GENERAL: Since writing the above reports, a citizen, whose veracity is vouched for, and who lives in the neighborhood of the battle-ground, says, to his own personal knowledge, there were over 100 of the enemy buried. Estimating the wounded in the small proportion of three to one, we would have 300, or a total of 400, and within 50 of being equal to all we had in the fight.

HDQRS. 1ST Brigadier, 1ST DIV., 9TH ARMY CORPS,
Columbia, Ky., May 21, 1863.
CAPTAIN: By Lieutenant Berry, acting aide-de-camp, I have the honor to forward tri-monthly report for May 20; a report by Lieutenant-Colonel Smith, commanding Twentieth Michigan, of a fight between his command and Morgan's men beyond the Cumberland, and a letter with "Somerset" postmark, addressed to you, which has been sent here.
It gives me great pleasure to report the gallant conduct of the Twentieth Michigan in the late fight at the Narrows. Both officers and men have earned for themselves a splendid reputation. Although they were under fire about eight hours, and all of that time engaged by a vastly superior force of the enemy, the loss of the Twentieth was less than 30 in killed, wounded, and missing. There were several regiments of rebels engaged, and one of them in particular lost in killed and wounded 150 men. This I have from undoubted authority. I can only account for the comparatively small loss of the Twentieth by the superior position which that regiment occupied, and by the advantage which was taken of that position. The brigade has been anxiously awaiting the advent of the gallant General John [H.] Morgan, who has said he will burn this place. Morgan's men have stolen a number of horses within 8 miles of Columbia, but still keep at a respectful distance from the brigade. Morgan has about 6,000 men, with seven field pieces. Should he come on, I hope the First Brigade will give a good account of itself.
I wish I had a battery at this point; it is very much wanted. I engaged to built a bridge over Green River (the bridge burned by Morgan on January 1). This, I hope, will be completed in a very short time and in a creditable manner. The bridge requires to be of a single span, 160 feet from pier to pier. Trains will cross to-morrow, but it will take some time to complete the work. The health of the command is good, and discipline all that could be desired.
I have the honor to be, captain, very respectfully, your obedient servant,
DAVID MORRISON,
Captain GEORGE A. HICKS,
Assistant Adjutant-General, First Division.

It's the annual A level jamboree, where hard-working students across the land are told their efforts are less worthy than their predecessors.
Some 18-year-olds will have secured their dream ticket today, some will be frantically searching for theirs, while the majority will be looking on nonplussed.
Institutions (and this year, it will be nearly all institutions) will be looking nervously towards their fortunes in clearing. It's a good year to be a prospective applicant, with places available nearly everywhere. But is it evidence of a fully functional higher education market, or just a grim battle for viability now the caps are off?
Overall, today's A level results are relatively "stable" compared to previous years, especially considering the reforms that are still working their way through the system. However, the dark arts of grading always partly ensure that this is the case. According to the Joint Council for Qualifications (JCQ – a coalition of all the awarding bodies), grade boundaries are set each year for each subject to "maintain standards and allow for year-on-year differences in papers and questions". This combines data such as prior student attainment with "expert judgement" of students' performance. The regulator, Ofqual, uses the "comparable outcomes" statistical methodology to ensure fairness to each cohort.
The reforms started under Michael Gove were apparently "to meet the needs of higher education", including more maths in geography and more examinations over coursework- although he's not exactly famous for being the sector's friend. Much of the changes were made before 2015 through the A Level Content Advisory Board(ALCAB), in consultation with (some of) the sector. However, some people will distinctly remember the approach taken by the Department for Education (DfE) during that period, especially Gove's special advisers. The reforms also make year-on-year comparisons tricky, for instance with AS levels rapidly fading away in England, but still used in Wales and Northern Ireland.
In terms of overall UK outcomes, 8% got an A* (-0.3% on last year and the lowest since 2013), 26.4% got A*-A (up 0.1% on last year and the highest since 2012), 97.6% got A*-E, -0.3%. 8.5% of males got A* (-0.3% on last year), and 7.6% of females did (-0.2%).
Of particular note is plummeting numbers of students taking modern languages, with Spanish, French and German all down. Chinese is now more popular than the latter, with Russian also seeing an increase. This continues a years-long trend that also reaches into higher education and beyond. So far policy interventions have had little effect – maybe the idea of all those trade deals to negotiate around the world will focus governmental attention a little bit.
The gender split in subject choice is remarkable. Mathematics is the most popular subject for males, whereas Psychology is the most popular for females.
There continues to be an increase in entries to "facilitating subjects" (52.5% this year, 51.7% last year), in part driven by the government's – eerily similar – EBacc performance measure for schools. However, that rise hides considerable variation. STEM subjects continue to increase in popularity, taken by 36.2% of students this year. Maths is up 2.5% and computing 23.9% (though from a very small base). STEM subjects are still more popular with males (45.9%) than females (28.3%), though that is slowly changing. Males outperform females in maths and chemistry, while females perform better in design and technology, physics, computing and biology. By contrast, humanities subjects decreased in popularity, with history down -2.7%, English literature -4.6%, and geography -11.3%. After enquiring we were told that arts subjects were for a "small but steady" group.
The total number of UK entries (811,776) continues to fall (-2% this year, -1% in 2017). However, this is at a slower rate than the fall in the number of 18-year-olds (-3.5%, -1.7% in 2017). This makes for a record proportion of 18-year-olds entering higher education in England (27.9%) and Wales (26.3%). The figures in Northern Ireland (28.1%) and – from last week – in Scotland (25.9%) are high, but not records.
So far 353,960 people across the UK have been accepted, 2% lower than last year. Of those accepted, 88% will be studying their first choice course.
The chart above shows the proportion of students going into clearing over the last decade. In 2018 slightly fewer students hold offers (97,330) compared to last year (-3.07%) – though this needs to be considered in the context of slightly fewer 18-year-olds and applicants. Last year 66,865 people were accepted through clearing, with 16,950 of those applying directly once they got their results. At nearly all institutions, clearing is an always-on process, becoming ever-more agile and data-led.
The above chart shows the volumes of students over the last decade placed in each group of subjects, as defined (still!) by JACS3. Note that subjects allied to medicine, which includes nursing, has fallen by 2,010 students (-4.7%) over the last two years, to 43,150. Similarly, those studying education have fallen by 680 students (-4.8%) since 2016, to 14,780.
A record proportion (16.1%) of disadvantaged students have been accepted, 0.4% more than last year. But disappointingly, the gap between advantaged and less well-off students entering university hasn't changed much since last year, with some social mobility in the wrong direction. Those from quintile 1 areas (with the lowest higher education participation) have fallen by 260 (-0.4%) while those from quintile 5 (highest participation areas) have risen by 1,000 (0.27%).
The CBI has been making a lot of noise about regional inequality this year. 2018 has not been great for young people in the North East, with a sharp downturn in entry rates (one whole percentage point) since this point last year. We also see – albeit smaller – downturns in Yorkshire and the Humber, and the West Midlands. Meanwhile, London and the South East continue to power ahead.
Scotland once again dips below Wales as the region with the lowest participation rate at this point in the calendar, after participation in Wales climbs by one-and-a-half percentage points. Clearly, the post-Diamond settlement is proving attractive.
Further afield, 26,400 EU students have been accepted, an increase of 1%, alongside a record 31,510 (+4%) international students from outside the EU.
As is often the case at Wonkhe, we feel confident we could write each newspaper's headlines in advance whatever the actual story. Today the Telegraph goes with "Highest number of top grades for six years despite new 'tougher' exams", while the Guardian trumps for "Proportion of students in England getting C or above falls".
But, be it grade inflation, constant reforms or artificially high barriers, we should keep in mind that these results represent the culmination of years of very hard work for hundreds of thousands of people.
A number of people have been talking about the demographic shift today – basically the variation in the number of 18 year olds year by year. We've gotten estimates (based on actual data) and predictions (based on fertility, family size and immigration trends) from the ONS, and graphed them alongside acceptances (end of cycle, so I haven't got 2018). As can be seen, there are still plenty of 18 year olds out there to recruit!


Vulnerabilidade de mulheres em união heterossexual estável à infecção pelo HIV/Aids: estudo de representações sociais. / [Vulnerability of women in common-law marriage to becoming infected with HIV/AIDS: a study of social representations].
Rodrigues, Larissa Silva Abreu; Paiva, Mirian Santos; de Oliveira, Jeane Freitas; da Nóbrega, Sheva Maia.
Rev Esc Enferm USP; 46(2): 349-55, 2012 Apr.
This article discusses the social representations of women living in common-law marriage in terms of their vulnerability to becoming infected with HIV/AIDS. Data were obtained through the free association of words, and consisted of an excerpt of a study founded on the Social Representations Theory developed with HIV-negative women living in the state capital and cities in the interior of Bahia. The correspondence factor analysis showed significance for the variables: origin, education level and time spent in common-law marriage. Their acceptance of marital affairs emerged as a vulnerability factor for respondents with one to five years spent in common-law marriage, living in cities in the interior. Women from the capital, with 6-10 years spent in common-law marriage, reported monogamy as a form of prevention. Women with a longer common-law marriage who had completed only a primary education reported feeling invulnerable, which was the opposite of those with one to five years in common-law marriage with a secondary education. Results show there is a need for more interventions aiming to denaturalize the socio-cultural coercions that generate representations and make women in common-law marriages more vulnerable to AIDS.

UK bank launches cheapest ever mortgage rate at 0.89% but there's a MAJOR catch
Edmond Harrisonon April 24, 2017 Leave a Comment on UK bank launches cheapest ever mortgage rate at 0.89% but there's a MAJOR catch
HOMEBUYERS are being offered their lowest ever mortgage rate in Britain at an astonishingly cheap 0.89 per cent.
But credit hunters will have to pay a whopping £1,495 fee to secure the "discounted Standard Variable Rate".
Yorkshire Building Society stepped up to offer the close-to-zero rate to those who have 35 per cent deposits or more.
It comes after it became cheaper for banks to borrow money and amid news that home buying has slowed on last year.
Interest rates have not increased for eight years and it's a case of when not if the Bank of England will raise the base rate.
The 0.89 per cent deal matches Yorkshire's current Standard Variable Rate (SVR), which is 4.74 per cent, but the new mortgage comes with a discount of 3.85 per cent for two years.
Aside from the hefty lump sum to secure it, there is a chance the SVR could rise which could leave borrowers at risk from higher repayments.
One thing we do know is inflation is higher and that is eating into household monthly budgets
David Hollingworth, Associate Director Communications, at L&C Mortgages
David Hollingworth, Associate Director Communications, at L&C Mortgages, said: "It's so hard to tell what will happen with interest rates as there are other things in the mix with an election and Brexit on the horizon.
"One thing we do know is inflation is higher and that is eating into household monthly budgets."
The news comes after UK retail sales posted their biggest quarterly fall in seven years in March, as the prices of everyday goods continued to climb.

They were down 1.4 per cent on the preceding quarter, and down 1.8% compared with February 2017, according to the Office for National Statistics.
Kate Davies, senior statistician at the ONS, said: "This is the first time we've seen a quarterly decline since 2013, and it seems to be a consequence of price increases across a whole range of sectors."

Q: Can it rain upsidedown? Is it possible for it to rain upside down? I am guessing this would happen if the reason rain lighter than the atmosphere. Is there any combination of liquid and atmosphere which could cause it to rain upsidedown?

A:
Can it rain upside-down?

Inside of clouds, yes. The very smallest water particles in a cloud are minimally effected by gravity. This is an extremely low Reynolds number domain. Drag is by far the dominant force on the very smallest water particles in a cloud. They go whichever way the wind blows.
The wind can blow up in thunderstorms, sometimes so very much upward that even larger rain particles get caught in the updraft. Those rain particles freeze if that updraft carries rain particles above the freezing line. The growing hailstone can hover near the top of the cloud for some time before it gets so massive that it falls to Earth.

A Utah woman is going to give birth to two children, possibly a week apart, because she has two buns growing in her separate ovens. Yes, Angie Cromar has two uteruses, and both of them are knocked up.
At her first ultrasound, Cromar learned that she wasn't having twins, but she has two separate birthing organs and that both have a fertilized egg in them. And they weren't conceived at the same time. "(The doctor) said I'm five weeks and four days in one, and six weeks and one day in the other," she says. The doctor also says there are fewer than 100 incidents of a woman being double pregnant reported worldwide. Because a story like this wouldn't be fun without any ironies, guess what Cromar does for a living? She's a labor and delivery nurse! We bet the sitcom based on her life will be called Two Perfect.

Q: Can we list more blog posts per page? I love the new blog format, but paging back to find an older blog post is somewhat arduous — there are only five short excerpts per page.
Instead of scrolling down a short ways to click 'older', scroll, older, scroll, older… can we see more blog posts per page?
There's really not all that much content on each page; I'm sure the vast majority of users have enough bandwidth to see more than just those few excerpts per page. Can we up that to about 20?

A: I agree, a link to "older posts" isn't a good way to browse a blog, especially having to click/scroll/click/scroll/etc just to get back to where you were reading previously.
The tags work well, but perhaps in addition to those and more posts per page, have a calender in the side bar.
with all blog posts being a link in the calender for date posted.


#Bookmarks: To remember this journey.
Reminder: You are God's poem. God's workmanship.
2 I wish you could know how much I have struggled for you and for the church in Laodicea, and for the many other friends I've yet to meet. 2 I am contending for you that your hearts will be wrapped in the comfort of heaven and woven together into love's fabric. This will give you access[b] to all the riches of God as you experience the revelation of God's great mystery—Christ.
3 For our spiritual wealth is in him, like hidden treasure waiting to be discovered—heaven's wisdom and endless riches of revelation knowledge.
May you feel the pleasure of God, His divine delight as you eat at His table. May the bread of life multiply and prosper in your life.
May you delight in His smile all the days of your life.
May you know the thoughts of His heart.
May you know the beauty of His ways.
Yesterday: Heard this song for the first time- Baruch Hashem Adonai.
Jesus – The Bread of Life.
He shall multiply. He shall prosper. He shall fill the earth. Bread shall multiply in your hands. The name of Jesus shall multiply and prosper in all nations.
Graciously, patiently, He answered, "I am the bread of life." Yet this became another moment of rejection instead of faith. Perhaps some couldn't make the connection He was trying to make between the earthly provision of the day before and the eternal, spiritual provision He Himself was presenting to them. The Scriptures make clear that others were stumbled by their offended intellects that couldn't or wouldn't make the necessary adjustments to rethink what they knew about God and the coming Messiah (John 6:52, 60, and 66).
The lessons? Too many to expand upon here. But one is how easy it is to not see that He Himself is not just the Source of our Provision, but He Himself is what we are looking for. He is our Provision. He is our Portion.
At that moment, I felt that the river had to be light.
And God confirmed that in a short while.
Something new: And God gave him skin. God did not kill an animal and wrap its skin around the man.
People say, 'Empty your minds to find peace.' I don't know how that works for them, but if you just meditate on this truth, peace shall explode in your mind.
This is the perfect peace that He's given to us. A peace that passes understanding.

DC to Publish Long-Lost Superman Story From 1945 in Celebration of Action Comics #1000
Charles Pulliam-Moore
Filed to:Superman
Image: DC Comics
A long-thought-lost Superman story, likely written by co-creator Jerry Siegel, is set to be published by DC Comics in celebration of its landmark Action Comics #1000. And this particular story has a very interesting past.
Years before he went on to become one of DC's most prolific and respected writers, Marv Wolfman was a regular comic book fan who had the chance to visit the offices where his favorite superheroes were brought to life with ink and paper. There he happened upon "Too Many Heroes," a discarded 12-page comic from 1945—thought to be written by Siegel and illustrated in co-creator Joe Shuster's studio—that never made it to print. The sole copy of the story had been with Wolfman this entire time, but this April, in celebration of Action Comics' 1000th issue, "Too Many Heroes" is finally being released as part of 80 Years of Superman, a hardcover collection of historical comics that helped define the Man of Steel.
Speaking to Newsweek, DC publisher Paul Levitz explained that while the company isn't 100 percent certain whether Siegel and Shuster actually worked directly with each other on "Too Many Heroes," receipts from the time confirming Siegel's payment for the script have been identified. In addition to the rare new addition to Superman's history, 80 Years of Superman will also include essays penned by comics giants, including New Super-Man's Gene Luen Yang, about the character's lasting cultural legacy. Laura Siegel Larson, Siegel's daughter, also contributed some words to the collection.
The 384-page tribute to Clark Kent will also feature a number of new comics, but it'll be especially nifty to see whether Siegel and Shuster knew all the way back in 1945 that someday the world would be overrun with enough costumed vigilantes to give Superman a headache.
Action Comics #1000: 80 Years of Superman hits stands on April 19.

TURANDOT – a director's triumph
review by Cecilia Xuereb
The Sunday Times – November 2, 2008
Opera lovers in search of a sumptuous and traditional Turandot are sure to have enjoyed Mario Corradi's production of the opera at the Astra Theatre in Gozo on October 23 and 25. Corradi created a lavishly detailed production, with the action kept generally to the fore, the singers always visible amid the panoply of chinoserie that could have engulfed them, though the exquisite costumes did draw the eye unfailingly.
At the same time, he gave a focus to his production that was deeply thought-out and that with its touches suggested new ways of thinking about the opera. Foremost among these was the treatment of Ping, Pong and Pang. These are characters or masks that the librettists, Adami and Simoni borrowed from the old commedia dell'arte. As such, they are essentially comic characters, not really part of the main action, although, in some way connected with it both dramatically and musically.
Corradi however, goes beyond this traditional presentation. For him, as he says in his illuminating programme note, the masks represent the author himself who "as the action unfolds, comments on the absurdity of the story, but of human love and the excesses of human love." The director made this statement immediately by presenting them in modern evening clothes. They are outside the action but they are also inside it.
Corradi abandoned their conventional stereotyped presentation and they appeared as human beings even while they retained their role as a link in the structure of Puccini's work.
At one end stood Calaf, Liù and Timur, individuals with full human emotions and at the other Turandot herself, who denies her emotions, and the people of Peking, who are emotionally frozen by her influence.
Caught between these extremes, these three characters show human feelings. They feel sorry for Calaf, even protecting him physically by trying to cage him up, but they also cynically argue that he should enjoy a hundred spouses rather than one reluctant Turandot.
Puccini had been writing about love all his life: like his Tosca in Vissi d'Arte he had lived for love and music, but now as he approached his end, having been obliged to leave his home in Torre del Lago because of local animosity. He was also feeling the animosity of young composers who felt Italian music should be going along new paths and he started looking at love and life differently.
Turandot herself is distant and remote, a fact emphasised in the first act by her brief appearance at a distant window from where she simply appears, a figure, remote and mysterious, making the decisive signal for the death of the Prince of Persia. But for Corradi she is not the embodiment of cruelty but rather a woman who "struggles to become a woman". She does not hate men, but does not trust them and will only yield to her femininity when she finds a man who is her equal intellectually.
For this reason in the second act, the riddles act, Corradi presents Turandot encased in a golden monument. When she sang her great aria In questa reggia, which is probably the greatest aria in the opera, only her face was visible. As Calaf solves one riddle after another, this monument gradually collapses and becomes stairs that will lead her to more normal feelings. What this does not explain is her initial resentment at Calaf's success and her appeal to the Emperor to release her from her oath.
Musically Turandot marks yet another turning point in Puccini's carreer. He was the last of the 19th century operatic traditional in the age of Ravel, Stravinsky, and Schoenberg when young Italian composers, little known today, but powerful enough in their own time were attacking him and demanding that Italian music forsake the 19th century operatic tradition. Although he resisted these influences, perhaps inspite of himself in last opera, he could not avoid working in a new way.
The music of Turandot certainly could not have been written at the beginning of his career. The pavilion music of the masks at the beginning of Act II, for instance, resembles that of Ravel in his Mother Goose Suite. The eerie music with its clashing chords, quiet trombones and harp plus strings and percussion in Act I has a definitely modernistic sound. The orchestration uses many percussion instruments, both those tuned to give pitched notes and those which create an untuned sound.
Puccini uses Oriental effects, as well as Chinese tunes. The rythyms of music keep changing with the action and the quality of the sound changes with the characters. Frenzied climaxes give way to gentler moods; loud, brash music expressing Turandot's Peking alternates with gentle flowing music depicting the warm loving and personal characters of Liù, Calaf and Timur.
Joseph Vella conducting the National Philharmonic Orchestra relished in its glamour and at the same time pin-pointed harmonic and rhythmic detail. Only rarely did the music drown the singers, and when these could not be understood it was a matter of articulation on their part, rather than of balance.
This was particularly the case with soprano Francesca Patanè who was an imposing Turandot, giving a hundred per cent dramatically and vocally. She has a powerful voice that can be rich and lustrous in her middle register, but which is rather screechy at the top.
Her discomfort in this register affected her diction an it was rather unfortunate that the words of the aria (In questa reggia) – an important moment for our understanding of her character – were incomprehensible. This is a very demanding aria with the melodic line continuously rising. Equally incomprehensive were the words of the three enigmas. She was most at her ease in the splendid love duet that concludes the opera.
Tenor Antonino Interisano was a portly Calaf with another powerful voice with real squillo. He was undaunted by the demands made on him by the part, even though in preparation for the last note of Nessun dorma he cut short the preceding notes. His Non piangere, Liù in Act I flowed gently as did Miriam Cauchi's Signore ascolta. During the first performance on Thursday, Cauchi's lustrous voice, exquisitely controlled, was at its best in the last act when she spoke of her love for Calaf. Warm and vulnerable, she was a perfect foil for the cold and powerful Turandot. Her death is set to a march, grave and dignified. It is music Liù deserves and tha Cauchi sang with heartfelt pathos.
Franco de Grandis's bass does not have an over-generous tone but it served well the part of Timur. Vocally the best of the three masks was baritone Marco Chingari, admirable for his professionalism as an actor and for his firm singing.
A solid supporting cast and good singing from the choir kept the music and action moving. An attractive set functioned well in all three acts and necessitated no complicated scene shifting with consequent waste of time.

Probation is sentencing. It is usually used in lieu of or in conjunction with a jail sentence. Probation has rules. When you receive your probation instructions, either verbally, in writing, or both, then you need to pay very careful attention. Violations of Probation (VOP) are treated very seriously. In most cases, you must either personally meet with a probation officer or call in. In many cases, you are tested for drugs and alcohol. However, if you comply, it does keep you out of jail. Your probation officer has the right to penalize you. If you fail to show up for a meeting, that is a violation. If you test positive for drugs or alcohol, that is a violation. Other violations include, but are not limited to possession of firearms, leaving a restricted area, being late for a meeting, or not serving community service. Your probation officer can warn you. He or she can also recommend additional jail time, and, quite often, a warrant will be issued for your arrest. Then, you have a new charge and serve additional time. You may not realize it at first, or you may, but VOP can be as severe as your original sentence for the crime that you committed. Or, in some cases, you may have to start the entire probation process over again. Should you need to consult a criminal defense attorney about your options or the process, send your email address and question confidentially to Joneslaw08@gmail.com.

← Concept cover for 'A Game Called Dead', the second Frank Nagler mystery.
It is your face, that sweet light, that lingers.
Not the smile so coldly perfect it dazzles, but the one with the crooked worried lower lip, the one of love and loss and uncertainty; the one that invites. I hadn't expected it.
A crowd like a blur passing; sounds a jumble, then fading; time like crystal, stopping.
And we, the day before unknown, stood seemingly still at the center of that swirl expecting without reason the other would be there.
That is that tease, that wink, your moist tongue on an open mouth. Come. Love, the mystic dark energy.
The taste of each, searching, giving.
Lying together, your face would be soft, your skin like powder; your eyes would flash with desire, then darken with question; a kiss for each, lingering lips to taste your light.
What holds as the edges fray to atoms, and the atoms rattle like time into memory?
To old men in straw hats rocking on a shaded porch, mopping away time with white handkerchiefs, we would be a dream, a ripple in the dimness of youth. "I remember her," one would say, and the others would nod; shared nostalgia, forgetting the surprise, the joy, then the void, the memory painless.
What should have been stillness, was motion.
Instead of staying, we ricocheted.
Collided, the emotions raw; spun away bruised, trailing an ache behind, unsettled mist.
Curse the old men and soft remembrances, the fog of time. Curse the distance, the loss.

Q: NSMethodSignature in Swift In ObjC I have:
NSMethodSignature *ms = [[object.target class] instanceMethodSignatureForSelector:object.selector];
NSInvocation *invocation = [NSInvocation invocationWithMethodSignature:ms];

In Swift I get error:
'NSObject' does not have a member named 'instanceMethodSignatureForSelector'

When I try this:
var ms:NSMethodSignature? = (object.target.dynamicType as NSObject).instanceMethodSignatureForSelector(object.success)

A: There are no invocations in Swift. But perhaps you never needed an invocation here:
NSMethodSignature *ms =
    [[object.target class] instanceMethodSignatureForSelector:object.selector];

So at some time you formed or had access to an object (object) with a target and a selector. This suggests that at that time you could have formed a closure in which you call that method on that target. For example:
let clos = {() -> () in object.someMethod(); return; }

Now you have a value clos of type () -> () that you can store, pass around, and so forth. When the time comes, you just call it:
clos()

Or, depending on the circumstances, you can store a reference to that method directly:
let funcref = object.someMethod

Again, you can later call it:
funcref()

Now that we have closures and functions as first-class linguistic citizens, the dynamism of Objective-C will turn out to have been, in many cases, just a crutch that is no longer needed.
And if you find that you really, really did need it, Objective-C has not gone away and you can mix it into your project.

A: Getting a method signature is rather easy:
var target = NSObject()
var selector = Selector("success")

var signature: NSMethodSignature? = target.methodSignatureForSelector(selector)

However, using NSInvocation is forbidden:

Rethink your approach.

A: An addon to @matt's answer...
If you have multiple functions with the same name and different parameters, you should ensure that the function reference is pointing to the intended function.
let funcref: () -> () = object.funcName

If you do NOT do this, unexpected things happen (if you don't just get an error). Let's take a look!

Scenario 1:
func doStuff (withThis: Any) {}

func doStuff (withThis: Any, andThis: Any, alsoThis: Any) {}

let funcref = doStuff

In this case, no error is given and funcref is equal to the function with the most parameters.
This only occurs when:
    • One function takes exactly 1 parameter
    • The other function takes more than 1 parameter

Scenario 2:
func doStuff (withThis: Any) {}

func doStuff () {}

let funcref = doStuff

In this case, no error is given and funcref is equal to the function with NO parameters.
This only occurs when:
    • One function takes NO parameters
    • The other function takes exactly 1 parameter

Scenario 3:
func doStuff () {}

func doStuff (withThis: Any) {}

func doStuff (withThis: Any, andThis: Any) {}

func doStuff (withThis: Any, andThis: Any, alsoThis: Any) {}

let funcref = doStuff

In this case, funcref's line will give the error:
Could not find an overload for 'doStuff' that accepts the supplied arguments
This only occurs when:
    • There are more than 3 functions that take 1 or more parameters and have the same name

Scenario 4:
func doStuff () {}

func doStuff (withThis: Any, andThis: Any) {}

let funcref = doStuff

In this case, funcref's line will give the error:
Ambiguous use of 'doStuff'.
This only occurs when:
    • All the above scenarios are not relevant


Back in 2016 On launched their Cloudventure trail shoe. This was a labour of love for them. They were having huge success with their road shoes but they really wanted a trail shoe because the founders of the company really love running in their native Swiss Alps! That sums up the company for me – they create the shoes that they would really love to run in!
They have just launched the new version of the Cloudventure. The key difference is the newly developed MissiongripTM outsole. Because grip is so important on a trail shoe, this new outsole features a varied grip pattern to make sure runners remain sure footed on the trail. The MissiongripTM also acts to reinforce the Cloudtec cushioning on the sole.
The shoes still feature the hallmark On 'Clouds', which are made from Zero Gravity foam and positioned to simultaneously absorb impact and improve grip on unstable terrain. On's aim is that as well as providing great grip, these shoes will really allow runners to let rip on the downhills.
A fully waterproof version is also available if you want to keep your feet warm and dry on the trails.
So if you're looking for a shoe which has the cushioning and comfort of a road shoe, but the grip of a trail shoe, the Cloudventure might be worth a look. We are hoping to get a pair to review and will report back if we do.

Dennis Haysbert Teams with TBN for Documentary on the Faith
The series debuts in January and focuses on how Christianity spread around the globe.
Dennis Haysbert in a clip from TBN's "Inexplicable: How Christianity Spread to the Ends of the Earth."
The Trinity Broadcasting Network program is called Inexplicable: How Christianity Spread to the Ends of the Earth and it will feature actor Dennis Haysbert as the narrator. Best known for his roles in the TV series 24 and The Unit, he uncharacteristically sports an au naturel beard in this one (it's gone gray, as you can see in the picture above). But Haysbert brings that familiar smooth, deep voice that makes him perfect for this voice-over role.
The documentary is a six-part series and it focuses on how the Gospel message spread from Jesus' 12 Apostles in the Holy Land to a modern following estimated at two billion Believers around the world. It will feature expert interviews and what a TBN press release calls "groundbreaking footage." There will also be a geographic flavor to the show, with each of four episodes devoted to one of the following regions: Europe, Latin America, North America and Asia.
Christian Film Blog is not sure exactly where Haysbert stands in terms of his faith, though he did play a lead role in the top grossing Christian film of this year, Breakthrough, but he is clearly looking forward to this important project, saying he's "delighted to join TBN" in the endeavor.
"Christianity has made an astounding impact on and throughout every continent, and in Inexplicable we are taking a deep look at how that happened."
The documentary series is part of a larger 2020 project from TBN, called The State of the Faith, that will examine where things stand with Christianity around the world. As for Inexplicable: How Christianity Spread to the Ends of the Earth, episode one debuts on the network January 13th of next year. Until then, you can check out a preview via this link.

Samsung officially announces the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge
Cyrus, 3 years ago 0 5 min read 235
The Unpacked event just got over and the Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 edge were officially unveiled. Earlier we got some of the specs, and we are happy to say most of them were in line. The Galaxy S7 and the Galaxy S7 edge both are beasts when it comes to raw power due to the Exynos 8890 and Snapdragon 820 chipsets. If that wasn't enough, the devices house 4GB LPDDR4 RAM to speed things up.
The Galaxy S7 and S7 edge have surpassed the competition when it comes to graphical performance, joining hands with Epic Studios to come up with Next Gen Console like immersive gaming experience. The Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge come with the new Vulcan API for gaming that Android 6.0 introduced to the platform, and Samsung has also built-in quite a few tools and features of its own to improve the gaming experience. Not only that but users are also getting $200 worth of in-game currency to use. While we are on the topic of gaming, it is also worth mentioning that the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge both come with "Liquid Cooling", which keeps the heating at bay, for those long gaming sessions.
We are also rejoiced to say, Samsung have heard the cries of its customers and brought back the microSD card slot (slow applause). Both the devices can support upto 200GB, which is more than enough even for the power user. Internal storage options are 32GB or 64, though 128GB could be in the pipeline too but was not mentioned at the event.
Talking a bit about the design, the S7 and S7 edge both bring back the metal and glass body of their predecessors. Though a few changes have been made which are more than welcome especially for the S7 edge. A lot of people had complained that the Galaxy S6 edge plus did not feel right in the hand, it had no grip. Samsung have rectified this, by using 3D thermal forming to make an ergonomic back, which gives it a much better grip.
Now, lets talk about the camera, if increasing mega pixels was the way to go, then Samsung have taken a step back. Though, this is not true (some may argue that it is, but then that's their opinion), the lens is what makes the difference. The Galaxy S7 and S7 edge come with the first ever Dual Pixel camera, which means that auto focus speed has bumped up quite a bit, as compared to the S6, which was considered to have the best camera, is quite impressive. The 12.2 MP camera sensor has an aperture of f/1.7 which means can take in more light, this alone is not enough, each pixel has been made bigger (1.4 micron), when these two combine, night time pictures will be a whole lot of fun. The front of the camera houses a 5MP camera but with the same f/1.7, so even low light selfies will come out much more brighter.
The Galaxy S7 and S7 edge come with a 5.1 and a 5.5 inch QHD Super AMOLED display respectively covered with Gorilla Glass 5. No matter how gorgeous the display looks, some people find it troublesome to keep on picking their devices to see the time for example. This problem has now been solved with Always-on Display, it can even be customized the way you like for a more personal feel.
When it comes to protection the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge are both IP68 certified, which means they are Water Resistant and Dust Proof. So, it can survive under 5 feet of water for up to 30 minutes. Underwater pool pictures anyone?
The colors available for both the devices are Onyx Black, Titanium Silver, Gold Platinum and White Pearl. On the pricing front the devices will cost Euro 699 and 799 respectively and will be available from March 11th. If you preorder either of the devices you will get a Gear VR with it.
Samsung Galaxy S7 Specs:

Q: Refreshing the page submits the form repeatedly I have a simple form in a page.The form is submitting to the same page.After form submission when i click browser refresh button it asks to resend the form and when i click resend it submits the form again.
Is there any issue with my code or its normal browser behavior?
Is there any way to prevent this..

A: This a normal behavior of the browser.You can prevent this,by redirecting to some other page once the current form is submitted.
The common solution to that is to send a redirect to a GET request after executing the POST request. This way the client will end up having the GET request in the browser view. Refreshing this will then only re-execute the GET request which doesn't (shouldn't) modify anything.

A: That is normal behaviour. To prevent use another page to submit to and redirect back to the form.

A: Is normal behavior. When you submit the form, even if is to the same page, the browser makes a request. The refresh button sends the same request. Hence the multiple submissions.
And no... you can't do anything about it, except maybe ajax submitting the form.

A: this is normal behaviour of browsers, if it detects a POST request and you refresh the page, your browser will automatically ask you if it has to send the request again. To prevent that.. well.. you could simply redirect to another page, or double check the form submissions on server side (see if there are no double)

A: This is a normal behaviour, but you can add, at the end of your treatment, a redirection to the same page without POST:
<?php
// set to true to display a waiting message "Thanks you, you will be redirected in 5 sec."
$wait_before_refresh = false;
if (isset($_POST['myButton']))
{
  // process to your checks, do whatever you want
  // ...
  if ($wait_before_refresh)
  {
    $html_redirect = <<<HTML_REDIR
<!DOCTYPE html>
<title>Thanks you !</title>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5;URL='/'" />

Thanks you, you will be redirected in 5 sec.
HTML_REDIR;
    echo $html_redirect;
  }
  else
  {
    header('Location : /');
    exit;
  }
}
?>
<form method="POST" action="/"><input type="submit" name="myButton" value="clicked" /></form>

Jersey, Italy and Germany claim wins at ICC T20 World Cup Europe qualifier
By Michael Pavitt
Jersey, Italy and Germany earned victories on the opening day of the International Cricket Council (ICC) T20 World Cup Europe qualifier.
The first day saw hosts Guernsey and Norway feature in two matches, but neither proved able to claim a victory.
An unbeaten 65 from Josh Buttler had helped Guernsey set Norway a target of 109 to win from their 20 overs at the King George V Sports Ground.
Jersey were able to reach the target with more than five overs to spare, Corey Bisson top scoring with 54.
The hosts faced Germany in their second match of the day and were bowled out for 177, after being put in to bat first.
Germany made steady progress to their target, which they reached with three overs left to bowl.
Rain impacted proceedings at College Field in Saint Peter Port, where Norway had set Italy a target of 152 to win.
With Italy having scored 85-1 after 10 overs, the weather conditions led to the match being halted, with the Italians winning by 20 runs under the Duckworth Lewis Method.
Gue v Ger
Germany Won By 5 wickets
Ger 118 for 5 (17.0 overs)
Meschede (27) 44 (26)
Mangal (24) 2 (6)#totalcricketscorer
— Guernsey Cricket (@guernseycricket) June 15, 2019
Norway had been due to face Denmark in their second match but rain saw play called off.
A further four group matches are set to take place tomorrow.
The group winners will advance to the 14-team ICC T20 World Cup qualifier in the United Arab Emirates.
The host nation will compete in the event in October, along with Scotland, Zimbabwe, the Netherlands, Hong Kong, Oman and Ireland, who qualified due to their ranking at the last World Cup.
Papua New Guinea will be the Asia-Pacific representative, while Kenya and Namibia earned places at the African qualifier.
One Asian and two Americas places at the qualifier will be determined at regional events in July and August, respectively.

Earlier I had written a post on how to detect WiFi leechers on your network and mentioned a couple of smartphone apps you could use to scan your home network. The apps do a pretty good job of scanning your network automatically and giving you some details on each device.
I didn't go into much detail about the apps in that post since it was focused on catching unauthorized users on your network. In this article, I'll talk in more detail about these two apps that can be used on Apple or Android devices and I'll also mention desktop apps that you can run on Windows and Mac OS X.
These network scanning tools allow you to not only see all the devices on your network and their IP addresses, but also view folders shares, open TCP/UDP ports, hardware MAC addresses and more. So why would you care about this information?
Though it's a bit technical, the information can help you make your network more secure. For example, you may find folders that are being shared on your network by accident. Anyone who connects to your network via cable or wireless could then easily search for shared folders and copy that data to their computer.
When looking at open ports for a computer or device, you can easily see whether remote desktop is enabled, whether an FTP or HTTP server is running and whether file sharing is enabled or not. If you never connect to your computer remotely, then having remote desktop enabled is just a security risk.
Let's start off with a free tool for Windows PCs called SoftPerfect Network Scanner. I like this tool because it's updated often, runs on Windows 10 and has a 32-bit and 64-bit version. The program also doesn't require any installation, which means you can carry it on a USB stick or save it to Dropbox and use it on any computer you want.
When you run the executable file for your version of Windows (determine if you have 32-bit or 64-bit Windows), you might see a message saying that Windows Firewall has blocked the program. Make sure Private networks is checked and then click on Allow access.
Once the program loads, you'll need to enter your network starting and ending IP address range. If you don't know this, don't worry. Just click on Options, IP Address and then click on Auto Detect Local IP Range.
You'll get a popup window with the detected IP addresses for IPv4 and IPv6 on any network cards you have installed, including virtual ones. For most home users, you're only going to see one item listed under both IPv4 and IPv6. Unless you have IPv6 setup, you should click on the network card listed under IPv4.
Now you'll be brought to the main interface again, but now the IP address range will be filled in. You'll see the Start Scanning button at the right, which you can click to start a scan.
However, you should first set the scanning options before performing a scan. Click on Options and then Program Options. On the General tab, the only option you may want to check is Always analyze device. By default, the scanning program will only show you devices that respond to certain requests, so the final list may not show all the devices that are actually on your network because some devices simply do not respond.
The scan does take quite a bit longer (several minutes compared to several seconds), but it's worth it if you really want to see every device on your network. The Additional and Workstation tabs are really only useful for corporate environments where you have many machines on the same network and you want to get information about each computer. The Ports tab is where we can to go next.
Check the Check for open TCP ports box and then click on the little paper icon at the far right of the text box. This will open another window that lists out some TCP port groups. You want to click on HTTP and Proxy and then press the SHIFT key and click on Database servers to select all three items.
Back on the main screen, you should see all the port numbers listed in the text box. Go ahead and also check all the boxes for open UDP ports. At this point, click OK to go back to the main program screen. Now click Start Scanning and you should see results slowly added to the list.
The Host Name column should give you an easy to understand name for the device. On the right, you'll see a column called TCP Ports, which will list out all the open ports for that device. Obviously, the numbers don't make much sense unless you know what they means, so check out this Wikipedia page that describes each port number in detail.
If anything has port 80 (HTTP) listed, that usually means it has some kind of web interface and you can try connecting to it via your browser by simply typing in the IP address. Port 443 is for secure HTTP (HTTPS), which means you can connect to it securely also.
On the Mac, you have a couple of options. LanScan is a free app on the Mac Store that does a very simple scan and displays the IP address, MAC address, Hostname and Vendor. The free version will only list the first four hostnames fully and the rest will only show the first three characters. A little annoying, but probably not a huge deal on most home networks.
You'll also notice that it only found 12 items and that's because it doesn't have any options to scan each IP address regardless of whether it responds or not. A better network scanner for the Mac is Angry IP Scanner shown below. It's open source and works on Windows, Mac and Linux.
By default, the program also scans open ports, which LanScan does not do. The only issue with this program is that you have to have Java installed in order to run the program. Java is a big security risk and is disabled on most Macs by default, so you would have to enable it manually.
I have two apps that I use, both of which are free, and one that can you download on Apple devices or Android devices. Both apps are excellent and pretty much give you the same info, but each has its pluses and minuses.
Fing is a free app that is available on the Google Play store and the iTunes store and has a great looking interface. You don't have to worry about entering any IP address range with these apps because they figure it out on their own. Once you start a scan with Fing, you'll get a nice looking list of devices with some basic info like hostname, MAC address, IP address etc.
If you tap on a device, you'll get another screen where you can give the device a custom name (a feature I really like), enter a location and even add additional notes. If you scroll down, you'll see an option called Services, which lets you see scan the device for open ports.
The only downside I have seen with this app is that it doesn't list out all the devices on the network. It only caught about 12 devices on my network out of the 16 that the Windows program had found.
The second app I like using is Net Analyzer, available from the App Store for free. You run a scan by tapping the Scan button at the top right and you'll get a list of all your devices within a few seconds.
Using this app, I got 15 devices, which was pretty close to the total number of devices on the network. With Net Analyzer, you'll also see some colored letters on devices that have certain services enabled. The green P means it is pingable, the brown B means Bonjour services are available (Apple devices), the red G means it's a gateway device (router, etc), and a blue U means UPNP and DLNA services are available.
You can tap on a device to get more information and perform queries on the device. Tap the Query with Tools option shown below once you tap on a particular device.
On the next screen, you'll see several options including Ping, Route, Ports, Whois and DNS. Tap on Ports, choose Common or All and then tap Start at the top.
As the scan progresses, you'll see the ports that are open and active and also which ports are blocked. The app also has other tools that you can use to scan specific devices on the network to get more information.
Hopefully, these tools will allow you to fully see what devices are on your network and what services and ports are open. If you have any questions, feel free to post a comment. Enjoy!

The Oxford Farming Conference is recognised both nationally and internationally as a leading think tank for global agriculture. The 2019 Conference runs from 2-4 January.
Our scholarship programme, which has been running for well over two decades, gives the next generation an opportunity to be "informed, challenged and inspired" and to make connections that will help them to be more effective in their own careers. Many past scholars have gone on to take leading roles and made valuable contributions to the industry.
As well as the conference, we recommend Scholars attend the TAP Social and Christ Church dinners, as this is where they get a chance to meet with other delegates and discuss the industry and subjects raised at the conference. We also try and keep the Scholars together by having them stay at Christ Church.
For the 2019 conference, we are developing the scholarship programme further thanks to the generosity and support of organisations and charities. We therefore encourage scholars to register by 31st October 2018, where possible, so they can benefit from the full expereince. This includes a Scholar's Day, hosted by McDonald's on 9th November near Manchester.
The Oxford Farming Conference Scholarship Programme aims to inform, challenge and inspire the next generation to serve the charitable objectives of the conference and to secure its long-term reputation and influence.
• Desired age of 22 to 30 but exceptional candidates can be considered outside of this age range.
• Candidates should not ordinarily receive a scholarship more than once.
• The programme should welcome a mix of gender, sector, geographical and academic experience. International scholars are encouraged.
This year we will be giving them additional training to make sure that they deliver more value back to you as their sponsor and to the wider industry.
If you represent an organisation that would like to sponsor a scholar, we have a database of bright and enthusiastic prospective scholars who are waiting for an opportunity if you would like us to select one for you. Or if you have a scholar in mind already, we'd be very happy to include them in the OFC Scholars' Programme, sponsored by McDonald's.
Arrive for the Oxford Farming Conference, Scholars briefing and workshop, live music and street food at TAP Social.
Full Conference ticket – at the Early Bird price of £275.00 plus VAT or £295.00 plus VAT after 31 August 2018. This includes lunches, refreshments and admission to the Chairman's Reception for Patrons, Sponsors, Speakers and Scholars. This also includes attendance at the Scholars Training Workshop and the Scholar's Reception on the Wednesday afternoon.
TAP Social Dinner - Wednesday 2nd January – An informal social enterprise venue with a band and street food style dining. £50.00 plus VAT.
Scholars usually make their own way to the Conference but if you wish to offer a travel allowance, we suggest that you make these arrangements directly with the Scholar.
You may also wish to provide help with travel expenses to the Scholar's Day hosted by McDonald's in November 2018.

Union Minister Rajyavardhan Rathore asked why the Congress, which has been a champion of freedom, is now questioning it.
Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore defended his party for praising the movie trailer.
Day after the trailer of 'The Accidental Prime Minister' was released on Thursday; Union Minister for Information and Broadcasting Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore defended his party for "extending wishes" to the film. He asked why Congress, which has been a champion of freedom, is now questioning it.
"Can't we extend our wishes to a film?" Mr Rathore asked.
Meanwhile, Manmohan Singh, on whom the film is based, refused to comment when asked by for a reaction to the trailer.
Controversy over the movie erupted after BJP promoted the trailer of the movie from its official Twitter handle. "Riveting tale of how a family held the country to ransom for 10 long years. Was Dr (Manmohan) Singh just a regent who was holding on to the Prime Minister's chair till the time heir (Rahul Gandhi) was ready? Watch the official trailer of The Accidental Prime Minister, based on an insider's account, releasing on 11 January," the tweet read.
Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah also criticised a Congress youth leader in Maharashtra for opposing the release of the film without a preview.
"Dr Singh's record and legacy won't be the product of one single movie or book," he said.
Taking a swipe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Omar Abdullah said, "Can't wait for (the film) 'The Insensitive Prime Minister'. So much worse than being the accidental one."
The film, slated to be released on January 11, stars Anupam Kher as Manmohan Singh, the economist and politician who served as the Prime Minister from 2004 to 2014.


If you are learning Git, Vim, the infamous command-line, or a new syntax – the early stages of learning can seem frustrating. Typically, the challenge is not having an understanding of the core concepts of what you're learning. The frustration comes from constantly referencing documentation until the syntax becomes natural.
One way to ease that frustration is by establishing a little muscle memory through repetition.
Repetitive drills aren't a replacement for learning to code, but it does help to build the association of an action with the keystrokes. You will find your frustration decrease and learning will become easier with muscle memory established.
If you've been coding very long you may be able to type with lightening speed but unable to quote the keys on a keyboard in order without some thought. This is because you've established muscle memory.
Shortcut Foo provides drills for learning git, vim, sublime, command line, and much more. These drills are effective in helping to master the association between keystrokes and a command. There is a free plan with limited features or you can upgrade to customize your learning with different one-time payment tiers.

This was no routine call to a Minnesota sheriff's dispatcher.
From out of the murky lowlands near the Sauk River the call for help came from a Rockville homeowner. Or at least the mower of the lawn at a Rockville home.
And what the intrepid mower had spotted was no snake in the grass. It was an alligator, the caller asserted. A couple of feet long.
The deputy who soon arrived made a cautious approach – expecting the reptile to retreat to a watery lair. But no.
Even a prod with a baton elicited no response.
Except, perhaps for the light bulbs that illuminated over certain heads. This was no gator. It was a toy.
Was some neighbor kid giggling behind a tree? Was the lawn mower (the person, not the machine) a conspirator in a hoax?
The St. Cloud Times, and radio stations WJON and KVSC picked up on the story.
Real life alligators do live on the Mississippi River, but experts say they're unlikely to venture north of about Memphis, Tennessee.
What happened to this not-real gator? The sheriff's department says "It was safely removed." Just the facts.

Local council wins courtroom battle to impose licensing scheme
Landlords have lost their legal battle to have a selective licensing scheme declared unlawful.
Now, following the High Court ruling, Thanet District Council in Kent will go ahead and introduce selective licensing in two of its wards, Margate Central and Cliftonville West.
The proposal to introduce a selective licensing scheme was agreed by the council at an extraordinary cabinet meeting on January 12, 2011, after an extensive consultation exercise by the authority which generated more than 700 responses.
But last year the Southern Landlords Association requested a judicial review on the grounds that the council had failed the legal tests by basing its decision on factual inaccuracies, irrelevant considerations and unsubstantiated assertions.
The High Court hearing took place over October 30 and 31, and Mr Justice Cranston has now handed down his judgment.
In it, he said that the Southern Landlords Association had "failed to establish any error of law in the council's assessment and designation of its Margate Central and Cliftonville West wards as a selective licensing area".
Thanet Council said the decision represents a significant victory. It said it is the first local authority in Kent to use selective licensing in order, it says, to regenerate the area.
The cabinet member for housing and planning, Cllr David Green, said: "The High Court decision is wonderful news for the people of Thanet, and I'm delighted with the ruling.
"The council is dedicated to the regeneration of Margate Central and Cliftonville West, and the selective licensing scheme represents a powerful legislative tool to help us do this. Throughout the process of High Court judgment, we've always been on the side of local people, and I'm very pleased that our stance has been vindicated."
The Southern Landlords Association said it was 'most concerned' by the judgment, and said that the anti-social behaviour cited as a reason for introducing the scheme was not caused by landlords failing to control tenants within their properties.
Spokesman Peter Littlewood said: "The decision to take Thanet District Council to court had not been brought lightly. The SLA still considers that the council has not acted in the interests of the majority of law-abiding landlords or the residents of the Margate and Cliftonville area.
"In challenging the decision to introduce selective licensing, the SLA acted in the best interests of its members in the area who are affected by it."

Carrie Underwood is showing fans that she is proud of her famous scar.
On Friday, the singer posted a throwback selfie on her Instagram page featuring an up close and personal view of her famous scar from a terrifying fall last November.
In the photo, the 35-year-old shows off her colorful face makeup from her "Love Wins" music video shoot. The singer captioned the image, "#FBF to filming the Love Wins music video," with a YouTube link to the official video.
For months after the star's famous fall, which resulted in the singer needing 40-50 stitches in her face and surgery on her broken wrist, Underwood was reluctant to show her face in public and even avoided head-on photos on her social media.
Finally in April, the star showed the first image of her face after the accident – a black-and-white profile image of the singer in the studio. She finally stepped back into the spotlight at the ACM Awards where she performed for the first time since her fall.
Underwood opened about life post-injury in a August interview with Redbook Magazine and addressed the rumors that she had plastic surgery and used her nasty fall as a cover up for the change in her face.
"I'm on some magazine every other week for something crazy," she told the publication. "It's a little sad because the truth is just as interesting. I wish I'd gotten some awesome plastic surgery to make this [scar] look better. But I try not to worry too much about it.
Underwood has come a long way since last November. In September, the singer released her new album "Cry Pretty," and a month prior, the mother of 3-year-old son Isaiah revealed to fans that she and her husband, Eric Fisher, were expected their second child.
Since the announcement of her second pregnancy, Underwood has shown off her budding baby bump on several occasions, everywhere from the Grand Old Opry to Disneyland.

WorldwideSurvivalKits.com Celebrates Its First Year Anniversary with New Blog
For every five websites on the internet that serves very little purpose, there are sites like WorldwideSurvivalKits.com, which exist to help the needs of others. Specializing in emergency kits for a year, the website is currently adding new items and a new blog.
We hope that helping people prepare for disaster will allow them to avoid tragedy.
Weaverville, NC (PRWEB) December 1, 2008
"No life's worth losing because we didn't take the time to prepare well," said Freda Walden, matter-of-factly.
Walden and her business partner, Teresa Calloway, are the proprietors of http://www.WorldwideSurvivalKits.com, a website that specializes in a variety of emergency and disaster kits. "These kits are relatively inexpensive and it's about getting the word out to people before disasters occur," continued Walden.
For a year, WorldwideSurvivalKits.com has been building a base and, in the process, making first aid kits, automobile emergency kits, bottled water, pet first aid kits, tools and assorted other supplies available for people to purchase at reasonable prices. Now at their first year anniversary, the site is making several changes that will continue to help people prepare themselves.
"We're going to get more safety items such as home safety, fire extinguisher and fire blankets," said Walden.
"We're also going to add an F.A.Q. (Frequently Asked Questions) about emergencies on our site," added Calloway.
Alongside the new F.A.Q., the duo have also established and launched a new blog that will feature additional tips for how people can better prepare for the unforeseen catastrophes.
For the blog, http://www.EmergencySurvivalKitsBlog.com, Calloway and Walden will also focus on current information (for October, they blogged about fire safety for Fire Safety Month). "We need to make people aware," explained Walden. "Winter is approaching and people don't think about disaster in the winter time and what is needed."
"We'll also have FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) information on the blog," said Calloway.
With an expansion and new information to share with others, WorldwideSurvivalKits.com is on the fast track to be one of the best websites on the internet. Their compassion for their fellow man is something that other website should take up and notice.
"This is just one way for us to help people," said Calloway. "We hope that helping people prepare for disaster will allow them to avoid tragedy."
WorldwideSurvivalKits.com is owned and operated by Freda Walden and Teresa Calloway. The website is also a part of the North Carolina-based Smokey Mountain Marketing Services.

Abroad 12 people detained as they allegedly flee from Turkey to Greek island
12 people detained as they allegedly flee from Turkey to Greek island
Twelve people were detained while they were allegedly on their way to escape from Turkish government's massive post-coup witch hunt targeting the followers of the faith-based Gülen movement to Greek island Rodos.
It was reported that coastguards stopped a boat on Saturday off the shores of Fethiye district of Muğla province and rounded up the suspected individuals over their alleged links to the Gülen movement.
Detainees included former teachers and police officers who were earlier dismissed over their alleged ties to the movement, and two children. According to Turkish media, arrest warrants were earlier issued for nine of those detained.
Many people have tried to escape from Turkey via illegal ways as the government cancelled their passports. Turkish police have seized 4,806 passports and detained 132 people only at İstanbul Atatürk Airport as part of witch hunt tageting alleged followers of the Gülen movement. Turkish government has confiscated over 50,000 passports including those held by the relatives of journalists living in exile.
Thousands of people have been trying to escape from Turkey because the widespread torture, ill-treatment, abusive, inhuman and degrading treatment of detained or arrested people who are deprived of their liberties in Turkey's detention centers and prisons have become a norm rather than an exception under increased nationalistic euphoria and religious zealotry in the country, a report by Stockholm Center for Freedom (SCF) has revealed on June.
According to a report by state-run Anadolu news agency on July 14, 2017, 36 people were detained by gendarmerie forces as they were trying to flee to Europe since a controversial coup attempt on July 15, 2016. Turkish soldiers stationed on the Turkish side of the Greek and Bulgarian borders have detained 36 people from allegedly fleeing to Europe. Among the detainees, who were under travel bans, were ex-soldiers, academics, teachers, police officers, housewives and doctors.
A controversial military coup attempt on July 15 killed over 240 people. Immediately after the putsch, the Justice and Development Party (AKP) government along with Erdoğan pinned the blame on the Gülen movement.
Fethullah Gülen, who inspired the movement, strongly denied having any role in the failed coup and called for an international investigation into it, but President Erdoğan — calling the coup attempt "a gift from God" — and the government initiated a widespread purge aimed at cleansing sympathizers of the movement from within state institutions, dehumanizing its popular figures and putting participants of the Gülen movement in jails.
According to a statement from Turkey's Justice Ministry on July 13, a total of 50,510 people have been arrested while 169,013 others have been the subject of legal proceedings since the failed coup attempt in Turkey on July 15, 2016 on coup charges. (SCF with turkeypurge.com) July 14, 2017

THE economy appears to have revived already.
No sooner do we have the reasonable prices of the current (and excellent) exhibition at Is Not A Gallery, then all of a sudden prices shoot up in certain other galleries in town.
It may be to do with size and reputation, of course.
Quality reigns, however. There is excellent work at all of them.
Is Not A Gallery has excellent art but so has Apocalypse, Argo and Opus 39, too.
There are visual stars all around.
Perhaps it is all to do with the size of your room.
However, there appears to be lots of cash around once again.
It seems like bargains everywhere.
Glafcos has recently had a wonderful exhibition at Nicosia Municipal Arts Centre and, although his themes are re-visited it could be that the Apocalypse exhibition relates and belongs and being a commercial gallery one can buy, of course.
Mostly, paintings – although there are also some wonderful pieces.
A most moving exhibition with emotion strewn around - for example, a workshop in chaos where even a lino roller has built-in passion.
"My image of Koumides is that of the bicycle rider. Koumides lives in Nicosia and works in the old part within the walls.
"I have come across Koumides on his bicycle many times and I always felt an unconscious need to greet him. The black or (as I want to believe) dark blue coat, the cap and the smile lend a symbolic meaning to the notion of greeting.
"The cyclist, the rider, the source. The clearing and the moon.
This is painting, in full rich colour, that is near to my eyes. An immense warmth surrounds.
Stefano Paci was born in Fano, Italy, he studied in Urbino in the Istitute Statale d'Arte of the town.
He lives in Limassol and works between Italy and Cyprus.
Between 1982 and 1985, he worked with the Pesaro group Emarginante, with a production of music, poetry and theatre, installation, performance, videos and magazines.
This is a superb exhibition with powerful paintings in glorious colour.
Christos Christou and Achilleas Christou are at Opus 39.
Christos was born in Paphos in 1950 and studied engraving, painting and sculpture at the Ecole des Beaux Arts, Paris.
Achilleas Christou was born in Paris in 1979 and attended the Academie Charpentier fine art school, Paris, from 2002 -2003 with further studies at Metallica, La Giraudie.
Christos' paintings at this show are mainly portraits painted with a great feeling for depth of character and purity of pigment. Achilleas' work here at Opus is mainly abstract, with sharp forms working together in harmony.
Rich colours belonging to each other.


What I'm saying is that we could, yes, have those spices and stuff for trade and act as sort of "change" (if you cut it up into smaller quantities), but mostly bartering should be something that the PC goes for out of need. Perhaps not as crazy (but still intriguing in my eyes) as how it was done in that Russian game Pathologic, which you mentioned.
How we'd do that ? All items in the game should have, in addition to weight/bulk/maintenance points/whatever, a pre-set value or better - for it not turning out static and stupid - a range of numeric values. That exact value of an item in a bartering situation would depend on the location/person - a butcher would value meat less and salt and flint more etc. A settlement closer to open water would value fish less and meat more.
That numeric value could be out in the open for the player to see or he could be made aware of the value his/her PCs equipment otherwise. e.g. Butcher says at the beginning of the barter session something like - "I'd be willing to give you a sack of pigs' feet for that piece of flint you have right there". You make your calculations from there on + how dear that piece of flint is to you. If you have one spare or know where to get a ne one when the need arises then you're good.
Or you make an offer and the Butcher would have some templates readily scripted for him: "For my X I would want n of your Z", "An old X for n of my Z?! Outrageous! Never!"
Now, the other side of the coin would be a player who's interested in becoming a sort of trader (read: hoarder ). But if such is the case then the player should show some ingenuity in picking the places where he or she goes for his/her own goods and where they sell it. Transport is difficult already - this is decided. Nobody's going to be running around with three shotguns, a suit of high-tech armor and a closet-full of heavy leather jackets. But if you do stumble onto a yet untouched stash of some rare commodity then you should be able to make a profit off it. BUT then the profit would be you having a) better maintained equipment to be wearing and carrying around and/or b) owning a house in a nicer district of the settlement with a nicer view onto the frozen sea.
but if the actor is a nice guy, helped the community etc... the prices could be lower in general.
I also think small-quests to obtain items should be used here and there. But not too much, so that the game does not focus on that overly much.

Foreman of R. Kelly's 2008 jury 'happy that justice was served'
Jamon Mytty said he still believes he and his fellow jurors made the right decision in 2008 "based on the evidence and the job we were given to do" in a trial famously missing the testimony of a victim.

Share All sharing options for: Foreman of R. Kelly's 2008 jury 'happy that justice was served'
This June 13, 2008 file photo shows R&B singer R. Kelly arriving at the Cook County Criminal Court Building in Chicago.
The foreman of the Cook County jury that acquitted R. Kelly back in 2008 said he was "happy that justice was served" for Kelly's victims after news broke of Kelly's conviction Monday in New York.
"I'm happy that there won't be future victims, and so I think justice was served and I'm glad that there was that kind of evidence where they could easily reach a guilty verdict," Jamon Mytty told the Chicago Sun-Times.
Still, Mytty said he believed he and his fellow jurors made the right decision in 2008 "based on the evidence and the job we were given to do" in a trial famously missing the testimony of a victim.
"If the victim or her parents had testified in that trial, my guess is the jury would have reached a much different outcome," Mytty said.
R. Kelly faces more charges in Chicago, elsewhere, so what happens next?
Kelly went to trial in Cook County on child pornography charges in 2008. The trial revolved around a 26-minute, 39-second videotape sent anonymously to the Sun-Times early in 2002. It allegedly showed Kelly performing sex acts with an underage girl.
However, the girl who purportedly appeared in the tape refused to testify. And members of the jury pointed to that refusal as key to their decision to acquit Kelly.
"There wasn't that level of proof or evidence that you could render a guilty verdict," Mytty said.
Meanwhile, the trial that just ended in Brooklyn featured graphic testimony from multiple victims.

Mytty said he wished that kind of testimony would have been available in the trial in 2008. He said he watched the Lifetime documentary series "Surviving R. Kelly" and casually followed the New York trial.
He also used words like "frustrating," "disappointing" and "regretful" to describe his feelings about a situation that could have been resolved many years ago.
"My heart goes out to the victims prior to our trial and since that trial," Mytty said.

Emery Park is a  park in Erie County, in the U.S. state of New York. The park is located in the hamlet of South Wales, southeast of the city of Buffalo. It is operated by the Erie County Department of Parks, Recreation and Forestry. Access is free and it is open to the public year-round.

History
Emery Park was among the four original parks acquired by Erie County in the 1920s. Several of the park's structures were part of a farmstead established by Josiah Emery in the early 1800s. In 1925,  of land was purchased by Erie County from the Emery family to form Emery Park. The park's facilities and landscapes were improved substantially by the Works Progress Administration throughout the 1930s, and the park grew to  through land acquisitions in the years that followed.

Despite improvements and repairs in recent years, Emery Park was described by Erie County officials as being in the worst shape of all of the county's parks as of 2013, when plans for additional repairs were announced. The planned demolition of the Emery Inn was reported in late 2013 due to safety concerns caused by the building's advanced state of deterioration. The structure was part of the original Emery farmstead, and had previously served as a museum and restaurant within the park before sitting vacant for many years.

Attractions and facilities
 Two tributaries to Cazenovia Creek make their way through the park, forming scenic ravines and waterfalls. The  Emery Falls and the  North Emery Falls are accessible via trails on the park's property.
 Emery Park includes facilities and trails for several winter sports, including a Magic Carpet ski lift, installed in 2018-2019 (previously a T-bar lift) for skiing and snowboarding, and a  cross-country skiing trail.
 The park also features facilities for baseball, softball, tennis, bicycling, hiking, picnicking, and disc golf.
