Walt Disney World's new ride Star Wars Rise of the Resistance - verdict
PAUL COLE visits a galaxy far, far away - but not a long time ago. This week, to be precise.
It's a classic Star Wars moment. A hologram flickers into life and the heroine appears, pleading for help. We are surely her last hope. But it's not Princess Leia. It's Rey, last of the Jedi. And this is the Rise of the Resistance.
No, it's not the new movie. Nor is it the latest animated TV series. This is a Star Wars adventure with a hero you'll know well. Someone close to home. It's you. Yes, you.
Because you've just joined the cast of a 20-minute adventure alongside Rey, Poe, Finn and evil Kylo Ren. And did I mention the 50 stormtroopers?
Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance is the talk of the galaxy, the new attraction that opens tomorrow on December 5 at Walt Disney World in Orlando.
Fevered anticipation has swirled around the launch of the new ride. And it has all been wide of the mark.
Because this isn't just a ride. It's so much more than that.
It's the next best thing to starring in a movie.
Disney has spent the GDP of a small planet on what will become the signature attraction at Galaxy's Edge, the 14-acre theme park within a theme park.

It is, quite simply, jaw-dropping - the most advanced adventure of its kind, blending holograms, special effects, animatronics and state of the art simulation.
It starts well, then just gets better and better, and bigger and bigger, as it goes along. I was among the first in the world to ride it this week - and it earned an impromptu ovation from my fellow resistance fighters.
We've always known that Disney does pre-rides, simulators, vehicle rides and storylines well, with impeccable attention to detail. This time they do it all in one.
The First Order's kitchen sink must be in there somewhere.
It starts with a briefing from hologram Rey, animatronic BB8 and filmed fighter pilot Poe, their voices specially recorded by the stars of the final franchise trilogy.
At all costs you must keep the location of the rebels' Bakura base secret or it's curtains for the resistance.
PAUL COLE tries out Walt Disney World's new ride Star Wars Rise of the Resistance
You're rushed from there to a waiting shuttle piloted by one of Admiral Ackbar's fishy friends. But as you leave the planet of Batuu, way out on the galaxy's edge, things start to unravel fast.
Well, this is Star Wars, after all. You have a bad feeling about this, just as the heroes of the series have had ever since the very first Episode IV: A New Hope back in 1977.
Ambushed by two First Order Star Destroyers, your ship is inexorably drawn in by a tractor beam. There is no escape. So far, so good. A cut above most simulators.
What happens next will take your breath away.
The shuttle doors open and live actor First Order forces swarm in, guiding you out into a cavernous hangar, seemingly cut from solid rock, and filled with those 50 animatronic Stormtroopers.
You're taken from there to an interrogation cell - again by live actors who do not drop their stern-faced act for a single second. Once behind bars, you're taunted by Kylo Ren and General Hux. Things look bleak.
Les Villages Nature Paris: The family resort just minutes from Disneyland Paris offering a back-to-nature experience
Until, that is, a remarkable rescue. Just how, I'm not saying because it will spoil the surprise, one of many OMG moments that follow once you clamber into your escape pod.
Using clever trackless trickery with lessons learned from Disneyland Paris' Ratatouille ride (a sister of which will open in Orlando next year), the pod runs you into the heart of a battle with plasma-blasting Stormtroopers.
Kylo Ren reappears several times - once cutting through the roof above your very head with his red crystal lightsaber - and you'll spot Finn and others in animatronic form worthy of the Terminator T2000 series.
You dodge giant life-sized AT-ATs, plasma cannons and failing systems as the Star Destroyer succumbs to an onslaught by the Rebel Alliance, eventually making a final, shocking, exit that comes almost without warning.
(I'm not going to spoil the surprise there either. Suffice it to say it's a down to earth affair).
Walt Disney World's new ride Star Wars Rise of the Resistance
We're told that more than five million lines of code were written to choreograph the carefully managed chaos. That's impressive but by the by.
What matters is the sheer exhilaration you feel at the end of your adventure. This is every kids' Star Wars dream come true. You'll want to ride again. Straight away. Then again and again. And each time you'll spot something you missed before.
But then that's true of the whole Galaxy's Edge land, painstakingly crafted to keep every geek in the universe in seventh heaven.
It feels grittily authentic, rundown and rusty, this Black Spire outpost on Batuu, teeming with costumed characters, pod racer workshops, traders and scoundrels.
At the heart of the piece is the Millennium Falcon, recently landed by Chewbacca, who you might bump into as you roam the alleyways. Watch out for Kylo Ren and his Stormtrooper guards, too. They have a habit of singling the unwary out for special attention.
You can fly the Falcon, too, on the Smugglers Run ride, a sizzling simulator that places you in a crew of six to pilot your way through a dogfight in space, calling on you to work together as a team.
At Savi's Workshop, you can build your own custom lightsaber in another compelling piece of interactive theatre soundtracked specially by John Williams.
These aren't plastic toys, but hefty metal models complete with glowing glass tube. They carry a hefty price tag, too, but they're serious collector's items if you want to splash out for a special birthday treat.
What it's really like to go on a Disney Cruise
You can dine in Oga's Cantina, a watering hole the young Han Solo would have appreciated; you can make your own droid; you can buy blue - and green - milk, just like in the movies. Attention to detail is everything,
That's right down to the humble litter bins, carefully crafted to look old and rusty when, in fact, they're almost brand new. And overhead, there's the constant stereo swoosh of passing ships.
"Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance is the most ambitious, immersive, advanced, action-packed attraction we've ever created. We threw out the rulebook to deliver experiential storytelling on a massive, cinematic scale," says Bob Chapek, chairman of Disney Parks, Experiences and Products.
"It sets a new standard for what a theme park experience can be."

It's set to get even better, Chapek announced during a presentation at the resort's Epcot on Tuesday night. Coming in 2021 is Star Wars Galactic Star Cruiser, in which guests can stay two nights amid perfect sets and characters.
Every window will have a view - of deep space. There'll be lightsaber training for adults and children, plus the chance to help navigate on the bridge.
But, of course, it being Star Wars, there'll be surprises along the way. You may well find yourself in the middle of another space battle. In fact, I think it's a dead cert.
Like Rise of the Resistance, the force is strong in this one.

Krzysztof Piatek is delighted to have sealed a transfer to the club he supported as a boy in AC Milan and hopes to help them return to the Champions League.
After arriving at Genoa last summer for €4m from Polish club Cracovia, Piatek's instant impact in the Serie A caught everyone by surprise with the Pole scoring 13 times in 19 games.
This leaves Piatek just one goal shy of equalling the league's highest scorer and five-time Ballon d'Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo.
Now, upon Gonzalo Higuain ending his loan spell early to complete a move to Chelsea from Juventus on Wednesday, Milan have signed a new exciting young striker in Piatek for a reported fee of €35m.
In his first press conference as a Milan player, the 23-year-old revealed his delight at sealing a dream move to the Rossoneri.
"It's a pleasure to be here at AC Milan, I am a striker and I want to score in every game. I want to work hard and show my qualities," said Piatek on the club website.
"I was a Rossoneri fan as a kid, it was my dream to play here and to be working with such legends as Leonardo and Paolo Maldini is a true pleasure. I have always admired Maldini, it's a great honour to be here with him. I didn't think this would happen".
Gennaro Gattuso's side finds themselves fourth in the Serie A table and, crucially, in the final Champions League qualification spot.
The seven-time winners haven't been in Europe's biggest club competition since 2014 and only hold a one-point advantage over fifth-placed AS Roma with Sampdoria a further three points back in eighth.
"I have always believed in myself and wanted to show I could do well in Serie A when I first arrived at Genoa," said Piatek. "As a striker scoring is important for me.
"My life hasn't changed, I have always been the same guy. I was born ready and I will do everything I can to help AC Milan get back into the Champions League, I want to play in this competition. I will always fight and give my all on the pitch".
Piatek could make his Milan debut at the San Siro on Saturday, where they will take on second-placed Napoli in the Serie A with kick-off set for 20:30 (CET).


We like this route from Mesa Verde NP to Hwy I-40. Go south on NM Hwy 666 to Shiprock, then east on Hwy 64 a short ways to Farmington. Then south down Hwy 371 for the nice drive thru Bisti De-Na-Zin where you can see hoodoos along the roadside, to Hwy I-40. But there are a couple of great stops that you should make before leaving Four Corners and New Mexico -- Chaco Canyon and Bisti/De-Na-Zin Wilderness.
A highly acclaimed park, a wonderful park and it is a World Hertage Site along with nearby Mesa Verde NP (see page 4) and Grand Canyon NP. BUT the nearest lodging is about 50 miles away in Bloomfield, east of Farmington (there is a no-frills, no-hookup campground in the park for campers); it takes a couple of days to see the park; and the last 16 of the 50 miles is washboard dirt road. Video clip -- even with air ride on our coach the washboard road is real obvious and made more obvious by Jan. Much easier with lighter cars and pickups as they whizzed by our heavy rig.
Jan and I tried entering the park from the south on Route 9 but, "Unless you are a local Indian and know all the rough dirt trails, you won't get there," sez the Sheriff of Crownpoint as we quarried him about the roads. We went in from the north.
On leaving the Chaco Canyon, crossover west to Hwy 371 and there are couple of short cuts. We like CR 7500, an interesting dirt road that leads down the back side of Bisti to Hwy 371, see map. Ask locals for current dirt road conditions. The other short cut is the first paved road going west and is farther north. Since you will be seeing the Mother of all Anasazi Pueblos, you can pass on Aztec Ruin NM.
Not shown on neither Four Corners nor the New Mexico maps is Bisti De-Na-Zin. It is off NM Hwy 371 and is just northwest of Chaco Canyon. It is one of those wonderful and esoteric jewels I found while surfing the net. I give it a gold star and it is a short visit. It is on BLM land where camping is free (usually but not always).
Going into Bisti to see the hoodoos, the road into the area is shaped like the letter "L." See map. It is 8 mile north of the intersection with CR 7500, (or if you are driving south on Hwy 371 from Farmington, it's about 36 miles) watch carefully for small signs. Turn east on CR 7297 and continue about 1.5 mile to a "T." Turn left, north, on the shorter leg of the "L" and go up the road for about 0.5 mile, past the parking area on the right bordered by a fence. Just after the parking lot and before the hill, look for a trail on the left and then find any place to park. Then grab your camera and stroll around hoodoodom.
The existing trail where we parked has lots and lots of tire tracks (hoodoodat?) so I am sure it is OK to park there. There are no rangers about, no visitor center to ask hoodoowhatwhere, and no signage.
When you leave the Bisti, head south to Hwy I-40 and to the end a of a marvelous journey into the past but it is the beginning of another.
The summer weather from Petrified Forest to Monument Valley is very similar. At 6000+ ft elevation, it is a little too warm for us coastal Southern Californians. The average tempurature is 6 degrees cooler in Mesa Verde at higher altitude. But getting there is another matter -- Phoenix and Yuma are well over 100°. Remember these are averages tempuratures and that half the days are over the average. It is not my idea of fun in June, July or August, driving thru El Centro and Phoenix.
Some Views of the Bisti.
Area is noted for dinosaur fossils. If you are fortunate, you may find one!
Wild aborigine women are very friendly -- even took us home!

⬅ Things They Never Tell You – Part...
A Leadership Formula ➡
The Blindness of Showing Up
by Rene Rivera
Courtesy NBC Studios. All Rights Reserved.
Recently, I began watching a new Sitcom called Growing Up Fisher. The show is told from the view of a middle school boy whose father happens to be blind. You find yourself rooting for the Father as he struggles to manage a law firm, a recent divorce, two children, and a new seeing eye dog named Elvis. Sounds bleak but it isn't for many reasons. The show is worth watching. It is rare to find a kind-hearted show on the tube these days.
The show reminded me of a father who attended every one of his son's Little League baseball games. He never missed one game during that season. Not a big deal eh? What made it unique is that the Father is blind.
Yes. He couldn't drive to the game or gripe about traffic or complain about parking too far from the field. He was blind! He couldn't watch his son play. But he was present and in attendance supporting his son every game.
Walter would sit in the stands with his walking stick and watch his son play baseball. (How he got there…I haven't a clue.) He may have been physically blind but he wasn't blind to the needs of his child and the importance of showing up.
What blinds you to the needs of your family? What keeps you from showing up?

Gear Test
On Friday October 1st and Saturday October 2nd the Freeride world championship took place in Oetz. Michele Ramazza 2nd place!
For the fourth consecutive time the adidas Sickline Extreme Kayak World Championship took place in Austria's beautiful Ötztal valley. 150 of the world's best whitewater kayakers from twenty-six different countries had travelled to the Tyrol region in order to compete for world championship honours on the legendary Wellerbrücke rapids, one of the most difficult whitewater sections on the planet.
In contrast to the previous year, the Superfinal of the 2010 adidas Sickline Worlds wasn't as tight, but still full of thrill and emotion. 22-year old Sam Sutton from New Zealand claimed the title with a comfortable gap of 2.14 seconds to Michele Ramazza from Italy who claimed silver (1:00.99). Third on the podium was Lukas Kalkbrenner from Germany (1:01.13).
With an incredible time of 58.85 seconds, adidas Sickline team athlete Sam Sutton was the only one in the Superfinal of the TOP 15 to break the one-minute-barrier. New Zealand's Mike Dawson and the 2008 adidas Sickline world champion, Thilo Schmitt, also had perfect runs under one minute in the semi final, but couldn't repeat their performance for the last deciding race.
The day had started off with 48 finalists. After two knock-out rounds with head-to-head heats the Superfinal line up of 15 was indeed the best of the best. In a field of this kind, no one could afford to make even the slightest mistake.
First to launch in the Superfinals was "Lucky Loser" Basti Lexa. With a time of 1:08,47 he was the first to sit down in the Softub Whirlpool with Miss Tirol 2009, Christina Keil. His time was only beaten three runs later by "Lucky Loser" Paul Bökelmann from Germany (1:07.73), who himself was banished from the whirlpool only one run later by Italy's Michele Ramazza, who occupied the hot seat until Sam Sutton was able to nail the perfect "Sickline". Ramazza crossed the finish line with a new best time of 1:00.99 and it seemed as if he could hang on to a spot on the podium.
Dejan Kralj, one of the most experienced kayakers and the fastest paddler in the qualification, started right after Ramazza. He had finished twice in 4th place at the adidas Sickline worlds and this year he hoped to finally claim a spot on the podium. Even though Kralj had a solid run, at the last drop he got carried out into the eddy and lost valuable seconds. "It's very difficult to get on the podium, if you do just the slightest mistake like I did today. If I'm lucky and have no injuries next year I hope to be back fighting for gold at the adidas Sickline 2011."
Launching right after the Slovenian was Frenchman Eric Deguil, optimistic to snatch the golden champion's belt. With a time of 1:06.79 his first reaction was "I'm happy with my run, I think I did a good job especially at the first part – but in the end my time just wasn't good enough. Maybe it will be better next year."
Top contender Sam Sutton followed next, looking confident after his fast runs in the previous round. It almost seemed as if he was taking it easy as he was flying downstream with a nice clean approach. "I was extremely lucky with my final run, I told myself that if I could do it without making any mistakes it would probably be good enough for the podium; I relaxed and finally had a smooth and nearly perfect ride so I couldn't ask for more." As he jumped into the hot tub with Miss Tirol 2009 Christina Keil, enjoying his Red Bull he said: "It feels very good to be here in the hot tub with Miss Tirol, as well as finally being able not to do mistakes on every run. I realized that I had been very fast when I first saw my time, it was probably one of my best runs ever so it felt very sweet."
Despite reaching the final and finishing 12th overall, adidas athlete Gerd Serrasolses from Spain was not happy with his final run. He lost valuable time at the crux of the racecourse, rolling and being dragged along the final drop upside down. "I felt quite some pressure since I wanted to improve my 4th place from semi finals. I had a good line in the beginning, but at the end I screwed up pretty hard and there was nothing I could do."
As one the most constant paddlers of the day finishing 3rd in the semi finals and finals, slalom specialist Lukas Kalkbrenner enjoyed sitting in the hot tub with Sutton and Ramazza celebrating his achievements. "I'm very happy because I didn't expect this result. My goal was just to get into the superfinal and for me it's awesome to sit here in the hot tub with Sam and Michele - it's by far my best whitewater result ever. For sure I'll be back next year, it's such a great event."
Next on the launch pad was hot race favourite Thilo Schmitt. Fully concentrated he could be found making imaginary paddle strokes whilst visualising his run and waiting to start. "I was extremely nervous before my run. It was so hard to wait for my turn watching all the other guys achieving great times. I tried my best, but I screwed up at the champions killer." His finishing time of 1.01.78 was fast, but not fast enough. With 65 hundreds of a second down to Lukas Kalkbrenner he placed fourth.
The drama unfolded when the fastest paddler in the semi final and the hottest favourite of all, Mike Dawson (24) from New Zealand, struggled hard to reach the finish line. Halfway through the course as Dawson entered the turbulent core section he rolled and was dragged down backwards, sideways and upside down for several seconds. Not being able to get back into the current fast enough missing the perfect line again, the light beam caught him at 1:11.39, which put him on 13th place. Clearly disappointed Dawson drifted downstream.
Fellow countryman Sam Sutton on the other hand had every reason to party. With the gold medal around his neck and the highly sought-after championship belt in his hand he said: "It has been an awesome year and of course I am glad to finish the season becoming World Champion. It´s a dream come true; ever since I have been kayaking it has been my main goal."
And runner-up Michele Ramazza concluded: "I already had the bronze in 2008, and this year I claimed silver. For me it is like taking another step, getting closer and closer to the top of the podium. Next year I go for the gold if the "kiwi" lets me. I really like this race because it's physically hard and at the same time it requires good skills. It's also very competitive as you can race against all the best kayakers from all over the world - we really enjoy meeting up like this."

Shock Jock Suspended for Gross Comments About City Council Speaker
Anna Merlan
Filed to: city councilFiled to: city council
curtis sliwa

melissa mark-viverito
weird sexual harassment
Curtis Sliwa, a radio host and all-purpose "personality," has been suspended from his regular commentating gig on New York 1 because he can't stop telling the public about how badly he wants to have sex with New York City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito. He recently described the speaker as "extraordinarily hot."
During a panel discussion on New York 1, Sliwa addressed a not-present Mark-Viverito in the "character" of a Latino man (he's not Latino), telling her, "I'm your papi, right?" The next day, on Curtis and Kuby, the radio show he co-hosts, he went on at length about the imaginary "sexual tension" he believes exists between himself and Mark-Viverito. He also wishes she'd dress foxier. (We're sure she's probably taking notes right this minute, Curtis.)
The New York Daily News now reports that Sliwa has been suspended "indefinitely" from appearing on NY1, with the company telling the paper, "In light of recent remarks made by Curtis Sliwa, we have removed him from the weekly Inside City Hall segment for the foreseeable future. While he has appeared on the network, he is not an employee of NY1."
They're emphasizing he's not an employee because a number of female activists and union leaders had planned a protest today for outside NY1's offices, urging the station to fire him for his "sleazy comments."
Sliwa's response to all this has been... interesting. He didn't address the controversy on his 90-minute radio show with co-host Ron Kuby today, confining himself to thoughts about the "criminals" rioting in Baltimore and supportive comments for Islamophobic activist Pamela Geller, who he called "a very good-looking woman." On the "Curtis and Kuby" Facebook page he also released a statement that says, in part, "all's fair in love and politics" and claiming that he was using "sexually charged language" to encourage men to seek treatment for impotence, a condition he has suffered from due to gunshot wounds and prostate cancer.
Just try not to sexually harass the City Council Speaker anymore, OK, Curtis?

Q: Is there a good rule of thumb for determining if a react component should manage it's own state or not? I'm fairly new to react, and really enjoying it. In creating components, is there a good rule of thumb (or simple generalization) to consider when deciding if a component should manage it's own state or not.
As example (only as example), an input that gets different classes added based on state, like 'hover', or 'not empty'...
Would it be better to create a component that manages those states internally or just handle that wherever I'm rendering an input?
I know this question may be 'primarily opinion based', but I'm hoping to get a general feel for how to think about it.

A: This is a constant internal battle that you'll just decide on down the line and you're right that it's primarily opinion based (meaning no answer will be correct). However, I can share my own experience and the process I take to decide on how to split the logic of my components.
I think of these things:

*

*How will having/not having that piece of logic affect unit tests? If the component would need too much setup to be tested, then I move some logic into it and away from a parent Container component.

*How often will I reuse the component? If it's many many times, then I look at the types of Container components that would render it and, again, if it seems like too much boilerplate is needed, then move the logic.

*Does the value change through its own behavior or based on outside queues? In your example of the hover, the behavior changes due to its own behavior so it feels like the className (a prop of itself) is reacting to the component itself.

*Most importantly, do you benefit from removing the logic and placing it in the Container? If you think that other component could benefit from knowing the hover state of your input field, then you may want to put the logic in the container. Otherwise you're abstracting away too much.

Application state management libraries such as Redux will often suggest to use their libraries as little as possible and instead rely on internal state of the component. I mention this because as you figure out where to put your logic, you have to think that about the end goal, which is usually to create a web application, with multiple components working together. Abstract too little and you end up creating non-reusable components. Abstract too much and you have tons of boilerplate and configuration lying around that could be trimmed by using internal state.

A: Zeke has some absolutely great points. I'd just like to add my own guideline, which is:

*

*If the behavior of the component is the same, no matter where it's used, and is not tied to the behavior of the app/environment at large, then state should be internal

*otherwise, manage state elsewhere and pass in props

Kim Jong-un's sister was removed from the list of the executive committee of the governing Workers' Party following the recent elections, the Daily Mail reported. According to the newspaper, Kim Yo-jong's name was absent from the list of members of the Politburo following the recent party elections, which raises questions about her status.
All of the CIA's documents on UFOs have been made available for download, said The Black Vault website, which claims to be the largest privately run archive of declassified documents and government secrets. According to John Greenewald Jr., the founder of The Black Vault, he obtained the information via the Freedom of Information Act, a federal law requiring the government to disclose unreleased information and documents upon request. Some of the documents date all the way back to the 1980s.
From January 1, the European Union banned exports of non-recyclable plastic waste to countries outside the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. The UK, which left the EU's single market and customs union on December 31, will continue the practice, despite Tory commitments that post-Brexit regulations would not undermine environmental standards, The Guardian reported on Tuesday.
Adel Abdel Bary, a senior member of the London cell of the Egyptian Islamic Jihad, was sentenced to 25 years for his involvement in the 1998 terror attacks on the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. Osama bin Laden's aide is now living in a $1 million mansion in the British capital London with his wife and six children, The Sun reported. According to the newspaper, Adel Abdel Bary, who was released from prison in December, three weeks earlier than necessary because he was too overweight. Scotland Yard wants a notification against him that would allow law enforcement to monitor details of his bank accounts, phone calls, and travel plans. However, a source told The Sun that the convicted terrorist is fighting the move and has hired human rights lawyers.
Moscow does not rule out that Joe Biden may tweak outgoing President Donald Trump's decision to withdraw troops from Afghanistan. Kabulov, who also heads the Russian Foreign Ministry's Second Asian Department, expressed the belief that Biden would only modify some parameters related to the withdrawal of US forces.
Algeria's Ministry for Pharmaceuticals Industry on Sunday registered the Russia-developed coronavirus vaccine Sputnik V. A press release circulated by the ministry said the Ministry's National Agency for Pharmaceuticals granted authorization for administering Sputnik V under an executive decree for urgent measures to get a vaccine campaign underway in the country. This makes Algeria the first nation on the African continent to register the vaccine.
Facebook announces it will now be removing content containing the phrase 'stop the steal' from Facebook and Instagram.

Phnom Penh's beverage imports from Korea have jumped more than eightfold in recent years, rising from $4.8 million in 2016 to $41.1 million in 2019, according to the state-run Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency (KOTRA). Beverages have become South Korea's largest export to Cambodia since 2018.
Moscow has revealed a plan to spend $2.4 million on a giant database containing information about every single city resident, including passport numbers, insurance policies, salaries, car registrations – and even their pets. It will also include work and tax details, school grades, and data from their 'Troika' care – Moscow's unified transport payment system, used on the metro, busses and trains. The new proposal will undoubtedly increase fears about ever-growing surveillance in the Russian capital, where the number of facial recognition cameras has recently been increased.
While many social media users are abandoning established services such as Facebook and Twitter, or being blocked from the platforms, a Russian-made messaging service has risen to become one of America's most popular apps. On Monday, UK newspaper The Daily Telegraph reported that Telegram had taken second place in the US downloads chart, according to exclusive data from the Sensor Tower market research agency. Between Wednesday and Sunday last week, more than half a million Americans downloaded the app, almost three times as many as the week before. It boasts of advanced security options, such as "self-destructing messages" for those "looking for extra privacy."
In the first week of January, Telegram surpassed 500 million monthly active users. After that it kept growing: 25 million new users joined Telegram in the last 72 hours alone. People no longer want to exchange their privacy for free services. They no longer want to be held hostage by tech monopolies that seem to think they can get away with anything as long as their apps have a critical mass of users. With half a billion active users and accelerating growth, Telegram has become the largest refuge for those seeking a communication platform committed to privacy and security. Facebook has an entire department devoted to figuring out why Telegram is so popular. Imagine dozens of employees working on just that full-time. Millions of people are outraged by the latest change in WhatsApp Terms, which now say users must feed all their private data to Facebook's ad engine. It's no surprise that the flight of users from WhatsApp to Telegram, already ongoing for a few years, has accelerated. At about 500 million users and growing, Telegram has become a major problem for the Facebook corporation. Unable to compete with Telegram in quality and privacy, Facebook's WhatsApp seems to have switched to covert marketing: Wikipedia editors have recently exposed multiple paid bots adding biased information into the WhatsApp Wikipedia article. Bots spread inaccurate information about Telegram on social media. Here are the 3 myths they are pushing:
Myth 1. "Telegram's code is not open-source". In reality, all Telegram client apps have been open source since 2013. Encryption and API are fully documented and have been reviewed by security experts thousands of times. Moreover, Telegram is the only messaging app in the world that has verifiable builds both for iOS and Android. As for WhatsApp, they intentionally obfuscate their code, making it impossible to verify their encryption and privacy.
Myth 2. "Telegram is Russian". In fact, Telegram has no servers or offices in Russia and was blocked there from 2018 to 2020. Telegram is still blocked in some authoritarian countries such as Iran, while WhatsApp and other "supposedly secure" apps have never had any issue in these places.
Myth 3. "Telegram is not encrypted". Every chat on Telegram has been encrypted since launch. We have Secret Chats that are end-to-end and Cloud Chats that also offer real-time secure and distributed cloud storage [6]. WhatsApp, on the other hand, had zero encryption for a few years, and then adopted an encryption protocol funded by the US Government. Even if we assume that the WhatsApp encryption is solid, it's invalidated via multiple backdoors and reliance on backups.
In 2019 alone, Facebook spent almost 10 billion dollars on marketing (guessing this includes paid bots on Wikipedia and other sites).

Can you imagine a place where there was no conflict, anger, or economical issues? A place where you weren't in debt, struggling for money, and working 60 hours a week? It sounds like a fairy tale, or a dream even. Auroville comes pretty close. In this modernized South Indian city, the citizens live a life of healthy happiness without politics, religion, or money. They trade goods to get what they need, and most of their food comes from the local farms. There are people there from all over the entire world; different nationalities, cultures, and ethnicities. It's a very successful place and is one of the first to receive protection from UNESCO as an international city.

Biography – DESSAULLES, LOUIS-ANTOINE – Volume XII (1891-1900) – Dictionary of Canadian Biography
DESSAULLES, LOUIS-ANTOINE, seigneur, journalist, author, politician, and office holder; b. and baptized 31 Jan. 1818 in Saint-Hyacinthe, Lower Canada, eldest son of Jean Dessaulles*, a seigneur, and Marie-Rosalie Papineau; m. there 4 Feb. 1850 Catherine-Zéphirine Thompson, his third cousin, and they had a daughter, Caroline-Angélina*; d. 4 Aug. 1895 in Paris and was buried two days later in the Pantin cemetery.
In 1825 Louis-Antoine Dessaulles entered the Collège de Saint-Hyacinthe, which had been founded by his godfather, parish priest Antoine Girouard*. He continued his studies at the Petit Séminaire de Montréal from 1829 to 1832. The final part of the classical program, Philosophy, he did at Saint-Hyacinthe from 1832 to 1834, the very place and time in which the philosophical and political views of Hugues-Félicité-Robert de La Mennais were the focus of heated controversy [see Jacques Odelin*].
In the autumn of 1834, "in the midst of political unrest and constitutional struggles," Dessaulles began his legal studies in Montreal. He lived there with his uncle, Louis-Joseph Papineau*, who was like a second father to him. Present at the meetings of the Patriote party's central standing committee for the Montreal area, the young man witnessed the clashes between the Fils de la Liberté and the Doric Club in the autumn of 1837. He assisted Papineau, who, in danger of arrest, disguised himself and left Montreal for Varennes and Saint-Denis on the Richelieu shortly before the outbreak of fighting on 23 Nov. 1837.
At Saint-Hyacinthe, the Patriote leaders included assemblyman Thomas Boutillier*, Philippe-Napoléon Pacaud*, and members of the Papineau family. Mme Dessaulles herself hid the daughter of Wolfred Nelson*, arranged for provisions to reach the camp at Saint-Charles-sur-Richelieu, and sent Louis-Antoine to Saint-Denis to offer the family of Côme-Séraphin Cherrier* shelter in her house. It was on the morning of the battle there that Dessaulles apparently heard Nelson tell Papineau not to take part.
When Papineau fled to the United States after a brief stay in Saint-Hyacinthe, the Dessaulles continued to stand by his family. Louis-Antoine accompanied Mme Papineau (Julie Bruneau) when she left New York in July 1839 to join her husband in exile in Paris. Dessaulles stayed in Europe until November, eagerly observing events in Paris and London, and was commended to everyone by Papineau as "my alter ego." There he undoubtedly discovered not only a new way of life but also a new focus. La Mennais's work, Affaires de Rome, published in Paris in 1837, confirmed Dessaulles in a thenceforth unshakeable determination to denounce the political interference and the temporal interests of the Roman Catholic Church.
After various stays in the United States and another trip to Europe (from October 1842 to March 1843), the 25-year-old seigneur was thoroughly awakened to economic realities and became persuaded that he should bring "industry" to Saint-Hyacinthe. But in the early 1840s income from the seigneury never exceeded expenditures and liabilities. Dessaulles borrowed to a worrying extent, sometimes mortgaging the whole seigneury, sometimes using only his seigneurial rights as collateral. In 1845, according to Julie Papineau, he was on the verge of financial ruin and was thinking of selling everything.
In the elections for the Legislative Assembly in the autumn of 1844, Dessaulles ran in Saint-Hyacinthe against Boutillier, the sitting member and a supporter of Louis-Hippolyte La Fontaine*. La Fontaine's group felt that, to preserve ideological alignments, the Reform majority in Lower Canada should not take part in a government dominated by the tory majority of Upper Canada. On the other hand, members such as Denis-Benjamin Viger* and Papineau's brother Denis-Benjamin* agreed to sit on the Executive Council for the sake of the double majority, believing that French Canadians must be represented in the administration. Defeated in the election, Dessaulles unsuccessfully contested the results. In December 1847, at the time that Papineau, having returned from exile, was a candidate for Saint-Maurice, Dessaulles began from Saint-Hyacinthe the first of four phases of his important work on the Montreal newspaper L'Avenir. Until the summer of 1848 Dessaulles – alias Anti-Union, Campagnard, or L.A.D. – called for repeal of the 1841 union of the Canadas and defended the intransigent position Papineau was taking against La Fontaine's policy, which had become one of compromise. He tried to rally support behind Papineau. In the autumn and winter of 1848, during a controversy over Papineau's conduct at Saint-Denis–"running away," or a "departure at the invitation of Nelson" – Dessaulles opposed the interpretation "running away." His articles were reprinted in the pamphlet Papineau et Nelson; blanc et noir . . . et la lumière fut faite (Montréal, 1848). In 1849 L'Avenir published his anticlerical "correspondence" condemning the stance of the church and of its "organs," which blatantly favoured the compromise policy of the Reformers, now in power.
At the end of November 1849 Dessaulles was elected mayor of the village of Saint-Hyacinthe, which became a town the following year, and he remained in office until April 1857, enjoying the support of councillors Donald George Morisson, his cousin, and Maurice Laframboise*, his brother-in-law. The town had 3,313 inhabitants at the time of the 1851 census and was prospering from the railway boom; the Longueuil to Saint-Hyacinthe line was opened at the end of 1848 and was later extended to Portland, Maine, and Pointe-Lévy (Lauzon and Lévis).
Dessaulles was a member of the annexationist movement. In 1850 and 1851 he set out his position in L'Avenir and in the pamphlet Six lectures sur l'annexion du Canada aux États-Unis (Montréal, 1851). At the outset he asked, "What country are you from?" Observing his contemporaries' desire for national independence and the progress made toward sovereignty, he took note of the end of British protectionism, which signalled "the hour of separation" and of "the new direction for business." These lectures were in fact a "detailed critique of the monarchical colonial government" compared to the American institutions that he so greatly admired. It was as a French Canadian that Dessaulles (under the pseudonym Anti-Union) had spoken out against maintaining the union of Upper and Lower Canada. But it was as a liberal, concerned about prosperity and individual liberties, that he came out in favour of the annexation of Lower Canada to the United States.
A seigneur although an admirer of the American republic, Dessaulles had to explain his position on the seigneurial question, which he did in L'Avenir in April 1850. He acknowledged the people's right to change institutions, though certain grievances concerning seigneurial tenure seemed to him ill founded He reminded his readers that private property is a matter of natural right and that the minority has rights, and he stressed that the system could only be changed with full compensation to owners.
In January 1852 the Montreal paper Le Pays, financed by Édouard-Raymond Fabre* and founded to defend the cause of the "true democrats in Canada," was launched. Dessaulles joined it for a few months as editor, along with Louis Labrèche-Viger*.
While continuing his duties as mayor and seigneur of Saint-Hyacinthe, and lecturer at the local mechanics' institute and the Institut Canadien, in the autumn of 1854 Dessaulles again ventured into provincial politics, this time as a candidate in Bagot. He was defeated by a narrow margin, 922 votes to 897. In six of the eight parishes in his riding he had won, but in Saint-Hugues and Sainte-Hélène (Sainte-Hélène-de-Bagot) he had come up against the influence of parish priest Louis-Misaël Archambault. Archambault figures in the "Cahier de notes (1852–1874)" that Dessaulles kept on the clergy. It contains, in alphabetical order by name (with dates, places, and sources), two kinds of information: "facts" about instances of clerical influence being used against liberals, and "facts" about the relations of priests with women. Dessaulles would later say, "One can almost always unhesitatingly deduce from rabid political sermons [against the liberals] the dubious morals of their authors."
In the autumn of 1856 Dessaulles was elected to the Legislative Council for the division of Rougemont. It was the first time that councillors had been elected rather than appointed; Dessaulles was the only "democrat" to win one of the 12 seats contested in Lower Canada. He had the support of almost all the voters of Saint-Hyacinthe (both town and parish), three-quarters of those in the riding of Rouville, and two-thirds of those in Iberville. His 1858 pamphlet À messieurs les électeurs de la division de Rougemont was critical of the Conservative ministers, who, after the 48-hour government of liberals George Brown* and Antoine-Aimé Dorion, returned to power within a few days of their resignation by the notorious "double shuffle" – simply changing posts in order to avoid having to go through an election. The independent liberal member from Saint-Hyacinthe, Louis-Victor Sicotte*, also came under fire in the pamphlet.
Toward the end of 1859, Dessaulles, along with Dorion, Lewis Thomas Drummond*, and Thomas D'Arcy McGee*, was on the committee that drew up a manifesto of the parliamentary opposition from Lower Canada. On the constitutional question it proposed that the union of Upper and Lower Canada remain, but within a decentralized federation. In a letter to Brown on 14 Oct. 1859, Luther Hamilton Holton* explained, "Some of our more advanced Rouges . . . fear the ascendancy of retrogressive ideas and especially the effects of clerical domination in Lower Canada if separated from Upper Canada." He gave Dessaulles as his first example – meaning the liberal, anticlerical Dessaulles.
Dessaulles regularly attended the sittings of the Legislative Council, at Toronto and at Quebec, and in seven years he presented no fewer than 177 petitions on behalf of individuals, municipalities, "literary" institutes, and Catholic charities. He was a member of the committee on publications and the library of the legislature, as well as of the committee to inquire into the construction of public buildings in Ottawa.
On 1 March 1861 Dessaulles, who had recently moved to Montreal with his family, took on the editorship of Le Pays, a decision that caused him a number of problems and brought criticism from his political foes. At that time Le Pays was an opposition liberal paper. However, with the formation in May 1862 of the administration headed by John Sandfield Macdonald* and Sicotte, it gradually became more sympathetic to the government and came out openly in its support by the summer of 1863, when Dorion and the ministers appointed by him for Lower Canada replaced Sicotte and his colleagues. Personalities aside, the progressive liberals of Montreal and Le Pays were quite distinct from the moderate liberals and L'Ordre, a Montreal newspaper founded in 1858 which sought to make peace with the clergy for religious and political reasons.
The editor of Le Pays was actively involved with the general elections of 1863 and with the by-elections in Bagot and later in Saint-Hyacinthe, which his brother-in-law Laframboise and his cousin Augustin-Cyrille Papineau respectively contested as candidates. As a result of the electoral struggle in the Saint-Hyacinthe region, where the political and religious debates in public meetings and in the newspapers were particularly acrimonious, Dessaulles was personally taken to task by Cyrille Boucher*, the former editor of L'Ordre, who found fault with his unorthodox 1858 lecture on progress. Louis Taché, a notary from Saint-Hyacinthe, also accused him of having had in his possession, during his term as mayor, a sum of money corresponding to the value of bonds belonging to the municipality. At the end of November 1863, the editor of L'Ordre, Labrèche-Viger, who had been, with Dessaulles, one of the original editors of Le Pays in 1852, condemned the "philosophical dissertations which do little to advance the interests of the liberal party." One month later the Macdonald–Dorion government appointed Dessaulles clerk of the crown and clerk of the peace, offices which obliged him to resign from the Legislative Council and the editorship of Le Pays. Dessaulles at 45, though he had a considerable record of service, had become an embarrassment to the party during its brief time in power.
In 1859 a public announcement had been made of the appraised value of seigneurial rights and properties which was to serve as the basis for compensation agreed upon in 1854 for the commutation of seigneurial tenure. The assets of the Dessaulles seigneury had been evaluated at about $125,000 (since three-fifths of the value of the communal mill still belonged to the heirs of Pierre-Dominique Debartzch*). But the liabilities were also sizeable. It was rumoured that Dessaulles had had difficulty proving that he actually had in hand the $8,000 in property required to qualify for his seat on the Legislative Council.
The truth was that the erstwhile seigneur had failed as a capitalist. He believed he had found with railway construction the opportunity to recover his fortune through the production of timber and lime, as well as through a transport firm; the latter enterprise connected the hill of the parish of Saint-Dominique with the railway station at Britannia Mills, not far from Saint-Hyacinthe, by a "rail road" using wooden rails with metal reinforcements and horse-drawn carriages. But all of these operations had reached a peak around 1854 and then declined, particularly after 1860. Dessaulles, their promoter, lost thousands of dollars. Circumstances may have been partly to blame. It is quite clear, for example, that the locus of benefits to the economy from railway construction moved progressively farther to the east of Saint-Hyacinthe. The ventures certainly provide no evidence of Dessaulles's administrative abilities, but it must be pointed out that his energies were dispersed in an unusually wide variety of activities.
On 1 July 1867, the inaugural day of the confederation to which Dessaulles had been fiercely opposed, a legal order of sale by auction was issued to the owner of the Dessaulles seigneury. The auction was held a few days later and no one was willing to bid more than the $32,025 offered by Robert Jones. One significant detail, at least for Dessaulles, was the fact that the sheriff officiating was none other than Louis Taché. The former seigneur of Saint-Hyacinthe was left with nothing but debts; he owed about $15,000 in 1869 and five times that amount in 1875.
Another of Dessaulles's concerns had been his membership in the Institut Canadien of Montreal. He had become an active member in 1855 but in the spring of 1858, when he was a legislative councillor and still living at Saint-Hyacinthe, he played no prominent role in the decision by the institute's majority to refuse the demand of a minority, who, at the instigation of ecclesiastical authorities, wished to remove the "evil books" and militant Protestant newspapers from the library and reading-room. From 1850 to 1871 he was attracting public attention with 20 lectures on ten or so different topics, including annexation to the United States (1850 and 1851), the condemnation of Galileo (1856), and progress (1858). When the bishop of Montreal wrote seven private letters to the owners of Le Pays suggesting that the paper modify its position on religious questions, Dessaulles, as editor, responded early in 1862 with "Aux détracteurs de l'Institut canadien, grands et petits." From then on he personified the institute's resistance to the clergy in general and to the bishop, Ignace Bourget*, in particular.
Dessaulles was president of the Institut Canadien from May 1862 to May 1863, from May 1865 to May 1866, and from November 1866 to May 1867. In 1863 and 1864 he was the leading member of the committee appointed to "inquire into appropriate ways of smoothing out the difficulties" with Bourget. His was the first signature on the petition to Rome in 1865 from "17 Catholic members of the institute." Late in 1866 at a large reception inaugurating its new building, he gave a long lecture outlining the history of the conflict with the ecclesiastical authorities. Le Courrier de Saint-Hyacinthe attacked both this defence of the institute and its author. In his response Dessaulles suggested that the influence of the priests of the Séminaire de Saint-Hyacinthe was behind the attack, and the superior Joseph-Sabin Raymond* replied. In the course of the first half of 1867, both of them wrote some 20 letters, which they published respectively in Le Journal de Saint-Hyacinthe and Le Pays and in Le Courrier. From discussion of the specific "political" role of the seminary they moved on to the implications. Dessaulles, whom his adversary described as "the head of the school of thought wishing to change the ideas and practices which have so far prevailed," contended that it was the conduct of the clergy themselves which had changed in the last 20 years and that what lay ahead was theocracy.
The papal condemnation of 7 July 1869 was more strictly aimed at the Annuaire of the Institut Canadien for 1868, and Dessaulles's plea for tolerance which was its main feature, than at the institute itself. The year-book was put on the Index, but Bourget interpreted the ban broadly and condemned the institute as well. Before long there was a second private appeal to Rome from four members, including Dessaulles and Gonzalve Doutre*. These events occurred on the eve of the controversy arising from the death of Joseph Guibord*, a member who was refused Catholic burial.
On 29 Dec. 1869 and 11 Jan. 1870 Dessaulles once again lectured at the institute; his topics were Guibord and the Index. He continued his "great ecclesiastical war" until 1875, taking aim at Bourget, the Programme Catholique [see François-Xavier-Anselme Trudel*], and the ultramontane press. His efforts were to no avail. Since there was little popular support for militant resistance to the power of the clergy in society, it was futile for Dessaulles to write that no one had answered the real question – whether a Catholic could belong to an organization owning books on the Index – and it was equally futile for the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council in London to uphold the cause of those defending Guibord's right to burial in a Catholic cemetery.
In desperate financial straits from 1870, Dessaulles could no longer keep his creditors at bay at the height of the economic crisis of 1875. Nor could he continue to resort to what he himself would call a "dishonest" and "shameful" stratagem for prolonging his "intolerable situation" by keeping for his personal use the money collected in the course of his duties. He fled to the United States, his reputation ruined. At sea en route to Europe, he wrote a poignant letter to his wife on 1 Aug. 1875, admitting what he had done and concluding with a prosaic detail: the keys are on the desk. The Conservative and Catholic newspapers were politely ironic about his fate when his commission as clerk was rescinded on 13 Sept. 1875.
The "exile" went first to Belgium, mainly staying in Ghent. He tried to "transplant" North American inventions, and observed knowledgeably the political and religious conflicts of bilingual, biethnic, and bireligious Belgium. Like Sisyphus, he tried each day to re-establish himself financially, often starting from scratch the never-ending impossible task of making his fortune and paying back his creditors.
Dessaulles left Belgium a disappointed man and settled in Paris in February 1878. He still hoped to recover his fortune through some idea or invention. But it was only the money sent to him quite regularly by his son-in-law Frédéric-Ligori Béique* that enabled him to subsist. Life in Paris nevertheless had compensations: courses at the Collège de France, "free" music in the churches. These small pleasures did not save him from having to pawn a suit. Isolated from family and friends, the old man died on 4 Aug. 1895, after 20 years in exile.
At the news of his death, an anonymous writer–possibly Arthur Buies* – who was asked by Le Réveil of Montreal for a "truthful" article on Dessaulles, noted that he was a man of conviction, devoted to a cause for which he had sacrificed everything, but also "the victim of all kinds of pipe dreams" and the representative of "the most progressive and at the same time the most impractical tendencies" of the Liberal party. This seems to be an accurate assessment. In fortune, social influence, or family ties, his was a life that turned out badly. Here was a man, blessed with many advantages and talents, who played for high stakes and lost.

Q: changing values in .vue file of Vue JS project not working I have found a tool called XLSX to JSON on github, which has been made using vuejs/sheetjs. git repo, This tool is available online via an interface - but recently it seems to have broken and I cant download my converted json file.
Therefore my intention was to clone the repo, and change some bits around to fix it (just console json file instead of DL).
I haven't used Vue js before. After looking through the index and the origins of the functions I saw that the whole page seems to be reliant on this app.vue file. However - when editing the values and reloading the webpage - theres no change what so ever!
App.vue:
  <template>

 Drag your xlsx file here.

      <input type='file' id='inputFile' v-on:change="parseXLSX($event.target.files)">

         Download Localalization JSON

 JSON Output

    <xlsx-footer></xlsx-footer>

</template>

main.js:
    'use strict';

var _vue = require('vue');

var _vue2 = _interopRequireDefault(_vue);

var _app = require('./app.vue');

var _app2 = _interopRequireDefault(_app);

function _interopRequireDefault(obj) { return obj && obj.__esModule ? obj : { default: obj }; }

var app = new _vue2.default({
  el: "#app",
  render: function render(h) {
    return h(_app2.default);
  }
});

All I want to do is edit the functions in the app.vue file!
Any help would be great, cheers!

A: Try to modify the package.json file by adding "prod":"webpack" in the "scripts" brackets. Running npm run prod should recreate your bundle.js file after .vue files modification using the webpack.config.js provided.
Also you could use script test using npm run test which launch webpack-dev-server and enable hot reload which is more convinient for dev purpose.

A: When you make change in any vue js file you have run npm run prod and you have to either upload the whole project in the server or upload the public folder in the server

Кристалі́т, або зерно — неогранований монокристал, який під час кристалізації полікристала виростає з окремого зародка і росте до зіткнення з іншими сусідніми кристалітами. Ріст кристлітів відбувається внаслідок приєднання до їхньої поверхні окремих атомів з оточуючого розплаву.

У разі дендритної кристалізації утворюються кристаліти, які називають дендритами.

Загальний опис
Величезна кількість кристалітів нерегулярної форми становлять структуру полікристалів. Їхні розміри у різних полікристалах можуть змінюватися переважно від часток мікрометрів до кількох міліметрів.

Кристаліти чи зерна відрізняються між собою орієнтацією кристалічної ґратки: однотипні площини в сусідніх зернах розорієнтовані на кути від кількох градусів до десятків градусів. Тому на граничних ділянках між сусідніми зернами атоми перебувають у нерівноважних позиціях, утворюючи поверхневі дефекти кристалічної ґратки, які називають великокутовими границями зерен. Границі зерен ефективно блокують рух дислокацій, забезпечуючи тим зміцнення полікристалів. Що дрібніше зерно, то більша сумарна поверхня границь, а отже, інтенсивніше зміцнення. Огрублення зерен спричинює окрихчення полікристалів. Таким чином, зміною розмірів зерен можна ефективно забезпечувати потрібний рівень структурночутливих механічних чи фізичних властивостей.

У межах зерен можуть існувати субзерна, кристалографічна орієнтація в яких відрізняється на величину від часток градуса до кількох градусів. Тому границі між ними називають малокутовими границями.

Полімерний кристаліт
Невеликий кристалічний домен у твердому полімерному тілі.
Може мати нечіткі границі, а частина макромолекул може
простягатись поза ним. Термін не є цілком ідентичним до того, який вживається в класичній кристалографії.

LONDON 'DIGS' 1978
20/10/2018 · by SteveRicketts	· in Travel.	·
Norfolk House, London – sounds grand, doesn't it.
In 1978, for close to three months, it was home to my wife, Marie and I in the second half of our backpacking trip around Britain and Europe.
Our room, in one of the many private hotels in the square, consisted of a double bunk, a tiny gas fireplace and a wardrobe. Not much else. The bathroom and toilet were down the hall.
It cost 28 pounds a week in rent, and I was paid, on average, 35 pounds a week working in factories, at the discretion of a private employment agency. (Thankfully Marie was paid far more in her job as an accounts clerk).
One day it was Black and Decker at Maidenhead, the next, Clairol. There was a stint at Lucozade, Brentford, where THE perk of the job, was drinking as much of the stuff as you wished.
The same rule did not apply at the Gordon's Gin distillery, where I also worked, although my time there was brief, because the full time workers took strike action whenever casual workers arrived. I was on their side really, and we got paid anyway.
Now back to Black and Decker. During my time there, on the assembly line, there were a record number of faulty power tools. No-one told me it was semi-skilled!
At Clairol, I was employed puncturing half full aerosol cans (which could not be sold, and heaven forbid, they should be given to the staff) then letting the contents burst into the atmosphere. What that did for the ozone layer, is anyone's guess.
When one of my co-workers told me I was entitled to a carton of milk a day, because of what I ingested, I asked for a transfer.
So, there I was, working in a warehouse next to Heathrow Airport, when a a Concord flew over, with the resulting supersonic boom. I hit the deck, and when I looked up, the other workers, who knew what was coming, were laughing uproariously.
One of my fellow workers was from Iran. He was a Muslim, but joined the rest of us for drinks at the Kings Heads, Earls Court, although he stuck to soft drink.
He told me could not go back to Iran while the Shah was in power.
I didn't keep in touch with him, and I wonder if he did go back, and, if he is still alive, what he thinks of things in his country now, under the clerics. (The Shah was deposed in 1979).
And I hope my friend is living in better digs than Norfolk House.
.There was great excitement outside Norfolk House one night in 1978, when the BBC filmed part of an episode of the Ronnie Barker/ Richard Beckinsale comedy, 'Going Straight'. Both actors were there for a scene where Barker, just released from prison, was looking for work as a night porter.
TRIVIA: Before World War II Norfolk Square was quite posh and privately owned. Members of the Wedgewood family lived in number 34 Norfolk Square.

DuPage Medical Group was formed in 1999 when three organizations serving the western suburbs of Chicago since the 1960s joined together. Those original clinics were founded on the premise of providing advanced yet personalized care outside of a traditional hospital setting.

DuPage Medical Group provides autonomy without isolation. We offer the highest level of management and the latest and greatest technology for nearly 50 practice specialties, including the Epic electronic medical record and patient portal. Using Epic allows our physicians to seamlessly share information, ensuring maximum efficiency and accuracy for our patients.
