Q: FindViewById returning null EditText I have common problem with findViewById() function, it returns null:
<EditText
    android:id="@+id/nameText"
/>

<Button
    android:text="Save"
    android:onClick="buttonClick1"
/>

</TableRow
    android:onClick="buttonClick1"
/>

Activity1.java:
public class Activity1 extends ActionBarActivity {

    public void buttonClick1(View view) {
        setContentView(view);
        EditText nameText = (EditText) view.findViewById(R.id.nameText);
        EditText lastNameText = (EditText) view.findViewById(R.id.lastNameText);
        EditText indexNumberText = (EditText) view.findViewById(R.id.indexNumberText);

        Log.d(">>>> ", nameText.getText().toString());
    }

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
            setContentView(R.layout.activity_activity1);
        }
    }
}

In buttonClick1() findViewById() returns null. Please explain why?

A: Remove setContentView(view); from buttonClick1 method
and initialise all your textview in this manner by removing view.
EditText nameText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.nameText);
    EditText lastNameText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.lastNameText);
    EditText indexNumberText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.indexNumberText);

Also initialize the controls in the xml properly by giving height and width to controls

A: Try to replace your code by this one :
  public class Activity1 extends ActionBarActivity {

    @
    Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_activity1);

        EditText nameText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.nameText);
        EditText lastNameText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.lastNameText);
        EditText indexNumberText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.indexNumberText);

    }
    public void buttonClick1(View view) {

        //Your stuff
        Log.d(">>>> ", nameText.getText().toString());

    }
}

Since now would be the normal code that have you tried, if you want to set a click on a button you'll have to declare it as :
Button button1 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);

Then you can do the :
public void buttonClick1(View v) {
    // Your stuff
}

EDIT
Make sure that you have on your XML all of your EditText and all of your Button for example :  or , also make sure that you have an android:id="@+id/yourID in all of your stuff..., by the way instead of using an onClick method in your XML for your Button, you could use this to use an OnClickListener
The point 1 to 3 should go inside of onCreate the point 4 should go outside of onCreate.
1.- Implements View.OnClickListener in your Activity1
public class Activity1 extends ActionBarActivity  implements View.OnClickListener {

2.- Declare it
Button button1 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);

3.- Do the setOnClickListener like this :
button1.setOnClickListener(this);

4.- Create an OnClick method :
    @Override
public void onClick(View view) {
    if (View.equals(button1))
        //Your stuff
}

A: Multiple problems unless you're not posting all your code.
1) In your XML you close a TableRow tag, but I don't see you opening it. Might just be lazy copy-pasting.
2) In your onCreate you seem to be missing a listener for your button. There is nothing to indicate that you have a button anywhere. You need to find the view of your button as follows:
Button button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.nameOfButton);

Then you need to set a listener for it like this:
        button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            //Here goes whatever should happen when you click the button.
        }
    });

3) As for your ButtonClick1 method, delete it. It looks like you were trying to create a listener, but it is pretty far from what it should look like.

WORLD CUP: US fends off Iran 1-0 to advance to knockout stage
The U.S. finished second in Group B with five points (1-0-2) to reach the knockout stage for the sixth time in 11 World Cup appearances.
Christian Pulisic of the U.S. scores the team's first and only goal Tuesday in a 1-0 win over Iran at the 2022 World Cup in Doha, Qatar.

By Field Level Media
DOHA, Qatar -- The United States stormed into the World Cup last 16 on Tuesday by beating Iran 1-0 at a cacophonous Al Thumama Stadium after Christian Pulisic bundled the ball home in a Group B showdown shrouded by decades of enmity between the two nations.
Pulisic's 38th minute goal proved enough for the Americans to advance at the expense of their geopolitical rivals in a rematch of their 1998 World Cup group stage meeting, which Iran had won 2-1 at a time when bilateral relations were hostile.
Sergino Dest headed the ball into the path of the sprinting Pulisic, who swept it into the net to momentarily silence the raucous Iranian supporters in front of him but he crashed into the outstretched Alireza Beiranvand in the process.
Pulisic was back on his feet after receiving treatment for a few minutes but did not look comfortable and he was replaced by Brenden Aaronson at the break after sustaining an abdominal injury, in a major blow for the Americans' knockout stage hopes.
U.S. coach Gregg Berhalter said the Chelsea forward was taken to hospital as a precaution. His team, who drew their first two games, will face three-times finalists Netherlands on Saturday for a place in the quarter-finals. Pulisic has 22 goals in 55 international appearances.

The Americans finished two points behind Group B winners England to reach the last 16 for the fifth time since 1994. Iran finished third with three points, with Wales bottom with one point.
"In the first half we showed what we can do, soccer wise. We had a really good first half. Second half we showed what we could do determination wise. The guys grinded, gave every single ounce and we are undefeated going into the next round," Berhalter said.
Berhalter's team, the second youngest at this year's finals, may lack experience on the big stage but they stepped up and delivered a commanding performance when their spot at the World Cup was on the line.
Knowing that only a win would keep them in the tournament, they pressed with high intensity from the first whistle and chances flowed thanks to their slick attacking style.
Tim Weah, who spurned two glorious opportunities before Pulisic put the Americans ahead, had the ball in the net late in the first half but his strike was ruled offside.
Iran only needed a point to advance but they were largely restricted to playing on the counter and unable to muster a credible attempt at scoring until the second half.
Substitute Saman Ghoddos, who replaced Sardar Azmoun at half time, almost pulled Iran level after meeting a superb cross from Ramin Rezaeian while Morteza Pouraliganji met a free-kick with a diving header that went just wide deep in stoppage time.
The build-up to Tuesday's match was overshadowed by more than four decades of sour relations between the two countries and the civil unrest that has gripped Iran since the September death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini in police custody.

Iran's players, pressured by protesters to side with them publicly and condemn a deadly state crackdown, declined to sing the national anthem in their opening match against England but sang before their victory over Wales and again on Tuesday, where they were loudly jeered by their supporters.
Relations between Washington and Tehran, who severed all formal diplomatic ties in 1980 after the Islamic Revolution, have worsened since 2018. The U.S. has imposed sanctions on Iranian officials over the crackdown on protesters.

McNeese Theatre Presents The Summoning of Everyman
Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on LinkedIn Share on Email
October 17, 2018 | McNeese Public Relations
McNeese State University's W.A. and Dorothy Hanna Department of Performing Arts opens the 79th McNeese Theatre season with the fall production of "The Summoning of Everyman" at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 24-27 and 2 p.m. Oct. 28 in Tritico Theatre.
Written by an unknown author in England during the 1400s, "The Summoning of Everyman" (commonly known as "Everyman") is a Medieval morality play. Like other plays of the era, "Everyman" uses allegorical characters representing abstract concepts like Good Deeds, Knowledge and Material Possessions to consider what humanity must do to attain salvation.
The play is the accounting of the life of Everyman, whose good and evil deeds are to be tallied by God after his death. While Everyman tries to convince other characters to accompany him to judgment in the hope of improving his standing, Everyman increasingly finds himself alone, despite all the personified characters that were supposed to be his support and friends. Who will stand with Everyman as he faces judgment day?
Charles McNeely, McNeese associate professor of theatre arts, will direct this classic play.
Cast members include P.Z. Stanford, Welsh; Supratik Regmi, Kathmandu, Nepal; Himshree Neupane, Nepal; Markell Jolivette, Opelousas; Jennifer Tolbert, Big Lake; Madeline Smith, Ruston; Sean Hinchee and Ariel Pete, Lake Charles; Hannah Jolivette, Iowa; and Essence Means, Fort Worth, Texas.
Michelle Brunson, Rosepine, will serve as technical, set and light director; Diane Rathbun, Lake Charles, as costume designer; Romm Silwal, Kathmandu, Nepal, as stage manager; and Madilyn Wright, Lake Charles, as backstage crew.
Ticket prices are $15 for adults, $10 for McNeese faculty/staff, senior citizens, teachers and youth, and free for McNeese students with a current ID. For tickets or more information, call 337-475-5040 or go online at www.mcneese.edu/performingartsboxoffice.

The 1997 Phoenix 200 was the fourth round of the 1996–1997 Indy Racing League. The race was held on March 23, 1997, at the  Phoenix International Raceway in Avondale, Arizona, and was won by the unheralded Jim Guthrie, who raced unsponsored, owing a big sum of money and having taken a second mortgage on his house. His win, beating IRL stalwart Tony Stewart after leading 74 laps, went down as one of the biggest upsets in the history of Indy car racing.

Report

Pre-Race
Shortly after the race at Walt Disney World Speedway, the significant injuries sustained by both Davy Jones and Eliseo Salazar in rear-first crashes raised some safety concerns. The Indy Racing League addressed them by mandating a seven-pound attenuator fixed behind the gearbox, to act as a 'crash-box' and better dissipate the energy in that area. On February 4–7, the week after the Copper World Classic, Goodyear kickstarted testing at Phoenix with 5 drivers. After running newcomer Jeff Ward at Orlando, Galles Racing sought a replacement for the injured Jones, and tried 1996 Formula 3000 runner-up Kenny Bräck, who had only run an oval in 1993 at New Hampshire during his Barber Saab Pro Series title run. After posting the fastest time of the week at 165.975 mph, the 30-year old Swede was signed for the rest of the season a few days later.

On February 18, Texas Motor Speedway held its first ever IRL test with Tony Stewart and Buddy Lazier, although the three-day program devised by Firestone was cut in half because of windy conditions and the threat of rain. From February 24–28, 24 drivers took part in the 'Test in the West' at Phoenix, with the only absences of Beck Motorsports, still without engines, and Chitwood Motorsports. Two drivers stood out over the rest, as Scott Sharp and Tony Stewart shared the lead over the five days, being the only drivers to go over the 170 mph mark. A. J. Foyt Enterprises had bought a G-Force chassis to evaluate it against the Dallara, and Sharp had the edge on it with a 170.777 mph lap. His teammate Davey Hamilton, finished 3.5 mph behind, although third overall, just in front of a surprising Jim Guthrie, while early favourite Arie Luyendyk and championship leader Mike Groff lagged behind.

Infiniti also had problems with its few drivers and engines, as Buddy Lazier, Groff and Jack Miller had engine issues throughout the week because of a faulty bearing application. Sam Schmidt, who had finished fourth in the U.S. F2000 in 1996, got to pass his rookie test in order to race the second Blueprint Racing car. Schmidt had planned to debut at Orlando, but it had been pushed to Phoenix due to the lack of testing and engine shortages. Team Menard, on the other hand, tested Billy Boat and Dave Blaney as contenders for their second seat, with Mark Dismore being out of the team. Both finished in the overall top 10, Boat being slightly faster, but neither would get the drive in the end. Also, the PDM Racing mule car was brought again for Darrin Miller and Pat Abold, both passing their rookie tests.

The entry list was unveiled on March 5 with 23 entries, including Danny Ongais, Robbie Buhl and the second Menard car, still unassigned. EuroInternational, with the legendary chief mechanic George Bignotti, also filled an entry for Phoenix resident Billy Roe, who attempted to race the previous year. One day later, Team Menard confirmed Robbie Buhl as their second driver, leaving Beck Motorsports without a driver. Further testing was conducted on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway the following week: Fermín Vélez drove for Goodyear, while Tony Stewart, who topped out at 216.080 mph, and John Paul Jr. did it for Firestone. In between those tests, Stan Wattles confirmed that Metro Racing Systems would become the second team to take on the Riley & Scott chassis, with a delivery date expected for July, and, on March 19, Team SABCO had a 300-mile test at Indianapolis with Robby Gordon, who was due to attempt the Double Duty in May.

Practice and qualifying
On race week, Chitwood Motorsports replaced Danny Ongais with Affonso Giaffone, supported by General Motors do Brasil, originally in a one-race deal. As in Orlando, Tony Stewart swept both practice sessions during the first day with a 165.983 mph lap in the morning, and a 164.865 mph lap in the afternoon. Jim Guthrie doubled down on his testing results and emerged as Stewart's main contender, being second in the morning and third in the afternoon behind Arie Luyendyk. Spaniard Fermín Vélez also surprised in the morning by posting the third fastest time, just before blowing an engine. Marco Greco and Scott Sharp had engine problems in the morning too, while Roberto Guerrero and Giaffone crashed in the afternoon. Guerrero's crashed was triggered by another engine failure, which brought concerns on the Oldsmobile camp regarding a potential oil link issue in their engines. Despite also entering a couple of Dallaras, Foyt decided to run the G-Force chassis for both of his drivers.

On Saturday, Stewart led the last practice session over Guthrie (0.021s off) and Luyendyk with a 167.973 mph lap, and asserted his dominance on qualifying, putting his car on pole with a 170.012 mph lap. Guthrie was the last driver scheduled to qualify and, despite running the fastest first lap, he came up short at 169.484 mph, comfortably qualifying in a career-best second place. Despite the IRL cars being 15 mph off 1996's speeds, Guthrie qualified 6 mph faster than the previous year, when he qualified 18th. He likened his efforts as "the David and Goliath story", as he was competing unsponsored, with an engine that had run 640 miles and had been rebuilt three times, as they could not afford a new one. Guthrie owed $185,000 to his creditors, having bought his chassis by taking out a loan against his house for a second time. His team, of which Guthrie was co-owner, arrived at the track with a rental flatbed trailer and a race crew composed of volunteers. 4 mph off Stewart, Treadway Racing swept the second row with Scott Goodyear and Luyendyk, in front of Buzz Calkins and Robbie Buhl, the early leaders before Stewart's run.

In his first IRL qualifying, Sam Schmidt put his car in a solid seventh place, while Kenny Bräck and Billy Roe managed 10th and 18th, respectively. Roberto Guerrero was the fastest Infiniti qualifier in 11th place after getting his car fixed in time, unlike Affonso Giaffone, who was not able to qualify. In a similar note, Scott Sharp had put his car in second place during the morning practice when his engine caught fire, with a spare not being ready in time for qualifying. Both were be allowed to start the race at the back of the field. Coincidentally, Marco Greco was able to qualify thanks to an engine previously loaned by A. J. Foyt Enterprises, achieving his first top-10 qualifying result. Sharp's teammate, Davey Hamilton, could only qualify in 15th place, not coming to grips with his new chassis, just behind Buddy Lazier, while championship leader Mike Groff was mired in 17th place. John Paul Jr. qualified 12th despite waving off his first lap for a suspected timing chain failure, and Stéphan Grégoire qualified last after losing a gear. During afternoon's final practice, Buzz Calkins had an oil leak and crashed in Turn 4, which forced his team to opt for a back-up car, forfeiting his 5th place on the grid. For the first time in series' history, all the drivers that took part in the practice sessions would start the race.

Race
The Phoenix event resulted in a slow, attrition-filled race, as 83 of the 200 laps were run under nine caution periods. It became the second slowest Indy car race ever held at Phoenix, with an average speed of just 89.19 mph, just under 3 mph faster than the 1967 Jimmy Bryan Memorial, and slower than any NASCAR Cup Series race ever held at the track since their debut in 1988. At 2 hours and 14 minutes, it ran 45 minutes longer than the 1986 Circle K/Fiesta Bowl 200, which had the average speed record at 134.676 mph, and it is also the longest of all Indy car races at Phoenix. Six of the nine caution periods were caused by engine failures and oil spills, five from the Oldsmobile engines, which suffered a dozen failures overall throughout the weekend. It wasn't until after the event that the brand identified the issue as an oil line fitting that wasn't suitable in the plumbing system of the new IRL chassis. Despite that, the race was won by Jim Guthrie, who ended the day with 860 miles of running in its engine.

From his front-row position, Guthrie tried to jump Tony Stewart going side by side on the outside, but the pole-sitter held on into Turn 1, while Scott Goodyear lost a couple places. Starting 10th, Roberto Guerrero suffered a battery failure and was unable to get going. He tried to get up to speed, but he had to pull into the apron on Lap 2, bringing out the caution. He was able to take the restart on Lap 7, albeit five laps down. Guthrie tried again on the restart in a similar manner, this time on the inside, to no avail, having to defend himself from Arie Luyendyk. In that restart, John Paul Jr. climbed up to 4th after gaining four spots, having already passed three cars at the start. On Lap 12, Luyendyk lost an engine that had been mounted just the day before, triggering the second caution of the day. At the restart on Lap 19, Paul Jr. passed Guthrie for second, but he didn't have enough rhythm to go after Stewart, and Guthrie reclaimed the spot three laps later, keeping himself within 3–4 seconds of Stewart.

During this stint, Affonso Giaffone was the biggest mover: from Lap 25 to 35, he moved up eight positions, up to 6th place. After some good laps, being as high as 7th, Buddy Lazier slowly faded and had to retire on Lap 33 while running 9th, due to an engine failure. Extensive oil spilling on the track and pit entry brought up a 10-lap caution. As the leaders headed to the pits to make their first stop, Guthrie had the lapped car of Roberto Guerrero on the inside, and had to swerve up the track, missing the pits. He was serviced a lap later, dropping several places. During his stop, John Paul Jr. suffered an electrical issue that made him lose several laps, leaving Scott Goodyear and Robbie Buhl as Stewart's main contenders. Meanwhile, Giaffone, Eddie Cheever (7th before the caution period), Kenny Bräck (10th) and Scott Sharp (11th) stayed on track, and led the field to the restart on Lap 45. By that point, 12 drivers were on the lead lap.

On the restart, Stewart passed Sharp, and both were able to put Bräck behind on that lap. The three of them quickly caught up to Cheever, and passed him on Lap 51 when he run high on Turn 3 due to a misfire. Guthrie, meanwhile, had passed four cars on track. On Lap 52, Scott Goodyear lost his engine on the exit of Turn 1 while running sixth. Marco Greco spun on the oil and Buhl, who had been passed by the Brazilian on the restart, was slightly hit by Sam Schmidt when he braked trying to avoid the accident. Just behind them, Jeret Schroeder lost control of the car and crashed into the outside wall. He was transported by ambulance with a mild concussion and a shoulder abrasion. Out of all the drivers involved, only Greco, who stayed in 7th place, and Schmidt (a lap down) continued. During the caution, Affonso Giaffone and Kenny Bräck made their pit stops, handing the lead to Stewart, but Giaffone would stop again on Lap 61 after he spun on the grass during the restart. As the green flag waved, Scott Sharp took advantage of Stewart's cold tires and grabbed the lead, only for his engine to blow up four laps later. He was able to pull into the paddock by an access road located after Turn 1, and there was no caution for it, but it came out two laps later when John Paul Jr. slowed on the backstretch.

With only six drivers on the lead lap, Eddie Cheever elected to make his first pit stop, restarting behind Stewart, Guthrie, Greco, Davey Hamilton, highly benefitted by the retirements, and Bräck on Lap 76. The Swede, in his debut Indy car race, soon emerged as a serious contender and quickly put himself in third place (Hamilton also passed Greco), although he lost 10 seconds to Stewart and Guthrie. Another debutant, Billy Roe, started losing oil on Lap 82 while running 11th, but he was not aware of the smoke nor the black flags, and crashed heavily on Lap 85, entering Turn 3. During a long caution, Stewart chose to make a pit stop, while Guthrie's crew was pushing for a Lap 120 stop, providing there was another caution on that period, to try and jump Stewart. After the restart on Lap 99, Guthrie pulled an 11-second lead over Kenny Bräck, while Stewart climbed to third by Lap 112. Five laps later, Giaffone, a lap down in 7th place, pulled to the side of the track with a half-shaft problem, and brought a vital caution for Guthrie's odds, whose strategy was to go flat-out until the end, hoping that a couple more caution periods allowed him to make it without a pit stop. Stewart topped off a lap later than Guthrie, and emerged in front of him, but his team was planning for a late splash-and-go. A lengthy clean-up ensued, on which Eddie Cheever retired with an oil pressure issue, after repeatedly trying to pass Marco Greco.

A first attempt at a restart on Lap 129 was aborted by the officials for an additional track inspection when the front of the field, led by lapped cars, was already on Turn 3. The Pace Car driven by Johnny Rutherford had started to pull into the pit lane, before swerving back onto the left side of the track at the last minute. Unaware of the situation, Mike Groff, John Paul Jr. and Roberto Guerrero all sprinted past Rutherford before being told to slow down. New race leader Kenny Bräck, who was due to make his second pit-stop, also passed the Pace Car briefly on the frontstretch, but the situation was quickly rearranged without any penalties. On Lap 133, the race was restarted, with Hamilton and Stewart passing Greco simultaneously on the outside of Turn 3, but Hamilton would be passed by Stewart in the same fashion two laps later, after being blocked by Groff. By Lap 140, Guthrie also got past Hamilton, and joined Stewart in pursuing Bräck. All three drivers were a second apart of each other when, on Lap 146, Bräck run slightly high into the oil dry in Turn 3, spun by himself and crashed in Turn 3. Stewart pitted for a splash of fuel and some tyre pressure changes just before the Lap 155 restart, and quickly passed Greco (who had also pitted), but he faced a crowded traffic situation afterwards, and his rhythm was not a match for Guthrie, who consistently lapped over 160 mph in a 26-lap green flag run, the longest of the day.

By Lap 178, Stewart was 15 seconds behind Guthrie, and 4 seconds behind Hamilton, while Greco had gone a lap down. 20 laps from the end, Sam Schmidt was trying to hunt down Stéphan Grégoire for fifth place when he lost the right-rear tyre entering Turn 3, right in front of Davey Hamilton. The rear-first crash pounded a significant hole in the concrete wall that had to be heftily fixed with a metal plate, while Schmidt was transported by ambulance with mid-back pain, although uninjured. Having complained of handling issues in the previous laps, and aiming to run down Guthrie after the restart, Stewart pitted twice under the caution, the first one for drastic changes in his rear wing, and the second one for fuel and 'option', grippier tires, briefly stalling the engine afterwards. Guthrie stayed out, looking to stretch his fuel. At the last restart with 9 laps to go, Stewart got going behind the lapped cars of Marco Greco and Roberto Guerrero, which he passed in the following lap. Aiming for the win, Stewart passed Hamilton on the outside of Turn 3 with five laps to go, and was gaining on Guthrie at a half second per lap, but he ran out of time, and Guthrie held on by less than a second.

Just like Arie Luyendyk six years before, Guthrie won with an unsponsored car, and the $170,100 payoff helped in partially settling his debts. This would be Guthrie's one-and-only podium finish of his Indy car career. A month later, the team announced a year-long sponsorship agreement with Jacuzzi, which on paper assured him of a proper effort for the Indianapolis 500 with new engines and a back-up. For the fifth race in a row, the Indy Racing League had produced a first-time Indy car winner, an unprecedented feat in post-war Indy car history. After Stewart, Davey Hamilton got his first podium finish in Indy car racing and jumped to second in the standings, while Marco Greco (fourth top 10 finish in four races) and Stéphan Grégoire had their first top-5 finish ever. Mike Groff, who run a cautious race and was down to 18th place at one point, lost four laps after he was shown a black flag on Lap 138, as his car was smoking while leading a restart as a lapped car, but the high attrition allowed him to end sixth, a lap in front of Roberto Guerrero, and to keep the championship lead. With barely any setup in his back-up car, Buzz Calkins was not a factor during the race, ending 8th just by finishing the race, just like John Paul Jr.

Stalking Tiger (Welcome Deck 2017) Artist Proof
There are 58 cards in this artist proof edition. White-backed artist proof cards are printed by Wizards of the Coast and are exclusively issued to the artist. The front of the card is identical to a regular Magic card and the back of the card is white/unprinted. The quantities issued to the artist changed through the years, see the product descriptions for more information.
Stalking Tiger (Welcome Deck 2017) Artist Proof quantity
In the early years of Magic, random quantities of AP's were issued to the artists. In later editions, the average amount was 50 for non-foil and 30 for foil. The aforementioned numbers were not always precise but close to that.
After several years of creating Magic art, Terese began signing and numbering the artist proofs. Again, the early sets were not numbered.
All AP's do come signed. Most of the AP's are signed with a black Sharpie. There is an occasional exception to that as a few of the AP's remaining from very early editions were signed with a silver pen. Foil artist proofs are signed and numbered in gold.
Terese's signature has evolved through the 20+ years that she started signing. If you are collecting some of her older cards that were signed at that time you will notice the evolution of a block-style signature to her current more fluid, circular signature.
Modern Masters was the first set wherein Terese was issued foil artist proofs.
Keep in mind some of the oldest cards have been around for a couple of decades and the white-back is not a sparkly, brilliant, white anymore.
With many of the sets, Terese signed the cards when she received them, so specific pen-colors and signature requests are not possible.
If you don't see a card in the store that Terese had in a particular set, then it is sold out. Artist proof cards from 2018-2020 will be added soon.
Set: Welcome Deck 2017
Card Type: Creature – Cat
Card Text: Stalking Tiger can't be blocked by more than one creature.
Flavor Text: In the Jamuraan jungles, there is often no separating beauty from danger.

Does anyone have a clue how they decide what is a disease and what is a disorder? I am quite vexed as how some things are called disorders and some diseases. I don't understand how alcoholism is a disease caused by a willful action, but Bipolar is a disorder. I do not mean to offend anyone with these questions. You don't become anorexic until you start sticking your finger down your throat. Someone inherits a tremor from a family member it is called a disorder, no action was taken to set it into motion it just happened. Does anyone out there know and if so is it explainable? I would appreciate any insight.

Religious Life in an American Prison
By Joshua Dubler
Farrar, Straus and Giroux
In his classic work The Varieties of Religious Experience, William James muses that religion starts with "the feelings, acts, and experiences of individual men in their solitude." So, what better place to study religion than in the chapel of a maximum security prison?
Joshua Dubler, an assistant professor of religion at the University of Rochester, does just that in his new book, Down in the Chapel, a detailed account of the encounters and conversations Dubler has over a single week with the inmates, guards, and chaplains at Graterford Prison, a maximum-security facility about 30 miles northwest of Philadelphia.
Passing through the chapel are Catholics, Jews, Protestants, Christian Scientists, Seventh-day Adventists, Jehovah's Witnesses, Native American religionists, and members of a variety of Muslim groups, including black nationalist movements like the Nation of Islam, Muhammad's Temple, and the Moorish Science Temple.
Dubler avoids offering any grand theories to explain the religious experience of the American convict. For the most part, he simply records what he sees and hears. Nothing too extraordinary happens. The least readable parts of the book are those in which the professor lapses into the obsessively nuanced jargon of an astute religion scholar. One sentence, for example, begins, "In its materialist metaphysics, its normative liberalism, and in its haughty universalism."
Life in an American prison can be scary, funny, challenging, and boring, and so is the experience of reading Down in the Chapel.

Q: Adding dataframe and text in ppt using python-pptx in slide layout 3 I have created ppt using the below code:
prs = Presentation()

class MySlide:
    def __init__(self, data):
        self.layout = prs.slide_layouts[data[2]]
        self.slide=prs.slides.add_slide(self.layout)
        self.title=self.slide.shapes.title
        self.title.text=data[0]
        self.subtitle=self.slide.placeholders[1]
        self.subtitle.text=data[1]

slides = [
    ["USA Weather",       #data[0]
     "Subtitle(Bullet)",
     3],
    ["Malaysia Weather",       #data[0]
     "Content(Bullet)",
     3],
    ["China Weather",       #data[0]
     "This is a brown Fox",
     3]
]

for each_slide in slides:
    MySlide(each_slide)

Now I am trying to add dataframe/image and descriptive text to above slides. I am not sure I understand how I am supposed to do it.
Previously I had tried the below code:
list_of_datasets = [df1, df2, df3]
list_of_slides = [slide[0], slide[1], slide[2]]

for i, j in zip(list_of_datasets, list_of_slides):
    df_to_table(j, i)

But the above code puts table in complete slide which is not what I need. if someone can point to relevant documentation that should also be good for me since I did not understand the existing documentation regarding the same on: https://python-pptx.readthedocs.io/en/latest/dev/analysis/sld-layout.html
How to write data in different slide layouts using python-pptx?

A: Put an image called for ex. "girl.png" in the directory to see this code working
from pptx import Presentation
import os

prs = Presentation()

class MySlide:
    def __init__(self, data):
        self.layout = prs.slide_layouts[data[3]]
        self.slide=prs.slides.add_slide(self.layout)
        self.title=self.slide.shapes.title
        self.title.text=data[0]
        self.subtitle=self.slide.placeholders[1]
        self.subtitle.text=data[1]
        if data[2] != "":
            self.slide.placeholders[2].insert_picture(data[2])

slides = [
    ["USA Weather",       #data[0]
     "Subtitle(Bullet)",
     "girl.png",
     3],
    ["Malaysia Weather",       #data[0]
     "Content(Bullet)",
     "",
     3],
    ["China Weather",       #data[0]
     "This is a brown Fox",
     "",
     3]
]

MySpace has unveiled "MyAds," an advertising technology focused on small businesses and individuals rather than the huge brand advertisers that the News Corp.-owned social network is best known for. It's a platform in which an advertiser can allocate exactly how much to spend--between $25 ad $10,000--and target its audience using the HyperTargeting system that MySpace debuted just under a year ago.
With HyperTargeting, MySpace says that there are more than 1,100 specific ways to target an ad based on geography, demographics, interests, and other information sourced from public profile data. Advertisers can then keep tabs on performance through online analytics.
MyAds is currently restricted to MySpace in the U.S., where it has about 76 million members.
The "self-service" model is similar to what Facebook has done with its own ad platform--create an ad, choose how much to spend, select a target audience. But MySpace has a more obvious clientele in mind: bands. The MyAds homepage explicitly recommends the service for band promotion, something that gets very close to MySpace's roots as an independent music hub.
Promotional campaigns for bands, films, and other indie creative projects may have a more natural home on MySpace than Facebook, where the focus is less about media and more about communication.

Q: HTML5 Audio playback stops at 33 minutes on iOS I'm using the standard HTML audio tag to play an mp3 file on a webpage. The file is a podcast so it's up to an hour long. Playback is absolutely fine until 33 minutes in. Then it stops, and nothing but a page refresh will get it to start playing again.
So far the problem is only happening on iOS, both Safari and Chrome. Desktop browsers work fine. The files are coming from an Amazon Cloudfront instance so they arrive pretty quick.
At first I thought this may be a connection issue, but I've found that it persists on both 3G and wi-fi connections. I haven't experienced any other issues at all with loading the audio and playing it back, only that it stops at 33 minutes regardless of file size, or time length.
Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Title: Sport As a Key Partner in the "Big Four's Reign" in the Western World?
Author: Earle F. Zeigler, Ph.D.
Note: This statement is made for the consideration of those scholars who concern themselves with the so-called social science of sport, as well as with sport philosophy. It is at heart more of a brief exploration of the advantages and disadvantages of sport and developmental physical activity for present life. I state boldly first as a given that sport has obviously become an extremely powerful social force in society. If we grant that it now has such power in our culture–a power indeed that appears to be growing steadily–we can also recognize that any such social force affecting society can be dangerous if perverted (e.g., positive nationalism to blind chauvinism,; normal commercialism to excessive commercialism; wholesome sport competition to "own-the-podium mentality). Assuming the rationale behind these assertions, I believe that, while sport has grown as an important social force, it now also appears to have become a societal institution with an inadequately defined theory.

Lacrosse was one of many indigenous stickball games played by American Indians at the time of European contact. Almost exclusively a male team sport, it is distinguished from the others, such as field hockey and shinny, by the use of a netted racquet to pick up the ball, throw, catch and shoot it into a goal to score a point. The cardinal rule in all varieties of lacrosse was that the ball, with few exceptions, must not be touched with the hands.
Based on the type of goal and stick-handling techniques, it is possible to discern three basic forms of lacrosse – Southeastern, Great Lakes, and Northeastern. Among Southeastern tribes (Cherokee, Choctaw, Chickasaw, Creek, Seminole and Yuchi), a double-stick version is still practiced. A two-and-a half foot stick is held in each hand and the soft, small deerskin ball is retrieved and cupped between them. Great Lakes tribes (Ojibwe, Menominee, Potawatomi, Sauk, Fox, Miami, Winnebago and Santee Dakota) used a single three-foot stick. This type of stick terminates in a round, closed pocket about three to four inches in diameter, scarcely larger than the ball, which was usually made of wood, charred and scraped to shape. The Northeastern stick, used among Iroquoian and New England tribes, is the progenitor of all present-day sticks, both in box as well as field lacrosse.

the schools really don't teach children about the Revolution against Great Britain anymore. Maybe, they don't want to, or are not allowed to give them any ideas about freedom and rights.
and that they chose to use Kyle's goofiness in the paper... I'd say some writer or editor, or both, is rather a prohibitionist at heart.People say goofy things all the time, and that was on up there, but they could have resisted immortalizing it in print.And Mr. Mehr surely will learn that, sometimes, it is better to just say nothing at all... even if given the opportunity.

The Pandemic Is Poisoning Body Image (Forbes)
By James Greenblatt, MD January 26, 2022 February 18th, 2022 No Comments
The Pandemic Is Poisoning Body Image: It's Time To Find The Antidote
Article originally written by Sarah Berger for Forbes.com. Article snippet and preview below.
It's tough to think of a time when people were as hyper-aware of their bodies as they are now. The COVID-19 pandemic ignited an unparalleled vigilance in how people approach their health—examining every cough, sore throat and muscle ache, concerned the culprit could be COVID.
Simultaneously, people are facing unprecedented isolation and drastic disruption of their daily routines and sense of normalcy. The lack of control over nearly every aspect of pandemic life—be it school and office reopenings, mask mandates or canceled events—has put many people in a fragile state, both physically and mentally.
"People deal with stress and uncertainty in different ways," says James Greenblatt, M.D., a psychiatrist, chief medical officer at Walden Behavioral Care in Waltham, Massachusetts and author of Answers to Anorexia.
"Having spent so much time in isolation due to lockdowns and remote work, many people may be turning more attention than usual to their bodies, what they eat and their overall level of physical health," he says. "For some, this is beneficial. For others, an intensified focus on body image may become problematic in the sense that it may (potentially) open the door to such things as body dysmorphia and unhealthy eating behaviors."
According to the Forbes Health-Ipsos survey, 60% of people say their body image has not changed since the start of the pandemic. However, of those who did say it changed, 27% said they became more concerned about their body image compared to just 13% who said they became less concerned. Additionally, 26% said they feel more negatively about their body image since before the onset of the pandemic while only 15% said they feel more positively today. In both cases, the number of those who were negatively impacted or faced increased concern was roughly double of those who were not.
Beyond negative body image, the pandemic even exacerbated the extent of eating disorders among people who already reported having one.
"Studies have shown an overall increased incidence of eating disorders and obesity during the pandemic—a trend that is a result of school and work closures and resulting sedentary lifestyle, as well as the rise of depression, anxiety and mental health problems over this time period," says Adrienne Youdim, M.D., an internist who specializes in medical weight loss and clinical nutrition and a 2022 Forbes Health Advisory Board member. "Not to mention stress, which in itself is associated with a shift in hunger hormones, promoting greater hunger and weight gain."
Indeed, a new study in the International Journal of Eating Disorders examined the early impact the pandemic had on people with self-reported eating disorders in the U.S. and the Netherlands. The study found participants with anorexia nervosa (an eating disorder characterized by an abnormally low body weight and intense fear over gaining weight) reported increased restriction and fears about finding food consistent with their meal plan. Meanwhile, those with bulimia nervosa (another type of eating disorder characterized by a cycle of binging and compensatory behavior to prevent weight gain) and binge-eating disorders reported increases in their binge-eating episodes and desire to binge. Additionally, the study found many participants experienced increased anxiety over the pandemic's impact on their mental and physical health.
"This reality we all now find ourselves in—the 'new abnormal'—full of stresses, uncertainties, traumas, fears, grief, disruptions to normal rhythms of eating and sleeping…in this environment, there is more potential for such factors to tip the scales of mental health away from balanced equilibrium and toward a disease state, particularly if an individual has certain genetic predispositions or vulnerabilities," says Dr. Greenblatt.

Education Work
The Coast Project has had an excellent response from two schools in the catchment area of Hendon, Grangetown and Ryhope who are keen to help with the project's conservation and educational aims. St Paul's CE Primary in Ryhope are currently working on a long-term project involving the restoration of a locally extinct butterfly, while Valley Road Academy in Hendon are working on promoting awareness of our existing rarities with an art project.
Miss A. Wadge and her Year 4 class from St Paul's are attempting to bring back to the area one of our iconic butterfly's, the Northern Brown Argus, known locally as the Durham Argus butterfly. This butterfly was once found on the Ryhope cliff tops, but sadly, it has not been recorded for some time now. Year 4 have successfully been growing Rock Rose plants from seeds; Rock Rose is the food plant of the Durham Argus Caterpillar.
The Coast Ranger will also be taking cuttings from existing plants and Year 4 will take care of them until they are ready to be planted out. The children have already planted out some Rock Rose on the cliff tops above Ryhope Village Dene, they also planted Wild Thyme, which is another favourite food plant of the Durham Argus Butterfly. We have received great support with this project, as the plants were kindly donated by our friends from the National Trust, and the residents closest to Ryhope Village Dene have allowed watering cans to be filled to keep the newly planted Rock Rose hydrated. This project will hopefully be rolled out along the whole of the North-east coastline, with support from the Butterfly Conservation.
Friday 8th November was the official launch of the two new chairs at the top of Hendon Promenade.
The Coast Project had commissioned the chairs to replace the old, damaged [but well-loved] seat that had stood on the cliff top for years. Local artist Colin Wilbourn designed and built the seats with input from the children of Valley Road School. Colin has used materials that have meaning to the location, so the seats are made from steel piling, which are still used for sea defence at Hendon Beach. The Valley Road children created the sea life designs carefully etched into the front of the seats by Colin. On the back of the seats, the Coast Project's 'Purple Sandpiper' logo is represented, as well as the Special Area of Conservation (SAC) and Special Protection Area (SPA) site designations.
Councillor Michael Mordey agreed to come out and cut the ribbon alongside the children. Despite the weather being cold, wet and windy, the launch went ahead with enthusiasm, especially from the proud children.
Thank you to David Allan for the photographs (link to his page below), to Colin Wilbourn for the artwork now gifted to Hendon, and to the Valley Road children for making a positive mark on the site for decades to come.

A Second Life: Peter Goolkasian PhG '32
Peter Aharon Goolkasian, PhG '32, was only five when his family was caught up in the ethnic purges against Armenian citizens by the Turkish army at the outset of World War I. After the adult men in his village were rounded up and taken away, never to be seen again, Goolkasian's three young brothers, two sisters, mother, and grandmother were driven into the Syrian Desert along with many other women and children.
By the end of the war two years later, all the members of the family except for Peter, his mother, and his older sister Anahid, had perished due to starvation, disease, and the harsh conditions of the desert. Mother, son, and daughter were rescued by the Armenian church, who helped them from Aleppo to France.
Desperate to find some traces of her extended family, Peter's mother added a note to an America-bound bundle of letters from another survivor, hoping to reach her few remaining relatives. Thanks to the tight bonds of the Armenian-American community, her long-shot message was successful, and three months later Peter, Anahid, and their mother journeyed to Worcester, Massachusetts, to reunite with their extended family. According to a profile in the Foxboro Reporter published in July of 1986, the reunion was delayed for several hours when Peter stopped to gaze at a statue in downtown Worcester and became separated from his mother. To his recollection, he became very lost and scared before being aided by a friendly police officer, who bought him his first-ever ice cream cone and helped him locate his family.
The family settled in Charlestown, Massachusetts, where Peter was able to enroll in school and begin the arduous process of catching up on all the education he had missed, all while learning English (he already spoke Turkish, Arabic, Kurdish, and some French). Peter's uncle Bagdasar "Baxter" Goolkasian, PhG '16, who owned a pharmacy, gave the teenaged Peter his first job; perhaps because of this experience, Peter chose the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy after graduating from high school. It became a family tradition that would stretch far into the future. Not only did Peter become a pharmacist, but so did his stepbrothers A. Richard and George; his cousin Charles; his step-sister Alice and her husband Richard; his niece Donna and nephew Ara; and his wife, Isabelle, whom he met while enrolled at then-MCP. The Goolkasian family, in fact, became so synonymous with Massachusetts College of Pharmacy that A. Richard Goolkasian, BSP '45, worked as the acting editor of the alumni magazine, the Bulletin, for many years.
For Peter, pharmacy was just one of many ways he found to exercise his scientific imagination; over the years, he pursued interests in chemistry and electronics, developing and patenting several inventions including "tooth-ease pads", birthday candles whose wicks burned in a variety of colored flames, a pulse monitor for surgical use, and (long before the invention of the tape recorder) an audio recording device housed in a Coca-Cola box for use by his young daughter, Dianne, as she learned to play the piano. (Eventually, Dianne evolved into a world-renowned composer whose works, both playful and tender, show Armenian musical influence.)
Peter Goolkasian embraced the American experience, taking full advantage of every opportunity to pursue his talents and dreams, while encouraging his family to pursue theirs. The Foxboro Reporter's 1986 profile ends on a hopeful note, as the survivor reflects on his successful second life in America: "I have a great feeling for America and the freedom it offers," Goolkasian said to reporter Jack Authelet. "When you get interested in any subject, whatever it is, you can follow it. That is a great thing."
