Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
It is late May, and exams are looming. Harry and Ron see that Hermione has two exams scheduled for Monday morning and two for Monday afternoon. When Harry asks if there is any chance of an explanation as to how Hermione expects to sit two exams at once, Hermione cheerfully says, "No," then looks for her Ancient Runes book. Hedwig delivers a note from Hagrid: Buckbeak's appeal is 6 June, the day of their last exam, and it will be at the school. A committee Wizard and an executioner will attend, so it appears to Harry that the committee's decision is already made. Ron is dismayed over the wasted work he has done on the appeal. Draco, who lost some of his usual swagger after Slytherin's Quidditch defeat, appears to be getting it back. Worse, the tight security has made it impossible to visit Hagrid, and Harry has not yet dared to retrieve the Invisibility Cloak from the One-Eyed Witch tunnel, because of Professor Snape.
Exams begin, and they are as rough as expected. In Transfiguration, students had to transfigure a teapot into a tortoise, which most found difficult. In Charms, they were tested on Cheering Charms, the one class Hermione missed. Tuesday's Care of Magical Creatures was a simple exam; they only had to keep Flobberworms alive for one hour. Harry, Ron, and Hermione use this time to exchange a few words with Hagrid, who says Buckbeak is tired of being penned up. It will be several days before the appeal. The Potions exam goes poorly; Snape apparently gives Harry a zero. Astronomy is Tuesday at midnight, History of Magic Wednesday morning, and Herbology is Wednesday afternoon. Thursday morning is Defence Against the Dark Arts, and Professor Lupin has set them a practical test: students have to wade across a deep pool containing a Grindylow, cross a series of potholes containing Red Caps, cross a stretch of marshland while avoiding being distracted by a Hinkypunk, then climb into an armoire to battle a Boggart. Harry gets a perfect score, but Ron is distracted and led astray by the Hinkypunk. Hermione is unable to defeat the Boggart who appears as Professor McGonagall telling her she has failed every subject.
Heading back, they run into the Minister for Magic on the castle steps. Fudge says he is there for a very sad duty—witnessing the execution of a dangerous animal. Ron protests that the Hippogriff might be exonerated, but before Fudge can answer, he is joined by a testy old Wizard and a tall, strapping man carrying a large axe. Convinced the appeal is a mockery, Ron starts to say something, but Hermione drags him away to protect Mr. Weasley's job.
After lunch, Harry and Ron have their Divination exam, while Hermione has Muggle Studies. Professor Trelawney examines students individually. Harry, examined last, pretends to see a Hippogriff in the crystal ball and claims it is flying away. As Trelawney dismisses him, she suddenly enters into a trance and speaks in a strange voice: "It will happen tonight. The Dark Lord lies alone and friendless, abandoned by his followers. His servant has been chained these twelve years. Tonight, before midnight, the servant will break free and set out to rejoin his master. The Dark Lord will rise again with his servant's aid, greater and more terrible than ever before. Tonight... before midnight... the servant... will set out... to rejoin... his master..." Suddenly awakening, Trelawney is unaware of what she has just said, and chastises Harry for repeating it to her.
Uncertain if Trelawney was merely adding melodrama to the exam or experiencing a real prediction, Harry heads back to the common room. Before he can share what Trelawney predicted, Ron and Hermione tell him Hagrid sent a note: Buckbeak lost the appeal and will be executed at sunset. Hagrid orders the Trio to stay away. Harry bemoans that his Invisibility Cloak is still in the One-eyed Witch tunnel, otherwise they could visit Hagrid. However, if Snape catches Harry anywhere near there, he will be expelled. Hermione dashes off, returning shortly with the Cloak.
Donning the Invisibility Cloak, the three head to Hagrid's hut. A distraught Hagrid says Macnair, the executioner, is Lucius Malfoy's friend, but at least the end will be quick and clean. Professor Dumbledore is also coming to support Hagrid. Says Hagrid, "Great man, Dumbledore." Fetching a pitcher, Hermione discovers Scabbers hiding inside. Scabbers seems frantic to remain hidden, trying to climb back into the milk jug, even as Ron grabs him. Hagrid spots the execution committee coming and shoos Harry, Ron, and Hermione out the back door. As they head to the castle under the Invisibility Cloak, Scabbers makes another bid for freedom. As Ron tries to contain him, they hear the swish and thud of the executioner's falling axe.
Once again, Hermione's attendance at multiple classes is called into focus and promptly shunted aside by something of apparently greater importance. This is the first time that Hermione has directly refused to explain, rather than diverting the question, and thus the first time that she is admitting that there is some validity to Harry's belief that she is attending multiple classes at the same time. Even so, the message from Hagrid arrives before we are given time to think about this, and so any speculation about Hermione's apparent ability to be in two places at one time is short-circuited.
Trelawney's prediction leaves Harry stunned and confused, unsure whether what he has just heard was mere melodrama or a true prophecy. It should be remembered that Trelawney has a poor record for making accurate predictions, though her lapsing into a trance, speaking in an eerie voice, and having no memory about what she just predicted is uncharacteristic. This prophecy may be genuine. There is also no indication as to who Voldemort's servant may be, but the obvious assumption is that it is Sirius Black. Harry can only wait and let events unfold; the prediction, if real, is that events will happen before midnight, far too short a time for Harry to consult with others to try and determine its meaning.
Ron shows a surprising side to his character here, reflecting a budding maturity that has been relatively unseen until this book, though he still has far to go before reaching adulthood. Previously, he wisely counseled Harry to heed his friends' advice, rather than listen to his enemies. Upon hearing Buckbeak's fate, he vocally opposes the Ministry's actions directly to Fudge, outraged over an obvious injustice that is being inflicted on innocent victims. Only Hermione's intervention prevents him from saying more and possibly damaging his father's position within the Ministry. For once, Ron not only speaks out against something he believes is wrong, but also expresses compassion for others. Though usually showing little concern regarding matters unrelated to himself, Ron here steps outside himself, and he is certainly correct that Buckbeak's execution is a mockery, one that has been orchestrated by the malicious Mr. Malfoy purely from spite.
It is perhaps worth noting that Ron has jumped to a conclusion here. The presence of the executioner does not mean that the appeal is a foregone conclusion. Contrary to the US system in which inmates can be kept on Death Row for extended periods, the English system does not keep the condemned prisoner alive for an extended time after final appeals have been exhausted. Buckbeak has one remaining shot at an appeal, and if that fails, it is a mercy to have the execution done quickly to eliminate a long period of anticipation. It is not, strictly speaking, necessary, given the efficient Wizarding transportation network, to have all three members of the Committee arrive at the same time; the executioner could be summoned only after the appeal fails, of course. The executioner's appearance here is largely for dramatic effect, though Fudge's arrival seems somehow forced. Perhaps Fudge is supervising as a favour to Lucius Malfoy, and to the voting bloc that he seems to informally represent.
Hermione, meanwhile, has come face-to-face with her greatest fear: failing all her classes. She does, however, show courage and loyalty when she unhesitatingly retrieves Harry's Invisibility Cloak, knowing that, if caught, she could be disciplined and lose House points for helping him. She further shows her loyalty by accompanying Ron and Harry to Hagrid's hut to comfort him during this difficult time.

Review[edit]
What happens during Trelawney's Divination final exam? What might it mean?
Who retrieves Harry's Invisibility Cloak and why?
Further Study[edit]
Scabbers vanished in April, and it is now early June. Why did he remain hidden in Hagrid's hut all this time? Why does he try to escape again?
How is Trelawney's prophecy different from her usual ones?
What might Trelawney's prediction mean?
Who is Voldemort's servant mentioned in the prediction?
Why was an execution party sent before the appeal had been decided? Who is behind this and why?
What prompts Ron, who rarely has an opinion about anything unrelated to himself, to stand up to Fudge? Why does Hermione drag Ron away?
How has Ron's character changed since we first met him?
Greater Picture[edit]
Intermediate warning: Details follow which you may not wish to read at your current level.
Although Harry's fabricated prediction that Buckbeak flies safely away is wishful thinking on his part, it actually foreshadows events in the book's conclusion. It is perhaps lucky that Harry is aware that he is making this up; if he had been a little less sure of himself, he might have thought that he had a touch of the Talent.
Trelawney's strange pronouncement is a true Prophecy, and Dumbledore later tells us that it is the second genuine one that he is aware of. The first concerned Harry and Voldemort, and occurred while she was being interviewed for the Divination position by Dumbledore. It is apparently on the strength of that first prophecy that Dumbledore has kept her on staff; this second one will surely bolster that decision. Otherwise, it would seem that he shares the staff's general opinion that Divination is purest flummery, hardly deserving a place at Hogwarts.
The reader may believe that this is a true prophecy; it is certainly delivered in a convincing manner. If so, the reader will be misled by the belief that Black is the Dark Lord's servant. It is true that Black, imprisoned in Azkaban, could be said to be chained "these past twelve years", except that he has by now been free for almost a year. Despite the various bits of foreshadowing — the Sneakoscope, the revelation of the Animagus transform, Black's attack on Ron, and Crookshanks' repeated attacks on Scabbers — we are somehow unable to predict that Scabbers will be unmasked as the Animagus form of Peter Pettigrew.
The Invisibility Cloak has lain, undiscovered, in the secret passage leading from Hogwarts to Hogsmeade after Harry was forced to abandon it there in mid-April. It remained there until early June, when Hermione went to retrieve it. We know that Black was in the school on the night after the match against Ravenclaw, before the Cloak is dropped in the passage, and Harry sees him in his Animagus form the night before the Slytherin match, after it had been left. Did Black enter the school via that passage? If so, did he pass by the Cloak, and, recognizing it as once belonging to James Potter, leave it aside? Or did he use another means to get into Hogwarts? The author never clarifies this point, but it is quite possible that Black opened a boarded-up window in the Shrieking Shack, and is using the tunnel under the Whomping Willow to enter the school grounds. It would appear that this route is less dangerous for Black, in either of his forms, than the route through Honeyduke's.
Connections[edit]
This is the first time we have seen a true Prophecy from Trelawney. We will discover that Trelawney had been hired almost entirely because of an earlier prediction, which will see in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. It will turn out that this earlier prophecy drives most of the action of the entire series. When the Ministry claims power over the hiring and firing of Hogwarts teachers, and then fires Trelawney, in that same book, Professor Dumbledore acts to keep her at Hogwarts despite her dismissal. This is apparently because Voldemort is then actively seeking the full text of the original Prophecy, and Dumbledore believes that Trelawney's life is not safe if she leaves the school.
The form which Trelawney's prophecy takes is important. Note that the start of the prophecy is repeated; thus, a person who only hears the end of the prophecy actually only hears the beginning of it. It will turn out that this pattern also appears in the only other prophecy of Trelawney's that we hear. At the time we hear that prophecy, Professor Dumbledore will state that Voldemort had only heard the beginning of the prophecy, and was desperate to find out the rest of it. We will later discover that Voldemort's informant had been present only at the end of the prophecy. This is certainly easier to believe than that he was present during the first part of the prophecy and somehow bundled off, without disturbing Trelawney and breaking her trance, or having the audience lose the gist of her speech.

Is it impossible to get the actual distribution and install it yourself? Besides, in the very old days I think there basically only was the Linux main distribution, and then came SLG (?), which eventually became Slackware.
I've still got all my pre-slackware distributions as well as several other 1994-95 distributions. I'm moving in two weeks, so they are all packed at the moment.
Moving is such a PITA. All of the household stuff, my three daughter's stuff, my wife's stuff and my tools, books and collection of almost a hundred assorted computers and workstations. Then there are all of the printers and monitors. I've got 15 19-21" , 14 17" and uncounted smaller monitors alone to carry downstairs and load. I don't trust the moving company and it's only 19 miles across town, but it's still a pain. Hell, I bet there is over a hundred pounds of software CD's alone. And then there is all of the spares - motherboards, simms, hard drives, CD-ROM's, case parts, spare monitors, boards of all types. I never realized how heavy my collection of Sgi boxes is. The Octane weighs around 60 pounds alone. At least there is only 1 Octane, but there are 8 Iris Indigo's, 2 Indigo2's, 2 O2's, 1 Indy and 1 VW320. The NeXT cubes are not light either as are the magnesium cased printers. One other printer is an Apple LaserWriter 8500 - 85 pounds of plastic and metal.
Such is life. Thanks for letting me vent.
Moving is such a PITA.
Yeah, that's pretty much what happened to my (former) collection. We were forced to move three times in four years (ex-wife's job). Each place we moved into seemed smaller than the last, so with each move, my collection got smaller and the computer museum's grew larger. I've gone from about 150 computers to just a handful. The biggest stuff was probably the first to go; the Tandy Model 16b, Model II with expansion, the Altos 5000, etc. I'm down to mostly portable stuff now, Kaypros, etc.
Oh well, I guess I'm done venting too (for now).
Oh. I'm about to move in a few months, but to a bigger place so I can bring up my Mac from the basement. The other handful of PC-or-smaller class machines I have are accessible from the desk or a drawer already today. Not planning to extend the collection wildly though.
We're moving from a 3300 sqft house to a 1300 sqft apartment. The one car garage is my area. It's almost half the size of my home office at this time. We are tired of outrageous mortgage payments, taxes that have doubled in the five years we have lived here and homeowners insurance that has trippled in five years. By downsizing to an apartment we are cutting our montlhly expenses by 2/3. I can cut back to one job and my wife can give up her second and third job. It's just a pain weeding through everything. We want some spare time to enjoy hobbys and our three daughters before thay grow up without us.
And the best part about apartment living...no lawn to mow!
Another benefit with living in an apartment is no pavement (sidewalk) to be responsible to shovel in the winter. Yes, over here a house owner living along a small street has the responsibility to keep the pavement clean, which gets even harder when the plough car has left a big snowplough on the side of the street.
Good point, carlsson. I hate shoveling snow just as much as mowing the grass.
> just as much as mowing the grass.
Yeah, lucky you! What part of Oz do you live in that doesn't get any snow? (I don't remember my third-grade Geography very well any more).
I've never seen enough snow to try and shovel it, but I really hate working in the yard. You all are right, I'm tired of all of the home maintance issues.
Oh yeah, I know what ya mean. (I've lived in Texas, too). 115 in the shade in the Summer, and the worst part of Winter is the occaisional ice-storm. That's when people in cars really go crazy cause nobody knows how to drive on that slick stuff.
>>> just as much as mowing the grass.
>> I've seen of it).
which I might add is quite large.
had snow on it (falling on Christmas Day!!).
But Aussie weather is up the creek!
> how to drive on that slick stuff.
I think the most long-lasting winter I have encountered lasted a week into May, and that is on the northern hemisphere then. Fortunately I don't live in that part of the country where one can expect snowfall in late June*, although in the hilly regions it probably can happen.
But vic user is right, finding/renting a parking space can be difficult in the bigger cities, living in an apartment. This reminds me of anyone who has a detached house could put asphalt on the whole yard, and instead of mowing can rent out parking space. How about that, solving two people's problems in one?
> people's problems in one?
big & can find plenty of work.
This reminds me of anyone who has a detached house could put asphalt on the whole yard, and instead of mowing can rent out parking space. How about that, solving two people's problems in one?
You don't know how many times I've wished I could do that very thing. (I did have a neighbor once who paved his whole backyard and used it for a basketball court).
In car crazy Dallas, almost all apartments have either a covered parking area or an attached garage. Ours has a detached one car garage. but I'm rolling out carpet in it to use as an office/geek room. I really wanted the apartment with the two car attached garage, but for some reason my wife chose style and kitchen layout over garage space. :wink: It's really only temporary - we plan to semi-retire to Hawaii in 5-7 years.
I'm actually going in the other direction - from an 1800 sq foot house to a 4500 sq foot house. The new (to me but 17 years old) house is much bigger, but it needs a lot of deferred maintenance. And half of the space is unfinished, so I have a lot of work to do.
On the other hand, I'll finally have enough space for a proper computer room, with enough power, signal wiring, and table-top/workbench space for my machines. I don't have a lot of machines, but I desperately want to work with them more and having to go to closets and storage rooms to swap units is getting old.
Then again, I don't live in a major city - there is room to spread out here. If I was living in NYC still my hobbies would have to be quite a bit different.
Don't worry, your collection will soon expand to completely fill all available space (including closets, basements, attics, garages, etc.). (Isn't that some kinda universal law or sum'n)?
Sorry, not funny, I know. I'll go back to sleep now!!!
Even HE has to be aware of security these days...those pesky lil haxorz are everywhere!
True, but in the spirit of a powerful admin, he should find ways to punish them severly afterwards. I mean, like only allow them to use hexadecimal numbers when programming or using computers. Or make that octal for an even tougher punishment (?!?).
BTW, any good hacker can tell you that the number one most common userid for root is "god", which makes the hacker's life so much easier.
Funny that you mentioned the password. At the university, the department's main student server was found to have "godjul" (god jul, Merry Christmas) as the root password for a long time until some crackers broke into it and security had to be fixed.
living in Bendigo & even when I was up there early June 2004.
car running flat out! Jack Frost was a favourite up there.
where it was almost Snowing in Bendigo - quite bizarre!
Do they have skiing down under, or don't your Alpine slopes get enough powder?
> slopes get enough powder?
SLG (?), which eventually became Slackware.
SLS, the Soft Landing System.
My first distro was SLS 1.03, around October 1993.
I just have this image of Oz as being some kinda sub-tropical 'paradise', interspersed with a fair amount of desert land (and of course, plenty of beaches for surfin' dude)!!!
what you need is a typical photo of a cold Melbourne morning.
be Hot one day & wet & cold the next.
more due to cooler temeratures in which they can survive in.
everything from desert, tropics & cooler places down south.

Q: Iterate pandas data frame for rows consists of arrays and compute a moving average based on condition I can't figure out a problem I am trying to solve.
I have a pandas data frame coming from this:
date,       id,     measure,    result
2016-07-11, 31, "[2, 5, 3, 3]",     1
2016-07-12, 32, "[3, 5, 3, 3]",     1
2016-07-13, 33, "[2, 1, 2, 2]",     1
2016-07-14, 34, "[2, 6, 3, 3]",     1
2016-07-15, 35, "[39, 31, 73, 34]", 0
2016-07-16, 36, "[3, 2, 3, 3]",     1
2016-07-17, 37, "[3, 8, 3, 3]",     1

Measurements column consists of arrays in string format.
I want to have a new moving-average-array column from the past 3 measurement records, excluding those records where the result is 0. Past 3 records mean that for id 34, the arrays of id 31,32,33 to be used.
It is about taking the average of every 1st point, 2nd point, 3rd and 4th point to have this moving-average-array.
It is not about getting the average of 1st array, 2nd array ... and then averaging the average, no.
For the first 3 rows, because there is not enough history, I just want to use their own measurement. So the solution should look like this:
date,       id,     measure,    result .     Solution
2016-07-11, 31, "[2, 5, 3, 3]",     1,      "[2,   5, 3,   3]"
2016-07-12, 32, "[3, 5, 3, 3]",     1,      "[3,   5, 3,   3]"
2016-07-13, 33, "[2, 1, 2, 2]",     1,      "[2,   1, 2,   2]"
2016-07-14, 34, "[2, 6, 3, 3]",     1,      "[2.3, 3.6, 2.6, 2.6]"
2016-07-15, 35, "[39, 31, 73, 34]", 0,      "[2.3, 4, 2.6, 2.6]"
2016-07-16, 36, "[3, 2, 3, 3]",     1,      "[2.3, 4, 2.6, 2.6]"
2016-07-17, 37, "[3, 8, 3, 3]",     1,      "[2.3, 3, 2.6, 2.6]"

The real data is bigger. result 0 may repeat 2 or more times after each other also. I think it will be about keeping a track of previous OK results properly getting those averages. I spent time but I could not.
I am posting the dataframe here:
 mydict = {'date': {0: '2016-07-11',
      1: '2016-07-12',
      2: '2016-07-13',

      4: '2016-07-15',
      5: '2016-07-16',
      6: '2016-07-17'},
     'id': {0: 31, 1: 32, 2: 33, 3: 34, 4: 35, 5: 36, 6: 37},
     'measure': {0: '[2, 5, 3, 3]',
      1: '[3, 5, 3, 3]',
      2: '[2, 1, 2, 2]',
      3: '[2, 6, 3, 3]',
      4: '[39, 31, 73, 34]',
      5: '[3, 2, 3, 3]',
      6: '[3, 8, 3, 3]'},
     'result': {0: 1, 1: 1, 2: 1, 3: 1, 4: 0, 5: 1, 6: 1}}

df = pd.DataFrame(mydict)

df = pd.DataFrame(mydict)

I defined a simple function to calculate the means and return a list. Then, loop the dataframe applying the rules:
def calc_mean(in_list):
    p0 = round((in_list[0][0] + in_list[1][0] + in_list[2][0])/3,1)
    p1 = round((in_list[0][1] + in_list[1][1] + in_list[2][1])/3,1)
    p2 = round((in_list[0][2] + in_list[1][2] + in_list[2][2])/3,1)
    p3 = round((in_list[0][3] + in_list[1][3] + in_list[2][3])/3,1)
    return [p0, p1, p2, p3]

Solution = []
aux_list = []
for index, row in df.iterrows():
    if index in [0,1,2]:
        Solution.append(row.measure)
        aux_list.append([int(x) for x in row.measure[1:-1].split(', ')])
    else:
        Solution.append('[' +', '.join(map(str, calc_mean(aux_list))) + ']')
        if row.result > 0:
            aux_list.pop(0)
            aux_list.append([int(x) for x in row.measure[1:-1].split(', ')])
df['Solution'] = Solution

The output is:

Please note that the result is rounded to 1 decimal place, a bit different from your desired output. Made more sense to me.
EDIT:
As a suggestion in the comments by @Frenchy, to deal with result == 0 in the first 3 rows, we need to change a bit the first if clause:
if index in [0,1,2] or len(aux_list) <3:
    Solution.append(row.measure)
    if row.result > 0:
        aux_list.append([int(x) for x in row.measure[1:-1].split(', ')])

A: You can use pd.eval to change from a str of list to a proper list only the part of the data in measure where result is not 0. Use rolling with mean and then shift to get the rolling average over the last 3 rows at the next row. Then map to str once your dataframe is changed to a list of list with values and tolist. Finally you just need to replace the first three rows and ffill the missing data:
df.loc[df.result.shift() != 0,'solution'] = list(map(str,
                              pd.DataFrame(pd.eval(df[df.result != 0].measure))
                                .rolling(3).mean().shift().values.tolist()))
df.loc[:2,'solution'] = df.loc[:2,'measure']
df.solution = df.solution.ffill()

A: Here's another solution:
# get data to reproduce example
from io import StringIO
data = StringIO("""

The use of cannabis for medical purposes has been becoming more popular all the time, despite the fact that it is currently only legal in sixteen states in the USA. There are rumors that federal law is undergoing change, however, and this has got many people very interested in medical cannabis distribution for legally qualified patients. There are many people now wondering how to open a medical dispensary.
The profits you make from a medical marijuana dispensary can be really enormous due to the high demand for this medical treatment. This is not any form of 'get rich quick' idea, however, and it will take quite a lot of effort, but you can make a really good living from this industry.
Not to mention, by opening a medical cannabis dispensary you are helping those who really need this form of treatment. Many people are unable to use any other form of treatment due to the cost or an allergy, or things of that nature, and a cannabis dispensary is going to really help these people where they need it most. Best of all, these days you needn't sit around wondering how to open a medical dispensary- we have a free email course that will guide you step by step- just enter your email below.
Before you begin, you really need to look at the laws and regulations in your state in regards to medical cannabis. The State Attorney General Guidelines and Department of Health will list laws for your state. Since the federal law against medical cannabis hasn't been changed yet, you need to stay within the laws of your state. Do your research thoroughly so you can make sure this business isn't going to get you into any trouble.
You will need to check and understand both your state laws and local laws. Also check the local regulations on the amount of cannabis you can legally produce, and look at the tax rates.
From there, there will be a large amount of paperwork to fill in if you want to stay on the right side of the law. You need to treat it as a real business, so licenses need to be obtained and application forms need to be completed. Be patient during this process. It will be very tempting to just give up at the thought of all these papers, but stay determined and get through it all to be successful.
Then, after all that, you can finally open up and start helping patients. This is the best part of the whole process. Even if you are not interested in the aspect of helping people, the compensation alone is enough to keep your interest.
Do make sure you keep your premises safe.
The wonderful benefits you can get from opening a medical cannabis dispensary is now only aided by the fact that the federal laws against it are under consideration. This new, modern business is booming, and people are rushing to get in on it. It's a really worthwhile investment.


After my rant yesterday about us tea drinkers being treated like second class citizens at many cafes, today we discovered somewhere to get a properly made cup of tea while in the Melbourne's CBD!
This store has a brew bar…you can order any of their teas…including iced, tea latte and cold drip!
The only issue is what on earth to order…there are over 200 to choose from…you can try one of the latest releases, or get your favourite.
If you are stuck, the T2 staff are happy to assist you, and suggest some options.
I did have a bit of a mental blank of what to choose, but ended up going with a White Jasmine…which was made in one of the T2 tea makers that I reviewed a little while ago.
My husband chose his all time favourite T2 black tea…Melbourne Breakfast…which was served with soy and honey.
We also got given a loyalty card…after eleven teas, you get a free one for the twelfth!
And why is this one called a Hybrid Brew Bar…because it is installed within a retail T2 store, and is only one of two in Australia!
The only other Hybrid Brew Bar is in Robina, QLD…there is also two Brew Bars in Sydney…QVB and Westfield in the city.
So it was rather exciting to discover a that we have one right here in Melbourne, very handy if you work in the city, or are in need of real tea when doing some shopping therapy!
Thanks T2 for bringing real tea to the Melbourne CBD!
The T2 Hybrid Brew Bar is located in Emporium Melbourne, Shop 1 – 030, 287 Lonsdale Street, Melbourne, VIC 3000.

Q: Oracle - Create two tables of different schema with same name in same table space. Is it valid? Does not produce any errors? I Understand that we can have tables with same name as long as they are in different schema. Let say, both schema tables are dumped to same tablespace even then it is valid? I think as per my knowledge it is valid.. Is my understanding correct? Or is there any clause in this scenario? or any other issues?

A: Yes, it's perfectly valid.
The namespaces in an Oracle database are schemas.  Tablespaces are solely related to physical storage of segments.  You can't have two tables with the same name in the same schema but you can have as many tables with the same name in the same tablespace.

Album Review: Konfidence – Kit Rice
Previously featured tracks, 'Just A Kiss' and 'Always Been This Way' have set a curious tone for KIT RICE's brand new album entitled 'Konfidence', released on Monday (25th June).
I was very privileged to be invited to Kit's album release launch party on Monday at London's 229 The Venue Club and I gotta say this newcomer's – along with the backing singers – well-poised vocals has compelled me even more to the eight-track collection.
'Konfidence' certainly matched the full-on confidence of the live performances I witnessed, by kicking off with a boisterous sound of the UKG scene, before offering up more club filling makeovers of the original R&B/soulful offerings, 'Always Been This Way' and 'Just A Kiss', with the help of producers Operator S and DJIMON.
The combination of that UKG vibes and smooth R&B offers the perfect balance throughout the album, topped off by the 2017 Voice contestant's soulful vocal which effortlessly flows between the two genres.
With this pretty neat set, KIT RICE firmly holds onto the title as one of the most exciting and promising artists that the UK has seen in a very long time…
Make sure you check him out below:

New Track: Always Been This Way (Operator S Remix) – Kit Rice
KIT RICE's latest single, 'Always Been This Way', is back with a full-on UKG dance makeover from London DJ and producer Operator S.
Operator S has become a fast rising star in the UK Garage & House scene in recently years, receiving a seal of approval from BBC 1Xtra, Rinse FM and Beat London.
Coming from KIT RICE's forthcoming 'Konfidence' album, the new remix follows a string of massive remixes from UK Garage & House legend DJ Fen and Brazilian Future Bass newcomer DJIMON.

New Track: Always Been This Way – Kit Rice
With the release of his debut album 'Konfidence' drawing closer, British singer/songwriter KIT RICE continues to tease us with latest single 'Always Been This Way'.
Following on from the groovy funk of 'Dance All Night' and the power ballad 'Just A Kiss', the new single is an emotive strings-led soulful/R&B esque offering, which sees the South Londoner at his most vulnerable, while still retaining those well-controlled harmonies.
Speaking about the inspiration for 'Always Been This Way', the BRIT School alumni says, "The record is about letting go. It was one of the hardest songs to write on this album because it is so personal. I like to live my life through love & light, but sometimes people take me for granted. When that happens, I have to let go. Life is hard enough! You need people helping you push the cart uphill. If someone is sitting in it and weighing you down, you have to let go and most times it's a hard decision to make! But you have to look after yourself first. Don't let people weigh you down! Live your best life".
'Always Been This Way' is the third release from the album 'Konfidence', out 25th June via KAR Records/AWAL. It's too good to pass by; better have a listen…

Song of the Day: Just A Kiss – Kit Rice
Following the announcement of his forthcoming debut album Konfidence, due on June 25 via KAR Records/AWAL, and the release of its lead single 'Dance All Night', which has been met with rave reviews, fast-rising London singer, songwriter and musician, and BRIT School alumni KIT RICE follows up with a brand new offering titled 'Just A Kiss', the second single from his Konfidence album.
Coming on the back of recent support from BBC Radio 1, Music Week, Kiss FM, Capital Xtra, BBC 1Xtra, Complex, MTV UK and Digital Spy in recent years, KIT RICE has started 2018 in spectaclur fashion – first with 'Dance All Night' and its UKG remix from longtime collaborator and UK Garage veteran DJ Fen, which have been supported by the likes of Fame Magazine, ILUVLIVE and UMA Music, among others.
The Beckenham native and former The Voice UK contestant continues his streak with his brand new single 'Just A Kiss', which was written and produced by Kit himself, with Nigel Walton, who has worked with Basement Jaxx, Krept & Konan and Bloc Party, mastering the record. The piano-led ballad is a complete detour from the groovy funk of 'Dance All Night', but it perfectly showcases Kit's amazing vocals and songwriting, which carry the record throughout.

Rangana Herath and Dilruwan Perera took three wickets each to help Sri Lanka secure a late 225-run win against Zimbabwe in the first Test at Harare Sports Club on Wednesday (November 2).
After declaring on its overnight total of 247 for 6 to set Zimbabwe 412 for victory on the final day, it looked like Sri Lanka would be held to a draw as Graeme Cremer once again led the resistance with an obdurate 43. But Herath returned 3 for 38, which included the wickets of Cremer and Sean Williams, and Perera took 3 for 34 as Zimbabwe was bowled out for 186 with just 7.3 overs left.
The final day began with Zimbabwe making a strong start to its innings, as Tinonenda Mawoyo and Brian Chari, the opening batsmen, saw off the new ball. Even after Chari was bowled in Lahiru Kumara's first over, Mawoyo found support in Hamilton Masakadza as the two batted for almost an hour.
However, with Mawoyo given out lbw to Perera for 37, a collapse ensued, and Zimbabwe fell from 68 for 1 to 74 for 5 in four overs. Perera trapped Craig Ervine lbw in his next over, and in the following over Suranga Lakmal dismissed both Masakadza and Malcolm Waller. With Peter Moor then out lbw to Kumara, the end seemed in sight for Zimbabwe.
But Williams was joined by Cremer, whose unbeaten century headlined the Zimbabwe first innings, and the two saw Zimbabwe through the next 80 minutes to the tea interval.
Needing four wickets in the final session, Herath stepped up to have Williams caught at slip for 40 before trapping Donald Tiripano lbw.
Yet, Cremer fought on, taking his innings towards the three-hour mark. But, with less than ten overs to go, Cremer, the Zimbabwe captain, had a rush of blood and was stumped off Herath for 43.
Carl Mumba and Chris Mpofu lasted a further three overs before Perera sealed the game by bowling Mpofu for a duck, consigning Zimbabwe to defeat in its 100th Test.

Q: Java Canvas irregular drawing time? I have a Canvas from the java.awt package added to a JFrame. The Canvas uses Double-Buffering to draw, enabled with canvas.createBufferStrategy(2).
That's my render() method, which should be quite fast, because I'm not drawing so much:
Graphics g = strategy.getDrawGraphics();

// draw
g.drawImage(...); // Image with a size of 1000x1000
g.drawString(...); // Drawing a short String with the Frames per Second
drawModel(g); // this method draws a rotated game character with the
              // help of Gaphics2D (Imagesize: 100x100)

g.dispose();
strategy.show();

I've measured the Performance with the help of System.currentTimeMillis() and I got that results (Time per Frame):

*

*9ms

*9ms

*11ms

*10ms

*0ms

*21ms

*10ms

How can it happen that one render process takes 0ms and the next the double of the average time? And what are your suggestions to improve the overall rendering performance?
// UPDATE
I've tried a JPanel now: it's flaring and it's much slower than a Canvas.

A: System.currentTimeMillis() is often no more accurate than 10 ms. Try System.nanoTime().


Stop and smell the roses, or play in a puddle ??. That was precious!
Let's do both! Thanks, friend!
So many tears right now from the pure innocent joy of this..plus that sweet gentle puppy waiting is everything!
Thanks for the reminder, C..
I know. So precious. Thank you!
That made me smile. So glad you are back and sharing.
Thank you for your sweet comment. I am happy to be back!
The beauty of moments like this offer hope to our world.
So sweet! Thanks for sharing this, Cathy! I needed that smile!

NORFOLK — A tech company here is planning to develop a business campus for creative companies in downtown.
The project, Assembly, is being led by Drew Ungvarsky, founder and CEO of Grow, a creative innovation agency based in Downtown Norfolk. Grow has produced commercials and digital products for companies such as Spotify, Pinterest, YouTube, Google, Burberry, and Nike.
Assembly is described as "purpose-built to host a curated community of like-minded professionals — leading creative and technology companies, aspiring startups, and talented freelancers all sharing energy, inspiration, and resources," according to a news release from Ungvarsky.
Ungvarsky said he and other local tech leaders felt their creative energies lacked "a center mass," and "as a result, the rest of the world doesn't always know about the extraordinary work being done here" in Norfolk.
"We thought to align to a broader purpose: strengthen our city, advance our industry, and plant a flag for our community that no one can miss," Ungvarsky said.
The project "will be based in an iconic building campus" at 400 Granby St., according to a news release from the city. The building is labeled as the "Granby Municipal Building" and houses several city departments.
Ungvarsky and Grow are joined by local companies Work Program Architects, Sway Creative Labs, and Flagship Visuals as the founding tenants of Assembly.
Companies interested in becoming a tenant in the building can send an email to Assemlby. The campus is expected to open in 2020, and the city is scheduled to vote on final approval of the project on April 9.

LAHORE Punjab Chief Minister Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif has said public service is the mission of Pakistan Muslim League-N, and for this purpose, record funds have been allocated in the budget of current fiscal year to provide basic facilities to the people and to raise their living standard. Development projects are being completed in less developed areas on priority basis to bring them at par with the developed ones and to remove sense of deprivation of the people of these areas, he said, while talking to assembly members from various districts at CMs Secretariat here on Thursday. The assembly members informed the CM about the development schemes and welfare projects being carried out in their areas and the problems of the people. MNA Muhammad Balighur Rehman and Ch Muhammad Bargees Tahir, MPAs Sanaullah Masti Khel, Malik Adil Hussain Utra and Hafiz Muhammad Nauman called on the CM. While urging the public representatives to utilise all their energies to address problems of the people, the CM said the Punjab government was implementing an effective strategy to eliminate poverty, ignorance and unemployment, provide quick justice, protect life and property of citizens and to provide facilities to the poor. Steps taken for the economic recovery of the province, welfare of the people, promotion of education and other sectors of social development have started yielding positive results, he added, while enumerating steps like setting up IT labs in schools, establishment of Punjab Educational Endowment Fund, Danish Schools, encouragement of students and teachers, promotion of curricular and extra-curricular activities and training of teachers, and hoping that these would leave a far-reaching impact on education sector. Rapid development is not possible without promotion of education and keeping in view this fact the government is attaching top priority to the uplift of this sector. Funds allocated for the education sector in the current fiscal year are 12 percent more than the previous year, he mentioned. The CM observed that no society could progress without rule of law and quick dispensation of justice and only those nations had achieved success which upheld justice. He further mentioned that unprecedented welfare programmes had been launched to alleviate poverty and to address problems of the deprived segments of the society. The Sasti Roti Scheme is a blessing for the poor, labourers, farmers, orphans and widows and the government will continue serving humanity. The Sasti Roti Dastarkhawn programme has also been started with the help of philanthropists. Thousands of people are benefiting from the Dastarkhawn, he said, while mentioning that an effective strategy had been adopted to remove flaws in the Sasti Roti Scheme and besides setting up monitoring teams at various levels, participation of people of all segments of the society had been ensured in this scheme. He stressed upon assembly members to closely monitor the Scheme and Dastarkhawn in their respective areas.

What will it take to make downtown great again? | Randi Thompson

Check out an aerial view of snow in downtown Reno and Virginia City on Jan. 8, 2019. The most recent rounds of storms dropped 4 inches to 8 inches of snow in Reno. Sam Gross and Benjamin Spillman, Reno Gazette Journal

Attending a concert at the Reno Events Center is a wakeup call to all that is wrong with downtown Reno.
I attended the Old Dominium concert last Saturday with about 8,000 other people and it was not a fun night. (The band was great, though!)
First, let's look at parking. Ironically, there is no parking requirement for businesses downtown. (How can you attract people to come downtown, yet provide very few parking options once we get there?) The only public parking structure near the Events Center is the Bowling Stadium lot that fills up quickly, so you have to find something on the street. We ended up at the lot across from the Pioneer Center — a good walk away, which is fine.
The Events Center was beyond jammed with lines everywhere for drinks, food and bathrooms. The whole set up in the hall was inefficient and amateur, and the size of the crowd seemed way beyond their serving capacity.

Then you go into the concert hall. I won't complain about how loud the music was, as that will just make me sound old! But I will complain that the front row seats that we paid $230 for was a total rip-off. The organizers fail to tell you that there is a pit in front of the stage for VIPs who get to stand right in front of you, blocking your view of the stage. So instead of seeing the band, I got to watch three drunk women dance and spill beer over themselves.
The sad part of the night, though, was walking back to our car along Virginia Street, passing empty buildings, seeing few pedestrians and not having a nice bar to stop into for a drink. Most of the people down there were "cruising main" in their cars.
It got us talking of what will it take to make downtown vibrant and fun. What attractions would bring us downtown? One idea we kicked around was closing Virginia Street and some of the side streets to traffic and creating a pedestrian mall with outdoor cafes and street vendors. So many cities our size have done this with great success, like Eugene, Oregon and Boulder, Colorado — and heck, even Sparks has a great city core.

It will take a lot of cooperation between the public and private sector to develop our downtown, but I see what's happening in other cities struggling with similar dilemmas, and they are getting it done.
Look at Sacramento. Their City Council just voted to revamp Old Sacramento, approving up to $47 million in hotel tax revenue to fund the project. Their plan is to revitalize their waterfront by adding a large lawn, a concert stage, two rooftop bars, an interactive water fountain and other features. The project aims to improve access to the waterfront and create a series of new venues for weekly events to draw residents and visitors to Old Sacramento. The city also wants private developers to build additional entertainment venues and hotels.
Our downtown was once an exciting and happening place. What will it take to make our downtown great again?

Q: Cache and Improve performance of JpaRepository method I have the below code.I am using SPRING BOOT and JAVA 8
@Repository
public interface LogRepository  extends JpaRepository<Log, Integer>{

    List<Log> findByDate( Date date) ;

findByDate is returning me suppose 1 million records.findByDate( Date date) method gets fired whenever user is hitting the url /api/get/logs.
How can I keep the data in cache ?I don't want to hit the database every time method findByDate( Date date) is called.

A: Step 1: You need to add @EnableCaching annotation with @SpringBootApplication in your main class.
Step 2: Add @Cacheable annotation in your method like below
@Cacheable(value="user", key="#date")
User findByDate( Date date) ;

For more details regarding the different cache configuration, you can follow be https://howtodoinjava.com/spring-boot2/spring-boot-cache-example/

A: Here a great guide about caching and eviction in spring boot https://www.baeldung.com/spring-cache-tutorial.
However, you shouldn't cache 1000000 records from a single query. It's too expensive and you may risk a socketTimeoutException or a 502 timeout from client/application server. You should implement pagination on your Services (already provided by JPA itself) and eventually cache the pages (pay attention to the updates - take also a look at cache merging annotations)

The number of courses supported by the Ministry of Education and SkillsFuture Singapore is expected to continue to increase, said Dr Muhammad Faishal Ibrahim, Senior Parliamentary Secretary for Education.
Between 2015 and 2016, the number of courses has grown from 2,200 to about 2,600, according to a report by Todayonline on July 5, 2017.
These courses are based in areas of science, technology engineering, mathematics, as well as information and communication technology, said Dr Faishal who revealed the figures in parliament on July 4.
There were about 90,000 training places in 2015 and 105,000 last year.
"We expect this number to be ramped up significantly in the coming years. This will be one of the major changes in our education landscape in the near future," he added.
Dr Faishal also highlighted that lifelong learning is part of the core mission of institutes of higher learning here under the SkillsFuture movement. The autonomous universities offered 29,500 training places last year, supported by the MOE and SkillsFuture Singapore.
Singaporeans are subsidised up to 90 percent for these courses, which generally come in short modules and are "tightly coupled with industry needs," he said. Some modules can also be stacked up to a full qualification over time.


Ryan Coogler has been tapped to produce Warner Bros.' follow-up to Space Jam , which stars NBA superstar LeBron James. Coogler is the producer behind the critically-acclaimed Black Panther movie.
Released in 1996, The original Space Jam had Michael Jordan teaming up with the Looney Tunes characters to take on a team of aliens who want to enslave Bugs Bunny and friends in their intergalactic amusement park. The live-action/animation hybrid was a surprising hit that grossed over $230 million at the global box office.
The new Space Jam begins shooting during the 2019 NBA off-season and is directed by Terence Nance (Random Acts of Flyness, The Oversimplification of Her Beauty).


Razer's gaming tablet surprised the world when it was teased at CES earlier this year, dubbed Project Fiona. Project Fiona is a 10.1-inch, Windows-based gaming tablet which sports an Intel Core i7 processor.
Where it steers away from other tablets, is that it features two joystick handles which both sport dual analog sticks and a normal controller-style layout. Razer CEO Min-Liang Tan teased the world through Facebook, where he asked his followers for 10,000 likes in 7 days - which happened.
Tan then confirmed via Twitter that the production of the gaming tablet is happening, and thus makes a 2012 launch of Project Fiona that much more real. Final design and hardware specifications are not yet set in stone, with various ARM- and Intel-based processors that could be baked inside of the tablet.
The concept was shown off at CES, sporting an ULV Core i7 processor, an unknown GPU, and a 10.1-inch 1280x800 capacitive multitouch display. What we receive in the coming months could be a fair bit different, though.


As we drive off to a gym in the Noosa hinterland where professional Muay Thai boxers train and where we'll be joining them for a training session I feel curiously confidant, beautifully buoyant. Because, against all my expectations, over the course of the last 11 months, fitness has become my forte.
Having tried 50 different exercises this year for the 52 Exercises quest I'm fairly confident that this latest test will be about fitness, not coordination, clothing or skills. I'm pretty sure there won't be any actual fighting involved and I now know I can cope with just about anything else.
I've gone from being a depressed, shy and fearful girl who viewed herself as unsporty and unfit to someone who places herself in the top 20% of fit people in Australia. I've just picked that figure out of a hat but it's probably a good guess.
You could take me to any exercise class, sports club or gym and I'd give anything a bash (pun intended).
I now know my strengths (perseverance, courage and a sense of humour) as well as my weaknesses (hates sweating and getting out of breath, uncoordinated and self conscious) but finally those strengths have overcome the weaknesses.
While I may be streets behind triathletes, fitness instructors and dance teachers in terms of fitness I can literally run circles around the majority of people and not just my people my age.
I know there are plenty of much younger people who wouldn't have the fitness, strength and courage to tackle many of the exercises I've tried this year including skydiving, the obstacle race and the killer steps. Admittedly most people wouldn't want to try different exercise every week for a year as I have, but extreme problems demand extreme measures.
When faced with depression I decided to battle it with exercise and therapy rather than self medication or anti-depressants and I'm thrilled that my crazy plan has finally paid off because for a long time there it looked as if if wouldn't.
The gym is huge, hot and sweaty smelling. It has four fighting rings, eight large punch bags hanging in front of big mirrors and pictures of fights and fighters everywhere.
There are trophies too, small golden cups, medallions and huge engraved bowls and plaques fill shelves and cabinets. I know I won't be winning any but there's a winning vibe in the air.
I have heard of Thai boxing but I don't really know what it is so it's time for me to find out. The usual Muay Thai boxing teacher is away but one of his fighters will be training us. He's a big, quiet Aussie boy with an impressive wodge of muscle behind his neck.
We start off alternating short sprints and push ups. Or was it sit ups… I don't remember now. We'll do both crunches and push-ups alternating with punching and kicking galore over the course of the next 90 minutes. Squats too of course.
If there's one thing I've learnt this year it's that fit people love squats. I don't.
I love the punching and kicking we do in pairs, taking it in turns to grip the punch pad and field the blows and to punch, kick and thwack. It's utterly satisfying and tiring.
We work on flexibility too, partnering up to push each other's legs higher into the air so our highest kicks can connect with our imaginary opponent's skull. It's at once strangely intimate and slightly repulsive to hold a strangers foot in both my hands and stretch their leg up as high as possible.
The idea of actually fighting and kicking someone is utterly thrilling and also beyond the realm of possibility. I know I kicked a door down once but I draw the limit at kicking people. We finish the session working alone on the punch bag and then shadow boxing in front of the mirror.
I'm flattered that he bothers to tell me anything because I think we both know that my Muay Thai career is over before it's begun but it's that lack of pressure that makes it fun.
We pile back in the car to Noosa for a hot shower, a big meal and a long sleep. The next day my arms and shoulders ache from all the punching but despite that, or maybe because of it I feel great.
Finally I'm not beating myself up for not achieving enough. My mental fog has lifted and it's clear I've come a long way.
Is life really better after depression or does it just feel that way?
Muay Thai boxing was the 5oth different exercise I've tried this year. Check out more stories from the 52 Exercise quest now. Stay HOT with the FREE weekly newsletter. It's unique content you can't read on the blog. Click here to subscribe now.
Wow, this exercise looks like a winner to rid oneself of anger, and after the silly trials and tribulations of my day yesterday which had me roaring in exasperation, I could definitely have done with a punch bag and a Muay Thai boxing master egging me on! Well done for getting to your 50th exercise … your steadfastness and resolve has been impressive. Only two to go, and I wonder which ones out of all of them you'll decide to keep up with?
Yes I love a bit of kicking and punching! I wish I had my own punch bag.
I'm not too sure that Thai boxing is for me but I do admire your perserverance at trying new ways of keeping fit! You are a great example to many people that exercise can help depression. Congrats on beating this demon…I know how much hard work it takes.
Thank you. I'm not sure exercise fixed me, I think mindfulness and meditation was the key but exercise never does anyone any harm and the quest definitely gave me a focus for the year.
I know many friends who have found refuge in Muay Thai. It is an incredible way of dealing with depression and one hell of a beautiful art! Thanks for sharing your story!

Created to solve real, timely problems in production-grade applications, Reasonml was built on top of OCaml; a general purpose, industry language created in 1996. Used by the likes of Bloomberg, Issuu and of course, Facebook, OCaml is the technology of choice where speed is vital yet one 'small' mistake could cost millions.
Facebook's story of building on OCaml is by no means unique. A vast list of companies have used/built upon the application, yet ReasonML has still managed to create a storm that's divided the dev community. On the one hand it's ideal when working for the likes of the super platforms or in the financial sector, but on the other, it doesn't seem practical to introduce that kind of syntax within smaller businesses and enterprises who learn as they go. For modest companies, mistakes can be what leads them to success.
Slack is the probably one of the best examples of a start-up doubling down a mistake. The original plan for the team collaboration tool was to be a multiplayer game called Glitch. There were high hopes for Glitch, however it was shut down just a over year into launch. It's developers citied accessibility issues and depth of gameplay as reasons for closure. Yet whilst Glitch was gone, it's unique in-game messaging technology remained. Recently reported to be raising $400 million in a new funding round, Slack's story is testament to business failures leading to great successes.

The UN General Assembly is a unique opportunity to make policy. But not so much in the plenary hall as in the corridors and adjoining offices. That is where the big decisions are made at this type of event. In the absence of understandings or agreements, a message is valid and carries weight because of the very symbolism of the location. And the Iranian Foreign Minister, Hossein Amirabdollahian, wanted to take advantage of the scenario.
"The Islamic Republic of Iran will return to the negotiating table. We are going through the Vienna files and, very soon, Iran's negotiations with the 'four plus one' countries will start again," Amirabdollahian said on Thursday on the sidelines of the Assembly, referring to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) signed in 2015 by Iran and Western powers plus China.
The terms of the pact obliged Tehran to fully dismantle its nuclear programme and provide assurances of full compliance with the agreement. Iran was to ship 97 per cent of its fuel out of the country, curb production of enriched uranium and plutonium, and allow regular inspections of the Fordow, Natanz and Arak facilities. In return, the international community would ease the sanctions regime that has burdened the Persian economy to the tune of $100 billion between 2012 and 2014.

The deal would have frozen Iran's nuclear production for at least the next 10 years, according to experts, as many of the restrictions defined by the JCPOA had an expiry date. However, former President Trump's unilateral withdrawal halted all progress and prompted Tehran to restart its nuclear programme. The US reinstated sanctions and Iran continued to enrich uranium above permitted levels of around 60 per cent purity.
Biden's arrival in the White House altered events. His administration intended to revive the nuclear deal and in June the return of the JCPOA seemed near. However, three months later the negotiating table is still deadlocked, coinciding with the arrival to power in Iran of Ebrahim Raisi, former head of the judiciary and from the hardline wing of the regime, replacing the "moderate" Hassan Rohani.
Raisi and his team appear to be in no hurry. Under his tenure, Tehran has ignored its interlocutors and moved forward on its nuclear roadmap, dragging the burden of the sanctions regime on the Iranian economy. In the meantime, the UN Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has succeeded in expanding its monitoring of Iran's nuclear facilities, despite the Persian authorities' obstructions.

The Iranian foreign minister did not specify the exact date on which Iran will return to the negotiations. But he did criticise Biden on the grounds that the president needs to back up his speech "with concrete actions" to show that the US is serious about the Iran deal. "They say they are willing to resume the deal, but they don't take action," Amirabdollahian noted.
"And what is worse, they have managed to impose new sanctions," he remarked. The minister added that for years, Iran "has not gained any benefits" from the deal, so there is no incentive to return to the JCPOA path. Despite these declarations, the European High Representative for Foreign Policy, Josep Borrell, was optimistic about the resumption of talks after meeting with the Persian representative.
Tehran refuses to negotiate directly with Washington. On the other hand, Amirabdollahian claims to have held "constructive talks" this week with the Germans and the British, who are active parties to the nuclear deal.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Washington's position had been "firm and sincere" in reviving the nuclear deal, but warned that the possibility of returning to the negotiating table is not indefinite. The Biden administration regrets that Iran has so far failed to give assurances to salvage the negotiations.
The positions seem irreconcilable. Tehran advocates a total lifting of sanctions before continuing negotiations. A premise that does not satisfy Washington at all. Meanwhile, Iran is approaching a point of no return in its programme. If it were to obtain nuclear weapons, the starting conditions would break down and the negotiating table would collapse under its own weight. For their part, the Iranian authorities are less and less confident that the United States will ease the sanctions regime within the agreement, so it would make no sense to accept the conditions either.
In this scenario, Washington is preparing a contingency plan. A strategy capable of putting the brakes on Iran's advanced nuclear programme, although at the moment these are only suppositions. An official told the Associated Press that "the only 'Plan B' that concerns us is the one that Iran could be developing if it decides to move forward with its programme and not return to negotiations". At the same time, President Raisi maintains that Tehran is not looking for weapons.

Multiple Twitter users noticed that after typing the word "People," or phrase "Enemy of the People" in the Tweet box, Twitter will suggest they tag "The New York Times" newspaper.
US President Donald Trump has repeatedly called the 'New York Times' newspaper the enemy of the people, most recently on April 5th.
The recommendation happens regardless of whether or not you're following the @NYTimes account, and requires the user to type "People" with a capital P.
Some Twitter users noticed Wednesday that the social media platform automatically associates the phrase "Enemy of the People" with the official New York Times Twitter account, a seemingly strange phenomenon that's fanning the flames of speculation in the current overheated political climate.
In fact, Twitter is not just associating "Enemy of the People" with the 168-year-old newspaper. Typing "Friend of the People" will also trigger as a suggestion to tag the @NYTimes account. As will simply typing the word "People" - so long as the P is uppercase.
