Q: Regular Expression not matching content in PHP I am trying to scrape an ebay page such as this one: http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/Cars-/9801/i.html?_nkw=vw+golf
Everything works great except one of my regular expressions just isn't matching the content and therefore the matches aren't being pushed to $linksArray I have outputted the contents to make sure what I am trying to match is infact there - and it is. I then go print_r($linksArray) where all the matches should be. but it's not. It is an empty multi dimensional array. You can see my live example here: http://www.mycommunity.co.za/marcksack/index.php
Here is my PHP code:
<?php
echo '<form method="POST">
<input type="text" id="url" name="url" size="120" value="' . (isset($_REQUEST["url"]) && !empty($_REQUEST["url"]) ? $_REQUEST["url"] : "") . '"/>
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>';
flush();

if (isset($_REQUEST["url"]) && !empty($_REQUEST["url"])) {
    $url = $_REQUEST["url"];
    $phones = array();
    for ($page = 1; $page <= 1; $page++) {

        // get page contents

        $contents = file_get_contents($url . "&_pgn=" . $page);
        echo(htmlentities($contents));
        // find all links patterns
        // HERE IS THE PROBLEM
        $pattern = '/class="lvtitle"><a href=\"", "", $link);
            $pureLink = str_replace("\" class=\"vip\"", "", $pureLink);

            // getting sub page contents

            $subContents = file_get_contents($pureLink);

            // find all links patterns

            $subContents = str_replace(" ", "", $subContents);
            $phonePattern = '/07[0-9]{9}/';
            $phonesArray = array();
            preg_match_all($phonePattern, $subContents, $phonesArray);
            foreach($phonesArray[0] as $element) {

                // check if phone not added previousely to the phones array

                if (!in_array($element, $phones)) {

                    // add it to the phones array

                    array_push($phones, $element);
                    echo $element . "
";
                    flush();
                }
            }
        }
    }

    // print results
    foreach($phones as $phone){
        echo $phone."
";
    }

}

?>

So obviously my question is what am I doing wrong? Why are the matches not being pushed to my $linksArray variable. I really appreciate your help!

A: This regex works:
"/ class=\"lvtitle\"><a href=\"([^\"]*)\"  class=\"vip\"/"

A few issues with your's:

*

*You were trying to capture the URL using (.*), which will match the entire line.

*It was not matching the entire line because ebay has two spaces in between the class and href attributes.

Also, as has already been mentioned, you should use the API or DOMDocument for this. But in case you are curious, this is why it wasn't working. I hope that helps!

Memo Morales, Guillermo Enrique Morales Portillo (Maracaibo, 1937. április 6. – Caracas, 2017. január 1.) venezuelai énekes.

Élete
Morales zenészcsaládba született, így már gyermekként rádiós énekversenyeken vett részt. 1945-ben Caracasban részt vett a "Proarte infantil" versenyen, ahol a "Princesita rubia" előadásával első díjat nyert.

1953-ban kezdte zenei pályafutását, mint a Garrido y sus Solistas zenekar énekese. 1954-ben költözött Caracasba és ekkor kezdett Juanito Artetával és zenekarával dolgozni. 1958-ban Carlos Torres zenekarának az énekese lett. 1959-60-ban a Larraín zenekar, 1961 és 1964 között a Pedroza y sus Caciques és a Hermanos Salani zenekarok tagja volt. 1964-ben csatlakozott a Billo's Caracas Boys zenekarhoz akikkel olyan neves előadókkal dolgozott együtt mint Cheo García (El Guarachero de América) és José Luis Rodríguez (El Puma). Többek között a "Ni Se Compra, Ni Se Vende" és a "Viva España" dalokkal népszerűsítették a pasodoble-t. További slágerei voltak ebben az időszakban a "Se Necesitan Dos", a "Rumores", a "Parece Mentira", az "El Tunante", a "Dámele Betún", a "Juanita Bonita", a "Qué Tienes Tú", az "Eva", és a "La Rubia y la Trigueña".

1976-ban sikeres koncertsorozatot tartott az Egyesült Államokban. Fellépett New Yorkban, Los Angelesben, San Franciscóban és Miamiban. 1981-ben Luisín Landaezzel megalakította a La Nuestra együttest. Később ismét csatlakozott hozzájuk Cheo García és 1984-től La Gran Orquesta de Cheo y Memo néven zenéltek. García 1994-ben bekövetkezett halála után a zenekar feloszlott.

2016. december 31-én szilveszterekor a caracasi katonai kórházban adott koncertet majd éjfél után a Hermandad Gallegában újévi koncert közben szívrohamot kapott és kórházba szállítás közben elhunyt.

This is one of my favorite recipes that I have been making since my college days in the 1970s, and since fresh veggies are now in season i thought it would be a good time to share it. (although, since i am on a low carb diet at the moment i will have to wait a bit before i can have some. BIG SIGH!!) I have served it to many people who swear that they don't like eggplant and it is always a big hit. My daughters even liked it when they were kids, and although they are both now vegetarians, they wouldn't voluntarily allow a vegetable to pass their lips as children.
I never think to use eggplant. I may have to try this. :) Thanks for the follow! I'm following you now, too.
This sounds lovely, definitely going to try it!
i'm glad you shared this. i'm growing eggplants again and lost the recipe!
Hi! Thank you so much for stopping by http://littleislandstudios.blogspot.com/! Gorgeous blog you have...and I love eggplant!! Have a great day! Happily following!
Thanks so much for visiting & the follow! Following you back! This dish sounds amazing!
Never know what to do with eggplant, thanks for sharing this recipe!
Following from the Tuesday blog hop.

"Women's football is the fastest growing area of the game and it is hugely exciting to be taking up this role at this time"
Kenny Shiels has previously managed Northern Ireland U17s alongside various club management roles
Kenny Shiels has been named as the new manager of the Northern Ireland women's team.
The former Kilmarnock, Derry City and Morton boss replaces Alfie Wylie, who became the head of women's elite performance earlier this year.
Shiels previously spent eight years coaching the Northern Ireland U17s alongside his club management roles, the last of which was at Derry between 2015 and 2018.
"I am extremely proud to have been appointed to this role and I am delighted to be manager of my country's senior women's international team," said Shiels.
"Women's football is the fastest growing area of the game and it is hugely exciting to be taking up this role at this time.
"I want to do everything that I can to bring success to Northern Ireland.
"There is a lot of work to do but I am convinced that I can help this group of players compete and push for qualification for major tournaments."
Irish FA chief executive Patrick Nelson praised Shiels, someone he believes can take the team forward.
"Kenny Shiels is a fantastic coach with vast experience in the game," said Nelson.
"He has the necessary skill-set and knowledge to make a positive difference to our international side.
"I am excited about watching how he will develop our team and am confident he will help Northern Ireland be successful in the months and years to come."
The first objective for Shiels is to prepare for the UEFA Women's Euro 2021 qualifying campaign.
Northern Ireland have been drawn in Group C alongside Norway, Wales, Belarus, and the Faroe Islands, with their opening match coming at home to Norway on August 30.

USPTO Publishes Final Rule for Foreign Trademark Applicants
Rob LeBlanc in IP Magazine: USPTO Publishes Final Rule for Foreign Trademark Applicants
Haynes and Boone, LLP Associate Rob LeBlanc talked with Intellectual Property Magazine about the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office's (USPTO's) final rule requiring all foreign trademark applicants to be represented by a U.S. attorney.
Here is an excerpt:
Originally proposed in February, the office has issued guidelines that foreign-domiciled trademark applicants, registrants and parties involved in Trademark Trial and Appeal Board proceedings must use an attorney who is licensed to practice law in the country.
Haynes and Boone's Robert LeBlanc commented that "there can be no doubt that the rule change will also substantially increase business for U.S. trademark lawyers. From the USPTO's (conservative) estimates, nearly $100 million dollars in new prosecution business could be driven to U.S. lawyers annually."
He added that this rule change "brings the U.S. in line with many foreign jurisdictions, including the EU, Japan, and China."
The changes apply to all trademark applicants, registrants, and parties whose permanent legal residence or principal place of business is outside the U.S., including Canadian applicants, registrants, and parties.

Apple Trademarks 'Graphulator' and 'Bonjour' [Update]
Friday February 18, 2005 1:56 pm PST by Arnold Kim
A simple search for current trademarks by Apple Computer at The US Patent and Trademark office reveals a new trademark for "computer hardware; computer software" under the mark "Graphulator".
The trademark was filed on February 3rd 2005 by Apple Computer.
Apple has also trademarked 'Bonjour' in late January which is reportedly to be used to rename Apple's current Rendezvous technology due to litigation.
(A previous report from eWeek had hinted that Rendezvous would be renamed to Opentalk, but a final decision had not been made at the time of that article)
While Apple's trademarks have traditionally preceded new products, Apple does also hold trademarks for several names which have never been used. (Gigawire, iWrite and others).
Update: The leading candidate for "Graphulator", however, appears to be the recently Apple-acquired application Curvus Pro X.
Update: All references to Rendezvous has been changed to Bonjour in the latest Tiger seed. (8A385)

Der Edge East Side Tower Berlin (Eigenschreibweise: EDGE East Side Berlin) ist ein im Jahr 2018 geplantes und begonnenes Bürohochhaus im Berliner Ortsteil Friedrichshain (Bezirk Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg), für das im November 2019 die endgültige Baugenehmigung erteilt wurde. Der 142 Meter hohe Turm mit markanter Fassadenstruktur entsteht am südlichen Ende der Warschauer Brücke und soll 2023 eingeweiht werden.

Planung und Ausführung
Den Entwürfen ging ein Einladungswettbewerb an drei Architektenteams voraus, den das dänische Architekturbüro Bjarke Ingels Group gewann. Die Senatsvorgaben orientierten sich am gültigen Berliner Bebauungsplan aus dem Jahr 2004, der den Titel Rough & Wild trug und das Ziel verfolgte, den Einzelturm gut in die bereits vorhandene Bebauung der Umgebung einzupassen. Dies bezieht sich nicht nur auf die East Side Gallery, sondern auch auf die Allianz-Treptowers (Bebauungsplan V-3, Mark 1). Der Bebauungsplan erscheint damit im Zusammenhang mit der Entwicklung der Mediaspree, für die ab 2002 von Seiten des Senats ein neuer Flächennutzungsplan für das Gebiet vorlag.

Auf der Basis des Bebauungsplans lag ein Planungsrecht vor, zu dem im Verlauf des Jahres 2018 Gespräche mit dem Bezirk und dem Baukollegium stattfanden. Am 19. März 2019 wurde dann ein Bauantrag durch die Della S.à.r.l. (Luxembourg) eingereicht. Der Baugenehmigung wurde am 2. September 2019 durch das Bezirksamt Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg erteilt. Das Baukollegium der Senatsverwaltung hatte weitere Anpassungen des ersten Entwurfs gefordert, die zu einer Änderung am Sockelbereich sowie des Rhythmus' der Stützen und Träger geführt hat. In einer Beratung des Baugremiums der Bausenatorin Regula Lüscher im September 2019 kam allerdings zum Ausdruck, dass die meisten Fachleute die vorgelegten Änderungen eher als Kosmetik ansehen. Wegen der bereits erfolgten Genehmigung seien aber weitere Umplanungen kaum noch möglich. Diskussionen zur Entziehung des Baurechts im Oktober 2019 stellten sich als rechtlich aussichtslos heraus – die in der Berliner Hochhausleitline geforderte "besonders hohe städtebauliche und architektonische Qualität" muss daher nicht angewendet werden.

Die Kosten des Neubaus werden auf rund 400 Millionen Euro geschätzt. Erster Bauherr des Projekts war der Projektentwickler Edge, ein Tochterunternehmen der holländischen OVG Real Estate.

Im Juli 2019 wurde die Baustelle vorbereitet und erste Container aufgestellt. Im Sommer 2019 wurde das Projekt an ein Joint Venture aus Allianz Real Estate und Universal-Investment verkauft. Im Februar 2020 wurde der erste Kran aufgestellt und das Fundament vorbereitet. Im Oktober 2020 wurde die Baugrube ausgehoben. Der Grundstein wurde im Januar 2021 gelegt. Am 12. Oktober 2022 wurde Richtfest gefeiert.

Die Fertigstellung und Eröffnung ist für das Jahr 2023 geplant.

Standort und Beschreibung
Das Hochhaus entsteht auf der Fläche westlich der Warschauer Straße an der Warschauer Brücke direkt neben den Bahngleisen. Mit 36 Stockwerken bildet es einen Blickfang an dieser Stelle und soll mit seiner Höhe von 142 Metern zu den höchsten Hochhäusern in Berlin zählen und sowohl das Zoofenster als auch das Upper West überragen.

Die Bürofläche soll rund 65.000 Quadratmeter betragen. Auf einer rechteckigen Grundfläche werden neun rundum gerasterte Etagen errichtet. Darüber beginnt eine treppenartig ausgeführte Vorhangfassade, die sich auf die übrigen Stockwerke gleichmäßig verteilt (Stand 2018). Neben den Büroflächen sollen die ersten beiden Etagen öffentlich zugänglich sein und über Restaurants, Cafés und Veranstaltungsräume verfügen. Der Bauherr plant zudem eine Bar auf dem Dach des Turms. Die zuständige ZWP Ingenieur AG projektiert mit 142 m über 33 Etagen, von denen 28 an Amazon vermietet werden (Stand 2022), die insgesamt eine Bruttogeschossfläche von 80.500 m² aufweisen.

Im Gebäude soll der erste nutzbare Thyssenkrupp MULTI installiert werden, ein seilloses Aufzugssystem, das ähnlich wie der Transrapid per Linearmotoren angetrieben wird.

Bozize to run for re-election
Bangui - President Francois Bozize will run for re-election in the Central African Republic in January but opposition figures were missing from the official candidates list released on Tuesday.
"We have registered six candidates for the elections," commission spokesperson Rigobert Vondo said on national radio.
Vondo said no opposition or former rebel groups had registered candidates to run for election before a deadline on Monday night.
Top opposition leader and former prime minister Martin Ziguele, who heads the Liberation Movement of Centrafrican People (MLPC), and Emile Gros Raymond Nakombo, another opposition leader, were among those absent from the list of six official candidates published by the Independent Electoral Commission.
Opposition and former rebel leaders threatened to boycott the polls last month after the commission brought forward the deadline and reduced the time allowed for candidates to register for the vote.
The first round of the presidential election originally set for April 2010 has been fixed for January 23 after two postponements, with a second round for March 20, if no clear winner emerges from the initial vote.
Bozize, who took power in a 2003 coup and was elected in 2005 for a five-year term, tops the candidates list.
Ex-president Ange-Felix Patasse, overthrown by Bozize, is a rival along with former defence minister Jean Demafouth.
Three other candidates are on the list: Justin Innocent Wilite of the newly-founded Congress for Centralk African Renaissance; Cleophas Azouroute, of the Kwa na kwa party of Bozize; and independent economist Kouet Fode.

Wisdom Along The Way - E-Book
This book is imbued with Wisdom and carries powerful vibrations in the words. The book is comprised of notes & quotes we have gathered along the way in the search for peace within ourselves. And we do know that if we can release judgment in our own families, our own communities, within ourselves, we will know peace. Judgment immediately separates and makes another wrong and the truth in that is no one on this earth has that authority to judge another and know this when a judgment is set forth is reflected only in person judging. The You = Me® Is the celebration of the authentic self however you choose to define it.

Their names were Helen Schucman and William Thetford, Professors of Medical Psychology at Columbia University's College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York City. They were anything but spiritual. Their relationship with each other was difficult and often strained, and they were concerned with personal and professional acceptance and status. In general, they had considerable investment in the values of the world. Their lives were hardly in accord with anything that the Course advocates. Helen, the one who received the material, describes herself: Psychologist, educator, conservative in theory and atheistic in belief, I was working in a prestigious and highly academic setting. And then something happened that triggered a chain of events I could never have predicted. The head of my department unexpectedly announced that he was tired of the angry and aggressive feelings our attitudes reflected, and concluded that, "there must be another way." As if on cue I agreed to help him find it. Apparently, this Course is the other way. Although their intention was serious, they had great difficulty in starting out on their joint venture. But they had given the Holy Spirit the "little willingness" that, as the Course itself was to emphasize again and again, is sufficient to enable Him to use any situation for His purposes and provide it with His power. Anais Nin was a French-Cuban American diarist, essayist, novelist, and writer of short stories and erotica. Brene Brown is an American professor, lecturer, author, and podcast host.

Don't Say Gay
Without love for humanity, leadership is a dangerous exercise. Florida's governor signed a bill banning conversations and instruction on lives of our gay communities. The Florida Senate passed a bill Tuesday that would prohibit "classroom discussion about sexual orientation or gender identity" in the state's primary schools. This episode is centered in the article written by Leonard Pitt's Jr. - Conservatives are about to lose the 21st century. "You'd think transgender people just dropped onto the planet from space. They didn't. No, the only thing that is new here is transgender people's refusal to hide, their determination to live full, free and visible lives in the American mainstream."

Predictions and Intuitions for 2022 with Nadia Angelini
Nadia say's in her blog; "2020 was a breaking down, and a reevaluating, that forced most inward. It was the beginning of the TRUTH coming out, a momentum that will continue, as no lies or deception can stay hidden as the light on the planet grows. Survival fear, division and hate rose to the surface to be seen for most of the planet. As Jung said, you must bring the shadow to the light in order to heal it. 2020 was the collective shadow coming to the light. Themes of freedom, health, control, survival and fear were dominant. "2021 was about building a new foundation of how we live, relate to others and treat ourselves and our beautiful bodies. This past year was about releasing what no longer served us and learning who we really are and what we really want. More truths coming to the surface, more fear, but beginning a new relationship to it. Still divisiveness, and desire to control others, on all sides but learning that we only have power over ourselves and our own choices. Many will still be dealing with this dynamic in 2022."You do not want to miss this podcast!

Your Life Divine - Interview with Kristina Proctor
Host Cindy Jarvis, interviews Spiritual Director and founder of Your Life Divine kristina Proctor. Kristina invites us to explore a deeper relationship with the spiritual aspect of being human. Simply put, spiritual direction is helping people tell their sacred stories every day. Spiritual direction has emerged in many contexts using language specific to particular cultural and spiritual traditions. Describing spiritual direction requires putting words to a process of fostering a transcendent experience that lies beyond all names and yet the experience longs to be articulated and made concrete in everyday living. It is easier to describe what spiritual direction does than what spiritual direction is. Spiritual direction helps us learn how to live in peace, with compassion, promoting justice, as humble servants of that which lies beyond all names.

Can this really be true? Our tenth annual historical knitting issue is here already? Seriously, it seems like just a few years ago when our first one appeared. Knitting has played a key role in the magazine's content since the premier issue (March/April 1993). It continues to do so. When we started to put this issue together, I thumbed through the previous nine issues, and I wanted to share my trip down memory lane! All of the previous covers are featured here—what a glorious array of knitting. Each of these issues illustrates how very lucky I am to have the opportunity to work with the stellar contributors who fill the pages of every issue of PieceWork.

the so-called st. adalbert's glove from prague an early example of a knitted liturgical glove
Among the relics in the treasury of St. Vitus Cathedral in Prague, Czech Republic, is a single knitted glove, linked by tradition to St. Adalbert, the second Bishop of Prague (956?–997). Even if it is, in fact, a few hundred years too young to have belonged to St. Adalbert, it is still a rare example of medieval knitting. History According to the inventories of St. Vitus Cathedral from 1355 and 1387, a pair of gloves of similar description existed in the fourteenth century, kept not as a relic but as the liturgical gloves of the archbishops of Prague. The legend of a single glove's connection to St. Adalbert was established later. St. Adalbert, named Vojtech at birth, was born into the Slavník family, a noble house so important it could compete with the…
the carnation a favorite motif
In the 1500s and 1600s, flowers were seen as profoundly symbolic. Each flower had its meaning: If a man sent his love a bouquet, she could "read" its message by looking at the flowers it contained. The carnation was one flower with great symbolic meaning. Its original color was pink or flesh-red, which led to the carnation becoming a symbol of Christ's body. If we research the various names for the carnation in European languages, we find the word carna ("meat" or "nail"). The Danish word for carnation is nellike and in German, it is neilichen, both of which derive from the word nå (nail). In several Madonna paintings from the thirteenth century to the fifteenth century, the flesh-colored carnation flower, placed near the child Jesus symbolizes Christ's suffering. When…


Another great post from our guest blogger – Earlham Bonner Student Shannon Hilbert!
As the resident blogger here at Cope Environmental Center, I hold the responsibility of attending the occasional event at the Center and detailing my experience. My supervisor suggested that I go to the syrup-making event, in which families bring their kids to learn about the history and science behind the making of maple syrup. I agreed to shadow this program, not because of any innate desire to learn the ins-and-outs of syrup making (although it is very interesting), but in order close a chapter in my life regarding my (not at all) tragic experience with maple syrup.
As a child, I spilled everything I got my hands on.
That's right. As long as it was a liquid, it was going to find a way out of its container and onto my clothes. Because of this unfortunate tendency, and my new-found affinity for breakfast food, I spent many mornings ruining my clothes with an overflow of generic Mrs. Butterworth. Eventually, this routine became tiresome, and I decided to do something about it. My little kid logic immediately cast aside the idea of trying to eat without making a mess. Instead, I decided to inexplicably declare my hatred for syrup and shun Snoopy and all he had to offer.
After the information session, our group took a walk through the Center in order to look at the maple trees that produced the sap used to make syrup. Along the way we were met by two Cope workers dressed up like a Native American and an early settler. They both described their experiences with syrup to the group, and I had to admit that their stories were probably more interesting than my own syrup adventure. During the walk, the kids were asked a lot of questions, and I could see their enthusiasm for showing off what they learned during the information session at the beginning of the program. The program concluded with a demonstration of how Cope creates syrup today, and then the entire group was invited for a big pancake breakfast.
It was clear to me that the kids really enjoyed the program, and at Cope there are many programs such as this that offer parents the opportunity to have their kids be active in a productive way. The maple syrup program was a great combination of informative and interactive with the added bonus of a nice walk throughout the Center, and I would recommend it to anyone interested.
…a syrup trail making its way down my shirt. Oh well, old habits.

If snoring has become a problem in your life, use the tips provided here to help eliminate the problem. Change the Way You Sleep If your snoring has gotten out of control and it's starting to affect the way you sleep, start with a change in the way you sleep.
If you have had a health issue or accident, you may have a physician refer you to physical therapy. The therapy can be done in a therapy office, but may also be available for in home appointments depending on the therapist and your treatment needs. If you have never had this type of therapy, there are several things you need to know about the misconceptions and truths before your first appointment.
When you have kids, you know that you never know what's going to happen in a 24-hour period. One moment, the kids could be sitting around playing a nice little board game together, you turn your back, and before you know it, the middle child has managed to get the dice lodged in his nose. Now what? Living with kids means planning for emergencies. Here, you'll find a few things to keep around the house to help you treat injuries and illnesses while you work to get the injured or ill party to an emergency health care facility.
When you've gone through life and rarely had any health issues, it can come as a shock when one of your body parts starts to give you problems. Certain health malfunctions can seem to come clear out of the blue, and because you've never really had to give a lot of thought to your physical condition, it's easy to ignore glaring symptoms that need to be addressed. Your eyes are especially important because they play such a critical role in helping you navigate the world.
Welcome to my website. My name is Sonya Grayson, and I have employed the services of home health care workers a few times. My current and ongoing experience with home health care is for my parents. My eighty-seven-year-old father has cancer and while not in need of hospice, does require daily care. My mother has slight dementia and isn't able to help dad with many of his needs. Mom still cooks meals, but she isn't able to help with bathing, dressing, administering medications, and other needs my homebound father has. A registered nurse visits their home once a week, and a certified nursing assistant (CNA) comes every day to help with daily routines. I also had experience with home health care after my knee surgery last year. I am writing this blog so I can share my experiences with you.

1. The author of the communication is Dwayne Hylton, a Jamaican citizen awaiting execution at St. Catherine District Prison, Jamaica. He claims to be a victim of violations of his human rights by Jamaica. He is represented by counsel.
2.1 On 26 August 1986, the author was taken into custody at the Mandeville police station, Parish of Manchester. On 10 September 1986, he was charged, together with four other men, for the murder, on 7 July 1986, of one C.P. He was tried together with one I.C. and one D.W. in the Manchester Circuit Court in Mandeville. On 26 May 1988, the three men were found guilty as charged, convicted and sentenced to death. The Court of Appeal of Jamaica dismissed the author's appeal on 15 March 1990. When the Committee considered the question of the admissibility of the communication, the author was in the process of petitioning the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council for special leave to appeal; his petition to that body was dismissed on 29 October 1992.
2.2 The author submits that he was unrepresented from the time of his arrest to the time of the preliminary hearing, which took place in October 1986. He indicates that, when the hearing started, the examining magistrate asked him if he was represented. After replying in the negative, a lady sitting at the lawyers table told the judge that she had been assigned to represent the author. The author complains that, even during the preliminary enquiry, she did not make any effort to communicate with him.
2.3 As to his representation prior to and during the trial, the author contends that it was not until two days before the trial started that he was assigned a lawyer. Counsel allegedly ignored his request to discuss the case prior to the trial; during the trial, the author spoke with him only once, for about 20 minutes. On one occasion, he told counsel that one of the jurors had been seen talking to the investigating officer. Counsel did not react; nor did he call the author's mother to testify, in spite of the author's request to do so.
2.4 On 10 October 1987, an application for a change of venue was filed by the lawyer of I.C., as it was feared that the accused would not obtain a fair trial in Mandeville, the home town of the deceased. The judge, however, refused to change the venue. The author submits that the judge's refusal to grant a change of venue amounted to a miscarriage of justice. According to the author, it was clear that he would not receive a fair trial in Mandeville, because of "widespread publicity and the actual prejudice and hostility generated by persons attending the court and awaiting outside". Moreover, the author claims that the mayor of Mandeville, the uncle of the deceased, used his political influence to have them sentenced. At the end of the trial, one juror allegedly told the author and his co-defendants that most of the jurors had been intimidated by the mayor.
2.5 As to the appeal, the author states that, in early March 1990, only two weeks before the hearing, he was notified of the dates of the appeal, and that one Mr. J.H. had been assigned to represent him. He immediately wrote to J.H., explaining that he had never had the opportunity to discuss his case with previous counsel, and that he would like to meet himprior to the hearing; if not, he would assume that counsel could not, or would not, represent him on appeal. The author did not receive a reply to his enquiries and learned that his appeal was dismissed on 15 March 1990. He doubts whether J.H. represented him at all.
2.6 The author further states that, on 9 September 1989, warders of St. Catherine District Prison beat one P.L. to death in his cell. Those responsible for his death were not prosecuted. Since the incident, the two codefendants of P.L. allegedly received death threats from warders FN1. On 28 May 1990, after being subjected for two weeks to a special regime of detention (only one or two meals per day, some days without water or the possibility to empty slop pails, as well as detention incommunicado), the ordinary prisoners of the "New Hall" block of the prison forced open their cells and began to protest for food, water and better treatment. The inmates of death row joined the protest at around 10:30 to 11:00 a.m. The warders were then sent away from the death row section and the army was called in. At the soldiers' request, the death row inmates returned to their cells. The warders then returned and began to search all the cells. The author alleges that, during this search, many inmates of the "Gibralta" death row section, including himself, were severely beaten by the warders.
[FN1] [ One of P.L.'s co-defendants, N.P., submitted a communication to the Human Rights Committee; communication No. 404/1990, declared inadmissible on 5 April 1993, during the Committee's 47th session.]
2.7 As a result, three inmates died, among others the author's codefendant, D.W.; other inmates were seriously injured (injuries reportedly included fractured jaws and skulls). Since the death of D.W., the author and his other codefendant, I.C., have allegedly repeatedly been threatened with death by warders. The author adds that the warders allegedly told death row inmates that "since the State party was not prepared to hang them" they would devise "other ways of decreasing the death row population".
2.8 On 30 May 1990, the author complained to the Parliamentary Ombudsman about repeated violence in the prison, and requested an investigation into the killing of the four inmates, as well as into the continued threats and illtreatment by the prison warders. By letter of 27 June 1990, the Ombudsman acknowledged the receipt of the complaint, promising that it would receive prompt attention. The author has not received any subsequent reply on the substance of his complaint.
3. Although the author does not invoke any of the provisions of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, it appears from his submissions that he claims to be a victim of violations by Jamaica of articles 7, 10 and 14 of the Covenant.
THE STATE PARTY'S ADMISSIBILITY OBSERVATIONS AND AUTHOR'S COMMENTS:
4.1 The State party argued that the communication was inadmissible because of nonexhaustion of domestic remedies. It noted that, with respect to his criminal case, the author could still petition the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council for special leave to appeal, and that legal aid would be available for this purpose under Section 3 of the Poor Prisoners' Defence Act.
4.2 As to the author's allegations that he was subjected to illtreatment, that he received threats to his life and that he was denied a fair hearing, the State party argued that the provisions of the Covenant protecting these rights are coterminous with the rights protected by Sections 17 and 20 of the Jamaican Constitution. Under Section 25 of the Constitution, any person who alleges that his fundamental rights have been, are being, or are likely to be infringed may apply to the Supreme Court for constitutional redress. A right of appeal lies from the Supreme Court to the Court of Appeal and thereafter to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council. Since the author failed to take action to pursue his constitutional motion in the Supreme Court, the communication should be declared inadmissible.
5.1 In his comments, the author reiterated that he was still receiving threats from warders. In this context, he stated that he had written twice to the Jamaica Council for Human Rights, but that he had not received a reply.
5.2 In a further letter, the author submitted that since those responsible for the death of the three inmates were about to be tried, he had been subjected to "a massive amount of threats" by other warders, and that he feared for his life.
6.1 During its 46th session, the Committee considered the admissibility of the communication. With regard to the author's allegations under article 14 of the Covenant, the Committee noted that the author was in the process of petitioning the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council. Accordingly, the Committee found that domestic remedies had not been exhausted in this respect.
6.2 As to the author's claims under article 7 and 10 of the Covenant, the Committee noted the State party's contention that the communication was inadmissible because of the author's failure to pursue constitutional remedies available to him. In this connection, the Committee considered that, in the absence of legal aid, a constitutional motion did not constitute an available remedy within the meaning of article 5, paragraph 2(b), of the Optional Protocol, which the author should still exhaust. The Committee further was satisfied that the author had exercised reasonable diligence in seeking redress for the alleged illtreatment and threats to which he was, and allegedly remained, subjected. It also noted that the State party had failed to inform the Committee whether it did investigate the events complained of by the author. Accordingly, the Committee found that, in this respect, the requirements of article 5, paragraph 2(b), of the Optional Protocol had been met.6.3 On 16 October 1992, the Committee declared the communication admissible in so far it might raise issues under articles 7 and 10 of the Covenant.
THE STATE PARTY'S OBJECTIONS TO THE ADMISSIBILITY DECISION AND THE AUTHOR'S FURTHER COMMENTS:
7.1 In a submission dated 15 April 1993, the State party contends that the communication remains inadmissible because the author has failed to seek constitutional redress of the alleged breaches of his rights.
7.2 Concerning the Committee's request to the State party (as set out in the decision on admissibility) to provide information about the result of such investigations as may have taken place into the author's allegations under articles 7 and 10 of the Covenant, the State party affirms that its Ministry of National Security and Justice had started an investigation into the prison disturbances which occurred on 9 September 1989 at St. Catherine District Prison; it further states that the author was interviewed by investigating officers, and that he gave a written statement on 12 February 1992. The State party concludes that it will inform the Committee as soon as a final report is available on the matter. As of May 1994, no further information on the matter had been received.
8.1 The author states, by submission of 10 February 1993, that on 27 January 1993 the offence for which he has been convicted was classified as a capital offence under the Offences against the Person (Amendment) Act 1992. He submits that: "From the moment that I received the notification, [...] the warders [...] are taunting me with death threats and some of them keep on telling me that they are the ones who will be taking me to the gallows and what size rope will fit my neck and how much weight it will take to take my head off my body [...]". He states that as a result of this psychological torture, he has sustained ulcers.
8.2 The author reiterates that he has exhausted all available domestic remedies; he argues that while he retains a theoretical right to file a constitutional motion, in practice this right remains illusory, given the absence of legal aid for the purpose.
8.3 With regard to the State party's information about the investigation, it is submitted that an investigation into riots, in which several inmates lost their lives and in which many others were seriously wounded, cannot amount to redress for the ill-treatment suffered, if it is initiated over two years after the material events, and if no final report has been prepared almost five years later. Moreover, the State party has failed to investigate the numerous other occasions on which the author was subjected to ill-treatment and death threats from prison warders.
EXAMINATION OF THE MERITS:
9.1 The Committee has taken note of the State party's argument on admissibility, in respect of the availability of constitutional remedies which the author may still pursue. It reiterates that domestic remedies within the meaning of the Optional Protocol must be bothavailable and effective, and that, in the absence of effective legal aid made available by the State party for the purpose, a constitutional motion is not a remedy available to Mr. Hylton. There is, therefore, no reason to revise the Committee's decision on admissibility of 16 October 1992.
9.2 With regard to the author's claims under articles 7 and 10 of the Covenant, the Committee notes that the State party has confined itself to indicating that the riots which occurred at St. Catherine Distict Prison on 9 September 1989 are being investigated, that the author was interviewed by investigating officers and that he gave a statement on 12 February 1992. It has not addressed the author's claims in respect of the events at St. Catherine District Prison that occurred on 28 May 1990, nor has it addressed the author's claims concerning death threats received from prison warders. Article 4, paragraph 2, of the Optional Protocol, however, enjoins the State party to investigate thoroughly, in good faith and within the imparted deadlines, all the allegations of violations of the Covenant made against it, and to make available to the Committee all the information at its disposal.
9.3 The author alleges that he was severely beaten by prison warders during a search of the cells of the death row section at St. Catherine District Prison on 28 May 1990. He claims that since the death of one of his co-defendants, who died as a result of the violence, he has repeatedly been threatened with death by warders, and that the amount of threats increased after those responsible for the death of three inmates were indicted. He further claims that he continues to suffer from psychological torture by the warders, in particular after his case was classified as a capital case in January 1993. These claims have not been refuted by the State party. Furthermore, since the State party has confined itself to the general observation that an investigation was initiated by the Ministry of National Security and Justice into the prison disturbances which occurred at St. Catherine District Prison on 9 September 1989, the Committee remains uninformed whether the threats and ill-treatment to which the author himself allegedly was, and remains, subjected, are also under investigation. In the absence of further information on such investigations, and taking into account that such investigations as have been undertaken do not appear to have been concluded four and a half years after the events, due weight must be given to the author's allegations to the extent that they have been substantiated. Taking into account the detailed description of the events by the author and in view of the lack of information from the State party, the Committee considers that the threats and the ill-treatment to which Mr. Dwayne Hylton has been subjected by the prison warders amount to cruel and inhuman treatment within the meaning of article 7, and also entail a violation of article 10, paragraph 1, of the Covenant.
10. The Human Rights Committee, acting under article 5, paragraph 4, of the Optional Protocol to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, is of the view that the facts before it disclose a violation of articles 7 and 10, paragraph 1, of the Covenant.
11.1 In accordance with the provisions of article 2 of the Covenant, the State party is under an obligation to take effective measures to remedy the violations suffered by Mr. Hylton, including the award of appropriate compensation, and to ensure that similar violations do not occur in the future. In particular, the State party is requested to complete the investigations into the threats and the ill-treatment to which Mr. Hylton has been subjected, and to punish those held to be responsible for his treatment.
11.2 The Committee would wish to receive information, within 90 days, on any relevant measures adopted by the State party in respect of the Committee's Views.

Dylan Thomas in America
Saxon Henry July 14, 2020	authenticityfamous writersNew York Citypoetrypopular moviessummer reading list
This essay exploring the downward spiral of Dylan Thomas during tours of America is included in my most recent book The Modern Salonnière. The 34 other essays in the book feature similar literary adventures and essays about traveling with intention.
Going Not So Gently into That Good Night

Within half an hour of his first sighting of Dylan Thomas, John Malcolm Brinnin was dragging the poet's luggage through a "razor-cold morning" to load it into his Studebaker. "What posh cars American poets have," Thomas said as they slid into the car for the ride into New York City. As they sped through the wastes of Queens, Brinnin was hyper-aware of the ramshackle streets, the junk yards and cluttered fields full of weeds and debris—ugliness that was covered in a thick layer of frost. Thomas stared silently at the landscape before saying, "I knew America would be just like this." When Manhattan's skyscrapers came into view, "as formal and white in the sun as an island of the dead," Thomas simply stared and said nothing.
We can thank Brinnin for this solid picture of Thomas' first reactions to America just after the Welshman had landed at Idlewild Airport on February 21, 1950: "bundled like an immigrant in a shapeless rough woolen parka, his hair as tangled as a nest from which the bird has flown, his eyes wide, scared, as if they sought the whole dreadful truth of America at once." This description opens Brinnin's book Dylan Thomas in America, an incandescent look at the poet's talent and a difficult survey of his alcohol-fueled slide toward death.

After Thomas is checked in at the hotel, they take a stroll to the RCA building, now 30 Rockefeller Plaza, to ascend to its observation deck. Brinnin watched as Thomas gleaned his first notion of New York as a city: "Through the hyaline sunlight, Manhattan Island glittered, austere and inhuman, a jewel in the hand. Dylan stared into the strangely faraway silence of the streets directly below and out into the Bay where through shining mist he could see the spiked head and lifted torch of Liberty." By his descriptions and his observations, Brinnin creates an almost hypnotic ebbing and flowing of quietude and clamor as he moves deeper into the story of his relationship with the poet, the book all the more satisfying to read because it is nonfiction written by a poet.
The Undoing of Dylan Thomas
Though Brinnin's narrative powers are keen, the lyrical quality of his language begins to break down near the end of the book when the story spirals into details of the last days of Thomas' life and his subsequent death. It's obvious from the book that Brinnin came to care for the poet in spite of the chaos and insanity he brought to his life. He didn't mince words when he called Thomas "a living delight and a living torment." The slide toward a troubled end seems to begin as early as the first day when Brinnin introduced Thomas to Third Avenue with its string of dimly lit pubs in which he felt quite at home. This effort to situate him in a place that would put the poet at ease backfired on Brinnin before long.
Several weeks later, Thomas told Harvey Breit, who was interviewing him for the Sunday book section of The New York Times, "I love Third Avenue. I don't believe New York. It's obvious to anyone why. All the same, I believe New Yorkers. Whether they've ever questioned the dream in which they live, I wouldn't know, because I won't ever dare ask that question." There's a haunting quality to this story as Thomas' coughing fits, followed by retching and vomiting, are commonplace, even as he is undertaking one pub crawl after another. The purpose of his trips to America centered around performing, and I was truly in awe of the fact that he could stand up straight given how much alcohol he had generally consumed by the time he stepped in front of a microphone.
I would have doubted the quality of those performances if Brinnin hadn't made it a point to praise the brilliance of most of Thomas's readings, calling the lion's share of them "genius" (as you can hear from the one above). An occasion that illustrates how deep a dichotomy Thomas presented begins with Brinnin witnessing as the poet "retched into a basin as if he would never stop," an incident immediately followed by him walking onto the stage at the appointed time "shoulders straight, chest out in his staunch and pouter-pigeon advance, as he proceeded to give the first of those performances which were to bring to America a whole new conception of poetry reading." Brinnin credits Thomas' enormous range and the organ-deep resonance of his voice as two reasons he was so exceptional on stage.
As he watched the performances and gauged the reactions of the audiences, Brinnin made a list of things that mesmerized Thomas' listeners: "Some were moved by the almost sacred sense of his approach to language; some by the bravado of a modern poet whose themes dealt directly and unapologetically with birth and death and the presence of God; some were entertained merely by the plangent virtuosity of an actor with a great voice." Without fail, Brinnin says, "Ovations greeting him as he came on and as he went off were tremendous, but the sweat on his brow flowed no less copiously either time."
The Welsh poet's intensity is evident in this photo of Dylan Thomas. Image public domain.
The disparity of his actions would have been impossible to understand had it not been for Brinnin's insight into Thomas' spirit. As early as witnessing his first reading, Brinnin gained a "striking knowledge of the fact that Dylan was alone, that he had been born into a loneliness beyond the comprehension of those of us who feel we live in loneliness, and that those recognitions of success or failure by which we can survive meant nothing to him." As dark as his story is to digest, I am glad I stuck with it because I learned a great deal about the man who, in spite of existing outside of academia, found great success as a poet—as difficult an achievement at the time as it is now given the level at which he succeeded.
"To Dylan poetry was something that happened, that had been happening for a long time, and would go on happening," Brinnin wrote; "it was not something to meet upon, to debate, or to fix into hierarchical tables." Juxtapose the statement "he practiced and promoted joy like a virtue" against his intoxicated behavior, which included four-letter ejaculations of his drunken talk, lascivious retorts to civil questions, and lewd attentions to details of the female anatomy, and you see how complex a character he was. As Thomas lay in a coma, Brinnin senses the end: "At his own pace, in his own time, Dylan was approaching his own good night. When I spoke to him, I knew I spoke only to myself."
Celyn Jones plays Dylan Thomas and Elijah Wood plays Brinnin in "Set Fire to the Stars," a film about the poet's strips to America.
It was clear to me from the story Brinnin told that Thomas' wife Caitlin contributed greatly to the poet's emotional pain. Reading about how insulting and cruel she was helped me better understand a number of Thomas' poems, particularly my favorite:
On a Wedding Anniversary
The sky is torn across
This ragged anniversary of two
Who moved for three years in tune
Down the long walks of their vows.
Now their love lies a loss
And Love and his patients roar on a chain;
From every tune or crater
Carrying cloud, Death strikes their house.
Too late in the wrong rain
They come together whom their love parted:
The windows pour into their heart
And the doors burn in their brain.
This poem is a written example of Brinnin's claim that Thomas' social character created a "spell-like illusion of intimacy" that "he would cast upon anyone who came near." That's impossible to communicate in a book, of course, and I was left thinking only that he was a nightmare to manage. Brinnin admits it's true but that didn't stop him from hosting Thomas in the U.S. four times and visiting him during most of his trips to Europe, making this a story about true friendship and devotion. From a literary perspective, it feels like such a shame that Thomas had to die so young, but from a human perspective, it was a relief to know the skirmish was over because there was something so enormously traumatic about his struggle.
The film Set Fire to the Stars tells the story of the beginning of the extraordinary adventure Thomas would take with Brinnin. Elijah Wood played Brinnin brilliantly as the movie follows the storyline in the book. Ironically, one sentiment spoken so vehemently near the end of the film summed up Thomas' loathing of everything Brinnin had spent his life building: "Don't open a book; open a window."

I hope you're ready to have your mind blown, cause it's the craziest idea I've had recently, and it explains everything.
While leveling my new toons, I can't help but asking myself: how does it really work with the lore?
See for yourself: for example, a Nightborne character could have entered Azeroth only after Elisande's fall – a rehabilitated Elisande follower or a cured Nightfallen. He or she could only participate in Tomb of Sargeras onslaught and Argus campaign. Your Lightforged Draenei's experience is even smaller: basically it's Argus/Antorus where your toon could have participated, and that's it.
Your Zandalar could have participated in Mists of Pandaria events (on the wrong side), and your Mag'har orc was probably fighting in Draenor – again, if not a Frostwolf, on the wrong side.
How could they repel gnoll attacks in Elwynn woods? How could they be struggling in Stonetalon mountains towards the destruction of the night elf druid enclave? How could they help the Undead working on the blight strain for the Wrathgate disaster? And how could they heal the fires of Hyjal during Cataclysm events? Chasing Anduin during Pandaria events? Placing a final blow upon Archimonde?
The answer is so simple that it's overwhelming: they did not.
There are two simple things you should understand.
First, your toon could be mentioned as "hero" in the chapter of Warcraft Chronicles if he/she really did took part in the corresponding expansion. Doing dailies, struggling with talent trees and rotations, making its way to the final villain in raids.
Take my mage Micromantica, my first toon on the current account. She started in Cataclysm, and while she surely worked her way healing Hyjal via multiple dailies in the endgame content, she didn't have a chance to raid. So she wasn't the one to be present at Al'Akir, Cho'gall or Deathwing defeat (even if she visited the raids later). But! She surely was there in Siege of Orgrimmar, and she witnessed the fall of Garrosh with her own eyes. She was called commander and admiral in Draenor, and she witnessed how Sargeras plunged his sword deep in our planet.
In other words – your character is a hero of a legend that was current for him/her. If you start an alt today, it cannot be a veteran of Wrathgate or Draenor campaign.
Second – how does it work with the lore? As your Highmountain or Dark Iron, or a common Gnome, Worgen or Troll has to play through the old content.
The answer is also simple: this is a retrospective – an illusion, a history book that went live. You do not actually participate in the said events – you're given a chance to relive the adventures of Azeroth heroes of the past. You get acquainted with the epic battles, making yourself proud of your faction, knowing what this all is about, and how did we get to where we are now.
And that explains how a demon hunter is able to defeat Illidan, or a Pandaren striking down the Lich King, or a Nightborne cracking open the Deathwing's spine. It is not your journey. It's a thing of the past.
The concept may resemble Caverns of Time, but with a significant difference. In Caverns of Time you're actually participating in the events, trying to keep the timelines intact. Remember how you're transformed into a dwarf, a human or a gnome if you're Horde and you're culling Stratholme?
During your leveling, you still can be a Pandaren killing the Lich King. The events… are not real for you. You just relive the memories and the stories of the past.
Understanding this, I'm finally at peace with having my Void Elf in vrykul fortresses, and my Lightforged in Zangarmarsh :) I'm finally at peace with leveling through broken timelines (like you level in Cataclysm events 1-60, then you go back to Outland, etc.). I'm at peace with getting an errand from Varian or Vol'jin. You're not committing hero acts. You're actually sitting in the library – and use your imagination, potions, or both to see the events of the past.
All your leveling until current content is nothing but a quality hallucination.
That's a perfect way to think about it!

Q: Using attributes to constrain types - .NET Before you leave: though my code is in F#, this question is applicable to any .NET langague.
So here's my situation -- I have a simple ProgramOptions record in F# for holding command line option data. Each field represents a distinct option, and they can have default values, which are marked with a custom attribute.
type ProgramOptionAttribute(defaultValue: obj) =
    inherit Attribute()

type ProgramOptions =
    { [<ProgramOption("render.pdf")>] output: string
      [<ProgramOption(true)>] printOutput: bool
      // several more
      }

I've written a nice little function elsewhere to dynamically instantiate this record using the attribute data, given the raw command line options. That works great. But it's really easy to introduce a runtime type mismatch by providing an object to the attribute that is a different type from the field (since there's just a simple cast from obj -> field type later down the line). For example:
// Obviously wrong, but compiles without complaint, failing at runtime
[<ProgramOption(42)>] myField: bool

Is there a way to make that type safe? Some kind of generic trickery? Or is what I want impossible?

A: As far as I know, that's not possible, but even if it was, what would it gain you? You can only use literals in attributes, so you'd be constrained to string, int, bool, and a few other types.
What if, at some day, you'd want to define a record with a DateTimeOffset value in it (not an unreasonable case)?
type myRecord = {
    [<ProgramOption(???)>]Date : DateTimeOffset
    [<ProgramOption("foo")>]Text : string }

Which ProgramOption would you put on the Date element?
That said, you don't necessarily have to come up with you own attribute. The BCL already defines a [<DefaultValue>] attribute, as well as lots of so-called data annotations attributes. None of them are, in my opinion, useful for anything. As an example, here's an in-depth explanation of why the Required attribute is redundant. That article is about Object-Oriented Design, but applies to Functional Programming as well.
In a statically typed Functional language like F#, you should make illegal states unrepresentable.
Ultimately, I think that a simpler approach would be to define a default value for each type, like this:
type ProgramOptions = {
    Output: string
    PrintOutput: bool
    // several more
    }

let defaultProgramOptions = { Output = "render.pdf"; PrintOutput = true }

This would let you easily create values based on the default value:
let myProgOps = { defaultProgramOptions with PrintOutput = false }

This is type-safe at compile-time, and produces a ProgramOptions value with these constituent elements:
{ Output = "render.pdf"; PrintOutput = false; }

A: I am not sure this is possible at compile time, but during runtime I convert numeric values between types, when it is possible, or convert all values to string. A snippet from a larger program:
// set default values and parameters from attributes
    // this will override explicit calls to DefineParameters
    let props =
      ty
          .GetProperties(BindingFlags.Public ||| BindingFlags.NonPublic ||| BindingFlags.Instance)
          .Where(fun p ->
                  p.GetCustomAttributes<ParameterAttribute>(false) //.Count() > 0)
