Q: problem with a string and parse XML I have a logical condition that does not work. it would compare two characters, one taken from the xml and the other I insert myself.
to let you know I am attaching below the code
NSString *telefono = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@", [[arrayColonnine objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]objectForKey:@"telefono"]];
NSString *trimmedTelefono = [telefono stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet:[NSCharacterSet whitespaceAndNewlineCharacterSet]];
        senzaTelefono = [[NSString alloc] initWithString:[trimmedTelefono stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];

if (telefono == @"NO")
if (trimmedTelefono == @"NO")
if (senzaTelefono == @"NO")

for each of the three strings if I do a log it print NO. but in none of the three cases the if works. how can I fix to make it work?
SOLUTION
the process is just this:
NSString *telefono = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@", [[arrayColonnine objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]objectForKey:@"telefono"]];
NSString *trimmedTelefono = [telefono stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet:[NSCharacterSet whitespaceAndNewlineCharacterSet]];

if ([trimmedTelefono isEqualToString:@"NO"]) {
 //do something...
}

A: You should use isEqualToString:
    if ([telefono isEqualToString:@"NO"])

if (telefono == @"NO") compares the objects being the same, not the contents being the same.

A: Don't use == to compare NSString objects.

We're currently in the midst of puppy and kitten season, the time of year when dogs and cats give birth and new homes are sought for their litters. Many of us view pets as something for young families to adopt, to teach the children about responsibilities and caring for animals. There is quite a lot to be said in favour of that, but there is also a lot to be said for single people, older people, and other demographics to consider adopting too. It may sound cliché, but there is a lot of science to back up the claims that animal companions can greatly improve a person's life. This blog will look at some of the main reasons behind this phenomenon.
Firstly and perhaps most obviously is the fact that animals provide companionship. There is a lot more to say on this than simply "It's nice to have someone to come home to". Dogs have been living with humans for over 30,000 years, and in that time, they have become finely attuned to our emotions. We all know that dogs have a deep understanding of our tone of voice, but they are also capable of comprehending our body language and general demeanour. More important than the fact that they can understand our emotions is the fact that, since they see us as part of their pack, they genuinely care. While people who do not own pets may see that as silly, people who care about animals will appreciate that they care back.
Cats on the other hand have been with us for about 10,000 years, since they first moved in with the ancient Egyptians. What is interesting about cats is that they are the only animals ever to domesticate themselves. Despite the negative opinions that many people have about cats, in reality they are just as affectionate as dogs, although their affection is often reserved for their close family, as cats are more territorial and less dependent on us for survival.
Psychologically speaking, there are a number of ways in which the very act of owning a pet can be beneficial to a person's mental health. The affection is a major aspect of this, as is the sense of purpose, the feeling of being needed, and the organisation that comes with pet ownership. Animals need to be walked, fed, washed, and so on, which gives us a sense of responsibility and motivation. Additionally, people tend to pick pets because they think they are cute, and they want to play with them. This is not only a way to pass time, but actually leads to increased levels of serotonin and dopamine, the chemicals that make us happy.
Furthermore, pets tend to make us more active. It has been shown that dog owners have lower blood pressure, possibly because of the walking involved. Pet owners in general have a lower risk of heart disease, are less likely to suffer from depression, and visit the doctor less often than people without pets.
There may be some disagreement as to why owning pets can be so beneficial to people, but countless scientific studies have shown that it is the reality. This is most likely a combination of the factors discussed above, among others, but we know that it works. It is because of this sort of research that many people now advocate pairing up abandoned pets with certain demographics such as the elderly, as it has been shown time and time again that people with pets live longer, happier lives than those without.

Feeling inspired by writing up the last post I decided it cant be that hard to convert my USB receiver into an Ethernet based one.
My USB implementation was using an old Freetronics Twenty Ten (the Eleven seems to be the latest equivalent) with one of the nRF modules soldered onto a ProtoShield Short.
I didn't want add more shields as things start to look ugly so I happened to have an EtherTen in my Arduino parts box so in theory its just swap the shield to the new base board, change the code to add the ethernet connection and all done! That's the theory anyway.
Like all good theories it wasn't that simple. The pins I happened to choose for the nRF module conflicted with the pins used for the Wiznet chip for Ethernet connectivity. No matter, I rewired the offending pins and changed the code to suit – fixed.
So the firmware connects to network and the sensor readings are being received, all working great – but where to send the data to?
While I'd eventually like to have the data stored and processed locally, Xively seems like a choice to get things up and running with little fuss. I can let the receiver run 24×7 for testing while I sort out something more permanent locally – or if Xively does all I need that it can stay there – meh at this stage who knows.
Anyway, the developer section of the Xively site is pretty simple, find and download the Arduino library from git add it the the Arduino libraries folder and your away.
Total integration time was less that one hour including some optimizations.
Here is the public link for the prototype.
The format is of the channel is XXXX.YY, where XXXX is the transmitters serial number, and YY is the sensor input number on that particular device.
You can see the setup is nice and compact but I don't like that I cant use the POE adapter board and a shield on the EtherTen at the same time so I still need to power the device from USB or the DC jack.
The nRF module is pretty much sitting over the shielded RJ45 connector which is probably acting as a ground plane – so not ideal.
Anyway for now I have a handy 12VDC source readily available so I'll hook up the DC jack. Then I don't need to have it connected to my desktop PC all the time – except for debugging.
Update: Things have gone fine expect for an outage at exactly 9 PM one night. Not sure why – but the timing seems to perfect, perhaps the DHCP lease expired?
I changed the code to renew the DHCP lease and left the debugging output running to hopefully catch something. Could have been a random power issue resetting the Wiznet chip – who knows.


The aftersales automotive services are essential to customers and vital in helping dealerships compensate declining profit margins. In Germany, aftersales make up 23% of a dealer's revenues but contributes 54% to profits. Similarly in the US in the first six months of 2013 aftersales made up 12% of dealership revenues but contributed 40% to gross profit.
Global aftersales growth mostly fuelled by emerging markets is estimated at 3,4% per annum (CAGR) until 2017. However, the European aftersales volume is expected to decrease between 8% and 25% by 20201. This is caused by several reasons such as car maintenance visits will decrease as servicing will be required every 30,000 km instead of every 15,000 km, reduction in the number of accidents and an increase of spare parts quality. These effects will not be outweighed by an increase in the number of car components and an increase in the average car age.
The supply of aftersales services can be broadly split up amongst following participants: OEM authorised workshops, independent workshops and do-ityourself. The market share of OEM dealerships in Germany is 58% whilst in the US 27%. However, OEM dealers appear to be losing market share in saturated markets. For instance, in North America between 2000 and 2012 OEM authorised workshops have lost 5% market share in after sales services. Similar trends are expected in Europe.
The decrease in market share for OEMs dealerships has been caused by specialized independent repair shops who are developing cost advantages. Due to the economies of scale, they can offer lower prices. Specialists include: discounters for tires, brake shops, quick oil servicing.
The aftersales market size for saturated markets is shrinking and OEM dealers are losing their share of the market.
Moreover, third parties and providers of aftersales services are starting to establish new models of cooperation. For instance the German motoring club ADAC and the German insurance company HUK Coburg are increasingly impacting their member's choice of repairers with incentives and might even plan to establish own repair networks.
Summing up, the aftersales market size for saturated markets is shrinking and OEM dealers are facing tough competition hence losing their share of the market. The once highly profitable services are now coming under attack by specialised workshops, which can offer highly competitive prices.
Service partners need to focus on customer experience throughout the aftersales journey.
Service partners, therefore, need to focus on differentiating themselves away from the low-cost providers in order to maintain market share and profit margins. One common and highly successful strategy has been in playing focus on customer experience throughout the aftersales journey. Today's customers are used to the exclusive service and luxury of the Ritz Carlton Hotels, the service and product consistency of Starbucks, the online experience and easy POS of Amazon and the tailored experience combined with product knowledge of Apple. A study carried out by McKinsey shows that 85% of consumers use physical outlets however only one in four is happy with the customer experience at the store or dealership.
It is, therefore, important to reposition dealerships to impact customers during the ownerships phase, by offering exclusive and advanced customer experience within aftersales.
At Zulla Consulting & Partners, we have devised a framework to outline the key implementation measures in order to significantly impact customer satisfaction and service experience. Our broad range of in-house tools enables us to monitor and influence each customer touchpoint across the retail journey.
The customer retail journey is a commonly used term in marketing to describe the customer's lifecycle and interactions across so called touch points with a product, service or brand. It incorporates the customer's experience from his point of view enabling the company to adapt to customer's needs. If the customer retail journey is planned out correctly and executed for each customer segment, it helps to develop a coherent experience across all customer touchpoints and increases the service experience.

FRANTZ OMAR FANON : URGENT LESSONS FOR THE BOLIVARIAN REVOLUTION
Date: Sunday, March 27 @ 10:12:12 AST
Topic: Venezuela
By Franz J. T. Lee
A while ago, in a VHeadline commentary we have dealt with the ideological concept "race", its global implications in such terms as "fascism", "racism" or "racial prejudice"; the historic roots of oligarchic racism in Venezuela; its meaning after the globalized bourgeois-democratic capitalist revolution, its colonial, psychological sublimation in mass media communication, morality, ethics, aesthetics, politics, ideology and religion in Venezuela, in Latin America and elsewhere.
See: http://www.vheadline.com/readnews.asp?id=22589
Nearly forty years ago, within the context of armed revolutionary struggle in Africa against metropolitan global hegemony, Franz Omar Fanon has explained to us in Latin America the ideological relation between Capitalism and Racism, especially the transcendental superation of Social Revolution towards Global Emancipation.
In previous commentaries, we have indicated that Social Discrimination , the North American "hegemony complex", its "Full Spectrum Dominance" and "Space Control" syndromes, transmitted as oligarchic racism and "race superiority" to Venezuela ... as generated by the trans-historic, capitalist, imperialist, alienating labor process, as third basic element of its sub-humanizing quintessence ... is nothing else than the superstructural ideological reflex and reflection of the "international division of labor", of the World Market, of the existent, constitutionally ratified social relations of economic private property of the means of production and of mass communication.
In his world-renowned works, Frantz Fanon clearly stated, that there is no Capitalism, no Capital Accumulation, without Racism, that there exists no Racism without Capitalism. In Venezuela, as inalienable social objective of the Bolivarian Revolution, in order to realize "Our Socialism" (Chavez) victoriously, ... that is, in order to emancipate ourselves from savage "neo-liberal" wage-slavery, imperial, oligarchic Capitalism and United States Corporatism ... to eliminate Racism successfully, we have no alternative but to annihilate Capitalism itself on a world scale.
As Fanon indicated in his The Wretched of the Earth (New York, 1965. Reprint of Les damnes de la terre, Paris, 1961), you cannot poison the black mamba with its own reformist venom, you cannot eliminate Capitalism with its own productive and reproductive inventions, with the aims and objectives of the intra-systemic, bourgeois, democratic French Revolution, with its accomplished goal: Globalization.
You cannot serve Christ and Mammon at the same time! Not even in critical times of revolutionary renaissance, especially not in the current transitional, trans-volutionary, trans-historical realities! As he did for centuries, the Yankee shark will immediately snip off our little Latin American finger begging for reformist reconciliation and democratic dialogue. Fanon categorically taught us this simple, intrinsic, essential truism of real Human Emancipation.
Permanent World Revolution, Socialism, is just a sine qua non for Global Human Emancipation, for Free Human Creative Creation.
Furthermore, Fanon warned that with reformist, intra-systemic, social "face-lifting" of a dying, global, capitalist culture in agony, with more "libertarian, egalitarian" redistribution of capitalist wealth, profits, exchange values, goods and "income", with globalized, military "social justice", with constructing newly enriched "middle classes", ... that presuppose lower toiling classes and upper parasitic classes, with political alliances between "Capital and Labor" ... we are just digging our very own working class graves, realizing the ALCA in Latin America, and its corresponding NEPAD (The New Partnership for Africa's Development) in Africa, into whose epicenter already Nelson Mandela and Thabo Mbeki have fallen as tragic "wholesale" victims of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. .
Now, what has Racism got to do with the colonized "Human Being", with the still existing puntofijista master-slave, capitalist-worker mentality in Venezuela, to whom Sartre refers to in his Introduction to Frantz Fanon's "Wretched of the Earth"?
This central issue refers to revolutionary class conscience and consciousness, not only in Algeria or Africa, but also in Venezuela and Latin America. It concerns the question ... in spite of the fact that very few comrades officially speak about class struggle in Venezuela ... whether de facto the Venezuelan masses during the "Caracazo" (1989) and the "Military Coup" (2002) had acted class consciously in a radical revolutionary sense or not, or both, or even neither the one nor the other.
To answer this imperative question scientifically, a revolutionary psychology within an emancipatory theory would be necessary, which obviously cannot be elaborated here.
However, precisely to counter social discrimination, in all its forms, to develop a new revolutionary theory, a theory of emancipation, already Fanon suggested the development of a New Psychology of Colonial Relationships.
His new revolutionary ideas about Psychiatry and the Nature of Therapy he expounded in his famous writings: The Wretched of the Earth, Black Skin, White Masks (New York: Grove, 1967, Reprint of Peau noire, masques blancs, Paris, 1952); and Toward the African Revolution (New York, 1967, Reprint of Pour la revolution africaine, Paris, 1964).
However, to explain Fanon's New Práxis and Theory, his "New Socialism", like in the case of Simon Bolivar and Hugo Chavez Frias, we cannot divorce their Praxical Science and Theoretical Philosophy, from their true life, from their real historic context. Very briefly, just underlining the most important events, for those who are not yet acquainted with Fanon, here is his historic life.
FRANTZ OMAR FANON, the West Indian Psychoanalyst and Social Philosopher, was born in 1925 in French Martinique, and he died on December 6, 1961, in Washington, D. C. In his youth, he received his basic education in Martinique and France. During the intra-imperialist European World War II, alongside with Senghor, he was serving in the French Army; later he completed his studies in medicine at the University of Lyon. Then he left for Algeria, where, between 1953 and 1956, he directed the Psychiatry Department of the Hospital Blida-Joinville.
In 1954 he joined the liberation movement, and two years later he became Editor-In-Chief of its famous newspaper, El Moudjahid, published in Tunis. Thereafter a rebel "Provisional Government" was formed, and in 1960, Fanon became its Ambassador to Ghana.
His famous work, The Wretched of the Earth, whose title he took from the socialist song, the International, "was published by Jean-Paul Sartre in the year of his death. Fanon died at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland, where he had sought treatment for his cancer, on December 6, 1961. At his request, his body was returned to Algeria and buried with honors by the Algerian National Army of Liberation."
(For more information, see: http://www.english.emory.edu/Bahri/Fanon.html )
Now, because they belong to his short biography, let us make some remarks about his two major works, written between 1952 and 1961.
Peau noire, masques blancs, Black Skin, White Masks, reflects his personal frustrations with colonial discrimination, with racism. In his early youth, Fanon came to the conclusion that he should know, should understand himself, his essence, as he is, as the world sees him. This is why he became a writer, a writer of essence, a political science writer.
This age-old "Know Thyself!" is pertinent for the Bolivarian Revolution, it is the origin of an individual class consciousness, of eventual social, revolutionary, working class consciousness.
He taught us what to do, what to think in our revolutionary Bolivarian Circles, Missions and Endogenous Social Projects.
Fanon wanted to write down, to understand the absurdities and possibilities of rationalization of the world in which he lived.
He wanted not only to communicate to others, but he also wanted to communicate the possibility of their common experience, of making the revolution, of creating emancipation. Exactly in this process, like us, he was confronted with Global and Globalized Info-War, with Conspiracy Hoaxes, Big Lies, with Social Discrimination, with Racism.
As Caribbean, as Venezuelan, as a Martiniquean, "whitened" by bare- and pale-faced colonialism, but stark "black" in the blue aristocratic eyes of "Colon", of the colonizer, of the oligarchs, but also in the brown hateful eyes of the colonized, he wanted to analyze psychologically, ideologically, the roots of this evil, of Racism, and to develop a real, revolutionary, emancipating "panacea" against this social plight of (wo)mankind.
At the age of 27, Fanon published Peau noire, masques blancs, and his world outlook had already transcended simple human relationships, the simple explanation of isolated events. His philosophic thought became more complex, more complicated, more theoretical; this was the only way intellectually to grasp universal social and colonial complexities.
As was already true in the case of Simon Bolivar himself, we should learn from Fanon, how to eradicate our inculcated hatred against theory, to eliminate our favorite ideologies, our religious doctrines and dogmas, our intellectual slackness, our mental concreteness and our fear of "ivory-tower" philosophy, once and for all.
In fact, in the very bloody, revolutionary, armed struggle, Fanon was thinking, which is no Sunday afternoon window-shopping spree, was studying Hegel's " Phenomenology of the Mind" and Sartre's "Being and Nothingness".
At the Bolivarian Universities, just for a humble start, adding Marx's Capital, we would urgently recommend the conscientious study of these, including the works of the Latin American "dependence" thinkers, to all comrades.
Because President Chavez is already reading Trotsky's "Permanent Revolution", we have no excuse whatsoever not to do likewise, and to begin to philosophize ourselves. Consequently, what were the precognitive, cognitive and retrocognitive, philosophic results of Fanon's intellectual and rational endeavors?
He came to the conclusion ... arriving at the vital question, whether it was possible, that in a revolutionary way, the "colonized" ... that all those like him, all those black skins, with white masks, could live in emancipated relations and solidarity, could form historic, disalienated relationships.
As a result of his psychological, economic, political and social studies, like in the current revolutionary spirit of President Chavez of Venezuela, as mentioned above, he posited a praxical solidarity of real sentiments among the "colonized"; he analyzed their "false" identity, the falsified "roots" of their identity, and underlined their unsustainable capitalist exploitation and social deprivation.
Furthermore, he pointed out that the so-called individual exists in a social nexus, caught in an enormous WEB, which neither Marx nor Freud had, or could describe in its ultimate finesse. None of them, and many others, had concerned themselves with "blacks", with "coolies", with "camel drivers", with their "psyche", with their life conditions and problems. These "Third World", third-class "speaking tools", these dirty, stinking "pack animals" were simply not worth of any psychological or philosophical consideration; their "animal instincts" did not serve, neither for the use nor for the abuse of aristocratic or bourgeois, democratic "Philosophy" (See: Voltaire, Montesquieu, Hegel, and even Marx and Engels).
Now, Bolivarians, what liberating method did Fanon suggest for urgent revolutionary consideration?
A very simple, but realistic one. He considered the relations between "colonized" and "colonizers", between masters and slaves, between capitalists and workers, between Cisneros and "tin-collectors", as part of a rigid global system. To "unlock" them, he suggested a revolutionary metamorphosis of these basic relations. This involved, individually, a constant active and thinking process for recognition, based on the achievement of a more developed form of thinking, of consciousness, of revolutionary theory, not ideology, and to develop permanently new subjectives, objectives and "transjectives" of emancipation.
Painting a detailed Rembrandtesque picture ... concerning revolutionary co-operatives in Venezuela ... collectively, he urged, that a new process of rediscovery should be launched, not influenced by colonial capitalist education or imperialist history, that a revision and revaluation of one's own past and that of all oppressed, dominated and discriminated classes should be undertaken, and that ultimately a monstrous system would be discovered, of global conquest, robbery, pillage and lies, which has to be destroyed by all means necessary, including emancipatory violence, in order to pave the road towards a new "(wo)man", who would be conscious of him/herself, and who would assume a new emancipated identity.
This, also described by Che Guevara, as his " Nuevo Hombre", his "New Man", should be the revolutionary quintessence of all our Venezuelan educational endeavors, of our missions, of our schools and universities.
However, now coming to the essential part of Fanon's famous classic, what did he explain about self-defending, emancipatory violence?
What did he suggest that we should do to counter the eternally threatening North American fascism and terrorism?
Against global, globalized corruption, intrigues, conspiracies, genocide, manipulation, indoctrination, mind control, Fanon, to liberate Algeria, Africa and the rest of the "Third World", individually and socially, in his Wretched of the Earth, advocated self-defense, revolutionary counter-violence, as remedy against all the psychological and physical damage caused by colonialism and imperialism on a global scale.
Why did Fanon arrive at this radical emancipatory solution?
Fanon was convinced that violent counter-revolution, that is, emancipatory self-defense, was the only means for the hundred millions of impoverished peasants, the suffering "lumpenproletariat" and toiling or unemployed workers of Africa (for his revolutionary subjects), of ending their terrorist, colonial exploitation, repression, discrimination, psychological alienation and cultural traumas.
He explained that revolutionary armed struggle "was a cleansing force. It frees the native from his inferiority complex and from his despair and inaction; it makes him fearless and restores his self-respect."
In his previous work, he already explained this personal drama of all "black" and "coloured" peoples, as follows:
"I have no wish to be the victim of the Fraud of a black world. My life should not be devoted to drawing up the balance sheet of Negro values. There is no white world, there is no white ethic, any more than there is a white intelligence. There are in every part of the world men who search. I am not a prisoner of history. I should not seek there for the meaning of my destiny. I should constantly remind myself that the real leap consists in introduction, invention into existence. In the world through which I travel, I am endlessly creating myself."
(See: Frantz Fanon, Black Skin, White Masks, 1952)
Leaving his personal experiences aside for the moment ... the many attempts to assassinate him, which are already sufficient reasons to arrive at such "radical" conclusions ... his emancipatory thesis, as expressed in his notion of the cathartic effect of counter-violence, of this "cleansing force", of this "royal pardon", was, that decolonization, emancipation, could not be victorious, as a first step. if the "wretched" did not seize political power from the "colonizers", by means of a violent, armed, popular liberation struggle, if every individual did not participate in this healing process, to expunge her/himself from the evils of colonialism and imperialism, from the sado-masochistic relations, inferiority complexes, auto-aggression, envy of colonial privileges, of master and servant relations, of the slave mentality, etc. Only, thereafter, economic and social emancipation can be launched effectively.
Here, he insisted that everyone must take a bite in this bitter capitalist apple, to find, to identify, to know oneself, to discover the revolutionary proof by eating the sour (neo-)colonial racist pudding all by oneself. In this way, the roots of social revolutionary class struggle can be nurtured in fertile emancipatory soil, in Africa, Asia, in America, in Venezuela, and elsewhere.
Relevant today, for Fanon, this simply means that in emancipatory self-defense, in the liberation class war, the bloody path chosen by the global warlords, to kill the "colonizer" in one's very colonized "soul", was on planet Earth to kill forever both the "colonizer" and the "colonized" with the very same revolutionary, dialectical act. According to him, only this can be Africa's "royal pardon" in relation to imperialist Europe, to corporate America, and to Clobal Fascism. This is what it means to arm oneself, to pick up arms against a globalized "sea of troubles".
This is currently the choice which Washington D.C. has left to Iran, Venezuela and the "axis if evil". !
In Venezuela, whether we like it or not, only this emancipatory counter-violence can separate scientifically the obsolete, puntofijista, reactionary, counter-revolutionary chaff, ... nationally and internationally already in an advanced stage of historic decomposition ... from the healthy, germinating, genetically and mentally, not modified, not controlled wheat within the very Bolivarian revolution itself.
This is applying a class analysis, the class struggle, to the Bolivarian revolution itself.
This is also the "cleansing force", the "cathartic effect of counter-violence", the emancipatory purification of the Bolivarian Revolution.
This is real, true Revolution in the Revolution.
In conclusion, in this sense, Fanon described our current (neo-)colonized world in Latin America and elsewhere, as a manichean reality, as a compartmentalized structure, in which the worst, alienating, European and North American, colonial, import products, the corrupt, bureaucratic, juridical and religious systems, have played, and are still playing, havoc with our bodies, brains and minds.
These are the real social dangers facing the future of the Bolivarian Revolution.
At the same time, he criticized Marxism, which did not analyze and which failed to include the "wretched classes", the "barbaric and semi-barbaric" peoples in its emancipatory práxis and theory. This error we should not commit, it will have fatal results for our very existence.
Finally, for further details, for more profound studies, concerning the above, in his work, "For the African Revolution", Fanon explained the specific elements of the application of his revolutionary theory of counter-violence, of organizing the global liberation struggle.
Concerning his real contribution to African Emancipation, Ntongela Masilela explains the following to us:
"In a Presence Africaine issue of 1962, in a section devoted to homages concerning Fanon, Aime Cesaire, the great Martiniquan poet and Fanon's mentor, eulogized him as the theoretician of revolutionary action and of the process of decolonization.
Kwame Nkrumah, then the President of Ghana and the living embodiment of the Pan-Africanist philosophy, in the same review, characterized Fanon as the liberator and emancipator of Africa, whose ultimate aim was to bring about the unification of Africa.
Jean-Paul Sartre, the French exponent of Existentialist philosophy, then in the process of attempting to forge a synthesis between Existentialism and Marxism in his colossal but digressive book, Critique of Dialectical Reason , published in 1960, in a preface to Cesaire's play of 1966 Une saison au Congo about the tragic Congo events of 1960, wrote that both Lumumba and Fanon were great men who died at the same age and in the same year; their different historical visions and political praxes represented that which was pre-eminently the best in human culture and civilization.
In this essay on the political thought of Patrice Lumumba, which in fact is a great document of our century in which a great European philosophical mind grappled with the tragic flaws of an African political genius, Sartre stated that concerning Fanon still much needs to be said. As far as Lumumba, Sartre felt his tragedy lay in the fact that he was a revolutionary without a revolution, a Black Jacobin in the era of African nationalisms. For Fanon, the tragic failure of Lumumba in the Congo (today Zaire), was the failure of a politically disunited and inexperienced Africa."

Pickup truck plows into McDonald's in Kimball Junction

A pickup truck plowed into McDonald's in Kimball Junction after its driver suffered what the Summit County Sheriff's office called a "medical emergency" around 10 a.m. Tuesday.
Courtesy of Summit County Sheriff's Office
A pickup truck smashed through a window at the McDonald's in Kimball Junction Tuesday morning after the driver apparently passed out at the wheel while driving on an adjacent frontage road.
The man had what Summit County Sheriff Lt. Andrew Wright described as a "medical episode" behind the wheel before heading over an embankment and crashing into the building. Wright said the man was driving one moment, and the next thing he knew, he woke up having crashed into McDonald's. The department received the call just before 10 a.m.
Summit County assistant building official Richard Butz arrived at around 11 a.m. to make sure the building was safe to reopen. He said the driver couldn't have hit a better place if he tried. The truck took out the large window and the bottom part of the wall, Butz said, but missed the "trimmers" that hold up the structure.
McDonald's was open at the time of the crash, and Butz said there was a customer sitting "right next to the window." No patrons, however, were injured.
"We were awfully lucky," he said.
Park City Fire District Deputy Chief Bob Zanetti said the driver was taken to the hospital by a family member for minor injuries.

Criminal Appeal No 164 of 1984
Agesaa v Republic
Court of Appeal at Malindi
James Nyarangi Onyiego, Alan Robin Winston Hancox, Alister Arthur Kneller
Individual v Government
REPUBLIC OF KRNYA
Court of Appeal, at Mombasa July 16, 1985
(Appeal from the High Court at Mombasa, Aragon, J)
July 16, 1985, Kneller, Hancox & Nyarangi JJAdelivered the following Judgment.
The appellant and another were jointly charged with stealing from a locked vehicle contrary to section 279(g) of the Penal Code (cap 63). The co-accused pleaded guilty, was convicted and sentenced to imprisonment. The appellant pleaded not guilty, was tried, convicted and on May 9, 1984, he was sentenced to 3 years' imprisonment plus 5 strokes corporal punishment. He appealed to the High Court (Bhandari, J) on the grounds that there was no evidence to corroborate the evidence that the appellant had committed the offence; that the magistrate had ignored that part of the prosecution evidence which established the innocence of the appellant; that the appellant had not been identified sufficiently; that the magistrate considered the prosecution and defence evidence in isolation, which was an error; and that the appellant should not have been put on his defence.
The trial judge summarily rejected the appeal under section 352(2) of the Criminal Procedure Code (cap 75), causing the appellant to file this second appeal because there were substantial points of law raised in the first petition of appeal.
Mr Metho, the principal state counsel, Coast, conceded the appeal for the reason that the evidence for the prosecution was insufficient, the identification unsatisfactory and the two main witnesses contradicted one another.
In this second appeal, the issue of law which arise, although it is not in the second petition of appeal, is whether or not the learned judge should summarily have rejected the first appeal under section 352(2) of the Criminal Procedure Code.
The appeal was not brought on the ground that the conviction is against the weight of the evidence or that the sentence is excessive. The jurisdiction to reject an appeal summarily can only be exercised when an appeal is brought on one or both of those two grounds. Moreover it must appear to the judge that the evidence is sufficient to support the conviction and that there is no material in the circumstances of the case which could raise a reasonable doubt whether the conviction was right or lead him to the opinion that the sentence ought to be reduced.
The grounds of appeal to the High Court, looked at fairly and considered in their totality, do not answer to a submission that the appeal is against the weight of evidence. Osongo and Another v Republic, [1972] EA 170 and David Kingori Gitahi v Republic Criminal Appeal No 2 of 1985.
In our judgment the learned judge erred in summarily rejecting the appeal.
Normally, after holding that a summary rejection was made in error, we would remit the appeal of the High Court for disposal according to law. In the circumstances we invoke section 3(2) of the Appellate Jurisdiction Act, cap 9, and proceed to determine the appeal on its merits. As we have already stated, learned principal state counsel conceded the appeal for the reasons which we have set out. In the analysis of the evidence the learned magistrate found, correctly, that the unsworn and uncorroborated evidence of Maurice PW 2 and that of Odanga PW 4 did not enhance the prosecution case. James Odhiambo PW 3 whom the learned magistrate described as a :
"truthful and reliable witness"
said he saw two men, one of whom was carrying something which was covered by paper, walk past her. The witness claimed in his evidence in-chief that he knew the two men well and that the appellant was one of them. Under cross-examination, Odhiambo said he did not see the faces of the men, that he saw them from behind and that he did not know them by name. That was the only evidence of identification which in our view was unsatisfactory and inadequate. The witness did not at all recognize the two men. The other key prosecution witness was Mjomba PW 5 whose evidence so riled the learned magistrate that
"it was apparent that they may have been interfered with and schooled to cheat in court".
The prosecution evidence was of poor quality and the principal state counsel was right to concede the appeal. Accordingly, we allow the appeal, quash the conviction, set aside the sentence and order the appellant shall be set at liberty unless otherwise lawfully detained.

The Boreal Forest
Written by L. E. Carmichael
Illustrated by Josée Bisaillon
Combining lyrical storytelling with expertly researched informational text, this beautiful book provides a year-long tour of the planet's largest land biome --- one of our most important wildernesses.
The vast boreal forest spans a dozen countries in the northern regions like "a scarf around the neck of the world," making it the planet's largest land biome. Besides providing homes for a diversity of species, this spectacular forest is also vitally important to the planet: its trees clean our air, its wetlands clean our water and its existence plays an important role in slowing global climate change. In this beautifully written book, award-winning author L. E. Carmichael explores this special wilderness on a tour of the forest throughout the four seasons, from one country to another. Evocative watercolor and collage artwork by award-winning illustrator Josée Bisaillon provides a rare glimpse of one of the world's most magnificent places.
With excellent STEM applications in earth science and life science, this enjoyable book aims to foster environmental awareness of and appreciation for this crucial forest and its interconnections with the entire planet. In a unique approach, the text features a lyrical fictional narrative describing the wildlife in a specific part of the forest, paired with informational sidebars to provide further understanding and context. Also included are a world map of the forest, infographics on the water cycle and the carbon cycle, a glossary, resources for further reading, author's sources and an index. This book has been reviewed by experts and was written in consultation with Indigenous peoples who live in the boreal forest region.

In this article, I will share some insights that help determine when it is in your best interest to convert your Excel sheets to a real database.

Instagram's New Hyperlapse App Lets You Turn Videos Into Time Lapses
Matt Southern August 27, 2014
Instragram stated in an announcement today that one of their priorities has always been to provide users with "simple yet powerful tools that let people capture moments and express their creativity."
Staying true to their mission statement, Instagram has introduced a new app called Hyperlapse. Hyperlapse lets users capture high-quality time lapse videos even while in motion.
A traditional time lapse video typically rely on you holding the still while filming. Hyperlapse offer built-in stabilization technology that lets you create time lapse videos while on the movie.
Instagram promises that Hyperlapse will create videos that "result in a cinematic look, quality and feel", which is something that they claim has previously only been possible with expensive equipment.
If you're thinking "oh great, something else I need to sign up to now", then you're going to love Hyperlapse because you don't even need to create an account in order to use the app.
With Hyperlapse you can open up the app and begin recording right away. Tap once to begin recording and tap again to stop. Choose a playback speed that you like between 1x-12x and tap the green check mark to save it to your camera roll. From there you can share your video on Instagram.
Hyperlapse is available right now for iOS devices — it is currently only available for iOS. There was no mention of an Android version being in the works, but as an Android owner myself I sure hope to see Hyperlapse to make its way to the Google Play store sooner than later.
To learn more about Hyperlapse, and to see how it works, check out the launch video below:

A modern retelling of Shakespeare's classic comedy about two pairs of lovers with different takes on romance and a way with words. Directed by Joss 'He's so hot right now' Whedon and starring alumni of his cult TV shows, Much Ado is sure to be a highlight of JDIFF for many.
After Lucia
Directed by Michel Franco. Starring Tessa Ia, Hernan Mendoza

Surprise Film
Directed by ??? Starring ???
What would JDIFF be without a Surprise Film? The tickets are always the most sought after, and the movie could turn out to be one you love, or create feelings of deep ambivalence within you, but the Surprise Film is always a surprise. Past screenings have included Casa De Mi Padre, Buffalo Soldiers, Hamlet 2 and The Squid and The Whale.
As well as these, JDIFF will also show the first Irish screening of the Wachowski siblings' Cloud Atlas, classic crime drama LA Confidential – with Danny DeVito in attendance – the IFTA nominated film Mea Maxima Culpa: Silence in the House of God and literally hundreds of other films.
As well as screenings, JDIFF will play host to master classes and special events that are designed to help develop and grow the Irish film industry, and the Dublin Film Critics Circle will reveal their ponderings on JDIFF 2013.
The full programme is available at JDIFF.com and tickets are on sale now.

Home / Blog / BUSY WEEK FOR ANSA MOTORSPORTS RACERS CHAPONICK AND SANDBERG IN ALABAMA
BUSY WEEK FOR ANSA MOTORSPORTS RACERS CHAPONICK AND SANDBERG IN ALABAMA
The 2016 Pirelli World Challenge GTS Championship started last month, and four out of 19 races have already been completed. ANSA Motorsports driver, Brett Sandberg, leads the very contested GTS Championship after four rounds, and Dore Chaponick Jr., is ranked 7th. The next two rounds take place this weekend at Barber Motorsports Park in Alabama, as part of the Indy Grand Prix of Alabama, where the Pirelli World Challenge teams and drivers will share the track with the stars of the Verizon IndyCar series. Chaponick will drive the No. 12 ANSA Motorsports KTM X-Bow and GTS Championship round 2 winner at COTA. Brett Sandberg will drive the No. 13 ANSA Motorsports KTM X-Bow. Sandberg had a very good early season with three podium finishes in four races, including a win at Circuit of the Americas, the first for ANSA Motorsports in the Pirelli World Challenge GTS Championship. This weekend, the New Jersey racer is looking to run at the front of the pack and strengthen his championship lead. Chaponick, who suffered a few minor technical issues in the last races that kept him from performing at his peak, is eager finally to prove that he is as fast as the rest of the top drivers in the series and will be looking to score his first podium in Alabama. ANSA Motorsports co-owner, Alain Nadal, who recently announced Patrick Otto Madsen as a new business partner in the team, said he is excited by the potential outcome of the Alabama race weekend, because he believes that the Reiter Engineering KTM X-Bow is going to be one of the cars to beat on the 2.3-mile, 17-turn Barber Motorsports Park road course. Practice for the Barber event will start on Thursday, April 21, at 12:45 p.m. CST, with a second session at 3 p.m., followed by qualifying at 5:15 p.m. Race 1 of 2 is set for Friday, April 22, at 1:15 p.m. and race 2 on Saturday, April 23, at 9:45 a.m. The Barber GTS Championship rounds 5 and 6 will air on CBS Sports Network, Saturday, May 7, at 1 p.m. EDT. Follow ANSA Motorsports drivers racing on live stream at World-Challenge.com. Car 12 Dore Chaponick's pre-race quote: "I am really focused for the next race in Alabama and excited about our chances. I have been preparing my body and mind for Barber to be as ready as possible, since it is a very demanding racetrack. I am a hundred percent ready." Car 13 Brett Sandberg's pre-race quote: "I am extremely excited to get back behind the wheel of our No. 13 ANSA Motorsports Reiter Engineering KTM X Bow. Going into this week, leading the championship certainly has its way of adding a bit a pressure, but I am confident in our team's ability to perform, and I know our KTM X-Bow will be strong here at Barber!"

My last pic of Squeaky before cancer got him last spring. He was at least 16. You can see he's surfing r/cats with me!
My beautiful little old lady cat (3 legs, 5 pounds, asthma) had to go to the vet, and the best way to transport her is in a reusable grocery bag. Unfortunately, we found out she has bone cancer and about a month to live. Here she is enjoying her cozy bag.

You might be surprised by the number of activities for kids in Palm Springs. I know I was. There's the Living Desert zoo and botanical garden with its maze of miniature trains, Knott's Soak City Water Park with its abundance of waterslides and a gigantic wave pool, and the Aerial Tramway's spinning ascent to Mount San Jacinto State Park. But I am convinced fabulous hotel pools are the real reason families flock to this oasis in the California desert. It seems every hotel in Palm Springs has got a spectacular hotel pool (or two or three). How to choose where to stay? Well, here are some reasons to pick the Westin Mission Hills Resort & Spa for your next family vacation in the Palm Springs area.
A poolside ping pong table and life-sized checkers board add to the fun. Poolside lunch service is available with casual options like chicken fingers and hot dogs for kids and more grown-up fare like fish tacos for parents. Throw a pina colada or strawberry daiquiri in the mix and this Travel Mama is in vacation heaven!
Vacations aren't just for the kids so be sure to book a spa treatment at the 14,00-square-foot Spa at Mission Hills during your stay. I opted for the Chardonnay Valley Massage, with soothing vino-scented body lotion. There was no drinking involved but my treatment plus a soak in the outdoor Jacuzzi in the spa garden left me feeling pleasantly buzzed.
To ease any guilt caused by vacation-induced over-eating, you can do as I did, and burn off some calories at the adjoining 24-hour gym with its gorgeous view of the golf course.
I'm not a golfer but my husband is. Throughout our stay he was drooling over the two championship PGA courses; the centerpiece of this huge resort. No, unfortunately he did not have time to hit the fairways while we were there. I'm still hearing about that one…!
My children (ages 4 and 7) ADORED the Westin Kids Discovery Room. In fact, when my husband and I attempted to retrieve our offspring after dinner out at the oh-so-delicious Tommy Bahamas restaurant and bar in nearby Palm Desert, my 4-year-old started crying because he didn't want to leave. Available to children ages 4 to 12, activities like arts and crafts, scavenger hunts, cookie decorating and Wii tournaments are sure to please your kids, too. Plan ahead and make a reservation since the club may not be open if no other children have signed up.
We stayed in one of the resort's two Chairman Suites, which was GIGANTIC. I can't think of a nicer hotel room I have ever stayed in. Think hardwood floors, a fireplace, marble bathrooms with fluffy robes, a vanity for Mama, and a sweeping view of the golf course. The massive living room plus dining area provided a leisurely and decadent spot to relax while watching family movies post-swimming. A kitchen area with coffee maker and small refrigerator made storing breakfast goodies and snacks easy.
The suite consisted of two bedrooms, one with two queen-sized beds for the kids and a master bedroom with a king-sized bed and…get this…a private outdoor hot tub on the patio! Don't believe me? Check out this short video (with a little mood music) of our sweet hot tub.
Think the Chairman Suite is way out of your budget? Think again! The gal at the front desk said that during the resort's low season (summer), you can sometimes nab that grandiose suite for just $350 per night, or if you're very lucky even $250 per night. If traveling with grandparents or another family with whom you could split the cost, that's downright affordable. For the best rates, book your room online and then call to ask for an upgrade.
There are also eight Presidential Suites with the same layout but slightly less square footage, which typically go for $100 less per night. Even if you don't want to book a suite, 90 percent of the rooms at the Westin Mission Hills Resort & Spa are connecting, making this hotel a great option for families who want to have some extra space for sleep, play and privacy.

A Note from The Travel Mama: Thank you to the Westin Mission Hills Resort & Spa for hosting a portion of our stay at your resort.
Love it! Especially the 6 seconds of mood music and video. Looks like a fabulous place to stay if we ever head down that way, which I really hope we do. California needs to get on our radar ASAP!
Keryn – Oh, I hope you do make it to California soon! And you MUST come down to San Diego if you do. I'd love to see you IRL!
My kids would go crazy for the pools. I go crazy for massive suites with living/dining areas!
Wow- that hot tub is amazing. I really could go for my own private balcony hot tub…. ahhh…..
