I wonder what is the purpose of public space? How can I as a citizen best use a public space in order to engage with my community?
I struggle with differing cultural ideas about personal space and acceptable culinary treats. I contemplate whether prejudices about space and food are right or wrong.
Exploring the idea of progress, ecology, and the cultural zoo.


Bio: My background comes from extensive years of studying pilates in depth, gyrotonic , gyrokinesis, Garuda and Booty Barre. I fell in love with the Barre method and trained with Tracy Mallet who is a wonderful inspiration and friend. With a background in literature and journalism together with my scientific approach to body work, I am a health and image consultant and a lifestyle journalist at major arabic publications like "Sayidaty" and a contributing writer for various blogs including Hip and Healthy and Healthy is the New Black. Currently I'm working on my own fitness blog, Body by Lara, and my youtube channel where I'll post fitness videos, nutrition and food tips!
Favourite fitness classes/sports activities: Any form of exercise provided that it's pilates based. I love the combination of pilates and barre. Barre classes have cardio intervals which pushes the body to work harder; Also metabolic training combined with barre moves. Any work that can challenge my body!
Favourite Food: As many greens as possible. I love pomegranates in salads with grains, all fresh, organic and sourced from local farms.
Guilty Pleasure: Coffee! Full bodied, strong and organic.


Cactuse is an inhabited NPC village. It is less than 25k from spawn. The coords are not public, but anyone is welcome to visit if they wish. As of 2018, Cactuse is connected to the nether subway.
There are currently 3 streets in Cactuse. Main street, Rectus road, and Gravel avenue. All houses are numbered and belong to one of the streets.
To organize the mine and help keep it clear, the mine has a very logical division. It is split entirely into sectors, where a sector is named by a series of numbers. The first number is basically random. The abandoned mineshaft at y = 37 is numbered 1, and the mine at y=12 is numbered 2. From then are a series of intersections in each direction. Most notably is that each intersection must be mob-proof (usually using fence-gates.) and contain a sign saying which sector lies behind. Meaning the sign should face back to the exit. If there is more than 1 way to reach somewhere, then the shortest path should be chosen to stay open, and the rest should be blocked off with cobble, to ensure each location keeps a unique number.
The numbers afterwards describe where to go. 1 being left, 2 being straight, and 3 being right. So to get to sector 1-3-2-1, the first number describes the abandoned mineshaft. Then from there, go right at the first intersection, then straight, then left.
There is a cave spider at 1-3-2-1. There is a ravine at 1-3-2-1-3.

This external stone staircase is an example of our very first completed post-tensioning masonry project. This truly original self-supporting piece is the culmination of countless engineering and production hours. It was manufactured in our Origami style and finished with a glass balustrade, supplied by an external partner.

Well it's old news now… but I'm still reeling a bit from our loss last weekend to Portugal. Some good news though – Portugal went out yesterday as well to France, ha (sorry Jes!). In the meantime though, here are some useful things to do with that England flag you bought… [thanks to Metafilter]

4:20 He closed the book, gave it back to the attendant, and sat down. The eyes of all in the synagogue were fastened on him. 4:21 He began to tell them, "Today, this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing."
went his way. 4:51 As he was now going down, his servants met him and reported, saying "Your child lives!" 4:52 So he inquired of them the hour when he began to get better. They said therefore to him, "Yesterday at the seventh hour, the fever left him." 4:53 So the father knew that it was at that hour in which Jesus said to him, "Your son lives." He believed, as did his whole house.
4:54 This is again the second sign that Jesus did, having come out of Judea into Galilee.


The second last week to half term has come to a successful end courtesy of the great team work accompanied by the term value of Cooperation from each and every member of BKIS. As a climax of the week, we had a great opportunity to appreciate and celebrate our teachers as we joined the rest of the world in marking the World's Teacher's Day. Representatives of the students (Vanessa, Aiden, Precious and Karanja) read out inspiring poems to the teachers just to express their appreciation of the work the teachers do.
It was also encouraging to hear from our parents how the teachers played a very important role in their lives during their school days. Thank you Rachael and Chris for inspiring our students during the assembly; which indeed confirmed to them how important it is to appreciate their teachers. The love and strong belief the teachers have in their students always make a huge difference in their lives.
The Chief Guest for the occasion will be the cabinet Secretary Ministry of Information and Technology. On behalf of the BKIS community, we congratulate Dhara for this great achievement even as she plans to travel to Nairobi next week.
BKIS has always had students register for practical ABRSM music exams. This year, we have two students who have extended their learning to take part in the Theory Exams to be done on 10th October in Nairobi. According to ABRSM objective on this, these exams aim to give students a thorough understanding of the building blocks of music, starting with the basics of rhythm and notes, and going on to cover harmony and counterpoint, composition, and a broad knowledge of western music, including composers and their works, structure, style and period. We wish Maaya and Dhara every success in their forth coming Exams.
BSL: Well done to the Braeburn Sports Festival team for excellent participation. Hamraj and Benjamine's team emerged overall winners.
It is the first time to run a chess club in BKIS. Already the club is very popular and full of active participants. Last week Saturday there was a tournament and one of our members (Dhara) participated in the U10 category. Out of four rounds, she won two, drew one and lost one! An impressive result after having played chess for only one month!
The annual BKIS Sports Day is finally here with us! As calendared in our Term Planner, it is happening next week Friday the 12th of October from 9.00 am. This year, we shall hold at the Moi Stadium Kisumu!
The students are excited and looking forward to the great sporty day; it will be a perfect way to end the first half of the term. A lot of exciting activities are being arranged to cater for Students, parents and Teachers. All are welcome. It is important to note that the students are looking forward to compete both their teachers and parents in selected events. A more detailed programme of the day shall be sent out next week.
We say a big welcome to Malachi into the BKIS family. He has joined Year 3 class and is already having fun.
It is always encouraging to see the commitment of students to the activities on offer at school. This week, our scouts showed great improvement in their drills and coordination as they led the whole school to the flag raising ceremony. Through recreation, Scouting achieves its purpose of helping young people develop physically, intellectually, and socially. Scouting is all about building confidence and self-esteem, learning important life skills and leadership skills, team building, outdoor adventures, education, and fun! And that is why at BKIS we consider it an important movement which helps in realising the vision of Braeburn Schools; Confident individuals, Responsible citizens and learners enjoying success.
Going forward, we encourage all the Scouts to always be in their full uniform every Friday even as we realise the annual target of Team Excellence.
Sun hats to protect them for the heat.
The Braeburn Sunhats are available in school at Ksh.600.
When everyone has to be an active member of the team and do what they agree to do.
It is our hope that through these, we shall attain our annual target of Team Excellence.
This week, we officially welcome Abbi (Yr 1) and Resian (Crèche) into the BKIS family.
As part of identification as well as security measure to access any of the Braeburn School's compound, we have provided car stickers to each family. The stickers have unique serial number and for this year they also serve as promotion to celebrate the 40th year of Braeburn School in East Africa.
The Confident Individauls of these sections of the school have started rehearsing for their annual production which will be staged on the 23rd of November 2018. This is a great opportunity to show case the young talents in BKIS. As usual, our team effort will lead to a great show. A letter requesting for costumes will be sent out soon. On behalf of the production team, may I request for support to the young ones as they master their lines and songs.
In our assembly today, we discussed the aspect of Time Management and its application in our daily lives. It was encouraging to learn from the students that it boils down to wise use of time. This led to the practical application in school life and all were in agreement that we have to be punctual to school and lessons every day. As captured in the Parents' Hand Book and Students' Planners, the latest reporting time to school is 7:50am with the exception to EYFS group. It is our appeal that we instil this in our students and help them keep time.
Students were allowed to try out different clubs and change during the first 2 weeks of the term. Starting next week, the choices made will remain and are to run until the end of the term. If you have any questions or concerns about clubs, kindly feel free to speak to our Clubs' Coordinator, Miss Donia.
As had been mentioned earlier, one of our own Dhara Shah represented Kenya in the global round in the U8 category in Japan. It is encouraging and exciting to announce that she won a silver medal! Congratulations Dhara and well done for flying the BKIS flag up high.
The movement is becoming bigger and popular. We appreciate their dedication each and every Friday as they lead the whole school in raising the flag .To make it even better, we are expecting the scouts to remember to be in their full uniform every Friday.
BKIS has not been left behind in marking this important day which is usually celebrated every second Saturday of September. This year's theme is First response to Road Crashes. We had facilitators from Red Cross who took the students and teachers through the practical aspects of CPR.
It is a joy to welcome you back from the long holiday. The reports from the students indicate a well utilized break with great adventures.
Carpeting of both the library and ICT suite.
I can assure you that the students are very pleased to see these little changes every year. We shall continue to improve the general outlook of BKIS.
The dedication and commitment of students led to great results to be proud of. Looking at the individual performance, almost all the students met their targets as far as predicted grades were concerned. BKIS registered a 76% pass of grades A*-C. For this to have been achieved, the great team work involving students, teachers and parents was clearly witnessed throughout the academic year. I must say a big thank you to all the parties for the excellent work. It is also important to mention that all the candidates have already gotten placements into A level schools and we wish them well.
As has been the tradition, every academic year we have a target to guide our general day to day activities. This year the annual target is TEAM EXCELLENCE. Having had a chance to look at the characteristics of great teams, it is now time to experience team excellence.
We wish them well as they Cooperate with their President (Don) and deputy (Vanessa) as they lead the students' body this academic year.
Over the summer break, BKIS was represented by a team of five students at the Global round of the World Scholars Cup that was held in Barcelona. As always, they did their best and the team of Vanessa, Samantha and Cindy has qualified for the Tournament of Champions to be held at the Yale University in USA between 16th and 21st November this year. Congratulations to the team!
Our after school activities will begin next week. Being the first term of the academic year, the sports on offer are Cricket, Rounders and Athletics. Our after school activities for the sports days will rotate around the mentioned sports and a schedule will be out on the notice board.
Thank you for prompt response on clubs options. Ms. Donia is working on the clubs' lists which should be ready by Monday. Please note that as from Monday school will be ending at 4.10pm.
EYFS Parents' Meeting is on Saturday 8th September from 9 am.
Braeburn Kisumu International School is a member of the Braeburn Group of International Schools.

Dallas, March 2, 2012 – Mary Kay is clearly hitting the mark with consumers as it was once again recognized by Brand Keys as a 'brand that delights' because of the company's high level of customer engagement and satisfaction.
Brand Keys, an independent research firm, has studied consumer behavior for the past 16 years and just released its annual Customer Loyalty Index Survey. The 2012 Customer Loyalty Index Survey examined customers' relationships with 598 brands across 83 categories. Mary Kay tied for first as the top brand in the cosmetics category and was listed as one of the top 20 brands overall in the "Brands That Delight" category.
This is the second year that Mary Kay was included on the "Brands That Delight" list. Brand Keys describes a delighting brand as one that excels at offering meaningful experiences with products and services at a higher level than its competitors. According to Brand Keys, consumers demand more from a brand than mere satisfaction with a product's performance. Consumers are also demanding quality experiences and authentic brand values. Satisfaction is now the cost of entry while delight is the new differentiator amongst the sea of competitors.
The overwhelming majority of brands that were included in the "Brands That Delight" list are relatively newer brands that are technology based like Apple, Amazon, Google, Samsung and Facebook. Mary Kay, which will celebrate its 50th anniversary next year, is not only the brand with the most longevity, but also is the only cosmetics brand listed amongst the top 20.
Mary Kay credits Mary Kay Independent Beauty Consultants and its product collection as the two primary reasons it received this honor.

Hello to everyone and Happy New Year. I hope it was a good Christmas for all our residents.
I took a holiday over the festive break, but kept up to date with emails and messages.
I would like to thank Councillor Amrit Mann for holding the fort and to all those staff, residents and emergency services who worked throughout the Christmas and New Year to provide all the services that were needed.
At the weekend, Hounslow Police, together with the Council's noise pollution team, shut down an illegal rave that was taking place at the former Morrisons site in Hounslow. I would like to thank our team and the Hounslow MPS for their swift action.
It was a case of straight back in at the sharp end and back in the office today, with a full schedule of meetings.
One to mention was the Dukes Meadows Programme Board meeting. One of the highlights was discussing initial feedback we've received following the consultation and survey.
We are delighted with the response - it's highly positive and we will be updating on this very soon.
The last meeting of the day for me was the Health and Wellbeing Board meeting, which I chair, and this finished around 9pm.
We discussed the strategies that are in place for the health and social care we provide to residents in our borough. We work closely with the CCG [Clinical Commissioning Group], the West Middlesex University Hospital and other health partners.
This morning I attended the South East Aviation roundtable meeting with fellow London borough leaders.
We were there to talk about the forthcoming consultation by central government on the proposed new runway at Heathrow Airport, which is due to start shortly.
I was back at the Civic Centre at lunchtime for the monthly meet with Councillor Bob Whatley, chair of the planning committee, to discuss up and coming planning applications.
In the evening, I attended a Labour Group branch meeting.
Today I met with Councillor John Chatt, who is chair of the overall and scrutiny committee, to discuss the various work programme we have for the forthcoming year.
This was followed by a meeting with Councillor Surinder Purewal, chair of the audit committee, to also look at business for the year ahead.
In the afternoon, I attended the Housing Zone Advisory Board, where discussions included the money that is being spent on two zones in our borough, Feltham and Hounslow town centre, with funding from the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan's office.
This evening I attended a black tie event, the London Government Dinner at Mansion House. I say it was black tie, but my bow tie was red!
It was a very grand affair, where speeches were made by the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, the Lord Mayor of London, Dr Andrew Parmley and Councillor Claire Kober, Chair of London Councils.
The speech by Dr Parmley included talking about education for young people and apprenticeships, which is in line with what we are committed to in this borough, bringing about opportunities in these areas.
Along with several other people, I then battled through the cold and sleet on the tube and bus back home.
This evening our planning committee considered the application for the "Chiswick Curve" which was recommended for refusal by planning officers.
After careful consideration, the committee approved the recommendation for refusal.
Today I had meetings with constituents, including a call with a resident who is concerned about neighbours dumping rubbish.
We will be meeting with the resident and others to see how we can resolve the problem and again, enforcing our zero-tolerance stance on anyone who is fly tipping or littering in our borough.
We will take the strongest action and an example of this is the eight litter louts who thought they could get away with ignoring their littering fine. The amount they must pay increased by almost 80 per cent, after the Council took them to court.
It is anti-social behaviour and something we are committed to stamping out. We urge residents to report fly tipping and litter dropping, so we can look to catch those guilty of this and progress on our target of having a cleaner, greener borough.
It has been a cold week – winter has certainly arrived early into the New Year.
Please do look at the regular forecasts and check on elderly relatives, neighbours and friends.
Finally, good luck to Brentford FC who host Newcastle United on Saturday. The Bees booked their place in the fourth round of the FA Cup last weekend with a great 5-1 win over Eastleigh. The reward is a clash with current Premier League leaders Chelsea later this month.

The timing of learning and sleep has an impact on how well young adults retain new skills, a new study suggests.
A recent article on the British Psychological Society's news website, BPS Digest, led me to an interesting study published earlier this year on sleep and learning.
The study, which involved adolescents, has particular relevance, I believe, during this back-to-school week.
First, a bit of background: Until relatively recently, most scientists believed the sole function of sleep was to give our minds and our bodies a restorative rest. During the past two decades or so, however, research has revealed another critical reason for our nightly slumber: It appears to help our brains consolidate memories and, thus, acquire new information and skills.
Scientists have also made the fascinating finding that the timing of our sleep affects our learning. There seems to be a short period — just a few hours — in which the memory traces of newly learned information can be easily disrupted. Research also suggests, however, that if we fall asleep during that period, those fragile traces organize themselves in ways that strengthen the memories — and we are more likely to recall what we've learned at a later date.
In other words, the old advice to "sleep on it" seems to hold true when it comes to learning.
But how much time should we leave between learning a particular type of information or skill and sleeping?
That brings us to the recent study. A team of German researchers recruited 50 teenage girls (aged 16 and 17). They brought them into a lab and trained them to learn a finger-tapping task and a series of word pairs, two tests commonly used in studies involving memory and learning. The finger-tapping task involves procedural ("knowing how") memory — the kind that's needed to learn such skills as playing a sport or a musical instrument. The word-pair task involves declarative ("knowing what") memory — the kind that's needed to learn factual information. These two memory systems use different parts of the brain.
The teenagers who underwent the finger-tapping training in the evening session showed the greatest improvement in those skills when re-tested after 24 hours and again after seven days. For the word-pair test, the results were reversed: The girls trained in the afternoon did the best when re-tested 24 hours later, although this evidence was "less robust," according to the study's authors, and thus should be treated with some caution.
No difference was found between the afternoon and the evening learners when their newly acquired word-pair skills were tested seven days later.
Obviously, the study had several important limitations. It involved a small number of participants, for example, and all of them were girls. The findings may not hold in a larger and more diverse population. Still, the study's results are provocative and may have some practical implications.
The study was published online July 12 in the open-access journal PLoS One.

Between 2006 and 2017, growth in spending per enrollee in Medicare and Medicaid was much slower than in private insurance according to a new analysis by John Holahan and Stacey McMorrow of the Urban Institute, with funding from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. Medicare and Medicaid spending per enrollee grew 2.4 percent per year and 1.6 percent per year, respectively, compared to 4.4 percent per year for private insurance.
While overall spending growth for Medicare (5.2% per year) and Medicaid (6.0% per year) exceeded growth in private spending (4.4% per year), the authors attribute this to much faster enrollment growth in public programs compared to private coverage. Average annual enrollment increased 2.8 percent for Medicare and 4.3 percent for Medicaid while private coverage enrollment stayed relatively flat.
The authors found that changes in specific types of health care spending affected Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurers differently, especially for prescription drugs, administrative costs, and hospital services.


Negotiating your best bottom line!
As you prepare to sell your Fairbanks or North Pole Alaska home one thing is probably on your mind more than any other: what is my house worth? Too much focus on the price can mask the real outcome of a sale where dollars and cents concerned: the bottom line! Just because one Realtor tells you they can get you a higher sales price than another Realtor doesn't mean they will ultimately put the most money in your pocket. Insist on a clear cost estimate upfront.
I can't tell you how many people I've met with over the years that have either spoken with or have been listed with another sales office and immediately tell me what the other office said they were going to do for them when I begin a market analysis in terms of some inflated sales price. No problem, I say, what will be left over if you hire those folks? I am usually met with a blank stare. If you want to do a true comparison from one office to another then a thorough cost estimate is the only way to do it. You must get one from each office and then you will have an apples to apples comparison of costs and your potential bottom line. Different offices have different commission structures that can significantly impact costs.
I always do a cost estimate for my home sellers even if they are committed to me right off the bat, which they often are, and it is not because of the perceived competition from another sales person. It is because that initial estimate becomes our guide when we get an offer and are looking at a real sale! How on earth can you possibly tell if an offer is getting you what you want in your pocket if you haven't set that expectation upfront? I'll tell you that digesting an offer and the true costs, especially if a buyer is negotiating hard for you to pay a lot of closing costs, can be really difficult if you are running the numbers for the first time after the offer rolls in. Emotions are high and approaching the situation rationally is a real challenge.
I'm proud of the good work we do at Empire Realty with regard to setting realistic and honest expectations upfront and then negotiating from a position of authority when an offer rolls in because we have done our homework and know the numbers. I've found that time and time again the best negotiating position is to know their number and know your numbers.

Liverpool's newest bar, Liberte, is set to open a Pan Asian restaurant.
The restaurant will be based inside Liberte itself which is already proving to be one of the most popular nightlife venues in the city.
Thanks to its quirky interior which includes bright colours, graffiti style art, neon lighting, flower walls and giant cocktails, the bar has become somewhat of an Instagram sensation.
Even celebrities have even chosen to spend the night in Liberte as Swedish Pop Star Zara Larsson partied there after performing at Fusion Festival.
Speaking about the future of the venue, owner and local DJ, Liam Hincks, said: "With an extensive list of cocktails and an exciting food concept to be announced we will be the crown and the jewel will be the city's largest flat level roof terrace.
"I have been in ongoing talks with some fantastic summer events booked in with concepts taken from cities such as Dubai and London."
He added: "We wanted to create a space that really comes into its own and provides truly unique surroundings for those looking for something a bit different from a day or night out."
Take a look inside Liberte restaurant and nightclub
Covering 2,000 sq ft on the third floor of the Bentley building and facing the waterfront, the cocktail bar and restaurant boasts panoramic views of the city's famous World Heritage site.
There are also has plans to extend the venue out onto roof, as Liberte is due to open one of the largest flat top roof terraces in the city.
How to make Liberte's delicious looking Clockwork Orange cocktail:
Jonathan Ryder, of the Liberte team said: "The list is composed of innovative and quality cocktails to emulate the interior design and concept.
"Our bartenders will undergo a stringent training programme in order to deliver the drinks to the standard our customers will come to expect.
"The bar itself has been designed ergonomically with the highest specification equipment for speed of service and a to deliver entertaining and delicious drinks."

Socialism in One Country
With their victory over the White Russians in 1920, Soviet leaders now could turn for the first time to the challenging task of building the first socialist society in a world dominated by their capitalist enemies. In his writings, Karl Marx had said little about the nature of the final communist utopia or how to get there. He had spoken briefly of a transitional phase, variously known as "raw communism" or "socialism," that would precede the final stage of communism. During this phase, the Communist Party would establish a "dictatorship of the proletariat" to rid society of the capitalist oppressors, set up the institutions of the new order, and indoctrinate the population in the communist ethic. In recognition of the fact that traces of "bourgeois thinking" would remain among the population, profit incentives would be used to encourage productivity (in the slogan of Marxism, payment would be on the basis of "work" rather than solely on "need"), but major industries would be nationalized and private landholdings eliminated. After seizing power, however, the Bolsheviks were too preoccupied with survival to give much attention to the future nature of Soviet society. "War communism"—involving the government seizure of major industries, utilities, and sources of raw materials and the requisition of grain from private farmers—was, by Lenin's own admission, just a makeshift policy to permit the regime to mobilize resources for the civil war. In 1920, it was time to adopt a more coherent approach. The realities were sobering. Soviet Russia was not an advanced capitalist society in the Marxist image, blessed with modern technology and an impoverished and politically aware underclass imbued with the desire to advance to socialism. It was poor and primarily agrarian, and its small but growing industrial sector had been ravaged by years of war. Under the circumstances, Lenin called for caution. He won his party's approval for a moderate program of social and economic development known as theNew Economic Policy, or NEP. The program was based on a combination of capitalist and socialist techniques designed to increase production through the use of profit incentives while at the same time promoting the concept of socialist ownership and maintaining firm party control over the political system and the overall direction of the economy. The "commanding heights" of the Soviet economy (heavy industry, banking, utilities, and foreign trade) remained in the hands of the state, while private industry and commerce were allowed to operate at the lower levels. The forced requisition of grain, which had caused serious unrest among the peasantry, was replaced by a tax, and land remained firmly in private hands. The theoretical justification for the program was that Soviet Russia now needed to go through its own "capitalist stage" (albeit under the control of the party) before beginning the difficult transition to socialism. As an economic strategy, the NEP succeeded brilliantly. During the early and mid-1920s, the Soviet economy recovered rapidly from the doldrums of war and civil war. A more lax hand over the affairs of state allowed a modest degree of free expression of opinion within the ranks of the party and in Soviet society at large. Under the surface, however, trouble loomed. Lenin had been increasingly disabled by a bullet lodged in his neck from an attempted assassination, and he began to lose his grip over a fractious party. Even before his death in 1924, potential successors had begun to scuffle for precedence in the struggle to assume his position as party leader, the most influential position in the state. The main candidates were Leon Trotsky and a rising young figure from the state of Georgia, Joseph Djugashvili, better known by his revolutionary name, Stalin. Lenin had misgivings about all the candidates hoping to succeed him and suggested that a collective leadership best represented the interests of the party and the revolution. After his death in 1924, factional struggle among the leading figures in the party intensified. Although in some respects it was a pure power struggle, it did have policy ramifications as party factions debated about the NEP and its impact on the future of the Russian Revolution. At first, the various factions were relatively evenly balanced, but Stalin proved adept at using his position as general secretary of the party to outmaneuver his rivals. By portraying himself as a centrist opposed to the extreme positions of his "leftist" (too radical in pursuit of revolutionary goals) or "rightist" (too prone to adopt moderate positions contrary to Marxist principles) rivals, he gradually concentrated power in his own hands. In the meantime, the relatively moderate policies of the NEP continued to operate as the party and the state vocally encouraged the Soviet people, in a very un- Marxist manner, to enrich themselves. Capital investment and technological assistance from Western capitalist countries were actively welcomed. An observer at the time might reasonably have concluded that the Marxist vision of a world characterized by class struggle had become a dead letter.

Q: How to properly perform state update on a large matrix? I've been stuck on this problem for several days, which is why I come here for help.
I'm trying to build a maze generator, where the user can interact with a grid to set some square as walls, traps, etc...
Approach that seemed like it should work but failed :
All the logic is handled by a parent component, which passes down a state matrix to a grid render component. I like this approach because the UI doesn't handle the logic, but it gets extremely laggy when the grid gets big.
Logical component :
    export default function MazeMaker({
        stateToColorInterpreter,
        getGenerationResult,
        squareSize,
        initialValues
    }: MazeMakerProps){

        // Creating the initial state

        const initialStart = initialValues?.start ?? {row: 4, col: 8};
        const initialTarget = initialValues?.target?? {row: 3, col: 2};
        const initialGrid = initialValues?.grid ?? generateMatrix<MazeNodeState>(MazeNodeState.EMPTY, 20, 40);
        initialGrid[initialStart.row][initialStart.col] = MazeNodeState.START;
        initialGrid[initialTarget.row][initialTarget.col] = MazeNodeState.TARGET;

        const [stateMatrix, setStateMatrix] = useState<MazeNodeState[][]>(initialGrid.map(row => row.map(state => state)));
        const [start, setStart] = useState<Coordinate>(initialStart);
        const [target, setTarget] = useState<Coordinate>(initialTarget);
        const [placingType, setPlacingType] = useState<MazeNodeState>(MazeNodeState.BLOCKED);
        const [isMouseDown, setIsMouseDown] = useState<boolean>(false);

        // Updates a square state in the generated grid based on passed coords and state.
        const setSquareState = (coord: Coordinate, state: MazeNodeState) => {

            // Execute some logic and update the state matrix, then update the state with shallow-copy
            stateMatrix[coord.row][coord.col] = state;
            setStateMatrix([...stateMatrix])
        }

        return(

 setIsMouseDown(true)}
             onMouseLeave={() => setIsMouseDown(false)}
             onMouseUp={() => setIsMouseDown(false)}
        >
            <Grid
                stateMatrix={stateMatrix}
                stateToColor={stateToColorInterpreter}
                onSquareMouseDown = {(x: number, y: number) => {setSquareState({row: x, col: y}, placingType)}}
                onSquareClick = {(x: number, y: number) => {setSquareState({row: x, col: y}, placingType)}}
                onSquareMouseEnter = {(x: number, y: number) => {if(isMouseDown) setSquareState({row: x, col: y}, placingType)}}
            />

                // State picker so that the user can what kind of block they want to place, updates the placingType state

        )
    }

Grid component :
        export default function Grid({
        stateMatrix,
        stateToColor,
        onSquareClick,
        onSquareMouseEnter,
        onSquareMouseDown,
    }: GridProps){
        const rows = stateMatrix.length;
        const cols = stateMatrix[0].length;

        return(
                <GridDiv // Styled component
                    rows = {rows}
                    cols = {cols}
                >
                    {
                        Array.from({length: rows}).map((_, rowIndex) => <Row key={rowIndex}>
                            {Array.from({length: cols}).map((_, colIndex) =>
                                <Square
                                key={rowIndex * rows + colIndex}
                                state={stateMatrix[rowIndex][colIndex]}
                                stateToColor={stateToColor}
                                onClick={() => {if(onSquareClick) onSquareClick(rowIndex, colIndex)}}
                                onMouseEnter={() => {if(onSquareMouseEnter) onSquareMouseEnter(rowIndex, colIndex)}}
                                onMouseDown={() => {if(onSquareMouseDown) onSquareMouseDown(rowIndex, colIndex)}}
                                />)}
                        </Row>)
                    }
                </GridDiv>
        )
    }

Square component :
    export default function Square({
        state,
        stateToColor,
        onClick,
        onMouseDown,
        onMouseEnter,
    }: SquareProps){
        const [backgroundColor, setBackgroundColor] = useState<string>(stateToColor(state));
        const [nextColor, setNextColor] = useState<string | undefined>(undefined);
        const [currentState, setCurrentState] = useState<number>(state);

        useEffect(() => {
            if(state !== currentState){
                if(nextColor) setBackgroundColor(nextColor);
                setNextColor(stateToColor(state))
            }
            setCurrentState(state);
        }, [state]);

        return(
            <SquareDiv // Styled component
                color = {backgroundColor}
                nextColor = {nextColor}
                animationDurationMs={300}
                onMouseDown = {() => {if(onMouseDown){onMouseDown();}}}
                onMouseEnter = {() => {if(onMouseEnter) {onMouseEnter(); }}}
                onClick = {onClick}
            />
        )
    }

Approach that worked but that I do not like
What worked was to make each square aware of the state it should switch to upon being clicked upon.
I strongly dislike this approach because the UI component has to do some logic, so it doesn't seem flexible or reusable. The grid and logic component are the same expect they pass down the "newStateType" and "shouldUpdate", and the square updates itself when the mouse is dragged over based on these.
export default function Square({
    stateRef,
    stateToColor,
    onClick,
    onMouseDown,
    onMouseEnter,
    newStateType,
    shouldUpdate,
}: SquareProps){
    const [backgroundColor, setBackgroundColor] = useState<string>(stateToColor(stateRef.current));
    const [nextColor, setNextColor] = useState<string | undefined>(undefined);
    const [state, setState] = useState<number>(stateRef.current);
    const [currentState, setCurrentState] = useState<number>(stateRef.current);

    useEffect(() => {
        setState(stateRef.current);
    }, [stateRef.current]);

    useEffect(() => {
        if(state !== currentState){
            if(nextColor) setBackgroundColor(nextColor);
            setNextColor(stateToColor(state))
        }
        setCurrentState(state);
    }, [state]);

    return(
        <SquareDiv
            color = {backgroundColor}
            nextColor = {nextColor}
            animationDurationMs={300}
            onMouseDown = {() => {if(onMouseDown){onMouseDown();
                if(newStateType) setState(newStateType)}}}
            onMouseEnter = {() => {
            if(onMouseEnter) {
                onMouseEnter();
                if(shouldUpdate) setState(newStateType ?? 0)}}}
            onClick = {onClick}
        />
    )
}

I'm lost as to why the performance is so drastically better when the square changes itself rather than the logic being handled by a parent component, and I have no idea how to create an approach that would get the best of both worlds.

A: Alright, I'm posting my answer for anyone finding themselves in the same situation later down the road.
The reason why the grid is so laggy when using the "classic" approach, is that in order to perform a re-render, what React does is comparing the previous state to the current state, and re-rendering whatever needs to be re-rendered.
In the case of a 50x50 grid, with 2500 nodes, this comparison is somewhat expensive, and makes everything laggy when it needs to be performed a lot.
The alternative, in our case, because we know exactly which node we need to update, is to do that modification imperatively rather than declaratively as we normally do with react. In order to do that, we can make use of ForwardRefs and useImperativeHandle. For more information about these, check the official documentation, or these handy tutorials : https://codezup.com/forwardref-in-functional-components-react-hooks/ , https://codezup.com/how-to-use-useimperativehandle-react-hook-example/

Vance "washed" Vaughn's hair with spit today.
I walked past her and noticed her hair was wet in places and sticking straight up in front. I knelt down for a closer look, thinking she had slobbered on her hands then rubbed them in her hair, but no. Vance proudly took credit for washing her hair. I asked him what he used, thinking that he had gotten into the diaper wipes, but no. "With my spit!" We haven't had spitting issues with him, I'm still totally confused about it. He earned himself a time-out for that one.
The soup was good. Next time I'll use egg noodles instead of rice. Vance and I made a dessert that was in a family-type magazine. It was bad. He wouldn't even eat it. (Roll out pie dough, cut pairs with cookie cutters, put chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, etc. in the middle, seal the top with an egg wash, cover with egg wash and sugar, bake.) Sounded good, but the pie dough was, well, pie dough and the stuff in the middle didn't melt while baking. Threw them out.
sorry to hear about the dessert debacle.
You are right, that dessert sounds really good, too bad it didn't work out.

Back in May of this year, Wendy's reported "fewer than 300" locations had been hacked by malicious malware that targeted customer credit card information. Last week, Wendy's released a list of 1,025 restaurant locations that were impacted by the data breach.
The breach originated from a compromised unnamed third-party "service provider." The attackers were able to use the service provider's credentials to access and install malware into the credit card systems of the restaurant, also known as the point-of-sale systems. As a result, the attackers had access to customer credit card information including, names, credit card numbers, expiration dates, and security codes.
The investigation is still ongoing and it is possible other restaurant locations may have been hacked. The "service provider" is still unnamed and it is unclear if other businesses are at risk.
Wendy's is offering fraud counseling and identity restoration services for customers who used a credit card during the impacted time at one of the listed restaurant locations. The full list of restaurant locations affected by this breach can be accessed here.

Btw, I would like the Moderators to change the title of this thread. The Liberals are not supporting Harper's Iraq mission.
The thread was opened on September 5, 2014. The Liberals were certainly - shamelessly - agreeing with Harper's intent to send "military advisors" for 30 days, or whatever the blatant lie was at the time. You can try to change history all you like, but it has a way of asserting itself.

What's also a fact is that this was also equally true before the last election, until it wasn't anymore and it was the Liberals who ended up in third place. Your contention that this time that can't happen, however, is pure opinion, and more than that, opinion backed up by nothing at all. It's more accurate to say that you hope that won't happen this time, but hopes don't make arguments.
He is saying the opposite. He is saying the Conservatives could win again. The NDP can't win because if there were a chance they could the blue Liberals would go Conservative again just like they did in 2011.

Personally, I do not find it helpful to attribute motivations to others just because their analysis and conclusions differs from yours. Maybe their calculations are just a little different.
I observe that there are posters who adopt and rationalize whatever position their party's Leader happens to espouse at the moment - and modify accordingly. I have no clue nor care what their "motivations" are. It's an empirical observation. Either tell me I'm mistaken in my observation (which will be a tough challenge on the evidence), or perhaps comment on the rest of my post, which is designed to illustrate in capsule form how consent for war and aggression get manufactured in our society.
Not very original on my part - but we need historical memory here. We need to be reminded about all the egregious lies and distortions that imperialists have used in the past to get people pumped up to commit aggression, war, even genocide. Otherwise, enlighten me as to how we will avoid following those paths blindly in the future?

As a Liberal, I am ashamed we are flip-flopping on ISL mission. With Kobani about to fall, we need to honour Article 5 in r Nato agreement.
People have been saying that Harper is going to try and use IS as his election issue, hoping it will be the one keeps the Prime Ministers office in his hands, and perhaps there are hints he's right in the sense that its put the Liberals in a bad akward spot. They supported the mission at first and then flip flopped to opposing it and honestly have not really been a defining position in this debate, whereas Harper and Mulcair have staked out thier position right away, Mulcair has been brilliant in his criticism of going to war in Iraq, whereas this whole thing plays to Justin'z weaknesses on Policy, Debate, Parliamentary Work, and he mishandled if earily on allow the NDP to not only criticize the Tories, but the Liberals as well. So Justin is being caught in an Arena he is not skilled in caught in a left right pinser and having already made major mistakes. And war ia the sort of issue that creates polarization within the public, there is no moderate position, and guess what both poles are taken with Justin bouncing between them.
Don't get me wrong, I bounced myself briefly, but I don't lead a national party and my bouncing lasted 1 day. I'm am firmly in the no camp.
http://m.hilltimes.com/news/politics/2014/10/07/liberals-to-support-iraq...
I stand corrected, the Liberals haven't simply flip flopped from supporting the war to opposing it, they're now trying to do both at the same time.
Stupidity like this is what happens when you try and use opinion polls as your platform. The Libs see that Canadian don't want Troops on the ground, but thdy want IS beaten, so they come up with this idea of having thier cake and eating it too. It will not work and it will backfire on multipld fronts.
They are not getting hurt on this one. Their initial support for the mission will be forgotten as inconsequential. The current position to vote aginast the mission but respect the result and support the troops in the field will not be unpopular.
Article 5 reads (emphasis added): "The Parties agree that an armed attack against one or more of them in Europe or North America shall be considered an attack against them all and consequently they agree that, if such an armed attack occurs, each of them, in exercise of the right of individual or collective self-defence recognised by Article 51 of the Charter of the United Nations, will assist the Party or Parties so attacked by taking forthwith, individually and in concert with the other Parties, such action as it deems necessary, including the use of armed force, to restore and maintain the security of the North Atlantic area."

A Longtime New Democrat on ISIL Combat Vote: Gary Doer Proud of PM
http://www.nationalnewswatch.com/2014/10/07//a-longtime-new-democrat-on-...
"...For all the well documented irritants in the Canada-US relationship, most famously on the Keystone XL pipeline file, administration officials in Washington say Canada's staunch support of the ISIL mission has been noticed and appreciated.
Doer said he's been hearing those positive messages in his interactions with the administration. 'The administration is very pleased with the recommendation by the prime minister,' Doer said."
Following up on the Article 5 issue - there was another shining moment for Justin today:
Interviewer: What if Turkey invokes Article 5 following an ISIL attack in Turkey?
Justin: What is Article 5?
OMG. I think its time to send in the clowns....
Don't you love farce? My fault, I fear.
I thought that you'd want what I want...
Sorry, my dear!
But where are the clowns?
Quick - Send in the clowns
Don't bother, they're here.

I imagine a majority of long time New Democrats are not proud of Gary Doer.
I am not surprised to see that there could be a connection in how close Canada supports the US desires in Iraq and the negotiations over pipelines.
Doer won't be the only one that will be accused of having been bought.

Article 5 only applies to Nation States. ISIS isn't a nation thus Article 5 does not apply to them.
I would like to see politicians read the full policy and treaties instead of the Cole's Notes Edition before making silly statements in front of the county.
Did anyone see the NDP's statement on Canada arming military groups in Iraq and Syria that are currently fighting ISIS? That is an unbelievable and unintelligent position to take.
This was reported on CBC earlier tonight.

Ever wonder why Gary Doer was so popular in MB? Because he was in tune with the electorate. And social democrat parties in Europe and Australia are also taking the same position as the Cons.
Will say this now right off the bat... The fed Cons have their wedge issue which will see many red tory types (who have been parking their votes with the Libs and NDP) moving over to the Con column over the next few months. Just watch polling trends over the next few months for confirmation.
Harper just got handed some political red meat by both the NDP and Libs and he will be reaping the political fruits of same. Unfortunate. But it is what it is.
I don't see the next federal election being decided on this.
Also I think the more NATO types interfere in the Middle East the more ISIS types we will get...
We just can't go over there and bomb them reasonable.
At elast we will know what is shooting at us -- those will be the supplies NATO gave the anti Syria forces last year.
Again. Sorry. My mind is made up on ISIS and so is everyone else I run into. Not gonna prevent me from supporting Tom (which I did at leadership). But a HUGE political problem. Don't take my word for it.
Just watch polling trends over the next few months. Cons will be major beneficiary. Seen this movie play out toooo many times before on an emotional issue such as this.
PS. Next election won't be decided upon this... but this issue just gave the Cons a political springboard.

I have seen enough of ISIS via media, Twitter, etc. to come to the conclusion that they are a nasty bunch that needs to be terminated.
And the media always paints an accurate picture of what is going on?
Besides, the idea that such-and-such a group is a nasty bunch is one that is used to justify invading other countries. Witness the US invasion of Iraq. There's also the problem that no matter how noble the intention behind the combat mission, any weapons used by our side will inevitably find themselves in the hands of terrorists anyways. If we want to stop the killing, flooding the area with more weapons is certainly not going to help.
Reminds me of the SS marching thru Europe back in the day.
That's a very simplistic analysis neglecting any differences between the SS and IS, the fact that it was the war reparations imposed on Germany that gave rise to the Nazis in the first place, and that before and during WWII the business elite in the US was quite happy with the Nazis and lamenting that the US wasn't more like Germany. It wasn't until Germany was utterly defeated that they were cast as the horrible evil villans in WWII.
Ever wonder why Gary Doer was so popular in MB? Because he was in tune with the electorate.
Actually, he was a slick snake-oil salesman who got by on his personal charm.
And social democrat parties in Europe and Australia are also taking the same position as the Cons.
To use an argument that I would hear as a child, if everyone else was robbing banks, does that mean you'd join in?
Besides, with defeats in Spain, Italy, Germany and Australia, the collapse of the popularity of both PASOK in Greece and Hollande in France, and the steady erosion in popular support for Labour in the UK, social democracy is generally a spent force in that part of the world anyways.
I support the combat mission as well. And so does everyone else I run into contact to. And also see many BC NDPers on Twitter dissappointed about the fed party position.
Sometimes popular sentiment is not always in tune with the facts of what is going on, and it's important to take a stand on principle. And popular opinion shifts. Remember how much support for invading Iraq the US government had among the American population at the time? Well, once people saw what was going on, they changed their minds. And now is not the time for Mulcair to back down on his position by any means. Even if people don't agree with him, if they see him defending and articulating his principles on the matter, they will respect him, because doing the principled thing even when people disagree is a positive leadership quality.

ISIS? Public has already made their mind up. End of story.
So public opinion, whether manipulated or not, and the political ramifications, are the only important considerations? Is there any room in this situation for such pesky things as verifiable facts?
That's exactly what the anti-Iraq war crowd in the US was told at the time of the 2003 invasion. Public opinion can and often does change with changing curcumstances. If it's a long, drawn-out war, or the countries involved start taking heavy casualties, or word gets out that the military campaigns are costing civilian lives in the conflict zone, public opinion might yet again change.
One last point. Only poll, that I have seen on this issue, so far, is from Ipsos last Friday. Again, with all polls, I always state that actual numbers are junk. That said, don't know if same has been posted in this thread yet... and don't entirely dismiss same:
Two Thirds (64%) Support Use of Canadian Forces Fighter Jets in Airstrikes against ISIL Targets in Iraq

PS. Don't know about the news coverage in MB, but the nightly TV news coverage here in BC shows atrocities against civilians, women, children, entire town populations, and regular beheadings of innocents inclusive of many outside humanitarians.

Don't know about the news coverage in MB, but the nightly TV news coverage here in BC shows atrocities against civilians, women, children, entire town populations, and regular beheadings of innocents inclusive of many outside humanitarians.
From what I've seen, it's pretty much the same here, but I don't take seriously what I see in the news because the news is so slanted, biased, incomprehensive, deceptive, sensationalized, and often just plain wrong (witness how the news failed to see the economic crash of 2008 coming, how it still obscures the economic reality many people face, or how it dropped the ball on the problem of climate change for a few examples) that I just don't have any confidence in these entities.
Yes, I get that being bombarded with these images will sway public opinion against ISIS (at least that segment of the public that still pays attention to the news, there are many who don't bother because it's so blatantly distorted) but if you think for one minute that the media outlets are giving an accurate picture of what's happening with ISIS, I have some ocean front property in Saskatchewan to sell you.
At this point the NDP has nothing to lose, its the Libs who will be on the losing end of this. Support for the war is not universal, and while opposition is not the majoriry, yet, its still a sizable minority. The NDP takes those and the Tories take supporters of the war there isn't much room for the Liberals.
"NDP Leader Tom Mulcair (Outremont, Que.) accused the Liberals of changing their position, and said it is the fifth change in the Liberal position on the Iraq mission since it was first proposed.
"This is the fifth consecutive version that the Liberals have come out with on the war in Iraq. It's not a flip flop, it's a fifth flop. Mr. Harper has not changed his mind, he's continuing despite the fact, we're being told on the ground, that there's no way to believe simple air strikes like this are going to be a solution," Mr. Mulcair said.
"It is one thing to say that everyone who is in the service of the country merits our respect, but it is the government's work to determine the mission, and the NDP opposes the mission Mr. Harper [is proposing]," he said."
Flip Flopping this much on an issue is a debacle for Justin that should not be under estimated. Both Harper and Mulcair have something to gain in this fight Trudeau has everything to lose.
Note: I've added the emphasis in what follows:
Sorry. But I have seen enough of ISIS via media, Twitter, etc. to come to the conclusion that they are a nasty bunch that needs to be terminated.
I support the combat mission as well.
Again. Sorry. My mind is made up on ISIS...
Ok, gotcha. Seems very clear.
But then this:
Hmmm. Ok.
Recalculating...
I think we will be facing a shitstorm of debate on domestic and economic issues in the next election and the flipflops of Trudeau from prior to the vote on Iraq will not even be remembered by the election -- as interesting as they may be at the moment.
The Iraq debate will be a predictable should we stay or go and the positions of that time will be the focus of the debate not a sideshow of historical statements from prior to a vote.
If there is another flip flop then it would be news. People don't look back in history and remark much on evolving opinions of leaders but they will consider contradictions in actions -- so a contradiction in votes in the House would be interesting (although if the final position is popular not an election changer). But without that this won't be rememberd by more than a couple percent of the population a week from now never mind a year from now. If the NDP waste time trying to remind people of this they will lose the election as there are more important contradictions in Liberal positions to examine and time spent on this is time not spent on a better more currently relevant example.

What flip flop? Trudeau supported sending advisors but is currently against participating in combat. Even if he had changed his opinion I would admire it as a sign of good character.

Listening to Mulcair on As it Happens last night, it seemed that the sticking point for the NDP is simply that this campaign is not being carried out under the auspices of NATO or the UN.

I'm glad that Trudeau isn't an authoritarian type leader that demands agreement on all issues. I'm sure you will be shocked to know that Trudeau even allowed Cotler to make a statement on his position on the Liberal website.
http://irwincotler.liberal.ca/blog/principled-abstention-isil-vote/
Supporting someone doesn't mean you have to agree with every position they take on every issue. People can disagree with respect.
It's refreshing to see and increases my support for Trudeau just like when he "flip-flopped" on marijuana and announced his support for legalization. Mulcair and the NDP executive won't flip-flop on it because they would see it as a sign of weakness rather than one of evolution, a source of shame, not pride.
Trudeau's respect for and support of Irwin Cotler is admirable not shameful. Authoritarianism is anachronistic.
It is through these acts that leaders reveal their character and values.
Pondering -- you have more serious critics of Trudeau's precious perfect positions in this thread so why don't you address them?
Flip flops are not about what they are "currently" (the word you emphasized) they are about consistency over time.
Of course you have already straddled the argument by the alternatives as follows:
1) Trudeau did not Flip Flop (he did )
2) If he did flip flop [before the vote] it is not a problem (I pretty much already said that so you might want to confront the people who are actually disagreeing with you on that point instead of me)
But there you are trying to characterize anyone who criticizes your dear leader for a flip flop as having a "patriarchal attitude." (And if anyone takes offense to that, you will accuse them of personally attacking you.)
Not sure why I am indulging you but examples of reporting:
"But the Liberal leader, Justin Trudeau, has taken a rather different position - or rather positions. When the idea of an international military campaign against Islamic State was first proposed last month, he spoke in favour of Canadian participation; now he is against it, having spent the intervening weeks saying he was undecided. Fair enough. Positions evolve. Only he still is not opposed to military intervention in principle: Only to Canada taking part in it. And he has not begun to explain why."

I think most people react just as you do, but they are mistaken. All the evidence of history is that no military action on the part of Canada will improve the circumstances of those thousands of innocent victims. There may be non-military actions that would help in the longer term, such as refusing to support regimes like Saudi Arabia, who perform dozens of beheadings every month, or supporting local democratic movements in the area, but there sure as hell is no quick fix. Only fools, which includes you and most of the public, imagine that there is.

Opinions on what Trudeau said and what he actually said are two different things. Trudeau spoke in favor of sending advisors not participating in combat. His reason for opposing air strikes by Canada is that he doesn't think it is the best way for us to contribute and that Harper has failed to make an argument for our participation in combat.

Another opinion piece almost entirely devoid of facts. Harper supporters will be trashing Trudeau and pumping Mulcair in the hopes of another 2011. Trudeau has long maintained the HOC is a sham, which it is, because Harper wasn't even there to participate in the "debate".
">http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/harper-readying-groundwork-for-canada-s-...
There is no quote from Trudeau stating that he supports Canadian air strikes and I don't believe he ever made one. Here is an expanded version of that journalist's opinion:
The issue Wednesday wasn't really about how many Canadian soldiers are advising Kurdish forces in Iraq. The point Mulcair and Liberal leader Justin Trudeau are determined to make is that the Conservatives are hiding their real plans from Canadians — even as their own positions evolve on a near daily basis.
Reporters asked Mulcair Wednesday for how the NDP felt about sending Canadian fighter jets to Iraq only to be told "there's no proposal on the table right now to do that.''
The NDP, he said, believes the focus should be on humanitarian aid.
It's all about trust, you see.
"The prime minister is intent on going to war in Iraq,'' Trudeau accused Harper on Wednesday. "It's up to him to make that case to Canadians. He hasn't even begun."
"How much are Canadians going to pay for the prime minister's war in Iraq,'' Mulcair followed.
And so it went, back and forth, Mulcair and Trudeau.
Mulcair said there was no proposal for air strikes on the table and the writer said Trudeau had approved air strikes. It makes no sense and he doesn't provide a quote.
"Instead, he dares us to oppose his war, staking out not moral territory but political territory," Trudeau said at a conference hosted by the think tank Canada2020. "Why aren't we talking more about the kind of humanitarian aid that Canada can and must be engaged in, rather than trying to whip out our CF-18s and show them how big they are? It just doesn't work like that in Canada."
Trudeau hit the nail on the head. That is exactly what Harper is doing. Note: Trudeau was speaking at a conference not in the HOC.
And yet they could not quote him. That would have been widely reported if it were true. It's a spin article. It doesn't mention the advisory role of the special forces. What Trudeau might have said is that he would consider it if the government makes a case for it not if the government recommends it.
What is your problem with that? Trudeau has said we should help in various non-combat roles.
Trudeau has from the beginning supported a temporary advisory role while stating that Harper is not being forthcoming enough with information on even the non-combat mission. There are no quotes from Trudeau supporting Canadian air strikes. He agrees that we have to contribute to the fight against ISIS but wants us to consider logistical areas in which Canada could excel.
He is not 100% opposed to a combat misson but says the case has not been made for it.
There is nothing inconsistent in Trudeau's position on Canada's response to ISIS.
Yeah yeah I should walk away from this stuff but three replies:
1) Pondering I want to make it clear, in case of ANY doubt that I am not asking you to post more. I am questioning why you singled me out to respond to when I was the least hostile to Trudeau in that thread (other than you of course).
2) Then your responses to the media article links -- the ones I provided were far, far more relevant than the stuff you produced a month ago to attack the NDP over the Martin government falling in spite of clear objective evidence to the contrary. I am not going to respond to your specific rebutals but the noting of your hypocrisy is irresistable.
3) Flip flop you call a term popularized by the Tea Party. This one is also irresistable. It is an old term way popular before the Tea Party and would be used in Canada regardless of whether they ever used it or not.
"Flip flop" is a perjorative immature and aggressive term that gained popularity in the US when the tea party used it against John Kerry on behalf of Bush."
BTW the Tea Party did not exist when the republicans were going after Kerry for a flip flop. Tea Party started in 2009. Kerry ran in 2004.
How about looking at the word?
Easy to find in web dictionaries: The word means "a sudden reversal of policy or strategy." It is widely used.
The word Flip Flop has been associated with Liberals long before any tea party.
It was used on the Pierre Trudeau over wage and price controls. It was used on Pierre Trudeau over the gas tax in 1980 (Clark's govenrment fell on the gas tax)
It was used on Stephane Dion by the Calgary Herald in 2008 to describe Dion's flip flop on the idea of running a deficit
It was used on Chretien over the GST and Free Trade.
It was used on Paul Martin with respect to his responses to adscam
In fact you will get 76,000 hits on Google for Liberal flip flop; 48,000 for NDP fLip flop; 24,000 for Conservative flip flop.
(At least the conservatives when they decide to fuck us don't change their minds so much)
Here is a lovely quote:
"I would like to hear Mr. Nicoll explain his great flip-flop, for three years ago, you know, as the Republican candidate for District Attorney, he bitterly denounced Tammany as a party run by bosses and in the interest of bossism.... Nicoll, who three years ago was denouncing Tammany, is its candidate to-day." -- New York Times 1890.
In the UK they use U-turn and in Australia Back-flip. All means the same. To suddenly change policy or direction.
Then there is your suggestion of a patriarchal attitude. Of course the word flip flop was carried into this thread through a quote from a Liberal (post 509) who happens to be a woman speaking about a man not the other way around.
And then I said this:
"People don't look back in history and remark much on evolving opinions of leaders but they will consider contradictions in actions -- so a contradiction in votes in the House would be interesting (although if the final position is popular not an election changer)."
How patriarchal is that. I wonder how people feel about you whipping out that card when you have a conflict even when it is irrelevant. Patriarchy is a serious issue. You trivializing it for your own purposes is quite sad.
I really wish that the next election would turn on a debate between you representing Trudeau and me representing the NDP. The result I am confident would be an NDP majority and the Liberals without party status.

Google's Docs, Sheets and Slides applications are some of the most popular for creating and managing files on smartphones. The applications received updates with one very useful feature that makes it easier for users to view and retrieve deleted files.
Google announced the new update on its blog, mentioning that the new feature makes it easy to retrieve trashed files that users might need and have accidentally or intentionally deleted.
In order to use the feature, users simply need to select the Trash section from the navigation menu in their Docs, Sheets or Slides app. Users are then given the option to restore or permanently delete the files found in the Trash section.
The update has been launched to both rapid and scheduled releases, which means that it should be available to users soon, but in some cases, it might take longer than three days to reach them.
