UK Politician: "All Gun Owners Should Kill Themselves"
by Nick Leghorn |
Gun control is a fact of life in the former land of hope and glory. They lost their right to own a gun ages ago, traded it for almost ubiquitous surveillance and the warm comfort of the security state. The UK has become a continuous race to the bottom in terms of gun control legislation. It's like looking into the future of America, if Michael Bloomberg and Vivek Murthy get their way. Recently there was a news report about a game keeper in the UK committing suicide, and while most people commented on the tragedy of the situation, there was one UK politician who celebrated the unfortunate event, and even went so far as to proclaim that in his opinion all gun owners should follow suit and kill themselves. No, really.
An anti-bloodsport campaigner and councillor has provoked fury by claiming that the suicide of a former soldier and game hunter was the 'best use of a gun I can think of'.
Thomas Woodward is facing calls to quit over the 'outrageous' remarks, which were posted on the Hunt Saboteurs Association's Facebook page.
The 48-year-old – a Liberal councillor on Ryedale District and Pickering Town councils in North Yorkshire – made the comments after reading reports about the death of Allan Ellis.
Mr Ellis, 50, a former Scots Guard from Bacup, Lancashire, shot himself in August after learning he was to be sued over a £40,000 debt. Mr Woodward wrote: 'We would all rather live in a world where no one kills for fun. However, if you choose to own a gun and kill for pleasure, then it's best you kill yourself.'
'I don't agree with guns,' he said. 'People buy guns to kill things. If someone is going to buy a gun then the best reason for doing so is to kill themselves.
'I disagree with killing anything. If disagreement with killing things means I upset shooting enthusiasts, then so be it.'
The current game plan of gun control activists in the United States isn't to ban guns through legislation — instead, their strategy is to make guns socially unacceptable. It's the reason why they're going after retail stores to bully convince them to ban guns. It's why they harp on "concealed carry killers," and make every effort to brand gun owners as redneck idiots and racists. They don't need to win the battle in the legislature if they can win the culture war by ostracizing gun owners in their communities.
What we see in Woodward's rant is the final result of that cultural conditioning: no compassion whatsoever. The blind belief that all gun owners are murderous maniacs and idiots. And since they are all murderers, their lives don't matter. They would all be better off dead. Its a pretty short hop from "these gun owners should kill themselves" to "lets help them kill themselves" to "how about you jump into that cattle car?" I don't believe that we should be killing people or wishing them harm based on their political beliefs. I guess Mr. Woodward doesn't agree.
I'm not surprised at the liberal politician's remarks. Anti-gunners are, by and large, a pretty damn violent lot. Poster boys for projection, every damn one of them. I glad they don't have guns.
Gearmoe says:
I wholeheartedly agree. The most dangerous are the ones who spread pervasive fear of the firearm upon the masses.
This is what happens when people mistake Bambi for a nature documentary. They value feral beasts more than precious human life. Stay classy Thomas Woodward!
You mean wild beasts, but the rest is spot on.
Ing says:
Sounds to me like this Woodward guy might be a feral beast himself.
JR_in_NC says:
And attitudes like that are exactly why it does not matter how we act…the hatred runs that deep, is pure emotion and cannot be swayed by any logic or exculpatory evidence on the part of gun owners.
Grindstone says:
To *this* guy it doesn't matter, but thankfully he is a minority. There are fare more moderates than loons. THOSE are who we are fighting for.
MotoJB says:
Him first…
Bobby C. King says:
Should Mr. Ellis be visited by a home invasion and a loved on get killed because he was not armed and ready to defend himself and his loved ones in his own home, one must wonder if he would hold fast to his opinion???
People who believe in the utopia that Mr. Ellis believes in, should surround themselves with candy and NUTS. Mostly Nuts!
Yes he would, wether as a true believer or as a hypocrite like Watts he would stay the course. I have talked to these people. That line of questioning leads to statements like "the guy would be caught and punished for my death and that's worth it if it means having a safer world". Or "my wife's/child's life is not worth more than the attackers, killing him would be just as wrong".
Just FYI – Ellis is the guy who shot himself. You meant to say Woodward.
Thomas Woodward: "'I disagree with killing anything. "
Except, you know…gun owners.
Illogic aside, there is Progressive mindset on parade: we are not human, we are not even "things" to them.
Reprehensible.
DickG says:
I wonder, does he ever eat beef, fish-n-chips, or chicken?
When little Tommy grows up, and understands the life of the omnivore human species, perhaps he'll understand.
Until then, I suggest that we all just have a laugh and ignore him.
JR, we've *WON* the culture war…
Rap / Hip-Hop music glorifies the 'gat'.
Hollywood / Broadcast / Cable / Satellite glorifies the gun. The *cool* actors use guns.
The plots show guns being used for good far outweigh the use for evil.
First Person Shooter / Video Games – The gun is a tool to do a job / reach a goal.
The current administration – President – No one has done more in recent history to encourage mistrust / fear than the Progressives and their ilk.
Viewership in mass media broadcast journalism continues to collapse.
A Libertarian movement has taken hold with the youth of today.
SCOTUS has ruled twice guns are a right to own and use in our homes.
Some form of carry is legal in all 50 states.
All in all, we're in really good shape! Not perfect, but damn good.
S.CROCK says:
When someone breaks into his house with clubs, I hope unarmed police have a speedy response time to clean up the scene.
Mack Bolan says:
An unsympathetic liberal politician using personal tragedy to advance a political agenda?
Shocked I tell you!
Scott P says:
It's comments made by him and his ilk stateside that will never make me disarm.
You first…what a horrible little man.
RockOnHellChild says:
Nah, I'm good sticking around, if for no other than pissing you and your kind off.
DickDanger says:
If this is how anti-gunners think and act, I'd much rather them stay employed. A few remarks like this later, I think more and more people would begin to see that these people aren't what they expect them to be. A lot of million mom marchers and the lot look to these people as a voice of logic and peace, but they would slowly begin to see that these people are the exact opposite: @ssholes that don't care about human life, they're just milking heart strings to gain power.
JasonMfromSoDakota says:
No offense but Welcome to the party and late is better then never based on the disbelief in your comment. All of the residents that espouse anti-gun beliefs have this attitude towards gunowners and have no moral qualms to voice death upon our families. Go to any liberal website comment section and you would be amazed at the open death threats and lack of independent cognitive abilities but they still vote our rights away. Bonus part is that in some of the rants you actually read the point where their medication wore off.
ThomasR says:
Before one group can commit mass murder against another; they need to first dehumanize that group.
Just as those that support the mass murder of the unborn by calling "it" a fetus instead of a baby ; the anti-freedom crowd have so dehumanized gun owners that many would cheer at the mass murder of the POTG.
Of course; this just envigorates the defense of my right to KABA
Woodward is a Liberal? Wow. This is my shocked face.
Sounds like hate speech to me.
Tom W. says:
This elitist, arrogant, Brit is why "We" initiated the "Shot Heard Around The World", and kicked them out of this country. Than saved their [email protected]@ for not one but two World Wars. The everyday folks of England are not the resilient folks they once were. They elect these clowns. The most popular name for baby boys in England now is Mohammed. Fancy that, can I get some mutton and fish & chips with a Guiness now?
One day, V for Vendetta (centered in Jolly ol' England) will not just be a movie. Guy Fawkes knew it centuries ago when he attempted to blow up Parliment.
Just a fun little fact: Guy Fawkes wasn't a freedom fighter for the forces of truth and justice. He wanted to destroy Parliament so the Spanish could take control and set up a Catholic Church-backed empire that ruled Spain. He wanted to swap out one oppression for another.
Sooo the sequel is confirmed?
bbbbut what will I do with my mask?
Hang on to it for the next flash mob…
Cameron S. says:
For someone so concerned with peace, that's quite the wish for genocide.
It's okay if you think you're right though, right?
NYC2AZ says:
Preaching civilian disarmament is really just a guise for his approval of State sponsored violence.
jug says:
Pure hate speech.
What can he expect in return?
Soccerchainsaw says:
His address published?
IdahoPete says:
Re-election by his brain-dead constituents.
forrest says:
Somebody should stab that man in the liver.
Gov. William J. Le Petomane says:
I totally agree, at least as far as the UK is concerned. Since the only entity allowed to own guns in the UK is the government, everyone in the government should commit suicide (especially the politicians). It would set the cause of individual liberty ahead by at least a century in that country.
Untrue statement is untrue, but I do wonder if that sentiment applies to the armed government agents from police to soldiers?
Which part of my statement do you think is untrue? The statement that only the government is allowed to own guns in the UK (which is almost totally true) or the part where if every politician in the UK committed suicide it would set the cause of individual liberty ahead by a century (totally true)?
Probably this: "Since the only entity allowed to own guns in the UK is the government"
Individuals can own firearms, but are under heavy restrictions.
'Heavy restrictions' sounds vaguely euphemistic.
Well the part you said was "almost true" speaks for its self. Obviously gov cronies are 'not' tho only people with guns. In fact I would bet that legal civilian gun owners out number state armed agents even in the UK. It's just a point of fact, not a justification or anything. As to your other point… No I don't honestly think the sudden removal of all armed government types would improve civil rights one bit in the UK. If recent history has taught me anything it's that you can't give people freedom. The same people who voted for the phony security blanket are not the type to revel in the light. They will quickly re-establish the status quo and probably vote away another slew of rights and privileges.
Bureaucracies are not born overnight. Laws and institutions are created one by one. Some were a bad idea in the first place. Others outlive their usefulness. If you wipe the slate clean and leave it up to the voters to reenact laws and rebuild the bureaucracies it would take a century to replace them all. Unfortunately when the slate is wiped clean it is usually because a dictator has just overthrown the existing government and new laws and institutions are created on a whim. But politicians are always judged by what they get done and it doesn't matter much if anything needed to be done or even if things need to be undone.
I believe the British Royal Family, including the Queen, own quite a few "sporting" guns. Apparently, Woodward is calling for the suicide of the members of the royal family. Isn't this "lese-majesty" defined as "the crime of violating majesty, an offence against the dignity of a reigning sovereign or against a state."
Off with his head!
CentralIL says:
I'd like to know if this man is a vegetarian, or a hypocrite.
Yes, both.
ADC USN/Ret says:
Or better yet, in response to the article anti-gunners say that pro gun folks should shoot themselves, all gun owners should pic an anti gun voter or politician and shoot them. If we all do it the same day, there wont be enough of em left to prosecute us. Do it for the children!
Anti-gunners are murderers of children by proxy, by the laws they have enacted and politicians they support. They are the guilty ones!
Shooting them will only increase the pressure to remove our firearm rights. Use knives, bats, and fire. You can't really ban fire.
" You can't really ban fire."
Never heard of the crime of Arson?
That is not a ban or even restriction on fire. It is a proscribed consequence for an illegal act. In other words a proper law. I don't consider laws against assault with a deadly weapon to be gun control either.
Two wrongs doesn't make it right.
Timmy! says:
But three rights make a left.
And one more right makes a square.
So let's not be square daddyo.
(Another decade and I would be a contemporary. How time flies.)
Only in New Jersey.
Roymond says:
He should get together with the feminists who consider all men rapists who should be locked up.
AllAmerican says:
Well if he doesn't want to kill anything he should just kill himself because his mere existence kills things. Not just for food, but all the micro organisms his body kills daily, and when he cleans himself or his house. Just sitting there breathing even if he doesn't eat, he's killing millions of poor innocent microrganisms per second. That sick monster.
Sammy says:
The antis are afraid of guns because in their hearts they are extremely violent people.
I wish I had submitted this with the audio when it happened but a local radio show with two very anti gun hosts had a news clip about a road rage incident where the aggressor pulled a gun and the other man pulled his in response. You can predict the commentary right up til one host stated that he didn't feel safe acting aggressively towards people because they might be armed. The news guy who hunts and owns guns says " so people being armed makes you behave better?" There was ofcourse stammering sputtering denials before he dropped the subject but it was one of the most sublime moments of radio in history.
Jolly Roger Out says:
It's usually frowned upon to wish someone dead, but when they wish it upon me first…
The 9.0 earthquake you just felt was caused by Winston Churchill turning over in his grave
Tim` says:
my 2 daughters are both against guns and when faced with danger always ask do you have your gun and when I say yes they say good
If they are adults say no next time say no, it's time to step up. After all , who'll protect you when your trigger fingers are to gnarled with age?
Another Robert says:
My wife does the same thing.
Clearly monsters live among us and wear our skin.
People like this are how genocide can happen.
This person should be in a mental institution, heavily sedated.
Garibaldi says:
Misguided guy says>"'I disagree with killing anything. If disagreement with killing things means I upset shooting enthusiasts, then so be it."
I hope he is a vegan. After all, he is "killing something" when he eats his steak dinner…
Marcus (Aurelius) Payne says:
Even plants are alive. Killing things and not killing things is not a difference between meat eaters and vegans.
It bothers me, the number of people who don't understand their own beliefs and think themselves superior for a reason that does not even distinguish them from those the despise. If he doesn't like killing things, then he is what he hates.
Yes I know that plants are alive. When I mentioned this to someone I know, they told me "Yes, but not in the same way. A plant does not have a face".
Granted that even vegetarians thrive upon death, I just have to feel that killing a plant is not the same as killing an animal. I recognize that others may disagree, but to me it seems pretty obvious…
DerryM says:
You should look around for a copy of a book written in the late 1960's entitled "The Secret Life of Plants". It documented research done that demonstrated Plants have some sort of consciousness and measurably react to abuse and positive stimulation. Then throw that in the face of your friend who says they're okay to eat because they don't "have a face" Might be amusing.
And that book depended upon science about as sound as "The Secret."
@ Garibaldi – Not criticizing you with my suggestion about the Plant book, but I have lent a copy to Vegans who subscribe to the "won't eat anything with a face" meme and the results were pretty funny. Hannibal is right, though, the "Science" for that book was dubious.
My wife caught a few moments of the outdoor channel yesterday with some folks standing with their kills. She yelled murder! Every time a dead buck was out on screen. This was about a minute after finishing off a Culvers double mushroom Swiss burger. Now she was obviously playing it up a bit but I know she has internal conflicts concerning her love of animals and her lace of animal bits. I wish I could help her see that it is not remotely contradictory. That hunters tend to be animal lovers and that forcing ones self out of the natural world as a vegan IS contradictory.
Magister says:
So its ok for him to say this, for the most part, but what if someone turned this around and said it against him? "If someone buys a gun then the best use is to kill random politicians of country ______."
J. Zoss says:
Besides the blatant hypocrisy he has moved past vegan into an even deeper state of denial by claiming he disagrees with killing anything. Disagrees to the point that taking ones own life is better than killing anything. As has been previously noted just existing causes death on a massive scale at the microscopic level and plants are living things. There is nothing he is eating or using for that matter that did not involve more death at some point while getting to him or during its use, even if it wasn't causing the death of Bambi. Even for pro-victim gun-grabbers this is pretty far up the crazy scale. At least a vegan can pretend they only kill plants.
". . .The current game plan of gun control activists in the United States isn't to ban guns through legislation — instead, their strategy is to make guns socially unacceptable. . ."
And in this they are fortunately losing—big time. Granted gun-controllers can gain a measure of success among urban dwelling cosmopolites concentrated in the mega-cities but their mistake, borne out by the rather stunning recent defeats at gun-control legislation and the corresponding massive arming of middle-class citizens, is their assumption that the opinions of coastal elites really matter out here in flyover country. It comes as no great surprise to me that they don't. In order for gun-control to win the American body politic has to embrace gun-control ideologies that run counter to our traditions. And that ain't happening. One of life's more satisfying moments is experiencing the look of absolute shock on the face of a newly arrived refugee from LA when they suddenly realize that several of the Texans they're talking to are carrying concealed handguns.
Bob101 says:
You are not kidding about their ideology being one step away from cattle cars. Being a history buff, I spent some time reading about the lead up to WWII. The Progressives and fascists of the 1930's are scarily similar.
Milsurp Collector says:
Every time I read one of these stories, I find it exponentially more difficult to believe the English people ever had an empire, and after losing most of it, told the Third Reich to go p!ss up a rope. The fact that such an accomplished nation produces nitwits like this today is a shame. I really feel for the few patriotic Brits left in that shell of a country, watching as their own history is blasphemed and riotous, third-world immigrants are apologized to. This just goes to show, a vote for a party which champions political correctness and social justice is a vote for cultural suicide.
The British were ruined by World War II much like the French were Ruined by World War I. They lost generations of young men.
When you take so many in a nation and throw them through a meat grinder of a war you are left with whomever was too weak or unwilling to fight outnumbering those who won the victory.
So, if it is "not okay" to kill anything, then how is it "okay" to kill yourself? Lunatic logic from a lunatic. Hope he takes a hard fall from his constituency into the oblivion he deserves…oh, and definitely publish his address.
What has this Thomas Woodward fellow done in life? Was he a soldier? What has been his contribution to his country that he can dismiss other's lives so easily?
Russ Bixby says:
I couldn't agree more.
The current British regime (owner of a great many guns) should immediately fall on its, er, bayonet.
Jus Bill says:
It appears that Thomas Woodward is mentally ill. He does not value human life at all.

I think perhaps this person isn't aware that the kids have been asked not to speak.
By Natalee's family, not by the FBI. Bill O'Reilly totally debunked that myth.
Is it really justice to want everything Aruba has regarding this case but not want to reciporcate?
VAN SUSTEREN: Did she ever see these three young men before that day?
TWITTY: Not to my knowledge, Greta.
She also states that she hasn't talked to any of the kids, which I think is odd..
I was trying to bring that out but got Beth's interveiws confused thank you.
There was a report this morning that the search team from Texas is having some problems. One big problem is getting the Aruban authorities to allow their search dogs to come to the island. If this is true I think we should write, fax and email anyone and everyone to call for the dogs to help with the search.
Not sure if they are having any other problems.
Right now my gut tells me Beth Twitty wants to find her daughter dead or alive and bring her home. Justice is secondary for her right now. She wants and deserves closure. I hope the Aruban government will do everything they can to allow expert searches by the Texas group.
The officials on Aruba have got to start understanding what the word "perception" mean. Aruban's I understand your many points about unfairness and being blamed but there has to be an image of a sense of urgency.
Just heard on Fox they may not even get there on Friday. Trappenberg from Aruba came up with some lame excuses why they couldn't go yet. BULL! I see cats and dogs traveling to Aruba frequently to vacation with their families, as well as with Aruba residents who purchased their pets in the U.S. The only requirement is a form letter from a vet stating the animal appears healthy and is current on shots. C'mon, guys. Please just be truthful in your excuses!
I thought it was determined first thing this morning that the search team was already there????!!!!!! I read that in this board.
I need to shop where he shops.
Re: Who did not do their job?
HER FRIENDS AND ROOM MATES ON GRETA LAST NIGHT DID NOT USE THE DODGE THAT THEY SLEPT AROUND IN DIFFERENT ROOMS, SAID THEY WERE VERY WORRIED WHEN THEY WOKE UP TO FIND HER NOT THERE AND REPORTED IT TO THE CHAPERONES.
I would wonder IF her friends or a chaperone packed her things..thinking maybe she slept in..in another room.. wouldnt someone think that perhaps there may be something in her bag she may of needed to get ready to leave?? Clothes..make up.. ??? Just a thought..
sorry cali..I know I am way behind due to phone, but how many roommates were there? assuming 2 beds per room so i am assuming 4 girls/room. so if natalee's bags were packed and on the bed all night, then no one used that bed so maybe we know why no one reported her not coming in...because they never did either? doesn't solve anything but maybe answers why they didn't know.
This is why I was confused as this was posted this morning.
I believe Dash said Natalee had 3 roomates... anyone care to correct me? Dash stated she had 4 or was it this was total in a room including them?
Seach team was doing tsunami searches. I would think all the papers and shots would have been current because of that. Its not like that was ten years ago.
Some members (at least a group lead) is there and did take the red eye.
Apparently the leader of the search group is in Aruba trying to work out details for the team.
THANK YOU MISS. ROSS FOR EXPLAINING YOUR POINT OF VIEW AS AN AMERICAN WHO KNOWS THE ISLAND.

New Jersey teen who climbed One World Trade pleads guilty
NEW YORK (WABC) -- The New Jersey teenager who made it to the top of One World Trade Center pleaded guilty Wednesday.
Sixteen-year-old Justin Casquejo, of Weekhawken, pleaded as a youthful offender in Midtown Criminal Court and will serve 23 days of community service, some of which he has already completed.
Casquejo was arrested after his stunt on March 16, during which police say he managed to squeeze through a 1-foot by 1-foot hole in the fence that surrounds the property and made it past security on his way to the spire.
He allegedly broke into the building around 4 a.m. with no identification and apparently dressed like a construction worker.
The teen, who apparently had little trouble getting past security, was stopped by another construction worker who spotted the red light on his GoPro camera as he attempted to leave the building, and police were called.
"We take security and these types of infractions extremely seriously and will prosecute violators," Port Authority Chief Joseph Dunne said. "We continue to reassess our security posture at the site and are constantly working to make this site as secure as possible."
Casquejo was detained by Port Authority police officers responding to a report of a unauthorized person on the site.
Casquejo was in possession of a camera and a cell phone and had apparently taken pictures from the top of the building, where he stayed for about two hours.
Port Authority officials said the breach and security at the site are all under investigation.
Casquejo released an apology on his twitter feed, saying, "I seriously apologize to anyone who may have been insulted or felt disrespected by my actions. It was not my intention to do so."

Bryant commits to play collegiate softball
November 11, 2016 by BenGil Staff
Addison Bryant (center, seated) commits to play collegiate softball at Lincoln Land Community College.
Addison Bryant, the 17-year-old daughter of Mitchell and Justine Bryant of Gillespie, committed to play collegiate softball at Lincoln Land Community College where she will also study to become a nurse practitioner.
Bryant is finishing out her senior year at Gillespie High School and awaits the spring softball season with the Gillespie Miners where she will be a fourth-year member. The softball program is very optimistic about the upcoming season after losing only a few seniors last season.
In addition to softball, Bryant has participated in three years of basketball, two years in Miners Preparing and Caring for Teen Driving (MPACT'D), three years on student council and is a member in the National Honor Society.
Her main focus has always been on softball. Although she's a pretty versatile defensive player, pitching is her concentration and the position where she spends most of her time while playing the field. This year will be her 12th year with the sport.
Bryant has picked up a handful of awards along the way including most valuable player for the Gillespie team her freshman, sophomore and junior years of high school. She was also named the first team all-conference her freshman, sophomore and junior years, plus second team all-state her junior year and State Journal Register's small school player of the year after her junior year. Thus far, she has tossed two perfect games and been a member of two regional titles at Gillespie.
"I think we will have a great team," Bryant said of the upcoming softball season which will start in the spring. "We will be capable of going just as far, if not further than we did last year in the post season."

Flying to Australia, one very quickly finds themselves in a sort of temporal limbo; three eight-hour stints in the air, broken up only briefly by a one-hour stopover in Dubai and Bangkok, desperately attempting to wind your watch forward while trying, unsuccessfully, to maintain some semblance of composure. After two months living in Sydney, it is undoubtedly the flight here which is the worst thing about Australia. I arrived at 7 a.m. local time and ignored all the many signs pointing me in the direction of those great Sydney landmarks, desperate only to reach my accommodation and have a very long lie down.
Three days later I surfaced, finally ready to explore this city which was to be my home for the next eleven months. My university accommodation is located on the western outskirts of the University of Sydney campus, roughly ninety-minutes' walk from the Opera House. Of course, having finally shrugged off my extensive jetlag, I opted to walk it. I was not disappointed by my choice; my route took me through suburban Sydney and along the waters edge, all the while with the sight of the city 'scrapers as the background. My route took me right across Darling Harbour, which despite being full of tourists surprised me by having many reasonably-priced restaurants (the only time I would ever be happily surprised at the price of something here).
After a lunch with a considerable view, I continued walking into the city proper. The scale of Sydney is surprising; as someone who is used to the fairly low-rise buildings of Leeds and Edinburgh, craning my neck at the multitude of skyscrapers around me quickly became irritating. It was also at this point that my Google maps decided that, despite its infinite resources and multi-billion-dollar satellites, I was no longer detectable. After my little blue dot had bounced its way across my screen, informing me that I was simultaneously back in my accommodation and Bangkok airport, I gave it up as a bad job and decided to head deeper into the city – my logic being that the direction that seemed less likely to lead to Circular Quay and the Opera House would be the correct one. I was right. After about twenty more minutes of walking, I suddenly stepped out of the shadows and emerged at Circular Quay. The glassy vista of water, framed by the Harbour Bridge on the left and the Opera House on the right, was a welcome sight after the repetitive concrete of the city. It is amazing how a bit of sunlight and a waterfront immediately makes a city more picturesque; it might be I have got too used to the grim, drizzly nature of Scotland.
This was my first foray into the city of Sydney, and an experience reflective of the entirety of the past two months I have now spent here. Surprises, left right and centre. In the intervening weeks I have made many more friends than I could have expected, spend far more money than I can afford, and enjoyed myself no end. One learns very quickly that this is precisely the Australian way; its not work hard/play hard, but rather work hard in order to play hard. You have to be willing to put in the graft, before you can enjoy yourself. Even though my accommodation is full of mostly international students, here for either a single semester, or like me a year, this attitude seems to have permeated its way throughout.
That the 24-hour flight is but a haze in my memory is testament to the sheer number of things I have done since then; trekking in the Blue Mountains, watching Wallabies vs All Black rugby, surfing at Bondi Beach – and that's without mentioning the fact that I'm actually supposed to be going to University here. Hopefully I will post something about that in future (although I'm currently planning trips to Tasmania, the Great Barrier Reef and New Zealand, so I doubt it).


This paper presents a reactive collision avoidance algorithm, which avoids both static and moving obstacles by keeping a constant avoidance angle between the vehicle velocity vector and the obstacle. In particular, we consider marine vehicles with underactuated sway dynamics, which cannot be directly controlled. This gives an underactuated component in the vehicle velocity, which the proposed algorithm is designed to compensate for. The algorithm furthermore compensates for the obstacle velocity. Conditions are derived under which the sway movement is bounded and collision avoidance is mathematically proved. The theoretical results are supported by simulations. The proposed algorithm makes only limited sensing requirements on the vehicle, is intuitive and suitable for a wide range of vehicles. This includes vehicles with heavy forward acceleration constraints, which is demonstrated by applying the algorithm to a vehicle with constant surge speed.

The Irish Pound (Irish: Punt Éireannach) was the currency of Ireland until 2002. Its ISO 4217 code was IEP, and the usual notation was the prefix £ (or IR£ where confusion might have arisen with the pound sterling or other pounds). The Irish pound was superseded by the euro on 1 January 1999. Euro currency did not begin circulation until the beginning of 2002.
First pound
Saorstt pound
Decimalisation
Breaking the link with sterling
19791999 Independence
Replacement with the euro
Hidden inflation
The earliest Irish coinage was introduced in the year 997, with a pound divided like the English pound into twenty shillings, each of twelve silver pence. Parity with the pound sterling was established by King John around 1210, so that Irish silver could move freely into the English economy and help to finance his wars in France. However, from 1460, Irish coins were minted with a different silver content to those of England, so that the values of the two currencies diverged.
During the Williamite War of 1689–1691, King James II, no longer reigning in England and Scotland, issued an emergency base-metal coinage known as gun money.
In 1701, the relationship between the Irish pound and the English pound sterling was fixed at thirteen Irish pounds equalling twelve English pounds. (The Scottish pound had yet another value.) This relationship made it possible for Irish copper coins to circulate with English silver coins, since thirteen Irish pence had the same value as one English shilling.
In 1801, Ireland became part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, but the Irish pound continued to exist until January 1826. Between 1804 and 1813 silver tokens worth tenpence were issued by the Bank of Ireland and were denominated in pence Irish. The last copper coins of the Irish pound were minted in 1823, and in 1826 the Irish pound was merged with the pound sterling. After 1826 some Irish banks continued to issue paper bank notes, but these were denominated in pounds sterling, and no more distinctly Irish coins were minted until the creation of the Irish Free State in the 20th century.
Saorstát pound
From continuing to use sterling after independence (1922), the new Irish Free State brought in its own currency from 1928. The new Saorstát (Free State) Pound was defined by the 1927 Act to have exactly the same weight and fineness of gold as was the sovereign at the time, having the effect of making the new currency pegged at 1:1 with sterling. De facto rather than de jure, parity with sterling was maintained for another fifty years. As with sterling, the £sd system was used, with the Irish names punt (plural: puint), scilling (plural: scillingí) and pingin (plural: pinginí). Distinctive coins and notes were introduced, the coins from 1928 (in 8 denominations: 1/4d farthing, 1/2d halfpenny, 1d penny, 3d threepence, 6d sixpence, 1s shilling, 2s florin, 2s 6d half crown and in 1966 a 10s coin) – all with the same dimensions as their British counterparts. However, the pound sterling generally continued to be accepted on a one-for-one basis everywhere, whereas the Irish currency was not generally accepted in the United Kingdom.
From 1938, the means of tender was referred to as the Irish Pound, after the Constitution of Ireland changed the state's name. The Currency Act, 1927, Adaptation Order, 1938 was the actual mechanism by which change took place.
Decimalisation of the currency was discussed during the 1960s. When the British government decided to decimalise its currency, the Irish government followed suit. The legislative basis for decimalisation in the Republic was the Decimal Currency Act, 1969. The number of pence in the Irish pound was redefined from 240 to 100, with the penny symbol changing from "d" to "p". The pound itself was not revalued by this act and therefore pound banknotes were unaffected, although the 10 shilling note was replaced by the 50p coin. The new 5 pence coin correlated with the old 1 shilling coin, and the new 10 pence coin correlated with the old 2 shilling coin. New coins were issued of the same dimensions and materials as the corresponding new British coins. The Decimal Currency Act, 1970 made additional provisions for the changeover not related with the issue of coins.
Decimalisation was overseen by the Irish Decimal Currency Board, created on 12 June 1968. It provided changeover information to the public including a pamphlet called Everyone's Guide to Decimal Currency. The changeover occurred on Decimal Day, 15 February 1971.
In the 1970s, the European Monetary System was introduced. Ireland decided to join it in 1978, while the United Kingdom stayed out.
The European Exchange Rate Mechanism finally broke the one-for-one link that existed between the Irish pound and the pound sterling; by 30 March 1979 an exchange rate was introduced.
This period also saw the creation of the Currency Centre at Sandyford in 1978 so that banknotes and coinage could be manufactured within the state. Prior to this, banknotes were printed by specialist commercial printers in England, and coins by the British Royal Mint.
1979–1999: Independence
Until 1986, all decimal Irish coins were the same shape and size as their UK counterparts. After this, however, all new denominations or redesigned coins were of different sizes to the UK coinage. The new 20p coin introduced that year and the £1 coin (introduced in 1990) were completely different in size, shape and composition to the previously introduced UK versions. When the UK 5p and 10p coins were reduced in size, the Irish followed suit, but the new Irish 10p was smaller than the new UK version introduced in 1992 and the new Irish 5p was slightly larger than the UK version introduced in 1990. The Irish 50p was never reduced in size (as it had been in the UK in 1997).
31 December 1998, the exchange rates between the European Currency Unit and the Irish pound and 10 other EMS currencies (all but the pound sterling, the Swedish krona and the Danish krone) were fixed. The fixed conversion factor for the Irish pound was €1 = IR£0.787564. On the next day, a virtual euro was introduced and the exchange rate was GB£1 = €1.42210, making GB£1 ≈ IR£1.12. By 1 January 2002, the day when the physical euro was introduced, GB£1 was worth about IR£1.287. Following the appreciation of the euro since its launch and the fall of Sterling in 2007–2009, as of May 2012, GB£1 was worth about the equivalent of IR£0.98.
Although the euro became the currency of the eurozone countries including Ireland on 1 January 1999, it was not until 1 January 2002 that the state began to withdraw Irish pound coins and notes, replacing them with euro specie. All other eurozone countries withdrew their currencies in a similar fashion, from that date. Irish pound coins and notes ceased to be legal tender on 9 February 2002, although they are intended to be exchangeable indefinitely for euro at the Central Bank.
On 31 December 2001, the total value of Irish banknotes in circulation was €4,343.8 million, and the total value of Irish coins was €387.9 million. The Irish cash changeover was one of the fastest in the eurozone, with some shops illegally ceasing to accept pounds after the first week or two. With a conversion factor of 0.787564 Irish pounds to the euro, 56%, by value, of Irish banknotes was withdrawn from circulation within two weeks of the introduction of euro banknotes and coins, and 83.4% by the time they ceased to have legal tender status.
Withdrawal of coinage was slower, having a lower priority, with only 45% of coins withdrawn by 9 February 2002.
All Irish coins and banknotes, from the start of the Irish Free State onwards, both decimal and pre-decimal, may be exchanged for euro at the Central Bank in Dublin.
When decimal currency and the euro were in turn introduced, many people in Ireland believed that prices had been improperly raised by traders taking advantage of the confusion, exchange rates notwithstanding.
In the case of the euro the government took special measures to try to prevent any unnecessary price changes, which ultimately proved ineffective. The changeover coincided with an economic boom in the country, and inflation was moderately high. People were eager to blame price rises on merchants taking advantage of changeover confusion.
Most retailers, especially the larger chains, continued to show prices in Irish pounds under the euro price for up to 5 years after the changeover, enabling people to see the price in old currency and check whether prices had been improperly inflated.

The Huts of the High Country
Scattered throughout the Australian Alps are more than a hundred historic huts. They date back as far as the 1860s. Many were built as shelters by stockmen grazing their cattle on high country pastures. Others housed fishermen, gold prospectors, foresters, workers on the Snowy Mountains Hydro-Electric Scheme, skiers and bushwalkers. Today they are used as emergency shelters for skiers and bushwalkers caught out in the changeable mountain weather.
The huts are the antithesis of luxury. Most are simple corrugated iron or wood constructions. Very few are easy to get to. They are tucked away in the back country, far from roads and other services. Over many years of skiing, bushwalking and mountain biking David and I have come across a half dozen or so of these huts. With a few exceptions they are a challenge to find and it is always fun when we come across one. We have never camped out overnight so all the huts in this post can be reached in a day's bushwalk or mountain bike ride from the nearest road.
Huts in Victoria -
Cope Hut
Cope Hut was built in 1929 by the Ski Club of Victoria. In summer it is one of the most accessible huts in the mountains. When the Bogong High Plains Rd beyond Falls Creek is open you can park at the Bogong chalet car park and find Cope Hut 500 metres along the track. When the road is closed but clear enough of snow to cycle on, park at the Rocky Valley Dam Wall and bike or hike about 9kms to the turn off to the hut.
Note: The Bogon High Plains Rd is closed in winter and early spring. When it opens each year varies according to when the last of the snow melts.
Wallace's Hut
Wallace's Hut is the oldest hut in the Alpine National Park, Victoria. It was built in 1889 by three brothers - Arthur, William and Stewart Wallace. Wallace's Hut was used as a shelter for stockmen pasturing their cattle in the High Country. It is on Wallaces Track about 750 metres in from the Bogong High Plains road. Wallace's Hut is a great place for a picnic. It is in a lovely clearing and someone has thoughtfully provided a wooden picnic table and bench set nearby.
Faithfull's Hut
Positively modern compared to many of the other High Country huts Faithful Hut was built in 1962. The Faithful family mustered brumbies (wild horses) and pastured cattle in the High Plains.
The Langford West Aqueduct Trail
The most scenic way to see Cope, Wallace and Faithfull Huts is to bike or bushwalk along the Langford West Aqueduct Trail. For my blog post on the aqueduct trail click here - here
Fitzgerald's Hut
The original Fitzgerald Hut was built in 1903 by George Silas Fitzgerald. Destroyed by fire in 1991 it was rebuilt using salvaged and recycled timber. Nestled in a large clearing, three to four hours hike from the Bogong High Plains Road, it is a great place to stop for lunch or to camp overnight.
Even on a clear day the hut is not easy to find. I would hate to be looking for it in a blizzard. The best way to approach it by mountain bike is along the Langfords East Aqueduct Trail, then follow the signs. When you come to the sign which says 'Fitzgerald Hut 300 m' you have about twice that distance to go.
Fitzgerald Hut
Inside Fitzgerald Hut - There was a large fireplace in the corner out of shot of the camera.
The 300 m distance is not accurate.
Kelly Hut
The first hut here was built by Kyran Marum and Jack Platt in 1901. The second by Patrick J Kelly also in 1901. In 1956 the hut was burnt down and replaced with a State Electricity Commission (SEC) hut moved from a nearby site. The SEC hut was probably originally built in about 1928.
Kelly Hut is even more difficult to find than Fitzgerald. We have stumbled across it twice now but both times the location of the hut did not accord with where we thought we were according to our topographic maps.
JB Plain Hut
JB Plain Hut is a relative newcomer. It was built in 1978 as a Forests Commission hut, although there was an earlier hut nearby built in 1934 by the Omeo Ski Club. The early hut was demolished in 1989. The hut is only a few hundred metres from the Great Alpine Road at JB Plain, west of Dinner Plain. David and I came across it while cycling the Dinner Plain to Hotham Trail. You can read my blog post on the cycle here.
Wire Plain Howard's Hut
Like JB Plain Hut, Wire Plain Hut is easy to reach, being only a few hundred metres from the Great Alpine Road, east of Mt Hotham. It was built by Bill Howard in 1962 as a cattleman's hut and is still used today by cattlemen.
Wire Plain Hut. It is hard to believe looking at this photo but Wire Plain Hut has a carpeted living area.
Huts in New South Wales
Geehi Hut
Geehi is the only hut I am aware of that you can drive right up to in a two-wheeled drive car. Take the Alpine Way west of Thredbo toward Khancoban and turn toward Geehi Flats Campground about 47 kms along. The road is closed in winter and early spring. Geehi was built in 1952 by the Nankervis brothers as a fishing and grazing shelter. In the late afternoons there are always large numbers of kangaroos grazing nearby - you can't miss them.
Seaman's Hut
Although David and I have walked and cycled past it many times I don't have a photo of Seaman's Hut, at least one I can find, but I couldn't finish this post without mentioning it. Seaman's Hut is beside the Summit Road leading to Mt Kosciusko, about two-thirds of the way along from Charlotte's Pass. It was built in 1929.
Laurie Seaman and Evan Hayes perished in a blizzard on 14 August 1928 after skiing to the summit of Mt Kosciusko. They were Australia's first recorded skiing deaths. Laurie Seaman's body was found very close to where the hut is now. Construction of the hut was financed by his American parents as a memorial to their son and to prevent others suffering the same tragedy. The hut has saved countless lives in the ensuing years.
More information about Australia's high country huts can be found at the websites of the Kosciusko Huts Association and the Victoria High Country Huts Association.

I like the different histories of these huts. New Zealand has high mountain huts too (they are mostly administered by the Dept of Conservation for trampers/hikers).
The Travelling Lindfields 12 February 2017 at 05:21
I didn't know that New Zealand had them. I must go looking for some of them one day.
Anda 12 February 2017 at 08:24
What an interesting idea to visit all these huts in the Australian Alps. We had huts like that all throughout the Carpathian Mountains when I lived in Romania. They were often used by the hikers as they traveled through areas that didn't have any lodges. Today's shepherds still build and use them there. #TheWeeklyPostcard
Most of the huts are for emergency use only but they are left open (obviously) and people often camp nearby them.
Yeah these are pretty adorable! haha. I would love to go hiking and find these. The Geehi Hut looks like a real cabin/house, as in not just a little hut. I also love reading about the history on these. Stopping by from TheWeeklyPostcard
Geehi is the most substantial hut we have come across with the exception of the Rover Chalet near Falls Creek. I didn't include it because it is more of a cross country ski chalet than a hut but it too is fun to find.
Jim 12 February 2017 at 19:15
These old tin huts are so full of character! Thanks for linking up with #wkendtravelinspiration, see you next week!
Next week the Travelling Lindfields will come to you from the Land of the Long White Cloud.
afrenchcollection 12 February 2017 at 22:30
I can imagine these huts being replicated on movie sets, they certainly look great in their surrounding environment. #TheWeeklyPostcard
They make wonderful photos. I would hate to have to stay in one overnight though - they are very basic.
Completely brilliant blog. Love the huts and made me completely homesick for the Australian bush. In fact there is a tear in the corner of my eye. An award winning article esp the photography
Thank you. Last time we discovered a few of the huts I went out and more topographic maps with the intention of hunting down a few more. It is on my list for this year or next.
BarbRad 13 February 2017 at 07:12
What a hospitable gesture to make these huts available for travelers in the back country to use when shelter or a resting place is needed. I imagine it was fun looking for and finding them. Great photos!
The huts have saved many lives over the years.
Anita @ NoParticularPlaceToGo 13 February 2017 at 20:01
All of your photos were great, Lyn and I imagine that finding the huts on various hikes and biking trips were big "Yes!" moments as well as reading up on their backstories. I especially loved your first photo of the Cope Hut with its fading blue paint and variegated rust tones and the Geehi "hut" definitely was a class above the others. A fascinating post!
My favourite is also Cope Hut, because of its lovely colours, although Wallace's Hut is in a nice spot for a picnic.
Doreen Pendgracs 14 February 2017 at 05:13
Thx so much for introducing us to the huts of the High Country! Looks like a very fun journey.
We have gone back many times. I have a list of huts I still want to seek out.
Wow those don't look like they have wifi XD just kidding. But they are certainly impressive to take photos of.
Not only no wifi but no mobile phone reception. David and I always let one of our adult sons know where we are headed when we cycle the High Country and when we expect to be back. They are under instructions to check first with the hotel we are staying at and then call the police if we don't ring or sms to say we have returned safely. They are both twenty-somethings so I don't ever want to find out how reliable this system is. The huts do make lovely photos though.
Carole Terwilliger Meyers 14 February 2017 at 14:00
What an intriguing assortment of huts! At first I thought this was Austrian huts, and was confused, then realized it is Australian huts! Thought you might enjoy my story about Heidi's Hut in Switzerland, http://www.berkeleyandbeyond.com/Way-Beyond/Travel-Articles/Abroad/Heidi-s-Hut/heidi-s-hut.html
I think I have read your article on Heidi's Hut already but I am going to check it out again now. Thanks.
RobRob 16 February 2017 at 04:35
How interesting! I love the history and character of the huts. I had no idea these existed, though it makes perfect sense. Thanks for sharing!
Very few people know about them. We only do because we kept stumbling across them while out cycling the high country.
Wendy 16 February 2017 at 14:51
So interesting to read about the Huts of the High Country in the Australian Alps. What a great adventure to consider taking - searching for the huts of the high country. Thanks for sharing this.
I have a lot more huts on my list. They are marked on topographic maps but not all are as easily accessible as the ones we have found so far.
Michele {Malaysian Meanders} 17 February 2017 at 05:29
These must have been such a relief to the people who needed them for shelter. What is the slanted structure on the side of many of these huts? Fireplaces? Very interesting all around. #WkendTravelInspiration
You are right. The structures are fireplaces. I imagine that a roaring fire would make a huge difference to anyone caught out in a blizzard.
Lydia C. Lee 17 February 2017 at 07:33
I love the stone one! (seaman's hut)
The stone one I have a photograph of is Geehi Hut. It is the easiest to get to (in summer) and always has large mobs of kangaroos around it. Seaman's Hut is also stone but I don't have a photo of it.
Jackie and Joel Smith 19 February 2017 at 01:40
Love these huts! Some enterprising tour/hiking company should start doing hut tours. Love the remoteness of these and the ingenuity of their design. Great post!
What a great idea. As far as I know, no-one does tours to the huts, although a lot of school groups hike to them and camp near them.
Karen Warren 19 February 2017 at 06:08
Those huts look so interesting. I love it when you come across a bit of history when you're out hiking.
Absolutely - or driving, or cycling or just wandering about. I didn't learn a lot of history in school. I don't think I was interested enough in it, but I love it now. Especially when you find bits of it in context.
Photo(Geo)grapher 3 March 2017 at 22:24
What intriguing and picturesque huts. Great idea to visit all of them
I wish I could visit them all but without camping I don't think that would be possible. I want to visit as many as I can though.
Del 29 July 2020 at 21:04
It was sad to hear that quite a few high country huts burnt to the ground in the fires earlier this year. Great blog post. I would love to do some walking down there one day.
The Travelling Lindfields 4 August 2020 at 16:59
I didn't know that any the huts were impacted by the fires. What a tragedy.

Violence in narrative has always been part of the "story teller's toolkit," says Levine
By Stephany Nunneley, Wednesday, 3 April 2013 17:57 GMT
Irrational's Ken Levine has voiced his opinion on the violence in games subject – a subject which as cooled recently, but is still hanging around enough to warrant being broached on NPR's On Point radio program with Tom Ashbrook.
Speaking during the show, Levine said violence in narrative has always been a part of the "story teller's toolkit," no matter what the medium and games are no different.
"Violence, for better or for worse, is…going back to the dawn of narrative," Levine said. "I think there's a couple questions here. I remember when I was a kid; I was not a very popular kid. I was a nerdy, little kid. And I didn't have friends because I wasn't very good at socializing, and I found Dungeons & Dragons.
"If you remember, back in the 70s there was this big human cry about Dungeons and Dragons; kids were going off and killing themselves and disappearing into caves. And that happened with comic books and that happened with rock and roll music."
The host, Tom Ashbrook, then brought up the Sandy Hook shooting, and how the result was an instant loss of many lives.
"My point is, for me personally, games were a way around being 'that kid.' I'm not speaking as a scientist here; we can argue the science, but I'm… not the best guy to do that," Levine said.
"I think the other point is they call them first-person shooters; F-P-S. There's the F-P, the first-person aspect of being, inhabiting a character's role, and then there's the S part, which is the shooter part. And I'm not sure that they're necessarily one in the same."
Irrational's BioShock Infinite is out now on PC, PS3, and Xbox 360.

Prohibit smoking in the building. Prohibit smoking outside the building except in designated smoking areas located at least 25 feet (7.5 meters) from all entries, outdoor air intakes, and operable windows. Also prohibit smoking outside the property line in spaces used for business purposes. If the requirement to prohibit smoking within 25 feet (7.5 meters) cannot be implemented because of code, provide documentation of these regulations. Signage must be posted within 10 feet (3 meters) of all building entrances indicating the no smoking policy.
Residential only
Option 1. No Smoking
Meet the requirements above.
Option 2. Compartmentalization of Smoking Areas
Prohibit smoking in all common areas of the building. The prohibition must be communicated in building rental or lease agreements or condo or coop association covenants and restrictions. Make provisions for enforcement. Prohibit smoking outside the building except in designated smoking areas located at least 25 feet (7.5 meters) from all entries, outdoor air intakes, and operable windows. The no-smoking policy also applies to spaces outside the property line used for business purposes. If the requirement to prohibit smoking within 25 feet (7.5 meters) cannot be implemented because of code, provide documentation of these regulations. Signage must be posted within 10 feet (3 meters) of all building entrances indicating the no-smoking policy. Each unit must be compartmentalized to prevent excessive leakage between units:
Weather-strip all exterior doors and operable windows in the residential units to minimize leakage from outdoors.
Weather-strip all doors leading from residential units into common hallways.
Minimize uncontrolled pathways for the transfer of smoke and other indoor air pollutants between residential units by sealing penetrations in the walls, ceilings, and floors and by sealing vertical chases (including utility chases, garbage chutes, mail drops, and elevator shafts) adjacent to the units.
Demonstrate a maximum leakage of 0.50 cubic feet per minute per square foot (2.54 liters per second per square meter) at 50 Pa of enclosure (i.e., all surfaces enclosing the apartment, including exterior and party walls, floors, and ceilings) or establish a baseline for a future 30% improvement.
Demonstrate on a regular basis (at least once every five years) a maximum leakage of 0.50 cubic feet per minute per square foot (2.54 liters per second per square meter) at 50 Pa of enclosure (i.e., all surfaces enclosing the apartment, including exterior and party walls, floors, and ceilings). Projects that do not meet the leakage requirement may demonstrate a 30% improvement over the most recent baseline. The current measurement establishes the new baseline.

Municipal law requires that our building be completely smoke-free inside. It also bans smoking next to the building, but it's not as stringent as the 25 foot LEED requirement. Do we have to make another policy that bans smoking within 25 feet?
We want to designate a smoking area less than 25 feet from an emergency exit. Is this okay since that door is rarely (if ever) used?
What if I have a zero lot line property and no control over the sidewalk?
What about vaping and e-cigarettes?
What about residential balconies?
Add the following language under Campus Approach section:
"Eligible. Projects can demonstrate compliance with a campus-wide no-smoking policy in lieu of building signage. The policy must be widely communicated to all occupants (including transients and visitors) through ongoing methods such as site signage and other media (brochures, websites, etc.)."
Revise first sentence under Campus Approach: Eligible (except for campuses that include Residential projects pursuing Option 2).
Required Documentation section, revise the last documentation requirement in the table so it reads: "Any code restrictions that prevent establishment of no-smoking requirements."
Is the smoking of cannabis covered under the Environmental Tobacco Smoke Control prerequisite?
Yes, smoking of cannabis is considered a form of smoking for the purposes of both the interior and exterior smoking provisions of the LEED Prerequisite Environmental Tobacco Smoke Control.
Secondhand cannabis smoke has been shown to contain many of the same chemicals and carcinogens as secondhand tobacco smoke [1].

Are electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) covered under the Environmental Tobacco Smoke Control prerequisite?
Yes, electronic cigarettes are considered a form of smoking for the purposes of both the interior and exterior smoking provisions of the LEED Prerequisite Environmental Tobacco Smoke Control. As recommended in the December 2013 report[1] prepared for the World Health Organization, "e-cigarettes should be prohibited anywhere where the use of conventional cigarettes is prohibited". The indoor air quality impacts from electronic cigarettes are not fully characterized, but there is sufficient evidence that electronic cigarettes produce emissions in fine aerosol form that can expose building occupants. For example, according to the report, "several chemicals that have been found in e-cigarette aerosol and e-liquid are on California's official list of known human carcinogens or reproductive toxicants, including nicotine, acetaldehyde, formaldehyde, nickel, lead, toluene(1)".

This novel is not for people who have the following characteristics.
1. Reading comprehension problem : People who starts complaining and jump to wrong conclusion without even properly understanding what was said or doesn't even bother to ask the translator and moderators who seem like very helpful people and tries their best to explain everything both in footnotes and comment sections nicely. I saw... more>> plenty of those people in the comment sections.
2. Impatient reader: People who don't even have the time of the day to properly read through the details and just skims through things and ends up missing important points then goes "Hey!!! Why did this happen! It doesn't make any sense!!"..... did you even read....? And then also those who don't even consider that some points will be explained in later chapters as it is a work with overarching plot so they go "What's with this gap in logic, I am through." This is a very complicated story so I suggest if you don't have time to read it carefully or don't have the patience to ponder over the hints and foreshadowings and other such nuances, don't bother with it.
3. Hater type: People who read solely for the sake of criticizing, these people's attitude at least seems that way. They go like "The MC has grown person's memories why does she make blunders, she should just lock herself up in her room to save herself dammit!!" Even if she did do that I am sure they would say "Meh, it's boring since she doesn't do anything."
Look, an adult isn't always omniscient, and if you ever heard of the term "Character development" you would understand why the author made her a blunder prone little girl initially. Moreover, this girl lived as a child for 8 whole years so suddenly having the memories of an adult would not overwrite her tendencies immediately, yeah her personality might be influenced but it is natural for her to remain flustered for a while. I understand that feeling very well as I suffered from amnesia once and suddenly remembered a few things from the past and it felt like it was something weird and was I really like that? Took me a while to adjust to all that.
Anyways, there are also those people who goes like "why are children so mature? This deserve 1 star!" Ok, I agree with you there, the main cast is too mature for their age, well since their personalities aren't annoying who cares? It's just one of the individualities of the novel, does it really matter in the grand scheme of things?
4. Not my taste, 1 star type: Some people doesn't know the basic rule of rating novels so I have seen many novels in this site suffer from atrocious ratings. I was actually going to give this novel a 4 star but gave it 5 considering all the other novels of this genre is inferior to it. Back to the point, just because it is not your taste doesn't mean it's a bad work. So, you don't like this type so why did you even read it? Read the tags properly before you start.
Well, a majority of 1 stars given to this novel were from people I mentioned in the previous 2 categories who either didn't have the patience to see through to the character developments or just plain doesn't like it for no specific reason. Honestly speaking, not a single otome novel in this site have as much research and effort put into them as this work. Most novels usually portray either the author's taste, or stereotypes buttered up in different versions. Yes I am talking about otome novels, because if you are gonna compare a novel you should do so among its peers, I am sure there are plenty of better novels with more interesting plot than this one if we are talking about the entire site. So if you are going to rate it do so impartially and stick to its genre, just because you don't like it doesn't mean it is bad. If you read the entire thing and then find points that are still flawed, you are welcome to make constructive criticisms about it. Don't just arbitrarily throw a 1 star or 2 just because it 'does not fit your taste' after reading 5 chapters or a single arc because as mentioned by many others, this one needs to be read till the 3rd arc properly if you want the gist of things.
This is all I had to say about the negative critics I have seen so far. I admit this work is not perfect, in fact no work can be said to be perfect, authors aren't gods and everyone starts somewhere, this is also this author's 1st work but for that she created something far excellent beyond what an amateur can hope to achieve. The extensive world building, lively characters as well as a mystery filled plot, this makes this novel both addictive and interesting, it should deserve nothing below 3 stars considering all aspects of this novel. People's taste may vary but I am rather disappointed with the negative criticisms because they didn't really point out anything constructive and mostly due to the people's personal taste and mindset being one of the above mentioned types.... except for the children's age disparity part which I also agree to. But I would also like to point out the 'flaws' in the MC shown in the 1st arc is for the sake of character development. From a young girl who suddenly remembered a bunch of strange things out of the blue, prone to accidentally speaking things she shouldn't speak of, sloppy at strategizing, this little girl slowly grows up from the various experiences of the 1st 3 arcs finally into a cautious and noble young teen with a rational mind and careful disposition. She no longer makes silly mistakes, has become a crafty liar, good at covering her attitude and expression so people won't be able to tell what she is thinking. I feel satisfied with her development. Also the other main casts also showed considerable development, especially that black haired snarky kid Klaus.


Students who become ill during the day may seek teacher permission or advice to visit the nurse's office. If the nurse determines that the student is too ill to remain at school, she will contact the parents to inform them of the situation and to arrange transportation for the child. Students should not arrange to leave school for health reasons without first talking with a health care professional at the school.
ASB works to provide a continuum of services for students with mild learning differences, mild language difficulties, students needing extra assistance in specific academic areas and students needing social and/or emotional counseling and social skills training.
At ASB, we understand that student learning and academic achievement is enhanced when students are given both the support and the skills to successfully overcome the various challenges they face during childhood and adolescence. Toward this end, ASB's Middle School counselor provides short-term personal and academic counseling to support 6th, 7th and 8th grade students in addressing the issues impacting their learning and/or their emotional/ social well-being in a developmentally appropriate way. Through counseling services, Middle School students receive support and learn important life skills needed to resolve their unique problems. The counselor regularly collaborates with parents, teachers, school administrators and outside professionals to optimally address the educational, emotional and social needs of students in ASB's Middle School.
Depending on each student's needs, the counselor can help students to: • Improve personal responsibility.
• Strategize for academic or Co-Curricular success.
• Make suitable decisions about friendships, relationships and stressful choices.
• Expand self-concept, self-control and self-reliance.
• Choose courses appropriate for individual interests and talents.
• Get and stay organized.
In addition, the Middle School counselor is an integral part of the decision-making team which helps determine special program needs for students. Likewise, advisors play an active role in the everyday counseling of students and work collaboratively with the Middle School Counselor to ensure the well-being and continued growth of our students.
At ASB, we believe that with appropriate support, students new to the English language can and will succeed in our Middle School. We believe that students learn language best in an authentic setting.

Q: MySQL query doesn't return my username row I have my MySQL database connected to my php code (it works just fine, as I use it at a few other places), and I have a registration/login page. Registration works fine as well, I can see all the details in my database. However, I can't login.
if (isset($_POST['login_btn'])) {
        $username = $_POST['username'];
        $password = $_POST['password'];

        if (empty($username)) { array_push($errors, "Username is required"); }
        if (empty($password)) { array_push($errors, "Password is required"); }
        if (empty($errors)) {
            $password = md5($password);

            $stmt = $conn->prepare("SELECT * FROM users WHERE username='$username' and password='$password' LIMIT 1");
                        $stmt->execute();

            $result = $stmt->get_result();
            if (mysqli_num_rows($result) > 0) {

                $reg_user_id = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)['id'];

                $_SESSION['user'] = getUserById($reg_user_id);

                if ( in_array($_SESSION['user']['role'], ["Admin", "Author"])) {
                    $_SESSION['message'] = "You are now logged in";

                    header('location: ' . BASE_URL . '/admin/dashboard.php');
                    exit(0);
                } else {
                    $_SESSION['message'] = "You are now logged in";

                    header('location: index.php');
                    exit(0);
                }
            } else {
                array_push($errors, 'Wrong credentials');
            }
        }
    }

My code always goes to the else branch ("Wrong credentials"). Looks like it never gets my user row in the first place. I am quite stuck on this one.

A: Try to change that (sql inject prevent) :
$stmt = $conn->prepare("SELECT * FROM users WHERE username='$username' and password='$password' LIMIT 1");
$result = $stmt->get_result();
if (mysqli_num_rows($result) > 0) {

to
$stmt = $conn->prepare("SELECT * FROM users WHERE username=? and password=? ");
$stmt->bind_param('ss',$username,$password);
$stmt->execute();
$result = $stmt->get_result();
if ($result->num_rows > 0) {

Another questions:

*

*Have you try your query into mysql panel?

*Are you sure all variable from POST is ok?

Why you don't use password_verify? (official php)
So like :
if (password_verify($_POST['password'], $user['password'])) {

}

Select $user just with username.
Complete:
$stmt = $conn->prepare("SELECT * FROM users WHERE username=?");
$stmt->bind_param('s',$username);
$stmt->execute();
$result = $stmt->get_result();
if ($result->num_rows > 0) {
 while($user = $result->fetch_array()){

  if (password_verify($_POST['password'], $user['password'])) {
  //start all session var
  }

}
}
