now. And secondly, in 2007 and 2008, when the VNA agency decided to apply for federal funding to establish a community clinic, at that time there was a high number of uninsured patients here in this community who did not have any access to primary care. Also, very few of the primary care providers would accept Medicaid clients at that time. So, we filled an enormous need for primary care services for uninsured and Medicaid clients."
In Craig, even as more providers began accepting Medicaid, the VNA had already become the established place of care for many patients.
"We already had a core of clients that stayed with us," she said.

Leon , a tri-colored 7 yr old male, came to Toy Fox Terrier Rescue by way of Florida. Leon was one of five dogs that were transported to Denver, Colorado from a hoarding situation in Florida. Leon was a shy boy who took a while to warm up but once he did, he loved to cuddle all the time. Leon's photos eventually captured the heart of Vicky, who was searching for her furever pup online. After the application and approval process was completed, she drove up from Texas to a Colorado adoption event, The Rescue Rally of the Rockies, to meet and pick up Leon. Vicky immediately took Leon (now named Little Bitt) for a celebratory walk and to spoil him by buying him goodies from the Rally vendors. Lil' Bitt and Vicky stayed a few days in Colorado and then had a wonderful road trip back home to Texas. Congratulations to Vicky and Lil' Bitt!

Comics Lowdown | All hail the king as 'King Spawn' #1 sells nearly 500,000 copies
Spawn continues its big comeback with big numbers. Plus: news on censorship in Texas, Tim Drake's big revelation, Kim Dwinell, 'Chickaloonies' and more.
Todd McFarlane's Spawn is coming back in a big way this year, as the creator launches a universe of titles built around the character. Spawn's Universe #1 set a sales record for the 21st Century for Image Comics, and it looks like the first issue of King Spawn has already broken it, with a reported 497,000 pre-orders.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, that puts King Spawn #1 in the same neighborhood as DC's Action Comics No. 1,000, which has pre-orders of an estimated 504,000 copies, and Detective Comics No. 1,000 with its 574,705 copies. So it's a respectable neighborhood.
"The numbers that came in were much higher than what I had projected," McFarlane said in a press release.,"with sales that now have a historical impact in our industry. It proves that the character Spawn and the world he lives in still resonates to fans almost 30 years after I first introduced him. But the biggest thing for me is having King Spawn becoming another example to the creative community that you can have creator-owned success outside of the two huge publishing giants, Marvel, and DC Comics. Every story that shows you can make a career on your own will hopefully inspire other talented people to try. As President of Image Comics, advocating for the creators has been our goal since its inception in 1992."
King Spawn #1 arrives in September, followed by Gunslinger Spawn in October The Scorched in December.
Leander, Texas' local school district is back in the news, and once again it's related to censorship. After removing several graphic novels from shelves back in April, Leander Independent School District has added seven more titles to its banned books list — although no graphic novels made the list this time around. My Friend Dahmer by Derf Backderf is on a list of titles still under review; it was initially removed back in April, but was added back as long as students received counseling when reading it.
Tim Drake, Batman's third Robin, made headlines this week after saying yes to a date with a boy. Polygon reports on the newest member of the BAt family to join the LGBTQ+ community, as Susanna Polo talks with Meghan Fitzmartin, writer of the story that appeared in last Wednesday's Batman: Urban Legends:
"The greatest thing about working with an established IP," Fitzmartin told Polygon, "is that there are so many story decisions for characters that have already been made for you (often by people much smarter than you). ["Sum of Our Parts"] happened because this is who Tim is. I love this character very much, and as I went back to reread as much as I could to do Robin justice, it became clear this is the story Tim needed to tell."
Alex Jaffe has an excellent piece about these events up on DC's website.
Writing for The Guardian, Sam Thielman spoke with Ed Brubaker, Jimmy Palmiotti, Ta-Nehisi Coates and other comics creators about their struggles with Marvel and DC in being compensated when their work is translated to the big screen.
"Long before I was writing Captain America, I read [Brubaker and Epting's] Death of Captain America storyline, and Return of the Winter Soldier, and it was some of the most thrilling storytelling I'd ever read," Coates tells the Guardian. "I'd rather read it than watch the movies – I love the movies too – but it doesn't seem just for them to extract what Steve and Ed put into this and create a multi-billion dollar franchise."
The San Diego Union Tribune spotlights Kim Dwinell and the Aug. 24 release of The Science of Surfing: A Surfside Girls Guide to the Ocean. While her first two books in the Surfside Girls series were mysteries, this one is actually more of a science guide about the ocean, with chapters on biology, physics, strange ocean phenomenon, how to surf and how to be a good ocean steward.
"I thought I would be doing a third mystery, but I was really enjoying the research, so I asked my editor if I could do this first," Dwinell said. "And that was my COVID experience, just sponging up all of this."
The Anchorage Press has a feature up on Chickaloonies, a new graphic novel by Dimi Macheras and Casey Silver. It's "the fantasy adventure of two Indigenous friends who begin a quest to find the sun during a time of perpetual darkness."
You can find it on their Etsy site.
from Mom's Cancer by Brian Fies
Writing for The Conversation, Shannon Sandford rounds up several graphic novels that fall into the Graphic Medicine category, including titles by Allie Brosh, Brian Fies and Julia Wertz.
Letterer Todd Klein has dedicated several posts on his blog to looking back at the work and career of Ira Schnapp. In his latest post, he spotlights a fascinating find — a kid's get-well card from the 1950s that included a comic story that appears to be lettered by Schnapp.

Saint Mac Cairthinn, also Macartan, McCartan (died 506), is recognized as the first presiding Bishop of Clogher from 454 to his death. One of the earliest Christian saints in Ireland, he is known as Saint Patrick's "Threin Fhir", or "Strong Man" for his dedication and faithfulness to the fledgling Church. His feast day is 24 March.

Legend
Saint Macartan grew up in the southern part of Ireland, somewhere in Munster. Before his conversion to Christianity by Patrick, the future saint was known by the name Aidus/Aedh, the son of Caerthen (son of the Rowan Tree). The identity of his father is uncertain, but is sometimes associated with a Dalcassian prince of Thomond or with the Uí Maine of Connacht. Hence the Anglicized later name to come down to us is "Macartan". Some sources claim that he was uncle to Saint Brigid.

Hearing of Patrick's teaching, Aidus traveled from his home to hear him preach in Armagh, leaving behind his wife and child. He first met Patrick at Drumlease, near Dromahair, County Leitrim. Here Macartan was baptized and soon became one of Patrick's official missionary staff. He was spoken of as Patrick's "champion" or "strong man". We are told that when the great Apostle was worn out by his work that Macartan supported his faltering steps over rough roads, marshes and rivers by carrying him. Macartan was initially ordained to the role of presbyter (priest) while Patrick was still living, possible by Patrick himself.

He was the "staff of Patrick" in the Irish patron saint's declining years. On one occasion after carrying Patrick over a river, an exhausted Macartan expressed a wish that he might be relieved from further travel and allowed settle down in charge of some church close by his beloved master where he could spend the evening of his life in peace. Patrick, full of sympathy for his faithful companion and friend, agreed that he should establish a monastery in Clogher, and finish out his life there. A monastery was established near the ancient royal fort of Rathmore on the outskirts of the town and one of Ireland's oldest bishoprics was established. To commemorate the occasion Patrick gave Macartan his staff and a number of precious relics contained in a shrine known to tradition as the Domnach Airgid.

Domnach Airgid

The Domnach Airgid (the Silver church) was made to enclose a manuscript that consists of fragments of 39 sheets of the Gospels, written in the distinctively Irish lettering of the eighth or ninth century. On the cover of the Domnach Airgid is one of the earliest surviving metalwork images of St. Patrick. Traditionally, the book was claimed to be that given by St Patrick himself to his companion St Macartan, making it an object of great veneration. Around 1350, the abbot of Clones, John O Carbry, commissioned a substantial remodelling of the Domnach Airgid. The figure of St. Patrick is thought to be at the lower right of the cover. In the lower left St. Patrick may be handing the Domnach Airgid to St. Macartan. The Domnach Airgid is no. 48 in A History of Ireland in 100 Objects, and can be seen in the National Museum of Ireland.

India is witnessing a Human Rights emergency
Hanan Zaffar, India
Today, 10 December, is observed as Human Rights Day across the world, commemorating the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) by the United Nations General Assembly in 1948. The UDHR proclaimed that everyone is entitled to certain absolute rights - irrespective of race, colour, religion, sex, language, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status.
According to the United Nations, even though human rights have become more recognised and more guaranteed across the globe since the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, "the promise of the UDHR, of dignity and equality in rights, has been under a sustained assault in recent years." This is visible in India, where human rights in general, and specifically minorities rights, have recently been under serious threat.
The state - currently ruled by the Hindu Nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi - is accused not only of turning a blind eye towards incidents of violence against minorities, but of using its influence and power to target minorities, specifically Muslims, while also threatening the freedom of expression of people critical of its actions, including the press.
Experts based out of the region accuse the Indian state of not only sheltering the perpetrators in pursuit of appeasing the majority, but also of providing "political patronage" to attackers.
The bulldozing of Muslim houses under the pretext of "demolishing illegal constructions" has been the latest example of targeted persecution by the state. Following communal clashes between Hindus and Muslims in different parts of the country, which were allegedly initiated by the Hindu nationalists, authorities target Muslims by arresting them and demolishing their houses.
In 2019, the autonomy of the Indian-administered Kashmir, which is majority Muslim, was unilaterally revoked by the Indian government following a lockdown and communication blockade of the region. The disputed territory, which has been seeking a resolution of the decades-old conflict, was already witnessing immense human rights violations. However, following the revocation of its autonomy, the attacks on freedom and human rights have only intensified.
The government in 2020 also passed a new citizenship law, which made religion a basis of granting citizenship to people of neighbouring countries - notably excluding Muslims. The bill along with the National Register of Citizenship (NRC) led to the deprivation of citizenship for many Muslims in the country.
Not astonishingly, the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) has recommended the US government to designate India as a "country of particular concern" for "engaging in and tolerating systematic, ongoing, and egregious violations of religious freedom."
At the same time, anti-terror laws are being used to target minorities, government critics and journalists, which has led UN member states to question the Indian government at the Universal Periodic Review (UPR) at the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC).
The state is also suppressing the freedom of expression with attacks on its critics and journalists. India has witnessed a consistent decline in its Press Freedom Index since the BJP came into power in 2014. In 2022, the country was ranked at 150 among 180 listed countries in the World Press Freedom Index released by Reporters Without Borders (RSF).
RSF in its report stated, "The violence against journalists, the politically partisan media and the concentration of media ownership all demonstrate that press freedom is in crisis in 'the world's largest democracy,' ruled since 2014 by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the leader of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the embodiment of the Hindu nationalist right."

output = f"Employee with this No. is {name} and his birthday is {birthday}."
print(output)

This prints:
Employee with this No. is Deseo and his birthday is 12/25/1998.

A: You should create a class "Employee" and use a dictionary instead of the list:
employInfo =
{
    "1": employee1,
    "2": employee2
}

Then you can access each employee by its id. And you can use class methods to get employee data.

A: employInfo = [1, 'De Leon', '7/19/2001',
              2, 'Fabien', '6/6/1999',
              3, 'Dereck', '12/25/1998']

usr_input = int(input("Enter No.: "))
num = usr_input - 1
name = 2 * usr_input + num - 1
date = usr_input * 3 - 1

sentence = "Employee with this No. is " +
employInfo[name] + " and his birthday is " +
employInfo[date]

print(sentence)

A: It's unusual for a modern process/program to use this kind of data-structure where everything is packed into a single list, with different data-attributes occupying fixed positions in a repeating pattern, but in the old days, this was kind of how lots of fixed-width byte-encoded "random access" data files used to be.
The trick is to find a mapping from list to attribute type - so in your case,
employInfo=[1,'De Leon','7/19/2001',
           2,'Fabian','6/6/1999'
           3,'Deseo','12/25/1998']

The pattern is Number[0], Name[1], Date[2] and if you were to imagine this list extending on forever, you could predict that each record (starting at record 0) will contain the following positions.
Record n: Number = n*3, Name = (n*3)+1, Date = (n*3)+2

Going in reverse, if you find a match in the list at position m, then you can determine the record from which m is drawn using the inverse formulas:
Match m: Record n = int(m/3)

Give these two sets of formula, you can have one function that will return the record given a match at position m.
def get_content(m, data):
    n = int(m/3)
    number = data[(n*3)]
    name = data[(n*3)+1]
    date = data[(n*3)+2]
    return number, name, date

Next you need a method for searching your data - that could be something simple like:
def get_match_at(search, data):
    m= data.index(search)
    return m

And finally, now you can retrieve any record, you want to format it according to some stated requirement:
def format_record(record):
    number, name, date = record
    return f"Employee number {number} is called {name} and their birthday is {date}."

So now, you can run those functions independently:
get_match_at(3,employInfo)

> 6

To get the position of a match.
get_content(6, employInfo)

> (3, 'Deseo', '12/25/1998')

To get the record found given the match was found at position 6.
And finally, you can format that record using:
format_record((3, 'Deseo', '12/25/1998'))

To return:
> 'Employee number 3 is called Deseo and their birthday is 12/25/1998.'

String that all together into a single call:
format_record(get_content(get_match_at(3,employInfo),employInfo))

> 'Employee number 3 is called Deseo and their birthday is 12/25/1998.'

And you've got a relatively generalised search pipeline.
I say generalised, because it should work for matches on name or date as well as number.
e.g. Perform a search by name, rather than by id:
format_record(get_content(get_match_at('Deseo',employInfo),employInfo))

> 'Employee number 3 is called Deseo and their birthday is 12/25/1998.'

It's just a case of breaking down the process into discrete steps that build on top of one another.

The View of M6-117 from Hunter Gratzner
M6-117 is a desert planet in the M-344/G System[1]. It is known for being the location of the Hunter Gratzner crash, and also for its strange position in the solar system in relation to the other celestial bodies in the system, and the dangerous nocturnal predators that infest the planet.
Climate Edit
Render of M6-117 on Monitor
The planet is sandy and arid. There is little plant life and little water as well (although it rains during the rare "night" period of total eclipse). Most animal life has been exterminated by Bioraptors. There is barely enough oxygen in the atmosphere to allow human beings to breathe, and due to the lack of a normal amount of oxygen on the planet, most humans constantly feel out of breath and exhausted.
Total Eclipse Edit
The planet is located between three suns in the system, and is in constant sunlight except during a lengthy total eclipse (some sources say the eclipse lasts a month; others say decades), when larger planets in the system block the three suns from the planet. During the eclipse, nearly all life on the planet is massacred.
Native Life Edit
The dominant species on the planet are Bioraptors, which live in caverns underground except during the total eclipse. During this eclipse, they rise out of the ground and feast on all other animal life on the planet. Thus, most creatures are rendered extinct during this eclipse. One of the victim species were known as Cetaceans (even though they lived on land and walked). Though large and numerous, they were exterminated viciously by the Bioraptors. The only known species to survive the eclipse are the surface cave-dwelling Glow Worms, whose natural luminescence keeps them safe from Bioraptors.
Once the planet was inhabited by a team of geologists who erected Geological Outpost T2. Since the planet was in constant sunlight, virtually everything the colonists used was solar-powered. However, when the eclipse took place, this made all of their technology useless. Many colonists were killed, but some took refuge in the Coring Building, since it had the biggest and strongest doors. However, in their haste, they forgot to lock the cellar doors and Bioraptors quickly followed them in, slaughtering them.
Planet Side and the crashing of Hunter Gratzner
View From The Planet
For 22 years, the planet remained uninhabited and ignored, even though it was on at least one space travel lane. The day before the eclipse was due to take place again, the Hunter Gratzner, a transport ship bound for the Tangiers System, was damaged flying through the tail of a rogue comet. The crew barely managed to crash-land the ship, and only one crew-member survived, along with 11 passengers (out of a total number of 40). They discovered the archeologist colony and discovered the Bioraptors, herds of dead "whales", and learned that the eclipse would soon take place. They discovered the skiff that the colonists prepared for takeoff, put fuel into it, and managed to escape, although the vast majority of them died: the one remaining crew-member died, along with nine of the surviving passengers. The remaining three escaped in the skiff.
10 weeks after the Hunter Gratzner crash, Rescue Vessel Alpha 1 was sent to investigate the incident but the team disappeared as well, having been buried alive by sandstorms.[2] Two more teams were sent to the planet and contact was lost with both of them. On the third attempt, tactical nukes were used to clear landing areas, to no avail, due to sheer number of predators. Investigative autobots were then enlisted to gather evidence.[3]
Hunt for Riddick misnamed the planet as P474, and even as M-344/G (which is the name of the system where the planet resides).

EU pledges $145 million to save Pompeii
The European Union announced Wednesday that it will give Italy 105 million euros ($145 million) to safeguard Pompeii. The money is part of a larger one billion euro program to support major heritage sites in dire need of conservation and will fund a four-year project to preserve the ancient Roman town.
The news comes in the wake of yet another wall collapse last Friday caused by the heavy rains and mudslides that have devastated Italy over the past week. Last when year torrential rains caused an epidemic of wall collapses, Culture Minister Sandro Bondi narrowly dodged a no confidence vote and promised moneys and personnel devoted to regular maintenance to stem the tide of destruction. Those promises went unkept.
Bondi resigned in March and now there's a new Culture Minister, Giancarlo Galan. He has stated that Pompeii is a priority for his ministry, but his response to last week's wall collapse was to say that the damage wasn't bad and to point to the EU's coming €105 million as the windfall that will keep things from getting worse. Archaeologists and heritage organizations are concerned that the additional funds may get bogged down in legislative battles, corruption, pork barrel trades and diversions. Pompeii isn't broke; the archaeological park makes 70 million tourist dollars a year, even in an economic downturn. The problem is in the pipeline.
"Money and people were promised, but despite frequent announcements, neither arrived," said Maria Pia Guermandi, a council member at Italian heritage organisation Italia Nostra.
"The hiring of new archaeologists to help protect the site was included in a new bill recently but was then omitted from the final text. In the meantime, funds have actually been diverted to support museums in nearby Naples."
Teresa Elena Cinquantaquattro, superintendent of the site, said she was awaiting the arrival of 25 archaeologists.
Guermandi said the partial collapse of the wall had been caused by water infiltrating the stonework. "All it would have taken to prevent this was some waterproofing on top of the wall – simple, regular maintenance," she said.
"Instead of waiting for €100m, the government could have freed up €10m to get started immediately."
At the conference announcing the pledge, EC Regional Affairs Commissioner Johannes Hahn made a point of saying that his office would "constantly monitor" the allocation of the funds. Galan said that now that the money has been allocated, "it's a matter of spending it in the best way possible, to make a good impression on the EU and to accomplish something important." This plan, he argues, "will allow Pompeii for the first time to count on a project of great scope."
The day after that press conference a chunk fell off the House of Diomedes, prompting Italy's main labor union UIL to urge an immediately archaeological assessment of the entire site so that we have a clear idea of what condition all of the ruins are in. The culture ministry said the Diomedes collapse was a gradual detachment of the wall due to vegetation growth. Opposition political party Italy of Values pointed out that that's not exactly reassuring since it proves that there's long-term structural damage in Pompeii the ministry knows nothing about.
