Professions Summary
There are many different professions in Mine Things, which are: Bum, Trader, Highwayman, Guard, Merchant, Pirate, Bounty Hunter, Fisherman, Worker, Manufacturer, Banker, and Pilot. Each has different bonuses and advantages. Different professions are unlocked as you get more melds. New players start out as a miner with no benefits and are unable to use vehicles, ships, and aircraft until obtaining more melds.
Land Based Professions
Everyone starts out as a bum with 0 melds. You can try trading immediately as it too requires 0 melds but in order to change to other professions you need to obtain at least 10 melds. Once you've created the 10th meld, you can become a Worker or a Merchant. Each profession has it's advantages and disadvantages. It's suggested that beginners stay away from the highwayman profession as there is a big chance their vehicles will be damaged.
A bum can't use vehicles or ships and doesn't really do much of anything at all. They wander the streets of their home city and occasionally, they will come across some things that did not fit into a player's inventory. If a bum has room and more melds than any other bums who have found the loot, he will take it all for himself.
A trader specializes in bringing valuable things across great distances. He can carry anything in his vehicles except for other Vehicles or Ships.
- 0 melds to unlock
- Unagressive profession, only get's in fights when targeted
See Trading for more information
A highwayman specializes in pillaging. His vehicles can choose which classes of vehicles to pillage and will target those of any profession. They also select the maximum bribe they will pay when defeated by a guard. Upon success, they fill their cargo-holds to the brim with their victim's things.
- 30 melds to unlock
- Cannot carry anything except weapons, with the exception of items pillaged through successful combat or when moving items from the ghost towns like PP/TT.
- Selectively aggressive profession, seeking combat based on vehicle color
See Pirating for more information
A guard restores order to the trade routes by attacking highwaymen. The guard selects a class of vehicle to attack before departure, as well as a minimum bribe. It will then attack any highwayman it approaches, and upon success they will either: Accept a bribe from the highwayman if the bribe is above their minimum, or damage the highwayman's vehicle if the bribe is not big enough.
- 20 melds to unlock
- Attacks only Highwaymen
- Selectively aggressive profession, seeking combat based on vehicle color and profession
- Takes items from defeated highwayman
- Accepts bribes or damages a defeated highwayman
Sea Based Professions
Once you've reached 10 melds you get the option of starting your ocean based career - 10 melds unlocks the Merchant profession. Three of the sea professions are basically just sea equivalents of the land professions. Merchants are the sea based Traders, Pirates are the Highwaymen of the water, and Bounty Hunters are the Guards of the ocean. Fisherman is a unique profession though, as they are able to carry bait and collect fish. All sea based professions are able to mount cannons, and carry ammunition. Only the merchant is able to carry cargo in addition to weapons.
A merchant can use ships to transport items by sea.
See Trading for more information
A pirate is the highwayman of the sea. Vessels can choose which classes of ships to hunt and will pillage any ships it successfully beats. A pirate can carry weapons and cannon balls. Pirates also get a 20% chance to score a critical hit when attacking with cannons. If a pirate cannot pay his debts, all his vehicles are grounded until he pays them off.
- 30 melds to unlock
- All vehicles receive a 20% chance to score a critical hit when attacking with cannons.
- Cannot carry anything except cannons and ammunition, with the exception of items pillaged through successful combat
- Selectively aggressive profession, seeking combat based on ship color
See Pirating for more information
Bounty Hunter
A bounty hunter earns gold by defeating pirates. If they beat the pirate or sink the pirates ship they will receive a bounty based on the ship's class. If the pirate has insufficient gold to pay then the bounty hunter gets as much gold as the pirate can pay and a loan which will be paid off as soon as the pirate gains enough gold. A bounty hunter can carry weapons and cannon balls. See Hunting for more information.
- 20 melds to unlock
- Attacks only pirates
- Selectively aggressive profession, seeking combat based on ship color and profession
- pillages pirates if successful in combat
See Hunting for more information
A fisherman uses bait and catches fish from the sea. A fisherman can carry weapons, cannon balls, fish, and bait. As he travels there is a chance that he catches fish using the bait he has on board. If he catches a fish the bait will be replaced with the fish he caught. If he passes over a shipwreck then he also has a small chance of salvaging any items that may have sunk with the ship. See Fishing for more information.
Factory Professions
These professions are unlike all the prior professions. Upon reaching 10 melds, you can become a Worker. Workers sell their time in one-week contracts to Manufacturers. At 50 melds, one can become a Manufacturer. Manufacturers operate Factories, hire Workers, and produce more powerful Mining Robots. Neither of these professions is allowed to use any kind of vehicle, however.
A worker is a paid employee of a Manufacturer, and provide labour to produce components. Workers list themselves (just like an item) on the "Worker Market" in each city. A listing represents a contract to work for one week (168 hours starting from the time they are "bought") for a manufacturer. During their employ, a worker is assigned to a factory by the Manufacturer, where they generate components for whatever the Factory is working on (which can include building the factory itself). A worker's productivity is directly connected to their meld count -- a worker with 10-19 melds will make 1 component per hour(cph), workers with 20-29 meld make 2 cph, and so on. This makes high-level players far more valuable to manufacturers and also encourages high meld levels.
Often new players have trouble figuring out what a good price to list themselves as a worker is, and how much you can earn working. To see how much workers are selling for at all levels go to the factories tab in the vertical menu, and then "Hire more workers". This will give you an overview of all the worker markets, from which you can look at each specific market more closely.
A manufacturer has many options available to him. Using Ore excavated on Daigard isle, they can build a factory. Here, new and improved Mining Robots and Ore Melds are developed and damaged items are repaired. To build a factory, one needs 20 Ore and 9000 components. Components are produced by workers, which can be hired at up to 7 at a time for 1-week contracts. Once a factory is built, Manufacturers can rent out their factory to other Manufacturers on the free market for one-week periods. They can also rent a factory themselves. To produce components for miner bots or melds, a manufacturer may hire Workers. Once enough components are produced at a factory, the Manufacturer may create a Miner Bot. The bot's level depends on the Manufacturer -- a Manufacturer with 50-59 melds builds MR5s, with 60-69 they build MR6s, and so forth. Higher level bots will find more items in mines, since they can locate damaged items. Any uncovered items or vehicles that are damaged can also be repaired at a factory for a certain number of components and ore.
Manufacturers also have access to special Ore Melds which can only be produced in their own factories.
Air Based Professions
There is currently only one air based profession, and that is the pilot. Once a miner has created 40 melds, they are able to become a pilot and can have up to 4 planes. For each 10 additional melds, the pilot is able to manage an additional plane in their squadron. The air based professions are heavily reliant upon the efforts of the manufacturer and workers. The planes and bombs are all created from ore and components and constructed in factories with the help of worker's components.
Pilots seek out and destroy the ore thieves' base then recover ore from the wreckage. Each pilot is required to locate the base on their own through the use of a Search Plane. Once the base has been discovered, the pilot can send out Bombers stocked with up to 4 bombs, either Flower bombs for smaller effect and lower cost, or the high powered Thumper bombs. Pilots should be on guard and watch out for the enemy AA guns though, as all aircraft risk being shot down near the ore thieves' base, but the shield gadget will reduce the risk of being shot down by 10%. Once the bombers have completely annihilated the base, a pilot can send in the Helicopters to pickup the ore, at up to 4 pieces at a time. After the last piece of ore has been recovered from the thieves' base, the pilot will start the process over by searching for the next base.
Financial Professions
There is currently only one Financial based profession, and that is the banker. Once a miner has created 50 melds, they are able to become a banker and take deposits and give loans.
A banker provides loans and holds deposits for customers. They earn gold by having higher interest rates for loans than deposits. They must build their reputation by accepting deposits and paying them back on time. A banker's bank is listed above those of bankers with fewer melds.
Loans are initiated when a customer applies for one. This is done by clicking Banking, then "Apply for a loan." The customer decides how much gold they want to borrow (principle), how long they want it for (duration) and what monthly interest they are willing to pay (compounded daily). As they make these choices, they are informed of the number of weekly payments they will need to make, the amount they will need to pay each week, and the total cost of the loan. When the customer has finished deciding the terms, they will choose which banks they'd like to send the application to. They can send it to as many banks as they would like. If one bank accepts an application, the other applications are automatically deleted. Once they've sent the application, the bankers will be notified and can respond to the application either by approving it, modifying the terms (duration/interest) or rejecting it completely. If the banker modifies the terms, the customer will be notified and get a chance to either approve/modify/reject the application. Loan application modifications can go back and forth as many times as necessary for both parties to be satisfied with the terms.
Deposits are very similar to loans. A deposit is made when a customer wants to save his/her money at a bank. This is essentially a loan going the other direction. The main difference is that instead of being repaid on a weekly schedule, a deposit is paid back at the end of its duration. Customers should choose carefully who they deposit their money with, as a banker could decide to not repay the deposit at all. Customers should research their bank carefully by clicking on the Banks sub-tab within the Banking page. Bankers need to exercise the same sort of caution when approving loans. To help indicate a player's credit-worthiness, late payments are kept track of and are available to any bank at which a customer applies. "Late days" are accumulated each day that a loan or deposit is overdue. If the count reaches 90 days, then the loan is considered to have been defaulted and will stop accumulating late days. Also available is the banker's join date, gold balance, and total banking assets/liabilities. "Assets" means "what's owed to the banker" and is calculated as the total balance on all loans at their bank plus all personal deposits at other banks. "Liabilities" means "what the banker owes" and is calculated as the total balance on all deposits at their bank plus all personal loans from other banks.
Banking can be a very risky profession, as there is not currently a way to enforce collections on defaulted loans. However, with the right interest rates and reliable customers, banking can be very profitable. Loans are also a very useful tool in the community of miners. It allows new players to get started more quickly, and enterprising players to make investments, which will (hopefully) pay off in the long run.

Cleveland, OH (SportsNetwork.com) - Yan Gomes came through with a go-ahead two-run homer in the bottom of the eighth inning that lifted the Cleveland Indians to a 3-2 victory over the Chicago White Sox in the rubber match of a three-game series. Gomes followed a single by Nick Swisher with an opposite-field blast off Javy Guerra (0-2) that sent Cleveland ahead for good after the Tribe blew a 1-0 lead in the top of the eighth. Gomes also knocked in the Indians' other run with a second-inning single, while Trevor Bauer struck out a career-high 10 batters over 6 2/3 scoreless innings despite not factoring in the decision. Leury Garcia and Gordon Beckham each recorded RBI singles against Bryan Shaw (4-1) in the White Sox' half of the eighth to temporarily erase a 1-0 deficit. Garcia finished 2-for-4, while MLB home run leader Jose Abreu had three hits -- though all were singles. Chicago, which lost four of its last five games prior to the All-Star break, also received a solid outing from starter John Danks. The veteran lefty scattered seven hits while yielding just one run over seven innings. "We need to go out and play better baseball all the way around," Danks said. "We just have to put it all together." Shaw spoiled Bauer's strong performance by being tagged for three hits in the top of the eighth, but Gomes picked up the reliever by hammering a slider from Guerra into the right-field bullpen to put the Indians back in front. "I was just trying to do the same thing Swisher did," Gomes said. "I didn't think I was going to (hit a home run) but it felt pretty good." Cody Allen then finished the job in the ninth, fanning two while setting the side down in order to notch his 12th save. The White Sox stranded 10 runners over the first seven innings and 12 in all, but were finally able to break out with a couple of clutch hits while down a run in the eighth. Conor Gillaspie began the rally with a one-out single against Shaw and advanced to second on a wild pitch before Beckham -- mired in a 2-for-36 slump -- laced a base hit up the middle to forge a 1-1 tie. After a Tyler Flowers grounder pushed Beckham to second, Garcia singled under the glove of Indians second baseman Jason Kipnis to briefly give Chicago the lead. Cleveland had its own struggles with men in scoring position throughout the contest, though it managed to push home an early run when back-to-back singles by Swisher and Gomes followed Danks' walk to Ryan Raburn in the second. The White Sox had their best chance against Bauer in the top of the second, recording three singles against the right-hander during the frame. However, Gillaspie was doubled off of first base when casually retreating on Beckham's fly ball to left fielder Mike Aviles to help kill the scoring chance. Chicago later put the first two men aboard in the sixth, but Bauer prevented any damage by striking out Beckham and Garcia around a groundout. Game Notes The White Sox recalled infielder Carlos Sanchez from Triple-A Charlotte before the game to fill in for All-Star shortstop Alexei Ramirez (back). He went 0- for-5 and committed an error in his MLB debut ... Danks made his 200th career start ... Abreu, seeking to become the first rookie since Mark McGwire in 1987 to lead the majors in homers at the break, extended his hitting streak to eight games ... Chicago fell to 3-12 at Progressive Field since the start of the 2013 season.

Cornell undergraduates Brian Harding and Cat Jubinski built a portable face recognition system for their capstone ECE 4760 project:
Our design consists of an Atmel ATmega644 8-bit microcontroller, a C3088 camera module with an OmniVision OV6620 CMOS image sensor, Atmel's AT45DB321D Serial Dataflash, a Varitronix MDLS16264 LCD module for output, a 9-volt battery, and a small wooden structure for chin support.
The system is hooked up to a computer to train the pattern-recognition algorithm, but from then on it can enroll new users, delete old users, and recognize up to 20 enrolled users as a standalone system. Their very detailed report claims "an 88% successful login rate with no false positives" and includes testing data, schematics, source code, a priced parts list, and some ideas for improvement in the next prototype. [Thanks, Max!]

INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. — I am so glad winter is over and we can now begin to enjoy spring at Tahoe. Get out and see some of the flowers starting to bloom around the village. Right now the village is quiet with so many families on vacation. Earth Day is this month and we can all do our part by helping pick up some of the trash starting to accumulate around the village by taking along a trash bag on our daily walks.
Sorry to have to report that Monday, April 15, is Tax Day. Definitely a day to go sit at the beach and enjoy Tahoe. Oh, and also starting Tuesday, April 15, dogs are no longer allowed at Ski Beach. That of course means it is also time to remind everyone that is the responsibility of each owner to clean up the doggy doo-doo as they walk around. We have lots of places to deposit trash around the village. Please be responsible, pet owners.

Books on marriage from a religious point of view are heavily published by evangelical Christian houses, and this year their books on the subject keep clearly in focus the idea that a good marriage requires effort. New titles that promise everything from long-term strategies to quick fixes are all designed to improve and strengthen what for many people is the longest, most complex relationship of their lives.
As has been true in the past, the targeted readers are women, who buy most of the books on this topic. But titles specifically aimed at men are gaining ground. And while established authors have new entries, the category is opening itself up to newer and younger voices, reflecting the views of a generation whose ideas about marriage are changing.
The Tried and True
At Revell, a division of Baker Publishing Group, there is faith in the tried-and-true titles for women about marital threats like infidelity and poor communication. Revell has had strong success in this category, most notably with His Needs, Her Needs: Building an Affair-Proof Marriage by Willard F. Harley Jr., originally released more than 25 years ago and revised by the author in 2011. It has sold more than 2.5 million copies in all formats, so editorial directo Jennifer Leep does not expect Revell's approach to change. "The 10 basic needs explored in His Needs, Her Needs are the same as they were two and a half decades ago, even though the ways they express themselves in today's culture are different," she says. "That book is a good example of what's true for this category as a whole." New from Revell is The Marriage of Your Dreams: A Woman's Guide to Understanding Her Man by Rick Johnson (Sept.) and Praying God's Word for Your Husband by Kathi Lipp (June). The Baker Books imprint has Lifelong Love Affair: How to Have a Passionate and Deeply Rewarding Marriage by Jimmy Evans with Frank Martin (Sept.). And Crossway will publish The Fruitful Wife: Cultivating Love Only God Can Produce by Hayley DiMarco (Sept.; profiled in this issue), while Tyndale has Your Heart's Desire: 14 Truths That Will Forever Change the Way You Love and Are Loved by Sheri Rose Shepherd (June).
At Whitaker House, titles also reflect the more traditional version of marriage with an emphasis on advice. Says publisher Bob Whitaker Jr., "If a book is not cutting to the issues of why marriages are failing and families are falling apart, I don't think it is worth publishing." New from Whitaker House are Releasing Family Blessings: God's Plan for Your Marriage and Children by Larry and Tiz Huch (Aug.), who are top-selling authors for the house, and Faith, Family & Finances: Strong Foundations for a Better Life by Henry Fernandez (Mar.), a megachurch pastor.
Whitaker intends to expand its lineup of marriage books soon, but look for future titles to try for a male readership. "Men are not stepping up to the plate to support their families, so I am happy to publish books that address issues to men," Whitaker says. He also expects future titles on "challenged marriages," such as those struggling with addiction. The house publishes in Spanish to a market that has been responsive to its marriage titles. "The Spanish market struggles with the same marriage issues," Whitaker notes. A Spanish version of Faith, Family & Finances releases in October, and Releasing Family Blessings will be published in Spanish next spring.
When it comes to marriage, Zondervan is wary of trends, says v-p of marketing Don Gates. "While the super-sexed-up books in the last year have received a lot of attention, they were not the best of sellers," he says. "We focus on enduring themes and opportunities in marriage—communicating with each other, understanding the other, growing together spiritually, and the like." He cites Joni & Ken: An Untold Love Story by Joni Eareckson Tada and her husband and Couples of the Bible: A One-Year Devotional to Draw You Closer to God and Each Other by Robert and Bobbie Wolgemuth (both Apr. 2013).
Classic Takes, Fresh Views
At Moody, the 800-pound gorilla is The 5 Love Languages, Gary Chapman's 1992 marriage bestseller, which has sold more than seven million copies and spawned a whole family of spinoffs. Those spinoffs continue with Chapman's The Love Languages Devotional Bible (Oct.), which has commentary, devotions, and prayer guides for couples. Moody is also turning to fiction: for last Christmas the house produced A Marriage Carol, a retelling of the 19th-century Dickens classic as an instructional tale about modern marriage; Walk with Me: Pilgrim's Progress for Married Couples by Annie Wald (Sept.; profiled in this issue) is a retelling of John Bunyan's 17th-century Christian allegory. Deborah Keiser, Moody's associate publisher, is looking for more fictional approaches to marriage and relationships. "In fiction, you can fall in love with a character and what's happening in their lives and identify with them in a way you can't with nonfiction," she says. "Telling you is only one way of learning, and this is a different way, learning through story."
At WaterBrook Multnomah, the Christian division of Random House, v-p and editor-in-chief Ken Petersen says the "general marriage book" may be a thing of the past. "Anything new has to have a distinctive concept," he says. That's what the house hopes it has with Altared: The True Story of a She, a He, and How They Both Got Too Worked Up About We by authors known only as "Claire and Eli" (Sept.; reviewed in this issue). The book is a critical look at the notions and pressures of marriage within the evangelical church; it is based on the authors' own experiences as a young Christian couple. "Altared is a great example of this new literature and new emphasis," says Petersen. "There's less emphasis on avoiding divorce and more emphasis on creating deep, intimate relationships." But the practical advice book retains its hold on the marketplace, too. One Month to Love: Thirty Days to Grow and Deepen Your Closest Relationships by Kerry and Chris Shook (WaterBrook, Dec.) is an attempt to build on the authors' 2008 success, One Month to Live: Thirty Days to a No-Regrets Life.
Practical is the buzzword at Harvest House, where marriage titles account for approximately 25 % of its list. Publicist Aaron Dillon says readers are looking for "something relational." Short is sweet, too. "Our readers respond well to a format of 31 days or 52 weeks," Dillon says. "Things that are practical and implementable are generating success for us." New titles reflect that with 31 Days to a Happy Husband by Arlene Pellicane (Aug.), 101 Questions to Ask Before You Get Remarried by H. Norman Wright (Oct.), and Singleness, Marriage, and the Will of God, described as a comprehensive biblical guide, by J. Robin Maxson with Garry Freisen (Aug.).
Harvest House recognizes the main customers for marriage titles are women, but it too would like to reach more men. "Those titles have to have the same concision and advice you want for the women, but even more so because men for the most part are not readers," Dillon says. He points to 52 Things Wives Need from Their Husbands by Jay Payleitner (Feb.) as an example. And look for the category to niche into specific issues married people may confront, such as infertility, infidelity, and adoption.
What will the marriage book of the future look like? Studies show fewer couples are choosing to get married, and those that do are getting married later. At the same time, more couples are opting for childlessness, thereby redefining the idea of what marriage is traditionally "for"—creating families. "Generation Y and to some extent millennials are beginning to reinvent the marriage book of the future," says WaterBrook Multnomah's Petersen. "I see them less interested in traditional roles and more interested in adapting flexible roles that fit each personality within the marriage." Whitaker agrees—to a point. He believes that while young people today no longer assume they should get married, they are not doing much thinking about what else they should do in terms of their relationships. "A growing group faces so many choices they find it difficult to make decisions," Whitaker says. "Upcoming books on dating and marriage would do well to address the question 'How can a person best serve God—as a married parent or as a single man or woman?' "
Before Mating, Dating
So many ways to meet potential partners—online dating services, social networking groups, even professional matchmakers. What can this season's dating books from religion and spirituality publishers add to help the search? Words of experience leavened by practical advice. "It isn't enough for someone to tell their story," says Barry Russell, sales manager at Beacon Hill Press. "They need to have something people can take away and apply to their own situation."
Beacon Hill has several new dating titles that reflect another trend Russell sees— the further niching of the category. "People want products specifically catered to their needs," he says, and Beacon aims for that with Dating After Divorce: Preparing for a New Relationship by David and Lisa Frisbie (June). The same holds true at Bethany House, with its Dating and the Single Parent by Ron Deal (Oct.).
Not surprisingly, there is a good deal of focus on the young, too. Zondervan has Is This the One? Simple Dates for Finding the Love of Your Life by Stephen Arterburn (Apr.; reviewed in this issue). Mormon publisher Cedar Fort offers Unsteady Dating: Resisting the Rush to Romance by JeaNette G. Smith (July), and Thomas Nelson will publish The Truth About Breaking Up, Making Up, and Moving On by Chad Eastham (Jan. 2013). Nelson's AnnJanette Toth, marketing director for children's and family entertainment, says the future of this category will include more e-books, social media, and maybe even some apps. "A lot of young adults and kids are going to the Internet to find their answers, so it makes sense for us to meet them there," she says.
In a play for younger readers, Servant Books, an imprint of Catholic publisher Franciscan Media, is publishing Would You Date You? by Anthony Buono (July), the founder of Ave Maria Singles, a Catholic dating site. Franciscan has had other titles that touched on dating—most notably If You Really Loved Me by Jason Evert (2009)—but Christopher Holmes, Franciscan's marketing strategy and services manager, says Would You Date You? is its first book dedicated to the topic, and its author is perfectly poised to reach young Catholics and beyond. "Anthony's background brings the possibility of a new audience, the younger adults we are always trying to reach," he says.

Being diagnosed with the BRCA II gene mutation for breast cancer answers a lot of questions for me. For one thing it helps me to understand how I could have been so careful with my health and yet developed breast cancer. I don't have to wonder what I should have done to prevent it. To some extent we all ask that question after diagnosis wondering how we could have avoided developing the disease, but as my surgeon said "Cancer is not your fault." I never believed it was, but nonetheless having a predisposition to the cancer still provides me with some insight. It also gives me something more to consider.
I have been considering how the hereditary factor may affect my children. I wrote a couple of weeks ago about "the Big Guy" asking me if the cancer I had was ran in the family. Lately I have been wondering about the lives of my two sons, their futures and their families. It will be years before either of them starts a family or gets married for that matter, but it will be a concern. My niece Nicole is newly married and expecting her first baby and since she tested positive for the gene mutation also, we are actually relieved that she is starting her family now in her twenties. When she finishes having her children she can turn her attention to talking steps to reduce her risks of developing breast cancer.
Sister and I inherited the gene mutation from my father. He battled non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Is this a cancer that my sons could develop? The Big Guy's question certainly opened up whole new issues for me. Cancer has plagued my family for most of my life; I had hoped my children wouldn't have the same issues. They have already had two grandfathers die of the disease, a mother diagnosed with breast cancer and a step father diagnosed with prostate cancer. We don't dwell on it. Like most families we focus on our good times and our future. As a mother though I know we need to be equipped with knowledge to stay ahead of any cancer threats. So after five years of survivorship for me at a time when my doctor says we can relax our concerns, I am becoming more vigilant. For my kids sake, for my sake, for our future. I'm not quite sure what that entails, but it's time to find out.

This module implements specialized container datatypes providing alternatives to Python's general purpose built-in containers, dict, list, set, and tuple.
|factory function for creating tuple subclasses with named fields
|list-like container with fast appends and pops on either end
|dict subclass for counting hashable objects
|dict subclass that remembers the order entries were added
|dict subclass that calls a factory function to supply missing values
|wrapper around dictionary objects for easier dict subclassing
|wrapper around list objects for easier list subclassing
|wrapper around string objects for easier string subclassing
In addition to the concrete container classes, the collections module provides ABCs (abstract base classes) that can be used to test whether a class provides a particular interface, for example, whether it is hashable or a mapping.
A counter tool is provided to support convenient and rapid tallies. For example:
>>> # Tally occurrences of words in a list
>>> cnt = Counter()
>>> for word in ['red', 'blue', 'red', 'green', 'blue', 'blue']:
... cnt[word] += 1
>>> cnt
Counter({'blue': 3, 'red': 2, 'green': 1})
>>> # Find the ten most common words in Hamlet
>>> import re
>>> words = re.findall('\w+', open('hamlet.txt').read().lower())
>>> Counter(words).most_common(10)
[('the', 1143), ('and', 966), ('to', 762), ('of', 669), ('i', 631),
('you', 554), ('a', 546), ('my', 514), ('hamlet', 471), ('in', 451)]
A Counter is a dict subclass for counting hashable objects. It is an unordered collection where elements are stored as dictionary keys and their counts are stored as dictionary values. Counts are allowed to be any integer value including zero or negative counts. The Counter class is similar to bags or multisets in other languages.
Elements are counted from an iterable or initialized from another mapping (or counter):
>>> c = Counter() # a new, empty counter
>>> c = Counter('gallahad') # a new counter from an iterable
>>> c = Counter({'red': 4, 'blue': 2}) # a new counter from a mapping
>>> c = Counter(cats=4, dogs=8) # a new counter from keyword args
Counter objects have a dictionary interface except that they return a zero count for missing items instead of raising a KeyError:
>>> c = Counter(['eggs', 'ham'])
>>> c['bacon'] # count of a missing element is zero
Setting a count to zero does not remove an element from a counter. Use del to remove it entirely:
>>> c['sausage'] = 0 # counter entry with a zero count
>>> del c['sausage'] # del actually removes the entry
New in version 3.1.
Counter objects support two methods beyond those available for all dictionaries:
Return an iterator over elements repeating each as many times as its count. Elements are returned in arbitrary order. If an element's count is less than one, elements() will ignore it.
>>> c = Counter(a=4, b=2, c=0, d=-2)
>>> list(c.elements())
['a', 'a', 'a', 'a', 'b', 'b']
Return a list of the n most common elements and their counts from the most common to the least. If n is not specified, most_common() returns all elements in the counter. Elements with equal counts are ordered arbitrarily:
>>> Counter('abracadabra').most_common(3)
[('a', 5), ('r', 2), ('b', 2)]
The usual dictionary methods are available for Counter objects except for two which work differently for counters.
Common patterns for working with Counter objects:
sum(c.values()) # total of all counts
c.clear() # reset all counts
list(c) # list unique elements
set(c) # convert to a set
dict(c) # convert to a regular dictionary
c.items() # convert to a list of (elem, cnt) pairs
Counter(dict(list_of_pairs)) # convert from a list of (elem, cnt) pairs
c.most_common()[:-n:-1] # n least common elements
c += Counter() # remove zero and negative counts
Several mathematical operations are provided for combining Counter objects to produce multisets (counters that have counts greater than zero). Addition and subtraction combine counters by adding or subtracting the counts of corresponding elements. Intersection and union return the minimum and maximum of corresponding counts. Each operation can accept inputs with signed counts, but the output will exclude results with counts of zero or less.
>>> c = Counter(a=3, b=1)
>>> d = Counter(a=1, b=2)
>>> c + d # add two counters together: c[x] + d[x]
Counter({'a': 4, 'b': 3})
>>> c - d # subtract (keeping only positive counts)
Counter({'a': 2})
>>> c & d # intersection: min(c[x], d[x])
Counter({'a': 1, 'b': 1})
>>> c | d # union: max(c[x], d[x])
Counter({'a': 3, 'b': 2})
Counters were primarily designed to work with positive integers to represent running counts; however, care was taken to not unnecessarily preclude use cases needing other types or negative values. To help with those use cases, this section documents the minimum range and type restrictions.

Returns a new deque object initialized left-to-right (using append()) with data from iterable. If iterable is not specified, the new deque is empty.
Deques are a generalization of stacks and queues (the name is pronounced "deck" and is short for "double-ended queue"). Deques support thread-safe, memory efficient appends and pops from either side of the deque with approximately the same O(1) performance in either direction.
Though list objects support similar operations, they are optimized for fast fixed-length operations and incur O(n) memory movement costs for pop(0) and insert(0, v) operations which change both the size and position of the underlying data representation.
If maxlen is not specified or is None, deques may grow to an arbitrary length. Otherwise, the deque is bounded to the specified maximum length. Once a bounded length deque is full, when new items are added, a corresponding number of items are discarded from the opposite end. Bounded length deques provide functionality similar to the tail filter in Unix. They are also useful for tracking transactions and other pools of data where only the most recent activity is of interest.
Deque objects support the following methods:
Deque objects also provide one read-only attribute:
Maximum size of a deque or None if unbounded.
New in version 3.1.
In addition to the above, deques support iteration, pickling, len(d), reversed(d), copy.copy(d), copy.deepcopy(d), membership testing with the in operator, and subscript references such as d[-1]. Indexed access is O(1) at both ends but slows to O(n) in the middle. For fast random access, use lists instead.
>>> from collections import deque
>>> d = deque('ghi') # make a new deque with three items
>>> for elem in d: # iterate over the deque's elements
... print(elem.upper())
>>> d.append('j') # add a new entry to the right side
>>> d.appendleft('f') # add a new entry to the left side
>>> d # show the representation of the deque
deque(['f', 'g', 'h', 'i', 'j'])
>>> d.pop() # return and remove the rightmost item
>>> d.popleft() # return and remove the leftmost item
>>> list(d) # list the contents of the deque
['g', 'h', 'i']
>>> d[0] # peek at leftmost item
>>> d[-1] # peek at rightmost item
>>> list(reversed(d)) # list the contents of a deque in reverse
['i', 'h', 'g']
>>> 'h' in d # search the deque
>>> d.extend('jkl') # add multiple elements at once
>>> d
deque(['g', 'h', 'i', 'j', 'k', 'l'])
>>> d.rotate(1) # right rotation
>>> d
deque(['l', 'g', 'h', 'i', 'j', 'k'])
>>> d.rotate(-1) # left rotation
>>> d
deque(['g', 'h', 'i', 'j', 'k', 'l'])
>>> deque(reversed(d)) # make a new deque in reverse order
deque(['l', 'k', 'j', 'i', 'h', 'g'])
>>> d.clear() # empty the deque
>>> d.pop() # cannot pop from an empty deque
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#6>", line 1, in -toplevel-
IndexError: pop from an empty deque
>>> d.extendleft('abc') # extendleft() reverses the input order
>>> d
deque(['c', 'b', 'a'])
This section shows various approaches to working with deques.
Bounded length deques provide functionality similar to the tail filter in Unix:
def tail(filename, n=10):
'Return the last n lines of a file'
return deque(open(filename), n)
Another approach to using deques is to maintain a sequence of recently added elements by appending to the right and popping to the left:
def moving_average(iterable, n=3):
# moving_average([40, 30, 50, 46, 39, 44]) --> 40.0 42.0 45.0 43.0
# http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moving_average
it = iter(iterable)
d = deque(itertools.islice(it, n-1))
s = sum(d)
for elem in it:
s += elem - d.popleft()
yield s / n
The rotate() method provides a way to implement deque slicing and deletion. For example, a pure Python implementation of del d[n] relies on the rotate() method to position elements to be popped:
def delete_nth(d, n):
To implement deque slicing, use a similar approach applying rotate() to bring a target element to the left side of the deque. Remove old entries with popleft(), add new entries with extend(), and then reverse the rotation. With minor variations on that approach, it is easy to implement Forth style stack manipulations such as dup, drop, swap, over, pick, rot, and roll.
Returns a new dictionary-like object. defaultdict is a subclass of the built-in dict class. It overrides one method and adds one writable instance variable. The remaining functionality is the same as for the dict class and is not documented here.
The first argument provides the initial value for the default_factory attribute; it defaults to None. All remaining arguments are treated the same as if they were passed to the dict constructor, including keyword arguments.
defaultdict objects support the following method in addition to the standard dict operations:
If the default_factory attribute is None, this raises a KeyError exception with the key as argument.
If default_factory is not None, it is called without arguments to provide a default value for the given key, this value is inserted in the dictionary for the key, and returned.
If calling default_factory raises an exception this exception is propagated unchanged.
This method is called by the __getitem__() method of the dict class when the requested key is not found; whatever it returns or raises is then returned or raised by __getitem__().
defaultdict objects support the following instance variable:
Using list as the default_factory, it is easy to group a sequence of key-value pairs into a dictionary of lists:
>>> s = [('yellow', 1), ('blue', 2), ('yellow', 3), ('blue', 4), ('red', 1)]
>>> d = defaultdict(list)
>>> for k, v in s:
... d[k].append(v)
>>> list(d.items())
[('blue', [2, 4]), ('red', [1]), ('yellow', [1, 3])]
When each key is encountered for the first time, it is not already in the mapping; so an entry is automatically created using the default_factory function which returns an empty list. The list.append() operation then attaches the value to the new list. When keys are encountered again, the look-up proceeds normally (returning the list for that key) and the list.append() operation adds another value to the list. This technique is simpler and faster than an equivalent technique using dict.setdefault():
>>> d = {}
>>> for k, v in s:
... d.setdefault(k, []).append(v)
>>> list(d.items())
[('blue', [2, 4]), ('red', [1]), ('yellow', [1, 3])]
Setting the default_factory to int makes the defaultdict useful for counting (like a bag or multiset in other languages):
>>> s = 'mississippi'
>>> d = defaultdict(int)
>>> for k in s:
... d[k] += 1
>>> list(d.items())
[('i', 4), ('p', 2), ('s', 4), ('m', 1)]
When a letter is first encountered, it is missing from the mapping, so the default_factory function calls int() to supply a default count of zero. The increment operation then builds up the count for each letter.
The function int() which always returns zero is just a special case of constant functions. A faster and more flexible way to create constant functions is to use a lambda function which can supply any constant value (not just zero):
>>> def constant_factory(value):
... return lambda: value
>>> d = defaultdict(constant_factory('<missing>'))
>>> d.update(name='John', action='ran')
>>> '%(name)s %(action)s to %(object)s' % d
'John ran to <missing>'
Setting the default_factory to set makes the defaultdict useful for building a dictionary of sets:
>>> s = [('red', 1), ('blue', 2), ('red', 3), ('blue', 4), ('red', 1), ('blue', 4)]
>>> d = defaultdict(set)
>>> for k, v in s:
... d[k].add(v)
>>> list(d.items())
[('blue', set([2, 4])), ('red', set([1, 3]))]
Named tuples assign meaning to each position in a tuple and allow for more readable, self-documenting code. They can be used wherever regular tuples are used, and they add the ability to access fields by name instead of position index.
Returns a new tuple subclass named typename. The new subclass is used to create tuple-like objects that have fields accessible by attribute lookup as well as being indexable and iterable. Instances of the subclass also have a helpful docstring (with typename and field_names) and a helpful __repr__() method which lists the tuple contents in a name=value format.
The field_names are a single string with each fieldname separated by whitespace and/or commas, for example 'x y' or 'x, y'. Alternatively, field_names can be a sequence of strings such as ['x', 'y'].
Any valid Python identifier may be used for a fieldname except for names starting with an underscore. Valid identifiers consist of letters, digits, and underscores but do not start with a digit or underscore and cannot be a keyword such as class, for, return, global, pass, or raise.
If rename is true, invalid fieldnames are automatically replaced with positional names. For example, ['abc', 'def', 'ghi', 'abc'] is converted to ['abc', '_1', 'ghi', '_3'], eliminating the keyword def and the duplicate fieldname abc.
If verbose is true, the class definition is printed just before being built.
Named tuple instances do not have per-instance dictionaries, so they are lightweight and require no more memory than regular tuples.
Changed in version 3.1: Added support for rename.
>>> Point = namedtuple('Point', 'x y', verbose=True)
class Point(tuple):
'Point(x, y)'
__slots__ = ()
_fields = ('x', 'y')
def __new__(_cls, x, y):
return _tuple.__new__(_cls, (x, y))
def _make(cls, iterable, new=tuple.__new__, len=len):
'Make a new Point object from a sequence or iterable'
result = new(cls, iterable)
if len(result) != 2:
raise TypeError('Expected 2 arguments, got %d' % len(result))
return result
def __repr__(self):
return 'Point(x=%r, y=%r)' % self
def _asdict(self):
'Return a new OrderedDict which maps field names to their values'
return OrderedDict(zip(self._fields, self))
def _replace(_self, **kwds):
'Return a new Point object replacing specified fields with new values'
result = _self._make(map(kwds.pop, ('x', 'y'), _self))
if kwds:
raise ValueError('Got unexpected field names: %r' % list(kwds.keys()))
return result
def __getnewargs__(self):
return tuple(self)
x = _property(_itemgetter(0))
y = _property(_itemgetter(1))
>>> p = Point(11, y=22) # instantiate with positional or keyword arguments
>>> p[0] + p[1] # indexable like the plain tuple (11, 22)
>>> x, y = p # unpack like a regular tuple
>>> x, y
(11, 22)
>>> p.x + p.y # fields also accessible by name
>>> p # readable __repr__ with a name=value style
Point(x=11, y=22)
Named tuples are especially useful for assigning field names to result tuples returned by the csv or sqlite3 modules:
EmployeeRecord = namedtuple('EmployeeRecord', 'name, age, title, department, paygrade')
import csv
for emp in map(EmployeeRecord._make, csv.reader(open("employees.csv", "rb"))):
print(emp.name, emp.title)
import sqlite3
conn = sqlite3.connect('/companydata')
cursor = conn.cursor()
cursor.execute('SELECT name, age, title, department, paygrade FROM employees')
for emp in map(EmployeeRecord._make, cursor.fetchall()):
print(emp.name, emp.title)
In addition to the methods inherited from tuples, named tuples support three additional methods and one attribute. To prevent conflicts with field names, the method and attribute names start with an underscore.
>>> t = [11, 22]
>>> Point._make(t)
Point(x=11, y=22)
Return a new OrderedDict which maps field names to their corresponding values:
>>> p._asdict()
OrderedDict([('x', 11), ('y', 22)])
Changed in version 3.1: Returns an OrderedDict instead of a regular dict.
>>> p = Point(x=11, y=22)
>>> p._replace(x=33)
Point(x=33, y=22)
>>> for partnum, record in inventory.items():
... inventory[partnum] = record._replace(price=newprices[partnum], timestamp=time.now())
>>> p._fields # view the field names
('x', 'y')
>>> Color = namedtuple('Color', 'red green blue')
>>> Pixel = namedtuple('Pixel', Point._fields + Color._fields)
>>> Pixel(11, 22, 128, 255, 0)
Pixel(x=11, y=22, red=128, green=255, blue=0)
To retrieve a field whose name is stored in a string, use the getattr() function:
>>> getattr(p, 'x')
To convert a dictionary to a named tuple, use the double-star-operator (as described in Unpacking Argument Lists):
>>> d = {'x': 11, 'y': 22}
>>> Point(**d)
Point(x=11, y=22)
Since a named tuple is a regular Python class, it is easy to add or change functionality with a subclass. Here is how to add a calculated field and a fixed-width print format:
>>> class Point(namedtuple('Point', 'x y')): ... __slots__ = () ... @property ... def hypot(self): ... return (self.x ** 2 + self.y ** 2) ** 0.5 ... def __str__(self): ... return 'Point: x=%6.3f y=%6.3f hypot=%6.3f' % (self.x, self.y, self.hypot)>>> for p in Point(3, 4), Point(14, 5/7): ... print(p) Point: x= 3.000 y= 4.000 hypot= 5.000 Point: x=14.000 y= 0.714 hypot=14.018
The subclass shown above sets __slots__ to an empty tuple. This helps keep memory requirements low by preventing the creation of instance dictionaries.
Subclassing is not useful for adding new, stored fields. Instead, simply create a new named tuple type from the _fields attribute:
>>> Point3D = namedtuple('Point3D', Point._fields + ('z',))
Default values can be implemented by using _replace() to customize a prototype instance:
>>> Account = namedtuple('Account', 'owner balance transaction_count')
>>> default_account = Account('<owner name>', 0.0, 0)
>>> johns_account = default_account._replace(owner='John')
Enumerated constants can be implemented with named tuples, but it is simpler and more efficient to use a simple class declaration:
>>> Status = namedtuple('Status', 'open pending closed')._make(range(3))
>>> Status.open, Status.pending, Status.closed
(0, 1, 2)
>>> class Status:
... open, pending, closed = range(3)

Ordered dictionaries are just like regular dictionaries but they remember the order that items were inserted. When iterating over an ordered dictionary, the items are returned in the order their keys were first added.
Return an instance of a dict subclass, supporting the usual dict methods. An OrderedDict is a dict that remembers the order that keys were first inserted. If a new entry overwrites an existing entry, the original insertion position is left unchanged. Deleting an entry and reinserting it will move it to the end.
New in version 3.1.
In addition to the usual mapping methods, ordered dictionaries also support reverse iteration using reversed().
Equality tests between OrderedDict objects are order-sensitive and are implemented as list(od1.items())==list(od2.items()). Equality tests between OrderedDict objects and other Mapping objects are order-insensitive like regular dictionaries. This allows OrderedDict objects to be substituted anywhere a regular dictionary is used.
The OrderedDict constructor and update() method both accept keyword arguments, but their order is lost because Python's function call semantics pass-in keyword arguments using a regular unordered dictionary.
See also
Equivalent OrderedDict recipe that runs on Python 2.4 or later.
Since an ordered dictionary remembers its insertion order, it can be used in conjuction with sorting to make a sorted dictionary:
>>> # regular unsorted dictionary
>>> d = {'banana': 3, 'apple':4, 'pear': 1, 'orange': 2}
>>> # dictionary sorted by key
>>> OrderedDict(sorted(d.items(), key=lambda t: t[0]))
OrderedDict([('apple', 4), ('banana', 3), ('orange', 2), ('pear', 1)])
>>> # dictionary sorted by value
>>> OrderedDict(sorted(d.items(), key=lambda t: t[1]))
OrderedDict([('pear', 1), ('orange', 2), ('banana', 3), ('apple', 4)])
>>> # dictionary sorted by length of the key string
>>> OrderedDict(sorted(d.items(), key=lambda t: len(t[0])))
OrderedDict([('pear', 1), ('apple', 4), ('orange', 2), ('banana', 3)])
The new sorted dictionaries maintain their sort order when entries are deleted. But when new keys are added, the keys are appended to the end and the sort is not maintained.
It is also straight-forward to create an ordered dictionary variant that the remembers the order the keys were last inserted. If a new entry overwrites an existing entry, the original insertion position is changed and moved to the end:
class LastUpdatedOrderedDict(OrderedDict):
'Store items in the order the keys were last added'
def __setitem__(self, key, value):
if key in self:
del self[key]
OrderedDict.__setitem__(self, key, value)
An ordered dictionary can combined with the Counter class so that the counter remembers the order elements are first encountered:
class OrderedCounter(Counter, OrderedDict):
'Counter that remembers the order elements are first encountered'
def __init__(self, iterable=None, **kwds):
Counter.__init__(self, iterable, **kwds)
def __repr__(self):
return '%s(%r)' % (self.__class__.__name__, OrderedDict(self))
def __reduce__(self):
return self.__class__, (OrderedDict(self),)
The class, UserDict acts as a wrapper around dictionary objects. The need for this class has been partially supplanted by the ability to subclass directly from dict; however, this class can be easier to work with because the underlying dictionary is accessible as an attribute.
Class that simulates a dictionary. The instance's contents are kept in a regular dictionary, which is accessible via the data attribute of UserDict instances. If initialdata is provided, data is initialized with its contents; note that a reference to initialdata will not be kept, allowing it be used for other purposes.
In addition to supporting the methods and operations of mappings, UserDict instances provide the following attribute:
This class acts as a wrapper around list objects. It is a useful base class for your own list-like classes which can inherit from them and override existing methods or add new ones. In this way, one can add new behaviors to lists.

Class that simulates a list. The instance's contents are kept in a regular list, which is accessible via the data attribute of UserList instances. The instance's contents are initially set to a copy of list, defaulting to the empty list []. list can be any iterable, for example a real Python list or a UserList object.
In addition to supporting the methods and operations of mutable sequences, UserList instances provide the following attribute:
Subclassing requirements: Subclasses of UserList are expect to offer a constructor which can be called with either no arguments or one argument. List operations which return a new sequence attempt to create an instance of the actual implementation class. To do so, it assumes that the constructor can be called with a single parameter, which is a sequence object used as a data source.
If a derived class does not wish to comply with this requirement, all of the special methods supported by this class will need to be overridden; please consult the sources for information about the methods which need to be provided in that case.
The class, UserString acts as a wrapper around string objects. The need for this class has been partially supplanted by the ability to subclass directly from str; however, this class can be easier to work with because the underlying string is accessible as an attribute.

These ABCs allow us to ask classes or instances if they provide particular functionality, for example:
size = None
if isinstance(myvar, collections.Sized):
size = len(myvar)
Several of the ABCs are also useful as mixins that make it easier to develop classes supporting container APIs. For example, to write a class supporting the full Set API, it only necessary to supply the three underlying abstract methods: __contains__(), __iter__(), and __len__(). The ABC supplies the remaining methods such as __and__() and isdisjoint()
class ListBasedSet(collections.Set):
''' Alternate set implementation favoring space over speed
and not requiring the set elements to be hashable. '''
def __init__(self, iterable):
self.elements = lst = []
for value in iterable:
if value not in lst:
def __iter__(self):
return iter(self.elements)
def __contains__(self, value):
return value in self.elements
def __len__(self):
return len(self.elements)
s1 = ListBasedSet('abcdef')
s2 = ListBasedSet('defghi')
overlap = s1 & s2 # The __and__() method is supported automatically

Dozens of NGOs resist new Russian law
MOSCOW (AP) — Dozens of non-governmental organizations operating in Russia are refusing to comply with a new law restricting their activities as part of the Kremlin's crackdown on its critics.
The law, passed several months ago, obliged all NGOs that receive foreign funding and are involved in loosely defined political activities to register as "foreign agents" by Wednesday.
But Oleg Orlov, head of the prominent Memorial rights group, said his organization and dozens of other NGOs are boycotting the law because it would damage their credibility in Russia, where the word 'foreign agent' is synonymous to spy.
"By using this law the authorities are trying to brand us as foreign agents — this phrase has a particularly negative connotation in Russian," Orlov said.
Among those refusing to comply with the new law are the Moscow Helsinki Group, a leading rights watchdog; Golos, Russia's only independent vote monitoring group; Agora, a prominent lawyers' association; and scores of others.
Failure to comply with the law carries hefty fines and the suspension of the NGO's license. But even if NGOs comply, their existence remains under threat: The law gives authorities the right to carry out continuous audits, which will virtually paralyze the activities of any organization, Orlov said.
President Vladimir Putin defended the new law on NGOs as necessary protection against foreign meddling in Russian political affairs. But Russian NGO leaders said they have to tap foreign funds because local business is simply afraid of bankrolling Kremlin critics.
On the eve of the law coming into force, state-owned Channel One aired a report blasting American non-profit foundations of bankrolling last winter's anti-Putin rallies in Russia. Putin earlier accused the United States of fomenting the anti-government protests as a means of weakening the country.
Some foreign-funded NGOs are already feeling a popular backlash stemming from the new law.
When Memorial staff arrived at their building in central Moscow Wednesday, they found the slogan "Foreign Agent (Heart) USA" spray-painted on its facade. Elsewhere in Moscow, a pro-Kremlin youth group picketed outside the Russian office of Transparency International, with a banner calling on Transparency "to emerge from the shadows."

Remember when I said I was going to upload a tutorial on a character from The Chronicles of Narnia? Well, here it is. I have been asked by so many members and visitors to do a tutorial on "how to draw Aslan", step by step. I mean, I really couldn't tell you why I have never drew or uploaded a lesson on Aslan especially knowing how he is one of the main figures in the Narnia series. Now as it goes, Aslan is said to be the first known creature that lives in Narnia. But even though he lives in Narnia, Aslan is actually from a place called Aslan's Country. He is also known as the Emperor Over the Sea's son. I decided to draw this righteous lion from the side view because that is how I remember his face when I first seen Chronicles of Narnia. He is a mighty soul that is noble, wise, and full of power to a point where he could potentially dangerous. He really isn't going to be that hard to draw because I didn't sketch out a realistic version of him. Instead, I chose to create a drawing that looks very much like a poster image. Overall you should enjoy learning "how to draw Aslan" because who wouldn't want to make their own creation of the most powerful animal in all of Narnia. Peace out people, and have an awesome drawing day.

A man was shot and injured in an alleged robbery in Wesley at about 1 a.m. Tuesday.
Reports are that the gunman broke into the victim's house, and during a struggle, the victim was shot in the stomach. He is now a patient at the Princess Margaret Hospital.
The victim, who is about 40-50 years old, lives alone.
One man has been held for questioning in relation to the incident.
Magistrate Tiyani Behanzin is planning to hold a peace conference in Wesley on Sunday, Jan. 23 at the Wesley Catholic Church. Behanzin said there is an increase in crime in the village.
This is the second shooting in less than a month.
In December 2010, Vaughn Dodds was shot multiple times. The shooting occurred from a vehicle. Dodds is still a patient at the hospital.
Twenty-three-year-old Lee Anthony of Morne Rachette has been charged with attempted murder and shooting with intent to cause grievous bodily harm to Dodds .
Anthony is currently remanded at the Dominica State Prison.
In late December, a 22-year old woman of Wesley was remanded into custody after being charged for the attempted murder of her cousin. Muriel Thomas allegedly stabbed Rosemund Cheryl Thomas with a knife in her neck during a dispute.

On the fortieth anniversary of the opening of Vatican II, two distinguished Jesuit theologians looked back on the council and reflected on what really happened. John W. O'Malley argues in "The Style of Vatican II" that "Vatican II cannot be interpreted in a minimal sense. Vatican II is in need of further implementation especially in its greatest achievement, a redefinition of the way the church operates, does business."
Cardinal Dulles took a different tack in "Vatican II: Myth and Reality." In a list of common misinterpretations of the Councl, ne hotes the view that "God continues to reveal himself in secular experience through the signs of the times, which therefore provide criteria for interpreting the Gospel." In fact Vatican II taught that "revelation became complete in Jesus Christ and that no further public revelation is to be expected before the end of time, when Christ returns in glory."

Welcome Back
Thank you for your patience while I gave my hands and brain a blog rest. It gave me some thinking time and now I'm back in love with the blog and bursting with ideas. Its amazing how many ideas that came to me, while I wasn't actively searching for them, they just flowed. I guess stopping to smell the proverbial roses from time to time is a good idea.
Budgets being what they are for us all, there aren't the funds for lots of new stuff, so I have started a new challenge I'm calling Stash Dive. This isn't a new concept on the internet or blogland I know, but its new to me.
The idea behind stash diving is; that I'll have a rummage through my stash and make myself a kit, a bundle of items that I want to use to inspire me to create that month. We are all guilty of rushing at the latest thing and forgetting how much wonderful stuff we have, just waiting for us in the cupboard.
Here's my stash dive for September
Ok bit of a confession, in that the book is new (break your own rules much!) but I took online classes AGES ago with Julie Prichard and gathered a lot of materials that have been neglecting, so a nose through the book will re-inspire me. I also want to give art journalling another go, for too long I've been over-thinking it and its put me off. So I took some watercolour paper cut it to a comfortable size, not too big to be intimidating, single sheets so if I hate a result it doesn't have to go in the final book.
This art journal will give me somewhere to do what I love, make backgrounds, I LOVE making backgrounds and experimenting with colour, so I'll share my progress with you here. It will be so good to get back to paint, colour and paper, fingers crossed the hands will let me play, even if its only for short periods.
Chronic pain sucks and is so tiring you don't have head space to be creative. I've put together a happy box, books and magazines to enjoy when I get stuck in days/weeks/months of pain with no use of hands so I can still be inspired. If you too suffer one of those conditions that leave you stuck in all sences of the word, make life a little ligher by gathering some of your favorite items, things to keep you entertained and give you something other than the pain to think about. It might not ease the pain but it sure stops your head getting quite so sad about it all.
I'm making the most of any opportunity my body gives me to create and enjoy the wonderful materials I have before the cold weather kicks off.
Art Journalling
Have you always wanted to art journal too? Check out the tutorial I wrote last year for tips on making your own journal and we can play along together on the stash dive.
- Billie's Book Ties
- Choosing Card/Paper for your Art Journal Choosing the surface that will work best for your art journal.
- My Art Journalling kit Here are all my essential items for art journalling.
Remember keep it simple, it only needs a few sheets of your favorite paper, borrow the hole punch before the kids go back to school with it, and punch the pages. If you haven't got book rings you can always use ribbon or string to tie the pages together. Now you can take a page out to work on it without fear of damaging the other pages around it. Have fun, I'd love to see your journals and lets see what painty, inky, fun we can get up too.
Hope you all had a wonderful summer and look forward to seeing and hearing what you have all been up too as well.
Best wishes and thanks for reading, see you soon
Billie 🙂
