Nigel Flaxton enjoyed a satisfying career in education covering the second half of the 20th century, This is an account of some of his experiences from old-fashioned monastic seclusion in training college just after the Second World War to three headships of new schools, the last being an upper school of over 900 students. Written with gentle humour, often at his own expense, he also comments on the very considerable changes in education in a broad sense during that period. He includes nearly two years in the RAF, to which he was frustratingly called up shortly after he qualified and his unprecedented promotion to Sergeant after one year. .Following what he expected was retirement he continued with government initiatives encouraging greater use of modern technology in schools, then further part-time support to schools using timetable software. This is not just a book for professionals. It will be of interest to anyone who enjoys reading other people's personal memoirs, especially someone with an obvious sense of humour.
Nigel Flaxton
Nigel Flaxton served in schools in six counties, having first gained a Year Prize at College. He has an honours degree in the Sociology of Education.

Swedish banks linked to the war in Yemen
The seven largest banks in Sweden continue to finance and invest billions in companies involved in controversial arms exports, for example to countries participating in the Yemen conflict. This is shown in a follow-up report by Diakonia and the Fair Finance Guide.

Swedish banks are linked to arms deals such as exports of grenade launchers and combat command centers to the United Arab Emirates, and engines to fighter aircraft in Saudi Arabia. Both countries are fighting parties to the Yemen conflict, where people flee from air strikes and bomb attacks in what the UN calls the world's largest humanitarian crisis. The role of the banks are assessed in the follow-up report Deadly Investments - Swedish banks' financial links to companies involved in controversial arms trade.
According to the report, the seven banks (Danske Bank, Handelsbanken, Länsförsäkringar, Nordea, SEB, Skandia and Swedbank) still have financial links to a total of 15 companies involved in controversial arms exports. These are companies that export weapons-related products to countries that are classified as authoritarian regimes, violate human rights or are involved in armed conflicts.
"The banks have the responsibility to ensure that peoples' savings do not support arms exports to countries that oppress their populations or participate in armed conflict including the war in Yemen," says Penny Davies, policy adviser at the aid organization Diakonia.
In total, the seven banks' funds invested SEK 4.6 billion in the companies, as of year-end 2018/2019. In addition, four of the banks (SEB, Danske Bank, Nordea and Swedbank) have also provided loans and other financing services to six of the companies, worth a total of SEK 20.7 billion. In total, this amounts to over SEK 25 billion, of which SEK 23 billion went to companies that have exported various types of military equipment to the warring parties in the Yemen conflict.
Some improvements made but breaching their own guidelines
Since the last review in 2016, some progress has been made. The banks' total investments in the companies have decreased and all the banks have improved their guidelines on controversial arms exports. At the same time, the report shows that four of the banks (Länsförsäkringar, SEB, Skandia and Swedbank) are in breach of their own guidelines, and thus their promises to the bank clients. At SEB and Danske Bank, some of the companies were also found in the banks' ethical and sustainability funds.
It is also noteworthy that the banks support the companies in more ways than through investments, e.g. loans.
"The fact that the banks provide loans to the arms companies is even worse than their investments. These loans help the companies to finance their operations. The banks should place much higher demands on companies in order for them to borrow money. Many bank customers would also appreciate that", says Jakob König, researcher and project manager for the Fair Finance Guide at the Swedish Consumers' Association.
The assessment is limited to the banks' fund investments and loans and other financing services (bond issuance) to 15 selected arms companies at year-end 2018/2019. The arms companies have exported weapons to 49 countries during the period 2014-2018, which are considered to be particularly controversial destinations for arms exports.

IT shops in Canada are showing a healthy uptake of new and improved network technologies designed for faster connectivity and increased capacity, wireless mobility and enhanced security.
Network World Canada recently conducted a Hewlett-Packard ProCurve-sponsored survey of 272 Canadian CIOs, systems administrators and network managers to determine the latest trends in networking technology and IT spending.
The results reveal that Canadian companies are moving towards Gigabit Ethernet speeds to connect their servers, more than half have gone wireless and that security and manageability are the two most influential factors in IT spending.
Almost 80 per cent of respondents say they have hooked up at least a portion of their server clusters with gigabit-per-second Ethernet capability. The vast majority of machines are still using 10/100Mbps connectivity, however.
The study's findings clearly show that mainstream adoption of 10Gbps Ethernet (10GigE) is a while away yet.
Most organizations (185, or 68 per cent) report that not one of their servers is connected via 10GigE. And of the 24 per cent that are, 19 per cent say they are using 10GigE for less than 10 per cent of their servers.
Packets of data running at 1Gbps are more widespread, with 12 per cent of IT shops having implemented Gigabit Ethernet in more than 75 per cent of their servers.
The majority (173 users, or 60 per cent) have 1Gbps throughput in less than half of their servers and 68 of these (25 per cent) take up 10 per cent or less of total rack space.
Canada's mobile workers are more connected than not. Wireless LANs have been implemented by 54 per cent those surveyed, and another 17 per cent say they plan to go wireless within the next two years.
The motivating drivers are improved productivity of workers (43 per cent), enabling applications that address specific business needs (36 per cent) and providing guest access (33 per cent). Some companies (19 per cent) aren't sure why they're going wireless.
Virtual private networks (VPNs) and wireless encryption standard (WEP) are the leading technologies being deployed to enable mobility, followed by wireless protected access (WPA).
The most overwhelming concern with going wireless is far and away security management, with a 91 per cent positive response rate.
More than half the organizations surveyed fear poor network performance and a third are uneasy over radio frequency interference.
In LAN equipment Cisco Systems commands 83 per cent of companies' consideration when evaluating products.
3Com is considered by 44 per cent of respondents, D-Link 39 per cent, Nortel Networks 34 per cent, HP ProCurve 26 per cent, Dell 18 per cent, Foundry 7 per cent and Extreme 4 per cent.
Canadian companies are investing in better switching technology mainly to increase network capacity (77 per cent), improve management capability (42 per cent) and decrease network downtime (40 per cent).
Enhanced security, lower operating costs, enabling new applications such as VoIP, and extending the life of the network are considerations mentioned.
The decisive factor in purchasing switches remains low pricing, which isn't surprising considering the biggest barrier in LAN investment (listed by 70 per cent of respondents) is capital funds.
A total of 45 per cent of respondents say they are more apt to look for a limited feature set at a lower entry price, with the ability to upgrade in their network equipment purchases.
Factors ranked as key in purchase decisions are cost (73 per cent), management capabilities (46 per cent), quality of service (QoS) function (34 per cent) and corporate standards (32 per cent).
Most Canadian networks, according to survey repsondents, are safeguarded with common security features like anti-virus (95 per cent), firewall and VPN (93 per cent) and anti-spam software (77 per cent), but intrusion detection (42 per cent) and prevention systems (27 per cent) have more limited deployments.

History of High Halden
High Halden comes from the Old English 'denn' meaning 'woodland, pasture' with 'ing' as a 'connective particle, linking the first and last elements' combined with a warlords name; therefore, 'woodland-pasture connected with Heathuwald'. The prefix 'high' distinguishes it from the manor in Rolvenden.
High Halden parish church is a Grade: I listed building, dedicated to Saint Mary the Virgin. The Normans built the nave, chancel and tower around 1300, with the south chapel, north transept and south aisle in the following century. Between 1609 and 1611, Joseph Hatch cast and hung a new ring of five bells. In 1798, Edward Hasted described St Mary's church as consisting of 'two isles and three chancels. The steeple is at the west end, the bottom of which is in form, five parts of an octagon, which part of it is built of upright timber planks, set close to each other; the upper part is shingled, with a pointed top, it was built in king Henry the VIth.'s reign. There are five bells in it'. In 1868, the architect George Edmund Street carried out a restoration of the High Halden church. Alfred Bowell increased the ring of bells to six with a treble in 1914.

With the countdown to the start of the Championship campaign approaching the final four days, manager Steve Lomas used a behind-closed-doors friendly against QPR on Monday night to give some of his squad crucial match minutes, and also run the rule over former West Brom defender Gianni Zuiverloon.
Midfielder Nicky Bailey was able to get his first match minutes in a Millwall shirt in a game that saw some clinical finishing by Josh Laurent and Dylan Carreiiro secure a 2-0 victory for the visitors.
Winger Lee Martin, who had been nursing a slight knee injury was also to get 45 minutes under his belt too, with Shane Lowry working his way back towards full match fitness playing until the 70th-minute mark, when he was replaced by Josh Siafa.
"It was obviously good to get Nicky Bailey out on the pitch for the first time," said manager Steve Lomas, "Both he and Lee Martin, who also got a half under his belt, are a bit behind so have a little bit of catching up to do, but yes, it was good seeing them out there along with Shane Lowry too.
At this stage it really isn't about results, it's about getting match minutes and not getting injured so tonight has been a good exercise on that front for all the senior boys that played."
Millwall: Bywater, Zuiverloon (Goodman, 70mins), Shorey, Osborne, Lowry (Siafa, 70mins), Woolford (McManus, 70mins), Bailey (Dicker, 46mins), Smith, Martin (Rees, 46mins), Easter (O'Brien, 70mins), N'Guessan.

Thai PM advised to stop the export of AstraZeneca vaccine for use domestically
Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha should exercise his powers under the National Security Act to force Siam BioScience, the local producer of the AstraZeneca vaccine, to suspend the export of the vaccine for three months and use those doses domestically instead, to contain the accelerating spread of COVID-19 infections in the country, said Dr. Manoon Leeechawengwong, a specialist in respiratory diseases at Vichaiyut Hospital, in his Facebook post today.
He pointed out that no lockdown measures, no matter how rigid they are, will stop the spread of the contagion because home has become the main breeding ground for the disease, as he suggests that the lockdown restrictions should be eased to allow some businesses to resume operations before the economy suffers even more damage.
He predicted that, in the next 100 days, half of Thailand's nearly 70 million population may be infected and unless 40-45 million Thais are vaccinated in the next 100 days, or 500,000 people per day.
Citing the 87% of efficacy of AstraZeneca in preventing death from the Delta variant, as reported in Canada, Dr. Manoon said the only way to solve the shortage of vaccine in Thailand is to stop its export, as previously proposed by another doctor, Professor Dr. Prasert Uahvarakul, of the Faculty of Medicine at Siriraj Hospital.
He said that earlier efforts by the government to convince AstraZeneca Thailand to supply more doses for domestic use have failed, blaming the government's errors in vaccine procurement and management.
Noting that Siam BioScience is producing 10 to 15 million doses of AstraZeneca viral vector vaccine each month, Dr. Manoon said that, if those doses could be diverted for domestic use for three months, Thailand would have a good chance of reducing the death toll from COVID-19 by as much as 80% and reduce the number of patients in hospitals substantially.
Even though banning the export of the vaccine will affect other countries in the region, which are contracted to receive it, he said that this is an approach which Thailand must take and he believes other countries would do the same if they were in the same situation.
One obstacle to his approach, however, is that Siam BioScience, although a fully Thai-owned company, is just a production unit of AstraZeneca Thailand, not the owner of the vaccine it produces.

Transylvania: Curses & Traitors is a heavily themed adventure and exploration game utilizing a modular board, variable player powers, hand management, and dice rolling.
Game play: The board consists of sixteen 6" x 6" tiles representing places in Transylvania such as the Church, Graveyard, and Castle.
Adventurers start on the Church Tile and explore uncovering new tiles. Each tile contains token spaces which are opportunities to perform challenges of strength, mental acuity, and spiritual fortitude. A successful challenge results in the reward of a Quest card. The Quest deck contains the Knowledge cards needed to break the curse.
While exploring Adventurers will also encounter Events. Failure of Events leads to injury and/or death while success leads to additional rewards. If Adventurers collect Transformation cards plus a card that activates the Transformation card, they become a Vampire, Werewolf, or Zombie. The goal of the game immediately changes from seeking Knowledge to eliminating the other players by attacking them.

Q: How to draw an outline around a column? I would like to draw an outline around a column. here is how my app actually looks like: https://gyazo.com/80dffe6a153e82565a610222a43e0c11
So the white column represent the day on where we are actually. But I don't really want to do that.
Actually I'm doing this:
if(column == _intOfTheDay){ //intOfTheDay represent the day one where we are actually
    cell.backgroundColor = [[UIColor whiteColor]colorWithAlphaComponent:0.95];
}

I've tried something like this to get closer of the result that I want:
if(column == _intOfTheDay){
    cell.layer.borderWidth = 5.0f;
    cell.layer.borderColor = [UIColor redColor].CGColor;
}

But the problem here (without all the bugs due to the UICollectionView) is that it draw a rectangle around each cell. And what I would like is to draw only one rectangle but around all the column.
How could I process?
Every help will be appreciated, thanks in advance.

A: If you don't want to subclass the UICollectionViewCell then use this :
float borderWidth = 5.0;
CALayer *leftBorder = [CALayer new];
leftBorder.frame = CGRectMake(0.0, 0.0, borderWidth, cell.frame.size.height);
leftBorder.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor].CGColor;
[cell.layer addSublayer:leftBorder];

CALayer *rightBorder = [CALayer new];
rightBorder.frame = CGRectMake(cell.frame.size.width - borderWidth, 0.0, borderWidth, cell.frame.size.height);
rightBorder.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor].CGColor;
[cell.layer addSublayer:rightBorder];

A: You can do something like this, set three border to first cell of column- left,right and top and for last cell of column left,right and bottom and for all middle cell left and right. you can use CALayer to set one side border like below example,
 CALayer *TopBorder = [CALayer layer];
TopBorder.frame = CGRectMake(0.0f, 0.0f, self.myImageView.frame.size.width, 3.0f);
TopBorder.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor].CGColor;
[cell.layer addSublayer:TopBorder];

I love Autumn clothing; big chunky knits, comfy tees and ankle boots are my autumn staples. This season I want to add more jumpers into the mix and try accessorising with statement necklaces and autumnal coloured nail polishes.
I have picked out a few items that I know will last me years and won't be out-dated. I have an obsession with ripped skinny jeans at the moment and these burgundy pair from Topshop do not disappoint. I have a black pair of ripped Jamie jeans (£42), I wear them constantly so I think it's time to add a new pair into my autumnal wardrobe.
Burgundy is one of my favourite autumnal colours, it's a staple block colour to have in your wardrobe all year round. I have the black version of the New York boutique top from River Island (£16), and I want to add the burgundy shade into my collection.
Chunky knits are a must when the weather gets colder, I can't wait to go shopping to pick some jumpers up to last me throughout the colder months.
I got a pair of cut-out leather boots for christmas last year and I wore them constantly throughout winter, I am going to treat myself to a new fresh pair as I know that they will last me a long time.
Buying new foundations is an obsession that I have and I have wanted the Nars sheer glow foundation (£31) for ages now. During autumn and winter I like to wear thicker foundations that last all day so I am excited to try out the Nars offering.
Have you had an autumn shopping spree yet?

Gent Dames Volley is een Belgische volleybalclub uit Gent die uitkomt in de Liga Dames van de competitie.

Geschiedenis
In 1990 werd een vzw SAGEVO (SAmenwerkingsverband GEnts VOlleybal) opgericht om de krachten te bundelen van verschillende lokale clubs. De samenwerking bleef beperkt tot VDK-Wondelgem, Nova Smash Sint-Amandsberg en de jeugdafdeling van VBK Heusden, maar in mei 1993 vervoegden ook White Star Sint-Amandsberg en VOM Gentbrugge waarna de club werd herdoopt tot VDK Gent. In 1997 werd de club opgesplitst in een dames- en herenafdeling, wat ook gebeurde bij VC Oostakker. In 1998 ontstonden door een kruislingse fusie VDK Gent - Dames en VDK Gent - Heren. De herensectie vond een nieuwe sponsor en herdoopte zicht tot Caruur Volley Gent.

Around the Pier: Scripps Oceanography/UC San Diego Unveil Revitalized Ship Facility
Grand reopening of Nimitz Marine Facility showcases new pier, other enhancements to support Scripps' research vessels
Brittany Hook
A sunny San Diego day set the stage for a ribbon-cutting ceremony on April 15 at the Nimitz Marine Facility (MarFac) in Point Loma to celebrate the completion of a five-year, $20.9 million rehabilitation project.
MarFac is the home port and technical support center for Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego's world-class oceanographic research fleet. Since 2014, MarFac has been under construction as crews replaced a 48-year-old wharf, built a new pier, upgraded technology and utilities, and improved environmental protection systems.
At the event, UC San Diego Chancellor Pradeep Khosla joined Scripps Director Margaret Leinen, Scripps Associate Director Bruce Appelgate, and a crowd of Scripps/UC San Diego supporters, faculty, and staff at MarFac to celebrate the unveiling of the revitalized facility. (Photo gallery here.)
"At UC San Diego, we are committed to conducting research that pushes the frontiers of our knowledge so we can make our world a better place," said Chancellor Khosla during his welcoming speech. "The revitalized pier and wharf enable us to advance and achieve our commitments and goals, and that is why today is truly a day of celebration."
Chancellor Khosla also extended his thanks to the many people who contributed to the success of the MarFac rehabilitation project, including former Vice President Al Gore, California State Senator Marty Block, California State Senator Darrell Steinberg, and UC Regent Charlene Zettel, among others.
During her speech, Leinen noted that the improvements made to MarFac will enable Scripps to conduct research related to national security, to perform effective and safe naval operations that are important to our economic livelihood, to look at resources such as fish or minerals, to protect the public by coming up with solutions to the greatest problems facing the planet today—from climate change and earthquakes to tsunamis and other hazards—and finally, to experience "just sheer exploration and the awe of understanding this incredible water planet."
"All of that is embodied in what goes from this pier. It's the place from which we go to understand and protect this ocean planet," said Leinen, who is also vice chancellor for marine sciences at UC San Diego. "The ships that we operate from here operate not only on behalf of Scripps, but of the country."
Senator Block presented a resolution to Chancellor Khosla on behalf of the California State Senate that highlights the importance of the research conducted at Scripps Oceanography and UC San Diego.
"We all know in Sacramento that the UC is so critical to everything we do in the State," said Block. "We couldn't do it in California without the University of California, without UC San Diego, and without Scripps Institution of Oceanography."
Representative John Ly from San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer's office also presented the Chancellor with a proclamation from the Mayor declaring April 15 to be UC San Diego/Scripps Nimitz Marine Facility Day throughout the city of San Diego.
In a closing speech, Appelgate noted that the MarFac revitalization project was only possible due to a collaborative effort across many entities, including the U.S. Navy, the Office of Naval Research, UC San Diego Construction Management, and Marathon Construction—the company that actually built the new facility and notably constructed the original MarFac facility nearly 50 years ago (under the name Furby Engineering). Appelgate expressed his gratitude to all parties involved for a job well done and said he expects that the new structure will stand for the next 100 years.
"To all of you, I say that you are all now ocean explorers. This is a mission in which we are all conjoined, and ocean exploration does not begin on the deck plate of a ship. It happens right here at facilities like this, where the hopes, the dreams, and the expensive equipment that oceanographers use—all that gets mobilized aboard research vessels sent out to sea," said Appelgate, head of Scripps Ship Operations and Marine Technical Support. "Through the hard, dedicated, and capable work of people like all of us, that kind of work can go on, so thank you."
MarFac is currently home port to two oceanic research vessels operated by Scripps, Roger Revelle and Robert Gordon Sproul, as well as the research platform FLIP. Later this year, MarFac will welcome a newcomer to the pier, R/V Sally Ride, a state-of-the-art research vessel that will support the evolving needs of scientists for decades to come.

best new memoirs
Classic and Contemporary LGBTQ Books That Are Must-Reads. Elton John's official autobiography hasn't been released yet, but it's not too soon to get excited about it. It just happened that these were the great books that we all admired this year. Read. Memoir often is just a certain sliver of a person's life, not the story of one's entire life. She has a remarkable story. Keep an eye on your inbox. "If you find out where you come from, it may not be what you're expecting". by Tara Westover There's a really interesting scene when his mother tells him that all of Nicky's things were packed away in a little red trunk in the attic. Look, Samantha Irby is hilarious and perfect and can do no wrong for me. Read This year we got deadlocked. Click … Sometimes a memoirist can't find out the truth, or the truth changes, or it shifts as the writer's perspective shifts. It has already been a big year for Elton John thanks to the release of Hollywood biopic Rocketman. I've seen it reviewed and recommended all over the place, not least by Barack Obama. And then the last section was the hardest to read because that's where she has come into her own, but realises she still wants her family—and her family is not prepared to accept her now that she has changed so much. Read more in the best books of 2019 interview series. It is simply so remarkable that people could not put it down. Here We Are: American Dreams, American Nightmares by Aarti Shahani. Yes. I laughed, I cried, I gasped, I texted quotes to friends and begged them to read it. You are chair of the National Book Critics Circle Awards' autobiography committee. I just felt like I was at his side through that whole book. They're not the facts of the world at that time but they're personal things that happened to you or your family. Hearing the writers' stories in their own voices adds a personal touch that brings these books even more vividly to life. All of these books, as you've probably noticed, are quite different from one another, with different strengths. Why? Here Phil Klay, veteran of the US Marine Corps and award-winning novelist, recommends books that help bridge that gap—and capture the complicated relationship between soldiers and the societies on whose behalf they fight. He has few memories. Read 365 reviews from the world's largest community for readers. It's about guilt. With Westover's book, it's the story. This is a relatively quick read that will stay with readers, and it's a particularly poignant story for our time. His family was living in abject poverty. Focusing on a solitary year on the California coast, this volume promises to be a particularly introspective one from the former punk rocker. Autobiography usually doesn't involve a person's inner life as much or emotional journey, as a memoir does. Laurie Hertzel is senior editor for books at the Minneapolis Star Tribune and is an award-winning journalist and writer of short fiction. Here For It: Or, How to Save Your Soul in America, F*ck Your Diet: And Other Things My Thighs Tell Me, Buy Yourself the F*cking Lilies: And Other Rituals to Fix Your Life, from Someone Who's Been There. Read It's about how crippling silence can be. That variability in how people remember the same events? Read. Is that cheating? And it's about revisionist history—for instance, the way that his mother remembers things differently and in a way that . Some of it is her own words, handwritten. So I think what you want memoir to do really depends on the story. She's told at one point that she may become a painter, but she'll never be an artist—and she really takes exception to that. A good writer can turn any personal story into an entertaining and meaningful tale, and these writers of recent memoirs and essay collections have done just that. I think for a long time adopted children stayed quiet about how they felt—with closed adoptions there was no way for a child to find a birth family, and there was also a sense of not wanting to hurt the feelings of adoptive parents. Touching on universal parenting topics, such as choosing a name, finding a community, and answering tough questions, Austin presents a much-needed view of being a Black single mother that crushes stereotypes and tackles racism head-on. . Nobody looked like her. Land's story is that of the working poor, a group that is all too invisible to policy makers and the public alike. Old in Art School: A Memoir of Starting Over By the age of 12, Hilliard stood at over six feet tall and worse a size 12 in shoes and clothes. She's not afraid of all caps, she just puts it out there, she's smart and ebullient and funny and sharp, and we loved it for those reasons. Now in her sixties, it was not a great time to be doing something all consuming. She has a very distinctive way of writing. The Best New Memoirs: The 2019 National Book Critics Circle Awards Shortlist recommended by Laurie Hertzel. Absolutely. The Day That Went Missing: A Family's Story New year, new memoirs. Rose — who set the all-time Major League hits record before being banned for life from baseball for gambling on the sport — is a fascinating guy, albeit not a very likeable one. Don't miss these personal stories that reach for universal truths. She has photographs. Before we move onto the books, we've been using two words here almost interchangeably: autobiography and memoir. As soon as I read the last word, I wanted to flip back to the beginning and start all over again. Hearing the writers' stories in their own voices adds a personal touch that brings these books even more vividly to life. A sort of gas-lighting occurs. by Nora Krug But she also found the more she learned, the harder it got. She finds that one of her relatives let Nazis park in his garage, and in order to do that, he had to join the Nazi party. Your third choice also deals with family relationships: Nicole Chung's All You Can Ever Know, about her experience with trans-racial adoption and tracking down her birth family after she herself became a mother. There's always been this idea that America is a big melting pot and we've had international adoption for a long time. In this memoir, comedian Cameron Esposito explores her coming out process and writes the queer coming-of-age story she wishes she'd heard as a young person. Romanian orphans, and Russian orphans, and Chinese orphans, and Korean babies: we've moved around the world adopting these children and bringing them here to the land of plenty, to blend into our melting pot. Sardy's memoir of family and mental illness is beautiful and heartbreaking, and it gives readers a new perspective on the treatment of the mentally ill in American society. Rigoberto Gonzalez said in an interview about his new memoir that he purposely did not check his memories with anyone else's; he wanted only his own perspective. They're a very good press, but they are not huge. All You Can Ever Know: A Memoir

My Observations of the June Diaper Distribution in Iraq
Posted In : News
0 : comment
By: William J. Murray
Distribution at four camps in June: During my inspection trip to Iraq, diaper distribution occurred at four locations. The camps served were:
Ozal Compound Nineveh Plain Christians Diapers / Sanitary pads / Baby food
Kanjan Compound Nineveh Plain Christians Diapers / Sanitary pads / Adult Diapers
Ashti2 Camp Nineveh Plain Christians Diapers / Sanitary pads / Adult Diapers
Rock Compound Nineveh Plain Christians Diapers / Sanitary pads / Adult Diapers
Several videos of the distribution are posted at our website and our Facebook page for Diapers for Refugees.
Chairman William Murray traveled to Iraq to help with the diaper deliveries and distributions in June.
Americans expect to see photos of people sitting in the dirt outside of a tent. Iraq is NOT a third world nation. Before the 2003 war it was a nation of divided highways and modern cities. Much of that was destroyed in the war — and then in the near civil war of 2006 after an initial pull-out of US troops. Things got better after President Bush did a "surge" of troops, but then came the Islamic State rampage in 2014. The goal of the Islamic State of course was to take Iraq and Syria back to the 6th century with "pure" Islam. The only "modern" things Jihadists are interested in are weapons of war.Of all the camps, the Ozal compound is one of the more unique. This is the compound where threats had been written against Christians on the wall at the entrance. Inside, the compound looks like a middle class residential area as I mentioned above. There are children on bikes and a few cars parked on the street. During the day when temperatures are well over 100 degrees there are few people on the streets.
The churches and Christian missions have done their best to normalize life for the many thousands of Christians displaced from their homes. That is what the diaper program is about – normalizing life for Christians as Iraq is rebuilding, even in a time of continuing war. Sadly, Christians are being left out of the rebuilding process.
The largest diaper distribution was at the Ashti2 camp in Ankawa, because it is the most concentrated. The compound is made up of hundreds of caravans that are 12 x 22 feet. The inside of each caravan contains just 264 square feet, divided into two spaces. One is a bedroom/living room for the entire family. About a fourth of the area is a small toilet and kitchen area with a partition. Up to eight family members live in one of these caravans, but the average family size is five.
An untrained eye looking at the caravans would think that they are air conditioned, but that is not the case. To cool the individual units, a sort of vaporizer is used. A hose from a water supply feeds cool water into the unit and then air is blown across or through it into the caravan. It is primitive, but compound generators would never be able to supply hundreds of air conditioning units
On days of extreme heat, I have seen men bringing a block of ice to their caravan. The ice is then placed in front of a small fan in an attempt to cool the caravan for their families.
One of many young women who received a very welcomed supply of diapers.
At the Ashti2 compound we delivered diapers to 330 families. Hundreds more families live there, but they do not have diaper age children.
The families in the compounds are desperate since most of the men are unemployed, and some will sell whatever they can get their hands on at the street stands. The diapers would bring needed cash to families if sold on the black market. For that reason, extreme care is taken to make sure that the families needing diapers receive them. We do not back up our truck and start handing out diapers to anyone that shows up.
A list is prepared in advance of families needing diapers, from information obtained from the camp administrator. All family members who come on site to pick up the diapers must show their ID as well as the child's ID.
This is the same procedure used by all NGO's to make sure that desperate people do not take what is being passed out — and then get back into the line again. It also stops panic among the families who may fear that the supply of whatever is being distributed may run out. A compound or camp such as Ashti2 is always in a process of change. Some men manage to find jobs and move their family out, sometimes to another city. But new families from West Mosul that had been held captive by the Islamic State are just now arriving. And some women are wearing black from head to toe because their husbands who were fighting in the Iraqi Army have been lost.
The Rock Compound: The Rock is actually neither a compound nor a camp. It is three stories of an office and shopping complex in downtown Erbil near the Citadel. This building complex, which covers two city blocks, is owned by a Christian businessman. There are several hundred families living in partitioned off spaces, again about the size of a caravan. Diapers were distributed to 90 families at this location. Parking and unloading is a huge issue. Although we prepositioned the diapers the night before, it took us nearly 45 minutes to find parking and make it up to the location.
In Ankawa, which is a Christian town adjacent to Erbil, the women and teenage girls can safely go out by themselves. However, in downtown Erbil, no Christian woman can go onto the street by herself unless she compromises her faith and wears a hijab. The Kurds are Sunni Muslims, and right now the Trump Administration and the media pump them up as true heroes and our great paid warriors against Islamic State. They are Sunni Muslims — not as radical perhaps as the Islamic State, but still, Christian restaurants were forced to pay a fee to stay open during the time of Ramadan when I was there in June.
In order to receive diapers, proper identification must be shown.
The Qaraqosh Distribution: The last time I was in the Christian town of Qaraqosh, Iraq in late 2016, there were no families living there as yet. By May, we had word that 345 families had moved there. By the time I arrived in Iraq the number had changed to 200. The living conditions are horrid, even though running water has been reestablished. Can you image living in a home with broken out windows in a neighborhood destroyed by war — with no neighbors for perhaps a block or more?
In Qaraqosh, diapers were delivered to those families who needed them. In addition, all of the 200 families were given two large heavy plastic bags each – one filled with food items and one with hygiene items. All items are top quality and known brands. Separately, a 4.5 kilo (9.9 pounds) bag of rice was also distributed. The bags of food contained staple items such as beans, sugar, salt, baking mix, coffee and cooking oil. The hygiene package contained detergent, soaps, shampoos, tooth paste and brushes, as well as razors for the men and sanitary pads for the women. Multiply what you see by 200 … plus the diapers, and we needed two trucks.
Diaper deliveries to various camps and compounds are monthly. The diapers are purchased in bulk every three months. In all, 640,000 diapers per year are distributed.
About Diapers For Refugees
The Diaper for Refugees program is one that is much needed today and will continue to be needed until the day Christian families can return to their homes in what is now Islamic State held territory or are relocated.

Rwenzuru king speaks out on the Rwenzori clashes
A 70 year old woman in Kamuli district is currently nursing serious wounds after she allegedly set herself ablaze on claims that she wanted to join her late husband who died ten years ago.
Ms Jane Takwemazayo, a resident of Busibiria LC1 Kamuli district allegedly gathered old jerry cans, beddings, her clothes on Tuesday and set them on fire before jumping into it. However, she was rescued by her neighbours.
Ms Takwemazayo's son, Lawrence Isanga said his mother has been battling a mental illness since the death of her husband in a house fire ten years ago.
Mr Isanga further explained his mother had last week disappeared and feared dead, only to be found in Kaliro district and she was sent back home.
"My mother has for some time now been haunted by the clan and our father's spirits. It is not yet a week since we returned her from Kaliro where she had disappeared from," Mr Isanga said, adding that she has refused to go to the hospital preferring local herbs treatment.

Manish Verma | January 8, 2023
A Market Harborough based startup which enables customers to buy and sell pre-owned clothes has surpassed its funding target.
Thrift+ describes itself as a "managed marketplace for pre-loved fashion" and has raised more £1.5m , smashing its target on Seedrs.
The company's mission is to "help create a world without fashion waste, through giving as many items as possible a second life".
To date the business has recirculated 500,000 items of clothing, and raised over £1.6m for charities.
On Linkedin founder Joe Metcalfe said:
"We set out with a target of £1.3m and are delighted to be over 120% funded. This will put us in a brilliant position to deliver our ambitious plans for 2023 to invest in our tech – brand new ecommerce site launching in Jan! Expand our partnerships – £bn retailer coming soon! Overhaul our brand – brighter, lighter and full of optimism!"

Q: Make sure the same array items are not next to each other in php I am struggling with this case. I have a random array that similar items can be in the next to each other and I don't want it to happen.
Example :
array("red","red","blue","green","green","blue");

Expected Output : array("red","blue","red","green","blue","green")

So I was thinking about shuffle the items until there are no similar items in the next to each other. But it will take a lot of time if the array has a lot of values.
Is there any effective way to make it happen?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

A: Just an idea:

*

*Shuffle the original array.

*Compare the first two. If they are the same, swap second with the last.

*Move to the next pair.

*Repeat until end reached.

Here we assume the worst case shuffle having the same values next together.
$colors = ["red", "red", "blue", "blue", "green", "green"];

for ($i = 0; $i < count($colors) - 1; $i++) {
    if ($colors[$i] !== $colors[$i + 1]) continue;
    $last = $colors[count($colors) - 1];
    $colors[count($colors) - 1] = $colors[$i];
    $colors[$i + 1] = $last;
}

print_r($colors);

Array
(
    [0] => red
    [1] => green
    [2] => blue
    [3] => red
    [4] => green
    [5] => blue
)

A: I ended up re-arrange to a new array. For those who have the same problem with me here is how I do it :
<?php

$colors = ["red","red","red","red","red","red","blue","blue","green","green","green","green","green","green","red","red","red"];
$newColors = array();

$uniqColors = array_values(array_unique($colors));

$countUniqColors = count($uniqColors);

$y = 0;

for ($i = 0; $i <= count($colors) - 1; $i++) {
    $newColors[$i] = $uniqColors[$y];
    $y += 1;
    if ($y >= $countUniqColors) $y = 0;
}

print_r($newColors);

?>

I think this is the most effective way I can think of. Let me know if you have any thought about this solution

A: Just another idea:

*

*Take the array and scan from start to end

*Compare the next with current, when not equal, then continue

*Compare the next with current, when equal, search the next different and swap next with next different

Based on your comment of an even more worse case than in the original question, I suggest trying this, ensuring never one word will be twice next together.
$colors = ["red", "red", "red", "red", "red", "red", "blue", "blue", "green", "green", "green", "green", "green", "green", "red", "red", "red"];

for ($i = 0; $i < count($colors) - 1; $i++) {
    if ($colors[$i] !== $colors[$i + 1]) continue;

    for ($k = $i + 2; $k < count($colors) - 1; $k++) {
        if ($colors[$i + 1] === $colors[$k]) continue;
        $tmp = $colors[$i + 1];
        $colors[$i + 1] = $colors[$k];
        $colors[$k] = $tmp;
        break;
    }
}

print_r($colors);

Array
(
    [0] => red
    [1] => blue
    [2] => red
    [3] => blue
    [4] => red
    [5] => green
    [6] => red
    [7] => green
    [8] => red
    [9] => green
    [10] => red
    [11] => green
    [12] => red
    [13] => green
    [14] => red
    [15] => green
    [16] => red
)

A: Brute force/stupid solution would be:

*

*shuffle array

*iterate through and check if neighbours are equal

*if yes, increment $i

*use do{} while($i != 0)

Like so:
<?php

$colors = ["red","red","red","red","red","red","blue","blue","green","green","green","green","green","green","red","red","red"];

do{
    shuffle($colors);
    $i = 0;

    foreach ($colors as $value) {

        if(isset($oldValue)){
            if($oldValue == $value){
                $i++;
            }
        }

        $oldValue = $value;
    }

} while ($i != 0);

?>

Of course, the more duplicities you possibly have, the more demanding the script will be. But it works fine for smaller arrays.


I recently had to run PhotoRec (6.14) on a damaged HD (it won't even mount) it took quite a long time to scan the whole disk but I finally recovered a lot of files. My problem is that some of these files are huge (90Go for the biggest) and seem to be fusions of smaller files (for example in a 3 Go .mpg file I have several videos concatenated).
So is there a way to repair these files ? or did I miss an option in PhotoRec that would have prevented this ? or is my HD simply too damaged and lost beyond any hope of recovery ?
I think this is caused by file fragmentation, and false positive detection (for biggest). You would have best chances with partition detection and filesystem recontruction using testdisk instead of photorec. Did you tried that before ? If you are not able to repair with testdisk, and there are important files you want/need to recover, consider a professional solution by sending me your disk.
If you didn't done that before , may you please scan with testdisk and post results there.
Thank you for the tip, I'll try and post the result here.

UK Charity Calls for Ban on Primetime Alcohol Ads
27 de outubro de 20103min19
A United Kingdom charity group has asked the government to ban alcohol ads from television prior to 9 p.m. and to remove them entirely from the internet, the Guardian
The government-funded agency, Alcohol Concern, proposed the ban after research found more than a million four- to 15-year-olds were exposed to alcohol promotions during England's participation in World Cup soccer. The total could go as high as five million if all live games, not just England's, are taken into account.
Although the ads did not break UK advertising law — which restricts programs with a higher than 20 percent audience of 10- to 15-year olds from advertising alcohol — the charity believes the World Cup numbers are a strong indicator that existing rules don't go far enough.
"It is simply unacceptable that vast numbers of children are so frequently exposed to alcohol advertising, leading to higher levels of drinking among young people and increasingly higher levels of harm," said Alcohol Concern Chief Executive Don Shenker.
"Alcohol producers and advertising regulators are clearly not taking their responsibilities seriously enough, and only a [primetime] ban on TV and an internet ban will prevent the vast majority of children from being exposed to alcohol marketing."
David Poley, chief executive of the alcohol lobbying agency the Portman Group, disagrees.
"Alcohol marketing in the UK is strictly regulated to ensure it is responsible and aimed at adults," he said. "There is very little evidence to suggest that children's exposure to alcohol marketing is associated with either the onset of drinking or amount consumed."
Poley's comments contradict those of Ian Gilmore, MD, professor and past president of London's Royal College of Physicians, as quoted in an Alcohol Concern press release outlining the proposed ban.
"The evidence is clear—children are affected by alcohol marketing. It influences the age at which they start drinking and how much they then drink.
"Alcohol is a drug of potential addiction, and if drinks producers and retailers won't stop pushing it at our children, then urgent and tough legislation is needed to protect them," Gilmore concluded.

ChiSide's 2012 NHL Stanley Cup Preview
The 2012 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs was an absolute doozy to witness. Although my beloved Chicago Blackhawks were eliminated in a mere six total games, my eyes never ceased to deviate from the rest of the competition that was going on. Thus far, there have been a total of 23 games that have gone into sudden death overtime, the most since 2003, which also had 23 overtime games. The NHL record for overtimes in a playoff is 28, set in 1993. The record could be broken if the extraordinary happens in this year's final, which would have to result in, at least, a six game series in which every game extends beyond 60 minutes. A side note to those unfamiliar: Nothing is more nerve-wracking than observing your team sacrifice body after body in order to keep that tiny, disk-shaped piece of vulcanized rubber from crossing the goal line. Nothing. A great number of fans from Chicago and Phoenix, as well as myself, had to endure five consecutive cardiac-arrest-inducing wars between the Blackhawks and Coyotes. Even though the Yotes came out on top, it's safe to say I loved every minute of it (this is easier to say a few weeks afterwards). No sport conveys suspense and sense of urgency like hockey. It's simply unparalleled.
What makes hockey so great is that, no matter what happens at the end of the regular season, all sixteen teams have an equivalent shot at hoisting the most majestic trophy in all of sports. This year's playoffs further attest that statement, as we are set to watch the eight-seeded Los Angeles Kings face-off against the six-seeded New Jersey Devils. The Kings have been wiping up the floor with everyone they've played so far, losing only two games in the entire playoffs. This includes the top three Western Conference teams, the pesky Vancouver Canucks, the St. Louis Blues, and the Phoenix Coyotes. The Devils, on the other hand, have had scares against the Florida Panthers, who took them to seven games, as well as the number one-seed New York Rangers, who took them to six.
I'm going to compose this preview in a more abnormal way than I usually go about by just giving five thoughts about the matchup, instead of breaking down every facet of each team and comparing the two. I'd like to imagine these opinions will enlighten those new to the sport as well as the hardened veterans that have watched the game for the past 20 years. Enjoy. Continue reading →

Release Blitz: The Spire by Kate Canterbary
Title: The Spire
Series: The Walsh Series #6
Author: Kate Canterbary
Rebel, runner, recluse, rich girl.
Nine years ago, Erin Walsh ran away from everything.
Secrets.
The only permanence in her life is catastrophe.
She travels from country to country, chasing disaster, teasing fire, playing with poison. She guards against real connections, and shuns the only family she has left.
She holds everyone—even her siblings—at a mile-long distance. It's the only way to protect herself.
But she can't protect herself from him.
He's the ice to her fire, and he's willing to sacrifice everything to bring her home.
I gave her a little shove, and she fell to the mattress. She aimed a meaningful glance at my jeans, and that was all the encouragement I needed to drop them to the ground. She crawled backward, and I followed, stalking her every movement until we were flat against a bank of pillows.
"Hi," she said, running her hand up my flank and over my shoulder. She hooked her leg around my waist and pulled me flush against her. My cock was acutely aware that only my boxers and her panties separated us, and was alternately thrilled with that situation and impatient as hell. She smiled, a little shy. "I like the way you touch me."
"That's good because I really enjoy touching you," I said, bringing my lips to her neck and trailing them down between her breasts. "I didn't want to let you go when I met you last night. Wanted to keep you all to myself."
"Oh," she said, her eyebrow quirking as if this was an peculiar sentiment. "I don't think anyone's ever wanted to keep me before."
Fuck, she was too much. Just too much. Beautiful and rough around every edge yet vulnerable and sensitive.
"I want to keep you," I said, sliding my fingers behind her back to unclasp her bra. "I'll keep you as long as you let me, lovely." Her arms moved to her chest the minute her bra went flying over my shoulder. That vulnerability? There it was again. "And I want to see you, too."
A groan was rumbling past my lips the second her arms went around my neck and she was bared to me. I thought her tits were a crime in that t-shirt, but I had no idea. They were full and pale, and delicious. I licked and sucked as if I was trying to consume her, and maybe I was.
"Say something," she whispered, her fingers raking through my hair. "I want…I want to know what you're thinking."
I released her nipple with a satisfied groan, and then dropped kisses on each of her breasts before finding her eyes. "I'm thinking get me inside you right now."
Our lips met as my fingers inched her panties over her hips. I could take her just like this, face-to-face while I tasted her hungry hums, and I'd want for nothing.
"You probably thought I'd be crazy in bed," she said, her words muffled as she spoke against my neck. "Like, I don't know, adventurous and kinky. Like, I keep nipple clamps in my back pocket and actually prefer wearing thongs, and I'm always down for anal. And it's my fault, really. This whole night has been pretty wild, and I kissed you like a maniac and then everything on the boat, and it wouldn't be wrong to think that tequila on my tits is an average Saturday morning but—"
"It only matters what you want," I said, tipping up her chin. "Don't worry about what I think, or what you think I'm thinking. Tell me what you want."
Erin's fingers clawed at my boxers, and together we got them over my hips and out of the way. Her panties were long gone and my cock was in love with the wet heat between her legs.
"Please don't make it hurt," she whispered.
I shook my head and dropped a kiss on her forehead. "Never."

Kate Canterbary doesn't have it all figured out, but this is what she knows for sure: spicy-ass salsa and tequila solve most problems, living on the ocean--Pacific or Atlantic--is the closest place to perfection, and writing smart, smutty stories is a better than any amount of chocolate. She started out reporting for an indie arts and entertainment newspaper back when people still read newspapers, and she has been writing and surreptitiously interviewing people--be careful sitting down next to her on an airplane--ever since. Kate lives on the water in New England with Mr. Canterbary and the Little Baby Canterbary, and when she isn't writing sexy architects, she's scheduling her days around the region's best food trucks.

This video shows the Openmoko/Goldelico GTA04 booting SHR Linux in 17 seconds.
Note: SHR is not yet optimized for a fast bootup on the GTA04.
Get your GTA04 now by participating in the GTA04 Group Buy Tour.
This is a step-by-step guide, which should get you from zero to a working SHR on your GTA04 in just a few minutes.
Update Nov. 2012: Updated the instructions to the new default U-Boot enviroment.
The new U-Boot system (as of November 2012) provides a graphical multi-boot solution.
If your device is shipped after November 2012 you'll probably already have this system pre-installed.
Otherwise you'll have to get the latest hw-validation image from http://download.goldelico.com/gta04 and put it on a specially formated microSD card (using the makesd script). Then boot this special hw-validation microSD card having the AUX button pressed, to flash the new boot system (the screen will trun red while falshing).
After switching back (or reformating) to your normal microSD card you can always access the boot menu by booting the device, having AUX pressed.
To install the SHR image, you have to untar the image you downloaded to the "rootfs"-partition. Then you have to copy the bootargs.scr file to /boot (on the microSD card).
After you cleanly unmounted the partitions and put the microSD card back into the GTA04 you can boot your device, having the AUX button pressed (to access the boot menu). You'll be greeted by the graphical U-Boot multiboot selection. Select the partition to boot from (e.g. SD:1 for SHR).
Next, a first start wizard will pop up, which let's you choose between some options.
Be aware to choose a scale factor of 2.0 when asked. Other than this you could just keep the defaults.
If you want to use the WiFi/Bluetooth chip, you have to use a non-free firmware from Marvell.
To get it you have to install linux-firmware-sd8686.
You successfully installed SHR on your GTA04.
For further information or if you have any issues, please consult the SHR wiki.
Update 9.1.2012: results are updated.
As the year 2011 nears it's end, we – the Openmoko Community – did a poll  about which is the most popular hardware and which is the most popular software in our community. The poll was open for one week now and we got votes from 73 people.
I decided to close the poll now and release the results to the public. To create a ranking I gave 1 point to a "YES" vote and 0.5 points to a "(YES)" vote. The maximum (100%) is 73 points.
On the software side SHR is still the most popular distro, directly followed by QtMoko. Quiet a few people commented, that they intend to code their own software/GUI mostly to educated themselves.
Now, i'd like to wish all you Open Hard- and Software-Enthusiasts out there a good start into the year 2012. I hope the GTA04 project will flourish in 2012 and will help our community to grow and free the phone again!
HP the company which bought Palm some time ago just announced, that they are going to release webOS as open source software! The Linux kernel side of webOS was open souce since the beginning, with a few exceptions like the PowerVR 3D driver and the touchscreen driver.
We'll see how far HP will go and what parts they'll really open up (their announcement didn't mention the modem protocol for example).
webOS is probably the best and most intuitive software running on smartphones today. And was said to be "the iPhone killer". Unfortunately the first device it was sold on (Palm Pre) wasn't exactly the best hardware as it had serveral flaws like a bad keyboard slider. Thus webOS wasn't adopted by masses of developers and suffered from a lack of applications, which in turn made it uninteresting to end users.
I got a Palm Pre in the early days and I also got a HP|Palm Pre2 developer device some months ago, which I still enjoy to use. All in all I enjoyed developing for those devices, too, but it was pretty depressing to reverse engineer parts of the modem protocol, to be able to have it communicate with the FreeSmartphone.org (FSO) middleware and run a really free and open source operating system like SHR.
Let's hope the best for the mobile FOSS community in 2012!

Self-Perspectives across the Life Span
Richard P. Lipka - Editor
Thomas M. Brinthaupt - Editor
SUNY series, Studying the Self
ISBN10: 0-7914-1003-X
ISBN10: 0-7914-1004-8
When and how is the self acquired and what characterizes its development and change over the life span? What are the implications of using different methodologies to study the self with different age groups? This book addresses these and related questions.
"The authors have provided clearly written and well balanced accounts of the problems and possibilities inherent in 'self' that have been explored through the life span. The book provides information that clarifies and more precisely defines the various aspects of 'self,' discusses refinements in self research designs, and explains what problems still need to be addressed. It extends many of these concepts to older age levels, which makes the book of major interest to a new group of professional readers." -- Doris Bergen, Miami University
The authors offer research on early and middle childhood, late childhood and adolescence, and adulthood and old age. Among the issues considered are the relationship between cognitive complexity and self-evaluation in childhood, the pivotal socio-emotional tasks that confront the adolescent, and effects of situational and structural factors on the self-esteem of adolescents and adults, and age and gender differences in the ideal and undesired selves of young and older adults. These contributions illustrate the different theoretical and methodological issues that are associated with differing stages of the life span and provide a summary of the current knowledge base of the self across the life span.
Unlike previous books on study of the self, this one provides a systematic analysis of the theoretical and methodological issues and a selection of several alternative methodologies for studying the self across the life span.
Richard P. Lipka is Professor and Director of the Center for Educational Service, Evaluation, and Research at Pittsburg State University, Pittsburg, Kansas. Thomas M. Brinthaupt is Assistant Professor of Psychology at Middle Tennessee State University, Murfreesboro, Tennessee.

Q: get last word typed in Javascript I'm wondering how to get the last word typed in Javascript. I have a text area my_text and when the user hits the spacebar it will get the last word that the user typed. This is what I'm trying so far
function getLastWord() {
        var input = document.getElementById(my_text.value);
        //var lineIn = document.getElementById(my_text).innerHTML;
        var lastWordTyped
        var changeColorOfWord;

        if (input == null) {
            input == " ";
        }

        lastWordTyped = input.substr(input.trim().lastIndexOf(" ") + 1);

When the function gets called on a spacebar hit, it says that input is null so when it gets the lastWordTyped var, it shows up null and errors out, does anybody know why this may be happening?
Preferably no JQuery
Here's some of the HTML to go with it.

<textarea class="text_edit" id="my_text" onkeypress="return myKeyPress(event)" onkeydown="return onKeyDown(event)"></textarea>

<input type="button" value="Run Code" onclick="view_text()" />

Ok, so I got the error to go away now i just need it to change the font color of the word typed lol..

A: Did you mean
var input = document.getElementById("my_text").value;

A: Try this:
<textarea id="MyText" rows="10" cols="50" onkeyup="getLastWord(event);"></textarea>

var Old = "";
var New = "";
function getLastWord(e)
{
    New = document.getElementById("MyText").value;
    if(e.keyCode == 32)
    {
        Old = New.replace(Old, "");
        alert(Old);
        Old = New;
    }
}

Lavender vinegar, saffron wafers, chicken baked with prunes, pears stewed with cucumbers and figs . . . there is something wonderfully inviting about the unusual and exotic flavors that came to the medieval Polish table. By turns robust and refined, and capturing all the richness and complexity of Poland in the Middle Ages, this is cookery that flourished at the crossroads of Western and Oriental foodways.
This is the first book of its kind in English to explore the fascinating culinary history of medieval Poland. It represents the fruits of a twenty-year collaboration between two distinguished food historians, William Woys Weaver and the late Maria Dembinska. Freely adapted from a pioneering work first published by Dembinska in 1963, this new edition explores the subject of Polish medieval cuisine through archaeology, material culture, and ethnography, along with other perspectives and techniques. Topics examined include not just the personal eating habits of kings, queens, and nobles but also those of the peasants, monks, and other social groups not generally considered in medieval food studies.
To appreciate the tastes and textures of medieval Polish cookery, there is simply no better way than to experience the food firsthand. Weaver has included thirty-five carefully reconstructed recipes, from courtier's pottage, a one-pot dinner popular with rich peasants and petty nobles, to game stewed with sauerkraut, to a court dish of baked fruit, to Polish hydromel, an easily made drink flavored with honey and fennel. With ingredients such as rosewater, cucumbers, saffron, and honey, these recipes will intrigue anyone who loves the art of cooking.
Maria Dembinska conducted her research on food consumption in medieval Poland at Warsaw University and at the Institute of Material Culture of the Polish Academy of Sciences. A noted food historian, she authored nearly two hundred articles and papers on medieval foods and foodways.
William Woys Weaver is an internationally known food historian and author of numerous books, including America Eats, The Christmas Cook, Pennsylvania Dutch Country Cooking, and Heirloom Vegetable Gardening. He began his collaboration with Maria Dembinska on the publication of Food and Drink in Medieval Poland in 1977.
