Announcing our first UCL Special Collections Visiting Fellow
ErikaDelbecque26 April 2019
We are delighted to announce that Dr Adrian Chapman has been appointed as our first Special Collections Visiting Fellow. The Fellowship programme is an opportunity for external researchers to visit UCL to conduct research on a topic centred on the Special Collections holdings. Its aims are to raise awareness of our collections and to facilitate new research into our archives, records and rare books.
Adrian holds a PhD from UCL, and currently teaches at Florida State University. He has published extensively on psychiatry and the counterculture of the 1960s.
He will be spending six weeks with us in summer working on his project 'Underground Psychiatry: R. D. Laing, Radical Psychiatry and the Underground Press'. Drawing on our unrivalled collection of Little Magazines and alternative press publications, Adrian will examine how the underground press circulated, contested and appropriated Laing's ideas in the 1960s.
Adrian will participate in the programme of workshops, talks and lectures run by the Special Collections Department. The events will be advertised on the Special Collections website and on our Twitter feed.

A Colourful Heritage: Multispectral Imaging Manuscripts and Rare Books from UCL Special Collections
Multispectral imaging involves capturing images of an object illuminated in ultraviolet, visible and infrared light. Capturing images in different colours, including light that is invisible to the human eye, can reveal features on the books which cannot usually be seen. This talk by Cerys Jones, final-year PhD student in Medical Physics at UCL, will present a brief introduction to multispectral imaging in heritage and show several examples of recovering lost features on manuscripts and rare books in UCL Special Collections.
Politics and Pedagogy: How I made use of the Woodcraft Folk Archive.
Rich Palser, a retired Further Education lecturer, is currently writing a book on the history of the Woodcraft Folk in the inter-war years which draws heavily on the organisation's archives now held at UCL Institute Of Education. He will be talking about the archive's relevance to his own interest in the relationship between politics and pedagogy, but also suggesting ways in which the archive may be relevant to the research of others.
Guests will be able to view a number of items for UCL Special Collections, including medieval manuscript fragments, material from the newly acquired Woodcraft Folk Archive, and an emblem book once belonging to Ben Jonson. There will be a brief colourful interlude, courtesy of our conservation team, and there will be plenty of time to enjoy a glass of wine (or soft drink) and nibbles, included with your £5 ticket. Click here to book your place now!

Special Collections project selected for Laidlaw research fellowship
TabithaTuckett9 January 2019
The prestigious international Laidlaw scholarship scheme has this year selected a UCL Library Services project to be among 33 research opportunities on offer to exceptional undergraduates across UCL.
The project is a collaboration between Rare-Books Librarian Tabitha Tuckett from Special Collections, and Professor Adam Gibson from UCL Medical Physics And Biomedical Engineering. It offers a current first-year undergraduate the opportunity to research the cutting-edge use of imaging techniques and analysis to answer historical questions about rare books, archives and records.
Using Optical Coherence Tomography to explore the 1st printed edition of Euclid's Elements (1482).
The work will make use of UCL Digital Humanities' new digitisation suite, and will build on collaborative research with Special Collections that has already used medical imaging techniques in innovative ways to explore damaged text, hidden manuscripts, early printing techniques, the materials of rare books, and more. Read about some of this research here.
Interested students can find out more about the opportunity with Special Collections here, and should apply by 20 January, indicating project 13. Under the scheme, selected students are paid to undertake supervised research for six weeks during two summers, as well as receiving leadership training during their undergraduate career.

'The Lover's Confession': students research Confessio Amantis fragment
This post contributed by Calum Cockburn and Lauren Rozenberg.
On the 8th and 9th December 2017, UCL Special Collections hosted the third workshop in the Digital Editing and the Medieval Manuscript Fragment series (DEMMF), organised and taught jointly by UCL and Yale postgraduates students to twelve graduate students (the majority of whom are UCL-based).
The workshop began with a lecture on UCL's manuscript fragment collection and a handling session held at the Institute of Education library led by Katy Makin (UCL Library Services). A huge variety of materials was on on display, including a leaf from a music manuscript, once thought to have been used as a binding for an Early Modern book; a thirteenth-century breviary with a charming inhabited initial; a Hebrew papyrus from the Book of Genesis; and a tiny piece of parchment with lines from Euripides' Medea. Examining these materials, the participants were introduced to the unique and complex challenges literary scholars and digital editors face in creating literary editions from medieval manuscript fragments, fragments that often vary considerably in size and shape, in the legibility of their scripts and hands, in the nature of their decoration and layout, and the amount of damage they have sustained during their different lifetimes.
The students examining the the Confessio Amantis fragment.
The ultimate aim of this workshop was the collaborative transcription, encoding and publishing of a digital edition of a four-leaf fragment of the Confessio Amantis 'the Lover's Confession' (MS FRAG / ANGL / 1), dated from the fifteenth-century and now housed in UCL Special Collections. This poem is a 33,000-line Middle English work by John Gower (d. 1408), a contemporary of Chaucer (d. 1400), whose compositions were particularly popular during the late medieval period. This text alone survives in 59 copies, one of the most copied manuscripts that survives to us, alongside the Canterbury Tales and Piers Plowman, written by William Langland (d. 1386). The Confessio uses the confession by an ageing love to the chaplain of Venus as the framework for a long series of shorter narrative poems, linked thematically by each of the 'Seven Deadly Sins'. UCL's fragment is unique in the collection in that its four leaves were given their own brand new binding at the turn of the twentieth century. It originates from Book V of the poem, concerning Avarice.
Two details from MS FRAG / ANGL / 1
To aid them in the creation of their edition of this text, the graduate students took part in a series of discussions and exercises concerning the palaeography and codicology of fragments, digital editing and TEI markup, the use of XML editing tools, most notably oXygen software, and project-based collaboration in the digital arena. Subsequent sessions across the two-day event focused on the teaching of common markup languages and the Text Encoding Initiative.
Subsequently, this expertise was used to mark-up and encode UCL Special Collections' Confessio Amantis. The fragment itself reflects issues frequently encountered by digital editors of manuscripts and fragments. Most significantly, the fragment's leaves are actually bound in the wrong order, an observation unrecorded in the manuscript catalogue itself.
Students and instructors examining the Confessio Amantis fragment and discussing its features.
The first folio ranges from lines 775 to 966 of Bk. V while the second one jumps to line 1735 continuing to 1926, before returning to lines 1159 to 1541 over the last two folios. Additionally, the fragment includes numerous small illuminated initials and marginal Latin glosses, separate from the main body of the text, and this raised questions across the weekend as to what the workshop participants should mark up and thus include in their edition itself. Such issues prompted the students to think about the nature of the text and the materiality of medieval manuscripts, and to consider fragments as objects rather than simply illustrated books.
Special Collections provided invaluable high definition images of the fragments. This helped students to prepare their own transcriptions of each manuscript page, and in addition better grasp the necessity for scholars of medieval manuscripts in the digital age. Digital reproductions can indeed alter our experience of the text in different and unforeseen ways. The finished digital edition of our own fragment will be published online at the end of this year, accompanying an edition of another item in Special Collections, a medical manuscript (MS / Lat / 7), transcribed and encoded during a similar workshop that took place during the summer.
The December workshop was made possible thanks to the support of UCL Doctoral School, the Octagon Small Grant Fund, the UCL English Department and Yale Beinecke Rare Book & Music Library. We're especially grateful to Katy Makin (UCL Special Collections Archivist), for allowing us access to the fragment collection and assembling these materials on the day, and to Dr. Alex Lee (UCL SELCS), for all her palaeographic expertise and help in the transcription of the document itself.
The DEMMF workshop was coordinated by Dana Kovarik (UCL PGR English). The team of instructors included Ph.D. students from a number of different departments and institutions. From UCL's Arts & Humanities and Social & Historical Sciences faculties: Calum Cockburn (UCL PGR English), Lauren Rozenberg (UCL PGR History of Art), Agata Zielinska (UCL PGR History). From Yale University: Gina Marie Hurley (Yale PGR Medieval Studies) and Mireille Pardon (Yale PGR) as well as Stephanie Azzarello from Cambridge University (Pembroke College, History of Art).

'Excavations' in the IOE's School Histories Collection
NazlinBhimani8 November 2017
The Newsam Library at the Institute of Education has a large collection of education institutional histories. These form a discrete collection and provide a rich source of information on individual schools, colleges and universities and their communities across Britain. The books and pamphlets mainly date from the early twentieth century up to the present day. Older materials, dating mainly from the nineteenth century, are held in the History of Education Collection in the closed stacks. This post focuses on the school histories which make up a significant part of the collection.
In anticipation of the half-day symposium on writing institutional histories, jointly organised by ICHRE (International Centre for Historical Research in Education) and FNLA (Friends of the Newsam Library and Archives), we present a guest blog by Dr. Barry Blades on his use of the IOE's School Histories Collection to write his book, Roll of Honour.
Blades, B., 2015. Roll of Honour: Schooling and the Great War 1914-1919. Pen & Sword Military, Barnsley, South Yorkshire.
The School Histories Collection consists of hundreds of monographs of individual British schools, covering a range of institutions spanning the educational spectrum. The voluminous histories of elite public schools stand next to brief studies of charity schools for waifs and strays. Publications marking the centenaries of ancient grammar schools are shelved next to accounts of elementary schools which no longer exist or have been absorbed into other institutions. A school's place in the hierarchy of schooling is generally mirrored by the status of the publishing house which was commissioned to tell its story. Many of these histories – the vast majority relating to English, Welsh and Scottish institutions – were written by alumni: former pupils, teachers (especially retired Deputy Headteachers) and governors determined to place on record the distinctive development and particular achievements of their alma mater.
It is easy for the outsider to criticise the esoteric, celebratory and partisan nature of these histories. The great majority were intended primarily for the school community itself. Few beyond the immediate community would identify the school in question from headline titles such as Where the Fat Black Canons Dined, Further Up Stephen's Brae, or Hyacinths and Haricot Beans. Subtitles were generally more informative. These histories were aimed predominantly at a readership already familiar with the institution, namely the 'Old Boys' or the 'Old Girls'. An institutional history might cover hundreds of years, but in most there will be at least one section for the alumnus which refers to their particular period of attendance and school life as they experienced it. Headteachers inevitably dominate the story. The tenures of these deified – and very occasionally demonised – individuals commonly provide a chronological structure to a story of growth and development. Teachers, and especially those with nicknames deriving from their idiosyncratic mannerisms or behaviour, are fondly remembered. Heroic deeds on the playing field and battlefield are fixed in print and validate memories of achievement and loss. Narrative triumphs over analysis.
Yet, what may at first appear to be the greatest weaknesses of published school histories is, for the historian investigating the history of education more generally, their greatest strength. The rich detail, the human stories and the relatively obscure anecdotage contained therein tell us so much about the ethos, culture and formative traditions of individual institutions. These 'secondary' sources thus become a form of 'primary' material when the researcher asks questions relating to continuity and change and similarity and difference in any given period or aspect of schooling. Many of the histories were, of course, constructed using primary sources, their authors making full use of the archive material still retained by many institutions. School logbooks, magazines, headteachers' annual reports, governors' minutes, the records of alumni organisations, and ephemera including school photographs and fixture lists are the real archival treasures upon which these broader accounts are based.
Roll of Honour, the first book in the Schooling and the Great War trilogy, includes material from over one hundred such histories and drew ideas and inspiration from many more. Wherever possible I used extracts which were evidently drawn directly from the institutional archives. Other material was subjected to the usual tests of authenticity, accuracy and reliability. School histories vary considerably in their coverage of national events. This was particularly noticeable when searching for references to the Great War of 1914 to 1919. A few histories cover the wartime years in detail. In others, there is little or no reference at all to the impact of the war on the daily life of the school or even to the conflict in general. In many, the wartime experiences of alumni take centre stage. Taken collectively, however, these histories formed a major component of my research; an evidence base which could be cross-referenced and triangulated with material from other archival collections, official publications, newspapers, contemporary autobiographies, printed secondary works and digital resources.
For the researcher who wants to find out more about how different institutions created, developed and maintained their distinct cultures and particular identities, then dig deep into the School Histories Collection. For the researcher who wants to discover how institutional imperatives tempered directives from national and local authorities, or how schools responded to national and local economic and social circumstances, then test your hypotheses in the School Histories Collection. For those of you who are historians of the school curriculum, or teachers and teaching methods, or pupil origins and destinations – or indeed any given period or particular aspect of British schooling – I can assure you that delving into the School Histories Collection will be most rewarding.

Battle of Wake Island
by WW
On the 7th of December 1941, the Empire of Japan began its infamous assault on Pearl Harbor which would bring the U.S. into World War 2. Simultaneously, the Japanese began an assault on Wake Island: attacking from the air with bombers, the assault destroyed several U.S. Marine fighter planes. Being across the International Date Line from Pearl Harbor, the assault on Wake Island technically began on the 8th of December 1941, though it was only a few hours after the raid on Pearl Harbor.
Aerial assaults continued, with Japanese bombing raids taking place on the 9th and 10th of December 1941. To confuse the Japanese, U.S. forces removed several of their weapons installations, replacing them with wooden decoys, which were targeted by Japanese planes. Despite their attempts at deception, the Japanese assaults managed to cause heavy damage to equipment and structures on Wake Island.
On the 11th of December 1941, the Japanese South Sea forces attempted their first landing on Wake Island. The Japanese naval convoy which assaulted the island consisted of six destroyers, two converted patrol boats, three light cruisers and two troop transport ships carrying roughly 450 Special Naval Landing forces.
The U.S. Forces stationed on the island successfully repelled the first Japanese assault, sinking two of their ships using their 5-inch (130 mm) coastal artillery guns to fend off the naval convoy. The Japanese destroyer "Hayate" would earn the distinction of being the first Japanese ship sunk during the war.
Despite their successes in repelling the Japanese landing force, Wake Island remained under siege by the Japanese blockade and the island found itself under frequent aerial bombardment.
On the 23rd of December 1941, the Japanese began another assault. The convoy consisted primarily of the same ships used on the 11th of December raid, reinforced with two carriers and 1,500 Japanese Marines. Despite stiff resistance by the U.S. forces, after a full night and most of a day spent in fierce fighting, in the afternoon of the 24th of December 1941, U.S. forces surrendered to the Japanese invaders and the Empire of Japan took control over the island.
During the 15 day siege on the island, U.S. casualties were reported as 47 killed and 2 missing in action. The remaining forces surrendered and were taken into Japanese custody, many sent to labor camps to endure forced labor. The capture of Wake Island is reported to have cost the Japanese nearly 800 dead and more than 300 wounded.
Wake Island would be held by Japan for the duration of the war. After the Japanese defeat following the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the remaining Japanese forces on Wake Island surrendered to a detachment of the U.S. Marine Corps on the 4th of September 1945.

What is the "private traffic"
In September last year, Huang Hepi Beauty Beauty Blogger and Cosmetics VNK launched the first personal IP eye shadow tray, which was sold at the personal website of Mao Mao. It sold for 5 minutes and sold out of stock. The revenue exceeded RMB million. One month later, I joined hands with the makeup brush brand, and the personal IP makeup brush with a unit price of 149 yuan broke the million sales in 30 seconds, while his personal online store had a revenue of about 3 million yuan in half a year. In other words, private domain traffic takes only 30 seconds, which creates a daily 2 month performance.
What is private domain traffic?
From the attribute point of view, private domain traffic has four characteristics, first, the user is his own; second, can be used repeatedly; third, can be used free of charge; fourth, can directly reach the user. Corresponding to the private domain traffic is the public domain traffic, and the two distinguishing features of the public domain traffic are that the traffic is owned by the platform, the user only flows, and the traffic pool is funnel-shaped; it needs to be used for payment, and the more expensive it is to buy ( As shown in the figure, see page 26).
Private domain traffic refers to WeChat's personal number and community in most contexts, but the definition of private domain traffic is not limited to this. In addition to WeChat, other platforms also have certain private domain attributes. If you sort by the private domain attribute of the platform, the first one should be WeChat, the second one is fast, the third is QQ, and the fourth is vibrating. The fifth place is station B.
The above value ranking reflects the development of private domain traffic on various platforms at this stage. There is no doubt that WeChat is the largest private domain traffic carrying platform. Second is the fast hand, the fast hand has a relatively large potential in the sinking market. The third is QQ. QQ currently has certain advantages in low-age users and middle-age users. The number of students using QQ is significantly higher than that of using WeChat. Some users are netizens who are older. They have already Formed the habit of doing business with QQ office. The number of users of the vibrato and B stations has risen rapidly in the past two years, and the two platforms are basically more focused on video attributes.
However, when it comes to private domain traffic, it is mainly the personal number and community of WeChat. why? First, WeChat is a social platform. The high-frequency attributes of social and user duration are the two advantages of WeChat. According to the relevant data, the average user usage time of WeChat is about 70 minutes, which is the longest on all platforms. Secondly, WeChat covers the widest range of users, and its monthly life has reached 1.1 billion. In addition, platform attributes are also a big reason. WeChat is an open platform that emphasizes decentralization, which leaves a lot of free space for third parties. In addition, mature WeChat payment enables transactions on the WeChat platform to form a closed loop.
The traffic is focused on the WeChat personal number and also benefits from the personal characteristics of the personal number. The personal number can be used to expose some products through the circle of friends, and can also establish group and private chat. The personal number provides a perfect infrastructure for the merchant to establish transactions. Therefore, the WeChat personal number has become the most important carrier of private domain traffic. Other platforms such as fast hand, vibrato, B station, etc., can also obtain a large amount of traffic under the premise that the content is well done.
It must be recognized that the so-called private domain traffic is actually built on the public domain traffic platform. If the platform is a large river, then the private domain is a small pond in front of its own house, but it is not "independence", but closely related to the ecology of the entire large platform. On the one hand, private domain traffic cannot exist independently from the platform. On the other hand, it means that private domain traffic needs to operate a good platform relationship, otherwise there will be certain risks.
Why is private domain traffic hot?
The most fundamental reason for the rise of private domain traffic in 2019 is the loss of traffic costs due to the disappearance of the Internet demographic dividend. Private domain traffic first appeared in the Taobao ecosystem, but it has been tepid for quite a long time. Privately, some people are doing private traffic, but the concept itself is rarely mentioned. Not long ago, the new list released the semi-annual report of the content industry, and statistics on related articles related to private domain traffic in the database, and found that the reading volume increased by six times compared with the beginning of the year, which shows the popularity of private domain traffic in the past six months. . Since 2018, the growth of mobile Internet users has been greatly slowed down. The key words for the whole 2018 are fission growth and sinking. In fact, the sinking market can be regarded as the last wave of traffic dividends of the entire mobile Internet. Whether it is fission growth or sinking the market, it is actually infiltrating into places with lower flow values.
The rise of the concept of private domain traffic in 2019 is closely related to the depletion of traffic, from flow to retention. The flow of the former refers to the flow of water, while the latter refers to the retention of retention. The whole market has also changed. In the past, it was traffic thinking, such as the purchase of 10,000 yuan of traffic, which may eventually bring about 20,000 yuan of conversion, which can maintain the normal development of the business. However, with the increase in traffic costs, the investment of 10,000 yuan, and finally only 5,000 yuan conversion, which will lead to unsustainable business model.
The value of the private domain traffic of
the nature of the private domain traffic is SCRM, namely socialization customer relationship management. The value of private domain traffic is summarized in one sentence. Through the management of user relationships, the conversion rate and the repurchase rate are improved, thereby reducing the marketing cost of the enterprise, maximizing the lifetime value of the user, and ultimately improving the operating efficiency and profit level of the enterprise.
There is a difference between private domain traffic and micro-business. Relying on the circle of friends and personal number for merchandising, the earliest starts with micro-business. In the past few years, Weishang has obtained a lot of profits through this model, but the micro-business is in the negative of public opinion. The reason is that the micro-business is not standardized, including product quality problems, lack of after-sales problems, and multi-level distribution. Into the MLM mode, etc. If the micro-business is not standardized in operation, the core of Weishang's business is to transfer the channel from offline to online. The focus has changed from offline stores to online people, and people are regarded as a flow node. Thereby improving operational efficiency in the retail sector. Objectively speaking, the private domain traffic currently discussed borrows the patterns and styles explored by the micro-business, but it needs to make qualitative changes in the normative nature of the operation.
Play private domain traffic of
the core domain of private micro-channel flow is now private domain traffic layout already have a comprehensive set of modes, including a personal number + community + public number + + applet five in one mall. First of all, the most important thing is the personal number. The personal number is exposed through the circle of friends, and the person is set to create a daily message in the circle of friends, such as publishing a person's daily emotions and sorrows, so that the user can generate the operator behind the personal number. A clearer understanding, which enhances the trust of users and facilitates the entire transaction.
In terms of community, it is more suitable for one-to-many interaction, and through a certain marketing means to create a pressing atmosphere to promote user purchase, and through various means to do fission, free access to users, this is the main value of the community. In terms of the public number, WeChat divides the public number into two types: subscription number and service number. The subscription number emphasizes the value of the content, obtains the user by outputting high-quality content, and then uses the user to realize the traffic. The service number has more development interfaces, and the service number is more valuable for enterprise merchants. For example, the push function can be used as a marketing touch, the tool development can be a service, and the template message can be used as a service tracking. The service number itself is equivalent to a light app, and the user only needs to pay attention to it without downloading, which greatly reduces the cost of the customer. The brand value and import value of the service number are gradually increasing and are becoming a very important part of private domain traffic.
The small program was first proposed by WeChat. As a new tool system, it has a very large experience optimization compared to H5, and the business development of small programs requires official review, and also gives users a stronger sense of trust. Before the small program, a large number of transactions were completed through the H5 mall. At present, everyone has chosen the small program mall more, but H5 Mall still has its advantages, it is self-controllable and easy to modify.
The systematic play of private domain traffic is a trend, such as the perfect diary, they created a small ball of beauty makeup, through the circle of friends and community to send beauty tutorials, product information, promotions, etc., and then enhance their transformation and Order. Private domain traffic is not zero cost. Its biggest cost comes from operating costs, that is, labor costs. Of course, it also includes the cost of some operating activities. In a way, you can understand that private traffic is turning the past marketing budget into an operating budget. As for the cost of private domain traffic compared to the public domain traffic, it is difficult to define, but some time ago, Tencent Smart Retail and BCG have done some research on offline retail, they believe that through the operation of private domain traffic, The turnover of the entire store can rise by more than 30% year-on-year.
However, private domain traffic also carries certain risks. On July 2, Micro-Envelope banned a WeChat personal number that is said to have millions of fans. They said that the reason for the ban was because of the use of various marketing plug-ins, which destroyed the entire WeChat ecosystem. Private domain traffic is a double-edged sword for WeChat platform. On the one hand, if marketing behavior is rampant, it will reduce the user experience within WeChat ecosystem. At present, some users have abandoned the circle of friends, which is unfavorable for the development of the entire WeChat ecosystem. On the other hand, consumption has become a very important part of contemporary social life. If a large number of consumption and trading behaviors occur within the WeChat ecosystem, the value of WeChat will be further enhanced. Therefore, WeChat officially is also strengthening the research and development of Enterprise WeChat while cracking down on WeChat marketing. In terms of private domain traffic, WeChat officials believe that congestion is not as good as it is, and the official will intentionally divert private domain traffic to corporate WeChat.
The development of enterprise WeChat is a good thing for private domain traffic, because if there is no official license, the risk of doing private domain traffic is always there. If the official introduction of a basic tool, it will greatly reduce operational risks, especially for big brands, private The scale operation of domain traffic will become more logical.
Test the water flow giant private domain
concept of private domain traffic was first proposed by Ali, but Ali is a platform to perform ad cash flow through the sale, if it encourages businesses to do private domain traffic, in fact, it is different with the existing business logic It may reduce its demand for public domain traffic. This is one of the important reasons why we analyze why private domain traffic has not developed well in Ali's ecology. Of course, Ali itself is also advocating private domain traffic, the logic may be by making the entire plate bigger, and finally depositing a large number of transactions to themselves.
In the past few years, Ali has done a lot of things in Taobao's content, including the Taobao headlines and the relatively hot Taobao live broadcast in the past two years. It is hoped that the introduction of content will enhance the use of Ali's eco users. In the past, when we were shopping on Taobao or Tmall, we basically used it when there was demand. Now, through some content construction, Ali creates demand when users don't need it, thus increasing the number of transactions on the platform.
It is foreseeable that private domain traffic will become the focus of enterprise development in the next 5-10 years, especially in the economic downturn, the revitalization of stock is an important driving force for a company to survive. Who can play private domain traffic, who will be more competitive in the future.

Gabrielle Union Shuts Down Critics Slamming Her For Cheating Comments
January 20, 2023 | Shivangini Rawat
Gabrielle Union's recent admission that she felt entitled to cheat on her first husband infuriated fans. Chris Howard who is a former NFL player was her husband for five years. Gabrielle is not backing down in the face of criticism and has some advice for people who are condemning her recent words regarding infidelity.
The Bring It On star told Entertainment Tonight on Thursday that, "if you're gonna get your panties in a twist about something I've been talking about since 2005 — in not one but two New York Times best-selling books — at least listen to the whole thing." Her comments came after her appearance on the Armchair Expert podcast sparked a barrage of criticism from keyboard warriors. "Just so you know where your anger actually is," she went on rolling her eyes.
Union suggested that "people really felt anger that a woman would dare be just as dysfunctional as a man" referring to her own description of her "dysfunctional" past union. During an appearance on Dax Shepherd's podcast on January 2, the actress stated that she was "paying all the bills" when married to former NFL player Howard from 2001 until 2006.
"I was working my ass off, and I felt like that's what comes [with it]," she admitted, calling infidelity "the spoils of riches." Union accused Howard of infidelity as well, claiming that neither of them believed their marriage "should get in the way of our dating." The author of 'We're Going to Need More Wine' went so far as to suggest her cheating phase began in part to "keep up" with her then-husband's activities.
"I was like, 'Oh, that's what you're doing? Oh, you're gonna feel this one,'" she recalled before calling the relationship "stupid." Shen then went on to say that "it should have never gotten out of the dating phase," adding that the pair had "not one thing in common — no morals, no values, no scruples." Union discovered love with former basketball star Dwyane Wade after her divorce from the retired athlete.
The couple married in 2014 and welcomed their daughter Kaavia through surrogacy in 2018. Let's see how much hatred she receives in response to her latest comments aimed at her critics. Keep an eye on Thirsty for the most latest updates.

Q: how I can read a from taglib to <% ... %> could you help please?, how I can read the variable objd in a <% ... %> Assigned in the foreach?
            <c:forEach var="objd" items="${beanDreqproducto}">
                <%
                Gson j = new Gson();
                String data = j.toJson(objd);

                console.log("${objd.cantidad}, data: "+'${data}');
            </c:forEach>

A: The ${} basically translates to PageContext#findAttribute(). So, this should do:
<%
    Object objd = pageContext.findAttribute("objd");
    // ...
%>

Note that you should set data in page scope as well in order to get ${data} to work:
<%
    // ...
    pageContext.setAttribute("data", data);
%>

*Our EL wiki page

Unrelated to the concrete question, this approach is ultimately bad. You should choose to use either JSTL/EL or scriptlets exclusively, not both. If you prefer JSTL/EL, just create a custom EL function to do the desired job, so that you can end up something like as follows:
<c:forEach var="objd" items="${beanDreqproducto}">
    console.log("${objd.cantidad}, data: ${my:toJson(objd)}");
</c:forEach>

Our EL wiki page contains a section how to create EL functions.

Iván Fischer, music director and co-founder of the Budapest Festival Orchestra
From the intimacy of Bartók's merrymaking peasants to the epic scale of Mahler's Fifth Symphony, the Budapest Festival Orchestra's programme seemed designed to show off their many, diverse talents.
The orchestra began with a breezy journey to their native countryside with a delightful account of Bartók's Hungarian Peasant Songs, revealing the full, rich sound of the 58-strong string section.
Standing in for Joszef Lendvay, soloist Barnabás Kelemen's first movement of Bartók's First Violin Concerto, which the introverted Hungarian composer wrote as a love letter to the teenage violinist Stefi Geyer, was full of tenderness and bittersweet yearning. Kelemen returned for two showy encores; a Bach Sarabande and a brief, break-neck Paganini piece.
After the premiere of his Fifth Symphony, Mahler is reported to have complained that nobody understood it. Music director Iván Fischer, who co-founded the Budapest Festival Orchestra in 1983, has become a major Mahler interpreter and proved to be an expert guide. Every section of the orchestra responded to Fischer's direction with verve and precision. The slow first movement was exquisite in its unremitting melancholy, paving the way for the life-affirming central Scherzo.
Fischer does things his own way, from arranging the double basses on a platform high above and behind the rest of the orchestra to inviting principal horn player Zoltán Szőke to take centre-stage for Mahler's Scherzo. Far from a showman's gimmickry, his musical innovations worked to great effect, not least when Szőke turned the bell of his instrument into the audience.
Their Mahler was thrilling and richly-textured, a performance of phenomenal power which kept the capacity audience enthralled for more than an hour.

Oakland Theater Project's 'Begin the Beguine' reveals the inner lives of four Black women
by Amelia Williams, Bay City News Foundation July 1, 2021 July 1, 2021
Don't let anyone tell you differently — there's magic to be had in a parking lot. For the last three weekends, tucked between murals of a skinless tyrannosaurus rex and a collage of Bay Area iconography, actors from the Oakland Theater Project have gathered in the lot behind FLAX Building on Martin Luther King, Jr., Way to make history inhabiting worlds shaped and written by Kathleen Collins, a multidisciplinary artist who wrote films, plays, diaries and stories that explored class, racial tension, gender dynamics and, perhaps most importantly, Black women as whole, imperfect beings of yearning. The show, "Begin the Beguine" comprises four non-linear one-acts performed back to back without intermission, as co-director and lead actor Dawn L. Troupe takes the audience through the lives and ruminations of Black women in spaces and time of what could be Manhattan, or it could be your neighborhood, the park by your house, the apartment building down the street. Troupe stars in each work, with Michael Socrates Moran as co-director and supporting characters played by Margherita Ventura, Leon Jones and Benoit Monin, whose presences frame how the internal languishing of Collins' leads extends beyond their bodies.

Things have turned against M. S. Dhoni after a sequence of unexpected performances by the Indian cricket team. Now, it's a challenge for him to beat the speculations and stand above all the blunders. But, will he be given the chance to do so? Will Dhoni be able to retain the captaincy of Indian team? Find out with Mrityunjai Ojha's prediction.
M.S. Dhoni: A View From Behind The Stumps!
Being the Captain of the National Squad for the longest tenure, Dhoni has to now face the brunt of testing times. With a 50-over World Cup, a T-20 World Cup, CWG Cup and some more records in his pocket, M. S. Dhoni is now suffering to find a safe place beneath the stumps. Now, let's take a look at his current captaincy records in Test Matches. Yes, that's the mode of cricket where his captaincy is under the scanner.
Captaincy Record in Test
Venue Span Matches Won Lost Tied Draw
At Home Venues 2008–2013 30 21 3 0 6
At Away Venues 2009–2014 26 6 12 0 8
TOTAL 2008-2014 56 27 15 0 14
If one takes a look at the statistics, it is worth noticing that his weakness to control the team under foreign conditions can easily be pointed out. Moreover, he has not won a single test series outside the country since last three years. Foreign assistance, a sophisticated coaching staff could do no wonders to his stats during all these years. Now, it's time to look forward to the Cricket World Cup 2015. The tournament is to be held at Australia and New Zealand; that means another abroad challenge. So, will Mahendra Singh Dhoni be the perfect choice to captain the team for the series? Will Dhoni be able to retain his captaincy after going through a phase of blunders? Let's know through astrology.
Will Dhoni Be Able To Retain His Captaincy?
Rather analyzing his birth chart, we will prefer KP horary system for specific answers.
Question: Whether Dhoni will be able to retain his captaincy for India or not?
Horary no: 14
Time of Judgment: 22nd
Ayanamsa: KP New
Rahu Position: Mean
Place: Ahmedabad, India
Rule: If cuspal sub-lord of 10th cusp/house signify 1, 5, 9, 12 houses, chances for losing the current position in career is there. But if 10th cuspal sub-lord is signifying 2, 6, 10, 11 houses, betterment in career is indicated.
In this horary chart, we found that 10th cuspal sub-lord is Mercury 3, 5, 6 and placed in star of Venus 2, 4, 7 in sub of Rahu, who has occupied 6th house. So, negative house like 5 is there, which will create the problems. But signification of 2, 6 houses will help him to manage the current position.
Anyway 4th house is also there, so public support is still there with Dhoni and connection of 2nd house with 7th house is indication of gain from opposite party/competitors because there is no strong competitor against Dhoni. As Mercury is placed in sub of Rahu (6), so sub-lord is the deciding factor and Rahu is supporting him, being placed in 6th house. So, MS Dhoni will be able to retain his position as Captain of Team India.
Best of Luck to Dhoni and Team India for upcoming matches!

It's a book about artists and technology and platforms, and how different kinds of distribution and creations tools create chokepoints for different companies to capture value that might otherwise go to artists and creators.. In other words, it's a lot...
'We might be wrong, but we're not confused': how Tomer Cohen, chief product officer at LinkedIn, figures out what works best
Tomer Cohen is the chief product officer at LinkedIn, and actually, I talked to Tomer twice. Here's a little secret about Decoder: we do the interviews, and then often, the guest and I just keep chatting for a while. So after my first interview with Tomer, we were hanging out, talking about the perpetual battles between engineers, product managers,...
How to buy a social network, with Tumblr CEO Matt Mullenweg
We have to talk about Twitter, right? Elon Musk bought it. He's making all these changes, and he's realizing that content moderation decisions are quite complicated, especially when the stakes are high.But talking about Twitter in a vacuum seems wrong. There are lots of other social networks and community-based products, and they all have basically...

Two Bobs, actually: Bob Iger, the former and now current CEO of Disney, and Bob Chapek, the man Iger handpicked as his replacement, who flamed out and was fired by the board, and then, on November 20th, was replaced by Bob Iger. Bobs, man.The heart of this whole thing is total Decoder bait. It's a story about how to...

Q: not using input after first pass of loop The intent is to ask a user if they want to play, output options, receive userinput and then simulate a 'roll' the appropriately sided dice.  Output the results, and then ask for another choice, etc.
The first cycle of the program works as it should, but instead of it asking if you want to play again it is blank.  If you enter a number to select the dice it will output how many sides the first dice had no matter what is chosen.

                dieTot = dieTot + throwResult;
                throwNumber++;
                cin >> numberSides;
                cout << endl << "Total for " << throwNumber <<  " throws = " << dieTot << endl;
            } while (choice != numberSides );
            break;

        default:
            cout << "Not a proper entry.\n";
            break;

        cout << endl << "Total for " << throwNumber <<  " throws = " << dieTot << endl;

        return 0;
    }
}

I am assuming the extra code in each of the case statments is:
    cout << numberSides << "-sided die rolled for a value of " << throwDie(numberSides,                              throwResult) << "!" << endl;
    dieTot = dieTot + throwResult;
    throwNumber++;
    cin >> numberSides;
    cout << endl << "Total for " << throwNumber <<  " throws = " << dieTot << endl;
    }
while (choice != numberSides );
    break;

Would that go at the end of the code? Not in every case statement. Also if I do that would I even need to put the while/do into functions?

A: This has nothing do with looping.

*

*Try printout out the values obtained from your cin's and you'll see the problem.

*You use your goto statement inconsistently, you only return to START in your first case

*You don't properly terminate your switch statement

*You should just about never use a goto unless you can't do it any other way.

*This is horribly written.  Why do you need to duplicate everything in each case statement? Seems like you only need to use the switch for setting the value of numberSides and the print out.. The rest should be common... I don't think you need the variables either... see my raw refactor just of your code to simply things...

Refactoring your code makes it much more readable: see below
#include <iostream>
#include <ctime>
using namespace std;

//This function will throw a dice returning the result while updating the parameter.
int throwDie(int Sides, int &throwResult)
{
    throwResult = 1 + rand() % (Sides); //Sides - 1 + 1 == Sides
    return throwResult;
}

//Display the menu
void displayMenu()

    cout << "How many sides? \n"
         << "1 - 4 sided die\n"
         << "2 - 6 sided die\n"
         << "3 - 8 sided die\n"
         << "4 - 10 sided die\n"
         << "5 - 12 sided die\n"
         << "6 - 20 sided die\n"
         << "CTRL-D to quit";
}

int main()
{
    int dieTot = 0,
        throwNumber = 0,
        numberSides = 0,
        throwResult = 0;
    // THESE ARENT NEEDED
    // sides = 4+2*(X-1)
    //int die1 = 4;
    //int die2 = 6;
    //int die3 = 8;
    //int die4 = 10;
    //int die5 = 12;
    //int die6 = 20;

    srand(unsigned(time(0) ));

    displayMenu();

    int choice;

    while ( cin >> choice ) {
        /* cin >> choice will return 0 / fail if they enter CTRL-D or enter
           something other than a number... you'll have to handle that in another way */

        if ( choice < 1 || choice > 6 ) {
            cout << "Invalid choice try again!";
            continue;
        }

        //numberSides = 4+2*(choice-1); //fast  way

        switch (choice) {
            case 6:
                numberSides = 20;
                break;
            case 1:
                //if you dont want to do this slick trick of fall through
                //numberSides = 4;
                //break;
            case 2:
            case 3:
            case 4:
            case 5:
                numberSides = 4+2*(choice-1); // use this for 1,2,3,4,5;
                break;
        }

        cout << "You have chosen a " << numberSides << " sided die.\n"
             << numberSides << "-sided die rolled for a value of "
             << throwDie(numberSides, throwResult) << "!" << endl;
        dieTot += throwResult;
        throwNumber++;
    }

    cout << "\n\n" << "Total for " << throwNumber << " throws = " << dieTot << endl;

A Look Back at the Worst Ransomware Attacks of 2017
https://zbrella.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/iStock-681203088.jpg 1218 861 Guest Author Guest Author https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/cf354b221d3f409d7073891d0db08f87?s=96&d=mm&r=g February 26, 2018 March 26, 2018
Ransomware is an industry worth millions of dollars, and as each year passes, hackers are making the business of infecting companies worth even more. Leading cyber research firm, Cybersecurity Ventures, predicted that by the end of 2017, ransomware would become a $5 billion dollar industry. As we take a look back at the worst ransomware attacks of 2017, we'll see why and how cyber criminals are making this possible. What made the list? Read on.
In May of 2017, the ransomware WannaCry hit the world hard—spreading across 150 countries from Russia to China to the UK and the United States. The ransomware spread everywhere and affected over 300,000 computers worldwide. By utilizing and exploiting a Microsoft Windows vulnerability, hackers delivered the ransomware to users in the form of phishing emails. Once the files were activated, computers and their data were automatically encrypted and held hostage until the ransomware was paid via bitcoin. Users who failed to pay by the deadline had their data stolen and wiped.
The ransomware attack was short lived, but affected a huge number of users and industries from law enforcement to hospitals to transportation to banking and many more. In only a six week period, the attacks raked in over $130,000 USD and it was estimated that in total, the ransomware cost millions in damages from loss of work productivity, data exposure, and security issues. Although WannaCry made our top list for worst ransomware attacks of 2017, it is categorized as one of the worst ransomware attacks in all history.
NotPetya made headlines in June 2017 as it sent waves across Europe. Utilizing the same vulnerability in Microsoft Windows that the WannaCry ransomware used, the newest strand of the Petya ransomware family infected major business organizations in the Ukraine. Unlike how WannaCry operated, where users needed to download an infected email attachment, the NotPetya ransomware spread from computer to computer on its own without user action. Hackers infected servers on an accounting software which almost every company in the Ukraine used, and from there, the virus spread like wildfire, affecting industries from government to law to banks to hospitals and more. And, just like WannaCry, users' computers were encrypted and payment was demanded.
The ransomware spread from the Ukraine to other areas such as France, Germany, Italy, the UK, the United States, and Russia. The total cost in damages incurred over $300 million and caused major issues throughout the Ukraine. Many analysts believe that the attacks were not intended to exert money, but rather severely cripple IT systems. Maersk, a global shipping company, had their global network system compromised, and they were forced to shut down at over 76 ports globally. The CEO of the company, Soren Skou, said, "Business volumes were negatively affected for a couple of weeks in July and as a consequence, our Q3 results will be impacted. We expect that the cyber-attack will impact results negatively by $200-$300 million." That alone was enough to land NotPetya on our list of worst ransomware attacks of 2017.
Locky
The Locky ransomware has a had a turbulent past in trying to infect users. Appearing all through 2016, Locky came back in mid-summer of 2017 with a vengeance. In August, Locky ransomware introduced two new strands of the virus. zDNet reported that in a 24 hour timespan, the spam campaign sent over 23 million emails to users in the United States containing the Locky ransomware. It fast became one of the largest spam campaigns of 2017.
The malware was hidden in a ZIP file of an attachment on the email, and once clicked, users' computers became infected, encrypted, and locked down. In order to get their data back, users were prompted to pay $2,300. The ransomware affected users in over 28 different countries.
The list for the worst ransomware attacks of 2017 could go on and on, so we're mentioning a few more that made a big financial splash in 2017: Cerber, Jaff, CyrptoMix, CrySis, and Nemucod. Unfortunately, there is a lot more where that came from, so for 2018, cybersecurity and ransomware protection is something your company should absolutely be investing in.

EU Residence Card | EU Nationals | ICS Legal
EEA Residency Card | European Citizens | EEA Nationals & Family Members
The purpose of the EEA Residence Cards, were designed for both EEA nationals and non-EEA family members to apply. For the EEA nationals, their EEA registration card is not obligatory however for their family members, it is required, ideally for employment and travel.
You may be able to apply for a residence card if you're from outside the European Economic Area (EEA) and you're the family member, or extended family member, of an EEA national.
Usually, a non-EEA family member following their grant of the EEA Family Permit would apply for the long term residency card. This will allow them to enjoy the free movement rights as enjoyed by their EEA family member.
EEA registration card
The policy is set out in the EEA Regulations 2016, and allows an EEA national to apply for a registration card. It is not required, however helps in confirming your right of residency in the UK.
As an EEA national, you would be able to change the basis of your stay as long as you continue to exercise the free movement rights in the UK. For example, a student can switch to become a worker and count both periods of leave towards acquiring permanent residence providing the relevant conditions are met. The policy is flexible and aims to allow the free movement rights.
After the UK leaves the European Union (EU), EU free movement will be brought to an end and all documentation issued to European Economic Area (EEA) and Swiss citizens, and their family members, under EU law will cease to be valid. After free movement is brought to an end, EEA and Swiss citizens and their family members will require a UK immigration status in order to remain in the UK.
A glance on the EEA Residency Card
EEA residence cards are issued to EEA nationals' family members who are not EEA nationals themselves. The card is, in fact, a sticker (also called a 'vignette'), placed in your passport, which confirms your right of residence in the UK under European law.
However recently, those EEA residence cards are now issued as a biometric cards however if you do not hold one, don't worry. The Settlement Scheme have now replaced this legacy system.
In short, the EEA residence cards are valid for 5 years, and you should produce it as evidence of your status when asked to do so. (In some circumstances, Home Office may issue you with an immigration status document instead of a vignette in your passport).
You don't need to apply for a residence card as a family member but it can:
help you re-enter the country more quickly and easily if you travel abroad;
show employers you're allowed to work in the UK;
help prove you qualify for certain benefits and services.
The requirements of the EEA Residency Card
You can apply for a residence card if you are a person who is outside the European Economic Area (EEA) and are the family member, or extended family member, of an EEA national who is a permanent resident or 'qualified person'.
You may also be eligible for a residence card if you have a 'retained right of residence' or apply as a 'Surinder Singh' case.
The EEA Regulations 2016 defines a person who is a qualified person and one of the following applies:
they're working;
they're self-employed;
they're self-sufficient;
they're studying;
they're looking for work (only if they meet certain conditions).
You can apply as a direct family member if you're related to the EEA national as their spouse or civil partner, their (or their spouse or civil partner's) child or grandchild who is under 21 or a dependant their (or their spouse or civil partner's) dependent parent or grandparent. There are separate provisions applicable to the family members of students.
Retained rights of residence
There are a number of ways that you, as a non-EEA national family member can retain your rights of residency in the UK. Here are some of the examples:
your marriage or civil partnership to an EEA citizen has ended (with a divorce, annulment or dissolution);
your EEA family member has died and you lived in the UK as their family member for at least one year before their death;
you're in education and you're the child of an EEA citizen (or their current or former spouse or civil partner) who has left the UK or died;
your child has a retained right of residence because they're in education in the UK (and you have custody of them).
Surinder Singh cases also referred as a family member of a British citizen
Following the EEA Regulation 2016 changes, a person who is a British citizen, has been employed at a member state, can bring non-EEA family members to the UK, providing that they had genuinely resided at a member state.
To be eligible, you must be a citizen of a country outside the EEA and:
the family member of a British citizen;
have lived with them in another EEA country where they worked or were self-employed before returning to the UK;
be able to show that your UK sponsor based their 'centre of life' in the EEA country in which you both were a resident before returning to the UK.
Refusal of an EEA Residency Card
If your application for an EEA Residency Card is refused, you will be able to appeal against the decision. You will have 14 days to lodge an appeal against the decision. The First Tier Tribunal will act as the intermediary to your appeal.
When appealing against the refusal, you will be asked to complete the claim form, submit the legal grounds and evidences.
We recommend that you take some legal advice at first, to see whether the decision was reached correctly or not. You can email us a copy of the decision letter to info@icslegal.com.
As part of our process, we will advise whether you should appeal the decision or re-apply for the EEA Residency Card. We will explain our reasons on why you should either appeal or submit a new application.
