Agenda

What's changing?

Let's make a theme

Twig basics and debugging

Let's start from the very beginning

What is theming?

Themes allow you to change the look and feel of your Drupal site.

 - Someone who's good at being very general

Why would you use Drupal 8 now?!

					And when is it coming out?

What's changing?

...and how do I, a person who probably doesn't like change, cope with these changes...

What's new in Drupal 8?

Twig, a template engine by SensioLabs

Classy, a new base theme

template.php becomes [theme-name].theme. (Dear Drupal gods, can we please have theme.php?)

							Twig is replacing PHPTemplate is the template engine, meaning no more PHP inside template files.

							Classy

							Maybe we'll finally get theme.php in Drupal 9?

What's new in Drupal 8?

Responsive design elements are included by default

Breakpoints can be set and used across modules and themes

What's new in Drupal 8?

Look at all the pretty things
 we get to use now!!

HTML5

CSS3

Modern jQuery libraries

SMACSS

BEM

Standardized breakpoints

What's new in Drupal 8?

Support for IE8 and below is dropped meaning the use of jQuery 2.0, HTML5, and CSS3 (including pseudo selectors) are now supported

CSS:

Far fewer IDs are used

CSS file structure now uses SMACSS

Default class names follow the BEM format

CSS and JS files are attached to pages differently

What's new in Drupal 8?

For a more comprehensive list, visit Drupal's change log.

Why all the changes?

Accessibility to non-Drupalers

Fewer Drupal-specific conventions and more popular, well-documented frameworks (such as Twig), meaning non-Drupalers can jump in much more quickly.

D8 themers don't need to know PHP to whip up a theme.*

* I mean kinda ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Why all the changes?

Security

Text is automatically escaped in Twig, meaning a lower chance of XSS attacks.

Template files are more secure since they no longer contain PHP code.

<?php db_query('DROP TABLE {users}'); ?>

Scary example courtesy of sqndr at d8.sqndr.com.

Why all the changes?

Current frameworks and tools

Separation of logic from appearance = more modular (reusable) code

More semantic CSS class names = leaner CSS and a more readable DOM

A general trend towards more extendable, modular, well-organized, better-performing code

Any disadvantages?

Many contributed themes and modules don't having their 8.x branches ready.

A fun note on the 8.x branch of a popular contrib theme:

This is a development branch. Please note that this branch is probably severely broken. It is strongly recommended to wait before using this branch or even creating issues regarding it.

Any disadvantages?

Serious lack of documentation online

Of the documentation that DOES exist, much of it is:

Outdated, and marked as such.

Outdated, and NOT marked as such.

Let's build this thing

What am I totally glossing over?

template.php *.theme

Grid framework and CSS architecture

Probably a lot of other things

Create a theme folder

Drupal core now resides in its own folder. Contributed and custom modules and themes are in the modules and themes folders, respectively.

Don't forget to create a custom folder for your custom theme!

Create a .info.yml file

# mappy.info.yml
name: Mappy
type: theme
description: 'D8 Theme for a basic leaflet site.'
core: 8.x
base theme: classy
libraries:
 - mappy/global-styling
 - mappy/leaflet
regions:
  navbar: 'Top Navigation Bar'
  content: Content # required!
  sidebar: 'Sidebar'
  footer: 'Footer'

[theme-name].info becomes [theme-name].info.yml

Dot info dot what?

YAML is a data serialization language.

Key-value pairs.

Check out Symfony's excellent writeup
							on YAML syntax before getting started.

And mind your whitespace!

Create a .info.yml file

# mappy.info.yml
name: Mappy
type: theme
description: 'D8 Theme for a basic leaflet site.'
core: 8.x
regions:
  navbar: 'Top Navigation Bar'
  content: Content # required!
  sidebar: 'Sidebar'
  footer: 'Footer'

This looks familiar, right?

Classy, a new base theme

# mappy.info.yml
base theme: classy

In D8, default classes are stripped from Drupal core and moved into the base theme Classy.

To avoid these default classes, simply don't base your theme on Classy.

But we want them because BEM is awesome! Check out this awesome introduction.

Libraries

# mappy.info.yml
libraries:
 - mappy/global-styling
 - mappy/leaflet

In D8, assets can be added in a few different ways: globally, per-template, per-page, and more.

All libraries must be defined in your *.libraries.yml file.

Create a .libraries.yml file

# mappy.libraries.yml
global-styling:
  css:
    theme:
      css/styles.css: {}

leaflet:
  css:
    theme:
      css/leaflet.css: {}
  js:
    js/leaflet.js: {}
    js/map.js: {}
  dependencies:
    - core/jquery

Note that jQuery is listed as a dependency of the Leaflet library. Since jQuery is no longer loaded automatically on every page, it must be explicitly required.

Adding assets to your site

# mappy.info.yml
libraries:
 - mappy/global-styling
 - mappy/leaflet

Since this is a small site and we need our libraries on every page, we're adding them globally.

Visit drupal.org for more information on methods for adding assets.

Create a .breakpoints.yml file

# mappy.breakpoints.yml
mappy.mobile:
  label: mobile
  mediaQuery: '(min-width: 0px)'
  weight: 2
  multipliers:
    - 1x
mappy.narrow:
  label: narrow
  mediaQuery: 'all and (min-width: 560px) and (max-width: 850px)'
  weight: 1
  multipliers:
    - 1x
mappy.wide:
  label: wide
  mediaQuery: 'all and (min-width: 851px)'
  weight: 0
  multipliers:
    - 1x

Ours is stolen adapted from the Bartik theme.

Breakpoints

Once you add a .breakpoints.yml file (and uninstall and reinstall your theme), the breakpoints you've set will be exposed in the admin UI.

These breakpoints can be used across various modules.

With these files set up, we now have a working custom theme!

Template files

In our theme's current state, we're using Classy's default template files.

If we want to override them, it's time to learn some Twig.

If one more person makes a "Gettin' Twiggy with it" joke...

Intro to Twig

Twig is a template engine with syntax similar to Django, Jinja, and Liquid.

It simplifies template creation with clean syntax and useful built-in filters, functions, and tags.

In a Drupal template file (now with the extention .html.twig), anything between curly braces is Twig.

Twig delimiters

{{ These }} are for printing content, either explicitly or via functions

{% These %} are for executing statements

{# These #} are for comments

Printing variables and regions

In D7 we render content like so:

<?php print render($page['sidebar']); ?>

Printing variables in D8 is as easy as including them inside double curly braces:

{# In page--front.html.twig #}
{# Print the sidebar region. #}

  {{ page.sidebar }}

Printing variables with special characters

If a variable name contains special characters, use Twig's subscript syntax (which will look familiar to seasoned Drupalers).

{# In page--front.html.twig #}
{# Print the page type. #}

  {{ page['#type'] }}

This will come in handy more during debugging.

Filters

Twig comes with many built-in filters that variables are passed to via the pipe character.

Here's the date filter:

	{# Format the post date. #}

  {{ post.published|date("Y-m-d") }}

Drupal-specific filters

Check them out here.

Remember our old friend t()?

	{# Run an ARIA label through t() #}

  <nav class="tabs" role="navigation" aria-label="{{ 'Tabs'|t }}">

Functions

Twig also comes with various functions that can be used in double curly braces.

Here's the cycle function doing some very important work:

{% set fruits = ['apple', 'orange', 'banana'] %}

{% for i in 0..10 %}
    {{ cycle(fruits, i) }}
{% endfor %}

Tags

Used for control flow and other fun things.

{# From Bartik's page.html.twig #}
{# If there are tabs, output them. #}

  {% if tabs %}

      {{ tabs }}

  {% endif %}

In template files, we'll use the if statement quite often.

Get psyched

Make sure you check out the Twig coding standards!

Twig debugging

To enable debug mode and turn off caching, we need to do 3 things:

Turn on Twig's debug mode

Turn on Twig auto reload, meaning that Twig templates are automatically recompiled when the source code is changed

Disable Drupal's render cache

You do NOT need turn off Twig caching - turning on auto reload is enough.

Use settings.local.php

Copy sites/example.settings.local.php to sites/default and rename to settings.local.php. Fill out your local database settings.

Uncomment the following at the bottom of sites/default/settings.php:

if (file_exists(__DIR__ . '/settings.local.php')) {
  include __DIR__ . '/settings.local.php';
}

Turn on debug mode and auto reload

Check out settings.local.php

// In settings.local.php

/**
 * Enable local development services.
 */
$settings['container_yamls'][] = DRUPAL_ROOT . '/sites/development.services.yml';

This tells us to head over to development.services.yml.

// In sites/development.services.yml
parameters:
  twig.config:
    debug: true
    auto-reload: true

Turn off Drupal's render cache

Just kidding, you already did.

// In settings.local.php

/**
 * Disable the render cache (this includes the page cache).
 *
 * This setting disables the render cache by using the Null cache back-end
 * defined by the development.services.yml file above.
 *
 * Do not use this setting until after the site is installed.
 */
$settings['cache']['bins']['render'] = 'cache.backend.null';

Debug away

Now you can:

View HTML comments in your browser's code inspector with lots of helpful info:

Which theme hook is being implemented

Theme hook suggestions (i.e. how to override the current theme hook)

Which template file is being output.

Make changes to your source code and simply refresh the page to see your changes rather than constantly rebuilding the cache.

dump( )

With Twig debugging turned on, we can use the Twig function dump().

{# In a template file #}
{# Print out all variables on the page. #}

  {{ dump() }}

{# Print the page's base path. #}

  {{ dump(base_path) }}

Even better: kint( )

Install the Devel and Devel Kint modules to use kint() in the same way, but with a pretty, expandable array instead.

{# In a template file #}
{# Print out all variables on the page. #}

  {{ kint() }}

We're utilized to watching Dwayne"The Rock" Johnson onto a little screen or in a picture. He's among the most well-known actors working today, and undoubtedly, he's the hottest WWE fighter employed as an actor. We all know him from different films and television, possibly the most notable is"Fast and Furious" and"Ballers".
The film will premier at the August this year. From the August 2018, Roman Reigns became WWE universal winner after beating Brock Lesnar. A few months later he declared he combats leukemia for the next time.
Anyhow, the film was declared on Rock's Instagram profile. Dwayne Johnson explained that he's excited to work together with his cousin and colleague on the film for the very first time. He expressed his pleasure with Reigns positive attitude which will surely be something which will help him return to the ring. Ultimately, he stated that he loves filming the Samoan islands where his ancestors are.
On his Instagram profile, Roman Reigns voiced his gratitude towards Dwayne and the remainder of the team, stating that he believes this a"Family Healing". Will premiere in August 2019.

Louisville Purge Hoax: Detroit, Chicago (112 People Murdered is a Hoax) Also Get Rumors on The Purge 2 'Anarchy' (AP Photo/Universal Pictures)
Louisville Purge Update: 'Real Life Purge' in KY May Have Been Hoax; Also, 'Live Blog' From Comedian
The so-called "real life Purge" in Louisville, Kentucky may have all been a hoax as a student has stepped forward to claim responsibility.
The origin of the rumors about the Purge started with an image of a poster for the movie that claimed the Purge would happen from 8 p.m. Friday through 6:30 a.m. Saturday.
The image was shared on Twitter, along with images for other cities such as Detroit and Miami.
A student at duPont Manual High School, who was not identified, told the school newspaper Manual Red Eye that he did it for laughs.
It was originally supposed to be just a fun thing, I never thought it'd get as serious as it did," said the student.
"I was really shocked the first time I saw local media covering it."
"The police came to my house yesterday. I told them I was just joking around," he added. The student later announced that he'd been kicked off the school's football team.
"I was sitting in my house and watching 'The Purge,' and I thought of the tweet and picture that started it. But didn't think it'd get that big from there. I didn't mean any harm by this at all. I love my city," the student said.
The threats based on the movies were taken seriously by police. "We're going to take any threat that we receive seriously, particularly one that encourages and incites violence against our community," Louisville Metro Police Department Sergeant and spokesman Phil Russell said.
A high school football scrimmage was postponed from Friday night while many residents expressed fear over violence actually happening through social media and to local media outlets.
People began tuning in to the Louisville police scanner, trying to figure out if the threats would come true.
There was even a live blog posted on Thought Catalog, with the author claiming: "I'm In Louisville Right Now And The Louisville Purge May Actually Be Happening."
The author, Rob Fee, gave a running update on the crimes happening in Louisville on Friday night into Saturday morning. However, Fee is actually a noted comedian, and the post seems to be a joke.

Coonan says LEO providing support to local businesses
Grants of €397,000 paid from the Local Enterprise Office (LEO) in 2014 are providing great support to local businesses in Tipperary, according to Deputy Noel Coonan.
The Local Enterprise Offices are supported by the Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation.
"The new Local Enterprise Offices (LEOs) were launched last year to deliver an improved system of local enterprise supports to start-ups and small businesses across the country.
"The LEOs provide a 'first-stop-shop' for all Government supports for small business in easily accessible locations across the country," said Deputy Coonan.
"The LEOs form part of the Government's strategy to spread the recovery to all regions of the country. This comes alongside the Regional Action Plan for Jobs being launched by the Minister for Jobs, Richard Bruton.
"Previously some businesses were considered too large to access supports from City and County Enterprise Boards or as they were not exporting, they did not qualify for Enterprise Ireland supports and so fell between two stools. All categories of business are now benefitting from services provided by the LEOs.
"Fine Gael is committed to supporting small and medium businesses that are at the heart of rural communities. Fine Gael's Standing Up for Small Business campaign engaged closely with small, local businesses while the Standing Up for Rural Ireland campaign which has just been launched, calls for continued investment in rural services, particularly broadband.
"The LEOs are a fantastic resource for sole traders, micro businesses and small and medium sized companies seeking information and support on starting or growing a business. The injection of €397,000 into local businesses in this area is a huge boost," concluded Deputy Coonan.


Earlier this year, the SDBC elders approved for me a three-month break from working at the church, called a "sabbatical." The concept of sabbatical has a source described in several places in the bible. For example, in Leviticus 25, there is a commandment to desist from working the fields during the seventh year. This allows the soil to rest and replenish itself.
I expected to accomplish three goals between June and August this summer: 1. to read through the entire bible in 90 days; 2. to prepare to teach the book of 1 John in India in November; and 3. most importantly, to spend time with Chris who had quit her job to be with me for the three months.
These plans were changed, however, by the sudden death of the brother-in-law of one of my daughters. Through the circumstances surrounding her travelling back to Arizona we had the opportunity to have three of our grandchildren, who we rarely get to see and who barely know us, come to the northwest (as they have no passports) and spend three weeks camping with us.
This gave us the unexpected opportunity to pour our love and the love of Jesus into their lives as they are not being raised in a home where Jesus is worshipped. We were able to talk with them about our faith in non-threatening ways and simply just love them. That time alone made the sabbatical a success for us.
Of my personal goals, I read about halfway through the bible. I decided my goal of completing it in 90 days was too arduous and burdensome. I had turned my focus to the study of 1 John and in combination with my reading found myself more in love with God's ways and his grace in my life than ever before.
Many ideas and concepts were revealed to me during this time of prayer and reflection. In particular, from my study of 1 John and in my reading of the Old Testament, I rediscovered an old truth: some Christians fail to confess sin because they are uncomfortable confronting their own failings, but others fail to confess sin because they are all too comfortable with it. Yes, they know it is sin, and they know it falls short of God's standards, but some sins have become acceptable in their eyes. This might happen slowly, particularly with ongoing struggles that never seem to dissipate. The believer simply gives up and he or she stops confessing.
This can be understandable, since ongoing battles are wearisome, and an apparent lack of progress can be disheartening. It's just easier to stop dealing with it, both in resistance and confession, but the result is that the believer allows a dark corner of his or her life to remain unexposed to the light. But, as long as the sin secretly remains, it will fester.
1 John 1:6 says, "God is light and in him there is no darkness at all. If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth."
1 John 1:9: "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness."
My renewed desire is to walk in the light seeking to have the relationship with God, that He designed for me to have with him. My prayer for myself has become that I will walk in truth concerning myself, my circumstances, and my ministry at SDBC. It is my prayer for SDBC that we will be a people who walk in truth and grace, loving each other as Jesus commanded.
Another way that God blessed us, toward the end of the sabbatical, was Chris was able to find a new job doing what she loves to do, helping people recover from physical issues. This was a direct and amazing answer to our prayers for her.
I love being a pastor at SDBC, and I would continue to be a pastor at SDBC with or without the sabbatical. The sabbatical was a gift. I urge you to join me in praying that we will be a people of grace, truth, and love so that we will bear honest witness to the love of Jesus in our lives as we share the love of Christ in our community.


A pool is typically an investment for your home and you will find that at whatever point you require remodeling services you can't rely just on anyone and thusly you have to look for a real and well established association which will no doubt give you great services. Finding the right and appropriate association to give you pool remodeling services is regularly a noteworthy test and this is in light of the fact that various associations customarily portray themselves as specialists yet concerning the genuine work they end up outfitting you with low-quality services. Consequently, in this talk, we will give you some of the elements which can push you to presumably distinguish a good and extraordinary pool renovating expert. A standout amongst the most critical things that you need to put into thought is certainly the sort of reputation that the organization has with regards to giving pool rebuilds and this implies you need to see clients' surveys and testimonials so you might probably know whether they have a routine of addressing their customers' needs and giving fine work.
You also have to look at the number of years that they have when it comes to experience so that you may be able to be comfortable knowing that you are dealing with experts who are committed to great service and will be able to give you high-quality results. Another way of going about this is by talking to your friends, relatives and also neighbors who have already remodeled their pools so that they may be able to give you a number of referrals and recommendations that you may be able to use which will produce outstanding results. Ensure that you agree to an organization which can offer you two or three years of warranty since this will demonstrate that they trust in the sort of work that they do and along these lines, if there should arise an occurrence of any harms within that stipulated period you will most likely be compensated.


The waters of the great Ewaso Nyiro river draw wildlife in great numbers to its banks, creating an oasis of green.
The verdant riverine forest is a stark contrast to the arid thorn studded plains. Samburu is visitedby large herds of Elephants, drawn by the promise of water. In the dry season, the elephants use their tusks to dig deep into the dry river beds, unearthing precious water. These waterholes then become a focal point for other game.
Lions are also frequently seen on the riverbanks, and Cheetah can be found on the open plains. On rare occasion, packs of African Hunting Dogs are sighted passing through the reserve.
Shaba was where Joy Adamson, author of Born Free spent her final years, returning a leopard to the wild. This was the subject of her final book, Queen of Shaba.
More recently, Shaba served as the location for the hit series Survivor Africa, which pitted its contestants against the challenges of this wild remote country.
The Ewaso Nyiro is also an important water source for the Samburu villages surrounding the reserves. The Samburu culture is a truly fascinating one, sharing a great deal of ancestral and linguistic ties to the Maasai.
The Samburu are herders of Camels and Goats, and are often seen on the reserve boundaries bringing their animals to water.
In areas around the reserves, there are several private sanctuaries working closely with the Samburu to protect both their tribal lands and the local wildlife. These sanctuaries are open to guests, and are well worth visiting for those interested in Samburu culture.
The entire Samburu region is a place of breathtaking and magical beauty, a place where the vision of a deep red sunset silhouetting the doum palms along the river as a leopard emerges to hunt brings the perfected today on safari.
Samburu, Buffalo Springs and Shaba are all accessible by road via Isiolo and Archers Post. Driving time from Nairobi is approximately 6 hours. There are airstrips in both Samburu and Buffalo Springs, with daily scheduled flights from Nairobi.
Samburu and Buffalo Springs are contiguous reserves, while the separate Shaba is a short drive to the east. The reserves have well established internal roads and tracks.

Q: Installing Tensorflow on Docker with Raspberry Pi 3 I want to install Tensorflow v1.12.0 on a Docker-container which is running on a Raspberry Pi 3 B Plus using a Dockerfile from python:3.6-slim.
I am aware that i need to take into account that im using an armv7l architecture.
So far I tried installing with pip/pip3 with and without information about version and with and without the use of my requirements.txt.
This way all other needed packages can be installed with pip.
But I am getting the Error:
Step 5/13 : RUN pip install tensorflow==1.12.0
             ---> Running in d0ecb01c7fbc
            Collecting tensorflow==1.12.0
              Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement tensorflow==1.12.0 (from versions: )
            No matching distribution found for tensorflow==1.12.0
            The command '/bin/bash -c pip install tensorflow==1.12.0' returned a non-zero code: 1

Then I tried installing with the armv7l miniconda. But it seems the Tensorflow package is not supported with that version of miniconda.
Lastly I tried installing from a precompiled wheel for arm from this repo: https://github.com/lhelontra/tensorflow-on-arm/releases.
Like so: RUN pip install https://github.com/lhelontra/tensorflow-on-arm/releases/download/v1.12.0/tensorflow-1.12.0-cp35-none-linux_armv7l.whl
Here I changed to python:3.5-slim which starts out fine but seems to stop somewhere and results in a broken pipe (I am doing this remote).
I dont know what I could try next and didn't find anything else online.

85 A. 526
G. HARRY ABBOTT vs. JOSEPH P. LEE.
Supreme Court of Connecticut Third Judicial District, Bridgeport, October Term, 1912.
HALL, C. J., PRENTICE, THAYER, RORABACK and WHEELER, Js.
A real-estate broker is not entitled to recover his commission, unless he either makes a sale, or procures a customer who is ready and willing to buy the property on the terms prescribed by the owner. In the present case the defendant property-owner signed a memorandum of the terms upon which he would sell, but the customer declined to take the property because the owner would not warrant his shore front to be at least fourteen hundred and fifty feet. The memorandum gave the boundaries of the property, but not the frontage in feet, though the owner had previously said, during the early oral negotiations and in response to a question, that his shore front embraced between fourteen and fifteen hundred feet. Held
that under these circumstances the broker was not entitled to his
commission, since he had failed to procure a person who was willing to purchase the property in accordance with the terms upon which the broker was authorized to sell it. The customer submitted a counter memorandum which included the warranty respecting the fourteen hundred and fifty feet of shore front, to which the owner would not agree. Held that the owner was under no obligation to prepare and present any other or further proposal. Oral negotiations for a sale of real estate are presumed to have been merged in a memorandum, subsequently drawn, which purports to set forth the terms upon which the owner agrees to sell. A statement of the owner of property as to the length of his shore front is immaterial, provided it is obviously a mere expression of opinion. Statements in the nature of admissions made by a duly authorized attorney to the court during the trial of a case, if not conclusive as to the facts stated, are at least to be treated as admissions of his client, and therefore as evidence of the facts so admitted.
Argued October 29th, 1912
Decided December 19th, 1912.
ACTION by a real-estate broker to recover the amount of his commission, brought to and tried by the Superior Court in Fairfield County, Burpee, J.; facts found and judgment rendered for the plaintiff for $1,713, and appeal by the defendant. Error and new trial ordered.
The complaint alleges that on or about the 23d of December, 1909, the defendant employed the plaintiff to procure a purchaser for a certain tract of land consisting of thirty-seven acres, more or less, with the buildings thereon standing, situated on Sasco Hill in Fairfield, and promised to pay him therefor $1,650; that the plaintiff procured such purchaser, ready and willing to buy upon the terms prescribed by the defendant; and that the defendant has refused to pay the plaintiff said sum.
The trial court has found these facts: Prior to 1909 the plaintiff, a real-estate broker, was informed by one Poillon that he would like to buy some property on the shore of Long Island Sound, in the vicinity of Stamford. Having learned that the defendant and his three sisters were the owners of such property, and desired to sell
the same, the plaintiff visited said premises, in company with Mr. Poillon's wife and daughter, and they were shown over the property by one of the defendant's sisters, the defendant himself not being at home. On the same evening the defendant informed the plaintiff that he and his sisters would sell the property for $35,000, and authorized the plaintiff to sell it at that price, and promised to pay him therefor a commission of five per cent.
Two or three days later the plaintiff visited the property with Poillon and others, and met the defendant, and the defendant pointed out to them certain objects indicating approximately the limits of the shore front, and in response to a question by Poillon stated that the length of the shore line was between fourteen and fifteen hundred feet; and two days later Mr. Poillon told the plaintiff that he would accept the defendant's terms and buy the property, and that he might close the bargain with the defendant accordingly.
The finding of facts states that "at this time Mr. Poillon was ready, willing and able to buy the defendant's property upon the terms fixed by the defendant, and had the means at his command for that purpose," and that he so notified the defendant, but that "the defendant then refused to sell the property upon said terms, stating that his sisters were unwilling to sell the dwelling-house and the home lot, containing about one acre."
A short time afterward the defendant told the plaintiff to tell Poillon that he would allow a reduction of $2,000 from the original price of $35,000, and retain the dwelling-house and home lot, and this proposition was presented by plaintiff to Poillon, and accepted by the latter, and the plaintiff at once informed the defendant of such acceptance, and it was then agreed between the plaintiff and the defendant that the former should
receive $1,500 for selling the property for said price, and the defendant agreed to pay the same.
On the 23d of December, 1909, the plaintiff wrote, and the defendant and his sisters signed, plaintiff's Exhibit A, which reads as follows: "Received from G. Harry Abbott, agent, the sum of fifty ($50.00) dollars to bind agreement to sell to J. E. Poillon all that certain tract or tracts of lands located on Sasco Hill (so-called) in the town of Fairfield, County of Fairfield, State of Connecticut, comprising thirty-seven (37) acres, more or less, as described in deeds as follows: Eliza M. Jennings to Patrick Lee, dated Apl. 5, 1888, recorded Vol. 65, page 411; Ebenezer Burr and wife, recorded July 18th, 1893, Vol. 67, page 594; Charles Jennings, Adm., to Patrick Lee, recorded Nov. 1st, 1898, Vol. 69, page 95, except for house standing thereupon, and one (1) acre of ground. It is understood that the purchase price is thirty-three thousand ($33,000) dollars, payable ($2,500.00) on signing of contract. Ten thousand, five hundred dollars and a mortgage for $20,000.00 @ 5% per annum upon delivery of deed on April 1st, 1910."
The plaintiff showed this paper to Poillon, who then gave the plaintiff $500 in part payment of the purchase price required by the terms of said writing, "and to make the contract binding." Which sum is still kept by the plaintiff, except that he gave his own check to the defendant for $50 as above indicated.
In January, 1910, Mr. Poillon prepared a written contract (plaintiff's Exhibit E) which provided that the defendant agreed to sell to Poillon and the latter agreed to purchase for $33,000 the premises described as containing thirty-seven acres, more or less, with the buildings thereon, excepting one acre of land with the buildings thereon, and further described by the boundaries, supposed to be in accordance with those described
in the three deeds referred to in Exhibit A, the southwesterly boundary being described in said Exhibit E as "the waters of Long Island Sound at highwater mark," and the westerly by "Mill River, so called." Added to such description in Exhibit E was the following language, not contained in the deeds referred to in Exhibit A, "together with all shore and riparian rights in said Sound and river. It being expressly agreed and warranted that the shore line on said Long Island Sound shall not be less than fourteen hundred and fifty (1450) feet in length."
No length of the shore line, by number of feet, was given in the deeds referred to in Exhibit A.
The defendant refused to sign Exhibit E. No contract, other than Exhibit A, embodying any change in the language of Exhibit E, was ever submitted to Mr. Poillon, and no sale of the property to Poillon was made.
The finding of facts contains these paragraphs: "30. The defendant did not offer or make any attempt in any way to carry out the agreement for the sale of his property made by him on December 23, 1909. 31. Mr. Poillon was ready, willing and able at all times to fulfill his part of the agreement Exhibit A, and on several occasions between December 23, 1909, and April 1, 1910, he made efforts to communicate with the defendant and to induce him to make the contract for sale and execute the deed mentioned in Exhibit A, and complete the transfer of the property, but without success. 32. The defendant refused and neglected to make any contract for sale of the property and to make any conveyance thereof to Mr. Poillon and it was his fault that the sale was not consummated. . . . 34. It did not appear how long the shore line or shore front of this property is, and no evidence was offered to show that the description of the land contained in Exhibit E
is not a correct description of the land referred to in Exhibit A."
Upon the facts found the trial court rendered judgment for the plaintiff for $1,713.25.
The defendant excepted to the finding as made in paragraphs 30, 31, 32 and 34, and also as made in other paragraphs of the finding, and asked for a correction thereof. The evidence respecting the facts so found is certified to this court.
Robert E. DeForest and Thomas M. Cullinan, for the appellant (defendant).
Robert A. Fosdick, for the appellee (plaintiff).
HALL, C. J.
To entitle the plaintiff to recover, he was required to prove the averment of his complaint, that he procured a "purchaser ready and willing to buy upon the terms prescribed by the defendant." To do this in the present case he was required to prove that Poillon was ready and willing to accept a conveyance of the property, and to pay the agreed price for it, in accordance with the terms fixed by the defendant, or that Poillon was ready and willing to enter into an enforceable contract to do so. Leete v. Norton, 43 Conn. 219, 226; Schlegal v. Allerton, 65 Conn. 260, 32 A. 363 Clark v. Thompson Son Co., 75 Conn. 161, 52 A. 720.
It is conceded that the conveyance was to be by warranty deed.
The complaint does not properly describe the property to be conveyed, or the sum to be paid to the plaintiff. By the final agreement the dwelling-house and one acre of land was to be excepted from the property first proposed to be sold, and the sum to be paid the plaintiff was fixed at $1,500.
The only property which the plaintiff was finally authorized by the defendant and his sisters to sell, was that described in the deeds referred to in Exhibit A, an instrument which was prepared by the plaintiff himself, was signed by the defendant and his sisters, and was also shown to Mr. Poillon.
It is expressly stated in Exhibit A, that the tract or tracts of land to be sold to Mr. Poillon (excepting the house and one acre of land) were "as described in deeds as follows." Following this statement in Exhibit A, are the names of the parties to said deeds, the respective dates upon which the deeds were executed, and the volumes and pages where they are recorded.
From this language of Exhibit A, the plaintiff as well as Poillon, to whom it was shown, were clearly informed just what property was to be conveyed by the defendant and his sisters, and how the "tract or tracts" to be conveyed were to be described in the deed of conveyance.
In view of this language of Exhibit A, the defendant, unless he has modified the terms of Exhibit A, was not required, either by any agreement with the plaintiff or with Poillon, to execute any contract to sell, or any deed of conveyance to Poillon, containing any materially different description of the property or rights conveyed or to be conveyed, from those described in Exhibit A, and the deeds therein referred to, or to execute any contract or deed agreeing to warrant any title to any property or right, not included in the descriptions of property and rights contained in Exhibit A, or in said described deeds.
The plaintiff, however, claims that the description of the property to be conveyed, as contained in Exhibit A, was modified and changed by the statement of the defendant, as found to have been made to Poillon, and in the presence of the plaintiff, that the length of the
shore line was between fourteen and fifteen hundred feet. But this was not a statement that it was fourteen hundred and fifty feet long. That it was over fourteen hundred and less than fourteen hundred and fifty feet long would have been consistent with such statement; and proof that such statement was made before the defendant and his sisters had signed the writing, Exhibit A, in which previous negotiations are presumed to have been merged, render the statement inadmissible to alter the writing. Furthermore, it is perfectly apparent that such statement was, as the trial court ruled, but the expression of an opinion by the defendant
Regarding the questions of the willingness of Poillon to contract to purchase the property in question, or to accept a deed of the same in accordance with the terms of Exhibit A, and of the defendant's unwillingness to make such a contract, or to execute such a deed, which questions the trial court decided adversely to the defendant in paragraphs 31 and 32 of the finding, there seems to have been no conflict of evidence.
Poillon never signed or offered to sign Exhibit A.
The plaintiff testified that the $500 paid to him after Exhibit A was signed, was to be paid to the defendant "upon the signing of the contract," and that it was not paid to the defendant because the contract was never signed.
We find no evidence that Poillon was willing to sign any other contract to purchase the property than Exhibit E, or that he was ever willing to accept a deed of the property which did not contain a warranty that the length of the shore line was fourteen hundred and fifty feet. The plaintiff testified that the property he was negotiating to sell was the property as described in the deeds named in Exhibit A. Poillon, as a witness for the plaintiff, testified the basis upon which he calculated to buy the property was the memorandum,
Exhibit A, and the representations made by defendant as to the length of the shore line; that the memorandum, Exhibit A, was shown, but that he was buying it upon representations; and that the negotiations terminated because the defendant would not sign the contract, Exhibit E.
The position of the plaintiff, and his claim as to the evidence, is made quite clear by the following statements of his own counsel, made to the trial court during the trial: The Court. ". . . but Mr. Poillon hasn't testified that he is ready to take the land described in those three deeds [the deeds named in Exhibit A]." Mr. Fosdick. "No, your Honor." The Court. "And I infer that he isn't. Is he?" Mr. Fosdick. "He is not. He stated that he is not. He stated that he was willing to take the land described in those three deeds in connection with the representations which had been made by Mr. Lee to him regarding the distance along the shore. . . ." The Court. "The question is, have you got a purchaser ready to buy that land." Mr. Fosdick. "The evidence is that we have. He testified he was —" The Court. "What land?" Mr. Fosdick. "The land described in these deeds with 1450 feet of shore front. . . ." The Court. "Do you also claim that the statements made in regard to the shore front were untrue. . . ." Mr. Fosdick. "Certainly." The Court. "And that that is the reason why Mr. Poillon has not gone ahead with the contract?" Mr. Fosdick. "Certainly. He hasn't got anything like the shore front that he represented." The Court. "Then the court is at liberty to interpret the testimony given as meaning that Mr. Poillon has not found the quantity of land there he expected?" Mr. Fosdick. "That is precisely it." The Court. "Therefore he is not willing and ready to buy the land described in those deeds [the deeds named in Exhibit A] without any reference to
outside statements." Mr. Fosdick. "Oh, he never was willing to buy the land described in those deeds unless a survey showed that the distance along the shore was equal to that which was represented the man owned." The Court. "And the survey doesn't show that?" Mr. Fosdick. "Certainly not; doesn't show it."
Even if the court was not bound to accept these statements of counsel as conclusive upon the questions of fact to which they related, yet, as admissions of a duly-authorized attorney, made to the court during the trial of a case, they were to be treated as admissions of his client, the plaintiff, and were to be considered as in the nature of evidence of the facts so admitted Oliver v. Bennett, 65 N.Y. 559; Wilson v. Spring, 64 Ill. 14; Marsh v. Mitchell, 26 N.J. Eq. 497; Perry v Simpson Waterproof Mfg. Co., 40 Conn. 313; 1 Greenleaf on Evidence, § 186.
After refusing to sign Exhibit E, the defendant was not required to prepare and present another contract, which he would sign. The contract or conveyance which he was willing to sign was sufficiently stated in Exhibit A, and the burden rested upon the plaintiff to prove that he had procured a purchaser ready to sign a contract to buy the property or to accept a deed of it, upon the terms there stated. The evidence clearly shows that the purchaser procured was only willing to sign a contract or accept a deed which contained a materially different description of the property to be conveyed from that contained in Exhibit A, and which imposed upon the defendant an obligation of warranting the length of the shore line to be fourteen hundred and fifty feet, which was not contained in Exhibit A, and which he had never agreed to assume.
The court erred in finding the facts as stated in paragraphs 31 and 32 of the finding, as they were not supported by the evidence, and in not finding the fact,
which was proved, that the plaintiff failed to procure a person who was willing to purchase the property in accordance with the terms upon which the plaintiff was authorized to sell it.
As there must be a new trial, it is unnecessary to consider other claimed errors.
There is error and a new trial is ordered.
In this opinion the other judges concurred.

Trek was great overall for the experience and views afterwards. Guide was very helpfulwith knowledge of the area. Guide was very attentive and helped the less able hikers get down the mountain and came back up to meet the ones who wanted to continue. Strong and very enthusiastic about his job!
Gorgeous hike and phenomenal views!!
My husband and I are not avid hikers as we live in an area that has no mountains, but we took the challenge. It was an amazing hike and so worth the view from the top!


I have been curled up in my nest sipping hot cider and watching the inauguration. Despite the fact that I was not an Obama supporter, I appreciate that this is a special moment in history. I appreciate the pomp and circumstance of it all. I still think George Bush is a hero and a patriot. Regardless of what you think of his politics, who would have thought on September 12, 2001, that our country would not face another terrorist attack within our borders? It seemed almost certain.
I was especially touched by the first daughters, Sasha and Malia. They carried themselves with grace and dignity beyond their years. I love the reports that Malia cautioned her father about his speech, "Hmm. First African American President. Better be good." I notice that afterwards she said to him, "good speech". I have always enjoyed watching the presidential daughters... Amy Carter, Chelsea Clinton, Barbara and Laura Bush... Sasha and Malia are adorable additions to this elite sorority.
Another presidential minority that interests me is the left-handers. Barack Obama is the 8th left-handed president and he writes sideways just like I do. I thought that was pretty cool. Previous lefties are James Garfield, Herbert Hoover, Harry Truman, Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush and Bill Clinton. Some sources add Thomas Jefferson to that list. Ronald Reagan actually wrote with his right hand - although he was truly left handed. I'm lefthanded, which is why it's relevant to me.
Stubby is napping on my bed with me.
The oath was garbled but that made it sort of endearing, didn't it?
I've turned off the phone today. I didn't realize how many telemarkers call my house during the day.
My cellphone has been quiet most of the day too. People are used to me being at work during the day so they don't call. I did get a bible verse texted to me (from Barry), which was sweet... and a text from my oldest son, Ryan.
I've gone three weeks without a doctor visit. I want to be physician free in 2009.
Watching the Obamas in the parade. I hope she has some gel inserts in her shoes... cold toes in pointy toed heels equals some serious pain. I do love Michelle's sense of style.
Hope your sore throat gets better!
Good luck on staying doc free in 2009, and I hope you feel better. I might have to bite the bullet and call one up for the first time in years, as I've got a cold that just won't quit.
Abraham Lincoln was also left handed. I believe that makes nine.
I hope that sore throat gets better. I missed the events yesterday and I too, love to watch regardless of who is being sworn in. I hope that some day I can be there, feeling that excitement in person.

Ariz. GOP Senate hopeful Black Masters: Biden's open border the top issue with Ariz. voters
September 12, 2022 by NationalWatch
Neil W. McCabe — OAN National Political Correspondent
UPDATED 9:18 AM PT – Monday, September 12, 2022
The Arizona Republican nominee for Senate told reporters his most effective pitch to voters is his pledge to secure his state's border with Mexico in the last two months before the November election at the National Conservatism Conference held Sept. 11 through Sept. 13 in Miami at a press gaggle shortly after his speech to a closed-the-press reception for conference participants.
"It's the wide-open southern border," said Blake Masters, the former president of Thiel Capital, the private family investment vehicle for Peter Thiel's family. "Which was a choice. Joe Biden made that choice."
Masters said his rival, Sen. Mark E. Kelly (D.-Ariz.), also made the choice to leave the border open.
"Mark Kelly, my opponent in Arizona, he's done more than anyone in the whole country to help Biden implement this disastrous open border policy, so you've got 500,000 actually about 300,000 illegals coming through every month," he said. "Five million have come here since Joe Biden and Mark Kelly to open the Southern border."
Masters said the open border not only brings in illegal migrants, but also dangerous drugs.
"It's all the fentanyl, it's the drug overdoses. It's the crime attendant to that open border," said the married father of three.
The border and crime are also connected to how Democrats have handled the nation's economy.
"It's law and order–crime. It's also inflation of course, and inflation is an abstract economic term," he said.
"What it really means is the Democrats have made life too expensive," said the 36-year-old Denver native.
"They've made life unaffordable for so many people, uh, at the gas pump at the grocery store," Masters said. "Everything you need to live is more expensive because of Joe Biden and Mark Kelly's demented economic policies."
The man who co-wrote the book "Zero to One" with his former boss Peter Thiel, said he has concerns about how the 2022 election is conducted, after the mismanagement of the 2020 election.
"I'm worried, but you know, a lot of people worried about this and I think in Arizona, we've made some progress," said he said.
"We'll go to war here in November with a better set of election integrity laws than we had in November of 2020," Masters said.
One of the problems is the model of big tech interference practiced by Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Facebook, who spent more than $400 million to sway the 2020 election to former vice president Joseph R. Biden Jr.
Zuckerberg also told Joe Rogan on his podcast that Facebook deliberately suppressed news related to the Hunter Biden laptop after the FBI told him it was part of a Russian information offensive.
"I'm mostly worried about big tech," he said.
"Zuckerberg literally just admitted that the FBI coerced Facebook into censoring, true information about Hunter Biden in the weeks before the 2020 election, so when you have the FBI, when you have federal law enforcement working closely with multibillion-dollar corporations to put their thumb on the scale, to decide what Americans get to hear about in the weeks leading up to an election–I think we should all worry about that," Masters said.
"How could you not be worried about that?" he asked.
This election is critical because of the radical plans the Democrats would execute if they keep control of the House and gain an absolute majority in the Senate, he said.
"We're seeing it—look how bad we're suffering under just two years of Biden-Harris under just two years. Look what they've done in 18 months, so imagine what Hillary Clinton would've accomplished in six years," he said. "It's game over. It'd be too late," he said.
"If the Democrats take control of the Senate, if they can actually get Biden's agenda through, they will pack the Supreme Court. They will federalize elections. They will add new states to the union," Masters said.
"Like the Biden says that anyone who cares about the Constitution, anyone who wants to put America first, he says, that's fascist," he said.
"What Biden is doing is this creeping, bureaucratic totalitarianism that they're ushering in. That's gonna be the end of America. If we don't put a stop to it right now," he said.
Masters said in the Senate, that he would work to reform the federal civil service system, which protects the federal employees, specifically to hold them accountable for job performance and to remove their extraordinary job security.
"I just think that people who work for the government shouldn't have lifetime tenure. Maybe there should be some performance reviews," said former investment banker said.
"Maybe you should give the good people, a raise and fire, the bad people. How about that? Instead of just this entrenched bureaucracy where nobody can, can ever be fired for any reason like that doesn't make any sense at all," he said.
The Senate candidate said government employees are treated in a way that is completely unknown in the private sector.
"Imagine running a business that way—ludicrous–if you, if you were the CEO and you could never fire an employee, whether they were good or not, you think that company would work," he said.
Masters said he does not believe the civil service has become feudalism. "I wouldn't say that. I just think the civil service's become mind, numbingly, bureaucratic and increasingly left-wing."
Because the civil servants are immune to accountability, they can outlast a president they oppose, he said.
"Their whole concept is to just wait out a president, right?" he said. "Look at how hard they dug in and resisted President Trump's agenda. They just wait out Republican administrations because they know they can never be fired. I think that's a problem."
The graduate of Sanford Law School said there are a number of senators he looks forward to working with if he is sworn in in January.
"We have a lot of good ones. Sen. Josh Hawley, Holly, Sen. Ted Cruz, Sen. Rand Pau—and Cy, Cynthia Lummis is doing interesting stuff on crypto," he said.
"Mike Lee is always a joy to work with and talk to about the Constitution," he said.
"We have a good bench and I don't think the Democrats do."

This luscious raspberry cake is filled with fresh berries and a lightly indulgent whipped cream. It is a light, heavenly cake perfect for celebrations or even as a daily light dessert.
I am truly enjoying the weather: sun on my skin, the sticky, humid air, the need for only light sweaters in the morning and being able to enjoy outdoors more. I am savoring it as much as I can and especially that I get to bake with berries.
I love the wonderful pop of colors from the berries on my baked goods.
Raspberries. These cloudlike-sweet-tangy gems get the limelight in this light and mildly sweet cake. I love how this is dressed in heaping amounts of whipped cream, and with the raspberries contrasting the decadence with a bright and sweet flavor, this cake is a truly a dream.
In time with this nice and warm weather, this raspberry cake is a great one to add to your summer BBQ as a final, sweet entree.
Or you can have it for breakfast like I did.
This cake is a genoise. Or simply a sponge cake that is airy and light. Contrary to a butter cake that gets its texture from creaming the butter and sugar, genoise gets its airy texture from beating the eggs until tripled in size, incorporating as much air as possible to support its rise.
A genoise is a perfect base for fruits and cream. It is usually brushed with a sweet syrup to render moisture to the crumbs. Its light and eggy flavor profile is a perfect match for the decadent berries and cream.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the eggs until foamy. You will see that the color has turned pale and bubbles are on the surface.
Gradually add the sugar and continue beating. The egg should be tripled in size and is thick, almost like a whipped cream but softer.
Try lifting the beater from the batter. The batter should drip down and form ribbons on the surface. These ribbons should sink rather slowly and not right away.
Next sift together the flour and cornstarch in a bowl. Fold it gently into the egg batter. Use a rubber spatula and scoop from under then going up. Repeat the gentle scooping motions just until no streaks of flour remain.
Tip: Oftentimes, the flour on the bottom of the bowl are the last ones to go. You want to double check the bottom part even if the rest of the batter is streak-free.
Fold in the melted butter just until incorporated and pour the batter into an 8-inch cake pan that is lined with parchment paper. Bake at 325 F for 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted at the middle of the cake comes out clean.
As the cake bakes, you can make the Chantilly cream and the stock syrup and store them in the fridge until you are ready to assemble the cake.
Let the cake cool for ten minutes in the pan, then turn it over onto a wire rack. Peel off the parchment paper and let the cake cool completely.
First, you need to slice the cake in half horizontally so you get two layers. Use a serrated knife and start slicing in the mid part of the cake. Turn the cake as you continue to slice through the cake, moving deeper and deeper until you have come around the entire edge.
A cake turntable is very handy here so you can rotate the cake as you slice all around it.
Lay the first layer of cake on a serving plate. Use a brush to pat stock syrup on both the surface of the two halves. The stock syrup is simply a mixture of sugar and water. It is made by bringing water and sugar to a boil until it is syrupy.
It is a clear and sweet syrup used for soaking airy cakes like sponge cakes to add moisture and flavor.
It can also be used as a sweetener for desserts, drinks and fruits.
Spread the chantilly cream over the first layer. Chantilly cream is simply our good old whipped cream sweetened with sugar and flavored with vanilla. It is a stuff made in heaven.
Arrange the raspberries in circles over the cream. Spread another layer of chantilly cream over the raspberries.
Lay the second layer of the cake over the first. And again, spread cream and arrange the berries on top.
Refrigerate the cake until ready to serve. Dust the berries with icing sugar.
When folding the flour mixture to the eggs, check the bottom part of the egg batter to make sure no streaks of flour remain. Always fold the flour into egg batters gently to avoid deflating the batter too much.
The chantilly cream is best refrigerated for at least an hour before assembling the cake.
To serve the cake, use a sharp knife to slice it so you don't have to press down on the cake too much and ooze out lots of cream filling.
Finally, enjoy your little piece of heaven. Let the warm wind kiss your cheeks and the raspberries moisten your lips. Enjoy summer, and enjoy your berries!
Preheat oven to 325 F. Grease an 8-inch round cake pan and line it with parchment paper. In a bowl of a stand mixer, beat the eggs until it is pale and foamy. Add the sugar gradually and continue to beat until the eggs have tripled its volume. You will know when it is ready if you lift the beater and the batter falls back in the surface forming ribbons that do not sink in right away.
Sift together the flour and cornstarch in a bowl and fold gently into the batter. Gently scoop under, then up in a gentle repeated motion just until no streaks of flour remains. Fold the melted butter just until incorporated.
Pour the batter into the pan and bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted at the center of the cake comes out clean. Let the cake cool for ten minutes in the pan, then turn it over on a wire rack and peel off the parchment paper. Cool completely.
In a bowl of a stand mixer, whisk the cream using the whisk attachment until it forms soft peaks. Add the sugar and vanilla and whisk until stiff peaks form. Cover and refrigerate until needed.
Combine water and sugar in a small saucepan and let come to a boil over medium heat. The mixture will be syrupy. Turn off heat immediately and strain into a jar. Let cool.
Slice the cake in half horizontally using a serrated knife. Turn the cake as you cut to get even layers. Brush off excess crumbs.
Arrange the first layer into the serving plate. Using a pastry brush, pat stock syrup on the surface of both halves of the cake. Spread the chantilly cream on the surface of the first layer. Top with fresh raspberries. Spread another layer of cream over the raspberries.
Lay the second layer of cake over the first layer and spread chantilly cream all over the surface. Arrange more raspberries on top of the cream. Refrigerate cake until ready to serve. Dust the berries with powdered sugar upon serving.
