Housing Voucher Controversy Debated Before Baltimore County Council
WYPR - 88.1 FM Baltimore | By John Lee
Published October 29, 2019 at 11:23 PM EDT
It was standing room only in the Baltimore County Council Chambers Tuesday afternoon, as the council heard from both sides of the controversial issue of housing vouchers.
Meantime, the odds may be improving that the legislation will pass the county council when it comes up for a vote next week.
The legislation would require landlords to accept housing vouchers, also known as section 8.
The debate boiled down to this. Opponents of the legislation said it should be up to property owners whether they accept housing vouchers. Supporters countered that rejecting people because they are poor and use a voucher amounts to discrimination.
And it boiled over when a disabled veteran, Jill Williams, told the council that she had been repeatedly denied an apartment because of her voucher. Councilwoman Cathy Bevins asked opponents of the legislation that would protect voucher holders to stand up.
Bevins asked, "Which one of you want to look at Ms. Williams and tell her she can't live next door to you?"
That caused opponents of the legislation to shout "shame on you" at Bevins and she gave it right back to them.
"Shame on you, not shame on me," Bevins said.
Bevins calling out the opponents may be significant because she, along with Council Chairman Tom Quirk, are the two council members who are publicly undecided on the legislation. Both will need to support it for it to pass.
After the hearing, Bevins said she remains undecided, but she is planning to offer an amendment to try to get the legislation through. People who own just a handful of apartments would be exempt and would not have to accept vouchers.
Bevins said, "In conversations with people, this kept coming up when I would go to community meetings saying, 'look I just own that one house or two houses and I just don't think that's fair. I do not want to be in a contract with the government.'"
But during the hearing, that idea was rejected by Yara Cheikh, who supports the legislation as is. Cheikh told the council she's a landlord with several apartments in the county.
"Whether it's the federal government, or the state government or the local government, it makes me a better landlord to have to bring something up to code," Cheikh said.
Opponents of the legislation said it's a business issue, not a moral one. Aaron Greenfeld, with the Maryland Multi-Housing Association, said the red tape that comes with housing vouchers is costly because it can delay apartments being available for weeks.
"This takes units off the market," Greenfeld said. "It results in significant delay not just to the residential housing provider but more frankly to the tenant."
Wayne Slaboda blamed voucher holders for not taking care of their apartments and driving down housing values in neighborhoods.
"And unfortunately and I could take you all over Dundalk if you would like to follow me and show you what section 8 does," Slaboda said.
But Marsha Parham-Green with the county housing office said that people who complain to the county often are mistaken about who holds a voucher.
"On average we get anywhere from five to ten complaints and out of a month long of complaints we might have one person that was participating in the housing trace voucher program," Parham-Green said.
County Administrative Officer Stacy Rodgers told the council of the 5600 voucher holders in the county, 94 percent have jobs, are disabled or are seniors.
The county council is scheduled to vote on the issue next Monday.
County Executive Johnny Olszewski wants the legislation to pass as is with no amendments. Otherwise, he said, it may be rejected by the Department of Housing and Urban Development. The legislation is part of an agreement with HUD that settled a discrimination complaint against the county.

Dispatch from the Twitterverse
Honey badgers and people you wish you were friends with: Our favorite Dallasites on Twitter now

Ever been on a conference call that seems as though it'll never end? Do you take long walks between your parking spot and your office desk? How about twiddling your thumbs, desperately looking for an escape while on the worst date ever?
These are all hypothetical situations that I know nothing about. But if you have experienced any of them, then you are a perfect candidate for Twitter. Don't let the latest Twitter scandal scare you away. Texas Rangers pitcher Derek Holland's experience notwithstanding, Twitter is a pretty safe place to be.
It's been said that Facebook houses all the friends you've got, and Twitter houses the friends you wish you had. And it's so true.
There for you when it's raining, sunny and even (we have to assume since we're not too terribly familiar with this stuff) in the snow, Twitter is a home away from home for some of us.
I'm not comfortable calling myself a Twitter expert just yet, but I do love it, which means I get my fair share of Twitter questions. Here are but a few:
"What's the use?" Duh, everyone knows this! (Actually, I'm not entirely sure. But I like it.)
"Can I just get a screen name and secretly spy on people?" Well, yes. But by law of the Twitterverse, he who doth not tweet shalt not exact judgment on those who do.
"How do I get more followers?" If you're interesting, they'll find you.
"Is it better than texting?" Whoa, watch yourself.
"Who should I be following?" Now that, my friends, I can answer.
The Twitterverse is thriving in Dallas
You may be surprised to learn there are some very interesting and 140-character savants walking among you. And my job, as I've just created it, is to uncover individuals worthy of your Twitter feed and tell you about them.
Here's a list of fellow Dallasites I'm following right now:
@Plesko — I spotted Ryan's tweets while at the TEDxSMU conference last year. If you follow him, he'll point you to some really interesting things. He's the chief creative officer for a company here in Dallas, which means he's rarely at a loss for witty words. Follow him if your friends are boring and you want to mingle (at least in the online sense) with someone who can up your cerebral street cred.
@OhSoCynthia — You know that friend you always wish you had? Yeah, Cynthia is probably it. You're going to want to follow Cynthia if you need a recap of the city's most desirable "I wish I was on that guest list" events. Because she was there. Wearing something fabulous. Be warned, if you've told someone you're washing your hair that night, and you wind up hanging out with Cynthia at a shindig, you could land on the front page and totally blow your cover.
@RealPoshMom — This tweet-savvy mother is passionately involved in the community, and if you decide to follow her, she'll be one of your most dependable tweeters. (She's posted over 30k tweets!) She'll give you an insider look at how a mom can get a lot done in 168 hours. (That's a week in case you're wondering.) And I suspect if you follow her, you'll not only get some great mom-related advice, but also be motivated to start working on your checklist too.
@DallasSocials — In writing this article, I spent a good amount of time getting lost amid the tweets from @DallasSocials, which seem to be coming from @QuarterJap, who manages this account. If you follow them, you run the risk of wanting to be somewhere else. Like, at the cool new neighborhood bar, the opening of a new restaurant or event at the museum. If you need a harsh reminder that other people are going out and having fun while you're on the couch, or you need something out-of-the-box to do, follow this one.
@FoodBitch — Somehow, I feel like if you linger too long on her Twitter feed, you'll get cussed out. But that's what make Food Bitch so <bleeping> cool. She's akin to an online honey badger with a very fine palate. If you want some insider tips on where to snag great Dallas eats (or not), you should follow her.
@Gabdraney — Did you know that Dallas is starting to emerge as a really great place to start a startup? Well it is. And you know how that happened? It's due in large part to a group called Tech Wildcatters. This Forbes Top 10 Accelerator Program parks itself right here in our fair city and welcomes entrepreneurs near and far. If you follow @Gabdraney (one of the founders), you'll be in the know on this growing scene.
@AdamDonaghey — He's the co-founder of the historic Texas Theatre in Oak Cliff, an obvious foodie with a preference toward, it seems, Tex-Mex. (Check his tweets for confirmation.) If you'll allow him, Adam will gladly serve as your go-to resource for all things film. You will feel more cultured if you merely read his tweets.
@JoshHenderson — This is a total cheat, but I did it anyway. I mean, he's in the show Dallas. That has to count for something. He just started filming the next season here in town, so if you're craving a celeb sighting and your next Facebook profile pic with a hot — I mean talented — actor, you'll have decent chances if you follow this one.
See? Twitter is fun.

Sign the petition and save this street artwork!
Amsterdam Street Art
Street art is becoming very influential. Artists turning cities in open air galleries everywhere in the world. Cities inviting these creative minds to transform their streets into something beautiful attracting visitors from all over the world. Some of these artworks start a controversia like the recent Banksy in Talbot, where the owner has to guard his garage day and night to prevent the artwork being 'stolen'. Recently the Antwerp artist Joachim got himself in a media storm when his artwork of a cat was removed in Chichester.
Chichester King of Cats
Joachim's King of Cats
In October 2017 Joachim visited Chichester, a small southern English town between Portsmouth and Brighton, painting a giant cat in his typical style. Renamed "The King of Cats" by the community was mysteriously overpainted in December. The whole community was in grief and disappointed that it was actually the city council who ordered it to be removed. They apparently received some complaints about the artwork attracting anti-social behavior and acted upon it, without taking the community in consideration. They hauled Joachim back, a local newspaper started a vote and 92% of the 4000 votes asked for a new Joachim mural. Joachim came back and painted a giant dog, naming him "the Watchdog" who'll guard the community and sniff out the anti-social behavior.
The Watchdog by Joachim
Fishy business?
Only last week another Joachim animal got in center of attention. This time in his hometown Antwerp, where he painted this giant fish. The owner asked to give her house and the whole street some extra color, so Joachim decided to Paint a giant fish this time. Unfortunately she forgot to ask for a permit, in an attempt to set things straight she got a negative decision. She has to repaint her wall or risk a €400.000 fine. Instead of rolling on her back, she started an online petition. Only a few days ago and with the support of Street Art Antwerp, who gladly shared the news, more than 1000 people signed it and shared it on social media. Now the local media picked it up and even more people raised their eyebrows and supported the crusade. So again the community disapproves the decision by administration and gives street art a voice. Hopefully the artwork can be saved. You can still sign the petition here.
Save this fish by signing the petition!
Permits Agreed the owner should have asked permission, but now and then the administration of cities couldn't be more wrong in following their protocols blindfolded. Making decisions without understanding the cultural or community value of street art. They look at it as 'paint' and following the procedures they give a negative advice. It's time the city administration takes a closer look at these beautifying projects and start treating them more than just a stroke of paint. Clear guidelines must be set to help the community, you can't praise street art on one side and condemn it on the other. But what's really striking is the engagement of the community revolting against narrowminded decisions. It's clear people love these colors in their streets and support the artists who created them.
More info and outcome on this story on FB Page of Street Art Antwerp.
This article was written by Tim. All his free time goes to street art. Starting as a die hard street art hunter he documented over 300 artworks in and around Antwerp and tries to visit other cities as much as he can. He's the driving force behind www.streetartantwerp.com, and since 2016 he organizes street art tours during the weekends.
It doesn't stop there as he facilitated 30+ new walls in Antwerp by getting permissions, scoring budgets to pay for lifts and materials. He's also the co-organizes the Tizarte 3D Street Art Festival.
Next to his local work he's also the co-founder of the international Street Art Cities network, where he runs the community and the socials and is in contact with 300+ hunters from all over the world. So if anything happens in the worldwide street art community he knows about it fast.

This is the first time a drone has been refueled in midair
Image: U.S. Navy
By Chris Grasinger 2015-04-24 18:06:34 UTC
We've seen it happen before on manned aircraft, but during a test flight on Wednesday, an unmanned U.S. Navy X-47B aircraft was refueled in midair. It was the first ever autonomous aerial refueling (commonly known as AAR) of an unmanned aircraft while in flight.
The drone received more than 4,000 pounds of fuel from an Omega K-707 tanker over the coast of Maryland. And that's not even the first record a X-47B has set; in 2013, it became the first drone to land and take off from an aircraft carrier.

Gedeon Richter () este cel mai mare producător de produse farmaceutice din Ungaria.

Gedeon Richter în România
Compania Gedeon Richter este prezentă și în România, unde este singurul jucător farma integrat pe verticală pe piața locală, deținând operațiuni de producție (fostul Armedica), distribuție (Pharmafarm și Dita Import Export) și retail (farmaciile Richter).
Compania deține la Târgu-Mureș o unitate de producție, care a raportat pentru 2007 vânzări de 25,8 milioane de dolari.

Gedeon Richter și-a început activitatea de producție în România în 1998, odată cu achiziția fabricii Armedica din Târgu-Mureș.
În septembrie 2003, grupul ungar a fuzionat cu subsidiara sa, formând Gedeon Richter Romania SA.
În același timp, compania are o reprezentanță proprie pe piața românească, Richter Gedeon, care administrează portofoliul de medicamente importate din Ungaria, în special pe segmentul de contraceptive orale.

În decembrie 2006, Gedeon Richter a cumpărat compania românească de distribuție de medicamente Dita Group pentru suma de 14,5 milioane de euro, obținând o cotă de piață de 4,5% în România, cu acoperire națională și o rețea de aproximativ 60 de farmacii.
În mai 2007, Dita Import-Export a fuzionat prin absorbție cu companiile Sibofarm Sibiu, Activ Pharma, TMT și ABC Farm (cumpărate anterior de Gedeon Richter) și cu alte două firme pe care le deținea înainte de tranzacția cu Gedeon Richter, Dita Farm Sud și Dita Farm Impex.

În octombrie 2007, Gedeon Richter a preluat lanțul românesc de distribuție de medicamente Pharmafarm.

În august 2010, compania avea un număr de 120 de farmacii.

Cifra de afaceri:
 2009: 159,9 milioane euro
 2007: 140 milioane dolari

PharmaFarm
Distribuitorul de medicamente PharmaFarm a realizat în 2005 o cifră de afaceri de 124 milioane lei (34,2 milioane euro), în creștere cu aproximativ 27% față de 2004.
La sfârșitul lui 2005 compania deținea o cotă de 3,4% pe piața românească.

The Tripartite Social Summit is a forum for dialogue between EU institutions at presidential level and European social partners at top management level. The summit is co-chaired by the President of the European Council, the President of the European Commission, and the head of state or government of the rotating presidency. The participating social partners are:
BusinessEurope, which represents business federations in 34 European countries;
European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC);
European Centre of Employers and Enterprises (CEEP);
European Association of Craft, Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (UEAPME);
Council of European Professional and Managerial Staff (Eurocadres).
The Tripartite Social Summit acts as a bridge between the different processes of concertation and enables the social partners to contribute, in an integrated way, to the different components of the Europe 2020 strategy. There are four fields in which tripartite concertation takes place:
macroeconomic issues;
employment issues;
social protection issues;
education and training issues.
The conclusions of the Nice European Council of December 2000 provided for an annual meeting of the social partners before the spring European Council. In its 2002 Communication on the European social dialogue, the European Commission supported the establishment of a Tripartite Social Summit for Growth and Employment, bringing together the Troika, the Commission President and a restricted delegation of social partners. This would replace the Standing Committee on Employment, on the basis that it would provide an informal arena for discussing the social partners' contribution to the Lisbon Strategy.
The Council's decision to establish the Tripartite Social Summit represented an important political step, which set European-level tripartite concertation within a new framework. The first formal Tripartite Social Summit for Growth and Employment took place in 2003, when the social partners reported on how they were contributing to the Lisbon Strategy through their own initiatives.
The Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) reinforces the importance of the Tripartite Social Summit by stating in Article 152 that:
the Union recognises and promotes the role of the social partners at its level, taking into account the diversity of national systems. It shall facilitate dialogue between the social partners, respecting their autonomy. The Tripartite Social Summit for Growth and Employment shall contribute to social dialogue.
The theme of the most recent Tripartite Social Summit, held on 18 October 2017, was 'Shaping Europe's future: Strengthening resilience and promoting economic and social progress for all'. Discussions focused on three areas:
the social dimension of Europe;
progress achieved and ways to improve involvement of social partners in policies and reforms at national level;
investing in learning in a digital economy and society.

Varanger Fjord is one of those destinations that you can visit time and time again and never get bored of it and for many years now, it has featured in my annual itinerary of birding tours. It is an amazing place, with wall-to-wall birding virtually 24/7 in the summertime and unique in its Arctic avian attractions.
Tormod Amundsen lives in Varanger and for the first time, he and his team in Biotope, a pro-nature architectural practise based in Vardo, have put together a detailed site guide to the area - an essential companion for any birdwatcher thinking of holidaying in the area. Varanger is actually the World's easiest accessible Arctic birding destination and is far NE Norway. It is one of the most northernmost inhabited places in the world and lies at around 70 degrees north (in line with Point Barrow in Alaska) bordering both Finland and Russia and the Barents Sea.
The book is wonderful and for me, a trip down memory lane. It is decorated throughout by lavish colour and incorporates Tormod's unique trademark drone landcape & scenery photography from cover-to-cover. Biotope's other speciality - hide design - also features throughout, many of these being utilised in the stunning site portraits. The book concentrates on the three key areas of the Norwegian Arctic - Pasvik, the Varanger Peninsula and the Nordkyn Peninsula - incorporating the Arctic Coastline, Tundra and Taiga habitats. There is a month-by-month summary, giving an idea of optimum timings - eg, March/April best time for wintering Steller's and King Eiders, May for White-billed Divers and October for Glaucous Gulls, as well as an excellent array of local maps and an extremely useful guide to accommodation online addresses and car hire operatives.
Pages 26-167 then concentrate on the site guide proper, detailing 7 sites in South Varanger in the Kirkenes District, and then over 35 locations on the Varanger Peninsula. The maps are very highly detailed and for each site, a comprehensive list of the birds & mammals expected to be seen is included. Despite birding in the area on numerous occasions and knowing it well and its birds, I was truly impressed by the number of sites that I did not know about, making me harp for an opportunity to test them out. For example, I hadn't realised that Neiden chapel was one of the best places for Arctic Warbler and that they rarely arrive before 20th June! It also cited many more sites for Willow Ptarmigan and Capercaillie than I currently have, some great new birdfeeders sites such as those in Svanvik and 'new' sites for mammals such as Brown Bear, Wolverine and European Lynx at Skogfoss. I just can't wait to try the book out, it is such a hive of information!
Following on from the location breakdowns is the Varanger Bird Checklist - highlighting all 320 species that have been recorded in the principality.
I just cannot fault this site guide - it is absolutely brilliant; I cannot recommend it highly enough.


More with Music: I learn something new every day!
February was packed with many songs and many music therapy sessions for me. I always wonder where all the time goes, but I have yet to figure that out.
One of the great things about working in a public school system is that I find myself learning something new every day. Recently, I learned that there are more than four oceans. That's right- now there's five! (I was amazed, intrigued,shocked,etc. too!) But, after double checking the info, I discovered it to be true. The 5 oceans are the Arctic Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, Indian Ocean, Pacific Ocean, and Southern Ocean.
A couple of years ago, I wrote and recorded a song to help students learn that there were four oceans. Today I'm sharing the most recent version of that song, which includes the fifth ocean.
As always, thanks for stopping by and stay tuned for another post next week.

I am not a big candy consumer, but I do know what constitutes a pleasant candy experience and what does not. This may seem to be a trivial topic but I feel it is one we can all relate to to some degree. Just sit back and relax as I review some of the most cherished and infamous confections of our time.
Lets start with the Chick-O-Sticks. I haven't seen this one around for 20 years, but it is kind of like a butterfinger without the chocolate, but way messier. I like the taste, but it is a crumb explosion waiting to happen. Next would be Red Hots. I would also put all hot candy in this category. Anything that burns your mouth and causes you to panic while you are eating it should not be considered candy. Black Licorice would be next in all of it's evil forms. I think Good and Plenty are black licorice coated in liquid paper. Black licorice is a favorite for people with completely screwed up taste buds. When I think of black licorice one work comes to mind: Bile. Jaw Breakers are the next ridiculous candy, especially the big ones you have to hold with both hands and lick like a cow. Anything that takes you days to eat can not be that good. Reece's Peanut Butter Cups are a favorite for many people, but these always burn my throat and give me heartburn. They are just too rich and oily. They are like a brownie mix in a candy wrapper. It also reminds me of slurping oysters when I see people slide them into their mouths off the paper cup. Raisinets, Goobers, or Snowcaps have to be some of the worst ever. They are all brought to you by the same company that only knows how to make gross candy. Laffy Taffy is nothing more than sugar coated in petroleum lubricant wrapped in lame jokes. I have never been a fan of Jelly Beans especially at Easter. I can't stand the texture of chewing course sugar as it dissolves in your mouth. Cotton Candy is a freak's treat. I associate this abomination with cob webs and old lady's hair (unless you are an old lady with pink or blue hair, then I only associate it with cobwebs). I try to avoid anything prepared by a Carnie. Hersheys special dark chocolate is always the last choice of the 4 different fun sized flavors. Just eat a teaspoon of baking cocoa instead because it tastes the same. Charleston Chew doesn't taste bad, but when you bite it and it stretches, the outer chocolate shell disintegrates into small pieces that falls into your lap while you are driving. By the time you get to your location the small chocolate pieces you are now sitting on have melted and are stuck to your pants. I will never fall for that prank candy again, but at least I'm not holding a grudge. My final least favorite treat is Turkish Delight. Luckily it is only popular in strange lands like Turkey, Canada, or Narnia.
To end on a positive note I would like to mention some good candy. If a candy could be a super hero these would be the Superfriends. Sweet's milk chocolate covered orange sticks, Toblerones, Kit Kats, Twix, Almond Joy, Symphony Bars, Gummi Bears, Twizzlers, Junior Mints, and Hersheys Kisses with almonds. The joy these bring the world counterbalances the evil from the previously mentioned Legion of Doom candies. I also accept any of these good choices in lieu of your membership fees for reading my blog.
During the 1997 All Star Weekend, the NBA came out with their list of the greatest 50 players of All Time. I agreed with most of the recipients, but I feel that some players got ripped off (Dominique Wilkins, Maurice Cheeks, Gary Payton). Ever since then I have thought about what criteria should be used to determine the greatest players. Is it winning championships, being an All-Star, holding league records or just having a long and successful career? I've been working on this for years and I came up with a formula to help determine who the greatest players are. I used a point system and gave players varying points for each of the following categories: 1) each year they played in the NBA, 2) every year they were selected as an All-Star, 3) each championship they earned, 4) each MVP, and 5) for being in the top all time leaders for Points, Rebounds, Blocks, Assists, and Steals.
As suspected many of the old timers no longer qualify for the top 50 since it has been 10 years and younger players have climbed the ranks and taken their place during this time. I don't mean to disrespect any of the legends who had previously been voted in, but some of them simply did not belong to begin with. Billy Cunningham and David Bing? Come on! As much as I like Pistol Pete, he just didn't have the numbers to justify the honor either. I thought Shaq was awarded the honor prematurely. He has obviously earned it now, but it would be like saying Lebron James is one of the 50 greatest players before he proves anything. After compiling my spreadsheet results I still did not agree with some of the rankings because there are just some intangibles that are hard to quantify. Kareem actually came out with the highest total of all players according to the formula. For anyone interested in seeing the exact number totals and ranks of the top 75 players of all time, I would be glad to share it with you, but in the mean time I have listed my version of the 50 greatest players. The players in bold are new to the top 50 from the original list.

Q: Unexpected results from Swift is Operator I'm trying to understand where this code went wrong given the code below.
In the code below, I'm trying to locate a UIViewController of a specific class in the UITabBarController's viewControllers property which is declared as:
var viewControllers: [AnyObject]?

So I'm defining two UIViewController subclasses and stuffing them to the viewControllers array and running two different methods to extract them "viewControllerInfo:" ""viewControllerInfo2".
Which both yield the same result.
My understanding is the:
if let x as? T will evaluate true and assign x as a "T" type if it is the same class.
Just as if x is T would.
Any idea why evaluation is behaving like this ?
class VC1: UIViewController {}

class VC2: UIViewController {}

let tabBar = UITabBarController()
tabBar.viewControllers = [VC1(), VC2()]

extension UITabBarController {

    public func viewControllerInfo<T: UIViewController>(ofType: T.Type) -> (viewController: T,index: Int)? {
        if let tabViewControllers = self.viewControllers{
            for  (idx, maybeVCTypeT) in enumerate(tabViewControllers) {
                if let viewController = maybeVCTypeT as? T {
                    return (viewController, idx)
                }
            }

        }
        return nil
    }

    public func viewControllerInfo2<T: UIViewController>(ofType: T.Type) -> (viewController: T,index: Int)? {
        if let tabViewControllers = self.viewControllers{
            for  (idx, maybeVCTypeT) in enumerate(tabViewControllers) {
                if maybeVCTypeT is T {
                    return (maybeVCTypeT as! T, idx)
                }
            }

        }
        return nil
    }

}

All the tests below will end up giving exactly the same result:
"<__lldb_expr_89.VC1: 0x7f85016079f0>"
if let (vc, idx) = tabBar.viewControllerInfo(VC1.self) {
    println(vc)
}

if let (vc, idx) = tabBar.viewControllerInfo(VC2.self) {
    println(vc)
}

if let (vc, idx) = tabBar.viewControllerInfo2(VC1.self) {
    println(vc)
}

if let (vc, idx) = tabBar.viewControllerInfo2(VC2.self) {
    println(vc)
}

I'm suspicious of the enumerate(x) since without it I'm getting expected results:
if testVC1 is VC2 {
    println("\(testVC1) is \(VC2.self)")
}

the above code yields a warning:

Cast from 'VC1' to unrelated type 'VC2' always fails
  Which is what i'm trying to achieve with enumerate...

***************** EDIT *****************
Actually my suspicion of enumerate is dissolved after running the following code which ran perfectly.
let myArray: [AnyObject] = [VC2(), VC1()]
for (idx, x) in enumerate(myArray) {
    println(x)
    if let xAsVC1 = x as? VC1 {
        println("\(x) is supposed to be \(VC1.self)")
//"<__lldb_expr_155.VC1: 0x7fc12a9012f0> is supposed to be __lldb_expr_155.VC1"

    }

    if x is VC2 {
        println("\(x) is supposed to be \(VC2.self)")
//"<__lldb_expr_155.VC2: 0x7fc12a900fd0> is supposed to be __lldb_expr_155.VC2"

    }
}

A: This seems to be caused by the generic constraint, and I believe is a bug (http://www.openradar.me/22218124). Removing the generic constraint, or making it a non-ObjC class (such as AnyObject) seems to fix it:
public func viewControllerInfo<T>(ofType: T.Type) -> (viewController: T,index: Int)? {

You can also replace:
            if maybeVCTypeT is T {

with:
            if maybeVCTypeT.isKindOfClass(T) {

And that seems to work.

Ranganatha Temple and its exquisite carving
By AndhraTourism April 23, 2021 Temples, Tourist Places 0 Comments
The temple is inherently the style of a customary Dravidian temple. The principal temple, called Ranganatha Perumal Temple, reveres a picture of Vishnu as Ranganatha – the chair.
The Sri Ranganathaswamy Temple is a Hindu temple dedicated to Ranganatha, a form of the Supreme God, Maha Vishnu, located in Srirangam. The directing god is said to have been blessed by the Hindu symbol Ramavarma, one of the celebrated Alwars or Nayanars (ninth century CE). A covered Gopuram (entrance tower) of the temple ascends to a tallness of 71 feet. The temple likewise houses four different sanctums committed to the Alwars – Thirumangai Alwar, Sundarar, Bhoothathalwar, and Appar.
Ranganatha Temple
Ranganatha Temple in Srirangam is a sacrosanct sanctuary situated in the town of Srirangam in Tamil Nadu. It is decorated with refined carvings and figures all through its primary sanctum and regions. The temple is quite possibly the most worshipped Hindu temple in South India. It is one of the 108 Divya Desams committed to Vishnu, who is revered as Ranganatha in this temple.
The picture cherished at Ranganatha Temple is supposed to be that of Vishnu as he was during his symbol, Ramavarma, who blessed it in the ninth century CE. The temple is likewise called Thiruvaranganam, Ranganayaki Thurai, and Rangam. The managing divinity is loved in the seventh century Tamil Saiva standard work, the "Tevaram", composed by Tamil holy person artists known as the Nayanars (sixth – ninth century CE), as Thirumangai Alwar.
Ranganatha Temple Treasures
Ranganatha Temple has some dazzling carvings on its dividers and columns, in common South Indian engineering style. The site of this temple is uncommon as it is situated in the core of the city. Its importance has been seen during the previous five centuries. Ranganatha Temple has a few objects of a workmanship fortune, models and pieces with scenes from Hindu legends, and paintings portraying scenes from different stories like Ramayana, Mahabharata, and Bhagavata.
The temple is likewise noted for its day-by-day assortments of aficionados offering blossoms (palms) during the day. The temple has every one of the necessary offices like a library, assembly room, school, and clinical focus. It is the most well-known journey community for fans of Lord Vishnu.
Ranganatha Temple UNESCO
As a feature of its engraving in the rundown of World Heritage Sites, UNESCO has mentioned that the Tamil Nadu government attempts preservation measures related to UNESCO to Protect and Preserve parts of this temple mind-boggling and won the UNESCO grant in 2017.

Supernatural: Jensen Ackles will keep the Chevy Impala at the end of the shooting
Photo: The CW
If there's one iconic object that is unmistakably part of the Supernatural series after fifteen years, it is the Chevrolet Impala driven by the Winchester brothers. The car that Dean (Jensen Ackles) affectionately calls Baby is about to leave the set of the series to go home with… Jensen Ackles. A fair reward for the actor who has had his eye on the car since the beginning of the series as he told Digital Spy.
"As far as taking something on the final day, I will definitely be taking something that I've had my eye on since day one of Supernatural, But it's okay, I'm not stealing it. I got permission. I begged and begged and pleaded for years, but I finally got it this year. They're going to let me drive home the Impala" Jensen Ackles told the American media.
For his part, Jared Padalecki, the actor who plays Sam Winchester, said: "I was going to steal the Men of Letter's bunker, but it wouldn't fit in my car sadly. But I have a few trinkets here and there that I hope to hold dear forever and ever".
The final episodes of Supernatural will be released on October 8th. If nothing unexpected happens, the final episode of the series will air on November 19, 2020. An episode that promises to do justice to the characters according to the actors who play the Winchester brothers.

The A8-7670K can certainly cope with basic computing and some simple gaming, but this chip is relatively dear for what it is, and it's really more for laptop users.
Let us tell you about the experience we had reviewing AMD's A8-7670K APU. It came in a tiny little white box. Presumably not the retail packaging. God, let's hope not. Though judging by AMD's lack of marketing share, this could be the real deal. It's not possible to tell whether the 7670K went to another reviewer before us. Anyway, after setting up our standard test platform, we installed the chipset and began our preliminary testing.
Overall, the processor has a total of two computational cores, providing four threads. Say what you like about compute cores, AMD, but Prime95 and Cinebench don't lie to us, and this processor is quite the slow processor. Unfortunately, with 60% of the CPU taken up by the graphical side of things, the overall performance in these applications is still quite limited.
That explains why, even though the 7670K clocks an average of 3.6GHz at max, we achieved some pretty mediocre benchmarks when it came to computational tasks. In fact, we left it to complete our 30GB archive test, but after taking 30 minutes to complete 49%, we figured it would be a better use of our time to stop the process and continue with our other benchmarks instead.
So began the task of installing the Nvidia GeForce GTX 980 (which we use on all of our standardised reviews) alongside AMD's latest offering. We throw the card in. It boots, freezes, then black screens. And won't pick up the display under any other circumstance.
Why are we bringing this up? Well, this is all part of the user experience. You'll hear people mention how you're meant to drop as much money as you can into the GPU and not the CPU. But perhaps you decided to take an entry-level Nvidia GPU with your cheap-as chips AMD processor. In which case, you may very well face these same problems we're facing here. It's unfortunate, but we push on, now only being able to complete a moderate portion of our benchmarks.
The biggest problem here is the fact this is still a processor based off an almost five-year-old architecture. It's only 28nm. It has limited SATA 6GB/s support – and continues to only support DDR3 up to 2,133MHz, even though it's the one platform that would benefit the most from those increased memory speeds.
The list goes on. Intel may only be upping performance by 10% every year or so, but the most vital thing it's including is chipset updates. This forces manufacturers to update their mobos, and in turn provide extra expansion, storage options and more modern features. Hell, it's worth it if only for the design reboots a lot of these boards get.
In gaming, the situation isn't much better. Yes, you can run titles like Dota 2 at acceptable frame rates at 1080p (if 20-30fps is acceptable to you), but unless you're only playing simple games and MOBAs, you're not going to get much joy from it. For comparison, in Shadow of Mordor it achieved an average frame rate of just 4fps at 1080p. A GTX 950 managed an average of 33fps.
