Q: Grouping a column, and then subtracting rows? I have had a look at other questions but still struggled with this so I thought I would put it up.
I Need to produce a list of all the outstanding orders, and order by part.
So columns I have are Partid, tradequantity, and invoicequantity.
So trader quantity is the quantity that has been ordered, and invoice is quantity that has been delivered.
I kind have got halfway through...but I got a feeling I may need a new table? here is the code so far.
select (traderquantity - invoicedquantity) AS balance, partid, invoicedquantity,traderquantity
from orderitems
where status = 'ACTIVE'
and ordertype = 'PO'
order by partid

Initially tried using Sum on traderquantity and subtract InvoiceQuanity, but when I go to group by PartId it returns an error.
EDIT: just to add I can actually finish this using Excel but I would like to know how to do this in SQL.
Any help would be much appreciated!

A: Try this:
select
    SUM(traderquantity - invoicedquantity) AS balance,
    partid,
    SUM(invoicedquantity) AS TotalInvoicedquantity,
    SUM(traderquantity) AS TotalTraderquantity
from
    orderitems
where
    status = 'ACTIVE'
    and ordertype = 'PO'
GROUP BY
    partid
order by
    partid

Do emotions and ideologies matter for violent political mobilization? Varied angles tackling this issue in PS symposium temporary social science literature on armed mobilization, civil wars, and terrorism neglects the role of emotions and ideologies, developing behavioral models that mostly focus on material factors. Journalists and policy makers tend to assume that emotions, ideologies, and political violence are somehow intertwined, but rigorous scholarly work on this very topic is still underdeveloped. This symposium aims to go beyond structural and material explanations of conflict and mobilization.
The following contributions focus on the agents of violence and provide diverse angles on the relations between emotions, ideologies, and political violence. We argue that including emotions and ideologies in our theoretical frameworks will allow us to unpack the decision-making process that leads individuals from accepting the status quo to mobilizing and opting for political violence. It will also help us understand the behavior of armed actors once individuals have been mobilized.

CATALONIA'S PUBLIC TELEVISION
Leaders in viewership for 12 years running
TV3-Televisió de Catalunya is Catalonia's* generalist public TV broadcaster.
TV3 is committed to offering its viewers socially relevant, quality programming. It has a well-earned reputation of maintaining high moral and ethical standards while supporting and promoting the Catalan culture and language, encouraging innovation and creativity and making full use of multiple resources and all available platforms.
TV3 (Televisió de Catalunya) is part of Corporació Catalana de Mitjans Audiovisuals, the leading communications group in Catalonia. It operates under the aegis of the Catalan Parliament and is financed both through public funding and advertising revenue.

Last year it obtained a share of 14.0%, placing it in the lead during the time slots with the highest viewership, such as prime time and day time. As a result it is the leader of its geographic area, outranking other generalist TV channels which broadcast throughout all of Spain. These results reflect TV3's attention to the tastes, interests and needs of its audience.
QUALITY PRODUCTIONS
Viewers consider TV3 the channel they can most relate to, as well as the channel that produces the highest-quality programming (*1). This includes its fiction programs, which have always drawn wide audiences and consistently offer valuable entertainment thanks to TV3's constantly fresh approach to subjects.

PROGRAMS: SUCCESS BEYOND BORDERS
TV3 has been adding new hits and awards to its roster for years. In fiction, productions like Polseres Vermelles (Red Band Society), Merlí or Nit i Dia (Night and Day) have been big hits in Italy, France, Germany, the US and Latin America. The format of Polseres Vermelles (Red Band Society) has been remade in more than seven different countries and languages, and Merlí is following in its footsteps with remakes in both Italy and France.
Many of our fiction productions and documentaries are already present on all SVOD platforms available in Spain. For a long time now, Amazon Prime and Filmin have offered TV3 productions to subscribers. But now, our products are also available on services like HBO MAX (which recently acquired Moebius) and Netflix, which includes series like Merlí, Benvinguts a la família (Welcome to the Family), Si no t'hagués conegut (If I Hadn't Met You) and Les de l'hoquei (The Hockey Girls).
We've also left our mark in the world of documentaries, receiving countless awards at home and abroad. We offer a broad range of non-fiction productions, and prestigious networks like BBC (United Kingdom), Arte (France and Germany), Yle (Finland) or Svt (Sweden) have chosen some of them. One example is Crims (Crimes), a true-crime production that was already a big hit with viewers in Catalonia before it got excellent results on the Movistar platform.
As for animation, the co-productions we've taken part in are visible in a long list of countries: Canada, Finland, Germany, Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Belgium, Colombia and Argentina.
AWARD-WINNING PRODUCTIONS
In 2021 and the beginning of 2022, fiction films with the participation of TV3 have gone farther than ever, achieving many prizes at home and abroad.
At the 72nd Berlinale, Alcarràs—a TV3 co-production—won the highest award: the Golden Bear. Our animation co-productions have also been well received at film festivals. For example, Josep was named the Best Animated Film at the 2022 César Awards, and the series Jasmine & Jambo won the Gran Prix at the Festival Écran Jeunesse.
Within Spain, the number of accolades received has also continued to grow. The most noteworthy were the 17 awards and 52 nominations received by five productions TV3 took part in at the 36th edition of the Goya awards.
Constant, meticulous work focused on innovation and the creativity of local talent are what have brought us international recognition.
Our commitment is to continue working with the utmost rigour and to face new challenges that inspire original, high-quality productions. This is our guarantee of success.

Maroon 5 Takes Southern Swing on Tour in Coming Days
Maroon 5 front man Adam Levine might have turned 34 last week, but he's not taking too much time off to celebrate as the band will play five shows in seven nights in five different southern cities in late March and early April.
Maroon 5 starts out in Birmingham, AL, on March 26th, and then hits Atlanta, GA, the next night. From there, it's down to the Sunshine State as Maroon 5 visits Sunrise, FL, (near Ft. Lauderdale) on March 29th and Orlando, FL, on March 30th. Finally, they'll play a show in Jacksonville, FL, on April 1st before heading north.
This comes on the heels of Maroon 5 seeing a third single from its most recent album hit the top of the charts. "Overexposed," which dropped last June, has seen three songs hit number one on Billboard's pop music charts. "Daylight," joins "Payphone," and "One More Night," as chart-toppers.
According to Billboard, this makes Maroon 5 the first band to notch three number ones off the same album since Ace of Base in 1993 and 1994. Nobody else has achieved the same feat.
Other recent hits for Maroon 5 include 2011's "Moves Like Jagger," which featured Christina Aguilera and became one of the most played songs on the radio.
In all, Maroon 5 has six number one hits, which pulls the band even with Beyonce Knowles and Mariah Carey. The record is nine, held by Katy Perry and Rihanna.
While Levine is probably best known as the lead singer of Maroon 5, he has also gained a great deal of notoriety as a coach on "The Voice," a singing talent show on NBC. Levine also recently appeared on Saturday Night Live, showing off his comedic skills and removing his shirt as well.
That showed why he's been named one of the sexiest men alive by Glamour Magazine in 2012 and People magazine in 2008.
Don't miss out on your chance to see one of the hottest bands and most notable performers as Maroon 5 rocks Alabama, Georgia and Florida in the coming days. Get your tickets right away!

it's been requested by a certain mini aspiring chef that I make some Strawberry Pudding and clotted cream so I may give that a whirl. She is just completely obsessed with Alton Brown. She credits him with helping her receive an honorable mention in the science fair last year with her demonstration and scientific explanation of why onions make you cry. I have no idea what we're going to come up with to top that this year.


A note to our beloved commenters: Correcting other people on the network when they get stuff wrong isn't "punching right." Accusing guys in this thing of "punching right" for disagreeing amongst ourselves is the edgy right-wing version of accusations of "being a counter-revolutionary." We're not trying to oust from the movement the guys who run the network. That would be retarded. We're addressing flaws in their reasoning, and we at the Godcast expect to hear about it whenever we get stuff wrong. Anyone from TRS is welcome on our podcast any time they like if they're interested in a back-and-forth.
Interesting episode. One suggestion. One of you used Wikipedia to look up I think Baruch Spinoza. You should try to use Infogalactic. It is an alternative run by Christians and nationalists.
Job is one of my favorite books in the old testament. Most of it is darkly humorous until the end when God calls Job out. The end of the book is simply sobering.
Up until God puts Job in his place, I felt bad for the guy because he is trying to explain to his friends that he didn't do anything wrong.
His friends are basically saying "Well, Job, God punishes people when they do wrong and you are definitely suffering, buddy".
Job "No, really, I didn't do anything wrong".
Good episode. Its important to look inward and examine ourselfs especially when alot of this autistic politcal activity happens online among posturing spergs.
Nicely done gentlemen. I always cringe when TDS starts talking about Christianity. It's like me talking about aerospace engineering.
Hello, borthers. I don't usually listen to this podcast, because I'm not religious, but I really respect what you do and wish I could find it in myself to have faith.
That said, I'd love to hear your rebuttals of what the TDS guys said. Can you help a brother out with a timestamp? I usually listen to podcasts while walking to work, so I don't really have the option of clicking around to find the exact spot where the conversation starts.
Hi, Nate. The discussion starts around 34 minutes in and carries us to the end of the episode. Thanks for listening!
I wanted to give you a chance, but you are all Jew shills. "Enoch says…but ACTUALLY…" Puke. Go worship your masters in Israel, shabos goys.
Mike and Alex both repeatedly repeatedly say they don't know what they're talking about when it comes to theology but continue to pop off about it anyway. It's a shame, especially from Mike who's typically willing to get the opinions of people who *do* know what they're talking about (like, say, a seminary student) before going down rabbit holes like that.
Are you in a pool party? We get comments like yours all the time, and every time they're from keyboard warriors with no skin in the game.
It's exactly what my pastor said. The Godcast did good on this question.
I remember hearing the grug brained takes on Job 20 years ago during peak fedora in high school.
You call people stupid a lot. That is rude. I don't like to converse with rude people, so I will pass, both on this conversation and on your podcast.
Not seeing an explanation of how we got it wrong. We'll pray for you to stop being a goober.
As for the actual substance of your comment, I appreciate you taking the time to put this together. We'll give it a thorough explanation.
We'll give it a thorough explanation on the next episode.
Do you mean you'll explain why I'm wrong?
I've always loved this show.
I got a paywall account for GodCast and LoveStreet.
I appreciate all you do. May God bless you and keep you.
Get Enoch on. It would be a great debate.
I hope I'm good enough for heaven because I wanna meet Adolf Hitler.
I would love a good pair of episodes. One with enoch and one with alex. Not together, it would get off track.
Never go outside your expertise, it discredits the whole. They could use guidance on religious issues.
I don't blame the TDS guys for talking about religious stuff. It's interesting to discuss, which I think is what they're after. The issue is that they either don't realize or ignore the fact that there's far more to religious debate than just passing the time and entertaining an audience.
Thanks for having me on, Myles and Super! Nothing but respect for Enoch, McNabb, Sven and everyone else on the network.
Sedevacantism is the only way to go following the disastrous Vatican II jewing of the church.

Kari Karhunen (1915–1992) was een Finse wiskundige op het gebied van de kansrekening en wiskundige statistiek. Hij is bekend van de  stelling van Karhunen-Loève, van de hand van Michel Loève, mede naar hem genoemd omdat hij over het betrokken onderwerp in 1947 publiceerde.

Karhunen promoveerde in 1947 aan de universiteit van Helsinki in Finland. De titel van zijn in het Duits geschreven proefschrift was Über lineare Methoden in der Wahrscheinlichkeitsrechnung. Zijn begeleider was de Finse hoogleraar wiskunde Rolf Nevanlinna.

Karhunen was als lector verbonden aan de universiteit van Helsinki voordat hij de academische wereld verliet voor een aanstelling bij de verzekeringsmaatschappij 'Suomi'.

Karhunen was in 1955 lid van de Finse commissie voor wiskundige machines, die de eerste Finse computer ESKO ontwikkelde.

In this era of school reform, turnaround, and educational change, it is easy to overlook the basics of why we educate and what we want for our children. Usually when we talk about "getting back to the basics," the conversation is student-focused, if not always student-centered. These basics of learning vary from the 3 Rs (reading, 'riting, and 'rithmetic) to STEM to 21st century skills.
School improvement conversations usually focus on quick fixes, those strategies thought to make immediate improvements to student achievement. While this model may work well for some, kids (and their teachers) remain unconvinced because their needs were never really considered to begin with—just their test scores. Even so, schools are encouraged to implement these overly simplistic strategies in spite of the fact they contradict most everything great teachers know to be true and effective.
Teachers know effective teaching connects students to their learning by creating purpose, meaning and enjoyment. They also know effective teaching allows students to feel a sense of accomplishment by using their learning to affect the world around them. At best, quick fix models are short sighted. At worst they are negatively affecting the school experience for large groups of kids who yearn to be motivated, engaged, and have purpose for their learning. In this way, the cycle of disengagement, low test scores, and new quick fixes is perpetuated. To remedy this, we need to replace quick fixes with long-term, sustainable changes aimed at teaching kids in their entirety, not just their data profiles. In short, we need to get back to the real basics of education.
"Back to the basics." It's a phrase that's tossed around much but has varying definitions depending on the speaker and audience. For some, "back to the basics" means focusing on the 3 Rs—reading, 'riting, and 'rithmetic—before (and sometimes instead of) anything else.
We have to get back to basics in education, like ensuring that our children are developing the reading and writing and math skills they need to effectively compete in a very tough and increasingly global job market.
—U.S. Representative Nick J. Rahall (D-WV) in "Getting Back to Basics in Education"

DOT Wants Sleep-Apnea Data
December 17, 2015 • by David Cullen
Photo: Volvo Group
A Department of Transportation data-collection request on the prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) among truck drivers and other transportation workers – as well as the potential impact of any future OSA-related regulatory actions – has been filed with the White House Office of Management and Budget.
Issued jointly by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration and the Federal Railroad Administration as an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, a.k.a. a "pre-rule," the request could be the first step toward federal regulation of the testing and treatment of truck drivers and others for the sleep disorder. Sleep apnea is often viewed as a safety concern because it can cause general fatigue and result in drowsy driving.
The pre-rule (RIN 2126-AB88), titled "Evaluation of Safety Sensitive Personnel for OSA," specifically seeks "data and information concerning the prevalence of moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea among individuals occupying safety sensitive positions in rail and highway transportation."
The agencies are also requesting information about the potential economic impact and safety benefits associated with "regulatory actions that would result in transportation workers in these positions, who exhibit multiple risk factors for OSA, undergoing evaluation by a healthcare professional with expertise in sleep disorders, and subsequent treatment."
The OSA rulemaking process was initiated on Oct. 1, prompted by an administrative decision. The date for publication in the Federal Register is projected to be January 11.
This is not the first time FMCSA has commented on OSA. The agency's own Medical Review Board began issuing recommendations back in 2000 on the screening, diagnosis, treatment and monitoring of truckers afflicted with sleep apnea.
The current pre-rule activity is in line with legislation passed by Congress in 2013 that instructs FMCSA on the regulatory approach it must take regarding OSA.
That law does not require the agency to issue any sleep-apnea policy or regulation. Rather, the bill states that no policy can be issued without the agency first conducting a thorough analysis of the prevalence of OSA among commercial drivers; the range of possible actions to address the problem; and the costs and benefits that may result.
More About Sleep Apnea
According to the National Institutes of Health, sleep apnea is a common disorder, usually chronic, in which a person has one or more pauses in breathing or takes shallow breaths while asleep. The breathing pauses can last from a few seconds to minutes and may occur 30 times or more an hour. Typically, normal breathing then starts again, sometimes with a loud snort or choking sound.
The condition disrupts sleep in such a way that the sufferer will move out of deep and light sleep. That results in poor-quality sleep, which makes for daytime fatigue and excessive daytime sleepiness.
The most common type is OSA, which is distinguished by the airway collapsing or becoming blocked during sleep. "When you try to breathe, any air that squeezes past the blockage can cause loud snoring," states NIH. "Obstructive sleep apnea is more common in people who are overweight, but it can affect anyone."
According to NIH, besides increasing the chance of having a driving or work-related accident, untreated sleep apnea can:
Increase the risk of high blood pressure, stroke, diabetes and obesity
Increase or worsen the risk of heart failure
Make arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats) more likely
The goals of treating sleep apnea are to "restore regular breathing during sleep and to relieve symptoms such as loud snoring and daytime sleepiness."
While sleep apnea is a chronic condition that requires long-term management, NIH points out that lifestyle changes and/or the use of an oral appliance ("mouthpiece") may relieve mild sleep apnea.
Those with moderate or severe sleep apnea may need to use CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) breathing devices or undergo surgery. A CPAP machine gently blows air into the throat through a mask that fits over the mouth and nose or just over nose. That air pressure helps keep the airway open during sleep.
As to surgery, NIH says the type required and how well it works will depend on the cause of the sleep apnea. Surgery to widen breathing passages usually involves shrinking, stiffening, or removing excess tissue in the mouth and throat or resetting the lower jaw.
NIH notes that physicians diagnose sleep apnea based on taking medical and family histories, conducting a physical exam and reviewing sleep-study results. A primary-care physician may evaluate symptoms first and then decide if a patient needs to see a sleep specialist.

Supporting each other through loss and bereavement
The British Psychological Society's Covid-19 bereavement task force has produced a document on helping one another to cope with death and grief, at a time when many people are experiencing the loss of a friend or family member due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
It has also released two videos, offering advice on using technology to speak to loved ones who are ill and planning your digital legacy.
Losing a loved one under any circumstances is one of the most difficult emotional experiences that we go through, and it can be even tougher at a time when we have to self-isolate and socially distance from friends and family.
The leaflet 'Supporting yourself and others: coping with death and grief during the Covid-19 pandemic' explains the thoughts and feelings that people are likely to experience after a loved one dies, and the changes in behaviour that may result.
It discusses how people can cope with bereavement, acknowledging that everyone deals with loss in their own way, and gives tips on what can help, including:
Using digital technology to keep in touch with friends and family
Allowing themselves time and space to grieve
Not rushing into decisions about possessions and personal effects
Trying to stick to a healthy diet and engage in some form of exercise
Straightforward advice is also available for people who are supporting a loved one through their grief.
Measures to contain the spread of Coronavirus mean that many people are unable to say goodbye in person, so the BPS has also produced a video explaining how we can use technology to talk to ill loved ones who we are unable to visit.
It launches alongside a video on digital legacy planning, as many of us store practically important and sentimentally valuable information using technological devices.
If important material is stored on password-protected devices, it's important for people to make sure that their families are able to access material should the worst happen.
Dr Elaine Kasket, a counselling psychologist and member of the bereavement task force, presents both videos.

Over the years, I have grown to love Advent. In the early years of my ministry, I didn't exactly love the season. It was too busy, too demanding, too conflicted. It was hard to find a message of hope while ignoring the whole idea of the Second Coming. I had tangled up my unfortunate experiences of family Christmases with the liturgical season. The heaviness, sadness, and disappointment I felt had nothing to do with Advent with its mystery, beauty, and awe. Although I have made my peace with Advent, the texts this week bring back my early feelings of dread and confusion.
We start with Jeremiah's optimism: "The days are surely coming…" Such hope and promise must have been a comfort to those who first heard them. I'm not sure how they go over in today's more cynical culture. However, these words of promise are an excellent way to ignite Advent Hope. They are a reminder that human ways are not God's ways and God is still at work in the world to bring about a new day, a day of unity and love for all God's people.
The Psalm sounds like a plea of one who has not always trusted God's promises. It is a good one for us. We might not be so trusting that God's righteousness and justice will be manifest in this world. We as individuals and congregations have strayed from God's teachings and probably need to ask God's forgiveness for the sins of our youth, and for God to teach us God's paths. This confession and request for forgiveness and guidance can clear a way through some of the things that might otherwise inhibit our Advent journey. We need not linger over-long in lament, but it is good to recognize that we have not always been the hope-filled people of God we are created and gathered to be.
Once we have confessed we can move on to 1 Thessalonians for the perfect prayer to inspire hope. May we all "abound in steadfast love for one another and for all." Hearts strengthened "in holiness" also sounds good. We are intentionally moving into this Advent season to seek hope and bring it into the world. We cannot do that without God. Paul's words also serve to remind us that this is a communal venture; we cannot travel to Bethlehem on our own. Praying for each other and the community creates a sense of hope all on its own.
So far, so good. Then we get to the Gospel lesson. This is where the conflict comes in. This apocalyptic text feels a bit out of place at the beginning of this Advent journey, at least at first glance. The earth is a mess and nations are confused for sure. But where is redemption supposed to come from? What does it mean to say that Christ is going to return? The answer might be in the next few verses.
The seasons will come as they ought; trees will blossom in the spring. When these things happen, we will know that the Realm of God is at hand. In other words, the Realm of God is always at hand. Human beings, left to our own devises, follow the ways of chaos, confusion, and, often, destruction. When we pay attention, we see the nearness of God's Realm and the possibilities of redemption. In these moments of attending to God and holy ways, we see that it really is possible for Christ to come again. If we accept the Mystery and search out the ways in which God is moving in the world, Hope becomes possible. We are not left to our own devices but called to bring the Realm of God into the here and now. This is, indeed, Good News. News much needed in today's tumult and confusion. May we all be agents of Hope and builders of the Kingdom.
Where are you heading this Advent? Please join the conversation so we may share the journey.
Preaching on the Jeremiah passage, but having a difficult time getting it started. Hoping sleep will help arrange these thoughts into something sensible. Is it too much to hope that the sermon then writes itself effortlessly tomorrow?
Julie, I hope the sermon writing goes better for you today.
Thanks, Rachael …. still wrestling, but getting closer.
DONE! Thank God and Rev. Ann Pitman, colleague and friend, for faithful companionship!

Audiobook Summary:In the more than 15 years since its publication, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People has become an international phenomenon. Tens of millions of people in business, government, schools, and families have dramatically improved their lives and organizations by applying the principles of Stephen R. Covey's classic book. The world, though, is a vastly changed place. The challenges we all face in our relationships, families, professional lives, and communities are of an entirely new order of magnitude. Being effective as individuals and organizations is no longer merely an option. But in order to thrive, innovate, excel, and lead in what Covey calls the new Knowledge Worker Age, we must build on and move beyond effectiveness. The call of this new era in human history is for greatness ; it's for fulfillment , passionate execution , and significant contribution . Accessing the higher levels of human genius and motivation in today's new reality requires a sea change in thinking. The crucial challenge of our world today is this: to find our voice and inspire others to find theirs . It is what Covey calls the 8th Habit. So many people feel frustrated, discouraged, unappreciated, and undervalued, with little or no sense of voice of unique contribution. The 8th Habit is the answer to the soul's yearning for greatness, the organization's imperative for significance and superior results, and humanity's search for its "voice". Profound, compelling, and stunningly timely, this groundbreaking new audiobook of next level thinking gives a clear way to finally tap the limitless value-creation promise of the Knowledge Worker Age. Covey's new audiobook will transform the way we think about ourselves and our purpose in life, about our organizations, and about humankind. Just as The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People helped us focus on effectiveness, The 8th Habit shows us the way to greatness.

Q: script src not working for chart.js after I separated the chart to another directory in flask app This is my home.html where I want to see my chart and have the script tag. I have installed the cdn in base.html in head and just using extends in home.html

{% extends 'base.html' %}

{% block head %}
<title>Home</title>

{% endblock %}

{% block body %}

Home Page

<canvas id="myChart" width="600" height="400"></canvas>

{% endblock %}

This is the js of the chart which has values coming in from my route.

// Global parameters:
// do not resize the chart canvas when its container does (keep at 600x400px)
Chart.defaults.global.responsive = false;

// define the chart data
var chartData = {
  labels : [{% for item in labels %}
             "{{item}}",
            {% endfor %}],
  datasets : [{
      label: '{{ legend }}',
      fill: true,
      lineTension: 0.1,
      backgroundColor: "rgba(75,192,192,0.4)",
      borderColor: "rgba(75,192,192,1)",
      borderCapStyle: 'butt',
      borderDash: [],
      borderDashOffset: 0.0,
      borderJoinStyle: 'miter',
      pointBorderColor: "rgba(75,192,192,1)",
      pointBackgroundColor: "#fff",
      pointBorderWidth: 1,
      pointHoverRadius: 5,
      pointHoverBackgroundColor: "rgba(75,192,192,1)",
      pointHoverBorderColor: "rgba(220,220,220,1)",
      pointHoverBorderWidth: 2,
      pointRadius: 1,
      pointHitRadius: 10,
      data : [{% for item in values %}
                {{item}},
              {% endfor %}],
      spanGaps: false
  }]
}

// get chart canvas
var ctx = document.getElementById("myChart").getContext("2d");

// create the chart using the chart canvas
var myChart = new Chart(ctx, {
  type: 'line',
  data: chartData,
});

It works perfectly fine when I donot make the file separate, that is if my script does not have src but all the code of profit_ot.js in home.html itself.

CRITICAL UPDATE ON 80% LOWERS IN NEW YORK
December 28, 2021 | Peter Howard Tilem
In October we wrote an extensive blog about the legality of 80% Lowers in NY and indicated at that time that the law in New York could be changing on eighty percent lowers because legislation was pending in Albany. Well later the same day that we here at Tilem & Associates posted that blog, Governor Kathy Hochul signed a package of new legislation which changed the legality of 80 percent lowers in New York.
Among the changes are the fact that that it will be illegal to possess an unfinished receiver or an unfinished frame often referred to as an eighty percent lower. It becomes illegal to possess these unfinished frames or receivers from six months after the date the law becomes effective. Unfinished frames and unfinished receivers are defined very broadly under the law and include any material that doesn't constitute a receiver or frame but which has been formed and/or shaped to allow it to become a frame or receiver for a shotgun, rifle or pistol and which can be "readily" made into a receiver or frame that is functioning. What readily made means is not defined so it is unknown if a receiver that is 70% finished, 60% finished or only 20% finished would be legal.
The new law makes it a crime to possess unfinished receivers or frames and makes it a separate crime to sell unfinished receivers or frames. This would seemingly make it illegal for internet sellers of firearms parts to sell polymer 80 or other 80% lowers and ship them into New York State.
In addition, the new law appears to create a new crime for possession of a "major component" of a rifle, shotgun or firearm. The new law makes it a crime for a prohibited person to possess a "major component" of any type of gun. This would be a person prohibited under New York or Federal law including those who have been convicted of serious offenses, who have had an Extreme Risk Protection Order issued against them or are prohibited or are prohibited under the Safe Act. Major components include a barrel, slide, cylinder, receiver or frame for a firearm, rifle or shotgun. So under the new law it is illegal for a prohibited person to possess even a non-functioning, inert piece of a gun.
The new legislation, goes further in New York's quest to punish and throw up road blocks for law abiding gun owners and hobbyists who enjoy hunting, firearms and the shooting sports. It is very unclear how the new laws will do anything to lessen the scourge of violent crimes that are plaguing the streets of our cities. Any hope that Governor Hochul who incidentally was endorsed by the NRA when she ran for Congress years ago would redirect the energies of the State from the anti gun policies of her predecessor Governor Cuomo are certainly shattered.
New York gun owners who have unfinished and unserialized receivers and frames should take the next few months to surrender them, serialize them or sell them out of state. In addition retailers who regularly ship gun parts and 80 percent receivers into New York should take the next several months to put procedures in place to ensure that they do not ship those items to New York State addresses.

Hardley Flood, Norfolk, England
161322's journey from 11 June 2016 to 06 August 2016
161322's position on
161322's movements
24 Aug 2016 - 161322 lost
We haven't heard from 161322 since the 6 August when he was in the middle of his desert crossing. The last locations received showed him in southern Western Sahara, 24km (15 miles) northwest of the desert town of Aousserd and we have to assume that he has perished.
11 Aug 2016 - Cuckoo 161322 not hanging around
After spending two days on the edge of the Sierra Nevada mountains, 161322 headed south across the Alboran Sea and into Morocco. After a brief stop in the High Atlas he continued south and west and is currently in Western Sahara, following in the footsteps of Cuckoo 161323 who successfully crossed the desert via this route a week ago.
02 Aug 2016 - 161322 on the move again
Data received from 161322's tag at 4 am this morning showed that he had flown 200 miles south and was on the eastern edge of the Sierra Nevada mountains in southern Spain.
20 Jul 2016 - Cuckoo 161322's incredible journey
During the late evening on 13 July, locations received from Cuckoo 161322 showed that he had left Italy and was heading out across the Mediterranean. As the night and early morning of the next day unfolded it became clear that he had embarked on an incredible journey. At 10.30pm he was 15km (9 miles) from the French coast close to the Illes de Hyeres and heading south.
The next location we received was at 7.30am on the morning of the 15 July. At this time he was over the sea, 45km (28 miles) north of Algiers and the North African coast. An hour later he was 65km (40 miles) to the west and flying parallel to the coast, albeit 30 miles out. At 8.40am he had turned north and was heading back out into the Mediterranean sea, only to turn west again and head in the direction of mainland Spain. By 10.30am he was midway between Algiers on the North African coast and Guardamar del Segura, near Murcia on the Spanish coast. He maintained this course and by noon was 54km (33 miles) from the Spanish coast.
He made landfall at 3.30pm just north of Guardamar del Segura but this isn't the end of this incredible journey. On the 18 June he had headed north and was just west of Madrid at a stopover site that several of our tagged Cuckoos have used in the past. It seems that this was where he intended to fly to when he left the French coast, but had possibly drifted off course. As soon as he could he corrected this and eventually made it there three days later, presumably much lighter than when he set off.
08 Jul 2016 - Cuckoo 161322 in Italy
On the 28 June we received locations from Cuckoo 161322 that showed he had left Norfolk and was in France close to Troyes. The next day he had moved further south, crossed the border into Switzerland and was on the northern shore of Lake Neuchatel. He didn't stay here long and by the morning of 30 June he was back in France on the southern shore of Lake Geneva, before moving back into Switzerland and finally stopping in the late evening of the same day on the mountain slopes just north of Martigny. He remained here for six days before heading south into Italy. He is currently close to the French border just north of Montoso.

Family caregivers may be at an increased risk for stress, anxiety, and depression. Coupled with a full-time job, maintaining a home, and taking care of children, you may develop stress and anxiety disorders, preventing you from optimally performing your caregiving duties. Here are some stress-prevention strategies that may help you feel more energized, hopeful, and enthusiastic about taking care of your senior loved one.
Stress can lead to poor nutrition and subsequent deficiencies. Try to eat nutrient-dense foods so you can get the recommended daily allowances for vitamins and minerals. If you don't eat a healthy diet, consider taking over-the-counter supplements to ensure adequate intake of vitamins B, C, and D, iron, magnesium, and potassium. Deficiencies in these nutrients may raise the risk for stress and depression.
If you're the primary family caregiver for a senior loved one living in Altamonte Springs, live-in care is available if your loved one's health has become too difficult to manage without professional expertise. At Home Care Assistance, we take measures to help seniors prevent illness and injury by assisting with exercise and mobility, preparing nutritious meals, helping with bathing and other personal hygiene tasks, and much more.
Walking is a great stress buster, and it may even enhance the release of feel-good chemicals in the brain known as endorphins. Take a solitary nature walk, or invite your loved one so both of you can enjoy a healthy, stress-relieving activity. It's thought that just looking at trees, plants, flowers, and animals can reduce levels of stress and prevent anxiety. In addition to reducing stress levels, nature walks may also lower blood pressure, manage weight, strengthen muscles, and boost cardiovascular health.
Ask other members of your family for help. They can run errands, cook a meal or two, do a load of laundry, or go grocery shopping for you, which may eliminate some stress. To further reduce stress, ask someone in your family to keep your loved one company for a few hours so you can have some time off to enjoy a hobby or visit with friends.
Family caregivers sometimes need a break from their caregiving responsibilities. When they need respite care, Windermere families can rely on professional caregivers to help their senior loved ones remain safe at home.
Your home environment can have a powerful impact on your mood. Consider getting a houseplant, bouquet of flowers, cheerful centerpiece for the dining room table, or a scented candle. These items may boost your mood and relieve stress. Other ways you can enhance the environment are buying a couple of brightly colored pillows for the sofa, cleaning the house, clearing out the garage or attic, and getting rid of excess clutter. People who are surrounded by clutter may feel stressed, anxious, depressed, or uneasy. As clutter is cleared away, stress levels may decrease.
Caring for a senior loved one can be challenging for families who don't have expertise or professional training in home care, but this challenge doesn't have to be faced alone. Family caregivers can turn to Orlando Home Care Assistance for the help they need. We provide high-quality live-in and respite care as well as comprehensive Alzheimer's, dementia, stroke, and Parkinson's care. Call us at (407) 604-0506 to schedule a free in-home consultation.

Q: What should I install for react and babel? Trying to install react with Babel. What is the difference between all of these installs? Which ones should I choose?
npm install --save-dev babel-preset-react
npm install --save-dev babel-preset-es2015
npm install --save-dev babel-cli
npm install --save-dev babel-core
npm install --save-dev babel-preset-env

EDIT:
I'm working from this tutorial:
https://facebook.github.io/react/docs/installation.html
which says to install babel-preset-react and babel-preset-es2015, but when I go to https://babeljs.io/docs/setup/, or any other site, everyone has a different idea of what to install.

A: I'm guessing, but most likely you're working from a React tutorial and wondering what you're installing. You can look up each of these modules on npmjs.com, the web frontend for npm repository.
Babel is ECMAScript2015 (aka: ES6) pre-processor that converts ES6-style javascript to ES5-style so that it can be run in browsers that don't support all the ES6 features yet. Features such as module importing, arrow functions, generators, etc. It is most likely part of a webpack build which, among other things, will expand your react jsx templates inside your components as well as "babelify" your source.
React generally encourages modular design using ES6 so it's necessary to follow their patterns and still have the code run reliably in browsers.

For students, a key to careers in biomedical and biotech fields
By Public Affairs, UC Berkeley| February 25, 2016 February 29, 2016

Shilpi Mathrani wanted a career in the biomedical field. To a student, though, the industry can seem like an exclusive club.
For Mathrani, UC Berkeley's Bio-Manufacturing to Market program held the key.

The internship program, now in its fourth year, gives students a rare opportunity to learn how the biomedical industry — which includes biotech, pharmaceuticals, medical devices and medical equipment — works on a day-to-day basis.
The pilot program connects science and engineering undergrads from the campus and local community colleges with biomedical and biotech startups in the East Bay. Interns can opt to spend a semester or a year (or sometimes longer, in special cases) working as a paid intern at a biomedical or biotech startup, where they work on everything from conception and prototyping to scaling up and marketing a product.
Mathrani, now a Berkeley alum with a master's degree in engineering, worked for Mango Materials — an Albany-based company that produces biodegradable plastics from waste methane gas — for more than two years as part of the program.
She says working for the small startup gave her the opportunity to learn all aspects of how a biotech business is run. "The program helped me experience the research side of things and the entrepreneurship side of things," she says. "I always had a new problem to tackle."
Other student projects have ranged from chip fabrication for the single cell Western blotting system to the manufacture of micro-fluidic devices for early stage cancer detection to analyzing the market potential for biogas technology across the U.S.
And while students are getting hands-on experience in their field, the startups have top-notch students helping them build their companies in a competitive market.
Mathrani (second from left) says Mango Materials offered a collaborative, team-oriented work environment.
When Mathrani joined Mango Materials in 2012, the company had four full-time employees. Now it has a staff of 20. Anne Schauer-Gimenez, vice president of methane marketing, says Mathrani and other interns have contributed to the success of the startup.
"As the students grew as researchers, they were able to contribute to the planning and execution of our work," says Schauer-Gimenez. "It was fantastic to have brilliant, hard-working students join our team."
Mathrani now works at a consulting firm in the Bay Area that provides professional advice to pharmaceutical and healthcare companies. She says the experience she gained through the internship greatly contributed to her successful career after Berkeley.
The Bio-Manufacturing to Market pilot project is supported through the Advanced Manufacturing Jobs and Innovation Challenge with funding from the U.S. Department of Energy, and is run out of the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research at UC Berkeley. The program is part of the Biomedical Manufacturing Network, co-founded by UC Berkeley, which works to support biomedical entrepreneurship, manufacturing and commercialization.

The role of Yugoslav socialist art in emerging global modernisms.
In less than half a century, the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia successfully defeated Fascist occupation, fended off dominating pressures from the Eastern and Western blocs, built a modern society on the ashes of war, created its own form of socialism, and led the formation of the Nonaligned Movement. This country's principles and its continued battles, fought against all odds, provided the basis for dynamic and exceptional forms of art.
Drawing on archival materials, postcolonial theory, and Eastern European socialist studies, Nonaligned Modernism chronicles the emergence of late modernist artistic practices in Yugoslavia from the end of the Second World War to the mid-1980s. Situating Yugoslav modernism within postcolonial artistic movements of the twentieth century, Bojana Videkanic explores how cultural workers collaborated with others from the Global South to create alternative artistic and cultural networks that countered Western hegemony. Videkanic focuses primarily on art exhibitions along with examples of international cultural exchange to demonstrate that nonaligned art wove together politics and aesthetics, and indigenous, Western, and global influences.
An interdisciplinary book, Nonaligned Modernism highlights Yugoslavia's key role in the creation of a global modernist ethos and international postcolonial culture.
Bojana Videkanic is assistant professor of visual culture at the University of Waterloo.

We Watched Gorgeous and Gripping First Episode of 'The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance', and Our Jaws Are Still on the Floor [Comic-Con 2019]
Posted on Friday, July 19th, 2019 by Hoai-Tran Bui
Netflix isn't immune to Hollywood's obsession with digging back into the past for a dose of nostalgia in their entertainment line-up. This time they're reaching into cult territory with a revival of The Dark Crystal, the fantasy adventure film from Jim Henson that fascinated audiences in 1982 and continues to be a retro favorite for many cinephiles. But instead of your average feature film sequel, Netflix is unleashing The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance, a prequel series with an all-star cast and state-of-the-art puppetry.
Executive producer Lisa Henson was joined by director Louis Leterrier and stars Taron Egerton and Mark Hamill to talk about how the unlikely prequel series came to be at The Dark Crystal Age of Resistance Comic-Con panel, and they showed attendees the first episode of the Netflix series. See our reaction to the first episode of The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance below.
The Dark Crystal First Episode Reaction
One of the remarkable things about Jim Henson's 1982 original film is that it thrusts you into the rich, sprawling world of Thra with barely more explanation than a quick beginning narration. So similar to the high fantasy worlds we've seen before and yet so alien in its use of inhuman protagonists portrayed only by puppets, The Dark Crystal was unapologetically dense to the point of being confusing. Not so with Netflix's The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance. Just as dark, gnarled, and bizarre as Henson's ambitious original, Age of Resistance also offers a much easier entry point for new fans, while delivering one of the most jaw-droppingly gorgeous and bewitching pieces of fantasy storytelling in recent memory.
I'll admit that I was ambivalent to the original film, which I saw recently and thus have no nostalgic affection for (though I admired its audacity). But I was completely entranced by The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance. The opening of the first episode is admittedly clunky — perhaps paying homage to the original film's solemn "high fantasy" narration — kicking things off with an introduction to the lavish world of Thra through striking animation that whisks you through distinct areas of the world like pieces on a tabletop game board. We're introduced to the Aughra, a character from the original film who is the embodiment of the planet Thra and the protector of its heart, the Crystal of Truth, until she is tricked into giving the Crystal to the villainous Skeksis. The Skeksis raise themselves as the revered lords of the Crystal, using it secretly to prolong their lives. But their nefarious activities go unnoticed by the three different clans of Gelflings, the peace-loving, slender humanoids that act as our protagonists in the franchise. The first clan is a warrior race that exists to serve the Skeksis, the second are a fair and wise clan, and the third are a subterranean people in touch with the mystic nature of the world.
Lost yet? I nearly was by those first five minutes of introduction — but then I was quickly swept up by the majesty of the series' dedication to practical effects and puppetry, and its thoroughly transporting story about three Gelflings who begin to suspect something is amiss.
We first meet the mischievous Rian (Egerton), a guard of the Skeksis' Crystal Castle who happens upon his masters' plan to harness the Essence of the Gelflings in order to achieve the immortality that the Crystal once granted them. Thousands of years of the Skeksis using the Crystal to prolong their lives has drained it of its power and is beginning to poison the rest of Thra through a plague called "The Darkening," which turns animals rabid and soil toxic. Faced with a diminishing power source, the Skeksis Emperor (Jason Isaacs) tasks the Scientist (Hamill) with finding an alternate method to retain their immortality, which leads them to capturing a Gelfling, Mira (Alicia Vikander), a palace guard and Rian's girlfriend, who is killed during the experiment. Horrified at witnessing her death, Rian flees when he is spotted by the Skeksis.
The second Gelfling protagonist is Brea (Anya Taylor-Joy), a naive and dreamy Gelfling princess with her head buried in books, and she worships the Skeksis. Her unbridled curiosity gets the better of her when she runs headfirst into the carriage of a visiting Skeksis lord, who invites her into his graces to her delight. But when she witnesses the Skeksis' alarmingly ruthless treatment of a Gelfling subject, she experiences a strange vision and begins to investigate their history in Thra.
The last in the trio is Deet (Nathalie Emmanuel), a sweet, subterranean Gelfling who is attacked by the very animals she cares for because of a strange poisoning in the moss they eat. While fleeing the animals, she stumbles into a Sanctuary Tree, which reveals to her the nature of The Darkening and grants her a vision of the future before sending her on a quest to stop the downfall of Thra.
The first episode is very much the series establishing its footing, but it's astonishing how assured that footing is right off the bat. Despite juggling multiple storylines and introducing a vast ensemble of characters, Age of Resistance is remarkably easy to get swept up in. Despite the complicated mythology typical of the high fantasy genre, it completely works in the moment. The episode carries Studio Ghibli-esque themes of spirituality and nature being corrupted by the invading force of modernity — something that can be seen in the intricate production design. The gnarly, eldritch designs of the Skeksis' castles and carriages stand in stark contrast to the organic styles of the Gelfling's buildings. Age of Resistance is deeply beautiful, full of rich, warm colors and stunning environments that are interwoven seamlessly with the practical puppetry. Yet, there are moments when the series gets downright weird, dedicating many minutes and plenty of fake slime to showing a Skeksis character blowing out miles of snot. It's strange and frankly a miracle that Age of Resistance exists. But the fact that it does is, in a word, magical.
The rest of the voice cast includes Gelfling characters voiced by Caitriona Balfe, Helena Bonham Carter, Harris Dickinson, Natalie Dormer, Eddie Izzard, Theo James, Toby Jones, Shazad Latif, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, and Mark Strong.
Meanwhile, the rest of the villainous Skeksis will be played by Harvey Fierstein, Ralph Ineson, Keegan-Michael Key, Ólafur Darri Ólafsson, Simon Pegg, and Andy Samberg.
Netflix also recently announced Lena Headey as Maudra Fara, Benedict Wong as The General, Awkwafina as The Collector, Sigourney Weaver as The Myth-Speaker, Hannah John-Kamen (Ant-Man and the Wasp) as Naia, and Dave Goelz as Baffi, a Fizzgig. The series was co-created by writers, Jeffrey Addiss and Will Matthews, with TV veteran Javier Grillo-Marxuach also serving as a writer.
Based on The Dark Crystal, Jim Henson's groundbreaking 1982 feature film, The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance tells a new epic story, set many years before the events of the movie, and realized using classic puppetry with cutting edge visual effects. The world of Thra is dying. The Crystal of Truth is at the heart of Thra, a source of untold power. But it is damaged, corrupted by the evil Skeksis, and a sickness spreads across the land. When three Gelfling uncover the horrific truth behind the power of the Skeksis, an adventure unfolds as the fires of rebellion are lit and an epic battle for the planet begins.
The Dark Crystal: The Age of Resistance will hit Netflix on August 30, 2019.

Three Burkina Faso Terrorist Attacks
Nearly 400 people have been killed since 2015
Burkina Faso, a landlocked nation in West Africa, is one of the poorest countries in the world. It shares a northern border with Mali, which has long battled armed groups.
Burkina Faso has suffered from increasingly frequent and deadly attacks attributed to a number of armed groups - including the Ansarul Islam group, the Group to Support Islam and Muslims (GSIM), and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL or ISIS) in the Greater Sahara.
A January 2016, three attackers at another cafe left 30 people dead. The three attackers in the 2016 massacre were of foreign origin, according to al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, which claimed responsibility in the aftermath along with the armed group known as Al Mourabitoun. But the terror threat in Burkina Faso is increasingly homegrown, experts say.
The northern border region is now the home of a local preacher, Ibrahim Malam Dicko, who radicalized and has claimed recent deadly attacks against troops and civilians. His association, Ansarul Islam, is now considered a terrorist group by Burkina Faso's government.
In August 2017 an assault on the terrace of the Turkish Aziz Istanbul restaurant in the center of the West Africa Burkina Faso the capital city of Ouagadougou two young males on a motorcycle, armed with AK-47 assault rifles.
