Torrance mixes work with new book
A FORMER politics reporter with stv has penned a history of Scotland's Secretaries of States, who include two former governor-generals of Australia and the owner of Scotland's finest salmon river.
David Torrance – who also used to be a reporter on the Edinburgh Evening News and is now working as a parliamentary aide to the shadow Scottish secretary at Westminster, David Mundell – has charted the trials and tribulations of the 39 men and one woman who have held the post since it was created by Lord Salisbury in 1885.
From humble beginnings as an ill-regarded offshoot of the Home Office, the department grew to become a mini-Whitehall by the 1930s. It was also an important wartime department and a testing ground for planning and social reforms during the 'white heat' of the 1960s.
But with the Scottish parliament now established as the hub of Scottish political life, the re-christened Scotland Office is once again redundant.
Drawing on first-hand accounts and contemporary correspondence, Torrance paints what's described as a "vivid biographical portrait" of those figures – many now completely forgotten – who controlled Scotland's
political agenda from both the Regency charm of Dover House, in London, and the Art Deco surroundings of St Andrew's House, in Edinburgh.
The two former governor-generals of Australia were the 1st Marquis of Linlithgow and Viscount Novar, while the owner of what was then described as Scotland's finest salmon river was the 6th Duke of Richmond.

1978–82: The band[edit]
In 1978, having received a substantial royalty payment for his work with The Yardbirds, Russian music entrepreneur Giorgio Gomelsky relocated to New York City in an attempt to open up the American market to the European progressive jazz-rock bands he was working with, such as Gong, Henry Cow and Magma. He established the Zu Club in Manhattan and after meeting 24-year-old bass player Bill Laswell, encouraged him to form a band. Three young friends, Michael Beinhorn (17, synthesizer), Martin Bisi (17, engineering) and Fred Maher (14, drums), responded to Laswell's advert in The Village Voice and the band began rehearsing in the club's basement.[1]
The band became known as the "Zu Band" until Gomelsky hooked them up with former Gong frontman Daevid Allen for a performance at his Zu Manifestival at the Zu Club on October 8, 1978, for which they became "New York Gong". Guitarist Cliff Cultreri, who was replaced by guitarist Michael Lawrence for the Manifestival before returning, and second drummer Bill Bacon joined them for a Spring 1979 tour of the USA in an old school bus playing most of Gong's Radio Gnome Invisible trilogy.[Don Davis on saxophone.] In autumn, they recorded the album About Time.[2] Allen and the band amicably parted company when they "discovered they couldn't stand the European way of life" during a tour of France.[3]
The band then took the name Material, from the Laswell/Cultreri-composed instrumental "Materialism" on the About Time album. Their debut recording was 1979's instrumental industrial funk Temporary Music 1 EP for Gomelsky's Zu Records. The band then signed to Celluloid Records, and the single "Discourse" was issued in 1980.
They were reduced back to the trio of Beinhorn, Laswell and Maher for the 1981 EP Temporary Music 2 (included Don Davis on Saxophone,"White Man"). The departed Cultreri later worked in A&R for Relativity Records where he is credited with bringing Megadeth, Steve Vai, and Joe Satriani to the label.[4]
The first for full album for Material, Memory Serves, which featured strong jazz leanings, had contributions from guitarists Sonny Sharrock and Henry Cow's Fred Frith, cornetist Olu Dara, saxophonist Henry Threadgill and violinist Billy Bang.
They started working with singers and their music became more melodic and funkier. Their next single "Ciquiri" (included on the American Songs EP) which featured guitarist Robert Quine, became popular in New York City dance clubs. The 1981 "Bustin' Out" single was released as an extended club mix peaking at number two on the dance charts.[5] On "Busting Out", they were fronted by singer Nona Hendryx with support from guitarist Ronnie Drayton. This line-up also recorded "It's a Holiday" for a split single with Cristina.
By 1982's One Down, drummer Maher had left the band, and they embraced a multitude of singers including Nona Hendryx, B.J. Nelson, R. Bernard Fowler and Whitney Houston in one of her first lead singer recordings. Houston's vocal was on a cover version of Hugh Hopper's "Memories", which also featured a lead break by saxophonist Archie Shepp. Critic Robert Christgau of The Village Voice called her contribution "one of the most gorgeous ballads you've ever heard".[6] As an indication of the direction the band headed for, Chic's guitarist Nile Rodgers was involved alongside Frith and Drayton, but perhaps more significantly, was one of the first appearances of longtime Laswell collaborator Nicky Skopelitis.
1982–89: Collaborations[edit]
Bill Laswell and Michael Beinhorn settled into a duo and began working with other musicians, producing, writing and performing, with Martin Bisi continuing occasionally as the engineer. They worked initially in the electro genre, but quickly moved into the fields of hip-hop and rap, collaborating with turntablist D.St and rappers PHASE 2 and Fab Five Freddy.
A chance meeting between Laswell and Herbie Hancock at Elektra Records, in which the latter expressed interest in making music in the vein of Malcolm McLaren's "Buffalo Gals", led to a collaboration that brought forth the Future Shock album and the hit single "Rockit".[1] They would collaborate with Hancock on two further albums released under his name, 1984's Sound-System and 1988's Perfect Machine. Hancock himself would go on to contribute to many of Material and Laswell's projects.
In 1984, under the name Timezone, they released the single "World Destruction" which featured disc jockey Afrika Bambaataa and John Lydon (former singer of the Sex Pistols and Public Image Ltd).
In 1985 Laswell and Beinhorn parted company. Beinhorn went into record production for the likes of the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Marilyn Manson. Laswell retained the Material name and was calling upon a large group of musicians with, at its core, guitarist Nicky Skopelitis, keyboardist Jeff Bova, percussionist Aiyb Dieng, former Parliament-Funkadelic keyboardist Bernie Worrell and bassist Bootsy Collins, plus Jamaican reggae duo Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare (Sly and Robbie).
1989–99: Projects[edit]
By 1989, Laswell had ceased using the Material name as an umbrella for his own activities and began to use it as a front for specific projects. The first of these projects was the album Seven Souls, featuring William S. Burroughs reading portions of his novel The Western Lands. In 1998, the album was subject to a series of re-mixes by Laswell, Talvin Singh, Spring Heel Jack, DJ Olive and released as The Road to the Western Lands.
The Third Power was released in 1991, with duo Sly and Robbie and Bootsy Collins being Laswell's main collaborators. Vocal performances were given by the Jungle Brothers' Baby Bam and Mike G, The Last Poets's Jalaluddin Mansur Nuriddin, and Shabba Ranks. Other musicians included members of Funkadelic, Herbie Hancock, Henry Threadgill and Olu Dara.
1993's Hallucination Engine was a fusion of jazz, Indian and Middle Eastern influences. Noted jazz players included Wayne Shorter, Jonas Hellborg, and from John McLaughlin's Shakti tabla player Zakir Hussain, violinist L. Shankar and Vikku Vinayakram (on ghatam). Palestinian violinist Simon Shaheen, Indian percussionist Trilok Gurtu, and William S. Burroughs also contributed. "Mantra", an 8-minute track from the album, was given a 17-minute remix by The Orb for the 12" single.
The final release under the name Material was 1999's Intonarumori. Sub-titled "Rap is still an art", it featured contributions from Rammellzee, Kool Keith, Flavor Flav and Killah Priest.
Laswell has on occasion used the name for live performances, the last being at the Bonnaroo Music Festival on June 13, 2004 with, among others, his wife Gigi, drummer Bryan "Brain" Mantia and guitarist Buckethead (both from Laswell's other project, Praxis).[7]

New Charter Schools "Ups the Game for Public Education in Philadelphia"
Impact of PSP-Suported Public Charter Schools
The Philadelphia Inquirer's feature story about PSP-supported MaST II and MaST III charter schools concludes by stating, "If only every school in Philadelphia could offer students as much [as they do]." PSP provided grants to both MaST II, which opened its doors for the 2016-17 school year, and MaST III, opening this school year, to increase the number of seats available in great schools. As the Inquirer points out, it is not surprising that the seats in MaST II and MaST III are in high demand by families seeking the opportunity for a better education, with over 16,000 applications for only 1,100 open seats for the 2019-20 school year across both schools.
The story also notes the quality of the new school designs for MaST II and MaST III, as well as two other recently opened PSP-supported charter schools—Wissahickon Charter Awbury Campus and String Theory School Network—ups the game for public education in Philadelphia.
Read the highlights of the Inquirer's feature story below.
The Charter School Goes Upmarket With Opening of Two Suburban-Style Campuses in Northeast Philadelphia
Inga Saffron
August 29, 2019It's hard to believe, but it's been two decades since the first charter schools opened in Philadelphia. In the early years, those newly minted institutions tended to burrow into buildings that had seen better days — shuttered district schools, Class B offices, old car dealerships. Their main attraction was supposed to be their educational approach, not their facilities.
Maybe that's why it doesn't feel right calling the two new locations that MaST Community Charter will open this fall in Northeast Philadelphia "schools." Set on lushly landscaped, amenity-packed campuses, they might be better described as total educational environments. Whatever you think of the charter movement, the quality of the new designs ups the game for public education in Philadelphia.
MaST II in Tacony, which began holding classes this week, occupies a rise overlooking the Delaware, on what was, until 1986, the home of the Dodge steelworks. Although the surrounding area remains largely industrial, it's easy to forget where you are when you look out the windows of the soaring, second-floor media center. Freshly sodded playing fields fan out toward the water and the lacy Tacony-Palmyra Bridge rises up in a grand jeté as it leaps across the river.
MaST's second new campus, called MaST III, may be even more impressive. The school, which opens Sept. 16, took over the former headquarters of Crown Cork & Seal, a Fortune 500 company that quietly slipped out of town last year.
"Whatever you think of the charter movement, the quality of the new designs ups the game for public education in Philadelphia."
If you haven't heard of MaST — which stands for Math, Science, and Technology — it happens to be among the best-rated schools in Philadelphia. While not at the level of Masterman, the district's top performer, it was one of two Philadelphia schools (along with McCall Elementary, a district school) to receive a National Blue Ribbon from the U.S. Department of Education in 2017.
Those campuses bring the number of MaST locations to five and will allow its student population to grow to 4,500, the size of some suburban districts. The amenities that students will find at the new campuses are on par with many of those suburban schools, too.
In the last few years, several other Philadelphia charter schools have acquired sparkling new buildings. String Theory has established several locations, including one in the former SmithKline office building on Vine Street. Wissahickon Charter built a handsome building near Awbury Arboretum in Germantown. What MaST's new locations have is land, lots of land.
"[MaST III will] take half its students from four disadvantaged neighborhoods: Frankford, Olney, Logan, and Tioga. Swoyer said he expects MaST to end up with a student mix that is roughly equal parts white, black, Asian and Latino, making it more diverse than many Philadelphia schools."
Even though MaST's Crown campus sprawls across 41 acres, the entire project cost $34 million (including the $13.7 million to buy the property). For comparison's sake, the school district is spending $50 million to construct a new Solis-Cohen school in Northeast Philadelphia. Solis-Cohen also sits on a large site and will have ample outdoor space, but it is costing more partly because of state-imposed bidding rules. That building, which will house grades K to 5, will have just 140,000 square feet of space, about half of MaST III.
One of the reasons that the school district has encouraged MaST's expansion is that it can help relieve the overcrowding in Northeast schools, which are bursting at the seams thanks to a neighborhood population boom. MaST has been criticized in the past for being too white, but Swoyer says it is working on achieving a better racial balance. Under the terms of its charter, the Crown campus on Roosevelt Boulevard is required to take half its students from four disadvantaged neighborhoods: Frankford, Olney, Logan, and Tioga. Swoyer said he expects MaST to end up with a student mix that is roughly equal parts white, black, Asian and Latino, making it more diverse than many Philadelphia schools.
Those students will likely have to endure a long bus journey to both MaST schools. But when they arrive at its Tacony and Crown schools, they will find themselves in places where the opportunities are as vast as the campuses. If only every school in Philadelphia could offer students as much.
The new MaST II campus [photo on left] and MaST III campus [photo on right] were each launched with the help of a PSP grant.

Upgrade of Peru stocks eliminates risk of losing 'emerging market' status
Article Updated: May 18, 2017
Leading index-provider MSCI's incorporation of two Peruvian companies' stock into its small-cap index has eliminated the pending risk of reclassifying Peru as a "frontier market."
Shares of Volcan mining company and Graña & Montero construction have joined the ranks of three other Peruvian equities that qualify as "investable" according to index-fund provider Morgan Stanley Capital International. The companies were included in MSCI's Global Small Cap index as a result of the group's move to re-balance its global indices this week.
MSCI's incorporation of Volcan and Graña & Montero stocks into their Small Cap index, a classification for companies with market capitalization between $300 million and $2 billion, ensures Peru's classification as an "emerging market," a status threatened in recent years by low liquidity in the Lima stock exchange.
"We now have five equities and this will ensure that we no longer face the risk of demotion to frontier market status. Also important is that [these equities] have been included in the Small Cap index which in turn will motivate more investors to buy and continuing buying Graña & Montero and Volcan stocks and adding to stock exchange liquidity in general," Christian Laub, director and former president of the Lima stock exchange, told El Comercio.
In August 2015, MSCI called into question its classification of Peru as an "emerging market" despite standout economic growth in the region due to low liquidity in the Lima stock exchange, an announcement that spurred a 5% daily selloff and 13% drop on the week. MSCI requires a minimum amount of selling activity from "emerging markets" for investors who need to sell their holdings quickly.
In a scramble to prevent demotion from "emerging market" status to "frontier market" status and halt the potential reclassification, which analysts estimated could prompt capital flight of $5 billion from Peru, the finance ministry and the Lima stock exchange developed a strategy to increase selling activity by cutting capital gains, reducing fees and allowing trading of new financial instruments.
Despite such efforts, MSCI warned Peru that it could also be downgraded at any time if it lost any one of its three eligible stocks – Credicorp, Buenaventura or Southern Copper – which qualify for the MSCI Investable Universe.
"The MSCI Peru Index will remain in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. However, [MSCI] will proceed with the reclassification of Peru to Frontier Markets status in the event that the MSCI Peru Index falls short of the minimum requirement for Emerging Markets that the index contains at least three constituents," MSCI said in a statement in June 2016.
MSCI had been facing pressure from some investors to reclassify Southern Copper as a United States equity because it is incorporated in the United States and its stock is traded there. But the incorporation of Volcan and Graña y Montero into its small-cap index will quell fears of downgrading Peru to a "frontier market" and, for the time being, secure its place in the emerging-markets index.

Government in Business: Hearings Before the United States House Committee on ...
(공)저: United States. Congress. House. Committee on Government Operations
Google Play 도서
The board of trade has no thought of business engaging exclusively in such undertakings. It only expresses a sincere hope that business methods will be employed wherever practical and that the projects will continue under constant review so that business may have the opportunity of cooperating where feasible and desirable.
The New York Board of Trade would be reluctant to petition Government to enact a peci bill. We do applaud and petition that a bill to accomplish the expressed purposes be enacted.
The CHAIRMAN. If you will give consideration to the question of how we can get the Government out of business, that will be helpful,
Mr. GRIFFITH. Thank you, sir.
It has long been our traditional thinking that Government should not compete with nor should it unnecessarily harass or interfere with private enterprise.
I would like to emphasize that I did not use the word "free" private enterprise. I do not think in this country we have or should have freedom of enterprise. It has got to be controlled and restrained by the laws which Government does lay down.
It is encouraging, Mr. Chairman, I believe, to businessmen throughout the entire country to have the observations made from the business side of this committee table that I have heard just this morning. I believe it is encouraging to business and that, I think, includes both employers and employees.
We in the board of trade do not believe that there is a sharp line of demarcation that you can draw and say, "If the Government goes over that line we are opposed." It has to be a flexible arrangement. We could not come here in conscience recommending that in times of great emergency the arsenals of our armed services be hindered by the necessity of asking for bids for the immediate movement of goods. There are certain subjects dealing with security, like the atomic age we are now entering, where most certainly it is the function of Government to preserve, and business would certainly do nothing but applaud that. There are projects of interest to many of the StatesI am thinking of flood control and some of the attendant results which seem to us very properly to fall within the province of the Federal Government rather than for private business.
The CHAIRMAN. When you say "Government" do you mean State or Federal?
Mr. GRIFFITH. We mean the Federal Government.
We do feel, however, that there should be created this centralized body. I hesitate to use the word "agency' but there should be some place we can go which would be a lot more comfortable than where we go now, where you can come in and say, "Here are the facts," and somebody will listen to it.
We notice in the language of H. R. 8832 that you refer to over 100 instances where Government is competing. There is not a word in there as to how much money the Government has put into that. I doubt if there are very many places in Washington where you can find out how much capital expenditure the Federal Government has put into operations of this kind.
We believe very firmly that there should be a statement of this policy; that the Government is going to get out and stay out—I think I am quoting the words of the bill-out of business that could be transacted by private enterprise.
Mr. Chairman, this committee will encounter a lot of criticism. There are persons who for their own purpose use the word "business" and "big business" particularly as if that had some invidious meaning. I think that the same voices that are carping against business and big business are carping against politics and politicians, and they are also telling how much better things could be if we had something other than the American system.
I believe, Mr. Chairman, if you would permit me, I would like to read one brief excerpt, and that would be my conclusion. It is about H. R. 8832, which does set up this body, which does report both to the executive branch and to the legislative branch of the Government.
That this bill does not set up a supergovernment. It does not restrain the powers of Congress. It does not have the final decisions on whether Government projects should be undertaken or not. It would seem, therefore, that this bill makes a reasonable and intelligent start toward the desired ends of having Government perform the functions which it is best qualified to do and look to the American private enterprise to render its best services for Government.
Mr. Chairman, may I reiterate in final conclusion that I am bringing the thanks and appreciation of businessmen to you and your committee. I thank you, sir.
The CHAIRMAN. Any questions? Mr. OSMERS. Mr. Griffith, what do you feel the continued activity of the Government in business will mean in the field of invested capital, risk capital; and, after answering that, in connection with free labor?
Mr. GRIFFITH. Well, I think that the Government going into business is a deterrent to investment capital. Congressman, you know, up in New York we have an exact example of that in our city transportation system. There we had the private capital. . They could get the money for the Interborough and for the Rapid Transit Co., and it was invested funds. Then along came this theory that the Government ought to own that, so the city takes it over. What happens? We just simply send those companies bust. They are in bankruptcy. Now the city is having its difficulties. It had to turn it over to a transit authority. And they are actually now considering coming down to this Congress and saying, "We would like you to subsidize transportation in the city of New York." That is the next thing.
The CHAIRMAN. We would probably do it.
Mr. GRIFFITH. I beg your pardon?
The CHAIRMAN. We would probably do it. You have so many people up there who came from abroad, undoubtedly we ought to take them around to various points, wherever they want to go.
Mr. GRIFFITH. Can I put in a suggestion as to the destination where they ought to go or be sent?
The CHAIRMAN. Of course, you have the sole responsibility for that. I always say they can go there if they want to. I never suggest they do, but leave it free to them.
Mr. OSMERS. Mr. Griffith, I believe
Mr. GRIFFITH. I wanted to answer your question.
Mr. OSMERS. I wanted to finish my question.
Mr. GRIFFITH. Yes, sir.
Mr. OSMERS. About the private operation in subways, I know John F. Hylan and many succeeding political figures of note in New York City always ran out of the fights on fares platform. Now they are
on a 15-cent fare and are still in trouble. Government ownership of itself does not guarantee a cheaper ride.
Mr. GRIFFITH. No, sir. Somebody pays for it.
We are having identically the same thing with the Niagara power. Remember, Congressman, they are regulated by the public service commission.
The CHAIRMAN. Did the Congress not decide in favor of private business? Did we not pass that bill?
Mr. RIEHLMAN. The House passed it.
The CHAIRMAN. Yes. We have been converted and have acted on that one.
Mr. GRIFFITH. That is very encouraging, also.
Have I answered your question, sir?
Mr. Osmers. Yes, you have. I have no further questions, Mr, Chairman.
The CHAIRMAN. The witness who testified just before you suggested that because of his experience in the legislature he believed it would help if the Congress declared the policy, and perhaps went as far as it could to enact a law which would state that the Government should not engage in competition with any business.
Forget that. If we do not give them any more money, if we can learn who is really competing and refuse to give them any more money in our appropriation bills, have we not got them?
Mr. RIEHLMAN. Could I speak to that point? The CHAIRMAN. Maybe we had better discuss that tonight. Mr. RIEHLMAN. I would just like to make this observation, Mr. Chairman
Mr. GRIFFITH. Just a horseback opinion on that, Mr. Chairman: We have had instances in this country where the President has said:
Congress can enact a bill; now let it enforce it; I will not.
The CHAIRMAN. But they cannot operate if we do not give them any more money.
Mr. GRIFFITH. That is the point.
The CHAIRMAN. We have a control on that if we want to.
Mr. GRIFFITH. You see, if they do not have any money when they say,
Go ahead and enforce it. it will not be enforced.
The CHAIRMAN. But they will not have any money to operate the private businesses.
Mr. GRIFFITH. That is correct. You are absolutely correct.
The CHAIRMAN. They cannot work without the dollars which we give them.
Mr. GRIFFITH. That is right, sir.
Mr. RIEHLMAN. The observation I wanted to make, sir, is this: I have certainly no objection to the proper type of legislation which can be written and passed by the House to make effective some type of program to eventually eliminate the Government from business, but I think that one of the effective things that has been done in the past and is still being done is the work of the committees of the House, which are constantly probing into these matters and are writing constructive reports. I think right on your own committee that you have had several reports written by subcommittees which had good effect.
The CHAIRMAN. From your committee.
Mr. RIEHLMAN. Not mine. I am not talking about my committee.
The CHAIRMAN. I am.
Mr. Riehlman. I am talking about Mrs. Harden's committee, and others, which have written constructive reports. I am sure that the effect of those reports has been good and will continue to be good in keeping the Government from expanding in its activities. Some of them at this time are going out.
I am sure what Mr. Curtis had to say this morning was very timely in respect to this legislation, and I am sure that his experience on that subcommittee in the past 3 or 4 years up to the present time has been very valuable, although he is not now on it but is on the Ways and Means Committee. I think Mr. Osmers, the author of one of these bills, is on that subcommittee.
Mr. Ward, who is counsel and I guess director of the committee's activities, has done excellent work.
I certainly want to see something done in a very constructive way. Whether it can be done through legislation of this type or not I do not know.
May I make one other observation? You have in the House today a Small Business Committee composed of about 9 or 11 Members of the House. We have a staff which is constantly working here and is always willing to accept from Members of the House or their constituents their problems, and immediately go to work on them; and I know they have been very successful in solving many of them.
I do not know just exactly what should be done, but I am hopeful that when the hearings are concluded we can come up with either some constructive legislation or recommendations which can be followed through carefully. These matters have to be constantly probed, because you just cannot take what the outsiders are saying. The Congress itself has a responsibility to constantly follow through and see what is going on within the various departments of Government, pointing these things up. Maybe if we do have someone we can point them up to, to indicate them more impressively than giving them just to the administration in power that may be the way.
I think that the time is well spent, Mr. Chairman, in the consideration of these different bills before the committee here today.
Mr. OSMERS. Mr. Chairman?
The CHAIRMAN. I might add for the record that the hearings and reports of the subcommittee have all been incorporated in the record. Mr. RIEHLMAN. Very good.
The CHAIRMAN. That is why we were not devoting so much time to the question of the necessity of Government getting out of business. I have assumed all along that is axiomatic; they have not any business there. Mr. RIEHLMAN. I agree.
Mr. OSMERS. That is very true on that particular theory, if it were just that way. If that were put as a resolution on the floor of the House it probably would carry unanimously. The difficulty arises, Mr. Chairman, from the fact that in applying it in detail, for example, there might not be a need for a commissary in the middle of the city of Washington, but out at some desert location there might be a need for the Government to engage in the grocery business. I just point that out as an example of how conditions and circumstances vary cases.
I was very much impressed by what Mr. Pilcher, a member of the committee, said this morning about turning some of these supply matters over to predatory private interests. We must always have the ability and maintain the sovereignty of the Government to control any kind of situation of that sort.
The appropriating machinery of the Congress, which we may not like to admit, is geared up to appropriating $5 billion or $10 billion a year. When we have budgets of $70 billion or $80 billion a year some of the picture is painted in rather broad strokes. Even members of the Appropriations Committee itself, let alone the average Member of Congress, are not quite certain exactly where all the money is being spent.
Mr. Chairman, at this time I would like to put into the record 1 or 2 small items.
Mr. Taber, the chairman of the Committee on Appropriations, has written to me:
I am glad to see the introduction of H. R. 8832, to limit the activities of Government in competing with private enterprise. I shall be glad to support the bill.
We also have a telegram from Herbert Hoover. We hoped that we might have Mr. Hoover testify here. He has wired to Chairman Hoffman it will be impossible for him to be here, but that he has the subject under exhaustive investigation by three of the task forces of the Hoover Commission, which is now reviewing the activities of the executive branch.
Also, we have received statements from the Chamber of Commerce of the United States. (The information is as follows:)
STANFORD, Calif., July 13, 1954. Congressman CLARE HOFFMAN, Chairman, Government Operations Committee,
House of Representatives, Washington, D. C.: I have made important committments which will keep me on the west coast until August 15th and therefore I wish to be excused. This whole subject is under exhaustive investigation by three of our task forces and their members do not wish to make any statements until the investigation is completed in the late autumn, I hope that after that time we can be of real service to you.
HERBERT HOOVER,
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE OF THE UNITED STATES.
Washington, D. C., July 13, 1954. Hon. CLARE E. HOFFMAN, Chairman, Government Operations Committee,
New House Office Building, Washington, D. C. DEAR MR. HOFFMAN: As we advised you Monday, Clem Johnston of the national chamber is in the Far West this week and therefore unavailable for testimony on bills relating to Government competition with business.
I am attaching a statement on this highly important subject, which I would appreciate having you place in the record of your current hearings. Cordially yours,
CLARENCE R. MILES
STATEMENT OF THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE OF THE UNITED STATES The Chamber of Commerce of the United States is strongly opposed to Government competition with private enterprise and recommends enactment of legislation along the lines of H. R. 8832, H. R. 9834, and H. R. 9835.
The chamber members have long studied the problem created by the Government's commercial and industrial type activities which compete with private taxpaying, enterprise. They have gone on record with a general statement of policy which is attached as appendix A.

After deciding on a whim on Thursday night, I decided to have a browse on Booking for a hotel in the Cotswolds. I am super guilty of exploring other countries and not my own and given the availability of my partner, I decided (with some bribing) to convince him to take me on a weekend road trip. With little planning and an amazing cheap offer on a near by hotel (click here for it!) we decided to jump in to The Cotswolds come rain or shine (and believe me, we got both.) Advance warning: Potentially too many pictures of pretty houses coming your way.
Our first stop and actually pronounced like siren-ses-ter not chiren-chester like I believed, this little town is the biggest in the Cotswolds and believe me, it was. Boasting big high street chains mixed in with a beautiful near by park and old cottages it was the perfect little get away for a Saturday afternoon. We planned absolutely nothing in Cirencester and instead spent our day wandering around.
We walked around for a couple of hours before stopping off in the famous waffle shop He Says She Waffles. It was really busy so we opted for a takeaway waffle to munch in the park 5 minutes away. I don't know why, but on a whim I decided to order a Jelly and Ice cream waffle!? Trust me though, I didn't regret my choice at ALL.
After walking around for hours until our legs felt like the jelly we had just eaten, we went back to our hotel and called it a night. We even ordered room service! something completely out of character for me but definitely needed.
Sunday – Cricklade, Bourton on the Water.
When we woke up on Sunday it was chucking it down. Determined to not let it ruin our plans (it always rains when I travel), we head out to the local town of our hotel in the car and then off to Bourton on the Water. It was absolutely freezing by the time we arrived at Bourton. I've been holding out to use my coat so far but I actually really regret not bringing it.
Armed with just one umbrella between us and the enthusiasm of two people at an all you can eat buffet, we strolled around, exploring (read:eating) our way around Bourton. Let me tell you, Bourton on the Water is so beautiful! You can eat all the traditional English delicacies here, from Cream Teas to pasties it really has it all. As you will see by my photos, you can understand why it has been named the most beautiful village in the Cotswolds.
That concludes my little weekend in the Cotswolds and certainly not the last if I have it my way!
I hope you've enjoyed this little British post. I am really guilty of not exploring what is on my door step!
"CRICKLADE HOUSE HOTEL | HOTEL REVIEW"
This is a dream location for me! Every time I see photos I just want to get there immediately! So charming!!!!
Definitely take a visit! It's so worth it!
Thanks for sharing. Bourton looks beautiful in the autumn. I went one summer and it was overflowing with tourists everywhere I turned. I couldn't have taken any quiet pics like you had.
What a gorgeous place! Might have to take a little trip here sometime soon!
I've ALWAYS wanted to go here. I'm exactly the same, feel like I haven't explored England half as much as I should have and only realised now that I'm leaving! Will have to make this first on my list for when I get back!
Where are you heading off to live?! That's exciting! Definitely make it a rule for you to explore your surroundings in your new place!
Thank you!! It was cold and wet but definitely still pretty! especially with Autumn still present. I loved it! I am also aiming to travel more to UK destinations this year as well, but I think we're going to go further up!

very intriguing, a rare peek into record collecting in china!
Vinyl record collecting has started to make an appearance in China, with both music enthusiasts and investors digging up rare cuts and popular favorites. A well-preserved record from the 1950s can fetch prices of up to 1 million yuan (US$156,600) at auction.
While out-of-print records of Cantopop legend Leslie Cheung are worth several thousands of yuan, it is reported that Taiwanese sensations Teresa Teng and Tsai Chin are the most widely appreciated.
Since 2007, many musicians in western countries have been re-releasing their records on vinyl, and sales have soared as collecting becomes more popular. Yet in China, LPs are still out of production.
Zheng Anping, executive vice president of Shanghai Symphony Enthusiasts Association, said that although there are many collectors in countries outside of China, they are still confined to a small minority, especially as there is an enormous amount of old records that are hard to track down.
Shou Xiaojun, a record collector with China's Collection Association, pointed out that because the record collection market has not been given enough attention, the prices of vintage records are lower than the market value.
This is especially true of the rare LPs that were acquired before the Cultural Revolution, which were only preserved by people willing to defend their music collections with their lives. According to insiders, 78-rpm records were only circulated in several thousands of households. Following the Cultural Revolution, most of these LPs had been destroyed, and are now regarded as the most valuable collectable items as each of them is pricing over 10,000 yuan (US$1,600).
Experts said that though the gains from LP collection may not be particularly high, investors need only pick out records based on how well-maintained they are, and the record will likely appreciate in value.
Reprise Records will be releasing a limited edition vinyl box set from the DEFTONES. 'Deftones: The Vinyl Collection, 1995 - 2011' will be available on October 25th exclusively via Deftones.com and BecauseSoundMatters.com. The collection is a seven-album (8 LP) retrospective containing the band's six studio albums -1995's 'Adrenaline,' 1997's 'Around The Fur,' 2000's 'White Pony,' 2003's 'Deftones,' 2006's ,'Saturday Night Wrist,' and 2010's 'Diamond Eyes,' as well as the limited-edition 2011 Record Store Day release 'Covers,' Each album will be exclusively re-cut for vinyl from the original master recordings and pressed on 180-gram European virgin vinyl. The collection, which includes a unique lithograph and cover art, comes packaged in a hand numbered collector's box pressing of 1,000 copies worldwide.
The remaining members of The Beatles reunited for the London premiere of new the film 'George Harrison: Living In A Material World' last night (October 2). Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr were joined by Harrison's widow Olivia and son Dhani, along with friends, family and high-profile admirers including the director Martin Scorsese, plus Yoko Ono, Sir George Martin, Noel Gallagher, Sir Ben Kingsley, Billy Connolly, Terry Gilliam, Ronnie Wood and Harrison's first wife Pattie Boyd.
McCartney told BBC News that his bandmate, who died of lung cancer in 2001 aged 58, was "a great man."
"Every time I see something to do with George it brings back more memories than you would believe. He was my little mate on the school bus. A lot of fond memories. He's sorely missed by us all," McCartney stated.
To find talent for a record label, one used to have to attend a lot of shows and listen to a lot of demo cassettes.
Five years ago, another variable came into the equation: MySpace.
DFA Records released New Orleans musician Walter Jones's haunting 12-inch "I'll Keep on Loving You," (backed with "Living Without Your Love") in 2009 after label employee Justin Miller became enraptured by the former song on Jones' MySpace page.
But then labels started headhunting bands online before the latter had even become a band, or the former yet become a label. That's what happened a few years ago when Mike Sniper—the 34-year-old Brooklyn musician and minimogul who records as Blank Dogs and runs Captured Tracks, New York's premiere lo-fi indie label—first encountered the music of San Francisco's The Soft Moon, initially the one-man recording project of musician-songwriter Luis Vasquez.
"I had posted just a few tracks up on the page," said the 32-year-old Vasquez, who was born in L.A. and raised in the Mojave Desert before heading north for school and punk rock.
another great story about the vinyl revival!
MANKATO — She's a little more frail, a little grayer. But Maureen Toonkel, sifting through the stack of record albums in the basement of the VFW Sunday morning, probably looked a lot like she did when she was a teenager in New York.
Back then she hit the neighborhood record stores or Lloyd's just outside of the New York City and thumbed through the stacks for the latest Beatles 45s. She got 'em for 69 cents back then.
Today, she's still got almost every record she bought — roughly 900 — from back in the day.
"It's kind of nostalgic," she said, looking around the room full of vinyl, thinking about 40 years ago.
Masterworks Jazz concludes its celebration of the 40th Anniversary of CTI Records with reissues of four more classic CTI / Kudu albums available on October 4, 2011. Available for the first time on CD are Esther Phillips' Performance, Hank Crawford's Don't You Worry 'Bout a Thing, Johnny Hammond's Wild Horses Rock Steady and Lonnie Smith's Mama Wailer. All four releases have been remastered for the first time using the original two-track analog tapes. Each 40th Anniversary Edition is packaged in a soft-pack sleeve that replicates the iconic cover design.
While often compared to Nina Simone, Esther Phillips' idiosyncratic vocal style and her ability to sing in a wide range of styles from blues and jazz to straight-up pop and disco, established her as a unique talent. The lush orchestrations heard on Performance feature a backup band consisting of a veritable who's who of '70s jazz artists including Bob James, John Faddis, Hubert Laws, Bernard Purdie and Steve Gadd. Edgier than some of her other CTI/Kudu releases, Performance shows Phillips at her most soulful and at the peak of her vocal powers. Available for the first time on CD, Performance includes "Mr. Bojangles" as a bonus track.
"With an unmistakable blues wail, full of emotion and poignancy, altoist Hank Crawford bridges the gap between that tradition and that of jazz more completely than any other living horn player," writes Thom Jurek in All Music Guide (Crawford passed away in 2009). Taking its title from Stevie Wonder's timeless hit, Don't You Worry 'Bout A Thing features artists emerging from their years as straight-ahead jazz practitioners. Hank Crawford and crew create their own special mix of funk and soul and apply it to popular hits as well as original compositions with a jazz fusion bent. Don't You Worry 'Bout A Thing is available on CD for the first time.
The title of organist Johnny Hammond's second CTI/Kudu outing is a dead giveaway. Combining the names of The Rolling Stones' classic "Wild Horses" and Aretha Franklin's "Rock Steady" gives a good glimpse into the eclectic nature of this release even before the first notes of the recording are heard. Hammond and an incomparable band of sidemen (including Grover Washingtion, Jr., Ron Carter and Billy Cobham among many others) take on standards from the pop world as well as pop-based Broadway show tunes "Who is Sylvia" from Galt MacDermot's Two Gentleman of Verona and "I Don't Know How to Love Him" from Jesus Christ Superstar, all with a jazz/soul/funk groove that is as unique as it is unmistakable. Wild Horses Rock Steady is available for the first time ever on CD.
"The doctor of groove," as Lonnie Smith refers to himself, is most definitely in session on Mama Wailer, Smith's only CTI release that is available for the first time on CD. While known as a master of the Hammond B-3 organ, the title track features Smith on clavinet. A distinct departure from the fat sound of the B-3, Smith manages to make this electronic keyboard lay down a strong feeling of urban funk. Half of the album is made up of original compositions - the title track and "Hola Muneca" - the other half covers tracks popular from the time of the recording sessions - Carole King's "You've Got a Friend" and Sly and The Family Stone's "Stand." Several of the usual suspects from the CTI stable of sidemen - Grover Washington, Jr., Billy Cobham and Airto Moreira - make an appearance on some or all of the tracks.
Sony MASTERWORKS Jazz kicked off the 40th anniversary celebration with the release of CTI Records: The Cool Revolution, a deluxe 4-CD multi-artist box set retrospective in 2010. Receiving rave reviews The Associated Press dubbed it "...the most comprehensive anthology to date" and NPR said it was "... as striking a portrait of the Jazz World in the '70s as you'll find anywhere."
Also released in Fall 2010 was the double-CD restoration of California Concert: The Hollywood Palladium (1971) which included 90-minutes of music rarely heard and never before available. It is the most complete version of the historic Hollywood Palladium all-star concert recorded July 18, 1971. It doubles the content of the original five-song LP release with five additional tracks - three of them previously unreleased - and restores the original concert sequence for the first time. Creed Taylor hand-picked a dream team of CTI artists for the occasion: Freddie Hubbard, Hubert Laws, Hank Crawford, Stanley Turrentine, George Benson, Johnny Hammond, Ron Carter, Billy Cobham and Airto Moreira. Liner notes are by multi-Grammy winning musician-producer Bob Belden who says California Concert: The Hollywood Palladium "...ranks up there with the greatest jazz concerts of all time..."
The celebration also included reissues of 24 classic CTI albums: She Was Too Good To Me by Chet Baker, God Bless the Child by Kenny Burrell, Red Clay by Freddie Hubbard, Stone Flower by Antonio Carlos Jobim, Morning Star by Hubert Laws (first time on CD), Stanley Turrentine's Sugar, White Rabbit by George Benson, All Blues by Ron Carter (first time on CD in the U.S.), Prelude by Deodato, Pure Desmond by Paul Desmond, Concierto by Jim Hall, Milt Jackson's Sunflower, George Benson's Beyond the Blue Horizon, Freddie Hubbard's First Light, Giant Box by Don Sebesky, Stanley Turrentine's Salt Song, George Benson's Body Talk, Hubert Laws' In the Beginning, Freddie Hubbard's Straight Life, and Stanley Turrentine's Don't Mess with Mister T. Airto's Fingers, Jackie Cain & Roy Kral's A Wilder Alias, Joe Farrell's Outback and Randy Weston's Blue Moses are all available for the first time on CD.

Funerus have recently announced that the new 11 track album 'Reduced to Sludge' is set for release on November 22nd via Ibex Moon Records. 'Reduced to Sludge' will be the second full-length release from the Pennsylvania/New York based death metal band that features Incantation guitarist John McEntee, bassist/vocalist Jill McEntee and drummer Sam Inzerra (Mortician, Morpheus Descends).
The album was engineered by Sam Inzerra, Jim Roe and John McEntee. Drums and guitars were recorded at Neanderthal Studios in Plainfield, New Jersey and the bass and vocals were recorded at Aries Studio in Johnstown, PA. "Reduced To Sludge" was mixed and mastered by Dan Swano (Bloodbath, Dark Funeral, Dissection, Hail Of Bullets, Opeth), and the cover artwork was done by Dusty Peterson (Six Feet Under, Cattle Decapitation, Bloodbath). Funerus has also now made the track "Sound Of Oil" available for streaming through band's Facebook profile here.
Jill McEntee comments on the album, "I feel we were able to capture the natural Funerus essence on this album. It continues in the same vein of the first album Festering Earth, in heaviness and songwriting. I think it will be well received."
John Fogerty is the latest artist to join the trend of playing full versions of classic albums in concert but, with him, it's a special treat. For years, Fogerty was banned from playing his Creedence Clearwater Revival material due to a lawsuit with Fantasy Records owner Sal Zantz. Once that was settled, he began to mix CCR music into his sets and has just announced that he will play two of the group's albums in their entirety at November concerts.
NEW YORK, Oct. 3, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- New Yorkers joined together over the weekend to help millions of their less fortunate neighbors. Robin Hood – New York's largest private poverty-fighter -- announced today that combined VIP tickets sales and donations made via texts from Friday night's Black Eyed Peas concert in Central Park, donations on robinhood.org as well as ticket proceeds from Sting's 25th anniversary/60th birthday concert at the Beacon Theatre on Saturday night, raised more than $7 million to fight poverty in New York City. These funds will be earmarked to support food pantries, homeless shelters, health clinics and will provide jobs training for New Yorkers in need throughout the five boroughs.
On September 30, The Black Eyed Peas performed the largest charity concert ever held on the Great Lawn, with 60,000 in Central Park and thousands more watching live via web stream. Concert-goers participated in a variety of digital media efforts throughout -- including "text-to-donate", instagram, group-me and Twitter – to enter contests and enhance the sense of community and their enjoyment of the show. The "Concert 4 NYC" was presented by Chase, and was supported by Clear Channel's Elvis Duran and the Z100 Morning Show, Eventbrite and Calvin Klein Collection.
The following night -- on October 1 -- Sting generously donated proceeds from his all-star 25th anniversary/60th birthday concert at the Beacon Theatre to Robin Hood. Highlights of the show included incredible performances by Lady Gaga, Bruce Springsteen, will.i.am, Mary J. Blige, Stevie Wonder, Rufus Wainwright, and Billy Joel, among many others. In thanks for his many good works, prior to the show's kick-off, Mr. Saltzman presented Sting with a plaque naming the music room in the Robin Hood-funded KIPP NYC College Prep High School in his honor. The school is currently under construction in the South Bronx and due to be completed in late 2013.
William Shatner has recorded a cover of Black Sabbath's "Iron Man" and has released the in-studio footage of the session. The clip shows an animated Shatner laying down the vocals for the track, which was first released by Ozzy Osbourne and company in 1970.
The track is due to appear on the Star Trek actor's new album 'Seeking Major Tom,' a concept album album following David Bowie's Space Oddity character through a selection of suitably spacey covers from the former Captain Kirk. 'Seeking Major Tom' is out via Cleopatra Records on October 11.

One of those songs was called "Surfin'", which, when pressed on to a Candix Records 45 rpm disc, was credited to The Beach Boys, a name made up by promotion man Russ Reagan, who had taken it upon himself to re-christen the band. "Surfin'" would get to #75 on the Billboard chart and sold 50,000 copies, launching the career of one of America's most successful Rock 'n' Roll acts.
In 1964, the Animals' self-titled album entered the Billboard LP chart. It contained their #1 hit, "House Of The Rising Sun". The British album "The Animals" was released a month later with substantially differing contents.

Over the next few days the NBC switchboard in New York received thousands of calls denouncing O'Connor's performance. The network and the show's executive producer, Lorne Michaels, both denied any knowledge of O'Connor's plan and said she had performed the song differently in rehearsal.

"DESERT TRIP" FESTIVAL
Michael May 4, 2016
The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan and Paul McCartney are among the confirmed headliners at the classic rock festival Desert Trip.
The Who, Neil Young, Pink Floyd's Roger Waters will also perform at the three-day music fest, which will be held from Oct. 7 to Oct. 9 in Indio, Calif., at the Empire Polo Club — the site of the popular rock, rap and electro music-centric festival Coachella.
Desert Trip officially confirmed the news Tuesday. The festival will be presented by Goldenvoice, the promoters behind popular fests like Coachella, Stagecoach, Panorama and Firefly.
The inaugural Desert Trip will kick off with post-sunset performances by the Stones and Bob Dylan on Friday, followed by McCartney and Young on Saturday night. Waters and The Who will perform on Sunday, the final day of the music event.
When you cut through all the hype and promotion that surrounds this festival, I think it is still going to be landmark event for classic rock.
Roger Daltrey said in an interview with Postmedia Network "it's a fantastic idea for a festival. It's the greatest remains of our era. I'm glad we made it."
"It's so special in so many ways, because you won't get a chance to see a bill like this, perhaps ever again," Young's manager, Elliot Roberts, told the Times.
The concert's promoters, Goldenvoice, have proposed that Dylan and the Stones would open the weekend with a Friday set. Young with Promise of the Real would play before McCartney on Saturday. And the Who and Waters would close out the weekend that Sunday.
Flashback to Woodstock Aug. 15, 1969, the lineup included the late Richie Havens, Sweetwater, the Incredible String Band, Bert Sommer, Tim Hardin, Ravi Shankar, Melanie, Arlo Guthrie, Joan Baez. It also hosted several career-making moments — for Santana, Joe Cocker, and Crosby Still, Nash, & Young. Other highlights were the Who's early-morning show featuring 'Tommy' songs and Jimi Hendrix's volcanic festival-closing performance that included his iconic version of 'The Star-Spangled Banner.'
If you had bought a ticket in 1969 for Woodstock, it would have cost you only $18 for the 3 day event which is $124.02 in today's prices when you account for the inflation rate (Source The Bureau of Labor Statistic's consumer price index)
Compare that to the classic rock festival "Desert Trip" Three-day passes start at $399. Reserved tickets are available for the floor ($699, $999, $1,599), the grandstand ($999, $1,599) and the standing pit ($1,599).
I missed Woodstock because my first child was only 6 months old at the time and I was busy gigging locally with my own band. I will probably miss this one too because I have seen all the bands play before, but if I am on the west coast and some one offers me free tickets, I probably won't pass up the opportunity. By the way, artist managers never pay for tickets to someone else's show, that is just the protocol of the industry 🙂 I did, however, pay for a Who show back in the early 70's and it was money well spent. It was their original line up, lead singer Roger Daltrey, guitarist Pete Townshend, bass guitarist John Entwistle, and drummer Keith Moon.


Police have made a renewed appeal today (Friday, August 14) for information about an assault in St Leonards.
A group of men attacked the man in St Leonards in Magdalen Road at around 1.15pm on Monday, July 13 during a fight.
When police officers arrived the group had dispersed and after an extensive search the victim, a 26-year-old-man from the town, was found in Carisbrooke Road.
He was taken to hospital with serious injuries and has since been discharged.
Detective Police Constable Damien Cotgreave said: "This was a serious assault and we would like to speak with anyone who may have seen something suspicious before or after the attack.


DANVILLE — A program that helps senior citizens stay physically and socially active has classes packed at Danville's Ephraim McDowell Wellness Center.
The Healthways Silver Sneakers fitness program allows people who have health insurance through a participating plan and are Medicare-eligible to get a free gym membership.
Healthways, the company that administers Silver Sneakers, also provides various workout programs tailored for seniors. Classes in muscular strength, range of motion and yoga are currently available, with others in the works.
Dee Coffey, supervisor of member services at the wellness center, said enrollment already has far surpassed expectations since the program was initiated in September.
Many who already came to the wellness center on a regular basis have positive things to say about Silver Sneakers as well.
Jack Cody, a Danville physician, exercised several times a week, played golf and skied. However, he said he has found benefits from some of the new offerings.
"The yoga has really improved my golf, which is really more about flexibility than strength," Cody said.
The goals of Silver Sneakers are larger than firming and toning.
Phyllis Adams was an early advocate of bringing the program to the wellness center. After hearing that her Humana health insurance plan covered Silver Sneakers, she lobbied the staff for more than a year to participate in the program.
Although she already exercised regularly, Adams said the interaction that is fostered by Silver Sneakers is just as valuable. "It is so good socially, because it gets people out of the house to meet each other who probably never would have. I met someone through this who got me into basket weaving, which I really enjoy."


Formerly known as St. Helen's Young Wives Club, the group was formed in 1962 following a cheese and wine party held at the Rectory by Mrs Stanford. The name was later changed to St.Helen's Ladies Group to help encourage women of all ages to join.
The group is interdenominational, and new members are always made welcome. The annual subscription is at present £7 and meetings are held on the first Wednesday of each month in the Sir Joseph Whitworth Room of the Whitworth Centre, Darley Dale.
Donations have been made over the years to many well known causes at both National and local level and have included: The Ambulance Heart Start Appeal, The Northern General Hospital, The Whitworth Hospital, Barnardo's, The Crossroads Care Scheme, Ashgate Hospice, Cystic Fibrosis, The Victim Support Scheme, The Across Trust, Aquabox, the Tsunami Appeal and The Mission Aviation Fellowship.
Should anyone wish to know more about the group, please email us.

Q: Changing the data type in java The title seems common, but I can't find answers on other related questions. Our prof tasked to complete the source code he provided us. We are working on a phonebook. This phonebook have two separate classes namely Contact and PhoneBook. Here is the incomplete code for the PhoneBook.
public class PhoneBook {

  Contact contact[] = new Contact[10];
  int size = 10, capacity = 0;

  public PhoneBook(int capacity) {
    capacity++;
  }

  public boolean add(Contact newContact) {
    if (capacity < 11) {
      contact[capacity] = newContact;
      return true;
    } else {
      return false;
    }
  }

  public boolean delete(Contact contact) {
    //fill-in code
    return false;
  }

  public boolean update(Contact oldContact, Contact updatedContact) {
    boolean found = false;
    for (int i = 0; i < capacity; i++) {
      // fill-in code
    }
    return found;
  }

  public Contact search(String name) {
    for (int i = 0; i < capacity; i++) {
      // fill-in code
      // you may use the string.toLowerCase() and
      // string.equals(anotherstring) methods to check
      // the equality of two strings
    }
    return null;
  }

  public int getSize() {
    return this.size;
  }

  public Contact[] getContacts() {
    return this.contacts;
  }

  public int getCapacity() {
    return this.capacity;
  }
}

My problem is the method public Contact search(String name). We were told to check the equality of the strings in order to match the search of names in a phonebook, also to execute the delete method, updateContact and such. But, the variable name is a String type and the variable contact is a Contact type array. This is the contact class.
public class Contact {

  String name;
  String contactNumber;

  public Contact(String name, String contactNumber) {
    this.name = name;
    this.contactNumber = contactNumber;
  }

  public String toString() {
    return "Name: " + name + ", Contact No: " + contactNumber;
  }

  public String getName() {
    return this.name;
  }

  public String getNumber() {
    return this.contactNumber;
  }
}

If I included the whole phonebook source code here it will be too long. I just need to compare name and contact but I can't because they are of different types. What shall I do?

A: Every time you create a contact, you will have something like this to instantiate a new contact object:
Contact contact = new Contact("Alice", contactNumber);

Also, in your class, you have a getName() method defined. If you assign a otherName variable, as follows, it will return the value "Alice" for you.
String otherName = contact.getName();

You can verify this by either debugging or by adding a print statement.
So to verify equality in these two objects, you can just run name.equals(otherName) which returns true or false.
However, since this is case-sensitive, you can instead use one of the following approaches:

*

*name.equalsIgnoreCase(otherName)

*name.toLowerCase().equals(otherName.toLowerCase())
In my opinion, the first is cleaner, but based on the comments you may have to use the latter, which I find less readable.
Another approach here would be: Objects.equals(name.toLowerCase(), otherName.toLowerCase()).

A: contact[i].name is a String type.
I guess you should to try this:
public Contact search(String name){
        for(int i = 0; i < capacity; i++){
        if (contact[i].name.equals(name)) {
        ...your code...
        }

Don't forget ".toLowerCase()".

When asked to think of the converse of 'peace', you maybe minded to say 'violence', with images of physical harm or war in far off lands coming to mind. Yet violence exists in many forms, and the seeds exist all around us – even in relatively peaceful societies such as ours. This session will explore the concept of 'peace education' and how it can be applied to the working with Children & Young People across a variety of professional settings. By looking at how 'violence' is multi-dimensional, it is hoped that you will see the benefits of incorporating peace educational practices into your professional role in a way which will holistic, positive wellbeing outcomes for the children and young people you work with.

On the morning of your wedding you are probably going to feel a little stressed, so it might take the pressure off if you hire a professional who will visit you at your house or wedding venue.
It's important to arrange a trial before the big day and this is where you can take along photos and discuss ideas. Hairstyles can be created especially for you whether you want a red carpet look, tussled and natural or elegant and timeless.
It's especially important that you wear high definition make-up with durability and a long-lasting finish on your big day, so that no touch-ups are required during the day.
Don't panic – a professional should know exactly what you need as soon as they meet you. When I'm working on photo shoots or television commercials in London I get a quick brief and just have to work my magic!
I always warn brides about changing their skincare regime too close to their wedding day, as there's always a risk of breaking out as your skin adapts to change. But one product I have started offering – because it creates amazing results – is an Age Loc Facial.
The first treatment should be around the time of booking and securing your date, to ensure we get the correct tailor-made skincare advice especially for you. A good facial is the foundation to your make-up.
The Age Loc Facial lifts, hydrates and makes your skin radiant and younger looking. Fine lines vanish and it's perfect for plumping the skin on your face, neck and décolleté. It's really popular with brides, mums and even the groom!
You can also help your skin look the best it can by drinking lots of water during the months before your big day. It sounds basic, but it really will help to keep your skin clear and your eyes bright.
Make sure your eyebrows are well-groomed as they frame your face. If they need shaping or even a tidy-up, try eyebrow threading as this lasts longer than plucking and you'll have instantly well-groomed brows. It hurts a bit, but no pain no gain, especially for your wedding!
I also offer Noveau Lash semi-permanent extensions, which really open up a bride's eyes. These aren't the thick, heavy lashes you apply to your eyelid with globs of sticky glue.
These are dainty and elegant, individual lashes which won't leave you looking like Lady Gaga.
They look amazing on camera and completely natural in the photographs, they really are the cream de la cream of eye lashes. They look like you've gone through your mascara with a pin. We apply them a couple of days before your wedding and they will last throughout your honeymoon – we just need to meet up again to remove them when you get back. And since they are virtually weightless you won't know they are there!
If you are considering doing your own make-up why not have a lesson? Make-up lessons are very in depth and give you inspiration, knowledge and guidance. I have given make up lessons to ladies between the ages of 13 - 60. Anyone can benefit but they are especially useful for overseas brides, who can also benefit from climate tips and techniques.
All brides want to achieve fresh-faced flawless skin, bright big eyes and perfect cheeks and lips. The right skin care, high definition make-up and hair will accentuate favourite features and make a bride feel every bit as special as she is.
