Coronavirus: Number of renters in arrears doubles, says charity
Politics July 6, 2020
The number of private tenants in England who have fallen behind on rent has doubled during the coronavirus pandemic, new research suggests.
Polling for housing charity Shelter estimated 226,785 are now in arrears despite having been up to date in March, out of a total of 442,403.
It said the figures showed the need for action before a ban on new evictions ends next month.
The government said those hit hardest would get "appropriate protection".
A ban on new evictions of social or private tenants in England and Wales has been extended for two months and is currently due to end on 23 August.
But the charity Shelter is warning that the winding down of the government's furlough scheme could leave people even more exposed to eviction if they lose their jobs.
Covid costs hit private renters hard, says report
Coronavirus ban on evicting renters extended
People facing eviction threats 'should stay put'
A Shelter poll of 1,058 private renters in England conducted by YouGov estimated 442,403 of the country's 8.7m renters – roughly 5% – were in arrears in early June.
Of them, 226,785 said they were up to date with payments in March, before the height of the pandemic.
Of those who had contact with their landlord or letting agent since March, around 6% of those surveyed said they had been threatened with eviction.
Around a third of respondents said they feel more depressed and anxious about their housing situation, with 30% also experiencing sleepless nights.
Law change urged
The charity's chief executive Polly Neate said thousands of renters were at risk of homelessness unless the government changed the law on evictions.
"We know people have been doing whatever they can to pay their rent and keep their home safe," she said.
"Despite this, the minute the evictions ban lifts, the 230,000 already behind with their rent could be up for automatic eviction if they've built up eight weeks-worth of arrears," she added.
She called on ministers to make "small changes" to eviction law to ensure no renter is automatically evicted, and the impact of Covid-19 is "always considered".
The Scottish government has amended legislation to prevent new evictions for up to six months for those struggling with arrears.
In Northern Ireland, a requirement for a 12 week notice to quit period for all tenancies became law in May.
Responding to Shelter's polling, Labour said emergency legislation was needed to protect renters from eviction.
Shadow housing secretary Thangam Debbonaire said: "The government seems to be more interested in protecting landlords' incomes than preventing families from losing their homes in the middle of a deadly pandemic.
"Rough sleeping had more than doubled under the Tories before coronavirus.
"If we go back to business as usual, many thousands of people will find themselves sleeping on the streets this winter."
'Appropriate protection'
The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government said it had taken "unprecedented action to support renters during the pandemic".
"We have introduced the furlough scheme to protect jobs, provided over £6.5bn to strengthen the welfare safety-net," a spokesperson said.
They added the government had also made the housing benefit system more generous by increasing it to cover 30% of the average market rent in each area.
"We're working with the judiciary to provide appropriate protection to those who have been particularly affected by coronavirus when proceedings start again."

With recent comments made by Madonna, should the Feds hold Hollywood figures to the same standards as everyone else and seek potentially criminal charges?
February 20, 2017 ~ thinkingoutsidetheboxe
Owatonna, MN Correspondent– After listening and watching Madonna's entire speech at the recent Women's March on Washington, I came away from it thinking the speech was lackluster and devoid of real passion or intensity. Yes, she did drop a few F-bombs and said she'd thought about "blowing up the White House." Other than that, it could have been a generic speech from almost any member of any minority that has been oppressed in one way or another.
Since the First Amendment to the Constitution explicitly protects free speech of any sort, Madonna's speech barely makes it to the halfway point on my spectrum of what constitutes speech that merits concern. Even if someone yells "fire" in a crowded theater, the act of yelling "fire" is only a criminal act if the patrons stampede for the exits and someone is injured. Then the speaker should be charged with a crime because he caused someone else to be harmed.
Yes, Madonna thought aloud about blowing up the White House, but realistically, she'll never be able to do that, nor will anyone who heard her words and takes it upon themselves to try. If that ever came to happen, and the perpetrator(s) specifically cite Madonna's words as their motivation to commit the crime, then, by all means, arrest Madonna and charge her with the appropriate crime.
Besides, blowing up the White House is not even a new thought. The fourth airplane in the September 2001 terrorist attacks was destined for the White House and/or the Capitol before the passengers of that flight subdued the terrorists and crashed in Pennsylvania. It is far more likely that any one of a million foreign terrorists will attack the White House before Madonna or one of her fans makes an attempt.
I saw Madonna's words as metaphorically inciting listeners to political action rather than urging them to violence. They don't warrant criminal charges. The real crime is that people whose only credentials for being given a national stage with which to express their political opinions are mostly vacuous celebrities of one sort or another. Madonna probably views those moments in the spotlight more as free publicity and ego-stroking than she considers them an attempt at meaningful political debate.
Prescott Valley, AZ Correspondent– The comments made by Madonna and other celebrities who parrot the same malicious and dangerous comments in the public square do need to be held to the same standards as everyone else and criminal charges should be brought on those that are inciting crimes against the presidency and the United States.
Hollywood has made a practice of expressing itself through any means possible. It can be Twitter, facebook and other social media, or they make other insidious remarks through statements and threats at public events, like women's marches and awards programs. They make other snide comments through other Hollywood figures, like Michael Moore, Robert DeNiro, Meryl Steep, and other types-singers, models and reality television celebrities.
They love to spew their nonsense to newspapers, tabloids and magazines and on radio or television programs as well as through their own websites. Awards ceremonies have been their sounding board for some time, but they have ramped up that rhetoric from the award podiums, even more so since Donald Trump won the presidency.
The elites of Hollywood will do whatever they can to destroy the Trump presidency along with their team of Democrat co-conspirators in the halls of Congress, and the dregs of paid dissidents and rioters on the streets, on the sidewalks and in the airports of America. They are simply regurgitating and parroting the same false and slanderous messages of Hollywood and the liberal Democrats.
Hollywood has proven itself to be a dangerous breeding ground for all things perverse, liberal and hash tag mania "never this or that." They want to incite people on the left to do their bidding for them through further disruption of the Trump administration and its plans to set the country back on course after eight years of progressive thought, actions and unconstitutional lawmaking, which Hollywood celebrates, admires and venerates.
Hollywood is just as angry about the outcome of the 2016 election as their legions of liberal leftwing followers, and they and are seeking their brand of justice in any way they can. Hollywood has made itself one of the outlandish spokespersons for not only the Democrat Party, the liberal loons who follow them and anyone misled enough to buy into their message. The left is in full attack mode and Hollywood is playing its part in the overall plan.
Hollywood turncoats have no understanding of the country and they still refuse to acknowledge or understand why Donald Trump is the president. Their refusal to accept reality has given place to manipulation, threats, and outright damaging and dangerous statements that threaten the presidency and the American people.
Until Hollywood and the left come to grips with reality and accept the inevitable of the Trump presidency, and abide by the law of the land, they are highly susceptible to being charged with criminal intent and other crimes against the president and the country. They need to be punished for their actions, like any other citizen would be. Making them accountable for their actions may be one of the few ways to finally make Hollywood aware of the errors of their ways, but that is hard to say with personalities that really have no concept of what America is about other than in their own distorted viewpoints.
When you are clueless in Hollywood, there is little hope for rehabilitation. Maybe as the Trump presidency moves along, they'll calm down, but Hollywood will still be crafting the story lines, writing the scripts and manipulating the endings, just like they are trying to do with the Trump presidency. The problem is they just can't get the story right. Maybe some serious convictions and jail time will persuade them to fabricate another script.
Gastonia, NC Correspondent– While I would dearly love to see Ms. Ciccone (or whatever her last name is this week) brought up on federal charges, that would be exactly the sort of action she and her trashcan lid-beating ilk would feed on to whip their followers into a frenzy. Law enforcement authorities are allowed a certain degree of discretion. If the brain-melted alcoholic pushing a shopping cart in the park starts yelling that he wants Trump dead, he'll most likely be told to leave the park or ignored. If a known militia member starts circulating White House blueprints and mumbling about how he's mapped out entry points, he's going to get a visit from some large men in dark suits taking him to a hole in the ground.
Since Madonna has every bit as much credibility and intellectual heft as Stumbling Lenny, I say we treat her as such. However, perhaps she can be banned from performing in any venue which receives any sort of government funding. I'm sure just about every arena in the country is tapped into the federal money pipeline in some obscure way. Surely some of those smart fellows in the GAO or OMB can find a lever to use to narrow her choice of arenas so much that she'll end up trying to get Lenny out of the way so her crew can set up her busking spot.
This woman has lived her life courting and engendering controversy in various forms. Her minimal artistic talents wouldn't have survived this far if she didn't have a talent for pot-stirring that keeps her name in the tabloids whenever she chooses to put it there. Don't arrest her … just ignore her and find subtle ways to make it more difficult for her to spread her hateful messages around. That's the best punishment of all.
Sheffield, Jamaica Correspondent– I am sick and tired of having to deal with these people – stupid people. My goodness, they are everywhere! Not only am I forced to encounter them on the daily, but crap, even when I turn on my TV they are there too. In fact, what this person did on TV topped it all. Yes, Madonna said she felt like blowing up the White House. What the hell?????!!!
Yes, Madonna says she's "angry", and in her frustration, she said she felt like blowing up the White House. Hahahha! From what've heard, the Feds are looking into it, and rightly so. These Hollywood figures should feel the wrath of the law and be treated as a normal person would have been treated. In fact, I agree with what Wendy Williams said on her show. She mentioned that if it was someone black, their ass would be grass! That's true, the entire American society would be disgracing the black community.
Madonna and any other public figure, or the common man, should be investigated if they made an announcement of that nature. No one is too rich or poor to commit an atrocity. These ones should be investigated and charged criminally if warranted. I am sick and tired of this nonsense. If I could crawl away into a cave and hide, I would but then the media would probably find me and I'd become a famous cave woman. Make an example and show Madonna that what she did is DEFINITELY not ok.

Q: What is the type of "char board[N][N]"? If i will declare array in the following way:
#define N 10

char board[N][N]

And I want to write function void read_input(...) that will get the array board, what I need to write instead ... ?
I don't sure what it's need to be (maybey char** or char[N][N]? or else something?)

A: Since the array size is a compile time constant, you can denote the array with that size when it is passed to your function.
void read_input(char board[N][N])
{
   ...
}

read_input(board);

The 2013-2014 season for the Syracuse Crunch American Hockey League (AHL) team came to a close last weekend as they defeated the Hamilton Bulldogs in the FirstOntario Centre in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada by the score of 3 to 1. Jonathan Marchessault, number 18 for the Crunch, scored the last goal of the season at the 14:27 mark of the third period.

The FirstOntario Centre, where the Hamilton Bulldogs play, is a mini-NHL arena complete with ribbon lights which ring the arena and a projection system. Over 7,400 fans attended and were in full voice for the Canadian National Anthem (top photo). Those fans are protected by tempered glass which I had only seen in NHL arenas (bottom left). Being Fan Appreciation Night, the Bulldogs promotions announcer was busy at every media play stoppage (bottom middle).

After the game ended, the Syracuse Crunch team came out to congratulate goalie Cedrick Desjardins (30) on the victory. They lingered on the ice for an unusual length of time for a visiting team. Perhaps because they knew it was the last time this group would play together. Like most professional teams, a large portion of the players will be making decisions on where to play next season. Some will not be asked back by the Crunch or their National Hockey League affiliate, Tampa Bay Lightning, and will seek to play for other teams. Some will move on because they feel they will have a better chance of playing with another organization. Either way, I wish them all the best.

2 Equal Pay Legislation

4 Reconciliation of Family Life and Work
Gender Pay Gap in Sweden
The gender pay gap lies at 12.6 per cent (2018) in Sweden and is on constant decline since 2007 when the gap was still at 17.8 per cent (Eurostat: Gender Gap Gap in Unadjusted Form)
Generally speaking, Sweden is one of the most gender-egalitarian countries in the world ranking fourth behind Iceland, Finland and Norway - according to the The Global Gender Gap Report 2020. In essence, gender mainstreaming has been implemented in all policy fields, among them education or foreign policy.
Equal Pay Legislation
In 2009, the Discrimination Act has been adopted. This act requires all organisations with more than 25 employees to map wages every three years. This mapping not noly includes an analysis of wage structures, but encompasses also a detailed action plan to promote gender equality within the organisation. Furthermore, in case of discrimination, the employer is obliged to investigate and take measures against the form of discrimination.
In addition, job evaluation should be free from gender bias. In order to realise this approach, four criteria are used to evaluate jobs: knowledge and experience, degree of effort, responsibility and working conditions. Additional factors can also be taken into account, such as physical and mental stress, competence and degree of independence, planning and decision making.
Between 2006 and 2008, the Equlity Ombudsman analysed the approx. 600 companies - covering around 20 per cent of all employees in Sweden - with regard to paying women and men equally. The Ombudsman found significant deficits leading to salary adjustments for 5.200 to 5.800 employees at a cost of around 8 mil. Euros. In 2012, a follow-up analysis has been conducted. In this regard, fines for companies not complying to the equal pay priciple has been put on the agenda.
Sweden has one of the longest periods of parental leave. In total, parents in Sweden are entitled to 480 days of paid parental leave, of which 80 days are reserved for paternal leave that cannot be transferred.
Reconciliation of Family Life and Work
Gender equality is among the high priorities in Sweden. To this end, Sweden has built a large caring infrastructures for child care and schooling. In addition, monthly allowences are transferred to parents for each child to support their efforts caring for their child.

Internship is a valuable recruitment channel for an employer. The employer will receive valuable work input as well as information about education content and quality. Internship plays a major role in the development of students' expertise and working life skills. In internship, students may acquaint themselves with work tasks in their own field under expert supervision and it clarifies their career plans while supporting study motivation. It is also worthwhile remembering students from international universities, who are searching for internship opportunities. In addition to expertise, international students bring cultural knowledge of the student's home country to the work community.
How can I recruit an intern?
The easiest way to recruit an intern is to fill in a internship vacancy advertisement below (see guidelines for advertisers). Internship practices and schedules vary by university. Further information on university-specific practices is available from career and recruitment services of the universities.
An advertisement can only be printed through the preview function using the print function of your web browser. The advertisement should be printed before submission. A print function will be added shortly.
Good internship experience can be promoted by making preparations for the arrival of the intern and acquainting yourself with issues related to the various stages of job placement.


Whether it's your home or your business, garage door malfunctions can be incredibly frustrating and even damaging to productivity. In some cases, your vehicle may even get stuck inside of the garage due to your door refusing to open. When these things happen, you need a reliable, long-term solution that will restore your garage door back to a functional condition.
One of the best ways to recover from garage door malfunctions is to call a professional repair company that will be not only familiar with the various types of garage doors but which will also equipped with the right tools and expertise to assess and repair any issues that you may encounter.
Issues that concern your garage door's ability to open and close can threaten your capability to travel in and out and can leave your building vulnerable to exterior threats, and in these situations, it's important that you call a reliable repair technician who is prepared to respond to issues in a timely manner.
Different door types may be prone to different issues. Whether you need sectional doors, tilta-doors, or garage roller door repairs in Perth, you can rest assured that the services you need are just a call away. Even when the issue isn't obvious, your repair technician can locate the source of the problem and carry out the appropriate corrective action.
If you get in touch with the right company, you can also have them perform repairs on your garage door operators. Even when your garage door can still be operated manually, you will be forced to get out of the vehicle when you lack an operator, and in bad weather, this can be inconvenient and even dangerous. Calling a repair technician ensures that you can enter and exit your garage with ease and without exposing yourself to extreme weather.
If you don't have a garage door operator, you can also ask your technicians about installing one for the first time. Typically, they can do this for you, but they will also be able to point you in the right direction if it's something that is out of their hands.
Your repair technicians are capable of repairing large commercial sectional doors, sliding doors, and all makes and models of domestic garage doors. Most importantly, they are well-equipped to service and even replace a number of parts.
Your repair technicians will arrive with a range of parts and accessories already on hand, which means they will be able to repair most issues within a single visit. Should you need any parts that they don't carry, you can rest assured that the arrangements will be made.

Kanye West Featured On Cover Of Forbes, Returning To Celebrity 100 List After Four-Year Hiatus
Forbes Press Releases Forbes Staff
Taylor Swift, Shakes it Off, Takes Top Spot on the Definitive Ranking of the World's Highest-Paid Entertainers
#Celeb100
NEW YORK (July 10, 2019) – After a four-year hiatus, Kanye West returns to Forbes' Celebrity 100 list and secures the No. 3 spot—surpassed only by his sister-in-law Kylie Jenner (No. 2) and Taylor Swift, who tops this year's list. The annual Celebrity 100 ranks the world's highest-paid celebrities in music, sports and entertainment, from Hollywood to Bollywood. Nearly a third of the celebrities on this year's list are from outside the U.S. This year's Celebrity 100 includes six actors from the Marvel Universe, thanks to the success of Avengers: Endgame. While these stars can command millions upfront, the real money came in back-end points, as each got a piece of the film's estimated $700 million profit. The listees are Chris Hemsworth, Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Bradley Cooper and Paul Rudd.
In the cover story, "Kanye's Second Coming," West opens up to Zack O'Malley Greenburg about his billion-dollar Yeezy sneaker empire, which promises to be the best bet in a generation to topple Air Jordan. In his first big interview about the business of Yeezy, Kanye talks about his design obsession, which dates back as far as his passion for music. His fame from his music career gave him the chance to return to his first love: sneakers. Perhaps most impressively, West still owns 100% of Yeezy, which explains how he became a centimillionaire much earlier in his life than Jordan.

Q: Ubuntu 14.04.5 System Settings Won't Launch I recently installed Ubuntu 14.04.5 and now I'm having issues launching System Settings. I was able to launch it initially, but the only thing that's changed is that I've installed CUDA, and now it isn't launching. My screen size is oddly large (see below), which is why I'm trying to change it through System Settings. If there's another way of doing it (I'm using a Qnix monitor + Titan X Pascal graphics card), please let me know!
Oddly large display.
Here's what I've tried:

*

*uninstalling and reinstalling System Settings (sudo apt-get remove unity-control-center, sudo apt-get install unity-control-center)

*typing unity-control-center and gnome-control-center, which results in this output for unity: (unity-control-center:6209): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_strsplit: assertion 'string != NULL' failed
Segmentation fault (core dumped), and this for gnome: (unity-control-center:6296): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_strsplit: assertion 'string != NULL' failed
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

*sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop: no change


Finally, the most profound truth of the movie, is that everything that is really needed has been there all along. We travel great distances in search or something; striving and reaching, when the best thing is always to cultivate a pause, and turn in to notice. There is so much magnificence within… Celebrate it! Let your heart say thank you for the mind, heart, courage and pathway home to the center that has been within you all along. Be brave like Dorothy Gale and show up for yourself for a change.

Please place your carts out as early as 7pm the night before service is scheduled to ensure collection.
Residential customers will see a change in cart color.
Trash carts will be gray.
Recycle carts will be green.


PRINCETON, NJ -- Religiousness across the U.S. in 2013 remained similar to previous years. With 61% of its residents classified as very religious, Mississippi held on to its position as the most religious state, while Vermont, with 22% very religious residents, remained the least religious. The most religious states were in the South, except for Utah, while the least religious states were clustered in New England and the West.
These state-by-state results are based on more than 174,000 interviews conducted as part of Gallup Daily tracking in 2013, including more than 500 interviews conducted in each state and 442 in the District of Columbia. Complete results and sample sizes are on page 2.
Gallup classifies Americans as very religious if they say religion is an important part of their daily lives and that they attend religious services every week or almost every week. More than four in 10 Americans nationwide (41%) fit this classification in 2013. Twenty-nine percent of Americans were nonreligious, saying religion is not an important part of their daily lives and that they seldom or never attend religious services. The remaining 29% were moderately religious, saying religion is important in their lives but that they do not attend services regularly, or that religion is not important but that they still attend services.
Gallup began tracking religion using this measure in 2008, and the nationwide proportions of Americans in each of the three religious categories have remained generally stable since then. The percentage "very religious" is slightly higher in 2013 than it was in 2012, 2011, and 2008, while the percentage of nonreligious Americans is slightly lower in 2013 than in any previous year.
Although there have been minor changes in the rank-order of the most religious and the least religious states between 2008 and 2013, the broad pattern has remained similar year after year. Ten of the 11 most religious states in 2013 are in the South. The exception is Utah, a majority of whose residents identify as Mormons -- the most religious of any major religious group in the country.
The 10 least religious states in 2013 are from two areas -- New England and the West -- plus the District of Columbia. The New England states of Vermont and New Hampshire continue to be the least religious states in the union.
The U.S. remains a religious nation -- with about seven in 10 Americans classified as very or moderately religious -- and the nation's residents as a whole are about as religious now as they were in 2008. The religiousness of the nation's residents, however, does vary substantially by state and region. The most religious areas continue to be the South, the state of Utah, and the Midwestern Plains states, while the least religious areas are mostly in New England, the Pacific Northwest, and other Western states.
These regional variations are quite stable and look generally the same now as they did six years ago. They reflect basic state cultures that are highly persistent, even as states experience demographic changes through births, deaths, and migration.
The differences in religiousness across states can have several causes. For example, the Southern states have a higher percentage of Protestants than the national average, and Protestants have above-average religiousness. The New England states have a higher percentage of those with no religious identity at all, and these residents are of course much lower than average on the religiousness scale. Still, previous research shows that even among those in the different regions who have the same religious identity, state-level cultural differences still affect average religiousness. Protestants in Mississippi are more religious than Protestants in Vermont, and those with no religious identity in Mississippi are more religious than those with no religious identity in Vermont.
Utah is the exceptional state. Mormons are the most religious of any category or denomination Gallup routinely measures, and Utah's majority Mormon population clearly explains why Utah stands out so remarkably from its much less religious neighboring states.
Results for this Gallup poll are based on telephone interviews conducted Jan. 2-Dec. 29, 2013, on the Gallup Daily tracking survey, with a random sample of 174,699 adults, aged 18 and older, living in all 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia.
Nearly four in 10 Americans report that they attended religious services in the past seven days, similar to the percentages Gallup found in 1940 and 1950, although there have been significant fluctuations over time.

Medicare Supplement Open Enrollment – How Does it Work?
Your individual Medicare Supplement Open Enrollment period is the timeframe in which you can buy Medicare Supplement plans 2019 from any insurance agency, without qualifying restoratively, pay a higher rate because of any present or previous health conditions, or sit tight for scope. Open Enrollment is Federally-ordered, so every organization needs to submit to it.
At the point when Is It?
This underlying enlistment period starts for every person on the primary day of the month in which they are both age 65 or more seasoned and selected in Medicare Part B. It goes on for a time of a half year from that date. For instance, if your birthday is March 3 and you enlist in Medicare Part B to begin on March 1 of that same year, your Open Enrollment period would start on March 1 and last during that time of August.
One thing that causes perplexity in understanding when the Open Enrollment time frame falls is the way that numerous Medicare Supplement organizations likewise expand a six month term before the beginning of one's Open Enrollment. Amid this period, organizations enable you to agree to accept scope that isn't compelling until the genuine Part B powerful date (frequently the same as the principal day of the month in which you turn 65). So all things considered, an individual would have a year time frame in which he/she could join with no medicinal endorsing.
If you have manager amass health protection, it is now and again astute to defer enlistment in Medicare Part B until if and when you lose or end that gathering scope. What this does is promises you the capacity to have an Open Enrollment period at the later time that you do agree to accept Medicare Part B.
Amid this period, you don't need to answer any restorative inquiries, take a physical or talk about medicines with the Medicare Supplement insurance agencies.
Basically, your application is drained of restorative data. This permits endorsing to be brisk, and you can, much of the time, get the scope in an opportune way with little intricacy.
By no means can the insurance agency decay you scope or power you to pay a higher rate in view of your past or current health.
It is basic that you agree to accept a Medicare Supplement plan amid Open Enrollment. Inability to do as such can cause issues for you later, if you wish to join at that point. By then, you would need to qualify restoratively (i.e. be in sensibly great health) with a specific end goal to be qualified for a plan. Joining amid your underlying Open Enrollment period is the main beyond any doubt approach to maintain a strategic distance from that predicament and secure a monetary eventual fate of limited health care costs.

Jealousy & In the Labyrinth
Two Novels
by Alain Robbe-Grillet Translated from French by Richard Howard Introduction by Benny Morris Introduction by Roland Barthes
"Jealousy…is a technical masterpiece, impeccably contrived." –New York Times Book Review
Imprint Grove Paperback
Alain Robbe-Grillet (1922-2008) was born in Brest, France. He was one of the most important postwar avant-gardist, and along with Michel Butor, Nathalie Sarraute and Claude Simon Robbe-Grillet was a founder of the "New Novelists" or noveau roman literary movement.
Read More About Alain Robbe-Grillet
Here, in one volume, are two remarkable novels by the chief spokesman of the so-called "new novel" which has caused such discussion and aroused such controversy.
This volume, which offers incisive essays on Robbe-Grillet by Professor Bruce Morrissette of the University of Chicago and by French critics Roland Barthes and Anne Minor, also contains a helpful bibliography of writings by and about the author.
Tags Literary
"An exhilarating challenge." –San Francisco Chronicle.
The Times Literary Supplement of London called Robbe-Grillet an "incomparable artist" and the Guardian termed Jealousy "an extraordinary book."
In his native France, leading critic Maurice Nadeau wrote in France-Observateur that "In the Labyrinth is better than an excellent novel: it is a great work of literature," and fellow novelist and critic Claude Roy judged the same work Robbe-Grillet's "best book," while here in America the "Parade of Books' column called In the Labyrinth "a highly emotional experience for the reader" and went on to predict: "Robbe-Grillet will take his place in world literature as a successor of Balzac and Proust."

The Shondes
Before The Shondes' fourth album The Garden (Exotic Fever) cracked the seal on the mainstream for the band, front woman Louisa Rachel Solomon said it was "an album about growing up." She had no idea how right she was. After its release they experienced a game-changing wave of critical praise, and got the opportunity to go on a national tour supporting punk legends Against Me! The scrappy, heart-on-their-
sleeves rock band has truly come into its own, and will kick off 2015 with a headlining national tour, supported by indie goth darling Hailey Wojcik.
When USA Today's POP CANDY debuted the video for their single On Your Side, the author said the song "hits close to home" and that she was "reassured to know smart punk bands were still out there, blending their passions for activism and bombastic sounds." The band is well-known for taking political stances and this year was no exception, with the DC Jewish Community Center banning them for speaking out about the Israeli occupation of Palestine, and plenty of community outrage in response, many calling it "blacklisting." Subsequently, violinist Elijah Oberman and singer Louisa Solomon were honored to join the Artists' Council of Jewish Voice for Peace.

Q: submitting data to another site I'd like some help in taking data input from a user, using that input to complete a form on a different site and then collecting the results that the site outputs. Would it be possible to do this via PHP? If it helps/ additional info, the target site is in JSP.
The site in question is a result site for my university. It's done in JSP and there's no sort of API through which I can fetch the data. I'd like to be able to take user input ( unique student ID etc) , submit that to the result website, and fetch the results onto my own to do some calculations. Would it be possible to do this?
Any help would be appreciated.

A: well technically you can. if you create an http post request to that site you can send data to that site but the response will be the html code of the page. but as a security most of the sites usually protects their sites from such actions so they put a token inside their forms so that they can be able to know whether the form data is coming from their site or was submitted by external source.
you can try to send post HTTP using curl
here is a sample tutorial
https://davidwalsh.name/curl-post

A: It is not possible if the external site does not have APIs to provide the data. Normally cross-origin HTTP request would be disallowed for a web application. Read more about CORS Here.

Hi again, friends and demons! I hope you slept well, because some bad stuff happened last night. But there was also a little bit of good stuff too, maybe? These night have been very medium. How fitting, since we're in The Medium Place!
Only one dead body was found, but it was a doozy. I hope you have a good plan to find those demons, because you're gonna need one now.
hohopossum // hohoLucidDreamingpossum (WW72, I Am Everything That Happens) has DIED. He was the INQUISITOR (angel detective).
Even worse, The Beast claimed its first Horseman.
If I were capable of being annoyed, perturbed, upset, or frustrated, I would be those things.
At least only one of you managed to die last night. It's the little victories! Oh, but one of you also defected and is helping the demons now. Maybe this is The Bad Place after all.
Town wins if all scum players (demons and The Beast) are eliminated.
Demons win if they outnumber the remaining town players.
The Beast wins if they claim four souls.
The Beast is a rogue demon who has decided to incite the apocalypse. That's a bad thing, even for The Bad Place. Not existing is, obviously, not ideal. The Beast needs to first claim four souls to be its Four Horsemen before they can destroy Earth, The Good Place, The Bad Place, and everything in between.
The Beast is more powerful than demons, and therefore can only be killed by the Crusader or via lynching. The Beast cannot be lynched on day one.
The Beast is an SK and wins the game by killing four players to claim as their Four Horsemen. If the kill is stolen by angels or demons, then it does not go towards The Beast's count.
Souls that are claimed by The Beast do not go to the Graveyard, but instead join The Beast's QT to assist with their horrible plan. If The Beast brings about the apocalypse, those four players join in the victory.
Mindy is the only human who has earned her own "Medium Place", which is beyond the reach of any angels from The Good Place or demons from The Bad Place. She is unconcerned with the actions of angels or demons, but The Beast presents a threat, so she needs to find the killer before he ends her mediocre eternity of People magazine, naked gardening, and Eagles music.
Mindy is out of the reach of the agents of The Good Place or The Bad Place and therefore cannot be killed by angels or demons, but can be killed by The Beast. Mindy cannot be lynched on day one.
Mindy is desperately attempting to find The Beast. Each night she can investigate one player. She will be informed if that player is or is not The Beast. She doesn't care if players are an angel or a demon, and her results will only read "The Beast", "human", or "not human".
The angels are the agents of The Good Place and are seeking to save all the poor souls who have been caught in this predicament. If the angels can help the dead souls ascend to The Good Place, they will end the plans of The Beast and the demons and earn victory for The Good Place.
Angels share a QT and are Town-aligned. If the angels win, Town wins, and vice versa.
The angels have divine protection, but only for a short time. Angels cannot be lynched on day one or killed during night one.
The Inquisitor is an angelic detective who can find only demons.
The Guardian is an angelic jailer who can block a single player each night. Jailed players cannot use or be the target of night actions.
The Crusader has two vigilante kills to be used at any time.
Demons are agents of The Bad Place. The Beast is running amok, so the demons are taking the opportunity to steal as many souls for The Bad Place as possible. If the demons manage to outnumber the remaining Town players, they will overpower the remaining souls and claim victory for The Bad Place.
Demons share a night kill.
Shawn is the boss demon and has a one-shot recruitment ability. If Shawn targets The Beast or any roled Town player (Mindy St. Clair or an angel), the recruitment fails.
Trevor is a douchebag, even as far as demons go, and has a one-shot ability to steal The Beast's kill. On the night Trevor chooses to steal The Beast's kill, the demons lose their own night kill, but The Beast's kill does not become one of the Four Horsemen. The kill is automatically stolen (that is, Trevor does not pick a target; simply activating this ability means The Beast's kill becomes the wolves' kill), unless otherwise affected via angel actions.
Vicky is an aspiring actress demon and shows as Town when investigated.
The Intern is a recruited human who has been added to the demons' workforce. It is an unpaid internship.
Killed players will be roleclaimed.
At twilight, the player with the most votes will be lynched. Ties will result in all tied players being lynched.
DO NOT EDIT POSTS! DO NOT QUOTE DIRECTLY FROM YOUR QT! Doing so may get you modkilled and end up hurting your team and the game overall.
Feel free to ask any questions in your personal QT or on the game thread.
The game was expanded at the last minute. As a result, some rules may be added (such as two lynches per day) if the game is dragging. I will make it clear if I am adding additional rules in order to speed up the game.
Spoilers note: This game is modeled after The Good Place. While I do not plan on any blatant spoilers (beyond the oblique spoilers in these rules), I cannot promise this game will be 100% free of spoilers for the show. Participate at your own risk.
DAY THREE ENDS AT 10 P.M. (CENTRAL) ON WEDNESDAY, 10/10.

Provisionally Yours
Antanas Sileika
The following is from Antanas Sileika's novel Provisionally Yours. After World War I, former counterintelligence officer Justas Adamonis is recruited back into service, this time for the nascent Lithuanian government. He quickly finds himself ensnared in a dangerous web of political corruption and personal betrayal. Antanas Sileika is the author of five books of fiction and a memoir. He has been short-listed for the Toronto Book Award and the Leacock Medal for Humour as well as long-listed for Canada Reads.
The border guard studied the identity papers Adamonis had kept hidden through his escape out of shattered Russia, looking from his photo to his face, from his photo to his face. He told Adamonis to stay where he was on the train platform. Adamonis set down his suitcase and briefcase and pulled the collar of his woollen coat around his neck. The guard's superior came back without the passport and asked Adamonis to follow him.
He took Adamonis into a cold office in the corner of the train station where an unshaven man sat behind a desk in a room with a stove but without heat.
Adamonis could see his own breath and his interrogator kept on his coat and hat throughout the interview, taking many notes with a pencil that he stopped to sharpen with a penknife when the lead wore down. The man asked about Adamonis's career in great detail—called up for service in 1912, accepted into military school, moved to the Austrian front at the beginning of hostilities. Assigned to signals.
This last detail pricked the interest of the plainclothes-man. Adamonis knew all about interrogation, and he listened to the questions with admiration as the interrogator followed the thread of Adamonis's military career in signals to his years in counterintelligence until the army collapsed and split into the red and white factions. This story could have got him shot a month ago back in Russia, but now he was in a place where he could tell the truth. At least he hoped that was so.
The interrogator asked him to wait outside among the exhausted families and ragged men in the waiting room.
"I'll miss my train," said Adamonis.
"Another one comes eventually. Maybe you'll get that one."
There was nothing to eat in the waiting room, a big hall in the Obeliai border station half-filled with cloth bundles upon which men, women, and children slept while they waited to clear customs and quarantine. Some never would. Adamonis sat on the end of a bench and took a piece of sausage out of his bag, and a boy was beside him as soon as he cut off his second slice. Soon there were two more children and his food was gone before he could taste another bite. He tried to go outside to smoke, but a guard stopped him at the door and directed him to a smoking room where he had to roll two cigarettes for others before lighting up his own.
His train departed.
Three hours later, the guard called him back into the room. Coal had found its way into the stove and a glass of tea and two biscuits as well as his passport were sitting on Adamonis's side of the desk. His interrogator came around from behind his desk, introduced himself as Lieutenant Oleka, and saluted.
"Welcome home, General," said Oleka. "I wonder if I could ask you a few more questions."
"No need to salute, Lieutenant. I'm not exactly in the army any longer. And I'd be happy to answer your questions."
The next morning, the whistle blew and the locomotive began to jerk forward, leaving behind the barn-like customs station with its hopeful or crestfallen men and women. One more hurdle overcome, and all in all, not the hardest one.
The window beside him had frost creeping out from the corners and the fields beyond were covered in snow. At least the carriage was warm, crowded as it was with Lithuanians fleeing Russia. There had been thousands of them scattered across the country, soldiers in the czar's army, bureaucrats and labourers, all going home now that the old czarist world had collapsed and the maw of the revolution was devouring so many. He was in a carriage with the lucky ones. He'd narrowly missed being shot along with all the officers on a ferry crossing the Prut River in Romania. On a flatbed train car he was denounced as bourgeois, so Adamonis had pushed the accuser and watched him fall under the severing wheels. The Soviets were especially bitter about having lost their war with Poland only months earlier. Anyone who chose to leave was a traitor to the cause.
The word home felt like the promise of a warm bed on a cold night. But what kind of a home would it be for Adamonis? His parents were dead and only his sister still lived in Kaunas, and when he'd last seen her, she'd been a teenager. As for the country, it had successfully fought off the Reds and the German Freikorps, but lost its southern part to the Poles. Technically, Lithuania was still at war with Poland, and that had made it all the more complicated to return from shattered Russia, forcing him to head north, skirting Poland to enter the country through Latvia.
Adamonis was tired and could let himself feel it for the first time in a long time now that he was safe. He craved a cigarette, but there was no smoking in his third-class compartment with its wooden benches, and it was far too cold to go out and stand between the cars. He could wait. He dozed and dreamed of places he had passed through in the months it had taken him to reach this country—the Polish dvaras where the spinster sisters had come to him because his fellow officers were stealing their silver. The sisters didn't mind the loss of the silver, but the thieves were wrapping the knives and forks in paper with notations written by a former guest, the composer Richard Strauss. The sisters wanted to save the music. They even offered him a page of the music after he'd saved it, but he'd turned them down. Now he regretted it because the women were probably dead anyway. He had narrowly missed being drowned when the Reds shelled the ice across which his unit was marching. He remembered the forest hung with clocks looted by rebel soldiers, but too heavy to carry all the way home.
After a long day's journey with stops at every country station, the train slowed as it entered a long tunnel and then pulled into Kaunas. Adamonis stepped off the train with only one bag and a briefcase, not much more than what he'd left with years earlier. As he walked along the platform toward the station he heard cries of delight and saw joyful reunions as men and women embraced and whole families charged into the arms of relatives. But he could see no sign of anyone who looked like his sister.
A young man with a long brown beard and eyeglasses came up to him in the hall.
"Mr. Justas Adamonis?"
He nodded.
"Michael Landa," and he put out his hand. "We've heard about you. I represent the Lithuanian government, and I wonder if we could have a chat."
Adamonis measured men quickly, as he had been taught. This one looked all right and he was alone, and that was good.
"Of course, but not just now. I've been away a long time and I think my sister is expecting me."
"We've spoken to your sister. She's agreed to let us take you over to her house a little later."
"Where is she now?"
"At home with her family. She's anxious to see you, but she's a patriot, and she understands. I hope you're a patriot too."
"It's a bit too soon to tell. I just stepped off the train."
"Then maybe you'll become a patriot. In the meantime, your sister lives here, and helping us will help her."
Adamonis wasn't sure if this was an appeal or a threat. He could be outraged or he could be agreeable, and he chose the second option. He didn't really know much about the government, but it couldn't be anything worse than what he'd left behind.
Landa led him out of the station and down the steps to a sled where a driver was waiting for them. Adamonis wore a felt fedora and a heavy wool coat, but the coat had become worn, as he had lived in it days and many nights for over a year. He was a solid man in ordinary times, but the last year of flight had thinned him out and he felt the cold as they drove along through light snow.
The city lay in a dim pool of woodsmoke and falling snowflakes, with men walking by as quickly as they could on the silent streets. A mother with a scarf over her mouth tugged along a child bundled in a knitted hat and felt boots. He saw only three cars in all.
Kaunas had been a czarist garrison town that now, after the war, had a capital thrust upon it. Vilnius was supposed to be the capital of Lithuania, but the Poles believed it belonged to them and had seized it three months earlier. With the occupation of Vilnius, the Lithuanians licked their wounds and set up in Kaunas, calling it their "provisional capital."
Seeing the city of his youth through the snow was like seeing it in a dream. He recognized Soboras, the massive Russian Orthodox church built for the garrison in the last century, but the low wooden houses and two-storey brick buildings seemed neither familiar nor unfamiliar, suspended between reality and memory.

BEST NEW TRACKS: MALLRAT - GROCERIES
by Calvin Paradise
While movies and pop music try to make it seem like some grand and splendorous thing, being in love is really just one big pain in the ass. Especially for independently minded creative folks who actually enjoy being by themselves. Here lies the premises behind "Groceries," the first track off Mallrat's latest EP In The Sky.
Grace Shaw, the 19 year old wunderkind behind Mallrat, said as much in a recent interview with Happy Magazine in regards to the song: "It's about having a crush but not wanting to have a crush on someone. Being like, this is so annoying, I don't want this. I love being independent, so when you really like someone it can be annoying."
Same x 1000. The only thing worse than not having a crush is having a new crush. Ugh, who even wants to deal with all those emotions, to say nothing of the anxiety-ridden uncertainty new crushes always bring with them.
For her part, Shaw deals with all this nonsense by writing an incredibly catchy, compelling, and highly relatable song. Combining the nonchalant, 'don't let them see you trying' coolness of Pavement, the just woke up vocals of Frankie Cosmos*, and an abundance of swagger and confidence that's entirely her own, Shaw has composed the perfect intro to her new EP and her musical stylings in general.
There's a muted desperation throughout "Groceries" that is as difficult to pull off as it is to define. She perfectly captures the way a crush can overrun your entire world. Here you are just trying to buy some groceries when you find yourself aimless staring at the display of peanut butter while wondering what that person's kiss tastes like. Or if they're thinking of you in the same way, or at all. "This sucks. I'm lovesick". Preach girl.
I think Mallrat has been reading all of our diaries.
MALLRAT - GROCERIES
What else do you need to know about Mallrat?
For starters her name comes from The Orwells song and not the Kevin Smith movie (although I think that song is at least loosely based on the movie). She's from Brisbane, Australia but is moving to Los Angeles to further her music career In The Sky is really excellent and worth a listen. A big step forward from her debut EP Univitied, whose title I will always believe is a reference to that Alanis Morissette song about Uncle Joey regardless of what anyone says.
Anyhow, be sure to check out In The Sky, specifically on Spotify mobile because it's got some fantastic visuals to accompany a really great EP.
* Well really Kimya Dawson, but does anyone even know who The Moldy Peaches are anymore? I feel so old...
Calvin Paradise is not any one thing. The half-hearted vagabond and forgetful luddite currently resides in Los Angeles and how he spends his time is none of your damned business.


A TOTAL of QR87.5 billion ($24 billion) has been earmarked for large-scale projects in Qatar's latest budget – its largest ever – which was endorsed at the end of March.
This marks a 16.8 per cent increase over the previous year, the Qatar News Agency reported. The new budget has proposed expenditure topping the $60-billion mark (QR218.4 billion) – up 3.7 per cent from last year – with projected revenues of up to QR225.7 billion ($62 billion).
Health services have been allocated QR15.7 billion ($4.3 billion) – an increase of 12.5 per cent over last year, while projected expenditures for education jumped to QR26.3 billion ($7.2 billion), up 7.3 per cent from last year. More than QR3.3 billion ($900 million), meanwhile, will go towards the construction of 6,000 new housing units.
The new budget makes way for large spending on infrastructure projects such as bridges, tunnels, public transport, the metro and roads as well as electricity, water and sanitation systems, commented Abdul Aziz Al Emadi, a businessman and former chairman of the Qatar Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
Other infrastructure projects, he said, include completion of the new Hamad International Airport and the 2022 World Cup projects, including eight new stadiums.
Meanwhile, Qatar's Minister of Economy and Trade Sheikh Ahmed bin Jassim Al Thani said QR664 billion ($182 billion) has been earmarked for infrastructure expenditure for the next five years.
The expenditure, which excludes projects in oil and gas sector or private sector ventures, is aimed at strengthening the building materials manufacturing sector that will support the construction of mega infrastructure projects, he said.
