Carter and Human Rights, 1977–1981
Jimmy Carter campaigned for the presidency in 1976 promising substantial changes in the conduct of U.S. foreign policy. He intended to infuse a new morality in American diplomacy, one grounded in the pursuit of human rights.Carter made this cause explicit in his January 20, 1977, inaugural address: "Because we are free, we can never be indifferent to the fate of freedom elsewhere. Our moral sense dictates a clear-cut preference for those societies which share with us an abiding respect for individual human rights." The Carter administration thus articulated, devised, and implemented a human rights strategy that would serve as the cornerstone of Carter's foreign policy.

Criticism of human rights abuses in other nations served as an early indication that Carter's inaugural address marked an ideological shift in U.S. foreign policy. During the early weeks of the administration, officials spoke out against harassment and human rights violations in Czechoslovakia, the Soviet Union, and Uganda.When asked at a January 31, 1977, press conference if the administration would continue to address specific human rights issues or exert quiet diplomatic pressure, Secretary of State Cyrus Vance explained that the United States "will speak frankly about injustice, both at home and abroad," while avoiding strident and polemical language. Vance cautioned, though, that the administration would not "comment on each and every issue" but would comment "when we see a threat to human rights" and when it was "constructive to do so." The administration also linked human rights concerns directly to the conduct of foreign policy, including support for a bill halting importation of Rhodesian chrome and the reduction of foreign aid to other nations that did not display sufficient respect for human rights.
Carter further defined these efforts in a series of public addresses delivered in early 1977. These speeches also afforded Carter the opportunity to explain why and how his administration promoted human rights. Speaking before the United Nations General Assembly on March 17, 1977, the President asserted that the United States had a "historical birthright" to be associated with human rights. While the United States had not always lived up to this ideal, Carter identified several steps to rectify U.S. shortcomings "quickly and openly," including the liberalization of travel policies and the signing and ratification of international human rights covenants. In his May 22, 1977, commencement address, delivered at Notre Dame University, Carter drew a distinction between his policy and the policies of his predecessors, noting that they had pursued the "flawed and erroneous principles and tactics of our adversaries." As a result, the United States had moved away from its core values. The interdependent world of the 1970s required a "new American foreign policy" grounded in cardinal principles, including the "commitment to human rights as a fundamental tenet of our foreign policy." The Notre Dame address served as a comprehensive statement and justification of Carter's human rights policy.
Vance refined the policy in an April 30, 1977, address at the University of Georgia Law School. He promoted adherence to three human rights categories—the right to be free from government violation of the integrity of the person; the right to fulfill vital needs such as food, shelter, and education; and civil and political rights. Vance explained flexibility characterized implementation of policy, depending on the details of particular cases. The United States had to accept limits in pursuing human rights; a rigid approach to imposing U.S. values on other nations would not allow the United States to achieve its objectives in this area.
These public declarations coincided with and guided the administration's effort to translate Carter's commitment into a broader strategy. In May 1977, the administration issued Presidential Review Memorandum/NSC 28, which directed a review of U.S. human rights policy in order to define policy objectives, evaluate actions designed to improve rights, review national security considerations, and propose implementing actions. The completed PRM/NSC 28 study's recommendations formed the basis for Presidential Directive 30, issued in February 1978. Noting that a major objective of U.S. foreign policy should be the observance of global human rights, Presidential Directive 30 outlined specific guidelines for U.S. human rights policy and indicated the types of rights the United States would protect. The United States would use "the full range of diplomatic tools," including public statements, consultations with allies, and cooperation with non-governmental actors and international organizations. The directive linked economic and military assistance to the human rights records of the recipients; countries with good or improving records would receive favorable consideration, while those nations with poor or deteriorating records would not. Presidential Directive 30 thus formally defined U.S. policy on human rights.
Implementing the administration's human rights strategy required the Department of State to modify existing institutional structures. Legislation enacted during the Gerald R. Ford administration created the position of Coordinator for Human Rights and Humanitarian Affairs, located within the Deputy Secretary of State's office. The Office of Human Rights and Humanitarian Affairs also included a Deputy Coordinator for Human Rights and Humanitarian Affairs and coordinators for Refugee and Migration Affairs and POW/MIA Affairs.Carter selected Patricia Murphy Derian, a civil rights activist, to serve as Coordinator, upon the retirement of Coordinator James Wilson. By the end of 1977, the Department of State established the Bureau of Human Rights and Humanitarian Affairs and elevated Derian to Assistant Secretary for Human Rights and Humanitarian Affairs. Foreign Service officers with regional and topical expertise staffed the Bureau, which, over time, added additional offices for country reports, asylum, and refugee and migration affairs. Managing the human rights country reports process existed as one of the main responsibilities of the Bureau of Human Rights and Humanitarian Affairs. These reports on the status of human rights practices were initially limited to countries receiving security and economic assistance but later extended to apply to all countries. The Department of State released the annual reports to the public, and Derian testified before Congress concerning the administration's views of the human rights record of particular countries.
Managing human rights policy also required the administration to establish new coordinating and evaluation mechanisms. To ensure that all bureaus engaged on human rights issues, Vance tasked Deputy Secretary of State Warren Christopher with creating a Human Rights Coordinating Group (HRCG), consisting of Department of State officials at the deputy assistant secretary level, to serve as an "internal mechanism" for decision-making. Recognizing that the United States could not examine economic and security assistance decisions in a vacuum, Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs Zbigniew Brzezinski directed Vance and Secretary of the Treasury W. Michael Blumenthal to establish a group—the Interagency Working Group on Human Rights and Foreign Assistance—to evaluate, on a case-by-case basis, bilateral and multilateral aid decisions as they related to human rights and to provide guidance to ensure a unified government position on aid decisions. Brzezinski had also established within the National Security Council (NSC) a Global Issues Cluster responsible for overseeing issues such as human rights and arms control.
The Carter administration raised greater awareness of human rights concerns by connecting human rights to the execution of U.S. foreign policy. During 1977 and 1978 the administration articulated the policy in various public statements, devised guidelines for its application, strengthened existing structures for managing human rights, and created new institutional arrangements for applying human rights considerations to economic and military aid. These efforts continued to influence the administration's pursuit of human rights, even as the foreign policy crises of 1979 and 1980 required more of Carter's attention.

Heavy Medal Finalist – Vincent and Theo
January 23, 2018 by Roxanne Hsu Feldman 25 comments
Short List Title: VINCENT AND THEO (Titles on our short list will be included in the live Mock Newbery in Oakland.)
Vincent and Theo is not a book that I would casually pick up or leisurely read as entertainment. It would have been the book that makes me slightly groan, "Oh, really? Now I MUST read it all the way through?" when someone else nominates it for Newbery Midwinter discussion. It would also, ultimately, be the title that makes me feel incredibly lucky to serve on the Newbery Committee — because it allows and compels me to reach beyond personal and limited leanings to read more broadly and variedly.
And what a compelling read this is!
Steven details much of Heiligman's dexterity in shaping the tensely intimate and often melancholy tale of these two brothers in his first post for this year's Heavy Medal. He cites the effective recurring motifs, carefully constructed present/past tense verb uses, effective imageries and short sketch-like chapters, among other positive qualities of this title.
I want to echo all of these and add that the length and details (even repetitive ones) are necessary for readers to live in the brothers' skin and ultimately feel the profound impact of their joint fate.
This is the final page before the Epilogue:
VINCENT DIED in Theo's arms.
Theo dies alone.
Any reader who has taken this long and volatile journey through the duo-biography would simply have to sit back in deep contemplation for quite a moment and process the two brothers' influences on and devotion to each other.
I wonder how many Heavy Medal readers have read this title because it is on our short list. And how many would vote for Vincent and Theo as your top three?

"In the Margins" Committee Announces 2020 Book Awards Honoring Marginalized & BIPOC Youth
Top 3? This is my top 1, though I am open to age range arguments and willing to vote otherwise.
Question for past Real Committee members — How secret is the balloting? in the discussion do people indicate how they will vote? Or in later voting rounds, do people reveal how they voted before?
Leonard, I am not playing coy when I say that each winner comes as a surprise to me — whenever I serve on an Award Committee: whether the book is one that I've been secretly rooting for all year long, or whether it's a mind-change in that locked room over two days of intense discussion.
I often even surprised myself when finally casting the ballot and it is an absolutely secret, anonymous, and respectful process. Sure, everyone has a pretty strong inkling of each member's likes and dislikes. However, since it rarely is really between just a couple of titles, there is always room for strategically placed votes and even voiced opinions.
It is totally possible for someone to never voice any objection to a book but also to never vote for it. It is also totally possible for someone to champion loudly for a book and then decide in the 11th hour that the book actually has some fatal flaws and not vote for it. I also learned from the few times I served that too strong an opinion, voiced too frequently could be a total turn-off for others who do not quite share the same passion!
I am hoping that we will experience some of real-life tension in next week's Newbery 15 process!
Roger Sutton says
Roxanne is right that it's the quiet ones you want to watch out for. 😉
The ballot's been totally secret in my experience. Even as chair I never knew for sure who how people voted…just the vote totals, which were shared after the ballot (or ballots, if there was more than one). You might be able a pretty good guess at a couple people who voted for a particular book, based on vocal support, and a couple who did not vote for it, based on concerns expressed. But with 15 people, that leaves a lot unknown. And even if you're pretty sure one person cast a vote for one book, you don't know if it's 1st, 2nd, or 3rd.
Roxanne, I want to thank you for this comment: "I want to echo all of these and add that the length and details (even repetitive ones) are necessary for readers to live in the brothers' skin and ultimately feel the profound impact of their joint fate."
Because the length and age appropriateness is something I struggled with personally, the first time through this. It took me a long time to read. I wondered about the subject matter and the length together as being not really suitable for a child audience. But I think I agree with you, that this would not have worked as a shorter text. That breadth (or depth) is needed for true impact. And I hadn't really thought of that until you just mentioned it in your post.
I think this is without question, the most beautifully written text I have read this year. But I still wonder whether the style is suitable for a child audience. I read this feeling like Heiligman is walking me through an art gallery, describing this scenes from Vincent and Theo's lives as if they are works of art. It's a very sophisticated style. Are children going to get that? Furthermore, the subjects are both adults, dealing with very adult things. I understand that even kids could reflect on their relationships with their own siblings, but to the same extent of Vincent and Theo's impact on each other? I question that.
I think this is definitely a title at the far end of the age range and therefore, according to the expanded criteria and definitions in the manual, wouldn't one need to argue that this text is SO distinguished that anyone in that narrow age range should read it?
sam leopold says
My 6th and 7th graders have read this book and, in our recent mock Newbery election, it has received the gold medal. Their reason: more than any other book this year, it is highly distinguished in all the criteria areas.
Sam, thank you so much for sharing your students' feedback. It definitely helps with the "age" question. Do you know how they react to the inclusion of Theo's & Vincent's relationships with prostitutes?
This is, hands down, one of the best books I read all year.
And if, like me, you've ever loved someone who suffers from bipolar disorder (or, I'd argue, anyone with a severe mental illness), it is a *very* tough book to read. It dug up all sorts of painful memories for me.
Heiligman's writing is heads and shoulders above the rest. I'd argue it is nearly, but not quite, matched by THE WAR I FINALLY WON. The sentence level writing is crisp, clean, and uncluttered, and moves swiftly like the strokes of a paintbrush. Like any artist goes over details again and again, trying to get the right light, the right mood, so too does Heiligman. Therefore, the repetition is not only stylistically appropriate, but it is also metaphorical.
In our Mock Newbery group on campus, we spent quite a while discussing this title. We were very much split on age-appropriateness. A lot of the participants were hung up on the prostitutes. I wasn't. The sex wasn't explicit, it was implied. For me, VINCENT covers nothing that hasn't been mentioned in previous YA-ish Newbery medal winners (I'm looking at *you*, Jacob Have I Loved). Therefore, for me, there is no confusion of audience: yes, Heiligman is writing for older children AND teens. Both, not just one. I think her word choice and her sensitivity to things like syphillis (it's not like she describes the afflicted body parts) keep in mind the child audience.
Alas, our Mock Newbery team here dropped it from our working list. But I would be delighted if this won a Newbery medal (and the YALSA and the Printz). I think it's an uphill battle, though, for many of the reasons people have expressed here.
Also, I really want a nonfiction book to win. It's been too long!
Roxanne, thank you for your response. My sixth graders and I talk about a lot of serious social issues from the death penalty to Sexual harassment. So, the issue of the prostitutes was discussed and dealt with realistically and maturely. They thought it was a necessary part of the story in order to develop a close empathetic relationship with the brothers. They do not believe the inclusion of this issue creates a problem with the criteria concerning age.
I don't think the prostitution is an issue, especially for junior high. It's so delicately handled. But I also grew up in church so I knew what prostitution was before I knew what sex was. (No, I have no idea what I understood prostitution to mean!) It comes up in the bible so often that even elementary aged churchy kids I don't think would bat an eye. (That is a specific population though, of course.)
I learned a lot and thought the relationship between the brothers was really interesting. I particularly liked seeing Vincent as a kid and discovering that he wasn't recognized as gifted as a kid and that it took him awhile to get started painting as an adult. And that he had to learn things. I always kind of assume famous painters just picked up some paints one day and started making masterpieces. Which is dumb of me! So I found that all very encouraging and that part seems particularly relevant to a kid audience.
I was kind of confused on the age because the tone felt very MG with all of those short, declarative sentences. The writing felt choppy to me. Which is so surprising, because I'm generally a big fan of short sentences. And then I did get bogged down in the length or possibly the nonfiction-ness. Partially I was expecting it to be more narrative and it turned out to be more straight biography (and a lot of summary of letters). And a big part of it was my Kindle counted all of the endnotes in calculating the percentage, so it said I was 40-something percent done when I was around page 270! So I just kept feeling like I was making no progress, even though I was. But that is not the book's fault, of course!
My concern with this, and I really should go back and read more thoroughly is that I felt that while all the facts about the brothers were carefully laid out and documented, the art opinions were not. No making up history here, but surely the critics have varying views of Van Gogh's work and I felt that we weren't treated to anything but adulation. I'm not sure if this is a quibble that stands up. I need to go back to the text, but I remember being uncomfortable.
That's interesting, Carol. I took the art opinions to be the author's own descriptions, rather than an attempt at criticism. Although, actually, there were some in-story negative opinions presented, such as when Theo kept trying to get Vincent to lighten his palette and not thinking his work was ready to sell. And that big fight Vincent had with the painter that sent the letter criticizing The Potato Eaters.
If on the committee I would have to justify such statements. So I want to point out the difference between the quote of Vincent saying "they're immense stretches of wheatfields under turbulent skies, and I made a point of trying to express sadness, extreme loneliness"
p. 247 Vincent paints the view from his room in Theo's apartment: a cityscape, blues and greens and whites, red shutters. Light, happy, pretty. His perspective, his point of view.
p. 331 A painting Vincent makes during his time at Saint-Remy shows both his despair and his hope.
p. 349 He paints not in the colors if the Dutch masters, but in what has become his palette, one full of sun and color, rich and vibrant, the paint thick, tactile, reaching out, begging the viewer to touch Vincent's memories of home.
We ask that authors verify every statement that is attributed to the person being revealed, and Heiligman carefully shows her sources. But these seem to me to be statements we are asked to accept as truth, when they seem very much like opinions to me.
Carol, I see what you are saying. This is definitely the case where the author inserts personal observations & opinions in the presentation. What I am unsure is whether this authors crosses the line too far: since it seems to me that these are not opinions masked as facts. I envision that the readers (even young readers in 7th and 8th grade) will not take the line "begging the viewer to touch Vincent's memories of home" as "factual presentation." Some of these lines also seem to me interpretations of artwork, which fall in the theoretical, nonfictional, and informational space — as art history is full of critics' interpretations based on artists' life experiences. So, in a way, the biographer here is also an occasional art critic — which I see as a fitting element to be included in this book. Of course, I did not quite consider these aspects until you mentioned your objections.
Monica Edinger says
I want to agree with Roxanne here. I'm always aware that works of nonfiction have a slant, a bias, if you will. Heiligman's is very much here throughout the book in the sort of lines Carol quotes. In fact, I prefer authors to be upfront about this rather than suggest that the book is factual and without a POV. I think this underlying appreciation for the art and the brothers is one reason for me why this book is stellar and one of my favorites of the year. I don't see this book as one featuring art criticism at all so it seems the description of the art from the writer's perspective is apt and, in fact, is part of the sensibility of the whole thing.
"surely the critics have varying views of Van Gogh's work and I felt that we weren't treated to anything but adulation."
Carol, I am not sure whether the examples you cite were meant to support that specific statement, but I felt these examples are not so much personal, critical opinions but more in the genre of "art appreciation" which I think is appropriate for this book. Heiligman is not saying whether she thinks a painting is good or bad, nor do I think she is really presuming to say what Vincent's intentions were. To me, phrases like, "Light, happy, pretty", "shows both his despair and his hope", and "one full of sun and color, rich and vibrant, the paint thick, tactile, reaching out, begging the viewer to touch Vincent's memories of home" are descriptive statements, not really opinions, informed by Vincent's biography. Sure, the language is figurative, but that's hardly unusual. I think they fall in the same category as Garcia-Williams' description of music in CLAYTON BYRD. Katrina cited a sentence that includes the phrase "smooth chords." I think "smooth" is no different in function than "Light, happy, pretty." Roxanne quoted, "Electric blues sparks jumped out into the night." I think that works similarly to "full of sun and color, rich and vibrant." Garcia-Williams' personifying Clayton's music to say, "When, Cool Papa, when?" attributes the same quality to music that Heiligman does of a painting "begging the viewer to touch Vincent's memories of home." And I don't think fiction vs. non-fiction makes a difference here. For both, it's a time-honored way of describing visual or aural art for a non-technical audience.
I admire this book very much. I admire how wonderfully we get to see the brothers lives and the intertwining of those lives with the development of the art. I also appreciate the authorial voice in nonfiction. I prefer it to be in more " I " statements. I think for the Newbery especially, the reasons an author tackles a subject and their engagement and opinions about it need to be clear from the facts of the story they are telling. We don't let authors put words into their subjects mouths or imagine feelings and ideas without documentation. I think that the art is critical and want my own responses to get out of the way of the reader, and equally hope that the author doesn't have too heavy a hand in telling the reader how to respond to the art. Van Gogh's work does that so well on it's own, that it feels unnecessary to me to insert opinions.
All that said, it's a teeny tiny quibble about a book I really admire. Wonderfully executed in so many ways.
Brenda Martin says
Carol, I understand exactly what you mean about Heiligman's insertions in VINCENT AND THEO. I had a similar problem a few years ago with Candace Fleming's THE FAMILY ROMANOV. As incredibly researched as that book was, there were too many moments where I felt her authorial voice was directing the reader in one way or another, rather than letting them come to their own conclusions. Of course there must be opinion in any nonfiction book, but if it's too strong or not handled carefully it can be distracting or even off-putting.
I am not sure that interpretation or even articulating emotional reactions of art pieces comes naturally to everyone — so I don't feel that Vincent's artwork speaks as clearly to all viewers (especially since this is not a heavily illustrated/decorated, colorfully presented book) as Carol might believe.
VINCENT AND THEO left me in such a dark place it is hard to be objective. I get PTSD just thinking about it. There is no doubt the writing is solid, direct, and emotionally devastating. Heilgman does what she does with precision. I question the age range, not for the prostitutes but for the deep dive into mental illness. How much can, and should, a younger audience appreciate such a raw portrayal. Of course many young children have a front row seat and might find comfort in not being alone. I sure didn't.
We had our mock discussion and Vincent and Theo won for the Sibert. It did not win for the Newbery.. That may have been due to the fact we were voting on more than one award. We did a marathon session of Caldecott, Geisel, Newbery, Printz and Sibert. I do admire this book very much. I think that it deserved more of a focus on the art work. The insert seemed inadequate to me. BUT– I also can't imagine anyone reading this and not immediately going to a library or book store to get a more intense look at Van Gogh's art. A museum would be even better. I read this on my way to the Netherlands and was fortunate to be able to go to two museums there with collections of his work right after reading it. A great experience, that possibly influenced my take on the book.
I just had a Mock Newbery visit with sixth graders and many of them straight up said they didn't think they were old enough to really get this book. They said there was too much going on and it was overwhelming and depressing.
This is just one group of sixth graders, but it was a bummer for me as a big fan of V&T.
For context, the sixth graders ended up choosing MIDNIGHT WITHOUT A MOON as their Mock Newbery winner. Their honor winner was FOREVER, OR A LONG, LONG TIME. So it's not like they can't handle heavy stories.
I finished this one yesterday and I was so torn about it! It was really lovely. The prostitutes weren't what worried me about age appropriateness (and I loved the comment here about how kids who are pretty religious have read about prostitutes in Bible stories – SO TRUE!). I was a little surprised by the mention of STDs. Have syphilis and gonorrhea been in Newbery books before? I can't think of any off the top of my head!
I too have a question like what Carol mentioned. When it discusses the painting of the mill in great detail the text on page 164 says that this is THE image of Vincent's relationship with Theo . . . I wondered exactly how Heiligman was backing that up. It felt like a bold claim to make with no evidence (or maybe I missed the evidence? Can someone point me in the right direction)?
I think the Author's Note might be the place to look, as this seems to be an original contribution by Heiligman to the field. I don't have the book on me, but she says in her SLJ interview, "I describe my big "eureka" moment in the author's note—when I realized that Vincent's painting of a particular windmill is the painting of the brothers' relationship. I was writing about their walk to the mill when they were teenagers, the walk during which they made a pledge to each other. I wanted to see what the mill looked like, and I found the painting online. When I confirmed—by finding old photographs of the mill—that it was the same building, I screamed and threw myself on the floor. So yes, that was a "eureka" moment."
That makes sense, Leonard. I read the author's note first and didn't remember that part of it. Thank you!

OK with TB31, TB38, iPhone5 , Fairphone 2 (Android 5) but NOK with Samsung Galaxy S6 edge and S Planner (Android 6).
With SGS6, when modifying an event where a resource is accepted, then after a synchronization, the resource is in "Needs action" again.
I reproduced it with curl, and then verified my fix has corrected the issue.
To test, reproduce it with at least a Samsung GS6 with Android 6 because we know ir reproduces the issue. Also try with TB.
Tested on CentOS7 with curl and TB38.

Real Madrid to launch women's team for 2019-2020 season

After enduring criticism over their lack of a women's team, it appears Real Madrid will officially launch one in time for the 2019-2020 campaign.
According to El Mundo, Los Blancos reached an agreement with newly promoted local side CD Tacón to purchase their place in Liga Femenina Iberdrola, the Spanish women's top flight, for almost $342,000. The newly renamed team, Real Madrid Women, is scheduled to be announced by club president Florentino Perez before the end of the month.
They will join Real Sociedad, Sevilla, Espanyol, Levante, Real Betis, Athletic Bilbao, Levante, FC Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, in the league from September 2019 onward.

This news bodes well for women's soccer in general, which is steadily gaining popularity thanks to this year's Women's World Cup. Spanish FA general secretary Andreu Camps announced this week, according to 90Min, that women's soccer will receive at least 20 million euros in investment this upcoming season and every match featuring top flight sides will either air live on television or stream online. At least three second division matches will air, too.
Real Madrid's rivals, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona, have dominated women's soccer in Spain for several years now. Atleti has won the last three league titles, while Barcelona has been runners-up the last four years and reached the Women's Champions League final this past season.

InsuranceFundi | Happy 21st Birthday now you can get off my medical aid!
Happy 21st birthday now you can get off my medical aid!
When do kids stop becoming kids? "Never" I hear you chuckle! I don't have any of my own (just yet) but I have seen a couple of 40-year-old kids in my time! The problem is your medical aid scheme isn't going to allow your 40-year-old to remain on your scheme as a child dependent. So what's the cut off age then? When does a child dependent on a medical scheme become an adult dependent? More importantly, when do you start shelling out more money?
At age 21 (that's for most medical schemes in South Africa). So as soon as Johnny turns 21 not only are you going to need to fit the bill for his "op skop" but also start budgeting for additional medical aid premiums!
So does the scheme wait until the end of the year before the increase?
If it was your medical aid scheme would you wait? Don't be crazy! You would want to get more money in as soon as possible. Your medical scheme will charge you adult dependent rates as soon as your child turns 21. If Johnny's birthday is the 21st September and your medical aid collection date is the 1st October, expect an increase.
How much more could you be paying?
Again, it can vary from one medical scheme to another and also which plan type you are on but here is a quick matrix based on Discovery Health's 2012 rates. I've just pulled down a few plans to give you an idea of what it would cost you to have your child turn 21.
If you are on a mid-range medical aid plan bank on a 30% increase (give or take).

Q: Which event to use to get notified if entity is written to DB (postFlush)? I have an (Doctrine) entity in a Symfony4 project. What I'm looking for is something like a postFlush event (eg after it has been written to the DB).
I want to notify other systems that if a Customer is updated, I can dispatch a CustomerUpdated($customer->id) message unto my queues. I'm having difficulty finding the proper listener/eventhandler for this. The current problem is that the event is dispatched BEFORE the DB has written, so the consuming service asks info for an entry that doesn't exist yet (for like 2 seconds) or fetches old data as the DB isn't updated yet.
What I've tried:

*

*
class CustomerListener implements EntityListener {
   public function getSubscribedEvents(): array {
      return [ Events::postFlush ];
   }
   public function postFlush(){ die('looking for me?'); }
}

This does absolutly nothing and fails silently

*I also use the Events::postUpdate event, which doesn't work for new entries (the data isn't flushed to the DB yet, resulting in old data).

*I also use the Events::postPersist event for new items, which doesnt work because the data doesnt exists in the DB yet! (This is my current challenge).

*The Doctrine docs aren't telling me anything useful either (or im not seeing it).

*Off course I've tried researching this, but I cant seem to find anything.

What I'm looking for:

*

*Entity gets created OR entity gets updated

*Entity gets written to database

*NOW DO SOMETHING HERE. I dont want to alter the entity anymore, just notify other systems AFTER save.

Both the postPersist and PostUpdate are between point 1&2, and not suitable. I am aware that flush isn't entity specific, but I need something.
It could be I'm using a listener/eventSubscriber incorrect, at this point i;m seeing the forest for the trees.

A: I had difficulty finding an answer, so I'll answer myself:
There isn't an 'postFlush' event on entity level. There is only a global one, e.g. you get EVERYTHING that is being flushed, all entities for create, update and delete statements.
I've made an EntityFlushListener, which I've stripped to a M.V.P. for an example:
/**
 * This class listens to flush events in order to dispatch they're respective messages unto the queue.
 * There is no specific 'postFlush' event for an entity, so this is a global listener for ALL entities.
 */
class EntityFlushListener implements EventSubscriber
{
    private UnitOfWork $uow;
    private array $storedInserts = [];
    private array $storedUpdates = [];
    private array $storedDeletes = [];

    public function __construct(EntityManagerInterface $entityManager) {
        $this->uow = $entityManager->getUnitOfWork();
    }

    public function getSubscribedEvents(): array
    {
        return [Events::onFlush, Events::postFlush];
    }

    /*
     * We have to use the 'onFlush' event to get the entities to dispatch AFTER the flush, as 'postFlush' is unaware
     * Please note: duplicates will occur. Logic to fix this might need to be implemented
     */
    public function onFlush(OnFlushEventArgs $eventArgs): void
    {
        $this->storedInserts = $this->uow->getScheduledEntityInsertions();
        $this->storedUpdates = $this->uow->getScheduledEntityUpdates();
        $this->storedDeletes = $this->uow->getScheduledEntityDeletions();
    }

    /*
     * It has now been written in the DB, do what you want with it
     */
    public function postFlush(PostFlushEventArgs $eventArgs): void
    {
        dd(
            $this->storedInserts,
            $this->storedUpdates,
            $this->storedDeletes,
        );
    }
}

Anna Castelli Ferrieri's Componibili triple tiered modules, produced by Kartell, are functional and moveable modular storage for any home setting.
The Componibili modules have been designed to meet various functional needs and slot into any home setting, in the bathroom, bedroom, kitchen or living room. The design feature that brings the Componibili modular system to life is the simple and robust vertical overlapping of the single pieces, which, by way of a simple joint, form practical movable containers. The Componibili is available in two diameters. The smaller diameter is available as either double tiered or triple tiered storage units, while the larger diameter is a modular system. There are three pieces available, two separate storage units and a closure lid. They will stack in any configuration, only one closure lid is necessary per tower. The Componibili modules can stand on small castors. Flexible, functional and practical, Componibili modules have been in production for more than thirty years and have received much recognition for their pre-eminent and innovative design. They are also displayed at The Museum of Modern Art in New York and at the George Pompidou Centre in Paris.

Q: Batch edit in OpenRefine So, I have a bunch of .csv files which need cleaning. They all need to go through the same steps, so I've extracted OpenRefine's operation history in order to apply it to other ones.
I could open each file one by one in OpenRefine and apply the extracted JSON history. But there are a lot of files...
Also, I don't have enough memory to open them all at once in OpenRefine (multiple selecting when opening the files).
Is there any way I could edit them all or automatically using that JSON I extracted from OpenRefine?

A: That's what we created BatchRefine for, the README should be pretty much self-explanatory. If not, let me know.
I just recently converted 4 million CSV records to RDF using BatchRefine, took me less than 10 minutes on my MacBook Pro.
I execute BatchRefine with this simple shell script:
#!/bin/bash

for file in ./input/*.tsv
do
  filename=$(basename "$file")

  if [ ! -f "target/"$filename"-transformed" ]
  then
    echo Processing $filename...
    curl -XPOST -H 'Accept: text/turtle' -H 'Content-Type:text/csv' --data-binary "@"$file -o "target/"$filename"-transformed" 'localhost:8310/?refinejson=http://localhost:8000/bar-config.json'

  else
    echo Found "target/"$filename"-transformed", skipping $file
  fi
done;

Note that you need to adjust the Acceptheader in the script, I guess you want CSV as output again, not RDF.

A: You can automate some OpenRefine operations using one of the existing libraries:

*

*python

*An other python library

*ruby

*javascript - nodejs

Fighting Arena has always been popular with players in World of Warcraft, and it will return in version 8.15. In addition to bringing new leaders to the arena, a new crocodile mount, Bruce, was added. Bruce was once a leader of the Fighting Arena, Rank 1. In battle, Bruce will use the "bite" skill to attack players, and as Rank 1 leader, Bruce is not very difficult, most players can easily defeat it. Bruce, as a reward mount for a fight club, should be awarded in a way similar to the robust Mushan Beast of the previous version of the fighter, requiring players to complete the challenge of Rank 8 in the fight arena before they can buy it from a merchant. In the current database, Bruce has two distinct versions of the model. If you're confident in your abilities, start at the Fighting Arena.................................................

'Getting tough' will end Chicago's crime wave 'in one week,' says Trump
Craig M. Newman
As Chicago's murder wave continues to build, GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump says he has a solution that would end it "within one week."
That solution: Unshackle police and let them "get tough," a most unspecific remedy that seemed to take even Fox TV interviewer Bill O'Reilly by surprise.
In an interview on O'Reilly's show last night—the Chicago-specific portion of the interview starts at about the four-minute mark below—Trump was asked what could be done to curb killings, which so far this year are up almost half from last year at this time, rising to 441 from 296.
"I know it very well," Trump replied. "They don't have the right people in charge. . . .I know police in Chicago. If they were given the right authority to do it, they could get it done."
"How?" O'Reilly asked. The answer: "By being much tougher than they are right now. They're right now not tough. . . . When I was in Chicago, I got to meet a couple of very top police. . . .(One of them) said, 'Mr. Trump, I'd be able to stop it in one week.' And I believed him 100 percent."
MORE ON THE STORY:
• Donald Trump rally in Chicago canceled after protests, violence
• Rauner signs bill to punish gun trafficking
• After Chicago's deadliest day in 13 years, resisting the refrain of 'bad neighborhoods'
But did the top cop say how, Reilly asked. "No. He wants to use tough police tactics, which is OK when you have people being killed," Trump answered.
Reilly, who generally is not considered to be a civil-liberties hero, persisted, telling Trump that "you can't beat them up. You have to have a warrant to arrest them."
The response, "All I know is is this. I went to a top police officer in Chicago, who is not the police chief, and I could see by the way he was dealing with his people, he was a rough, tough guy. . . . He said, 'Mr. Trump, within one week, we could stop much of this horror show that's going on.' "
Trump did get specific on one point. He said he's urged City Hall to hire the guy.
"You know the expression, you have nothing to lose?"
Trump's remarks literally drew a sigh from police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi, who's had to deal with a series of somewhat milder Chicago crime remarks by Trump for much of the summer.
"No one in the senior command at CPD has ever met with Donald Trump or a member of his campaign," he said in a statement. "Beyond that, the best way to address crime is through a commitment to community policing and a commitment to stronger laws to keep illegal guns and repeat violent offenders off the street."
HINZ: After Crain's Future of Chicago event, I wish I could be optimistic
Somehow, I suspect Trump will tone down that "get tough" rhetoric if he decides to get serious about seeking the African-American vote. And I don't see him repudiating National Rifle Association support.
But I will add this: When people are scared, they do strange things. Mayor Rahm Emanuel and his police team do not have a handle on violence, and Trump is right that the main victims are blacks. In strange and fearful times, sometimes strange and fearful things happen.
Update, 4:45 p.m. — Fraternal Order of Police President Dan Angelo says he agrees with Trump—in part.
"Getting tough," or at least getting rid of needless regulations, "would be beneficial to getting us back to pro-active policing," something that some neighborhoods really need, Angelo said.
He pointed to new rules that require police to fill out a multi-page form every time they stop someone, even a known gang member, without arresting them. For instance, if police stop four people who hang out on the same corner every day in an apparent drug operation, they have to fill out a separate form for each of the four, something that can take the better part of an hour. Paperwork that state police use is much shorter, he said.
Another example: Using even minor laws, such as the city's anti-loitering statute, to get people off of the street. And hiring more police would help, too.
But, "It's not going to happen in a week," Angelo said. And, "we're not going to arrest our way out of this problem."
Translation: Community cooperation is needed. And that means police can't just blow in like an occupying army, much as Trump appears to support that idea.

Q: Could not find a method onClick(View) in the activity class TintContextWrapper for onClick if using themes I'm getting the Could not find a method onClick(View) in the activity class android.support.v7.widget.TintContextWrapper for onClick handler on view class android.support.v7.widget.AppCompatButton exception recently after adding the ability to select a dark or light theme for my app.
I do set the theme in the manifest and then I use following BaseActivity:
public abstract class BaseActivity extends AppCompatActivity
{
    private final int mLightTheme;
    private final int mDarkTheme;

    public BaseActivity(int lightTheme, int darkTheme)
    {
        mLightTheme = lightTheme;
        mDarkTheme = darkTheme;
    }

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
    {
        setTheme(MainApp.getPrefs().darkTheme() ? mDarkTheme : mLightTheme);
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    }
}

Any ideas what else could cause this issue? I got the issue from a device running 4.2.2...
NOT working solutions

*similar issues suggest to remove the theme tag from the xml file => I'm not using it in my xml, so this is not the case for me

A: For me magically worked setCompatVectorFromResourcesEnabled(true); like this:
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    AppCompatDelegate.setCompatVectorFromResourcesEnabled(true);
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    ...
}

Actually, it should be called only once and this could be done in Application class, not necessarily in Activity.
Honestly, I had this code line for other reasons but when tried to remove it, I got exactly this bug with onClick. So I put this line back and wow! Like a charm.

A: Change android.support.v7.widget.AppCompatButton to Button.
It will work for u.
Other way.
You can use setOnClickListener in Your Activity for Click event.

» Motorcyclist dies in crash involving SUV
Motorcyclist dies in crash involving SUV
On Behalf of Beem & Isley, P.C. | May 12, 2022 | Personal Injury
Now that the weather is getting warmer, many in Colorado who enjoy riding motorcycles are hitting the road. Although a practical, fun and economical way to get around, motorcycles offer little to no protection in a crash, especially one involving a larger passenger vehicle. Their small size also makes motorcycles harder for other drivers to see sometimes, and the result can be serious accidents that cause catastrophic injuries or worse to the motorcycle driver and any passengers on the bike. One man recently lost his life in an accident involving an SUV.
Accident details
The accident occurred close to 7 a.m. during the morning of May 10. A man was riding his Honda motorcycle southbound on College Avenue in Fort Collins when an SUV crossed in front of his path. The SUV was attempting to make a left turn off of College Avenue when the crash occurred.
The driver of the motorcycle, a 24-year-old man, suffered serious injuries and was taken to a local medical center, where he ultimately succumbed to his injuries. The driver of the SUV, a 44-year-old man, was not hurt in the accident. The coroner plans to release the identity of the deceased following notification of next-of-kin.
Legal recourse
Should authorities determine the SUV driver was distracted or otherwise acting negligently behind the wheel, surviving family members of the deceased motorcyclist can use that as evidence against him as they pursue wrongful death claims against the SUV driver along with anyone else who has ownership interest in his vehicle. Affected parties can work closely with an experienced personal injury attorney in Colorado to gain a full understanding of their rights and options. A lawyer will work diligently to help his or her client obtain the maximum amount of compensation permitted under the law.

There have been several other incidents at facilities in the past weeks, including a fire at the underground Natanz nuclear facility last month which caused significant damage, but Iranian officials said operations were not affected.
In an explosion at a medical clinic in the north of the capital Tehran in July, 19 people were killed. Officials said it was caused by a gas leak.

Is the pursuit for family, career, and freedom really worth it? If you're a working mom, you know that the quest to have it all is an endless battle that often leaves women feeling burnt out and unsatisfied in the end.
There are more opportunities available now than ever before for mothers wanting to enter or return to the workforce after having a child, and many women are choosing to pursue careers than stay at home raising their children. As a result, the pressures to simultaneously work and keep house tend to fall on the working mother's shoulders, making the concept of "having it all" as likely as winning the lottery. Is it possible to achieve work-life balance in the real world?
Anne-Marie Slaughter's controversial piece "Women Can't Have It All" captures the crippling reality that many women are forced to accept: sometimes, you can't have your cake and eat it too. Slaughter was a year and a half into her high-profile job as "the first woman director of policy planning at the State Department" when her career dreams came to a crashing halt. While she was flourishing in her career in Washington, D.C., Slaughter's family life back in Princeton, New Jersey seemed to be falling apart each and every day. In many of her lectures to women over the years, Slaughter reassured women that they could have it all – not knowing that she was making a promise that even she couldn't keep.
Accepting that her "all" just wasn't possible at that given time, Slaughter put her career on the backburner in order to tend to what mattered most – her two teenage sons and husband back home in New Jersey.
What she means is that the US just hasn't caught up with the rest of the world when it comes to helping working parents, especially working mothers, find work-life balance in their everyday lives. America may be considered a leading nation in the world, but its efforts to enrich the lives of its citizens resembles that of a third-world country, not a global economic powerhouse.
However, some working women still think that you can "have it all," but that it depends on what that "all" entails, according to the testimonies of the ten women that CNN.com interviewed. Senator Patty Murray, the senior United States senator from Washington, explains that she attains her "all" by putting family first in life, as she did when, without hesitation, she immediately left the office after receiving a call that her young son had a nosebleed at school. Despite flack from one senator on her way out, Murray left and tended to her son – only to be lauded by that same colleague for her decision to put her family first that day.
For Lauren Wolfe, an award-winning journalist, the perception of being an adult was shaped early on in life, as she observed her father come home every day dressed in a suit and carrying a briefcase. However, once she was in the working world, Wolfe realized that her reality of becoming an adult didn't mean that she had to follow in her father's (or a man's) footsteps or try to "have it all," so she paved a new path and pursued her "all" – journalism.
In our pursuit for finding work-life balance or "having it all," it's important to recognize exactly what you're going after because it will be greatly disappointing in the end if you discover that the dream you've been chasing only leaves you emptier and more unfulfilled.

This Victorian classic (394 pages) was published in January of 1970 by Wordsworth Editions. The book takes you to a manor house in England. Melissa read The Tenant of Wildfell Hall and loved it; it wouldn't be on our site if she didn't recommend it.
Anne Brontë, Peter Merchant
Anne sometimes seems doomed to be the forgotten Brontë sister, but this novel is essential reading: Most literary critics hail it as one of the first feminist novels.
It also happens to be a rollicking good read.
The story centers on Helen Graham, a woman struggling for independence and a safe, happy life for her son. She is — for reasons that will become abundantly, painfully clear — on the run from a shady past, and she takes up residence in the previously neglected Wildfell Hall.
Helen is a vexing and beguiling riddle to the townspeople, the object of intense curiosity and judgment. She soon becomes a favorite topic for tongue-wagging over tea. Beautiful, but unmarried, distant and laconic, she's an artist who sells her own paintings to make a living… how dare she?
Unlike Thornfield in Jane Eyre and the titular estate in Wuthering Heights, Wildfell Hall is not haunted by ghosts or memories, but it is damp, unwelcoming, in disarray — a reflection of the town's attitude toward Helen and Helen's own state of mind when she arrives. Even the garden has given way to weeds, and a boxwood shrub carved into a swan 'had lost its neck and half its body.'
The structure of the novel–essentially a long letter broken up with excerpts from a personal diary — gives it a touching intimacy and immediacy. Through the words of a potential suitor and Helen herself, we learn about the bitter events that brought her to Wildfell. Anne Brontë's writing style is a little more accessible than her sisters', and much of this novel feels quite modern.
Helen, our struggling heroine, is equal parts 19th-century stick-in-the-mud and badass role model: courageous, honest, determined, and self-contained. She's a strong lady who is resolute in her pursuit of the life she knows she deserves, and that makes her a timeless heroine.
Near the top of this hill, about two miles from Linden-Car, stood Wildfell Hall, a superannuated mansion of the Elizabethan era, built of dark grey stone, venerable and picturesque to look at, but doubtless, cold and gloomy enough to inhabit, with its thick stone mullions and little latticed panes, its time-eaten air-holes, and its too lonely, too unsheltered situation — only shielded from the war of wind and weather by a group of Scotch firs, themselves half blighted with storms, and looking as stern and gloomy as the Hall itself. — Anne Brontë
6 Classic Novels Set in Memorable Manor Houses
In literature (and life), a home is often seen as a reflection of a person's status, motivation and values — a nifty shorthand for conveying character. The stately manors in these six classics speak volumes.
8 Novels Set in Private Schools That Will Make You Glad You're a Grownup
Private schools can be like a psychology experiment about what happens when you jam x-number of kids into an enclosed environment and crank up the stress. It's agony for the characters, and such good fun for us.
