2. In early 1971, my parents decided it was time I moved to Bombay where father worked. My first few days were a disaster. No one spoke Tamil or Telugu, the only languages I knew. I couldn’t keep pace with their writing or reading. Then one day, a slight plump lady with large spectacles, wearing trousers walked into the classroom. “Hello,” she said, “My name is Miss Jean.
I am your new class teacher.” She’d done her homework. Spotting me in a back corner, she beckoned me to the front. My almost empty notebooks must have given Miss Jean a clue that I needed the extra attention. If the class had to write a page, I’d be made to write two. Even during PT, I had to stay back and write. When I was caught sneaking to the window to watch the others playing, Miss Jean put me in the middle row, far from the window.
4. Many years went by. I graduated in engineering, then in management, got a job, married and had kids. One day I found myself thinking of Miss Jean. Soon afterwards I found myself in Sydney, Australia, on an official trip. I tried looking up my teacher in the phone book. But it was of no help as I did not know even her surname. Thank you, Miss Jean, wherever you are for the tact and patience with which you taught me.

A Catskill Catalog: Jan. 21, 2009
W.
For the first 150 years of our republic Congress to the next, took place on March 4, a full four months after the November election. In an era when distance mattered and transportation was difficult, the long period between election and inaugurationo put their affairs in order and make the often arduous trip to Washington.
This “lame duck” period first proved to be a problem in 1861, when southern states, one after the other, passed Articles of Secess. Lincoln, required to wait four months to take power, found himself unable to respond to the growing crisis, since, in the words of our current president, “We only have one president at a time.”
That campaign was a hot one here in the mountains. The legacy of the Civil War had made our area solidly Republican. After all, the Democratic Party had been the party of the south. Lincoln’s Republicans had won the Civil War and ended slavery. The Catskills were rural and overwhelmingly Protestant, and Democrats were identified with cities, saloons, former-slave holding southerners, and largely Catholic immigrants: “Rum, Romanism, and Rebellion” in the words of one late 19th-century Republican broadside.
The Roosevelt Democratic Club carried on a vigorous campaign here, holding a late October rally in Margaretville’s Dugan Hall, now the Granary Building. That rally followed a rally for Landon, organized by the Independent Coalition of American Women, an organization that became the Republican Women’s Club after the election.
Women were very active in the campaign, 1936 being only the fifth. Fanny Hubbell of Kelly Corners led the Roosevelt Club, organizing a campaign luncheon for 60 at the Andes Hotel. The Catskill Mountain News was strong for Landon. The campaign was hard fought. Polls predicted a Landon victory. Roosevelt won in a landslide.
Jubilant Democrats celebrated, perhaps a bit too much. On the Thursday after election, a line of 50 automobiles paraded down Margaretville’s Main Street in what the News described as “a kind of gasoline fan dance to the truck of Ray Shultis,” blowing horns and making merry. On Ray Shultis’ truck, the celebrating Roosevelt supporters propped an outhouse. On the outhouse was a sign that read “Independent Coalition of American Women.” Another sign on the truck read “Republican Propaganda.”
People were upset
Stanley Bussey was one of the few Democratic businessmen in town. His grocery, Bussey’s, became the focus of the boycott.
Forgive, maybe, but forget? Thirty-six years later, I got involved in local politics and people still talked about the outhouse parade of 1936. Surely, hurt feelings, anger, and resentment were still fresh when Roosevelt was sworn in for a second term that January day in 1937. Tough business, mountain politics.


The thought that something God had done for me—a way His grace had intersected my life during one of my greatest struggles—was now helping thousands of other moms lift up their sons was just overwhelming.
The life circumstances that Praying for Boys was born out of still stagger me. We lost six family members and friends in six years, and our two boys—born just 23 months apart—came to us in that same season. That they were of the hard-to-handle variety just made the odds of me winning mother of the year go down exponentially. I’m an introvert, they’re both extroverts. The rubs were just everywhere, and all of it, all put together kept, me on my knees.

Well, maybe not a dime…If you've ever dreamed of staying at one of Disney's high dollar resort hotels, but just can'e's the best kept money saving "secret" i's all in YOUR name and it's all on the up and up!'v've come this far, why not save as much as possible?
I don't know that I would recommend going this route for first-time visitors to Walt Disney World. It's overwhelming enough to navigate your way through advanced dining reservations, FastPass+ and strategizing the touring of 4 tremendous theme parks. However, if you've already got the lay of the land and want to "plus" your next Disney Vacation, renting Disney Vacation Club points is a fantastic way to do so!

Devin-Bodied ’51 Bandini Siluro
What makes an Etceterini an Etceterini? It’s a fair question and one without a complete definition, but in general, we’re talking about race cars of roughly 750, 1,100 and 1,500 cc displacements made in Italy from the late 1930s to the early ’50s. Etceterinis are usually small in size with a high degree of craftsmanship in their construction. Sometimes quite attractive, Etceterinis vary a large amount, even within the same model, but almost all Etceterinis are relatively obscure to this day. This Devin-bodied Bandini Etceterini sports car on eBay is a little different than your average Etceterini survivor car, but it’s truly a veteran racer with well documented and fascinating history.
The 750 cc Siluro was successful in hill climbs, road courses and auto-cross type events throughout Italy and the U.S. Early cars such as this 1951 model sported cycle-type fenders front and rear. A dedicated racer, this car was put on the track right out of the gate in 1952 where it was a force to be reckoned with in the SCCA’s small displacement classes. The owner has listed a pretty comprehensive account of the car’s competition history, which I’ll attach below.
By 1957 though, it would have been hard to call this car anything other than an old race car, and presumably, one with plenty of battle scars. So the owner decided to replace the aluminum body with the smallest fiberglass body that Bill Devin’s firm sold. A good deal of the original chassis was also modified at this time, and the owner states that the following parts are still original to the car: lower frame, front and rear suspension, steering wheel and horn assembly, steering column, aluminum seats, Borrani 15 X 2.75 64-spoke wire wheels, front and rear brake drums, Bandini-modified Fiat 500 transmission, Fiat 500 rear end and drive shaft, fuel filler cap, Bandini emblem and rear script, nose, grill and the tail.
Original Etceterinis are becoming more popular, leaving us to wonder what will become of this car. It’s likely worth more to your average collector as a 750 Siluro restored with the leftover parts from the original body, but it seems to us like you’d be throwing away this car’s uniquely American history.
See the Devin-bodied Bandini here on eBay.
The car's verified history is as follows: This is one of the first 4 Siluro (torpedo) cycle fender bodied Bandinis by Rocco Motto. The first owner Chuck Hassan raced her at Vero Beach in March 1952 and won the index in the 6 hour. Next up was 1952 Sebring where it was leading its class after 4 hours when the transmission let go so a DNF. More races followed and after 6 total races it ended up 24th in the 1952 SCCA national overall point standings. In 1953 it was sold to James Riley who painted it green and raced 3 times. Mr. Riley advertised it for sale in the July 31,1953 SCCA Sports Car Magazine for $2995. Subsequently it was sold to Sandy MacArthur who raced the car 16 times (at least) and finished 7th in the Nation in the Hmod class in 1954. His exploits in it are well recorded and the most notable perhaps was at 1955 Sebring where the Mercury Outboard factory fitted it with one of their sports car racing engines, sadly it was a DNF that day. MacArthur raced it till the end of the 1955 season and then sold it to his friend and mechanic Clair Reuter. The car was pictured in the following magazines: Auto Speed And Sport June 1952, Auto Sport Revue June 1952, Road And Track November 1952, Auto Speed And Sport November 1952, Car Life June 1955, Sports Cars Illustrated July 1955, SCCA Sports Car Magazine Sandy MacArthur article Jan/Feb 1956. Clair Reuter raced the car once in 1956 and then decided to replace the old green aluminum body with a new smallest sized Devin Fiberglass Monza body, styled after a Scaglietti bodied Ermini, at the end of 1957. In 1959 Reuter's friend Earl Carlson towed it using his Bosley GT MK 1 (currently housed in the Petersen Museum) to the drivers school and race at Meadowdale Illinois which is the last known race it took part in. Reuter then set up it up for street use with turn signals etc. and used it as a nice day driver up till the mid 1960's, then parked it in his dry garage. About 6 months after purchasing the car we found some of the original body parts including the nose (with 89 painted on it), the tail and a hood. Around this same time we discovered a letter Sandy MacArthur wrote to Jack Reuter in the 1980's which described the entire history of the car.

Get Excited - This Year With LIFT Will Be The Best One Yet
Welcome to another fantastic year here at The LIFT Teen Center! We're thrilled to be able to provide our amazing teens with unique opportunities and activities, and we want you—our supportive parents, community members, and all of the incredible teens we serve—to join us in celebrating what lies ahead. Whether it's a new team member or exciting new programs that are coming up this year, there's something for everyone with us at LIFT. So get ready and keep reading - find out more about each of our announcements below!
New staff member: Alana Slanec
As LIFT programs expand, our team of dedicated staff members does as well.Alana Slanec on staff as our Northport Coordinator.
Alana it, and began volunteering with LIFT at the end of October 2022. However, she and the LIFT team knew she was destined for a permanent position with our program, and she officially joined the team this month.
“I’ve been following LIFT for years, and I’ve always told Bekah I’d love to be a part of it. She asked me to come on as a volunteer, and I ended up falling in love with it and working here! So far, it is the best job I’ve ever had!” - Alana Slanec, Northport Program Coordinator
We are so excited to welcome her to our team and community, and if you see her during programming or out and about, be sure to say hi! For more staff information, you can read our blog post here.
Programming at Northport in the 2023-2024 School Year
Now that we have a full-time position filled for our Northport Program, we are overjoyprogramming into the next phase of our five-year plan (five schools in five years) and LIFT's Programming for Northport Schools will officially begin in Fall 2023.
Since 2017, we have been working with the students at Suttons Bay Schools to establish our pall who join, and it's time to grow our reach. Throughout the 2023-2024 school year, Northport Schools will have access to full-time LIFT Middle School Programming and events for High School Students. Although all programming will be happening in tangent with Suttons Bay, each school has its program coordinator dedicated to working with teens from that school.
Middle Schoolers will be offered bus rides for the duration  as we are committed to ensuring our programming is 100%.
“We are Leelanau Investing for Teens. We are excited to expand our reach and grow our mission throughout Leelanau County with this new development of our programming!” - Audrey Sharp, Associate Director
If you're curious about programming, you follow our social media here. We constantly post epic activities in which our teens have the opportunity to take part.
Leadership Classes at Leland
As we expand throughout Leelanau County, we plan to expand LIFT Programming to Leland Schools in the 2024-2025 school year. This upcoming year we will begin outreach and relationship-building to learn what teens and their families in Leland most need from our program.
Our Founder and Executive Director, Rebekah TenBrink, will lead a Photovoice project with the students at Leland High School starting this semester. Photovoice is a way for youth to explore topics affecting them today through photography and essays. She will be focusing on the theme 'of hope.' Bekah will be at Leland High Schoolgetting to know Leland teens, talking about leadership and social change, and leading a local Photovoice Project.
Our goal with this project is to sustain relationships throughout the community and continue investing in the success of the community's youth. To take part in this initiative, sign up to volunteer.
Purchasing Two New Vehicles
Accessibility is the number one barrier when it comes to students being able to attend after-school programming in rural settings (like Leelanau County). As our goal is to ensure that 100% of students who wish to participate in our programming can, it is one of our highest priorities to have reliable transportation for our teens.
LIFT is already available to any student at no cost to them, and we want to continue the accessibility trend by making sure we meet each student where they are so that we can accommodate and accept everyone.
“We take the lack of transportation incredibly seriously here at LIFT. The lack of having a reliable vehicle for our students has been an obstacle we are constantly trying to overcome, and we treat this as a top priority.” - Audrey Sharp, Associate Director
As part of our accessibility outreach, we have secured the funding for one bus from 100 Women Who Care in Traverse City, and we are so grateful for their support of our programming and our students.
To help ensure that no student is left behind, you can support this part of our mission here.
Last year, the Summer of 2022, was our first year offering an option for teens to take part in Summer Programming, and it's safe to say that it was a huge success. We had the opportunity to take teens on adventures, show them new hobbies, teach them new skills, and watch them learn and grow in the few short months of the summer.
This year, we plan to do the same. We will have 2-3 activities per week that are available for Suttons Bay, Northport, and Leland students. We know that for some students, summer is a time for vacations, friends, and summer jobs, but for some, it is not. For some students, it's a time of isolation, academic backsliding, and challenging households. Our mission is to offer a safe place for all teens to come together and enjoy summertime in Northern Michigan.
Our motivation behind this part of our programming is to provide students withWe want them to get outside as much as possible, frequent local businesses, and experience new things. LIFT makes it cost-free for our students and provides transportation to homes or a central location. We are announcing the summer schedule as early as May, so stay tuned!We're so proud of all that LIFT has accomplisheWith your help, we know that anything is possible. So join us today and become part of something extraordinary. Thank you for your support!
We hope this overview of upcoming events has gotten you excited about supporting LIFT in the coming year. From our annual events to summer programmiLeelanau Investing for Teens. If you're readyteens, wCan See It In Their Smile: The LIFT Student Market Success

Next to Donna was Helen.  I love the way Helen uses colours and fabrics, the two backgrounds are perfect.  I have been quilting for Helen for a couple of years now and am always amazed at her selections.
During class we learnt that not all 1/4" feet for machines sew a true 1/4", and that not all Jelly Rolls strips start at 2.5" either.  For this class it is important to start with the correct size strip sets.  A couple of the strips were narrower than needed so we used the practice curves cut from some pieces I gave the ladies at the start.
Thank you ladies for a great class on a very wet Saturday morning.  I am waiting to see how your quilts turn out and to see you again in a class with me.

DBRS on Oct. 9 assigned Lloyds Banking Group Plc a R-1 (low) short-term debt rating, with a stable outlook, harmonizing the group's ratings with peers.
The agency confirmed the group's long- and short-term issuer ratings at A/R-1 (low) and its long-term senior debt at A.
Several other ratings of the group's units Lloyds Bank Plc and HBOS Plc as well as its unit Bank of Scotland Plc were confirmed.
The agency confirmed Lloyds Bank and Bank of Scotland's long- and short-term issuer ratings and deposit ratings at A (high)/R-1 (middle), their long-term senior debt of A (high) and the short-term debt at R-1(middle).
HBOS' long- and short-term issuer ratings were confirmed at A (high)/R-1 (low), its long-term senior debt at A (high) and short-term debt at R-1 (low).
The outlook on all ratings remained stable.


SH: Of course, elections often mark a very visible milestone and are seen as an important step or even the ‘crowning event’ of peace processes, but they can also have a negative impact. I think this is because firstly elections are moments of very high-level competition amongst political parties and their competitors, and may therefore spur rather than diminish conflict. So it's quite risky to have elections in contexts affected by armed conflicts.


Lawrence High senior Paiden Bell attempts to dribble past a Shawnee Mission South defender during a game Tuesday night at LHS on Feb. 25, 2020.
The Lawrence High girls basketball team wasn’tS.
a Stewart, Lexi Dutcher and Paiden Bell. But a run in the second quarter by the Raiders forced the Lions to play from behind the rest of the night en route to their seventh consecutive defeat.
Lawrence, which hasn’t won since Feb. 1, has one game remaining in the regular season.
Successful or not, the game was particularly special for LHS senior Sophie DeWitt. Her season was cut short by an injury she suffered against Gardner Edgerton on Jan. 21, but her team engineered an opportunity for her to score the first bucket of the night, with nobody defending her.
The plan to get DeWitt a basket was actually formed a few weeks ago, when Dickson reached out to Shawnee Mission South coach Mark Western about the possibility. He obliged, though DeWitt didn’t find out until just before the game started.
After DeWitt scored, LHS let Shawnee Mission South (5-13, 2-8) score an uncontested basket on the other end to even the score. Freshman guard Amaya Marshall then subbed in for DeWitt, who was greeted with hugs by her teammates on the bench.
DeWitt’s absence has been evident during this recent skid by the Lions. Before her injury, she was the team’s primary defender, while also providing leadership both on and off the court. DeWitt has already Emporia State after high school.
But even if she’s not competing right now, DeWitt has found a way to make an impact and often sits next to Dickson on the bench during games.
All four seniors have helped an inexperienced LHS team grow this season, and that development nearly turned into a win against Shawnee Mission South.
Junior Ozi Ajekwu was dominant early, scoring 9 of her team-high 12 points in the opening period to help the Lions grab an early advantage. Shawnee Mission South scored the first 7 points of the second period and played in front of the rest of the night, though Lawrence never went away.
Sophomore Layla Harjo, freshman Geme Ajekwu and Bell fueled a strong run by the Lions in the third quarter to help them pull within a single point in the final seconds of the third period. Shawnee Mission South then connected on a 3-pointer at the buzzer to create some breathing room, a situation that might have finished Lawrence in the past.
Instead, LHS still had a shot down the stretch. Marshall, along with fellow freshman guards Hailey Ramirez and Serenity Keo, were dynamic in the final period. They attacked the rim and helped force the Raiders to commit a few costly turnovers.
Shawnee Mission South eventually, spoiling a chance for Lawrence to send its seniors off with a win.

The researchers used a special artificial intelligence called graphical neural network (GNN) so that these molecules were associated with their descriptions based on their structures. This is not a software that can be compared to the sensitivity of the human sense of smell, because the latter is very difficult to define. For example, there are scents that can appear in one way for one person and in another.

2015, 4 stars, Documentary
No matter how you feel about De Palma's work, his recollections of film making in 70s and 80s Hollywood are a blast, and he's a very easy and open storyteller. This is an entertaining, comfortable review of his work presented entirely in clips and a single interview.
I looked at the IMDB description for this film, and nearly did a spit-take when I saw it categorized under "Comedy." A woman estranged from her family for years, clearly mentally disturbed and also a recovering substance abuser, arrives at her sister's massive Thanksgiving get-together in Texas, where we get to watch every holler and stomp destabilize her like a gut punch, as she repeatedly retreats to the bathroom or patio to pop pills, smoke and/or eventually, booze.
Not so. I don't care about her and i don't want to care about her. She's a narcissistic cancer and it's neither fun nor interesting to watch the world try to pull her from a dizzying descent down the crapper.
Maggie's Plan – 4 stars
2015, 4 stars, Comedy, Romance
Joy – 2.5 stars
David O. Russell's American Hustle was an over-heralded, stream-of-consciousness mess, but it was nominated for Best Picture, and I was a huge fan of Silver Linings Playbook, so the watching of Joy was obligatory. It was not an altogether unpleasant experience given Russell's command of the camera and his early sense of pace. Russell briskly lntroduces us to Joy Mangano, a little girl and then a young woman destined for great things, if only she weren't consistently thwarted by her lunatic family, a coterie of misfits and weirdos so peculiar they veer into Tim Burton territory. Still, with her one big idea – a self-wringing mop – she perseveres to become queen of The Home Shopping Network, though her journey is an exhausting "one step forward, two steps back" ordeal so arduous, even Jennifer Lawrence's pluck and a kick ass Rolling Stones song ("Stray Cat Blues") can't make the resolution tolerable. One gets the sense Russell knows his audience is bored, because he appears to get bored, veering off into a resolution so off-kilter (Lawrence faces down her business foe in Texas, cutting her hair and donning leather, after reviewing some documents in a "Voila!" moment) it is laugh out loud funny.


Day cares carry kids in ‘killer’ vans
MILWAUKEE- Passenger vans with a well documented reputation for deadly roll-over accidents are still in use by Wisconsin child care providers, despite calls for safer ways to transport children to and from school.
As other states were banning child care providers from using these vans, Wisconsin's Department of Children and Families released a policy in 2010 telling providers to carry on.
The extended or 15 passenger vans are easy to spot.
The vans get their name from a body that extends several feet beyond their chassis, allowing an extra row of seats at the rear of the vehicle.
That extra length and extra row, safety experts say, makes the vans dangerously prone to violent roll-over accidents.
Claybrook has lobbied against the use of these vehicles for decades, beginning with her time as head of.
A growing number of states have implemented outright bans on the use of these vehicles by child care providers.
Wisconsin policy allows this, as long as day cares carry no more than 10 people in the vans at one time, including the driver.
Safety experts who have examined that policy say it does little to increase the vehicles' safety, but only ensures a roll-over accident will have fewer than 15 victims.
"It's a killer policy," said Claybrook. "If you use these vehicles to transport kids or adults, they are going to kill those passengers."
"The department... does require day care providers to follow all laws," a spokesperson wrote.
Other insurance companies refuse to cover the vehicles.
Still, day cares in Wisconsin continue to use them because the state has not forced them to stop.
For example, the Wee B Kids child care center in Brookfield uses a blue Chevrolet van to pick up kids after school.
Wee B Kids management it follows all state laws.
An indication, Claybrook said, parents need to do what the state will not.
"They should go to the school and say we don't want our kids riding in these vehicles," she said.
Because until parents give day cares an incentive to stop putting their children at risk, providers have no incentive to take these vans off the road.


Travel and tales with a clever, albeit cheeky, cat.
~ Hiro Arikawa, The Travelling Cat Chronicles.
The Travelling Cat Chronicles is a sweet story in which Satoru befriends an audacious outdoor cat. When the cat is hit by a car, Satoru adopts it and the two live together for five years until Satoru suddenly must find a new home for Nana (the name he has given the cat).
The two travel from place to place, visiting Satoru’s family and old friends, in search of Nan’s new home. Each stop provides a glimpse into Satoru’s past and personality, while Nana provides sass and entertainment through interesting observations.
As with many Japanese novels, the language is simple yet evocative. We become better acquainted with both Nana and Satoru and invested in their journey together.
The Travelling Cat Chronicles reminded me of Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Alboum, except that one of the protagonists is a cat. Cat lovers will find this heartfelt story especially engaging and amusing.
Incidentally, this was made into a movie in 2018, and was directed by Koichiro Miki.

Delhi - The lawyers for the four men sentenced to death for the brutal gang rape that resulted in a young woman's death in India are now launching an appeal, and the world cannot have it or stomach it.
The sentence was death. Handed down as it was, interpreted, digested, reinterpreted, re-digested; four men gang raped a woman in India so badly that she died from her wounds.
The incident inspired countrywide protests in India and fueled a near-riotous behavior and prattled about until a great nation found its anger, finding also a voice in its anger and its remorse.
And the cold-hearted brutality of the act - far beyond the reach of animal lust - coalesced in the reporting and in the rumination of a population just beginning to recognize and to appreciate the warm tenets of feminism and of respect and of harmony. Indian women were organizing and were vocalizing their collective disdain for a society - both public and private - that had positioned them in a manner that exposed them to this ugly act.
The world felt their collective revulsion. The world could do what it could do; turn slowly, wait for the browning touch of the sun. The world felt, but the women in India felt differently.
They wept and they spoke up. They wore pink and they carried signs. They shared photographs and they postured as best they could, making what could be said said.
And there was hope. And hope was a simple pink gesture in an environment largely defined by a hard lack of such gestures lawyers for the accused gang rape defendants are seeking an appeal from the death sentence they have been handed.
Death is the most noble end for the actions these men have embarked on. Every society is defined by the means it gives its women. As a great civilization that has contributed boundlessly to global society, India has helped write this definition.
And yet, here we sit on the broken craw of this appeal.
Sure, India is a democracy. Certainly. It is the largest democracy in the world. And appeals are part of the democratic process.
But this is different. Its brutality is different.
Indian women deserve their dignity. They deserve the opportunity to preserve their beauty and their poise and the many elements that define them as sophisticated representatives of a sophisticated and complicated society.
These deaths sustain their beauty and their poise and their elegance and their charm - and deliver forward their dignity on the world stage.
Let's erase these blemishes and move a great nation and their great women forward.


Gavin leads us into a large stone room full of bustling, chatting people. They wait in line at a counter, sit at tables, talking in hushed whispers as they lean over their food. I get a few glances as step in, but when Zarek walks in behind me, the room seems to go silent. Wide eyes weighed not only on me, but Zarek, as we're both frozen in the doorway. I wonder if it's just me. If I'm imagining it, or if maybe they don't get visitors that often. I manage to shuffle to the side, watching the eyes drift away and stay locked on their real target.
"Zarek," I state in a low tone. The eyes lock on me, but all I see are his. Their wide and pleading, sorrowful and searching. "Come on." I gesture toward the line, and he steps toward me. I force a smile, continuing to coax him toward me. As he walks the chatter begins to pick up again, and everyone seems to forget that the white-haired boy with dark eyes even exists.
Zarek gives me a small grin, his teeth peeking out between his lips. "Come on, let's get some food!" Gavin calls back to us, picking up a tray. Zarek gestures his hand, the grin still in place, and I move forward to pick up a tray.
Who is this Gavin dude?

Q: Spark window aggregate function not working intuitively with records ordering I have following example which i am running on Spark 3.3
  ("1", 333),
  ("1", 222),
  ("1", 111),
  ("2", 334)id", "val"])
aggregatedDf = (
    inputDf.withColumn("min_val", F.min(F.col("val")).over(window))
    .withColumn("max_val", F.max(F.col("val")).over(window))
The output is as expected, i am getting correct min/max value for each window
+---+---+-------+-------+
| id|val|min_val|max_val|
|  1|333|    111|    333|
|  1|222|    111|    333|
|  1|111|    111|    333|
|  2|334|    334|    334|
When i add orderBy to window, output is different:
window = Window.partitionBy("id").orderBy(F.col("val").desc())
|  1|333|    333|    333|
|  1|222|    222|    333|
As you can see, with desc ordering max_value is fine, but min_value is changing from record to record
I tried to find more informations in docu or here on SO but no luck. For me its not intuitive at all.
My expectation was that Spark is going to scan all records in given partition and assign min/max value for each record within partition, which is true without ordering within window, but works differently when ordering is added
Does anyone know why its working like this?
A: You need to add Frame to get the output you expect.
Note When ordering is not defined, an unbounded window frame
(rowFrame, unboundedPreceding, unboundedFollowing) is used by default.
When ordering is defined, a growing window frame (rangeFrame,
unboundedPreceding, currentRow) is used by default.
Essentially Spark or any SQL will by default consider Window till the current row while processing the function for that row. By adding the Frame as - unboundedPreceding to unboundedFollowing - we ask Spark to consider the whole window instead.
For e.g. while processing min function for the second row in your dataframe (order by value in descending manner), Spark will consider window for id=1 as the first and second row (Between unboundedPreceding and CURRENT_ROW)
window = Window.partitionBy("id")\
.orderBy(F.col("val").desc())\
To understand more about frame, consider reading https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17952_01/mysql-8.0-en/window-functions-frames.html

Engineers (me, for instance) will identify with some situations, but the characters are bizarre and unreal. Whims and biological fancies of the author take over the characterisation completely (Shruti, for instance) and the book is full of ‘notes’ most of which are his observations about women. Some are downright derogatory (which again is okay too!), and some are well, wastage of paper. Here is an example: “The Devil resides in men in three places – mind, heart, and the snake protruding beneath the waist.” Read the book only if you wish to collect some more. Most of such terms find usage over weekend drunken rants in hostels. After a gargantuan amount of effort that went into finishing the book, I would like to let the author know of a few things.
First, identify your target audience. You have done so. Fair enough. Then choose the language. Three percent of our population speaks English. Approximately 40 percent speaks Hindi. Elementary math suggests that you have a better chance in the latter set. And going by the flow of language and style in the book (literal translation into English from Hindi phrases), you would be better off coming up with a Hindi novel. Or if you have a good story to tell, get a good writer to help you write it.
Reading this book is an exercise in itself, which are the characteristics of an Ayn Rand, or a Noam Chomsky title. Not a campus novel. A ‘Chalega’ just for the effort. And nothing more.

This week, Mr. Yakini spoke at the Bloomberg School, hostalk was the Center’s 13th Annual Edward and Nancy Dodge Lecture, titled “Fostering a Just and Sustainable Food System.” He began by referring to the recent takeover in, a move that preempts the authority of elected officials in the city. “Greetings from Detroit, where democracy has been put into a deep coma,” he said. “Essentially, we have a dictatorship now.”

Thnd.
The six floored building has so much to offer that will leave you wanting to come back multiple times. The magical words – 'Gourmet Food' that tops every foodies list, can be experienced here. The first two floors are already functional now and others will be starting soon for the public.
I witnessed the extraordinary dishes that came for our dining experience prepared with the most basic ingredients which just blew my mind. I am sure everyone has experienced the tricks that our moms use to make eat traditional vegetables. Surely, they never worked. This place masters such tricks. Not for a second will you realize the ingredient/veggies used in the lip-smacking dish that you just devoured so happily. I was awestruck with the first bite of every dish I tried Not only did I leave with a full tummy but with absolute heartfelt content.
Mulligatawny – A unique sweet potato soup, flavoured with coconut and spiced with black pepper that hits the throat. Garnished with papad crisps. The flavor was strong for my liking but for those who likes black pepper might like it.
Honey Chilli Lotus Stem – Loved the way lotus stem is turned into Chinese cuisine. Crispy chunks of lotus stem well coated in sweet, tangy and spicy Chinese sauces to give it a profuse flavourful taste.
Mac n Cheese Poppers – I am not a huge fan of Mac n Cheese but who doesn't love poppers? Creamy, cheesy mac n cheese with crisp fried crust is a perfect starter at any time of the day.
After having enough of delicious starters, I was so full. The taste, aroma and magic of flavors hijacked my mind completely. After having such a wonderful start, I was so looking for the mains despite being so stuffed.
Kalinga Margarita – Perfectly baked crisp yet soft pizza topped with lots of cheese, tomato and fresh basil leaves. The basic pizza covered with thick cheesy layer and minimum toppings is what makes it super delicious. Liked it.
We had to take break before we finally hog on to the most awaited and delicious course of the meal.
Mango Cheesecake – I'm not a huge fan of cheesecakes but the yummy flavor of mago made me loved it.
Filter Coffee crepes – Perfectly prepared crepes filled with coffee mousse with chunks of nuts. The presentation was top notch and so was the taste.
Overall Experience – I had an amazing experience with the food I was left in food coma after having such delicious delicacies that I could never think possible. Food is fresh and prepared with most humble and exotic ingredients. No stone is left unturned to make you go gaga over the food. Loved it.
wow its a must go place for veggies I think, I am a pure nonveg but the foods look delicious. The Broccoli looks like chicken kabab! And they have paneer 65 too?
Wow amazing , all their 6 floors made me fall in love . Wish to have edited coffee crepe right now.
Wow the food looks so yummy and delicious. Would love to visit there sometime soon.
THe food definitely looks mouth watering and the presentation of the food is also up to the mark. Best is they have really competitive rates.
Pune is getting some happening food outlets. This one is so cool with multistorey facilities tackling every need! The food here is so innovative.

Brilliant as usual – have booked tickets for the next Burpin’ Gary gig too.
Jamie- you’ve started 2019 in brilliant form. “Socks with crocs”- among many great lines. </s> This trail among New Mexico's highest peaks is off limits starting June 27.
The threat of an extraordinary wildfire season in the southwestern U.S. is forcing land managers to take extraordinary measures to try and limit the potential for catastrophe. So as of 6 a.m. Mountain Time Wednesday, the southernmost stretches of the long Rocky Mountain chain closed to the public when the majority of the Carson National Forest in New Mexico entered stage three fire restrictions.
Stage three restrictions mean the forest is essentially closed to public access, which includes hiking, biking, camping, fishing or setting foot in the forest. Private in-holdings, county and state roads through forest areas remain accessible and of course adjacent towns are still fully open for business, but forest service-maintained trails, roads and everything else are now a no-go zone.
The closure of the Carson comes on the heels of the earlier closure of the adjacent Santa Fe National Forest. Together they mean that all public lands within the Rocky Mountains are basically closed to the public in New Mexico. Only a small sliver of forest land, the Jicarilla Ranger District in the oil and gas-producing mesa lands on the west side of region, will remain open.
Closing the forest isn't unheard of here. It's been seven years since the last closure of the Carson and five years for the Santa Fe forest. 2011 was an especially nasty fire season, when the Las Conchas fire above Los Alamos burned right up to the boundary of Los Alamos National Lab and even threatened to torch some low-level radioactive waste.
Taken at Wild Rivers Recreation Area in northern New Mexico.Eric Mack
This past year in New Mexico has seen precipitation at epic low levels, with winds and heat further drying out the landscape. On Sunday the Rio Grande River was flowing at only 80 cubic feet per second at one gauging station north of Taos. Normally that figure should be somewhere in the low quadruple digits rather than under 100. The mother river of the Land of Enchantment has already started to run dry in the agricultural regions to the south of Albuquerque, much earlier and much farther north than normal.
In recent years, the term "megadrought" has been circulated when talking about the future of the southwest in the Anthropocene. Usually we hear the word thrown around as something that's on the way in decades to come. So much of the worst of climate change always seems to be relegated to the latter half of this century, but those projections also tend to show that we are already on the downward trend towards that super-parched future.
The megadrought shouldn't be happening just yet; we will surely see wetter years again and the forest seems likely to reopen when the monsoon rains finally arrive later this summer. But if this season is any indication of decades to come, a closed sign on the tip of one of the world's greatest mountain ranges may become more a regularity than absurdity. </s> NBA fans were treated to a full court 'God Of War' trailer during Saturday's Warriors vs Spurs game.Credit: Sony
During Saturday night's Warriors vs Spurs halftime show, the lights went out and the first part of a God Of War trailer played on the big screen. Sony's upcoming PS4 exclusive isn't the kind of thing basketball fans are used to seeing during a halftime show, but this was no ordinary trailer.
After those opening moments, the court was suddenly lit up with a top-down, isometric view of the game. The court itself became a giant screen that the audience watched from above in the stands.
It's a unique approach to advertising for a video game, though I think this sort of thing might work better for a sports game like NBA 2K or something more mainstream than God Of War (like Call of Duty.) Still, I appreciate Sony trying to dme of their really unique E3 show last year, which included pyrotechnics and a blend of real sets and video, live music and explosions and so forth.
That being said, it's also a little weird for several reasons:
Oh, and there were some boos after the trailer ended, which is never good.
Let's just hope Sony doesn't decide to do this with Naughty Dog's Last Of Us Part 2 trailer. You could have a lot of traumatized kids come out of that game. </s> Post written by
However, transformation initiatives show distinct differences when it comes to planning, implementation and, ultimately, success. If one considers that the “traditional” approach to transformation revolves around embracing the implementation of technology as the first and only step, then one can also understand why many of these transformation efforts can fail to deliver. This is because transformation is about far more than technology adoption -- it is about enterprise culture and how organizations view and enable their people to adopt change.
Real success in any transformation comes through aligning an organization to become more culturally effective, agile, sensitive, transparent and ownership-driven. In this sort of workplace environment, technology and digital platforms become enablers of end-to-end, enterprise-wide transformation, because the first question is, invariably, “What problem are we trying to solve?” versus “What technology can we throw at the problem?” While it might seem obvious that transformation is less about technology than it is about tackling business problems, many companies are still stuck keeping technology at the core, rather than having their people be the focus.
Whether fixing a supply chain issue, building a new customer-facing platform or working on any other project, if a company’s human capital is not invested in the solution and outcome, any positive impacts will be short-lived. A technology-first approach to change and transformation means that people just own the transaction and not the overarching and fundamental aspect of

Welcome to Blue Nile Falls
The falls are estimated to be 45 metres high, consisting of four streams thatTis Isat, the Blue Nile Falls have isolated ecology Lake Tana from to the rest of the Blue Nile.
It's only a few minute drive from the lakeside town of Bahir Dar, across the Blue Nile Bridge, to the spot where the famous Blue Nile river flows out of Lake Tana. The Blue Nile Falls are about 35 kilometres south of the Bahir Dar, the best approached is from Tis Abay town, a market settlement of the Amhara people who live in this area, farming crops as: sorghum and teff.
Leaving the Tis Abay town, the footpath drops into a deep basaltic rift spanned by an ancient fortified stone bridges. After a 15 minute walk, a stiff climb up a grassy hillside is then rewarded by superb view of the Blue Nile Falls. The site overlooking the waterfall has been visited over the years by many notable travelers, including the Scottish traveller James Bruce, and recently by the Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II.

Does any body have some other suggestions to keep her busy?I'm sure they could help on other occations too when for whatever reason we didn't get to do park/walk/agility or all three in the same day!
restricted activity - how much does the vet say that is?
Restricted for border collies is quite different than other dogs LOL. I have managed my dogs to be semi-restricted. No jump, little run....that's about it. I'd say long walks with a leash- forget the frisbee and toys- OH VEY- for awhile and kinda cuddle. MOST of my BC's (except the famous Usher) quieted down after 9-12 months. He is great now. Worth every moment of torture LOL. MEN!
A trick a day?Give me your booklet!I'd just do some semi-obedience around the house. Some sit-stay commands, mix it up, do some heel and turns, that'll keep her busy. Always fun for both. I like to do the heel and do the quarter turns. It's kind of fun and makes the dog "think" and not too much exercise. Teach her crawl..........great trick for a limited activity dog. Very easy once you have a solid down and a come/down......
EDIT ha ha after posting that I had to throw his ball to see how asleep he is...
P.S. to "sleeping": I recognize that pose!It's one of my favorites, the "tuckered pup"
The vet says totally quiet!I gave her the most pitiful look and she lowered the time down to a week minimum, but she really wants two weeks. Truthfully I have been letting the girls play as long as they are not getting totally crazy fake killing each other and body slamming. I think the real issue that will continue the problem is the 'tackle frisbee' with lots of herding behavior on Emma's part, including dodges, dashes, 180* turns and crashes. I have to get this dog on sheep!
Make no mistake, I love this dog!But OMG I can not wait until the crazy adolecent maniac stuff is a little bit temperd. Actually it's not even that. I just hope I can get her through some of the OCD stuff that she has picked up some where along her very unstable life before we adopted. Small steps!
P.S. While I was writing this the little darling just brought me a DEAD RAT from the back yard!She was out for two minutes, holy **** I think it was dead already...
This can be a bad idea. You want a soft tissue injury to heal properly the first time and not become a reoccurring injury. Kipp is going to continue to be restricted until he goes a couple days with no limping. I hate it, he hates it, but I want him to be healthy and sound in the long run. I gave Kipp anti-inflammatory and pain meds the first few days, but now he is just getting one homeopathic remedy my vet recommended. I didn't want him to feel too good because of the pain meds and therefore try to do even more ( a 30# BC on three legs can still pull like a sled dog...
You're right about letting the girls play, I should stop them. I guess the choices boil down to them playing or Emma pacing the halls which could also hurt her as she is a very serious pacer (habit I'm trying break also) or crating her for longer periods of time when I can't watch her like a hawk. Ack!So frusterating to finally be getting some where with this dog and have an injury set us back!


Given enough time, Gold comes into play.


Line breaking, with regards to paragraph layout, isn’t a very flashy topic. Most people don’t even notice the location of line breaks in a paragraph of written text. However, to people who care, line breaking can be done badly.
There are many different aspects of a set of line breaks in some text. The most important principle is that the text of the line should match the width it's given as best as possible. If there is too much or too little space on a line, the line visually looks jarring. We want to avoid rapid changes of extra space on a line, so we don’t have a loose line followed directly by a tight line. We want to hyphenate words if it makes sense, but only do so sparingly and if required. In addition, we never want to hyphenate two adjacent lines. Similarly, we don’t want t, because there is plenty of space on that last line to accept the full word. One last, more subtle, thing we want to do is to avoid starting a word to the right of where the next line ends, because it would look like that word is floating all alone.
A box. This represents a character or word and has a particular width.
A shrinkability value. This is the same thing, but for when a line is shrunk.
A width to use if a line break is chosen at this item.
The first is the concept of the “adjustment ratio” of a line, given a particular breakpoint. The adjustment ratio is simply the excess space in the line divided by the sum of the stretchability factors of all the glue items in the line. If the line is too long rather than too short, then the calculation is the same thing except with using shrinkability factors instead.
The goal of the execution phase of the algorithm is to minimize the sum of the demerits of each line. The way it does this is actually very straightforward dynamic programming. Scan through the string, and each time you encounter a breaking opportunity, look at prior line breaking opportunities and consider a candidate line between these two opportunities. Compute the demerits of this line candidate. Select the line candidate which has the minimum demerits, and associate it with this particular line breaking opportunity. Continue through the string in this manner until you get to the end. The selection of lines which ends up with the minimum total demerits is the output of the algorithm.
Naively implemented, this algorithm is O(n2). However, there is an optimization which can improve the running time of the algorithm. The fundamental observation is that, given a line candidate’s ending position, there are only a few candidate starting positions which are not terrible. In particular, when we have selected a particular breaking candidate and are looking through prior opportunities, we can limit our search to only the prior opportunities which are not terrible. We can define “not terrible” as “having demerits below a threshold.” If we come across a line candidate that is wildly too long, we can simply forget the breaking opportunity at its beginning in our searches, because there will never be another viable line candidate starting at this opportunity. If our line candidate is wildly too short, we can abort our search, assuming we are searching in the direction of increasing indices in the string (but we can't forget this starting opportunity because it may be valuable in subsequent searches). Therefore, for each ending opportunity in our text, our search will investigate a relatively low (and vaguely constant-ish) amount of line candidates. So, if we choose an appropriate terribleness-threshold, our algorithm is O(n).
It’s worth mentioning what happens when we pick a bad terribleness threshold. If our threshold is too high, our algorithm will take much longer to run (bounding on O(n2)), but it may find a more globally-correct solution. If our threshold is too low, the algorithm will find that it is impossible to find acceptable line breaks all the way to the end of the paragraph. In this case, there is nothing we can do but try again with a higher threshold (or the greedy algorithm, which is guaranteed to find a result).
Because of this, we need to remember multiple ways to get to a particular line breaking candidate if those ways differ in either line count or floating element placement (and possibly things like differing line heights due to fallback fonts). The presence of these “duplicate” elements can cause our search space to grow dramatically. Luckily, we can combat this growing search space by setting our terribleness-threshold appropriately.
Overall, we have a few tools at our disposal. The first is how we classify our input text. The algorithm can be adapted to many typographic scenarios simply by inserting extra items in our stream of classified items. Next, we can change the values (like nominal width, or stretchiness factor) which characterize each item in our stream. Third, we can choose different functions for calculating badness and demerits. Finally, we can select a terribleness-threshold which will balance runtime and the likelihood of the algorithm completing. Some of these parameters are probably language-dependent, which makes selecting them even more difficult.


'What do fairies eat?' I asked.
And so, after we ate the lunch Mum had packed in a picnic basket, we made pretend dandelion cakes and played silly fairy games. Except at the time, they weren't silly at all, they were wonderful.
Sometimes I wonder if Alice ever remembers those times when we played and laughed and enjoyed each other's company. Maybe I should leave one of the family photo albums on her pillow, so she might flip through and be reminded that she didn't always find me as wonderful as a nest of wasps."

project guitar ?
i think it could be really really cool, what do'y'all think ?
does anyone have any good instruction sites for this kind of work ?
also, when it comes to buying a new nut, can i just walk into a guitar shop and buy one or do they have to be custom made ?
Mordeth: As it is now, does your guitar hum less in switch positions 2 and 4?
So what do you actually want your Mexican Strat to sound like ?an Ibanez ?
Moving them together is going to create some real problems, how are you going to do it ?
I've already done some stuff to my Fender Toro and will be doing more thru the next week. My pickguard was one of those crappy tortoise shell looking things. I took it off and sanded it with really fine grit paper and repainted it a flat black. It ain't pretty, but it sure beats how it did look. I am into a more "metal" look, though. So, my guitar is getting a "metal" makeover and sometimes metal has just got to be ugly to work right!


John Dugan, BS, NREMT-P, and Pete O’Brien, MD, FACC, tag teamed a presentation on STEMI recognition.
After a brief review of the current science around the importance around the old mantra “time is tissue,” John began presenting 12-lead ECG’s. The participants had 15 seconds to use audience response technology to answer whether or not they felt the ECG was a STEMI or not. During each case, O’Brien would answer questions and expand on what current AHA/ACC guidelines recommend and would dig deep with the knowledge of an experienced cardiologist.
LBBB is not necessarily a reason to activate the STEMI system.
Early 12-lead acquisition is imperative for timely reperfusion. This means on scene in grandma’s house whenever possible.
BLS providers have the ability to acquire 12-leads and should work with their system to make sure they can.
EMS is the key to timely reperfusion and obtaining First Medical contact to Balloon (FMC2B) times within 90 minutes.

bye </s> Mt. Diablo Unified School District currently enrolls over 32,000 students from a territory that covers approximately 150 sq miles, including all of Concord, Clayton, and Pleasant Hill, as well as incorporated and unincorporated portions of Walnut Creek, Pittsburg, Lafayette, Martinez, Bay Point, Clyde, and Pacheco.
Most school districts in Contra Costa County are approximately 1/10th the size of MDUSD. (The two other large districts are West Contra Costa USD and San Ramon Valley USD.) How did MDUSD get to be so big that it now serves so many students in 10 different communities?
In 1948, Mt. Diablo Unified School District was formed to assume responsibility for all of the grammar schools in Concord, as well as in the surrounding rural areas, and to provide those areas with additional high school facilities. At that time, most of the Diablo Valley was farmland, with very few students living outside the small towns. Postwar education policies favorede districts that, it was thought, would operate more efficiently. Those policies mirrored trends in the postwar economy, in which manufacturing and service companies merged into ever larger corporate conglomerates, in the belief that “larger” always meant “more efficient”.
Over time, MDUSD assumed control over all K-12 public schools between the communities of Walnut Creek on the south, Martinez on the northwest, Pittsburg to the east, and the Delta to the north. At that time, the agricultural Ygnacio Valley area now known as Northgate had few residents, and Walnut Creek had no plans to expand its city boundaries in that area. Only with the suburbanization that began in the late 1950s and accelerated in the 1960s with BART construction and the opening of the local Walnut Creek and Pleasant Hill stations in 1973, did the Northgate area fill in with houses containing thousands of new families and students. By that time, school boundaries were firmly set throughout California, and the State resisted any boundary changes that did not promote consolidation into larger districts.

Located Near Ronald Reagan Parkway, Public Library, and Ronald Reagan Parke fact that is almost wholly unappreciated outside of the oil business is the obligingly shallow nature of places like the Gulf of Mexico and the North Sea. To landlubbers, the sea looks pretty much the same anywhere and, since it gets dark and eerie much below 40m depth, what does it matter? In some cases, the shallowness can have useful effects, such as enabling causeways to be built between islands in places like Orkney and Eilean nan Siar, but mostly, it’s just sea, isn’t it?
Students of paleogeography have unearthed (unsead?) some interesting history in that the North Sea was once much smaller and some 10,000 years ago, it was possible to walk from Yorkshire to Jutland, provided you splashed across the combined Humber and Rhine at some point. En route you would have passed a chain of highlands that are now being called the Dogger Hills.
As ice age snows melted, sea levels rose and the lower-lying parts flooded. Evidence that the area was inhabited are dredged up by fishermen on a daily basis. The last to submerge were the high Dogger Hills, which now lie submerged 18m-60m below the surface. The Geology of the Dogger Bank notes “a buried relief at an average level of 3 m below the sea floor was discovered. Most likely this relief represents a former glacial landscape covered with soft sediments.” So a drowned world exists out in the North Sea.
Curious as this icheese. Let’s imagine that the UK Govt felt threatened by Scottish independence. How could they secure a better share of the North Sea oil billions that would otherwise fall to


Paul Beresford, PhD, Biodesix, discusses utilizing VeriStrat technology to select which patients may benefit from immunotherapies.
VeriStrat is a serum proteomic test that helps physicians select treatment. It is primarily marketed for use in advanced non-small cell lung cancer patients; however, it can be applied to multiple tumor types, said Beresford.
Early stage feasibility studies show that the VeriStrat platform may bepies, including checkpoint inhibitors.
Biodesix is also involved in generating new classifiers through their proteomic platform, which is uniquely suited to addressing questions regarding the impact of immunotherapies on the tumor, says Beresford.
