Twentieth Century Fox, 64 Minutes
"Gosh. I hope I don't pull any boners." – Johnny Williams
I wanted to show some love to some lesser known film-noir pictures here, in the month of Noirvember. What's cool about these mostly forgotten noir flicks is that there are literally hundreds of them for free on YouTube.
The story starts when a police lieutenant finds a corpse with bullet holes in a car sitting in front of the police station. An investigation starts and we learn that there was some sort of political motivation to the killing.
The first few minutes of the film were intriguing and a decent setup. However, the rest of the movie was a slog to get through. Mostly, it was dull, kind of uneventful despite a decent paced plot progression and it lacked the panache of the classic film-noir style.
Even though this was made by Paramount, it felt cheap, rushed and it was obvious that it was made with the intention of slapping it on a double bill with a better picture.
Now that doesn't necessarily mean that a movie has to be bad and this isn't bad. It's just sort of meh.
Often times, the B-pictures on the double bill actually exceed the A-pictures they are paired with. Now I'm not sure what this film was paired up with, as there surprisingly isn't a lot of information on it.
I can't quite call this a waste of time but there are probably two-hundred noir pictures I'd recommend before it.
Pairs well with: other lesser known noir pictures like Blonde Ice, Inner Sanctum, Please Murder Me! and The Pretender.
Film Review: Black Angel (1946)

Release Date: August 2nd, 1946
Directed by: Roy William Neill
Written by: Roy Chanslor
Based on: The Black Angel by Cornell Woolrich
Music by: Frank Skinner
Cast: Dan Duryea, June Vincent, Peter Lorre, Broderick Crawford, Constance Dowling
Universal Pictures, 81 Minutes
"Now may I have the box and the letter? Remember Catherine… you promised me to be a good girl." – Marko
This is a pretty highly regarded classic noir picture. I had never watched it until now and despite the fanfare for it, I still wasn't prepared for how good this movie is.
It stars a pair with great, great chemistry: Dan Duryea and June Vincent. They were perfect together in this and it was nice seeing Duryea not play an evil asshole.
The film also stars Peter Lorre in one of his best performances. In fact, this may be my favorite role he's played after M.
Now the plot is complicated to explain but it all flows really well in the movie itself.
In a nutshell, Dan Duryea's wife is murdered but the man wrongly arrested for it is June Vincent's husband. Initially, Vincent suspects Duryea and confronts him in an effort to clear her husband. She discovers that he couldn't have done it and the two pair up in an effort to find the real killer and to free Vincent's husband before execution. The man they suspect is Peter Lorre, who owns a swanky nightclub where the pair get a gig as the house musicians.
What's neat about the film is that it is one hundred percent noir but it has a lot of music in it and the performances by Vincent and Duryea's characters are fantastic.
From the first frame to the last, the film looks perfect. The cinematography is top notch but the real life within the picture comes from the set design. The world feels real and genuine in a way that wasn't typical with big studio films of the '40s.
The shot framing is also really good. One moment that especially comes to mind is the scene where Lorre is opening his safe with Vincent just over his shoulder, watching him dial in his combination.
The opening sequence is also pretty well done in how it uses miniatures and shot transitions. While it's not perfect, I don't know how you could do it any better in the era when this film was made.
As good noir films go, this has a big twist and reveal at the end of the film. You don't really see it coming and it is three parts heart-wrenching and two parts a punch to the gut. Basically, it was effective… damn effective.
I love this film and it's a classic noir that I'm sure I will revisit again, much sooner than later.
Pairs well with: other classic noir pictures like Fallen Angel, The Dark Corner, Phantom Lady, The Blue Dahlia, etc.
Film Review: The Blue Dahlia (1946)

Release Date: April 16th, 1946 (Baltimore premiere)
Directed by: George Marshall
Written by: Raymond Chandler
Music by: Victor Young (uncredited)
Cast: Alan Ladd, Veronica Lake, William Bendix, Howard Da Silva, Doris Dowling
Paramount Pictures, 96 Minutes
"Just don't get too complicated, Eddie. When a man gets too complicated, he's unhappy. And when he's unhappy, his luck runs out." – Leo
While not the first film to pair up Alan Ladd and Veronica Lake, this is probably the most famous one and the one that is considered the best. Although, I'd say that I like This Gun For Hire quite a bit more. I still haven't seen their earliest film, The Glass Key, but I plan to watch it within the week.
The plot of the film revolves around an ex-serviceman, Johnny, who is wanted for the murder of his wife, who he had a severe falling out with once returning home from World War II. He finds out that she killed their son while driving drunk and that she has been having an affair with the owner of the Blue Dahlia nightclub. During their argument, Johnny pulls a gun on his wife but doesn't use it. However, a witness saw this so when she is killed after Johnny leaves, he is the prime suspect.
In typical noir fashion, the rest of the film follows Johnny trying to clear his name while also trying to discover who the killer is.
The film is written by Raymond Chandler, who is probably known more for the film adaptations of his crime novels than his actual screenwriting but the story here is on par with his others and the dialogue is pretty well written. But it's the talents of Alan Ladd, Veronica Lake, as well as the smaller parts of Doris Dowling and Howard Da Silva that gave the script real life. But I also can't discount George Marshall's direction.
The cinematography is decent but nothing extraordinary. Paramount made good looking noir pictures but they lack the visual panache of the noirs put out by RKO. But no one knew what film-noir was when they were making these films and the cinematography feels more like the crew sticking to Paramount's tightly controlled standard than actually trying to give this some artistic flourish.
The Blue Dahlia is a beloved film for most noir lovers. I definitely enjoyed it but I can't really put it in the upper echelon of the style's best pictures.
Pairs well with: other film-noir pictures pairing Veronica Lake and Alan Ladd.
Film Review: So Dark the Night (1946)
May 21, 2019 by Talking Pulp	in Film Review, Reviews and tagged 1940s, 1946, Brother Theodore, crime, drama, film, Joseph H. Lewis, noir, review	| Leave a comment
Release Date: October 10th, 1946
Directed by: Joseph H. Lewis
Written by: Dwight V. Babcock, Martin Berkeley, Aubrey Wisberg
Music by: Hugo Friedhofer
Cast: Steven Geray, Micheline Cheirel, Brother Theodore
Columbia Pictures, 71 Minutes
"I knew it was too good to be true. That much happiness just wasn't meant for me." – Henri Cassin
This was a film-noir that I didn't know much about before going into it. I also wasn't familiar with the majority of the cast, other than Brother Theodore, who has a pretty minor role.
I came across this on the Criterion Channel, as they have a collection devoted to Columbia Pictures film-noir movies. A cool collection because I haven't seen a lot of the Columbia noir films, as they weren't as prominent in the style as RKO or Warner Bros.
The story here takes place in France but it stars actors speaking in English with a bit of a French accent. The narrative itself is pretty shaky and while it does gets you invested into the plot, early on, it all falls apart when the big reveal comes towards the end.
This, like many noir pictures, has a twist. That twist falls flat though, as it doesn't make a lot of sense and its sort of forced on you and throws some science-y, psychiatric nonsense at you that you just have to accept, as its not really based in any sort of actual fact and is just manufactured out of the writers' shoddy assumptions.
Additionally, while this is noir and filmed and presented in that style, it's very pedestrian looking and doesn't offer much noir allure. It lacks in regards to its cinematography, with basic lighting, shot framing and camera work.
However, this is directed by Joseph H. Lewis who would go on to make one of the greatest film-noirs of all-time: Gun Crazy.
Pairs well with: My Name Is Julia Ross, Drive a Crooked Road and Nightfall.
Film Review: Nobody Lives Forever (1946)
April 23, 2019 by Talking Pulp	in Film Review, Reviews and tagged 1940s, 1946, crime, drama, Faye Emerson, film, George Coulouris, Geraldine Fitzgerald, John Garfield, noir, review, romance, W.R. Burnett	| Leave a comment
Release Date: November 1st, 1946
Directed by: Jean Negulesco
Written by: W.R. Burnett
Based on: Nobody Lives Forver by W.R. Burnett
Music by: Adolph Deutsch
Cast: John Garfield, Geraldine Fitzgerald, Walter Brennan, Faye Emerson
Warner Bros., 100 Minutes
"I don't wanna get rough with you unless I have to!" – Nick Blake
This film starts out as a very gritty film-noir crime tale. But it actually evolves into something with a real sweetness to it once the two leads, John Garfield and Geraldine Fitzgerald, come into contact with one another and romance blooms. Granted, this is not a romance film, in the traditional sense.
It also has a solid femme fatale, played by the incredibly alluring Faye Emerson.
This picture is well acted from top to bottom and as much as I love Garfield, Fitzgerald and Emerson, there is a real scene stealer in George Coulouris. Man, this guy just takes over each scene where he appears.
The story follows a con man and former World War II soldier that wants to go straight. However, as noirs go, he has to pull off one more job before he can attempt to live a normal life. And also as noirs go, there are twists and turns and this last job isn't going to be an easy one. Especially when a woman gets caught up in the middle of it all and melts his heart. It also doesn't help that his ex-girlfriend shows up to throw a wrench in the machine.
The film is written by W.R. Burnett, a man who wrote solid films like Little Caesar, Scarface, High Sierra, The Postman Always Rings Twice, The Asphalt Jungle, The Racket and Thunderbolt and Lightfoot. Burnett always seemed to write things that I thoroughly enjoyed and this picture was no different. It's well paced, has layers, surprises and doesn't get bogged down by being too typical for a noir.
The cinematography is superb but it's really the set design that gives this film its visual life. Everything either looks opulent and pristine or it looks lush and robust. Even the dim and gritty looking finale of the film has a set with character.
Not to spoil anything but its nice that this film doesn't end in complete tragedy and that the protagonists go on to live the life that they want. Sometimes that's nice in a noir, as it certainly isn't the standard. Here, it just works and by film's end, I was glad that these two endearing characters weren't fodder for the bullets of the law. Maybe that's because despite some of his shady actions, Garfield's character still had a good moral center and never got wrapped up in the femme fatale's tentacles and instead, chose the good woman.
Pairs well with: High Sierra, Humoresque, Three Strangers and He Ran All the Way.
Film Review: Lady In the Lake (1946)
April 4, 2019 by Talking Pulp	in Film Review, Reviews and tagged 1940s, 1946, Audrey Totter, crime, film, mystery, noir, Philip Marlowe, Raymond Chandler, review, Robert Montgomery, thriller	| Leave a comment
Release Date: December 19th, 1946 (London)
Directed by: Robert Montgomery
Written by: Steve Fisher
Based on: The Lady In the Lake by Raymond Chandler
Music by: David Snell
Cast: Robert Montgomery, Audrey Totter, Lloyd Nolan, Tom Tully, Leon Ames, Jayne Meadows
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, 105 Minutes
"Do you fall in love with all of your clients?" – Adrienne, "Only the ones in skirts." – Marlowe
There were a lot of Philip Marlowe movies in the 1940s. This one was probably the most unique though, in that it was filmed in a first-person perspective, as we see the whole movie through the eyes of the famous private dick.
I don't think that this is the first time that a movie was filmed entirely in first-person perspective but it's the only film-noir that I've seen presented that way, at least in its entirety.
The technique was gimmicky but it helped to market the movie in a way that told the audience that they got to solve the case alongside Philip Marlowe: seeing and hearing everything the famous P.I. does.
If anything, the gimmick worked to hold your attention quite well, especially when you were being directly addressed by the beautiful Audrey Totter, as well as her personal assistant who shows up briefly. In any event, it was an interesting perspective to view a classic film-noir tale through.
Apart from that, the movie doesn't offer up much flourish, stylistically. It's a clean and well produced picture but it doesn't have anything that really stands out in regards to its cinematography, lighting or overall visual aesthetic.
It is well acted, though, and the film is entertaining. There are the typical plot twists and noir tropes but I'd say that it is one of the weaker Marlowe movies of its day. It certainly isn't on the level of Murder, My Sweet or The Big Sleep but its a fun movie for fans of Robert Montgomery and the Philip Marlowe character.
Pairs well with: other Philip Marlowe film adaptations from the 1940s: Time to Kill, The Falcon Takes Over, Murder, My Sweet, The Big Sleep, and The Brasher Doubloon.
Film Review: Crack-Up (1946)

Written by: John Paxton, Ben Bengal, Ray Spencer
Based on: Madman's Holiday by Frederic Brown
Music by: Leigh Harline
Cast: Pat O'Brien, Claire Trevor, Herbert Marshall, Ray Collins
RKO Radio Pictures, 93 Minutes
"Wouldn't it be smarter to go to Cochrane and get this thing out in the open?" – Terry Cordell, "About as smart as cutting my throat to get some fresh air." – George Steele
I had never heard of Crack-Up until it was featured on TCM's Noir Alley.
While not a great noir, it was certainly intense and it kept you glued to your seat, as things escalated and layers of this mystery started to be peeled back.
It stars Pat O'Brien and Claire Trevor, both of whom did quite good in this. I've always liked Trevor's work, especially in noir.
The film was directed by Irving Reis, who wasn't usually behind the camera on noir pictures and was more famous for directing films like The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer, The Gay Falcon, The Big Street and The Four Poster. He also didn't have a terribly long career when compared to other well-known directors of his day but he did have a real knack for framing shots superbly and for utilizing the tools around him.
While this film does grab you quickly, it starts to taper off a bit towards the end, as it inches towards its climax. It wasn't a big issue for me but it lost some momentum and probably could have been more effective at around 75 minutes with the final act fine tuned more.
For the time, the lighting effects were solid and I love the scene where O'Brien is watching another approaching train that he fears is going to collide with the one he's riding on.
I loved the use of trains in the film, as well as setting some scenes in a museum while also critiquing art critics. I'm not sure if that was done in defense of art that challenges tradition or if this film wasn't that smart. Regardless, it was interesting to see.
With lots of suspense, this is a better than average thriller that is maybe a bit too unknown and probably underrated.
Pairs well with: other RKO Radio Pictures film-noirs of the era.

The 2011 MLB regular season began Thursday and opening day is concluding as I write this post. The day was full of excitement including a walk-off home run in Cincinnati, and a former-Marlin performing in the clutch for the Padres.
I didn't get to watch the Nationals' opening day game live, but I guess I didn't miss too much. The Nats lost to the Braves 0-2 in a gloomy day in the city. Jason Heyward homered in his first at bat of the year, completing that accomplishment two years in a row. Livan Hernandez pitched well, working into the seventh inning surrendering just four hits and two runs. Hopefully Washington can improve Saturday afternoon.
In the first extra inning game of the year, the Padres beat the Cardinals in St. Louis. With two outs in the top of the ninth, and the Redbirds leading, Cameron Maybin homered to dead-center field to knot the game at three. In three seasons as a Marlin, Maybin hit only 12 home runs. Nevertheless, I wish him the best with San Diego.
With the Reds trailing Milwaukee 4-6 in the last of the ninth, Ramon Hernandez hit an opposite field three-run shot two give the Reds their first win of the year.
The Angels and Yankees were among the other winners on Thursday. The rest of the teams get under way tomorrow.

When will I receive a Covid relief cash payment and how
By Gregory J. Bradway on	 December 19, 2020 Cash payment
Congress is in eleventh hour talks to give the green light to a second round of stimulus checks for U.S. households. If they do, cash payments could reach many Americans in a matter of weeks.
Yes, hopes for further pandemic aid have already been dashed, but this time it looks really different. Lawmakers are trying to tie the stimulus package to a federal spending bill that must be passed by midnight Sunday, in order to avoid a government shutdown.
If Capitol Hill executives can strike a deal to pass the new Pandemic Assistance Bill, direct payments of up to $ 600 per individual could begin this month.
"For most Americans, these payments will be made very quickly and within a time frame similar to that of the first round of stimulus checks," said Chantel Boyens, former head of the Bureau of Management and Budget.
But just like the first round of cash payments, the distribution time may be faster for some Americans.
The first standing
The first in line will likely be people who already have their direct payment information registered with the IRS.
Within two weeks of the CARES Act coming into effect in March, more than 81 million payments were made, totaling over $ 147 billion, all through wire transfers to bank accounts beneficiaries, according to the Government Accountability Office.
"I was surprised last spring at how quickly the Treasury Department was able to roll out economic impact payments," said Janet Holtzblatt, senior researcher at the Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center.
Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin has already pledged an equally aggressive schedule, saying he could start processing checks as soon as the legislation passes.
"I can make 50 million payments very quickly. A lot of it on people's direct accounts," Mnuchin said in August.
This includes those who signed up to receive a direct deposit refund when filing their 2018 and / or 2019 taxes, and it can also extend to the 14 million people who previously registered their details through two new online tools. that the IRS built this spring to collect bank and contact details.
The Treasury did not immediately respond to CNBC's request for comment on whether previously captured banking information would be reused, in the event of a second round of stimulus checks.
"It could speed up the process considerably," Boyens said. "But I don't know if the Treasury will determine if this information is reliable enough to do so."
Social security beneficiaries
If the compensation conditions remain the same as under the CARES Act, many people who receive Social Security or Supplementary Security Income (SSI) benefits will be entitled to full refunds.
But how quickly this money is received largely depends on whether the beneficiary is already using direct deposit to pay for their monthly benefits. If they do, the stimulus money will likely automatically be credited to their account.
If Social Security benefits are sent by mail, however, a longer wait is to be expected.
Checks and paper cards
For those who are eligible for a stimulus payment but haven't shared their bank details with the IRS, they can expect to receive a paper check or prepaid debit card instead.
The Treasury has the capacity to deliver five to seven million paper checks per week, in addition to checks for other federal programs.
During the first round of stimulus distribution, paper checks were sent in waves, starting in mid-April. The IRS and the Treasury have prioritized sending checks to people with the lowest incomes in the country, starting with people earning less than $ 20,000 a year.
Debit cards came later. They were posted from mid-May.
Closing the access gap
Even as a second stimulus payment nears approval, the IRS is still trying to reach people who were eligible for the first $ 1,200 stimulus check. Millions of people may still not have received their money.
"It's a big hole," Boyens said.
A study released in July by the Urban Institute showed that wealthy and white households received relief payments faster than black and Hispanic families, as well as low-income households.
IRS Commissioner Charles Rettig said during testimony before a House subcommittee in October that the agency has remained particularly focused on making payments to homeless people, who normally don't no obligation to report income or otherwise live their lives outside the normal lines. Communication.
"We worked with our partners to distribute EIP [Economic Impact Payment] awareness-raising material in 35 languages within these communities, "Rettig continued. "We have enlisted the help of hundreds of local community groups and religious organizations.
Holtzblatt says closing this access gap is critical.
"With a second round of payments, the IRS has more information on non-filers who have overcome these hurdles and should be able to send them payments faster," Holtzblatt said. "But reaching the remaining non-filers and ensuring they receive both rounds of payments remains a challenge."

Q: preload FLV in Actionscript 3? I'm working on a flash site with lots of video-based section-to-section transitions.  The transition videos themselves are only a few seconds long but are fairly weighty (~700kb) as they're very high-resolution; given the number of sections and section-to-section transition combinations (and therefore videos), preloading all of the transitions on initial site load isn't feasible.
What I'd like to do is have a quick load of each transition video on an as-needed basis; e.g., if you're in area A and click navigation for area B, the A->B video loads (only a few seconds' wait for most users) and is then played back.  However, I'd also like a quick loader graphic displayed as the transition loads, before it gets played back (something simple like a loadbar, but more than just a spinner or the like, as the sense of definite progress is important).
What's the best way to do this in Actionscript 3?  It was relatively straightforward in AS2 (http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/main/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=LiveDocs_Parts&file=00001036.html) but I've yet to see an simple solution for AS3.  I'm using standard code-based techniques for FLV playback in AS3 (NetConnection, NetStream, Video objects)--no FLVPlaybackComponents or similar.
Thanks a lot!

A: It's not much different in AS3. Just use a Timer instead of an interval. Were you having problems converting that code to AS3?

A: That example on Adobe's website still works, just prepend:
import flash.utils.setInterval;

Chris died in December 2006.
He was a young lad who lived in the Lake District and died in a car crash. When a family friend posted on the site that SambaApe had died, his last post on the site was tracked down and became a memorial. The posts from the original Rivals.net site are reproduced below.
The thread had 1517 replies in December 2007 when the new Rivals.net site launched. I have yet to retrieve the messages from the last site, but know that by closure on 1st July 2009 there were over 2,700 replies. I shall continue to try and retrieve those messages.
If this board was a human body, this would be the heart.
Bump up for Samba Chris, and all other dearly departed Baggies.


I'm born and raised in Southern California and it took a tourist to tell me about this place… probably because its in the heart of the touristy Hollywood and Highland.
My friends were visiting from the East Coast and saw this on a tv show and asked me to take them. Located off Hollywood and Highland, next door to Mel's Diner is this little museum. Here's a parking tip: Since it's right around the corner of El Capitan, park at the Hollywood and Highland center and if you can get validated (Ghirardelli will do it). You can park for 2 or 3 hours for $4… Which beats the $20 parking at Mel's!
We arrived at 11:30 on a Thursday and walked right in. There's no ticket booth but a woman sitting at a vintage desk. She explained there's 4 levels: the ground floor, the basement and 2 upper levels. This museum used to be the office for make up giant Max Factor, and the items displayed are real artifacts donated by industry people.
The ground floor had rooms dedicated to the Blonde room, the Brunette room, the "Brownette" room, and a Redhead room dedicated to the most famous mousy brown hair red-head: Lucille Ball. Sorry, no ethnic room like Asian, Latin, or African Americans. It is 1940/50, afterall.
There's a room with vintage photos of old Hollywood landmarks, legendary Hollywood stars and vintage media newspapers reporting the rise and fall of Hollywood stars.
In addition there are walls covered with hundreds of autographs obtained by self proclaimed "autograph hound" Joe Ackerman, memorabilia from famous pop culture movies like Star Wars, Star Trek, Hunger Games, Rocky, and more.
The basement is where the monsters, mummies and mayhem memorabilia were held. You're greeted by Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, and the great horror characters from Dracula, to Psycho contemporary villains from Silence of the Lambs to the Walking Dead.
The elevator was down so we walked up 3 flights to the Hollywood iconic costumes, from contemporary shows like Dancing With the Stars and RuPaul's Drag Racing, to vintage shows like Beverly Hillbillies, to pop movies like Pee Wee's Big Adventure.
Heading down to the second floor was an exhibit of Academy Award nominees, including animation like the Peanuts. There was an statuette of the Academy Award "Oscar" and statues of the Golden Globe.
The museum took about 2 hours. They have bathrooms on the 1st and 3rd floor, and they were actual bathrooms used by the Max Factor staff. There's no water fountain and food isn't allowed, but they offer a coupon for 10% off at Mel's next door.
The museum is worth a stop, especially if you're a Hollywood film and tv buff.Opened Wednesday to Sunday from 10:00-5:00. Parking is $20 if you park at Mels. There's street parking if you can find it, or park at Hollywood and Highland. It's $4 for 2 or 3 hours if you get validated at any shop. Hard Rock Cafe and the Ghiradelli's will validate.

Q: How can i iterate over elastic search results using angular? In my dashboard application am using elastic search to retrieve data, which retrieves data fine. Now i need to iterate over the data and get the result in the required way.
Here is my code,
routerApp.controller('SearchCtrl', function($scope, ejsResource) {

       var ejs = ejsResource('http://192.168.1.200:9200');

        var oQuery = ejs.QueryStringQuery().defaultField('Agent');

        var client = ejs.Request()
            .indices('nondomain_callrelatedinfo')
            .types('callrelatedinfos');

        $scope.search = function() {
            $scope.results = client
                .query(oQuery.query($scope.queryTerm || '*'))
                .doSearch();
            console.log($scope.results);

        };

    });

I have added a console.log in the results and it reuturns something like this,
Data:

when i iterate over hits, it says cannot read property of "hits" undefined
$scope.dataRetrieved= $scope.results.value.hits;
            for (var i = 0; i < $scope.dataRetrieved.length; i++) {
                console.log($scope.dataRetrieved[i]);
             };
            };

A: https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/function/angular.forEach
just nest your forEach:
angular.forEach(results, function(result, key) {
    angular.forEach(result, function(value, key) {
         this.push(key + ': ' + value);
    }, log);
}, log);

A: You should use the Promise object that the doSearch() returns :
client
    .query(oQuery.query($scope.queryTerm || '*'))
    .doSearch().then(function (resp) {
        var hits = resp.hits.hits;
        // do whatever
    }, function (err) {
        console.trace(err.message);
    });

Knowing angular, if you want to bind the result to $scope.result maybe a $timeout(function() {}) could also help.

A: $scope.results.hits.hits;
$scope.dataRetrieved= $scope.results.hits.hits;
        for (var i = 0; i < $scope.dataRetrieved.length; i++) {
            console.log($scope.dataRetrieved[i]);
         };
        };

the first hits is a object the second is your array. thats why the first hits has no property length

Mubenga's wife, Adrienne Makenda Kambana, said: "My children and I have waited a long time for this decision. We hope the CPS will now move this case forward quickly. We feel like we are another step closer to getting justice for Jimmy."
The three guards were arrested after Mubenga's death but in 2012 the CPS decided not to bring any charges. That decision was reviewed following an inquest into Mubenga's death last year in which a jury returned a verdict of unlawful killing after an eight-week hearing.
Malcolm McHaffie, of the CPS special crime division, said: "We have completed a fresh review of all of the evidence relating to the death of Jimmy Mubenga, including the new evidence arising from the inquest, and decided that three men should be prosecuted for manslaughter."
The CPS said it had decided not to prosecute G4S for corporate manslaughter as there was insufficient evidence.
"We have concluded that there is insufficient evidence to prosecute G4S for either offence and, due to the fact that related proceedings are now active, it would be inappropriate to comment further," it said in a statement.
Mubenga and his wife came to the UK in 1994. His family said that as a student leader in Angola he had fallen foul of the government and he had to flee. He was eventually granted exceptional leave to remain and he and his family, including five children, moved to Ilford, Essex.
In 2006 Mubenga was convicted of actual bodily harm and sentenced to two years in jail following a nightclub brawl. After serving his sentence he was transferred to an immigration detention centre and the process to deport him began.
On Thursday the family's solicitor, Mark Scott, welcomed the CPS's decision to prosecute the guards, adding: "It has been a three-and-a-half year struggle for the family to get to this point and they hope to get on with their lives once this final challenge is met."
The three guards are due to appear at Westminster magistrates court on 7 April.
Their solicitors said they would vigorously deny the charges. A statement on behalf of the men said: "My clients are very disappointed with the CPS decision, having previously been told after a very lengthy police investigation that no charges would be brought against them. They will be vigorously denying these charges in court."
Deborah Coles, co-director of the Inquest campaign group, which has supported Mubenga's family, said the CPS's decision "reiterates the importance of legal aid for families to be represented at inquests". "It is legal aid that ensured a robust examination of all the evidence, which has ultimately resulted in today's welcome decision. The cuts to legal aid mean that cases like this in the future may well not receive this kind of scrutiny."
Three G4S guards are being charged with manslaughter following the death of a man as he was being deported from the UK.
Jimmy Mubenga, 46, died after being restrained by the three on board a plane at Heathrow airport in October 2010.
On Thursday the Crown Prosecution Service said the guards Stuart Tribelnig, 38, Terry Hughes, 53, and Colin Kaler, 51, would ill be charged with manslaughter.
Malcolm McHaffie, deputy head of CPS special cCrime, said: "There is sufficient evidence for a realistic prospect of conviction and it is in the public interest to prosecute Colin Kaler, Terrence Hughes and Stuart Tribelnig."
The three guards were arrested following Mubenga's death but in 2012 the Crown Prosecution Service decided not to bring any charges against them.
That decision was reviewed following an inquest into Mubenga's death last year in which a jury returned a verdict of "unlawful killing" following an eight-week hearing.
McHaffie said: "We have completed a fresh review of all of the evidence relating to the death of Jimmy Mubenga, including the new evidence arising from the inquest, and decided that three men should be prosecuted for manslaughter.".
The CPS said it had decided not to prosecute G4S for corporate manslaughter.
The three guards are due to appear at Westminster mMagistrates' cCourt on 7 April.

February 13, 2014 CassMorrisWrites
This week, the New York Times published "Impatience Has its Reward: Books Are Rolled Out Faster", an article discussing the trend towards releasing book sequels faster and faster, three within a year or even all at the same time, to encourage "binge reading". It's a response to the way Netflix encourages binge watching.
A lot of people have been scrambling to frame this as a good thing, but I'm far from convinced. From a reader's perspective, it is perhaps good, in that "instant gratification" sort of way — but, as a reader, I worry tremendously that it will mean sacrificing quality in favor of quantity. People are holding up GRRM as an example of what happens when there's not enough pressure on a writer to get a story completed. I don't think he proves their point as well as they'd like, though. A Dance with Dragons may have taken him six years to write, but then they seem to have skimped on the editing. I understand the impulse — people had been waiting so long, they wanted to turn it from pen to profit as soon as possible. I got it the day it came out, and the first edition had at least five typos, not to mention that it just plain seems to have needed at least one more round of revisions, to scrape out some of the unnecessary repetitions and extraneous bits. Neither a fast nor a slow process guarantee you a good book — only good writing and good editing will do that.
I also know plenty of readers who "binge read" already. Just not in the same fashion. When I first started reading Julia Quinn's romance novels, it was two books into her Bridgerton series. There were six more yet to come. I didn't mind waiting for those — but in the meantime, I had her entire backlist to tear through. And then I started looking at the authors she liked, and the ones who liked her — Lisa Kleypas, Suzanne Enoch, Kat Martin — and then I got to tear through their backlogs. I've done the same thing with fantasy authors, with historical fiction, with thrillers. That's part of the joy of exploration, and I worry about discouraging that.
And, I worry about what this sort of release schedule will do to a series's ability to build a fandom. Part of the great joy of being in the Harry Potter fandom while the books were still being released was the waiting. It gave everything time to percolate — time to re-read and find new hints, time to speculate, time to introduce the series to new readers, time to adjust to new canon once it did come out. I feel like, if everything comes out so quick, new series won't have that chance to grow. Many may just find themselves as flashes in the pan, hot for a brief time, then quickly fading and forgotten. And how sad that would be.
As a writer, it concerns me even more than as a reader. One commenter on the article's breakdown on Jezebel characterized it as pretending to encourage binge reading, when really it's encouraging binge writing. I think that's precisely the right way to put it. Another expressed suspicions that this is more to cater to the movie industry than to readership, which is certainly not out of the realm of likelihood. Whoever's benefit it's for, it certainly doesn't seem to be the writer's.
Now, if an author really can turn out good work that quickly, and have it revised and edited and properly prepared for publication that quickly, then so much the better. But not everyone can. I would argue that most can't. Many of those authors who do have multiple books appear in a year have a team of ghost writers assisting them, from my understanding. I've been reading romance novels long enough to have seen that, when authors who've been on a book every 12-18 months suddenly start pushing to every 6, the quality suffers. I've actually really enjoyed watching Gail Carriger's career the past few years, because she's outright admitted when projects need more work, when trying to put out multiple books in a year has been damaging the quality of her work. I like that she's pushed back against the pressure.
More concerning still, this model would do a lot, I suspect, to push out those writers who cannot yet write full-time — ie, most writers. Under these expectations, your option is either to have a full trilogy finished before you start querying and then be able to devote the time to revising it as a whole as your agent and editor deem necessary — or else to sell the first book and know you'll be able to finish the other two within a year. If you're working a full-time job (or more) as well to pay the bills, that's less likely.
I've learned that, under optimal circumstances, I can write 3000-4000 words a day. I don't get optimal circumstances very often. Optimal means that I'm on vacation from my other two jobs, free of all other obligations. But even if I had the liberty and leisure to do that six days a week, even if I could turn out the minimum word count in a month or two, the book would still need further attention. Not all of those words would be good. Not all of them would be serve the story. The book would still need rounds of revision. Even if you're quick at that — as I believe I am — it still just takes time, going back and forth, re-reading what's there, making the changes. And I would still need to research at some point, and to read — because a writer has to read, to be a good writer. And all of that takes time.
Books take time. Books should take time. That's my thought on the matter.

The Invisible War – Screening
Posted on 11 Sep by Donnie
The Invisible War
A documentary film
Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Atlanta
Third Thursday Cinema, sponsored by the Peace Network
1911 Cliff Valley Way, NE
A $3.00 donation is suggested for the evening, which includes refreshments and a moderated discussion. The film will be shown in Room 210 at 7:00pm on September 19.
The Invisible War is a 2012 documentary film written and directed by Kirby Dick and produced by Amy Ziering and Tanner King Barklow about sexual assault in the United States military. It premiered at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival, where it received the U.S. Documentary Audience Award. The film was nominated for Best Documentary Feature at the 85th Academy Awards.
We urge you to join us in viewing this compelling film and becoming more informed about this issue that plagues both female and male military service personnel.
More details on "The Invisible War"
The Invisible War features interviews with veterans from multiple branches of the United States Armed Forces who recount the events surrounding their assaults. Their stories show many common themes, such as the lack of recourse to an impartial justice system, reprisals against survivors instead of against perpetrators, the absence of adequate emotional and physical care for survivors, the unhindered advancement of perpetrators' careers, and the forced expulsion of survivors from service.
Interspersed with these first person testimonies are interviews with advocates, journalists, mental health professionals, active duty and retired generals, Department of Defense officials, and members of the military justice system. The film also includes footage, often shot by the veterans themselves, which documents their lives and continuing struggles in the aftermath of their assaults.
In the film's most prominent narrative, Coast Guard veteran Seaman Kori Cioca struggles to earn benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs to pay for the many medical difficulties that have resulted from her rape. With the help of attorney Susan L. Burke, Cioca, along with other survivors featured in the film, brings a civil suit against the Department of Defense alleging a failure to adequately address sexual assault within the military.
Other past incidents of sexual abuse recounted in the film include the 1991 Navy Tailhook scandal, the 1996 Army Aberdeen scandal, and the 2003 Air Force Academy scandal. The Invisible War uses these examples to argue that the military has consistently made empty promises to address its high rate of sexual assault. These stories culminate with an examination of the previously unreported culture of sexual harassment and sexual assault at the prestigious Marine Barracks Washington.
The survivors and advocates featured in the film call for changes to the way the military handles sexual assault, such as shifting prosecution away from unit commanders, who often are either friends with assailants or are assailants themselves.

Wendy Bartlett Compositions - Sea Symphony (In Progress)
Sea Symphony (2010- ) – Full Orchestra
Wendy's second symphony in the works, Sea Symphony, is a three movement programmatic orchestral work, this time for full orchestra.
Written in loving memory of both of her parents, Glen and Kay Bartlett, who are joined in heaven after a long battle with Parkinson's, this upcoming work tells a story Wendy's father shared as a young sailor in 1952. Almost lost at sea when entering the path of a typhoon, her father's U.S. Naval ship and crew, after tossing and turning six days and nights, slowly maneuvered up the West Coast from the Hawaiian Islands to the Naval Shipyard in Bremerton, Washington USA (which apparently was the only naval shipyard with the sufficient facilities to repair her father's small aircraft carrier at that time).
Finally able to enjoy shore leave after several turbulent months at sea, Glen brings some shipmates ashore to his hometown of Seattle, where he meets Wendy's mother at Lincoln High School, their alma mater. And the rest, they say, is history.
Further inspiration for this project – although the film was set in WWII (not the Korean war) – includes viewing of "In Harm's Way," a black and white John Wayne file c. 1965, and pieces from Richard Rodgers/Robert Russell Bennett's arrangement of "Victory at Sea" c. 1959. One inspiring piece in particular is Song of the High Seas, as the winds rise for Typhoon (first movement of Sea Symphony).
Planned Movements:
Movement I. Typhoon
Movement II. On the Seventh Day (Largo)
Movement III. Romance

THE MAYA STONE MURDERS (Book 1)
Micah Dunn investigates a murderous plot to discredit an archaeologist
In steamy downtown New Orleans, Gregory Thorpe is presenting an exhibition that could rewrite the history of the ancient Mayans. But when fake artifacts begin appearing alongside the authentic ones, Thorpe's reputation is thrown into jeopardy. To trace the fraud, Thorpe hires Micah Dunn, a world-weary private detective whose tour in Vietnam cost him the use of one of his arms and provided fodder for decades of nightmares. PI work is boring, repetitive, and safe, but clearing Thorpe's name will expose Dunn to the kind of danger he thought he left behind in the jungle.
Dunn has experience working with archaeology, and he knows the field is cutthroat. Thorpe is not well liked on the Tulane campus, and any of his colleagues or grad students could be responsible for the fraud. When one of the suspects turns up dead, Dunn realizes that someone in New Orleans will kill to keep the Mayan past buried.
"A sympathetic hero, semi-exotic atmosphere, and fast-paced action keep the pages turning." —Library Journal
THE CAESAR CLUE (Book 2)
When his client is killed by a terrorist, Micah delves into her past
Until he gets the answering machine message, private detective Micah Dunn has never heard of Julia Morvant. Calling from Jamaica, she asks him to meet her at the New Orleans airport. She needs help, she says, and he can tell by her tone that she needs it badly. Dunn is a Vietnam vet whose left arm hangs uselessly at his side, but who excels in helping the desperate people who seem to flock to his city. He has just arrived at the airport when Morvant's plane explodes in midair. Between the fireball in the sky and the alligators below, there is no chance of survival.
The flight was bombed, and Dunn becomes obsessed with the idea that his prospective client was the target. He knew nothing about her, but in death he will come to know her intimately—and risk his life to honor her own.
"The Micah Dunn stories are among the more literate crime novels brewing in Louisiana…their author's interest in history, literature and archaeology add an unusual dimension to mysteries that are already a cut above the ordinary." –New Orleans Times-Picayune
DEEP KILL (Book 3)
Micah drifts into the underworld for the sake of a wrongfully accused friend
Micah Dunn knows Calvin Autry to be an honest man. He's also a fighter, persevering with his mechanic's shop even after his wife left him and his business turned sour. But today, he is a broken man. A neighborhood child has accused him of child molestation, and Calvin begs Micah to clear his name. A private detective whose time in Vietnam taught him how to fight dirty, Micah knows that proving Calvin's innocence will require him to fight dirtier than he ever has before.
Calvin's enemies include dissatisfied customers, a scheming landlord, and a rival mechanic out to destroy what's left of the Autry shop. But as Micah digs into Calvin's past, he finds his friend is not as honest as he appears. He may not be a child molester, but Calvin Autry could be guilty of something just as evil.
"M.K. Shuman has delivered an exceptional story set in New Orleans…well-written, thought-provoking mystery…A tight, taut story of private eye Micah Dunn's search for the truth." —Mystery News
THE LAST MAN TO DIE (Book 4)
An archaeological dig turns up a skeleton whose death is recent history
The beaches are full on this sunny Biloxi afternoon, but Micah Dunn has no appetite for sunbathing. Watching a group of scientists excavate an ancient Native American site along the Mississippi, the private detective's thoughts turn first to the archaeologist who broke his heart, and then to murder. Hoping for beads or pottery, the scientists have found a dirt-stained skeleton whose fillings tell them he was killed during the twentieth century, whose amputated leg suggests a veteran, and whose punctured skull says death by pistol.
The bones belonged to Max Chantry, a 1940s reform political candidate who disappeared under mysterious circumstances. But if New Orleans politicos killed him, why did he end up buried a state away? This case is ice cold, but solving it will put Dunn in the hot seat.
"A fast-paced mystery with several juicy murders and lots of New Orleans atmosphere and colorful characters, as well as an insider's understanding of Mayan archaeology. Shuman manages to keep the reader totally baffled until the denouement."
Baton Rouge Magazine on The Maya Stone Murders
"A sympathetic hero, semi-exotic atmosphere, and fast-paced action keep the pages turning."
Library Journal on The Maya Stone Murders
"A delightful cast of supporting characters…[Shuman] will certainly find an appreciative audience among readers who like their murder served with a certain Louisiana tang."
Booklist on The Maya Stone Murders
"The New Orleans background is fresh and interesting. Dunn is affable, gritty and attractive…"
Kirkus Reviews on The Caesar Clue
"This is the best yet. The reader feels Dunn's adrenaline flow increase with each close encounter…For an exciting murder mystery set in New Orleans…The Caesar Clue is excellent."
Baton Rouge Advocate on The Caesar Clue
"The Micah Dunn stories are among the more literate crime novels brewing in Louisiana…their author's interest in history, literature and archaeology add an unusual dimension to mysteries that are already a cut above the ordinary."

South African Fathers Will Now Get Paid Paternity Leave
Prior to the bill being passed, fathers could only get three days off–as family responsibility leave.
On Tuesday, a bill was passed in Parliament that will allow fathers to spend 10 working days at home after the birth of their child or children.
On Tuesday, the Labour Laws Amendment Bill was passed in the National Assembly in the South African Parliament. The bill will be getting reviewed by the National Council of Provinces.
The Labour Laws Amendment Bill, which was introduced by ACDP MP Cheryllyn Dudley, is the first private members' bill.
The bill also includes adoption leave which is 10 weeks. "If there are two adults involved, one can apply for the adoption leave, the other for the parental leave. It also applies to the agreements in terms of surrogacy and also just provides for where there is a stillbirth or miscarriage in the third trimester," Dudley told Radio 702 yesterday.
"Maternity leave of 4 months has been around 55% of salary. With this amendment, it goes to 66% of a person's salary, so it is not a full paid leave," said Dudley.

The Rising Nepal: Managing Heritage: Whose Job, Anyway?
When the country, society and people dream of, or for that matter, are actually entering an altogether new phase of development and change, there is always much confusion and less clarity about the plans, the moves, and the direction. If legal and host of other paper works are said to be only in 'pipeline', as they normally say, things become even more confusing and critical.
Good old Nepal entered the new 'federal' incarnation with the adoption of the new constitution. Despite the PM's confession while on a tour of a foreign country recently that the constitution remains to be amended and he would spare no efforts in that direction, people thought rightly that the Constitution of Nepal is there in place and nothing under the sun can create hurdle in its implementation. So his act of taking an oath standing next to his host and counterpart through his speech was indigestible here at home and there in the team itself. Do we have to tell the host that the once buried issue can/will be unearthed and prepare it for another operation? The PM should know better.
According to the Constitution, whether an amendment or not, the country is a Federal Democratic Republic. The Centre, the Federation and the Local are the three layers of Nepal's political-administrative structures. The first phase of elections have been over and preparation for the second or the last phase are almost complete according to the Election Commission. Once this one is done there will be a strong base of governance at the local level in place.
Thus far, Nepal lacks a 'system' that is efficient and that works. Several political changes, change of guards, passage of time and efforts to 'unleash' the forces of development, Nepal's overall performance whether in the human rights, per capita income or an expected growth in general, has remained very slow, to say the least. No leader, no government, and no political party has remained out of the power grip for a long time in recent years. It is like 'hide and seek' game in Nepal's politics - one players goes, another comes but doesn't survive and falls to make space for the other one in waiting.
With this backdrop, the writer wants to touch upon the current crisis faced the country and the people – heritage conservation/safeguarding and the lead authority to do so in the days to come.
The current laws have vested the authority to do so on the Ministry of Culture Tourism and Civil Aviation. Since this is a conjoint type ministry looking after tourism and aviation affairs also, it cannot pay full attention to cultural affairs of the country. That is the government's ministry can give only 33% attention to issues and matters related to culture. This is the crux of the problem in terms of planning and implementation of government policies and programs. It is the experience of people and institution working in the field of culture that the shared responsibility in this sector is highly inadequate considering the nature of our culture and heritage.
Several examples can be cited to show why and how but space doesn't allow the writer to do so. Therefore few examples will suffice. In the aftermath of the mega quake, the government constituted the National Reconstruction Authority (NRA) and gave full autonomy with responsibility to proceed with the serious task of rebuilding the settlement lost to quake, renovate and reconstruct the heritages and complete the task in a given time frame.
China, India, US, Sri Lanka, EU, other nations came forward and extended their support for the reconstruction of our tangible heritage such as shrines, palaces, courtyards, museums and other structures. But so far very few models and drawings have been approved. Works on a large number of structures have not been decided as yet. Lately, PRC has been given responsibility to reconstruct the nine-storey Hanumandhoka Palace at Basantpur.
Compared to the urgent need of reconstruction this is a small beginning, if it begins at all. The donor agencies, foreign governments included, seem to be facing some kind of dilemma. They are monitoring the development at the reconstruction sector and hesitating to come forward with their already committed resources. When some artists can build a whole big village, or reach out to people with the urgently needed resources, the government's preparation and actual presence seems weaker. This is one reason why donors are not trusting the government basket.
In few cases, the central government, the local government and the public confronted each other. The feud came out on the surface and made the watchers unhappy. Whether the Kasthamandap or the Matsyendranatha shrine of Bungmati, the locals showed not only their concerns and resents but their muscles as well (esp. in the case of the former). They fully neglected the authority of the local government and proposed their own plan for the reconstruction of the site. While the people's interest and enthusiasm must be appreciated, it can also be considered that eveyone's job will end up in 'no man's job'. So the local government, the Metropolitan city, is going to take the lead. When in cases like that the local governments come forward, a system can be visible in place.
In fact, gradually a time will come when the local governments will play vital role in terms of 'owning' the heritages of the territory through a 'system'. They will have to create a unit comprised of trained manpower to look after the sector. Only after the installation of a system one can see things rolling on as planned. Then cases like the hair raising fanfare at Ranipokhari or other places will not occur. Whose heart didn't shed blood after watching a huge bulldozer going down to the indigenously prepared water supply and depository system and bulldozing around wildly?
Finally, a clear job description and a jurisdiction settlement is a must in the days to come. Did anyone ordering the bulldozer at Ranipolkhari think even for the slighest part of a second that the 'kan cha' working as the natural plaster on the surface of Ranopokhari would not stand the heavy pressure of the equipment and allow to disturb the system and create millions of poruses instead? The role of the people is vital in many such matters but the local authorities with proper technicians and plans in place will gradualy take the lead and preserve our heritage – tangible and intangible. This is tne need of the hour.

Discussion in 'HOWTO-Related Questions' started by pwaterz, Apr 1, 2009.
I have been following the tutorial on Virtual Users And Domains With Postfix, Courier, MySQL And SquirrelMail (Ubuntu 8.10), and I am stuck on step where you have to telnet into local host. when I try to telent localhost pop3 this is my output. Also FYI i am running Jaunti not intrepid.
anyone have any idea on what's going?
Check /etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_domains.cf to see if your mysql connection settings are correct.
Try ps ax | grep postfix to see if postfix is running.
and see if you get any errors.
no errors but process does not start, do you know where the error log would be for this?
I managed to fix my problem, i didn't have courier-pop installed, kinda wired but it worked. Now went through the rest of the tutorial and I am still having problems with mysql connecting to the database. I can't log in. Anyone know where to start looking to figure this problem out?
If you get a "database changed" message, then your database exists.
to see if the user you created for postfix works (you'll have to enter the password you set in the postfix configuration).
This probably means there-s something wrong with the tables in your database. You could try to drop your database and redo the 4th chapter from the tutorial (Create The MySQL Database For Postfix/Courier).
One thing I noticed is that imapd is connecting to ::1, which i think is ipv6 of localhost. Is this right? Anyone know what's going on?
Does [email protected] exist in the database?
so I believed that it is setup right.
I have a question, on the second page of this tutorial it tell you to specifiy a FQDN. I choose mailbox.lightondesings.com and I created this domain in virtualmin. Is that the correct thing to do?
Please compare your setup with the tutorial again. Maybe you made a typo somewhere.
Yea i figured it out, I had one of my domains spelled wrong in my mysql database. Everything is working great.
Except for one thing with squirrelmail. If I try to enable the mysql change password plugin. I can't login to squirellmail, just get a blank screen. This isn't that big of deal cause I can just change the passwords manually.
// (including domain), such as "[email protected]"
// any domain portion), such as "jose"
// except %4 will have double quotes around it and %5 will not.
// and %5 will not.
// port number here. Set to zero otherwise.
LoL, just saw the error, under password part a ');' needed to be commeneted out.

Pitfalls that Raila must avoid if he wants to win State House next year
By Oscar Obonyo | November 21st 2021

Although he is yet to formally announce his interest, political observers are in agreement that ODM leader Raila Odinga's presidential bid is this time around more potent than previous attempts at clinching the top seat.
In the words of Junet Mohamed, a close ally of Raila and National Assembly's Minority Whip, the Orange party boss has the best opportunity ever to clinch the presidency because this time he has emerged as a compromise candidate.
"Unlike in the previous campaigns, Kenyans from all corners – including from areas that were initially hostile to us – have embraced Baba's candidature and are happily according him good reception. It is exciting," Junet told The Sunday Standard.
Shrewd Ruto all set for his role as next Opposition leader
Digital lawlessness could threaten our upcoming polls
Revealed: Ruto power plan with Mudavadi, Wetang'ula
Raila Odinga: I'm nobody's project, I'm my own man
Ironically, Raila's chances have unwittingly been boosted by his political nemesis and presumed biggest rival for the top seat, Deputy President William Ruto – thanks to the latter's alleged rebellion against his boss, President Uhuru Kenyatta.
Ideally, it is the frosty relations between the two and the DP's resilience and political acumen that have given room to Raila to rise and shine. According to political observers, it requires an equally tough Raila to tame Ruto.
But it is not yet the time to pop the champagne bottle – thanks to fears that the pitfalls that have dogged Raila's previous campaigns may just reoccur or be reenacted.
Asked whether he will be teaming up with his ODM counterpart in next year's poll, for instance, Ford Kenya party leader, Moses Wetang'ula, could not offer a straight answer.
"I have twice supported his presidential bid and if he reaches out to me again and convinces me, as a member of his previous team who has walked with him through a tiring and painful journey, I will consider his word. But where is he? Has he sought my audience on this yet or does he just expect me to follow him without persuasion because he considers me a junior partner?" poses the Bungoma Senator.
Wetang'ula, who served as Raila's co-principal in two successive coalitions – CORD in 2013 and NASA in 2017 – is particularly irked by the actions of some of the former premier's handlers and party officials. And he singles out Secretary General Edwin Sifuna, whom he accuses of politically demeaning him.
However, Sifuna maintains that he holds Wetang'ula in high esteem as his senior in politics and even in the legal profession. He maintains that everything he does or says, with regard to politics, is in his capacity as the spokesman of the Orange party and not in his individual capacity.
"I am simply doing my duty and even the Holy book says there is a time to scatter and a time to gather. If in his assessment I have been scattering, then I am certain the time for gathering may be in the offing. When that happens, I can assure my brother Wetang'ula and others that the same vigour that has been used to allegedly scatter you shall be employed to gather you around Baba (Raila)," says the ODM secretary general.
Indeed, the view by Wetang'ula, is shared by a number of political players, including some who consider Raila's character borders on hubris – a personality quality of extreme pride or dangerous overconfidence, which some claim, rightly or wrongly, has impacted negatively on his political career.
But Junet argues that politics is all about mutual interests and reaching out to each other. While he admits that his party boss has not publicly reached out to Wetang'ula and other One Kenya Alliance (OKA) principals, including former vice presidents, Musalia Mudavadi (ANC) and Kalonzo Musyoka (Wiper), as well as Baringo Senator, Gideon Moi (Kanu), the Suna East MP holds that political overture is a two-way traffic.
"Even then, a lot of things are happening behind the cameras. I mean, how can you comfortably conclude that nothing is happening?" Junet poses.
Separately, Nominated MP David Sankok singles out Raila, as a leader who to some, may project the image of a tribalist. Citing the example of Opposition parliamentary leadership, which is dominated by members from Nyanza, Sankok observes the move could cost the former PM dearly in terms of support in western and coastal regions that have traditionally supported him.
And because he has been around much longer than most of his political opponents, the former PM also comes with a lot of baggage. He is accused widely – rightly or wrongly –of backstabbing and betraying others. In Mt Kenya region, for instance, he has been the political boogeyman, (mis)used by opponents to scare away voters from supporting him.
"Right from the 1982 coup attempt against the (Daniel arap) Moi regime to the 2007 poll mayhem, Kenyans know him as one with a huge appetite for power," states Sankok, an ardent supporter of Ruto.
While Sankok's sentiments are not entirely true, they form a bulk of perceptions built around Raila. Either way, Prof Luke Odiemo, a sociology lecturer at the University of Nairobi, concurs that the perceptions have over the years hurt Raila's bid.
According to the sociologist, Raila's quest for the top job has similarly been bedeviled by his militancy against the government of the day, coupled with initial flirtation with the communism: "But thanks to his advanced age (76), Raila has no room for violent approach to politics. A man of his age is more interested in ensuring systems work for citizens and securing his legacy than staging protest riots – factors which make him an attractive candidate for the government operatives as well as influential foreign governments."
Apart from 1997, when he made his debut in the presidential race in what he amusingly referrers to as a 'test drive', Raila has never actually been an underdog, except of course for the fact that he has twice run against an incumbent.
In 1997, he was just trying out under the National Development Party (NDP), but in 2007, he was a force to reckon with, surrounded by the so-called leading lights who included now DP Ruto, Mudavadi, Kitui Governor Charity Ngilu, Tourism Cabinet Secretary Najib Balala and the late Joseph Nyagah, a one-time minister.
Although he staged a thrilling campaign across the country and supporters believe he was robbed of victory, Raila's critics allege he did not work hard enough to woo Kalonzo to his side, before and after the chaotic poll – a factor that would have strengthened his case.
In 2013, running as an incumbent PM alongside Kalonzo who was VP, the pair is accused of failing badly to protect its win, especially in Mt Kenya and the Rift Valley regions, the strongholds of rivals Uhuru and Ruto. Raila's chief campaigner, Eliud Owallo, admitted then to the anomaly of not dispatching party agents to most polling stations in those regions.
Some have attributed this complacency to overconfidence on the part of the candidate, his key campaigners and supporters. While admitting these lapses, ODM politicians have nonetheless claimed that their victory was stolen from them.
But perhaps the darkest spot in Raila's corner is the chaotic party primaries. It is this perception of a shambolic process that has scared away many party supporters.
Already fears of the exercise in Nairobi are peaking with Ziwani's Member of County Assembly, Millicent Wambui Mugadi, appealing to Raila's party to shake off the violence tag, with a view to attract new members.
Sifuna partly attributes the mayhem in the party primaries to the fact that ODM is a national and popular outfit. And he points an accusing finger at politicians, and not the party secretariat.
To address this, Sifuna says aspirants are being encouraged to embrace consensus.
The pitfalls notwithstanding, Raila's campaign is getting steadier and is expected to be on a roll after December 9 when he is expected to formally plunge into the race.
The ODM leader is also receiving support from people – some of who have previously fought off his presidential bid. He is reportedly destined to get financial support from some Mt Kenya billionaires, operating under the aegis of Mount Kenya Forum.

Q: How can you retrieve webpages based on URLs and convert each to a beautifulsoup object So I am scraping a website I was able to get all the information thanks to Andrej Kesely, I was also able to syntheses URLs that downloaded the first 50 pages, however now I want to retrieve the webpages based on the URLs and convert them into a beautifulsoup and I also want to retrieve all the information and the URL(href) to access the detailed car information.
I am new to python and website scraping so I really don't know where to start but here is the code for that syntheses the first 50 pages of the website
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import requests
import os
for i in range(1, 50):
    response = requests.get(f"https://jammer.ie/used-cars?page={i}&per-page=12")
    with open(f"example{i}.html", "w" , encoding="utf-8") as fp:
        fp.write(response.text)

urls = []
prices = []
makes = []

# for loop index by i
with open(f"example{i}.html", "r") as fp:
    webpage = fp.read()

soup = BeautifulSoup(webpage, "html.parser")

tables = soup.find_all('div', {"class": "span-9 right-col"})

len(tables[0].contents)

for it in tables[0].contents[1:]:
    if it == "\n":
        continue
    for jt in it.findall('div', class_="col-lg-4 col-md-12 car-listing"):
        price = jt.find('p', class_="price").text
        make = jt.find('h6', class_="car-make").text
        url = f"https://jammer.ie/used-cars?page={i}&per-page=12"
        urls.append(url)
        prices

I know I must make a beautifulsoup object but I really don't know what to do if you could please explain what to do it would be great thanks
I want to have it where I'm able to
Retrieve the webpages based on these URLs and convert each into a beautifulsoup object and
Retrieve Car Manufacturing Year, Engine, Price, Dealer information (if it is available), and the URL (href) to access the detailed car information.

A: To iterate over multiple pages you can do:
import requests
import pandas as pd
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

url = "https://jammer.ie/used-cars?page={}&per-page=12"

all_data = []

for page in range(1, 3):  # <-- increase number of pages here
    soup = BeautifulSoup(requests.get(url.format(page)).text, "html.parser")

    for car in soup.select(".car"):
        info = car.select_one(".top-info").get_text(strip=True, separator="|")
        make, model, year, price = info.split("|")
        dealer_name = car.select_one(".dealer-name h6").get_text(
            strip=True, separator=" "
        )
        address = car.select_one(".address").get_text(strip=True)

        features = {}
        for feature in car.select(".car--features li"):
            k = feature.img["src"].split("/")[-1].split(".")[0]
            v = feature.span.text
            features[f"feature_{k}"] = v

        all_data.append(
            {
                "make": make,
                "model": model,
                "year": year,
                "price": price,
                "dealer_name": dealer_name,
                "address": address,
                "url": "https://jammer.ie"
                + car.select_one("a[href*=vehicle]")["href"],
                **features,
            }
        )

df = pd.DataFrame(all_data)

Survey shows students cycle enthusiasm needs supported by Infrastructure – McGuigan
3 September, 2020 - by Philip McGuigan
Sinn Féin MLA Philip McGuigan has called on the Infrastructure Minister to invest in cycling infrastructure.
The North Antrim MLA was speaking following the publication of the Young Persons' Behaviour and Attitudes Survey for Traveling to and From School factsheet.
Philip McGuigan said:
"This survey indicates that only three percent of students cycle as part of their journey to and from school even though over half of young people live less than three kilometres from their school.
"This is a really disappointing statistic and clearly a result of a lack of safe, cycle only infrastructure.
"Compare this to Dutch travel surveys, which can show that around a third of primary school children might cycle two to three kilometres to school.
"We need the right infrastructure in place to facilitate a healthier travelling culture as a positive investment in our young people, our future and our environment.
"I have written to the Minister for Infrastructure to reflect on these underwhelming statistics and to urge her to prioritise the promotion of active travel for students moving forward."
