Lady Macbeth review
Book: Macbeth
External factors that lead to his downfall -LadyMacbeth&Witches. Internal factors that lead to his downfall – ambition & self-interest.
Macbeth's soliloquies The audience's reaction to and levels of sympathy for Macbeth. His relationship with his wife Lady Macbeth. His behaviour as King / tyrant! You must also be able to discuss the following characters: Lady Macbeth – as a person in her own right, her relationship with her husband & our reaction to & levels of sympathy for her. Duncan – as a King & as one of the "good" characters in the play.Banquo – as a person in his own right and as a "foil" to Macbeth. The Witches – their role in the play & influence over Macbeth.
Minor characters – Macduff, Malcolm, Edward (Kings/good guys!) You can be asked a general question in which you'd discuss several characters. For example: "The play presents a dark and pessimistic view of humanity". 2. Themes: Kingship & power Good vs. Evil Appearance vs.
Reality Supernatural 3. Style: Imagery – blood, animal & clothing imagery Relevance to a modern audience Compelling dramaHere are some specific exam questions but remember that you won't know the exact question until you open up the exam paper. You are being asked to respond to the statement – discuss to what extent you agree and/or disagree with it. Don't just bluntly begin by saying "I agree 100% with this statement" – this is predictable and shows an inability to offer a nuanced analysis of the play/statement. You must support all points you make by quotation from and reference to the play.
CHARACTERS: "Ambition and self-interest are the qualities that destroy Macbeth" Shakespeare's Macbeth invites us to look into the world of a man driven on by ruthless ambition and tortured by regret" "Macbeth's murder of Duncan has horrible consequences both for Macbeth himself and for Scotland" "Macbeth's soliloquies are essential in order to retain audience sympathy for the central character" "The relationship between Macbeth and Lady Macbeth undergoes significant change during the course of the play" "The relationship between Macbeth and his wife is ultimately a destructive one" Their partnership in guilt, which at the beginning of the play is a strong bond between them, gradually drives Macbeth and his wife apart, until they go down to their seperate dooms, isolated and alone" "We feel little pity for the central characters of Macbeth and Lady Macbeth in Shakespeare's play" "While there are some redeeming features in the character of Macbeth, Lady Macbeth is portrayed as a ruthless opportunist, whose ambition for her husband supercedes all moral considerations" "Lady Macbeth is responsible for the fall of her husband" "Lady Macbeth is no monster, she is a loyal though misguided wife, not

Q: Receive multicast frames from different subnets I'm trying to receive on my LInux box multicast frames from hosts on a different subnet. For the experiment, and ONLY for this experiment, i have two machines connected through a network switch:

*

*machine A (192.168.10.1/24) runs a simple application having a listening UDP socket (port 10000) joined on a multicast group (ex. 226.0.0.1);

*machine B (192.168.20.1/24) sends UDP datagrams (destination port 10000) to multicast group 226.0.0.1.

Running tcpdump on machine A I see packets sent by machine B but packets are not delivered to the application layer. The packets are delivered to the application layer only if machine B is on the same subnet of machine A.
Which is the correct way to enable reception of multicast frames from different subnets?

A: The router that is routing traffic between the subnets need to support multicast forwarding. IGMP is one such protocol that will allow multicast traffic to be routed between different IP Subnets, and is supported by Linux and most Cisco routers.

A: I expect you have multihomed servers. Try adding static route for the remote subnet on each local machine.
on 192.168.10.1/24: route add -net 192.168.20.0/24 <eth#>
on 192.168.20.1/24: route add -net 192.168.10.0/24 <eth#>

While the rest of us shoveled snow in a bitterly cold January, Devin Latimer was in New Delhi, India presenting at The 5th Asia-Oceania Conference on Green and Sustainable Chemistry.
Instructor of the Chemistry and Society and Organic Chemistry courses at the University, when Latimer isn't traveling around the world lecturing to chemists, he's touring Canada, playing bass with Juno Award-winning quintet Nathan Music Co. along with wife Keri.
In 2007, he was named artistic director of the Trout Forest Music Festival held every August in Ear Falls, Ontario.
"We were having babies and weren't traveling as much," he explains. "The opportunity just came about the right time."
"I feel like I get to throw a big party every summer and invite my favourite musicians," he says. And that includes former students and classmates.
"There's been a few," he admits, "including two of the three Crooked Brothers."
Leading up to this year's festival, he will be touring with Leaf Rapids, a side project with Keri.
"Keri named the project after my home town," he says, but don't expect any songs about chemistry from the new duo.
"I really don't think I can do any better than the McGarrigle sisters' Sodium Chloride (NaCl) Song."

Here is a fiddle for better reference. Clicking on 'nudge' animates the blocks to move up by a height equal to the height of each block. My problem is that this works just great for two blocks at a time right now and I can't figure out how to display more than that(3 specifically). Could anyone suggest me a way to do that here?

A: How is this? Demo. Made it much simpler, readable and extendable. Sorry I don't have access to jsfiddle in my current location.

Coffee is one of the most versatile food and drink products to ever exist. It can be enjoyed as a beverage or in some cases eaten in the form of chocolate covered coffee beans. In this article, I am actually going to cover some of the health benefits of coffee for those of you wishing to know more about the healthier side of drinking coffee.
Drinking an average of three to four cups of coffee a day has been linked to a longer lifespan. A 2015 study published in Circulation actually noted that there was an 8%-15% decrease in the risk of death of people who consume coffee, with that percentage being higher with more coffee that was consumed.
Researchers in Korea conducted a study in which participants who drank 3 to 5 cups of coffee a day were less prone to showing symptoms of heart disease. It should be noted however, that the Eastern diet is much different than a Western diet, so there could be other dietary factor to include in that study. Another recent study in Brazil showed that drinking a minimum of three cups of coffee a day see a significantly smaller amount of calcification in the coronary arteries.
An excerpt from the Journal of Pain, 2007 states that drinking up to two cups of coffee after working out can cut that post-workout pain by up to 48%! I can personally vouch for this effect. There have been countless times where my aches and pains from a workout have not been as severe after having just a cup or two of hot coffee.
This one is beneficial for anyone who loves caffeine but need a healthier alternative to drinking caffeinated soda. Drinking black coffee can actually kill the bacteria on teeth that would cause cavities. This benefit is nullified if one were to add cream and sugar to their coffee. This is another benefit I can personally vouch for. I used to drink coffee with cream and sugar on a daily basis, but once I started drinking just black coffee, my teeth have been much healthier.
A popular topic of study found that people who drink at least two cups of coffee a day after suffering from a heart attack have a significantly smaller risk of dying from said heart attack as opposed to those who do not drink coffee afterwards.
One of the reasons why coffee is such a healthy drink is that a normal serving of coffee contains a higher amount of antioxidants than a serving of grape juice, blueberries, and even oranges. These antioxidants can help to reduce inflammation which subsequently would reduce risk in diseases and disorders related to it. I will leave a link at the end of the article that will lead you to a study from Monash University which further showcases the benefits of a cup of hot coffee.
Overall, coffee can serve as a healthy part of any diet, as long as it is consumed in moderation. An average of 2-3 cups a day is considered to be a healthy amount to drink, as long as one could keep their intake under control. Those who have certain heart conditions or a sensitivity to caffeine would need to tailor their coffee consumption accordingly, but there are still some benefits even for a lighter consumption rate or switching to decaf coffee or tea. If you can keep your coffee intake at a moderate level, the health benefits definitely will outweigh any harm that could come from coffee consumption.

Police lose track of bear in Avon
Lauren Glendenning
lglendenning@vaildaily.com
Vail, CO Colorado
Aaron Cessna | Special to the Daily
AVON, Colorado– At least 20 people gathered around a crab apple tree in Avon Wednesday afternoon to get a closer look at a young bear who stopped for a meal.
The bear was in the area behind Avon Plaza and 51 Beaver Creek Place, where employees and owners at surrounding businesses had seen him Tuesday afternoon around the same time. He climbed a crab apple tree in front of Domino's Pizza and was eating the fruit, seemingly unfazed by the gawkers who gathered at the intersection of East Beaver Creek Boulevard and Beaver Creek Place to take photos and stare.
One woman drove by in an Audi wagon and yelled at a woman who was taking a photo of the bear.
"You're the reason why they get put down," the woman yelled as she slowly drove by. "You should be ashamed of yourself."
Avon police officer Avon Police Officer Jonathan Lovins arrived and dispersed the crowd just before the bear came down from the tree and climbed up another tree nearby, he said. The bear then scurried off behind Avon Plaza, and then behind Buck Creek Plaza.
"I lost sight of it – I was trying to follow it," Lovins said.
The bear had been seen on a roof at Avon Plaza earlier before it attracted a crowd around the crab apple tree.
"He's just sitting in the tree, munching," said Jon Beckman, who works at Domino's Pizza.
Colorado Parks and Wildlife was called but an officer didn't make it out in time before officers lost his trail, Lovins said, adding that the bear looked in an open back door of a business and an employee inside shooed it away.
The bear didn't appear to be tagged, Lovins said.
"If they get trapped, they get tagged – they only get so many chances," he said. "No one wants to see a bear put down."
Lovins is referring to the two-strike policy. Colorado Parks and Wildlife spokesman Mike Porras said the policy means that a bear that is relocated one time gets tagged. If that same bear ends up in that same situation again, then it's euthanized.
'A bear is just being a bear'
Porras said the department doesn't always respond to every bear call because there are many times "when a bear is just being a bear."
"A bear eating fruit out of a crab apple tree is generally not something we would be concerned about," Porras said, adding that if that bear gets aggressive or gets into trash consistently, officials become more concerned about its threat to public safety.
The worst thing people can do when they see a bear is to crowd around it and make it nervous, Porras said. Unfortunately, that's exactly what many of the people checking out the bear Wednesday were doing.
"It's usually not a threat unless it feels cornered or threatened, or if they've become habituated to human food," Porras said.
Basically, if bears start to associate humans as sources for food, the danger increases.
"The best thing people can do is leave it alone," he said. "Bears are nomadic; they move – they won't stay in one spot too long."
Bears who do hang around for a long time and cause problems are concerning, though, which is why some local employees were worried about the Avon bear's fate Wednesday.
"He's not ferocious – he just must have no food," said Kathy Martin, who works at the UPS Store.
Tracy Sample, a manager at Venture Sports, said the bear "wasn't bothering anyone at all." She was sad at the thought that the bear's quest for food could get him killed.
Sample said she called Colorado Parks and Wildlife and an officer told her that if the bear isn't bothering anyone, than there's no need to act. She feared all the attention the bear was getting would seal its fate, though.
As of Wednesday evening, however, the bear had left the area and didn't appear to be tagged. That means if the bear does return and ends up captured, it would have one more chance before wildlife officials would have to put it down.
Porras added that relocation isn't always as effective as people might think.
"Once it learns where an easy source of a meal is, it doesn't matter where you take them – it's likely they'll resume that behavior there," Porras said. "It's critical that people remember the more they can do to prevent these conflicts, the better off everyone is. … A fed bear is a dead bear."

Waheeda Rehman: Rapists deserve life term in jail, not death
Updated: Dec 09, 2019, 12:03 IST | IANS | Mumbai
The yesteryears' actress, who recently turned a wildlife photographer, revealed her opinion on the matter while speaking to the media at Meraki photo exhibition recently
Waheeda Rehman
Legendary actress Waheeda Rehman feels life imprisonment, and not death, is the apt punishment for rapists. Asked what she thought of the encounter killings of the four accused in the Telangana rape-and-murder incident, the 81-year-old actress said: "I personally think that heinous crimes like rape are unforgivable but I also feel that we shouldn't be allowed to take somebody's life. We should give them (the rape accused) life imprisonment.
"We shouldn't follow legal procedure in such cases because when you have caught them red-handed, so why file a case against them? By doing that, you are wasting people's money. So, without any legal procedure, they should be given life imprisonment."
The yesteryears' actress, who recently turned a wildlife photographer, revealed her opinion on the matter while speaking to the media at Meraki photo exhibition recently.

Veritas Advisory - Department of Liquidation?!
Accordingly, the Australian Federal Government ("the Government") have recently increased their involvement in addressing this widespread issue of illegal phoenix activity. In particular, the Government has proposed to introduce a Department of Liquidation ("the Department").
The Department allocating a Registered Liquidator from a regionally based panel to an insolvent entity to avoid independence issues or raising conflicts of interest.
The Department servicing a dedicated phoenix hotline to provide the general public and industry professionals with a single point of contact for reporting illegal phoenix activity.
The Department investigating industry advisers who may intentionally or unintentionally assist phoenix operators with illegal tax avoidance schemes.
The Department providing funds to Registered Liquidators on certain matters to ensure that the business, property, affairs and financial circumstances of the insolvent entity are properly investigated and reported to creditors, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, and other interested stakeholders. As such, this would prevent the widespread practice of directors indemnifying Registered Liquidators for their costs.
Overall, the Department would ensure that the Liquidation process is externally administered in a manner that will (supposedly) maximise the return to creditors. For instance, these measures would prevent a director of a company or any other phoenix operator from hand-picking a "friendly" Liquidator that may avoid pursuing recovery actions to the detriment of creditors.
How will the Government source funding for the Department? Will taxpayers bear the burden of funding this operation?
How will the Government assess the commercial viability of establishing the Department?
It's an interesting time for professionals in the corporate insolvency regime as the Government seeks to transform these written proposals into meaningful actions that will (hopefully) mitigate the illegal activities of phoenix operators.

Q: Is there anyway to access the XML payload in HTTP Trigger of Google Cloud Function or Firebase Cloud Function Google/Firebase Cloud Functions appear very powerful for quick implementation of APIs. However, unlike Amazon and Azure, it seems that they auto convert to JSON payload and do NOT make the underlying payload available (req.body is empty) if the caller submitted application/xml or text/xml payload.
It is not always  in control to force the caller to submit JSON payload, especially for WebHooks type of operations.
Is there anyway to retrieve raw XML payload from the HTTP Trigger requests which we can then manually parse as xml and perform necessary operations.
thanks for your help.

A: request.rawBody.toString();

This does not work for now with the emulator, but it does work on Google's servers. I tested it on Firebase.
Note that you can't use request.pipe() (though it works with the emulator...) because the request payload is fully read before being handled to your function.
Discussion about this issue is here:

Home to the White House and infrastructure to support our Federal Government, it comes as no surprise that many government-based, political, and legal businesses congregate in the Washington DC and Northern Virginia areas. From these industries stems an overabundance of proprietary information; therefore, proper document shredding and document disposal remains a top priority.
Shredding documents is necessary for full identity protection. However, using a store-bought paper shredder does not reduce your risk; in some cases, it may even increase it. Business operations and identities are commonly stolen when shredded personal information is thrown away. Recycling or throwing away the shredded paper places a target on your documents as being important. If an identity thief is adamant about stealing your information, they will go to great lengths to restore these documents.
Headquartered just outside of Washington DC, Shred Instead understands the need for secure document destruction as well as secure document disposal. A Certified Shred Instead Technician will bring one of our mobile shredding trucks to your location to handle all paper shredding and sensitive material destruction beyond recognition and safely remove them from your office.

When utilizing Shred Instead's shredding services, your organization becomes part of an AAA Certified shredding and recycling process. Shredded paper materials will be securely recycled after being reduced to a pulp-like concentration, at which time bleach is used to remove all ink and break the recycled paper down to its raw form.
Shred Instead offers scheduled shredding services and One Time Shredding services to the DC/NoVA area, including Alexandria to Manassas, Arlington to Fairfax, Reston, Sterling, and Leesburg.

Berkley® Warpig™ is rated 4.8 out of 5 by 27.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Walleye Willie from Awesome Lure! Rippin is the ticket here this time of year when fishing for walleye and smallmouth bass, and this lure works great! This lure has a very nice rattle and awesome action that big walleye just can't say no too. I find that I like and use the 1/2oz. size the most in the big rivers we fish out here in the Pacific northwest when I want to cover a lot of water fast when hunting for Big Walleye and Bass. If you like blade bait fishing, add some of these lures to your arsenal, they work! Thanks Berkley for the awesome lure's!
Rated 4 out of 5 by James D from Great Features My Father and I fished the 2015 Berkley tournament on Lake Fork this year and we both ordered the Warpig on the 7th Oct. It is a great Lipless crank bait, you can cast it a mile. It travels through the water with very little drag. I would have given it a 5 Star but it has one problem it will not stand up to it hitting things during the cast. I hit a Bridge with one and it broke the front off just before the tie on eye and the front hook eye. I hit a simple dock with a second Warpig and it broke in the exact same place. It is a great bait and I will be purchasing more but will have to work hard not to get close to objects which is not that great considering that will be where the fish are.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Pigeon Lake Guy from Two thumbs up for the Berkley Warpig!!! 35 inch Pike caught on Berkley Warpig on Pigeon Lake, Alberta. Caught March 10, 2016. We use a underwater camera while fishing, most times the Pike usually just sit back and watch the lure/bait not this time this big Pike just attacked the Warpig. This was the biggest Pike caught in our ice hut for the winter ice fishing season!
Rated 5 out of 5 by Shane V from Best lure out there! Bought 1 randomly about 2 months ago. It sat dormant in my box for almost 2 weeks. Since I've put in on a rod it hasn't came off except to re-tie. Amazing lure! My friends and family have all heard me rave over this lure. It simply catches more fish! I have used it on over 20 surrounding lakes in the last month or so. It has caught fish on every one of those lakes when other lures cannot. Pike, Musky, Largemouth, Smallmouth, Striped Bass and Walleye. Clear water, murky water, sunny, overcast, etc. I have since purchased more in the same and other colors. Rip it, crank it, or what has proven best for me is absolutely burning it back and seriously covering water. I could go on and on.... Its that great of a lure. An absolute must have for any serious fisherman!
Rated 5 out of 5 by Rbeckham07 from Reliable, catches fish I've had this lure for months now and I love it. When there is nothing biting I always go to this lure. Fish can't stand it, they have to bite. I kayak fish so trolling is easy with this and be able to land fish.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Josh33 from Caught Personal Best Bought a few of the Warpigs to fish with in SC. I took the 1/2oz Bluegill pattern bait out to the lake and caught my personal best largemouth bass... 8lbs! Great action, casts a mile, and is snag resistant.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Tyler Yates from Best Lipless Crankbait Ever! I took this bait out to a pond, and my first cast I pulled in a 3 pounder. I was already in love with it. Then a while later I pulled out a 4 pounder and I have never caught fish in that pond before. But one of the back hooks on one of the treble hooks broke of, but it's replaceable.

Kentucky Court of Appeals
Insurance - Choice of Law
Grange Property and Casualty Company v. Tennessee Farmers Mutual Insurance Company, 445 S.W.3d 51, 2014 WL 4476480 (Ky.App. September 12, 2014)
Pruitt was injured in an motor vehicle accident with a vehicle operated by uninsured motorist Comer. At the time of the accident, Pruitt was operating a vehicle owned by its employer, which had insurance through Grange that included $1 million in UM coverage. Pruitt was also personally insured by Tennessee Farmers, which contained $100,000 in UM coverage. Grange argued that under Kentucky law the two carriers had pro rata liability for the UM loss, while Tennessee Farmers relied on a Tennessee statute which set priorities in UM coverages. The trial Court held that Tennessee law applied.
Kentucky has followed the view set out in the Restatement (Second) of Conflict of Laws § 188 (1971) in the case of insurance contracts, which bases choice of law on which state has the most significant relationship to the transaction and the parties. In the case of insurance contracts, the relevant parties are the insurers, not the insureds. The Pruitt policy in this case was written in Tennessee by a company that does not write insurance in Kentucky. Pruitt was a resident of Tennessee when the contract was issued. The policy specifically states that it is to be governed by the law of Tennessee. Accordingly, Tennessee law was properly applied, and Grange was the primary carrier for UM coverage in this case.
It should be noted, however, that any other conclusion would have likely violated Tennessee Farmer's due process rights since Kentucky lacked legislative jurisdiction over the contract.
Premises Liability - Licensees
Klinglesmith v. Estate of Reba Pottinger, 445 S.W.3d 565, 2014 WL 4476515 (Ky.App. September 12, 2014)
In this case fell on a porch while returning a baking pan. Plaintiff predictably argued that she could recover from the estate of her "friend" due to the Supreme Court's decision in Shelton v. Kentucky Easter Seals Society, Inc., 413 S.W.3d 901 (Ky. 2013). The Court affirmed the summary judgment entered by the trial judge on the ground that the duty owed to a licensee is not governed by Easter Seals, a fact made clear by the Easter Seals opinion itself. But it should be noted that the reasoning of the opinion tortured and belies a lack of understanding of what should be basic principles of tort law that have not yet been displaced. The Supreme Court will likely replace the opinion with its own reaching the same result or order it depublished, but if it stands rely on the result but use your own analysis.

Market-day, Friday. Stratford on Avon had a monastery of the 7th century, and was a place of some consequence previous to the Conquest, but in modern times it is famous chiefly as the place where Shakspere (1564-1616) was born and died, and on that ground is visited by travellers from every part of the world. The chief objects of interest, besides the house in Henley Street in which Shakspere was born, the parish church of Holy Trinity in which he was buried, and the Shakspere Memorial Theatre (1878), are the grammar school founded in 1482, and the ancient bridge of fourteen arches built in the time of Henry VII. Stratford on Avon received a charter for holding a market from Richard I., and was incorporated by Edward VI. The trade is chiefly connected with agriculture.

'Uber-geddon' and the democratisation of transport
by Roger Tyers · Published 1st March 2016 · Updated 12th April 2017
I was in London the other week. It was late on a Saturday night. I was at a house party and wanted to get back to a friend's house. It was about a fifteen minute walk but we were tired, possibly a little drunk, and we uber-ed it home. Natch.
You know that a word or an idea has really entered the zeitgeist of popular culture when it's used as a verb and people (and even Microsoft Word) recognise it. 'Google it', 'Netflix and Chill' or 'F*ck it, let's Uber it home' are all signifiers of a modern lifestyle that is fast, convenient and cheap. What's not to love about Uber? I never, ever took taxis in London before Uber came along and completely shook up the way Londoners (and New Yorkers, Chicagoans and Sydneysiders for that matter) get around. In that sense, Uber and other taxi apps like Lyft have 'democratised' city transport and allowed more people to enjoy what used to be an elitist activity.
In a way, this is very similar to the way that air travel has become available to millions more people in recent years, moving from an 'Elitist' to a normalised, unremarkable mode of transport, facilitated by air fares which are a third lower in real terms than they were in the early nineties. As I've written elsewhere, this 'democratisation' of transport sounds quite utopian, empowering and enfranchising. But it can also have serious negative repercussions in terms of carbon emissions, air quality, traffic and, perhaps most worryingly, by diverting revenues away from greener transport options it can create a dangerous path-dependency towards dirtier transport practices, at exactly the time when we need to be cleaning them up.
As for Uber's environmental impact, there is anecdotal evidence which can be used for either side of the argument. As I see it, there are three key questions which we need to address regarding Uber: do Uber drivers use lower emission cars than other road users? Are they adding to or reducing overall car use in our cities? And do they threaten the viability of public transport options? Unfortunately, despite being part of the "Sharing Economy", Uber have not been very willing to date about 'sharing' their stats on journey numbers and their fleet. That is about to change, however, with a team at the University of California, Berkeley, looking into the climate impacts of Uber and Lyft, with results due out in Autumn 2016. For the first time, Uber and Lyft are co-operating with the study and sharing their data with the researchers.
Their results can't come quickly enough. The anecdotal evidence is often confusing. On low-emission cars, we know that many Uber drivers use low-emission hybrid or full-electric vehicles. Most of the rides I've taken in London have been in a Toyota Prius. In London overall it appears that the Uber fleet has lower emission vehicles than the black cab fleet in the city, who are moving at a slower rate towards the Mayor's pledge for all cabs to be zero-emission capable by 2018. Yet in other cities such as San Francisco the opposite picture is true, with regular taxis more often being hybrid-engine than Uber ones. Regulation is patchy and is still playing catch-up to Uber's breakneck growth, so in reality the decision to have a low-emission or hybrid car is often driven by the economic circumstances of the Uber driver rather than national or city-level environmental regulation. With air quality already at 'criminal' levels in parts of London and twenty Uber drivers registering in London everyday, that can't be right.

As for whether Uber adds to or reduces the total number of cars on the streets, again we can't say for sure. Uber itself proclaims a vision of "Taking 1 Million Cars Off the Road in New York City" by pushing 'UberPool' the type of Uber where you share your car with other passengers. Uber have also said they want to use UberPool to 'end car ownership' in London. It sounds great, but these are the commercial aspirations of a private company, not a mandated policy target. Firstly it remains to be seen how many people want to share a car with strangers. They do it all the time in parts of the developing world, but I'm not convinced that us individualised westerners are ready to give up the privacy of our 'iron bubbles'. Secondly, what about the many people just like me who never used to take a taxi, but will now take an Uber? My position is not that I am selling my car and using Uber instead. I am taking an Uber instead of walking or taking a (night) bus. That is a critical difference.
On this point, I recently attended an ESRC seminar on 'changing transport behaviours'. One of the speakers was the Head of Transport for London (TfL)'s Behaviour Change Unit, Chris Mather. He provided us with up-to-date figures on the number of Uber drivers seeing private-hire licences. TfL are currently issuing a staggering 700 new licences a month, and last year alone we went from 12,000 to 18,000 private hire licences. As there is no cap on private taxi licences, that figure can go on increasing. Mather admitted himself that Uber had caught TfL completely unprepared, and as time goes on Uber may pose a very serious risk in denying TfL revenue (as people swap buses and tubes for cheap taxis), and therefore investment in public transport.
Last year the London Mayor, Boris Johnson, proposed capping the number of private hire licences to address the increase in London's congestion. This was flatly rejected by Jo Betram, regional general manager for Uber "A cap on the number of private hire licenses is effectively a limit on choice. It would mean higher prices, fewer jobs and would actually result in more congestion as people resort to using their own car again in the city." As London already has lower levels of car ownership than any other region of the country (and arguably the best public transport in the UK), I'm not convinced.
Chicago taxi drivers protest against Uber in January 2015
These are very serious challenges which are posed by the rise of Uber (and I haven't even mentioned the well-documented threats to a black cab industry). Just as scholars started to talk up the prospect of 'Peak Car' use in the West, Uber presents a future scenario with potentially far more cars on our streets, more pollution and less investment in public transport. The kind of research being conducted at UC Berkeley is absolutely critical if we want to answer the questions raised by Uber's growth with facts rather than anecdotes. Armed with those facts we can perhaps have a better debate about our transport choices, and whether 'democratisation', despite being such a pretty word, is necessarily always a good thing.

Here's an example. Suppose you're developing a website and creating Atom feeds. Instead of writing your own Atom-generating code, you decide to use a library. You're likely to have to either include this code from a shared library like a CPAN install or Ruby gem, or copy the source code into your own project tree. The issue with including the library is that it's difficult to customize the library in any way and often more difficult to deploy it, because you need to make sure every client has that library available. The issue with copying the code into your own project is that any custom changes you make are difficult to merge when upstream changes become available.
Git addresses this issue using submodules. Submodules allow you to keep a Git repository as a subdirectory of another Git repository. This lets you clone another repository into your project and keep your commits separate.
If you have multiple submodules, you'll have multiple entries in this file. It's important to note that this file is version-controlled with your other files, like your .gitignore file. It's pushed and pulled with the rest of your project. This is how other people who clone this project know where to get the submodule projects from.
Notice the 160000 mode for the DbConnector entry. That is a special mode in Git that basically means you're recording a commit as a directory entry rather than a subdirectory or a file.
There is another way to do this which is a little simpler, however. If you pass --recurse-submodules to the git clone command, it will automatically initialize and update each submodule in the repository.
In order to set up your submodule to be easier to go in and hack on, you need to do two things. You need to go into each submodule and check out a branch to work on. Then you need to tell Git what to do if you have made changes and then git submodule update --remote pulls in new work from upstream. The options are that you can merge them into your local work, or you can try to rebase your local work on top of the new changes.
As you can see, it also gives us some helpful advice on what we might want to do next. The simple option is to go into each submodule and manually push to the remotes to make sure they're externally available and then try this push again. If you want the check behavior to happen for all pushes, you can make this behavior the default by doing git config push.recurseSubmodules check.
As you can see there, Git went into the DbConnector module and pushed it before pushing the main project. If that submodule push fails for some reason, the main project push will also fail. You can make this behavior the default by doing git config push.recurseSubmodules on-demand.
The suggested command Git is providing will update the index as though you had run git add (which clears the conflict), then commit. You probably shouldn't do this though. You can just as easily go into the submodule directory, see what the difference is, fast-forward to this commit, test it properly, and then commit it.
You may want to set up some aliases for some of these commands as they can be quite long and you can't set configuration options for most of them to make them defaults. We covered setting up Git aliases in Git Aliases, but here is an example of what you may want to set up if you plan on working with submodules in Git a lot.
Using submodules isn't without hiccups, however.

"I have never seen a more transparent effort to alter the results of an election…It takes an extraordinarily courageous mind to present fictitious numbers when such a sturdy paper trail exists," Golding stated.
He explained that upon the completion of voting on elections day, Statements of Poll (SOPs) are produced and presented to each party representatives. Those SOPs indicate how many votes are allotted to each political party for each polling station.
Golding explained, however, that the Returning Officer for Region Four, Clairmont Mingo significantly altered the votes recorded on the SOPs when he was declaring the results for that district – the largest electoral district in Guyana.
For example, in ballot box 4062, Golding pointed out that the SOP indicated 182 votes for the APNU/AFC coalition and 43 votes for the PPP/C.
"The Returning Officer reported those results as 292 votes for APNU/AFC and 32 for PPP/C," Golding stated, noting that when that ballot box was recounted, the numbers were 182 for APNU/AFC and 43 for PPP/C, the exact figures that appeared on the SOPs.
Golding went on the give several examples of where such instances occurred, noting that for another ballot box, the SOPs indicated 15 votes for APNU/AFC and 276 votes for the PPP/C.
"The Returning Officer declared the results as 85 votes for APNU/AFC and 246 votes for the PPP/C," Golding stated.
He noted too that when the ballot box was recounted, the votes allotted to each party was "exactly as appeared on the original SOPs."
According to the Head of the EOM, elections were free, fair and transparent throughout the country for all electoral districts except District Four.
"The final tabulation of results in region four were marred by several issues, which regrettably, came to taint the overall process and have led to the protracted delay in the declaration of results," Golding expressed.
He noted that principal among these issues "were the actions of the Returning Officer in abandoning the use of the SOPs in the presence of the authorised party representatives and to rely instead of a spreadsheet of unknown origin which provided results that are significantly different than on the SOPs…"

Chair of the Group of Caricom Ambassadors to the Organisation of American States (OAS), Noel Lynch on Wednesday said that political parties in Guyana that are claiming victory in the March 2 polls should not fear the ongoing recount process.
Both the Opposition – the People's Progressive Party/Civic – and the caretaker A Partnership for national Unity/Alliance For Change (APNU/AFC) Government have said that they won the March 2 elections, which were held more than two months ago, but credible results were yet to be declared. The Opposition, however, was the only party to released its Statements of Poll to the public for scrutiny.
Currently, the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) has undertaken a national recount of all the votes cast on March 2 and the exercise is being scrutinised by a special high-level Caribbean Community (Caricom) team. However, the APNU/AFC has made allegations of irregularities on polling day (March 2) including that dead people voted as well as those who have migrated. Not only did the coalition failed to provide evidence to support these allegations of irregularities, but these were being made just over a week after caretaker President David Granger said in a statement that the elections were "free, fair and orderly".
The PPP/C has since argued that these were attempts by the incumbent coalition to "derail" and "undermine" the recount process.
But according to Ambassador Lynch, "if each of the political parties genuinely believe it has won, then they should have no fear of the current recount, and they should all support it."
Lynch, who is also Barbados' Ambassador to the OAS, was at the time speaking at the virtual OAS Meeting of the Permanent Council on Wednesday morning, where Head of the OAS Elections Observation Mission (EOM), former Jamaican Prime Minister Bruce Golding, presented a preliminary report on Guyana's elections.
The Caricom Ambassador pointed out explicitly that the only irregularities that have been unearthed in Guyana's electoral process were during the counting process and not polling day as was being claimed by the incumbent Administration.
"We are mindful, Mr Chairman, that irregularities occurred not in the system by which the Guyanese electorate cast their votes on March 2nd, but in the presentation of the count afterwards," he posited.
Ambassador Lynch went on to recognise that the role that the international observers such as the OAS, the Commonwealth, European Union and Caricom teams played as controversy arose over the counting and tabulation of the votes in the days following polling day.
"Had these Observer Missions not persevered in Guyana, a result might have been declared that would not have commanded the acceptance of the Guyanese people or the respect and approval of the international community," he posited.
The Barbadian diplomat noted that a national recount was finally in progress and the exercise is being scrutinised by the high-level Caricom team. As the recount enters into Day Nine today, he said it was clear that the process would go beyond its 25-day timeframe.
This was as a result of two factors: the intense scrutiny to which each ballot is being subjected for the satisfaction of all the contending political parties and each observer mission; and the physical distancing rules that have had to be applied because of COVID-19, which limit the number of persons to participate in and observe the recount.
Democracy must be the winner
Lauding the Guyanese people for their patience and commitment to maintaining democracy, Ambassador Lynch posited that this was not just important to Guyana as a nation but also to Caricom as a regional body.
It is for this reason, he noted, that Caricom regards itself as the most "legitimate interlocutors" in the current situation in Guyana.
"We have no interest in which political party wins the election… Caricom's interest is that, at the end of the recounting process, democracy must be the winner… If democracy fails in any Caricom country, it fails in the larger Community. If it is imperilled in any part of our Community, it is imperilled everywhere in it," he contended.
According to Ambassador Lynch, as an institution, Caricom cannot allow this to happen in any of its Member States.
"The Guyanese people deserve a credible and transparent process to put into office a legitimate government that they elected. Caricom takes its scrutineering role in this recount extremely seriously. We intend to see it through to a transparent and credible conclusion," the Barbadian diplomat stated.
Meanwhile, several of Guyana's bilateral partners, including Canada and the United States, as well as neighbouring Brazil have also commented on the issue.
Brazilian Ambassador to the OAS, Fernando Simas Magalhães said his country was closely watching developments here, noting that the recount was key for establishing political normalcy in Guyana and for there to be results that could be accepted by all the candidates and society at large.
Meanwhile, the Canadian Ambassador to the OAS, Hugh Adsett reiterated his country's position that the results of Guyana's elections were "long overdue" and that transparency of the process would be vital to ensure the legitimacy of the Government that would be sworn-in.
Additionally, Deputy US Permanent Representative to the OAS, Alexis Ludwig, described the report as "compelling and somewhat disturbing".
Ambassador Ludwig also expressed concerns that representatives from the Carter Center and the International Republic Institute (IRI) were disallowed from returning to Guyana to observe the recount.

As much as the threat of sanctions hangs over Guyana's head over electoral fraud, it is an option the United States is hopeful it will not have to use. This is according to US Ambassador to Guyana, Sarah-Ann Lynch.
During a local radio programme on Wednesday, Lynch explained that sanctions range in seriousness from targeted measures such as individual visa restrictions to financial measures that could impact the economy.
"You've seen some of the statements coming out of Washington. Secretary (of State Mike) Pompeo. Assistant Secretary (Michael) Kozak. The National Security Council. They have been very strong. And Secretary Pompeo did point to serious consequences if the democratic process, the rule of law, and the principles of democracy are not followed in Guyana.
"So, sanctions are a set of tools in the toolkit that potentially can be explored. Decisions on sanctions – first of all, they range from issues of visa restrictions to issues of financial measures. So, it's a range of things that can be discussed and looked into. And those decisions are made at the highest levels of the Government in Washington, with the inter-agency fully concurring."
According to her, it is still too early to say whether sanctions are likely to be applied. She pointed to the fact that for now, the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) appears to be doing its job and facilitating the recount to general satisfaction.
"We are hopeful though, that we don't have to go down that road. Even if they're at the ready, those tools, we don't want to go down that road. And we're in this recount process right now. My observation is that it's going well. GECOM is answering any issues that pop up, they're doing their best to answer and address them.
"They're looking into the issue of extending the (workstations). So, I think it's too early to say whether there would be any sanctions," she said.
Asked if there would be a timeline the US was looking at before drawing a line, she emphasised that the effort is a Guyanese-led one and the US did not have a specific timeline in mind.
It has already been over two months of controversy and a credible winner for the March 2 General and Regional Elections is yet to be declared. After two declarations from Region Four (Demerara-Mahaica) Returning Officer Clairmont Mingo, which lacked transparency, Opposition Leader Bharrat Jagdeo and caretaker President David Granger had agreed to have the Caribbean Community (Caricom) oversee the recount.
That agreement was derailed when A Partnership for National Unity/Alliance For Change (APNU/AFC) candidate Ulita Moore moved to the courts and secured an injunction against the exercise.
That injunction was discharged by the Full Court and later, the Full Court's decision was upheld by the Appeals Court. But by then, the Caricom team had long since left. GECOM re-invited them and the recount started last week with the understanding that it would last for 25 days.
In the meantime, countries and organisations from all around the world have said that the earlier tabulation process done by the GECOM lacked credibility. This is compounded by the warnings from several Governments, including the United States', that officials could face sanctions if President Granger is sworn in based on this questionable process.

Is China's Economy Running Away from President Xi Jinping?
China's stock turmoil last week sent a shockwave across the globe. Many are concerned that the world's second largest economy is on the verge of collapsing, and it may drag the rest of the world into a recession.
In an article by Wall Street Journal, The Consequences of China's Stock Slide for Top Leaders in Beijing, Russell Leigh Moses pointed out that China's top leaders have been sending conflicting messages regarding how to best handle the economy.
At this point, there is no clear indication which direction the leadership is leaning.
In another article, Andrew Browne wrote that Mr. Xi is "an inveterate micromanager." He has kept his Premier in the back seat. As a result, Mr. Li, who has a PhD. in economics and law, doesn't have much say in decision-making.
Perhaps the stock market chaos reflects a lack of confidence by investors that the person in charge of the Chinese economy does not know what he is doing?
Interestingly, the real Chinese economy, which has little connection with the stock market, "is actually looking up a bit." Consumer spending is still holding up, and inflation, although rising a little, is below the forecasted level. In fact, the latest data suggest that China's import and export are picking up since last summer's stock market crash. That means the economy is gradually improving. The residential real-estate market is also bouncing back.
Although there are serious challenges in the Chinese economy, there is still a lot of potential. For one, the Chinese middle class is more than a half billion strong, and should be able to generate enough demand to get the economy rolling.
The regulatory confusion reflects a contradiction at the heart of Chinese economic policy making, one that has Mr. Xi's stamp all over it. On the one hand, the Chinese leadership wants efficient markets to help pull China through the transition to consumer-led growth. Yet Beijing doesn't really trust free markets and prefers guiding them with regulation.

Logistics is a key factor in determining a company's success, since it impacts on delivery times, inventory levels, sales levels, and customer satisfaction. As a definition, logistics encompasses the activities concerned with efficiently delivering raw materials, parts, semi-finished items, and finished products to designated places, at designated times, and in proper condition.
It may be undertaken by any member of a distribution channel, from producer to consumer. Logistics involves such functions as customer service, shipping, warehousing, inventory control, private trucking-fleet operations, packaging, receiving, materials handling, and plant, warehouse, and store location planning.

2022 Activist in Residence to Offer Wednesday Zoom Workshops
Home » 2022 Activist in Residence to Offer Wednesday Zoom Workshops
For a ninth year, EWU's Department of Gender, Women's and Sexuality Studies and its Women's and Gender Education Center are teaming up to sponsor an Activist in Residence program for the Eastern campus.
Activist in Residence Shantell Jackson will lead a series of workshops and panel discussions.
This year's resident activist, multimedia artist and writer Shantell Jackson, will work with EWU students, staff, faculty and the greater community to focus on healing and building organizing skills.
Workshops and panel discussions will be held from 3:30 – 5 p.m. each Wednesday from Jan. 26-March 2 (except for Feb. 23). All sessions will be offered via Zoom, and are free and open to the public.
Jackson, who currently serves as the program director of Spokane Arts, has 17 years of experience in higher education, where she has created academic and multicultural programing to help students better understand themselves and others. Jackson has also recently worked with Spectrum Center Spokane to facilitate training programs such as LGBTQ+ Safe Spaces, Identity 101 and Allyship.
Her creative work includes installations and performance-art pieces that explore the human condition while encouraging dialogues across differences, bridge building and forging acceptance and healing.
The interactive Zoom workshops will help enrich participants' understanding of social justice and encourage them to explore new ways of engaging in strategies for change. Participants will be encouraged to interact and share stories, organizers say.
Many EWU faculty are offering students extra credit or other incentives to participate.
Registration is free and covers all Activist in Residence events. Those participating in four or more sessions will receive an Activist in Residence certificate. For questions or to arrange a class or group visit, email Lisa Logan at llogan83@ewu.edu. A printable poster is available here.
Activist in Residence Sessions include the following:
Jan. 26 – Setting the Stage for Healing in Activism
What is activism and why should we discuss its overlap with healing? This session will help participants understand the context of this contemporary discussion. Who is healing and what are they healing from? Come learn about "Healing Justice," and start to think about its application.
Feb. 2 – Race and Activism: History & Definitions
Learn more about the history of race and activism. Where do these two ideas converge? What has the work been and where is it going? Why is race an important part of the conversation?
Feb. 9 – Centering Healing for Survival & Community
Healing is essential for both the individual and the collective, especially for those impacted by systems of oppression. In this panel, we ask: "What does centering healing and survival look like and how can we foster spaces for healing?"
Feb. 16 – Power and Privilege in Activist Communities: For Better or Worse
We can learn to use our power to make a difference and to aid in the healing of historically marginalized communities. Sustained change can result from using our privilege as a tool for activism. However, power can also lead to negative changes when we co-opt movements. Learn how to recognize the difference and avoid harm.
March 2 – Intersections of Identity: Individual & Collective Healing
Participants will take the knowledge and themes discussed during the program and think about long-term applications as activists, allies and community leaders. This will be an opportunity to learn from experienced community leaders, and to be introduced to strategies and practices that have been successful in fostering both individual and collective healing.

A man who has spent more than 36 years behind bars for murder was wrongfully convicted and is expected to be released next week. But prosecutors, who said newly tested DNA evidence does not match the man, are leaving the door open for a new trial.
Michael Ray Hanline, 68, was convicted of first-degree murder in the 1978 shooting death of Ventura resident J.T. McGarry, also known as Mike Mathers.
Prosecutors alleged at the time that Hanline was in a "love triangle" with Mathers. Hanline was convicted and sentenced in 1980 to life in prison without the possibility of parole after a jury found him guilty of the murder charge and a special circumstance that he committed it in the course of a burglary.
But according to Ventura County Dist. Atty. Gregory D. Totten, new evidence has emerged that "casts doubt upon" the verdict. DNA evidence collected at the crime scene does not match Hanline's or his alleged accomplice, according to court documents.
Several sealed police reports also were uncovered. The reports cast doubt on testimony by Hanline's then-girlfriend, Mary Bischoff, who was granted immunity and was a key witness during the trial.
The police reports could have been used to diminish Bischoff's credibility, or suggest that Hanline could have been framed for the murder, but were not disclosed to Hanline's defense attorneys at the time.
Ventura County prosecutors also revealed in court documents filed last week that interviews with several people over the last few months suggest several other individuals had motives and the means to kill McGarry. The interviews also revealed that witnesses had been threatened and discouraged from cooperating with prosecutors, the documents said.
Mathers disappeared on Nov. 10, 1978. Police found his body two days later off Highway 33 with .38-caliber gunshot wounds to his neck and chest.
Bischoff, who was living with Hanline in the San Fernando Valley at the time, testified in court that she had complained to him that Mathers still had thousands of dollars of money she and the victim had skimmed from motorcycle swap meets they'd helped run.
Bischoff also said she'd seen Hanline leaving their home with a .38 caliber gun the night of the murder, something she'd denied in earlier testimony, and that he'd returned wet and muddy.
Hanline claimed he had been home all night working on motorcycles in his garage, leaving only briefly to get some beer.
Bischoff testified that she had been smoking pot laced with PCP and had used cocaine the night of the murder. Bischoff was also under the influence of drugs during trial, according to court documents, and the judge had to adjourn court as a result.
In addition to her testimony, prosecutors presented as evidence the fact that some of Mathers' belongings had been discovered in a stolen van that Bischoff, Hanline, and his alleged accomplice, Dennis "Bo" Messer had been driving.
Police had said the three had gone to Mathers' home the day his body was discovered so Bischoff, who had been living there, could pick up her belongings. They later used Mathers' credit card to pay for a hotel room on their way to San Francisco.
A judge later determined that there wasn't enough evidence to try Messer. Bischoff, who was granted immunity in exchange for her testimony, never faced charges, either.
A federal judge recommended in 2010 that Hanline's conviction be set aside, and that he be retried. But a U.S. district judge refused the recommendation in 2011, prosecutors say. Last week, a Ventura County superior court judge set aside the conviction and sentence, scheduling a court hearing for Nov. 24.
While prosecutors agree that Hanline should be released due to "flaws" in the trial, they say they're not ready to drop the case yet.
Michael Schwartz, a prosecutor on the case, says the Ventura County district attorney's office plans to ask for a retrial date to be set several months from now, while they continue investigating.
"It's an ongoing and active investigation at this point," Schwartz said, and new effort has been put into the case since the DNA results came in. New arrests could still be made in the case, Schwartz said.
The California Innocence Project, which has worked on Hanline's case since 1999, says Hanline would be the longest-serving wrongfully convicted inmate in state history to be released.
"It's amazing that Mike will finally be released after 36 years of wrongful incarceration," said Justin Brooks, the director of the project at California Western School of Law, in a statement. "It's time for him to get back to his family and his life."
Simpson said that despite what prosecutors say, he believes Hanline is innocent. "Ever since we started looking into this case, it just never really made sense to us," Simpson said.
According to Rebecca Silbert with the California Wrongful Convictions Project at the UC Berkeley School of Law, the only other inmate to serve as long for a wrongful conviction in California was Kash Delano Register, who was released in 2013 after spending more than 34 years in prison.
Hanline is scheduled to appear in court for a hearing Monday, where his bail and a new date for retrial could be set.


I discovered that Bach's Cantatas are a gold mine of melodies and a surprising variety of styles, contrapuntal techniques and other delights. I have examined many of his Cantata scores and gradually selected episodes that I could transcribe and produce using my collection of sampled instruments and multitrack recording methods of performing. I look forward to more years of pleasurable hours creating unique Bach performances.
The Cantatas have been separated into Sacred and Secular groups. Here is an overview: "Bach's religious cantatas vary greatly in form and instrumentation. Some of them are only for a solo singer; some are single choruses; some are for orchestras, some only a few instruments are scored. A very common format, however, includes a large opening chorus followed by one or more recitative-aria pairs for soloists (or duets), and a concluding chorale. The recitative is part of the corresponding Bible reading for the week and the aria is a contemporary reflection on it. The melody of the concluding chorale often appears as a cantus firmus in the opening movement."
Bach wrote a number of secular cantatas, usually for civic events such as council inaugurations. These also include wedding cantatas, the Peasant Cantata and the Coffee Cantata. A Bach Cantata was usually written for a small orchestra that consisted of violins, viola, cello and bass violin, a harpsichord, up to four singers, trumpets, oboe, tympani, and often, an organ continuo. Bach wrote for the musicians he had available to perform, often re-voicing parts as required. In addition to counterpoint, he harmonized using triads and octave duplications. Some of his orchestration duplicates parts probably to increase volume or to compensate for weak performers.
As I progressed through the Bach catalogue, I discovered relatively short jewels buried in long works that were designed for church services. I realized that changes in tempo, voicing and articulation could transform the pieces into new compositions suitable for a 21st century audience.
My approach to a Bach score is to find the really interesting melodies and counterpoint first and assign these parts to the new instruments in my orchestra. I omit many parts that seem distracting or non-essential. Some of the string parts are fast, articulated passages that can become tedious. I reassign these passages to a variety of keyboards that perform the fast notes with greater precision. I delight (as Glen Gould did ) in giving each note individual attention by fine tuning the articulation and duration during editing. Compared with the rich sounds of a grand piano or a well formed electronic piano, the harpsichord has a thin sound, cannot sustain notes and has little resonance.
Trumpets in Bach's time were not fully chromatic, had limited range and were used mostly for their open notes. I used my rich sounding flugelhorn simulation with a full chromatic range to replace the soprano and alto parts and sometimes the first violin's parts that contain melody and/or distinct counterpoint. The bass parts are played by a variety of instruments especially a plucked acoustic bass, bass guitars, and synthesized instruments.

Why are Dutch women happier than Canadian women?
We've already been told that French women don't get fat. But did you know that Dutch women don't get depressed? It's true - the Netherlands consistently ranks among the top five countries for women
Caroline Cakebread Updated November 18, 2010
We've already been told that French women don't get fat. But did you know that Dutch women don't get depressed? It's true – the Netherlands consistently ranks among the top five countries for women.
According to this article, it could be because the vast majority of them don't work as much as we do in the rest of the world: in fact, fewer than 10 percent of Dutch women are employed full-time. They don't make as much as men, they don't have fancy titles – and that's the way they like it. Fewer than 4 percent of women in the Netherlands wish they had more hours or increased responsibility at work – even when it's offered to them.
Instead of working, the author of the article says she sees women in cafes with friends during weekday afternoons or spending time gardening, painting, playing with their kids….anything but working.
It sounds like bliss – but it also sounds worlds away from the work experience of the average Canadian woman. A 2004 study found that one out of five working women in Canada suffer from depression and anxiety. Going by the women I know (myself included) I can see why. The majority of my working girlfriends tend to work late. Those who are mothers often work into the night after they put their kids to bed. We work on weekends too.
And most of us aren't happy about it – we complain about the lack of sleep and the constant pursuit of that elusive state of "balance."
Whether we're striving for money, status or security, something isn't right here. So is it time for Canadian women to go Dutch in their careers? And what would you do with an afternoon off? Maybe I'll knock off early to find out….
What do you think? Would you like to work less or is striving for success in your job a top priority?

IRISH FILM ARCHIVE: Sally's Irish Rogue
Director: George Pollock
1958 • BLACK AND WHITE • 74 MIN
As part of our series to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Ardmore Studios, this month the Irish Film Archive presents Sally's Irish Rogue, digitally re-mastered from elements preserved at the British Film Institute. The first Ardmore film production to be released in cinemas, Sally's Irish Rogue received its world premiere at the 1958 Cork Film Festival. Based on the George Shiels' stage play The New Gossoon and directed by George Pollock, it was one of the few Irish-made films of the 1950s to get an American release, probably due to the popularity at the time of its star, Julie Harris. Harris (the Sally of the title) is engaged to the roguish, restless Luke (Tim Seely) who is more interested in motorcycles and other women than in settling down or the farm he is about to inherit.
