So Symptoms of SPD disappear with age?
Umm, I wouldn't say they disappear, persay. More like the person with SPD adapts. It never goes away, and there's always the ocassional bad day. For it to go away, they'd have to figure out a way to give us new nervous systems, and even then most of us probably wouldn't want them. I don't. So, I guess not. Get better, yeah, maybe, hopefully, but it never goes away, no.

}

A: UnsatisfiedLinkError means that the 'JpcapCaptor' native lib have not been loaded,
static{
      System.loadLibrary("JpcapCaptor.dll");
}

A: The javadocs for the UnsatisfiedLinkError are pretty straightforward.  you are missing some required lib for jcap.
In the future, the javadocs are a great place to start when you get an exception you don't understand.

A: Install jpcap in your machine and then try to run your code.
you can download jpcap.exe file from here http://jpcap.software.informer.com/0.7/

A: I had the same problem after full compilation and linking of Jpcap (using eclipse on a Mac OS X computer). Turns out there are two versions of Jpcap: https://github.com/jpcap/jpcap (no JpCaptor), and a version with JpCaptor: https://github.com/mgodave/Jpcap. Maybe this helps.

Swing the club faster-fly the ball further.What a concept.
Regardless of playing experience or age, we empower players to improve. I give them the "right" to be good at this sport.Your golfing life will change for the better.
Powerful shots require clubhead speed.
Today golf is a sport - a power game. By taking advantage of today's equipment, we're capable of significantly lower scores by producing longer, more accurate ball flight. What we know as ball compression.
Studies over the past decade have clearly shown that the greatest advantage enjoyed by elite players over others is that elite players generate greater distance thus produce lower scores. Compared to an accomplished amateur, even the average tour player has a 25 to 35 yard advantage swinging a driver.
It is puzzling to me that in a sport that demands the longest ball flight, producing distance is discouraged, neglected and misunderstood.
Powerful shots are the result of clubhead speed transfering energy to the ball - not strength, not flexibility and no, not even swing mechanics. Only speed is speed and that's what I coach. My program results in significant gains in clubhead speed. In my program clubhead speed comes first, thus FASTFIRST. The key to distance and accuracy is ball compression, and the key to ball compression is clubhead speed.
My players improve - they lower scores - because they shorten golf courses with longer, more effective ball responses. Golf skills are not innate. Skills are learned. Speed is a skill.
My program is not limited to long-drive professionals - everybody can learn this!
The vast majority of players already have better swing skills than they think, yet their scores don't reflect their skills because they're cautious, afraid to miss, slow, and short.
The Genius to Learn, Train, Practice and Perform is within You, the Player.
Congratulations to FastFirst Japan Team Leader Yoshie Koyama. Yoshie received the LPGA 2017 International Section Junior Golf Leader award.
We were proud to welcome former US Open Champion and World Golf Hall of Fame member Tom Kite.
Now playing the Champions Tour, Tom came here to increase his clubhead speed and length.
of our collleagues June Lee and Ken Kim. Next up, Japan.
Congratulations to FastFirst player Kevin Riley who won the Metropolitan PGA Section Assistant Tournament.
He has also qualfied for the New York Open.
Kudos also go out to FastFirst-er Awesome Burnett of Flower Mound, Texas.
Awesome won the Jerkyll Island Cup, his second US Kids Golf Regional Championship.
Shooting back to back 71's, he won by two strokes.

Actiones in factum (actiones in factum conceptae) – powództwa oparte na fakcie. W prawie rzymskim grupa powództw pretorskich w których powód nie opierał swojego żądania na prawie cywilnym, bo mu ono nie przysługiwało, a jedynie na pewnym opisanym stanie faktycznym (zdarzeniu) wymienionym w intentio formułki (intentio in factum concepta).

Formułki powództw opartych na fakcie były tworzone przez pretora i umieszczane w jego edykcie. Pretor deklarował tym gotowość udzielania powództw na podstawie samego opisu określonego stanu faktycznego, nieznanego prawu cywilnemu. W ten sposób pretor zapewniał ochronę prawną nowym stosunkom życiowym nieuwzględnianym przez dawne prawo cywilne.

Actiones in factum należały do powództw, przy których z chwilą dokonania litis contestatio, nie następowała tzw. konsumpcja skargi. Oznaczało to, iż powód mógł w przyszłości - wbrew zasadzie bis de eadem re ne sit actio - ponownie wnieść powództwo w tej samej sprawie. Aby temu zapobiec pretor udzielał osobie, ponownie pozwanej w sprawie już poprzednio przeprowadzonej przez litis contestatio, specjalnego zarzutu procesowego - exceptio rei in iudicium deductae. Jeżeli spór został już rozstrzygnięty wyrokiem, udzielano pozwanemu zarzutu sprawy osądzonej - exceptio rei iudicatae. Zarzuty te można było podniosić zarówno w fazie in iure jak i apud iudicem i powodowały oddalenie powództwa.

The Madame Flora Psychic Chat medium is according to MIT Professor Joseph Weizenbaum's e-book: "ELIZA – A Computer Program For the Study of Natural Language Communication Between Man and Machine", Communications of the ACM Volume 9, Number 1 (January 1966): 36-35. Weizenbaum's application, however primitive, has always been useful at extracting emotional responses from the individuals who use it. ELIZA is the archetype of courses now known as chatterbots. This implementation uses John Nolan's Perl Chatbot-Eliza-1. 04 with an augmented script. Spirituality has existed so long as our species, before modern strategies demonstrated its nice impacts or correlations. Like we said, we're concerned concerning the bad client comments we found online. It's a completely unique carrier, particularly on the grounds that having a psychic studying over webcam is appealing. If you're keen to try it, I would say go for it. They supply free chat which lets you try the carrier innocuous. HALF PRICE BANNER OFFER: Please note that extra mins can be chargeable at our regular rates. Banner offers can only be redeemed in the course of the offer period. Gwendolyn Womack has created an alternate impossible to resist story to follow her gripping debut novel The Memory Painter (2015). Her writing is engaging and pleasing. The Fortune Teller aren't be missed, it's a fabulous read. First, you are looking to register. The Members of the website can use a free chat with the Psychics. Be certain to cautiously describe the challenge which bothers you to the chosen Psychic. Our Keynote Speakers — Pleiadian Ambassador Christine Day , Psychic Medium Jurema Silva , and Psychic Medium Alison James — will assist you to in navigating the current chaos of our modern world, and the messages will make clear the journey we all share. People are using free online psychic chat to attach with religious advisors. It is located that the majority men and girls today prefer chatting on the cyber web over chatting with an individual on the cellphone. We live in a world where chat is taking up. Most people prefer texting over chatting with an individual face to face. It is lots easier and you can try this at any time of the day. The Mini Venetian Tarot is a 78 cards deck gold gilded in the luxury book-shape magnetic closure box. There are tons of of various online psychic networks obtainable, but Oranum is a completely unique network. Not only are you able to use a web cam to see and communicate with your psychic, you give you the option to chat with the psychic at no cost in advance of paying for their facilities. This is something that is extremely rarely heard of. In my personal opinion, this will likely definitely be among the best networks to use if you were interested in receiving advice and finding clarity. In Mitsumete Knight , the Asian (aka the player avatar), and ideally a girl of your choice (or the person who has the highest Love Gauge with him if she invites him) will visit a fortune teller in the course of the Mid-Summer Festival. You also can perform a salt rite to offer protection to your house. Lastly, you'd want to meditate regularly, psychically surround your self in white light, and tell any bad energy that it does not have your permission to interfere together with your life. There are over 200 experienced psychics ready to your questions, but at any given time there were not more than 10 online and accessible. The issue is they are from in every single place the area, literally, and timezone changes won't cause them to available. Even psychics need rest. In addition to free content, Oranum offers top rate content material so that it will assist you to have more access to other points on the online page particularly when it involves talking to the psychics.


I realise calling this blog post "Skip, Shed, Tree, Arch" is quite a mouthful. Maybe if you say it very quickly it might sound quite good, a bit like "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy"… albeit more garden-based. On a side note, I have to tell you that I did find that film SO BORING. Not even Tom Hardy could save it for me and that really is quite the insult as I'd watch him in absolutely anything. Anyway I digress, this is Skip, Shed, Tree, Arch and sadly doesn't feature Tom Hardy at all (*weeps*).
I probably should have dedicated a blog post to each of these topics but I'm too lazy and realistically how many consecutive posts do you want to read about somebody else's very ordinary garden? I mean it amazes me that anybody reads this blog at all, let alone the numbers that do, so I must at least try to be interesting. Anyway, back to my garden and it's massive lack of Tom Hardy.
In January we had some very strong winds which finished off our fence on the left hand side. I had hoped it would last another year so we could spend our energies (and budget!) on the new shed but this meant we had to deal with it straight away. So in February we got that replaced and had the old, dilapidated shed removed at the same time. A month later we've now had the entire end of our garden cleared so we can put up the much anticipated new shed. The end of our garden. Blank canvas!
The shed will go on the left and we are planning on planting a cherry blossom tree on the right. We had a massive skip in our drive for two days whilst everything got cleared out. I highly recommend it, it was the most therapeutic thing ever. We filled it to the brim and I still wish I'd had more stuff to throw into it. During this time we also erected our new pergola arch to replace the metal one that went down in the winds. I couldn't really delay this either as I wanted it in place as soon as possible as I'm praying my beloved passionflower stages a recovery. It's currently a 20cm stump sticking out of the bed looking very miserable.
We had a new garden centre open up not far from us and they had 25% off most things during their opening weekend so it was a well timed purchase. New arch – ta dah!
Then this past weekend my husband and I went to a (different!) garden centre and chose my much longed for cherry blossom tree.
I have wanted a cherry blossom since I was about 7 years old when my favourite film was Mary Poppins. The Banks family lived on Cherry Tree Lane and my lifetime obsession with cherry blossoms began. After much procrastinating I eventually opted for Prunus Subhirtella Autumnalis Rosesa (for more info click here).
I was sorely tempted by some of the showier varieties but most cherry trees flower for a really short time in mid to late Spring whilst this one blooms from November to March. My garden is very bare and gloomy at that time of year so I'm hoping this will add some much needed colour. We will hopefully have it delivered and planted in the next couple of weeks. Also… when we went they had 30% off almost everything, an offer which we were told is on until the end of April if you fancy going and grabbing yourself a bargain. Click here for more info on the garden centre. It's next door to Birdworld.
We haven't actually placed the order for the shed yet but as it has a lead time of about 8 weeks I should probably get my skates on.
So that's my boring garden news. Lots going on but absolutely no pretty pictures. So you'll have to settle for this one… of Tom Hardy.
*If you're reading this blog on WordPress this winking gif of Tom Hardy won't work so I'd visit knowingkimberly if I were you.

Lantarón ist eine Gemeinde (municipio) mit  Einwohnern (Stand ) in der spanischen Provinz Álava in der autonomen Region Baskenland. Die Gemeinde wurde erst im Jahr 1978 aus folgenden zwölf Dörfern gebildet: Alcedo, Bergüenda, Caicedo de Yuso, Comunión, Fontecha, Leciñana del Camino, Molinilla, Puentelarrá, Salcedo, Sobrón, Turiso, Zubillaga. Hauptort ist Comunión.

Lage
Lantarón liegt im Südwesten der Provinz Álava zwischen den Flüssen Ebro im Westen und Bayas im Osten in einer Höhe von etwa 400 bis 500 Metern ü. d. M. Die Provinzhauptstadt Vitoria-Gasteiz ist etwa 45 Fahrtkilometer in nordöstlicher Richtung entfernt. Die nächstgrößere Stadt, Miranda de Ebro, liegt knapp acht Kilometer entfernt in der Provinz Burgos.

Politik

Quelle: Spanisches Innenministerium

Bevölkerungsentwicklung

Die einzelnen Dörfer des Municipio von Lantarón haben um die 50 bis 150 Einwohner.

Wirtschaft
Die Dörfer und Weiler der Gemeinde waren und sind in hohem Maße von der Landwirtschaft geprägt; angebaut werden vorwiegend Getreide, aber auch Gemüsepflanzen aller Art. Im Ortsteil Zubillaga am Río Ebro befinden sich ein Chemiewerk (General Quimica S.A.) und ein Industriegebiet (Poligono Industrial de Lantarón). In den Sommermonaten spielt auch der Tourismus (Vermietung von Ferienwohnungen) eine wichtige Rolle im Wirtschaftsleben der Gemeinde.

Geschichte
Es gab höchstwahrscheinlich niemals eine Ortschaft mit Namen Lantarón, aber in der Zeit um 900 existierte kurzzeitig eine Grafschaft (condado) gleichen Namens, deren berühmtester Graf (conde) Gonzalo Téllez war. Die noch erhaltenen Wohntürme zweier Burgen im Ortsteil Fontecha haben mit der Grafenburg nichts zu tun, sie stammen aus dem Spätmittelalter (15. Jahrhundert) und können weder einem Adelsgeschlecht noch einer Grundherrschaft (señorio) zugeordnet werden.

Sehenswürdigkeiten
Alcedo
 Die Kirche San Martín ist ein romanischer Bau aus der Zeit um 1200 mit einer in der Renaissance angebauten Kapelle. Hinter einer zweibogigen Südvorhalle (portico) verbirgt sich ein romanisches Portal. Ein romanisches Fenster verdient ebenfalls Beachtung.
 Die Einsiedlerkirche (Ermita de Santiago) stammt aus dem 16. Jahrhundert und liegt etwas außerhalb des Ortes.
Bergüenda (Bergonda)
 Eine sogenannte 'Römerbrücke' (puente romano) überquert den Río Omecillo. Aufgrund ihrer weitgespannten und im Scheitel angespitzten Bögen ist sie jedoch eher dem Mittelalter zuzurechnen.

Fontecha (Fontetxa)
 Der Torre de Condestable ist ein ehemaliger Bergfried (torre de homenaje) einer spätmittelalterlichen Burg, deren quergelagertes Hauptgebäude bereits palastähnliche Züge aufweist. Beide Bauten bestehen aus exakt behauenem Steinmaterial, welches im Mauerwerksverband geschichtet ist.
 Gleiches gilt für den quadratischen Torre de Orgaz. Sein Eingang befindet sich in etwa 2,50 Metern Höhe und war nur mit Hilfe einer Leiter erreichbar. Beide Türme stehen nur etwa 200 Meter voneinander entfernt am Ortsrand von Fontecha.
 Die Dorfkirche besitzt einen sehenswerten Altarretabel.
Puentelarrá (Larrazubi)
 Die Kirche San Nicolás de Bari stammt aus dem 18. Jahrhundert.

Söhne und Töchter der Gemeinde
 José Mardones (1868–1932), Opernsänger

When it comes to planning a party you have your work cut out for you. No matter what kind of party it is, you have a lot of planning to do. This is why a lot of people hate to do event planning. Today we are going to talk about a few of the things that you will have to keep in mind when planning your party. We will also talk about how to take the easy way out of event planning if you want. Either way, this article should help you with your party planning needs!
First of all, before we even get into all the stuff that goes with planning a party, we need to talk about how you can avoid worrying about it. This is done by hiring event planners. Now, event planners are nice, because they take care of everything. However, even with event planners you still have to have some kind of idea of what party you want to have. This means that you are going to need a theme. Do not just tell them you want a birthday party. Tell them what kind of birthday party you need. Tell them if it's for a boy or a girl, what they like, and some color schemes to work with. This may sound like a lot of work, but it's far less than what you will have to do if you do the whole party by yourself.
Now, if you do not have the money to hire an event planner, or you just like to do these kinds of things yourself, then you will need to keep a few things in mind. First you need to know how many people are going to be at the party. You need to know so you can make sure that you have a enough room for everyone to sit, enough food, supplies and so on. After planning how many people that you want to invite, it's time to invite them. You need to go ahead and send out invitations so you know who is going to come and who is not. After all, if you are planning for 50 people, and only 20 show up, then you have a lot of left over food that could go to waste.
After finding out how many people are coming it's time to go shopping for food and supplies. Party planning revolves around the food a lot. However, do not forget to pick up decorations for the party as well. After all, people will not even know that it's a party if you do not have decorations up in your house.
Either way, you can clearly see that a lot of work is going to go into the party. However, if you want to do less work and have more fun, then you need to hire a party planner. Having someone to help you with your party is always a great way to find more time to spend with your friends and less time trying to be the host.


I was in Auckland a week or so ago and had a few hours to catch up with some of my family. In the drive from the airport I was briefed about the exploits of my grandson Archie (age 6). His parents are sending him to one of our church schools. He starts next year. It seems the family attended an interview and a tour of the school with the headmaster: at the end of this process they were asked if they had any questions. Archie did. He asked the Headmaster (1) Who made God; and (2) who made the man who made God. It was reported that the Headmaster (clearly thinking on his feet) promptly referred Archie and these questions to the Chaplain for first term next year. I am very proud that Archie asked such searching questions and I would love to be a fly on the wall when the chaplain has that promised discussion with him; and, to be honest, there is a part of me that is rather thankful that Archie has not asked his grandfather those questions - yet. These are questions that our gospel this evening engages.
I have always loved this gospel for the midnight mass at Christmas. It is one of the most famous passages in the New Testament. It is about the mystery of the universe and why anything exists at all. You could say that, for a moment, it has us gazing into the vast darkness of the cosmos while the gospeller tells an old story in a new way. He tells us of this unimaginable absolute reality that he calls The Word and that this summons the cosmos into being – forming matter, space and time – and all that is. Only from the action of the Word can we speak of a beginning and from there on all time exists and the world is full of beginnings, full of creation, of causes, and consequences. Where scientists have suggested 'the big bang' as the point of creation, time and space, John speaks of The Word and of a universe formed and sustained by purpose and (ultimately) by what we may describe as love.
This is a night when we come with our anxieties for ourselves, our loved ones and our world. Against all those fears stands the gospel's firm statement that in Christ is "the light of all mankind and this light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not overcome it." This may be a night when we come with mixed feelings – because along with hope and joy we may miss loved and familiar faces from the table or there are issues that trouble and distract us. Truly, the joy of the season is never quite untouched by sadness but still "the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it." At the heart of all there is, is a purpose and a love beyond all our imagining.


Develop a system that allows you to update the content on your website on a daily basis. Yes, it may seem like a lot of time, but new content is the life blood of return visitors. If your visitors notice that your site is rarely updated, they are less apt to take the time to visit you again.
Even those with little knowledge of personal computers have established successful businesses online, so you can do the same. The following few paragraphs will impart some interesting Internet marketing information.

The Low Emission Capacity Building Programme is a global initiative to support national climate change mitigation efforts, low emission development strategies and enhanced measuring, reporting and verification systems.
The Low Emission Capacity Building Programme works in tandem with the UNDP Green, Low-Emission and Climate-Resilient Development Unit to support multilevel country efforts that intertwine climate change with development choices and actions involving multiple sectors, stakeholders, and ecosystems. Through this arrangement, UNDP seeks to develop strong partnerships to deliver capacity building and support to countries in the area of climate change.
This collaborative programme aims to strengthen technical and institutional capacities at the country level, while at the same time facilitating inclusion and coordination of the public and private sector in national initiatives addressing climate change. It does so by utilizing the global networks and substantial experience that UNDP has established through our wide portfolio of projects and programmes around the world.
For more information visit www.lowemissiondevelopment.org.
Under the Low Emission Capacity Building (LECB) Programme, financed by the EU, Germany, and AusAID, participating countries are primarily focusing on capacity building activities at the national level. This includes formulating Low-Emission Development Strategies (LEDS) and/or Nationally appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs), as well as establishing the underlying data collection systems (i.e. national GHG inventory systems, and monitoring, reporting and verification systems).

Add to NCPR's 2015 summer reading list
by Ellen Rocco on July 8th, 2015

Our summer reading call-in was Thursday, July 9, 10-noon. We count on you to add titles and recommendations, via the comment section here or email ellen@ncpr.org.
The compiled book list is below
Chris Robinson, program co-host
"Race" is a category that finds no support in biology, but it is certainly real enough socially to cause enormous pain and suffering. Racial divides are never symmetrical; they are there to demarcate and perpetuate power over the powerless. Our racist culture serves to make this unjust and oppressive order appear normal and natural. Various strands of narrative, like the justifications we have been hearing for continuing to fly the Confederate flag over the South Carolina capital building, defend the racial divide designed to protect white supremacy with obfuscation. These narratives hide the underlying racist reality and it takes strong thinking and writing to achieve clarity. My reading involves seeking out those who conceive of truth as a tool for exposing what has been buried over with claims about heritage, military valor, purity and nature. Richard Wright, James Baldwin, Maya Angelou, Toni Morrison, Malcolm X and Dr. King exemplify this kind of dangerous thinking and writing.
A couple of years ago, Jonathan Brown (weekend announcer for NCPR) sent me a link to an article by a new writer, Ta-Nehisi Coates. The title of the piece was "The Case for Reparations," and Jonathan told me I'd be a fool not to read it. He was absolutely right. Since receiving that sage advice, I have been careful to read everything I could by Coates, including his memoir, The Beautiful Struggle. I've been reading illuminating works on "whiteness" and "blackness" by a whole range of thinkers, but Coates remains the most profound author around. His work creates the categories and vocabulary we Americans really need to finally expose or racism as a first step toward its abolition.
Here's my list for this summer:
Gary Shteyngart, Absurdistan and Super Sad True Love Story. Shteyngart is one of the finest comedic writers working today. Yes, he is funny, but he also has a gift for creating stunning worlds in his novels – a whole country in Absurdistan and a dystopian future in Super Sad True Love Story. This is beach entertainment that won't embarrass you when someone from the next blanket asks you what you're reading.
Hans Faluda, Every Man Dies Alone. Faluda was a very popular author in Europe between the wars and immediately after. In this novel, a German couple resists the Nazi Party by dropping cards with anti-Hitlerian slogans throughout Berlin. It is a fascinating portrait of life lived under Nazism. Those images of uniformity in belief and action I associate with Leni Riefenstahl's "Triumph of the Will" prove inaccurate in Faluda's examination of the society through his characters.
John Wideman, Fanon. This is an impressionistic novel that manages to capture the spirit of Frantz Fanon's anti-colonialism, his defense of violence on behalf of the colonized over their much better armed oppressors, and his sense of justice. It took me a while to catch on to the rhythm of Wideman's sentences. It felt like I was just grasping the material when I finished the book. I think this is a good thing.
David Foster Wallace, The Pale King. This novel was published after Wallace's death. It was put together from one large manuscript in draft form that was sitting on his desk, and then from various pieces found on floppy disks, stray pages and file folders. It is not the novel that Wallace was seeking to write. But the work does manage to evince great art from the complete and utter boredom of life in the offices of the IRS.
Karl Ove Knausgaard, My Struggle, Volume 3. Last winter I led with my complete absorption in the world of Knausgaard as it is presented in the first two volumes of this six volume opus. I plan to read one a year as they are translated and published in paperback editions. Volume three is a brilliant portrait of Knausgaard as a child. The narrative is not as temporally discordant as the first two volumes. He stays in the past tense with one small exception. Much of the book is taken up recalling how much Knausgaard feared his father and how awful his father made his life. In the one temporal jump, Knausgaard turns to his relationship with his own children. He walks into the room where his children are playing and they don't notice him. For Knausgaard this signals his success as a parent. His children are comfortable enough around him to fail to notice he entered the room.
Antonio Skarmeta, The Days of the Rainbow. The setting for this novel is Chile under the military dictatorship of Pinochet. The son of a philosophy professor witnesses his father's arrest. What follows is a fascinating dissection of the relationship of politics to advertising as one family engages in dangerous oppositional politics in the form of a fake election and another seeks the truth of what happened to their loved one.
Zadie Smith, NW. I am a huge and unabashed fan of Zadie Smith's novels and essays. Thus I was pretty worried when I read the uniformly negative reviews of her latest work before I read the book for myself. If you like Smith's work, then you will see this novel, NW, as a character study of the neighborhood where she grew up in North West London as an experiment in form and style. The dialogue is pure Zadie Smith. The pastiche form the work takes is distinctive. How do you bring a neighborhood – buildings, cars, noise, cooking smells, community, violence, and love – alive? I say that Smith accomplishes this. Critics disagree (and they are wrong).
Michael Chabon, Telegraph Avenue. I like Chabon a lot too. I don't think this novel is as successful as his earlier books, and it does not compare to Smith's NW. Chabon, too, attempts to bring a neighborhood to life, as well as a musical and political culture. The novel has high aspirations and I admire this.
Hilary Mantel, Bring Up the Bodies. This is the second volume of the Wolf Hall series that will include a third. If you have read Wolf Hall and grew to love Thomas Cromwell, then this second book will not disappoint.
James McBride, The Good Lord Bird. What a stunning novel this is. The setting is pre-Civil War America and the militant abolitionism of John Brown. The story is told from the vantage of a slave liberated by Brown. This boy was mistaken for a girl, and he spends much the novel in a dress. He's nicknamed "Onion" by Brown and the name sticks. To be an abolitionist was to be a fanatic. John Brown's devotion to the cause of freeing slaves was fed by religious fervor, and McBride is brilliant in depicting this aspect of Brown's character with a strong dose of comedy. This is an oddly and effectively funny book. You know how the story will end before you begin reading. There's no mystery. But McBride manages to tell this story so compellingly it is difficult to put it down. McBride is also the author of The Color of Water, a memoir, which has made our reading lists several times over the last few years.
Marisha Pessl, Night Film. I read Pessl's debut novel, Special Topics in Calamity Physics, a few years ago and placed it high on my list of favorite books. I was excited to get my hands on her sophomore effort, and it was worth the wait. Like her first novel, a father/daughter relationship is the animating force of the work. A young woman, daughter of a famed movie director, commits suicide. A disgraced journalist decides to take up the story and seeks to understand why someone so wealthy, beautiful and talented would kill herself. The investigation takes him through the director's actual and filmic world. The story is dense and complicated, but Pessl builds scenes and characters that are absorbing. In the end, all the mystery has been exposed as, well, not very mysterious. We have learned a deep lesson about the magic of film: We buy into the illusions because we love and even need them.
Richard Yates, Revolutionary Road. I know this is regarded as a classic by readers I respect, but I just got around to reading it. Is there a better take on the psychological toll of the corporate rat race in literature? A marriage begins in love and mutual respect. Under the pressure of life in middle-class America, it unravels. Yates is just plain unflinching when it comes to showing how destructive marital arguments can be. Intimacy becomes a weapon; love is a crowbar that wrenches open ribs to expose the soul. It is awful to read, and yet mesmerizing. All those compromises we make just to live and live well come back to haunt as resentments.
Poems, Memoir, Non-Fiction
Ta-Nehisi Coates, The Beautiful Struggle. Let me admit that I'm just not cool enough for this book. Much of the slang and the knowing takes on the music of Coates's youth are beyond me. But this is an insightful and moving memoir of Coates' experiences growing up on the streets of Baltimore. What must you know to get to school and home again safely? What facial expression at the wrong time could get you killed? How many friends do you need to ward off violence? The relationship of Coates to his scholarly Black Panther, then former Black Panther, father is drawn lovingly, but without sacrificing the idiosyncrasies of the relationship. The writing is electric and edges toward the incendiary when it needs to. Racism is exposed in the fear and anger of this young person try not simply to survive, but to flourish as a human being. Coates is emerging as a major writer and public intellectual. He has a new book coming out this month. It will be on the top of my list come November or December.
Christopher Finch, Chuck Close: Life. I love biographies of artists and musicians. But I have to say that I go into these works hoping to discover some key to creativity and vision and I always seem to come away disappointed. It turns out that much of what it takes to be a great artist is hard work. Talent comes in a distant second. Finch is a friend of Close's, and the biography was commissioned. I knew there would not be any surprises about the life as it was portrayed. But the story of how Close responded to a devastating event – an occlusion of the spinal artery that left him nearly quadriplegic is amazing and inspirational. I love Close's work. The book brought helped me understand this work a bit better. It was well worth the trip.
Chris Hedges, The Wages of Rebellion. Hedges has been coming out with a book a year for over a decade now. I've read them all. I need his passionate critiques of corporate capitalism, party politics, the distortion of Christianity to justify hateful policies, and his diagnosis of our nation as sick and in need of radical democratic medicine. This book is a study of what Reinhold Niebuhr called the "sublime madness" at the moral core of any rebel or act of rebellion. The study is composed of an array of stories of those who willingly oppose policies and conditions they regard as unjust and criminal, even when these actions place them at great risk. The studies of Edward Snowden, Chelsea Manning, Julian Assange and others are compelling, learned and insightful.
James Wood, The Nearest Thing to Life. Wood is the critic who convinced me I needed to read Karl Ove Knausgaard, and so I am completely indebted to him. What I like most about Wood's critical works is how they are suffused by love of literature and a belief that literary works make the world better. As crappy as we humans are and as awful as things are, we still can create works of surpassing beauty and wisdom. Sroies and novels by Chekhov, Sebald, Knausgaard and others not only describe the shape of our life, but they can give life shape too (as we readers know all too well).
Marie Matsuki Mockett, Where the Dead Pause and the Japanese Say Goodbye . Matsuki Mockett is the daughter of a Scotsman and a Japanese woman, and she has traveled between Japan and the United States since her childhood. She is an outsider in Japan, but she speaks the language fluently and has made a study of Japanese tradition and spirituality. This is the background she brought to her visit to northern Japan after the earthquake, tsunami and contamination from the Fukushima nuclear facility. As she traveled, she sought to understand the changes this disaster made to the ordinary life of those affected directly. Yet, the book transcends the ordinary travelogue and becomes a philosophical reflection on family, death and the ordinary human quest to comprehend reality.
Benjamin Lerner, The Good Doctor. This is a wonderful memoir by a physician and medical ethicist that compares the practice of his physician father with his own. We no longer live in a world where the doctor is God. The consequences of this transformation of how medical decisions are made are wide-ranging.
Atul Gawande, Being Mortal. This is the most important book on healthcare in America available. Gawande blends the story of his father's experiences of aging and dying with an analysis of American healthcare. Our country is getting older, but the system does not reflect this. Geriatric care should be a growth industry for current medical students, but it is an unpopular minor specialty instead. Gawande researches the history of nursing homes, euthanasia and palliative care in this rich and provocative volume. This is the book we need to begin a robust conversation on how we should take care of one another.
Claudia Rankin, Citizen: An American Lyric. Rankin's book was a finalist for the National Book Award in two categories: poetry and criticism. I think this is a first. What does it feel like to grow up black in America? Can you write of this experience in a way that leaves a white reader comprehending the injustice of the privilege and sense of entitlement they would experience if privilege and entitlement were not so invisible to the possessor? There are lines and sections of this book that left me ashamed and inspired to make the kind of social changes that originate in the activist. Rankin quotes James Baldwin's observation: "The purpose of art is to lay bare the questions hidden by the answers."
Melanie Jordan, Hallelujah for the Ghosties. My colleague Lisa Propst turned me on to this debut collection of poems. The only sort of connection between the poems is the "I" of the writer and her playfulness. The emotions are entirely human and the voice, slow mostly, but occasionally fast, is brave. I keep this volume on my desk at work. I've been dipping into it for months now. It is a companion.
Hoberman, Film After Film. Hoberman is a film critic who does more than assess the individual film. He raises larger, philosophical questions about what happens to movie making and the experience of watching a movie when the medium of the art has transitioned from film stock to digital, and when the effects achieved in a film are largely computer-generated. This book is divided between two large subject areas in the film world in the 21st century. The first area is composed of the ontological and experiential issues I just noted. The second pertains to the way the film industry responded to the terrorist attacks of 9/11 and their aftermath. Hoberman is an intelligent guide to the intersection of movies and politics. Not only did I come away from the book with some deep questions about the movie business, but I have a fine list of films that I need to see.
Donald Hall, Unpacking the Boxes. Hall is a former U.S. Poet Laureate and he has received the Medal of Freedom from President Obama. I do like his poetry. But it is his memoir writing that draws my attention and cultivates devotion. This book is a companion to his memoir on his marriage to Jane Kenyon and her death. I found it moving and now wonder why I fear aging so much.

Ellen Rocco, NCPR
Between the World and Me, Ta-Nehisi Coates. A collection of letters to his son about growing up, coming of age, and understanding the artificial construct of race in America. Coates is a leading thinker in a new generation of African-American writers.
The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Color Blindness, Michel Alexander, introduction by Cornel West. "We have not ended racial caste in America; we have merely redesigned it."
The Fire Next Time, James Baldwin. With so many race-related stories, issues and events on our national radar in the past couple of years, I'm planning to re-read Baldwin's 1963 classic. I haven't read it since it first came out—how will it touch me now, vs. the way I saw and understood the book when I was still a teenager?
Our Souls at Night, Ken Haruf
A Narrow Road to the Deep North, Richard Flanagan
The Lives of Others, Neel Mukherjee
Toms River: A Story of Science and Salvation, Dan Fagin
Connie Meng, NCPR
All the Light We Cannot See, Anthony Doerr — Won the Pulitzer. A WWII novel that tells the stories of a blind FRench girl and a young German boy whose stories eventually converge. It's beautifully written has some of the feeling of "The Book Thief."
Words Without Music, Philip Glass — A memoir, surprisingly humorous and interesting. Chronicles how he developed his musical style. Of interest to musicians and entertaining for the general public.
Jackie Sauter, NCPR
Kate Atkinson. All her books are wonderful, from her early Behind the Scenes at the Museum, to the Jackson Brody mysteries, to her more recent paired novels, Life After Life and A God in Ruins. Beautiful books about coincidence, the confluence of events, and how our presence and our actions impact the world around us.
Some authors I love and always recommend: Frances Itani. Her beautiful Deafening. Set in Belleville, Ontario, and her recent critically acclaimed sequel, Tell. Michael Ondaatje. Everything. But try some of his earlier work, like In the Skin of a Lion for a sense of farming near Lake Ontario and the building up of Toronto in the 1920s. Louise Penny. Mysteries set in Quebec, great summer reads — get going — her newest is out in August.
Donna Walsh Inglehart, Grindstone, A Novel. Civil War Era Confederate spies roaming through the Thousand Islands. A great summer read for young adults and their elders. Adventure, romance and a real sense of what life might have been like in our islands back then.
What I'm reading next: Jo Walton's The Philosopher Kings, and her just-out sequel, The Just City. With a nod to Plato's Republic, we're talking sci-fi-fantasy complete with time traveling gods and goddesses and philosophical robots. I can't wait!
Sarah Harris, NCPR
A Tale for the Time Being by Ruth Ozeki
Radio Bob Sauter, NCPR
Behind the Scenes at the Museum by Kate Atkinson, the Game of Thrones series, classic Rex Stout novels from way back then
Michael Coffey, writer/editor
Note: Michael recommended the Philip Glass book, Words Without Music, too, and sent along a review he wrote for Bomb magazine (in the current issue). And, Michael pointed out that Philip Glass is cousin to Ira Glass. The book is really very good: great stories, artistic adventure and purity and ambition melded in one very nice man who worked for everything he got.
Elizabeth Folwell, Board Chair, Adirondack Center for Writing, an organization for readers and writers alike
As an audiobook, Dead Wake by Erik Larson, author of Devil in the White City, is fascinating. He does such extensive research, and the story of the last voyage of the Lusitania even has an Adirondack hook–Alfred G. Vanderbilt, who owned Great Camp Sagamore, went down with the ship.
Like millions of other readers, I really enjoyed All the Light We Cannot See, and the story was all the more poignant because descriptions of people, places and events were not visual, depicted as a blind person would have observed them. I thought that was a terrific example of storycraft.
Marcia Brooks, a reader via email
The Nightingale, Kristen Hannah. I have long enjoyed Kristen Hannah books, but this one is outstanding. Men as well as women will enjoy it. The Nightingale takes place during WWII, mainly in France, and is the story of two sisters. Very well written with a great ending.
Pat Nelson, a reader via email
One of my favorites is On Behavior by Karen Pryor, a series of essays on the use of scientific behavior concepts by orchestra conductors, music teachers, dog obedience instructors, professors, sports coaches and many more. Who can resist articles with titles like "Why Orchestra Conductors Would Make Good Porpoise Trainers", or "The Rhino Likes Violets" or "The Dreadful Dowager Dolphin"? Pryor's writing is knowledgeable, perceptive and witty.
For those that like dogs and like mysteries, Neil Plakcy's Golden Retriever Mysteries series, Karen Harbert's Murder at the Dog Show, and Krista Davis's Paws and Claws series will provide plenty of well-written suspense and interesting characters — human, canine and feline. Davis also has a series, "The Domestic Diva Mysteries" which is equally well-written with quirky characters and fewer canines. Both of Davis's series feature recipes that may rouse you from your deck chair and into the kitchen.
For those who will be teaching or taking Chemistry 101 in the fall, and those who wish that Chem 101 had been more interesting, Sam Kean's The Disappearing Spoon: and Other True Tales of Madness, Love and the History of the World from the Periodic Table of Elements will bring the subject to life.
Sally Lynch, a reader via email
My most memorable read this year is Quiet: the Power of Introverts in a World that Can't Stop Talking by Susan Cain. This is nonfiction, beautifully researched, very well written and really original. It is an important book.
John Goddard, a reader via email
This is more in the way of a "heads up." Author Sarah Bannan will be giving a talk and readings from her new book Weightless at the Johnsburg Public Library in North Creek at 7:00 pm tonight (Thursday 7/9/15). Sarah lives in Ireland and is visiting her parents who summer in North River.
I have not read the book but a couple of friends have recommended it and it seems to be getting good reviews.
Paul Monroe, A Blue Mountain Lake reader via email
10:04 by Ben Lerner. He is a poet so the prose is both accessible and dense. I read it twice in a row- something I have never done before.
Wendy Gordon, a reader via comment form
Brigid Schulte, Overwhelmed: How to Work, Love, and Play when No One has the Time. In a style reminiscent of Mary Roarke, Schulte, a journalist, goes on a mission to discover why she doesn't have any time – not even enough to keep a time diary for expert analysis. Covering a wide swath of social sciences and different cultures, she does an excellent job of explaining where "the overwhelm" comes from and how to combat it, without ever taking on the preachy or overly-academic tone of so many similar books.
Marti Whitmer, a reader via Facebook
I am rereading the "Outlander" series of 8 books. There are nuances afresh with each rereading. It is one of those novels where one can see, feel, smell, and taste with each page. The characters delve into life issues unflinchingly. Love it!
Ellen Butz, a reader via Facebook
If you like mysteries I recommend any of the Venetian mysteries by Donna Leon. Well developed characters and a great sense of place. I especially enjoyed the recent Falling in Love.
Leslie Anne King, a reader via Facebook
Another mystery series: A series of five books, #5 out earlier this year, all set in Istanbul of the 1820s in the waning days of the Ottoman Empire. The author is Jason Goodwin, the Investigator is Yashim a eunuch in the service of the sultan. I just re-read the first of them, The Janissary Tree and loved it again, looking forward to #5. The writing is good, the mysteries are good, and the setting is a wonderful way to learn about that very interesting place and time.

Wendy Gordon says:
The Emerald Mile by Kevin Fedarko
Ellen B says:
Just plunging into another of Shirley Jackson's oeuvre "The Bird's Nest." Such a twisted tale! The story unfolds inside a young woman's mind and in the pedantic writing of her somewhat clueless therapist. I had to keep reminding myself that this was written before the women's movement of the 70's. The writing is tight, not showy, and the plot is dizzying. Now I must read all of her works, including her two takes on child-rearing that have been reissued.
Also, the chemistry books recommendation reminded me of an old favorite, Primo Levi's "The Periodic Table." Memoir, exploration of youth, nostalgic look back at a Jewish-Italian subculture by a man who built his career around the mysteries of chemistry.

Leaving Before the Rains Come by Alexandra Fuller. Love her writing, but don't always like the author in this book.
Anything she writes is worth reading.
Dreamland" the True Story of the Opiate Epidemic by Sam Quinones. Required reading for policy makers.
Good Summer reads are A Spool of Blue Thread by Anne Tyler, The Children's Crusade by Anne Packard, anything by Louise Penney, Joanne Trollope, Zadie Smith. Our Souls at Night, as Ellen mentoned. I have read some wonderful books this year, know I'm forgetting many of them. These are ones I've liked in the last little bit.
Anything by Michael Perry. He was raised on a dairy farm in Wisconsin, and is a NYTimes bestseller. His sensibilities will resonate with North country folks in many ways, and the writing is satisfying. Population 485, Coop, Visiting Tom, the Jesus Cow, Main St.
Chris Morris says:
Not seeing a ton of mysteries or crime fiction. What kind of summer reading list is this, anyway?
J.K. Rowling's Cormoran Strike mysteries are awesome. Written under the pen name Robert Galbraith. Read them: The Cuckoo's Calling and The Silkworm.
Jo Nesbo's new short novel, Blood on Snow, is great. Probably his best prose to date, and a haunting story.
The Last Child by John Hart. I suppose you could call it southern noir. Starts slow, then takes off. Gripping stuff.
The Marco Effect by Jussi Adler-Olsen. Part of his Department Q series (you should probably read all of them).
Also, not exactly new fare, but Andrea Camilleri's Inspector Montalbano books are perfect for camping and/or the beach. Dry humor, plenty of references to Sicilian culture, and fun, tightly-written crime stories.
Guessing this crowd isn't super into graphic novels, but I've finally started reading Neil Gaiman's The Sandman. Definitely worth it if you're into comics.


The medical devices that come about as a result of medical machining are used in the medical industry. The quality of life of people is improved when medical devices are used in the treatment of different conditions. Some of the tools that are manufactured for use in the healthcare industry include cardiovascular devices, orthopedic medical devices, intravascular devices, among other devices. Component manufacturing, component design, sterile packaging as well as labeling is what is involved in medical machining.
Because of the sensitive nature of the devices that they make, medical machining companies must focus on quality medical devices. Medical machining companies also have to be innovative in the design of their medical devices. Medical devices are also designed with a lot of attention to detail because the medical industry standards are high. Some of the materials that they use for making medical devices include stainless steel, aluminium, titanium, radel, medical grade polymers, acetal, cobalt chrome among other materials.
To successfully design medical devices, experience in the medical machining industry is necessary, and this is why medical machining is successfully done by some companies. CNC milling machines are typically used for making medical devices. Finishing operations of medical devices can be done in-house in a medical machining company, or it can be contracted to another company. For high quality finishes in medical devices, the quality management systems of a medical machining company will ensure that standards are high. Only those medical devices that meet the standards of the medical industry will be released to the market, and this is the work of the quality management system.
During the manufacture of devices, it is the work of the medical machining company to follow the print specifications of a client during manufacture of devices. When working on a project, medical machining companies will offer project management services to clients. If one is looking for a medical machining company to hire, they should look for a company that has the prompt manufacture of medical devices. Some medical machining companies also offer laser etching, specialized cleaning, passivation among other operations for medical components.
When selecting a medical machining company, one should look for one that will be able to meet their needs. To understand the services that are offered by medical machining companies, one must carry out thorough research on the services of a medical machining company. Clients should also consider the durability of medical devices that they want to purchase from a medical machining company. Medical machining companies typically sell their medical devices for different prices so one should consider price when purchasing medical devices.

The way I see it: election commentary – part 3
Don Jaque
Michael Miltenberger is probably his own worst enemy. You can't fault him for his competence, diligence and reliability, but he does not communicate well, especially during elections.
His monotone delivery and technical savvy may serve him well in the Legislature, but many voters want to be inspired, some even seduced with promises. He insists on being practical, down-to-earth, realistic. No hand-on-your-knee beguiling election-inspired "friendship" that is the domain of many a politician. Plus there is that characteristic ego and his sardonic wit that many don't get. Some people find him hard to like. Yet many who get to know him are loyal. His is an interesting personality for a politician.
In my 37 years as a journalist, transparency by politicians has come to mean a lot. In different encounters with Michael Miltenberger and our reporters over the years, I don't recall him ever turning down an interview nor dodging a question. He has always been open and frank about anything to do with his different roles in government or events in his riding. That has been the case even during controversy, when he has been challenged under duress. Only a few politicians I have known have been that forthcoming.
Miltenberger's performance over time as a senior cabinet minister has been commendable, to the benefit of all NWT residents. He has been the architect of significant legislation and policy. The NWT's Water Strategy is his and is respected by environmentalists as one of the best of its kind in the country. The much-needed new Wildlife Act is close to completion, after six years of diligent consultation – only to be adjusted to gain the support of a few First Nation groups to become law. In addition, he carried the greatest load of all ministers in the last assembly, with three major portfolios at the end – finance, health and environment along with being Deputy Premier – a prodigious load and an amazing undertaking for one individual. He was an advocate of devolution and that lost him votes, but he had the courage and conviction to stand up for what he believed was best.
In the past I have said, as sort of a critical compliment, that Miltenberger is good for the territory but not so good in his own riding. In fairness, his riding has never really supported him. Peter Martselos as mayor worked actively against him for over a decade, wanting himself to be MLA. Even the current town council has met with him only once in a year and has asked for little. Why is a new arena, a new court house, a fix for the slide zone and cheap power from the Taltson Dam not on their shopping list? Why has he not been supported and pushed by his constituency?
Any MLA needs that. No matter who is elected to office, it is up to constituents to see that they perform.
The 64 km of remaining unpaved road into Fort Smith is not a hill that he should die on. Defending the massive hospital renovation budget when the alternative was a glorified nursing station served by centralized doctors in Hay River was huge for Fort Smith. Things like that and seniors' housing can easily be eroded away by other MLAs in an assembly where everyone is grabbing for what the other has. The Legislature is a tough place with limited money and that is about to get tighter. Getting something committed is one thing, but defending it is even harder.
I did not support Michael Miltenberger as Thebacha MLA for his first three terms. My vote was available to whoever I figured was the best candidate. Michael had his problems. The ongoing dispute with Hay River MLA Jane Groenewegen limited the prospect of that community and Fort Smith working together. I also felt he lacked vision. I want to know from all leaders where Fort Smith is going, what promise the future holds for it and what they are going to do about it.
In the last election with Peter Martselos as the main challenger, I considered Martselos standing in the NWT Legislature advocating on behalf of Fort Smith. Would he do better than Miltenberger? Not a chance. The fragile government-based Fort Smith economy is all about sustainability – preventing what exists from eroding while working patiently to add to it.
Miltenberger, especially with his considerable skills in the backrooms, was far and away the best choice for the role. At that point I reassessed. Gone was the edgy, ego-centric Michael of old. He had learned some lessons along the way; softened, grown wiser.
Fort Smith has 2,500 people – a tiny place with a mayor and council and three Aboriginal groups, each with their own government. On top of that it has its own MLA. All that power and potential, yet the community cannot unite and work toward common goals. All three candidates in the current election are well known. All have held public office for many years and have either performed well or had problems. There are good records, bad ones, and some have made grievous errors. It should not be hard to decide. Which one is honest, principled, open and capable and best able to lead Thebacha Riding into the future? It is up to you to choose. Do it well.

Q: IE-11 not redirecting script tag We have a web app that requests javascript from a Node API, which in some cases redirects to a script from another server. The request is made from HTML, something like this:
<script src="https://our-api.our-domain.com/some-script.js" async></script>

and the response from our-api contains the following headers, among others:
status: 302 (temporary redirect)
location: https://another-api.another-domain.com/actual-script.js

This works fine in Chrome, but IE-11 hangs. I have verified that our-api is consistently sending the 302 response and the redirect url.
Chrome shows the 302 response (Network tab) from our API, then goes on to request actual-script.js. You can see that come back with status 200, and the script runs as expected.
IE-11 shows the request being made, but it stays in a "Pending" state with no indication that the 302 was ever received by the browser, but no error either. After about a minute, the request apparently times out, and network tab shows the request as "Aborted".
I've tried clearing the cache. No joy. Thinking that perhaps this is considered a security risk by IE, I also tried listing both *.our-domain.com and *other-domain.com as trusted, but that doesn't help either.
What do I need to do to make IE honor the redirect?
Addendum:
I conducted a couple of experiments locally, and found that IE-11 never requests the redirect url actual-script.js at all. It will honor the redirect for <img> and <link> tags, but not for <script> tags. Ugh.

Q: rails haml ugly weird behaviour I have the following helper:
def feeder value=true
  if feeder? == value
    haml_tag :span, :<, :class => 'selected' do
      yield
    end
  else
    yield
  end
end

And the following in a view:
- feeder(false) do
  = link_to 'Leda', :root

This works as expected in haml non-ugly mode (development environment == haml indented code).
However in production mode (e.g. haml ugly rendering) i get this html:

Leda

<!DOCTYPE html>

<meta charset='utf-8'>
<title>Feeder</title>
<meta name="csrf-param" content="authenticity_token"/>
<meta name="csrf-token" content="8kp4xt6ZJU2nL5uLgVBW6BcB/RTA75QwynKvZTMtNF8="/>
<link href="/leda/stylesheets/jquery-ui/smoothness/jquery-ui.css?1297978005" media="screen" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<link href="/leda/stylesheets/admin.css?1298951622" media="screen" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

Leda

 »
gvm1

Replacing the else clause with this:
else
  haml_tag :span do
    yield
  end
end

fixes the problem, but i can't possibly understand why/how. What puzzles more is that it only fails on haml ugly rendering mode.

A: Why not just do it all in the view, like this?
%span{:class => blah.feeder? && "selected"}= link_to 'Blah', blah

(haml docs on this are right here.)
Your helper version seems unnecessarily complex.

Q: iOS removing MKMapView overlays not working I would like to remove all the overlays of my map at one point, and I tried different ways but it never works.
Last try I did [self.mapView removeOverlays:self.mapView.overlays]; and it still doesn't work. Any idea how I can remove those overlays?
Thank you.
UPDATE 1
I have the error: malloc: *** error for object 0x5adc0c0: pointer being freed was not allocated
*** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug
I think I know why, but don't really know how to fix it...
Here is the code when I need to draw another line on my mapView:
// Create a c array of points.
MKMapPoint *pointsArray = malloc(sizeof(CLLocationCoordinate2D) * 2);

// Create 2 points.
MKMapPoint startPoint = MKMapPointForCoordinate(CLLocationCoordinate2DMake(oldLatitude, oldLongitude));
MKMapPoint endPoint = MKMapPointForCoordinate(CLLocationCoordinate2DMake(newLatitude, newLongitude));

// Fill the array.
pointsArray[0] = startPoint;
pointsArray[1] = endPoint;

// Erase polyline and polyline view if not nil.
if (self.routeLine != nil) {
    [_routeLine release];
    self.routeLine = nil;
}

if (self.routeLineView != nil) {
    [_routeLineView release];
    self.routeLineView = nil;
}

// Create the polyline based on the array of points.
self.routeLine = [MKPolyline polylineWithPoints:pointsArray count:2];

// Add overlay to map.
[self.mapView addOverlay:self.routeLine];

// clear the memory allocated earlier for the points.
free(pointsArray);

// Save old coordinates.
oldLatitude = newLatitude;
oldLongitude = newLongitude;

So I release the routeLine object which is the previous overlay. So when I tried to remove it, it crashes because it has already been deallocated.
Here is the code for the mapView delegate for adding overlay views:
- (MKOverlayView *)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView viewForOverlay:(id <MKOverlay>)overlay
{
    MKOverlayView* overlayView = nil;

    if(overlay == _routeLine) {
        // If we have not yet created an overlay view for this overlay, create it now.
        if(self.routeLineView == nil) {
            self.routeLineView = [[[MKPolylineView alloc] initWithPolyline:_routeLine] autorelease];

            self.routeLineView.fillColor = [UIColor blueColor];
            self.routeLineView.strokeColor = [UIColor blueColor];

            // Size of the trace.
            self.routeLineView.lineWidth = routeLineWidth;
        }

        overlayView = self.routeLineView;
    }

    return overlayView;
}

If you guys know how I can fix this issue, removing all overlays from my MKMapView it would be awesome!
UPDATE 2
I tried not releasing my routeLine and routeLineView objects and it works now. It seems like there are no leaks too. So now I'm doing this:
// Erase polyline and polyline view if not nil.
if (self.routeLine != nil) {
    //[_routeLine release];
    self.routeLine = nil;
}

if (self.routeLineView != nil) {
    //[_routeLineView release];
    self.routeLineView = nil;
}

A: When you step through the code in the debugger, where does the error show up?
One thought, you may have an issue with your retain/release cycle for self.routeLine and self.routeLineView. Assuming they are properties with a retain attribute, when you do
self.routeLine = [MKPolyline polylineWithPoints:pointsArray count:2];

your synthesized accessor is retaining the new MKPolyline object. That object will also have a retain/autorelease pair from the convenience method that created it. When this method gets called again and you call the
if (self.routeLine != nil) {
    [_routeLine release];
    self.routeLine = nil;
}

code, you will end up releasing the variable twice, the first with the explicit [_routeLine release] call and the second with the synthesized accessor on the self.routeLine = nil; call. It will stay in memory, but will crash the app when your autorelease pool is drained.
In most cases, to clear all the overlays on an MKMapView (named mapView in this sample), I'd do something like the following:
for (id<MKOverlay> overlayToRemove in mapView.overlays)
{
   if ([overlayToRemove isKindOfClass:[OverlayClassToRemove class]])
   {
       [mapView removeOverlay:overlayToRemove];
   }
}

A: When you call removeOverlays:, the map view will release the MKOverlay and MKOverlayView objects.
You hold your own references to these in _routeLine and _routeLineView.
After removeOverlays: is called, your variables will be pointing to already-released memory.  When you re-create the polyline, you are over-releasing which then results in a crash.
So remove the release calls:
if (_routeLine != nil) {
    [_routeLine release];  // <-- remove this
    self.routeLine = nil;
}

if (_routeLineView != nil) {
    [_routeLineView release];  // <-- remove this
    self.routeLineView = nil;
}

A: Swift 3 extenstion
extension MKMapView
{
    func removeAllOverlay(){
        for overlay:MKOverlay in self.overlays  {
            self.remove(overlay)
        }
    }

}

This article analyses the negotiation strategy of the Palestine Liberation Organization regarding the refugee issue in the failed Israeli–Palestinian peace process from 1993 to 2001. It is argued that the PLO was on the brink of conceding the 'right of return' for the sake of territorial concessions from Israel. The author discusses the implications of this strategy for the domestic legitimacy of the Palestinian leadership, as giving up the right of return would violate a core tenet in Palestinian national mythology. The PLO negotiators tried to solve that dilemma by, first, separating the principle of return from its implementation—making it possible for the PLO to remain committed to the principle, while offering compromises on physical return—and, second, by demanding symbolic gestures from Israel, including acknowledgment of Israel's historic responsibility for the refugee problem. It is argued that Israel's refusal to offer a minimum of face-saving gestures prevented the PLO from formalizing its compromise proposal.
