THE LEICHHARDT TESTIMONIAL.
[Extract from the Sydney Herald, Sept. 22, 1846.]
YESTERDAY afternoon, a meeting of the subscribers to the Leichhardt Testimonial was held in the School of Arts.
At half-past three o'clock the Honourable the Speaker of the Legislative Council entered the room with Dr. Leichhardt, who was received with loud applause.
As soon as silence was restored, the Speaker rose and addressed Dr. Leichhardt. He said, The duty has been assigned to me of presenting to you, on behalf of a numerous body of colonists, an acknowledgment of the grateful sense they entertain of the services rendered by you to the cause of science and to the interests of this colony. Whilst I fully participate in the admiration with which your merits are universally acknowledged, I confess that I shrink from the task now imposed upon me, from a sense of my inability to do justice to it in language commensurate with the occasion. For indeed it would be difficult to employ any terms that might be considered as exaggerated, in acknowledging the enthusiasm, the perseverance, and the talent which prompted you to undertake, and enabled you successfully to prosecute, your late perilous journey through a portion of the hitherto untrodden wilds of Australia. An enthusiasm undaunted by every discouragement, a perseverance unextinguished by trials and hardships
which ordinary minds would have despaired of surmounting, a talent which guided and led you on to the full and final achievement of your first and original design.
It is needless for me to recall to the recollection of those around me, the circumstances under which the project of undertaking an overland journey to Port Essington was formed. The smallness of your party, and the scantiness of its equipment, the length and unknown character of the country proposed to be traversed, induced many to regard the scheme as one characterised by rashness, and the means employed as wholly inadequate towards carrying out the object in view. Many withheld their support from a dread lest they might be held as chargeable with that result which their sinister forebodings told them was all but inevitable with a small but adventurous band. You nevertheless plunged into the unknown regions that lay before you. After the lapse of a few months without any tidings of your progress or fate, the notion became generally entertained that your party had fallen victims to some one of the many dangers it had been your lot to encounter; that you had perished by the hands of the hostile natives of the interior; that want of water or exposure to tropical climate were even but a few of the many evils to which you had rendered yourself liable, and to the influence of some one or more of which it was but too probable you had fallen a prey. Two parties successively went out with the hope of overtaking you, or at least of ascertaining some particulars of your fate. The result of these efforts was, however, fruitless, and but few were so sanguine as to believe in the possibility of you or your comrades being still in existence. I need not recall to the recollection of those here present, the surprise, the enthusiasm, and the delight, with which your sudden appearance in Sydney was hailed, about six months ago. The surprise was about equal to what might be felt at
seeing one who had risen from the tomb; a surprise, however, that was equalled by the warm and cordial welcome with which you were embraced by every colonist; and when we listened to the narrative of your long and dreary journey—the hardships you had endured, the dangers you had braved, the difficulties you had surmounted—the feeling with which your return amongst us was greeted, became one of universal enthusiasm. For it would indeed be difficult to point out, in the career of any traveller, the accomplishment of an equally arduous undertaking, or one pregnant with more important results, whether we contemplate them in a scientific, an economical, or a political point of view. The traversing, for the first time by civilised man, of so large a portion of the surface of this island, could not fail to be attended with many discoveries deeply interesting to the scientific inquirer, in botany, geology, and zoology. Your contributions to each of these departments of knowledge have consequently been equally novel and valuable. In a social and economical point of view, it is difficult, if not impossible, to over-estimate the importance of the discovery recently made of an all but boundless extent of fertile country, extending to the north, soon to be covered with countless flocks and herds, and calculated to become the abode of civilized man. In its political aspect, the possession of an immense territory, now for the first time discovered to be replete with all those gifts of nature which are necessary for the establishment and growth of a civilized community, cannot be regarded as a fact of small importance; nor the possession of a continuous tract of fine and fertile land, that connects us with the shores of the Indian ocean, and which would appear to render the Australian continent a mere extension of the Anglo-Indian empire as a matter of indifference. It would be almost impossible to exaggerate the importance of these considerations; I shall, however, abstain from occupying your time
by dwelling upon what must be so obvious to all. The Colonists of New South Wales, Dr. Leichhardt, have been anxious to evince their gratitude to you for all that you have done in behalf of this their adopted country. As soon as your return was announced, subscriptions were entered into for the purpose of presenting to you a suitable testimonial. To the find raised for this purpose persons of all classes, and from every quarter of the colony, have contributed. The sum that has been raised amounts to £1518. 18s. 6d. The Executive, with a laudable emulation, have presented you a sum of £1000 from the Crown revenue. Gratifying as this demonstration must doubtlessly prove to your feelings, it is unquestionably beneath your deserts; and the substantial reward due to your past exertions will be found in the undying glory of having your name enrolled amongst those of the great men whose genius and enterprise have impelled them to seek for fame in the prosecution of geographical science—with those of Niebuhr, Burckhardt, Park, Clapperton, Lander, and, in Australian geography, with those of Oxley, Cunningham, Sturt, Eyre, and Mitchell. In these days of universal knowledge, when there are so many competitors for distinction in every department of science, few attain the desired goal of scientific eminence. Perhaps no one has so fair a chance of giving immortality to his name as he who has first planted his foot where civilized man had never before trodden. The first chapter in the history of Australia, some thousand years hence, will present a narration of those adventurous spirits—of the exploits of those who may fairly be considered its first conquerors, and by whose peaceful triumphs an empire had been added to the parent state. I cannot close this brief address without indulging in an aspiration for the safety and success of one now engaged in an enterprise similar to that from which you have earned so much honour. I allude to Sir T. Mitchell.
To enter upon any eulogium of the character or abilities of that distinguished officer on the present occasion, is uncalled for; the enterprise in which he is engaged must command the sympathy of every person here present, and I am sure of no one more than of yourself. In enterprises such as those in which both he and yourself are engaged, it may fairly be said the harvest is plentiful, the labourers are few —a kindred taste and zeal in the pursuit of a common object can be attended with no other than a worthy and generous emulation. It only remains for me to add one word to what I have already said—you have disclosed your intention of starting within a few weeks from the present time on another exploratory expedition. From your past career we may all safely indulge in sanguine anticipations as to your future success. That Providence may guide you in your wanderings and crown your future labours with new laurels is the ardent wish of all on whose behalf I now address you. Let me, however, beg that you will guard, against any unnecessary exposure to risk, that life in the preservation of which we all feel so deep a concern. With the assurance of the gratitude, esteem, and admiration of my brother colonists, permit me now to present you with £854, being the proportion of the public subscription awarded to you.
Dr. LEICHHARDT (who was evidently deeply affected) said: Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen, I thank you for the munificent gift with which you have honoured me—I thank you for the congratulations for the past—for your kind wishes for my approaching expedition.note I feel the more
the weight of your generous liberality, as I am conscious how much your kindness has overvalued my deserts; but I shall try to render myself worthy of it; and I hope that the Almighty, who has so mercifully taken care of me on my former expedition, will grant me skill and strength to continue my explorations, and will render them equally successful and beneficial to this colony. May his blessings attend the generous people who have shewn, by the honours they have done me, how great an interest they take in the advancement of discovery.
Mr. C. COWPER then moved a vote of thanks to the Committee and their Secretary, which was acknowledged by Mr. R. GRAHAM, when the business of the meeting closed.
THOSE who appreciate the value of Dr. Leichhardt's scientific exploration of the country from Moreton Bay to Port Essington, and who feel any interest in his record of the difficulties of his enterprise, will be glad to learn that the Royal Geographical Society of London has recently awarded him the Queen's Gold Medal, in acknowledgment of his services; and that the Royal Geographical Society of Paris has likewise adjudged him its Gold Medal of this year.


It's the last frontier. And these are the last of the true Arctic aviators. Young pilots with a taste for adventure have come here to earn their wings, flying vintage steel built for war. But it's a different war now: a war against bitter cold and constant breakdowns, a war to get the job done, a war to stay alive flying in the toughest conditions on the planet. The job: to haul people and vital fuel and supplies to far flung outposts in the Canadian North. Piloting sturdy old warbirds built for punishment, they're learning with every hard knock, pulling together even as they compete to rise up the ranks.

On our first full day in Dar Es Salaam we woke up to the gorgeous view of the bay right outside our windows. We ate a quick but filling breakfast and headed out to explore the city. The previous night we were able to see some of Dar Es Salaam, but seeing it on a busy Saturday afternoon was completely different. We stopped for lunch at a food court type place and enjoyed Chinese, Indian and American food. After lunch Edward took us on a walking tour of the city and we were able to literally come face to face with some local people. For me, the walking tour was the best part of the trip so far. I was able to look at each person and see a piece of myself or someone I know from home in many faces. Instead of seeing Tanzanians as on big group, I started to see individual people. As we continued the walk, we encountered street vendors, a fish market and we learned that pictures cannot be taken of the President's house. We made it back to the restaurant just in time to miss the rain an hour or two of bonding time before we left in cabs. None of us were ready for those taxis. Everyone quickly learned that road rules are merely suggestions, and it is always best to buckle up.
After dinner that night, Edward welcomed us again and explained that from this point until the end of the trip we are one. He told us there is no separation and each action should be made as one. He also told us we will eat as one, which we did by sampling different dishes on the table. After dinner, many of us stayed up to go to the supermarket and talk about the trip so far.

About Pennsylvania Values
Pennsylvanians united in ensuring dignity, equality, and freedom for all
Here in Pennsylvania, we believe that everyone deserves the same opportunities to work, live, and thrive in their community. When LGBT Pennsylvanians are protected from discrimination and treated just like everyone else, the entire commonwealth wins.
This effort is coordinating community-based organizing to urge the General Assembly to enact comprehensive LGBT-inclusive nondiscrimination protections. This legislation will update the Pennsylvania Human Relations Act of 1955 to add sexual orientation and gender identity or expression, to be included along with the 11 existing protected classes.
There are more than half a million LGBT Pennsylvanians who each deserve to be treated with dignity and respect in their lives. The Pennsylvania Values campaign brings together Pennsylvanians of diverse backgrounds and political perspectives to advocate for a statewide nondiscrimination law that protects LGBT people. The Pennsylvania Values campaign has been created by the Pennsylvania Youth Congress.
This effort is bringing partners together throughout the commonwealth to ensure comprehensive LGBT-inclusive nondiscrimination protections become law. Nonprofit and advocacy organizations that work on the front lines of making Pennsylvania a better place to live and work are proud to join our campaign to ensure basic protections for our LGBT neighbors, family and friends.

Worker sues for $1.4m after gas well injury
by Peter Hardwick
29th Apr 2019 5:00 AM
NIC Barr had a good life, his dream job from which he earned good money, a wife and two children - then one step backward changed it all.
A diesel fitter by trade, Mr Barr was working as a field service technician on gas fields near Kogan west of Dalby in August 2015 when he suffered what he thought to be a minor injury but what turned out to be a broken back that was to change his life considerably.
He has not been able to work since and still suffers from permanent nerve damage despite spinal fusion surgery and has been on Centrelink benefits since his Work Cover ended.
He estimates he has lost more than $400,000 in wages on top of medical bills and had to sell his house and move to Brisbane to be closer to medical treatment.
He blames a simple 30cm step down from a gas well head.
He had been checking well heads in a field on which 1m high grass had been slashed but left on the ground.
Mr Barr stepped down onto the grass under which was a rock on which his heel landed, rolling his ankle.
"I thought I'd broken my ankle but then thought it was just badly sprained," Mr Barr said.
He returned to the fields but noticed he was getting back pain and spasms when driving over rough roads and paddocks.
His condition worsened until a couple of months later a doctor had "precautionary" X-rays done.
"He told me I had a broken vertebrae," Mr Barr said.
Earlier this month, Shine Lawyers on behalf of Mr Barr filed a statement of claim with the Supreme Court of Queensland seeking $1.4 million damages for alleged negligence by his then employers.
"I honestly love the job but I don't think I'll be able to go back to it so I'm hoping to retrain in another field," Mr Barr said.
"In the end I've got nothing to lose (by seeking damages), I've lost everything already and it's put a strain on my relationship with my wife.
"If nothing else, I'd like to get something for her."
Shine Lawyers solicitor Joel Blane said Mr Barr was entitled to the compensation after suffering from a serious injury through no fault of his own.
"Our client's claim alleges that both his employer and the entity responsible for the gas well had an obligation to provide a safe place of work and by failing to remove the slashed grass and rocks from the work area, they have failed to do that," he said.
"It is claimed that both defendants are liable for the significant injuries that have been caused and which have prevented Nic from returning to work in the coal seam gas industry.
"This preventable incident goes to show how a mistake in the workplace can have a major impact on someone's livelihood, and employers must ensure the safety of their workers is paramount."

The last stage of the Karnataka election witnesses war of words between the ruling Congress and BJP. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is very well equipped to the tune of the state of the art reputation and persona, not only at the National level but also at the International level by way of proving his superb capabilities. Therefore, it is suggested that he should keep away from uttering various types counter jibes at opposition political parties in the States Assembly Elections. He must be mainly concentrated to convey people about the significant achievements and contributions made by government under BJP-NDA at Centre and States levels. The main factor that favours BJP is that there were no ministerial corruption by NDA government all these years, which is a major plus point as Congress government was not able to corner corruption. To add salt to the wound of Congress, the state was reeling under the lack of sanitation facility, accumulation of garbage at every nook and corner and the shortage of drinking water to the public. If Mr. Modi can stop the regional parties which are based on cast or language, it will be good for the country and democracy and the two party systems will see light at the end of tunnel. As Modi pointed out that the interest of the country is more important. Anyway, the stage is all set for a change in Karnataka.


I have posted about the Community Reinvestment Act before, but here is some more information on this incredibly short sighted and destructive law that played a huge role in the 2008 financial meltdown.
CUOMO: To take a greater risk on these mortgages, yes. To give families mortgages that they would not have given otherwise, yes.
Q: [unintellible] … that they would not have given the loans at all?
CUOMO: They would not have qualified but for this affirmative action on the part of the bank, yes.
Q: Are minorities represented in that low and moderate income group?
CUOMO: It is by income, and is it also by minorities? Yes.

So-called "community groups" like ACORN benefit themselves from the CRA through a process that sounds like legalized extortion. The CRA is enforced by four federal government bureaucracies: the Fed, the Comptroller of the Currency, the Office of Thrift Supervision, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The law is set up so that any bank merger, branch expansion, or new branch creation can be postponed or prohibited by any of these four bureaucracies if a CRA "protest" is issued by a "community group." This can cost banks great sums of money, and the "community groups" understand this perfectly well. It is their leverage. They use this leverage to get the banks to give them millions of dollars as well as promising to make a certain amount of bad loans in their communities.
A man named Bruce Marks became quite notorious during the last decade for pressuring banks to earmark literally billions of dollars to his organization, the "Neighborhood Assistance Corporation of America." He once boasted to the New York Times that he had "won" loan commitments totaling $3.8 billion from Bank of America, First Union Corporation, and the Fleet Financial Group. And that is just one "community group" operating in one city – Boston.
Banks have been placed in a Catch 22 situation by the CRA: If they comply, they know they will have to suffer from more loan defaults. If they don't comply, they face financial penalties and, worse yet, their business plans for mergers, branch expansions, etc. can be blocked by CRA protesters, which can cost a large corporation like Bank of America billions of dollars. Like most businesses, they have largely buckled under and have surrendered to their bureaucratic masters.

That is wicked cool!! My boys would have a BLAST with that.
That looks like a lot of fun. Good for blood relations to spend time together, so it means something. I always felt badly that my kids grew up here and their cousins are all on the West Coast.
I love boys! I raised 4 plus their friends. They rock! Yours are precious!
You think they eat a lot now . . . just wait! I love your pirate ship.
That is such a creative use of boxes! I LOVE your Pirate Ship!!!
What a fantastic pirate ship. It gives me all sorts of ideas. I am a Pippin leader, they are 5-6 year old girls. They would love to build a ship.
Funny pictures , yes, I like to see those guys having a good time , nice shots !
Looks like they had a lot of fun! Enjoy your Wednesday!
That is a super cool pirate box!
That is a good deal for Arby's. Kids always remember those kinds of outings.
How inventive, and they really look the part too!
I guess growing boys sure can eat. That Pirate Ship looks like the kids had a lot of fun in it.
We never do kids meals either. I'll get a large fry and split it, plus cheeseburgers and waters Much more economical. That pirate ship is awesome!


Josef Klimes, Head of Facilities & Procurement, cuts the ribbon to open the office extension.
The fourth extension of the Prague office was officially opened late last year, an occasion marked with a ribbon cutting and prosecco.
Oliver Donoghue, Managing Director, addressed those in the office and noted that only a few short years ago there were only two people in the Prague office and about 70 NonStoppers in total. Now we have almost 300 NonStoppers, yet "this is just a small step to where we will be in the future", he said, referencing the plan to open further international offices next year.
The new office space gives an extra 450 square meters, a new, dedicated training area with lecture hall-style seats and an interactive projector, 'relax zones', an area soon to be filled with standing desks and a view across Prague to the castle.
It also includes a new server room, a new large meeting room and two smaller one-on-one meeting rooms, a new kitchen, new bathrooms and another entrance.


and play all the yes-men, the Pierrot's of pantomime.
an atom bomb, all glitter and style and far-out sounds.
roaming through wilderness, your evocation from station to station.
far removed from your early mimes and novelty gnome.
who we really are, our beautiful complexity – our iconic saviour.
so fall silent and contented like Ziggy, Aladdin and the Duke.
Journey back to stars of sweet solace where your next mission awaits.
you were the work of art to challenge thought and expectation.
Soar high into that crystal blue sky, bold bluebird.

Holy Child School at Rosemont: Teaching the Whole Child
"No one is trying to change the uniqueness of a child. We allow them to develop to their best."
Holy Child School at Rosemont was established in 1949 upon the understanding that happy children learn better. Far ahead of her time, progressive educator and founder Cornelia Connelly drew upon her experiences as a mother, then as a nun and teacher, recognizing that "effective teaching can best occur in a home-like atmosphere of love, beauty, and respect for the needs of the whole child."
Today, Cornelia Connelly's vision holds fast at Holy Child, where academic excellence combines with reverence and respect for every child, and for childhood itself. Holy Child's student body is intentionally comprised of preschool through middle school grades only, allowing children to "stay younger longer." Without the direct influence of high school in their academic community, Holy Child students are freed from the pressure to accelerate growth and maturity before their natural development.
With the goal of nurturing each child individually, and school community as a whole, interactive activities including all grades are found throughout the curriculum. Even during recess, all students participate at once and play together, fostering a sibling sensibility between older and younger students and resulting in an uncommonly close community and family environment. Older students develop leadership skills as role models for their younger peers, while younger students gain confidence through interacting with upper grades.
Cornelia Connelly's belief in the practice of self-expression is built into the class structure at Holy Child. Differences are embraced, celebrated, and encouraged, allowing students to be confidently themselves. Small class size allows students to be well-known by peers and teachers.
"You are allowed to develop into who you are here," states Judy Cassidy, Holy Child teacher for more than 40 years and Class of '59 alumna. "No one is trying to change the uniqueness of a child. We allow them to develop to their best."
Holy Child's rigorous academic program includes the study of world languages, music, the arts, educational field trips, and mastery of up-to-date technology, with a new STEAM lab in the Lower School and MAD (Media, Arts, Design) Lab in the Middle School. When it comes to technology, students are taught appropriate usage, though the focus is on strong communication skills and being "responsible digital citizens."
Community service comprises another key element in Holy Child's programming. From age three, every class participates in community service projects, and each middle school grade has its own class-elected charity. With over 40 service events throughout the year, serving others within a larger worldview is woven into the fabric of day-to-day life.
Athletics and the arts are not left out of Holy Child's well-rounded curriculum, and no student with a wish to participate is left out of athletics or the arts. With a "no-cut" policy, any child who auditions for a role or tries out for a team will be placed. Students are encouraged to go out of their comfort zones and try something new, and even to fail. Holy Child students have voiced to teachers and coaches that they feel supported in failure, observing that it is a necessary, valuable step for growth.
Holy Child graduates bring the founder's mission with them as they confidently take their places as caring, thriving members of the world community.
"Holy Child provides a loving, nurturing environment," said Maria Schreder, mother of three graduated sons and a daughter in fifth grade. "Holy Child develops students who are empathetic, confident individuals prepared to succeed in high school, college and beyond."

He is also one of the rare actors in Bollywood who became a single father. Today we are going to talk about the best roles and films that Tusshar has gifted us. The actor discovered his comic timing with Rohit Shetty's film, chaos. "It was a turning point in my career.

Yeh Dil (2003)
Chances are good that you haven't seen this movie. She acted in this romantic drama, alongside Anita Hasanandani. The film is on and some scenes will prick your heart. For instance, Tusshar goes to lengths to call his girlfriend, while she is locked up by her family.

Suddenly the dreadnought bows of their foiling, carbon-fibre catamaran drop down and spear into the Bermudian waters in twin plumes of blue and white spray. From 40 knots to zero in a second, and your rival's unexpected moment of crash-and-burn has earned your muscles the briefest of reprieves. In such moments will the 35th America's Cup be decided this summer on the azure blue waters of Bermuda, the small tropical island situated more than 600 miles off the USA's Atlantic coastline. 'The America's Cup' is the most prized trophy in the sailing world, one that has attracted Sir Ben Ainslie to pit his wits and his team at Land Rover BAR against five other strong international crews this May and June. Sailing has mostly been a thinking man's sport, where mental agility trumps physical fitness. But the modern America's Cup places a huge emphasis on physical fitness like never before. Over the 166-year history of the Cup, there's always been a need for immensely strong sailors to turn the winches to pull in the enormous sails and manoeuvre the boat more quickly and efficiently than their rivals. But up to 2007, the event used to take place in heavy keelboats on long courses where races could last more than an hour and there might be more than a five-minute break between each manoeuvre. Strength was useful, cardiovascular fitness less so. In the past five years, however, this has changed profoundly. The keelboats have given way to light-weight carbon-fibre catamarans that hydrofoil above the surface, racing around much smaller, tighter courses. These 'foiling' America's Cup Class multihulls don't fly themselves though. They're inherently unstable beasts and, left to their own devices, would career out of control in a matter of seconds. Above the water is the 24m-tall wing mast that captures the wind and provides the power. Below the surface are some precision-built slick hydrofoils, sometimes referred to as 'dagger foils'. Both the control of the wing and the hydrofoils require hydraulic power, and the only engine to power up the hydraulic systems is what the four 'grinders' can provide through sheer muscle power and cardiovascular fitness. The key to winning races in Bermuda this summer will be for the crew to achieve continuous stable 'flight' from the start to the finish some 15 to 20 minutes later. Keeping these 50ft catamarans flying in a straight line is hard enough, and then you've got the manoeuvres, the tacks (a 90-degree turn heading into the wind) and the gybes (a 90-degree turn with the wind behind you), when there are simply too many tasks for the six-man crew to manage everything effectively. But the more power the athletes can pump into the hydraulic system, the more control they will ultimately have over the success of these manoeuvres. More control = more speed. If the rules didn't forbid it, these America's Cup Class catamarans would be equipped with state-ofthe-art, fly-by-wire electronics of the kind seen in a modern military jet like the Eurofighter. Stable flight would then become a digital doddle. But without the electronic aids, it's down to the mental and physical skills of the six sailors (one helmsman, one wing-sail trimmer and four grinders) to get the boat around the course as best they can. So the limiting factor in the system really is the physical output that the sailors can push through the handles. On the waters of today's America's Cup, being in shape makes all the difference between glory or potential defeat. The person tasked with making that weakest link as strong as possible is Ben Williams, who comes to sailing from a military background and a passion for ultra-endurance sports such as competing in the Marathon des Sables across the Sahara Desert. Williams has built the bespoke Land Rover BAR training programme from the ground up, and it's no walk in the park. "When I looked at the old-style racing in keelboats, there was a 1:6 work-to-rest ratio, whereas now it's more like 6:1. It's full-on pretty much from the start of the race to the finish," he says. Thanks to his programme, week by week the Land Rover BAR team is getting better and better at 39

By the homeless OR homelessess
I heard it was possible to make a noun from an adjective like:
They are poor and live there. All the poors live there.
We mean "poor people" by the adjective "poor" + "s", like the plural form of the adjective.
But can I say just "poor" meaning then only one poor person? Or I can but only with "the" like:
The poor is there.
But wouldn't it be taken for "poverty" or "poorness"?
But What to do if the adjective is "homeless"?
They are homeless and live there. All the "homelesses" live there. This way?
And just "the homeless" would mean a single homeless person?
I hope you see what I mean
adjectives nouns
Michael AzarenkoMichael Azarenko
If you turn an adjective into a noun just my using it as a noun, referring to the whole class of individuals to whom the adjective could be applied, like
"Give me your tired, your poor..."
Then you create a mass (uncountable) noun.
If you use it to create a singular noun that refers to an individual, like calling someone of African extraction "a black" or someone homosexual "a gay", then it's countable - and usually offensive. If you then pluralise it, you are talking about those individuals as a collection of individuals, rather than as a 'mass'. And it usually gets even more offensive.
SamBCSamBC
So, if I say, I saw a poor person, I can say: "I saw a poor". It will be correct but offensive, right? Because if I can say "I saw a black", then I shoud be able to say"I saw a poor". – Michael Azarenko Feb 14 '19 at 8:09
Not correct so much as readily understandable. Offensive, though. – SamBC Feb 14 '19 at 10:39
But what the difference between 'black" and "poor" if "a black" is okay but "a poor" isn't? – Michael Azarenko Feb 14 '19 at 10:41
Simply the degree to which the term is attested. – SamBC Feb 14 '19 at 10:44
No, if you say that "I saw a black" is correct grammatically, but "I saw a poor" isn't correct. Then what is the word difference here? – Michael Azarenko Feb 14 '19 at 11:10
That is a slang construction that exists in English, but to call a single person "a poor" or a group of people "the poors" is really derogatory. It's similarly offensive to calling someone "an illegal" or "a gay" or calling a group of people "the illegals" or "the gays." Identifying a person by an adjective alone, without a noun that identifies personhood, is almost always an impolite construction.
Using a singular adjective to refer to a single person, or a plural adjective to refer to a group of people is typically offensive.
On the other hand, using a singular adjective to refer to a group of people who fit a certain category--"the poor," "the wealthy," "the homeless"--is not offensive. Consider the famous motto of Robin Hood ("Steal from the rich and give to the poor").
There isn't such a word as "homelesses" because the phrase "the homeless" already refers to the entire population of people who are homeless. One homeless person would be referred to as a "homeless man" or "homeless woman."
"to call a single person "a poor" or a group of people "the poors" is really derogatory." It's not even that. It's bad English. – Michael Harvey Feb 13 '19 at 21:59
There are exceptions, though. In the movie The Untouchables, "untouchable" was a complement. – Acccumulation Feb 13 '19 at 21:59
@Acccumulation That's why I said "almost always" and not "always." I will note that there is another meaning of "untouchables" which is a derogatory term used for a particular caste in India. – Katy Feb 13 '19 at 22:01
Here's a google ngrams of the derogatory terms I mentioned in the answer for those who are interested. books.google.com/ngrams/… – Katy Feb 13 '19 at 22:16
@MichaelAzarenko No. You should only use the singular adjective "the poor" to refer to a category of people. If you intend to speak about a singular poor person, you should say "I saw a poor person." If you heard someone refer to someone else as "a poor" or "a black" or a group as "the poors" or "the blacks" you should understand that it's not only impolite but actively and aggressively offensive. As an English language learner, you might be forgiven for unintentional offense. If a native speaker said either, I would be unlikely to continue a conversation with them. – Katy Feb 14 '19 at 10:44
You've gotten the wrong idea. Usually when we refer to a group by an adjective that describes them, the word is not made plural.
"Give me your tired, your poor,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
It's not "give me your tireds, your poors...the homelsses..."
There are examples that don't fit the usual pattern, such as the blacks, the gays, the hispanics. I don't have an explanation for why these words exist, but fortunately, you can more or less forget about their existence, since many, if not most English speakers today find these labels offensive.
JuhaszJuhasz
I think "the poors" is one of those exceptions today... – user45266 Feb 14 '19 at 1:20
So, I cna't say "the poors", the only correct way is to say "the poor"? But can I say "a poor"? And if I can say "the blacks", can I say "the black" or "a black" and what would they then mean? – Michael Azarenko Feb 14 '19 at 8:23
If you follow the normal pattern, you must say "the poor" (not the poors) to refer to the entire collection of poor people, and "a poor person" (not a poor) to refer to one person who is poor. Can you say "a black"? You can in the sense that you can produce the sounds and the sounds will likely be interpreted as a person whose skin is quite dark. And if you don't speak fluent English your listener may even forgive you for using a non-standard construction (you should say "a black person"). If you sound fluent and you say "a black," your listener will understand that you're racist. – Juhasz Feb 14 '19 at 16:02
1) What do you mean by "normal pattern"? It's due to the grammar itself or only some moral way of looking at "the poors" by other people. I mean is it correct for grammar or it's wrong the same way like "He are working"? 2) We can mean "the poor" instead of "the poor people" or "poor people"? 3) The plural noun can be meant by the absence of itself like "the poor(it's meant "people")" but the singular MUST ALWAYS contain the noun,right? Only "a poor person"? No "a poor" or just "poor". Omitting of the noun can be only with the plural, correct? Then "a poor" should exist too like "a black" – Michael Azarenko Feb 15 '19 at 10:30
Certainly it is possible to make nouns from adjectives, but in this case "the poor" is already a noun. To paraphrase the common translation of a quote from Anatole France:
In its majestic equality, the law forbids the rich and the poor alike to sleep under bridges, beg in the streets and steal loaves of bread.
In this case "the poor" refers to the general class of people who are poor. "Poverty" on the other hand, refers to the condition of being poor, which is not the same thing.
In the same way, someone who is "homeless* belongs to the class of people referred to as "the homeless". "Homelessness" is the noun describing that condition. Similarly the final stanza in the United States national anthem:
o'er (over) the land of the free and the home of the brave.
Where "the free" and "the brave" represent the group of people characterized by freedom and bravery.
While "the poor" is a common descriptive noun, "the poors" would be considered slang, and sounds derogatory. This is circumstantial and based on context. Other created nouns might sound just fine:
Adopters of new technology can be divided into two groups of those who are optimistic and those who are skeptical -- or as I like to call them, the confidents and the hesitants.
In this case the adjectives describe the essential character of each group. You'd have to get the actual meaning of these terms from context.
Alright, so, we can take any adjective and say The American are in America The hairy are in the barber shop The brawny are in the gym. But can we do it with the paticiple like "burned" or "killed"? The burned are in the oven. The killed are at the cemetery? And all of them will be correct and normal while the same examples with "s" would be impolite but still correct? The Americans are in America The hairies are in the barber shop The brawnies are in the gym. But how to say then the impolite way with the paritciple? We can't say "burneds" or "killeds" – Michael Azarenko Feb 14 '19 at 8:19
@MichaelAzarenko Sure, the "hairies" and the "brawnies" are perfectly fun made-up nouns. But "the burned" is a common English phrase, (e.g. "The burned were taken to the intensive care unit at City Hospital"), while "the killed" is possible but inelegant, as there are other phrases that already work such as "the slain" or "the fallen", depending on context. – Andrew Feb 14 '19 at 8:34
But then the sentence "The Americans are in America" is rude because of the "s", isn't it? And all of it for the plural. Can I do the same with singular like "A brawny is there", "a killed is there"? – Michael Azarenko Feb 14 '19 at 10:33
@MichaelAzarenko The nuance varies with the word you use. Some words are fun. Some are derogatory. Some are clever. Some just sound stupid. Something like "the killed" sounds fine in the right context (e.g. "We cannot even count all of the killed and the maimed, for the government has erased their names so completely that it as if they never existed in the first place"), but "the killed are in the cemetery" just sounds clumsy, at least without any additional explanation. – Andrew Feb 14 '19 at 15:35
No, it doesn't matter if it sounds awkward. The main point is if it is correc due to the grammar. "I saw a brawny" - okay for grammar? Offensive or neutral? "I saw the brawny" - okay for grammar? Offensive or neutral? "I saw the brawnies" - okay for grammar? Offensive or neutral? "I saw brawnies" - okay for grammar? Offensive or neutral? – Michael Azarenko Feb 14 '19 at 15:46
A generic plural noun formed from an adjective describing people, e.g. poor, rich, homeless, dead, fast, slow, etc is identical to the adjective, thus to discuss poor people generically we would say 'the poor' (not 'the poors'). The poor have little money; the rich have much money; the dead cannot speak; the homeless need our help. "The homeless" used alone means "all homeless people, or homeless people in general". The homeless find it harder to get jobs.
The quick and the dead. Ha ha. – Lambie Feb 13 '19 at 22:14
When crossing a busy road? – Michael Harvey Feb 13 '19 at 22:43
So, "the poors" is incorrect? But in the previous comments it was said to be okay having said "the poors". The problem is in this "less"? If we say "stray", then it would work, wouldn't it? Like "the stray are there. In your opinion "the strays" can't exist, too, right? – Michael Azarenko Feb 14 '19 at 8:14
We would use 'the stray' to talk about stray people in general (generically), although it is not a common usage, and 'the strays' to talk about a particular group of stray people. – Michael Harvey Feb 14 '19 at 8:47
Aaaaaa, I got it=))) So, I can say "the poor" and it will mean poor people in general(like all of them). If I say "the poors" it will mean poor people but some definite people.(=the poor people) Soooo, you mean "the poors" = "the poor people" and "the poor" = "poor people"? – Michael Azarenko Feb 15 '19 at 11:32

Catholic Scholars Ask About Silence of Liberal Catholics re: LGBTQ Issues as They Praise Amoris Laetitia, While Vatican Official Attacks LGBTQ Community
About a month ago, I summed up my response to so-called liberal or progressive Catholics who praise the recent papal document on the family, Amoris Laetitia, despite its ugly trajectory of combined silence and condemnation as it speaks of LGBTQ human beings, as follows:
I realize I have some lingering questions about Amoris Laetitia, which have only become sharper as the major "liberal" Catholic journals in the U.S. now begin to log in with editorial statements (e.g., here and here) encouraging American Catholics to applaud and support this papal exhortation — even though it is almost entirely silent about the existence of their LGBTQ brothers and sisters. And even though what it does deign to say about this slice of the human community is demeaning and mean-spirited . . . .
I read Amoris Laetitia to be saying that the holiness of heterosexual people must be purchased at the price of people not made heterosexual by God, who are almost invisible in this document, and, to the extent that they are even mentioned at all, are attacked. And now we're being told by defenders of the document who represent the best of American Catholicism, its academic and journalistic elite, that, well, this is unfortunately a sad price that just has to be paid by queer Catholics for the liberation of heterosexual ones. This price just has to be paid once again by queer Catholics in order to permit straight ones to sort out questions about the family — which ipso facto and q.e.d. concern straight human beings.
LGBTQ Catholics must continue to take a slap upside the head, when it comes to questions about divorce and communion or about contraceptive use — questions that affect heterosexual couples. Queer Catholics must unfortunately continue to be the scapegoat, as the pastoral leaders of the Catholic church negotiate delicate questions about whether straight Catholics who don't play by all the rules are holy enough to take communion.
Because this is the tenor of my thinking about Amoris Laetitia as an openly gay, married Catholic who has been excluded from participation in the church and its academic institutions, I was very heartened to read Bob Shine's report yesterday at the Bondings 2.0 blog, about the response of two younger Catholic scholars to Amoris Laetitia — responses that, in some ways, echo the questions I have long been asking about how "liberal Catholics" treat LGBTQ people, as they praise statements by Catholic officials that clearly do not envisage love or mercy for these fellow human beings.
Bob Shine asks,
Have Catholics' analyses of Amoris Laetitia, the recently published exhortation on family by Pope Francis, been dismissive of LGBT communities' reaction and concerns?
And then he states,
Craig Ford, a theology doctoral student at Boston College, claimed on the blog Catholic Moral Theology that liberal Catholics who are not LGBT have too often jettisoned queer and transgender concerns to uphold a belief that Pope Francis is bringing progress to the Church.
Here's the heart of Craig Ford's statement in the Moral Theology piece linked above:
What's interesting to me is that when liberal commentators have engaged either the issue of homosexuality explicitly, or have engaged issues that have a theological relationship to why "homosexual acts" are deemed impermissible (for example, the issue of contraception, which is linked to magisterial teaching on homosexuality because same-sex sex acts, like sex acts involving contraception, are non-reproductive), their engagement has largely been congruent with this latter category, in which our disappointment with respect to development of doctrine on these issues should be tempered by our understanding of Francis' goals, or by an understanding of Francis' style, or by the overall context of Francis' papacy, which James Carroll, among others, has wisely pointed out is less perturbed by how doctrine is worded and more concerned with how it is deployed.
In the paragraph prior to this one, Ford explains what he means by the phrase "this latter category": liberal Catholics who want to praise Amoris Laetitia are arguing, he notes, that we have to make "prudential trade-offs that make no one happy" as we support Pope Francis in moving the church forward. If this papal exhortation beats LGBTQ folks up, then they should be willing once again to take one for the team, and accept being ignored, misrepresented, even attacked.
And here's what that proposal translates to for queer Catholics, Ford concludes:
But so far this has been a party only for heterosexuals, and what is disappointing is that liberal Catholic theologians—who proclaim our consciousness of marginalized peoples as such an asset in our theological writing—have not indicted the core of our Church's heterosexist theology of marriage in our commentaries on Amoris Laetitia. The Left has allowed, in other words, queer persons and their intimacies to sink farther back into a sort of theological eschaton in order to praise, however measuredly and momentarily, a heterosexist ideal that requires the displacement of queer lives in the first place.
Reinforcing these valuable points is the analysis of Annie Selak, a Ph.D. student in systematic theology at Boston College, who notes in a piece at the Political Theology blog that Amoris Laetitia purports to be experience-based as it offers its reflection on "the" family — but significant voices are missing from the set of experiences on which its analysis is based. In particular, the voices of those on the margins of church and society are more or less absent from this document — and, as Bob Shine notes, these observations surely have important application to discussions of the place of LGBTQ people in the church.
I'm very happy to hear people who may be taken more seriously than I ever have been as a Catholic theologian making this point. I've made this point over and over again, and seem not ever really to have been heard as I have made it — and so I'm happy to hear younger Catholic theologians like Craig Ford and Annie Selak carrying this conversation forward for a new generation of Catholics.
And, as if right on track to remind us of just why it's so imperative that liberal Catholic defenders of Pope Francis stop pretending that treating LGBTQ people as invisible or to be disdained presents no serious ethical dilemma for Catholics who defend human rights, there are the statements that Vatican official Cardinal Robert Sarah has just now made at the National Prayer Breakfast in D.C. Bob Shine reports on Sarah's remarks at Bondings 2.0 today. As he notes, Sarah informed his audience that transgender rights are demonic, and marriage equality is poison.
To which I reply: What a shocking way for a major world religion, which professes to preach love and practice justice, to choose to brand itself publicly at this critical juncture of human history. Something is, indeed, demonic and poisonous here, but it might require a mirror for Cardinal Sarah to see what it is.
Tagging fellow human beings who belong to a targeted minority group as "poison" and "demonic" is an act of tremendous cruelty and violence. It opens the door to abusive, violent treatment of those human beings, who are already susceptible to abuse and violence.
Invoking God's name as you engage in this project of cruelty and violence is obscene.
And "liberal" Catholics who have such powerful influence in the Catholic academy and journalist sector today, who defend the pope who placed this cardinal at the head of the Vatican Congregation for Divine Worship while they remain totally silent about such toxic homophobia emanating from the top of their church, are part of the problem and complicit in the violence, when they keep their mouths shut about all of this.

Spanish deaths outpace births at fastest rate since records began in 1941
June 20, 2018 Spanish News 2475 Views
The total number of deaths in Spain in 2017 outpaced the number of births at the fastest pace since records began in 1941, official census data showed on Wednesday, the latest data to fuel the debate on a deep reform of the pension system.
A promise by Spain's new government to raise pensions in line with inflation after years of restrictions during an economic downturn has cast doubt on the government's ability to keep its budget deficit under control.
Spain has one of the lowest birth rates in Europe while having one of the highest life expectancies, raising concerns on how the ageing population can support current social security pay-outs.
In 2017, the population registered a net loss of 31,245 people from a year earlier as the number of births dropped 4.5 percent while the number of deaths rose 3.2 percent, the National Statistics Institute said.
However, the figures did not include population changes due to immigration, with the number of people migrating to Spain expected to have increased since the economic recovery began in 2013.

Q: UIButton in UITableView, selector applied on several buttons I'm currently working in a UITableView, each cell containing a button with a specific UIImage in background. I'd like to change this image when the button is clicked in a cell.
I have this code, working perfectly but when I click on a button, several buttons are modified - every 5 buttons, don't know why. Here's the code:
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    [myCell.favorite addTarget:self action:@selector(pressed_fav:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];

    return myCell;
}

- (void)pressed_fav:(id)sender
{
    UIButton *myButton = sender;

    [myButton setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"star.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
}

myCell is an instance of a customized cell, containing an IBOutlet 'favorite' pointing to the UIButton.

A: Its because UITableView re-uses cell.
You must have some logic in cellForRowAtIndexPath method to identify the image of a button.

A: Thank you so much guy !
Actually, when I delete the line:
myCell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:@"cinemaCell"];

It does not display the cell (it's well allocated and initialised instead).

1986 black Gibson Invader 6 string solid body electric guitar | Electric Guitar upgrades, builds, repairs. Lefty, hollow body!!!!
This is an original 1986 black Gibson Invader. From the Kahler vibrato bridge and arm, ORIGINAL Dirty Finger pickups, and Grover tuners, this is an all original blast from the past.
Invaders were only made from 1983 to 1989.
This guitar has been played, and played a lot. All attempts to show her war wounds are in the photos. If you want a sparkly new paint job, look at some of my other guitars.
Neck is awesome, pups are rock steady, Kahler bridge floats well, and the Grovers are still firm.
I got this from the family of the original owner that bought it new in 1986.
Whether it's a piece of Gibson history you're after, or just a helluva great guitar, give me a shout.

I have attached a Maxtor 80Gb drive to a PC. When I boot up, the BIOS recognizes it and when XP loads, I can see the drive when I click on My Computer. When I click on the drive, however, I get a message that says "incorrect parameter" and I am not able to go further. This is not the boot drive, rather, it is an extra data drive.
What does this message indicate? Is there a way around it?
right-click My Computer, pick Manage.
Pick Disk Management, then find your maxtor. right-click on the drive description, pick Write Signature. then follow the prompts to create a partition and format it. you can safely take all the defaults probably.
How old is the motherboard? Does it recognize the drive as an 80gB? If not, then disable (NONE) the drive in the BIOS and let XP identify it. If you cannot disable it (or that doesn't work) set the BIOS to a minimum capacity drive.
At any rate, you don't want to use Maxtors drive overlay program since XP has one built in. You can use fdisk /MBR to remove the overlay or run Maxtor's Ontrack to remove it.
Perhaps it's a security issue? If you attempt to switch the mouse focus to the drive do you get the error? Is it only when you try to double-click on it to explore it?
If the drive is listed, make sure it's proper, whether you have to import it, re-activate it, etc...it will depend.
If you can do that, perhaps that will fix the problem.
On the other hand, perhaps all you need to do is right click the drive, click on the security tab, then replace the owner of the drive and set it to reset all sub-folders.


Fried turkey, cornbread dressing, sweet potato casserole and pumpkin cake: You'll want to make every recipe on Nealey Dozier's Southern Thanksgiving menu.
This savory-sweet appetizer is a decadent way to start your feast. A creamy wheel of Brie is baked to perfection and then smothered with a spicy pecan praline sauce. Be generous with the coarsely ground black pepper, as it really sends the dish over the edge!
Punch is making a comeback, and Thanksgiving is the perfect time to give it a try: No need to individually mix cocktails when you've got a feast to get on the table! Nealey's version uses pure cranberry juice to add a tart fall flavor, while the frozen cranberries do double duty to keep the drink cold and make it look pretty.
In addition to freeing up your oven and shortening your turkey cook time, frying your bird creates a ridiculously crisp exterior while allowing all of the juices to remain inside the turkey. This guarantees that every single bite is moist and tender. So why would you ever want to roast a turkey?
This classic gravy gets just a bit of kick from the bourbon, and the fresh sage perfectly complements the turkey and cornbread dressing.
The secret to this rich Southern side dish is the butter. But is that really a secret? This version yields an amazingly moist dressing just begging to be drenched in bourbon gravy.
A rich, nicely spiced sweet potato filling is topped with a crunchy brown sugar streusel for an irresistible side dish that makes it on Nealey's family's table every year.
Braised greens are about as Southern as it gets. Feel free to use any mix of greens you can get your hands on. Bonus points if you use the leftover sweet potato greens from the sweet potato casserole. That's what Southern cooking is all about!
This beautiful dish is simple yet delicious enough to counterbalance some of the more flashy sides often found at the Thanksgiving table. Roasted carrots are tossed with a light honey and vinegar glaze to add some depth, but the subtly sweet flavor of the root vegetables still really shines through.
This showstopping holiday pie starts with a buttery graham cracker crust glazed with rich chocolate, which is then topped with a thick, boozy layer of spiced rum custard. Once the layers are set, the pie is piled high with freshly whipped cream and a mountain of dark chocolate shavings.
This rich layer cake from Nealey is based on a recipe from her aunt Cissy. It's very moist, which can make it tricky to frost. The end result is less high-end bakery, more Southern charm.

Munchie Legaux's comments end up on Louisville's wall
Earlier this week, Cincinnati quarterback Munchie Legaux was asked about the similarities between himself and Louisville quarterback Teddy Bridgewater and Legaux had a very simple answer: "I'm better."
The debate — if this is even a debate — will be settled when the two players meet on Friday night, but in the meantime, Louisville coach Charlie Strong is using Legaux's words as bulletin board material.
In the locker room, under the word "Cincinnati," Strong has compiled several stats to get his team fired up and then Legaux's words, which include compliments to Bridgewater before he throws down the hammer.
"He's a pretty good player," Legaux said. "He makes a lot of plays for those guys. His passing efficiency is really high. He takes care of the football. He's a team leader, so he's a pretty good quarterback."
But this part of the article was highlighted in bright yellow:
Asked if he thought he and Bridgewater were similar quarterbacks, Legaux said: "I'm better. We'll see Friday night."
Now, quarterbacks have to have a certain amount of swagger and confidence, but this isn't the time to show it. He should have complimented Bridgewater and left it alone because a quick look at the stats shows a different story.
Bridgewater ranks third in the Big East in passing. Legaux? Seventh. Bridgewater also tops Legaux in passing efficiency. If Legaux had said he was a better athlete than Bridewater, then maybe he would have had a case. Legaux does have the edge in points responsible for and total offense.
All of this makes for great storylines and banter, but, as Legaux said, we'll see who the better quarterback is on Friday night.
Got a tip for Dr. Saturday? Email us at dr.saturday@ymail.com. You can also connect with us via Twitter @YahooDrSaturday and be sure to "Like" Dr. Saturday on Facebook for football conversations and stuff you won't see on the blog.


Here's another short Pencil Test from HANDYCAT by G. Brian Reynolds. This one is of Drillbit jumping out of the truck window. Fellow creator Jeff DeGrandis commented that the drawings retain energy in the rough stage. He's right. There is a special kind of "life" in these drawings that is unique unto themselves. It's kind of hard to explain. I always enjoy looking at pencil tests and, of course, the finished animation too. Sometimes they feel the same, sometimes they don't, but the comparison is always interesting.
The O.S. screaming is once again provided by Rob Paulsen. Great lungs, Rob!
awesome animation! The timing is great!
Thanks, Stephen. Do you notice when looking at pencil tests that movement almost always seems a wee bit slower and a little more flowing than when it's been cleaned up and filled with color? It's one of those things over the years thata person learns - to compensate for this and try to visualize the end result when looking at the tests.

Q: Save an object after Delete in Core Data with Restkit make it crash I'm trying to use RestKit and Core Data as a local cache of server side datas, but i can't manage to do it
I created a NSManagedObject :
@interface JSONShop : NSManagedObject

@property (nonatomic, retain) NSNumber * shopId;
@property (nonatomic, retain) NSNumber * type;

@end
@implementation JSONShop

@synthesize shopId;
@synthesize type ;

@end

It is automatically mapped and stored by Restkit, and I can fetch it from the database to display it in an TableViewController.
I have a primary key on my table (defined in my mapping), for example :
shopMap.primaryKeyAttribute = @"shopId" ;

When I store my objects for the first time, everything is all right :)
After, when I delete all entities in the context , when Restkit try to map it again and save it again but I obtain this error :
'CoreData could not fulfill a fault for '0x9412ea0 <x-coredata://F8451322-3890-430F-8ABD-B5EEF1DFED2F/JSONShop/p177>''

Do you know why ?
Here is my delete code :
- (void) deleteAllObjects: (NSString *) entityDescription  {

    NSLog(@"Deleting %@",entityDescription);

    NSManagedObjectContext * managedObjectContext = [[RKObjectManager sharedManager].objectStore managedObjectContext] ;
    NSFetchRequest *fetchRequest = [[NSFetchRequest alloc] init];
    NSEntityDescription *entity = [NSEntityDescription entityForName:entityDescription inManagedObjectContext:managedObjectContext];
    NSError * error ;
    [fetchRequest setEntity:entity];

    NSArray *items = [managedObjectContext executeFetchRequest:fetchRequest error:&error];

    for (NSManagedObject *managedObject in items) {
        [managedObjectContext deleteObject:managedObject];
    }
    if (![managedObjectContext save:&error]) {
        NSLog(@"Error deleting %@ - error:%@",entityDescription,error);
    }

}

A: So you are using Restkit to obtain your data, and using RestKit to store the data within a CoreData Moc.
I don't see where you are actually saving the changes to disk.
Why not use RestKit to get the objects then delete them? i.e.
- (IBAction)deleteAllButtonClicked:(id)sender {

    NSArray* objects = [JSONShop findAll];
    for (JSONShop *object in objects) {
        [[JSONShop managedObjectContext] deleteObject:object];
    }
    NSError* error = nil;
    [[JSONShop managedObjectContext] save:&error];
    if (nil != error) {
        // Error checking here...
    }
}

This example project does similar: lottadot-restkit-ios-rails3-1-advanced

A: Before RestKit 0.10, the RKManagedObjectStore was keeping a cached copy of every used entity. But when the entity was deleted from CoreData, the object was kept in the cache. So later on when you want to re-save the same object, instead of creating it in CoreData, it fetched the (faulty) object from its cache.
I had the exact same issue, see CoreData validation error 1550
Two solutions:

*

*Either upgrade to RestKit 0.10 (issue is fixed as part of a bigger rework of the store)

*Or patch your current RKManagedObjectStore to disable the in-memory caching
