Not naming any names, here, but there are some constraints
in the making of cookies that cookie critics need to be aware
of. Below - this came through my Facebook feed - we see that,
for an equivalent amount of flour, the thinner cookie will
have a higher concentration of sugars and butter. The larger
more cake-like cookie might take a frosting for that function.
It's just about what will cook... and rise! 😊
Today I take the plunge and start putting my calendar app
together. Best way to start is to design the interface, with the
use of ttk Frame to group little interaction widgets together.
Will then use the grid layout managet to situate the frames.

Found a helpful color chart for python, where one an work with
color names:
So, I am connected!!
Tkinter widgets and ttk widgets need to be coded differently.
the caledar with DateEntry is similar to a ttk combobox widget.
Below, the code for that from Codemy:

No dearth of information on the Artemis Moon launch, Monday. Did find
this interesting tidbit in the New York Times, about what was learnt from
previous missions:

Making requests in French, I did find some code with a lambda function I have
been adapting:

The Zaporijia nuclear power plant remains at the heart of concerns. The Ukrainian operator Energoatom announced on Saturday August 27 that the plant cold be connected to the electricity grid, but the presence of Russian military equipment on the site still constituted a major danger.
Russian troops shelled the site “repeatedly over the past day ,” Ukraine's national carrier said. "As a result of periodic bombardments, the plant's infrastructure has been damaged and there are risks of hydrogen leakage and spraying of radioactive substances ," she said, noting as well "a high risk of fire” .
Between Thursday and Friday, the plant and its six reactors of 1,000 megawatts each were "totally disconnected" from the national grid due to damage to the power lines, according to Kiev. Energoatom finally announced that “one of the reactors shut down the day before” had been “reconnected to the electricity grid” on Friday. It “produces electricity for the needs of Ukraine” and “an increase in [its] power is in progress ,” the company said.
Kyiv and Moscow continue to blame each other for the bombardments near the complex, near the town of Enerhodar, on the Dnieper River, and thus putting the plant in danger. Russia has thus accused Ukraine of having fired seventeen shells on the enclosure of the power plant during the last twenty-four hours. “Four fell on the roof of the building (…) where 168 American nuclear fuel assemblies from the WestingHouse firm are located ,” the Russian Defense Ministry said in a statement. Shells also reportedly crashed 30 meters from a used fuel depot and near another containing “fresh fuel” .
According to the Russian army, the Ukrainian army fires from the outskirts of the town of Marhanets, which faces the plant, on the opposite bank of the Dnieper, still controlled by Kyiv. According to the governor of the Dnipropetrovsk oblast, Valentyn Reznitchenko, the Russians, conversely, sent from the Zaporijia power station Grad missiles and artillery shells on the towns of Nikopol and Marhanets.
Deeming the situation "dangerous" , the Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelensky, on Friday urged the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to send a mission tosite as soon as possible, deploring that the Russian troops "are pushing permanently towards a worst-case scenario” . The UN has called for a cessation of all military activity in the surrounding area while, faced with a "very real risk of nuclear disaster" , the IAEA is demanding access to it.
IAEA experts are expected there "next week" , according to the adviser to the Ukrainian energy minister, Lana Zerkal, who accused the Russians of "artificially creating obstacles" to this mission, which Moscow denies . The Agency, for its part, has not confirmed any date forits mission.

So the set-up for a 'pythonesque' take on sqlite will look
as follows:
.PNG)
Noteworthy, here: the database lives in RAM memory. One starts all over at
every run; avoiding the pesky overwriting problems. This is the better set-up
to develop our functionality. As well, the 'with conn' line is a python environmental
feature. The connection closes itself at the end of every run.

In the light of sanity - the next morning - added a record for Vicky Mouse 60000.
Everyone is still in the database, as expected.
