Q: How to parse the following multi-dimensional xml-like data into a dataframe I have explored an XML based API for work-related things, it comes from warehouse data. Ideally I want to do some analysis in python with pandas.
Aggregate(aggregate_dimension_value_list=[ DateAggregateDimensionValue(value=datetime.datetime(2013, 8, 28, 19, 30, tzinfo= UTC )) , None,  StringAggregateDimensionValue(value=u'VIRTUALLY_LABELED_CASE') ], quantity=127) ,

Aggregate(aggregate_dimension_value_list=[ DateAggregateDimensionValue(value=datetime.datetime(2013, 8, 28, 19, 30, tzinfo= UTC )) ,  StringAggregateDimensionValue(value=u'PPTransMergeNonCon') ,  StringAggregateDimensionValue(value=u'PRIME_BIN_RANDOM_STOW') ], quantity=15)

Aggregate(aggregate_dimension_value_list=[ DateAggregateDimensionValue(value=datetime.datetime(2013, 8, 27, 21, 0, tzinfo= UTC )) ,  StringAggregateDimensionValue(value=u'PPTransFRA1') ,  StringAggregateDimensionValue(value=u'PRIME_BIN_RANDOM_STOW') ], quantity=8) ,

The data looks like the above stream, after I did some find and replace in VIM (I know i can just script this in python). How do I best get this weird-format into Pandas? I ideally want datetime, the String aggregatedimension value, and the quantity. But there is a lot of None, in this parse-needed data.
   In a dataframe it'll be easy to do some analysis, but I'm a bit stumped here (and feel a lot like a n00b).
EDIT:
Here is the unregexed and un-replaced data that I get and want to parse. It isn't really XML so XML doesn't work.

A: If you would prefer something more along the lines of a parser, here is a pyparsing stab at your problem:
from pyparsing import Suppress,QuotedString,Word,alphas,nums,alphanums,Keyword,Optional
import datetime

# define UTC timezone for sake of eval
if hasattr(datetime,"timezone"):
    UTC = datetime.timezone(datetime.timedelta(0),"UTC")
else:
    UTC = None

_ = Suppress
evaltokens = lambda s,l,t: eval(''.join(t))

timevalue = 'datetime.datetime' + QuotedString('(', endQuoteChar=')', unquoteResults=False)
timevalue.setParseAction(evaltokens)

strvalue = 'u' + QuotedString("'", unquoteResults=False)
strvalue.setParseAction(evaltokens)

nonevalue = Keyword("None").setParseAction(lambda s,l,t: [None])
intvalue = Word(nums).setParseAction(lambda s,l,t: int(t[0]))

COMMA = Optional(_(","))

valuedexpr = lambda expr: (Word(alphas) + "(" + "value" + "=" + expr + ")").setParseAction(lambda t: t[4])

lineexpr = (_("Aggregate(aggregate_dimension_value_list=[") +
            valuedexpr(timevalue)("timestamp") + COMMA +
            (nonevalue | valuedexpr(strvalue))("s1") + COMMA +
            (nonevalue | valuedexpr(strvalue))("s2") + COMMA +
        "]" + COMMA +
        "quantity=" + intvalue("qty"))

Use lineexpr.searchString to pull the data out of each Aggregate:
for data in lineexpr.searchString(sample):
    print data.dump()
    print data.qty
    print

giving:
[datetime.datetime(2013, 8, 28, 19, 30), None, u'VIRTUALLY_LABELED_CASE', ']', 'quantity=', 127]
- qty: 127
- s1: None
- s2: VIRTUALLY_LABELED_CASE
- timestamp: 2013-08-28 19:30:00
127

[datetime.datetime(2013, 8, 28, 19, 30), u'PPTransMergeNonCon', u'PRIME_BIN_RANDOM_STOW', ']', 'quantity=', 15]
- qty: 15
- s1: PPTransMergeNonCon
- s2: PRIME_BIN_RANDOM_STOW
- timestamp: 2013-08-28 19:30:00
15

[datetime.datetime(2013, 8, 27, 21, 0), u'PPTransFRA1', u'PRIME_BIN_RANDOM_STOW', ']', 'quantity=', 8]
- qty: 8
- s1: PPTransFRA1
- s2: PRIME_BIN_RANDOM_STOW
- timestamp: 2013-08-27 21:00:00
8

dump() will show all the named results values that are available to you - note how the quantity attribute can be accessed directly using data.qty. This was setup for you with the definition of the results name "qty" in "quantity=" + intvalue("qty"). timestamp, s1, and s2 can be accessed similarly. (There is still a little evaling in this, cleaning that up is left as an exercise for the reader.)
EDIT:
Here is the modified pyparsing parser, to process your original raw XML-like stuff. The changes were really pretty minor:
from pyparsing import Suppress,QuotedString,Word,alphas,nums,alphanums,Keyword,Optional, ungroup
import datetime

# define UTC timezone for sake of eval
if hasattr(datetime,"timezone"):
    UTC = datetime.timezone(datetime.timedelta(0),"UTC")
else:
    UTC = None

_ = Suppress
evaltokens = lambda s,l,t: eval(''.join(t))

timevalue = 'datetime.datetime' + QuotedString('(', endQuoteChar=')', unquoteResults=False)
replUTC = lambda s,l,t: ''.join(t).replace("< UTC>","UTC").replace("<UTC >","UTC").replace("<UTC>","UTC")
timevalue.setParseAction(replUTC, evaltokens)

strvalue = 'u' + QuotedString("'", unquoteResults=False)
strvalue.setParseAction(evaltokens)

nonevalue = Keyword("None").setParseAction(lambda s,l,t: [None])
intvalue = Word(nums).setParseAction(lambda s,l,t: int(t[0]))

COMMA = Optional(_(","))
LT,GT,LPAR,RPAR,LBRACK,RBRACK = map(Suppress,"<>()[]")

#~ valuedexpr = lambda expr: (Word(alphas) + "(" + "value" + "=" + expr + ")").setParseAction(lambda t: t[4])
valuedexpr = lambda expr: ungroup(LT + (Word(alphas) + "(" + "value" + "=" + expr("value") + ")" + GT).setParseAction(lambda t: t.value))

#~ lineexpr = (_("Aggregate(aggregate_dimension_value_list=[") +
            #~ valuedexpr(timevalue)("timestamp") + COMMA +
            #~ (nonevalue | valuedexpr(strvalue))("s1") + COMMA +
            #~ (nonevalue | valuedexpr(strvalue))("s2") + COMMA +
        #~ "]" + COMMA +
        #~ "quantity=" + intvalue("qty"))

lineexpr = (LT + "Aggregate" + LPAR + "aggregate_dimension_value_list" + "=" + LBRACK +
            valuedexpr(timevalue)("timestamp") + COMMA +
            (nonevalue | valuedexpr(strvalue))("s1") + COMMA +
            (nonevalue | valuedexpr(strvalue))("s2") +
        RBRACK + COMMA +
        "quantity=" + intvalue("qty") + RPAR + GT)

A: You can define minimal classes for Aggregate, DateAggregateDimensionValue, and StringAggregateDimensionValue, then eval each line in turn:
import datetime

# define UTC timezone for sake of eval
if hasattr(datetime,"timezone"):
    UTC = datetime.timezone(datetime.timedelta(0),"UTC")
else:
    UTC = None

# define minimal classes to eval initializers
class AggregateDimensionValue(object):
    def __init__(self, value):
        self.value = value
class StringAggregateDimensionValue(AggregateDimensionValue): pass
class DateAggregateDimensionValue(AggregateDimensionValue): pass
class Aggregate(object):
    def __init__(self, aggregate_dimension_value_list, quantity):
        self.timestamp, self.s1, self.s2 = aggregate_dimension_value_list
        # pull values out of parsed "aggregate" instances
        self.timestamp = self.timestamp.value
        if self.s1 is not None:
            self.s1 = self.s1.value
        if self.s2 is not None:
            self.s2 = self.s2.value
        self.quantity = quantity

Use these minimal classes to eval the input strings:
for line in sample.splitlines():
    if not line.strip():
        continue
    obj = eval(line.strip(' ,'))
    print obj.__dict__

Gives:
{'timestamp': datetime.datetime(2013, 8, 28, 19, 30), 's1': None, 'quantity': 127, 's2': u'VIRTUALLY_LABELED_CASE'}
{'timestamp': datetime.datetime(2013, 8, 28, 19, 30), 's1': u'PPTransMergeNonCon', 'quantity': 15, 's2': u'PRIME_BIN_RANDOM_STOW'}
{'timestamp': datetime.datetime(2013, 8, 27, 21, 0), 's1': u'PPTransFRA1', 'quantity': 8, 's2': u'PRIME_BIN_RANDOM_STOW'}

Of course, this comes with all the usual caveats about using eval, such as beware of any possible injection of malicious code. But I suspect you are already in control of this input file yourself, so if you inject your own malicious code, you have only yourself to blame.


Like almost all other aspects of modern life, technology is having a transformative impact on veterinary medicine. Practitioners now have access to a high-tech equipment and examination techniques that were practically unheard of in veterinary medicine just a few years ago. Case in point: thermal imaging.
We've heard them all before: this year I'm going to get in shape, eat 100% healthy, or completely change as a person. New year's resolutions are of course great in theory. Unfortunately, the reality is that within just a few weeks most people forget their proclamation, stop going to the gym altogether, buy their first takeout burger of the year, and slip right back into old habits.
It's not uncommon for vets, technicians, and hospital managers to decide to switch things up and start working in a different type of practice. Whether it's going from general practice to emergency medicine or vice versa, there are lots of things to consider while making the switch.
Feeding our hospitalized patients can be a challenge at times. From finicky felines to feeding tubes, we've determined the top 5 difficulties of feeding in-patients!
The very first person a client will likely communicate with in your practice is the receptionist. This interaction usually sets the tone for the client's visit to your clinic, so it doesn't surprise anyone that this really is a huge "make it or break it" part of your hospital!
Too often this crucial role is overlooked and undervalued, so we wanted to point out all of the fantastic reasons why we love veterinary receptionists (and why you should, too!).
Many people think that it takes grand gestures to make their team happy and feel appreciated. Working together year round to make everyone's lives easier, and doing little day to day things for each other are just as important. So without further ado, here are the top six things you can do in the clinic to brighten someone's day.
Vet techs: we love our job, but there are always frustrations when it comes to doing it! One of those things can be administering IV fluids. Here are some common issues we have with this part of the job (and some solutions).

TEDxSanDiego Women spotlights big transitions, hard challenges tackled by female leaders
TEDxSan Diego's Jack Abbott and Anna Marie Houghtailing kicked off the TedxSanDiegoWomen event Sunday in La Jolla
(Bailey Made)
By Mike Freeman
After decades as an elite softball player, Natasha Watley wondered if she had any marketable skills to succeed after her sports career ended.
Julie Collens knew starting a genomics company to help find a cure for Alzheimer's disease would be difficult. About 150 proposed drugs have already failed over the past two decades.
Tackling life's big transitions and taking on hard challenges were two of the top themes at the first TEDxSanDiego Women conference held Sunday at Estancia La Jolla Hotel & Spa.
About 100 attendees, mostly women, came to the conference organized by TEDxSanDiego, an offshoot of the nonprofit TED organization.
TED is an acronym for Technology, Entertainment and Design. It was founded about a decade ago to spread ideas internationally through 20 minute TED Talks around the globe.
For Watley, the discipline, consistency, leadership and teamwork she learned in Olympic and professional softball have plenty of value beyond sports. The 35-year-old recently retired from playing professionally in Japan.
For Collens, the regret she would feel years from now if she didn't try led to her founding Vivid Genomics in San Diego to help bring precision medicine to the fight against Alzheimer's.
"It is ideas worth spreading," said Ann Marie Houghtailing, a volunteer who helped organize Sunday's event. "There's TED Med, TED Ed, TED Global. The idea of TED Women is to focus on the accomplishments and advancement of women. They are talking both about their experience but also the process that they had to go through to get there."
Cristina Schaffer attended the event with her daughter, Sabina, a senior at UCLA.
"I think a lot of people just want to share good stories," said Schaffer, who volunteers at the School of Leadership and Education Services at the University of San Diego. "But to dig into the harder stories, those are often the most important to share. It is an exciting time for women right now. Women feel more empowered."
Watley, an Olympic gold and silver medalist, retired with little idea about what to do next.
"I started to wonder what I was good at? Did I just waste 30 years for a round piece of metal?" she said. "I started to think at the age of 35, everybody else is in the middle of their careers. I just stopped a career and have to start all over again."
What she discovered in the process of re-inventing herself was "nothing we do in life is wasted," she said. "You are already valuable."
She founded the Natasha Watley Foundation in Woodland Hills, a nonprofit, fee-free softball organization for young inner city girls.
"What I learned is life after gold looks a lot like life before gold," she said. "I am just applying it in a different way to pave the way for young girls to become leaders."
Collens launched Vivid Genomics to develop tools to help bring the precision medicine techniques now common in oncology to drug development for Alzheimer's.
The start-up has raised $1.2 million so far. Applying precision medicine to Alzheimer's disease can be tricky. The onset of the disease varies depending on the individual, as does the pace of its progression.
But Collens said she felt like she had to try. "It is really important that we take up this challenge of doing hard things because that is how we are going to solve hard problems," she said.
TEDxSanDiego Women is a precursor to the larger TEDxSan Diego event slated for June 20. It will feature several speakers including Gill Sotu, a poet and teaching artist at the Old Globe theater, acclaimed musician Tina Guo, author and speaker Matt Emerzian, and educator Jeffrey Zlotnick.
"TED has always been focused on big ideas," said Jack Abbott, who runs the TEDxSanDiego. "What we see going forward is a continuation of these smaller, hyper-focused events at venues like the Estancia, and then doing what we would call the main event once a year."

The Cannabis Clinics of Ontario look after assessing if you're a suitable candidate for medical cannabis. We are the Halton chronic pain management team that consists of doctors with decades of experience. We understand the best pathways to suitable pain management.
We even have research as to the benefits of medical marijuana for a variety of different issues including anxiety and depression. Perhaps one of the more interesting aspects of our work is that some of the data we've come found deals with alcohol and opioid withdrawal symptoms.
Although there is much research work to be done, using medical cannabis for these situations and others shows a lot of promise.
We've put together some interesting factoids about medical cannabis that we thought you might enjoy.
Legalization in Canada aside, we'll bet you didn't know that marijuana is the most trafficked, abused and cultivated drug anywhere in the world according to the World Health Organization. In fact, in any given year almost 148 million people use cannabis. That includes 23 million Americans who are at least 12 years of age. There is 8.4% of the American population that has reported using cannabis on a monthly basis.
In America, the FDA is looking into how it can scientifically look at the cannabis claims as they relate to helping people with medical issues. They want to be able to put together a framework to study the claims made by people with various symptoms in a scientific way. It's this kind of interest that has drawn our Halton chronic pain management team into the debate.
Cannabis can be traced all the way back to the ancient world. In fact, there is evidence that it was used over 5000 years ago. There is even evidence that it was used for medicinal purposes around 400 A.D. In America, cannabis was used for patients as a medicine in the 20th century around 1850. Restrictions on the drug started in 1937 and legal penalties were put into place around 1951 in 1956.
California became the very first state in America to allow legal access in 1996. At that time, regulations were put in place to allow for medical cannabis for certain additional uses. The Compassionate Use Act was put into place specifically so that medical cannabis could be used only under doctor's supervision.

Galway Commemorating
What the Papers Said
As part of the Decade of Commemorations (1913-23) Galway County Libraries has created this blog dedicated to recounting the social, cultural and political life of the ordinary men and women of Galway city and county during the course of the year 1916.
Through extensive research of the local Galway newspapers from the early 1900s, this blog will gather and publish articles and letters throughout 2016 as they would have appeared in the papers, 100 years ago.
We hope to give an insight into the lives of the people of Galway at the time, their day-to-day experiences, challenges and aspirations, as well as reflect on the people's feelings towards the various contemporary national political and social questions, and their reactions to the Easter Rising, in its immediate aftermath.
Galway Rising – What the Papers Said will remain as a permanent resource that can be accessed by future generations and as a comprehensive insight into life in Galway in 1916.

It may be called the Sleeping Bear Dunes, but that doesn't mean the national park wants the animals wandering around campgrounds there.
Biologists say the lakeshore has had more than 20 black bear sightings so far this year.
Two of those sightings have been at the D.H. Day Campground.
Peter Baker and his family are camping at the D.H. Day Campground.
He says they are doing everything they can to make sure bears stay off their site.
"We keep our food locked and sealed up," said Baker. "We'll keep our food in the car and in the cooler and not worry about it."
Sue Jennings is a biologist for the wildlife program at Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore.
She says campers need to be aware of what is around their campsite.
"Bears have a tremendous sense of smell and they will soon be storing up extra fat reserves for the winter. It only takes one successful trip to the campground – they'll remember where they got the food and they'll keep coming back," said Jennings.
That's why cans like this are available to campers and trash cans are fully covered at all of their campgrounds.
"People should store their food properly and roll up the windows in your car," said Jennings.
So what should you do if you see a bear?
"A normal bear will be fearful of humans– they are really shy," said Jennings. "If a bear does come in– we tell campers to make loud noises, clap their hands and bang pots and pans – bears will normally scamper off," said Jennings.

Professor Martin McQuillan


On Oct. 30, 2014, the Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB), a nonprofit organization that sets financial reporting standards that nearly all state and local governments conform to, proposed a rule that would redefine generally accepted accounting principles in order to increase transparency around tax incentive, or abatement, programs. The Pew Charitable Trusts, which works with states to measure the costs and benefits of incentives and make them more predictable, examined the rule, particularly as it relates to transparency and to the ability of jurisdictions to implement the requirements.
Pew's review found that GASB's proposal offers an opportunity for governments to collect and share consistent data about their tax abatement programs. The emphasis on transparency should encourage state and local policymakers to use more reliable information to conduct robust evaluations and plan strategic programs. However, the proposal may also present compliance challenges for some governments, particularly smaller jurisdictions and those that lack the capacity to collect and report on new information.
After a year-long effort to survey legislators, citizens, and bondholders, GASB found significant demand for information about the extent and results of abatement activity in state and local governments. The financial impact of tax incentives has grown quickly and unexpectedly in recent years and can throw state budgets out of balance, potentially necessitating tax hikes or spending cuts. Yet only six states have statutes that require external reporting after tax abatements are granted, and "only fourteen states include provisions for benefit recovery (clawbacks) in instances of nonperformance by the recipient of the abatement," according to GASB.
The proposal comes at a time when a growing number of state and local leaders, policy analysts, and citizens are calling for greater accountability for economic development investments. Although it is not clear whether the rule will take effect, policymakers seeking to better understand the cost of tax incentives can nevertheless pursue ways to increase coordination between state and local governments and encourage detailed and frequent reporting on these investments and their impact.
The proposed standards would require state and local governments to provide descriptive information about tax abatement programs as part of their comprehensive annual financial reports for "as long as a tax abatement agreement remains in effect."* GASB defines tax abatements as "resulting from an agreement between a government and a taxpayer in which the government promises to forgo tax revenues and the taxpayer promises to subsequently take a specific action that contributes to economic development or otherwise benefits the government or its citizens."† As currently written, the rule would not require disclosure of information about individual tax incentive recipients, such as their names, compliance with agreed-upon targets, or the length of incentive awards.
Amount of revenue forgone during the financial reporting period.
Total number of incentives in effect and awarded during the financial reporting period.
Total commitments made by incentive recipients (such as job creation or capital investment).
Provisions for recapturing abated taxes, known as clawbacks (if any).
Statutory (or other) authority for reducing taxes and determining the incentive amount.
Other commitments made by the state or locality as part of the agreement.
GASB accepted public comments on the proposal until Jan. 30, 2015. If passed, the final standards will go into effect in December 2015.
* Government Accounting Standards Board, "Proposed Statement of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, Tax Abatement Disclosures" (October 2014), Project No. 19-20E, http://www.gasb.org/jsp/GASB/Document_C/GASBDocumentPage?cid=1176164497029&acceptedDisclaimer=true.
Similarly, the rules may require only minimal changes in some large cities that actively monitor incentives through performance agreements, clawback provisions, and pre-award cost-benefit analyses. For example, New York City issues a regular tax expenditure report that includes the number of recipients and total forgone revenue for each municipal incentive program. Like many states, some local governments may be able to use the information they already collect to comply with the GASB standards.
Several municipal officials said they were concerned about whether their limited staff would have time for additional reporting—even if they already collect the data. Some argue that a one-size-fits-all approach may particularly burden smaller organizations and jurisdictions.
The GASB proposal introduces new opportunities for coordination between state and local governments in collecting data and preparing reports, even those that already collect disclosure information. The proposed rule states that if a tax abatement program involves multiple jurisdictions, such as a school district and a local government, those jurisdictions may opt to file reports either individually or jointly. Pew research finds that at the state level, coordination and sharing of information across multiple government offices and economic development agencies are necessary to conduct quality evaluations. Thus the GASB proposal may offer an opportunity for state and local governments to work together in a similar manner to give policymakers a more complete picture of tax abatement program outcomes across jurisdictions.
Although sharing information about tax incentives is an important goal that can lead to more effective evaluations, in practice it can present substantial challenges to governments, some of which may be exacerbated by the requirements in the GASB proposal. Some localities already struggle to provide the information currently required by their states. In Indiana, for example, only three of the state's 92 county auditors filed required tax abatement information with the state in 2013. In the same year, the Washington state auditor's office found that only 611 of the state's 1,956 local governments filed their required annual financial reports.
Further, many jurisdictions include multiple organizations that offer incentives without established protocols for sharing information. For example, a 2012 report from New Mexico's Legislative Finance Committee found that the state's approach to job creation was "fragmented and uncoordinated" and that the state lacked a consistent process for collecting data on and measuring results of incentives.
Despite the potential challenges presented by the GASB proposal, state and local policymakers should seek opportunities to introduce new practices to improve coordination—such as regularly collecting and sharing better data—which in turn can support better evaluations of tax incentive programs. For governments that have already begun to evaluate or monitor incentives, more robust requirements, such as those in the proposed rule, could improve and standardize reporting on specific program aspects. And for governments that do not prepare such reports, such requirements could prompt necessary action toward future evaluation.
State and local policymakers seeking to better understand tax abatements may consider regularly evaluating economic incentives to ensure a more effective, comprehensive economic development policy. As Stephen Klein, chief fiscal officer with the Vermont Legislative Joint Fiscal Office, said, the proposal is "a first step … in trying to capture some of the stuff that goes on that isn't being captured now." Pew recommends that policymakers not only collect regular data but also translate that information into timely and relevant evaluations and use those to inform policy decisions.
One important element of this effort is identification of the specific purpose for every incentive program, as required in the GASB proposal. Pew has found that a lack of clarity about the objective of economic development incentives is a major obstacle to completing high-quality evaluations.
Many states are already attempting to better define the purpose of their incentives. For example, a 2013 legislative audit in Nebraska found "that the program goals expressed by the Legislature in the statutes and during legislative debate are too general to permit a meaningful evaluation of whether the programs are, in fact, accomplishing what the Legislature hoped they would accomplish." As a result, Nebraska lawmakers passed a bill in 2014 to clarify the purpose of the state's major tax incentives and created a special legislative panel to offer recommendations on how to further refine and measure goals.
Regardless of what happens with the proposed GASB rule, recognition of the need for better information to inform rigorous evaluations is growing among policymakers across the country: From 2012 through 2014, 10 states and the District of Columbia enacted laws that require regular evaluation of all major economic development tax incentives or improvement of existing processes. Rather than basing decisions on anecdotes, lawmakers want frequent, rigorous, independent analyses that measure outcomes and recommend ways to improve effectiveness.

Parish ministry is her sixth career. She was previously a researcher for a public interest group, mid-level manager in state government, freelance journalist and consultant, managing editor for a national trade magazine, and manager and developer of corporate training programs.
Her church positions were as senior pastor with The Park Church in Elmira, NY (2010-2017) and Arlington Community Church in Kensington, CA. (2004-2009).
She believes that God is experienced rather than understood, and that doubt is to belief as dissent is to democracy — to have the latter without the former is sham. The important thing is the journey, not the destination, and it is most joyful when we travel together, with all of our differences and uncertainties.
In addition to spiritual direction and writing, Felicity serves as a volunteer hospital chaplain and engages in the ministry of hospitality through renting her cottage (called "Eleison," which is Greek for "mercy") to visitors through Airbnb.

I never leave house without some splashes of a nice perfume, I'm more of a one perfume kind of girl but I like to change at least once a year, just to try out different scents and create new memories. When I smell a perfume I was wearing a specific year I directly get reminded of the happenings of that time, therefor I like to change and not use the same fragrance for too long.
A while ago Klemens and I tried the new Salvatore Ferragamo perfumes, the Signorina Misteriosa and the UOMO Salvatore Ferragamo which are supposed to fit perfectly together, since we are a couple it would be fun to have matching fragrances, different notes but which compliments each other perfectly.
Klemens is my perfect match in every way, he fills out my empty space and I fill out his. He pushes me while I calm him, we improve each other and highlight our good sides. We are different to each other in a way that compliments us and together we heal, learn and grow. But as in any relationship, we need to keep some mystery.
The Signorina Misteriosa is a new fragrance from Salvatore Ferragamo for the mysterious yet unpredictable and modern woman, it's sweet with black vanilla and fruity with sour blackberry. The black vanilla keeps it a bit dark and mysterious while the sour blackberry balances it out for a fresh scent.
On the other hand, the UOMO Salvatore Ferragamo fragrance for men is also sweet but with top notes of Bergamond (citrus) and black pepper. It's spicy, hot and fresh for the creative and elegant man, perfectly matching the sweet and mysterious signorina!
In collaboration with Salvatore Ferragamo Parfums.
Hi, could you please tell me where your dress is from? It's amazing. or is it the skirt with the sweater? Please let me know, as i am heading to the wedding soon and it would be perfect. Great quality of the photos. I follow you on instagram you are really talented. Thank you.
Wow! every single photo is a piece of art!

Q: removeChild in javascript/ DOM is not working correctly when more than one is present in the function UPDATE:
Here's the JsFiddle link:
http://jsfiddle.net/zAVFv/
It seems to be not working in JsFiddle, but guess it serves to show the whole code - html, css and Js.
I am facing a very weird situation in DOM editing using Javascript. My sample code is below. Basically, the swapCells would take in two objects, which have 2 children each - one is an img element, and the other is a textNode. What I want to see is the how removeChild works.
I have marked the 2 lines where all the confusion comes from.
issue#1 is on the line where sourceTD has its child removed, issue#2 is when the lastChild is removed from the destinationTD.
Let me explain how the code below is running:
a) when only issue line#1 is present in the code, the sourceTD child gets removed, the output says source has 1 child of img type; destination has 2 children - img and text ---- works as expected
b) when only issue line #2 is present in the code, the destinationTD child gets removed, again works similar to above, AS EXPECTED
c) NOW THE PROBLEM - when both lines are present in the code, it only removes the sourceTD lastChild. output is received only for the sourceTD part of alerts. The destinationTD alerts are not coming, so I am unable to evaluate whether the destination child got removed
CODE:
function swapCells(sourceTD, destinationTD){

//line below is issue line#1
sourceTD.removeChild(sourceTD.lastChild);

//line below is issue line#2
destinationTD.removeChild(destinationTD.lastChild);

    if(sourceTD.hasChildNodes()){
        alert("Source has: " + sourceTD.childNodes.length);
        alert(sourceTD.childNodes[0].alt);
        alert(sourceTD.childNodes[1].nodeName);
    }
destinationTD.removeChild(destinationTD.lastChild);
    if(destinationTD.hasChildNodes()){
        alert("Destination has: " + destinationTD.childNodes.length);
        alert(destinationTD.childNodes[0].alt);
        alert(destinationTD.childNodes[1].nodeName);
    }
}

Please let me know why the code is behaving abnormally when both the issue lines are present. Also, is there something like a function can remove only a single node, or that only a single removeChild will work...????? I am confused.
Thanks!

A: Sorted -> http://jsfiddle.net/zAVFv/3/
The first childNode of TD is a newline not the img element .... incremented the numbers by 1 and its working fine ... seems a little flimsy to use in a prod environment - unless you can control the HTML - perhaps look at using getelementbytagname('img') instead ?

A: When you have both lines in there, you end up calling destinationTD.removeChild(destinationTD.lastChild); twice, so both children get removed. Your if statement then evaluates to false because destinationTD has no child nodes, so you don't get anything output - in this case, lack of output is proof that the code IS working, rather than proof that it ISN'T.

A: Ahhh... figured it out.
the issue was because of an error created due to referencing a childnode that was no more present, after deletion.
For example, if the sourceTD has 3 children, and were referenced as childNodes[1], and childNodes[2], then upon deletion of the lastChild of the sourceTD, there is no longer childNodes[2], as there are only 2 left and no third node anymore. As a result of this error in JS, the remaining code is somehow suppressed and not run. so this is the reason why the destinationTD alerts also are getting suppressed.
Stupid referencing..!
Thanks everyone, especially @ManseUK for all the help

Celebrate good times and make your own party popper from an old loo roll tube, leftover gift wrap and a balloon. This confetti launcher is so easy for kids to make and will really liven up any celebration. With it you can send confetti flying all over the place at your New Year's Eve party, birthdays, weddings and any other event you can think of.
This confetti launcher really works, just fill it up with confetti, pull the end of the balloon, let it go and watch hundreds of sparkly confetti pieces blast high up into the air and land everywhere.
Scroll down for our brilliant step-by-step guide on how to make a confetti launcher.
Age group: Kids as young as 3 can get involved in making this confetti launcher – they will just need help cutting out the gift wrap.
Find a flat surface to work on and gather together all the craft materials you need to make a confetti launcher.
Take a loo roll tube and some leftover gift wrap.
Using scissors, carefully cut out a rectangle shape from the gift wrap, measuring approx 110mm x 185mm.
Take a loo roll tube and a sheet of pink felt.
Using scissors, carefully cut out a rectangle shape from the pink felt, measuring approx 110mm x 185mm.
Spread one side of the gift wrap rectangle entirely with some glue stick and wrap it around the loo roll tube. It should fit perfectly.
Take a balloon and tie it up without blowing it up. Then using scissors, cut the top of the balloon off.
Pull the balloon over the end of the decorated toilet roll tube, leaving the knot hanging down.
Decorate your confetti launcher. We tied a silver tinsel pipe cleaner around it to hide the edge of the balloon and give it a bit of sparkle. But you could use some sparkly tape, stickers or even glitter. And that's it! Your confetti launcher is ready to use. Just fill it with confetti or gold and silver stars, hold the confetti launcher upwards, into the air and away from your face, pull the end of the balloon and let it go again to send the confetti flying all over the place.

Christoph Büchel (born 1966) is a Swiss artist known for provocative contemporary installations. He received international attention for constructing a mosque in a Venice church and suggesting that prototypes for Donald Trump's wall should be considered land art.

Early life and education
Christoph Büchel was born in Basel, Switzerland, in 1966.

Dispute with Mass MoCA
Since early 2007, Büchel has been ensconced in a legal dispute with the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art (commonly known as "Mass MoCA"). The museum had agreed to take on Büchel's massive project, "Training Ground for Democracy," only to balk at certain costs associated with some of the planned installations. The museum, which had already invested significantly in the exhibit, won permission in court to open it to the public without the consent of Büchel, who claims to do so would misrepresent his work.  Mass MoCA's Director, Joe Thompson, decided to dismantle it instead without opening it to the public.

Selected works

For the 2015 Venice Biennale, Christoph Büchel contributed Iceland's national pavilion which consisted of a conceptual work of art which transformed the 10th-century old Church of the Abbey of Misericordia into a generic mosque. Labeled The Mosque: The First Mosque in the Historic City of Venice, it  was partly inspired by disputes in Iceland over building the first purpose-built Reykjavík Mosque. After a complaint presented by a member of the neo-fascist party New Force, the Venetian authorities closed the installation, citing permit violations.

Büchel encouraged artistic recognition of eight prototypes of the border wall erected near the US-Mexico border. Büchel mobilized support through an online petition.

For the 2019 Venice Biennale, Büchel displayed Barca Nostra, a shipwreck that had sunk with hundreds of migrants aboard.

In autumn 1988, a new world opened up to Timo Hämäläinen. The boy, who had started school in the small municipality of Kangasala, moved to Saudi Arabia with his family.
His parents, who worked as doctors, took the family to Tabuk where they found a house behind a high wall with the hustle and bustle of the city and its bazaars right on the other side.
"I realised then the attraction of cities," says the 32-year-old Hämäläinen now.
After the stay in Saudi Arabia, cities followed one after another: Tampere, Helsinki, San Diego, Berlin, New York, Brussels, Tilburg, Manchester and Tallinn. Hämäläinen has immersed himself in the world of cities, gaining two master's degrees on the topic.
"Cities are fascinating because they are so dynamic."
Earlier this year, a quality British newspaper, The Guardian, featured Timo Hämäläinen's blog From Rurban to Urban, hailing it as one of the best city blogs in the world.
The number of visitors to his blog has grown exponentially since then.
Besides via the article in the Guardian, readers find their way to his blog using such search words as Tapiola, Puu-Vallila and "Finland ugly cities".
Finnish architecture arouses interest also outside the country borders.
Hämäläinen focuses on Helsinki and the urban planning in the city but the Tourist Board should not rub its hands with glee as Hämäläinen has a keen eye for flaws.
A typical Finnish cityscape is a shopping centre next to a motorway, the writer argues. Another claim is that urban planning in Helsinki is insipid.
"Helsinki could be much bolder. The city is still being built on the 1960s suburban model."
As proof of this, Hämäläinen offers Ruoholahti and Arabianranta, with their lack of life on the street level.
In contrast, Kallio, where Hämäläinen lives, showcases pleasant and sensible city planning. A new barber's shop run by men with Iraqi background just opened its doors on the street level of the house Hämäläinen lives in and gained him as a customer straightaway.
"There are a lot of people who like to lead a city lifestyle. That means corner shops and courtyards."
Hämäläinen calls himself an urbanist. People who believe in the principles of urbanism want to promote built-up, urban living environment and lifestyles that favour walking and green forms of transport.
With six kindred spirits, he is involved in drawing up a shadow city plan as an alternative to the official plan, which paints a vision of Helsinki with 860,000 residents by 2025. The group raises the stakes.
"When you design densely built areas, you can easily get a million residents without touching the parks and recreational areas."
The favourite city of this globe-trotter is New York, with Berlin close behind.
"Berlin is immensely fascinating. It's got all that history but has transformed itself into a hotspot of youth culture. Something is on all the time."
When in Berlin, he always visits Görlitzer Park in Kreuzberg.
"It's a real city park where you can find people at all hours of the day. Barbecues are lit and the place just oozes local history."
• Born 21 November 1981 in Kangasala.
• Lives in Sörnäinen, Helsinki.
• Holds master's degrees in planning Geography from Helsinki University and in European urban cultures from Vrije Universiteit in Brussels.
• Lists gym, ice hockey and urban blogging and studies as his hobbies.
Writing is in Hämäläinen's genes. His grandfather was Pertti Pesonen, professor of political science and the former editor-in-chief of the newspaper Aamulehti.
The reason why Hämäläinen writes his blog in English is connected with his grandfather. While in New York on a work placement, he visited a friend of his grandfather's in a local old people's home.
Why write in Finnish when it excludes such a huge number of people from the discussion, the friend queried.
Hämäläinen can spend days on polishing and perfecting his blog texts, which take him all over the city, where he takes pictures and contemplates what he sees.
Unlike fashion blogging with its perks of free make-up and advertising revenue, city blogging does not bring the writer any material benefits. The compensation comes in the form of comments by other urban enthusiasts, which can spark a lively discussion.
The journalist grandfather may well have passed some of his inquisitiveness to Hämäläinen, who gives urban hiking as one of his hobbies.
"You never know what you find around the corner."

Ageing, Disability and Spirituality
Release Date:15 Feb 2008
Addressing the Challenge of Disability in Later Life
Edited by Elizabeth MacKinlay
This collection examines theological and ethical issues of ageing, disability and spirituality, with an emphasis on how ageing affects people who have mental health and developmental disabilities.The book presents ways of moving towards more effective relationships between carers and older people with disabilities; ways in which to connect compassionately and beneficially with the person's spiritual dimension. The contributors highlight the importance of recognizing the personhood of all people regardless of age and of disability, whatever form it takes. They identify factors inherent in personhood and provide ways of affirming and promoting spiritual well-being for older people with disabilities.Valuable reading for practitioners in aged care, healthcare, chaplaincy, social and pastoral care, and diversional therapists, this book will also be of interest to older people, their families and friends.
RELATED TOPICS: Aging, Health & Well-Being
'The authors come from several academic and practice disciplines - theology, nursing, social work, ethics, recreation and diversional therapy and psychology. Importantly, the book also includes chapters written or co-written by persons with dementia and disability themselves, and incorporates the voices of ageing persons with disability via practice examples and quotes from qualitative research. As a result, the book presents multiple viewpoints on how ageing, disability and spirituality are experienced as individuals as care partners, care professionals, and the wider community.'- Dementia Journal'This book succeeds in challenging the reader to see dementia in a different framework, one in which there is profound wisdom about personhood and our values.'The Church Times 'This book is a series of essays focusing on the feelings of older people later in life and how relationships are affected by disability...Elizabeth and her co authors have together looked at many different ways in trying to describe how those with disability communicate their personal spirituality and feelings about life.'- NAPA'There is much that disabled and non-disabled people can learn from each other. This book goes a considerable way towards ensuring that this happens.'- Plus, Quarterly Magazine of Christian Council on Ageing
Elizabeth MacKinlay, an Anglican priest, is Director of the Centre for Ageing and Pastoral Studies in Canberra, Australia, and Chair of the Australian Capital Territory Ministerial Advisory Council on Ageing. She is Professor at the Charles Sturt University School of Theology. She won the 2006 Australasian Journal on Ageing (AJA) Book Award for Spiritual growth and care in the fourth age of life, also published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers.

Magdalena Andersson resigns after a few hours as Prime Minister. The Green Party left the government in Sweden.
The Green Party will not rule on a bourgeois budget. Therefore, they leave the government to the Social Democrats' Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson. She resigns as Prime Minister herself.

Last updated just now
Magdalena Andersson is asking to resign as Prime Minister of Sweden after the Social Democrats' coalition partner the Green Party left the minority government.
Just hours after Andersson was approved by the Riksdag on Wednesday, her budget was voted down. Instead, the Riksdag approved the budget proposal from the opposition parties Moderaterna (M), Kristdemokraterna (KD) and Sverigedemokraterna (SD).
The Green Party will not rule further on a bourgeois budget and left the governing coalition.
The budget was voted down
Sweden's new Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson got off to a tough start. Just hours after she was approved by the Riksdag, her budget was voted down.
Instead, the Riksdag approved the budget proposal from the opposition parties Moderaterna (M), Kristdemokraterna (KD) and Sverigedemokraterna (SD).
It is now clear that the Social Democrats' coalition partner the Green Party (MP) is leaving the minority government.

– Not our job
At a press conference, MPs' spokespersons Märta Stenevi and Per Bolund explain why they are leaving the government.
– Even though we have met the Center Party's demands, they have chosen to release a budget negotiated by SD, which separates people and people, slaughters the environmental budget and increases emissions, Stenevi says.
– It is not the MP's task to govern on an SD-negotiated budget. We have a unanimous party board behind us that we can not sit in a government on a budget that SD has negotiated, she says.
Knapp margin
Social Democrat Andersson's budget proposal was voted down by 154 to 143 votes. Earlier Wednesday, Andersson was approved as Sweden's 34th prime minister by the narrowest possible margin.
The background is that the Left Party on Tuesday agreed to give passive support to Andersson in exchange for the minimum pension being increased by NOK 1,000 a month. The Center Party's leader Annie Lööf then thought that the Left Party had gained too much influence and would therefore not support the government's state budget.
The MP says they are most critical of the fact that the opposition's budget entails a reduction in petrol taxes.

InterTran research project focused on expanding policy domain of traffic and transport in Europe
The 3-year project was concluded in September.
The project, carried out between 2011 and 2014, focused on the new, expanding policy domain of traffic and transport in Europe from both legal and logistical perspectives.
The interdisciplinary InterTran research project members of the University of Helsinki and the Aalto University organized a two-day concluding conference on September 2014. The project was funded by the Academy on Finland.
Assistant Professor Anu Bask, School of Business, was responsible for the logistics part of the project.
"Our results from the industry indicate that the key challenge to solve in rail-based intermodal transport is the availability of services as currently there is lack of services," said Anu Bask.
"Service availability is linked to the current geographic coverage of services and infrastructure, which both need to be developed in order to develop sustainable service supply," Anu Bask continued.

CROS 2019 conference
Crossing the border between English and Spanish
migration, interculturality, hydrid identity, language contact, Spanglish, anglicisms
Research goals
The research group CROS, founded in 2015, brings together experts in linguistic and literary analyses of hybrid texts, attesting language contact between Spanish and English. It addresses several research lines.
The group aims at contributing to a better knowledge of the impact English and the North American Society have on the literature production of emigrated Latin-American authors. In concrete, the same texts are studied from both a linguistic and literary viewpoint, after which the research results are compared. As such, the group wants to provide a better understanding of the social and linguistic functions of code-switching and related phenomena in Latin-American narratives. This comprises the following research objectives and questions:
To what extent can codeswitching, as a natural linguistic phenomenon, be studied on the basis of literary works? To what extent does 'literary Spanglish' correspond to 'spontaneous Spanglish'? Do authors apply codeswitching at the purpose of rhetorical effects? Systematic comparisons of literary and spontaneous codeswitching corpora are made of particular linguistic phenomena such as adjective placement in the noun phrase, word order, explicit use of subject pronouns etc.
These case studies should lead to a better comprehension of the 'grammar' of Spanish-English codeswitching. Can some recurrent grammatical rules be defined or are the observed phenomena highly dependent on individual speakers? If there seems to be some grammar at work: does English or Spanish grammar dominate?
The literary analysis focuses on the following themes in Chicano literature:
Construction of a twofold identity of Chicano-authors. Which social, cultural, religious and regional factors are reflected in Chicano identity, and how is this concretized?
How are social, geographical and gender borders represented in the literature? Does language help at delineating these borders?
Literary creation: the relationship between auto-fiction and memory; How does metawriting reflect the double identity of the writer or characters?
Some of these research lines tie up with the ones of CLIV.
The group wants to contribute to the 'measurement' of the impact of English on Spanish in Spain. In Spain, there is a growing presence of English in mass media, education etc. and hence an increasing influence of the Anglo-Saxon language and culture. The linguistic outcomes have been the subject of some controversy: some believe that the effect on Spanish syntax and semantics is real, especially among younger generations, whereas others situate the impact mostly at the level of the lexicon. Our research looks into the effects of language contact at various linguistic levels:
Is it mostly to be situated in the domain of lexical borrowings, are can concrete cases of impact on Spanish syntax be identified?
Can one observe a changing impact, for instance by the analysis of a particular phenomenon through different micro-diachronies?
Is it true that the impact is many to be situated among adolescents and younger generations?
Another research line focusses on the effects of situations of contact between Spanish and other languages and cultures (such as Basque, Catalan or Galician in Spain, or Nahuatl, Quechua or Portuguese, Italian and German in Latin-America). This also implies the development of Creole languages. To what extent do the outcomes of these diverse situations of language contact run parallel with those between English and Spanish?
A part of the investigation is dedicated to the effects of multilingualism and intercultural pragmatics, and more particularly the acquisition of Spanish as L2/L3/L4 and the influence of the native language (such as English or Dutch) on the use of Spanish.

Our refrigerated van experts in Central-Bedfordshire are on hand ready to help you make the right choice.
It isn't always easy to find a refrigerated van to fit your budget. With such a diversity of vehicles available we can help people whether they have £5000 to spend or are looking to spend tens of thousands of pounds. With finance arrangements available you can build the payments into your monthly expenses rather than having to pay a lump sum upfront.
