National Multiculturalism Dialogue Needed: Prof
Charles Enman
Published: Friday, June 06, 2008
OTTAWA – Official multiculturalism is "the wrong approach" for Canada and it may cause problems here unless a national conversation clarifies issues raised by the policy, a leading University of Ottawa professor says.
Gilles Paquet, a senior research fellow at the university's Graduate School of Public and International Affairs, also is calling for a "moral contract" with immigrants to clarify the responsibilities of citizenship that apply to all Canadians, and he proposes a system of graduated citizenship that would reflect different degrees of commitment to the country.
"What it (multiculturalism) does is encourage people to stand apart, to be ghettoized. And for Canadians generally, it means we don't know what reasonable expectations we may have of newcomers, and newcomers don't know what expectations they may have of us," says Paquet.
He says the great achievement of the recent Bouchard-Taylor Commission in Quebec was its effect of opening such a conversation in the province.
"They broke open Pandora's box and it was a step forward . . . And what's clear is that accommodation won't be zero per cent or 100 per cent, but something that will be negotiated."
English Canada, he says, is nowhere near allowing such discussion.
"In English Canada, multiculturalism is a sacred cow, and if you even raise questions about it, you can very easily be labelled a bigot. Political correctness puts a chill on everything."
Paquet has just published a book, through the University of Ottawa Press, that wades gingerly into these issues.
Deep Cultural Diversity: A Governance Challenge discusses academic papers on diversity and offers analysis of how diversity might best be regulated.
In person, however, his words are far more direct and carry more punch.
"When we say to people, 'You can come here and you don't really have to adapt, you can remain just the person you were, even in this new setting' – well, we know it's a bit unreal and utopian, but what we don't know is that it's dangerous."
People who come to Canada under such understandings often, not always, fail to become authentically Canadian, he says.
"We get a citizenship of convenience. We get situations like we had in Lebanon two years ago, where people who hadn't paid Canadian taxes in 20 years were waving their passports and saying, 'You have to take care of me.' And we took them on a Canadian ship for free – the only country that did so."
Paquet says some immigrants bring practices from their home countries that are not acceptable in Canada, and yet Canadian authorities do very little.
He believes citizenship itself is a basket of moral contracts – one which, in today's Canada, is not clearly defined.
"When people living in foreign countries have Canadian passports but pay no taxes here and come back only to make use of our health-care system, this is absurd."
Canadians never really chose the multiculturalism that has been official policy for several decades, Paquet says.
The Trudeau government, he says, introduced the policy in 1971 in an effort to dilute the nationalism of French Canadians.
"The problem is, we never clarified that there had to be accommodation on both sides, that certain things were non-negotiable, that each side had to go half the distance. "That is the source of the malaise. People wonder where the accommodation will end."

Drop #5: B00
I Caught A Ghost
Ted Kendrick
Hey, Ted. Boo!
Ahh! You scared me!
AVLFilm.com hosted a 10 Second Film Contest throughout October, and Artificial Ink Creative created a winning short titled B:00! In the Halloween spirit of the season, I wrote a quick piece about a guy (played by Ethan Saut) who catches a ghost and throws it in the microwave. I operated the camera and edited the film with music and animation by my brother Joe Kendrick.
B:00 was a fun and casual endeavor, but really just an excuse to blow up a marshmallow Peep in my kitchen. Better than eating one, am I right? Despite that, the film was one of several award winners, personally selected by the Cat Fly Film Festival for a merch bag. The Grail Moviehouse is currently playing B:00 in the opening pre-show clips before their film screenings.

Almost a year ago now at the top of 2021, I helped AVLFilm launch a Discord server for the Asheville film community, and started a social media series of posts relaying #AVLFilmHistory where I highlight a film from Asheville's past with new posts every Wednesday and Saturday. Actually almost caught up to the modern day now! I'm told that the ten second contest sprouted from a germ of an idea of mine, but I don't remember either way to claim any credit.
A ten second film? So you mean a TikTok.
Shut up. It's different.
Any updates on your longer short films?
NO MEAN FEET secured its film festival premiere at Festival Angaelica, streaming online over the holidays from December 21st to 31st. Joe and I participated in a Q & A with festival programmer Breven Warren where we talked the making of the film, and brainstormed ways to support indie filmmakers in a space where creativity and commerce don't always intersect.

THE REPLICA RAID II was also invited to play at Flickfair, another virtual film festival occurring at Flickfair.com over the month of December. Watch THE REPLICA RAID II among about 100 other films with an online pass for the entire month. RR2 was completed in 2018, but played in the Geek Short Film Festival screening tour during 2020 where Flickfair programmers first saw the short, and reached out with a guaranteed invite for selection in their event.
Nice to see THE REPLICA RAID get some love.
Not only is the short still screening, but I also have a completed script for THE REPLICA RAID III trilogy finale which I co-wrote with Rome Widenhouse, and plan to put into production sooner than later. I've also written a six-page short comic titled THE REPLICA RAID: "Stealing in Sequence" that I intend to include in a comic book anthology collaboration with the Lumo Station LLC.
I know you've got another movie in the works.
Right! Principal photography for 4SIGHT was completed on Tuesday, November 8th where I directed the last two in-story commercials for Dr.ONE and H9DSIGHT, which both featured Brooks Wallace. I was joined once again by Rome Widenhouse on camera, Sirus Widenhouse on sound, and Cat Wityk as a line producer, who were the through-line crew on the rest of production, as well as Garin Wilson who piloted the drone, repeating his role from RR2.
I saw Brooks Wallace previously act in Asheville 48 Hour Film Projects from past competitions, so I was grateful to bring him on board for the 4SIGHT short, and collaborate with him for the first time. He brought an innate brand of goofiness to the character of Fred that elevated these scenes to the height of their humor. Brief breaks for jokes was important to me for a short so focused on the existential dangers of surveillance technology.
4SIGHT officially moves into post-production now that the commercials are completed. I recently supplied a shot deck of color examples and still grabs to Sam Zeilender, who is jumping into colorist duties now after working as the Director of Photography on the core scenes with Chloe (Alisha Hawthorne).
I recently secured extra voiceover work from Tracy Fuller who portrayed Chloe's mom. She and I met at the Tryon Equestrian Center to record her lines in a gift shop. Cat Wityk provided temp voiceover as the commercial narrator, but we ultimately landed a voiceover legend in Susan Eisenberg, the voice of Wonder Woman in numerous DC Comics animation and video games.
As one of my collaborators remarked, "We made Wonder Woman say 'look up your own ass'" and yeah, we kinda did, but that was never the point.
Of course not. That would be crass.
Well, 4SIGHT is a sci-fi comedy, with an emphasis on comedy, so don't blame me. I'm just the writer, director, and producer. Practically blameless.
Anything else going on?
I completed a major email marketing campaign for the Other Southern record label where I assisted in the promotion of the "GET RIGHT RIGHT NOW" music video by Manifest Sons before their full album debut of "Rich Idiot Condos." I contacted roughly 500 music blogs based all over the world, and shared a press release seeking coverage for the pop-punk outfit.
I've been playing my guitar often lately, usually jamming over electronic drum loops. I feel the ache to record again, and hope to make my own EP. It's been a personal dream of mine, and I know I've got the songs, but I keep thinking I've written newer better ones, so we'll see how the tracks shape up over the next few months. I promise to share a demo here as soon as it's ready.
No doubt there is more Watchtower stuff.
We always stay busy over on that YouTube channel where we talk about Batman in a new video just about every Sunday. Most recently, I delivered a spontaneous review on HBO Max's BATMAN: THE AUDIO ADVENTURES podcast which featured a voice cast full of SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE alum. I also wrote and hosted a video essay that researched the true origins of BATMAN BEYOND villains from various contemporary Bruce Wayne stories, which has acquired nearly 40,000 views at the time of this newsletter drop.
I've also continued to participate in coverage on BATMAN: THE ADVENTURES CONTINUE and JUSTICE LEAGUE INFINITY comic series, and recently sat down with JLI colorist Nick Filardi for an interview about his comics work over beers, since we happen to live in the same city. Be on the lookout for that conversation to hit the channel sometime before the year is over.
My potential poetry chapbook just underwent major edits, so I'm nearly at the design stage for that project. My goal is to release a run of self-published chapbooks next year with about 25 poems that I wrote during the pandemic.
I'm also working on two feature film proof-of-concept scripts, both only the first 10 pages for what could be two expansive stories. One is an original concept geared for a local production house, and the other is work-for-hire based on a flow arts toy-line. Both scripts nearly have first drafts finished.
You're a busy man, but can you recommend any media that holds your attention lately?
I'm as much a consumer as I am a creator. I recently purchased a Nintendo Switch, so aside from beating all my friends at "Mario Kart 8", I've been playing a lot of "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" which came out about four years ago, so I'm a little late to the game, but seriously, it's great, and sending me back into a nostalgic headspace when I played earlier entries like "The Wind Waker" and "Link's Awakening" throughout my childhood.
Here's my friend code, so add me on the Switch if you feel like it.
SW-5459-3176-6208
LAST NIGHT IN SOHO recently hit theaters, which I caught at the aforementioned Grail Moviehouse. I'm a big fan of Edgar Wright as the director behind SHAUN OF THE DEAD and HOT FUZZ, so I was excited to see how his style would translate into a thriller. I knew to expect a psychedelic drama set in the seedy pop-art fashion world of 1960s London, but it was much more of a ghost story. The film also included "face of the year" Anya Taylor-Joy, so it was a beautifully suspenseful experience all around.
NOCTERRA is a comic book series published by Image Comics, and written by Scott Snyder with art by Tony Daniel, who are two creators familiar to me from their work on BATMAN over the years. NOCTERRA showcases an apocalyptic future where a dark void encased the Earth. Some humans survive in sanctuaries of artificial light, but if caught in the darkness for more than a day, they start a transformation into shadow monsters. Val drives a truck with the Sundog Convoy, delivering supplies between outposts in hopes to save her dying brother. The comic dropped six issues and a special so far, and was already optioned for an upcoming live-action series on Netflix. I'm here for the rest of the book, but greatly look forward to the show.
NOCTERRA #1 by Snyder and Daniels
We may be looking at each other's Spotify Wrapped right now, but one song that played often in my car when traveling was "Gimme Some" by Weval. Something about the pulsing bass line kept the track in rotation, but then I heard it in an HBO Max commercial, and it became a little less special to me. "Gimme Some" didn't make my top songs of 2021. That honor somehow went to LCD Soundsystem's "oh baby" even though I really didn't play it that often.
And that's all, folks. Follow me on Instagram at @ted.kendrick and @artificial.ink.creative for more frequent updates in the meantime.
There may not be another newsletter before the end of the year, so let me take the chance to say a happy holidays to everyone. Here's to bigger and better things in 2022! The creative seeds of today will be sowed tomorrow.
As always, my resolution is to drink more water. You probably should too.
Maybe I will!
Well, good! Maybe you should!
Fine! Boo!
Now you know how it feels. Bye.

Netizen says Jamus Lim's "folksy wisdom" remarks detracts Manpower Minister, employers from addressing minimum wage issue
A netizen took to Facebook on Monday (19 October) to highlight that the latest "folksy wisdom" remark made by Workers' Party's (WP) Jamus Lim gave the Manpower Minister and employers the chance to avoid addressing the important issue of minimum wage in Singapore.
"Jo Teo and employers must be relieved with the brouhaha over Jamus Lim's 'folksy wisdom' remark about minimum wage, which the ST (The Straits Times) is helping to spin," said Foong Swee Fong.
The 56-year-old kite-surfing instructor added, "For one thing, it takes away the heat they have been getting recently about diminishing the 'Singapore core' of businesses with foreign workers".
During a debate in Parliament recently, Mr Lim, along with other members of WP, were part of a heated argument with PAP's MP for Tampines GRC Koh Poh Koon about minimum wage.
Criticising WP's proposal of setting up a universal minimum wage of $1,300 could lead to unemployment, Mr Koh argued that the tripartite partners already look at data in their discussions, but the practical considerations of implementing minimum wage may be challenging.
He also brought up Hokkien idioms used by a union member to illustrate this and the colloquial wisdom lying behind these phrases.
To this, Associate Professor Lim noted that WP's proposal is based on studies that show that a minimum wage does not lead to an increase in unemployment, and is not based on "folksy wisdom and beliefs of labour union leaders".
"With all due respect, as much as it will be lovely to always rely on folksy wisdom and beliefs by labour union leaders, at the same time, it's important to realise that when we talk about studies that show that the minimum wage does not lead to any appreciable increase in unemployment, this is based on careful consideration and not just beliefs."
However, the term of "folksy" that used by Assoc Prof Lim in Parliament appears to have triggered strong response from some of the union leaders as they felt that his remark "belittling the work of unionists".
Number of foreign workers must be reduced to increase wage of locals
In Mr Foong's post, he pointed out that the high number of foreign workers in the country is making it hard for Singaporeans to make a decent wage.
He explained that Singapore "open leg" immigration policy has contributed to the high volume of foreign workers here, and politicians are not willing to address this.
"For another, it detracts from the real issue of why wages are so low in the first place, which, they are not willing to address – that there are too many foreign workers which the "open leg" immigration policy has help contributed," he said.
The netizen went on to assert that employers prefer hiring foreigners more than Singaporeans as the foreigners are "more insecure and therefore pliant".
"For example, you can house them en masse in a dorm, seat them like cattle in a lorry in the wee-hours to transport them to the work site, make them sit by the roadside till the boss arrives to open the gate, make them work till dark and send them back to the dorm, with nary a whimper from any worker. Of course, they probably cost less too," Mr Foong explained.
Adding to that, Mr Foong noted that the real reason wages are so low is because the asking pay of a foreign labour is low given that the "supply of workers has far exceeded demand".
As such, this caused Singaporeans to suffer as they cannot earn a decent living, even if they work around the clock.
"Of course, employers will always complain that no Singaporeans would want to take up such jobs, blah blah blah, but that's because the wages are way too low for them, but not so for foreigners who do not face the same cost of living that Singaporeans do," the netizen stated.
Given this situation, Mr Foong said that the only way to solve this problem is to "drastically" bring down the number of work permits, even A-Pass and Employment Pass in the country. By doing so, wages of Singaporeans will increase, Mr Foong said.
"Instead, we are flooded with foreign workers on the one hand and yet trying to raise wages on the other? Isn't that like the proverbial dog chasing it's own tail?
"Please, do not detract from the real cause, face the issue squarely and then we won't have to tie ourselves in knots over whether the minimum wage should apply to foreign workers, about loop hopes like phantom workers and kickback of salaries or even having barking dogs attacking harmless semantics like 'folksy wisdom'," Mr Foong said.


Description: Living Rents moves rent away from any link to the housing market. Instead, rents are directly linked to local earnings. That's a big change compared to existing models, which have set rents in relation to market rents (Affordable Rents) or largely based them on property values (Social Rents).
The methodology is based on use of the Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings, which provides earnings figures for each local authority. The income used to anchor these rents is the net lower quartile earnings figure – at national level this is £253.60, equivalent to an average week's minimum wage earnings (£253). In Trafford the lower quartile earnings figure is £258.60.
Living Rents is an attempt both to balance levels of affordability and supply, and to create a bold but practical model that anchors rents in the reality of the changed labour market.
Improvement: An evidence-based method of linking rents directly to the labour market likely to be accessed by those on low incomes.
Trafford Housing Trust : A Living Rent Landlord?
There are now over 1,000 accredited Living Wage employers in the UK, including of course, Trafford Housing Trust and the Joseph Rowntree Foundation. This number has more than doubled in recent years, and it's great to see employers recognising that this can improve the lives of workers and enable them to demonstrate social responsibility.
However, important though it is, JRF recognises that a focus on increasing incomes can only go so far to realising our vision of a prosperous and poverty free UK. If we are to make our vision a reality, and THT are to achieve a 'society transformed, free from poverty, inequality and injustice', we also need to consider how we can reduce costs and make incomes go further.
Housing costs clearly have a large role to play in this. We know that 3.1 million more people find themselves in poverty after they cover their housing costs. These can be high – for example, those in the bottom fifth of the income distribution living in private rented accommodation spend 55% of their income on housing costs.
Traditionally, social housing has played a key role in limiting poverty. Indeed, JRF's research finds that 'Social housing is highly targeted on people with low incomes and has been shown to be the most 'pro-poor' and redistributive major aspect of the entire welfare state'. The issue is with social housing now is two-fold: there is not enough; and that which is available is largely being let at Affordable Rents linked to market rates.
The consequences of these two factors are stark. By 2040, JRF research finds that setting social rents closer to market levels will push an extra 1.3 million people into poverty, and poverty can only be contained at current levels if social renting continues to form the same proportion of the housing market as it did in 2008. If social housing is not available, we know that those on low incomes are likely to be housed in the private rented sector, where rents can represent over half of incomes.
So issues around social housing supply and rent levels are critical to addressing poverty. Yet, despite the sectors' history, JRF's Poverty Focussed Review of Landlord Strategies (forthcoming) finds that poverty is rarely mentioned when social landlords set out their priorities. JRF want to see this change, and our own Housing Trust is clear about its intent to be an 'anti-poverty landlord'.
The Poverty Focussed Review identifies that landlords are now generally building affordable rent properties as to do otherwise would entail too large a reduction in development. There are differing views on who should be housed in the resulting Affordable Rent properties – with some landlords prioritising working households, and others feeling that those in receipt of full housing benefit were most suited to these higher-rent properties. The danger is that those individuals trying to cope with the increasingly dynamic labour market, those who find themselves in a 'low pay – no pay' cycle, fall into neither group.
It is this increasingly dynamic labour market that provides the context for 'Living Rents' – a new development framework for affordable housing developed by Savills on behalf of JRF and the National Housing Federation.
Living Rents moves away from any link to the housing market. Instead, rents are directly linked to local earnings. That's a big change compared to existing models, which have set rents in relation to market rents (Affordable Rents) or largely based them on property values (Social Rents).
The Living Rent for a one bedroom property is therefore based on 28% of net lower quartile earnings in the local authority concerned. Rents for larger properties are calculated using the recognised OECD equivalisation scale and data on existing letting patterns. The rent produced varies by local authority, but is generally slightly above a social rent, but substantially below Affordable Rents or private rented rates. The approach to equivalisation also results in a wider differential between rents according to bed size.
The rents that arise for Trafford are provided below. Whilst it is accepted that these are higher than the prevailing social rents, the real comparison for a low income household in housing need today is likely to be a choice between Affordable Rents (if a property can be accessed) or the private rented sector.
The model can deliver at scale. The framework developed for JRF and NHF by Savills is based on providing 40,000 homes per year at Living Rents as part of a larger programme including 40,000 additional homes for shared ownership or intermediate rents. This requires additional investment and enabling, but the benefits are clear.
Living Rents is an evidence-based method of linking rents directly to the labour market likely to be accessed by those on low incomes. It is an attempt both to balance levels of affordability and supply, and to create a bold but practical model that anchors rents in the reality of the changed labour market. The particular methodology developed in the report may not be right for every landlord or every locality, but the principle of linking rents to earnings is one that JRF believes should play an important role in the future provision of genuinely affordable housing.

Jutta Roosen
EAAE President
The research must be a significant scientific contribution to the field of knowledge in any of the areas of agricultural economics. The work should demonstrate excellence in research and may present a theoretical or methodological innovation.
Journal articles must have been published in 2021. The date of publication is that of the issue; articles available online in their final form on the journal's web page, for which the 2021 issue in which they will appear is unequivocally known are eligible for the Award, even if the issue has not been published in print yet. Maximum one award is given.
This Award recognizes an outstanding publication that used research results to provide value for society. The publication preferably has already a demonstrable impact on society, by referring to a change or an initiation of a change in policy, business practice, social practice or societal debate, which was incentivised by, or can be related to the research. It can do this by directly exploiting results or by playing an active role ensuring stakeholders effectively use the results.
The purpose of the Award is to recognize excellence, and encourage interest in societally relevant economic research. Members can nominate their own publication, or the publication of another EAAE member. The price can be awarded to a journal article, book or book chapter, that has been published between 2016 and 2021. The date of a journal article is that of the issue. The award is granted once per three years.
The potential candidates should address the following criteria:
Pathway from output (results from research) to societal benefits. Publications should show how research results have contributed to societal benefits as well as their scalability and sustainability
Achieved impact: Authors should provide verifiable examples about how their research results have benefitted the society and who are the user communities that have profited from it.
The list of past winners of the Outstanding ERAE Journal Article and the Research Discovery Award are available on the EAAE website. The EAAE Societal Impact Award in honour of Giovanni Anania has been announced for the first time in the 2021 Call. It has tried to refund in only one award the former Policy Contribution Award in honour of Giovanni Anania and the EAAE Book Award. Past winners of both awards can be found in the same link.

ACCEPT Announce New Upcoming Live Release Symphonic Terror – Live at Wacken 2017
Friday, June 22, 2018 @ 2:17 PM
Out November 23rd
The German heavy metal legends ACCEPT are experiencing more success than ever, and have hit their stride creatively! In the 10th year since the band's reunion, the quintet can look back on four top 10 albums in Germany, including an unbelievable #1 with Blind Rage (2014) and a brilliant #3 with their latest album The Rise Of Chaos (2017).
Six months after the success that was The Rise Of Chaos world tour, ACCEPT will start their festival season on the 22th of June at Rockfels Open Air, and will play headline shows at legendary Bang Your Head!!! in Balingen as well as at Rock am Stück festival and at Rock am Härtsfeldsee. They will finish the tour leg on July 28th as special guests to the legendary JUDAS PRIEST in Vienna.
Over the past few months, the German band has been anything but passive, instead they've been finalizing their latest project, their upcoming live release Symphonic Terror – Live at Wacken 2017, which will be released on November 23rd via Nuclear Blast!
Fans can expect a unique, 2 hour ACCEPT show, shot on August 3rd, 2017 at the legendary W:O:A, where the band played the biggest and most extraordinary show of their career in front of 80.000 live fans at the festival, on top of thousands more fans watching via the live stream! The show was divided into three parts, showing the full creative power of ACCEPT: The first part hosted the premiere of new tracks "Die By The Sword" and "Koolaid", as well as some of their most popular songs, such as "Restless And Wild" and "Pandemic". The middle part hosted guitarist Wolf Hoffmann accompanied by a symphony orchestra, presenting the best-of from his recent solo album Headbangers Symphony, which includes metal versions of some of the world's biggest classical compositions (e.g. from Beethoven, Mozart, Vivaldi,...). And in the last but not least part, fans were able to bang their heads to ACCEPT anthems (also accompanied by the orchestra), such as "Princess Of The Dawn", "Breaker", "Fast As A Shark" and "Metal Heart", as well as to new songs like "Stalingrad", "Shadow Soldiers" or "Teutonic Terror". The finale could be nothing less than an 8 minute version of their eminent hit "Balls To The Walls"!
"This was a mash-up of intensity and precision," Wolf Hoffmann says about the fusion of Heavy Metal and classical music. "The fans are extremely open-minded," continues Wolf happy, "but I was nervous 'till the last minute before the show anyway. After all it's still a metal festival! But I think that, after many years of ACCEPT combining both worlds, fans have started to really accept this concept."
By the way: What started as a world premiere in Wacken and caused quite a stir worldwide (thanks to the live streams) will be continued in early 2019. This means: ACCEPT are planning to tour across Europe with an orchestra in Spring 2019! "I really hope we will be able to fulfill our dream - we are working hard on it!" tells Wolf Hoffmann with eager anticipation. "What I can already say now is that there will be lots of optical and musical surprises, that fans of ACCEPT have never experienced before. We want to multiply what we have achieved in Wacken and are happy about every bit of support we get. One thing is for sure: 2019 will be exciting!"

SAN JOSE — The family of a mentally ill inmate hospitalized last month after repeatedly hitting his head against the side of a jail transport van is accusing deputies and jail staff of mishandling him and not providing prompt medical attention once it became clear he was suffering from a potentially fatal breakdown.
Andy Hogan, 24, remains at Valley Medical Center following the Aug. 25 episode, though he is no longer in a medically induced coma, his parents told this news organization.
Criminal-justice attorney Paula Canny said she plans to file an administrative claim against Santa Clara County on behalf of the Hogans, alleging a series of errant decisions. Such a claim is the first procedural step toward a potential lawsuit.
The Sheriff's Office, which oversees jail operations in the county, defended its conduct and referenced a long-running dialogue about how law-enforcement agencies and jails constitute the civic response to mental-health crises in the absence of more robust public services.
"On a daily basis, our deputies and staff experience the challenges of managing and caring for seriously mentally ill inmates in a custody environment," the agency said in a statement.
Canny's involvement is notable given that she represented the family of Michael Tyree, a mentally ill inmate who was beaten to death three years ago by three jail deputies who were later convicted of murder. Canny helped negotiate a $3.5 million county settlement for his survivors.
Tyree's murder spurred a top-to-bottom evaluation and audit of the county's jail facilities and correctional policies. In the wake of the incident, the Board of Supervisors instituted more than 100 reforms recommended by a blue-ribbon commission and created the position of an independent monitor for the county's jail and sheriff operations.
According to the Sheriff's Office, Andy Hogan was being transported the morning of Aug. 25 from the Elmwood men's jail in Milpitas to the Main Jail in North San Jose to receive in-custody mental-health treatment. His parents said he was diagnosed with schizophrenia about five years ago. He was arrested Aug. 10 in Milpitas on a misdemeanor assault charge and probation violation.
A source familiar with the investigation into the injuries told this news organization what when Andy Hogan was being ushered into the secured rear passenger area of a transport van, he was agitated but not physically resisting.
The source added that mental-health personnel at Elmwood were called to check on him before two correctional deputies drove him to the Main Jail.
In the middle of the five-mile trip between jail facilities, the Sheriff's Office said the inmate, restrained by shackles and a waist chain, began "began self-harming" by hitting his head against the walls of the van's passenger area, which has bus-style seating and is separated from deputies by a security partition.
"Deputies do not ride in this secured area of the transportation vehicle under any circumstances," the agency said.
The family and the Sheriff's Office are in dispute over how quickly Andy Hogan received medical treatment once the transport van arrived at the sally port of the Main Jail where inmates are typically offloaded. They agree that some amount of time passed between the arrival of the van and when an ambulance came to take him to Valley Medical Center, but disagree over whether deputies and jail medical staff should have intervened.
"In that lapse of time, that he was lacking help, they didn't want to touch him," Chris Hogan said.
But sources in the Sheriff's Office, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak about the matter and because it involves potential litigation, argue that the deputies performed well given the circumstances, and that they would also be criticized if they intervened and inadvertently harmed the inmate.
They said deputies are trained to defer to medical staff, and noted that a jail nurse who was called out to the sally port told deputies to call an ambulance and went back inside the jail. The county administration declined to comment about the involvement of the jail medical staff, citing the pending claim.
Canny said the entire case of Andy Hogan, from his initial arrest to his jailing to his transport, was mishandled, and also blames systemic deficiencies in how mental illness is addressed. Andy Hogan's parents described repeated visits by their son to emergency psychiatric services in the county, including in the days before his arrest.
Canny reiterated that Andy Hogan belonged in psychiatric care instead of jail, and at minimum, should have been booked immediately into the Main Jail's psychiatric unit.
But in the meantime, a change is being made on how individual inmates are transported between jail facilities. Patrol vehicles will now be used, officials said, because they don't offer the space for an inmate to inflict the type of injuries that Andy Hogan did.
Meanwhile, Chris and Wendy Hogan want clear answers about how their son ended up in the hospital in his current state, and want better treatment in general for people like him.
"Maybe he would not have gone to that extreme, had he been where he was supposed to go," Wendy Hogan said.


The quick sort algorithm is slower than merge sort algorithm, but requires less space, since it does not copy the array being searched into a temporary array, but performs all operations on the initial array.
The hart of the quick sort is the partitioning process. The algorithm picks a place in the array (usually the last element) and considers it to be a pivot. Then it throws every value that is less than that pivot to the left, and a value greater than the pivot to the right. After that the pivot is placed in the correct position of where it belongs in the array. Then the partitioning process begins in the right part of the array, and in the left part of the array until all elements of the array are sorted.
The merge sort algorithm is pretty fast algorithm for sorting list elements. Its running time is O(n log n). The merge sort may implement a recursive approach. Splitting sets the data to the stage where it is eligible for being merge.
The insertion sort algorithm is of O(n2) complexity. It divides an array into two sections: a sorted section and unsorted section. In each step of the algorithm the number is moved from unsorted section to sorted one, until the entire array is sorted.
The selection sort algorithm has the worst case running time of O(n2) complexity. Given an array it scans from left to right to find the smallest number in the array. Once the algorithm is done scanning the entire array and the smallest number has been found, it is swapped into the first space. Then the scanning process starts over again, but this time from the second space. Once a new minimum has been found, that will be swapped into the second space. And so on.
b) If a[q] == x, than return q.
The Binary Search algorithm is a bit more complex to code, but it is much more powerful and efficient than the linear search algorithm. Note that the binary search can be done only on a SORTED collection of data!
p is the first index, r is the last index, and q is the index in the midpoint of the array.
3) Return the value of result as the output.
The Stack data structure allows for LIFO (last in – first out) functionality. We can use is it within complex structures where we need the order of items to be reversed.
Of course, there would be a much simpler solution for such a basic operation as a string reverse, but the code above just illustrates the LIFO benefit.

In Memoriam: Malick Sidibé (1936 – 2016)
Olivier Laurent,Rachel Lowry,Liz Ronk
Away from the formalities of conventional portrait photography, away from the clichés of colonialism imagery, Malick Sidibé's pictures of Mali's youth conveyed the high-spirited feeling of a country that has just gained its independence. Over the years, his black-and-white pictures have influenced many of his contemporaries in Africa and beyond. Now, almost 60 years after he first opened a photography studio in Bamako, Sidibé has died of complications of diabetes, the Associated Press reports. He was 80.
"It's a great loss for Mali. He was part of our cultural heritage," said Mali's culture minister N'Diaye Ramatoulaye Diallo, according to The Guardian. " The whole of Mali is in mourning."

"A witness of his country's effervescent independence, and among the young folk besotted with music, Malick Sidibé photographed the parties and joys of Bamako," French culture minister Audrey Azoulay added in a statement. "A master of portraiture, he showered his studio's visitors with his kind and benevolent gaze. I send my heartfelt condolences to his relatives."
Born to a peasant family in what was then French Sudan in 1935 or 1936, he left his shepherding duties at the age of 10, to study at a colonial school at which he was one of very few non-white students. His artistic talent was quickly noticed and he won a place at École des Artisans Soudanais in Bamako in 1952. The course of his career changed when he was approached by society photographer Gérard Guillat, who asked him to become his apprentice.
While working at the studio, Sidibé cycled to nightclubs in Bamako in the evenings, photographing party-goers with his first camera, a Brownie Flash. He became known as "the Eye of Bamako," famous for his documentary-style photography that offered a rare glimpse into African youth culture, from concerts to nightclubs to sports events. With the coming of Malian independence in 1960, those images took on a deeper layer of meaning.
Les "Happy Boys", Feb. 25, 1963 Malick Sidibe—Courtesy Gallery FIFTY ONE
"We were entering a new era, and people wanted to dance," Sidibé once said. "Music freed us. Suddenly, young men could get close to young women, hold them in their hands. Before, it was not allowed. And everyone wanted to be photographed dancing up close."
His incommensurable work spanning six decades — currently showing at the Jack Shainman Gallery in New York — gained the international recognition it deserved in 2003 when he received the prestigious Hasselblad Award and four years later when La Biennale di Venezia awarded him the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement Award. He was the first photographer to have received this distinction.
"For many people who know something about photography — Africans and non-Africans alike — Malick Sidibé's work was the very embodiment of African photography. In part this is because of the profound humanistic spirit of his images and the spark and originality of his vision," says John Edwin Mason, a writer and professor of African History at the University of Virginia. Though many westerners may have been fired drawn in by the idea that Sidibé's work was exotic or "unsettling," in some ways, Mason says, they would soon find just the opposite to be true. "Ultimately, however, [audiences] have embraced the ways in which Sidibé's photographs confirm our shared humanity."
"He reminded me so much of my own father which is why I think I spent time with him," says Jehad Nga, a photographer who became friends with Sidibé after they met in 2011. "We sat once and went through one of his books, which is a chronicle of Mali's history. Like every book he shared with me, it took hours to get through it. At every page, he would stop and light up while telling the story behind the frame. Frame by frame, he recalled who and where. He would pore over it as if seeing it for the first time."
The following photographs were taken in Bamako, Mali in March 2013. A curtain used as a backdrop hangs in Malick Sidibe's Bamako studio. The curtain has been in use since the opening of the studio in 1960 and never has been replaced. Many of Sidibe's most famous photographs feature the backdrop.Jehad Nga for TIME

Up until his last days, Sidibé lived and worked in the same one-room studio, welcoming any and all visitors and surrounded by his family and neighbors, "light years from the art centers of the world," as Nga wrote in 2014. And, Nga tells TIME, Sidibé still had big plans for the future. Recently, he shared his ideas for a new book based off of old works.
Sidibé, who leaves behind three wives and 17 children, will be buried in his natal village, Soloba.

Here it is, another Sunday morning, so I figured I'd go with what is probably the most Sunday morning album ever.
While Drake's third and final album, the more stripped-down Pink Moon, is undeniably stunning, Bryter Later retains some of the orchestral pop flourishes of the debut, a middle ground that finds him blending acoustic folk and ethereal, post-psychedelic baroque melancholia into one of the most gentle, relaxing albums I've ever heard. It's arguably a little slight, the opening and closing instrumentals and the instrumental title track leaving just 7 vocal tracks, but there's more than enough sheer bliss in its running time.
"Hazey Jane II" is the closest Drake ever got to straight-out pop, and it's probably my favorite song of his (well, alongside "Pink Moon"), the subtle brass and strings making Drake's typically sad and hypnotic folk leanings positively buoyant. Close behind is the similarly tuneful "One Of These Things," another captivating and infectious tune that is remarkably complex for all its simplicity. And then you've got the yearning, beautiful "Fly," one of those tunes that just hits you in the gut, and the final vocal track, "Northern Sky," which in other hands could have been a sappy love song but from Drake is a moving work of epic poetry.
And while the instrumentals that bookend the album aren't necessarily essential, pretty though they may be, the title track tucked into the middle of the album is positively gorgeous, a tune that most perfectly encapsulates the album's unique ability to sound both like a clear relic of the early 70s yet standing absolutely outside of time.
Like all of Drake's phenomenal three-album run, this works best as accompaniment for a Sunday morning, the sun just starting to rise and stream in your windows, and it's long been one of my go-to's when I'm unsure how I want to kick off a lazy day.
Sadly, there aren't any video clips from Drake's tragically brief time with us, but someone set their holiday videos to the title instrumental, and it's quite lovely:
...and here's an audio rip of "Fly":

Lucy 46 sought nutritional therapy advice with Claire for her chronic digestive issues. Bloating, cramping and wind, coupled with moderate constipation, had been a daily trial for this active mother of four.
While Lucy had been symptomatic for the last 10 years, her symptoms had worsened after a period of intense stress, five years previously.
On paper, this client had a super diet: mostly vegetarian, low in sugar with plenty of wholegrains, fruit and vegetables, however despite this her digestive issues and accompanying fatigue were getting her down. She had identified foods that she knew she reacted badly to and was clear that symptoms worsened during stressful periods.
Dietary recommendations included short elimination/reintroduction cycles to pinpoint specific food sensitivities; the consumption of specific gut nourishing foods; avoidance of high FODMAP foods and the reduction of raw meals and fruit (which exacerbated her IBS symptoms). Digestive support supplements were recommended and Lucy was advised to pay attention to stress management.
At her follow-up appointment, this client reported good improvements, but some symptoms lingered. A positive test for SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth) helped us to address the remaining digestive imbalance through further dietary modifications and targeted supplements.
After a few months, Lucy was mostly symptom free and able to re-introduce some of the foods she had previously been sensitive to. As part of her long-term self care, she continues to mind sugar levels and stress, which she knows can bring on flares of IBS.

Protesting uni student who held up flight told to pay Qantas $3,430
By Journalist Sarah McVeigh

On the 2nd of February last year, a uni student made a snap decision at Melbourne airport that would delay a flight to Darwin, see her marched off the Qantas plane by the Australian Federal Police and finally, in court.
Jasmine Pilbrow had been visiting asylum seekers in detention and heard that a Tamil man was due to be deported from Melbourne to Darwin and then on to Colombo in Sri Lanka.
The 22-year-old told Hack she decided to go to the airport and try to convince passengers on the Qantas flight to Darwin to protest the asylum seeker's removal.
After failing to find any passengers wanting to get involved, Jasmine says she spontaneously bought a ticket for the flight.
"When nobody else looked like they would do that, we decided to buy a ticket and I went onto that plane," she said.
"Once everybody was on board, I stood up and I was approached by two Qantas workers who asked me if I was going to sit down and if not, what was going on."
Refusing to take her seat, she told the attendants her plan.
"I just informed them that I was happy to be taken off the plane once the asylum seeker was taken off first. They then didn't approach me until they came back about half an hour later and let me know that if I didn't sit down now the Australian Federal Police would come on and take me off.
"After an hour the AFP came on, they took the man off and then I followed behind."
Jasmine says she was not told to expect charges to be laid and didn't hear anything from authorities about her protest for a year afterwards.
"It wasn't until a year later that I was given a summons and charged with interfering with a cabin crew member," she said.
"I was kind of surprised. I thought because of the time frame that nothing would have came to me...so it was quite out of the blue."
An AFP spokesperson told Hack they had needed the time to gather evidence before charging Jasmine.
"Conducting an investigation and gathering evidence to put before the court can take time, and depends upon the circumstances of the matter."
Protester told to show remorse by paying Qantas
On Friday, Jasmine was found guilty at the Broadmeadows Magistrates' Court of interfering with an airline crew member. She argued - unsuccessfully - that she had broken the law out of "necessity".
"The magistrate found me guilty of the charge but decided to give me an opportunity to show remorse by paying Qantas $3,430."
Jasmine plans to crowd fund the money to pay Qantas and hopes to raise double the amount so she can donate the difference to asylum seeker organisations. In one night she has received pledges for over $6,000.
She defended asking supporters to pay her fine, rather than paying directly to asylum seeker organisations.
"We're going to ask Qantas... to donate that to the same organisations we are donating to."
A Qantas spokesperson told Hack the fine Jasmine has been asked to pay was to cover the cost of the disruption.
Jasmine will be sentenced on the 11th November and faces up to 2 years imprisonment or a $10,200 fine.
Tamil asylum seeker deported anyway
Despite her protest, Jasmine says she learned the Tamil asylum seeker was deported a few weeks later "and they did fly him from Darwin and then to Sri Lanka".
She says the man had asked for people to intervene and she hoped that her protest would buy the man some time to argue his case.
"We knew that we had the potential to bring him back to Melbourne on that day - which it did - and we knew it would than provide the opportunity for lawyers to intervene if there was enough of a case.
"I think it's really important for Australia to be aware of and to continue to highlight the real fear and the real danger that Tamil people face."
"There's a large Tamil community in Melbourne seeking asylum. Just with the political situation and the agreement that our country has with Sri Lanka… (our government has) quite a strong political reason to say that Sri Lanka is safe, because Sri Lanka has agreed to stop the boats from coming to Australia. So they are now not acknowledging the fact that Sri Lanka is still unsafe."
In 2014, Australia gave Sri Lanka two patrol boats for use in intercepting people smugglers in Sri Lankan waters.
Is Sri Lanka unsafe for Tamils?
The High Commissioner for Sri Lanka in Australia Somasundaram Skandakumar, himself a Tamil, told Hack that it is "absolutely" safe for Tamils in his country and has been since their new president took office in January last year.
"There is absolutely no reason as to why any Sri Lankan living overseas, and Tamils particularly, should not go back and feel safe," he said.
"Sri Lanka is now a place where everyone can live equally and have equal opportunities and that's what we're working towards."
But the former secretary of the Australasian Federation of Tamil Associations Dr Victor Rajakulendran says Tamils who are being deported from Australia to Sri Lanka have good reasons to be afraid of returning to their country.
"The military machinery has not been dismantled by the new government," he told Hack.
He says the military are controlling the northern parts of the country and anyone who has had any associations with the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) in the past can be targeted.
"In the north… most of the people have worked for LTTE because that was the only way for survival when LTTE was in control of those areas - they can be picked up at any time as LTTE suspects and can go through all kinds of torture.
"People who have come by boat here… if you talk to them… people have been hung by their feet and their head has been covered by a bag with chili powder, then they were asked to confess that they have worked for LTTE and they have extracted all kinds of confessions for treating people like that," he said.
Three days ago, United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki Moon gave a speech in Sri Lanka's capital Colombo for the first time since the civil war ended in 2009. He praised the country for making progress but said "more can and should be done to address the legacy of the past and acknowledge the voices of the victims".
He called on the Sri Lankan government to properly resource the Human Rights Commission there, to speed up the return of land to displaced communities and to reduce the size of the military in the North and East of the country in order to "build trust and reduce tensions".
The High Commissioner for Sri Lanka in Australia Somasundaram Skandakumar says despite the efforts of the Sri Lankan government, the toll of the country's civil war is still being felt.
"When you have come through the kind of conflict that we have, 27 brutal years, there are scars on both sides of the divide that are probably never going to heal."

In celebration of the 25th anniversary of the Pol Roger Portfolio, we arranged the third biennial Pol Roger Regatta. The Regatta is made possible by the Artemis Offshore Academy, who we have supported since 2010. The Offshore Academy is a UK training programme of excellence for British short-handed sailors, providing a structure to bring talented sailors up through the ranks. Each of the Regatta boats was skippered by an Academy sailor, two of whom had just returned from competing in the Solitaire du Figaro.
We arrived at the Royal Southampton Yacht Club, joined by Hubert de Billy from Pol Roger & Cie and Anthony and George Wills of Kilchoman, plus a selection of customers, press and friends of the company. The day started with a breakfast briefing, which covered safety and the itinerary for the day, before separating into teams of 5, including an Academy Skipper, and donning our Regatta tees! We headed down to the harbour from which point the skippers familiarised us with the Figaro boats; these are 33ft long racing boats, built to withstand the fiercest conditions. These boats are raced by all the competitors in the gruelling Solitaire du Figaro and are the chosen boat for the Artemis Offshore Academy.
From this point we headed out into the Solent, at which point the skippers handed over the reins to their crews, ensuring that all on board experienced steering, gybeing and winching. Following a swift lunch on board, the racing commenced! The start point was the Champagne Pol Roger buoy, from which point we sailed down to Artemis the Profit Hunter buoy, starboard side, before racing back to the Pol Roger buoy. After a couple of laps of this route, we embarked on the Pol Roger Regatta race proper, which was to start at the Pol Roger Buoy and then onwards, all the way into Cowes, finishing at the Prince Consort buoy. The three boats that were skippered by a Rookie sailor were given a 3 minute head start, which proved to be decisive, with boat no. 77, skippered by Will Harris, taking the lead from the outset and remaining ahead of the pack until the end.
Once the Figaros were moored in Cowes, we headed to the Island Sailing Club for a restorative glass of Pol Roger Brut Reserve. It was a fantastic and memorable day, improved by fine weather and good wind, and one which enlightened all involved to the tremendous work done by the Offshore Academy, nurturing exceptional British sailing talent.

Stronger Than You Know
AMAZON BARNES AND NOBLE
STRONGER THAN YOU KNOW is on two School Library Journal's "Bibliotherapy for Teens" articles. You can find the first HERE, and the second HERE.
After police intervention, fifteen-year-old Joy has finally escaped the trailer where she once lived with her mother and survived years of confinement and abuse. Now living with her aunt, uncle, and cousins in a comfortable house, she's sure she'll never belong. Wracked by panic attacks, afraid to talk to anyone at her new school, Joy's got a whole list of reasons why she's crazy. With immense courage, Joy finds friends and grows closer to her new family. But just when hope is taking hold, she learns she must testify in her mother's trial. Can she face her old life without losing her way in the new one? Will she ever truly belong in a world that seems too normal to be real?
"The teen's phobias and difficulties are depicted with honesty and sympathy, and readers will struggle along with her as she begins to interact with her new family and her peers. While the subject matter is tough, this realistic title will draw teens in with its believable characters… A go-to work for fans of realistic fiction about teens who have survived severe abuse: physical, sexual, and emotional." –Sarah Wilsman, Kent Free Library, Kent, OH (School Library Journal)
"Overall this was a fantastic story of a girl who suffered awful tragedy and learned to overcome it with people who loved her. Its true and realistic and one of my favorite books of this year." – Nemo Rosa (Blame It On The Books)
"From the first page—a children's services' succinct and dispassionate report on Joy's situation—readers will be drawn into the first-person story. Told simply and vividly with effective use of flashbacks, this tale of a teen overcoming appalling abuse and neglect will resonate with readers. Although Perry never fully addresses the causes of Joy's suffering at the hands of her mother, her believable characters and insightful narrative raise this short, moving tale above the ranks of the typical problem novel. This fine, positive story about a strong young woman will be a valuable addition to any library collection serving teens." — Jamie Hansen (VOYA)
"This is not a story in which the trauma survivor is Healed By Love. The romance is secondary to Joy learning to trust another person, and also a way of showing that despite her past experience, sexual contact can be a consensual, happy thing. (If anyone is unbelievably perfect in this book, it's her love interest, but he's so sweet that I let it go.)" – Leila Roy for KIRKUS
"Offers a portrait, rare in YA, of the way compassionate, functional families work and the good effects they can produce." – The Bulletin of The Center for Children's Books
"This brilliantly elucidated Joy's terrible past not by describing it in sordid detail, but in evidencing it in her inability to cope at her aunt's. Her insistence that the cigarette burns, which everyone thinks are so horrible, were the least horrible part of living with her mother is chilling. Worldly readers will be able to guess at exactly went on, and more naive readers will just know how traumatized Joy is without becoming so themselves. Brilliant." – Ms. Yingling Reads
"…a leading contender right now for my Book Of The Year award. Powerful, thought provoking, unforgettable, I cannot come up with enough good things to say about this book. Joy has become one of my all time favorite book characters." -Michael Burhans
THE STORY BEHIND THE STORY:
There's a bench at my childrens' elementary school with the name of a child who was killed in a fire. I got acquainted with the case because of my husband, and the more I learned about this child's life at home, the more broken my heart felt.
I won't go into detail becuase there are days when I wish I could un-know what I know. I will say that the tragedy and injustice of the whole situation brought me to tears almost daily. I woke up one Saturday morning with the same line running in my head over and over again. "I read somewhere that happiness is fleeting, but joy sticks with you, holds on to you, and fills you up. The fact that my name is Joy is sort of a lesson in irony."
Once I realized that this line wasn't going to leave me alone until I wrote it down, I started writing. I wrote all day, all weeked. I had half the book done by Monday night. I had the rest of the book done the following weekend. I turned the tragic story of a young boy, into a girl who lived in the same kind of house. She doesn't die in a fire at the age of five, but lives in that house until she's fifteen–nearly completely shut off from the rest of the world.
This is a survival story, but more than that, this is a book about what happens after the great rescue, and how being removed from an awful situation is sometimes only half the battle.
Love to write about love…
Joy's journey for a new normal…


It was me on the floor yes, i got told last night, but like i said to you last night.. i cant actually remember that part And i wont be getting bladdered again anyway, im not completely stupid it was the 1st time ive been like that, and it wont be happening again for a long time.
As I am a bar person this seemed like something I should look into, as I could in fact be breaking the law.
Both quote the same legal age!
Hope this helps to clarify things.
Not really. There appears to be some confusion as to the legal drinking age as on this site it says 18yrs.
It is illegal to smoke under 18yrs and the age of consent is 17yrs! But neither has anything to do with this subject either.
And there you go making assumptions again i.e. the North East. I'm not from the North East lol!
However I will ask the appropriate people and let you know!
Was'nt it you Jade this friday and last friday at the corfu for happy hour and wrecked with your friends before you went to the Dhekelia rd bars? and don't you go out every friday with your friends?
CJ, I'm not quite sure what your intentions are with regards to that posting?
What l actually mean is l got the impression that this underage drinking was a one off, when it is fact it happens every friday.
The girls probably did'nt need any money as it was the army boys ordering the rounds and by 9pm one of them was incapable of speech.
It was a topic of conversation at the bar on friday about the amount of drink being consumed. I am suprised that Jade is still allowed in Barbellas considering the publicity, and the underage drinking.
Throughout the ages teenages have been drinking underage and l don't think it will stop here or anywhere else and forged ID is always available.
l have only wrote what l and others see every week.
I have never said underage drinking was a one off. What was a one off was Jade coming home in the state she was the previous week, which is where this all kicked off from. I am not a fool, I know underage drinking goes on, of course the underage kids will do it if they can get away with it.
My concern is, and always was the fact that absolutely no ID checks are made at all. And even when these kids are staggering around and incapable of speech, still they are being served - why????
I am also suprised that they are still allowed into Barbella's - despite DJ saying in an earlier post that ID's will be checked. Having said that, Jade would be let in anyway as she is 17 and as has been stated, it seems that 17 is acceptable. I strongly disagree, but these bars and clubs won't be seeing these kids with malfunctioning livers etc in their later lives if a heavy, binge drinking culture is encouraged at such a young age, so what do they care.
All I ask Caroline is that if you are going to post things like this on an open forum that you please ensure your facts are straight. Jade was not wrecked on Friday night, and I resent the implications that you made. She has made one mistake, a mistake that she has learned a valuable lesson from.
Can anyone tell me if this place is any good on a Thursday night? We have a girly night planned and wanna see where the happenin' place is before we venture out.
Thanks Dave! We will defo be there Thrusday night then. We have a group of about 10 of us coming down. So BOGOF then?!! What are drink prices like apprx?
Is it a special occasion or just a night out ?
Hi ya, no we didn't make it out in the end. All had a pretty heavy night on Wed so put a hold on our girly night out. Will come down soon thou!
Has Barbela shut down now?

Q: Can't run gunicorn on port 80 while deploying django app on AWS EC2 I am running Ubuntu 14.04 instance in my EC2 AWS.

A: **It seems that you have not added port 80 to your security groups..
Also you will have to use sudo before your command to access port 80
Hope this helps**

A: As suggested in comments, its not recommended  to run gunicorn on port 80.
We instead run it on port greater than  1024 (non privileged ports) and by reverse poxy request to port greater than 1014 running on gunicorn.
This can be done by editing nginx config file.
