Unlearning the logic of race in the South African school
Crain Soudien
Realising the Dream: Unlearning the logic of race in the South African school is an intellectual and practical response to the dangers that come with the ubiquity of race, race-thinking and its attendant propensity to subsume the nuances of all other social complexity.
Beginning with a comprehensive scoping of the theoretical literature on race and social difference, the book delivers a meticulous examination of how the 'logic of race' is played out in the lives of post-apartheid South African school students. Based in two decades of empirical research, this compelling and insightful analysis reveals how the ongoing preoccupation with race not only obscures but also prevents the evolution of new ways of understanding privilege and subordination.
We dream of a better world. The fundamental promise of education, the author argues, is to develop the capacity to make real, in our will and desire, this possibility. However, the dream can be fully realised only when the learnt prejudices and false certainties of race, gender and indeed all our unproblematised conceits about who and what we are, are unlearnt. Written by one of South Africas foremost theorists of school education, this book is as brave as it is challenging an inspiring, essential read for education practitioners and students in particular, and social theorists more broadly.

Racial Redress & Citizenship in South Africa
Kristina Bentley, Adam Habib (eds)
South Africa's democratic experiment is confronted with a central political dilemma: how to advance redress and address historical injustices while building a single national identity. This issue lies at the heart of many heated debates over issues such as economic policy, affirmative action, and skills shortages. Government has opted for racially defined redress while many of its critics recommend class as a more appropriate organising principle.
South African Social Attitudes
Changing Times, Diverse Voices
Udesh Pillay, Benjamin Roberts, Stephen Rule (eds)
A countrys attitudinal profile is as much a part of its social reality as are its demographic make-up, its culture and its distinctive social patterns. It helps to provide a nuanced picture of a countrys circumstances, its continuities and changes, its democratic health, and how it feels to live there. It also helps to measure the countrys progress towards the achievement of its economic, social and political goals, based on the measurement of both objective and subjective realities.

While you may have enjoyed that kitchen island or dividing wall, it may be pose an obstacle for homebuyers, especially those with a family. Consider removing that kitchen island or knocking out a nonstructural wall to increase space in the kitchen or living room. Larger rooms will appeal to young families with children and to those older couples who may have a great deal of furniture. If the kitchen island is mobile, you may want to consider moving it out of side during showings.
Many realtors report that their clients are so concerned with making the interior presentable that they often neglect the exterior. It's too bad, because well-kept shrubbery, gardens, and trees can add significant value to the home. A recent survey of 2,000 brokers found that an investment of $400 to $500 for landscaping quadrupled home values. Realtors also agree that a poorly maintained exterior can chase away prospective buyers. They can't see important details of the home, because shrubbery or grass is overgrown, and they may be concerned that the unkempt foliage is promoting the growth of mold.
Consider installing a spa like those from Aqua Rec, a company that specializes in hot tubs in Woodinville, if you have the extra space. Even portable hot tubs can add a feeling of luxury and give prospective homebuyers a thrill at the thought of slipping into the soothing waters after an exhausting day. This is a great way to add value to your home and to make your property one of the most memorable houses that busy homebuyers have toured. It's sure to make a lasting impression.
There are a few things sellers can do to add quality to the lighting in their home. One inexpensive modification is to replace regular switches with dimmer dials. This allows people to set the mood with a slight change in lighting levels, which homebuyers may find appealing.
Another option to consider is sky lighting, or the newly popular sun tubes, which uses reflective lenses to filter sunlight or moonlight into a room. A globe-capped hole in the roof lets the light in, while the tubes direct it toward individual rooms. By installing ways to increase natural lighting, you'll be giving homebuyers the added advantage of lower electric bills.
Making extensive renovations can be costly and defeat the purpose of trying to increase your profit on the sale of the home, but you should make simple repairs. Doing small things, like changing the shower stall's frosted glass door to clear glass and regrouting tiles, can have a positive effect on the room's overall appearance. Install new doorknobs, cabinet handles, and faucets to give a better impression to homebuyers.
There are many inexpensive fixes you can do to spruce up your home and add to its value. By making modest improvements, such as those included here, you can improve the chances of the property selling sooner and at a better than expected price. Sometimes, simple upkeep can do more to boost the value of your home than expensive and intensive renovations.

Your Newest Game of Thrones-Like Winter Storm Is Here
With an ice-storm already cutting off power to thousands in the South, a civil emergency in Georgia and South Carolina, and another snow storm brewing in the North, it's really just time for all of us to band together and become Californians.
Alexander Abad-Santos
With an ice-storm already cutting off power to thousands in the South, a civil emergency in Georgia and South Carolina, and another blizzard brewing in the North, it's really just time for all Americans to band together and move to California. Together, we can make San Diego great. All of us. If we moved to San Diego, we could live better lives free from power outages, ice storms, and wet socks.
All kidding aside, the ice storm that Southern states are facing is expected to be horrendous — worse even the freeze that shut down Atlanta last month. Slate's Eric Holthaus, our encyclopedic weather boyfriend, explained that "last month's crippling storm was just a teaser for what's to come." The most worrisome factor of the ice storm are the power outages which are predicted to be vast and wide:
Millions under threat of possible power outages in wake of Winter Storm #Pax #snow #ice pic.twitter.com/OmpMWgEMbP
— The Weather Channel (@weatherchannel) February 11, 2014
In fact, the outages have already begun in Georgia. "Just before 5 a.m., the number of customers in the dark was 2,000. That number climbed to more than 20,000 by 7:30 a.m.," the Weather Channel reported.
Those outages could last for days, the AP reports. Meteorologists say that this storm is on par with a massive ice storm in 2000 which left 500,000 homes and businesses without power and another one from 1973. "In 2000, damage estimates topped $35 million" the AP reports. President Obama has already declared a state of emergency in Georgia.
Up north, the forecast calls for snow. A lot of it. At least six inches of snow, is expected to accumulate along the Mid-Atlantic with some regions getting more than a foot by tomorrow night or Friday morning.
NWS in NYC has greatly boosted snow totals for the impending storm this morning: pic.twitter.com/eJz3BiPyeJ
— Eric Holthaus (@EricHolthaus) February 12, 2014
With that dusting, New York City will far exceed its snow average for the year. Ahead of the storm, the city has seen 41.5 inches of snow since Oct. 1, around double its yearly winter average.
Oh, and travel? Forget about it. Thousands of flights into and out of East Coast and Southeast airports are already canceled, with many more expected to follow.

The importance of ensuring the legal work for property transactions is carried out to the highest quality has been illustrated recently with the prosecution of a law firm who didn't take their responsibilities seriously enough.
The solicitor, who will not mention by name, had overlooked indicators of money laundering and accepted he had been 'sloppy' when he appeared at the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal, where he was fined £7,500.
This man has now had to deal with the shame amongst his fellow professionals as the news has been published in the legal media. It has been a sobering experience.
However, what is possibly more alarming is whilst this fellow member of the legal profession has been brought to book, there are many working in conveyancing that do not face such standards, because they are not solicitors.
When buying property, which is the one of the most expensive acquisition many people will ever make, the conveyancing cannot be left to chance. It has to be right or the repercussions are great.
Here at Pindoria Solicitors, as well as other experienced conveyancing professionals we are acutely aware of our duty to clients and take all actions to ensure that every aspect of our conveyancing duties are to the highest standard and this obviously includes security.
Good London conveyancing firms like Pindoria Solicitors do all in their power to protect their clients, whilst also being aware that we have standards to meet to protect our professional reputation.
The Solicitors Regulation Authority, as the regulator for all legal matter is doing its utmost to help its members stay as aware as possible of money-laundering issues, cybercrime etc and focuses on our profession and training.
The best conveyancing law firms have a serious approach to all transactions.
It is worth reminding our clients and the general public of our duties to them. After all, whether it is London conveyancing firms or elsewhere in the UK it makes good sense for the public to work with solicitors with a proven track record in conveyancing. Such firms will be so much more aware of the risks.
The best law firms minimise risk to clients and their own reputation as much as it is possible. At Pindoria, we never cut corners.
It's a dangerous world and legal matters cannot be 'sloppy.' All of us must avoid complacency to stay ahead of criminals. The importance of quality conveyancing has never been so paramount.

Canisp is a rocky hill elongated SE to NW. SE of the summit there is a broad ridge forming a long slow ramp offering a very easy ascent. NW of the summit the ridge is narrow and steep and the flanks of Canisp are steep and rocky.
Due to the location of the nearest road (A837) and a footbridge over the River Loanan at Loch Awe, the SE ridge is the obvious ascent route, but a longer approach is possible from Lochinver to the NW.

Post a few words about Canisp or read what others have had to say.
Lovely day on Canisp. Spectacular views of Suilven throughout and quite well defined stalker's paths on most of the route. One river bed was completely dry with the other only being a trickle. Parked in the furthest north of the 2 parking places mentionned above. I was parked behind a campervan that had MunroMagic.com stickers in the window of the backdoor, was it you?
There are two seperate parking spaces at the head of Loch Awe about 500 yards apart. Initially there is a path but this soon disappears, however the ridge is very broad and one can take their own line towards the summit. Initially the terrain is very wet but becomes drier further up. Very good route.

Kingdom of Eswatini (formerly Swaziland) Snapshot
The new prime minister of the Kingdom of Eswatini (formerly Swaziland) has been quick to announce a raft of austerity measures and a fight against corruption in the economically-depressed country.
Prime minister Ambrose Dlamini, formerly the head of MTN's operations in the country, was appointed by King Mswati in late October, soon after September elections, where political parties are not allowed. Dlamini's appointment was followed by the appointment of six royal family members to the House of Assembly and eight to the Senate, according to reports.
Dlamini announced he is putting an end to first class air travel and allowances for senior officials, reconsidering whether these trips are necessary, ending the use of tendering for government contracts and putting a moratorium on raising electricity tariffs, among other measures.
He would "implement major interim fiscal decisions to enhance financial prudence and controls so as to spend as little money as possible," and was working on an economic recovery plan with the appointment of committees to look at government expenditure, revenue and capital expenditure policies, the development of capital projects and developing and implementing a policy of zero tolerance of corruption in government.
Dlamini's biggest challenge, commentators say, will be reining in on the king, who is responsible for much of the country's spending. The king, who is reported to have 13 palaces and fleets of cars, recently bought his second private jet, and spent more than double its cost on upgrades.
The Swaziland Solidarity Network said recently that Mswati was set to increase Tibiyo's shares in the country's corporations to 62% from 50%.
The network said Tibiyo, Eswatini's largest investment institution owning half of almost all major corporations, was initiated as a trust fund to empower Swazis, but "has since turned into a Royal Piggy bank".
The Kingdom of Eswatini has a tiny economy, and with its currency linked to the rand, no control over monetary policy, according to the CIA World Factbook.
The World Bank said economic growth is estimated to have declined to 1.9% in 2017 from 3.2% in 2016, due to the slow recovery in agriculture and mounting fiscal challenges. GDP is expected to contract by 0.6% in 2018.
The country depends on South Africa for 60% of its exports and for more than 90% of its imports, the CIA reports. Its government depends on declining customs duties from the Southern African Customs Union for almost half of revenue.
The CIA reports that manufacturing has hardly grown in the last decade. Sugar and soft drink concentrate are its largest foreign exchange earners, while mining has declined in importance.

There should be more QC on our TV
1 December 2010 by Adam Wagner
When the UK supreme court opened for business just over a year ago one of its most exciting innovations was that, for the first time in the UK, hearings would be filmed and recordings made available to broadcasters.
The change followed 20 years of campaigning and preparation, and was heralded as a turning point in the history of our legal system.
So, one year on, are our TV schedules flooded with live feeds of cases of great social importance? Hardly. In fact, Baroness Hale, one of the court's 11 justices, recently said that although the recordings are available to the media upon request, "they don't often ask."
This is a great shame, and in my view represents a failure of imagination on the part of broadcasters and the court, rather than a lack of interesting material.
Why the cold shoulder from broadcasters? The usual explanation is that supreme court hearings are too boring. Unlike the Crown Court, where high-profile criminal cases are heard – along with exciting cross examinations and grandstanding barristers – the supreme court is a court of appeal, which means that cases usually involve technical legal argument, using conceptual language and presented in a rather spare advocacy style. There are no witnesses and, as Baroness Hale said, "no drama".
Admittedly, some cases which come before the supreme court can seem a bit dry, and whilst they may be of great importance and interest to the litigants and lawyers, are unlikely to capture the public interest. But many would. To pick just a few from the court's first year, the Jewish Free School case went to the heart of what it is to be a Jew, the R (Smith) case decided that the human rights act did not apply on an Iraqi battlefield and the Radmacher judgment gave new prominence in English law to pre-nuptial agreements.
There are more interesting cases, and many – particularly those involving the Human Rights Act – are of wide social and political importance, meaning that the principles of the decisions need to be widely disseminated and explained. There is no reason why this could not be done via our TV sets or computers. The equipment is in place, the feeds are available, all that is needed now is some imagination
The argument that the advocacy style is too boring is defeatist. Whilst some legal arguments are often technical and difficult, this can be remedied by good editing and commentary. Anyone who listens to the Today program or watches Newsnight will see the same issues being debated every day in an entertaining style. And some Queen's Counsel are fantastic speakers whose arguments would make for good TV given the right editor.
Things may slowly be changing. The court's judgment in Radmacher (the pre-nup case) was broadcast on the BBC News website, and part of the opening argument in the expenses scandal parliamentary privilege appeal is also available online. But these represent the exception, not the rule.
This could be remedied fairly easily. All of the hearings are already being digitally recorded at great expense; why not make the raw footage more widely available via the court's website or Youtube, if not live then shortly after the hearings? It is unlikely that the general public would trawl through hours of argument to find the interesting parts, but given the proliferation of well-informed legal bloggers, the indexing and editing of hearings could be 'crowdsourced'. In other words, there are plenty of people with enough technological and legal savvy to find innovative ways to present the footage, if it was made more widely available. This is effectively what has happened with court judgments since they have been made freely available via the Bailii website.
There would be many benefits to this approach. With legal aid disappearing due to budget cuts, people who are forced to represent themselves would have a greater insight into the UK courts. Law students could be given master-classes on advocacy without having to enter a court room. The great advocates of today could be recorded for posterity. Most importantly, the justice system would be more transparent and accessible, which was the point of the reforms in the first place.
Ultimately, justice will only be seen to be done in the true sense if more courts are opened to TV cameras, not just the supreme court. But until that time, our highest court could be doing more to put the nation's QC on our TV.
Justice's hidden backbone – a tribute to BAILII
E-disclosure rules finally enter the 1990s
Why the Sharon Shoesmith decision is good for access to justice (and it has nothing to do with the case)
Adam Wagner says:
@M – apologies, that link should now be working
Unfortunately the link to the on-line opening speech in the MPs expenses case posted above doesn't seem to be working (perhaps the video is no-longer available on that website). Do you know where else I may find it?
I'm in FULL agreement with your article – As a Bar student, being able to access this level of advocacy either on-line or via the TV would be an invaluable learning tool – it is after all what we are all aspiring towards!
We have BBC Parliament. Why not BBC Supreme Court or BBC Justice (or whatever you want to call it)?
And when the court is not in session, there could be documentaries exploring historical cases, explaining how the law works, interviews of lawyers, judges etc, or even panel discussions of various legal issues affecting Britain today. For instance, if an asylum case was making the news, they could discuss asylum law. Or right now they could be discussing whistleblowing, leaks, diplomacy and official secrets since Wikileaks is making headlines again.
This is, after all, what the BBC is supposed to be for.
However, I'm not sure about allowing cameras into criminal trials – what about people's privacy?

Q: get removable sd card path in android How can i get extSdcard path in android?
There are 2 storage, first external storage in which all the phones have it but there is second storage which is called removable storage (micro sdcard).
I want to get the path to the micro sdcard in android, how is that possible?

A: Starting from KitKat, you have access to a method to get that directory :
Context.getExternalFilesDirs()

Note that it may return null if the SD card is not mounted or moved during the access. Also, you might need to add these permissions to your manifest file :
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />

Apparently some users had trouble with this method, not returning the SD card path. I found some useful informations on how it can works and how it can not depending on the device on this post.

A: Check this https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/data/data-storage.html#filesExternal for complete reference as you need to define permission to read and write to the external SD also there is code in the above link which checks if SD card is available before performing any action

A: The following works for me!
File[] Dirs = ContextCompat.getExternalFilesDirs(this.getApplicationContext(), null);
File path = (Dirs[1]);
String pathSD = Dirs[1].toString();
int firstOpen = pathSD.indexOf("/");
int secondOpen = pathSD.indexOf("/", firstOpen + 1);
int thirdOpen = pathSD.indexOf("/", secondOpen + 1);
String filename = pathSD.substring(firstOpen, thirdOpen + 1);
path = new File(filename);

A: As of API level 24, you can use the StorageManager class:

I also got to speak to The Z List Dead List quack doctor expert Caroline Rance again... and I found out about a hideous hangover cure involving drinking cold clam water. I'm towards the end of the episode but it is well worth a listen. Next week I'll be talking to Naomi Paxton about Jiu Jitsu suffragettes.
If that doesn't make your guts churn (the clam water, not Naomi), I've been researching other historic recipes. Mainly because having a wicked step mother who is Muslim means I was stuck in an Xmas queue at the local Halal butchers, where I spied a cabinet of offal that peaked my curiosity. So a combination of a then upcoming New Years dinner party, some new knowledge and a daft impulse buy, it resulted in a bit of experimental cookery... There is a rather excellent website called medievalcookery.com where I found the best named recipe in history. Ladies and Gentlemen and small furry creatures: I give you Garbage!
The whole thing was not only fun to do was but also a tiny way to imagine how our ancestors lived... I mean not so much the cooking - but the taste. It is strange making stews without dashing a bit of Worcester Sauce or tomato paste... and eating them without potatoes... so familiar yet so alien.
It is also worth remembering that this recipe, despite its jokey name... is also a rich recipe. A pinch of saffron is rather an expensive ingredient today. In 15th Century England it would have been reserved for the rich, just as most spice including salt and pepper. I shall endeavour to make more homely meals in the upcoming weeks as well as put out a couple of Z List Dead List episodes and a Membercast lecture all about Gods... and living with them.
If you have any suggestions for recipes to try, or indeed to challenge me with - let me know by writing a comment below!

Letter: Give members say or witness decimation by Brexit Party
|By Comment Central
Tory grassroots chief, Bob Perry, writes to Tory MPs stressing the total collapse in trust among the Tory membership and urging MPs not to prevent Brexit leadership candidates from making final two or risk dire consequences from Brexit Party threat.
Dear Members of Parliament,
Following the European Parliamentary elections, I urge you to consider the implications of some of the worst results in the history of the Conservative Party when selecting a successor to Theresa May.
As the Party of Government, we were mandated to deliver Brexit almost three years ago and as yet we have failed to come anywhere close.
Our Government has failed the 17.4 million British people who voted to leave the EU and if we continue down this path, this great party will be unelectable for generations to come.
There are rumours in Westminster that some Conservative MPs are plotting to prevent a pro-Brexit candidate, such as Boris Johnson, from becoming our next leader. Grassroots conservatives are already incensed by the lack of democracy which currently exists within the Party and will not tolerate, nor forgive a stitch up that ensures two pro-Remain candidates are chosen.
The Party membership must be given the opportunity to decide whether they want to support a candidate who is willing to leave the EU under WTO rules.
The public has sent the Conservative Party a very clear message: Britain must leave the EU on October 31st. Either the Party has a Leader who can deliver this or voters will look elsewhere – almost certainly to the thriving Brexit Party.
For the last three years the Conservative Government, aided by many willing Conservative backbenchers, has delayed, frustrated and watered down Britain's exit from the EU. In the eyes of the Tory membership, Conservative parliamentarians are in the last chance saloon. I implore you to stop plotting to engineer the leadership result and concentrate on selecting a candidate who will deliver the democratic result of the referendum. This is the only way to restore trust in our damaged Party.

They say there is always another side to any story. Usually we like our side the most. Everything just sounds so much better from our perspective. Of course we have all the right facts and we know what really happened. However, our side is, well... just our side. We experience life from within our own skin. We see things through our own eyes. Of course, the vey next question must be - is there any other way? Is it really possible to experience life separate from our own subjective feelings, emotions, thoughts and ideas? I think so. I even think followers of Jesus are obliged to think, hear, sense and feel the Other Side of the story.
Paul tells us in 2 Corinthians 10 that we have to take our thoughts captive and submit them to Christ. We cannot give our thoughts free reign. Our opinions are not exclusively ours to form and cherish. We need the mind of Christ as the apostle also tells us in Philippians 2:5. In order for this to happen we need to see the world and others through the eyes of Jesus. We need to buy the right eye salve from him as he instructs us in Revelation 3. We also need a new heart in our chest, one that beats with love for God and compassion for others. And we need new hands and feet that will constantly transport us in the direction of those who are different from us- the lowly, the outcasts and the downtrodden. Only then will we be able to cross the unbridgeable gap between ourselves and God and towards the right side of the story. Only Christ can teach us the correct perspective. Only he can open our eyes to see.
There is another side to all of life's stories, the real one. There is God's side. Only he has the true perspective. Only he can teach us to see, hear and experience life in fresh new ways.

I want to transfer my Mothers paid off home to me. How is this done? Will I have to pay some kind of income tax? Should I use a real estate agent or attorney? Would a quit claim deed work for this senerio?
The transfer of property from one person to another is typically done with a deed. There are different kinds of deeds. The decision of which type of deed that will accomplish your and your mother's objectives is best left up to a real estate attorney familiar with the laws of the state in which the property is located.
Quit claim deeds are typically used to make it explicit that a particular person does not have an interest in a property. So if your mother's objective is to say that she doesn't have an interest in a property that you do have an interest in it might be the appropriate instrument. If you don't already have an interest in the property then a quit claim deed may or may not transfer her interest to you. Again it depends upon the state in which the property is located. Contact a local title company. They can direct you to a real estate attorney that can answer these questions and prepare and file the correct instruments to accomplish your objectives. It is all relatively inexpensive and there is no excuse for not getting competent advice on a matter as important as this.
Regarding the tax consequences of this type of transaction. First there is no income tax due on the sale or transfer of real property. Your mother could owe capital gains tax on the sale of her property and in some jurisdictions tax on the transfer of property. Capital gains tax due would depend on what she paid for the property; how much she sold it for; whether and how much any improvements she made to the property cost; and most importantly whether she has lived in the home as her primary residence. These tax issues can be very complicated. Again it is relatively inexpensive to get advice from a CPA on the tax consequences of the sale or transfer of your mother's property. If she gifts you the property then there could be issues of gift or estate tax. This will probably not be a problem unless your mother has a very large estate. You may owe capital gains tax when you sell the property. How much again depends on the factors mentioned above and your basis in the property and whether you were using the property as your primary residence. It is in your best interest to find out the answer to these questions from a CPA or other competent tax adviser familiar with your specific situation before your mother transfers the property to you. Then you don't have to worry about nasty surprises that could have been avoided.

Q: Rollback Spring transaction on return value Although the following example will be written in Kotlin syntax, the question is not Kotlin specific and could be also implemented in Java in a similar fashion.
Assume we have an entity called Person which persists person data such as firstname, lastname, username. Now assume we have a PersonService and we want a function to update the username. A naive and perfectly-fine approach would be the following:
@Transactional
fun updateUsername(id: UUID, username: String): Person? {
    return personRepository.findByIdentityId(id)
        ?: throw NotFoundException()
        .apply { this.userName = username }
        .let { personRepository.save(it) }
}

Note the @Transactional annotation to wrap the database operations performed by the personRepository in a database transaction which will rollback if any Exception occurred in our code, such as the NotFoundException if we cannot find a record with the corresponding id in the database.
Now comes my problem: I want to rewrite this function in a more functional way instead of throwing exceptions. In this regard, I use the Either (https://arrow-kt.io/docs/apidocs/arrow-core/arrow.core/-either) type of the arrow library (https://arrow-kt.io/docs/patterns/error_handling) to indicate success or failure. Let's look at the updated method signature (the function code does not matter for the question).
@Transactional
fun updateUsername(id: UUID, username: String): Either<NotFoundException, Person>

So instead of my function throwing an NotFoundException where consumers have to know about by looking into the body of the function, we explicitly tell the consumer what could go wrong and they are forced to handle the response in some way. Obviously now we get a problem with Spring declarative transaction management which relies on my code to throw exceptions if something went wrong so it can rollback the transaction.
Therefore my question is: Is there a way to somehow interfere the transaction at it's very end and check if the return value is of type Either.Left (indicating failure) and then marking the transaction as rollbackOnly? I wrapped my head around Spring transaction management but could not find a way to do so. If there is no way to interfere a transaction right before it returns the value of the annotated invoked method, maybe a solution could be to provide a custom annotation like @EitherTransactional?
Important:
If you got confused by the functional programming stuff or the arrow library cited above, here is another very simplistic demonstration of my question.
@Transactional
fun rollbackForReturnValue(): String {
    // do some database updates
    return "failure"
}

I want to rollback the transaction if the return value equals "failure" like in the example. How would you achieve that behavior? Is is possible to intercept the transaction right before the return value will be returned to the invoking consumer?

Papa Roach- Who Do You Trust? Review
By MD | November 22, 2019
One of the standout bands from the early-to-mid-2000s, Papa Roach has been consistently putting out new material since their platinum-and-gold glory days of Infest, Lovehatetragedy and Getting Away With Murder. The sales figures of recent albums may not be the same as before, but ultimately it's the quality that counts- with that being said, the critical reception on the records The Connection, F.E.A.R and Crooked Teeth has been more lacklustre than plaque-buster, garnering mixed reviews and leading one to question whether their creative spark still remains or has been, for lack of a better term fumigated out of existence by an ever-changing musical landscape.
Who Do You Trust? is Papa Roach's latest LP release, and far from coming off dated in the world of post-aughts rock is perfectly aligned with it without sacrificing the band's auditory identity. The album's opener "The Ending" incorporates synthwave-esque aesthetics with Jacoby Shaddix's rap-scream-sing synthesis to make a fresh hybrid rock tune that could pass as revised Linkin Park for the uninitiated. "Renegade Music" treads more into the lane of the newly-reunited Rage Against The Machine, though its battle cries for the listener to "take back your life right now" and that "nothing changes until the people get loud", if they are intended as political or social statements are far more vague and superficial than the explicitly leftist declarations of Zack De La Rocha and co.- furthermore, the screamed MF-bomb at the end in identical fashion to the one on "Killing In The Name" makes the whole track seem extra as fuck.
Starting acoustically and building into an active, exciting metro groove, "Not The Only One" sheds the electronic predominance of the first two tracks for refreshing straight-ahead instrumentation leading into a Royal Blood-style bass drop chorus guaranteed to snap a couple of necks. "Who Do You Trust?" sounds rightfully paranoid and manic in the context of an increasingly untrusting world, asking who will be there to reliably turn to "when the molotov drops." Just as the identity of a current-year Papa Roach has been established in the consciousness of listeners, "Elevate" turns up the trap beats and orchestral hits and goes flat-out into Imagine Dragons territory. It runs the risk of musical ego-death, where being lost in the sauce of mainstream sensibilities the band's sense of self would be lost, but nevertheless suffices as a song and single and is narrowly identifiable enough to discern them from younger contemporaries.
"Come Around" laces standard Papa Roach with elements of EDM, once again straddling the line between Billboard and the discernible realm of the Roach. In comparison to "Elevate" however, there is far more clarity and authenticity attached to "Come Around" on account of its not relying heavily on timely pastiche as an attempt towards continuing relevance. "Feel Like Home" follows in similar relevant fashion, while "Problems" edges closer to Hot 100 assimilation with familiar hip-hop snaps and electronic drums. "Top Of The World" accelerates down this path to its logical destination, which is a full, synth-immersed blurring of the lines between rock and rap. Ever since "Last Resort" shot onto the airwaves, Papa Roach's experimentation with hip hop has been an integral component of their sound. Now, it almost threatens to be their entire sound with tracks like these if they're not careful. It certainly isn't to knock the track, which is certainly forward-thinking and motivational, but just to provide a word of caution to not get too caught up to where they (and their fans) forget who they are.
Perhaps such a reaction was anticipated, as the following track "I Suffer Well" is a high-octane punk interlude sharply contrasted to the digital exploration that preceded it. Nevertheless, it does feel out of place with a majority of Who Do You Trust?'s content and for that reason alone could have been done without. Venturing back into the land of the contemporary, "Maniac" starts as a trippy, pop-punkish number revolving around Shaddix questioning his sanity and mental health- the latter topic being one of longtime importance to Papa Roach. It unfortunately uncouples near the end with Shaddix belting out a pair of tortured emo screams after dishing out that "I've been living in my anxiety", which slapped up against the instrumental background of this song sounds utterly incongruent. "Better Than Life" closes out the album, and in contrast to the inconsistency of the last few tracks is a strong, sensical finish comparable to the LP's opening numbers. Any previous detours are now channelled into a streamlined, straight-ahead sound, a direction that should have been taken the whole record through but nevertheless rounds things off in a fine and adequate way.
Who Do You Trust? demonstrates that Papa Roach has the brass to take risks in stretching their sound for their times, and that given current genre-blending sensibilities they were ahead of their time when they first began. With that said, the album has a tendency as a result of this approach to spiral off into directions that don't match up with each other as a cohesive full-length release, or worse, don't make sense at all. Ideally whatever they release next will be more focused, more clear, more Papa Roach than ever before- whatever that may entail, as long as it still sounds like them. They didn't cut their career into pieces here, for sure- there are still strong moments. Nevertheless there's as much room for improvement here as there is for experimentation, and the fans can only trust that they will follow up and deliver.

Looking back at the old version of the Spider-Man trilogy, it may not be a bad thing not to have a fourth
October 7, 2021 September 27, 2021 0
The "Spider-Man" series of films were adapted from Marvel Comics, and the trilogy was released in 2002, 2004 and 2007.
The series is directed by Sam Raimi, with Tobey Maguire playing Spider-Man Peter Parker and Kirsten Dunst playing the heroine Mary Jane.
The box office and reputation of this series are very good, and the global box office revenue is nearly 2.5 billion US dollars.
The first part mainly introduces the origin story of Spider-Man.
During a visit to a science exhibition, Peter, who loves science, was bitten by a genetically mutated spider.
Peter magically acquired the sixth sense of danger that a spider can perceive, and he can also launch a web of slime to quickly climb and leap between high-rise buildings.
After his uncle was unfortunately killed, Peter decided to use superpowers to defend justice.
And Peter's classmate Harry's father, Norman Osborn, unexpectedly also possessed superpowers, became the villain Green Goblin, and took Mary Jane as a hostage.
In the end, Green Goblin was defeated by Spider-Man.
In the second part, Peter had a fierce battle with the new villain, Dr. Otto Octavius, and finally won.
He disclosed his Spider-Man identity to Mary Jane, and the two finally became a couple.
And Peter's friend Harry Osborn, driven by his father's vengeance, gradually distorted his personality and became the second generation of Green Goblin.
The third Spider-Man faces Sandman and Venom at the same time.
When Peter learned that Sandman was related to the murderer who killed his uncle, he even had the idea of revenge and vowed to arrest Sandman as soon as possible.
And the venom parasitic on Spider-Man, making his character become irritable.
However, Peter defeated them one by one, and learned the truth of his uncle's death from Sandman.
Sandman has since changed his evil spirits and left alone.
According to the original plan, after the completion of these three films, there will be a fourth or even fifth to continue to be released.
However, since the third part, director Sam Raimi and the production company have disagreements.
Initially, Venom was not in the shooting plan for Spider-Man 3.
The "Spider-Man 3" story originally conceived by the Raimi brothers revolves around Peter, Mary Jane and Harry Osborn, with Sandman and Vulture teaming up as villains.
According to reports, Ben Kingsley will play Vulture.
But Sony's producer Avi Arad insisted on joining the venom.
Since the 1990s, venom has shined in popular culture, frequently appearing in comic plots and adapted animations.
Sam Raimi is difficult to accept, because he is only interested in the early classic Spider-Man characters.
But in the end, he complied with the producer's request and forcibly added the venom.
Not only that, Arad also asked to join another lover of Spider-Man, Gwen Stacey.
So Stacy, played by Bryce Dallas Howard, was also rashly added to Spider-Man 3.
The difference in ideas between the director and the producer has caused the overall level of "Spider-Man 3" to be greatly reduced, and the reviews are not as good as the previous two.
When the fourth film was made, this contradiction still existed, and the producers tried to add a large number of villains to the film to attract the audience.
In the end, the two sides completely parted ways. Sony also gave up the fourth film and directly restarted the filming of "The Amazing Spider-Man."

…And That's it for 2015!
shut up and sit down is now four years old, which of you is paying for kindergarten

Quinns: It's that time again! With a magnanimous gesture to the orchestra pit and deep bow to our incredible Gold Club members sat in the balconies, SU&SD exits stage left, pursued by a pear.
If you enjoyed literally anything we did this year, don't thank us. Thank the people who support SU&SD's ad-free status with donations and make our work possible. Or better yet, join the Gold Club yourself with that big button on the right! Every dollar makes a difference, and guarantees a uniquely British encounter if you meet us at a convention as we thank you profusely without managing any eye contact.
Following in the tradition of 2014's roundup, after the jump you can enjoy a look back on the best, brightest and silliest work we did this year. Also, a tease of what to look forward to in 2016!
Similar to how we kicked off 2014 with a trip to a space ship simulator in a caravan, we began 2015 with our Out of Dodge review, a game that turns four chairs into a car. Apparently SU&SD comes out of hibernation very confused indeed.
Back when Cosmic Encounter was the site's collective favourite game I was always reading gossip (on the INTERNET, no less) that we were wrong, and that it wasn't any fun at all. It was hugely satisfying to fix this with a Cosmic Encounter Let's Play that demonstrated just how fun this game of weird aliens and crepe paper alliances can be. "You're supposed to TALK?!" I saw one commenter say. Yes, you are!
Last year I singled out our X-Wing review as the video review I was most proud of. This year that honour goes to Matt and my belated look at Last Will. I can take or leave the game, but the video came together beautifully. T.I.M.E. Stories takes a close second place.
Back in February Pip had the idea of an article collating all of our experiences ofbeing betrayed in board games. I've never commissioned anything so quickly in my life.
Brendan describing learning chess in Rooky Errors and also his piece on Dumb Games obviously. And just as obviously…
Paul's article on attending a poker tournament. The nicest man becomes the darkest horse.
Then there's mine and Leigh's article on placing unexpectedly high in the UK Netrunner Nationals and Chris Thursten's piece on his first X-Wing tournament. This was SU&SD's best year for long-form journalism, no doubt about it.
SU&SD returned as the nation of Japan in the (even more mega!) sequel to last year's Megagame. Come for Matt's amusing, permanent presidential panic, stay for the heartbreack of Tokyo getting wiped off the map*.
Our Cards Against Humanity review was a memorable day, and not just because we were proud to publish it and it was our first time working with an illustrator (and what an illustrator). Taken as a whole last week's Top 50 might have produced more traffic, but the CAH review is the most visited post this site's ever produced.
To celebrate our 100th video I wrote some tips on how to join the ranks of the board game press. I've just checked and they're not outdated (yet)!
On the subject, I was so happy this year when we took on Eric Tonjes as a miniatures game correspondent. For anyone wondering, he got his paid gig by writing into SU&SD with perfect copywriting that filled a gap in the site's remit. Eric writes with passion, humour and an in-depth knowledge of his subject.
Ooh, this got heavy all of a sudden! Let's all watch the opening minute of the Spyfall review and basically all of Matt's Imperial Assault review. We have to find another home for that hologram plugin in 2016.
Hilary Mcnaughton joined us as our RPG columnist, and now I'm trying to figure out if I can find the time to play the Burning Wheel next year. It's kind of annoying. Is this what you guys feel like when we do board game reviews?
Oh my god, the second Gen Con special. Oh my god. I remember almost crying when I was editing the end of this. I heard that Origin's better for actually playing games, but Gen Con remains the Disneyland of the tabletop scene.
The best photography of the year was achieved in the Samurai review. If only we could shoot all our reviews in a sunny garden!
SU&SD's Captain Planet-like heart was showcased during my Top 5 Tips for Problem Players. Spoiler: It's not about trying to make your friends act differently.
We got our first exclusive preview in this podcast featuring Star Wars: Rebellion! I'm thrilled to say that you can expect more previews (and more Rebellion coverage) next year.
As for what to expect in 2016?
Matt, Paul and myself are all agreed that this year SU&SD drifted a little closer to traditional games coverage. It's only natural- reviews, previews and reports of tournaments or events give us reliable traffic and a happy audience. But there are plenty of other sites that do that, and besides, it was never our aim. When we founded SU&SD it was to get people into board games by showing them what was beautiful about it, and entertaining them along the way.
To that end we're nicknaming 2016 the Good Fun Annum. The plan is to offer a little less inside baseball for enthusiasts and focus more on stuff everyone can enjoy. More videos (like the Megagame!) that you can share with your friends who don't play many games,but totally should.
So, more coverage of the games we love, less of those we don't. More of our passion and sense of humour, and less being distracted by our new knowledge of the board game industry.
None of you guys read SU&SD to hear us argue about the best Friedemann Friese game, you know? We'll never be as good at that as the established gurus. Instead, we're going to double down on what makes us different. A renewed focus on "Look at this, this is beautiful, here's how you can get involved."
I haven't forgotten my promise. 2016 is the the year that I fall in an authentic London canal.
Enjoy the holidays, everyone. Merry Christmas.

Stress & Focus: An X-Wing Tournament Diary


The WCS superintendent will seek an exemption from a state measure that equally weights Advanced Placement and career and technical education courses.
Williamson County Schools is seeking an exemption from a newly enacted state law that weights career and technical education courses identical to Advanced Placement courses in the district's GPA structure.
WCS Superintendent Dr. Mike Looney is adamant that the law – which he says is designed to help rural counties with limited AP courses – is not beneficial to students in his high-achieving district, many of whom will go on to attend a four-year college.
Essentially, WCS high school students will get the same quality points for taking CTE or AP courses.
"AP courses provide them with the rigor they need to be highly successful at the universities they go to," Looney said. "If they get certified in hair dressing and get the same quality points they would get in advanced AP chemistry class, that doesn't make sense to me."
Looney said 70 percent of WCS students take AP and International Baccalaureate courses.
He stressed that he supports the district's CTE programs, but believed the measure could pull students away from challenging AP courses.
"It's the path of least resistance, and we don't want them to go down that road," Looney said.
On Monday night, the Williamson County school board approved Looney's pursuit of the waiver from Tennessee Education Commissioner Candice McQueen.
"The weighting that we are requesting seems very appropriate for our student population," WCS school board member Nancy Garrett said.
The measure, which went into effect July 1, amended Tennessee's Uniform Grading System for students 9-12 to require one quality point to be added to the number the student has earned for both honors or national industry certifications courses (which encompass many CTE courses).
The bill, SB2314, "revises present law to include national industry certification, statewide dual credit, AP, Cambridge, IB and dual enrollment courses under the umbrella of 'honors and early postsecondary courses.'"
School boards set standards for grading and report cards, and in WCS, the measure gives CTE and AP courses 1.0 quality points in the GPA structure.
WCS administrative staff concluded that the change would "inhibit the district's ability to meet its goals and to comply with its mission statement" of being nationally competitive in its academics.
"This is an attempt to take local control over education standards," Looney said.
If the waiver is denied by McQueen, Looney said the district will pursue legislative relief when the state General Assembly convenes in January.


UK: The new creation is the result of a collaboration with electronic musician and producer Unicorn Kid (pictured), writes David Davies.

UK: The new creation is the result of a collaboration with electronic musician and producer Unicorn Kid (pictured), writes David Davies. Entitled The Lost Hat, the video/game was developed using Popmorphic's patented polymorphic technology, which puts users in control of the viewing process by allowing them to adjust equaliser-style sliders.
The Popmorphic software is based on H.264 and Silverlight video codecs, and has already been used to produce a series of pop promos. The new 'Morphic Media' is said to strike a major blow against film and video piracy because it cannot be copied.
Now, in a significant development for the eponymous Scottish company, the technology has been applied to a game that allows viewers to follow Unicorn Kid (aka Oli Sabin) on a quest to find his stolen 'Lion Hat'. There are more than 300 routes Oli can take to find the errant headwear, but only one is correct. Players must move through three levels and fight in a final battle by moving the game control slider as indicated by the clues in the footage. At the final battle stage, there is a 50/50 chance of winning the game and entering the competition.
The winner - who will receive a cash prize of _1000 and the chance to take part in the making of the next Unicorn Kid morphic video game - will be selected through a prize draw on June 9 during Unicorn Kid's headline show at King Tuts in Glasgow. Entrants must be UK-resident and over 16 to be eligible to win this competition.
"Popmorphic has been in the public domain since September 2008 and we saw this as the perfect opportunity to experiment with what this technology can do and collaborate with an artist who is doing something innovative too," Popmorphic's director of development, Lori Duncan, tells PSN-e. "We filmed Unicorn Kid against green screen at our studio in Glasgow and, during the post-production process, we thought it would really interesting to turn this into a game. As we had the technology and the facility to do that, we pushed the envelope that bit further and created something that had never been done before."
Licensing the technology is a possibility for the future, but for now the company is preoccupied with its own in-house projects, including the first polymorphic feature film that is due to begin principal photography in the next few months.
"We're really only just starting to scratch the surface of what we can do with this technology," concludes Popmorphic chairman Das Abram. "It just keeps getting deeper!"

Q: jQuery focus the input in the next tr -> td when that td contains an input field, but never focus html select I have the following html:

  Name	<input type="text" name="a">

  Address	<input type="text" name="b">

  Type	<select name="c">

  Gender	<input type="text" name="d">

If the user is in input 'a' and presses the tab key, I have it working now that the focus goes to input 'b'. However, once the user tabs while in input 'b', nothing happens. I would like jQuery to skip the select field 'c' and focus input 'd'.
Right now I use this and it works fine but it permits the user to tab the select into focus...instead i want it to ignore the select and try and focus the input in the tr and td after it:
$(this).closest('tr').next().find('input:text').first().focus();

A: You can use -1 in the tab index to remove it from the order.
<select tabindex="-1">

A: In order to traverse all text inputs with TAB key a solution is:

$(function () {
  $(':text').on('keydown', function (e) {
    var keyCode = e.keyCode || e.which;
    if (keyCode == 9) { // on tab go to next input
      // prevent the default action
      e.preventDefault();

      // select the next row containing a text input field (skip select!)
      // and get the first element
      var nextInput = $(e.target).closest('tr').nextAll('tr').filter(function(index, element) {
        return $(element).find(':text').length > 0;
      }).first().find(':text');

      // if next input exists go there, else go to the first one
      if (nextInput.length == 0) {
        $(':text:first').focus();
      } else {
        nextInput.focus();
      }
    }
    return false;
  });

});

        Name
        <input type="text" name="a">

        Adress
        <input type="text" name="b">

        Type
        <select name="c">

Cedar Strip Kits - Suppliers?
Thread: Cedar Strip Kits - Suppliers?
I wonder if you fine folks might be able to point me in the direction of anybody in the UK (or Europe for that matter) that produces complete cedar strip canoe kits?
I'm asking because we have had two inquiries from prospective builders who are looking for an all-in-one the solution but I've yet to land on something. My search has come up with all sorts of camping "kit" (oh the beauty of language), and some panel-built kits but no strip built boats. Yet.
It also begs the question about whether it might not make sense for Ashes to licence a UK vendor/producer.
Cedar Strip http://cedar-strip.co.uk don't currently sell kits, but might be someone interesting to approach if you were looking for a UK licensee. They could definitely help a UK builder who had purchased your plans.
