Linux.SYS-CON.com FEEDBACK: "The Copyleft/GPL Is Unequivocally a License"
"The GPL license has been scrutinized by the finest legal minds looking for loopholes and has still stood for over a decade."
Read response to Daniel Wallace by Celia Santander Esq.
1) The GPL License is a grant of rights, not a contract.
2) Grants of rights do not require consideration.
3) Federal copyright law trumps local state laws.
"The flaw logic Daniel Wallace uses has been raised," observes Mohring, "and utterly refuted many times since it was first put forward over a DECADE ago."
1. The Copyleft/GPL is unequivocally a license. The concept of a license for copyrighted material is very well developed in copyright case law, and there is nothing about the Copyleft/GPL that would render it anything other than a license. There are many examples of public licenses for copyrighted material; most of them simply add terms such as requiring identification of the source of the material; forbidding changes except for personal use (i.e., reserving from the license the right to make derivate works); granting the right to copy for noncommercial use only, etc. There is nothing in copyright case law to suggest that these (public) licenses are invalid.
2. Under copyright case law, there is no requirement that a license of copyright be supported by consideration (compensation). This is because it is not a contract but a grant of property rights. Contracts require consideration, but grants do not. This is an elementary and well-settled principle of property law.
3. In the United States, the Copyright Act of 1976 pre-empts all state law that previously dealt with intellectual property rights in the matter subject to the Act (as defined in Sections 102 of the Act). This was the explicit intent of Congress and has been repeatedly upheld by the courts. Therefore, any pre-existing state law that purported to modify the nature or terms of a license of copyright would be pre-empted, and any subsequent state law that did likewise would be inoperative. In either case, I doubt if the state law would operate in any case to render the Copyleft/GPL unenforceable, because it is a grant and not a contract."
Mohring continues. "Note that in the same post Michael C. Berch also states:"
"I don't understand what Mr. Klossner means by "The copyleft is not a license, it is the terms of a 'publication' in the parlance of copyright law"; in copyright law, a work is either published or not published, and if the work is not published, much of the Act does not apply. However, there is no doubt that the GNU programs are published within the meaning of the Act (section 101), so I don't know what the concept of "terms" is supposed to refer to here. I have been a frequent critic of FSF and the political and philosophical underpinnings of Project GNU, and more recently of Richard Stallman's attempts to use publicly-funded networks for partisan political advocacy, but I find nothing in the GNU Public License that would render it unenforceable under copyright law or federal or state common law."
In summary, Mohring says: "The GPL license has been scrutinized by the finest legal minds looking for loopholes and has still stood for over a decade. Even Microsoft, for whom the GPL is such an anathema, distribute the GPL licensed GCC compiler toolchain with interix/SFU, have chosen to abide by the terms of the GPL rather than to challenge it in court."
LINUX VIEWPOINT: "GPL - Are We Wishing for Something We Really Don't Want?"

Q: UIButton with background image from sprite sheet in table view causes memory warning? I have a sprite sheet in my documents directory. The sprites sheet consists of 256 icons.
I have a table view, in which for each row I am creating 3 buttons with background images from the sliced part of the sprite sheet.
Below is the code to extract the sliced icon from sprite. Using the coordinates known
    -(UIImage *)getSlicedImageForDictionary:(NSDictionary *)spriteInfoDictionary spriteImageRef:(UIImage *)spriteImageReference{

    NSString *frameString = [spriteInfoDictionary objectForKey:@"frame"];
    NSString *frameStringWithOnlyCommas = [[[frameString stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"\"" withString:@""] stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"{" withString:@""] stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"}" withString:@""];

    NSArray *frameValues = [frameStringWithOnlyCommas componentsSeparatedByString:@","];

    CGImageRef cgIcon = CGImageCreateWithImageInRect(spriteImageReference.CGImage, CGRectMake([[frameValues objectAtIndex:0] floatValue],     [[frameValues objectAtIndex:1] floatValue], [[frameValues objectAtIndex:2] floatValue], [[frameValues objectAtIndex:3] floatValue]));
    UIImage *icon = [UIImage imageWithCGImage:cgIcon];
    frameString = nil;
    frameStringWithOnlyCommas = nil;
    frameValues = nil;
    CGImageRelease(cgIcon);
    return icon;
}

I am calling the above method in the for loop as below,
for (int i = 0; i < [iconInfoArray count]; i ++) {
   NSDictionary *currentBook = [spriteInfoDictionary objectForKey:[iconInfoArray objectAtIndex:i]];
   articleMetaData.articleImage = [self getSlicedImageForDictionary:currentBook spriteImageRef:self.spriteImageSource];
   [spriteIconsArray addObject:articleMetaData];
}

The problem is,
When I set the buttons in the table view from the spriteIconsArray I am getting the "Received memory warning" problem and the application crashes.
[btn setBackgroundImage:[spriteIconsArray objectAtIndex:i] forState:UIControlStateNormal];

But when I write the image reference to the documents directory I am not getting any memory warnings and the application runs smoothly.
NSData *data = UIImagePNGRepresentation([spriteIconsArray objectAtIndex:i]);
NSString *pathOfTempImage = [[NSHomeDirectory() stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"Documents"] stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"tempIcon.png"];
[data writeToFile:pathOfTempImage atomically:YES];
[btn setBackgroundImage:pathOfTempImage forState:UIControlStateNormal];

I am confused why this is happening. I don't want to write the image to the documents and read it again, which may create some latency for large set of data.
Please suggest me in this.
Thanks

Zotokuin Temple, Motomachi, Yokohama, Japan
9 May 2019 by Monissa
YOKOHAMA Obsèques Japonaises (montant au Temple).
(Japanese funeral rites (climbing to the Temple))
Zôtoku-in is a Kôya-san Shingon Buddhist temple in the Heiraku neighborhood of Yokohama; originally located in the Motomachi neighborhood and directly associated with the Yokohama Foreign Cemetery, it was moved to Heiraku, up on the Bluff, after the 1923 Great Kantô Earthquake. The chief objects of worship are Kôbô Daishi and Fudô Myôô. The temple's Yakushi Hall, most recently rebuilt in 1972, remains in Motomachi. It is said to date, originally, to the 9th century, though there is no surviving documentation of this. The temple's 20th century stone and metal main gate was replaced in 2008 with a new wooden gate in the traditional style.
The Samurai Archives (has links to Google Maps).
Motomachi, located at the foot of the Yamate area, was established when the residents of Yokohama Village moved here at the time of the opening of the port. Zotokuin Temple was located at the end of the main street (present day Motomachi-Dori). The building in this photograph is the Yakushi-do next to the main hall. The Yakushi-do was later moved to the Horikawa Waterway from its original location and still stands there today.
Naosite
In 1859, soon after the opening of the port of Yokohama, extreme nationalists killed Russian marines Roman Mophet and Ivan Sokoloff. The bakufu bought farmland-adjoining Zotokuin for their tomb. This grave is the oldest known in the Foreign Cemetery. … The former Zotokuin Cemetery area defined at that time is now the area near the Meyer M.Lury Memorial Gate (Motomachi Gate), where the oldest tombs can be found. [Approximately here.] After the Great Kanto Earthquake, the Zotokuin Temple was relocated to Heiraku (Yokohama).

Rokkaku-dō Temple, Kyoto
4 April 2019 by Monissa
Rokkakudo, Kyoto —- 堂 角 六 都 京
The Rokkakudo (Chohoji) temple is said to have been founded by Shotoku Taishi (Prince Regent Shotoku). Successive generations of Ikenobo headmasters have served as head priests of this temple and the site is known as the "birthplace of ikebana."
Ikenobo: Rokkakudo Temple
According to legend, when Prince Shōtoku was a child on Awaji Island he found a small Chinese chest that had floated ashore. Opening the lid, the prince found a gold image about 5.5 cm long of the Nyoirin Kannon, which he decided to keep as a sacred Buddhist image or amulet. He prayed to the Kannon to bring him success, promising Kannon that he would build Shitenno-ji Temple (in the area of present Osaka) if he was successful.
In 587, Prince Shotoku decided to build the great temple of Shitennoj-i in Osaka. Searching for building materials, the prince journeyed out from Osaka. It was a hot day and the prince stopped by a pond to cool down. He took off his clothes and his precious amulet in order to bathe in the pond. He placed his clothes and the Nyoirin Kannon on a nearby tree. After his swim, he went to put on his clothes and put the Nyoirin Kannon back in his pocket. Suddenly the Kannon became too heavy to pick up and the prince was unable to continue. So the prince decided to spend the night there and await the morning.
During the night he dreamed that Nyoirin Kannon appeared to him saying, "With this amulet I have given you, I have protected many generations but now I wish to remain in this place. You must build a six sided temple and enshrine me within this temple. Many people will come here and be healed." So Prince Shotoku built the temple and enshrined Nyoirin Kannon within it.

Osaka Castle, Osaka
23 March 2019 by Monissa
The majestic castle-tower looked up in the sky, Osaka.
In 1583, Hideyoshi Toyotomi (1537-1598), a powerful feudal lord and warrior during the Sengoku period, built Osaka Castle during a period of unrest which had followed numerous wars over the previous decades. Obsessed with gold, Hideyoshi insisted that gold be applied to much of the castle's interior furnishing, with this motif also appearing on the exterior awnings to this day. Upon completion, Hideyoshi held the castle as a stronghold, which led to a secession of the wars that were raging in Japan at that time – essentially unifying the country and bringing temporary peace.
As history tends to prove, peace did not last forever, and numerous wars broke out over the coming centuries. Osaka Castle was destroyed and rebuilt numerous times, and not always by war – in 1665 the main castle tower was in fact destroyed by fire as a result of a lightning storm. After this period the castle stood for another 200 years, before again being destroyed during the Boshin War. The most recent (and hopefully permanent) iteration of Osaka Castle was reconstructed in 1928
Osaka Info
In 1583, Hideyoshi began construction at the former site of Honganji Temple and completed the magnificent castle, which was reputed as being unparalleled in the country. Hideyoshi, having employed the castle as his stronghold, succeeded in quelling the wars which had continued for more than one century, thereby unifying the entire nation. After Hideyoshi's death, Ieyasu Tokugawa, who worked for Hideyoshi as his chief retainer, was appointed to the Shogun and he established the shogunate (government) in Edo (Tokyo). In 1615, Ieyasu ruined the Toyotomi family and destroyed Osaka Castle (in the Summer War of Osaka). Thereafter, the Tokugawa shogunate reconstructed Osaka Castle. It held the castle under its direct control until 1868, when the Tokugawa shogunate lost power and the castle fell.
In 1931, the Main Tower of the Castle was reconstructed in the center of Osaka Castle, which was used as a military base, with funds raised by the citizens.
The present-day Main Tower is the third generation. It follows the Main Tower from the Toyotomi period, which was destroyed by fire during the Summer War, and the tower from the Tokugawa period, which was struck by lightning and was burned down.

Incline, Lake Biwa Canal, Kyoto, Japan
1 July 2019 13 March 2019 by Monissa
Keage Incline on Street View
Lake Biwa Canal is a waterway in Japan constructed during the Meiji Period to transport water, freight, and passengers from Lake Biwa to the nearby City of Kyoto. The canal supplied Japan's first public hydroelectric power generator, which served from 1895 to provide electricity for Kyoto's trams…Due to the 36 meter difference in elevation between the upstream dam and its terminus, an inclined plane was built, which allowed boats to travel on land via the use of a flat car on which they were placed. Operation of the 9 ft (2,743 mm) track gauge incline ceased in 1948.

Kohfukuji, Nara
10 February 2019 by Monissa
Pagoda of Kofukuji and Hananomatsu, Nara
松の花及塔重五寺福興良奈
Five-storied pagoda in the Kohfukuji Buddhist temple complex. Hananomatsu is the tree.
Kofukuji used to be the family temple of the Fujiwara, the most powerful aristocratic clan during much of the Nara and Heian Periods. The temple was established in Nara at the same time as the capital in 710. At the height of Fujiwara power, the temple consisted of over 150 buildings.
Nara was the capital of Japan from 710 to 784. During this period the framework of national government was consolidated and Nara enjoyed great prosperity, emerging as the fountainhead of Japanese culture.
Historic Monuments of Ancient Nara (UNESCO)
The Five-Story Pagoda, which was completely restored in 1426, is the second tallest pagoda in Japan at 50.1m, behind the 55m-tall pagoda at Toji Temple in Kyoto. The pagoda had burnt down no less than five times before the 15th century.
Japan Visitor
From the temple website:
History of Kohfukuji
In the eighth year of the reign of Emperor Tenji (669 CE), Kagami no Okimi, consort of the statesman Nakatomi (Fujiwara) no Kamatari, founded a Buddhist chapel on the family estate in Yamashina Suehara (in modern-day Kyoto Prefecture) to pray for Kamatari's recovery from illness. In this temple, which came to be known as Yamashinadera, Kagami no Okimi enshrined a Shaka triad (Sakyamuni, the historical Buddha, along with two attendant Bodhisattvas) that had originally been commissioned by Kamatari. In the wake of the relocation of the capital as a result of the Jinshin Rebellion of 672, the temple was disassembled and moved to Umayasaka in Nara prefecture, where it was re-erected and named Umayasakadera.
Shortly after the establishment of the Heijo Capital in 710, Yamashinadera relocated to its present location in what is now the city of Nara. The temple, now called Kohfukuji ("The Temple that Generates Blessings"), grew rapidly in size under the patronage of successive emperors and empresses, as well as continued support from members of the powerful Fujiwara family. Over time, it developed a particularly close connection with the "Northern House" of the Fujiwara clan, under whose sponsorship it accumulated sufficient wealth and power to rank as one of the "Four Great Temples" of the Nara Period (710-784) and one of the "Seven Great Temples" of the Heian Period (794-1180).
The Kohfukuji Temple Complex
THE FIVE-STORIED PAGODA
The five-storied pagoda was originally erected in 730 by Empress Komyo, the daughter of Kohfukuji's founding patron, Fujiwara no Fuhito. Over its long history, the building burned down a total of five times, with the current reconstruction dating to around the year 1426. At a total height of 50.1 meters, it is the second tallest wooden pagoda in Japan today. Famous for its deep eaves, the structure successfully blends references to Nara-period architecture with the dynamic architectural style of the medieval period. The original Nara-period building is thought to have risen to a height of around 45 meters, making it the tallest man-made structure in Japan at the time.
The Kohfukuji Temple Complex: the Five Storied Pagoda
Hananomatsu
On the stone monument is written "Monument of Hananomatsu".
Actually, there was a pine tree in front of the Tokondo hall.
It was called Hananomatsu.
It is said that the pine trees were planted by Kobo Daishi.
Kobo Daishi is the posthumous name of the priest called Kukai about 1,200 years ago.
Kukai is the one who opened a new sect of Buddhism called Shingon sect.
For this reason, he has a name that respects Kobo Daishi.
The pine grew big, but it withered in 1937.
In 1940, successor pine was planted.
But that pine withered in 2008.
Thereafter, pines have not been planted there.

Meiji Shrine, Tokyo

門 神 南 (神宫治明)
(That last part seems to be written backwards? I don't know Japanese. My best guess is:)
South/Minami Gate (Meiji Jingu)
Google Maps.
After the emperor's death in 1912, the Japanese Diet passed a resolution to commemorate his role in the Meiji Restoration. An iris garden in an area of Tokyo where Emperor Meiji and Empress Shōken had been known to visit was chosen as the building's location.
Construction began in 1915 under Itō Chūta, and the shrine was built in the traditional nagare-zukuri style, using primarily Japanese cypress and copper. The building of the shrine was a national project, mobilizing youth groups and other civic associations from throughout Japan, who contributed labor and funding. It was formally dedicated in 1920, completed in 1921, and its grounds officially finished by 1926.
The original building was destroyed during the Tokyo air raids of World War II.

Dash Core version 0.14.0.4
==========================

Release is now available from:

  <https://www.dash.org/downloads/#wallets>

This is a new minor version release, bringing various bugfixes and improvements.

Please report bugs using the issue tracker at github:

  <https://github.com/dashpay/dash/issues>

Upgrading and downgrading
=========================

How to Upgrade
--------------

If you are running an older version, shut it down. Wait until it has completely
shut down (which might take a few minutes for older versions), then run the
installer (on Windows) or just copy over /Applications/Dash-Qt (on Mac) or
dashd/dash-qt (on Linux). If you upgrade after DIP0003 activation and you were
using version < 0.13 you will have to reindex (start with -reindex-chainstate
or -reindex) to make sure your wallet has all the new data synced. Upgrading from
version 0.13 should not require any additional actions.

When upgrading from a version prior to 0.14.0.3, the
first startup of Dash Core will run a migration process which can take a few minutes
to finish. After the migration, a downgrade to an older version is only possible with
a reindex (or reindex-chainstate).

Downgrade warning
-----------------

### Downgrade to a version < 0.14.0.3

Downgrading to a version smaller than 0.14.0.3 is not supported anymore due to changes
in the "evodb" database format. If you need to use an older version, you have to perform
a reindex or re-sync the whole chain.

Notable changes
===============

Fix respends of freshly received InstantSend transactions
---------------------------------------------------------

A bug in Dash Core caused respends to not work before a received InstantSend transaction was confirmed in at least
one block. This is fixed in this release, so that InstantSend locked mempool transactions can be
respent immediately in Dash Core (other wallets were not affected).

Deprecation of SPORK_16_INSTANTSEND_AUTOLOCKS
---------------------------------------------

With the activation of SPORK_20_INSTANTSEND_LLMQ_BASED a few month ago, all transactions started to be locked via
InstantSend, which already partly deprecated SPORK_16_INSTANTSEND_AUTOLOCKS. This release removes the last use
of SPORK_16_INSTANTSEND_AUTOLOCKS, which caused InstantSend to stop working when the mempool got too large.

Improve orphan transaction limit handling
-----------------------------------------

Instead of limiting orphan transaction by number of transaction, we limit orphans by total size in bytes
now. This allows to have thousands of orphan transactions before hitting the limit.

Discrepancies in orphan sets between nodes and handling of those was one of the major limiting factors in
the stress tests performed by an unknown entity on mainnet.

Improve re-requesting for already known transactions
----------------------------------------------------

Previously, Dash would re-request old transactions even though they were already known locally. This
happened when the outputs were respent very shortly after confirmation of the transaction. This lead to
wrongly handling these transactions as orphans, filling up the orphan set and hitting limits very fast.
This release fixes this for nodes which have txindex enabled, which is the case for all masternodes. Normal
nodes (without txindex) can ignore the issue as they are not involved in active InstantSend locking.

Another issue fixed in this release is the re-requesting of transactions after an InstantSend lock invalidated
a conflicting transaction.

Multiple improvements to PrivateSend
------------------------------------

Multiple improvements to PrivateSend are introduced in this release, leading to faster mixing and more
reasonable selection of UTXOs when sending PrivateSend funds.

Fix for CVE-2017-18350
----------------------

Bitcoin silently implemented a hidden fix for [CVE-2017-18350](https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/2019-November/017453.html).
in Bitcoin v0.15.1. This release of Dash Core includes a backport of this fix.

JBT will highlight technological innovations designed to get fruits and vegetables from producer to retailer in the best possible condition, as part of its participation in Fruit Logistica 2017, the world's largest trade exhibition for the fresh produce sector.
At JBT's third consecutive appearance at the event, which takes place in Berlin, Germany from 8-10 February, the company will focus on fresh produce technologies, as well as showcasing labeling and fruit processing systems.
JBT's participation in the latest edition of Fruit Logistica follows two years of steady progress in the global fresh produce sector for the company, including expansion into new markets and the signing of a major deal in the US.
JBT will also once again be highlighting partner Laser Food's groundbreaking Laser Mark labeling system for fresh fruits and vegetables, which was recently featured in the UK's Guardian newspaper. The technology is set to be used by Swedish supermarket operator ICA – in conjunction with organic fresh produce specialist Eosta – to laser label organic avocados and sweet potatoes.
JBT will be exhibiting at Hall 6.1, B-02 at Fruit Logistica 2017, which takes place at Berlin ExpoCenter City (Messe Berlin) from 8-10 February 2017.

Netherlands: 30% ruling shortened to five years as of 1 January 2019
Overview of the resulted transitional law
The 30% ruling is a specific tax regime for foreign employees that meet certain criteria and who are temporarily assigned to, or hired from abroad by an employer in the Netherlands. When meeting certain requirements, 30% of the employee's salary can be paid out as a tax-free allowance to cover extraterritorial costs. In addition, the employee may, at his/her request, benefit from a tax treatment as a non-resident taxpayer regarding income from a substantial interest and income from savings and investments.
In 2017 the effectiveness of the 30% ruling was evaluated and the results were published in a report. Although the 30% ruling was found to be both effective and efficient, several suggestions were included in the report to make the ruling more effective.
Mid-2018, the government announced that it would adopt the recommendation to shorten the period for which the 30% ruling is granted from eight years to five years as of 1 January 2019. It is important to note that initially this change would also apply to existing 30% rulings. Which meant that 30% rulings that were in place for longer than five years on 1 January 2019 would immediately end per that date. The aforementioned led to an ongoing debate and many expats felt mistreated. In the end this has resulted in the following transitional law:
Individuals who have had the 30% ruling for five years or longer in 2019 or 2020: the transitional law applies for two years. The ruling will end ultimately on 31 December 2020.
Individuals who have not had the 30% ruling for five years in 2019 or 2020: the transitional law applies up to 31 December 2020. The end date of their ruling will in principle be reduced by three years.
Schematically this looks like this:
The employee has a ruling with an end date in 2019 or 2020: The ruling will end of the end date mentioned on the dicision issued by the Dutch tax authorites.
The employee has a ruling with an end date in 2021, 2022 or 2013: The ruling will end on 31 December 2020.
The employee has a ruling with an end date in 2024 or following years: The duration of the ruling will be reduced by three years.
Due to the shortened duration of the ruling, the period during which the employee may opt to be treated as a partial non-resident tax payer will also be shortened from eight to five years. The employer is responsible to ensure that the ruling is correctly applied in payroll. Therefore, we recommend that employers verify internally the applicable 30% rulings and the correct end date of the rulings based on the transitional law applicable and instruct payroll in this respect.

Literature Analysis This analysis focuses on the Peppered Moth and the primary literature artiicle to be analysed is "The industrial melanism mutation in British peppered moths is a transposable element" 2016, Nature, 534, pp102-105. The task is outlined below. ask Write one paragraph that explains how the concepts of adaptation and natural selection apply to the pocket mouse and peppered moth studies. Refer to Evolution 101 for background information about these concepts. (3 marks) For Figures 1 and 3, answer the following questions: (8 marks) The specific hypothesis being tested, or specific question being asked in the experiment represented here is: What data was used to generate this figure? (For example: What was measured? What is being compared? What has been analysed? What observations have been made? What are the controls?) Overall, what we learn from this figure is... The following two issues are of concern to me: (these can be things you don't understand, criticisms of the method, questions for the authors, or anything else that comes to mind). Explain your concerns - you must give reasons why you have chosen these issues - and then write each of your two issues as a question. Examine your four questions arising from Figures 1 and 3 and use one of them to suggest an avenue of further study that would extend the findings of this paper. State your idea as a hypothesis and explain why you think it is significant. (2 marks) Explain the aim of Figure 2 in non-technical language. What data has been used to generate this figure? What is the main conclusion? What uncertainty is associated with this result? Explain the time gap between the appearance of the mutation, as indicated in Figure 2, and the first sighting of dark coloured moths. (3 marks) Although both the pocket mouse and the peppered moth have adapted to a changing environment with a change of colour, the molecular mechanisms and population histories are quite different. Briefly describe some of the differences. (2 marks) Find the peppered moth paper on Google Scholar. Click on the "cited by" link to see all papers that have cited the peppered moth paper since it was published. By looking at the titles only, do you think there have been any significant developments in the study of the peppered moth since 2016? Explain how you have come to this conclusion.

Western Sydney Health Check
Suicide prevention is everyone's business
November 05, 2020 Western Sydney Local Health District staff
Western Sydney Local Health District staff
Eight Australians die by suicide every day.
More than twice as many Australians die by suicide each year than in car crashes.
For every person who dies by suicide an additional 30 will try to take their life.
This is the confronting reality that inspires the Towards Zero Suicides (TZS) project, a NSW Premier's priority initiative to reduce the rate of suicide deaths in NSW by 20 per cent by 2023.
Driving that work within Western Sydney Local Health District is Rowena Saheb, the TZS mental health project officer who joins us on the latest episode of Western Sydney Health Check.
Rowena is also a national R U OK? ambassador who uses her own lived experience of suicide to inform her work and advocate for change in Western Sydney.
In this episode, Rowena talks about the three main suicide prevention projects underway in WSLHD, and offers advice on how we can all become community champions using the R U OK? conversation starter tips.
If this story or the podcast raises any issues for you, you can call Lifeline for free personal support at any time on 13 11 14.
To find out more about the mental health services available for you or someone else in need, call the Mental Health Line at any time on 1800 011 511.
In an emergency, please call triple zero (000) immediately or go to a hospital emergency department.

text:
Sweeney Todd is a fictional character who first appeared as the villain of the penny dreadful serial The String of Pearls (1846–47).  The original tale became a feature of 19th-century melodrama and London legend. A barber from Fleet Street, Todd murders his customers with a straight razor and gives their corpses to Mrs. Lovett, his partner in crime, who bakes their flesh into meat pies. The tale has been retold many times since in various media.

Claims that Sweeney Todd was a historical person are disputed strongly by scholars, although possible legendary prototypes exist.

Plot synopsis

For the original version of the tale, Todd is a barber who kills his victims by pulling a lever as they sit in his barber chair. His victims fall backward through a revolving trap door into the basement of his shop, generally causing them to break their necks or skulls. In case they are alive, Todd goes to the basement and "polishes them off" (slitting their throats with his straight razor). In some adaptations, the murdering process is reversed, with Todd slitting his customers' throats before dispatching them into the basement through the revolving trap door. After Todd has robbed his dead victims of their goods, Mrs. Lovett, his partner in crime (in some later versions, his friend and/or lover), assists him in disposing of the bodies by baking their flesh into meat pies and selling them to the unsuspecting customers of her pie shop. Todd's barber shop is situated at 186 Fleet Street, London, next to St. Dunstan's church, and is connected to Mrs. Lovett's pie shop in nearby Bell Yard by means of an underground passage. In most versions of the story, he and Mrs. Lovett hire an unwitting orphan boy, Tobias Ragg, to serve the pies to customers.

Literary history
Sweeney Todd first appeared in a story titled The String of Pearls: A Romance. This penny dreadful was published in 18 weekly parts, in Edward Lloyd's magazine The People's Periodical and Family Library, issues 7–24, published 21 November 1846 to 20 March 1847. It was probably written by James Malcolm Rymer, though Thomas Peckett Prest has also been credited with it; possibly each worked on the serial from part to part. Other attributions include Edward P. Hingston, George Macfarren, and Albert Richard Smith. During February/March 1847, before the serial was even completed, George Dibdin Pitt adapted The String of Pearls as a melodrama for the Britannia Theatre in Hoxton, east London. It was in this alternative version of the tale, rather than the original, that Todd acquired his catchphrase: "I'll polish him off".

Lloyd published another, lengthier, penny part serial during 1847–1848, with 92 episodes. It was then published in book form in 1850 as The String of Pearls, subtitled "The Barber of Fleet Street. A Domestic Romance". This expanded version of the story was 732 pages long. A plagiarised version of this book appeared in the United States c. 1852–1853 as Sweeney Todd: or the Ruffian Barber. A Tale of Terror of the Seas and the Mysteries of the City by "Captain Merry" (a pseudonym used by American author Harry Hazel, 1814–1889).

In 1865, the French novelist Paul H.C. Féval (1816–1887), famous as a writer of horror and crime novels and short stories, referred to what he termed "L'Affaire de la Rue des Marmousets" in the introductory chapter to his book La Vampire.

In 1875, Frederick Hazleton's c. 1865 dramatic adaptation Sweeney Todd, the Barber of Fleet Street: or the String of Pearls (see below) was published as volume 102 of Lacy's Acting Edition of Plays.

A scholarly, annotated edition of the original 1846–1847 serial was published in volume form in 2007 by the Oxford University Press with the title of Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, edited by Robert Mack.

Alleged historical basis
The original story of Sweeney Todd is from an older legend that may contain motifs from even earlier stories. Possibly the oldest reference to the story in its present form is found in the diary of the Swedish traveller Pehr Lindeström. In his diary, dating from the middle of the 17th century, the story is set in Calais, which is also where the author heard the story. The story includes all the details of the legend, except for the name of the character himself. In Charles Dickens' Pickwick Papers (1836–1837), the servant Sam Weller says that a pieman used cats "for beefsteak, veal, and kidney, 'cording to the demand", and recommends that people should buy pies only "when you know the lady as made it, and is quite sure it ain't kitten." Dickens then developed this in Martin Chuzzlewit (1843–1844), published two years before the appearance of Sweeney Todd in The String of Pearls (1846–1847), with a character named Tom Pinch who is grateful that his own "evil genius did not lead him into the dens of any of those preparers of cannibalic pastry, who are represented in many country legends as doing a lively retail business in the metropolis".

Claims that Sweeney Todd was a real person were first made in the introduction to the 1850 (expanded) edition of The String of Pearls and have persisted to the present. In two books, Peter Haining argued that Sweeney Todd was a historical person who committed his crimes around 1800. Nevertheless, other researchers who have tried to verify his citations do not find anything in these sources to verify Haining's claims.

In literature
A late (1890s) reference to the legend of the murderous barber can be found in the poem by the Australian bush poet Banjo Paterson, "The Man from Ironbark".

In his 2012 novel Dodger, Terry Pratchett portrays Sweeney Todd as a tragic character, having lost his mind after being exposed to the horrors of the Napoleonic Wars as a barber surgeon.

In performing arts

In stage productions
 The String of Pearls (1847), a melodrama by George Dibdin Pitt that opened at Hoxton's Britannia Theatre and billed as "founded on fact". It was something of a success, and the story spread by word of mouth and acquired legendary characteristics. Various versions of the tale were staples of the British theatre for the rest of the century. The play was produced on Broadway during 1924 at the Frazee Theatre, featuring Robert Vivian as Sweeney Todd and Rafaela Ottiano as Mrs. Lovett.
 Sweeney Todd, the Barber of Fleet Street: or the String of Pearls (c. 1865), a dramatic adaptation written by Frederick Hazleton which premiered at the Old Bower Saloon, Stangate Street, Lambeth.
 Sweeney Todd (1962), a four-act melodrama adapted from The String of Pearls by Brian J Burton who also composed new songs and lyrics. It was first performed at the Crescent Theatre, Birmingham.

 Sweeney Todd, The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (1973), a play by the British playwright Christopher Bond. This version of the story was the first to give Todd a slightly more sympathetic motive: he is Benjamin Barker, a barber convicted wrongfully who after 15 years in an Australian penal colony escapes and returns to London using the new name Sweeney Todd, only to find that Judge Turpin, who is responsible for his conviction, has raped his young wife and adopted his daughter. He at first plans to kill Turpin, but when his prey escapes, he swears vengeance on humanity in general and begins to slash his customers' throats. He goes into business with Mrs. Lovett, his former landlady, who bakes his victims' flesh into pies. At the end of the play, he finally gets his revenge by killing Turpin, but then unknowingly kills his own wife, who Mrs. Lovett had misled him into believing had died. After learning the truth, he kills Mrs. Lovett, but is in turn killed by Mrs. Lovett's assistant and surrogate son Tobias Ragg, who slits Todd's throat with his own razor.
 Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. A Musical Thriller (1979), is a musical adaptation of Bond's play by Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler. The show began on Broadway in 1979 and in London's West End in 1980. The show won multiple awards including the Tony Award for Best Musical and the Laurence Olivier Award for Best New Musical. There have since been several revivals in the West End, on Broadway and elsewhere.

Tommy La Stella is officially back. The left-handed hitting second baseman, who has been on the Injured List all season, was activated by the San Francisco Giants on Monday, ahead of their series against the Colorado Rockies. The Giants are facing right-handed pitchers in the first two games of the series, and La Stella jumps straight into the lineup as the designated hitter for Monday's opener.

To make room for La Stella on the 26-player active roster, the Giants are reportedly optioning outfielder Luis González to AAA Sacramento. This comes a day after González pitched 1.1 scoreless innings in the Giants blowout loss to the St. Louis Cardinals, and hit a home run off of fellow position player Albert Pujols.
Tough league.
Sources: The San Francisco Giants are optioning outfielder Luis Gonzalez to Triple-A Sacramento. In 21 games, he's hitting .349/.397/.492 with a .889 OPS, and just hit a three-run homer off Albert Pujols last night.

González has been exceptional in the batter's box for the Giants this year, sporting a 153 wRC+, though he's been a bit tough to watch in the outfield. It's a big loss for the Giants to have to temporarily say goodbye to him, but unless they wanted to roll with only 12 pitchers for a while, it was the only reasonable choice (Mike Yastrzemski, Austin Slater, and Joey Bart are the only other position players with options, and they weren't going anywhere).
But it will be nice for the Giants to have La Stella back, and have another left-handed hitting option in the infield. He had an excellent rehab stint in AAA Sacramento, hitting .310/.429/.586 with two home runs in 35 plate appearances, and more walks (five) than strikeouts (four).


Beat Frequency began when Natasha Neuschwander and Shawn Lewis first met and their passion for music collided. For over 12 years, Shawn, a multi-instrumental former front-man for a touring rock band and Natasha, a studio vocalist and professional sports dancer have been collaborating on Beat Frequency's sound. In that time, their club-inspired, aggressive, hook-driven pop songs and performances have been creating fans all over the Portland, Oregon and SW Washington areas.
Married in 2004, Shawn and Natasha have always lived and breathed music. As a duo, they've shared the stage over 1000 times in pursuit of their dreams and have no intention of slowing down. In 2011, they made it to the producer-phase of auditions for America's Got Talent where they decided on the name 'Beat Frequency' as well as the bootcamp phase of X-Factor's inaugural season in the US. With 'Yeses' from Simon, Paula and Nicole, Beat Frequency took their first trip to LA to compete on the national stage as a duo.
In early 2012, following elimination from X-Factor, Beat Frequency were selected to audition for NBC's The Voice Season 3. They were the only duo to be included on Team Christina and were praised by both Adam and Cee-Lo as 'The best duo we've had on the show so far'. After they're loss to Laura Vivas in the battle round, they came home with a renewed fire to write and record.
Nearly 3 years of off-and-on studio production and songwriting have led to Beat Frequency's album: 'Electrify', an aggressive, rock-infused, danceable pop endeavor. Universal themes like staying true to yourself, never-letting go of your dreams and enjoying the moment set the lyrical tone for songs like 'On Our Way', 'Keep Dreaming' and 'Dance For Your Life'. 'Electrify' by Beat Frequency is available on iTunes.
Adelaide four-piece Lowrider make an emphatic return with "Days of Boredom", a gritty, confronting piece of alternative-soul that serves the first taste of their upcoming LP "Black Stones". Recorded over the past year between Red Bull's Studios in Los Angeles and Chapel Lane Studios in Adelaide, "Black Stones", the bands third studio album, is set for release on Friday 15th February 2013 through Illusive.
Without judgment or pretension, but perhaps a little frustration, "Days of Boredom" touches on modern life's obsession with technology and social media over a catchy key riff, rolling basslines and a dense wall of crashing drums. It sets the tone for "Black Stones", a stripped back and no nonsense approach from the band, showing distinct sonic progression from their previous material.
To celebrate, Lowrider play a sold out, intimate one-off show at Higher Ground in their hometown of Adelaide this coming Saturday, December 1st. It will be the first chance their fans have to experience their new material before the band jet out on a national tour in early 2013.
In addition to the new single, album and show announcement, Lowrider and Red Bull have partnered to release four behind-the-scenes videos (each Tuesday for the next month) showcasing their time at the Los Angeles Red Bull Studio and this year's SXSW Festival in Austin, Texas, exclusively on Red Bull Australia's website.
Lowrider - "Days of Boredom" on iTunes now.
With impossibly smooth, effortless vocals juxtaposed with an honest, gritty ensemble of beats, bass and keys, Lowrider create an immaculate fusion of soul, funk and contemporary pop music which truly transcends time. Lowrider are a collective, a real band and an indication that musicians still get in a room and jam even in the digital era.

Europeans should control their B2B data, says EU commissioner
Thierry Breton did not give details on how this might be achieved in an interview with the financial daily Les Echos published on Tuesday. But his remarks after one month in the job shed light on the direction he wants to pursue.
"It is true that for the current generation of services based on personal data, the United States and China are ahead of Europe," Breton said.
He said platforms in those markets had benefited from huge internal markets while hovering up data from elsewhere by means that were now being scrutinised.
"Let us focus on the second phase which is beginning now, that of B-to-B (business-to-business) and do so with a clear principle in mind: that European should be the owners of their data, and this data should be handled in Europe."
The EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) which took effect in May 2018 is designed to protect the privacy rights of EU individuals but also applies to all companies processing or controlling the personal information of EU residents, regardless of where those firms are located.

TPPF Announces Jerome Greener to Lead Engagement Team
The Texas Public Policy Foundation announced Jerome Greener will be joining the organization to head up its statewide and national activist engagement efforts for the foundation's various policy issue campaigns. As Vice President for Engagement, Greener joins TPPF bringing his experience from leading the Americans for Prosperity – TX team over the last several years. His new role includes further strengthening TPPF's partnerships with allies, serving and coordinating with the activist community on priority legislative agenda items, and facilitating outreach to key communities in the new conservative working-class coalition.
"TPPF exists to provide essential information for Texans to engage with their lawmakers at the local, state, and federal level," said TPPF Executive Director Kevin Roberts. "Civic engagement, codified in our country's Declaration of Independence and Constitution, is the bedrock for maintaining, and at times restoring, a limited and responsible government. Jerome's experience in this realm will expand our already extremely talented team so that we can continue to serve our activist communities across our great state."
"Texas has a proud and vibrant tradition of civil engagement that ensures transparency and accountability in government," said Greener. "I look forward to doing everything we can to lift up the voices of Texans to make sure our officials at every level are serving the people first."
