''We're the community club of the A-League and while David has a worldwide brand, part of his success has been that he's a down-to-earth guy who is very family conscious. That's what our club is about and David would be a perfect fit for us, which is why we're going to make a very strong bid.''

''If we were to be approached, we would go through the normal process that we do with everyone that's put across our table, which is assessing them by our football department, assessment by the board from a financial perspective. We've had no approaches at all and we don't speculate on those things until they come across our table.''

''We as a club would be mad not to seriously consider David Beckham. Perth is a great city and is up there with every city in the world in attracting anyone to come visit. He's got young kids as well, and it's close to Asia … Perth offers lots to people in relation to coming here, not just about if the money is right.''

''Once David Beckham ends his season with LA Galaxy the race is on. We don't want to cause any dramas for him or his club right now, we respect the position he is in, but we're serious at getting one of the world's best-known footballers to Adelaide United. We are positioning ourselves to give us the best possible chance.''

Celtic

''I asked my man David about Celtic and he was like, 'Yeah, teams don't come much bigger'. I would try and sign him up for a season but he is pretty happy over here. LA is home for him and his family now - but I would have to at least make that offer to my boy. We have lunch when we can, so next time, you know, I am going to speak to him about it. Never say never.''

- American rapper Snoop Dogg, who is considering a bid to buy the Scottish giants

Paris Saint-Germain

Tipped as a potential suitor for David Beckham after being taken over by the Qatari royal family, Paris Saint-Germain has long had its eyes on Beckham and might now get their chance. A deal fell through last season at the final hurdle and talks are sure to take place again about a move to the French capital.

Shanghai Shenhua

After landing two of the biggest stars now playing in Chinese football, Didier Drogba and Nicolas Anelka, it's impossible to rule out their owners bidding at football's most iconic name. The Beckham ''brand'' could be explosive in China, where he would easily be among the league's top players. The British press has tipped Shanghai as a big chance.

Russia

Cashed-up Russian clubs are nothing new but never have they landed a player with the pulling power of Beckham. Dagestan billionaire Suleyman Kerimov has already lured Guus Hiddink and Samuel Eto'o to FC Anzhi Makhachkala and would most likely be able to offer the highest wages of any potential suitor.

England

Having trained with Tottenham only last season, Spurs loom to be the most obvious option in his home country. He was also a youth player there and signing with the club would allow Beckham to end his career in his own city. He has never played professionally in London.

Italy

A loan stint with AC Milan saw Beckham quickly embraced by that club's fans and there's little doubt he and his family would welcome a move back to the San Siro. The Italian league has always been kinder to older players, with many playing until they reach 40, even at top clubs.

Elsewhere?

Beckham was linked strongly with a move to Brazil last year but it is thought their clubs would be something of a long shot this time around, even if they keep getting mentioned. A move to the Middle East would be profitable for the family but is unlikely to do much for his marketing image, which remains paramount to his overall value.

## Lesson: Understanding Hemorrhoids and Calcium Absorption
### Section 1: Hemorrhoids
Hemorrhoids are swollen veins in the anus or lower rectum. They can cause pain, itching, and bleeding. There are several ways to treat hemorrhoids, including lifestyle changes, over-the-counter medications, and prescription creams or suppositories. In this lesson, we will focus on Anusol Plus Suppositories, which contain Pramoxine and Zinc Sulfate Monohydrate. These ingredients help to relieve the pain and itching caused by hemorrhoids.
### Section 2: Calcium Absorption
Calcium is an essential mineral for strong bones and teeth. However, calcium needs vitamin D to be absorbed properly by the body. Vitamin D helps the intestines absorb calcium from the food we eat. Without enough vitamin D, the body cannot absorb calcium effectively.
### Section 3: Practical Examples
Let's say you have a calcium deficiency and need to take a calcium supplement. To ensure that your body can absorb the calcium, you should also take a vitamin D supplement. This way, the vitamin D will help your body absorb the calcium from the supplement.

I think I've said the "confidence is the most essential tool for passing" speech a few times before in comments and replies to individual people. But I believe so strongly in this concept, that I really wanted it to be said in canon.

Story time: When I first started out, I was clocked by everyone immediately. Even if I managed to be in someone's presence passing for a couple minutes, it never lasted. See, I was ecstatic to be dressing the way I was, but my body language was telling the world around me that I was uncomfortable because no matter how much I wanted it, it was still strange and different to me. The fear of being unable to pass was ingrained in me and made me feel vulnerable.

And as a result, I stared at the floor so no one could see my face. My movements were stiff as a board. My voice was especially shaky and overdone. Whether they consciously realized it or not, people picked up on that. From there, some people intentionally gawked because they wanted to know what I was hiding. Some people probably meant well, seeing I was feeling off and trying to figure out how to help. And some people started feeling guilty because they'd think they were making me uncomfortable, only for me to unwittingly out myself by insisting they did nothing wrong. The whole thing was a mess. I sucked at passing.

In recent years, I've gotten better about my presentation, which made me more confident, which allowed me to pass better... which made me more confident... which made me better about my presentation. It's an nifty little cycle. By now, my movements are very fluid and natural, my voice is pretty good (in short stints), and I present myself like I've got nothing to hide, because I don't believe I do have anything to hide. And after all that, I choose to be visible anyway - which for me is empowering and raises my confidence all the more (because I feel like I have more control over my identity).

For what it's worth, I'm still a shy, awkward person, with social anxiety, low self-esteem, and a somewhat debilitating fear of crowds. But despite all this, I have confidence in WHO I am. I can always say to myself, "I know who I am. I'm a woman. I'm Jocelyn. No one can take that away from me." My general fears and anxiety and awkwardness remain, but at least I know I'm a woman. And when I came to the point where I started knowing I'm a woman - rather than hoping people see me as a woman - I began passing better and more frequently.

Everything else (hair, face, body, voice, etc) is less important than simply believing in yourself. I know how campy that sounds, but I so strongly believe this to be true.

So, getting back to Rain, Emily's point is very valid. Rain is super uncomfortable with her appearance, and it's apparent to everyone that she's uncomfortable. She's getting quiet/agitated when people criticize. She's hesitant to accept compliments. She's showing no pride for her look (which, who can blame her? But it makes everything seem all the more questionable).

What Rain needs, more than anything right now, is something to build her confidence back up again. That'd go a long way to help her right now. Her friends and family supporting her is a good start. But what Rain really needs right now is for Rain to support Rain.

I've tried cosplaying or just plain dressing up, but it's usually still just me in a costume. And I am PAINFULLY shy. Then, a few years ago, for the first time, I wore a cosplay that covered my face. I was able to separate myself from that weird shy girl and was the super outgoing person that apparently a lot of people online seem to think I am...? The same thing happened when I started doing puppets for kids at church again. Or even this past year when all I did was put on a wig. I felt more at ease with the separation from my anxieties, and basically, with that confidence, everyone else approached me more easily and felt more convinced in my character.

Confidence in yourself creates confidence in others that what they see is yourself. Or something like that...? Don't quote me on that or anything.

And again it's Emily who explains what's going on. She's pretty smart and knowledgeable, isn't she? ^_^
On the other hand, wouldn't Rain have already read all that online? Not sure what year it is in-universe, but 21st century anyway, so it's easy to find if she'd looked for info online.
Of course, reading it and actually believing it are different things, as anyone who's been in that situation can tell you.

I guess listening to Emily would have make me look like everyone around the table : "I didn't think about it but that sound really true". And "how did you manage to find out that and put it into words so quickly."

By the way the main comment I wanted to say is : Rain is awesomely cute in the 4th panel.

in the past

i have confidence in myself now but earlier in life when i was expected to present as male instead of female i was seen as lacking in self-confidence. i think that was because i felt and thought of myself as female even then and i believed my femininity was showing despite my efforts to hide it.

end of message

October 22nd, 2015, 11:02 am

Thanks for this

I am currently at this exact stage in my transition, having just started dressing fully feminine last week. It's been great, but this morning I felt like no matter what I put on, I only saw a boy in the mirror. I went to work with no confidence in my appearance or myself as a woman. But this page, and your post in particular spoke directly to me. I think you're totally right about the confidence thing. I'm going to rally mine and take the day head on cause even cis girls have bad hair days right? So thank you :)

Hair decorations?

I know this comic is more about how she feels she looks than how the rest of the world actually sees her, and I recognize that how our hair looks plays a major part in how we all feel about ourselves, but I wonder if someone could point out to Rain that she is concentrating too much on just one aspect of her appearance.

I'm cis, but have always envied the many ways women can decorate themselves from nail polish to barrettes and hairbands to scarves to hats to jewelry and makeup. Does the school's dress code prohibit even flowery hair barrettes or a lacy hairband? Can she wear even a little mascara to make her eyes more feminine?

What about her eyebrows? Looking at faces on the bus one winter when everyone was so bundled up against the cold that no one's figure I started looking at all the beardless faces without makeup around me to see what made some people look male and others female. It was their eyebrows! No guys tweeze or shape their eyebrows, and all the women did.

Good comic. You've made Rain so real to me that I want to give advice to her!

Q:

How to tell a configure script to use my own toolchain

I want to compile a program for the xtensa lx106 architecture.
This architecture does not appear inside config.guess or config.sub. So doing ./configure --host xtensa or similar produce an error.
How can I tell configure to use a toolchain (gcc, ld etc) that is installed on some arbitrary location on the filesystem?

A:

Pass the CC, LD etc. variables on the configure command line usually does it:
./configure CC=x86_64-xtensa-linux-gnu-gcc LD=...

Or whatever tool you want to use.  See:
https://www.gnu.org/savannah-checkouts/gnu/autoconf/manual/autoconf-2.69/html_node/Compilers-and-Options.html

textbook:
Lesson: How to Compile Programs for Unknown Architectures

Introduction:
In this self-taught lesson, we will learn how to compile programs for unknown architectures using configure scripts. We will cover the following topics:

1. Understanding configure scripts
2. Specifying the target architecture
3. Passing variables to configure scripts
4. Using the resulting binary

Section 1: Understanding Configure Scripts

A configure script is a special type of shell script that is used to customize the compilation process of software. It is typically used to select options such as the target architecture, compiler, and other configuration options.

Section 2: Specifying the Target Architecture

To specify the target architecture, we need to modify the configure script to include the appropriate flags. For example, if we want to compile for the xtensa lx106 architecture, we would use the following flag:

./configure --target=xtensa-lx106

This flag tells the configure script that we want to compile for the xtensa lx106 architecture.

Section 3: Passing Variables to Configure Scripts

Sometimes, we may need to pass additional variables to the configure script. For example, we may want to specify the path to our custom toolchain. To do this, we can use the following flag:

./configure CC=path/to/my/toolchain/gcc LD=path/to/my/toolchain/ld

This flag tells the configure script to use the toolchain located at path/to/my/toolchain/gcc and path/to/my/toolchain/ld for compiling and linking, respectively.

Section 4: Using the Resulting Binary

Once the configure script has finished running, it will generate a Makefile that can be used to build the program. To do this, we simply run the following command:

make

This will build the program for the specified target architecture using our custom toolchain.

Glossary:
- Configure script: A special type of shell script used to customize the compilation process of software.
- Target architecture: The specific hardware platform that the program will be compiled for.
- Toolchain: A set of tools (such as compilers and linkers) that are used to build a program.

Conclusion:

In this lesson, we learned how to use configure scripts to compile programs for unknown architectures. By modifying the configure script and passing additional variables, we can specify the target architecture and use our own custom toolchain. This skill is useful for developers who work on multiple platforms or who need to customize their development environment.

LC-MALDI-TOF imaging MS: a new approach in combining chromatography and mass spectrometry of copolymers.
A new approach that utilizes MALDI-TOF imaging mass spectrometry as a new detector for polymer chromatography is presented. For the first time, the individual retention behavior of single structural units of polyethylene oxide (PEO)/polypropylene oxide (PPO) copolymers and changes of the copolymer composition could be monitored. Composition specific calibration curves could be easily obtained by displaying the copolymer ion intensity data. This approach provides completely new insights in the chromatographic principle of copolymer separation and could be used to easily modify and adapt conditions for separation. In combination with electrospray deposition, homogeneous sample/matrix traces of surprisingly high spatial resolution could be obtained.

textbook:
Title: LC-MALDI-TOF Imaging MS: A New Approach in Combining Chromatography and Mass Spectrometry of Copolymers

Level: High School

## Chapter 1: Introduction to LC-MALDI-TOF Imaging MS

In this lesson, we will learn about a new approach in combining chromatography and mass spectrometry of copolymers called LC-MALDI-TOF imaging MS. This technique is used to study the individual retention behavior of single structural units of polyethylene oxide (PEO)/polypropylene oxide (PPO) copolymers and changes in the copolymer composition. We will discuss the benefits of this approach and how it can be used to modify and adapt conditions for separation.

## Chapter 2: What is LC-MALDI-TOF Imaging MS?

LC-MALDI-TOF imaging MS is a technique that combines liquid chromatography (LC) and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry (MS). It is used to analyze complex mixtures of compounds, such as copolymers, by separating them based on their molecular weight and structure.

## Chapter 3: How does LC-MALDI-TOF Imaging MS work?

LC-MALDI-TOF imaging MS works by first separating the copolymers using liquid chromatography. The separated copolymers are then analyzed using MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry, which measures the mass-to-charge ratio of the ions. By analyzing the mass spectrum, we can determine the individual retention behavior of single structural units of the copolymers and changes in the copolymer composition.

## Chapter 4: Benefits of LC-MALDI-TOF Imaging MS

The benefits of LC-MALDI-TOF imaging MS include:

1. Ability to monitor the individual retention behavior of single structural units of copolymers.
2. Easy obtainment of composition-specific calibration curves by displaying the copolymer ion intensity data.
3. Provides new insights into the chromatographic principle of copolymer separation.
4. Can be used to modify and adapt conditions for separation.
5. Allows for homogeneous sample/matrix traces of surprisingly high spatial resolution when combined with electrospray deposition.

## Chapter 5: Applications of LC-MALDI-TOF Imaging MS

LC-MALDI-TOF imaging MS has several applications, including:

1. Studying the individual retention behavior of single structural units of copolymers.
2. Monitoring changes in the copolymer composition.
3. Obtaining composition-specific calibration curves.
4. Modifying and adapting conditions for separation.
5. Analyzing homogeneous sample/matrix traces of surprisingly high spatial resolution when combined with electrospray deposition.

## Chapter 6: Conclusion

In conclusion, LC-MALDI-TOF imaging MS is a powerful technique that provides new insights into the chromatographic principle of copolymer separation and can be used to modify and adapt conditions for separation. By combining LC with MALDI-TOF imaging MS, we can easily monitor the individual retention behavior of single structural units of polyethylene oxide (PEO)/polypropylene oxide (PPO) copolymers and changes of the copolymer composition. This approach has several applications, including studying the individual retention behavior of single structural units of copolymers, monitoring changes in the copolymer composition, obtaining composition-specific calibration curves, modifying and adapting conditions for separation, and analyzing homogeneous sample/matrix traces of surprisingly high spatial resolution when combined with electrospray deposition.

text: I posted long ago that this school year would be different than previous years as my youngest two are now very competent readers and capable of much more independent work. This has proved true.. I am most pleased with the progress they have made on their Scripture Journals. We have also jumped into The Life of Fred Math curriculum hoping to add some joy to this dreaded subject. Our history spirals have worked out wonderfully this year as well.. One area that I am not particularly happy with is read-aloud time. There is far less of that now that they are reading so much independently.. Thanks for visiting our blog.

text: This is a metaphor that Zoe Leanza used to make my life feel better.. In high school, each of us were popcorn on black carpet (this prompted by my intense need to vacuum my room). Pretty darn astounding and attention-grabbing.. Here, at Mac, we are popcorn in a bowl of popcorn. No wonder we feel average, sometimes mediocre.. But I say that being a kernel of popcorn in a bowl doesn't necessarily make that kernel less valuable. I also say that all my kernel needs is a little extra butter to make it stand out. And I get there day by day.

textbook:
**Lesson:** Being Unique and Valuable

**Introduction:**
In this lesson, we will learn about the importance of being unique and valuable in our own way. We will explore the metaphors used by Zoe Leanza to describe high school students and how they can relate to us. We will also learn how to stand out and make a difference in our own unique way.

**Section 1: Understanding the Metaphors**
The first step in understanding the metaphors used by Zoe Leanza is to break them down. In high school, each of us were popcorn on black carpet. This means that we were just like any other student, not standing out in any way. However, at Mac, we are popcorn in a bowl of popcorn. This means that we are part of a larger community and we need to find our own unique way to stand out.

**Questions:**
- What do you think the metaphors mean?
- How do they relate to us?
- Why is it important to be unique and valuable?

**Answers:**
- The metaphors used by Zoe Leanza are meant to describe the feeling of being average and mediocre.
- They relate to us because we are also part of a larger community and we need to find our own way to stand out.
- It is important to be unique and valuable because everyone has something special to offer, and by standing out, we can make a difference in the world.

**Section 2: Finding Your Own Uniqueness**
Now that we understand the metaphors, we can start to explore how we can find our own uniqueness. One way to do this is to embrace our differences and use them to our advantage. For example, if you are good at math, you can use your skills to help others or solve complex problems. If you are creative, you can use your talents to create art or write stories that inspire others.

**Questions:**
- How can we find our own uniqueness?
- What are some ways to embrace our differences?
- How can we use our talents to make a difference in the world?

**Answers:**
- We can find our own uniqueness by embracing our differences and using our talents to our advantage.
- Some ways to embrace our differences include celebrating cultural holidays, learning about other cultures, and sharing our own experiences with others.
- We can use our talents to make a difference in the world by volunteering, starting a business, or creating art that inspires others.

**Section 3: Practical Examples**
Let's take a closer look at some practical examples of how we can use our uniqueness to make a difference in the world. For example, if you are good at science, you can use your knowledge to invent new technologies that make people's lives easier. If you are good at writing, you can use your skills to write articles or books that inspire others to take action on important issues.

**Questions:**
- What are some practical examples of using our uniqueness to make a difference in the world?
- How can we apply these examples to our own lives?
- What are some potential challenges we may face when trying to stand out?

**Answers:**
- Some practical examples of using our uniqueness to make a difference in the world include using our talents to invent new technologies, write articles or books, and volunteer our time to help others.
- We can apply these examples to our own lives by identifying our own unique talents and finding ways to use them to make a difference.
- Some potential challenges we may face when trying to stand out include feeling self-conscious or afraid of failure. However, by taking small steps and building our confidence over time, we can overcome these challenges.

**Conclusion:**
In conclusion, we have learned about the importance of being unique and valuable in our own way. By embracing our differences and using our talents to our advantage, we can make a difference in the world. We have also explored practical examples of how we can apply this concept to our own lives. By taking small steps and building our confidence over time, we can overcome any challenges we may face when trying to stand out.

Lesson: Understanding Political Power Dynamics

**Introduction:** In this lesson, we will explore the dynamics of political power and how it plays out in real-world scenarios. We will analyze the factors that contribute to the rise and fall of political leaders and the strategies they use to maintain their power.

**Section 1: Understanding Political Power**

Political power refers to the ability of individuals or groups to influence decision-making processes within a society. It can be exercised through various means such as voting, lobbying, protests, and media coverage. Political power is often concentrated in the hands of a few individuals or groups, who use it to shape public policies and institutions.

**Section 2: The Rise and Fall of Political Leaders**

The rise and fall of political leaders are influenced by several factors, including their charisma, leadership style, communication skills, and ability to connect with voters. However, even the most powerful leaders can lose their grip on power due to internal conflicts, external pressures, or their own mistakes.

**Section 3: Strategies for Maintaining Political Power**

Political leaders use various strategies to maintain their power, including controlling the media, manipulating public opinion, forming alliances with powerful groups, and using legal and extra-legal means to suppress opposition. They also rely on their ability to deliver on their promises and maintain a positive image.

**Section 4: The Role of Media in Political Power**

The media plays a crucial role in shaping public opinion and influencing political power dynamics. Political leaders use the media to promote their agenda, attack opponents, and distract from controversies. The media also has the power to shape public perceptions of political leaders and events.

Lesson: Introduction to Cybersecurity

### Section 1: What is Cybersecurity?

**Introduction:** Cybersecurity is the practice of protecting computer systems, networks, and sensitive information from digital attacks, theft, and damage. As more and more personal and professional activities move online, the need for strong cybersecurity measures becomes increasingly important.

**Main Topic:** In this lesson, we will explore the basics of cybersecurity, including why it is important, common threats, and ways to protect yourself.

**Subtopic:** Why is Cybersecurity Important?

**Question:** Why is cybersecurity important?

**Answer:** Cybersecurity is important because it helps protect our personal information, financial data, and national security. Without strong cybersecurity measures, sensitive information can be stolen, damaged or destroyed by hackers or other malicious actors.

**Subtopic:** Common Threats

**Question:** What are some common cyber threats?

**Answer:** Some common cyber threats include viruses, worms, trojans, ransomware, phishing, and denial-of-service (DoS) attacks.

**Subtopic:** Ways to Protect Yourself

**Question:** How can you protect yourself from cyber threats?

**Answer:** There are several ways to protect yourself from cyber threats, including:

1. Using strong passwords and changing them regularly
2. Keeping your software and systems up-to-date with the latest security patches
3. Being cautious about clicking on links or downloading attachments in emails or messages
4. Using anti-virus software and firewalls
5. Backing up important data regularly

### Section 2: Unpredictability and Malware

**Introduction:** One interesting aspect of cybersecurity is the role that unpredictability can play in protecting against malware. In this section, we will explore how unpredictability can be used as a defense mechanism.

**Main Topic:** Unpredictability and Malware

**Subtopic:** How does unpredictability help protect against malware?

**Question:** How does unpredictability help protect against malware?

**Answer:** Unpredictability can help protect against malware by making it harder for attackers to know how to exploit vulnerabilities in software or systems. For example, if a piece of malware is designed to attack a specific type of system, an unpredictable system may behave differently each time it is run, making it harder for the malware to find a weakness to exploit.

**Subtopic:** Practical Example

**Question:** Can you give an example of how unpredictability can be used in cybersecurity?

**Answer:** One example of how unpredictability can be used in cybersecurity is through the use of decoy systems. These are fake systems that are set up to mimic real systems, but with intentional vulnerabilities that can be exploited by attackers. By doing this, attackers are lured away from the real system, making it harder for them to cause damage.

### Section 3: Self-Debating Discussion

**Introduction:** In this section, we will engage in a self-debating discussion about the role of unpredictability in cybersecurity.

**Main Topic:** Self-Debating Discussion

**Subtopic:** Pros and Cons of Unpredictability in Cybersecurity

**Question:** What are some pros and cons of using unpredictability in cybersecurity?

**Answer:** Some pros of using unpredictability in cybersecurity include that it can make it harder for attackers to know how to exploit vulnerabilities and can help lure them away from the real system. However, some cons include that unpredictable systems can be harder to debug and test, and may not always be effective against more sophisticated attackers.

**Conclusion:** In this lesson, we have explored the basics of cybersecurity, common threats, and ways to protect yourself. We have also discussed how unpredictability can be used as a defense mechanism and engaged in a self-debating discussion about its pros and cons. By understanding these concepts, we can better protect ourselves and our systems from digital attacks, theft, and damage.

To add scale, you could hang a large piece of artwork above the sofa. Finally, to incorporate texture, you could add a soft rug and a few plush throw pillows.

Glossary:
- Balance: The even distribution of visual weight in a room.
- Proportion: The size and scale of objects and furniture in relation to each other and the space they occupy.
- Scale: The size and proportion of objects and furniture in relation to the human body.
- Color: The use of hues, shades, and tints to create a mood, atmosphere, and visual interest.
- Texture: The physical characteristics of materials such as their surface quality, roughness, and appearance.
- Lighting: The use of natural and artificial light to enhance the visual appearance of a space.
- Space planning: The process of determining the placement and arrangement of furniture and objects within a room.

Conclusion:
Interior design is a fascinating field that involves creating beautiful and functional spaces. By understanding and applying the principles of interior design, you too can create a space that is both aesthetically pleasing and practical.

Q:

loop backwards using django template

I have a list of objects and I am trying to display them all (and so I am using the django {% for %} {% endfor %}) However, I need to iterate through each object backwards one at a time, rather than forwards. I've looked at https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/templates/builtins/#for but I couldn't really figure out how I can use it to loop backwards. I was wondering how to do this and if it is even possible. Below is a simple example of how I currently have it implemented (iterating forward):
...
{% for i in scheduling_info %}
    <pre>{{ i.log }}</pre>
{% endfor %}
...

Thanks!

Lesson:

**Looping Through a List Backwards in Python**

**Objective:** In this lesson, we will learn how to loop through a list backwards in Python. We will cover the following topics:

1. Why loop backwards?
2. How to loop backwards using Python's `reversed()` function
3. Example code
4. Practice exercises

**Why loop backwards?**

Sometimes, we may need to loop through a list in reverse order. This is useful when we want to print out the elements of the list in descending order or when we are implementing an algorithm that requires traversing the list in reverse order.

**How to loop backwards using Python's `reversed()` function**

Python provides a built-in `reversed()` function that can be used to loop through a list in reverse order. This function takes an iterable as an argument and returns an iterator that iterates over the elements of the list in reverse order.

Here's how you can use the `reversed()` function to loop through a list in reverse order:

```python
lst = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

for elem in reversed(lst):
    print(elem)
```

In the above example, we first create a list `lst` containing the numbers 1 to 5. Then, we loop through the list using the `reversed()` function. The `for` loop iterates over the elements of the `reversed()` iterator, which gives us the elements of the list in reverse order. Finally, we print out each element as it is looped through.

**Example code**

Let's consider an example where we want to loop through a list of names in reverse order and print out their surnames. Here's the code:

```python
names = ['John', 'Jane', 'Bob', 'Alice', 'Tom']

for name in reversed(names):
    last_name = name.split()[-1]
    print(last_name)
```

In the above code, we first create a list `names` containing the names of some people. Then, we loop through the list using the `reversed()` function. Inside the loop, we split the current name into words using the `split()` method and take the last word as the surname. Finally, we print out the surname of each person.

**Practice exercises**

1. Create a list `lst` containing the numbers 6 to 10. Loop through the list in reverse order and print out each element.
2. Create a list `names` containing the names of some famous scientists. Loop through the list in reverse order and print out their last names.
3. Create a list `words` containing some English words. Loop through the list in reverse order and print out the words that start with the letter 'a'.

**Conclusion**

In this lesson, we learned how to loop through a list in reverse order using Python's `reversed()` function. We covered the basics of how to use this function and provided some practice exercises to help reinforce the concept. By the end of this lesson, you should be able to loop through a list in reverse order with ease.

According to an article from MuscleMagFitness.com, lifting too heavy weight can quickly lead to improper form and injury.. Instead, choose an appropriate weight that you can properly control while maintaining proper form for a full set of reps. Once that gets too easy, add more weight gradually..

textbook:
**Lesson: Proper Weight Lifting Technique**

## Introduction
Proper weight lifting technique is essential to prevent injuries and maximize the benefits of your workout. In this lesson, we will learn about the importance of using appropriate weights, maintaining proper form, and progressively increasing the weight to achieve your fitness goals.

## Section 1: Why Proper Weight Lifting Technique is Important?
Using the right weight and maintaining proper form during your workout is crucial for several reasons:

1. Safety: Lifting too heavy weight can lead to injury, especially if you don't have proper control over the weight. This can cause strain on your muscles, joints, and ligaments, which can result in pain and long-term damage.

2. Efficiency: When you use the right weight and maintain proper form, you can work out your muscles effectively and efficiently. This means that you'll see better results in less time, as you'll be targeting the right muscle groups with the correct amount of resistance.

3. Progression: By starting with an appropriate weight and gradually increasing it, you can track your progress and see improvements in your strength and endurance over time. This also helps prevent plateaus, where you stop seeing results because the weight you're lifting has become too easy for your body.

## Section 2: How to Choose the Right Weight
Choosing the right weight for your workout depends on several factors, including your fitness level, the specific exercise you're doing, and your personal goals. Here are some tips to help you choose the appropriate weight:

1. Warm up: Before starting your workout, take a few minutes to warm up your muscles by doing some light cardio or dynamic stretching. This will help prevent injuries and improve your overall performance.

2. Start with lighter weights: When you're just starting out, it's best to start with lighter weights that you can properly control while maintaining proper form for a full set of reps. This will help you build strength and endurance before adding more weight.

3. Gradually increase weight: Once you've mastered the lighter weights, you can start adding more weight gradually. Be sure to increase the weight by no more than 5% at a time, and only do so when you're confident that you can still maintain proper form.

4. Listen to your body: Pay attention to how your body feels during your workout. If you feel pain or discomfort, it's a sign that you're lifting too much weight or that you need to take a break. Always listen to your body and adjust your workout accordingly.

## Section 3: Examples of Proper Weight Lifting Technique
Here are some examples of proper weight lifting technique for different exercises:

1. Squats: Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, toes slightly turned out. Keep your chest up and back straight, and lower your hips as if sitting down in a chair. Push through your heels to stand back up, keeping your weight balanced evenly through your feet.

2. Deadlifts: Stand with feet hip-width apart, holding the barbell with an overhand grip. Hinge forward at the hips, keeping your back straight, and lower the bar to the floor. Push through your heels to stand up, lifting the weight.

3. Bench press: Lie face up on a bench, holding the barbell over your chest with your arms extended. Lower the bar to your chest, then push it up again until your arms are fully extended. Make sure to keep your wrists straight and your elbows close to your body throughout the movement.

## Glossary
- Proper form: The correct technique for performing an exercise, which involves using the correct muscles, posture, and movements to avoid injury and maximize effectiveness.
- Plateaus: A point in your fitness journey where you stop seeing progress due to the weight you're lifting becoming too easy for your body.
- Warm up: A pre-workout routine that involves light cardio or dynamic stretching to prepare your muscles for exercise.

## Conclusion
By following the guidelines outlined in this lesson, you can improve your weight lifting technique, prevent injuries, and achieve your fitness goals more effectively. Remember to listen to your body, progress gradually, and maintain proper form throughout your workouts. With practice and patience, you'll see improvements in your strength and endurance, and be able to apply these skills to new challenges.

How pass my file store on the desktop in my pc?
thank you

A:

SQL statements can't access files outside of the database manager.  To load data in an XML file and write it to a table, you'd either need to use a database utility (like LOAD or IMPORT), or write your own program to read the data from files on the client machine (i.e., your PC) and perform the inserts.

textbook:
Title: Loading Data from an XML File into a Table

Overview: In this lesson, we will learn how to load data from an XML file into a table using SQL. We will cover the basics of XMLTable and its usage in DB2. We will also discuss the steps involved in loading data from an XML file and writing it to a table.

Prerequisites: Basic knowledge of SQL and XML.

Section 1: Introduction

In this lesson, we will learn how to load data from an XML file into a table using SQL. We will cover the basics of XMLTable and its usage in DB2. We will also discuss the steps involved in loading data from an XML file and writing it to a table.

Section 2: XMLTable Basics

XMLTable is a built-in function in DB2 that allows us to process XML data directly in SQL queries. It can be used to extract data from an XML document or to insert data into an XML document.

Here are some basic concepts related to XMLTable:

- XMLTable takes two arguments: the first argument is the XML document to be processed, and the second argument specifies the XPath expression that defines the structure of the XML document.

- XMLTable supports several functions such as PATH, ELEMENTS, ATTRIBUTES, and VALUES. These functions allow us to extract data from the XML document based on the XPath expression.

- XMLTable can be used to perform various operations such as filtering, sorting, and aggregating data.

Section 3: Loading Data from an XML File

To load data from an XML file and write it to a table, we need to follow these steps:

1. Create a table to store the data.
2. Read the XML file and parse it using XMLTable.
3. Insert the parsed data into the table.

Here's an example of how to load data from an XML file using XMLTable:

```sql
-- Create a table to store the data
CREATE TABLE xml_data (id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, name VARCHAR(50), T XML);

-- Read the XML file and parse it using XMLTable
INSERT INTO xml_data (name, T)
SELECT  x.name,
        XMLTable('$.product'
            PASSING CAST(? AS XML) AS "i"
            COLUMNS
                name VARCHAR(10) PATH 'name'
        ) as x
FROM OPENROWSET(BULK 'C:\myfile.xml', SINGLE_BLOB) AS blob
    CREDENTIALS (IDENTIFIER='myuser', SECRET='mypassword');
```

In this example, we first create a table called `xml_data` with columns for `id`, `name`, and `T` (which will hold the XML data). Then, we use the `OPENROWSET` function to read the XML file and parse it using XMLTable. Finally, we insert the parsed data into the `xml_data` table.

Section 4: Conclusion

In this lesson, we learned how to load data from an XML file into a table using SQL. We covered the basics of XMLTable and its usage in DB2, and discussed the steps involved in loading data from an XML file and writing it to a table. We also provided an example of how to load data from an XML file using XMLTable.

Glossary:

- XMLTable: A built-in function in DB2 that allows us to process XML data directly in SQL queries.
- XPath: A language for navigating through XML documents.
- OPENROWSET: A function in DB2 that allows us to read data from external sources such as files or other databases.
- BULK: An option in OPENROWSET that allows us to read data from a file in bulk mode.
- SINGLE_BLOB: An option in OPENROWSET that specifies that the file should be treated as a single BLOB (binary large object).
- CREDENTIALS: A function in DB2 that allows us to specify credentials for accessing external data sources.

Lesson: Introduction to Photography

## Section 1: Theoretical Concepts
In this lesson, we will learn about the basics of photography. Photography is the art and science of creating images using light and other electromagnetic radiation, either electronically or chemically on light-sensitive materials. It is a form of visual communication that allows us to capture moments in time and share them with others.

## Section 2: Practical Examples
Let's take a look at some examples of photography. In the image below, you can see a beautiful landscape photo taken by a photographer named Dennis Wister. This photo was taken in Modesto, California, and shows a stunning view of the mountains.

[Image: Mountains in Modesto, California]

In this next photo, you can see a close-up shot of a flower. This type of photography is called macro photography, which involves taking very detailed and close-up shots of small objects or subjects.

[Image: Close-up of a flower]

Finally, let's look at another photo taken by Dennis Wister. This one is a black and white photo that showcases the beauty of simplicity.

[Image: Black and white photo of a simple object]

## Section 3: Real-World Scenarios
Now that we have learned about the theoretical concepts and seen some practical examples, let's apply what we have learned to real-world scenarios. Imagine that you are a photographer who has been hired to take photos at a wedding. How would you use the principles of photography that we have learned about to capture the best shots possible?

First, you would need to understand the lighting situation and adjust your camera settings accordingly. You would also want to pay attention to the composition of each shot, making sure that the subjects are well-framed and that the background is not distracting. Additionally, you may want to use different lenses or angles to add variety to the shots and capture the emotion and energy of the event.

## Glossary
- Photography: The art and science of creating images using light and other electromagnetic radiation, either electronically or chemically on light-sensitive materials.
- Lighting: The amount of light that reaches a surface or object.
- Composition: The arrangement of elements in a photograph or other artwork.
