America in the Antebellum Period: A Nation Both United and Divided Scott Willis Dr. Register History 201 12/11/08 Historians mark the year 1789 as the end of the Revolutionary period in America. Liberty had triumphed, and Americans under the leadership of a bright and resolute few, had fashioned a republic capable governing itself. Modern Americans tend to view the early years of the Republic with a sense of sentimental nostalgia. America had become a nation– or had it?
On the surface, this may have been the case.
Certainly the events of the Colonial period brought forth drastic and long-awaited change, however the historical developments of the 19th century were equally as revolutionary. Independence was an extraordinary feat, yet it was not until the 19th century that a distinct American identity emerged. America's national identity was complex during the 1800's; nationalism was a powerful force, but a sectional force nonetheless. 9th century America was, what historian Robert Wiebe called "a society of island communities".
[i] The remarkable transformations that characterized the 19th century both unified and divided the Republic in its early years. Political upheaval, economic transformation, technological advances and social and religious reform led to both desired and unexpected changes. There was no single unifying force that brought the nation together. Instead, there existed a number of beliefs and movements that all Americans supported to some degree.
Before addressing the factors most significant in uniting and dividing America in the antebellum period, it is important to understand the turbulent environment that characterized the beginning of the 19th century. The stage was set for significant upheaval in 1800, with the election of Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson imagined a nation built on the genius of the American workingman. [ii] He supported the formation of an agrarian nation opposed to an industrialized one, hoping to spread agricultural institutions across the seemingly infinite frontier. The laboring man had become America's hero, especially in the North.
As stated by Jefferson "those who labour in the earth are the chosen people of God. " This ideology fueled the expansion of the country, both from an economic and territorial perspective. [iii] The Jeffersonian admiration of labor corresponded with the rise of a unifying nationalism. America's victory in the War of 1812 had opened up a tremendous amount of land for expansion. The British relinquished their hold on the Oregon territories, and the Indian tribes of the Northwest and the South were defeated and dispossessed. Americans were free to expand beyond their original boundaries.
The construction of canals, national roads and railroads facilitated the movement of people and the exchange of goods. In the North, a new market society boomed, enhanced by this transportation revolution. The South also benefitted, strengthened by internal improvements, and technological advances such as Eli Whitney's cotton gin. Agriculture flourished, especially in the South, where a slave-based labor system found new opportunities for expansion into Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and territories further west. America in the early 19th century was growing at an astounding pace.
With this development came the emergence of the two very different societies: a market society in the North and a slave society in the South. The different ideologies of labor in North and the South would prove to be the most divisive issue of the 19th century. The North and the South became increasingly opposed, due to fundamental differences in labor ideology and hierarchies of racial division. The sectional opposition between the two regions created a divide that not only could not be bridged, but also grew increasingly apart as these differences became institutionalized.
Differing labor ideologies emerged simultaneously. In the South, labor remained contemptible as men aspired to own slaves. [iv] In the North, slavery was contemptible as the 19th century notion of manhood emphasized relying on oneself, not the labor of others. [v] The South "thoroughly identified" itself "with the institution of slavery", and for good reason. [vi] The British relied heavily on U. S cotton production, and this dependency fueled the Southern economy. [vii] Eli Whitney's cotton gin had facilitated the growth of short-staple cotton, a strand that only thrived in hot climates. viii] The Deep South provided the perfect environment for cotton cultivation. As a result, the westward expansion of the entire country coincided with the expansion of slavery. In 1860 the United States exported 4 million bales of cotton per year, yielding a profit of more than a 100%. [ix] The South perceived itself as vital to sustaining the financial strength of the entire country, and the economic security of the entire world. Because slavery was such a lucrative system, Southerners vigorously defended the institution with a distinct hierarchy of racial difference.
For Southerners, slavery was a natural and moral human condition. Slave owners justified the institution by asserting a paternalistic responsibility to provide for their slaves, ensuring stability and a sort of fictionalized happiness. Alexander Stephens, Vice President of the Confederacy expressed the Southern hierarchy of racial difference best: "the great truth [is] that Negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery—subordination to the superior race—is his natural and normal condition". x] The North, prompted by incendiary events like the Fugitive Slave Act and the publication of Uncle Tom's Cabin, found increased fault with the institution of slavery. By 1860, Northerners viewed the tyrannical "Slaveocracy" of the South as "a great moral, social and political evil". [xi] The racial hierarchy of the South created an anti-democratic society in fundamental opposition to the North. Not only did the institution strip the slaves of their humanity, but it also degraded the labor of white working men. xii] There was a little opportunity to rise, and thus little incentive for low class white men to compete with slave labor. In contrast, social mobility was the defining aspect of labor ideology in the North. The forces of the Market Revolution had transformed the pre-industrial rural economy. Gone were the days of the semi-market economy centered on tightly bound networks of family relationships. The workplace had shifted outside the home and into the consumer marketplace, where the mass production of cheap manufactured goods penetrated rural and urban arkets on an extraordinary scale. [xiii] The idea of the "self-made man" was tied to the concept of labor in the North. "Self-achieving manhood", embodied by peddlers like James Guild, helped to validate a culture of "ambition and entrepreneurial striving" different from the South. [xiv] Northern labor ideology was a masculine alternative to the bonds of dependency that characterized the labor of women and slaves. [xv] Despite the sectional disputes in racial hierarchy and labor ideology, there existed certain widespread beliefs and behaviors that drastically impacted both societies.
Business expansion was the most powerful unifying force. Technological advances and internal improvements created a society in both the North and the South "dominated by profit-maximizing businessmen". [xvi] The most successful men in both societies embraced the 19th century ideals of ambition and self-interest, but they did so in distinctly different ways. In the North, "the accident of one's birth" was not an insurmountable or necessarily determinative factor in generating wealth. [xvii] In the South, an equally ambitious class of planter elite and semi-subsidence farmers controlled the region's wealth.
White laborers, in contrast, had little opportunity to improve their status in a society far more stratified than the free labor North. The spiritual fervor of the Second Great Awakening was another movement experienced across the country. Evangelical religion was an entrepreneurial religion, one that "prompted a competitive religious marketplace in the United States". [xviii] The expansion of business in American society paralleled the growth of evangelical religion. The print revolution and transportation revolution also helped make the Second Great Awakening a national movement.
It is important to note that evangelical religion was a sectarian revolution: its forms and consequences varied in different societies. The Second Great Awakening was not so much a unifying force, but certainly was a pervasive force, impacting men and women throughout the country, regardless of race or location. Tied to the 19th century expansion of religion and business was the American myth of "Manifest Destiny". Every American, regardless of the sectional divide, recognized "the certainty that the nation's unique identity and it's God-appointed estiny were wrapped up in the fate of the American wilderness". [xix] For Southerners, this "God-appointed destiny" involved the expansion of slavery. For Northerners, it involved "an expansion of freedom in the fertile, uncorrupted soil of the New World". [xx] This central ideological difference between the North and the South prohibited America from forging a single national identity in the 19th century. Instead, two sectional identities were forged, drawing on a few widespread beliefs amid an abundance of disagreement. ———————– [i] Robert Wiebe, The Search for Order, Lecture, Dec. 0, 2008 [ii] Lecture, Oct. 20, 2008 [iii] Thomas Jefferson, "Notes on the Sate of Virginia", from Crosscurrents in American History: A Reader in United States History, vol. 1 (Boston, 2008), 148.

Background: INTRODUCTION: More than 40 people were arrested in Bangladesh on Monday (21 february) for distributing anti-Government leaflets during celebrations marking the Martyrs' Day language riots in the capital, Dacca.
SYNOPSIS: Martyrs' Day is held as homage to students who were killed by police in 1952 in a procession demanding Bengali as one of what was then East Pakistan's state languages. On Monday, thousands gathered at the Shaheed Minar, which marks the spot where the students were shot.
The day is a public holiday and dozens of events were held. These included sessions of devotional song, poetry recitations and numerous seminars. Hundreds of wreaths were laid on the tomb.
The student's deaths marked the start of the struggle for independence. That resulted in Bangladesh being proclaimed as a state in 1971. The President, Abu Sadat Sayem, was one of the officials who laid wreaths.
The ceremony was observed as Bangladesh shows signs of solving some of it worst domestic and foreign relations problems. The economy's in heartening shape and its endemic law and order problem is largely under control. The Chief Martial Law administration, Major-General Ziaur Rahman, also paid his respects, along with members of diplomatic missions.

Guest blogger Geraldine Sammut caught up with former Strategy and International Director for Stavanger 2008 Rolf Norås during his stay in Malta last February when he presented at Valletta 2018's 'Culture Matters' seminar. Read on to find out about what Norås had to say about the European Capital of Culture title and its legacy.
The Culture Matters: Valletta 2018 Initial Findings seminar was held on the 25th of February at the University of Malta. Researchers and students were encouraged to present their findings on the Valletta 2018 project and the culture sector. Rolf Norås, former Strategy and International Director for Stavanger 2008, was one of the researchers addressing the seminar. He spared some time to share his thoughts on the European Capitals of Culture project, as well as Valletta 2018 itself.
Given Norås' particular insight and experience his former position affords him, as well as his current position as Director of Cultural Affairs in Stavanger, it is no wonder that his research is based on ECoCs and their legacy. Norås investigated the present-day state of twelve past ECoCs with a special focus on the aftermath that the projects had in their respective cities. The investigation spanned between April and October of 2013, and involved over 29 informants who were each individually interviewed in order to acquire the most objective answers possible. Norås inquired about budget, media involvement, the artistic programme itself, and many other factors in order to construct a holistic and comprehensive picture of each ECoC. One of the more important factions of the projects that Norås emphasised, however, is the legacy that the ECoC paves the path for.
In fact, 'The Impacts of Valletta 2018', a report which was presented during the seminar, reveals amongst its conclusions that 81% of respondents believe that Valletta is changing for the better, and that 82% of respondents believe that Valletta 2018 is having a positive impact on Valletta's image. These findings emerge from the Valletta Participation Survey surveys carried out by the National Statistics Office in 2015, besides other sources. It clearly delineates the methodology used, the results to date, and potential ways forward using five major themes to cover all the possible ways the Valletta 2018 project is impacting the city itself and all those who have a relationship with it, be it work, residential, or that of a casual shopper. These themes include analysis on cultural participation and European identity, the impact of the creative industry on the economy and employment, analysis on community and space, and the impacts on the tourism industry and of the Valletta 2018 brand.
As Norås indicated in his research, it is always ideal to start evaluating the effects of an ECoC from early on, in fact from its beginnings, since this provides both those involved in the project and those affected by it with something to compare the aftermath of the ECoC to. 'And that can only come before', added Noras, corroborating what the chairman of the Valletta 2018 Foundation Jason Micallef had stated in the opening address of the seminar, in that qualitative and quantitative research is the way to ensure that people participate in the cultural programme, by evaluating the work and events carried out. The evaluation enables Valletta 2018 to face the challenges to come.

Does Your Cell Phone Always Die Before You Think It Should?
You made it through the morning, but now your cell phone is already losing it's charge. You are travelling today and you really don't have the time to stop and find an outlet so you can charge your phone. Why does this keep happening?
The first thing you need to know is this. Even if you have stopped playing a game, or using an app, unless you shut them down, they will continue to run in the background. Whether you are using that app or not, it's taking up valuable battery charge. So remember to check regularly to see what apps are running, and manually shut them down. Or you can download apps that will shut down all your background apps at your request.
If you love playing games on your cell, you need to stop. Especially on days when you are going to need to keep your phone charged for longer periods of time, I know it's tempting to play those games while you sit in an airport waiting for your flight or your connection, but it's not a good idea. Here's something you can do, Read instead!!
When you battery is getting low and you still have a way to go, don't shut your phone off in order to try and keep what little battery life is left. Instead, put the phone on Airplane Mode. That way the power up and power down process your phone goes through when you shut it down, won't happen, and you will have a little more time on your battery.
There are some other small things you can do too, like turn down the brightness on your screen. But the most energy using things on your cell phone are the apps and he games. So keep those to a minimum. And remember too, when you charge your phone, once its fully charged, unplug it from the charger.
If you have any other questions, come on by and see us here in Vero Beach.

Associate Professor Jonathan Risner has won IU Presidential Arts and Humanities Research Travel Grant
Jonathan Risner
Associate Professor Jonathan Risner has won IU Presidential Arts and Humanities Research Travel Grant for his research project Home Movies in Francoist Spain, 1939-1975. In his investigation, Professor Risner examines films that were produced outside of official control during this political period (1939-1975). Previous studies on the subject have focused on the official image as presented in films funded by the dictatorship, most of them in the category of state-sponsored newsreels ideologically aligned to praise the agenda of the regime. The innovative aspect of the project is to study a body of movies that may provide a different perspective of the historical context during the dictatorship by looking into common representations of everyday life from the lenses of Spaniards of different origins and socioeconomic levels who recorded these materials at that time.


JUAN S. LUZARRAGA, Complainant, v. HON. AMARO M. METEORO, As Presiding Judge of Branch 64, Regional Trial Court of Camarines Norte, Labo, Camarines Norte, Respondent.
This has reference to the administrative complaint filed by Retired Assistant Provincial Fiscal Juan S. Luzarraga against Judge Amaro M. Meteoro of Branch 64 of the Regional Trial Court stationed in Labo, Camarines Norte, for serious misconduct, gross inefficiency, neglect of duty, and violation of Section 15(1), Article VIII of the 1987 Constitution in connection with Judge Meteoro's handling of Civil Case No. 5784 (now docketed as No. 96-0013), entitled "Juan Luzarraga v. Pedro Venida and Marie Venida" for quieting of title.
Complainant filed the aforecited case for quieting of title on January 10, 1990. The case was initially assigned to Branch 41 of the Regional Trial Court of Daet, Camarines Norte. On February 22, 1990, the defendants in said case filed a Petition for Certiorari and Prohibition with the Court of Appeals (CA-G.R. No. 20093) which was dismissed on February 28, 1990. Thereafter, trial ensued, and on June 5, 1995, complainant rested his case by filing a formal offer of documentary evidence which the trial court admitted in its order dated July 25, 1995. On May 22, 1996, the case was transferred to Branch 64 of Regional Trial Court, Labo, Camarines Norte, a newly-created branch and presided over by herein respondent judge. Complainant claims that it was only on January 8, 1997 that respondent proceeded with the presentation of defendants' evidence. On the same date, defendants' counsel filed a Demurrer to Evidence, which was resolved and denied by the court only on January 13, 1998. Finally, the trial court, in its order dated July 20, 1998, considered the case submitted for decision. After the elapse of more than seven months without the case being decided, complainant was prompted to file his administrative complaint on March 1, 1999 (OCA Memorandum, pp. 1-2).
In his comment dated August 2, 1999, respondent admitted his failure to decide the subject case within the reglementary period but asked for this Court's compassion and understanding. He invoked the heavy docket of his court, totalling more than 300 cases, as reason for his failure to decide Civil Case No. 96-0013 (the new docket number of Civil Case No. 5784) on time. He also explained that Branch 64 is a newly-created branch and as such, he had problems recruiting personnel, and these being neophytes, he had to train them on their respective functions. Respondent further contended that at the time said civil case was submitted for decision, his clerk of court had transferred to the Office of the Reporter of the Supreme Court, while his legal researcher took a leave of absence in preparation for the Bar examinations. He also pointed out that he suffered a stroke as shown by a Medical Certificate issued by Dr. Keith Atutubo (Annex 2-C), and had to be confined at the Aquinas University Hospital in Legaspi City (Annex 2, Rollo, pp. 45-46).
The case was deemed submitted for decision on 20 July 1998 as per order of the respondent Judge. Therefore, more than one year had already elapsed since the submission of the case and respondent Judge has not decided the same despite the Motion for Early decision filed by herein complainant.
After carefully evaluating the facts, the Court finds Judge Meteoro administratively liable for failing to decide Civil Case No. 96-0013 within the 90-day reglementary period mandated by Section 15(1), Article VIII of the 1987 Constitution.
The Court has consistently impressed upon members of the judiciary the need to decide cases promptly and expeditiously under the time-honored precept that justice delayed is justice denied (Re: Judge Luis B. Bello, Jr., 247 SCRA 519 ). Rule 3.05 of Canon 3 of the Code of Judicial Conduct admonishes all judges to dispose of the court's business promptly and to decide cases within the periods fixed by law. The failure to render a decision within the 90-day period constitutes serious misconduct in derogation of the speedy administration of justice (Re: Report of Justice Felipe B. Kalalo, 282 SCRA 61 ).
In this instance, respondent was evidently remiss in the performance of his duty to decide Civil Case No. 96-0013 promptly and expeditiously. First, it was on May 22, 1996 that said case was transferred to the RTC Branch presided by respondent, but it was only on January 8, 1997 that he proceeded to receive the defendants' evidence, or after eight months. Second, the defendants' demurrer to evidence which was filed on January 8, 1997 was resolved only after a period of one year as per Order dated January 13, 1998. And lastly, on July 20, 1998, respondent issued an order submitting the subject case for decision, but as borne out by the records, the case has remained undisposed even as of the promulgation hereof.
This conduct of respondent blatantly manifests his incompetence and ineptitude in discharging his functions. Not only did he violate the constitutional and statutory requirements that cases be decided within the period fixed therefor, he likewise contravened Section 16, Article III of the Constitution which provides that "all persons shall have the right to a speedy disposition of their cases before all judicial, quasi-judicial, or administrative bodies." The public trust character of a judge's office imposes upon him the highest degree of responsibility in the discharge of his obligation to promptly administer justice (Office of the Court Administrator v. Benedicto, 296 SCRA 62 ). Needless to say, any delay in the determination or resolution of a case, no matter how insignificant the case may seem to a judge, is, at bottom, delay in the administration of justice in general. The suffering endured by just one person — whether plaintiff, defendant, or accused — while awaiting a judgment that may affect his life, honor, liberty, or property, taints the entire judiciary's performance in its solemn task of administering justice (Re: Report on the Judicial Audit, RTC Brs. 4 and 23, Manila, and MeTC, Br. 14, Manila, 291 SCRA 10 ).
When circumstances arise that would prevent the judge from disposing a case within the reglementary period, all that he has to do is to file an application with the Court asking for a reasonable extension of time within which to resolve the case (Report on the Judicial Audit, Municipal Trial Court, Sibulan, Negros Oriental, 282 SCRA 463 ). However, the record of this administrative matter does not show that respondent made an attempt to make such a request. Instead, he preferred to keep the case pending, thereby inviting suspicion that something sinister or corrupt is afoot. That he was burdened with a heavy case load and is a stroke victim, serve only to mitigate the penalty, not to exonerate him.
We also note that respondent has been continually collecting his salaries upon certification that he had no pending case for decision, when in fact, he has Civil Case No. 96-0013 still awaiting decision. Said act seriously undermines and reflects on the honesty and integrity expected of an officer of the court. Judges must be reminded, lest they have already conveniently forgotten, that a certificate of service is not merely a means to obtain one's paycheck but is an instrument by which the Court can fulfill the constitutional mandate of the people's right to a speedy disposition of cases (Bolalin v. Occiano, 266 SCRA 203 ; Re: Judge Fernando P. Agdamag, 254 SCRA 644 ).
Taking into account his failing health and his advanced age (66 years old per Annex 2-C, Rollo, p. 53), we agree with the recommendation of the Office of the Court Administrator that respondent be fined, in a greater amount than that recommended. We believe that P20,000.00 would be more appropriate under the circumstances.
WHEREFORE, Judge Amaro Meteoro is hereby found guilty of gross inefficiency and serious misconduct and is fined in the amount of Twenty Thousand Pesos (P20,000.00), payable immediately to the Court, with the warning that a repetition of the same shall be dealt with more severely. He is further directed to decide the subject case within an non-extendible period of thirty (30) days from receipt of resolution, and to submit to the Office of the Court Administrator a copy of his decision within ten (10) days from promulgation thereof.

I bring warm greetings from the United Nations and convey our solidarity with the wonderful people of the Kingdom of Lesotho as we confront the impact of colliding pandemics. The theme for World Aids day this year again reiterates the need to end inequalities which are driving AIDS and other pandemics. Before I deliver my remarks, I would like to read out the UN Secretary General's message for World Aids Day.
On this World AIDS Day, we focus attention on the inequalities that drive HIV and AIDS.
It is still possible to end the epidemic by 2030. But that will require stepped up action and greater solidarity.
The United Nations General Assembly recently adopted a bold new plan to accelerate progress, including new targets for 2025.
To beat AIDS – and build resilience against the pandemics of tomorrow – we need collective action.
That includes harnessing the leadership of communities to drive change, combatting stigma, and eliminating discriminatory and punitive laws, policies and practices.
We must also dismantle financial barriers to health care and increase investment in vital public services to achieve Universal Health Coverage for everyone, everywhere.
This will ensure equal access to HIV prevention, testing, treatment and care, including COVID-19 vaccinations and services.
Together, let us recommit to end inequalities and end AIDS.
On behalf of the UN family in Lesotho, I thank you for the opportunity to address this gathering. Since 1988, the world has gathered on World AIDS Day to raise awareness about HIV, to reduce HIV related stigma and to remember those whom we have lost to AIDS. Significant progress has been made in the HIV response, but the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS has warned that unless we address inequalities that drive the pandemic, we may be faced with an additional 12 million new infections globally over the next decade.
I would like to congratulate the Ministry of Health and National Aids Commission for leading a robust response that has seen infections decline by 55% since 2007, 97% of people living with HIV on treatment out of whom 92% have achieved viral suppression. We are indeed on track to end AIDS as a public health threat by 2030 in Lesotho, only if we do more and do better.
We congratulate Lesotho for the huge gains that have been made in the HIV response. Despite these achievements, HIV remains a stubborn challenge with 324,000 Basotho estimated to be living with the disease. As we celebrate the gains thus far, it is important to take time to reflect on how we got here and learn lessons that can be used to reach those left behind.
The United Nations has issued a stark warning on inequalities that persist in the HIV response globally. It is only by ending the inequalities that drive the pandemic, that we can overcome it.
For Lesotho, despite having achieved so much, adolescent women and young girls, Basotho migrants to South Africa, factory workers, sex workers, single women, uncircumcised men and other key populations bear the brunt of new infections. Men and children continue to lag behind in testing and treatment. Men are more likely to know their status much later than women; more likely to start treatment late, or fall off treatment altogether, and are not achieving viral suppression quickly enough.
We must work harder to bring cutting-edge science, deliver services that meet all people's needs, protect human rights and sustain adequate financing.
The current trajectory is not bending the curve of new infections quickly enough, and risks an AIDS pandemic that will have lasting impacts on the future economy. We have to move faster on a set of concrete actions agreed by United Nations Member States to address the inequalities that are driving HIV.
Funding for prevention programmes is not adequate at the current scale in Lesotho. We need to invest in comprehensive and targeted prevention programmes and take action to reverse the current situation.
Lesotho also urgently needs sufficient community-led and community-based infrastructure as part of a strong public health system, underpinned by a robust civil society accountability.
We need to protect our health workers and invest in human resources for health to meet our urgent needs and prepare better for future epidemics.
We must protect human rights, build trust in the health systems and ensure that all vulnerable groups have access to social safety nets.
Together we can end AIDS as a public health threat once and for all.
Let me end by wishing us all a successful and safe World AIDS Day.

What exactly is a den? Well what it is today and what it was may be two different things. Then a den may mean different things to different people, and whether it should be antique or chic is up to the individual as well.
The den of the past seemed to be a place where dad could find seclusion. Seclusion from what? From the family, business, or the stress of the day? Where did that idea originate? Probably on television in programs like Leave it to Beaver, or Lassie, or other family shows where the Dad went off to work while Mom stayed home to take care of the house and all the kids.
That stereotype is long gone and who knows what TV programs are even worth watching today, it seems they went the way of the den for Dad. However if you had a den would you decorate it with antiques or chic? We know what antiques are, but what exactly is chic?
Well it must be the opposite of antique so we'll just go with that.
When you find the den in your house is it the former guest room that you've seldom used? It that's the case, then it might be a good idea to redecorate with the items that would look good in a den; or possibly, a couch with a rollout bed hidden beneath. A desk would be nice, or a couple of chairs to converse with a friend.
Family pictures especially those old ones would fit in the antique den. To brighten up the den, new frilly curtains just don't seem to fit, but shutters might bring the proper atmosphere. Maybe a feminine touch would be good for Mom, but would Dad be happy there?
Regardless of your thoughts about a den, possibly it would be a good idea to decorate the room with colors that don't offend, but offer a quiet time for the entire family. Separately of course, but when one is there whether reading, writing or sleeping, the rule might be to leave them alone with the door closed without television, radio, or any other electronic or wireless gadget.
What we seem to be looking for is a place where silence is preferable. Is our world so busy that we need a den in our lives where we can decorate it with bookshelves or dark desks with writing paraphernalia? Perhaps that is what's missing in our lives. We need a den to call our own, a room when we enter it we leave the stress at the door and find respite in the silent retreat.

Q: Accessing Linq to XML query results with [] in C# In this post, the Linq to XML query result are accessed with iterator as follows.
foreach (var elem in elems) {
    var res = elem.Elements("ClassKeyName");

    foreach (var e in res) {
        Console.WriteLine(e.Value);
    }
}

Can I access the result with []? For example, I want to use as follows,
foreach (var elem in elems) {
    var res = elem.Elements("ClassKeyName");
    Console.WriteLine(res[0].Value);
}

However, I got this error message
xmlparse.cs(18,34): error CS0021:
Cannot apply indexing with [] to an expression of type
`System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<System.Xml.Linq.XElement>'

A: You'd just have to convert the results to an indexable type, such as a list:
foreach (var elem in elems) {
    List<XElement> res = elem.Elements("ClassKeyName").ToList();
    Console.WriteLine(res[0].Value);
}

(You can still use var if you want - I've just given it an explicit type to make it clearer in this case.)

A: If you only need the first, you can res.First().Value. If you need the n-th element res.Skip(n - 1).Value (so the first element is res.Skip(0).Value, the second res.Skip(1).Value...).
The big question is WHY? What do you want to do?

This is the final of 5 parts in a series reviewing the Legal Profession Uniform Law (LPUL), which is expected to take effect in Victoria and New South Wales on 1 July 2015. The first part considers cost agreements. The second part deals with disclosure. The third part deals with bills of costs. The fourth part deals with cost disputes.
Proportionate and reasonable in amount.
Thus, the concept of proportionality is introduced. This is a significant change, and it will be interesting to see how the Costs Court approaches this concept. Looking to the UK, where the proportionality test is in the process of review, a primary issue is whether the test is applied globally, on an item by item basis, or both. Previously, the approach taken in the UK was to assess the costs first for reasonableness, and then look at the total amount as to whether it was proportionate. The new position is to consider each cost for both reasonableness and proportionality. Using scale costs for discovery as an example highlight the possible issues with the different approaches. In another example, one charge by counsel for preparation may be disproportionate, but when looked at it total, counsel's fees may be proportionate.
The factors to be considered in allowing costs are set out in s 172 (2) and are similar to the factors in the Legal Profession Act. Section 200 also sets out the factors to be taken into account by a costs assessor in considering whether the legal costs are fair and reasonable. Again these are similar to the factors in the Legal Profession Act.
Compliance with disclosure provisions becomes important in the context of considering whether the costs are fair and reasonable, by reference to section 172(3), which provides that conformity with the other provisions of Part 4.3, the Uniform Rules and "any fixed costs legislative provisions" is a relevant factor in considering whether the legal costs are fair and reasonable.
Section 172 (4) provides that a costs agreement is prima facie evidence that the legal costs disclosed in the agreement are fair and reasonable, if all disclosure provisions have been complied with and the costs agreement does not contravene any other provision of Division 4. This supports fixed fee agreements.
if neither paragraph (a) nor (b) applies, according to the fair and reasonable value of the legal services provided.
It is unfortunate that there is no equivalent of s 3.4.19 to establish that a cost agreement overrides a scale or the PRO. However, s 172(3) brings scales and the PRO in as a factor in considering whether the costs are fair and reasonable, in that conformity with a "fixed costs legislative provision" is a factor to be considered. "Fixed costs legislative provision" is defined as "a determination, scale, arrangement or other provision fixing the costs or maximum costs of any legal services that is made by or under the Uniform Rules or any other legislation".
Reference also needs to be had to both the PRO and relevant Court Rules as these may apply the scale as the default basis of charge.
S 94 of the Act provides that the PRO may determine how a law practice can charge, and at present Clause 5 of each PRO provides that the various schedules will apply to non-contentious work. Order 63.62 of the Supreme Court Rules relates to contentious work where no proceedings are issues, and provides that the relevant court scale will apply. However, there is no provision in the Supreme Court Rules which clearly provides that the scale applies as between practitioner and client where proceedings have been issued, unless Order 63.34 can be read in this way.
In other jurisdictions, such as VCAT, the Federal and the Family Courts, there is no provision establishing the relevant scale of costs as the basis of charge between solicitor and own client. However, it can be assumed that these scales will be one reference point as to what are fair and reasonable costs.
The lack of specific reference to a scale could be seen as support for charging on a non-time basis. The provisions regarding the client's rights to negotiate the billing method, and a cost agreement being prima facie evidence of that the costs disclosed in the agreement are fair and reasonable, help practitioners to gain some certainty in entering into fixed fee agreements.
S 173 imposes an obligation on a law practice to not act in a way that unnecessarily results in increased legal costs, and to act reasonably to avoid unnecessary delay resulting in increased costs. Thus, a practitioner who advises a client to amend a pleading, resulting in costs associated with an adjournment, would have to establish that such advice was reasonable. A practitioner who undertakes work, where it would have been cheaper to outsource the work, can be said to have acted in a way that unnecessarily results in increased costs. The section really reflects the common law, but when considered with s 174((2)(b) and (3), which requires the lawyers to ensure the client understands and consents to the proposed course of action for the conduct of the matter, it is clear that the client must play a role in agreeing strategy and giving instructions as to how a matter will be conducted.

Audi has confirmed that the new S8 Plus will indeed be coming to North America. The more potent version of the German automaker's flagship sedan was first revealed in August, and Audi will bring it to the upcoming Los Angeles auto show.
The Plus model packs the same 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 as the existing S8 (and the Bentley Continentalfor that matter), but increases output from 520 horsepower to 605 hp and torque from 481 pound-feet to 516 lb-ft (or 553 on overboost). The result is a 0-62 time quoted at 3.8 seconds to give the likes of theMercedes-AMG S63, Jaguar XJR, and Maserati Quattroporte a run for their money.
Audi of America has not announced US pricing for the S8 Plus or final specifications for the American market. Look for an MSRP in the neighborhood of $140k. The Audi S8 Plus will debut in LA alongside the new RS7 Performance and the second-generation R8, which will be making its US auto show debut at the SoCal expo.


Only thing I'd do differently is allow them to add additional guests to their registration. Running a 2500 person conference and that is the most time consuming thing since members keep wanting to add people to their registration so they lock in the member pricing.
A great improvement - but it's important for a cancelled spot to NOT be reopened for registration if there is already someone on the waitlist.
PLEASE make it easier for attendees to cancel their OWN registration for events!
I think a lot of people are looking at online stores like Amazon and asking, why can't I change my order/registration? Like online ordering, edits might be restricted by date.
On slide 7 the information message at the top still says to contact Administrator to change. Is this still required if the self service option to cancel is available. If its allow modification of other options not including cancellation the message may need to be reworded.
What is the ETA for this?
I like the writeup! The best part is that it looks like you'll have a tab where members can see all of the events they've registered for/attended in the past.
I agree with others that we need a cancellation fee or credit holdback.
Maybe this is in "phase 2 implementation" but I'd like for that to kick in on a certain date. We charge a late registration fee of $5 within a week of the event which we handle by using additional registration types with date limitations. If we get a cancellation prior to the late fee date, we usually refund the full amount; if we get a cancellation request after that date we hold back the $5 late fee.
This way people aren't "scared away" from signing up early because they know they can cancel for free (for a while at least). This way they're much more likely to attend rather than wait till the last minute to make sure their schedule is free and maybe forget to register. But last minute cancellations are still discouraged because we've already given the caterer a headcount.
My comment pertains to the new design. We love the idea that the system will do the cancellation and issue a credit, but we need to be able to adjust the credit for a cancellation fee. Currently in Paypal, they still charge the 30 cent transaction fee for cancellations.
Looks great. I agree with other comments that the confirmation pop-up should say something like "Paid registrations will result in a credit".
I really like key change #1. That's been needed for a long time irrespective of the cancellation change.
I also like the options you've provided. It seems like those should cover the needs of almost everyone.
thanks for your comments about waitlist. Right now we're trying to understand if it's possible to include automatic movement from waitlist in the first release for this idea.
Please vote for this idea using link below and it will help us to understand for how many people this problem is important.
Hi, sorry but I cant get onto the forum from my cell phone.
We usually have a wait list for each event. I need the ability to cancel but its essential that the newly available space is reserved for someone on the waitlist.
The last system we had allowed people to cancel but didn't replace the slot with someone from the wait list, so a new sign up could sneak in and steel the spot from people already wait listed.
Thank you. This looks good.
Thank you. It will work for us with the option (Allow sending a cancellation request to event organizer). That will give us the opportunity to request a substitute rather than giving them a refund/credit for most of our events.
We supported this idea for the ability to edit the details of the event. The cancellation process doesn't handle or mention the cancellation fee they will be charged. If you are going to use days before the event as a cancellation trigger, it needs to have the ability to have numbers in the 120 to 180 range.
Unfortunately, don't see much here that couldn't have been handle by placing a button to send an email to the Event Coordinator to cancel.
Thanks! This will help streamline the process and not make the registrant wait for an admin.
Thanks for the design. It looks good.
A member can change their reservation by cancelling and rebooking (except when there's a waitlist).
The only little thing that might improve the member experience would be to add to the event confirmation email a macro that generates a link for "Cancel your reservation" only for events where this is available. The link could go to the member's Event Registration Details page where there is a prominent Cancel or Request Cancellation button.
And on the Cancel Event Registration dialog, better to say something like "If you paid, a credit will be applied," because some events are free and there may not be an invoice.
This looks great. What will happen if there is a waitlist - will the next person be automatically enrolled when a current registrant cancels?
Or do we continue to handle these manually?
