This video, courtesy of Karl Bester, is the demolition of a 14 story building in the inner city of Pretoria. The site has a higher education building on one side and a heritage church on the other. A NWNP geotextile was used extensively, both as shard capture at detonation points and to protect the university building but most impressively a short time before the blast a curtain of geotextile was raised by two mobile cranes to protect the adjacent church and its stained glass windows from damage. It took 3 seconds from first blast to total collapse into a mound of rubble – and the adjacent buildings suffered no damage. The blast curtain of geotextile retained rubble and spill, as evident at the toe of the curtain in particular. Watch the demolition.

Everyone's heard the old tale of eating so much candies and chocolates that your teeth fall out. It's what almost every parent says to help make their lives easier when it comes to dentist visits, as well as their children's lives, who probably hate going to the dentist anyway. But what some people, adults and kids alike, may not know is that there are foods that are considered "healthy," but can do just as much damage to your teeth as those candies and chocolates! Your dentist in Novi MI, Dr. Tariq, is here to let patients know about some foods that are considered healthy, but can harm your oral health, as well.
It's well known that coffee and some teas aren't healthy for your teeth because they stain the color, but this goes for many other foods and drinks, as well. Sodas are one of the most popular, harmful drinks because of the large amounts of sugar and acidity that each sip holds. These quickly erode your tooth enamel, which protects the surface of your teeth to avoid this issue.
And, while many fruits like blueberries, raspberries and cherries can be good for your diet, they're dark enough to stain your teeth, too. These colors are being absorbed in your mouth, which makes them more likely to stick around for much longer. Other foods like marinara sauce and soy sauce can easily stain, as well. Think about how difficult it is to get those stains out of your clothes—then think about those stains on your teeth.
Most popular sour fruits like lemons, oranges, limes, grapefruits can be extremely delicious, but also extremely dangerous. Though fresh, the natural acidity in these fruits can break down your tooth enamel faster than you may think. On the other hand, eating dried fruits aren't going to be too helpful, either. All of the liquid has been taken out of them, which means that they've been packed with an enormous amount of sugar concentration to give it a better taste. These dried fruits can stick to your teeth and be a pain to get out, so choose your snacks wisely.
Certain fruit juices and sports drinks that contain fruity flavors contain a large amount of sugar that won't energize someone, but rather slow them down. If you're looking for an energy boost, then stick to water—it's refreshing and will only benefit your health instead of battling against it. If you can't avoid juice, then make sure to look for juices that have no artificial sugar added.
Talk to your dentist in Novi MI about other foods and drinks that you should avoid if you want to take proper care of your teeth. Contact Dr. Tariq by calling this number (248) 624-2701 or by clicking here to request an appointment today.

Q: Refactoring several attribute fields at the same time I have some data from the field survey. In the field, I write down integers that I want to expand afterward. What I do is using the field calculator and something like:
CASE
WHEN A is 1 THEN 'foo'
WHEN A is 2 THEN 'bar'
ELSE A
END

I have a lot of attribute fields that I have to process and it is a pain doing it this way. Is there a possibility of achieving this in batch?

A: You can use pyqgis with a dictionary:
Change first four lines:
lyr = QgsProject.instance().mapLayersByName('ok_ak_riks')[0]
sourcefield = 'A'
destfield = 'abcd'
remap = {1:'foo', 2:'bar'}

idxdest = lyr.fields().indexFromName(destfield)
idxsource = lyr.fields().indexFromName(sourcefield)
attrmap = {}

for f in lyr.getFeatures():
    if f[sourcefield] in remap:
        attrmap[f.id()] = {idxdest:remap[f[sourcefield]]}
    else:
        attrmap[f.id()] = {idxdest:f[sourcefield]}

lyr.dataProvider().changeAttributeValues(attrmap)

A: You can use "Refactor Fields" tool.

*

*Specify field Type as Text for the fields you need to change.

*

*Copy the expression to the fields and change the field names in the expression. (I recommend using expression window or a text editor (Notepad) to edit the expression. Because when you edit a character, the cursor goes to the end of the line, unexpectedly)

Trains to East Croydon
East Croydon Station
Few places represent Britain's transition from manufacturing superpower to retail heaven than Croydon. The world's first commercial rail, the horse-drawn Surrey Iron Railway, opened here in 1803, but it was the passenger line, which opened in 1839, that really altered Croydon's modern-day fortunes. By the early 1900s, the population of the town had increased fourteen-fold, as London's middle classes fled the capital, and Croydon became the commuter town of choice. The Croydon Corporation Act of 1956 led to further enhancement, the local council using their new powers of development to forge an urban initiative based on commerce rather than industry. Much of the Brutalist architecture of the time can be found between Wellesley Road and East Croydon station. A few minutes from the station are the old brick warehouses, a reminder of the town's car-manufacturing and metal-working past, which stand in the shadow of Whitgift Centre, the biggest shopping mall in London until 2008 and very much a staple of Croydon's future.

Barbara Arrowsmith Young was born with severe learning disabilities that caused teachers to label her slow, stubborn or worse As a child, she read and wrote everything backward, struggled to process concepts in language, continually got lost, and was physically uncoordinated She could make no sense of an analogue clock But by relying on her formidable memory and iron wiBarbara Arrowsmith Young was born with severe learning disabilities that caused teachers to label her slow, stubborn or worse As a child, she read and wrote everything backward, struggled to process concepts in language, continually got lost, and was physically uncoordinated She could make no sense of an analogue clock But by relying on her formidable memory and iron will, she made her way to graduate school, where she chanced upon research that inspired her to invent cognitive exercises to fix her own brain The Woman Who Changed Her Brain interweaves her personal tale with riveting case histories from her than thirty years of working with both children and adults.Recent discoveries in neuroscience have conclusively demonstrated that, by engaging in certain mental tasks or activities, we actually change the structure of our brains from the cells themselves to the connections between cells The capability of nerve cells to change is known as neuroplasticity, and Arrowsmith Young has been putting it into practice for decades With great inventiveness, after combining two lines of research, Barbara developed unusual cognitive calisthenics that radically increased the functioning of her weakened brain areas to normal and, in some areas, even above normal levels She drew on her intellectual strengths to determine what types of drills were required to target the specific nature of her learning problems, and she managed to conquer her cognitive deficits Starting in the late 1970s, she has continued to expand and refine these exercises, which have benefited thousands of individuals Barbara founded Arrowsmith School in Toronto in 1980 and then the Arrowsmith Program to train teachers and to implement this highly effective methodology in schools all over North America Her work is revealed as one of the first examples of neuroplasticity s extensive and practical application The idea that self improvement can happen in the brain has now caught fire.The Woman Who Changed Her Brain powerfully and poignantly illustrates how the lives of children and adults struggling with learning disorders can be dramatically transformed This remarkable book by a brilliant pathbreaker deepens our understanding of how the brain works and of the brain s profound impact on how we participate in the world Our brains shape us, but this book offers clear and hopeful evidence of the corollary we can shape our brains.
I thought this was a blatant advertisement for the school run by the author - full of case studies which were very repetitive, and with no real information on what the patients actually did to improve their situation.
As a teacher of children with disabilities, I have always been interested in brain functioning. This nonfiction book was encouraging, as it spoke of re-training the brain and forcing neurons to fire and wire together, bringing dramatic improvements to people's quality of life. It makes me want to visit an Arrowsmith school!
2.5 stars if I could , as I don't think it is particularly well written. I read this book for educational purposes e author has founded a school in Canada ( The Arrowsmith School ) where the program is reportedly achieving amazing result. The whole subject of neuroplasticity and 'retraining ' the brain is fascinating.
The title is accurate, as these are inspiring stories. It gives me more insight into some of the odd ways my brain works.I wish she had included more information about the methods for diagnosing specific problems and the exercises she developed to treat them. I suspect she was being careful, as people might use this as a self-help book to diagnose and treat themselves, which they could benefit from professional help. Although that is what she did in her own life, with great success.
I received this book to review.I was really excited to read this book, as I liked the idea.I didn't finish the book (the printed edition - the printing of words was tiny; which also made the book more difficult to read without glasses)Found out a little about herself then she would say about a student's having difficulties then after doing "the" exercises they accomplished amazing results.There was no explanation of exercises but has made me more aware.
Really interesting and thought-provoking, although the anecdotal format provided a limited understanding of the context around the author's methods (i.e. no addressing failures, discussion of where the method doesn't work and why). Definitely inspired me to read more in the area of neuroplasticity applied to education; the author's journey is so impressive and the stories told are very moving.
Fascinating, insightful, personal and illuminating. A fantastic book on the brain, learning and disabilities - and the redeeming power of the author's determination and spirit to transform our understanding of the brain.
I thought that their will be information or tips to how can we overcome some deficits.It's good because it contains a lot of valuable information here What I don't like about it: is that it commercializes Arrow-Smith School !
Very frustrating and disappointing. Too many case studies without any details of the actual techniques used to produce the change. Very infomercial like. Regret buying this book.

A look at notable state supreme court races in 2016
By The Associated Press and Gene Johnson |
PUBLISHED: November 1, 2016 at 2:04 pm | UPDATED: July 27, 2018 at 8:09 am
At least half a dozen states have high-profile elections for their state supreme courts this year, and partisan groups are spending hundreds of thousands of dollar to influence the races. A look at some of the more notable court elections this year:
Three Iowa Supreme Court justices are facing voters for the first time since they joined their colleagues in unanimously ruling to legalize gay marriage seven years ago.
The ruling drew the ire of Christian conservatives, who spent $1 million to oust three of the court's members in 2010. Those justices are the only ones removed from the bench by voters since the adoption of a retention election system in 1962.
This time around, with gay marriage legalized nationally by the U.S. Supreme Court in 2015, no aggressive campaign has targeted Chief Justice Mark Cady or Justices Daryl Hecht and Brent Appel. They need a simple majority to remain on the bench.
The three have refused to campaign for their jobs because they believe the court should be above politics.
No justice has been voted out of office since Kansas adopted retention elections for its state Supreme Court in 1960. This year could test that, with five justices facing yes-or-no questions about whether they should remain on the court.
Conservatives are trying to remove four: Justices Carol Beier and Dan Biles, who were appointed by former Democratic Gov. Kathleen Sebelius; and Justice Marla Luckert and Chief Justice Lawton Nuss, who were appointed by former Gov. Bill Graves, a moderate Republican.
The fifth, Justice Caleb Stegall, is a 2014 appointee of conservative GOP Gov. Sam Brownback and has not been targeted.
The court's critics have objected to its rulings in capital punishment cases, including a decision overturning the death penalty for two brothers convicted of murdering four people in 2000 in Wichita. Independent advertising criticizing the justices has focused on that case, with a group called Kansans for Justice spending $276,000 on television ads, according to the nonprofit Center for Public Integrity.
But the court also has other important business before it, including an education-funding lawsuit filed in 2010 and a lawsuit challenging a 2015 ban on the most common second-trimester abortion procedure.
Another group, Kansans for Fair Courts, is spearheading the campaign to keep all five justices in office. It has support from four former governors from both parties and has run nearly $223,000 in television ads across the state since mid-October.
In Louisiana, justices of the seven-member Supreme Court are elected to 10-year terms. One incumbent is running unopposed, while two candidates are running for an open seat from southwestern Louisiana.
As of late last month, Marilyn Castle, a state district court judge in Lafayette, had raised more than $500,000 compared with more than $1 million raised by her opponent, James Genovese, a state appeals court judge. In addition, the race has drawn some $785,000 in outside TV spending, according to the Brennan Center for Justice at New York University Law School.
Both candidates are Republicans, but Castle is the favorite of the state's business lobbyists and the oil and gas industry, which is concerned about expensive "legacy lawsuits" that seek money to repair environmental damage.
A group called the Center for Individual Freedom, which does not disclose its donors, has spent nearly $500,000 on Castle's behalf. Its ads have accused Genovese of siding with sexual predators. Another group attacking Genovese, Citizens for Judicial Excellence, is backed by a prominent charter schools supporter. A lawsuit challenging public funding of charter schools is making its way through the courts.
For the first time in decades, a state political party has contributed in Montana's nonpartisan Supreme Court race, evidence of the high stakes involved in an election that could set a fundraising record.
The Montana Democratic Party has kicked in more than $60,000 to support District Judge Dirk Sandefur. Outside money has also poured in for his opponent, former University of Montana law professor Kristen Juras.
The amount spent is expected to top the $1.6 million record set in 2014.
The Republican State Leadership Committee, which is spending heavily to elect conservatives in down-ballot races around the country, has spent more than $225,000 to oppose Sandefur.
Montana's chief justice and two dozen other judges have criticized ads attacking Sandefur as soft on crime, saying they threaten the integrity of the judiciary.
Montanans for Liberty and Justice, a group backed largely by trial lawyers, has spent more than $350,000 on Sandefur's behalf, running ads accusing Juras of being beholden to out-of-state corporations. Juras, who is endorsed by the NRA and Montana Chamber of Commerce, touts her experience representing farmers, ranchers and small business owners.
Justices registered as Republicans hold a 4-3 edge on North Carolina's officially nonpartisan Supreme Court. That power balance would tip in the Democrats' favor for the first time since 1998 if Superior Court Judge Mike Morgan succeeds in his bid to unseat two-term Republican Justice Bob Edmunds.
In the past two years, the court's Republican majority has upheld the use of taxpayer money for student scholarships at private schools, as well as the redrawing of congressional and legislative districts in a manner that federal appeals courts later struck down as racial gerrymandering.
The campaign has drawn heavy outside spending, including more than $905,000 from North Carolina Families First, a liberal group running ads critical of Edmunds. One ad says Edmunds supported "his party's discrimination" by writing the 2014 opinion upholding a district drawn "to segregate African-American voters."
The business-friendly North Carolina Chamber is running a largely biographical TV ad supporting Edmunds. The group is bankrolled by a $1 million contribution from a legal reform arm of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
In a race for an open high court seat, Cincinnati appeals court judge Pat DeWine, a Republican, has booked almost $644,000 in TV ads, according to an analysis by the Brennan Center. DeWine's opponent, Warren Democratic appeals court judge Cynthia Rice, released her first TV ad Monday, but no spending figure was immediately available.
Democrats say DeWine will face a monumental conflict of interest if elected because his father is Attorney General Mike DeWine. DeWine says he has been assured through legal opinions that he would have to step aside only if his father personally argued a case.
In its annual ratings of judicial candidates, the Ohio State Bar Association rated Rice as highly recommended and DeWine as not recommended. The association does not explain its ratings.
In a second contested race, Democratic Judge John P. O'Donnell, a Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court judge, is running against Cincinnati appeals court judge Pat Fischer.
Chief Justice Barbara Madsen faces a challenge from Kittitas County Prosecutor Greg Zempel, and Justice Mary Yu is defending her seat against retired Gonzaga University law professor David DeWolf. But the most expensive matchup is between first-term Justice Charlie Wiggins and Dave Larson, a municipal court judge in the Seattle suburb of Federal Way.
Outside groups backed by billionaires have dumped $900,000 into the race on Larson's behalf in the final weeks of the campaign, swamping the $236,000 Wiggins has raised this year. Larson also has backing from the Republican Party.
What's driving the money? Wiggins, who supported Democratic gubernatorial candidates in his prior career as an appellate lawyer, joined court majorities in striking down a state law that allowed public funding of charter schools and a voter-approved anti-tax measure. He also supported the decision to hold the state in contempt and fine it $100,000 per day for failing to pay enough for public schools.
Larson says such rulings have improperly imposed political pressure on the Legislature, making it more difficult to solve tough problems.
Even though Wiggins has a stronger rating from the state prosecutors association than Larson, the advertising against Wiggins has painted him as soft on crime, citing one ruling on police searches and mischaracterizing another about whether criminal defendants who post bond can have guns. A group that included retired state Supreme Court Chief Justice Gerry Alexander and former Seattle U.S. Attorney John McKay called the ads improper and dishonest.
Associated Press writers David Pitt in Des Moines, Iowa; John Hanna in Topeka, Kansas; Kevin McGill in New Orleans; Gary Robertson in Raleigh, North Carolina; and Andrew Welsh-Huggins in Columbus, Ohio, contributed to this report.

Guys, this one struck me. Hard. With a new baby on the way, I totally understand the need for baby wraps, especially with two other kids at home. What mom doesn't want (and need!) free hands during the day.
And then, I read this message written my Molly Landis. It took my breath away.
I don't normally post this kind of stuff or personal information but after sharing this story with close friends I am urged to share this story. On Tuesday I was involved in an accident where my stove burner exploded and sent a fire ball to my face, neck and chest. This caused open wounds and burns to my face and chest. Yes, this is horrible and painful but I haven't been able to stop thinking about how lucky I truly am. As a new mom I often wear my sweet 4 week old in my wrap carrier (we know we all love being hands free especially with a needy babe)..on this particular night a guardian angel was watching over me and my baby bc for the first time in her life she fell asleep in her swing and I wasn't wearing her while I was in the kitchen. The worst of my burns is to my chest- exactly where her precious little head would have been laying if she were in her carrier.
The point of my message is to pleaseeeee be cautious of the activities we do while wearing our babies! Since this happened I have had so many moms say "omg, I do that all the time" .. we never think it could happen to us and I never thought it would happen to me. So grateful she wasn't near the explosion.
It's a reminder for all of us. Please, please be so careful when you're wearing your sweet baby. We're so thankful to Molly for sharing her words on her social media pages, and we hope and pray for a full and quick recovery.
Should I Tell My Daughters They Can Have It All?
What if Your Mom Guilt Is a Lie?


According to new studies cats don't just purr when they are happy but when they are distressed or afraid. We always thought is was when their FourFriends arrived.
Purring is not only a method of communication, but is also a defence mechanism and a way of keeping calm in stressful or painful situations. This could be whe visiting the vets.
Since kittens are born blind and deaf, they require vibrations from purring to communicate with their mother and littermates.
According to the latest research, low frequency of a cat's purr causes a series of vibrations inside their body that can ease breathing, heal injuries and build muscle, while acting as a form of pain relief.
It would seem there are health benifits for us cat owners as well. Cat owners are at a 40% lower risk of a heart attack and lower blood pressure after interacting with cats and hearing their soft purrs.
Interestingly, cats that purr cant roar and cats that roar can't purr, because of the small bones found inside the vocal cords, which in roaring cats, is a flexible bone.
Researchers have also indentified a new purr called the solicitation purr, which alters the normal purr into a more urgent cry like sound, which is similar to that of a crying baby, so that we instinctively want to help.
In fact, beyond just purrs there are thought to be about 16 sound patterns in the cat lexicon, including meows, hisses, and shrieks to convey aggressions.
FourFriends cat foods are highly naturally nutritious with no fillers or preservatives. Why not get your feline friends purring even more with our delicious feast for cats.

We ship almost our entire range of products to all countries in the European Union. The only exception to this is our hardware bundles. If you place an order for a hardware bundle for delivery outside of the UK your order will be cancelled. We're not being grouches, as they're such high value items we want to make sure that they're delivered in the most safest and most efficient way.

Q | Do you ship to outside the EU?
Currently, we do not ship to territories outside of the EU. We are looking into delivery options at the moment and hope to be able to deliver before the end of the year.
Q | How will I know when my order has been sent?

We endeavour to ship your whole order in as few packages as possible but sometimes items are sent separately. All items that should be in your package should be listed on your delivery note. If this does not match, please let us know straight away.
To give you some peace of mind, we'll be sure to send you an email to let you know when each item is on its way. Pre-orders placed with other items will be despatched separately prior to release day.
Q | What happens if I am not at home to accept my delivery?
Due to the size of most of our products, usually they don't require you to be at home to take delivery as they will fit through your letterbox.
In the event that you have ordered products which will not fit through your letterbox, (and you aren't in to take delivery) then the postal service will follow their usual procedure. For UK orders this usually means a card is left to notify you of an attempted delivery and the item will be held at your local sorting office. For items attempted for delivery by a courier service they will also leave a card and allow you to arrange for redelivery or collection.
Q | Am I able to change the delivery address to something other than my registered PayPal address?
For the time being, we're unable to deliver your order to an alternative address - meaning all items will be posted to the address that's linked to your PayPal account.
Q | Do you deliver on Bank Holidays?
Bank Holidays are not classed as working days so we don't include these in our estimated delivery times. On these days, you can expect your delivery on the next working day following the Bank Holiday.

Today I am so excited for you all to hear from my dear friend Ashley. I met Ashley at an essential oils class and she joined our oily family that day. I am so thankful she came to that class!
Over the past 2 years Ashley has become a dear friend. I have learned so much from her about essential oils and being a boy mom. She also continually challenges me in my faith.
Ashley is one of our Silver leaders and has such a heart and passion for helping others live healthier lives full of wellness, purpose and abundance!
On the first Tuesday of every month you are going to get a chance to hear from Ashley! I am so excited for you all to hear from her each month and I hope you enjoy her quick tip this month.
Do you ever just wake with a case of the "grumps"? Like for no reason you find yourself irritated at all the little things that normally don't bother you. A million requests before you make it out of bed and the coffee just can't brew fast enough. Or you feel extremely nervous, restless or stressed but you don't know why.
Maybe you are overwhelmed with feelings of fear, frustration or even panic.
Just a few days ago I was reading about oils I could use for specific emotional challenges. Idaho Blue Spruce was everywhere!
The Northwestern Native Americans considered it a sacred tree and they used it for a variety of functions. I just kept noticing that it was listed as one of top oils to try for 15 of the 29 emotions I read about!
Its fragrant influence is to help release emotional blocks to bring about a feeling of balance and grounding. I can definitely use more of that!
You can inhale directly, diffuse, apply topically or take in a capsule. Idaho Blue Spruce is found in Young Living blends Transformation and Believe and Valor II! Believe and Valor have always been some of my favs! I must love that Spruce!
I am a boy mom. I am blessed with three funny, silly and loving little people but most of our days are filled with an array of emotions from giggles to tears and everything in between. We use a lot of Joy and Stress Away but excited to incorporate more Idaho Blue Spruce in my life!
I'm so thankful our Heavenly Father loves us and knew what we would need! I hope you find this helpful!
Please contact me with questions or other topics you would like to hear about!

Q: Standard Errors for LS Means In Python, I'm trying to validate the LS means from a mixed model that I ran with R's lme4 after using the lsmeans library. I'm using Python's mixedlm() from statsmodels.
I've successfully obtained the fixed effects means (by "hand") by extracting the parameters and alternatively with .predict() and a pandas dataframe. But I'm hung up on the standard errors for my predicted values. I'm not quite sure how to obtain these, though R's lsmeans library spits them out. In truth, I'm not sure how R is calculating them.
Does anyone know how to calculate the LS mean standard errors?

A: Each LS mean is a linear combination of the fixed-effect regression coefficients $b$, so that the LS mean is (in vector notation) $a'b = \sum_i a_ib_i$. Meanwhile, you can obtain the covariance matrix $V$ of $b$ from the object, via vcov(). The estimated SE of $a'b$ is equal to $\sqrt{a'Va}$.
In R, this fits together as follows: We can obtain the LS means, SEs, etc. from a fitted model via
library(emmeans)
emm <- emmeans(model, ...)
emm

And you can view the underlying sausage from what these are made via

*

*$b$ is in emm@bhat

*$V$ is in emm@V

*Each row of emm@linfct is the row vector $a'$ corresponding to each LS mean

So the LS means are obtained via emm@linfct %*% emm@bhat, and their estimated covariance matrix is C <- emm@linfct %*% emm@V %*% t(emm@linfct), so that the SEs are sqrt(diag(C)


While working on my projects last night, i came across an interstitial advertiser. Curious, I setup an account and for $1.00 i would receive 1k interstitial visits to my website. i purchased 2k "global" vists and 2k "US" visits for a total of $10.
This morning i checked my stats. I've received 2500 visits 2k of them were from the "global" the rest were from the US (I still have 1.5k outstanding) From the visits I received Facebook fans and Adsense clicks. I recouped (so far) about 40% of the cost of the project thru ads on the site.
I will report the quality of the outstanding traffic at the end of the day. As we all know traffic isn't worth anything unless it converts to a specific goal.

The 2016 UBA Health Plan Survey contains the validated responses of 19,557 health plans and 11,524 employers, who cumulatively employ over two and a half million employees and insure more than five million total lives. Of the preliminary findings, we see that employees continue to take on more cost for coverage. The median in-network deductible on an employer-sponsored PPO health plan (which nearly half of all employees enroll in) increased 50 percent, from $1,000 to $1,500 in 2016, yet employer costs remain steady.

Michael Nyman Band
In October 1976 a bizarre group of musicians played Nyman's score to Goldoni's Il Campiello at the opening of the Olivier Theatre. Subsequently, the ensemble became the Michael Nyman Band. Formed 40 years ago this autumn, the Michael Nyman Band has become Nyman's 'working model' for all his work, in concert hall, opera house and cinema.
