"If you can't completely eradicate wrong ideas, or deal with inveterate vices as effectively as you could wish, that's no reason for turning your back on public life altogether. You wouldn't abandon ship in a storm just because you couldn't control the winds."
Complete text of a plaque formerly on the wall at St. Joseph's Catholic Church on Capitol Hill where John and Robert Kennedy used to worship.
",,,truth is loved in such a way that those who love some other thing want it to be the truth, and, precisely because they do not wish to be deceived, are unwilling to be convinced that they are deceived."
"...ignorance is said to be voluntary, when it regards that which one can and ought to know...And ignorance of this kind happens, either when one does not actually consider what one can and ought to consider; this is called 'ignorance of evil choice,' and arises from some passion or habit: or when one does not take the trouble to acquire the knowledge which one ought to have…"
"The first law of history is not to dare to utter falsehood; the second, not to fear to tell the truth."
"I am more and more impressed by the fact that it is largely futile to get up and make statements about current problems. At the same time, I know that silent acquiescence in evil is also out of the question."

Introduction >
The Nova Scotia Restorative Justice Community University Research Alliance (NSRJ-CURA) is a collaborative research partnership between university and community partners. This partnership is funded primarily through a five-year, million dollar grant from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) through their CURA program. The NSRJ-CURA is also supported through, in kind contributions from, the university and community partners. Additional funding will be sought to support new research projects and specific events throughout the life of the original grant.
The NSRJ-CURA is focused on research related to the institutionalization of restorative justice practice with particular attention to the example of the Nova Scotia Restorative Justice Program (NSRJP). As one of the most comprehensive and developed restorative justice programs in the world, the Nova Scotia program provides a unique opportunity to explore questions that emerge beyond the pilot or nascent stage of restorative justice programs. The research agenda of the NSRJ-CURA will take advantage of the opportunities presented by the NSRJP to help elucidate and respond to some of the challenges of institutionalizing comprehensive restorative justice in theory and in practice. Through this research the NSRJ-CURA will contribute significantly to strengthening and developing the existing Nova Scotia Restorative Justice Program. It will provide new knowledge about restorative justice theory and practice to system actors, policy makers, and decision makers. It will also afford an opportunity for significant skills development and training for those actively engaged in the provision of services within NSRJ. This research will also hold significant insights for the development of restorative justice programs both nationally and globally. The NSRJ-CURA will also make an important contribution to the national and international scholarship and literature on restorative justice as it takes advantage of its unique position to explore issues of theory and practice within the context of the Nova Scotia program.
The NSRJ-CURA will offer significant opportunities and benefits for student education, training, and development. The NSRJ-CURA is committed to engaging students from multiple disciplines including law, sociology, and criminology, in its research through course development and innovation, graduate fellowships, internships, and as research assistants. Through this involvement the NSRJ-CURA will equip students to contribute to the development and operation of restorative justice as practitioners, researchers and/or scholars. The NSRJ-CURA will also provide important opportunities for students to develop empirical research, writing and presentation skills key for their future success.
The partners involved in the NSRJ-CURA represent all of the major institutional stakeholders in the Nova Scotia Restorative Justice Program.
The research will be pursued through a number of different research projects focusing on the theoretical and practical issues that arise with the development and application of restorative justice in a systematic and comprehensive way. There are 17 such projects planned to take place over the five year period of the CURA grant. Further projects may be undertaken in response to newly identified issues or in connection with new forged partnerships. The 17 research projects reflect five overarching themes related to institutionalization of restorative justice that inform and drive the research agenda of the NSRJ-CURA. They are:
(i) translation of principles into practice;
(ii) community;
(iii) diversity & equity;
(iv) gender; and
(v) conceptualizing and measuring success. The specific research projects explore and examine:
University and community-based researchers will work closely to design, implement and realize this ambitious and significant research agenda. The NSRJ-CURA is committed to conducting research collaboratively between its community and university partners. To this end, community researchers will play an integral role in the governance, planning, implementation and dissemination of the research along with the university-based researchers. The governance structure of the NSRJ-CURA reflects this commitment to collaboration.
For more information on the NSRJ-CURA please see our Results Management Accountability Framework (RMAF).

PDRHA's Company Secretary, Alison Clamp, was delighted to receive an award from the Peak District National Park Authority at a presentation on 21st November. The awards invited nominations of recent buildings in the National Park which demonstrated good design. PDRHA had nominated its scheme of six houses and two bungalows in Youlgrave. Completed in 2015, the development was built in close partnership with Youlgrave Community Land Trust. Anne Croasdell the CLT's secretary and representative on the Board of PDRHA accompanied Alison to the awards. The homes were one of 9 developments nominated. It was one of two developments commended by the judges in the 'residential' section of the awards. The winner was Contour House, a grand design home near Baslow.
The scheme was praised for its sensitive design, especially the way in which it steps up the hillside. Its careful detailing, landscaping and enclosure in stone walls were also mentioned.


Jacques Louis David excelled in historical paintings and in portraits. His paintings are characterized by fine composition and draftsmanship, with figures and forms of sculptural dignity as is the case with the 1800 painting Bonaparte Crossing the Alps.
David dedicated his artistry to the service of glorifying France�s great hero, Napoleon. Perhaps the most powerful of all David�s images of Napoleon is the first of many commissions, recording the 1800 crossing of the St. Bernard Pass. Napoleon requested a traditional image of equestrian dominance, showing him calm on a fiery steed, and David complied with a heroic and spirited stallion. In reality, Napoleon crossed the alps on a sure-footed mule. According to David, it was not appropriate for a man of destiny to be depicted on such an animal so he painted him on a dashing charger.
In his painting Bonaparte Crossing the Alps, Napoleon shows the calm assurance and ease of his authorative control as he glances outward toward us, the viewer, yet his extended arm provides the martial command. This assurance is even more impressive against the backdrop of jagged mountains, already eliciting fear and awe generated by this majestic sight and showing animal terror in the face of the rearing horse.
The authenticity of this event has been inscribed literally by David where the name Bonaparte has been added on a foreground rock to two famous predecessors in crossing the alps with their armies: Hannibal and Charlemagne (not easily legible in the painting).
David worked hard to create the myth of Napoleon. It took him four months with his assistants to complete Bonaparte Crossing the Alps.

HONDA and other Japanese firms will pull out of Britain if the Government fails to secure free access to the EU market, according to the country's ambassador.
The car giant, which has a manufacturing plant in South Marston, was among firms that sent top executives to discuss Brexit at a Downing Street meeting.
The ambassador's comments raised the prospect of thousands of jobs being lost if the Government fails to negotiate a frictionless trade deal.
Koji Tsuruoka was asked after Thursday's meeting if companies would leave Britain if there was no agreement. He replied: "If there is no profitability of continuing operations in the UK - not Japanese only - then no private company can continue operations.
"It is as simple as that. This is all high stakes that all of us, I think, need to keep in mind."
Mr Tsuruoka said manufactures in particular "expected" free access to the EU market.
Nissan and Toyota also sent executives to the meeting, along with Japanese banks Nomura, Mizuho and Sumitomo Mitsui, train manufacturer Hitachi and tech and energy firms.
They were hosted by Theresa May and cabinet ministers including Chancellor Philip Hammond, Business Secretary Greg Clarke and International Trade Secretary Liam Fox.
The ambassador spoke outside No10 afterwards.
Len McCluskey, the head of Unite, which represents Honda workers, took aim at the Government over the pace of Brexit negotiations.
Mr McCluskey said: "This continued confusion is causing damaging uncertainty among the major manufacturers that I am meeting.
"Investment decisions vital for our future are being delayed, threatening jobs."
Matt Griffith, policy director of Business West, a not-for-profit company supporting businesses in the region, warned that the ambassador's words carried weight in Swindon and Wiltshire.
He said: "Japanese firms are highly productive – they also have a significant footprint. Not least Honda, which has its sole EU car manufacturing plant in Swindon, employing 4,000 people in skilled manufacturing jobs.
The ambassador's comments follow Honda saying in late 2016 that it would continue to produce vehicles in Britain despite the Brexit vote.
No10 insisted that the 'roundtable' summit had focused on how to make the UK "an even more attractive destination" for Japanese businesses.
A spokesman said: "The Prime Minister reaffirmed the Government's commitment to securing a new deep and special partnership with the EU as the UK leaves the EU."

From Adman To Stand-Up: Jim Gaffigan's Transition Took A Few Good Naps
By Danny Hajek
Published July 19, 2015 at 5:09 PM EDT
Jim Gaffigan spent years in stand-up before, finally, someone took a chance on him: that someone just happened to be David Letterman. "The weird thing is, because Letterman thought I was good, everyone changed their mind," he says. "It changed the narrative surrounding me, completely."
As part of a series called My Big Break ,All Things Considered is collecting stories of triumph, big and small. These are the moments when everything seems to click, and people leap forward into their careers .
On stage, Jim Gaffigan comes off as an everyday kind of guy. Bearded, pale, the comedian riffs on the mundane stuff — like Hot Pockets, doughnuts and family vacations to Disneyland.
Still, don't let that fool you: In the cutthroat world of comedy, he's made it. He's about to hit the the road with a national tour, and The Jim Gaffigan Show just premiered on TV Land this week.
It's something of a fulfillment of the ambitious dreams he's harbored since he was young; as a kid, he had a romantic notion of getting into the entertainment industry. But for a long time, those hopes of hitting it big seemed so far away.
"I grew up in a small town in Indiana, where there was no one that had a cousin in the entertainment industry," Gaffigan says. "The closest thing to the entertainment industry was the marching band. I think it was a very successful marching band, to be fair to them."
When Gaffigan moved to New York City after college, he was still a long way from the spotlight. He was stuck in a cubicle as an account manager.
"I was working in advertising while I was developing stand-up — essentially bombing," he recalls.
He would work his 9-to-5 job, then go to an acting class and do a stand-up gig at a local club. When he got into work the next morning, he'd be so tired from the previous night that he would take naps in his cubicle.
Luckily for him, his colleagues thought his napping just habits made him "eccentric." But his bosses were a different matter. It was only a matter of time before management noticed.
"They had to wake me up to fire me," he says. "My boss had to shake me. ... She was like, 'I'm going to have to lay you off.' "
It turns out that getting fired was the best thing that could've happened to him. His money was saved up, and he had some experience on stage and lots of material to work with.
So he pursued stand-up full-time. Still, Gaffigan says it was a long road to success.
"I think I'd been doing stand-up for seven or eight years," he says. "And I was not really getting much success or traction. And I would audition for things and the person that I would be auditioning for would literally leave the room. Just a lot of bad luck."
He knew that an appearance on a late-night talk show would turn things around. Gaffigan grew up watching David Letterman, and he'd always looked up to the longtime host. So he auditioned for a spot on the Late Show — and made the cut.
When he finally made his debut in January 1999, Gaffigan found himself performing in front of the whole country.
"My big break was appearing on [Letterman's show]. It was a big deal," Gaffigan says. "And the weird thing is, because Letterman thought I was good, everyone changed their mind. It changed the narrative surrounding me, completely. ... It's just a strange transformation. Someone essentially turns on a light switch, and it just changes."

A Cambridge resident is aiming to set up a pedestrian campaign for the city after claims that 'pressures on space and priorities seem to side-line those who walk'.
Bruce Stuart, 61, is searching for others to help him establish and support a campaign, including anyone who could help set up a website and spread the word on social media.
He wants to follow the example of the Cambridge Cycling Campaign - and give a voice to pedestrians in the city who may feel overlooked.
Bruce told the News: "This situation has been bubbling over for some time. I'm not biased; I'm a cyclist and driver as well and I often travel round the centre of Cambridge.
"The bottom line is there are priorities that need to be adjusted; at the moment motorists come first, cyclists second and pedestrians a lowly third.
"It's a mind-set issue more than anything else, but pedestrians are the ignored majority in Cambridge."
Bruce said that cyclists riding on pavements in the city is a big issue - and something needed to be done to tackle this, otherwise accidents between pedestrians and cyclists would only increase.
He added: "If you're a pedestrian in the city you are limited in how you move through Cambridge because of vehicle traffic.
"Road surfaces for pedestrians stop and start all the time while surfaces for vehicles and cyclists go on and on.
"Some of the developments plans for the county take into account vehicles and cyclists, but not pedestrians.
"We are seeing more and more ideas and examples of sustainable cities; it will one day be the pedestrians and cyclists that take over Cambridge and vehicles will be controlled as to when they can come in or out."
Bruce also added that cyclists use shared pavements for both themselves and pedestrians, but they 'seem to think they can cycle as fast as they want'.
He said that cyclists 'forget' they are going so much faster than pedestrians - and that is dangerous.
Bruce is keen to hear from anyone who may be able to help him with his campaign – especially those who have skills in managing such a group or in website design and maintenance.
Anyone who thinks they can help Bruce with his pedestrian campaign should call 01223 576916 or email brucestuart@me.com.
In response to the claims made by Bruce about cyclists and motorists, Roxanne De Beaux from the Cambridge Cycling Campaign said members are 'very interested in and supportive of a group representing people who walk'.
She added: "Camcycle welcomes news that a pedestrian campaigning group may be started in Cambridge. We have often been the only voice for walking in the many consultations and pubic meetings we participate in and we have tried to encourage such a group to start.
"Contrary to the beliefs of some, cycling and walking are not at odds with each other. Everyone is a pedestrian at some point in their journey.
"We strongly oppose the use of shared-use pavements as they can cause conflict between people walking and cycling. We also strongly oppose the perpetual problem in Cambridge and the UK of vehicles parking on pavements and cycle-lanes.
"We campaign for suitable cycle parking provision so that cycles are not left blocking the pavement. We want to see junction designs that ensure the safety and convenience of both pedestrians and cyclists are prioritised.
"We have been in touch with Mr Stuart to offer our support and advice. We have identified many ways in which our interests align and hope that we can work together to campaign for improvement to the city and the surrounding area."
Steve Gooding, director of independent motoring charity the RAC Foundation, said: "In 2014, 446 pedestrians were killed in Britain, a 12 per cent increase on the previous year and a quarter of all fatalities.
"Cars have become significantly safer for their occupants but it remains a challenge to protect vulnerable road users hit by motor vehicles.
"Giving pedestrians more rights of way particularly in dense urban areas and prioritising their passage could help improve safety - but whenever road space is reallocated there will be other consequences to weigh up in terms of air quality, congestion and potentially the safety of other road users."
Neil Greig, Policy and Research Director at road safety charity the Institute of Advanced Motorists, said: "Whilst we do have sympathy with the plight of pedestrians in any city our transport system has grown organically over many decades and it will take time and money to fix.
"Most planners now put the car at the bottom of the hierarchy so it is simply not true to say that the needs of pedestrians are being ignored.
"The ultimate 'safe system' involves the segregation of motorised vehicles from vulnerable pedestrians and cyclists or the provision of high quality 'shared space'.
"Neither of these things can happen overnight but Cambridge is probably well ahead of the game compared to many other places in England.
"In the meantime drivers should be on the lookout for the vulnerable and stay alert to new road layouts and changed priorities.
"If you can buy a car with city braking as standard that will also help and in the long term technology such as pedestrian airbags will be part of the solution."

The British Library has just released an app for the iPad called British Library 19th Century Historical Collection App. What makes this different than any of the other collections of public domain fiction out there? Simply the fact that these are not digital files. They are scanned copies of early printings and first editions of a wide range of 18th and 19th century books.
I've just been perusing a collection of stories by Mrs. Henry Wood (Ellen Wood to those in the know) and looking at the title page of a 1882 printing of Frankenstein. There are easily 30+ novels in here that I would love to read. And there are also books on History, Poetry, Geography -- okay, I need to breathe! The only thing missing right now that I would love is Natural History. But I assume that it will appear as they add titles. They've launched with a decent number of titles but plan to increase it to 60,000 volumes by the end of the summer. The Beeb is impressed and so am I.
The current version is free but they will charge some undisclosed amount for an upgraded version later when there is more content. The app was created by Bibliolabs, LLC and it really is stellar. The pages are slightly yellowed, the covers are old and a bit faded and it is a book lover's heaven.
Yes, I read about this, it sounds wonderful! It's almost tempting to buy an iPad so I can make use of it.
I love the irony of these yellowed old pages of classics being read on a modern device like an iPad! Enjoy!
Aw, that's charming. I haven't got an iPad (and likely to keep it that way), but it's fun that someone invented this for iPad users.
Tracy - I haven't done any reading on my iPad yet but that will change with this. Being able to read what looks like a regular book is somehow easier for me than just large blocks of text. And the out-of-print Victorian novels are irresistable!
Jenners - I know, it's such a strange mix but I think it might be the thing to break that book/machine barrier that some readers just can't get past.
Jenny - It will be interesting to see if at some point there is an e-reader that keeps the book formatting.
Oh man, now I want an iPad! What an interesting pairing of very old and very new.

World Breastfeeding Week, which runs from 1-7 August calls for "concerted global action to support women to combine breastfeeding and work. Whether a woman is working in the formal, non-formal or home setting, it is necessary that she is empowered in claiming her and her baby's right to breastfeed."
This year's theme revisits the 1993 campaign on the Mother-Friendly Workplace Initiative. Since then there has been some progress, including the the adoption of the revised International Labour Organization (ILO) Convention 183 on Maternity Protection with much stronger maternity entitlements, and more country actions on improving national laws and practices. More employers have taken action to become more breastfeeding or mother-friendly workplaces, but there is still much work to be done.
Breastfeeding is a human right, but does society truly enable women to breastfeed? The Institute of Development Studies' Inka Barnett writes for openDemocracy.

The Suzerain
Manipulations always end in disaster. The Great Asian dollar-repurchase scheme represents the largest exchange rate manipulation the world has ever seen. A tragedy is unfolding…
The monetary world is one of competing devaluations, currency blocs, exchange controls, political posturing and jawboning – in short, a sort of serial economic conflict. Where once all money found a common denominator in some metal, today's currency is fragmented money with an added layer of political instability on top of the natural uncertainty of free market prices.
This added uncertainty is not without consequence. Capital as a financial concept is defined by the price of money. Monetary calculus takes place in dollars, or yen, or euros, amongst a myriad of other monetary symbols. When that money price no longer reflects the realities of supply and demand, becoming distorted – as is often the case when the political mixes with the economic – you have the ingredients for a crisis.
Currency manipulation is effectively a cloaking device, where political ambition seeks to change the natural pattern of the market. Today, it is frequently in the news, as America continues to suffer job losses to nations that can produce the same for less. Chief among the new habitats for these migrating jobs is China.
Suzerain: Exchange-Rate Manipulation
The Chinese yuan is linked to the dollar, as are other Asian currencies – the Hong Kong dollar, and the Malaysian ringgit. Japan, while not officially pegging the yen to the dollar, has joined its Asian neighbors as a large purchaser of U.S. dollars. As James Grant noted in the April 9 issue of Grant's, "The pell-mell purchase of dollars for yen, renminbi and other Asian currencies constitutes the largest exchange-rate manipulation in the history of the world."
By absorbing America's prodigious production of dollars, the finance ministries of Japan and China, in particular, have helped to bolster the dollar's value. The Asian countries follow this path to keep their own currencies from appreciating against the dollar, thereby protecting what they perceive to be the key to their own prosperity – namely, exports.
In times when the paper monetary emissions of a nation's government were redeemable in specie, such a charade had a definite life span that was circumscribed by its gold stock. Eventually, the offending treasury's gold reserves would start to dwindle, and the inflation would either have to be brought to heel or the gold standard suspended (which happened frequently enough). Either way, the jig was up. Not so in today's accommodating monetary marketplace, which allows for evermore widespread and extended inflations.
Nonetheless this, too, will end, as all manipulations end, in disaster. It will end in devaluation, as tremendous purchases of dollars cannot be sustained. That is the way of all unsustainable trends. They go on for longer than most people think likely, eliciting elegant theories to rationalize them…and then the trends stop, usually to the surprise of many and to the detriment of their portfolios.
Suzerain: Ceding Monetary Policy to the US
The relationship between these Asian countries and the U.S. is such that the Asian countries seem to have ceded their discretion over monetary policy to the U.S. Ludwig von Mises observed that the monetary policy of one nation voluntarily becomes a satellite of a foreign power when it pegs its own country's currency rigidly to the currency of a monetary "suzerain-country." Under such an arrangement, the pegged-currency country is bound to follow all the changes the "suzerain" brings about in its own currency, against other currencies and against gold.
Today, it is not hard to discern that the U.S. is the suzerain. China, for as long as she cares to link her currency at a fixed rate with the dollar, is forever at the mercy of U.S. dollar policy.
The media highlights China's advantage, however…derived, they say, chiefly from the fact that her currency is deliberately fixed at a cheaper value than the market might independently appraise. But China's policy in this regard is hardly wholly beneficial to China. China sells its exports for dollars. These dollars have gotten cheaper and will likely get cheaper still. China sells, and in return receives notes that, in a sense, will never be repaid at par value.
But the cycle doesn't stop there. Devaluations are often followed by more devaluations, as each nation is deluded into thinking that the way to prosperity is to destroy the native currency to stimulate exports and to preserve jobs. "At the end of this race," Mises warned, "is the complete destruction of all nations' monetary systems."
Whatever the advantages put forth by advocates of devaluation, Mises pointed out that they were at best temporary, resting entirely on the fact that adjustments to currency changes take time. Temporarily, exports are stimulated by devaluation, as that nation's goods and services suddenly appear cheaper to customers overseas and abroad. But ultimately, devaluation simply means that those bound by the currency must work that much harder to purchase the same quantity of foreign goods that they were able to purchase before for less work. Devaluations make one poorer, not richer.
Any manipulation of exchange rates, devaluation or otherwise, creates imbalances and tensions that foment crisis and economic ruin. China, by continuing to allow for the cheap accumulation of yuan with overpriced dollars, is doing U.S. consumers a favor that cannot last.
When China stops, and when the rest of Asia follows suit, the end result ought to be higher interest rates and a cheaper dollar…not to mention painful economic adjustments.
Christopher Mayer
P.S. The end of Asia's vendor-financing scheme will herald unhappy times for the holders of many U.S. financial assets, but it will likely reward those that have hedged or sold their dollars for assets likely to rise against the dollar. The biggest casualty will likely be the U.S. housing market. [Ed note: The demise of the dollar-repurchase scheme will come about abruptly…and perhaps much sooner than you think. Are you prepared?

Capital & Crisis
WWWD?
Many investors believe Warren Buffet walks on water. Many think he has the gift of prophesy. Even the cynical financial press regards him as a minor divinity, able to transform base metals into pure gold.
The Sage of the Plains…the Oracle of Omaha…is there any accolade so dear that the world's second-richest man cannot afford it?
Of course, Warren Buffett is a fool like all of us, and a bigger fool than many. We know that not by tallying his money…but by checking his politics. We find that he is backing John Kerry in the presidential race. Why? What is he thinking? The only worse choice would be George W. Bush! But Buffett likes Kerry because the democratic candidate has promised to raise his taxes. Buffett would like to pay more.
Of course, Buffett could perfectly well send as much of his money to Washington to fritter away as he would like. What he means to say is not that he would like to pay more in taxes, but that he would like you to pay more. In this we see some unfairness. Even if the marginal tax rate were 90%, it would not affect Buffett's lifestyle in the slightest way. You and I, dear reader, might actually feel a pinch.
But our beat here at the Daily Reckoning is money, not politics. We choose money because it is more entertaining and less costly. Besides, there are no fundraisers to attend.
So, what would Warren do? WWWD?
We found out over the weekend as Warren conducted his annual 'Woodstock of Capitalism' meeting.
We already knew what the lumpeninvestors were doing. They've been mortgaging their homes…and putting money into stocks at a near-record rate. Inflows into equity funds reached $43.8 billion in January…and a total of $75 billion in the first quarter, not much less than the amounts invested during the bubble peak in early 2000.
We know also that investors and investment advisors have rarely been so positive in their views. An overwhelming majority expect stocks to go up at least until after the election; nearly as many think they will go up forever.
We can't help but wonder. Anyone reading the paper must now know that the best investor who ever lived thinks otherwise. Almost all financial assets are "more than fully priced," says Buffett. He sees no stocks worth buying. He has no interest in getting shares in Google. He believes inflation is "heating up." And he is now betting against the currency in which almost all Americans' wealth is calibrated – the U.S. dollar. Buffett has more than a third of his enormous cash pile invested in foreign currencies.
WWDWWD. We would do what Warren does. More or less. We would sell expensive shares and hold cash – either in euros, or in gold.
But the lumpen are betting that Buffett is wrong. What must they think? That they are smarter than Buffett? That they understand the financial markets better than he? That they – by some gift of the gods – will be luckier than the man who has been luckiest of all?
Of course, they may turn out to be right on all points. But it is a remarkable wager.
Over to the East Coast for more news:
Addison Wiggin from the 'Old Line' state…
– Any trader, analyst or investor worth their weight in salt knows that today is the day when the teddy bears at the Fed have their picnic. Despite widespread predictions of 'no change,' the troup of market spectators and commentators will be braced to rip Greenspan's commentary to shreds in their search for clues: are Teddy bears still Teddy bears, or are they morphing into Teddy Bulls?
– Like circus goers packing the big top, all eyes are on Greenspan, who has just stepped out onto the tight rope. There is no safety net in this circus…this is the real deal. The crowd is hushed, and even the clowns (Jim Cramer is one of them) have shut up for a second, dropping their unicycles and custard pies to watch the Maestro. One false step, a random gust of wind, or even an untimely sneeze could prompt disaster…deflation to one side, inflation on the other…frying pan or fire?
– "No one expects the U.S. central bank to raise interest rates at Tuesday's policy session," assumes Reuters, "but Fed watchers said a post-meeting statement needs to bow to recent strong economic data and free the Fed's hand for eventual action…economists are increasingly convinced the recovery is durable – the past three quarters have seen the strongest economic growth in 20 years – and some think the Fed risks doing too little too late to head off inflation."
– But what if we just step back for a moment, dear reader, and speculate what might happen if they did raise rates today? We called our favorite analyst, Dan Denning, to get his take…
– "Raising rates now? Before the jobs report? It would be an unmitigated disaster. Nobody could predict what might happen. The Fed needs to go nice and slow, get everyone warmed up, then make a move. Raising today would smack of desperation. Besides, the debt-sponsored consumer-spending glut would stop dead in its tracks. The ramifications for the housing bull would not be pretty…"
– Talk about a housing bull…it's hard not to talk about a housing bull. It's impossible to avoid. Everybody feels rich and clever and shrewd for having bought a house. Now they want more, and there's no shortage of banks and pseudo-banks to lend the equity. But a rise in interest rates, albeit a small rise, will have profound consequences – mortgage defaults, collapsing lenders, collapsing stocks, collapsing bonds…maybe even collapsing banks.
– "Consumer spending, which has been a major prop for the stock market's gains, may fade in coming months, raising questions about where the economy and stocks will draw future strength," reports Kenneth Barry at Reuters. "Consumer spending, which accounts for 70% of U.S. economic activity, has benefited from fiscal stimulus like tax cuts and from easy credit engineered by the Federal Reserve, but these stimulants have pretty much run their course."
– Stocks were sold hard last week, and yesterday they bounced…the S&P added 10 points to 1,118, up nearly one percent. The Dow Jones added 88 to 10,314 and the Nasdaq gained 19, 0.97%, to close at 1,939. Otherwise, the markets echoed the Fed's nonchalance…the dollar rose slightly against the euro and the yen, and also against silver, which fell 4¢. Gold bucked the trend and rose, adding 60¢ to $387.65.
– Adding some more fog to an already cloudy outlook, the ISM manufacturing index for April eased to 62.4 from 62.5 in March. Although the figures are virtually unchanged, a reading over 50 implies growth in the manufacturing sector. The reading has now exceeded 60 for 6 months straight, and now at just a whisker shy of the January reading – which at 63.6 was the highest in two decades – the latest report may add further fuel to the Fed's fire. Hmmmn…
Bill Bonner, back in London…
*** Watch out! Richard Russell tells us that a combination of indicators has touched off what is known as the "Hindenburg Omen." You will recall that the Hindenburg was a German airship that burst into flames over New Jersey and collapsed. There were no survivors. Russell warns that the stock market is in "potential crash mode."
*** Poor Frank Quattrone. When the SEC began sniffing around, the dumbbell told his staff to "clean up those files." This single act of tidiness is likely to get the man 1 to 2 years in Federal prison. After earning $120 million a year helping to puff up the tech stock bubble, the poor man will bring in only $4 per day in the hoosegow.
At least he won't have to worry about his job being outsourced to India.
*** What is wrong with the Lords? Today's Times of London brings news that the Lords have come up with a plan that will make the House of Lords an "indirectly elected" group.
The saving grace of Lords was that they were not elected; they were chosen by the luck of birth rather than the fraud of elections. Now, the Lords will soon reflect the same grasping, low-life, clod politics as Commons…or the U.S. Congress.
*** And now we come to religion.
For over on page 22, the Times reports:
"Vatican cuts out kissing and pew-jumping at Communion."
This comes as good news. We recall the dignified church services before the '70s; we never quite took to the hugging and kissing and wandering around during the passing of the peace that came later. It seemed out of keeping with the solemn atmosphere; it broke the spell. We're glad the pope put a stop to it.
Our family became Catholic without intending to do so. Out in rural France, we found no Episcopal churches within commuting distance.
Many of our friends cannot understand it. Like our own son, Jules, 16, they wonder why we should go to church at all.
"You don't know whether any of this stuff is true," they say. "Why waste your time believing in mysteries…and going to church?"
Here, we have no ready answer.
Yesterday, we dined with an old friend…and asked for news of a mutual friend who has been fighting cancer.
"Bad…" came the reply. "He went down to a clinic in Mexico, but it was too late. They flew him home. He has only a few days left."
"May God be with him…"
"But he's an atheist…"
"Well, I doubt if God cares what he thinks. He may have gotten no comfort in this world…but God will decide for Himself what he gets in the next."
Unlike the tawdry frauds and conceits of secular life, the promise of Christianity is so magnificent and so elegant…we would admire it, even if we were not True Believers.
Our expectations are modest – more poetic than logical. Maybe we will get into heaven and maybe we won't; but at least, while we are alive, we can offer our family what W.B. Yeats described as a little "custom and ceremony" where "innocence and beauty" might flourish.
Besides, we like to pray to God before making an important decision. We get the answer we wanted anyway…and have someone to blame if it doesn't work out.

Q: get torch (flash) state to toggle it in android M I want to implement toggle torch functionality. So that the camera does not get captured and crash - as in Lollipop - I am attempting it with setTorchMode in API 23.
I have a code implementation to turn on or off the torch; however, I don't know how to check the current state of the flash.
CameraManager manager = (CameraManager) getSystemService(Context.CAMERA_SERVICE);
try {
    String[] cameras = manager.getCameraIdList();
    for (int i = 0; i < cameras.length; i++) {
        CameraCharacteristics characteristics = manager.getCameraCharacteristics(cameras[i]);
        boolean flashAvailable = characteristics.get(CameraCharacteristics.FLASH_INFO_AVAILABLE);
        if (flashAvailable) {
            boolean flashState = getFlashState(); //MISSING METHOD
            manager.setTorchMode(cameras[i], !flashState);

        }

    }

} catch (CameraAccessException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

So, how do I implement getFlashState without using the old camera API? And is it possible to do it without capturing the camera?

A: You can try using
CameraManager.TorchCallback torchCallback = new TorchCallback() {
    @Override
    public void onTorchModeUnavailable(String cameraId) {
        super.onTorchModeUnavailable(cameraId);
    }

    @Override
    public void onTorchModeChanged(String cameraId, boolean enabled) {
        super.onTorchModeChanged(cameraId, enabled);
        flashState = enabled;
    }
};

and register callback with
CameraManager manager = (CameraManager) context.getSystemService(Context.CAMERA_SERVICE);
    manager.registerTorchCallback(torchCallback, null);// (callback, handler)

when you want to turn on / off the flash uses
manager.setTorchMode(cameras[i], !flashState);

Remember unregister callback...

A: Go through the link1 and link2 you will get the solution.
android.flash.mode will help you to get the FLASH mode.

Q: Unable to setup NIH's Medical Condition API (with Auto-completion) in React App I am building a react app right now and one of the features allows users to look up medical conditions. I'm trying to use the NIH's open-source API with their auto-completion module.
Their documentation is here: https://clinicaltables.nlm.nih.gov/apidoc/conditions/v3/doc.html
I opted to use their npm package for autocompletion (as opposed to the CDN), which can be found here: https://www.npmjs.com/package/autocomplete-lhc
I pasted the source (https://jsfiddle.net/api/post/library/pure/) into my component. However, the search feature doesn't work, and the only thing that shows up on my browser is:
"See more items (Ctl Ret)
Search Results
Search Hint"

This is my component code:
import React from 'react';
import Def from 'autocomplete-lhc';

function SearchDiseases() {

  new Def.Autocompleter.Search('condition',
    'https://clinicaltables.nlm.nih.gov/api/conditions/v3/search');

  return (

Search Medical Conditions

        <input type="text" id="condition" placeholder="Condition"/>

  )
}

export default SearchDiseases;

And these are the errors I'm getting in the google chrome console:

fire show 120602
Sunday, 120603 przxqgl
well, the fire show at reed was fun, but it very definitely was NOT the show that we rehearsed… 😐
apparently chris massively overestimated the influence excercised by the people who were organising this whole shindig (it was definitely complicated by the modern version of HIF), combined with the fact that almost everything that we were going to do is either prohibited unless you have a permit from the fire marshall, or outright illegal… thus, no pyro, no dust effects (fire cyclone, playing with fire), and no gas cannons… and, it turns out that even big bois with poise is only marginally legal, because apparently portland has a law that has been in effect since 2001 (which was well before we performed there, without any problems at all, a few years ago) which states that the legal limit is 2 fire performers on stage at the same time…
but the majority of the audience didn't know what we were going to be performing anyway, so we pressed on in spite of the fact that we didn't get our pyro permit.
and macque has a professional relationship with the very laid-back, closet pyromaniac, fire marshall, who "inspected" our gear — in reality, he actually said we were supposed to inspect the gear — and basically said that he would be in the audience, watching, which macque said was "inspector speak" for "i'm not going to be here, so don't fuck up."
it started out with an impressive 15-minute fireworks display shot by the innocuously-named western display (which had a permit for pyro) that included at least two shots which resulted in a lot of yelling and scurrying around by various "professional" fire-safety guys… seriously, we didn't have as many, or as spectacular mistakes as they did. and then we did 3 comets, one with steel wool (which burned out in a minute or so) and two sage/cedar comets that burned for 10 minutes — which was a lot longer than we expected. then there was an "interpretive dance" with sparklers, by Remedios Rapoport, who is someone i know, vaguely, through the chautauqua. we finished off with a full performance of big bois with poise — the one we did for AGT was only 90 seconds, this one had four verses and full costumes (i.e. flaming boobs), and a MUCH more positive reaction from the audience.
so, it was fun, and it definitely put me in a different state of mind than i would have been in if i had not gone.

Defender Dave Winfield is under no illusions that Shrewsbury Town can expect a tough test at Darren Ferguson's Peterborough United tomorrow.
The Posh are riding high in League One and have been scoring plenty of goals.
But Town will head to London Road in good spirits following last weekend's impressive 2-0 victory over Gillingham.
"It is a tough game but we'll prepare right and we'll go there looking to do a job," said Winfield. Everyone's excited to go out and play.
"They've done well and have got some good threats in their team. We'll be looking to try and nullify them as much as possible."
Winfield was pleased to play his part in helping Town keep a clean sheet against the Gills and he's hungry for lots more shut outs to make Shrewsbury hard to beat.
"Every game we prepare differently for but we'll go and try and put our game plan together," added Winfield, now keen to enjoy a run in the side after a stop-start opening to his Greenhous Meadow career.
"You're going out there to win three points, that's the view from both sides, and we'll try and do our best and what we've been training for."


Lust is the love of the pleasures that are contrary to purity.
See, my children! Jesus Christ endured patiently, among His Apostles, men who were proud, ambitious, greedy – even one who betrayed Him; but He could not bear the least stain of impurity in any of them; it is of all vices that which He has most in abhorrence: "My Spirit does not dwell in you," the Lord says, "if you are nothing but flesh and corruption." God gives up the impure to all the wicked inclinations of his heart. He lets him wallow, like the vile swine, in the mire, and does not even let him smell its offensive exhalations.... The immodest man is odious to everyone, and is not aware of it. God has set the mark of disgrace on his forehead, and he is not ashamed; he has a face of brass and a heart of bronze; it is in vain you talk to him of honor, of virtue; he is full of arrogance and pride. The eternal truths, death,judgment, Paradise, Hell – nothing terrifies him, nothing can move him. So, my children, of all sins, that of impurity is the most difficult to eradicate. Other sins forge for us chains of iron, but this one makes them of bull's hide, which can be neither broken nor torn; it is a fire, a furnace, which consumes even to the most advanced old age. See those two infamous old men who attempted the purity of the chaste Susannah; they had kept the fire of their youth even till they were decrepit. When the body is worn out with debauchery, when they can no longer satisfy their passions, they supply the place of it, oh, shame! by infamous desires and memories.


Visit our online scheduling system and store so you can easily confirm your scheduled appointments, see available time slots and purchase personal training sessions and related products.
We thank you so much for choosing us to assist you on your quest towards your personal best. We want to take a moment to remind you of a few very important procedures and the type of Client Etiquette that our regular clients have grown to expect and appreciate. Please review carefully so you are fully aware of all procedures and guidelines.
Click on MY SCHEDULE: Access your schedule online so you can easily check and confirm your specific training times and be able to view available time slots from wherever you have internet access.
Click on APPOINTMENTS: Simply follow the instructions to schedule an appointment. YOu have the option to schedule the first available appointment or to schedule at a specific time, date or with a specific trainer. All cancellations or appointment reschedules must be done through a live Customer Service Rep to ensure accuracy. Call 360.574.7292 and we'll be happy to help you.
Click on MY HISTORY: View your visitation history and determine the number of sessions you have left in your account.
Click on MY PURCHASES: View your prior purchases and account activity.
Click on MY ACCOUNT: View all of your account history.
Click on CLASSES: View the current Group Training schedule.
Click on EVENTS: Register for an upcoming event.
Click on ONLINE STORE: Our virtual store. Purchase our books and DVDs. You can also purchase various other fitness products on this page courtesy of our online partners. Simply click on their company name and you will be directly linked to their online store. There is a lot of really cool items available to help you reach for your personal best.
Another convenient feature that will ensure world-class communication and minimize scheduling errors is that you will receive email confirmation for any changes to your account or schedule. In order to utilize all the features with this new program, you will need to enter your current email address so we can quickly update you with any changes to your schedule or account.
Last, we will store your credit or debit information in order to activate any automatic preauthorized payments. We want to assure you that your information is VERY secure. It will be maintained in encrypted form at an offsite location following stringent security standards by our merchant processing company. Our team at Northwest Personal Training will not have visibility to your credit/debit numbers. We will obtain this information at your original purchase.
Second, a cancellation policy is also important for us as a business. The average personal training studio can expect to experience a 25-40% cancellation rate of their weekly scheduled appointments. Can you imagine losing 25-40% of your business revenues or income every week? The fitness industry is different than most other service industries in that most people do not enjoy exercise and will often find convenient 'excuses' to get out of a workout. A hair-stylist doesn't need such a strict policy because most people eagerly anticipate getting their hair done; a massage therapist wouldn't have to enforce as firm a policy because few people want to miss their massages. These industries don't suffer from the high rate of cancellations that a personal training business does. You see, when you make an appointment with your trainer, we reserve that time for you. Your trainer spends time preparing for your session and some of our trainers drive quite a distance to be here for you. When a client cancels on short notice, it is very difficult (often impossible) for us to make a connection with another client who could possibly take that appointment. That time becomes lost revenue and a loss to the trainers' income that cannot be recovered.
I understand that Northwest Personal Training operates on a scheduled appointment basis for all Private Training sessions and thus, requires that I provide 24 hours' notice when canceling an appointment. No charge will be levied should I cancel with MORE than 24 hours' notice. Should I cancel a session with LESS than 24 hours' prior notice, I will be charged in full for that session. I understand that Northwest Personal Training recommends that all cancelled sessions be rescheduled to ensure consistency and fitness progress.
Our approach to dealing with this difficult situation is to educate our clients verbally and in written correspondence as to why this policy is critical for them and for our business. We are confident that if you understand our predicament, you will make every effort to give us advanced warning of a cancellation and, in the event you have to short-notice cancellation, it will be easier for you to understand the charge knowing the background information. We are also sympathetic and understand that things come up that may force you to cancel unexpectedly (illness, work and home emergencies, etc.). In the event of a short-notice cancellation, your trainer will use that time reserved to do something for you. For example, your trainer may research a health and nutrition topic of interest to you, design a new exercise program, or outline some exercises you can do at home. They may also use the time to brainstorm some new goals or pull together a report of your progress. You can also ask them to work on something specific for you during that time. We want you to understand that when you do have to cancel without 24 hours' notice, we will use that time for you so it will not be money wasted. Our computer system will also alert you when your account has been charged due to a short-notice cancellation.
Completion of a Package: In the event you run out of sessions in your account and have not yet purchased an additional package, you will be charged the single session price for any sessions you complete before renewing. However, we encourage you to purchase session packages or enroll in SMART Training in order to take advantage of our package discount pricing. This system ensures your account will never go in the negative. As a convenience, our computer system will send an email to alert you when you are nearing the end of your package. You can click on the link and update your account right then and there. As a convenient alternative, our system also enables you to predetermine a package renewal option. For example, if you always purchase twenty sessions, at the end of your twenty session package, you can authorize the system to automatically debit your account for the next package of twenty. This will save you a lot of time and when any changes or additions to your account are made, you will receive an email update.
Please check in at the customer service desk each visit and inform our staff of the type of training appointment you are there for so we can track your attendance.
Because we are a Personal Training studio, our equipment area is reserved for those clients who are being supervised by a Personal Trainer.
For all Private Training sessions, we ask that you arrive early to ensure you can begin your session right on time.
When you are scheduled for a Private Training session, your Personal Trainer may ask you to come in early or stay after to perform an independent cardiovascular workout on the indoor cardio machines reserved for this purpose.
We ask that you bring a water bottle with you for each workout. To hydrate adequately, drink plenty of fluids during your training sessions.
Heart rate monitors are available for Cardio workouts. You can check one out at the front desk. You will be asked to leave your keys, a driver's license or other piece of ID which will be returned to you once you are finished with the monitor. You may also purchase a Heart rate monitor from us so you can have your own.
Please be conscious of the amount of perfume or cologne that you wear while working out. Heavy amounts can be very disruptive to those with allergies.
Cleanliness is a high priority for us. If you ever notice something that has been overlooked and should be taken care of immediately, please inform our front desk customer service reps or one of our Trainers and we will take care of it right away. We have hourly cleanliness checks and a thorough janitorial service is completed each night after closing. You can also assist in keeping our training studio tidy, by placing all towels in laundry baskets when finished with them, tossing all garbage in the waste baskets provided and wiping any spilled water.
To help us maintain a clean and hygienic environment, we ask that all clients wipe down equipment and mats after usage. Disinfectant spray bottles are located in the Private Training and Group Training areas.
We ask that you lock up your items in the locker area. We do provide complimentary locks however, it's always more convenient if you have your own. An individual combination lock is best (that way you don't have to carry a key around with you while you workout). In order to allow for ample locker space for all clients, we ask that when you are done with your workouts you bring all personal items and your combination lock home with you. We thank you in advance for your understanding.
You will be provided with one sweat and one shower towel each visit. When finished, please return all towels to the towel baskets provided in each locker area.
As a convenience to our clients, we offer various locker room amenities including shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, lotion, shaving cream, razors, and more. If we have overlooked stocking up on a certain supply, please inform the front desk customer service reps or one of our Trainers and we will take care of it immediately.
To enhance an environment that allows you to escape the demands of the world and to enable you to focus better doing your workouts therefore enhancing results, we ask that you turn off all cell phones and pagers in all workout areas.
To maintain our relaxing environment and for the safety of your children, we cannot accommodate unsupervised children. In the event that you must bring your child with you, you can choose to have a coaching session in your trainer's office. For liability reasons, children cannot play on any equipment unless they are actually scheduled for a training session and a parent waiver has been signed. Please do not interpret this as us not loving kids. Most of us have children and want to encourage a healthy lifestyle for them. However, in order to respect our clients' needs for a safe and calm environment and because of our space restrictions, we cannot currently offer a children's exercise or daycare program.
Free 2 hour parking is located in the lot on the corner of Broadway and Evergreen. Metered parking is located on all city streets in the vicinity and is Free on weekends, mornings before 8:00am and after 6:00pm on weekdays. Meter-maids are very efficient! The meters on 11th St offer 20 minutes free so be sure to take advantage of this.
Before you start with our Group Training programs, we ask that you attend your first Private Training session with a trainer to ensure you choose the right programs based on your goals and you learn how to use the various pieces of equipment that will be utilized during Group Training programs.
When you and your trainer decide on a Group Training schedule that will work best with your life and for your goals, you will reserve space into these time slots and will be contacted if you don't show up. This will provide you with the accountability that most people need to help them stick to their program. If you continually miss appointments, you may be given 50 lashes – just kidding – but we may ask you to sit down with us to determine a better schedule for you.
In order to take full advantage of a proper warm-up and cool down, secure your space and equipment, and so as to not to disturb your fellow workout buddies, we ask that you arrive on time and stay until the end of all Group Training sessions. If you are running late or absolutely need to leave early, we ask that you enter or exit quickly and quietly. Please understand that entering or leaving a Yoga program or any type of session during a meditative, focused segment can be disruptive to the other exercisers.
To allow your Group Personal Trainer to guide you appropriately through each workout, please advise them if you are a beginner, pregnant, have high blood pressure or any other medical condition, injury, or pain that may affect your session.
Feel free to attend multiple Group Training sessions back to back during each visit.
As a Group Training client, you can bring an invited guest to a Group Training session. This complimentary visit can only be redeemed by the same individual once.
If you have any other suggestions that will help us service you better and provide an invigorating, safe, and welcoming workout environment, please let us know.


I have an application that writes information to file. This information is used post-execution to determine pass/failure/correctness of the application. I'd like to be able to read the file as it is being written so that I can do these pass/failure/correctness checks in realtime. I assume it is possible to do this, but what are the gotchas involved when using Java. If the reading catches up to the writing, will it just wait for more writes up until the file is closed? or will the read throw an exception at this point and then what do I do? My intuition is currently pushing me towards BufferedStreams. Is this the way to go?
Not Java per-se, but you may run into issues where you have written something to a file, but it hasn't been actually written yet - it might be in a cache somewhere, and reading from the same file may not actually give you the new information.
Short version - use flush() or whatever the relevant system call is to ensure that your data is actually written to the file.
Note I am not talking about the OS level disk cache - if your data gets into here, it should appear in a read() after this point. It may be that the language itself caches writes, waiting until a buffer fills up or file is flushed/closed.
I've never tried it, but you should write a test case to see if reading from a stream after you have hit the end will work, regardless of if there is more data written to the file.
Is there a reason you can't use a piped input/output stream? Is the data being written and read from the same application (if so, you have the data, why do you need to read from the file)?
Otherwise, maybe read till end of file, then monitor for changes and seek to where you left off and continue... though watch out for race conditions.
Writer.java writes a string to file and then waits for the user to hit enter before writing another line to file. The idea being that it could be started up, then a reader can be started to see how it copes with the "partial" file. The reader I wrote is in Reader.java.
No guarantees that this code is best practice.
This leaves the option suggested by Mike of periodically checking if there is new data to be read from the file. This then requires user intervention to close the file reader when it is determined that the reading is completed. Or, the reader needs to be made aware the content of the file and be able to determine and end of write condition. If the content were XML, the end of document could be used to signal this.
You might also take a look at java channel for locking a part of a file.
Of course the same thing would work as a timer instead of a Thread, but I leave that up to the programmer. I'm still looking for a better way, but this works for me for now.
Oh, and I'll caveat this with: I'm using 1.4.2. Yes I know I'm in the stone ages still.
Thanks for adding this ... something I never got around to doing. I think Blade's answer of locking the file is also a good one. However, it requires Java 6 (I think).
