'Mixing piety and pleasure with aplomb'
The former offices of the Baptist Union of Great Britain have been transformed into a boutique hotel in Central London
L'oscar in Southampton Row, Holborn, opened for bookings last week (13 June) with many of its period features intact and its rooms and corridors lavishly restored.
L'oscar is based in the former Baptist Church House, a Grade II-listed building which was built between 1901 and 1903 and housed the offices of our Union until the move to Didcot in 1989. The building was originally sold to London Underground in order to make a new entrance to Holborn Tube Station for Crossrail, the scheme to build two new railway lines across London. However, Crossrail in that incarnation did not come about and the building lay unoccupied for many years.
That changed when, looking for a hotel property, French architect and designer Jacques Garcia and the present owner discovered the abandoned building while walking around London.
'I fell in love with the 19th-century architecture straight away,' Jacques told Conde Nast Traveller. 'And within minutes I knew how it would look, how to make this marvellous base sublime.'
Original architect Arthur Keen mixed 'Wrenaissance' style with arts and crafts influences, partnering some of the best artists and craftsmen of the time to create much of the exterior and interior design of ornately plastered ceilings, carved fireplaces, oak panelling, and finely worked plaques. Many Baptists took 'considerable pride' in the centre, with its panelled oak Council Chamber and other fine features, historian Ian Randall told The Baptist Times when news of the building's sale emerged in 2012.
Work on the refurbishment subsequently began approximately six years ago, and the new owners worked closely with English Heritage and Camden Council to ensure a sensitive restoration.
It means much of those striking original features remain, which speak not just of the building's architecture but also its Baptist past. A bust of John Bunyan continues to cast its eye over Southampton Row from the corner of the building; the committee room, now an intimate events space, contains a fireplace with an original terracotta carving of a scene from Bunyan's The Pilgrims Progress.
A mezzanine floor has been incorporated into the striking former Council Chamber, the 1903 octagonal chapel with glass dome, and this now houses the hotel's restaurant The Baptist Grill, and the Baptist Bar below (pictured).
The library is the hotel's largest events space, and retains its oak panelled shelves, once filled with literature of the Baptist church. There are 39 rooms in total.
The name pays tribute to both the Irish writer Oscar Wilde (one of the mottos of L'oscar is a Wilde quote: 'Every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future') and to the glamour of the American Oscar awards ceremony. Hotelier Duncan Shakeshaft says: 'A hotel 'is essentially a theatre, with staff and guests playing their parts. It is a performance of the utmost quality, with every detail considered for the enjoyment of the guest and to enhance the harmony of the whole.'
The irony of the transformation of 'the turn-of-the-century Baptist Church Headquarters into a boutique hotel dripping in opulent finishes' was highlighted in the Robb Report's review of the new hotel.... which concluded:
'Instead of masking its ecclesiastical roots, the property's developers, led by famed architect and interior designer Jacques Garcia and hotelier Duncan Shakeshaft, have exploited them to an ultra-stylish end—mixing piety and pleasure with aplomb.'

L'elecció papal de 1154 es va celebrar després de la mort del papa Anastasi IV i va acabar amb l'elecció del papa Adrià IV, l'únic anglès que ha esdevingut papa.

El papa Anastasi IV va morir el 3 de desembre de 1154 a Roma, en edat avançada. El Col·legi Cardenalici es va reunir a la Basílica de Sant Pere del Vaticà l'endemà per elegir el seu successor. El 4 de desembre de 1154 els cardenals van elegir per unanimitat el cardenal bisbe d'Albano Nicholas Breakspeare, ex legat a Escandinàvia (1152-1153). Va prendre el nom d'Adrià IV i fou coronat el 5 de desembre de 1154 a la Basílica del Vaticà. És l'únic papa anglès de la història.

Probablement hi havia 30 cardenals al Col·legi Cardenalici a principis del desembre de 1154 segons Brixius. No obstant Zenker apunta que el cardenal prevere Gregorio of S. Maria in Trastevere i el cardenal bisbe Gregorio of Sabina eren la mateixa persona i que el cardenal prevere Giovanni Paparoni of S. Lorenzo in Damaso i Jordan of S. Susanna foren exclosos perquè ambdós haurien mort abans que Anastasi IV. Tot això sembla indicar que no hi havia més de 25 participants en l'elecció.

Cinc dels electors van ser creats pel papa Innocenci II, quatre per Celestí II, cinc per Luci II i onze per Eugeni III. Almenys cinc cardenals no van participar en aquesta elecció. El cardenal Giacinto Bobone estava a Espanya en aquest moment, ja que va ser el legat del papa des de la primavera del 1154 fins al final del 1155. El cardenal Odone Bonecase era legat a França durant el 1154 i el 1155. Gerard de Namur era legat a Alemanya, i Ildebrando a la Llombardia. Abbot Rainaldo of Montecassino no residia a la Cúria Romana.

IPA Review Editorial, January 2008
It's not too often that we can look enviously at the political state of a country buried deep in the European Union. Brussels is not just the capital of Belgium, but it is also the de facto capital of the EU, hosting the European Commission, the Council of the European Union, the European Council and one of the seats of the European Parliament.
So it is either fitting or ironic (I can't figure out which) that Belgium has now been, for more than six months, without a government to call its own. As we quietly recover from the shrill hangover of the 2007 federal election, it's worth considering how Australia could have been if no government had been successfully elected in November.
Since the 10th of June, Belgian politicians have been — at least as this edition of the IPA Review goes to press — unable to form a government coalition. This failure is the result of the adversarial relationship between French and Dutch speaking political classes, in particular, from the demand by Flemish nationalists for more autonomy over taxation and welfare policy in Flanders (a region that has traditionally favoured centre right parties; the francophone region of Wallonia appropriately prefers their politics to have a more socialistic flavour.) The former government remains in power, but only in a caretaker capacity, and the semi-former prime minister is set to step down once a replacement government is available.
Sure, not having a government has its disadvantages. The great economic reforms which have propelled Australia up the ranks of economic performance would not be possible from a government that couldn't get out of caretaker mode. Similarly, the important reforms Australia needs — workplace changes which deliver deregulation rather than centralisation, the sale of remaining government enterprises, reform of communications and occupational safety regulation, corporate and financial services deregulation, and so on — all require a rather active government.
But on the positive side of the ledger, having no government also means having a government that can't mess things up. Governments cannot extend their reach into the economy without a capacity to legislate. Indeed, as Belgium is a central member of the EU, no government also means no government able to increase its international obligations. As the Flemish free-marketeer Paul Belian has written, the inability of the Belgian Parliament to approve European Commission directives means that 'in its hour of ungovernability Belgium is now more sovereign than it has been in the past 50 years.'
This special edition of the IPA Review arrives in newsagencies and letterboxes at a significant moment for the cause of limited government and open society in Australia. At the dramatic end of a nominally liberal/conservative government, we have assembled the nation's best liberal and conservative commentators to try to describe the legacy of the Howard government and the causes of its demise. But more importantly, this IPA Review engages with the question—what next for liberalism? Has the cause of liberty advanced or retreated over the last decade? What are the next steps?
This edition also contains the full complement of non-election related commentary. Sam Gregg engages with Christian leaders who would ignore or reject free market economics for a socialist Christianity, Paul Monk holds anti-nuclear campaigners up to the harsh light of logic, and Chris Murn tries to host a Christmas street party. Pieces by Alan Moran, as well as Sinclair Davidson, Alex Robson and Chris Textor, dig further behind the claims of price-fixing by Visy and Amcor and reveal that not every criminal has committed a crime.
Even without a functioning government, Belgian government services continue to be delivered. Rubbish is still collected, social security payments are provided—even, as Paul Belian points out, taxes continue to be collected. While the government is in caretaker mode, government activity cannot be reduced, but neither can it be extended. As a result, the promises of more pork and populist extensions of middle class welfare which characterise Australian federal election campaigns may, indeed, obscure the fact that when the federal government is in caretaker mode for the election, that could be the best six weeks that government ever has. Cynics should hope for stalemate and inertia.

Comparison of propofol-alfentanil and propofol-remifentanil anaesthesia in percutaneous nephrolithotripsy
Cicek M., Koroglu A., Demirbilek S., Teksan H., Ersoy M.
EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ANAESTHESIOLOGY, cilt.22, ss.683-688, 2005 (SCI İndekslerine Giren Dergi)
Dergi Adı: EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ANAESTHESIOLOGY
Background and objective: Percutaneous nephrolithotripsy (PCNL) is used for the fragmentation and removal of stones from the renal pelvis and renal calyceal systems. We compared the effects of propofol-alfentanil or propofol-remifentanil anaesthesia on haemodynamics, recovery characteristics and postoperative analgesic requirements during percutaneous nephrolithotripsy. Methods: Thirty non-premedicated patients were randomly allocated to receive either propofol-alfentanil (Group A) or propofol-remifentanil (Group R). The loading dose of the study drug was administered over 60 s (alfentanil 10 mu g kg(-1) or remifentanil 1 mu g kg(-1)) followed by a continuous infusion (alfentanil 15 mu g kg(-1) h(-1) or remifentanil 0.15 mu g kg(-1) min(-1)). Propofol was administered until loss of consciousness and maintained with a continuous infusion of 75 mu g kg(-1) min(-1) in both groups. Atracuriurn was given for endotracheal intubation at a dose of 0.5 mg kg(-1) and maintained with a continuous infusion of 0.4 mg kg(-1) h(-1) Mean arterial pressure heart rate, the total amount of propofol, time of recovery of spontaneous ventilation, extubation and eye opening in response to verbal stimulus and analgesic requirement were recorded. Results: In Group A, mean arterial pressure was higher at the first minute in the prone position, and during skin incision and lithotripsy, and heart rate was higher during skin incision and lithotripsy when compared with Group R (P < 0.05). The total amount of propofol did not differ between groups. Time of recovery of spontaneous ventilation, extubation and eye opening were significantly shorter in Group R than Group A (P < 0.05). Conclusions: Both propofol-remifentanil and propofol-alfentanil anaesthesia provided stable haemodynamics during percutaneous nephrolithotripsy, whereas propofol-remifentanil allowed earlier extubation.

Q: jQuery.mmenu dragOpen disable dragging at desktop jQuery.mmenu uses Hammer.js for dragging, in the docs jQuery.mmenu says

Hammer.js enables dragging on touch and desktop devices. If you only want to enable dragging the menu open on touchscreens, use the $.mmenu.support.touch variable.

I definitely want to disable dragging for desktops and use it's behaviour only at mobile. It says i shoud use $.mmenu.support.touch to do so. But how to use it? I've tried all possible scenarios, used any type there, placed it before and after plugin initialisation, but without luck.
How to use $.mmenu.support.touch to disable opening menu by mouse dragging on desktops?

A: I was looking for an answer to this too and figured it out just now.
This is my whole configuration.
$(document).ready(function(){
                    $("#mmenu-left").mmenu(
                        {
                            extensions: ["theme-dark"],
                            dragOpen: { open: ($.mmenu.support.touch?true:false) }
                        },
                        {
                            offCanvas: {
                                pageSelector: "#thepage"
                            }
                        }
                    );
            });

This is the part for that enables dragopen only on touch devices:
dragOpen: { open: ($.mmenu.support.touch?true:false) }

Lexington County roads experiences several serious wrecks over the weekend
Lexington County, SC – Lexington County EMS and fire service personnel dealt with several serious car accidents over the weekend. In at least two cases, firefighters had to utilize the Jaws of Life to extricate victims who were trapped in the crumpled wreckage of their vehicles.
On Friday evening, a terrible wreck trapped two near the intersection of Hwy. 321 south and Old Wire Road between Gaston and Cayce. Firefighters from Gaston, Swansea, and South Congaree responded as did field level supervisors from both EMS and the fire service.
EMS personnel evaluated the patients while the fire crews used the hydraulic rescue tools to cut the patients from the twisted wreckage. Because of the seriousness of the injuries to the victims, the Lifenet helicopter was requested.
Firefighters from another fire station set up the landing zone for the helicopter close by as the patients were being extricated and packaged for transport. The most seriously injured was flown to the trauma center at Palmetto Health Richland for treatment. The second trapped patient was eventually freed and was transported by ground to a local hospital for treatment as well.
As of this writing, there were no reports on the condition of the individuals that were injured in the crash. The SC Highway Patrol is investigating its cause.
On Saturday night, another crash forced emergency personnel to close Calks Ferry Road where it intersects with Nazareth Road in the Boiling Springs area of the county. The call for help came in at approximately 7:00 p.m.
When firefighters from the county's Boiling Springs fire station arrived on the scene, the found one car overturned and off in the woods. There was a patient trapped in that wreckage.
Once again, the firefighters had to deploy their hydraulic rescue equipment to free the person that was trapped by the wreckage of the car. While they were working on this, the rescuers from EMS attended to the patient and prepared for transport.
The victim of this wreck was transported to a local medical facility to be treated for injuries sustained in the crash. Troopers from the SC Highway Patrol are investigating its cause.

Launch trailer for 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2' video game released
Josh Wilding
A new launch trailer for Beenox's highly anticipated video game tie-in to The Amazing Spider-Man 2 has been released, and it offers up a first look at both Carnage and Shocker, along with plenty of other great action!
The game is released this Monday, and as well as the new preview above, you can find the synopsis and details on the platforms it will be available on below.
In The Amazing Spider-Man 2, players once again assume the role of the iconic Super Hero in a unique side-story inspired by the feature film but set in its own continuity. Throughout his journey, Spider-Man will encounter a number of new foes as well as some old friends, as he confronts a new threat to his beloved city. The narrative will give Peter Parker, Spider-Man's nerdy photojournalist persona, a greater role in the spotlight, as he investigates the complicated motivations and unique personalities behind the menagerie of Marvel menaces threatening Manhattan.
As Spidey, players will be able to free-roam through a greatly-enhanced Manhattan cityscape, one set to offer livelier, more engaging opportunities with which to put his sensational skills to use. Central to the expansive depth and detail being poured into The Amazing Spider-Man 2 video game is the new "Hero or Menace" system, which incentivizes Super Hero behavior by rewarding the web-slinger's crime-fighting efforts, and adds consequences for letting criminality fester. Spider-Man's personal brand of web-swinging and up-close-and-personal combat will see a variety of new features as well.
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 video game is set to be released for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox One*, Xbox 360, Wii U, PC, and 3DS on April 29th, 2014.
*The Xbox One version has been delayed, and may not even end up being released.

UFT: Value-added ratings don't accurately measure quality
By Maura Walz - December 6, 2010
Laying out its case for why the courts should stop the Bloomberg administration from releasing teacher effectiveness ratings, the city teachers union described the ratings as internal, incomplete, and riddled with flaws
The union is trying to block the city from releasing the names and ratings of nearly 12,000 teachers, arguing that releasing them would be an invasion of teachers' privacy.
The bulk of the materials filed today were prepared by United Federation of Teachers researcher Jackie Bennett and are intended to show that the data reports are inaccurate.
"The UFT's review of the TDR's has revealed that a large portion of the reports received are materially flawed as they have been calculated based on errors in student lists," Bennett writes.
"In addition, most of the flaws identified came from the most recent year's TDRs, for which information was slightly less opaque and memories were fresher," she continues. "Yet, the TDRs contain three more years of historical student lists and information, lumped in aggregate numbers. The UFT found it very difficult, if not impossible, to penetrate that information, even in a superficial manner."
The union has been encouraging teachers to report errors on their reports since city officials announced in October that they intended to release the reports publicly. To support Bennett's argument, the union filed nearly 20 examples of individual data reports that it says show errors.
The union also filed affidavits today from two academic experts on testing and evaluation — Henry Braun of Boston College and Derek Briggs of the University of Colorado, Boulder — who argue that the value-added model used by the city does not accurately measure teacher effectiveness.
"Although TDRs may have a role as a quantitative component in the enhancement of teacher performance, their usefulness is limited and they certainly should not be utilized to make direct causal attributions of teacher effectiveness," Braun writes.
The city has argued in its own court filings that the data reports are records of teachers' performance as public employees, and thus teachers do not have the right to keep them private. Five news organizations have joined the city to argue that the reports are not protected by the Freedom of Information Law.
The city and union are expected to make their cases before a Manhattan judge on Wednesday.

A pergola is a freestanding or attached outdoor structure that is supported with columns and has an open or latticed roof. As with a pavilion or gazebo, a pergola enhances the landscape surrounding it and can be used to entertain guests outdoors. If you're interested in buying one, consider purpose, space, and structure, pick from different styles and materials, and finally install and accessorize your pergola.
Decide what you intend to use your pergola for. Pergolas are available in either freestanding or attached versions. Knowing the purpose of your pergola should help you figure out how much shade and privacy you'll need. Use this information to determine which structure and location will be best for you.
Small freestanding pergolas can be placed in a garden and used like a trellis to grow vines upon. Larger freestanding pergolas can be used like gazebos.
Pick a shady location to put your pergola if you're using it to cover a dining area or hot tub.
Look into local regulations. Go online and look into permit requirements and local building laws before you buy your pergola. Depending on your area, there may be restrictions on where and how you can build your pergola legally. You may find that you have to obtain a construction permit in order to install your pergola.
Living in a bushfire-prone area, for example, may significantly limit your material options.
Consider your roofing and shading options. Once you've decided on your pergola's purpose, as well as whether or not you intend to grow climbing plants on it, you'll need to think about how close together your rafters should be. More rafters set tighter together at perpendicular angles provide more shade, but less space for vegetation to grow into.
A latticed roof is the best, most cost-efficient option if you want to maximize shade and privacy under your pergola.
Measure the area to determine the size you should get. As pergolas are rectangular structures, you need to define the length and width of the pergola you want, whether you decide to get a freestanding or attached one.
Factor in the size of your yard. It might look silly or odd to have a tiny pergola in a giant yard or a huge pergola in a small space.
If you're putting your pergola on an existing patio, measure the length and width of the patio's surface.
Decide how you'd like to attach your posts. It's very important that your pergola is secure. You can either secure the pergola posts on a concrete slab or by sticking them into the ground. When deciding this, it's best to keep in mind what you'd like to use the pergola for.
If you plan to secure the posts by putting them into the ground, make sure that you purchase a pergola with posts that stand slightly taller than you want.
Go natural with a wooden pergola. Choose to get a pergola made of wood if you want to enhance the natural environment. Wood is always a safe choice for any outdoor setting, because it easily fits in.
A cedar pergola will repel insects, repel water, give off a nice aroma, and resist decay.
Redwood pergolas are desirable because of their strength and attractive appearance.
If you've got a higher budget, go with pressure treated oak, fir, pine, or bamboo.
Get a metal pergola to add antique or modern flair. Depending on the type of metal you choose, metal pergolas can accentuate a variety of styles, including both traditional and more modern. Go with either wrought iron, aluminum, or steel.
Wrought iron pergolas are typically both the most expensive and most ornate choice.
Choose steel if you want your pergola to stand strong for a long period of time.
Aluminum pergolas are popular because they're inexpensive, sturdy, and lightweight.
Choose vinyl as an easy, lightweight, affordable option. In recent years, vinyl has become a more popular material choice. Vinyl is cheaper, more lightweight, and easier to clean than the other options. You would only have to spray down a vinyl pergola with a garden hose from time to time to keep it looking good, and you won't have to worry about any cracks forming.
Most vinyl pergolas are white, but you can also find them in gray, tan, and other colors.
Make a statement with a Tuscan style pergola. If you're wanting to add a "wow" factor to your yard, consider getting a Tuscan style pergola. Its large, round pillars and stone material leave a lavish impression on guests.
The stone material makes this style an expensive option, so if you're working with a small budget, consider getting a Tuscan style that uses materials other than the traditional stone.
Complement your koi pond with a Japanese style. If you already have a koi pond or a small asian-inspired garden, then a Japanese style pergola would be a great choice. This style is characterized by its wooden beams that curve upward, similar to many other pieces of Japanese architecture.
Add handmade charm to your backyard with an Amish pergola. Go for an Amish pergola if you appreciate one-of-a-kind quality woodwork. If you get this style, your pergola will have a distinct grain and coloration unlike any other, and will provide a quaint addition to your yard.
Create height with an arched pergola. Arched pergolas are both stylish and functional. If you want a bigger pergola used as both an impressive focal point and for functional coverage, this may be the best option.
Customize the details of your pergola. Especially if you're wanting a specific, unique pergola that you can't just assemble with a kit, you'll need to make a note of each and every detail. Decide on the size of the corner posts, the size of the lattices, and how much the pergola's roof should overhang the corner posts.
This is especially necessary if you're wanting a very large, very small, or uniquely shaped (round or triangular) pergola.
Keep in mind that customization prices add up quickly.
Install your pergola yourself. Pergola kits include all the materials you'll need to assemble your pergola in a short time. The posts and latticework are usually already pre-cut to the lengths you need and notched for quick assembly. You will pay more, however, for this convenience, and you will need to have the tools necessary to assemble it.
This option will save you a little bit of money because you won't have to pay for labor.
If you already have the tools and experience necessary to completely construct the pergola yourself, you can instead build the pergola from scratch.
Hire a professional to install your pergola. You can custom-design a pergola using an online retailer's web-based design tools. You'll be asked about the architecture of your home and offered options to design a pergola that fits with the architecture. Depending on the options you choose, a custom-design pergola can cost about the same as a prefabricated kit or significantly more than one.
Add accessories to your pergola. Lighting, ceiling fans, and awnings can all add to a pergola's attractiveness and usefulness. However, these accessories each come with an extra cost. Some accessories require supporting materials, such as solar panels or electric wiring, that may impact where you can place your pergola or how it should be designed in order to accommodate them.
If you plan on using your pergola to entertain guests at night, add in a lighting feature to enhance the ambiance.
Can I secure a pergola by just anchoring the support beams to my cement patio?
Yes, you can secure a pergola to an already existing cement patio. The best way to do this is with hammer set fasteners. You can also secure a pergola to a wooden deck by using 90 degree strap brackets.
How much do pergolas cost?
The price of a pergola depends on several different factors, including the size and material it's made out of. Installing the pergola yourself will knock the price down a little. Typically, pergolas cost between $2,000 and $8,000.
Certain plants are better to use than others if you intend for your garden plants to climb the pergola like a trellis. Good suggestions include grape vines, clematis, hops, and honeysuckle.
Depending upon the size of pergola and the materials used, your pergola may cost anywhere from $1000-$5000 USD to construct. Consider the cost of maintenance and upkeep as well before deciding if a pergola is right for you.

Warriors' Draymond Green has to be extra…
Warriors' Draymond Green has to be extra careful in Game 6
If Warriors' Draymond Green gets a technical in Game 6, he would be suspended for Game 7 against Raptors
By Matt Schneidman | mschneidman@bayareanewsgroup.com | Bay Area News Group
PUBLISHED: June 12, 2019 at 4:04 pm | UPDATED: June 13, 2019 at 3:25 am
OAKLAND — Draymond Green vowed he had changed – for himself, for his son, for his team.
After accumulating four technical fouls before Game 6 of the Western Conference Semifinals – seven in the playoffs earns a one-game suspension – Green hated what he saw when he watched tape, a player pouting, complaining and wasting energy on things he couldn't change. His son, Draymond Jr., just two and a half years old, started acting like Dad when he doesn't get a call around the house. Green didn't like that, either, so he made a concerted effort to tone down the on-court theatrics.
Green went the next eight games without receiving a technical foul, entering Game 4 of the NBA Finals still three away from a suspension.
In the clear, right?
Green has picked up a technical foul in each of the last two games and now sits at six entering Thursday's Game 6. If he adds a seventh and the Warriors beat the Raptors to force Game 7 in Toronto on Sunday, Green wouldn't play.
"I'm very aware," Green said. "It's not that tough (to avoid a technical). Just play the game."
According to NBA rules, Green would be fined $2,000 if he attended Game 7 at Scotiabank Arena while suspended, though extensive arena security would make it near impossible for Green to even get in.
Green picked up his fifth playoff technical in the third quarter of Game 4 with the Warriors trailing, 64-63. He drove to the hoop against Pascal Siakam and lost the ball out of bounds. Green thought he was fouled, but referee Eric Lewis, officiating his first NBA Finals game, granted the Raptors possession. Green screamed right in Lewis' face, making Lewis' decision to give Green a technical an easy one.
In Game 5 on Monday, referee Jason Phillips called Green for his third personal foul on Kyle Lowry's reverse layup attempt late in the second quarter. Green threw his hands in the air and knocked the ball away in frustration, earning his sixth technical foul this postseason.
Emotions will run high on Thursday given the Warriors face elimination for the second straight game, the final one ever at Oracle Arena. Green, more so than anyone else who will be on the court, has shown a tendency to let those emotions get the best of him. Even so, he insisted the circumstances surrounding the game won't heighten his emotions.
"You've got to go win the game. Trying to take extra emotion or whatever it is into the game ain't going to help you win it," Green said. "There's enough motivation to get to a Game 7 and try and win another championship."
This postseason Green has averaged 13.4 points, 9.7 rebounds, 8.3 assists, 1.5 blocks and 1.4 steals per game as the most well-rounded player on the Warriors, who are already down Kevin Durant for the series after he ruptured his Achilles in Game 5. Losing Green for Game 7 would be detrimental to their hopes for a three-peat.

How the Warriors got their groove back — three keys to Golden State's three straight wins
Green has been suspended once before in the Finals. After hitting LeBron James in the groin area late in the Warriors' Game 4 win in 2016, Green later received a flagrant 1. It was Green's fourth flagrant foul point of the 2016 postseason, earning him a suspension for Game 5. The Warriors, who led the series 3-1 after Game 4, lost Game 5 without Green and later became the first team ever to blow a 3-1 series lead in the Finals as the Cavaliers won the 2016 title.
Green was handed his 15th technical foul in the regular season on March 29 against the Timberwolves, leaving him one shy of a one-game suspension. He went the final seven games of the regular season without receiving a technical, and now he'll have to exercise similar restraint in case the Warriors force Game 7.

Whether you're purchasing your first home or your fifth, it's an exciting time that can also be quite overwhelming. From getting your finances in order, figuring out your price range, researching listings and locations, and going on a search with your realtor, the process seems never-ending. But you finally found it, the home of your dreams, and all of those necessary home buying steps fade away. Unfortunately, in this moment, a lot of buyer's forget one last thing they need to do— get a home inspection of the house before finalizing the deal!
In this post, we'll be discussing the importance of buyer's home inspections in Knoxville, and why it is a crucial step in the process. If you're on the search for a new home or close to buying one, don't forget to contact us today to a schedule a home inspection!
While many sellers will get a home inspection for their own peace of mind and protection before potential buyers begin making offers, sometimes they forego this and just rely on the facade of the home. Beyond the welcoming curb appeal and cleanliness, there might be many potential repairs or safety hazards within that won't be seen by a buyer caught up in the moment.
This is also true for new construction homes. Many people believe that just because a residence is brand new there's no need for a home inspection. But this is not the case. Even new homes might have wiring, plumbing, and structural problems that aren't immediately evident.
It's important to protect yourself, financially and physically, when buying a home and getting a home inspection before buying.
One of the most advantageous benefits of getting a buyer's home inspection is the ability to negotiate. If our home inspectors find anything within the house during our inspection that might require you to spend money, you'll have the upper hand to negotiate the asking price. If you're writing out a contract, you'll also be able to put in a clause stating that if anything is found during the inspection you have the right to back out.
Along with negotiations come seller's repairs. More often than not, home buying contracts contain information requiring the seller to pay for the repairs, and if they refuse, the amount that will be spent can be deducted from the asking price.
Not only will a home buyer's inspection save you money, but it will also help ensure the safety of you and your loved ones before moving into your new home. Our home inspectors will be able to find any potential hazards or problems in the house so that you don't find it on your own later on. If you're about to buy a home, don't forget to get a home inspection before finalizing it! Not only do we provide home buyer's inspections, but an array of home inspection services including mold testing, radon testing, asbestos inspection, and more. Be sure to contact us today.

The Iron Age
Anglo-Saxon Birmingham
The Vikings
Norman Birmingham
Medieval Birmingham
Tudor Birmingham
Stuart Birmingham and the Civil War
Georgian Birmingham
The 1791 Riots
Victorian Birmingham
The 20th Century
600 BC -
For 500 years until Roman times, Celtic tribes originally from the region around Slovakia came to Britain from mainland Europe. Celtic smiths had learned to use charcoal to make fire hot enough to smelt iron, a metal much tougher than bronze. Iron axes, iron sickles, iron-tipped ploughs made farming easier. And an iron sword is far harder than a bronze weapon.
It was Celtic people who gave this island the name, Britain. They had called their predecessors, the indigenous people, 'the painted people', in Celtic pretanni, deriving later as 'Britons.' However, it was the Celts who were later referred to as Britons by the Romans.
Limited historical information exists about the Iron Age. Roman written sources describe the Celts as tribally organised, mutually hostile and based on local centres of power. These local centres were often hillforts which could house up to 1000 inhabitants and which were surrounded by farming estates. They would have been the power base of a local tribal chieftain. There are hillforts which are known to have been occupied for over 500 years. Classic examples are Maiden Castle and Hambledon Hill in Dorset. The majority of the population farmed in the countryside, living in tiny villages and isolated farmsteads and this must have been the case in the Birmingham area. Their wooden-framed buildings were generally round with a central post and thatched roof almost to the ground; some houses and villages were enclosed by hedges or moats.
There are over twenty Iron Age hillforts within a 30-mile radius of Birmingham, although few have been excavated. The nearest is Berry Mound at Solihull Lodge; there are others at Wychbury Hill near Hagley, Castle Old Fort near Wall and Castle Ring on Cannock Chase. Barr Beacon, the highest point in West Midlands County may well have been a hillfort. Unlike the very old hillforts of Wessex and the Welsh Marches, these hillforts seem to have been built relatively quickly by local clan chieftains to fight the Romans and were probably not occupied for long. However, the number of hillforts constructed seems to indicate that the Celtic population was strong enough to offer organised resistance to the Roman advance, even though this may have been short-lived and unsuccessful.
Berry Mound stands at Solihull Lodge between Peterbrook Road and Truemans Heath Lane. This hillfort was built about 500 BC in an oval shape oval. Covering an area of some 41/2 hectares, it was surrounded by a ditch and bank which would have had a palisade on top. Although badly damaged by farming activity in the 19th century, both the ditch and bank remain a clear landmark. No excavations have been made in the centre of the fort, but this was surely the centre of a local chiefdom with a tribe some hundreds strong contributing to its construction. It may well have been used defensively against the Roman invasion c48 AD, but resistance would have been short and futile. Small and insignificant compared with hillforts in central southern England, locally this is nonetheless an important example.
As for other Iron Age evidence in Birmingham, there is very little: a fragment of Iron Age pottery found in 1995 near St Marys Hospice on Raddlebarn Road, Selly Oak and at Castle Bromwich a yellow and white glass bead found on parkland near the Hall Gardens in 1960. More recently archaeological excavations in advance of the M6 Toll motorway discovered evidence of an Iron Age village near Langley Mill Farm off Lindridge Road. A number of circular timber houses within a moat enclosure were dated to between 400 and 100 BC. Close by, near Langley Brook, evidence of a single Iron Age moated site was found.
After 100 BC there was a major influx of a Celtic tribe known as the Belgae from across the English Channel. They spread across south-east England and up as far as the Midlands, though probably not as far north as the Forest of Arden. Their heavier wheeled ploughs enabled them to cultivate soils previously too difficult to work. The population of the whole of Britain by the time of the Roman conquest was probably less than half a million people.
The Iron Age Celts lived in tribal areas. The people of each area spoke the same language or dialect, followed the same customs and obeyed the same laws under common rule. The limits of these areas were later altered to some extent under Roman occupation. The exact boundaries of the tribal areas are unknown: indeed they may never have been precisely defined.
The Birmingham area lay on the borderlands of three tribal areas. East of Birmingham the Corieltauvi had their capital at Leicester; west of Birmingham were the Cornovii who had their capital on the Wrekin; south of Birmingham were the Dobunii with their capital at Cirencester. Roman towns were later built to replace the Celtic capitals; Leicester and Cirencester stand roughly on the original Celtic sites; Wroxeter, later a major Roman centre, replaced the Wrekin.
It is possible that the River Cole marked the boundary between the Corieltauvi and the Cornovii. This is supported by the existence of a small Romano-British temple which has been excavated at Grimstock Hill. Such temples were often built in the no-man's land between tribal boundaries. The Saxon Kingdom of the Hwicce, which covered Worcestershire and beyond, is believed to have replaced the tribal area of the Dobunii. The northernmost part of the Hwiccan Kingdom is represented in Birmingham by the ancient Worcestershire parishes of Kings Norton, Northfield and Yardley. Much of the boundary could have therefore been the River Rea, the Spark Brook and River Cole.

Patricia Ann Wood
Patricia as a baby (several years before her disappearance)
Missing From Swanzey, New Hampshire
Age 3 - 4 years old
Height and Weight Unknown
Distinguishing Characteristics Caucasian female. Patricia's nickname is Patty.
Patricia was last seen in Swanzey, New Hampshire sometime in 1976. She lived with her father and stepmother, John and Judith Wood, and four older step-siblings at the time.
Patricia's father and stepmother told her biological mother she'd been killed in a car accident, and told others that Patricia was with her mother. Neither of these stories was true, and her disappearance wasn't reported until 1987.
On August 20, 1987, the police confronted Judith about her stepdaughter's disappearance; they weren't able to speak to John. The next day, John and Judith committed suicide together at their home. They left a note, but it didn't provide any answers as to Patricia's whereabouts.
Prior to her disappearance, the child was treated several times for injuries, had to be hospitalized at least once, and doctors reported suspected child abuse. Patricia was placed in foster care for several months, then returned to her family, and the state child protective services closed their file on her.
Patricia's step-siblings remembered that their mother frequently disciplined her. The youngest one told his father, and later the police, that his mother and stepfather drowned Patricia in the bathtub and buried her in the backyard.
Authorities dug up the Wood family's backyard and also checked local mine shafts, but found nothing of interest. Patricia is considered missing under extremely suspicious circumstances; her case remains unsolved.

How in the world is it possible that more than 170 health workershave been infected by the Ebola virus? That is the one question about Ebola that nobody can seem to answer. The World Health Organization is reporting this as a fact, but no explanation is given as to why this is happening. We are just assured that Ebola "is not airborne" and that getting infected "requires close contact with the bodily fluids of an infected person". If this is true, then how have more than 170 health workers caught the disease? These workers are dressed head to toe in suits that are specifically designed to prevent the spread of the virus. So how is this happening? I could understand a handful of "mistakes" by health workers, but this is unlike anything that we have ever seen in the history of infectious diseases. These health workers take extraordinary precautions to keep from getting the virus. If it is spreading so easily to them, what chance is the general population going to have?
Like I have said before, this has the potential to become the greatest health crisis that any of us have ever seen.
Up until this point, the outbreak has been primarily limited to Sierra Leone, Guinea and Liberia.
But now it is starting to pop up in more countries around Africa.
Nigeria on Monday confirmed a new case of Ebola in the financial capital Lagos, bringing the total number of people in the country with the virus to 10.
Health minister Onyebuchi Chukwu said the latest confirmed case was a female nurse who came into contact with a Liberian-American man, Patrick Sawyer, who died of Ebola in a Lagos hospital on July 25.
In addition to Sawyer, another nurse who had contact with him died last week, while seven other people have been confirmed to have the virus in the city, he added.
Rwanda's health officials have placed a man suspected of suffering from Ebola in isolation at King Faisal Hospital Kigali. A statement by the Ministry of Health released on Sunday indicates that the patient had been tested with results still expected. Samples from the suspected case have been sent for testing to an international accredited laboratory, and results will be available in 48 hours, the statement said. The suspected case is a European medical student, according to the statement. It is the first suspected Ebola case in Rwanda since the outbreak of the virus in West Africa. The government urged the public to remain calm and vigilant, as the ministry is closely monitoring the situation.
All the preventive measures needed in line with national standards are already in place, including surveillance systems and emergency management systems, it assured, adding "Health workers have been trained across the country and are vigilant." This will enable timely detection, notification and appropriate management of any suspected cases to safeguard Rwandans, the statement concluded.
Ghana may be recording its first case of Ebola if tests on the blood samples of a Burkinabe man suspected to have died of Ebola proves positive. The man who was rushed to the Bawku Presby Hospital in the Upper East Region from Burkina Faso, died on arrival. The Medical Director at the Hospital, Dr Joseph Yaw Manu, who confirmed the incident to Citi News, said they sent the blood samples for testing because the man was brought in showing symptoms of Ebola. In an interview with Citi News, Dr. Manu said the patient was bleeding from his nostrils which raised their suspicion he may have died of the Ebola disease. Dr. Manu said they are awaiting the results from the blood sample test to verify the cause of death. He gave the assurance that the hospital is prepared to battle the disease. This is the fourth suspected case of Ebola reported in Ghana; two in Kumasi, one in Accra and now the Upper East Region.
Benin has reported two cases of the deadly Ebola virus in the west African country. Health Ministry official Aboubacar Moufiliatou said that a man suspected to have contracted the virus had died. "Fortunately, blood samples have been taken from the deceased patient to examine if his death was linked with Ebola," Moufililatou told the state television Thursday night. He said another man has been quarantined after showing symptoms of the deadly virus after returning from the Nigerian city of Lagos. "Blood tests from the suspected case will be conducted in laboratories approved by the World Health Organization (WHO) to confirm or deny the infection," he said. The WHO has declared the Ebola outbreak in West Africa to be an "international public health emergency" as the virus reportedly continues to spread through the region in Liberia, Sierra Leone and Nigeria. According to the latest WHO report, Ebola has killed 932 people in West Africa. The Ebola virus, a contagious disease for which there is no known treatment or cure, can be transmitted to humans from wild animals and also spreads through contact with the body fluids of an infected person or someone who has died of the disease. Medical doctors say common symptoms of Ebola include high fever and headaches, followed by bleeding from openings in the body. If the cases turn out to be Ebola, this would be the fifth country in Africa where the virus has spread.
We are quickly getting to the point where it will become impossible to contain this virus.
And if it spreads to the United States, we are going to be in a massive amount of trouble. The truth is that we are not prepared for an Ebola pandemic, and such a crisis would create a massive wave of panic and fear all over this country.
Health officials in North Carolina said on Sunday they will require missionaries and others coming home after working with people infected with Ebola in Africa to be placed in quarantine.
The quarantine is set to last for three weeks from the last exposure to someone infected in the West African Ebola outbreak, which is centred in Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia, the officials said.
Missionaries from the North Carolina-based Christian aid groups SIM USA and Samaritan's Purse have been working to help combat the world's worst outbreak of the disease. Two of the relief workers, Dr Kent Brantly and Nancy Writebol, contracted the disease and are being cared for at Emory University hospital in Georgia.
Why couldn't those individuals just be quarantined over there an extra three weeks in a safe area and then come home?
The drugs that could potentially treat those already infected and the vaccines to protect healthy people from infection are all in the earliest stages of testing. And even if they do pass muster in clinical trials, they cannot be produced in large quantities quickly enough to stem the widening epidemic anytime soon.
Those are very sobering words.
For now, our health officials are telling us that we have very little to be concerned about.
But they can't even tell us why more than 170 health workers have caught the virus.
So let's hope for the best, but let us also prepare for the worst.


Guinot has just launch a brand new eye-makeup remover, Demaquillant Express Yeux. This eye-makeup remover removes all types of make-up from eye shadow to eyeline, even waterproof makeup, both thoroughly and quickly. This efficient eye make-up remover has been designed for the delicate and sometimes sensitive skin around the eye area, removing eye make-up instanty.
This remover uses a two phase cleaning approach – one part oil and one part water. When shaken, the product creates a mixture with strong cleansing properties. The oil effectively removes all eye makeup and the water portion breaks down make-up and helps the make-up remover to evaporate so that it doesn't leave a greasy film around the eyes. It is also fragrance-free and paraben-free, making it perfectly suited for even the most sensitive eyes as well as contact lens wearers.
Allantoin – softens, repairs and soothes the skin.
Eyeliss – reduces puffy eyes and combats tissue slackening.
Shake first, to mix the two phases together. Apply to dry cotton pads, use two separate cotton pads, one for each eye. Gently hold cotton pad over the entire eye (from lashes to brows) for 10-30 seconds then sweep downward, removing all eye makeup.
Should you or should you not? That is the Question!
In a perfect world your skin would have a built-in system to regenerate and replace dead cells every 28 days. Unfortunately, this perfect world does not always exist. Many factors come into play that add to the amount of dead cells we accumulate on our faces, including age, environment, exposure, types of products used, just to mention a few. What causes our skin to become uneven, dull, thick or less receptive to products are usually due to the slowing down of the epidermis, the buildup of cell, in other words, aging.
It's usually easy to tell when your skin is out of balance, it will begin to appear dull, and lifeless or the products you have been using for the last few months, don't produce the results they use to. If this is the situation you find yourself in, now is the time to consider introducing an exfoliator into your skincare routine. Using an exfoliator is an essential step in any beauty care routine, as it helps rid the skin of dead cells that build up on the surface and prevents it from breathing. After using an exfoliator, the face will glow with new radiance.
There are two types of exfoliators that we sell at Fountains Day Spa, the biological exfoliator for sensitive skin and the manual exfoliator with microbeads for all skin types.
Gommage Biologique is an ideal product for all skin types, but works especially well for those with sensitive skin, as it does not contain any mechanical pieces, such as grains or pits. This gel-to-oil substance gently exfoliates fragile and sensitive skin. When applied after cleansing , the top layers of the skin is gently removed as the gel-like serum warms and turns into an oil, indicating the process of removing dead cells is completed. This exfoliator contains green tea which is a stimulating anti-oxidant that gives a youth boost to the complexion.
Another perfect exfoliant for most skin types is Gommage Éclat Parfait. This manual exfoliator uses double micro-particles that simultaneously removes dead cells from the skin's surface while encouraging cell renewal and preparing skin to soak up any following products that are applied to the skin. Unlike harsh scrubs, the silky and creamy exfoliator is enriched with fatty essential acids that instantly unclog pores , while comforting and protecting the skin. In addition to prepping skin to receive other products, exfoliating will unclog pores and smooth one's face. Gommage Éclat Parfait is also embedded with Liposkin, which is a vegtable butter that replenishes lipids in the skin surface.
Both of these exfoliators should be used in the winter months, roughly 1-2times a week depending on the skins needs.
These are recommendations based on the winter weather, remember that it does get hot and humid in the summer, so you may need to change frequency of use at that time. Always check with your Beauty Therapist when the season changes if you are unsure.


Yet if you ever wish to see celebrity charity at its most creepy you cannot do better than tune in to Jerry Lewis's annual telethon for the Muscular Dystrophy Association, or, as I believe Mr. Lewis himself calls it, for "Jerry's Kids." There you will discover on exhibition the sloppiest bath of public self-congratulation perhaps known to history. One has to imagine Lourdes, with Mr. Lewis taking the place of God. Something, too, prevails of the atmosphere of Nero reciting one of his latest poems while accompanying himself on the lyre before an audience of terrified courtiers. Meanwhile, more hugging takes place than in a sumo wrestling tournament.
One of the dangers of celebrity charity, at least to the celebrity, is that he steps out of his role as entertainer or athlete to become concerned citizen, or virtuous Christian or Jew, and in doing so loses some of his cachet in glamour. I used to describe myself as old enough to remember Danny Thomas, whose identification with St. Jude's Children's Hospital in Memphis became the chief thing about him, when he was still funny. Once he became the patron saint of the hospital he founded, he wasn't funny any longer. He was chiefly virtuous in a public way.
And yet, I hear a voice of reasonableness speaking on behalf of simple efficacy as the only genuine criterion for judging charity. What, really, is so wrong about an already famous man or woman taking a little ego-bath as the price for doing much good in the world? I was with an oncologist the other day, who told me that St. Jude's is a splendid hospital that has saved countless lives – and done it, moreover, at no charge to the patients' families. According to Danny Thomas's daughter Marlo, who spoke on the Larry King Show, the reason that Thomas built the hospital in Memphis, Tennessee, is that he heard about a black child in the South being refused treatment in a segregated southern hospital, and so he deliberately built his free hospital where care would be made available without racial qualification.
Would it have been better had Danny Thomas, and now his daughter, simply donated their money to this indubitably good cause, without promoting their splendid works with television ads and other personal promotions? One answer would be that their personal endorsements have helped bring in even more money. Marlo Thomas now does a television promotion for St. Jude's that brings in other show business figures whose presence attests to the worthiness of the cause. What's wrong with that?
Some might say that any lingering objections I offer to celebrity promotions of good causes, with my suggestion that there is something vulgar and self-serving about them, is itself vulgar and more than a little snobbish. And yet am I wrong to feel that there is something askew whenever anyone, celebrity or not, lets people know about his good works in a public way, thereby advertising, however indirectly, his own large-heartedness? Is there something to this, or is it merely my own idiosyncratic view? If I were sufficiently famous, I would like to begin a drive to help wipe out the mental disease of solipsism, though I suspect it would be difficult to find anyone to help me in this cause.
The best model of celebrity philanthropy is perhaps that practiced by Paul Newman and his wife Joanne Woodward. Newman is said to devote half his time to his food company, Newman's Own, Inc., and charitable giving. Newman and Woodward established the Hole-in-the-Wall Gang Camp for terminally ill children, and the anti-drug Scott Newman Foundation, named in memory of Newman's only son, who died of an accidental drug overdose in 1978. Through his, Newman's own line of food products, he has donated more than $100 million to countless charities. What's more, the food products are good: I speak as a regular purchaser of Newman's Own Balsamic Vinaigrette.
Paul Newman's politics, insofar as he has revealed them over the years, are standard liberal, maybe even a bit to the left of that: he has let his name be associated with the Nation magazine, he and his wife are often signatories on petitions for the usual left-wing causes. Some of Newman's charitable giving may well be politically motivated, but that seems to me his business.
Although he may have done so, I have never seen Newman go on television to tell you how much good he has done through his charitable work. I even doubt that his name on his various food products does much to sell them. If the salad dressings and pasta sauces and the rest weren't respectably good to start with, no one would buy them. What his famous name is likely to have done is aid in putting these products on the shelves, which, in the realm of marketing, seems fair enough. Somehow the word has leaked out that much of the profit of Newman's Own products goes to charity, and this probably makes some people who buy them feel a little better about themselves: a spoonful of philanthropy makes the noodles go down, to paraphrase Mary Poppins.
Judging the moral element in charity is never easy, and adding the element of fame to the judgment makes it even more complicated. An old test for charity held that the amount that a person gives to charity is not the true measure of a person's generosity; a truer measure can only be derived when one knows, after the giving, how much the person has left: $100,000 to Ted Turner may well be less than $1.50 to me. With movie stars, contemporary athletes, billionaires, and other celebrities this becomes impossible to compute. Besides, this old test may now be irrelevant; all that matters, finally, being the amount of money given and the amount of good it does. Again: efficacy is the only criterion.
Nowadays one hears the phrase "the leveraging capital of celebrity," which means that celebrities can bring in money not only to sell products but enlist the support of other celebrities for good causes. Thus Andre Agassi stages a benefit for his Andre Agassi Charitable Trust and calls in Celine Dion and Dennis Miller to help fill the tables. The Andre Agassi Charitable Trust, which has begun a college preparatory school for kids in Las Vegas, from third grade through high school, is thought to be, by USA Today, the "gold standard for celebrity sports foundations." Agassi is reported to have spent as much as $14 million on charities for children, including this college preparatory school named after himself.
Why does Andre Agassi do it? Let us begin with what seems to me the obvious reason: that he is a nice man with a good heart who realizes that he has made more money than he is likely to be able to spend on himself and his family. One could move on from here to adduce the reason that professional tennis has had, since the on-court ugliness of Jimmy Connors and John McEnroe, a dreary reputation as the sport of spoiled children who have been lucky enough to break the bank. Agassi is not like that, neither on the court nor, his charitable giving suggests, off. Yet the publicity for Agassi's good works is close to unrelenting. The USA Today piece, from which I quoted, derived from an award that the paper gives to Most Caring Athletes, which Agassi recently won. The publicity is good for Andre Agassi, though I'm not sure it matters much to his charitable foundation, most of the work of which is done in his hometown of Las Vegas.
A deeply cynical view might hold that all his charity isn't really costing Andre Agassi and other athletes who go in for it all that much. If they didn't do it, their money would only be eaten up by taxes. Tax write-offs have given lots of charitable giving a qualification it didn't previously have. Members of the so-called Robber Baron generation in America, whatever the quality of their business ethics, were exemplary in donating to, indeed in many instances founding, universities and cultural institutions – exemplary because they did so before the time when one could gain a tax benefit from one's generosity. Some argue they gave out of guilt. My own belief is that they gave because it pleased them to do so. Often they were without the pushing egotism that many of today's high-rolling givers display. John D. Rockefeller, when he donated the money that established the University of Chicago, asked that no buildings or anything else at the school be named after him. A devout Baptist, Rockefeller perhaps felt so assured of going to heaven that he had no need to be remembered by anything so trivial as a mere building or two on earth. (Has the loss of religious certitude in American culture at large made the wealthy want to insure their immortality here on earth through charitable giving?) After his death, the University of Chicago named the Rockefeller Chapel after him.
The New York Times article in which I learned this made plain how wealthy a man Sid Bass is, and showed a photograph of Mrs. Bass, bedizened and begowned, at what is described as a "Met gala." Not that there is anything wrong with it, as Jerry Seinfeld might say, but without the parties, without the publicity, would the Basses be as generous? No way of knowing, of course. They may well continue to give at the same clip, but the notion of all that partying, all that publicity, puts an odd smudge on the sheen of what might otherwise seem the most elegant and bountiful generosity.
Such have been the incursions of celebrity on charity that charity itself has become tilted toward promising all donors, in a small way, a touch of celebrity, even immortality, of their own. I don't know the exact historical moment when serious charitable contributions carried with them the promise of (limited) immortality by having institutions, buildings, and lesser things named after the givers. Perhaps it began with the Roman emperors, who erected statues to themselves and left public buildings in their names. Now, with sufficient available cash, every man can be his own Trajan.
Nowadays celebrity is available in a wide variety of sizes through charitable giving. Fundraisers must have come to the view that putting a plaque with a donor's name on a hospital chapel, elevator, or wall with scores of other plaques releases the charitable impulse and is a highly effective goad to giving. "Rarer than an unplaqued room in Long Island Jewish Hospital" may not be a standard saying but perhaps ought to be.
Am I hinting at anything more than that charity, too, has a strong comic element? Am I saying nothing more than the strikingly unoriginal notion that human beings, mirabile dictu, tend to be vain, and charity is yet another court on which they regularly demonstrate this? Whether the charity provided is put to good purpose may be the only question worth asking. The motives for giving, along with being negligible, may also be beside the point.
But at the second and third levels, Maimonides judges it best that the recipient of charity not know who his or her benefactor is. Giving in this manner, says Maimonides, "is performing a mitzvah [a blessed act] for the sake of Heaven. This is like the 'anonymous fund' that was in the Holy Temple [in Jerusalem]. There the righteous gave in secret, and the good poor profited in secret." (Maimonides' last three levels are when one gives to a poor person after being asked, when one gives inadequately but gladly and with a smile, and when one gives grudgingly).
Anonymous charity seems grander because it is detached from the ego and hence from the self and from all self-advancement or even semblance of selfish motive. But celebrity is a way of life that is built on the motive of relentlessly keeping the attention on oneself, pushing ever forward, exclaiming (in louder or more hushed tones) Look at me!
Having said this, one is far from ready to say that celebrities should get out of the business of self-promoting philanthropy until such time as they acquire the good grace to give without stepping forward to take egotistical credit for doing so. Part of the complication of celebrity charity is that celebrity itself can vastly increase the sums made available to do good in the world. And that, though not the only measure of charity in the world, remains an important one.
Meanwhile, if Andre Agassi wants to have a school named after him, if a pitcher earning $12 million a year wants people to know that he has set up a charitable foundation and thus isn't a selfish jerk, if Jerry Lewis wants his hugs and his praise delivered in full public view on television, if Marlo Thomas and her famous show-business friends want to be known publicly for their good works – surely, one has to allow, there are deeper sins than these.
Perhaps the only lesson to be learned from all such displays of celebrity virtue is that even the widest fame is not by itself sufficient. It isn't enough to be everywhere known; one must also be known to be good. Human, as the mad philosopher Nietzsche titled one of his books of observations on human nature, All Too Human.

Q: how to display json in d3 over leaflet.js in React I'm struggling to display some json data onto my Leaflet map in react. I'm using leaflet-react to run the map generation. I can't find a decent tutorial to help me through this. My current set up is below;
const MapComponent = () => {
return (
        <>
            <MapContainer
                center={[mapSettings.latitude, mapSettings.longitude]}
                zoom={mapSettings.zoom}
                minZoom={6}
                scrollWheelZoom={true}
                zoomControl={false}
                style={{ height: '100vh', width: '100%' }}
                maxBounds={[
                    [58.619777025081675, -10.437011718750002],
                    [49.66762782262194, 3.3618164062500004],
                ]}
            >
                <LayerGroup>
                    <D3Layer></D3Layer>
                </LayerGroup>
                <MyMapEvents />
                <TileLayer
                    attribution='© OpenStreetMap contributors'
                    url='https://{s}.tile.openstreetmap.org/{z}/{x}/{y}.png'
                />

                <NavBar mapZoom={mapSettings.zoom} activeNav={activeNav} navClick={navClick} show={show} />
                <Overlay show={show} />
            </MapContainer>
        </>
    );
};

export default MapComponent;

I want to then put the D3 code into the D3Layer component.
At the moment the component returns a h1 tag with hello however this is hidden behind the map. If someone can get something basic working, even if just getting my basics set up to display something basic like a square i'm sure I can figure the importing of the json
Thanks

A: Here is an example of importing a square using d3 library adapted in react and react-leaflet by a creating a custom component as you did and include example's code inside a useEffect.
Install d3libray and d3-geo libray.
In this example I imported directly the json from a file but you can fetch it also using d3.json
import L from "leaflet";
import * as d3 from "d3";
import * as d3Geo from "d3-geo";

import geoShape from "./rectangle.json";

...
function D3Layer() {
     const map = useMap();

     useEffect(() => {
        const svg = d3.select(map.getPanes().overlayPane).append("svg");
        const g = svg.append("g").attr("class", "leaflet-zoom-hide");

        //  create a d3.geo.path to convert GeoJSON to SVG
        const transform = d3Geo.geoTransform({
           point: projectPoint
        }),
        path = d3Geo.geoPath().projection(transform);

          // create path elements for each of the features
        const d3_features = g
          .selectAll("path")
          .data(geoShape.features)
          .enter()
          .append("path");

        map.on("viewreset", reset);

        reset();

        // fit the SVG element to leaflet's map layer
        function reset() {
          const bounds = path.bounds(geoShape);

          const topLeft = bounds[0],
            bottomRight = bounds[1];

          svg
            .attr("width", bottomRight[0] - topLeft[0])
            .attr("height", bottomRight[1] - topLeft[1])
            .style("left", topLeft[0] + "px")
            .style("top", topLeft[1] + "px");

          g.attr(
            "transform",
            "translate(" + -topLeft[0] + "," + -topLeft[1] + ")"
          );

            // initialize the path data
            d3_features
              .attr("d", path)
              .style("fill-opacity", 0.7)
              .attr("fill", "blue");
          }

          // Use Leaflet to implement a D3 geometric transformation.
          function projectPoint(x, y) {
            var point = map.latLngToLayerPoint(new L.LatLng(y, x));
            this.stream.point(point.x, point.y);
          }
        }, []);
        return null;
 }

Q: How to use Automapper to map navigation property viewmodels as well I am trying to use Automapper to return a navigation property ViewModel
Models:
public class Month

{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public string MonthName { get; set; }
    public int YearId { get; set; }
    public Year Year { get; set; }
}

public class Year

{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public string YearName { get; set; }
}

ViewModels:
public class MonthViewModel

{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public string MonthName { get; set; }
    Display(Name = "Financial Year")
    public int YearId { get; set; }
    public YearViewModel Year { get; set; }
}

public class YearViewModel

{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    Display(Name = "Financial Year Name")
    public string YearName { get; set; }
}

I am currently have a ASP.NET MVC view Mapping displaying a list of Months in a table and I need to inlcude the Year Name as a column
public  IActionResult Index()
    {

        var months =  _monthRepo.GetAll().Include(m=>m.Year);

        IEnumerable<MonthViewModel> monthsVms = MonthViewModel.MapToViewModel(months);

        return View(monthsVms);
    }

 public static IEnumerable<MonthViewModel> MapToViewModel(IEnumerable<Month> dm)
    {
        Mapper.CreateMap<Month, MonthViewModel>();
        Mapper.CreateMap<Year, YearViewModel>();
        return Mapper.Map<IEnumerable<Month>, IEnumerable<MonthViewModel>>(dm);
    }

   However in my view when I want to refer to the year name like below:

@foreach (var item in Model)
{

    @Html.EditorFor(modelItem => item.YearViewModel.YearName)

}

However item.YearViewModel is null.
Question:

*

*How do I setup AutoMapper to map the related navigation property ViewModel's Model to its ViewModel and include it as a navigation property to my ViewModel?

There is a 1 to 0/1 relation between the main class and its navigation property.
e.g. I want to display a list of Months with Columns Month Name and Year Name next to each other. (because I want to only use  ViewModels Data Annotations)
I found a similar question  here but
I couldn't get it to work
 Mapper.CreateMap<Month, MonthViewModel>().ForMember(dest => dest.YearViewModel.YearName, opt => opt.MapFrom(src => src.Year.YearName));

 Mapper.CreateMap<Year, YearViewModel>();

 return Mapper.Map<IEnumerable<Month>, IEnumerable<MonthViewModel>>(dm);

but I get

ArgumentException: Expression 'dest => dest.FinancialYearViewModel.FinancialYearName' must resolve to top-level member and not any child object's properties. Use a custom resolver on the child type or the AfterMap option instead.
   Parameter name: lambdaExpression

I get the same problem when I try
 Mapper.CreateMap<Year, YearViewModel>();
 AutoMapper.Mapper.CreateMap<Month, MonthViewModel>()
     .ForMember(a => a.YearViewModel.YearName, b => b.ResolveUsing(c => c.Year.YearName));

Solution provide in answer was to map the whole navigation property:
Mapper.CreateMap<Year, YearViewModel>();
AutoMapper.Mapper.CreateMap<Month, MonthViewModel>()
     .ForMember(a => a.YearViewModel, b => b.ResolveUsing(c => c.Year));

A: Possibly this is what you want -
AutoMapper.Mapper.CreateMap<Year, YearViewModel>();
AutoMapper.Mapper.CreateMap<Month, MonthViewModel>()
            .ForMember(a => a.Year, b => b.ResolveUsing(c => c.Year));
var o = AutoMapper.Mapper.Map<MonthViewModel>(new Month
            {
                Id = 1,
                MonthName = "January",
                YearId = DateTime.Now.Year,
                Year = new Year
                {
                    Id = DateTime.Now.Year,
                    YearName = DateTime.Now.Year.ToString()
                }
            }); // should map year as well.
