Crafty shopping in London and Cambridge?
I'll be visiting London in November and I am wondering where to go to find crafty things - supplies and handmade stuff for sale. I will definitely go to Camden Lock and Chalk Farm area but anywhere else? I will stop by Blade Rubber Stamps and would love also to find a HobbyCraft that is close to London. And where do you buy fabric - just everyday cotton and calico?
Re: Crafty shopping in London and Cambridge?
Where abouts in Cambridge will you be? And what kind of crafts do you do?


Are you looking to purchase a residential golf simulator or a commercial golf simulator? The same simulators that we use at golftec are also available for purchase new to be installed in your home or office environment. We also have some second hand golf simulators for sale from time to time as well, so feel free to make an inquiry on those as well.
Our golf simulators can operate under a 1 or 2 camera setup. The 1 camera setup is mounted above. If you have a 2 camera setup then 1 camera is placed at ground level to better measure launch angle and the other camera is placed above. A 2 camera system is slightly more accurate than a 1 camera system, however, we have found very little variation in our testing. Occasionally the launch angle is missed with the 1 camera setup, but you can always replay the shot. Irrespective of whether or not you use a 1 or 2 camera setup, all of the key characteristics of the golf swing are either captured directly or estimated via an algorithm. The high speed cameras capture 25 to 35 individual ball positions before the ball leaves the camera range and hits the screen. Both 1 and 2 camera systems capture vertical launch angle, the ball speed and the ball spin rate which are the key inputs to the algorithm that predicts and shows ball flight. Unlike many other simulators on the market ours accurately capture hooks and slices including pulled slices and pushed draws.
Simulators start at $15,900 for the simulator unit (including 1 camera, software, PC and projector). This setup assumes you have built your own enclosure and just require the simulator unit and it's core components. We can also arrange Flexirent this option from $88.89 per week.
For a complete system, including enclosure, units start at $24,900. This is for a complete system including installation within Australia. The system can be flexirent at 137 per week. Note: Flexirent prices are indicative and subject to change. We will provide a more accurate quote upon inquiry.
Our simulators have a plethora of golf simulator courses you can choose between. The standard package comes with 40 courses and then you can choose add-ons of 10 courses as well. Most of the well known courses, such as Pebble Beach, St Andrews etc.

Fraser Thomas were engaged by Housing New Zealand, via Greenstone Group, to assist with the desk top analysis of their Auckland properties, of which there are approximately 2,500.
The aim was to identify properties which were not subdividable, but could be further developed by adding a minor household unit for a one or two bedroom extension. We were initially engaged to report on 250 properties in the South Auckland area, with this to be extended for an additional 250 sites on completion of the first batch.
We were provided with three floor plans for the new minor household units and three floor plans for possible new extensions. To keep construction costs down these were the floor plans we had to work around. Once the minor household unit or extension had been positioned onsite, we then needed to ensure the required living courts, parking/manoeuvring and services could be accommodated. This work needed to be done without visiting the sites, as most sites were tenanted.
On completion of our recommendation, Greenstone Group undertook a preliminary costing and decided with Housing New Zealand which sites should progress. At this point, a project manager visited the site to confirm no additional unforseen site constraints would affect the proposed development. Housing New Zealand are currently going through the tendering phase for the construction of these units.

Buttigieg campaign accused of improperly using names of black leaders in support letter amid struggles to attract African American voters
Nicole Einbinder,Nicole EinbinderNov 18, 2019, 03:10 IST
Associated Press/Elise Amendola
Democratic presidential candidate South Bend, Ind. Mayor Pete Buttigieg delivers a Veterans Day address at a campaign event Monday, Nov. 11, 2019, in Rochester, N.H.
Pete Buttigieg's presidential campaign falsely said that three prominent black figures in South Carolina supported his Douglass Plan for Black America, according to a report from The Intercept.
In late October, Buttigieg's campaign released an article published in the HBCU Times praising the plan, citing an open letter on behalf of Columbia City Councilwoman Tameika Devine, Rehoboth Baptist pastor and state Rep. Ivory Thigpen, and Johnnie Cordero, chair of the state party's Black Caucus, in addition to more than 400 Douglass Plan endorsers.
But, The Intercept found, none of those three people actually supported Buttigieg as a candidate, and two of the three never endorsed his Douglass Plan.
Additionally, at least 42 percent of the more than 400 supporters on the list are white.
Pete Buttigieg's presidential campaign is facing criticism after some of the 400 black South Carolinans who it said supported his Douglass Plan for Black America came out to dispute the way their names were published, The Intercept reported on Friday.
Throughout his campaign, and despite soaring to first place in a recent Iowa poll, Buttigieg has struggled to appeal to black voters. An October poll in The Charleston Post and Courier found that the South Bend, Indiana mayor had next to no black voter support in South Carolina, and only four percent support in the state overall.
In late October, amid efforts to win support among the black community, his campaign released an article published in the HBCU Times praising his Douglass Plan, citing an open letter on behalf of Columbia City Councilwoman Tameika Devine, Rehoboth Baptist pastor and state Rep. Ivory Thigpen, and Johnnie Cordero, chair of the state party's Black Caucus, in addition to more than 400 Douglass Plan endorsers.
"There is one presidential candidate who has proven to have intentional policies designed to make a difference in the Black experience, and that's Pete Buttigieg. We are over 400 South Carolinians, including business owners, pastors, community leaders, and students. Together, we endorse his Douglass Plan for Black America, the most comprehensive roadmap for tackling systemic racism offered by a 2020 presidential candidate," the HBCU Times article notes.
But, according to The Intercept, there's a problem: none of those three prominent black politicians say they support Buttigieg as a candidate, and two of the three say they never explicitly allowed for a named endorsement of his Douglass plan.
Devine, who has yet to endorse a presidential candidate, told The Intercept that she believes the campaign was "intentionally vague" about the way her support for the plan was presented, adding that she did not intend for it to be viewed as an endorsement for Buttigieg. Meanwhile, both Thigpen and Cordero (who is no longer listed publicly as a supporter in the HBCU Times article) said they never even endorsed the plan to begin with.
"I didn't know about its rolling out. Somebody brought it to my attention, and it was alarming to me, because even though I had had conversations with the campaign, it was clear to me, or at least I thought I made it clear to them, that I was a strong Bernie Sanders supporter - actually co-chair of the state, and I was not seeking to endorse their candidate or the plan. But what I had talked about was potentially giving them a quote of support in continuing the conversation, because I do think it's a very important conversation," Thigpen told The Intercept.
"I never endorsed that plan. I don't know how my name got on there. No, that's not true: I know how my name got on there," Cordero said, telling The Intercept that Buttigieg's staff reached out and asked for his feedback on the plan.
"It's presumptuous to think you can come up with a plan for black America without hearing from black folk. There's nothing in there that said black folk had anything to do with the drafting of that plan," he added. "Now I like Pete, please don't get me wrong. I'll help him in any way I can. I think he's an honest man, I think he's a decent man, I think he has integrity. I'd like to see him keep running. But you don't do that. Those days are over and done with. We're tired of people telling us what we need. You wanna find out what we need? Come and ask us."
The Intercept discovered another surprising feature of the more than 400 supporters of the plan: at least 42 percent of them are white.
The Buttigieg campaign told The Intercept that it had sent the plan to the list of supporters and gave them the option of opting out if they didn't want to be included. According to that email, the list was specifically supposed to represent "over 400 Black South Carolinians for the plan."
"Pete believes we need to dismantle systemic racism in order to deliver justice for Black Americans and make our country whole," a Buttigieg spokesperson told the Intercept. "Which is why, as we said the time of its release, we're proud the Douglass plan has earned the support of many South Carolinians, including many African-Americans. Pete will continue to talk about the Douglass Plan wherever he goes, regardless of the audience, as there are many communities of Americans committed to eradicating racial inequity."
On Friday, The Intercept's Ryan Grim noted an additional issue with how the Buttigieg campaign has promoted the plan:

Accu-Sort and Intelletto have each announced products designed to automatically ensure that tag data correctly corresponds to the bar code printed on the label applied to a case and pallet.
Nov 09, 2004—While many companies plan to write data to RFID labels as they are needed, many others plan to use pre-encoded tags, where the unique tag ID is associated with a specific SKU well before the label is attached to a case or pallet. That second option requires an automated way to ensure that the RFID tag data matches the bar code printed on the label being applied to those cases and pallets. Recently, two RFID equipment vendors—Accu-Sort Systems and Intelletto Technologies—have launched products to help solve that problem.
Consisting of RFID readers and software, Accu-Sort's new ASI Data Matching system works with a company's existing conveyor system that uses bar code scanners to sort items for inbound or outbound shipments. The ASI Data Matching system not only ensures that RFID and bar code data are matched correctly, it also brings RFID capabilities to a sortation system's bar code applications and equipment. According to Accu-Sort, adding RFID to an existing sortation system managing the flow of cases can also improve the sortation system's read rate-its ability to identify correctly each case or item.
"If the bar code system is delivering 98 percent read rates, adding RFID as well will deliver the 2 percent that is missing," says Troy Herman, ASI RFID solutions specialist at Accu-Sort, which is based in Telford, Pa.
According to the company its new system has been tested up to 540 feet per minute with a 6-inch space between cases. Accu-Sort piloted its ASI Data Matching offering at an unnamed customer distribution center for five weeks this summer and is now offering the system to its existing customers looking to adopt RFID tagging capabilities.
At present, the system comprises a Symbol reader connected to Accu-Sort's own RFID antennas, which can be placed to surround any conveyor without the need to dismantle the conveyor. "We have designed an antenna so slim that it can sit between the floor of the conveyor and the conveyor belt. That means there is no need to remove the metal base of the conveyor to enable reads from the underside," says Herman.
When the ASI Data Matching system finds a case that has conflicting RFID and bar code data, the software can be configured to take any number of actions, such as redirecting the case for additional scanning, manual checking or adding an additional label.
Pricing for the ASI Data Matching system, which Accu-Sort can install and integrate with a customer's existing conveyor system, varies according to the scale and other deployment details.
Meanwhile, RFID appliance designer Intelletto Technologies says it is working on a UHF version of the RFID MultiPort Companion, an RFID reader that also provides bar code and RFID matching capabilities to automated sortation conveyor systems.
Released by Intelletto in September and featuring a 13.56 MHz RFID reader, the current version is 4-inch by 6-inch by 2-inch unit attaches to a PC and a bar code reader through a RS232 (serial port) connection and can operate at nearly 2 bar code/RFID reads per second. The RFID Multiport Companion can be used in any of four modes. The first mode reads RFID tags and translates the data into a bar code data format so that it can be used by an application that has been designed to accept data from bar code scanners; the second mode scans a bar code and then writes the data to an RFID tag; the third can check that bar code and RFID data on a single item match; and the fourth can encode an RFID tag with a time stamp and location data that can be used to track assets.
The current RFID MultiPort Companion model can read and write to 13.56 MHz tags based on ISO-15693, I-CODE1, Tag-it standards, but the new version, set for release within a few months, will not only operate in the UHF spectrum but will also be capable of faster reads and therefore be suitable for conveyor systems, according to Hassanali Namazi, president and CEO of Intelletto, which is based in Markham, Ontario.
Pricing for the current version the RFID MultiPort Companion starts at $999.

Do I Actually Have to Talk to the Parents?
Youth coaches sometimes joke that the ideal youth team is a team of orphans. Though this approach is one solution to problem parents, there are other more practical solutions. One of the best is regular communication with parents.
Everything a coach does with the team is in parental view. In the absence of coaching guidance, parents form and communicate their own opinions of the status of the team and the steps necessary for improvement. Some parents may be objective and knowledgeable about the sport, but if they don't speak up, then the overall team opinion may be shaped by others. For coaches, these parent-to-parent and parent-to-player communications can become distracting to their efforts to make team improvements.
Coaches should consider short and regular meetings with all parents to help shape these opinions and give parents better insight into what to watch for in games and practices. In a recent Sports Esteem survey of coaches and parents, over 60% thought that coaches should at least meet occasionally with parents after a game. In these meetings, coaches might cover:
Recent team performance giving parents insight into the progress the team is or is not making in various areas.
Approaches taken in practices that are attempting to shape game performance.
Reemphasis of team goals and objectives.
Realistic guidance concerning upcoming game and practice performance.
Positive comments concerning every player. Mentioning only a few players may raise more parent concerns.
Reminding parents to praise their children's efforts and encourage their kids to have fun and develop a love for the game.
The overall test of a youth coach is whether his players have fun, learn new skills and want to play again next season. Yet, in the emotions of a game or issue, these goals can get lost or seem secondary. Coaches need to have the courage and conviction to keep their parents working toward these goals and this requires regular and consistent communication. The temptation to avoid parental contact only amplifies problems over time and lets small problems become large problems later in the season.
Parents help judge the success of coaches, teams and seasons. In the absence of information, their judgments will vary greatly based on their own experiences and knowledge. With information, parents gain better appreciation for the challenges coaches face and continue to learn how they can best support their child's efforts.
Five Easy Ways to Feed the Fear of Your Players
Coaches can have a big impact on the way players deal with the fears that can arise from sporting competitions. Every competition has an outcome. But, focusing on an outcome before the competition is over means that players are not focused on the immediate challenges of game play. Coaches can improve team performance and increase the chances of a win by keeping their players focused. However, there are five easy ways to help players lose this focus and start focusing on the fear of failure. These include:
Make a Game's Outcome Do or Die – Every game is going to have a winner and a loser. If players are thinking about the end of the game, they are not thinking about playing the game.
Sharply Punish Failures – When players know that their mistakes will bring about a harsh penalty, their performances will often be motivated by images of failure rather than by images of success. Unfortunately, outcomes often follow these images.
Don't Acknowledge Player Concerns – Players know when they are playing in a big game. If coaches don't help shape the way that players think about these games, then players will shape their own thoughts and often with an excessive fear of failure.
Overemphasize Opponents – All teams are capable of being beaten. But, some are much more difficult than others. Elevating the stature of opponents can give players additional fears of embarrassment and humiliation beyond the normal fear of defeat.
Give Players a Larger Purpose – When audiences for games include more than just family members, it is easy to remind players that they are playing for their school, their organization or for some more significant purpose than the game itself. This takes a player's attention outside the boundaries of the game and into the stands.
Though most coaches have often played in big games, it is easy to forget that most youth players have not. When coaches help keep players focused on the game, they are giving them the best chances of success and the best tools for minimizing fear.
Criticize the Performance Not the Player
Coaches are an important influence in a kid's life. Their words always carry more significance to the child hearing them than the to the coach who is saying them. As such, it is easy for coaches to phrase things in ways that are heard as much harsher than was intended. When helping kids develop new skills or when dealing with team selections, coaches should be careful to focus player discussions on tangible behaviors and away from things that have broader personal or family meaning. For example:
Personally Focused and Confusing
What's wrong with you today?
We don't want you on our team.
Why can't you play as well as Tommy?
How long have you been playing this sport?
We are looking for better kids.
Why can't you play more like your brother?
Did your dad teach you that?
Are you this way in school too?
Would your mom be proud of this behavior?
Don't let this team down.
Why can't you be better?
Performance Focused and Better
Your effort is not up to your usual level.
There were other players who in our judgment made better effort.
You will need to move more quickly if you are to have an impact during the play.
Let me show you where you need to be when these events happen.
We need players with more advanced skills.
If you are not feeling well, take a break and try again in a few minutes.
We are counting on a good performance from you today.
When coaches are careful to keep discussions focused on behaviors, they are also keeping their players focused on things they can change. When conversations become more personal, it makes it harder for players to equate a simple change of behavior with improved performance. Giving players a clear set of expectations and measurements is the easiest way to get the most from a team.
Trying Out for a Select Team – The Parent Quiz
If Your Kid Can Make the Team, Can You?
Given the importance of team chemistry, many select and travel teams are starting to evaluate parents as well as the players when making their decisions for limited team spots. Parents who have demonstrated inappropriate behavior or who have caused problems for coaches or staff often put their kids at a disadvantage. Parents who don't have the right perceptions of select sports can also cause problems for teams. Here is a quick questionnaire that teams can use to evaluate the parents of select or travel players.
Instructions: Choose the BEST answer from the list provided. The word "select" can also mean "travel". A hint is provided at the end of the question.
1. What is the proper role of parents on a select team?
Help the coach spot flaws in the team.
Help the coach track playing time.
Help bring the coach's attention to bad officiating.
Provide support and encouragement for their child and team.
If parents provide a supportive and nurturing environment for their kids, coaches will have an easier time focusing on player and team skills.

Turning Around a Problem Parent
Last week's post covered the 10 commitments that coaches should expect from parents. When these commitments are missing, coaches may find the team or a player suffering as a result. Here are some ideas for working through this problem.
Assume parents are trying to help. In spite of what parents may be doing, most are behaving as they are because they believe their actions will benefit their child. Many times parents may be repeating inappropriate behaviors that were used with them when they played sports.
Educate parents about best practices. If parents are working in their child's best interests but are going about it wrong, then coaches can give parents alternative behaviors that will accomplish the desired results.
Communicate frequently with parents as individuals and as a group. The more parents and coaches are at ease talking with each other about small issues, the more parents and coaches will be comfortable talking about more difficult issues.
Rely on beginning of season communications. If the coach has held a meeting early in the season and given parents a clear set of goals and playing philosophies, coaches can go back to those to statements to restart the relationship.
Seek help from league officials. Don't hesitate to discuss a problem parent with the supervising league official. This provides an opportunity to gain insight into the parent or the problem as well as alerting others to a difficult situation.
Seek advice from other coaches. With coach turnover, coaches are seeing problems with parents and parent issues that have been resolved many times by other coaches before them.
Use parent meetings to form consensus and invoke peer pressure. Parent meetings are good times to set expectations for team parent behavior and discuss them. Parents are more likely to act in ways that they believe are supported by other parents.
Rely on printed league statements and codes of conduct. In extreme situations, coaches may need to reference the league's Code of Conduct to warn that current behavior may risk league actions. Coaches should use the league as the enforcer of these policies.
There is no standard approach to parent problems. A strategy focusing on communication, education and enforcement gives coaches the best chances of resolving parent issues.

The Orcia Valley
The Orcia Valley is a land far from the noisiness and the uproar of modern life, happily remote from the highways and big road junctions. The unsuccessful industrial developement of the area and the never ending link betwen the inhabitants and the traditional arts and crafts of the past have safeguarded the man - environment relationship, raising it to a dignity hardly known elsewhere.
The Orcia Valley is not only a geographical area naturally privileged by its history or an area poetically definable through a series of images, it is also, more than anything else, an ecosystem of social, geographical and cultural relations to be protected and known in its complexity.
The inhabitants of the land constantly pursued a vital relationship with nature in the past, a relantionship which was sometimes consciously strong , sometimes unconsciously sweet. The signs left by this enables us to understand the past by looking at the landscape of to day, drawing us nearer to those ancient visions which charmed painters, artists and travellers.
The vegetation, which thickens on the hilltops and encloses streans in a desperate siege, creates unforseeable depths and ideograms; it then shapes fluiting barriers, rhythmic signals and cornices with its sudden presence.
Upwards, where the hilly line breaks down on the suddenly hard and sharp profiles of the fortresses, the vegetation thickens to tin out again in the soft lines of the vineyards and orchards.
Morpholo gically speaking, the Orcia Valley turns up as a vast clayey offshoot which still maintains heaps of tufa with golden and soft sandstone, running non stop towards Mount Amiata and Cetona. The clay downs which once frightened the travellers along the Roman Road maintain their ancient beauty, but the relentess encroachment of modernity has contributed to the modification of the appearance of the country in several areas. That is why the task of the inhabitants of the valleis to defend their land today which as any other great patrimony of nature, has to be protected from extinction. It is the world of the �Crete� the sweetest Sienese hills, rising up one ofter the other like long waves of an ocean, crowned with cottages and cut by long rows of cypress trees flanking the country roads.
Here the hamlets and castles are the same colour as the clumps of Autumnal fields, the towns have famous names ant the flocks are still numerous. Few other landscapes change color and atmosphere with the passing of seasons, the way this country does, so it is ochre in Autumn, light green in Spring,yellow at harvest time. Few other landscapes offer so many cues to the photographer or painter. In the background, nearby and impressive, always stands the volcano of Mount Amiata.
To mark the landscape, east of Mount Amiata, are two rivers, not particularly famous but quite interesting: the Orcia and the Paglia. The Orcia rises at the foot of Mount Cetona, between S. Casciano dei Bagni and Sarteano, goes north through a large end severe plain, reclaimed in 1929, then bends west through a wild gorge dominated by Rocca and Ripa d�Orcia.
On the other side of the mountain, past the railway station of Mount Amiata and the winding road leading up to St. Antimo and Montalcino, the landscape becomes more characteristic of the �Maremma�, as far as the river flows into the River Ombrone.
The course of the Paglia is shorter: it rises in the confluence of several streams running between Radicofani and Abbadia San Salvatore, flows southwards to the old boundary between the Popedome and Graunduchy of Tuscany, and then bends eastwards among the thick woods of the Natural Reserves of Mount Rufeno (Latium) and Mt. Meana (Umbria). It runs at last into a wider valley and after bordering the steely Orvietan Rock, it flows into the River Tiber.
Between the two rivers, the hills and the gullies offer the naturalists different landscapes: lapwings and ringdoves are sighted in the sky, in May wild orchids appear in the meadows.
Spas, hot springs, smoke-holes complete the landscape to show the volcano is alive.
The hot waters and the vapours of Mount Amiata give the landscape of this side of the mountain a surprising and somewhat Dantesque atmosphere.
The Via Cassia, one of the most beautiful and varied roads in Italy and all over the world, takes the traveller to the areas east of Mount Amiata.
Built about 220 B.C. as a sign of reconciliation and control over the Etruria conquered by Rome, the Via Cassia links Rome to Florence, (and to Fiesole in the past) going through the hills of Nepi, Sutri, Viterbo and the great plain of Tuscia, the shores of Lake Bolsena, Siena and the s inuous valleys separating �the Chianti� from the hills of St. Gimignano. The Amiatan stretch is about 40 Km. long from the Latium-Tuscany borders to St. Gimignano. The present lay-out of the road runs fast and smooth, avoiding the famous slopes up to Radicofani, which were so tiring in the Middle Ages and still difficult to travel on twenty years ago, but which offers a wonderful view of the volcano.
Almost coinciding with the old Via Cassia was the lay-out of the via Francigena, one the medieval Pilgrim routes to Rome. The route, of which an accurate description dating bach to 994 A.D. by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Siberis is Kept intact, climbed over the Alps at the Great San Bernard Pass, arrived in Paris and crossed the Appennines, descending to Pontremoli and Lucca . The route then skimmed Florence, heading south to Siena. After Mount Amiata, it sloped upwards to Radicofani, skirted around Lake Bolsena, went on towards Rome through Montefiascone, Viterbo and Sutri.

Not possible to modernise Islam, Spiegel Online
Written by CEMB on February 27, 2007 . Posted in Media Coverage.
Human rights activists have formed a "Central Council of Ex-Muslims in Germany" to help women renounce the Islamic faith if they feel oppressed by its laws. Its Iranian-born founder Mina Ahadi, under police protection after receiving death threats, talks to DER SPIEGEL about its goals.
Mina Ahadi has received death threats after founding the group.
An Iranian human rights activist living in Germany has formed a "Central Council of ex-Muslims in Germany" with 40 others and has received anonymous death threats after declaring she wants to help people to leave the religion if they so desire.
Iranian-born Mina Ahadi, 50, said she set up the group to highlight the difficulties of renouncing the Islamic faith which she believes to be misogynist. She wants the group to form a counterweight to Muslim organisations that she says don't adequately represent Germany's secular-minded Muslim immigrants.
Ahadi has been put under police protection in recent days. Renouncing Islam can carry the death penalty in a number of countries including Iran, Saudi-Arabia, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Sudan and Mauritania. In other countries people who turn their backs on the faith aren't punished by courts, but they are often ostracized by family and friends. It's a difficult subject among Muslim communities in Europe too.
Ahadi said she wants the new organization to help women who feel oppressed by the rules of the faith to find a way out. The Council will hold a news conference in Berlin on Wednesday to outline its goals.
DER SPIEGEL spoke to Ahadi.
SPIEGEL: Together with 29 other immigrants from Muslim countries you have declared that you have renounced Islam. The campaign is similar to one launched in the 1970s by women who declared publicly that they had had abortions. What is your purpose?
Ahadi: I haven't been a Muslim for 30 years. I'm also critical of Islam in Germany and of the way the German government deals with the issue of Islam. Many Muslim organisations like the Central Council of Muslims in Germany (ZMD) or Milli Görüs engage in politics or interfere in people's everyday lives. They were invited to the conference on Islam (hosted by the government in Berlin last year). But their aims are hostile to women and to people in general."
SPIEGEL: Why?
Ahadi: They want to force women to wear the headscarf. They promote a climate in which girls aren't allowed to have boyfriends or go to discos and in which homosexuality is demonized. I know Islam and for me it means death and pain.
SPIEGEL: What will your organization do?
Ahadi: One example: One representative of the Central Council of Muslims in Germany said that a carnival procession float (during the recent carnival in Germany) showing Islamists with explosive belts had offended Muslims. But there was no evidence of that. The associations pretend that they represent everyone and to some extent are acknowledged as such by the German side. That's bad. We have to give a signal against that and say: Not in our name. We are secular humanists. We want to give these people a voice. Someone has to make a start. We're advocating human rights.
SPIEGEL: Some of your members are also active in communist organizations in their home countries.
Ahadi: Yes, many were active in left-wing groups. We have received more than 100 membership applications in recent days. We want to create a new movement, in other European countries too. We hope that soon there will be 10,000 of us representing many more people.
SPIEGEL: Won't your campaign just harden the battle lines?
Ahadi: I don't think it's possible to modernize Islam. We want to form a counterweight to the Muslim organisations. The fact that we're doing this under police protection shows how necessary our initiative is.

Q: Storing printed data into variables I have this code below that prints out the Link Quality & Signal Level of WiFi connection. I'm trying to store the data retrieved into a variables so I could process further but I'm stuck having no idea how to do so.
while True:
cmd = subprocess.Popen('iwconfig %s' % args.interface, shell=True,
                       stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
for line in cmd.stdout:
    if 'Link Quality' in line:
        print line.lstrip(' '),
    elif 'Not-Associated' in line:
        print 'No signal'
time.sleep(1)

Example of the output
Link Quality=63/70  Signal level=-47 dBm

A: You have two options,

*

*Modify the existing code base

*Write a wrapper over the current executable code

If you go for option 1, I guess it is plain and simple Python code.
If you go for option 2, you will want to parse the standard output stream of the existing executable code. Something like this would work:
from subprocess import getstatusoutput as gso

# gso('any shell command')
statusCode, stdOutStream = gso('python /path/to/mymodule.py')
if statusCode == 0:
    # parse stdOutStream here
else:
    # do error handling here

You can now parse the stdOutStream using multiple string operations which shouldn't be difficult if your outputs have a predictable structure.

A: Instead of printing, save the result into data structure, for examle into list like following:
while True:

    for line in cmd.stdout:
       results.append(dict(re.findall(r'(.*?)=(.*?)\s+', line))
    time.sleep(1)

for count,data in enumerate(results):
    print('Run number: {}'.format(count+1))
    for key,value in data.iteritems():
        print('\t{} = {}'.format(key, value))

Astronomers have never seen anything like it: two stars, each swaddled in planet-forming discs – and then a third, larger disc around the entire lot. Named IRS 43, the system is 400 light years away from Earth.
The cosmos is chock-full of stars surrounded by planets and planet-forming discs. It's also home to many binary systems in which each star has its own planetary disc – a rotating disc of gas and dust. We even know of a few planets that orbit both stars in binary systems, though these worlds are rare.
In IRS 43, all three discs are skewed relative to each other, making the system unique in the observed cosmos, says team member Christian Brinch at the University of Copenhagen's Niels Bohr Institute in Denmark.
Both stars in IRS 43 are very young and about the size of the sun. Each has a disc that is about the size of our solar system, and is probably in the process of forming planets.
The planets can't be seen directly because they are obscured by dust, but we can trace the regions where they are forming using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array in northern Chile (pictured above).
How the smaller discs formed is an open question, according to Brinch. "All three discs most definitely formed out of the same material. However, whether the two smaller discs formed by fragmenting the big disc or whether they are a result of material flowing in from the big disc is not entirely clear," he says.


Looking for good ideas for pallets ?, not doubt wood pallets recycling and re purposing options are unlimited, a person just need a creative mind to create the stuffs like furniture, crafts, patio things like vertical gardens, all these stuffs can be easily made out of wood pallets.
Garden gives you a great chance to spend your time in a nature friendly outdoor space. There are different natural and unnatural ways to decorate your garden. For instance, colorful plants provide a natural source of decoration. Now a day, pallet vertical gardens are frequently used to grow plants of different types. This is an unnatural source of decoration and frequently used for ornament and food cultivation. You can use pallet wood in creative ways to grow your own food items with the help of different methods in the pallet wood. The pallet planks feature spaces to perfectly house flowers and herbs. These serve as perfect handmade beds for your garden.
Pallet is a main item used to make the pallet garden, but it should be carefully constructed, because the use of any chemical can harm both human and plants. Carefully select the size and design of the pallet garden. You can wash it with some soapy solution to make it clean for plants. Carefully select area where you want to place the pallets for cultivation. You can try various arrangements and alignments and place them on the floor in the targeted area. Decide the dimensions of pallets and dig up soil, according to it. This can be easily done with the help of garden digging tools. Place the pallet on the targeted area and carefully fill the soil in the pallet for cultivation.
Creating a vertical garden is nice idea, here having a this pallets craft in your garden or your living room, or you can place it at entrance of your home, could create a pleasing look and feel.
After creating 1 x 4s of pallets you the divided the pocket holes for different herbs sections.
Now put the plants into the sections of pocket holes and place your pallets vertical garden at the any place especially at the entrance of home.
I was wondering to have a mailbox, and found a lot of designs on the internet, but all to expensive, the I utilize the pallets ideas to create a mailbox, its very cheap and more attractive to look. Pallets and scrap solves the problem to reuse, recycle, and re purposed to create a mailbox which is matching our barn house. Here is DIY Tutorial of Pallets mailbox.
All you need is just a one pallet.
A mailbox base 2*10 made with pallets and some scrap.
The Pallets Mailbox cutting procedure.
Its a raw look of pallets mailbox.
Here is final look of pallets and scrap mailbox, looking so cool matching with the environment.
I found a great pallets stage idea on internet, and would like to share, this man done really a great job will pallets, having a pallets stage in garden or backyard is really a handsome patio idea. Creator created nice furniture over the stage, I really like the sofa he created with pallets with pallets table. So having stage like this in your garden can create a great party environment, I also like the stairs he created with pallets. Look and adopt this cute pallets idea.
Pallet wood is less expensive as compared to the retail dimensional lumber. You can design small tables and stairs with pallet wood.
If you want to save a sufficient amount of money in the designing of stairs and tables, use pallet wood that is durable. If you are building something from scratch, it is not important to have fresh retail dimensional lumber, because the scrap pallet can be used for a building project. Pallet can be recycled for different projects, such as stairs, small tables, benches, etc. Arrange pallet wood, but be careful while selecting the wood, because it should be free from any gaps, wood-worm and rot. Number and size of the boards will be based on your needs. Sand the pallet wood for smooth surface and calculate the rise and run of the steps to cut the board.
It is an interesting option to build a staircase with the wooden pallet. Just put the pallets together in stages to form a durable ladder. You may have to use two beams to construct a durable ladder. It is important to arrange pallet wood, metal beams, nails and other important tools. Decide your own structure and design to have unique and beautiful stairs to compliment the beauty of your house. You can use paint to give a perfect finish to pallet stairs. Pallet wood is a great choice for furniture in your house, because it is easily available and can be used after sanding it.
I like to share some creative good ideas of wood pallets, many people made amazing looking and elegant things with wooden pallets. Have a look below and start your next diy pallets project.

Fall is a time most clothing designers live for. They spend months creating new styles to be modeled on runways in New York, Milan, and Paris hoping to have the "must have" look of next Spring or Summer.
This Fall we present a new look from Sacramento tech-firm Uptown Studios (uptownstudios.net) for the IPPF that will be on computers, tablets, and phones around the world. After months of sketches, wire-frames, and coding, I am very excited to announce our new website: www.pemphigus.org.
The new site is easier to navigate and features resources and support at your fingertips. The "responsive" design keeps its look and feel no matter what screen size. We added accessibility features like variable text sizing and a high-contrast display. Our social media links, search box, and donation button are conveniently located at the top of each page. Our home page features a testimonial section. Read what others have to say about the IPPF. You can also submit your own story to be shared on our site!
A big part of our mission is support. In addition to the Email Discussion Group, RareConnect community, and social media sites, we added Desk.com support.
Our Patient Support team can now provide fast, awesome customer service on a modern, flexible platform over various channels. Patients and caregivers can find answers in the self-service portal using existing FAQs, email questions to our PHCs, or post to the general community. And when they are online, you can chat live with a PHC!
I am also excited about the Awareness Campaign portal currently being developed. It will contain resources and information for dental professionals and Awareness Ambassadors. Our goal is to keep P/P on the RADAR of dentists and provide them with tools and training needed to reduce P/P diagnosis time and increase your quality of life.

AMA Ranked #1 In the Nation in Government Services
View a message from AMA Consulting Group's
CEO Stephanie Rosario-Smith
Listen friends, we have been hard at work, it has paid off BIG TIME!!
This is our official announcement that AMA Consulting Group, LLC has been designated The Fastest Growing Government Services Company in the nation, by Inc. Magazine. That's right, we made Inc. 5000's Fastest Growing Companies list for 2022!
Here's how it happened…
In 2015, this company was founded by 4 people (4 minority women) who had a simple desire to support the high number of people in our communities facing housing needs. They were initially tasked with simply assisting a local housing agency in improving one of their programs. From this simple effort, we saw the birth of creativity, innovation, and a suite of solutions tailored for the affordable housing industry. Solutions that make a real difference. Very surprising to them, these four ladies ended up becoming a highly sought-after boutique consulting firm.
From there, it was an intentional choice by each of these pioneering women to face each challenge as an opportunity to shine expressing integrity, gratitude, and consistent excellence. This resulted in growth… lots and lots of growth. A few key partners, contracts, and some fierce leadership and AMA grew from 4 to 400 persons in less than 4 years. In the midst of all this growth, AMA Consulting Group has become the agency of choice, for innovation, education and operational excellence.
…and to #1
Growth like this is fantastic, but it amounts to very little if we're not putting it to good use, not only for ourselves but for our clients as well.
We all go about our everyday tasks, email this… meeting here… project work there… and sometimes growth just happens. But in our case, this growth was intentional. It was always our goal to impact others. And Inc. Magazine, one of the most prestigious business magazines in the nation, noticed our efforts.
AMA Consulting Group was recognized as the #1 fastest growing company in the nation for government services. Not only that, we also ranked #58 fastest growing company in the country overall. Out of 5000 company candidates, AMA was ranked #58. AMAzing!!
This is an incredible honor, and we don't take it lightly. We are extremely aware of what it took for us to get here, and we know we couldn't have done it without the support of our clients who believed in us, our partners who have supported us every step of the way, and most importantly our staff who worked tirelessly to uphold our values and push us forward each day!
Proud doesn't even start to describe how we feel. Our CEO, Stephanie Rosario-Smith, said it best when she stated, "I have learned that I have plans, but God has a bigger plan." And this is definitely bigger than what AMA initially planned!
Early on, AMA set its core values, and determined to use them as a compass guiding the decisions we would make as an organization. One of those values is "Relationships Over Transactions" where we clearly state, "We are not afraid to walk away from opportunities that do not align with our values." For us, lasting success is attained by remaining true to ourselves. ICEO Stephanie Rosario-Smith responded, "When the world was in crisis and organizations were calling on the team to help, I remember sitting at breakfast and talking to my husband with tears in my eyes saying, if I said 'yes' to the calling it would mean lost family time, Thanksgiving, Christmas, even New Years. It would mean being available to the state, to the city, to the municipality, to the families and landlords, and many sleepless nights. In my husband's solid knowing he said to me, 'If not you, then who?'"
Here AMA said yes, when so many other organizations were saying no. Our core values were reflected in the opportunities we were presented with and stepped into the unknown with intention and purpose.
In 2021, in the middle of the pandemic, our organization created over 350 jobs nationwide, served over 265,000 households in crisis, for many of our fellow Americans across the country. This chain reaction we are creating is what fuels us. When we see firsthand the results of influence in our communities, and our ability to have purpose behind our growth, it encourages us to embrace the hard moments. What initially seems somewhat unsurmountable, produces long-lasting strength, growth, and positive impact. We're Just Getting Started
Even though it's a huge deal to have made this exclusive list, we are humbled to be included. But please recognize, we are just getting started!
We have an outstanding executive team and a collective vision to continue to serve our communities. There is so much more we want to accomplish, and the need for the work we do continues. This incredible honor will only open more doors for us to keep on doing what we are purposed for.
"Each day, take one step toward ending poverty and greed." Stephanie Rosario-Smith, CEO – AMA Consulting Group, LLC
