Dagnall Back In Contention After Knee Injury
Crewe Alexandra have been handed a boost with the news that our experienced striker Chris Dagnall is set to play some part for the Under-23s against Birmingham City on Tuesday. Dagnall, who has scored seven goals this season, as well as playing in central midfield on occasions, has missed the last six weeks due to a knee injury.
The Liverpool-born Dagnall is now free from the injury and David Artell has admitted that he would have been in contention for a place in the squad that would have faced Forest Green Rovers on Saturday, before its postponement.
The Crewe boss told the club's official website: "Daggers has returned to training and has suffered no reaction. We expect him to play some part against Birmingham on Tuesday. We will see if that is going to be 45, 60, 75 minutes but he will get game time.
"He has been out for a few weeks now but we could have used him as a substitute on Saturday. It would have been for the last 15, 10 minutes but he would have been keen to play.
"We have checked him out and he is fine. Now we just have to see if he is fully capable of coping with the overloading that will come with playing."

Co-op extends British sourcing pledge to frozen range
25th May 2017 / By Alistair Driver
The Co-op has pledged to source all its own-label meat, including frozen and processed products from British farmers from 2018.
This follows the retailer's move to 100% British, including ditching Danish bacon, for its own brand fresh meat in early May.
In a new document published by the retailer, which outlines its plans for the future, retail chief executive Jo Whitfield writes that as a retailer that is 'passionate about supporting local communities', it had a role to play in advocating for British farmers.
"We will only source 100% fresh British meat for our own brand and in 2018, all of our own brand frozen products will also use only 100% British meat," she said.

DMX's Latest Album Features a Song That Seems to Be a Letter to His Oldest Son
By Katie Garrity
Late rapper DMX had a sordid history with drug abuse before his battle with addiction eventually took his life in April 2021. It was reported that when he passed away, he was surrounded by his fiancé and children.
DMX and his oldest son, Xavier, were said to once have a strained and complicated relationship resulting in a few years of being disconnected. Xavier undoubtedly loved his father, but where is DMX's oldest son now? We have the details below.
DMX died from a heart attack reportedly caused by a drug overdose.
On April 2, 2021, DMX — whose real name was Earl Simmons — was rushed to the hospital where it was reported that he had suffered a heart attack. The rapper was said to be in critical condition from the heart attack possibly resulting from a drug overdose.
A post shared by DMX (@dmx)
It was no secret that DMX had struggled with addiction. In a November 2020 interview on People's Party With Talib Kweli, DMX talked about getting tricked into smoking crack at age 14 by his rap mentor, Ready Ron. He said that what he thought was just a marijuana cigarette turned out to be laced with crack.
From there, DMX was in and out of drug rehabilitation centers. Though he made several attempts to get sober, DMX ultimately succumbed to an apparent drug overdose. "We are deeply saddened to announce today that our loved one, DMX, birth name of Earl Simmons, passed away at 50 years old at White Plains Hospital with his family by his side after being placed on life support for the past few days," the family statement read, per People.
A post shared by Xavier Simmons (@xaviersimmons92)
Despite some strained relationships with his children, it seems as though his family came together in DMX's final moments.
DMX and Xavier Simmons attempted to reconcile on reality TV.
DMX's first wife, Tashera Simmons, welcomed four children into the world together including their eldest son, Xavier Simmons, who was reportedly born in 1992.
Through the years, it seemed that the two had struggled to keep a healthy father-son bond. In 2013, DMX appeared on the OWN Network show Iyanla: Fix My Life to try and reconcile with son Xavier. The two hadn't spoken in a year and a half due to Xavier's feelings about his dad's drug addiction.
Xavier expressed that he wanted his dad to get clean so that the two could have a "healthy relationship." Unfortunately, DMX declined his son's request, saying, "If there is going to be a condition, if there is going to be a demand when all I have given you is unconditional love, I'm not going to allow that. I would never put a condition on our love or our relationship."
He added, "I love you. I love who I am. I'm not gonna change for anyone. I have been a great father to you. I smoked weed before you were born. I drank before you were born. I did a lot before you were born. It's sad my son wants nothing for me, and I have so much to offer. I still love you, but that's not gonna fly."
And in his deeply foreboding last words to his son in that meeting, DMX said, "I guess I'll see you at my funeral then." Since the 2013 exchange on Iyanla: Fix My Life, it seemed the two had found common ground. Xavier even posted a photo on Instagram featuring him and his dad in the studio. "In the studio with two legends! And one in the making! Stay tuned," the caption read.
DMX's posthumous song 'Letter to My Son (Call Your Father)' has lyrics that hint it may be about Xavier.
DMX's newest album, "Exodus," which was released after his death, seems to be named after his youngest son. However, there is one song on the record that appears to be dedicated to Xavier: "Letter to My Son (Call Your Father)," which features Usher and Brian King Joseph. According to Genius, DMX described "Letter to My Son" as a piano and violin ballad.
One commenter wrote, "The description of the song above says it's about his youngest son Exodus but I am pretty sure this is more about his older son (the one who was on that show with him and had a bunch of issues with DMX being so absent, etc.)."
Another fan wrote, "I am in tears. This song was specifically written for Xavier. Now he has to be the one to watch over all his siblings. This is the best song on the album."

Culture events on campus will have limited capacity
With the beginning of the academic year, cultural events on campus are restarting as well. Covid-19 tests or proof of vaccination won't be necessary in order to attend, but capacity will be reduced. Maximum of 60 visitors will be allowed per event in Vrijhof.
'I feel like the workload in our labs is growing'
Crowds leaving lecture halls, meetings started with a handshake… it all seems like a distant memory now. We have settled into the 'new normal'. In this series, we explore what it's like to work and study on a corona proof campus. Let's begin with: research. How do you conduct experiments with subjects at the 1,5 meter university?
Peer groups to ensure corona measures on campus
To make sure that everyone on campus complies with corona measures, the UT will introduce a 'peer way' of working. Appointed students will keep track of fellow students' behavior. Teachers will address teachers' behavior. This was announced by the Executive Board during the University Council meeting in the Horst today.
CampusCrowdMap shows which UT buildings to avoid
To help people avoid busy spots on campus, the UT has created 'CampusCrowdMap'. Available since yesterday, this online tool shows how many people are at any UT building at any given moment.
The first 1.5 meter PhD defense at the UT
'We will follow the rules'
'This is strange, isn't it?' whispers somebody in the audience. It is 'strange' indeed. After all, it hasn't been done before. Today was the first official 1.5 meter PhD defense at the University of Twente.
'We will find the right way'
Professor André de Boer has been appointed as the contact person for all questions regarding the 1.5 meter education at the UT. With many changes on the horizon, he serves as the 'linking pin' between the committees developing the plans and the programmes implementing them. 'The most common question so far?' he says. 'When can we go back to the campus?!'
'What we are developing is not going to be perfect'
'Hybrid' education raises concerns
The Executive Board has established guidelines for education in the 1.5 meter university with effect from 1 September. During a meeting today, the University Council (UC) has raised several concerns related to this policy.
New design for the '1,5 meters' university
'We can't go back to what we were used to'
The corona crisis is causing major changes at the UT. A special steering group, chaired by Executive Board member Mirjam Bult, is working on a 'new design of the 1,5 meters university' for the next academic year. Details are still in the making, but one thing is certain: the UT will look and function differently.

:mod:`sys` --- System-specific parameters and functions
=======================================================

.. module:: sys
   :synopsis: Access system-specific parameters and functions.

This module provides access to some variables used or maintained by the
interpreter and to functions that interact strongly with the interpreter. It is
always available.

.. data:: argv

   The list of command line arguments passed to a Python script. ``argv[0]`` is the
   script name (it is operating system dependent whether this is a full pathname or
   not).  If the command was executed using the :option:`-c` command line option to
   the interpreter, ``argv[0]`` is set to the string ``'-c'``.  If no script name
   was passed to the Python interpreter, ``argv[0]`` is the empty string.

   To loop over the standard input, or the list of files given on the
   command line, see the :mod:`fileinput` module.

.. data:: byteorder

   An indicator of the native byte order.  This will have the value ``'big'`` on
   big-endian (most-significant byte first) platforms, and ``'little'`` on
   little-endian (least-significant byte first) platforms.

   .. versionadded:: 2.0

.. data:: builtin_module_names

   A tuple of strings giving the names of all modules that are compiled into this
   Python interpreter.  (This information is not available in any other way ---
   ``modules.keys()`` only lists the imported modules.)

.. function:: call_tracing(func, args)

   Call ``func(*args)``, while tracing is enabled.  The tracing state is saved,
   and restored afterwards.  This is intended to be called from a debugger from
   a checkpoint, to recursively debug some other code.

.. data:: copyright

   A string containing the copyright pertaining to the Python interpreter.

.. function:: _clear_type_cache()

   Clear the internal type cache. The type cache is used to speed up attribute
   and method lookups. Use the function *only* to drop unnecessary references
   during reference leak debugging.

   This function should be used for internal and specialized purposes only.

   .. versionadded:: 2.6

.. function:: _current_frames()

   Return a dictionary mapping each thread's identifier to the topmost stack frame
   currently active in that thread at the time the function is called. Note that
   functions in the :mod:`traceback` module can build the call stack given such a
   frame.

   This is most useful for debugging deadlock:  this function does not require the
   deadlocked threads' cooperation, and such threads' call stacks are frozen for as
   long as they remain deadlocked.  The frame returned for a non-deadlocked thread
   may bear no relationship to that thread's current activity by the time calling
   code examines the frame.

   This function should be used for internal and specialized purposes only.

   .. versionadded:: 2.5

.. data:: dllhandle

   Integer specifying the handle of the Python DLL. Availability: Windows.

.. function:: displayhook(value)

   If *value* is not ``None``, this function prints it to ``sys.stdout``, and saves
   it in ``__builtin__._``.

   ``sys.displayhook`` is called on the result of evaluating an :term:`expression`
   entered in an interactive Python session.  The display of these values can be
   customized by assigning another one-argument function to ``sys.displayhook``.

.. data:: dont_write_bytecode

   If this is true, Python won't try to write ``.pyc`` or ``.pyo`` files on the
   import of source modules.  This value is initially set to ``True`` or
   ``False`` depending on the :option:`-B` command line option and the
   :envvar:`PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE` environment variable, but you can set it
   yourself to control bytecode file generation.

   .. versionadded:: 2.6

.. function:: excepthook(type, value, traceback)

   This function prints out a given traceback and exception to ``sys.stderr``.

   When an exception is raised and uncaught, the interpreter calls
   ``sys.excepthook`` with three arguments, the exception class, exception
   instance, and a traceback object.  In an interactive session this happens just
   before control is returned to the prompt; in a Python program this happens just
   before the program exits.  The handling of such top-level exceptions can be
   customized by assigning another three-argument function to ``sys.excepthook``.

.. data:: __displayhook__
          __excepthook__

   These objects contain the original values of ``displayhook`` and ``excepthook``
   at the start of the program.  They are saved so that ``displayhook`` and
   ``excepthook`` can be restored in case they happen to get replaced with broken
   objects.

.. function:: exc_info()

   This function returns a tuple of three values that give information about the
   exception that is currently being handled.  The information returned is specific
   both to the current thread and to the current stack frame.  If the current stack
   frame is not handling an exception, the information is taken from the calling
   stack frame, or its caller, and so on until a stack frame is found that is
   handling an exception.  Here, "handling an exception" is defined as "executing
   or having executed an except clause."  For any stack frame, only information
   about the most recently handled exception is accessible.

   .. index:: object: traceback

   If no exception is being handled anywhere on the stack, a tuple containing three
   ``None`` values is returned.  Otherwise, the values returned are ``(type, value,
   traceback)``.  Their meaning is: *type* gets the exception type of the exception
   being handled (a class object); *value* gets the exception parameter (its
   :dfn:`associated value` or the second argument to :keyword:`raise`, which is
   always a class instance if the exception type is a class object); *traceback*
   gets a traceback object (see the Reference Manual) which encapsulates the call
   stack at the point where the exception originally occurred.

   If :func:`exc_clear` is called, this function will return three ``None`` values
   until either another exception is raised in the current thread or the execution
   stack returns to a frame where another exception is being handled.

   .. warning::

      Assigning the *traceback* return value to a local variable in a function that is
      handling an exception will cause a circular reference.  This will prevent
      anything referenced by a local variable in the same function or by the traceback
      from being garbage collected.  Since most functions don't need access to the
      traceback, the best solution is to use something like ``exctype, value =
      sys.exc_info()[:2]`` to extract only the exception type and value.  If you do
      need the traceback, make sure to delete it after use (best done with a
      :keyword:`try` ... :keyword:`finally` statement) or to call :func:`exc_info` in
      a function that does not itself handle an exception.

   .. note::

      Beginning with Python 2.2, such cycles are automatically reclaimed when garbage
      collection is enabled and they become unreachable, but it remains more efficient
      to avoid creating cycles.

.. function:: exc_clear()

   This function clears all information relating to the current or last exception
   that occurred in the current thread.  After calling this function,
   :func:`exc_info` will return three ``None`` values until another exception is
   raised in the current thread or the execution stack returns to a frame where
   another exception is being handled.

   This function is only needed in only a few obscure situations.  These include
   logging and error handling systems that report information on the last or
   current exception.  This function can also be used to try to free resources and
   trigger object finalization, though no guarantee is made as to what objects will
   be freed, if any.

   .. versionadded:: 2.3

.. data:: exc_type
          exc_value
          exc_traceback

   .. deprecated:: 1.5
      Use :func:`exc_info` instead.

   Since they are global variables, they are not specific to the current thread, so
   their use is not safe in a multi-threaded program.  When no exception is being
   handled, ``exc_type`` is set to ``None`` and the other two are undefined.

.. data:: exec_prefix

   A string giving the site-specific directory prefix where the platform-dependent
   Python files are installed; by default, this is also ``'/usr/local'``.  This can
   be set at build time with the ``--exec-prefix`` argument to the
   :program:`configure` script.  Specifically, all configuration files (e.g. the
   :file:`pyconfig.h` header file) are installed in the directory
   :file:`{exec_prefix}/lib/python{X.Y}/config`, and shared library modules are
   installed in :file:`{exec_prefix}/lib/python{X.Y}/lib-dynload`, where *X.Y*
   is the version number of Python, for example ``2.7``.

.. data:: executable

   A string giving the absolute path of the executable binary for the Python
   interpreter, on systems where this makes sense. If Python is unable to retrieve
   the real path to its executable, :data:`sys.executable` will be an empty string
   or ``None``.

.. function:: exit([arg])

   Exit from Python.  This is implemented by raising the :exc:`SystemExit`
   exception, so cleanup actions specified by finally clauses of :keyword:`try`
   statements are honored, and it is possible to intercept the exit attempt at
   an outer level.

   The optional argument *arg* can be an integer giving the exit status
   (defaulting to zero), or another type of object.  If it is an integer, zero
   is considered "successful termination" and any nonzero value is considered
   "abnormal termination" by shells and the like.  Most systems require it to be
   in the range 0-127, and produce undefined results otherwise.  Some systems
   have a convention for assigning specific meanings to specific exit codes, but
   these are generally underdeveloped; Unix programs generally use 2 for command
   line syntax errors and 1 for all other kind of errors.  If another type of
   object is passed, ``None`` is equivalent to passing zero, and any other
   object is printed to :data:`stderr` and results in an exit code of 1.  In
   particular, ``sys.exit("some error message")`` is a quick way to exit a
   program when an error occurs.

   Since :func:`exit` ultimately "only" raises an exception, it will only exit
   the process when called from the main thread, and the exception is not
   intercepted.

.. data:: exitfunc

   This value is not actually defined by the module, but can be set by the user (or
   by a program) to specify a clean-up action at program exit.  When set, it should
   be a parameterless function.  This function will be called when the interpreter
   exits.  Only one function may be installed in this way; to allow multiple
   functions which will be called at termination, use the :mod:`atexit` module.

   .. note::

      The exit function is not called when the program is killed by a signal, when a
      Python fatal internal error is detected, or when ``os._exit()`` is called.

   .. deprecated:: 2.4
      Use :mod:`atexit` instead.

.. data:: flags

   The struct sequence *flags* exposes the status of command line flags. The
   attributes are read only.

   +---------------------+----------------+--------------------------------------------------+

   The attribute :attr:`sys.float_info.dig` needs further explanation.  If
   ``s`` is any string representing a decimal number with at most
   :attr:`sys.float_info.dig` significant digits, then converting ``s`` to a
   float and back again will recover a string representing the same decimal
   value::

      >>> import sys
      >>> sys.float_info.dig
      15
      >>> s = '3.14159265358979'    # decimal string with 15 significant digits
      >>> format(float(s), '.15g')  # convert to float and back -> same value
      '3.14159265358979'

   But for strings with more than :attr:`sys.float_info.dig` significant digits,
   this isn't always true::

      >>> s = '9876543211234567'    # 16 significant digits is too many!
      >>> format(float(s), '.16g')  # conversion changes value
      '9876543211234568'

   .. versionadded:: 2.6

.. data:: float_repr_style

   A string indicating how the :func:`repr` function behaves for
   floats.  If the string has value ``'short'`` then for a finite
   float ``x``, ``repr(x)`` aims to produce a short string with the
   property that ``float(repr(x)) == x``.  This is the usual behaviour
   in Python 2.7 and later.  Otherwise, ``float_repr_style`` has value
   ``'legacy'`` and ``repr(x)`` behaves in the same way as it did in
   versions of Python prior to 2.7.

   .. versionadded:: 2.7

.. function:: getcheckinterval()

   Return the interpreter's "check interval"; see :func:`setcheckinterval`.

   .. versionadded:: 2.3

.. function:: getdefaultencoding()

   Return the name of the current default string encoding used by the Unicode
   implementation.

   .. versionadded:: 2.0

.. function:: getdlopenflags()

   Return the current value of the flags that are used for :c:func:`dlopen` calls.
   The flag constants are defined in the :mod:`dl` and :mod:`DLFCN` modules.
   Availability: Unix.

   .. versionadded:: 2.2

.. function:: getfilesystemencoding()

   Return the name of the encoding used to convert Unicode filenames into system
   file names, or ``None`` if the system default encoding is used. The result value
   depends on the operating system:

   * On Mac OS X, the encoding is ``'utf-8'``.

   * On Unix, the encoding is the user's preference according to the result of
     nl_langinfo(CODESET), or ``None`` if the ``nl_langinfo(CODESET)``
     failed.

   * On Windows NT+, file names are Unicode natively, so no conversion is
     performed. :func:`getfilesystemencoding` still returns ``'mbcs'``, as
     this is the encoding that applications should use when they explicitly
     want to convert Unicode strings to byte strings that are equivalent when
     used as file names.

   * On Windows 9x, the encoding is ``'mbcs'``.

   .. versionadded:: 2.3

.. function:: getrefcount(object)

   Return the reference count of the *object*.  The count returned is generally one
   higher than you might expect, because it includes the (temporary) reference as
   an argument to :func:`getrefcount`.

.. function:: getrecursionlimit()

   Return the current value of the recursion limit, the maximum depth of the Python
   interpreter stack.  This limit prevents infinite recursion from causing an
   overflow of the C stack and crashing Python.  It can be set by
   :func:`setrecursionlimit`.

.. function:: getsizeof(object[, default])

   Return the size of an object in bytes. The object can be any type of
   object. All built-in objects will return correct results, but this
   does not have to hold true for third-party extensions as it is implementation
   specific.

   If given, *default* will be returned if the object does not provide means to
   retrieve the size.  Otherwise a :exc:`TypeError` will be raised.

   :func:`getsizeof` calls the object's ``__sizeof__`` method and adds an
   additional garbage collector overhead if the object is managed by the garbage
   collector.

   .. versionadded:: 2.6

.. function:: _getframe([depth])

   Return a frame object from the call stack.  If optional integer *depth* is
   given, return the frame object that many calls below the top of the stack.  If
   that is deeper than the call stack, :exc:`ValueError` is raised.  The default
   for *depth* is zero, returning the frame at the top of the call stack.

   .. impl-detail::

      This function should be used for internal and specialized purposes only.
      It is not guaranteed to exist in all implementations of Python.

.. function:: getprofile()

   .. index::
      single: profile function
      single: profiler

   Get the profiler function as set by :func:`setprofile`.

   .. versionadded:: 2.6

.. function:: gettrace()

   .. index::
      single: trace function
      single: debugger

   Get the trace function as set by :func:`settrace`.

   .. impl-detail::

      The :func:`gettrace` function is intended only for implementing debuggers,
      profilers, coverage tools and the like.  Its behavior is part of the
      implementation platform, rather than part of the language definition, and
      thus may not be available in all Python implementations.

   .. versionadded:: 2.6

.. function:: getwindowsversion()

   Return a named tuple describing the Windows version
   currently running.  The named elements are *major*, *minor*,
   *build*, *platform*, *service_pack*, *service_pack_minor*,
   *service_pack_major*, *suite_mask*, and *product_type*.
   *service_pack* contains a string while all other values are
   integers. The components can also be accessed by name, so
   ``sys.getwindowsversion()[0]`` is equivalent to
   ``sys.getwindowsversion().major``. For compatibility with prior
   versions, only the first 5 elements are retrievable by indexing.

   *platform* may be one of the following values:

   +-----------------------------------------+-------------------------+
   | Constant                                | Platform                |

   +---------------------------------------+---------------------------------+

   This function wraps the Win32 :c:func:`GetVersionEx` function; see the
   Microsoft documentation on :c:func:`OSVERSIONINFOEX` for more information
   about these fields.

   Availability: Windows.

   .. versionadded:: 2.3

      Changed to a named tuple and added *service_pack_minor*,
      *service_pack_major*, *suite_mask*, and *product_type*.

.. data:: hexversion

   The version number encoded as a single integer.  This is guaranteed to increase
   with each version, including proper support for non-production releases.  For
   example, to test that the Python interpreter is at least version 1.5.2, use::

      if sys.hexversion >= 0x010502F0:
          # use some advanced feature
          ...
      else:
          # use an alternative implementation or warn the user
          ...

   This is called ``hexversion`` since it only really looks meaningful when viewed
   as the result of passing it to the built-in :func:`hex` function.  The
   ``version_info`` value may be used for a more human-friendly encoding of the
   same information.

   The ``hexversion`` is a 32-bit number with the following layout:

   +-------------------------+------------------------------------------------+
   | Bits (big endian order) | Meaning                                        |

   | :const:`1-8`            |  ``PY_MAJOR_VERSION``  (the ``2`` in           |

   |                         |  ``2.1.0a3``)                                  |
   +-------------------------+------------------------------------------------+
   | :const:`17-24`          |  ``PY_MICRO_VERSION``  (the ``0`` in           |
   |                         |  ``2.1.0a3``)                                  |
   +-------------------------+------------------------------------------------+
   | :const:`25-28`          |  ``PY_RELEASE_LEVEL``  (``0xA`` for alpha,     |
   |                         |  ``0xB`` for beta, ``0xC`` for release         |
   |                         |  candidate and ``0xF`` for final)              |
   +-------------------------+------------------------------------------------+
   | :const:`29-32`          |  ``PY_RELEASE_SERIAL``  (the ``3`` in          |

   +-------------------------+------------------------------------------------+

   Thus ``2.1.0a3`` is hexversion ``0x020100a3``.

   .. versionadded:: 2.7

.. data:: last_type
          last_value
          last_traceback

   These three variables are not always defined; they are set when an exception is
   not handled and the interpreter prints an error message and a stack traceback.
   Their intended use is to allow an interactive user to import a debugger module
   and engage in post-mortem debugging without having to re-execute the command
   that caused the error.  (Typical use is ``import pdb; pdb.pm()`` to enter the
   post-mortem debugger; see chapter :ref:`debugger` for
   more information.)

   The meaning of the variables is the same as that of the return values from
   :func:`exc_info` above.  (Since there is only one interactive thread,
   thread-safety is not a concern for these variables, unlike for ``exc_type``
   etc.)

.. data:: maxint

   The largest positive integer supported by Python's regular integer type.  This
   is at least 2\*\*31-1.  The largest negative integer is ``-maxint-1`` --- the
   asymmetry results from the use of 2's complement binary arithmetic.

.. data:: maxsize

   The largest positive integer supported by the platform's Py_ssize_t type,
   and thus the maximum size lists, strings, dicts, and many other containers
   can have.

.. data:: maxunicode

   An integer giving the largest supported code point for a Unicode character.  The
   value of this depends on the configuration option that specifies whether Unicode
   characters are stored as UCS-2 or UCS-4.

.. data:: meta_path

    A list of :term:`finder` objects that have their :meth:`find_module`
    methods called to see if one of the objects can find the module to be
    imported. The :meth:`find_module` method is called at least with the
    absolute name of the module being imported. If the module to be imported is
    contained in package then the parent package's :attr:`__path__` attribute
    is passed in as a second argument. The method returns ``None`` if
    the module cannot be found, else returns a :term:`loader`.

    :data:`sys.meta_path` is searched before any implicit default finders or
    :data:`sys.path`.

    See :pep:`302` for the original specification.

.. data:: modules

   .. index:: builtin: reload

   This is a dictionary that maps module names to modules which have already been
   loaded.  This can be manipulated to force reloading of modules and other tricks.
   Note that removing a module from this dictionary is *not* the same as calling
   :func:`reload` on the corresponding module object.

.. data:: path

   .. index:: triple: module; search; path

   A list of strings that specifies the search path for modules. Initialized from
   the environment variable :envvar:`PYTHONPATH`, plus an installation-dependent
   default.

   As initialized upon program startup, the first item of this list, ``path[0]``,
   is the directory containing the script that was used to invoke the Python
   interpreter.  If the script directory is not available (e.g.  if the interpreter
   is invoked interactively or if the script is read from standard input),
   ``path[0]`` is the empty string, which directs Python to search modules in the
   current directory first.  Notice that the script directory is inserted *before*
   the entries inserted as a result of :envvar:`PYTHONPATH`.

   A program is free to modify this list for its own purposes.

   .. versionchanged:: 2.3
      Unicode strings are no longer ignored.

   .. seealso::
      Module :mod:`site` This describes how to use .pth files to extend
      :data:`sys.path`.

.. data:: path_hooks

    A list of callables that take a path argument to try to create a
    :term:`finder` for the path. If a finder can be created, it is to be
    returned by the callable, else raise :exc:`ImportError`.

    Originally specified in :pep:`302`.

.. data:: path_importer_cache

    A dictionary acting as a cache for :term:`finder` objects. The keys are
    paths that have been passed to :data:`sys.path_hooks` and the values are
    the finders that are found. If a path is a valid file system path but no
    explicit finder is found on :data:`sys.path_hooks` then ``None`` is
    stored to represent the implicit default finder should be used. If the path
    is not an existing path then :class:`imp.NullImporter` is set.

    Originally specified in :pep:`302`.

.. data:: platform

   This string contains a platform identifier that can be used to append
   platform-specific components to :data:`sys.path`, for instance.

   For most Unix systems, this is the lowercased OS name as returned by ``uname
   -s`` with the first part of the version as returned by ``uname -r`` appended,
   e.g. ``'sunos5'``, *at the time when Python was built*.  Unless you want to
   test for a specific system version, it is therefore recommended to use the
   following idiom::

      if sys.platform.startswith('freebsd'):
          # FreeBSD-specific code here...
      elif sys.platform.startswith('linux'):
          # Linux-specific code here...

   .. versionchanged:: 2.7.3
      Since lots of code check for ``sys.platform == 'linux2'``, and there is
      no essential change between Linux 2.x and 3.x, ``sys.platform`` is always
      set to ``'linux2'``, even on Linux 3.x.  In Python 3.3 and later, the
      value will always be set to ``'linux'``, so it is recommended to always
      use the ``startswith`` idiom presented above.

   For other systems, the values are:

   ===================== ===========================
   System                :data:`platform` value
   ===================== ===========================
   Linux (2.x *and* 3.x) ``'linux2'``
   Windows               ``'win32'``
   Windows/Cygwin        ``'cygwin'``
   Mac OS X              ``'darwin'``
   OS/2                  ``'os2'``
   OS/2 EMX              ``'os2emx'``
   RiscOS                ``'riscos'``
   AtheOS                ``'atheos'``
   ===================== ===========================

   .. seealso::
      :attr:`os.name` has a coarser granularity.  :func:`os.uname` gives
      system-dependent version information.

      The :mod:`platform` module provides detailed checks for the
      system's identity.

.. data:: prefix

   A string giving the site-specific directory prefix where the platform
   independent Python files are installed; by default, this is the string
   ``'/usr/local'``.  This can be set at build time with the ``--prefix``
   argument to the :program:`configure` script.  The main collection of Python
   library modules is installed in the directory :file:`{prefix}/lib/python{X.Y}`
   while the platform independent header files (all except :file:`pyconfig.h`) are
   stored in :file:`{prefix}/include/python{X.Y}`, where *X.Y* is the version
   number of Python, for example ``2.7``.

.. data:: ps1
          ps2

   .. index::
      single: interpreter prompts
      single: prompts, interpreter

   Strings specifying the primary and secondary prompt of the interpreter.  These
   are only defined if the interpreter is in interactive mode.  Their initial
   values in this case are ``'>>> '`` and ``'... '``.  If a non-string object is
   assigned to either variable, its :func:`str` is re-evaluated each time the
   interpreter prepares to read a new interactive command; this can be used to
   implement a dynamic prompt.

.. data:: py3kwarning

   Bool containing the status of the Python 3 warning flag. It's ``True``
   when Python is started with the -3 option.  (This should be considered
   read-only; setting it to a different value doesn't have an effect on
   Python 3 warnings.)

   .. versionadded:: 2.6

.. function:: setcheckinterval(interval)

   Set the interpreter's "check interval".  This integer value determines how often
   the interpreter checks for periodic things such as thread switches and signal
   handlers.  The default is ``100``, meaning the check is performed every 100
   Python virtual instructions. Setting it to a larger value may increase
   performance for programs using threads.  Setting it to a value ``<=`` 0 checks
   every virtual instruction, maximizing responsiveness as well as overhead.

.. function:: setdefaultencoding(name)

   Set the current default string encoding used by the Unicode implementation.  If
   *name* does not match any available encoding, :exc:`LookupError` is raised.
   This function is only intended to be used by the :mod:`site` module
   implementation and, where needed, by :mod:`sitecustomize`.  Once used by the
   :mod:`site` module, it is removed from the :mod:`sys` module's namespace.

   .. Note that :mod:`site` is not imported if the :option:`-S` option is passed
      to the interpreter, in which case this function will remain available.

   .. versionadded:: 2.0

.. function:: setdlopenflags(n)

   Set the flags used by the interpreter for :c:func:`dlopen` calls, such as when
   the interpreter loads extension modules.  Among other things, this will enable a
   lazy resolving of symbols when importing a module, if called as
   ``sys.setdlopenflags(0)``.  To share symbols across extension modules, call as
   ``sys.setdlopenflags(dl.RTLD_NOW | dl.RTLD_GLOBAL)``.  Symbolic names for the
   flag modules can be either found in the :mod:`dl` module, or in the :mod:`DLFCN`
   module. If :mod:`DLFCN` is not available, it can be generated from
   :file:`/usr/include/dlfcn.h` using the :program:`h2py` script. Availability:
   Unix.

.. function:: setprofile(profilefunc)

   .. index::
      single: profile function
      single: profiler

   Set the system's profile function, which allows you to implement a Python source
   code profiler in Python.  See chapter :ref:`profile` for more information on the
   Python profiler.  The system's profile function is called similarly to the
   system's trace function (see :func:`settrace`), but it isn't called for each
   executed line of code (only on call and return, but the return event is reported
   even when an exception has been set).  The function is thread-specific, but
   there is no way for the profiler to know about context switches between threads,
   so it does not make sense to use this in the presence of multiple threads. Also,
   its return value is not used, so it can simply return ``None``.

.. function:: setrecursionlimit(limit)

   Set the maximum depth of the Python interpreter stack to *limit*.  This limit
   prevents infinite recursion from causing an overflow of the C stack and crashing
   Python.

   The highest possible limit is platform-dependent.  A user may need to set the
   limit higher when she has a program that requires deep recursion and a platform
   that supports a higher limit.  This should be done with care, because a too-high
   limit can lead to a crash.

.. function:: settrace(tracefunc)

   .. index::
      single: trace function
      single: debugger

   Set the system's trace function, which allows you to implement a Python
   source code debugger in Python.  The function is thread-specific; for a
   debugger to support multiple threads, it must be registered using
   :func:`settrace` for each thread being debugged.

   Trace functions should have three arguments: *frame*, *event*, and
   *arg*. *frame* is the current stack frame.  *event* is a string: ``'call'``,
   ``'line'``, ``'return'``, ``'exception'``, ``'c_call'``, ``'c_return'``, or
   ``'c_exception'``. *arg* depends on the event type.

   The trace function is invoked (with *event* set to ``'call'``) whenever a new
   local scope is entered; it should return a reference to a local trace
   function to be used that scope, or ``None`` if the scope shouldn't be traced.

   The local trace function should return a reference to itself (or to another
   function for further tracing in that scope), or ``None`` to turn off tracing
   in that scope.

   The events have the following meaning:

   ``'call'``
      A function is called (or some other code block entered).  The
      global trace function is called; *arg* is ``None``; the return value
      specifies the local trace function.

   ``'line'``
      The interpreter is about to execute a new line of code or re-execute the
      condition of a loop.  The local trace function is called; *arg* is
      ``None``; the return value specifies the new local trace function.  See
      :file:`Objects/lnotab_notes.txt` for a detailed explanation of how this
      works.

   ``'return'``
      A function (or other code block) is about to return.  The local trace
      function is called; *arg* is the value that will be returned, or ``None``
      if the event is caused by an exception being raised.  The trace function's
      return value is ignored.

   ``'exception'``
      An exception has occurred.  The local trace function is called; *arg* is a
      tuple ``(exception, value, traceback)``; the return value specifies the
      new local trace function.

   ``'c_call'``
      A C function is about to be called.  This may be an extension function or
      a built-in.  *arg* is the C function object.

   ``'c_return'``
      A C function has returned. *arg* is the C function object.

   ``'c_exception'``
      A C function has raised an exception.  *arg* is the C function object.

   Note that as an exception is propagated down the chain of callers, an
   ``'exception'`` event is generated at each level.

   For more information on code and frame objects, refer to :ref:`types`.

   .. impl-detail::

      The :func:`settrace` function is intended only for implementing debuggers,
      profilers, coverage tools and the like.  Its behavior is part of the
      implementation platform, rather than part of the language definition, and
      thus may not be available in all Python implementations.

.. function:: settscdump(on_flag)

   Activate dumping of VM measurements using the Pentium timestamp counter, if
   *on_flag* is true. Deactivate these dumps if *on_flag* is off. The function is
   available only if Python was compiled with ``--with-tsc``. To understand
   the output of this dump, read :file:`Python/ceval.c` in the Python sources.

   .. versionadded:: 2.4

   .. impl-detail::

      This function is intimately bound to CPython implementation details and
      thus not likely to be implemented elsewhere.

.. data:: stdin
          stdout
          stderr

   .. index::
      builtin: input
      builtin: raw_input

   File objects corresponding to the interpreter's standard input, output and error
   streams.  ``stdin`` is used for all interpreter input except for scripts but
   including calls to :func:`input` and :func:`raw_input`.  ``stdout`` is used for
   the output of :keyword:`print` and :term:`expression` statements and for the
   prompts of :func:`input` and :func:`raw_input`. The interpreter's own prompts
   and (almost all of) its error messages go to ``stderr``.  ``stdout`` and
   ``stderr`` needn't be built-in file objects: any object is acceptable as long
   as it has a :meth:`write` method that takes a string argument.  (Changing these
   objects doesn't affect the standard I/O streams of processes executed by
   :func:`os.popen`, :func:`os.system` or the :func:`exec\*` family of functions in
   the :mod:`os` module.)

.. data:: __stdin__
          __stdout__
          __stderr__

   These objects contain the original values of ``stdin``, ``stderr`` and
   ``stdout`` at the start of the program.  They are used during finalization,
   and could be useful to print to the actual standard stream no matter if the
   ``sys.std*`` object has been redirected.

   It can also be used to restore the actual files to known working file objects
   in case they have been overwritten with a broken object.  However, the
   preferred way to do this is to explicitly save the previous stream before
   replacing it, and restore the saved object.

.. data:: subversion

   A triple (repo, branch, version) representing the Subversion information of the
   Python interpreter. *repo* is the name of the repository, ``'CPython'``.
   *branch* is a string of one of the forms ``'trunk'``, ``'branches/name'`` or
   ``'tags/name'``. *version* is the output of ``svnversion``, if the interpreter
   was built from a Subversion checkout; it contains the revision number (range)
   and possibly a trailing 'M' if there were local modifications. If the tree was
   exported (or svnversion was not available), it is the revision of
   ``Include/patchlevel.h`` if the branch is a tag. Otherwise, it is ``None``.

   .. versionadded:: 2.5

   .. note::
      Python is now `developed <http://docs.python.org/devguide/>`_ using
      Mercurial.  In recent Python 2.7 bugfix releases, :data:`subversion`
      therefore contains placeholder information.  It is removed in Python
      3.3.

.. data:: tracebacklimit

   When this variable is set to an integer value, it determines the maximum number
   of levels of traceback information printed when an unhandled exception occurs.
   The default is ``1000``.  When set to ``0`` or less, all traceback information
   is suppressed and only the exception type and value are printed.

.. data:: version

   A string containing the version number of the Python interpreter plus additional
   information on the build number and compiler used.  This string is displayed
   when the interactive interpreter is started.  Do not extract version information
   out of it, rather, use :data:`version_info` and the functions provided by the
   :mod:`platform` module.

.. data:: api_version

   The C API version for this interpreter.  Programmers may find this useful when
   debugging version conflicts between Python and extension modules.

   .. versionadded:: 2.3

.. data:: version_info

   A tuple containing the five components of the version number: *major*, *minor*,
   *micro*, *releaselevel*, and *serial*.  All values except *releaselevel* are
   integers; the release level is ``'alpha'``, ``'beta'``, ``'candidate'``, or
   ``'final'``.  The ``version_info`` value corresponding to the Python version 2.0
   is ``(2, 0, 0, 'final', 0)``.  The components can also be accessed by name,
   so ``sys.version_info[0]`` is equivalent to ``sys.version_info.major``
   and so on.

   .. versionadded:: 2.0
   .. versionchanged:: 2.7
      Added named component attributes

.. data:: warnoptions

   This is an implementation detail of the warnings framework; do not modify this
   value.  Refer to the :mod:`warnings` module for more information on the warnings
   framework.

.. data:: winver

   The version number used to form registry keys on Windows platforms. This is
   stored as string resource 1000 in the Python DLL.  The value is normally the
   first three characters of :const:`version`.  It is provided in the :mod:`sys`
   module for informational purposes; modifying this value has no effect on the
   registry keys used by Python. Availability: Windows.

In a major cull of staff, Gensler has been informing its employees whether their jobs are likely to exist beyond the end of the month.
Although the city practice denied that the final number of redundancies is known, an insider said that 41 staff had received letters of redundancy, and 4 others were to leave voluntarily.
As reported in the AJ last month (4.10.01), Gensler is blaming its current downturn in business on the slowdown in the global economy and the terrorist events of 11 September. It had said it would be undertaking a consultation with staff, and that it would be trying to achieve the cuts through 'voluntary means' where possible.
Gensler, which ranked seven in the AJ Top 100 this year (22.3.01), also topped the list of 'fastest rises' by employing 66 per cent more architects than it did in the previous year.

Nearly 1 in 5 Americans misused or abused drugs in 2018
by: Ronnie Das
Posted: Mar 30, 2020 / 05:05 PM EDT
Updated: Mar 30, 2020 / 05:05 PM EDT
WASHINGTON (WLNS) – National rates of drug misuse rose from 15% in 2003 to 19% in 2018, according to the U.S. Government Accountability Office.
Nationally, since 2002, rates of drug misuse have increased, according to GAO's analysis of federal data.
The rates of drug overdose deaths have also generally increased nationally since the early 2000s. Over 716,000 people have died of a drug overdose since 2002, and in 2018 alone, over 67,000 people died as a result of a drug overdose, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Federal agencies may struggle to focus on drug misuse during the COVID-19 pandemic. Yet the pandemic could fuel contributing factors of misuse—such as unemployment—stressing the long-term need to sustain and build upon ongoing efforts.>>>
Although the number of drug overdose deaths in 2018 decreased compared to 2017, drug misuse in the United States continued to rise.
In 2017, 43.2 percent of counties had estimates of more than 20 drug overdose deaths per 100,000 people, including 448 counties with rates that were significantly higher than this amount.
Note: CDC's National Center for Health Statistics used a statistical model to estimate rates of drug overdose deaths to account for counties where data were sparse because of small population size.
In 2018, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration reported that an estimated 19 percent of the U.S. population, over 53 million people, misused or abused drugs, an increase from an estimated 14.7 percent in 2003.
Note: Large and small metro counties are in metropolitan statistical areas and have a population of 1 million or more and fewer than 1 million, respectively. Metropolitan statistical areas have at least one urbanized area and include adjacent counties with a high degree of social and economic integration with the urbanized area. All other counties are non-metro counties.
Drug misuse—the use of illicit drugs and the misuse of prescription drugs—has been a persistent and long-standing public health issue in the United States.
In GAO's March 2019 High-Risk report, GAO named drug misuse as an emerging issue requiring close attention.

Many people make mistakes when drawing human faces because they don't fully understand the proportion of how to draw face. If you want to know where to place the nose on a face with correct proportions, check out my tutorial on drawing faces!
Every body thinks that face sketching is very difficult Art. Add some touch-ups and go over your highlighted areas once more with a kneaded eraser.
There is no need to clean paint brushes. If you do this carefully you will, as a matter of course, start to refine you shading as you become focused on adjusting any inconsistencies in the tone. The width of the wings is equal to half the perpendicular line. This tutorial now comes with a video! We have cautiously applied a thin layer of red to capture these variations.
For now, you can simply draw a nose that is often portrayed in educational pictures. Drawing face step by step is the most important because style of the character you draw is based around it. The sketch beautiful portraits of women are easy to draw once you get the hang of it. While it's not that difficult to draw a nose, dating old zildjian cymbals a small imperfection can make it appear too bulbous or too thin.
This smoothing of the skin texture builds and improves with each subsequent layer. We will darken the drawing later.
The nose and the eyes are by far the most important parts of a portrait. Now adjust what you have previously shaded to include this range of darker tones. Just draw a streamlined shape of the wings.
Learn how to draw eyes teaches you the basics of drawing. Shape the nose Shape and contour the bridge and ball of the nose. You can always easily correct the chin and lips, but if the eyes or nose are poorly drawn, your drawing of a nose won't look good.
This face art drawing will show you the basic principles of drawing character for beginner. Everybody wants to learn how to draw realistic people, but good drawing learning are unfortunately scattered on the internet. Experiment with shading to achieve longer, flatter, or more defined noses and so on. You need to build up the depth of tone you require in several layers. Drawing face will be the top of the character and help to shape the all later aspects.
To understand about drawing human face proportion for beginner you need to know the size and placement between on object and another. This will also heighten the realism of our drawing.
Color Pencil Portrait Menu. When you add another layer to build up the tone, some of the unevenness of your shading is naturally smoothed out by the increased volume of pencil strokes. Create some shadows using soft pencil, which will give volume to your drawing, making the nose look more realistic. If you try to create light tones using a white color pencil you will find that it mixes with the color underneath to create a dull highlight.
This has none of the sparkle that you get from the natural white of the paper shining through pure translucent color pencil pigment. There is no sloppy or messy paint created by chemicals or oils. Next, delicately shade these in with a color that is slightly darker than your basic flesh color. Alternatively, you can use a craft knife to cut or sharpen your eraser to an accurate point.
You can shade around the top of the circle to make the nose look pointer or shade the middle of the circle to give it a flatter look. Keep the strokes light so they can be erased in later steps. Learn how to draw human face and create great realistic drawing, illustrations and drawings with this free drawing step by step. Install Drawing Face Step by Step Drawing human step by step is an application which contains of guideline and step by step instruction of face drawing and sketching. The aim of this last step to fine tune the texture and tone of your shading for maximum impact.
The marks you make when you begin your shading are more sketchy and irregular. Share it with them using the share buttons below! So they need no help for sketching a face or draw eyes and also how to draw all face fundamentals. Even although you may be drawing a small amount of detail you must always maintain your maximum level of concentration.

Hackers have got a plan which describes joint acts of South Korea and the US in case a full-scale war against North Korea is started.
It is reported, that cyber criminals hacked inner network of the Ministry of National Defense of the Republic of Korea in September 2016. These were allegedly the North Korean hackers.
As it turned out, an Operative Plan 5027 was among stolen materials. Just after the incident the Defence Ministry assured that no important data was leaked. However, the investigation showed that hackers had got access to the top secret documents.
Now responsible people are being defined. Beside that, Washington and Seoul will make serious adjustments to the Plan 5027.
As Pravda.Ru reported, the US and South Korea have carried out the Foal Eagle joint military exercises since early March. The US have deployed an aircraft carrier, fighters and strategic bombers.

TUKWILA, Wash. — Seattle Sounders midfielder Nicolas Lodeiro participated in his first day of preseason training camp on Friday.
The Sounders had given Lodeiro an excused absence so he could take extra time to rest after a busy 2016. He played for 18 consecutive months without a legitimate break because of his midseason transfer from Argentina's Boca Juniors.
Sounders head coach Brian Schmetzer praised Lodeiro's work ethic on Friday, complimenting a player who was forced to recharge during a short offseason window.
"The kid actually works really super hard," said Schmetzer of Lodeiro. "He was off the charts with his running, his data was off the charts. They all needed a break. It was not just the physical side of it, it was the emotional side as well. They had overcome a bunch of giant hurdles. They needed that mental break as well.
Lodeiro said he did in fact have a relaxing offseason, but it was far from uneventful. He got married while back home in Uruguay and was happy to just spend time with his family and to give his body a break.
Lodeiro looked like his usual playmaking self on Friday, combining with teammates and operating in tight spaces. He worked especially well with Clint Dempsey, who is back in full training after being sidelined with an irregular heartbeat last August.
Schmetzer is looking forward to Lodeiro and Dempsey's growing partnership as well, and he hopes they continue to build on the momentum they forged in their brief time playing together.
"We obviously hope to improve on [their four games last season], but are realistic enough to know that teams will now watch film," Schmetzer said. "They did a little bit toward the end of [last] year, they figured out some of Nico's tendencies.
READ: Who are the most interesting players in the Sounders' preseason camp?
There has been quite a bit of turnover from the 2016 club that won the franchise's first MLS Cup, but Lodeiro is excited about Seattle's new acquisitions and what they can contribute. He said all of them have a strong desire to be there, and the team will need players with a good heart to be able to repeat as champions.
Despite already preparing for 2017, Lodeiro said he finally had time in the offseason to reflect on the magical run the team had last year. Even now, though, it's difficult for him to properly express.

Q: About the general solution of $x'(t)+x(t)=\int_0^{x(t)}\frac{du}{\cosh u}$ I wondered as curiosity about the general solution of the nonlinear ordinary differential equation  $$x'(t)+x(t)=\int_0^{x(t)}\frac{du}{\cosh u},\tag{1}$$ for $t\geq 0$. See the article of Wikipedia or MathWorld dedicated to the Gudermannian function.
Of couse I know using Euler's trick the solution of the homogeneous equation $x'(t)+x(t)=0$ as $Ce^{-t}$ for a real constant $C$ depending of the value $x(0)$. Or also (for real variables $C_1$ and $C_2$ we obtain the solution as a vectorial space of dimension $2$) the solution of the homogeneous equation associated to the derivative of $(1)$
$$x''(t)+x'(t)=\frac{2x(t)}{e^{x(t)}+e^{-x(t)}},\tag{2}$$
 as $x_h(t)=C_1+C_2e^{-t}$. Also I've tried to combine with facts that I know of hyperbolic functions, but I believe that it doesn't solve the problem, that is that our equation $(1)$ is nonlinear and thus is difficult, and in this exercise I believe that impossible to compute explicitely the particular solution $x_p(t)$, that I need, to express the general solution of $(1)$ using the superposition principle.

Question. I want to solve $(1)$, well explicitely or well numerically. I don't know if has mathematical meaning the linearization to explore the shape of the solutions of this non-linear equation. Then I would like to refresh topics from differential equations and numerical analysis, learn more from your answer. The question is thus do calculations and reasonins to state the solution of $(1)$. Thanks in advance.

See the output that was calculated by Wolfram Alpha online calculator from my code
solve x'+x=gd(x)
the plot of the solution family sampling $x(0)$. Then, what are your ideas to present the solutions of my Question?

I've updated $(2)$ since was a mistake, see the comments. We can see also that there was a mistake in my original $(2)$ using the second fundamental theorem of calculus.

A: Evaluating the integral, makes the ODE appear as
$$x'(t)+x(t)=2 \arctan \left( \tanh \left( \frac{x(t)}{2} \right) \right)=\operatorname{gd}(x(t)).$$
This equation is separable, i.e.
$$\frac{x'(t)}{\operatorname{gd}(x(t))-x(t)}=1 $$
Integrating both sides gives
$$\int_{t_0}^t \frac{x'(\tau)}{\operatorname{gd}(x(\tau))-x(\tau)} \mathrm{d} \tau=t-t_0.$$
Using the change of variables $u=x(\tau)$, alongside with $x(t_0)=x_0$ gives the implicit solution
$$\int_{x_0}^x \frac{\mathrm{d} u}{\operatorname{gd}(u)-u}=t-t_0. $$

A while back I did a post on carmine. It is an additive in processed foods and utilized as a red food coloring agent.
Yesterday I was at the dentist, and while waiting, I picked up a copy of Glamour Magazine and started to look through it. On page 144 of the January issue, they have a story about "The Health Truth of Your Favorite Foods." There is a cover picture of pink yogurt and it discusses carmine, what it really is (ground beetle carcass) and alternatives to using it (i.e. buy plain yogurt and add honey).
I do often solemnly swear til' death do us part to keep you updated on certain things I post. Generally, this relates to lawsuits, and they can take their sweet old time.
I did, however, find some information relating back to the story on mandatory vaccinations in Maryland, which you may view here.
State Attorney Glen Ivy did subsequently state that there is in fact no law in the United States that makes vaccinations mandatory. Instead, if you are truant due to the lack of vaccinations, then criminal penalties may be imposed.
And interestingly enough, Ivy admits he prevented his children from receiving the same vaccinations at issue here. Ivy does state parents may use a waiver form to legally opt out of vaccines.
You may listen to an interview with Ivy on the Alex Jones Show here.
To view a blatantly inaccurate Fox news report stating that a law had been passed requiring the vaccinations (14th Amendment anyone?) please visit here.
I don't purposely seek out undercover animal cruelty videos (due to the fact that I do not enjoy watching them and already know, in general, what goes on at meat plants), but recently posted one involving the animal abuse crackdown at the Westfield Meat Co. in California.
A recent visitor to Veg Lawyer also has some eye opening video posted on the main page of her web log. It involves Tyson Foods.
Caution: It is disturbing, and in my opinion, not for little eyes.

Move [1970]
MOVE is an American comedy that was directed by Stuart Rosenberg and originally released in February 1970 by 20th Century Fox. It stars Elliott Gould and Paula Prentiss with support from John Larch, Genevieve Waite and Ron O'Neal. Gould plays Hiram Jaffe, an aspirant playwright who writes pornographic novels to support him and his wife Dolly (Prentiss) and their enormous dog Murphy. On the day the Jaffes are due to move to a new apartment he finds all sorts of problems and frustrations coming to a head, causing him to indulge in self-obsessed fantasies.
There were a lot of films like this around at the beginning of the 1970s, usually American, usually based on a novel or play, often starring Gould, or Alan Arkin, or Donald Sutherland, or a combination thereof, and often VERY SHOUTY. This is a typical example. Adapted from his own novel by Joel Lieber with assistance from Stan Hart – and I confess I haven't read it – the film seems better suited to the page than the screen. They are often determinedly kooky, with it, self-consciously daring, meandering and a little bit wearing. LITTLE MURDERS [1971], which features all three of the aforementioned actors, and was directed by Arkin, is another good example. The sub-genre is neatly encapsulated by a dinner party scene in which all the characters are shouting at each other and, in another little quirk typical of these films, repeat each other's names a lot.
In MOVE, Gould's character, on screen for virtually the whole running time, comes across as a desperately self-absorbed neurotic who can't see the wood for the trees. Now, the same might be said of other screen fantastists, particularly Billy Liar, but save for a tardy removal man, Jaffe doesn't seem to have that much to be resentful about. Billy Liar is essentially a sympathetic character by Jaffe is a moaner. That the central character is thus a turn-off holes the film below the waterline and very early on too.
Like Billy Liar, Hiram Jaffe is an unreliable narrator, that is to say, the viewer isn't always sure which scenes are fantasies and which are 'reality'. Generally speaking, the scenes with his wife seem to reality but the stuff about the telephonist, the removal man and possibly even The Girl is wholly imagined. So what do the fantasies reveal about Jaffe? Well, for a start he has a persecution complex. The 'removal man' who has become his bete noir rings him several times to taunt him about his marriage, his house move and so on. The 'telephonist' frustrates him repeatedly by refusing to pass on information or let him communicate directly with the real removal man. I think these reflect Jaffe's own feelings about his worth as a man and as a husband. It's only in this way that the film starts to make sense as, on the face of it, Jaffe is a dislikeable individual.
The pre-credits sequence: Hiram fantasises about being run down by a roller while his feet are stuck in hot tarmac and he can't MOVE (geddit??!!)
Jaffe has the great good fortune to be married to Paula Prentiss but for some unfathomable reason has grown distant from her. It is hinted that the point of conflict between them is her desire for a child and his reluctance. Ironically it isn't until Jaffe has picked up and had sex with The Girl, whether it happens in reality or not, that he feels able to return to his wife. Perhaps this indicates performance anxiety of some sort; in the era of Philip Roth's 'Portnoy's Complaint' (which was adapted into another early 70s kinky, kooky comedy, starring, incidentally, Paula Prentiss's husband Richard Benjamin) sexual issues of this sort were all over the screen.
Hiram fantasises about the recalcitrant telephonist who won't help him sort out his house MOVE (geddit??!!)
A fantasy about Hiram and Dolly's wedding in which he is unable to break the traditional glass
Another fantasy sequence, this time a fancy dress party hosted by his transvestite brother
Frankly, not much happens in MOVE. Jaffe is ultimately compelled by his fantasies to confront his real life issues and it all ends happily ever after, with the family unit restored and a baby on the way. A very conservative message actually, even though it is delivered with the two leads in the bath together. Prior to that there is little more than a series of sketches – Hiram going berserk with the paint brush in his new flat; Hiram getting hassled in Central Park by a mounted patrolman (familiar character actor John Larch); Hiram imaging a shootout between his neighbours, one of whom (Ron O'Neal) has just bought a gun for his wife; recalling his wedding day; a family party. None is particularly amusing and the net result is a dissatisfying experience. Maybe it's for this reason that MOVE is another of those films I occasionally cover which is, or was, very difficult for me to get hold of. The print I did see was extremely ropey and the accomopanying stills reflect that.
Elliott Gould as Hiram Jaffe
Elliott Gould was one of the faces of early 70s American cinema, appearing in a string of right on the money fashionable films, the most successful of which was M*A*S*H [1970], thus beginning a working relationship with Robert Altman that stretched through at least four further pictures. My personal favourite is THE LONG GOODBYE [1973] a contemporary adaptation of Raymond Chandler's novel featuring the archetypal private eye Philip Marlowe. Gould plays him as a somewhat slovenly, half-hearted investigator which incensed some film critics who were, presumably, Marlowe purists. However, I side with those who think that although Gould's interpretation is superficially the opposite of Marlowe he nevertheless has the same easy-going nature, a strong sense of principle and a dogged determination to see justice done, no matter how many beatings he has to take. When the quality of US film-making declined in the late 70s and Gould found himself out of fashion, his star waned but he continues to be a prolific actor and livens up virtually everything he is cast in – which includes big budget productions like the OCEAN'S ELEVEN trilogy and CONTAGION [2011] - which shows both his enduring talent and the esteem in which he is held by those who know their cinema.
Paula Prentiss as Dolly
Paula Prentiss is an actress I am extremely fond of, despite not having seen many of her films. The ones I have seen, including WHAT'S NEW, PUSSYCAT? [1967], CATCH 22 [1970], THE PARALLAX VIEW [1974] and THE STEPFORD WIVES [1975] she is brilliant in. She has a very winning manner and a quite unique range of inflection in her voice which can be hilarious. Sadly she more or less packed it in in the 1980s although I see she has a role in a new horror film called I AM THE PRETTY THING THAT LIVES IN THE HOUSE [2016] which I shall make a point of seeing.
Two supporting actors: Ron O'Neal, famous as SUPERFLY...
and John Larch, the kind of actor whom, once you recognise his face, you will see everywhere.
The director Stuart Rosenberg should be much better known than he is. His best known film is COOL HAND LUKE [1967], perhaps the anti-authoritarian picture of the 60s but aside from that he made a number of highly professional pieces of entertainment that occasionally strove for a modicum of social comment, usually of a liberal persuasion, such as BRUBAKER [1980]. A film of his worth catching if you can track it down is WUSA [1970] starring Paul Newman a populist radio host on an extreme right radio station, which has some similarities with the better known and aforementioned THE PARALLAX VIEW.
