The BACH team aims to work alongside heritage professionals in Afghanistan and where appropriate provide training. In this way BACH aims to contribute towards augmenting the corps of qualified Afghan cultural heritage workers, and facilitating their links with the wider community of international archaeological and historical researchers and practitioners.
Our research is relevant to various subfields of history, notably Islamic and mediaeval history, and it is with these fields that primary academic engagement takes place. Results of our research are disseminated by means of academic papers in peer-reviewed journals. Plans for Dari-language dissemination are currently underway.

Bactra—the Greek name under which pre-Islamic Balkh was known—encapsulated Bronze Age settlements around 2,000 BC when its ancient water systems were built.
It was a province of the Achaemenid Empire (sixth century BC), the capital of the Hellenistic kingdom of Bactria and a part of the Kushan Empire that flourished in the first to the third centuries AD.
The first surviving textual mention of ancient Bactria is in the Vendidad section of the Avesta, the Zoroastrian Holy Book. Bactria (Baxtri) is mentioned in the trilingual inscription of the Emperor Darius I (r. 522-486 BC) at Bisutun and Persepolis as one of the Achaemenid satrapies (provinces). According to varying traditions, Balkh was founded by the mythical Iranian kings Gusthasp, his father Luhrasp, or the first man, Gayumarth. The Zoroastrian Prophet Zoroaster is rumoured to have died in Balkh.Read More
September 2011 - Launch of the BACH project
5-6 January 2012 - First BACH workshop in Oxford. Participants on the first day were limited to team members and special advisors to discuss the parameters of the BACH project, its training agenda, and practicalities, logistics and context. Day 2 included a wider audience of key experts on Afghan art, archaeology, documentary and narrative history of Balkh and comparable cities. Participants included Philippe Marquis, Roland Besenval, Edmund Bosworth, Nicholas Sims-Wiliams, Geoffrey Khan, Deborah Klimburg-Salter, James Howard-Johnston, Étienne de la Vaissière, Frantz Grenet, and Chahriyar Adle (by video link). Presentations were made on the basic topography of Balkh, the Nuh Gunbad (Hajji Piyada) site, and Zadiyan in the northern confines of the Balkh oasis, on coins, and Chinese and Arabic sources on historical Balkh. Comparanda from cities like Samarqand and Dehistan (Turkmenistan) were also considered.
April 2012 - First visit by BACH Oxford to Kabul conducted by Michael Jackson Bonner, aimed principally at working out the key elements and modalities for BACH cooperation on the ground, together with the Ministry of Information and Culture and the Délégation Archéologique Française en Afghanistan (DAFA).Read More
The Balkh Art and Cultural Heritage project (BACH) is funded by the Leverhulme Trust and is housed at the Oriental Insititute, University of Oxford.
This project focuses on the site of Balkh in the north of Afghanistan, south of the Oxus (Amu Darya) River. It analyses a selection of archaeological artefacts and unexplored texts against which hypotheses concerning the development of early Islamic cities can be tested. Balkh was in existence (as 'Bactra') since at least the fifth century BC, becoming a major economic centre and flourishing from the third century BC before being significantly reduced (but not abandoned) in the thirteenth century through the Mongol invasions.
The BACH project is not just about research. An essential element concerns training. Each of BACH's scholarly experts acts as a mentor and trainer to an Afghan trainee to analyse the material culture from, or textual finds on, Balkh. Trainees obtain daily on-the-job training during focussed visits to Kabul by BACH team members. The training follows a pre-determined curriculum, and includes reading lists of books and articles to be discussed during training. Trainees obtain stipends, and have the opportunity to engage with an international network through their mentors.Read More

WASHINGTON — Russia's annexation of Crimea has produced yet another perfect storm in Washington: a fast-moving international crisis and a slow-moving U.S. Congress.
WASHINGTON — Russia's annexation of Crimea has produced yet another perfect storm in Washington: a fast-moving international crisis and a slow-moving U.S. Congress.
The Senate next week will try once again to take up a $1 billion aid and sanctions bill to help struggling Ukraine after attempts to bring up the measure eroded into a barrage of ill will and finger-pointing on the chamber floor just before Congress adjourned for a one-week recess.
Before the adjournment, Russian President Vladimir Putin's troops were working to secure Crimea. When the Senate holds a procedural vote Monday on Ukraine, lawmakers will be dealing with a Crimea that Putin has firmly declared is now part of Russia.
"The more dilly-dallying here, the more difficult we make the problem for the Ukraine and ourselves," said former Rep. Lee Hamilton, D-Ind., head of Indiana University's Center on Congress and a former chairman of the House Foreign Relations Committee. "For the Congress to take a break at a time you have an international crisis doesn't help. Time is of the essence."
President Barack Obama concurred, urging Congress to swiftly pass a Ukraine aid package.
"Expressions of support are not enough," he said Thursday on the White House South Lawn. "We need action."
But Russia's hold on Crimea might not be enough to persuade senators to pick up their pace, as there's sharp disagreement among Republicans over a provision in the bill that revamps the International Monetary Fund.
Sen. Bob Corker of Tennessee, the ranking Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said he's confident there's enough Republican support to prevent the bill from being bottled up. White House press secretary Jay Carney said Friday that the administration believes the Ukraine aid bill "can and should move forward quickly through Congress as soon as Congress is back."
However, Republican Sens. Ted Cruz of Texas, Rand Paul of Kentucky, Mike Lee of Utah, Mike Enzi of Wyoming and Pat Roberts of Kansas sent a letter to Reid late Friday saying that they will object to the aid bill unless there's a separate vote on whether to strip the IMF provision from it.
"Most importantly, change at the IMF has no direct relevance to the issue at hand, which is assisting the nation of Ukraine as it tries to rebuild its fragile economy in a way that will enable it to become a partner to the free economies of the U.S. and Europe," the senators wrote. "While we are all eager to assist Ukraine on its path to freedom and prosperity, injecting IMF governance issues into this debate — and undermining U.S. influence on the IMF — is not the way to accomplish this end."
The provision would allow the IMF to move $63 billion from its crisis fund to its general accounts. The move, which increase the IMF's quota — or equity capital — would make good on a 2010 international agreement that also would rebalance the fund's board of directors to give economically emerging nations like China, India and Brazil a greater voice.
Conservative Republicans say the change is unnecessary and would diminish U.S. clout over the fund. Some Republicans also believe that the IMF has served as an enabler, bailing out countries that have suffered economic hard times because of poor financial decisions made by their governments.
The House of Representatives passed a Ukraine aid bill on March 6 that contains $1 billion in loan guarantees but excludes IMF restructuring. Several conservative senators blocked Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., from moving quickly on the legislation. They voiced opposition to the Senate bill and support for the House measure.
"I would suggest that the so-called IMF reforms are misguided policy," Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, said before the break during a sometimes heated exchange on the Senate floor. "There is no need whatsoever for these reforms. I agree with Speaker of the House John Boehner, who says these so-called IMF reforms are unnecessary."
However, some key Senate Republicans feel the situation in Ukraine is too urgent for the aid bill to get delayed over the IMF overhaul. Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, a potential 2016 Republican presidential candidate, called the IMF provision "ill-advised" in a Washington Post op-ed piece Thursday but added that Russia's "unrelenting aggression" dictates approving the bill.
Sen. John McCain of Arizona, the 2008 Republican presidential candidate, criticized fellow Republican senators for delaying action on Ukraine aid because of their opposition to the IMF overhaul. He continued his tongue-lashing in a conference call with reporters on Friday.
"I said, 'You call yourselves Republicans if you want to because that's your voter registration, but don't call yourselves Reagan Republicans.'" McCain said. "To allow an IMF reform measure to block us from doing the things that would help the people of Ukraine in their hour of need is unbelievable. And by the way, it is kind of a remarkable commentary about where at least part of the Republican Party (is) going."

text: lonesomeequus Report post Posted April 28, 2012 Hey everyone! Not much to update on the mare; there's been a lot sapping my extra energy lately, and I haven't been able to ride as much as I'd like. We had a truly awful ride on the 15th; she was entirely distracted and very offended when I tried to get her attention. A short 15 minute hack turned into about an hour of us clashing, but I rode her last Friday and today, and she was pretty good both days. I am going to try to sell the dressage saddle I have; it's a Crosby Prix St. George Sofride and not nearly wide enough for her, and the saddle that a barn buddy and board buddy, Ardent, is kind enough to let me use for her doesn't seem to fit now that she's not a jiggling tub of lard anymore. I also can't stay back in it for her canter. I brought home a Barnsby from the tack store to try on her today and it wasn't wide enough. I'll probably end up getting something synthetic with a changeable gullet, but we'll see. I have to get the other sold first. Bear with me, I have a photo dump. Handsome gal. She IS capable of lifting at the canter...lol (one of Ben, because he's prettyful) At the beginning of today's ride. She was highhh as a kite. Few more, hold up!

Weekend Warrior: Victor Gasior, 43
BIRTHPLACE: Pittsburgh, PA
JOB: Sr. Manager Aircraft Engineering, FedEx Express
SPORT: Mountain Bike
FAMILY: Wife, Tonya, and two sons, Victor III and Christian
FIT TEAM: Stanky Creek Cycling, Current President and Race Director
BRAGGING RIGHTS: Last year I completed the Hilly Billy Roubaix in West Virginia—boy are there some steep hills in WV. I also ran the Nashville Marathon. Running is okay, but I will stick to the Mountain Bike.
MOST MEMORABLE WW EVENT: Ozark Trail 100 was challenging, but riding 100 miles of single track in one day is an awesome experience.
"The mountain bike and the local mountain bike community have made a tremendous impact on my health."
I ❤ MOUNTAIN BIKING: The mountain bike offers so much. You can go out for a solo ride where it is just you and the trail. Or you can go out with a group of friends and go from talking and laughing to heading down and constantly focusing on trying to keep up with the riders in front and then back to laughing over a post-ride beverage in the parking lot. Solo or in a group, mountain biking is a great mental reboot from the stress of work and provides a great workout.
NEXT CHALLENGE: It's very challenging to put on an event, but it is also very rewarding to give back to the mountain bike community. It is my way of trying to say thanks. I am the Race Director for the upcoming mountain bike events.
– Summer Mountain Bike Time Trial Series, starting July 27
– Legend of Stanky Creek TT and XC races, Aug 6 & 7
– Stanky Endurance Race, Sept 24
– 12 hours of Stank, Oct 8
Also, it's the first year of hosting the Mid-South Mountain Bike Race Series.
Check us out at stankycreek.com for list of events.
WW MUST-HAVE'S: Salsa El Mariachi Ti Carver Gnarvester
OBSTACLE COURSE: I weighed 276 pounds and was "fat" when I moved to the Memphis area in 2006. Upon finding the mountain bike and the local trails, I have lost quite a bit of weight (currently at 200 pounds), but more importantly I have become healthy and fit. The mountain bike and the local mountain bike community have made a tremendous impact on my health.
MOTIVATION: What I write on my handlebars prior to doing an endurance event: "Regrets last longer than pain." This keeps you focused on finishing when things start to get tough.
BUCKET LIST: I really want to do the High Cascades 100 in Bend Oregon. I thought this would be my year, but time has been my enemy.
BEST BREW: High Cotton Brewing
ON MY NIGHTSTAND: Just read "The Heart and the Fist" by Eric Greitens.
PET PEEVE: Loud chewers and those who show up late for a group ride. If the ride starts at 8am, be ready to roll at 8am, not just be showing up.
MY MOTTO: Keep it simple, spend time with and love the family, drink good beer and coffee, and ride my bike. You know when I am following my motto by the smile on my face.

IntelliSparx Launches Kumeyaay Place Names ProjectContact InformationEric Wohl
4675 51st St.
San Diego CA, 92115
San Diego based interactive agency IntelliSparx launches interactive map for the Kumeyaay Place Names Project.
Online PR News – 26-November-2010 –IntelliSparx, a San Diego based digital interactive agency recently launched the Kumeyaay P lace Names Project at www.kumeyaaymapping.com. IntelliSparx donated a portion of its profit to the Kumeyaay Place Names Project to help kick-start the efforts of the Kumeyaay Research Team.
This website features an interactive map of Kumeyaay (Iipay/Tipay aka Diegueno) Place Names. Our goal was to gather invaluable information from some of remaining Kumeyaay speakers and from hard-to-access archival and printed resources and then to present it in a form that is accurate and available to many.
Financial supporters include: the Sycuan Institute for Tribal Gaming, the University of California Humanities Research Institute, the Endangered Language Fund, Intellisparx and Larry Banegas of Kumeyaay.com.
"Having worked with Kumeyaay.com, we had a great opportunity to become the active provider for the Kumeyaay Place Names Project. The KPP team has done terrific research in their respective fields and it was a pleasure putting their studies in to a web based application so that the Kumeyaay History would become a part of the web for future education and research studies," said President of IntelliSparx, Eric Wohl.
Few concepts resonate more strongly than "place" in indigenous studies today. Place names describe landforms and also show a close connection with nature and tell timeless stories associated with land.

Howka tribal members, It is a sad loss to our community to lose Anna. I want to send out my condolences to the family and to the Sycuan reservation. Anna was revered by us all. I personally remember Anna for all the good she has done for our people and villages on both sides of the border. Anna gave me the strength and determination to get my traditional tattoo done. She was the only other person from our tribe that I knew of that had one done. There is a great write up and pic of Anna in our local newspaper. I am sure Mayaha is glad she is home and out of pain.To read the article/ obit.. check here

New Texas coach Charlie Strong opened his first training camp Sunday by announcing the suspension of three potential starters, and confirmed the dismissal of several other players for legal troubles and team rules violations.
Strong said offensive lineman Desmond Harrison, wide receiver Daje Johnson and safety Josh Turner all will miss at least one game for rules violations.
Strong wouldn't detail the violations, but said they ran counter to his team rules of honesty, treating women with respect, no drugs and no guns,
Strong also said wide receivers Kendall Sanders and Montrel Meander, who were suspended after being arrested on rape charges, will not be allowed back regardless of how their cases turn out.
Texas hired Strong from Louisville to replace Mack Brown after 16 seasons.

I'm not always sure why people come to me for songwriting advice, especially if it's to write for other artists, as half of the time I'm still trying to figure out if I even know how to do it myself. Songs are such a subjective art form. A "good" song can really only be called that by a listener who believes it to be so. For example… I'm sure there are plenty of people out there who think "Blackbird" by The Beatles isn't that great of a song (surely not?), and those same people might think "Look What You Made Me Do" by Taylor Swift is the best thing they've ever heard in their lives. Do I agree with them? Absolutely not. But are they wrong? No.
In my mind — which is neither correct or incorrect — the best kind of song is the one that is the most honest, the most brutal, the most heartbreaking, and the most socially aware. What would probably be labeled as a "protest" song these days… Those songs affect me profoundly and inspire me every day. Thing is, not everyone wants to hear those songs. Some are offended, and some feel yelled at. Most people have just had a shitty day and want something they can air drum on their steering wheel to. For decades, there have been protest songs, love songs, heartbreak songs, and completely contrived pieces of dog turd songs that sell millions and millions of copies, and no one will ever understand why one works and the other doesn't, but that's the nature of popular music. Some songs just make people feel good or bad in the right kind of way. It's an absolute crapshoot, which leads me to my first piece of likely useless advice…
When someone asks me how to get started as a songwriter for other artists, or how to write "better" songs, I assume they're into the kind of songs I'm writing, or have me mistaken for someone they think I am. Otherwise they'd be asking someone more suited to their needs. I don't write for DJ's — even though my most unlikely songs have been remixed by DJ's — so I won't be suggesting they look back through Pitbull's catalogue for inspiration. Nor however, will I climb up onto my high horse and demand they listen to the White Album, because if I sent my publisher "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" tomorrow, she'd probably call my manager worrying that I had picked up a drug problem…
What I usually suggest first, is that if you're going to write a song, try and think about your intentions. Forget the publishing deal for now, that will come. Are your intentions to impress a guy/girl? To change the world? To get rich? To get a publishing deal? Those are all valid reasons to write a song, but you've got to pick one and stick with it. A girl/guy isn't going to swoon over you with your devastating song about an African refugee or the state of the political climate — trust me I know — but you're also not going to change the world writing a song about a girl's ass, nor are you likely going to get rich writing in support of LGBT rights. A good publisher will sign someone who believes in themselves. Someone who creates authentic songs and doesn't create total bullshit. A bad publisher will sign anything they think they can sell, but good luck with that. Be honest with yourself about why you want to write songs, then focus on that. It's not as easy as you think to make that decision.
Here's a little something about me:
I'm not good at writing "fun" or "wacky" songs (actual descriptions from publishers); the kind of songs that usually end up in a commercial, or on a summer anthem playlist or something. I take what I do too seriously, to a fault. I'm not even comfortable covering "fun" or "wacky" songs, it just feels wrong to me. You'll never find me singing covers in a bar or my own songs at a party unless I have everyone's undivided attention, which ironically I'm deeply uncomfortable with too.
What's important is I've accepted I will never be the funny guy singing songs for the laugh and I'm okay with it. I respect those kinds of writers and artists, I just can't do it. Instead I try to focus on songs that move people, or me, or both. It doesn't always work, sometimes it pisses people off, and more often than not, nobody cares. But I made that choice when I decided I wanted to fit into the "change the world" category. For better or for worse, that's what I do.
The second thing I would suggest is practice and practice and practice and practice. Write and write and write and write. Whatever you do, do not upload that initial round of horse shit onto the internet, because one day it will come back and bite you in the ass — trust me I know. Don't send your first 10 songs to a bunch of publishers. DO NOT DO THAT. Wait a while, share with friends, family, people you trust. Unless you're the next Bob Dylan or Ryan Tedder or Max Martin (whose first songs were probably shit too), chances are people will just insult you on YouTube, and publishers will never write you back, ever. Even when you start sending good songs, they've already judged you and will likely never listen to anything you send again. Get good at your craft before you start trying to get people's attention, because if you're fortunate enough to get it, and you're not ready, you're going to lose it.
As far as "getting started" or "getting cuts" or "getting more followers" goes, there really is no logic to it. Some of the best songwriters I know are bartenders, and some of the biggest writers in the industry — people I've worked with numerous times that have sold millions of records — are totally fucking winging it. I am still trying to crack the code myself, but what I will say is this: Every single successful person I know has worked hard. They have mastered their craft, chosen their category and are working endlessly to get what they want.
Fame may come easy sometimes, but long term success most certainly does not.

There is a difference between a plan to building up your wealth and there is another plan to staying wealthy. The key is to know how much is enough.
If you have $50k trying to build up to $500k to be ready for retirement or financial independence, you tend to take more risks because you have a longer time horizon. You are probably 25 years old thinking of having wealth to be independent at 50 years old. That's 25 years old.
You could probably have a 70% equity versus 30% bond allocation. Stocks tend to be very volatile in that at certain points, the equity portion can go down 40-70%. That may be ok (if you have the stomach to take that!) if you are somewhere far from needing the wealth to provide cash flow for financial independence/retirement.
However, suppose you are at 48 years old. A …

Data. I'd been planning to write something about 'the pagans' for a while.
UK Hip-Hop culture has started to use 'pagans' as derogatory slang, as an insult. I'm not down with that.
I would summarise paganism as nature worship, although the term has been used to describe everything from wiccans to Druids. The dictionary definition is even broader – a person holding religious beliefs other than those of the main world religions.
So using 'pagan' as an insult is offensive. It's prejudice. If people used Muslim, Christian or Jew as an insult there would be uproar. I don't describe myself as a Pagan, but I am friends with people who do.
I suspect, but I don't know, that the anti-pagan movement stems from Rasta culture which has it's roots in Christianity (or at least in The Bible.) That's not a diss to rastafari either. I respect the rasta movement, the ital living and the words of Emperor Haile Sellasie Ras Tafari. I just think that not all pagans should be under the same label as the 'babylonians' because the Celtic pagans suffered at the hands of the Romans too. The anti-pagan movement's probably also got roots in badly researched conspiracy theory documentaries. In short – There is a vast difference between the pagans who worship nature who are generally nice people and the Satan-worshipping politicians who were friends with Jimmy Saville.
In some ways paganism is quite logical and scientific – the Sun gives us life, the Earth gives us life. But I don't describe myself as pagan because my spirituality is inspired by buddhism, Christianity, Druids and taoism to name a few.
Some of my pagan friends would have a problem with Christianity because historically the Catholic church murdered pagans allover the world, from South American shamans to Celtic Druids. Some of my Christian friends would have a problem with pagans because they have a problem with anything that's not Christian to put it bluntly.
Now I'm not someone you can put in a box. I walk a narrow path. The pagans will be angry that I claim Christian influence but go to Stonehenge, the Christians will be angry I claim Jesus as an inspiration despite knowledge of a handful of solar deities that were resurected after 3 days like the sun on the solstice (Zeitgeist summarises it well.) Pissing people off is just an inevitable consequence of being open minded and not being a follower.
But the simple fact is most people calling people pagans don't know what the word means and the rest don't literally mean 'nature worshippers', they're just calling you a twat.
But hey, a facebook status isn't gonna change street slang, but it might make me feel a little better.
(This is still a big tune and a sick video and Dizzee still has one of the best flows in the UK, I don't care whose hot right now or whose sending for who…)
post-script –
Had a thought the other day – being a pagan is one of the most patriotic things an Englishman can do. Because that's what their ancestors were before they had Christianity forced on the ancestors that survived the Roman invasion. When they sing "God save the queen" they're basically saying "may the Middle-eastern God forced upon my Celtic ancestors by Italian Roman invaders save the German queen who owns half the planet and therefore probably never needs to be saved from anything." But I'm just sat here sipping this tea. (And God save the Queen cos Mi5 answer to her and have probably killed for less).

Sorry for being MIA today but we decided to take a Monday off and head to Seattle for a bit of shopping. I ended up trying on the Pure Balance Tank at the University Village Lululemon and the tank is gorgeous in person and the cup portion made out of ruched Sheer Luon was heavenly soft. The Iris Wee Stripe/Wren version of the tank was softer then the black one. I tried on both the size 8 and the size 10 and the tank just doesn't work for me for a few reasons. First being the very deep and wide v-neck. It was way too open and I felt like I was about to fall out of the cups at any minute. Also, the side portion of the cups was not supportive enough in the sheer luon to pull the breasts inwards and upwards so it just felt too loose in both the 8 and the 10 and gave me a very unflattering bust. Smooshed down and falling to the side. Sad boobies 🙁 I think this tank is reserved for the high and mighty. The straps are slightly long as well so this tank surprised me in that it felt nothing like the Power Y. The Power Y is too tight on me in an 8 but the Pure Balance Tank was loose in the straps, loose in the bust and then form fitting in the body.
I spotted a few Unicorn Tears Cool Racerback Tanks and checked them out but decided to pass on those ones. The ones I saw had a lot of orange and yellow on the front in large patches and I think if I were to go for this tank I would prefer more black, less color over all..but If it had color I would prefer the pink to be the most prominent. Also, I passed on it because it was a high polyester blend with a lot of sheer white. I also saw the Iris Wee Stripe Cool Racerback Tank and passed for now but it was heavenly soft. Same with the Iris Wee Stripe In Stride Jacket. The Pure Balance Jacket is a very structured and detailed jacket seam wise so I do see why it is a bit more expensive then an In Stride Jacket at $128. It has some really nice piping detail along the arms (reinforced seams??), plus all of the sheer luon panels and just an overall more finished and fine look then In Strides or Strides. I may feel tempted by these jackets in other colors.
I left with nothing at lulu today but did buy a few beautiful shirts at Anthropologie on markdown. Too bad they don't go well with Luon or Dance Studio Crops.

The most common and widely used feature of python programming for data science is methods. You will see the usage of methods quite often while you dive further into data science with python.
Lets go ahead and create a string :
In [1]: s=' hello! Welcome To Python Crash Course' In [2]: s.lower() Out[3]: 'hello! welcome to python crash course'
It's so simple isn't it ? The lower method on a string will convert all the characters to lower case. You can try the s.upper() method and see if the method changes your string to upper case. There are several methods of a string which can be found by pressing tab in jupyter notebook after the dot symbol ( s. ), you can try out various methods available.
Lets go over the split method.
In[4] : s.split() Out[5]: ['hello!', 'Welcome', 'To', 'Python', 'Crash', 'Course']
The split functions splits the strings on the white space. If you need to split the dataset based out of '!' then you can pass the ! mark within quotes and within the split function. The method will split the string where it finds the ! mark.
In [6]: s.split('!') Out[7]: ['hello', 'Welcome To Python Crash Course']
You can try and use methods on strings, dictionaries and lists. Lets try a method on a list.
In [8]: list=[1,2,3] In [9]: list.pop() Out[10]: 3
The pop method removes the last component/element from the list permanently. If there is a need to pop a particular item of your choice, you have to target the items index and pass the value within the pop functional brackets.
In [11]: list Out[12]: [1,2]
Here we come to an end of the python crash course for data science. These 12 modules / blog posts should help any beginner ( like me ) to gain fair bit of knowledge on python as we move along more complex codes within data science.
Leave a comment if you really enjoyed this crash course series.

I actually wrote this back in early November. The "event" itself occurred back in October some time and I took my time in writing it out. I had forgotten about it but it is significant.
The follow up to this is that I've lost a few pounds, I have started to be more active, I do feel better, and I am still grateful for my body, quirky as it is. I've also lost my taste for junk food. AAck!!
Last night, I finally had THE revelation. Well, I think it's pretty significant anyway. So, as the title indicates this is another in the EFT weight loss journey that I'm on, thanks to my friend. It came rather suddenly as well but I was working on something else and it came down to it.
So, I had been asking a friend of mine what some of my blocks were (to romance, of course) and she mentioned, " I keep getting that you don't want to be seen naked". Well, yeah . .. so? she make it sound like a bad thing. Who, without a perfect body, does want to be seen. Well, to be honest, i've just tried to ignore that little fact and since my body is my body, I can't take a pill to make it magically different and I don't want to wait until i'm perfect to have an intimate relationship (cause that ain't NEVER going to happen). So, what to do? How do I quickly get over my squeamishness and denial about my imperfect body so that this is not one of the blocks to my having a more romantic relationship or to anything else for that matter?
Well, in a blinding flash of insight (i really am slow sometimes – this time about 30 years slow) I thought – EFT!! It's the fastest way to work through fears and doubts and I do mean fast – try it on something sometime that you think is insurmountable. I have applied this on a couple of things and in the space of minutes i've had the realization of what the core issue was with the apparent issue and been able to overcome it.
Well, I did some tapping over the weekend, and did a bit more last night and last night as I was lying in bed, it came. The revelation, of my lifetime, i'm sure, since I think so much of my identity is hooked in to my body (even though Ive denied it for years:
My body is my best friend; ever. It has always been there for me. It has never lied to me. It communicates regularly with me. It has always told me when there was something wrong. It has protected me when I needed it to. It has never failed me.
I can say this with confidence, that my body has never failed me even though I've been ill, been injured, injured myself, fought back and successfully stayed healthy no matter how much I have abused it (and I do love junk food!) and neglected it (i.e. no exercise) because I believe my physical state completely reflects my mental, spiritual and emotional state. It is the mirror of my other aspects. I believe in Louise Hay, when she says all physical symptoms are a reflection of other issues in your life (I'm paraphrasing here). I have seen evidence of it continuously since I started looking at my physical state as a symptom of other things. The most obvious of this type of reflection is one that we all know – when you look like a slob or don't care for yourself, it generally indicates to others that perhaps you don't have as much respect for yourself as you could (I'm not sure if Sunday pajama day counts in there . . . ), but i'm sure you catch my drift.
The tapping seems to have worked as today I feel great, my joints are moving a bit better (of course the yoga and stretching Im doing may be helping with that) and hurt less, and i'm not afraid to look in the mirror (and I have really big mirrors in my bathroom – yes it's a rental).
So, my body is my best friend and I have to say, it is definitely time to start treating this particular friend with a great deal more respect, love, care, and gratitude.
So, thanks to my body, for always looking out for me.
With love and light,

All-Maker Stones
The All-Maker Stones are sacred stones that the Skaal believe have been placed around Solstheim by the All-Maker. At the beginning of the Main Questline, the All-Maker stones have been corrupted by Miraak, and are causing the inhabitants of the island to come under a trance and build shrines around them. Once cleansed of Miraak's power, the All-Maker Stones can be interacted with to grant a one time use power that can be activated once a day.

With the North Korean "problem" front in center for the Trump administration, especially after Sunday's failed ballistic missile launch prompting Trump's top security advisor, Lt. Gen HR McMaster to "work with China on a range of options" to respond to the North Korean provocation, here are several charts and infographics summarizing North Korea's conventional and nuclear potential, as well as its short and long-range military options.
In terms of most immediate short-range threats, North Korean conventional artillery by the border can penetrate somewhat into South Korea, with the biggest zone of impact stretching approximately 10 miles in. That said, according to Stratfor even areas such as the capital Seoul would be within range of some of the heavier North Korean tube and rocket artillery.
As the next chart demonstrates, under the Kim regime North Korea has conducted more ballistic missile launches than during the regimes of Kim John Un's two predecessors combined.
As Bloomberg notes, the regime of Kim Jong Un - which has accelerated the country's nuclear program since taking power in 2011 - is said to possess rockets that can hit South Korea and Japan with as many as 20 atomic bombs, and it's now focused on building a long-range missile capable of hitting Washington, D.C., with a nuclear warhead.
The following Reuters chart summarizes what is known about NK's current missile arsenal:
The next image details the maximum estimated range of any given ballistic delivery system. While there are disagreements on how far North Korea's most advanced missiles, the Taepodong-2 and KN-14 can reach, they are widely assumed to be able to reach most parts of the US. That said, Bloomberg cites analysts who say the Taepdong-2 has been used only for launching satellites into orbit and probably wouldn't be suitable to deliver nuclear warheads.
As Bloomberg also observes, more worrisome than the Taepodong-2 is the yet-to-be tested KN-08, a road-mobile intercontinental ballistic missile. Its range of about 11,500 kilometers (7,100 miles) which would threaten a host of major U.S. cities. At the beginning of the year, Kim said that North Korea was in the "last stage" of preparing to test-fire an ICBM—prompting U.S. President Donald Trump to tweet: "It won't happen!"
Furthermore, during yesterday's "Day of the sun" parade, North Korea revealed a new ICBM which according to South Korean military officials was longer than the existing KN-08 or KN-14 ICBMs, and may thus be the longest-ranged weapon in Kim's arsenal, if indeed it is operational.
Finally, another potential threat is North Korea's ability to deliver nukes to the Pacific seaboard via submarine. While the subs are diesel powered, and could be destroyed as soon as they left port - something US submarines are surely acutely aware of - they could target the US if they managed to get in close enough.

USTA Selects Boys for Winter Tournaments in Europe
With rain washing out the entire schedule today at the Junior Orange Bowl, there's an opportunity to pass along some news from the USTA Boca Raton Training Center. As has been done for the boys in the past, a round robin tournament was held Sunday and Monday, with two of the spots on the European Winter Travel 14-and-under team then decided by matches on Tuesday. Unlike previous years, there were many younger players invited, and all four who played on the last day are entered this year in the 12s division at the Junior Orange Bowl. Typically, the USTA has stuck to the birth year of those who will be 14 in the upcoming year. Eleven-year-old Stefan Kozlov of Florida won his group with a 6-2, 6-4 victory over North Carolina's Tommy Paul and Spencer Furman earned an invitation with a 7-5, 6-4 decision over fellow Washington state competitor Henrik Weirsholm. There are two coaches' picks, and those selections were Paul and Noah Rubin of New York. Rubin is the only player born in 1996 on the team.
While the round robin competition was going on, Andy Roddick was in Boca Raton for his annual charity event over the weekend, and he hit at the training center, on one occasion with junior Jack Sock. Both Sock and the 12-year-olds were delighted to have an opportunity to interact with the top American.
Spots on the girls team are generally not decided by a competition like the one held at Boca for the boys. Last year Sachia Vickery, Vicky Duval and Brooke Austin were on the winter team and also won the championship at the ITF World Junior Tennis competition in August, the third straight win for the U.S. 14-and-under girls. Austin is still age-eligible for 2010.
The Aegon Teen Tennis tournament in England begins on January 14, 2010. The dates for Les Petits As are January 21-31.

Future of flood-ravaged Arrest Processing Unit debated
Calgary's mayor waded into the debate on where people who are recently arrested by police should be jailed in the future after the Arrest Processing Unit (APU) downtown sustained serious damage when flood waters hit the city.
While the cells in the courthouse are being used temporarily, Naheed Nenshi says that should be the permanent solution.
The flood-ravaged APU, which is about 50 years old, faces about $30 million in repairs.
There had been discussions about building a new facility before the flood, but today that conversation has ramped up.
"There's a big, big, big conversation about that particular one yet to come," said Nenshi. "For now — because of the damage — when police arrest someone, they head to the holding cells in the courthouse."
Judges oppose idea, says minister
Only a few of the 300 cells are used daily for those who come to the Calgary Courts Centre for appearances.
The facility is said to be able to fully accommodate an arrest processing facility with a few tweaks, but many judges at the Calgary Courts Centre are not on board with the idea.
"They have made significant objections to me about having the actual facility in the same place as the courthouse, wanting to keep the administration of justice separate from actual incarcerations," said Alberta's Justice Minister Jonathan Denis.
However, the mayor had strong words for those who oppose its use.
"There is a way to do it that won't cost anything and it requires a few people to change their perception on life and I hope that those people will change their perception on life and save the taxpayers of this province 30 million bucks and that's all I'm going to say about that," he said.
Engineer report needed
But while Denis wouldn't rule it out, he says arrest processing is the responsibility of the City of Calgary.
"What I need to do is receive the city's engineer report and see if the current APU is viable, so until we have that particular information we're dealing with a moving target," he said.
Alberta's Court of Queen's Bench chief justice was asked for a comment today, but declined.
The Calgary Police Service says there's a chance the building may not be worth fixing.
"If we can, we will," said spokesperson Kevin Brookwell. "If not, then we'll have to look at that alternative."
Lots of options on the table
He says there might be major structural damage.
"If we have to look into the future, a lot of options will be discussed and we will find a suitable location that will serve us well into the future," said Brookwell.
He said some options include the Westwinds police detachment, other locations in the downtown core or the Calgary Remand Centre.
"I think a lot of those are still on the table," he said.
Brookwell says it really depends on the assessment of the building, how much damage there is and how much it's going to cost.

Over at WBUR I opine about two of my favorite shows: Justified and Better Call Saul
Another bullet of prose from BLOOD CRIMES:
Vanessa was taking a pint from
one of the livestock. She nodded at Metcalf as he approached, he nodded back.
She had been a prostitute before he infected her. Originally he had picked her
up to be a replacement for one of the dead livestock, but he liked the way she
looked—long red hair that fell halfway down her back, sultry lips,
almond-shaped green eyes and a thin waist with near perfect legs. Her breasts
were smaller than what he typically liked—no bigger than what would fit in a
champagne glass, but they had a perky quality to them so he decided to overlook
that flaw, and besides, the infection would shrink them anyway. The infection
had since bleached out her hair and had shrunk her tits to the size of small
apples, but she dyed her hair the same reddish color as before and even with
the changes to her body that the infection caused, he still liked the way she
looked. There was something else about her that he found himself instantly
attracted to. It took him a while to figure out what it was, but he eventually
understood it. In her own way she was as ruthless as he was, even reminding him
a bit of Serena, although she wasn't nearly as cunning or as crazy. Since the
other vampires were complaining about how overworked they were—and because of
his immediate attraction to her—he infected her and added her to the staff. He
was glad he did. Unlike the others, she accepted her situation and never showed
any self-pity. As far as her competency, well, she never really developed a
touch for drawing blood and was rough with the livestock, but it didn't much
matter. She'd get a pint out of them regardless of how many times she had to
poke them searching for a vein. And it was not as if any of them were going to
complain. All in all, Metcalf was glad he chose to infect her instead of making
her one of the livestock.

Back in July the city offered
this sneak peek at the construction taking place on the $114.9-million bridge over Interstate 30
designed by Santiago Calatrava and named for Dallas philanthropist Margaret McDermott. Today, courtesy
and a follow-up chat with Tampa Steel Erecting Co.'s head of operations, we get a few more details -- just in time too, as the first sections of the bridge will be trucked from Tampa to Dallas come August.
Says Tampa Steel's Jeff Ames in a Friday-morning interview with
The Dallas Morning News
, his company won the $40-million project -- "a pretty good-sized job" -- because, well, "there weren't a lot of fabricators willing to take it on." Says Ames, "The dimensional tolerances are very tight," referring to the 39 separate sections that, when assembled on site, will create the two arches expected to peak at 286 feet.
"We've got all these curved pieces, and they have to be fabricated and welded in place," says Ames, "and with all that welding there's a lot of heat and distortion, and you have to control that or else it will warp." There's not any wiggle room -- less than 1/16th of an inch. "So you've got to fabricate a piece that's 50 feet long, and the cable hangers have to be located in XYZ coordinates with very fine tolerances. Then there's the appearance of the final product -- the paint finish, the smoothness of all the joints, smoothing the welds. It's quite a process. Not a lot of fabricators wanted the job."
That job is presently consuming the entire 80-person shop, with Tampa Steel hiring even more to finish the work. Says Ames, it's not just about fabricating the 39 separate sections, but making sure they fit together before they're assembled in Dallas by Pittsburgh, PA-based
"We've got to fabricate them, put them into lay-down/assembly for the trial fit, then we disassemble them and move them to the paint area and put the final finish on them," he says. "And right now we're in all stages on different sections of each piece. They're numbered: It's 1 at the base and 14 at the apex, and then we come down to 1 again at the base. And we are through fabricating roughly Nos. 7-7, so that's 15 pieces. We have roughly half of that though lay-down, and we're just getting started on the painting process."
Ames says they'll start shipping the first pieces to the job site in August. The sections will be trucked, individually, from Tampa -- a shorter distance than the steel used in the making of the Margaret Hunt Hill traveled, since
and had to be shipped to Houston for delivery up to Dallas.
"It'll be one piece per truckload -- and then there's the entire platform superstructure for bikers and pedestrians," says Ames. "We're just getting started on that, and those will mean additional truckloads."
The second and final arch -- remember when
? -- will make its way from Tampa beginning March 2015. Delivery's expected to be completed by October 2015. And
, the thing was supposed to be open for business by May 2017. But
Says Ames, "We look forward to making a great bridge for ya."

Our protocol has split up the enlargement of this "zone" of linked Aurora content into phases, so that TSUKI may test the waters before loading in too much Aurora.
Since no data can be passed through this zone's Ribbon, registrations and other mutations cannot be processed. Please, come back later. We will remind you when they become available. Active Zone Three will be able to accept such data again.

"As a business improvement district and 501 c 3 organization, sponsorships are an integral part of our annual budget allowing us to achieve promotions, events and projects that we be unable to realize otherwise. Receiving the Google Ad Grant Award has allowed us to not only increase our number of sponsorships this year, but to increase the level of sponsorships as well. Within a 5 month period of leveraging the Adword campaign to secure sponsorships, we had exceeded our sponsorship goals for the year. Thanks Google and Cause Inspired Media for helping us to succeed!"
"From the beginning, it's been an easy process to work with Cause Inspired Media. They quickly understood our organization and what our goals are so they could help us reach them. In just 3 months they more than tripled our website conversion rate through the Google Ad Campaign success. Additionally, they have been particularly great in helping us to understand 'quality clicks' and how its helping us reach our goals."
"Cause Inspired Media has an uncanny ability to understand the heart and mission of our organization with very few conversations. With very little effort on my part they created campaigns that reflect the vision and mission of Compass. When we had an issue with Google they quickly communicated with them and resolved the issue allowing us to move forward with a campaign that might have been shut down without their assistance."
"We saw immediate results once we made the switch to Cause Inspired Media! After spending time with our representative on the phone determining a plan of action, the Cause Inspired Media team took over and within one month our web traffic was up and our holiday campaigns were performing better than they had in years past."

Running a non profit is not a task that anyone should undertake lightly. The truth is that success in the non profit world is hard to come by and the stakes are already so high. Jacob Lief is the founder and chief executive of the Ubuntu Education Fund. It has been his goal to bring education to the impoverished and at risk children that live in Port Elizabeth — a township in the Eastern Cape province of South Africa. Lief's work is obviously changing the lives of the people he helps and as a result it is of the utmost importance that his charity stay efficient and effective.
Jacob Lief was on a speaking gig at the World Economic Forum for it's yearly gathering in Davos. Lief was looking around the room when a realization hit him: "It was nonsense. The money was flowing in but we weren't changing people's lives." Lief had finally stumbled upon a concept that a great many non profit leaders would come to: even if the money was coming in, it didn't mean that it was getting to where it needed to go. For Lief this meant that change needed to occur and it didn't to start happening quickly.
So, this brought Jacob Lief to the board at the Ubuntu Fund. The board, which includes prolific philanthropist Andrew Rolfe, helped to green light a new approach to to raising funds. Lief would go on to call this approach the 'Ubuntu Model'. The Ubuntu Model, as it would turn out, is a change in donation fueling that focuses exclusively on high end benefactors and grounded family funds. Andrew Rolfe and the rest of the board wanted to focus on raising funds that made a difference, that could come in without any strings attached.
Benefactors, as Andrew Rolfe and Jacob Lief know, are the fuel for a non profit to succeed. However, those same benefactors can become overbearing when they make extensive demands and requirements. Andrew Rolfe, for example, is not one of those kinds of benefactors. Rolfe has donated over $100,000 of his own money to the Ubuntu Fund over the past several years, all the while allowing the fund to do its job.

Junk food taking toll on many Nigerians – Professor
Prof. Peter Katchy, National President, National Complementary and Alternative Medical Association (NACAMA), says daily consumption of junk foods is having negative effect on the health of many Nigerians.
Katchy told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Enugu on Saturday that many needed to change their eating habits and carefully choose their diet.
The professor of Alternative Medicine urged Nigerians to eat healthy foods that come directly from farms to boost their immune systems.
He said that junk foods contained a lot of starch, fatty meat, unhealthy cooking oils with high cholesterol, chemicals from seasoning preservatives and additives.
"NACAMA believes that food is the best preventive medicine.
"It is true that some of our diseases have their root in food, which means that the food we eat has the capacity of nourishing us as well as planting a seed of illness,'' Katchy said.
The professor, a member of Ministerial Technical Committee on the Development of Complementary and Alternative Medicine in Nigeria, said that balanced food contained the necessary nutritional chains in their right proportion.
He lauded the Federal Government for its plan to address malnutrition among children of school age in the country through the school feeding programme.
"However, the Federal Government should shore-up protein food availability in the country; this would enable families to meet up with their required daily protein needs," the professor said.
Katchy advised food managers in homes, especially mothers, to ensure that foods are kept clean.
"Mothers should clearly separate raw and cooked foods.
"Cook food thoroughly, keep food at safe temperatures, use safe and potable water to serve meals,'' he said.
