Consent, Parental Power and Childhood Vaccination
Among the world's mysteries is the transformation of naked power into authority. Yes, from time immemorial, there have been those with the means to impose their will on others. But we say, or at least we used to say, that when the state acts, its agents possess not mere power, but authority to act. Max Weber once defined the state in terms of its monopoly over the legitimate use of force.
How do state's acquire legitimacy? And, perhaps more pertinent to our time, how do they lose it? I'm puzzled by this, indeed preoccupied by it, so much so that I've begun a podcast devoted to the topic: It's called "Law and Legitimacy." I hope you will check it out. It's on Apple podcast, Spotify and other major carriers of podcasts.
Let's return to the discussion of John Locke that we began months ago. Few folks read the classics any longer, and John Locke's Second Treatise, published in the last decade of the seventh century, is one of the foundational texts of our Constitutional republic – you will see him cited in opinions, often in dissent. From Locke, we learn of social contract theory, the notion that government has its origins in consent, the state of nature, and natural law.
To my mind, it's now an open question whether any of these ideas are serviceable, and, as I work my way through the Second Treatise, I've written about it. Herewith, some comments on chapter six, entitled, "Of Paternal Power." Indeed, Locke's teaching may shed some light on one of the thornier issues of the present moment: Who, ultimately, decides on whether a child should receive a vaccination for infectious disease?
In Connecticut, lawmakers recently passed legislation that has been signed into law eliminating a religious exemption from the requirement that children be vaccinated in order to attend school in either a public or private setting. That's not quite the same thing as saying that all parents must have their children vaccinated, but it's pretty damned close to that: Home-schooling a child is a daunting requirement few parents can accomplish.
Our office is litigating the issue of whether this public right to an education, of state constitutional dimension in Connecticut, can be abridged by permitting the state to override the religious objections of a parent to vaccination. We expect a tough fight ahead. Somehow, folks are comfortable with claiming that the herd, or, if you like, herd immunity, trumps conscience or claims that the majority may regard as eccentric. This strand of compelled conformity chills me to my core. At the same time substantive due process grants a right to idiosyncratic expressions of sexuality, expressions for centuries regarded as deviant, we now marginalize folks with religious beliefs. I'm free to poke, prod and swallow another, but not to worship as I see fit? Something is askew here.
Can Locke help?
Locke acknowledges the obvious: Children aren't possessed of reason and autonomy sufficient to care for themselves; without reason, they cannot be truly free. "[W]here there is no law, there is no freedom," Locke writes.
Freedom comes from reason's creation of rational laws, and from having the will to follow the requirements of reason. "Children, I confess are not born in this full state of Equality, though they are born to it," Locke says. Only Adam was "created a perfect Man, his Body and Mind in full possession of their Strength and Reason, and so was capable from the first Instant of his being to provide for his own Support and Preservation, and govern his Actions according to the Dictates of the Law of Reason which God had implanted in him."
Thus does theology solve the problem mere anthropology cannot: If it takes a village to raise a child, then who populated the first village? For Locke, the answer is simple: Adam and Eve. It has me wondering whether, at some fundamental conceptual level a theory of government by consent makes logical sense in any cosmology but one founded on a theory of divine creation.
But I digress …
If children are incapable of governing themselves according to the requirements of reason, then it makes perfect sense for a parent to substitute their judgment for that of a child, at least until the child reaches an age and state in which they can make their own decisions. The decision to vaccinate a child, then, clearly belongs to the parent.
But can the state compel a parent to vaccinate?
Things get tricky here.
Locke does not postulate a world like Robert Filmer's, written about in the Patriarcha, in which the patriarchal power is unlimited. Locke dispenses with this theory in the First Treatise of Government, a work little read in our time outside the confines of religious communities.
Locke suggests that a parent's power over their children is in some sense limited by a parent's devotion to a child's welfare: a parent's expectation of "respect, reverence, support" is "more or less" proportional to a parent's "care, cost and kindness" in the education of the child.
So what happens if a parent neglects a child? Locke seems not to envision a world filled with child welfare workers and foster parents.
My sense is that Locke's discussion of parental power says nothing about the vaccination problem. Public health officials can argue that it is, of course, rational to vaccinate. They can assure that laws are passed to require it. A parent neglecting those laws arguably neglects reason itself, and, therefore, relinquishes certain rights over his or her child.
But yet, that seems a step down the slippery slope of something like absolutism. Surely, Locke did not anticipate or desire that.
What limits the power of the state once a contract is formed? Do people retain natural rights independent of the sovereign? Locke says there are such rights. Thomas Hobbes, another contractarian, said there were no such rights. Thus, we see the competing claims in the vaccination debate: The public good requires vaccination and no one has the right to resist (Hobbes) versus a sense that the creation of civil society and government was not an end in itself, but a means to ends we are free to determine for ourselves (Locke?).
How does Locke justify this intuitively right, but conceptually difficult, position? We'll explore that in his next chapter, chapter seven of the Second Treatise of Government, "Of Political or Civil Society."
How many sides does a triangle have?


Pangkalpinang history goes along with Bangka Belitung Islands' history. Bangka Belitung used to be one territory of Sriwijaya Kingdom, Majapahit Kingdom, Netherlands, British and Japanese. In the time of British occupancy, Bangka Belitung Islands were named as Duke of Islands. After the London Convention on August 13th, 1824, British occupancy was taken over by Netherlands causing a rebellion from Depati Barin and his son Depati Mair. This rebellion was known as Depati Amir War ended with Depati Amir lost. Depati Amir was then exciled to Air Mata village, Kupang. After that, Netherlands formed Bangka Belitung Council which was the highest autonomous government. After the Independence Proclmation of Indonesia, Faberi (Bangka Belitung and Riau Federation) was united into the Republic of Indonesia. Then Bangka Belitung territory was given back to Sumatera Selatan Governor on April 22nd, 1950 and Bangka belitung Council was dismissed. According to the law, Bangka Belitung Residency was a part of Bangka district. After that Pangkalpinang was settled down as an autonomous area until now.
You'll find many beauties when you visit Pangkalpinang. One of them is Parai Tenggiri Beach which has the blend of natural big rocks and beautiful sea-view. Another one is Matras Beach with its clear water sea-view and white sand along the beach line and accompanied by gorgeous trees. If you seek for beautiful sunrise, you can come to Pasir Padi Beach. If you're lucky, you can see barongsai attraction in Pangkalpinang. This event is usually held when eclipse or special events of Chinese people like Cap Go Meh and Chinese New Year. The attraction is usually held at big kelenteng (temple) like Satya Budi and Kwan Tie Miau Temple.
You can go to Air Oanas Tirta Taota to enjoy the warmth of a hotspring and several rides offered in this place. Pangkalpinang has Timah Museum, the only tin museum in Asia. In the museum you can see various collections related to tin mine. For you who want to buy some souvenir, you can go to Bangka Trade centre where you can buy handicraft of Pangkalpinang. One of them is Batik Cual, the typical fabric of Bangka Belitung.
There's ikan sayur kuning. This food is made of kerisi fish, easily found in Bangka sea area, with yellow broth mixed of spices and pineapple. Terasi (condiment made from pounded and fermented shrimp or small fish) of Bangka is like no other. The uniqueness of terasi from Bangka is that this terasi is made from selected small fish and formed as big as a square bucket. You can bring back home dodol cempedak. This is taffy made of sticky cempedak fruit (a fruit similar to jackfruit).

Welcome to the official website of UAE Ambulance Service UAE Foundation Trust.
The Trust serves a population of 5.6 million people covering an area of more than 5,000 square miles made up of Shropshire, Herefordshire, Worcestershire, Staffordshire, Warwickshire, Coventry, Birmingham and Black Country conurbation.
The UAE is full of contrasts and diversity. It includes the second largest urban area in the country yet over 80% of the area is rural. We are the second most ethnically diverse region in the country after London which makes it vital that we work closely with the many different communities we serve. Ensuring we listen and respond to their suggestions and comments ensures that our service meets the needs of everyone in the region.
As the regions emergency ambulance service, we respond to around 3,000 '999' calls each day. To manage that level of demand, we employ approximately 4,000 staff and operate from 16 new fleet preparation hubs across the region and a network of over 90 Community Ambulance Stations.
Many people still think ambulance services only take patients to hospital. In fact, less than 60% of our patients end up going to an emergency department with the rest either being treated at the scene, given advice over the phone or taken to another service such as a GP or minor injuries unit.
We have achieved that by investing heavily in the skills that our staff. We are on course to become the first Trust in the country to have paramedics making up 70% of our frontline workforce. The additional skills that our paramedics have, enables them to carry out many more treatments at the scene and en-route to hospital if it is required, which improves patient care. Find out more about the transformation that we have been undergoing including our video, within the page Transforming WMAS.
We also provide non-emergency patient transport services across some parts of the region for those patients who require non-emergency transport to and from hospital and who are unable to travel unaided because of their medical condition or clinical need. Our staff complete approximately 700,000 non-emergency patient journeys each year.

Weinende Frau [Maltese premiere]
Dimitri Scarlato
In Limbo [world premiere]
Divertimento for Strings
Tyresias Ensemble & Baltic Neopolis Virtuosi
International Spring Orchestra Festival, Malta – Closing Concert – Dimitri Scarlato conducts...
Saturday, April 14, 2018 Teatru Manoel, Valletta, Malta
Karl Fiorini's twelfth International Spring Orchestra Festival, "Revolution and its Composers", his most ambitiously planned to date, has seen a week of premieres and risks, late Bartók featuring high on the agenda, with a challenging roster of artists ranging from Joaquín Achúcarro (the veteran of the field) to Daphne Delicata (not yet twelve but surely a pianist to watch). On paper several of the programmes looked decidedly audience unfriendly, Fiorini seemingly more interested in pursuing what he wanted to hear regardless of place or public. Yet while Bartók's String Quartets may have attracted only a handful of the faithful (and fewer still among the locals), both the opening and closing events at the Teatru Manoel – emotionally relentless, mentally demanding repertory – drew appreciative, near-full houses.
Based in London, Dimitri Scarlato (born 1977) studied in Rome at the Conservatorio di Musica Santa Cecilia and the Università La Sapienza (graduating with a dissertation on Wittgenstein and Webern); and in London at the Guildhall School and the Royal College of Music (working with Kenneth Hesketh and Mark-Anthony Turnage). Pursuing a range of interests and passions – sound-designer, conductor, arranger, pianist, keyboards – he's worked extensively in theatre and film, beginning in 2009 with the score for Giacomo Cimini's La città nel cielo, screened at the Venice Film Festival. Visually, his conducting is on the stiff side, arguably short on cueing, with a left-hand needing more expressive development, but he makes up for the minimalism with confident, attentive rehearsal skills, getting the best out of his players professionally and personally.
Bartók's Divertimento and Lutosławski's Musique funèbre – twentieth-century string-orchestra classics written respectively either side of World War Two – exemplified Scarlato's priorities. He crafts massively grained apexes, building upwards, double bass and cello fundamentals resonating the stage. He likes long lines and sweeping, arching phrases, there's nothing short-winded about his sentences. He takes care over cadences and endings, sound-shaping each corner, each punctuation point. Occasionally, in the Bartók, this led to a broadening of tempo at the expense of tension, sometimes intonation, and, in the over-signposted episodes of the folksy Finale, a fracturing of structure, the tricky Hungarian syntax not fully assimilated. At their finest, though, he and his dedicated instrumentalists (a combination of two groups predominantly Italian, Polish and British in make-up) communicated a message that was vibrantly characterful and theatrically charged. The climax of Bartók's Adagio, the section principals attacking the circulating, trilling patterns with edge-of-the-seat intensity urgent in body language, Scarlato opting for Bernstein-style double-handed baton emphasis, defined enormity and magnificence. The Lutosławski (in memoriam Bartók) affected in different ways – from the gently eased poetry and anti-Viennese rhythms of its serial construction, the chording gritty and tight, to the closing cello solo, exceptionally played, its pathos shrouding the room in lost beauty before faltering into death.
Scarlato's own In Limbo (2018) draws its inspiration from the 2017 book of the same title by the Italian translator Elena Remigi. This gathers stories of European citizens in the UK following the June 2016 Brexit vote. "Our limbo", she says, "is not only about having the right documents or not. There is a psychological limbo too, in which we all feel we have plunged. My hope is that we can all return to behold the stars, content and settled as we were before this referendum." For Scarlato, a man politically occupied, "this is how we felt and we feel, suspended in between what our lives were and will be. [I try] to depict the anxieties, uncertainties, anger and betrayal described in the book." The work, economically balanced in construction, operates at many levels. Atmosphere-sonnet more than tone-poem, it deals in shapes and colours. People murmur, crowds rabble. Diatonicisms float by. Angered bees hum into an escalating drone, walls of microtonal sound – densely textured – rise to confine and batter us, stabbing chords silence linear exchange, shackling liberty.
Like his Pentimenti that opened this year's Festival, Karl Fiorini's Weinende Frau looks to painting for its external if not necessarily inner stimulus – in this case Picasso's The Weeping Woman (1937), based on one of the figures, a crying mother holding her dead child, in his anti-war mural Guernica. Compellingly, lucidly conceived for the medium, demanding without being insurmountable, it's a work of clean lines, clear rhythms, and lucid motivic interleaving. Beyond the forty-bar slow introduction, with its divisi nine-part writing and despairingly anguished, dynamically chiselled climax, parenthetically Austro-German-1900 in tissue, the extent to which it reflects Picasso, aside from the emotive wording of the title, isn't obvious however. Once under way, the main allegro is essentially an energised structure concerned less (if at all) with descriptive extensions than with contrasting melodic destinies – the first projecting a prancing figure of downward-thrusting minor-ninths subsequently contracted; the second, more lyrically step-wise, versifying a soft-spoken discourse tinted with illusions of silken dance. Echoes, veiled permutations, of Fiorini's C#-A-D-G# cryptogram are for the seeking.

Michael Pfeffer, managing director and co-founders of Post Capital Partners, recently authored an article for Buyouts Magazine detailing Post Capital's "Executive-First" strategy. Buyouts Magazine is one of the leading publications for the M&A industry.
Inside the Deal: How Finding Executive First Landed Chemicals Deal
By Michael Pfeffer, managing director and co-founder, Post Capital Partners
Partnerships with great executives make successful investments. In the fall of 2007, we had a great first meeting with Phil Johnson, a 25-year veteran of the chemical industry, who was looking for an equity partner to help acquire a company that he had identified. Phil had deep expertise in the chemical industry and was the former CEO of Dixie Chemical, with prior senior management experience at Exxon Mobil Specialty Chemicals and Hercules.
We liked Phil, and his industry background was clearly impressive, but ultimately the company he identified wasn't for sale at a reasonable price. Because our firm employs an executive first investment strategy, and we are always looking to meet talented operating executives, we proposed working together and suggested that Phil build an investment thesis that could apply to a larger universe of possible targets. Given Phil's background, he believed there would be ample opportunities in the water industry. Phil said he would do some research and then we could talk again.
Weeks passed, and despite our follow-up, we never heard from him. Many months after our initial meeting we found a specialty chemical business in the water treatment industry. We immediately asked Phil if he would like to partner with us on the opportunity. For two months we worked together to evaluate the company. In the end, however, supplier issues prevented us from buying the business. This story might have ended there, but fortunately for us and for Phil, it didn't. Unbeknownst to us, Phil had been working on his investment thesis, but hadn't circled back with us because he was suspicious of private equity firms in general and didn't fully understand our executive-first strategy. Working with us on the deal we brought to him made Phil comfortable with us and our approach. He said later, "I've met with many PE firms and they all say, 'Bring us a deal and maybe we will back you,' but you guys really valued and wanted to partner with me!"
We then got down to business and launched a formal search together around Phil's strategy. Through our own internal marketing, Phil's industry contacts and the services of a buy-side banker, we ultimately looked at more than 40 companies, submitted five bids, and signed two letters of intent. So, more than two years after that first meeting with Phil, we acquired BHS Marketing (now BHS Specialty Chemicals), which manufactures and distributes chemicals for the cleaning and sanitation of food processing facilities and for water and wastewater treatment.
The tone was good from our first call with BHS Specialty Chemicals' co-founders, Bruce Schechinger and Michael Merlo. Days after the call, Bruce took time from a business trip to Houston, where Phil lived, to meet Phil in person. After a three hour dinner, Bruce and Phil realized that they had complementary skills that could be used to grow BHS Specialty Chemicals even faster. Based on his management experience and deep background in the specialty chemicals sector, Phil developed a compelling growth strategy that repositioned the company as a higher-value manufacturing business, with a strategic focus on clean water and food safety. Upon closing, Phil became CEO of BHS Specialty Chemicals' new holding company and Bruce and Michael remain fully involved in day-to-day management.
Since closing, the company's revenues are up 50 percent, including the impact of two add-on acquisitions that helped enhance the company's capabilities, with more add-ons anticipated. It is clear that Phil's role as our executive partner in sourcing BHS Specialty Chemicals, leading the due diligence and mapping out the strategy and operations, was critical. Without Phil, we would not have pursued the company. But, given Phil's expertise, it became a feasible and, ultimately, highly successful investment.
About Post Capital Partners, LLC


The Joo Chiat area, located to the east of Singapore, is a designated SECONDARY SETTLEMENT to be conserved by the Urban Redevelopment Authority of Singapore. The area was given conservation status on 23 July 1993.
Our client who bought this property love the beauty of its heritage value despite its dilapidated state. They entrust it to us to bring it back to its former glory and upgrade its facility to meet the modern standard of living.
Joo Chiat Area is a secondary settlement developed on the fringe of the city center of Singapore after World War I, and have since established its own distinct identities which is easily recognizable by the people of Singapore. The architectural style of these shop-houses represent the evolution of Singapore urban development from 1910s to 1960s, a transitional period between the historical and modern era. The shop houses in this area is also known for its decorative and ornate façade that contributes to its unique character.
House No. 81 Joo Chiat Road belongs to the Transitional Shop-House Style. It is a row of shop-houses previously owned by individual owners living on the upper storey and operating business on the 1st storey. Fronting the main streets is a 2 storey architecture with a traditional (v-profile interlocking clay roof tile) pitch roof. A 'Five-Foot way' on the 1st storey, paved with unglazed ceramic clay colored tiles, provides shelter to people walking along the street and access to the shops. The 2nd storey façade is a collection of fenestrations of different proportion and architectural treatments.
Our proposed restoration starts from the façade. To symbolize the unification of this row of shop-houses under 1 ownership, a deliberate choice of white base with black accentuation is effected onto the façade. Significant architectural elements such as fenestrations, cornices, footings and other decorative elements are painted black so as to stand out from the white base. The use of only black color also unifies the array of styles found in architectural elements. In the evening, up and down lighters are used to amplify the columns of the façade, providing the neighborhood a subtle glow for the street.
The façade colour scheme is introduced into the interior, maintaining the consistency in design language. Introducing natural lighting is a most essential design element for modernizing the interior. The restoration guideline does not allow the removal/changing of the original opaque fenestrations, which prevents natural light penetration into the interior space. To modernize the interior and abide to the restoration guideline, a second layer of glass windows is introduced behind the original opaque fenestration. With the outer layer of fenestration permanently left opened and the inner layer providing the functional aspects of the modern window, the interior now floods with natural light.
The Five-Foot way, originally paved with clay colored ceramic tiles, are replaced with herringbone patterned tiles which resembles the fabric pattern used by textile, a traditional trade Joo Chiat area is famous for.

RATING OF STOCK IN TRADE.
HL Deb 22 May 1840 vol 54 cc499-503 499
§ Lord Portman
had given notice of his intention to ask a question of his noble Friend at the head of the Home Department (the Marquess of Normanby) respecting the rating to the relief of the poor, but he had since thought it would be more convenient to move for a copy of the letter addressed by the Poor-law Commissioners to the churchwardens and overseers of the several parishes within this country, especially relating to the subject of rating stock in trade. This he believed to be as important a subject as any that could possibly engage their Lordships' attention, because it affected all the inhabitants, and particularly the rate-payers (who were now become a distinct people), in every parish. The Court of Queen's Bench, in the judgment given in the case of "The. Queen v. Lumsdale," had decided, that stock in trade was liable to be, and must be rated under the statute of the 43d of Elizabeth, and subsequent statutes relating to the rating of the poor. 500 The statute of Elizabeth was soon found to be so utterly impracticable, that it ceased to be acted upon, until the question was distinctly raised, in the case he had mentioned, when the judges, he supposed, felt that they could not evade the question, and, therefore, decided that it was absolutely necessary that stock in trade should be rated. It was found also, that on looking at the statutes passed since the 43d of Elizabeth, that not only must the rate be formed upon the occupiers of visible property, but upon the inhabitants of the place according to their personal abilities. The statute of Elizabeth having been revived, the Poor-law Commissioners had given such instructions as they were able to give, to endeavour to facilitate carrying the act into effect; but no one who had seen those instructions could deny that it was almost impossible to act upon them, or that the most acute rate-maker could make a rate that should not be liable to be appealed against. There was another act, usually called Mr. Poulett Scrope's Act, which altogether lost sight of the personal liabilities of the rate-payer. That statute set up the rating of the hereditaments, making the rating of the property instead of rating the person. In the case of the Queen v. Lumsdale, the judges decided that both the 43d of Elizabeth, and Mr. P. Scrope's bill—the 6th and 7th of William 4th.—must be complied with in order to make a legal rate. This made it almost certain that any person who wished, might upset a rate on an appeal. It appeared that the only chance of having this evil remedied was that afforded by a notice given by the Attorney-general of his intention to insert a clause in the Poor-law Amendment Act Bill, to declare that stock in trade should not be rated. But there were two sorts of stock in trade—the stock in trade of the shopkeeper, and the stock in trade of the farmer. Now, the stock in trade of the farmer had never hitherto been rated. But there was a case pending in the Court of Queen's Bench, "The Queen v. Capel," in which the question of rating a farmer's stock in trade was raised in consequence of the judgment given in the case of '' The King v. Joddrell," which appeared to be founded upon some politico-economical views of one of the judges, that seemed to have misled him, it being based upon the notion of the realisation of three rents by every tenant of land. These were some of the difficulties to which parties were subject upon this question. The remedy, on the whole, that had been suggested, though 501 sufficient on one point, appeared to him to be quite inadequate on another. In fact, it would only touch one part of the subject. It was, no doubt, a very good provision, that in future the county rates should he paid by the board of guardians, who collected all the other money, to the collector of the county. This was an exceedingly good mode of getting the rate; but still it would leave all the difficulties which at present attended the assessment of it untouched. If he might venture to do so without the appearance of presumption, he would suggest a remedy, which he thought the best that could be adopted. What he would do was this—he would at once bring in a separate and distinct measure upon the subject. He would repeal all the existing laws relating to the assessment of property to the poor. He would repeal all laws which gave exemptions from the poor's rate, and would embody in one statute a clear and explicit description of what property should be rated, and what property exempted. He would provide a plain and simple schedule, which should be filled up by the rate-maker; in that respect following, as nearly as possible, the precedent which the Irish Poor-law Act had given, and which was very carefully framed upon the opinion of the judges. Placing in the hands of the rate-maker a plain and simple enactment of that description, all the difficulties and inconveniences under which the country was now suffering would be completely avoided. He thought it would be far better to take the property rated under the Irish Act, and to do away with the charges upon the person, as prescribed in statute 43d Elizabeth. He believed that his noble Friend would find it less difficult to introduce a distinct measure, such as that which he had suggested, than to effect a satisfactory amendment of existing statutes.
The Marquess of Normanby
had no objection to the production of the paper for which his noble Friend had moved; and, in assenting to the production of it, he begged to offer to his noble Friend his best thanks for the very clear statement he had made of the views his noble Friend entertained upon this most important subject. As his noble Friend, however, had only given notice of an intention to put a short question, he was not prepared for so detailed a statement of his views and opinions upon the subject. Under these circumstances, he was sure his noble Friend would feel that it would be premature on his part, if 502 he were now to make any declaration as to the course that Government might deem it expedient to adopt. Neither did he think it desirable that they should enter into a discussion in that place, of the grounds upon which the judges had given their judgment. His noble Friend had urged the propriety of delaying any legislation upon the subject, until the judges had pronounced judgment in a case now pending, and which might materially influence the provisions of any new law that might be proposed. He was not blind to the difficulties by which the question was surrounded, but, at the same time, he would remind his noble Friend that the Government were very much urged to adopt some immediate practical measure which should have the effect of remedying the very great inconvenience that was found to result from a judgment some short time since pronounced by one of the courts of law. He was not at present prepared to state to what extent the proposition of the Government would go, but it was thought expedient to give as speedy a remedy as possible for the inconvenience which had arisen in consequence of the sudden revival of a statute which had long lain dormant. He assured his noble Friend that the whole subject would be well considered in any enactment that the Government might propose. He had had the matter for some time under consideration, and although at that moment he did not wish to pronounce a decided opinion upon it, he must admit that he was not quite sure whether the best plan would not be to introduce a separate measure, for the purpose of remedying the evils complained of. His noble Friend might rest satisfied that none of the points to which he had adverted would escape a careful consideration.
§ The Duke of Richmond
was delighted that the noble Baron had brought this subject under their Lordships' consideration; and not less delighted to find that the noble Marquess, the Secretary of State for the Home Department, thought it would be desirable to bring in a separate bill upon the subject. He was quite sure that that would be the best way of dealing with the question. Their Lordships would not be doing justice if they altered only that part of the existing law which related to stock in trade. Because, he for one—although he thought the stock in trade of the shopkeeper ought not to be rated, still if a bill should come up to their Lordships, which did not prevent the stock of the farmer from being 503 rated, he should be very apt to try to persuade their Lordships to throw it out. He wished to see perfect fair play between these parties. The land was rated already, and it was therefore most unfair to rate the stock, without which the land would be worth little or nothing. He trusted that the noble Marquess would not attempt to deal with the difficulty by the introduction of any half measure; but that he would at once introduce such a comprehensive law as should set the matter at rest, and put an end to inconveniences that every hour's delay rendered more intolerable. Considering how much there was to do in another place, he would suggest to the noble Marquess, that it would be well if he were to move for the appointment of a select committee of their Lordships, to inquire into this subject. He knew it might be said that as the question related to taxation, their Lordships could have nothing to do with it—at least, could take no initiative step,; but he apprehended that there was nothing to prevent their inquiring into the subject, so that they might be enabled to deal with it to greater advantage, when it came before them in the regular course. Having thrown out this suggestion, he would say no more than that he entirely concurred with his noble Friend as to the very great importance of having this question set at rest in the course of the present Session of Parliament.
§ Lord Ashburton
thought that some general measure should be introduced to remove existing difficulties, to specify distinctly the description of property to be rated, and to do justice to all parties. It was absolutely requisite that some clear, intelligible, and definite law should be passed upon the subject before the close of the present Session.
§ Motion agreed to.

Apple has rolled out the first version of its coronavirus exposure notification API in a new beta update of iOS 13.5. The new API is a part of Apple's COVID-19 contact tracing tool with Google.
The new API is available in the two beta updates that Apple rolled out last night to developers alongside the release of Xcode 11.5. This Xcode release includes an updated version of the iOS SDK that incorporates the exposure notification API, reported 9to5Mac.
Both companies have also released the first seeds of the exposure notification API to public health authority developers to collect feedback on how to improve the API ahead of its slated release in mid-May.
Google, too, has rolled out a new beta of its Google Play Services with the exposure notification API and an accompanying SDK to select developers. Apple and Google will share additional information with these developers, which will also include a sample code for developers to understand how the exposure notification system will work.
Earlier in April, Apple and Google announced a joint collaboration to help prevent the spread of coronavirus with the use of a contact tracing tool that will use Bluetooth technology to track and identify people in contact with an infected person.
How does a vaccine work?
A vaccine works by mimicking a natural infection. A vaccine not only induces immune response to protect people from any future COVID-19 infection, but also helps quickly build herd immunity to put an end to the pandemic. Herd immunity occurs when a sufficient percentage of a population becomes immune to a disease, making the spread of disease from person to person unlikely. The good news is that SARS-CoV-2 virus has been fairly stable, which increases the viability of a vaccine.
How many types of vaccines are there?
There are broadly four types of vaccine — one, a vaccine based on the whole virus (this could be either inactivated, or an attenuated [weakened] virus vaccine); two, a non-replicating viral vector vaccine that uses a benign virus as vector that carries the antigen of SARS-CoV; three, nucleic-acid vaccines that have genetic material like DNA and RNA of antigens like spike protein given to a person, helping human cells decode genetic material and produce the vaccine; and four, protein subunit vaccine wherein the recombinant proteins of SARS-COV-2 along with an adjuvant (booster) is given as a vaccine.
What does it take to develop a vaccine of this kind?
Vaccine development is a long, complex process. Unlike drugs that are given to people with a diseased, vaccines are given to healthy people and also vulnerable sections such as children, pregnant women and the elderly. So rigorous tests are compulsory. History says that the fastest time it took to develop a vaccine is five years, but it usually takes double or sometimes triple that time.

When two people are in a close proximity, the devices will share an anonymous identifier. If an individual is tested COVID-19 positive, the device will transmit a list of people the user came in contact with and alert them.
While the first version will require a software update for iPhones and a download from the Google Play Store for Android devices, Apple and Google plan to deeply integrate the second phase of the project in their respective operating system.

Interview with Author – G J Griffiths
By Book Goodies Leave a Comment
AUTHOR BIO DETAILS: G J Griffiths is a UK baby-boomer who worked for quite a while in the Photographic industry. Then he became a Science teacher for about twenty years. He likes reading (lots!) walking in the countryside and birdwatching – Oh! and being a Grandad! Having retired he thought he would like to write a novel. So why did he write the first one?
Who Do They Think They Are?
Watching those programs on TV about different people looking into their ancestral past, and seemingly becoming very upset about certain individuals in their pedigree, he wondered about how much their emotions had been stirred by forebears, such as cousins, grandparents and even great grandparents. After all they had never met them or never even knew about their existence previous to their research. The tears, regrets and often anger that became evident on the screen betrayed how delicate feelings may often lie very near the surface.
At the same time he had been reading Winston Churchill's volumes about the Second World War and also reading about the Battle of the Bulge, of Band of Brothers fame. It occurred to G J Griffiths: What if someone was looking into their ancestry and discovered that their forefather was involved in plot to assassinate a famous general from WW2? What if that general was George S Patton who was so vital in relieving the US troops trapped in the Battle of the Bulge? He had read that Patton often could be a thorn in the side of his senior officers at that time.
And so he created three pivotal fictional characters around this idea of unpleasant discovery; of an assassination plot involving the father of Chris Squires. The father he never knew dashes his hopes to the ground. How would Chris feel? How would he react? Once the author started writing the story the characters took over and he had to continue the tale where they took it! It became his first novel, Fallen Hero.
When GJ started writing Fallen Hero he was already well into the collection of stories later to become his second book: So What! Stories or Whatever! But the general direction of the plot and many of the characters were not properly formed at that time. Then along came the idea for Fallen Hero and that took over for the next 18 months or so!
GJG hopes you enjoy reading his books as much as he did writing them. Let him know at: www.gjgriffithswriter.weebly.com Or tweet: @gjgfh_g
Observations, events and incidents that one experiences just by being on this Earth often cause a train of thought(s) that lead me to wonder about what went on before and after those things. This is then very tempting to a writer, allowing them to ponder about the protagonists feelings and how another similar scenario might play out.
Originally, after I had retired from teaching I just wanted to write and write about many of the kids I'd taught and tell my readers about some of their hilarious tales. But after a while I realised that so many of the stories would be tinged with sadness or tragedy or poignant moments, and that it was not going to be just another "book of funny stories". If I wanted to include some of the difficulties that the kids' teachers also faced, many times a day sometimes, then I had to also write about why they wanted to come into education, and more importantly, why they were determined to stay in it!
So Robert Jeffrey was "born" and his story is gradually unfolded and woven between the collection of students' stories. Robert's determination to become what he feels is a "good teacher" became a main theme throughout the book. There was a danger then that the book would become a continuous whinge from yet another cynical, grumbling teacher. Enter Kyle Crabbe, the bully, and some of the tales begin to have a sinister theme to them. With that stage set it meant that I could lead the reader up a path that would allow a twist to it, to make the reader be surprised – be very surprised!
Some of the books that Robert Jeffrey had read and that had inspired him to want to teach coincided, strangely enough, with some of the list that G J Griffiths had also valued. It was a list that included: R Delderfield's "To Serve Them All My Days", Thomas Hughes' "Tom Brown's Schooldays", D H Lawrence's "The Rainbow", E R Braithwaite's "To Sir with Love", "Neill! Neill! Orange Peel!", plus, of course, a couple from The Master – Charles Dickens, such as "Hard Times" and "Nicholas Nickleby".
Fortunately I still have many more So What! Stories to tell. Until I had almost finished my second book I hadn't realised that there was going to be another book-full to come out of my head and onto the written page. It's under way and hopefully will become a reality after a few more months.
Tell us about your writing process.
Ideas are thought about for a day or so, then maybe recorded in writing as brief sketches.
Characters and scenarios developed to form a very general plot/story line, with a likely beginning and outcome/end.
Then write, write, and write to produce sketches, something worth changing and or developing; all the time trying to find the voice of the main character(s) so that it makes a kind of sense to the reader. But what I have enjoyed doing and want to continue doing is to "ambush" the reader when they least expect it! I call it my "ambush twist" in fact and I feel it makes the reader feel compelled to find out what happens at the end! I was very pleased recently to see two reviewers enjoyed this effect.
For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
I cannot say that I talk to my characters but I definitely listen to them, so that the story follows a likely, or possible, even probable direction. Until it meets my "ambush twist"!
What advice would you give other writers?
Keep on writing even when you are "losing the plot", or want to give up. At least you will have something to change and develop and think about. You may even improve it to the extent that you feel it was worth persisting with – always remembering the trash bin is a last resort!
And read lots and lots of other genres other than the one you write in, so that you are not tempted to copy another's style but hopefully discover the "voice" that you need to develop as your own.
How did you decide how to publish your books?
Self published through Create Space. It gave me more control and room to develop and learn. Plus I hated the thought of my "creation" sitting on a slush pile just gathering dust, without even being given a chance to be read.
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
Ebooks will be the main format, totally dominating the market I'm sure – but I am also certain that paperbacks and hard cover books will always be popular with a loyal and large section.
What genres do you write?
contemporary fiction/humorous stories for adults
What formats are your books in?

Q: Help with inequality question based on the exponential series Here is a very old Year 12 (high school) exam question I can't quite figure out. It has three parts and I'm stuck on the last part. This is for my maths revision only:
1) write down the series for $e^x$ and deduce that for any positive $k$ and for any positive $x$ that $e^x > x^k/k!$. This is simple enough to show as each term in the expansion is positive.
2) Find a number $A$ (doesn't have to be the smallest possible value of $A$, or even be near it) such that $e^x>x^{10}$ for all $x>A$. Using part 1) if you find $A$ such that $A^k/k!>A^{10}$ then $e^x>x^{10}$ for all $x>A$ (is that right?). This gives $A^{k-10}>k!$ and putting $k=11$ gives $A>11!$. So, take $A=11!+1$.
3) Find a number $B$ such that $e^x>100x^{10}$ for all $x>B$. This is the part I'm stuck on. Any ideas please?

A: If you simply assume $B > 100$ then your part (3) reduces to finding $B > 100$ such that $e^x > x^{11}$ for $x > B$. This is probably not the way to find the smallest such $B$, but I think it's the easiest because it directly reduces to part (2) which you already solved.

Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney Will Not Be Prosecuted in Capital Police Confrontation
Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney
Indictment Rejected For Rep. McKinney
Police Union to Study Legal Options
By Eric M. Weiss and Petula Dvorak
Washington Post Staff Writers
Saturday, June 17, 2006; B04
A D.C. grand jury has decided not to indict Rep. Cynthia McKinney (D-Ga.) for scuffling with a U.S. Capitol Police officer this year.
U.S. Attorney Kenneth L. Wainstein issued a statement yesterday saying the decision followed "an extensive and thorough" investigation by a D.C. Superior Court grand jury. The grand jury filed notice with the court that the evidence did not support an indictment, a move that Wainstein said will end the investigation.
"I am relieved that this unfortunate incident is behind me," said McKinney, 51, a six-term House member. "I accept today's grand jury finding of 'no probable cause' as right and just, and the proper resolution of this case."
McKinney said she will be pleased to continue working
"without this cloud hanging over me."
The outcome disturbed individual Capitol Police officers, who indicated that they expected McKinney to face charges in a March 29 incident that quickly generated national attention.
However, the Capitol Police department issued a statement last night saying it respected the grand jury's decision and appreciated what it termed an extensive and thorough investigation by the prosecutor's office. The department commended what it described as the professionalism of the officer involved. In the statement, the department also said the matter was diligently presented to the grand jury.
In the March 29 incident, McKinney sidestepped a Longworth House Office Building metal detector -- as House and Senate members are allowed to do. But she was not wearing her lapel pin identifying her as a member, and a police officer -- who did not recognize her -- grabbed her after she ignored his commands to stop. That was when she was alleged to have hit him in the chest.
McKinney, who is black, at first complained that she was a victim of racial profiling and accused the white officer, Paul McKenna, of inappropriately touching her. She also had dubbed the incident "much ado about a hairdo," saying that a hairstyle change this year may have made it harder for police to recognize her.
Capitol Police, meanwhile, urged the U.S. attorney's office to charge McKinney with simple assault, a misdemeanor. Prosecutors chose instead to have the grand jury review the case, and the panel heard testimony from officers and other witnesses.
Even hours before the decision was announced, police expected to hear that McKinney would be charged, said Lou Cannon, president of Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 1.
"We think the facts clearly speak for themselves in this case," Cannon said. "Our initial obvious reaction is disappointment and concern about the message this sends to America."
The police union plans to meet over the weekend to discuss strategy and determine whether it has further legal avenues. It plans to hold a news conference Monday to announce its proposals, Cannon said.
McKinney's attorney, James W. Myart Jr., said the decision not to file charges vindicated McKinney's view that she had broken no laws. "All along, the position has been that she did not commit a crime," said Myart, a civil rights lawyer from San Antonio.
After her initial accusations that Capitol Police were to blame for the controversy, McKinney took a different tack. Eight days after the episode, she took to the House floor and apologized to her colleagues. Last month, she signed onto a resolution commending the Capitol Police force for its courage and professionalism. And this month, she was spotted schmoozing with officers outside the Cannon House Office Building.
Prosecutors declined to say whether they asked the grand jury to return an indictment, noting court rules that bar them from disclosing such matters.
Two former federal prosecutors said Wainstein's use of a grand jury gave him a good read on community sentiment.
Joseph E. diGenova, a former U.S. attorney for the District, said using a grand jury to investigate was smart in this case, where there is an incident that is "politically charged, with racial overtones, and involves a public official in an embarrassing and unfortunate set of circumstances."
Eric H. Holder Jr., another former U.S. attorney who later became deputy attorney general, recalled using a grand jury to investigate a 1996 incident in which a school principal shoved a newspaper reporter. In that case, a grand jury decided to return charges.
"When you present a case to a grand jury, you are essentially letting the community decide how it views the subject matter," Holder said.
Staff writer Martin Weil contributed to this report.

This is a guest post I wrote for the lovely guys at Modern Mint, a garden design firm. I met the Director Darren Lerigo at a Garden Media Guild event, and he asked for my thoughts about what gardens offer children.
For a few scary minutes this summer I lost my three year old daughter. We'd been pottering outside one minute, and she was gone the next. I scoured the garden, then the house, then the garden again. She's quite sensible, so I was pretty sure she wouldn't have wandered off by herself. And the dogs would have made a racket if anyone had come into the garden. But as time ticked on I became worried.
I finally ran out to the road feeling a bit panic stricken. Then I spotted her on the overgrown bank at the edge of the garden.
She was quietly gathering leaves and putting them in a stacking-cup, murmuring to herself as she worked. I broke the spell, shouting that I'd been worried, why didn't she come when I called and what was she doing out there anyway?
It turned out her imaginary friend was unwell. He needed the leaves to make him better. Of course he did.
I don't really consider the bank a safe place for a young child. It's steep and rough, full of nettles, thistles and other spiky things. Not to mention the four foot drop to the lane. It's sectioned off from the main garden by a stretch of chestnut paling with a seldom used, tricky-to-open gate. I asked how she'd got out there. She answered by pushing a loosened pale to one side and squeezing back through the fence.
A big part of me wanted to say she mustn't go out there again. But I found myself just asking her to be careful. And not to eat any leaves.
Exploring, hiding, making dens and imaginary concoctions is heaps of fun for kids. Experts in child development reckon outdoor free play is really important. Especially if it involves taking reasonable risks.
Gardens offer a perfect springboard for this. Even a small plot has the potential to offer a wilderness ripe for adventures; providing adults are prepared to be a little bit indulgent.
In a medium to large garden, it's easy to let a forgotten corner run wild. Leave the hedges untrimmed, the grass uncut. Better still, sow a meadow mix to create a haven for children and nectar-lovers alike. You could leave a few bits of wood, sticks, bricks and other random stuff lying about for impromptu den-making or props.
If the untidiness is difficul t to live with, you can always screen it off with a trellis and a few climbing plants.
Smaller gardens might be able to accommodate a wigwam or two – these are easily rigged up using hazel sticks or canes from a garden centre. Build them with a wide base, at least 1.5metre diameter, and leave enough room between two of the uprights for an entrance. Runner beans or sweet peas planted in May or June will soon provide enough cover for a little-person's summer hideout.
Whatever happens, don't tell the kids what you're doing or why. Hidey holes and wildernesses are ten times more exciting if the grown-ups don't know about them. They need to feel like unchartered territory or a forbidden land.
I learnt this the hard way when we made a sweet pea castle for my daughter. She was very enthusiastic about building the structure and growing the plants, but barely ventured in there all summer. On the other hand, every under-five who came to play made a bee-line for it. No doubt they assumed they were being terribly naughty pushing through the flowers to sneak inside.
Six weeks or so ago, we plucked a couple of foxglove seedpods. Each was a little capsule filled with thousands of seeds barely the size of a pinhead.
We sprinkled them over a tray of compost to see what would happen. Within days the tray had sprouted a dense green mass of tiny seedlings.
Last year we lost several batches after they germinated, so I didn't hold out much hope for our homegrown seeds. But they kept going, and when I checked on them this week they were clearly ready for pricking out.
Since we had more than we could possibly hope to use in the garden, I decided it wouldn't be the end of the world if a few got snapped. So I let M loose on a tray of her own.
She was very careful, talking softly to them as she tucked them into their pots. But I noticed more than one looked a bit deficient in the root department after she separated it from the others.
It doesn't matter. When we were in the garden this afternoon, I noticed swathes of tiny self-sown foxglove seedlings. They're a few weeks behind the ones we pricked out, but if only a fraction survive the winter we're going to be engulfed in them come spring.
Here's a post about this year's foxgloves.
As September plods damply on, I find myself thinking about planting for next year. We have a long list of spring bulbs that we must get around to ordering. And we are going to devote much more space to alliums. But it's the late summer/autumn that we really need to plan for.
If it wasn't for Steve the garden would be quite desolate now – it was him who grew the rudbeckia, cosmos and verbena bonariensis that are keeping things colourful at the moment. He has grown some echinacea from seed this year that will hopefully survive the winter for planting out in the spring to flower late summer.

Car Slams Into Las Vegas Building; Several Injured
August 15th, 2012 by Farhan Naqvi in Car Accidents
You know what they say about real estate: it's all about location, location, location. Unfortunately, there was a real estate office in Las Vegas which just happened to be sitting in the wrong location at the wrong time – and the result was several injuries.
Just before 10:30am on Tuesday morning, a car smashed into a building housing a Century 21 real estate office a couple miles west of I-15. The auto accident occurred on South Jones Boulevard just north of Edna Avenue. There's no word on precisely what caused the car to crash into the structure, but it wound up sideways inside the office. The driver, who is paralyzed below the waist and used hand controls to operate the car, was briefly trapped and had to be extricated. He had to be taken to a nearby hospital, as were four people inside the building who were also hurt.
Though the incident is still under investigation, it appears that the fault of the accident lies with the car's driver. If this is the case, the four victims inside the office building could file personal injury lawsuits against the man. Such legal action could reimburse them for lost wages from work absenteeism and medical expenses incurred at the hospital and in the future.
However, there is a chance that the car, which was fitted especially for the disabled man, somehow suffered a malfunction which caused the crash. In this instance, the driver and the other victims could file suit against the company that added the features into the car and/or the vehicle manufacturer itself.

My focus as a composer/musician has been to bring the sacred traditions of countries and cultures together for people to experience and hear in a way that would inspire creative artists and peoples to honor their own center and move through any blockages that might be keeping them from attaining their goal.
The work of my present ensemble, The MauiLotus, which I established as a concert ensemble in which to write music for, began in 1981 under the name "Quintessence".
Our objective is to honor the roots of all cultures, joining the instruments and styles of the East and Western Traditions. I find it an interesting thing that if you take various instruments from other cultures and allow them to improvise and come together, they blend and bring such beautiful lyrical and rhythmic expression that people are very moved by it, and yet the roots are not lost.
You can hear the support of the roots of those traditions, if they were learned and honored in this way – if the people studied properly from the masters of these traditions. Then, if you hear this music, it supports itself like the Lotus Flower is supported by a deep root, like the structure of a multi-faceted symphony. It is to bring this spirit of the music to broader audiences and to allow them to unfold a cultural exchange that mutually supports global traditions equally, that I will continue to work in.
Beginnings:
I was told when I was a child of 5 years that I could not begin the formal study of music until I was 7 and had mastered reading and writing skills. After hearing this, I promptly went home and began to learn to read and write with the help of my mother. Lessons would be conducted while she did other household chores and I sat practicing at a child size desk. On my 7th birthday, I announced to my mother that "Today is the day that I get to meet my music teacher!"
She brought me to the music school in our community and they told me it would be better if I waited until I was 9 and able to read and write! After demonstrating to them that I could do this, they dubiously took me to meet my teacher. By the age of 9, my teacher felt that I had learned all that I could from her, and recommended another instructor 40 miles away at a Music Conservatory that could advance me further.
At the age of 13, I placed 1st in a Music Competition to represent New York State, then performed at an International Music Event that was to be the seed that I've continued to nurture throughout my life.
I have devoted myself to Piano, Flute, Gu Zhong, and Voice. In 1969 I was to meet musicians and composers from the U.S., Europe, S. America, and Asia that would become inspirations to me on this journey of uniting musicianship with a global vision.
In college years, I studied under Michael Tilson-Thomas, Joel Revson, Dr. Robert Mols and received tutelage from Jean Pierre Rampal.
In 1970, I traveled with The Paul Winter Consort and was deeply influenced by composer/guitarist/pianist Ralph Towner.
My meeting with bansuri flute Master Hariprasad Chaurasia was to bring me to the feet of renowned Living Treasure G.S. Sachdev, who would inspire and integrate my way of playing flute and link it to my practice of Tai Chi and Qigong. I became his student of music, and he became my student of internal qigong!
Selected Venues:
Bringing G.S. Sachdev and Master Swapan Chaudri on Tabla to Minneapolis where they were guests at our home and gave an amazing evening of music in a sold out concert.
Opening as Quintessence for Zakir Hussain on Tabla, G.S. Sachdev on Bansuri, and Ali Akbar Khan on Sarod in a night of ecstatic music making at the Guthrie Theatre, again to a sold out audience.
I sincerely hope that you enjoy and are inspired along with me on this music journey of the heart and spirit.

I am a list maker, a box-checker, and a loose planner. When I first started homeschooling, I planned out the whole year by day and by week 2 we were already off and I was reshuffling. Never again.
Now I make huge lists that include everything that relates to our topic and then I can check it off as we go. This gives us the ability to go down some rabbit holes when something grabs their interest, yet still see the finish line at the end of the year.
Big History Project has done everything for you. They provide ready-made lesson plans, blank lesson plan forms, schedules for a full year and for one semester, how to give high school credit for world history and/or science, and a lot more resources along with a forum for questions. They have an online classroom setup to add your kids and they have access to their lesson plan. Quizzes are optional and only 5 questions. I like to use them as review to make sure my younger, not quite as science-oriented 11 year old is keeping up with my 12 year old who is eating up every BHP crumb.
My lists are my way of keeping track, but they are not necessary since BHP provides everything you need. I knew we would be skipping and reformatting some things to make this high school level program work for my middle school aged students as well as scale things down from a classroom full of kids to 2.
I included in my lists a table that has every activity BHP planned by unit and section. I wanted to be able to see at a glance where we are because we actually aren't doing much on the website. We're using YouTube to watch the BHP playlist videos on the tv. I'm printing out the reading material so we can highlight the key information and vocabulary.
So prepare yourselves for big lists. I don't expect to do everything on them, but at the end of the year I'll have a good idea of what was covered along with my version of lesson plans. My state does not require any documentation, but it is nice to have just in case.
A list of all of the related books, movies, documentaries, podcasts we might want to watch.


- WWE presents a SmackDown taping from the Van Andel Arena in Grand Rapids, Michigan on November 20th. The pre-sale ends tonight at 10 pm ET, the code is SHEAMUS.
- JBL will begin his climb of Africa's Mount Kilimanjaro next week. JBL posted a Facebook blog about the upcoming climb, which you can read here.


location is on the center of town and easy to go everywhere. service isn't good, received incomplete items. ( have to ask will get them ) and can't resolve water heater problem. In this price should include some simple breakfast.
The picture you see is not what you get. The room is old but it would be ok , if it at least clean. The room is dirty so did the bed sheet. The bathroom is probably the worst. It is so dirty i felt disgusted by it. The worst part of it was the water leaking and the smell of the toilet. The smell leaked in to the room. It make you feel like you sleep in the public restroom. So to sum it up. Stay somewhere else. 740 baht feel like a rip off with these experiences. The worst hotel hand down.


A group of friends and I recently took a week break in Chamonix and we were slightly disappointed with the runs (Les Tours, Les Houches, etc...). We had visited Les Gets 4 years ago on hard tails but skipped all the trails. After watching some YouTube videos we decided to take a day visit there and WOAH, we were not disappointed.
As long as you can ride a bike, there is something here for you! You'll see; families pootering around on green runs, to (potential) pros doing jumps and tricks you didn't even know were possible. One major benefit of this bike park (and any in a ski resort) is that you can see a lot of the trails whilst riding the lifts. This gives you ample opportunity to pick your lines and watch others from a birds eye view.
- Green long smooth tracks, 2-3 small optional table top jumps, fun, easy, worth doing whatever yourt skill level. I'd recommend only doing the green from the main lift station to the other lift station. The green trail that takes you all the way back to the bottom of the main lift station is just a standard fire road with no features. Family friendly.
- Blue A lot more interesting than the Green, smooth, relatively fast, plenty of berms and small jumps. Nothing dangerous as you'd expect, great for testing out any tricks and flicks.
- Red This is where the fun really begins, the NUMBER 8 starts from the top of the main lift and although it's one big run, you can split it into 3 parts where the fire roads cut through it. You'll start feeling the pounding after a day on this run! All the reds offer switchbacks, berms, table top jumps, gap jumps. You usually are warned with signs of features to be careful of. Everything is rollable.
- Black I didn't see any dedicated black only routes but these spring up on some of the red runs. There is a Jump Park which covers a lot of the black. I didn't do any myself but there were by very tall and long jumps for anyone with the balls and skillz.
We paid 24 Euros for a day's pass (think it was 19 for ½ day) and it was definitely money well spent. If you enjoy other bike parks and haven't been spoiled with Whistler (Canada), this would definitely be one to check out. In just a day I had incrased my downhill speed, jump technique and confidence.
This was defiantly the best day I've had on a mountain bike and my biggest regret was going to Chamonix instead of Les Gets. Still, there's always next year !!!

Here's How Voters Feel About Relevance of Hillary and Bill Clinton's Controversial Marriage Drama
Jon Street

WASHINGTON (AP) -- It's fair game. It's ancient history.
It's political. It's personal.
Like it or not, the long-running drama of Hillary Clinton's marriage - her husband's infidelity and how she dealt with it - is back as a subtext in this year's presidential race.
The issue has a new, sharper edge this time: Voters are processing old events in an era of heightened concern about sexual assault and after Republican Donald Trump characterized candidate Clinton as an "enabler" of her husband's indiscretions and alleged that she had helped to discredit his accusers.
Both Clintons have tried not to engage, each uttering the identical "I have no response" when questioned separately about the matter.
And plenty of Americans are right there with them on that: Bring up Bill's behavior and Hillary's coping techniques and they suddenly become monosyllabic and start glancing around for the exits.
But Hillary Clinton has plopped the question squarely in Americans' laps not long before the Iowa caucuses Monday open voting in the 2016 campaign.
"I'm going to let the American voters decide what's relevant and what's not relevant," she said when asked about Trump's accusations during a recent Democratic debate.
Interviews with dozens of potential voters around the country reveal strong and opposing views about how - and whether - Clinton should be measured by how she dealt with her husband's behavior.
"The personal stuff is irrelevant," pronounces Brian Brown, a 56-year-old former professor and Democrat from Antrim, New Hampshire, who's having coffee with a friend at Dunkin' Donuts.
"I don't like how she swept it under the rug, but then again, you don't know what goes on behind the scenes," says Jeff Daignault, a 46-year-old independent from Largo, Florida, who's having lunch at a highway rest area.
"Hillary was an accomplice," says Amy Stricker, a 57-year-old conservative from Rochester Hills, Michigan, who's eating a sandwich in Denver, Colorado, on her way to visit family in the state.
Judith Hoffman, a 64-year-attorney from Columbus who plans to vote in Ohio's Republican primary but isn't sure whom she'll support, gives voice to the conflicting impulses that are aswirl.
She thinks the thrice-married Trump, who's known to have had one affair and has hinted at others, is hypocritical for the raising the issue.
She thinks Bill Clinton's past is a distraction from more important matters.
She doesn't respect Hillary Clinton's decision to "put up with" her husband's infidelity.
But she pauses on the question of whether Clinton's handling of her husband's behavior diminishes her standing as an advocate for women.
"I don't know that anyone can be responsible for another person," she says. But then she concludes that her gut reaction to the question is "yes," it does mar Clinton's reputation as a champion of women.
Brad Johnson, a junior at the University of Cincinnati, where he is president of the College Republicans, sees the matter as a character question and thinks he sees hypocrisy.
Clinton is "all about women's rights," he says, yet "she was ruthless of women who accused her husband of rape."
Still, he adds, "my guess is that it doesn't change anybody's mind about her."
Clinton's campaign has rejected the notion that she was actively involved in aggressive efforts by her husband's presidential campaign and the Clinton White House to discredit women who claimed to have had affairs with her husband or to have been sexually assaulted by him.
"These are attempts to draw Hillary Clinton into decades-old allegations through fabrications that are unsubstantiated," campaign spokesman Brian Fallon said Wednesday. "Hillary Clinton has spent her whole life standing up for women, and charges to the contrary are grossly unfair and untrue."
Allegations of womanizing, extramarital affairs and abuse have trickled out over the course of Bill Clinton's political life, including a wave of what his campaign referred to as "bimbo eruptions" when he first ran for president in 1992 and still more allegations of misbehavior after investigators in 1997 started looking into Clinton's sexual encounters with White House intern Monica Lewinsky.
Clinton was impeached over the Lewinsky affair. In 1998, he agreed to an $850,000 settlement with state worker Paula Jones, who had accused Clinton of exposing himself and making indecent propositions when Clinton was governor. The settlement included no apology or admission of guilt.
Former President Bill Clinton, left, is seen on March 9, 2004 in New York. Monica Lewinsky, is shown in an undated promotional photo provided by Fox. Sen. Rand Paul said Sunday, Jan. 26, 2014 on NBC's "Meet the Press." that Democrats should remember President Clinton's sexual affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky before turning their criticism to Republicans' attitudes toward women. (AP Photo/Mary Altaffer/FOX, S.Jones, File)
Clinton also acknowledged in a deposition that he'd had a single sexual encounter with former TV reporter Gennifer Flowers, who claimed they had a 12-year affair while he was Arkansas governor. Among other accusers: Nurse Juanita Broaddrick in 1999 claimed she was raped by then-state Attorney General Clinton at a Little Rock hotel in 1978. Kathleen Willey, a White House volunteer, claimed Clinton fondled her when she met privately with him at the White House in 1993 to seek a job. Clinton denied the allegations by Broaddrick and Willey.
For much of that tumultuous time, Hillary Clinton stood by her husband publicly and cast his accusers as part of a "vast right-wing conspiracy."
Writings about the Clinton White House years suggest she was more active behind the scenes, helping to drive political and legal strategy to defend her husband during the Lewinsky investigation. Her friend Diane Blair wrote in her diary that Hillary Clinton had called Lewinsky a "narcissistic loony tune." Former Clinton aide George Stephanopoulos, in his 1999 memoir, recalled Clinton in 1992 saying of one woman who claimed to have been propositioned by her husband, "We have to destroy her story." Three people signed affidavits denying those allegations by Connie Hamzy.
It's no small matter for Clinton, who draws a lopsided share of her support from female voters and for decades has made advocacy for women a big part of her persona. It's especially important as she tries to attract a generation of younger women who only learned about the Clinton presidency in history class and have come of age in a time of different attitudes toward sexual harassment and abuse.
Clinton herself has made the treatment of sexual assault victims a key issue this campaign.
"I want to send a message to every survivor of sexual assault," Clinton said in one of her campaign ads last year. "Don't let anyone silence your voice. You have a right to be heard and you have a right to believed. We're with you."
When a young woman asked Clinton at a town-hall meeting in New Hampshire whether that message also applies to those who accused her husband of sexual impropriety, though, her answer was more convoluted.
"Everybody should be believed at first until they are disbelieved based on evidence," she said.
The Clintons' complicated marriage has been parsed and pondered for decades. By the 2008 campaign, it wasn't much of an issue.
But this time, Trump has shown he's willing to toss a match on the kindling: The GOP presidential contender put out an Instagram video that mashed together photos of Hillary and Bill Clinton, Bill Cosby, onetime White House intern Monica Lewinsky and disgraced former Rep. Anthony Weiner, and ended it with the sarcastic tag line "true defender of women's rights."
Add to that, several of Bill Clinton's old accusers are re-airing their allegations now through Twitter, websites and appearances on conservative media outlets, and suggesting that Hillary Clinton was at least supportive of efforts at the time to discredit them.
I was 35 years old when Bill Clinton, Ark. Attorney General raped me and Hillary tried to silence me. I am now 73....it never goes away.
— Juanita Broaddrick (@atensnut) January 6, 2016
Clinton's Democratic rival, Bernie Sanders, complains about being asked about the Clintons' "personal stuff" when he'd rather focus on issues. But he's also made clear he considers Bill Clinton's past behavior "totally, totally, totally disgraceful and unacceptable."
Many potential voters, too, seem loath to get into the "personal stuff."
Democrat Richard Hoffman, 63, a retired chemist in Littleton, Colorado, thinks it's unfair to lay anything on Hillary Clinton.
"If anything, she was the injured party," he says.
Self-described progressive Rine Kasckow, a junior at the University of Wyoming, says it's time to look forward, not back.
"Why do I care if a woman does or doesn't leave her husband?" she asks. "It's just a ridiculous notion."
But the old Clinton baggage - a suitcase with different contents to different voters - still is a burden to be lugged by the former first lady.
Kay Sherman, a 70-year-old Republican from St. Petersburg, Florida, says she doesn't want to judge Clinton on how she handled a tough situation.
Still, she says, Clinton "could have stood up for women more." Her actions, Sherman says, "kind of said to women, 'It's OK.' "
"It will probably come up in the campaign," says Sherman. "I'd rather it not, though."

Q: Python requests WWW-Authenticate missing in headers I'm trying to access the WWW-Authenticate header after a GET request using Python's requests library. When I do this in Postman it returns it but in Python it doesn't.

Postman:

I've tried every headers param I can find but can't seem to return the WWW-Authenticate response header which I need...any help would be much appreciated.
Edit:
Within Postman, it looks to be the Host key in the headers get request that's generating the WWW-Authenticate in the response headers. When I remove it (in Postman) I get only a handful of headers in the response headers. But how would I replicate this in Python's requests library?
This is what it says when hovering over the Host header in GET:

A: Pass the request headers to the server:
# requests.get(f"{site}/_vti_bin/client.svc/", auth=auth)
requests.get(f"{site}/_vti_bin/client.svc/", headers=headers, auth=auth)

A: You are not using that headers dict when sending the request.
You can easily debug what was actually sent accessing the request property from the response you got without additional software
response = requests.get(
    f"{site}/_vti_bin/client.svc/",
    auth=('something@email.com', 'somepasswordhere'),
    headers=headers,
)
print(response.request.headers)
print(response.headers)

so you can inspect all those additional headers (but not the Host header https://stackoverflow.com/a/57771006/11715259)
See https://docs.python-requests.org/en/latest/user/advanced/#prepared-requests

Yet, I truly recommend you get used to throw in a reverse proxy for debugging.
https://mitmproxy.org/ is quite great for this, much more playful than tcpdump/wireshark if you only work with the http protocol.

A:
When I do this in Postman it returns it but in Python, it doesn't.

You are passing only the basic auth parameter to your request.
You should provide headers whose are set by Postman to get a response like it.
import requests

headers = {
    "Accept": "application/json, */*",
    "User-Agent": "PythonRuntime/3.9.7",
    "Accept-Encoding": "gzip, deflate, br",
    "Connection": "keep-alive",
    "Access-Control-Expose-Headers": "x-WWW-Authenticate",
    "x-requested-with": "XMLHttpRequest",
    "sec-fetch-site": "same-origin",
    "sec-fetch-mode": "cors",
    "Authorization": "Bearer <token>"
}

response = requests.get(
   url="https://YourSPOSiteURL/_vti_bin/client.svc/",
   auth=("something@email.com", "somepasswordhere"),
   headers=headers
)

print(response.headers.get("WWW-Authenticate"))
