SC bans production, sale and use of endsosulfan for 8 weeks
The Supreme Court today issued an order banning the production, sale and use of the deadly pesticide endosulfan in the country for eight weeks.
Pronouncing the order, a three-judge bench of Chief Justice SH Kapadia, Justice KS Radhakrishnan and Justice Swatanter Kumar held that human lives are precious and other considerations are subservient to that.
The bench also ordered two separate studies on the pesticide's ill effects on humans, to be completed in eight weeks' time.
"Keeping in mind various judgments of this court under Article 21 of the Constitution and particularly keeping in mind the precautionary principle, we, hereby, direct and pass ad-interim order for immediate ban on production and use of endosulfan all over India," the SC said.
The SC order also directs the government and statutory authorities to freeze the licences granted to manufacturers of the controversial pesticide till further orders.
Two committees, one headed by the director-general of the Indian Council Medical Research (ICMR) and the other by the agricultural commissioner, will undertake separate studies on the pesticide's ill effects on human life and the environment.

Q: For R a ring, if $x^n=x$ for all x∈R then R is commutative I came across the following Theorem on a paper I'm reading:
"If $R$ is a ring and $x^n=x$ for all $x\in R$ then $R$ is commutative"
However I have no idea of how to prove it. May I get some hints?

A simple and healthy side, this sweet potato and apple mash is bound to appear on everyone's dinner table. It's light, creamy textured, savory, and it works very well next to a good steak or fish.
Heat a saucepan over medium heat, and fill about half of it with water. Add a pinch of salt.
Add the diced sweet potato and cook it for 10 minutes.
Separately, heat a skillet over medium heat, add the butter and melt it. Add the chopped onion and apple. Pour the apple cider vinegar. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
Cook it until the liquid reduces.
Place the sweet potatoes in a tall glass container. Add the apple mix. Set up your immersion blender and blend everything into a smooth mash.

"Hmm, really? I haven't met her yet.." Fuko said. "I have Tia, she's really pretty, especially her hair *o*"
I hope we all can become friends.
Fuko put back on her headphones, lowered the volume of the music. "Anyway~ Have you met anyone in this academy yet, other than me and Misa? ^.^"
" Haha, I've met Miko!" she squealed.
"Hmm? Miko.. Yep, I've met her before ^^" Fuko then looked out of the window, giving quick glances at Euphoria as she spoke. "You know, you should go around the academy, I know it's big, but you'll meet new friends!" Slightly opening the window, "Plus there's ALOT of shops where you can spend trinkets. OH! Also there's other places inside the academy other than classes, like Hot springs or swimming pools! There's even more outside the academy."
"That's sounds awesome!", she says.
"I've only been to the store."
"Eh?" Fuko tilted her head. "Which store?"
"Um, I think it was a clothes store." she replied.
"I've never went to Mexico though."
She takes her first two steps into the female dormitory, taking in her surroundings. At first a confused look struck her face, but soon after she clenched her fists in excitement, she brings her head back up with a large grin on her face. "Tidy!, look at this place! Its blimmin massive! Well, i can't stay here moping around-daze!~" She quickly walks down the corridor and notices a young girl accompanied by another girl. "Yo! I bet ya are both students here, eh?" She leans close to the both of them. "Blimmin heck, mun! Its nice to meet ya! Tokei Shikake at your service-daze!~" She says, leaning back and saluting with a cheerful grin.
"Eh? Who are you- OHOO~!" Fuko didn't recognise the girl before her, so she assumed she was new, and then pointed at Tokei. "You must be new here!"
"Proper right, you are! And who might you be?" She questions. Looking at her from head to toe. "Heck, mun! Your pretty young-daze!"
"Pretty young.." Fuko mumbled, then moved to a shout. "I AM NOT PRETTY YOUNG, I'M PRETTY AVERAGE!" She started to wave her arms up and down, she was obviously offended.
"Well, whatever ya say-daze..." She says, scratching the back of her head and grinning.
" .. Pretty young? Who you think I am.." Fuko pouted, and started to mutter quietly to herself. She looked at Tokei. "I'm Fuko Kimoe.. Aged 11."
"Pretty tidy name ya got there! Nice to meet ya fuko-daze!" she says, putting a thumbs up.
"THIS IS CRAZY.", she yells.
"CAN WE GO EAT SOMETHING. I'M STARVING."
Fuko felt a bit happy now because of Takei's enthusiasm. "Yeah.. Nice to meet you~! " Then she looked at Euphoria. "Hmm.. I don't think we should leave a new student on her own.. AHA!" Fuko clasped her hands. "Since Euphoria's hungry, how about you come with us to the Sunlit Cafe?"
She grins joyfully. "Sure! Why not, sounds like a tidy idea-daze!"
"Yaaay~" Fuko cheered, and then she posed. "TO DA SUNLIT CAFEEEE~!" She shouted, and started running.
As shes about to run after fuko, she looks at the other girl. "Come on, mun!" she says, grinning.
Euphoria wakes up into the real world.
"U-uh sorry! I was just dreaming about food." she says.
"Right!" she begins to run after fuko.
Rena walked out of her dorm and into the hallway. No one was around. No one at all. "Where is everyone?" She groaned to herself, completely out of the loop.

The effectiveness and quality of the product are guaranteed by a low-temperature and vacuum extraction method, which makes it possible to preserve all the active ingredients and nutrients of the plant. The possible presence of resins and essential oils on the surface and/or of sediments on the bottom are a sign of high product quality. Indeed, they make up the insoluble fractions of the phytocomplex. For this reason, it is advisable to shake the product before use.

WEPLAY Music ist ein deutsches Musiklabel aus Köln, das seit Juli 2008 Musik und Künstler aus dem Bereich elektronische Musik vermarktet und betreut. Bekanntester Künstler des Labels war von 2014 bis 2017 Robin Schulz.

Geschichte

Der Medienunternehmer Elmar Braun, ist Gründer und Geschäftsführer der WePlay Music And Management GmbH & Co. KG.

Erster Vertragsabschluss nach der Gründung war Bob Sinclar & Axwell feat. RON CARROL "What A Wonderful World", an dem WEPLAY die Rechte für den DACH-Raum erlangen konnte, es folgte der erste Vertrag mit Kohlbecker & Eilmes und dem Song Tabasco.

Kurz darauf konnte WEPLAY eine Partnerschaft mit den Labels Axtone von Axwell, Size von Steve Angello und Refune von Sebastian Ingrosso schließen. Danach kam es zum Zusammenschluss dieser drei schwedischen DJS und Produzenten zum Projekt Swedish House Mafia. 2009 wurde Leave the World Behind veröffentlicht, die erste gemeinsame Produktion drei DJ's, allerdings noch nicht unter dem Namen Swedish House Mafia.

Es folgten Verträge mit Norman Doray, Stafford Brothers, Tommy Trash, Laidback Luke und DBN.

2013 nahm WEPLAY das französische Duo Faul & Wad Ad unter Vertrag und veröffentlichte mit Changes einen Dance-Hit. In Deutschland stieg die Single von 0 auf Platz eins der Singlecharts und erhielt eine Goldene Schallplatte für 150.000 verkaufte Exemplare. In vielen anderen europäischen Länder erlangte der Song Top 10 Platzierungen. Changes war eine der ersten kommerziell erfolgreichen Deephouse-Titel des neu ins Leben gerufenen Sublabel TONSPIEL.

Ein paar Monate später nahm WEPLAY mit Robin Schulz einen DJ unter Vertrag, der gerade den Hit Waves von Mr Probz geremixed hatte. Lillie Wood & The Prick veröffentlichte Prayer in C mit WEPLAY Music und Zusammenarbeit mit der Warner Music Group. Das Ergebnis wurde erneut ein Nummer 1 Hit in den deutschen Singlecharts. Nicht nur in Europa wurde Prayer In C zum Nummer 1 Hit im Sommer 2014 (u. a. Platz eins in Deutschland, Österreich, Schweiz, Großbritannien), sondern auch im Ausland. In Amerika eroberte der Track zwar nicht Platz eins, wurde aber trotzdem eine der wenigen deutschen Nummern, die es hoch in die Charts schafften – auf Platz 23 der offiziellen Billboard-Charts 2014. Bis heute ist Prayer In C als Robin Schulz Remix der im Ausland erfolgreichste Track, der jemals in Deutschland produziert wurde. In Deutschland konnte der Song sich insgesamt fünf Wochen an der Chartspitze, 17 Wochen in den Top 10 und 59 Wochen in den Charts platzieren. Im April 2020 erhielt Prayer in C (Robin Schulz Remix) eine Diamantene Schallplatte für über eine Million verkaufte Exemplare in Deutschland, damit zählt das Stück zu einer der meistverkauften Singles des Landes.

Es folgte im Sommer 2014 ein weltweiter Joint Venture Deal mit der Warner Music Group. Fortan wurden Künstler wie Robin Schulz (mit weiteren Hits wie Sugar, Show Me Love, Sun Goes Down), Hugel, DJ Katch und viele mehr in Zusammenarbeit Warner Music veröffentlicht. WEPLAY fungierte bei Robin Schulz von Beginn seiner Karriere nicht nur als Label, sondern auch als Management.

Im Frühjahr 2017 verließen Dabruck und Klein das Label und machten sich selbstständig. Die neue Firma betreut seitdem Robin Schulz im Management. Über WEPLAY als Label wurde dann das dritte Album Uncovered veröffentlicht, danach wechselte Robin Schulz zu Warner Music. Die letzten gemeinsamen Erfolge waren die Singles Shed a Light (mit David Guetta & Cheat Codes, Veröffentlichung 25.11.2016), OK (mit James Blunt, Veröffentlichung 19.5.2017), I Believe I'm Fine (mit Hugel, Veröffentlichung 8.9.2017) und Unforgettable (Veröffentlichung 22.12.2017), die allesamt Goldstatus in mehreren Ländern inklusive Deutschland erreichten.

In der Folgezeit wurden Veröffentlichungen von Acts wie Teddy Cream, Calmani&Grey, Darius&Finlay, Avaro oder auch den Disco Boys zu Club-Erfolgen.

Seit 2017 fungiert als Head Of A&R Mikio Gruschinske, der seit den späten neunziger Jahren tief in der internationalen Dance-Szene verwurzelt ist, nicht zuletzt als Teil des DJ-Duos Plastik Funk.

Mit Michael Moor holte Geschäftsführer und alleiniger Inhaber Elmar Braun einen neuen General Manager, der seit 2019 das Tagesgeschäft von WEPLAY führt. Mit HauteCouture Records installierte WEPLAY in 2019 ein Hiphop/Deutschrap Label im Vertrieb der Universal Music Group.

Die Labels WEPLAY und TONSPIEL werden seit Ende des Joint Ventures mit Warner Music über Kontor New Media vertrieben.

Should Egypt reclaim Cleopatra's Needle be reclaimed from Central Park?
More coverage of the statements made by Egypt about reclaiming Cleopatra's Needle, an ancient obelisk, from New York's Central Park, due to allegations of negligence. Note that, although the obelisk is part of a pair (with the other in London), the claim only relates to the one in New York at present.
Egypt Threatens to Reclaim Cleopatra's Needle From Central Park, Citing Negligence
CAIRO— Zahi Hawass, the ubiquitous, media-savvy Egyptian antiquities director whose blockbuster King Tut exhibition just finished its United States tour over the weekend, cannot be accused of resting on his laurels. After having convinced the Metropolitan Museum of Art to return 19 small artifacts that he said were taken illegally from Egypt, he's now turning his sights to bigger game in the museum's backyard — Cleopatra's Needle, the 3,500-year-old obelisk that resides next to the Met in Central Park, and which Hawass now accuses the Parks Department of failing to properly maintain.
Despite its moniker, the obelisk was not built under the famous Egyptian queen's reign, but by her predecessor of a century and a half, Thutmose III, around 1450 B.C. Its provenance is not in question — the Egyptian Khedive (or viceroy) first suggested giving it as a gift to New York City in 1869 in honor of the completion of the Suez Canal and the resulting trade relationship between the U.S. and Egypt. The gift became official in 1877, after William Vanderbilt promised the tens of thousands of dollars necessary for transporting the obelisk, and it was erected near the newly-established museum in 1881. But Hawass claims that the city has allowed the monument's hieroglyphics to deteriorate, LiveScience reported.
Egypt threatens to take back obelisk from New York
In a story that has parallels with the Axum Obelisk in Rome, Egypt has threatened to demand the return of Cleopatra's Needle in Central Park, New York, Because it feels that the obelisk is not being properly looked after there.
Egypt threatens to take back New York obelisk
By Kristina Cooke – Sun Jan 9, 5:21 am ET
NEW YORK (Reuters) – The Egyptian government official charged with protecting his country's ancient monuments is threatening to take back an iconic obelisk in Central Park unless New York City takes steps to restore it.
The stone obelisk "has been severely weathered over the past century" with no effort made to conserve it, Zahi Hawass, secretary general for Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities, wrote in a letter this week to New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg.

Q: Seasonal Decomposition of Time Series by Loess with Python I'm trying to do with Python what I the STL function on R.
The R commands are
fit <- stl(elecequip, s.window=5)
plot(fit)

How do I do this in Python? I investigated that statmodels.tsa has some time series analysis functions but I could specifically found "Seasonal Decomposition of Time Series by Loess" in the documentation. Similarly on Python.org there is a library called timeseries 0.5.0, but this doesn't have documentation and it's home site looks down. I know that there is an option with rpy2 using a wrapper, but I don't know how to use the wrapper.
Thanks.

A: I've been having a similar issue and am trying to find the best path forward.
Here is a github repo for an STL decomposition based on the Loess procedure.  It is based on the original fortran code that was available with this paper.  It is really just a python wrapper around the original Fortran code, so you know its likely works well and isn't buggy.
If you want something more Python centric and are willing to go with a slightly simpler decomposition routine, StatsModels has one:
Try moving your data into a Pandas DataFrame and then call StatsModels tsa.seasonal_decompose.  See the following example:
import statsmodels.api as sm

dta = sm.datasets.co2.load_pandas().data
# deal with missing values. see issue
dta.co2.interpolate(inplace=True)

res = sm.tsa.seasonal_decompose(dta.co2)
resplot = res.plot()

You can then recover the individual components of the decomposition from:
res.resid
res.seasonal
res.trend

I hope this helps!

A: You can also call R from python using rpy2
from rpy2.robjects import r
def decompose(series, frequency, s_window, **kwargs):
    df = pd.DataFrame()
    df['date'] = series.index
    s = [x for x in series.values]
    length = len(series)
    s = r.ts(s, frequency=frequency)
    decomposed = [x for x in r.stl(s, s_window, **kwargs).rx2('time.series')]
    df['observed'] = series.values
    df['trend'] = decomposed[length:2*length]
    df['seasonal'] = decomposed[0:length]
    df['residual'] = decomposed[2*length:3*length]
    return df

The above function assumes that your series has a datetime index.  It returns a dataframe with the individual components that you can then graph with your favorite graphing library.
You can pass the parameters for stl seen here, but change any period to underscore, for example the positional argument in the above function is s_window, but in the above link it is s.window.  Also, I found some of the above code on this repository.

A: Another python option is the seasonal package (PyPI, github). It is similar to the StatsModels seasonal_decompose and will also estimate your data's periodicity.

VOA Interviews Balkan Presidents on Kosovo
Washington, D.C., September 26, 2008 - Kosovan President Fatmir Sejdiu, in an interview today with the Voice of America (VOA), said he continues to lobby his Balkan neighbors to officially recognize his country's independence from Serbia.
In separate interviews with VOA, Bosnian President Haris Silajdžić and Albanian President Bamir Topi said they support Kosovo's independence and are opposed to Serbia's request that the International Court of Justice issue an opinion on the legitimacy of Kosovo's independence.
But Montenegrin President Filip Vujanović told VOA, "Since the debate on Serbia's initiative is scheduled for the first part of October, I do not see the need to express my country's position." He said his country sought good relations with both Serbia and Kosovo, and recognition of Kosovo would come "at the appropriate time."
Kosovo's Sejdiu said he hoped the Balkan states, Macedonia and Montenegro, in particular, would back Kosovo, which has the recognition of 47 countries, including the United States. Serbia viewed Kosovo's February 2008 declaration of independence as an act of secession.
"This would be very important for us, as it would complete the cycle of recognition from the neighboring countries, with the exception of Serbia, and would be a very positive signal for the countries that are far away from Kosovo," Sejdiu said.
Earlier this week VOA interviewed Serbian President Boris Tadić. All of the interviews were featured in newscasts reaching the Balkan nations and can be viewed by selecting the appropriate language on VOA's main website at www.VOANews.com.

On 10 August 2011, the Kalamazoo County Road Commission hosted a presentation on Traffic Laws by Sgt. James Campbell, an expert in Traffic Crash Reconstruction with the Michigan State Police. Paul Selden, KBC Director of Road Safety, followed up with Sgt. Campbell. His well thought-out answers to Paul's questions may be important to some of you someday, so they are provided here as helpful advice. This information is for general educational purposes only and is not intended to replace the counsel of an attorney or any other professional whose service may be required in the situations discussed below.
A: If there is an actual crash and someone is injured there needs to be a report per MVC 257.617 (stop and ID and report). If there is no contact but the vehicle causes a crash with injury the same applies and the vehicle is still required to report. This vehicle would be listed as a "non-contact" unit on the report.
Q: What if no actual injury occurs, but a bicyclist believes the motorist engaged in a deliberate act that otherwise could have hurt someone?
A: If the vehicle violates a traffic law but is not seen by a police officer – in your case it most likely would have to be "careless" 257.626b (likely to endanger person or property), the citation would have to be written with a "witness" as the complainant and that person would have to come to court and testify.
Q: In the case of such careless driving (or "road rage"), what would be required in order to make a complaint with some hope of justice? Does it help if more than just one rider saw what happened?
A: A careless ticket is written to a driver (not owner) so there would need to be some ability to identify the suspected driver. The citation would require – time / date / location / vehicle information (plate, color, make and model) and a way to identify the driver. Witnesses always help because in court it will be you vs them.
Q: When should a report be filed?
A: The complaint should be made ASAP so that if the vehicle can be located if possible.

Covid-19: Dubai to temporarily suspend metro and tram services
27 March 2020	(Last Updated March 27th, 2020 15:14)
The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) of Dubai has decided to suspend metro, tram and marine transport services to carry out a disinfection drive to limit the spread of the coronavirus (Covid-19).
During the National Sterilisation Programme period, RTA public transit services will continue to operate from 7am to 7pm according the regular schedule. Credit: IwonaCastiellod'Antonio on Unsplash.
Sign up here for GlobalData's free bi-weekly Covid-19 report on the latest information your industry needs to know.
The move is part of the UAE's National Sterilisation Programme rolled out by the Ministry of Health and Prevention and the Ministry of Interior.
The disinfection drive will be conducted between 8pm and 6am from Thursday to Sunday morning.
The final round of sterilisation operations is slated to conclude at 6:00am on Sunday 29 March.
All public transit means will continue to operate from 7am to 7pm during this period, according to their regular schedules, RTA said.
The government has asked residents to not leave their homes except to purchase food, basic essentials and medicines.
People can avail taxis services via Careem and Uber Apps. However, these platforms will offer rides only to hospitals.
During the sterilisation programme period, the medical service will be restricted to those serving pre-specified vital sectors.
The government will continue to operate public buses during the overnight sterilisation period on 13 routes.
RTA has called on public transit passengers to cooperate with supervisors deployed at stations, metro and tram carriages, as well as drivers of public buses and taxis.
The passengers have also been requested to use personal protective equipment while using public transport and when in public.

Thunderstorms bring a Holyrood awakening
September 20, 2014 wansteadmeteo	1 Comment
It was just before 3am that I was awoken by faint rumblings outside. I knew there was a risk of thunder before I'd retired to bed a few hours earlier but I'd discounted the risk along with any thoughts of staying up to watch the referendum results unfold in Scotland.
This radar shot shows the storm just beginning to hit Wanstead. The rain was far heavier to our east. 17.2mm was reported at Laindon, Essex. An observer at Woodford Wells recorded 19.9mm her in about 25 minutes 0310-0335 bst
Lightning then illuminated the room through the gaps in the curtains followed by more rumblings: it'll pass, I thought. Crash – I grabbed my phone – was this an isolated event? The radar showed a line of slow moving storms moving up from the south. More lightning and loud thunder. My Twitter feed told me it wasn't going too well for those wanting independence. At this point intensely bright lightning was rapidly followed by one of the loudest claps of thunder I've heard around 3.10am. Car alarms were set off – may as well get up I thought… The Inverclyde result was announced – 'No', by the narrowest of margins 50.1% to 49.9%. That's it then, I thought. The lightning and thunder gradually began to fade away with hopes of an independent Scotland, on this night anyway. I glanced at my stats which seemed far less impressive than what was recorded elsewhere: 7.7mm, no big fall in temperature or pressure like previous storms during the summer.
Just a few hours later I walked my younger daughter into school, my bleary eyes struggling to focus – the humid and steamy atmosphere felt more like July than September. Indeed Thursday had been the warmest September 18th since 1997 which, strangely, was the same year that another momentous British event took place: the handover of Hong Kong to China. I remarked to a couple of parents that the only thing that had changed overnight was that Andy Murray will forever be the "Scottish" tennis player after his comment on Twitter.
The forecast advised that there was a continued threat of thunderstorms. It was humid but it didn't 'feel' stormy – though around 2.30pm I could hear the beginning of faint rumblings in the distance.
Clouds above could be seen developing rapidly at 2.30pm
I left for work on my scooter at 3pm, carefully watching the sky for any developments all of which seemed to be in the distance. After stopping for petrol in Leytonstone High Road huge drops of rain began splattering the pavement. They were few and far between, however, and the sun defiantly continued to shine. After riding past Stratford I suddenly became aware that the buildings in the distance, past Bow flyover, were gradually beginning to disappear. I pulled in to a turning where Gala Bingo is situated. An electronic noticeboard enquired: "Do you feel lucky?" Not today I thought and retrieved my overtrousers that live under the seat, hastily pulling them on as I watched the impending storm begin to close in.
I continued on and was soon enveloped in the full force of another thunderstorm. Marble-sized hail clattered off my crash helmet while dangerous gusts, caused by wind funneling through the new high rise flats by the Olympic Park, did their best to push me off. Just as I crossed the canal a sheet of rain engulfed me and the drivers to my right. The road in front suddenly turned into a shallow river. I usually ride over the flyover – not today with the torrent of water cascading off the sides.
The 3.15pm storm that flooded large parts of East London. The white area shows where the heaviest rain was
By the time I reached Mile End the rain had almost stopped. The City looked fairly dry and on reaching London Bridge the roads were completely dry. The Friday crowds were out in force in Borough Market, enjoying the sunshine and seemingly oblivious to the chaos unfolding just a few miles away in East London. Within 10 minutes of walking into my office Alex Salmond announced his resignation. Another storm: another momentous event! It was another of those coincidental storms that, in my mind, seem to mark momentous events such as the Royal birth last July
I checked the stats of the storm back in Wanstead: 24.5mm fell with a peak rate of 76.5mm/hr at 15.47. The storm ended a run of 16 dry days bringing the total for the month up to 33mm – the 24hr total was 30.5mm. The explosive convection of this storm can be seen here. The associated hail and rain brought much flooding to Hackney, Hackney Wick and Leytonstone. This storm seemed to be the result of a convergence line over London between light southerlies to the south and easterlies to the north – the heavy rain was very localised.
Flooding images can be seen on the following links at Dalston, Wanstead Flats, Leytonstone Station, Wick Road. A short clip of flooding at Wick Road can be seen here.
The flooding wasn't restricted to East London. In Southend water started pouring through the roof of the Dixons theatre though it failed to stop the performance. Shops in London Road were inundated.

June deluge that created Redbridge-on-Sea
June 18, 2014 wansteadmeteo	8 Comments
It was the summer when the 'sea' came to Redbridge. A record-breaking 59-hour deluge in the middle of June 1903 left vast swaths of the borough inundated. But this was no thundery downpour. All across London and the South East record rainfall rates and totals were set, many of which still stand well over a century later.
The author of this postcard wrote the following:
"Just sending you a few postcards to let you see what a plight we have been in Ilford. This view is the River Roding from the bridge. This was a large green field now it is like a large river but glad to say it has subsided a little of course. You will have read it in the papers I have sent you."
Images of the flooding were captured by Watson Hornby, an amateur photographer and artist, who traded at 7 Cranbrook Road, Ilford. This terrace of houses in Wanstead Park Road, which backs on to the River Roding, were also flooded out. The postcard was written on July 1st, 1903
According to one local historian the fields between Wanstead Park and Ilford – as far as Uphall Road – were like an open sea and the railway track at Seven Kings resembled a shallow river.
After a dry start to the month June quickly went downhill with notable falls of rain during the second week. The main deluge arrived around noon on Saturday, June 13, and lasted until near midnight on the 15th.
The rain was caused by a depression that moved slowly across southern England, becoming stationary over the English Channel close to the Isle of Wight for 24 hours before moving north-east. It introduced a very cool NE'ly airflow – the temperature on the 14th and 15th failed to climb above 11C and on the 19th a high of just 9.2C was recorded as yet more rain fell.
Across the London area there were five days within the period 10th to 19th June when over 25mm of rain was measured in many places. The deluge added to what became the wettest summer month on record. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, just over 154mm fell, three times the amount of what normally falls in June in this area. Further west, Kew Observatory recorded 184mm.
The June 1903 flood at Empress Avenue at the junction of Wanstead Park Road
The 1903 rains produced an unprecedented summer flood on the Thames. At Teddington 7335 million gallons (33,374 million litres) of water flowed over the weir on June 21st. Elsewhere the Lea Valley was one vast lake, especially around Enfield, with the Royal Gunpowder Factory inundated.
The Friday, June 19th edition of the Essex County Chronicle abounds with other tales of woe from the floods…
Barking and District: In the large area of low-lying ground between Lea Bridge, Ilford, Barking, and East Ham, houses stood in a great inland sea, which was washing over the garden fences and lapping at the lower windows. Upstairs the occupants could be seen moving about or gazing hopelessly out at the dreary waste of black waters. Boats from Barking Creek were rowing about with supplies of milk and bread, and those who wished were taken away. All along the Barking Road from East Ham scenes almost identical were witnessed, but, happily with the end of the rain, the water did not retain its level long. Past Barking and on to Rainham the roads on Tuesday were quite impassable, much of the heavy traffic which goes through Rainham towards Barking having to turn back.
The floodwaters between Wanstead Park and Ilford were described as a vast inland sea
Woodford and Wanstead: The inhabitants of Claybury Asylum and Woodford Bridge were cut off by 3ft of water from Woodford. The whole of the Roding Valley was in a deplorable state; sheds, trees and stock that was once alive floating in all directions. Wanstead was divided from Ilford by a great lake, but happily the total of loss in property was here very small.
Lea Bridge: The Leyton marshes were covered by one great sheet of water, Lea Bridge Road itself being quite 2ft under. Boats were to be seen plying among the tramcars.
Epping: The valleys were well-nigh impassable, especially at Thornwood and parts of Theydon Bois.
Romford: The floods reached to Romford High Street, and made the thoroughfare impassable for pedestrians. The crisis caused a heated exchange among members at a meeting of the Urban Council on Monday evening where it was agreed to allow the free use of the town fire engine for pumping water from ratepayers' premises, provided that those who required its services paid for the labour. Cllr J. Bassett thought the residents should make their own arrangements for getting rid of the water. Cllr J.R Holliday replied: "You don't live near the river. I should like to stick you in the middle of it. I think it is the duty of the council to protect property."
Laindon: Here the height of the deluge was experienced between seven and eight o'clock on Sunday evening. The rain descended in apparent ropes of water, causing consternation, flooding houses, choking drains and water-troughing, cutting deep channels in roads, washing up plants and new potatoes. On Monday the water was between 3 and 4ft feet deep at Noak Hill and other bridges.
Woodford: An exciting scene took place at Woodford Bridge, where a steam circus, with its owners, was in the most precarious position. Men and women were submerged up to their armpits while extricating the caravans.
Away from the South East the weather was much dryer. Felixstowe and Yarmouth newspapers reported that Sunday had seen "delightfully sunny weather, with cool north-easterly breezes". Lincoln, meanwhile, recorded less than an inch of rain for the whole month!
Could these rains happen again? Meteorologically, given the same synoptic set-up, it is possible. In terms of the June monthly total of rain we came close in 1997 when 133mm fell – though this was much more evenly spread throughout the month. And thanks to massive investment in local river systems since the 1950s the flooding nightmares brought by the Lea and Roding rivers should stay firmly in the past.

Situated in the exquisite Chiado department, one of the most famous and renowned old quarters of Lisboa, the Brasileira of Chiado, is one of the most historical and legendary cafeteria of the Portuguesa capital.
Founded in November 1905 by Adriano Telles, that had important trading contacts in Brazil, which allowed him to import the most diversified exotic products at a good price, "Brasileira" sold the "Genuine Brazil coffee", changing forever a truly Portuguese habit: the "bica", an espresso that nowadays is almost mandatory on every Portuguese lifestyle.
The "Brasileira" with its Brazilian products and the wise promotion that was made got more famous, and in 1908 opens the first Coffee Room, a novelty in Lisboa, becoming a place of election of the town's intellectual elite.
As from 1920 Brasileira becomes even more famous, frequented by such cultural important names as Fernando Pessoa, Almada Negreiros, Eduardo Viana, Bernardo Marques, Stuart Carvalhais or Jorge Barradas.
In the famous and very pleasant esplanade is situated the highlight of the "Brasileira": the bronze sculpture representing one of the most notable frequenter of the cafeteria - the writer Fernando Pessoa - seating, appreciating his espresso. A notable work of art of Lagoa Henriques.

Best video streaming service for Fantasy Fans
What is the best streaming video service for a fantasy fan? With the arrival of so many video on demand companies, it is difficult to know which of them will be the best one for us. Choosing which streaming service fits best your liking is getting more and more complicated isn't it? It's not even only a matter of money, even though being charged monthly fees for enjoying several of these services can be a bit expensive, but also, these companies provide so much content that it gets difficult to know what to watch!
Video on demand is winning the match to over-the-air programming method. There is no wonder why, users prefer being able to watch movies and tv shows whenever you want (as long as you have enough bandwidth to watch it) instead of a scheduled broadcast time.
The best streaming video service for a fantasy fan
Let`s focus on Fantasy fans now. Lots of tv series are based on fantasy books, after the success of Game of Thrones, the amount of Fantasy tv series is increasing like crazy. Which of these streaming video services will have more appealing shows for a fantasy fan? Let's see:
Amazon is included in Amazon Prime, so for 99 dollars per year, you get unlimited access to both Amazon Music and Amazon Prime Instant Video, besides to free two-day shipping on your purchases and a free Kindle book each month. This service has a wide content selection, but what about fantasy? Let's see what can Amazon provide to Fantasy lovers:
An adaptation of the novel of the same name by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. Good Omens tells the story of the angel Aziraphael and the demon Crowley, longtime friends who will try to prevent to prevent the destruction of the Earth during the Armaggedon, the final battle between hell and heaven.
Upcoming Amazon tv series
A tv series set in the world of Lord of the Rings but taking place in the Second Age, the era when the Rings of Power are forged and Sauron rises. This web series has the biggest budget ever in the history of television, so stay tuned because it will be huge!
An epic fantasy story based on the book series written by Robert Jordan (and finished by Brandon Sanderson). Given that The Wheel of Time is composed of 14 books, there is a lot of material for this tv series.
Another version of the story written by Robert E. Howard. Given that Jason Momoa's Conan film didn't do so well maybe this series can serve as a good alternative.
Netflix is the most popular streaming video service, having more than 150 million subscribers worldwide, it has a great optimized interface, good recommendation services. On the other side, titles come and go frequently and it's a bit expensive compared to other options. This platform offers massive content, having an amazing selection of tv shows, films and also original programming. In terms of fantasy, Netflix has the following fantasy tv series:
Shadow Hunters
A fantasy drama television series following the story of Clary Fray (Katherine McNamara) and based on popular book series The Mortal Instruments written by Cassandra Clare. This tv series was canceled after three seasons, but the story was concluded with two additional episodes.
Based on Diana Gabaldon's book series of the same name. This historical romance tv series already has four seasons with 55 episodes and the fifth season is set to premiere in 2020.
The Last Kingdom is a historical fiction television series and is an adaptation of The Saxon Stories by Bernard Cornwell. This historical fiction tv series premiered on BBC but then Netflix was the sole producer of the third season.
A drama tv series based on The Sword of Shannara trilogy by Terry Brooks. The Shannara Chronicles was canceled after two seasons
Also, the following tv series are coming to Netflix in 2019
A tv series based on the novels of the same name written by the Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski. The Witcher will star Henry Cavill as Geralt of Rivia. If you want to know more about the upcoming The Witcher series check this post.
This series is a prequel of the film The Dark Crystal which was released in 1982 and was directed by Louis Leterrier.
Chronicles of Narnia Series
A tv series based on the books by C.S Lewis. A reboot of this saga that didn't do as well as expected at the theatres.
Hulu is a cheaper alternative As a counterpart, even with a paid subscription, you have to watch commercials. Funnily, in march 2019 Walt Disney acquired 21st Century Fox and has the 67% of the equity of the company, that is, Disney controls now Hulu. As a result, Hulu will be used as a streaming brand for general entertainment nonrelated to Disney Studios.
The interesting thing about Hulu is its potential: by controlling Hulu now Disney owns the rights of lots of new material such as the movie rights of Percy Jackson. See what this could mean?
Vampire Chronicles
A story based on the novel series of the same name written by Anne Rice that follows the story of Lestat de Lioncourt, a French nobleman that turns into a vampire.
Queen of Shadows
A show that was supposedly produced by Hulu (no news since 2016) and is based on Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas.
HBO is more than Game of Thrones. Not only it has some of the most epic series of all time such as The Wire or The Sopranos. The following upcoming fantasy tv series will get your attention for sure.
A reboot of this story written by Philip Pullman that flopped in the theatres, and now is coming as a tv series. Let's hope it goes better this time!
Game of Thrones prequel
This tv series is set in the same scenario as Game of Thrones but it will take place thousands of years before the events in Game of Thrones. This means dragons will rule the skies of Westeros!
So, it looks like Amazon Video and Netflix are the ones with the most upcoming fantasy tv series. Which video streaming service will you choose?
The Wheel of Time tv series
The Witcher Netflix 2019

I am really looking forward to the Witcher series. A bit worried with some of the cast choices but I believe we have to keep it real since it's a challenge to bring the game characters to life.
Also interested in the LotR series but still not convinced enough to make a subrscription.
Would also love if you can share info about the upcoming Disney streaming service and the Marvel universe series broadcasted there.

Curious to see how the new Disney streaming will impact the content on Netflix and Hulu. Also what the Disney service will be streaming fantasy and hero wise.


The landscape of Argyll was shaped by blackface hill farming for much of the 20th century. However 17 years into the 21st century its traces, and the people who remember working on the hills, are disappearing fast.
In order to boost order Ardkinglas as a stalking estate, sheep were taken off Glen Fyne in the early 1900s. Niall Duke of Argyll walked from Dalmally over into the head of Glen Fyne in 1905. He was given oatcakes and milk by a Mrs MacPhee, wife of the shepherd there. He writes that at the time the last of the sheep were being taken off the hill.
And so began the confrontation of deer versus sheep.
When Sir Andrew bought Ardkinglas Estate, Archie MacIntyre was a shepherd at Inverhorachan in Glen Fyne, He was moved down to Clachan and in 1914 was on his forlorn way from the mart at Stirling having sold the last of his flock. He composed this poem.....open link to document.
There were few if any sheep on the hills of Cairndow from1914 until 1929 or 1930. In 1931 100 hoggs were put onto the Newton hirsel in Glen Fyne, Archie MacCallum's son Duncan went to live at Mark Park as shepherd. Five years later there were 600 head of sheep there.
During the 1939 – 1945 war, with Britain's food supply lines threatened at sea, home production was subsidised - this continued into the post war years and hill farm subsidies increased.
The 1950s probably saw the greatest number of shepherds here, there were some fifteen shepherds, and presumably the greatest numbers of sheep too. The wool price even for blackface was so good that shepherds were expected to pull the wool off months old corpses of sheep carcasses which had been smothered by snow.
The story was the wool was sold to Italy for matresses.
Ardkinglas Estate was devided in 1966 becoming Ardkinglas and Carindow Esates, the latter continued with hill sheep to a greater extent than Ardkinglas.
Now all sheep are farmed by the Jackson family from Pole farm, Lochgoilhead.
At Here We Are we are fortunate to still have two or three men (now in their seventies) who have been shepherds here all their lives and their fathers and uncles before them. We want to capture their knowledge before its gone.

Q: how to define facet axis limits in ggpairs function Having a ggpairs function, how would one limit range of lower facets to e.g. 0.5 for x and y?
library(GGally)

xy <- data.frame(matrix(runif(4 * 1000), ncol = 4))

ggpairs(xy)

A: You need to define a function which plots (one facet). You can go wild with ggplot in here. See this similar question.
limitRange <- function(data, mapping, ...) {
  ggplot(data = data, mapping = mapping, ...) +
    geom_point(...) +
    geom_smooth(method = "lm", se = FALSE) +
    scale_y_continuous(limits = c(0, 0.5)) +
    scale_x_continuous(limits = c(0, 0.5))
}

# This is how you specify which part of the image will be
# plotted using your function.
ggpairs(xy, lower = list(continuous = limitRange))

   array('soap_version' => SOAP_1_2, 'cache_wsdl' => WSDL_CACHE_NONE)
);
$this->client->__soapCall("GetEmployees", ['token']);

But I get Error:
Cannot process the message because the content type 'application/soap+xml; charset=utf-8; action="http://tempuri.org/IEmployeeService/GetEmployees"' was not the expected type 'text/xml; charset=utf-8'.

So I change version to SOAP_1_1, but then I get error:

looks like we got no XML document

Do I have to change something next? Or what is the problem?
Thanks

I think I am going to get into the habit of writing news posts after I've had some sleep! Starting with this one!
[EDIT] OH YEAH, I WAS GOING TO DO THIS. I was actually waiting until I had some store-type news to share, but that's going to be a bit longer. Mostly because I still need to find a venue to sell things. I also need to figure out shipping! Maybe I will have something for Tuesday (just in time for the postal service to shut down).

Complexity. It underlies many social issues in Australia. It's why community dynamics sometimes suddenly shift, funding opportunities open or close, government policy changes, and community leaders emerge. It's behind the many twists and turns that minimise the effectiveness of traditional programs and services dealing with complex social issues. And it's why there's growing momentum in Australia for using a Collective Impact approach.
But is Collective Impact the right approach for all complex social issues?
If you want to explore this further, there are valuable free assessment tools available from Collective Impact Forum and Tamarack Community.
One thing is for sure, when we work in complex environments, much is unpredictable. It's simply not possible to control all the variables at play.
What we can do is position our initiatives to withstand the shocks, and leverage the opportunities complexity creates. But this means always remaining agile and open to harnessing serendipity. Collective Impact can help enable that but all involved must embrace that at its core, the approach means this is not business as usual.
Are we in the social purpose sector, government, business, philanthropy and in communities prepared to do things differently?

New Bill Would Eliminate NJ Superintendent Salary Caps
Here's big news for school boards and superintendents: Assemblyman Patrick Diegnan (D-Middlesex) has filed a bill that would bar the state from setting caps on superintendent salaries. The bill has the backing of Sen. President Steve Sweeney (no longer besties with the Governor), who said, according to NJ Spotlight, that the salary cap is a "big mistake" and has "created a situation where 25 percent of the superintendents in the state are temporary."
In 2010 then-Commissioner Bret Schundler, at Christie's behest, imposed salary caps based on district size. The caps run from $125K for NJ's smallest districts to $175K for large districts. (Here's the specifics.) Districts with enrollment over 10,000 students are exempt from the cap. Boards can also add merit bonuses of up to 15% of salaries based on achievement of quantitative and qualitative goals, although those bonuses have to be approved by county superintendents (who tend not to approve them).
NJ Spotlight links to Assemblyman Diegnan's bill, A 2930. Here's the relevant text:
The County Superintendent will Review and approve, according to standards adopted by the commissioner, all employment contracts for superintendents of schools, assistant superintendents of schools, and school business administrators in school districts within the county, prior to the execution of those contracts. The review and approval of the employment contracts shall be according to standards adopted by 4 the commissioner, provided that the standards shall not include maximum salary amounts for superintendents of schools;
Christie's original intent was to harness some out-of-control salaries (his poster child, Parsippany-Troy Hills superintendent Leroy Seitz, made $225K per year for running a 6,000 student district) but also encourage consolidation of NJ's 603-district infrastructure. Lots of wrath from wealthier districts on the former and no dice on the latter. Note that A 2930 also includes this:
County Superintendents will recommend to the commissioner a school district consolidation plan to eliminate all districts, other than county-based districts and other than preschool or kindergarten through grade 12 districts in the county, through the establishment or enlargement of regional school districts.
No one takes that seriously anymore. Not sure if anyone ever did.
How bad is NJ superintendent turnover? Pretty bad, but that predates the cap, occurring when the DOE eliminated superintendent tenure. According to NJ School Boards Association, which studied the impact of the salary caps, while "the anecdotal evidence tells of respected education leaders making an exodus from New Jersey schools, the data finds a smaller turnover of superintendents since the regulations were put in place."
More troublesome for many NJ school districts is principal-creep. In other words, current salaries for principals and other top administrators, based on union-school board bargaining agreements, are beginning to outpace superintendent salaries, posing a quandary for some districts. Can you pay your principals or other central office staff more than your CEO? Time will tell.
