Rowing was one of the original sports in the modern Olympic games. In the 1920s and '30s, collegiate crew got the same kind of press coverage as baseball. But after of decades of languishing, rowing is once again racing ahead.
The sport of rowing has been called a symphony in motion. It's easy to see why when you watch a team like Yale's.
Eight towering oarsmen rowing in unison against the resistance of water and wind -- all while balancing on a two-foot wide boat, reports CBS News correspondent Jericka Duncan.
"The challenging part is to sync up everyone and like to work as a unit, and to work as one piece together," the Yale Bulldogs' captain Hubert Trzybinski said.
Rowing is the oldest contested college sport. The first race was the Harvard-Yale regatta in 1852. Many schools still take it very seriously, which is one of the reasons why the sport is growing.
USRowing says its top tier membership rose 27 percent in 2015 partly because student athletes see it as a way to set themselves apart in the college admissions process.
Programs like Row New York have also shared the sport with kids from under-resourced communities who wouldn't otherwise have access to competitive rowing. Executive director and founder Amanda Kraus said roughly a quarter of the program's graduates have received full or partial scholarships for rowing to college.
Rowing's renaissance is also happening on land. At boutique fitness clubs like Row House in New York, the crew on land gets the same physical benefits as those on the water -- as Duncan experienced personally.
"That was intense," she exclaimed after trying the rowing machine workout.
Row House owners Eric and Debra Frohlich saw an opportunity with the ergometer, also known as the "erg."
"It's such an effective full-body workout that it just didn't make sense to me that there wasn't rows of them like treadmills," Eric described.
"We started to find that a lot of people had history rowing and they loved it," Debra said.
A common misconception about rowing is that it's an upper body workout, Eric said.
"It's 60 percent legs, 30 percent more -- give or take -- core, and about 10 percent arms. So it's really just the opposite of what you would think it is," he explained.
Regulars here say part of the attraction is being able to get that intense workout at any age and in any condition.
"My back was bad, my knees were bad. Something's always going on. I'm 54. There's always something going on in my body," customer David Hinden said. "With rowing I actually I think it helped my back and my knees were never an issue."
"Rowing and crew is no joke," sports medicine physician Dr. Jordan Metzl said.
"If you're doing a hard run or a hard row, you are probably burning about the same number of calories," Metzl said. "The difference is that if your joints become arthritic, your hips or your knees or your back, running can sometimes be painful. Rowing is much less loading force on your joints."
Even the Netflix hit "House of Cards" can't resist the erg. The rhythmic sounds of Frank Underwood's machine provide both a soundtrack and an interesting analogy in the series -- a politician, constantly moving but going nowhere.
Every time Underwood takes a stroke, WaterRower, the company that makes his erg, seems to get a bump in sales. The factory in Warren, Rhode Island has tripled production in the last five years to more than 1,000 machines a week.
"The most addictive quality is when you hear all the fly wheels spin up at the same second," Eric said.
While there are plenty of people who prefer to go at it solo, Frohlich said whether you're on the water or on dry land, the real benefits can only be had when you're rowing with a crew.
"Rowing at its best is just a large group of people breathing together. It almost becomes like a meditative, powerful breath," Eric said.
"And you go so much further than you would ever on your own," Debra added.

Q: rerunning agg on pandas groupby object modifies the original dataframe I am trying to aggregate a bunch of dictionaries, with string keys and lists of binary numbers as values, stored in a pandas dataframe. Like this:
Example dataframe that this problem occurs with:
df4
subject task_nr probe_dict
0   2   1   {'1_3': [0, 0, 1, 1]}
1   2   0   {'1_3': [0, 0, 1, 1]}
2   2   0   {'1_3': [0, 0, 1, 1]}

For aggregation, I simply want to join together the lists when the keys in the dicts in different rows of the dataframe are equal. Before aggregation, I run a groupby operation with subject and task_nr as 'groupers'. My aggregation function has a single parameter that lets me take only the last n entries from the joined list. I would like to rerun this with different parameters. However, when I rerun .agg on a groupby object derived from the dataframe multiple times, the original dataframe changes. Below are my groupby and aggregation code. I have included some deepcopies to try to avoid the problem, but it doesn't seem to help. The reason appears to be that the original dataframe is being modified. Is there a way to avoid this? Why is this happening?
grouped= cp.deepcopy(df4).groupby(['subject','task_nr'])  #group results by task and subject
mptd_only30 = partial(merge_probe_trial_dicts,only_last=30)  #consider only last 30 probe trials
mergag = cp.deepcopy(grouped['probe_dict']).agg(mptd_only30)  #aggregate data across sessions using function above

Aggregation function.
def merge_probe_trial_dicts(x,only_last=None):
    """
    Function passed as argument to result of pandas groupby in
    order to merge the dicts by subject and task

    Arguments:
    =========================
    x: what is passed by agg

    only_last (int): only look at the last n probe trials for each transition
    """

    out = {}
    for d in x.dropna():
        for k,v in d.items():
            if k not in out.keys():
                out[k] = v
            else:
                out[k].extend(v)

    if only_last:
        for k,v in out.items():
            out[k] = v[-only_last:]
    return out

A: The issue is that merge_probe_trial_dicts mutates the original list that is in df4 instead of creating a new one.
Just add .copy() as below and you should be good.
def merge_probe_trial_dicts(x, only_last=None):
    out = {}
    for d in x.dropna():
        for k, v in d.items():
            if k not in out.keys():
                out[k] = v.copy()  # This is the trick
            else:
                out[k].extend(v)

    if only_last:
        for k,v in out.items():
            out[k] = v[-only_last:]
    return out

Additional trick: the extra arguments to agg are passed to the aggregation function. So you can directly do:
df4.groupby(["subject", "task_nr"]).agg(merge_probe_trial_dicts, only_last=30)

instead of:
mptd_only30 = partial(merge_probe_trial_dicts, only_last=30)
df4.groupby(["subject", "task_nr"]).agg(mptd_only30)

Another one: if k not in out.keys() is pretty inefficient since you recompute out.keys() each time. I suggest using defaultdict instead for simpler and more efficient code:
from collections import defaultdict

def merge_probe_trial_dicts(x, only_last=None):
    out = defaultdict(list)
    for d in x.dropna():
        for key, value in d.items():
            out[key] += value
    if only_last is not None:
        for key, value in out.items():
            out[key] = value[-only_last:]
    return out

You Signed the Syllabus…

If you walk into the library, you would expect to find students reading and studying. Though that's not always what you will find.
If a student looks into the files of nearly any computer and they will see at least one game. The most common is Roblox, which students will spend the entire lunch period playing. The librarian Cathy Asker goes through the efforts of trying to get students to stop downloading files (games).
This may be considered an issue, but when students signed the school syllabus, they agreed to refrain from downloading files on school technology. The rules have already been put into place, Asker is just doubled with the task of enforcing them.
"Since they agreed to that, I need to enforce that. It's district policy and also school policy," Asker explained.
Freshman student Aiden Marsh playing "Roblox" on computers inside the library. Marsh has gone against the rules without knowledge of doing so.
While she doesn't allow downloading games, she still supports the idea of gaming. Students are allowed to play games on the computer as long as items don't get downloaded.
"I'm okay with students gaming on [the computers], but I can't have the computers stop working because it's so full." She said.
This brings up another issue. When items get downloaded on to the computers, their storage is decreased. With this, comes the danger of viruses. Students aren't always concerned about the health of the computers, and the computers do not possess anti-virus software. Therefore, computers are unable to protect themselves.
"It takes a lot of time and energy back up and running after a virus has disabled it," said Asker. This is a huge problem because the school needs to have computers available for student use.
To get all angles of the story, one of the freshman students informed us about how he felt about these rules.
"It kinda sucks that I can't play games anymore or make them," said Aiden Marsh.
Aiden is one of the students who played games every day, while he didn't download games he still enjoyed playing them. In Roblox, you are able to make games and that was something he would do. Now that Asker is putting her foot down, he will have to find something new to occupy his time.
While the current students are engaging in this misconduct, they aren't the start. Ever since the school opened, the issue of students downloading games on school computers has been present. Although it was to be expected, high school students will do lots of different activities to cure their boredom.
"The day the students showed up is the day it started," Asker stated.
In 2013, when the school opened the computers were introduced to the horrors of downloading games. The librarians have been responsible for taking care of these computers since the beginning.

In order to stop students from downloading games and being distracted from their work, the school has made our Chromebooks unable to perform hardly anything. This guarantees the safety of the student body and technology.
Another student said that they believe the rules are adequate. Although, only being able to play CoolMathGames can sometimes get boring.
"I think that it could be fun to have a couple games downloaded." Said Quinn Collelo. He wishes to be able to have a few school approved downloaded games on the computers to play during lunch.
"It's not an accident that the files are not held in an individual harddrive." She said. The Chromebooks can be monitored anywhere, anytime while connected to the internet. Any internet source, whether at home or at school can be monitored because the laptops are connected to the Google Cloud.
"I want to encourage the administration to continue allowing games to be played, I just hope that sooner or later students get the idea that downloading stuff shouldn't be acceptable in an educational setting," Asker stated.

Pulco (anciennement Cresca) est une marque commerciale française de concentrés de fruits et de boissons prêtes à boire à partir d'oranges et de citrons. Elle appartient depuis 2007 au groupe Orangina Suntory France, lui-même propriété du groupe Suntory.

Historique
En 1971, les groupes Marie Brizard et Ralli lancent le jus de citron Cresca. Deux ans après, la marque change de nom et devient Pulco. Ensuite Pulco Orange sort en 1982 et les versions citron vert et exotiques en 1989.

Le rachat de Marie Brizard par Belvédère entraine la vente de la marque Pulco en 2007 à Orangina Schweppes (qui deviendra Orangina Suntory France après son rachat par Suntory). Pulco est revendu avec Sirop Sport pour 178 millions d'euros.

En 2014, la marque Pulco lance une nouvelle campagne de communication avec un nouveau packaging de la gamme « concentrés » et avec un nouveau slogan .

One of the more frequent challenges faced by all athletes is how to improve performance. Perhaps you express frustrations that you often possess identical – if not superior – physical attributes to your competitors, yet you are consistently being outperformed by that competitor.
In many cases, the problem is rooted in self-doubt, which limits your levels of performance.
Using Sports Hypnosis you will learn how to identify and reframe self-doubt and limiting beliefs. Once this is achieved, you can stop dwelling on past failures or other negative, unwanted feelings and limitations.
Through uniquely tailored hypnosis techniques you can face upcoming challenges with greater confidence, concentration, focus and a powerful belief in your ability express yourself fully in the sport that you have a passion for.
Whether you feel held back by physical fear or by negative comments from competitors, trainers or officials/judges or by performance anxiety. Sports Hypnosis with Martin Kiely Hypnosis Centre, Cork, Ireland can help you replace a "Negative" mindset with the winning edge for successful performances.


Our aged care resident Barry was treated like a king when he watched the Sydney Swans play at the Sydney Cricket Ground last weekend. As a guest of the club, he feasted on pastries and other treats in the members' box, and even met Swans ruckman Kurt Tippett.
'It made me feel really special,' Barry says.
Barry's home is now our Sambell Lodge in Clifton Hill. But throughout his life, he has lived in various temporary housing facilities, and on the streets. 'I know what it's like to be homeless. Living in deserted houses, and under cardboard boxes,' he says.
Although there have been some hard times, Barry also has some fond memories, and wanted to visit some of his old haunts and reminisce about his days in Kings Cross in the 1970s.
Sambell Manager Paul Brophy escorted him on the weekend Sydney trip, which included a visit to Paddy's Market and Circular Quay. Barry also asked to go to the SCG, where he adopted the Swans as his team for day.
At the Brotherhood, we regard care as a tool for living. Many of the older people who live at our aged care residences and are involved in our programs have experienced a lifetime of disadvantage. We strive to make sure they are involved with the community and enjoy security, comfort and choice in life.
To learn more about some of the services we provide in Clifton Hill, visit our Sambell Lodge page.

Sanoma Magazines Zagreb launches women's fashion magazine ELLE
Sanoma Magazines Zagreb, Sanoma Magazines' consumer magazine publisher in Croatia, launches the Croatian edition of the leading women's fashion magazine Elle on 18th of October 2002 after having signed a licence agreement with Hachette Filipacchi Presse S.A. earlier this year. The French publishing group published the first issue of this famous women's magazine in Paris immediately after World War II in 1945. Nowadays Elle has 20 million readers all over the world.
The Croatian version is the 35th edition of Elle worldwide, and the first edition among the ex-Yugoslavia's countries, after Hungary, Poland, the Czech Republic, Romania, Ukraine and Russia.
As a leading women's magazine, Elle has created its worldwide reputation as a prestigious fashion and style trendsetter thanks to its unique concept of "awakening appetite". Although international editions differ, they are linked by a common philosophy and an inspiring and frank treatment of women's issues, emphasizing a creative approach to fashion and lifestyle. This strong and clearly profiled concept has made Elle a distinctive brand that incorporates joie de vivre, femininity and passion for fashion, but also spiritual and cultural openness, an enquiring mind and social involvement. As a result of the enormous interest advertisers take in the Croatian Elle, its first issue counts no less than 252 pages.
Also publishing the monthly magazine Kl!k and the weekly star magazine Story, Sanoma Magazines Zagreb is part of Sanoma Magazines International. Sanoma Magazines International belongs to SanomaWSOY Group's magazine publishing division Sanoma Magazines b.v.


02/05/2019- Chocolate lovers rejoice: the All Things Chocolate Fundraiser benefitting Respite Care of Marinette and Menominee Counties is back this week. The event takes place Thursday, February 7th from 4:30 until 7:30 PM at the Riverside Golf Club in Menominee. Judy Bramschreiber with Respite Care says about 20 vendors will be on site offering up samples of delicious and unique chocolate-inspired creations.
Respite Care is a volunteer-based program that offers in-home support for those caring for a loved one who may be elderly, disabled, or terminally ill. Bramschreiber says the proceeds from the fundraiser are used to provide valuable client education.
The event also features raffles and a live auction. Tickets for the All Things Chocolate fundraiser are $15 in advance or $18 at the door. Advance tickets can be purchased at Jack's Fresh Market, Marinette County Elderly Services, the ADRC in Marinette, or online at mmrespitecare.org.


Just a quick reminder that our Friday Nights will start again on February 9th.
The Friday club nights are designed for players who enjoy playing rapid games. It's mostly for juniors, though adults are welcome to play too. We have included a number of different variants this year that we will run along with the core events, which are the rapid and the blitz. Starts at 6:30pm and runs through till 8:30pm.
The Friday Night Schedule has been adjusted to better suit our players who dislike the fast blitz games (like the regular 5+2) and love playing rapid games (like the moderate 15+5). Now one blitz tournament will only run, after every one (or sometimes two) rapid tournaments. Rapid tournaments will generally run for 3-4 nights, whereas most blitz tournaments will only run for one night – instead of previously, where some of them were run for two nights.
You will also see that the time controls change for different events and seasons (i.e. Slightly slower during winter and slightly faster during spring).
This week we will start the Autumn Knockout 20+0 Tournament (Ro.16/Ro.8, expandable to Ro.32 for 32 players). I encourage you all to come along and play some interesting and exciting chess.
After discussions with the team, we've decided that instead of charging $80/year upfront, it would be fairer to charge non club members, a voluntary $2 per night. This makes it more flexible for the parents and the players. The parents do not need to worry about whether if their child would be interested to play in all of the sessions during the year. It will also be much less of a burden, having to pay it all in one go. This new pricing structure will take effect starting after the July holidays on July 28th.
We've also decided that we will also have holidays during school holidays, so that it gives you guys some extra time and the flexibility to use the time for other things other than chess. This does not apply for this current school holiday, and players should turn up on the 28th of April to play at our 9-round Autumn Rapid.
So far the response to our Friday Night events has been positive and the players are really enjoying their time playing chess at our club.
It's been a struggle to get everything running perfectly but we're getting there.
Hi all, just a reminder that the Autumn Rapid for Friday Night starts on the 28th of April. It runs through three sessions. It is very difficult for me to contact people since I don't have any of your numbers. I will be collecting the fees from non-members (those who only wish to play on Fridays) and will also keep a list of the contact numbers of those who play regularly on our Friday Nights, so I could txt the parents about our club events. Tonight there were very few turnouts, mostly because people thought it is the schools holidays, but our Friday Night also runs through School Holidays too (unless to be changed in the future). It was confusing because we were closed on Good Friday and parents easily forget that we are open the week right after.
Hope to see you guys again in our future events.


Highlight (Cheekbones, Nose, Cupids Bow, Eyebrows)- Anastasia Beverly Hills Glow Kit (Gleam) Layered Hard Candy & Mimosa on top for an intense effect.
That's a gorgeous look on you!
LOVE this look!!! I hope I can get my hands on this palette! And I'm eyeing the BareMinerals concealer too!

Q: Find a linear fractional transformation that maps a line onto a circle. Find a linear fractional transformation that maps $Re(z) = 1/2$ onto the circle $|w-4i| = 4$
My first attempt tries to map this through simple intuitive transformation. I am starting with a vertical line crossing $z = 1/2$ transforming this to the center $T(z) = z - 1/2$ I can now inverse it to get a circle:
$$T(z) = \frac{2}{2z-1}$$
Since the circle has radius 2, and is two units upwards I can then get:
$$T(z) = \frac{4}{2z-1} + 4i$$
However, this is not equal to the suggested answer of $w = 4i - 4 + 4/z$. Does this type of intuition work for simply mappings? Could someone point out the flaw in logic?

A: The transformation $w=\frac1z$ transforms the line $Re(z)=\frac12$ into the circle centred at $1$ with radius $1$.
You may wish to check this for yourself.
Follow this with a translation, so that the transformation $w=\frac1z-1$ will transform the line $Re(z)=\frac12$ into the circle centred at the origin with radius $1$.
Fiollow this with an enlargement of factor $4$, so that the transformation $w=4(\frac1z-1)$ will transform the line $Re(z)=\frac12$ into the circle centred at the origin with radius $4$.
Finally do another translation so the centre of the circle is moved to $4i$.
Therefore the complete transformation is $$w=4(\frac1z-1)+4i=4i-4+\frac4z$$

The Elves', Gnomes' and Little Men's Science Fiction, Chowder, and Marching Society, San Francisco Bay area fan club. The name was inspired by the "Elves, Leprechauns, Gnomes, and Little Men's Chowder and Marching Society" from the comic strip "Barnaby."
Little Mens was founded in either 1948 or 1949; the traditional date in the club was 1948 but no documented activity has been found earlier than 1949. Meetings (initially every Friday night) and other activity was always centered in Berkeley. In the early days the club published the Rhodomagnetic Digest; the club, or members of the club, put on the 1954 SFCon, a combined Worldcon and Westercon. In the 60s, several club members (Ben Stark, Bill Donoho and Alva Rogers) were behind the Pacificon II and Baycon, the 1964 and 1968 Worldcons in the Bay Area.
By the 1960s the club ceased to have an associated fanzine, but meetings continued, usually at Ben Stark's house. Announcements were sent out by Alva Rogers in the form of mimeoed postcards. Later, meetings were usually held at George and Andrea Mitchell's house, followed by an aftermeeting at Brennan's restaurant. Around 1977 meetings began to be held in The Other Change of Hobbit bookstore, and Dave Nee began publishing meeting announcements as The Rhodomagnetic Bulletin, in tribute to the original Digest. During the '60s and '70s the club attracted members from much of the Bay Area, and the when PenSFA was founded in 1968 its meeting schedule was designed to never compete with Little Men's.

This Is the Very First Thing Prince Charles Said When He Heard Princess Diana Died
More than two decades after her death, royal fans are still fascinated with Princess Diana's life and have questions about her death. Since she and Prince Charles had such a tumultuous marriage and a very public separation and divorce, many wondered how her former husband reacted when he heard the news.
Here's the first question Prince Charles asked when he found out that the People's Princess was killed in a terrible crash.

What happened the night Princess Diana was in car accident?
On Aug. 30, 1997, Princess Diana and her boyfriend Dodi Fayed dined at the Ritz Hotel in Paris around 10 p.m. Just after midnight, the pair left the Imperial Suite and headed to Fayed's apartment. They exited the rear of the building in an attempt to escape the paparazzi but to no avail.
They were chased by photogs as they drove off in a Mercedes S-280 limousine. The vehicle was driven by Ritz security head Henri Paul, who was traveling at a high rate of speed in an effort to lose the paps. The car ended up crashing into a pillar in the Pont de l'Alma tunnel.
Paul and Fayed were killed instantly but the princess was still alive. She was suffering from multiple injuries including a severed pulmonary vein and transported to the La Pitie Salpetriere Hospital.
Reader's Digest noted that in the middle of the night Britain's ambassador to France, Michael Jay, was awoken and told about the crash. He then contacted Queen Elizabeth II's private secretary, Robin Janvrin, to notify the monarch.
Where was Prince Charles when he heard about the crash?

Prince Charles was staying at Balmoral Castle in Scotland with his two sons and the rest of the royal family when he got word about what happened to his ex-wife.
The Express noted that in her book The Firm, royal biographer Penny Junor stated "Initial reports were that [Diana] had been badly injured, but was still alive."
Emergency surgery was performed on Diana but she died on the operating table at 4 a.m. on Aug. 31, 1997.
What Charles said when he found out Diana had died?

Upon hearing the grim news Prince Charles "fell apart," according to Tina Brown author of The Diana Chronicles.
Junor revealed that the first question Charles had was: "They're all going to blame me, aren't they?"
He then said, "We're going to see a reaction that we've never seen before. And it could destroy everything. It could destroy the monarchy." To which his secretary, Stephen Lamport, replied: "Yes, sir, I think it could. It's going to be very difficult for your mother, sir."
But Charles was also very concerned about how difficult things would be for Princes William and Harry, and he dreaded having to tell them that their mother was gone. He also wasn't sure if he should wake them up at that moment or let them sleep. Eventually, Queen Elizabeth decided that it was best to let them sleep and they were told in the morning.

Saying that Trent Boult is having a ball in Hamilton would be an understatement. A perfect package for any side, Boult has scored crucial runs at 11, picked wickets with the red cherry and took a nearly impossible catch off his own bowling only two left everyone bewildered. Although it would be early to term him an impactful all-rounder, but Boult has been impressive with the bat on numerous occasion.
A conventional left-arm swing bowler, Trent Boult has been a force to be reckoned across formats. His priceless ability to move the leather prodigiously both ways stand him out from his imminent peers. Boult is the kind of a bowler, who doesn't rely on conditions to move the ball, he can do that on passive surfaces as well.
Let's talk about his contribution with the bat. First and foremost, runs from the tail is frustrating for the bowling side and a bonus to the one achieving it. Not many teams have a tail that yield runs, but New Zealand do bat deep, which is always a huge advantage. At times, it is very difficult for the fielding side to get rid of the tail easily and could be a thorn.
When New Zealand were put into bat first, at 312 for 9, the game was evenly poised between both the side. Boult combined well with Tim Southee to put New Zealand in a better position with a tenacious 61-run stand. He was unbeaten on, 37 off 27 deliveries, which included five boundaries and a couple of sixes. Certainly a top-class stuff under pressure.
"Believe it or not, I take a lot of pride in my batting. Any contribution from not just myself, but the lower order is very pivotal I guess. The first innings is one where we want to go big… a combination of runs as well as keeping their bowlers out there," Boult was quoted in a report by stuff.co.nz.
Boult averages just over 16 in Test cricket, which is outstanding for someone who usually bats at 11. Till date, he has scored 529 runs in 68 Test innings and also has a Test fifty to his name.
After doing a commendable job with the bat, Boult steamed in to wrap four wickets in his basket with the ball. Shimron Hetmyer and Kraigg Brathwaite were building a steady partnership for the third wicket. Boult steamed in and pulled off a screamer to get rid of Hetmyer. No adjectives could have described this incredible effort by Boult. He is a fine combination of brute force and finesse.
Not many expect this kind of effort from a frontline fast bowler. Many seamers have a reputation for being a mediocre fielder, but with the evolving standards of the game, even this breed of cricketers have pulled their game up. This exhibition by Boult is a testament to this amazing fitness and mind-boggling athleticism.
Boult got rid of Sunil Ambris to scalp his second wicket of the innings and didn't stop there. On the next day, West Indies resumed batting with their overnight score of 215 for 8. Boult cleaned up Miguel Cummins and Shannon Gabriel in two consecutive deliveries to wrap things up for 221. New Zealand gained a healthy lead and did well to set a target of 444 runs for the West Indies.
New Zealand declared their innings minutes before the stumps with an intent to scalp an early wicket or two. Boult helped them achieve so by getting rid of Kieran Powell for a duck in his very first over. Moments later, Tim Southee got rid of Hetmyer to put West Indies in hot water at stumps on Day 3. One can expect Boult to trouble the West Indies batsmen and pick wickets once the game resumes on Day 4.
Boult also spoke about the 4-day Tests that has been the talk for the town for a while now. Speaking to the stuff.co.nz, Boult said, "I'd love Test cricket, so I'd love to see it stay as it always has. In terms of shortening it to let it become aggressive, I don't think there's any need. There are other formats for that sort of thing. You want to have an even competition or contest between bat and ball. There's some good wickets going around at the moment and the balls aren't moving, so that's what I'd love to see – I wouldn't want it any shorter to encourage aggression.

Associated with the most terrible diseases and with the epidemics threatening the whole humanity, viruses have bad publicity. But are they only evil? The answer is no. These micro- organisms, which have remained unknown for a very long time, have gradually revealed their surprising capacities to help the prosperity of our species. About half of our genetic inheritance is composed of sequences of viral origins. More surprisingly, a virus that we all hold in our genetic inheritance plays an essential role in the formation of the placenta. Also, some viruses can be invaluable tools to treat genetic diseases or cancers. The world of viruses is eventually revealing its mysteries.

1. Julie and I started way back in the pack, so our first half-mile was spent weaving through said pack of mostly slower runners, in order to find the pace(s) we wanted. That part was kind of fun, but the effort it required probably had something to do with the nasty sideache I had for the entire third mile.
2. I tried to run through the sideache- something I never do. As a result, the next day I still had some bruising. Yow!
3. My decision to run through it paid off, at least in terms of being able to cross the finish line upright – the sideache went away once I caught sight of the finish chute.
4. 5k is definitely a race… just a helluva short one. I almost felt like I didn't deserve all the free food the sponsors had for us and the 10k runners, at the end: popsicles, bananas, weird (but tasty) yeasty-scone things, salted nut rolls, mini Clif bars, cheese, kefir, orange green tea soda.
Well, regardless of whether or not I burned any more calories than I do on my average training run, Steve and I celebrated the success (and beautiful day) by heading over to the Happy Gnome for a pint of Furious and some raspberry french toast.


When Canada's long-anticipated food guide overhaul was recently unveiled, the overriding message was loud and clear: eat more plant-based fare. In its first major update in more than 12 years, the new guide has widened its scope and reminds Canadians to cook at home more often, be mindful in their eating habits and be conscious of food marketing in an effort to limit their intake of sodium, sugar and saturated fats. As many health professionals predicted, the 62-page guide also emphasizes the importance of getting protein from plant-based sources such as beans, nuts and lentils, rather than opting for animal-based foods such as meat and poultry. No doubt the verdict came as a surprise to consumers, who grew up learning about the four distinct food groups that Canada's Food Guide once touted as essential to a healthy diet. So, what exactly has changed? A lot, as it turns out.
Pack a protein punch by introducing more nutrition powerhouses into your everyday diet. Items such as nuts, legumes, seeds, tofu, fish, eggs and lean red meat, among others, helps the immune system stay in tip-top shape and keeps us lean. To make the transition a little easier, stock your fridge and cupboards with hard-boiled eggs, canned beans and protein bars or powders so you'll always have them on hand to add to your favourite recipe or enjoy as a snack.
While many animal-based foods are nutritious and delicious, the new food guide places a stronger emphasis on plant-based foods such as vegetables, fruits, whole grains and plant-based proteins, which can help reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes, heart disease and certain cancers. Although this has drawn the ire of big meat and dairy producers, health professionals claim it's for the betterment of both our health and the environment.
As the latest food guide overhaul makes abundantly clear, water should now and forever be your "beverage of choice." That's right, in an effort to keep us hydrated and curb the amount of sugary soft drinks and juices consumed (not to mention alcohol), water is the way to go from here on in. If that all sounds a little… well …repetitive and dull, consider adding flavour to your H20 with a handful of your favourite fruits, veggie slices or a dash of herbs such as mint or basil. Another option is to incorporate more water-rich foods into your diet, such as cucumber, watermelon and zucchini. If all else fails, there's an app for that! The free Daily Water app can help you track your daily H20 intake and, before you know it, you'll be opting for water over a soft drink or glass of wine at your next meal or social gathering.
Canada boasts a rich diversity that can be seen in the variety of traditions, cultures and lifestyles that make up our nation – and the latest guide wants us to expand our food repertoire by exploring recipes outside our palate's comfort zone. For those less adventurous foodies, you can start by trying something new every day, starting with items in a similar taste group ("flavour families") as one of your favourite foods. For example, if you prefer sweet foods such as corn, then you'll probably also enjoy parsnips and butternut squash.
While the overall health of Canadians is the main focus of the recent food guide updates, our actions – and what we choose to consume on a regular basis – do have a lasting impact on the environment. For example, there is strong evidence that eating more plant-based foods (and, by default, less animal-based products) affects greenhouse gas emissions, the amount of land used and pollutants produced. So go ahead and reduce your carbon footprint by opting for more plant-based proteins.
With an influx of fibre, iron, plant-based protein and B vitamins, whole grains sure pack a considerable nutritional punch. Whole grain kernels are divided into three distinct parts: bran (outer shell packed with fibre and antioxidants), endosperm (middle layer made up of carbs) and germ (inner layer chock-full of minerals, proteins and vitamins). It also allows for a lot of versatility in the kitchen, as quinoa, wild rice, bulgur, oatmeal and millet, among others, are all considered whole grains.
We may not want to admit it, but most of us are serial snackers – whether we're unconsciously doing it while watching TV at the end of a long work day or indulging in an assortment of goodies at a social gathering. A more mindful approach to help you "snack smart" includes selecting healthier versions of some of your go-to staples (instead of fries or chips, for example, you can opt for sweet potato fries. Yum!).
It happens: Produce goes bad, post-party scraps end up in the trash, and sometimes leftovers are tossed out instead of saved for a later date. According to the updated Canada Food Guide, however, a whopping annual average of $31 billion in wasted food is discarded due to impulse shopping, poor storage and unnecessarily large meals. To combat the issue – and help save the planet in the process – consider keeping everything neat and visible in your fridge so you're always aware of what food you have and, when preparing for a meal, be conscious of serving sizes. You can further reduce household waste by preserving leftovers, donating unused non-perishable items and understanding expiration dates. It'll save you money in the long run, as well.
You've seen ads for them everywhere, from TV to Instagram, extolling the virtues of the latest fad diet for quick-fix weight loss. Instead of cutting out certain foods or restricting your intake, consider incorporating more fruits and vegetables into your diet and opting for portion-controlled meals consisting of lean meats and fish. Enjoying a well-balanced breakfast every morning also goes a long way toward keeping your stomach satiated while waiting for your next meal – no diet required.
Sugar, along with saturated fat and sodium, are included in a group of items to cut back on. In fact, soft drinks are the number one source of sugar in the average Canadian diet. Cutting back on processed foods and reading food labels are easy ways to reduce your sugar and sodium intake. In addition, Health Canada has updated its nutrition label regulations, requiring that all sugar-based ingredients be listed in descending order by weight going forward. Food producers have three years to comply with this latest regulation.

Differences in the preferred antipsychotics for acute schizophrenia among young psychiatrists in two regions of Japan
Masaru Tateno, Takahiro Kato, Wakako Nakano, Shigenobu Kanba, Jun Nakamura, Toshikazu Saito
Background: Effective emergency intervention for acute schizophrenia is of great concern to psychiatrists. To investigate whether differences in attitudes toward pharmacotherapy exist in the emergency setting, we surveyed two regions of Japan. Methods: The subjects were 100 psychiatrists. The clinical experience of all subjects was not more than 15 years. A questionnaire with a case vignette was sent to them and returned anonymously. Thirty-five out of 42 subjects in Hokkaido and 30 out of 58 subjects in Fukuoka responded. Results: We found a difference in the preferred route of administration of haloperidol, the agent chosen by 46.2% of the respondents. Most psychiatrists in Hokkaido preferred intravenous administration, but none of the Fukuoka psychiatrists chose this route preferring intramuscular administration. The mean dose of haloperidol was significantly higher in Hokkaido (7.29 ± 2.5 mg) compared to that in Fukuoka (5.56 ± 1.7 mg). Conclusion: The difference in preferred route of administration and dose of haloperidol probably reflects the content of training at each hospital and suggests that early training determines the subsequent clinical custom of each psychiatrist.

Todd Lassa from Motor Trend says that his magazine will report in its January 2009 issue that "Saturn's connection with Opel styling is over. Following the current wave of Saturns, Opel styling will merge with Buick's." Why? The reasons Lassa says make a lot of sense. "First, GM wants to push Opel back upmarket," he says.

But the Native Americans weren't without any useful proto-domesticated plants. Tobacco and chocolate are two that come to mind.
Wait…. what? Take a minute and think about that statement. When you think about crops that were a lot more than proto-domesticated long before europeans made it over to the western hemisphere, what should be the first thing that comes to mind?
Thinking about defining the number of genes present in the maize genome reminded me of an old* story about the trouble of defining what truly represents a gene and how really awesome ideas can sometimes come years before the data needed to support them.
The year is 2002. The first complete version of the human genome is still a year away. The genomes of two plant species have already been published (rice and arabidopsis) but in terms of shere genome size, both species are a drop in the bucket compared to the human genome, or other plant genomes like corn or wheat. But none of this is particularly important except to set the stage.
Two researchers at Rutgers University were sequencing a tiny piece of the maize genome (~0.01%) that surrounded a single gene call bronze1 — the fifth most studied gene in maize — when they found something unexpected.
They had previously 10 identified genes in a single stretch of 32-kb of the maize genome. (A similar gene density throughout the remainder of the maize genome would have resulted in a maize genome containing more than 700,000 genes!) However it was already known that the maize genome was split between small gene-rich islands and vast desolate expanses of transposons (referred to as transposon nests**), and in fact the same study identified a couple of these nests of transposons on either side of their gene rich island (see part A of the second picture in this post).
New maize gene models are out!
These are the official annotations for version two of the maize genome assembly. For the official release I need to point you to a text file on an FTP site (sorry). You can download all the new genomic information here.
In version one the maize sequencing consortium released two separate sets of gene models. A list of 32,400 high confidence gene models known as the maize "filtered gene set", and a list of over 110,000 gene models known as the maize "working gene set." There were very good reasons to do this at the time, but it was a pain for a lot of people since depending on what questions you studied you might use one set of annotations or the other.
The latest version of phytozome (v6) just came out and it includes two genomes people in my lab have been waiting on for a LONG time.
The first is Aquilegia coerulea or Blue Rock Columbine. From a comparative genomics standpoint columbine is important because its a representative of a lineage of eudicots that split off from the two biggest families in that group (the asterid and rosids), very early on. It's also only the second plant species to be sequenced that's known for its flowers (the first was Monkey Flower or Mimulus). Most of the ~300 megabase genome is contained within 156 large scaffolds. So not as big as whole chromosomes, but hopefully large enough for some useful syntenic analysis. The sequenced cultivar of Columbine is "Goldsmith." You can read more details and download the genomic data here.
The second new genome is even more exciting as far as I'm concerned, but that's because I'm a grass guy. Foxtail millet (Setaria italica) is an important crop in its own right and comes from a tribe of grasses called the Paniceae that was previously unrepresented by any sequenced genome. The Paniceae are relatives of the Andropogoneae, the tribe that contains both maize/corn and sorghum (as well as cool unsequenced species like sugarcane) and the addition of Setaria will do a lot to help balance out grass phylogenetic comparisons.* A second species of Setaria (Setaria viridis) is also being sequenced (likely using this species as a road map to assemble the genome) which is being pushed by one of my old bosses as a good genetic model to study the C4 photosynthesis that makes species in both the Paniceae and Andropogoneae so much more efficient at photosynthesis than species that still do plain old vanilla** C3 photosynthesis. Almost all of the Setaria genome is contained within 24 large scaffolds, which should definitely be big enough for the syntenic analysis my lab likes to do. More details and download links here.
Normally I'd dig up some pictures and interesting trivia about these species, but it 4:40 in the morning out here on the west coast, so I'm going to wrap this post up and wish you folks on the east coast good morning.
*I hope to explain what I mean by this in a followup post, but I've learned to be careful about promising ANY updates in advance.
**I don't know what kind of photosynthesis vanilla plants carry out.
***I'm sure both groups will beat the deadline for getting their genomes out the door, but I can think of at least one example of a research group sitting on a completely genome indefinitely which is why having early data release and expiration dates on exclusivity is so important.

Q: Rules for constructing new axes for resolving a force Take a look at the following picture

Obviously,  constructing $u-v$ axes allow us to resolve the force into two components. My question is what are the rules for constructing such axes? It seems to me it is a matter of trial and error approach as long as the parallelogram is successfully drawn.

A: The choice of axes is usually dependent on the problem in hand.
In two dimensions all you need to define is two non-parallel axes which are in the plane containing the forces.
It is often the case that the two axes are at right angles to one another but they do not need to be so.
One way to understand what is need is to think how you might represent the coordinates of a point on a plane.  All you need is two axes but they do not necessary have to be at right angles to one another but they must not be parallel to one another.
In the example that you have given the directions of the two axes might have been chosen to be parallel to the girders shown in the diagram.
The components of force $F$ in the $\hat u$ and $\hat v$ directions would therefore be the longitudinal forces acting on the girders.
So the relationship between the force $\vec F$ and the components of the force in the two directions defined by the axes $F_{\rm u}$ and $F_{\rm v}$ would be $\vec F = F_{\rm u} \hat u + F_{\rm v} \hat v$ which as a diagram might be drawn as a triangle of parallelogram of forces.

A: The main rule is that you (usually) wish to resolve force components along Cartesian coordinate axes. This means that the axes should be perpendicular to one another.
Many - especially the elementary - functions in mathematics are rather "simple" in Cartesian coordinate systems. You are welcome to create other non-Cartesian axes, but then you can't directly use many of your usual functions, geometric and trigonometric formulas and the like such as the sine, cosine and tangent relations, dot- and cross-product formulas etc.
You can still use those formulas, of course, by first converting non-Cartesian coordinates to Cartesian ones, and then plugging them in. This might not be the easiest way to go about solving a task, so it is usually recommended to keep component axes Cartesian.
How you place and angle your Cartesian coordinate axes is then entirely up to you. Place them in whichever manner that seems to simplify your work the most. In your example I would just keep the axes horizontal and vertical as always, since that causes one of the vectors to be parallel to an axis and thus we have reduced the number of sine and cosine terms that will appear in the resolved components.
(The second-most relevant coordinate system that you might want to use in certain specific "spherical" cases is the polar coordinate system. In such fairly rare situations (depending on your field or work/study) it might be the case that the resolved components become so much simpler in polar coordinates that it is worth the extra coordinate conversion step.)

Hi all - we just applied this hotfix: BMC Digital Workplace 18.02.00 – Smart IT 2.0.00.001 Cumulative Hotfix 06-25-2018 - Build 54 - we had Build 14 prior. One of the things this new hotfix introduced was an expanded Resolution field (yay!) so you didn't have to hover over the "i" icon to see the Resolution. However, it's broken and doesn't show the "full" resolution. It has a "show more" link, which doesn't work (boo!).
Submitted a ticket to BMC and the latest response was "I checked and there is not a fix for this, nor plans to fix as it works as expected in 18.05". The ironic thing is that this new functionality was introduced in a 2.0/18.02 Hotfix, and Smart IT 2.0 is still under FULL SUPPORT until 05-Dec-2020.
At any rate, has anyone else encountered this and what did you do to fix it?
I just downloaded the latest hotfix - BMC Digital Workplace 18.02.00 – Smart IT 2.0.00.001 Cumulative Hotfix 08-01-2018 - Build 73 - but haven't installed it yet. Read through the document and there was no mention about the Resolution field issue, so we're a bit leery on installing it because we're not sure on what it's going to break next. Will try to install it on our prototype environment next week, and I'll post an update here if we find out anything.
Thanks in advance for anyone's feedback and/or help regarding this!!
We have build 97 and have ' icon to expand resolution field.
We were in similar situation last week where BMC introduce Refresh console button in latest hot fixes by flag explicitStatsRefresh.
This flag is unfortunately not localized and shows correct value in English but not in german locale.
We had to turn it off and BMC says they will fix this regression defect in 18.08.
Hi Sidhdesh - I didn't know there is a build 97. Are you still on Smart IT 2.0/18.02 or are you on 18.05- can you pls share/paste your Smart IT version from this URL (//<Smart_IT_server>/ux/rest/version)?
If you're still on Smart IT 2.0, and in your build (97) - does the expand Resolution field functionality work fine? I may have to request that hotfix build. We had just requested earlier this week and they gave us build 73 (that I mentioned above).
May be this is no hot fix build version I dont remember.
Hi Sidhesh - that looks like a correct build number - and can you confirm that the Resolution expand/"show more" link works correctly in that build?
If so, I'll send it up to Support and have them send me that build instead.


M K: Thank you for the recipes and the delicious food and attention to detail. Everything was absolutely perfect.
K B: I will certainly advise Exotic that your service was exceptional. We will likely return next year and will keep you on our radar.
Andrea T: Thank you so much! We really enjoyed your meals. It was one of things Carly mentioned as a positive thing about the week. She's been talking about the chocolate pie since we've returned. It was so nice to not have to worry about food preparation all week. It was a treat for me! Thank you!
Rob A: Really big thanks for the cooking class today, I really enjoyed it and I'm looking forward to doing more in the kitchen.
Shizuka S: Joseph, Lauren and I had a fantastic evening. Thank you for the wonderful experience. We wanted to make sure we thanked YOU properly...We are dreaming of our French chateau now that we want you to come out to with us!! Merci!!
A T: Thanks to you both as well! Everyone was thrilled with the evening and I had leftover cake for breakfast the next morning. I'd call it a success all around. If we find ourselves back in Miami for a retreat you'll be top of our list.

F B: It was a great pleasure to have you here. We enjoyed very much your cuisine and so did all our friends. But it was your very company that was a real pleasure for us. Your courtesy and sensibility make your presence always discreet and agreeable.
It is amazing to realize how different nationality, language, occupation are all cancelled by something as simple -but rear- as good manners.
A S: I can't thank you both enough for all your hard work and individual attention for me and my boys. Not only are you excellent chefs, but you both have hearts of gold and I truly enjoyed meeting you both - you helped us so much through a very difficult journey. You made a very big impact on the boys and I know they won't forget you.
A S [additional]:I just wanted to let you know how truly incredible Chef Bryan and Joseph were!! Not only was their food amazing, but their attention to detail and to the specific needs of the boys was admirable. They made them so comfortable and were a nice 'buffer' especially on the first day. They are very special individuals and made our stay during this very difficult time much more pleasant.
Bob D: Thank you so much. The girls and I loved everything you prepared and really enjoyed your company. Safe travels!
Kathy A: Thanks Bryan! It just wasn't the same without you this morning!! It was great meeting you … Hope you relax and enjoy the rest of your week! Stay In touch!
Sekia J: I just want to applaud you guys and thank you again for a fantastic dinner. You gentleman were amazing from the planning process all the way up to the dinner. Thank you for putting up with me and thank you for exceeding my expectations. It was a pleasure working with you and I have you on file in case I need to hire a traveling chef for an event.
Hitesh G: I wish to express my thanks to you guys for pulling off such a romantic dinner! I am recommending you guys to my sister in law who does catering events.
Paola B: Hi Joseph and Bryan, Just wanted to say that you were the best part of the wonderful holiday in Miami. Hope to see you soon again! Take care!

Francesca B: We landed safely in cold Finland this morning, and already we miss Florida! We also enjoyed a lot the quality of your service and the kindness that you reserved to us. Actually, we loved everything, from the starters to the desserts. But especially we were impressed by your professionalism and kindness. We will certainly want to enjoy your services again!

David W: We really enjoyed the evening, the YaDa team were good hosts and their take on the boniatillo was a novelty for me at least.
Johanna S: …went the other night (to the London Havana Nights PopUp) and had a really nice evening. The cafe was lovely and intimate and the gents were fantastic hosts.…the beef is awesome and the Mojitos were some of the best I've had in London! Great time had and I'd definitely recommend it to all.
Lauren L: Best pop-up ever! Gorgeous people! Amazing food!
Deon N: Thank you so much, you have reopened a world I thought was lost to me. Not many people would understand that but you did and I am grateful to you.
George B: Thanks for your patience and your excellent service and sharing your great talent.
Kim K: Guys – thank you so much for another (corporate cooking class) EXCELLENT JOB!
Captain James Archer of the Il Sole: Chef Joseph carried out his duties diligently and to a high standard. He was called in at extremely short notice and did an excellent job of provisioning and preparing for the charter. Chef Joseph's food was of high quality and the guests were extremely happy with all the food. He was well like by the crew and is always positive. I would have no hesitation in recommending Chef Joseph to a future employer in the yachting field.
S Lloyd: Food is SO tasty and wholesome! Many Thanks.
Kim K: Joseph and Bryan – just wanted you both know how much we enjoyed your session (corporate cooking class/team building) today. We had 16 folks do the survey and on ALL your workshop received the highest marks possible! The response was terrific!

Bev W: Chef Joseph cooked an amazing dinner!! Of course, if you wanted me to say more ...

What a delightful, food centered evening!

Chef Joseph was delightful and very informative and we all really enjoyed his presentation & as far as the food goes, we came back for seconds. Enough said.
Will definitely keep you in mind for our catered lunches and I will pass on the tale of the Famous Traveling Bag.

Barbara O'Keefe: Meant to call you yesterday to let you know how successful everything was. It was beautiful and delicious and everybody loved everything. I have the feeling you will have three new places to cater. We, I, especially LOVED the [appetizer] with the fresh fig and mint on top. What a treat to the pallet. The salmon was excellent. The little tarts were wonderful. Everyone had their favorite and others liked them all. And they all disappeared because they loved it so much, they were little piggies. Thank you so VERY, VERY, much! Thank you again.
Nicole M. Berger DDS, South Florida Smile Spa: We would like to thank YaDa Chef for helping last nights VIP event a success! The food was outstanding, the post-procedure was flowing and the patients were glowing! Thank you to everyone who helped make it amazing! Stay tuned for the next event.
Ana Arias: I want to thank you and let you know that everything was first class, your service, the good food, and the set up. The groom and bride enjoyed it very much and were very thankful for you gift, they love it. If a catering service is needed in the future, you can make sure that I will contact you again and or recommend your services. Thanks again, My thanks to you and Joseph for the great food and ease provided to keep our guests feed. They loved the food, and are still raving about it! I stayed at my mom's and will be here most of today.
My name is Darren H. and I have been a regular customer of YaDa Chef for over two years. In the over 400+ meals Joseph's company has prepared for me, I have very much enjoyed nearly every one of them (99%) and many have been particularly notable. His menu is tailored, healthy, and varied. His prices are also competitive. I expect to remain a loyal customer for years to come. Please let me know if I can help address any specific questions. Enjoy.
Stu Goldman: have just received a note from YaDa Chef, asking if I would send you a note saying that I am a live customer, even after having interacted with YaDa. I have not been informed as to the 'why' that brought you to YaDa Chef, but I would be happy to give you feed-back (if you pardon the expression) on my experience with the Dietary Duo.
I was referred to them by a third party (dietician) who was creating a diet plan for me due to an illness. I met personally with YaDa and based upon the recommended ingredients, we created a menu that, despite my personal aversion with veggies and stuff that is good for me, was actually delicious, interesting and healthy... the first two on that list were important to me. I am a meat & potatoes" kind of guy by nature, but the combinations of ingredients and flavors made YaDa's deliveries of meals tasty both in flavors and as an experience.
If you are looking for caterers who are interested in YOUR welfare, convenience AND in their own chosen profession, you are not making a mistake in trusting these two guys! Their intellectual curiosity in creating and preparing a meal plan for me based upon a strange list of acceptable food-stuffs was laudable and quite frankly amazing; they thought outside of the box and still came up with palatable dishes...and under the stringent circumstances that alone was a miracle.
My health is much improved with their help and they have taught me how to prepare meals that are a lot heathier than those I was eating before.
Feel free to call me direct if you need verify that I am indeed a real person and that I am not in the employ of YaDa Chef... one look at my resume will assure you that I am basically unemployable by anyone... but I'm feeling fine!
Chef Joseph received a write up in the Treasure Coast News! Since 2000, one name has led the Ft. Lauderdale catering scene in freshness, and that's YaDa Chef. Owned and operated by Chef Joseph Yacino, YaDa Chef strives to make clients feel good about what they eat. Offering traditional corporate and private catering for gatherings and a special daily menu for food preparation complete with at-home delivery, YaDa Chef has enjoyed the highest marks of quality and customer satisfaction in south Florida for over ten years."All of our food is 100% natural organic, fresh, and homemade. Never prepackaged, and never frozen. A lot of people in my industry can't say that," Yacino said.And it's true. Many caterers and personal chefs "cheat" by using some ingredients that have been prepackaged or frozen to keep costs down, but YaDa Chef made a commitment from day one to only use the highest quality organic, fresh ingredients in every item from hors d'oeuvres to dessert and breakfast through dinner.When asked about the company name, Mr. Yacino chuckled, explaining he gets that question a lot. His partner and co-founder of the business, Bryan Daniel first suggested a conglomeration of their names, and Yacino invented YaDa. "We like it because Ya and Da both mean 'yes' in other languages, so it's a positive name, like saying "Yes! Yes! Chef!" he explained.Chef Yacino's career has taken him all over the world, including England, Scotland, France, Greece, Italy, and Norway, as well as the United States. His time in each country taught him the subtleties of the local signature tastes and techniques. Thankful for the opportunity to study in so many different places, the Chef explains that each country and culture has something to bring to the table, literally, in the form of food, style, and taste.One unique service YaDa chef offers is discounted meals for delivery to homes. They have been a big hit in South Florida and are perfect for people who are too busy to cook and are tired of fast, unhealthy food that is usually their only option in their on-the-go lifestyles. The menu includes fresh and healthy dishes like Teriyaki Beef Stir Fry with Rice, Orange Salmon with Roast Potatoes and Vegetable, and Baked Bell Peppers Stuffed with Orzo and Vegetable.These meals are prepared fresh every day according to a menu that Mr. Yacino sets up every week. It's rare that someone says they don't like the day's special, and the Chef explained that he spends extra effort keeping the menu varied and suited for all tastes.When asked what the best part about his job, Joseph Yacino says, "I love teaching people how to cook, and I love teaching people how to eat healthier and make healthy eating choices. Food that's good and good for you, that's the YaDa way." So if you're in the area or planning an event, remember YaDa Chef can make you some wonderful, fresh food that you won't feel guilty for eating.YaDa Chef serves the Ft. Lauderdale and South Florida areas. Call 954-367-9232 or visit http://www.yadachef.com.


I loved this, the quotes you chose and your comments. Letting go of desire, desire for particular outcomes, for things to be the way I want them is one I struggle with. But when I manage to do so, to whatever degree, I always feel such amazing peace. Thank you for this.
Hi Deborah. I'm so glad you enjoyed the post! One of the central themes of this text is that you should focus on your actions without attachment to the outcomes. But that is so counter-intuitive in our results-driven society. But you're right, when you can have a moment of detachment from results and desires, you feel so much better.
Thanks for taking the time to read my post and for sharing your thoughts. Have a great day!
I like the translation you chose. A poet who understands the ideas!
Right? He clearly has spent time contemplating this and similar texts.
I'm reading this at just the right time, Jeff. I do hope that we all still have the capacity to change. I remember reading this for a Philosophy and Religion class in college. I can't imagine that I understood what I was reading, though. Do you think you had the capacity to understand philosophy as a teenager? Great post!

Q: How to extract integers from a random string without using regex? Say I have an arbitrary string like
"abc 123 def 456"

How would I take out the integers so that it can print "123456" without using regex?

A: for your specific question, you can just use .isdigit()
s = "abc 123 def 456"

for ch in s:
    if ch.isdigit():
        print(ch, end='')
print()
