Peak Summit; dear Watson
By JASON BUGG
Saturday, Oct. 11
This year's Peak Summit Groove and Dance Festival features a jam-packed day of music and happenings, just how founder Myron Koch planned it. "(The Festival) keeps getting bigger and bigger as (Louisville) has grown … structurally this is the biggest the festival has ever been," he says. "I've toyed around with the format, but at this point we're doing it over eight venues, and it is the biggest thing I've ever done."
The event will include 10 indoor and outdoor stages on and near Shelbyville Road, including Bluegrass Brewing Co., Diamonds, Dutch's, Gerstle's, Saints Sky Bar, 60 West and Zazoo's.
Blues, reggae, funk, rock and all genres between aren't the only thing Peak Summit offers. This year's festival will feature art, fashion and improv comedy.
One key difference this year is that Koch will not be giving visual artists equal billing with the musicians. That has taken a backseat to accommodate the festival's size. Peak Summit starts at 7 p.m. on Saturday. Passes are $10. For more info, go to www.peaksummit.com.
Sunday, Oct. 12
The Watson Twins are stopping by their hometown with a big buzz in tow. The identical twin sisters' tight harmonies and country-tinged pop stir up folk-inspired strums of guitars and singing by a campfire. While it sounds hokey in theory, there's nothing ironic or moronic about The Watson Twins' music.
Previously known for their collaborations with Rilo Kiley lead singer Jenny Lewis, the twins are showing that their indie pop can stand on its own.
Sunday, they'll be joined by some of Louisville's best, including Johnny Berry, Mickey Clark, danny flanigan, Teneia Sanders and Leigh Ann Yost. It's a night fueled by a couple of folkies who aren't quite folkies. The Watson Twins play the Kentucky Center's Bomhard Theater (501 W. Main St., 562-0100) at 6 p.m. Tickets are $5.
Monday, Oct. 13
At the intersection of The Ramones' supercharged punk sound and Phil Spector-produced girl groups of the 1960s is the Athens, Ga., duo Cars Can Be Blue.
Singer/guitarist Becky Ann Brooks and drummer Nate Mitchell take Spector's "wall of sound" and the quick, dirty ethos of punk rock and form a fun mixture that will leave audiences swaying their hips and singing along with Brooks' spot-on mannerisms of Ronnie Spector and company. "Becky is a huge fan of '60s girl groups," Mitchell says. "She can really sing, and I think that is what separates us from other bands."
Cars Can Be Blue's sense of melody and adventure draws upon that era and early punk. "I think that's what the first wave of punk bands listened to, those bubble-gum bands with a sense of melody, and that's what we love also," Mitchell says.
"Our songs are short and fast, and I feel that is what bands were trying to do in the '60s, just to make the perfect pop single. Then the '70s came and everything slowed down. That's why punk came around, it shortened the songs again," he says. Cars Can Be Blue play at 10 p.m. at Nachbar (969 Charles St., 637-4377).
Crow's feet
BY KEVIN M. WILSON
Ketch Secor grew up in Virginia in the shadow of "old, weird America," where working-class heroes are celebrated and tradition still counts for something.
Entranced by ancient fiddle tunes and Bob Dylan's turn of phrase, Secor discovered, at an early age, the transformative power of song.
"Introducing the Beatles also had an enormous effect on me," he says. "John Lennon is such a huge part of the force that encourages kids to gravitate toward music. Even beyond the grave, he is a guiding light for young people who seek to use music as a vehicle for what they want to say."
In fall 1998, Old Crow Medicine Show fell together near Ithaca, N.Y., where Secor had relocated after high school. Secor and Old Crow's other like-minded musicians were all about 20 years old and open to adventure.
"We started out playing street corners up there and just walking into joints. Nothing was pre-arranged. I guess in the beginning we were seeking that Woody Guthrie kind of wandering experience."
Along the way, OCMS fashioned its own brand of string band music, a recording contract and a big ally in Doc Watson.
Though OCMS is embraced by traditionalists, Secor stresses one distinction worth considering. "We've never seen ourselves as a bluegrass unit," he says. "More like a rock band with claw-hammer banjo skills."
This sort of self-identification also accounts for the band's decision to employ the ever-eccentric Don Was to produce the latest OCMS project, Tennessee Pusher.
"Don intuitively gets what we are about," Secor says.
"He keeps equating us with the Rolling Stones, because he sees us as coming from that same school. And, in a way, Mick and Keith were very present at these sessions, because Don had made the last three Stones albums and was always sharing their stories and approaches to crafting songs."
In the end, OCMS clings to the notion that musicians are appointed to guide us through our collective hours of darkness.
"Good music can save you," Secor concludes. "It saved me, and it saved every member of the Old Crow Medicine Show."
Get your shot of salvation when Old Crow Medicine Show shares the stage with Felice Brothers at 8 p.m. Saturday at the Louisville Palace (625 S. Fourth St., 583-4555). Seats for the all-ages show range from $20-$30.

In traditional version of this sauce actually they dont use egg yolks, but egg yolks helped the mixture consistency so we use in this recipe. Feel free to omit the eggs, but be ready to work! Aioli sauce has plenty of garlic if the garlic taste is not enough do not hesitate to add extra.
After we have peeld the garlic, beat well in the small mortar with the salt. In a large bowl add egg yolks, mustard and lemon juice and start whisking. Add the extra virgin olive oil little by little and whisk well in the same time. When preparing the sauce, it is important that the oil is added little by little, otherwise you will have to cut off and have to start over. Once you start to get thicken consistency, add the garlic paste and mix well. Aioli sauce is ready.
If you do not want to use egg yolks, we will start in a small mortar and finising the sauce in the mortar. Beat the garlic together with salt and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil at each time and with circular movements, crushing, mixing and scraping. Continue processing until the olive oil disappears in the sauce and the sauce becomes thick. If the consistency is more thick, to make lightly add a little lemon juice or a few drops of water and continue mixing. Aioli sauce now ready.
In Spanish cuisine they usually served this sauce on fried potatoes in tapas. It is also good for fish and meat dishes, as well as for burgers and vegetable meals. Perfect for garlic lovers.

Q: Save Data in Arabic in MySQL database I have changed the charset of the tables and of the column, i get the arabic text as ???? marks in MYSQL database
here is the design of the table
  CREATE DATABASE mydb
  DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8
  DEFAULT COLLATE utf8_general_ci;

   CREATE TABLE `categories` (
   `category_id` tinyint(2) NOT NULL auto_increment,
   `category_name` varchar(50)character set utf8 NOT NULL ,
   PRIMARY KEY  (`category_id`)

   insert into `mydb`.`categories`
    (`category_id`, `category_name`)
    values (1,'کتگوری');
   commit;

When I again fire select query it shows ???? as text?
Can anyone tell me where am i doing wrong?

A: Change the database tables collations types to utf8_general_ci and also table fields collations change to utf8_general_ci.

A: To insert Arabic Data manually into your Phpmyadmin.
First you check either your database , table and column name is utf8 set or not.
If these are not set to utf8 then first you set it then you may insert arabic data into you db table.
YOU MAY CHECK EACH OF THESE BY LOOKING BELOW EXAMPLE.
For Database:
SELECT default_character_set_name FROM information_schema.SCHEMATA S
WHERE schema_name = "schemaname";

For Tables:
SELECT CCSA.character_set_name FROM information_schema.`TABLES` T,
       information_schema.`COLLATION_CHARACTER_SET_APPLICABILITY` CCSA
WHERE CCSA.collation_name = T.table_collation
  AND T.table_schema = "schemaname"
  AND T.table_name = "tablename";

For Columns:
SELECT character_set_name FROM information_schema.`COLUMNS` C
WHERE table_schema = "schemaname"
  AND table_name = "tablename"
  AND column_name = "columnname";

You may easily set utf8 to your tables if you are using SQLYog.
Just right click on db, table, column name and click on alter option and set to
Database Chartset = utf8
Database Collation = utf8_general_ci .
Just Enjoy ....

A: Make sure that your client software is also using UTF-8.
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/charset-connection.html

A: Try this code :
$conn = new mysqli($server,$username,$password,$dbname);
$conn->set_charset("UTF8");

A: To read ,write and sort Arabic text in mysql database using php correctly, make sure that:

*

*MySQL charset: UTF-8 Unicode (utf8)

*MySQL connection collation: utf8_general_ci

*your database and table collations are set to: utf8_general_ci or utf8_unicode_ci
Then, add this code in your php script when you connect to db:
mysql_query("SET NAMES 'utf8'");
mysql_query('SET CHARACTER SET utf8');

For more details

A: We can convert database or db table to uft8 supportive with below query:
ALTER DATABASE dbname CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;

ALTER TABLE tablename CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;

ALTER TABLE columnname DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci

Hope it helps !

Anthony's Marvel Comics picks for August 2016
May 22, 2016 Anthony Media
It's time for the monthly look at what's coming out from Marvel. Here's the full list of Marvel solicitations for August 2016.
Captain America: Sam Wilson #12, $4
Captain Marvel #8, $4
A-Force #8, $4
Ms. Marvel #10, $4
Spider-Man #7, $4
Guardians of the Galaxy #11, $4
Rocket Raccoon & Groot #8, $4
The Mighty Thor #10, $4
Spidey #9, $4
Howard the Duck #10, $4
Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur #10, $4
The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl #11, $4
Star Wars: Han Solo #3 (of 5), $4
Trade paperbacks/graphic novels
The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl Beats Up the Marvel Universe (original graphic novel) (HC), $25
Spider-Man: Miles Morales, vol. 1, $16
Black Panther: A Nation Under Our Feet, Book 1, $17
Power Man and Iron Fist, vol. 1: The Boys Are Back in Town, $18
Rocket Raccoon & Groot, vol. 0: Bite and Bark, $35
"Civil War II" continues unabated this month, for whoever's interested in following the latest crossover-du-jour.
"All-New X-Men" #12 comes with this line in its solicitation (a story involving time-displaced X-Men member Angel): "One is a time-displaced cosmically powered angel from the '60s." I assume in-universe at this point, Angel wasn't a teenager (or even alive) during the Kennedy administration, of course. I haven't written much about Marvel's use of sliding time, though "Marvel Time" seems more vaguely defined than even DC's already-vague usage. But assuming a year of comic time for every four years of real time (one estimate I've seen offered) it's been at least 13 years since "X-Men" #1 in 1963.
Marvel's not wasting much time getting out an initial trade paperback of Black Panther's newest comic series. Which might explain why it seems a bit short/padded out with reprints of older material, including his first appearance.
The most interesting item out this month is an original graphic novel featuring Squirrel Girl! In the vein of previous "so-and-so destroys the Marvel Universe" stories, this one features Doreen doing the same… or, I gather, an evil twin?

A20.0 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of bubonic plague. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
Bubonic plague is one of three types of bacterial infection caused by Yersinia pestis. Three to seven days after exposure to the bacteria flu like symptoms develop. This includes fever, headaches, and vomiting. Swollen and painful lymph nodes occur in the area closest to where the bacteria entered the skin. Occasionally the swollen lymph nodes may break open.

« 2015 NEWEST stand-up comedy: Fresh New Jokes and One-liner Jokes!
780 Boxes of Nitrous illustrating the fact that no matter how many boxes of nitrous you have, you will always want one more box. Letters are two boxes tall and each box contains 10 bulbs – all of them empty, of course.
My previous stance on substances was that, as long as one uses them as the icing on the cake of life, and not as the cake itself, they are acceptable, even desirable. Upon further reflection I have come to realize that this is not the case. Although my mind was very good at justifying my own behavior to myself, I see now that with all drugs I was merely self-medicating. Escaping a deeper problem, or distracting myself from it. I no longer advocate for their use.
Haha really? How many boxes is that? I have a huge stash right now, i assumed those people who pick up metal for free would come and clean up after me eventually. No such luck?

Q: send email through stdin on Debian: "Mailing to remote domains not supported" As per another answer, if you want to send mail directly from stdin, you can pipe it to sendmail -t, as in, printf "Subject: test\nTo: test@example.org\nFrom: test@example.com\n\ntesting" | sendmail -t.
However, when I've tried doing this on my Debian 7 (wheezy), I got nothing outside the box, and, from within, Mailing to remote domains not supported, from Exim4.  Suggested approach includes running dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config, however, there is not a single option to enable sending mail directly through SMTP, without also receiving it.
What's the easiest way to fix Exim4, or quickly replace it with something that's not nearly as complicated?!  I don't even need pool support, just a single attempt to send over SMTP.

A:
# fgrep remote /var/log/exim4/mainlog.1 | sed -E 's#([ <])[^ <]+@[^ >]+([ >])#\1a@b\2#g' | head -1
2019-01-08 00:47:00 1ggebk-00055M-St ** a@b <a@b> R=nonlocal: Mailing to remote domains not supported
#

Apart from installing dma as per https://packages.debian.org/jessie/dma, which is unavailable in wheezy, the solution for wheezy appears to be selecting the internet option within dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config, which, provided the other defaults are kept, doesn't actually open the SMTP port to the internet, because by default it'll only listen on the localhost IPv4/IPv6 addresses.

It appears that there's a Debian-specific /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf (yes, it's a double .conf.conf, that's not a typo), which plays a part in this fiasco.  Here's the relevant parts after running dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config and only changing the first option within the wizard, which enables sending mail, but appears to still keep the SMTP port open only to the machine itself (a default option if you just click-through in the reconfig):
dc_eximconfig_configtype='internet'
…
dc_local_interfaces='127.0.0.1 ; ::1'

Just learned that price of diesel, petrol and heavy oil have been revised to become 20% and 15% cheaper respectively. The price reduction has been effected after the urge of the Minister of Finance to economic operators to follow the trend of petroleum prices on the world market. The plea for price reduction has also been aired to members of the chamber of commerce with respect to the basic commodities. The Minister intends to reduce the inflation rate to one digit ratio. The Bank of Mauritius has also revised its repo rate by 0.50% downwards.
Since Sunday, we shifted our clock one hour in advance (summer time). But since Monday, i have a feeling of lethargy and my eating habit has been disturbed too. Although there are no major problems in waking in the morning, I do feel sleepy and tired afterwards as if I had not made my 8 hours sleep. When it comes to breakfast, lunch, and dinner, same fate. Do not eat well or no appetite at all. Sounds like i shifted to another country with totally different time slot. Ah well, hope to get accustomed. Have till March 2009 to get accustomed and afterwards rehave to adjust again!!!
Since Saturday, our PABX line went dead. We could neither make or receive calls. We did not bother and thought it would be only temporary. On Monday, same scenario. I decided to phone Mauritius Telecom on 8900. The operator took my contact info and I insisted that a technician be sent as soon as possible. The operator replied that a team will be sent on site should they be around. Later i noticed that ADSL line too was dead. This time i phoned 8902. Here again the opeator took my contact info and same rhetoric when i insisted that mails exchanges can not be made and we needed to send or receive faxes.
The boss' wife came into play and called X, Y, Z to phone MT to enquire and send technicians as soon as possible. Finally, she talked to one of our managers who happens to know someone at MT. Soon after the contact came and checked all our phone lines. He called MT and it was then that we came to know that a nervous system at Coromandel went down and it was the reason for the faults.
Day 2-Today. Still no ring tones. The wife again called the manager. He replied to her that the fault was common to all locations in Coromandel. Later surprise! MT technicians were around. They were very caring and asked about locations of central exchange box. It was in the afternoon that i knew (through the wife) that the manager after consultation with the boss promised the technicians a reward if they could solve the problem very quickly. No comments!!!

Fragmenten uit het boek 'Troon in old picture postcards'
<< | < | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | > | >>
Troon is a small traditional modern town with very little history , the rnain town centre only dating from the early 1800's. Before then it was a small coastal hamIet between Irvine and A yr in the parish of Dundonaid and consisting of a few small farms, fishermens cottages and an inn.
The name Troon was probably taken from the Gaelic 'AN - Trone', meaning 'The Nose' or 'The Bill'. The spelling of Troon had changed over the years: Trune, Trone, Tryne and Trwyn.
Smuggling was rife on Troon's shoreline. Matthew Hay and his cronies used the north shore ne ar where the salt pans were, to land his contraband spirits, tobacco etc.; from there it was spirited away to Loans, Dundonaid, Collenan and beyond, some times just ahead of the excise men and soldiers. Troon, in the early days, was owned by the Fullarton family, in 1344 they were granted a charter from King Robert lI, granting them the lands of Crosbie, Lady Isle and Orangefield which they owned till 1805 when it was sold to the Marquis of Titchfield, afterwards known as the 4th Duke of Portland, Marquis of Ailsa,
In 1707 William Fullarton was granted a charter
from Queen Anne to constitute a free port at Troon and form accommodation to receive vessels and charge a levy from all vessels landing or loading materials, it appears that little was done for nearly 100 years till the Duke of Portland started to develop the harbour, in 1808, and in 1815 a ship building yard was completed. In 1843 when the Duke leased it to the Troon Shipbuilding Company, who carried on building ships till 1885 when the Ailsa Building Company took over, which was subsequently nationalised, as most other yards were. With the run down of ship building in Scotland it was sold to an Australian businessman who still runs it, but on a much smaller scale.
A well-known landmark 'The Ballast Bank' was started about 1865 to form a shelter against storms and high tides for the harbour area. As its name suggests it was built from ballast, a lot of which came from ships arriving in the harbour to piek up their cargoes of coal, timber etc., which they transported to Ireland, the Americas and ot her parts of the world. Troon was at one time one of the busiest ports on the west coast of Scotland.
Troon has over its years had an industrial life such as
shipbuilding, railway rep air depot, ship breaking, saltworks and a sawmill, but sadly most of these have now gone.
The Duke of Portland's name still lives today in the name of streets such as Portland Street, Portland Terrace and Titchfield Road; also one of the oldest hotels, up till a few years ago was named the Portland Arms, the original hotel on that site was built by the Duke in 1812. It burnt down in 1847; later on it was rebuilt as we now know it.
In front of the Portland Arms was the passenger terminus for the first railway in Scotland, the Troon to Kilmarnock line, which was built by the Duke to transport co al from his mines near Kilmarnock to Troon harbour for export. The first waggons were pulled by horses, later on by one of the first steam engines, known as 'The Duke'. At a later time passengers were carried one shilling (five pence) being the fare for a return ticket Troon to Kilmarnock sitting inside.
Early in the 19th century Troon started to grow, many wealthy ship owners and merchants moved to Troon and built large houses. One was Charles Marr, who died in 1909 and left his estate for the
benefit of the children of Troon, to further their education, Sir Alexander Walker, the rnanaging director of Johnnie Walkers whisky firm in Kilmarnock, took over the management of the Trust, thereby ensuring that not only did Troon have a splendid College, but also a large fund for the future well-being of the College and the pupils, i.e. bursaries, sport equipment etc.
In 1810 the population of Troon was 200, today it is more than 14,000, so Troon expanded greatly. Now it is more of a dormitery town for other industrial and commercial towns surrounding it, as far afield as Glasgow.
The foregoing is a small potted history of Troon which we hope will give an insight to Troonites old and new. We also hope you will enjoy our collections of 'Old Troon' from 1880 to 1930 in postcards. Our sineere thanks to the following: Walter W. Clearie, M.A. for authentication, Mrs. Hogg, Miss Hogg Jr., Flora Wilson and June Paterson for assistance and the use of some postcards.

1. On the beach at Troon, early 1900's. A crowd of happy children wearing clothes of the period. The bearded man was the boat hirer, he is wearing a deep sea bonnet and would have been a retired seafarer. In the disrance in the centre of the picture is the area where Troon swimming pool was built in 1930/31 and later demolished in the 1980's.
"The Esplanade. Troon
2. Troon Promenade, early 1900's. An excellent view of Portland Terrace and Titchfield Road with the band stand in the middle (notice how flat the ground is - raised shortly after this to proteet the town from south-westerly gal es).
3. Troon Esplanade 1900. This photograph is taken from the area known as McCubbins Gangways but long before his time, there is no band stand on the shore front, the grass banking in Portland Terrace is missing, presumably this is taken before the Troon floods. The banking was installed shortly after to proteet the town. Note St. Clair Terrace are still not built.
4. 'The bathing station' at Betsy's Kim, opposite the top end of Welbeek Crescent. It was used till the swimming pool opened in 1931 near by.
The Beach, Troon.
5. South Beach around 1920. The bathing huts in the rear were pulled to the waters edge by horses, hence the large wheels.
Band' ~tand with Pipe Band, Troon.
6. The band stand about 1908, with band performing. It was built in 1906 and demolished in 1959 to make way for the paddling pool.

ConservativeHome's London Mayor blog
What should the next Mayor of London do in his first 100 days in power?
ConservativeHome in conjunction with the London Policy Institute today launches a debate to attempt an answer to this question. The Mayor of London is one of the most powerful executive positions in British politics with a control of a £12bn budget and substantial responsibilities for policing and transport and with a leading role to play in range of issues of vital importance to the future of London.
James Morris, Director of the London Policy Institute, offers 5 initial suggestions.
Take direct responsibility for the fight against violent crime. Take over the chairmanship of the Metropolitian Police Authority and call high profile, public meeting with the Metropolitian Police Commissioner. Publish specific action plan for combating violent crime and start tackling the problem from day one. Announce a series of monthly public meetings to track progress on the plan. Call for all Londoners to join in the fight. Make some high profile visits to trouble spots. Get momentum going.
Announce radical financial review of the GLA, its statutory bodies including a review of the Mayor's budget. The financial review should examine all aspects the Mayor's remit includng the Met and Transport for London and should deliver preliminary recommendations within the first 100 days. The review should consist of how many is spent, financial transparency and should look for tangible cost savings which can reduce the size of the GLA bureaucracy and free up resources.
Appoint new head of Transport for London. This is a crucial first appointment. Needs to be someone with a track record and the drive to take on the challenge of delivering tangible improvements to London's transport system, by investing more wisely, ensuring Cross-Rail happens and is delivered, and accelerating the upgrade of the underground. This will be a tough assigment but will need real focus.
Appoint a Mayoral cabinet. The Mayor should create a cabinet with individuals responsible for particular portfolios. Cabinet members could be drawn both from the London Assembly and outside to bring in expertise and talent to deliver on the Mayoral objectives. This will send the signal that the Mayor will govern more collegially and send the signal that improvements to London will come through a process of collaboration not Mayoral diktat.
Build bridges with the boroughs. The Mayor cannot deliver without working with the boroughs. Bring in the borough leaders and agree shared priorities.
What would you prioritise?

What London's Labour MPs think of Livingstone...
Harry Phibbs takes a look at Ken Livingstone's relationship with Labour's London MPs.
Livingstone is the Labour candidate for Mayor of London. But what do London's Labour MPs think of him?
Greg Hands has written on CentreRight about the curious incident of the London Labour MPs who signed a letter to The Guardian in support of Livingstone. Despite Livingstone being an official Labour candidate only a quarter of London Labour MPs endorsed him. The rest were like the dogs that Sherlock Holmes recorded didn't bark in the night. Naturally, MPs are busy people. But why might some have been reluctant?
Kate Hoey, the Labour MP for Vauxhall, says of the misuse of London Development Agency Grants: "The Mayor has been consistently misleading the public over the status of this review. It was not independent and it did not clear Lee Jasper or the LDA. People need to wake up about what is happening."
Nick Raynsford, the Labour MP for Greenwich and Woolwich, has criticised the Government for giving Livingstone planning powers for building over 82 feet for giving developers a "perverse incentive" to propose eyesores given Livingstone enthusiasm for tall buildings. Raynsford has also been critical of Livingstone adopting his own foreign policy.
Frank Dobson, the Labour MP for Holborn and St Pancras who once stood against Livingstone, says of him: "The better you know him the less you trust him."

Walaa Idris: Candidates like Lightfoot deserve more respect
Walaa Idris is the Chairman of Hans Town Ward in Kensington & Chelsea, and Chairman of her local Resident's Association.
Sometimes I don't have a clue what's going on these days. But as a Londoner and someone who follows politics with great interest I feel that the majority of sane and balanced Londoners share the general consensus that our Mayor "Mr. Ken Livingstone" is clearly not the man for London nor is he good for Londoners.
During his management of the capital, it seems that he achieved more bad than good, especially for small businesses and those on low incomes. To him democracy and the democratic process is nothing but a minor inconvenience that he could casually disregard. To him what Londoners want or think does not have a lot of importance or bearing on any matter. He does and shall continue to do as his dictatorship pleases. That alone should give any opponent a vast amount of material to fight him with.
So why are we giving him more than his weight?
Why does it seem as if our leadership is hurdling over themselves to promote him?
At this rate next May the man does not need to lift a figure campaigning, because it has all been done for him.

Petition to scrap third Heathrow runway
Angie Bray, along with other affected Tory Assembly members Tony Arbour, Richard Barnes, Elizabeth Howlett and Andrew Pelling (MP) have started an online petition urging the Mayor to use his influence and powers to persuade the Government to scrap the 3rd runway proposal for Heathrow. The petition will be presented to the Mayor at City Hall when complete. The prayer is:
"We, the undersigned call upon the Mayor of the London to use the influence of his office to persuade the Government to abandon plans to build a third runway, and sixth terminal at Heathrow airport, due to the detrimental effects such an increase in capacity will have on residents of west London who live under the flight paths. An additional runway would result in noise pollution, overloading on local roads and increased air pollution.
Residents already suffer a reduced quality of life, due to the high frequency of aircraft using Heathrow airport. The noise pollution is unrelenting, and air quality is deteriorating rapidly. A third runway will exacerbate these problems.
We also call on the Government to reject the immediate threat of a 'mixed mode' option for the existing runways, which would bring the detrimental effects of increased capacity much sooner and have serious safety implications for our over-crowded skies.
There is no better place to start matching the rhetoric on climate change than abolishing the third runway proposal."

Aristeides: The Mary Poppins candidate
This is the fifth and final instalment of Aristeides' vision for a London Mayor.
"It's the street tax paid to drunk and drug-ridden panhandlers. It's the squeegee men shaking down the motorist waiting at a light. It's the trash storms, the swirling mass of garbage left by peddlers and panhandlers, and open-air drug bazaars on unclean streets."
These were the words and sentiments used by Rudolph Giuliani when he won the New York Mayoral election in 1993 – the first Republican to do so in decades. Giuliani understood three very important things: that people latch onto quality of life issues; that fixing them is perfectly possible even in the face of hostility, bureaucracy and ridicule; and that doing so brings dynamic and, eventually, revolutionary results. Even though Giuliani lost in his first attempt to become Mayor, once elected on the back of these policies, he won re-election by a landslide. Conservatives forget this lesson at our peril.
The question that remains though is do we have a Giuliani?

Aristeides: A Beautiful City
This is the fourth article in a five-part series this week.
One of those terms that used to be intimately associated with conservatives – whether with a big or a small "C" – was civic pride. In an age where new expressions like "social responsibility" or "environmental awareness" are the favoured concepts, there remains an opportunity for Conservatives to frame their interpretation by ensuring that London's streets and public places are attractive enough to inspire a greater – even enviable - sense of general wellbeing.
For example, if Dick Whittington were to arrive in London for the first time today, just as an unprecedented number of newcomers will in 2012, he would be surprised to find out that instead of the streets being paved with gold, they are in fact paved with chewing gum. There are very few clearer instances of failure in corporate social responsibility than the case of chewing gum, where manufacturers are so dissociated from the negative social and environmental consequences of their product. Fast food corporations – far from paragons in this field – at least demonstrate an effort by actively sponsoring litter reduction schemes of various kinds. The Mayor would politely request that chewing gum companies contribute to a London-wide scheme for gum disposal and removal. If an appropriate response is not forthcoming, the Mayor will fund and lead a campaign for the introduction of excise duty on gum to enforce the funding of these activities and to discourage gum littering.

Aristeides: London Transport
This is the third article in a five-part series this week.
On Monday, I referred to the sheer dysfunctionality of London's systems and infrastructure. Surely, nothing could exemplify this better than the London Underground.
To start with, the tube is unutterably filthy. Some parts of it do not look like they have ever been cleaned in all one hundred years of their history. Tube drivers use face masks when they are sealed in cabins, whereas passengers are made to wait for minutes at a time looking over the black dust – half an inch thick – on the tracks and walls. The fact that vermin are ever present on the tracks is treated as a curiosity rather than a cause for preventative action. The trains, benches and escalators are apparently a receptacle for the tens of thousands of free newspapers, distributed daily with barely any thought for their disposal whatsoever.
People might say that there are 'more important' things that the Underground need to get right, such as running the trains on time, than cleaning up some dirt, but that is to deny the intimate association between cleanliness and operational functionality: who ever heard of a successful – but filthy – enterprise?

Aristeides: A Safe City
This is the second article in a five-part series this week.
The policing of London is currently in a parlous state. The cringing incompetence of the leadership has sapped the ethos from the force, resulting in an unbelievable sloppiness and nonchalance in respect to crime. Those in charge do not appear to care that police constables can be seen stopping at cash points and carrying Starbucks or bags of McDonalds while in uniform. The once-proud Peelers have been reduced to a day-glo cohort of souped-up lollipop ladies, encouraged to dawdle along in pairs when not form-filling and issuing pro-forma letters of regret that you have been a victim of crime. Surely no police recruit signs up for this? Meanwhile, packs of pubescent wolves prey on the vulnerable at dank, deserted zone 3 stations; youths congregate menacingly on the buses; and a mean, noxious atmosphere prevails in great swathes of the city.
The Conservative mayoral candidate will state that their victory in the election will be a vote of no confidence in the current disgraceful leadership of the Metropolitan police. Sir Ian Blair will be sacked. The new Chief Constable and his team must live in London and must not accept honours until their job is done. Their priorities must include the following: the pursuit of terrorists without fear or favour; installing an ethos of diligence, agility and pride within the force; and a commitment to the techniques and tactics that reduced crime in American cities so successfully in the past decade and a half.

Aristeides: A voice in the wilderness
Over the coming week, Aristeides will provide the policies that he hopes will back up the vision to make London the best city in the world and a fitting host for the Olympic Games when they take place at the end of the next mayoral term. At the end of the week, to add a little magic, he will propose a "Mary Poppins candidate" for Mayor, in other words the candidate who can fly in over the heads of the current worthy but unexceptional candidates and who is practically perfect in every way.
Who could read Darren Caplan's cry of despondency at the end of last year without wishing to join in and weep with him? Here we are at the beginning of a New Year, yes, still with no 'striker' yet in place, no policy program to speak of, and that sinking feeling that Ken will sleepwalk to victory come 2008. The silence – Darren says – is deafening.
Well, let me be the first to whimper in 2007, and say, Darren, it doesn't have to be this way. Actually, we still have plenty of time to get things in place – the election is in mid-2008, for goodness' sake. We can establish a vision for London, and it does not have to be a 'limited mayoralty' which, frankly, is not going to entice people to the polls. No, we can put together an ambitious program to wrest the mayoralty from Ken Livingstone's grasp, with one aim at its core: to make London the best city in the world.
Now, this may provoke some sniggers initially, but the idea is not so far fetched when you think about it. We - speaking for Tory Londoners, here - in a time of far greater mobility than ever before, when we can live in any number of cities, towns and villages, choose to live in this city, and many more choose to work in it. The International Olympic Committee, thanks in large part to Lord Coe and his team's powers of persuasion, chose to visit us with the largest and most prestigious sporting event in the world. If so many are prepared to vote with their feet, London can't actually be that far off being the best place to be.

Report Card: Livingstone and the London Assembly members
London Salmon reviews the year that was in London politics from a conservative perspective. See original posts here and here.
Where to start? Chavez, oil for Oyster, Cuba, Castro, walnut whips, suspension, getting away with suspension, fare increases, council tax increases, Olympic overspend, Metronet getting worse, congestion charge increase, ignored consultations on West London Tram…… Every situation that springs in to mind is associated not with a new policy that will benefit millions of Londoners, but with Ken either making a disgrace of himself and his office, or being very economical with the truth.
The only good thing I can think of on the policy front is the progress on the Low Emissions Zone, which looks like it could be a relatively fair and effective environmental policy.
The other flagship policies have all had holes found in them, average traffic speeds in the congestion charge zone are now at an historical low of just 10mph, whilst air quality has got worse and the tube upgrade is plodding along too slowly.
Overall crime has probably gone down (with stats these days, who can be sure either way?) but violent crime has almost certainly gone up. We've also had 9-5 Safer Neighbourhood Teams, 'rent a shiny jackets' with no power to enforce the law, and who spend more time filling out forms and drinking tea than preventing anti-social behaviour.
But the real assessment of Ken's performance comes on the personal front. He managed to get himself suspended for making a Nazi jibe to a Jewish reporter, only to get un-suspended on appeal. He hosted Venezuelan despot Hugo Chavez at City Hall, and then tried to visit him in November, only to be stood up by El Presidente. Cuba had to suffice.
He got into a row with the government about the Olympic overspend, and admitted that he is rephasing most of the traffic lights around western extension of the congestion charge, in order to soften up motorists for the February 2007 launch.
In any other city, in any other country, Ken would be very unpopular. Yet he's still there, and has a habit of defying his critics. Next year will be a crucial moment in his Mayoralty, with the western extension of the congestion charge coming online, and the selection of his Tory opponent for 2008. The points for his disgraces must be balanced with points for his ability to ride out the storms. 6/10

Inauguration of the Espai Roqué
November 15th, 2019 ICFO will be home to a sculptural installation project conceived by renowned Catalan sculptor in collaboration with ICFO
Representatives of the world of culture, friends and family of the late artist Agustí Roqué will gather at ICFO for the inauguration of a permanent exhibit space which will display nine models of sculptures conceived by the artists during an almost two-year period of memorable collaboration with the institute.
Agustí Roqué, born in Barcelona in 1942, is an internationally renowned representative of the Catalan iron sculpture tradition. He carried out major projects and works of public sculpture in Europe and the United States, with numerous exhibits in prestigious galleries and museums around the world. Demonstrating an inclination to evolve and explore throughout his career, Roqué came to ICFO in 2014 in search of scientific context for an exhibition about a phenomenon that had become increasingly present in his studies and to which he wanted to pay particular tribute: Light.
ICFO engaged enthusiastically in the project, proposing scientific concepts that provided metaphorical inspiration for the artist's creativity. Through intense dialogues with Dr. Marta García-Matos and ICFO's director, Lluis Torner, Roqué delved into the science and essence of light, space, and the universe, using these new insights to inspire the materials and forms of the sculptural project entitled "There's a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in".
The final works in large format, reflecting the ideas inspired by light, were intended for exhibition at the 57th Venice Biennale, but were not yet complete at the time of the artists' unexpected death in February 2017. The models of the nine sculptures created in this project will be on permanent display in ICFO's facilities in Castelldefels, paying homage to the artist's memory and his work.

It can be a heart-stopping question for parents: "Where is my child?" In parks, at beaches or in any public setting, your kid can wander out of view in an instant. But technology can provide some peace of mind in the form of a lightweight GPS tracker that can last a day or two on a charge, and offers frequent and reliable updates on your child's whereabouts. Some of these trackers are watches, some are meant to blend in with your child's backpack and work in the background, and some even give you the power to detect possible danger in your child's vicinity.

Lake Mojave is an incongruity – blue, sparkling water in one of the driest regions of the continent. The waters of the Colorado derive from rain and snow melt in the high mountains of Wyoming, Utah, and Colorado. The river works its way through the canyon lands and finally reaches the sere, brown treeless landscape of Arizona and Nevada. The drought lands of these two states, even before human water withdrawals, demand more water from the river than they give – the evaporation off Lake Mead is greater than Nevada's total legal water allotment. And yet we go boating on clear, blue shimmering water in the middle of the Great American Desert.
And that's only one of the contrasts that make Lake Mojave such a joy for cruising. Here one can spy a mountain lion or a bighorn sheep in the wild wilderness of deep canyons and dry washes during the day, and sit at a casino buffet in Laughlin for dinner. Should you opt for wilderness and swing on a hook in a lonely cove amidst the wild, avoiding those beckoning tables and piles of food, you still can't get away – the bright lights of Las Vegas create a glow to the north, and a similar shine brightens the night sky to the south over Laughlin.
Why, even the name is a contrast. The Spaniards called the desert area Mojave, the natives call it Mojave, even some towns are named Mojave – but the National Park Service calls the lake – Mohave. Now, it would be nice to blame the misspelling on the inability of eastern politicos who can't pronounce Spanish, but they aren't to blame. Nevada's own senator, Sen. Bible, named the lake, Mohave, in the enabling legislation for the expansion of the Lake Mead National Recreation area. He knew it was Mojave, but apparently thought it would be easier to give the name a phonetic pronunciation after hearing those eastern dudes mispronounce Mojave. Nevadans are a stubborn breed, though, without much respect for those in Washington, DC, so most still write the name Mojave (just as we still call Boulder Dam, Boulder Dam – not the name of some politician, Hoover).
Another important incongruity for boaters on Lake Mojave is the amazing geologic contrast. As you cruise upriver from Davis Dam, you pass next to a high mountain mass, the mountain sacred to natives, Spirit Mountain. It is the spire crowning the Newberry Mountains, a huge mass of light-colored rocks, deeply incised by canyons (that make marvelous anchorages). Farther north, the lake spreads out into a broad basin edged by sloping gravel. Then, above Cottonwood Landing, you cruise into the depths of a beautiful, rugged canyon. Rock walls tower above the water and you enter a glory of sheer rock and steep side-canyons. Geologists have been scrambling over those rocks scratching their heads for a hundred years – some searching for mineral wealth (and finding it) and others trying to decipher the clues left behind in the rock.
The colorful rocks that make the setting of Lake Mojave contain fragments of geologic history that date back over two billion years; nearly half of the Earth's almost 5 billion-year history. There are amazing tales of continental collision, crustal stretching and rupturing, volcanic eruptions, and carving of the land by water.


The storied pizzeria has operated for 30 years and will continue to run its location in south Fort Collins.
The storied Old Town Fort Collins eatery Cozzola's Pizza was sold this week and will be renamed later this spring.
The 30-year-old 241 Linden St. pizzeria was purchased by Corina Miller on Monday. The Fort Collins native and Poudre High School graduate often frequented the location when she was growing up in the area and recently moved back after studying architecture in Boston.
The Cozzola's Pizza location at 1112 Oakridge Drive, which opened in 1997, will continue to operate as normal.
Restaurant founder Dave Cozzola, who opened the original Old Town restaurant in August of 1987, said he's downsizing the operation to spend more time with his wife and daughters.
Miller said she's keeping the entire 17-member staff at the Old Town location. She'll rebrand the restaurant later this spring.
While the Old Town Cozzola's will get a new name, Miller is retaining the restaurant's recipes. During past Coloradoan "best of" competitions, Cozzola's claimed the best pizza title 16 years in a row.
Miller has worked in the restaurant industry for more than decade. She studied at the University of Colorado in Boulder before obtaining her Master's Degree at Boston Architectural College.
"This just seems like a good time for me," said Miller, who is also in the process of designing her own tiny home.

Q: Qual é a vantagem do ponto e vírgula em linguagens de programação? Sei que em linguagens de programação como Java e C#, o ponto e vírgula indica o fim da instrução, como no exemplo abaixo, em C#:
System.Console.WriteLine("Hello, World!");

Porém, ainda sim existem linguagens em que o ponto e vírgula não é necessário (e nem possível), como no caso do Visual Basic, F#, Go, entre muitas outras.

*

*Qual é a vantagem de se indicar o fim das instruções?

*No caso do C#/VB, indicar o fim da instrução faz do C# mais performático
que o VB.NET na compilação?

A: Não muda na performance, isso é apenas sintático, sequer é semântico.
A primeira vantagem óbvia é que permite que instruções (statements) possam ser escritas em mais de uma linha, o que pode organizar melhor e deixar o código mais legível em algumas situações. Essa é uma forma de dar um ponto final na "frase". Ao mesmo tempo permite mais de um statement na mesma linha.
Algumas linguagens preferiram estabelecer que só poderia ter uma linha e o indicador de nova linha marca o final da "frase".
Claro que é possível ter outras soluções para essa necessidade, como indicar um marcador específico quando precisar continuar em outra linha.
Outra vantagem menos óbvia é a redundância. Por incrível que pareça redundância em código pode torná-lo mais confiável que está expressando a ideia certa e evita cometer erros por algum descuido. Além disso o compilador pode identificar erros mais facilmente e talvez dar uma mensagem mais próxima do que precisa para corrigir. É possível dar boas mensagens sem ter um terminador de instrução, mas complica bastante o compilador.
O mesmo ocorre com o humano que vai ler. Ter algo visual que mostre que a instrução encerrou ajuda os olhos dar um "parse" no texto.
E não podemos deixar de considerar a vantagem de que linguagens populares usam há muito tempo, e ter algo que as pessoas já estão acostumadas ajudam a aceitação de novas linguagens.
Escrever compiladores para linguagens sem terminação explícita do statement é mais difícil, então é uma vantagem para o outro lado, o dos escritores de compiladores :)
Mas eu acho mais limpo sem ele. Acho que polui e geram erros sem necessidade em muitos casos porque a pessoa esqueceu de colocar o terminador. Ser mais limpo não quer dizer que é melhor, mas é indiscutível que menos informação é algo mais limpo. Claro que limpeza demais pode trazer outros problemas. Quando a limpeza tira a proteção pode ser ruim.
Mas se a linguagem foi criada para usá-lo, deve usar, mesmo que seja opcional. Estou falando do JavaScript que as pessoas agora "resolveram" que não precisam mais do ponto e vírgula.
Há brigas religiosas por causa deste e outros tópicos de sintaxe de linguagens de programação.


"Images that transcend their dream-like qualitites and possess a quirky sense of reality."
"Stabin's work is described as a moment of transcendence, where one is transported to unexpected places."
"Stabin uses culturally universal symbols—animal deities, often juxtaposed with chaste girl-children to create environments that are as much tender, adolescent dreams as forays into solitary intimacy."
"Like Dali's oozing clocks, time appeared distorted to Stabin-even the more so as he was literally painting for his life."
"Victor Stabin won the top prize in the NEPA Regional Art exhibit for 2006, a biennial art show featuring the best work by artists from northeast Pennsylvania and surrounding counties in New Jersey and New York."

Shadow said that Jeanie found her when she was just six month old and living on the street. She was afraid of everything including humans. In another place, the humans used to hit her and the other dogs attaceked her. That would NEVER happen around here. Jeanie spent a long time getting her to be confident. She used to bark all the time. She siad it took eight months for her to stop barking every time she heard a sound, but now she's better. Now, she's not afraid of anything. She lives in Hempstead with Roger, and jumps up on him before he has a seizure. Normally, we wouldn't jump on anyone, but sometimes that's the only way to get Roger to sit down before he has a seizure.
Jeanie took me somewhere new for our nighttime walk. I still get a little nervous at night - things move so quickly and there are more shadows. We went to a diner - not inside, but up a ramp and to the door. Then someone named Katy came out to see us. I wanted to go in, but Jeanie said I'm not ready yet. I guess she's right, because I tried to pull her in, which I'm not supposed to do but she remineded me to "sit" and I remembered my manners.
On the way home, we met a lady and her little girl. They were a little bit afraid of me, but they're afraid of all dogs, except Elli. Everyone loves Elli! I want them to love me too, so I sat and shook hands and was very polite. I only tried to sniff a little. Then, a whole car full of people stopped! They said I was soooo cute! They didn't get out, which was good, because there were a lot of them, and I get a little nervous around a lot of people at once.
Now, we're home! I'm so excited I'm running as fast as I can around the backyard! I LOVE going back home, even if it's Elli's home and not mine. I'm safe here. Someday, when I graduate and get my own human, I'll have my own home, and Elli can come and visit. We play "sit" and "down" and then it's time for bed.


Ratepayers appeals that have already been delayed for several years whilst the hard-pushed Valuation Office Agency struggles to produce the 2017 Rating Revaluation now face the prospect of being deemed invalid or void due to a controversial Rating decision by the UK Supreme Court.
Leading accountancy group Mazars were the subject of a Supreme Court decision last year due to the company owning offices on separate floors of a building. The court ruled that the floors should be treated as separate properties for business rates, a decision that significantly increased their rates bill.
In leaked documents made public by the Mail on Sunday it was revealed that in the future valuation officers should use the Woolway v Mazars case as a model for other companies, a decision that overturns practice that had previously been in place for over 50 years.
Any firms affected by the changes could face their current appeals being dismissed and would therefore be required to make new claims for each area of their premises.
Unless the government act quickly to change the law, ratepayers could stand to lose millions of pounds in anticipated rates rebates that should otherwise be forthcoming due to challenges in rateable value.
