Home Research > Members > 1558-1603 > NORRIS, John (c.1550-Dec.1612 or Jan.1613)
NORRIS, John (c.1550-Dec. 1612 or Jan. 1613), of Fifield and Bray, Berks. and Woodwicks, Herts.
b. c.1550, 1st s. of William Norris† by Mary, da. of Sir Adrian Fortescue of Shirburn, Oxon. m. Mary, da. of George Basford of Rickmansworth, Herts., wid. of Roger Colte (d.1575), 1s. d.v.p. 1da. suc. fa. 1591. Kntd. 1601.1
Comptroller of works, Windsor castle 16 Apr. 1591; woodward of Cookham and Bray, keeper of Cranborne lodge in Windsor forest, ?1596; j.p.q. Berks. from c.1592, sheriff 1601-2.2
John Norris of Fifield (not to be confused with 'General' Sir John Norris of the Rycote branch of the family) was the son of an official of the Household and burgess for Windsor in three Marian Parlaiments. He inherited his father's job as comptroller of the works at Windsor and was returned to Parliament for the borough, leaving no trace on the known surviving records of his two Parliaments.3
In July 1600 Norris's daughter and sole surviving child, already a rich widow, married (Sir) Edward Norris, then aged about 50, the only surviving son of Lord Norris of Rycote. Sir Edward evidently hoped to found a new line upon the reunion of two branches of the family, but he died childless in October 1603. The scheme had its advantages for John Norris. He was knighted at Englefield when the Queen dined there in September 1601, and some did 'much marvel' that Sir Edward Norris 'would be the means to make such a Sir John Norris'. He attempted to arbitrate in the disputes between Sir Edward and the now Lord Norris.4
His daughter married, as her third husband, Thomas Erskine, 1st Viscount of Fentoun. Norris's nuncupative will, registered in 1616, declares that in December 1612, in his last illness, he called his daughter to him and said "All is thine, Bess ... be good to your tenants that they may bid you good morrow with a cheerful heart'; no executors are mentioned, and Lady Fentoun was granted letters of administration. According to John Chamberlain, writing in January 1613, however, Norris appointed Sir Henry Neville* and Sir William Bowyer his executors, but 'his daughter ... hath put herself in possession and means to carry it away by strong hand'. The matter caused a dispute between Neville and Lady Fentoun, in which the latter, 'ver violent', complained to the King.5

GeekBomb: The Enduring Legacy of Point Break
Posted on Wednesday, February 18th, 2009 by Kevin Kelly
It's been 18 years since Point Break premiered, which is hard enough to believe in itself, but what's even stranger is the staying power this movie has. In fact, just this past weekend, two of my friends went to go see Point Break Live! in Los Angeles, which is a comedic take on the film, complete with the actors hauling an unsuspecting guest from the audience to play the part Keanu's Agent Johnny Utah. It helps that they're fairly clueless and have to read their lines from cue cards.
When I interviewed director Kathryn Bigelow last year in Toronto for her new film The Hurt Locker, I asked her about the legacy of Point Break. She said, "I don't know if it surprises me but… it's very surreal. The permutations of once something has left your hands and enters the zeitgeist and how malleable it really is." But why exactly does this movie keep popping up on the radar? Why Point Break Live! and not Reservoir Dogs Live! (note: do not steal my idea, that is going to totally be a cash cow for me) In today's GeekBomb we find out everything about Point Break that you wanted to know, and then some.
Interestingly enough, Point Break first began life as Johnny Utah, and was kicking around Hollywood until it landed at Columbia Pictures. It was originally going to be directed by Ridley Scott, and would have starred Matthew Broderick and Charlie Sheen. From the Los Angeles Times on August 14th, 1988: "Johnny Utah is back on the boards at Columbia with Matthew Broderick. The thriller concerns an undercover cop looking for a killer among the surf set. Charlie Sheen was set to star for director Ridley Scott, but now producers Robert Levy and Peter Abrams are casting about for a new helmer… " Can you imagine what that would have been like? It would have been Sheen just coming off of Men at Work and The Rookie, and Broderick in Glory and The Freshman. Although it sounds pretty much like a cinematic trainwreck, I would have enjoyed seeing what Scott could have done with those two actors.
Point Break / Johnny Utah was screenwriter Peter Iliff's first script, although it wasn't the first movie that was made based on one of his works. That honor goes to 1990's Prayer of the Rollerboys, starring Corey Haim and Patricia Arquette. I swear I didn't make this up. While it also sounds like a trainwreck and features the tagline: "In the 21st Century, it's gonna take one man and his blades to save the world from another man…and HIS blades" which is yes, referring to rollerblades, it's also about someone going undercover to help the cops keep tabs on a group of baddies. That's the same theme explored in Point Break, which Iliff shares story credit for with Rick King, who directed Prayer of the Rollerboys. Maybe Iliff just rehashed his Johnny Utah idea and cycled it into the Corey Haim vehicle, as scary as that is to consider.
"Little hand says it's time to rock and roll."
Producers Peter Abrams and Robert Levy ended up turning to director Kathryn Bigelow, who had just finished filming her Jamie Lee Curtis thriller Blue Steel. It probably didn't hurt that she was married to executive producer James Cameron, either. In fact, the first week that Point Break opened, it was only number eight at the box office, with Cameron's T2 taking the top spot in it's second week of release. However, it would go on to gross $83 million dollars worldwide, while achieving cult status, proving that'd she done something right. Bigelow was an interesting choice as director, as Blue Steel was a psychological thriller and her previous movie Near Dark was a vampire horror flick. Which is actually well worth watching if you haven't seen it, as it stars a young Adrian Pasdar (of Nathan Petrelli / Heroes fame) along with Bill Paxton and Lance Henriksen. However, she hadn't directed a large-scale action film.
By the time Bigelow was onboard they had already attached Keanu Reeves, and Patrick Swayze came along shortly after that. The film name was briefly changed to Riders on the Storm, before eventually being named Point Break halfway through filming. Bigelow decided to film very ambitious stunt sequences, which are part of the lasting appeal of the movie, and helped to break the invisible barrier that said female directors were not action directors. The skydiving sequence alone is probably one of the most memorable moments from the movie, apart from Utah's gun firing into the air "Aaaaaaaaaargh!" scene. Bigelow also focused on the friendship between Reeves' Utah and Swayze's Bodhi, often pushing it far into the homoerotic realm. In fact, Swayze himself said he "wanted to play it like a love story between two men." You'd be hard pressed to deny that the film doesn't this out, from Reeves and Swayze clasping hands while skydiving together, or from the moment where Reeves lets Swayze go, gazing into the eyes of a man he's come to love on some level.
It's this pairing of Swayze and Reeves that ultimately drives the movie, and it had such a lasting impact that it's also a model for Hot Fuzz, to which pays a lot of homage. Fuzz director Edgar Wright has admitted that Point Break is one of his favorite movies, and Nick Frost's PC Danny Butterman is obsessed with the film in the movie. He even apes the "Aaaaaaaaaargh!" scene perfectly, finally fulfilling one of his fantasies. Hot Fuzz definitely helped boost a resurgence in Point Break appeal, even though Point Break Live! had begun appearing in 2006, a year before Hot Fuzz came out. Fuzz brought Break back to the level of classic actions films, while underscoring the homoerotic undertones between Swayze and Reeves, which were mirrored by Frost and Pegg's characters. If you've seen Fuzz, then I'm probably preaching to the choir, but it you by chance haven't seen this, then you need to stop reading right now and go out there and get it. You'll thank me later.
Fuzz may have also been one of the inspirations behind the sequel for Point Break, which is supposedly currently in the works. Point Break 2, or Point Break Indo, is set to follow the further adventures of Bodhi as he hides out from the law in Singapore, and will be directed by Jan de Bont of Speed and Twister fame. Does that mean we'll see Swayze and Reeves again? It's hard to say. de Bont worked on Speed with Reeves, and it's not impossible to think that he could lure him back, but given Swayze's health problems it's hard to imagine this film going forward. It was announced back in 2007, on the heels of Hot Fuzz, but nothing much has been head about it since. Screenwriter Peter Iliff said "I would like to return to Point Break because it represents my career coming full circle." It's set 20 years after the original, and features Bodhi training a new protege, yet another infiltrating undercover agent, this time trying to track a gang of criminals known as The Bush Administration, who operate similarly to the way the Ex-Presidents did. My bet is that this movie will only happen if someone else plays Bodhi, or if his role is scaled way back. But given the silence on this sequel since it was announced, it's probably not going to happen.
A "Point Break" is a surfing term defined as, "A wave sailing location where the waves are breaking along the side of a point (of sand, rock, a headland, etc), creating perfect peeling wave conditions."
I found a hilarious quote about Keanu Reeves while researching this GeekBomb. FBI Special Agent William J. Rehder wrote a book, along with crime reporter Gordon Dillow, called Where The Money Is. It's all about bank robberies in Los Angeles, and the criminals behind them.
"Before Point Break was filmed, I was told by the Special Agent in Charge to take Keanu Reeves, a pleasant but somewhat spacey young man, under my wing and give him some points on how to portay an FBI agent chasing bank robbers. Unfortunately, none of those pointers came within a million miles of the finished film."
"Agent Johnny Utah" is the name of an outsourcing technique used by Best Buy's Geek Squad when things get too busy. According to the paperwork, explaining how this works: "Black Ops Specialists at Mission Control will work in tandem with local Geek Squad Precincts to service computers remotely at the Precinct."
A year ago, La-La Land Records put out the entire Point Break theatrical score by Mark Isham for the first time. While only 2,000 copies were made, you can still pick one up at their website for $19.98. Excerpts from the soundtrack are available to listen to on the same page, including the opening.
This remains Bigelow's highest-grossing film. Even the Harrison Ford / Liam Neeson thriller K19: The Widowmaker only grossed $65 million worldwide, $15 million less than Break.
The name Bodhi is the Sanskrit word for "enlightenment"or "awakening."
The word "fuck" is said 105 times in this movie, which is still minuscule compared to Scarface's 226.
Former Mystery Science Theater star Mike Nelson and others provide a most excellent RiffTrax for this movie. If you haven't experienced RiffTrax yet, it's high time you did.
If you're in the Los Angeles area, you can get Point Break Live! tickets here. I've already purchased my tickets, because you just can't ignore something this strange and awesome.
Further Reading and Watching
If you want to find out more about Point Break and director Kathryn Bigelow, I highly recommend the following books:
Feminist Hollywood, by Christina Lane. While it's a bit dated (published in 2000), this book focuses on a group of female filmmakers, and talks about their influence inside and outside the system.
The Cinema of Kathryn Bigelow, by Deborah Jermyn and Sean Redmond. This is a look at Bigelow's history and her other films, and provides a really comprehensive breakdown on each.
Point Break: Pure Adrenaline Edition: only $9.99 on Amazon! You can't go wrong with that, unless you really want to go all out and pick up the Blu-ray edition for $26.99.
Point Break: Music from the Motion Picture: This is the other soundtrack album that came out when the movie was in theaters, and features tracks from other artists that were used in the movie. It doesn't feature any of Isham's score, just other tunes featured in the flick.

Now as_double("045.000W") returns 45, but as_double("045.000E") returns 45000.
Forgot to tell that this is for boost 1.61.0.
you need better backup to claim bugs.
I could not make Nabble quote your post, so you get a reply without quoting.
First, obviously the code-snippet provided was not supposed to be a self-containing compilable program, just a way to convey an idea. In creating the snippet I misnamed a variable, but I believe anyone would have understood the idea anyway.
Secondly, your code compiles perfectly on my system, but the result is different. For "045.000W" it prints 45, for "045.000E" it prints 45000. I do not understand the difference. On Coliru I get the same result.
On Coliru I get the same result.
I'm really unsure why you choose not to link that coliru, or say what platform/compiler it fails on.
next part of my grammar), but I did not expect "045.000" to become 45000.
If you want to specify a parser that /does not/ expect an exponent part, then you **must** specify so. Use a custom real_parser policy.
then you **must** specify so. Use a custom real_parser policy.
This is not correct. The exponent should be parsed only if it is a valid exponent and "E" is not a valid exponent as it is not followed by an integral number. At least this is my understanding based on the documentation and the comments in the code. Also, if it was indeed the case, the parser should fail and not return 45000, still exposing an error. Your example on Coliru does not check the validity of the double - it is the eoi and not the double parser, that fails.
Anyway this discussion is moot as the bug-report I filed on boost has been accepted and apparently already corrected in the develop branch.
>> then you **must** specify so. Use a custom real_parser policy.

> accepted and apparently already corrected in the develop branch.
FWIW this is fixed now in develop.
I know. Can I use the space here to thank you for a wonderful library. Considering its C++98 heritage, I believe that Spirit and qi are fantastic libraries and I look forward to the day where I can use X3 with Visual Studio. Saying this, I really would love to have an update to the documentation, giving more detailed information with respect to e.g. attribute and error handling. One of the problems I am going to deal with now is how to get good error-messages.

On January 20, 2015, President Obama delivered his State of the Union address: an annual report on the condition of our country. Overall, the President concluded, while it is still "a hard time for many," "the shadow of crisis has passed, and the State of the Union is strong." In keeping with the spirit of looking back with an eye toward the future, digital currency news site CoinDesk recently released its State of Bitcoin 2015 report, featuring a 2014 year in review. Calling 2014 a " 'tale of two bitcoins,' " the report finds that while the price of bitcoin declined during the past year, significant venture capital investment and wider adoption led to a growing digital currency ecosystem. Early signs suggest that 2015 will bring even greater mainstream infrastructure, investment and adoption. Thus, although the "shadow of crisis" may not have passed, from the looks of the past year, the state of bitcoin is stronger.

Piece of Cake: What's Behind Supreme Court Opinions?
Anti-Discrimination, Concurrence, Dissent, Freedom of Religion, Freedom of Speech, Masterpiece Cakeshop, Opinions, Same-Sex Marriage, Supreme Court,
On June 4, 2018 the United States Supreme Court issued a decision in the controversial case, Masterpiece Cakeshop, Ltd. v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission. The case concerned a baker, Mr. Jack Phillips, a devout Christian, who in 2012 declined to create a wedding cake for a same-sex wedding on the basis that doing so would require him to express himself artistically in a way that was inconsistent with his religious beliefs. At the time, gay marriage was not legally recognized in Colorado. However, the state had an anti-discrimination act regarding goods and services available to the public. See C.R.S. 24-34-601. The Commission determined that Mr. Phillips violated the anti-discrimination act. On review, the Supreme Court held that the Commission violated the First Amendment's Free Exercise Clause by egregiously treating Mr. Phillips' case with hostility towards his religious beliefs. The Free Exercise Clause requires that states not base regulations and laws on hostility towards a religious belief, but that they remain neutral. The Supreme Court reversed the lower court's decision stating that Mr. Phillips had been "entitled to a neutral decision-maker who would give full and fair consideration to his religious objection as he sought to assert it . . . " Masterpiece Cakeshop, Ltd. v. Colo. Civil Rights Comm'n, 201 L.Ed.2d 35, 46 (U.S. 2018).
Jack designing cake
Critical to the effect of this decision on similar future cases is that the Court did not decide for the states the limits and boundaries between anti-discrimination and freedom of speech. Rather, the Court narrowly held that these disputes "must be resolved with tolerance, without undue disrespect to sincere religious beliefs . . . " while avoiding "subjecting gay persons to indignities when they seek goods and services in an open market." Id. at 50. In other words, the Supreme Court simply held that state courts must be neutral decision-makers who faithfully uphold the entire Constitution.
Nevertheless, the case was not decided without much disagreement among the nine Supreme Court Justices, despite the final 7-2 decision. With three concurring opinions (one such written and joined by two of the four liberal Justices) and one dissenting opinion, it is no wonder why the case has caused such controversy. What might cause even more shock is that Justice Kennedy, who wrote the majority opinion, also wrote the 2015 landmark decision which legalized gay marriage nationwide. Because of the different opinions, this case becomes an effective model for answering the following questions. How do Supreme Court Justices decide who writes each opinion? Why do they write concurring and dissenting opinions? What precedential value do concurring and dissenting opinions have?
The Majority Opinion is Assigned by the Chief Justice
After oral arguments, the Justices convene in a conference to express how each of them would decide the case; the conference is followed by a vote. Once the votes have been counted, the Chief Justice assigns a Justice in the majority to write the opinion of the Court or does so himself. However, if the Chief Justice is not in the majority, the most senior Justice in the majority has the authority to assign writing the opinion of the court. In Masterpiece Cakeshop, Chief Justice Roberts was a part of the majority and assigned writing the opinion of the court to Justice Kennedy. They were joined by Justices Breyer, Alito, Kagan, and Gorsuch. Often, a Justice in the majority will agree with the outcome of the case, but not with the majority's reasoning for it. That Justice may write a concurring opinion, which can be joined by other Justices. Here, Justice Kagan filed a concurring opinion in which Justice Breyer joined. Justice Gorsuch filed another concurring opinion, joined by Justice Alito. Justice Thomas wrote an opinion concurring in the judgment, but only concurring in part as to the majority's rationale. Any Justice who disagrees with the majority judgment can write a separate dissenting opinion. Here Justice Ginsberg, who was joined by Justice Sotomayor, filed a dissenting opinion.
Often, the opinions reference each other, each Justice arguing their reasoning in comparison to another's. The following sections briefly describe the main points of each opinion and illustrate how the Justices agree and disagree with each other.
Majority Opinion:
Written by J. Kennedy; Joined by JJ. Roberts, Breyer, Alito, Kagan, Gorsuch
"While it is unexceptional that Colorado law can protect gay persons in acquiring products and services on the same terms and conditions as are offered to other members of the public, the law must be applied in a manner that is neutral toward religion." Id. at 37. The commissioners made hostile comments about Mr. Phillips' faith, casting doubt on the fairness and impartiality of the Commission's adjudication of the case. Justice Kennedy compared this case to another where other bakers prevailed before the Commission despite refusing to create a cake for a client (because it depicted anti-gay messages, which the bakers opposed) while being willing to sell other products with a different message to the same customers. The cases are all too similar, he argues, and yet the Commission reached opposite decisions.
Concurrence:
Written by J. Kagan; Joined by J. Breyer
"[A] proper basis for distinguishing the cases was available—in fact, it was obvious." Id. at 50. The three bakers, Justice Kagan argues, would have denied making the anti-gay cake for any customer, regardless of his religious beliefs. However, Mr. Phillips would have created a wedding cake for an opposite-sex couple, but refused to create one for the same-sex couple. Nevertheless the commission made their decision with hostility and bias.
Written by J. Gorsuch; Joined by J. Alito
Pushing back against the Kagan and Ginsberg opinions, Justice Gorsuch argues that the different bakers' cases were legally almost identical and should have resulted in the same determinations. He argues that the Commission treated them differently because they deemed Mr. Phillips' beliefs offensive. The courts should not be deciding what is offensive. "[T]he place of secular officials isn't to sit in judgment of religious beliefs, but only to protect their free exercise. Just as it is the 'proudest boast of our free speech jurisprudence' that we protect speech that we hate, it must be the proudest boast of our free exercise jurisprudence that we protect religious beliefs that we find offensive." Id. at 55.
Written by J. Thomas; Joined by J. Gorsuch
Justice Thomas addresses the freedom of speech argument that Mr. Phillips made. He believes creating a custom wedding cake for a couple is "expressive conduct" and should therefore be protected by the First Amendment. "States cannot punish protected speech because some group finds it offensive, hurtful, stigmatic, unreasonable, or undignified." Id at 65.
Written by J. Ginsberg; Joined by J. Sotomayor
Justice Ginsberg argues that neither the commissioners' statements about religion nor the commission's prior treatment of other bakers amounts to hostility towards religion. The Court's decision is therefore unjustified. She argues that the other bakers refused to make an offensive cake because of the cake itself, but that Mr. Phillips refused to bake the wedding cake because of their sexual orientation.
Precedential Value of Concurring and Dissenting Opinions
While lower courts must follow the Supreme Court's majority opinion (under stare decisis), there are times when a concurring opinion, and even a dissenting opinion, can influence future decisions and the development of law. Overtime, the view of the courts might therefore shift drastically.
As for the Masterpiece Cakeshop case, it will take careful consideration by lower courts of the decision as they apply it to similar cases. Courts will need to balance applying the law in a manner that is neutral towards religion while protecting people from discrimination.
1 Comment on "Piece of Cake: What's Behind Supreme Court Opinions?"
The case of Masterpiece Cakeshop, Ltd. v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission centers on two issues: first, the State's responsibility to protect a discrete and insular minority, or a group that lacks power in the political process and which should be protected, and second, the extent and variety of the rights granted by the First Amendment, including freedoms of speech and religion. While, as the author notes, the Court did not decide on the boundary between anti-discrimination and freedom of speech, it is important to consider the implications and intersection of the rights of individuals in conjunction with their First Amendment… Read more »


This first sentence either attracts the reader or instantly repels them. Why do we need to read about war? Here is the first hurdle to overcome with this book. It may have originally been written about war however, thankfully, we no longer live in the times in which the book was written.
First, the book can be better understood if the reader inserts the conflict for the word war. Secondly there is little art involved. The main theme of this book is to avoid conflict but it also realises that at times conflict will be brought to you and when it is, the book then outlines ways to minimise the effect of this conflict.
The most important theme of the book is then addressed in the next paragraph. That is, your current life situation has been heavily influenced by the sum total of your decisions you have made so far. We make thousands of decisions every day, some big, others small. Our decision making process has evolved over time. What is presented in this book is a systematic way of going about making decisions, a way if worked on can improve this everyday act to deliver much better results with little extra effort. Answer this question, how confident are you in your current abilty to make decisions? Are you getting the outcomes you desire?
The next paragraph addresses five key areas of the decision making process all commanders should know. Take the next few minutes to imagine you are a commander. With this change in perspective, consider what of the next five areas you could or maybe should improve in.
3. The art of war, then, is governed by five constant factors, to be taken into account in one's deliberations, when seeking to determine the conditions obtaining in the field.
5, 6. The MORAL LAW causes the people to be in complete accord with their ruler, so that they will follow him regardless of their lives, undismayed by any danger.
Basically this paragraph refers to getting others to see things your way and act accordingly and willingly so. One can be ordered to do something but this does not infer you liking to do what you have been ordered to do, so there is not Morla Law. If someone you like or respect asks you to do something, you are more likely to do it willingly even if you initally did not want to do it. In the military and some professional fields, underlings are trained and are expected to follow orders, any order, evern those that make no sense or they don't want to follow. This is not Moral Law.
You don't sunbathe on a snow peaked mountain and you don't wear thermal underwear to the beach. You only harvest when the crop is ready to be harvested.
Not only does Earth mainly refer to what you can see, it also refers to understanding what it means. When you set out to drive to work, you have already calculated the distance, risk of traffic and road conditions and the chances of getting there accident free.
9. The COMMANDER stands for the virtues of wisdom, sincerity, benevolence, courage and strictness.
In essence it says who we are will show in the decisions we make. If we have a tendancy to be rash, then so will out decisions. If we can be less rash, then our decisions will be more considered and therefore the outcomes of our decisons should improve.
10. By METHOD AND DISCIPLINE are to be understood the marshalling of the army in its proper subdivisions, the graduations of rank among the officers, the maintenance of roads by which supplies may reach the army, and the control of military expenditure.
A place for everything and everything in it's place, this is a modern saying that will get you on the path to understanding this. Smart and successful companies hire the right person for the right job at the right time.
11. These five heads should be familiar to every general: he who knows them will be victorious; he who knows them not will fail.
Every successsful person understands these five heads whether they have read the Art of War or not.
12. Therefore, in your deliberations, when seeking to determine the military conditions, let them be made the basis of a comparison, in this wise: --the two sovereigns is imbued with the Moral law?
In other words, who has the greater ability to convince others that they are right or their decisons are the best or at least better? Is this the principle that our democracy is based upon? The rule of opinion over the rule of the gun?
Replace the word "generals" with words like bosses, co-workers, friends, commentators etc.... if you are choosing which movie to go see or which restaurant to dine at, who do you trust to make a better recommendation?
This sentence deals with the tangible and the intangible. What you can readily and see and what you can't.
Who follows through and who is all talk? Who is a proven achiever and who isn't?
Does the individual stand alone or do they have support from those around them?
Who is more knowledgeable and is that knowledge relevant to the current situation?
What's in it for me, seems to be an appropriate if not undesirable consideration.
This paragraph simply codifies what everyone does everyday, pass judgement on the decisions and actions of others we come into contact with, even strangers. There is an old formula that was taught to aspiring writers when writing novels. Deal with the five W's and the H. Who. What. When. Where. Why. How. Do you know what you are doing, why you are doing it, where and when should you do it and are you doing it the right way?
15. The general that hearkens to my counsel and acts upon it, will conquer: --let such a one be retained in command! The general that hearkens not to my counsel nor acts upon it, will suffer defeat: --let such a one be dismissed!
17. According as circumstances are favorable, one should modify one's plans.
The two sentences above simply state what most of us would take for as being the obvious. However what is obvious to one may be an awakening to another and a rather rude and shocking awakening at that.
The next six paragraphs give a taste of what is to covered in detail in the following chapters.
23. If he is taking his ease, give him no rest.
Calculations leads to decisions, if our calculations are flawed then our decisons are flawed. If our decisions are flawed then plans, strategy, tactics and everything we then do is flawed.
The key to understanding this chapter is to read it as if you were a commander. Don't worry about the army or group at your command at this stage. Commanders make decisions. The better the body of decisions the better the commander. You make decisions. The better the decisions you make the better off you will be. No matter who you are or what you do.

1901 Maidstone by-election
The 1901 Maidstone by-election was a by-election held in England on 1 March 1901 for the House of Commons constituency of Maidstone in Kent.
← 1900 1 March 1901 1906 →
Evans Milvain
Liberal Conservative
MP before election
Sir John Barker
Subsequent MP
Viscount Castlereagh
4 Aftermath
VacancyEdit
The by-election was caused by the declaration that the result of the contest in Maidstone at the general election of 1900 was void. This decision was made by Mr Justice Kennedy and Mr Justice Channel sitting at the sessions house in Maidstone on hearing an election petition from the defeated Conservative candidate, Fiennes Cornwallis who was Member of Parliament (MP) for Maidstone from 1885 to 1895 and then again from 1898 to 1900.[1] The judges held that there was evidence of bribery of electors by agents acting for Sir John Barker, the Liberal candidate who had won the seat from Cornwallis by 38 votes.[2]
CandidatesEdit
Cornwallis
On 15 February, the Liberals selected as their candidate Sir Francis Evans.[3] Evans had been Liberal MP for Southampton from 1888 to 1892 and 1896–1900. He was 60 years old and had made his career in banking before entering Parliament. He also had substantial interests in the insurance and transport industries.[4]
The Conservatives first hoped that Cornwallis might be persuaded to stand again,[5] but he did not wish to put his name forward and they chose instead Sir Thomas Milvain, KC, the former MP for Durham and a barrister, having been called to the bar at the Middle Temple in 1869.[6]
ResultEdit
The result was a win for Evans, returning him to Parliament.
Maidstone by-election, 1901[7]
±%
Liberal Francis Evans 2,375 52.1
Conservative Thomas Milvain 2,182 47.9
Liberal hold
The Liberal majority was increased from 38 votes to 193, despite the disgrace attaching to the election petition. The unseated Barker had also helped Evans in the campaign,[8] so it was difficult to discern any political advantage accruing to the Conservative Party as a result of the court case. One local historian has described the result of the Maidstone by-election as a harbinger of change.
AftermathEdit
The Conservative Party became increasingly divided over the issue of tariff reform and the Liberals gained heart from the decline of the government over the coming years. At the 1906 general election, the Liberals gained a national landslide. Evans held the seat until 1906 when he was defeated by Lord Castlereagh. Although Maidstone reverted to its traditional Tory roots against the national trend, the Liberals gained three other Kent seats, one fell to a Lib-Lab candidate and one fell to Labour thanks to the pact it had concluded with the Liberals in 1903.[9]

Chamillionaire Reveals He Has A 50/50 Deal With Universal, Talks Technology
Published on: Aug 5, 2010, 3:30 PM
by Jake Paine
Platinum rapper Chamillionaire recently spoke at the Social Currency CrunchUp at California's Stanford University. In a technology setting, the Houston veteran expounded on his existing fan-base, created through online services like Shoutcast.com, prior to his signing with Universal Records. By way of his base, Cham said that he has an extremely artist-friendly contract dating back to 2004 or 2005. "I have a profits-sharing deal with [Universal Records]. Most artists don't [have such a deal], most artists make pennies on the dollar. I don't make that. I make what the label makes," he revealed, before clarifying that he has 50/50 share in net profits.
The former partner of Paul Wall revealed that through his website Chamillionaire.com, and iTunes-topping performance of "Ridin' Dirty," he was able to secure this venture. "If I'm spending money, I want my money back just like [Universal does] if they're spending money. At the end of the day, I make what they make. That's not necessarily normal for an artist, but when I came into a major label, I had leverage." The rapper was asked if given the change of climate since his 2005 success would make him do things differently in hindsight. "To say that I would go back [and not sign with a major label], I can't say that…I have made millions and millions of dollars with Universal [and their] corporate structure," said Chamillionaire, who remains a Universal Republic artist, alongside Lil Jon and Distant Relatives.
Chamillionaire did speak candidly about the contract structure at the labels. "Because the industry's doing so bad right now, I think most contracts are designed for artists to fail," he said. Based on his generous contract, the rapper who says that he'recouped his Sound of Revenge and Ultimate Victory releases, admitted he checks Universal's accounting, "I audit them."
Almost three years removed from a proper release, Chamillionaire also stated that he's watched his label change for the worse. "Corporations are struggling. And for somebody like me, [Universal as a major label] just doesn't seem that major anymore," he said. "They should have been more aware of what's happening. That's why I come to tech conferences, so I can see what's next. They spend their money [on sending people] to the clubs right now, and I think they should be here." The rapper said he watched entire departments at labels dwindle to staffs of five, losing personnel that had a lot to do with his own success.
In the interview, Chamillionaire also speaks on his thoughts on rims, and which cell phones he uses, and why. Watch the whole interview on HipHopDX in the TechCrunchTV player here.

President Trump promised that his infrastructure plan will stimulate a $1.5 trillion of spending in new infrastructure over the next decade. However, PWBM applies the economic literature to predict that his plan will lead to about $20 billion to $230 billion spending. According to Mr. Trump, his plan will increase average annual economic growth by 0.1% to 0.2%, but PWBM suggests that his plan will not change the size of the economy. PWBM's analysis is also in harmony with other economists like Kevin DeGood, the director of infrastructure policy at the Center for American Progress, who agree that the plan lacks strong incentives.

Here we have Dirim Anyanwnu whose sister, Uche, is about to get married… to Dirim's ex-boyfriend! Dirim's mother, in the hopes of saving her daughter some pity looks from the extended family that were descending on the wedding convinces her daughter that she needs to have a date, if for no other reason than to quell sympathy looks and questions.
Dirim reluctantly agrees to take Chichi, her mother's best friend's son. She's so reluctant because they had met years earlier as teenagers and had not gotten along. Skip ahead to the wedding weekend and nerdy little Chichi is now hunky Dubem. The pair finds out that despite their previous dislike of each other as kids, they are now very attracted to each other.
And so ensues hilarity as Dubem and Dirim wade through the waters of crazy aunts, drunken parents sharing too much information, drama queen bride, former flames and falling in love.
Dirim's man leaves you wishing the story was a bit longer…

Excerpt from Dirim's Man
"Mother, I won't," Chidubem said firmly.
"I see." Two simple words. They didn't matter in and of themselves. It was the tone that was going to come back and bite him in the ass. He could feel the teeth already.
"We'll ignore the fact that Ujunwa Anyanwu is my best friend," his mother said, staring at him from across his desk.
They were in his office at the school premises. His mother had dropped by unexpectedly.
"We'll ignore the fact that Uju has asked for my help."
If only that were true, he thought, leaning back in his chair and rubbing his temple.
"You could do it for Dirim," his mother said. "She's such a nice girl."
Never words to make a single man's heart beat faster, he thought grimly. "Dirim and I don't get along."
Granted, it had been a lot of years ago, but he remembered that hot afternoon clearly. His mother had insisted he come along with her to her best friend's home. He'd agreed and regretted the decision the second Dirim had looked at him, then sighed with obvious disappointment.
Dirim had been optionated, only interested in the football match she was watching and obviously contemptuous of him. Sure, he'd been a nerd and awkward, and he'd never communicated well with others. But she'd been difficult and unfriendly. She'd also threatened to beat him up. At the time, she probably could have.
"Things could be different now," his mother said. "She's lovely."
"Uh-huh."
His mother straightened in her chair. Nenye Edozien was small, but he knew better than to judge her by her size."
"Do you remember nine years ago when I had breast cancer?" she asked.
He held his groan and nodded. Not this, he thought. Anything but this.
"You were in South Africa. I didn't want you to know how bad it was because I wanted you to focus on your studies."
"Mum – " he began.
She held up a hand. "When you came home, you were worried. I promised you I would get better." She paused expectantly.
"I said I would do anything if you would," he said dutifully.
"I kept my promise. Now it's time to keep yours. You're going to be Dirim's date for the wedding. You'll spend four days at her family house in Asaba, and you'll do everything to make Dirim feel special."
Chukwunna. Father God. Why couldn't he be like some of his friends and never talk to his parents? Why did he and his mother have to get along? Except for this obsession with Dirim Anyanwu, his mum was a great woman to have around. They'd always been able to talk and he respected her opinion. But right now he would give anything for a brief but meaningful estrangement.
"Mum," he began, then shook his head. It was four days. Surely he could survive that. "Fine. You win."
She smiled broadly. "Good. Imela. You have done well. Uju was there for me every day when I was sick. I'm so happy to finally be able to repay her, at least a little."
"You're selling out your only son. What will the neighbours think?"
"That it's about time you found yourself a wife."

WHEN Paula Gribben married Darren O'Hagan last October, the wedding was shoe-horned into the busy schedule of two elite sports stars.
Both were coming to the tail-end of a season that saw Paula captain the Down senior camogie team and Darren captain the senior football team that reached the Ulster final.
Three weeks after the wedding she played in Clonduff's Ulster club final defeat to Eglish.
"Yeah, my life has pretty much been centred around sport from I was no height. I played a lot of football when I was younger as well as camogie and loved every minute of it," she said.
The PE teacher had a fairly successful under-age career in both sports, winning an All-Ireland under 16 football title with Down and following that up with an All-Ireland Minor camogie medal, won in a final in Casement Park against Antrim.
At club level she holds county senior championship medals in both codes with Clonduff: "I really enjoyed both sports, but in the past few years Clonduff has focused more on camogie and the football has dropped back, although we are doing pretty well at under-age level at present.
"I was also coming to a point where I had too much on and was going to have to choose between the two anyway.
Things seemed to be continuing on a downward trend earlier this year, when after a poor league campaign they faced the prospect of Kildare in a relegation play-off with no manager in place.
"Martina Rooney came in as manager a couple of weeks before the Kildare game and all of a sudden the whole atmosphere seemed to change.
"Attendances at training shot up and girls had that hunger and drive to succeed again – in no small measure to Derek Dunne from Laois who travels for hours to coach us and his input has been invaluable.
Since that turnaround in April, Down are unbeaten.
They won the play-off to secure Division 2 camogie next season, then beat Armagh and Derry to win the Ulster senior title and have kick-started the All-Ireland series with a draw against Derry and a win in Carlow.
"Each one of those games were big games for us, in that we tried to build on the previous one and keep the momentum going.
"Winning Ulster was a big deal because Down hadn't done it in 13 years and none of us had a medal.
"To beat Derry took a big performance. But I think the championship game against them in Portaferry was an even better performance from us.
"We lost Sara Louise (Carr) to a hamstring injury early in the game, dropped half a dozen points behind and still got a draw out of it without scoring a goal.
Sarah Louise Carr has been back training and there would seem to be a full squad available for selection ahead of the visit of Cork to Páirc Esler (Saturday, 5pm).
"It is really a crunch game for both teams. Cork and Derry drew last week and that more or less means that whichever of us wins today, we should have a very good chance of reaching the semi-finals – along with Derry.
"The loser, I'm afraid will be gone for the season, with a game still to go.
"Cork looked unbeatable all year, but the result from Swatragh should motivate us. We are lucky that it is a home game and we don't have to travel to Cork.
Paula O'Hagan has her sights set on Croke Park in early September, while she is hoping that Clonduff can retain their championship title in Down and maybe go further: "At the moment I am out training or playing for maybe six of the seven evenings of the week.
Meanwhile she is running a couple of bootcamps over the summer in Clonduff Youth Club and is laying down plans on a new family home with Darren.
A busy schedule for a busy lady who wants her sporting summer to run and run.
Clare will work hard in this game, but are not scoring enough to trouble Kilkenny who should claim a knock-out place with this result.
Both teams will see a quarter-final spot disappear if they don't win today. Having put in good shifts in their two away games and with two home games left, Waterford look to be in a good place.
Limerick have a point on the board (a draw with Clare), but they were off the pace in the other games.
A non-event – top of the league against the bottom team. Perhaps an opportunity for Cork manager Paudie Murray to run his bench.
Dublin are in the running for a quarter-final spot, Wexford, who won four of their seven titles 2007-2012, are on a face-saving mission.
Tipperary seem a little off the pace this year, but they still carry a threat. They are coming off a fairly heavy defeat to Cork, but if they can lift themselves for this game, they should beat the visitors.
With just Carlow to play in their final game, Derry should make headway on the league table with this game. Laois took a 26 points hammering from Cork and were less than impressive in their 1-6 to 0-9 draw with Carlow.
Cork were flying in their opening two league games, accumulating a score difference of 53 points. No one expected the stall in Swatragh last Saturday. Was it the journey up? Did they take Derry for granted? Or did the home side get it right and step up to the mark on the day?
The answers to these questions will be of huge interest to the most improved team this season from league to championship. Unbeaten since their league play-off with Kildare, Down are playing with confidence.
However after Derry last week, Cork will be on their guard and know that defeat today will probably knock them out of the championship. A draw would see them probably top the group though.
July 7: Derry 0-11 Cork 0-11, Laois 1-6 Carlow 0-9.
It is Round 1 day in the Liberty Insurance Junior camogie championship and that means Armagh are taking the field for the first time since their Ulster semi-final defeat by Down at the end of May.
Derry should qualify for the semi-finals if they defeat Waterford in Clane. It should be a close enough game however and the Ulster team will need to be on their toes to keep that 100% record intact.
Down have been poor enough in their games so far and will struggle to get a result from their visit to Westmeath.
In the other section, the winner from Offaly v Laois will almost certainly claim a semi-final spot, while Meath and Kildare are fighting over the wooden spoon.
Round 1: Derry 1-10 Antrim 1-5, Down 0-3 Waterford 6-14, Armagh 3-7 Kildare 3-4, Laois 5-18 Meath 0-1.

Discipline is remembering what we want.
For some reason I have hardly ever been at a loss for knowing what I want. It shifts, and morphs, and re-balances to be sure, but like most of you probably, at any given moment, I am pretty adept at putting my finger on what it is that is going to ring my bell.
So maybe we know what we want, especially the older and wiser we grow. We could make lists about what we want in every little area of our life. From what we desire for dinner to the much bigger picture in life- like how we want our world to be. We could make notes about how we prefer to feel, how much stress we want in our life, how much downtime and together time we need. About what we want to do with our now precious time and who we want to hang with. Basically how we want to operate and maneuver, through the rest of our days.
And more importantly for me right now, how to create the connection and intimacy I crave.
Every day, actually, we make decisions about who we want to be.
So where is the disconnect between knowing what we want and then doing something that is totally not in line with what we want?
Ahh yes- we forget what we want. Sometimes just temporarily, but frequently, for way too long. Or, what we want seems so outlandish and outside the possibility of who we have always know ourselves to be, that we give up on what we want before we even try.
Or maybe it's that we get too tired or too hungry or too overwhelmed, or sick, or too exhausted from having someone else be sick, and we forget to listen to our internal compass. Life happens. Things get in the way. There are bills to pay, and fires to put out and mouths to feed.
Sometimes there are just too many flies buzzing around our head.
Well this I know- the only remedy for remembering what we want- is to slow down long enough, and get quiet enough, so that we can hear ourselves. For some people it's meditation, but for me I can pinpoint so many things in my life, and zero in my happiness, when I am out running, hiking, swimming laps and more recently, biking.
Gosh I wish I knew this when I was younger.
For more related reading, I've another post here.
Listen to our hearts. It's right here with each of us, waiting for us to put our hand on it and take care of it.
Oh yes- and one more thing. I love the magnificence of the photo above. Among other things, like the lighting, I love the peeling paint.
Belovodchenko Anton, you have outdone yourself.
Thanks for pedaling alongside me Cyn. You are such a huge inspiration to me.


"Jesus says: 'Blessed are the poor, the gentle, those who mourn, those who hunger and thirst for uprightness, the merciful, the pure in heart, the peacemakers, and those who are persecuted in the cause of uprightness' (Matthew 5:3-10). These words offer us a self-portrait of Jesus. Jesus is the Blessed One. And the face of the Blessed One shows poverty, gentleness, grief, hunger, and thirst for uprightness, mercy, purity of heart, a desire to make peace, and the signs of persecution. The whole message of the Gospel is this: Become like Jesus. We have his self-portrait. When we keep that in front of our eyes, we will soon learn what it means to follow Jesus and become like him." (Henri Nouwen) We, as disciples, are called to learn from the Master how to live and what to do. The Beatitudes both reflect the person and life of Jesus as well as a way of life to be embraced by us. They are sign posts on the path to greater holiness. Jesus freely chose to live this way of life. We are called to do the same.
