Восстание Барабаша и Пушкаря — восстание Левобережной Украины эпохи гражданской войны 1657—1687 годов (Руины) против пропольского гетмана Войска Запорожского Ивана Выговского.

Предыстория

27 августа 1657 года гетманом Войска Запорожского был выбран Иван Выговский. Это событие сразу раскололо казачество.

Проезжавший по Украине в 1657 году греческий митрополит Колоссийский Михаил рассказывал, что «гетмана Ивана Выговского заднепровские черкасы любят. А которые по сю сторону Днепра, и те де черкасы и вся чернь ево не любят, а опасаютца того, что он поляк, и чтоб де у него с поляки какова совету не было». Противоречивая личность нового гетмана вызвала сильную оппозицию. Не «природный казак», а купленный у татар за лошадь «лях», женатый на дочери польского магната, вызывал недоверие и откровенную неприязнь среди многих ближайших сподвижников Богдана Хмельницкого.

Особенно сильной была оппозиция со стороны Запорожской Сечи. Уже в октябре 1657 года запорожцы, во главе с кошевым атаманом Яковом Барабашем, открыто выступили против нового гетмана, отказавшись признать его власть. Их не устраивало то, что он был избран без согласия Запорожской Сечи и, как они заявляли, что он «не природной запорожской казак, а взят из Полского войска на бою в языцех». Восставшие обвиняли Выговского в измене за его сношения с Польшей и Крымом.

Восстание

Причины и начало восстания

Встретив противодействие со стороны Сечи, Выговский перешёл к решительным действиям. Он сумел организовать экономическую блокаду Сечи и добиться отставки Барабаша. Как сообщал находившийся при гетмане посланец царя Алексея Михайловича стряпчий Дмитрий Рагозин, запорожцы отправили к гетману послов, «а которыя, де, были воры, заводчики, и они, де, все розбежались». Несмотря на это, гетман выставил запорожцам жесткое требование — выдать ему Барабаша. Это было связно с тем, что к этому времени стало известно про отправку казаками посланцев в Москву с жалобами на гетмана. Посольство казаков во главе с Михаилом Стринджей прибыло в Москву к 3 декабря 1657 года.

Среди требований казаков на первый план выступил вопрос о жаловании. Этот вопрос возник еще при жизни Хмельницкого. Согласно Переяславских статей Войску Запорожскому за службу должно было выплачиваться жалование, которое должно было отчисляться со сборов с неказацкого населения Войска. Один раз из Москвы были направлены 60 000 золотых на выплату жалования, но казакам эти деньги не поступили. После отправка денег не производилась, так как никаких доходов в Москву от Войска не перечислялось. Предполагалось, что гетман сам выплачивает жалование из собираемых доходов. Но жалование казакам не поступало. Как говорили казаки, «а что, де, каких поборов в Войске Запорожском сбираетца, и то все сбирает к себе гетман же, а в Войско ничего не дает». В связи с таким положением, казаки просили назначить расследование и выяснить куда делись деньги, которые собирались с Войска четыре года, но «в казну царского величества не доходили и до рук Войску Запорожскому по привилею царскому на жалование не давано». Царские посланники должны были вернуть пропавшие деньги и выплатить Войску жалование. Для недопущения повторения такой ситуации запорожцы готовы были принять в городах царских воевод, которые должны были осуществлять сборы налогов и выплачивать жалование Войску.

Запорожские послы добивались от царя созыва рады, в которой должна была принять участие вся «чернь» Войска Запорожского, как с «волости», так и из Сечи. На раде гетман и полковники должны были сложить с себя полномочия, и на их место рада должна была избрать новых людей. Выговского казаки требовали посадить в тюрьму или выслать из страны. Для оправдания таких требований казаки выдвинули в адрес гетмана обвинения в измене. В доказательство посланцы Сечи передали в Москве перехваченные письма Выговского к крымскому хану и его визирю Сефер-газы. Как заявили запорожцы, «по тем его тайным посилкам надеятца от него всякие измены».

В это время гетман Выговский приехал в Переяслав, где стоял корпус князя Григория Ромодановского. В беседах с князем Выговский выдвинул встречные обвинения в адрес запорожцев. Он уверял князя, что запорожцы «старшин своих… хотят побить и поддатца крымскому хану». Гетман просил князя не распускать войска, перейти Днепр и, соединившись с Уманским, Белоцерковским и Браславским полками, встать заслоном от поляков, пока гетман не подавит смуту в Войске. Из Переяслава Выговский направил в Москву письма с просьбой не верить запорожцам, а за самовольство арестовать их и наказать.

Сложившаяся ситуация требовала быстрого решения. И такое решение было принято. На Украину отправлялся пользовавшийся большим доверием царя окольничий Богдан Хитрово. Гетманским послам была вручена грамота, в которой сообщалось, что к Войску царь посылает «ближнего» своего человека, который примет присягу избранного Войском Запорожским гетмана. Одновременно, царь не стал выполнять просьбу гетмана арестовать посланцев Сечи. Вместо этого на Сечь была направлена царская грамота в которой сообщалось, что царь созывает раду в Переяславе, чтобы «советом всего Запорожского Войска все дела успокоити, чтоб впредь меж вами был совет и соединение, а розни меж вами никакие не было».

Разрастание восстания

Пока Хитрово добирался до Чигирина, ситуация в Войске резко обострилась. Несмотря на то, что новый кошевой Пашко заявлял, что Сечь подчиняется гетману, волнения не прекратились. В декабре 1657 полтавский полковник Мартын Пушкарь, поддержав восставшую Сечь, начал восстание на территории своего полка. Пушкарь распространил письма, в которых говорил, что царь Алексей Михайлович объявляет ему свою поддержку, «дал пушки и знамёна», и что на поддержку восставшим идет царское войско. Недовольные прокрымской политикой гетмана запорожцы, городовые казаки и «чернь» стекались в Полтаву под начало Пушкаря. Из «черни» образовали полк «дейнеков». Полк этот возглавил Иван Донец, который «собрал себе из винников, броварников, пастухов и наймитов людских полк пехотный, наименовавши его дейнеками; который полк мало в себе имел… оружием до войны приличным, но только с рогатинами, косами и киями…».

Гетман Выговский послал на Полтаву войско во главе с полковником И. Богуном, но в сражении под Полтавой 25 января 1658 года войско Богуна было разбито Пушкарем и отступило. 28 января 1658 года Хитрово прибыл в Переяслав.

Рада в Переяславе
Заявления восставших о царской поддержке вызывали серьёзную обеспокоенность Выговского. 17 января 1658 года Выговский встретился с путивльским воеводой боярином Никитой Зюзиным. На встрече с воеводой, кроме гетмана, присутствовали и такие влиятельные в Войске полковники, как Григорий Лесницкий и Иван Богун. Гетман настойчиво заявлял воеводе, что нет никаких причин для того, чтобы царь гневался на гетмана, который был верен прежде и верен теперь. Гетман обещал, что во время его поездки в Москву он даст тайные советы царю и патриарху, как подчинить Войско Запорожское. Обещал склонить шведского короля к миру, а «на обрадование и на потверженье всему Войску Запорожскому» гетман приглашал Алексея Михайловича и патриарха посетить Киев. Такая позиция гетмана давала миссии Хитрово шансы на успех.

Первой и самой главной задачей для Хитрово было провести процедуру официального утверждения гетмана от имени верховного сюзерена царя Алексея Михайловича. 7 февраля 1658 года в Переяславе состоялась рада. На раду прибыли гетман Выговский, судьи, полковники, большое количество казаков и митрополит киевский Дионисий Балабан. В присутствии полковников Иван Выговский отдал гетманскую булаву посланцу царя. В ответ Хитрово вернул булаву гетману и публично заявил, что царь жалует Ивана Выговского булавой и гетманством. Войску Запорожскому была выдана новая жалованная грамота и Выговский получил подтверждение своего права на власть. Гетман заявил, что Войско Запорожское готово участвовать в войне с Речью Посполитой и он уже приказал рассылать «универсалы», чтобы казаки готовились к войне. Объявлялось, что Войско Запорожское готово принять участие в войне со Швецией и с каждым неприятелем царя. На переговорах было дано принципиальное согласие на присылку в города «Малой Росии» воевод. Конкретные решения должны были состояться во время посещения гетманом Москвы.

После этого перед Хитрово встала другая задача. Несмотря на приглашение, Пушкарь на раду в Переяславе не явился. Хитрово обещал на раде, что сам склонит Пушкаря к миру, даже если для этого придется применить силу. Положение Хитрово осложнилось, когда Пушкарь заявил, что отказывается признавать решения рады и созывает новую раду в Лубнах. 25 февраля Хитрово прибыл в Лубны, где прилуцкий полковник Петр Дорошенко принес новую присягу царю. Царского окольничего сопровождали Ирклиевский и Прилуцкий полки. Таким образом, созыв рады в Лубнах был сорван. В результате Хитрово удалось погасить конфликт мирным путём. 5 марта Пушкарь прибыл в Лубны, принес публичную присягу царю и «своевольное войско распустил». Цели миссии Хитрово были достигнуты, князь Ромодановский, стоявший в Переяславе, получил приказ распустить войска.

Продолжение восстания
Вскоре выяснилась непрочность достигнутых соглашений. Пушкарь, хоть и распустил войско, но гетману не подчинялся и продолжал удерживать занятые ранее земли Чигиринского полка. В то же время к Пушкарю присоединяется Миргородский полк. 8 марта казаки полка созвали раду, отстранили наказного полковника Леонтия Козла, избрали полковником Степана Довгаля и постановили не подчиняться полковнику Григорию Лесницкому. В это время на Украину прибыл новый посланник от царя Фирс Байбаков, который ехал к Пушкарю с царским посланием. Алексей Михайлович требовал от полковника подчиниться власти Выговского, избранного «по единогласному обранью всего войска» и распустить казаков по домам. Но встретиться с Пушкарем Байбаков не успел. Гетман выслал против восставших наказного гетмана Григория Гуляницкого с Нежинским, Прилуцким и Черниговским полками, которые осадили Лохвицу, и Пушкарь объявил мобилизацию. Осада шла неудачно для Гуляницкого, казаки не хотели воевать с казаками, а часть сотен собственного полка Гуляницкого — Нежинского, пыталась перейти на сторону Пушкаря. В результате 18 марта наказной гетман снял осаду и отступил. В конце марта 1658 года запорожцы снова избирают Якова Барабаша кошевым.

В конце марта в Путивль прибыло посольство от Пушкаря во главе с Иваном Искрой и сыном Пушкаря Марком. В Путивле посольство встретилось с Байбаковым. На этот раз восставшие могли подтвердить свои обвинения в адрес гетмана конкретными данными. Искра сообщил, что под Канев уже пришли крымские татары и что гетман Выговский посылал полковника Павла Тетерю к полякам «призывать ляхов на разорении Малой Росии его великого государя Черкасским городам».

Активные переговоры гетмана с представителями Речи Посполитой начались в марте 1658 года, когда Павел Тетеря встретился со Станиславом Беневским. На этих переговорах, прежде всего, обсуждался план военных действий против России. Вместе с тем, Беневский, который в письме королю высказал уверенность в верности Тетери, не решился высказать ту же уверенность в адрес гетмана.

Царь Алексей Михайлович не верил Пушкарю, доверяя гетману, и пытался примирить стороны, указывая Пушкарю, что он должен подчиниться власти Выговского «и жити с гетманом в совете и любви и послушании…, чтоб тому бунтовству неприятели не порадовались и безвестно зла над вами какого не учинили». Алексей Михайлович также указывал и гетману, чтобы он с татарами «на его государевы Черкасские города не ходил, и христианским душам большого кровопролития не учинил».

20 марта в Киев прибыл отец Выговского Остафий, который встретился с киевским воеводой Андреем Бутурлиным. Остафий сообщил, что гетман созвал раду, которая постановила просить царя, чтобы он «прислал в Малую Росию ратных людей для укрепления казацких шатостей». В Москву от гетмана посылался Григорий Лесницкий, который должен был объяснить царю причины, по которым гетман заключил соглашение с татарами.

Пока продолжались переговоры в Москве, конфликт на Украине продолжал накаляться. Когда в конце апреля в Чигирин прибыл посланец царя стольник Иван Апухтин, гетман уже определился в решении подавить восстание с помощью Крыма. Для подавления оппозиции Выговский призвал на помощь крымских татар, расплачиваясь с ними «живым товаром», — населением разорённых украинских городов и местечек. Земли Полтавского и Миргородского полков становятся ареной военных действий.

Соединившись с Ордой, 4 мая 1658 года Выговский выступил к Полтаве и запер там Пушкаря. Осада затягивалась, а тут ещё на сторону восставших перешёл пользовавшийся большим уважением соратник Богдана Хмельницкого полковник Филон Джеджалий. Он стоял у самых истоков восстания Хмельницкого ещё в 1648 году, переведя на сторону Хмельницкого реестровых казаков. Джеджалий условился с Пушкарём, что ночью восставшие нападут на лагерь Выговского, а он перейдёт на их сторону. Когда 11 июня 1658 Пушкарь сделал вылазку с большим отрядом, Джеджалий со своими казаками присоединился к ним, и вместе они напали на шатёр Выговского. Но оказалось, что гетман знал о нападении и был наготове. Он спал не раздеваясь и, услышав шум, бросился бежать, схватил коня и ускакал к татарам, стоявшим в миле от его лагеря. Обнаружив отсутствие Выговского в шатре, Пушкарь обвинил Джеджалия в измене и тут же убил его. В это время Выговский с татарами напали на Пушкаря. В бою Пушкарь погиб, а его голову принесли Выговскому.

Затем штурмом были взяты и разгромлены Лубны и Гадяч. Тысячи городских и сельских жителей «с женами и детьми», с согласия гетмана, были уведены ордынцами в Крым и проданы в рабство на невольничьих рынках.

Барабаш, ища защиты Москвы, отступил в русские украинные города. В августе 1658 по просьбе гетмана и по царскому указу он был арестован. Однако 24 августа, когда дворянин Яков Левшин в сопровождении 200 драгун из полка Иоганна Инвалта и донских казаков вёз Барабаша на суд из Белгорода в Киев, на конвой неожиданно напали сторонники Выговского. Барабаш был доставлен к гетману и казнён.

Последствия
После подавления восстания весной-летом 1658 года гетман Выговский начал репрессии против старшины. В июне 1658 года по приказу гетмана был убит переяславский полковник Иван Сулима, через несколько месяцев лишился головы новый переяславский полковник Колюбаца, расстреляли корсунского полковника Тимофея Оникиенко, вместе с полковниками были казнены 12 сотников разных полков. Спасаясь от гетмана, на Сечь бежали уманский полковник Иван Беспалый, паволоцкий полковник Михаил Суличич и генеральный есаул Иван Ковалевский. Яким Самко бежал на Дон.

Жестокое подавление восстания не привело к полному уничтожению оппозиции. Жестокости выговцев в полной мере вылились на их головы осенью 1658 года, во время похода Белгородского полка на Украину, когда разъярённые ополченцы и запорожцы грабили и жгли украинские города. Даже Ромодановский и казачьи старшины не могли их остановить. Казаки мстили сторонникам Выговского за то, что «их разоряли, домы пожгли, и жон и детей татаром отдали».

New Lambton cap off amazing season with epic Grand Final win

New Lambton 4 (Tara Andrews 2, Jenna Kennedy, Lauren Allan) def. Merewether United 3 (Rhali Dobson 2, Courtney Anderson)
Sunday 1 September, 3 pm, Rockwell Automation Park
New Lambton has been crowned Herald Women's Premier League champions, scoring an extra-time 4-3 victory over defending champions Merewether at Rockwell Automation Park on Sunday afternoon after a shootout that stretched into the evening.
Merewether was the first on the board in Weston, with Rhali Dobson giving the three-time champions an early lead in the 10th minute. Tara Andrews struck back nearly immediately, slotting home a trademark turn and shoot into the bottom corner in the 14th minute.
The Llamas again took the lead early in the second half through Courtney Anderson, but the Eagles refused to lay down. 10 minutes after Merewether had claimed the lead, New Lambton levelled the game again after Jenna Kennedy found the ball off a corner chance.
Merewether appeared to have found their way back into control after Stacey Day's handball in the box gave Dobson a penalty chance that she fired home, but livewire winger Lauren Allan tapped in a back-post chance less than five minutes after the spot-kick.
Then the epic in Weston headed into extra-time after the score was locked 3-3 at 90 minutes. It was the first time since the Herald Women's Premier League opening season that the decider needed the extra 30 minutes to provide a winner.
The winner came, eventually, in the 107th minute of play. In a similar chance to her first goal, Andrews found space at the top of Merewether's box and cut in from the right, firing the championship goal into the bottom right corner to seal the Eagles' victory.
After a season of firsts for the club, New Lambton boss Keelan Hamilton said he and the girls were "so happy" to leap over the final hurdle and claim the Herald WPL silverware for 2019.
"We're really excited, for myself personally I'm really proud of the effort that the girls have put in this season, they've earned everything that they got," said Hamilton.
"It was a really fitting moment for us to win, we showed grit and determination and proved why we're premiers. It was a bit of a nerve-wracking, but we showed a lot of character to not drop our heads in extra-time, and especially after that penalty we conceded."
Hamilton also said he was pleased that Andrews had found the extra-time winner against Merewether on Sunday afternoon, after all she had done to fire the Eagles' campaign into the history books of the league.
"She's a fantastic player, and I thought the leadup to that goal was class as well. It was nearly 110 minutes into the game and our fullback is still running up the wing and creating that chance is absolutely fantastic to see," Hamilton said.
"It was very fitting for Tara to be the one to score the winner, she's been a big-game player for us time and time again and for her to do that one last time in a season that has been so great for the team was just a really special moment I thought."
With the premiership and championship double-locked away in just the second year in the women's top-grade, Hamilton knows the whole club is in that special moment.
"It's unbelievable, if you had said to any of us at the start of last season that we'd end up doing the double and get the most points ever in a WPL season, and score the most goals ever, we would have laughed at you," Hamilton said.
"This is such a special moment for us, and our players and supporters have had such a special day and night.
"The offseason is going to be great for the girls now, they've earned their rest. For now, we're savouring this moment, it's been amazing for us all."

I finished reading the 358/2 days novel a little while ago and by far my favorite parts of it were when the point of view shifted from the main cast to other characters. Saix interactions with Axel were always a highlight while reading it.
It realy gave an interesting look into their relationship, the tension of their broken friendship, and Saixs character as a whole.
And it was especially fascinating to get to be in Saix point of view from time to time though it was never for very long.
What do you think? Would you be interested in something like that?
I felt Days would have been better off having a different protagonist than Roxas. Riku or Axel would have been a better fit for me.
I wouldn't mind a Saix spinoff where he tries to find his way if Xehanort's schemes fail. He gets free and he's trying to redeem himself but he doesn't know how. So he travels around trying to sort that out.
You could sneak in flashbacks to his time in the organization there. He wonders onto a world where he's been on before during when he's in the organization.

13 Beats of the Week: 10/8/2020
Miller Downer, Managing Editor
"It's Getting Old," by Cottonwood Firing Squad—CFS has always been a favorite of mine for presenting emotion in a raw fashion. "It's Getting Old" is a comfortable entry into solo-musician Billi Rodriguez's discography as it introduces a new listener to just about everything they need to know and expect from further dives into projects like Wyoming.
"Deep Sea," by Snail Mail—Snail Mail is easily a forerunner in the ever-growing bedroom pop sphere, taking the genre's most notable features and distilling them to perfection. Simple and to the point, "Deep Sea" pulls especially well on some heartstrings.
"Milk," by Sweet Trip—Sweet Trip, known previously for their glitch-poppy dance hits off of their 2003 album Velocity : Design : Comfort, continue to impress after delving into a more progressive, stripped take on bedroom pop. "Milk" off their 2009 LP You Will Never Know Why serves as a capstone of the group's efforts.
"The Glow, Pt. 2," by The Microphones—The title track of The Microphones' 2001 indie folk record, "The Glow, Pt. 2" is important. It aided in the development of more artists down the line, such as Bright Eyes, Sufjan Stevens and Iron and Wine to name a few.
"Place To Be," by Nick Drake—Nick Drake, receiving posthumous fame for his incredible rule-breaking musical genius and vulnerable songwriting, is an artist that everyone needs to know in detail.
"Girl," by Standing on the Corner—Brooklyn-based sound collective Standing on the Corner are rambunctious, powerful and unpredictable. This track unfortunately supersedes any sort of description with its genre-jumping and progressive gusto, placing it on a pedestal of art as well as music.
"Besame Mucho," by João Gilberto—Gilberto is unarguably one of the biggest names to come out of Brazil's bossa nova movement of the 1950s and 1960s, with "Besame Mucho" encapsulating all elements of the genre perfectly.
"California," by Dessert—I really wish I could find any information on Dessert; all I have is that there are at least three members: Luka, Henry and Jack. This being said, the lack of info on this futuristic pop conglomerate shouldn't dissuade anyone from listening to some of the most interesting sounds to come out of the genre recently.
"Red Dust," by billy woods & Kenny Segal—billy woods is a poetically violent, underground rapper that tells of the abstract struggles of existence with a sarcastic and misanthropic delivery that hits so heavily you can practically hear the spit whistle past his teeth. Not for the faint of heart, "Red Dust" is a tale of violence, the loss of innocence and the inevitability of impermanence.
"I Aint Cried Yet," by Nickelus F—There's something uniquely introspective and clever about rap enigma Nickelus F, who puns just as easily as he threatens throughout "I Aint Cried Yet" off of his 2018 project Stuck—for example, one of his best bars: "To sell ticks the whole point, God; word to Kyrie."
"North Pole," by Injury Reserve—Many know how much I love Injury Reserve, an Arizona rap-group of music nerds with big dreams. After losing key member Jordan "Stepa J." Groggs, every track hits even harder than before—especially if they sound like "North Pole," an uncharacteristically somber production for the usually-bombastic trio.
"Stuck in the Mud (feat. SZA)," by Isaiah Rashad—Top Dawg Entertainment rapper Isaiah Rashad has always capitalized on his ability to tell stories indirectly, either through loose narration or isolated individual events that decorate his verses. The addition of SZA on this track only makes it that much better.
"Chum," by Earl Sweatshirt—Any burnout on campus can tell you how important this song was to their adolescence, myself included. Angsty, dark and incredibly graphic, legendary rapper Earl Sweatshirt (before becoming the experimental rap artist that he is today) moved with likeminded artists in the Odd Future collective, producing tracks like "Chum" to reflect on a delinquency in youth and the repercussions thereof.

We use banks every day. Paying for groceries. Saving for a home.
But a royal commission has shown banks don't always treat us fairly.
Tell politicians to fix the banks for good.
Over 15,658 voices added. Let's get to 20,000!
We think banks should put our interests first, not just their own.
CHOICE has been in there from day one of the royal commission, fighting for consumers like you – and it has paid off.
An interim report released by the commission shows it's not buying what the banks are selling. It slammed the banks as "dishonest" and "greedy".
Now the commission is considering a major overhaul of how our banks are run, regulated and penalised for doing the wrong thing.
What's the banking royal commission?
After dozens of high-profile banking scandals in Australia, people pushed our politicians for a formal inquiry - a royal commission.
Its full title's a mouthful: the Royal Commission into Misconduct in the Banking, Superannuation and Financial Services Industry.
But its aims are to investigate poor conduct in the industry and put forward solutions to help make the system work better for all Australians.
Who's hurt by bad banking behaviour?
Three of almost 3000 stories people shared with us.
*Becky's image changed to protect her identity.
After selling our business 14 years ago, my husband and I approached our financial adviser.
He recommended investing in two agribusiness schemes, Wilmott (forestry) and Rewards (fruit growing), which he touted as long-term, very safe, low-risk investments, government-accredited and with a five-star rating. If the schemes failed, our investment would be underwritten by the value of the trees and fruits we owned. A long-term, very safe way of paying into our pension, we were told.
After 12 years (over which we paid tens of thousands a year in management fees and interest), both schemes failed and went into liquidation. Wilmott called in receivers who sold all the assets [trees], then sold the lease on the land to the bank. The bank have aggressively pursued us, charging exorbitant interest, ever since.
My husband was bankrupted by them four years ago and, despite trying to settle with them, the bank is now bankrupting me as well. This has blighted our lives, destroyed our future, the future we planned for our children, caused 14 years of enormous stress, depression and strain on our marriage.
The financial adviser pocketed $80k commission on each of us.
We're good people. We tried to do the right thing. We've always tried to do the right thing. And yet we've lost everything we owned because of this decision we made on the advice of a financial adviser.

*Hugh's name and image changed to protect his son's identity.
Two credit card debts rolled into a personal loan at 17.4% p.a.
In 2010 and 2011, one of the big four banks allowed my son, Michael, to run up a number of credit card debts in excess of $50,000 [well above his expected yearly income of about $35,000] despite the fact that the bank was fully aware that his weekly income was no more than $675 per week.
The bank at one stage rolled two credit card debts into a seven-year personal loan with an interest rate of 17.4% p.a. and still issued him with a further credit card.

Woke to find children asleep and their "beds surrounded by water."
[During severe floods in Qld in 2011,] the downstairs of our home became unlivable as water rushed through downstairs. We woke to find our two children asleep and their beds surrounded by water.
Our insurer refused to cover us. We had flood cover, but apparently not stormwater cover. We lived halfway down a hill in Yarraman, Qld. A metre of water came through, the school below us was also affected, as well as surrounding houses, but we still weren't covered (others were).
The insurer said it was our poor drainage that made the water come through. Yet everyone else around us had similar damage and they were covered.
It took them eight months to decide that they wouldn't cover us! Eight months while I was pregnant and had two children without bedrooms!
It financially ruined us, and seven years later we are only just starting to get back on track.

JAWS Screen Reader Session, Microformats and Us.
Last Monday I had the opportunity to visit the Test Partners, after an invite by Steve Green, to attend an afternoon of screen reader demonstration. I'm exceptionally glad I went, and it's a shame I've been too busy to mention it sooner.
Firstly, the session concentrated on a specific sub-group of internet users – the blind. Steve made a point of saying that with any project you need to decide who your target audience is as measures to help one group of users may be mutually exclusive to helping another. As such, he stated clearly that within this session (and my feedback below) that the techniques and problems raised are relating to those specifically who are visually impaired and using screen readers.
However, in my opinion, a site that is easy and understandable to navigate for screen reader users probably does go a long way to making this whole web experience easier for a range of people with varying difficulties and user needs.
We ran through JAWS operation. JAWS in particular because it has the market share of screen reader users.
From testing on live sites, it became clear pretty quickly that headers and lists were really, if not the most, important. Properly used headers (semantically correct) give an easy way to navigate to prominent areas of the page and also give instant context.
The logic behind putting navigation buttons into lists also became ever so clear when you hear JAWS inform you that there is a list of 6 links coming up. Not only does that sound like a navigation, you can easily be ready for how far into said list you're probably going to have to look to get to the section you want (somewhere in a dozen or a hundred links?).
The reason these two things are particularly important is because of the way a blind user creates his or her visual model of how the site works. They can't just glance at what's coming or where something is. They must make a top-down mental image of what's available on the page by running through the entire document (unless they already know the site and can rely on it being the same as the previous visit).
This method of mental navigation shows why consistency and predictability are really vital. I'm not saying that every site should be laid out in an identical way, but subsections of a site should follow a template defined by the initial landing page and navigation should be pretty standardised.
Thinking about this does remind me of a reason why I like microformats and think they may have some potential as accessibility aids and therefore why I'd like to see them utilised within something like JAWS.
Microformats are a way of standardising more specific elements within a page, and I'm sure it would be useful to some if they could have JAWS announce to them that the page they have just landed on has 4 headings, 12 links, a contact and 3 calendar events.
The reason I mention microformats in particular is because it's something I've been giving some thought to for a while in direct association with accessibility and think I'd like to elaborate on in the future. Feedback in this area is especially welcome.
For me though, the most surprising thing was being told that by default, most SR users don't read title, acronym and abbreviation attributes! A majority of users find it annoying to be given the extra (and often superfluous) information. The lesson learnt here is to make sure that everything that is important to the understanding of a document should be in the actual page copy, rather than hidden away in tag attributes.
There were many other bits and pieces of interest – from reminding us all that display:none is adhered to by JAWS to writing good copy can go a long, long way, and then that access keys (uh oh) aren't particularly utilised or useful because most sites don't offer them so they cannot be relied upon.
The thing is – JAWS is a bit smarter than I've given it credit for. Saying that though, from the feedback from John, a vast majority of users aren't advanced users and probably aren't toggling features on and off to get the most out of a site.
So, there's two things there – users probably need more training, or at least opportunities to learn how to use websites on their own in some way, but equally as publishers to the web we should be making the best effort to present information – and that's ultimately what we're all doing after all – as clearly and as simply as possible.
Web standardistas will already be doing this I'm sure and rolling their eyes at being told yet again, but it's important not to forget why you're doing it. It's not just about being correct for correct's sake; it's about giving everyone a fair chance.

Business Visits & Events Partnership chairman Michael Hirst has welcomed the government's support for the UK events industry.
Hirst, who is the campaign co-ordinator for Britain for Events, cited this week's endorsement of the campaign by prime minister David Cameron and culture secretary Jeremy Hunt.
Their endorsement follows that of minister of tourism John Penrose and MP Nick de Bois, chairman of the All Party Parliamentary Group for Events.
Hirst said: "Event tourism is now firmly on the government agenda. It is fitting that these developments have all taken place in the lead up to, and during one of the UKs seminal tourism events and goes to demonstrate the growing role both business and leisure events play in the UK tourism."

Mbappé's sharp response to Emiliano Martinez
Targeted by the Argentines and especially by Emiliano Martinez after the crowning of Albicleste against the Blues, Kylian Mbappé spoke about these provocations after the match against Strasbourg (2-1).
Kylian Mbappe admitted it himself: he will never be able to digest the defeat conceded on penalties against Argentina in the World Cup final. As they dreamed of another crown, four years after winning it in Russia, Bondynois saw the Blues falter in the final step despite his incredible hat-trick in the final.
Kylian Mbappé digested much more easily the provocations he was exposed to from Argentines in general and Emiliano Martinez in particular. After declaring him dead and calling for a minute's silence in his honor in the dressing room at the Lusail Stadium, the Albiceleste goalkeeper paraded during the world champions' parade in Buenos Aires with a doll bearing the image of the player.Parisian striker.
I don't waste energy on such trivial things
In any case, the former Monegasque has no intention of throwing fuel on the fire and sitting over it. "Celebrations are not my problem. I don't waste energy on such trivial things, he thus launched after the victory snatched away PSG against Strasbourg (2-1), on Wednesday, on the occasion of the resumption of Ligue 1. The important thing for me is to give the best of myself for my club and we will wait for Leo (Messi) to come back to continue scoring and winning games. »
Kylian Mbappé took the opportunity to explain that he was not angry with Lionel Messi, but still in the front row during the episode of the doll. "I chatted with (Leo Messi) after the game, I congratulated him. It was the quest of a lifetime for him as well as for me, but I failed, so you always have to remain a good player.he explained.

McLaren Senna Hits 62 MPH In Just 2.8s
McLaren has finally released the much anticipated technical information and new images of the McLaren Senna ahead of the car's public debut on Tuesday, March 6, at the 88th Geneva International Motor Show.
True to the legendary abilities of the racing driver whose name it bears, the McLaren Senna has been designed, engineered and developed to be the ultimate road-legal McLaren track car. With 800PS (789bhp) and 800Nm (590b ft) from its 4.0-litre, twin-turbocharged V8 – McLaren' s most powerful-ever internal combustion engine in a road car – and the ability to generate a staggering 800kg of downforce, the 1,198kg McLaren Senna delivers the purest possible connection between driver and car.
Performance is breathtaking. The McLaren Senna can cover 0–62mph in 2.8 seconds; 0-124 mph is achieved in just 6.8 seconds and a standing quarter-mile in only 9.9 seconds. Impressive though the straight-line acceleration and maximum speed of 211 mph are, the true depth of the performance credentials of the new Ultimate Series McLaren will be revealed when it calls on downforce of up to 800kg on a circuit, against the stop-watch.
The McLaren Senna combines low vehicle weight, extreme power, aerodynamic excellence and a revolutionary, active suspension system to deliver the most responsive and engaging road car experience to date from the British luxury sports car and supercar maker.
The McLaren Senna is priced at £750,000 (just over $1 million USD,). Just 500 will be built, each hand-assembled in a 300-hour process at the McLaren Production Centre in Woking, Surrey, England. All are assigned to buyers, the one remaining build allocation having been auctioned in December 2017 at a private event for McLaren customers. The winning bid was £2 million, with the proceeds going to the Ayrton Senna Institute, a non-profit organisation dedicated to providing education for nearly two million unprivileged children and youngsters in Brazil.
The visual impact of the car is the equal of its savage performance. Organic shapes have given way to an aggressive design language that is ruthless in bending and guiding airflow to meet aerodynamic requirements and the strongest expression yet of McLaren's 'form follows function' philosophy. Proportionally, it is unmistakably a McLaren, but you cannot follow a single body line from front to rear without it passing through a functional intake or vent.
Precise control of airflow begins the moment it hits the nose of the car, the air meeting four surfaces – front splitter; active aero blades: secondary fixed aero blades and slot-gaps located between the headlights and daytime running lights – and being turned by each element in sequence. The design of the rear of the car was born entirely from aerodynamic and cooling requirements, prominent 'gurney flaps' ahead of a succession of stepped louvres directing air away from the rear deck and down the sides of the body. The resulting area of low pressure draws hot air out from the high-temperature radiators and engine bay, the louvres ensuring that airflow does not impact rear wing efficiency. Unique slash-cut exhausts make a similar airflow contribution, their positioning and angle negating any disturbance to the wing or rear diffuser.
The exhaust pipes exit through the lowest rear deck (measured at the trailing edge) of any McLaren road car, a full 18cm lower than the McLaren Super Series. In contrast to the ultra-low rear deck, the hydraulically-operated, double-element carbon fibre rear wing – a major contributor to the downforce generated – is noticeably high and constantly adjusts to optimise downforce and maintain ideal aerodynamic balance. The wing weighs just 4.87kg, yet can support more than 100 times its own weight in downforce.
The double diffuser at the rear is equally prominent; crafted from a single piece of carbon fibre, it starts under the rear axle and as it increases in height accelerates air out from under the vehicle. This creates a low-pressure zone and 'sucks' the McLaren Senna to the ground.
The driver's seat moves on rails and the foot pedals are fixed – the optimum solution to reduce component complexity and weight. The module to select Drive, Neutral and Reverse is fixed to the driver's seat and moves with it, ensuring the controls are always close at hand. Door release mechanisms and window switches have been moved to the centre of the vehicle in a roof-mounted panel. The three-spoke steering wheel, trimmed in Alcantara or leather, is free of buttons and switches to allow a pure focus on the sensory feedback it delivers. The grip offered with and without gloves has been optimised for track driving, as has the design of the wheel itself. Tactile, extended gearshift paddles in satin-finish visual carbon fibre, linked with a rocker switch, are fixed behind the steering wheel.
The driver receives information from the McLaren Folding Driver Display and the central infotainment screen. In Full Display Mode, the folding driver display presents information on an upright TFT screen, with three different layouts depending on whether the McLaren Senna is being driven in Comfort, Sport, Track or Race modes. Linked to the Active Dynamics Panel settings or independently controlled if preferred, the display screen slides down into Slim Display Mode to show only crucial information such as speed, engine rpm and selected gear. This position is designed for circuit driving, where it further improves forward visibility of the track, but will also appeal to those who prefer a simpler display while driving on road.
The 'floating' central infotainment screen is presented in portrait to increase interior space. It is also angled out and up towards the driver to be easily visible within line of sight even when a helmet is being worn. The edge-to-edge glass screen integrates the Active Dynamics Panel and an 8-inch display that presents vehicle functions to the driver: audio, media, navigation and other features are all controlled using this TFT screen.
A range of luxury and convenience features are available upon request, including high-grade leathers and a wider 'Touring' specification of the Super-Lightweight carbon fibre seat. Parking sensors and a rear-view camera are no-cost options. Additionally, McLaren has collaborated with Bowers & Wilkins to create an audio system specifically designed for the McLaren Senna, the optional, ultra-lightweight 7-speaker audio system weighing just 7.32kg.

There is a widespread myth that young people are feckless and irresponsible. To contradict this, Gavin and Simeon present twelve groups of real young people, and the adults who helped to form, nurture and develop them. Their book explores how these groups began, grew, experienced the presence of God, and acted to change their communities in Jesus' name. It will encourage readers to see young people as exciting, challenging, vibrant and potential revolutionaries. It will challenge young readers to emulate the true-life stories within the book, and take steps to revolutionise their churches, schools and communities. It will also show that to be a 'youth leader', it is not necessary to be a spiritual giant, but simply a faithful servant of God.
Gavin is the director of mission for the Evangelical Alliance, helping to mobilise mission across England. He is passionate about seeing the local Church fulfil its calling to take the gospel of Jesus into every community. A theology graduate, ordained evangelist and regular public speaker, he loves adventure and is a passionate AFC Wimbledon supporter.

Jewish lawmaker quits British Labour Party after 55 years over anti-Semitism
https://www.jta.org/quick-reads/jewish-veteran-lawmaker-quits-british-labour-party-over-anti-semitism
(JTA) — A Jewish lawmaker in Britain who has been a member of the Labour Party for 55 years resigned from the party on Thursday over its anti-Semitism problem.
Louise Ellman said party leader Jeremy Corbyn is "not fit" to become prime minister, BBC reported. She wrote in her resignation letter that she is "deeply troubled" by the "growth of anti-Semitism" in Labour in recent years.
Ellman said she "can no longer advocate voting Labour when it risks Corbyn becoming" prime minister.
Labour said it was taking "robust action" to root out anti-Semitism, though leaders of British Jewry and watchdog groups have dismissed the claim, blaming Corbyn for mainstreaming anti-Semitism in the party ranks.
Ellman has been a lawmaker since 1997. Labour has "become a very extreme and uncomfortable place," she said.
The Equality and Human Rights Commission launched a formal investigation in March into the Labour Party over allegations of anti-Semitism following referrals from Jewish groups.
"A party that permits anti-Jewish racism to flourish cannot be called anti-racist," Ellman wrote.
"This is not compatible with the Labour Party's values of equality, tolerance and respect for minorities. My values — traditional Labour values — have remained the same. It is Labour, under Jeremy Corbyn, that has changed."
Several lawmakers, including some Jews, have left Labour since Corbyn's election as party leader in 2015. The far-left politician has called Hamas and Hezbollah his "friends."
Marie van der Zyl, president of the Board of Deputies of British Jews, called Ellman's resignation "a damning indictment of Labour."

Brewers reliever Jacob Barnes learned that having minor-league options can mean lots of back and forth on the roster.
PHOENIX – Jacob Barnes got his first up-close look last season at how bullpens are managed now in terms of keeping fresh arms on hand, and it was a bit jarring.
After allowing three hits and one run in a wild 11-10 victory in Colorado on May 11, the Milwaukee Brewers reliever was optioned to Class AAA Colorado Springs the next day to allow Alec Asher to be selected from that club. After pitching two innings on May 12, Asher was sent back down but Barnes did not return for 16 days.
"That was tough," said Barnes, who had a 2.84 ERA in 17 appearances when he was sent out. "One of the down sides of having (minor-league) options is they are used for that. You can end up going up and down a lot. It's not fun.
Barnes went back and forth to Class AAA Colorado Springs three times before the season was done. He still squeezed in 49 appearances with the Brewers, going 0-1 with a 3.33 ERA, with 47 strikeouts in 48⅔ innings. He was not on their postseason roster.
Relief corps are managed more fluidly than a few years ago, in large part because those arms are used more in the era of "bullpening." Pitchers with options who are not part of the high-leverage subset are vulnerable to becoming human yo-yos as teams try to keep fresh relievers at the ready. As an example, Jorge Lopez was up and down six times with the Brewers last year before being sent to Kansas City on July 27 in the Mike Moustakas trade.
Barnes, 28, has one minor-league option remaining, putting him in the same position as he prepares for the 2019 season. It has been an eye-opening experience for a pitcher who made 73 relief appearances for the Brewers in 2017.
"They do use (options) often," Barnes said. "It doesn't always matter if you're putting up good numbers. A lot of times, they just need a fresh arm. If you have an option, you're going to be the person sent down.
Before the '18 season was done, the Brewers used 23 different pitchers out of the bullpen, some who also made starts. Pitcher/hitter matchups are stressed more than ever, leading to bullpens being shuffled somewhat from series to series, at times.
Manager Craig Counsell said pitchers with options at the low end of the relief pecking order are informed they might be in positions such as Barnes, Lopez and Adrian Houser, among others, were last year.
"I think it's important to get out in front of it," Counsell said. "Players know they have options. And they know it's a possibility. You try to get yourself out of that category (by performance). If you're performing at a level where we don't want to consider it, that's part of it.
"We do have the conversation. They know it's happening; we know it's happening. Let's acknowledge it. Every player wants to be in the big leagues for the whole season. If a player gets sent down, he's disappointed. We understand and expect it. But oftentimes they're going to be back.
For now, Barnes is focusing on making the Brewers' bullpen out of spring training, no small task considering the number of good arms in camp vying for jobs. Whether he opens the season or not in the majors, he understands that it could be another year of piling up frequent-flyer miles, this time from the new Class AAA affiliate in San Antonio.
"You try not to worry about it," he said. "You know there's always a chance it could happen. It's the reality of it. But all you can control is what you do. We have a very talented bullpen. It's fun to be part of that.

Matt Hardy On WWE Buying GFW, Late Change Made To WWE SmackDown Plans, Jinder Mahal Fallout - Wrestling Inc.
- The main event of this past Tuesday's SmackDown was originally scheduled to be a triple threat match with Charlotte Flair, Becky Lynch and Naomi, according to PWInsider. The plan was changed late in the day for Tamina to be added in the match.
- There continues to be more fallout from Jinder Mahal's promo on Shinsuke Nakamura on last night's SmackDown, which included Mahal saying that Nakamuara "always rooks the same" and referring to him as Mr. Miyagi. We mentioned earlier today that Marissa Payne of The Washington Post is asking fans who attended last night's show to contact her for "a story about racist promos." Deadspin has a story here ripping the segment.
"There's a litany of racist promos in WWE's history, sure," the article read. "But there's no reason for this kind of s--t. It doesn't make Mahal a better character and it doesn't build for his match against Nakamura that much. It's just awkward and sad.

MongoDB, the company, is a New York-based software vendor that sells software and support subscriptions to help enterprises run and manage MongoDB at scale in production.
The NoSQL database is the darling of application developers because of its aforementioned ability to handle data of varying structure and its ease-of-use. Developers can easily, for example, add or remove data fields and quickly build, test and iterate new applications with MongoDB. Speaking at MongoDB World this week, Mike Simone, head of data engineering at Citigroup, said a developer at the bank can spin up a three-node MongoDB cluster from his/her desk in less than 20 minutes and have a prototype app up and running in less than an hour. Such a process with traditional approaches would take days or weeks.
This popularity has resulted in over seven million downloads of the open source NoSQL database to date.
Despite its popularity with developers, however, MongoDB has proven less popular with enterprise operations teams used to supporting more traditional applications running against relational database management systems. Operations practitioners report difficulty running analytics and business intelligence-style reporting against data in MongoDB and maintaining consistent performance at scale. Security is also a concern. These operational knocks could inhibit MongoDB's growth in mainstream enterprises, particularly those in regulated industries.
But MongoDB, the company, is turning these weakness into strength for its business by developing management, monitoring and security software and services to enable ops teams to run MongoDB at scale to support mission-critical applications. It is also turning to partnerships to fill in some of these functional gaps and to smooth MongoDB's entrance into existing enterprise infrastructure.
MongoDB Management Service (MMS) is the monitoring and management application suite developed by MongoDB for operational professionals. MMS was initially only available via cloud subscription, but MongoDB introduced an on-premise version early this year. As part of its most recent upgrade, MongoDB 2.6, the company also made a number of important enhancements to MMS to appeal to operations professionals. They include the introduction of a query planner, improved reporting and visualization functionality, point-in-time recovery capabilities and incremental, continuous backup.
MongoDB also continues to work with the MongoDB community to improve the core database itself with a focus on enterprise-grade capabilities. For example, in the latest upgrade MongoDB changed the way writes are made to the system in bulk operations to improve performance. The company also works with its cloud partners to optimize performance on their infrastructure. MongoDB is working with AWS, for instance, to better configure MongoDB on EC2 to improve disk throughput.
MongoDB has also been busy on the partnership front. To provide better analytics and BI capabilities, the company recently announced technology partnerships with Hadoop vendor Cloudera, data warehouse incumbent Teradata and data integration/BI provider Pentaho, among others. MongoDB also works closely with IBM, despite IBM's acquisition of NoSQL rival Cloudant. MongoDB and IBM partnered last year to enable DB2 applications to draw on data in MongoDB, and the two are working together to integrate MongoDB security and monitoring capabilities, such as user-defined roles and field-level security, with IBM Guardium.
MongoDB currently has more than 1,000 paying customers, up more than 100% in the last two years. Customers include marquee names such as Citigroup, Verizon and Bosch. Based on Wikibon's analysis, the company recorded $62 million in revenue in 2013, up from $37 million in 2012. It has amassed $230 million in funding to date, though Chairman Dwight Merriman recently told SVBJ profitability is at least a couple of years out.
Another important element is simply reaching a wider user base. As such, MongoDB this week announced partnerships with Microsoft Azure and Google Compute Engine to offer MongoDB and MMS on their respective cloud platforms. MongoDB also prices its subscriptions extremely aggressively, with its basic subscription starting at $2,500 per user. MongoDB Max Schireson believes aggressive pricing is critical to the company's early growth and that it will make up in volume what it leaves on the table in per unit pricing.
As with any hot market, MongoDB has no shortage of NoSQL competitors. Among them is Aerospike, which offers a flash-optimized NoSQL database for real-time operational workloads. Just this week, Aerospike announced a $20 million funding round and open sourced its eponymous database to spur adoption. Another competitor is Couchbase, which announced its own $60 million round of funding this week, bringing its total funding to $110 million. Then, of course, there's Oracle, which has more to lose than any other incumbent database vendor from the NoSQL threat. Oracle offers its own NoSQL database but faces challenges incentivizing its field to sell NoSQL over the more lucrative Exadata.
Long-term, a challenge for MongoDB is continuing to cultivate the open source community, critical to its early success, while reining in its aggressive pricing. Speaking at MongoDB World, CEO Schireson acknowledged that the value its customers get from MongoDB is disproportionate to the price they pay the company for its software and services. That is a smart strategy while in growth phase, but pressure from investors to increase pricing will likely mount as MongoDB, the company, matures and eyes a potential IPO.
Action Item: Operations professionals tasked with supporting MongoDB deployments should take the time to learn about the latest enterprise-grade features introduced in MongoDB 2.6. Also, push MongoDB on its long-term plans vis-a-vis those features most important to maintaining performance at scale and improving security and analytics/reporting.
Jeff, Great analysis of MongoB. I hope you will do more of these on other NoSQL leaders over the summer. What do you think of MarkLogic?

Q: How to give the data to serializer with JSONField I have model and serializer with JSONField
class Profile(models.Model):
    user = models.OneToOneField(User,on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    detail = models.JSONField(default=dict)

    def __str__(self):
        return self.user.username

class ProfileSerializer(ModelSerializer):
    class Meta:
        model = m.Profile
        fields = '__all__'

Then,I want to set the data to serializer class,
However some how serializer.is_valid() faild.
I have tested two pettern data1 data2
    temp_data = {"data":"test"}

    data1 = {"detail":temp_data}   # test_data1
    data2 = {"detail":json.dumps(temp_data)} # test_data2

    print(data1)  # {'detail': {'data': 'test'}}
    print(data2)  # {'detail': '{"data": "test"}'}

    instance = self.get_object()

    serializer = self.get_serializer(instance,data = data1) # or data2

    if serializer.is_valid():
       # serializer
    else:
        print("is_valid failed")

What data should I give to this serializer?
And is there any method to debug is_valid()?

A: You are giving the data in right way, but as you are updating partially, you need to pass one more parameter:
serializer = self.get_serializer(instance, data=data1, partial=True)

To debug the is_valid method, you can either throw exceptions from it like .is_valid(raise_exception=True); or in your code, print serializer.errors in else block to print the exact errors. More information on validation can be found in documentation.

Captain Frank Billinge,  (19 December 1894 – 28 September 1928) was a World War I flying ace credited with five aerial victories.

Military service
Billinge was commissioned as a probationary second lieutenant in the 3rd Battalion, Manchester Regiment, from the Officers' Training Corps on 15 August 1914, being confirmed in the rank in March 1915, and promoted to Lieutenant in April 1915.

Billinge was a founding member of No. 20 Squadron, in September 1915, flying as an observer/gunner in the front seat of a FE.2b. He scored his first victory there, on 13 February 1916. He was transferred back to Home Establishment in England for pilot training on 31 August 1916. His first posting as a pilot was to No. 32 Squadron, on 24 November 1916, to fly a DH 2. For his next two kills, of two-seater observation planes, he set his opponents on fire, on 23 and 27 January 1917. He was promoted to Flight Commander on 12 March 1917, and served in that capacity until 1 June 1917. He was then withdrawn from combat until he was assigned to No. 56 Squadron on 16 February 1918. Once again a Flight Commander, flying a Royal Aircraft Factory SE.5a, he drove down another observation plane on 19 February, and an Albatros D.V on 22 March 1918.

Billinge was promoted to captain in the 3rd Manchesters on 1 July 1921, with seniority from 31 March 1919.

Honours and awards
Distinguished Flying Cross
Captain Frank Billinge (Manchester Regiment).
A gallant officer who displays determination and judgment. When on a night reconnaissance his engine suddenly failed and he was compelled to head for home. At this moment he was attacked by an enemy aeroplane. Owing to engine trouble he was forced to avoid an engagement, and only escaped by the exercise of marked skill and resource. With great difficulty he managed to cross our trenches at a height of 200 feet, crashing into the reserve trenches behind. Although considerably shaken and bruised he and his observer proceeded to the nearest signal station and sent in their reconnaissance report.

Personal life
In August 1919 Billinge married Millicent Constance Grosvenor, daughter of Lord Henry George Grosvenor and Dora Mina Erskine-Wemyss. He died on 28 September 1928.

Q: Convert the event data according to some config data I have an array of JSON, config  data.
var config =  [ [{'state': 'step1'}],
                [{'state': 'step2'}] ,
                [{'state': 'step3'}]
              ];

In config, data are in ordered form.
I also have a JSON, Events data, which has these state but they are not in sequential order. I want to convert below Events data based on config.
Events: [
           { Status: 'rendered',  State: 'step2' },
           { Status: 'rendered',  State: 'step3' },
           { Status: 'rendered',  State: 'step1' } ,
           { Status: 'completed', State: 'step3'}
       ],

Also, last step of config will have two entry and for that rendered state should come before completed.
Result that I am expecting is :
Events: [
            { Status: 'rendered',  State: 'step1' },
            { Status: 'rendered',  State: 'step2' },
            { Status: 'rendered',  State: 'step3' } ,
            { Status: 'completed', State: 'step3' }
        ]

PS : I don't have any working/error prone code for this as of now. Basically  I am not being able to think how to incorporate config for making changes in Events.
Thanks

A: Transform config into an array of strings, and then use .sort while comparing the difference in indexOf of the States property in that array:

var config =  [ [{'state': 'step1'}],
        [{'state': 'step2'}] ,
        [{'state': 'step3'}]
      ];
const Events = [
   { Status: 'rendered',  State: 'step2' },
   { Status: 'rendered',  State: 'step3' },
   { Status: 'rendered',  State: 'step1' } ,
   { Status: 'completed', State: 'step3'}
];

const eventOrders = config.map(([{ state }]) => state);
Events.sort((a, b) => (
  eventOrders.indexOf(a.State) - eventOrders.indexOf(b.State)
  || Events.indexOf(a) - Events.indexOf(b)
));
console.log(Events);

A: You can do that in following steps

*

*First convert array from config like ['step1','step2','step3']

*Use sort() on events

*Then sort the objects in events bases on indexOf() State property of item in the above array.

var config =  [ [{'state': 'step1'}],
                [{'state': 'step2'}] ,
                [{'state': 'step3'}]
              ];

let states = config.map(x => x[0].state);
const events = [
           { Status: 'rendered',  State: 'step2' },
           { Status: 'rendered',  State: 'step3' },
           { Status: 'rendered',  State: 'step1' } ,
           { Status: 'completed', State: 'step3'}
       ]
 const res = events.sort((a,b) => states.indexOf(a.State) - states.indexOf(b.State));
 console.log(res);

A: It works for me hope it helps you.
function arrangeOrder(arrNeedToArrange, accToArrange, keyOfarrNeedsToArrange, keyOfArrAccToArange) {
let arrangedArr = [];
accToArrange.map((val) => {
    let res = arrNeedToArrange.filter(obj => { return obj[keyOfarrNeedsToArrange] == val[0][keyOfArrAccToArange] });
    res.map(r => arrangedArr.push(r))
})
 return arrangedArr;
}

function setAtLastToObj(arr, key, val) {
  let lastObj = {};
  arr = arr.filter((obj) => {
    if (obj[key] == val) {
        lastObj = obj;
    }
    return obj[key] != val
 });
 arr.push(lastObj);
 return arr;
}

 let arr = arrangeOrder(Events, config, 'State', 'state');
 arr = setAtLastToObj(arr, 'Status', 'completed');

A:
Added the logic to keep rendered before completed if State are same.

var config =  [
    [{'state': 'step1'}],
    [{'state': 'step2'}],
    [{'state': 'step3'}]
];

const Events = [
    { Status: 'rendered',  State: 'step2' },
    { Status: 'completed',  State: 'step3' },
    { Status: 'rendered',  State: 'step1' } ,
    { Status: 'rendered', State: 'step3'}
];

const eventOrders = config.map( ([{state}]) => state);

Events.sort((a, b) => {
    let result = eventOrders.indexOf(a.State) - eventOrders.indexOf(b.State);
    if(result == 0){
        if(a.Status=='rendered' && b.Status=='completed') return -1;
        if(b.Status=='rendered' && a.Status=='completed') return 1;
        return 0;
    }
    return result;
});

console.log(Events);

Senate Democrats call upon McConnell for fair, 'real' impeachment trial
by: Morgan Wright
WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) — The Senate trial against President Donald Trump is beginning to take shape, even before the House officially sends over the articles of impeachment.
Democrats are calling for a "real trial" with witness testimony, but Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Kentucky, said he has the votes needed to move the process along and follow the precedent set by former President Bill Clinton's impeachment trial.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-California, said she plans to send the two articles of impeachment to the Senate soon, but did not specifically say when.
"I'll send them over when I'm ready, and that will probably be soon," Pelosi said.
In a letter sent to House Democrats, Pelosi told her colleagues she's prepared to send them over and appoint managers for the Senate's impeachment trial.
"As I said right from the start, we need to see the arena in which we are sending our managers, is that too much to ask?" Pelosi said.
The delayed delivery has allowed both House and Senate Democrats to urge McConnell to outline a fair trial, which includes witness testimony.
"My gut tells me we'll be starting this trial rather soon," Senator Bob Casey, D-Pennsylvania, said.
Casey said he's preparing for the trial, but still continues his push for witnesses to come forward.
"All we're saying is if you're going to have a fair trial, you ought to have witnesses, it's not a radical idea," Casey said.
Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, D-New York, agrees, saying it's what the Founding Fathers intended.
"We should have the facts so that we can do our constitutional duty," Gillibrand said.
Despite Democrats push for witnesses, McConnell said he has the votes to proceed with the first phase of the impeachment trial.
"There will be no haggling with the House over Senate procedure," McConnell said. "We will not cede our authority to try this impeachment. The House Democrats' turn is over."
Congressman Tom Reed, R-New York, said it's past time for the impeachment proceedings to conclude.
"The speaker should have sent this over to the Senate weeks ago to get this behind us," Reed said.

Home Jesus Study Finds Prayer Reduces Coronary Illness Of Patients
Study Finds Prayer Reduces Coronary Illness Of Patients
By James Bishop| Prayer is something that is essential to a Christian's relationship with God. Far from being an isolated religious practice, prayer has been scientifically to improve a person's health.
A study published in PubMed and the Archives of Internal Medicine, 1999, found that subjects who were prayed for had some remarkable results. The study, the research team explains, was a "Randomized, controlled, double-blind, prospective, parallel-group trial" conducted in a "Private, university-associated hospital" setting (p. 2273).
The researchers had a sample size of 1013 consecutive patients who were newly admitted to the coronary care unit (CCU). These patients were randomized into two groups. One group received remote and intercessory prayer (prayer group = 484) whereas the other one did not (usual care group = 529). The first names of the patients in the prayer group were given to a team of outside intercessors who prayed for them daily for four weeks. Patients were generally older with their mean age being 66 (p. 2274).
Patients, however, were unaware that they were being prayed for, and the intercessors did not know and never met the patients. The intercessors were from a "variety of Christian traditions" which included Roman Catholic, non-denominational and Episcopalian (p. 2274). Intercessors had to affirm belief in God and "that he is personal and is concerned with individual lives" (p. 2274).
The intercessors also believe that God listens to prayers; they were also divided into five groups of 15 with each group designated a leader. The teams were randomized and members did not know each other. The study's objective, the research team explains, is to "determine whether remote, intercessory prayer for hospitalized, cardiac patients will reduce overall adverse events and length of stay."
Prayer group demonstrated a noticeable improvement compared to the usual care group (p. 2276).
The team also notes that "Interest in alternative or complementary medicine is growing rapidly in this country [America]" (p. 2277). They explain that:
"People who believe in God and pray during illness have been reported to have better health outcomes than people who do not" (p. 2278) and especially in relation to stress.
Findings proved interesting as "Remote, intercessory prayer was associated with lower CCU course scores… using the MAHI-CCU scoring system, we found that supplementary, remote, blinded, intercessory prayer produced a measurable improvement in the medical outcomes of critically ill patients" (p. 2278).
"This result suggests that prayer may be an effective adjunct to standard medical care."

Q: Why would there be some open set which would contain $A$ AND be a member of $T\text{\\}K$? I am stuck understanding a proof of a lemma.
Here's the lemma: The closure of $A$, $\overline{A}$, is the set
$$\overline{A}:=\{x\in T: U\cap A\neq \emptyset \text{for every open set U that contains x}=\{x\in T: \text{ every (open) neighbourhood of x intersects A}\}$$
Proof:
Suppose that $x\in\overline{A}$. If there is an open set $U$ such taht $x\in U$ and $U\cap A = \emptyset$, then $A\subset T\text{\\}U$. It would follow that $\overline{A}\subset T\text{\\}U$, but that is impossible as $x\in \overline{A}\cap U$ and so $\overline{A}\cap U \neq \emptyset$.
Suppose that $U\cap A \neq \emptyset$ for every open set that contains $x$, but $x\notin \overline{A}$. then $x\notin K$ for some closed set that contains $A$. So $x\in T\text{\\}K$, which is open:
And here is the part I don't understand

in particular there exists an open set $U$ that contains $A$
that is a subset of $T\text{\\}K$, i.e. that is disjoint from $K$. But $K$ contains $A$, so $U\cap A=\emptyset$, a contradiction.

Why would there be some open set which would contain $A$ AND be a member of $T\text{\\}K$?

A: It should be:

in particular there exists an open set $U$ that contains $x$
that is a subset of $T\text{\\}K$, i.e. that is disjoint from $K$. But $K$ contains $A$, so $U\cap A=\emptyset$, a contradiction. Does it clarify?

A: Suppose that $x \notin \overline{A} = \bigcap \{K\mid K \text{ closed }, A \subseteq K\}$, so it follows there exists some closed $K$ with $A \subseteq K$ such that $x \notin K$, this is what your proof also says. It follows from the definition of $\overline{A}$ as that intersection.
Then define $U=X\setminus K$. Then $U$ is open as $K$ is closed (!) and $x \in U$ because $x \notin K$. And $$ A \cap U \subseteq K \cap U = K \cap (X\setminus K) = \emptyset$$ so $U$ is an open neighbourhood of $x$ that is disjoint from $A$, which gives the contradiction..


Broadband Internet access is now nearly universal, with rural areas closing the gap with metropolitan areas, according to a new report from comScore Inc., an Internet audience measurement company. The study found that nationwide, 89 percent of Internet households now go online via a broadband connection. "Across the country, we have witnessed growth in broadband adoption, driven by greater price competition and increased consumer demand, as bandwidth intense activities such as video streaming and peer to peer sharing continue to grow," said Brian Jurutka, VP of telecommunications at comScore. "With low speed DSL priced at about the same level as dial up in many areas, there is little incentive for households to remain on dial up," he pointed out.
92 percent of Internet homes in metropolitan areas with a population of 50,000 or more are on broadband. This is up from 87 percent a year ago and 81 percent two years ago.
83 percent of Internet homes in areas with populations of 10,000 to 50,000 are on broadband. This is an increase from 76 percent a year ago.
75 percent of rural area Internet homes are on broadband, which represents and increase from 66 percent a year ago.
New York has the greatest broadband penetration at 96 percent.
Chicago is second at 92 percent.
Philadelphia and San Francisco/Oakland/San Jose have 89 percent each.
Los Angeles is at 87 percent.
Levels of penetration have taken on a new interest, noted the comScore analysts, because rural broadband penetration was part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act passed earlier this year. The Recovery Act provided $7.2 billion to the Commerce Department's National Telecommunications and Information Administration and the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Rural Utilities Service, to accelerate deployment in areas without broadband. A national broadband plan is due to go before Congress in February.

Liechtenstein Castle () is a privately owned castle near Maria Enzersdorf in Lower Austria, bordering Vienna. It is on the edge of the Wienerwald (Vienna Woods). The castle, originally built during the 12th century, was destroyed by the Ottomans in the siege of Vienna in 1529, and again in the Battle of Vienna in 1683, and it remained in ruins until 1884, when it was rebuilt with the help of architect Carl Gangolf Kayser.

Liechtenstein (German for "bright stone") Castle is the place of origin of the House of Liechtenstein, the ruling family of the Principality of Liechtenstein. The family owned the castle from at least 1140 until the 13th century, and again from 1808 to the present.

Today, the castle hosts the Nestroy Theatre Festival, which is held annually during the summer months. The 1969 film A Walk with Love and Death, the 1971 film The Vampire Happening, the 1979 film The Fifth Musketeer, and the 1993 film The Three Musketeers featured shots of the castle.

From the front of the choir: What songs do atheists sing?
I've been asked to create a choir specially for an inter-faith event.
There will be contributors from Islam, Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism and more. Plenty of songs to choose from. But what about atheists? Will they be represented, and what songs do they sing?
I'm not religious at all. I suppose that makes me an atheist.
But not a card-carrying atheist like Richard Dawkins. His promotion of his point of view is almost like a religion, yet it doesn't – in his opinion – rely on any beliefs, just scientific theories and proofs.
In his view there is no faith involved. In fact he thinks that faith − belief that is not based on evidence − is one of the world's great evils. So there is no place for atheists at an inter-faith event.
There will be humanists though (Richard Dawkins is the Vice President of the British Humanist Association). I guess their faith is a belief in human beings and humanity based on the evidence of how humans behave towards each other.
But what songs do they sing?
I've written before about the fact that (apart from birthday parties and football matches) people most commonly sing together at religious events – see Is community singing dead? – weddings, Christmas, Passover, etc., even if they're not particularly religious.
In common with many non-religious people I grew up singing church hymns at school and in the cub scouts. I've grown to love songs from many different spiritual traditions (see The Devil doesn't always have the best songs) and one of my more popular workshops is called Sacred Songs to Soothe the Soul. In fact, the notion of a 'choir' is so associated with religious singing that I've often been asked Is all choral music religious?
I have collected songs from many different spiritual traditions over the years. Many of them have gorgeous melodies and harmonies which stir the soul (or whatever it is you believe in).
It's inevitable that spiritual communities with their rituals, shared values, sense of community and ceremonies have built up repertoires of songs over time. But what of atheists? Do they have a 'community'? What songs do they sing?
