Joey Bosa, Los Angeles Chargers star, to land on IR
Stacey Mickles | 4 months ago
The Los Angeles Chargers received some bad news Wednesday when it was announced that Joey Bosa will be put on the injured reserved list.
Bosa is going to need surgery for a groin tear. Going on IR normally means you are going to miss 4-6 weeks or more of action.
The Chargers have been hit with a ton of injuries this season so far which explains why they have a 1-2 record.
Head coach Brandon Staley talked about Bosa's injury (Via ESPN).
"It's going to be a ways, but we expect him to come back (this season)," he said. "He's optimistic and ready to attack it. He's in a really good frame of mind. It's never easy when you have an injury like that."
Fortunately for the Chargers, no one has really been dominant in their division. The Kansas City Chiefs and Denver Broncos are both 2-1, while the Chargers are 1-2, and the Las Vegas Raiders sit last at 0-3.
That's the good news for the Chargers. Hopefully, Bosa will be back in time to help his team make a playoff run down the road, at least that's the hope.

What's wrong with rights
Our thanks to the grumpy old blogger Grumpy Old Liberal, who recommends a new book called Defending Politics by Professor Matthew Flinders of the University of Sheffield. The publisher's website summarises the book's central thesis:
Matthew Flinders makes a highly unfashionable but incredibly important argument of almost primitive simplicity: democratic politics delivers far more than most members of the public appear to acknowledge and understand. If more and more people are disappointed with what modern democratic politics delivers then is it possible that the fault lies with those who demand too much, fail to acknowledge the essence of democratic engagement and ignore the complexities of governing in the twentieth century rather than with democratic politics itself? Is it possible that the public in many advanced liberal democracies have become 'democratically decadent' in the sense that they take what democratic politics delivers for granted? Would politics be interpreted as failing a little less if we all spent a little less time emphasising our individual rights and a little more time reflecting on our responsibilities to society and future generations?
If this publisher's blurb is anything to go by, Flinders is right on the money. We need more emphasis on the need for a just society, in which people's life chances are not diminished by social class, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation or any other factor beyond their control. The emphasis on individual rights has hindered not helped the cause of social justice. It has turned the debate into a pissing contest between self-interested groups with competing claims to victimhood, while those most in need have been left behind.
Things went wrong in the 1980s. The main reason the left completely failed to mount a serious intellectual challenge to Thatcherism is that it had become self-obsessed. As I wrote in my chapter of Reinventing the State:
The right may have believed that 'there is no such thing as society' but there is a tendency to forget that, during the 1980s, the left became just as self-indulgent. It was the decade of being 'right on', when the left abandoned its traditional social concerns and instead emphasised the solipsistic obsessions of identity politics, a movement that rapidly descended into our present-day culture of victimhood.
We can see this phenomenon at work within the Liberal Democrats. The party has set up a 'Candidate Leadership Programme' "to identify, develop and support some of the best candidates from under-represented groups within the Party". Yet some of the 40 places on this programme have been allocated to privileged white women at the expense of ethnic minority candidates, which has led to a furious dispute between those responsible for the programme and Ethnic Minority Liberal Democrats. Such outcomes are inevitable when attempts to create greater justice are perverted by competing claims to victimhood, especially when this enables the sharp elbows of the middle classes to hog resources and opportunities originally intended for those who are genuinely disadvantaged.
Self-centred demands also create a problem for democratic politics in general, because they are bound to lead to dissatisfaction. With the best will in the world, democratic politics simply cannot satisfy millions of individualised wants simultaneously. Markets can do that, which if fine if you are choosing a car, a washing machine or a packet of breakfast cereal – and you have sufficient money to make a real choice. But when it comes to the 'commonweal', our shared interests, democratic politics is the only power available to most people to make meaningful choices. However, the job of democratic politics is to reconcile rather than gratify. It cannot function properly without a sense that we share the same space and are not merely out to seek personal advantage or instant gratification.
Liberals are always vulnerable to charges of promoting selfish individualism. We must always be clear that, when we talk about individual liberty, we are cherishing the uniqueness of each and every person, and seeking liberty and life chances for each and every person. But this approach can work only in the context of a society in which mutual respect is fostered. That is why we should always place individual rights in the context of an overall demand for social justice, and why demands for 'rights' irrespective of other people's needs are wrong.
So the next time you hear a wealthy and privileged party member pleading victimhood to gain personal advantage, challenge them with this simple question: "Why is it always about you?"

Cynthia Moody obituary
Cynthia Moody inherited the estate of her uncle, Ronald Moody, in 1984. She immediately set about cataloguing and promoting his art work
Anne Walmsley
Mon 15 Jul 2013 12.52 EDT
My friend Cynthia Moody, who has died aged 89, was a film-maker and editor by profession and devoted her retirement to documenting, safeguarding and promoting the work of the sculptor Ronald Moody, her uncle. Ronald's Johanaan, carved in elm in 1936, has frequently been on display since its acquisition by the Tate in 1992. His high standing as a sculptor owes much to Cynthia's astute judgment and persistent diplomacy.
Cynthia was born in London. Her mother, Ruby, was Welsh. Her father, Charles, was born in Jamaica and then became a dentist in Britain. Harold, her eldest uncle, was the founder of the League of Coloured Peoples.
Cynthia spent part of her childhood in Jamaica, returning to Britain aged 13. After secondary school, and a brief spell in the Women's Royal Naval Service, she worked for the Shell Film Unit, receiving a thorough training in all aspects of film. She became a respected director and editor, setting up two companies – one for documentaries, the other advertisements. Much travel on the continent was involved, and collaboration with leading directors and actors such as Alberto Cavalcanti, Peter Finch and Jacques Tati. Her documentaries included one about first world war veterans returning to France, which was broadcast on Channel 4 on Armistice Day.
Upon Ronald's death in 1984, and soon after she moved from London to Bristol, Cynthia inherited his estate. The practical and administrative skills of her career in film were put to brilliant use. She traced work already sold or missing: the return to Britain of Midonz (1937), after almost 60 years in US gallery storage, was a triumph of detective work and perseverance.
She entered all known details of each work, and a photo, on to "dope sheets" which are close to a definitive catalogue raisonné, now held at the Tate archive. All unsold work was sensitively displayed and tended in her spacious Bristol flat while she lived there. Cynthia's promotion of Ronald's work ranged from texts in scholarly journals to productive approaches to leading art collections. Solo shows of Ronald's work were mounted at Tate Britain and Tate Liverpool in 2004.
Cynthia was fiercely insistent that Ronald be accepted as a British artist and avoid the marginalisation which dogged him in his later years. She maintained good contacts with art institutions in Jamaica, setting up a Ronald Moody award. In Britain, she established fruitful friendships with artists of Caribbean birth or ancestry.
Wherever Cynthia worked, travelled and lived she made staunch friends. She was immensely sociable; her cooking and her parties were legendary and her all-consuming laughter infectious. Two Bristol friends enabled her to live independently at her flat with her beloved cats almost to the end, despite her failing memory.
Cynthia's first marriage, and later ones to Neil Arden and David Hussey, ended in divorce.

\section{Introduction}
Consider a bounded domain $D \subset {\mathbb R}^n$, $n = 3,$ with a
connected Lipschitz  boundary $S$. Let $F$ be an
arbitrary small, fixed, open subset on $S$,
$F'=S\setminus F$,  and $N$ be the outer unit normal
to $S$.
The domain $D$ is the obstacle. Consider the scattering problem:
$$\nabla^2 u+k^2 u=0 \hbox{\ in\ } D':={\mathbb R}^3\setminus D, \quad
  u = w \hbox{\ on\ } F,  \quad u_N+hu = 0 \hbox{\ on\ } F'. \eqno{(1)}$$
Here $w$ is the function we can set up at will, the control function,
$h$ is a piecewise-continuous function, $\hbox{\,Im\,} h\geq 0$, and $k>0$ is a
fixed constant.  The function
$u$ satisfies the following condition:
$$ u=u_0+v, \quad u_0=e^{ik\alpha \cdot x}, \eqno{(2)}$$
and
$$v=\frac {e^{ikr}}r A(\beta, \alpha)+o\left(\frac 1 r\right
) \quad
r:=|x|\to
\infty,\,\, \beta:=\frac x r.
\eqno{(3)}$$
The function $A(\beta, \alpha)$ is called the scattering amplitude,
$\alpha, \beta \in S^2$ are the unit vectors, $S^2$ is the unit
sphere, $\alpha$, the
direction of the incident wave $u_0$, is assumed fixed, so
$A(\beta, \alpha)=A(\beta)$.
Problem (1)-(3) has a unique solution ([1]).

Define the cross
section $\sigma$, or the total radiation from the obstacle, as
$$\sigma=\int_{S^2} |A(\beta)|^2d\beta. \eqno{(4)}$$

The problem is:

 {\it Given an arbitrary small $\epsilon>0$, can one choose $w$ so that
$\sigma<\epsilon$ ?}

If this choice is possible, we call the obstacle "invisible"
for the fixed $\alpha$ and $k$.

Our basic result is the following theorem:

{\bf Theorem 1.} {\it  Given an arbitrary small $\epsilon>0$ and an
 arbitrary small open subset $F\in S$, one can find $w\in C^\infty_0(F)$
such that $\sigma<\epsilon$. The same result holds for the boundary conditions
$u|_F=w$, $u|_{F'}=0$.}

A similar problem was first posed and solved in [2], where
the Neumann boundary condition was assumed and the control function
was not $u$ on $F$, but $u_N$ on $F$. The boundary conditions
in this paper allow one to consider impedance obstacles, so it broadens
the possible applications of our theory. Inverse problems for scattering
by obstacles are considered in [1] and [3].

In Section 2 proofs are given.

\section{Proofs.}

{\bf Proof of Theorem 1.}

By Green's formula we get
$$
v(x)=\int_{F'} G(x,s)(u_{0N}+hu_0) ds+\int_{F}G_N(x,s)vds,
 \eqno{(5)}$$
where $G$ is the Green's function:
$$
\nabla^2G+k^2G=-\delta(x-y) \quad \hbox{\,\, in \,\,} D', \quad
\lim_{|x|\to
\infty}|x|(\frac {\partial G}{\partial |x|}-ikG)=0,
 \eqno{(6)}$$
and
$$
G_N+hG=0 \quad \hbox{\,\, on \,\,} F',\quad G=0 \quad \hbox{\,\, on
\,\,} F.
\eqno{(7)}$$

By Ramm's lemma ([1], p.46), one gets:
$$
G(x,y)=\frac{e^{ikr}}{4\pi r}\psi(y,\nu) +o\left(\frac 1 r\right),\quad
r:=|x|\to \infty, \,\, \frac x r=-\nu.
\eqno{(8)}$$
Here $\psi$ is the scattering solution:
$$
\nabla^2\psi+k^2\psi=0  \quad \hbox{\,\, in \,\,} D', \quad
\psi_N+h\psi=0 \,\, \hbox{\,\, on \,\,} F',\,\, \psi=0 \hbox{\,\, on
\,\,} F,
\eqno{(9)}$$
and
$$
\psi=e^{ik\nu \cdot x}+\eta,\quad \lim_{|x|\to
\infty}|x|(\eta_r-ik\eta)=0.
\eqno{(10)}$$
Using (4), (5) and (8), we get:
$$
 A(\beta)= \frac 1 {4\pi}\int_{F'}\psi(s, -\beta)(u_{0N}+hu_0)ds+
\frac 1 {4\pi}\int_{F}(w-u_0)\psi_N(s, -\beta)ds,
\eqno{(11)}$$
and
$$
\sigma=\int_{S^2}|A_0(\beta)-A_1(\beta)|^2d\beta,
\eqno{(12)}$$
where
$$
A_0(\beta):= \frac 1 {4\pi}\int_{F'}\psi(s, -\beta)(u_{0N}+hu_0)ds
- \frac 1 {4\pi}\int_{F}u_0\psi_N(s, -\beta)ds,
\eqno{(13)}$$
and
$$
A_1(\beta):=\frac 1 {4\pi}\int_{F}w(s) \psi_N(s, -\beta)ds.
\eqno{(14)}$$

The conclusion of Theorem 1 follows immediately from Lemma 1.

{\bf Lemma 1}. {\it Given an arbitrary function $f\in L^2(S^2)$ and
an arbitrary small $\epsilon>0$, one can find $w\in C^\infty_0(F)$,
such that $||f(\beta)-A_1(\beta)||<\epsilon$, where
$||\cdot||:=||\cdot||_{L^2(S^2)}$.}

Indeed, one can take $f(\beta)=A_0(\beta)$ and use Lemma 1.

Let us prove Lemma 1.

If this lemma is false, then there is an $f\in
L^2(S^2),\,\, f\neq 0$, such that
$$
\int_{S^2}d\beta f(\beta)\int_F ds w(s)\psi_N(s, -\beta)=0 \quad \forall w\in
C^\infty_0(F).
\eqno{(15)}$$
This implies
$$
\int_{S^2}d\beta f(\beta)\psi_N(s, -\beta)=0 \quad \forall s\in F.
\eqno{(16)}$$
Define the function
$$
z(x):=\int_{S^2}d\beta f(\beta)\psi(x, -\beta).
\eqno{(17)}$$
This function solves equation
$$\nabla^2 z+k^2z=0 \hbox{\,\,in \,\,} D'$$ and satisfies the boundary
conditions:
$$z=z_N=0 \hbox{\,\,on \,\,} F.$$ By the uniqueness of the solution to
the Cauchy problem for
elliptic equations, this implies
$$z(x)=0  \quad \hbox{\, \, in \, \,} D'.
\eqno{(18)}$$
It follows from (18) that $f=0$. This contradiction proves Lemma 1 and,
consequently, Theorem 1.

To complete the proof, let us derive from (18) that $f=0$.
The function $$\psi (x,\beta)=T e^{ik\beta \cdot x},$$
 where $T$ is a linear
boundedly invertible operator, acting on the $x$ variable only (see [1]).
The specific form of $T$ is not important for our argument.
Applying the inverse operator $T^{-1}$ to  (17) and taking into account
(18), one gets:
$$
\int_{S^2}d\beta f(\beta)e^{-ik\beta \cdot x}=0 \quad \forall x\in D'.
\eqno{(19)}$$
The left-hand side in (19) is an entire function of $x$. Therefore
(19) implies
$$
\int_{S^2}d\beta f(\beta)e^{-ik\beta \cdot x}=0 \quad \forall x\in {\mathbb R}^3.
\eqno{(20)}$$
Equation (20) means that the Fourier transform of the distribution
$f(\beta) \frac{\delta(|\xi|-k)}{|\xi|^2}$ equals to zero. Here $\xi=|\xi|\beta$ is
the dual to $x$ Fourier transform variable.
By the injectivity of the Fourier transform, it follows that this
distribution equals to zero, so $f=0$, and the proof is completed.
The last statement of Theorem 1 is proved similarly.     {\hfill $\Box$}

\section{Conclusion}

The basic result of this note is the proof of the following
statement:

{\it By choosing a suitable control function on an arbitrarily small open
subset of the boundary of a bounded obstacle, one can make the total
radiation from this obstacle, although positive, but as small as one
wishes, for a fixed wave number and a fixed direction of the incident
wave. Thus, the obstacle can be  made practically invisible.  }

Wissam Ben Yedder and Les Bleus qualified for Euro 2020!
Kiel Bonhomme - 15 November 2019
© Wissam Ben Yedder and Les Bleus qualified for Euro 2020!
Despite a lackluster performance, France beat Moldova yesterday at the Stade de France (2-1) and qualified for Euro 2020. If Wissam Ben Yedder did not come into play, the former Monegasque players Thomas Lemar and Kylian Mbappé, took part in this match. Didier Deschamps is expected to rotate his squad next Sunday night in Albania.
Admittedly, Lloris, Matuidi, Pogba, and Hernandez were absent, but no spectator imagined that a victory against the modest Moldova football side would have been so hard-fought. Trailing by a goal conceded in the 9th minute (Lenglet's poorly directed header was capitalized on by Rata who beat a confused Mandanda), the French team returned to tie the game before half-time thanks to Varane. In the second half, les Bleus leaned on a penalty obtained by Digne and converted by Giroud to take the lead (2-1, 79th). France will play the upcoming Euro 2020 tournament, and that is what is essential.
Ben Yedder to start Sunday?
In the field, Olivier Giroud was in attack alongside Kylian Mbappé and Antoine Griezmann. Didier Deschamps did not include Wissam Ben Yedder in the rotation. On Sunday, for the last qualifying match that will take place in Albania, the French coach could start the French striker and give a rest to Mbappé or Griezmann. Brilliant at the moment (9 goals in Ligue 1), Ben Yedder has set the personal goal of playing the Euro 2020. The good news for him is that France is now certain to participate!

« Is it The Council's job ?
I am a great believer in the use of humour for getting an important message across. Of course there is the place for a serious, firm message and humour isn't by any means appropriate for every type of communiqué. But I do think that it's time that we all went back to the drawing board about the "don't litter" message and spent some time thinking about how we can get the message across in a more effective and more appealing way.
I have come across some brilliantly humorous anti-litter messages over the last few years. Take, for instance, the sign on the side of a pub in Devon : "when the road and the plant pots are full, please use the ashtray below" and the wonderful cartoon below that I spotted in the Lake District of a dog saying to its owner "I've done my job – now do yours" (although I did worry that it could have been misunderstood and might have resulted in human as well as dog poo on the streets…..).
I also liked the sign from America which said "Do not throw cigarette butts on the ground – our squirrels are getting cancer". And, of course, the iconic photo below staged by the Marine Conversation Society – "No butts on the beach" (you can click on the photo to get a better view of it).
So I was delighted to read an article from Nashville, Tennessee which announced a novel anti-litter campaign which was using humour to get the message across. The essence of the "Littering is wrong too" campaign is that there are all sorts of things that we all instinctively know are wrong – so why shouldn't we all regard littering in this category too ?
The campaign's amusing examples of things that are just plain wrong include : networking at a funeral, breaking up on Valentine's Day and proposing marriage on a blind date. The campaign is inviting Nashvillians to submit more suggestions of things that are obviously wrong, with the winning suggestions being featured on public billboards. So far, the cream of what the Nashville public have suggested is : "Dad's dance moves", "sandals with socks", "Grandma's thong" and "warm beer".
So, if you like this idea, please leave a comment below with your own suggestion of something that is just plain wrong and perhaps we can inspire the creation of a humorous but effective message that will appeal to some of those people who litter and who haven't been swayed by sterner exhortations.

Q: Table with several titles I want to creat a table with several titles to highlight different areas.
Basically, the structure needs to look like that:

    Title 1

    Col 1
    Col 2

    Col 3
    Col 4

    Title 2

    Col 5
    Col 6

    Col 7
    Col 8

    Col 8
    Col 10

But I'm not sure, whether it's valid code.
Is there a proper tag for the title?
Here is a FIDDLE.

A: You should use  tag for the title.
UPD By the way, you can check whether the code is valid or not by using this validator

A: A proper way would be like this, using th with a colspan of 2 to span the 2 columns.

Q: Pickle give Ran out of input while the file is not empty Maybe this question has been asked many times in stackoverflow . But i can't find a solution for my code .
So , it's a very simple Def that get the data from a file called eleve.dat , then put it into a list in way to use the data from the classes inside that file .
so here is my code :
def show() :
E = []
file = open("d:\BullApp\eleve.dat", 'rb')
ch =""

while True :
    e = load(file)
    E.append(e)

While running it using a Qt5 button (it's an application for school project ) it gives me this error :

And i want to mention that the Binary file eleve.dat isn't empty and the other function of filling the file works perfectly .
So , i hope i find solution about this , and please don't put my Question as Duplicate because i didn't found the anwser yet .
And thanks in advance .

A: From the code it seems you have an infinite loop. Right now I can think of only 2 options best for you.
1 - Check whether you are really getting values by printing them
...
while True :
    e = load(file)
    print(e)
    E.append(e)

If yes then you can terminate at the end of file like this
...
while True :
    try:
        e = load(file)
        print(e)
        E.append(e)
    except EOFError:
        pass

2 - Which is my personal favorite to save and load data, my save_and_load.py script.
import pickle
def save(data, file_name):
    with open(file_name + '.dat', 'wb') as f:
        f.write(pickle.dumps(data))

def load(file_name):
    with open(file_name + '.dat', 'rb') as f:
        return(pickle.loads(f.read()))

You can read about pickle here. Short and simple :)


A report from the United Kingdom Department for Communities and Local Government, 'Working with Troubled Families', has examined evidence gathered from academic publications, local evaluations, practitioners and families about what works to make a positive difference for troubled families. 'Troubled families' are defined a 'those that have problems and often cause problems to the community around them, putting high costs on the public sector' (p.9).
These intervention factors resonate with the findings of our evaluation of the Kaitoko Whānau (family support workers) initiative, and with what we have heard anecdotally from whānau (Māori family) navigators involved in the Whānau Ora (Māori family wellbeing) initiative. What makes these navigation initiatives stand out is that they provide whānau with an alternative to services that they have not been able to access, that have made them feel less than human, or that have misunderstood their issues and their priorities and cared little about their aspirations.
My aim in this post is to think through our own understandings in light of the UK findings.
The UK report (p.17) states that 'much of the success of family intervention work is due to the skills of individual workers, both in building an honest and productive relationship with a family and influencing the actions of other agencies around that family'. Kaitoko Whānau are skilled at establishing whakapapa (genealogical) connections with whānau (Māori families) as they are often from, and living in, the community in which they work. It is from this foundation that respectful and trusting relationships are built, and whānau are able to share the full story of their circumstances (whereas they may only have told small parts to various agencies).
The UK report (p.21) states that 'an initial focus on practical help… is important in starting to build the relationship with families'.When Kaitoko Whānau begin to work with whānau they are often providing support that helps whānau move out of a crisis (e.g., intervening in homelessness). The ability of Kaitoko Whānau to work alongside whānau to make something positive happen, where previously whānau may have been at a loss of who to turn to or how to get help, strengthens their relationship with whānau.
The UK report (p.23) describes the persistence of intervention workers when families are not interested in being helped. We did not find this in our evaluation of Kaitoko Whānau, as the whānau being helped often sought out the Kaitoko Whānau when they were in crisis or had no-one else to turn to. Persistence is however a characteristic of some Māori health educators or navigators who are determined to reach those in their communities who are not managing their long-term conditions well. This is about being assertive and challenging because they care about the health and quality of the life of those they are trying to reach.
In the UK report a focus on the whole family sets family intervention workers apart from those services that are delivered to individuals. Kaitoko Whānau work with whānau because it's in their job description, their name, and in their very nature to do so. Whānau are the building block of Māori society, and the current Whānau Ora (Māori family wellbeing) initiative is a strong acknowledgement of this. This initiative is not just about navigating whānau to the services they need, it is about strengthening whānau connectedness and inclusion. The Kaitoko Whānau achieve these goals.
The UK report (p.27) states that 'through family intervention, families and their problems are 'gripped' and a plan of action for resolving them developed and agreed'. We found that Kaitoko Whānau walk alongside whānau and help them both plan and achieve their goals. They are patient and consistent in their support of whānau, and as a result whānau have been helped to access services and motivated to change their lives in line with their own goals and aspirations.
It was clear that a unique whānau-centred approach was emerging from an organic, collaborative relationship between host organisation, Kaitoko Whānau worker, community, hapū [sub-tribes] and iwi [tribes]. Kaitoko Whānau were clear that a whānau-led, solution-based services means exactly that. Validating whānau perspectives of their situation, supporting whānau to identify their needs, encouraging whānau to make steps forward and drawing up plans that clearly illustrate what whānau are saying, were the hallmarks of the Kaitoko Whānau whānau-centred approach.

A Hub for Civil Rights Lost to Demolition
By Eli Pousson
1234 Druid Hill Avenue had a story unlike any other. When builders erected the house in the nineteenth century it was one of many handsome Italianate rowhouses in the northwestern suburbs of the city. In 1899, as the neighborhood changed from white to black, Harry S. Cummings, a local African American politician and lawyer, moved into the house with his family. Cummings had graduated from the University of Maryland Law School (one of the first two black men to do so) and, in 1890, became the first African American elected to a Baltimore City Council seat. Cummings lived in the home until 1911, when he moved up the street into another Druid Hill Avenue rowhouse, where he lived until his death in 1917.
In the 1950s and 1960s, the building served as offices to the local chapter of the NAACP, hosting Martin Luther King and Eleanor Roosevelt when they came to Baltimore to work with key leaders like Lillie Mae Carroll Jackson. In 1970, the property became "Freedom House" and continued to serve as a central hub of activism. By December 1977, the organization had "received many citations including the AFRO's highest honor for its successful crusades in reducing unemployment, crime and delinquency." When Dr. Jackson donated the house to Bethel AME Church in 1977, the deed required that the property remain in community use or revert back to the ownership of her family.
Immediately next door to the site of Freedom House is 1232 Druid Hill Avenue. As late as 1930, the 1232 Druid Hill Avenue served as a residence, then home to Mrs. Ida Barber (née King). That same year, the property is listed as a residence by Rev. J.E. Lee. By 1934, the property was listed in local directories as the office of W. Owens Stewart in his role as Superintendent of Mt. Zion Cemetery for the Baltimore A. M. E. Conference. By the late 1980s, the building had been turned into the Bethel Bible Institute and also provided space for a Women's Resource and Development Center and the Bethel Christian School.
1234 Druid Hill Avenue and its neighbor at 1232 have been owned or controlled by Bethel AME Church for decades. In recent years, the buildings deteriorated significantly and, in July 2015, Baltimore Slumlord Watch highlighted their poor condition. Bethel AME Church responded to these issues by securing a city building permit for both buildings in late September that allowed non-structural alterations and limited interior demolition. Unfortunately, in October 2015 the church changed their plans and received approval from the Baltimore Housing Department to demolish 1234 Druid Hill Avenue—without notifying preservation advocates or the local chapter of the NAACP. At present, Freedom House is a vacant lot, and the future of the adjoining rowhouse at 1232 Druid Hill Avenue remains uncertain.

Sprint offers DirecTV customers free year of cell phone service
NEW YORK (AP) — Sprint is offering DirecTV customers one free year of cellphone service in a bold move aimed at the satellite TV company's new owner, AT&T.
AT&T, which bought DirecTV for $48.5 billion in July, has been promoting a bundle that knocks $10 a month off a combined bill for video and wireless phone service. For a single line, the value of Sprint's promotion is about $50 a month. It's Sprint's way of offering DirecTV customers a bundle without actually owning a video company.
Sprint, which is in the midst of a turnaround effort, has been making a range of promotional offers to lure customers. But so far, the Overland Park, Kansas, company hasn't been as successful as T-Mobile, which went through its own turnaround.
T-Mobile is now the No. 3 wireless carrier in the U.S. after surpassing Sprint this year. In the April-June quarter, Sprint lost 12,000 customers, while T-Mobile gained 760,000, in "postpaid" phone plans, the ones offered to customers with good credit. But Sprint says it's been reducing the size of its quarterly losses in customers and even saw gains in the months of May, June and July.
Craig Moffett, a senior analyst at MoffettNathanson, said the latest promotion is bold, but reckless.
"Sprint is already losing money and is burning through its remaining cash at an incredible rate," he said. "Offering free service for a year will only make a bad situation worse."
The free service will cost Sprint $600 per line, plus any charges to pay off rivals' contract-termination fees or to finish off payments under monthly installment plans.
But Roger Entner, an analyst at Recon Analytics, said the costs are justified as investments for new customers.
"When you're No. 4, you can't afford to play it safe," he said.
Dallas-based AT&T Inc. has been using the DirecTV service as a way to package wireless access and entertainment. Sprint Corp., which doesn't have the entertainment component, isn't willing to cede those customers to AT&T.
The latest promotion shows how aggressive phone companies have become as they try to lure customers from each other, given that most Americans now have cellphones.
Sprint's offer is good for up to five lines on a single account, with each getting 2 gigabytes of data each month and unlimited calls and texts. It begins Friday and runs through Sept. 30. DirecTV customers must show some proof, like a DirecTV bill from the past 60 days, when signing up. But people can still sign up for DirecTV now to get the Sprint offer.
AT&T described Sprint's offer as an act of desperation.
"This ranks right up there with a desperate Hail Mary pass to a petite defensive lineman," the company said in a statement. "With Sprint's network and the many asterisks on this deal, we're feeling good about our offers."
Sprint's network isn't as extensive as Verizon's or AT&T's, particularly in rural areas, and a free year of service isn't good if it won't work where you need it.
There are other conditions:
— Existing Sprint customers must add a new line of service to qualify. And both new and existing customers must buy or lease a new phone through Sprint; they cannot use one they already own.
— Customers must pay a one-time activation fee of $36, plus some monthly taxes and surcharges. Some taxes and surcharges are based on the number of lines rather than the cost of the plan, so customers wouldn't save anything by paying nothing for service. But similar taxes and surcharges would apply at AT&T.
— The free offer is only good for a year, but phones typically take two years to pay off. For the second year, customers would pay $50 a month for a single line to $180 for five lines. That's comparable to current rates.
— There's no option for data beyond 2 gigabytes without paying higher fees for exceeding the cap — 1.5 cents per megabyte, or $15 per gigabyte. And these aren't shared plans, so overage fees apply even if family members are below the cap. That said, 2 gigabytes is plenty for most people, unless they stream video.

Video: Cam Donald's 2015 IoM TT – Race Diary 5
Watch Cam's final Race Diary of the 2015 Isle of Man TT as he describes a series of near disasters through the Senior TT race.
2015 Isle of Man TT
Motorcycle Trader senior road tester Cam Donald was pushed to his absolute limit of physical and emotional endurance with his Norton team in the Senior Race of the Isle of Man TT.
"I've ridden through a fireball, I've been hit in the head by a seagull and now my fuel cap's come loose. Maybe today's just not my day," he said in his video diary. "To say it's been an emotional TT just doesn't scratch the surface."
In the end, Cam didn't finish on the Norton Superbike, having to withdraw from the race through teeth being torn out of the rear sproket.
He did manage a personal best lap time, though, suggesting Norton will be back bigger and better in 2016.
Watch Cam's Diary #5 here and catch up with his earlier updates through the IoM at www.camerondonald.com
Look for the full report of the 2015 Isle of Man TT in a coming issue of Motorcycle Trader.
2015 ISLE OF MAN TT: SIX THINGS LEARNED
BMW will have to work a little harder in future TTs to match the dominance it had in 2013. It could be its Tyco BMW Motorrad Racing team of Guy Martin and William Dunlop simply isn't fast enough
Yamaha did well in the 600s but it has to harden up its R1 to be competitive in the future. It expected to do better
Kawasaki, the poor Japanese cousin in MotoGP, once again proved how tough its bikes are in the real world by claiming plenty of podiums. Road racing shows up the pretenders and Kawasaki isn't one of them
Never underestimate John McGuinness. He pulled out a spectacular win in the most important race of the week after a relatively quiet lead-up. He's the real deal – a champion's champion
Bruce Anstey will be 46 on August 21 and he's as competitive as ever. Congratulations from MT on an outstanding week of racing
Four people died over the race period, one rider and three visitors. Jamie Hamilton, who crashed in the Senior TT, is still listed as being in a critical condition

VAT and charitable purpose – a not very charitable decision
Selling property is complex.
If the vendor has opted to tax its commercial property, it will claim input VAT on its costs attributable to the expected taxable supply of the property. If the purchaser is a charity, however, the vendor might receive certification from the purchase that the property will be used solely for relevant charitable purposes.
The effect of the certification is that the vendor's option to tax is disapplied and its sale to the charity becomes exempt. The attributable input VAT already claimed becomes repayable to HMRC. It is therefore important to confirm with prospective buyers at an early stage whether they intend to produce such a certificate.
The vendor will have a difficult commercial decide to make, as to whether to accept the loss of input VAT and to proceed with negotiations to sell to the charity. It is easy at such a time to overlook the validity of the certification. The risk is that HMRC will assess the vendor for the output VAT not charged on the sale of the property, with the vendor being left to recover payment of the additional amount from the purchaser, perhaps several years after the sale has completed.
This does not seem to be very charitable to the vendor, who will find it difficult to "police" the intentions of the purchaser. This was illustrated in the case of Institute For Orthodox Christian Studies, Cambridge v Revenue and Customs Commissioners ([2015] UKFTT 0449 (TC), published on 18 September 2015).
The Book Production Consultants Retirement and Death Benefit Scheme, the VAT registered entity vendor, had opted to tax its commercial property. When it came to sell to a charity, the Institute For Orthodox Christian Studies, the vendor received certification that the charity intended to use the property solely for relevant charitable purposes. The vendor duly disapplied its option to tax.
Two years later, HMRC decided that the purchaser had not used the property solely for relevant charitable purposes. The charity had rented out parts of the property which, although exempt for VAT purposes, constituted a business activity.
Instead of pursuing the purchaser for making an invalid certification, HMRC assessed the vendor for the VAT not charged on the sale of the property.
Vendors involved in the selling of property should be vigilant to various VAT risks and should take measures to protect itself accordingly.
For further information and help on VAT and property transactions, please contact the TaxDesk on 0845 4900 509 and ask for Vaughn Chown.

Chuckatuck roasted oysters coming soon

Suffolk residents will once again come together this spring to enjoy a delicious seafood feast in Chuckatuck

Suffolk residents will once again come together this spring to enjoy a delicious seafood feast in Chuckatuck.
The 42nd annual Chuckatuck Oyster Roast held by the Chuckatuck Ruritan Club is set for April 11. The roast will be held at the farm owned by Lynn and Charles Rose in the 6000 block of Everets Road. Signs will point drivers toward the event location at Stoney Landing on the property.
"Last year we pulled in about 850 people, and that's about what we're expecting this year," Kirk Pretlow, Chuckatuck Ruritan Club President and co-chairman of the oyster roast, said in a phone interview.
People will enjoy a social hour with iced tea and beer at 3 p.m., followed by the banquet at 4 p.m. Volunteers will carry 175 bushels of freshly cooked oysters to tables via wheelbarrow, with plenty of cocktail sauce to go around.
Volunteers will cut up enough potatoes, green peppers and bacon for 120 gallons of their signature clam chowder, according to Pretlow.
The recipe was cooked up by the late William "Jerry" Saunders, a Chuckatuck volunteer firefighter with 60 years of service and the department's third chief. He was also a member of the Chuckatuck Ruritan Club and helped start the oyster roast in 1976.
"We've got the same crew in line that's done the clam chowder for the last several years," Pretlow said, including Jerry's son Jay Saunders, a Chuckatuck volunteer firefighter.
Tickets are $35 in advance and $40 on the day of the event. The proceeds go to the club's efforts to support local organizations like Boy and Girls Scouts of America, Meals on Wheels and Western Tidewater Free Clinic.
"It's a lot of work, but we take pride into putting on a good function for everybody," Pretlow said.
Tickets are available at Saunders Supply Company on Godwin Boulevard, the office of Pretlow & Pretlow on North Main Street and the office of J. Dwight Bradshaw on Bennetts Pasture Road. Call 642-1257 for more information.

This is the first in a series of posts describing some of the automated tasks that run in my house.
I have a 2-year-old that goes to bed every day around the same time. He likes the night light to be on at night. Need to make the lights to turn ON and OFF on a schedule (preferably with an ability to override/cancel the entire schedule or a single event remotely).
For the source of light I chose the LED rope light strips. Rope lights come in different lengths and colors and could be interconnected to achieve desired length. I chose amber color for its soft glow and added drama. (Tip: Rope lights are available in most stores during holidays season, so stock up now while they are available at a discount price).
I picked up a 4″ moulding and some wood planks at a local hardware warehouse. The wood planks are required for rigidness of installation, since moulding is not being directly attached to the ceiling. I chose a 3/4″ triangular profile planks, but it depends on the width of the moulding you are installing. There should be at least about 3/4″ to 1″ of space above the moulding for light to come out. (Tip: Measure the thickness of the joints at both ends of the rope light, that will tell you how much space at a minimum you should leave above the moulding, or else you might have a hard time pushing the rope inside the installed moulding). Cutting moulding is not that difficult (ones you get a grip on how it's done). Buy a little extra moulding and practice. There are plenty of books available on the subject. The one I have suggests to cut and mark templates for all kinds of corners (inside, outside, left, right). That was a really good advise and it saved me lots of time on setting my compound miter saw to the right angles for all cuts. You can also check out This Old House and HGTV websites for advice.
The actual automation part included plugging in the rope light to an INSTEON LampLinc module, setting its ramp rate and brightness level. Then linking that LampLinc to a SmartLinc controller and setting a schedule on it to turn lights ON and OFF at certain time each day of the week. The lights turn ON at a preset time (say, 9pm) and go to full brightness, so we can go in and out of the room getting ready for the night, reading a book, and what not.
LampLinc is also linked to one of the 8 buttons on a KeypadLink in the master bedroom, where its brightness level is set to a dimmer setting. This allows us to dim the lights to an actual night-light mode with one key press on our way downstairs after saying good night to the kid.
Initially I planned to use light sensor to run the night lights only when it's dark to save on electric bill, but since baby's room has blackout drapes that block all outside light, I chose to use the timer instead. Also, the LED lights draw much less wattage then regular incandecent lights and they could be dimmed without annoying buzzing sound of incandescents or CFLs.
The entire project's work time was just a few days evenings. It looks pretty cool when crown moulding softly brightens to a preset level, so don't overlook this part and set the ramp rate as you desire.
Crown moulding and LED rope lights. Check your local hardware store for selection.
SmartLinc Controller – used to create timer event to turn lights ON and OFF at selected time. Also allows to control the lights from iPhone or any browser from any place on Earth.
LampLinc Dimmer – allows to remotely control a light plugged into it from any INSTEON and/or X10 compatible switch, keypad, controller or software running on a PC or Mac*.
KeypadLinc Dimmer – a keypad with 6 or 8 buttons. Turns lights ON/OFF or Dims/Brightens to a desired level.
* The computer software usually requires a power-line modem such as PowerLink (2412s or 2414u).
Thank You for outlining this so clearly. I have truly enjoyed reading it and it gave me some great ideas.
Thanks for the article. I liked it. You have a very good blog.

Q: How to display bidirectional flows? I'm working on a map showing oil shipping.  Basically, I have a a series of nodes/line segments that make up the shipping network.  I've joined the sums of oil that traveled along each node, so can show how much oil is traveling over those nodes.
How can I show the directional breakdown along each node? In other words, I'm trying to show the split each segment by the direction of the oil on it, showing that with different colors and having the pen width adjust to the size of the flow in that direction.
Edit: Could this be done with two layers, one of which is given a data-defined offset based on the width of the other layer, such that they line up with eachother?

Multiple layer version:

A: I may have a solution for you. If flow in one direction is consistently lower than in the other direction, this would work. I think you have much of the answer included in the question. I would attempt to duplicate the layer and draw the limited flow on top of the greater flow and have them both symbolized by the flow value.


Designed specially for electrical cabinets and boxes in new-generation EPR nuclear facilities, the retractable EPR handle secures these at-risk environments effectively. Thanks to its patented "key trapping" system: in the door open position, it holds the key securely so it cannot be removed, and prevents the handle from being moved back into its baseplate.
In order to guarantee optimum security, the key can only be removed once the door is closed and locked. Operation is made easier by spring-mounting the handle, which then releases automatically when unlocked.
The retractable EPR handle is available with 1-point and 3-point locking. The "key trapping" system means you have the assurance that if an electrical cabinet does not have a key inserted, it is definitely closed and locked.
With 1,000 combinations available in a KM profile, the retractable EPR handle is similarly available on combination locks EDF 1610 / 1620 /1630 / 1650 and on the full range of electrical combination locks (405, 455, 421, 2131A, 1242E, EDF900, EDF1300, EDF1400, etc.).
You can request a pass key for all your EPR products, which will come supplied with accessories (fixing screws, washers, rod fastening pins, clips and 3mm stainless steel strike plate).
This product is the ideal solution to guarantee ease of operation and optimum security for your electrical installations in sensitive environments.

BMA discusses Caring, supportive, collaborative project and how it will help doctors
July 3, 2019 News, Policy
The BMA has discussed the details of its latest project and how it aims to improve the lives of doctors through said project
The British Medical Association (BMA) discussed its Caring, supportive, collaborative project at the recent annual representative meeting (ARM) to ensure all members understood its aims and to discuss what the project has achieved so far.
BMA council chair Chaand Nagpaul said at the ARM: "For decades I have passionately felt that the BMA must go on the front foot and coherently articulate and vigorously campaign for solutions and forward-looking changes rather than wait for politicians to come up with their proposals.
"I launched the BMA Caring, supportive, collaborative project as council chair to develop a blueprint for campaigning objectives that will improve the working lives of doctors."
Nagpaul responded to questions about the project, as well as sharing some of the recommendations that it has identified so.
BMA launches investigation into sexism allegations by Kajsa Eklof April 5, 2019 The British Medical Association has stated that it will launch…
How to increase team productivity at work by Kajsa Eklof March 4, 2020 The process of increasing team productivity can be complex, since…
These include making senior non-clinical managers in the NHS regulated and accountable, overhauling the CQC and eliminating its simplistic ratings system, and ensuring nationwide interoperability of IT services in both primary and secondary care.
BMA Scotland council chair Lewis, Morrison, told the conference the health service and medical profession were reaching a crossroads over their future.
As such, he said, it is vital that doctors play an active role in determining what happened next.
"We are potentially at a turning point for many of the healthcare services that we work in where we have an opportunity to actually change the direction of travel.
"The BMA should clearly be the organisation that leads that conversation."
Coping with cancer in the workplace
RCGP supports Labour's vow to help deprived children access fresh fruit and veg


Between the world wars, women gained the right to participate in public office, and the feminist movement continued to critique social norms and celebrate autonomy. Likewise, the broader civil rights movement sought to liberate various marginalized groups from the powerful oppression institutionalized and socially accepted throughout colonial history.
This movement promoted diversity within the nation, a diversity that was not seen as divisive but as a greater celebration of its cultural richness.
Out of this approach emerged the dominant, and sometimes self-congratulatory, contemporary view of Canada as a multicultural nation that intervenes in the colonial patterns of the past in attempts to remodel the nation as diverse and postcolonial.
After the 1967 Immigration Act shifted the criteria for immigration from place of origin to assessments of education and skills, immigration increased from Asia, including refugees from wars in Korea, Vietnam, and Cambodia, and the Cultural Revolution in China. Immigration from the Caribbean, India, and Africa also increased dramatically.
Shortly after the new immigration policy was implemented, and in the wake of recommendations from the Bilingualism and Biculturalism Report (1969), the government decided to create a policy of multiculturalism (1971). This policy was implemented primarily in response to the adamant call for recognition and civil rights by Canadians whose ancestors were neither British nor French.
The policy of multiculturalism opened the door for social, political, and institutional recognition and promotion of the contributions of multiple cultural communities to the development of Canadian society.
Multiculturalism was adopted as official policy in a bilingual framework in 1971, and later in the broader Multiculturalism Act of 1988.
Multiculturalism is a concept many Canadians take pride in, even if it is sometimes less certain how well they practice it.
The Canadian government has recently made a concerted effort to enact the policy of multiculturalism as an affirmation of national, collective responsibility for all citizens. The processes of redress and reconciliation with Aboriginal peoples and Chinese and Japanese Canadians are examples of official acknowledgements of multiculturalism by the federal government.
Herb Wyile has written extensively on recent historical fiction in Speculative Fictions (2002). In this book, he shows how in representing history, such fiction opens up questions about who gets to write or contribute to understandings of the official record of history. Wyile observes that recent historical fiction in Canada shows an inclination toward the telling of untold tales (of indigenous peoples, immigrants, minorities, workers, and women) (137).
Historical fiction, by speculating about alternative understandings of historical moments, figures, and scenes, intervenes in the seemingly homogenous history inherited from racist, powerful institutions. These institutions can include governments, as well as literature and other social structures.
These approaches interject a multicultural polyphony of voices into the seemingly singular (white European male) voice of the nationalist past.
