Home / 'Don't be a soldier!' The radical anti-war movement in north London 1914-1918 - Ken Weller
16. The Brotherhood Church
The NLHL was not the only centre of the anti-War movement in North London. Another was the Brotherhood Church in Southgate Road. But to understand its role it is necessary to make a historical digression. The Church was founded in 1662, as an independent congregational chapel. In 1862 it moved to its final site in Southgate Road; at this time it was a conventional chapel, although it had some fairly radical connections. In 1892 the Reverend Bruce Wallace became the Minister. Wallace was a Christian Socialist. In 1887 he had founded the socialist paper Brotherhood at Limavady in Northern Ireland, in which he developed the ideas he was later to put into practice.
When Bruce Wallace took over he renamed the Southgate Road Chapel the Brotherhood Church, and it rapidly became the centre of a whole range of radical and socialist activities. The Brotherhood Association, the Church's 'political' wing, had about 15 branches by the turn of the century, mostly in London but. one or two elsewhere.
There were also several associated churches, for example those at Croydon, Harrow Road, Forest Gate and Walthamstow.1 Also connected with the Church was the Co-operative Brotherhood Trust which operated several workshops and shops, of which at least one, the shop at 37 Newington Green, seems to have lasted until after the 1914-1918 War.
About the turn of the century, the Brotherhood movement spawned a number of communities in the countryside where members lived together. There were four of these in Essex alone, and while many were relatively short lived, one at least, 'The Commune' at Stanford-le- Hope, was in existence until the Second World War. 'The Commune' and some other Brotherhood-connected groups seem to have played quite an important part in the informal network helping 'dodgers' on the run. After the end of the War 'The Commune' provided a recuperative haven for a number of anti-War activists, notably Reg Sorenson and Fenner Brockway and their families.2.
The politics of the Church were basically christian socialist and pacifist - a number of its members were Quakers. There was a strong Tolstoyan anarchist current and William Morris was an important influence.3
The Church had strong links with the socialist movement, exemplified by the record of one of its prominent members, H. A. Barker.
Barker also illustrates how, whenever you look at the wartime radical movement, you have only to scratch the surface to find strong connections with previous radical waves embedded within them. Barker (1858-1940) was a Trustee of the Brotherhood Church for its last 30 years. A builder by trade, he was born in Shoreditch and seems to have lived in the general area all his life; as a boy he had been confirmed at the Southgate Road Chapel before it was taken over by Bruce Wallace. Barker was a pioneer socialist. He was probably a member of the Labour Emancipation League, a forerunner of the SDF, and he was certainly a very early member of the latter. In December 1884 Barker left the SDF with the Socialist League split, and he became a very active member of the new body, of which he eventually became National Secretary between 1886 and 1888.
In 1888 Barker left the Socialist League with a number of other members who objected to the growing anti-parliamentarian ism of that organisation, and he helped to found the Labour Union, a short-lived socialist group which played a prominent part, with H. A. Barker much to the fore, in the industrial struggles in North London in the 1889-1890 period, notably the successful and pretty violent strike of coal porters at the St Pan eras Arches complex in July and August 1889, which led to the formation of the Coal Porters' Union. The Labour Union was also heavily involved in the disastrous strike of postmen at Mount Pleasant and other local post offices in July 1890, which was completely smashed by the authorities.
Barker went on to play a leading part in the formation of the ILP and he was a member of its first executive. He was an active member of the Brotherhood Church from its formation until its closure.4
A notable event at the Church under Bruce Wallace was the Congress there in 1907 of the Russian Social-Democratic Labour Party which was attended by virtually all the prominent figures of both the Bolshevik and Menshevik wings of the Party.5
In January 1911 the Church was taken over by F. R. Swan, who got the job with the help of the Reverend R. J. Campbell of the City Temple. Campbell had been Secretary of Finsbury ILP.6 Swan had lost his previous living because of his support for Victor Grayson, the successful independent socialist candidate in the Colne Valley election of 1907. He was a member of the ILP and had joined the staff of the Daily Herald virtuallv from its foundation.
Under Swan's ministry the Church became even more explicitly political. Its service took the form of a reading from the Bible - in accordance with a clause in the Church's trustee agreement - readings from other books, the singing of songs from the Labour Songbook, and a speaker. Among the huge number of speakers before the War were Annie Besant, Sylvia Pankhurst, Keir Hardie, Tom Mann and George Lansbury.
The same month that War broke out the Church had its first anti-War meeting, at which the main speaker was Herbert Burrows.7 From then on the opposition of the Brotherhood Church to the War remained constant, although its attitude was pacifist rather than militant. By and large the importance of the Church during the War was as a place for meetings. Those involved in the anti-War struggle found it very difficult to obtain halls for meetings and the existence of the Brotherhood Church as a friendly reliable venue made it much in demand, so much so that George Lansbury described it as 'the Mecca, the meeting place of those who wanted peace'.8
As an illustration of what this meant, we can take the first six months of 1916. On January 16th, a 'Stop the War' meeting at the Church was attacked by hooligans who, as well as assaulting individuals, pelted the meeting with thunderflashes and other missiles. On January 30th, the 'Anti-German League' held a meeting of about 700 people outside the Church, calling on the authorities to close down peace meetings there. The Chairman of this meeting was Alderman Vorley.
On March 10th, Sylvia Pankhurst spoke at a meeting organised by the WSF. This meeting was attacked and broken up by a mob which included many soldiers in uniform led by an officer; Canadian troops were prominent. An interesting feature of this meeting, and perhaps an omen of things to come, was that quite a few of the soldiers who had come to disrupt found that they were in agreement with the WSF's case. Finally in June 1916 there was a series of large meetings at the Church called by the No-Conscription Fellowship at which the main speaker was Clifford Allen. There seems to have been no substantial disruption of these meetings.
Perhaps the peak of the Brotherhood Church's involvement in the anti-War struggle came in July 1917 when, in response to the February Revolution in Russia, the Leeds Convention met to set up Councils of Workers' and Soldiers' Delegates.9 The Convention decided, among other things, to hold a series of regional meetings, one of them to be held in London. The original London hall having failed to materialise due to police pressure, the meeting was moved to the Brotherhood Church.
This meeting took place on July 28th. There were about 250 delegates including a number of servicemen. There had been some attempt to keep the venue of the meeting private but even so the authorities were well prepared. Basil Thomson, head of the Special Branch, noted in his diary on 27th July in relation to the meeting:
They will have a rude awakening tomorrow, as I have arranged for the Daily Express to publish the place of the meeting and strong opposition may be expected.10
Leaflets were also distributed in the area stating that a pro-German meeting was taking place and that 'scores of old soldiers and others are going to march to the canal bridge to show these traitors what we think of them'. The leaflets called on the local population to 'remember the last air raid and roll up'.11 Part of the job of mobilising the mob was taken on by Horatio Bottomley,12 Then MP for South Hackney, who ran a sort of mini-Tammany Hall locally which had a 'stable' of roughs on call.
Long before the meeting was due to start the mobs had begun to gather. It was estimated that they eventually totalled 8,000, many of them in uniform. The leaders of the military contingent seem to have been a Canadian soldier and two Royal Naval Air Service men. Also present were our old friends the Anti-German League. There was also a strong force of police in attendance.
By 3 pm the Church was completely surrounded. At 3.15 a sledge-hammer mysteriously materialised and the front door of the Church was smashed in and the fight started. The delegates who had already arrived were trapped in the small hall at the back. Meanwhile the crowd systematically smashed up the main hall; windows and fanlights were broken and frames ripped out, the furniture was almost completely destroyed, water pipes were pulled out of the walls and the hall was partially flooded.
Bertrand Russell - who was there - described what happened to the trapped delegates:
A few people, among them Francis Meynell13 attempted resistance, and I remember him returning from the door with his face streaming with blood.
The mob burst in led by a few officers; all except the officers were more or less drunk. The fiercest were viragos who used wooden boards full of rusty nails. An attempt was made by the officers to induce the women among us to retire first so they might deal as they thought fit with the pacifist men, whom they supposed to be all cowards. Mrs Snowden behaved on this occasion in a very admirable manner. She refused pointblank to leave the hall unless the men were allowed to leave at the same time. The other women present agreed with her. This rather upset the officers in charge of the roughs, as they did not particularly wish to assault women. But by this time the mob had its blood up, and pandemonium broke loose. Everyone had to escape as best they could while the police looked on calmly. Two of the drunken women began to attack me with their boards full of nails. While I was wondering how one defended oneself against this type of attack, one of the ladies among us went up to the police and suggested they should defend me. The police merely shrugged their shoulders. 'But he is an eminent philosopher', said the lady, and the police still shrugged. 'But he is famous all over the world as a man of learning', she continued. The police remained unmoved. 'But he is the brother of an Earl', she finally cried. At this the police rushed to my assistance. They were, however, too late to be of any service, and I owe my life to a young woman whom I did not know, who interposed herself between me and the viragos long enough for me to make my escape. But quite a number of people, including several women, had their clothes torn off their backs as they left the building.14
Another illustration of the violence of the situation and the attitude of the police was what happened to Leonard Howard of the NLHL. With blood streaming down his face he was attacked again and again. He eventually took refuge in a furniture van, and the police finally acted- they grabbed him and threw him back to his attackers.15 It seems that Howard and other League members present played an active part in the physical defence of the Church.
Needless to say the conference broke up; when John Maclean turned up a bit later all he saw was 'a howling mob of male and female dervishes' .16 Among the consequences of this rather one-sided fighting were numerous injuries, including lacerated heads and serious cuts; one delegate nearly had his eye gouged out by a stick; and a young woman had her throat badly cut when someone in the crowd tried to grab her necklace.
A. M. Barker the 18-year-old son of H. A. Barker - was present at the time and wrote of his experience to me:
But I will tell of an awful scene of a woman being swung around by her hair, the technique of women's fighting in those days - and which could cause terrible scalp wounds - and a crowd of god knows how many howling 'do her in' and horrible language. . . . The next morning I found the Church itself wrecked, a shameful shambles of broken windows, broken down doors, smashed pews, piano, organ, and the floors of the Church almost solid with brickbats. I almost broke down and cried at this terrible shameful sight.
The police arrested only one man - one of the delegates. The excuse given for the police inactivity by the sub-inspector in charge was 'that to have attempted to arrest anyone would have depleted our force and given them [the rioters] the opportunity of attacking the Church.' In actuality the role of the police consisted entirely of gently shooing the rioters from the ruined hall after they had worked themselves out - a classic example of low-profile policing?
The events at the Brotherhood Church raise questions which have never been satisfactorily answered as to the extent to which the authorities were involved in the attacks on, and harrassment of, the anti-War movement. They were certainly involved - as the Basil Thomson evidence establishes - in sometimes making sure that potential attackers were informed of the venues of private meetings; what is not clear - although there were deep suspicions at the time - is to what extent the authorities were involved in the attacks themselves. Certainly the presence of large numbers of troops in uniform is significant, as is the total lack of any arrests, in spite of the prior presence of ample police. What happened at the Brotherhood Church was not an isolated event as I hope this text shows, and what happened on a local scale was repeated nationally.
To take two more North London examples of harrassment of meetings. On September 1st, 1917, a meeting was called at Highbury Corner by the WSF and the Women's Peace Crusade.17 The advertised speakers were Sylvia Pankhurst, ex-inspector Symes, Nellie Best, Patricia Lynch and Reg Sorenson. At the last moment the organisers moved the meeting to the corner of Lofting Road and Caledonian Road, leaving a large hostile crowd - which had been roused by leaflets calling on all good 'patriots' to oppose the meeting - soaking in the rain. The Anti-German League was again in evidence, led on this occasion by a man called Richard Glover.
On October 17th, 1917, there was another attack on a meeting at the Brotherhood Church, at which the speaker was Bertrand Russell and the chairman was F. R. Swan. There were about 200 foot and 40 mounted police in attendance, but 'in spite' of the strong force of police, large numbers of rioters got into the Church, broke up the meeting, poured petrol over the rostrum and set it alight. The ensuing fire did considerable damage and was eventually put out by the fire brigade which had been present before the meeting started.
After these attacks the Brotherhood Church received partial compensation amounting to £400 from the Government. This was only a fraction of the total damage done, and the wrecked Church was surrounded by an eight foot high hoarding. The damage received by the building made it unsuitable for any further large meetings during the War, but smaller gatherings continued.
With the coming of peace the Church continued to function, but it was in severe financial difficulties, having to foot the bill for repairing the damage it had received during the War. It continued to be a centre for a wide range of political activities. For example, the first two conferences of the Young Communist League was held there18 And trade union branches, local Labour Parties, the SPGB, the Women's Co-operative Guild and the Shoreditch Unemployed all met at the Church. Eventually funds ran out and the Church finally closed its doors on March 18th, 1934. Regular meetings of the congregation continued at the Essex Road Library until the death of F. R. Swan in October 1938; the last meeting was held on January 12th 1939.19
After the final closure, surviving members of the Brotherhood Church apparently used to meet in Walthamstow until the early 1960s. As I was writing this text I was surprised to discover that a Brotherhood Church still exists at Stapleton, near Pontefract, Yorkshire. This community is a direct descendant of the Brotherhood community at Purleigh in Essex, which was itself an offshoot of the Brotherhood Church at Croydon.20
1. I suspect that the Walthamstow Brotherhood Church was connected with the Walthamstow Free Christian Church. whose minister, Reg Sorenson played an important part in the anti-War movement in North London.
2. For information on some of the Brotherhood communities see Dennis Hardy AllemalÙ'e Communities in nineteenth Century England, 1979. pp. 165-210.
3. In the 1890s. the Croydon Brotherhood Church was the main publisher of Tolstoy's social writings; its minister.J. C. Kenworthy was also a well known anti-War campaigner.
4. The best source of information on H. A. Barker is his entry in The Dictionary of Labour Biograpkv by Barbara Nield and John Saville. I am also grateful for considerable help given me by A. M. Barker.
5. Among those present at the Brotherhood Church on this occasion were Lenin, Stalin. Trotsky, Plekhanov, Gorky, Zinoviev and Rosa Luxemburg.
6. R..J. Campbell died in 1956.
7. Herbert Burrows was a civil servant who lived in Highbury. The son of a Chartist, he was a founder-member of the SDF, and for many years he was one of its most notable leaders. He stood as the SDF parliamentary candidate in Haggerston in 1908 and 1910, but resigned from the party in 1911 in protest at the leadership's growing chauvinism. Burrows was quite active in the anti-War movement in spite of growing ill health. In September 1916 he represented Shoreditch Trades Council at a WSF conference on women in industry, which must have been one of his last public appearances. He died in 1921 after 6 years of serious illness.
8. See the Daily Herald, March 27th, 1931.
9. The Leeds Convention was called by the United Socialist Council, an alliance of the BSP, the ILP and the Fabian Society. Incidentally, the joint secretaries of the Convention were Francis Johnson of Finsbury ILP and Albert Inkpin of Hackney BSP, both National Secretaries of their respective organisations. However, the movement towards the Convention had been initiated by the National Herald League. One oft-forgotten aspect of the Convention was that the jingoist opposition to it culminated in what was virtually a pogrom in the Jewish area of Leeds.
10. See Sir Basil Thomson, The Scene Changes, 1939, p. 383, quoted in Raymond Challinor, The Origins of British Bolshevism, 1977. I can recommend this book which, while primarily dealing with the SLP is a valuable source of background information about the period covered by this text.
11. Workers' Dreadnought, August 4th, 1917.
12. Bottomley, with a long record of dubious financial dealings behind him, was elected MP for South Hackney in1906. Funnily enough, Islington Trades and Labour Council issued a manifesto supporting him in 1910. During the War his paper, John Bull, led the pack with the most virulently 'anti-German' rhetoric, while Bottomley himself made a fortune 'giving' recruiting and patriotic speeches for money. In 1922 he was sentenced to 7 years' imprisonment for fraud and had to resign his seat.
13. Francis Meynell, 1891-1975, typographer, worked on the Daily Herald, of which he became a director between 1918 and 1920. Meynell wrote the first explicit attack on the War to appear in the Weekly Herald in December 1914. At the time of the riot at the Brotherhood Church he was a member of the WSF. After the War he joined the Communist Party and for a short time was the editor of their journal The Communist. He seems to have left the CP some time in the 1920s. He was knighted in 1946.
14. See The Autobiography of Bertrand Russell, Vol. 2 (1914-1944) pp. 31-32.
16. See Nan Milton, John Maclean, 1973, p. 142.
17. The Women's Peace Crusade had emerged in Glasgow in 1916. It rapidly expanded into a national network, much of its support coming from working- class women and socialist-feminists. It was not only engaged in the anti-War struggle, but also in a whole range of other issues, notaby rent strikes.
18. These two conferences were held in August 1922 and October 1923. Harry Young, who was the YCL's first National Organiser, had also been a member of the NLHL. In 1926 he represented the YCL on the Executive Committee of the CP and he also spent some time in the Soviet Union. Harry left the Party in the mid-1930s and from 1940 until the present time (1982) he has been an active member of the SPGB. Harry has been a most valuable source of information on the NLHL and on radical events in North London generally. I would like to make special acknowledgment here of my debt of gratitude to him.
19. The minutes of the Brotherhood Church, 1926-1939, are held at the Islington Central Library.
20. There is a most interesting account of the Stapleton church in A. G. Higgins, A History of the Brotherhood Church published by the Brotherhood Church, Stapleton, Nr. Pontefract, Yorkshire. (Price £4 plus postage.)

J'entends la voix: What are the best operatic Eurovision entries of the past 10 years?
byRobert Wiggins
Swedish opera singer Rickard Soderberg recently shared pictures of himself in the recording studio, prompting speculation that he's set to make a run at Melodifestivalen 2017, which follows his previous attempt in 2015. If he wins Sweden's national selection contest, he won't be the first opera star to grace the stage at Eurovision.
Indeed, Eurovision lends itself to plenty of genre bending, especially when it comes to opera. Some operatic acts go all the way down the classical route, some incorporate pop elements, and others take the genre to a whole new level of extravagance. Before the fat lady sings, we decided to rank the top operatic entries of the past decade. And yes — we're using the term very loosely indeed.
The following acts are ranked based on three metrics. First, their overall placing at the contest. Second, the percentage of available points scored (e.g Italy scored 292 out of a possible 468 points on offer in 2015). And third, the approval rating. This third metric charts the percentage of likes an entry has received on the Youtube clip of the live performance.
I'm using percentages for this analysis because it makes it easier to compare entries across different years, when different scoring systems and formats were used at Eurovision. The list only takes into account "operatic entries" from the last ten years. Given that this genre may be liked less by fans generally, the Youtube favourability ranking helps separate them from one another with a greater degree of accuracy. In any event, let's do this…
8. Belgium 2015
Place: 14 (in the semi-final)
Points %: 15.5
Approval rating %: 75.2
Propping up the table is Axel Hirsoux, a singer who has drawn comparisons to the guy with the funny mustache on the "Go-compare" advert. Despite his vocal prowess, and a particularly excellent high register, he failed to make the final with his sweet ode to mum. Performed in a more classical manner, the results show that this operatic effort just didn't catch on with the public or juries. Either that, or people found the ghostly woman in the background too off-putting.
7. Croatia 2013
Place: 13 (in semi-final)
Points % 21.1
The last Croatian entry before the country's hiatus from Eurovision, this was very operatic in style. Six guys, Klapa s mora, took to the stage dressed like 16th century conquistadors singing a pleasant, if a little unremarkable number, similar to that of a church hymn. Calling the song "Misery" probably didn't help either.
6. Sweden 2009
Place: 21 (in final)
Points %: 6.7
One of the more extravagant entries on the "opera at Eurovision spectrum", this saw Malena become a symbol of purity amidst the madness, as she delivered an excellent vocal, for all I know reaching every octave possible. However, "La Voix" wasn't strong enough (or accessible enough) to climb the scoreboard in Moscow. But hey: At least it seems to have inspired this national final attempt from Opera Skaala in Finland.
5. Latvia 2007
In the penultimate year of 100% televoting, Bonapart.IV made quite the impression, storming through the semi final in 4th place. The entry, albeit pastiche, embraces the more contemporary form of opera typified best by the Three Tenors and Il Divo. It's probably a bit overacted, and the roses seem unnecessary, but heck it worked, and they come in at number 5 on our list.
4. Romania 2013
If you want to introduce somebody to Eurovision, you should probably go with this. It's dramatic, bold, cheesy and disastrous all at once. Cezar is a countertenor singer and love him or hate him, you cannot deny that he brought one of the most entertaining entries of the last few years. This is a proper spectacle!
3. France 2011
They say dreams come true but sometimes they don't. Unfortunately Amaury fell into the latter category with the French/Corsican "Sognu". France were the long-time bookies favourite and, had such a result transpired, it would have been the first victory at the contest for an operatic song ever. But 15th in 2011 registers as the second highest placing France have achieved within the last six years.
2. Russia 2010
I'm clutching at straws with this one. In his defense, Peter Nalitch sounds like an operatic tenor and he wouldn't sound out of place as the seventh member of Klapa S Mora. "Lost and Forgotten" is not opera, but the vocal is enough to include it on this list. The song itself was nice, and a bit more low-key than recent Russian entries. Who could forget the drawing Peter held up during the performance?
1. Italy 2015
Place: 3 (in final)
Topping all three categories convincingly, Il Volo, who represented Italy in 2015, win the day. Made up of two tenors and a baritone, the group blew audiences away with their voices and their formidable stage presence. As of now, "Grande Amore" is the only opera-related song to win the public vote and it stands testament to what a song in this style can achieve if presented in a commercially viable and culturally identifiable way.
Do you agree with our list? Who should have been ranked higher or lower? And is it possible for an opera-related song to win the contest in the modern day? Leave your comments below!

Big voices are not appreciated at Esc/Jesc.
One must not forget the little prodigy from Malta, Federica Jesc2014. How many other kids can sing like her but she placed only 4th. But she will find big opportunities far away from Esc, where she will be appreciated like Malena, Alenka, Cezar and Il Volo. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wadHSXst3qk

What about Igor Cukrov (Croatia 2009)? He also had an operatic voice-tenor or something? Am I the only one who thinks that Lijepa Tena is one of the most underrated Eurovision songs ever?

1. Italy 2015 – yes, we know that they know they are big, at that time they were stars, but they were good. They were using ESC to be relevant in Europe AGAIN (their succes is bigger in Latin America), so maybe this is why the juries wanted them down.
2. Romania 2013 – He seems talented and … how many men would accept to do that staging.
3. Russia 2010 – Talented singer and the song was a parody, was ment to joke about cheesy ballads. I'm not sure if I agree, but he was also misunderstood.

Second runner-up from Finland 2015, Opera Skaala/Heart of light, combining classical opera and EDM. All the hit-factors about this song are just wow. Unfortunately it was not their year and we sent Pertti Kurikan Nimipäivät to Vienna, and it resulted to… not disaster but a minor shame of land… But among those songs presented here, Il Volo, definitively.

Latvia 2007 is the best of the songs!
Everyone please, I understand that it may seem weird for Nostalgija to not be here, but please read the title before commenting things like this, it explicitly states "of the last 10 years". So nothing before 2007 was counted in this list, which does make the omission of Alenka Gotar questionable…
My first thought was Croatia 1995 too! I scanned the list in anticipation, but no. A notable omission. I'm a millennial myself, so I don't really agree with Charles' assertion – but in case he's right, all you young folks should do yourselves a favour and check it out. I love brushing up on past Eurovisions for the very reason that you come across gems like this.
For your viewing pleasure, I give you "Nostalgija" performed by Magazin and the wonderful Lidija Horvat-Dunjko. An absolute classic!

what about israel 2004?
In my mind Malena Ernman and Alenka Gotar are the best Opera Eurovision singers and songs. I hope to one day meet my idol Malena Ernman while I am here in Sweden.
In response to what some of you guys have flagged up, I made a mistake regarding Slovenia 2007, and apologise for leaving Alenka out. I should be able to slot her in on the list within a couple of days. 🙂
By the above metric she'd have:
Putting her 2nd overall.
What about Alenka Gotar? This is by far the best operatic perfornance at Eurovision ever. And she even reached quite decent placing during the contest.
@Polegend Godgarina: You spoke the real truth … sadly Magazin were before the coming out of Eurovision of Dana International' closet … therefore the interest is almost zero and very millennial-youtube-instagram-esque.
Axel … no comments! Klapa S Mora … forgettable … I literally forget this one was in … Malena … it's just awful to see how far Fredrik Kempe goes to mock his own genre of music, in which he is clearly talented, wrapped in such a shameless way in schlager mode sung by someone who did it just for the fun of it … There was nothing to be said … Bonaparti … I literally have no recollection of this as much as most of the televoting era crap.

Russia picked the right song of 2010. It was so heart wrenching….could make a stone cry 🙂
mocosuburbian
only sognu was genuine :/
Im seething for the omission of Alenka Gotar and the phenomenal hand torches.
Klapa is a music style of its own and isn't really opera so whilst I like that song, it's bizarre that it made the list over one of the most listenable opera entries.
I find operatic songs so boring, unless you spice them up with trashy beats like La Croix and It's My Bible. Those were amazing songs!
Vladimir P.
I understand why Krassimir (Bulgaria 2009) is not on the list (he was bad), but it's weird that Alenka Gotar wasn't mentioned.
interesting we would had in 2010 song like songs from Romania if Russia choosen Oleg Bezinskikh "Crowning" who finished on 2nd place. Both Oleg and Babbushki would gave better result for Russia that year.
Russia made big mistake why they didn t send Buranovskiye Babushki with "Dlinnaya-dlinnaya beresta i kak sdelat' iz neyo aishon" who are finished on 3 rd place in national final. With that song (for me much better than song from 2012) Russia would be strong contender for win and maybe Germany winner from that year wili be on second place. For me best 3 operatic songs are 1.Italy 2015 (they deserved to won that year and televote agreed with that) 2.Sweden 2009 (where she lost so many points from semifinal which she finished on 4 place in semi) 3.France 2011… Read more »

Where in hell is Alenka Gotar? The Best ever… I still take prozac because of her placing
Russia 2010 is so beautiful…..too beautiful to desverve to get into the rather kitschy "opera-bag". But I like some of those songs. Esp. France 11 and Croatia 10. Even if I'm all for diverse and brave musical moves in ESC – I suppose the songs are too remote from "pop / rock culture" to do very well. And with songs / acts as Rmania 13…well, the less said from me, the better – some people might love it 🙂 Personally, I find those songs / acts often far too kitschy and cheesy.

Italy 2015 is so overrated! It's just recycled pop opera that does nothing.
Slovenia 2007 should definitely be here, it's by far the best operatic entry.
I think opera is not that popular and it's usually inaccessible for ordinary Eurovision viewers. Also, juries don't seem to be fans of it either so I can't see an operatic entry winning in the future.

Most of the entries are okay, but Russia 2010 isn't opera (it was a horrible piece of music as well)

Code<T> is a private Swift meetup, unlike former technology conference, we focus more on the offline communication of participants, through the private meetup, smart people meet each others and surely this will create something awesome. And that's why we control the quantity and quality of the participants.
We've hold the salon for several times in Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou and Chengdu.
Just do it, we will hold the salon for the third time in Shanghai.
Route:Take Metro Line 13, and get off at Zhenbei Road, exit from Exit No.2.
He is the author of MagicalRecord, the iOS framework for use with Core Data. Saul is a co-author of Core Data by Tutorials published with Ray Wenderlich.
Designers will learn how to prototype and design App Store ready app in Interface Builder and Developers will learn how to use @IBDesignable, @IBInspectable and Swift protocol extensions to implement an extendable UI library.
Firstly, we will open Xcode and start with a new iOS app project to demonstrate how to use @IBDesignable and @IBInspectable to implement customized UI elements in Xcode and use them in Interface Builder. After that, we will introduce an open source project IBAnimatable. We will install IBAnimatable using CocoaPods in the project above. Then we will live design customised UI, animations, and transitions in Interface Builder.
In the second part, we will take a further look at how to implement a flexible and extendable UI library using Swift protocol extensions. To demonstrate the power of Swift protocol extensions, we will integrate an existing UI library with IBAnimatable to add animation features. In our case, we use a big enough UI library called Material as an example. Then add animation capability for Material UI elements using Animatable protocol within IBAnimatable. We can use Swift protocol extensions to develop and extend any UI elements.
We will live code in Xcode and live design in Interface Builder during the entire talk. We will also use interactive slides made in Interface Builder. And display them within an iOS app on an iPad Pro.
This is the third time we've held our salon in Shanghai, as a private meetup, we are prepared to invite participants to limit the number of participants and make sure that it is a high-end Salon, I hope you recommend smart guys around to join us, of course, if you are confident in your own technique, you can recommend yourself.


Each year the Department of Defense (DoD) prepares and submits a budget request through the President to Congress. Not only does Defense believe they need the resources that they ask for in the budget, but they also request a certain level flexibility in spending in order to meet the challenges of an uncertain future with a changing threat environment. When Congress increases their control over spending, the DoD's flexibility in spending directly decreases. So understanding Congressional control over Defense through the budget is important for Defense management. Levels and trends in Congressional control over Defense spending have been studied in the past. The goal of this thesis is to determine if the levels and trends in Congressional control of Defense spending within the post-Cold War era are consistent with those observed in the Cold War era. Comparative analysis through the use of graphs and statistics is the methodology used to determine the degree on consistency between time periods. Results show that the increasing trends of Congressional control over Defense spending observed in the Cold War era have significantly leveled off. It seems as if Congress has reached maximum capacity to control Defense spending.


This Roasted Pepper and Saffron Risotto recipe is a delicious side dish for a dinner night with a dollop of mascarpone cheese.
Steep the saffron in a little boiling water to release the flavor and color.
Melt 3 tbsp. of butter and olive oil in a medium sized heavy bottomed saucepan and cook the onion without color until it is soft.
Add the rice and cook for a solid 2 – 3 minutes constantly stirring the pan you want to toast the rice. Then add the wine and saffron dissolved in water on a medium heat until the wine has evaporated.
Ladle in the stock gradually stirring from time to time until all the stock has been incorporated, repeat this process until all the stock is absorbed and rice is al dente. If you run low on stock just add a little water to stock.
Allow the rice to cook until it is "al dente", and then turn off the heat.
Stir in fresh herbs and season well with freshly ground salt and black pepper. Stir in parmesan cheese and remainder of butter.


Balance, as defined by Merriam-Webster, means "physical equilibrium; stability produced by even distribution of weight on each side of the vertical axis."
Good balance starts with the "ready" position. That is, understanding the difference between your standing height and playing height.
With your feet shoulders' width apart and knees bent just enough so you can't see your shoelaces, that's correct playing height. With your weight slightly forward and on the balls of your feet, not flat-footed, you've got control of your balance and are in "ready" position to move to the ball.
Now, think about reaching with your feet, not with your hands. If your racquet is ready (racquet back when the ball leaves your opponent's strings), reaching with your feet maintains better balance, control and distribution of weight to hit the ball, and the racquet will do the work, rather than just swinging away with all arm.
It's also important to note the use of small, quick steps, which are better for good timing and balance than taking big strides. Take a tip from the pros when watching them move between hitting balls. It's not unusual to see them take almost a dozen small steps between groundstrokes.
After completing your shot (i.e., following through) and bringing your outside foot (back foot) forward, incorporate a split step to get back to "ready" position and maintain control of your balance. Now you're ready and balanced for the next ball.
off hand: pointing at the ball to gauge the distance it needs to be away from your body when hitting forehands, and as a counter balance on the one-handed backhand.
head: staying completely still with eye on the ball through contact.
All these components working in tandem are keys to help you keep your balance and play better tennis!

Texas' Looming Hispanic Shift Explained In 2 Charts
By Matt Stiles
A bilingual sign outside a polling center ahead of local elections in Austin, Texas, on April 28.
NPR is taking a look at the demographic changes that could reshape the political landscape in Texas over the next decade — and what that could mean for the rest of the country.
Within a decade, Hispanics are projected to eclipse non-Hispanic whites as the largest race or ethnic group in Texas. It's a development that could someday shift the state's — or, given the size of Texas, even the nation's — politics.
The demographic change is in part because Hispanics in Texas are a "young" population compared to non-Hispanic whites. That means the largest age groups among Hispanics are under the age of 18, while the largest groups of non-Hispanic whites are around middle age.
In 2010, for example, there were 197,000 2-year-old Hispanics in Texas — 50,000 more than non-Hispanic whites that age. In contrast, there were 190,000 50-year-old non-Hispanic whites — 90,000 more than Hispanics of that age.
Over the next 20 years, more and more Hispanics will move into labor force ages — prime reproduction years — and ultimately outpace other race or ethnic groups, said Lloyd Potter, a professor at the University of Texas, San Antonio, who serves as the state's official demographer.
In 2010, among the statewide population, Hispanics were already the largest group among all residents age 37 or younger. That age line will continue trending older, and the non-Hispanic white population will start to decline, fueling the trend.
This chart (below), created with 2010 data, shows the total number of Hispanics and non-Hispanic whites by each specific age. It helps visualize the trend of how the Hispanic population skews young — in this case, on the left of the chart:
UPDATE (7/11/13): Potter, the state demographer, clarified that 2023 is a conservative estimate for when the Hispanic population will become larger than the non-White Hispanic population. That estimate doesn't account for migration into the state. Other estimates predict the switch could occur as early as 2017, he said.

Q: Fallback URLs in Websphere Liberty Profile I am on a team developing a single page web application with an associated REST API.
I wonder if anyone can help me?  I am trying to find a way for our application to return the contents of index.html with a 200 response if certain URLs are accessed. For example the client wants to embed information in the URL but expects the content on index.html to be returned.
For example our single page web application is available on a single context root e.g: http://host:9082/webapp
We have rest endpoints available on http://host:9082/webapp/api/... These endpoints must not return index html, they must only return valid rest responses with the appropriate status code (400, 404, 200, 201 etc)
Java script is served from  http://host:9082/webapp/js/... and there are other locations we don't want to fall back to index.html
However, if the client requests http://host:9082/webapp/resource/7/show we want index.html to be returned with status code 200. The client will then extract meaning from the URL to drive other REST requests.
So I tried to write a filter like the following:
@Override
public void doFilter(ServletRequest servletRequest,ServletResponse servletResponse, FilterChain filterChain) throws IOException, ServletException
{
    final HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest)servletRequest;
    final HttpServletResponse response = (HttpServletResponse)servletResponse;
    final String requestUri = request.getRequestURI();
    if (!excluded(requestUri))
    {
        request.getRequestDispatcher(INDEX_HTML).forward(request, response);
    }
    else
    {
        filterChain.doFilter(servletRequest, servletResponse);
    }
}

private boolean excluded(String requestUri)
{
    for (String part : mExcludedUriParts)
    {
        if (requestUri.contains(part))
        {
            return true;
        }
    }
    return false;
}

and enabled the filter in web.xml as following:
<filter>
    <filter-name>FallbackFilter</filter-name>
    <filter-class>com....http.filter.internal.FallbackFilter</filter-class>
    <init-param>
        <param-name>excludedUriParts</param-name>
        <param-value>/api/,.js/,.png,.html,/apidocs/,/users/imgs/</param-value>
    </init-param>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>FallbackFilter</filter-name>
    <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>

However this approach is quite fragile as the deployed needs to change the web.xml to match the available resources on the server which may of course change.
We also considered detecting 404's in the filterChain then modifying the response but Liberty did not allow this as the response has already been committed.  We also considered using the request accept headers (i.e text/html) as the basis for whether or not to return index html, but we have other html files so this approach did not work either.
We basically want a way to allow some non existent locations on the server to return index.html with a 200 status code. Ideally we want to be informed of a 404 and control the response.
Is there a way to achieve this using filters or any other mechanism in Liberty?
Many thanks

A: I'm not certain of this, but if you wrap the response in a ServletResponseWrapper you may be able to intercept PrintWriter.flush() so setting the 404 does not commit the response, then the filter can work with it.  There's an example of this used for something else here:
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSAW57_8.5.5/com.ibm.websphere.nd.iseries.doc/ae/twbs_jaxrs_handlers_servlet_filters.html

Bits and Pieces (April 2017)

james-2001 posted:
Not sure if it was 8PM, but it was pre-watershed from the move to half-hour episodes in 88 until the 2009 revamp. These things do happen though as times change, the first episode of EastEnders for example also has Nick Cotton using a word you wouldn't get away with pre-watershed these days either.
I haven't quite reached series 5 yet, still working my way through series 4, almost at the end though. Of course their "Series 5" also includes around half of Series 6, and I won't be suprised if Series 6, which they're due to release tomorrow, includes a large chunk of series 7.
Admittedly the grouping into series was pretty meaningless after the move to half hour episodes really, it's just a 22-year long continuous flow of episodes, it's just a way of splitting the years they were broadcast in. Pretty much every change that was made to the show (i.e. new title sequences and theme tunes, moving back to an hour long format, going widescreen, the ditching (and then re-introduction of) episode titles, even the 2009 revamp) took place mid "series". The only exception I can think of was the new title sequence and the move to three times a week which took place on the first episode of "series 9" (also the first episode aired after Thames went off air, and started being commissioned through YTV). Even the 1998 revamp didn't happen until the 3rd episode of "series 14".
Also to note in one of the earlier series the end credits say LWT than Thames too! , I know in the ones I have watched so far there is mild swearing but I was surprised at a particular word had appeared and wondered how it would have got through at 8pm (I know times change and we could say it was at that time but you know you couldn't say it now even if it was pre-watershed)

Which is something I remember, going to my school's Firework display, then coming home, my dad had The Bill on and the episode included.... a firework display! They'd clearly started having the show reflect the time of year by that point, because they didn't used to do that in the early years of the show being year round. You used to get through December with no sign of Christmas.

Sorry to back on The Bill on UKTV Play - Series 5 I am noticing that on some of the later episodes the intro theme sounds like its going a bit wonky? (has anyone spotted this?), was it like that originally broadcast or has someone at UKTV been mucking about with the sound system?
I need to also add I think episode 84 (there is a warning before playing on UKTV Play) but it was pretty much colourful language you couldn't get away with .... at least one word was p..s but the other words we're describing other ethnic minorites (the terms used but you couldn't air today)

One thing I want to see it what happens when we get to 1993 in terms of the endcaps. Looking at videos on YouTube which I think come from the Australian DVDs, they have the original endcaps up until the end of 1992, then in 1993 they have either the pre-1989 skyline logo (but without the "Colour Production" tag) or the 1997 Tower Bridge one. In 1993 The Bill started being commissioned through Yorkshire, (then moved to Carlton in 1994) and they were mentioned on the endcaps, and it looks like they're using the other endcaps to cover up the mentions of Yorkshire and Carlton as seen here:
http://ppfiles.meldrum.co.uk/files/jpg/thebillend.jpg
With the episodes on UKTV Play so far, the original hour long episodes have the original endcaps, the first half of series 4 mostly has the 1997 endcap, then from that point we're back to the original endcaps (the skyline "Colour production" endcap until Autumn 1989, then the "For IT*" endcaps after, with another change in Thames logo in 1990). Will be interesting to see what endcaps are on the 1993 episodes that Fremantle send them.
The last time the 1993-97 episodes were shown in the UK, on UK Gold way back in 2001 and 2002, they used an endcap with the 1990 Thames logo, but a "A Pearson Television Company" tagline (as seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJqWlugZQ_Q ) up until some point in 1996 when it changed to the 1997 endcap. From the late 90s till the mid-00s was the era where you'd never see original Thames endcaps on repeats, they were always replaced with the then current one.
Another noticable thing about 1993, is in the new title sequence, it's clearly Stamp & Ackland in the police car that speeds towards the camera at the start, whereas in the original 1985 version it's just a couple of random extras. There was a period in 1991 and 92 where they didn't have the police car intro for some reason, and the titles just began with the closeup of the flashing lights.

This maybe an odd question to ask.... I like watching Abandoned Engineering on Yesterday, however the name in the US is Mysteries of the Abandoned and is shown on Discovery there, is this programme part of a co-op production between UKTV and Discovery itself? I have always wondered when the UKTV breakup happened we would say lose this programme but it seems its one of the "Discovery" shows that they are happy to show (as its never been repeated on the Discovery channels in the UK just for a bit more clarity...)

That seems to be an indie production (their website says they make all their own programmes, so presumably somebody somewhere flogged it to UKTV and they bought some broadcast rights) and it just has various distributors for different territories. Its not unusual for a programme to have a different name once it crosses the Atlantic (in either direction) when it gets imported, especially if there is or has been a programme of the same or similar name floating around.

I just wondered as in general as I think its one of those programmes you think you not going to watch and in the end find it interesting, I'm glad even though its made by an indie production its at least a common ground between the both companies in my book, that even though the UKTV partnership is over but at least programming can be kept (maybe its just me being positive on this)

A Soundbite (on Howard Zinn) Heard Round the World
One critical voice unleashes the Left's totalitarian attack dogs.
February 11, 2010 by David Horowitz Leave a Comment
I knew when I responded to an NPR request for a comment on the late, unlamented Howard Zinn that I was asking for trouble — from the anti-American, Marxoid, neo-Communist left. But I did it anyway because Howard Zinn's life was so dedicated to evil and specifically to the support of mass murderers and self-declared enemies of his country, that someone with a brain unfogged by leftwing claptrap had to do it. As it turned out, if I had not contributed my soundbite it would have been left to depraved radicals — in this case Noam Chomsky and Julian Bond — to promote Zinn's malevolent work to an NPR audience of millions. I was somewhat surprised that the leftists at NPR turned to me since I have been effectively erased as a public intellectual from their airwaves along with a legion of other non-progressives.
Only one of my books, Radical Son, has ever enjoyed five minutes of airtime attention on NPR. Oh — there is an exception. Before I voted for Ronald Reagan — or made the vote public — I was indeed a guest on "Fresh Air" to talk about The Kennedys, which I co-authored with Peter Collier. Although it is a book show and I have written more than a dozen well-received books since, the show has studiously avoided recognizing my existence; that is, for 25 years.
So this 30-second appearance was a rarity and came as a surprise to me. But evidently one 30-second appearance is too much for the totalitarians of the progressive left who have predictably launched an organized harassment campaign against the reporter who interviewed me and her boss. The smear crowds at Media Matters and FAIR have been hard at work ginning up the Pavlovian attack dogs to make the lives of NPR employees as miserable as they can. These witch-hunts by the way are intimidating and effective. We'll see how soon before NPR asks my opinion again.
Among the witch-hunters, Eric Alterman, as usual, provides the most amusement, complaining that I was not "qualified" to make a comment on Zinn:
"Horowitz, on the other hand, does not claim to have known Zinn personally, and shares neither his goals nor views. He has no specialized knowledge of Zinn whatsoever. The single qualification that David Horowitz possessed to be included in the piece on Zinn's obituary was that he could be depended upon to be deeply critical of the deceased."
Actually, I am eminently qualified to comment on Zinn, having written a portrait of him and his writings in Unholy Alliance, and having devoted hundreds of thousands of words to my area of expertise, which is the Communist and neo-Communist left. Alterman, on the other hand, is himself something of an impostor, having secured a sinecure as the "Distinguished Professor of English at Brooklyn College." If there was to be a single testimony to the debasement of the American university by tenured leftists this could be a candidate, since Alterman has no discernible literary interest, let alone expertise, that would qualify him for such a position. (Alterman's degrees are in government, history, and international relations.) In fact, since I have written a book about Shakespeare I am more prepared to teach English than he is. However, I lack the principal qualification for a post in the English Department at Brooklyn College, since I am not a brain-dead, anti-American leftist.
David Horowitz is founder of the David Horowitz Freedom Center and the bestselling author of several books, including Radical Son, The Black Book Of The American Left, Dark Agenda: The War To Destroy Christian America, and I Can't Breathe: How A Racial Hoax Is Killing America.

Bobcat Is Ahead of Schedule as it's Set to Deliver Miners to North America, Europe, and China
In addition to delivering its second batch of orders to China, Bobcat will begin shipping its first batch of orders to North America and Europe. A total of 2000 units for all three regions have already rolled off the production line and ready to be shipped across the world. These orders were made during the first week of the official website launch on Mar 3, 2021, and through partnership platforms in China. Presently, these units will ship during the last week of April and will leave the distribution center just ahead of a 5-day public holiday commencing on 5/1, which slows down production and distribution in China.
Against the backdrop of a severe global shortage of electronic components, Bobcat was able to fulfill orders just ahead of the estimated 8-week shipping timeline. This delivery comes on the heels of making a difficult decision regarding PayPal's unusually long settlement cycle, where payments from these batches will not be released until a few months after the products are shipped.
Traditional payment aggregators consider the pre-order sales model adopted by Bobcat and other vendors to be highly volatile. Thus, in an attempt to protect themselves from chargebacks, they will hold onto customer payments for an extended period even after products are shipped. In many cases, this severely compromises a manufacturer's ability to optimize and can sometimes hinder them from being able to fulfill their orders on time.  Fortunately, equipped with a healthy manufacturing infrastructure and strong supplier ties, Bobcat has managed to overcome these potential setbacks and has made the necessary adjustments to honor their shipping promise of first come first served. While Bobcat will continue to strive to make improvements to its shipping timeline, the official 8-12 week lead time on all orders remains unchanged.  In the past week, many early bobcat-adopters expressed their full support and complete trust in Bobcat by accepting a full refund from PayPal and resubmitting their payment via crypto. As a token of gratitude, their orders will be added to this first batch and Bobcat will express their appreciation to them with a special announcement.  For European and North American orders made through the website, the cutoff batch order number is 10195. Shipping dates for subsequent batches will be announced in the upcoming weeks.
