NDP turns its sights towards 2013 election with student grant proposal
// Liam Loxton | the Capilano Courier
STUDENTS WORTH EVERY DOLLAR
// Liam Loxton
Adrian Dix, leader of the provincial NDP party, is promising $100 million in available grants for students. In the last few weeks, the BC NDP have been pushing to not only reinstate the $80 million grant program cancelled by the BC Liberals in 2004, but to increase it by $20 million.
According to report by the Canadian Federation of Students, the increasing cost of tuition is averaging at 3.6% per year. The same report shows that the average B.C. university undergraduate leaves school $27,000 in debt. These facts combined will weigh heavily on whether many young adults will pursue post-secondary education. The fact that the NDP is addressing education issues at this time shows that they are feeling the heat for the upcoming May 2013 election.
Increasing tuition, decreased access to student grants, and the economic recession are all contributing to making education a viable campaign issue that appeals to both students and parents. According to a poll by Angus Reid, the BC Liberals are still suffering from the results of the HST referendum. With a popularity lead of only 5% over the NDP's 38%, both parties will be encouraged to appeal to voting minorities. Although it is unlikely that the Liberal party will target this demographic, an ensuing battle over tuition could make higher education in B.C. more affordable, a win-win scenario for students.
Besides taking out a high-interest student loan, the only way students have to pay tuition is either to save enough money, or to have their parents foot the bill. Both options are becoming less realistic due to the cloud of recession looming over the economy. Minimum wage is an inadequate means of paying high tuition, so parents are being pressured to save beforehand. The Registered Education Savings Plan is a current federal education program that distributes grants to parents who invest before their child attends post-secondary school. According to the Canadian Federation of Students, this program is benefiting the families that can afford education, rather the low-income families that need the grants.
Investing in students will positively impact all British Columbians. An academic journal by Michael Paulsen exploring the economics of post-secondary education shows that in Texas, the state received an additional $1.13 in economic activity for every dollar invested in the public high education industry. The journal also demonstrated that when fewer subsidies are made available for low to middle-class families, enrolment from these groups drops. It's both economically and socially sensible to invest in a grant program that makes education more accessible to all income brackets.
Unfortunately, the Liberals have already reacted, condemning Dix's idea. The Advanced Education Minister, Naomi Yamamoto is quoted in [i]The Times Colonist[/i] as saying, "I'm not likely to take financial advice for programming from Mr. Dix," expressing her opinion that the funding for the program isn't available. The party went on to defend their current education policy, stating that the average tuition paid in B.C. last year was $4,802, which is the fourth lowest in Canada, with average student debt being third lowest.
Still, this recommendation by Dix hints at how hard the NDP party is working to scrape up support for the 2013 election. Education needs to be a priority, but whether the B.C. Liberal party will bother wooing a demographic notorious for low voter turn-out in favour of their usual support base seems an unlikely prospect.

Classical Music's #MeToo Stories Are Just A First Step
July 30, 2018 by Douglas McLennan 1 Comment
This week Washington Post arts journalists Anne Midgette and Peggy McGlone published results of their six-month investigation of sexual harassment in the classical music business. Some of the stories they put on the record were new; others have been open secrets for years.
One of the latter stories – about Cleveland Orchestra concertmaster William Preucil is not new at all. Back in 2007, the Cleveland Scene published an article questioning Preucil's behavior and reporting an incident with a female student at the Cleveland Institute of Music in which the student claimed Preucil had harassed her. The school, said the article, had investigated, and responded by transferring the student to another teacher and paying for her to audition at another school. The Cleveland Orchestra did nothing, at least publicly.
After this week's story, the Cleveland Orchestra quickly suspended Preucil and the Cleveland Institute of Music circulated an internal memo saying that Preucil had resigned. There will doubtless be other announcements from other institutions announcing suspensions and investigations.
There has been a flood of #MeToo revelations in the ten months since The New York Times' Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey published their explosive story about Harvey Weinstein. Several prominent artists have had to step down from their positions of power, including James Levine, Charles Dutoit and Peter Martins. In classical music insider circles, there has been little surprise – the words "open secret" greeting most revelations. That seems to be the case with Preucil.
Two observations:
Why did the dam of #MeToo stories break with the Weinstein story? It certainly didn't after the Bill Cosby revelations or other prominent stories over the years. The Cleveland Scene story, for example, didn't spark a Preucil suspension. Journalists had been trying to get the Weinstein story for years. I know several journalists who had repeatedly attempted to nail down the Levine story but never could pre-Weinstein. I wonder if in the Trump era, where documented misbehaviors of the president have had seemingly no consequences, frustrations have emboldened victims to step up and for more people to not just take notice but treat their stories seriously. It's happened with gun violence too. Columbine and Sandy Hook didn't get the traction that Parkland has. Sexual harassment and gun violence seem less tolerable when the harasser-in-chief gets away with bad behavior. People seem more motivated to stand up for things they believe in.
Fine to flush predators out of the system. But what about the institutions and the people who run them who looked the other way? Where are the consequences for them? Levine's behavior at the Met was known for years. It's outrageous for Met officials to say they didn't know. The predators are frankly less to blame than the institutions that looked the other way because the bad guys had talent. If there was zero tolerance (something like how we treat embezzlement) there would be less bad behavior. So the Cleveland Orchestra suspended Preucil after the story broke, but why did it take public exposure before it was investigated by the orchestra? The fact that this seemingly went on for years is a Cleveland Orchestra failure as much as it is Preucil's. Until there are consequences for the institutions and the people who look the other way, things won't change. These institutions have to have clearly defined policies and procedures for dealing with accusations. No, people shouldn't be convicted based merely on accusations, but because these institutions clearly aren't invested in curbing bad behavior, the lines are blurry about how to investigate, let alone deal with it.
One last personal note:
When I was an arts reporter at a large metro paper, I discovered that one of the big arts institutions in town had settled with an artist who had come forward with a story of sexual misconduct against the artistic director. The company had subsequently encouraged her to retire and bought her a house to compensate. I dug around a bit and pitched the story to editors who quickly killed it. They didn't want the controversy. He stayed on for several years more, retiring with full honors. Even though the behavior was an "open secret" it was never confronted publicly and there were no public consequences for the enabling institution beyond payoffs to victims. How many careers were ruined or cut short because of it?
It has always bothered me that I didn't push harder, but in truth it was an icky sordid story, and I was acutely aware that exposing this person in the newspaper would end his career and damage his organization. While I cared nothing about him, I understood the precariousness of his institution. And it wasn't – I rationalized – like the victim (or others I had tracked down with similar stories) was willing to talk on the record. When no one is clamoring for a story to come out, it's easy to rationalize not doing it.
But by making that choice, I helped perpetuate a system that ensured there surely were more victims. Saying nothing has long-lasting, corrosive consequences not only for victims but for institutional culture. All of which is to say that Anne and Peggy, two of the best arts journalists working today, did a very brave, very important service with this first step. It will be a shame if it stops with outing the predators and not holding the institutions themselves to account.
Full disclosure: In 2014-15 I worked as a consultant for the organization in Miami that ran the Cleveland Orchestra residency in South Florida, and was paid through the Cleveland Orchestra Miami for that work.

william osborne says
There is an important factual omission in your comment. CIM did not just pay the alleged victim in the 2007 incident to audition at other schools, it also paid her tuition for the school she chose. The Clevelandscene.com article puts it this way:
"At the end of the year, it would pay for her to audition and fly out to other music schools. It would also pay for her education at the school she chose."
That's a huge cost difference from simply paying for auditions, and illustrates the gravity of the incident. (Though the error is understandable given the phrasing in the Clevelandscene article.) I've been told she chose a very expensive school.
I hope your suggestion that the institutions be held equally responsible for harboring abusers will be followed. And I hope the journalistic failures will be acknowledged and remedied.
Part of the problem is obvious. Journalists cannot report if victims do not speak, and victims do not speak when society does not support them. That has only *partially* changed, and in fact, the change in classical music has not been that large. I can tell you as someone who has worked for the rights of women in music for almost 40 years (and at enormous cost to my career,) that the vast majority of victims are still remaining silent out of fear for their careers and other forms of retribution. There is much more work to be done before the vast majority of victims will talk.
Judging from the Washington Post article, nothing was reported unless there were at least three victims willing to go on record about an abuser. I thus suspect that there were many incidents reported to the Washington Post that it did not include because corroborating victims did not come forward or would not go on record. The result is that the article was probably lawyered in half, and that only a small fraction of the people who responded to Midgette's social media calls for reports from victims were included.
I've also noticed that arts organizations usually don't act unless there are multiple victims, and even then, only when there are big headlines that force their hand. The result is that women can experience egregious abuse, but can't say anything unless there are at least two other victims willing to go on record. This means that a huge amount of abuse will continue to go unreported. We should suffer no illusions, Fear and abuse still rule.

These are the best TV shows and movies to watch on Netflix in June
Omar Sy, Lupine
Emmanuel Guimier / Netflix
Looking for the best new shows and movies to watch on Netflix this month? If you've been dreaming of taking an international vacation without having to pack your bags, we've got good news: Netflix is looking pretty global in June. This month's highlights include new episodes of the amusing French crime caper Lupine, the Spanish teen drama Elite, British comedy Feel good, and the beloved Canadian sitcom Kim's convenience.
Some of the other big releases of the month are the timely adaptation of the comic book Sweet tooth, a docu-series on pop music, and, for your dose of summer trash, season 2 of Too hot to handle it.
Our list of suggestions for the best shows and moves on Netflix in June is below, but here's the full list of what's new on Netflix in June. If you want even more handpicked suggestions, click on our full list of recommendations.
The best TV shows and movies on Netflix in June
Kim's convenience
Season 5 available June 2
It's a bittersweet time for all Kim's convenience– the heads over there. Fans of the charming sitcom, which follows a Korean-Canadian family that owns and operates a convenience store, were stunned this spring by news that its fifth season will be its last, despite an earlier renewal of Season 6. But then no one doesn't want to see it shut down early, at least the latest episodes are finally coming to Netflix so Americans can join all of Canada in mourning.
You might not always feel good watching Season 2 of Feel good, but what makes the series great is its willingness to linger in uncomfortable emotions, even when its main character would rather not. In Season 2, Mae (co-creator Mae Martin) attempts to accommodate severe trauma, while George (Charlotte Ritchie) reinvents himself. And they only have one season left to potentially resolve their relationship issues; Feel good ends after a short but sweet two-season season.
Available June 4
Set in the aftermath of a catastrophic global virus, the comic book adaptation Sweet tooth is a spectacle for our time. The series follows a "very special boy" named Gus (Christian Convery), a man-deer hybrid on a journey through the American West, accompanied by an unexpected group of friends. It's just the right mix of weird, dark, and hopeful, with a resonance that no one involved in the show could have originally foreseen.
Part 2 available June 11
Lupine is back for another round. The criminal film follows Assane Diop (Omar Sy), a Senegalese living in France who is influenced by popular French character Arsène Lupine, a thief known as the "Gentleman Burglar" who does good by being on the wrong side of the law. . As a young man, his father was accused of stealing an expensive necklace and committed suicide in prison, leading Assane to take revenge on those who wronged his family. It sounds awfully serious, but Lupine is a fun heist series that is already enjoying huge success around the world. –Tim surette
Season 2 available June 17
Basically the Fear the living dead of Country Z cinematographic universe, Black summer chronicles the early days of a zombie apocalypse, as a woman named Rose (Jaime King) embarks on a dangerous hunt for her daughter. The adrenaline-fueled action horror series shifts the action to winter for Season 2, which makes the title a bit inaccurate.
Nothing turns a prep school show like graduation. The hit Spanish teen drama Elite said goodbye to some of her original stars at the end of Season 3, paving the way for a new class of rich kids with secrets. A strict principal and four new students arrive at Las Encinas in the fourth season, and they bring a new mystery with them.
It's pop
Available June 22
Immerse yourself in the untold stories of pop music with this new eight-part docuserie. The list of featured stars reads like a lineup of wild music festivals: ABBA, Shania Twain, T-Pain, the Backstreet Boys, Orville Peck, Hozier, Childish Gambino, Boyz II Men and many more take center stage. scene. And they don't just look back on their own history; the extensive series also deals in depth with how pop music continues to shape culture.
Too hot to handle it
Too hot to handle it, simultaneously one of the best and worst reality shows to film under COVID protocols, is back for another season of trashy nonsense. Can a sexy group of people give up sex to make a lot of money? What do you think?
Sisters on the right track
This intimate documentary tells the story of the Sheppard sisters, three Brooklyn-born girls who made waves on the national track and field scene, winning a medal at the Junior Olympics while living in a homeless shelter with their mother. The film is driven by their powerful relationship with their coach and mentor, but the girls' determination is the real star.

One of the first cars to use a Rotary engine.
The NSU Ro 80 was a technologically advanced large sedan-type automobile produced by the German firm of NSU from 1967 until 1977. largely unknown for building cars outside Europe, the Ro 80 was a unique car with a 115 bhp (86 kW), 995 cc twin-rotor Wankel engine driving the front wheels through a clutchless semi-automatic transmission. It was voted Car of the Year for 1968 by European motoring writers.
Unfortunately for NSU, the car developed an early reputation for unreliability it could never escape. The Wankel engine in particular suffered from heavy wear on the rotor tip seals, among many other problems, and some early cars required a completely rebuilt engine before 30,000 miles (50,000 km). Poor understanding of the Wankel engine by dealers and mechanics did not help this situation. By the 1970 model year, most of these problems were resolved, but the damages to the car's reputation and NSU's financial situation were irreparable. NSU even planned to develop a 3 rotor motor but this plan was scrapped largely due to lack of funds.
Other technological features of the Ro 80 aside from the powertrain were the four wheel disk brakes, still a rarity among cars of its class at the time. The front brakes were mounted inboard, reducing the unsprung weight. The suspension was independent on all four wheels, with MacPherson struts at the front and semi-trailing arm suspension at the rear, both of which are space-saving designs commonly used today. Power assisted rack and pinion steering was used, again foreshadowing modern designs.
The styling, by Claude Luthe, was considered very modern at the time and still holds up well; the Ro 80 has been part of many gallery exhibits of modern industrial design. The large glass area foreshadowed 1970s designs such as Citroën's. The shape was also slippery, with a drag coefficient of 0.355 (practically unequalled for the era, although average for modern cars).
Series production started in October 1967: the last examples came off the production line in April 1977.
NSU were developing a smaller version of the RO-80, to be called the NSU K-70, planned to use a more conventional engine in a move to improve on the bad image they received with the RO-80s reliability. Unfortunately with dwindling funds NSU merged with the Volkswagen and Audi group in 1969. the K70 was released as a Volkswagen in 1971 and NSU continued on with only the RO80 until 1977 when NSU ceased to exist. Only 37,400 vehicles were produced during a ten year production run.
Звездный час NSU пробил в 1967 году, когда компания выставила на всеобщее обозрение революционную модель Ro-80.
Это был незаурядный автомобиль с клиновидным кузовом, который не только стал первым в мире седаном с роторно-поршневым двигателем, но и характеризовался прекрасной обтекаемостью и современным, даже на сегодняшний день, переднеприводным шасси. Автомобиль отличался модным для того времени дизайном. Но все эти незаурядные показатели бледнели перед непревзойденной полуавтоматической трансмиссией. Автомобиль буквально состоял из ноу-хау: его алюминиевый кузов отличался низкой линией капота, что стало возможным благодаря скромным размерам РПД. Так был получен выигрыш не только во внешнем виде, но и в аэродинамике. Двухсекционный роторный двигатель ККМ12 мощностью 115 л.с. приводил передние колеса через механическую КПП с автоматическим сцеплением, обеспечивая разгон до 100 км/ч за 12.8 секунды и "максималку" в 180 км/ч. В те времена такую динамику называли захватывающей!
Неудивительно, что осенью NSU Ro-80 выиграл престижный конкурс "Автомобиль Года". Кстати, первым из немецких автомобилей.
Модель NSU Ro-80 получила самую высокую оценку знатоков автомобилей и запомнилась как машина со сверхмягким двигателем. Но именно в ее новаторском двигателе и заключалась главная проблема: он оказался крайне недолговечным.

Time for EU to back Taiwan directly
Michael Danielsen chairman of Taiwan Corner giving a talk at the UNPO conference in the European Parliament.
It is time for EU to back Taiwan directly writes Taiwan Corner's chairman Michael Danielsen. Chinese pressure on Taiwan has over the past two years reached an unreasonably high level. Under such circumstances it is not enough to talk. Actions are required. When will Taiwan get an invitation to the World Health Assembly? Taiwan has not been invited for the past two years. When will Taiwan's president, vice president, premier, minister of national defense and minister of foreign affairs be able to visit the EU for global discussions? When will the EU allow military sales to Taiwan? Why is a parallel agreement with China necessary when negotiating one with Taiwan? Do not expect the EU to assist Taiwan soon with regard to increasing Chinese pressure, because the EU's Taiwan policies lack substance and it tends to focus on political statements with poor or no real political value. The problem with the EU is well known. We are witness to the classic dilemma that the EU is an economic superpower with no coherent foreign policy.
First published in Taipei Times on October 11 2018
In foreign policy we should act when we can stop something bad from happening without compromising our own morals, but do not expect the EU to assist Taiwan soon with regard to increasing Chinese pressure, because the EU's Taiwan policies lack substance and it tends to focus on political statements with poor or no real political value.
The problem with the EU is well known. We are witness to the classic dilemma that the EU is an economic superpower with no coherent foreign policy. Consequently, its high ambitions in promoting human rights and democratic values cannot compete with Chinese trade and investments in Europe.
Chinese pressure on Taiwan has over the past two years reached an unreasonably high level. Under such circumstances it is not enough to talk. Actions are required.
When will the EU start delivering results that significantly benefit Taiwan?
The EU can deliver if its members agree to it. For instance, EU nations continue to praise Taiwan's efforts in promoting health internationally as European Economic and Trade Office Director Madeleine Majorenko did in August, but it has failed to deliver on Taiwan's invitation to the World Health Assembly for the past two years. When will Taiwan get an invitation?
The EU also wants Taiwan to be a part of the global discussion, but continues to block Taiwan's top five government officials from traveling to the EU. When will Taiwan's president, vice president, premier, minister of national defense and minister of foreign affairs be able to visit the EU for global discussions?
Taiwan needs military equipment to defend itself against an increasingly assertive China. When will the EU allow military sales to Taiwan? The US is the sole provider of military equipment to Taiwan, making defense more expensive for taxpayers.
The list is much longer and includes an investment agreement that is being looked at in parallel with a Chinese agreement. Why is a parallel agreement with China necessary?
The lack of substance in the EU's actions is even more surprising knowing that delivery on these areas does not violate the EU's so-called "one China" policy. In the EU's "one China" policy, the EU prefers to maintain the "status quo" between Taiwan and China, and supports Taiwan's meaningful participation in international organizations that do not require statehood.
If the EU cannot dream up its own ideas, it can find inspiration in the US, which has introduced the Taiwan Travel Act and the National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2019.
Historically, the EU has been reactive rather than proactive toward Taiwan. Consequently, it would require a significant change of mindset to move the bloc in a more proactive direction. For instance, the EU established its representative office in Taiwan in 2003 after Taiwan's accession to the WTO and many years of investment by the private sector without official support. Taiwan's visa exemption for the EU was only introduced after the Lisbon Treaty when unanimity was no longer required. The UK was ahead of the EU on this.
On the other side of the equation, Taiwan continues praising the EU's symbolic talk because it appears afraid of being accused of being a troublemaker.
Taiwan's foreign policies make sense on many levels, but tend to lock Taiwan and the EU in a hopeless situation only benefiting China. For the EU, foreign policy should not always be about what is rationally best for the union in all cases.
In relation to Taiwan, the EU needs to place values higher than economics. So, when it rightly criticizes Taiwan for recent executions, it needs to look at itself in a broader human rights and democratic perspective.

Tonight I was uploading pictures like I do at least once a week. Then a realization dawned on me. How many pictures have I taken?
If somebody told me I had taken over 1,000,000 pictures in my life, I wouldn't be surprised. I know I've taken at least that many, because about eight or nine out of every ten pictures I delete.
If I'm not mistaken, I have Over 1500 pictures on facebook alone. Probably closer to 2000 (thank God they don't have an upload limit).
Pictures can be forever, especially if they are uploaded onto the Internet. I forget how powerful they are. After all, there have been periods in my life where I have taken/kept over 100 pictures a day. If something is so numerous, so trivial, and only takes a second to gain, then I see why they can seem so unimportant.
However, what would my life be without my pictures? Nothing. With the exception of the memories of my acquaintances, my various blogs and the occasional home video, my life would be undocumented. I've taken countless pictures. Things that I have found pretty or interesting, people who are beautiful and are close to me, and major and minor life evens have all been captured through my lens.
My pictures are truly my in-depth journal. I haven't really thought about them in that respect until now.
Pictures document the lives of many people. So many keep old photo albums and upload hundreds of photos to the Internet to share (I've done both). Photography is a gift that I and many others have taken for granted.
A few days ago marked the year and a half anniversary of me and my Canon, Josey. Josey was purchased by the means of many hours of babysitting and some Christmas money. She was honestly one of the best purchases I've ever made (ranking among my Chacos, iPhone and Mac) and I use her all the time. I'm so thankful I was able to buy my camera, without her I wouldn't have gotten involved with my magazine or landed my internship. It's amazing where a simple machine can take you.

Q: Use ID instead of IRI in show/edit-URL I'm using Symfony with API Platform on a server for my REST API.
The client uses React-admin with the Hydra data provider.
My problem is that the pages for viewing or editing resources have a very ugly URL, because it uses the IRI instead of just the ID.

Instead of tags/%2Fapi%2Ftags%2F8/show, the path should be tags/8/show.
How do I accomplish that?

One of the wonderful things about rural living is the natural beauty all around. Because we are rural, we are spared the unsightly roadside billboard. After all, who is going to see a billboard in a rural area? Hence, no ugly billboards to visually pollute.
We had business in Austin (we're about 75 miles from Austin) and decided to take a different route home. How fortuitous for you, gentle blog reader! Some things one just cannot make up! I only wish I had more pictures to document the experience! (The picture featured here was taken on my iPad while driving. Thus, my limitations).
We must have been on billboard boulevard. There was one billboard after another with the usual advertisement fodder. So usual, most of them didn't even register for me. Then, within a mile stretch, I was rewarded with three billboard messages I still remember. Actually, it's more like: did I really see that?!?
Did I really see: God, Gays, and Guns?!? The sign was advertising some radio talk show, I think, since there was a radio station's numbers in the lower right-hand corner of the sign. I get the alliteration factor, but the subject combination…? I sense the oh-oh feeling coming on.
Then, did I really see: a billboard advertising the Cowboy Church?!? Did you know that there is a network of independent churches called The Cowboy Church? Yes, indeed.
I once did a biker wedding where everyone, including the bride and groom, rode in on their Harleys. Maybe this is like that. Cowboys and cowgirls ride in on their horses. Communion is coffee from an enamel coffee pot from the campfire and a few baked beans rustled up by the camp cook.
The next sign: Don't go to church with a picture of a church. The only other piece of information on that sign was don'tgotochurch.com. Don't bother looking it up. The address isn't valid.
We saw a couple of other things that were totally bonus treats.
If guns kill people, then pencils misspell words.
Bonus treat #3: A full set of plate-amour (yes, just like 15th century knights!) on the front porch of a very worn-down looking 1970s track house! I get it. The average person's version of yard bling!
Yard Bling eh? Would pink flamingos be considered yard bling, or must it be shiny?
Pink flamingos might have been this first yard bling! Garden nomes, not so much.

Hondzocht est un hameau belge situé sur le territoire de la commune brabançonne flamande de Hal. À l'origine c'était un hameau de l'ancienne commune de Lembecq, mais du fait de la fusion de Lembecq et Buizingen  à Hal en 1977, c'est devenu un hameau de Hal.

Hondzocht est situé à la frontière linguistique. C'était une communauté agricole prospère, qui se manifestait par de nombreuses grandes fermes. Un facteur contributif à cela était qu'aucun droit d'accise n'était imposé sur l'alcool à Lembecq, ce qui signifiait que de nombreux agriculteurs se tournaient également vers la production de bière.

Légende
Une légende datant du 12e siècle veut que le héros Gilles de Chin se y ait combattu un dragon ou un chien. Il  serait fini par le vaincre après une longue recherche et ce serait de là que viendrait le nom du village puisque  Hond veut dire chien, et zocht prétérit de chercher.

Toponymie
 Une  explication plus probable est que le nom soit la combinaison de "honds" et "hocht". Hocht peut signifier autant buisson ou "endroit éloigné avec des buissons sauvages".  Le terme "Honds" peut soit désigner un type d'arbre (hondsboom) ou un nom de famille (De Hont).  Mais il est aussi possible que les noms d'animaux "chien" et "loup" fassent référence à des régions éloignées ou à des zones frontalières entre des terres fertiles. Comme Hondzocht est situé à la frontière entre Lembecq et Saintes (dans la commune de Tubize), c'est possible que le nom fasse référence à cette zone frontalière assez éloignée mais couverte de buissons.

Histoire
Le village a joué un rôle dans l'histoire militaire belge. À la bataille de Waterloo, le duc de Wellington avait installé un deuxième quartier général à Hondzocht, dans les fermes Malavisé et Yserbyt. Le prince d'Orange Guillaume a envoyé d'ici 17 000 soldats composés de régiments de Belges, Hollandais, Britanniques, Allemands, Suédois et Cosaques russes. Sa mission spécifique, le 18 juin 1815, était diriger la 2e ligne pour défendre Bruxelles, Anvers et Ostende et ainsi sécuriser le chemin vers les ports si les Britanniques perdaient la bataille de Waterloo. Les troupes sont restées à Hondzocht et dans les environs de Hal jusqu'à Grammont. Le moulin à vent de Hondzocht servait de tour de guet et le prince lui-même a dirigé ces troupes depuis le moulin le 18 juin.

Pendant la Première Guerre mondiale, il y eut aussi des combats à Hondzocht. La ferme d'Yserbyt avait été réquisitionnée par l'armée allemande qui y installa un dépôt de munitions avec des canons anti-aériens. Pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, le 3 septembre 1944, Hondzocht devient le premier hameau flamand à être libéré. Les gardes gallois se sont battus avec les Allemands en retraite. Dans le hameau, une fillette de 9 ans, Francine Leroux a été mortellement touchée par balle alors qu'elle voulait vivre le cortège des libérateurs avec son père. Son père a reçu une balle dans le cou, mais a survécu à ses blessures.

Infrastructure
La chaussée d'Enghien a été construite par les Autrichiens vers 1770 à travers le hameau. Ils allaient résolument droit devant eux, traversant fermes et brasseries. Il a fallu que de nombreuses fermes soient rénovées ou déplacées. Les grandes fermes ont été pour la plupart préservées. Les fermes carrées Malavisé, Cuisenaire et Yserbyt sont protégées au titre des monuments du patrimoine immobilier.

Depuis la construction de l'A8 en 1975, Hondzocht est séparée de Hal par le tracé de cette autoroute.

Culture

Bière
De la fin des années 1970 à 1990, la Brasserie Boon était située à Hondzocht, dans l'ancienne brasserie De Vits, avant de commencer à brasser à Lembecq.

Moulin

Le moulin de Hondzocht, un moulin de montagne en pierre de 1775 où le maïs est moulu, se trouve en fait à 20 mètres de l'autre côté de la frontière linguistique sur la chaussée d'Enghien dans la section de Saintes, une section de Tubize.

Fêtes
Depuis 1997, le hameau organise une fête de quartier de trois jours chaque premier week-end d'août.

Temple bouddhiste
En 2015, un temple bouddhiste cambodgien avec deux grandes statues de Bouddha y a été inauguré.

Wanchunting
Wanchunting in the Imperial Garden.
At the back of the Hall of Earthly Tranquility there is the Imperial Garden which is called Yuhuayuan in Chinese. It was built in the Ming Dynasty in 1417 and covers about 12,000 square meters. This garden was used as a private retreat for the imperial family and was designed with the typical Chinese imperial style. There are twenty different styles which are varied from each other but forming harmonious atmosphere with the trees, rockeries, flower beds, bronze incense burners and other sculptural objects.
One of the dominant buildings in this imperial garden is the Hall of Imperial Peace (Qinandian in Chinese) which is occupying the central position. There are different kinds of ancient trees such as the Consort Pine which is about four hundred years old still growing in front of the Hall of Imperial Peace. There is a pavilion on the four corners of the garden which symbolize the four seasons. The so called Pavilion of Myriad Springs is the most famous one which is lying in the eastern corner. It was built in 1535.
Duixiushan means Gathering beauty hill in English is an artificial mountain with a cave and on top of the mountain there is Pavilion of Imperial View. You can climb up to the pavilion and enjoy the scenery of the Imperial Garden and experiencing the atmosphere once was only accessible to the royal families.
You will also see the footpaths which are paved with different shapes of colored pebbles, which is indicating good fortune. A group of pictures describing shrews punishing their husbands may seem strange to appear in the imperial garden which was at a time in male domination and under the omnipotence of the emperor.
The northern end of the garden is the Gate of Divine Might. The Gate of Divine Might or Gate of Divine Prowess is the northern gate of the Forbidden City which is facing with Jingshan Park. There is a tablet above the doorway which reads "The Palace Museum". The Gate of Divine Might was previously named The Black Tortoise Gate which is the name for the northern gate of a Chinese Imperial Palace. It was replaced with the Gate of Divine Might because it is similar with the birth name of Kangxi Emperor. Anything related to the name of the royal family was a sacred taboo in ancient time.

Ramat Shlomo: What happened?
In the Friday JPost, Gil Hoffman explains how the announcement regarding new building in Ramat Shlomo hit Netanyahu in the face.
NETANYAHU FIRST heard about the Ramat Shlomo building project when Hefetz interrupted a meeting at the prime minister's Knesset office with Kadima MK Nachman Shai, who presented his doctorate to Netanyahu, his former colleague at the embassy in Washington.
Hefetz informed Netanyahu that he had read about the decision to build in the northeastern Jerusalem haredi neighborhood on the Internet. The prime minister apparently had not heard of Ramat Shlomo and asked where it was. [THAT strains credibility. He's a Jerusalemite. CiJ]
Had direct talks with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas begun, perhaps Netanyahu would have heard about the neighborhood from him, because it was one of the few places over the Green Line that Abbas told former prime minister Ehud Olmert that Israel could keep in a final-status agreement.
According to a December 8 Channel 10 report, when Olmert offered the Palestinians 94.5 percent of the West Bank and another 5.5% of pre-1967 Israel, Abbas responded with his own map in which Israel would keep only 1.9% of the area over the Green Line. Ma'aleh Adumim, Gush Etzion and some Jewish Jerusalem neighborhoods were not included in the 1.9%, but Ramat Shlomo specifically was.
When informed of the announcement about Ramat Shlomo, Netanyahu immediately called Interior Minister Eli Yishai, who told him that he knew a decision about the neighborhood was expected eventually but that he did not know the planning committee would be meeting while Biden was in town.
Yishai told Netanyahu that he would take responsibility for his ministry's decision and deflect blame from the prime minister himself. But Yishai also said he thought the public would not understand why Israel was apologizing for building in Jerusalem, which is not included in the 10-month construction moratorium in Judea and Samaria.
The article then goes on for several paragraphs implying that Yishai is to blame and that he prepared a 'surprise' for Biden. Maybe. But you can bet that no one in Yishai's office will talk about it.
Hoffman also contradicts Laura Rozen's report in Politico - which was apparently sourced in the Israeli media who allegedly heard from Dennis Ross - about how angry Biden was. This is Hoffman on the hour and a half delay before dinner on Tuesday night.
During that time, Biden met with his staff at the David Citadel Hotel and was in touch with Washington to decide how to respond to the Ramat Shlomo announcement. Netanyahu's associates said the dinner was still warm in more ways than one, and that Biden was apologetic about condemning the building project.
"They felt forced to respond and they [also] don't like that [the Ramat Shlomo controversy] overshadowed other elements of the visit," a senior Israeli official said. "This is the last thing you want in a vice presidential visit. It's an unfortunate bump in the road, but the same values [of Israel and the US] are still in place. There is an ongoing disagreement between Israel and the US on building in Jerusalem and that would have been true whether this was announced the week before or the week after."
Hoffman has more to say about the warm relations between Netanyahu and Biden. Read the whole thing.
Haaretz claims that Netanyahu was surprised by the American condemnation of the Ramat Shlomo building plan. Haaretz also says that the Israeli government believes that the White House is orchestrating the 'crisis.'
Sources in the Prime Minister's Office said the crisis appeared to be orchestrated by the U.S. administration, as Netanyahu apologized to U.S. Vice President Biden and believed that the crisis was behind the two allies.
And there is certainly reason to believe that's correct.
Meanwhile, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Friday called Israel's announcement "insulting" to the United States.
"I mean, it was just really a very unfortunate and difficult moment for everyone - the United States, our vice president who had gone to reassert our strong support for Israeli security - and I regret deeply that that occurred and made that known," Clinton said during the CNN interview.
Clinton did not blame Netanyahu personally for the announcement, but she said, "He is the prime minister. Like the president or secretary of state...ultimately, you are responsible."
I guess she ought to know that from when her husband was President.
Look, it's no secret that Obama hates Israel and that Hillary Clinton - whose closest friends in the American Jewish community all belong to American Friends of Peace Now - is not exactly enamored of us either. But there's someone else who's been orchestrating this 'crisis': The Israeli media. The lead headline in every newscast I've heard this morning and in all the newspapers I heard read on the 5:00 am news magazine were about Clinton's call to Netanyahu on Friday. Clearly, someone has an interest in this crisis not blowing over. And it's not just the 'Palestinians.'
Clinton links Iran to Jewish building in 'east' Je...

Do 6.3.2016 bude v Karlin Studios, Křižíkova 34, Praha 8, přístupná skupinová výstava Preliminary sadness.
Jedná se o jednu z výstav k 10 letům a ukončení činnosti Karlin studios.
It is both equally posture and honesty, both celebration and execution. From its time placement it is already clear it belongs only to the young. It's somehow the gratuitous violence we commit on ourselves, but also the immature maturity of abandoning the absorption into the care for life before we even fully understand we have it. Preliminary sadness is contradictory, it brings first what should come after. However precisely this refusal of causality makes it be the only true sadness, not a mere reaction.

Dr. Mark Rosenberg received his undergraduate degree from the University of Pennsylvania and his medical degree from Georgetown University School of Medicine in 1988. Dr. Rosenberg completed his residency in emergency medicine where he was awarded "Resident and Teacher of the Year." Dr. Rosenberg has been director/assistant director of several emergency departments, including Walter Reed Army Medical Center.
While staying active in academic emergency medicine, Dr. Rosenberg began contemplating methods to improve healthcare, such as how to improve treatment of the cause of medical disorders, rather than just treating the symptoms. In the late 1990s, Dr. Rosenberg reviewed the literature regarding obesity drugs and subsequently developed a novel drug for the treatment of obesity, for which he filed a patent.
Dr. Rosenberg's drug development for obesity was sidetracked, when his mother presented to his emergency department with chest pain. Dr. Rosenberg diagnosed his mother with non-small cell lung cancer, that had metastasized to the liver, spleen, and bilateral adrenal glands. Dr. Rosenberg consulted with oncologists at preeminent cancer centers, where he learned the following: for most solid cancers (as opposed to leukemias and lymphomas), we have extended survival by approximately 2 months over the past 20 years.
Dr. Rosenberg's career path swiftly and abruptly changed course, toward the study of cancer. He began studying tumor metabolism and then became the program director for the first Integrative Cancer Fellowship in the U.S.
Dr. Rosenberg and his team began working with Univ. of Minnesota, and eventually filed patents, on novel monocarboxylate transport inhibitors (MCT). MCTs are responsible for transporting lactic acid outside and inside the cancer cell, which are transporters that are vital for progression of many cancers.
Patent expired long ago, so there is no financial incentive to sponsor a clinical trial.
Dr. Rosenberg took 2 patients with end-stage small cell lung cancer and treated them outside of the U.S. with salinomycin, achieving complete remission in both cases. As of the time this article was written, the first patient has been in remission for 4.5 years and the second for 3.5 years.
Dr. Rosenberg and his team started a pharmaceutical company and partnered with a few individuals from Harvard, with the goal being to reduce toxicity of salinomycin, while improving its selectivity for cancer cells, thereby sparing normal cells. The animal studies look extremely promising, so Dr. Rosenberg merged his company with another pharmaceutical company, which will likely improve his ability to raise funds for the first human trial.
Dr. Rosenberg's career path has clearly taken an unusual turn, but he has dedicated his life to making a difference in the lives of those effected by cancer.

Q: Match e-mail addresses not contained in HTML tag I need to highlight an email addresses in text but not highlight them if contained in HTML tags, content, or attributes.
For example, the string example@example.com must be converted to example@example.com
But email addresses in the string example@example.com must not be processed.
I've tried something like this regexp:
(?<![":])[a-zA-Z0-9._%-+]+@[a-zA-Z0-9._%-]+.[a-zA-Z]{2,6}(?!")
but it doesn't work properly.

A: I'll guessing that your source text is an HTML file which is missing anchor tags for only some of the contained e-mail addresses. If this is true, then you will not be able to use a regexp to reliably match only untagged e-mail addresses. For example, given the input:
...

You'll find a lot more written by

SvartaIF@example.com
.

...

it becomes impossible to lexically associate the href with the address and also exclude an@sign.org. You need to use an HTML parser; BeautifulSoup is pretty popular.

Patients give Royal London Hospital a mixed bill of health

PATIENTS at the Royal London are being forced to stay in some of the dirtiest hospital wards in the country, according to a report released today by the healthcare watchdog.
Barts and the London Trust, which runs the Royal London in Whitechapel and the London Chest Hospital, came out as "significantly worse than average" for the cleanliness in its wards, rooms, bathrooms and toilets after being scored by patients.
The Care Quality Commission surveyed inpatients at the country's 162 hospital trusts between September 2009 and January this year on a range of topics including A&E, cleanliness, mixed-sex wards and overall treatment.
But this week, bosses insisted all its hospitals had recently had "wide scale cleaning and repairs programmes" including new floors, improved lighting and the re-grouting all basins and showers.
A spokeswoman said: "The trust takes the issue of hospital cleanliness extremely seriously.
"All our wards have daily cleaning schedules and a weekly cleaning audit. Ward toilets and bathrooms are cleaned each morning and lunchtime then inspected again late afternoon."
Also in the report the Royal London's A&E department, which recently became a major trauma centre, received top scores from patients
The trust was rated as "significantly better than average" for the information it gives to emergency patients about their condition and treatment.
And the trust was in the top 20 per cent of the country for the time patients have to wait for a bed after arriving at A&E and for the time they have to wait to be admitted after being referred to hospital.
This will come as relief to hospital bosses who have been battling with waiting time targets for more than two years with some outpatients facing the worst delays in England.
The trust was also sitting comfortably among 60 per cent of the country's trusts for treating its patients with respect and dignity and it received a score of 77 out of 100 for the overall care its staff provided.
