This new law means you can be fined £2,500 even if your vehicle's MoT is still in date
The law on MoTs is changing
James Andrews Max Channon
Drivers face the prospect of a £2,500 fine and risk losing their driving licence for not having a valid MoT, even if theirs is still in date.
New laws that come into effect in May means that the way in which vehicles are classified after an MoT will change, according to the Mirror .
Current laws mean that you can still drive your car on the roads after it has failed its MoT, providing your old MoT was still valid.
But now the second your car fails, it can be deemed "dangerous", and driving a car rated as that means a fine of up to £2,500 and three points on your licence.
Worse, if you've been fined for this in the past three years, it means a ban of at least six months.
Drivers face tougher sanctions if caught driving having failed an MoT under new laws
You aren't allowed to drive without a valid MoT, with fines of up to £1,000 if you're caught, but you used to be able to get round that.
This is because you can get an MoT a month before your current certificate expires.
So if you booked in early, rather than being forced off the road if your car failed, you could drive it away as long as it was deemed roadworthy.
This let drivers book in for the needed repair and get re-tested when it suited them.
But that might not be an option any more.

From May, cars will have any faults found placed in one of three categories:
Minor defects need to be identified and recorded and the car owner will be advised to have them repaired, but you still pass. Any dangerous faults receive an automatic fail.
This would be fairly academic, except for two things.
Firstly "using a vehicle in a dangerous condition" is an offence, one that carries a fine of £2,500 and three points on your licence the first time you're caught and minimum ban of six months if you're caught twice in three years.
Secondly, MoT results are uploaded and stored centrally, so any "dangerous" faults go on the database straight away.
And although police enforcement will still be driven by expiry data, the offence of driving with a dangerous vehicle applies whether you have a valid MoT or not. There will be clear evidence available to them if they do suspect the car to be problematic.
Which means, if your car does fail its MoT with a dangerous fault, you really don't have any choice but to leave it there until it's fixed now - no matter how early you book in your test.
Flood alerts still in place for parts of Somerset
"The changes to the MoT defect categorisation (minor, major, dangerous) are focused on making it simpler for motorists to know if their vehicle is safe to drive," Neil Barlow, DVSA MoT service manager, told Mirror Money.
"Our advice is that a vehicle with a 'dangerous' defect should not be driven until the defect is repaired, because it's dangerous both to the driver and other road users.
"In addition, any driver attempting to do so runs the risk of being fined or receiving points on their licence."
Police release 999 call recording of teenager asking for a condom
The DVSA still encourages motorists to get their MoT early – up to a month prior to their previous certificate expiring – to avoid the risk of being unable to get a booking in time.
This article has been amended in line with The Mirror's article to clarify that the offence of driving with a dangerous vehicle, and police enforcement powers, have not been changed. It is the classification of faults as dangerous during the MoT Test that will be updated in May.


We have some ground to cover since last time. I didn't get too far, and there's not a lot of plot, but, well, I did manage another recording or two. One's awesome, the other is, of course, choppy.
This is what I hear every time I fire up the game. I'm thinking of making it a notifier on my phone.
Now let's wait on the elevator.
Huh? A warning buzzer goes off.
Otacon : Snake, there's something I forgot to tell you before.
Otacon : There were five stealth camouflage prototypes in my lab.
Otacon : If you take out the one I'm wearing, that leaves four.
Hey. This isn't first grade math class.
Otacon : The four suits were missing.
Otacon : Also…about the elevator that I checked out… It's really strange. It was like someone was intentionally holding it.
When you were riding on it, did the weight limit warning go off?
Otacon : That's another thing that bothered me about it… The warning went off and I know I couldn't be over the limit.
Otacon : About 135. But that elevator had a weight limit of 650 pounds.
Otacon : L…Look out, Snake! The guys who stole my stealth prototypes are in there with you!!!
Guard : Too late, Snake! Now die!
That was not a nice closeup of Otacon. Also, where are the bad guys. Wait. I know.
Otacon : Snake!! Are you okay!?
Otacon! Were there any other stealth prototypes?
Otacon : No. There were only five.
Otacon : What are you talking about?
Otacon : Yes it's her! …It's definitely her!
Otacon… You sound like you're happy.
Otacon : No I'm not.
Otacon : Snake… please don't kill her!
Listen to me, kid. She's a merciless killer.
"Are you okay, Snake!?" No, you goddamned anime-obsessed freak, I just got shot. I'm not okay!
Wolf : I can see you perfectly from here. I told you… I'd never quit the hunt. Now you're mine.
Otacon : Wolf! No, you can't!
Wolf : Don't get between a wolf and its prey!
You're pretty good if you can hit me in this storm.
Wolf : You see? Women naturally make better soldiers.
Otacon : Wolf! Don't do this!!
Wolf : Snake, I'm near. Can't you sense me near you?
It's a mistake for a sniper to reveal her location.
Wolf : Is that right? Well I'm going to send you a love letter, my dear. Do you know what that is? It's a bullet straight from my gun to your heart.
Dude, Otacon just.. Wait. I'll have Wolf say it.
Wolf : Quiet! Don't get in our way!
Well, on a scale of 1 to 10 I'm about a fucked. I can't snipe.
This is a safe spot.
Again, a sniper rifle. It's the only long range weapon I have. Except for… Wait.
Hells yeah. This is the cheap and fast way. Snake stays in his little spot, doesn't get hit, and Wolf gets pelted with missiles.
Missing from this picture: Cigarettes.
This is where Otacon would call her and ask if she was okay.
Saladin? …You mean Big Boss?
Wolf : I became a sniper… hidden, watching everything through a rifle's scope. Now I could see war, not from the inside, but from the outside, …as an observer… I watched the brutality… the stupidity of mankind through the scope of my rifle. I joined this group of revolutionaries… to take my revenge on the world. But… I have shamed myself and my people. I am no longer the wolf I was born to be… In the name of vengeance, I sold my body and my soul. Now…I am nothing more than a dog.
This is a really sad scene, especially when paired with the music that plays.
Wolves are noble animals. They're not like dogs. In Yupik, the word for wolf is "Kegluneq", and the Aleuts revere them as honorable cousins. They call mercenaries like us "Dogs of War". It's true, we're all for sale at some price or another. But you're different. …untamed… solitary. You're no dog… You're a wolf.
Wolf : Who are you? …Are you Saladin?
Wolf… you spared Meryl's life.
Wolf : She… she was never my real target… I don't kill for sport.
Rest easy. You'll die as the proud wolf you are.
Wolf : I finally understand. I wasn't waiting to kill people… I was waiting for someone to kill me. A man like you… You're a hero. Please… set me free.
She spared Meryl, so that means that Meryl's still alive.
Wolf : My gun… give it to me… She's part of me.
Gah, it just keeps getting sadder.
Wolf : Everyone's here now. Okay, hero, set me free.
Otacon : Snake, you said that love could bloom on a battlefield… But I couldn't save her. What are you doing?
Returning it to it's owner. I don't need a handkerchief.
I don't have any more tears to shed.
I'm going to the underground base. We're out of time.
You'll have to protect yourself now. Don't trust anyone.
If I can't stop Metal Gear, this whole place will probably be bombed to hell.
Now, it's time to focus on the mission: Blowing a walking battle tank straight to hell.
Otacon : I'll hang onto my Codec. I wanna keep helping.
You can leave any time. Get a headstart… a headstart on your new life.
Otacon : Snake!! What was she fighting for? What am I fighting for!? What are you fighting for!?
If we make it through this, I'll tell you.
Otacon : Okay. I'll be searching too.

Shazam! - Mockers Special
Phillip Schofield introduces The Mockers at this benefit concert at the Christchurch Town Hall, which was later broadcast on Schofield's youth music show Shazam!. Their first album has just gone straight into the Top 10 and the band are well on their way to becoming pop stars, with Andrew Fagan, resplendent in red frock coat and bare chest, very much out front as one of Kiwi music's great showmen. Six songs are featured — including the hits 'Woke Up Today', 'My Girl Thinks She's Cleopatra', 'Alvison Park' and the title track of the band's 1984 album Swear It's True.
Live at Mainstreet - The Idles and The Mockers
The Mockers had a breakthrough year in 1984. Their sixth single 'Swear It's True' caught New Zealand's attention, and in May their debut album peaked at number four on the Kiwi charts. In June they played Mainstreet for one of 1984's batch of Radio with Pictures specials, spawning the live album Caught in the Act, which was released in July. Vocalist and part-time poet Andrew Fagan cuts a piratical figure in his sailor's jacket and trademark fingerless gloves. Dunedin band The Idles were a lesser known proposition. They made ripples in 1984 with their first EP, 'Agroculture'.
The Mockers
The Mockers were led by Andrew Fagan, who captivated audiences with flamboyant costumes, theatrics and a drawling pop vocal style. Formed in 1979 as the Ambitious Vegetables, Fagan and songwriter Gary Curtis renamed the band and set sail for pop stardom with a slew of hook laden singles and three studio albums. Their hit 'Forever Tuesday Morning' led to Fagan winning the 1985 RIANZ Top Male Vocalist award and in 1987 they headed to the UK, but not before drummer Steve Thorpe tragically killed himself; three years later the band dissolved.
Five Decades of NZ Number One Hits
This collection rounds up almost every music video for a number one hit by a Kiwi artist; everything from ballads to hip hop to glam rock. Press on the images below to find the hits for each decade — plus try this backgrounder by Michael Higgins, whose high speed history of local hits touches on the sometimes questionable ways past charts were created.
Forever Tuesday Morning
The Mockers, Music Video, 1984
The Mockers' most well-known single, 'Forever Tuesday Morning' was later listed at number 75 on APRA's list of the Top 100 Kiwi songs. Fagan sits in darkened solitude, a prisoner of his emotions, while the band heads into the TVNZ makeup room, passing Radio with Pictures presenter Karyn Hay on the way. After some mischief involving drummer Steve Thorpe, a can of hairspray and a budgie cut, the band performs. Fagan is now dressed in a flowing white shirt and trademark leotard ensemble. The song was written by Andrew Fagan, Tim Wedde and Gary Curtis.
One Black Friday
The Mockers were at the peak of their mid-80s pop prowess when they released this single. It originated with Andrew Fagan's Wellington based co-writer Gary Curtis hearing reports of the 1984 Queen Street riot in Auckland (after an outdoor concert which had featured The Mockers). The music video places the band amongst the lions, acrobats, rides and sideshows of the now defunct Whirling Brothers Circus (set up in Victoria Park in inner city Auckland). Fagan is resplendent in a velvet frock coat with lace cuffs, black choker and matching nail polish.
A Winter's Tale
Conservation pioneer Richard Henry tried to save the kākāpō from rats and stoats, via an island sanctuary in 1890s Fiordland. His doomed bird rescue efforts might seem an odd subject for a pop ballad. Singer/songwriter Andrew Fagan also included a paean to Antarctic explorer Ernest Shackleton on 1985 Mockers album Culprit and the King. Fagan argues that adventuring is "naturally something to aspire to. Writing pop songs about it never felt like an issue to me." This performance of the song, directed in a single shot by Brent Hansen, roams a gloomy Avalon studio.
Seven Years Not Wasted
A polar explorer might seem an odd subject for one of NZ's leading mid-80s bands to tackle – but, for all the make-up and rock'n'roll finery, Andrew Fagan was no ordinary pop star. This ode to Ernest Shackleton, from The Mockers' second album, was a pointer to Andrew Fagan the accomplished ocean going, solo yachtsman. Such subject matter would have sorely tested TVNZ's resources for making low budget clips. This compromise sees the band on a studio set dressed with suitably nautical looking nets, intercut with archival footage of a Shackleton expedition.
Radio with Pictures - Wellington 1982
Television, 1982 (Excerpts)
"You get the impression that Wellington wants an audience but doesn't want to be seen to be trying too hard to get one". This report surveys 1982's local music scene, framing tensions between an energetic politically-conscious underground, and commercial rock and pop (i.e. Auckland). Not all is positive, with complaints about lack of venues and promotion, and violence at gigs. Interviewees include Mocker Andrew Fagan, Nino Birch (Beat Rhythm Fashion), Dennis O'Brien, Ian Morris, promoter Graeme Nesbitt (in Radio Windy sweatshirt) and punk singer Void (Riot 111).
Survey - Deciding
Gliding On meets Borat, as a man pretending to be a fisherman from a fictional town heads to Wellington to find out if any government agency will take action about fish he says are dying in his river. Clad in jacket and tie and walk shorts and walk socks, he traipses the corridors of power which are artfully shot to look like a hell from which he will never escape. His attempts to find someone who can take action yield only a succession of impotent bureaucrats who participate happily but only to explain, often at length, why they can't actually do anything.

A True Story
On May 2, 1970, a DC-9 jet with fifty-seven passengers and a crew of six departed New York's JFK international airport en route to the tropical island of St. Maarten. The flight ended four hours and thirty-four minutes later in the shark-infested waters of the Caribbean. It was at the time, and remains, the only open-water ditching of a commercial jet. The subsequent rescue of survivors took nearly three hours and involved the Coast Guard, Navy, and Marines. In this gripping account of that fateful day, author Emilio Corsetti puts the reader inside the cabin, the cockpit, and the rescue helicopters as the crews struggle against the weather and dwindling daylight to rescue the survivors who have only their life vests and a lone escape chute to keep them afloat.

Addison Gets Another Restaurant, This One with Games
Nashville hot chicken sandwich
Kevin Marple
While Addison is an area densely populated with restaurants, some people have found that it is missing certain elements that would help elevate the city's nightlife, specifically, an entertainment venue.
Sure, one can catch live musical performances at Addison Circle, but those only occur every few months. There is also the Addison Conference Centre, but who wants to rock out in a conference center?
Upon the opening of Sidecar Social, founder Brent Tipps, who also founded BoomerJack's Grill and Bar, hopes to bring to Addison an epicenter for food, fun and live entertainment.
Austin's Bar-B-Que Delivers Modest Barbecue at Modest Prices
The New Chicken Sandwich at Popeyes Is a Game-Changer in the Fast-Food World
Te Deseo Offers a Destination for Latin Food and Music
Sidecar Social is a 20,000-square-foot venue where patrons, according to the slogan, can "Go. All. Out." Similar to grown-up drinking and game centers, such as Punch Bowl Social or Hero by HG Sply Co., Sidecar Social will boast a vast assortment of party games. At Sidecar, games will be free to play, as long as guests are eating or drinking. There will be no need to purchase tokens or game cards.
"Addison has forever been the eating and drinking capital up and down Belt Line (Road), and we just felt that there was a need for a venue," Tipps says. "Sidecar Social will be very interactive. You can play these games with your friends, instead of just sitting around."
Games will include traditional bar games, such as pingpong, darts and shuffleboard, as well as more interactive games like bocce ball and foosball, set up on a large table for eight competitors.
Sidecar Social will have cocktails, beer and wine at two bars on-site. One is a horseshoe bar with a lounge area off the main dining room. The other is a rectangular bar in the primary, two-story showroom between three 18-foot televisions.
Burnt end nachos
The rectangular bar offers quick access to the gaming area and banquettes with full views of the live music stage. At both bars, guests will have access to craft cocktails, including the elderflower paloma and the strawberry-basil bees knees. Both bars will also offer daily drink specials, including $5 craft cocktails on Tuesdays, $5 martinis on Wednesdays and half-price wine and happy hour drinks from open until 6 p.m. on weekdays.
Tipps says the kitchen will offer a "chef-driven" menu and emphasize shareable appetizers, which include ahi tuna nachos, homemade hummus, charred corn guacamole and more. Larger entrees include the Nashville hot chicken sandwich, the Akaushi ground beef burger, the chicken and waffles, hanger steak and more.
Throughout the week, Sidecar Social will showcase a variety of local acts onstage, including acoustic acts, live dance bands and DJs.
"We'll definitely have live entertainment on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays," Tipps says. "We're also going to have live-band karaoke on Wednesdays."
For those who don't want to perform in front of a large audience, private karaoke rooms will be available upstairs.
Outside, guests will find an elevated, dog-friendly patio, as well as trees and weatherizing features to keep patrons and their dogs at more comfortable temperatures all year long. Sidecar Social will also partner with Operation Kindness, the largest no-kill shelter in North Texas. Guests can order a meal for their dogs called the doggie entrée bowl, and proceeds will benefit Operation Kindness.
"Sidecar Social is a niche," Tipps says. "There's nothing in this area like it. We're here to make sure you have a good time."
Sidecar Social is slated to open at the end of August.
Sidecar Social, 5100 Belt Line Road, #401, Addison

TV ReviewsBroadchurchSeason 3
This Broadchurch case makes Hardy ashamed to be a man
Andrew Buchan, Jodie Whittaker (Photo: BBC America)
BroadchurchSeason 3
"Season Three, Episode Three"
There's a lot of talk this week of "It's not about you," "It's not about me," etc., and I think that's really interesting. In any case, especially one as disturbing as this one, people have the tendency to focus on themselves, how things affect them specifically, without taking in the big picture. But Hardy points out that his daughter Daisy is the focal point in his life, so much so that he returns to a place that he "mostly" hates to make a better life for her. In contrast, Katie frets about Hardy's reaction to her when he's in the middle of this seemingly unsolvable case. But the worst offender is Mark, whose continued efforts to want to get justice for Danny aren't doing anything but destroying the family he still has. When it's not about you, but your own perspective is all you can see, how can you move past that? These discussions made for a very interesting episode, with our classic Broadchurch cast appearing much more thoughtful than this unsavory new lot from Cath's party.
This week in "Shut up, Katie!": However, Katie must be correct in assuming that nobody likes her. Even though she did make an excellent chart of all the male suspects.
And so many of them! Right now Lucas/Clive the cab driver, Cath's husband Jim, and Trish's husband all appear the most guilty. But we can see why Hardy despairs over his gender in this episode, as there's hardly a decent example to be found. The husband who scoffs at the dinner his wife made him and is slow to deny that he had anything to do with her friend's rape. The other husband who is unfaithful on such a frequent basis that his pious wife has nothing left to do but cling to the hopeful future of her son. Even Tom, scouring his mother's room until he finds his phone, and goes right back to doing what got him into trouble in the first place. Or the menacing group of boys on Hardy's doorstep. The show is almost comically pointing out the vast differences between these other men and Hardy, who's almost a white knight at this point compared to the partygoers, adults who get into a fistfight at a 50-year-old's birthday party. Although Pastor Paul tries, as does Ellie's father, but Mark can't see that all of his efforts are causing his family to slip away from him.
In my overall season review, some commenters said they were disappointed with the Hardy-Miller interactions this season, and this episode is just one reason why I just don't get that. Their relationship is the heart of the show, and counteracts all the darkness that surrounds the two as they investigate this vile case. Even though he outranks her, Hardy respects Miller's opinion, so much so that she's able to tell him when he needs sleep or when he's too hard during a questioning, and he appears to value her opinion. The whole scotch egg conversation was as charming as it was illuminating. And somehow, Hardy crying out "Millah!!" will never get old, preferably with a scotch egg in his hand.
To that end: "I"m just not good at…" "People? Interpersonal relationships?"
Hardy's discussing Daisy with Miller may also help explain his fervency for this case, as Daisy could be at risk with this attacker still running around. Even Miller seemed a bit vulnerable during her walk home in the dark.
David Tennant and Olivia Colman are great, but wow, Jodie Whittaker had some riveting scenes this episode.
Guiltiest suspect this week: Cab driver Lucas/Clive. I mean, come on, he has Trish's keychain in his locked-up drawer of mementos.

Scottish litigants, rebels and cautioners (1545-1569)
The Privy Council of Scotland exercised a superior judicial authority in the kingdom, and consequently received and dealt with a constant stream of petitions, as well as dealing with the internal security of the state. This register of the council from June 1545 to July 1569, in the reigns of Mary queen of Scots and king James VI, was edited by John Hill Burton, Historiographer Royal for Scotland, and published under the direction of the Lord Clerk Register of Scotland in 1877. Some of the individuals mentioned are the complainants, those of whom they complained, and the sureties on both sides: at this period, some of the complainants are alleging serious attacks, often of a feuding nature. Many of the bonds entered into by the cautioners are promises to keep the peace towards such enemies. Failure to answer to the council when summoned was a serious contempt, leading to being denounced a rebel, with serious consequences. But 'horning' was also used in the pursuit of debts: there was no imprisonment for debt in Scotland, but a creditor could have an obstinate debtor ordered, in the sovereign's name, to pay what was due, failing which, the debtor could be put to the horn, denounced as a rebel, and imprisoned as a rebel. In his preface to this volume, Burton remarked that "There might perhaps be objections to the abundance of names of persons and places unknown to fame; but it was considered that in such a work the proper names of all persons and places occurring in the Register should be preserved, to be at the service of genealogical as well as historical investigators".

The Privy Council of Scotland exercised a superior judicial authority in the kingdom, and consequently received and dealt with a constant stream of petitions, as well as dealing with the internal security of the state. This register of the council from July 1610 to February 1613, in the reign of king James VI, was edited by David Masson and published under the direction of the Deputy Clerk Register of Scotland in 1889. The publication starts with the Acta and Decreta, a chronological consolidation of material from Acta Secreti Concilii proper, the Decreta, the Book of Commissions, the Book of Sederunts, the Minute Book of Processes, and The Book of the Isles. There is then a section of Royal and Other Letters (pp. 565-644); then acts and bands (bonds) of caution (surety) from the registers called Acta Cautionis (pp. 647-690); and Miscellaneous Privy Council Papers (693-746). Many of the individuals mentioned are the complainants, those of whom they complained, and the sureties on both sides: at this period, many of the complainants are alleging serious attacks, often of a feuding nature. Many of the bonds entered into by the cautioners are promises to keep the peace towards such enemies. Failure to answer to the council when summoned was a serious contempt, leading to being denounced a rebel, with serious consequences.
Masters of Apprentices registered at Edinburgh (1717-1719)
Apprenticeship indentures and clerks' articles were subject to a 6d or 12d per pound stamp duty: the registers of the payments usually give the master's trade, address, and occupation, and the apprentice's father's name and address, as well as details of the date and length of the apprenticeship. There are central registers for collections of the stamp duty in London, as well as returns from collectors in the provinces. There was a single collection for the whole of Scotland, made in Edinburgh. The sums collected are recorded in Scottish money, with conversion to sterling for transfer to London. A Scottish pund was worth 20 English pence. Because of the delay before some collectors made their returns, this register includes indentures and articles from as early as 1716.

Q: reversal of a list of strings using a recursive function I am trying to reverse a list using a recursive function. Unfortunatley I am fairly new to recursion. Is this possible? That is my code thus far
def stringRev (word):
    worLen = len(word)
    if worLen == 1:
        return word
    return (word[-1]) + stringRev(word[:-1])

listWord = ["hey", "there", "jim"]
print(stringRev(listWord))

A: Your problem is that (word[-1]) is a string, not a list.  So you are trying to add/concatenate a string and a list.  I changed that expression to [word[-1]] to create a list.
>>> def stringRev (word):
...     worLen = len(word)
...     if worLen == 1:
...         return word
...     return [word[-1]] + stringRev(word[:-1])
...
>>> listWord = ["hey", "there", "jim"]
>>> print(stringRev(listWord))
['jim', 'there', 'hey']
>>>

PS. It would be helpful if you included the error you received when running your code: TypeError: Can't convert 'list' object to str implicitly

A: To reverse the order of the elements of the list, change:
return (word[-1]) + stringRev(word[:-1])

to
return [word[-1]] + stringRev(word[:-1])

(note the square brackets).
The problem is that you are trying to concatenate a string (word[-1]) with a list (word[:-1]).

The problem is that your function is expecting a single word, yet you're calling it with a list of words.
If you call it as follows, you'll see that it works just fine:
for word in ["hey", "there", "jim"]:
    print(stringRev(word))

Or, if you wish to store the reversed strings in a list:
l = [stringRev(w) for w in ["hey", "there", "jim"]]

The one corner case where your function would fail is the empty string. I don't know whether that's a valid input, so it could be a non-issue (but trivial to fix nonetheless).

A: If you want it done in Python:
reversed(listWord)

assuming word is a list or a tuple
http://docs.python.org/2/library/functions.html#reversed
And to get a list:
list(reversed(listWord))

should work
But if you want an algorithm, I guess reversed is not your friend !

Q: Spring Security 5 : No Beans of type BCryptPasswordEncoder found I'm trying to secure a REST API using JWT tokens. For saving encoded user password I'm trying to use bcrypt for encoding. However when I'm trying to autowire BCryptPasswordEncoder, I'm getting following error :
Could not autowire. No beans of BCryptPasswordEncoder type found. Check autowiring problems in bean class.

This is how my controller looks like :

Has something change in Spring Security 5 regarding Bcrypt?

A: The article you mentioned describes it a little bit further:

There is no default instance of BCryptPasswordEncoder that can be injected in the UserController class

And later in code
@Bean
public BCryptPasswordEncoder bCryptPasswordEncoder() {
    return new BCryptPasswordEncoder();
}

Did you follow these steps and do you define a BCryptPasswordEncoder class?

A: add it like this in your main application class
    @SpringBootApplication
    public class YourApplicationName{

        public static void main(String[] args) {
            SpringApplication.run(MobileAppWsApplication.class, args);
        }
        @Bean
        public BCryptPasswordEncoder bCryptPasswordEncoder() {
            return new BCryptPasswordEncoder();
        }
}

A:     @Bean
public BCryptPasswordEncoder bCryptPasswordEncoder() {
    return new BCryptPasswordEncoder();
}

add this injection in the same class ,cause spring could not inject automaticaly this dependency by using only autowired

A: @Bean
public BCryptPasswordEncoder bCryptPasswordEncoder() {
    return new BCryptPasswordEncoder();
}

This code worked for me by placing it main class of spring (Spring5MvcRestApplication)

A: @Bean
public BCryptPasswordEncoder bCryptPasswordEncoder() {
    return new BCryptPasswordEncoder();
}

This code works for me

A: you have just add BCryptPasswordEncoder in your code or in a main class:
@Bean
public BCryptPasswordEncoder bCryptPasswordEncoder() {
    return new BCryptPasswordEncoder();
}

APPLE DITCHES 'MAC GUY' IN NEW ADS
Apple's "I'm a Mac" campaign is almost perfect: It's funny, memorable, and efficiently lays out the advantages of Macs over PCs. Its only defect: Virtually everyone who watches it comes away liking the "PC guy" while wanting to push the "Mac guy" under a bus.
Small wonder, then, that as Apple prepares a new batch of commercials, "Mac guy"—aka Justin Long, of Dodgeball and Herbie: Fully Loaded semi-fame—is nowhere to be found. A rep for Long confirms that his days as an Apple pitchman are over: "Every ad you see Justin in is for that previous time period only," she tells Radar. "There's no long-term deal with him." She adds (somewhat implausibly, perhaps), "Justin's a movie star, not a commercial guy."
Meanwhile, the campaign's other principals, director Phil Morrison and journo-humorist John Hodgman, are both returning for another round of spots, according to sources. Reps for Morrison and TBWA\Chiat\Day (Apple's ad agency) all declined to comment, and Hodgman's rep could only confirm that new ads were in the works.
Why was Long dropped, specifically? Perhaps for striking people as a "smug little twit," in the words of Seth Stevenson, ad critic for Slate. Long, he adds, is "just the sort of unshaven, hoodie-wearing, hands-in-pockets hipster we've always imagined when picturing a Mac enthusiast…. It's like Apple is parodying its own image while also cementing it." Of the polymathic Hodgman, who has drawn acclaim for his work on The Daily Show and NPR's This American Life as well as his book, The Areas of My Expertise, Stevenson writes, "Even as he plays the chump in these Apple spots, his humor and likability are evident."
Shouldn't a computer company have known that geeky is the new cool?
UPDATE: Whether or not he strikes viewers as a smug twit, Long will appear in at least one more batch of ads before his deal with Apple runs out. According to his agent, David Guillod, Long is in the midst of shooting Mac's holiday campaign with Hodgman and Morrison. Shoots took place Monday and Tuesday, and more are planned for next week.

Mixing Alcohol and Cocaine Isn't Unusual – But It's Still Dangerous
Doctors have issued a warning about the "deadly combination" of cocaine and alcohol, after the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme revealed there were 13 "self-inflicted" deaths linked to the drug combination in England in 2018.
Dr David Bremner, group medical director for Turning Point, which offers advice and support on substance misuse, tells HuffPost UK mixing the two substances "is very dangerous" and in some cases can prove deadly. Last year, Mac Miller was found dead in his home and a coroner later determined he'd died from an accidental overdose due to a "mixed toxicity" of fentanyl, alcohol and cocaine.
Logan Woolliscroft, 21, died after falling off a cliff near his family's Derbyshire home in 2018. His dad Steve told the Victoria Derbyshire show he found 8g of empty cocaine bags and a bottle of Disaronno at the top of the cliff and instantly knew his son was dead.
Logan's body was later discovered and his dad believes the toxic mixture of cocaine and alcohol played a key part in his death. He has become increasingly volatile and depressed in the three months before his death, his dad said.
Mixing alcohol with cocaine is becoming increasingly "normalised" in society, says Dr Bremner, who believes awareness and education is the key to reducing harm caused by combining the two. "Very few people understand how dangerous the combination of alcohol and cocaine are," he says.
So what exactly happens to your body (and mind) when you mix them?First up, the scientific bit.All drugs get broken down by the body into chemicals and metabolites, which then give us the effect of that particular drug, Dr Remner explains. So when cocaine is broken down, for example, it breaks down into metabolites and you then feel the effect of those metabolites – the short-lived, intense high.
As the metabolites get broken down into more metabolites, you lose the effect of the cocaine and at this point people will likely want to take some more.
When you take cocaine and drink alcohol together, however, your metabolism changes and creates a very specific metabolite called cocaethylene.
"It's a very active metabolite," says Dr Remner. "It makes your cocaine feel more effective. So the person taking the cocaine thinks 'hell, this is good cocaine', but actually what they're experiencing is the effect of cocaine augmented by alcohol."
The European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA) suggests that over half of cocaine-dependent individuals also suffer from alcohol dependency, highlighting how the two are often interlinked.
Another effect of cocaethylene is that it lasts longer than the usual metabolites of cocaine, says Dr Bremner. So not only do people think they're taking 'better' cocaine, but the high lasts much longer than the typical 20-minute experience,The physical impact Mixing cocaine and alcohol on a night out might seem like a good idea, but the impact it can have on your heart can be very serious indeed. "The downside of cocaethylene is that it's very toxic," warns Dr Bremner, "so while this metabolite is coursing through your veins, you are 25 times more likely to die of a heart attack than if you were just taking cocaine by itself."
Cocaine and alcohol combined can raise your blood pressure and cause your heart to beat faster. Dr Rachel Britton, lead clinical pharmacist at Addaction, says cocaethylene is damaging to the heart and in severe instances can cause sudden death. It can also put a lot of stress on your liver.
While you might think that a heart attack won't happen to you if you're young, Dr Bremner offers a word of caution: "The tragedy is once you've had a heart attack you've damaged your heart. The diseases that we are prone to are invited into the body a hell of a lot earlier and not picked up because nobody's inspecting it." Related... These MRI Scans Show What Regular Cocaine Use Can Do To The Brain Cocaethylene also has the ability to make you feel sober – which might seem a positive but can backfire. "You might be out at a bar, you've had six pints, and normally without the use of cocaine you'd be slurring your words and needing to sit down, realising it's time to go home," says Dr Remner. "The difficulty with the cocaethylene is that it stimulates you to a point that it almost cancels out your alcohol intoxication or the drowsiness and suppressive effects of the alcohol."
So you're able to drink more than normal and but enter a vicious cycle where you sober up, take more cocaine, the coke wears off, the drunkenness kicks in, you take more coke, the coke stimulates you, you drink some more. And so on.
When the cocaine does eventually run out, the alcohol can catch up with people with the ferocity of a steam train. This can prove dangerous and can mean people are particularly vulnerable on their way home from nights out.
The mental impactMentally, alcohol and cocaine prove "a really dangerous" mix because while alcohol reduces inhibitions and impacts your ability to make wise decisions, cocaine causes momentary euphoria and quite often feelings of invincibility, says Dr Britton. "You can understand why people might harm themselves unintentionally," she says, alluding to the Victoria Derbyshire findings.
A study by Brown University found that combining alcohol and cocaine increased the risk of suicide. Dr Remner says "taking cocaine with alcohol removes the safe place" – so people might be more likely to cause harm to themselves.
He suggests this is because when they take cocaine and alcohol together, people can act on whatever emotion they're experiencing, rather than passing out or feeling sleepy from the booze. "Instead they're having incredible mood swings, they're very disinhibited from alcohol, and they're able to do something about it," he says. "It is very dangerous."
The combination of alcohol and cocaine has a very serious effect on serotonin reuptake in the brain. Expanding on this, Dr Remner says: "Cocaine gives you an immediate sense of wellbeing and confidence but it's very short-lived."In short, it releases "all of that day's happiness in one burst", leaving you with one euphoric burst followed by a "dramatic come down," he says. "You can have amazing peaks and troughs – and of course alcohol does that as well."
The combination can prove even more problematic for people who are already struggling with mental health issues. So if you're feeling depressed anyway, the mixture of cocaine and alcohol can exacerbate your mood. Dr Remner also worries that people with existing mental health issues might fall into the trap of self-medicating with cocaine and alcohol. "People who self-medicate very often make themselves feel incredibly worse," he adds.
Long-term use of cocaine and alcohol is "really quite damaging" to your mental health, says Dr Britton. Users can end up feeling depressed or anxious, which might lead to feelings they want to end their lives or hurt themselves. "We know about the dangers of cocaine and we know about the dangers of alcohol," she continues. "But what's less described is the dangers of both."
She urges people not to combine the two, and if you do plan to do so, not to do so alone – always make sure you've got someone there to watch out for you.
"We often find that people think they have to reach rock bottom before they can get help," says Dr Britton. "But that isn't the case." For those who need help, Addaction runs an anonymous web chat and walk-in support services.

Codependency is a strange word. The prefix "co" usually describes two or more components that exist in relationship to one another. And perhaps this word once made more sense when it described the relationship between an addict and her partner. But that was in the 1980's and this is now.
This book explains the concept of Codependency in all its forms. You will discover that Codependency can exist in your mind, as a part of your identity, without "co-depending" with anyone. And when codependent relationships are analyzed, it means almost all relationships, not just alcoholic ones.
If you went out on the street right now and asked ten people the meaning of Codependency, they would likely have ten different answers, or they would have no answer at all! Codependency is one of those terms that everybody uses but few understand.
Codependency is obviously not a flash in the pan; it has endured beyond the fad and fashion of its time. It has cracked out of the shell of addiction; and something new has hatched, something that undoubtedly touches you. When you're finished reading this book, you will know more about Codependency than 99 percent of the population. Quite frankly, you will see your family, spouse, friends, and coworkers, hiding in these pages. And odds are extremely high you will see yourself!
But don't worry, the book will teach you about Codependency; and you could even diagnose yourself with it, but you won't be left stuck in it. You will become aware of some of the important ways you'll change and move beyond Codependency.
Try to identify the shoulds that keep you from setting healthy boundaries for yourself.
Measure your level of resentment. Resentment comes from doing what you don't want to do, agreeing when you don't mean it, or expecting things from another without telling them.
Make sure your responses are not intended to control or manipulate another.
Take a look at your anger patterns. Do you get angry and defensive when others try to discuss a problem they have with you?
When you think you're being criticized, notice your responses. Do you react by being defensive, devastated, angry, crushed, incredulous, blaming, hostile, too fragile to handle it, etc.?
When you're asked for your opinion, don't immediately react. Take time to look inside for it, then share.
Respect others by allowing them to take responsibility for their own lives.
Identify what you have control over, and act on it. Let go of what you do not have control over.
Look at your current relationships and make sure you're being authentic. Speak your own truth without fear of another's judgment or reaction.
Look back at your family and see if you can identify codependent patterns there. This could help you become aware of your own unconscious patterns.

Super spirals on the Tully-Fisher relation
We have a new paper on the arXiv. This is a straightforward empiricist's paper that provides a reality check on the calibration of the Baryonic Tully-Fisher relation (BTFR) and the distance scale using well-known Local Group galaxies. It also connects observable velocity measures in rotating and pressure supported dwarf galaxies: the flat rotation speed of disks is basically twice the line-of-sight velocity dispersion of dwarf spheroidals.
First, the reality check. Previously we calibrated the BTFR using galaxies with distances measured by reliable methods like Cepheids and the Tip of the Red Giant Branch (TRGB) method. Application of this calibration obtains the Hubble constant H0 = 75.1 +/- 2.3 km/s/Mpc, which is consistent with other local measurements but in tension with the value obtained from fitting the Planck CMB data. All of the calibrator galaxies are nearby (most are within 10 Mpc, which is close by extragalactic standards), but none of them are in the Local Group (galaxies within ~1 Mpc like Andromeda and M33). The distances to Local Group galaxies are pretty well known at this point, so if we got the BTFR calibration right, they had better fall right on it.
They do. From high to low mass, the circles in the plot below are Andromeda, the Milky Way, M33, the LMC, SMC, and NGC 6822. All fall on the externally calibrated BTFR, which extrapolates well to still lower mass dwarf galaxies like WLM, DDO 210, and DDO 216 (and even Leo P, the smallest rotating galaxy known).
The BTFR for Local Group galaxies. Rotationally supported galaxies with measured flat rotation velocities (circles) are in good agreement with the BTFR calibrated independently with fifty galaxies external to the Local Group (solid line; the dashed line is the extrapolation below the lowest mass calibrator). Pressure supported dwarfs (squares) are plotted with their observed velocity dispersions in lieu of a flat rotation speed. Filled squares are color coded by their proximity to M31 (red) or the Milky Way (orange) or neither (green). Open squares are dwarfs whose velocity dispersions may not be reliable tracers of their equilibrium gravitational potential (see McGaugh & Wolf).
The agreement of the BTFR with Local Group rotators is so good that it is tempting to say that there is no way to reconcile this with a low Hubble constant of 67 km/s/kpc. Doing so would require all of these galaxies to be more distant by the factor 75/67 = 1.11. That doesn't sound too bad, but applying it means that Andromeda would have to be 875 kpc distant rather than the 785 ± 25 adopted by the source of our M31 data, Chemin et al. There is a long history of distance measurements to M31 so many opinions can be found, but it isn't just M31 – all of the Local Group galaxy distances would have to be off by this factor. This seems unlikely to the point of absurdity, but as colleague and collaborator Jim Schombert reminds me, we've seen such things before with the distance scale.
So that's the reality check: the BTFR works as it should in the Local Group – at least for the rotating galaxies (circles in the plot above). What about the pressure supported galaxies (the squares)?
Galaxies come in two basic kinematic types: rotating disks or pressure supported ellipticals. Disks are generally thin, with most of the stars orbiting in the same direction in the same plane on nearly circular orbits. Ellipticals are quasi-spherical blobs of stars on rather eccentric orbits oriented all over the place. This is an oversimplification, of course; real galaxies have a mix of orbits, but usually most of the kinetic energy is invested in one or the other, rotation or random motions. We can measure the speeds of stars and gas in these configurations, which provides information about the kinetic energy and corresponding gravitational binding energy. That's how we get at the gravitational potential and infer the need for dark matter – or at least, the existence of acceleration discrepancies.
The elliptical galaxy M105 (left) and the spiral galaxy NGC 628 (right). Typical orbits are illustrated by the colored lines: predominantly radial (highly eccentric in & out) orbits in the pressure supported elliptical; more nearly circular (low eccentricity, round & round) orbits in rotationally supported disks. (Galaxy images are based on photographic data obtained using the Oschin Schmidt Telescope on Palomar Mountain as part of the Palomar Observatory Sky Survey-II. Digital versions of the scanned photographic plates were obtained for reproduction from the Digitized Sky Survey.)
We would like to have full 6D phase space information for all stars – their location in 3D configuration space and their momentum in each direction. In practice, usually all we can measure is the Doppler line-of-sight speed. For rotating galaxies, we can [attempt to] correct the observed velocity for the inclination of the disk, and get an idea or the in-plane rotation speed. For ellipticals, we get the velocity dispersion along the line of sight in whatever orientation we happen to get. If the orbits are isotropic, then one direction of view is as good as any other. In general that need not be the case, but it is hard to constrain the anisotropy of orbits, so usually we assume isotropy and call it Close Enough for Astronomy.
For isotropic orbits, the velocity dispersion σ* is related to the circular velocity Vc of a test particle by Vc = √3 σ*. The square root of three appears because the kinetic energy of isotropic orbits is evenly divided among the three cardinal directions. These quantities depend in a straightforward way on the gravitational potential, which can be computed for the stuff we can see but not for that which we can't. The stars tend to dominate the potential at small radii in bright galaxies. This is a complication we'll ignore here by focusing on the outskirts of rotating galaxies where rotation curves are flat and dwarf spheroidals where stars never dominate. In both cases, we are in a limit where we can neglect the details of the stellar distribution: only the dark mass matters, or, in the case of MOND, only the total normal mass but not its detailed distribution (which does matter for the shape of a rotation curve, but not its flat amplitude).
Rather than worry about theory or the gory details of phase space, let's just ask the data. How do we compare apples with apples? What is the factor βc that makes Vo = βc σ* an equality?
One notices that the data for pressure supported dwarfs nicely parallels that for rotating galaxies. We estimate βc by finding the shift that puts the dwarf spheroidals on the BTFR (on average). We only do this for the dwarfs that are not obviously affected by tidal effects whose velocity dispersions may not reflect the equilibrium gravitational potential. I have discussed this at great length in McGaugh & Wolf, so I refer the reader eager for more details there. Here I merely note that the exercise is meaningful only for those dwarfs that parallel the BTFR; it can't apply to those that don't regardless of the reason.
That caveat aside, this works quite well for βc = 2.
The BTFR plane with the outer velocity of dwarf spheroidals taken to be Vo = 2σ.
The numerically inclined reader will note that 2 > √3. One would expect the latter for isotropic orbits, which we implicitly average over by using the data for all these dwarfs together. So the likely explanation for the larger values of βc is that the outer velocities of rotation curves are measured at a larger radii than the velocity dispersions of dwarf spheroidals. The value of βc is accounts for the different effective radii of measurement as illustrated by the rotation curves below.
The rotation curve of the gas rich Local Group dIrr WLM (left, Iorio et al.) and the equivalent circular velocity curve of the pressure supported dSph Leo I (right). The filled point represents the luminosity weighted circular speed Vc = √3 σ* at the 3D half light radius where variation due to anisotropy is minimized (Wolf et al). The dotted lines illustrate how the uncertainty grows away from this point due to the compounding effects of anisotropy. The outer circular speed Vo is marked for both. Note that Vo > √3 σ* simply because of the shape of the circular velocity curve, which has not yet reached the flat plateau where the velocity dispersion is measured.
Once said, this seems obvious. The velocity dispersions of dwarf spheroidals are measured by observing the Doppler shifts of individual member stars. This measurement is necessarily made where the stars are. In contrast, the flat portions of rotation curves are traced by atomic gas at radii that typically extend beyond the edge of the optical disk. So we should expect a difference; βc = 2 quantifies it.
One small caveat is that in order to compare apples with apples, we have to adopt a mass-to-light ratio for the stars in dwarfs spheroidals in order to compare them with the combined mass of stars and gas in rotating galaxies. Indeed, the dwarf irregulars that overlap with the dwarf spheroidals in mass are made more of gas than stars, so there is always the risk of some systematic difference between the two mass scales. In the paper, we quantify the variation of βc with the choice of M*/L. If you're interested in that level of detail, you should read the paper.
I should also note that MOND predicts βc = 2.12. Taken at face value, this implies that MOND prefers an average mass-to-light ratio slightly higher than what we assumed. This is well within the uncertainties, and we already know that MOND is the only theory capable of predicting the velocity dispersions of dwarf spheroidals in advance. We can always explain this after the fact with dark matter, which is what people generally do, often in apparent ignorance that MOND also correctly predicts which dwarfs they'll have to invoke tidal disruption for. How such models can be considered satisfactory is quite beyond my capacity, but it does save one from the pain of having to critically reassess one's belief system.
That's all beyond the scope of the current paper. Here we just provide a nifty empirical result. If you want to make an apples-to-apples comparison of dwarf spheroidals with rotating dwarf irregulars, you will do well to assume Vo = 2σ*.

Hi. Is there a connection to what you showed earlier about the rotating galaxies having zero intrinsic scatter around the BTFR? I.e. with this value of beta_c, are the dwarf spheroidals' deviations from the btfr completely explained by measurement uncertainties? Or am I off on the wrong track?
tritonstation says:
Yes, you are on the right track – with the caveat that it only applies to those galaxies to which it applies. It doesn't work for most of the so-called ultrafaints (the open squares in the first plot), I don't find these objects to be very informative as they are likely to be out of equilibrium (in any theory). That caveat aside, there is little indication of intrinsic scatter among the remaining dwarfs. Not zero, however: on the bright end, there are some clear deviations. One is Fornax, which has abnormally young stars, so that is probably an offset from the assumed stellar mass-to-light ratio. NGC 147 and NGC 185 are clearly different in velocity dispersion even though they are indistinguishable in luminosity. This might be attributable to differences in anisotropy, which likely happens on occasion. Intriguingly, NGC 147 has distinct tidal tails while NGC 185 does not. So there are some interesting details that lead to real deviations, but in most cases such effects are not perceptible with the current data.
urho rauhala says:
Tracy, this and other cosmology 'crisis' such as Hubble flow, Dark Energy/Matter etc is solved by starting from nonlinear differential rules of Suntola's Dynamic Universe (DU): dR4/R4=-2 dC4/C4 for differential expansion of 4-radius dR4 step scale dR4/R4 and its deceleration speed rate dC4 of velocity scale dC4/C4..
Relative correction or datum change of z= dR4/R4= 75.1 km/s/Mpc from local group R4 values to DU reference value 71 km/s/Mpc at z=0 converts the ratio 75.1/71 to local velocity ratio Beta_c=2 x 75.1/71=2.1155 = close to MOND prediction 2.12. See DU book to relate heavy mass center values to 'dips' -dR4 in direction of R4 of ideal homogeneous mass distribution with corresponding larger dC4 values. This may also be explained as 'conspiracy of Nature' fooling GR based cosmologies to see 'accelerated' vs decelerating expansion C4 or decelerating dR4/R4 distance scale for expanding R4 – as in attempts of deriving H0 at very small values of R4 near CMB and extrapolating them to present H0 values of large R4 near 13.8 Bly.
H0 has nothing to do with the value of beta_c as all these Local Group dwarfs are sufficiently nearby that they do not participate in the Hubble flow and have direct distance measurements. There is no scaling by z.
Mark Huisjes says:
So the βc=81/4≈2.12 is due to the combination of σ3D=√3σ* and M=9/4 σ3D4/Ga0 only in isotropic isolated equilibrium low-acceleration pressure supported systems (as cited in Milgrom 1995) right? Are there derivations for the right βc in systems in the transition regime and in the Newtonian regime? So suppose I have a system that is mostly pressure supported with a small amount of rotation and with characteristic gbar's of a0 to 103 a0, what would be the right way of calculating gobs? Because I don't think gobs=3σ*2/R+V2/R works (unless Hernandez is off in his mass estimates for GCs by like a factor of 2.5).
Testing subscript and superscript
Yes, you have the math right, even if html won't cooperate. One does expect exceptions for the reasons you note – in the Newtonian regime, you ought to get sqrt(3) (and do, in the one case we have here). More generally, objects affected by the external field effect will have lower velocity dispersions than they would as isolated objects. So Crater 2 is predicted to be a 2 km/s object instead of a 4 km/s one that is smack on TF. Hard to tell the difference. As for calculating the more general case, you have the right idea, but it is messy in the tranisiton regime (the math we've stated so far only holds formerly in the deep limits for from a0). People have used numerical calculations to work out approximate fitting functions. IO forget the references offhand but can dig them out if you're keen.
Idranil beat you to it but thanks for offering! You're right that the external field is important. There is a fairly strong correlation (R^2=0.6) between the external field and the velocity dispersion when (g_int<g_ext). And that's with a very crude estimation of g_ext which assumes the MW is point like!
Indranil Banik says:
I would recommend using the formulae given here:
https://research-repository.st-andrews.ac.uk/handle/10023/18162
They cover two crucial generalisations of the Milgrom (1994) formula, which is actually clearly stated in a paper of his from 1994 (https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1994PhLA..190…17M/abstract) prior to the 1995 ApJ paper but never mind. The generalisations are that the gravity need not be much weaker than a_0, and there could be an external field. This requires a 2D grid of numerical simulations to cover different acceleration strengths internally and externally. The grid was completed and published in 2009. This should address your question of how to handle an arbitrary internal acceleration, and also how to include the external field effect.
Indranil
Thanks for the reference Idranil! That is exactly what I was looking for. Your work on the WBT is also really picking up steam I see. Can't wait to read your results for it based on GDR3!
This was an excellent study that provides an important test of the MOND prediction that the line of sight velocity dispersion should be sqrt(sqrt(4GMa0/81)) for isolated virialised galaxies in the deep-MOND regime. Naturally, objects prone to tidal disruption should be excluded from the analysis, as rightly done here. But testing MOND is not all about simply excluding such objects – it can also be tested based on which ones are affected by tides and which are not. This is a bit hard to do in the Local Group as the whole sky was not surveyed to the same depth or limiting surface brightness. But it could be possible further away for a system that subtends a small angle on the sky and was surveyed homogeneously and very deeply. This is indeed what we did here:
https://darkmattercrisis.wordpress.com/2021/08/
Another suggestion would be to correlate deviations from the isolated MOND prediction with the strength of the external field effect. Perhaps NGC 147 and NGC 185 are feeling the external gravity from M31. The external field effect has been detected in rotationally supported systems (ApJ, 904, 51), so perhaps it also shows up in pressure supported systems.
Robert A. Wilson says:
Suntola's DU is very interesting and thought-provoking. I believe it contains some important insights, but I also believe it does not go far enough. It is very important that DU considers certain variables that are usually considered to be constants, as genuine variables. Where I think it needs to go further, is to consider the possibility that these variables may not be physically real, but may be dependent on the observer's choice of coordinates, that is to say on the observer's experience of spacetime on a local scale (both in space and time). Therefore one can gauge the variables in different ways, in order to treat one's favourite variables as constant, such that others can vary against them. In circumstances in which it is impossible to do local experiments, one then has to make a choice of gauge, which has no physical reality, but is simply a matter of perspective.

Do you have thoughts on the new paper discussing a lack of an EFE in Ultra-Diffuse Galaxies in the Coma Cluster? J. Freundlich, et al., "Probing the radial acceleration relation and the strong equivalence principle with the Coma cluster ultra-diffuse galaxies" arXiv:2109.04487 (September 9, 2021) (submitted to A&A).
I discussed this in detail with the lead author and Benoit. I think these galaxies are significantly affected by tides, which have boosted the velocity dispersion. The agreement with the isolated MOND prediction is not all that great as the observed values are generally even higher, in addition to the theoretical difficulties of such an approach. A lot of the photos do look very elongated, suggestive of ongoing tidal disruption. The very low surface brightness could also be a sign of the same thing, as the dwarfs would be expected to expand if they were tidally disrupted. Indeed, if they were not, then one might find ultra-diffuse galaxies in the field, but these are rare – so somehow the dwarfs have expanded a lot only in cluster environments. That is surely due to tides. We even looked into how much tides could reasonably inflate the velocity dispersion based on N-body simulations run by Elena Asencio, and the answer is about the same as would be needed to explain the results, or equivalently by about the same factor as the external field effect reduces the velocity dispersion. Given the uncertainties, this is not all that much of a coincidence.
What would be interesting is if dwarf galaxies are missing in certain parts of parameter space, as that would be expected if tides are important. Indeed, we argued based on a much larger sample of 353 galaxies (compared to 11 in the article you mention) that there is a clear tidal edge in the data of a different much closer galaxy cluster called Fornax:
https://darkmattercrisis.wordpress.com/2021/08/02
MOND seems to work very well there. Now, it could be that the extra physics in galaxy cluster environments is less important in a lower mass cluster like Fornax than in Coma. Indeed, our data on Fornax hint that the dwarfs are more stable against tides than MOND predicts, though still within uncertainties. Still, it could be that we are missing something, and a similar analysis for Coma will not be consistent with classical MOND. Note also that velocity dispersions are hard to measure, and are far more likely to be overestimated than underestimated. Perhaps the measurements are right here, but I prefer our own analysis where we did not use velocity dispersion data at all, used a much larger sample at a much closer distance, and did a careful statistical analysis to find out if the tidal edge is where it should be in LCDM and classical MOND. There would be a problem for my approach if the velocity dispersions come out too high in many galaxies and they are generally close to spherical (arguing against tides), plus there are too many to all be chance alignments (so they must be in the cluster and feeling its gravity), and there exist plenty of dwarfs that should surely be tidally unstable according to the theory. This could be tested as the full Coma sample has maybe 350 dwarfs if one is not interested in velocity dispersion measurements. As a final note, I would like to point out the McGaugh & Wolf (2010, ApJ, 722, 248) work that had an excellent look at tides for Galactic satellites, and also that the Skordis model discussed by Freundlich is no doubt quite interesting but has not yet been published, and neither has our work on the Fornax cluster dwarfs. Regardless of publication, I would at least like to see more about the Skordis model on Arxiv or on a blog somewhere, though personally I do not believe it will work. I am of course willing to be open minded about this.

'Buffy' Stars Speak Out
Michelle Trachtenberg accuses Joss Whedon of 'very not appropriate behavior' on 'Buffy' set, more news
By Wonderwall.com Editors 6:48am PST, Feb 11, 2021
Michelle Trachtenberg joins growing chorus of 'Buffy' alleging misconduct by Joss Whedon
Another "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" alum has spoken out about Joss Whedon's alleged misconduct on the show. After Charisma Carpenter shared a multi-part tweet alleging the director was abusive towards her and created a toxic work environment on Wednesday, Feb. 10, Sarah Michelle Gellar posted on social media that she "stands with all survivors of abuse and am proud of them for speaking out." Shortly after Sarah's post, a third star spoke up. Michelle Trachtenberg, who played Sarah's character's younger sister, shared her former onscreen sibling's post and added her own allegation. "Thank you @sarahmgellar for saying this. I am brave enough now as a 35 year old woman….To repost this," Michelle wrote on Instagram on Wednesday. "Because. This must. Be known. As a teenager. With his not appropriate behavior….very. Not. Appropriate." Charisma's tweets began with the hashtag, #IStandWithRayFisher, a reference to claims the actor made about Joss on the set of "Justice League." In December, WarnerMedia announced that it had conducted an investigation into the allegations, saying, without much more detail, that "remedial action has been taken."

Rihanna's Fenty Fashion House goes dark as Savage x Fenty prepares to expand
As the coronavirus pandemic drags on, Rihanna appears to have reassessed the priorities within her Fenty empire accordingly. On Wednesday, Feb. 10, LVMH announced Fenty Fashion House, the luxury conglomerate's high fashion collaboration with the singer, will be pressing pause on all activity after less than two years on the market, according to Forbes. On the same day LVMH announced Riri's high fashion designs have been put on hold, the singer's lounge-at-home-friendly lingerie line, Savage x Fenty, announced it's raised $115 million in a new round of financing. The new funds will reportedly be used to help Savage x Fenty expand into retail and possibly launch an athletic line. According to a press release, Savage x Fenty's revenue increased by 200 percent last year. "Savage … is a representation of all," Rihanna said of the inclusivity-oriented brand, "and a validation that everyone is beautiful no matter what." The singer founded the lingerie line in 2018; Fenty Fashion House launched the following year.

Lori Harvey celebrates Michael B. Jordan's birthday with sweet Instagram posts
Smitten much? In the weeks since Michael B. Jordan and Steve Harvey's daughter, Lori Harvey, went public with their romance, they've quickly become one of Hollywood's Most Loved-Up Couples. That title was on full display on Lori's Instagram Story on Tuesday, Feb. 9, as Michael celebrated his 34th trip around the sun. "It's my baby's birthday," Lori wrote, sharing a series of cute pics of the two and a video of Michael giving her a big, warm smile (via Buzzfeed). "My favorite headache," she joked in a caption. "My big baby, my best friend, my sweet, stubborn crazy a– Aquarius, and the sexiest man alive," gushed the 24-year-old model. "Happyyy Birthdayyy Nugget 🎂. I love you, baby," Lori told her guy, sharing another romantic couples shot. "[I] hope today has been at least half as special as you are," she added. Michael and Lori first confirmed rumors they were an item in January on Instagram.
Why Britney Spears' boyfriend, Sam Asghari, finally spoke out about her father
Britney Spears' boyfriend, Sam Asghari, hit "a breaking point" with Britney's dad that led him to speak out against Jamie Spears' involvement in her life this week. That's according to an ET source, who says, "It seems like the ['Framing Britney Spears'] documentary and the recent support coming from Britney's fans has given [Sam] the strength he needed to finally speak out." On Tuesday, Feb. 9, Sam told followers on his Instagram Story, "I have zero respect for someone trying to control our relationship and constantly throwing obstacles our way," before calling Britney's dad an unprintable word. The insider went to share that Sam "feels like Jamie is far too controlling" and that "there are far too many restrictions." He reportedly wants his girlfriend to "finally be free of the conservatorship." The source also cautions that the people "closest to this situation" feel Jamie is simply looking out for her daughter and that it would be best for everyone if Sam and Jamie could "work out their differences."
Shia LaBeouf denies FKA Twigs' abuse allegations, wants her to cover his legal fees as he seeks inpatient treatment
Following allegations of physical and mental abuse from multiple exes, Shia LaBeouf has reportedly taken a break from acting while he seeks inpatient treatment. Sources tell Variety Shia is no longer working with his talent agency, CAA, and has instead been getting professional help for the past five weeks. The update comes after Shia's former girlfriend, FKA Twigs, filed a sexual battery and assault lawsuit against him near the end of 2020. In the suit, and in an interview with the New York Times, the singer claimed Shia attacked her violently, multiple times, during their relationship, and inflicted emotional and mental distress on her. On Wednesday, Feb. 10, People reported Shia's legal team has denied "each and every allegation" in her filing and asserted that Twigs has not sustained any injuries as a result of her relationship with the actor. The response further states the case should be dismissed and Twigs should be responsible to cover her ex's legal costs. Another ex, Karolyn Pho, made similar allegations in the suit. In December, Shia responded to the Times' request for comment on the allegations made by Twigs and another ex by saying in an email, "… many of these allegations are not true." In another email, however, he wrote: "I have been abusive to myself and everyone around me for years. I have a history of hurting the people closest to me. I'm ashamed of that history and am sorry to those I hurt." His lawyer, Shawn Holley, told Variety at the time, "Shia needs help and he knows that. We are actively seeking the kind of meaningful, intensive, long-term inpatient treatment that he desperately needs."

Chris Harrison weighs in on 'Bachelorette' casting rumors
"Bachelor" host Chris Harrison is throwing cold water on rumors Katie Thurston's already been cast as the next "Bachelorette." Speaking to Rachel Lindsay on "Extra" this week, Chris explained that despite growing buzz on social media, where Bachelor Nation fans have been begging the franchise to bring Katie back after Matt James eliminated her, no "Bachelorette" casting decision has been made yet. "I promise you this: If we named her the next Bachelorette, I was not there," he said. "We did not name her or anybody the next Bachelorette during the Women Tell All special. And in fact, we didn't even talk about who was the next Bachelorette … unless they started taping in the middle of the night after I left." He added that there's been "a large debate" about who should be cast next. Katie won fans over during here time on "The Bachelor" by advocating against bullying, according to People. She's also said her ideal relationship involves an ambitious guy who will treat her "as an equal."
Jason Isbell announces he'll donate all proceeds from Morgan Wallen song he wrote to the NAACP

"So… A portion of this money goes to me, since I wrote 'Cover Me Up,'" Jason tweeted on Wednesday, Feb. 10, sharing a link to an AP story about the sales spike. "I've decided to donate everything I've made so far from this album to the Nashville chapter of the @NAACP," Jason continued. "Thanks for helping out a good cause, folks." As Billboard's editorial director pointed out to People, more fans are likely buying and streaming Morgan's music in part because it's been yanked from radio stations due to the controversial video.
Aaron Rodgers, Shailene Woodley's engagement news surprised friends
If news of Aaron Rodgers and Shailene Woodley's engagement caught you by surprise, you're not alone. Even the Green Bay Packers star's inner circle apparently thought the relationship was "casual" until Aaron slipped a mention of their big news into his MVP acceptance speech at the NFL Honors ceremony earlier this month. "This isn't like Aaron at all," a source close to Aaron, 37, tells People, explaining that the quarterback is usually so "analytical" and "careful" that he wouldn't jump into a serious relationship immediately after getting out of his last one. "I mean, it really felt like one day he was with Danica Patrick, and then suddenly he was with Shailene," the source said. Aaron and Danica reportedly called it quits last summer, while Shailene, 29, told the New York Times in April that she was single.
