East Anglian businesses are braced for tough times ahead after Rishi Sunak laid out a bleak set of predictions for the UK economy in his pre-Christmas spending review.

With the country still in lockdown, the UK chancellor piled on the misery as he revealed a massive 11.3% contraction in the economy — the biggest fall in 300 years and the second sharpest in Europe.
Across the region, there were fears that some companies would not be able to survive, and that sectors such as hospitality would be particularly badly hit.

"Our health emergency is not yet over and our economic emergency has only just begun," he said.

But with borrowing at £394bn this year — a fifth of the entire economy — and debt expected to reach 97.5% of gross domestic product in 2025, his only two clear "austerity" moves at this early stage were a public sector pay freeze for those sitting above the median wage of £24k, and cutting overseas aid from 0.7% of GDP to 0.5%.
Instead, infrastructure spend will be pegged at a whopping £100bn — up £27m in real terms compared to last year in a bid to stimulate much-needed growth in the economy. Even so, government statisticians expect the UK economy to be 3% smaller in 2025 than it was.
In Suffolk, there were fears that any "levelling up" infrastructure investment would bypass the region — leaving it to fend for itself as it recovers from the economic crisis unleashed by the coronavirus crisis. Firms also feared the cost of the crisis would fall into companies' laps.
Matt Moss, managing director of home office manufacturer SMART Garden Rooms, Offices & Studios in Thurston, near Bury St Edmunds, said he was pleased the chancellor's strategy was "not austerity and instead recovery by investment".

Infrastructure spend was important, he said, but he was concerned that "the levelling up proposal will be focused in the North and where Suffolk is a safe area with a positive net contribution to the treasury we will be overlooked".
"We have major infrastructure investment needs with the A14, railway connectivity from Felixstowe and beyond, and still major 'not spots' for broadband," he pointed out.
"With unemployment set to rise as predicted, with the bulk of these likely to be private sector, what is the retraining strategy or investment? The investment in people will be an important one to regrow the economy but this can't be suffered by the private sector.
"With significant increases proposed with public spending, investment and services, but only one cut in overseas aid, the business community needs to be reassured that this will not be passed to us, which we will not find out until next year. What we need to see a tax and incentive review for entrepreneurs and business owners."
Paul Simon of Suffolk Chamber of Commerce said Mr Sunak's figures showed the full impact of Covid-19 on the UK economy.
"However, Suffolk Chamber remains confident that with the right support, businesses in the county and elsewhere will be able to recover in the longer-term.
"But what is needed to restart business investment and employment plans and to boost the necessary confidence in employers long-term planning, is a clear strategy from the government to deliver a quick turnaround and accurate test and trace system and a comprehensive rollout of the available vaccines from early next year onwards.
"The £18bn that the government will be spend on testing, PPE (personal protective equipment) and vaccines is welcome, but the delivery of all of these elements needs to avoid the stop-start stutterings of 2020."
But Dave Atkinson, regional director for the East of England at Lloyds Bank Commercial Banking, was upbeat about pledges for infrastructure funding.
"The chancellor's pledge to provide funding to rejuvenate the transport system will be welcomed by many in the region. The plans laid out in the National Infrastructure Strategy will go some way to boost business' optimism about the coming months and should play an important role in driving the economic recovery post-lockdown."
The hospitality sector — one of the areas to bear the brunt of lockdown — is one area likely to suffer most if customers have less money in their pockets.
Philip Turner, founder of the Chestnut Group, which owns 12 pubs across Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex, pointed out that hospitality is part of the discretionary spend economy, and was therefore concerned about the dramatic rise in unemployment.
"The acknowledgement in the pain taken by the private sector as a result of Covid-19 is welcomed, although the context of using to justify a pay freeze for non-NHS public sector is not so for those affected – again, risking a realignment of discretionary spend," he said.
But the government spending response to the coronavirus crisis "has been, and will continue to be a life saver".
However, the risk was that jobs are being protected for businesses that might fail as a result of the forecast 11.3% contraction in GDP.
"As it stands, there have been no indications from government as to how to further incentivise the private sector to stimulate investment and job creation," he said.
"The March 2020 change to Entrepreneur's Relief, and lack of any private investment capital incentives is not creating a fertile environment for private investment and growth – which could sit alongside the huge government infrastructure etc spending initiatives."
Overall he felt that confidence would take a knock and that consumers' discretionary spending would reduce.
Some hospitality businesses would go to the wall, he predicted, and the impact of working from home was already leading to behavioural changes.
"Businesses will need to adapt to the new demand dynamic, acknowledging that we will all need to work harder to stand still."
Andrew Mower, development manager for the Federation for Small Businesses, was disappointed that although the "pro-enterprise" government "said almost nothing about the importance of business and private sector job creation".
"The Spending Review was a missed opportunity to help small business owners - not least those so far excluded from support measures - and underlines the importance of a pro-business Spring Budget that focuses on growth and recovery," he said.
"But depending on restrictions over the coming months, we may well need to see significant interventions before then, and particularly to spur business and job creation by the time the furlough scheme is reviewed in January."
Andrew Diver, head of taxation at Ipswich accountancy firm Beatons Group, said it would take time to work out whether the measures Mr Sunak has put in place will nurture a recovery.
"Meanwhile, the government's vision for a green economy has been supported with a £126bn investment to reach net zero by 2050 and £92m to plant 30,000 hectares of trees which will support 250,000 jobs.
"The chancellor has also pledged to simplify the planning process to facilitate the building of many more homes to help jobs in construction — but this could put pressure on the greenbelt."
Notable absentees from the spending review included the state pension triple lock and a no-deal Brexit, he added.
"A no-deal Brexit could have even more adverse effects than the 11% fall in GDP," he said. "The chancellor also unveiled the increase in the National Living Wage but there is the worry that this could make it more difficult for people to be rehired into the hospitality sector for example, one of the areas hardest hit."
A "pile of debt" was accumulating, pointing to looming tax rises in the spring, he warned. Capital gains tax and other tax rises were looking likely, he suggested.
Ian Waine, head of corporate and senior partner at Ipswich law firm Prettys, said: "There was not a lot of seasonal cheer in the chancellor's speech, but there were a few areas to be pleased about. He is not shrinking from continuing to spend money - with borrowing this year at a record high during peacetime of £394bn.
"This is coupled with 19% of GDP against the background of an anticipated annual drop in GDP of 11.5% this year and an expectation that GDP will still be feeling the impact of this year's downturn in 2025.
"However there is a recognised need to return to a sustainable position in the medium term - but it was unclear as to what measures would be needed in the future to do this.
"For the local economy there was, in common with the rest of the UK, help for the longer term unemployed, some promised public sector pay rises in the NHS but not for other public sector areas and help for the lower paid with the National Living Wage increasing to £8.91 per hour."
But whether East Anglia will benefit substantially from infrastructure spending will depend on how successfully projects can compete against those from other regions, particularly the north where the government has promised a "levelling up" agenda, he suggested.

"A Clean Well-Lighted Place" (Informative Essay Sample)
/ Samples / Informative / A Clean Well Lighted Place
This is a story about an old deaf man who loves drinking and visits a café in town at night. There are two waiters who engage in some dialogue that enables the reader to understand more about the old man. The two waiters are also of different kinds since one does not like staying up late at night while the other stays late at night as he has difficulties getting sleep at night. The waiters get into an argument as the old waiter is willing to let the old man continue drinking but the younger waiter is in a hurry to go home to his wife and into bed.
The Characters and Character Traits
The old deaf man is the main character in the story as the story revolves around him. The two waiters engage in a dialogue about the old man and from their discussion, the reader learns a lot about the old man and also about the others. The old man is a drunken. This can be depicted from the fact that the waiters describe him as a good client and they knew that if he became too drunk, he would go without paying. From the waiters' dialogue, they said that the old man is drunk every night. He is suicidal; he attempted killing himself using a rope though his son rescued him. He is also desperate as the waiters said that he had no good reason for attempting suicide but he had despaired in life (Shawna). From the story, the old man is stubborn or adamant. When the waiter told him that if he took another brandy he would get drunk, he didn't leave but instead, he waited for the waiter to bring the brandy. He is also forlorn as he always went to the café alone and sat alone in his table. We can also say that he is unhappy with his life hence the reason he wanted to commit suicide (Shawna).
The old waiter is also a forlorn; he does not like going home early as he has nobody to go to. He also likes to stay late at night at the café and he also walks home alone. He is empathetic; when the younger waiter was unwilling to sell another brandy to the old man, he asked him to let him get what he wanted. When the younger waiter suggested that the old man would be better with a wife, the old waiter tells him that a wife may not do him any good. The old waiter feels that the young/hurried waiter should have left the man stay for an extra hour and drink some more. This shows that he really felt that some more drink would help the old man. He has some inferiority complex. He feels that the hurried waiter was better than him since he claimed that he had everything. The old waited said he had nothing but work whilst the hurried waiter was young and had confidence in addition to work.
The young or the hurried waiter is rude, when he was asked why the old man wanted to kill himself, he asked rudely "how would I know?"; he said an old man is a nasty thing. He is sarcastic, he asked his colleague whether he didn't mind going home before the usual hour since he knew had difficulties finding sleep.
Narrator uses the person omniscient style as he lets the reader into the thoughts and feelings of the character. It is clear that the old waiter is concerned about the old man and others who want to stay in the café and pubs late at night. The hurried waiter feels that the old man should have killed himself; he also doesn't like old people and also feels that a wife would be a good remedy to the old man. The narrator uses dialogue; from the conversation of the waiters, we learn that the old man is a drunken, he wanted to commit suicide and that he has a niece who takes care of him. There is also use of biblical illusion, this can be illustrated where the old waiter says the lords' prayer in a twisted way; "Our nada who art in nada, nada be thy name thy kingdom nada thy will be nada in nada as it is in nada……….." use of monologue; the old waiter continues to talk to himself after he says goodnight to the hurried waiter. (Shawna)
The old waiter is willing to let the old man stay and drink but the hurried waiter is against it. The old waiter does not mind staying late at night and actually that what he likes. On the contrary the hurried waiter wants to go to bed and to his wife. Both the old man and the old waiter are lonely and they want to stay up at night. This conflict is resolved when the old waiter allows to stay longer and drink some more and this is also the climax of the story.
The setting is in a town or in the urban setting. There is a cafe which is clean. There are streets with street lights where the guard and the girl passed. There is a steam coffee machine at the pub where the old waiter went to have a drink after he left work.
The theme of the story is that there lonely people who have despaired in life and they just want to stay up late at night as they have problems getting sleep.

Q: How to write an annotation with members in PlantUML? I want to write an annotation with members in PlantUML. Specifically, I want to describe this Java code in PlantUML:
public @interface Foo {
    String bar();
    String baz();
}

I tried to write it in PlantUML, but it causes syntax error:
@startuml
annotation Foo {
    String bar()
    String baz()
}
@enduml

However, it's working when I omit the members:
@startuml
annotation Foo
@enduml

What should I do? Thanks.

A: In PlantUML, annotations can not have members (hence the syntax error).
To display a UML diagram for your code, you will need to use another solution, like adding the annotation as a separate entity:
@startuml
annotation interface

class Foo {
    String bar();
    String baz();
}

interface -- Foo
@enduml

Or include the annotation in the class name definition:
@startuml
class "@interface Foo" as Foo {
    String bar();
    String baz();
}
@enduml

A: It's possible to write annotations with members now: http://www.plantuml.com/plantuml/uml/SoWkIImgAStDuKhCoyilIIp9pCzJSClFLwZcKW22u9AYpBnqXQJ48WrDL84ge40jbqDgNWfGCm00

A: The code has a few issues: 1) props.onSelect(props.id) inside onClick. Instead you should give a referance to that function. 2) You didn't have anything in database state before you click delete button. That is why ... spread operator didn't work 3) You are displaying props.database instead of database state. That is way the changes didn't show up even after you deleted a bookdata. I also fixed some small issues. Now it is working perfectly:
// !! you can put all the code into one file and run for testing.
// !! I removed stylings as I didn't have the source

Superb point-to-point cycling in south-west France from the medieval fortress of Carcassonne, through a land of imposing Cathar castles and pretty villages, to the Mediterranean coast and historic town of Perpignan.
French cuisine - Enjoy wine tasting and local delicacies.
Our trip starts at our accommodation in Carcassonne with an evening walking tour and free time to visit one of the region's most visually spectacular settings, the walled fortress of Carcassonne. Historically this was one of the most important and powerful cities in the south, before the all-consuming Albigensian Crusade against the Cathars saw the town fall to the notorious onslaught of Simon de Montfort's forces. We will see its medieval remains and enjoy the unique heritage of what is surely one of the most perfectly preserved towns of its kind anywhere in France. The city holds a wealth of delights, from the twin towers of the Porte Narbonnaise, spectacular Chateau Comtal in the heart of La Cite, to some of the best medieval stained glass in the Midi at the Basilique St. Nazaire.
If you wish to drive to the start of the trip please ask us for parking details.
If you have booked an optional e-bike, you will be required to pay the €250 or £250 cash deposit and sign an agreement of care upon receipt of the bike.
Today we have a cycle ride into the hills to visit the village of Lastours. Located here are four towers of the Cathar Castle set on a rocky spur above the village of Lastours, isolated by the deep valleys of the Orbeil and Gresilhou rivers. They were built perched along a rocky escarpment just 400 metres long and 50 metres wide. Cabaret, Surdespine and la Tour Regine castles stand in line, while Quertinheux is built on a separate pinnacle close by. Our cycle route passes an excellent view point on the opposite side of the valley to these ancient monuments. The site has been classified 'un monument historique' by the French Ministry of Culture and archaeological digs are still taking place here today. After time spent here to view this wonderful site, we cycle back via Villemoustaussou to Carcassonne. If you prefer there is the option not to join the cycling today and further explore Carcassonne instead.
Our total cycling distance today is 43 kilometres (total 579 metres ascent).
This morning we have a linear cycle ride south into the Corbièrès hills with a gentle ascent following the River Aude valley. En route we stop at Limoux, famous for the local sparkling vintage, before heading to Couiza and Rennes-les-Bains, where we have the opportunity to enjoy the healing qualities of the hot springs that flow out of the hill side into a pool in the river. From here we cycle to the small village of Sougraigne and our accommodation for the next two nights.
The family of the village Auberge hosts our stay here, providing meals, and optional picnics (€7), sharing their way of life in the hills with us. The comfortable rooms share bathroom facilities and some rooms sleep between 2 and 5 people, so some room sharing is required.
Our total cycling distance today is 58 kilometres (total 827 metres ascent).
Today we have a longer and more demanding circular cycle route to see Rennes-le-Chateau and Puivert Castle. After a short ride from our accommodation, we stop and explore Rennes-le-Chateau which is steeped in Cathar history. The castle has been made particularly famous in recent years for claims involving Blanche of Castile, the Knights Templar, suggested treasures from the Temple of Solomon and Holy Grail stories. Well-known French authors like Jules Verne and Maurice Leblanc are suspected of leaving clues in their novels about their knowledge of the 'mystery' of Rennes-le-Chateau. After passing through Esperaza, our next cycle stop is the 12th century Chateau de Puivert which had strong links to both Cathars and Troubadours. The present castle was built by the Bruyere family around 1310 and is still in relatively good condition.The Troubadours museum of musical instruments is well worth a visit before our return cycle over the hills and through the valleys back to our accommodation. If you prefer, there is an option to shorten the ride and take a self-guided route to visit the surrounding villages (40 km) or take free time to relax.
Our total cycling distance today is 83 kilometres (total 1489 metres ascent).
Leaving Sougraigne this morning, we cycle south-east on a journey to find where the mountains meet the sea. Riding through small villages we pass the foot of Pic de Bugarach, the highest summit in the Corbieres hills with a peak at 1230 metres. It is known as the 'upside down mountain' because the top layers of rock are older than the lower layers due to uplift of the Pyrenees. Continuing our cycle we then pass the two imposing castles of Peyrepertuse and Queribus. Peyrepertuse is a ruined fortress and has been associated with the Counts of Narbonne and Barcelona. The name Peyrepertuse derives from an ancient language called Occitan and means Pierced Rock. Peyrepertuse and its neighbour, Queribus are known as two of the 'five sons of Carcassonne' castles which were fortified by the French in 1242 to protect the border from Spain. From here we have around 45 kilometres of gentle cycle descent before we reach the historical town of Perpignan on the Mediterranean coast and our accommodation for the next three nights.
Our total cycling distance today is 96 kilometres (total 1108 metres ascent).
After breakfast we set off on our bikes, heading east following a cycle path along the side of the River Tet. Passing through small towns and villages, we arrive at the coast near Canet-en-Roussillon. There is the chance to stop at one of the beaches of Canet Plage or La Marenda for a relaxing swim en route. We continue to cycle round the lake in the Nature Reserve and follow the cycle paths back to our accommodation in Perpignan. Alternatively you can opt out of cycling today and spend the day exploring Perpignan. Founded in the 10th century the town has a rich past and was once the ancient capital of the Counts of Roussillon. Particularly worth visiting are the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist and the 13th century Palace of the Kings of Majorca. It is also possible for you to take the train (pay locally) from Perpignan to visit the old Roman town of Narbonne.
Our total cycling distance today is 46 kilometres (total 197 metres ascent).
Our cycle ride today takes us south east towards the famous artistic town of Collioure. Pedalling through small towns we arrive at the coast between St-Cyprien and Argelès-sur-Mer and along this stretch of coast, we pass a number of good beaches where we can stop for a swim, before we arrive into the town. Here we finish riding and spend the afternoon exploring the quaint streets, famous for attracting artists such as Matisse, Derain, Picasso and Charles Rennie Mackintosh. At the end of a relaxing day, take the short train journey back to Perpignan.
Our total cycling distance today is 34 kilometres (total 277 metres ascent).
Our trip finishes after breakfast in Perpignan.
Across France, from April - August, weather conditions are generally warm and pleasant with moderate rainfall; Autumn temperatures are a bit lower and the winter months (though colder) remain mild. The summer months on the Mediterranean Coast in the south tend to be warmer than the rest of France and have less rainfall, and also more mild winters; freezing conditions are nearly unheard of. The mountainous areas of the Alps, Juros and Pyrenees can be quite different. During summer the morning and evening temperatures are considerably cooler and it becomes much colder in winter with heavy snowfall. Western France, along the English Channel, there can be very strong winds and frequent rain during the winter months Nov - Apr. Wine harvesting takes place in late August/early September.
Pack essentially for hot weather. During the day you can expect to live in T-shirts and shorts, but you may wish to bring smart casual wear for the evenings. Bring a warm fleece for cool evenings and raingear for occasional rain. May, June and September may be slightly cooler. Please note that French health regulations require that men wear 'proper' (Lycra) swimming trunks in pools and not shorts.
If you are not bringing cycle shoes then try to bring stiff-soled shoes as these are better for cycling - transmitting your energy into the pedals more efficiently. This becomes more relevant and recommended the more demanding the grade and distances to cover. SPD cycle shoes are not well suited to trips that combine sightseeing with cycling. Comfortable shoes, trainers, sandals or flip flops are useful when not on the bike.
We recommend you bring a daypack and one main piece of luggage (total allowance: 44lb/20kg) which will be transported between hotels while you cycle. Check the bike details section to see if a pannier or handlebar bag is provided on the bike. Remember, you are expected to carry your own luggage - don't overload yourself.
On all Explore cycle holidays we strongly recommend you bring along and wear your cycle helmet. In case of an accident resulting in personal injury, certain insurance policies are invalidated in cases where a helmet was not being worn. Cycle glasses to protect against dust, pollen and the sun, padded cycle gloves and a water bottle or water delivery system (e.g. camelback or platypus) are also useful. You may choose to bring your own gel seat cover for added comfort. If a handle bar bag or pannier is not provided (check bike details) then you may like to bring a small rucksack to wear while cycling. Other items to consider bringing are a sunhat and sun cream, torch, earplugs and insect repellent. Please carry some or all of your cycling equipment e.g. helmet as part of your hand luggage. A swim towel for hot springs, pools and the beach would be useful.
Although entirely voluntary, tipping is a recognised part of life in this region of the world. Some local staff will look to members of the group for personal recognition of particular services provided. In order to make things easier for you, the Explore Leaders may organise a group's tips kitty and if this is the case, they will account for it throughout the trip.
Pounds Sterling and US Dollars can only be changed in larger airports with a Bureau de Change. Please change currency into Euros prior to arriving in France.
Bureau de Change can only be found in major cities and large airports. Many French banks no longer exchange Foreign currency.
Travellers Cheques are no longer commonly accepted and can only be changed in larger airports with a Bureau de Change.
Arrival - Carcassonne. Departure - Perpignan. Transfers are included for these designated airports. If flying to/from Toulouse there are no transfers, but it is possible to make your own way by train to start and from end towns.
France: Visas are not required by UK, EU, Australian, New Zealand, US and Canadian citizens. Other nationalities should consult their local embassy or consular office.
Nothing compulsory. Tetanus recommended. Please check the latest requirements with your travel clinic or doctor prior to departure. The above is not an exhaustive list. Further information regarding vaccinations and travel health advice can be found by following the NHS and NaTHNaC links at Explore Travel Health and from your local healthcare provider. Visa and vaccination requirements are subject to change and should be confirmed by you before travelling.
On this trip we cycle 394 km over 6 days (an average of 65 km per day). The terrain is fairly hilly with the biggest ascents on days 4 and 5 and finishing with flatter rides for the last 2 days. We cycle on a mixture of tarmac roads and dedicated cycle paths. Maps are provided to cycle individually or in groups while the tour leader drives the support vehicle, except on circular routes when the tour leader will cycle with the group. We have graded the route as moderate to challenging. GPX files are available for this holiday.
21 gear RTE 520 hybrid bikes with front suspension.
Electric bikes (e-bikes) are available for an additional cost for the duration of the holiday. Please contact us for more details or to request your e-bike.
Your included bike is a 21 gear RTE 520 hybrid and will be the correct frame size for your height. These are unisex step-through frames, but women's step through frames are available, but are limited in number and size and may vary in bike type - please request at time of booking. A 15-litre pannier and water bottle holder are included as well as the facility to fit your own pedals or saddle if you wish to bring them. A support vehicle carries the luggage from point to point and is driven by the Explore Leader. Maps are provided to cycle individually or as a group. We provide spare parts and take care of the day to day maintenance. All you need to bring is your own helmet and water bottle. Electric bikes (available for an additional cost) will be the similar RTE 700 unisex step-through frame bikes with front and rear suspension fitted with a 250watt Geonaute 8FUN motor. You will be required to pay a refundable cash 250 Euro or GBP deposit upon collection of the e-bike in country. Please contact us for more details or to request your e-bike.
Unlike many other operators, we include the hire of your bike in the overall cost of the holiday: you don't need to bring your own or pay extra to hire one locally. We also provide a support vehicle, spare parts and take care of day to day bike maintenance. All you need bring is your own helmet.

The Great Lady passes
The last time I saw Maggie
I first heard that Maggie had passed away when BBC Radio Derby called me for a comment, so the news came as a bit of a shock. But while I have always admired her enormously, I had met her only rarely and briefly over the years, so I was almost taken aback by the very real and immediate sense of personal bereavement and loss which hit me. After swallowing hard, I recalled for the BBC one of those personal contacts — the occasion twenty years ago in Seoul, Korea, at a British Chamber of Commerce breakfast, when Korean journalists and photographers were milling round her in a state of chaos. They were having trouble coping with the idea of a woman who was also a Head of Government and a global figure. But she got them sorted out and into line with a few crisp, well-chosen words. Korean men are not reared to respect women, but they recognise the stamp of authority when they see it.
On April 11th, I was speaking at a UKIP energy meeting in Bedford, and Local Chairman George Konstandinidis started the event with a minute's silence for Maggie. I was delighted to find that a UKIP meeting was happy to show that degree of cross-party respect for Lady Thatcher.
Yet she is so often misrepresented. Both euro-fanatics and climate alarmists love to claim the endorsement of major political figures, often without justification. I have lost count of the times I've been told in Brussels that Winston Churchill supported the idea of European Union. He did indeed call for European integration, to prevent France and Germany from going to war with each other yet again, but he had no more idea of Britain forming part of that union, and ceding sovereignty to Brussels, than of flying to the moon.
Similarly, climate alarmists love to claim that Lady Thatcher was on their side. True, she was one of the earliest world leaders to identify a possible issue with climate — but also, with her customary clarity and incisiveness, one of the first to see through it. This what she wrote as early as 2002:
The doomsters' favourite subject today is climate change. This has a number of attractions for them. First, the science is extremely obscure so they cannot easily be proved wrong. Second, we all have ideas about the weather: traditionally, the English on first acquaintance talk of little else. Third, since clearly no plan to alter climate could be considered on anything but a global scale, it provides a marvellous excuse for worldwide, supra-national socialism. All this suggests a degree of calculation. Yet perhaps that is to miss half the point. Rather, as it was said of Hamlet that there was method in his madness, so one feels that in the case of some of the gloomier alarmists there is a large amount of madness in their method. — Margaret Thatcher, Statecraft, HarperCollins 2002
It is a tragedy that Lady T's passing has been the occasion for unreconstructed leftists, Commies and assorted Trots to celebrate their opposition to her memory. Their behaviour has been beyond the bounds of both politics and decency. They have formed a Coalition of the Ignorant, the Small-Minded and the Mean-Spirited. There is little they can do, of course, to demean her memory, which will shine on like a beacon long after her critics are forgotten, but they demean and debase themselves, and in the process they also demean their country. We are all the poorer for their actions.
I am struck in particular by the Union leaders from the mining industry, who criticise Lady T as if they thought that they (and perhaps their children and grandchildren) had a divine right to mining jobs in perpetuity, whether or not the coal was there, and whether or not it could be economically extracted. Writing as UKIP's energy spokesman, I am rather keen on coal, but I accept that its extraction and supply have to be subject to normal commercial criteria, and we all have to recognise that no one has a right to a job for life.
The BBC has not distinguished itself over the issue of the Wizard of Oz song, which has been "Chart-Jacked" (I believe this is term) in order to get it played on Radio 1. There appears to be a clash here between freedom of speech on the one hand, and common decency on the other. But I think the proper response would have been straightforward. The chart is meant to reflect public preferences in music. The Witch song is clearly and demonstrably a political stunt, not an æsthetic preference, and therefore it has no place in a music programme. It has already had too much coverage on news programmes.
I personally should not have had the temerity to lay claim to Maggie's legacy on behalf of my new Party. But I was glad to see that Fraser Nelson, the distinguished Editor of the Spectator, did just that in a Telegraph article. He pointed out that Maggie listened to the voters. She spoke in clear and accessible language about the issues that concern ordinary people. She struck a chord with MondeoMan. And love her or hate her, you knew where she stood. None of today's party leaders seems to have any of those qualities, as they huddle together on the shrinking "middle ground". None, says Fraser Nelson, except Nigel Farage. "Margaret Thatcher listened to the voters", he writes. "Now it's Nigel Farage who hears their despair".
Perhaps it's time for UKIP to pick up the Torch so recklessly abandoned by the Tory Party.

Perhaps as UKIP energy spokesman you could comment on this news item please?
Is this decision worthy of an appeal?
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/greenpolitics/planning/9994739/Judge-gives-energy-firms-the-right-to-build-wind-farms-350-metres-from-homes.html
See my Tweet: Now a judge makes a wicked decision on wind turbines: http://is.gd/1cucUU . Even though we're starting to understand how useless they are.
Phil J says:
Sadly Roger, "respect" is a word, a notion and a way of life that is fast disappearing in this country. Those, including Union leaders, ought to hang their heads in shame at their grossly disrespectful behaviour!
grumpydenier says:
Plus, of course, Tony Benn closed more coal mines than Maggie ever did. Needless to say, it would be interesting to imagine the Miners' Leaders' reactions to the EU directives virtually guaranteeing the closure of the UK's mines to conform with their stupid CO2 initiatives.
Not that Germany worries about such things, as long as their wheels of industry keep rolling.
Yes, wasn't Tony Blair lucky? Because if Maggie hadn't withdrawn taxpayer subsidies for worked-out pits, he'd have had to choose between his beloved EU and his miners' union backers. Labour should really be very, very grateful to Maggie, the thankless gits.
Off topic, but have you seen this Chatham House report in biofuels in the UK?
"The Trouble with Biofuels: Costs and Consequences of Expanding Biofuel Use in the United Kingdom
http://www.chathamhouse.org/sites/default/files/public/Research/Energy,%20Environment%20and%20Development/0413pp_biofuels.pdf
Another expensive and useless folly which we are locked into courtesy of the EU and which national governments are powerless to do anything about.
Haven't seen this particular one, but even the European Commission is starting to realise that bio-fuels have serious down-sides.
Once again Roger I find myself agreeing to everything you have said. My dealings with the present lot who "run" the country about the injustice of my frozen state pension and the fact that just a few expats are victims of this discrimination, leave me feeling that all politicians are hypocrites and liars, but you and Nigel, do indeed, come across as the total opposite to these self serving millionaires who are out of touch with us folk in the real world. Maggie did nothing about the injustice of the frozen 4%, but she was a strong defender of Britain and did not lie to us and she had "balls", David Cameron and his buds are sadly lacking in that department.
Good to see Godfrey Bloom UKIP MEP telling the EU Parliament the truth about the stall in global warming – at the same time accusing the chairman of being a "denier". Priceless! Only 1m 23s
Well, I think Godfrey should stop beating around the bush and just tell them what he thinks of them! 😉
But this is why UKIP is doing so well in the polls. The Westminster elite can't seem to comprehend this, stuck as they are in their sumptuous cocoon, but I'll save them the cost of all those expensive pollsters and analysts and consultants, and explain it all for free: UKIP's representatives are saying what Joe public is saying.
MiliBalls may burble on about "one nation", but I feel a stronger sense of affinity with someone who stands up in the European Parliament and says, "You're all talking a load of cobblers" than with all these clever dicks explaining why black is white, the moon is made of cheese, and the fact that the earth is cooling down proves that it's getting hotter.
James Hutchinson says:
Roger ,
I agree with everything you say in your article . I have no doubt that these mindless morons will do their best to disrupt Lady Thatcher's funeral because as you state , respect is sadly a thing of the past . What I did notice from news items showing the " rent a mob " individuals , was that 80% of them were not even born or were still in nappies when the great lady was in power ! They ONLY represent all that is wrong with this country . Scargill did for the miners what "Red" Robbo did for the car industry ; both dinosaurs of the times .
What I noticed about all those kiddies "protesting" (against what exactly — and, for the record, it's the first time I saw a piss up called a "protest") is that it wasn't about the Maggie Thatcher I voted for, but about some pantomime villain, who ate babies for breakfast and "stole milk from the children" dontcha know. It was so absurd, I wanted to dress up as Wishy Washy and hold up a sign saying "SHE'S BEHIND YOU!"


Roux-en-Y (pronounced "ROO-en-why") gastric bypass surgery restricts food intake by creating a small pouch at the top of the stomach.
Roux-en-Y (pronounced "ROO-en-why") gastric bypass surgery restricts food intake by creating a small pouch at the top of the stomach. The rest of the stomach stays in your body.
The formed pouch is then connected to a section of the small intestine, allowing food to bypass the lower stomach and the first two parts of the small intestine.
Most gastric bypasses are performed using laparoscopy, a minimally invasive surgical technique performed through very small incisions in the abdomen.
Fifty to 80 percent of excess body weight is lost within two years.
Most obesity-related health conditions, such as diabetes, high blood pressure and sleep apnea, and joint pain improve or disappear completely.
With Roux-en-Y surgery, the stomach and intestines are cut and then reconnected using staples and stitches. If they tear or heal improperly, bleeding and peritonitis (inflammation of the inner abdominal wall) can occur, causing serious complications or even death.
Scar tissue or intestinal twisting can cause intestinal blockage.
After two years, you may regain 10 to 30 pounds and experience an increased appetite due to the pouch stretching over this time.
Food bypasses the small intestine, which is responsible for absorbing protein, calcium and certain vitamins. As a result, vitamin and mineral absorption declines. You must take daily vitamin and mineral supplements forever. Annual blood tests are necessary to check nutrients to ensure health.
Before my surgery I was a diabetic, I had sleep apnea, high blood pressure, and lots of busy pain from carrying around 450 pounds.
My surgery was in June of 2016. I wanted to get the gastric sleeve bypass surgery for a few years and it didn't seem possible. I missed some of my doctor appointments and had to start over a couple times. I even gave up at one point.
Then I was approved for the surgery. That is when I knew my life would be forever changed.
It has been 10 months and I have lost over 150 pounds. I go to the gym at least twice a week. My asthma is all but gone. I can accept challenges athletically and not feel like I'm going to die.
I feel much better and see a bright future now, not death before I'm 70. I have a much better life in general.
I do have to admit that I still struggle with my eating habits. But, I feel like I have a chance to keep working on that. Every day is a fight, but now for different reasons.


There are a vast number of techniques users can use to conceal their actions that are well documented on the Internet. While some techniques are quite simple, there are others that can be highly technical, generally written by members of the "blackhat" community. This group of tools and techniques, when employed by a user in a deliberate fashion in order to thwart investigation, is known as anti-forensics.
Anti-forensics methods can include using software to securely delete files, making changes to time stamps on a computer through software or systems built into an operating system, deleting or altering logs, using file, folder, or volume encryption on a drive, and using tools built into bootable flash drives or CDs to alter data.
If an employee uses anti-forensics techniques in an effort to cover up illegal activities before their data is collected in an investigation, the time and cost of the investigation can increase drastically. Bryan and his colleagues have identified a handful of proactive and reactive steps to mitigate anti-forensics efforts and reduce costs stemming from internal investigations.
Implement Effective IT Policies. IT policies that limit what applications can be used, what external devices can be accessed, and whether employees have administrative rights on the computer all help. It is important to balance security needs with usability needs and understand that employees require a certain level of accessibility and flexibility to be effective in their jobs.
Enable Detection. There are numerous tools for monitoring employee actions that prevent and detect security incidents. For many companies, these tools provide timely notifications of significant threats.
Collect ASAP. It is of the utmost importance in a forensic investigation for pertinent digital media to be collected as soon as possible. The investigation team (typically comprised of a group of internal stakeholders from legal, IT, and security departments, along with trusted external providers and outside counsel) should make every effort to ensure that any data that could be relevant to the matter be forensically preserved immediately.
Leverage Expertise. In the cases where a corporation has suffered from anti-forensics activities, bringing in digital forensics experts to help is critical. Skilled forensic investigators have the knowledge and ability to discover and work around many anti-forensics techniques.

Do you remember back in 2008 when Paul and I took care of 50 baby parrots for a couple of weeks? I wrote about the experience here and here and here. When they left our care I wrote about them here.
When they were about a year old Conrehabit released them to the wild, but a few were evaluated as either being too tame or physically unable to live in the wild. That's how we ended up with Pancho and Lefty. Pancho always seemed just fine to us, but Lefty has a twisted right foot so he obviously needs to live in captivity. We have enjoyed having them, and most of the time their shared cage has been out on our back patio, where we spend a substantial amount of time.
In November of 2009 I was visiting in Mexico City and Paul had stayed home. He was cleaning the cage one day and both birds escaped! Lefty couldn't fly well and was recaptured from a bush in our yard but Pancho was long gone. He went fast and furious and never looked back. We were upset, but figured that he knew best if he was ready to live in the wild.
A couple days later our friends and bloggers Sandie and Mike saw him and wrote a blog post about it! They lived just two blocks from us and we assumed he would eventually join up with a flock that occupies some big trees a few more blocks over.
Fast forward to mid April 2010 – one morning I heard Lefty chirping regularly, and it was like he was talking or calling to another bird. I looked and looked and saw nothing. Then in the middle of the day I was out near his cage and realized that there was a bird talking back to him! Again I searched and searched and finally found Pancho, sitting in a tree just a few feet from me!
I got a dish of food and attached it to a branch. You could tell he was very tempted! After probably 15 minutes he decided to go for the food. He tried to fly but fluttered to the ground and looked relieved when I picked him up and placed him in our extra cage. He was dehydrated and hungry and his feathers were a mess! He had obviously had a hard time of it, especially one whole day where he tried and tried to get my attention without leaving his post!
We kept the two birds separated over night just in case Pancho was terminally ill or something, but the next day they got to share the same cage, like before. They seem happy, and Pancho will make little cooing sounds when I come over to the cage sometimes.
So that's the story of Pancho, the Half Moon Conure.
…methinks the lady doth protest too much….
Thanks for the update. Your rescue effort with the birds in 2008 was a perfect reflection of your kindness. And it continues to show.
Thanks, Steve. Now….aren't you supposed to be working now???
I am. But your post came up during a break.
Even in the work world, there is joy.
I lived in San Juan del Rio, Queretaro for almost a year. In 2008 my mother-in-law's two half-moon conure's escaped. My mother-in-law was heart-broken.
Like yours, one of the parrots was captured quickly, about three days after his escape. We considered ourselves lucky to have found one and assumed that the other had not survived. We lived in a very rural area and imagined several possibilities: he could have been eaten by predators, shot by hunters, or have starved to death. I figured that a bird born and raised in captivity would have a hard time finding food on his own.
One day, after a couple months had passed, my mother-in-law was doing laundry outside at her "lavadero" when she noticed that Carlitos was a bit restless. He squawked quite a bit and did not seem like himself that morning. His behavior continued throughout the day, and finally she realized that his companion was in a nearby tree. She was able to entice him with some sunflower seeds and he came back!
Awwww… I love happy endings!! That is so wonderful. Like an adolescent, Pancho got to go off and try life on his own and had the smarts to get back to mom when it wasn't going well. You made my day, that makes me so happy.
Steve, I know, I was only teasing you.
Leslie, It is sweet, isn't it?
Amber, That is so funny that your mother in law had the exact same experience! Thanks for sharing!
Jonna, Yes, we are so glad to have him back. And I don't know if you know conures, but they can be LOUD. And since Pancho is back they seem to make less noise… more contented, maybe?
Awwww, I just love these stories!
Yeah! Tango has escaped twice and we were able to get him right away. I remember when Pancho left so I am happy that he is back with you and Lefty. Oh, if he could only tell you of his adventures.
Those baby bird pictures are priceless!! Babysitting FIFTY of them? Are you a "birdbrain" or what?? Kidding, of course, and how can you not chuckle just by looking at those developing little guys. It always feels so good to be taken outside one's self, to do a kind thing for another; be it two legged, four legged or winged.
Nancy – your story is making me cry. It reminded me of when Sitka was missing in Guaymas. I'm so happy for you and Paul!
Damn those birds are cute!
That is an amazing story! They look so happy to be back together again!
If an animal is trying to escape, it is because he is unhappy. Why, oh why do people of this world think that birds, whose joy is to fly and cover miles in a minute, want to sit in cages? We give them a few minutes a day, and they are supposed to be SO happy to be with humans, that they like sitting in cages the rest of the time. Pancho seems to want to be fed and at the same time, have some freedom. I would like to ask you to give them a bigger living space than a cage. Thanks.
Cynthia, Yes, a story with a happy ending is a good one!
Tancho, I love the one with all the birds perched on the edge of their cage… and the one with the big tummy!
Cheryl, They really seem happy to be back together. Pancho will eat anything now and he is teaching picky eater Lefty to clean his plate!
Bois, I don't think you know the situation with these birds, they were among 500 birds that had been stolen from the wild by people attempting to take them to the US to sell. Our local preservation group cared for 300 of them – and we cared for some of the very youngest. When they were released to the wild, Conrehabit decided these two couldn't make it on their own, and we were happy to take them. Their cage would be ample for a large Macaw, it is about 3 feet by 5 feet, so they have more than enough room. They can even fly in there. They live outside but under a roof, and we and the dogs are nearby lots of the day. I believe that Pancho startled himself by flying off when he did and the fact that he eventually found his way home also speaks to his happiness where he is. I believe there are people who might need to hear your admonitions but know we aren't among them.
We too took care of the conrehabitat parrots.


Lungtok, a monk from the restive Kirti monastery in Ngaba, and another Tibetan, believed to be a layperson and identified as Tashi, torched themselves at around 6:00 p.m. local time to highlight their opposition to Chinese rule in Tibetan-populated areas, a Tibetan source in the area told RFA.
"A large contingent of police and armed PSB [Public Security Bureau] personnel arrived at the site of the self-immolation and imposed stern restrictions in the area," the source said.
A woman who answered the phone at the Aba police department denied that any immolations or clashes between police and Tibetans had taken place, according to The Associated Press. Forty-eight Tibetans have self-immolated since March 2011, according to The New York Times, and many of the incidents have taken place near the Kirti monastery in Aba as Tibetans in the region have grown tired of Chinese rule.
Witnesses to the Monday assault described the Chinese police who attacked the Tibetans as "drunk," local sources told RFA, speaking on condition of anonymity.
"On Aug. 13, local police, who appeared to be drunk, stopped four Tibetans traveling in their vehicle and harshly questioned them," sources said.

I was a new mom who had much trouble finding the natural baby products that I feel were safe for my little guy. I don't like plastic, wastefulness, synthetic materials or consumerism, so why would I choose these things for my baby? Going to register at Babies 'R Us (the only option at the time) almost made me sick to my stomach to see how few options there were that met my standards. I wanted quality products that would not end up in the landfill!
I started Teeny Greeny in 2008 because I wanted "crunchy" people like me in the Kansas City area to be able to buy green products from someone locally. When I was shopping for these unique items, the only option was the internet. Being the granola-mom that I am, I wanted to "shop local," but it was impossible.
I want you to be able to see and touch things before you buy them, especially something like a cloth diaper or a sling! I want you to have a real person to answer your questions face to face. This poses a challenge with an online store, but I've had a great response to this new business model over the last 10 years. You can shop online if you know what you want, and choose local pickup (getting your goodies sooner and cheaper than shopping online only), or you can make an appointment to shop or sit down for a cloth diaper consultation in my showroom with me to answer any questions. I am more than happy answer questions via email, phone or in person.
In 2012 we acquired Peachy Keen Diapers from the wonderful Ashley Fuller, and added a second location at Mommy Shop in south Overland Park. This spot offers regular business hours and a more traditional shopping experience for our customers. We also offer cloth diaper consultations and classes at this location.
I also want you to be able to find as many natural baby products in one place, and since we have opened, we have added new products to the inventory every single month! Any suggestions for what you want to see next? We also offer a baby registry so you can let friends and family know what you really want for your baby!
More about me... Part of my passion for 'green' stems from my belief that we are given a responsibility to care for this earth, which I believe was designed as a beautiful picture that points us toward the Creator. We are stewards of our land, water and air, as well as our bodies, and we should treat these things as though they are God's, and not our own to destroy with our wastefulness, apathy or carelessness.
Prior to starting Teeny Greeny, I started New Creation Doula Services and was a full-time birth doula since 2002 and also did birth photography. I occasionally still take clients if we are a good match. I was a babywearing, cosleeping, extended breastfeeding, nature-loving momma while my son was young. My inner hippie is coming out more and more as I learn about natural lifestyle choices that are safer and simpler for us. Often my conversations revolve around natural labor and birth, sustainable and green living, alternative medicine, essential oils, organic food, and most recently, parenting and education styles. I now homeschool our three boys, and run Teeny Greeny from our home. I feel most alive when I am inspired to create... gardening and cooking, re-purposing old furniture, harvesting herbs for a tincture or salve, knitting a bib, or photographing a child. I come from an entrepreneurial family, so starting my own business was second nature to me. You can find out more about what some of our family members do, including edible organic landscape consulting & education, here, or RevampKC Custom Tile.

Popular Romcoms on Netflix
By Brian Campbell Last updated May 26, 2022
A well sought-after romcom is always the perfect watch. Sometimes, you can be lucky enough to catch a popular romantic comedy on live TV (click here for TV aerial installation). However, other times, you must approach the wild world of Netflix and wow, that can be hard to navigate through! Luckily for you, we have compiled a list of some of the most popular romcoms on Netflix to make it easier. You're welcome!
She's the Man
The nostalgia will be sure to rush back when you click play on this classic 2006 romcom starring Amanda Bynes and Channing Tatum, especially seeing Channing Tatum as his 26-year-old self! When Viola (Bynes) is no longer able to continue her passion for soccer (football) due to her school team being cut, the only reasonable solution is to, umm, impersonate her brother and join a boys' team?
All goes according to plan, well slightly. She has the sideburns, the uniform, the hairstyle, and debatably, the voice of a boy, but can she mask her feminine side when she starts to develop feelings for her roommate Duke? We can't blame her! Who could resist Channing Tatum after all?
He's All That
Ironically, Addison Rae stars in this newly released Netflix original as a social media influencer wishing to redeem herself following a live stream outburst with her cheating ex-boyfriend. With a rapid decline in followers, her career begins to go into turmoil which is highlighted by her real-life friend, but sponsor in the film, Kourtney Kardashian.
To remain successful, she attempts the challenge of making a quiet and socially secluded classmate prom king. However, when she realises that they have a bond and starts to develop feelings will her mission to become popular remain, or will her feelings and genuineness come out on top?
What Happens in Vegas
What better setting for a rom-com than Sin City? Even better when the film stars Ashton Kutcher and Cameron Diaz who meet unexpectedly, accompany one another on a drunken night out, and mistakenly…get married. A wild night out if we ever did hear it!
With a firm plan to divorce as soon as they can, their plans are interrupted when Jack (Kutcher) hits the jackpot on a slot machine with Joy's (Diaz) quarter. To split the winnings, they must attempt marriage but is that even possible when the pair despise one another? Or do they? It is only a matter of time before they realise that they really are made for one another.
Holidate
When Sloan Benson (Emma Roberts) receives utmost criticism from her mother for being forever single, an encounter with an uncommitted stranger while returning unwanted Christmas gifts changes everything.
After Sloan discusses with, the newly met, Jackson her aunt's routine of bringing a different date to every family event on each holiday, Jackson suggests, that to assist them both, they do the same. No feelings involved. Ahh, if only it was that easy. As you can presume, like every popular romcom that involves a platonic friendship, their "holiday" plan, well, does not go according to plan!
A high school teen film centred around social exclusion always turns out to be a popular rom-com, doesn't it? When senior student Bianca is informed that she is the "DUFF" of her friend group, she is disheartened to hear that the only reason others would take an interest in her is for a direct route towards her attractive and popular best friends.
As the phrase stands for Designated Ugly Fat Friend, her confidence is knocked. To improve her credibility and social status, she seeks help from a popular football player, Wesley, and in exchange, she will assist him academically. Following the typical storyline, as expected, the pair become invested in one another and slowly become more than friends, but will Wesley diminish his credibility by settling for Bianca?
Set It Up
Have a difficult time at work? Or, do you have an overbearing boss? Well, we have the perfect solution. No, don't suddenly quit your job. Take a leaf out of Harper and Charlie's book and ensure that you divert their attention elsewhere. It should work, well we hope!
When they meet one evening while picking up their bosses' dinner, they reveal to one another that they need a break and agree to attempt to set their superiors up with one another. It all surprisingly went to plan; however, did they anticipate that they would be setting themselves up too!? Check out this popular romcom today to find out.
He's Just Not That into You
Starring fan favourites such as Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Aniston, Ben Affleck, and Drew Barrymore, wow the list truly goes on, it is no surprise why He's Just Not That into You was such a hit when it was released back in 2009. Who are we kidding, it still is! That's why it has made the list.
Following various storylines, the film follows different plots involving romantic relationships that face complexities over time across a group of young adults in their 20s and 30s. We believe that the film's popularity comes from the agreement that we can all relate to a scenario throughout in one way or another. We have all been there! Check it out today if you want a little trip down memory lane.

Here at Buffer HQ, we had our heads focused on baking the next hot thing for you. And we now have it ready. Fresh out of the oven, Buffer for Facebook is now available for everyone.
Buffer for Facebook has been the top requested feature and we were keen to give it the looks and functionality it deserves for you to use it. Little things and attention to detail with picture and thumbnail preview as well as editing of summary and the full word count were key.
Largely developed and designed by our Chief Hacker Tom (you can give him a shout @TomMoor) we are excited to unveil this for you today.
In the same way as Tweets, Buffer now allows you to add Facebook updates to your queue. We will then go ahead, schedule and publish this update for you, at the right time and well spaced out over the day.
Get started and grab a free Buffer for Facebook account.
You can now post the same update to both Facebook and Twitter OR have them posted to either network only – just click on your face to toggle!
We have also reduced clutter on the dashboard to let you focus on writing great content for your followers. From there, you can also get extra space in your Buffer for free, by inviting your friends.
We have also given our browser extensions (Chrome, Safari, Firefox) and dashboard a complete redesign and added some functionality. If you toggle your Facebook Buffer, it will automatically pull in the picture and preview. We tried make it look and feel nearly the same as if you would post to Facebook.com.
You can browse through the pictures, edit the summary text of the preview or insert another link manually.
We have also given your dashboard a complete redesign. We wanted to focus particularly on simplicity and elegance, so you get a better overview of all the Tweets that have been posted.
We also brought the link shortening functionality back right at your dashboard, as well as on your browser extensions. As a last goodie, you can invite your friends with the "gift" icon to get more space in your Buffer for free.
Like many of you, we are waiting eagerly for the Google+ API to be ready, so we can expand the Buffer experience to Google+, LinkedIn and other services.
What do you think of the new Facebook product and features? We would love to hear any thoughts you have on it and.

For many of us, hot styling tools are a catch 22. We know when we use them on a daily basis, we're wreaking havoc on our precious strands, but by not using them our tresses can end up looking like a hot mess. The good news is there is an amazing (very well-known) product that helps solve this daily dilemma – Thermal Protection Spray! With a simple application, you can reduce damage caused by the styling tools, meaning you can style AND protect your hair at the same time.
Without protection, hot styling tools open your hair cuticles. This makes the strand more susceptible to damage and allows much needed moisture to escape. Thermal Protection works by creating a seal that blocks heat's ability to lift the cuticle which allows the hair strand to remain moisturized, keep its elasticity and makes it less prone to breakage.
Although applying Ovation Thermal Protection Spray is relatively straightforward, I've put together some instructions for ease of use.
Use on clean and wet/damp hair.
Gently detangle hair with a wide tooth comb or brush.
Section hair into large pieces.
Spray each section from root to tip. Hold spray around six inches away (use 2-3 pumps per section). Concentrate application on the ends (where hair is most susceptible to damage).
Comb through to distribute the product.
Let air dry or use blow dryer on low setting.
Use flat or curling iron on lowest setting possible for your strands.
Enjoy protected, conditioned, beautifully styled hair!
Ovation's Thermal Protection Spray not only provides protection against hot styling tools, it contains naturally derived, high-quality ingredients that do much more! Our unique, non-greasy formula includes panthenol and hydrolyzed keratin protein that moisturizes, adds softness and increases shine. The peach and pomegranate extracts have anti-oxidant properties that promote healing and repair. Thermal Protection Spray is safe (and actually recommended) for everyday use. While it was formulated to protect against hot styling tools like flat and curling irons, the ingredients included also protect against UV rays. The best part? It's only $14.95!
By following these instructions and applying Thermal Protection daily you can literally beat the heat and keep those strands healthy and hydrated! How about you – how often do you use Thermal Protection?

"Gas to a Spark": Trump, the Alt-Right, & Leaving White Nationalism
— It's Going Down
Filed under: Featured, Interviews, Radio & Podcast, Radio/Podcast
https://ia801503.us.archive.org/5/items/lifeafterhate/lifeafterhate.mp3
We talk with former neo-Nazi Christian Picciolini who is involved in the group "Life After Hate" which helps to transition former white nationalists across the US out of the movement and also educate the public about the growing threat of far-Right violence.
In this interview we talk about how the group lost their grant funding following the election of Donald Trump, the relationship between the Trump administration the Alt-Right and far-Right violence, and also a deep reflection on the white nationalist movement in the late 1980s and early 90s which was extremely violent and carried out various acts of terror and a string of murders.
We also compare the movement then to the Alt-Right now, the class dynamics within white nationalism, connections between wealthy funders, police, celebrities and white power groups, touch on topics such as white anxiety as well as violence, the upcoming 'Unite the Right' protest, and Picciolini also talks about the time he sat down with Richard Spencer and what he learned.

Q: asp.net webgrid header formatting and paging issue I am using the aspx view engine with asp.net MVC 3. I have a WebGrid control that displays my selected records and pages through the selected records properly. Clicking on field header also sorts the data.
The problems:

*

*If am on page two and I click on any of the sortable fields, the grid reloads back to the first page after sorting. I want to keep it on the second page itself while still doing the sort.

*Next to one of the fields, 'Level' as in code below, I want to display an image , which on mouse over will display a static DIV layer behaving like a tool tip describing that field.

There don't seem to be any built in properties for doing these two things. Are there any work arounds? Here is my code:
var grid = new WebGrid(source: Model.EmployeeList, columnNames: new[] { "Name", "Level", "Department"});

grid.GetHtml(tableStyle: "table-EmpStyle", headerStyle: "tr-header", rowStyle: "webGrid-Row", alternatingRowStyle: "webGrid-alt-Row", previousText: "Previous",nextText: "Next", numericLinksCount: 0,
     columns: grid.Columns(
     grid.Column("Name", header: "Full Name"),
     grid.Column( "Level", header: "Level"   ),
     grid.Column("Department", header: "Department") ))

Thanks for your time...

A: You need to set ajaxUpdateContainerId parameter as well to the name of the container where your webgrid is located. For exampe:

    @grid.GetHtml(tableStyle: "table-EmpStyle", headerStyle: "tr-header", rowStyle: "webGrid-Row", alternatingRowStyle: "webGrid-alt-Row", previousText: "Previous",nextText: "Next", numericLinksCount: 0,  ajaxUpdateContainerId: "updateWebGrid"
     columns: grid.Columns(
         grid.Column("Name", header: "Full Name"),
         grid.Column( "Level", header: "Level"   ),
         grid.Column("Department", header: "Department") ))

For your second question, you need to use Format property of your column to inject some class
For example:
@helper CreateImage(string m)
{

@m

}

@grid.GetHtml(columns: new WebGridColumn[]
{
    new WebGridColumn() {ColumnName = "TestTypeId", Header = "Test Type"},
    new WebGridColumn() {ColumnName = "Name", Header = "Name", Format = m => CreateImage(m.Name)}
})

Once you declare this part, you should use jQuery to show your div whenever you hover with your mouse over an img tag with class someImage.
$(document).ready(function() {
    $(".someImage").mouseover(function() {
        $("yourDivId_Or_Class_for_Tooltip").show();
    });

    $(".someImage").mouseout(function() {
        $("yourDivId_Or_Class_for_Tooltip").show();
    });
});

That's about it. I did not check every piece of this code, but this is the logic that you should follow. I wrote a blog article regarding WebGrid, so you can check that for further reference: http://apparch.wordpress.com/2012/01/04/webgrid-in-mvc3/

A:  [Code]
   //Stay on the same page during refresh.
//Keep the page & position.
function refreshPage() {
var page_y = document.getElementsByTagName("body")[0].scrollTop;
window.location.href = window.location.href.split('?')[0] + '?page_y=' +
page_y;
 }
 window.onload = function () {
 setTimeout(refreshPage, 350000);
if (window.location.href.indexOf('page_y') != -1) {
    var match = window.location.href.split('?')[1].split("&")
    [0].split("=");
    document.getElementsByTagName("body")[0].scrollTop = match[1];
   }
}

 $(document).ready(function () {
$('#webGrid tbody').scroll(function (e) { //detect a scroll event on the
   tbody
    /*
   Setting the thead left value to the negative valule of tbody.scrollLeft
   will make it track the movement
   of the tbody element. Setting an elements left value to that of the
    tbody.scrollLeft left makes it maintain it's relative position at the
   left of the table.
   */
    $('#webGrid thead').css("left", -$("tbody").scrollLeft()); //fix the
   thead relative to the body scrolling
    $('#webGrid thead th:nth-child(1)').css("left",
    $("tbody").scrollLeft()); //fix the first cell of the header
    $('#webGrid tbody td:nth-child(1)').css("left",
    $("tbody").scrollLeft()); //fix the first column of tdbody
   });
});
    [/Code]

Dom Angielski (niem. Englisches Haus), niekiedy także "Dom Anielski" – jedna z najbardziej okazałych kamienic mieszczańskich Gdańska, położona przy ul. Chlebnickiej 16 (dawniej Brotbänkengasse). Był największą kamienicą mieszkalną Gdańska sprzed epoki rozbiorów.

Historia
Został zbudowany w latach 1568-1570, w stylu renesansowym, przez pochodzącego z Drezna Hansa Kramera dla kupca Dirka Lylge. Zajął dwie sąsiadujące parcele, dzięki czemu można było zbudować imponującą fasadę o szerokości 15,5 m i wysokości 30 m, w ośmiu kondygnacjach, zwieńczoną czterema szczytami i wysmukłą wieżyczką z ozdobnym hełmem i iglicą.

Elewacja frontowa ozdobiona jest bogatą dekoracją rzeźbiarską. Pary pilastrów wydzielają pary okien, a kondygnacje rozdzielone są wydatnymi gzymsami z dekoracyjnymi fryzami roślinnymi. Pierwotnie kamienne detale elewacji były pozłacane, a płaszczyzny elewacji pokrywały barwne sgraffita. Bogato ozdobione były również cztery szczyty. Wejście do budynku otrzymało wspaniały portal, w formie łuku triumfalnego, flankowany zdwojonymi żłobkowanymi pilastrami z wysuniętą kolumną pośrodku. Portal wykazuje cechy wspólne z portalem "Georgentor" na zamku w Dreźnie, przy budowie którego pracował wcześniej projektant. Zwieńczenie kamienicy ozdobiono postaciami rycerzy trzymającymi tarcze z herbami Dirka Lygle oraz jego żony Elżbiety z Rosenbergów. Całość ponad tympanonem zwieńczyła figura anioła od którego budynek nazywano początkowo Domem Anielskim.  Elewację pierwotnie zdobiły jeszcze sgraffita.

Pierwszy właściciel, Dirk Lylge, zbankrutował w 1586 roku, a jego dom zajęli wierzyciele. W XVII wieku (w latach 1640–1690) część budynku, a zwłaszcza wielką sień wykorzystywali, na wzór założonego wcześniej "Domu Angielskiego" w Hamburgu, na cele targowe, zebrania i nabożeństwa przebywający w Gdańsku kupcy angielscy i szkoccy, i stąd ma pochodzić używana obecnie nazwa budynku. Źródła mówią, że stosownego obiektu już w 1622 poszukiwała w Gdańsku delegacja firmy Baltic Company of London.

Pomimo wielu zachowanych przekazów, że był to rzeczywiście "Dom Angielski", sceptycy jednakże sądzą, że nazwa powstała przez zniekształcenie pierwotnej nazwy "Dom Anielski".

W "Domu Angielskim" m.in. kupiec Karl Gottfried Grischow prowadził skład pełnego asortymentu zagranicznych, zwłaszcza angielskich towarów, mebli i obrazów.

Od 1722 kamienica pełniła funkcję popularnego zajazdu, zaś w 1832 Dom połączony został z budynkiem przy Długim Targu 30 pełniąc rolę hotelu. Np. w 1921 ten adres "Domu Angielskiego" potwierdza wpis dokonany w miejscowym przewodniku. W 2 połowie XIX wieku w hotelu zatrzymała się 24-letnia Jadwiga Łuszczewka (Deotyma), która zaczęła w nim szkicować romansową powieść "Panienka z Okienka" ukończoną w 1891 roku. W 1912 właściciel planował wyburzyć kamienicę, w związku z czym Stowarzyszenie na Rzecz Zachowania Zabytków Budownictwa i Sztuki Gdańska zorganizowało publiczną zbiórkę pieniędzy w celu jej wykupienia, w którą to akcję włączyło się miasto, które wykupiło budynek. W 1912 roku Carl Weber przeprowadził inwentaryzację budynku i sporządził projekt rekonstrukcji fasady. W latach 1927-1928 przeprowadzono konserwację elewacji, wymieniając ok. 40% dekoracji kamieniarskiej.

W 1945 budynek został zniszczony, ocalały jedynie przedproże i cztery dolne kondygnacje fasady z portalem. W latach 1957–1959 kamienica została odbudowana w stanie surowym z zachowaniem ocalałych partii i fragmentów ścian bocznych według projektu architekta Kazimierza Orłowskiego. Fasadę zrekonstruowano w latach siedemdziesiątych XX wieku, jednak nie odtworzono wnętrz. W 2017 roku za kwotę około 500 tys. zł odtworzono pełną kolorystykę elewacji z pozłacanymi elementami dekoracji architektonicznej.

Obecnie w "Domu Angielskim" mieści się Dom Studenta oraz Wydział Grafiki Akademii Sztuk Pięknych w Gdańsku.
