Russia Anti-Satellite Programs
Protivosputnikovye Sistemy
In 1963-1964 the Soviet Troops of Defense (PVO) established two new commands: PRO and PKO. PRO, meaning antimissile defense, was charged with detecting, intercepting, and destroying enemy ballistic rockets, while the PKO, meaning anti-space defense, was responsible for "destroying the enemy's cosmic means of fighting" (Reference 106). In 1992 the USSR Space Units which include PRO and PKO were essentially transferred to the CIS United Armed Forces. However, on 7 May 1992 the armed forces of the Russian Federation were established with specific air and space defense missions.
To implement a space control regime and to fulfill its space defense obligation, the PKO began developing ASAT capabilities. Today, the Russian Federation is commonly believed to have acquired four basic ASAT systems with varying degrees of effectiveness. However, the operational status of these systems was a topic of considerable debate. Along with the efforts in the sphere of ABM defense, in the early 1960s the USSR launched a project to create a space defense system «IS» (satellite destroyer) which in August 1970 for the first time ever hit a spacecraft target leaving the USA behind for 15 years. On July 1, 1979, the system went on combat duty. In August 1993 the «IS» system went off duty.
In March 1961, in response to the US military preparations in space in the USSR, a decision was made to create an anti-space defense system (PKO). In 1962 TsNII "Kometa" together with TsKBM VN Chelomey and in cooperation with a number of NPOs began the development of this system (general designer AA Raspletin, chief designer of control systems - AI Savin).
By the end of the sixties a unique automated PKO complex was created. It consisted of a ground-based command-and-control and measuring point in the Moscow region, a special launch pad at the Baikonur test site, a carrier rocket and an interceptor spacecraft with a radar and thermal homing head and a fragmentation warhead, as well as target satellites for the PKO IC complex .
In August 1970, according to the target designations of the TsKKP, the PKO IS-M complex with a thermal GOS was first struck in the world by a protected space vehicle-mi-shen. In the future, its improvement was carried out.
Commanders of the anti-missile and anti-space defense forces: in the center, Colonel-General Yu.V. Votintsev (commander in 1967-1986), on the right - Colonel-General V.M. Kraskovsky (in 1986-1991), on the left - Colonel-General V. Smirnov (in 1991-1997).In the period 1973 - 1978 gg. Work was carried out to improve the combat characteristics of the PKO IP complex. After modernization on November 14, 1978 it was adopted, and from July 1, 1979, put on alert duty.
THE FIRST MANEUVERABLE SATELLITES
By Dr. Charles S. Sheldon II [1917-1981], was Chief of the Science Policy Research Division of the Library of Congress, Congressional Research Service
On November 1, 1963 , Polet 1 was placed in Earth orbit. Khrushchev himself pointed to the designation of it as being the first, of a series, saying that a whole new era was opening for craft able to maneuver after attaining orbit. The flight entered an initial orbit with an apogee of 592 kilometers and a perigee of 339 kilometers. It was announced to have made many maneuvers of a lateral nature and of altitude, so that the final orbit was 1.437 by 343 kilometers, and the inclination was 58° 55'. Little more was said of the specifics of the flights, although there were many comments on the importance of being able to maneuver.
On April 12, 1964 , Polet 2 was also placed in Earth orbit. Again, the Russians stressed its ability to maneuver repeatedly, but they did not publish the details on these maneuvers. The final orbit was 'described as 500 by 310 kilometers, at an inclination of 58.06 degrees.
As discussed earlier in this report, we can describe the launch vehicle used as an A-m combination. Strangely, the program was never again identified, and one may speculate that it served its purpose, that. The technology was incorporated into some other classes of vehicles as a subsystem.
Precursor Technology Demonstration
[We now know that the "m" stage was in fact the Polet payload as a proof of principal ASAT stage flight test demonstration flown on the basic "A" booster that would later appear in the coming years as a revised larger F-1-m Tsyklon-2 payload third last stage of the Soviet ASAT program. The ASAT last stage was a separate enlarged payload different from the RORSAT payload and was really a derivation of the Tsyklon-2 with third stage being the payload last stage. Both ASAT and RORSAT required a longer Tsyklon second stage than that utilized by the standard SS-9/R-36 ICBM from which the Tsyklon/R-36K was derived.]
MILITARY INTERCEPTOR/INSPECTOR/DESTRUCTOR SATELLITES
The record shows that particularly in the early years there was a Soviet hostility to all military flights operated by or attributed to the United States , whether these were for purposes of communication, weather reporting, navigation, early warning, or observation. At times, the Soviet authorities accused the United States also of plotting to put weapons in orbit, an activity subsequently banned by treaty.
One can imagine that Soviet military planners would see as a necessary ingredient in any stable of military space systems an ability to identify what the United States was really up to in space, and to have the option of destroying that payload if need be. Such actions could be motivated either by defensive considerations such as to neutralize bombs, or as aggressive by blinding the eyes which might be used by the United States to give it warning of changes in Soviet order of battle, or navigation for U.S. submarines, or post damage assessment if the two nations had come to a partial use of their weapons in a nuclear exchange.
The United States at one time put funding support into a protect called Saint which was to have the capability of inspecting satellites whose missions were unknown. The project was later terminated before any flights were made. The kinds of questions raised included political: How would another nation react to having a U.S. payload go into a co-orbit with one of theirs? Would we really be able to judge the full function of the unknown satellite by a study of its configuration, its antenna lengths, its behavior? Could we determine whether it had a weapon on board either from its inertial mass if nudged or its reaction to a neutron pulse sent its way? If we were to consider direct interference with the unknown payload by painting its lenses, or breaking its antennas, or attaching extra propulsion to send it elsewhere, what would be the reactions of its owners? What if it were booby trapped in some fashion? The questions are multiple, and one then weighs the possible advantages of an inspector system which co-orbits against other options such as better sensors on Earth, or vertical probe inspectors which might or might not be able to make a surreptitious inspection in a remote part of the world without having to co-orbit with the satellite.
In any case, the United States withdrew from construction of hardware, while in the Soviet program, actual flight tests of an inspection system had been conducted.
Yuri Vladimirovich Andropov curtailed the anti-satellite program in 1983. The program was curtailed, but the FFP complex under Yuri Andropov did not die. Somewhere in early August 1983, Marshal Dmitry Ustinov phoned Anatoly Savin (relations between them were the kindest) and said: soon the head of state Yuri Andropov will publicly announce that we will unilaterally end the test of the anti-satellite complex in space. Anatoly Savin expressed doubt that this would force the Americans to abandon SDI (by then, US President Ronald Reagan firmly believed in it), and we will lose pace in improving the defense system.
The Soviet Naryad-V anti-satellite complex began in the first half of the 1980s using the experience of creating an anti-satellite IP system and as one of the responses to the American SDI program. The head developer is NPO Salyut, the chief designer is D.A. Polukhin, Lead Designer - E.G. Sizov. The complex provided the launch into orbit with the Rokot launch vehicle (based on the UR-100NU / 15A35 ICBM) of the satellite (s)-interceptor (s) (attack aircraft) 14F10 (sometimes in the media - 14F11) with an acceleration rocket and maneuvering, which later became publicly known as the "Breeze-K".The development of the launch vehicle and the booster-shunting unit was carried out by NPO Mashinostroeniya. The development of the satellite interceptor was carried out by the Design Bureau of Engineering (Kolomna). The prototype satellite-interceptor system "Outfit" was demonstrated by M.S. Gorbachev during his visit to the Baikonur Cosmodrome in May 1987. The program was allegedly discontinued in the early 1990s.
In 2010, the Space Troops Commander Oleg Ostapenko, who later headed the Russian space agency, said that Russia again took up the development of "inspection" satellites.
On 25 December 2013 a Rockot booster lifted off from the Plesetsk launch site carrying a trio of Rodnik communications satellites, to replenish the constellation which had been operational since 2005. The previous six launches had carried a three Rodnik satellites, but this launch carried four - Kosmos-2488, -2489, -2490 and -2491. For several weeks 2014 the object cataloged as 2014-28E [and 39765 by NORAD] manuevered towards other Russian space objects, culminating in November 2014 when it rendezvoused with the upper stage that had placed it in orbit.
The United States has conducted a number of such missions: XSS-10 (2003), DART (2005), XSS-11 (2005-2006), MiTEx (2006-2009), GSSAP (2014), ANGELS (2014), while China conducted the similar SJ-12 mission in 2010. In 2014, the US Air Force launched two satellites of the Geosynchronous Space Situational Awareness Program (GSSAP) system to "geosynchronous orbits" to track technogenic orbital objects and determine their characteristics. In February 2014, U.S. Air Force officials publicly revealed this previously classified program and admitted that the GSSAP satellites will perform approach maneuvers to approach each other for better viewing of spacecraft in geosynchronous orbits up to 36,000 kilometers above the Earth's surface.
This satellite known as Cosmos 2499, but often informally called Object E, was launched in 2014 - together with three communications satellites on the Rokot launch vehicle. The maneuvering of the Object E satellite was covered in a secret space threat briefing for Congressional Defense Committees.
Cosmos-2504, which was launched along with three communication satellites [Gonets-M series], the Rokot launch vehicle from the Russian Plesetsk cosmodrome [March 31, 2015]. According to a spokesman for the US Air Force, the Russian military satellite Cosmos-2504, launched in March 2015, made at least 11 maneuvers in space rendezvous with the upper stage, which put it into orbit.
Russia launched a "small space apparatus" from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome in June 2017 to be used for "examining the condition of a Russian satellite," the Russian Ministry of Defense announced in August 2017. "In the longer term, a research experiment will be carried out to use the space apparatus for examining the outward appearance of that satellite," the ministry said, noting that it will be "a space platform capable of carrying different payloads."
The ministry clarified in October 2017 that the satellite had been coupled to a larger satellite, Kosmos-2519; it then conducted tests of "controlling the maneuvering defense satellite, ground, and orbital communication systems," and "methods involving ballistic estimates and new software were employed," before the smaller satellite returned to Kosmos-2519. The space forces proved their ability to ensure the satellite's automatic undocking from the platform, the remote control of its flight, and the activation of the satellite payload, including surveillance hardware, data transfer to Earth and data processing," the statement, published in Izvestiya, said.
Russia and China had been trying to convince the US and other UN member states to agree to a binding treaty that would head off the imminent space arms race. In 2014, the US rejected the draft Treaty on Prevention of the Placement of Weapons in Outer Space and of the Threat or Use of Force Against Outer Space Objects (PPWT).


Video explaining how to sign a contract on behalf of a business. See below for an enhanced video transcript.
Hello, and welcome to another edition of Genesis Law Firm Teaches. Today's topic, How to Sign on Behalf of a Business. Why is this topic important? When you sign a contract on behalf of a business, you expect to obligate the business and not yourself as an individual. For instance, if you're a CEO and you sign a $2 million contract, should something go wrong, you don't want the other party to sue you as an individual and take your house.
Moreover, I've noticed that many business owners receive contracts that have improper signature blocks at the bottom. Those signature blocks, if not edited, would obligate the individuals who are signing the contract rather than just obligating the business. So if you want to ensure that you're not accidentally obligating yourself as an individual, make sure that you understand the requirements for a proper signature.
lastly, your title, again indicating that you're signing in a representative capacity.
This would be the bottom of a contract, because the very bottom is usually where the signature block goes. It doesn't have to be in a box like this. I'm just putting it in a box so that you can identify what part of the whiteboard I'm referring to.
Have the name of the business written at the top. In this case, it says Genesis Law Firm PLLC. It doesn't have to be in all caps like here. But oftentimes, that is how it's written out.
In the middle would be the signature line. My signature would go here in this example. Below the signature line is a place for the person to legibly indicate what his name is. So in this situation, I would legibly write out my name below the signature line.
And then below that, I would indicate what my signing capacity is. The example says, "Managing Member." Instead of Managing Member, you would put whatever your representative capacity is within your business. It could be CEO. It could be CFO. It could be any other position within your business.
Something to note if you're in your pre-incorporation phase. That is, if you're forming a business entity of some kind, like a corporation or an LLC, but you've not yet completed the formation process. No matter how you sign a contract, you're probably going to be obligating yourself as an individual rather than obligating just the business.
has agreed to pursue the business and not you as an individual.
If you're hoping to fall into that exception, then it's a good idea to both sign the contract the way that I have delineated here but to also have written into the contract that you're still in the pre-incorporation phase and that the person who you're contracting with has agreed to pursue only the business and not you as an individual.
One more thing to note, if you are a sole proprietorship or a partnership, that means that you do not have a business entity in place between you and the person who the business is contracting with. And so if you are the owner of the business and you sign on behalf of the business, you're still obligating yourself as an individual even if you use this proper signature block.
If you are running a business and you're hoping to avoid obligating yourself rather than just obligating your business, it's important that you incorporate, that you form a corporation, LLC, LLP, or one of these other limited liability entities.

The Electric Lidsorter is used with a lidfitting machine for automatic lidfitting. The lidsorter is connected to the lidfitter and applies the lids on the jars. If the lids are not oriented correctly, the machine will sort them out and thereby only handle and use the lids with the correct orientation.
The machine is mounted with a sensor that puts the machine on standby when the buffer for lids is full.


As befitting an artist who excels with such a diversity of musical styles, Charles has performed with a range of musicians, from Roberta Flack, Rene Marie and David Rudder to Wynton Marsalis, Johnny Mandel, the Count Basie Orchestra and Maria Schneider. He also worked with steel pan all-star Len "Boogsie" Sharpe as well as jazz masters Frank Foster and Benny Golson.
Charles was taught by one of his mentors, primo jazz pianist and Florida State professor Marcus Roberts, that "going backwards is the only way to go forward." So, while the 10-song Creole Soul is steeped in the jazz tradition, the spirit of the Caribbean also drives it. The young trumpeter, in addition to composing six originals, delivers his unique spin on Creole-oriented tunes from past masters, ranging from Bob Marley to Thelonious Monk. The album—at turns, rootsy, spicy and grooving—features at its core Charles' crisp trumpet intonation and his lucid melodic lines. Joining the leader for the Creole music adventure is Charles' band, comprised of tenor saxophonist Jacques Schwarz-Bart, alto saxophonist Brian Hogans, Kris Bowers on piano and Fender Rhodes, bassist Ben Williams and drummer Obed Calvaire. Guests include vocalist Erol Josué, guitarist Alex Wintz and percussionist/vocalists Daniel Sadownick and D'Achee.

The Legislative Supremacy of Government | Centre on Constitutional Change l Researching the issues. Informing the debate.
At the same time as Parliament prepares to 'take back control' from Brussels, the executive is in fact accruing to itself further control over the legislative process. In this post I address a number of trends – only some of which are a direct consequence of the unique circumstances of Brexit – which suggest a deeper realignment of institutional power within the constitution and a consequent diminution of Parliament's legislative power.
The executive in the United Kingdom of course governs through Parliament and, as a result, has always played a leading role in, and held significant control over, the making of law. Nonetheless, the executive branch's legislative role appears to be growing in two main ways. One concerns the power over when and how to introduce bills which, in the current extended parliamentary session, is being exercised so as not to introduce a number of anticipated measures, to introduce relatively trivial bills at a time when more important matters should arguably be considered by Parliament, and to hollow-out potentially important bills, narrowing their scope to minor matters. The second issue relates to the content of legislation. This is increasingly skewed to enhance executive law-making powers through the use of framework legislation, the granting of wide delegated powers including Henry VIII powers, and application of the innovative and constitutionally problematic 'made affirmative' procedure.
One of the remarkable features of the current parliamentary session is that, the European Union (Withdrawal) Bill (EUWB) aside, Parliament has had relatively little legislative work to do. This is of course partly a consequence of the time spent upon the EUWB (estimated at 272 hours), but it is still notable that significant legislation relating to Brexit has either stalled (e.g. the Trade Bill) or has simply not been introduced to Parliament. Major Brexit-related initiatives relating for example to agriculture, fisheries and migration have been parked while the Government prepares for further negotiations with the EU.
It is of course the constitutional prerogative of government to decide what legislation to introduce to Parliament. And indeed, there may be good reasons not to legislate at this point on a number of these matters given the unpredictability of the terms of Brexit. But we cannot ignore the fact that these and other measures proposed in the Queen's Speech in June 2017 still wait in the pre-legislative pipeline. Constitutional problems could well flow in due course if a series of detailed and controversial measures require to be rushed through Parliament. In this context Government may well attempt to pass framework or skeletal bills, stacked with delegated powers, presenting Parliament with a series of faits accomplis. Against this relief, the passage of the EUWB, for all its faults, appears ever more to be a paragon of parliamentary deliberation.
It is also notable that most of those bills which have been introduced during the current session are of fairly minor significance. It is difficult to generate much excitement for the Automated and Electric Vehicles Bill, the Rating (Property in Common Occupation) and Council Tax (Empty Dwellings) Bill or the Domestic Gas and Electricity (Tariff Cap) Bill. Indeed these can barely be classified as bills at all, since each is very short and pursues a very narrow purpose. It may be cynical to suggest that these bills have been allotted parliamentary time precisely because they are brief and uncontroversial. Certainly the demands which the EUWB has imposed upon legislative time should not be underestimated, but the dearth of important legislation also seems to be a political calculation. So distracted is the Government by internal party disagreements relating to Brexit that there is simply no appetite for introducing other major bills which may create more political headaches.
It is also the case that the Government is 'under-legislating' not only in relation to Brexit. The Courts and Tribunals (Judiciary and Functions of Staff) Bill is a far more limited measure than was expected. This Bill replaces the Prisons and Courts Bill 2016-17 which fell before the last election. The latter measure was a very significant bill that contained extensive innovations geared towards modernisation of the courts system. It aimed to speed up procedures in civil, family and criminal matters, allowing for more proceedings to be conducted in writing, providing for the enhanced use of modern technology and introducing a new online procedure in civil and family matters. The new Courts and Tribunals Bill shelves most of these important measures, instead making provision only in relation to fairly minor name changes and reallocation of certain judicial functions. During questions in the House of Lords, Lord Beith described it as "a little mouse of a Bill", and asked the Advocate General: "How is it that halfway through a two-year parliamentary Session the Government have not found time for urgently needed and relatively uncontroversial provisions to enable the courts to modernise and speed up processes which cause delay and distress to court users, and which cost money that could be better spent improving access to justice?" A similar question might well apply to many measures proposed in the 2017 Queen's Speech.
Broad delegated powers extend beyond framework legislation. The European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (EUW Act) is of course now notorious for its Henry VIII powers; the published Bill included a head-spinning power to amend the EUW Act itself (subsequently removed by amendment). But the EUW Act is only one example; Henry VIII powers are now so common as to be almost a banality of modern legislation. Another recent instance is the seemingly innocuous Smart Meters Act 2018 which in fact contains a broad power to amend primary legislation, exercisable by way of negative resolution procedure.
There are of course a number of objections to this argument which do offer important points of qualification. One is that desperate times require desperate measures. It is certainly the case that we are in a unique period where law will have to change quickly. This inevitably means that government will require legislative discretion to respond to as yet unforeseeable circumstances. Nonetheless, the powers as originally framed in the EUWB as well as those in the Taxation (Cross-border Trade) Bill and the Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Bill (now Act), point to a development in legislative drafting – which goes beyond the Brexit context – that takes open-ended executive discretion as a default positon.
Another counter-argument points to Parliament's robustness. Recent work highlights the ways in which government is constrained both by established parliamentary avenues of scrutiny and in more subtle ways by political constraints within party, Parliament and civil society. Certainly, the passage of the EUW Act itself testifies to the power of Parliament to rein in the more egregious attempts to inflate executive discretion, while testifying to the robustness of the Clerk to the House of Commons and parliamentary committees in identifying key provisions for debate and scrutiny. One feature of the EUWB's passage is that the Government itself engaged well with the process and produced its own amendments following constructive deliberation with Parliament, sometimes behind closed committee room doors. Changes to the Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Bill also bear out the influence Parliament can still have.
There are other considerations which suggest that Parliament has the infrastructure to push back against the accretion of executive power. These include a second chamber which is not government controlled, a still robust committee system in each House, recent improvements in the content of explanatory notes, an excellent library service which keeps members well-informed, and the engagement of outside expertise in the scrutiny of draft legislation. These factors do support rigorous scrutiny, but in practice this remains sporadic and dependent upon the interest to parliamentarians and external stakeholders of the issues at stake in each Bill. We also must not lose sight of political control. In addition to the party whip system, statute permits 109 parliamentarians to hold paid ministerial posts (in fact, the total number of ministers in June 2017 was 118), the price of which is automatic loyalty in the voting lobbies. Thus the bigger picture is that the executive, through its control over members' voting behaviour, the initiation of legislation and parliamentary time, has an institutional hegemony in relation to the legislative process which it now deploys in ever more creative ways. In this session alone it has shown itself prepared to hold up the introduction of promised legislation, to strip potentially important bills of their real salience and to set out legislation in skeletal form while according to itself extraordinary secondary powers.
The House of Lords Constitution Committee is currently engaged in an inquiry into the legislative process. Far from being an arcane distraction from pressing matters relating to Brexit, it is increasingly clear that these two issues are closely intertwined, and that without a vigorous review of Parliament's procedures, and effective and speedy action to correct their inadequacies, Brexit may serve to affirm not the return of control to Parliament but a further shift in power towards the legislative dominance of the executive.

Abstract: We report on channel morpho-texture and bedload transport in a natural, steep, sand-gravel ephemeral channel draining the small Poveda Gully watershed in the mining area of the Alto Tajo Natural Park, Spain. First-ever continuous bedload flux and texture monitoring in a transitional sand-gravel environment was undertaken by two independent Reid-type slot samplers. Morphological changes in the feeder reach have been quantified by TLS (terrestrial laser scanning) and SfM (structure from motion) technologies. We identified a pattern in channel-bed morphology and texture (morpho-texture): when the channel is incised its texture is coarser, otherwise sand-filling occurs. These changes determine bedload flux and texture: sand fill brings rise to high fluxes and fine-grained bedload, whereas incision caused by evacuation of sand leaves a sandy-gravel surface with lower bedload fluxes and coarser texture. A video camera recording during events allowed identification of dramatic changes in bedload flux and texture owing to the appearance and erosion of bars, supplying field evidence to explain the difficulty in the prediction of bedload flux at short time intervals.

Confidence without complacency
Each stock market year has its own characteristics and brings its share of special events. Some of these leave their mark on financial market history for decades. No doubt 2022 will be one of them. Equities and bonds dropped in sync, resulting in the worst performance by diversified portfolios since the 1930s. The breakout of the Russia-Ukraine war, the worst war on European soil since WWII, and the strongest monetary tightening since the 1980s, by virtually all the world's central banks, in the face of a resurgence in inflation reaching several-decade highs – these are historic events that should usher 2022 into the very exclusive club of standout stock market years.
These events have also put investors to the test. After months in the red, with good news hard to find, will 2023 give them a little peace of mind? Clearly, in the short term, the economic outlook is gloomy. While it seems to have been good for containing inflation, which may have plateaued, the severity of monetary tightening is expected to set off a global recession. The ability of the central banks and governments to act will be limited: the first due to the persistence of high inflation, and the second to the rising cost of debt. This calls for caution on the equity markets, where valuations have collapsed, though not to the point where they can be classified as discounted, and earnings outlooks could be revised downward. However, in a long-term approach, falling equity prices and multiples in recent quarters point to a high likelihood of positive performance within the next couple of years.
Caution in the short term, then, with persistent high volatility and potential new setbacks. But certain weaknesses could leave room for some equity risk in the portfolios again. With this in mind, small and mid-sized growth stocks, which took such a hit in 2022, could offer promising opportunities. The other good news is that the big losers of recent years – bonds, especially private corporate bonds – are very attractive once again. With a highly promising carry once again, the upcoming end to the central banks' rate hikes, and risk premiums partially pricing in an economic slowdown scenario, credit should actually take back its diversifying role in the portfolios.
As the age of zero interest rates and monetary stimulus comes to a close, investors will be faced with a seemingly less friendly environment, where the portfolio mix must be revised and diversified. This reinvention – based on the timeless principle of creative destruction – will clear the path to innovations for generating performance over the next few years.

Author: Herve Guilleminot Illustrator: Jerome Masi Format: Hardback Release Date: 25/07/2018
The history of rock is chronicled through forty world-famous artists and groups in this stylishly designed and illustrated book. It begins with Elvis Presley, whirls through the psychedelic 60s and the protest songs of the 70s, then via glam rock and reggae takes us into the punk era, new wave and hip hop, leaving us with Beyoncé and Arcade Fire. It's clearly a personal choice (Blur but not Oasis? And where are the queens of soul and disco?) but covers a huge range of styles and movements, and gives a real sense of the evolution of popular music. Each artist has a double page and they are represented via stylish, graphic illustrations accompanied by useful captions – dotted lines lead from Bob Dylan's head to the words 'Politically engaged', while Elvis's hips are labelled 'provocative'. Fun, stylish and informative.

Third hard-hitting book in the hit Rock War series about a Battle of the Bands showdown, by the bestselling author of CHERUB. Rock Wars is now at the halfway mark and only six bands remain. After "near financial collapse" following the contestants' "outrageous behaviour" and subsequent withdrawal of a sponsor, the show now has a brand new backer and has "risen Phoenix-like to become the most watched reality show on British telly". But there's plenty of music to face offstage as well as on. With one foot still in the school of hard knocks, and the other in hard rock heaven, singer Summer has to get herself back on track after being hit by a motorbike. And cocky Theo's spending more time mixing with (and winding up) moviemakers at film premieres, and Premier League players at nightclubs than at the mixing desk. And then there's the shady matter of an undercover investigation, which just goes to show that ambition and fame comes at a cost. With its heady mix of glamour and grit, and a cast of characters who run the gamut from smart, self-aware cynics to easily led-astrays, this is a seriously addictive read.

Old Halls, Manors and Families of Derbyshire

Volume I, The High Peak Hundred
Holme Hall
THE earliest reminiscences of this splendid old homestead introduce us to the man who played his part in that memorable struggle usually termed the Great Rebellion, and whose brother was the President of the Tribunal which condemned Charles I. to death. This Jacobean residence was built by Bernard Wells in 1626, whose co-heiress married Henry Bradshaw, of Marple, and Robert Eyre, of Highlow. Such is the statement made by both Lysons and Glover; but these celebrated writers have not told us of many facts - interesting to Derbyshire men, which are hid away behind, or contained in the statement - a few of which we will endeavour to enumerate. In the year 1622 King James expelled the Bradshaws from those lands in the High Peak which they had tenanted from the Crown for centuries. His motive for such an unprincipled act was an immediate want of a few hundred pounds, and so the acres went to two of his London friends. The Bradshaws were among the very oldest families of the Peak; there they had lived for five hundred Years, and in accordance with their motto - Qui vit content, tient assez. They managed to retain or re-purchase some portion, together with the old Hall on the slope of Eccles Pike. Very soon after, we find them settling at Abney, Windley, Holbrook, Belper, and other places. [1] Anthony Bradshaw of Belper, temp James I., was a descendant of Henry of Alderwasley, living there 1483, who was a scion of the Peak family. Can we wonder that they retaliated on the Stuarts when a revolution placed power in their hands? Alas! Derbyshire knows them no more; for the Bradshaw, of Barton Blount, is only so by letters patent - Peter Bradshaw, who was thus summarily dispossessed, had two brothers, Francis and Henry. Francis married one of the co-heiresses (Anne) of the Eyam Staffords, and thought, by such distinguished alliance, to have enhanced the glories of his race, but how his family fled to Lancashire, never to return, will be mentioned elsewhere. Henry became the founder of the Marple branch of his house, so memorable in our Annals as having produced the man who passed sentence of death on a King of England. In 1606, Henry Bradshaw purchased the Marple Estate from Sir Edward Stanley, whose mother (if we mistake not) was Margaret Vernon, of Haddon, sister of our Dorothy. Marple was held by the Vernons by free forestry. William Bradshaw, the father of Henry, was tenant at Marple as early as 1541, and espoused Margaret Clayton, of Stryndes Hall. This William, though a second son, succeeded his sires at Eccles Pike. The Marple residence of Henry Bradshaw (and his wife Dorothy, daughter and co-heiress of George Bagshaw of the Ridge) was Wybersley Hall. He was succeeded by his son Henry, who married Catherine, daughter and co-heiress of Ralph Winnington, of Offerton. At this time, a neighbour of Henry and Catherine was Bernard Wells, of Marple Hall, who was really owner of both edifices. This gentleman was a scion of a Gloucestershire family, settled at Ashton-under-Hill. He had purchased certain lands in Derbyshire and Cheshire, and had married Barbara Marshall, of Tideswell. When Bradshaw lost his wife - (in her accouchement) - his eldest child was only of tender age, so it was no wonder that the motherly heart of Barbara Wells went out to the little ones, and by such bereavement the friendship between the two families became so strengthened. The three sons of Bradshaw were Henry, John, and Francis; the three young Wells were Mary, Anne, and Bernard. The career of John, the President of the Regicides, is known to most students. Henry alone concerns us, from his love for Mary Wells. which resulted in their union, and from the part he enacted in a memorable part of England's history.
When, in the year 1626, Bernard Wells left Marple altogether and settled down at his recently finished Hall by Bakewell, it made no difference to Henry Bradshaw, not a whit: he came again and again, until at length he took away Mary as his wife, with Wybersley and Marple Halls in her dowry. The marriage settlement is dated 30th September, 1630. It was during these visits that incidents occurred which have made the old edifice dear to students of history, as well as antiquarians. There is every reason to believe that on more than one occasion when Henry Bradshaw came to Holme, his brother John came with him. Is it not of great interest to know that there have been gatherings within the walls of Holme in which there were two men and brothers, one of whom sat on the trial of the Seventh Earl of Derby, and judged him (however erroneously) worthy of death, and the other sentenced a Monarch of England to the scaffold? It may not be generally known that the reward of the regicide was the Chancellorship of the Duchy of Lancaster; grants of land to the Earl of St. Albans. to which Parliament added a gift of five thousand pounds. In the Ashmolean Museum, at Oxford, is the President's "high crowned hat, plated with steel to ward off the blow", as Kenneth hath it. Rugge tells us in his Diurnal, "this morning (30th January, 1661) the carcases of Cromwell, Ireton, and Bradshaw (which the day before had been brought front the Red Lion Inn, in Holborn) were drawn on a sledge to Tyburn, and then taken out of their coffins and, in their shrouds, hanged by the neck until the going down of the sun. They were then cut down, their heads taken off, and their bodies buried in a grave under the gallows". We believe, however, that mine host of the Red Lion had piled up his dollars by allowing the bodies to be surreptitiously replaced by others, and the hideous spectacle at Tyburn, which Pepys says (in his Diary) his lady went to see, was simply a ghastly farce.
Scarcely had Mary Wells left Holme and become a wife, when her husband had to buckle on his sword, for Charles I. was at war with his people. He fought under Fairfax, became Lieutenant-Colonel in Ashton's Regiment of Foot, and at the Battle of Worcester (where he was wounded) commanded the Militia. By this time, Mary Wells was dead and Bradshaw had taken a second spouse in Anne Bowden, of the Peak.[2] Henry Bradshaw was as much the enemy of Cromwell as of the Stuarts. He had no sympathy with the Independents; indeed, his name stands first on those Rolls that were before Parliament for the establishment of the Presbyterian religion. At the Restoration he was summoned to the Bar of the House of Lords, charged with the murder of Earl Derby, but acquitted or pardoned. It is worthy of note that the principal bail for his appearance at the time was Cromwell Meverell, of Tideswell. The events, however, in which he had taken part, helped to hasten his death, and within eighteen days of his liberation he was buried at Stockport. In a volume of the Historical Manuscripts Commission there is a copy of his petition to the Lords, in which he declared he never subscribed to the warrant for the Earl of Derby's execution, but used his influence to prevent it; and that his presence on the trial was compulsory, by order of Cromwell.
The Marple estates of the Bradshaws eventually passed to the daughter of Henry and Mary Wells - her brothers, one of whom was Sheriff of the County in 1701, all having died without issue. This lady was consecutively the wife of William Pimlot and Nathaniel Ishirwood; and the estate, after being held by her son by Pimlot, came to another son by Isherwood, whose descendants are still in possession. The present senior representative of the Peak Bradshaws is Charles E. Bradshaw-Bowles, Esq., of Aston Lodge, Derby, who holds deeds of the family which date from 1330. We would acknowledge the courtesy of this gentleman in supplying us with various items of information of this old Peak family.
What curious facts research yields up! It appears that the Bradshaws had a vellum pedigree made out in 1641, which sets forth that the name of Bradshaw is now an ancient one in this country, but came in with the Saxons, and that their ancestor was "Uchtred, the great Saxon Thane", from whom all the Bradshaws in England are descended. " He stood out agaynst the Conqueroure and bore arms agaynst him, yett upon his submission to the sayd Duke, of Normandy, being then King of England, it pleased the sayd Conqueroure to restore him to lyfe and lyving, judging him to be a man of great wytt and a noble spyritte, and a bould courage not easily daunted. but bould and courageous, in the face of his enemies". Uchtred, the Saxon, was undoubtedly Lord of various Manors in Derbyshire (as Elton, Cowley, Barlow), Lancashire, and other counties, which are shown in the Domesday Book; hut if the Thane were the ancestor of the Bradshaws, what a curious question suggests itself. Do the two old Derbyshire families of Foljambe and Bradshaw spring from the same Saxon ancestor or no? One with a maternal and the other with a paternal descent. We know that the first of the Derbyshire Foljambes, in the time of the Conqueror, married with a daughter or granddaughter of old Uchtred, which makes the assertion on the Bradshaw vellum both of interest and curiosity.
As we have said, Bernard Wells had another daughter, named Anne, whose beauty or dowry was sufficient to make Robert Eyre find his way to Holme from the residence of his sires at Highlow. Let us be just to both Eyre and Bradshaw. Neither of them knew that their wives would become heiresses, so that if their marriages were love matches it only invested Holme Hall with dearer associations. But did any father in this world ever allow two such opposite characters to cross his threshold to become his sons-in-law? Eyre and Bradshaw were the antithesis of each other - one was for sweeping away the Anglican ritual; the other paid heavily, like any other recusant, to worship God after the manner of his fathers - one considered that the welfare of the State needed neither King nor House of Peers for its government; the loyalty and conservatism of the other brought down upon him the ruinous exactions of those in power. The Eyres were the embodiment of chivalry; the Bradshaws of liberty and justice. Many who have noticed the brass to the memory of Bernard Wells in Bakewell Church have little thought of the sorrows his heart must have known during those years in which the country was ruled by tyranny or fanaticism, for every event seemed but to bring misery to the homesteads of one of his children. When he died, in 1658, Holme Hall became one of the residences of his daughter Anne and her husband Robert. His son Bernard had died ten years previously, and been buried in the Chancel of Eyam. This young gentleman is mentioned in Wood's Traditions of the Peak. His affection was given to a certain Anne Moreton, of Hazleford - the Maid of Derwent - whom he was forbidden by his father to marry: How he stole to her lattice window one night and persuaded her to fly with him, and how, in crossing the ford of the river, he lost his foothold and she perished in the stream, is told in the Traditions. This fact occasioned us to search for the resting-place of the two girls - one lies at Hope, the other at Stockport.
Among the domestic incidents connected with Holme Hall is one that is rather touching. The first born of Anne and Robert was a son, whose career at Trinity College, Cambridge, bid fair to be very brilliant, but which suddenly closed by his falling dead in his chambers. It was behind the altar-tomb in Hathersage Church that his sorrowing parents laid him to rest. On his slab they have written (in Greek capitals) the beautiful Christian legend, Hon philei Theos apothoneskei neos (whom God loves dies young). There is a pathos about each particular line of the families who have held Holme Hall, for all, we believe, are gone - Wells, Eyre, Birch, Barker, Gisborne. About the middle of last century it was the residence of John Twigge, who was Sheriff of the County in 1767, and his wife, Frances Foljambe, whose only son, Thomas Francis (M.A., Rector of Kelsey, in Lincolnshire, and of Tickhill) died without issue in 1821. In the early part of last century the senior Eyre, of Holme and Highlow (William, barrister of Grey's Inn), forsook the halls of his fathers, repudiated his own name, and assumed that of Archer. His wife was Eleanor, daughter of Sir Walter Wrottesley, whose mother was Eleanor Archer, of Welford, Berks. His son and heir (John) married Lady Mary Fitzwilliam, by whom he had a daughter, Susanna, married to Jacob Houblon, whose second son, Charles, adopted the name his great grandsire had relinquished. On the death of John, the halls at Highlow and Holme, with other property, were sold by order of Chancery. Highlow was purchased by the Duke of Devonshire; Holme by Robert Birch; it afterwards became the property of the Barkers, and finally was conveyed by purchase to Thomas John Gisborne, whose lady was Sally Krechmer, of St. Petersburgh.
Among the illustrious names of the county few stand out so prominently as that of Gisborne, whether as rectors or prebends of the Church, presidents of the College of Surgeons, Members of Parliament, Colonial governors, or mayors and aldermen. But it is the princely munificence of one of their house that has rendered their name a household word. We can turn to one hundred chapelries in the County of Derby, and find among the principal benefactors the name of Francis Gisborne. This gentleman was rector of Staveley, where his father had been before him, and their united terms of office yield a period of one hundred and five years. We should not forget, either, that he bequeathed two sums of sixteen thousand pounds each to the infirmaries of Sheffield and Derby. Dr. Thomas Gisborne was twice president of the College of Surgeons, was brother of Francis "the munificent", and son of James, of Staveley (who was uncle to John, of Yoxall, from whom so many illustrious sons). The sons of this family were graduates at St. John's College, Cambridge, for consecutive generations. There was John, "the man of prayer", author of the Vales of Wever and Reflections, written while living in Darley Dale; there was his brother Thomas, of Yoxall, author of an Inquiry Concerning Love as One of the Divine Attributes, and other abtruse subjects, the friend of the great Wilberforce; and there was Thomas, his son, who represented North Derbyshire in the Reform Parliament, who supported the Ballot, the Abolition of Church Rates, and the Extension of the Suffrage. In one feature the name is to be envied - we would sooner have ours stamped on the hearts of the poor than around the altars of our Cathedrals or on the scrolls of heralds. Among the old homesteads of Derbyshire, the Gisbornes have held (irrespective of Holme and Staveley Halls) The Ridge, Romely, Marsh, and Litchurch.
There is still one item of interest to the student - among the many which link themselves with Holme Hall - to which we will direct attention. Few of us may remember that the lady who was wife of John Twigge, the sheriff, was one of the last of the Foljambes. All those various branches of her house which had sprung from Sir Thomas, who died in 1358, were gone; she herself was buried from Holme before her thirty-ninth year, while there was a special Act of Parliament that the issue of her sister should retain the name of Foljambe. Had her son, the rector of Kelsey, perpetuated his line, his descendants would have quartered the arms of Foljambe. We believe that the rector was lord of the manor of Broadlow Ash, which he inherited from his grandfather Nicholas (who purchased it from the Boothbys), and which he devised to Francis Thornhaugh Foljambe. His relative of Bonsall left an estate there to the Milnes, though apparently he had a brother living at the time.
Holme Hall is situated on the eastern bank of the Wye, just without the town of Bakewell, on the Ashford road. Tourists (from the high wall in front of it) pass it, without the least suspicion of there being an edifice of such architectural beauty, enhanced by hoary age and historical memories.

merrieee, I would LOVE to come, but the finances are just too crazy anymore with hubby still out of a permanent job....sigh.
Meghan's video:
Info about the Gala has been updated!
https://www.inclusionproject.org/gala-2019/
Now that I'm at work and have some time...
First, that video from Meghan's wedding is fantastic. I've always loved that song, and I wish we could have heard the entire thing. It's such a good bluesy number, and I bet there were a few growls...
Secondly, more about the video last night. Watched it again on my big screen TV (love my Apple TV with the Facebook video app!), and he looked really good. Loved seeing him with Harlem, such a cute dog. The other thing he mentioned in the video was that we would be REALLY excited with the keynote speaker, because he's thrilled with the choice. However, he was a little taunter and basically said "I can't tell you yet, nyah nyah..." Needless to say, speculation abound!
Flights from my city are $340 round trip, but it's a direct flight. Plus the ticket cost, hotel, and food....sigh. With hubby still out of a real job and a work related trip in April (which we've tacked on a small vacation), I don't think this is doable. But if hubby suddenly finds a job, I'll be there!


So, we made it. All the way to the end. Three hundred and sixty five days of music reviews. Sure, there were a few moments when we thought we might not get here but thankfully, we stuck to our guns and kept on truckin'. And I'm glad we did. The feeling of achievement is undeniable. In fact, aside from a couple of reviews being a little late on the day, we've not missed one single deadline. For a world champion procrastinator like me, this is huge.
There have been some absolutely wonderful albums we've reviewed over the year, so much so, it's hard for me to pick a favourite. The variety has been quite astounding. I'm also pleased to say I think there was a great balance between new and old music. Some of the ones that come to mind include The Dead Weather, The Beatles, Paul Kelly, The Clash, Gorillaz, Sleepy Jackson, QOTSA, Florence & The Machine, Washington and Them Crooked Vultures, to name a very few. Somewhat surprisingly, instead of reducing our collection to a more manageable number as we thought this might do, our collection has actually grown. And we couldn't be happier.
One of the best things about starting this is meeting some great, like-minded people from around the world. It is a constant source of delight to me to get a comment from someone living on the other side of the planet who, through no particular fault of their own, shares similar views. That sense of being part of a community is wonderful.
With this in mind, our final give-away will be going to the one of the people who have offered us great advice, comments and friendship over the year. This is not to say you all don't deserve something, because you do. But we're not Oprah (thankfully), so we've had to make a hard decision about who its going to be. Our friend Martin, at Music Obsessive, has provided some great comments, food for thought and support over the year and we are very grateful for it. There is a special padded bag of goodness on its way to him, along with our heartfelt thanks.
A big thanks to Mine; my lovely wife, best friend and the smartest, prettiest sparring partner I could have ever hoped for - thanks for putting up with my raving, ranting and general palaver. You continue to rock my world!
So, where to now. One thing we know is we'll be taking a bit of a break for the first couple of weeks of the year to collect ourselves and get some idea of what we'll be doing. Rest assured, we'll be back, but just not every day. And we've already decided to expand our reviews to include all the different interests we have, both together and separately. And we look forward to sharing these with you. Thanks for sticking with us so far.
Let him get in the first word and he never shuts up... that's something I've come to love about YourZ. Of course, I have a tendency to babble too, so often the volume of stream-of-consciousness at or house reaches death metal levels.
I'll admit that when we were coming up the final days, all I wanted to do was stop. It's been a bit of a stretch for me, just because writing is what I do for a living and this has on occasion felt like a second, part-time job. Some days it's hard to get enthusiastic about a review when I've had eight hours of intensive reading, writing and editing under my belt already. But that's not to say that I haven't also managed to write a lot of this in my downtime from said day job.
I guess it's the enthusiasm that YourZ has managed to hold for this project through thick and thin that's kept me tagging along; sometimes willingly, sometimes with that sulky teenage whine and sometimes kicking my heels in an all-out childish tantrum. So I guess I have to thank him, too for getting us through it. And for enthusing me enough to consider keeping this going next year. Expanding our horizons with more things to review. But always with our two points of view.
We've made some great friends along the way, and I hope you'll hang in there while we take a breath and regroup. New horizons in the New Year. Hope you all have a fabulous time. As a good friend of mine said to me in high school - "Have fun, rave lots, don't O.D." Wise words that I've managed to stick by for some thirty-odd years.
It's been a fabulous ride with you guys!!! I thoroughly enjoyed reading this blog daily. I have nothing, but praise for this blog! The very idea of this husband/wife team doing reviews was a brilliant one. I just loved the personal touch in the reviews. I'm really looking forward to what you guys have in store for the future.
BTW thanks for the CD!
Well, what can I say? Except thank you very much. I'm very flattered, but then I've really enjoyed reading your blog. As Drew has said, the idea for this blog has all the hallmarks of greatness: it's simple and to the point. I've loved to see how you have reacted to some of my favourite albums and learnt alot about stuff which has been off my radar.
I'm so pleased that you are considering continuing. Take some time and have a re-think about the format. Not all blogs post daily or even weekly. Don't make it a chore and we, the readers will be happy.
glad you'll still be poking around out here - have enjoyed this tremendously! happy new year!
You guys did a great job! I look forward to reading what you have in store for us in 2011.

Home » DVD » Sleuth
Reviewed on January 25, 2002 by Guido Henkel in DVD, Reviews // 0 Comments
Cast: Michael Caine, Laurence Olivier
Extras: Featurette, Trailer, TV Spot, Biographies
Jospeh Mankiewicz's mystery comedy 'Sleuth' still ranks as one of the best of its genre and I find myself smiling smirking still, just as I write this. The story of a wealthy writer (Laurence Olivier) and a penniless hairdresser (Michael Caine) planning a robbery is as fascinating as it is funny. Witty and full of surprises, the two men never get to trust each other as they eye each other suspiciously, never knowing who's playing who.
Anchor Bay Entertainment has prepared another one of their remarkable DVD transfers for this release of sleuth. Absolutely clean and free of defects, 'Sleuth ' has never looked better. The image is revealing an incredible amount of detail and if it weren't for the muted color scheme of the movie itself, you would never guess its true age. Colors are nicely reproduced and always stable. Contrast is very good, giving the atmospheric cinematography an additional edge, as the image is full of little details, deep shadows and good highlights. The compression is without flaws, making 'Sleuth' a beautiful presentation to watch.
The DVD comes with the original mono audio track in English, as well as a monaural French dub. While sounding a bit dated with its limited frequency response the track is absolutely sufficient for the mostly dialogue-driven presentation and never becomes a point of distraction.
The disc also contains a new 23-minute featurette entitled 'A Sleuthian Journey With Anthony Shaffer.' Shaffer, who wrote the original stageplay and the screenplay for the film takes a retrospective look at the production of the film and its life since. The theatrical trailer and TV Spot can also be found on the disc, as well as cast and crew biographies.
'Sleuth' is a great movie that is all-too often overlooked, in part because of its originals as stage play, which gives it s certain static feel. Nonetheless, the wits that went in to the story and the dialogues, the superb acting and the clever execution of the film make it a true classic. In the hands of Anchor Bay Entertainment, this film has now found the home it has always deserved. In pristine quality for all of us to enjoy.
"Without a Clue?" No problem, this new Blu-Ray Disc can help…

Ruby developers who prefer a few tools that provide strong type
checking. This is particularly useful if you are working in a larger
ruby codebase.

## Purpose

TypedClass provides a strongly typed class for ruby. The classes are
very simple to define and provide immutable classes with convenient
constructors and very strong type validation for values.

Note that TypedClasses can only inherit from the class TypedClass. See
examples/inheritance.rb for more information.

## Installation

    gem install typed-class
    require 'typed_class'

## Simple Example

    class User < TypedClass

      field :user_id, Integer
      field :email, String

    end

    user = User.new(123, "mb@gilt.com")
    puts "Hello user_id[%s] with email[%s]" % [user.user_id, user.email]

    => Hello user_id[123] with email[mb@gilt.com]

## Example with optional fields and defaults

    class User < TypedClass

      field :user_id, Integer
      field :email, String
      field :name, option(String)
      field :gender, option(String), :default => 'Unknown'

    end

    user = User.new(123, "mb@gilt.com", :name => "Mike")
    puts user.inspect
    => #<User:0x10266be28 @name="Mike", @user_id=123, @email="mb@gilt.com", @gender="Unknown">

## Example with post instance initialization

    class User < TypedClass

      field :user_id, Integer
      field :email, String

      after_initialize do
        puts "Hello user_id[%s] email[%s]" % [user_id, email]
        if email == ""
          raise "Email cannot be blank"
        end
      end

    end

    User.new(123, "mb@gilt.com")
    => Hello user_id[123] email[mb@gilt.com]
    => #<User:0x1026030f8 @name=nil, @user_id=123, @email="mb@gilt.com", @gender="Unknown">

Many populations fear big job loss from automation: survey
Fri, Sep 14, 2018 - 6:54 AM
The public is broadly fearful that automation will lead to significant job losses, with many populations skeptical the technologies will boost economic efficiency, according to a survey of 10 countries released Thursday.
[NEW YORK] The public is broadly fearful that automation will lead to significant job losses, with many populations skeptical the technologies will boost economic efficiency, according to a survey of 10 countries released Thursday.
The survey, by the Pew Research Centre, revealed some variation among the countries polled, with Greece, South Africa and Argentina expressing the highest degree of certainty on the displacement of human workers by technology.
But large majorities in all 10 countries agreed that automation would "definitely" or "probably" lead to significant job losses. The lowest percentage was the United States, with 65 per cent, the report said.
Large majorities in all 10 countries also agreed people would have a hard time finding work and that inequality would worsen due to automation and artificial intelligence.
One question with a big range was whether automation would make the economy more efficient. Majorities in seven countries were skeptical of that upside, with just 33 per cent of Italians taking that view.

But there were three exceptions where majorities accepted that argument: Japan (74 per cent), Poland (61 per cent) and Hungary (52 per cent).
Another area of variance was on the government's role in preparing the workforce for the future.
Argentina, Brazil and Italy were among the countries where more than 70 per cent said the public sector should assume this responsibility, a view shared by just 35 per cent in the United States.
"People are much more worried about the impact on jobs and inequality than they are that this is going to increase efficiency in the economy or create new job opportunities," said Bruce Stokes, director of global economic attitudes at Pew.
"The positive argument for this whole economic trend is not resonating with at least the public we surveyed," he said. "Simply telling people, 'Don't worry. This will be good for you.' People aren't accepting it."

Q: Angular Observable doesn't update in view after calling .next() I am using Google Maps API to validate an address. I have a service to handle this in a function called checkDistance() In the service, I created an observable called verifyMessage$ to communicate in the view if the address is valid or not.
The view contains a verify button that calls the component function verifyAddress() which then calls the service's checkDistance();
Here's the problem: the observable is not updated with the new value until I click the page again.  I click verify, and then in the console I can see the result has been set but the "Loading..." does not go away and the verifyMessage value is not updated until I randomly click the page somewhere. What am I doing wrong? How do I fix this?
delivery-component.html
     <input formControlName="address" matInput placeholder="Start typing delivery address..." google-place>
    <button mat-raised-button color="primary" (click)="verifyAddress()" class="col-2">Verify</button>

{{ message.value }}

Loading...

checkout service:
  ...

  async checkDistance(location_obj) {

    this.loading = true;

    ... Google Maps API stuff ..

          this.result = this.checkValidity(distance);

          console.log('result is: ', this.result);

          if (this.result) {

            // if valid set this message so can be updated in view

            this.verifyMessage$.next({value: 'Great, that address is in our range.'});
            this.loading = false;
            this.verified=true;

          } else {

            this.verifyMessage$.next({value: 'Uh oh, that address is out of our range. '});
            this.loading = false;
            this.verified=false;
          }
        });
  }

deliveryPrompt.component.ts
import ...

export class DeliveryPromptComponent implements OnInit {

  deliveryAddressForm: FormGroup;
  message: string;
  verified$ = new BehaviorSubject({value: false});
  verified = this.verified$.asObservable();

  loading = false;

  constructor(public dialogRef: MatDialogRef<DeliveryPromptComponent>, @Inject(MAT_DIALOG_DATA) public data: any, public checkout: CheckoutHandlerService,  public fb: FormBuilder, public loginService: AuthService, private cd: ChangeDetectorRef) {

  }

  ngOnInit() {
    this.checkout.verifyMessage$.subscribe();
    this.checkout.verifyMessage.subscribe();

    this.deliveryAddressForm = this.fb.group({
      address: ['', [Validators.required]]
    });
    this.deliveryAddressForm.valueChanges.subscribe(form => {
      //console.log(form);
     });
     this.message = '';
  }

...
  async verifyAddress() {

    console.group('loading 1', this.loading);
    await this.checkout.checkDistance(this.checkout.tempAddress);

  }

A: i had a similar problem using angular +8.  When i use only
ng serve

angular rxjs was not sending the next value, but if i use
ng serve --aot=true

it works,
it should be an issue on optimization.
Hope it helps!
