More than a few baseball fans scoff when Hillary Clinton pretends to be a Yankee fan. They suspect President Obama is pandering when he wears a Chicago White Sox jacket. And they don't cut George W. any slack because he once owned the Texas Rangers. These bleacher bums boo any politician who shows up at the ballpark, and generally mistrust the politics of baseball. For them, Opening Day is an appropriate time to hoist an overpriced stadium brew and curse the name of Art Gorman, a sociable slugging third baseman for the Washington Nationals who first encouraged the the close relationship between presidents and the national pastime nearly 150 years go. Baseball, as we all know, exudes honorable traditions, comforting rituals, and (per Doris, Ken, and George) eternal verities. But the pastime has also been known to indulge hype, humbug, and trickery. And the forgotten story of Arthur Pue Gorman combines them all.
In the spring of 1865, Gorman, 26 years old, was penciled in as the starting third baseman for the Washington National Baseball Club of Washington. The Nationals competed on a grassy expanse just south of the White House known as the President's Grounds (the area now known as The Ellipse). Off the diamond, Gorman was ambitious. As a boy he had worked as a page on Capitol Hill, ingratiating himself with Illinois Congressman Stephen Douglas, the windy pro-slavery statesman from Illinois, and Andrew Johnson, the politically ambidextrous Senator from Tennessee who had been elected Vice President under President Abraham Lincoln the previous fall.
Gorman politicized the game for the best of reasons: to escape the doldrums of civil war. During the war years, the National nine flourished with a solid corps of excellent players who had somehow dodged the conscription of not one, but two, armies. The club's president was Edmund French, who "managed the second base beautifully," according to one reporter, but couldn't hit a lick. Gorman, the vice president and public spokesman, was a slugger who tended the hot corner with aplomb and substituted spectacularly in center field. Ace pitcher H.P. Williams, who threw an intimidating curveball (known as a "twister"), served as the club's secretary. Since the Nationals had less than two hundred dollars in the bank, Williams's check-signing duties did not unduly tax his pitching arm. And the fans stayed away in droves. Gorman wanted, in the lingo of the day, "to keep up the shake," i.e. stimulate public interest to draw more paying customers.
As always, Opening Day 1865 came with the feelings of hope and renewal. The merciful end of the Civil War had been followed by the tragic assassination of President Lincoln. Suddenly Gorman's friend Andrew Johnson was president of the United States. To attract bigger crowds, the Nationals built amphitheater-style seating around the diamond on President's Ground, including a viewing stand where women would feel welcome. Gorman and Co. laid down chalk baselines for the first time and persuaded Eb Smith, a slick-fielding shortstop from the Enterprise Club in Brooklyn, to join their team. And at a time when most clubs were charging ten cents for admission to the sidelines, the Nationals started charging a dollar. In his own way, Art Gorman helped write the modern owner's playbook: build a new stadium, sign free agents, expand the fan base, and jack up ticket prices.
The Nationals called themselves "the champions of the South," an appropriately modest moniker because most fans knew the best teams in the nation hailed from the North. The two national powerhouses of the game were the Athletic Base Ball Club of Philadelphia and the Atlantic Club from Brooklyn, New York. With the Athletics scheduled for a two-game series with the Nationals starting on August 28, 1865, Gorman made his front-office move. He put aside his bat and traveled north to Brooklyn for a friendly meeting with the Atlantics. He offered to pay all their travel expenses if they would come to Washington while the Athletics were in town. The Atlantics accepted. Gorman wanted to create a tournament of the nation's top teams so as to determine a national champion.
Gorman, a flamboyant host who paid the visitors' substantial bar bill at the Willard Hotel on Pennsylvania Avenue, succeeded in drawing the biggest crowd ever seen at Washington ballgame. With thousands—not hundreds—of people in attendance, one wide-eyed scribe reported the stands were "filled with the belles of the Capital and the beauty and fashion of the city." The visiting nine ungraciously pounded their nervous hosts 87 to 12. Meanwhile, the Atlantics were crushing the Empire Club, also from New York, 55 to 3. But when it came time for the Atlantics to play the Athletics, the Philadelphia team balked. They would not make any money off of game at the President's Ground—the Nationals would keep the gate receipts—and they already had a game scheduled in Baltimore. Gorman stayed up all night trying to cut a deal to satisfy both teams but he failed. The Athletics left town. Gorman's prescient dream of a playoff system was thwarted by a problem that still plagues the game: revenue-sharing.
The consolation prize—and it was a modest one for the players—was a visit to see Gorman's friend, the President of the United States. On August 30, 1865, Gorman escorted the Atlantics to the presidential mansion where they met Andrew Johnson. It was the first time a U.S. president had ever associated himself with the game some called the national pastime, and it was predictably awkward. The president, of course, was harassed by visitors, and pleaded the usual "urgent business" as the reason he had skipped their game. He promised to attend a contest soon.
Johnson made good on his promise on Opening Day 1867, perhaps because he was in trouble with the Republican majority in Congress for abandoning President Lincoln's policy of reconstructing the South. Gorman ushered Johnson and his entourage to cushioned chairs parked along the first base line of the National's new home field on Capitol Hill to watch the Nationals play the Athletics. The visitors again pounded the home team but Johnson got a political boost. When the newspapers reported his attendance, at least twenty baseball clubs around the country wrote to offer him honorary memberships. Johnson, facing impeachment proceedings, needed all the public support he could get. Associating himself with the popular pastime helped but not enough to save him from being turned out of office in 1868.
Gorman benefited more. The Nationals attracted more fans, netted a bigger gate, and generated free publicity for the Nat's upcoming Western road trip, where they went 9-1. When the season was over, Gorman was elected president of the National Base Ball Player Association. The group promptly banned African-Americans from membership. The national pastime would remain bifurcated by skin color for the next 80 years.
The presidential blessing of baseball continued in 1869 when Johnson's successor, Ulysses Grant, invited the Cincinnati Red Stockings to the White House. In 1883, President Chester Arthur did the same for Forest City Club of Cleveland, taking the occasion to offer the historically dubious claim that "good ballplayers make good citizens." Arthur's successor Grover Cleveland personally liked baseball players but worried voters would think his attendance at a game was a waste of time. William McKinley was invited to throw out the first pitch but didn't show. McKinley was the last president to resist the siren call of baseball. As cameras improved, every chief executive in the 20th and 21st century found baseball an irresistible venue for flattering photo ops. The rest is public relations history.
As for Art Gorman, he parlayed his political baseball connections into a long career in Maryland politics, getting himself elected to the U.S. Senate on three different occasions. A conservative Democrat, he favored protectionist tariffs for his big business allies. When the never-quite successful National baseball club of Washington rebranded themselves as the Senators in the 1890s, Gorman got the credit. He was dubbed "the original Washington Senator," thus giving birth to the modern franchise that went on to become one of the losingest clubs of the 20th century.
Gorman died in 1906 and was mercifully forgotten. But if you see a 21st century presidential contender wearing a Major League Baseball cap, he's the guy to blame.

Women of the Civil Rights Movement
Women of the Civil Rights Movement, 1954-1965
Edited by David Houck and David Dixon (Jackson: University of Mississippi Press, 2009)
Historians have long agreed that women--black and white--were instrumental in shaping the civil rights movement. Until recently, though, such claims have not been supported by easily accessed texts of speeches and addresses. With this first-of-its-kind anthology, Davis W. Houck and David E. Dixon present thirty-nine full-text addresses by women who spoke out while the struggle was at its most intense.
Beginning with the Brown decision in 1954 and extending through the Voting Rights Act of 1965, the editors chronicle the unique and important rhetorical contributions made by such well-known activists as Ella Baker, Fannie Lou Hamer, Daisy Bates, Lillian Smith, Mamie Till-Mobley, Lorraine Hansberry, Dorothy Height, and Rosa Parks. They also include speeches from lesser-known but influential leaders such as Della Sullins, Marie Foster, Johnnie Carr, Jane Schutt, and Barbara Posey.
Nearly every speech was discovered in local, regional, or national archives, and many are published or transcribed from audiotape here for the first time. Houck and Dixon introduce each speaker and occasion with a headnote highlighting key biographical and background details. The editors also provide a general introduction that places these public addresses in context. Women and the Civil Rights Movement, 1954-1965 gives voice to stalwarts whose passionate orations were vital to every phase of a movement that changed America. — (Univ of Washington Pr)

Hi, Many thanks for taking the time and trouble to let me know that you enjoyed the first Booker & Cash title. I had a lot of fun writing it. I hope that the other two currently available also give you some reading pleasure.
PS Apologies for the tardiness of my response to your comment. For some reason I just didn't see it and I don't log onto my webpage that often these days.
Hi Siobhan, Many thanks for your comment. So pleased to learn that you enjoyed the series. It is a true compliment that you came to view Tom and Joy as 'friends'. Thank you.
I have thoroughly enjoyed your Romney and Marsh books – there are not many books which make me laugh out loud, and I had a tear in my eye when Peter Grimes died – and am really sorry to read that you are undecided about writing more. The Romney and Marsh story in Three Short Blasts was the funniest thing I have read for ages. Please write more of them! I am now moving on to your Booker and Cash novels with high hopes.
Hi Pat, Many thanks for your welcome comment and kind words. I had a great deal of fun writing the R&M Files and it's always good to hear from readers who share my sense of humour. I originally wrote the short story in Three Short Blasts as a stage play, a musical actually, with my own songs. I would die happy if I could see DI Romney bursting into a song about tramps on the stage.
Here's hoping that the B&C titles reward the investment of your reading time.


A quiet week here on the blog. I spent a few days with my mom and arrived back home ahead of the snowstorm that arrived a day later. It's safe to say that winter is here!
I don't have any more books that need to be reviewed in January so it will continue to be quiet for a couple of weeks. February is fully scheduled though so please watch for my take on some really good books!
Lovely picture, Mary! Glad you got home before the snow hit and enjoy your quiet reading (whatever you'd like to read). Take care.
It's been quiet around here too. I'm glad you got to see your mom before the snow. Happy reading, Mary!
I will look forward to you upcoming books and reviews! The book you mentioned today looks especially good. I really want to read it!
I'd like to read that C Hyde- Ryan book! We got your snow last night 5-6" and now sleet. Have a great week Mary.
I have two Catherine Ryan Hyde books to read…and I like the sound of Have You Seen Luis Velez?
The snow is pretty, but it often brings trouble, doesn't it?
Enjoy your week, and thanks for visiting my blog. It is nice to have a month without a lot of scheduled reads.
You are well ahead of your review books, I like that. Love what the snow storm left behind. I'd so love to be inside reading looking out at that.
Yes, winter has definitely arrived! The storm is here too and it's a good time to stay inside where it's warm. Hope you enjoy your new book. Happy reading!
We enjoy the same books, and I am looking forward to seeing which ones are coming up.
Wonderful you were able to spend time with your mother.
I hope you enjoy your new book. Nice that you got to visit with your mother and get home safely. The winter picture is lovely although I wouldn't like the cold.
This new book sounds amazing. Hope you enjoyed your visit. I'm glad you made it back safely.
I'm looking forward to reading The Cliff House… RaeAnne Thayne is on of my fav writers.
Glad you got to spend time with your mom and made it back before the snowstorm. I like the look of your new book. Hope you enjoy it.
The snow looks so pretty, enjoy your week and happy reading. I am a fan of Catherine Ryan Hyde's work.
Your snow is so pretty. Enjoy the rest of your relaxing January.
I can't wait to see what you have in February. I am looking forward to read your thoughts on The Cliff House. It is on my list.
I've just added 'Have you seen Luis Velez?' To my TBR. It sounds lovely and maybe a bit sad. I'm looking forward to getting hold of a copy.
Glad to see you got home before the storm! The snow is so lovely but whew! Glad we don't get it too often. lol Happy reading!
Sadly enough, winter's here too. Happy reading!

Q: How to make image nested in div fill the remaining space on the page? I'm learning CSS and got stuck creating a layout that contains a header and an image that fills the rest of the screen. Using the following code, I'm able to achieve what I'm looking for:

html, body {
  height: 100%;
  margin: 0;
}

.container {
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
  height: 100%;
}

.image-container {
  flex: 1;
}

img {
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
  object-fit: contain;
}

Test Page

Now the problem is that I want to wrap the image element into a div as I'd like to position an overlay on top of the image. As soon as I nest the img within a div, the resizing doesn't work properly anymore. If the screen is wide, the image overflows to the bottom, creating a vertical scrollbar.
I've tried a lot of things, but nothing's worked so far. Can you explain to me why introducing the div (image-container) changes the layout and how to make it behave like the version without the div? That'd be great, thanks in advance!
EDIT:
I want the image to be displayed exactly like in the snippet I posted. It should be as large as possible, but only so large that the whole image is still visible and nothing is cropped. For a wide window, there should be blank bars left and right of the image. For a narrow but tall window, there should be blank bars above/beyond the image.
My issue is that as soon as I add the
, the image always takes the whole width. For a wide window, I get scrollbars and can't see the whole image anymore. I'd like to know how I can get the image to scale like in the version without the additional
. I'd also like to understand why adding the
 changes how the image is scaled.
EDIT 2:
Someone suggested to add overflow: hidden; on .image-container, but deleted their answer. This does in fact work (overflow: hidden/scroll/auto; work, overflow: visible; does not), but now I'm completely confused to why that's the case. I thought that overflow would control if overflow is visible, but wouldn't affect the size of the content being displayed. In this case though, it seems like the overflow property does have an effect on the size of the picture being displayed. That's weird and if anyone knows what's going on, please let me know!

A: Flex is already helping the image take up as much space as possible, so the height: 100% and width: 100% were causing the image to grow.
For getting something to appear on top of the image, I would recommend looking into position: absolute or position: relative

html,
body {
  height: 100%;
  margin: 0;
}

.container {
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
  height: 100%;
}

.image-container {
  display: flex;
  justify-content: center;
}

img {
  object-fit: contain;
}

One of the joys of being the curator of costumes here is that as well as pieces which have been beautifully kept, we also get what I love to think of as 'orphans of the storm'. That is to say, pieces that people have kept despite them having been hugely damaged at some point in their previous lives. We have several pieces like this, one of the ones which is intriguing is a lady who said 'I have brought you this brown paper parcel, wich you can do whatever you want with'. On opening it, we found the remnants of an absolutely beautiful very early Kashmir shawl – 'my husband was an art teacher', she said, 'and one of his exercises for primary children was to get them to bring a piece of material or textile, which they could then, in one of his classes, paint over. This particular year, one of the pupils turned up with a parcel and said: this is from my granny for me to paint on. My husband almost choked: in it was the said Kashmir shawl. I don't think so, son, he said, and gave the boy a scrap of cotton to paint on. After the class, he said to the pupil: take this back to your grandmother, and say thank you very much but it's not quite what we were looking for on this occasion. The next day, the boy came back and said 'my granny doesnae want it, dae whit you like with it'. Unable to think of what he could do with it, he brought it home and put it in the attic. Twenty years later I am faced with clearing the house, and we still don't know what to do with it, but a friend suggested we bring it to you'. So I thanked them, did the paperwork, and opened the parcel.
Gossamer fine, it is probably sadly beyond repair, but it awaits conservation and repair, if possible, at the hands of Madame Picard, or Rachel as we call her, our conservatrice extraordinaire!
In the meantime, we are celebrating literally with a bottle of champagne and glasses all round the completion of what also threatened to be an impossible task. Several years ago, a lady from Maybole or thereabouts brought the most amazing lace bed cover, which she had acquired from her grandmother, whom she believed was responsible for creating it. In the meantime, it had fallen upon hard times and the first photograph shows its potential beauty, if only we could repair the all too frequent damage.
After seeing it mounted temporarily like the photograph above, Rachel announced that she would repair it. So after many discussions and differences of opinion, which you may like to comment on, she began …. I think it was made by hand, Madame says no, it is machine made, and then assembled by hand. But, I finally ask myself, does it really matter? When it is just beautiful to look at. So anyway she began, and after six months of not constant work but enough to fill five days a week on and off, Rachel finally after what was for us watching absolutely astonishing skills, she announced that it was complete.
And we are delighted to be able to show you the newly repaired bedspread. Another treasure saved.

The Oedipus Story Essay
Updated: Jul 6th, 2020
The Growth of Pride
Possible Alternative Explanations
We will write a custom Essay on The Oedipus Story specifically for you
An examination of the story of Oedipus reveals a certain degree of hubris among the characters which I believe is an integral theme within the story that lead to the start and culmination of most of the events that occurred.
What you have to understand is that in most of the Greek stories that I have read, such as Hercules, the story of Troy and the Odyssey, those who exult themselves, place themselves above all others or state that they are on the same level as the Gods often meet tragic and ironic ends. As such, it can almost be expected that characters within a Greek tragedy who exhibit such characteristics often end up in adverse circumstances.
In the case of Oedipus his fate resulted in one of the most tragic ends of all wherein he killed his father and married his mother. The concept of pride is crucial within this story and as I elaborate more on this point it will be immediately apparent as to why Oedipus readily believed the drunk who tells him that Polybus and Merope are not his real parents, but will not believe the famous and reliable prophet Teiresias.
First and foremost, when you examine the story of Oedipus it can be seen in certain parts of the Greek play that Oedipus places such distinctions on himself as "the man who all men call great" or "the greatest man in all men's eyes". Such titles of course come as a direct result of his defeat of the Sphinx, his marriage to Jocasta and him being crowned king of Thebes. This method of distinction that Oedipus places upon himself is based on a considerable degree of pride as a direct result of his accomplishments.
As such, when presented with the words of the prophet Teiresias stating that he was the murderer of Laius, Oedipus does not readily believe them since his pride in himself would not allow him to do so. He labels the words of Teiresias as falsehoods and even accuses his friend (who is also unknowingly his uncle) Creon of instigating such lies. This particular behavior is in direct contrast to his earlier attitude involving his adoptive parents, Polybus and Merope.
In this earlier instance, he readily believed the words of a drunk (who stated that Polybus and Merope were not his true parents) as well as believed the words of the Oracle of Delphi who repeated the same prophecy given to Laius and Jocasta. This divergence in the acceptance of what is said to them between the younger and older versions of Oedipus is based on the fact that the older version of Oedipus had developed a considerable degree of pride in himself as a direct result of his accomplishments.
This had manifested itself in events early on within the story where he encountered Laius on the road to Thebes and refused to give way due to his pride in being a prince of Corinth. The end result was the murder of Liaus which was inherently based on the concept of pride and how Oedipus refused to be humble.
His hubris escalated even more as a direct result of his accomplishment in saving the people of Thebes from the Sphinx and being crowned king of the city. The younger version of Oedipus did not have significant accomplishments, was merely a prince and as such did not have as much pride as compared to his older self which as a result left him more open to believing in the words of others rather than himself.
It must be noted though that there are possible alternative explanations as to why Oedipus readily believed the drunk but did not believe Teiresias. One of possibilities is based on the fact that Oedipus may have doubted the origins of his birth given that since he was not the natural son of Polybus and Merope then it would be unlikely that he would look anything like them.
On the other hand, the reason why Oedipus did not want to believe the words of Terisias may be due to the fact that they seemed so farfetched that it would have been hard to believe them in the first place.
While these alternative explanations do have a considerable degree of merit, they lack a sufficient enough connection to the concept of hubris that pervades various aspects of the story. An explanation behind one of the focal points of the story that led to Oedipus killing his father and marrying his mother should be based on the concept of pride since this is the main theme of the story and all explanations of events that emerge from the story of Oedipus should be based on this particular perspective.
As it can be seen from the various arguments presented within this paper, the concept of pride played a significant role in having Oedipus believe the words of the drunk yet not believe the words of the prophet Teiresias. As the pride of Oedipus increased the more likely he was to believe in his own words and thoughts rather than those coming from other people. In the end, like so many Greek tragedies in the past, the prideful are humbled and in the case of Oedipus he was humbled to an extreme degree.

Іван Іванович Саєнко (,  17 жовтня 1983, Воронеж) — російський футболіст, що грав на позиції флангового нападника. Виступав за національну збірну Росії.

Клубна кар'єра
Народився у Воронежі у футбольній родині. Його батько тренував місцеву жіночу команду «Енергія». Коли ця команда проходила збори у Німеччині, він взяв із собою сина, що займався футболом у воронезькій ДЮСШ, і звозив його на перегляд до декількох місцевих клубів. Для юнака це завершилося укладанням 2000 року молодіжного контракту із «Карлсруе СК». Грав за молодіжну команду клубу, а 2001 року провів дві гри за головну команду у Другій Бундеслізі.

Частину 2002 року провів в оренді на батьківщині, граючи за друголіговий «Факел» (Воронеж), після чого повернувся до «Карлсруе СК», де провів ще три сезони, ставши гравцем основного складу клубу.

У травні 2005 року на правах вільного агента уклав трирічний контракт з «Нюрнбергом», командою вищого німецького дивізіону. 2007 року виборов у його складі титул володаря Кубка Німеччини, утім наступного року команда втратила місце у Бундеслізі, і росіянин висловив бажання його покинути, не бажаючи знову грати у другому дивізіоні.

Влітку 2008 року уклав чотирирічний контракт із московським «Спартаком». У московській команді не заграв спочатку через травму, а згодом через проблеми з режимом та підвищену конкуренцію за місце на полі. Провівши за «Спартак» за три роки лише 31 гру в чемпіонаті, влітку 2010 року 26-річний гравець був виставлений на трансфер, а за півроку, після того як бажаючих придбати його не знайшлося, клуб розірвав із ним контракт. Фактично того ж 2011 року завершив професійну футбольну кар'єру.

Виступи за збірну
2006 року дебютував в офіційних матчах у складі національної збірної Росії.

У складі збірної був учасником чемпіонату Європи 2008 року в Австрії та Швейцарії, де взяв участь у чотирьох іграх, у двох з яких на стадії плей-оф навіть виходив на поле у стартовому складі.

Загалом протягом трирічної кар'єри в національній команді провів у її формі 13 матчів.

Crazy for You
Author: Michelle Sass Aleckson
Series: Deep Haven Collection #3
The problem with being related to everyone in town is that there is no one left to date…until now. But will this outsider survive his family?
Former soldier Veronica "Ronnie" Morales isn't going to let her kid brother, Tiago, get pulled into the gangs of Minneapolis, so, seeking safety and a fresh start, she heads to sleepy Deep Haven on the north shore of Minnesota. She's hoping to put down roots as the paramedic for the new Crisis Response Team, but it's not easy to be the town outsider.
Fire Chief Peter Dahlquist is a peacemaker—he has to be. After all, he's related to both of the Deep Haven dynasties—the Zimmermans and the Dahlquists, Deep Haven's version of the Hatfields and the McCoys. Worse, Peter is the holdout vote for a landmark project, which also makes him the loneliest guy in town when both families demand that he pick sides. The only one who seems to understand his plight is the newcomer in town…his pretty, street-tough paramedic.
When Tiago finds himself caught up in small town shenanigans and the town blames Ronnie for tragedy, Peter is forced to pick sides. But will his choice cost him the home—and the woman—he loves?
Reviewer: Miriam Young
Susan May Warren has done it again!! Along with the introduction of the wonderful Michelle Sass Aleckson, this book is absolutely lovely.
Peter and Veronica (Ronnie) are some of the most realistic and relatable characters I've ever encountered in my reading. I could NOT put this book down. I even found myself laughing out loud several times at their witty remarks. The storyline of hope, love, and just family and friends in this book is phenomenal. It makes you want to just jump into the pages and join in with the story.
I can't wait to read more books and get to know the Deep Haven community even more!

Reviewer: Gee Dixon
I just love Susan May Warren books, they are always heartfelt. This one was full of sadness and how God can turn it around and make it a positive.
Peter was looking for love but being related to most of the people in Deep Haven his chances were slim until. Ronnie and her brother moved to town. Ronnie had to prove herself in this small town that was split two different ways.
This an awesome read. I give it 5*.

Reviewer: Marilene VE
Susan May Warren has created a stunning new novel with upcoming talent Michelle Sass Aleckson in the Deep Haven series, called Crazy For You. I was so excited to dive back again in the Deep Haven series, and I'm definitely not disappointed. This novel tells the story of Veronica and Peter and follows them on their journey to find the love of their life.
Although Peter hopes his family will leave him alone and respect his own choices, they can't help but be very critical of a stranger in town. Especially after Peter makes it clear to them that Veronica is his girlfriend. But can Peter make sure everything works out so he can finally truly love her? And then there's Veronica's little brother Tiago. Although he has left the gangs of Minneapolis behind, it turns out that things aren't so safe in Deep Haven anymore either. Veronica, in the eyes of the Deep Haven residents, is to blame for this. Which side does Peter take in this? Does he choose his role as peacekeeper or does he want to support Veronica through everything? And what does Tiago think about this?
It was very nice to meet old friends from the Deep Haven Series and the Christiansen family. The great thing about Susan May Warren is that she always has a (former) soldier, firefighter or someone with an active profession in her books. She also often has her stories take place in a small town. This combined with the fresh, new voice of Michelle Sass Aleckson makes this story definitely interesting and enjoyable to read. The nice thing is that despite being a contemporary romance, there is always a suspense element in Susan May Warren's books. Michelle did a great job of that as well. While this book does not have a strong faith element, it does ensure that good values are strongly emphasized. Giving people a second chance is part of this. All in all, Michelle has done an excellent job of writing a book that totally fits the Deep Haven Series. I am definitely looking forward to the next books in the Deep Haven Collection.
This book is highly recommended for everyone who loves contemporary romance with a taste of suspense and action.

Reviewer: Mindy Houng
"He wants us to experience life with Him inside us. He wants to carry us through the hardships. Join in our celebrations. Hold us when we're hurting."
It's another worthwhile trip to Deep Haven with debut author Michelle Sass Aleckson. I'm a relative newbie to the town of Deep Haven so I was unaware of the simmering tension between the Dahlquist and Zimmerman families. Their squabble and misbehavior actually made Deep Haven feel more real and down-to-earth and not quite so Mayberry-like.
Caught between the two families is Peter, a fire chief, city councilman, and biologically a Zimmerman and adopted as a Dahlquist. When Ronnie moves into town with her brother Tiago, their work in the Crisis Response Team draws them together and sparks fly from their first encounter. Peter reminded me a bit of Sam from Susie May Warren's Montana Rescue series and the overarching theme in this series of putting together a Crisis Response Team in their remote area was also reminiscent of the Montana Rescue series.
Peter is dependable, loyal, steady, loving, devoted to family, and incredibly sweet and naive but also indecisive. I loved his peace-keeping soul and his desire to love everyone to his fullest capacity. He's definitely a hero on my 'keeper' list. Ronnie is headstrong, stubborn, blunt bordering on rude, but does have a soft heart underneath the armor she's built because of her past. Her prickly attitude and behavior wasn't endearing at first but she grew on me as the story unfolded. Peter's embodiment of God's unconditional love is pretty amazing. I really enjoyed seeing Cole, Megan, Adrian, and Ella from the first two books and fell in love with some of Peter's cousins whom I hope we will see more of soon.
Fans of contemporary romance will absolutely love this book.
I received the book from the publisher and was under no obligation to post a positive comment. All opinions are solely my own.
Reviewer: Nora St. Laurent
Ronnie and her brother Tiago are looking for a place they can call home. Ronnie is x-military and jumps at the chance to head up a Crisis Response Team in a cozy little town since she had medical CRT training as an army paramedic professional. Ronnie adored Deep Haven. It is beautiful, charming, and has a wide array of interesting townspeople. This opportunity was too much to hope for as Ronnie's military ways rub some people the wrong way. She is a strong, opinionated, stubborn woman who knows what she wants and how to get things done. She is the right person to set up and train the volunteers for the new crisis response program. Paul and his cousin Vivien see that so how to convince the rest of the town?
Ronnie and Tiago would soon discover there is no Utopia. People made bad choices and got in trouble no matter where they lived. Ronnie has her walls up around her heart, letting no one inside, as she believes the lie that strong people do not ask for help. Only weak people did that. She was not weak but living in this small town where everyone knows your name and business is changing things. She can see others cannot help but want to lighten her load. Ronnie was quickly finding out that life had more color and was richer with friends.
I enjoyed reading how Ronnie fell in love with Peter and this quaint sweet town with its diversified cast of characters where most seem to be related to Peter, the Fire Chief. Peter was a peacemaker and had a gift that brings people together for the common good. Could he get Tiago and Ronnie to fit in? Help them want to be part of Deep Haven? I liked how the author naturally weaves a spiritual thread through the story as Ronnie learns to accept help from others. It brings everyone joy and builds a team spirit. I got caught up in it all as I teared up at the end. It surprised me. Loved that!
I enjoyed Vivien's summer play, a West Side story adapted for kids titled "West Side Toy Story." About two rival toy companies in N.Y. battle to be number one. It was fun to hear about this play and be part of the CRT team's response to emergency calls. This was the third book in this series. I did not feel lost and enjoyed this fun read.
I look forward to reading more novels by this author.

EXCLUSIVE: In The Studio With Devilment
By Dayal Patterson ( Metal Hammer ) published 22 August 14
What a Filthy studio...
While Dani Filth's new outfit Devilment were putting the finishing touches to their upcoming debut album, we were given a glimpse into the recording process and how it's all coming together.
No, seriously guys. It was this big.
Dani shows off his photo album from Cradle's tour of The Vatican.
Despite such inauspicious beginnings, the band have been moving at a rate of knots, recording around vocalist Dani Filth and producer Scott Atkins' hectic schedules, crafting their debut full-length and winning a deal with the sizeable Nuclear Blast Records in the process. So what does the band actually sound like? Well imagine a blend of synthy goth rock and groove metal with occasional symphonic black metal overtones and thrash metal riffing and you'll have some idea… hopefully. Mind you, it's not just us that are struggling to pigeonhole the group's sound..
"Well originally it was an industrial/dance thing," recalls guitarist Daniel Finch, "but now there's lots of influences, you have six individuals all listening to different stuff – be it black metal or folk music – and it's a combination of those inspirations that make Devilment what it is."
Dani shows off his collection of white-on-white drawings. Such art. Very design.
There'll be a full in-depth studio report in the upcoming issue of Metal Hammer in September. STAY TUNED!

Book Review: Radio Sunrise by Anietie Isong
Radio Sunrise is about a radio journalist, Ifiok who loses funding for his radio drama on a public station in Nigeria. The government stops the funding the programme so he starts to look for alternative funding. The fact that the government cut the funding for the programme made me question whether we can rely on the government. One minute, they are helping the people and the next minute, the help stops. He is then called to work on a documentary about ex-militants in his hometown and the story follows his experience while he's there.
Ifiok is a journalist so he chats often with people and discovers new stories along the way. The novel ignited my interest in journalism and how it can expose things going on in society.
Ifiok's interest as a journalist meant that sometimes he was more interested in recording a story than helping at an incident. A fire started in Ifiok's neighbourhood once and he quickly brought out his tape recorder to record the event, rather than helping his neighbours who were trying to get water to quench the fire. You may wonder why people had to stop the fire themselves. It's because the firemen arrived without any water and only came to record the incident.
One of the conversations that stuck with me from the book was Ifiok's conversation with a woman who's a street food seller. She mentioned how KFC's arrival in Lagos had affected her business negatively. I remembered how I only thought about buying crispy fried chicken and chips in Lagos when KFC arrived. I didn't think about the livelihoods it affected.
In all, I enjoyed reading Radio Sunrise. Anietie writes in a way that talks about society in a funny way but questions important parts of society. I laughed a couple of times while reading Radio Sunrise. But, it also made me think a lot about the government, journalism and what it's like being a young man in Nigeria facing societal pressure.
If you're looking for a book that is easy to read, definitely pick up Radio Sunrise. It's quite quick to get through too; it's less than 200 pages long. This is Anietie's first novel and I'm looking forward to reading more of his work.
*I received Radio Sunrise as a gift from Jacaranda Books but all views are mine.

Epidemics do tend to end at some point, but they leave considerable destruction in their wake.
In any drug epidemic (and this is not the first) we see proposals for new programs to address emerging problems and hopefully put a stop to our troubles. Epidemics do tend to end at some point, but they leave considerable destruction in their wake. In a sense our real goal is to limit the adverse impact.
One program that gets media attention is the Vancouver clinic where heroin addicts are allowed to inject heroin under the supervision of healthcare professionals. Here's a recent story.
The target population for this program is primarily very chronic addicts. David Napio, whose story is featured in the article, has been using heroin since he was 11 years old. He's 55 now and has spent a total of 22 years in prison. He attends the clinic three times a day to self-administer heroin in a room filled with mirrors (not sure what those are for). He's enthused about the program, and you have to root for the guy, as at his age, there may not be many more opportunities.
One question: Why not use existing alternatives such as methadone or buprenorphine? Those are opioids that can be administered by mouth at very high dose levels. But it turns out that some addicts dislike these substitutes, and that may be why some meth programs have low retention rates. The heroin program is more popular. After all, we're providing heroin along with a safe haven in which to inject, and plenty of support– what's not to like?
Still, any program that involves handing out heroin to addicts is bound to push all the wrong buttons in the minds of many citizens. It's one thing to ask the taxpayers to support a substitute like methadone or bupe. It's quite another to convince them to pay for people to use heroin.
Perhaps more importantly, such programs may not actually have a significant impact on the opiate epidemic itself. That's currently made up of newer users who came to heroin via prescription painkillers. They tend to be younger, less chronic, and at higher risk for overdose. That isn't Dave.
So although this program has its attractions, particularly for cities with a large population of very chronic users, it may not contribute much to resolution of our current dilemma.
It's easy to get issues mixed together when it would be best to keep them apart. Here's an article on efforts to legalize marijuana in Massachusetts.
The two issues, legalizing pot and controlling the opiate epidemic, aren't clearly related. Most pot smokers don't use heroin, and the dramatic increase in opiate use isn't dependent on easy access to marijuana. If we truly want to have a positive impact on opiate use, we should probably focus on limiting access to painkillers and increasing access to helpful treatment, so that it's readily available when needed.
Addiction professionals are able to separate the two issues, but some legislators find it confusing. They persist in seeing addiction as a demon to wrestle with, rather than what the evidence would suggest: that it's a complex disease that can take many forms and has afflicted humanity for millennia.

« DiSanto Bill to Combat Blight Sent to Governor
"Steer Clear Law" set to become "Move Over Law" following Unanimous Passage by General Assembly »
DiSanto: Senate Approves Bipartisan Bills to Boost Local Fire and EMS Services
Harrisburg – Senator John DiSanto (Dauphin/Perry) supported Senate passage Tuesday of a comprehensive package of bipartisan reforms to help local fire and EMS companies continue to operate in the face of declining membership and rising costs.
House Bill 1673 includes more than a dozen different proposals that were recommended in the 2018 Senate Resolution 6 Report to strengthen fire and EMS services in Pennsylvania. The bill contains key provisions including improvements to grant and loan programs for fire companies, new measures to support recruitment and retention of fire personnel and critical changes in the Office of the State Fire Commissioner.
Some of the highlights of the bill include:
Reauthorizing the Fire Company and EMS Grant Program for four years and expanding the eligible uses of the program to include fire prevention education, recruitment and retention programs, volunteer firefighter length of service awards, construction savings accounts and revenue loss for grants issued during the next two years.
Requiring the reconstituted State Fire Advisory Board to review and make recommendations on the funding formula for the Volunteer Fire Relief Program and expanding eligible uses to include training, nutrition supplies, recruitment and retention, length of service award programs, facilities, vehicles, equipment, commercial driver licenses and stipends of up to $1,500 per year.
Increasing loan amounts for facilities, vehicles and equipment through the Volunteer Loan Assistance Program (now the Fire and EMS Loan Program) and creating a ballot question that would ask voters to permit municipal (paid) fire companies to be eligible for low-interest loans.
Authorizing counties and school districts to provide property tax credits for volunteer first responders and permitting municipalities to provide earned income tax credits or property tax credits for volunteer first responders.
The bill also includes key changes to ensure the Office of the State Fire Commissioner serves as the primary representative for fire services. Under the bill, the Fire Commissioner would be responsible for the management of the Fire and EMS Grant Program, the Fire and EMS Loan Program, the Fire Relief Program and the State Fire Academy, as well as serving as chair of the State Fire Advisory Board.
The Office of the State Fire Commissioner would also be elevated to a cabinet-level position that must be nominated by the governor and confirmed by the state Senate. The Fire Commissioner would also be required to develop curriculum and issue certifications for fire and rescue training and assist with statewide recruitment and retention efforts.
The bill was amended in the Senate and returns to the House of Representatives for consideration.
In addition to supporting fire companies, the Senate also approved legislation this week to support EMS operations. House Bill 1838, which was approved by the Senate on Monday, would increase funding to the Emergency Medical Services Operating Fund by approximately $11 million annually by increasing fines for moving violations and DUI convictions that result in Accelerated Rehabilitation Disposition (ARD).
The legislation also requires that a portion of the funding is dedicated to providing training for underserved areas.
"For years, fire companies and EMS units in our area and across Pennsylvania have struggled to maintain membership and cover the rising costs of equipment and training, putting the delivery of these vital services at risk," DiSanto said. "The action we've taken will offer additional support, especially needed at a time when COVID-19 has created new fundraising and operational challenges."

Open Markets applauds introduction of bipartisan bill banning non-compete clauses in U.S.
in Economy, News, U.S. News
Bipartisan bill introduced by Senators Murphy (D-CT) and Young (R-IN)
Washington, DC — Today, Senators Todd Young (R-IN) and Chris Murphy (D-CT) introduced the Workforce Mobility Act of 2019, a bipartisan bill which, if passed, will ban non-compete clauses for all workers in the United States. The bill would also establish public and private enforcement, protecting American workers from these oppressive contracts.
Employers use non-compete clauses to bar employees from joining competitors or starting their own firms. By compelling workers to remain at their current employers, non-compete clauses can restrict employees from taking their skills elsewhere in the same industry, road-blocking careers, driving down wages, and protecting monopolies.
"Non-competes strengthen the power of corporate employers at the expense of millions of workers across America," said Open Markets Legal Director Sandeep Vaheesan. "These unfair contracts depress competition among employers for workers and reduce job market mobility, lowering wages and wage growth and impeding new business creation. Banning non-competes would restore a basic right for American workers–the right to leave for greener pastures. This is a huge step in advancing worker freedom, and we applaud Senators Young and Murphy for taking it."
The bill's introduction follows a March petition, led by the Open Markets Institute and joined by 19 labor and public interest groups and more than 40 individual advocates and scholars, demanding the Federal Trade Commission ban non-compete clauses nationwide.
We are currently forming the American Conservative Movement. If you are interested in learning more, we will be sending out information in a few weeks.

Q: Keep old URL after redirect How do I keep the URL after redirecting to a new server?
I have a server on Amazon, with a IP address for its URL. I also have a domain name which I got from nic.ru (a Russian hosting company). I paid $5 and got nic.ru to do a redirect to my new server.
When the redirect goes through, the URL that is displayed is the Amazon server IP (that is, I type http://bezpontavto.ru which is redirected to http://54.186.37.214/; but 54.186.37.214 is then displayed in the URL bar) I want the URL to redirect from http://bezpontavto.ru to http://54.186.37.214/ yet still display as http://bezpontavto.ru in the URL bar.
I dont have access to the apache.conf file at nic.ru (they do it automatically). I have however set up mod_rewrite, on my new server, and have a nice new blank .htaccess file set up in the /var/www/html/ directory.
What do I need to do to display the old URL in the url bar?
(I guess this is pretty simple, but I have been hitting my head against the wall all day, any help would be much appreciated)

A: You want to get nic.ru to set up A records that point to your new server. This is usually possible without additional charges, and there is usually a DNS configuration interface to make it possible.
Your Amazon server needs to have been prepared to serve the .ru domain (Apache needs to have a VirtualHost entry set up).

A: For anyone looking fo do a frame redirect from nic.ru, you have to do it under the menu item "My Domains" (Мои Домены):

To do a DNS redirect, which Pekka mentioned was superior, nic.ru offers a DNS service. The details are at http://dns-master.ru/tariff/en/

Q: Why will this code not print the answer lines when it compiles without an error? new to programming I am just wondering why this code wont print the answer lines when no errors come up during compiling.  I am doing assignment #35 of learnjavathehardway(https://programmingbydoing.com/a/two-more-questions.html)
import java.util.Scanner;

public class TwoMoreQuestions
{
    public static void main( String[] args )
    {
        Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);

        System.out.print( "Question 1: Does it belong inside or outside or both? ");
        String q1 = keyboard.next();

        System.out.println( "Question 2: Is it alive? ");
        String q2 = keyboard.next();

        if((q1.equals("inside"))&&(q2.equals("not alive")))
        {
            System.out.println( "Then what else could you be thinking of besides a shower curtain?!?" );
        }
        if((q1.equals("inside"))&&(q2.equals("alive")))
        {
            System.out.println( "Then what else could you be thinking of besides a houseplant?!?" );
        }
        if((q1.equals("outside"))&&(q2.equals("alive")))
        {
            System.out.println( "Then what else could you be thinking of besides a bison?!?" );
        }

        {
            System.out.println( "Then what else could you be thinking of besides a cellphone?!?" );
        }
    }
}

A: Seeing your Code If use are using Scanner.next() method it won't take value after space . So if you give input both and alive without any space it will show you result but if you intent to take value after space use Scanner.nextLine();
See your code and comments beside it
        Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);

        System.out.print( "Question 1: Does it belong inside or outside or both? ");
        String q1 = keyboard.next();//will not take any value after space

            System.out.println( "Question 2: Is it alive? ");
            String q2 = keyboard.next();//will not take any value after space
 //so if you enter "not alive" q2 will store only "not".
            //String q2 = keyboard.nextLine();
// this will take all character even after space


I love this post. I think if we all thought this way about our lives, we would have no trouble saying no, no trouble throwing stuff out instead of hanging onto it because it was a gift (even though its hideous), and no trouble being good to ourselves. Maybe since its awards season, we should all walk up the red carpet and into our own exclusive club!

Luce Irigaray (2002) The Way of Love
Trans. Heidi Bostic and Stephen Pluhàcek. Continuum: New York and London. ISBN: 0-8264-5982-X
Gwendolyn Blue
In my experience, engaging with Irigaray's texts is never an easy task. This is particularly true of The Way of Love. Although it is a translation from the French version (La Voie de l'Amour), the English edition is the first, and to date only, publication in any language. Irigaray demands that her readers come equipped with a fairly decent grasp of some of the key figures and debates in Western philosophy (and her dialogues are promiscuous, ranging from Aristotle, Plato, and Descartes, to Heidegger, Spinoza, Nietzche, Hegel, Freud, Lacan, Merleau – Ponty and Levinas). She also asks us to partake in a difficult experiment: to open Western philosophy and culture to a problematic that, in her opinion, has hitherto been unthinkable, the question of sexual difference and the opportunity of love between two subjects.
This book, in particular, is part of Irigaray's more recent attempts (I Love To You, Democracy Begins Between Two) to construct the possibility of an intersubjective relation between masculine and feminine subjects that is founded on love, and, more specifically, on a particular formulation of love that could provide the basis for a new socio-political order. Irigaray's later work is based on the premise that if we are genuinely interested in forging the conditions for democracy, we must change our intimate engagements and practices (the way we speak to, interact with, and respond to one another), as well as aim at transforming broader macrostructural forces and institutions. Although she grounds her analysis in interpersonal relations and the nature of the symbolic, her later work is inherently political in its motivation. Her central claim is that any analysis of society must take into account the fact that society is made up of specific individuals who are intimately linked together, particularly through sexual relations (Irigaray, 2000: 118). Since we live our lives as sexed and sexual individuals, not as neuter or abstract subjects, we must attempt to go beyond envisioning society in the abstract. We must also be aware of the masculine nature of Western subjectivity and how this informs our knowledge and practices.
The Way of Love returns to the philosophical focus Irigaray set forth in the early stages of her work (particularly in Speculum of the Other Woman, An Ethics of Sexual Difference, and This Sex Which Is Not One). Her main aim in this book is to provide an "incitement to open differently one's eyes upon the task of the philosopher" (2002: 5); a task in her opinion that should aim to account for the entirety of human subjectivity and experience, not simply focusing on our cognitive and mental aspects. Irigaray's central claim is that Western philosophy, in its pursuit of the love of wisdom, has forgotten the wisdom of love. In doing so, Irigaray argues that it has reduced wisdom (sophia) to a conceptual, rational game, which she claims is useful for populating universities and generating discussions among initiates, but is not capable of giving insights into how to live well. nor of impacting our lives in the way that 'true' wisdom ought to. Her introduction provides a satirical critique of the ways in which Western philosophy is and has been practiced as well as of the subjects it engenders. Her image of the Western philosopher, who privileges conceptual thought at the expense of all else, is particularly biting: "the presumed friend of wisdom becomes, from then on, one who falls into wells due to an inability to walk on the earth. His science causes laughter, like that of other sages just as incapable of governing their life and who nevertheless issue words claiming to instruct us on the most everyday and the most sublime" (2002: 3). Irigaray writes that reading philosophy can stimulate and cure us, sending us back to our daily lives with more vigor and spirit; however, she proceeds by sarcastically claiming that a chess match might accomplish the same task, with less mental perversity and illusion.
However, her aim is not to totally dismiss the Western philosophical tradition, but to recognize its partial and contingent nature. She argues that because this tradition emerged as a way of thinking that was constructed within and by small, select groups of people who associate primarily with each other, it cannot sufficiently account for the diversity of human life. Furthermore, the gendered dualisms informing its construction lead Western philosophers to trivialize, condemn or ignore those elements that have been positioned as 'feminine' (maternal origins, material elements of existence such as air, water, and food). By reclaiming `love', or, more specifically, philosophy in the feminine, Irigaray suggests that philosophy would come to value and account for intersubjectivity, dialogue in difference, and an attention to the present moment.
After the introduction, her text is broken into four chapters that outline what a philosophy in the feminine entails. The first chapter is a dialogue with Heidegger, in particular his essay On the Way to Language. She contends that Heidegger's preoccupation with language neglects the very things that sustain life, such as air and breath, and that make individuation and relation possible. Thus, to reach a place of love (of proximity, communion, and being – with the other in her/his becoming), Irigaray claims we need to go beyond the representational mode of traditional philosophy, in particular its preoccupation with language, as language keeps us locked in a system of pre-constituted social order that has developed over time to engage with static objects rather than dynamic subjects. Beings in communication share more than meaning, we share non-signifying elements such as emotions, sensations, and breath. In order to conceptualize this understanding of communication, Irigaray contends that we also need to revise how we approach our understanding of divinity. By seeing 'god' as circulating among us and through our encounters rather than something that exists separately from us (or that is non-existent), Irigaray allows space for mysticism, wonder and awe in her understanding of beings in relation.
The next two chapters (Being with the Other; Thanks to Difference) provide an overview of Irigaray's conception of subjectivity as between – two. Starting from an understanding of subjectivity as engendered between two, rather than as a monolithic entity or as encompassing multiple relations, Irigaray attempts to account for the specificity of our relations (between male – female; child – mother; human – god, etc.), while holding onto the understanding that this relationality is constantly in flux and never fixed. One way to accomplish this is to reconceptualize language, becoming aware of how the substantive (the noun) fixes time, whereas the verb has the capability of gesturing towards the dynamism of life. Another is to broaden our understanding of identity and belonging – moving beyond a phallogocentric (male language-centered) and anthropocentric definition of subjectivity to attempt to acknowledge the elements that bind and sustain all life. For example, Irigaray describes how we need to take into account air, as opposed to language, as the universal element and medium that binds and sustains our encounters and becomings.
In her final chapter (Rebuilding the World) Irigaray focuses on how we could love across difference, not by reducing identity to notions of sameness, but by accounting for belonging through the recognition of the irreducible differences between us. To love across difference, for Irigaray, requires a reformulation of the central logic of Western love, transforming it from a system of desire based on possession, exchange or absorption/consumption, to one which acknowledges and respects irreducible differences. Although she does not acknowledge it explicitly in this text, Irigaray engages Hegel (and gestures to her work in I Love to You) by offering a revised version of his notion of recognition, one that moves from a hierarchical lord-servant interaction, to an encounter between two equivalent (not equal) embodied subjects. For Irigaray, love occurs when neither subject effaces the other nor displaces her or his embodiment. Rather, when we come together as different sexed subjects and when we acknowledge our irreducible differences, the possibility emerges to recognize our own corporeal limits and thereby anchor our conceptual imaginaries in embodied reality rather than abstract or transcendental conditions of possibility. However, for Irigaray our differences are never complete or fixed for all time; they are always in relation, process and flux. The opportunity for a fecund encounter (for love) exists only when we enable the conditions for the irreducibility of at least two subjectivities (via symbolization as well as our everyday encounters), as well as when we realize that these subjectivities are themselves continuously open to change because they are in relation to one another.
Irigaray has described her work as divisible into three interrelated stages – a critique of the phallogocentrism of Western philosophy, an attempt to theorize female subjectivity, and finally an attempt to construct the symbolic foundation for intersubjective relations founded on love (Bostic, 2002). The Way of Love appears to marks a return for Irigaray to her previous philosophical engagements and critiques, but potentially also a movement into new territory. In particular, this book touches on how to conceive subjectivity, not only in terms of human sexual difference and spiritual dimensions, but also in terms of our relations with the natural world.
I was pleased with the direction that she has taken in The Way of Love as she retains the complexity of her earlier engagements. Although her initial work is dense and can be difficult to approach, particularly for those who are not well grounded in the works of the philosophers she engages, her later projects attempt to be more 'practical' and political/ However, I have found some of those writings (in particular Democracy Begins Between Two) have a tendency to come across as somewhat simplistic and repetitive, which is unfortunate, given the complexity and profundity of her philosophical project. Although different in style and note, The Way of Love is vulnerable to the very critique Irigaray wages against Western philosophy: to be capable of grasping her ideas often means being part of a coterie of academics (graduate students and professors) who have the familiarity with the traditions she writes against. To gain this familiarity, one must invest a certain amount of time and effort, which means that the sphere of her potential readers is necessarily limited to those who have the time, resources and interest to engage her work. This is not a critique of her work per se, for she has made valiant attempts to take her work beyond the confines of the academic world. However, it is important to note that philosophical/theoretical writings and engagements, whether they are 'masculine' or 'feminine' in character, will tend to be conducted within relatively small spheres of influence and will be accordingly situated and limited. Irigaray's focus on the relationship between sexual difference and knowledge production, although it provides a very interesting addition (and challenge) to feminist standpoint epistemology, tends to obscure some dynamics of knowledge production. By engaging with theory, we all become 'trapped' within a conceptual/rational/logocentric perspective and I do not believe that attention to sexual difference and an incorporation of the 'feminine' into philosophy and critical thinking will necessarily prevent this from occurring. It is unfortunate that Irigaray does not address this in her work.
Her writing also tends to be obscure and abstract insofar as it can be difficult to understand how to implement her ideas. As she states in her preface, her intent in The Way of Love is to stage an encounter that has not yet transpired between subjects that do not yet exist in a language that lacks the appropriate words and gestures to adequately express the conditions she envisions. This utopian quality of her work, although it can be intellectually stimulating, can also result in her ideas being left in the realm of the abstract (the theoretical and conceptual) rather than enabling them to forge the material changes she desires. She also tends to limit her discussion of subjectivity to the work of Heidegger and his formulations of identity. Although his ideas have made a tremendous impact on Western academic traditions, there have been numerous discussions in the twentieth century on identity/difference, and on the limits of the symbolic, which Irigaray does not take into account. She claims, for example, "in the Western conception of identity as unity closed upon what is one's own, this relational dimension of the human is forgotten Â… the act of entering into relation is conceived as a relation to oneself and not as a relation to the other" (2002: 89). She neglects to consider the work that has already been done, in ecological philosophy and feminist theory, to move beyond anthropocentric and logocentric accounts of human subjectivity.
However, this book is tremendously important, in my opinion, for those who are interested in questions surrounding subjectivity, language and power because it offers a way of recognizing the complexity of the situatedness of our symbolic practices, in particular, how knowledge production is informed by very tenacious gender dualisms. Irigaray 'practices' her philosophy by actively engaging her language, rather than simply advocating that we need to change it. What I find refreshing about Irigaray's project, and this book in particular, is her attempt to account for sexual difference in a way that does not lead to a continued devaluation of the feminine. She draws attention to things that are normally not addressed in philosophical and critical theoretical circles, in particular, spirituality, natural resources, our emotional dimensions, and our relations with the maternal; she also attempts to reconcile the spiritual, philosophical and practical considerations of our existence. For those who are interested specifically in learning more about Irigaray's project, The Way of Love offers a very good overview of her conceptions of subjectivity and language, particularly how she positions herself vis-à-vis the ideas of Heidegger and Hegel.
Perhaps to fully appreciate The Way of Love, we need to ourselves become the subjects she is writing towards, and learn to practice the dimensions of thinking and being that she describes. Such exercises in 'becoming' may not be to everyone's taste. For those who enjoy Irigaray's approach, however, The Way of Love is well worth the trouble(ing).

Q: Php qr code generator works strange with utf-8 phrase I downloaded the library http://phpqrcode.sourceforge.net/ and wrote simplest code for it
include('./phpqrcode/qrlib.php');
QRcode::png('иванов иван иванович 11111');

But resulted qr code contains only half of string
Resulted qr code - 'иванов иван ив';
url - vologda-oblast.ru/coronavirus/qr/parampng.php
What can be wrong?

A: The "phpqrcode" library in your case encodes a number of characters instead of the number of bytes of a UTF-8 string. That's why the string is truncated. If you QR-encode English-only text, the string will not be truncated. The truncation occurs only with Cyrillic characters since it takes 2 bytes to encode each Cyrillic character in UTF-8 rather than just a single byte for a Latin one.
Interestingly, the demo example of the library on the author's page do encode Cyrillic characters correctly.
The truncation happens in your case because you are using the following options in your php.ini file:
mbstring.func_overload = 2
mbstring.internal_encoding = "UTF-8"

If you remove the mbstring.func_overload (deprecated since PHP 7.2.0) from php.ini or set it 0, the "phpqrcode" library will start working properly. Otherwise, the strlen() function used by the library will return number of characters rather than the number of bytes in a UTF8-ecoded octet string, while str_split(), another function used by the library, will always return the number of bytes since it is not affected by mbstring.func_overload. As a result, your QR-codes will contain truncated strings.
Since you are using the Bitrix Site Manager CMS, removing the mbstring.func_overload from php.ini may be problematic until you fully update Bitrix to 20.5.393 (released on September 2020) or later version. Earlier version did rely on this deprecated feature. You can find find more information about Bitrix reliance on this deprecated feature at https://idea.1c-bitrix.ru/remove-dependency-on-mbstring-settingsfuncoverload/ or https://idea.1c-bitrix.ru/?tag=4799
Since you cannot change php.ini configuration on run-time, you can try to configure your web server to have php options configure on a per-directory level. Failing that, you can fix the code of the "phpqrcode" library to work correctly, at least partially, in your case, to not rely on the strlen() function. To to that, edit the qrencode.php file the following way. First, replace the $eightbit constant of the QREncode class from false to true. Second, in the function encodeString8bit, replace
        $ret = $input->append(QR_MODE_8, strlen($string), str_split($string));

to
        $arr = str_split($string);
        $len = count($arr);
        $ret = $input->append(QR_MODE_8, $len, $arr);

Anyway, since the "phpqrcode" library does not currently support Extended Channel Interpretations (ECI) mode, you cannot reliably encode Cyrillic characters with the library. It uses the 8-bit string mode of storing text in a QR code, which by default may only contain ISO-8859-1 (Latin-1) characters unless the default character set is modified by a ECI entry. But the library cannot insert the ECI entry into a QR code to show that the text has UTF-8 encoding rather than ISO-8859-1. Some decoding applications will auto-detect the wrong charset and show the string correctly, while some (compliant) may not.
As a conclusion, since the "phpqrcode" does not currently support ECI, you cannot reliably encode Cyrillic characters with it, but you can at least make it not truncate the string as I have shown above.
