5 Awards and nominations
Sorvino was born in New York City[1] to Lorraine Ruth Davis, a drama therapist for Alzheimer's disease patients and a former actress, and Paul Sorvino, a character actor and film director.[2][3] She has two siblings, Michael and Amanda. Sorvino is of Italian descent on her father's side.[4]
Sorvino was raised in Tenafly, New Jersey,[5] where she wrote and acted in backyard plays with her childhood friend Hope Davis and in theater productions at Dwight-Englewood School.[6] Sorvino has said that as a child she was strongly influenced by her mother to pursue social causes; her mother had participated at the March on Washington.[7] Sorvino excelled in high school, and was accepted into Harvard University. She studied for one year as an exchange student with CIEE in Beijing, China, where she became fluent in Mandarin Chinese.[8] In 1989, she graduated from Harvard magna cum laude with a degree in East Asian studies.[9] She also helped found the Harvard-Radcliffe Veritones, one of Harvard's co-ed a cappella groups in 1985.[10]
Sorvino's first major screen appearance was in the teen television series Swans Crossing, on which she appeared in six episodes.[7] When the 1993 film Amongst Friends entered preproduction, she was hired as third assistant director, then was promoted to casting director, then to assistant producer, and was finally offered a lead role. Positive reviews[11][12] led to other acting opportunities.
After small roles in Robert Redford's Quiz Show and Whit Stillman's Barcelona, she was cast in the 1995 Woody Allen film Mighty Aphrodite. Her portrayal of a happy-go-lucky prostitute made her a star, winning her an Academy Award[13] and Golden Globe[14] for Best Supporting Actress. While the film garnered Sorvino international notoriety, she described the shooting of the film as extremely stressful: "I was absolutely neurotic doing Mighty Aphrodite," she recalled. "Every night brought a new nervous breakdown. I'd cry and talk to God, I was so nervous. Then the next day, I'd show up and do my scenes."[7]
Other credits include Romy and Michele's High School Reunion with Lisa Kudrow, At First Sight with Val Kilmer, and Summer of Sam from Spike Lee. She portrayed Marilyn Monroe for the 1996 HBO film Norma Jean & Marilyn, for which she was nominated for a Golden Globe,[14] and the lead role in the 1997 horror movie Mimic from Guillermo del Toro. In 1995, she portrayed Conchita Closson in the BBC miniseries The Buccaneers based on Edith Wharton's last novel. She starred as Daisy Buchanan in the 2000 television film The Great Gatsby.
In 2002, Sorvino appeared as the lead in The Triumph of Love, an adaptation of the 1732 Marivaux play.[15] In 2006, she received a Golden Globe nomination for her role as an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent in the Lifetime film Human Trafficking.[14] The following year, she had a supporting role in the drama Reservation Road (2007), with Mark Ruffalo.
In February 2008, she guest-starred in the "Frozen" episode of the medical television drama House. Making her character, psychiatrist Cate Milton, a recurring character, was mentioned, but the writers' strike put a freeze on such discussions.[16]
She starred in Attack on Leningrad (2009), Multiple Sarcasms (2010) with Timothy Hutton and Stockard Channing, and Nancy Savoca's Union Square (2012), with Patti Lupone and Tammy Blanchard.[17] The film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival[17] to good reviews.[18][19] In the same year, Sorvino played the mother of the lead in the film adaptation of Wendy Mass's popular children's book Jeremy Fink and the Meaning of Life.[20]
In 2014, she reappeared as Head Detective Betsy Brannigan on the final season of Psych, and on the fourth season of Falling Skies as John Pope's love interest, Sara.[21] Sorvino also joined the cast of the television series Intruders, playing the role of Amy Whelan. In 2016, she appeared in the Netflix series Lady Dynamite as an actor working on a sitcom pilot named White Trash.[22] In 2018, Sorvino played the role of Amy in the psychological thriller, Look Away, alongside Jason Isaacs and India Eisley.[23] She will be voiced alongside Tom Hardy, Bryce Dallas Howard, Rachel Weisz, Steven Seagal, Holly Hunter, Sullivan Stapleton and Juliette Lewis in the animated film Live the Hipsters.
Between 1996 and 1998, Mira Sorvino was romantically involved with director Quentin Tarantino, who was her escort to the Academy Awards ceremony where she won Best Supporting Actress for Mighty Aphrodite.[24]
Sorvino met actor Christopher Backus at a friend's charades party in August 2003. On June 11, 2004, they married in a private civil ceremony at the Santa Barbara, California, courthouse, then later had a hilltop ceremony in Capri, Italy. The couple has four children: daughters Mattea Angel (born 2004)[25] and Lucia (born 2012)[26] and sons Johnny Christopher King (born 2006)[27] and Holden Paul Terry Backus (born 2009).[28]
In honor of Sorvino's role as Susan Tyler, an entomologist who was investigating deadly insect mutations in the feature film Mimic, a compound excreted by the sunburst diving beetle as a defensive mechanism was named "mirasorvone" by Thomas Eisner.[29],[30]
Sorvino at the Anti-Human Trafficking Symposium in Washington, D.C., January 30, 2013
In September 2014, Sorvino gave a wide-ranging interview on The Nerdist Podcast in which she discusses her education and her life in China, and many of her varied interests.[31] Sorvino was an atheist in 1997 but has converted to Christianity since then.[32][33] She resides with her family in Los Angeles, California.[34]
In 2017, Mira Sorvino came out publicly about the sexual harassment she endured from producer Harvey Weinstein.[35] As one of his many victims, Sorvino believes that her career may have been damaged after rebuffing Weinstein's advances.[36][37] According to Peter Jackson, Weinstein blacklisted Sorvino and Ashley Judd, another alleged victim of Weinstein, from being considered for casting in The Lord of the Rings films.[38]
Political activism[edit]
She has been affiliated with Amnesty International since 2004,[39] and in 2006, was honored with Amnesty International's Artist of Conscience Award given to those who have displayed longstanding philanthropic and humanist efforts. Sorvino has been a U.N. Goodwill Ambassador to Combat Human Trafficking, since 2009 through 2012, and has lobbied Congress to abolish human trafficking in Darfur.[40]

Q: Qt C++ Drag QHeaderView between tables I want to copy the selected column of a QTableWidget to another one.
So I tried to make selected columns draggable by adding this code:
void makeDraggable(QTableWidget *table)
{
    table->setDragEnabled(true);
    table->setAcceptDrops(true);
    table->setSelectionBehavior(QAbstractItemView::SelectColumns);
}

Result I got:

But I want to drag a whole column (horizontal and vertical headers) by clicking on headers only, not on cells, and copy its data to another table including the header text.

A: Dragging between different tables inside one application can be done with reimplementing custom QHeaderView and QTableWidget. In my example I generate text with indecies of table and column for drag event. Custom header:
#include <QHeaderView>

class ITableManager;

class DraggableHeaderView : public QHeaderView
{
    Q_OBJECT
public:
    explicit DraggableHeaderView(Qt::Orientation orientation, QWidget *parent = 0);

    int tag() const;
    void setTag(const int tag);
    void setTableManager(ITableManager* manager);

protected:
    void mouseMoveEvent(QMouseEvent *e);

    void dragEnterEvent(QDragEnterEvent *event);
    void dragMoveEvent(QDragMoveEvent *event);
    void dropEvent(QDropEvent *event);

signals:

public slots:

private:
    int m_tag;  //internal index of table
    ITableManager *m_tableManager;  //manager will convert table index into pointer
};

Custom header cpp
#include <QMouseEvent>
#include <QDrag>
#include <QMimeData>
#include <QDebug>
#include <QTableWidget>

#include <ITableManager.h>

DraggableHeaderView::DraggableHeaderView(Qt::Orientation orientation, QWidget *parent) :
    QHeaderView(orientation, parent)
{
    m_tag = 0;
    m_tableManager = 0;
    setAcceptDrops(true);
}

void DraggableHeaderView::mouseMoveEvent(QMouseEvent *e)
{
    if (e->buttons() & Qt::LeftButton)
    {
        int index = logicalIndexAt(e->pos());
        QDrag *drag = new QDrag(this);
        QMimeData *mimeData = new QMimeData;
        //custom drag text with indecies inside
        QString mimeTxt = "MoveHeader;Table:" + QString::number(m_tag) +
                ";Index:" + QString::number(index);
        mimeData->setText(mimeTxt);
        drag->setMimeData(mimeData);
        Qt::DropAction dropAction = drag->exec();
    }
}

int DraggableHeaderView::tag() const
{
    return m_tag;
}

void DraggableHeaderView::setTag(const int tag)
{
    m_tag = tag;
}

void DraggableHeaderView::dragEnterEvent(QDragEnterEvent *event)
{
    if (!m_tableManager)
    {
        event->ignore();
        return;
    }

    QString dragText = event->mimeData()->text();
    int index = dragText.indexOf("MoveHeader;");
    if (index == 0)
    {
        event->accept();
    }
    else
    {
        event->ignore();
    }
}

void DraggableHeaderView::dropEvent(QDropEvent *event)
{
    if (!m_tableManager)
    {
        event->ignore();
        return;
    }

    QStringList dragText = event->mimeData()->text().split(';');
    if (dragText.count() < 3 || dragText.at(0) != "MoveHeader")
    {
        event->ignore();
        return;
    }

    int tableIndex = dragText.at(1).mid(6).toInt();//6 - length 'Table:'
    QTableWidget* tableSrc = m_tableManager->getTableFromIndex(tableIndex);
    if (!tableSrc)
    {
        event->ignore();
        return;
    }

    //dst table as parent for header view
    QTableWidget *tableDst = qobject_cast<QTableWidget*> (this->parentWidget());
    if (!tableDst)
    {
        event->ignore();
        return;
    }

    //move column: modify for your needs
    //now moves only items text
    int columnIndex = logicalIndexAt(event->pos());
    int srcColumnIndex = dragText.at(2).mid(6).toInt(); //6 - length of 'Index:'
    tableDst->insertColumn(columnIndex);
    for (int iRow = 0; iRow < tableDst->rowCount() && iRow < tableSrc->rowCount(); ++iRow)
    {
        if (tableSrc->item(iRow, srcColumnIndex))
        {
            tableDst->setItem(iRow, columnIndex,

        }
    }
    tableSrc->removeColumn(srcColumnIndex);
}

void DraggableHeaderView::setTableManager(ITableManager *manager)
{
    m_tableManager = manager;
}

Now create custom QTableWidget with DraggableHeaderView inside
class CustomTableWidget : public QTableWidget
{
    Q_OBJECT
public:
    explicit CustomTableWidget(QWidget *parent = 0);

    void setTag(const int tag);
    void setTableManager(ITableManager* manager);
};

CustomTableWidget::CustomTableWidget(QWidget *parent) :
    QTableWidget(parent)
{
    DraggableHeaderView *headerView = new DraggableHeaderView(Qt::Horizontal, this);

    setHorizontalHeader(headerView);

    setAcceptDrops(true);
}

void CustomTableWidget::setTag(const int tag)
{
    DraggableHeaderView *header = qobject_cast<DraggableHeaderView*> (horizontalHeader());
    if (header)
    {
        header->setTag(tag);
    }
}

void CustomTableWidget::setTableManager(ITableManager *manager)
{
    DraggableHeaderView *header = qobject_cast<DraggableHeaderView*> (horizontalHeader());
    if (header)
    {
        header->setTableManager(manager);
    }
}

For converting table index to pointer I use ITableManager
class ITableManager
{
public:
    virtual QTableWidget* getTableFromIndex(const int index) = 0;
};

And implement it in QMainWindow
class MainWindow : public QMainWindow, ITableManager
{
    Q_OBJECT

public:
    explicit MainWindow(QWidget *parent = 0);
    ~MainWindow();

    QTableWidget* getTableFromIndex(const int index);
}

QTableWidget * MainWindow::getTableFromIndex(const int index)
{
    switch (index)
    {
    case 1:
        return ui->tableWidget;
    case 2:
        return ui->tableWidget_2;
    default:
        return nullptr;
    }
}

Dont forget setup tags (indecies) and table manager for tables (in main window constructor)
ui->tableWidget->setTag(1);
ui->tableWidget_2->setTag(2);
ui->tableWidget->setTableManager(this);
ui->tableWidget_2->setTableManager(this);

EDIT: If you want change custom pixmap for dragging just set QDrag::setPixmap
void DraggableHeaderView::mouseMoveEvent(QMouseEvent *e)
{
    if (e->buttons() & Qt::LeftButton)
    {
        int index = logicalIndexAt(e->pos());
        QDrag *drag = new QDrag(this);
        QMimeData *mimeData = new QMimeData;
        QString mimeTxt = "MoveHeader;Table:" + QString::number(m_tag) +
                ";Index:" + QString::number(index);
        mimeData->setText(mimeTxt);
        drag->setMimeData(mimeData);
        drag->setPixmap(pixmapForDrag(index));
        Qt::DropAction dropAction = drag->exec();
    }
}

And method for taking pixmap of column can be like this
QPixmap DraggableHeaderView::pixmapForDrag(const int columnIndex) const
{
    QTableWidget *table = qobject_cast<QTableWidget*> (this->parentWidget());
    if (!table)
    {
        return QPixmap();
    }

    //image for first 5 row
    int height = table->horizontalHeader()->height();
    for (int iRow = 0; iRow < 5 && iRow < table->rowCount(); ++iRow)
    {
        height += table->rowHeight(iRow);
    }

    //clip maximum size
    if (height > 200)
    {
        height = 200;
    }

    QRect rect(table->columnViewportPosition(columnIndex) + table->verticalHeader()->width(),
                 table->rowViewportPosition(0),
                 table->columnWidth(columnIndex),
                 height);
    QPixmap pixmap(rect.size());
    table->render(&pixmap, QPoint(), QRegion(rect));
    return pixmap;
}

As others pored over the papers released by the British government in relation to the hunger strikes of 1981, I was in Dublin to visit the Hugh Lane Gallery exhibition 'Civil Rights etc.'.
Pride of place in the exhibition of works by husband-and-wife team, the late Richard Hamilton and Rita Donagh, is given over to the piercing portrait of a blanketman during the blanket protest.
The nobility and humanity of the hunger strikers is more evident in that single image by Hamilton than in a thousand documents, press briefings or books.
As someone who was a full-time activist with the H-Block-Armagh campaign in 1981, it strikes me as preposterous that anyone should suggest there existed on the outside a cabal of republican politicians who put an election before the lives of the prisoners.
Until now, I have skirted the debate, more in sadness at the anti-Gerry Adams obsession which drives much of this hate-filled discourse than in anger.
Nevertheless, it's good to see that lie nailed in the same week that the oldest canard of all from the hunger strikes re-emerged in the British 1981 papers: that the family of hunger striker Raymond McCreesh insisted he continue his fast when he wanted to stop. The motivation behind both items of pernicious propaganda was to weaken the cause of justice and peace.
Perhaps now those whose anti-peace process fingerprints are all over this dirty work will desist.
In the meantime, those of us who revere the legacy of the hunger strikers could do worse than ensure this year, 2012, sees Richard Hamilton's monumental work, The citizen, based on blanketman Hugh Rooney, and Rita Donagh's piercing landscapes of the H-Blocks, get their first-ever outing in Belfast.
Next Monday sees the start of a four-part series on risk, 'Dúshlán' ('Challenge') on TG4. The documentaries represent a new departure for the Belfast Media Group and hopefully will help create more jobs in our Gaeltacht Quarter.
For the first programme in the series, we dispatched Irish American Kevin McKiernan to Afghanistan to embed with Sergeant Séamus Ó Fianghusa, an Irish-speaking Brooklyn native whose mum hails from South Korea. I won't be spoiling the ending by telling readers that Sgt Ó Fianghusa emerges unscathed from his tour of duty. Ditto Kevin McKiernan, though he was shot at – by US troops after his taxi ran a stop sign outside Bagram airbase. Fortunately, the shots were fired over the vehicle and, after waving a white handkerchief from the window of the cab, Kevin and his local taxidriver were allowed to proceed. Apparently, this type of incident is known as a "cultural miscue" in Iraq, where Kevin was also embedded. "I witnessed the killing of five Kurds at one roadblock by rival Kurds and often saw U.S. troops pointing loaded rifles at terrified Iraqis after they failed to understand English – even when the soldiers obliged them by screaming it louder." All of which confirms my view that the most dangerous 'profession' in Iraq or Afghanistan is that of civilian.
It was back to porridge at Belfast City Council last night with the first full meeting of the year – now viewable online via the Council site. If I have one prediction to make for the year ahead it is that there will be more progress made in cross-chamber and cross-community relationships than at any time in the past decade. As the black power leader Stokeley Carmichael put it, "We are the leaders we've been waiting for." And I'm not applying that adage solely to the City Fathers and Mothers but to everyone who feels a surge of pride and vindication – as well as pain – when they recall the sacrifice of 1981.


In the afternoon a young German couple came into see the mosaic. They were really impressed especially by the new panels researched and made by Michael and Rachael. As I talked to them it transpired that they are reenactors and are going to the reenactment of Battle of Boswell Field next week. Urs has been reenacting for years starting with Viking times but now is mostly involved with 15th-century. As Urs is from Germany I asked if he geocaches and he does but not fanatically like us. He has some great stories about elaborate caches that they have done. I showed him the picture of Mike climbing under the bridge the other day. Then we got onto games and they are really into playing board games and know all the games we play. They told us about a particularly interesting game called Time Stories which we might look into. Also, they said that if we get to Germany we should go to the Essen Games Convention which is on from 26 – 29 October 2017. Well, you never know!! Urs and Susanne are also re-enactors too and are heading to the Battle of Bosworth Field for the reenactment. The Battle took place on 22 August 1485 near Ambion Hill, south of Bosworth, Leicestershire.

In the evening we moved to our new house sit in Leafield looking after 5 chickens and a goldfish. It is a big house which used to be 2 cottages with a big garden. We will be very comfortable there. They are into board games so may catch up on some different games while we are there. We found a game called The Great Game of Britain which is like Ticket to Ride but does not play very well. The board is too small for the playing pieces. It wasn't bad but we would not play it again.

Home Technology Nurburgring EV Lap Record Shattered by Peugeot EX1 Electric Concept
Nurburgring EV Lap Record Shattered by Peugeot EX1 Electric Concept
Michael Kwan
Who said electric cars can't be fast? The Peugeot EX1 electric concept car, which we first saw some time last year, recently attacked the iconic Nurburgring Nordschleife circuit in Germany, emerging with a new lap record.
The twin electric motor in the EX1 is capable of developing 340bhp, so it's not exactly a slouch in the power department. Even under some somewhat adverse weather conditions, the EX1 was able to achieve an average speed of 138km/h and a total lap time of 9:01.338.
That's a record… for electric vehicles. The previous electric record was held by the Mini E, which lapped the Nurburgring in 9:51.45. That means the Peugeot smashed the time by almost a whole minute, but its times still pale in comparison to the best regular gas-powered cars.
As far as production cars, the current leader is the Radical SR8 LM with a time of 6:48. The 2011 Nissan GT-R? That's 7:24.22. You have to go pretty far down the list before you see nine-minute times. The EX1 is in the same range as a Ford Focus RS, Chevy Cobalt SS Turbo, and Jaguar S-Type Diesel.
Even so, it's a big achievement for an electric car and it'll be interesting to see how much faster they'll be able to go in the very near future. After all, the Mini E only did the lap last year. Does this mean we'll be looking at 8-minute electrics by 2012?

Archive for the tag "John Dudley Duke of Northumberland"
A genealogical illustration …
… of Lewis' The Survival of the Princes in the Tower. Here is the pedigree, incorporating the "Simnel" and "Warbeck" hypotheses but also Jack Leslau's theory involving More and Hans Holbein's painting.

Yet another target for the Cairo dwellers
de Noailles
Last autumn, we reblogged posts to illustrate that the denialists of the history world, quite apart from their antics with respect to Richard III, quoted an obviously non-existent part of a document about Edward II and cited a book on botany, with reference to John Pitt, 2nd Earl of Chatham, that he couldn't have owned because it was clearly published after his death, mentioning Queen Victoria who acceded two years after Chatham's death.
This next case concerns two of the Seymour brothers, of whom Thomas,
Sudeley
Baron Sudeley, was Lord Admiral and Edward, Duke of Somerset, was Lord Protector to Edward VI – both being roles in which Richard had served before succeeding. Sudeley was beheaded for treason in 1549 during Somerset's Protectorate before the Duke fell in early 1552. Hester Chapman, a 1950s biographer of Edward, quoted the French ambassador, Antoine de Noailles, that John Dudley, then Earl of Warwick but later Duke of Northumberland, had persuaded Somerset to execute his brother.
As Christine Hartweg explains, Skidmore, who wrote about the boy king more recently, made the same claim yet de Noailles did not arrive in England until May 1553, a matter of weeks before Edward's death, as his papers, published in five parts, show and he did not write about previous events.

You will have seen him if you have been to Richard III's final resting place. There are eight small statues on the main entrance (the Vaughan Porch, left) of St. Martin's Cathedral but only one of them is wearing a doublet and hose, showing him to have lived a century later than the others. This is Lord Henry Hastings, as he was during his education alongside Edward VI and participation, with Northumberland's daughter Lady Catherine Dudley in the triple marriage of May 1553. He was still Lord Henry as he served in the household of his great-uncle Reginald Cardinal Pole, travelling to Calais and Flanders and escorting Phillip II to England for his marriage to Mary I, whose succession had been aided by Lord Henry's father, Francis, despite the family's overt Protestant beliefs .
In 1562, two years after succeeding to the Earldom of Huntingdon, he was considered by some for the throne had Elizabeth I not recovered from a bout of smallpox. By 1576, on the death of his mother Catherine (nee' Pole) he was the senior post-Plantagenet, barred from the succession maternally only by the Clarence attainder but he had a junior claim through his grandmother Anne Stafford, w hose father and brother both had their attainders posthumously reversed.
From 1572 to his death in 1595, Huntingdon was Lord President of the Council of the North, a position previously held by Richard as Duke of Gloucester and then by the Earl of Lincoln, in which he ruled the part of England north of the Trent from the King's Manor (above), formerly home to the Abbot of York. During this tenure, he re-established royal authority in the region after the Northern Earls' Rebellion failed, attended Mary Stuart's trial, ensured good relations with James VI and his regents, the Earl of Morton in particular, also helping to prepare defences against the Armada. For his long service for more than half the reign of the last "Tudor", Huntingdon deserves to be remembered alongside Lord Burleigh and his brother-in-law the Earl of Leicester, although his Calvinist beliefs set him apart from them and their Queen. During his time, in 1586, the recusant Margaret Clitherow was pressed to death at York.
As Claire Cross points out in her iconic biography The Puritan Earl, Huntingdon took his role as head of the family seriously. We can read how his assets shrank during his lifetime and how his 42 year marriage was childless, such that his brother Sir George succeeded him as Earl, with senior descendants still alive in Australia, as Jones has shown. He died eleven days before Christmas 1595 and was connected to all four later "Tudor" monarchs but his strongest connection was to Elizabeth I. Just like her, he had been imprisoned at the outset of Mary I's reign, probably because he was Northumberland's son-in-law, although his father's loyalty soon extricated him from this.

What happened to Coldharbour on Richard III's death. . . .?
Yes, another post about Coldharbour (above) which stood in Upper Thames Street, London. But this time it concerns an apparent omission in ownership. It is a known fact that after Bosworth, Henry VII turfed the College of Heralds out of Coldharbour and handed the property over to his mother, Margaret Beaufort. Isn't it? I mean, there's no doubt about this?
Heralds in procession to St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle for the annual service of the Order of the Garter
Well, while following up another trail, I found myself in British History Online, specifically Old and New London: Volume 2. Pages 17-28, published originally by Cassell, Petter & Galpin, London, 1878. Even more specifically, the section deals with Upper Thames Street, and thus the mansion known as Coldharbour, which has strong connections with Richard III.
The name of the house changed and was given different spellings over the years, but the house itself remained there at least from the time of Edward II until it was pulled down by the Earl of Shrewsbury who was guardian of Mary, Queen of Scots.
Here is the relevant extract:
"Among the great mansions and noblemen's palaces that once abounded in this narrow river-side street, we must first of all touch at Cold Harbour, the residence of many great merchants and princes of old time. It is first mentioned, as Stow tells us, in the 13th of Edward II., when Sir John Abel, Knight, let it to Henry Stow, a draper. It was then called Cold Harbrough, in the parish of All Saints ad Fœnum (All Hallows in the Hay), so named from an adjoining hay-wharf. Bequeathed to the Bigots, it was sold by them, in the reign of Edward III., to the well-known London merchant, Sir John Poultney, Draper, four times Mayor of London, and was then called Poultney's Inn. Sir John gave or let it to Humphrey de Bohun, Earl of Hereford and Essex, for one rose at Midsummer, to be given to him and his heirs for all services. In 1397 Richard II. dined there, with his halfbrother John Holland, Earl of Huntingdon, who then lodged in Poultney's Inn, still accounted, as Stow says, "a right fair and stately house." The next year, Edmund, Earl of Cambridge, lodged in it. It still retained its old name in 1410, when Henry IV. granted the house to Prince Hal for the term of his life, starting the young reveller fairly by giving him a generous order on the collector of the customs for twenty casks and one pipe of red Gascony wine, free of duty. In 1472 the river-side mansion belonged to Henry Holland, Duke of Exeter. This duke was the unfortunate Lancastrian (great-grandson of John of Ghent) who, being severely wounded in the battle of Barnet, was conveyed by one of his faithful servants to the Sanctuary at Westminster. He remained in the custody of Edward IV., with the weekly dole of half a mark. The duke hoped to have obtained a pardon from the York party through the influence of his wife, Ann, who was the king's eldest sister. But flight and suffering had made both factions remorseless. This faithless wife obtaining a divorce, married Sir Thomas St. Leger; and not long after, the duke's dead body was found floating in the sea between Dover and Calais. He had either been murdered or drowned in trying to escape from England. Thus the Duke of Exeter's Inn suffered from the victory of Edward, as his neighbour's, the great Earl of Worcester, had paid the penalties of Henry's temporary restoration in 1470. Richard III., grateful to the Heralds for standing up for his strong-handed usurpation, gave Cold Harbour to the Heralds, who, however, were afterwards turned out by Cuthbert Tunstal, Bishop of Durham, whom Henry VIII. had forced out of Durham House in the Strand. In the reign of Edward VI., just before the death of that boy of promise, the ambitious Earl of Northumberland, wishing to win the chief nobles to his side, gave Cold Harbour to Francis, the fifth Earl of Shrewsbury, and its name was then changed to Shrewsbury House (1553), six days before the young king's death. The next earl (guardian for fifteen years of Mary Queen of Scots) took the house down, and built in its place a number of small tenements, and it then became the haunt of poverty. . ."
Cuthbert Tunstall (1474–1559), Bishop of Durham (1530–1559)
Poor Cuthbert, he doesn't look a happy man! But I digress. Ignoring the unworthy comment about Richard's so-called 'strong-handed usurpation', there is, for Ricardians, a glaring omission in all this. What happened to Henry VII and Margaret Beaufort? The College of Heralds were turned out of Coldharbour before the Bishop of Durham 'done the deed' in the reign of Henry VIII. Yes?
Any comments, ladies and gentlemen? Is it just an error by the author of Old and New London?

A Grey Day
The Grey family, originally from Northumberland, are a consistent feature of English history from the Southampton plot of 1415 to Monmouth's rebellion nearly three centuries later.
Sir Thom as Grey (1384-1415) of Castle Heaton was a soldier and one of the three principals in the Southampton plot against Henry V, revealed to him by Edmund Mortimer, 5th Earl of March, at Portchester Castle. His connection to the House of York was that a marriage had been arranged between his son and Isabel, the (very) young daughter of Richard of Conisbrough, Earl of Cambridge. The betrothal was cancelled as one of the consequences of the plot's failure. It may have been related to Grey's purchase of the Yorkist lordship of Tyndale. (The sale of which demonstrates how relatively hard-up the second Duke of York was at this time.)
Sir Joh n Grey of Groby (1432-61) was the son of Edward Grey, Baron Ferrers of Groby and a grandson of the third Baron Grey of Ruthin . Married to Elizabeth Wydeville, by whom he had two sons, he fought for Henry VI at the Second Battle of St. Albans and was killed there.
Lady Jane Grey (1537-54) was the daughter of Henry Grey, who had become Duke of Suffolk on his marriage to Frances Brandon, Henry being Sir John's
great-grandson. Edward VI had named Jane as his heir and her father, together with John Dudley, Duke of Northumberland and Archbishop Cranmer sought to implement this on Edward's 1553 death, contrary to Henry VIII's succession legislation. She married Northumberland's son Lord Guildford Dudley and planned to create him Duke of Clarence but their coup was thwarted and the principals imprisoned. Wyatt rose in early 1554, apparently in favour of the Grey-Dudley faction, so Jane, her husband, father and father-in-law were beheaded close to the St. Albans anniversary. This "Streatham portrait" is possibly a retrospective of Jane, having been painted years after her death. She was also the great-niece of Viscount Grane, formerly Deputy of Ireland, who was beheaded in July 1541.
Ford Grey, Earl of Tankerville (1655-1701) was also Viscount Glendale and Baron Gr ey of Werke. As a veteran of the Rye House Plot, he escaped from the Tower and joined the Duke of Monmouth in exile before joining the Duke's rebellion two years later. At Sedgemoor, he led the rebel cavalry but was captured, whereupon he gave evidence against his co-commanders and his attainder was reversed in 1686. Within another nine years, he was appointed to William III's Privy Council and served in several other offices.
This genealogy connects Sir Thomas to Henry Grey Duke of Suffolk, Lady Jane Grey's father, through his Mowbray brother-in-law. This shows Tankerville's male line descent from Sir Thomas' grandfather.

More Lord Protectors and Defenders of the Realm
Many readers of Carson's "Richard Duke of Gloucester as Lord Protector and High Constable of England" will be curious, given "Tudor" criticism of the Duke's twin roles in 1483, of their practice in the next century, by comparison.
The occasion in question was, of course, the accession of Edward VI as the only surviving son of Henry VIII. It is well established that Edward IV had appointed Gloucester, Edward V's paternal uncle just as the Dukes of Bedford and Gloucester had been to Henry VI, to the role of Constable in 1471 (Carson p.85) and of Protector by his codicil, which took effect in 1483, although the Woodville faction sought to prevent him from receiving the seals. The position of Lord High Constable effectively expired in 1521 when Edward Stafford, 3rd Duke of Buckingham, was attainted and executed, although one has subsequently been appointed solely to serve at each coronation.
Henry VIII's will left no order regarding the Protectorship but on 1 February 1547, just four days after Henry's death, appointed Edward Seymour, 1st Duke of Somerset, to this position. The new King, who was nine, had no paternal uncle and Somerset was his elder maternal uncle, Admiral Thomas Seymour being the younger. As we know, the Admiral was executed in 1549 and Somerset was removed at the same time. He was executed in 1552 along with Sir Michael Stanhope, who we now know to be an ancestor of the journalist Frank Gardner. John Dudley, Earl of Warwick and made Duke of Northumberland, succeeded Somerset but only as Leader of the Council and not Lord Protector.
So, just as we established yesterday (https://murreyandblue.wordpress.com/2015/10/14/fabricating-precontracts-richard-iii-vs-henry-viii/) with reference to pre-contracts, the "Tudor" regime criticised the conduct of Yorkist (and Lancastrian) Kings, but followed it almost exactly with reference to the appointment of a Lord Protector.

Your list of 100 things to do in Iceland makes me want to hop on a plane and go there. I have an Icelandic wool poncho acquired during a stop-over in Reykjavick when flying from England back to Canada about twenty years ago. And lately I've been hearing about people who've travelled to Iceland on vacation and you are so right -- it's becoming a go-to destination.
I do notice, however, a glaring omission in your list of the best things to do in Iceland -- ie follow in Bobby Fischer's footsteps there.
Back in 1972, when the United States won the World Chess Championship against Russia, Bobby Fischer put Iceland on the map. Before that, Iceland wasn't a place anyone really knew anything about -- other than that Vikings arrived there thousands of years ago.
Above are iconic photos of Bobby in Iceland in 1972, before, during and after him becoming World Chess Champion.
Then in 2005 -- thirty-three years later -- Bobby returned to Iceland to escape extradition to the USA and lived for three years in Reykjavik until reports of his death and burial there in 2008.
Above are photos of Bobby in Iceland during those years, scanned from the 2012 book by Helgi Olafsson, an Icelander who was a member of the chess group who arranged for Bobby to be granted citizenship and brought to live in Iceland.
For me the best thing to do in Iceland would be to pay homage to Bobby Fischer. There's a Bobby Fischer museum in the village of Selfoss next to the graveyard where a headstone for Bobby was erected. I'd like to lay some flowers there.
This centre houses memorabilia of the 11th World Chess Champion Bobby Fischer and the Selfoss Chess Club. The American Bobby Fischer became the World Chess Champion when he defeated the Soviet grandmaster and reigning World Champion Boris Spassky in Reykjavik in the summer of 1972. The match is generally referred to as the Match of the Century. It took place at the height of the Cold War, mirroring the tense relations between the two superpowers, the United States of America and the Soviet Union. Since 1948 Soviet chess players had held the World Championship title -- uninterrupted for 25 years. On display at the Bobby Fischer centre in Selfoss are among other things Spassky's and Fischer's scoresheets, a printout from the radiation measurements demanded by Spassky's delegation after the 17th game and a replica of the chess board used during the match, which was staged in Laugardalsholl in Reykjavik. In addition there are many curious items related to Bobby Fischer's stay in Iceland during his last years (2005-2008), for example his chair from the antiquarian bookshop Bokin in Reykjavik. He died on 17th January 2008 at the age of 64. Bobby Fischer's final resting place is at Laugardaelir cemetery, a few hundred metres away from the Bobby Fischer centre. Open from 13:00-16:00 every day.
Thanks for sending your list of 100 things to do in Iceland and perhaps, reminded of Bobby Fischer, you'll consider making that 101.


Honored to have been recognized by AIA Santa Barbara for a 2015 Design Awards Merit Award in the Small Projects category for our Somis Poolhouse, part of our larger Somis Exterior Site project.
The project also received certificates of recognition from County of Santa Barbara's first district supervisor Salud Carbajal, California state senator Hannah Beth Jackson, and state assembly member Das Williams.
Design rationale and additional project images below. Thanks as always to Kurt Jordan of Kurt Jordan Photography for making us look so good.
For a full list of winners in all categories visit the AIASB awards page here.
This modern-farm-style pool house, part of a larger site redesign, overlooks a rich agricultural valley with sweeping views that extend to the Pacific Ocean. Created for a farm-to-table restaurant developer, we built a rural retreat that has minimal impact on the land that supplies her customers' meals.
The significant slope and questionable stability of the original site presented practical design challenges. To address these, the hillside was over-excavated and re-compacted, providing necessary support for the pool house as well as the adjacent pool and tiered terraces.
The overall design has a considered geometry meant to celebrate the fields it borders. The sharp angles and linear patterns of the structure and site both echo and frame the rows of agricultural plantings below.
Building materials are equal parts utilitarian and sustainable. Intended to grow increasingly inconspicuous with age, the reclaimed wood plank flooring, reclaimed steel trellis, high fire-rated cedar siding, corrugated steel panels, and board-formed concrete retaining walls are also in keeping with the owner's own working-ranch aesthetic.
The house's placement – snugged against the xeriscaped slope and fronted by a cluster of century-old, field-dug olives – further minimizes visual impact on those working the surrounding lands. It also enhances the structure's energy efficiency: the slope provides natural thermal regulation, the olives shade. Once planted, the trellis will also shield the sun, while prevailing westerly winds add passive cooling as they pass over the length of the rectangular pool and through clerestory windows.


The company will support HONOR in the development of cutting-edge products and continue its investments in technology innovation, channel distribution and retail strategies while maintaining a firm dual-brand strategy between HONOR and Huawei. Both brands will maintain a forward-thinking mindset and help create an intelligent, fully-connected world.
South Africa will launch the HONOR 10 lite, the device will be available at Vodacom stores for purchase from 5th April 2019 at a retail price of R4, 599, with contract packages starting from R249 PM X 24.
Huawei's consumer business leads the company's revenue with an increase of 48.4%, outperforming Huawei's carrier network business. Last year, Huawei's consumer business achieved sales of RMB 348.9 billion, a year-on-year increase of 45.1%, making it the largest contributor to the company's revenue.
HONOR has cemented its leading position with strong growth, despite a global industry downturn. According to IDC, the global smartphone market recorded a 3.1% year-over-year decline in shipments in the first three quarters of 2018, but HONOR bucked that trend and achieved a 27.1% increase. Also, HONOR achieved a year-on-year (YoY) increase of over 170% in international sales in 2018. HONOR ranked No.2 in global online sales volume with a 29.4% increase YoY in 2018 [Source: IDC Worldwide Mobile Phone Tracker, 2018].
3D TOF: The HONOR View20 includes a TOF (Time of Flight) 3D sensor in its rear camera system. With the added depth sensing, skeletal tracking, and real-time motion capturing capabilities enabled by this new sensor, the HONOR View20 is a remarkably slim-bodied 3D transformer with functions like 3D Motion-Controlled Gaming, 3D Shaping, and Magic AR.
All-View Display: The HONOR View20 uses a 6.4-inch 2310p x 1080p display with 398 PPI. The new All-View display adopts an innovative in-screen camera design; it abandons the widely used notch design which occupies a relatively large area of the front panel and creates a very small hole with a diameter of only 4.5mm for the front camera. As a result, the HONOR View20 provides a striking viewing experience with an extraordinary 91.8% body-to-screen ratio. The 19.5:9 wide screen of the HONOR View20 is also close to the aspect ratio used in cinemas, providing an immersive movie-watching experience.
5G: Huawei and HONOR have been deeply involved in all three levels of network progress, from 3G to 4G, and now 5G: the first involves standard and core patent initiators; the second are those who provide and verify solutions that promote network development; the third are smartphone brands based on 5G solution providers as well as manufacturers of 5G application services who create all kinds of apps. HONOR has a head start in the tactical planning of 5G devices and plans to launch its first 5G mobile phone this year, according to Mr. George Zhao, President of HONOR, at Mobile World Congress 2019.
"HONOR is on the brink of yet another breakthrough and there is no slowing down for us. As the going gets tough, the tough get going. We'll treat each day as an opportunity to deliver greater value to our fans. For HONOR, the best is yet to come," said Mr. George Zhao, Global President of HONOR.

Only Lovers Left Alive Review
Posted by RCNTV on Monday, October 28, 2013 · Leave a Comment
The Plot:
Adam and Eve are two centuries old vampire lovers reuniting after some time apart, in an effort to sooth reclusive musician Adam's growing disdain for mankind and despair for the future. Their blissful domestic reunion in Adam's dilapidated home and on the dark streets of Detroit is however, rudely interrupted by the arrival on Eve's sassy little sister Ava.
Tom Hiddleston has emerged from his role as mischievous comic book villain Loki as an undisputed global superstar. His soft spoken wit and piercing stare is a magnificent fit for melancholic vampire Adam. Hiddleston gives a sensitive and subtle performance as he prowls around Adam's decaying home, brooding beneath tussled jet black hair. It's a sharp reminder that his broad range stretches well beyond fan favourite Loki.
Tilda Swinton is an actress with a naturally ethereal and other worldly quality, rarely if ever has it been put to such effective use as in this performance. Beneath a flowing mane of bleached blonde hair she is the perfect visual and emotional counterpoint to Tom Hiddleston's Adam. Eve's enthusiastic optimism instantly balances out Adam's sullen melancholy.
Swinton and Hiddleston create a remarkable chemistry together, depicting a fascinating portrait of a centuries old marriage. Eve and Adam share a convincing dynamic of casual understanding, tenderness, occasional lust and mutual obsessions. Their lethargic approach to existence seems entirely appropriate for creatures unconcerned with the pressures of human mortality.
Alongside the electrifying central paring, John Hurt and Mia Wasikowska add an extra dimension of colourful personality to the film. Wasikowska is effectively precious and irritating and Eve's immature vampire sister. Meanwhile John Hurt adds some gravel voiced gravitas to proceedings as an immortal Christopher Marlowe.
Director Jim Jarmusch has a cult following based on his flair for charismatic slow paced storytelling and distinctive visual style. Only Lovers Left Alive echoes much of his finest work like Ghost Dog and Broken Flowers. The film has a languid pace, but it's consistently thoughtful and packed with wry dark humour.
As with many of Jarmusch's films Only Lovers Left Alive embraces the full awesome power of music with a soundtrack that enhances the scenery and characterisation in a way dialogue and visuals alone never could. It's an expertly deployed tool for setting a subtle tone for the film and uniting the radically different landscapes of Detroit and Tangiers.
Set entirely at night, for obvious reasons, the film has dark magical quality to its visual that lends an added air of gothic romance to proceedings. Even the decaying urban wasteland of an abandoned Detroit has a strange excitement about it in the dark corners of the night.
Those unaccustomed to Jarmusch's unhurried style of storytelling may perhaps find the film a little slow moving. Likewise those searching for Twilight style romantic melodrama or hoping for genuinely scary Vampire horror may both be left disappointed. In truth Jarmusch panders to neither stereotype and his creatures of the night are very much full and complex characters in their own right.
The Ugly Truth:
Only Lovers Left Alive is a seductive gothic romance of the highest caliber; boasting magnetic performances, black comedy and a well-chosen soundtrack. Director Jim Jarmusch successfully reclaims Vampires from the clutches of young adult fiction and restores their brooding menace and lust.

Add Value to be Competitive
"It's not just the forgings, but the value you add to the forgings, that will keep you competitive."
Wallace Huskonen | Jun 05, 2004
Metaldyne claims to be the largest independent forging company on this continent. But it doesn't call itself a forger, according to Timothy D. Leuliette, in his keynote address at the 2004 Forging Industry Technical Conference held recently in Detroit.
Leuliette is chairman, president, and CEO of Metaldyne, a company resulting from the merger of metal products producers MascoTech, Simpson Industries, and Global Metal Technologies.
"We do hot, warm and cold forgings. I think we're as good at forging as anybody. Forging is the bedrock of our business.
"But we're not a forging company. We're a company that does forgings and then adds value to them through machining and assembly."
Leuliette sees a bright future for forgings. "The auto industry in this country alone is going to produce 17 plus million vehicles for as far ahead as I can see. And it's going to continue to buy at least as many forged components as it does now."
At Metaldyne, it's not enough to simply make forgings these days. "We used forging as a building block to grow this company. But raw forgings are becoming a smaller and smaller part of our business. Our employment numbers are up, but our forging employment is down. Where we are competitive, we'll compete. Where we're not, we'll move on. But we'll still be providing forged products to our customers. We'll just focus more on machining and assembly and other value-added processes."
According to Leuliette, there will be losers in the forging industry. "Some are desperately trying to hang on by low balling bids, signing contracts they can't service profitably, hoping for miracles like a drastic drop in the price of steel.
"If you think of yourself as simply a forging house—if you see your future as simply doing forgings, and doing them only in North America—then you are shackling yourself to the past. And you are going to get buried by the changes taking place in the world today."
Leuliette pointed out that the forging process itself represents only 20 percent of the value of a forged product that reaches the end user. "And that's the first 20 percent. For every dollar of value that forging produces, someone else has to add four or five dollars of value before you have a marketable product. When you are at that end of the value chain—the bottom end—you are a commodity. And when you are a commodity in a global market, you are extremely vulnerable."
To be a winner, you have to deal with two realities, Leuliette said. "One is that this is, and will continue to be, a global market. And second, it's not just the forgings, but the value you add to the forgings, that will keep you competitive."

Latest Silicon Valley is Kihei
The Maui Research and Technology Park is now a high-tech incubator, says the head of one of the park's main tenants. | Photo: Courtesy of Maui Economic Development Board
Jason Ubay
"Maui is an excellent place to start a new business," says Vaughn Vasconcellos, president and CEO of Akimeka LLC, headquartered in Kihei's Maui Research and Technology Park. Its high-tech neighbors include local companies Oceanit and Trex, and large federal contractors like Boeing, Textron and SAIC. He says the Maui High-Tech Park is now an incubator similar to the Manoa Innovation Center on Oahu.
Vasconcellos founded Akimeka in 1997 with $35,000 of his own money. The company, which develops medical information software for the Department of Defense and local governments, has grown from 20 employees to nearly 200 in the past 10 years, and has offices in Honolulu, Florida, Texas, Virginia and Washington, D.C. This year, the U.S. Small Business Administration named Vasconcellos second runner-up nationally for its Person of the Year.
Born and raised on Molokai, he says he keeps his headquarters in Kihei to create high-paying jobs on Maui. "The challenge we face is recruiting (qualified engineers) to live on Maui," Vasconcellos says. "It's sometimes harder to get someone to move from Oahu than it is from California, because Oahu is home for them and Maui seems a thousand miles away even though it's only a hop, skip and a jump." Even if high-tech firms land employees from off island, they usually leave within 24 months, he says. To overcome that, Akimeka pairs local hires with certain engineers. The local people experience that type of work, which improves the odds of keeping those employees on Maui.
The island could soon produce more homegrown talent. Maui Community College ("I call it UH-Maui because it is offering baccalaureate programs") is rolling out degrees in applied business and information technology, a blend of both business and IT courses.

Is a church a place of public accommodation and if so – are congregations required to follow anti-discrimination laws regarding gender and sexual orientation?
That's the issue raised by a brochure published by the Iowa Civil Rights Commission. They contend that any church that opens its doors to the public would be required to comply with sexual orientation and gender identity laws.
It's unclear when the Commission's brochure was published, but it clearly outlines their interpretation of the 2007 Iowa Civil Rights Act – known as Iowa Code Chapter 216.

We check out the Switchmate, an easy to use no fuss solution for smart light switch control, powered by Bluetooth Low Energy and your wireless connection.
We have seen smart light switches come through the lab on a number of occasions, but this time around, we have a solution that takes mere seconds to setup and doesn't require electrical knowledge.
Switchmate started with an Indiegogo campaign a little over a year ago, fast forward to today, and they are in the midst of their retail launch and reached out to send a sample over for us to check out. The Switchmate is out of the box thinking at its best, instead of designing this solution as a full replacement for legacy mechanical switches, they have engineered this as a cover of sorts, which by using magnets, snaps on to existing rocker and toggle switches.
Switchmate uses BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) technology over Wi-Fi for a more direct secure connection, but they do have plans for a hub and possibly Internet access to your devices. MSRP of the Switchmate Smart Light Switch comes in at $39.99 with a one year warranty.
Packaging for the Switchmate is clean and professional looking. An image of the device covers the front with branding below.
The back shows several use cases along with compatibility with rocker and toggle switches.
Pulling the unit from its packaging, we have the device supplied with two AA Alkaline batteries from PKCell.
The front of the device has a single large push button that does have click feedback.
On the back, you can see the battery compartment at the bottom, while it appears a servo controls the plastic the moves your switch.
Above, we have the Switchmate installed - literally a two-second process.
Getting into the setup, the app was easy to find and free of cost on iOS.
Onto the process, it starts by telling you to push the green button.
After asking you what type of switch you have, we then move onto the next step.
The next step is letting the app find your Switchmate. This took several tries for me.
After it finds the Switchmate, it will activate the switch by turning it on and off and everything is ready to go.
Settings for the device allow you to setup a name and icon for the switch, which will certainly come in handy if you are using multiple Switchmate devices. You can also set up timers or have it turn on automatically when you come in range with the Welcome feature.
I have had the Switchmate for a few weeks now using it for the patio area. I assume this will be a preferred use for many as it will allow you to turn on lights before you exit your car at night or walk up to your front door. The build quality of the device is quite good, I haven't had any issues with the device, and it works every time it's pressed physically and in the app.
The app is straight forward and easy to use and the setup process, while it took me a couple of times to get it right, was just a few steps before I was ready to go. I would have liked to see the Switchmate come equipped with better quality AA cells but I'm sure they had to cut cost somewhere, and I'm glad it wasn't on the product itself. From what I have gathered and according to the Indiegogo campaign, there should be a gold and silver option coming to market along with this all plastic white on white solution.
Overall, while the Switchmate doesn't offer that flat integrated look some may want for their home, but it's hard for me to not recommend this just for its ease of installation and how well the app works.
The Bottom Line: While some will definitely want that clean flush mount look, for those that just want ease of use and a product that works, the Switchmate is for you.

Organic Farming for Habitat Restoration
Country: Zambia
Project Investment: $500.00
Sector: Environment
Working with a local agricultural and environmental cooperative, this project will construct an organic fruit orchard on an old maize field to promote crop diversification, environmental stewardship, and organic farming practices. Due to the harmful effects of having only been used to grow maize, the field is currently dormant and the soil cannot support any further growth, hindering agricultural productivity and food security for the community. However, by harvesting fruits, the community will be able to rehabilitate the nutrient-poor soil, as well as sell nutritious produce locally. A majority of the revenue from fruit sales will be reinvested into specific community-led reforestation and conservation projects, such as building a wildlife corridor and boosting ecotourism in the area.
Progress Update: 5/16/16
With assistance from the local youth group, the cooperative planted 250 orange trees and 250 strawberry plants. Around the perimeter of the orchard, the group planted Jatropha trees, which act as a natural herbicide and protect against wildfires. Additionally, Jatropha seed pods can be used as an alternative source of fuel. To increase the fertility of the soil, the cooperative used manure and planted 200 Musangu trees, which add nitrogen back into the soil. The cooperative waters the orchard on a regular basis and is excitingly awaiting their first harvest.
"The strawberries and oranges will help us start a business so we can sell to the stores in town. Now we will have an opportunity to help our families and pay for the uniforms and school fees our kids need." - Philemon, Project Participant
"We will finally have oranges. Only well off families can sometimes afford to give their children a bun roll with butter and an apple or orange for Christmas. We will have enough orange trees now to make money and give our children oranges!" - Amaik, Project Participant

Spring Boot Starters provides the facility to add only one jar file spring-boot-starter-web instead of adding 4 jar files.
Spring Boot AutoConfigurator: Main concept behind Spring Boot AutoConfigurator is to minimizing the programmer's effort to define lots of XML configuration. It will take care of all these XML configurations and annotations.
Spring Boot CLI: It is Spring Boot software which is used to run and test Spring Boot applications from command prompt. CLI refers to command line arguments. To execute a spring application, spring boot CLI uses Spring Boot Starter and Spring Boot AutoConfigurate components to resolve all dependencies.
Spring Boot Actuator: Spring boot actuator is a tool which provides HTTP endpoints. We can manage our production application using these HTTP endpoints.


Linux Kernel Archives is the primary site for the Linux kernel source. All Linux kernel versions, including latest snapshot or "release candidate" (-rc) can be easily found here.
The ARM Linux Project lead by Russell King. Russell is in charge to ensure the ARM core support in the Kernel mainline and to integrate ARM based system on chip specific patch sets.
The ARM-SOC git tree lead by Arnd Bergmann and Olof Johansson. It is the initiative that managed to unify the work being done on ARM-based SoC by different vendors.
The Linux-arm-kernel Mailing lists and the Linux-arm-kernel Archives .
The experimental AT91 patch set is built and contributed by people from the AT91 Linux community. These patches are against Andrew Victor patches. They contain unpublished or not yet included piece of code or driver.
Source : check the summary table below (last column).
Now you have to configure the Linux kernel according to your hardware. First identify your kernel revision, your board and then, download the corresponding configuration file.

Q: bash removing part of a file name I have the following files in the following format:
$ ls CombinedReports_LLL-*'('*.csv
CombinedReports_LLL-20140211144020(Untitled_1).csv
CombinedReports_LLL-20140211144020(Untitled_11).csv
CombinedReports_LLL-20140211144020(Untitled_110).csv
CombinedReports_LLL-20140211144020(Untitled_111).csv
CombinedReports_LLL-20140211144020(Untitled_12).csv
CombinedReports_LLL-20140211144020(Untitled_13).csv
CombinedReports_LLL-20140211144020(Untitled_14).csv
CombinedReports_LLL-20140211144020(Untitled_15).csv
CombinedReports_LLL-20140211144020(Untitled_16).csv
CombinedReports_LLL-20140211144020(Untitled_17).csv
CombinedReports_LLL-20140211144020(Untitled_18).csv
CombinedReports_LLL-20140211144020(Untitled_19).csv

I would like this part removed:
20140211144020 (this is the timestamp the reports were run so this will vary)
and end up with something like:
CombinedReports_LLL-(Untitled_1).csv
CombinedReports_LLL-(Untitled_11).csv
CombinedReports_LLL-(Untitled_110).csv
CombinedReports_LLL-(Untitled_111).csv
CombinedReports_LLL-(Untitled_12).csv
CombinedReports_LLL-(Untitled_13).csv
CombinedReports_LLL-(Untitled_14).csv
CombinedReports_LLL-(Untitled_15).csv
CombinedReports_LLL-(Untitled_16).csv
CombinedReports_LLL-(Untitled_17).csv
CombinedReports_LLL-(Untitled_18).csv
CombinedReports_LLL-(Untitled_19).csv

I was thinking simply along the lines of the mv command, maybe something like this:
$ ls CombinedReports_LLL-*'('*.csv

but maybe a sed command or other would be better

A: Without using an other tools like rename or sed and sticking strictly to bash alone:
for f in CombinedReports_LLL-*.csv
do
  newName=${f/LLL-*\(/LLL-(}
  mv -i "$f" "$newName"
done

A: for f in CombinedReports_LLL-* ; do
    b=${f:0:20}${f:34:500}
    mv "$f" "$b"
done

You can try line by line on shell:
f="CombinedReports_LLL-20140211144020(Untitled_11).csv"
b=${f:0:20}${f:34:500}
echo $b

A: rename is part of the perl package.  It renames files according to perl-style regular expressions.  To remove the dates from your file names:
rename 's/[0-9]{14}//' CombinedReports_LLL-*.csv

If rename is not available, sed+shell can be used:
for fname in Combined*.csv ; do mv "$fname" "$(echo "$fname" | sed -r 's/[0-9]{14}//')" ; done

The above loops over each of your files.  For each file, it performs a mv command:  mv "$fname" "$(echo "$fname" | sed -r 's/[0-9]{14}//')" where, in this case, sed is able to use the same regular expression as the rename command above.  s/[0-9]{14}// tells sed to look for 14 digits in a row and replace them with an empty string.

A: You can use the rename utility for this. It uses syntax much like sed to change filenames. The following example (from the rename man-page) shows how to remove the trailing '.bak' extension from a list of backup files in the local directory:
rename 's/\.bak$//' *.bak

A: I'm using the advice given in the top response and have put the following line into a shell script:
ls *.nii | xargs rename 's/[f_]{2}//' f_0*.nii

In terminal, this line works perfectly, but in my script it will not execute and reads * as a literal part of the file name.
