Article Title Facts and Fancies About May
Facts and Fancies About May In former days, flowers were gathered on the first day of May to sjww to the world that this was the spring time of existence. exist-ence. The young folks would go in search of the hawthorne or a similar spring-blooming plant, while old folks woidd meet together to-gether and think of the "good old days." And, on every first day of the fifth month, there would be outdoor festivities, such as dancing around a May-pole, the hanging hang-ing of gartonds, and the crowning of a May queen. Today, all of these idle fancies are gone and forgotten. May queens are measured at Miami beach nowadays, and they no longer lon-ger dance around a May-pole, but around a flock of male admirers, admir-ers, secretly hoping that they may be tempted by a diamond ring or a Hollywood contract. Policemen and firemen receive new uniforms about this time of the year, and millions of daughters and sons give a word or thanks to mother who accepts their tokens of love, and remembers remem-bers them throughout the year. Also, there is a Memorial Day to be observed, when Americans will kneel down and give prayers of thanks to God and Unknown Soldiers who Jiave given their lives to provide liberty and the other great blessings of a democracy. de-mocracy. Here's to the little new month. It is the last lap in this school year and its freshness and youthfulness holds many riches in store for us all.

Apple Planning 'Significant Growth' of Reseller Network in India
Friday March 30, 2012 1:51 PM PDT by Eric Slivka
A new job listing on Apple's site indicates that the company is developing a "significant growth plan" for its network of Apple Premium Resellers (APRs) in India, seeking a new national manager to oversee expansion of the program.
The Apple Premium Reseller (APR) program was designed by Apple to expand and improve the market coverage and customer experience. Apple Premium Resellers offer the complete range of Macs, iPods and iPhones, along with a full complement of software and accessories.
There are currently 49 APRs in India with a significant growth plan for the future.
The NM [National Manager] will lead the expansion of the APR coverage as per plan
The new position will be based in Bangalore, where Apple has a minor existing presence.
Earlier this year, rumors surfaced suggesting that Apple was considering opening its own retail stores in India after the government relaxed laws that had required significant domestic ownership of single-brand stores. It is unclear whether Apple's planned expansion of its APR network in India means that it has decided against opening its own stores in the country, but any such Apple retail plan appears to have been a long-term project in any case.
India is one of the four "BRIC" countries whose developing economies are seen as major growth markets, with Brazil, Russia, and China also being included in that group. Apple has clearly focused its initial efforts for this group on China, although Apple CEO Tim Cook acknowledged in an interview last month that the company has also been increasing its efforts in Brazil and Russia. Consequently, India appears to be Apple's lowest priority among emerging markets, but the company is undoubtedly keeping a keen eye on developments there and building its APR network as an interim measure to increase its presence.

China and India....Complete common sense, the fastest growing economies are going to get attention from all major manufacturers not just Apple. It's where the market lies, and where growth will come.

Whether Apple opens its own retail stores or not depends a lot on local policies and the return on investment it can expect. Apple has opened a store in China because it's able to do that and China is a big market. From what I've read, in India, the rules for a company like Apple to open its own retail store mandate 30% local sourcing. Why in the world would Apple leave its well performing supply chain and manufacturers in China to source parts in India??? At what cost would that even be a "good idea" to consider? Unless Foxconn (which already has a presence in India) and Apple's other parts manufacturing partners expand in India, Apple would not be able to meet the government mandate.
And what about import duties that increase the prices by about 30% or so (for Apple products)? Apple would have no control over that for as long as the products are manufactured outside and imported.
Without government support for companies like Apple to expand, it's just not possible even if the market seems big enough. For the above reasons, Apple consumers in India would have to put up with third party resellers whose only concern for the brand value would be the money it brings in (and not really anything to do with support or service).
Restrictions like the above mentioned are why Apple products get sold very widely in gray markets and not through formal retail channels around the world, especially in Asia where Apple's presence is a lot lesser than in US, Canada and Europe.

This is really good move by Apple. They are looking in BRIC countries.
I already started liking Tim Cook as CEO :apple:

Q: Velocity IncludeEventHandler dilemma Here is an interesting problem regarding the IncludeEventHandler.
I am developing a Spring-Based application which uses velocity which has different VENDORS having a separate portfolio site. I am letting vendors customize the pages by providing them the Velocity templates which are being stored the database and are picked up by the velocity engine using a DataSourceResourceLoader.
My table is organized like this.
The vendors may parse other templates by calling the macro #parse and passing their vendorid/template-name so that it looks like this.
#parse("20160109144/common-css.vm")

Now the actual problem is picking up the template according to vendorid.
I have a class (extending IncludeEventHandler) which overrides the includeEvent method. Now what can I do to return the desired template? I dont want to change the names and make them look like 20160109144/home.vm

A: With OP's question, the intent was to provide an alternate behavior to the DataSourceResourceLoader.
Unfortunately, the Velocity Engine version 1.7 doesn't have ability to change the SQL statement that is used to retrieve the template.
The DataSourceResourceLoader extends the ResourceLoader abstract class. That said, if you reference the source, you should be able to implement a custom ResourceLoader that behaves the way you want it to.
One option, glom most of the code from DataSourceResourceLoader and change the way it determines the template content to load from the database.
I would dump all of the query related material as you will be determining the specific columns you want to load for content. The DataSourceResourceLoader essentially maps the name of a template to a database entry and your implementation essentially revolves around the rules you've defined above.
Hopefully that can provide enough assistance to move forward. I would recommend pulling this in a debugger as well and determine what is and is-not passed in to the related load methods.

William Sharp's Fifty-one Illustrations for The Moonstone (from the 1946 Doubleday edition)
Philip V. Allingham, Contributing Editor, Victorian Web; Professor Emeritus, Lakehead University
[Victorian Web Home —> Visual Arts —> Illustration —> Wilkie Collins]
William Sharp (Leon Schleifer), Satiric Wizard of the Pen (1900-1961)
Emerging on the New York artistic scene just before the start of the Second World War, William Sharp was an Austrian-born Jew (born Leon Schleifer) whose satirical cartoons of the Nazis and their flamboyant leader during the 1920s made him persona non grata in Germany, compelling him to flee the country in 1933 under threat of imprisonment if he remained. Arriving in the United States in 1934, he adopted the English surname "Sharp," perhaps to reflect his precision as a draftsman and the acuteness of his visual satire. Six years later, he became an American citizen and comfortable denizen of Forrest Hills, NY. He was fascinated by a disparate range of contemporary figures from Sir Winston Churchill to mobster Frank Costello, but was also a recorder of daily life in Queens, including society ladies, baseball players, and boxers as the subjects of his vignettes of urban life. His first American commission was for the Hearst newspaper chain, sketching the 1934 trial of Bruno Richard Hauptmann, accused of kidnapping and murdering Charles Lindbergh's infant son. He went on to cover a long series of trials, including those of Alger Hiss, accused of espionage and convicted of perjury, and of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, who were executed for spying. There followed assignments from Life, The New York Post, The Daily Mirror, The New York Times Magazine, and other magazines and journals. He also became a sought-after book illustrator, producing memorable images for The Wall (1950) by John Hersey, the story of the Warsaw ghetto uprising during the Nazi occupation of Poland and Dostoyevsky's The Brothers Karamozov, as well as such classics as Edgar Allen Poe's Tales of Mystery and Imagination and the Random House Treasury of Stephen Foster (1946), as well as the short stories of Ernest Hemingway and Thomas Mann. His illustrations for The Diary of Samuel Pepys, and a volume of Dickens brought him considerable acclaim. After his work on Wilkie Collins's The Moonstone in 1944, he illustrated the Heritage Press's biography of Benjamin Franklin in 1951.

Q: Draggable.create - Want show/hide toggle on certain array/endvalues I've hit a snag during a project I've been working on for quite some time. The client wants a spinnable dial on his frontpage, like a safe combination dial or a volume knob.
The knob has 4 endvalues, to which the object snaps (to the nearest value). The problem I've hit is that I have no idea how to make JS toggle a hide/show on a certain element once its corresponding value has been reached.
For instance, at 90 degrees rotation, I want element X to show. At 180 degrees rotation, I want element X to hide and Y to take its place/to show. Repeat in 90 degree increments for Z and A.
My current code attempt (amongst many) looks like this
var dialarray = [0,90,180,270];

var rotationSnap = 90;
Draggable.create("#Stage_Group", {
    type:"rotation", //instead of "x,y" or "top,left", we can simply do "rotation" to make the object spinnable!
    throwProps:true, //enables kinetic-based flicking (continuation of movement, decelerating after releasing the mouse/finger)
    snap:function(endValue) {
        //this function gets called when the mouse/finger is released and it plots where rotation should normally end and we can alter that value and return a new one instead. This gives us an easy way to apply custom snapping behavior with any logic we want. In this case, just make sure the end value snaps to 90-degree increments but only when the "snap" checkbox is selected.
        return Math.round(endValue / rotationSnap) * rotationSnap;

if (rotation("#Stage_Group") = 90) {
    sym.$("brand_awareness").show();
} else {
    sym.$("brand_awareness").hide();
}
}
})

I'm using Greensocks, where support has been lacking to get me the right answer, so with some help from a more code-savvy friend (who didn't figure it out either) I turn to StackOverflow.
Can somebody please guide me to the solution here? It's driving me bonkers, even if it means ditching the current code for a working code will do, maybe I overlooked another, more logical solution towards making a rotatable object with triggers at certain values?
Thanks in advance!

A: This would be the code inside your snap.  Updated seeing your comment
var imgRotation = Math.round(endValue / rotationSnap) * rotationSnap;
if (imgRotation == 90) {
   sym.$("id1").show();
} else if (imgRotation == 180) {
   sym.$("id2").show();
} else if (imgRotation == 270 ) {
   sym.$("id3").show();
}
else if ((imgRotation >= 360) || (imgRotation == 0)){
   sym.$("id4").show();
}
return imgRotation;


We take a closer look at Alabama's star receiver. What are his strengths and weaknesses?
Editor's note: ahead of a huge day of college football action, make sure you check out today's early Bowl Game Previews, the Rose Bowl and Sugar Bowl Previews, and all of our 2018 Rookie Profiles. Before you know it, it will be NFL draft day!
There will be a lot happening on the night of the College Football Playoff semifinals. Just one event will be Calvin Ridley, the best receiving prospect in the 2018 class to many, perhaps playing in his final collegiate game against one of the best (if not the best) passing defenses in the country.
Ridley came into the Alabama Crimson Tide program as the highest-rated receiver in the 2015 freshman class. Given that Ridley was effectively two years older than the rest of that class, it wasn't as hard for him to reach that level in high school. However, with any age advantage in college wiped out, Ridley has fared perfectly well.
Ridley posting his best on-paper statistical season in his freshman season is a bizarre phenomenon, but can be explained without much difficulty. Most noticeably, the raw statistical drop between 2015 and 2017 can be explained by the games played column – Ridley actually has a higher yards per game mark in '17 than '15, and would have more receptions, too, if he were used in the same role.

Himy Muniz-Talavera, PhD Heading link
Himy is originally from Puerto Rico where she obtained her bachelor's degree in biology from The University of Puerto Rico-Mayagϋez. Upon finishing her bachelor's degree, she decided to continue her studies in biomedical science, and she obtained her doctorate degree from The University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) where study the genetic etiology to juvenile hydrocephalus. During her time at UIC, she performed a molecular characterization of a novel hydrocephalus gene, Jhy, and identified its role in the differentiation of ependymal cells-responsible for proper cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow in the brain.
Himy is a basic scientist who has dedicated most of her career trying to understand illnesses affecting pediatric populations. In 2016, Himy was looking for postdoctoral opportunities and when she interviewed at St. Jude, she immediately fell at awe at the cutting-edge research and she was encouraged to see an institution where science and medicine connected in so many ways. She then decided to join St. Jude as a postdoctoral fellow under the direction of Dr. Paul A. Northcott in the Department of Developmental Neurobiology, where her work focused on the development of preclinical models for medulloblastoma – the most common malignant pediatric brain tumor.
After three years as a researcher in St. Jude, Himy had a change of heart and she began looking for clinical positions hoping to transfer her expertise from the bench and provide a new perspective into the clinical world. Coming from a different culture has taught Himy to truly value the outstanding resources provided by St. Jude, and in this role as a Clinical Research Associate in Global Pediatric Medicine she looks forward to contributing into making an impact on the accessibility of quality care for children worldwide. Her work in GPM consists in the fostering of global partnerships and collaborations with physicians in partnering sites to promote quality care and improve patient outcomes globally.

I received my Ph.D. in biology from the University of Illinois at Chicago in December of 2016. I am interested in terrestrial food webs and their influence on ecosystem processes and services. My dissertation research focused on how invasive plants affect belowground ecosystems, with an emphasis on soil arthropod food webs. I am currently a National Science Foundation Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Wisconsin at Madison where I am studying how vegetation structure influences feedback interactions between plant and soil food webs in subarctic Iceland.

In 2002, I joined a graduate program in the biological sciences at the University of Illinois in Chicago. In the laboratory of Dr. Janet Richmond, I studied the mechanism of synaptic transmission using C. elegans as a model system. I have mastered and employed such techniques as high pressure freeze and freeze substitution to preserve nerve tissue for morphological and immuno-EM analysis to study the function of several synaptic proteins including tomosyn, UNC-18, UNC-13, Rim, syntaxin and CAPS. Shortly after obtaining my PhD in 2007, I joined the laboratory of Dr. David Julius at the University of California San Francisco in 2008. During that time, I worked on understanding how animals sense infrared light, and discovered fascinating molecules that allow bats and infrared-sensing snakes to find their prey in the dark. Currently, I am Associated Professor at Yale University School of Medicine. The main goal of my lab is to understand the molecular basis of temperature sensitivity under normal, adaptive and pathological conditions. We are using non-standard animal models such as hibernating thirteen-lined ground squirrels and Syrian hamsters to delineate molecular and cellular aspects of somatosensitivity and thermoregulation. We are using multi-disciplinary approach, including electrophysiology, molecular biology, imaging, behavioral paradigms, genomics, trascriptomics and bioinformatics.

In my PhD at UIC, I trained in bacterial signal transduction networks and regulation of gene expression at the level of RNA transcription and protein phosphorylation. In 2007, I moved to Tufts University, USA to study the torpedo-like mechanism of transcriptional termination by RNA polymerase II in yeast. From 2008-2017, I investigated regulatory mechanisms that control two distinct post-transcriptional and post-translational modifications: Elongator-dependent tRNA wobble uridine modifications, and diphthamide formation in eEF2, at University of Dundee, UK, and Universität Kassel, Germany. From 2018, I will be investigating structural and molecular mechanisms for the transcriptional co-activator ''Mediator'' in response to different stresses at Umeå University, Sweden.

I'm a plant ecologist interested in exploring the processes controlling the dynamics of plant communities in changing environments. I hold a BS degree from the Universidad de Los Andes in Colombia where I'm originally from. For my dissertation I explored the effects of hunting on seedling recruitment on two plants species primarily dispersed by primates in the Colombian Amazon. I obtained a PhD at the University of Illinois at Chicago under the direction of Dr. Henry Howe. For my graduate work, I conducted a study at Los Tuxtlas forest, Southern Mexico, where I explored the effects of forest fragmentation on the dynamics of the late-successional tropical tree, Poulsenia armata (Moraceae). I'm currently a postdoctoral fellow at The National Socio-Environmental Synthesis Center.
Jenny Zambrano | Mentor: Professor Henry Howe
For the past year I have worked as a postdoctoral scholar in the laboratory of Dr. Allison Hansen at the University of California, Riverside. Under Dr. Hansen's guidance, I am broadly studying evolutionary genomics of insect microbe interactions. Specifically, I am working with Hemipteran insects, such as the pea aphid (A. pisum), which are major agricultural pests and vectors for numerous plant diseases. These insects feed on a nutrient poor diets (plant sap), therefore they have evolved obligate symbionts to supplement their diet by synthesizing vitamins and essential amino acids for the insect host. Ultimately, these symbionts give insects the ability to colonize nutrient-poor host plants. My goal is to further understand how plant diet composition influences the Hemipteran gene regulatory networks that control its nutritional symbiont throughout the development of both the insect and the symbiont, and if/how DNA methylation, possibly induced by the insect's diet, alters this regulation. This past year has been productive and I am currently finishing up a project characterizing the aphid's development and the timing of key stages as it feeds on plants versus various artificial diets, and a project where I am characterizing the transcriptiome and methylome of the aphid at various developmental timepoints as it feeds and develops on its universal host plant, the fava bean. Both of these will be useful baselines for comparison in future work where we begin studying the effects of both diet and symbiont manipulation on this system.

The "class of beetles," where beetles that were collected and assembled at Las Alturas biological station in Costa Rica in 2015 as part of an NSF funded REU. The beetles were collected by the REU students and José part of this 8-week REU program in Costa Rica.
José's Testimonial:
I'm currently a Faculty Fellow at Harper College, where I teach introductory biology classes to both Bio and Non-Bio Majors.
In the summer of 2018, I was a research mentor and field Instructor for a National Science Foundation REU (Research Experience for Undergraduates) for U.S. underrepresented minority students in science. The program is funded through the NSF Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (LSAMP) grant; the program is run by the Organization for Tropical Studies at the Las Cruces biological research station in Costa Rica. I mentored 2 Latino, undergraduate students; they performed an 8-week research project focusing on how tropical woodland restoration influences the insect community. I also served as a field instructor to the other 16 students, where I taught them entomological methods to collect insects for research projects. In the Summer of 2019, I will return to Costa Rica for a new summer semester and a new cohort of REU students.

17 DECEMBER 2005, Page 69
Christmas appeal
James Delingpole
My TV column the other week was really quite good, I thought. So good in fact that for a brief moment I imagined there might be some point to my miserable existence. I watched a friend of mine read it and laugh in all the right places; I read it through again and admired how unforced it all was, and how wise and true some of my aperçus were, and what an impressive amount of telly I had watched that week. 'See, James,' I said to myself. 'You know how you're always beating yourself up for not having taken your uncle's advice and gone to law school, and for not earning as much money as all your friends in the City? Well, let me tell you most of them would give their eye teeth for the talent you've got. You're funny. You write like an angel. You add to the gaiety of the nation. Lots of people know who you are. You have an interesting life. You're not prematurely middle-aged. So stop being so miserable. Things really aren't as bad as you think.' But I think I must have been on drugs or something because the sentiment didn't last. Today, as I expect to remain throughout Christmas, into New Year, and probably even unto the next Christmas and the one after that, I am back to my default mode which is: despair, self-hatred, resentment, paranoia and fear.
Why? Well, why do you sodding well think? Because each year that goes by, all my friends seem to get stratospherically richer while I just get poorer and poorer. If they were more brilliant than me or if they had desperately miserable working lives I wouldn't mind. But neither is the case. Half of them didn't even go to Oxbridge, I'm way more fun and informed and brave and better in quizzes than any of them, and not one of them seems to hate their jobs nearly as much as I'd like.
So this week, instead of scrabbling through the Radio Times to find a Christmas programme that's not only worth reviewing but also available on preview tape, I thought I'd do something far more useful with the space. I would launch the James Delingpole Christmas Benefit Appeal. Obviously, only contribute if you can afford it. But if you're the Sultan of Brunei or J.K. Rowling or you work at Goldman Sachs and you're wondering what to do with your Christmas bonus and how best to say thanks to someone who, for over ten years now, has been setting new standards in humorous, war-centric, me-journalism, well, you know what to do.
£5 buys me — well, bugger all, actually. Is there anything you can still buy for a fiver these days? Not after all Gordon Brown's stealth taxes, I don't think. £8 buys me a reasonable bottle of wine. Something single estate from Chile, say. This used to be true for a fiver, but no more — see above.
£70 to £150 buys me a hireling for a day's hunting. Hunting, I've belatedly discovered, is the most exciting, noble, important sport man has ever devised, and even though I am a crap rider, and even though I get so fearful of death or injury that I have to chug about eight gallons of cherry brandy/whisky mac/port, etc., before I set off, and though I definitely can't afford it, I still want to do it as often as possible while I am physically capable.
£120 buys me half an ounce of herbal entertainment from Jamaica. High Grade, it's called. None of that Skunk filth for me. Poor I may be but I have my pride.
£200 upwards buys me a black hunt coat. I think my wife's secretly trying to get me one for Christmas off eBay, but I'm not sure how easy it will be. I'm a small 38, roughly. So if you've one you need to be rid of, let me know at Jamesdel@dircon.co.uk.
£1,000 buys me a flat-screen TV (in case the Christmas Appeal fails and I still have to do this column and we get some new editor who doesn't understand the rule about it being OK for me not to write about TV in my TV column).
£1,500 buys me some handmade top boots (see above).
£7,000 approx. buys me a second-hand family car. Our old one has just blown up and died. My fault: I didn't change the timing belt (whatever that is) and it flew off and wrapped itself round the engine. After much deliberation, we think we're probably going to go for a Mondeo. Terribly naff, I know. But there's loads of them around and you get a lot of car for your money.
£15,000 pays off my next tax bill, for which, so far, I have saved no more than a grand and it's due at the end of January. I'm not making this up and I find it terrifying and very wrong. If, as everyone tells me, I'm doing so well, how come I can't afford to live?
£25,000 pays for Ivo to go to Eton for a year, where, I hope, he will learn to be ashamed of me and leave determined not to do anything so stupid as to become an impoverished writer/novelist.
£50,000 (I'm guessing) pays for an assassin to kill Ken Livingstone. Apart from Dave Cameron winning the next election, I really can't think of any political event which would give me more satisfaction. The death of the Routemaster must be avenged.
£325,000 pays off my mortgage.
£5,000,000 (approx.) enables me to retire to the country, ride to hounds, potter about in the garden, dabble with novels and never ever again have to peddle my sorry arse round Fleet Street grovelling to and begging ruthless, uncaring, philistine editors for meagre scraps of work.

HomeH&F and police crackdown on Shepherds Bush crime
Publish date28 December 2022
Categoriesnews Communitynews, Crimenews
A three-month programme to tackle crime and anti-social behaviour in Shepherds Bush is underway.
Hammersmith & Fulham Council and the Met Police have launched an ambitious action plan to improve safety on Shepherds Bush Green and in the surrounding streets around Uxbridge Road.
The operation – titled 'Project W12' – is a direct response to drug and safety concerns raised by residents in the area.
Thomas Cooke, Acting Sergeant (Sgt) for Shepherds Bush Green at the Metropolitan Police, said: "We have reacted to community concerns and crime rates in Shepherds Bush Green. Anyone in the community should be able to walk through here without intimidation."
Watch the H&F cracks down on Shepherds Bush crime hotspot video on YouTube.
The area has already seen a decrease in anti-social behaviour, with one resident reporting: "It has made a huge difference to quality of life. Much quieter around the northern part of the green towards Westfield."
Since coming into effect, the closure has helped to close two local drug dens and to make 10 arrests for Class A drug offences.
In addition to more patrols and a more visible police presence, we've removed the benches near the children's playground area to help discourage street drinking and drug use.
Listening to residents
In 2022, we asked hundreds of residents and visitors, specifically women and girls, about their safety concerns and how we could make the borough safer for all.
The feedback highlighted Shepherds Bush Green as a hub for drug and alcohol induced crime. H&F's Law Enforcement Team has been working with local businesses and residents.
"Meeting with the residents has helped us to understand what the residents' concerns are and what the residents want," said Clifford Pinto, Law Enforcement Officer at H&F Council. "They want a safer and cleaner area, like everyone else."
Partial closure order
Supported by local intelligence passed on from local residents to H&F's LET and CCTV teams, the Met Police have obtained a partial closure order for the Green.
The new rules provide officers with additional powers, enabling them to prevent and shut down crime as it occurs, including street drinking, drug use, and any form of abusive or threatening behaviour.
The order covers the whole of Shepherds Bush Green Common and Uxbridge Road, Aldine Street, Bulwer Street, Bourbon Lane, Tadmor Street, Caxton Road, Sterne Street and Shepherds Bush Place.
"The partial closure order doesn't restrict anyone from entering the Green," explained Sgt Cooke.
Three mobile CCTV cameras have already been deployed in the area.
Next, we're planning to upgrade all permanent CCTV cameras in the area. Set to take place in March 2023, the upgrade will equip the existing cameras with a full 360-degree view to ensure that all incidents can be captured at any given time.
It's part of a wider plan to help:
reduce drug dealing, crime and rough sleeping on Shepherds Bush Green
increase women's safety in the area during the day and at night
protect young people from violence and exploitation
improve the environment on the Green, including the children's playground area
ensure residents feel safer around local transport hubs.
Monthly drop-in sessions
If you've got safety concerns in your area, our LET Officers are here to help.
Speak to one of our friendly officers when you see them out and about, or plan a visit at the LET's regular drop in-sessions at Shepherds Bush Library, Hammersmith Library and Fulham Library.
The sessions take place every 1st, 2nd and 3rd Monday of the month, between 2pm-4pm.
The next one at Shepherds Bush Library will take place on 6 February. Find the full schedule on the H&F LET webpage.
You can contact the LET via email on let.hf@lbhf.gov.uk, or call 0208 753 1100 and select option 3.
Make the call
In case of an emergency, always call 999.
To report incidents that do not require an emergency response, residents can call 101 or contact Crimestoppers.
Crimestoppers – an independent charity that is not part of the police – is an option for anyone needing to report a crime anonymously.
Call 0800 555 111 or visit the Crimestoppers website.

Copper cookware is just as useful as it is beautiful.
While it's not as hardy as cast iron or as cheap as aluminum cookware, the pieces you'll find from Brooklyn Copper Cookware or Mauviel, are embodiments of good science and craftsmanship.
So, what should you look for? The best copper pans are handcrafted—hammered out by a coppersmith, then lined with pure tin (by a tinsmith) before being fit with a cast iron handle (by an ironsmith). Legit.
Copper mixing bowls look pretty incredible too.
Just remember two extremely important things: (1) Don't ever heat an empty copper pan, as they tend to melt at around 425˚F or 450˚F. You can heat up your copper at about half the heat level you would use for an average pot or pan because it just conducts energy very efficiently—thus its frequent use in electrical wiring. And (2) Regularly shine your copper with a lightly acidic solution (like vinegar or lemon juice) or with copper cleaner to prevent tarnishing. Alternatively, take a page from Grandmère Lefebvre and use a combination of flour, lemon juice, vinegar, and egg whites.
Note: If you happen to buy used copper cookware, it might need to be retinned. According to Mac Kohler of Brooklyn Copper, if any copper is peeking through the tin, or if it's shiny and silvery, or if you see fine blisters where the edge of the pot meets the bottom—it's time for a tune up.
"I would not feel French, if I did not have copper in my kitchen," he says. "And if you maintain it really well, you'll have it all your life." That's the sign of a worthy investment.
Though the dough can be temperamental, layer after delicate layer will convince you: Making this pastry is worth the effort.


The arm of a small Amygdala Great One.
any sort, but certain madmen wield them like clubs.
when extended, the arm quivers as if it were still alive.
The Amygdalan Arm requires a hefty 17 strength to use. So while all characters by default meet the minimal skill requirement of 9 for this weapon, an investment in strength is necessary to wield it. Accordingly, this weapon scales best with strength, and receives excellent ratings at higher levels of upgrade. The normal moveset of this weapon is most effective against singular foes, whereas the transformed moveset is best applied against groups of enemies. The dual nature of this weapon makes it fairly adaptable between situations. In addition, this weapon inflicts a solid amount of arcane damage in both modes and scales moderately well with the stat. This is a valuable option for hunters focusing on strength and arcane.
Normal Mode: The Amygdalan Arm's normal mode is very straightforward. The majority of its attacks are short, heavy swings aimed immediately ahead of your character. This mode is best suited for close combat with single foes; however, the windups are slow, which limits its use against more evasive targets. This mode deals almost exclusively blunt damage, making it useful against enemies weak to this particular type.
Transformed Mode: The Amygdalan Arm's transform mode is quite superior to its normal mode. It has far better reach and uses a similar amount of stamina with each attack. In fact, it will suit most situations much better due to its wider variety of moves. If you are fighting crowds or enemies resistant to blunt damage, transformed mode is the way to go.
Normal: Treasure in Hunter's Nightmare, after the Grand Cathedral area where you go to the right into the tunnel. Follow it down until you reach the blood pools with all the spiders. Head to the right side of those blood pools (behind the car is a path) and there will be a tunnel. Clear the enemies [Blood-starved Beast] inside of the cave and the Amygdalan Arm will be in there to the right.
Equipping an elemental gem will not convert the Amygdalan Arm's physical damage to elemental, nor can it be buffed with the use of items. Tempering gems can be used to increase the damage of blunt attacks, but they won't affect your arcane damage. Instead, consider using Nourishing gems; these are a much better use of your slots and will increase your damage overall. If you are without Nourishing gems, Arcane and Odd Arcane gems with physical attack increasing secondary effects can be used to supplement its already good arcane damage. Radiant gems are another good use of your slots, as they will offset its above average stamina usage. Also note that the Amygdalan Arm has two powerful charging attacks that can be greatly improved with Striking gems. For more information check the Best Blood Gem Setups page.
Normal Mode: While lacking in speed and range, each hit will remove a solid amount of enemy super armor; you can use this to lock most normal enemies into the Amygdalan Arm's R1 chain. However, this is not recommended against sturdier enemies, who will strike back before their super armor's breaking point. In these instances, swift, single blows such as quickstep R1s will suffice.
The charged R2 is especially powerful, but takes a long time to fully charge. An upside to the long charge is that it gives plenty of time for you to change its direction. This attack can stagger enemies from behind, opening them up for a rear visceral attack, but you may instead want to use its powerful follow up R2. Both attacks have massive impact, giving ample time for the follow up while enemies are grounded from the first - just be sure to conserve your stamina to use it.
The dashing R2 has a good damage multiplier and decent swing speed. The main drawback to this attack is in its long recovery; this won't be much of an issue against most enemies thanks to its high super armor reduction and impact. Take note, the transformation attack is one of this mode's more useful tools; it has good speed and heavy impact, making it ripe for longer combos.
Transformed Mode: The first two swings of the R1 chain hit in wide horizontal arcs that are exceptionally, good for handling multiple enemies. In this situation, however, you'll want to back out rather than continue, since the following two swings move vertically. One of best features of these of attacks is that, despite their wide range, they can be swung freely without the repercussion of bouncing off walls.
The R2 of this weapon is an odd one, but that is precisely its strength! If you perform no other actions, including movement, a second surprise hit will execute after the initial slash; if the first hit doesn't break your target's super armor, this additional one will usually do the trick. Another easy way to break super armor is by using the leaping R2. When facing enemies with high amounts of super armor, use this as a follow up attack to ensure they are stumbled during your recovery.
The charged R2 uses the same gimmick as the standard R2, but is by far the dirtiest move this mode has to offer. On top of dealing high damage, the massive impact of this attack will send enemies straight to the ground. If you stand idle after, your character will perform two delayed slashes made for hitting enemies as they recover. This deals a lot of damage and can cause enemies to stumble more than once. For even better damage, immediately follow the charged R2 with a massive impact transformation attack.
Durability of the weapon depletes when used. This means hitting an enemy, destructible object or bouncing off the walls. Hitting undestructible objects and environment does not deplete your durability. Style of an attack or upgrade of the weapon, even different weapon, does not matter - each count as one hit. Every 10th hit against the enemy/object depletes 1 durability. Exception is Tonitrus, which when in self buffed mode, depletes durability at rate of 2 hits. Hitting an enemy in dying animation still counts as hit. Also hitting multiple enemies/destructible objects at once counts as one hit per enemy - hitting 3 enemies at once counts as 3 hits towards durability counter. Shields lose 1 durability every 10th hit. Bounce means when your hit is bounced back off the wall or other objects. Every 5th bounce depletes 1 durability. Not every weapon can be bounced off, Amygdalan Arm belongs into the category which cannot.
Damage reduction when heavily worn. When weapon is at 30% of total durability, it reaches the Risk state and AR is reduced by 30% and when it hits 0% of total durability, weapon is Broken, then AR is reduced by 50%. Amygdalan Arm which has 200 points of durability reaches risk state at 60 Dur. Workshop's Repair: cost of repair depends on the weapon and its upgrade. For Amygdalan Arm +0 it's 2 Blood Echoes per 1 point and for Amygdalan Arm +10 it's 8 (values are rounded), full repair costs for +10 are 1600 Blood Echoes.

Sexual revolution: S. Korean court abolishes punishment for extramarital affairs
Reuters/Jo Yong-Hak © Reuters
It's time to engage in extra-marital sex without fear of prosecution, South Korea's constitutional court has ruled, effectively ending a 62-year ban. Condom stocks soared immediately after the ruling.
South Korea, until Thursday, was one of the few non-Muslim countries which struggled with the law on this matter. North Korea and Taiwan are among the others.
The Constitutional Court believes the law is an attack on personal freedoms. This means anyone tried since October 21, 2008, when the court had upheld the ban, could get a second shot at justice, while current charges can be thrown out.
The number of charged stands at 5,400 people in the period between November 2008 and January 2015, according to the prosecutor's office.
The most that South Koreans had previously risked was two years in prison, but that figure probably sounds less impressive than the number caught in the act and prosecuted since 1985. That stands at 53,000. Prison sentences, though, turned out to be quite rare.
The lifting of the ban has begun to take effect on certain areas of life straight off. Condom manufacturer Unidus Corp. benefited from it greatly, as its stocks went up by a whopping 15 percent.
The law prohibiting adultery has been the topic of heated debate ever since its inception in 1952, owing in part to South Korea's constantly changing social trends.
Now the tide appears to have turned the way of the people, with a big win for extra-marital sex. Seven judges out of nine ruled in favor. Six are needed to kill a piece of legislation.
"Even if adultery should be condemned as immoral, state power should not intervene in individuals' private lives," said presiding Justice Park Han-chul.
"[The law] excessively restricts citizens' basic rights, such as the right to determine sexual affairs," the court also stated.
This was the fifth time the constitutional right of the state has been under review in the matter. What opened the case up again were 17 complaints since 2009 by individuals charged with adultery. Their cases were to be dropped pending the outcome of the court's deliberations.
Adultery once led to harsher punishment only in the event of the accusation being filed during divorce proceedings. The case would be dropped in the event of the aggrieved spouse electing not to pursue it. With time, this increasingly coincided with financial payouts. Therefore, legal experts in South Korea no longer see the adultery ban as a truly useful tool.
And the view of the law's overall inappropriateness extends today even to more conservative members of society.
"Adultery must be censured morally and socially, but such a law is inappropriate in a modern society," Ko Seon-ju with the civic group Healthy Families told AFP.
"It used to be an effective legal tool to protect female rights, but equal rights legislation has improved… "Adultery is an issue that should be dealt with through dialogue between the partners, not by law," she also said.

The feud between the former governor of Ebonyi State, Chief Martin Elechi, and his successor, Mr. David Umahi, is not yet over. Elechi continues to talk angrily about the circumstances and developments that shaped the 2015 general elections.
At Elechi's thanksgiving service on April 3, he resurrected his grudge, saying he has "no regret" opposing Umahi's candidature. The former governor said if a similar situation was repeated, he would still toe his line of stiff resistance to Umahi's governorship ambition. Elechi's argument was that Umahi was not accommodating enough to govern the state.
Since after the results of the elections were declared in favour of the Peoples Democratic Party's candidates in the state, especially the governorship candidate, Elechi has maintained that the election was stage-managed and skewed against the Labour Party candidate.
The former governor does not seem to believe the verdicts of the tribunal, appeal court and Supreme Court that upheld Umahi's victory. In spite of the judgements and rulings, Elechi still maintains that no such election was conducted in the state and even if conducted, it was won by his Labour Party candidate, Edward Nkwegu.
At the peak of the election, Elechi had decried that the PDP governorship primary was stage-managed and skewed against his preferred candidate, Professor Onyebuchi Chukwu, who was health minister, using federal might.
Continuous disgust at the emergence of Umahi at the last general election was a highpoint of Elechi's thanksgiving service in his Ikwo council area. It was a kind of stock taking, which focused on his travails with his former deputy, Umahi. Elechi had been angered that despite his opposition, Umahi went ahead with his governorship ambition.
Elechi had wanted Senator Chris Nwankwo to return to the senate instead of Dr Sam Egwu, the former governor's predecessor. This was where the battle line was drawn.
Elechi's persistence seemed understandable. If Egwu had wanted to contest with his minority one local government, he could not defeat Nwankwo, Elechi's in-law, who has three local government areas in his populous Izzi clan.
But with the alleged politics of division and clannish interest in Izzi clan at the perceived instance of Elechi's wife, Josephine, the people of Izzi were displeased with Elechi. He lost grip on all the major nationalities in the state, especially the most populous Ezza clan. Elechi became politically vulnerable in the state politics.
However, he was able to hold tight his 13 council caretaker committee chairmen.
Before the general election, the Federal High Court sitting in Abakaliki had sacked all the chairmen because of the illegality of the Option A4 method used by the state electoral umpire.
As the supremacy battle intensified, Elechi ran to the Presidency to seek the help of the then President Goodluck Jonathan for the PDP primaries in Ebonyi to be cancelled. First, he alleged that the delegates in the primaries were all fake.
In 2014, preparatory to the general election, Elechi was said to have gathered "charlatans and thugs" in his Government House lodge in a meeting the purpose of which was unknown to the people. After sometime, Elechi addressed the people, saying after due consultation and assessment of who should succeed him, he had come to the choice of Chukwu for the sake equity, fairness and justice in line with his resolve to shift power to the southern senatorial zone.
This pronouncement did not go down well with many stakeholders, who lamented that Elechi did not consult them and the nationalities in the state. Particularly piqued by Elechi's pronouncement was a frontline politician, elder statesman and Second Republic senator, Dr Offia Nwali, who described the endorsement as "fruitless and political misadventure".
Nwali said the anointment of Chukwu was not acceptable and could not stand.
Before Chukwu's controversial endorsement, speculations were high that Umahi was the preferred candidate of Elechi. However, stakeholders and Umahi saw Elechi's pronouncement as a betrayal of thrust and their gentlemanly agreement, they had in 2011, when Elechi was said to have begged Umahi to deputise him and also use his popularity to win the hotly contested election. The idea, according to feelers, was that Elechi would support Umahi to succeed him.
Having been disappointed by his former boss, Umahi took charge of his own destiny and persevered to exercise his fundamental rights. Elechi saw Umahi's determination as an affront.
When Elechi noticed that he had lost the battle during the primaries, the former governor ran to the Presidency to ask that the concluded governorship primary for Ebonyi State should be cancelled. That did not succeed.
After failing to alter the congress results, Elechi defected to the Labour Party, where he supported Edward Nkwegu from the North zone to contest against Umahi, using the numerical strength of the Izzi clan, where Nkwegu hails from. Elechi justified his defection, using his "Taxi- Driver theory" that when a car grounds on a journey, the passengers will come down and board another taxi while the driver stays to fix his taxi.
Nkwegu's candidature further consolidated Umahi's camp when people saw that there was no sincerity in Elechi's charter of equity. At that time, most of the stakeholders from Umuenkumenyi, made up of Ebonyi North and Central zones, teamed up against Elechi to support Umahi, having seen no light in Elechi's political adventure to the Labour Party.
The timing of Elechi's thanksgiving service, which was fixed at a time when the country was mourning the demise of the governor's mother, late Deaconess Margaret Umahi, has been condemned in some quarters. It was held on a day the whole country was at Uburu for the thanksgiving service following the burial of the late matriarch, which was also attended by Vice President Yemi Osibanjo.
Elechi has, however, been criticised for his comments at the thanksgiving service.
The Ebonyi State president of National Youth Council of Nigeria and former state chairman of the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria, Elder Sam Igwe, said the statements were uncalled for.
