Biografia

Inizia l'attività di attore di varietà e di caratterista; si trasferisce a Roma e nel 1964 entra nel gruppo torinese de i Brutos in sostituzione di Giorgio Astore; con il gruppo intraprende l'attività discografica e continua quella di attore. A partire dal 1973 all'attività con il gruppo affiancherà quella di attore da solo, comparendo spesso in commedie all'italiana.

Notevole è la sua partecipazione al film Il pap'occhio di Renzo Arbore, in cui canta Non correre papà, parodia delle canzonette melodico-strappalacrime. Uno dei suoi ruoli più noti è quello del prete che incontra Lino Banfi nella surreale scena degli schiaffi di Vieni avanti cretino del 1982. L'anno successivo recita in "FF.SS." - Cioè: "...che mi hai portato a fare sopra a Posillipo se non mi vuoi più bene?", sempre di Renzo Arbore, in cui in coppia con Gigi Proietti, nella parte di Curtatone, interpreta Montanara (dalla celebre Battaglia di Curtatone e Montanara).

Negli ultimi anni si ammala di Alzheimer; le sue condizioni si aggravano alla fine di giugno 2012, quando entra in coma. Muore il 9 luglio 2012 all'età di 78 anni.

Curiosità

 Nel film  L'onorevole con l'amante sotto il letto viene doppiato dallo stesso Lino Banfi.

For "snowboarding" on Snow, Grass, or even Sand dunes!
Kids love riding scooters and skateboards, but usually only do it in dry weather, and only on concrete or asphalt. The amazing SKI SKOOTER from Geospace opens up new worlds of exploration for young riders -- snow for one, but also grassy hills and even sand dunes! The Skooter works on flat terrain as well as hills...just leave one foot on the board and push with the other, using the handle for balance and directional control. In dry, deep snow, Ski Skooter acts like a snowshoe, allowing riders to float on the surface. Kids stay glued to the Ski Skooter thanks to its sturdy folding handle and non-skid surface. Made of monster-tough polyurethane. Traveling with the Ski Skooter is easy...simply fold down the handle and carry it by hand or strap it onto a pack. Available in Green, Blue or Red.

Q: How to store and display map location in wagtails I am trying to create an API for contact us page. The API take location through map click at wagtail admin panel and send API too. For now I want to know how can I ask user to pin a location and store it in my model. I cant think of anything to do.
class Contact_UsPage(Page): pass
My page name is Contact us thank you.
I tried looking at official wagtails documentation and couldn't find anything that would help me.

A: Not sure what you are doing but Googling "wagtail maps" returned some interesting looking options - including this blog post https://torchbox.com/blog/simple-maps-wagtail-google-and-geopy/ and this CodeRed block https://docs.coderedcorp.com/wagtail-crx/features/blocks/contentblocks/googlemap.html

Q: Linear mixed model: Adding an "irrelevant" continuous predictor cancels effect of interest I have a strange situation with a linear mixed model I can't make any sense of.
I have an LMM specified with one categorical predictor (cat_pred; with the three levels A, B, C) and one dependent variable (DV) where I specified random intercepts for my participants (par). The model looks like the following:
lmer(DV ~ cat_pred + (1|par), data = mydata)
My cat_pred shows clear effects on the DV
Fixed effects:
                Estimate Std. Error       df t value Pr(>|t|)
(Intercept)       3.1250     0.1541 114.0570  20.278  < 2e-16 ***
cat_predB        -1.2500     0.2052  78.0000  -6.092 3.96e-08 ***
cat_predC        -1.4250     0.2052  78.0000  -6.945 1.00e-09 ***

I now add a continuous predictor (con_pred) and want to see if there is an interaction between my cat_pred and con_pred. So I add it to the model by specifying an interaction.
lmer(DV ~ cat_pred*con_pred + (1|par), data = mydata)
When I add it to the model, all my significant effects vanish.
Fixed effects:
                           Estimate Std. Error        df t value Pr(>|t|)
(Intercept)                 2.50835    0.46787 110.76817   5.361 4.56e-07 ***
cat_predB                  -0.62591    0.62043  76.00000  -1.009    0.316
cat_predC                  -0.63014    0.62043  76.00000  -1.016    0.313
con_pred                    0.01060    0.00759 110.76817   1.397    0.165
cat_predB:con_pred         -0.01073    0.01006  76.00000  -1.066    0.290
cat_predC:con_pred         -0.01366    0.01006  76.00000  -1.357    0.179

When I now run the model just with the con_pred I see, that it is not at all related to my DV.
Fixed effects:
             Estimate Std. Error        df t value Pr(>|t|)
(Intercept) 2.090e+00  3.207e-01 1.180e+02   6.517 1.85e-09 ***
con_pred    2.470e-03  5.202e-03 1.180e+02   0.475    0.636

So this made me curious and I started to try out the effect of different other continuous predictors that have no association to my DV. Every time I add them to the model (it does not depend which one I use) my cat_pred loses it's significance. I even added random continuous variables just to check it.
Is this a power problem? My sample is rather small with N=40.
Thanks a lot for your input!!!

A: In DV ~ cat_pred*con_pred, you have an interaction, so the main effects of cat_pred are estimated at a baseline of con_pred == 0, and the interaction terms, cat_predB:con_pred and cat_predC:con_pred, indicate how this effects change as you move away from this baseline.
In contrast, in DV ~ cat_pred + con_pred or plain old DV ~ cat_pred, the main effects of cat_pred are estimated across all the data.
Try plotting DV ~ con_pred at each different value of cat_pred to get a better sense of what's going on.
Update: Also, yes, that's a very small sample for a model with 6 terms.


For such an important role, there were surprisingly few nominations in this category this year, resulting in just three finalists. The judges hope that next year far more celebrants and funeral directors will nominate these unsung heroes who oversee thousands of funerals each year, ensuring that everything goes to plan.

THE LOVES OF JUDITH
by Meir Shalev ‧ RELEASE DATE: March 22, 1999
Shalev's third English translation (Esau, 1994) is set in post-WWII Palestine. Here, the author's usual village legend-spinning turns out to be half stuffing and half roast goose. Illegitimate young Zayde Rabinovitch has three alleged fathers—and each contributes something or other to the boy's physical appearance. Widower Moshe Rabinovitch, who was reared by his mother as a yellow-haired girl until he was 12 and nature could no longer be denied, provided Zayde with those blond tresses (and later with a farm); Jacob Sheinfeld, who once raised canaries—and who was abandoned by his beautiful wife Rebecca because of his infatuated pursuit of Zayde's single mother, Judith—gave him droopy shoulders, a fine house richly furnished, and empty birdcages; and cattle-dealer Globerman, as coarse and sensual as Fyodor Karamazov, bestowed upon him huge feet and plenty of money. Zayde, who suffers under his name partly because it means "grandfather," is born to Judith in her 11th year of living alone, her ex-soldier husband having deserted her and fled to America. Each of Zayde's three would-be male progenitors declares himself to be the child's actual father. The high point arrives with the appearance of an Italian ghost whose wondrous ability to imitate human forms, voices, and actions seems to be leading to a fulfilling end (which may reveal Zayde's physical parentage) until a blow from the gods robs us of any resolution—any emerging from character, that is. The story, as retold to or by Zayde during the course of four meals from the hand of Jacob over three decades, gasps with incidental lore and pithy sayings, which may or may not fit the plot but which prick dash hopes that Shalev will ever come to grips with his tale. Even so, the village mythologizing and the proverbs ("He couldn't say the names of wine, but his frying pan laughed and his knife danced in his hand—) will warm the hearts of many.

2 years ago, Cheltenham's Isbourne Holistic Centre asked me to be their Open Day Speaker. At that talk, a lovely lady attended who confessed to me afterwards with tears in her eyes, that she had just been diagnosed with an ovarian tumour. She wanted to treat the tumour naturally and began building a team around herself of experts, each with their speciality, to help her through.
I went down to their home in Dorset one weekend soon afterwards and taught her how to juice (and more!), bringing all the equipment and supplements with me - mobile detox, if you will!
2 years later, the tumour is still 1a, she feels energetic and good and decides this summer she wants to have it taken out with a hysterectomy. Her GP could not believe how much energy she had and that the tumour hadn't spread. This past week, she had a full body scan come back clear - the cancer hasn't spread anywhere else in her body. She kept in touch with me before and after the op, I prayed my socks off for her, and she reports she's feeling great. The nurses keep offering her pain relief but she isn't in pain and believes the power of prayer has helped hugely! She went home shortly after her op having no reason to stay any further in hospital.
On Sunday, I gave a talk at the Cheltenham Food & Drink Festival. It was wonderful, as always, to meet new people and I love the question time afterwards. It still surprises me, how much confusion there is around what to eat and how to improve ones lifestyle.
In our programmes, I like to explain that there are ACTIVE things we can do and PASSIVE things. Getting a houseplant in by your bed which pumps out oxygen at night (like this one) is an inexpensive passive thing you can do for yourself and loved ones.
An ACTIVE thing you can do is make yourself lemon water to drink every day (especially first thing in the morning) and make, or buy yourself, a green juice. It's exam season now in our household so I've been making, literally a gallon of green juice in the morning to energise the whole family...yes, it takes me about an hour to do, BUT, I think it's worth it!
Here's our latest information sheet, which introduces you to a delicious belly-fat-reducing coffee alternative, which I have been introducing clients to in the detox. I haven't yet met anyone who didn't find the taste palatable, never mind, enjoyable - so you won't waste your money by giving it a try!
Our next cookery course is 9-12 July and our next dinner party is 18th July. I'd love to see you next month so do come and join us - you'll learn loads, love the food and make some happy memories spending time with lovely people.

AIB Sponsorship Announcement
We are delighted to announce a three-year agreement with AIB, who join Arthur Cox as an official sponsor of the Institute.
Federico Fabbrini, Director of the DCU Brexit Institute and Professor of European Law at the School of Law & Government, DCU, said: "Brexit negotiations are presently at a critical juncture. Against the backdrop of prevailing political uncertainty and unexpected institutional developments, the coming months and, indeed, years are critical in shaping the economic and social landscapes of the UK, Ireland and the EU for future generations. Today's announcement of a three-year sponsorship by AIB of the DCU Brexit Institute is a vote of confidence in the Institute, and recognition of its contribution to date in promoting understanding of the challenges and opportunities that Brexit poses for business, government and society at large."
Marking the sponsorship announcement, Mary Whitelaw, AIB Customer Treasury Services said: "AIB is delighted to sponsor the DCU Brexit Institute. This partnership will bring valuable insights to AIB group. We will continue to back our corporate and business customers, sharing with them key findings and advice to prepare them for various Brexit eventualities. We look forward to a dynamic and productive partnership with the DCU Brexit Institute which will benefit our customers."
Welcoming the announcement, Professor Daire Keogh, Deputy President of DCU, commented: "This commitment by AIB to the DCU Brexit Institute is hugely significant and most welcome. The Brexit Institute is an example of the engagement for which DCU is renowned. Brexit presents Ireland with an unprecedented challenge, but the Institute brings together the resources of the university and leaders in society and the economy to address its implications. We are delighted that AIB has joined us in this initiative; their support will add an important dimension to the Institute's reflections and will greatly facilitate continued analysis to inform Ireland's navigation of the Brexit challenge."
With AIB's support, the DCU Brexit Institute will continue to play a key national and international role in tracking the developments of the withdrawal process, starting with a kick-off conference for the new academic year on 'Brexit by Design or by Default?' (Thursday, 6 September, The Helix, DCU.

Q: Replace contents of first column which have cyclic structure I have a file in which the first column is to be changed, for example, I have the following file (In the original file I have multiple columns but truncating the following to 2 columns, it may have empty lines at the end of the file).
test.txt:
0 a
2 b
3 c
4 d
5 e

I need to change the contents of the first column from, 0 -> 2, 2 -> 3 , 3 -> 5 , 4 -> 0, 5 -> 4 and my final file should become,
2 a
3 b
5 c
0 d
4 e

I tried using awk as follows,
awk '$1=="0"{$1="2"} $1=="2"{$1="3"} $1=="3"{$1="5"} $1=="4"{$1="0"} $1=="5"{$1="4"};1' test.txt

but as awk doesn't read line by line and change the required contents, the output was,
4 a
4 b
4 c
0 d
4 e

Can anyone help me with converting to what I need, python, sed, or awk, or any scripting tool is welcomed.

A: AWK actually reads line by line, and you will only needed to add next statement after printing for every assignments, so the rest of the codes will be skipped.
awk '$1=="0"{ $1="2"; print; next }
     $1=="2"{ $1="3"; print; next }
     $1=="3"{ $1="5"; print; next }
     $1=="4"{ $1="0"; print; next }
     $1=="5"{ $1="4"; print; next }1' infile

or instead using a control flag:
awk '!s && $1=="0"{ $1="2"; s=1 }
     !s && $1=="2"{ $1="3"; s=1 }
     !s && $1=="3"{ $1="5"; s=1 }
     !s && $1=="4"{ $1="0"; s=1 }
     !s && $1=="5"{ $1="4"; s=1 }
                  { print; s=0  }' infile

But you could also do it all as like following:
awk -F'( )' 'BEGIN{ split("2 1 3 5 0 4", map) }
$1!=""{ $1=($1+1 in map)?map[$1+1]:$1 }1' infile

with the split(string, arryName) function we create an array called map with the indexes and values as following that splits based on the FS (default is Space/Tabs)
Index        Value
map[<0>+1] -->   2
map[<1>+1] -->   we choice it 1 so it will be unchanged for <1> --> 1
map[<2>+1] -->   3
map[<3>+1] -->   5
map[<4>+1] -->   0
map[<5>+1] -->   4

<#> the number within angles are the values from the first column and since array's indexes in awk starts from 1 not 0, so we are adding one to column value and then get the corresponding value from the map array.

To be generalized solution (but I will still use above one since almost the user defined keys/values are sequential and that array indexes can be used as the keys, but) here you go if that is otherwise:
awk -F'( )' 'BEGIN{ len=split("0 2 2 3 3 5 4 0 5 4", map) }
{ for(i=1; i<=len/2; i+=2 ) if($1==map[i]){ $1=map[i+1]; break} }1' infile

A: Using GNU sed with extended regex mode turned ON -E. We first isolate the first column and run the y/// command which shall transliterate the pattern space (now it has just the first column) according to the scheme. Then we recall the original line and take the 2nd column onwards from it and discard the original first column.
sed -e '
  /^\S\s/!b
  s//&\n/;h
  s/\n.*//
  y/02345/23504/
  G;s/\n.*\n//
' file

2 a
3 b
5 c
0 d
4 e

Other approaches can be:
perl -lpe '
  s/^\S\s/
      $& =~ tr[02345]
              {23504}r
  /ex;
' file

Or as a ine-liner:
perl -lpe 's|^\S\s|$& =~ tr/02345/23504/r|e' file

python3 -c 'import sys
ifile = sys.argv[1]
with open(ifile) as fh:
  for l in fh:
    l = l.strip()
    p = l.find(" ")
    if p == 1:
      f1,rest = l[:p],l[p:];print(f1.translate(f1.maketrans("02345","23504")),rest,sep="")
    else:print(l)
' file

awk -v u="02345" -v v="23504" '
  BEGIN {
    gsub(/./, "&" FS, u)
    gsub(/./, "&" FS, v)
    split(u, a)
    for (i=1; i<=split(v,b); i++)
      c[a[i]] = b[i]
  }
  $1 in c{$1=c[$1]}1
' file

A: $ awk 'BEGIN{split("1 3 5 0 4",map); map[0]=2} {$1=map[$1]} 1' file
2 a
3 b
5 c
0 d
4 e

A: With the shell:
while read -r idx rest; do
  case $idx in
    0) idx=2 ;;
    2) idx=3 ;;
    3) idx=5 ;;
    4) idx=0 ;;
    5) idx=4 ;;
  esac
  echo "$idx $rest"
done < test.txt

To write the output back to the original file, one of
tmp=$(mktemp)
while ... < test.txt > "$tmp" && mv "$tmp" test.txt

or install moreutils and
while ... < test.txt | sponge test.txt

Or perl:
perl -pe '
    BEGIN {%map = (0=>2, 2=>3, 3=>5, 4=>0, 5=>4)}
    s{(\d+)}{$map{$1} // $1}e
' test.txt


I created maybesopoetry to share my musings about poetry and the writing life with an audience wider than my kid (who is actually super-insightful), my dog, and my three cats. It's embarrassing to admit that I talk poetry with my cats, especially since I can't abide their theories on post-modernism, but it's a fact that the older I get the fewer people I have readily at hand to discuss writing, poetry, and literature.
I plan to also use this blog to review books and to promote the work of women poets and writers. As the youngest of three sisters, I've been inspired by women throughout my life. I'm drawn to women's voices in poetry, and I'm amazed at the energy and innovation I see in their work. If you're a poet or writer who would like me to consider reviewing your book on this blog, please contact me. Chapbooks are welcome, too! Down the line, I envision including in this blog feature articles and interviews with poets and writers I admire.
Because this is a new endeavor, I don't know where it will lead me. It's a bit scary to eschew conversation with my cats for the sake of a human readership, so I appreciate anyone who takes the time to read and respond to my posts here. I welcome the dialogue!

GOP Pounces by Allowing Democrats to Vote on Their Own Idea
By David Harsanyi
There were 'clear goals' on an FAQ page about the Green New Deal written by its author (since pulled by Ocasio-Cortez's office after it was widely mocked), including the elimination of 90 percent of our energy (including nuclear) and the eventual elimination of most cars, air travel and beef.
"The Green New Deal is the only way to save the earth from utter extinction. If you keep standing in the way, troglodytes, we are doomed."
"OK, Democrats, let's vote on your nonbinding resolution."
"Why are you sabotaging our legislation?!"
If you think this is an exaggeration of the illogical position of Democrats and their Green New Deal, I give you Sen. Ed Markey.
As soon as next week, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell will seize on actual liberal positions to paint Democrats as radicals. He's going to put the Green New Deal up for a vote. Or, here's how The Associated Press put it: "McConnell wields Green New Deal as bludgeon against Dems." Now, of course, such a vote would be a political stunt, because the Green New Deal, introduced earlier this month, is, in many ways, a political stunt.
"This isn't a new Republican trick," tweeted Markey, who co-sponsored this nonbinding resolution that will save the planet. "By rushing a vote on the #GreenNewDeal resolution, Republicans want to avoid a true national debate & kill our efforts to organize. We're having the first national conversation on climate change in a decade. We can't let Republicans sabotage it."
What are Republicans "rushing" exactly? If Sens. Elizabeth Warren, Kirsten Gillibrand and Cory Booker feel comfortable endorsing it and thus making the plan part of their presidential aspirations, why shouldn't the entire Senate vote on it, as well?
How exactly would a vote "sabotage" or "kill" the Green New Deal, which is nothing but a resolution "recognizing the duty of the Federal Government to create a Green New Deal"? It's a "show vote" on purpose. It's an affirmation of intent. Does Markey not support securing the future of his own prospective bill? Why did he file it? And how exactly could the co-authors of the Green New Deal not be organized? They've been scaremongering Americans about impending catastrophic climate change for the past 30 years, at least.
Moreover, Markey's co-sponsor, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, has already written a broad proposal of policy aims that, in all honesty, would probably be the only way to achieve the goals set forth by Democrats. Has anyone asked Markey whether he believes Ocasio-Cortez's wish list contains worthy goals?
Much of the media coverage of the Green New Deal informs people that climate scientists have warned that terrifying events will befall us soon if we don't act immediately. What they don't tell us is that anyone with even a rudimentary grasp of economic reality understands that a state-run system that coerces Americans to generate 100 percent of their energy through inefficient and expensive renewable sources within 10 years would trigger a cratering of the U.S. economy.
There were "clear goals" on an FAQ page about the Green New Deal written by its author (since pulled by Ocasio-Cortez's office after it was widely mocked), including the elimination of 90 percent of our energy (including nuclear) and the eventual elimination of most cars, air travel and beef. The GND is also a poorly constructed Trojan horse teeming with such socialist favorites as "free" higher education, guaranteed housing and "economic security" for all Americans, even those who are "unable or unwilling" to work, among many other things.
A number of Democratic Party presidential hopefuls endorsed the Green New Deal before the initial proposal was pulled. They fully understood the goals and timeline set by its author. No one forced them to support the idea in this form. But what sounds quixotic to the ears of activists and primary voters may sound like some half-baked self-destructive absurdity to others — which is probably why there's been a concerted media effort to memory-hole Ocasio-Cortez's FAQ page on the proposal.
It is certainly why Markey is nervous about a vote. The junior senator from Massachusetts went on to accuse McConnell of aspiring "to silence (Democrats') voice so Republicans don't have to explain why they are climate change deniers." McConnell's Sith-like evil genius is so extraordinary that he now has the ability to "silence" voices by allowing them to vote "yea" on the very words they wrote and filed in Congress.
Democrats have become maestros of vague generalities, idealistic pronouncements and scary 40-year predictions. Then again, they have a lot of trouble defending the massive intrusions and costs that it would take to implement their vision — especially in a world that's getting better in every quantifiable way. Rarely are they asked to do so by their compliant media allies. Ocasio-Cortez's greatest sin was injecting some reality into the debate. You don't wean America off its affordable and predominant energy sources without reinventing the entire economy through authoritarian intrusions and enormous economic pain. Of course they don't want to vote on the Green New Deal resolution. They would prefer to incrementally and deceitfully enact it.

Monday was the opening day of EAA 2017 and the first time Paramotor Pilots arrived in mass. 40 or so of us, including Jeff Goin (author of The PPG Bible), Tucker Gott (YouTube PPG sensation), The Martins (Hi5PPG) and the rest of the Paradigm Acro crew. As well as two of my former students. What a great night, we gave the spectators quite a show as we easily outnumbered all the other ultralights at the field. Join us next year if you can!

Q: Is it possible to put camel properties in a hazelcast cache? I would like to know if it is possible to push property in the cache hazelcast.
I work with a distributed environment and would like properties to be shared across all environments. Is it possible?
My current configuration for loading properties is as follows:
<bean id="propertiesConfigurer" class="org.apache.camel.spring.spi.BridgePropertyPlaceholderConfigurer">
    <property name="systemPropertiesMode" value="2"/>
    <property name="properties" ref="allProperties" />
</bean>

Thank you

A: You can simply use the distributed data structures of Hazelcast (i.e. IMap) and put any data you want as long as you make them serializable.

A: Yes, you can create a distributed map with entries as <String, Properties>. Each entry will keep a set of properties. Or, you can create a simple distributed map with entries as <String, String> and use this map as a set of properties.
