Generated locustfiles now support both current major versions of Locust (<1 and ~1).
Please note that this support will most likely be only temporary, so all users of Transformer are kindly encouraged to upgrade their Locust (or tell us what’s blocking them from upgrading).
Since Transformer follows semantic versioning, dropping support for some versions of Locust will only be done in a major Transformer version, most likely 2.0 (not yet planned). If you rely on a pre-1.0 Locust, you can therefore continue upgrading Transformer by following its minor updates (e.g. pip install -U har-transformer=~1).
Feeding a Transformer-generated locustfile to a version of Locust more recent than 0.99 (May 16, 2020) now displays a more helpful error message suggesting to use a supported version of Locust. Previously, users only saw Locust crash on a now-invalid import from the locustfile. Thank you @TimSC for reporting this issue!
Any valid plugins that are in a current directory can be used by Transformer without previous installation. Thank you @jredrejo for your contribution!
The generated scenario classes always inherit from TaskSequence (instead of a TaskSet) when they use the @seq_task decorator. Thank you @kbrowns for reporting this!
No functional changes in Transformer! Moved tests away from the Transformer package and refactored them to use common fixtures.
No functional changes in Transformer! Fixed: pushing tagged releases to Github.
No functional changes in Transformer! Fixed the formatting of this Changelog and configured Travis to automatically push tagged releases to GitHub.
Added support for http PATCH method.
Request’s headers are now stored in a case-insensitive dictionary, making the implementation compatible with the requests library (used by Locust).
Blacklisting mechanism now opens the .urlignore file once per execution of the program, instead of once per Request.
transformer.request.Request.har_entry
This new read-only property contains the entry as recorded in a HAR file, corresponding to the specific Request object. As requested by @xinke2411
A header in all generated HAR files now contains the version of Transformer and its new repository’s URL.
transformer.request.Request.name
Controls Locust’s URL grouping. Its default value is url, which usually does the right thing and ensures retrocompatibility. Thank you @xinke2411 for this addition!
transformer.python.ExpressionView
An Expression that wraps a non-Expression (e.g. a Request instance), similarly to how Standalone is a Statement that wraps an Expression. Helps manipulating non-syntax tree objects as part of the syntax tree.
A functional test suite in functional-tests/ (with only one simple test for starting). It is part of make test and can be run alone with make functest.
When processing HAR requests with the application/json MIME type, Transformer no longer uses the params field as a replacement for a missing text field. This was a mitigation for a bug in a different, Zalando-internal tool.
The documentation has migrated: from Markdown files (some in the repository, some in the GitHub wiki) and loosely Markdown-formatted docstrings in the code, to a Sphinx site under docs/ and rich docstrings. Most Markdown files have been converted to reStructuredText in the process, including this changelog.
The documentation is no longer accessible from the GitHub wiki, but is now hosted by Read The Docs at <URL>
The release process has changed: A new PyPI release is now published for each commit to the master branch. This should prevent situations where the documentation advertises features not yet released.
A bug in the conversion between Task and Task2 makes Transformer ignore all changes made by plugins to request. Thank you @xinke2411 for reporting this!
Lack of functional tests made us miss the fact that Transformer started crashing when run on the HAR files from the examples/ directory. Transformer was fixed and the appropriate unit and functional tests were added.
transformer.task.Task.as_locust_action
As part of the merge between Task and Task2 (#11).
as_locust_action() generates locustfile code as a string, which is made obsolete by the transformer.python syntax tree framework.
transformer.decision
Unused API for combining a boolean (the decision itself) with a string (a user-friendly explanation for that decision).
Release date: 2019-02-22 11:38 CET
transformer.dump() & transformer.dumps
Named by analogy with json.dump() and json.dumps(), these high-level functions should be all most users need to know about the Transformer API. They convert lists of scenario paths and plugins into a locustfile.
They will replace transform(), which requires more familiarity with Transformer’s internals.
transformer.locust.locustfile_lines
Similar to locustfile() but returns an Iterator str over lines, instead of a unique string containing the full locustfile contents.
This design allows for more flexibility in dump()/dumps() and should result in smaller memory usage for huge locustfiles.
Hooks for OnTask, OnScenario, OnPythonProgram
Preliminary support for new-generation plugins.
The dump(), dumps(), and transform() functions by default use the Sanitize Headers plugin, even if users don’t provide it in the plugin list.
This is because the resulting locustfile would almost certainly be broken without this plugin. Users can still opt-out from default plugins by passing the with_default_plugins=False keyword-argument to these functions.
transformer.transform.transform
Replaced with dump() and dumps(), see above.
transformer.locust.locustfile
Replaced with locustfile_lines(), see above.
Fix a crash of the transformer command-line tool due to a missing version identifier.
Publish development releases to PyPI for every merge in the master branch.
har-transformer on PyPI
It looks like the package name transformer is already taken, unsurprisingly.
Command-line entrypoint
Transformer can now be called using the transformer script installed by pip, or via python -m transformer.
Specification of OnTask, OnScenario, OnPythonProgram
Aiming at eventually deprecating OnTaskSequence.
transformer.plugins.contracts.Plugin
Represents an instantiated plugin.
This project is open-sourced in <URL> The git history prior that is removed per company policy.
transformer.plugins.Plugin is renamed transformer.plugins.contracts.OnTaskSequence.
In favor of Poetry.


Purchasing the same rewards again?
I found a number online and called it and the woman tried to tell me that I could only use it once every 2 years, she was obviously clueless. She calls her supervisor and comes back and says 'we see no reason why you can't purchase this'...'but we can't help you, you have to contact PlayStudios'...I say 'I thought you MyVegas and PlayStudios were the same?And I did contact them last week but I am getting no response'...
Has anyone else ever had this issue and been bounced around like this trying to get it resolved?
I get that same message when I try to buy the $50 drink credit at NYNY pianos, but I've purchased the $50 Monte Carlo food credit a couple times in the past and using it again in a couple weeks ...
After 5 days of sending tickets, emails, and phone calls. I finally got a response back from MyVegas/PlayStudios. The above posts are correct, we're basically only allowed to use the comp once per player. Personally I think this is the most ridiculous thing ever. From what everyone here says, mLife is all above keeping play inside the casino/hotel where you got comped. So being that I am loyal to the Mirage, and I want to spend my LoyaltyPoints on a buffet, it would make sense to let me go back to Cravings in the Mirage. But now since I have to use my points at the Bellagio or Aria, guess what casinos I'll be spending my money in prior to and after the buffet?
Can only use rewards once?
Can only use the rewards once in a lifetime?

Bologna listen (help·info) (Italian pronunciation: [boˈloɲːa], from the Latin Bononia, Bulåggna IPA: [buˈlʌɲːa] in Bolognese dialect) is the capital city of Emilia-Romagna, in the Po Valley (Pianura Padana in Italian) of Northern Italy. The city lies between the Po River and the Apennine Mountains, more specifically, between the Reno River and the Savena River.
Home to the oldest university in the Western world, University of Bologna, founded in 1088, Bologna is one of the most developed cities in Italy. Bologna often ranks as one of the top cities, in terms of quality of life in Italy: it was ranked 5th in 2006, and 12th in 2007, out of 103 Italian cities.[1] This is due to its strong industrial tradition, its wide range of highly-developed social services, and its physical location at the crossing-point of the most important highways and railways in the country. Bologna is a lively and cosmopolitan Italian college city, and it has a rich history, art, cuisine, music and culture, and was made 2000's European Capital of Culture[2]. Bologna, also, did not make it as a 'world city', unlike Milan and Rome, however GaWC described Bologna as being part of the 'high sufficiency' category, along with other cities such as Lyon, Canberra, Sacramento and Las Vegas.[3]

In the 4th century BC, the city and the surrounding area were conquered by the Boii, a Celtic tribe coming from Transalpine Gaul. The tribe settled down and mixed so well with the Etruscans, after a first aggressive period, that they created a civilization that modern historians call Gaul-Etruscan (one of the best examples is the archeological complex of Monte Bibele, in the bolognese Appennine). After the Battle of Telamon, in which the forces of the Boii and their allies were badly beaten, the tribe accepted reluctantly the influence of the Roman Republic, but with the outbreak of the Punic Wars the Celts once more went on the path of war. They first helped Hannibal´s army to cross the alps then gave him a consistent force of infantry that proved itself decisive in several battles. With the downfall of the Carthaginians came the end of the Boii as a free people, the Romans destroying many settlements and villages (Monte Bibele is one of them) and the founding of the colonia of Bononia in c.189 BC. The settlers included three thousand Latin families led by the consuls Lucius Valerius Flaccus. The Celtic population was ultimately absorbed in the Roman society but the language survived in some measure until today in the Bolognese dialect, which linguists say belongs to the Gaul - Italic group of languages and dialects. The building of the Via Aemilia in 187 BC made Bologna an important centre, connected to Arezzo through the Via Flaminia minor and to Aquileia through the Via Aemilia Altinate.
In 88 BC, the city became a municipium: it had a rectilinear street plan with six cardi and eight decumani (intersecting streets) which are still discernible today. During the Roman era, its population varied between c. 12,000 to c. 30,000. At its peak, it was the second city of Italy, and one of the most important of all the Empire, with various temples and baths, a theatre, and an arena. Pomponius Mela included Bononia among the five opulentissimae ("richest") cities of Italy. Although fire damaged the city during the reign of Claudius, the Roman Emperor Nero rebuilt it in the first century AD.
After a long decline, Bologna was reborn in the fifth century under bishop Petronius. According to legend, St. Petronius built the church of S. Stefano. After the fall of Rome, Bologna was a frontier stronghold of the Exarchate of Ravenna in the Po plain, and was defended by a line of walls which did not enclose most of the ancient ruined Roman city. In 728, the city was captured by the Lombard king Liutprand, becoming part of the Lombard Kingdom. The Germanic conquerors formed a district called "addizione longobarda" near the complex of S. Stefano. Charlemagne stayed in this district in 786.
In 1294, Bologna was perhaps the fifth or sixth largest city in Europe, after Cordoba, Paris, Venice, Florence, and, probably, Milan, with 60,000 to 70,000 inhabitants. After being crushed in the Battle of Zappolino by the Modenese in 1325, Bologna began to decay and asked the protection of the Pope at the beginning of the fourteenth century. In 1348, during the Black Plague, about 30,000 inhabitants died.

After the happy years of the rule of Taddeo Pepoli (1337–1347), Bologna fell to the Visconti of Milan, but returned to the Papal orbit with Cardinal Gil de Albornoz in 1360. The following years saw an alternation of Republican governments like that of 1377, which was responsible for the building of the Basilica di San Petronio and the Loggia dei Mercanti, and Papal or Visconti restorations, while the city's families engaged in continual internecine fighting. In the middle of the fifteenth century, the Bentivoglio family gained the rule of Bologna, reigning with Sante (1445–1462) and Giovanni II (1462–1506). This period was a flourishing one for the city, with the presence of notable architects and painters who made Bologna a true city of art. During the Renaissance, Bologna was the only Italian city that allowed women to excel in any profession. Women there had much more freedom than in other Italian cities; some even had the opportunity to earn a degree at the university.
With the rise of Napoleon, Bologna became the capital of the Cispadane Republic, and later, after Milan, the second most important center of the Repubblica Cisalpina and the Italian Kingdom. After the fall of Napoleon, Bologna was once again under the sovereignty of the Papal States, rebelling in 1831 and again 1849, when it temporarily expelled the Austrian garrisons which controlled the city until 1860. After a visit by Pope Pius IX in 1857, the city voted for annexation to the Kingdom of Sardinia on June 12, 1859, becoming part of the united Italy.

Bologna experiences a Humid subtropical climate (Köppen climate classification Cfa) characteristic of Northern Italy's inland plains, with very hot summers and cold, humid winters. Temperatures exceed 30 °C (86 °F) often from May to early September and heatwaves are very common during the summer. Because of the high rate of humidity, perception both of heat in summer and cold in winter are amplified. Due to humidity, fog is very common during late autumn and winter (as in most parts of Northern Italy). Annual precipitation ranges from 700 millimetres to 800 millimetres concentrated usually in spring and autumn. Snowfall can occur from late November to April, but snow accumulation occurs mainly from December through February. The coldest temperature recorded is −19.8 °C (−4 °F) on 13 January 1985, the highest temperature ever recorded was 40.6 °C (105.1 °F) on August 2003.

Until the early nineteenth century, when a large-scale urban reconstruction project was undertaken, Bologna remained one of the best-preserved medieval cities in Europe; to this day it remains unique in its historic value. Despite having suffered considerable bombing damage in 1944, Bologna's historic centre, one of Europe's largest (after Venice),[citation needed] contains a wealth of important Medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque artistic monuments.
The cityscape is further enriched by elegant and extensive arcades (or porticos), for which the city is famous. In total, there are some 38 kilometres of arcades in the city's historical center[6] (over 45 km in the city proper), which make it possible to walk for long distances sheltered from rain, snow, or hot summer sun. The Portico of San Luca, one of the longest in the world (3.5 km, 666 arcades)[7] connects the Porta Saragozza (one of the twelve gates of the ancient walls built in the Middle Ages, which circled a 7.5 km part of the city) with the San Luca Sanctuary, on Colle della Guardia, over the city (289 m.).
The Sanctuary of the Madonna di San Luca is located just outside the city proper. Traditional place of worship for the presence of an image the Virgin of St. Luca as well as reassuring visual landmark for Bolognese approaching town, the shrine located on top of Guardia hill is one of Bologna's symbol. The 666 vaults of the arcade - unique for his length covering almost four kilometres (3,796 m) - link the shrine with the town and provide a shelter for the procession which every year since 1433 has brought the Byzantine Madonna with Child to the cathedral downtown during the Ascension week. Built in the eleventh century, it was much enlarged in the fourteenth and eighteenth centuries. The interior contains works of several masters, but probably the most important is the painting of the Madonna with Child attributed to Luke the Evangelist.

Bologna is a very important railway and motorway hub in Italy. The economy of Bologna is based on an active industrial sector which, traditionally strong in the transformation of agricultural products and in animal husbandry, also includes the footwear, textile, engineering, chemical printing and publishing industries, as well as on flourishing commercial activity. The city's Fiera District (exhibition area) is one of the largest in Europe, with important yearly international expos of the automobile sector (Bologna Motor Show), ceramics for the building industry (International Exhibition of Ceramic Tiles and Bathroom Furnishings) and food industry. Bologna and its metropolitan area have several important industries in the fields of mechanics, food, tobacco and electronics, important retail and wholesale trade (the "Centergross" in the northern part of its metropolitan area (built in 1973), and one of the first Italian vegetable and fruit markets.
Bologna is home to Guglielmo Marconi International Airport, expanded in 2004 by extending the runway to accommodate larger aircraft. It is the tenth busiest Italian airport for passenger traffic (over than 4 million/year in 2007) and is an intercontinental gateway.
Bologna is served by a robust system of public bus lines, run by ATC.
As of 2006, 91.88% of the population was Italian. The largest immigrant group came from other European countries (mostly from Romania and Albania): 2.82%, East Asia (mostly Filipino): 1.50%, and the South Asia (mostly from Bangladesh): 1.39%.[9]

Bologna is also home to other prominent universities such as the Bologna Center of the Johns Hopkins University, otherwise known as the SAIS Bologna Center.
Bologna's large student population has largely contributed to the city’s vibrant and varied nightlife. "Erasmus" nights are hosted at several bars to cater specifically for international students studying on exchange. A few clubs particularly geared towards "Erasmus" are the Corto Maltese and the Lime Bar, both offering significant discounts for foreigners on party nights. There are a number of clubs of differing styles and modes to cater for all music tastes. These venues have been known to stay open late into the night with many energized partygoers not arriving at the venue in question until 1am to start their night fueled with drinking and dancing.
Bologna is renowned for its culinary tradition. It has given its name to the well-known Bolognese sauce, a meat based pasta sauce called in Italy ragù alla bolognese but in the city itself just ragù as in Tagliatelle al ragù. Situated in the fertile Po River Valley, the rich local cuisine depends heavily on meats and cheeses. As in all of Emilia-Romagna, the production of cured pork meats such as prosciutto, mortadella and salame is an important part of the local food industry. Well-regarded nearby vineyards include Pignoletto dei Colli Bolognesi, Lambrusco di Modena and Sangiovese di Romagna. Tagliatelle al ragù, lasagne, tortellini served in broth and mortadella, the original Bologna sausage, are among the local specialties.
The Teatro Arena del Sole.
The theatre was a very popular form of entertainment in Bologna until the 16th century. The first public theater was the Teatro alla Scala, active since 1547 in Palazzo del Podestà.
A very important figure of Italian Bolognese theatre was Alfredo Testoni, the playwright, author of The Cardinal Lambertini, which had great theatrical success since 1905, then repeated on the screen by the Bolognese actor Gino Cervi.
In 1998 the City of Bologna has initiated the project "Bologna dei Teatri" (Bologna of the Theatres), an association of the major theatrical facilities in the city. This is a circuit of theatres which offer diverse and colourful cultural and theatrical opportunites, ranging from Bolognese dialect to contemporary dance, but with a communications strategy and promoting unity. Specifically, the shows on the bill in various theatres participating in the project are advertised weekly through a single poster.
The main theatres of Bologna are:
Arena del Sole, which has two rooms, with a generally popular and international repertoire
Teatro Alemanni, the temple of commedy-like Bolognese dialect
Theater for Celebrations, a billboard dedicated to comedians and contemporary dance
Teatro Comunale di Bologna, which hosts musical performances by opera and symphony
Teatro Dehon, which offers the largest billboard as theatrical genres and duration of the season and hosts the productions of the theatre company
Teatro Testoni, dedicated to performances for children and young
Theatres or other places of entertainment:
Teatro Manzoni, which hosts the dance programme organized by the Teatro Comunale
Teatro San Leonardo, managed by the School of Theater of Bologna "Alessandra Galante Garrone" theaters and nouveau cirque
Teatro San Martino, contemporary dance theater
Theater of life, theater and contemporary dance
Bologna offers a lot of festival and happening, among the others:
Angelica: International Contemporary Music Festival [12]
Biografilm Festival: International Film Festival devote to Biography [13]
BilBolBul:International Comic Festival [14]
Danza Urbana: International Street Contemporary Dance Festival [15]
Il CInema Ritrovato: International Film Festival about Forgotten Films [16]
Gender Bender: International Festival on the gender identity, sexual orientation and body representation [17]
Human Rights Film Festival [18]
Soccer is still a highly popular sport in Bologna; the main local club is Bologna F.C. 1909, which is currently in Serie A.

at home/away basketball and football games, intercollegiate competitions, Bands of America, Honda Battle of the Bands, on-campus events, as well as in the community. The members of our team pride themselves on passion, dedication, and heart for our team, our university and dance. If you love to dance, are dedicated and motivated, and want to be part of a TEAM in every sense of the word, the Sophisticated Ladies Band Dance Line is a tremendous opportunity available to you during your college years.
**IMPORTANT: In order to audition, you must provide proof of admission to Tennessee State University for the upcoming fall semester and be able to demonstrate your acceptance to the University via acceptance letter/housing form.
What skills are included in tryouts for the Sophisticated Ladies?
Yes. We offer a technique clinic once a month prior to the tryout process to help prepare perspective members for the audition. You can sign up in the band office located in the Performing Arts Center.
During the academic year, we will typically practice 4-5 days per week for 2-4 hours. Practices begin the first week of classes and end January. Practices increase and may be held on weekends in the time before major national events the band may be invited to attend, working with our choreographer, trainer etc. The team is required to return early to campus in July/August for band camp and remain on campus until school starts. The team also maintains a required conditioning program with our trainer 4 days per week.

The revelations at Nuremberg were extremely discomforting to the American medical establishment: the sheer unprecedented scale of immorality of the Nazi doctors was staggering — and the potential of guilt by association. The fact that the American medical profession had also enthusiastically embraced eugenics; Americans provided financial support for Nazi racial hygiene research; they adopted Germany's medical education model and research methodology; American physicians supported and participated in forced sterilizations. Several Nazi doctors tried at the Nuremberg Doctors Trial cited unethical experiments that were conducted by American doctors.
In 1942 Foster Kennedy, president of the American Euthanasia Society, advocated killing "feebleminded" "defective" children and adults whom he called "Nature's mistakes," "hopeless ones who should never have been born." (Jay Joseph. The Missing Gene, 2007) An anonymousided with Kennedy, and even advocated for "enabling legislation" to facilitate the process legally.

White Rock, which was stymied on two good scoring opportunities by some solid Enchantment defense, finally got on the board in the sixth with Tyler Thorn’s RBI single, bringing Jake Downs around.
Clint Adams hit a driving home Downs and Mang. In the fourth, Mang and Thorn had RBI base hits to drive in Nick Capelli and Chris Funk.
The next batter, Adams, came through with another RBI double. For the game, Adams was 2-for-2 with 3 RBI.
After what looked to be a great start in the state Juniors Little League softball tournament, the White Rock All-Stars struggled.
White Rock was bounced from the state tournament Sunday, falling 16-0 to Coronado in an elimination game. White Rock fell into the loser's side of the tournament with a 20-1 drubbing at the hands of Gallup.
It was a rough turnaround for White Rock, which won big in the first round of the tournament, being played in Albuquerque. White Rock pounded Albuquerque South Valley 14-2 in its opener Friday.
Manager Jim Zerr was left scratching his head a little bit after the two weekend losses that knocked his squad out of contention.
“The girls are good ballplayers,” Zerr said. “They're usually good hitters, they usually don't make a lot of errors. I don't know if it was jitters, but I've never seen them have two back-to-back games like that.”
“It didn't go the way we wanted, and it didn't go the way we expected,” he said.
The White Rock 9-10 baseball team was bounced from the state tournament in Albuquerque Sunday, dropping a tight contest to Deming.
White Rock scored its four runs early in Sunday’s contest, pushing two more across in the top of the third.
Despite the loss that put White Rock out of state title contention — it lost its first tournament game Friday night — Matuszak said he feels a lot better at the end of this tournament than he did in the 2007 state tournament, in which White Rock was beaten by double-digit scores in two games at Roswell.
Following Friday’s loss, White Rock came back to beat Mile High 16-7 in a loser’s bracket game Saturday.
“We battled hard to the end,” Matuszak said. “That’s what I wanted to see out of them, and we were alive right until the end.”
In the tournament opener Sunday, Albuquerque Altamont took advantage of 15 walks to top White Rock 15-5.
White Rock managed just two hits on the game, one by Jones and one by Lauren Schleft.
The team’s other tournament results hadn’t been reported as of press time.

Effect of ursodeoxycholic acid treatment on ileal absorption of bile acids in man as determined by the SeHCAT test.
Metabolism UnitThe effects of urodeoxycholic acid on ileal absorption of bile acids and on serum bile acid and lipoprotein concentrations were studied. Eight healthy subjects were investigated. The gamma emitting bile acid analogue, SeHCAT, was given orally and its fractional catabolic rate and seven day retention were assessed by repeated external counting over the upper abdomen during the next seven days. Ursodeoxycholic acid was then given orally at a dose of 15 mg/kg/day for three weeks and the study was repeated during treatment. The fractional catabolic rate increased by 64% (mean (SD), 0.333 (0.159) v 0.203 (0.061)/day; p less than 0.05) and seven day retention decreased by 44% (15(10) v 27(10)%, p less than 0.001), indicating bile acid malabsorption. Total serum cholesterol fell from 5.79 (1.22) to 5.50 (1.18) mmol/l (p = 0.05), while serum ursodeoxycholic acid increased 22 fold (7.87 (2.67) v 0.34 (0.24) mumol/l, p less than 0.001). Five of the subjects continued taking 30 mg/kg/day of ursodeoxycholic acid for one week and showed an increase in fractional catabolic rate of 81% (0.300 (0.091) v 0.166 (0.037)/day; p less than 0.05) and a fall in seven day retention of 50% (16 (12) v 32 (8)%, p less than 0.01)5.36 (1.71) v 6.08 (1.47) mmol/l; p less than 0.05) and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (3.70 (1.33) v 4.58 (1.16) mmol/l; p less than 0.05). The results support the concept tht ursodeoxycholic acid treatment interferes with the absorption of endogenous bile acids, and emphasise the beneficial effects of this treatment of lipoprotein concentrations in man.


The Bank of England’s (BOE) ability to support the economy will be hampered if Brexit is delayed again, BOE’s.
Britain’s economy had been so damaged by uncertainty about Brexit – chiefly via a steady fall in investment by companies – that it could hamper the BoE’s ability to help it.
I see less of a case for a more accommodative monetary position if the deadline for leaving the European Union is pushed back beyond Oct. 31.
Ramsden is cautious about the economy’s growth potential due to Britain’s poor record on productivity which contracted at the fastest annual pace in five years in the second quarter.
The global trade war is weighing on firms’ willingness to invest around the world too.

I found the gun placement somewhat confusing as the guns are all nearly the same size except the large gun which is mounted up front on its own tower which was odd usually such a gun is mounted aft but that is accurate in this case.

Brexit, Stage Right: In a historic vote, Britain has decided to leave the European Union, an event known as the Brexit. There are lots of interpretations of the outcome. Time calls it a “new milestone in the global war on elites,” while The Telegraph says Europe now faces an existential crisis as a result. The Mirror notes that younger voters who wanted the Brexit least must now live with it longest. In response to the Brexit, Scotland’s Prime Minister has said the event makes a new Scottish independence vote “highly likely.” In the immediate aftermath, the global economy did not react well. U.S. stocks swooned initially, BSE Sensex dropped over a thousand points, and markets in general were “freaking out.”  Meanwhile, forecasters learned a little more about how well prediction tools worked in regard to the vote.
Euroskepticism Elsewhere: Pew Research reports, “A median of just 51% across 10 EU countries surveyed have a favorable view of the European Union. A median of 42% in these 10 nations want more power returned to their national capitals, while only 19% favor giving Brussels more power and 27% favor the status quo.”
Half Connected (Almost): We will soon cross the threshold when over half of humanity has some form of Internet connection at home. Around 46% of the global population has an Internet connection of some kind at home, and the pace at which new users are getting connected has slowed in recent years. Nonetheless, we should cross the halfway mark well before 2020 and perhaps even as soon as 2018.
Hot, Hotter, Hottest: May 2016 was the hottest month on record and the 13th consecutive hottest month, according to NOAA. Meanwhile, the heat index in Iran hit 165 degrees the other day.
U.S. Productivity Doldrums: The U.S. is enduring one of the worst bouts of stagnant productivity growth in its post-WWII history, and no one knows why. From 2011 to 2015, the percentage annual change in productivity was just .5%. The last time there was such a dismal five-year cluster of low productivity growth was from 1978 to 1982.
U.S. Middle Class Losing Ground: Pew Research reports, “From 2000 to 2014 the share of adults living in middle-income households fell in 203 of the 229 U.S. metropolitan areas.”
Yet, the World Is Getting Better in Many Ways: The world is improving in terms of poverty rates, health expenditures per capita, and human welfare in general.
The Rise of the Machine Learners: Google Trends shows that machine learning is a phrase on the rise. Machine learning is behind a lot of the AI news these days.
MOOCs Are Also on the Rise: The number of massive open online courses continues on a steep growth trajectory. Dhawal Shah, founder and CEO of MOOC discovery database, Class Central, has cataloged it since 2011.
Phobias Might Be Inherited Memories: It seems too odd to be true, but there’s new evidence that we might be able to inherit memories from our ancestors. That would change the way we think about inheritance in general, and it would be another sign that epigenetics has vindicated many Lamarckian concepts that have long since been discredited.

of punishment in the city of Rome itself. As described by Pliny but elaborated by Gallia, Cornelia's refusal to be touched as she entered the subterranean tomb recalls the long-standing sacrosanctity of the Vestal's robe. Her gesture, working as an illustration of both her innocence and her access to the deep memory of the Vestals in the Republican city, ultimately calls into question Domitian's exercise of total political and religious control and pretensions to the Republican-flavoured virtue of severitas.
Gallia's next chapter, 'Persuasion,' invokes a kaleidoscopic vision of the role of oratory as a public practice and expression of libertas for generations of the senatorial elite. Working with Pliny's letters and Tacitus' Dialogus de Oratoribus and Histories, Gallia focuses on the actions and reactions of senators in response to the injustices of Domitian's reign, as filtered through the comparable period of amnesty and commemoration of the victims of Nero's reign, itself filtered through the remembered lives and deaths of Cicero and Cato Uticensis, as figures for the lost moral authority of Republican political oratory. This chapter conveys a very convincing sense of polyphony, both diachronic and synchronic. One thus gets a sense of the richness of the conversation among the elite so often obscured in scholarship on Imperial control of memory and discourse that focuses solely on the emperor's actions as an individual, as Gallia does himself in the previous chapter. The conclusion here is, accordingly, less satisfying but perhaps a more authentically open: 'the complexity of the relationship between Republican and Imperial oratory was something that every member of the Roman aristocracy had to negotiate on his own terms' (176). Taken together, these two chapters show Gallia's ability to adapt his method to the material under discussion.
Chapter 5, 'Inscription,' contrasts two men who combined public life with writing lives: Silius Italicus and Frontinus. In both the Punica and the Strategemata, these two Domitianic-era authors refer to Republican-era exempla, but 'reflect a way of thinking about Rome's past in which the libertas of the Republic was no longer a realistic alternative to the present system of government.' For these men, the Republic is just one field from which to draw examples of (in this case) military heroism; Greek or even Carthaginian cultural examples are now just as relevant to Imperial-age readers. The chapter tries to show how these two texts, each with their own unique literary and political biography, yet similarly understand the past as a container of ideas which have meaning in the present, and similarly downgrade the special meaning of the Republic as an alternative to the Principate. Gallia's conclusion is once again open, almost minimalist. The chapter – while laying out the interplay between these two disparate authors working with disparate historical examples in deeply different texts – yet finds coherence in the question of self-commemoration and the immortality sought by these authors as conductors of, among other things, the virtues of the Republican past.
Finally, in Chapter 6, 'Restoration,' Gallia turns to a series of coins minted under Trajan which are re-issues of Republican era coins, and which were carefully selected to highlight exempla virtutis associated with Republican era notables. He traces out how once again libertas is invoked and reworked, now in the context of commemoration, to convey the renewal of moral freedom offered by Trajan's good government. Trajan's coinage thus seeks a form of continuity with a certain vision of the virtues of the Republic as for the first time in a century 'the accomplishments of people outside the imperial house are commemorated on Roman coinage' (245), unproblematically 'subordinated to the authority of a single, solely powerful princeps' (246).
I have discussed each chapter in this book individually to reflect the somewhat fragmented nature of Gallia's argument. Throughout this book, the central concept of memory is occasionally obscured as Gallia admits himself in his conclusion: "Tracing the multiple facets of Republican memory may strain the argument's cohesiveness at points, but even that is not entirely accidental. If there is a unifying thesis for the above discussion, it is that the multiplicity of contexts in which the Republican past could be remembered contributes to the basic incoherence of 'the Republic' itself as an object of Roman memory" (251). The book deals with many subtopics under the umbrella of 'Roman remembering': the preservation of history through ritual action; the competition intrinsic to political commemoration; the unwritten history of words and images; the strata of the past made visible in Rome's urban topography; the contemporary power of remembered trauma as it refracts through amnesty, vengeance, reparation, and memorialization; and, finally, the role of memory at the social, political and familial level in the formation of elite Roman male identity. Any one of these rich topics could have been emphasized, privileged, or individually theorized more fully, but Gallia's approach presents these ideas swarming together, letting certain key ideas and phrases reverberate throughout. A stronger hand might have benefitted the argument in certain densely-layered sections, but the overall effect is quite pleasing, and very readable. The prose throughout is clear and jargon-free.
Certainly, individuals will find points with which to quibble across the 'unruly mass of material' (248) arrayed and analysed here, where depth has occasionally been sacrificed for breadth. Gallia provides the apparatus for such disagreement, however, in his meticulous footnoting and bibliography. Moreover, the strength of the book is in its inclusiveness and openness; Gallia does not close down other avenues in his interpretations but rather layers interpretations upon interpretations, making many fine and insightful observations along the way. While I do not subscribe to all of Gallia's individual conclusions, this book should be read and admired both for taking on such a complex question with circumspection and sagacity and also for doing so with the kind of critical spirit that prefers to multiply rather than subtract and is thus infinitely more valuable.

Again, I am not sure if this is some kind of staged propaganda, or the real deal. Either way it is heart breaking and terrifying at the same time. We have heard in the last few days that BOTH sides had access to these weapons, was this from the rebels, or the assad army?
Didn't really look like real people, almost looked like mannequins...
EDIT: They also didn't move...
Selective chemical weapons?
White phosphorus..............

Broward's Undemocratic Democratic Primaries
Welcome to Broward County, where primaries are democratic with a Big "D".
And they won't count when it comes to picking who will be the next:
Sheriff (seven Democrats running),
Clerk of the Courts (five Ds running),
With that many Democrats running for each office, the successful candidates will win with only a small number of votes.
Let's look at the race for sheriff.
Clerk of the Courts Brenda Forman won the primary three years ago with 50,866 votes in a field of three. That's a tiny fraction of the voters in Broward — less than 5 percent — and is far from a resounding show of support.
Blame Broward's one party rule by Democrats.*
Blame the state's closed primary law.
Closed primaries disenfranchise roughly half of Broward's voters by prohibiting Republicans and Independents from voting in the Democratic primary. And the Democratic primary is the only election which counts in most Broward local races.
It wouldn't help in next year's races, but it's a start.
The Florida Supreme Court is reviewl registered voters in Florida—including the 3.2 million who are not major party members—to vote in some primaries.
The amendment would cover only primaries for governor, the cabinet and Legislature.
The amendment would work like this:
There would be one primaryCandidates would be allowed to list their party affiliations.
The first and second place candidates in each primary race would win a place on the November ballot.
"Needing to attract votes among those 3 million-plus NPAs and minor party members would have a moderating effect on both parties. Republicans could no longer run hard to the right, Democrats could no longer pander to the farthest left part of their party, as candidates in both parties do now to get nominated," Bill Cotterell, long-time journalist in the state Capital wrote in the Tallahassee Democrat.
The leadership of both major parties.
"," Cotterell wrote.
It is the Democratic leadership in Broward and a handful of consultants who like the system the way it is. They have learned to manipulate it.
"I don't have to care about anybody but the few Democrats who show up in primaries," one candid consultant told me.
There are a lot of hurtles to clear before the amendment is law:
The Supremes must approve the ballot language.
The sponsors must get 766,200 signatures statewide to place it on next year's ballot.They currently have a little more than half, according to news reports.
The amendment must then be approved by 60 percent of the voters.
The Legislature must then pass laws implementing the amendment.
Currently, it may be called the Broward Democratic Primary.
But it surely is not democratic when it disenfranchises half of the county's voters from choosing the next sheriff and other important offices.
*Many other Florida counties have one party rule by Republicans, which is the same perversion of democracy.
An attorney who practices statewide says:
The worst clerks office in the entire state
Make each political party reimburse the Supervisor of Elections for the cost of their primaries — which are essentially private affairs. You'll see the parties change their tune if they have to pay for this miscarriage of democracy.
FDRidiculous says:
Democrtic dominance of this county is indicative of how out of step it is with the rest of Florida. Broward politics is ridiculous
Slang dictionary: SNAFU "Situation Normal All F'd UP". Can be used as an adjective to describe the process of electing candidates in Broward County, FL.
NPA Voter says:
Why shouldn't NPA (Florida doesn't have Independent, just No Party Affiliation) voters in Florida help decide an election? Just because we're not tied to the 2 mainstream parties doesn't mean our voices don't count. It does and it will continue to do so.
Maybe if both mainstream parties got their act together, we'd have faith in one of them. In the mean time……
I agree Primaries are expensive and needless.Here in Ft.lai they just changed it where no more Primaries.In other words if 2 ,3 whatever run it's winner take all.( I love it).Also all city etc elections should coincide with the Nationals.Which is what we have.now also in Ft.Lau.This way with no Primary and having election on say a presidential election u will save money.Badically putting the elections in big basket.Come November of 2020 should be quite interesting.With no Primary and coincide with the president election will be a huge success.Good luck to all canidates.
Really????? Democratic influence can't be that important. There is only ONE statewide elected Democrat in office, Nikki Fried. The FloriDUH legislature, cabinet,ns. If a candidate runs as a Democrat, let Democrats CHOOSE who wins. In the general election, EVERY votervote. Do YOU want to pick the Democrat? Then join the Democratic Party. If you'd prefer a Republican, join their party.
This is a Trojan Horse proposal, designed to continue the State's reputation as FloriDUH!!!
If Broward were R dominant you'd hear the Ds demanding open primaries! The Ds have created a system that produces Snipes, Israel, the school board majority etc. I guess it has to get worse before the voters wake up.


ang </s> The first #ukrunchat training weekend was done at Anglesey but I never attended it. I was unsure about whether it was something I’d get “along with”. I thought I wasn’t a serious enough runner, I usually feel socially awkward and uncomfortable (anyone who’s met me will agree how difficult I can be), and I wasn’t sure how easy it would be to fit in with the others there. My doubts got the better of me and I never went. Looking and hearing about the weekend I did think that it sounded quite fun, and maybe me not being a serious runner wouldn’t matter too much.
I’d then heard that there was going to be another one in the Lakes, and I started to reconsider, but it clashed with the London Marathon. So when the Eastbourne #ukrunchat weekend was announced I started to really consider whether it was something I could do. It took me weeks of deliberation, in part due to it’s proximity to my Mexico trip, and in part I thought I just wouldn’t fit in. Eventually I decided I should go – after all, I knew one friend would be there so hopefully if I didn’t pester her too much I’d at least have someone to talk to every now and then if it turned out everyone there hated me.
Friday – Travelling to Eastbourne!
Saturday – Parkrun!
In the first mile one of the local runners (from the same club that had provided the pacers) ran straight into the back of me and just kept on going without even acknowledging he’d done it. It wasn’t a narrow part either, and it wasn’t exactly crowded either.
After the yoga was over we then had the #ukrunchat bake off. For this I was one of the three judges so got to try all of the cakes, but had to be very judgemental about them. Usually I just eat cake and enjoy it, but as part of the judging we decided to judge them on their appearance, and to very carefully taste each one. We judged each cake on both of these criteria and scored each out of 5 for a total score out of 10. The Canadian “Nanimos” (one of the vegan choices) won the bake-off, with #ukrunchat themed cup cakes coming a close second, and then the truffles and Pims sponge cake coming in joint third. All the cakes were great and tasted so good, so a massive well

My response to her is... "Real spinel gems are produced by Mother Nature, just as gem zircons are. Man does produce a synthetic version of spinel in the laboratory for use in class rings and low cost jewelry, so the lady at the store is probably accurate in describing her jewelry."
Synthetic spinel is readily identified with a microscope or by measuring the refractive index or specific gravity with gem instruments. Also, the chemical formula is a little different than natural spinel.
Spinel is actually a mineral group called magnesium aluminum oxides. The spinel family of gems all have similar chemistry and crystal structure.
Red spinel is historically the most prized color. Many red spinels were originally identified as rubies. The Black Prince Ruby in the British crown is a great example.
Spinel gems naturally occur in many other purple, violet, lavender, white (colorless), and black.
Experts are divided on the question of whether natural spinel occurs in yellow. I've seen yellowish-green stones, but never a true yellow.
Pure spinel is colorless. Colors occur when nature allows chromium, cobalt, iron, zinc, manganese, and/or nickel to substitute for a little of the magnesium or aluminum in the crystal lattice.
Red spinel gems are colored by chromium, just as rubies are.
Natural spinel gems are closely related to sapphire and ruby. (corundum) in chemistry. Corundum is aluminum oxide (no magnesium).
Here is a table showing the similarities of spinel and corundum.
Spinel gems are more rare than sapphires and rubies, but curiously, about one third the price. In my opinion, they are just as beautiful. I consider all that to be good news.
Because these to gems are so similar, it is not surprising that they occur together in metamorphosed impure limestone (marble), and in the gem gravels that result from the decomposition of the marble.
It is thought that the spinels crystallize first, using up the available magnesium. Gems that crystallize after that are corundum because of the lack of magnesium.
Spinel is a name with disputed origin. Some say the word comes from the Latin word "spina" (thorn), a reference to the common crystal shape. Others theorize the name is from the Greek word "spinther" (spark), a reference to color.
Spinel ruby is an outmoded name applied to this gem. Other old names include balas ruby. This a reference to the ancient mining location of Badakhshan,Spinel was mined there in ancient times. about the year 750 AD, and probably earlier.
Spinel gems were recognized as a distinct species in 1587 in Burma (now Myanmar), but was not recognized in other parts of the world for another several hundred years.
The earliest known use of spinel for adornment was about 100 BC in a Buddhist tomb in Afghanistan.
Spinel gems are now mined in Tanzania, Madagascar, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Burma, Afghanistan, and neighboring regions of Central Asia. There are other, less commercially important deposits in additional locations.
spinel gems is a keyword search phrase that return a number of internet listings and ads... but probably none with prices as low as mine.

A week and a half ago John and I picked up the document stating that James’s cemetery site was paid for. We were very close to his spot, but we didn’t have time to visit him because I had to meet someone at my new school so I could move into my classroom. It felt wrong to rush off to the next thing, and ultimately it feels like a betrayal to be leaving him behind at all. Going back to work is like turning my back on our time together. It feels like I am walking out on a vigil I am supposed to keep. I loved teaching, and I missed it when I left, but I didn’t want to come back to it like this.
The day before I went back to work, John and I spent time at James’s site for the first time together since we chose it the day after he died. On that day the tropical storm had refreshed the lakes and created new pools all over the cemetery, and I had cried so much my contacts had clouded over and I could barely see. This day was sunny and cool, and the tears still came, but they aren’t the continual stream they used to be. I think my vision has cleared, too, and not just my eyesight.
We snapped off the pansy seed pods, brushed the dirt off his photo, and talked to him a little while. John remembered his beautiful smile and his ready laugh of “Hmmm!” Lizards stalked stiffly along the shady crevices of the marble slabs. I thought how James would have enjoyed them.
Recently I read that one of James’s HPE blog-buddies turned five this month. Hopefully everyone reading this can appreciate what a milestone that is! Ryland has the same degree of HPE that James had, severe semilobar, with a new problem of possible seizures. Ryland’s mom described her idea of a wonderful day, and I could completely identify: seeing him smile, not being in the hospital, watching him learn something new, or hearing a doctor’s good report.
That was my life, too. It felt so limited at the time, but there was a heightened joy and hope and thankfulness that was the flip side of the sadness and pain of disability. I miss that life. That complicated, exhausting, intense, but beautiful life of singleminded service.
I don’t want to move on, but I have to.
Posted on November 10th, 2008 by John.Categories: Meditations on Scripture, Our Journey, Our Journey (chronological).
There seems to be less to say these days, for the same reason our camera seems to have less pictures on it. We still remember things vividly, especially as annual events cycle past (our big church picnic, Halloween, a friend’s daughter’s birthday party) and we reflect on how things were so different a year ago. The memories are fresh, but a lot of the zest is missing from the present. We go through the motions of our former lives, but without James or Dora, things feel more subdued.
In truth, it isn’t because we have nothing more to say that we haven’t been updating the blog very recently. Abby is trying to write a book about our children and some of the things we’ve learned. We don’t know a thing about finding a publisher or anything like that, but God has clearly indicated that she’s supposed to be doing this, and we believe that the rest will follow. One of the most recent confirmations is a check we received in the mail on Friday. It was our payment for allowing one of my early blog posts to be published in a compilation volume. We’ll put up a link when the book is in print.
On October 27, all of James’s grandparents came down for a special time of remembering James at his graveside inurnment service. Although it is just a physical place, and not really where James is right now, James has a little blue box inside a niche in a shady section called the Garden of Reflections at All Faiths Memorial Park a few miles from our home. Something about seeing the caulk applied to the niche to seal it shut before the marble wall was bolted on was difficult for me; I can’t explain why. It was so final. I know he’s not in there, but it seemed so sad nonetheless.
Abby’s dad planted some pansies in a planter which we were able to put in front of the niche – white to represent the innocence of an infant, and blue to represent a heavenly home we believe he is resting in. Adorning the planter are a plastic bee to stand for one his first toy friend, a plastic truck to stand for one of his later toy friends, a little jack-o-lantern to remind us of how photogenic he was this time last year. Also we placed a little picture of James, because it seemed incomplete without a smile.
I wish I could remember all the things the grandparents shared about James. I know they talked about how engaging he was, how courageous, and how attentive. How his sweet character and focus on others was so unusual for a child. They shared some favorite memories, and we all cried because we missed him so much. When there was no more to say, we read these scriptures and tried to focus on the hope of eternal life, the goodness of God, and his love for those like James:9:13-15, 18:1040-1128-32 The overall theme that we wanted to convey during the service and the lunch we shared afterwards was from John 12, when Jesus tells Not that we mean to compare in any real way the death of our son and the death of the Savior of all mankind, but our hope, just as we’ve hoped ever since we started this blog, is that something about James and our testimony as his parents would be a seed of faith in the gospel of Jesus Christ for anyone who is searching for on | Comments (10)


Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV agreed to pay $29,500 in wage increases and bonuses to the typical United Auto Workers member over the next four years, according to a summary of a pact reached with the union last week.
The hefty average disbursement is a result of significant concessions Fiat Chrysler made to the UAW to boost wages for less-senior and temporary employees.
Newer hires that started at lower wages and have been progressing up the pay scale will reach the top hourly rate by the end of 2023, according to people familiar with the tentative agreement the company and union clinched Nov. 30. Fiat Chrysler will also open up the pathway for temporary workers to reach full-time statuUAW vote on the proposed pact.
About 59% of Fiat Chrysler’s U.S. workforce are “in-progression” and 13% are temps, Chief Executive Officer Mike Manley told analysts during an Oct. 31 earnings call. Because those percentages are much lower at both General Motors Co. and Ford Motor Co., the pay bumps will have a greater impact on Fiat Chrysler’s labor costs.

My Honey Bee necklace arrived!
Product name: Honey Bee Necklace
Product name: Baby Flower Stud Earrings
The necklaces made a special gift for two special girls
I've lost count of the compliments I've been given about this necklace
I was given a Michelle Dench 'My Angel Necklace' by a very dear friend. Both the silver wing and the pearl have a beautiful gleam to them. The silver often catches the light and stands out nicely. It's a beautiful design, simple, delicate and yet very strong. It looks very elegant and I am able to wear it during the day and also for a more formal setting. I'm so happy with it, it feels like it was made especially for me.
Anna S. </s> The museum’s depot was originally built by the Chicago & North Western Railway in 1894 at Ablemans, Wisconsin, three miles west of North Freedom. The rail line through Ablemans was built in 1873 by the C&NW. The name of the village was changed from Ablemans to Rock Springs in 1947.
There were many similar depots located throughout the North Western’s system. The depots at Waunakee and Wonewoc, Wisconsin, for example, were identical to Ablemans.
Railroad business increased at Ablemans and the depot was enlarged in 1916 to a length of 83 feet. The interior was remodeled to include a larger office of 12 x 14 feet with a 5 foot passage and ticket window at the rear of the office. A 15 x 17 foot men’s waiting room was constructed to the south of the office, as well as an 8 by 17 foot warm room and a 17 by 30 foot freight room. The work was done by the Bridge and Building crew working out of the Division Office in Madison.
A 1930 Station List shows Ablemans as Station X926 with telegraph call “AM.” A 1935 timetable lists eastbound train #510 at 6:10am, motor #518 at 3:01pm, and westbound train #507 at 8:47am and #519 at 7:29pm. A 1951 timetable shows one westbound and two eastbound trains stopping. In 1956 the second main track and the shelter shed on the east side of the tracks were removed and in 1961 the station was closed with all work from Ablemans (Rock Springs) handled out of Baraboo.
