Q: Preferred way to do logging in the SpringFrame work I have done some searches looking for information about how to do logging with the Spring Framework.
We currently have an application that has no logging in it except for system.out statements (very bad way).
What I would like to do, is add logging, but also want to be able to control the logging at run time, with say JMX.
We are using Rad 7.0 / WebSphere 6.1
I am interesting to find out what is the best way(s) to accomplish this (I figure there may be several).
Update:  Thoughts on the following Spring AOP Logging Good ideal or not.  This is in reference to a question posted here on logging:  Conditional Logging.  Does this improve things or just makes it more difficult in the area of logging?

A: I would use Commons Logging and Log4j.  This is not really a question for Spring, however the Springframework source does uses Commons Logging as well. If you create a log4j logger and appender in log4j, you can enable logging within the Springframework classes too.  There are a few ways to control logging at runtime.  The Log4j sandbox has a JSP, that you can drop into your webapp, that will allow you to control the log levels of all of the loggers within your application.

A: See the other answers for log4j. But also consider JAMon for application monitoring. It's very easy to add to a spring application, e.g.:
    <bean id="performanceMonitor" class="org.springframework.aop.interceptor.JamonPerformanceMonitorInterceptor">
        <property name="useDynamicLogger" value="false"/>
        <property name="trackAllInvocations" value="true"/>
    </bean>

   <bean id="txRequired" class="org.springframework.transaction.interceptor.TransactionProxyFactoryBean" abstract="true">
            <property name="transactionManager" ref="transactionManager"/>
            <property name="transactionAttributes" >
                <props> <prop key="*">PROPAGATION_REQUIRED</prop> </props>
            </property>
        <property name="preInterceptors">
           <list>
              <ref bean="performanceMonitor"/>
           </list>
        </property>
   </bean>

A: here's a sample file for configuring log4j for a console and file logger.  if this file is on the classpath it will get read by log4j automatically.  However, since you're inside an app server, there may be another preferred way of configuring logging.  I remember inside JBoss there was an xml file you had to modify.  Not sure about websphere configuration.  But if you want to configure it for a simple test app, this will get you going.
# Set root logger level to WARN and appenders to A1 & F1.
log4j.rootLogger=WARN, A1, F1

# A1 is set to be a ConsoleAppender.
log4j.appender.A1=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
# logging to console only INFO
log4j.appender.A1.Threshold=INFO
# F1 is a file appender
log4j.appender.F1=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender

# Tell Spring to be quiet
log4j.logger.org.springframework=WARN
# debug logging for my classes
log4j.logger.com.yourcorp=DEBUG
log4j.logger.org.hibernate=INFO

# A1 uses PatternLayout.
log4j.appender.A1.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout

The thing is, if you're a Jacobin reader, you know that Jacobin is not ideologically the same as The New York Times' opinion page. And if you're a Breitbart reader, you know Breitbart is not ideologically the same as National Review. New York Times is left liberal. Jacobin is socialist. National Review is libertarian right. Breitbart is alt-right. Jacobin loves Bernie Sanders. The NYT opinion page loved Clinton. National Review was full of never Trumpers. Breitbart was run by Steve Bannon. The fights that go on in American primaries are largely missed by this chart.
This chart commits the grievous sin of calling centrism "neutral", when it is itself a substantive basket of positions and ideas. Worse, it implies that the more you deviate from the establishment consensus, the lower the quality of your work and the more damaging you are to public discourse. It also contains glaring mistakes, like positioning New Republic and Slate to the left of Jacobin, and failing to distinguish meaningfully between Jacobin and Vox or The Atlantic. And again, no distinction is made between left liberalism and the socialist left, or between establishment conservatism and the alt-right.
They have fundamentally different core premises from their interlocutors.
They are themselves being inconsistent and are confused about what their own view implies.
When I put Intercept and Breitbart somewhere in the middle of the two arms of my triangle, it wasn't because I really believe they occupy some coherent centrist position between the the liberal press and the more full-throated socialist or alt-right press. It's because I am not confident those publications know where they stand. They aren't sure whether they wish to retain liberal premises or discard them.
When I say "liberal premises", what do I mean? I'm talking about a set of core beliefs which underwrite most of the mainstream discourse, including both the left-liberal and establishment conservative publications. This principally includes a commitment to the idea that politics is mainly about individuals and the choices they make. Liberalism is committed on some level to individualism. This means that individuals are entitled to demand to be personally represented in some way, that their interests as an individual ought to be the thing that gets represented in democracy. This involves a conception of the person as fundamentally autonomous and exercising some form of free will.
The alt-right is different, because the alt-right thinks the world is not made up of individuals, but of primordial peoples. For the alt-right, the individual is to find meaning as part of a people, and it is the role of the state to represent its people's cultural essence. Where liberals will say that the state must find a way to accommodate difference among individuals, the alt-right will say that the state must protect and defend the culture of the national or ethnic people to whom it belongs. Liberals sometimes think about groups instead of mere individuals, but when they think about groups they don't think about them in this way. Instead of saying that each group is entitled to a state which represents it or belongs to it in some thick way, liberals propose that each group be recognised and given its due within the framework of one multicultural state. The alt-right wants nation-states, in which each "people" or "nation" gets its own state. Liberals want multinational states, in which a cosmopolitan state transcends the narrow notion of the nation and recognises the distinctive value of all individuals. The liberal person is an autonomous agent. The alt-right person is a product of a culture, an example of a people.
There is a tension there, because to this point liberals have not been able to have states without nationalism, and the alt-right has not been able to have nation-states which have not featured liberal contingents. Both liberalism and nationalism are relatively modern theories, because ancient peoples did not think primarily in terms of either individuals or national peoples. But I think we can say that these two schools of thought conceptualise the political quite differently.
The socialist left is different, because the socialist left thinks the world is not made up of individuals or of primordial peoples, but of classes. For socialists, liberal individualism leaves people alienated and atomised, denied membership in real communities by capitalism. The alt-right makes false promises of community on the basis of fictitious entities, like primordial peoples, nations, and ethnicities, while leaving the capitalist system which is responsible for the alienation and atomisation intact. Socialists want some kind of order which doesn't include it.
Unlike liberalism and nationalism, class-based frames have been around a long time and precede Karl Marx by a long way. The attention to capitalism specifically is quite modern, but you can find discussions of class conflict in Machiavelli and Aristotle. Of course, Machiavelli and Aristotle never thought this conflict could be transcended–merely managed. The idea that it is possible to get out of this and arrive at some social formation without it is more distinctively modern. Where the ancients will come up with ways of creating an order that can deal with class conflict, the modern socialists will attempt to generate this conflict in a bid to push toward the new world they envision. The socialist person is, to hearken back to Aristotle, "what they repeatedly do." For socialists, we are our jobs until we can find a way to abolish them, and in so doing become something better.
These are of course, not the only three schools of thought to have existed (the more theocratic tradition associated with divine right of kings is mostly absent from contemporary discourse, for example), and there are immense differences within each. But for a long time, virtually all of American political discourse occurred within the liberal box, and it was possible to describe American political discourse as a spectrum between left-liberals (who seek to "level the playing field" for individuals, while remaining entirely embedded in an individualist frame) and conservatives (who seek to protect the individual's property rights from the left-liberals). This is a conflict between "gentler liberal capitalism" and "more aggressive liberal capitalism". It is the conflict between Hillary Clinton and Jeb Bush, or at the very most, between Lyndon Johnson and Ayn Rand.
The entirety of the pre-2008 American political debate is contained within that middle box. If your chart doesn't take into account the reality that it's widened out and become more complex since then, it's not helping people. If you want a complete feel for opinion in the United States, you need to read more than the two sides of the liberal debate–you need to venture into the neighboring boxes. And if you find them too frightening, too intolerable, or too deplorable? Then you have to admit you're not going to be totally up to date on what's going on, and some major developments in our political discourse are going to happen in places you don't venture.

Classic Movie Characters: Judy Benjamin
Classic Movie Characters: Dr. Strangelove
Classic Movie Characters: King Kong
The Christmas Chronicles: Part Two (2020, Kurt Russell, Goldie Hawn)
The Sugarland Express (Goldie Hawn, Ben Johnson)
Played by Goldie Hawn in Private Benjamin
Star and executive producer Hawn never envisioned Nancy Meyers's comedic script about a Jewish princess-divorcée (and widow) who joins the Army as a "full-on feminist film," she says. "I mean, what's so heroic about walking away from what's bad in your life?" Well, nothing—but that's exactly why Private Judy Benjamin is so likable. She has more flaws than Swiss cheese has holes, yet she still shows up the Thornbirds. Though she played a feisty naïf ("Is green the only color these come in?" Judy asks about her fatigues), Hawn was all business offscreen as both a producer and a new mom: "Kate [Hudson] was nine months old, and I took her to the office with me every day."
Fortunately, there was no need for boot-camp conditioning. "I had just had a baby and was already on the case," she says. "Getting back into shape was an everyday effort." Physical comedy, costars like Eileen Brennan ("my friend from Laugh-In"), and "jokes that were driven by character instead of mindless shtick" all combined to make Private Benjamin click.
Defining Moment: "When Judy's parents came to take her away from the Army," Hawn says. "The sergeant was overjoyed she was leaving and held the release document in front of her face, coaxing her to sign on the dotted line. That marked the beginning of Judy's awakening."
1980. Directed by Howard Zieff.

[ARCHIVED] Broward Expands Phase I Reopening - Beaches, Gyms & Hotels can Reopen with Restrictions on May 26
COVID-19 UPDATE #36
BROWARD EXPANDS PHASE I REOPENING - BEACHES, GYMS AND HOTELS CAN REOPEN WITH RESTRICTIONS ON TUESDAY, MAY 26, 2020
Davie, Fla. – Broward County Administrator Bertha Henry issued Emergency Order 20-13 on Friday, May 22, 2020, which extends Phase 1 reopening guidelines to beaches, commercial gyms and fitness centers, hotels and other commercial lodging, with restrictions, effective Tuesday, May 26, 2020.
These re-openings are in addition to those outlined in Emergency Order 20-12 issued May 21, 2020. Because COVID-19 remains a serious threat to public safety, social distancing, facial covering and sanitation requirements remain in place for businesses that have reopened, and the individuals who patronize them.
Highlights of the new order include:
• All beaches can open with limited hours (sunrise to sunset). Ocean activities such as surfing, swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding and body surfing are allowed; also walking, running, and biking.
• Like other communities across the country, Broward beaches are not yet opening for picnicking, sunbathing, sitting, or lying on the beach. Group or organized sports (such as volleyball), umbrellas, canopies, chairs, loungers, and coolers are also not yet allowed, and no group gatherings of more than 10 people. Beachgoers must maintain social distancing (six feet of separation), except between members of the same household or groups.
• Commercial gyms and fitness centers, including but not limited to dance, martial arts, yoga, spinning and personal training studios can open, with adherence to the guidelines. This includes pools in those facilities, with restrictions.
• Hotels, motels, and commercial lodging establishments can open with adherence to guidelines. Staff is required to wear facial coverings and gloves for all customer-facing activities. Guests must wear facial coverings in all common areas. Ballrooms and other special function spaces remain closed. Proprietors are encouraged to post on their website, blog, or social media the steps they are taking to keep their guests safe.
• Pari-mutuel facilities (as defined by Florida Statutes Section 550.002(23), are to remain closed, except for when the establishment is being utilized for a use expressly permitted under a Broward County Emergency Order, or by a professional sports team to conduct or host a training, competition, event or game in accordance with the Governor's Executive Order 20-123.
• Vacation rentals are open, but only for essential lodgers, as authorized by the Governor's Executive Order 20-87.
• All businesses are still strongly encouraged to perform remote operations whenever possible and allow employees to utilize telework or other remote working methods that permit social distancing.
Davie Police and Code Enforcement staff will be monitoring the re-opening of businesses and working to ensure that businesses understand the re-opening guidelines and obtain cooperative compliance.
Residents are urged to continue to be vigilant as this reopening is not an indication that the pandemic is over. You must stay vigilant to keep yourself and others safe and so we do not have increased spread or a spike in COVID-19 cases.

Germantown Community Theatre hosted a groundbreaking ceremony Tuesday morning to announce the official start of the $1.5 million capital improvement campaign. ABOVE: Attending the event, from left, Dr. Michael D. Miles, Tony Salvaggio, Charles Salvaggio, Michael Walker, Mark Billingsley, Alderman Rocky Janda and Germantown Mayor Mike Palazzolo.
Germantown Community Theatre hosted a ground breaking ceremony Tuesday morning to announce the official beginning of their $1.5 million capital campaign — Build, Grow, Expand. Special attendees included Mayor Mike Palazzolo and the theatre's Board of Directors.
The focus of the campaign is to raise funds for a major expansion and facility improvement project that will increase the overall patron and volunteer experience.
Construction will commence this summer. Once complete, ticketholders will enter the theatre via a widened reception area, complete with accessible bathrooms and new concession counter.
Theatre artists and volunteers will enjoy a brand new scene shop, dressing area, green room and privatebathrooms.
In addition to improving the current theatre space, a second building will be constructed where the Bonnie Robinson Rehearsal Hall currently stands.
This two-story expansion will add 5,900 square feet to the existing footprint and contain space for receptions (complete with kitchen), classes, rehearsals and offices.
GCT expects the added classroom space will allow for increased educational offerings. The campaign will make GCT a physical representation of the existing operational gem that is Germantown's community theatre. In addition, the project will help create more efficient systems to decrease operational costs and make GCT more nimble, green and environmentally friendly.
"Our city is poised to be an equity partner with regards to GCT's capital campaign," Palazzolo said.
Gifts and pledges for the capital campaign project will be accepted between 2016-18 via mail at 3037 Forest Hill-Irene, Germantown, TN 38138, over the phone at 453-7447, or online at gctcomeplay.org/donate.

From ceramic pots, glassware, plants, trophies and books, people decorate their living room shelves with a melange of items. But what makes the glass cabinet at K. Varghese's house at Pathichira, near Mavelikara, Alappuzha, elegant is the display of an assortment of pens of various brands.
Mr. Varghese, a retired professor of Botany at St. Stephen's College, Pathanapuram, boasts a collection of over 3,000 pens using 15 different colour inks of 54 brands such as Mont Blanc, Sheaffer, Parker, Balenciaga, Swiss Military, Montegrappa, Pilot, Philippe Moraly, Cross, Waterman, Quil and so on. He has amassed the pens, which include a huge bunch of rare and costly fountain pens, over a period of 40 years.
The sexagenarian says writing with a fountain pen with black ink gives him enormous joy. "I started showing an interest in pens during my college days. A priest named Geevarghese was the first to give me a pen, a Parker, as a gift before I was about to attend a degree exam. I was intrigued by its quality. My interest in pens gradually evolved and later turned into a passion," says Mr. Varghese.
After joining St. Stephen's, Mr. Varghese started scouring pen shops and street markets for writing tools. Pens not available here were sourced from overseas with the help of friends and relatives. On average, he spends ₹5,000 every month to buy pens.
The collectables include a Parker 21 with a gold nib, a Balenciaga, which is currently valued at ₹1 lakh apiece, and a diamond-studded Parker. The Parker 21 is the oldest in his collection. The pen, used by his grandfather, G. Pappy, was handed over to Mr. Varghese by his father, P. Kunjukunju. He also possesses 30 calligraphy pens.
Mr. Varghese puts the total value of his pens at ₹15 lakh, but not a single one is for sale. "Earlier, I used to collect stamps and coins too. But with the postal mail disappearing, I shifted my focus entirely to pen and books. Today, those who know me gift me pens on special occasions. Whenever it comes to my turn to present gifts, I give my friends pen and books," he says.

NGC 7217 is an unbarred spiral galaxy in the constellation Pegasus.

Features
NGC 7217 is a gas-poor system whose main features are the presence of several rings of stars concentric to its nucleus: three main ones –the outermost one being of the most prominent and the one that features most of the gas and star formation of this galaxy – plus several others inside the innermost one discovered with the help of the Hubble Space Telescope; a feature that suggests NGC 7217's central regions have suffered several starbursts. There is also a very large and massive spheroid that extends beyond its disk.

Other noteworthy features this galaxy has are the presence of a number of stars rotating in the opposite direction around the galaxy's center to most of them and two distinct stellar populations: one of intermediate age on its innermost regions and a younger, metal-poor version  on its outermost ones.

It has been suggested these features were caused by a merger with another galaxy and, in fact, computer simulations show that NGC 7217 could have been a large lenticular galaxy that merged with one or two smaller gas-rich ones of late Hubble type becoming the spiral galaxy we see today; however right now this galaxy is isolated in space, with no nearby major companions. More recent research, however, presents a somewhat different scenario in which NGC 7217's massive bulge and halo would have been formed in a merger and the disk formed later (and is still growing) either accreting gas from the intergalactic medium or smaller gas-rich galaxies, or most likely from a previously existing reserve.

Home PAKISTAN Senate Panel concerned over location of COMSATS Quetta Campus
Senate Panel concerned over location of COMSATS Quetta Campus
ISLAMABAD, JAN 4: /DNA/ – The Senate Standing Committee on Science and Technology on Wednesday was informed that the report of the WHO about the usage of adulterant milk by 87pc of the Pakistan's population has not been obtained as yet. The Committee inquired on the malnutrition milk consumed by 99 pc of population of Pakistan causing serious health issues like early puberty problems in children and other health issues injurious to health. "The preservatives used in the milk makes it useable till a fort night, whereas milk is suppose to break in a couple of days" Senator Engr. Rukhsana Zuberi questioned, implying chemicals injurious to health she further added. The Director General, Pakistan Standard Quality Control Authority apprised the committee that the share of formal milk supply ( packages and traceable milk amounts to 3.2pc with annual production of 22.0 bl. liters. However, 96.8 pc of the milk is used in loose/unpackaged form. It was further informed that the checking of quality of loose/unpacked milk is the mandate of provincial Food authorities. The officials informed that the reported issues with regard to loose milk include adulteration and contamination. The PSQCA has developed a standard for Pasteurization Guidelines. Senator Muhammad Humayun Mohmand regretted the fact that food standardization of I pc population is been regularized, whereas no heed is given to the food of economically disadvantaged class, leading to extensive health issues unaffordable by the under privileged class. "It is very easy to say that it is not in our mandate putting at stake lives of millions" Humayun stressed. The Ministry maintained that the enforcement of Pasteurization laws will give food standards to local food. The committee was briefed that, Pakistan is the 4th largest milk producer in the world with 62 bl. liters annual production. The thermal treatment (Minimal pasteurization) is mandatory in different countries such as USA, Canada New Zealand Australia etc. and Pakistan should also practice this and completely outlaw the raw milk sale, by which the consumer will get safer milk.
The Senate Science and Technology Committee met on Wednesday under the Chairmanship of Senator Sardar Muhammad Shafiq here at the Parliament House to discuss various pending matters to be deliberated with the Ministry.
Senator Syed Shibli Faraz emphasized on the halt of the approval of the HEMP Policy which is a great set back on the Foreign Exchange Policy of the country. " HEMP will bring 1 to 2 bl. Foreign exchange earnings for the country he grieved" The committee unanimously showed displeasure to be conveyed to the Prime Ministers office for the delay of approval of HEMP policy by the cabinet. The committees also minuted the displeasure on the absence of the Minister. "An absence of the Minister either shows that he cannot face the committee on the issue or do not consider the issue important enough, to pay heed" stated Senator Kamran Murtaza. The committee unanimously condemned not only the delay in the HEMP policy approval but also the delay in the transferring the headquarters of PSQCA from Karachi to Islamabad. The committee lamented that the day to day changing of the government should be source of light for the decisions of the country rather than political bias and conflicts Shibli Faraz said that such delay which is a contribution to the nations progress is a criminal negligence and loss to the People of Pakistan. He also inquired on the National Science and Technology Policy. The ministry updated that meetings will be held after constitution of the working groups in the 45 days.
While updating the status of the appointment of Director General, PSQCA in MP-I scale that the process has been initiated and the post was advertised on 27-11-2022 with a total no of 98 applications being received, these applications will be scrutinized in accordance with MP Scale Policy, 2020 and selected candidates will be interviewed by the Federal Minister which afterwards will be further scrutinized by Federal Cabinet.

Fee-Shifting and the American Rule
In general, litigants in U.S. courts pay for their own attorneys' fees and costs, regardless of the outcome of the case. In other words, if Joe sues Betty for breach of contract, Joe pays his attorney and Betty pays her attorney, regardless of who wins. This is known as the "American Rule".
An exception to this American Rule is fee-shifting. Parties to a contract could have a fee-shifting provision in an agreement, and certain statutes contain fee-shifting provisions. There are over 200 federal statutes, and nearly 2,000 state statutes that include fee-shifting provisions. While some of these statutes are true fee-shifting statute, where the loser pays, many only allow for plaintiffs who prevail to recover attorneys' fees.
The Fair Labor Standards Act is one federal statute that contains a fee-shifting provision which provides, "the court in [an FLSA] action shall, in addition to any judgment awarded to the plaintiff or plaintiffs, allow a reasonable attorney's fee to be paid by the defendant…." Like other statutes with similar fee-shifting provisions, Congress' intent was to encourage attorneys to take meritorious cases for plaintiffs with limited economic means. By including a fee-shifting provision, individuals who have legal claims but cannot afford to pay an attorney's hourly fees are not foreclosed from accessing the justice system based on a lack of resources.
Likewise, attorneys are provided with an incentive to take on cases for plaintiffs with limited means because they can request that the defendants pay their attorneys' fees. However, because cases can take years to wind their way through the court system, attorneys who litigate these types of matters must have adequate economic resources in order to keep the lights on and pay support staff until the court awards attorneys' fees. In circumstances where this is not the case, plaintiff financing may provide attorneys with the means to see the case to the end.
Fee-shifting statutes may also provide an incentive for defendants to settle meritorious claims quickly to avoid paying extra in plaintiff's attorneys' fees, an argument for judicial economy in courts that are clogged with claims.
Critics of fee-shifting statutes argue that these provisions actually lead to an increase in spurious claims because plaintiffs who are not paying hourly fees have little to lose in a lawsuit. This argument is somewhat tempered by the idea that a plaintiff's attorney is unlikely to bring a meritless case, since fees are only awarded in the event the plaintiff prevails.
Cases brought under fee-shifting statutes can produce strange results. For example, a 2014 case in which an Alabama man received $1,000 to settle his excessive force case against five police officers received media attention for the $459,000 of attorneys' fees and costs that his attorneys received in the settlement. While cases like this may have precedential value and support public policy goals, cases like this may not do much for public perception of attorneys and the balance of justice.

French Prepare
The Waterloo Assocation > History > Waterloo Campaign > The Waterloo Campaign > French Prepare
Napoleon had found France divided on his return. The military were very much for him, but the country as a whole was war weary, having been at war almost constantly for twenty three years and having suffered over a million casualties (the loss to France, although over a longer period, was in fact similar, in proportion to the size of population to her losses in the First World War). Many areas of the country were openly hostile to a new war or at least quietly obstructive; the internal situation was far from promising.
Napoleon arrived in Paris to find that the majority of the government had fled and that everything was in complete disarray; he was also keen to prove his credentials as a reformed man, with new freedoms and electoral reforms. All of his renowned vigour and drive would now be needed to put things right quickly.
The myriad of orders that suddenly emanated from Paris touched every conceivable aspect of life. At the same time all of the frontier fortresses and mountain passes were put on alert for attacks and ordered to be fully armed and provisioned.
Joseph Fouché- Minister for Police, known for his savagery and scheming
La Vendee, the traditional home of royalist support, predictably led the revolts against him and the fighting there was to require the use of a significant number of troops which would otherwise have been available to join the main army, including two whole regiments of the Young Guard. Numerous royalist areas rose up against the return of Napoleon, although it was only on 21 May that Napoleon admitted to the chambers that civil war was breaking out in La Vendee and he claimed that the British wielded great influence there. However, this threat was dramatically reduced by Fouche, the new Minister of Police, when he sent out the Comte de Malartic as a peace emissary. He succeeded in persuading the majority of the Vendean leaders that they were attacking too early, as fighting alone, the weight of the whole French army could be turned against them and that they would be annihilated with ease. It would be much better to wait and launch their attacks when the allies began their invasion of France in June. The advice was accepted by the great majority of leaders and when the recalcitrant commander in chief, the Comte de Rochejacquelein was killed in a skirmish on 3 June, the war petered out; but the 20,000 French troops committed to the Vendee were unable to join Napoleon before Waterloo, a significant loss.
The Duc d'Angouleme had proceeded to Nimes the day that Napoleon had entered Lyon on his march to Paris, almost all of the troops in that city proceeding with the Emperor. This left the south of France virtually undefended and with a newly raised army of about six thousand local peasants and workers, from Languedoc and Provence known locally as 'Miquelets', he planned to march on Lyon. Without uniforms and only the insignia of a fleur de lys on their jackets to identify themselves and armed with a mixture of hunting rifles, pitchforks and cudgels, they marched on, confident of taking France's second city. Napoleon responded by sending Lieutenant General Grouchy to Lyon, who quickly pulled together a ragtag army of volunteers and retired soldiers and marched out to meet d'Angouleme. The contending forces met at La Pallud near Marseille where d'Angouleme's troops were routed and the prince captured, but allowed to sail to Spain, to avoid again the awkward problem of what to do with members of the royal family. But throughout the following campaign wanton acts of revenge, destruction and intimidation continued on both sides in the south. Grouchy was made a marshal for his success; this decision made him a key player in the ensuing campaign.
The situation at Marseille was so critical that the city's great arsenal of 100,000 kilograms of gunpowder and 500,000 cartridges had to be transferred to Lyon and Toulon for safety. The 4,000 strong National Guard in the city was also disbanded and the Observation corps of Var, under Marshal Brune was told to crack down on Marseilles. On 3 June a large number of cities in the west and south were actually put on a danger list of 'hostile cities'; these included Marseilles, Toulon, Arles, Toulouse, Le Havre, Bordeaux, Nantes and Cherbourg. Their National Guard units were disbanded and martial law proclaimed. Davout ordered strong units of local federes, or popular militias, to be armed throughout the south to defend their lands, turning poachers into game keepers.
Having ended the immediate threat of civil war within France, Napoleon now sought a diplomatic path to avoid war. The foreign diplomatic corps had been caught out by Napoleon's sudden return and there were fears that he might hold them as hostages to prise an agreement out of the allies; however Napoleon instantly proffered them an olive branch with the immediate offer of passports if they wished to leave, in an attempt to allay their fears. However, his letters of peace to the crowned heads of Europe, intended to break the cohesion of the great alliance, failed dismally, with most of the letters being returned unopened. The letters had however immediately found their way into Le Moniteur to reassure the public at home that he was serious in his attempts to gain peace. Napoleon was a realist however, he knew that war was inevitable and was coming soon, but his problem was that the great majority of the French people did not want to hear this message.
It is estimated that about one million Frenchmen had died directly or indirectly during Napoleon's wars from a total population of thirty-one million; or put simply, approximately one in ten of all males of fighting age. Given that for every death two more were probably maimed for life, it soon becomes apparent that the effect on the French populace was not too dissimilar from that felt by the British public after World War One. Few families were lucky to escape personal loss. At the very least, they would receive back a shattered frame who would consequently struggle to support himself, let alone their aging family. France was war weary; long gone were the days of victory and glory, now the days were filled with hurt, pain and hunger.
Yet the paradox is that Napoleon seems to have returned on the crest of a wave, how is this possible?
The French army had suffered severe cutbacks under the government of Louis XVIII and these soldiers wholeheartedly embraced the return of their Emperor. There was a huge reserve of officers and soldiers who were either out of work following the massive reductions in the size of the army, or on extended home leave on reduced pay; they saw this as an opportunity to regain their lost status and saw Napoleon as the way to renewed glory. Part of the civilian population also welcomed his return with great joy and hope for the future; however it cannot be denied that the great majority of the civil population were far less eager to see his return.
Napoleon was acutely aware of this from a great number of reports he commissioned from his new ministers. Fouche, as Minister of Police, reported a massive increase in demonstrations, riots and general unrest throughout the country including attacks on army personnel, indeed France was close to anarchy. In previous times, Napoleon would have used his centralised government to swiftly eradicate such problems, but he now discovered that his carefully crafted systems were broken irrevocably.
Talleyrand-Cartoon, the man with Six heads. On account of him serving six different regimes, including Napoleon's at one point.
Only two days after arriving in Paris, Napoleon announced a number of populist measures. He ordered that all royalists were immediately banned from living within 90 miles of the Capital, warrants were issued for the arrest of 13 prominent royalists including Talleyrand, Marmont, La Rochefoucauld and Bourienne with the sequestration of all royalist property. This populist move had an undesired effect on the people of Paris, where fear of a return to the revolutionary bloodshed of 1792 reared its ugly head, causing near panic.
Napoleon also needed the Paris mob on his side as he had no wish to confront them. A number of jobs were created with the announcement of new public works, including 3,000 to construct a new market at Saint Germain and to repair the Louvre, 2,000 artisans to restore damaged weapons and 4,000 to construct defences along the heights of Montmartre; overnight 9,000 families in Paris had a new bread winner. This coupled with a number of festivals, theatre shows and constant military reviews re-established an air of vitality and self belief in Paris and secured his immediate power base.
This could not be replicated so easily beyond the capital where the great majority of prefects and mayors were either openly against or at best ambivalent to the new government and would clearly not support moves to increase the army or to raise significant new taxes. During the first week of April, Louis Carnot, the new Interior Minister, summarily dismissed no less than 61 of the 87 prefects who governed regional France. Having done so, replacing them proved extremely difficult, with few pushing themselves forward to take the posts which traditionally were keenly sought after, a clear and alarming sign of the times. On 20 April, Carnot rashly followed this up with the immediate sacking of every mayor of a town with a population of more than 5,000 inhabitants. The chaos following such an arbitrary measure forced Carnot to rescind the order ten days later and await the results of new elections. The ultimate futility of his measures was shown when the subsequent elections re-elected two thirds of the previous mayors, who, if previously likely to be ambivalent, now joined the ranks of the ill disposed towards the new regime, causing a serious escalation of civil disobedience. Orders for the National Guard and retired servicemen to be called out, army deserters to be hunted down and returned to their corps and drives to recruit new soldiers were at best patchily obeyed, many stalling or openly defying them, refusing to send any more young men to their deaths. This was a very serious problem for the Emperor and one which he did not have time to rectify and which severely hampered his efforts to increase the forces available to him for the inevitable fighting to come.
Whilst Caulaincourt, his new Foreign Minister sought vainly to appease the allies and seek for a diplomatic way forward, Napoleon inexorably moved France towards war.
No less than sixty-seven new articles were announced within the Acte Additionnel of 23 March which included the abolition of the slave trade for a second time (it had previously been abolished during the Revolution but reinstated later by Napoleon); and the end of press censorship. The removal of censorship was however a fallacy, as Fouche simply installed a man in the office of each newspaper to ensure less overt 'autocensorship'. A brand new paper was also launched, the Journal General de France, which was intended to provide a patriotic impetus to the masses.
Benjamin Constant had been persuaded to join the government to piece together a new constitution and a two tiered system was announced, a Chamber of Representatives, the members of which were to be voted for by electoral colleges, the members of these colleges being voted for by the people, and a Chamber of Hereditary Peers.
Napoleon at Champ-de-Mai 1815 (Paris)
Napoleon had already announced a great meeting of these new representatives at the Champ de Mai, which was to be postponed more than once and severely derided by most Parisians as empirical trumpery, had originally been set for 26 May but was eventually held on 1 June. It was designed as a huge theatrical announcement of the results of the national referendum on the Act Additionnel, but everyone knew that the rigged result would be overwhelmingly in favour just like all of Napoleon's previous votes. The event was spectacular and over two hundred thousand people watched the proceedings which lasted most of the day. Napoleon appeared in his white coronation robes which heightened further the aura of theatricality, bordering dangerously on pantomime. The results of the plebiscite, or referendum, was announced with an unsurprisingly impossible level of support, helped by the fact that the results from the eleven western and southern provinces which had been in revolt had apparently unfortunately all arrived too late to be counted!
The result and Napoleon's rallying speech, full of his usual grandiose rhetoric, was received with only polite applause by all but the huge delegation of representatives from the army who roared their support wildly. Up to this point the Champ de Mai had clearly misfired as a spectacle and even Napoleon, according to some witnesses, looked troubled by the poor reaction. However, the great meeting was saved by the magnificent scenes that followed as the army representatives received their new eagles, the rallying point for each regiment. The scenes of military pomp and the adulation of the soldiers for their warrior Emperor transformed the event into one of Homeric proportions. However, this finally made it clear to the French people and to the world at large, that the peaceful intentions so often proclaimed had been an act of 'smoke and mirrors', Napoleon was going to war.
Behind the scenes the Emperor had been driving his new ministers inexorably and relentlessly towards war preparations. He sent out a constant stream of tirades to speed up production of weapons, increase supplies, to recruit more soldiers and to strip everything else bare to enable his government to finance it all. His attention to detail in every matter was incredible and reminded everyone of the vigour he had shown fifteen years previously, he was like a man possessed again.
Three main supply depots were set up at Soissons, Laon and Avesnes with smaller ones at Meaux, Guise, Vitry, Langres, Metz and Strasbourg. These were designed to hold up to four months' supplies for the army, which would then avoid the necessity of the soldiery devastating the French countryside like a plague of locusts, further alienating the people. Contracts were re-negotiated and outstanding debts paid off giving contractors confidence that they would get paid and so the stores began to fill rapidly. Workshops were set up in and around Paris, in any suitable large building that could be found, to massively increase both the production of new muskets and to repair the thousands of unserviceable muskets lying in numerous armouries across the country. The production of musket balls was ramped up significantly and the production of uniforms required many new factories to be hurriedly set up. But whatever was produced was not enough, not quick enough; Napoleon was never satisfied and he continued to chide his ministers to produce more…. ever more. There was no doubt that the country was now on a war footing, but Napoleon continued to excuse all of this to the nation as defensive measures to save 'la patrie'.
Regiment La Tour d'Auvergne, consisted mainly of foreign nationals.
On arrival in Paris, Napoleon had found that the French army numbered a mere 200,000 men, which he immediately set to increase dramatically. Former soldiers were recalled to the eagles; according to his estimates this would produce 112,000 men, comprising 32,000 who had retired from the army on age, health or disability grounds and 85,000 deserters who had gone missing during the 1814 campaign. It was clear that many of the former would not be fit to serve in the field but could man fortresses, releasing line troops; whilst the latter were hardly going to flood to the army in a bid to gain pardon for their earlier crimes. A poor reaction from those affected, and a firm determination by many mayors to ignore the orders, as many refused to send any more young men to their deaths, led to a very poor response to the call. In desperation large mobile columns of up to one hundred men were sent out, in effect, large press gangs taking anyone of serviceable age; but in reality only about 52,000 were actually raised by these measures, and most of these were extremely reluctant recruits. Napoleon was also unfortunately forced to disband the Regiment La Tour d'Auvergne because of their loyalty to the Duc d'Angouleme and the Swiss regiments as they refused to wear the national cockade, further reducing his available forces.
Horses were also an acute problem, partly solved by taking those of the gendarmes and giving them 600 francs each to replace them, thus providing 4,250 trained horses overnight.
Napoleon ordered the formation of a number of armies and corps of observation; the main army was clearly the 'Army of the North' consisting of five corps (numbers I to IV and VI), the reserve cavalry corps under Grouchy and the Imperial Guard under Marshal Mortier. The Amy of the Rhine under General Rapp consisted of V Corps; the Army of the Alps under Marshal Suchet consisting of VII Corps based at Lyons. The 1st Corps of Observation, or Army of the Jura commanded by General Lecourbe, was based at Belfort to watch the Swiss and Austrian armies in this sector. The 2nd Corps of Observation, the Army of the Var, under Marshal Brune was at Lyon. Two other smaller corps under General Clausel at Toulouse and General Decaen at Bordeaux watched the Pyrenees.
Davout's recruitment problems were exacerbated by the Emperor's insistence that only veteran troops were sent to the field, particularly to the Army of the North. Carnot also envisaged eventually forming a National Guard of over 2½ million men; but the first draft ordered out, which should have raised 234,000 second line troops to relieve any first line troops manning the static defences, only raised around 90,000. By June, when the fighting commenced in earnest, of the 446,000 called out, only 142,000 were actually in place.
In desperation, no stone was left unturned in the hunt for troops. Fourteen thousand gendarmes and twelve thousand customs officers were suddenly transferred to the army and six thousand volunteers all helped to plug the great void, but still all of this effort was not enough.
Great defensive works were also ordered to be built; a forty-five mile defensive perimeter was planned for Paris and construction started immediately, with many hundreds of naval guns being brought from the coast to be placed in the redoubts, but in early June much more effort was still required to complete these works and hundreds of these cannon were still on their transport barges. Over 150,000 troops could be utilised for the defence of Paris, but this number consisted almost entirely of inexperienced National Guardsmen. Although thousands of naval gunners had been sent to the capital, there were still insufficient numbers to man all of the guns and the students of the Ecole Polytechnique and the Military Academy were trained as gunners to fill the gap.
Much was achieved in a short time, but this was not, as it is so often portrayed, a 'National effort'. It cannot for example be compared to the Russian effort in the Second World War. Napoleon strained every nerve to extract the maximum effort from the French nation. But support for the new regime was far from universal and it often only received a patchy response to its commands. What was achieved was truly remarkable, but nothing like what Napoleon wanted or had ordained.
Many feel that Napoleon's fate was already sealed, but was it? If he had succeeded in his plan, is it not conceivable that his father in law, the Emperor of Austria, might come to terms, leaving the Russians isolated and far from home. Is it completely impossible that a treaty would be signed allowing Napoleon to stay on the throne?

When the free-to-download title Pokémon Quest was launched on mobile at the end of June, it generated $3 million in revenue in its first week, with a total of 3.5 million downloads.
It's now been a month since the game's release and Sensor Tower is reporting players have spent more than $8 million on the mobile title during this period. The largest source of revenue is from players in Japan, who make up 34 percent of spending in total. The US places second at 24 percent and interestingly South Korea has contributed an additional 12 percent.
According to Sensor Tower, the majority of revenue has come from iOS players - making up "66 percent of spending versus Google Play's 44 percent". Spending has slowed overall since the launch of the game, with daily gross revenue coming in at around $30,000 on both mobile platforms. The best day for the game on mobile was apparently on 30th June - grossing more than $580,000. The download total is now around the 8 million mark.
Have you made a monetary transaction in Pokémon Quest on mobile? Are you playing the Switch version? Tell us below.
Well, full honesty? I fully expected numbers to drop off quickly. There is no recurring charges. You just buy it and then you're done. But eight million dollars is nothing to scoff at. And I actually appreciate this "You buy it and you have it" mentality over the loot box craze the world has recently been in.
This would be impressive for an original IP, but this is Pokémon! Nintendo and Game Freak need to stick to consoles, instead of making lackluster mobile games.
At best, this game is on track to make a bit more money than Mario Run, which was a historic underperformer for Nintendo.
Pokemon Quest is no Pokemon Go. Not even in the same stratosphere.
Pokemon Go is awful. (Doesn't mean I didn't get addicted for a few months though) Pokemon Quest was just weird though. I played until the first time I ran out of time and then it reminded me very quickly that it was a mobile game designed to get me to spend money on things that I'd get bored of very quickly.
With Mario Kart Tour incoming, there is no chance Nintendo will abandon the mobile gaming market anytime soon.
Gamefreak is a different story though, as they are a fairly small studio (relatively speaking) who is currently working on Let's Go and Pokemon Gen 8 2019 (and possibly even beginning pre-production on a Diamond/Pearl remake for 2020). Given that Pokemon Quest isn't anywhere close to being a huge success, I doubt they'll be making many mobile games for a while.
@Equinox I don't see the problem with expanding your brand awareness through movies and themeparks. A movie based on a game doesn't make it automatically garbage,the lego movie is based on a toy and the whole Pirates of the Caribbean franchise on an attraction. You just need a good story and set of characters, and Mario already has the second one.
iOS responsible for 64%, Android for 44%? Um, the maths doesn't quite add up there! Glad to see Nintendo finding further sources of revenue - it all feeds into the bottom line and raises the possibility of loss-leading vanity projects! We want more titles like Zelda BotW and Metroid Prime 4, which have enormous development costs compared with some other first-party titles.
As for the game itself, never played it and am unlikely to start now. That voxel art style was cute when it broke through with the likes of Crossy Road, but it's become a mobile cliche since. I'll wait for the real Pokemon - but more power to Quest's elbow anyway.
@Equinox Well they are on top of their themepark games. In the end it looks like Universal is building a remarkable piece of themepark history. Nintendo wouldn't be able to build this on its own. But anyway that wasn't the topic. Its not either A or B to succeed, Nintendo wants both of them to succeed.
Guess people with play anything that's Pokémon. I thought this game was awful. Can't describe it any other way. On the other hand, my 6 year old has sunk a ton of hours into on his Switch & iPad.
@westman98 It seems like outsourcing to cygames or DeNA (like with Mario Kart Tour) would be a better strategy for Nintendo and its partners with mobile games.
DeNA handles the networking for Nintendo's mobile games. The core of Nintendo's own mobile games are developed by the studios who develop the mainline entries (Super Mario Run, Animal Crossing Pocket Camp, and Mario Kart Tour was/is being developed by Nintendo EPD; Fire Emblem Heroes was developed by Intelligent Systems).
But Nintendo publishes mobile games so infrequently (1-2 releases per year) that I find the thoughts of "Nintendo focusing too much on mobile" to be concern trolling rather than actual concern.
@westman98 What I've read is that Mario Kart Tour is being jointly developed by DeNA and Nintendo and it sounds to me like DeNA will be carrying more of the weight. It wouldn't be the first time for an external developer to develop a Mario Kart game.
This is not meant to be a continuation or replacement of the Rumble line.
Though I wouldn't be against the idea of using this graphic style in the next Rumble game.

By the Book: Dallas City Code Actually Has a Section Dealing With Ice, Snow Removal
Robert Wilonsky | February 3, 2011 | 2:21pm
Speaking of slickery downtown sidewalks and the city's response to 'em ...
A good Friend of Unfair Park directs our attention to Chapter 43, Sections 43-96 through Sections 43-98.2 of the Dallas City Code -- the sections dealing specifically with snow and ice. Turns out, the city has copious ordinances dealing with the removal of ice from sidewalks. Like, say, Ordinances Nos. 3314 and 19398, which, when combined, say that ...
(a) Every owner, lessee, tenant, occupant or other person having charge of any building or lot abutting upon any public way or public place shall remove the snow and ice from the sidewalk in front of the building or lot.
(b) Snow and ice which falls or accumulates before 4:00 p.m. during any day, except Sunday, shall be removed within three hours after the snow or ice has fallen or accumulated. Snow and ice which falls or accumulates on a Sunday or after 4:00 p.m. and during the night on any other day shall be removed before 10:00 a.m. the following day.
And, says the code, if the ice is too thick to remove, then it should be "strewn with ashes, sand, sawdust or other similar suitable material." And if none of that gets done, there will be penalties -- though, of course, the ordinance isn't very specific on that front.
Our Friend suggested we call Joey Zapata, head of code compliance, and see if his department's actually enforcing the ordinances.
"I don't know offhand," Zapata tells Unfair Park. "Certainly, the weather has impacted our ability to respond, and mostly we respond on a complaint basis. We don't patrol for violations, but do find them when we're en route to investigate a complaint." Zapata says he'll check to see if there have been any complaints. Well, phoned-in complaints, anyway.
Update at 3:10 p.m.: Zapata called back. "I checked our system," he said, "and we have not had any iced-over sidewalk complaints in the last three days."


Return to Zero - Return to Zero is the first FILM of it's kind based on the true story of a successful couple who are preparing for the arrival of their first child. Just weeks before their due date they are devastated to discover that their baby son has died in the womb and will be stillborn. This movie is more than loss, it is about love, hope and the perseverance of the human spirit. You will feel connected, understood and laugh nearly as much as you will cry.

Q: Installed Tornado and Python but Apache is still handling .py files How do I get Tornado (or in general another server) to handle the .py files on my host, while Apache still handles the php files?

A: I've always configured my python scripts inside apache with mod_wsgi. I believe there's no way to relegate to a different server the execution of some domain/filetype. Still, you can make a script to execute whenever an url is called.
You can do it in python an call it with mod_wsgi -> wsgi docs

A: You can use mod_wsgi and Tornado's WSGI handler, if you don't mind losing the asynchronous features of Tornado, or you can run your Tornado app and proxy to it with Apache. In either case you probably don't want each Python file to be executed individually, the way PHP files often are.
As to in general another server, that's pretty broad, but if it's a Python app it probably implements WSGI, otherwise you'll need to proxy to it.

A: So you have Apache as the web head and Tornado running behind it? Why not just use ProxyPass from port 80 to whatever port Tornado is running on.
You can't get Tornado to serve the .py files like PHP can do with .php files.


I like to build one,10 meter version.
I have to say that i have learned more for your website than all the rest put together.
I have got the nephews stealing your ideas on antennas and mods now. the gf is almost there.
Can i ask you for an idea to build a 6m/4m vertical antenna? saves me using 2 antennas and a AB switch.

Woolly Hat Day with The Mission to Seafarers
As you may know we've recently started working with The Mission to Seafarers – a wonderful charity caring for sailors around the world, providing a wide range of support from trauma counselling to simply helping them stay in touch with their families when out at sea.
This year we are donating £1 from every bottle of Old Pulteney 12 Year Old sold in the UK to The Mission to Seafarers. We're hoping to raise £30,000 for this great cause. You can read more about our partnership here. And the fundraising doesn't stop there.
The Mission to Seafarers has just announced their latest initiative, the Woolly Hat Day. Woolly hats not only keep seafarers warm. They serve as a symbol of the vital service the charity provides. Hats knitted by volunteers around the world are handed out to sailors at support centres and during ship visits. But even if you can't knit (it's never been our strongest point either) you can still get involved by taking part in the campaign on social media or even donating a small amount to the Mission.
You will find more details, including how to get involved, on The Mission to Seafarers website. We hope that, like us, you think this is a worthy cause.
