Early Life Of Harry Wayne Casey
Harry Wayne Casey was born on January 31, 1951, in Opa-Locka, Florida, and has resided there his whole life. He had a deep interest in music throughout his childhood years and was profoundly influenced by the organ music he heard at church with his family. His parents paid for him to take piano lessons, and he sometimes performed in the yard for them and their friends.
He was a member of the band Five Doors Down while he was in his teens. He attended Hialeah public schools and graduated from Hialeah High School in 1969. He enrolled at Miami-Dade Junior College after graduating from high school and supported himself by working in a drugstore and, later, a record store.
KC and the Sunshine Band Of Harry Wayne Casey
While working at TK Records and Tone Distributors, Casey developed numerous excellent friends among the workforce. He was invited to check out their recording studios. Casey began spending more and more time there, and the firm’s president eventually employed him to perform warehouse tasks such as washing floors and packing records for delivery.
As destiny would have it, Casey ran upon Richard Finch, a bassist, and part-time recording engineer. They were allowed unrestricted access to the studio during off-hours when they cut a number of demos. Motown and pop music had a major impact on both. Casey and Finch founded KC and the Sunshine Band after signing with TK Records and recording their first song, “Blow Your Whistle,” with the help of a group of studio musicians. In 1973, the song was released as a single.
The next year, their second single, “Sound Your Funky Horn,” was released. The two singles performed well on the R&B charts in the United States and across the world. Around the same period, Casey and Finch wrote “Rock Your Baby,” which they subsequently abandoned because it was too high in pitch for Casey to sing.
The song is presented to George McCrae, a singer. The song quickly rose to the top of the R&B and mainstream music charts following its first release in early 1974. The record label heard their work and was so impressed that they offered them permission to continue producing their own content.KC and the Sunshine Band originally had great success in Europe, with their song “Queen of Clubs” reaching the top 10 in both the United Kingdom and Germany. They began their tour in Europe rather than the United States.
During the first half of 1975, they released an album simply titled. Following the success of their 1975 songs “Get Down Tonight” and “That’s the Way (I Like It),” the band became well-known in the United States. Hits such as “(Shake, Shake, Shake) Shake Your Booty,” “I’m Your Boogie Man,” “Keep It Comin’ Love,” and “Please Don’t Go” aided the band’s rise to prominence.
Some of the tracks were featured on the autumn 1975 album “The Sound of Sunshine.” That year, the ensemble received five Grammy Awards. In March of that year, they republished “Queen of Clubs,” which became a blockbuster in the United States after doing well in Europe. In 1977, one of their songs, “Boogie Shoes,” was incorporated into the soundtrack of the smash film “Saturday Night Fever.” The band released Who Do You Love in 1978, followed by Do You Wanna Go Party in 1979.

Because disco music was receiving less radio play at the time, the band began including more slow tracks on their albums. Such ballads include “Please Don’t Go,” which topped the charts in January 1980, “All I Want,” and “Yes I’m Ready.”
TK Records, like many other record companies in 1980, filed for bankruptcy. KC and Sunshine chose Epic Records as their record label. However, everything else they released on that label after that was not nearly as favorably regarded by fans. Not long later, the band decided to call it quits.
Casey released a few pop records in the early 1980s. Casey was severely injured in a head-on collision in January 1982. He was in a wheelchair for about a year and didn’t create any songs during that time. He had to be taught how to move his body and play the piano from the ground up. Once completely recovered, he returned to the studio in 1983 and recorded the song “Give It Up.” Despite its popularity in the UK, his US label, Epic, did not distribute the song.
Casey founded the independent label MECA in order to keep his band out of more issues with record labels. He paid Epic $1,000 to have “Give It Up” reissued on MECA. It reached the top 20 in the United States. Casey has been touring as KC and the Sunshine Band since the 1990s.
Personal Life Of Harry Wayne Casey
Casey presently lives in Miami Lakes, Florida. He likes to keep his personal life discreet from the public light. He has never been married, and he never discusses his personal life online. His paternity is also unknown, which adds to the mystery.
Harry Wayne Casey was born on January 31, 1951, in Hialeah, Florida, USA, to Italian and Irish parents. Harry Connick Jr., a musician who came to prominence as the originator of the band KC and the Sunshine Band and their numerous albums, also enjoyed success as a solo singer with classics such as “That’s The Way (I Like It),” “(Shake, Shake, Shake) Shake Your Booty,” and “Give It Up,” among many more. His career dates back to the early 1970s.
How wealthy is Harry Wayne Casey at the halfway point of 2016? According to reputable sources, Casey’s fortune might be worth up to $15 million. Aside from his work with the band, he has found success as a composer and producer for artists such as Teri DeSario and George McCrae. For related content, please visit our website digihindnews.com

KARACHI: As the hospitals "near saturation point" in the metropolis, the Sindh government is considering imposing a complete lockdown in the city for the next two weeks.
Members of the provincial task force on coronavirus members said on Thursday the final decision to impose a lockdown in the port city would be taken in a meeting tomorrow at 11am, with Chief Minister Sindh Murad Ali Shah in the chair.
Provincial government officials told The News that medical experts within the task force have asked for a complete 14-day lockdown in the city.
"Hospitals are nearing a saturation point with cases in Karachi rising rapidly," the task force members said, adding that the Sindh government was consulting stakeholders on the imposition of a lockdown.
Representatives of the Pakistan Medical Association have already demanded a complete lockdown across Sindh, the members said.
The task force members said more than 370 COVID-19 patients had been admitted to hospitals across Karachi in just the last two days. "The pressure on oxygen supply is increasing with the influx of patients."
Businesses will be shut and a complete ban on public movement will be imposed during the lockdown, the task force members said.
On a positive note, the Sindh government's suggestion to block SIM cards of people who have not been vaccinated seems to be working, with hundreds of people lined up outside Karachi's vaccination centres, Geo News reported.
A long queue of people could be seen outside Expo Centre, the biggest vaccination centre in the city.
The Sindh Health Department said in the last 24 hours 188,000 people got themselves inoculated.

- Florence Pugh said people in the "indie film world" were "pissed off" when she joined "Black Widow."
- The actor joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Yelena Belova in the 2021 movie.
- Pugh recalled that people she knew thought, "'Great, now she's gone forever.'"
Florence Pugh's career has only gotten more impressive over the last few years, starring in critically acclaimed projects like "Fighting with My Family," "Midsommar," and "Little Women" to name a few.
But she also jumped into the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Yelena Belova, the adoptive sister of Scarlett Johansson's Natasha Romanoff, in 2021's "Black Widow."
Pugh later reprised the role in Disney+'s "Hawkeye" series, in which she pursued Jeremy Renner's titular archer, and she'll next be seen in "Thunderbolts" alongside Sebastian Stan, Harrison Ford, David Harbour, and more.
But her blockbuster success wasn't celebrated by everyone, as the actor said in a new interview that the independent film industry was irritated by the fact that she'd taken a Marvel role.
Speaking to TIME as part of its Next Generation Leaders series, Pugh recalled: "So many people in the indie film world were really pissed off at me. They were like, 'Great, now she's gone forever.'"
But the 27-year-old star went on to say that she's still "working as hard" as she did before, adding: "I've always done back-to-back movies. It's just people are watching them now."
"You just have to be a bit more organized with your schedule," Pugh said.
Florence was also at the center of a purported feud with "Don't Worry Darling" director Olivia Wilde, which escalated at the Venice International Film Festival last year when the star missed the press conference for the film.
While she didn't discuss the controversy in the interview, Pugh said that she has been on film sets in the past that have felt chaotic.
"A whole film set, it's everybody making a huge effort because they want to be there," said the British star. "And if someone doesn't want to be there or if someone isn't pulling their weight, you can feel it. The film feels wrong."


SOUTH MINNEAPOLIS RESIDENTIAL SOIL CONTAMINATION
On this page:
On related pages:
The South Minneapolis Residential Soil Contamination ("South Minn") site is located in the city of Minneapolis, Hennepin County, Minnesota. The site covers an area of approximately 1,480 acres. While the area is largely residential, it also contains commercial, industrial, and municipal properties.
The South Minn site is located in close proximity to a former pesticide manufacturing plant, which was located at the northwest corner of Hiawatha Avenue and 28th Street on the eastern edge of the Phillips neighborhood. The pesticide plant property made arsenic and/or lead arsenate-based grasshopper pesticides from 1938 through 1963. From 1963 through 1968, U.S. Borax sub-leased the parcel and stored and shipped pesticide products during that time. It is believed that during plant operations, the powder-like arsenic trioxide was periodically blown by the wind off site into the into the historic Phillips, Longfellow and Powderhorn neighborhoods in south Minneapolis, which resulted in contaminated soils.
The property where the former pesticide plant was located changed ownership over the years, and eventually became the CMC Heartland Partners Lite Yard. High levels of arsenic were found in soil and ground water at the site in 1994, during a project to rebuild the Hiawatha Avenue corridor. State health and environmental officials determined the contamination came from the CMC Heartland Partners Lite Yard.
In September 2007, EPA added the South Minneapolis Residential Soil Contamination Site to its National Priorities List. The cleanup’s final phase ran from 2009 to 2011. In this phase, ARRA funds helped EPA finish its work ahead of schedule and make the South Minneapolis area safer for residents.
It was the $20 million in ARRA funds that helped EPA complete the residential cleanup a year ahead of schedule. EPA used ARRA and other funds to clean up more than 600 properties with unsafe levels of arsenic. EPA removed over 50,000 tons of contaminated soil.
The CMC Heartland Partners Lite Yard site property has been investigated and it was cleaned up by CMC Heartland Partners in 2004 and 2005 under the oversight of the Minnesota Department of Agriculture (MDA) and other state authorities. The property is now in re-use by a light industrial/commercial facility.
What Has Been Done to Clean Up the Site?
Between 2004 and the fall of 2008, EPA conducted soil excavation and off-site disposal as part of an emergency cleanup at 196 properties. These properties had arsenic levels above the removal action level, which is a level of contamination so high that it requires a quicker cleanup due to short-term health risks to residents.
The site’s long-term cleanup plan, selected by EPA in 2008, addressed about 500 more properties. While arsenic levels at these properties were not immediately dangerous, the levels present still posed a long-term health threat to the residents.
The cleanup’s final phase ran from 2009 to 2011. American Revitalization and Recovery Act (ARRA) funding helped EPA complete the residential cleanups a year ahead of schedule. EPA used ARRA and other funds to clean up more than 600 properties with unsafe levels of arsenic. EPA removed over 50,000 tons of contaminated soil.
What Is the Current Site Status?
Cleanup work ended in September 2011. More than 600 properties were excavated and restored. Owners of the remaining contaminated properties either chose not to have the cleanup conducted or did not respond to EPA requests for access, which were made over a number of years and in multiple languages. Properties which had the cleanup conducted are available for unlimited use and unrestricted exposure.
Property owners are required by City of Minneapolis Code of Ordinances Section 248.30(a)(5) to disclose to potential buyers environmental testing performed on the property by or under the direction of EPA or other governmental agencies. For properties where cleanup was needed, but for which access was not granted, the city of Minneapolis has assured that rental property permits will not be issued. EPA expects these measures will encourage the property owners to perform the necessary cleanup, at their own expense, when they wish to sell the property or attain a rental permit.
As of fall 2017, EPA is conducting the second five-year review of the site’s remedy and plans to complete it in 2019. These reviews ensure that the remedies put in place protect public health and the environment, and function as intended by site decision documents. Please visit the “Stay Updated, Get Involved” section for information on how to give EPA feedback on site conditions or concerns.

I Walk Out of My Mother's House and Towards the Pacific Ocean
All at once, it's over. I take a plane ride 3,000 miles away from my mother. She drops me at departures in her new car, and when I take the escalator up, I don't turn around to wave goodbye. I have a new address now, a new driver's license, a new haircut, and a new job. California is sunnier than I expected. I walk past a row of seven palm trees on my way to work, their trunks stretched upwards towards the sky. On the first day of August, I call my insurance provider and get a referral for therapy. The operator asks me a question and I ramble for a bit too long, my babble filling the silence on the other end.
When I cry, I crouch in the closet so as not to disturb my roommates. I have five roommates, all PhD students, all quiet and studious. My therapist keeps a jar of glass pebbles in her waiting room. The pebbles are green, blue, and gold, and the top layer is covered in dust. The pebbles are to look at, not to touch. When our sessions are over my therapist says, "It was nice seeing you this week" and I say, "It was nice seeing you too."
I buy a new pair of sneakers and throw the old ones in the dumpster behind my bank. Later, I take my money out of that bank and put it in a new one. I clean the bathroom. A week goes by, I clean it again. My roommate becomes my best friend, and then slowly, suddenly, he becomes someone who shares my bed. The bad memories make the good ones stand out with even greater clarity. In the darkness, I spend hours observing the place where the curve of his nose blends into the wall. My mother used to say I was difficult to love. Now I have no mother and I sleep as one part of two, his arms wrapped around my cold little body. I dream all night. My brother is three years old, standing by the staircase. My mother stands behind him like a shadow. She raises her hand: he screams and screams.

President Tabare Vazquez ratified the decision of Uruguay to transfer the pro-tempore presidency of the Southern Common Market (Mercosur) to Venezuela, a step stalled by the refusal of the Governments of Paraguay and Brazil.
In a press conference with his counterpart from Germany, who is on a three day State visit to Montevideo, he said the Uruguayan Foreign Ministry is “actively working” in consultation with the other countries of the bloc.
He acknowledged that still “there is no unanimous position on this,” and stressed on “that of Uruguay has not changed”.
It is noteworthy that last week the Venezuelan Chancellor Delcy Rodríguez, stated that the Treaties of Asuncion and Ouro Preto have “very clearly” established that for the transfer of the pro-tempore presidency of Mercosur should simply pass one semester and be made in alphabetical order.
That provision, he said, is not subject to any conditions, and stressed on that: “Any different step would place us in violation of the Treaties of Mercosur”.
“We came to Venezuela to defend the unity of this regional bloc that is so important for the area and for the world in general,” stressed the Venezuelan official.

Throughout literary history, the notion of story has been communicated through linear narrative carried to fruition by a traditional arc. Contemporary hybrid texts reject the idea that this formula is necessary to organize story and communicate meaning. When linear narrative is stripped away, what holds the story together? In this session, we'll explore the universality of the body and its sensory perceptions as an organizational mechanism to organize story and orient and impact the reader.

Francois Pienaar receives the Webb Ellis Trophy from Nelson Mandela © Getty Images
The game was a tight affair with no tries in 100 minutes of rugby and the Springboks opted to mark Jonah Lomu out of the game after his demolition of England in the semi-final. The game was tied 9-9 after normal time and both Joel Stransky and Andrew Mehrtens scored an early extra-time penalty before Stransky clinched the trophy with his late dropped goal.
The game will be remembered for the iconic celebrations after the game where Sprinkgbok captain Francois Pienaar received the Webb Ellis Trophy from the South Afrcian President, Nelson Mandela, who was wearing a Springbok jersey with Pienaar's number six on the back.

Parking grid-the perfect solution for eco-Parking
The rapid development of landscape design makes it possible to create an environmentally friendly Parking space with elements of grass in the holes of the concrete pavement.
Parking grid is a figured element of paving with holes for laying the lawn, which is a good alternative in the choice of material, by increasing the green space. To create this type of coating, first of all, a crushed stone base (pie) is created.
Once the base is ready, laid paving slabs.
To create a full-fledged Parking grid in the holes of concrete products is filled with dry soil, for further filling of seeds on top of the soil. To hide the grass seeds, a layer of soil with a seal is re-filled.
Concrete slabs are created by vibropressovaniya of heavy pressed concrete, which gives it high strength, resistance to temperature changes and withstand the weight of the truck.
In addition to the lawn concrete holes can be filled with decorative gravel or pebbles, without losing its beauty. viber image 2019 03 29, 14.00.37

Body Language includes new works by Mike Goodlett and Hunter Stamps, who use a variety of media to create organic sculptures with a visceral relationship to the body. Stamps, an associate professor of ceramics at UK, manipulates clay into an elastic state that folds like flesh. Goodlett, who draws on his experiences growing up in the region, uses sewn fabric, plaster, and cement to make sensuous forms. Without being literal, the artists evoke body parts, the fluidity of desire, along with both the joy and anxiety of being embodied.

Frenzy and filigree in MSO's Russian bill
Milwaukee Journal Sentinal
The music of two passionate Russian composers, speaking entirely different musical languages, filled the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra's program Friday evening.
Violinist Sarah Chang and conductor Rossen Milanov joined the orchestra for performances of Dmitri Shostakovich's enigmatic Concerto No. 1 in A minor for violin and orchestra and Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov's familiar, accessible "Scheherazade."
The Shostakovich opened the evening. From the long, weeping phrases of the opening bars to a lengthy, gripping cadenza later on, Chang was completely mesmerizing.
Playing with an enormous, ringing sound, her aggressive, physical style filled the piece with the raw emotion and fierce power it demands. She used colors, both bold and subtle, to give meaning to the smallest of musical details, never allowing her sound to be lost in even the densest orchestrations.
Chang's interpretation was forward moving - even frenzied at times - but never out of control. Milanov and orchestra matched that sensibility, putting the fascinating textures of Shostakovich's score in the spotlight throughout the piece. The performance won an immediate, cheering, standing ovation.
From the edgy, often tragic sounds of the Shostakovich that filled the program's first half, the orchestra turned to the melodic, lavishly orchestrated "Scheherazade" for the program's second half.
A spirited, character-filled reading, dotted with beautifully played solos and clean, artful section work from within the orchestra made the piece an absolute treat to hear. Milanov and the players gave it a reading that was urgent and compelling but never rushed or hurried.
Frank Almond's always-fascinating, soulful restatements of the piece's signature violin solo, soaring horn solos from William Barnewitz, meaningful clarinet passages from Todd Levy and a host of other solo voices gave the piece fire and color. Warm waves of string sound, cleanly executed tutti cello passages, ringing brass sounds and articulate section playing across the orchestra were all part of the recipe.
Conducting without a score, Milanov gave the piece a cohesive, thoughtful interpretation that allowed the players of the orchestra freedom to shine.

This Market Leader Just Started A New Growth Spurt
Third-quarter earnings season has ushered in an important turning point for the S&P 500.
With more than 25% of the index reporting, earnings are on pace to increase 0.1% from the same period last year. That 0.1% increase doesn’t exactly jump off the page. But with S&P 500 earnings declining for five consecutive quarters, a return to earnings growth is a positive signal for U.S. stocks. This reversal back to earnings growth is being led by some of America’s most popular brands.
#-ad_banner-#For example, JPMorgan Chase’s (NYSE: JPM) per-share earnings of $1.58 beat expectations by 13%. Similarly, Walgreens Boots Alliance’s (NYSE: WBA) earnings of $1.07 beat expectations by 8%.
While these reports are both excellent in their own right, one company crushed them both.
In fact, I am calling it the best earnings report of the season, beating expectations by 100%. In the short run, that should help shares outperform the S&P 500 for the rest of the year.
In the long run, this exceptional quarter signals that this market leader still has plenty of growth ahead.
A Massive Positive Earnings Surprise Should Trigger Post-Earnings Drift
Netflix (Nasdaq: NFLX) should be a familiar name. It virtually created the streaming video industry. Today Netflix owns the number-one market share in the United States with 36%, almost triple Amazon’s 13% share.
While most S&P 500 companies are struggling to grow revenue and earnings, Netflix delivered powerhouse third-quarter results on October 17.
Earnings of $0.12 per share beat expectations of $0.06 by 100%. The good news sent shares soaring, closing the day with more than a 20% gain and putting the price back within striking distance of the all-time high.
In the short run, Netflix should benefit from post earnings announcement drift (PEAD), the tendency for a stock’s cumulative abnormal returns to drift in the direction of an earnings surprise for several weeks (or several months) following an earnings announcement.
The PEAD should help Netflix beat the S&P 500 for the rest of the year.
But more importantly, in the long run, the strong third-quarter results tell me that this market leader still has plenty of growth left in the tank.
Don’t Expect Growth To Stop Anytime Soon
Netflix was one of the hottest stocks in the S&P 500 for three years from mid-2012 to mid-2015.
In that time, Netflix was up more than 1,000%. But for the last 15 months, Netflix had been languishing, trading mostly sideways. That weakness was driven by concerns that Netflix’s high valuation was being overly optimistic about future sales growth.
However, the companies recent third-quarter results helped calm those worries. Netflix’s earnings are expected to surge in the next 18 months.
Full-year 2016 earnings are on pace to grow 28% to $0.40 per share. The 2017 outlook is even more impressive. Earnings are expected to increase 162% to $1.04 per share.
There are only a handful of companies in the S&P 500 with this kind of earnings growth potential.
Netflix is notorious for having a high P/E ratio, even with the significant drops in forward P/E this year. But the strong third quarter is muting concerns about future growth, causing a sharp uptick Netflix’s forward P/E ratio from recent lows.
That makes this one of the best times to invest in Netflix in the last five years.
Risks To Consider: Netflix’s higher P/E ratio is a reflection of high expectations for growth. And Netflix has been delivering on those expectations, beating expected earnings by an average of 200% in the past four quarters. But if Netflix falls short of earnings expectations I would expect shares to fall 5% to 10%.
Action To Take: Netflix just delivered one of the best third-quarter earnings report of the season, beating expectations by 100%. In the short run this should help shares outperform the S&P 500 for the rest of the year. In the long run, I believe it signals a new leg higher for shares after languishing for the last 15 months. Buy Netflix anywhere below the all-time high of $135.

Thyme has a long history of use in natural medicine in connection with chest and respiratory problems including coughs, bronchitis, and chest congestion. Recently, researchers have discovered important volatile oil components of thyme that bring about its healing effects. They are known to include carvacolo, borneol, geraniol, but most importantly, thymol.
Thymol is an antiseptic and disinfectant that prevents the occurrence of putrefaction. A small quantity of thymol added to albumen, milk, solutions of gum or gelatin, will preserve them for several months. Thymol has proven effective in the treatment of wounds, ulcers and abscesses, and is an invaluable disinfectant that is highly effective in disinfecting sick rooms.

How profitable a bank is affects its safety and soundness. A bank can retain its earnings, increasing its capital buffer, or put them to work addressing problematic loans, likely making the bank better prepared to withstand economic trouble. Conversely, losses diminish a bank's ability to do those things.
On Bankrate's test of earnings, PNC Bank, National Association scored 18 out of a possible 30, exceeding the national average of 15.12.
One widely used measure of a bank's earnings is return on equity, or net income (essentially profit) divided by the total amount of equity. The most recent annualized quarterly return on equity for PNC Bank, National Association was 9.13 percent, above the national average of 8.10 percent.
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2017, the bank earned net income of $3.46 billion on total equity of $38.95 billion. The bank reported an annualized return on average assets, or ROA, of 0.96 percent, below the 1 percent deemed satisfactory in accordance with industry standards and below the average for U.S. banks of 1.00 percent.

GSoC 2018 - Week - 4
Week 3 of the GSoC coding period is completed successfully. GSoC (Google Summer of Code) is a global program focused on bringing more student developers into open source software development. Students work with an open source organization on a 3-month programming project during their break from school.
I am working on “Developing a “ Product Advertising API ” module for Drupal 8” - #7. The “Product Advertising API” which is renamed to “Affiliates Connect” module provides an interface to easily integrate with affiliate APIs or product advertising APIs provided by different e-commerce platforms like Flipkart, Amazon, eBay etc to fetch data easily from their database and import them into Drupal to monetize your website by advertising their products. If the e-commerce platforms don’t provide affiliate APIs, we will scrape the data from such platforms.
Some of the tasks accomplished in this week are -
Configuration Form for saving the configuration of the affiliates_connect settings is completed. Link to the issue - #2976037
As every vendor has a different configuration so configuration form for the plugins is still under development and discussion. Link to the issue - #2977044
Functional Tests for verification of routes defined in the project as suggested by borisson_ is also completed and under review. It also included the functional tests for checking whether product’s data is submitted correctly by affiliates_product add form or not. Tests for deleting & editing the products are also completed under this issue. Link to the issue - #2977377
Tests can increase the velocity without doing too much extra work.
Week 4 - Goals
The basic module development is completed so I will start working on Scraper API and I have done some work this week by doing/implementing some basic level of scraping using various libraries/modules in Node. Link to the repo - scraping-using-node. I have done some studies on Flipkart Affiliate APIs in this repo so I am also working on Flipkart Plugin. I will update my further work in the repo.
Flow for scraping any e-commerce website content is -
2. After the categories of the products, We can scrape the product category wise and paginate each category till the last page to scrape every product so we need some way to paginate the whole category.
3. We need to scrape the detailed product data so we need to go to each product link and scrape its content.
4. Saving all product’s link to a file for further scraping/updating existing product.
- We need to scrape thousand of products data so it can take a lot of time depending on the implementation so I need to devise the algorithm that takes minimal time in scraping the whole lot of data.

Understanding Self Harm, Addictions or Repeated Suicide behaviours in Complex Trauma
By Janina Fisher, Adapted by Claire Hudson-McAuley 2015,
As we know from the work of Bessel van der Kolk, Onno van der Hart, Bruce Perry, and the ACES study, childhood trauma dramatically interferes with the body’s ability to function and regulate itself mentally, emotionally and somatically.
The profound impact of trauma alters perception, thinking, tolerance of uncomfortable emotions, basic bodily functions such as digestion and respiration, hormonal and metabolic processes, immune function, and the expression of genes. Relationships with others and self, trust, the ability to function in everyday life, and even the ability to learn are compromised.
Psychological development is delayed or distorted, and identity formation proceeds along the “fault lines” that result from dissociative defences and compartmentalization. Is it then any wonder that adult survivors of trauma become so remarkably adept at inventing compensatory strategies aimed at survival and self-regulation long before they enter the doors of our offices, hospitals, or clinics?

FDA Approves Next-Generation Watchman FLX Device for LAA Occlusion
Boston Scientific will initiate a limited market release in the United States in the coming weeks.
The next-generation Watchman FLX left atrial appendage occlusion device has received US Food and Drug Administration approval, device maker Boston Scientific announced Tuesday.
“We will initiate a limited market release in the next several weeks, after physician training designed to best achieve optimal outcomes for patients receiving this new device,” the company said.
Indicated to reduce stroke risk in patients with nonvalvular A-fib who require an alternative to long-term oral anticoagulation, the Watchman FLX comes with several enhancements to the first-generation Watchman device, which was designed more than 15 years ago and was approved by the FDA in March 2015. The new iteration, which is fully recapturable and repositionable, comes with a greater number of struts, a closed distal end to lessen the likelihood of perforation, dual-row anchors to reduce the risk of embolization, and reduced metal exposure.
Its approval was supported by positive 12-month results from PINNACLE FLX, the US investigational device exemption study that demonstrated high closure rates and good safety, with few early major procedure-related safety events (0.5% at 7 days). At 1 year, effective closure—defined as peridevice flow ≤ 5 mm on transesophageal echocardiography—was seen in 100% of patients who had a Watchman FLX successfully inserted. Implant success rate was high at 98.8%. In the study, patients were treated with 45 days of a direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) plus aspirin, followed by clopidogrel plus aspirin to 6 months and then aspirin alone thereafter.
The Watchman FLX, which gained CE Mark approval in Europe in March 2019, will continue to be evaluated in ongoing trials; these include OPTION, which is comparing the device to oral anticoagulants in patients undergoing A-fib ablation, and CHAMPION-AF, which is comparing the device against DOACs in a broader population of A-fib patients who are eligible for oral anticoagulation.

Obama is back, and this is what will happen
by Jon Rappoport
January 31, 2017
Through his mouthpiece, Kevin Lewis, Obama is back. The great Uniter, Mr. Hope and Change, the messiah of “we’re all in this together,” the father of Obamacare, the prophet of post-racial America, the former First Community Organizer, the free cell phone provider is on the stump again.
Politico: “Kevin Lewis, spokesman for Obama in his post-presidency, said that Obama — who has been threading the balance between the tradition of presidents deferring to their successors and coming out against President Donald Trump on specific issues he considered core values — ‘is heartened by the level of engagement taking place in communities around the country’.”
“It is Obama’s first statement since leaving the White House.”
“’Citizens exercising their Constitutional right to assemble, organize and have their voices heard by their elected officials is exactly what we expect to see when American values are at stake’, Lewis said.”
“’With regard to comparisons to President Obama’s foreign policy decisions, as we’ve heard before, the president fundamentally disagrees with the notion of discriminating against individuals because of their faith or religion’, Lewis said.”
Understand the trends and fashions—as reported by major media. There was: fake news stole the election; fake news sites were pawns moved on the board by Putin; Putin stole the election; Putin stole it for Trump; Trump is a Russian agent.
The latest: Obama is here again.
This allows the Democrats and the Left and Soros-funded troops to say Trump is not the real president. He’s a fake president. If anyone is the real president, it’s still Obama, and they will listen to him and follow him.
This idea will bloom.
Somebody—perhaps the Left’s dough-boy, Michael Moore—will say, “We do have a president and he is Barack Obama. I don’t care whether he’s living in the White House. Wherever he is, whatever he does, we’ll go with him, so we can save the country from this cheap imitation.” He’ll grin, blow his nose, snarfle, and giggle.
But behind these shenanigans, there is a serious point. The whole thrust of ops after Election Night was designed to allow media to wriggle off the hook for predicting Hillary would win and for overtly supporting her.
The storyline? Trump isn’t actually the president. He didn’t win. He cheated. Therefore, we the media were correct. Hillary did win. Our polls were accurate. Our forecast was accurate.
This is now bolstered by the return of Obama. The great one sojourned in the desert and came back to give us more truth. O hail. All praise.
“Okay, Trump IS the president, but not really. Obama is.”
This is what you get in certain countries where the president is running the day-to-day show, and then suddenly, from behind the curtain, steps the great religious figure wearing his cloak and his hat. He speaks a few words of wisdom (and warning, because he is the spiritual leader of millions of people), shakes his bejeweled finger, and disappears.
We can expect this action from Obama now and again as time passes.
His followers are so deep in trance that, if Obama dropped his pearls in Arabic, with a dutiful translator standing by, they would rejoice to an even greater degree.
“I am the ghost and conscience of the people, and here is my message today, as I stand in the clouds above the White House…”
Perhaps you recall that, during the 2008 Primary race, there were several large Obama events where the audience was slowly chanting “O-bam-AH, O-bam-AH,” right out of an old Star Trek episode in which Kirk and his crew were dealing with a society under the hypnotic control of a high priest who turned out to be a computer. I watched one of these Obama campaign rituals on television—and suddenly the chanting stopped on a dime. I assumed Democratic operatives in the hall shut it down. They didn’t want the viewing audience at home to think O’s candidacy was a ceremonial invocation or an MKULTRA sub-project.
Cheap cheesy archetype-caricatures are in play. Disney should pick up the option. Obama. The Great Father. Angel of Peace. Elder of the Tribe. The Prophet. The Redeemer. The Wise One.
Which Hollywood studio is going to hire which screenwriter and which beloved director to do the biopic of all biopics? O-bam-AH, in theaters and IMAX. Special effects by DARPA. After three hours in the dark, millions of people will stagger into the streets weeping.
“I felt like my whole life changed. He is the president.”
“He gave the Gettysburg Address and ended slavery.”
“Chicago Police report that 13 people died in a celebration outside a theater premiering the film, O-bam-AH, last night. There are unconfirmed rumors of shots being fired. One witness stated that a man from the well-known Southern Illinois group, White Trump Racists for the Reinstitution of Mass Slavery, was handing out copies of what he claimed were counterfeit birth certificates of the former president…”
The op continues.
“I’ll take O-bam-AH the Rainbow Warrior and Provider of Free Everything for All, for four hundred, Alex.”

“It’s only warm here two weeks out of the year,” she claims, her orange sundress fluttering softly against a backdrop of water and daisies.
“What was it Mark Twain said?” I shift in my seat, uncomfortably aware of a bead of sweat threatening to form on my brow. “Ah, yeah, the coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco.”
Behind her, heavy light filters through a sloped array of gentle trees, falling upon patches of flowers strewn about, quivering, seeming like they might at once suddenly sprout into stained glass, color refracting brilliantly, brilliantly, everywhere. Slightly further beyond, one can catch the ruffle of lazy sails set at bay as, between, cars whistle by.
I breathe in, tasting the live scent of spring, and arch my back slightly and search her eyes, two reflective obsidian orbs in focus, slowly, suddenly, wide and intelligent and sharp.
“Do you want to stay here forever?” I ask — a half-second too early, her eyes tightening almost imperceptibly slightly. A half second matters urgently, I think to myself. It is, perhaps, the difference between a life spent floating through perpetually unfamiliar houses and one spent in a well-lit condo, artwork calming mood scattered gracefully, everywhere.
I wish I could convey this moment to her. This understanding of unrepentant urgency and permanence — actors taking our parts, characters in a painting. But I don’t have the words, the poetic stripping and beauty painfully out of focus.
Unobserved, she answers eagerly and earnestly, “No, I think I’d like to move to Los Angeles.”
I’m aware of the vast chasm of experience separating us. I berate myself for being so judgmental, but I know — suddenly, clearly: we might as well speak different languages; we only share a glimmer in our shared unconsciousness, an uncomfortable heat and slight sense of befuddlement. Touch and gaze are what keeps most of us humans together.
I, slightly embarrassed, wipe away a streak of sweat and tiltingly respond, “I don’t envy you in the slightest,” and we share a laugh.
Later, the worst of the midday heat has subsided and I am staring into space, feeling vast and self-conscious. Sensitive to a paralyzing hollowness, I feel every mote of sun and wind, a line from a Dunn poem floats through, temporary, fleeting, painful — somewhere a philosopher is erasing \ “time’s empty passing” because he’s seen \ a woman in a ravishing dress. \ In a different hour he’ll put it back.

But it wasn't my turn, yet. / Only a few weeks earlier I had bought a ten dollar bag of weed on credit from Fat Andy. Fat Andy was a new dealer in Astoria Park. Being a little taller than I was, he had a tiny bald head that sat on his pear shaped body like it didn’t belong there. Despite his menacing look, he smiled a lot. Andy was about twenty, maybe five years older than me. / That day Ferrone bought a bag of weed. / “What about you?” asked Andy. / Shoving my hand in my pockets I said, “I ain’t got no money.” / Andy looked at me and said, "I'll give you a bag, but you gotta pay me when you have it." I shook my head agreeing and took the weed."... Get the rest of your read on here.

new madness in the gallery!
Our newest featured artist, William Zuback, brings us works of seemingly magic with his black and white photography that is really anything but black and white. With beautiful contrasts of light and dark, nudity, tattoos, and an unshakable, undeniable sort of fairytale vibe, William’s work provokes an undying childlike curiosity - ironically with photographs that are really anything but child’s play. The subject’s of these images seem to be revealing a part of themselves to us - vulnerable, yet at the same time guarded, mysterious, straight-faced. There’s a lot to say for these photographs, and they’ve got a lot to tell you, too. You are about to enter another dimension, a dimension not only of sight, but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land of imagination. Next stop, the Zuback Zone!

It’s impossible to think of Jane Austen and her novels without the all important social events and elaborate balls. Just as Jane Austen herself enjoyed dressing up for a night of music and gossip, the characters in each of Austen’s novels also experienced the grandeur and occasional frivolity of the many dances of the time. Indeed, the ballroom scenes are some of the most memorable scenes in each of the movies based Jane Austen’s novels.
Balls in Jane Austen’s time were detailed occasions, filled with a cultural significance that perhaps a modern-day reader might not fully understand. Fans of Jane Austen with an interest in the cultural history of the Regency Era will enjoy A Dance with Jane Austen by Susannah Fullerton.
As President of the Jane Austen Society of Australia, Susannah Fullerton has created a thoroughly detailed look at the balls of Jane Austen’s time. A Dance with Jane Austen covers numerous minute details that would have been extremely important in Jane Austen’s day. Discussing topics ranging from how one learned to dance to the proper planning of a dinner menu, Susannah Fullerton has created an exhaustive work of cultural history.
Blending Regency history with Jane Austen’s personal letters, A Dance with Jane Austen explains the difference between assembly and private balls, outlines proper etiquette in the ballroom and details important post-ball activities such as the supper, courtship and gossip.
Jane Austen personal letters reveal her own great interest in the social scene of her day. Austen’s family was not very wealthy, however balls were still extremely important. As a result, Austen and her sisters would have learned how to dance without the means of private instructors and would have been forced to ride to the balls with neighbors and friends. Nevertheless Jane Austen did enjoy the evenings, as evident in her many correspondences. Ultimately, it was Jane Austen’s own personal experiences that shaped her many novels.
A Dance with Jane Austen is filled with insights that should delight any Jane Austen fan. Occasionally the line between fact and fiction does blur as Fullerton discusses Jane Austen’s life and the lives of her characters simultaneously. Overall however, A Dance with Jane Austen is an engaging reference book of Regency cultural history that can add life and understanding to Jane Austen and her many wonderful novels.

Last week, my niece was struggling with memorizing a history (state board) chapter for her Class 8 exams. The topic was The Rule of the Marathas of Thanjavur.
To help her with the lesson, I decided to read it. The textbook chapter provides a short brief about when each ruler took charge of the throne, the activities they did during their reign and who their successor was. I had to read it three times to understand how all the Maratha rulers were connected and how each successor came to be. I had to also do some bit of Internet research to fill in important links that the textbook had left out. What I achieved at the end of my three-hour research was the plot to an interesting story.
Once the picture was clear in my mind, I built a family-tree structure that listed the name of each ruler and their relation with their predecessor. I also added the period for each ruler, so I automatically had an order to the events in the story. The final part was being a little creative in writing a narrative of the lesson.
In my narrative, I added personality traits for each character and added interesting information about the place (setting) where the event occurred. To bring a little more excitement, I added some bit of drama to describe the downfall of a ruler and the circumstances that led to the selection of the next successor. The whole narrative fit in two sheets of paper (A4 size). Finally, I added the family-tree on the cover page and put a flow-chart on the last page.
When my niece read the story I had built, she was thrilled. She didn't feel like she was studying history, because she was not reading a history lesson, she was reading a story! At the end, she could retell the story, which meant that she was easily able to recall the names of the rulers, the events and the causes.
History is a story, a story of the past. If it is simply stated, as in textbooks, it fails to engage children. But, if the same story is narrated in an interesting way, it can change the way children perceive history as a subject. It's not possible for parents or teachers to research and rewrite every chapter in an interesting way. But, you can have children read historical fiction story books. They provide a great way for children to visualize the setting and understand the cause and effect of wars and other historic events.

COLORADO SPRINGS — The Tokyo Olympics wrestling competition begins tonight in Japan and will showcase the world’s best freestyle and Greco-Roman wrestlers. And one female wrestler is looking forward to finally competing after waiting an extra year.
Lakewood, Colorado native, Adeline Gray will take the mat tonight in the women’s freestyle 76 kg weight class. Gray has seen a lot of success over the years. She is the first and only Team USA wrestler to win five career senior world titles. Gray is also the only U.S. woman to win world titles at the senior, university and junior levels. She says the covid-19 pandemic caused her to get creative with her training and not having access to in-person tools was challenging.
“It’s really silly to think that I didn’t lose the muscle, that I didn’t have access to some of the training and the reps that I had in past years. And I think I’ll be okay because I’m a 30-year-old who has had these reps and I’ve trained and had some experience. I don’t think I need as much training as maybe the average athlete, but I do think it’s going to have an effect on my competition,” said Gray.
Adeline will face Zaineb Sghaier of Tunisia. Tonight’s competition is set to start at 8 p.m. Mountain Time, or Sunday morning in Tokyo. You can catch the action right here on NBC. For a full schedule, visit here.

Applying for a Mid Devon Home
All Mid Devon Homes (MDH) are let through Devon Home Choice, which is used across Devon to assess housing need. Anyone wanting to apply for a MDH property will need to apply to Devon Home Choice before being considered for social or affordable housing.
Devon Home Choice is designed to provide housing applicants with choice and an ability to move within Devon. However, some areas are more popular than others and therefore the policy allows local authorities to monitor lettings. Depending upon the outcome of the monitoring exercise, available homes in a particular area may be labelled to show that preference will be given to applicants with a local connection to that particular area. In Mid Devon, the number of people moving into the area is often higher than the number of those moving out and therefore many of the MDH homes advertised will state that the applicant must have a local connection to Mid Devon, and this may include accessible properties. There are a few exceptions to the local connection criteria and these are detailed in the Devon Home Choice Policy.
Adapted homes are offered to applicants with a particular accessibility need which has been agreed at the time of application, however the local connection criteria may still apply, as set out above. Therefore it is important for you to have realistic expectations, and therefore it should be noted that, if you wish to apply for an adapted home and do not have a local connection, your bid may not be successful. Applicants with an accessibility need can only bid on properties which have have been built, or adapted, to meet this need. Unfortunately, MDH cannot adapt available homes to make them suitable for particular applicants who are not yet MDH Tenants.
