Opinion: The joys of fatherhood!
Having children will give you wings!
Some men and women hate children or find them a tremendous bother. On the surface, it stands to reason. Children require constant attention, get sick, cost money, take away most daylight hours, take away most nighttime hours as well, suck energy, put jam on everything, stomp dry-docked surfboards, get slivers, cry because they don't want their sliver taken out, cry because their sliver is still embedded, need to get driven from school to soccer to slumber parties until 16-ish, etc. How can be there time to surf or sex with such demands? In reality, though, only the unimaginative father and/or abuse mother will ever let the cost of child rearing detract from the benefit.
Biological narcissism: Young Narcissus, in Greek mythology, became so enamored with his own reflection as it bounced off of a river that he stuck his whole head in and drowned. A parent, staring at his or her own offspring will experience similar awe. The genes, as they re-order themselves in another sentient being, are wondrous to behold. It does not matter if parent is physically lacking or ugly…the offspring, as reflection, inspires. And there is no danger of drowning in a river while starring at this reflection. Only the danger of getting jam smeared somewhere permanent and annoying.
Pride: It is a good thing to do something well and, likewise, get praised for doing it well. Compliments, though, are a minefield for the grown up. When people tell me they like my writing, for example, I never take this statement as fact. I think to myself, "Yeah? Well of course you are going to say that to my face…" or "Hmmmmm. Really?" But when people tell me my child is beautiful I know that it is so and think, "Damn straight." A child allows for pure, undiluted acceptance of adulation. Especially if she is as beautiful as mine.
Strength: "Dad strength" gets spoken of and I knew what it was, because my dad could probably still smoke me even though he is old, but never knew how to get it. In retrospect it is obvious. Become a dad. I am stronger than I have ever been in my life and it is a thick, brutal strength. A rough dumb strength. I think it comes from carrying a little baby every single day. The little baby starts somewhere near ten pounds and then grows, slowly, to twenty then thirty then forty then fifty etc. It is so slow and the dad carries always and so his muscles slowly grow too. It is like the parable of a frog getting killed in a pot when the temperature slowly raises to boiling. Such incremental build is not noticeable in the moment but after time the frog is dead and boiled. And the dad is a strange muscleman.
Rage: Rage is a fine thing to have and especially when combined with strength. Of course it can get out of control. It can be a fire that burns helpless innocents to the ground or looks very silly when poured out upon a late night barista who happens to use soy instead of whole milk. But it can also be glorious. Since becoming a father, I have roared more people off waves than I can even count. The wave is always twice as satisfying afterward. I know a father who roared once in the surf because someone was in the way and it was accidentally a Bra Boy. At the moment he felt so strong and brave. Later he feared for his life and maybe still fears for it today. Rage makes a man or woman feel alive. And children are the root cause of rage because they make a parent excessively tired thus short-circuiting the parental brain and also create an evolutionary craving to protect them. When cars drive too fast down my street I lose my very mind and slam their hoods, curse their drivers etc. Recently, I tried to strangle a driver but was pulled off by another dad who lived nearby. He said he was only protecting me because, once, he threw a chainsaw at a car that sped by and almost went to jail.
Passion: When children come along it is sometimes more difficult to surf or skate or snow or do any sort of pastime. It would maybe be a downer except when a free thirty minutes comes along and I can paddle out it is a glorious thirty minutes. First, it feels very nice. Second, with the strength and the rage, I catch many waves and try to surf each like Sunny Garcia. I try and throw buckets of spray and bury my rails deep and arrrrrgh. I am passionate, now, like Sunny Garcia when I surf and that is very much better than surfing like Michael Dunphy.
Riches: I am trying very hard to get rich but there are setbacks from time to time and frustrations. But a child brings riches near. Of course they cost money themselves and in that way, they make a man or woman work and work hard. My head has never been further down, my stronger-every-day shoulder pressing the wheel. I won't fail. But if I do, my daughter is very beautiful and she can be a model or an actress or a singer and I can be Billy Ray Cyrus. Proud. And rich.
Satisfaction: At the end of the day, though, nothing but nothing is as satisfying as an offspring's smile. It makes up for all the missed surfs, skates, snows, sexes whatever. Because that smile is very beautiful. Only a parent knows that unless the father is unimaginative, the mother abusive. A finely executed, perfectly timed cutback on a head high wave comes close. But the child's smile is better 8 times out of 10.
As first seen in What Youth!
I'm taking a wait and see approach with Kelly's pool. Today's Los Angeles Times article points out, "The video shows a maelstrom of backwash behind the wave that would take time to settle before another wave could roll through...Lochtefeld, 63, says that is the 'kiss of death' for any commercial venture, in which a wave needs to roll every 10 to 20 seconds.

Just in: Slater's Wavepool is Open!
By Rory Parker
But only for a precious few!
New Slater pool footage dropped while I was sleeping. Not a bad thing to wake up to. Sip on some coffee, try and wrap my head around the whole affair. I typically do the grocery shopping in our house.
Because I'm a bit of a cheap-ass I usually just buy whatever coffee is on sale. The more expensive stuff definitely tastes better, but I don't care. Coffee is a caffeine delivery mechanism for me. Just like booze exists to get me drunk, not sip on and wax rhapsodic about nuances of flavor.
But the wife decided she wants good stuff. Grabbed a bag of $25 per pound local Kauai grown. Coconut caramel crunch flavor. Given that she doses every cup with heavy whipping cream and four tablespoons of sugar, I don't get the point. I drink my shit black, because that's what real men do. I'd bet I could swap out the nice stuff with Folgers garbage and she wouldn't notice the difference.
Slater's wave pool is exciting. Rushing it into production, then letting the world watch as it flounders would be a terrible idea. Just look at Surf Snowdonia. So much hype, all the excitement come to naught when it became clear the wave kind of sucks. And shit keeps malfunctioning.
I tried her sickly sweet concoctions. Barely even tastes like coffee. So I've just gotta assume her preference is a matter of perception. It tastes better because more expensive coffee does. Similar to how a set of fancy pants fins don't make the average person surf any better. But if you feel like you're gonna rip, you might as well be actually doing so.
Slater's wave pool is exciting. Probably still has some kinks to work out. If it didn't they'd be building 'em all over. But it's good they're taking their time. Rushing it into production, then letting the world watch as it flounders would be a terrible idea. Just look at Surf Snowdonia. So much hype, all the excitement come to naught when it became clear the wave kind of sucks. And shit keeps malfunctioning.
"A spokesman for WaveGarden, Felip Verger, says that though the parks will be capable of making bigger waves like Slater's, they probably won't, because that would raise energy costs and reduce the number of waves, meaning fewer surfers could be in the lagoon at a time."
Wave pools are like porn. Well groomed, looks easy in the hands of pros. But the reality is challenging. Unnatural pumping, weird angles. Magic moments are rarely handed to you. Gotta put in effort, do your time. Figure out how everything works.
I cleaned pools for years. Best job I ever had. Only once did I show up to a nude customer lounging in the hot tub, waiting. Guy was in his seventies. It was a bit awkward. Let it go, the guy tipped great on holidays. No, that's not a euphemism.
I'm taking a wait and see approach with Kelly's pool. Today's Los Angeles Times article points out, "The video shows a maelstrom of backwash behind the wave that would take time to settle before another wave could roll through…Lochtefeld, 63, says that is the 'kiss of death' for any commercial venture, in which a wave needs to roll every 10 to 20 seconds."
Nat, Kanoa, Kelly, and Carissa tear shit apart in the few clips we see. Nat's barrel is baffling. Carissa shows the thing has enough power and wall to do an actual carve.
But the split-second glimpse we get of Wingnut standing tall after a log pocket ride spoils the dream a tad. Guy's nearly my size, a reminder that an overhead barrel for Moore is a shoulder high runner to me. Yeah, Young's pretty tall, by surf standards, but it's not like I have the flexibility or talent to actually make that fast tiny backside tube.
Still, it's damn neat, huh? A self contained wave's been a decades long dream. Unreal we're almost there.
I'm sure we'll see a future where these things are common. Landlocked wannabes will be able to live the dream. They'll take vacations, flood lineups, learn real quick there's more to surfing than just standing up. We're gonna see rich kids with season passes tossing kickflips into the flats, stalling sliding into ridiculously long barrels. Then hopping a flight to Hawaii and doing their very best Rick Kane.
They still won't know how to read the ocean.
Will get their asses kicked the first time they try to paddle out. More than a few people will decide surfing's more fun when you eliminate the grind, retreat back into the ease of a pool.
Localism: The experts weigh in!
National Geographic exposes surfing's charade!
James Joiner is a journalistic renaissance man. A photographer/filmmaker/writer with two fingers on pop culture's pulse and two other fingers making a peace sign/smoking a cigarette/playing a piano. He has had stints across the board with Esquire, The Daily Beast, Vice etc. but his latest for National Geographic surely wins because it is National Geographic, of course, but also because he tackles the topic of surf localism in a thorough, captivating way.
Let's dip in!
Across the Internet, surfers have been cheering at the thought of one of the world's most infamously localized breaks opening up for general use, with those who speak up against the suit being quickly shouted down in comments sections.
Some long-time surfers feel this widely publicized case against localism has come to represent more than a battle over a small break. It's indicative of an ongoing battle between traditionalists and new school riders over surfing's very soul.
"We've protected this beach for years," McCullom told the LA Times in 1995, in one of many articles the paper has published about the town's forbidden break. "This is why: so we can have driftwood on the beach rather than Kentucky Fried Chicken boxes. If this place was ever opened up, it would be packed with lowriders, guys in VW bugs; the rocks would be marked with graffiti, and the beach wouldn't be safe at night."
Many surfers are quick to note that he's not without a point—even 21 years ago, neighboring beaches in Torrance and Long Beach were rife with overcrowding and litter, a stark contrast to the clean sands of their "protected" stretch of Lunada Bay. But it's not just crowds that localism targets—it's also a method of self-policing, enforcing respect among the ranks for each other and, especially, for the ocean. Localism has always been an undercurrent of the surf scene, an at times harsh punishment for infractions in an oftentimes harsh activity. Yet now, in many places, it's being phased or, some will claim, gentrified out.
"Up until fairly recently you wouldn't even dream of getting in the water if you weren't from the neighborhood," Jeff Johnson, a lifelong surfer and noted adventure photographer, explained in reference to a surf break near Ventura. "If you were an outsider you'd get hassled for even checking the waves. But now it's a free-for-all."
How good is Jeff Johnson? I think very good and an expert. Would you like to hear from another expert? Of course you would!
Chas Smith had a different take, likening these territorial surfers to drug addicts chasing their next adrenaline fix rather than a tribe of spiritual, if testosterone-filled, modern-day warrior poets.
"I think surf localism exists because surfing makes people insane," he said. "The longer a man surfs, the more insular and selfish he becomes. Paranoid like Gollum. He wants the preciouses all to himself. He can't stand someone even looking at them … Talk of surfers being a 'tribe' or maintaining 'chill vibes' or anything like that is all lies. Surfers are decrepit addicts. Nothing more."

A bloodied Trump supporter in Costa Mesa, not our surfer pal, however…
Fresh: Surfer Goes To Trump Rally!
By Jake M Tellkamp
The Republican nominee performs in Costa Mesa! Town raises hell!
Ever been to Costa Mesa, the modest neighbor just inland of Newport Beach? It's not too terrible of a destination. Plenty affordable Orange County standards and just up the hill from the playful peaks of 54th st.
The hip thrive in Costa Mesa. What Youth operates here, and The Growlers, (a popular psychedelic-surf-rock-band with a tendency to write songs that sound the same), call the area home as well. Their combined residencies attribute to Costa Mesa's aesthetic of cool. Lots of black denim cuffed at the ankles here and as displayed on national television, a deep burning anger for Donald Trump.
Trump held his rally at the Orange County Fairgrounds last Thursday night, predictable, as the O.C is a conservative stronghold. Thousands came to hear him talk Muslims and Mexicans, but Costa Mesa's Millennials and Latinos were also there… to raise hell.
As the right wing were entranced by Donald in the fair ground's amphitheater, pissed-off youth paced the parking lot drinking beer and spray painting, "Fuck Trump" on the street. Mexican flags waved alongside American ones in protest of Trump's wall and plans for large-scale deportation.
Innocent at that point, but then things got ugly. Traffic was halted, rocks were thrown and the roof in of a police cruiser was stomped.
Seventeen violent protesters were arrested. Right? Wrong? You can't fight Trump like animals and give the fearful a reason to be so, that only plays into his hands. Peaceful protest and increase in voter registration, that's the only route to curb the madness.
So how does this qualify as surf news?
Well, we're in luck for Ryan Croteau, a semi-professional surfer who calls Newport home, was amongst the riot. In a video posted on his Instagram, he shakily films the precise moment when a wave of protesters crash against police forces. An innocent bystander can be heard saying, "Here it goes, we are about to get rubber bulleted".
Ryan responds, "This is getting sketchy dude, let's get out of here."
As Ryan reflected afterwards, "Seen a lot of Trump rally videos but this was insane. Being in the center of this was just nuts. The tension was crazy. Seeing this gives you a real eerie feeling that we could all be doomed."
Do you agree with Ryan Croteau that the US is doomed under Donald's reign?
Will his racial rhetoric cause a race war? Or is the war already underway given the left's obsession with race? So much irony!
Will this be the year, as Hunter S. Thompson wrote, that "we finally come face to face with ourselves, finally just lay back and say it — that we are really just a nation of 220 million used car salesmen with all the money we need to buy guns, and no qualms at all about killing anybody else in the world who tries to make us uncomfortable?"

Come freediving and feel total freedom from the hectic hell of land…
I'll be the first to admit that competitive freediving is a little odd. Especially at the top levels. Pushing your body to its limit, any mistake could be your last.
Yeah. People don't really die within the confines of competition. Safety is taken seriously. Canned O2 on the surface, emergency staff, safety divers keeping an eye on everyone.
There's really only been one death in a sanctioned event. But the Nicolas Mevoli incident was more a cause of an overly driven individual than any failure on the part of event staff. Tragic, but hardly indicative of the sport as a whole.
Recreational freediving, either with a spear or without, tends to take a few people each year. Often very capable people, just half-assed safety protocol one time too many. Easy to do, become a tad complacent, forget that even minor depths are dangerous.
It's hard to convey the appeal to people who, perhaps rightly, view the whole ordeal as kind of dumb. "Worst sport ever. Just put a gun in your mouth and be done with it," really isn't far from the mark. Especially if you've never experienced the thrill.
The sounds at depth, it's hardly quiet. The sensation of a slow freefall through water. Your lungs feel full again as they compress to the size of oranges. Total freedom from the hectic hell of land, too focused on your body, your survival, to care about what's always waiting up top.
It makes for gorgeous video, if you can combine ability with creative talent. Which is a hell of a challenge.
No one does it better than Les Films Engloutis.
Guillaume Néry and Julie Gautier have been producing stunning work revolving around freediving for years. You've probably seen some of it.
Freefall did the viral rounds a year ago.
Ocean Gravity did too.
Narcose was beautiful. Visual poetry that comes damn close to capturing the feeling of euphoria you experience just prior to the lights going out.
Their newest piece, Haven, takes a turn to the sinister. Dark, foreboding, brilliantly edited. This time they focused on the fear, rather than the majesty.
Give them all a watch. Book a freedive course. Learn to hold your breath. Stop being a pussy who plays around on the surface without thinking about the wonderland that lies just beneath you.

Santa Update | Santa Heads into Siberia?
Santa's brief appearance in Japan looks like it was just a fly-by. Nobody from Japan is yet reporting a visit from Santa and Santa himself has moved on over Asia and is headed somewhere north into Siberia. There has to be an explanation for this but we don't know what it is yet.
Over at Santa's Central Command the phones are busy and I can't get anyone by way of text or email. When we get work of what's happening we'll let you know.

Home » African History » Timbuktu
No name brings ancient Africa to mind more than Timbuktu, a great city that flourished on a bend in the Niger River for more than four hundred years. Timbuktu was at the end of the camel caravan route that linked sub-Saharan Africa to North Africa and Arabia. Gold, ivory and kola nuts passed through Timbuktu, but the most important commodity was salt. Timbuktu was located near several salt mines in the Sahara Desert. Caravans hauled salt from the mines to trade for gold.
Timbuktu began as a trading city, but in time it developed into the educational and spiritual center of West Africa. By 1330, Timbuktu became part of the Kingdom of Mali. Mansa Musabuilt a great mosque, or Islamic temple, in Timbuktu. The mosque attracted scholars from as far away as Saudi Arabia.
Timbuktu began to decline in influence when the Portuguese showed that it was easier to sail along the coast of Africa than travel through the desert. The city was destroyed at the end of the sixteenth century by the war between Morocco and Songhai. At one time, historians estimate that more than 100,000 people lived in Timbuktu, but today it remains a shadow of its former self, a mud-built town of 20,000 people on the edge of the Sahara Desert.
Mr. Donn has an excellent website that includes a section on African History.
The Djinguereber Mosque is Timbuktu's most famous landmark. The original mosque was constructed in 1327, during the reign of Mansa Musa.
Timbuktu is located on a bend in the Niger River in the modern nation of Mali.
More than 100,000 people once lived in Timbuktu, but today it is a small town of 20,000 people on the edge of the Sahara Desert.

Case of George Edalji. The Martin Molton Letters. No. 3
Case of George Edalji. The Martin Molton Letters. No. 3 is an article written by Arthur Conan Doyle published in The Daily Telegraph on 27 may 1907.
Previous articles :
Case of George Edalji. Facsimile Documents. No. 1
Case of George Edalji. Who Wrote the Letters? No. 2
The Daily Telegraph (27 may 1907, p. 11)
We now come to the third individual whom we have constructed, the foul-mouthed boy. He is far the more interesting and important of the three, for whereas the others drop out he carries on the persecution. As I will presently show, I have myself received a letter from him within the last few weeks, one of a considerable series which have been signed by various pseudonyms, but which I will call in future the Martin Molton letters, since that was the name which was attached to the first specimen. That Martin Molton, of 1907, and the bad boy of 1892 are the same individual is, as I will show, beyond all reasonable doubt.
Let me pause here for one instant to consider the theory which I really believe still lingers at the Home Office, that the bad boy of 1892-95 was actually George Edalji reviling his own people and writing furious letters to those who had never offended him. If the officials could only make good that proposition, then they could point to him also as being Martin Molton, and all would be well. But to any unprejudiced mind, with no official theory to sustain the thing is beyond argument. Look at the writing of 1 and also of 4. It is rude, coarse, and unformed to the last, degree. Such as it is it appears unchanged in the persecuting letters up to the end of 1895. Now, at that date George Edalji was nineteen years of age, as excellent scholar, who had finished his grammar-school education, and had already started that course of legal study in Birmingham at which he was to win such distinction. Can anyone believe that he is responsible for this barbarous writing and more barbarous spelling and grammar. It is impossible to suppose such a thing, and by saying so we dispose for ever of the wild idea that Martin Molton was George Edalji, for whoever wrote the schoolboy scrawl of 1892-95 wrote the letters of 1907.
Let me now make that point dear before I go any further. I present side by side two exhibits, which I call 4 and 5. 4 is a specimen of the bad boy's writing, dating back to 1893. Alienists will be interested in the circular dots to the i's, which are recognised as a symptom of lunacy. 5 is a short extract from a long abusive anonymous letter which reached me on April 17 of this year, posted on that date in the N.W. or Euston quarter of London.
Compare the character of the writing. Compare the words "run" and the words "murder" in each. Compare the peculiar e's shaped like x. Is there any reasonable man who can doubt that the thing is beyond coincidence, and that the same hand fashioned each? It may be fairly inferred, also, that the writer has been employed during the fourteen years which have elapsed in some trade which has not required much clerical work, as it is difficult to believe otherwise that he would not have developed his caligraphy.
Having, as I hope, satisfied the reader that the young rascal of 1893 is the writer of the anonymous letter quoted above, I must complete my point by showing that the latter is also Martin Molton. The handwriting of all these 1907 letters is identical, save that in some cases the Greek e is used with an ordinary r, while in others the ordinary e is used with the peculiar r. I append an extract from my letter, 6, and one from the Martin Molton series, 7, which will, I hope. satisfy the reader that they are the same script, and that they are therefore both the handiwork of the bad boy of Walsall school. I may add that of the Martin Molton series five were posted in London and two in Birmingham.
Now we have secured the two ends of our chain, and it only remains to examine those central links which are formed by the letters of 1903 — those letters which the committee, and also the jury, have most unreasonably ascribed to Edalji. I claim that I have shown these two ends to be from another hand, and if I can show that there is any correspondence or connection between than and the 1908 letters then the latter also are from another hand. I have in my previous article shown, both by the script and by the internal evidence, that it is in the highest degree improbable that they could have been by Edalji. I now propose to show that it is, on the other hand, in the highest degree probable that they are by the same author as the others. Who that may be it is for these upon the spot to determine.
First of all I reproduce part of the envelope of one of the Martin Molton letters (8), and I place below it the forged signature of Wilfred Greatorex in 1903. Let the reader look at the two capital W's. Each is curiously fashioned, and yet them is an absolute similarity between them.
Is this within the range of coincidence? I have shown that there is a history of forgery in the family from the beginning, and the actual writing is cleverly concealed, but every here and there, as in this conspicuous W, there is a glaring lapse. Even the same phrases recur in the different series of letters. I have one of the 1908 letters before me as I write, and I read in it, "None of the people think you a right sort," addressed to George Edalji. Turn to exhibit 6, and you will find the same phrase applied to the same man in the letters of 1907. Is this also coincidence? See the continued illwill towards the Edaljis breaking out in 1893, 1903, and again in 1907. Is this coincidence, and is the central mystification distinct from the first and the last? It is not for me to state who actually wrote the letters of 1903, but I claim that, while in my last artifice I proved that all the evidence is against them having been done by George Edalji, in the present I have shown that there are very sound realms to believe that they are from the same hand as those of 1893 and of 1907. I have also given some indications by which that head may be traced.
Just one word at this point as to the object of all this elaborate mystification. Of that I have no doubt at all. The culprit is a lunatic, and his destination when his pranks have all been brought home to him should be, not a prison, but an asylum. The religious mania of the elder conspirator is the index of a family weakness which becomes a diabolically mischievous madness in the junior. He will be found, when exposed, to be a man of eccentric life and character, with periodical accessions of actual madness, during which he loses all prudence and control. Had the persecution been confined to the Edaljis, one might well have imagined that some secret reason could explain it, but it has broken out in so many directions, and been accompanied by such senseless deeds, that nothing but a disordered brain can be behind it. Such a man is a danger to the community in which he lives, as no one can say what turn his destructive propensities may take. That he still lives in the Midlands, and possibly in the very district of the crimes, is made feasible by the postmarks of two of the Martin Molton letters. I trust that it will not be long before he is under medical supervision.
I have purposely said nothing of the outrages themselves, and confined my remarks to the letters, since these are the only things for which Edalji is now held responsible, and it is on account of that alleged responsibility that compensation's refused him. The writing of the letters does not appear to be a criminal offence, or at worst a minor one, so that if the assertion were true that Edalji wrote them, the country would none the less owe him compensation for his three years of gaol. I trust, however, that I have convinced every impartial man that the balance of evidence is enormously against Edalji having had anything to do with the letters. Redress for one unjust accusation has been refused by the simple process of making a second equally unjust. Nowhere in the State document is there one word of sorrow or repentance for the blunder so tardily found out. All honest, manly admission and moderate redress would have been met in a conciliatory spirit, and the matter would have ended. As it is, the sore still runs. Fortunately, behind the mutual whitewashers and the ring of interested officials, there is always the great public to whom an injured man may appeal.
Those who have followed my argument, and who agree with those conclusions, which seem to me to be inevitable, may well ask why all these documents and this reasoning have not been laid before the Committee and the Home Office. My answer is that they were so. I wish I could say with assurance that they were ever considered by the Committee. "Facts and printed matter" is their guarded description of what they have examined, and my documents could not be included is the letter. In their report there is not a word which leads me to think that my evidence was considered, and there are several passages — notably about Green, and about the eyesight — which make it difficult for me to behave that it was so. In the matter of the eyesight, the opinion of some unnamed prison doctor is endorsed, while there is no comment on the views of fifteen experts, some of them the first oculists in the country, which I sent in. As to the Home Office, I have shown them documents and demonstrated the points here set forth until I was weary. I was treated always with courtesy, but I was met also with a chilly want of sympathy. Instead of recognising that I had no possible object save the ends of justice, and that it was their function in this country to see that justice was done, they took an obvious side in favour of impeached officialdom, and made me feel at every point that there was a hostile atmosphere around me. However, in spite of every obstacle, nine-tenths of the victory is won, and I have not a doubt that the fair-minded men of this country, apart from every consideration of peruses or politics, will see that it is made complete by public apology and redress for a public wrong.
ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE.
Undershaw, May 20.
The majority of the subscribers to the Edalji Fund have now communicated their wishes to the hon. treasurer, at the offices of The Daily Telegraph, and have placed their contributions unreservedly at the disposal of Sir A. Conan Doyle's committee. They ask that the money in hand shall be allocated, as was suggested, to Mr. George Edalji's father and aunt, to meet legal expenses already incurred by the family, or to be spent, as the committee may determine, in renewed efforts to obtain for the pardoned man the compensation which the Home Secretary has withheld. In four instances only has it been found necessary to return the subscriptions, these having been originally received through Mr. R. D. Yelverton.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. – On Friday afternoon, Judge Roy Moore issued a statement on the latest false ad from his opponent, Doug Jones.
"In all three Supreme Court cases mentioned in Doug Jones's latest campaign ad, he blatantly misrepresents the facts and my judicial record. I did not disagree with the convictions of the defendants in those cases.
"We are demanding that Doug Jones immediately retract his blatant lies and apologize for misrepresenting Judge Moore's judicial record. All stations should immediately remove this deceitful ad from their rotations."

This page will be regularly updated with the latest Hyde Park Picture House news and developments.
Wed. 9th December
With Leeds currently under Tier 3 restrictions, which now prohibit film screenings from taking place, our On the Road programme of off-site screenings remains on pause.
While Leeds' Tier 3 status is set to be reviewed by 16th December, the decision of this review unfortunately won't provide us with enough time to deliver any public screenings at the City Varieties before Christmas. If restrictions do ease and allow us to resume screenings at the City Varieties, we will do so as soon as we can in the new year.
As soon as we know more details about the resumption of our On the Road programme , we'll share an update here – so please do check back soon, or keep an eye on our social channels for the very latest.
In meantime we'll be continuing to share film recommendations with Hyde Park Picks, supporting the release of new films with our Watch Online collection, and shipping you our new merchandise in time for Christmas.
Thanks and stay safe!
Mon. 2nd November
Following new lockdown restrictions this Thursday, we will sadly be pressing pause on our screenings at City Varieties Music Hall. We hope to resume these as soon as we can.
This week, all scheduled screenings of Saint Maud will go ahead as planned. We're sorry that Thursday's screening of Idiot Prayer has been cancelled and for anyone who has already booked tickets, you'll hear from the Leeds Heritage Theatres box office team soon.
We've really enjoyed this short period of screening films again, and want to thank everyone who's attended in recent weeks. Its a real blow to have to pause our #HPPHOnTheRoad programme once more, just as we were finding our feet again. And whilst we're hugely grateful for the recent support we received from the Cultural Recovery Fund, this forced closure will further impact our business and ability to generate income.
So for anyone keen to continue supporting the cinema over the coming weeks, please visit our website's support page, where there are details of how you can help us through another challenging period.
We'll be continuing to share great films available to enjoy online, via excellent digital releases on our website and regular #HydeParkPicks on social media.
Stay safe and well – see you all on the other side.
Sat. 24th October
Together with our Leeds Heritage Theatres' sister venues – Leeds Grand Theatre and City Varieties Music Hall – we're delighted to announce that we'll be receiving £1,545,163 as part of the Culture Recovery Fund.
The past seven months have been an incredibly challenging for all three venues – with cancelled events and forced closures resulting in a devastating loss of income for the whole company. So this vital support from Arts Council England the Department for Culture, Media and Sport is a massive lifeline, and will go a long way to protecting our buildings and safeguarding future.
You can read more about the impact this will have on our wider company, and a response from our CEO Chris Blythe, here.
For the Picture House specifically, it comes at a crucial time – helping us to continue our off-site screenings as well as get our redevelopment project back on track, following a necessary pause back in March.
Please check back here for the latest updates, as well as our dedicated project microsite: thepicturehouseproject.com
Fri. 16th October
With redevelopment work at the Hyde Park Picture House set to begin later this year, we're delighted that On the Road – our off-site film programme – has now resumed. You can now enjoy regular film screenings at our beautiful sister-venue City Varieties Music Hall in Leeds city centre.
Combining new releases, with live theatre recordings and timeless classics – Movie Nights at City Varieties is a brand new programme, presented by Leeds Heritage Theatres.
For those that don't know – Leeds Heritage Theatres is Hyde Park Picture House, City Varieties Music Hall and Leeds Grand Theatre.
Audience safety at these screenings remains our number one priority and we've been working hard behind the scenes to implement lots of important procedures:
》Regular temperature checks on arrival
》One-way systems throughout the building
》Reduced capacity and socially distanced seating
》Multiple hand-sanitising stations at key points
》Mask-wearing throughout the venue
》Additional cleaning and PPE worn by all staff
You can read more about our safety measures via this Leeds Heritage Theatres page.
To see what's on and to book tickets, visit the Movie Nights page on our website.
Thu. 17th Septmeber
With the cinema remaining closed, and work continuing behind the scenes to get the redevelopment project underway, the Picture House's off-site On the Road programme is set to resume this autumn – with screenings planned at Leeds University, HEART and the City Varieties Music Hall.
A new film programme will be shared in the coming weeks, so keep an eye on our social media for the latest, or check the our website's what's on page for the latest confirmed screenings.
Mon. 6th July
The Hyde Park Picture House remains closed and is not expected to reopen this year.
While work on our upcoming redevelopment is still proceeding as planned, recent events have caused the project to be delayed by a number of months, as we ensure it can delivered in a way that is both safe and responsible. A new timetable for when building works take place , and a date for when the cinema will reopen, will be shared later this summer.
Following the cancellation of all scheduled off-site screenings, we're currently exploring the viability of resuming these later this year. The wellbeing of our staff and audiences is our number one priority, and screenings will only resume when we be can be confident they can be delivered safely and in accordance with government guidelines.
A large number of the cinema's core staffing team remain furloughed, meaning the cinema is running at a reduced capacity. However work is continuing behind the scenes, on both the redevelopment, as well as delivering public activity including daily film recommendations (Hyde Park Picks) and exciting projects like Hiding in Plain Sight.
Tue. 24th March, 2pm
Following the government announcement yesterday requiring everyone to stay at home wherever possible – staff at the Hyde Park Picture House will no longer be working from the cinema and we'll no longer be accepting food bank collections for at least the next three weeks.
This means the cinema's phone-lines will no longer be picked-up. If you would like to get in touch, please email info@hydeparkpicturehouse.co.uk
All of our off-site screening remaining cancelled, and we'll update you as soon as we can with an idea of when these can resume. For anyone who has booked a ticket for one of these screening, you will be emailed with details of how to arrange a refund. We're emailing customers on a rolling basis, so if your screening isn't for a little while, you'll hear from us nearer the time.
In the meantime, we've now launched Hyde Park Picks – daily recommendations from the Hyde Park Picture House, of where you can find brilliant independent films to stream online. We will be sharing these picks every day via our social media channels, and they'll also be available to view here on our website.
Please stay safe out there!
In response to yesterday's advice from the UK Government – and to ensure the safety of our audiences and staff – the Hyde Park Picture House will be cancelling all upcoming screenings from today. This includes all final screenings that were due to take place at the Picture House, as well as upcoming 'On the Road' off-site screenings.
At this stage we're unable to say when our off-site screenings will resume, but we will be providing regular updates as the situation develops, and hope to continue screenings as soon as the government advice recommends that it is safe to do so.
This decision is in-line with our wider company – Leeds Grand Theatre & Opera House Ltd. – which has also announced that both the Leeds Grand Theatre and the City Varieties will cease public performances from today.
Work on our upcoming redevelopment will be proceeding as planned, and we're currently in the process of appointing a project contractor before work will begin on site. We do anticipate there may be some delay to when work will begin as a result of the current situation.
We will be emailing all customers who have booked tickets for upcoming screenings, with details of whether the performance will be rescheduled or cancelled, and how they can go about receiving a refund or a credit on their account (if they choose).
This is an uncertain and unprecedented time for the Hyde Park Picture House and the wider cultural and hospitality sector. We would encourage you to continue to support independent businesses in whatever way you can – whether that is ordering items that can be delivered, or purchasing vouchers, memberships and other items that can be enjoyed at a later date. We will be providing new means for audiences to support the Picture House in this way over the coming weeks, as well exploring new ways we can continue to be sharing films with you remotely.
Take care of one another and we hope it's not too long before we're able to screen films for you once again.
Mon. 16th March, 10pm
Following the latest government advice today requiring members of the public to avoid non-essential social contact – and to ensure the safety of our audiences and staff – there will be significant changes to our scheduled screenings over the coming days and weeks, including cancellations.
We will be providing a much fuller update tomorrow, including which screenings are effected and how audiences can go about receiving refunds and/or credit for any pre-booked tickets.
We can confirm that tomorrow and Wednesday's screenings of Withnail and I at The Brunswick have now been rescheduled and all customers who had pre-booked tickets have been emailed with more details.
We're know this is an extremely challenging time at the moment – both for individuals and businesses. We'd like to thank our partners, staff and our incredible audiences for being so understanding and supportive. Let's continue to look out for each other as best we can.
Sun. 15th March, 2pm
We are closely following the advice of the UK Government and Public Health England and will continue to monitor the situation and our response.
Currently all upcoming performances are still due to go ahead, including off-site screenings of Portrait of a Lady on Fire and Crossing Family Boundaries at Leeds University Union on Sunday 15th and Monday 16th March, as well as our screening of The Seventh Seal at the Picture House on the 17th March.
In order to ensure the safety of customers and staff, we're also taking the following steps:
• We have limited capacity at screenings to ensure there is additional space between those attending.
• All of our volunteers and staff are being encouraged to follow official government advice and self-isolate at home if they develop any minor symptoms.
• Toilets all have additional hand soap available, and hand sanitiser dispensers have been installed throughout Leeds University Union.
• Additional cleaning is taking place at venues, including of hand-touched surfaces such as door handles and hand rails.
• We'd also like to encourage all audience members to regularly and thoroughly wash their hands, and not to attend a screening if they develop any mild symptoms, but remain at home in-line with government advice.
We're aware that the situation and the government advice is changing fast, and that there may come a point in the near future where public gatherings in the UK are temporarily halted. As such, we will be constantly reviewing all future screenings on a daily basis, and any cancelled or rescheduled screenings will be listed on this page.
Any changes to our scheduled screenings will also appear on specific film pages and shared across our social media channels.
We want to wish everyone well during this difficult time. When it is safe to do so we'd also encourage you to look out for any vulnerable members of your community, as well continue to support local independent businesses in the city when you can.
Then please do get in touch and we'll be happy to help.


As a fellow animal lover, I'm sure that you despise the mistreatment of animals as much as I do. One method of animal cruelty that has been around for years is the illegal hunting practice called poaching. Poaching is the indiscriminate hunting and killing of animals that dramatically reduces the population of the species. This practice is one of the main causes of extinction within a species. Unfortunately, poaching is BIG business; often times more profitable (and less risky) than selling drugs or gold. Rhino horns, for example, which are used by some cultures as traditional ornaments or for medicinal use, can be sold for upwards of $30,000 a pound on the black market.
With only a little over 5,000 black rhinos in existence, the Ol Pejeta Conservatory in Nanjuki, Kenya works tirelessly to preserve this endangered species. But even for them, the threat of poaching is a very serious concern to their habitat of African black rhinos. Poachers have been known to storm the compound, armed with AK-47 assault rifles, shooting at anyone who stands in their way, in an effort to get ahold of the precious rhino horns.
Fortunately, Ol Pejeta has Daryll Pleasants on their side. A former military dog trainer for the Royal Army Veterinary Corps, Pleasants trains various dog breeds, including bloodhounds and Dutch-Malinois Shepherds to patrol, track, and if necessary, attack poachers that invade the compound.
The anti-poaching dogs are outfitted with special James Bond-type gear that protects them from punches, kicks, stabs and bullets. They also wear the latest in FIDO headgear equipped with camera equipment, GPS navigation and night vision to help them on the hunt.
Score one more for the fight against animal cruelty!

Q: Is it possible to trigger different functions without duplicating code? FIRST:

*

*Yes, I have searched google.

*Yes, I have searched this website (see attached image)

*I am not sure of what specific documentation to research, so I did
not do that. But I am happy to do so if someone can tell me where I
could have looked.

Now that is out of the way, here is my question. I have some code:
$('.button1').click(function() {
  $('.box').toggleClass('red');
});

$('.button2').click(function() {
  $('.box').toggleClass('black');
});

$('.button3').click(function() {
  $('.box').toggleClass('green');
});

Here is the CodePen
Question:
Is it possible to achieve the same goal without having a separate function for each button? I have been looking at selectors for awhile and I feel like that is the right path, but I'm not sure if they would help.
Goal
One total function, for the purposes of cleaning up my code...that will allow me to click any button but have a different action (say...apply a different CSS class). Possible?

A: One possibly solution would be adding additional information in your mark-up, for example using the data-attribute:

$('.button').click(function() {
  $('.box').toggleClass($(this).data('color'));
});
* {
  margin: 0;
  text-align: center;
}

.box {
  margin: 0 auto;
  background: cornflowerblue;
  height: 100px;
  width: 100px;
  margin-top: 5vw;
}

button {
  border-radius: 2px;
  border: 0;
  background: cornflowerblue;
  font-size: 1.5vw;
  margin: 2vw;
  margin-top: 10vw;
}

.red {
  background: red;
}

.black {
  background: black;
}

.green {
  background: green;
}

<button class="button" data-color="red">Button 1</button>
<button class="button" data-color="black">Button 2</button>
<button class="button" data-color="green">Button 3</button>

Or extend your selector and set the color depending on the clicked button:

$('.button1, .button2, .button3').click(function(e) {
  var color;

  switch ($(this).attr('class')) {
    case "button1":
      color = 'red';
      break;
    case "button2":
      color = 'black';
      break;
    case "button3":
      color = 'green';
      break;
  }

  $('.box').toggleClass(color);
});
* {
  margin: 0;
  text-align: center;
}

.box {
  margin: 0 auto;
  background: cornflowerblue;
  height: 100px;
  width: 100px;
  margin-top: 5vw;
}

button {
  border-radius: 2px;
  border: 0;
  background: cornflowerblue;
  font-size: 1.5vw;
  margin: 2vw;
  margin-top: 10vw;
}

.red {
  background: red;
}

.black {
  background: black;
}

.green {
  background: green;
}

<button class="button1">Button 1</button>
<button class="button2">Button 2</button>
<button class="button3">Button 3</button>

A: Add common class to all 3 buttons, Please see below code for reference
$('.btncommon').click(function() {
    switch($(this).attr('id')){
        case "btn1":
          $('.box').toggleClass('red');
            break;
        case "btn2":
          $('.box').toggleClass('black');
            break;
        case "btn3":
          $('.box').toggleClass('green');
            break;
    }
});

A: And other option beside html attributes and switch is to use pure CSS
$('.btncommon').click(function () {
    $(this).toggleClass('something');
});

css:
.button1.something{
    background:red;
}
.button2.something{
    background:black;
}
.button3.something{
    background:green;
}

Personally I prefer this because it's faster than Javascript for the browser (but today maybe not that important) and less Javascript = less maintenance.
When I build components (which don't have a css file), I prefer the html attribute option.

Q: distro for beginner on old laptop (im reviveing my old laptops because i want to give them to people in need) I'm a beginner,
I know little to nothing about everything related to linux,
I have a few old laptops and i'm looking for a distro which well be as easy to use as possible and in the same time as lightweghit on resources as possible,
It's more importent to me that the distro is simple to use than lightweghit,
But in the same time it must be light enough to run on those old laptops,
All of my laptops have plenty of hard disk space,
They very between 1 to 4 gb of ram,
About the processors i'm not sure but they aren't older than 18 years old,
I tryed ubuntu and it was simple enough but to slow and i tryed lxle and it was fast enough butn way not enough intuitive for me to use,
btw im reviveing those laptops because i want to give them to people in need
(The laptops well be mostly used for browsing the web and simple texst editing,
the distro have to be simple to:
A) Install on each laptop,
B) Install programs on,
C) Get comunity support,
D) Find guides on,
E) Use with diferent keyboards mouses displays etc,
F) Create restore points (i expect the people getting the laptops to not know what they are doing),
And generaly be user freindly)
THANKS A LOT

A: Go for something like xubuntu. Or, try to install Devuan/Debian from a netinstall, adding just the packages you need (xfce is a nice environment usable on old computers). You will also learn a lot in the process.
A word of advice though, for the browser, go with Firefox but do limit the number of concurrent threads. See this page. Set the Content process limit to just 1 and it will work. If you plan to use adblocker, go for ublock origin (not adblock plus).
If you take the xubuntu road, disable tumblerd, it will periodically bring your computer to a halt.
Every decision you make from now on on those computers will be marked by the resources available, but you can run a modern distro on those computers. I know because I do.

A:
...1 to 4 gb of ram...18 years old, ... browsing the web...

Don't do it;
Web browsers are the most RAM hungry applications a novice computer user will use. Anything limited to 4 gigabytes of RAM or less should be recycled, and replaced with a $200 laptop that will offset its own cost, by using mean significantly less energy then the old heaters you have lying around. Or a cheap $50 SBC; https://www.hardkernel.com/shop/odroid-c4/ if you really want slow and cheap.
Zswap and links2 -g may help mitigate the low RAM but a $26 ssd would also help.

Speaking of advertisements for Royal Enfield motorcycles, here's a quiz: can you pick out the one slogan or catch-phrase Royal Enfield did NOT use over its many decades? The answer is at the end.
Answer: You Meet the Nicest People on a Honda, not a Royal Enfield.
"You meet the nicest people on a ..." This was used by Honda in the very late '50's to early '60's.
Made Like a Gun - This is the official tagline of Royal Enfield. I love this machine..!!


Last major update issued on February 25, 2015 at 05:10 UTC.
The geomagnetic field was quiet to minor storm on February 24. Solar wind speed at SOHO ranged between 397 and 485 km/s under the influence of a low to medium high speed stream from CH655.
Solar flux at 20h UTC on 2.8 GHz was 114.4 (decreasing 44.9 over the last solar rotation). The 90 day 10.7 flux at 1 AU was 142.1. The Potsdam WDC planetary A index was 20 (STAR Ap - based on the mean of three hour interval ap indices: 20.5). Three hour interval K indices: 55432212 (planetary), 54643322 (Boulder).
At the time of counting spots (see image time), spots were observed in 7 active regions using 2K resolution (SN: 142) and 6 active regions using 1K resolution (SN: 95) SDO images on the visible solar disk.
Region 12287 [N15W53] decayed quickly and could soon become spotless.
Region 12289 [S09W04] was quiet and stable.
Region 12290 [N20W09] lost intermediate spots as the region matured.
Region 12292 [S08E28] decayed slowly in the trailing spot section while leading polarity penumbra spots emerged.
S4227 [N15W19] decayed slowly and quietly.
S4239 [S21E09] was quiet and stable.
S4243 [N03E63] was quiet and stable.
A filament eruption just behind the southeast limb was the source of a long duration C1.4 event peaking at 10:57 UTC.
February 22-24: No obviously Earth directed CMEs were observed in LASCO imagery.
The geomagnetic field is expected to be quiet to unsettled on February 25-26 due to weak effects from CH655 and CH656 and quiet on February 27.

Q: Making a react-native login form, looks good until user attempts to use keyboard. How keep the components from compacting on screen? Currently building a static login/info page.  The form will ask for a name, email,  phone number, gender and birthday.  I used ScrollView to wrap around both containers. The first container has 3 TextInputs and radio buttons.  The second container  has 3 Pickers for the user to enter their birthday.  Everything looks relatively fine until I attempt to enter info.  As soon as I click on the TextInputs, the onscreen keyboard compacts/distorts the rest of the components making it impossible to read what is being entered and making the rest of the page look pretty unsightly.
I think that the reason this is happening is due to the ScrollView attempting to keep all of the components on the screen.  How do I make it so that when TextInput is used, only the keyboard and that particular TextInput are visible.
Here is the code:
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import {
  Platform,
  StyleSheet,
  Text,
  View,
  Button,
  AppRegistry,
  Picker,
  TextInput,
  ScrollView,
  Alert,
  } from 'react-native';

import RadioForm, {RadioButton, RadioButtonInput,
     RadioButtonLabel} from 'react-native-simple-radio-button';

let radio_props = [
    {label: 'male', value: "male" },
    {label: 'female', value: "female" }
];
export default class SimpleComponentOne extends Component {
    constructor(radio_props){
        super(radio_props);
        this.state = {
            month: 'Month',
            day: 'day',
            year: 'year',
            gender: 'male',
            check: true
        }

    }

    onValueChangeMonth(key, value){
        this.setState({month: value})
    }

    onValueChangeDay(key, value) {
        this.setState({day: value})
    }

    onValueChangeYear(key, value) {
        this.setState({year: value})
    }
    onValueChangeGender(key, value) {
        this.setState({gender: value})
    }

    _createAlert(){
        Alert.alert("well done")
    }

    checkBoxTest(){
        //Alert.alert("this is working")
        this.setState({
            check:!this.state.check

        })
        Alert.alert("The value is now " + !this.state.check)
    }

    render() {
        return (
        <ScrollView contentContainerStyle={styles.mainContainer}>
            <Text>Enter your info below</Text>

            <View style={styles.container1}
                behavior="padding"

A: You'll either need to use a combination of onLayout to get the coordinates of your TextInput and then use onFocus to fire scrollTo() (pass those coordinates) on your ScrollView...
or use a library like this one: https://github.com/APSL/react-native-keyboard-aware-scroll-view


While Hippodrome is one of the biggest names in the land-based casino world, their online casinos doesn't disappoint.
Hippodrome Casino offers players the same branding and razzmatazz they would find in one of the brand's iconic London casinos, alongside an excellent live dealer line-up and the vast array of slot games, table games and live dealer games.
Microgaming power the casino's armoury of games and there is sure to be something for everyone on this easy to use, quick to load casino site. The branding is in keeping with Hippodrome's land-based values, meaning the site has a very upmarket look and feel to it both its desktop and mobile casinos.
After a very expedient registration, players are given a carousel style lobby with a very sleek design, befitting this luxury brand. They can scroll through the top games, browse categories or use search.
The layout is intuitive and smart, an upgrade from the bog-standard page of tiles. Upon choosing a game, players are taken to a special view with a background that matches the slot. There is a top strip with deposit controls and a recommended games button.
The slot selection is provided by Microgaming, the world-renowned developer. Though having just one provider does limit selection to a degree, there's actually a bit of everything to be found here.
There are movie and TV tie-ins like Jurassic World, Tomb Raider and Game of Thrones. Or, there's a host of original slots like Thunderstruck II, Life of Riches and Immortal Romance. Microgaming covers everything from zombies to classic Egyptian themes. Players can also spin up huge progressive jackpots, through the now famous Mega Moolah titles. There are even 3-reel classic slots.
When it comes to table games, the site offers several options. For example, there are over 6 roulette rooms, including European and American variations.
There's an array of blackjack types too, with Vegas Strip standing out in particular. The site supports these with the less-seen games of craps and baccarat, plus a video poker suite. There's certainly no shortage of things to do here.
The live casino games at Hippodrome are provided by Evolution. Players have a vast selection, including Blackjack, Roulette, Baccarat, Casino Hold 'Em, Three Card Poker, Caribbean Stud and Texas Hold 'Em.
There's even the colourful gameshow-like Money Wheel! Each of these game types packs several rooms, allowing different stakes, dealers and of course VIP options.
The software is fast to load and shows sumptuous studios, with very professional and practised live dealers. Players can chat and see various game statistics, or even choose camera layouts.
Hippodrome Casino has an app for Apple devices, which functions much like visiting the site through a mobile browser does for Android or other platforms.
The latter method is broadly compatible and will work fine, but the app may have the edge for regular players. The mobile setup uses a static menu at the bottom for navigation, while the main screen area is perhaps a little cramped and small. Still, it's easy enough to use and the game selection is all intact.
Overall, the site is very sleek and manages to retain the look and feel of the desktop site.
The Hippodrome site is protected by a secure certificate, provided by Rapid SSL. This includes full 128-bit encryption to protect players' personal details. In addition, the site carries the eCOGRA seal for fairness and safety.
Support is very easy to find, thanks to a large button along the top navigation area. This opens a link for email or live chat- there is no phone option, unfortunately.
On the plus side, the live chat is open 24/7 and it's very easy to use. The staff are quick and seem happy to help.
The site offers plenty of generic terms-related information, but lacks an FAQ area to help players solve day-to-day issues.

A price cut, by any other name, smells sweeter
Lisa Bertagnoli
Ann Dwyer
Whatever works: "You have to put a positive spin on this market," explains one broker.
The latest lingo to perk up interest in a house: "price improvement" on the for-sale sign.
"You try to do something different than say 'price reduced,' " says Honore Frumentino, an agent at Prudential Rubloff North Shore in Deerfield and Northbrook.
"I don't want to say it's gimmicky, but it's a way to create exposure, and ultimately that's what gets something sold," says Michael Golden, co-founder of @properties in Chicago.
Buyers, he adds, have changed their thinking on what a price-reduction signals. "It used to mean desperation; now it's motivation," he says.
"You have to put a positive spin on this market," says Cynthia Nash-Frye, managing broker at Re/Max Suburban in Libertyville. Ms. Nash-Frye learned the phrase from a business coach and now uses it in emails and on websites and signs.
Melissa Wilcox, who's looking for a home in the northern suburbs, has yet to see such a sign. If it did appear on a house she's interested in, "I'd get a little excited," says Ms. Wilcox, 41, global technology manager in the Deerfield office of Grace Davison Discovery Sciences, a chromatography firm based in Columbia, Md. "I would assume it means the price is reduced."
Her bigger issue is sellers stubbornly sticking to high prices. Ms. Wilcox is interested in one home that has had five price cuts; she and the buyer are still $80,000 apart on an agreement.
Sellers "are not motivated, and they're not realistic," she says.

Let's Talk Politics…and Trump… Fuck.
I'm going to swear a bit this post. I don't want to talk about politics. In fact, I really, really don't like politics. There's only one good reason I pay attention to any of it: I'm going to do my duty to vote, and I want to make an informed decision. But I really hate talking about it. You know why? Because politics, along with sports (I'm looking at you Cowboys fans,) online PvP video games, money, sex, and love, have the ability to cause normally rational, intelligent human beings to completely lose their fucking minds. Granted, in the case of love (and let's admit… to a lesser degree great sex…) the insanity might be worth it.
But politics… no. Especially with the oh-so-supportive social media aspect if full-force, politics brings out a shit-ton of negativity that will, for the most part, accomplish absolutely nothing good. I'm not talking about the people using it to fuel Bernie Sander's "grassroots" campaign. That's "good" social media, and I applaud the proper use of the medium to send a positive message. Instead I'm referring to the vast majority of armchair patriots that talk endless amounts of shit and spam Facebook with all the baseless, bias, and very likely completely unresearched articles they can find. The more you argue with them, the more rabid and less reasonable they become. People who are normally friends say unspeakable things to each other, families are divided, and even the workplace can become tense when you boss's politics do not align with your own (I've had personal experience with this… fortunately not currently.)
Okay… you got me there…
But this election season, shit is getting real, and it's damn scary. I'm not going to be able to progress much further without talking about my stance, so I should tell you that historically I've been moderate (you know.. the "grey area" after all..) but I lean toward the democratic side pretty much because I love women and want them to be able to do what they want as equals to men (which… they always have been… why it is taking so long for the world to figure that out is beyond me…)
This season choosing a side between the right and the left is easy. Because this season the republican side is all kinds of fucked up. Not since Sarah Palin have we seen a group of candidates so utterly disgraceful and representative of the republican party's need to dismantle itself and remember what it's supposed to stand for. Say what you want about G. W. Bush's handling of 9/11, the fact is he brutalized the economy and led us into a severe depression. But that pales in comparison to the potential damage that the current republican candidates could do… Especially Donald fucking Trump. All of these guys, especially him.. make Mitt Romney look like a shining, angel-winged beacon of hope if only based on the fact he came across intelligent, articulate and capable of being reasonable.
In fairness, some of the candidates we started with could have proven themselves. John Kasich hasn't appeared utterly insane, just too quiet. And at one point before he dropped out, I was appalled to find myself thinking that Jeb Bush was the most reasonable and feasible of the lot… another fucking Bush… But none of that matters, because of Trump.
He actually looked a little less douchy…
A little over a decade ago (ugh) I liked Trump. The Apprentice had just gained popularity and my girlfriend (at the time) and I would travel to our friend's house to watch his tough-guy image and signature hand gesture as he fired that week's failure. It was television, but it had some valuable lessons about doing what it takes to survive in the real business world and managing your resources. At the time you could almost see Trump as a guru-style, hardcore businessman that you could learn from. Over time, however, the shiny innovation wore off and the gimmicks they attempted to freshen up the show only served to make them look more desperate. Perhaps that should've been an early warning.
Four years ago, Trump talked about possibly running, and people thought it was funny. He had gained some political notoriety by questioning President Obama's birth records, but neither he nor anyone else thought it was a serious gesture. To his credit, he tested the water and perhaps that time he knew it was too cold for his taste. So he took a back-seat in the political arena for a little while. Later he said he regretted not running and that he could've beaten Obama "easily". Sure Donald. Regardless, it was all a funny "what if". Nobody seriously thought he would run, and even if he did there's no way he'd be successful in the political arena.
Oops. We completely underestimated the number of racist, xenophobic, hate-filled, ignorant, scared, easily manipulated, complete fucking idiots that populate the supposed "greatest country in the world." (Yes, I also loved the speech from the opening of the Newsroom… for the 501st time when it was posted on Facebook "new"… again… Aaron Sorkin is a genius… moving on.) I'll give Trump credit for this: he knows his audience. He is preying on all those that are alienated when we try to move ahead as a society. Equality for people of color? Fuck you, I'm voting for Trump. Women are equal to men!? Fuck you! I'm voting for Trump! Accept those terrified, starving, fleeing, refugee TERRORISTS into MY country!? Fuck you! I'm voting for Trump! Basically anytime we've given a stupid white (often) redneck male a reason to feel like he's not the king of the world, Trump is stepping in to be their savior.
When not talking about the size of his peni..err.. hands.
And I only wish that were his only demographic… but there's a number of other people, who I can only assume are either evil businessmen in league with him or sheep-like people that feel scared and/or weak that are drawn to his strong bravado. But it's false bravado, and anyone with a brain can see that. He talks "YUUUGE", but anytime he's asked a question requiring substance… a political plan, or international relations, or even his stance on white supremacy (seriously…) he balks. If he doesn't have something offensive and strong to say that will support and fuel his masses, he tries to talk around the question with pure nonsense.
But it doesn't matter. Trump has tapped into something primal: hate. Initially, the republican party got behind it and rode the wave of his popularity. They assumed he'd ride out his fame and settle into their ranks. But as is the case with many a horror story, they created a monster, and the monster outgrew them. Now they are faced with a very difficult choice; Let the monster have his way, or revoke their support and draw the ire of his legion of followers (the majority of whom were originally republican voters.) They know Trump will turn his followers on them, he has grown very, very good at inspiring and feeding hate… to the point now it has begun to become violent. So now those that fed him are at his mercy, watching in horror as he strikes down each of their other champions until the only one remaining is as comparably frightening as Trump himself: Ted Cruz. I wish I could say this is bad as it gets, but it's still in it's early stages.
Or.. you know.. launch nuclear missiles…
If Trump wins the republican nomination, for the first time in as long as I can remember, I will be legitimately afraid of the outcome of the presidential race. Sure, in the past I haven't agreed with certain candidates, but this is the first time I've ever felt like a candidate represented everything that was wrong with humanity. If he becomes the leader of the "free world", then I honestly believe the free world could be doomed. He will almost certainly destroy our ties with long time allies such as Mexico (you know… the giant wall and all…) and the majority of Europe (who already hate him.) Further, it's not unrealistic to see him forging ties with China and Russia, not for the sake of peace or creating a better world, but for the sake of money. Assuming that doesn't create conflict through infighting and power struggle, it could very quickly turn into intimidation, invasion, and oppression of countries that posed any sort of threat to the new "Axis of Evil..err.. Greatness", and a very ugly, very nuclear third world war that could change life as we know it… forever.
Now I realize that escalated quickly, and it sounds very far fetched, but look at what has been incited by this man so far. We've got him offering to pay the legal fees of his people who attack anti-Trump protesters at his rallies. The situation I described above is just a massively amplified version of that. What happens when Canada says "Hey there… you're being a dick to your people and we are cutting off trade with you."? He'll retaliate, and he'll encourage his people, his country, to violence. Here's the thing folks, as soon as we give him those codes, as soon as we put him in that house, it only takes one moment of defensiveness and false bravado for him to make a decision that will literally change the face of this planet. That shit is real, and it is scary.
Maybe I'm overstating the situation. I really hope I am. Some people say that Trump is just saying all of this to win the popularity contest and as soon as he's elected he'll change his tune. But I don't think so. I've seen him in the board room when the people are watching him. As President, he would know the people, most importantly his people, will be watching him, so he'll act "strong" even if somewhere deep down the last of his moral compass is telling him it's a bad idea.
That's the long and the short of it: Trump is already in over his head. He doesn't know how government works, he doesn't know political leadership, and he sure as hell doesn't know constitutional law. All he knows is that the USA is one big business and if he's the leader he has to keep lying and acting tough. So he'll try to dismantle the parts he doesn't understand and shape it into something that lets him make all the decisions like he has in his (arguably) unsuccessful corporations.
I saw a movie once where another leader came to power and did the same thing. That leader's name was Palpatine. Unfortunately, the real-life version we're faced with now is just as evil and greedy, but not nearly as powerful or intelligent.
So for the love of god people, vote for anyone other than Trump. If he wins the republican nomination, and you're a republican, then I ask that for the sake of your party and your country, you vote for the democratic candidate (either is better… and maybe we'll get into that in a future post.) The republican party has already all but denounced Trump unofficially, so if you vote for the opposing candidate, at least you know your party has time to regroup, develop a new strategy, and maybe unify into something that better represents the conservative people of this country. This round was a disaster, we all know it, but if you vote for Trump on principle (or don't vote at all…) the country as we know it may very well cease to exist, and the republican party might not get another chance. How's that for the lesser of the two evils?

Q: define constants in a struct I'm trying to create a struct with some constants in it like this:

        kAudioDevicePropertyScopeOutput, //mScope
        0 //mElement
    };
    //Mute control
    const AudioObjectPropertyAddress mute = {
        kAudioDevicePropertyMute,
        kAudioDevicePropertyScopeOutput,
        0
    };
};

However, I cannot access the constants in this class;
//Function used to for example set volume level or set mute status
//bool setProperty(UInt32 data_to_write, AudioObjectPropertyAddress addr_to_write_to);
//Following line should mute the system audio
setProperty(1, properties::mute);

This will make the compiler return the following error:
error: invalid use of non-static data member 'mute'

So, I tried making the constants static like this:
const static AudioObjectPropertyAddress volume = { ...

But now, I get a different error:
error: in-class initializer for static data member of type 'const AudioObjectPropertyAddress' requires 'constexpr' specifier

The last thing I tried is changing const static to static constexpr, however again, I cannot access the constants. Every time I try to access them, the compiler show this error:
Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
  "properties::mute", referenced from:
      _main in main-fefb9f.o
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64

I'm not really sure what's going on here, I tried converting my struct into a class, but I ended up getting the same Undefined symbols error.
I know I could just define the two constants as global variables, but I thought putting them into a struct/class would make the code look "nicer" or just more organized.
Could someone please explain what's wrong here and provide a possible solution?

A: why not just properties.volume and properties.mute or use namespace otherwise...
namespace properties
{
    //Volume control
    const AudioObjectPropertyAddress volume = {
        kAudioDevicePropertyVolumeScalar, //mSelector
        kAudioDevicePropertyScopeOutput, //mScope
        0 //mElement
    };

    //Mute control
    const AudioObjectPropertyAddress mute = {
        kAudioDevicePropertyMute,
        kAudioDevicePropertyScopeOutput,
        0
    };
};

A: *

*
  struct properties {
      //Volume control
      const AudioObjectPropertyAddress volume = {
          kAudioDevicePropertyVolumeScalar, //mSelector
          kAudioDevicePropertyScopeOutput, //mScope
          0 //mElement
      };
  };

is valid, but volume is not a static member, so usage requires an instance:
setProperty(1, properties{}.volume);

*With static const, it would be:
struct properties {
    //Volume control
    static const AudioObjectPropertyAddress volume;
};

const properties::AudioObjectPropertyAddress volume {
    kAudioDevicePropertyVolumeScalar, //mSelector
    kAudioDevicePropertyScopeOutput, //mScope
    0 //mElement
};

and usage might be the expected:
setProperty(1, properties::volume);

*with static constexpr in C++11/C++14:
struct properties {
    //Volume control
    static constexpr AudioObjectPropertyAddress volume{
        kAudioDevicePropertyVolumeScalar, //mSelector
        kAudioDevicePropertyScopeOutput, //mScope
        0 //mElement
    };
};

const properties::AudioObjectPropertyAddress volume; // Definition when ODR-used

*with static /*inline*/ constexpr since C++17:
struct properties {
    //Volume control
    static /*inline*/ constexpr AudioObjectPropertyAddress volume{
        kAudioDevicePropertyVolumeScalar, //mSelector
        kAudioDevicePropertyScopeOutput, //mScope
        0 //mElement
    };
};

A: Here are a list of things you can try:
You could.... redesign your templating/types. Struct vs Namespace. Without seeing the whole project its tough to guide in a specific direction. Its up to you to decide if you need to use a struct, enum, namespace, class to encapsulate your code.
As for const static declaration. Here is a post describing valid methods of static class membder declarations. Pay close attention to your c++ version.

"Prior to C++11, only static const data members of integral or
enumeration type could have initializers in the class definition."

Lastly, the static constexpr undefined. Is your static var in the same header/source file as where you are calling it? (Likely not, as the error shows the call from main). Static variables are not visible to other files.
If you want to modify static vars you could do so using a public get/set from a class function.
Suppose 'mute' is a single uint8_t value. Consider using a namespace with all static data declared as: static const uint8_t mute.

A Short History of the Age of Information
In this book, Ernst Peter Fischer, best-selling author of Die andere Bildung, passes in review the rapid and fundamental changes our view of the world has undergone over the past sixty years. And he gives a summary explanation of why nowadays we have come to conceive of almost everything as information.
For the physicist the structure of atoms and molecules is information. A loss of information means a decay in order, a lesser state of the organisation of matter. According to biologists life tries to stem the the loss of order in matter by preserving and transmitting an increasing amount of information, either from cell to cell, or as genetic information from one organism to its successor. Ever since quantum physics made possible transistor technology which in its turn facilitated the construction of powerful computers, we have come to understand our own process of understanding as the transmission and storage of information quanta, i.e. bits. Wonder of wonders, our brain seems to function in the same way as the computers we have created and as our physical, chemical and biological environments. But as we know from history that there have been quite different perceptions of the world in the past, it is only too likely that our current view of the world will be replaced by one vastly different some time in the future.
