Ideal for a small group of holiday-makers, this villa borrows its name from the surrounding vineyard, so if you decide to stay here during August and September you might be able to watch the grape harvest for next year's wine. Stone-clad walls both inside and outside create a sense of vintage charm, combined with traditional wooden furniture and the owner's collection of interesting photos and artworks. Guests can relax in the cosy living room with a book, or outside by the large jacuzzi and at the covered lounge area with sea views.
The outdoor terrace comfortably fits a large dining table for entertaining guests, with meals prepared at the fully equipped kitchen inside. If you are in the mood for a swim, the villa is only a few minutes' walk from Apantima Beach and Beach House Antiparos, where you can spend the day by the sea, have lunch at the restaurant or indulge in a session of therapeutic massage.

Q: csv writer in a loop - Python I'm trying to use csv writer in Python to write my output data to a file. When I just use the print command, the data looks good. But when I use the writerow command (line 20), nothing goes into the file.
I know the code isn't the prettiest and may not be the most efficient, but it (almost) works for what I need.
Here's my code:
import requests
from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup
import csv

symbols = {'AMZN', 'BAC', 'GOOG', 'RCL'}
with open('symbols.csv', "w") as csv_file:
    writer = csv.writer(csv_file, delimiter=',')

for s in symbols:
    try:
        url1 ='https://research.tdameritrade.com/grid/public/research/stocks/fundamentals?symbol='
        full_url = url1 + s
        response = requests.get(full_url)
        html = response.content
        soup = BeautifulSoup(html)

        for hist_div in soup.find("div", {"data-module-name": "HistoricGrowthAndShareDetailModule"}):
            EPS = hist_div.find('label').text
            print (s + '    ' + EPS) #this works and prints out good looking data
            #writer.writerow([s,EPS])<<this doesn't print anything to file
    except Exception as e:
        continue

A: It makes sense that this is what you get. If you'll notice, at the time you call writer.writerow, you've already closed the file. Well, you don't do it explicitly, but since you're using the with context manager, the file is automatically closed once the with block is exited, so any write operations will be on the closed file, which isn't possible.
If you want this to work, the loop (and everything inside it) will need to be placed inside the with block (so, indented one level deeper).
with open('symbols.csv', "w") as csv_file:
    writer = csv.writer(csv_file, delimiter=',')
    for s in symbols:
       ...   # call writer.writerow inside the block, while the file is open

A: You are trying to write on closed csv file. try to do the stuff withing `with block.
symbols = {'AMZN', 'BAC', 'GOOG', 'RCL'}
with open('symbols.csv', "w") as csv_file:
    writer = csv.writer(csv_file, delimiter=',')
    for s in symbols:
        ... rest of your code

Computer and details research scientists study and resolve complicated difficulties in computing. Computer chips themselves are developed with CAD applications that let an engineer write a specification for portion of a chip, simulate its behaviour in detail, test it thoroughly, and then generate the layouts for the photolithographic method that puts the circuit on the silicon. To do that, we need to have to expand beyond the existing variables most values in games: time, income, and quantity of games played. The computer is not ideal, but it could be worth a try if you or a loved-one has this distinct set of user needs. A hybrid computer is combination of each analog and digital computer i.e. a portion of processing is carried out on analog computer and a part on digital computer.
The existence of consciousness refutes materialism since consciousness is not material (i.e the notion of the material which was adopted at the birth of modern science in the 17th Century).

I bottled the APA today. I targeted 2.7 Vols of CO2 for carbonation. With a beer temperature during bottling of 69F, I calculated that I would need to 5.5 ounces of corn sugar for 5 gallons of beer. The priming solution was made with 2 cups of water plus the corn sugar. The sugar and water was boiled for 10 minutes, then cooled in an ice bath down to 60F. FG of the beer was 1.005@78F (1.007 corrected) before the priming solution was added. ABV is calculated at 6.1%. Yield was was 54 Bottles.

After several bad crop years while homesteading in Dakota, Buck Farley is employed by a rancher. The work involves cattle rustling, whiskey bootlegging, murder, a lynch mob and a pretty girl.
The author lived in Wildrose, North Dakota until he was ten years old. The family moved to Minot when he was in the fifth grade.
After graduation from high school in 1940, he joined the army and served in the 90th Infantry Division for a year before going into the Army Air Corps and flying missions over Germany in a B-24. On the 40th mission the plane was shot down and crash landed in Yugoslavia. A week later they crash landed half a mile inside the Swiss border after a raid on Augsburg.
Top Hand Sodbuster was written on a silent challenge from his aughter, Gail, who gave him the book How to Write Western Novels.
The setting of Top Hand Sodbuster is somewhere between Crosby and Minot. It is fiction in every respect based on some of the author's recollections of life as it was in those days.

It's a Tuesday evening in Edinburgh and I'm hidden at the back of The Ballroom in The Voodoo Rooms, notebook and pen poised at the ready. It's my first time in this venue, so I'm quite excited to see, or rather hear, what is going to hit my eardrums though the sound system I'm not used to. The set-up is rather nice, with a few tables at the front and a row of chairs. It's comfortable and classy at the same time.

Coheed And Cambria stream new track 'Number City' exclusively on NME.COM – listen

Song is first taster of second part of band's double album 'The Afterman: Descension'
Coheed And Cambria have given NME.COM an exclusive stream of their new track 'Number City' – scroll down to the bottom of the page and click to watch.
The song is taken from the forthcoming second part of the band's double album 'The Afterman'. Split into two parts, the first half of the LP, titled 'The Afterman: Ascension' was released in October last year, with the second chapter, which is called 'The Afterman: Descension', set to follow on February 4.
As with the band's previous releases, both albums are set within the alternative universe of Heaven's Fence and are part of a long-term story series called 'The Amory Wars'.
'The Amory Wars', which were picked up by Mark Wahlberg and Stephen Levinson of Leverage Productions to be developed into a live-action feature film last year, tell the story of the rise of superhuman dictator Wilhelm Ryan, and the one family that could hold the key to liberating the world from his tyrannical reign.
'The Afterman' itself focuses on a character named Sirius Amory, the most celebrated astronomer/scientist in the alternate universe of Heaven's Fence, who is credited with the discovery of the energy force (known as The Keywork) that binds the 78 planets of these worlds together.
Speaking about the LP, singer Claudio Sanchez said: "This is, without a doubt, the most honest record I've ever written. Though all the songs can be interpreted through our main character in the story, they were initially written in a very spontaneous manner.
In the past, I've always had a predetermined idea of what the story was going to be when I approached the songs.," he added. "With 'The Afterman' being a new story within the [Amory Wars] arc, I allowed the events of my life to drive the concept, and therefore opened up the songwriting to a fuller degree."

Websites should provide an interactive experience for the user, and one of the most simple forms of interaction is the humble contact form. When you install WordPress on your server, it even comes with a form builder plug in built right in. But forms can do so much more than just send a message with a subject line and email address. These forms can be used to create custom orders, provide feedback, and even dynamically change the user experience.
This paid software starts at $59/year, but boasts a number of key extensions. It has a clean user interface and reasonably prompt customer service.
The most popular, thanks to it's automatic download with WordPress, this free tool is surprisingly flexible but it lacks an easy user interface.
I was introduced to Gravity Forms when I needed an order form that automatically calculated prices and then charged that price to the WooCommerce shopping cart on the website I was building. It is the only form software I have found that has this type of extension (albeit at an additional $99/year) For nearly $160 annually, I was ready to be impressed.
Their customer service has been generally okay, and much of what you pay for with this type of software license. Issues generally took a day or two to be resolved. They have no phone line, or chat service, which is disappointing, but not uncommon.
My biggest complaint was how limited it was. Gravity forms does have conditional logic, but only certain fields can be variables, and they can only be used in certain ways. Calculations are allowed, but only in certain cases, and conditional logic can never be applied according to the results of the calculation. Also, if you add a priced field, the price it over-writes the value of each option. There is no way to say, calculate the quantity of items ordered as well as the total price.
The interface is well done, and if you aren't a computer person I can see the appeal, but as you will see below, there are free plugins that will probably serve you just as well. Also, if you have to take payments through a WooCommerce store, you might not have a choice. Still, if you can be convinced to use a stand alone payment service (like PayPal which has free extensions for all sorts of forms), I would definitely go that direction.
Ninja Forms was my first WordPress form builder, and it made a great impression on me. They have a number of pre-built forms that are ready to go. For most new websites, I just plop the generic contact form right on the contact page and I am done. It looks professional and it is so easy.
If I need some custom fields, their editor is simple to use. Especially for clients that what to maintain their own websites after my initial build, this form builder is what I usually leave them with. The user interface is intuitive and clean, much like Gravity Forms. The advantage: this tool is FREE!
As a free tool, however, it doesn't have features such as conditional logic, multi-page forms, or file uploads that come with a paid tool like Gravity Forms. To get those tools will cost around $50 EACH. If you will need such features, you are better off just starting with a different form builder.
There is a reason that this is the most popular form builder in WordPress. It is simple, extendable, and quite flexible. It uses a text editor to write html form code and then creates an email sent to the website administrator with each entry. As you can imagine, this means that using Contact Form 7 does require a bit of basic html knowledge. By basic, I am talking about a high school level computer literacy class. It really isn't too hard, and any website developer worth his snuff should have no problem using it. I even encourage my clients that want to manage their own website and are reasonably computer savvy to learn enough html to use this builder.
Contact Form 7 also has a number of very inexpensive extensions available. I recommend this bundle which is constantly being added to, ensuring that you have all the features you could want. It is a one time purchase, rather than a yearly bill like the above services, so it quickly pays for itself, and provides many more options than the other builders.
Because Contact Form 7 lacks the bells and whistles of the more graphic form builders, it is far more flexible. If you can think it, you can build it. You are not restricted to the pre-defined drop down menus and options checkboxes of Gravity Forms and Ninja Forms. For this reason, Contact Form 7 is my top pick. It is worth forgoing the interface to have granular control over your website.
Best for those comfortable with website development who want maximum flexibility and customization.

Die Kur is an industrial metal band from London, England. Formed in 1999 but with origins from 1995, the band has released five albums: From Dark (Renaissance of Evil) (2005), The Fall of The Empire (2008), ERA (Formicidae) (2011), the fourth double album Manifesto, released on 20 March 2015 comprising part 1, Modern Society Manifesto, and part 2, Songs of Freedom, and in 2021 they released "Regime: The Unsettling March to the World Domination". The band is actively performing concerts

History

Origins (1995–2000)
The band started as a duo project with Ays Kura and Tony D. writing a few music compositions and some electronic tunes. They performed the first concerts under the name of The Out Mind Zone in 1995. Continuous research and experiments with sound brought them to add guitars to their compositions and guitar player Max first, then bass player Joseph joined the project. The name then changed to The Care. The newly born band slowly evolved from an electronic sound to a more punk/rock sound and a first definitive band was formed with a lineup consisting of two guitars, bass, drums, keyboards and voice. Their live attitude along with composition not common for local rock metal band confined them into a world on their own.

Early days (1999–2003)

In 1999 the name was changed from The Care to Die Kur / Die Sorge then to the definitive Die Kur.
The name was taken from a German book after a rave party in Rome. Kura chose the words and liked the double meaning as the name be read in German or pronounced in English. Sometimes the name was used with the English article "the" making it "The Die Kur" to accentuate this. Later the article was dropped leaving only Die Kur remaining.

At this stage Kura started working in a recording studio with the agreement he could use the studio in the after work hours to record his own material. The first recording coming was "The Night before The back of the vampire" an experiment in using all the new studio equipment as well as trying to adjust his composition skills to a professional recording studio. With a new album already written for The Care, Tony and Kura decided to drop The Care recordings and dedicate only to Die Kur. The first night in studio together they recorded "The Face of Evil", that, in fact, will become the first single for Die Kur.

Followed by "Other but Reality", which featured Tony playing drums along synths and a sample taken from a German choir multitrack tape Kura was using to exercise with his mixing skills. Radio Detroit industrial broadcast the song and few more songs were recorded in the studio, including "David's Dream" and "4 (Pythagoras' Theme)". Although the full album Stardust from a Cup of Tea was recorded, the release was dropped. Instead they took the recording and made a remix of mostly the songs. "Kur•Fur•Stan•Damm" (sometimes spelled as "Kur•For•Stan•Damn") was born. This album as well as the next Biomech Butterfly never where officially released, although a few singles were taken into consideration and handled to local DJs and radios. Only one live appearance happened during this period and the name used by the promotion was still The Care/Die Kur and mostly of the time was consumed in edit and changing songs as well as continuous problems within the band. Alberto then approached the band and his guitar sound gave a new wider vision to Die Kur, recording "Zero", "Suicide ^ Machine", "Attempt to Die". With him joining the band, they had the first live concert under the name of Die Kur at the Scorpion Club.

From Dark (Renaissance of Evil) – (2003–2007)
Again although many tunes were ready they never concluded in a full album. This situation was frustrating for the band itself which was overproducing music but never releasing. Then Kura started to compose something new. The new relocation in London (UK), alongside the new experience made him write three of the most important Die Kur songs: "Hell Machine" which will be the first From Dark (Renaissance of Evil) single and in the following two days "17 Seconds of Pure Pleasure", and "Nihilist Act". The following attempts of recording the songs were between many difficulties and eventually Kura met drummer Jenya, who recorded all drums for "From Dark (Renaissance of Evil)" as well as becoming live drummer. As a trio they performed the first live concert in London at the rock club Infinity and was a total success, distinguishing themselves as a very chaotic and energetic live band.

The album was very well received but considered possibly only for a niche who loves their style of music. Following the release of "From Dark (Renaissance of Evil)" the band again entered in a hard situations when Jenya had to leave the UK while they were writing down the ideas of what would later become their second album. Nearly three years passed without a live show and Alberto and Kura in the meantime were recording the album "The Fall of The Empire" as well as Kura was composing and recording a new industrial soundtrack for the movie Fritz Lang's Metropolis, which featured "The Chemistry Steamer" and  "Hell Machine" from "From Dark (Renaissance of Evil)" as well as remix of "The Entertainment System" and "Evolution/Revolution" a single from the then upcoming"The Fall of The Empire". Only when Brendan joined the band as drummer they started again to perform live concert.

The Fall of The Empire – Propaganda Tour (2008–2010)
The Fall of The Empire is the second studio album from Die Kur and includes many earlier recordings and ideas. It was much anticipated but fans had to wait long before they could actually listen to it. In 2009 the album saw the final mixdown and was released first on vinyl and digital release, then in 2010 in CD format under NMTCG label. The first single "Saviour of Nothing" has been featured again in the CD cover of Powerplay Magazine, and "The Fall of The Empire (Song)" is featured in Music Fusion compilation. Following "The Fall of The Empire" they released "Era: past and future meet." a song in mp3 format only available for download anticipating the new album. A new series of live concert was already played when drummer Esteban joined the current lineup.

ERA (Formicidae) (2011–2012)

On 8 October 2011, during a concert held at the alternative club Reptile in London Die Kur presented a new album entitled ERA (Formicidae) which featured 12 new songs among which a new single "New Era". The Album was well received and considered by some a more cohesive effort.

2012–2014: "The Order of Things to Be" / "It Must Be (Destroyed)"
In May 2012 Kura announced in an interview that Die Kur was currently working on a new album still unscheduled for release.
In October 2013 the band revealed an EP with songs that are currently performed live, although without title on the cover/CD the album was entitled Manifesto EP although the EP was later dropped by the label due to the face that only 3 of the 4 songs finished on the CD. The song "It Must Be (Destroyed)" has been featured on Terrorizer Magazine Cover CD while "The Order of Things to Be" has become a free download from Die Kur Official Website. The EP anticipated what will be Die Kur fourth album.

Manifesto / "Beneath the Waves" (2015–2017)
Manifesto, Die Kur's fourth double album was released on 20 March 2015 with a live concert. Composed of two parts "Modern Society Manifesto" and "Songs of Freedom", the release features 32 songs and has been critically acclaimed by press and alternative radios as a great release for the band. With the first single to be extracted being "Conceptualising the War Machine". The album was preceded by an EP two years before, with two main singles "It Must Be (Destroyed)" and "The Order of Things to Be" which will be included in the final release, alongside the unique track "Circle Thinking" which won't be included in the final version of the album. The album is characterised by many elements of avant-garde music together with metal and industrial, and Kura, in an interview, declared he saw the album as a form of composition of musique concrète.

2017 saw the release of "Beneath The Waves", a completely new single over 12 minutes long, the song has been praised for his composition and evolution and gained popularity thanks to numerous independent radio plays. The song was released as a free download and was available in physical format on Record Store Day on 22 April worldwide.

All the Way Down to a New Regime (EP) (2018)
In 2018, strong from a consolidated line up consisting of Ays Kura, Amadeus R, Tony Nash, Nicholas McBrain, Takatsuna Mukai and Ivan Lattanzi, Die Kur released All the Way Down to a New Regime, an EP composed by four new songs.  The release was supported by an independent European tour and unexpectedly a video release for the first song, "The Legacy of the Fox".  Its lyrics touch the contemporary situation of many venues being shut down, making particular reference to The Intrepid Fox in London.

Regime: The Unsettling March to the World Domination (2021)
On 30 January 2021, during an online event, Die Kur released their fifth studio album entitled Regime: The Unsettling March to the World Domination as a continuous series of conceptual videos. The album further down pushes their experimental style into new unexpected territory, also thanks to the inclusion of few avant-guarde ambient tracks recorded as a soundtrack for an experimental theatre show.

If you're looking to have an incredible holiday packed with adventure, the French Alps is a fantastic option. It's easy (and cheap) to get to, offers variety and has pretty reliable weather, especially in the Southern French Alps, which has almost twice as much sun as its northern neighbour, the Northern Alps.
It's remarkable just how much adventure you can pack in, and we're here to give you a glimpse into that. With help from multi-activity holiday specialists Undiscovered Mountains, below we set out how you can make the most of one week in the Southern French Alps.
The Southern French Alps are undoubtedly beautiful, but what makes them extra special is that they're relatively unknown to British tourists, who usually head to the northern part of the French Alps instead.
With plenty of trails skirting the beautiful valleys and towering ridges, it's easy to just step outside and go hiking under your own steam. Local maps are readily available and trails are well signposted, so within hours you can find yourself lapping up beautiful views of the valley in relative solitude.
You could even throw a bit of mountaineering into the mix, and the Southern French Alps are ideal for beginners to try it out for the first time. For example, Undiscovered Mountains offers visitors the chance to climb to the summit of Mont Aiguille (2,085m) in one day, with a bit of scrambling, climbing and abseiling , or tackle a two day adventure to the summit of Les Rouies (3,589m). The latter comes complete with an overnight stay in a mountain refuge, and you'll also learn how to safely cross a snowfield and glacier.
For something a bit different, take to the lakes and rivers of the Southern French Alps. Anyone looking to get their blood pumping would be well advised to try canyoning or rafting. Canyoning is unadulterated fun in every sense of the word. After wrestling on a wetsuit, you spend your time abseiling down waterfalls, jumping into deep, pristine pools of water from ledges above, and coursing down natural water slides.
Rafting sees you take on bigger rapids from the relative shelter of an inflatable dinghy. With a guide at the helm, you'll navigate the white waters of some of the area's finest rivers. Will you get wet? Yes. Will you have a grin plastered across your face throughout? Absolutely.
Now, as I mentioned above, you probably don't want to be going 100mph throughout a holiday in the French Alps, but that doesn't mean you have to sit on your backside. Take to the beautiful waters of Serre Poncon Lake (the largest artificial lake in Western Europe) or Sautet Lake on a stand up paddle board and you'll be able to relax on the water, gently paddling while soaking up the views and the serene atmosphere.
With ridges dominating the skyline and rivers carving open the vibrant green valleys at ground level, every square mile is worthy of a photograph. And the best way to take it all in? From the air, of course. Multiple tandem paragliding experiences are open to adventurous souls, meaning there is plenty of opportunity to soar like a bird and survey the areas peaks and valleys from the best seat in the house.
If you're not quite up to the idea of running off the side of a mountain and gliding back to solid ground, a via ferrata might be a good alternative. OK, so you are stood on something, but you generally are quite high up… I took on my first via ferrata a couple of years ago and was addicted from the first minute. Essentially, a via ferrata is a route up and along cliff faces and exposed ground that gives you access to terrain previously only accessible to skilled climbers. It's made up of iron cables, pegs, rungs and ladders, and you're always clipped in so if you slip, things aren't quite as serious.
The Southern French Alps has multiple via ferratas to choose from (Undiscovered Mountains can advise on which might be best for you), but what they all have in common is the thrill of scaling some really exciting cliffs, and fantastic views of the valley below.
As you would expect from a place as rugged and beautiful as the Southern French Alps, there are endless cycling routes that allow you to discover the best of the area. Road cycling and mountain biking trails are strewn throughout the valleys and mountains, but there has also been a growing interest in e-cycling and fat biking.
Having spent an afternoon on an e-bike in Germany last year, I can vouch for how good they are. The benefit is that you can make short work of the ascent, giving you access to terrain that would previously have been reserved for the fittest of cyclists. Easier access to the area's more rugged spots means you can enjoy more views with less effort, and you still have plenty of energy to tackle the downhill parts.
Fat bikes might require more effort, but they also mean you can go pretty much anywhere. Because of the large tyres, fat bikes can be ridden on all types of terrain (including sand and snow), so nothing is off limits!
Just how you spend your week in the Southern French Alps depends how much freedom you want. Undiscovered Mountains has developed options for all eventualities.
On the one hand, travellers can select from a pre-planned trip with a set itinerary. This tends to include a range of activities and sightseeing, with all logistics being taken care of.
Another option, and one that we like in particular, is to book a summer multi activity holiday that is entirely flexible to your wants and desires. Essentially, you book a week-long trip and are awarded a collection of points. You can then use these points to book whichever activities (such as the ones mentioned above) you'd like to.
One of the most cost effective ways to get to the Southern French Alps is to fly. There are two main airports that you'd be choosing between, which are Marseille and Grenoble.
Return flights to Marseille can be had for less than £100 from London, while there are also direct flights from regional airports in the UK. From Marseille, you can get a bus right from the airport to the town of Gap, which serves as a gateway into the Southern French Alps.
Return flights to Grenoble are available from roughly £50 if you're happy to fly from London Stansted. Upon reaching Grenoble, there are trains or buses that will take you to Gap and the Southern French Alps.
If you prefer the idea of travelling overland, you can get trains all the way to Gap. The Eurostar (price at the time of writing is £70 return) will get you to Paris, from where you can catch an overnight train to Gap (roughly £150 return), waking up surrounded by mountains in the beautiful French Alps.

ECONOMIC CALENDAR (3 - 7 JAN, 2022)
EUR/USD started the year near the 1.2300 level but later found itself under strong pressure and declined towards 1.1200 before rebounding to 1.1300. The key driver for this move was the difference between Fed and ECB views on rates and inflation. While the Fed has already began to aggressively reduce its QE program and looks ready to raise rates several times in 2022, ECB remains dovish.
The outlook for the central bank policy will likely remain the key driver for EUR/USD in 2022. The rebound of the American economy was stronger than the rebound of the European economy, which put additional upward pressure on prices in the U.S. The key question for traders is the number of rate hikes from the Fed in the next year.
The US dollar has rallied a bit during the course of the trading session on Thursday to break above the psychologically important ¥115 level. For USD/JPY, the road ahead in the first quarter of 2022 will likely remain heavily glued to market expectations of how hawkish the Federal Reserve. In December, the central bank doubled the pace of tapering asset purchases, which will now see it end in early 2022.
Headline price growth is at its fastest pace in almost 40 years in the United States. Expectations are that price growth will remain above the central bank's target next year, with Core PCE running around 2.7% in 2022.
The UK kicked off 2021 with an advantage. It secured more vaccines than its peers in the West, and its population seemed enthusiastic to get jabbed. That advantage was closed by Britain's peers, and in 2022, most of the world will have access to immunization.
While the disease is global, other issues like Brexit, monetary policy, and fiscal moves are local. The bullishness of the Bank of England could prove temporary and backfire, while other matters may leave the monarchy behind.
Looking into 2022, AUD/USD appears to be at the whim of Australia/US interest rate differentials and the US Dollar, while commodities seem to be out of the picture for now. The RBA has remained comparatively dovish at a time when central banks around the globe are looking to tighten monetary policy aggressively. A robust Australian economy could be the factor to tilt the RBA into action and unwind pandemic stimulus.
Headline CPI is at the cusp of the upper bound of their target range of 2 - 3%, while their preferred measure of trimmed mean inflation, is at the lower bound. Their next meeting is early February, by that stage, officials will have fourth quarter CPI to take into account. With many Australian states re-opening in the fourth quarter, it is possible to see an up-tick in prices. This could force the RBA's hand and some hawkishness might be seen. The Australian Dollar may continue to languish until the RBA changes its tune.
USD/CAD The Canadian dollar weakened 0.3% to just below 1.28 in 2021, despite the volatility, the Loonie outperformed key currencies such as the Euro, Pound, Yen and the Swiss Franc amid a strong economic rebound.
Strength in energy markets is helping propel the Canadian Dollar higher at the end of the year. Energy, which accounts for approximately 11% of Canadian GDP, has a considerable sway over the Loonie, so it's no surprise that the sharp rebound by crude oil prices over the past week have filtered into rallies by the major CAD-crosses.
Amid thin-year end liquidity conditions, gold price continues to trade choppy within familiar levels, largely pivoting around the $1.800 mark. The downbeat sentiment around gold price could be attributed to a broad-based US dollar rebound, aided by the recent strength in the Treasury yields. The 10-year rates have recaptured the 1.50% key level, which warrants caution for gold bulls. Going forward the year-end repositioning in the greenback will continue to have a significant impact on gold while thin conditions could exaggerate the moves.
Gold price is retreating from near monthly highs of $1.820, having jumped on Thursday in a typical choppy year-end trading, Gold price almost tested December highs but failed to break through it, as bulls remain cautious heading into the yearly close. The bright metal remains on track to record its worst performance in six years, as the US dollar holds the higher ground amid expectations of aggressive Fed tightening next year.
Not only did oil prices rebound, they're higher now than prior to the pandemic. When oil prices crashed last year, producers had no choice but to cut production. That reduced supply was quickly outmatched as the historic economic recovery saw demand roar back sooner—and stronger—than expected. As of Friday, that WTI contract price stands at $69.62 per barrel—up 52% from December 2020. That has also translated into higher prices at the pump. The average U.S. regular price of $3.34 per gallon is up 55% since December 2020.
When it comes to domestically produced crude, Barclays predicts that the WTI contract price will increase from the current rate of $69.62 to an average price of $77 in 2022. The bank says the Biden administration's recent release of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve isn't a sustainable way to bring down prices, and the dip we've seen in recent weeks "would only be temporary." Prices could go even higher than forecast, the bank says, if COVID-19 outbreaks are minimized and thus allow demand to grow by more than expected. Simply put: If the pandemic winds down next year, that could put more upward pressure on prices.
The Nikkei 225 Index rose 4.91% to 28.792 and the broader Topix Index advanced 10.4% to 1,992 in 2021, marking their highest annual gains since 1989, driven by fiscal and monetary stimulus and a robust post-pandemic economic recovery.
Japanese stocks navigated an extremely volatile and eventful year, characterized by the full lifting of a nearly 6-month long state of emergency which paved the way for a faster economic recovery, the election of prime minister Fumio Kishida who led the passing of record fiscal packages, an accommodative Bank of Japan that kept supportive monetary policies in place and the emergence of the omicron variant that threatens to derail global growth.
Looking ahead to 2022, investors monitor developments around the virus and the direction of inflation, seen as main catalysts for major central bank and market moves.
#AXP
American Express closed at $164.16 in the latest trading session, marking a +0.2% move from the prior day. Heading into today, shares of the credit card issuer and global payments company had gained 9.18% over the past month, outpacing the Finance sector's gain of 2.2% and the S&P 500's gain of 3.11% in that time.
Investors will be hoping for strength from American Express as it approaches its next earnings release, which is expected to be January 25, 2022. On that day, American Express is projected to report earnings of $1.77 per share, which would represent year-over-year growth of 0.57%.
Meanwhile, our latest consensus estimate is calling for revenue of $11.42 billion, up 22.14% from the prior-year quarter. For the full year, our Zacks Consensus Estimates are projecting earnings of $9.55 per share and revenue of $41.67 billion, which would represent changes of +78.84% and +15.48%, respectively, from the prior year.
Apple stock is up nearly 40% year to date, handily topping the S&P 500's return of 28%. But as demand for the iPhone 13 wanes and the company's market capitalization climbs higher, whether to hold onto Apple stock or sell in the new year is a tough decision for investors. At 2021 Apple make low at 116.21, the high Is 182.06 and closing the year around 170-180.
For the fiscal quarter ended Sept. 25, Apple reported 29% revenue growth year over year. The company generated 33% growth on the product side of the business driven by strong iPhone sales, and also reported 26% growth in services while wearables grew 13% year over year. What may be even more impressive than its revenue growth is the amount of cash that Apple generates; the company's trailing-12-month free cash flow is $93 billion.
#BA
Boeing (BA) closed at $202.71 in the latest trading session, marking a -0.47% move from the prior day. This change lagged the S&P 500's 0.3% loss on the day. Shares of the airplane builder had gained 8.22% over the past month, outpacing the Aerospace sector's gain of 3.24% and the S&P 500's gain of 3.11% in that time.
Investors will be hoping for strength from Boeing as it approaches its next earnings release. In that report, analysts expect Boeing to post earnings of $0.03 per share. This would mark year-over-year growth of 100.2%.
Meanwhile, our latest consensus estimate is calling for revenue of $17.82 billion, up 16.42% from the prior-year quarter. BA's full-year Zacks Consensus Estimates are calling for earnings of -$1.59 per share and revenue of $65.37 billion. These results would represent year-over-year changes of +93.16% and +12.4%, respectively.
#EBAY
Despite the customer losses, eBay's stock is up 29% year to date, but that does not ensure it will have similar success in 2022. In its second quarter of 2020, eBay had 161 million active buyers, which increased to 166 million by the first quarter of 2021. That's when economic reopening gained momentum, and eBay started losing buyers. As of its most recent quarter ended Sept. 30, eBay was down to 154 million active buyers, falling from $21.7 billion in the third quarter of 2020 to $19.4 billion in Q3 2021.
Still, eBay managed to increase revenue during that same time from $2.2 billion to $2.5 billion. eBay achieved this feat by increasing the percentage it takes from each sale. Overall, eBay's take rate increased from 9.7% in Q3 last year to 12.1% in Q3 this year. That can partly explain eBay's stock price rise in 2021 despite the lower buyer totals.

Q: Is it better to use local variables or chain methods inline? If I have a series of method invocations, the value of each used for the next call, should I store them in local variables, like so:
DynamicForm filledForm = Form.form().bindFromRequest();
String shareIdStr = filledForm.get("data[shareId]");
UUID shareId = UUID.fromString(shareIdStr);
Share share = Share.find.byId(shareId);

or as a single invocation chain, like so:
Share share = Share.find.byId(UUID.fromString(Form.form().bindFromRequest().get("data[shareId]")));

In this case, the only value that is used again is share. Perhaps the answer is somewhere in-between, or is something completely different. What's your opinion?

A:
Not chaining Methods :

ADV

*

*Enhances readability.

*Gives an opportunity for re-usage.

*Pin pointing exceptions (if any) becomes easier.

*Debugging becomes easier, i.e. setting breakpoints on specific invocation is easy.
DisADV

*

*Increases length( I wont say size :) ) of code.

*IDE warnings (if any).

Chaining Methods

ADV

*

*Reduces the need for creating multiple temp. variables.

*Is a syntactic sugar

*Reduces the number of lines to be written.
DisADV

*

*Reduces readability of code.

*Commenting becomes difficult (if any) for particular methods called.

*Debugging the whole chain of invocation becomes very difficult.

A: The first way is only useful if you re-use these variables later in the method. If not, Eclipse  will tell you they are not used. So the second way is better, I think.
To clarify a long line of code, I like to write it like this :
Share share = Share.find
                   .byId(UUID.fromString(Form.form()
                                             .bindFromRequest()
                                             .get("data[shareId]")
                                         )
                   );

A: You can only compare these two forms if you consider you will not reuse variables. Otherwise, it doesn't make sense to compare them.
Generally the first variant gives your code more readability and potentially makes it easier to maintain.
Personally I develop a lot for embedded systems where the target platform has big constraints on computation power and size. Therefore I typically inline the code, so that my bytecode is smaller.
If I am to develop an application to run on a powerful server, or even the regular PC, then I would most likely opt for variant one.

A: Depends how you want to read your code. Local variables are useful if you are going to use them again. Otherwise proceed with chain invocation.


Since the monopoly of the church for the definition of the origin of men was running out at the end of the Middle Ages, philosophers, poets, and scientists of the christian world are trying to define the being of men. The always for that requesting reason lies in the evident imbalance of human nature and many contradictions which are influencing his thinking and doing. He wishes to have peace and war, the good and the bad, fidelity and infidelity, love and hate, freedom and bond and many other contradictions and is often undecided between two opportunities that are possible for him.
Darwin has tried to explain the origin of men from the evolution of all live on earth. To confirm his theory generations of searchers and scientists are searching in all countries of earth since more than hundred years after tracks, bones, tools and other proving material. They have found many things, showing the evolution of human being on earth. But only 10 000 years ago , following the valid knowledge, this being has reached in millions of years hardly the point of evolution to make fire, tools of stone ond bones and eke out his existence by fishing and hunting.
His mental abilities are however considerable and in the area of artistic depiction he is producing astonishing things. But than begins suddenly a fast development. Men are possessing at once domestic animals and are knowing a number of until now used kinds of cereals. That enables them to settle down. For these astonishing fast sudden progresses there is until now no scientifically accepted explanation but at least a term. It is that of "The Neolithical Revolution".
But there is much more astonishing. For only 3000 years later we find urban high cultures in the valley of the Indus and a little bit later in that of the Nile, the Euphrat and the Tigris with nearly all features of states of today. Typical for these states is a ruler of nearly unlimited power, that he practises about a tight organized system of priests, officials and warriors. Also the rest of the state is well structured. There are sharp limited classes of tradesmen, dealers, farmers and slaves. There are charges and taxes and artificial buildings like canals, dams, roads. Palaces and pyramids are planed and worked out with a precision which is hardly available today.
A miracle ! Or not?
The historigraphy of today tries partly, however often with no big conviction, to explain this astonishing change and progress with a climatic alteration, that has forced men, to withdraw into the valleys of rivers and organize there a state. This is not very convincing. After the theory of Darwin it is much more probable, that in the battle for the living space, becoming smaller and smaller, the more powerful groups would have had killed the weaker ones. They were finally completely uneducated savages, who had not the lowest idea of the organization of a state.
But what happened than ? A very legitimate question !

Blackiron Resort is now accepting 2017 reservations for seasonal and monthly RV and Tiny Home parking available.
Beautiful lake front spots in Hayward, WI on Upper Twin Lake. Some of the best fishing and boating lakes in the county.
This Resort is located right on the major intersection of many ATV and Snowmobile trails.. Ride right to your front door.
Hayward is a popular fishing destination because of the many lakes in the area including Lac Courte Oreilles, Grindstone Lake, Round Lake, Moose Lake, Spider Lake, Upper and Lower Twin Lake, and the Chippewa Flowage, which are known for yielding trophy-sized muskellunge ("muskie" or "musky"), northern pike, walleye, and smallmouth bass. It is also home to the "Quiet Lakes" (Teal, Ghost and Lost Land Lakes), which do not allow water sports as do the larger lakes.
The National Fresh Water Fishing Hall of Fame is located in Hayward. It contains a 143-foot (44 m) fiberglass musky, the world's largest fiberglass structure. Tourists can climb up into the mouth of the fish, and look over the town, as well as Lake Hayward. During the Christmas season, Santa Claus can often be found peeing over the town from the musky's mouth. In addition to fishing, Hayward is also a hot spot for deer hunting, golfing, cross-country skiing, snowmobiling, canoeing, kayaking, horseback riding, and road and mountain biking.
Sawyer County, where Hayward is located, has over 600 miles of groomed snowmobile trails, including 335 miles that run through county forests and connect with trails in adjoining counties.

Q: How to append file upload paths to a Form using JavaScript? Below is some jQuery/JavaScript code I have that handles file uploads on a Form I have.  The user can upload as many files as they need to, after they upload a file, I show a preview image of the uploaded file in a Div.
What I need help with, is I need to somehow add the files that are uploaded, to a hidden form field so when they submit the Form, it will post the file name/path of each file that was uploaded with the other Form data to my backend PHP script.
I'm just not sure on the best way to do this?
I was thinking something like this might work...
<input type="text" name="uploads[]" id="uploads" value="FILE PATH HERE">
But i'm not sure if this would overwrite previous values each time a new file was added if there is more then 1 upload?
Any ideas on how to handle this?  All I really need is to access the filename of each uploaded file in the backend once the Form is submitted.
jQuery(function () {
    jQuery('#fileupload').fileupload({
        url: '<?php echo Mage::getUrl('signwizard/index/saveFile') ?>',
        sequentialUploads: true,
        dataType: 'json',
        dropZone: jQuery('#dropzone'),
        pasteZone: jQuery(document),
        autoUpload: true,

        done: function (e, data) {
            jQuery.each(data.result.files, function (index, file) {
                jQuery('
').html(' '+file.name).appendTo(jQuery('#imageContainer'));

                // Add Uploaded image path and name to a Form field so thatr the file path will be posted when the Form is submitted.....

            });
        }
    });
});

A: To elaborate on my comment, as long as you append a new input for each file, you are good to go:
done: function (e, data) {
    jQuery.each(data.result.files, function (index, file) {
         jQuery('
').html(' '+file.name).appendTo(jQuery('#imageContainer'));

         jQuery('#yourformid').append('input type="hidden" name="uploads[]" value="'+file.name+'">');

     });
}

A: just append a new input for each file, (jQuery v3.6.0)
done: function (data) {
     $.each(data, function(index, value) {
         $('#yourformid').append('<input type="hidden" name="uploads[]" value="'+value.fileName+'">');

     });
}

Q: What is the origin and history of the 'Order of the Maesters'? Either in the 'A Song of Ice and Fire' series or 'The World of Ice and Fire' we get detailed backstory on the various orders in the Known World, such as the Night's Watch, King's Guard or Alchemists' Guild. There does seem to be information lacking, however, on the origins of the Maesters - apart from a small mention of Peremore Hightower.
Is there any information on how the order grew from the Age of Heroes and became to be what it is now? Did Aegon I create the position of Grand Maester (Gawen served under him), for example, when he created the small council or was there one before but for each Kingdom?
How have their traditions and practises changed over time? I'm aware that the forging of a Valyrian Steel link (for the 'higher mysteries') has fallen out of fashion but that's about it in terms of changes that I am aware of.
Do they have equivalents in Essos and Sothoryos or do those continents subscribe more to sorcery?
Finally there appears to be some enmity between the Maesters and the Alchemists yet the Peremore extract makes mention of wizards and alchemists as well as teachers and healers. When was there a distinction made between the two roles?

A: The Age of Heroes
In other words, unknown and unclear.
Throw me a bone
It is unknown exactly when the Order of Maesters was established and the Citadel built, however, Maester Yandel$ writes in The World of Ice and Fire that it was Prince Peremore Hightower who established the Order of the Maesters (or at least a precursor to it):

The origins of the Citadel are almost as mysterious as those of the Hightower itself. Most credit its founding to the second son of Uthor of the High Tower, Prince Peremore the Twisted. A sickly boy, born with a withered arm and twisted back, Peremore was bedridden for much of his short life but had an insatiable curiosity about the world beyond his window, so he turned to wise men, teachers, priests, healers, and singers, along with a certain number of wizards, alchemists, and sorcerers. It is said the prince had no greater pleasure in life than listening to these scholars argue with one another. When Peremore died, his brother King Urrigon bequeathed a large tract of land beside the Honeywine to "Peremore's pets," that they might establish themselves and continue teaching, learning, and questing after truth. And so they did.-The World of Ice and Fire, Oldtown. #

As you credited in your post, this is the only piece of concrete evidence as to the origin of this order.
To vague, or not to vague, that is the question
I'd assume that this vagueness within the story is by design. Both in-universe and out. The author, George R. R. Martin has intentionally left these details unclear to add to the air of mystery around the Maesters. We don't know where they came from or what their ultimate purpose is, and that is one of the great mysteries of A Song of Ice and Fire. The Maesters themselves probably want to keep it that way as well.
Ask and you shall receive
Is there any information on how the order grew from the Age of Heroes and became to be what it is now?
Honestly, not much. At least not specifically laid out within the text. They're basically a group of people with similar interests who got together one day, decided to form a group, and slowly but organically grew to where they are now.
Did Aegon I create the position of Grand Maester
Unclear. Basically, the only historic archmaesters we know of are:

*

*Gyldayn@,

*Haereg,

*Hake and

*Harmune
all of which seem to have existed since after the reign of Aegon I. I'd wager that they existed since before Aegon's conquest, since their role is unrelated to the Iron Throne.
How have their traditions and practises changed over time
Much and more. When they first started out, they were a rag-tag team of people who basically just got together and debated things. Now, they are a highly evolved organisation with more than one hierarchical tier. They're now spread far-and-wide throughout Westeros (most great houses have a serving Maester).
I'm aware that the forging of a Valyrian Steel link (for the 'higher mysteries') has fallen out of fashion
Fallen out of fashion, but not forgotten. Archmaester Marwyn studies the occult, he even has a ring, rod and mask which are made of Valyrian steel (signifying his connection to the studies of magic).
Do they have equivalents in Essos and Sothoryos or do those continents subscribe more to sorcery
A bit of a tricky one. Most of these traditions and customs are relevant only in Westeros. There are definitely higher order characters within the other continents, such as the Elephants and Tigers in Volantis or the Graces in Ghiscari tradition; however, their roles and importance is not spelled out as much as the Maesters.
When was there a distinction made between the two roles [alchemists and Maesters
You're correct in that the first group, or perhaps even the first couple of iterations of the early Maesters had at least one alchemist in it. However, this may have been a token mention from the author(s) as the Guild of Alchemists is an entirely separate faction. Remember, the guild of Alchemists is again just a Westerosi organisation, and:

The pyromancers from the Alchemists' Guild in King's Landing are not the only pyromancers that can be found across the world-http://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Alchemists'_Guild#Organization

Meaning that the first "alchemist" mentioned in the Peremore section may have been an un-related person.

We are going to select Option 1, which is the new Version in Maintenance Mode.
Once the Machine boots up all the way and we login, we can verify the state of our image/Version by double clicking on the Provisioning Virtual Disk status agent.
Notice the Mode is in Read/Write now.
So to change the version, simply go back to your vDisk store, select the correct vDisk, Right Click on the vDisk and Select Versions. Click on Promote, and select Test, I highly recommend Setting to test and log back into the Base Machine, and test all applications.
Once you are satisfied with new Version following the same steps as above, Click on Promote and now we have two options, either Push this image immediate (Next reboot) or you can schedule to release the version for next reboot on a scheduled day.
So how does this look and how do I keep my vDisks in sync between local Provisioning Servers Drives.
So if you notice we have a new file type ".avhd" instead of the standard ".vhd" basically all this is doing is creating "Snapshots" and "Delta Files. So now instead of having to copy the full Flat VHD, all we have to do now is copy the Delta files too the other Provisioning Servers. So take for example the latest Version Win7_V1.3 we now only have a 320Mb file to copy across the wire instead of another 9Gb file.
