Hard enough being the daughter of the Iron Lady without having to eat live grubs, but her pluck could soon bring great rewards
Sat 26 Nov 2005 20.37 EST First published on Sat 26 Nov 2005 20.37 EST
Journalist and broadcaster Carol Thatcher displayed nerves of steel last week as she steered a jeep along a makeshift canopy bridge 100ft above the Australian jungle. Before she could finish her challenge on ITV's I'm a Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here!, the car had plunged off the track and she was left dangling in her harness. For once, those impossibly smug Geordie chipmunks, Ant and Dec, looked ashen. But the daughter of Baroness Thatcher simply brushed herself down and apologised for damaging the car. Later, she quipped: 'I should have brought my chauffeur.'
A superstar was born. The Daily Mail christened her the new Bridget Jones (in Bigger Pants). The People urged its readers to vote for her rather than nubile soap star, Kimberley Davies, while the Mirror ran the headline 'Vote Thatcher: I bet You Never Thought You'd Read That in the Mirror'. And yet 'Thatch', as she dubs herself, is an unlikely icon. Posh, the wrong side of 50, she spends most of her time on the slopes at Klosters.
But even her mother's fiercest detractors don't have a bad word to say about Carol, who has survived an Iron Lady for a mother, a father satirised as a gin-swilling, golf-playing buffoon and a twin brother who was recently placed under house arrest after he bankrolled an attempted coup in oil-rich Equatorial Guinea. Never mind embarking on one of the most hazardous careers available to the child of a Prime Minister - journalism.
'You need quite good shock absorbers and a sense of humour to be the Prime Minister's child,' Carol once wrote. Unsurprisingly, she didn't tell her mother she was going on the programme: 'She'll probably be very critical. It's not her sort of show, so I might just tell her I've done it when I get back.'
I'm a Celebrity..., the nation's favourite reality pantomime, is cast with meticulous care. Everyone has their appointed role - principal boy, blonde totty, villain, ugly older sister and so on. But like Janet Street-Porter and Christine Hamilton, who appeared in previous series, Thatch has proved you shouldn't underestimate the mature bird.
Carol is jaunty, decent, self-deprecating and, when she remembers to brush her hair, oddly sexy. 'I'm so delighted because it shows her at her very best,' says Linda McDougall, who produced Carol's 2002 documentary about her father, Married to Maggie, for Channel 4 'I love her to bits; she's one of the nicest, funniest people I've ever met. She looks truly happy in the jungle. She's spent an awful lot of her time travelling on her own, so you sense she's in her element.'
'She likes to be part of a community,' observes Lord Bell, former adviser to Margaret Thatcher and a family friend, 'that's why she's doing so well. She's being herself, not putting on an act like some of the contestants.'
A childhood regime of emotional neglect, boarding school and outdoor sports has certainly prepared Carol for the social and physical rigours of the jungle. But what's surprising is the way the public have taken her to their hearts, not least for exposing our bodily frailties. After a terrifying parachute jump into the camp, she was violently sick over herself and her tandem skydiver. She accidentally bared a very English bottom climbing into her camp bed. And then we had Lavatorygate. It was late, Carol was exhausted and in no mood to trek to the outdoor dunny, so she simply rolled out of her hammock and squatted on the floor.
It sparked humorous public debate, but one senses Carol will be mortified when she sees the footage. 'There are two people there,' says her close friend Gabrielle Crawford, wife of actor Michael Crawford. 'There's the gentle and insecure person, who, at times, has been a very lost soul, and then there's the jolly Carol you see at your front door.'
Carol and her twin, Mark, were delivered by Caesarean section in August 1953 while their father watched a Test match at the Oval. From the beginning, her brother was the favoured child. 'He was always more glamorous,' she says. 'In comparison, I was one-dimensional and dull.' He continued to eclipse her.
'I noticed that when Mark arrived in London to visit his parents, Carol, who is warm, witty and great fun, seemed to retreat into a shell,' says McDougall.
Hers was a lonely childhood. With a mother climbing the political ladder and a father busy running a business, the children were left to a nanny. As Carol recalls: 'My mother was prone to calling me by her secretaries' names and working through each of them until she got to Carol.'
When she was nine, with her mother MP for Finchley, Carol was packed off to boarding school, eventually arranging her own transfer to the prestigious St Paul's School. After graduating in law from University College, London, she moved to Sydney to work as a journalist. By 1975, her mother was Tory leader. Calls home weren't exactly intimate, she told one journalist: 'After a lengthy spiel from my mother on the phone, telling me all about another history-making week she'd had, my news from Australia of the latest barbecue, recent work assignments or the state of the surf at Bondi didn't cut much ice.'
In the mid-1980, she returned to London and worked on the Daily Telegraph under editor Bill Deedes: 'She's a very gutsy, independent reporter, very good on travel and adventure. And yet she was cut off by quite a bit of the press who wouldn't run anything with Carol Thatcher's byline.' She also had to tread a tightrope with colleagues. 'I always had to think, "How would this be made to look in Private Eye?" I had to hope my fellow journalists wouldn't turn me in for drinking 11 pina coladas on a press trip.' When she was sacked from the Telegraph by the incoming editor Max Hastings, it made front-page news. Later, she worked on TVAM and Radio 4's Loose Ends
'She was never quite sure whether journalists were being friendly with her to find out secrets or whether they were actually interested in her,' says Lord Bell. 'But I don't think she let it affect her. She's a very bubbly, straightforward person, much nearer to her mother in image than people realise.'
For years, Carol had a difficult personal life, including an affair with Jonathan Aitken. When he ended it, Lady Thatcher is said to have remarked that she would be damned if she was going to give a job to a man 'who made Carol cry'.
These days, she is linked to a Swiss ski instructor, Marco Grass, who is 14 years her junior. Soon after she met him in 1992, she joked: 'One day, I'm sure he will vanish off into the distance with someone younger and prettier.' Today, he is said to share her home in the Swiss resort of Klosters and a penthouse in London. Although the flat is desirably located, Carol rents it out (she doesn't have a fixed income) and has a portable building on the roof to stay in when she is in London.
Like her father, Carol is not a political animal, preferring a drink and a game of tennis to intense discussion. She has always laughed off claims that she would marry and have children with Grass, adding: 'I like being permanently single. It suits me perfectly.'
More recently, when her mother complained about her 'lost' family (Mark in South Africa, Carol in Switzerland), her daughter was less than sympathetic: 'A mother cannot reasonably expect her grown-up children to boomerang back, gushing cosiness and make up for lost time. Absentee Mum, then Gran in overdrive is not an equation that balances.'
In 1996, Carol published a biography of her father, Below the Parapet, an attempt to cast off the Private Eye conceit that clung to Denis. Hailed as frank, touching and funny, the book became a bestseller, although Mrs Thatcher never read it.
Her relationship with her father, a distant, if genial, figure in childhood, blossomed. Shortly before he died, she interviewed him for Married to Maggie. According to psychologist Dorothy Rowe, it revealed the key to the Thatcher marriage: 'There are husbands who accept being sidelined like Denis Thatcher. His relationship was with his daughter. In that interview between him and Carol, what came through was a wonderful father/daughter relationship. A lot of men wouldn't want to walk away from that.'
The documentary also contained one of the last TV interviews with Margaret Thatcher. Later, McDougall wrote about how the former PM had seemed forgetful and disoriented during filming. The Tory mafia turned on Carol. 'There are what I call the keepers of the icon,' she says. 'Their self-appointed job seems to be to keep the icon of Lady Thatcher going and it bears zero relationship to Carol's life or what's really happening to Lady Thatcher, or even to reality itself.'
It has taken years for Carol to emerge from under the shadow of Downing Street. It looked like she would end up as the family ghostwriter (in addition to Denis's memoir, she has published biographies of tennis players John and Chris Lloyd and the QE2).
But now, in her early fifties, she is striking out on her own. On the basis of her current performance in the jungle, she could even end up with her own chat show. Last Thursday's dinner party, where she and wine writer Jilly Goolden ate trays of live grubs, was magnificently surreal. 'It's the best thing I've seen on TV for years,' laughs McDougall. 'She's much, much more entertaining than her father ever was. She's a unique, clever person and nobody ever knew it.'
Nothing, it seems, fazes Thatch. When perma-tanned David Dickinson asked whether she had ever been married, she observed dryly: 'No, no, darling, I don't do extremes of behaviour.'

The extraordinary reaction of the ideological right-wing in the United States to the 20 minute comedy routine of the former Daily Show alumni, Michelle Wolf, at the White House Correspondents' Dinner has been something to behold. Rarely have I seen such contrived outrage, such toddler like tantrums by the devotees of Donald Trump and his administration. This rancorous encounter between CNN's Alisyn Camerota and the conservative commentator Matt Schlapp does a good job of illustrating the hypocrisy the president's defenders wrap themselves in whenever they step outside the safe-space provided by Fox News.

Ballroom dancing is a fun and easy form of exercise. If the thought of going to the gym makes you queazy, or if running is too difficult on your joints, ballroom dancing may be a great alternative. It is a great way to still work up a sweat without being a high impact sport. Many people have gained better flexibility, balance, and overall health due to Ballroom dancing. Regular dancing helps to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, type-II diabetes and cancer. And you'll enjoy yourself so much you'll forget you're exercising! According to many recent studies (http://documents.usabda.org/1019/) it has also been proven to help reduce the risk of getting dementia.
If you've ever wanted to sweep someone off their feet dancing is one of the most romantic ways to start. Ballroom dancing is not just dancing, but combines an appreciation of music, etiquette, manners, and social grace. It is a great venue for meeting new people without the atmosphere of a bar or club. Being a few inches away from another person for an evening or even a few minutes helps to create a more open, understanding, and sensitive connection between human beings, and helps ones outlook on life become more positive.
What benefits would you like to gain from your dancing?

During dictator state with all power in official
During the breakup of the Soviet Union many countries
received their freedom from the ways of a communist past. With these freedoms,
countries like Uzbekistan had to come about with their own political landscape
and decide on how they would continue to organize and enact on governmental
duties. While there was certainly a framework set in place by communist party
chief Islam Karimov when he accepted the presidency in 1991, there was still an
opportunity for the Uzbeks to implement a more democratic process into the
government. We will look at the political regime of the former Soviet republic
of Uzbekistan, with attention to the executive, legislative and judicial
branches and how they function, including a look at the presidency and how it
interacts with them to see if this landscape is a viable one for future
stability. While Uzbekistan as a former Soviet republic has the ability to make
changes, we will see if this is actually happening or is it simply a façade,
like we have seen before in Russian politics.
Seeing that Uzbekistan is a republic
which operates under a presidential constitutional system, whereas the
president is both the head of the government and the head of the state. In
order to understand this system a little more we will first look at the
constitution of Uzbekistan. The Uzbekistan Constitution accommodates solid
administration, with power to name government and break up assembly. By and by,
a dictator state with all power in official and concealment of contradiction. From
the earliest starting point of his administration, Karimov stayed submitted in
words to establishing democratic changes. Formally the constitution made a
partition of forces among a solid administration, the governing body, and a
legal. Practically speaking, be that as it may, these progressions have been to
a great extent corrective. Uzbekistan stays among the most tyrant states in
Central Asia. Despite the fact that the dialect of the constitution
incorporates numerous democratic highlights, it can be superseded by official
declarations and enactment, and frequently protected law just is disregarded. The
president is the head of state and is conceded preeminent official power by the
constitution. As president of the military, the president additionally may
proclaim a state of war. The president is empowered to choose the prime
minister and full cabinet, also the judges whom represent the three national
courts, subject to the endorsement of the assembly, and to choose all
individuals to members of the lower courts. The president likewise has the
ability to break up the parliament, basically refuting the Oly Majlis' ability to
veto control over presidential selections in a power battle circumstance. Delegates
of legislature are chosen to five-year terms. The body might be expelled by the
president with the alignment of the Constitutional Court; since that court is
liable to presidential arrangement, the expulsion condition weights the power
vigorously toward the executive branch. The Oly Majlis orders legislation, that
could be started by the president, inside of the parliament, by the high
courts, by the procurator general (most noteworthy law requirement official in
the nation), or by the administration of the Autonomous Province of
Karakalpakstan. Other than legislation, global bargains, presidential
declarations, and highly sensitive situations likewise should be endorsed by
the Oly Majlis. The national legislation includes the Supreme Court, the
Constitutional Court, and the High Economic Court. Lower court frameworks exist
at the local, area, and town levels. Judges at all levels are selected by the
president and affirmed by the Oly Majlis. Ostensibly free of alternate branches
of government, the courts stay under total control of the official branch. As
in the arrangement of the Soviet time, the procurator general and his
territorial and neighborhood counterparts are both the state's head indicting
authorities and the central specialists of criminal cases, a setup that
confines the pretrial privileges of respondents.
First, we will look at the overall
structure of the executive branch and its conquest to take out any and all
opposition. Karimov has gathered forces that guarantee full strength of the government
procedure for whatever length of time that he is president. He selects the Prime
Minister, all individuals from the cabinet, all individuals from the judiciary,
16 individuals from the recently shaped Senate, and every provincial official.
He likewise has developed or debilitated the tribes that frame the conventional
political texture of Uzbekistan, including the effective clan from Samarkand
that place him in control. Karimov has utilized his immediate control of the
National Security Service as far as possible limiting opposition. The cabinet
is an elastic stamp collection of six prime minister deputies, 14 ministers,
and the heads of five offices and state committees. The president was initially
expected to be chosen to five-year terms, serving a most extreme of two terms.
In March 1995, Karimov secured a 99 percent share in a rigged vote to expand
his term as president from the endorsed next race in. In 2002 choice expanded
the president's term from five years to eight years. The executive branch of
government is spoken to by the Cabinet of Ministers, which comprises of the
Prime Minister, the prime minister's deputy, the heads of services, government
organizations and bodies, and regions, and the head of legislature of the
Karakalpakstan Autonomous Republic. The Cabinet of Ministers is formally headed
by the Prime Minister; it is responsible to the President and the Parliament. This
setup we can see why the executive branch holds all of the power within the
government of Uzbekistan. With the judiciary lacking any independence to make
changes and with the legislature, whom hardly are ever available to meets, the
executive branch overseen by the president, continues to make the decisions around
the laws and any major touchpoints that concern or are in interest of the country.
The next branch of government is the
legislative system, which is represented by the Oliy Majilis or parliament that
represents the highest body in the country. Uzbekistan has a bicameral
Parliament which is chosen and designated for a five-year term. It comprises of,
an Upper House or Senate with 100 individuals, 84 of whom are chosen by viloyat
overseeing gatherings (six from each division) and 16 of whom are designated by
the President; and a Lower House or Legislative Chamber with 150 individuals,
who are chosen by well-known vote. In 2002 a submission supplanted the
one-chamber Parliament with a bicameral council under the president's control.
The old governing body, the Oliy Majlis (Supreme Assembly) had 150 individuals
who served five-year terms. The governing body has little power. Individuals
are picked in a procedure that keeps the resistance from partaking. Karimov's
energy in the parliament has been obvious in that body's augmentation of the
presidential term of office from five to seven years in 2002 and by its
elucidation that Karimov's first term reached out from 1991 to 2000, empowering
him to keep running for a "second" time. Following the two-round
parliamentary races of December 2004 and January 2005, the Oly Majlis included
individuals from five political parties, which were all in favor of the
The third branch that we will look at
is the Judicial, which is comprised of the Supreme Court, which has 34 judges
organized into different sectors. Then the constitutional court, which is made
of 7 judges and a higher economic court which contains 19 judges. Judge choice
and term of office: judges of the 3 most elevated courts selected by the
president and affirmed by the Oliy Majlis; judges delegated for 5-year terms
subject to reappointment. Uzbekistan ostensibly has an autonomous judicial
branch. Notwithstanding, practically speaking choices of the legal by and large
take after those of the Office of the Procuracy, the state prosecutorial
organization, and the president has the ability to delegate and evacuate
judges. The national judiciary incorporates the Supreme Court, the
at the provincial, locale, and town levels. Judges at all levels are named by
the president and affirmed by the Oly Majlis. Ostensibly free of alternate
branches of government, the courts stay under total control of the executive
branch. As in the arrangement of the Soviet time, the procurator general and
his local and nearby equivalents are both the state's head arraigning
authorities and the main agents of criminal cases, a design that restrains the
rights of the prosecuted.
In this presidential regime we can
see how the different branches of government relate to each other. The over
arching theme is that the president controls not only the executive branch but
also the judicial and legislative branches as well. The belief that the country
is looking for democratic reform is different than the actions that it is
taking. The president has all of the power, which is extremely similar to
Russia and in some cases even more openly authoritarian. Even in cases where
there are opportunities to bring about change through laws and political
parties, the president has a back door scenario in almost every case to either
openly deny the act or rely on his appointed members of the various branches to
deny the act. There are still massive amounts of corruption and deceit in the
political landscape and the traits of a strong communist party beliefs are
still present and flourishing. Even with the inclusion of multiple parties the
government continues to actively suppress their movements and openly bans
public meetings and demonstrations that are not sanctioned by the government.
This oppression also flows over into various communication channels such as
newspapers, radio and television, which limits the amount of information that
is shared with the population. The development toward monetary change in
Uzbekistan has not been aligned with the development toward political change.
The legislature of Uzbekistan has rather fixed its grasp since freedom in September
1991, breaking down progressively on resistance gatherings. In spite of the
fact that the names have changed, the establishments of government stay like
those that existed before the separation of the Soviet Union. The legislature
has advocated its restriction of open get together, resistance parties, and the
media by stressing the requirement for security and a continuous way to deal
with change amid the transitional period, referring to the contention and
tumult in the other previous. This approach has discovered belief among a large
part of Uzbekistan's population, albeit such a position may not be reasonable
over the long haul.
Looking at
the stability of the Uzbekistan government comes in two-fold. The first thing
that must be looked at is the current standing of the government. In spite of
the trappings of institutional change, the main years of autonomy saw more
protection than acknowledgment of the institutional changes required for a democratic
law based change to grab hold. Whatever underlying development toward democracy
rules system existed in Uzbekistan in the beginning of freedom appears to have
been overwhelmed by the dormancy of the staying Soviet-style solid brought
together authority. This soviet style presence is still very strong and in that
essence the current government standing is stable. The authoritarian party will
continue to take the lead and make changes as they see fit and the presidents
grasp will not be able to be challenged, which seems to be aligned with what
the majority wants. In looking at the future of the government and its desire
to want to become more democratic will be necessary for any sort of long term
solution in the current global political landscape. Even in looking at
comparison on how the neighboring country of Kyrgyzstan has become more
democratic and instilled the beliefs into the government, the relationship
between the two countries is constantly under turmoil. Due to this Uzbekistan
is not overly concerned with what they are doing or seeing how it could be a
potentially positive thing to bring about the change. Overall, I do see the
current political regime as stable but the long term implications of this
soviet styled regime will not be stable and needs to change from the current
corrupt system to a more democratic process.

'A Boy's Own Story' Graphic Novel Review
An Iconic Coming of Age Story Gets a Dazzling Graphic Novel Treatment
ComicsReviews
By: Victor Catano
A Boy's Own Story, by Edmund White, is widely regarded as a classic work both as a coming-of-age novel and as a landmark piece in gay literature. It tells the autobiographical story of an unnamed narrator growing up gay in the midwest in the fifties while dealing with the weight of the divorce of his parents. Finding solace in works of art, what follows is a character's journey fumbling away through life and early sexual encounters, then into adulthood. This new graphic novel adaptation, written by Brian Alessandro and Michael Carroll, with illustrations by Igor Karash, is a classic in its own right.
One of the immediate things of notice in this graphic novel is the writing style. It's evocative and deliberately invoking Proust as a nod to the narrator's favorite author. The smell of a Parisian cab driver's cigar starts the story, sending him back into memories of the past. The smell of his father's cigars. A life that once was and the reminisce of former days.
Similarly, the artwork featured here is glorious. The watercolors evoke the impressionists that the narrator loves to go and see with his mother. With impressionism being the perfect vehicle for a book based on memories. There are images that are sometimes hazy, sometimes vivid. The narrator often appears as a background character in these memories, wandering through to comment on the actions of his past as they become reflected in his present.
The story is episodic, as memories are, jumping from past to present. First, the narrator observes himself as a young teen, vacationing at his father's lakeside cottage and taking his first fumbling sexual experiences with the son of family friends.
It then looks at how his father and he could only bond over their shared love of classical music. How his early experiences at boarding school shaped his affairs and desires into adulthood. Especially, in regards to how his closeted youth lead him to a life in New York to be part of the Stonewall riots.
Like memories, the vignettes can meander, but what seem like false starts often lead to ripples in the future. The boys the narrator crushes on in the past affect his partners in the present, which in turn are affected by the memories of his father.
Part wistful, part rueful, A Boy's Own Story is a beautifully told tale. The prose and paintings work together to create a vivid impression of a young man, however hazy the particulars of memory can be.

Many of you have heard that we are beginning to teach a program called Progressing Ballet Technique over the summer.
I wanted to take this opportunity to explain a little bit more about the program and why we are so excited to adopt it as a new part of our advanced classical ballet training at Ballet 5:8. Progressing Ballet Technique was developed by Marie Walton-Mahon, based on her passion for safe dance training. After a professional career dancing with Les Ballet de Marseilles in France, she opened Marie Walton-Mahon Dance Academy. The development of the program began as a way to help her own students form the very specific muscle memory needed for classical ballet as well as develop core strength - as she began to see success in her dancers and after the encouragement of other dance educators she began to make her program available through a series of DVD's, online training videos, and workshops.
I had the wonderful opportunity to attend one of her workshops and to be certified to teach the Progressing Ballet Technique program during Ballet 5:8 Studio Company's trip to the National RDA Festival this past May.
I expected the program to be good, but I have to say that it surpassed my expectations! Most of the exercises are performed on an exercise ball or with a resistance band - the exercises are carefully developed to help students find correct muscle engagement without gripping. The use of the ball also gives the dancers instant feedback - what I mean by this is that it is difficult to perform the exercises incorrectly and keep the ball from rolling away! I was also pleased that the program specifically addressed weaknesses that are very common to students and are more difficult to tackle. These weaknesses can take a long time to address when the students is only taking ballet.
The wonderful thing about cross training in general is that it can give your body the extra strength, flexibility, endurance, or muscle memory needed to overcome its individual weaknesses and make class work more effective.
Progressing Ballet Technique accomplishes this in a very effective way for classical dance because it was designed specifically to address the muscle groups that are crucial to perform ballet technique safely and effectively. This is a wonderful tool to add to our student's education in ballet. I am very excited to get started and see how quickly the dancer's improve!
This blog post's author, Ms. Lauren Ader-Cumpston, is the founding Director of Ballet 5:8 School of the Arts' Conservatory Program and performed with Ballet 5:8 from 2012-2017. Progressing Ballet Technique will be included in Ballet 5:8 School of the Arts syllabus beginning at Summer Intensive, 2017.

Not sure if these issues have been addressed already, but I've checked and don't see any current topics regarding the bugs.
1. With the 'launch' function, the area of the impact crater and apparent damage done to a planet appears bugged with certain objects. A basketball launched towards earth at 10m/s or 10km/s makes a crater of glowing lava the size of Nebraska, same for any of the tiny sized objects I've launched. In fact, many of the small objects (pyramid) do far more damage to a planet or moon than the much larger asteroids or comets.
2. "Explode" option vs inducing a supernova.
When 'explode' is applied to stars, a mouse-over displays a yield based on the escape velocity, but doesn't seem to be completely consistent with a supernova. For example, a white dwarf will type 1a supernova when adding hydrogen to its out layer, or you can just use the explode button-- but the explode button gives a tiny fraction of a type 1a yield, implying using the 'explode' function might be orders of magnitude smaller than a true type 1a supernova.
edit: I just noticed this, when using 'explode' on white dwarfs, instead of a type 1a supernova, a type II supernova is achieved and a remnant is left which appears to be a copy of itself, but with more mass. Is this a nova?
I verified there was an actual difference by placing two of the same white dwarfs in a simulation, one was supernova'd by adding hydrogen to its outer layer and the other by using 'explode. The result was fairly clear the one that detonated as a result of the hydrogen was much larger and appeared faster.
--When modeling the planetary effects of a nearby supernova such as atmospheric venting, oceans boiling and other thermal effects, does the ejecta cause the observed effects or is direct radiation modeled? i.e, is the difference in typ1a and type II supernova modeled at all? I'm curious because type 1a and type II supernova are differentiated in the sim, and type 1a, while less energetic includes much more ejected material than type II which emit a large part of their energy as neutrinos. Just curious if any differences exist between type 1a and type II in the sim.
-What affects the intensity of the solar wind? Any way to change this?
-Do promininces and flares have any real effects or is it simply a cosmetic feature of stars?
-Do extreme mag fields, when added to stars, have any effects on a planets atmosphere?
*When adding a magnetic field and spin to a neutron star, there are none of the Pulsar effects which are observed from the tutorial using the white dwarf.
Thanks in advance and sorry for the wall of questions/issues!
I won't be able to answer all of these, but I'll do my best.
The issue with very small objects causing huge craters has been mentioned multiple times, and I believe the devs are considering a solution to this problem.
I believe the differences between Type 1a and Type II supernovae are not yet modelled except for explosive power. Stars are not very realistic at the moment and this is also being worked on.
I suppose increasing the luminosity of the star would increase the strength of the stellar winds. More luminosity means more energy released by the star.
Prominences and flares are currently only for aesthetic effect.
The strength of a star's magnetic field does not have any effect on planets and can really only be seen around pulsars. Strengthening a pulsar's magnetic field makes the visual effect larger.

Jonathan hasn't informed us of presidential ambition- Niger Delta Forum
by Agency Report
Ex-President Goodluck Jonathan
The Pan-Niger Delta Forum has said former President Goodluck Jonathan has not informed it if he is contesting the 2023 presidential election or not.
The group's spokesperson, Ken Robinson, said in an interview that PANDEF's view was in line with the stand of the Southern and Middle-Belt Forum leaders that the next President should come from the South-East.

He stated, "On this political matter, the presidency of 2023, PANDEF, together with the Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Afenifere and the Middle Belt Forum, has taken a position, which is that power should shift to southern Nigeria.
"We have gone further to say it should move preferably to the South-East. That is our position. In the interest of fairness, equity and justice, and giving a sense of belonging to all parts of Nigeria, the South-East should be considered to produce the next President. That is the position of PANDEF.
"However, the leaders of these groups, Chief Ayo Adebanjo (Afenifere), Prof George Obiozor (Ohanaeze Ndigbo), Dr Birtus Porgus (Middle Belt Forum) and Chief Edwin Clark (PANDEF), have made these points clear. We remain in that position."
Commenting on the rumours that Jonathan had decided to run for the highest seat in the country on the platform of the ruling All Progressive Congress, Robinson said, "He has not told PANDEF whether or not he wants to contest. So, these things are all rumours.
"If former President Goodluck Jonathan is approached, and as the rumours have it, decides to become the flag bearer of any of the political parties; when they conduct their primaries, we will sit down and evaluate the choices that have been presented before us and choose the best.
"Politics is dynamic. The delegates of the political parties and the parties themselves have their ways of throwing up whoever they want to, but what we are saying is to speak to the conscience of Nigerians and the political stakeholders and leaders of the political parties.
"We know that individuals have their fundamental rights to aspire to any office, but those individual rights are intertwined. We are in a country, and one's rights may infringe on the rights of other Nigerians."
Meanwhile, the Atiku Support Organisation has called on Jonathan to "maintain his position of respect and integrity as an elder statesman and not allow the failed APC government of Major General Muhammdu Buhari (retd.), to drag him through the mud."
"Nigerians are tired of the APC. Not even a saint can save the APC from defeat in 2023. It's time for Alhaji Atiku Abubakar to save Nigeria and build a modern and prosperous society. We called on Dr Goodluck Jonathan to support Atiku Abubakar to rebuild Nigeria," the group's spokesman, Dr Victor Moses, stated.
Also, the National Publicity Secretary for the African Action Congress, Mr Femi Adeyeye, said, "Doing the same thing and expecting a different result is synonymous with foolishness."
In a chat with Sunday PUNCH, Adeyeye said, "We need to tread a new path now. We said it before any other person or group of persons that GEJ would come to the APC and would declare. His likelihood of emerging is also very high because the cabal that is destroying Nigeria is finding him the best fit for the work to destroy more.
"To the disappointment of the cabal, GEJ's aspiration to come back and contest is suffering setbacks. Among the people, it is infamous and unpopular. But it should not be our job to psycho-analyse them for they are one and the same."
He has every right to contest –INC
However, the Ijaw National Congress said Jonathan was qualified to contest the presidency and should not be denied his right to do so on any basis.
The group's National Publicity Secretary, Ezonebi Oyakemeagbegha, in an interview with Sunday PUNCH, said, "Jonathan is qualified to contest. I don't know the basis on which the people who have said he is not qualified are speaking, but his presidency will be for the country and not just for the Ijaw people.
"I am not a lawyer, but I know that he is qualified to contest. Of course, for us at the INC, we hope that he will contest. There is no permanent enemy or friend in politics. Many people have defected to other parties and nothing happened.
"You will see that the former Senate President, Bukola Saraki, moved to another party. Other top politicians like the former governor of Akwa Ibom State, Senator Godswill Akpabio; former governor of Rivers State and Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, others, have also moved to other parties."
"If you see that it is better to use another political platform to achieve an aim, it is your choice. If he moves to the APC, there is no crime in it."
Asked whether Jonathan had informed the INC of his decision to run for office, Oyakemeagbegha said, "He is still consulting; he has not come to inform us of his decision to contest."

The 1980s and '90s were the busiest in the more than 50-year career of Steve Allen, who in 1986 was inducted into the TV Academy's Hall of Fame. In the '50s and '60s, when involved with weekly or nightly TV series, his extraneous activities were necessarily limited. In recent years, as he continued to appear as a guest on network and syndication programs, Allen had more time to write books, star in occasional dramatic shows, play major concerts, legitimate theatres, and nightclubs around the country, compose more songs and record more albums.
During the 1980's, Allen starred in two limited prime-time series for NBC -- The Big Show and The Steve Allen Comedy Hour -- produced the fourth season of his Emmy and Peabody award-winning Meeting of Minds for PBS, and garnered critical acclaim for his hosting of the 32nd annual Emmy Awards Show, stepping in at the last minute during an ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike (and contributing his fee to the unions' strike fund).
In New York, his comedy musical Seymour Glick is Alive But Sick was greeted with critical raves during its run at the St. Regis Hotel.
Throughout '80s and '90s, Allen turned out 28 new books bringing his total to 54 published works. Click here for new titles during this period.
The multi-talented comedian, writer, composer, lyricist, actor, concert artist, lecturer (ad infinitum) was a tall (6'3"), 200-pound man, married for more than 46 years to the beautiful and versatile actress Jayne Meadows. They lived for more than 40 years in a comfortable hillside home overlooking the San Fernando Valley. Frequent visitors were their son, Bill, President of Meadowlane Music and Meadowlane Enterprises and former president of MTM Television in Hollywood, and Steve's three sons by his first marriage: Steve Jr., a doctor and lecturer in Ithaca, New York; Brian, President of Windermere, Cronn & Caplan, realtors in Portland; and David, a songwriter in San Francisco. (Allen's eight-year marriage to the late Dorothy Goodman, whom he met while attending Arizona State Teacher's College, ended in divorce in 1952.) Steve often said his favorite role in life was Grandpa, one he got considerable practice playing as he had 12 grandchildren.
Allen's clear and open mind enabled him to move lightly from the most complex subjects to nutty comedy. He used it on a 24-hour-a-day schedule, finding ideas literally while waking and sleeping. Always ready to extract them, Allen had small tape-recorders everywhere: in his pockets, in the bathroom, by his bed, in his car. This system supplied the raw material for the numerous Allen activities.
"I'm always busy," he noted, "but always doing things I enjoy. I rarely occupy myself with things that bug me. I'm very fortunate in that not many of us are allowed to live for kicks and get paid for it."
But it is sometimes difficult for the observer to get the man in focus. Allen was, for example, a television comedian of nearly 50 years' standing who has written a scholarly treatise on migratory farm labor titled The Ground is our Table.
He recounted white-collar crime in Ripoff: The Corruption that Plagues America. And in 2000, he wrote a BestSeller on raising the standards of popular culture called Vulgarians at the Gate.
Steve Allen, the actor who starred in Universal's The Benny Goodman Story, is the same man whose poems have appeared in Atlantic Monthly and Saturday Review, and who has had two books of poetry published.
Steve Allen, the composer of more than 7,900 songs, was the same man who wrote the popular novel Not All of Your Laughter, Not all of Your Tears.
Allen, the lyricist of such popular songs as "South Rampart Street Parade," "Picnic," "Gravy Waltz," "Mary Hartman-Mary Hartman" and "This Could be the Start of Something Big," also starred on the Broadway stage in The Pink Elephant.
Steve Allen, the author of 54 published books, ranging in subject matter from poetry through short stories, humor, autobiography and politics, was also the composer and lyricist of the stage musical Sophie, about the late Sophie Tucker; and, in 1986, he composed the score for the CBS-TV version of Alice in Wonderland.
Steve Allen was the composer of the background score of the MGM film, A Man Called Dagger, and yet the same man who wrote and produced an award-winning TV documentary on organized crime.
As Allen's good friend Andy Williams said, "Steve did so many things, he's the only man I know who's listed on every one of the Yellow Pages."
Steve's taste for both high and lowbrow comedy came naturally -- his mother was the popular vaudeville comedienne Belle Montrose. (His father, Billy Allen, Belle's straightman, died before Steve was two.) Though he was raised in and around show business, traveling from city to city, he would usually wind up in Chicago, the home of his mother's Irish-Catholic, lower-middle-class family whose humor Steve described as "sarcastic, volatile, sometimes disparaging, but very funny."
Steve was later to write a semi-autobiographical drama based on reminiscences of his early childhood. The Wake had its world premiere at the Masquers Theatre in Hollywood during the Fall of 1971.
In 1978, The Wake enjoyed a successful run on the Eastern theatre circuit, with Allen himself in one of the starring roles.
It garnered the acclaim of both critics and the public, and was nominated by the Los Angeles TV Critics Circle in Best Play category. The Wake was produced, in 1991, by a theatrical company in Milwaukee, and in 1992 completed a successful run at the Celtic Arts Center in Los Angeles. Steve also adapted the story to novel form, which was published by Doubleday.

Q: Change coordinate of MKOverlay for an MKOverlayView I have an overlay on the map, and I would like to change its coordinates. To do this seamlessly I'm going to call the setNeedsDisplayInMapRect: method after the change has been made to the view.
I've tested this out by just changing the fillColor and it works fine:
overlayView.fillColor = [[UIColor greenColor] colorWithAlphaComponent:0.3];
[overlayView setNeedsDisplayInMapRect:mapView.visibleMapRect];

However I've seemingly hit a brick wall trying to also change the center coordinates of my overlay view (which is an MKCircleView with an MKCircle). There is a method in
MKAnnotation, which MKCircle conforms to, called setCoordinate: - which seems like what I need. Unfortunately though, the circle property in MKCircleView is readonly. Moreover the overlay property in MKOverlayView is also readonly.
Is there actually a way of changing the coordinates for an overlay, without resort to remove the overlay view and adding a new one (which would cause very noticeable flicker on the screen.) ?

A: same problem is occurred here , so i'm creating set of method and calling it according to requirement.
-(void)removeAllAnnotationFromMapView{
    if ([[self.tmpMapView annotations] count]) {
        [self.tmpMapView removeAnnotations:[self.tmpMapView annotations]];
    }
}
-(void)removeAllOverlays{
    if ([[self.tmpMapView overlays] count]) {
        [self.tmpMapView removeOverlays:[self.tmpMapView overlays]];
    }
}

-(void)removeOverlayWithTag:(int)tagValue{
    for (MKOverlayView *oView in [self.tmpMapView overlays]) {
        if (oView.tag == tagValue) {
            [self.tmpMapView removeOverlay:oView];
        }
    }
}

Sex: The Not-So-Free Market
Sugaring (as in Sugar Babies, Sugar Daddies and Sugar Mommas), Gold Digging, Marriages of Convenience: Sex is sometimes a transactional medium, leading to fuzzy boundaries, trouble and confusion.
Interpersonal scripts that offer sex in return for material reward are being run across the globe. In the US, there are entire sites devoted to people seeking "arrangements" rather than love: "I want a companion, and in exchange I'll pay your tuition." "I want a great lover, and in exchange I will take you to the best parties." Mistresses and kept women (or kept men) have appeared, throughout literature and history, for centuries. Some marriages are set up this way even today: They are convenient or transactional, and designed to serve families, local politics, and/or the greater good. In places where women have few avenues to security, social standing, or power, marrying into wealth remains to this day a viable strategy. It wasn't so long ago when mothers told their daughters, "It's just as easy to love a rich man as a poor man." Or, admonished their girls to abstain from pre-marital sex with the now unbelievable phrase, "Why buy the cow, when the milk is free?"
Practicality aside, we in the developed world (and in the United States more than other countries) publicly disdain this equation, while still engaging in it privately. It's so crass, so dependent, so unromantic. And more than that, some part of us knows that it is fraught with inauthenticity, and the potential for abuse. Why? Because the relatively benign scenarios above reinforce the idea that sex remains, essentially, a transaction.
At the lower end of the socioeconomic strata, though, such transactional scenarios can become exploitative, even deadly. Women, and young people of both genders, are trafficked for sex—in part because prostitution isn't considered a serious crime in the mind of mainstream culture, and in part because poor women are largely anonymous, and aren't considered worthy of respect. Powerful figures who engage prostitutes or abuse women are, for the most part, let off with a wink and a nod. Even if they do commit actual crimes, society very often looks the other way (and even elects perpetrators to office!).
Some feminist schools of thought assert that legalizing prostitution and (non-pedophile) pornography puts power back into the hands of women: finally they themselves, not their agents, are the beneficiaries of the sexual economy. But, it's a complex subject. Of course, women should claim power over their own bodies—whether the choice is prostitution, celibacy, traditional householder, sex-positive, bi-, poly, queer, whatever. But for me, it's not a question of what we do with our bodies, which is an individual liberty, it's a question of whether or not our own intention is being served, or whether it serves someone else's agenda. Sometimes our own motivations are buried in layers of culture and habitual beliefs that are hard to parse out. Even if we can't answer all of these questions, we can certainly raise them.
In addition, each of us might take a good, long look at the places where we are buying into transactional intimacy—from porn and prostitution to sex in exchange for dinner and a movie. Women have a lot more to offer than sex, yet to many men, that's where the interest begins and ends: Women are vessels to be used, not human beings in full. Some men, meanwhile, are seen simply as sources of security, and their full human potential is also ignored.
Maybe this sort of behavior once served evolution. But we don't need it now. We need consciousness in the sexual realm, as in all the others. Now is the time to pay exquisite attention to our motivations. To stand on our own, both economically and psycho-emotionally, and let the gift of our intimacy be a mutual blessing, not a transaction.
