Alex Kofman (* 1949 in Kiew; † 26. Juli 1999 in New York City) war ein ukrainisch-amerikanischer Klezmer- und Jazzposaunist.

Kofman begann mit 13 Jahren sich für Jazz zu interessieren, nachdem er ein Konzert der Big Band von Benny Goodman erlebt hatte. Als Jugendlicher sammelte er erste musikalische Erfahrungen in sowjetischen Militärkapellen; mit 16 Jahren tourte er mit der Bigband von Eddie Rosner durch die UdSSR. Anfang der 1970er Jahre studierte er am Gnessin-Institut Moskau klassische Posaune; daneben spielte er in Jazzclubs und trat auf verschiedenen sowjetischen Jazzfestivals und im nationalen Radio auf. Außerdem spielte er mit gastierenden Bigbands wie dem Duke Ellington Orchestra und dem Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Orchestra bei Jam-Sessions. 1973 emigrierte er in die Vereinigten Staaten und arbeitete dort in den Bigbands von Buddy Rich, Thad Jones/Mel Lewis, Toshiko Akiyoshi/Lew Tabackin, dem Lee Konitz Nonet und in Slide Hamptons Trombone Ensemble, außerdem mit Dexter Gordon, Woody Shaw, Junior Cook, Bob Berg, Tom Harrell und Red Rodney. Anfang der 1980er-Jahre spielte er im Quintett von Lev Zabeginsky und im Andy Statman Klezmer Orchestra, mit dem 1996 Aufnahmen entstanden. Aufnahmen mit ihm und dieser Gruppe wurden auch auf zwei Alben von Geduldig un Thimann veröffentlicht.

Der Posaunist ist nicht mit dem gleichnamigen Elektronikmusiker zu verwechseln.

Q: onClick property fired when component is rendered react Hi I am building a frontend in react and I am rendering a List of places that I get from google maps api. I want each place to fire an action on onClick. If I don't pass any value it works, if I pass the id of the place that I get from props than onClick is fired when the list item is rendered leading to an error.
Here is the list component
import {ListGroup} from "react-bootstrap";
import {useDispatch} from "react-redux";
import {selectedPlace} from "../../actions/searchActions";

const PlaceList=function (props) {
    const dispatch=useDispatch()

    const handleClick=function (id) {
        console.log('ciao '+id)
    }
    return(
        <ListGroup>
        {props.places.map(item=>{
            return (<ListGroup.Item variant="flush" onClick={handleClick(item['place_id'])}>{item['formatted_address']}</ListGroup.Item>)
        })}
        </ListGroup>
    )
}

export default PlaceList

I want the onClick to be fired just when the list item is clicked. Any Idea on how to solve?

A: onClick functions should be called like this!
import { ListGroup } from "react-bootstrap";
import { useDispatch } from "react-redux";
import { selectedPlace } from "../../actions/searchActions";

const PlaceList = (props) => {
  const dispatch = useDispatch();

  const handleClick = (id) => {
    console.log('ciao ' + id)
  }
  return (
    <ListGroup>
      {
        props.places.map(item => {
          return (<ListGroup.Item variant="flush" onClick={() => handleClick(item['place_id'])}>{item['formatted_address']}</ListGroup.Item>)
        })
      }
    </ListGroup>
  )
}

export default PlaceList

A: Your onClick should be calling the function like this:
import { ListGroup } from 'react-bootstrap';
import { useDispatch } from 'react-redux';
import { selectedPlace } from '../../actions/searchActions';

export default (props) => {
  const dispatch = useDispatch();

  const handleClick = (id) => {
    console.log('ciao ' + id);
  };

  return (
    <ListGroup>
      {props.places.map((item) => (
        <ListGroup.Item variant="flush" onClick={() => handleClick(item['place_id'])}>
          {item['formatted_address']}
        </ListGroup.Item>
      ))}
    </ListGroup>
  );
};

Q: Executing code after specific time intervals, C# .NET I'm attempting to write a Windows Form App that sends different keys to the active window after certain (non-regular) time intervals.
For example, after pressing a button, the program will wait 3 seconds, then send an "H" to the active window. After 1 more second, it sends an "E", and after another second, it sends a "Y".
But when I try this:
Thread.Sleep(3000);
SendKeys.Send("H");
Thread.Sleep(1000);
SendKeys.Send("E");
Thread.Sleep(1000);
SendKeys.Send("Y");

the program waits (at least) 3 seconds, but does not seem to pause between the next two keys sent.
I've been trying to implement something similar using a Timer since Sleep only guarantees a delay at least as long the argument given, and I need something more precise. However, the only examples I've been able to find had code executing after a regular time interval.
Is there a way to use a Timer to accomplish what I tried using Sleep, or a better method in general?

A: Use SendWait instead of Send.
Thread.Sleep(3000);
SendKeys.SendWait("H");
Thread.Sleep(1000);
SendKeys.SendWait("E");
Thread.Sleep(1000);
SendKeys.SendWait("Y");

A: Your button event handler and your Thread.Sleep calls are happening on the same thread. Your form cant begin to handle the keys it received until your OnClick handler ends.
In your Click handler:
Thread t = new Thread(new ThreadStart(sendTheKeys));
t.start();

And then a method to send the keys,
private void sendTheKeys()
{
    Thread.Sleep(3000);
    this.Invoke(new MethodInvoker(()=> {SendKeys.Send('H');}));
    Thread.Sleep(1000);

    this.Invoke(new MethodInvoker(()=>{SendKeys.Send("E");}));

    Thread.Sleep(1000);
    this.Invoke(new MethodInvoker(() => {SendKeys.Send("Y");}));
}

Something like that should get you started. I did this off the top of my head and may have forgotten the nitty gritting of the Thread Start code

Musa Partska je bila jedna italska žena koju je Fraat IV: dobio kao dar od Cezara. Postala je njegovom priležnicom i ženom miljenicom. Njena sina Fraata V., češće zvana po deminutivu Fraatac, odredio je Fraat IV. za nasljednika. Kad je tako makla sve takmace za prijestolje s puta, 2. pr. Kr. Musa i njen sin otrovali Fraata IV. i sjeli na prijestolje.

Josip Flavije ju naziva imenom Thermusa, a poznata je i pod imenom Thea Urania (Astarte).

Povijest
Kad je Fraat IV. zaratio s Augustom, Marko Antonije nije bio u mogućnosti očuvati pod svojom vlašću krajeve koje je osvojio. Tako je Fraat uskoro vratio pod svoju vlast Atropatenu te istjerao Artavazdova sina Artaksa natrag u Armeniju.
Njegove broje okrutnosti su naljutile njegove podanike, koji su stoga 32. pr. Kr. postavli Tiridata II. na prijestolje. Fraata su na prijestolje vratili Skiti, a Tiridat je pobjegao u Siriju. Rimljani su se nadali da bi August mogao osvetiti poraz kojeg su Parti nanijeli rimskom generalu Marka Licinija Krasa, no on je riješio stvar mirovnim sporazumom, po kojem je Fraat vratio zarobljenike, a kraljevstvo Armenija je priznato za rimsku dependenciju.

S druge je strane, Fraat, čiji najveći neprijatelji su bili iz njegove obitelji, zauzvrat poslao kao talce jamce osiguranja tog sporazuma svojih petero sinova 20-ih u Rim. Među njima su bili Vonon I. te Tiridat III. kojeg su Rimljani nastojali postaviti kao vazalnog kralja 35. pr. Kr. Fraat ih je poslao kao talce na Musin nagovor. Njena sina Fraata V. odredio je za nasljednika. No kad su tako svi uklonjeni s puta, 2. pr. Kr. Musa i sin otrovali su Fraata IV. i sjeli na prijestolje.

Izgleda da su nakon toga bili suvladari, jer se na kovanicama kovanima nakon toga pojavljuju skupa. Josip Flavije nagađa da se je Musa potom udala za Fraata V. Budući da je to Partima bilo neprihvatljivo, ustali su i zbacili ih s vlasti, a vlast ponudili Orodu III., koji je nakratko vladao 6.

Levy conspired with other charged co-defendants to file a fraudulent lawsuit in the Ventura County Superior Court. The lawsuit falsely claimed a Los Angeles property owner reneged on an agreement to sell her property to one of Levy's co-conspirators, Patricia Jenkins (DOB 1/8/1955). Levy, a disbarred attorney, initially identified and targeted the property, then drafted the fraudulent lawsuit for Jenkins' signature. Another charged co-conspirator (Theodore Brian Childers, DOB 6/24/1938) is charged with filing paperwork with the court falsely claiming the property owner was provided notice of the fraudulent lawsuit.
Since the property owner was unaware of the lawsuit, she never appeared to contest it. As a result, a Ventura County Superior Court judge issued a judgment awarding her property to Jenkins. Another charged co-conspirator (Delano Bonier Hankins, DOB 2/11/1971) is charged with using the judgment to open escrow in Los Angeles. The property was then sold to an unsuspecting buyer for $428,600.
Levy will be sentenced on May 28, 2019, at 9:00 a.m. in courtroom 12 of the Ventura County Superior Court. It is expected he will be sentenced to five years in state prison. Levy will also be ordered to pay restitution. Jenkins pled guilty last year and will be sentenced on August 14, 2019 at 9:00 a.m. in courtroom 12. Childers' and Hankins' cases remain pending in the Ventura County Superior Court; they are due back in court on May 13, 2019, at 1:30 p.m. in courtroom 12.

Trio Sentenced to Prison for Sophisticated Real Estate Scam
VENTURA, California – District Attorney Gregory D. Totten announced today that Los Angeles County residents Patrick Abrahamian (DOB 1/6/70), Michelle Abrahamian (DOB 5/27/71), and Taline Indra (DOB 2/29/80) were each sentenced to prison for their theft of a Bell Canyon home. Patrick Abrahamian was sentenced to 11 years 4 months in prison. Michelle Abrahamian and Taline Indra were each sentenced to 7 years 8 months in prison. In February, the defendants were convicted following a one-month jury trial. The case is the result of an investigation conducted by the District Attorney's Real Estate Fraud Unit.
In 2012, Patrick Abrahamian approached the 65-year-old victim with an offer to help him negotiate a modification of his mortgage. In return, the victim agreed to move out and lease his home to the Abrahamians while Patrick Abrahamian supposedly negotiated a new mortgage for the victim. At the end of the lease term, the Abrahamians refused to vacate the home. After consulting with an attorney, the victim learned that a notarized grant deed had been recorded conveying his home, as a gift, to Abrahamian's wife, Michelle Abrahamian. At the time of the offenses, Michelle Abrahamian was a licensed real estate agent.
The deed gifting away the victim's home was fraudulently notarized by defendant Taline Indra, who is Michelle Abrahamian's sister. Patrick Abrahamian subsequently impersonated the victim in a lawsuit filed by Abrahamian against the victim's mortgage lender. This impersonation caused additional false documents to be filed in both the Ventura Superior Court and the County Recorder's Office. Michelle Abrahamian was found in possession of notary acknowledgments that falsely claimed the victim had appeared before defendant Indra to have his signature notarized.
Judge Michael Lief noted that the sophistication and brazenness of the defendants' fraudulent scheme "shocked the conscience of the court." In addition to the prison sentence, each defendant was also fined $500,000 and ordered to pay $189,382 in victim restitution.

Totten announced today that Los Angeles County residents Patrick Abrahamian (DOB 1/6/70), Michelle Abrahamian (DOB 5/27/71), and Taline Indra (DOB 2/29/80) were convicted by a jury of offenses relating to the theft of a Bell Canyon home.

Michelle Abrahamian was found guilty of violating Penal Code section 115 and Penal Code section 475, forgery. Taline Indra was found guilty of violating Penal Code section 115 and Penal Code section 470. The jury also found true special allegations that the value of the loss exceeded $500,000.

Sentencing for all defendants is scheduled on March 29, 2018, in courtroom 27 of the Ventura Superior Court, County of Ventura. Each defendant faces a maximum possible sentence of 11 years in state prison.

Post-Disaster Scam Advisory I VC District Attorney's Office
District Attorney Gregory D. Totten warned today that county residents should exercise increased vigilance against scams designed to exploit residents impacted by the Thomas fire.
The District Attorney recommends the following tips to avoid becoming a victim:
· Scammers posing as insurance company representatives may call homeowners with an option to pay an increased premium over the phone to expand coverage options for possible smoke damage, or to pay their deductible in the same manner. Insured individuals are advised to contact their insurance companies directly regarding any offers related to their insurance coverage. Only accept information from trusted sources.
· Exercise caution regarding unsolicited clean-up, repair, or construction scams. These scams are initiated door-to-door in impacted neighborhoods. They may involve demands for upfront payment or deposits, which are then pocketed while the promised work is never completed. Instead use only licensed contractors. You can verify a contractor's license at http://www.cslb.ca.gov/. If a contractor claims necessary work is covered by your insurance company, first call your insurance company to confirm. Consider using contractors recommended by your insurance company for any needed work and obtain more than one estimate. Also consider only using contractors with a local business location.

Defendant Pleads Guilty in Mortgage Rescue Fraud Scam
VENTURA, California – District Attorney Gregory D. Totten announced today that Orange County resident Rex Salonga (DOB 2/21/71) pled guilty to one felony count of grand theft, in violation of Penal Code section 487. The case was the result of an investigation conducted by the District Attorney's Real Estate Fraud Unit.
The victim, who lives in Oxnard, sought a mortgage loan modification from Salonga's business, Stone Crest Mortgage. Salonga falsely claimed he was a licensed real estate agent and promised to help the victim obtain a loan modification. Salonga solicited approximately $9,000 from the victim, claiming the money would be passed on to the victim's mortgage lender. Salonga instead deposited the money into his own bank account. The victim received no actual assistance from Salonga.
Salonga will be sentenced on January 5, 2018, at 9:00 a.m. in Ventura Superior Court, courtroom 12. He faces up to 365 days in jail and 60 months of formal probation and will be ordered to pay restitution. Salonga was convicted earlier this year of felony grand theft in Orange County for similar conduct.

Prosecution Update: William Kenneth O'Daniel faces 120 days in prison & 36 months of probation.
District Attorney Gregory D. Totten announced today that Thousand Oaks resident William Kenneth O'Daniel (DOB 6/6/61) was sentenced to 120 days in jail and placed on 36 months of formal probation. O'Daniel had earlier pleaded guilty to one count of False Personation under Penal Code section 529. The charges were the result of an investigation conducted by the District Attorney's Real Estate Fraud Unit.
Throughout 2011 and 2012, O'Daniel used the identity of two licensed mortgage brokers to process numerous loans without their knowledge or permission. The financial institution that funded the loans had previously discontinued using O'Daniel as an approved broker. They were unaware O'Daniel was processing new loans under the assumed identities.
O'Daniel's real estate broker license, and the corporate broker license of his company, Malibu Mortgage, Inc., were both earlier revoked by the California Bureau of Real Estate.

Lahiru (asyr. Laḫiru, aram. Lair) - w 1 połowie I tys. p.n.e. asyryjska prowincja leżąca na wschód od rzeki Tygrys, na obszarze pomiędzy rzekami Mały Zab i Dijala. Jej stolicą było miasto o tej samej nazwie (być może współczesne irackie Kifri).

Obszar ten podbity został w latach 731-729 p.n.e. przez króla Tiglat-Pilesera III (744-727 p.n.e.), który następnie przekazał go w zarządzanie gubernatorowi Arraphy. Nie wiadomo dokładnie kiedy tereny te przekształcone zostały w asyryjską prowincję, ale jej powstanie na pewno wiązać się musiało z utworzeniem sąsiadujących z nią prowincji Lubda i Szamasz-nasir. Najwcześniejsze informacje o prowincji Lahiru pochodzą z listu z czasów Sargona II (722-705 p.n.e.). Za rządów Sennacheryba (704-681 p.n.e.) do prowincji tej przesiedlona została ludność z plemienia Jasubigallejczyków. W inskrypcjach tego samego króla zbuntowany chaldejski przywódca Szuzubu (Muszezib-Marduk) nazywany jest sługą gubernatora Lahiru. Gubernator Lahiru o imieniu Atar-ili sprawował w roku 673 p.n.e., za rządów Asarhaddona (681-669 p.n.e.), urząd limmu (eponima). Prowincja wspominana jest też w listach z czasów panowania Asarhaddona i Aszurbanipala (669-627? p.n.e.). W 670 r. p.n.e. gubernator Lahiru, jego zastępca i dwóch innych podwładnych sprzedali wioskę eunuchowi następcy tronu z Babilonu (tj. eunuchowi Szamasz-szuma-ukina). Inny podwładny gubernatora Lahiru pojawia się w dokumencie datowanym imieniem eponima Nabu-da''inanni (czasy Aszurbanipala, po 648 r. p.n.e.). Prowincja Lahiru wzmiankowana jest również w jednej z list posiadłości z VII w. p.n.e.

Marketing Saiful Islam's Ri Christmas Lectures
Posted in: Event, Research promotion
christmas lectures, marketing campaign, saiful
Hopefully in between mince pies and merriment you caught this year's Royal Institution (Ri) CHRISTMAS LECTURES broadcast on BBC FOUR over three nights during the festive period and delivered by our very own Professor Saiful Islam.
Professor Saiful Islam - this year's Ri Christmas Lecturer. (Photo Credit - Paul Wilkinson).
In the time between Saiful being announced as the Ri's Christmas Lecturer for its 80th Anniversary year last August, through to broadcast over Christmas, we worked closely with him and the team at the Ri to ensure we made the most of the event from a marketing perspective - both in terms of Saiful's own research and expertise, as well as for the Centre for Sustainable Chemical Technologies, the Department of Chemistry and the University more generally.
'Supercharged: Fuelling the future'
From our end this included a range of marketing outputs: a new online feature on Saiful's journey; an extensive social media campaign across all channels (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn) which included video teasers for the lectures and competition to win tickets for filming; new printed materials to promote the lectures to our students; mail-shots out to our alumni; and of course use of the Digital screens around campus to highlight his involvement.
The amazing #xmaslectures are over, but you can catch @SaifulChemistry with a @RedditScience AMA Jan 4 if you have any questions! pic.twitter.com/amj3uUKXrz
— University of Bath (@UniofBath) December 28, 2016
In addition to all the preparations for filming, at the Ri our colleagues created a dedicated CHRISTMAS LECTURE section of the website; arranged photoshoots; created new printed collateral; and mailed their many thousands of subscribers about Saiful's involvement.
We also worked very closely with the Ri on media exposure too. Of the 150 pieces of national and international coverage across print and broadcast media particular highlights included features in the Observer 'You need more than one electric eel to light a Christmas tree'; an interview for Radio 4's Start The Week with Andrew Marr; as well as coverage across other national print media and, crucially, in the Christmas Radio Times!
All combined, with online traffic to the various marketing initiatives and press coverage, this helped capture an audience in the 100,000s in advance of broadcast. Viewing figures for the CHRISTMAS LECTURES - now available to watch again via the Ri Channel – suggest these were watched by over 1.7 million.
Follow on engagements
Fresh from his Christmas appearances, once back on campus in early January my colleague Chris arranged for Saiful to take part in Reddit AMA looking back at the lectures and focusing in on Saiful's own research. This has had an online reach of 7.5 million (for more on our AMAs see this other blog post).
In late January we then publicised new research from Saiful on developing faster, recharging lithium batteries which has already received significant national and international coverage.
The Ri held a Family Fun Day in early February in which Saiful gave mini-lectures (with bangs) and PhD students from the Centre for Sustainable Chemical Technologies presented a hands-on exhibit on green energy.
We're now eagerly awaiting Bath Taps into Science, where Saiful's family talk on Wednesday night has already sold out, and looking further ahead to Saiful's involvement in our 6 May University of Bath Festival.
Each year tickets to watch filming of the Ri's CHRISTMAS LECTURES are allocated by a ballot in September. This is open to Ri Members and UK schools; you can find out more about supporting the charity by becoming a member here http://www.rigb.org/globals/join-support/become-an-ri-member.

Fireworks started as a vocal trio with Marty McCall, Gary Pigg and Gwen Moore singing backup vocals on songs by B.J. Thomas and Amy Grant. In 1977 they released their debut on Myrrh Records with a pop/adult contemporary sound, but switched to a more rock-infused sound when they changed record labels to MCA Records. Their pre-MCA second album, Shatter The Darkness, is considered by some to be their high musical watermark.
Marty McCall went on to be a part of the popular vocal group First Call.

"one should be fluent in the language."
Sona Mohapatra has called it a "shame" that some Bollywood actors can "barely" speak in Hindi.
The singer said that while South Indian cinema embraces its culture, some Hindi film actors struggle to even speak the language properly.
The Hindi language debate hit headlines when actor Kiccha Sudeep said that Hindi is no longer the Indian national language.
This did not go well with Ajay Devgn, who had said:
"My brother, if according to you Hindi is not our national language then why do you release your movies in your mother tongue by dubbing them in Hindi?
"Hindi was, is and always will be our mother tongue and national language. Jan Gan Man."
When asked to comment on the debate, Sona said:
"I can say one thing, that I have watched RRR and Pushpa and I was literally jumping and dancing and kind of making the 'foofa' crowd uncomfortable and I had one reaction. Hats off!
"The effort, the art direction, the casting was brilliant. It was great to see them embrace their culture.
"Although we have some incredible stars in Bollywood, I must say that there are actors who can barely speak Hindi and it's a shame because, as a Hindi film star, one should be fluent in the language.

"The Indian aesthetics are quite strong in South films."
Sona Mohapatra will be seen in her documentary Shut Up Sona, which is described as a commentary on music and the Bollywood industry through a feminine lens.
On how she came up with the idea, Sona said:
"Shut Up Sona is a window to the life of a woman performing artist as it is about the politics of gender and the politics of our music industry.
"It is a commentary from a feminine lens where opportunities are few for us to make any kind of mark. And the irony is we are from the land of Lata Mangeshkar and Asha Bhosle.
"Lata Ji was a doyen when it came to the music industry, she influenced a whole country.
"But now we find ourselves in a place for the last 10 years where the number of female artists has steadily declined.
"The film is not an angry rant. It is a love letter to my country."
"But when it comes to Mumbai, there seems to be gatekeepers in the way who ensure that I have a much tougher time getting work, let alone be a woman with a voice.
"And I'm not going to stop talking anytime soon! That's why the title Shut Up Sona is kind of ironic and a tongue-in-cheek term.
"Let me clarify something. Unlike all other hagiographies made in Bollywood, this is not one of them.
"I have not made a film to glorify myself, neither is it an autobiography. I was not plying anyone with Sona Mohapatra's biography. It is a musical and political film.
"The reason I thought of doing this was I genuinely found myself pushed to a corner.
"I was in hospital and a tumour was dug out of my body and I said 'Oh my God, I need to tell my story!' I needed to grab this opportunity and not wait for anyone to give me a chance. The vision was simple.
"I wanted to write a musical love letter to India- cinematically. Never thought about where the money will come from?"
Shut Up Sona will begin streaming on July 1, 2022, on ZEE5.

Block paving nowadays has become the most popular choice for homeowners to enhance visual appeal and value of the property. Pavers are commonly used in exterior pavement applications. Paver block is a thin, flat block or un-reinforced piece of precast concrete or clay, laid on a thin, compacted bedding material. Interlocking pavers are used in outdoor hardscaping (Hardscape – the man-made features used in landscape architecture). To give the best aesthetic look to the patio of your house pavement and driveway pavers are the best option available in the market.
Block paving is a flexible pavement where load on surface is transferred to the underlying layers by load distribution. Flexible pavements like railway tracks which are standing on only crushed stone base is a classical case of flexible pavement. It is mortarless. The traffic load is distributed to the subgrade.
Due to availability from the large selection of materials, patterns, sizes, shapes and colours, most of the people prefer interlocking pavers to the concrete, slab and asphalt or any other rigid pavement. It is durable, ineffective to weather, environment friendly, cost effective, slip resistant and easy to install, repair and maintain.
Clay or brick paver is made with natural material (clay) and it is mixed with the various ingredients, then they are fired in a kiln at extremely high temperature to achieve the strength and also to create rich natural colours that are impervious to ultraviolet radiation.
Grass pavers are manufactured from either 100% recycled plastic or concrete material. The plastic or concrete grids are laid on the surface, and then vegetation is planted in each of the grid holes. This type of pavers an also be used to achieve sustainability.
Rubber pavers are made from recycled tyres. They are an environmentally friendly paving material.
*Length and width of the natural stone paver are different as compared to other pavers.
Paver patterns play a significant role in the long-term stability of the paved surface and its load-bearing capacity. Block paving is designed for the low traffic, medium traffic as well as heavy traffic.
It is suitable for all loading categories up to heavy-duty commercial traffic pavement.
It is suitable for pedestrian areas only & not recommended for vehicular traffic areas.
Both patterns are suitable for medium traffic commercial pavements (once to twice weekly goods vehicle traffic & it should be laid with longitudinal joints at 90 degrees to the direction of traffic).
Pavers cost depends on its type, shape and thickness of paver. Its price is between Rs 10 (0.15 $) to 50 (0.77 $) per piece or Rs 20 (0.31 $) to 75 (1.16 $) per sqft.
*Mass production of paver blocks has reduced cost of paver and has made it easily affordable.
Pavers are flexible pavement, so it is necessary to install pavers properly so that it gives less maintenance.
Paver blocks are cut into standard sizes, and it can be laid in the interlocking pattern. The joint of paver block are filled with fine sand and then sealed with a binding agent.
Paver blocks not only add natural beauty and elegance to your outdoor, but they are also the most durable alternative. Using pavers, you can achieve a great look to your structure as compared to the plain yard.

Q: How do I filter by date time datatypes I have a data frame where I need to filter by rows where registration date is equal to enrolment date below was the code I wrote that gave an error
master_data = master_data.query("registration date" == "enrolment date")

Note: the two columns are datetime datatype

A: IIUC, you can use something like:
master_data = master_data[master_data["registration date"] == master_data["enrolment date"]]

High Exposure: An Enduring Passion for Everest and Unforgiving Places.
By David Breashears
Admittedly stubborn and driven, Breashears recounts his life story-recollections of his abusive father and tumultuous childhood; his discovery and dedication to mountain climbing, which he has always equated with humankind's belief in hope; and his entry into filmmaking. His account of his 1996 Everest IMAX Filming Expedition, during which he and his crew sought to rescue survivors and reclaim the bodies of the people caught in the well-publicized Everest calamity, is a natural link to Jon Krakauer's 1998 Alex winner, Into Thin Air. The danger, the audacity, the adventure will keep teens enthralled, and send them to the shelves to find similar titles.

Inside the journey to escape Ukraine | The Express Tribune
By PressNewsAgency
KARACHI:
When Ehteshamul Haque bid farewell to his family in Dera Ismail Khan and boarded a Ukraine-bound plane in the winter of 2020, a lot was on the cards for the medical student but a war that would leave him beseeching his statesmen for emergency evacuation.
Even until a week ago, when the chatter about a possible Russian invasion was starting to fill the air in the city of Kharkiv, and civilians were picking up batons, he had hoped for it to pass.
"We had contacted the Pakistani embassy, they reassured us that everything was fine and that there were protocols in place if the situation escalates. We asked the university if we could go back home and take our classes online, but they too told us to stay put and that there was nothing to worry about," he recalled, wheeling his luggage through a packed metro station that had now become a bomb shelter for thousands of people trying to escape the Russian airstrikes.
The night of horrors
Although one could smell the tension suspended in Kharkiv's air days ahead of the conflict, the war entered the city on the morning of February 23rd, when a blast in one of the military bases close to the city rattled Ehtesham's apartment.
"We were still uncertain about how bad things were, but Kharkiv is just 40 kilometres from Russian soil and surrounded by military bases, so we knew we were in the eye of the storm," said the student, relentlessly dialing the emergency hotlines issued by his embassy, after being cooped up for several hours in the metro station, but all at vain.
When the realisation of the crisis slowly dawned, what many foreign students like Ehtesham needed to get through the ghastly night of February 23rd, was the comfort of community. "Everyone is too scared to be alone tonight, so people are trying to stay in groups, in case something goes bad," Priya, an Indian student, recalled updating her family back home over WhatsApp, adding that she'd called her Pakistani friend Areej to stay over with her.
The journey to Lviv
The next day, on the 24th of February, as news of Moscow's attack made headlines around the world, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced martial law across the country. Ehtesham, Priya and Areej, who were all students at the Kharkiv National Medical University, were now made aware of the full-scale attack on Ukrainian land and had been instructed to take shelter in bunkers and underground stations until further notice from their embassies.
According to text messages exchanged between Priya with her sister in Delhi, the Indian embassy had also been hard to reach, offering little to no help in translocating students from conflict-ridden Kharkiv to safety. "I am scared. We are being asked to walk 20 hours by foot, but it's not safe out there, and the sirens are constantly blaring to warn us of airstrikes," she had told her concerned sister.
On the other hand, the Pakistani Embassy had issued directives for Pakistanis to turn to Ternopil in Western Ukraine, which is 900 kilometres from the city of Kharkiv, via a tweet. "Ours was the worst-hit city, so getting out of Kharkiv was the main problem. All buses and trains were overbooked. We had no way of going anywhere and no one at the embassy was receiving our calls," said another Pakistani student, who had been stuck in the metro station without any arrangements for food or water.
After almost a day of staying put in the makeshift bomb shelter, a WhatsApp message on a South Asian students' group had alerted Ehtesham and friends that the airstrikes were soon to target civilian areas and that Kharkiv had been compromised. However, public transport was still unavailable and the embassy had now asked students to change their course to Lviv, a city near the Polish border, from where they were eventually going to be shuttled to Poland.
It was evident now that getting on a train would have to be by force. After eight hours of relentlessly trying, a few students including Ehtesham were able to push their way into a packed coach, that was several hours late and took another 18 hours to reach the destination.
While at the same time, students from other cities like Ternopil and Kyiv were also beginning to pour into the city of Lviv.
"In our correspondence, the embassy had told us that there would be buses ready for us in the city centre," shared Taimoor, who had escaped the Ukrainian capital amid what he described as "fire raining from the sky," and landed in Lviv. From there, he joined the other students, on a 35-kilometre trek to the border site, that took almost eight hours in extreme weather, without any food or water, as wartime sirens blared in the distance.
The chaos
According to Kainat, a student who'd covered some 128 kilometres coming from Ternopil to Lviv, and then over 35 kilometres on foot to the border region, the evacuation site was no different than a warzone.
"There were immense crowds and we couldn't locate anyone from the Pakistani embassy there to guide us, while the Ukrainian authorities were not letting us foreigners pass. All we could do was helplessly sit under the open sky for what seemed like an eternity until the day turned frigid, winds began to cut like glass and there was nothing to shield us from the weather," she informed, adding that the food handed to them by Ukrainians living close to the border had also run out during the wait.
The government, in the meanwhile, had already issued multiple claims of immediate evacuation assistance, when news of stranded Pakistani students began to flood social media spaces back home.
"There are immense difficulties at border crossing points due to huge number [of people] wanting to leave Ukraine. Embassy and Ministry is actively engaging Govt of Ukraine to expedite the process," read a tweet by the Pakistani Embassy in Ukraine.

Speaking to a state-owned broadcaster on the morning of February 27, Pakistan's Ambassador to the Ukraine Dr Noel Khokhar assured that over 125 Pakistani students had already been safely evacuated from the Ukrainian border post, while over 378 were still waiting to cross over and 30 in transit.
"We have so far covered 80 per cent of our evacuation from difficult zones, but there is congestion on the border post and we are trying to facilitate the students," he added.
In contrast, however, the students camped by the Polish borders alleged that they had received next to no help from their home embassy in getting here, and much of their evacuation efforts had been a test of self-endurance.
"In a matter of one night, we were told to pack our bags and traverse into uncertainty. All our essential documents including birth certificates and transcripts are still with our universities and we have no idea what the future would hold for us," expressed a student from Kharkiv National Medical University, speaking on behalf of his cohort.
Making it to safety
It was after another night of waiting that Pakistani students including, Ehtesham, Areej, Kainat and Taimoor, were able to offer their worried friends and family some clarity on their evacuation status. The border finally appeared to be open, and queues of people were seen to be moving ahead. A few hours later, the Pakistani Embassy announced that it had safely evacuated over 606 students to Poland from Ukraine.
"Our phones were constantly ringing and some of us were down to our last bar of battery. The thought of losing contact with family was frightening on both ends, but we were relieved to hear that we could all cross over to Poland, despite being among the last groups as Ukrainians were given priority," shared Kainat.

According to sources associated with evacuation services, however, the initial holdup at the border site had been created by Polish authorities, on suspicion that a group of Pakistani citizens who had initially crossed over was unaccounted for. "It then took some diplomatic efforts to convince Polish authorities to reopen their doors and let the remaining Pakistanis cross over," the source claimed.
After what had seemed like an eternity of navigating a warzone, the students could now see themselves a step closer to safety. Per the last updates received, Kainat was issued an exit stamp on her passport at 6:30 PM on Sunday, along with Ehtesham and other students fleeing Ukraine. They were then shuttled to Poland's capital of Warsaw for further evacuation to Pakistan.
At the time of this article's conclusion, all named Pakistani students had safely reached Warsaw, while the Pakistani government had announced chartering the national-flag carrier to bring the students home.
However, some students alleged that getting on the plane has been an uphill battle so far.
Responding to which, Pakistan International Airline's Head of Corporate Communications Abdullah Khan said that the Pakistan government has sought until March 1st to decide whether the plane would be required or not.
"A lot of students are still indecisive about heading home or waiting things out in Poland, while some have been citing permission issues from their university. However, we are ready to aid the students as and when needed," he told The Express Tribune.
Disclaimer: Despite several attempts to contact the Pakistani Embassy in Ukraine for their statement on the matter, no word has so far been received.

The civilizations of ancient Rome and Greece have played a vital part in shaping many modern societies and cultures. Fundamentally, the study of Latin and Classical Greek trains the mind, developing skills of critical thought, memory and close analysis, as well as an appreciation of the beauty and power of these languages and the cultures that produced them.
The Diploma Programme course in classical languages provides opportunities for students to explore the languages, literatures and cultures of ancient Rome and Greece. The course is designed to enable students to study classical languages in higher education, and also welcome those students who seek to develop an awareness and appreciation of the different perspectives of peoples from classical cultures through the study of texts in the original language.
Latin and Classical Greek are separate subjects in DP classical languages. They share the same syllabus outline and assessment model, and can be studied at standard level (SL) or higher level (HL). For a given language, SL and HL syllabus requirements share elements, including authors and options, as prescribed in the guide. The difference between SL and HL is reflected both in the breadth of study and in the level of knowledge and skills expected at assessment.

The winter 8000-meter teams are all arriving or are already acclimating towards their objectives. Remember this will be a long effort, especially on K2, with summits near the end of January at the earliest.
The other K2 team is lead by Alex Txikon is now traveling by bus from Kathmandu to Islamabad while his Spanish teammates will fly from Madrid.
He will be climbing with his long time friend and partner Felix Criado from Galicia, Spain and two additional teammates: Polish climbers Marek Klonowski and Paweł Dunaj. They will have a strong team of eight Sherpas with them in support including Nuri Sherpa, Chhepal Sherpa, Geljen Sherpa, Hallung Sherpa and Pasang Sherpa.
Daniele Nardi with British Thomas Ballard and two Pakistani team members Rehmatullah Baig and Karim Hayat are attempting a new route on Nanga Parbat. They reached Camp 1 on the mountain while the two Pakistani mountaineers had hoped to move up to Camp 2 but heavy snow has forced everyone back down to base camp.
American climber Lonnie Dupre, well known for his amazing attempts to summit Denali in true winter, left for Alaska yesterday for his winter attempt on nearby Mt. Hunter.
Antartica expert and veteran polar guide Eric Philips added a bit more on American Colin O'Brady's claim of a solo, unassisted, and unsupported 54-day Antarctic traverse. O'Brady pulled a 136Kg/300lb sledge from one coast to Antartica to the South Pole then to another costal point. The total journey was 1,487km/923 miles. He beat fellow racer, British Army Captain Lou Rudd by 2 days. Both extremely impressive.
However, the record part of his journey has come under scrutiny given he traveled on the McMurdo-South Pole Highway, or the South Pole Overland Traverse Road (SPOT), a flattened trail groomed by tractors towing heavy sledges carrying personnel and supplies from McMurdo Station to the South Pole making travel on groomed ice vs the uneven and often impossible sastrugi (wind built ice formations) easier, and faster.
To add further clarity to the discussion about Colin O'Brady's claim on the first solo, unsupported and unassisted crossing of Antarctica, I have made up this map of solo crossings to date with some supporting narrative.
Other factors also have a bearing on modern polar expeditioning such as the psychological benefit of satellite phones, accessible weather forecasting and sponsor obligations, and economic and logistic pressures that encourage people to choose routes that start and/or finish closer to logistics hubs.
The terms unsupported and unassisted are no longer adequate in themselves so I have refrained from using them as labels.
Kami Rita Sherpa at age 48 holds the record for most Everest summits at 22. He says he wants to continue climbing for the next 6 years. If he summits each year, that would put him at 28 Everest summits. source He used to work for foreign guide services but landed a lucrative contract with Seven Summits Treks to climb with them.
And finally the young Sherpa who lost both set of fingers to frostbite while guiding a Pakistani client, Col Abdul Jabbar Bhatti , on Everest in spring 2017 has returned to Nepal. In an ironic move, he has agreed to take a job with the very company, Seven Summits Treks, that sent him in harms ways, very unprepared according to Sange Sherpa himself. Sange spent most of the last year undergoing reconstructive surgery by world-class doctors in Vail, Colorado due to the generosity of mostly US donors to cover his living and medical expenses and reportedly none from SST or Col Abdul Jabbar Bhatti. Best wishes in his new career.


Yay! I just celebrated my birthday and made 2 red velvet cheesecake with white chocolate shavings.
I used Eric Lanlard's recipe which I found on youtube. Click the link below for the recipe. I doubled the cake batter to get a thicker cake. You can use any red velvet batter recipe, if you prefer with oil instead of butter or you can also use a cake mix from a box, I think this should work too. Whatever tickles your fancy!
← Happy Red Velvet Cheesecake!

Thank you @sarabareilles forgiving my daughters an anthem. She requested a specific haircut a few days ago, and now I want to match her :)

Dax Shepard is showing off his new hairstyle after he shaved half his head to match his daughter, who requested a very "specific haircut."
The Employee of the Month actor went above and beyond, playing Sara Bareilles while he did the deed. Dax noted that his daughters are both a fan of Bareilles' song "Armour" and thanked Sara for "giving [them] an anthem" that inspires them. Sara responded to Dax's shoutout, commenting: "This is the best best best. Thank you for being a kick ass dad for strong young women!"
Later, Dax revealed the final result of his brand new 'do...
Kristen Bell praised her husband's commitment to their girls. "I love this man so much," she wrote. "He wanted to twin with our daughter."
Bell explained that about a year ago, their oldest daughter, Lincoln, asked if she could cut her hair. "She just woke up one morning and was like, 'I need to shave this whole side right here,'" Bell said.
"I was like, 'I've never been, nor will I ever be, that cool to shave the side of my head,'" Bell continued. "She did it, and she rocks it and she loves it. And she even said, 'I need a little trim. It's getting long.' And I was like, 'Oh, you're just like a skater girl. That's so cool.'"

The other day as Chuck and I were talking, I exclaimed "Dang!" Well, wouldn't you know, our little parrot named Charlie immediately imitated it. Chuck started laughing at me, saying "Look what you just taught our child!". With classic timing, Charlie then exclaimed "Doh!". That was awesome, I hadn't realized he'd picked that one up from Chuck! He got us both!
Also, last week we attended a Christmas party at the home of some newly acquired friends from church. As about a dozen of us sat around the living room, Charlie decided to crawl on top of their coffee table and start dancing! As if that wasn't enough, his dancing turned from saying "Shake shake shake", shaking his booty, then he was "getting down" as we call it...Then he started spanking himself!!! I'd never seen him consider that a dance, usually he just does that to show me where his hiney is! We were telling him not to do it, but the roar of laughter in the room was enough to keep him going. It was so fun and so embarressing at the same time!
