After reading Brent's and David's posts on parsing JSON in Swift, I really wanted to write this post. However, we've been very busy with writing a book on Functional Programming in Swift, and I wanted to finish some other things first, so it took a while to come up with it. The full code accompanying this post is on GitHub.
func array(input: [String:AnyObject], key: String) ->  [AnyObject]?
func string(input: [String:AnyObject], key: String) -> String?
func int(input: [NSObject:AnyObject], key: String) -> Int?
Instead, we can define the >>= operator, which takes an optional value, and applies a function only if the optional is not nil. It makes use of the flatten function, which flattens a nested optional into a single one.
So let's look at the definition of the <*> operator. It combines two optional values: as the left operand, it takes a function, and the right operand a parameter to that function. It checks if both operands are non-nil, and then just applies the function.
We get a function of type (Bool -> NSURL -> Blog)?. And if we continue doing this, we end up with an optional Blog? value.
I hope you can now understand how all the pieces fit together. By creating a few helper functions and operators, we can make strongly-typed JSON parsing really easy. Instead of optional, we could have also used a different type that would include errors, but that's a topic for a different blog post.
In our book, we'll be writing in much more detail about these kinds of things (and other really cool stuff). If you're interested, you can already get early access today: Functional Programming in Swift.


The above post was split from Freeware/open source thing like InDesign? (a January 2008 thread).
Sonja, it's a little hard for me to understand how your link to the 2007 thread helps now. The issue for Rob was settled long ago, as he did bring his ashcan of Misspent Youth to GenCon. Can you state what you had in mind?


It encourages the administrator to understand what number of visitors went by the properties, what was the moment spent by every visitor inside, despite whether they are still inside the facilities or otherwise, and various other such sights. Schools, medical professional's centers, shopping centers, air terminals, railroad stations as well as different places have various visitors each day. It is a simple focus for anxiety based oppressors, mafia as well as comparable hostile to social components. Visitor management arrangements will certainly examine every one of the basic population going back and forth and also shop biometric refined aspects of them in the database for future referral.
A Biometric visitor-management-framework because of face recommendation is evaluated the front counter or a few other area. The substance of the general populace most likely to the facility is caught by the camera as well as software. In case the visitor has actually passed the work environment out of the blue, he is enlisted into the data source. On the off chance that he has actually gone too previously, his sights are identified in the data source; he is permitted get to on the occasion that he is not a boycotted visitor. A visitor ID card is made in view of the verification done by the framework administrator. The ID is done away with in the structure for future reference.
The supporters of common flexibilities contradict the use of face recommendation visitor-management arrangements. They compete that the put away data could be abused. Furthermore, it is a hit to the protection of an individual and For more details about visitor management system visit here. People might not wish their points of interest to be saved by pariahs. The done away with data can be swiped by fraudulences as well as abused. This is consistent with some level. Wholesale fraudulence is reliability with a face acknowledgment visitor management framework and check out right here to understand about it services.
However, it benefits trading off protection for protection. Biometrics has advanced as a trustworthy method of protection. Presenting a visitor-management-framework will certainly make it less likely to fear monger assaults. Any type of suspicious individual could be blocked flow. A private having an earlier record of unfortunate habits can be refuted get to. Existing day age has actually disturbed everything, even wrongdoing! Radicals utilize innovatively driven method to promote their motivation. A face acknowledgment visitor management structure is the need of the day.
The issue of defense is not really completely forgotten. A person's personal endeavors may be meddled with; embarrassing data regarding the specific may be shared or his personality may be made use of for private enhancements. Federal government is thinking of the security issues in biometrics. Universal laws for the protection of specific information have actually been enclosed. Organizations and associations using visitor management structures take most severe care to not share the biometric data of people without assent. Those located ignoring the security arrangements connected with visitor-management plans go through ruthless disciplines.

Mountain Valley MD Secures Distribution Rights for New Agricultural Plant Stimulant
VANCOUVER, BC, Aug. 7, 2020 /CNW/ - Mountain Valley MD Holdings Inc. (the "Company" or "MVMD") (CSE: MVMD) (FRA: 20MP) is pleased to announce it has secured a supply and license agreement (the "Agreement") with Agroresults Inc. ("AR"), a private Canadian corporation, to sell and distribute AR's Nano Max 1000 plant stimulant technology within a unique formula under the Company's CannaBloom™ brand ("CannaBloom™"). CannaBloom™ is 100 percent organic and applied to agricultural crops to increase plant yields by activating the plants' "anti-stress defence mechanisms" at the cellular level, without the actual stress factor. Treated plants grow deeper roots and open up their foliage to optimize the effect of photosynthesis, thus increasing growth hormones, plant efficiency for water use and nutrients, and increasing overall resistance to diseases and stressed climate conditions.
"Our internal testing of CannaBloom™ over the past several quarters in Canada and South America has seen yield increases on a variety of crops consistently of 20% and in certain cases by as much as 40% through this easily applied plant stimulant," stated Dennis Hancock, President and CEO of Mountain Valley MD Inc. "As we pursue leading-edge technologies across the health and wellness space, we believe securing this deal for CannaBloom™ offers a very promising diversified vertical for Mountain Valley MD by inserting us directly in the food supply chain on a global scale."
In addition to the Company's internal field tests, AR has tested the plant stimulant technology across all major agricultural crops and has conducted over 200 global field trials to validate its effectiveness. CannaBloom™ is delivered in a liquid concentrate form that gets mixed with water at the point of application and then applied via sprayer to the plant at each of the germination, vegetative and reproductive stages of a plant's lifecycle. The product concentrate formulations scale from small home application spray bottles through to large commercial farming tank sprayers.
Mountain Valley MD has filed for the trademark protection of CannaBloom™: SMR017 Serial number 88957408 and has already received organic certification of CannaBloom™ through the Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI). OMRI is a non-profit organization that provides an independent review of products, such as fertilizers, pest controls, livestock health care products, and numerous other inputs that are intended for use in certified organic production and processing. OMRI reviews products against organic standards and once approved, acceptable products appear on the OMRI Products Lists© on their company website at omri.org.
The Company believes CannaBloom™ presents a significant opportunity given the dramatically changing global agricultural landscape, where population growth is driving need for more agricultural output while also limiting available farmlands due to urban sprawl. The World Bank* projects climate instability to dramatically impact food production and yields globally by 2050, placing more emphasis on the need for yield increases and overall plant resistance. Additionally, Research Gate** has documented the impact of increasing soil degradation and fertilizer efficiency due to chemical-heavy processes and deforestation – estimating a $400B per year loss in soil and nutrients.
"For Mountain Valley MD to authentically pursue the health and wellness industry with the underlying purpose of helping people live their best life, we knew this opportunity to dramatically impact the healthy organic food supply would be a relevant diversification for the Company," continued Hancock. "Leveraging science to help eliminate harmful pesticides and chemicals often associated with agricultural practices is very aligned with our mission."
Pursuant to the Agreement, AR will manufacture all of the CannaBloom™ products to the specifications outlined by the Company across a variety of agricultural crops for global distribution, including providing the Nano Max 1000 technology exclusively for a unique organic CannaBloom™ formulation for hemp and cannabis crops. The Company is currently working with AR on the necessary product registration steps to prioritize key focus markets. Once registered in each jurisdiction, the Company will be able to commence sales and marketing activities in eligible territories.
The Company also agreed to issue 250,000 common shares to an arm's length third party as finder fees in connection with the Agreement, which will be subject to a statutory four month hold period.

Certificats de sécurité ou de culpabilité?
The purpose of this module is to offer an historical framework of immigration and security measures. While Canada has worked hard to construct an image of itself as an open and inclusive multi-cultural society, the history of Canadian colonialism, slavery, and immigration shows how racism has shaped this country. Is Canada really as inclusive as it claims? Is the current anti-terrorism legislation simply a product of a post 9/11 world? Or is there a larger history framing all of this?
The purpose of this module is to offer an overview of the concept of racial profiling and how it relates to current immigration and national security policies in Canada.
The purpose of this module is to offer an overview of the concept of due process of law, and to demonstrate how this fundamental legal principle has been ignored in both the specific case of security certificates, as well as in immigration practices more generally. Specific examples of detention and deportation will illustrate the violation of due process. While Canada claims to be a country built on fundamental respect for the rights of all people, there is reason to believe that these rights are protected only for some people, some of the time. Does Canada always respect the due process of the law? And if not, what can we learn from the cases in which due process is ignored? What are the alternatives to these contraventions of the law?


Interpreting star test OF versus IF?
I've owned an Espirit 120 refractor since mid-2016, about a year after I purchased it I decided to perform a series of Roddier tests to evaluate the optics.
One immediate finding was the apparent sensitivity of Roddier to seeing conditions, on two separate nights the software reported (in green light) a P-to-V of lambda 3.3 and lambda 4.4, strehls were reported up to 0.924. So, I concluded the lens was diffraction limited but results weren't reproducible. I've attached below the outside focus OF and inside focus IF images taken during one Roddier test. Of course I was hoping to see smooth, nearly identical images. But, there's a small central zone and a fainter ring zone at about half radius.
Given the lack of reproducible results, I am wondering if anyone with more experience in interpreting star tests could comment on the probable effect of these imperfections? Visually, the scope performs fairly well on Jupiter under average sky conditions here which is my acid test for quality, it reveals details that are marginally ahead of my 4 inchers. Maybe I'm expecting too much from a 4.7 inch aperture, however Espirits generally receive rave reviews so this could be a mediocre example of the line.
Edited by Loren Toole, 15 April 2019 - 10:19 PM.
First of all, have you applied exactly the same number of defocus waves when taking IF and OF images?
In order to average the effect of seeing and obtain more consistent results, you should target a star at zenith.
Take about 1min video then stack the frames using autostakkert (one align point would do).
There are clearly 2 zones,but otherwise IF and OF look very similar, hence the 0.92 result. What is the dominant aberration according to your Roddier test?
Edited by TonyStar, 15 April 2019 - 11:10 PM.
These dont look bad. The outer ring zone is weak. The center zone is small -- light from this small zone will be spread into a 5 to 10 arcsecond halo which you will never notice. More importantly, the edge looks crisp in both -- theres no turn edge.
However, for visual star testing, for judging low-order spherical and astigmatism, etc., you would want images much closer to focus. Images showing 5 rings or less would be much better for visual estimation. I like images at around 2 or 3 rings to see what is going on.
For the Roddier test, I was careful to match pixels to within a couple of the recommended defocus radius (this was more difficult than it sounds in my typical seeing) and of course I used a star near zenith. AS was used for the OF, IF images shown in my first post.
I also exported the Zernike data to OpenFringe because the surface profile plot is more meaningful to me, and I received the report below.... note the dominant error is 2nd order astigmatism, and strehl is now reported as 0.97. Given the spread of values between Roddier and OpenFringe, is there any likely consistency here?
One way to reduce these effects is to let the star trail on the detector a bit, and then align and stack the frames. That helps to average out dust spots, etc. It also helps average out the seeing. I've generally done that with images for Roddier. The Roddier software is trying to extract a lot of information from tiny brightness variations in the images, so dust spots, etc. will be bad news.
Do you have the surface map output by Roddier? I must admit I haven't used it for a while, but it used to output a surface map.
I am not sure why Roddier and Open Fringe would disagree. They are both working from the same Zernikes? Maybe there is a scaling issue somewhere. Software for mirrors often has a factor of 2 floating around somewhere due to the difference between "surface errors" and "wavefront errors."
Edited by ngc7319_20, 16 April 2019 - 08:55 AM.
0.92 and 0.97 sound more different than they are. Depending on the precise technique used, they may well be withing the measurement error of whatever true value. The way I understood it, you based the analysis on real star images. I am almost certain that the spread that you see under these circumstances simply reflects measurement error. Sometimes it is mentioned that even under lab conditions, you could get errors of 0.02 to 0.03 requiring the same lens to be tested several times to arrive at a robust average.
Anyway - in this quality range really a theoretical/academic issue.
Thanks for all of the useful comments, agreed there are un-reproducible measurement errors, the range of strehls reported by Roddier and OpenFringe maybe reconciled as a result. I hadn't considered the effect of dust on the camera chip, I was aware of them in the images. I may try another imaging run after carefully removing all dust.
Roddier only outputs an interferogram, not surface profile. See that image below...it does pickup the central zone but other features seem to be too subdued to draw conclusions from this specific report.
Edited by Loren Toole, 16 April 2019 - 12:52 PM.
You should be able to output surface profile as well as a simulated foucaultgram. This is an example with Roddier 3.0.

Living Advent Calendar 5-7 Dec – Robbie, Blues & Wacky Festive Experience
8th December 2022 /in Entertainment and Leisure, Home - Other Stories, Living Advent Calendar 2022, Music, News/by Editor
5 December – Robbing Williams Rocks Hotel du Vin
Hotel Du Vin hosted the fifth evening of the Living Advent Calendar, welcoming singer Marc Hockley (also known as stage names 'Robbing Williams' or 'Mike All Buble') to entertain the crowds in their courtyard. The Robbie Williams/Michael Bublé tribute act opened his lively set with a Robbie classic, Go Gentle, as the audience feasted on Christmas pudding and mulled wine.
Marc played a number of Robbie Williams and Michael Bublé hits, including Somethin' Stupid, Rock DJ, Angels, and Santa Claus is Coming to Town. Despite freezing temperatures, he kept the crowd warm with his energetic performance and fun sense of humour, joking with the spectators between (and even during) songs. Before ending his set with 'Holly Jolly Christmas', Marc said, "I've been here a few times over the years when Richard has asked me to help out, and it's always a pleasure."
LAC organiser Richard Rodway said, "I have likened this year's line up to a greatest hits, a Living Advent greatest hits if you will, to welcome back the event. Tonight is no exception. The very first Living Advent performance that I presided over in 2014, [I was] delighted that he came and performed in Falaise Square that evening, and I'm delighted that he has agreed to return this evening."
Day 5 of the Living Advent Calendar was in aid of the Henley Talking Newspaper, which provides a free audio version of local news every week. Richard Hodgkin, Chairman of the Henley Talking Newspaper, said, "It goes out by memory stick to a lot of people who are mostly visually impaired, but not only. We do also send it to people who can't read for any other reason such as a stroke. We are independent, we do raise our own money, so please give us as much as you can. Thank you very much — we need it."
6 December – Pig Foot Band Let The Good Times Roll
The Pig Foot Band were the surprise act for night six of the Living Advent Calendar at The Angel pub where the audience were treated to a Copas turkey bap and warm Winter Pimms.
The Blues band who have previously performed with Ma Bessie. Andy Wilkin on percussion said, "Ma Bessie she's in Jamaica refreshing herself in the sunshine whilst we're here in the freezing cold. She usually grabs people to come up and dance. I can't because I'm sitting down!"
The audience enjoyed hits including Bring it on Home to me, Let the Good Times Roll and Call it Stormy Monday and finishing with a blues version of Bob Marley's Redemption Song.
The evening's raffle was in aid of Riverside Counselling and a Hobbs 12 seater boat hire for the day was auctioned off raising another £350 for the charity.
Richard Rodway said afterwards, "How difficult to play in these cold conditions, thank you so much."
7 December – Wacky Mix of Humour & Costumes
The seventh night of the Living Advent Calendar was packed full of music and jokes as Yoko Mainwaring Experience took to the stage in The Catherine Wheel, a new venue for this year. LAC organiser, Richard Rodway, said "The band are habitual Living Advent favourites and royalty." The large crowd, described as a 'posh pit' were full of good cheer and enjoyed free festive pizza while they sang, danced and laughed despite the extremely cold evening. Richard advised, "If you whoop and applaud it warms you up." Singing Christmas classics like Santa Claus is Coming to Town, Merry Christmas Everyone, Silent Night and crazier songs like Dominic the Donkey, the band entertained with a wacky mix of humour and costumes. They even got away with a cheeky, political, festive joke. "Why isn't Teresa May in charge of the Henley Living Advent Calendar? She couldn't run a stable government."
The evening's raffle was in support of Headway Thames Valley, a local brain injury charity.
Tonight's venue is Holy Trinity Church and it starts at 6.15pm with a raffle in aid of Regatta for Disabled.

At any veterinary clinic, each procedure will vary, ranging on the age of the pet and the procedure itself. Dr. Sartin recommends pre-anesthetic blood work prior to any surgical event to minimize the risks of surgery. Call Sartin Animal Care Clinic if your pet is facing a surgical procedure to ask our caring veterinarian of the risks involved of the particular procedure.
On average, each year for a dog or cat is the equivalent of seven years for a human being. At Sartin Animal Care Clinic, Dr. Sartin recommends yearly exams prior to the age of seven, and more frequently thereafter. Please call Sartin Animal Care Clinic to set up your pets' examination protocol.
Just like people, pets require frequent dental care. Without regular brushing and polishing, your pet can face tooth decay and organ damage to their liver, kidneys and heart. Schedule a dental consultation with Dr. Ryan Sartin at our clinic for your pet.
Proper nutrition is one of the cornerstones of the health of any dog or cat. Dr. Ryan Sartin has many years of experience in prescribing the proper diet and proportions for pets, and he will bring this same compassion and experience to your pet. Have Dr. Sartin determine the proper food and amount for your pet by scheduling and appointment with Sartin Animal Care Clinic today.
How long should I wait if I notice a change in behavior in my pet?
A change in behavior in an animal can mean many different things, each which should be evaluated by a veterinarian. Behavior changes may indicate a painful condition, or even a disease state. If your dog or cat exhibits a change in their behavior, please call Sartin Animal Car Clinic to have your pet evaluated today.
If you observe visible parasites on your pet, you should separate them immediately from their human family members. Sartin Animal Care Clinic has the latest medications for external and internal parasites readily available for your pet. If you notice visible parasite on your pet, please isolate them, and call to schedule an appointment with Sartin Animal Care Clinic as soon as possible.
What if my pet has an after-hours emergency?
At Sartin Animal Care Clinic, we understand that not all pet issues occur during business hours. This is why we are proud to handle our own emergencies. If you pet has an emergency after-hours, please call our clinic at 501-362-5556. If you do not receive an immediate response, please call the Animal Emergency Clinic-Maumelle at 501-224-3784, or After Hours Animal Hospital-Sherwood at 866-955-0911.
At Sartin Animal Care Clinic, Dr. Ryan Sartin recommends all pets not considered for breeding purposes be spayed or neutered at approximately six months of age. These procedures are the equivalent of a human ovarian hysterectomy or a complete removal of the testes. Therefore, pain medication and pre-anesthetic blood work are recommended prior to these procedures. Please call Sartin Animal Care Clinic to schedule your pets spay or neuter today.
Heartworms are a parasite that is transmitted from an infected animal to another pet. Both dogs and cats can become infected by heartworms, therefore it is imperative that you make an appointment with Sartin Animal Care Clinic to have a proper preventative prescribed for your pet.
When is pain management recommended for pets?
Pets feel pain in much the same way as people feel painful conditions. Dr. Ryan Sartin strongly recommends pain preventative medication prior to any surgical procedure, as well as certain age-related conditions such as osteoarthritis. If you feel your pet may be in pain, please call Sartin Animal Care Clinic to schedule an appointment for your pet today.
What financing options does Sartin Animal Care Clinic offer?
At Sartin Animal Care Clinic, we understand that not all pet expenses have been budgeted. Therefore, we are pleased to offer Care Credit, which can often offset the initial expense of pet health care. Sartin Animal is pleased to also accept all major credit cards except American Express, cash, check, and low monthly payment plans via auto-draft on individual basis.


DECA, FBLA, HOSA, FCCLA, FFA… and the list goes on! That's a lot of acronyms. Each one has a special meaning to a specific group of students with a passion for different fields of study.
Marketing the Future: DECA is an association of marketing students that was founded in 1946. Their main focus is to prepare students for a future career in marketing, finance, or hospitality management.
Family Comes First: The Future Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) have a slightly different focus. These leaders are preparing students for a future in the family and consumer sciences. They were founded in 1945 and hold a focus in character development, creative as well as critical thinking, practical knowledge, and career preparation.
Paging Future Health Professionals: HOSA is the only organization with a 100% focus in healthcare, and it was founded in 1976. The main goal of HOSA is to teach students to deliver compassionate, quality healthcare for future generations through knowledge and leadership lessons.
Shaping the Future: For the students who are feeling like they want to be teachers, the Future Educators Association (FEA) is the CTSO for you. They were founded in 1937, and they work to foster the development of future educators to make the future of the educational system the best it can be.
Practically Perfect: For the students looking into vocational training, SkillsUSA is the CTSO for them. Founded in 1965, this CTSO teaches practical work skills to help America build a skilled workforce.
For the Next Mark Zuckerberg or Steve Jobs: TSA students are interested in mathematics, engineering, technology, and science. This is the organization that focuses strongly on those subjects to form knowledge into real world applications.
Fueling the Future: Their largest area of focus is on agriculture. These CTSOs are training students with a passion for agricultural sciences by allowing them the opportunity to learn at different levels in their educational careers.
FFA (Future Farmers of America) has a widely spread membership growing in urban cities and has decided to change their name to incorporate those individuals. Founded in 1928, this organization prepares students to face the challenge of feeding a growing population.
National Postsecondary Agricultural Student Organization (PAS), was created to aid students in agricultural careers while in their postsecondary education.
The National Young Farmer Education Association (NYFEA) was created to help people transition from individual farmers into large corporations.
Each of these Career and Technical Student Organizations are different, just as every individual's path to success is. All of the organizations achieve the same goal though, to create successful, empowered, student leaders. Prepare yourself, the future awaits you!

Psychoanalysis in the Light of Anthroposophy
In these five lectures, later published under the title Psychoanalysis and Spiritual Psychology, Steiner lays the foundations for a truly spiritual psychology. The first two lectures constitute a critical examination of the principles of Freud and Jung. The last three lectures begin with a description of the threefold structure of human consciousness (reflective or mirror consciousness, supra-consciousness, and sub-consciousness) and go on to outline a psychology that takes into account both the soul's hidden powers and the complex connections between psychological and organic, bodily processes.
These lectures were given in different locations and at widely different times, but are grouped together under one topic.

Release of survey findings on Hong Kong people's psychosocial health under the COVID-19 pandemic and attitudes towards vaccination
Researchers from the Department of Social Work and Social Administration at the University of Hong Kong (HKU), the Hong Kong Shue Yan University (HKSYU) and the Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU) jointly conducted an online survey in collaboration with the Hong Kong Society for Rehabilitation (HKSR) on Hong Kong citizens' psychosocial health and their attitudes toward COVID-19 vaccination. A total of 2,733 people were surveyed in late January. About one-third of the respondents are patients with chronic illness.
As individuals with chronic illness are likely to be on the priority list under the government's upcoming vaccination programme, the research team was able to reach out to those patients with the support of HKSR, and compared their responses with those without chronic illness.
According to the findings, a substantial portion of the respondents encountered psychosocial distress under the pandemic, some at moderate to severe levels. Moreover, a higher percentage of respondents with chronic illness reported feeling socially isolated. On the willingness to vaccinate, respondents in general are concerned about the efficacy of the vaccines and the likelihood of severe side-effects.
The research team will hold a press conference on Thursday (February 18) to release research findings and policy recommendations for preventing a potential public mental health crisis and promoting vaccination. A patient representative will attend to share experience.
Media representatives are cordially invited to attend the press conference. Details are as below:

Occam, I would think that Ayn Rand would choose to save the five, because like Adrian, she believes in inaction, and she hates it.

What are you talking about?!? Are you trying to say that the brakes could ONLY have failed due to human negligence?
Then how can brakes kill people but not guns? I mean, barring any human negligence, a gun would be responsible for killing someone too.
They both can. There are cases where people are killed due to a mechanical malfunction in a gun. There are cases where people are killed due to a mechanical malfunction in a brake system. There doesn't HAVE to be any human negligence involved. It's just that there usually is, (humans being more likely to f#[email protected] up than machines.)

Brakes were made by humans.
Brakes are maintained by humans.
Even if they didn't malfunction due to a problem with maintenance, they probably broke because they weren't made to last forever. At any rate, though, we're not going to play the who-gets-the-promised-land game, we're dealing with one person who has a choice to make - to kill 1 person or 5 people. Not a great choice, but I think we can all agree that the brakes don't make it.
The same goes for guns.
I'm not saying that making brakes that don't last forever is a crime, I'm saying that it's more culpable than anything the brakes could do.

OK, lets get back to the point here.
You guys are saying that Edward has to choose between killing one person or killing five people.
I'm saying that before Edward makes that choice he has to make another. Whether or not to get involved. If he answers no to that five die. If he answers yes to that then he has to decide between the one or the five. I don't believe that Edward should answer yes. To do so means he is appointing himself as the arbitrator of who lives and who dies. Nobody has that right.
He doesn't have that choice anymore. He is involved already. He was involved the moment he started driving the trolley. Even if he were to leap out of the trolley to escape any moral obligation for the situation, he is still responsbile for that trolley.
No one should have to decide who lives and who dies - but no one can prevent having to sometimes. **** happens.
Yes you can. By not deciding either way. C'est la vie.
You can't decide not to choose. That's just choosing to avoid responsibility.
Of course you can decide not to choose. In the USA you don't have to vote. If you don't you are... choosing not to choose!
Craven de Kere
Making the choice merely once removed. But to be fair, once removed seems to be the point for that line of reasoning.
Entirely the point. Let the responsibility lie with the trolley. Don't take it on yourself. May sound callous but, what better option is there.
"Better" is subjective. I think my way is better and you think yours is.
Because we don't share the fundamental criteria in the issue a dicussion on "better" can only go as far as stating said criteria. Then it's mostly sez mees.
Reply	Thu 26 Feb, 2004 12:07 am
Agreed. That was about the only point I actually wanted to express.
Oh well, onto the next topic...
dlowan
Sez you...
Adrian, this is not analogous to choosing not to vote, because people are never put in the position where they must. In this case, Edward (or whoever) has to make a choice. This would be the same as choosing to vote for the most popular candidate, because "he's going to win anyway" versus choosing for the one you think would do the best job.

@joefromchicago,
Back in 2004: you guys did not have twitter or a decent enough texting plan. Now all Edward has to do is text or tweet Superman about the out of control trolley.
In less then a nanosecond, all parties involved would be saved. Then Edward could buy everyone a round of ice cream cones from Emack and Bolio.
For updating this thread with the obvious answer I expect JoefromChicago now owes me a large sundae from Emack and Bolio as well. But a pint of Haagen Daaz or Starbucks ice cream would also work.
You're welcome everybody!

Edward is the driver of a trolley, whose brakes have just failed. On the track ahead of him are five people; the banks are so steep that they will not be able to get off the track in time. The track has a spur leading off to the right, and Edward can turn the trolley onto it. Unfortunately, there is one person on the right-hand track. Edward can turn the trolley, killing the one; or he can refrain from turning the trolley, killing the five.
Which way was the trolley intended to go?
He could turn it onto the track with just the one, but what if that one knew that the train wasn't supposed to drive there, and so it was safe for him to do a bit of work on the track?
I vote go for the route that was intended in the first place. If that kills five people rather than just one, it's unfortunate.
But if you turn to avoid someone who had not taken precautions and shown regard for their own safety at the expense of someone who has done this, it kind of goes against evolution...
Regardless of which way is chosen someone dies. But who is to blame? The driver was powerless to stop it, and his choice was between two evils, so to speak. Maybe the responsibility lay with the one who was supposed to keep the breaks in working order?
But if there were two tracks and time to change which one to go for, maybe there would be time for Edward to open the window and shout for the one guy to run over to the five and clear one of the tracks?
(These problems about "kill one or kill five" are difficult. How do we measure the worth of human lives? In numbers? "Kill the one, because that is less than five dead". That kind of thinking is centered around the greater good, and it certainly doesn't benefit the one. In that context five dead isn't much worse than one. What if the five were a gang of thieves, murderers and rapists, and the one was a hard working contributor to the community? How to decide? Save the one with the nicest shoes?)
@Cyracuz,
Cyracuz wrote:
Why would that matter?
Why should evolution be a consideration?
That's irrelevant. The question is whether Edward is blameworthy, not whether someone else might share in the blame.
Not an option.
Good questions. How would you answer them?

Il trattato di Berna firmato il 9 ottobre 1874 istituì l'Unione postale generale (nota oggi con il nome di Unione postale universale).
Il trattato, che deve il nome alla città svizzera di Berna dove venne firmato, fu il risultato di una conferenza
internazionale convocata dal governo svizzero il 15 settembre 1874 alla quale parteciparono i rappresentanti di
22 nazioni.
I piani per la conferenza erano stati redatti da Heinrich von Stephan Ufficiale postale tedesco.
Lo scopo del trattato fu quello di unificare i diversi servizi postali ed i relativi regolamenti in modo che la posta internazionale
potesse essere scambiata liberamente.

I firmatari furono:
Austria-Ungheria;
Belgio;
Danimarca;
Egitto;
Francia;
Impero tedesco;
Gran Bretagna;
 Grecia;
 Italia;

Q: Ao utilizar o helper view do Laravel que tipo de dado tá sendo retornado? Estou com dúvida ao comentar o método abaixo:
public function index()
{
    $posts = Post::orderBy('created_at', 'desc')->paginate(10);

    return view('painel.post.listar', compact('posts'));
}

Seria correto comentar desta forma:
/**
 * Retorna uma instância de View
 *
 * @return object
 */
public function index()
{
    $posts = Post::orderBy('created_at', 'desc')->paginate(10);

    return view('painel.post.listar', compact('posts'));
}

Ou o return seria View e na descrição ao invés de "Retorna uma instância de View" seria "Retorna um objeto"?

A: A descrição inicial esta perfeita ele retorna uma instancia da View sendo assim o return é uma View.
Note que a view nada mais é do que um objeto responsável por renderizar os htmls.
Note também que diretamente na documentaçao do laravel temos alguns exemplos de utilização e de criação da view como por exemplo os do trecho abaixo:
$view = View::make('greetings', $data);

Note que a view possui outros métodos próprios também como por exemplo o share que é responsável por compartilhar trechos de dentro de uma view como abaixo:
 View::share('name', 'Steve');

Se você reparar a própria criação da view no primeiro trecho demonstrado demonstra claramente que estamos criando um tipo de objeto View. veja em $view = View::make ....

A: Um padrão utilizado pelo laravel é assim:
/**
 * Return Instance of View.
 *
 * @return Illuminate\View\View
 */
public function index()
{
    $posts = Post::orderBy('created_at', 'desc')->paginate(10);

    return view('painel.post.listar', compact('posts'));
}

O helper view retorna a instância da classe Illuminate\View\View.

Asia | Japan
Okinawa's rethink
Jul 17th 1997 | NAHA, OKINAWA
IN OCTOBER 1995, tens of thousands of Okinawans turned out to demonstrate against the American military presence on their island. That demonstration, combined with the determination of Masahide Ota, Okinawa's governor, to see all American bases closed by 2015, convinced many outsiders that the American bases on Okinawa faced overwhelming local opposition. Not so. As tempers have cooled in Japan's southernmost outpost, so more and more locals have become convinced that the bases are still important to the island's economic future. Local newspaper polls have recently found that only 14-23% of residents actually want to see them closed.
Instead of focusing on the outright closure of the bases, many Okinawans seem to have adopted a more subtle strategy. This involves continuing to make life difficult for America's military bases on their doorstep, so as to extract a higher price for their continued presence. At the same time, officials in both Okinawa and Tokyo are working hard on new schemes that are designed to diversify the island's economy.
The problem is that, while America's military presence on Okinawa nowadays contributes only 7% to the prefecture's economy (down from 41% at the time Japan took back Okinawa in 1972), it counts for vastly more in the towns and villages surrounding the bases—especially in the poorer northern half of the island. Some communities in rural Okinawa have even started hinting that they would not mind having bases that are being relocated from elsewhere moved to their neighbourhood.
At 6%, unemployment on Okinawa is nearly twice the national average. After the prefectural government, America is one of Okinawa's biggest employers, providing good livelihoods for some 8,000 local inhabitants. The bases are also a major source of income for 28,000 landowners. While a small but vocal group of anti-war protesters, who have acquired tiny plots of one tsubo (3.3 square metres) or less, have been demanding that America vacate the land they own, that is the last thing that most local landlords want. Nearly half of them are retired, relying on the rent from the bases as their only source of income. If handed their land back, few could expect to receive anything like the average ¥11m ($95,000) per hectare they get annually from leasing their plots to the bases. Nor could they get the annual 5% increase in income that is guaranteed by the arrangement.
Landowners aside, the biggest fear for Okinawans generally is that, were the bases to go, so would the generous handouts that the government in Tokyo doles out as compensation for playing host to three out of four American bases in all of Japan. With little local manufacturing, a backward farming sector that still relies heavily on sugar cane and a tourist industry hobbled by sky-high air fares from the mainland and restricted flights elsewhere, the prefecture relies on subsidies from Tokyo for two-thirds of its income—some ¥430 billion a year. To that has to be added ¥4.7 trillion-worth of development aid that the central government has provided over the 25 years since reversion.
How to wean Okinawa's 1.3m residents—the most heavily subsidised people in Japan—off handouts? Not easy given the island's singular disinterest in entrepreneurial activity. But the prefectural government has not given up hope. Its latest wheeze, "Cosmopolitan City Okinawa", aims to make the island self-sufficient, while taking advantage of its cultural heritage and natural beauty.
Most of this is pie in the sky. But a few things make eminent sense. One plan involves lobbying the central government to deregulate airfares so that the local tourist industry can take off. (Just see what Hawaii has done since American air fares were deregulated.) Another proposal is to provide tax breaks for manufacturers who import components and then re-export the finished goods. Given such breaks, Taiwanese entrepreneurs say they would invest heavily in Okinawa, just so they could export "Made in Japan" products to the rest of the world.
Back in Tokyo, Mr Hashimoto's party and its coalition partners have roughed out an eight-point plan for Okinawa. The key element is to turn the prefecture into a free-trade zone under a "one country, two systems" formula that would offer Okinawa a more flexible tax and regulatory regime than mainland Japan. So far, however, the prime minister and his colleagues have failed to sway the finance ministry, which frowns on such panderings to the provinces. As Okinawans see it, Mr Hashimoto had better start banging some bureaucratic heads together and bring something more than the ¥5 billion offered so far. No one forgets that the first, and last, time the present emperor visited Okinawa, someone lobbed a Molotov cocktail at him—an act unimaginable elsewhere in Japan. Given their mounting frustrations, the normally easy-going natives of Okinawa could turn a good deal nastier than anyone thinks.

All out for three points
Chris Taylor has backed Rovers to bounce back from last weekend's disappointment and return to winning ways against Derby County this Saturday.
Rovers tripped up against Nottingham Forest last time out, but with a home match against the Rams coming up, the midfielder knows it is the ideal opportunity for three points to close the gap to the top six.
Taylor said: "We keep getting close to breaking into the play-off places and that was a bit of a step backwards, but if we can produce the kind of form we have been in prior to the Forest game then hopefully that will put us right back in the mix.
"We started the year very well up until now and the results are starting to settle down a bit.
"We are also getting to know each others game more now because it's easy to forget there are a lot of new players in this team this season.
"It has set up the match with Derby nicely – I think we need to go all out for the three points. It will be tough, but we want to keep up with the pack so it's definitely a game we want to win."
Tickets for Saturday's match are on open sale and will be available up to the 3.00pm kick-off.
Prices are from £19 for Adults, £12 Seniors and £7 Students. Book online today at www.onerovers.co.uk and collect your tickets from the Blackburn End collection point on the day of the game.


God's lovingkindness is evident everywhere we look, every time of the day. But so often we allow our circumstances to tell us otherwise. We go through situations where we don't "feel" His presence or His lovingkindness surrounding us and going with us, but that never changes the fact that it does.
Our vision of His love and work in our lives is so limited; we can't see beyond our own "world".
Because of His lovingkindness toward us all the day long, His song should be with us during the night. Not just the evening of the day, but when our circumstances hurl us into a time of darkness—a "night" so to speak.
We are in the midst of a "night" in this world today with wars, rumors of wars, terrorism, etc. But it is during this time, during the night, that His song remains a constant reminder of His love and great mercy toward us.
As we pray and seek His face during the day, during the night, in the good times and in the hard times, the evidence of His lovingkindness toward us will become remarkably visible and the song we sing to Him in the night will ring loud and clear.
Lord, teach me to be aware of Your lovingkindness in every area of my life, at all times, and in all things. As I fix my gaze on You, let your song be ever in my heart and my prayer continually offered to You, oh my God and King. Why You love me so, Lord, I shall never know, but I'm so thankful that You do for Your lovingkindness is greater than life itself! Amen and Amen!

Crackle Taps Dennis Quaid, Bryan Cranston for New Shows
Jerry Seinfeld returns to streaming network, and takes swipe at YouTube
By Michelle Castillo
As the line between digital and linear programming blurs, Crackle doesn't want to be seen just as a brand's online ad option. It also doesn't want to be just another video site.
"We have a giant garbage can called YouTube for all that user-generated content," joked Crackle's No. 1 star Jerry Seinfeld at the Sony network's first upfront presentation Tuesday in New York.
Ditching the digital-centric NewFronts, Crackle presented a slate of original programming backed by guarantees of reliable measurement.
"What it's really about is reaching new desirable audiences," Crackle's general manager and evp Eric Berger said.
Berger emphasized that audiences can expect premium content whenever they load its channel. From the sixth season of Seinfeld's Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, to Joe Dirt 2: Beautiful Loser—the first digital sequel of a major motion picture—six new shows were announced, including:
The Art of More, Crackle's first hour-long scripted drama starring Dennis Quaid—fresh from his was-it-or-wasn't-it a meltdown?—and Kate Bosworth launches later this year.
Half-hour thriller Chosen, which will be extended into an hour-long series.
Coming this fall, SuperMansion, created by Seth Green and the team at Stoopid Buddy Stoodios, known for their work on Robot Chicken. Emmy-winning actor Bryan Cranston will lend his voice to the project.
"For 10 years, we've made TV with Turner, and now we're excited to do it for Crackle," Green said.
To further emphasize that it's not just an online network, Crackle announced plans to revitalize its interface. With a new "always on" experience, powered by Adobe Primetime, scheduled content will start streaming as soon as the Crackle player launches—just like a TV show would be airing when a TV is turned on. Users can opt to restart the program, continue to watch or browse through a channel guide.
There are the traditional pre-roll, post-roll and sponsorship opportunities, but unlike broadcast and cable networks that generally only offer spots on shows, Crackle lets advertisers create native content, giving brands access to its production studio.
Programming will be measured by Nielsen's total audience measurement, which claims to be able to track viewers across screens. Crackle found a recent campaign with MillerCoors produced a 216 percent lift, with 100 percent viewability and 96 percent completion. Similarly, a Ford campaign created 175 percent brand lift, in addition to 100 percent viewability and 97 percent completion rate.

GM Replaces Cadillac Head de Nysschen
April 18, 2018 • by Staff
Stephen Carlisle, president of Cadillac
General Motors has replaced the head of its Cadillac division, naming Steve Carlisle to replace Johan de Nysschen, who is leaving the company immediately.
Carlisle steps into the role of Cadillac president and senior vice president with General Motors. Travis Hester is replacing Carlisle as president and managing director of GM Canada.
The move ends de Nysschen's nearly four-year effort to boost sales of GM's luxury brand. He had led Infiniti and prior to that Audi USA for eight years.
While he made a few splashy moves, such as moving Cadillac operations to New York City and introducing several new vehicles, de Nysschen was unable to grow Cadillac sales, which reached 156,440 in 2017. Cadillac sold 182,543 units in 2013 and 170,750 in 2014.
Under de Nyschenn's tenure, Cadillac introduced the CT6 full-size sedan and XT5 midsize SUV. In March, Cadillac announced it would introduce the 2019 XT4 compact SUV in the fall.

The Open Championship Predictions: The FRACAS Favorites and Value Plays at St. Andrews
Kyle Cunningham-Rhoads / Author
Our Open Championship Predictions: The Quick Hits
FRACAS Favorites: Rory McIlroy, Xander Schauffele, Justin Thomas.
Value Plays: Seamus Power, Keith Mitchell, Brian Harman.
Course Note: The 17th is the only hole with an expected double bogey or worse rate of more than 5%.
The 150th Open Championship – often referred to as the British Open – is hosted by perhaps the most iconic of golf courses.
The Old Course at St. Andrews in Scotland hosts the Open for the 30th time, and while the length and ball flights of golfers have evolved dramatically of late, the course at the home of golf remains nearly the same. It's not particularly long, but the main defense is wind and a course littered with pot bunkers and funky green complexes.
The Old Course is also an odd composition of holes. There are only two par 3s and two par 5s, so par-4 scoring is heightened and accounts for 77% of the scoring variance on the course.
What is perhaps most enlightening about the Old Course is the lack of scoring variance in general. There are simply not many holes where a player can card a big score. Only the long par-4 17th has an expected double bogey or worse rate of more than 5%. That means a lot of birdies, par and bogeys, and not many opportunities for players to distance themselves from the field.
We see some of this in the history of the course, where three of last nine Open Championships at St. Andrews have ended via playoff. It also makes it particularly difficult for golfers to storm back on the leaderboard. It takes four good rounds to be in contention. In 2015, no golfer finishing inside the top 20 had a round worse than 73 and only one golfer had a round better than 66 (Marc Leishman in the third round). While the course might not fit the "modern" game in terms of distance, it will require consistency across four days to win the Open Championship 2022.
As with most majors, the field is stronger at the top than at the bottom. The average FRACAS for the field is almost exactly PGA average, while the median is slightly above average at plus-0.30 strokes over PGA average.
In the chart below, we have the projected hole-by-hole scoring percentage (pars excluded) for the Old Course. Eagles are in orange, birdies are red, bogeys are black and double bogeys or worse are blue.
The FRACAS Picks
Our model picked Rory McIlroy, then the top player in the world by FRACAS, to win the U.S. Open. Not much has changed, as McIlroy still sits at the top of the FRACAS leaderboard and is once again our pick to become the Open champion.
He finished fifth at the U.S. Open and then started out on fire at the Travelers Championship before carding an eight on a par 4 in his third round and never recovered. If McIlroy's short clubs are on point this week, he should pick apart the Old Course.
Xander Schauffele is coming off back-to-back wins after a long drought of wins in PGA Tour cut events. He hasn't finished outside of the top 20 since the Masters and has been gaining more than a stroke per round on approach. At the U.S. Open, he didn't even crack our projected top 10, which is a testament to how hot he's been over the last month.
The last three major winners come in ranked third, fourth and fifth in our model, and all are still playing above their long term baseline right now. Of the three, Matt Fitzpatrick is the hottest, but Justin Thomas has the second best course fit among players in the top 20 of projected win percentage. Scottie Scheffler is still chugging along as one of the best players in the world. He may fly under the radar a bit this week despite being the top player in the Official World Golf Rankings.
The back half of the top 10 is filled with familiar names. Will Zalatoris, Cameron Smith and Shane Lowry are still playing well, while Jon Rahm and Patrick Cantlay are great golfers who aren't at the tippy top of their games at the moment.
Other names in the top 40 in our list include Louis Oosthuizen (1.6% chance of winning), Viktor Hovland (1.5%), Max Homa (1.4%), Harold Varner III (1%) and Tyrrell Hatton (1%).
In case you're wondering, Tiger Woods is 104th on this list with about a 0.1% chance of winning and Collin Morikawa, who won the Claret Jug in 2021, is 13th at 1.9%.
The FRACAS Value Plays
With the way the Old Course plays, it's tough to find much value at the top of the board at the Open Championship. A lack of scoring variance means there are fewer opportunities for these top golfers to really separate themselves from the pack. Despite the strength of field at the top, our model gives 32 golfers a greater than 1.0% chance of winning. This spread of win percentages makes it tough to find any value in golfers listed shorter than 20-1.
Moving down the board, one of our highest value plays is Irishman Seamus Power. Power is 17th in our model with a 1.56% chance of winning, or about 64-1. The odds market is hovering around 79-1, which is some decent value. Power is a great course fit as one of the best par-4 scorers in the field. His projected birdie rate on par 4s is 3.18% better than the field expected rate. He's also been excellent in major championships this year with finishes of 27th at the Masters, ninth at the PGA Championship and 12th at the U.S. Open.
Further down the board, we start to see some value in both outright wins and tournament finishes. Keith Mitchell has been playing some great golf, missing just two cuts in 2022 and finishing in the top 10 in 33% of his tournaments. He's a golfer who plays best when things aren't the most difficult, which makes St. Andrews a great course for him. Our model thinks he eagles the par-5 fifth about 8% of the time – almost 2% more than the field expected, and an eagle or two could propel him into the top five. We like his outright odds at about 109-1 in the consensus markets compared to our modeled 81-1 and we also like his top-five odds of 20-1.
In the Scottish Open last week, Brian Harman started out en fuego before encountering some serious wind and stumbling over his last 12 holes of Round 1 at 12-over par. Before that meltdown, Harman was on a decent stretch of golf, but it's the value of his odds that have caught our attention. He's about 160-1 in the outright market and our model thinks that should be closer to 112-1. We also like the value on his top five/10 odds at 25-1 and 12-1, respectively.
While there's plenty of excitement around young South Korean Joohyung Kim after his third-place finish last week, countryman Minkyu Kim is a name you should know. In 10 starts in 2022 across the KPGA and Asian Tour, the 21-year-old Kim has finished in the top 10 six times – including a win at the 64th Korea Open just three weeks ago. He played in the CJ Cup in 2021 with an unremarkable 57th-place finish, but Kim has made huge strides this year and could surprise with a top-20 finish. In most places, he's longer than 100-1 to finish in the top five, 50-1 to finish in the top 10 and 20-1 to finish in the top 20. We like all three of those numbers and it doesn't even take a world-shaking win to cash them.
Thailand's Sadom Kaewkanjana has played primarily on the Asian and LIV tours in 2022, amassing four finishes inside the top three – including a third-place finish at the International Series England. It wasn't at a links course, but it was nice to see him get a good result outside of East Asia. He hasn't been great on the LIV Golf International Series thus far, but the courses that LIV picked for its first two events were long and long, which is not an area he specializes in. His placement odds are 80-1, 33-1 and 12-1 to finish top five, top 10 and top 20, respectively, and our model likes all of those numbers. Additionally, we like him as a long shot 250-1 pick to finish at the top of the leaderboard at the end of the first round.

As college students, we all want careers that will make us happy; however, many of us may never obtain that goal.
One reason is life does not always go as planned. Another reason is most of us refuse to follow our hearts. This was my problem during the first few years of my college career.
For the majority of my college career, I believed I was destined to be a doctor. The only reason I decided to pursue the field of medicine was wealth. My intentions were misguided. I am not saying don't choose a career that is lucrative, or don't choose a career for income.
Whatever motivates you do it, but for me money wasn't adequate.
After a few years in college, I was doing very well. Then one summer changed everything. During this summer, I read over ten books and only two of them were about my major—most of my readings were African American History books. It was the beginning of the end for my pursuits in the field of medicine.
I began to enjoy my humanities classes more than my pre-med classes. At that time, I was unaware of the genuine love I had for history classes and, once I finished all my humanity courses, I began to hate college. I asked myself, why am I here? What is my purpose? Am I just going to be a doctor and that's it? I constantly contemplated dropping out.
Luckily, my mentor convinced me to finish my courses for my associates degree. It would have been easy to give up. It would have been easy to continue in the field of medicine, but nothing has ever felt better than when I changed my major from pre-med to history. I am very happy.
I bet on myself and continued to pursue higher education. I had no idea what I was going to do with a history degree. My future was uncertain, but I finally felt like my life was in my hands. Now that I have been a history major for a few semesters, I know I made the right decision.
It was not easy, but after everything I have been through, I finally listened to my heart. I gave up my perceived dream, scholarship (which was a full ride), pride and maybe even some respect that my family and friends had for me.
But I would do it all over again, because I believe once someone follows their passion, anything is possible. Since I made that decision, so many wonderful opportunities have become available to me.
I have joined the UTSA pre-law academy where I earned my certificate for legal reasoning. Also, I discovered a passion for writing, which lead me to become an assistant editor at the Paisano, and I recently started an internship at the District Attorney's office.
I have been able to achieve so much success because I stopped lying to myself. I stopped looking outward, and I began to look inward. College is about finding what you want in life, and doing it no matter what anyone thinks. The only person you must please is yourself. So be honest with yourself, and do what you want to do in life. You only get one.

'MPs wanted: Experienced harassers accepted'
Wow, really? What's this all about?
Following up on their recent 'Three Billboards' campaign highlighting lack of accountability in gender-related incidents among British MPs, (https://addvertising.org/boris-johnson-decision-sparks-three-billboards-reaction) the UK Women's Equality Party (WEP) has launched a further series of posters that drive a stiletto-thrust of black humour into the heart of British government and law-making, Westminster itself.
The WEP asks why MPs facing unresolved allegations of harassment and abuse have been allowed to keep their jobs, in the party's new national campaign to tackle violence against women.
The posters spoof job descriptions with hard-hitting anti-violence wording to get the message across as most of us do a double-take to process what we're reading.
The 2017 'Pestminster' scandal of alleged harassment, abuse, and misuse of power among Westminster MPs has not resulted in a single conviction, points out the WEP, illustrating that if abuse is allowed to go unchecked in Westminster, where laws are made, then there is little hope of tackling the issue of violence against women nationally.
Do you think this kind of campaign is useful for raising awareness or will it only raise hackles? Does it demonise men or is it a fair response to goings-on and attitudes in British politics - and by extension, society?

Mika goes cruising in his new video for single 'Sanremo' - WATCH
The new video was directed by W.I.Z
Words: Steve Brown
Mika goes cruising in his new video for his latest single 'Sanremo'.
The new single comes from Mika's brand-new album 'My Name is Michael Holbrook' and in the new video – directed by W.I.Z - we see the singer/songwriter leave his wife and daughter to visit an underground gay cruising area where a sailor is seen pour milk down over men.
W.I.Z told Billboard: "[The clip takes place in] an era when homosexuality, if not illegal, was socially unacceptable, a time of discrimination and persecution.
"'Sanremo' represents his utopian dream, a fictional place of liberation and transcendence."
Mika, who has appeared as a judge on The X Factor Italy and The Voice France in recent years, is set to return to London next month to play a show at the Shepherd's Bush Empire, before embarking on a Europe-wide series of shows as part of his not-so-tiny 'Tiny Love Tiny Tour'.
The album is Mika's first full-length record since 2015's No Place in Heaven.

The Chairman of the ICSA rural development committee Seamus Sherlock has said the pre-budget submission by the Environmental Pillar to change the tax treatment of agricultural diesel could double the cost of the fuel.
Mr. Sherlock said it was accepted globally that agricultural diesel should be heavily discounted because agricultural machinery uses large quantities of diesel to harvest silage and cereals, as well as cultivating the land.
"This is the reality of food production. It represents a method of supplying food at the lowest cost in the most efficient manner.
He said the proposal by the environmental block, which he attacked as "lunatic", "essentially suggests that we should all go back to the scythe and pitchfork.
Stating that the ICSA "is totally opposed to any changes which would make diesel as expensive as petrol," he said "diesel is the fuel which transports all inputs and outputs in our agri-food export sector.

TYPES OF SOLVENTS - 12018_609
PAINTING AND PRESERVATION - 12018_611
Safety goggles that will protect against splashes, or a face shield A chemical cartridge respirator for protection against small amounts of organic vapors or for protection for a short duration; or an air-line respirator (or some other type of supplied-air respirator) if use is extensive or in a confined space Coveralls Make sure work areas in which you use chlorinated cleaning solvents have proper ventilation. For enclosed spaces, an air change every 3 minutes is recommended. Consult the gas free engineer to determine if the ventilation is adequate. Organic Cleaning Solvents Organic cleaning solvents include the following: Toluene Xylene Some alcohols Acetone Methyl ethyl ketone Ethyl acetate Dry-cleaning solvent Kerosene Petroleum Ether Turpentine Morpholine and other related compounds These compounds are highly flammable and highly to moderately toxic. Some are also corrosive. Inhalation of concentrated vapors may cause dizziness, nausea, or vomiting. Organic cleaning solvents should be stowed as follows: Stow organic cleaning solvents in a flammable liquid storeroom, ready service storeroom, or a flammable locker. Keep them away heat, open flames, or spark-producing devices. Stow them away from oxidizers, such as calcium hypochlorite, sodium nitrate, and hydrogen peroxide. When handling organic cleaning solvents, wear the following PPE: Neoprene gloves Safety splash goggles Protective coveralls (recommended) In addition, if vapors accumulate over 100 parts per million (ppm), wear an OBA and notify the gas free engineer. Fluorocarbon Refrigerants and Solvents Fluorocarbon refrigerants and fluorocarbon solvents, such as trichlorotrifluoroethane (Freon 113, Freon TF, Genetron 113, R-113), are commonly found aboard ship. They are used in food storage compart- ments and air-conditioned spaces and as solvents in engineering spaces. F l u o r o c a r b o n va p o r s h ave t h e f o l l ow i n g characteristics: They are colorless and almost odorless. They cannot be detected without special instruments. They are nonflammable and nonexplosive; however, exposure to flames or hot surfaces will cause these compounds to generate hydrogen c h l o r i d e , hy d r o g e n f l u o r i d e , a n d o t h e r poisonous gases. They aren't irritating, but contact may cause frostbite. Operations involving trichlorotrifluoroethane (Freon 113) are considered hazardous. An industrial hygienist or a gas free engineer must evaluate and approve these operations to ensure the work process meets safety requirements. 18-9 Student Notes:
