 his group was "alarmed" that the primates failed to discipline the wayward American church. He encouraged the primates to "set out a clear statement asserting that the actions of the Episcopal Church and the Anglican Church in Canada are beyond the bounds of Christian orthodoxy."
Archbishop Henry Orombi of Uganda, however, said Bible-centered Anglicans in the United States should take heart from the primates' communiqué. He says it creates a mechanism to ensure orthodox Americans remained unmolested in their worship and beliefs by the American church's liberal hierarchy. "We have moral obligation to those with whom we are in fellowship together," he said. "We will not abandon them as we are answerable for them before God."
Titus One Nine, a weblog run by orthodox Anglican theologian Kendall Harmon, has become the main hang-out for commentary on Episcopal-Anglican matters. Classical Anglican Net News and Midwest Conservative Journal are also Anglican-focused news weblogs with strong orthodox perspectives.
One of my writing teachers has a saying that the real marketing job for a writer is to write the next book. I guess I did my job. But wow.
Mind you, now that I’ve realized that, I’m already trying to figure out how to slip by a Barnes and Noble near work and look to see if SILVER SHIP is there tomorrow. So funny.
Maybe it’s also because the sun came out this afternoon. It hasn’t done that much this year. Us northwesterners get addled during the first few nice days of spring.

Avoiding tax within the bound of the law is totally different to doing cash jobs and skipping out on income tax and GST.

Also, large corporate bodies do face relatively high scrutiny as it is. In fact, the IRD does actively pursue companies whose practices fall within the letter of the law but outside the spirit of the law. Also, they very actively pursue cases where actions are straddling the line between avoidance and evasion (its just that stories about such court action is not too popular as the action itself takes a long time, and it is hard to write about and boring to read about, unless you are into it).Q: Find polygons that contain at least one of a list of Points in Python I have two datasets, one is the shape file of the french regions, and the second is a file containing points. I want to (efficiently) find the regions containing at least one point. 
When I print the two datasets i see 
I have tried to read the shape files with geopandas as follows
point_data = gpd.read_file(name_file) # I read the points 
regions = gpd.read_file('regions-20180101-shp/regions-20180101.shp')  # I read the regions 
reg.apply(lambda x: x.geometry.contains(point_data).any()) # I try to get the intersectons

I get an error. While if I simply try 
reg.geometry.contains(point_data) 
I get 
0     False
1     False
2     False
3     False
4     False
5     False
6     False
7     False
8     False
9     False
10    False
...

And I get the same results if I use within. Of course I can do it with for cycles but I would like to find a more efficient way.  

A: What you tried was almost correct. When applying a function to a GeoSeries, the function receives single shapely geometries, so in this case a single polygon. For that single polygon, we want to check if at least one of the points is within that polygon:
regions.apply(lambda x: points.within(x).any())

With as small reproducible example:
import geopandas
from shapely.geometry import Polygon, Point
regions = geopandas.GeoSeries([Polygon([(0,0), (0,1), (1,1), (1, 0)]), 
                               Polygon([(1,1), (1,2), (2,2), (2, 1)]),
                               Polygon([(1,0), (1,1), (2,1), (2, 0)])])
points = geopandas.GeoSeries([Point(0.5, 0.5), Point(0.2, 0.8), Point(1.2, 1.8)])

which looks like:

then applying the function looks like:
>>> regions.apply(lambda x: points.within(x).any())
0     True
1     True
2    False
dtype: bool

If regions and points would be GeoDataFrames instead of GeoSeries, you will need to add a.geometry in the above.

A: The problem seems to be given by the types being Points and not Polygons.
One way around I have found is to make the points as a polygon, and then study the intesection between polygons. In this case it works well, but this wont always give the correct answer. The code is 
g1 = point_data.geometry
g1 = [list(g.coords)[0] for g in g1]
p1 = polygon.Polygon(g1)
reg.apply(lambda x: x.geometry.intersects(p1),axis=1)

Once again this will only work if the polygons with contain at least one point are neighbors. 
Maybe I'm old or maybe I just gotta be 'that guy' but the most epic trailer award imo still goes to The Dark Knight trailer that premiered before I Am Legend way back in 2007. It was the first time we saw Ledger's Joker in action.  It wrapped with, "Let's put a smile on that face!" And I will tell you, it was all over after that.

That was the only trailer that wasn't influenced in any way by the tragedy of Ledger's death. It was pure Joker hype. I must have watched the thing a million times. 

Edit: Can't forget that Zimmer action. Like icing on the cake.Movies

California serves as a huge market for red light camera contractors. Red light cameras are operated not by the police, but by private companies. The cameras take a picture when a car enters an intersection during a red light. After reviewing the photo, the police then use this photo evidence to issue tickets to drivers. And with fines hitting almost $500, cities and towns that use the cameras to catch citizens who run red lights may be cashing in.
The city council of Menlo Park, California recently decided to extend its contract with RedFlex Traffic Systems for an already-existing four red light cameras and add a fifth red light camera at another intersection. Redlight cameras are now located at the intersections of El Camino Real and Glenwood Avenue, Bayfront Expressway and Willow Road, and El Camino Real and Ravenswood Avenue. The newest red light camera in Menlo Park is located at Bayfront Expressway and Chilco Street.
While many cities claim that they are not motivated by the money generated by the tickets issued—only safety—emails between the local police department in Menlo Park and RedFlex show that profit is at the top of many minds.
This same controversy is playing out across California and the country: Proponents of red light cameras argue that they increase safety at intersections by deterring drivers from running red lights and forcing them to be more cautious at all intersections—whether or not there is actually a red light at the intersection. Opponents of red light cameras, however, argue that they are all about money and financial gain for the private operators and the city. Opponents contend that there is no evidence that they actually increase safety at intersections. Instead, red light cameras make intersections more dangerous as they scare drivers into slamming on their breaks to avoid a ticket.
Redflex charges a monthly fee for each camera. Thus, it must ticket a certain number of drivers for the city to make a profit. Before the city council voted to add the fifth camera, RedFlex monitored the intersection and saw 114 drives turning right on a red light—but that’s it. It did not see any drivers going straight through the light. Most of us do not consider turning right on a red light dangerous.
Menlo Park is no stranger to controversy. Three years ago a grand jury found that it focused only on citation numbers, not safety. Once again focusing on money, not safety, Menlo Park does not seem to have changed its colors.
Mostly singletrack with very few woods roads. The area is developed specifically for mountain bikers and has berms, log rides, and jumps/drop offs constructed by volunteers. The riding is mostly flowy XC with some technical sections mixed in and plenty of big hits off to the side for you free ride guys. New trails are under construction too!
UPDATE 5/2014: Dirt Church has been opened with another trail on the way.
