Q: HttpContext.SignInAsync() fails to set cookie and return User.Identity.IsAuthenticated as true I wrote a website that will do a SSO from Discord. I am trying to do a login system using only that by way of cookies. I seem to not be able to set the cookie and return User.Identity.IsAuthenticated; as true. When I look at the browser using F12, the cookie is not present. I am unsure why the cookie is not being sent to the user after logging in. I have provided below the Startup.cs and my login file.

                   });

the options.ConsentCookie.IsEssential = true; ignored GDRP and allows cookies to be set in the browser

A: The answer is that I was not configured to use HTTPS in ASP.NET so the cookies were never getting sent to the browser. I remade my project and checked the box to force HTTPS and everything worked fine, as is. I'll assume without a secure connection to send the encrypted data, it decides to just not send it.

A: I only change the port number and run the app in IIS express, then everything works fine.

A: In my case I configured app.UseAuthorization(); before app.UseAuthentication();
in Startup.cs
which have to be:
app.UseAuthentication();
app.UseAuthorization();
If anyone face this issue look at the configurations Order first.

It's 2019. Surely the tremendous advancements in medical science allow us to cure more diseases, particularly in the United States where the healthcare system should be top notch. Unfortunately, the focus of the vast majority of medical research is on treating and vaccinating against diseases rather than curing them. Why? The answer is obvious to those who don't have a heart for their fellow man.
But what if it's not that obvious? Let's look at the answer depicted by the folks at Truthstream Media before going into another possible reason.
According to Aaron and Melissa Dykes, there's simply not enough money in curing diseases for it to be a priority. In fact, there's evidence that suggests curing diseases actually hurts the bottom line for big pharma and their Wall Street backers, therefore it's better to NOT cure them but to continue the steady flow of treatments and vaccines.
It makes sense. If you cure a disease, you're taking away potential buyers for treatments. It's not quite that simple, but nearly so. That's the prevailing theory about why there haven't been the types of medical breakthroughs one would expect considering the dramatic rise of other types of technologies. In two decades, computers have become exponentially faster and capable of storing vastly more data. In one decade, cars have been made that can drive themselves, smartphones have become more powerful than "old" desktop computers, and the internet has literally all the answers available to just about every question man has asked.
And yet, progress in the medical arena has been at a standstill. Sure, they're coming up with new treatments, but where are the cures? How can we master so many other technologies, yet we're somehow no closer to curing cancer than we were half a century ago?
There's an alternative to the profits theory they propose at Truthstream Media. Actually, alternative isn't completely accurate. Let's call it a companion reason. Money is certainly an aspect that is used to control those within the medical research field, but what if the real reason they're not curing anything is actually worse? What if the powers that be, the principalities and rulers of the darkness of this world have reasons to keep people focused on treatment and ignoring cures? As Paul told the Ephesians, we're not battling flesh and blood.
What they want to do through medicine, I haven't a clue. That's far above my pay grade, but one thing I do believe is certain: whether in whole or in part, there's an influence over big pharma that goes beyond pure greed. It's worse than we think.

This service by iKüte is the most popular among our customers.
And no wonder - the use of innovative approach in heat accounting makes it possible to plan energy expenses more carefully, which means significant economy.
How does it work? On every radiator we install a control valve with thermostatic head and heat consumption meter. At the end of each billing month the control center of our company receives data from each meter that reflects actual heat consumption. Issues with apartments and rooms where it's colder due to objective reasons can be solved by introducing additional factors.
Our is suitable for apartment associations (more accuracy and precision) and for individual users as each person or family decide how much heat they will consume and how big the bill will be. It is important to note that these systems are extremely reliable and protected against unauthorized use. Any attempt to influence the meter reading will result with an alarm at the control center.
The advantage of this system is the fact that it encourages people to think about their heat consumption and pay attention to unreasonable use (open windows for a long time, poor-quality windows, too high temperature in the apartment, etc.). They can correct their habits and decide on the size of the monthly bill.
Please note that the installation of such a system in one apartment requires installation in the whole building. Connecting to the system requires certain technical conditions, and the decision to switch to it should be made by the management of the apartment association .
iKüte will analyze the possibilities of the system installment in your home and offer you the most appropriate version of the system of individual heat metering. Our professional staff will perform the works as quickly, clean and neat as possible.
If you have questions and you want to get more information about this offer, call or email us.


I first became a mum at 17. Back in those days, I was fiery, idealistic and willing to fight till death for my ideals. When doting grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends bought plastic toys for our kids, I would politely return them and caused a lot of bad feelings.
At 47, I would probably do things differently these days.
However, I still feel the same aversion towards plastic toys from the numerous examples of tortoises and other sea creatures being poisoned to painful deaths by discarded plastic. I am also concerned about the environmental pollution that this plastic industry and its resultant mountain of plastic waste that chokes our planet.
I was concerned about the health aspects, too. Children put toys in their mouths, don't they? We had a dog that suffered cancerous growth all over his body, because he ate plastic bags.
I also didn't like the feel of plastics, and toys with flashing lights and electronic sounds were the ultimate nightmare for me.
But enforcing this tough policy has resulted in surprisingly pleasant outcomes. The main one is that my children learned to engage themselves actively, either with pen and paper, make-belief dolls from corn stalks, paper costumes, pet circus and a whole myriad of creative past times that became the hallmark of their materially poor but spiritually rich childhood. They never asked for Disney programmes or any TV programmes or merchandise associated with the 'in' movie or iPads. When we saved up and took our young children to Disneyland Paris, my youngest son Jack screamed in terror when Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck approached him. Because in his world, mice and ducks are not made of plastic and neither do they wear shoes.
My children learned to love being outdoors too, because the garden was a whole lot more interesting than sitting in a room devoid of electronic entertainment. They learned to climb trees, build tree houses and burrows, caught insects, drew leaves and grew things. Whatever the season, they would be out in the garden. I attribute their immunity to childhood diseases largely to their outdoors lifestyle, for those were the days before hand sanitisers and needless medication. Fever, coughs, colds and diarrhea were treated with lots of water, rest and fresh air rather than a trip to the doctor or medication.
Having no toys in the house also disciplined us parents. We had to make cars and cookers and dollhouses from discarded cardboard boxes. We had to get up early to take them out for walks. We had to think harder on how to engage them rather than letting them be passively entertained by the television. We had to incorporate them into our lives (shopping, cooking, reading), which brought us the precious closeness that we enjoy to this very day.
But thinking deeper beyond these points, I really do think that children's playthings should be things that exist 'naturally' in real life, like pots and pans and wooden spoons. Why buy plastic tea sets when they can play with real freebies? It doesn't make sense, right? By compelling our children to engage with their natural world also grounds them to this beautiful planet.
Yesterday, whilst walking with my partner along a breathtaking beach at sunset, I could not help but notice these tiny turquoise medallions in the sand. I could not resist investigating further, and was blown away by the delicacy and complexity that exists in the smallest, humblest organisms that escape the notice of the world at large.
What are those blue buttons? I emailed my father this photograph.
Blue button jellyfish, he replied, though they are really colonies of polyps, known as Chondrophores.
How so very lovely they are, dotting the beach like tiny turquoise orbs, making the sunset walk even more magical. I hope my children will find such enchantment in nature, as they walk the beaches and woodlands and roads of their adulthood, as I have, growing up with a toy-less childhood, which opened my eyes to the bountiful beautiful free things around me.
There's increasing research to show that gluten causes an inflammatory response in the body, so though there is no one in my family who is gluten-intolerant, I made these gluten-free muffins with organic blue cornmeal. I lessen the 'heaviness', I added chopped apple cubes and cranberries.
Heat oven to 400F. Combine all ingredients and stir until evenly mixed. Pour into lined muffin tins. Baked until firm in the middle.
Tastes delicious with Greek yoghurt for a healthy breakfast!
PS. Good to bake more and freeze.
This is almost a meal in itself, inspired by the Welsh Colcannon. Try it, and you won't be disappointed!
Boil some potatoes until soft.
In the meantime, sauté sliced onions and garlic cloves (halved) until browned.
When the potatoes are soft, mash with lots of butter and a swirl of cream.
Add in the onions, garlic and sun-dried tomatoes.
Press into a baking tin and bake until crispy on top.
If you are a parent, bringing your children up is your most important job, because how you bring them up is your legacy. They are a continuation of your love, your values and your way of life.
I was 17 when I first became a mother. I did not do such a good job, but I am blessed in that I had a man with deep happiness in his soul to co-parent with me. We also had a lovely, close family who cobbled together to make it work in the most beautiful way (I think it is a combination of Welsh, Spanish and Cockney English that fostered this lovely philosophy of kindness rather than cold rigidity). I relaxed my unrealistic ideals about how children should behave, learned that love is the most important thing of all, and that everyday happiness is to be valued.
Almost 30 years later, I see the product of this philosophy.
My second son, Kit, is looking after my doggies for a few weeks, and he parents them up exactly the way that his father and I brought him, his brothers and sisters up. The doggies live in a relaxed household with Kit. He made a house for them in the shed, with rugs and a favourite couch, but the doggies chose to be indoors with him and his girlfriend. Instead of enforcing discipline, he moved them indoors without a second thought, because that was how his father and I brought him and his siblings up – they slept in our bed for the longest time, all happy sweaty bodies piled in together, never mind what we read in books about discipline and boundaries.
Kit takes the doggies everywhere with him. In the past week, they have been to Portland beach in Hampshire and later in the week, camping in Cornwall. He could have sent them to boarding kennels, which would have been simpler for him, as he will be on a camping trip with the boys. But his father and I, we took them everywhere with us too because we could not afford nannies and maids. We enjoyed their company anyway – they were fun kids, always full of life and resilient; they never sick, whiny or tired.
Our children were never perfectly behaved, they were not ideal kids by far, and but they were happy. We did our best to keep ugliness out of their lives, though mainstream thinking was that we must be tough to children to teach them how to cope with the tough 'real' world.
We chose a life of happiness and trust instead, accepting that life is imperfect and so long as we have 75% good, we are OK.
They have grown up into strong, nurturing adults. I think it is because their father and I gave them a stable childhood filled with love, and the latitude to be naughty rather than aiming for perfection. That little forgiveness and softness is so important, I find, because it teaches children to be forgiving and soft in adulthood.
I finished my University final exams on 11th June, 1992. I was no more than a child, still an inner void within me to fill, but I was already a mother to four children who went to University with me and grew up together with me.
It would not have been possible without my mother, who was always just a telephone call and a 3-hour car-drive away. My mother was always there to comfort and cosset. She never criticised, she just loved me unconditionally.
My mother-in-law was different from my mother. She was not as tolerant as my own mother. The summer the children and I had to live in her house whilst saving up for a deposit for our first home was a torture for me. I was expected to work, as opposed to being treated like a princess whenever I was at my parents' house. Whenever I was in my parents' house, my mother took over everything so that I could have my much-needed rest from my studies and from being a mother to a large brood.
My mother-in-law cured me of my spoilt behaviour, but it was a baptism of fire. I was lazy and incapable, and her son deserved more than the teenager who was dumb enough to fall pregnant on the first date, and who wanted grand things in life rather than knuckling down to being a mother, taking care of the family the proper way. I should have been thankful for the things I had, instead of chasing silly dreams at the expense of the family.
I used to run back to my mother, crying.
She, my mother, would tell me to learn to love my mother-in-law instead of commiserating with me.
"She's your mother now," my mum said, though her heart must have been bleeding at my tears.
And yes she was. My mother-in-law was my mother now. She made my maternity dresses. She was up at 3am with my colicky baby. She took the time to sit in the garden with me in her busy day. She tried to understand me.
Slowly, we began to laugh together. What started as an argument between us would end up in laughter. We began to cherish magical moments together, like sitting with a three week old baby in the rain eating soggy cheese sandwiches, because she was adamant that children need lots of fresh air (even in the rain). Slowly, the enmity turned into a deep and abiding love. It wasn't an easy relationship, but nonetheless it was one that shaped my life.
This summer, I cut flowers from her garden to bring to her in her nursing home. I found this letter, and it brought it back to me, the love I have for my two mothers, two amazing women, whom I owe everything to. They are still my mothers, and I their daughter, though I am 47 with a string of qualifications, impressive work experience, financial independence and five grown-up children. This positive dependency was brought into sharp focus this summer: though my mother-in-law is no longer capable of looking after herself, I still run to her, as I did this summer, when I needed a home.
I first became a mother when I was 17, and had 3 other kids by the time I was 25. I was an idealistic young mum, spiky and full of definite ideas about how my children should be brought up. I took my children along to university with me, so they had lots of playmates. We did not have much money, so my children had to make do with the little material things we could afford.
I banned plastic toys. I caused quite a lot of bad feelings when I firmly requested no plastic toys for Christmas and birthdays, and made a point of returning them when those requests were ignored by indulgent grandparents.
But I was glad about my no-toys stance.
It forced us to do more with our children, though that was a challenge sometimes after a long day at work or university. But the kids learned a very important lesson: they learned to cope with boredom by finding their own ways to engage themselves, instead of relying on us or electronic gadgets to be their chief entertainers.
They used to build houses that they invited us to visit. They used to make dinner for us with real kitchen utensils and fruits, seeds and nuts, giving those dishes imaginative names such as rabbit poo pie. They used to put on performances that they sold tickets for, setting the whole front room up as a theatre. They used to build a rabbit hole behind the settee that led into a wonderland, with my Princess Kat declaring, "Alice did not fall into the rabbit hole; she stumbled into one". They were so tiny then, with the eldest being no more than 10 at that time.
When they were teenagers, electronic games became a rage, but they continued on their own sweet way. They became experts at Charades and Pictionary, and then of course, the naughty stage of mixing alcohol. My son Jack started a newspaper delivery business with his best friend Anton and my nephew Matthew. My niece Kate, now in her 20s, made food balls for birds to study their preferences. This summer, my 15 year old decided to rewrite school textbooks in a mind-mapping sort of way. Maybe they are out of sync with youngsters of today, but they are fine growing up without plastic toys, expensive gadgets, designer wear or shopping malls.
Being outdoors also gets children in sync with the world they live in. They learn to navigate and negotiate with trees and animals and gravity, they learn to lose their fear but grow healthy respect for danger, and they get to meet germs and interesting things.
Thus my belief: the best toys for children are nature and their peers. Dr Richard Woolfson, a child psychologist, confirms through research that traditional games also bring families closer. In an increasingly isolated world engendered by virtual reality, it is important to be connected in real life to each other and to consciously work on that connection.
This summer, my youngest child was reading 'To Kill A Mockingbird' and of course, her father and I unwittingly became involved too, as we wracked our old brains to answer her Why mockingbird? And I realised there is another upside to not growing up relying on Professor Google for answers: my children continue to keep me young. I could not shut them out or fob them off or put them away like unwanted toys – they have become engaging human beings with strong views, vivacity, energy and enthusiasm for the world they live in. But maybe, just maybe, that after 30 years of parenting, it is time to buy an iPad for the 15 year old so that I can shut my eyes on long journeys.
One thing you learn if you are a mother with many small children living in an expensive city like London: you always carry food and drinks in your bag even if it is for a short trip out. Last summer, though my youngest child is already 15 and we have sufficient money in the bank for the odd cup of tea and the odd packet of sandwiches, I still could not stop myself carrying food and drinks in my very uncool big handbag.
At church yesterday, it was a young Filipino priest who gave the homily. He said that in his culture, food for travelling is a big deal. And he asks, what do we carry in our hearts for the journey of life: all the good things like love, compassion, mercy, wisdom, hope…..or heaviness such as bitterness, anger, regret?
It struck a chord deep in me.
Many years ago, whilst I was teaching yoga in NYC, I had a young lady in my class. Her body was tight, tense. She never looked like she was enjoying my class. I largely ignored her, believing that people come to yoga to find their quiet space.
Her story came tumbling out. She was abused as a child, and for 20 years, she had carried hatred for that person in her heart and it stopped her moving on. Inside the grown woman was a child stunted by hatred.

Peter, I love this post! A great message here, but I've always been fascinated by etymology and the different meanings of words in one language, let alone across languages. Really, really interesting. More of these please!
Thanks! I appreciate it! I've always been interested in language too. I remember being a kid asking why changing one letter in a word made it a "curse word".
Haha I remember similar things, like wondering why changing one letter changed the pronunciation of a different letter…language is amazingly interesting.

i Jul 17th w Comments Off on Save the Earth, Abolish War x by Afri
Joe Murray of Afri with Bruce Kent, President of the Movement for the Abolition of War, who celebrated his 90th birthday on the week before the conference!
Joe Murray recently attended a conference in London, organised by the Movement for the Abolition of War entitled 'Save the Earth, Abolish War'. Below is a short report on the meeting.
The first speaker was Peter van den Dungen of the International Network of Peace Museums, who referenced the title of a book he recently bought entitled 'the end of the world generation'. He described as 'diabolical' and 'the road to destruction' the philosophy based on the theory 'if you want peace, prepare for war'. He argued for the abolition of war and rejected the notion that it was not achievable – in the same way as people in the past rejected the notion that slavery could not be abolished; that women should not have the vote; that child labour was acceptable and that the dreadful practise of duelling was an honourable pursuit. Our ideas of right and wrong change, over time – and it is now well past time that the very idea of war was consigned to the dustbin of history.
The Second speaker was Dr Stuart Parkinson of Scientists for Global Responsibility, who outlined the impact of war and militarism on our Planet in clear and graphic terms.
Human activities emit GHGs and cause global heating and climate disruption.
60,000 US Military vehicles run at 6 miles to the gallon
F-35 fighter planes do 0.6 miles to the gallon – 100 times the pollution level of a new car
B-2 long range bomber does 0.3 miles to the gallon – 250 tonnes of C02e per 'mission'3.2 million tonnes of CO2e emitted by UK military in one year – higher than the carbon emissions from Iceland
BAE Carbon emissions were 1.2 million tonnes of CO2e 2017/18
The pentagon is the world's largest Institutional consumer of petroleum.
US military emits 59 million tonnes of CO2e
US arms industry emissions for 2017 – 280 million tonnes CO2e
War on terror has caused 3000 million tonnes of CO2e
Military responsible for at least 5 to 6% of emissions compared with cars which cause Cars 15%;
Farming 15%; Civilian airlines 3%
Reducing the military boot-print
US negotiators successfully argued for military carbon emissions to be excluded from targets under the 1997 Kyoto Protocol (Clinton Administration) but they were included under Paris agreement.
Military emissions are going downwards (slightly) under slogan "more fight – less fuel".
Highlight the high military carbon bootprint
Highlight the huge imbalance between military and climate spending
Point out that security goals are better served by shift from military to climate spending
Make link between climate and peace (war)
Arms conversion – successful examples
Factory making windmills in Hull – Centre for Green industry in Hull – taking jobs from the military
Make war history
Shift to public transport
Shift towards plant –based farming and consumption

Afri Solar Lights in Kenya

Where the lights shine
Christina Sote with Joe Murray
I had the privilege of visiting Kenya this summer and meeting some of the people who've received solar lights as part of Afri's partnership with Development Pamoja. I was amazed at the difference that a small and relatively inexpensive solar light can make to people's lives.
In the company of James and Maasai from Development Pamoja, we visited many homes where the light was shining and were told of the benefits it had provided. For example, Christina Sote (see short video on our YouTube channel) uses it as a torch, if she hears rustling outside after dark, she can check to see if there is a snake about. She also uses it when she is cooking, to help her grand children when they are reading at night as well as to charge her phone, saving her a walk of many miles, which she used to have to do.
Likewise, 28 year old Judy Chelangat lives in the village of Lomolo with her eldest son, Matthew who has a disability. Judy says the solar light helps her to care for her children in the evening, helping with cooking and other chores. The solar panel also enables her to charge her mobile phone and to keep in contact with the local clinic regarding Matthew's health.
We also met Oscar Kiprotich, who is thirty four years old and has suffered from multiple sclerosis for fifteen years. Oscar, who is wheel chair bound, lives with his mother and twelve year old niece Florence. The solar lamp allows Oscar to read in his bed in the evenings. It also enables him to assist Florence with her homework when she returns from school.
In the context of a world facing the threat of climate change, this is a small but significant way of positively impacting people's lives, in a way that is viable and sustainable and provides an example for all of us – in our fossil fuel addicted society.

The Dunnes Stores anti-apartheid strike has become iconic in the pantheon of great acts of resistance around the world – but it wasn't always so.
The young strikers had to endure hardship, rejection, demonization and more in the course of this extraordinary act of solidarity.
Mary Manning's book, 'Striking Back' , written with Sinèad O'Brien not only provides a first-hand account of the strike from start to finish but also interweaves her own story – exemplifying her great courage and integrity – at a personal and political level.
Afri are proud to have supported the Dunnes Stores Strikers and to promote this excellent book by Mary Manning.
CETA, Fancy Socks and Corporate Power
i Oct 5th w Comments Off on CETA, Fancy Socks and Corporate Power x by Afri
Afri's focus on An Gorta Mór is about looking at causes and consequences and, especially at its relevance for today. The 'Great Hunger' had many causes, including colonialism, blind allegiance to laissez faire economics and loss of biodiversity leading to over-dependence on one variety of potato. These issues remain totally relevant today as, for example, ten large profit-driven corporations control the vast majority of the food we eat. It is in this context that Afri has been campaigning to highlight serious concerns around the Comprehensive Economic Trade Agreement (CETA). Not only is this deal about further promotion of intensive agriculture, but most worryingly of all, it includes the toxic 'Investor Court System'. This short film outlines some of the issues involved.

Treaty Banning Nuclear Weapons Adopted

Press Release from the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN)
After a decade-long effort by the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN), and 72 years after their invention, on the 7th July 2017 states at the United Nations formally adopted a treaty which categorically prohibits nuclear weapons.
Until now, nuclear weapons were the only weapons of mass destruction without a prohibition treaty, despite the widespread and catastrophic humanitarian consequences of their intentional or accidental detonation. Biological weapons were banned in 1972 and chemical weapons in 1992.
On adoption of the treaty, ICAN Executive Director Beatrice Fihn said:
"We hope that today marks the beginning of the end of the nuclear age. It is beyond question that nuclear weapons violate the laws of war and pose a clear danger to global security.
No one believes that indiscriminately killing millions of civilians is acceptable – no matter the circumstance – yet that is what nuclear weapons are designed to do.
Today the international community rejected nuclear weapons and made it clear they are unacceptable.
It is time for leaders around the world to match their values and words with action by signing and ratifying this treaty as a first step towards eliminating nuclear weapons." (more…)

A protest took place today outside Government Buildings to coincide with the visit of Canadian Premier Trudeau. The protest was in opposition to the proposed EU Canadian Comprehensive and Economic Trade Agreement and to call for the rejection of the deal by the Irish Government.
The protest was organised by Comhlamh and supported by Afri and participants expressed concerns as to how CETA will compromise laws which protect health, the environment, and the rule of law in the EU.
Participants also urged the Government to hold off on any vote to ratify the deal until the European Court of Justice examines the legality of CETA under EU law. Protestors are particularly alarmed by the notorious Investment Arbitration System, included in the deal, which allows foreign big business to sue Governments when their actions impact on their profitability.

This public meeting was part of a tour around Ireland visiting Cork, Galway, Cloughjordan, Leitrim and Dublin. Chas is a tribal organiser who lives in Rapid City, South Dakota, and aims to encourage people to engage and mobilise.
Since 2016 the Standing Rock Reservation has been the scene of a protest against the Dakota Access Pipeline which aims to bring oil from Canada into the US through Native American lands over fears of contamination of drinking water supplies. The existing Keystone 1 pipeline has leaked 26 times.
Chas spoke about the legacy issues of the 19th century treaties between the U.S. government and the First Nations people. In 1873 General Custer found gold in the Black Hills which led to people being moved – without compensation – and separated into various different reservations, one of which is the Standing rock reservation.

Venue: The Teacher's Club, Parnell Square
Date: Monday, June 26th
Standing Rock was a beacon of hope for the world where indigenous people from all over the United States came together to resist corporate power and protect the water that is their life. Chas Jewett is one of those protectors. This public meeting will draw out the links between the Standing Rock action and threats to water in Ireland and worldwide and the need to continue protecting our water and our planet.

Freedom beckons for Chelsea Manning

From Left to Right: Joe Murray, Afri Co-ordinator, Susan Manning (mother of Chelsea Manning), and Gerry Conlon at a solidarity event in 2013. Photo: Derek Speirs
Chelsea Manning was never one to take the popular or easy route in life. The decision to release classified information that would rock the world of military secrecy and murder would lead to her vilification and brutalization. But Chelsea did it because she believed in the truth: 'I want the people to see the truth…because without information you cannot make informed decisions.'
Afri became involved in the 'Free Chelsea Manning' campaign when peace activist Ciaron O'Reilly organised for Chelsea's family, who have strong Irish connections in Kerry and Dublin, to make a visit to Ireland. We organised a programme of events including a public meeting in Trinity College attended by Chelsea's mother, aunts and uncle and addressed by Chelsea's aunt Sharon as well as by the former Guildford 4 member, Gerry Conlon.
That was an evening of deep emotion: Gerry Conlon, tragically no longer with us, spoke with his trademark passion, principle and anger at how legal and political systems in Britain had crushed his own life and extinguished the life of his father, Guiseppi Conlon. He praised the courage of Chelsea Manning and lamented the fact that there was no similarly brave whistle-blower in the British system when he and his father and Maguire relations were incarcerated on completely spurious charges.
As a result of that visit to Ireland, Donal O'Kelly was inspired to initiate the Manning Truthfest, consisting of artists, musicians and activists who crossed the Irish sea in the Spring of 2014 and 2015 and again in the Autumn of 2016 to sing songs and play music in solidarity with Chelsea and her Welsh-based family and to protest the inhumanity of the 35 year sentence imposed upon her. Afri was a central part of this extraordinary seaborne solidarity!
During one of those visits, Chelsea's uncle Kevin, a life-long Manchester United supporter, said it would have been easier had Chelsea chosen any other name than that of a rival football club to mark her female identity! Chelsea never dodged difficult decisions…
The commutation of Chelsea's sentence is perhaps the best thing that Barack Obama will have done in office. But Chelsea, together with tens of thousands of other US soldiers, should never have been in Iraq, where they have succeeded only in laying waste to the country and its people. And Chelsea should never have been in prison in the first place. (more…)

The Welsh-Irish family of imprisoned whistleblower Chelsea Manning has issued the following statement in response to the announcement that President Obama has commuted Manning's sentence.
We are all overjoyed that Chelsea will soon be free.
Chelsea exposed wrongdoing and was punished for being a whistleblower. We regret that it has taken so long for President Obama to commute the sentence and are outraged that Chelsea has been forced to endure such abusive treatment in prison. We agree with the UN Special Rapporteur Juan Mendez that some of this abuse amounted to torture.
We sincerely hope that Chelsea will now be able to get on with the rest of her life and that she finds happiness and fulfilment in whatever she chooses to do. There will always be a welcome for her here in Wales.

Afri expresses solidarity with the Apollo House project outside the High Court in Dublin
As an organisation promoting justice and equality at home and abroad, Afri supports the 'Home Sweet Home' group who have taken over the empty Apollo house in central Dublin, in order to provide accommodation for homeless people. This is a sensible, generous and effective response to the homelessness crisis, and it has caught the imagination and garnered the support of tens of thousands of people throughout Ireland.
This action not only provides urgently needed accommodation for homeless people but it also shows up the scandal of policies pursued by successive governments, who have created this crisis by not providing sufficient social housing and by instead pandering to 'developers' and big business interests.
It also demonstrates the scandalous behaviour of NAMA, which has intensified the effects of the economic crash by selling properties to vulture funds instead of fulfilling the basic needs of people for housing and shelter.
People have grown weary of the hand-wringing about the issue of homelessness, often by those whose policies brought it about, and are invigorated by the sight of people taking practical action to address the crisis.

Ian Irwin
March 30, 1931 - September 1, 2016
It is with profound sadness we announce the passing of a much loved husband, father, grandfather, and friend. Ian is survived by his beautiful, loving wife, and best friend of 58 years Shirley, and his three cherished daughters, Elizabeth (Bill Saunders), Joan (Stephane deRaucourt) and Carol (Ron Panchuk); his five grandchildren, Jennifer, Prentice, Emmanuelle, Shannon, Frederique and step-grandchildren Justine and Jeremy.
Ian was born in Calgary, Alberta to George and Elizabeth (nee Mason) Strong. He was predeceased by his sister, Katharine Margaret Balfour in 1990. After 65 years in Calgary, Ian and Shirley moved to the peaceful tranquility of, as Ian fondly called it, "Arthritis Ridge" on Vancouver Island in 1996.
Ian attended Rideau Park Elementary and Junior High School; Calgary Collegiate Institute (now Dr. Carl Safran Centre; University of Calgary (1952) and later obtained a Chartered Accountant designation from Queen's University (1960).
Ian began his most interesting career as an Articling Clerk with Christianson, Simonton in Calgary (1953-60) followed by positions as Secretary Treasurer with Okalta Oils Ltd., Lobitos Oilfields (1960-64), Partner of Mack Stitt and Irwin (1964-66), Controller of Murphy Oil Company (1966-70), co-owner of Stagewest Dinner Theater (1980's), and Chief Financial Officer with Fenerty and Company (1970-81). From 1981- 2016, Ian was self-employed as a trusted professional Chartered Accountant and financial adviser for many friends, colleagues and clients. In particular Ian had a long business association with his good friend- Lawrie Duff.
Ian was a dedicated volunteer and a true Calgarian; which is best demonstrated by his many years of long service to The Calgary Stampede of which he was an Honorary Life Director. Ian was also a Member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Alberta, the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants, The Glencoe Club, the Danish Canadian Club, The 400 Club (honorary Treasurer) and the Native Calgarian Society. He was often seen holding court at the weekly meetings of the East End Petroleum Club with his good friends at the St Louis Hotel.
Ian, while a man of few words, will be remembered with a smile by all of his friends, family and colleagues for his twinkling blue eyes, quick dry wit, welcoming manner, sense of fairness, helpfulness, dedication, and attention to detail. His family will remember sharing: long summer days in Osoyoos on family holidays, Canada Day floats on the Bow River, fishing, badminton at the Glencoe and birdwatching in nature which he loved. More often than not there was a Molson product close-by.
At Ian's request there will be no funeral service and in lieu of flowers please consider a donation to a charity of your choice.
From: Robert (Bob) M Sumner
Relation: Family friend
Hi Irwin family. I'm so sorry for your loss. Ian was a great man and always made me smile or laugh. He had the special gift of making you feel good about yourself with a wink or a smile and sometimes a greatly timed curse word. I have many great memories of Ian and the world is a poorer place without him. I hope you all find some peace and please know I was thinking of you all. Bob Sumner jr.
From: Steve and Rene Edwards
Relation: Acquainted through the Stampede
Shirley and family, please accept our sincere condolences. Ian was a true gentleman whose kind nature and quick wit we always appreciated.

If you are thinking of moving to Reedsford or just want to know a what the area is like, the statistics on this page should give you a good introduction. They cover a range of socio-economic factors so you can compare Reedsford to figures for Northumberland and nationally. These statistics can tell you if Reedsford is an economically deprived area and how hard it might be to get a job.
These figures for Country of Birth for the residents of Reedsford are from the UK Census of 2011. Since Reedsford has a higher level of residents born in the UK than the national average and a lower rate of residents either born in other EU countries or outside the EU, it does not have a significant immigrant population.
The respondents of the 2011 Census were asked to rate their health. These are the results for Reedsford. The percentage of residents in Reedsford rating their health as 'very good' is less than the national average. Also the percentage of residents in Reedsford rating their health as 'very bad' is more than the national average, suggesting that the health of the residents of Reedsford is generally worse than in the average person in England.
These statistics are for the highest level education obtained by the residents of Reedsford and are from the UK Census of 2011. Reedsford has a high level of residents with either no qualifications or qualifications equal to 1 or more GCSE at grade D or below, than the national average.
The population of Reedsford as a whole, is older than the national average. The population of Reedsford is also older than the average, making Reedsford a older persons location.
These figures on the claiming of benefits in Reedsford come from the Department for Work & Pensions and are dated . They can often be a good indicator of the prosperity of the town and possible indicator of how hard it would be to get employment in the area. The rate of unemployment in Reedsford is both higher than the average for and higher than the national average, suggesting that finding a job in this area maybe hard.
Do you live in Reedsford? Let us know what you think in the comments below.

Q: Google Maps Default Icons I am trying to get the current default Google Maps Icons.

This is what I had before suppressing the default markers:

Later in my program I will be adding waypoints so I would like to set markers like the ones above with the letter A, B, C, etc. with a different color, (like marker "A", which is green).

google maps v3 standard icon/shadow names (equiv. of G_DEFAULT_ICON in v2)
The markers these websites tell you to use, do not look the same as the current markers. I am wondering if there is a way to call the current "green marker a" just like in the fusion tables:

If so, how? Thanks!

Why go to a coach?
The only real way to reach your potential as a snooker player is to dedicate time to practise both on your own in the club and in match play situations.
Coaching gives a player focus and dedicated time analysing which aspects of technique need work.
This informs a player's practise and so helps more rapid improvement and consistency to take place.
Golf coaching is common place – every golf club has a professional coach and many many golfers seek their advice every day. It is true, however, that although snooker coaching has been around for many years; very few snooker players have taken the time to be assessed and advised how to improve their technique. I feel this is a shame and it is my personal goal to provide a professional service to all aspiring players through my coaching.
Snooker players are sometimes reluctant to ask for help and I truly believe that this mind set should be changed.
I enjoy coaching any players who want to try and improve their game; young or no so young!!
I particularly enjoy working with young people and have been lucky enough to work with youngsters through the YPS, the Paul Hunter Foundation and the Cue Zone into Schools Project.
It is also possible to work with small groups (maximum 3 per session).
I have undertaken an enhanced DBS check and am certified to work with any clients including children and vulnerable adults.
What's so special about your coaching?
This is a great question! People sometimes say "but….you aren't a professional player, why should I listen to you?" I feel this is a little short sighted.
I am not a pro snooker player (nor will I ever be one) but my skills are what you NEED from a coach.
I am an expert in the delivery of informative and well-structured sessions – you don't need me to show you how good I am – I would see this as a waste of valuable session time! My sessions are 100% 'client centred'; always working on what you NEED from me; nothing else is acceptable.
My years in the teaching profession have helped me to develop an approachable, friendly, professional style which is built on encouraging my clients. I communicate concepts clearly and always put my clients at ease (I know it can be a bit nerve-racking having any sort of coaching – especially for adults!).
Analysis – time dedicated to watching the client at the table and making general observations. This may take up quite a bit of the first session although may be slightly less in subsequent sessions.
Discussion – establishing a rapport with the client. This helps me to find out about their needs/thoughts and helps the client to relax and feel comfortable.
Practise – ensuring that the concepts discussed are embedded in routines and match scenarios.
Review – Including setting objectives for home practise/next session.
It is important to emphasise that practise in between coaching sessions is very important in order to embed the concepts/techniques discussed.
Just like any other sort of coaching, people have different needs.
For complete beginners or those who have only recently started playing, I suggest regular sessions in order to set you off with a solid knowledge of technique required.
For more advanced players, after an initial assessment and discussion about your personal goals, a programme can be drawn up to help you get the most out of your game.
I also offer block bookings of up to 10 sessions which can be ideal for gifts for birthdays/Christmas for friends and family who love the game and want to improve.
I coach at the Elite Snooker Centre in Great Harwood. I am happy to travel to your own club if that is more convenient although it is your responsibility to book and pay for the table time.

The European Commission's Redfinch research project, led by the LETI research institute (Grenoble, France), has created a low-cost photo-acoustic sensor for gas detection and analysis.
The centimeter-sized sensors are based on mid-infrared photonic millimeter-sized integrated circuits in which discrete components are replaced by on-chip equivalents. This makes them easier to use and reduces cost by a factor of ten.
The sensors consume less than 10W in continuous operation. They can be operated in a slow pulse-burst mode for infrastructure monitoring and when leaks are detected, the pulse frequency of the sensor automatically increases. This keeps average power consumption low so the sensors can be battery-operated or powered by an ambient energy harvester, or solar cell.
The sensors are intended for applications in process gas analysis in refineries, gas leak detection in petrochemical plants and pipelines, and protein analysis in liquids for the dairy industry.
"The big picture is that the miniaturization of photo-acoustic spectroscopy based on quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) is entering the stage of mass production," said instrumentation engineer Jean-Guillaume Coutard, an instrumentation engineer at Leti, who coordinated the project. "To develop these chemical sensors, the Redfinch consortium overcame the challenge of implementing their capabilities in the important mid-infrared region, where many important chemical and biological species have strong absorption fingerprints."
"This allows both the detection and concentration measurement of a wide range of gases, liquids and biomolecules," Coutard said.
The Redfinch consortium members include: Cork Institute of Technology, Université de Montpellier, Technische Universität Vienna, mirSense SA, Argotech as, Fraunhofer IPM and Endress+Hauser.

Photo Gallery: Student Exhibition Treasured Cloth: Women's Art of Polynesia
In the spring of 2019, fourteen Art History undergraduates in the Museum Object class curated Treasured Cloth: Women's Art of Polynesia, an exhibition exploring the art, history, and culture of Polynesian textiles created by Samoan and Tongan women. This compelling exhibition in the WJB Gallery featured tapa cloth and other woven objects from the collections of the FSU Museum of Fine Arts and The Textile and the Apparel Historic Costume Collection in the Jim Moran School of Entrepreneurship.
The Museum Object course, taught in 2018–19 by Associate Professor Kristin Dowell, is the culmination of the Art History Museum Studies minor which examines the history, philosophy, practice, and implications of acquiring, researching, and displaying objects. In this capstone course, undergraduates gain invaluable experience in the process of promoting, designing, and installing an exhibition from start to finish. The spring exhibition was the first-ever public display of these Polynesian works in FSU collections.
Barkcloth, a thousand-year-old tradition in the South Pacific, holds a culturally significant place in Samoan and Tongan society, where women express creative and artistic skill in processing and decorating these works by hand. Featured highlights of the exhibition are two large-scale barkcloths from Samoa and Tonga. The Tongan piece (ngatu) was donated to the Museum of Fine Arts by the family of the late Jehanne Teilhet-Fisk, a professor of Art History at FSU who specialized in the arts of Oceania, Africa, and Native North America. Dr. Teilhet-Fisk collected the ngatu in the 1970s while conducting field research in Tonga, and displayed it on the wall of her office in the Fine Arts Building for many years. Like Dr. Dowell, Dr. Teilhet-Fisk worked with her students to curate exhibitions of Indigenous art.

I lost my External Hard Drive on day 238 (25 August 2008) and I spent all night to get 1TB worth of RAW files off it.
I finally gave up and bought a new 1TB drive but it was another 24 to 48 hours before I could transfer all my RAW files across from various backup media and rebuild my Lightroom Catalog.
I connected DPP to my CF Card in order to pull off this sunset photographed at the Carnival.
It is the Grand Union Canal as it passes through Ladbroke Grove in West London.
"The Grand Union Canal in England is part of the British canal system. Its main line connects London and Birmingham, stretching for 220 km (137 miles) with 166 locks. It has arms to places including Leicester, Slough, Aylesbury, Wendover and Northampton."
Pictures taken of the Grand Union Canal on the weekend of January 10 / 11 during the great freeze.
The canal paths were too slippy for me to get too close so I have used the zoom here.
I also learnt that the LX3's battery can't cope with the cold when it died midway during the shoot.
Twilight image of the Grand Union Canal as it flows through Ladbroke Grove in West London.
According to WikiPedia: "The Grand Union Canal in England is part of the British canal system. Its main line connects the two largest cities in England, London and Birmingham and stretches for 220 km (137 miles) and has 166 locks."
It was formed between 1929 and 1932 by amalgamating many old canals which were built between 1857 and 1932.


Through life, (living) here in this body, in this lifetime on Mother Earth, is all about experiencing thoughts, feelings, hearing, seeing, emotions and most of all listening to our inner being, connecting with our Soul/Spirit.
Here we are, on this beautiful blue planet, spinning round and round and taking us out into larger circles with the cycles of the moon, the sun and other planets. We have no control whatsoever about that, and yet we exist here in the intelligence of what can sometimes look and feel like chaos, yet everything is in synchronicity.
We all enter this life on different vibrations and that vibrational level has to do with experiences from past lives, also what has be bought through from the ancestral lineage, experiences in the womb from the world around us and our childhood experiences and lifetime experiences. Hence we attract different situations in our life. We may have thought's, "Why does this keep happening to me?" Or "I don't understand why that person could be like that," And many other thoughts and feelings that keep running through our mind.
This is a 3rd Dimensional and also a 4th Dimensional planet. 4th Dimension is time, meaning it takes time for me to walk from one room to the other, not the time of a human clock. In this dimension we experience, challenges and support, sadness and happiness, joy and sorrow, hot and cold, day and night and the list goes on. This all makes the The Whole, the Tao as it is called in the Chinese philosophy. Everything is part of the Whole, even the things we don't like.
Many people tend to put on 'Rose coloured glasses' so most people have lost the art of using their natural born intuition, and keep staying in situations or not empowering themselves enough to know that each individual has the power to change the way they feel. When we stay stuck in any situation in life, be it, relationships, career or finances another more denser energy can enter our ethereal body which may then cause a person to get stuck in life.
Many people want to change the other person in their life, but rarely does that work, as the only person that needs to change is the one that is asking the other to change. In life, some people become locked into, what is called 'The Karpman Triangle,' meaning the Victim, (poor me) the Rescuer (let me help you) and or the Persecutor, ( it's all your fault). When a person steps out of that unrewarding triangle and starts observing and accepting that person for who they are, or moving away from dysfunctional relationships and start taking responsibility for themselves, transformation begins.
If you are wanting to be in a relationship and/or are always attracting a person that is not committing, or is abusive in anyway, and you keep staying in it because you feel that's all there is, or they'll change, that's because your whole being is in a vibration that accepts that behaviour. This is an the unseen energy, that is vibrating within you and around you.
energy, running at a certain vibration level.
If that vibration is sluggish or low because of situations that have happened to you then you will surely attract others that are on that same vibration, therefore you kind of get caught in a cycle, very much like the mouse in a wheel and not been able to get out of it. Once you recognise this re-occurring pattern, then you can start shifting it. This is when a professional can support you, it can be with a Psychic Reading that helps implement change, healing's like Kinesiology, Hypnotherapy, going to a very good Shaman, Kinetic Healer or any other type of healing that is right for you, including the path of orthodox medicine or counselling, if necessary.
This is a process, so the more you give yourself permission to take the time to look within and see the pattern's that are causing you to attract the same scenario's in your life, the sooner you can start recognising this and begin the healing process the sooner you will be in a place of Empowerment.
This way your Spirit, your mind and your body are in balance and begin to work together, attracting better relationships and situations.
In your lifetime you will feel and know sadness, joy, happiness, anger, laughter, peace etc, this is part of experiencing life. Remember this, nothing stays the same, our infinite being is eternal, but our experiences here on this earth is forever changing and/or evolving. If anyone says they are positive all the time, they are not, that is a fantasy and an impossible task. When we have expectations on ourself and/or others, we are setting ourselves up to be let down.
It's about observing our emotions, our feelings and not getting stuck there, but if you stay in that energy too long that is when you need to seek help. Acceptance is the key to everything, accepting that this is the way it is for now and this too will change, just like the seasons, nothing remains the same. If you don't accept a situation or a behaviour, it is time to take steps to move away from that vibrational energy that is no longer serving you, then your vibrations and your life begins to shift.
The more we accept all of our emotions, then we will feel more balanced, more whole, than we've felt in the past and this opens the door to attract new situations that are what we are desiring and deserving in our life.
I look forward to hearing from you and supporting you on your life journey.
Gwennie will support you in offering clarity in situations that are causing anxiety and/or stress, so you can have a new perspective on life's challenges and move into a more loving and joyful direction.


A mSouth Bancorporation is located in the Heart of Dixie, but investors haven't been singing its tune.
The stock of the Birmingham, AL-based bank had been heading south since last summer, when it bought First American Corp. for $6.3 billion in stock. The First American acquisition more than doubled AmSouth's assets, to $43 billion. It also added 339 branches, giving AmSouth a total of 600 branches in nine southeastern states.
But investors were skeptical of the bank's ability to successfully integrate First American, largely because of other troubled high-profile bank mergers. And fears about higher interest rates didn't help, either (see Weekday Trader, "Bulls Cry AmSouth Will Rise Again ," October 6). AmSouth stock took a hit, along with the rest of the financial sector, sinking to a 52-week low of 12 ¾ in March.
But with the First American merger now complete, some analysts believe the stock is on the comeback trail.
First of all, AmSouth is expected to get substantial cost savings from the acquisition: some $100 million this year and $133 million annually for the next two years, says List Underwood, AmSouth's director of investor relations.
And like many banks, AmSouth is shedding noncore businesses, exiting the third-party mortgage services business and outsourcing its merchant card processing. It also sold five branch offices in Arkansas, outside its main service area.
It's also trying to double the lucrative private-banking assets under management, through an employee incentive plan and by expanding clients' choice of investment vehicles in areas such as asset management and trust services.
Most immediately, chief financial officer Sloan Gibson, a respected executive who oversaw the merger, is now back as CFO. Under his reign, AmSouth beat earnings expectations in 17 out of 18 quarters.
Tom Finucane, who runs the John Hancock Regional Bank Fund, agrees that Gibson's return is a plus. "His style is to manage the balance sheet more effectively, and he is more proactive on securitizations," says Finucane.
Meanwhile, despite rising rates and preoccupation with the merger, the bank achieved a 21% return on equity in the first quarter, in line with its goals. And earnings per share grew by 11.4% over 1999's first quarter.
Revenues (about $2.5 billion last year) are expected to rise by 3-5% this year. The bank hopes to grow earnings by 12-15% annually over the next three years by focusing on increased sales and balance sheet management, Underwood notes. But none of this prospective good news appears to be in the stock price.
Late Monday afternoon, the shares traded at 17 5/16, roughly ten times the $1.75 per share analysts expect the company to earn in 2000, according to First Call. That's a discount to the stock's estimated 14% earnings growth in 2000 and 2001 and to its projected 11% long-term annual earnings growth.
"AmSouth is guilty until proven innocent…[CFO Gibson] has to show he can do it," Finucane says. He points out that AmSouth is in growing markets like Georgia and Florida, so it should be able to hit its targets. He expects the stock to trade at 22 by the end of the year.
"When you look at management, they have demonstrated for the last several years that they can execute their own initiatives," says Jacqueline Reeves, an analyst at Putnam, Lovell Securities.
For example, in the early 1990s, AmSouth set out to penetrate the highly competitive Florida market, and it has succeeded. She also says that AmSouth's management has quietly solved some problems at First American, which itself had acquired another bank, Deposit Guaranty National Bank, and was having trouble blending the two cultures.
Reeves expects AmSouth to be changing hands at 14x her 2000 estimate of $1.80 earnings per share within the next 12 months. Her price target for the stock is 30, near its 52-week high.
Not everyone's convinced of the bank's long-term prospects. J.P. Morgan analyst Mike Granger recently downgraded the stock to Market Perform from Buy, because of AmSouth's interest-rate sensitivity.
Another potential bump in the road: $500 million in losses the bank is incurring from longer-duration investments in its fixed-income portfolio. But Hancock's Finucane speculates that Gibson will restructure the portfolio, ultimately reducing the potential loss.
Of course, the belief that interest rates have stopped rising would help all financial stocks. By the time that happens, AmSouth should have its house in order and investors should be ready to reap the benefits.
