Schiaparelli Names Bertrand Guyon Design Director
Bertrand Guyon, a seasoned couture designer currently at Valentino, is to take up the reins.
By Miles Socha on April 28, 2015
EXCLUSIVE: Dior Men's Show to Pay Tribute to Judy Blame
Genderless Label Manonik Debuts 2020 Collection
PARIS – Couture week in July will feature the debut of a formerly hidden talent: 49-year-old Frenchman Bertrand Guyon.
On Tuesday, Schiaparelli named the seasoned couture designer as its new design director, confirming a WWD report on March 11.
Guyon is also responsible for forthcoming high-end ready-to-wear collections that the Place Vendôme house dubs "prêt-à-couture."
Owned by Italian entrepreneur Diego Della Valle, Schiaparelli has been searching for a creative director since November, when the company parted ways with Marco Zanini after a two-season collaboration. An in-house team designed the spring collection unveiled in January.
Guyon joins Schiaparelli from Valentino, where for the past seven years he helped to shape the couture and ready to wear collections by Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli, the Roman house's creative directors.
A graduate of the École de la Chambre Syndicale de la Couture Parisienne, Guyon started his career at Charles Jourdan, Givenchy and Pierre Cardin.
At Givenchy, he worked under house founder Hubert de Givenchy and his two successors — John Galliano and Alexander McQueen — before joining Christian Lacroix in 1997.
According to Schiaparelli, Guyon was Lacroix's right hand, an experience that shaped his vision of couture as a "laboratory of fantasy, poetry and savoir faire."
Hired to revive a brand that had been dormant for 60 years, Zanini staged two shows for Schiaparelli, largely receiving plaudits for bringing some flamboyance and eccentricity to the high fashion scene.
Reviving a brand synonymous with shocking pink and designs influenced by Surrealism has been a topsy-turvy process for Della Valle, who bought the trademarks and archives in 2006 and trumpeted the house's comeback in 2012.
He started out hiring Paris fashion personality Farida Khelfa as the spokeswoman for Schiaparelli; and tapped Lacroix for a one-off collection that was never sold before finally appointing Zanini.

Want to be notified of new releases in LeadSV/rfc?
RFCs are an effective way for an engineering organization to manage both historical and planned changes. With curation, your RFC archive tells the story of your company's technology and thought process. We believe in an open and honest dialog between all engineers. Because of this, we've embraced the Request for Comments system.
These RFCs should always choose "timely" over "perfect"
Since the inception of the RFC process modern tools (hi git!) have made it possible to build a rich RFC process with minimal effort. Github, Bitbucket, Gitlab, and other collaborative repositories all have code commenting and review tools, capable of capturing the discussion surrounding RFCs, and which RFCs are being strongly championed by the company.
Many software changes, including bug fixes and documentation improvements can be implemented and reviewed via the normal git pull request workflow without ever touching this process. However, we do ask that bigger requests and ideas follow a bit of formality, especially when you are thinking about changes that impact other engineers elsewhere in the company. By creating an RFC, you're guaranteed that impacted folks have an adequate heads-up on the changes.
Please refer to RFC1 "Using RFCs" for a detailed explanation of why RFCs are important and how to contribute your own RFC to this series.
Submit a pull request. Be prepared to revise it as folks weigh in.
Help drive consensus on the RFC. Work to understand concerns.
If the RFC is not approved for publication, the domain owner responsible for editing RFCs will provide clear and detailed feedback regarding why the RFC wasn't published. Your RFC will continue to exist in the code review history and available in searches.
A published RFC ensures that other teams are made aware of the document.
Modifications to "active" RFCs can be done in follow-up pull requests. We strive to write each RFC that refers to architecture in a manner that it will reflect the final design; but the nature of the process means that we cannot expect every merged RFC to actually reflect what the end result will be at the time of release.
In general, once published, RFCs should not be substantially changed. Only very minor changes should be submitted as amendments. More substantial changes should be new RFCs, with a link added to the original RFC.
If you have a great system that already helps you capture "why" and is good at democratizing ideas, you don't need this! If you're looking for something that has advantages over tools such as slack, wikis, and documents this may be a strong alternative.
This work was inspired by the Rust RFC Process and IETF RFC3 "Documentation Conventions".

Bahraini princess had life-saving surgery in Israel
Times of Israel report
Israeli hospital recently provided life-saving treatment to a Bahraini princess, Israel's Deputy Minister for Regional Cooperation Ayoub Kara said Monday. However, the case to which he was apparently referring took place in 2010.
Kara refused to name the princess or disclose the nature of the surgery. Although he said she had the treatment at Haifa's Rambam Medical Center, he also refused to specify when it took place. In its aftermath, he said, he will now meet with officials from the tiny Gulf nation, and intends to use the opportunity to strengthen Jerusalem's unofficial alliance with Sunni Arab states in the region.
A spokeswoman for Rambam told The Times of Israel that the hospital did indeed treat a Bahraini princess — but that this was in 2010. No Bahraini princess had been treated there since, she said.
Kara said the decision to provide the princess with treatment in Israel was approved by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
"In Bahrain, they didn't really give her a chance to survive," Kara told The Times of Israel. "At the end, we received her here, she underwent an operation, and subsequently even spent some time [at a rehabilitation center] in Nesher next to Haifa."
The princess, who stayed in Israel for about two months but has since returned to Bahrain, he said, had been invited to undergo the operation in the United States. But she opted for treatment in Israel, according to Kara, a Druze member of Netanyahu's Likud party.
She said she believed that Israel was the [best] place for her to get better. She turned down the American offer. She said she wanted to undergo the operation only in Israel," he said.
Her aides turned to Kara, he said, and he consulted with Netanyahu and other officials who gave him the green light to invite her to Israel.
Kara's involvement in the matter led Bahraini officials to invite him to the Gulf state or to a third country to discuss how Israel and the Sunni Arab states could further intensify their cooperation, he said.

See what the stars have in store - by Tanya Obreza
Excitement is on offer this year, and you're pretty much free to choose your own adventure. The cosmos lends an assertive edge that pushes work along nicely. Business and money matters look promising. You meet competition and challenges with greater confidence. Just watch out for potential pitfalls, including over-exertion. Remember, too, that you travel among others, so don't trash their sensitivities. People respect your honesty, but they treasure tact and compassion more.
Aries (March 21 - April 20)
Best Day: Saturday 20th
Life gets a nudge in the right direction, but it's up to you to take that first step forward. Reviewing work priorities should create more time for play - and that's what you truly need. To get the best from this week, why not take a few days break. Divert all calls to message bank. Go play!
Taurus (April 21 - May 20)
Best Day: Friday 19th
Sweep the less savoury issues of life to the side. Sure, you'll blow the budget - but the memories will more than make up for it. And it's not just you doing the giving. Generosity becomes a two-way street as others reciprocate love and support. Romance thrives and survives. Seems that this could be your lucky week, Taurus. Simply, enjoy.
Gemini (May 21 - June 21)
Best Day: Thursday 25th
Fate, destiny or synchronicity, call it what you like - something's about to happen. If you have important choices to make, trust your intuition. At work, expect to rub shoulders with more professionally oriented people. Friends at the top have no qualms about helping you, so make the most of your contacts. The outcome could be sensational.
Cancer (June 22 - July 22)
Best Day: Tuesday 23rd
There's something truly comforting about returning to familiar surroundings, especially if times have been tough. More recently, any solo experiences were necessary, and now you get to enjoy the support of friends and family. It's time to put down emotional roots. There could also be financial gain through real estate.
Leo (July 23 - August 23)
Best Day: Sunday 21st
This week gives you the chance to move forward. Once again, you're motivated and headed towards success. If you've brilliant ideas in the back of your mind, bring them to the fore. Nonetheless, pace your efforts. Though changes still need making - allow a sensible time span between each. Right now, steady groundwork is required.
Virgo (August 24 - September 22)
Best Day: Monday 22nd
This week looks set for some theatrical moments, and heaven help those who try to upstage you. However, if tempted to lay down the-law-according-to-Virgo, don't. The more you belligerent you become, the greater the resistance. Leave the melodrama to the fire signs such as Leo and Aries - it suits them better.
Libra (September 23 - October 23)
You prefer your life uncluttered, Libra. It's unfortunate, then, that this week looks a tad messy - especially for those in love affairs. Perhaps one participant has failed to mention that there's another in the mix. Are you really ready to risk current love for the sake of an albeit passionate - but short term fling? Business, however, looks set to prosper.
Scorpio (October 24 - November 22)
Sometimes you feel like you just don't belong on this planet. Others don't seem to understand your unique imagination. Happily, this week gives the rest of us dullards a chance to catch up and beam in to your other-worldly wavelengths. While in such a romantic mood, do yourself a huge favour and take time out to play.
Sagittarius (November 23 - December 21)
You're in a fighting mood. Some might call your attitude aggressive, but you say you're being assertive. One warning: we all do and say things we later regret and this week could bring that red-faced moment. But nothing's beyond repair, especially with a romantic partner. Just kiss and make up.
Capricorn (December 22 - January 20)
Best Day: Wednesday 24th
A determined Capricorn with nothing to do spells trouble. You're on a professional and creative bender that can't be suppressed. The alternative? Sit still and risk spontaneous combustion. And don't panic if a nearest and dearest appears out of emotional reach. At times, we all need our private space. There are still plenty of special moments to be had.
Aquarius (January 21 - February 18)
Even super-intuitive Aquarians can find current planetary progress a tad perplexing. The meddling of a moody cosmos further contributes to an already tricky situation by introducing random elements into your life. To add to the general disruption, a secret someone returns. Or someone else, just as abruptly - leaves.
Pisces (February 19 - March 20)
Being deliberately outspoken isn't your usual style, but expressing your concerns just might help you get what you want. Silence isn't always golden. Should you be worried that opportunities are passing you by - don't fret. Seeds have been planted. Hard work and determination will do the rest. Communications start to improve.

The Health Order CA postpones unnecessary surgeries to facilitate hospital intensive care systems

Other COVID headlines today. The Italian government has extended travel restrictions and other measures for another week, after the Christmas holidays, but high school students can return to the following week with limited numbers. In France, only 500 people were vaccinated in the first six days, the Pfizer vaccine was available, so today health officials say they will simplify the process and add vaccination centers. Indonesia will start its vaccination program next Wednesday. The first person in the line will be the boss. We're used to seeing traffic jams in Los Angeles. But this year is not at 405 during RUSH-HOUR. That's off the DODGER STADIUM stadium last night, and all of those cars in the COVID TESTIN LOS ANGELES County test line continue to be the nation's saga with ampoules facing restrictions when transporting patients to them. Here's a look at the number.According to Johns Hopkins University, the number of cases nationwide has dropped below 200,000 in the past 24 hours, but we're ready to hit the 21 million mark as soon as today. More than 2,000 other deaths have also been reported. In California, there were more than 35,000 cases in the past 24 hours, and another 383 deaths were reported, most likely over the weekend, and not just in a single day. We have 27,000 deaths in California. TEO: – dir: While the state is struggling to administer the vaccine, the dentists are coming forward. The emergency waiver will allow the 36,000 dentists in California to assist with the vaccination. They will obtain certification through online training from CDC dentists who will likely administer vaccinations at hospitals, clinics, and vaccination sites. As they prepare to help, they are still waiting to get their vaccinations done. Dentists are included in the first round of VACCI distribution, but have not made their role yet. >> I'd like to say we can give it to our staff and then help. Didier: The dentist we spoke with says he's unlikely to give vaccinations to a dentist's office because of logistics like freezer storage. TEO: UC DAVIS will conduct another clinical trial of a late-stage COVID-19 vaccine to end the pandemic. DEIRDRE: KCRA 3'S BRIAN HICKEY lives at UC DAVIS Medical Center in Sacramento with details. This BRIA vaccine can be stored at higher temperatures, so one day you can see vaccines being given in doctors – dentists' offices. At the University of California at Davis, they are taking the vaccine – the Novavax vaccine. They are calling for up to 300 people to participate in the trial, which hopes to register 30,000 participants in the trial across the United States and Mexico. They are particularly interested in members of the Latin, African and Native American communities. This will be a double-blind experiment, meaning that no one knows who got the vaccine or placebo. The vaccine is a double dose like the others. The study will take 26 months and require 8-10 office visits. Participants will be paid to take a portion. Must be over 18 years of age, in good health, and not part of any other study. They say that a major benefit of this vaccine is that it can be stored between 36 and 4 degrees Fahrenheit, unlike the MODERNA and PFIZER vaccines which must be kept at lower temperatures, which causes the distribution to vary.

Arkim Designs Retro-Style Restaurant Sam Sam In Melbourne
The interior of the new Sam Sam Korean Chicken and Beer restaurant in Melbourne, Australia — designed by local studio Arkim — explores a sense of elegance and modesty with its clean, perpendicular and tiled design that flows continuously around the walls, floors and furniture, forming soft curved surfaces along the corners of the space. Similar to Sam Sam's menu, its overall scheme, lighting features, and seating layout also gives a contemporary approach to the retro style of the 60s and the architecture of traditional Korean public baths.
The aim of this project is to create a new twist on a classic design. Bound into a truly innovative world of contemporary fashion, this concept depicts the blurred boundaries between modern Korean interior style and western architecture language. While driven by the recent trend in Korean architecture of "Modern Minimal Interior Design", the continuous lines and three-dimensional geometry becomes the main language of the interior space.
Significantly, the spatial concept also needed to be incorporated with Sam Sam's branding concept of 'casual and fun Korean dining'. In doing so, the overall scheme of the project gives a sense of a public bath architecture that is still part of Korean culture today. This then explores the possibility of adapting cultural and traditional architecture into a more contemporary setting.
This small-scale restaurant — 17m2 of dining area — is constituted to have more than 12 seats including self-ordering kiosks, a counter and bar area. "With this programme, our team played with different types of compositions, configurations and layouts such as elevating the main seating area to create dimensions in a compact space," explains the studio. "My team also added a sense of sophistication and uniqueness in the project by embracing the seating style of public baths while curving their edges to emphasize continuity and minimalism."
This idea became one of the challenges the team had to resolve since the tiles used were not made for an unconventional scale and design. The team had to calculate and run through all the tile work in 3d to make all the lines and elements continuous no matter how many corners and level changes there were.

How to Compete with Trading Machines
Simple: Ignore them.
I'm not that old but I can remember the days when it required a human to execute a trade on the floor of the NYSE. Obnoxiously-colored jackets, overpowering voices, and rapid fire hand signals were trader's competitive advantages of the day. Today, even the love child of pianist Oscar Peterson and gunslinger Doc Holiday wouldn't be able to compete with computer algorithms. Algorithms are the new competitive advantage in day trading. Accept it, deal with it, and move on!
These disruptive technologies known by names like high frequency trading (HFT) and low-latency trading (LLT) are taking over the global exchanges. Throw in the latest craze of ETFs designed to move two and/or three times as much as a particular index, and volatility shoots through the roof on the outlier days in the market.
According to Boston-based consulting firm Aite Group, in 2006 one-third of EU and US stock trades were computer generated. By 2009, nearly three-fourths of all US equity trades were automated. During the biggest trading day in history up to that point, in September 2009, ETFs reached an unprecedented 40% of trading volume. This rapid ascent of HFT and LLT would make Adam Smith both proud and nervous.
That's because Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations was all about how human nature and the natural laws of behavior will ultimately find the most efficient solution to a problem if left alone (i.e., little or no third party interference). Mr. Smith might correctly point out that computers can do a better job than humans when it comes to taking advantage of mispriced securities, making him proud. I happen to agree with this simplified position. Yet he'd be nervous, as am I, about the lack of human interpretation pervasive in today's markets. Smith's brilliant analysis requires human behavior to be part of the mix. HFT replaces partially emotionally-based behavior with pure logic. HFT and LLT may be quicker, but quicker doesn't equate to smarter.
The famous $61 to $47 back to $61 move in P&G on May 6, 2010 during the Flash Crash is a perfect example of why computers aren't smarter just because they are faster. Though P&G did trade at $47 for a millisecond on May 6, it wasn't reality based. It was a fictitious amount created–and corrected–by trading programs. A line of computer code decided to sell at $47 and another line of code decided to buy. At the end of the day, P&G's value had barely changed, human's were given a few hours to make sense of the carnage, and sanity returned to pricing.
Back to the issue at hand. How can the everyman compete with these trading programs? Ignore them. Ignore the volatility. Ignore the violent swings. And most of all, don't try to compete by day trading. You'll lose. Colocation servers, genius algorithms, and Moore's Law have sealed the fate of human traders. The only solution for the everyman is to return to fundamentals. Make buy and sell decisions based on a discounted value of a security's future cash flows. It'll make investing greats like Ben Graham and his famous disciple Warren Buffett proud and you—the everyman—wealthier. Trust me.

Brian G. Sewell, Founder of Rockwell Capital; a family office committed to educating investors about cryptocurrency, and Rockwell Trades, below explains the intricacies of cryptocurrencies, shares the latest SEC regulatory updates, and provides expert insight into the future of cryptocurrencies across the globe.
The August 6th SEC decision to postpone a ruling on whether to approve the SolidX Bitcoin Shares ETF for trading on The Chicago Board Options Exchange is a good sign. Given previous SEC statements, the postponement appears to suggest that the U.S. regulatory agency wants to issue a well-thought-out approval ruling that protects cryptocurrency investors and nurtures innovators. I agree with the CBOE that "investors are better served by products traded on a regulated securities market and protected by robust securities laws." And I would rather see the SEC make a methodical decision to approve a cryptocurrency ETF, with thoughtful guidelines than a rash decision to reject one.
Granted, no more than 3.5% of households worldwide have adopted cryptocurrency as a payment method. But as developers and regulators resolve the following key issues, global cryptocurrency adoption will likely grow — both as a consumer payment method, and through business-to-business integration, streamlining a variety of operations in the private and public sectors. The prospect of more widespread adoption explains why I think cryptocurrencies may continue to outperform other investment assets in the long term and improve how the world does business.
Though the SEC may not reach a final decision until next year on the proposed listing of SolidX Bitcoin Shares ETF, I think the agency will eventually approve what many experts say represents the best proposal for a cryptocurrency ETF. The proposal — which requires a minimum investment of 25 Bitcoins, or USD 165,000 assuming a Bitcoin price of $6,500 — seems to meet the SEC's criteria on valuation, liquidity, fraud protection/custody, and potential manipulation.
By boosting institutional investment, SEC approval would represent another milestone in the validation of cryptocurrencies. To reiterate, rising adoption could benefit the U.S. financial system and other financial systems worldwide, because cryptocurrency promises to create significant financial savings and societal benefits — by streamlining how the world transacts for goods and services, updates mutual ledgers, executes contracts, and accesses records.
Beyond a potential Bitcoin ETF, demand is mounting for a comprehensive regulatory framework that protects consumers while nurturing innovation. Because the dollar remains the leading global fiat currency, institutional investors across the globe are especially watching for what framework of rules and policing U.S. regulators develop. Although many institutional investors are assessing the risk/reward proposition of cryptocurrency investments, that doesn't mean they're ready to invest. Many such endowments, pension funds, and corporate investors are awaiting U.S. regulatory guidance and protections to honor their fiduciary duties. How, if at all, for example, will exchanges be required to implement systems and procedures to prevent hacks and otherwise protect or compensate investors from cyber attacks?
Though there's mounting pressure on regulators to act, cryptocurrency regulation that both protects consumers and nurtures innovation requires a nuanced set of rules, a sophisticated arsenal of policing tools, sound protocols, and well-trained professionals. Developing such a unique strategy takes time, and may involve some stumbles. But I think U.S. regulators will eventually succeed in developing a comprehensive and balanced regulatory framework for cryptocurrency. If institutions become more confident that regulations can help them meet their fiduciary duties, even small allocations from reputable endowments, pensions, and corporations could unleash a new wave of investment in cryptocurrencies.
Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are still developing the capacity to function at a mass scale, which will require processing tens of thousands of transactions per second. But technology such as Plasma, built on Ethereum, and the Lightning Network, a second layer payment protocol compatible with Bitcoin, are being tested, which could enable cryptocurrencies to execute faster, cheaper payments and settlements than any other payment method. Though developing applications that bring cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum to scale may not happen overnight, I think sooner or later; developers will get it right.
Making cryptocurrency scalable would probably unleash an explosion of new applications. That would boost adoption by allowing consumers and businesses to more easily take advantage of cryptocurrency by seamlessly integrating it with debit and credit payment systems – again, to execute transactions, update mutual ledgers, execute contracts, and access records. Such financial activities would likely happen more quickly, cheaply, and efficiently than ever because there would be no banking intermediary needed to validate the transaction and take a cut of the fees. This could improve the cost and efficiency of commerce – between businesses, between businesses and consumers, between governments and consumers, between nonprofits and consumers, and in every combination thereof. The seeds for this transformation of commerce have been planted, and like the internet before it, can innovate in ways we can't fully anticipate.
At its current technological stage, use of cryptocurrency adoption as a payment method could grow fastest in emerging markets, especially those without a secure, reliable banking infrastructure. Many consumers in such regions have a strong incentive to transact in cryptocurrency — either because their country's current banking payment system is inefficient and unreliable, and they lack a bank account altogether. Globally, 1.7 billion adults remain unbanked. Two-Thirds of them own a mobile phone that could help them use cryptocurrency to transact and access other blockchain-based financial services.
As more applications launch in the developing world to facilitate the use of cryptocurrencies to buy and sell goods and services at lower cost and in expanded markets — and more young people receptive to such new technologies come of age — cryptocurrency adoption could well rise exponentially.
High volatility is inherent in the investment value of this nascent technology, due to factors including technological setbacks and breakthroughs, the impact of pundits, the uneven pace of adoption, and regulatory uncertainty. Bitcoin, for example, generated a four-year annualized return as of January 31st, 2018 up 393.8%, a one-year 2017 performance up 1,318% — and year-to-date, down 52.1%. Bitcoin has experienced even larger percentage drops in the past, before resuming an upward trajectory.
I believe roughly thirty percent of Bitcoin investors over the past half year are speculators since the cryptocurrency has dropped on the negative news by as much as a third. In my view, Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies will experience many more bubbles and bursts, in part, fueled by speculators, who buy on greed and sell on fear.
But as the dot-com era underscores, the bursting of an investment bubble may signal both a crash and the dawn of a new era. While irrational investments in internet technology in the 1990's fueled the dotcom bust, some well-run companies survived and led the next phase of the internet revolution. Similarly, despite periodic price crashes, I believe a small group of cryptocurrencies and other blockchain applications, including Bitcoin, will become integrated into our daily lives, both behind the scenes and in daily commerce.
Although "irrational exuberance" will continue to impact the price of cryptocurrencies, this disruptive technology represents the future not only of money but of how the world will do business.

Q: Python selenium script to continue running if element is not found I am dealing with a pop up issue that seems to be random before I click on a button. I want to know if there is any way I can check if the element is displayed and click it, if it is not displayed, i want it to continue running the script. my current script keeps getting an error. when the pop up is displayed, my script runs PERFECT. my error takes place on my script at the
onetouch = self.driver.find_element _by_xpath("").

Here is a picture of my error:

        self.driver.get(redirecturl)
        self.driver.implicitly_wait(180)
        login_frame = self.driver.find_element_by_name('injectedUl')
        # switch to frame to access inputs
        self.driver.switch_to.frame(login_frame)
        # we now have access to the inputs
        email = self.driver.find_element_by_id('email')
        password = self.driver.find_element_by_id('password')
        button = self.driver.find_element_by_id('btnLogin')

        # input your email and password below
        email.send_keys('')
        password.send_keys('')
        button.click()
        #############

        onetouch = self.driver.find_element_by_xpath(".//*[@id='memberReview']/div[2]/div/div/div[2]/div[1]/div[1]/a")
        if onetouch.is_displayed():
            time.sleep(2)
            onetouch.click()
        else:
            print "onetouch not present....continuing script"
        button2 = self.driver.find_element_by_id('confirmButtonTop')
        button2.click()
        button3 = self.driver.find_element_by_name('dwfrm_payment_paypal')
        # if you want to test the program without placing an order, delete the button3.click() below this.........
        button3.click

A: Actually find_element_by_xpath always returns either element or throws exception, So if there is no element by provided locator you can't execute is_displayed(). You should try using find_elements_by_xpath instead and check the length as below :-
onetouch = self.driver.find_elements_by_xpath(".//*[@id='memberReview']/div[2]/div/div/div[2]/div[1]/div[1]/a")

    if len(onetouch) > 0:
        time.sleep(2)
        onetouch[0].click()
    else:
        print "onetouch not present....continuing script"
        -------

A: Try following:
from selenium.common.exceptions import NoSuchElementException

try:
    time.sleep(2)
    self.driver.find_element_by_xpath(".//*[@id='memberReview']/div[2]/div/div/div[2]/div[1]/div[1]/a").click()
except NoSuchElementException:
    print "onetouch not present....continuing script"

Александър Усик (), роден на 17 януари 1987 г. в Симферопол, е украински боксьор – бивш абсолютен шампион в полутежка категория за професионалисти и настоящ шампион в тежка категория, притежаващ 4 от 5-те титли по бокс олимпийски шампион от Лондон 2012 в полу тежка категория, световен шампион по бокс (2011) и европейски шампион по бокс (2008).

Усик има три деца. Приятел е с украинските легенди в лека категория Василий Ломаченко и Владимир Кличко.

Ранни години
Александър Усик е роден в Симферопол, Украинска СССР. На 15 играе футбол в академията на местния СК Таврия. През 2002 Усик започва с бокса.

Аматьорски бокс
На Световното първенство през 2011 г. побеждава Артур Бетербиев и Теймур Маммадов и печели световната титла в тежка категория, както и олимпийска квота.

На Летните олимпийски игри 2012 в Лондон Усик печели златен медал, побеждавайки Артур Бетербиев, Тервел Пулев и Клементе Русо.

През октомври 2012 г. Усик официално приключва с аматьорския бокс; подписва договор с WSB (Световни серии по бокс) и преминава в полу-професионалните серии по бокс. Играе сезон за новосъздадения клуб "Украински отомани"..

Професионална кариера
Олимпийският шампион Александър Усик взема решение да премине в професионалния бокс и подписа контракт с компанията на братя Кличко K2 Promotions на 25 септември 2013 г.

На 11 септември 2013 дебютира срещу Фелипе Ромеро с победа с нокаут. Украинецът прави рекорд 4 – 0, преди да се бие за първата си титла (всички победи са с нокаут).

Първа титла
Усик печели интерконтиненталната титла на WBO в полутежка категория след победа с нокаут над южноафриканеца Даниел Бруу. Защитава пояса си преди да се изправи за световната титла.

Шампион на WBO
През юни 2016 Кшищоф Глоуацки е принуден да защитава титлата си срещу Усик. Мачът се състои в Гданск, Полша. Усик печели с единодушно съдийско решение и след това прави две успешни защити

Световни боксови супер серии

Александър Усик срещу Марко Хук
В четвъртфиналния мач на турнира Усик трябва да се бие с Марко Хук в Германия. В мача е заложен пояса на WBO в полутежка категория. Усик защитава колана си с технически нокаут в десетия рунд.

Александър Усик срещу Майрис Бриедис
Победителите от двата полуфинала Усик – Бриедис и Гасиев – Дортикос ще се изправят във финалния мач от турнира. Победителят ще бъде абсолютен шампион в полутежка категория и ще му бъде връчен трофея Мохамед Али и чек от 10 милиона долара.

Срещата се проведе в Рига, Латвия и са заложени поясите на WBC и WBO в полутежка категория.

В началото на мача Бриедис започна добре, но шампионът от Лондон 2012 е по-убедителен във втората половина на мача и спечели 12-рундовата битка и втората си титла на световно ниво. В другия мач Мурат Гасиев победи Юниер Дортикос с нокаут в третия рунд.

Абсолютен шампион – Александър Усик срещу Мурат Гасиев
Олександър Усик и Мурат Гасиев е финалът на уникалния турнир Световни боксови суперсерии в полутежка категория. В допълнение победителят от супер битката в Москва ще получи специалния трофей на името на Мохамед Али, както и чек за $10 млн.

Усик победи Марко Хук и Майрис Бриедис, а Гасиев победи Кжищов Влодарчик и Юниер Дортикос.

Усик доминираше напълно в мача, като разчиташе на своята маневреност и техника, нанесе много удари и не търсеше на всяка цена нокаут, а по скоро победа по точки, докато Гасиев така и не успя да попречи на плана му. В крайна сметка украинецът категорично спечели, след като съдиите написаха в картите си 120:108, 119:109, 119:109.

Договор с Matchroom Boxing
Олександър Усик подписа промоционален договор с британската промоутърска компания Matchroom Boxing. "Matchroom" ще представлява Усик, заедно с K2 Promotions. Това сътрудничество се очаква да доведе до организирането на битка между Усик и бившият шампион в полутежка категория Тони Белю.

Cory was extremely knowledgeable and honest with the sale of our home. Being from out of state, he helped with repairs/handymen and made sure they were done correctly. He is very hands on and keeps you in the loop through the entire process. He is always there to explain something if you don't quite understand and his staff is so nice and helpful. I would buy and sell again from Cory! Great experience!

Q: Jquery ul li item placement after removed I am currently working on a piece of UI code that when a photo is uploaded, it uploads dynamically using a template. With that an image is re-sized in a small square li element. The purpose for that is the more people upload photos, the top li act as a management panel to scroll to the image they want to edit or delete.
I have everything working except for the issue when removing the image from the li. I use the dynamically created li index to match the top li index in order to scroll to the correct image. When I delete the image it deletes JUST that index position. Ideally I would like the image to move over the index and remain sorted.
-Html
(supposed to look like this)

1

2

3

4

5

6

7

-If Upload it will look like this

 "index 0"

  "index 1"

  "index 2"

  "index 3"

5

6

7

-Template attaching to main UL

** The problem is if I try to delete an image at let's say index 2, I would like all images from 2 on to collapse to the index that has just been removed.
-Code I toyed with so far
$.fn.exchangePositionWith = function (selector) {
               var other = $(selector);
                this.after(other.clone());
                other.after(this).remove();
          };

 $("#output2").on("click", ".deletimg", function () {
                var value = $(this).attr("data-id");
                var Id = 0;
                var Id = $(this).closest("li").index();
                $('#thumb-top li:eq(' + (Id) + ')').find('img').remove();
                $('#thumb-top li:eq(' + (Id) + ')').text(Id);
                $('#thumb-top li:eq(' + (Id) + ')').exchangePositionWith('#thumb-top li:eq(' + (Id - 1) + ')');
                // $("#thumb-top li:eq(' + (Id) + ')')".exchangePositionWith("#thumb-top li:eq(i)");
                // $('#thumb-top li:eq(' + (Id) + ')').find('img').text(Id);

                alert(Id);
            });

 var srcid = $('#thumb-top li:eq(' + (dataid) + ')').find('img').attr('src');
                var srcid2 = $('#thumb-top li:eq(' + (dataid) + ')').next().find('img').attr('src');
                var srcposition = $('#thumb-top li:eq(' + (dataid) + ')').next().index()
                var srcposition2 = $('#thumb-top li:eq(' + (dataid) + ')').nextAll().index()
                if (typeof srcid2 === 'undefined') {
                    $('#thumb-top li:eq(' + (dataid) + ')').find('img').remove();
                    $('#thumb-top').appendTo(srcposition2);
                };
                $('#thumb-top li:eq(' + (srcposition) + ')').find('img').remove();
                $('#thumb-top li:eq(' + (dataid) + ')').find('img').attr('src', srcid2);

-Farthest I got was to remove and replace images that were right by each other in terms of indexes.

A: I figured it out. All I needed was two arrays and two for loops. One array for getting all the LI siblings. So my for loop iterated over a constant amount of LI elements using jquery to find img. I would come up with results in the first couple of LI elements for example index 1,2,3 and four in my array will contain a path to an image. If I delete an image from an LI, I use the second for loop to splice the the first array to remove the "undefined" values. This will always give me results where if I delete an image path in the middle of an LI, that will get removed and re appended to the the main UL by filtering it through the Arrays.

Szászkeresztúr (, ) falu  Romániában, Erdélyben, Brassó megyében.

Fekvése
Segesvártól 32 km-re délkeletre, az E60-as út mellett fekszik.

Nevének eredete
Mint minden Keresztúr, a Szent Kereszt tiszteletére emelt templomáról kapta nevét. Német neve azonos jelentésű, román neve pedig a német nyelvjárási ejtésből való. Először 1332-ben Cruz, majd 1356-ban Kereztur, 1532-ben Kreycz, 1808-ban Szász-Keresztúr alakban írták.

Története
Szász lakossággal települt a 13. század második felében. 1332 és 1474 között a kerci apátság birtokai közé tartozott. Mátyás 1474-ben a nagyszebeni Szent Szűz plébániatemplomnak adományozta, így a szebeni városháza fennhatósága alá került. 1496–97-ben a tized kérdésében pereskedett a várossal. 1500 körül már Segesvárszék falvai között találjuk.

1755-ben a hatóságok a falut jelölték ki kényszerlakhelyül a karintiai kriptoprotestáns Hans Kleinsasser számára, aki ezt megelőzően Alvincen újrakeresztelkedett. Őt 1761-ben több alvinci család követte. Az 1762-ben már 46 fő hutterita közösséget (Bruderhof) hozott létre. Miután alvinci társaikat ebben az évben rekatolizálták, elhatározták, hogy átkelnek a Kárpátokon és Havasalföldre menekülnek a vallási üldözés elől. Többszöri sikertelen kísérlet után végül 1767. október 3-án sikerült a szökés az állandó felügyelet alól az időközben 67 fősre növekedett keresztúri közösségnek és több napi vándorlás után átjutnia a határon, ahol a Bukaresthez közeli Ciorogârlában telepedtek le. Itt csupán három és fél évet töltöttek, végül az Orosz Birodalomban találtak hosszabb távon menedékre. Innen kerültek később az amerikai kontinensre. Bár a kis közösség titkos megbízottai felkeresték az erőszakkal katolizált észak-magyarországi és erdélyi hutteritákat, végül csak kevesen csatlakoztak hozzájuk. Így elmondható, hogy a világ mai hutteritáinak nagy része a hat évig létezett szászkeresztúri Bruderhof lakóinak leszármazottja.

1750-ben 343 háztartást írtak össze benne, míg evangélikus egyházközsége 1766-ban 330 férfit és 387 asszonyt számlált. 1876-ban Nagy-Küküllő vármegyéhez csatolták. A Németországba kivándorolt szászok 1981-ben hozták létre egyesületüket.

1880-ban 915 lakosából 599 volt német, 159 román, 135 cigány és 22 magyar anyanyelvű; 595 evangélikus, 266 ortodox, 32 római katolikus és 15 református vallású.

2002-ben 657 lakosából 489 volt román, 119 cigány, 35 magyar és 13 német nemzetiségű; 618 ortodox, 12 unitárius és 10 evangélikus vallású.

Látnivalók
 Evangélikus temploma 1810–13-ban, klasszicista stílusban épült. 15. századi, hat-nyolc méter magas, ovális várfal veszi körül. Négy bástyatornya közül három áll ma is. A déli 1925-ben beomlott, a délkeleti 1955-ben szintén összedőlt ugyan, de újjáépítették. A bejáratot kapubástya védi. A nyugati és északnyugati oldalon, ahol a talaj magasabb, egy második fal is védte. Ezt a 19. században lebontották, helyére magtárat építettek. Nyugaton 1908-ban vágtak kocsibejárót, a halottaskocsi számára.

I don't know where this error come from. Is this related to the usage of resources ?

A: If I had to bet (but its just a wild guess) I had say that the pod was killed due to running out of memory (OOM Killed).
The ChannelClosedException is a symptom, not the problem.
Its kind of hard to debug because the agent pod is being deleted, you can try kubectl get events in the relevant namespace, but events only last for 1 hour by default.

This book chronicles the experiences of my mother's brother, Captain Benjamin Chipchase Clayton MC, in the Great War. Ben Clayton was an art teacher from County Durham. He left 40 "Sketches from the Front", drawn and dated during his 18 months in the Line. The Colonel of his battalion kept a diary, edited and published in 1964 as "General Jack's Diary".
Ben appears in the book several times. It is thus possible to link the dated sketches to events in the book, and so to compare Colonel Jack's written account with Ben's drawings.
On the 16th August 1917, during the Battle of Passchendaele, Captain Clayton led a Forlorn Hope in which his depleted battalion, the 2nd Battalion of the Prince of Wales's Own West Yorkshire Regiment took its objective, the Zonnebeke Redoubt, before being driven back six hours later.
Captain Clayton was awarded a posthumous MC for his actions that day.
This book was written by David Britton, a retired surgeon and a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons. David now lives in Bath, England.


When it comes to job descriptions in a law practice, say what you mean and mean what you say. It's probably more important than you think.
Having a comprehensive job description for every position in a law office is essential for a number of reasons. First, it is a prerequisite to an objective and efficient bonus program, by which staff people are told specifically what they are expected to do and how performance of those responsibilities will be evaluated to qualify.
Another reason for detailed job descriptions is that when employees understand what they should be doing and the criteria by which they are evaluated, they are more likely to be committed to their roles, and their performances are more likely to yield positive results. Moreover, they are less likely to resort to legal action for perceived unfairness.
The absence of such descriptions, in contrast, promotes inconsistency, threatens objectivity, and opens the firm to allegations of unfairness.
Descriptions should include the specific, significant tasks of each position and the performance standards by which the accomplishment of the tasks is judged.
Staff people can, of course, make the extra effort beyond their job descriptions that can justify extra rewards — from volunteering to make collection phone calls on overdue accounts to using personal time for reading up on law firm management and suggesting ways to implement the lessons learned.
Job descriptions also are critical in making new hires. Hiring somebody is one of the most difficult challenges, but a job description can make it considerably easier.
From the lawyer's perspective, it begins by defining what you need, by asking yourself what you do now that could be delegated effectively, and to whom you could delegate it.
The principle is to delegate to the lowest level of competence you can so that your firm achieves the best rate of return on each person's work. That means that while you do the work that only you can do — serving your existing clients and marketing your practice to potential new ones — you are simultaneously leveraging skills of others at a cost of $X and charging that work out at a $Y billable rate so that there is a profit ($Y-$X) to the practice.
When creating job descriptions, list the characteristics of the ideal candidate to whom the particular work can be delegated.
For example, if it is an office administrator, you should have precise standards for document and file management, technology and software literacy, communication skills, and professionalism. If it is a paralegal, it means defining the precise areas to be handled, such as intakes, pleadings, research, depositions, summaries and so forth, and the skills required to handle those tasks.
Knowing what your needs are and what it takes to meet them is essential to finding the right employees.
Depending on the practice's size, the search process may be conducted in various ways. That could include in-house personnel or an outside agency or, in the case of the smallest firms and solo practices, by the lawyers themselves.
The search process could involve use of both print and online job search and job posting services as well as referrals from networks of colleagues, clients and bar associations.
Of course, even with a perfect job description and search process, remember that the hiring decision itself is ultimately a matter of gut feeling about the candidates and how they match up to your requirements and fit with the firm's culture.


Today I unveil a new blog series for GrimmGirl. As you can see by the title I'll periodically be doing posts where I chose an anime for my husband to watch and then write up his reactions.
These are meant to be pretty fun and light hearted posts because my husband doesn't really watch anime. He's seen some Dragon Ball but that's about it. So I thought it would be kind of fun to get his reactions to shows since it's a bit outside of his element. Plus it was really fun to watch anime together for once!
I decide for his first anime to go with Yuri on Ice because it's currently the winter Olympics and I'm a pretty big fan. I watch ice skating whenever it's being broadcasted and because of that so does my husband. We both thought it would be fun to watch an ice skating anime since we already enjoy watching ice skating together.
So without further ado here are my husband reactions to Yuri on Ice.
To be fair I'm pretty sure that surprised all of us the first time we saw that.
I think everyone can relate to Yuri at one point or another.
Honestly I think Yuri is a really relatable character and his personality and struggles with confidence is one of the reason this show had such a strong fan base in my opinion.
Ironically this is the face my husband makes whenever Yurio insults Yuri.
I feel like alot of Yurio fangirl are getting ready to curb stomp my husband right now… but what can I say? My husband ended up becoming a big Yuri fan and anytime any character said anything even remotely mean to Yuri he was up in arms.
For the record by the end of the series my husband became 100% convinced that Viktor and Yuri were dating and cannot believe that anyone woul d say otherwise. He seriously will not hear a word against the idea that some people do not consider their relationship canon.
Adam was Yuri and Yurio during this scene I swear!
He said this as Yuri was training to get back into shape. Sidenote my husband hated how eveyone was on him about his weight in the beginning. As he pointed out obviously Yuri could still skate as he was able to mimic Viktor's routine so they shouldn't make it seem like he's to big to skate. He wasn't a big fan of the message it might send to others. Making them feel like if they were a certain weight they shouldn't even try to skate. This was probably his only real this was his only real beef with the show.
Apparently my husband is channeling his inner Viktor.
Adam was not happy that Yurio beat Yuri XD he was really happy when JJ folded under the pressure though. Sorry JJ fans!
Like I said this is just post for fun! So in the spirit of having a good time comment below with some of your reactions to Yuri on Ice. Did you have any of the same reactions as my husband?
Lol I was actually surprised by his reaction 🤣 He got into it way more than I thought he would! He really couldn't take it when Yurio wad mean. He did like Yurio more than JJ though.
It's funny because I'm so used to it now it doesn't phase me at all. So it was pretty hilarious to see a newbies reaction.
This was a fun read! Can't wait to read more of your husband's thoughts.
It was really fun to do together. I'm already trying to think of what our next one should be.
It was pretty funny explaining it to him! Bahaha he was so confused.
Your husband sounds so awesome !
I'm so glad he liked it! And I too get upset when seeing everyone tell Yuri he was too heavy to skate. I don't think anyone really points that out, but it's been something I always found a bit unnecessary too.
I kind of love that Yuri didn't win because I think if he'd gotten the gold it would have changed the overall theme of the anime from love and personal growth to just another sporting success story (not he wasn't pretty successful being second in the world and all).
I love sowing anime to non-anime fans and I really enjoyed reading the reactions here, particularly to the nose bleed, because it is something you end up having to explain to people that haven't become desensitised to the cliche.
I feel the same. Him not winning really helped set up the chance for a second season. Plus I think it was more realistic. You don't get over this types of nerves all in one season. I think now he'll appreciate it more as a possibility. Plus it helped sparked Viktor's ambition to comeback.
Bahaha the nosebleed reaction was perfect.
Agreed! Yuri is such a great character!
I'm glad you started this!

The Spirit of St. Louis Women's Fund (SOS) put together a GREAT program last night for their Discovering Our Community Event 2012. The focus of the program was early childhood education and the audience got the opportunity to hear from a distinguished panel of experts in this subject area.
These speakers shared information about the history of early childhood education in Missouri, evidence of how early childhood education results in better test scores later in life, statistics about how investments in early childhood education are a long term investment in the local workforce, and how local CEO's can advocate for early childhood education funding with our state legislators.
Did you know that the first kindergarten in the country was founded in Missouri yet even to this day kindergarten is not required in Missouri?
Did you know that some parents will forgo a pay increase at work just to insure they don't cross the "income cliff" and risk losing their access to free early childhood education?
Did you know that Missouri ranks close to last in terms of childcare subsidies and eligibility?
The panel shared a ton of great information and statistics with the audience and their presentations were only bolstered by the strong comments and questions from the audience. Audience members shared information about how strong early childhood education programs changed their lives and the lives of their kids.
The Parents as Teachers program got a lot of time on the agenda at the program. For those of you who don't know, Parents as Teachers was founded in Missouri and has now spread to all 50 states and internationally. Joy described it as "Missouri's gift to the world".
Elizabeth and Doug shared information about the Regional Early Childhood Council and it's goal of creating a coordinated early childhood system in Missouri. We look forward to seeing the strategic plan that will be released by that group in the coming months.
The out of town speaker, Jonathan Freiden, brought a unique perspective to the table. He is the founder and CEO of the Alliance for Childhood Education (ACE). ACE is an exclusive group of Kansas and Missouri business leaders who support investments in quality early childhood education. It is founded by business leaders for business leaders. His organization works with business leaders to educate them about the economic benefits of early childhood education to have them in turn educate our elected officials about the importance of passing legislation that supports this cause. While most of the work of ACE is being done out of Kansas City at this point, there is some momentum to start a St. Louis based chapter. The Gateway Center for Giving intends to support those efforts through our newly created Early Childhood Funders Affinity Group.
Congratulations to SOS for a great program! We look forward to next year's event.
SLCEC's Rasmussen provided perspective on economic impact of early childhood education @STLco_Growth.

Q: Counting PDF pages in ROR with Docsplit I need to get the count of pages in PDF files stored in Ruby on Rails 5.2.3 ActiveStorage using Docsplit.
I'm uploading PDF documents using Ruby on Rails ActiveStorage. I understand these documents are stored as a blob. I was hoping I could pass the reference to the PDF file to Docsplit with something like:
pages = Docsplit.extract_length(@car_record.crecord)

But the above resulted in an error:
no implicit conversion of ActiveStorage::Attached::One into String

A: Docsplit.extract_length expects a string (presumably a path to a local file), and @car_record.crecord returns an ActiveRecord object.
You should be able to do something like,
file = @car_record.crecord.download_blob_to_tempfile
Docsplit.extract_length(file.path)

Edit: ActiveStorage::Downloading is being removed in 6.1. Try something like the following:
tempfile = Tempfile.new
tempfile.binmode

begin
  @car_record.crecord.download { |chunk| tempfile.write(chunk) }
  tempfile.flush
  tempfile.rewid
ensure
  tempfile.close!
end

Docsplit.extract_length(tempfile.path)

A$AP Ferg + Artist Felipe Pantone Discuss Their New Power Collaboration For Hennessy

On Tuesday night at Industria in New York, A$AP Ferg and contemporary graffiti artist Felipe Pantone came together to unveil their new collaboration for Hennessy—the REMIXED cocktail kit, as well as Pantone's new Limited Edition Series bottle. The latter is based on the artist's original artwork "W-3 Dimensional Three Stars," a piece inspired by Hennessy's past. The former is a reimagination of the traditional Hennessy V.S cocktail—an homage to Pantone's bottle aesthetic and vision of "Remixing the Present." The Dimensional cocktail—available August 1—is vibrant in color and delivers a nuanced taste that marries both artists' minds and palates. We chatted with Ferg and Pantone about their collaboration, why partnering with Hennessy is the perfectly balanced fit and what new projects both artists have in the pipeline.
Can you give us a few reasons why your brand (and you personally) aligns with the Hennessy brand so perfectly? I.e. why is Hennessy so perfect for the "King of New York" (and do you still stand by that? If not, how would you refer to yourself)?
I am the King of New York. The partnership with Hennessy fits perfectly because they are the best in cognac and it only makes sense the best rapper in NY should align himself with a reputable brand. They also have a long line of lineage that I can relate to. My dad created the bad boy label, and my grandmother is known for her work within the community.
What can you tell us about your upcoming release?
Floor seats is amazing it's the floor seats to my life. I have dope collabs/features such as Rico Nasty, City Girls, Asian Doll and my own artist Antha. This project is about uplifting women, and I'm showing creating anthems with these women.
What are your top five luxuries in life at the moment?
1 The new pinky ring I designed.
2. Suit collection
3. Brand new house.
4. Celine bags.
5. Grills, iced out in white gold and white gold.
Felipe Pantone
What does remixing the present mean to you?
I think it's very important, I mean with my art career and everything, it was very important for me to study art history. So ever since I realized what happened before in art, I could do something about it and figure out what I wanted to do. So, it's important to remix the present, I mean, also the past to come up with something interesting. I think Hennessy has been doing ever since 1775. They've been like a very traditional brand but nowadays they like supporting young people like myself and many other artists and are trying to remix their product and try to come up with new ideas and new concepts. So Yes, it's important to see what's been done before, but also add something to create a new present.
What would you say was your inspiration for the new Hennessy Bottle design?
We started collaborating over a year ago, and so I went to Cognac and Paris a bunch of times and I got to understand how they make the product. I managed to see all the archives. It was very interesting to go, especially as n visual artist and a designer, to get to see all that graphic heritage that's been going for like a couple of centuries. It's been very interesting. So I got a few elements after browsing the archives, like the three stars, because Hennessy Very Special used to be called Hennessy three stars, and also the quilted pattern that's been very present all over in the design which is something they used in the past, and they still use in the [macaron/market] over here. And everything obviously through my perspective and my vision which is like what at least I try to convey which is a very present aesthetic. And that's how I made my remix. I made specific use of elements that I never use in my own work that I made for them, and also It was really fun playing with the logo. I usually don't do a lot of things with letters that I don't create. And this time I used the logo, and The beauty of it was that they let me distort it. Which is something that is very present in my work. I'm all about dynamics and transformation, distortion, perception. Most of my works deal with perception in an important way and the fact that they let me distort the logo for me was very very cool.
Why and how would you say that art and alcohol play off of one another?
I guess alcohol has to come in a package, the same as many other things. Graphic design is very important to support what's in the package. Say like perfumes, or anything else. I think it's very cool to support what's inside with graphics and hopefully, you get to inspire even the taste itself and different things the brand may want to communicate with the product. I think they play well together.

(Proverbs 16:20 KJV) He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: and whoso trusteth in the LORD, happy is he.
One of the contributions of believing Christians to our culture is a goal of universal literacy. Not only have Protestant churches been on the cutting edge of higher education but they have been working to educate the masses. Think about the Ivy League colleges. Harvard and Princeton were started to educate ministers for the church. Even USC was started as a church sponsored college. The original purpose of Sunday School was to educate the children of England who were growing up illiterate because of the institution of child labor. Sunday was the only day they had off so believers started Sunday Schools.
The emphasis was on each believer being able to read the Bible and understand for himself what God was saying. Each was to be able to "handle wisely" (give attention NASB)" (7919a) the "word" (1697). The NASB which gives it better than the KJV here. It is interesting to note that the expectation of being able to read the scripture goes back to Old Testament times.
So? Rejoice is your ability to read. Allow that to be a channel in which the wisdom and direction of God can move through your eyes and mind to your heart.
