Include the text you'd like engraved on the finished center heart. Anything in parenthesis will be considered a symbol or icon, for instance (heart) will be a heart shape and not the word. Avoid too much text if possible.
Add a Border to your Dog Puzzle?
The border adds a professional look and allows the puzzle to be hung on a wall.
Don't see the breed you want in the drop down? Write your breed here.
What better way to include your best friend then a dog/puppy puzzle guest book alternative? This truly is a unique, fun, and exciting way to involve guests at any event. It's a sure crowd-pleaser! Whether it's for a wedding, to commemorate your pet, reunion, birthday, anniversary, fundraiser, or any other event, the guests will love being involved in the day being recorded for a lifetime. Frame it and hang it on your wall, or challenge yourself by putting it back together down the road.
All of these puzzles come with a finished heart puzzle piece with the text you want engraved on it.
For weddings, people typically use names and a date. You may want your dog's name engraved here. Whatever you want, we will engrave on the heart piece. Typically it's in two lines of text. We suggest using the least amount of text possible, so we can engrave the letters as large as possible. If there is a lot of text, it will have to be made small and more difficult to read. We always align the text in the center and make the date smaller than the names (if that is what is to be engraved).
These are good-sized puzzles! The puzzle pieces are all different in shape and size, and decently sized. This allows a good amount of space for guests to write on, certainly more than just a name or two. You can choose from the 25-, 50-, 75-, 100-, 150-, 200- and 250-piece dog puzzles.
Choose any breed from the drop-down list. If you don't see your breed listed, select "Other" and write in the "Other breed" text area the breed you'd like, and we will custom-make this for you at no additional charge. It may take an extra week to complete your puzzle if your breed is not listed in the drop-down.
Make sure to leave a note of exactly what you want engraved. You will find a text area to fill out on this product page. In the case of the main item pictured, this would be "Daniel & Sammy October 20th, 2018." Anything you enclose in parentheses will be considered a symbol or icon; for instance, you may want "Tanya (heart) Jason." You may also choose something like "Ziggy (heart)" or "Ziggy 2008-2018." Whatever you choose, we will engrave it to look as good as possible, typically in 2 lines of text (but sometimes 3), always center-aligned.
The border adds a great look to the puzzles. They are also cut from quarter-inch maple ply and coated with a dark brown finish to match the heart within the puzzle. The border, or frame, keeps the pieces securely in place. It also has padded hangers attached on the back, 16″ on center, allowing the completed puzzle easily to be hung on the wall. If you decide to hang it on the wall, you'll need to secure the pieces in place so they don't fall out. This can be done in a number of ways; we suggest glue dots or double-sided tape, or for a permanent bond, super glue or wood glue.
We received our product about 2.5 weeks after ordering it. An email was sent to us, notifying us when the package was out for delivery. The product comes well-packaged with fragile stickers written all over the outside. The entire puzzle is held together by a large piece of paper with painter's masking tape attached to the back of the picture. You can tell that the front is finished, but the back is not finished at all; this is because when removing the masking tape, the outer layer of wood on the backside comes off with the tape. This custom-made piece was made with utmost care. You can smell the faint odor the stain gives off. We especially love the heart in the middle of our corgi that says our names in the middle with our wedding date. There is already hanging hardware installed in the back as well. They even sent us extra mini corgi laser cut wood shapes with magnets on the back to use for our fridge! Havoly went above and beyond the extra mile. We are tremendously pleased with this product and would recommend Havoly to any of our friends. We would also order from them again if the opportunity arises. Thank you so much!

Q: Rspec does not work correctly with Rails3, FactoryGirl I am trying to get Rspec up and running but ran into the following issue when calling rspec spec from the command line:
Failure/Error: Unable to find matching line from backtrace
     undefined method `request=' for #<Name:0x000001033c1be0>

This seems to be an issue with a combination of certain gems but I cannot figure out what´s wrong with my setup:
Here it is:
rails -v
Rails 3.0.9
ruby -v
ruby 1.9.2p180 (2011-02-18 revision 30909) [x86_64-darwin10.7.0]
rvm -v
rvm 1.6.2

My Gemfile looks like this (I skip irrelevant gems):
group :development, :test do
 gem 'factory_girl_rails'
 gem 'rspec-rails', '~> 2.6'
 gem 'webrat'
end

Addition:
I added the following line to spec_helper.rb, in order to fix the error that is described here.
config.include RSpec::Rails::ControllerExampleGroup

Any hints?

A: In the meanwhile I solved the issue.
The above described issue occured when I set up my first controller test.
describe MyController do
  describe "#index" do
    it "responses successfully" do
      get :index
      response.should be_success
    end
  end
end

To get rid of the problem I had to move the above mentioned line from spec_helper directly into the ControllerSpec.
describe MyController do
  include RSpec::Rails::ControllerExampleGroup

  describe "#index" do
    it "responses successfully" do
      get :index
      response.should be_success
    end
  end
end

Go back to work ;-)

As with any parent I want our children to do well at school.
I dread them eventually coming home with a school report stating they are the class clown or exam results which are much lower than expected.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not a pushy parent and I don't expect them to get straight A's (although that would be nice), but its something I desperately hope for.
I have been thinking recently about any ways we can influence a passion for learning so early on in their lives.
So far Charles seems to enjoy learning. He particularly loves learning about space and can name the majority of the planets and point them out if shown pictures.
He also, typical boy I suppose, loves dinosaurs and regularly looks through my husbands "dinosaur book" [a book that accompanied the Walking with Dinosaurs television series] and is interested generally at finding out how things work, what certain things do.
I just wonder how we then take this further and continue this desire to learn so when he goes to school he isn't too distracted by everything going on around him.
I want learning to be fun.
When I think back on my school life I remember more about lessons from Primary school than middle or high school. Most of these lessons being History.
I'm looking forward to the day Charles and Harry come home telling me what they've learnt about the Greeks, Romans, Saxons and Vikings. Volcanoes, Earthquakes, Tornados and Hurricanes.
My husband likes watching Documentary channels and involves Charles in watching these too. He explains what's happening, the effects of what's happening etc and Charles really seems to "get it" sometimes. He will be really into what he's watching and then come over and tell me all about it.
I want to carry this interest and enthusiasm on for as long as possible and encourage as much as I can until they get to school and go it alone in a sense.
We are going to the National Space Centre next month and we've been talking to Charles about it for a long time.
We keep mentioning about seeing a rocket and spaceship but also make sure we mention the learning side of the centre and he seems really excited about it. In fact he mentions it everyday which we [my husband and I] love because to us, it means we're doing a good job.

Outsourcing - Why is it still a four-letter word in some firms?
Outsourcing – Why is it still a four-letter word in some firms?
With 70% of law firms outsourcing a portion of their back office and 45% considering outsourcing some middle office functions, it is clear that outsourcing is on the rise for law firms. This is because, when executed correctly, it can be an excellent management tool to increase service levels, broaden talent and manage costs.
There are still some firms which are reluctant to embrace the financial and operational benefits of outsourcing; these firms may have anecdotal evidence of an outsourcing engagement gone 'wrong' or executed incorrectly. These anecdotes should not be dismissed and every firm considering outsourcing needs to carefully weigh the needs of their firm culture to the demands of a rapidly changing marketplace. However, when outsourcing situations are structured properly attuned to your firm's needs with the "right" vendor–it creates a win-win-win situation for the firm, the vendor and most importantly, the employees.
My company has worked with firms that outsourced in-house processes very successfully and have seen others where the process did not go as well as it should have, primarily because the focus was on immediate savings and poor decision making.

Excellent Sheep: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
by Zak Slayback / 2 Comments / 811 View / September 16, 2014

[section_title title=New page title]
Contemptuous and Contradictory
Deresiewicz exhorts students to stop working within the system (e.g., going to work for a nonprofit in the summer, coming home to do a mission trip to Guatemala in the Spring, etc.) in one paragraph, but goes on to disparage them for not working in the textbook-system he romanticizes: politics. In this truly strange contradiction, he decries working for startups and nonprofits, and then goes on to say why students should run for public office and engage in political work.
If anything, the fact that fewer young people are engaging in politics is a sign that they are working outside the system. They're creating their own systems and innovating new solutions. Isn't this the definition of working outside of the system? Politics is a remarkably slow and easily-corruptible way of (not) getting things done, so why romanticize it? Young people have thrown off the psychological chains of Generation X and the Baby Boomers — they have seen how politics works slowly and usually just to screw them over at the behest of Deresiewicz's generation and retirees. If he should give credit to young people anywhere in the book, it is here. If anything, fewer elite graduates should get involved with politics, not more.
There's a sort of contempt expressed by his tone towards entrepreneurs and startups (but not "social entrepreneurs," weirdly enough). In one section, he says young people shouldn't go out to "solve a problem," unless that involves "social entrepreneurship," like inventing an app to make your local government more effective. For-profit entrepreneurship, he says, is merely "taking an advantage of an opportunity," a claim he fails to defend before moving on. What Deresiewicz doesn't realize is that market opportunities identified by entrepreneurs are almost always problems to be solved. Entrepreneurs, whether they are opening up a bakery or inventing Uber, solve problems and create value. They make lives better for others and make the world easier to navigate. Why he is so quick to laud teaching, academia, and social entrepreneurship while disparaging for-profit entrepreneurship is beyond me. If anything, it just further exposes his lack of basic economic literacy and further backs up the complaint that many have against the academy as not being "the real world."
He also seems to think that the only life in which somebody can do philosophizing is the life of a liberal arts major. Here it is clear that Deresiewicz has never actually talked to an entrepreneur, as the vast majority I have are not only value-creators, but they are simultaneously incredibly philosophical people. They know how to identify problems and synthesize new solutions (the core of a philosophical mindset) and many are well-read in the humanities, though they may not devote their lives to them.
The question arises: why not laud both social and for-profit entrepreneurship? The jabs the author makes at the latter are totally unnecessary to his case and only work to make him look detached from the world he is begging young people to understand holistically.
For Whom The Bell Tolls?
There is a chapter titled "What is College For?" A good question and one which requires dispassionate analysis. That is nowhere to be found in this book. Assertion after assertion, Deresiewicz says college is for becoming a fuller person. He says college is the place to study the liberal arts (without ever considering whether or not that can be done outside a college atmosphere). He operates with a romanticized view of the academy — of one that is announced every year by liberal arts professors defending their disciplines in newspaper columns.
But most students don't view college that way. If Deresiewicz wants to say they should view college that way, he has to make a stronger case than he does. To illustrate this point, consider an analogy.
"What is exercise for?" is a silly question if analyzed the way Deresiewicz analyzes college. Exercise is for what the person who is exercising wants it to be. If they want to exercise to lose weight, that is what it is for. If they want to exercise because it makes them feel better, that is what it is for. How people exercise is up to them, as well. Some people focus on cardio for their specific needs, while others focus in strength training. If somebody were to come along and tell exercisers, "no, exercise is for becoming your full human potential!" that would seem absurd. For some it may be this, but for others it may not.
In the case of college, most students pursue an education for the degree. They want the degree because it will help them get a job. As noted above, the degree shows employers that they have passed a baseline and that they are a minimally-acceptable candidate.
If that is not what Deresiewicz thinks college should be for, then he has a much greater cultural issue to overcome than just telling elite students not to go to school. Why not encourage people to become lifelong learners outside of the college paradigm? Why not question the entire system? He exhorts students to think big and work outside the system, but falls back into small, system-based thinking himself.
Excellent Sheep has sections that are worth reading, and can be an enjoyable book at times, but the reasoning and argumentation behind it is flimsy and frustrating. Once one digs through the literary fluff that makes up a good half of the book, one walks away dissatisfied.
If a reader is interested in something on each of Deresiewicz's main goals — the unfulfilled lives of young people, finding one's passions, and higher education reform — there are better books out there. Consider Peter Gray's Free to Learn, Roman Krznaric's How to Find Fulfilling Work, and Bryan Caplan's forthcoming The Case Against Education.

Ratings: Fox's 'Brooklyn Nine-Nine,' 'Mindy Project' Comedy Block Sees Boost on CBS Rerun Night

Tony Maglio | January 22, 2014 @ 9:09 AM	Last Updated: July 10, 2014 @ 7:08 PM
NBC topped Tuesday in the key ratings demo on a night where the Fox comedy lineup saw an across-the-board double-digit percentage boost.
CBS was in reruns, though it still finished the the night first in viewers. ABC, kicking off primetime with a "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." repeat, fell behind Univision and The CW in ratings.
NBC was first in ratings with a 1.9 rating/5 share in the advertiser-coveted 18-49 demographic and second in total viewers with an average of 6.8 million, according to preliminary numbers.

The September 18 double-issue of Time Magazine profiles 46 living women pioneers – among them Rita Dove, the former U.S. poet laureate and current Anisfield-Wolf Award juror.
The list brims with astronauts and actresses, athletes and ambassadors, and a Nobel laureate in molecular biology. The only person to make the cut as a writer is Dove. Drawing from her years growing up in Akron, Ohio, she transformed American letters with Thomas and Beulah, her groundbreaking poetry collection inspired by her grandparents.
Dove mentions this book in the first sentence of her Time Magazine essay, which appears under the headline "Raising hackles means you are not being ignored."
In the last paragraph, Dove, 65, writes, "Although I am not a confrontational person by nature, racism and sexism are still very much alive, and whenever I encounter prejudice, I tackle the issues and move on, refusing to be sidetracked by hate or bitterness. When I was a young poet, my work was considered 'slight' by some male critics. The sexist tone was undeniable, although difficult to corroborate."
Brazilian photographer Luisa Dorr photographed the pioneers on her iPhone, positioning Dove outdoors, framed by what appears to be a tree in winter. Time Magazine editor Nancy Gibbs writes of the cohort, "Some striking themes
emerged – the importance of joy, the fierce motivational force of failure, the satisfaction of successes both achieved and shared."
Dove shared a variety of that satisfaction of success in Cleveland September 7 during the 82nd Anisfield-Wolf Book Awards, where she helped honor the newest honorees. She remains masterful in cultivating young writers, both as a juror and as the Commonwealth Professor of English at the University of Virginia.
"Whatever I pursue – writing poetry or teaching or speaking in public – I want to be excited by the challenge," Dove states, "curious about where life might next lead me."

Where Great-grandfather trod
As reported in the Monte San Martino newsletter in spring 2008, Pippa Wentzel, a pupil of Benenden School, planned that summer to retrace the escape of her great-grandfather, Brigadier George Younghusband, from an Italian prisoner of war camp to Switzerland after the Armistice in September 1943. Armed with his diaries, and after researching the National Archives at Kew, Pippa carried out her intention, along with two companions, Hattie Gough and Frances Howe. Below, she reports on a successful and uplifting journey, during which she was able to thank descendants of those who had helped her great-grandfather.
Pippa, Hattie and Frances also raised the magnificent sum of £4,328 in sponsorship for the Monte San Martino Trust, for which the Trust is enormously grateful.
"We began our trip in Piacenza, near Milan, in the hope that we would be able to locate Camp 29 where my great-grandfather had been held at the time of the Italian capitulation in October 1942. On our first full day we set off into the hills armed with a map and a very poor grasp of Italian, looking for the tiny village of Veano where we knew the camp had been.
The countryside was beautiful but the sun merciless as we embarked on what we feared might be a wild-goose chase; after all, we were not even sure the camp still existed, or that we would be able to identify it. After several hours, however, we arrived, and quickly made for the most imposing building in the village.
Just as we were giving up hope of knowing for certain that the building was the one we sought, an elderly Italian emerged on a motorbike. We eagerly flagged him down and, despite our linguistic shortcomings, managed to gain confirmation that the ‑ rather beautiful – building had indeed been first a monastery, then a prisoner of war camp. He even offered to show us around the inside of the building, and he pointed out the places where escape attempts had been made, and where the captives would have slept and eaten.
The next day we took an early train for Lake Como, and from there we travelled by boat to Moltrasio, the small fishing town further down the lake, where George Younghusband had been met by his guides and taken over Mount Bisbino. The village really was extraordinary and seemed simply to grow out of the steep mountain which plunged directly into the water. Due to its narrow streets and sharp angles no cars could enter the village, meaning that the place can't have changed much since 1943. The following morning we had the unusual experience of being welcomed to Moltrasio officially by the local authorities including the mayor, the British Consul from Milan and even the local press. It was certainly exciting to see our story in print the next day!
The Moltrasian community had been hugely active in organising the passage of Allied servicemen over the mountain and into Switzerland during the war, despite the seriousness of the risk. I don't think we had quite realised before this event the depth of local feeling surrounding the war and the resistance to the Germans.
The fact that we were taking an interest in the role of the community clearly meant a great deal and we were showered with presents and mementos from Moltrasio. A surprisingly large number of locals came to meet us, and all of them wanted to thank us for coming back after all these years, while of course we were the ones who needed to be thanking them!
The nephew of the guide who had led George Younghusband over the mountain was also present and we were glad to have the opportunity to express our gratitude. Later that day we learned that the guide, Signor Del Vecchio, had actually been shot by Fascists in 1945 for helping people in the same situation as my great-grandfather, which made the whole experience far more poignant.
That afternoon, we set off for the mountain refuge where we believe, judging by his diaries, that George Younghusband stayed the night before crossing the border. The next morning we were introduced to three men who were old hands at crossing the border into Switzerland – the eldest was 84 years old – who had kindly volunteered to show us the path. Every now and then one of them would stop and point to the ground saying 'Bisnonno, ecco' ('Great-grandfather, here' – indicating that he would almost certainly have trod exactly the same path as we were taking. The rusty remains of the border fence were still there and the guides explained that there would have been soldiers stationed along it, making the crossing both difficult and dangerous.
Once in Switzerland we made our way to Chiasso, a fairly large Swiss city near the Italian border, where we stayed the night before heading back to Milan the next morning for our flight.
The visit was a greater success than any of us could have expected, and really confirmed the importance of the work of the Monte San Martino Trust. We saw how important the community's wartime experiences still are to it, and realised what a debt of gratitude we still owe to the countless ordinary Italians who so selflessly helped those like my great-grandfather, despite all the risks and dangers."

in the city of sharjah, united arab emirates, many people do not use maps to navigate. instead, they rely on visual clues, word-of-mouth, and draw upon their own or their community's past experience to know where to go and what to do. maps are mostly used by tourists and by professionals involved in producing and maintaining the built environment. so the new york based artists alexis bhagat and lize mogel got involved in the 'sharjah infocart' project where they asked residents of the region for their assistance in creating a map that is very different from the one made for non-locals. the cart traveled to various public locations throughout the city in january and will be compiled by and for residents of sharjah, adding a layer of personal history and memory over a base map of the city.
in late 2010, the new york duo contacted kevin mitchell to discuss the design of a cart to assist in the collection of data for the mapping project that would exhibited at the sharjah biennial during the spring of 2011. kevin mitchell assembled a team of present and former students from the american university of sharjah including wasib mahmood (team coordinator); enayatollah javad ghaedi; heba helmy hammad; saeid abdolaziz khezri; and naji muneer. mogel and bhagat charged the team with designing a product that would attract attention, be readily identifiable, and facilitate the distribution and collection of data in the form of paper-based surveys.
the product had to be mobile (to cover shorter distances around the city) and transportable (by a small truck over longer distances). the final design resulted from collaborations between mogel, bhagat and the team via skype and late-night meetings around a laptop, a digital projector, tracing paper and tea. fabrication required early morning meetings in an open-air workshop (and would not have been possible without the skillful intervention of honorary team member farah alqedra).


Recently I was asked to paint some murals for a library renovation being funded by the Ravens Foundation for Charles Carroll Barrister Elementary in Pigtown, Downtown Baltimore. I was thrilled! I was able to paint four areas, all on canvas, and help create a warm and inviting environment for the students of CCB to read and learn. Special thanks to Nancy Pascale and Warren Wunder for having faith in me to accomplish this project in such a short amount of time. And special thanks to Mary Landavere for helping paint all those stadium seats! Oh, and I can't forget Shelly Wilkins and Larry Stroup for their work hanging the murals.
Parasites, Paint, and Friendship...oh my!
A few weeks ago Stacey and I, with the help of our amazing paper hanger Shelly Wilkins of Walls Etc., installed the final panel of the BRI mural. If you missed the progress, read about it here.
We started the project back in October and little did I know how good it would be for my healing. Stacey is a very unique person. She is wise beyond her years, extremely talented, patient, and persistent. In her words it was "bashert" destined, predetermined, meant to be. This project landed at the perfect time. She was supposed to get a different project, slated to start earlier but that one fell through. This one came along and Stacey needed help and a place to work on this large piece.
A month after my mom's passing we began the mural. The days were filled with painting and discussions about so many things like death, religion, spirituality, relationships, food, travel and love. It was great to just show up and paint and not worry about clients and business things. We also learned new techniques from each other. I taught her how to glaze and she taught me how to see beyond the reference material. Stacey also met my studio neighbors and commented on what a great place the West End is, how we check in on each other and help one another with things. I think she would move in if she could!
The mural itself is spectacular. It shows the people affected by the debilitating parasitic disease Shistosomiasis. The mural depicts a family doing their daily chores of washing and filling bottles of water at a local pond. Stacey meticulously illustrates how the disease infiltrates the body and its devastating consequences if left untreated. The second half of the mural (executed first) shows the work being done by BRI in facilitating a mechanism for a vaccine through the doors of the "hut" and lastly the people walking away, immune now from Shistosomiasis.
Here are some more images of areas I painted.
I was so happy to see this work installed and ready to move on to the next project but also a bit sad that our daily talks would come to an end. Stacey's next project is working on her son Jonah's Bar-Mitzvah and my next project involves glass, paint, and metal leaf. We will have to have regular lunch dates in order alleviate our withdrawal symptoms.

12th President of the Philippines
Fidel Valdez Ramos was the 12th President of the Philippines. He succeeded Corazon Aquino and governed until 1998, when he was succeeded by Joseph Estrada. The first half of Ramos' six-year term as President was characterized by rapid economic growth and political stability in the country despite facing communist insurgencies, an Islamic separatist movement in Mindanao, and the onslaught of the 1997 Asian financial crisis.
"One of the Greatest Presidents of all time"
He is currently the Chairman of Ramos Peace and Development (RPDEV) Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to the promotion of peace and development in the Philippines and in the larger Asia-Pacific region, supporting national interests and people empowerment. He remains an outspoken critic of the governments that succeeded his and continues to be an influential force in Philippine political life.
President Ramos offers a unique and interesting perspective on what's coming ahead in the Asia Pacific region. He speaks in great detail about topics such as regional economic integration, political challenges and US Asia relations. He also offers audiences remarkable insights into the principles of people empowerment and effective leadership techniques.

Q: How do I use variable names in hyperlinks? I have tried using the following Python code to create hyperlinks using openpyxl in Python. I tried using variable names but got the error "Reference isn't valid". I also tried using Excel Sheet names with spaces in them which is valid in Excel but the openpyxl hyper link command does not seem to work with them. Finding code examples for openpyxl has been challenging also. Here is the code:
from openpyxl import load_workbook

xlsFile = 'e:\\exceltest1.xlsx'
wbook = load_workbook(xlsFile)
Sheet7Name = "Sheet7"
worksheet7 = wbook.create_sheet(title=Sheet7Name)
worksheet9 = wbook.create_sheet(title="Sheet9")
worksheet10 = wbook.create_sheet(title="Sheet 10")
worksheet7.cell(row=3, column=4, value="Go to A1 s9 from D3 s7").hyperlink = '#Sheet9!A1'
worksheet7.cell(row=1, column=1, value="Go to D3 s9 from A1 s7").hyperlink = '#Sheet9!D3'
worksheet7.cell(row=2, column=1, value="Go to A3 s9 from A2 s7").hyperlink = '#Sheet9!A3'
worksheet7.cell(row=4, column=5, value="Go to E6 s7  from E4 s7").hyperlink = '#Sheet7Name!E6'
worksheet7.cell(row=6, column=5, value="Go to E4 s7 from E6 s7").hyperlink = '#Sheet7Name!E4'
worksheet9.cell(row=4, column=1, value="Go to A7 s7 from A4 s9").hyperlink = '#Sheet7Name!A7'
worksheet9.cell(row=3, column=4, value="Go to A1 s9 from D3 s9").hyperlink = '#Sheet9!A1'
worksheet9.cell(row=1, column=1, value="Go to D3 s9 from A1 s9").hyperlink = '#Sheet9!D3'
worksheet9.cell(row=2, column=1, value="Go to A3 s9 from A2 s9").hyperlink = '#Sheet9!A3'
worksheet10.cell(row=2, column=1, value="Go to A3 s10 from A2 s10").hyperlink = '#Sheet 10!A3'
wbook.save(xlsFile)

A: You can try this - to link cell 1 in Sheet1 to A1 cell in Sheet9:
file_name = "your-excel-file.xlsx"
wb = load_workbook(file_name)
ws1 = wb['Sheet1']

# Create hyperlink to relevant cell
link = file_name+"#Sheet9!A1"

ws1.cell(row=1, column=1).hyperlink = link
ws1.cell(row=1, column=1).value = "Refer to Sheet 9 - Cell A1"
ws1.cell(row=1, column=1).style = "Hyperlink"

wb.save(file_name)

And do it for the rest cells you want to hyperlink.
EDIT: replaced wb.get_sheet_by_name('Sheet1') with ws1 = wb['Sheet1'] because DeprecationWarning.

It is a puzzle that has perplexed physicists for decades: hold a strand of dry spaghetti at both ends, bend it until it snaps, and you will always end up with three or more pieces.
In 2005, researchers in France finally discovered why: after the initial break, the brittle stick flexes back in the opposite direction, snapping itself again.
Yet a lingering question mark still hovered over the culinary conundrum. Was it possible, with the right technique, to snap a strand of spaghetti into two pieces?
After breaking apart hundreds of pieces of pasta in a specially-constructed apparatus, a team of mathematicians led by Jörn Dunkel at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have concluded it is possible, provided you add a twist into the mix.
Using a pair of clamps, they twisted strands of spaghetti almost 360 degrees before bringing the two clamps together until the strand broke. With this method, the found they could reliably snap the spaghetti into just two pieces.
In an effort to understand why, they used a high speed camera that recorded the shattering pasta at a million frames per second. The twist prevented the two bent strands flexing back quite as forcefully as an untwisted strand, and the untwisting motion released some of the stored energy in the spaghetti, further reducing the likelihood of a second fracture.
Why do physicists keep coming back to the spaghetti challenge? "It's just one of those intrinsically interesting things that goes on around us," says Dunkel.

the node test is deleted from the bst. The problem is that I can't access the private members from Node and also can't access members of class BinSTree. BinSTree is a class that contains the root of a binary tree.Node is a class that represents a node.

A: You don't have access to members of BinSTree because first of all your operator>> does not operate on BinSTree at all - it operates on std::fstream& and Node*.
What your code provides is a function for "extracting" Node*s from a std::fstream - it has no relation whatsoever with BinSTree.
The correct signature for the operator you want is
void operator>>(BinSTree& tree, Node* p)

or
BinSTree& void operator>>(BinSTree& tree, Node* p)

(the latter would allow you to chain node extractions).


Travels of William Bartram is the familiar title by which the 522-page volume by naturalist William Bartram (1739-1823) is generally referred. The work documents his four-year journey through large portions of the Southeast, much of which he and his naturalist father John Bartram had visited during William's youth, sometimes making their headquarters with relatives in Bladen County.
Published by subscription in Philadelphia in 1791, Bartram's account was officially titled Travels through North & South Carolina, Georgia, East & West Florida, the Cherokee Country, the Extensive Territories of the Muscogulgles, or Creek Confederacy, and the Country of the Chactaws; Containing an Account of the Soil and Natural Productions of Those Regions, together with Observations on the Manners of the Indians. Bartram made a very careful study of plants and animals, discovering new species in some cases and treating all with a reverence and awe stemming from his Quaker upbringing, which taught him that God's creations were perfect and right. He also recorded the customs and history of the Seminole, Cherokee, and Creek Indian Nations, becoming one of the earliest white authorities on these peoples. Though Bartram's interests as a naturalist were broad, his descriptions of alligators are particularly memorable. His accounts of a female alligator's care of her eggs and young and of the struggle to the death of two very large alligators illustrate both his observational skills and his exceptional literary talent.
Having received a classical education at the Philadelphia Academy, Bartram became a careful author and artist; his skill enabled him to record his observations with both words and brush. His Travels is an early example of the style of nature writing that combined scientific observation and documentation with anecdotes and personal impressions of the natural world and its inhabitants. Bartram received both criticism and praise for his brilliant combination of scientific and religious ideas and for employing not only a scientific vocabulary but also lyrical description and everyday language to communicate his observations. His work had an immense impact in the scientific community as well as among philosophers, writers, and the general public in America and abroad. In fact, Romantic poets William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge drew from his descriptions, while naturalist writer Henry David Thoreau was influenced by his merging of science and poetry in unabashed admiration of the natural world. Bartram himself became an adviser to younger naturalists of his own day as well as an advocate of a distinctively American scientific identity. Contemporary ecologists and historians still refer to his Travels for its meticulous descriptions of nature and Indian society.

Can something so simple actually solve your problems? Well, perhaps, yes. Do you know when and why you should restart your computer?
We don't often think of computers as needing a chance to rest, but in some ways, we can. We need to remember, however, that sleep mode for a computer is not the same as sleep for you and me, and it does not have the same effect as shutting it down. In sleep mode, there are still processes that are kept running in the background.
Shutting your computer down periodically is important to keep it running at its best. If you are running an old version of Windows, this becomes even more important. Computers running newer versions, as well as Mac computers, can get away with less frequent shut downs, but with an old version, your computers should be shut down nightly.
Your computer stores temporary files from various programs when running. This can gradually eat up memory space, so that it is quite normal for a computer that has been running for a long period of time to begin slowing down. If your computer has been running for a week or more and you are experiencing performance issues, you and your IT team may not need to do any real troubleshooting; restarting the computer may solve the issue by freeing up memory.
As mentioned above, you may need to restart your computer as often as every night, but there are other times where it may be warranted as well, such as when a program stops responding. At times, your computer may be completely frozen, and you will find yourself unable to restart it.
To force your computer to shut down, you may simply hold the power button for several seconds, causing the computer to shut down, after which you may simply hit the power button again to restart. If doing this fails to resolve your issues, then it may be appropriate to call your IT department.
Restarting your computer isn't just called for during slowdowns or freezes, however. There are other times that it is required, such as after installing a Windows update. There are also many other programs that will ask you to restart your computer following an update or installation.
If you have downloaded an update and you realize that it has not yet come into effect, it is quite possible that you simply need to restart your system to resolve the issue.
Another situation that might be resolved by restarting is when you are having issues with network drives, such as not being able to connect to one or more of them. By restarting your computer, you will be forcing it to make another attempt at connecting.
Restarting might also solve certain hardware issues, such as when your system is running hot, or its fan is making an unusual amount of noise. If your computer is simply working too hard, rebooting it may be enough to refresh it and allow it to cool down.
While restarting your computer may seem like a very simple thing to do, it can be useful in several situations and may resolve a surprising number of issues. Best of all, it may help you avoid time-consuming troubleshooting either by resolving the issue, or by letting your IT team narrow down the issue when they realize that a restart was ineffective.
Give your computers a break now and then. And you just might find that—like people—they will work more efficiently.

Song-and-dance gala brings life to Children's Day
By Yan Dongjie | China Daily | Updated: 2017-06-02 08:10

The Chinese teen boy band TFBoys and Connie Talbot joined children from Italy, Russia, Pakistan, Kazakhstan and China, singing and dancing to celebrate International Children's Day in a gala show on China Central Television on Thursday.
Talbot, the 16-year-old vocalist who won fame on the reality show Britain's Got Talent in 2007, sang an English song, Cups-When I'm Gone, followed by Elfins, a new song by Wang Yuan and Yi Yangqianxi, members of TFBoys.
Wang Junkai, the other member of TFBoys, was absent. He was preparing for the college entrance examination next week.
Wang Yuan and Yi wished a happy Children's Day to kids all around the world, saying, "We should all do something that makes us happy ... study hard and also have fun".
They also wished "Good luck!" to their team leader and best friend, Wang Junkai, as well as all the students who are going to take the exams this year.
Children from countries involved in the Belt and Road Initiative sang famous local songs in their own languages, such as Molihua from China, Kalinka from Russia, A Colorful Day from Italy, My Prairie from Kazakhstan and Let's Dance from Pakistan.
Hundreds of children from different countries then came together onstage to sing The Same Song in Chinese.
"This is about music making everyone come together from different countries," says Talbot. "It can represent the universal language for everyone and tie people closer."
International Children's Day is celebrated on June 1 in China and nearly 50 other countries. Some countries celebrate Children's Day on other days.
Talbot says the celebration is not as big in the United Kingdom as it is in Beijing.
"But we do have a Charity Base day, also called the Children's Day, when people wear bears to raise money for charity for children," she adds.
The tradition of celebrating the occasion with a CCTV Children's Gala spans more than 30 years. This year, children and teenagers from more than 10 countries were invited to Beijing to perform in the gala.
"We tend to make the celebration more international, give children around the world an opportunity to communicate, open up Chinese children's eyes and also let foreign kids learn more about China," says Yin Yongbin, director of the gala.
Virginia Franga and Francesca Zucchini, two 11-year-old girls from the Italian children's choir Piccolo Coro "Mariele Ventre" dell'Antoniano in Bologna, made some Chinese friends when rehearsing for the gala.
Giampaolo Cavalli, director of the choir, says he feels people are becoming closer since the Belt and Road Initiative was proposed by President Xi Jinping in 2013.
Cavalli is from Venice, an important port city on the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road. This is Cavalli's third visit to China, and he is eager to come back more often with children's choirs.
"We see more stories coming to Venice from China. It's like Marco Polo's journey to China more than 700 years ago," says Cavalli.

Q: How does the race condition in TOCTOU work? The following code is supposed to be vulnerable to TOCTOU attack:
 public Period(final Date start, final Date end) {
    if (start.compare(end) > 0) {
       throw new IllegalArgumentException("");
    }

    this.start = start;
    this.end = end;      // Class period has 2 private final member
                         // variables Date start & end.

 }

What I fail to understand is that how will this race condition work? Say there are 2 threads T1 and T2 where T1 has a valid set of arguments and should pass the check and T2 is a hacker who wants to set invalid values in the class.
If 2 threads are racing and this piece of code is our critical section, then say T1 runs passes the check and sleeps. Now when T2 will start running won't it go through the check again (and fail)??

A: The problem is that Date is mutable, so another thread could change the end date: end.setTime(0); after you have checked that start.after(end) (easier way to write your condition).
So it would look like:

*

*T1: start.after(end) => returns false, all looks good

*T2: end.setTime(0); => sneaky Thread 2 changes the date

*T1: this.start = start; this.end = end; //boom => your class invariant is not valid anymore

Q: Running a react app built with Webpack 2 and code splitting. Not working when I just have static files So I've built a lovely react app. It's using Webpack 2 and code splitting, now I've built it and I have an index.html and a bunch of JS apps (bundle.js , 1.bundle.js and so on) in a build folder. I expected to just be able to statically serve these assets on a server that doesn't require node. (This is a requirement).
Have I got this wrong ?
Regards.

A: I don't think you should have a problem serving static files. The way webpack builds the bundles innately runs the logic for loading your other bundles. I have been using Webpack 2 for this exact same thing, serving static files, and while not a React App, it works very well and should work the same here unless there's some important fact you've omitted. Perhaps you could share the error that is occuring?


Hermes Replica Handbags In other words, you can turn off the breaker to a light or plug and still find an active hot lead in the electric box that you are working on. When we decide to work on a circuit and don't want to turn the entire house off, we typically open the junction box in question and test every single wire to absolutely ensure that the power is off before we reach in to touch anything. By the way, turning the light off at the switch does not necessarily turn the power off to the wires in the light box in the ceiling Hermes Replica Handbags.


In March, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the second and third of a new class of drugs called protease inhibitors. Protease inhibitors are compounds that block the protease enzyme of HIV, thereby preventing the production of infectious viral particles. Other anti-HIV drugs known as nucleoside analogues (AZT, ddI, ddC, d4T, 3TC) target a different viral enzyme, reverse transcriptase.
Ritonavir (Norvir, Abbott Laboratories) received full approval for use alone or in combination with nucleoside analogue medications such as AZT in patients with advanced HIV disease. Early work on discovery of protease inhibitors at Abbott was partially supported through NIAID's National Cooperative Drug Discovery Groups for Treatment of HIV (NCDDG-HIV).
Ritonavir also received accelerated approval for patients with less advanced HIV disease. Accelerated approval is a regulatory mechanism under which FDA grants conditional marketing approval for a product based on improvements in laboratory markers such as CD4+ T cell counts, with the stipulation that information on clinical endpoints such as disease progression or mortality subsequently be obtained in these patients.
Indinavir (Crixivan, Merck) received accelerated approval for monotherapy and combination therapy for the treatment of HIV infection in adults when therapy is warranted. FDA based its approval for indinavir on data showing that the drug improves laboratory markers such as CD4+ T cell counts and viral load in patients at various stages of disease.
A number of studies suggest that protease inhibitors, especially when given in combination with other drugs, can provide significant benefits to HIV-infected people," says Anthony S. Fauci, M.D., NIAID director. "The concept and feasibility of protease inhibitors grew in part out of NIAID-supported basic research, and is an excellent example of research supported by government and industry, working together to benefit patients."
The discovery and definition of the importance of the HIV protease enzyme.
The definition of the structure of the HIV protease enzyme.
The development of assays to measure the inhibition of the HIV protease enzyme.
"NIAID-supported research set the stage for a number of companies to do what the pharmaceutical industry does best: identifying and developing specific medications and ultimately bringing them to market," says Jack Killen, M.D., director of the NIAID Division of AIDS. "Now, with the potent activity of protease inhibitors well-established, NIAID is working with several companies on other research opportunities."
Central to the FDA approval of the new protease inhibitors were data presented at the 3rd Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections in Washington, D.C., in late January. Abstracts from this conference are available on the internet at www.idsociety.com.
Among these studies, Abbott scientists presented data from an ongoing phase III clinical trial of ritonavir that enrolled more than 1,000 antiretroviral-experienced HIV-infected patients with 100 or fewer CD4+ T cells per cubic millimeter (mm3) of blood (abstract LB6a). In this study, mortality after six months for HIV-infected patients receiving a combination of ritonavir and standard therapy was approximately 43 percent lower than for patients receiving standard therapy alone.
In a separate, open-label study, untreated HIV-infected individuals with CD4+ T cell counts below 250/mm3 received a triple combination of ritonavir plus AZT and ddC. Study investigators noted marked increases in CD4+ T cell counts and significant decreases in viral load in 21 patients who tolerated treatment for at least six months (abstract 285).
"Although these findings are very encouraging, they do not indicate if ritonavir will be clinically beneficial when used long term or in patients with less advanced disease," says Dr. Fauci. "Continued follow-up and additional studies are necessary to answer these questions."
Adverse events associated with ritonavir treatment have included diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, weakness, tingling, liver inflammation, elevation of lipid levels and taste disturbance, according to the FDA. The drug should not be used with many highly metabolized medications; physicians and patients are advised to read the package label closely to assure that potentially severe drug interactions are avoided.
At the Washington meeting, Merck-supported scientists presented new data from studies involving indinavir, alone and in combination with nucleoside analogues. In one small study, the combination of indinavir, AZT and 3TC dramatically reduced the amount of HIV in the bloodstream of antiretroviral-experienced patients with initial CD4+ T cell counts between 50 and 400 cells/mm3 (abstract LB7). After 12 weeks of treatment with this triple combination, levels of HIV decreased in 22 of 25 patients to amounts that could no longer be detected by a currently available test. Nine of 22 patients taking indinavir alone also achieved this result. Similar results were seen in a small number of patients who had reached the 24-week point in the ongoing trial.
In another study, of 78 AZT-naive individuals with CD4+ T cell counts below 500/mm3, 60 percent of patients taking the combination of indinavir, ddI and AZT had levels of HIV that were reduced to undetectable levels after 24 weeks (abstract 200).
"Further research will help determine whether these dramatic reductions in viral burden will translate to clinical benefit," says Dr. Fauci. "I want to stress that reducing the level of virus to the point that it can no longer be detected does not indicate that a patient is cured or that the virus has been completely destroyed."
Adverse reactions associated with indinavir therapy have included flank pain, blood in urine or kidney stones, which together have occurred in about 2 to 4 percent of patients in current trials. Patients taking indinavir are encouraged to drink water regularly to maintain hydration. Drug interactions with rifabutin and ketoconazole have been reported.
The first licensed protease inhibitor, saquinavir (Invirase, Hoffmann La Roche), was approved for use in conjunction with nucleoside analogues by the Food and Drug Administration in December 1995. Pivotal to the approval of saquinavir were data from an NIAID-sponsored clinical trial known as AIDS Clinical Trials Group (ACTG) 229.
In addition to the three companies with licensed protease inhibitors, several other companies have similar products in advanced stages of clinical development.
"As newer and more powerful anti-HIV therapies become available, and we further define the optimal use of currently licensed drugs, we move closer to our goal of prolonging the disease-free state in HIV-infected people," says Dr. Fauci.

Beto O'Rourke on Third-Trimester Abortions: 'That Should Be a Decision That the Woman Makes'
Democratic presidential candidate Beto O'Rourke was recently at a campaign event in Cleveland, and was asked his opinion on third-trimester abortions.
A woman in the crowd asked,
[lborder]
Are you for third-trimester abortion? Are you gonna protect the lives of third-trimester babies? Because there's really not a medical necessity for abortion. It's not a medical emergency procedure, because typically third-trimester abortions take up to three days to have, so you would, in that sense, if there was an emergency, the doctors would just do a C-Section, and you don't have to kill the baby in that [instance]. So, are you for or against third-trimester abortions?
[/lborder]
Though the clip cuts off before O'Rourke appears to give his full answer, he responded, "The question is about abortion and reproductive rights. And, my answer to you is, that should be a decision the woman makes. I trust her."

— Alexandra DeSanctis (@xan_desanctis) March 18, 2019
This morning, he was asked again about third-trimester abortions, and he essentially confirmed his stance, saying, "I think those decisions are best left to a woman and her doctor."
At Penn State today, Beto was asked about his defense of third-trimester abortion. He doubled down: "I think those decisions are best left to a woman and her doctor. I know better than to assume anything about a woman's decision . . . when it comes her to reproductive rights." pic.twitter.com/3JNecJJni0
How to Practice Joy (Even When It's Hard)
The issue of abortion is an important one to many Christian voters, and third-trimester abortions are particularly contentious. Several states have essentially banned abortions after 18 or 20 weeks of pregnancy.
The Supreme Court has ruled that the mother's interests should be protected over fetus until "fetal viability"—the point at which the baby can survive outside of the womb. Many doctors have traditionally viewed the start of the third trimester as the beginning of viability.

Predicting Football Scores: Luck or Knowledge?
Many people fancy themselves good at predicting the outcome of a sporting event. They're always giving it the big one about how they knew that team would win.
Well, in a predictions game that I run with five friends/enemies, there's no room for hindsight. The original predictions game was on the BBC, but unfortunately, at the start of the 2018/19 season, they stopped providing such a game.
So I, with a little convincing (and a small fee), decided to provide the spreadsheet and scoring for our league as we entered our fourth year.
I send out the weekly fixtures to the other guys, and state the deadline. They'll fill it out and send it on back. However, this isn't as simple as just picking a win, loss or draw. Everybody needs to type a score for each game.
For example, a selection may look something like, Liverpool vs Chelsea 2-1. In that instance, if Liverpool win 2-1, the competitor is rewarded three points. If Liverpool win, but it isn't 2-1, then the competitor is given one point. If the game is a draw or Chelsea wins, then they receive absolutely nothing.
Over the season, each one of us will have predicted the scores for a total of 380 games. Come the end of the season, one of the six of us will be able to gloat about winning, and yes, there is a small wager involved. Winner takes all.
So simple, in fact, that my partner, Alexandra, asked if she could join in to see how well she does. It is important to know that Alexandra has practically no knowledge of some of the teams in the Premier League. I commonly hear her say, "I've never even heard of these two teams." I roll my eyes and a bead of sweat trickles down my temple at the thought of her outscoring me. See, she does have a rough idea of more likely results.
Don't ask me why we called it that.
What is your strategy when making predictions?
What do you think is the most important factor when making predictions?
How would you describe your football knowledge?
Current position: 1st. Chance of winning: 8/10.
Current position: 2nd. Chance of winning: 8/10.
Current position: 3rd. Chance of winning: 6/10.
Current position: 4th. Chance of winning: 4/10.
Current position: 6th. Chance of winning: 0/10.
So, in conclusion, clearly luck plays a huge part, but knowledge is definitely more important. Football is one of those games that usually goes according to plan, making it easier for someone with knowledge to take the spoils come the end of the season.
After all, football is not like horse-racing, where seasoned punters spend hours reading the form, only to see an old lady pop in, look through the names of the horses, pick one that she likes the sound of and then go home with a nice little win.
The only hope that I have is that eventually luck runs out, and in the game of predictions, as with life, people with knowledge come out on top.
