Victor (oder: Viktor) Ernst Nessler (eigentlich: Neßler; französisch Victor Erneste Nessler) (* 28. Januar 1841 in Baldenheim bei Schlettstadt; † 28. Mai 1890 in Straßburg) war ein deutscher Komponist.

Leben

Kindheit und Jugend
Nessler war das fünfte Kind des Pfarrers Carl Ferdinand Nessler und dessen Ehefrau Wilhelmine geborene Kampmann. Mütterlicherseits war er entfernt verwandt mit Ludwig van Beethoven. Seine Kindheit verlebte er in Barr, wohin sein Vater bald nach seiner Geburt versetzt worden war. Bereits mit drei Jahren zeigte sich Victors außergewöhnliches musikalisches Talent, als er ohne jede Anleitung, nur durch Beobachten seiner älteren Schwester, Klavier zu spielen begann. Seit seinem achten Lebensjahr erhielt Victor Klavierunterricht und machte darin schnelle Fortschritte, doch lehnte sein Vater es ab, ihn öffentliche Konzerte geben zu lassen, da er wünschte, dass sein Sohn in seine Fußstapfen als Pfarrer treten sollte.

Seit 1854 besuchte Victor Nessler das evangelische Gymnasium in Straßburg. In dieser Zeit trat er in den Chor "Sternenkränzel" ein, den der bekannte Organist und Komponist Georg Friedrich Theophil Stern leitete. Hier lernte er auch seine spätere Ehefrau kennen.

Theologiestudium in Straßburg
Dem Wunsch seines Vaters entsprechend, studierte Nessler nach dem Schulabschluss evangelische Theologie an der Universität Straßburg. 1861 trat er in die Schwarzburgbund-Verbindung Wilhelmitana Straßburg ein, für die er auch das Bundeslied komponierte. Zugleich nahm er Privatstunden im Komponieren bei seinem Chorleiter Stern. Mit seiner Hilfe und Unterstützung konnte Nessler erfolgreich als Musiker debütieren. Nessler vertonte in dieser Zeit mehrere Psalmen (u. a. den 125., 136. und 137.) sowie zahlreiche weitere Texte mit religiösem Inhalt.

Während des Studiums befreundete sich Nessler mit seinem Theologie-Kommilitonen Edmund Febvrel. Dieser schrieb nebenher ein Libretto für eine Oper über Fleurette de Nérac, die Jugendliebe des französischen Königs Heinrich IV. Hierzu komponierte Nessler die Musik, und am 15. März 1864 wurde die Oper Fleurette am Städtischen Theater in Straßburg uraufgeführt. Die Premiere geriet zu einem großen Erfolg, führte aber beinahe zur Zwangsexmatrikulation beider Urheber. Als Nessler freiwillig ausschied, durfte Febvrel sein Theologiestudium fortsetzen. Er wurde später Prediger in St. Dié-des Vosges, starb jedoch früh.

Musikerlaufbahn in Leipzig
Nesler beschloss nach diesem Vorfall, dem Theologiestudium ganz den Rücken zu kehren und hauptberuflich Musiker zu werden, und lernte zunächst bei dem Komponisten Ludwig Liebe in Straßburg. Der junge Komponist ging daraufhin nach Leipzig, wo er sich hauptsächlich von Eduard Bernsdorf und Moritz Hauptmann weiter ausbilden ließ, aber auch Inspirationen von anderen Komponisten empfing, unter ihnen Ferdinand David, Ignaz Moscheles, Carl Reinecke und Salomon Jadassohn. Seinen Lebensunterhalt sicherte sich Nessler einstweilen als Musiklehrer.

Neslers Hauptinteresse galt zunächst der Komposition von Chorwerken, und so wurde er der Leiter mehrerer Männergesangsvereine, was schließlich 1880 darin mündete, dass er die Leitung von deren Dachverband, dem Leipziger Sänger-Bund, übernahm.

1867 feierte er mit seiner romantischen Zauberoper Dornröschens Brautfahrt erneut einen großen Erfolg. Es folgten zwei weitere einaktige Opern, Am Alexandertag und Nachtwächter und Student, sowie die Operette Die Hochzeitsreise. Diese Werke, aber auch die folgende Oper Irmingard wurden vom Publikum zwar wohlwollend aufgenommen, aber der ganz große Erfolg blieb ihnen versagt. 1870 wurde Nessler als Chordirigent  und Musikdirektor an das Leipziger Stadttheater verpflichtet, wo er bis 1879 blieb. Anschließend übernahm er die Aufgaben eines Kapellmeisters am Carola-Theater (Leipzig).

Schließlich schlug die am 19. März 1879 in Leipzig uraufgeführte Oper Der Rattenfänger von Hameln beim Publikum glänzend ein. Im Volksmund wurde er liebevoll "der Vogesenbär" oder auch doppelsinnig-spaßhaft "Viktor der Lieder-liche" genannt, und zu seinem 41. Geburtstag organisierte man eine große Feier mit Fackelzug, an der Hunderte teilnahmen.

Nach weiteren, allerdings weniger spektakulären Erfolgen erlebte Nessler am 4. Mai 1884 mit seiner Oper Der Trompeter von Säckingen (Schreibweise damals: Säkkingen) einen sensationellen Erfolg, der ihn quasi über Nacht im gesamten deutschsprachigen Raum bekannt machte und bereits 1887 auch in der Metropolitan Opera in New York City aufgeführt wurde. Insbesondere die Arie daraus: Das ist im Leben hässlich eingerichtet brachte es zu volksliedhafter Popularität, und ihr Kehrreim: "Behüt dich Gott, es wär zu schön gewesen, behüt dich Gott, es hat nicht sollen sein" wurde geradezu sprichwörtlich bekannt; das Lied ist auch weiterhin im Repertoire zahlreicher Musiker enthalten. Bis heute ist es die Erkennungsmelodie der Stadtmusik Bad Säckingen, einem der größten Blasorchester im südbadischen Raum: dessen – in der Regel historisch gekleideter – erster Trompeter betätigt sich mit dem Lied als musikalischer Botschafter der Stadt.

1886 folgte die Oper Otto der Schütz, die sich aber als nicht wirklich zugkräftig erwies und deren Titel gelegentlich zu "Oh toter Schütz" ironisch umgedeutet wurde.

Lebensabend in Straßburg
1888 verließ Nessler Leipzig und kehrte ins Elsass zurück. Er ließ sich in Straßburg nieder; in seiner letzten Oper, Die Rose von Straßburg, verarbeitete er Ereignisse aus dem Elsass (darunter die Hirsebreifahrt) nach dem Vorbild der Meistersinger von Nürnberg des von ihm bewunderten Richard Wagner. Die Oper wurde in Nesslers Anwesenheit 1890 in München uraufgeführt; die Aufnahme beim Publikum war allerdings verhalten: u. a. wurde die Nähe zu Wagner nicht überall günstig aufgenommen.

Kurz nach seiner Rückkehr aus München erlag Nessler einem Herz- und Nierenleiden (anderen Angaben zufolge einer Leberentzündung) in Straßburg. Auf dem dortigen Cimetière Saint-Gall fand er auch seine letzte Ruhestätte (Sektion 6-2-6/7).

Persönliches
Bereits in früher Jugend verliebte sich Victor Nessler in eine gleichaltrige Mitsängerin im Straßburger "Sternenkränzel" (s. o.), Maria Margarethe Julie Ehrmann (1841–1920). Ihr widmete er seine ersten Kompositionen und verlobte sich 1861 heimlich mit ihr. Allerdings waren ihre Eltern mit der Verbindung zunächst nicht einverstanden, so dass die Hochzeit erst am 27. Mai 1872 stattfinden konnte. Das Paar wurde von Victor Nesslers eigenem Vater in der Straßburger Nicolaikirche getraut.

Nach dem Tod ihres Mannes 1890 zog die Witwe nach Berlin. Julie und Victor Nesslers Sohn Ernst (1873–1934) wurde dort als Schauspieler und Theaterregisseur bekannt.

Nesslers gesamter Nachlass wurde 1912 von seiner Familie der Universität und Landesbibliothek in Leipzig als Geschenk überlassen.

Ehrungen
Fünf Jahre nach seinem Todestag wurde ein Denkmal im Orangerie-Park in Straßburg enthüllt. Es handelt sich um eine Büste auf einem aufwendig gestalteten Sandsteinpostament. Das Denkmal wurde von Adolf Marzloff, einem Straßburger Künstler, gestaltet.

Im sog. Musikerviertel der Straßburger Neustadt ist eine Straße nach Nessler benannt.

Am 27. November 2016 wurde neben dem Rathaus in Nesslers Geburtsort Baldenheim ein zweiteiliges Denkmal enthüllt: Auf zwei gegenüberstehenden Säulen befinden sich eine überlebensgroße Bronzeplastik des Komponisten und eine (deutlich kleinere, ebenfalls bronzene) Figur des Trompeters von Säckingen. Das Ensemble ist das Werk des Colmarer Bildhauers Jean-Luc Schické.

Q: Spaces at the start of every other line in a for loop I'm attempting to get spaces at the beginning of every other line of the output of this program:
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Checkerboard
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        int num;

        Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);

        System.out.println ("What is the integer?");
        num = input.nextInt();

        for (int x = 0; x < num; x++)
        {
            for (int y = 0; y < num; y++)
            {
                System.out.print("A ");
             }
         System.out.println(" ");
        }
    }
}

The output of this program, if the user enters "4" for example, is:
A A A A A
A A A A A
A A A A A
A A A A A

I'm trying to get it to look like this:
A A A A A
 A A A A A
A A A A A
 A A A A A

A: Print the extra space only for even values of x
for (int x = 0; x < num; x++)
{
    for (int y = 0; y < num; y++)
    {
         System.out.print("A ");
    }
    System.out.println("");
    if (x % 2 == 0){
         System.out.print(" ");
    }
}

To be more explicit, the % operator (modulus) will return the remainder of a division operation.  So any even number modulu 2 will return 0.  Otherwise it would return 1.  13 % 10 == 3 because 13 / 10 = 1 remainder of 3.

Little drop of poison on Katrina benefit cd
According to Billboard, Little drop of poison, an ,,exclusive'' Waits track featuring the Kronos Quartet, leads the lineup for an upcoming double-disc compilation to support the Katrina victims. The album from clothing retailer Urban Outfitters and Filter magazine is said to be available mid-October.
(thanks to M.)
So he's recorded Little Drop of Poison 3 times. That's pretty nuts. Imagine if he did an album of him covering his own older songs? Can't wait to hear it.
I am guessing this is the live version he did in 2003, with the Kronos Quartet, at the Healing the Divide benefit show in NYC. I have an audience recording of it, it's a very cool show and a great track.

Cape Town Up Close
What every visitor needs to know
Up Close in Muizenberg, the best kept secret of Cape Town
September 26, 2017 [email protected] 1 Comment
Getting into the community
Since I became a member of The Hive at the beginning of August , I have been visiting Muizenberg, Cape Town almost daily. The Hive as a community hub offers a shared work-space at a rate far less than its value. 'Creatives', artists, writers, photographers, those passionate about Muizenberg Cape Town and social change converge in this unique space to share, experience, inspire and to be inspired in various ways by locals and foreigners.
Muizenberg Cape Town is artistic and diverse
It is a hub of an inter-connected web of change and social development which is especially appreciated in artistic communities. Emerging artists mingle with the more experienced and established with a focus to help and improve.
Lake and sea in Muizenberg
With long white hair in a pony-tail, comic artist Andy Mason aka, ND Mazin prepared for the first event of the Muizenberg Cape Town festival…an art show. The amazing artwork that appeared from a back room piqued my curiosity which led to an interview with Andy and his assistant Robyn Hosking.
Passionate about art, community, human potential and a love for Muizenberg, Andy, Robyn et al seek to reveal Cape Town's best kept secret in full colour.
Bringing back the Rainbow Nation
Muizenberg is great for easy surfing
While surfing on his big old surfboard in Muizenberg, Cape Town, on a beautiful day after early morning rain, Andy just had to stop and stare at a bright, clear, rainbow that suddenly appeared over the mountains and ended right over Stoked Backpackers. He immediately noticed other surfers and beach goers also staring into the sky. Some even claimed an out-of-body experience.
Kids integrate seemlessly
That rainbow stole the show from the easy waves of Muizenberg, leaving an indelible impression on the privileged few of that morning.
Muizenberg, Cape Town is the gentle reminder of what South Africa could be like
For South Africa, the rainbow is highly symbolic since 'we are supposed to be known as the 'Rainbow Nation'', Andy said. Over the years since 1994, people started to speak of the 'Rainbow Nation Myth', mocking the very idea of the ideal of a united, colourful, beautiful society. Sad for believers of democracy! Andy, Robyn et al have a plea and dream of 're-illusionment' – to bring back the Rainbow Nation. Muizenberg, the best kept secret of Cape Town, is the gentle reminder of what South Africa could be like.
What to find in Muizenberg Cape Town
Muizenberg calm and easy
Muizenberg is:
A cultural outlet for an unusually active artistic community.
An integrated community in the way of the kind of people that gravitate to Muizenberg for various reasons
A melting pot of cultural activity.
Participatory for people from all walks of life
Both Andy and Robyn are working towards Muizenberg becoming the go-to place to experience cultural expression, beach and mountain; reminiscent of San Francisco.
Muizenberg offers:
Muizenberg from the mountain
Mountain: A variety of easy to hard hikes to catch great views.
Vlei (Marchland) best kept in Falsebay, home for unique flora and a safe haven for birds.
History: battle of Muizenberg
Historical Mile between Muizenberg and St James
Rhodes cottage: Cecil Rhodes beach
Casa Labia (1929) Home of Count and Countess Natale Labia
Pre-history: people lived in the mountains for many thousands of years.

DC, Stew's Reviews
Stew's Reviews: Flash – Blitz
Devotees of my podcast will know I have something of a reputation on our show of being "The DC Guy", and specifically as "The Flash Guy". That mostly came about as when I was in college, my Marvel reading had all but fallen off the face of the Earth, while I started getting seriously into DC for the first time ever. I was entering DC in the era of Geoff Johns' Flash (and his JSA, for that matter,), Judd Winick's Green Lantern, Peter David's Young Justice, and Chuck Dixon's Robin. Those were the every-week pulls of my DC era, and Johns' Flash stands out to me as the best of the lot. Ask me what some of my absolute top-of-the-mountain comic runs are, and I offer back Bendis on Ultimate Spider-Man, Whedon on Astonishing X-Men, and Johns on Flash. That was some great stuff.
So it dawned on me that I should talk about some of it, right? But what parts? The Rogues War? The creepy Cicada story arc? There are a lot of good stories, but one… one just seemed more prominent than any other. By a hair, though. All of it is so good. Love that run. Ha! "Run". On The Flash. That's almost a pun.
TITLE: Flash: Blitz
Writer and Artist: Geoff Johns and Scott Kolins
Publisher: DC
Protagonists: Wally West, the one true only Flash that matters.
Antagonists: Zoom
I think everything Johns did while writing the Flash was great. So of course, I'm going to start off discussing the art.
Scott Kolins' art is a god damn treat. I've read precious few other books he has ever worked on, but that's not because I'm avoiding them; he's just not a guy that gets ton of press when he starts a new project, unfortunately. His work is cartoonish and bright and so, so expressive. Characters convey so much emotion in Kolins' facial art, and even though it is sometimes a bit comically overdone, you are never left wondering about if a character is having the appropriate reaction to something. His pages are also exceptionally kinetic and full of energy; his action sets are glorious and vicious. And while his art is, as I mentioned, bright and colorful and cartoonish, he can simultaneously achieve that looks and make characters like Grodd out to be the nightmarish monsters they have every right to be. Kolins' Grodd—with a blood-drenched mouth—will always be what I instantly recall when I picture that beast.
So aside from how much I adore the art, Blitz is the telling of how Flash's one-time ally, Hunter Zolomon, became one of his most dangerous foes. Having just been crippled by the aforementioned Grodd, Hunter begs Flash to use the Cosmic Treadmill to go back in time and fix Hunter's many mistakes. It's not entirely a selfish act by Solomon either, as his tragic life story is revealed. It turns out that Hunter used to be a prominent criminal profiler (you know… like this guys on Criminal Minds. I bet he solved all his cases by asking people to close their eyes), and he worked on a task squad with his wife and father-in-law. They were tracking down a Joker-wannabe named The Clown, and Hunter insisted that, based on the profile he came up with, The Clown would not be armed. So they broke in, The Clown actually was, and Hunter's father-in-law was killed. This was the first of many dominoes that fell in Hunter's life, and he figured Wally could help right everything by fixing this moment. But Wally refuses, so Zolomon tries it himself. The Treadmill goes boom, and we get a new Zoom.
Zoom as a villain is interesting. He's not abjectly evil, but neither is he the kind of villain who does wrong for warped reasons wherein he thinks he is in the right. Solomon knows he is doing evil as Zoom, but his rationale is that he needs to do it—he needs to give Wally tragedy to experience—so that The Flash can be the best hero he can be. So he's given these abilities, but he doesn't use them to be a hero… he uses them to put the hero through hell so that the hero comes out the other side in a superior fashion. It's depressing because it means Hunter knows he isn't the hero of his own story, but he's not a crazy psychopath either; he thinks so little of himself that he feels his best use is as a tool in Wally West's life. This actually fits with Hunter's character, especially after the reveal of his backstory, because he's so scarred by what happened to his father-in-law, that he knows he isn't ultimately responsible enough himself.
Zoom delivers the tragedy to Wally, too, over the course of four issues: the battle against Zoom renders Jesse Quick powerless, he pummels and humiliates Bart Allen, and with a snap his fingers, he creates a sonic boom that causes Linda West to miscarry her and Wally's twins. Even in the face of this, Wally uses as much mercy as he can muster and defeats Zolomon without killing him, instead trapping him in a timeloop. There are repercussions to this story, too, when Flash goes to The Spectre and wishes to have all of the Flashes' identities stricken from public memory (a weird side effect to this sees Wally and Linda themselves forget he is The Flash temporarily).
All in all, it's a high quality story from Johns to lead into Flash #200. Hunter Solomon is a sad and pathetic, yet dangerously powerful figure who is given the power to make amends for his own mistakes but is too broken to take advantage of it. Wally faces a terrible loss, but from that, meets with Barry Allen again and makes a life-altering decision. And all of the existing Flash family—Wally, Jay Garrick, Bart, and Jesse—have to unite to face down the new iteration of Zoom. This story really cemented that Johns was the right choice to handle The Flash after Mark Waid left.
Talking Point: That last bit there… Johns put together a legendary run on Flash right after Mark Waid left from his own epic run. Those are two fantastic bodies of work on one title back-to-back. So what other examples of that in comic history are you a fan of?
Johns' stretch on Wally West' life is a 10/10, but for this sage, I knocked it down just a hair because there's something missing… no rogues! Geoff breathed new life into Captain Cold, Mirror Master, The Trickster, and others, and any time they are M.I.A., things lose just a touch of their charm. This is still a high recommendation, though!

How Global Governance Can Address Climate Change
David Langness | Sep 13, 2020
PART 5 IN SERIES Climate and the Human Spirit
Imagine this – one of the world's largest countries has a major outbreak of a dread disease, so its government orders a solution: every region of the country should treat the disease as it sees fit.
In some ways, that's exactly what the world has done to address climate change – we've attempted to deal with a global problem using a fragmented nation-based approach.
Various countries have passed and implemented strict environmental laws – but not all countries. Some international treaties have been signed by most countries – but some have since pulled out, and most have not met their agreed-upon emissions goals, or even seriously tried to.
The world's major contributors to the problem of climate change, the so-called "gross emitter" nations – China, the United States, India, the Russian Federation, and Japan – have adopted wildly varying approaches to the issue, without much coordination or agreement.
The main victims of climate change so far – the low-lying island nations and the world's poorest and least powerful countries – have had little or no say in proposing or implementing solutions.
This all seems pretty backward, doesn't it? In fact, it looks like a recipe for failure.
By now, most people understand that climate change represents one of the first truly global human problems. We've had world wars and other worldwide issues, but none of them has faced all nations equally, or potentially impacted every person on the planet. This one does, or soon will. When CO2 and other greenhouse gas levels rise, our world heats up. That warming has begun, and the science shows it will continue and likely get much worse, unless we act. By "we," the scientists say, they mean the entirety of the human species – all of us.
The Baha'i teachings have a recommendation:
Today the most remarkable favour of God centereth around union and harmony … so that this unity and concord may be the cause of the promulgation of the oneness of the world of humanity, may emancipate the world from this intense darkness of enmity and rancour, and that the Sun of Truth may shine in full and perfect effulgence.
Consider this: a global problem, by definition, requires a global solution. No purely local, regional or national solution can ever solve the world-encircling conundrum of climate change. Since everyone on Earth breathes the same air, and since the Earth's atmosphere knows no national boundaries or borders, we must deal with the challenge of global warming in a global way. No unenforceable voluntary treaty among some number of nations will ever suffice. No single country can ever dictate policy to all other countries. No existing political system of governance could conceivably impose its will on all other systems.
We have reached a tipping point in human evolution, when our planetary problems have outstripped the abilities of our limited and localized governance structures. We've restricted and constrained our collective potential for action by trying to fight 21st century battles with 18th century weapons.
Obviously, then, we need a system of global governance – a federation of nations who have agreed to cede some of their sovereignty and decision-making ability to a parliament that speaks for all people:
… the Supreme Tribunal which Baha'u'llah has described will fulfil this sacred task with the utmost might and power. And His plan is this: that the national assemblies of each country and nation – that is to say parliaments – should elect two or three persons who are the choicest of that nation, and are well informed concerning international laws and the relations between governments and aware of the essential needs of the world of humanity in this day. The number of these representatives should be in proportion to the number of inhabitants of that country. … From among these people the members of the Supreme Tribunal will be elected, and all mankind will thus have a share therein, for every one of these delegates is fully representative of his nation. When the Supreme Tribunal gives a ruling on any international question, either unanimously or by majority rule, there will no longer be any pretext for the plaintiff or ground of objection for the defendant. In case any of the governments or nations, in the execution of the irrefutable decision of the Supreme Tribunal, be negligent or dilatory, the rest of the nations will rise up against it, because all the governments and nations of the world are the supporters of this Supreme Tribunal. Consider what a firm foundation this is! – Abdu'l-Baha, Selections from the Writings of Abdu'l-Baha
In other words, humanity desperately needs a representative body whose responsibility includes the entire planet. To protect and preserve the Earth's fragile environment, which all life depends on, we must have a global governance system prepared to thoughtfully, carefully and scientifically oversee, regulate and limit the use of our natural resources. Today, no one group has that purview, which means that the planet itself lacks advocates who can effectively protect it, legislate for it, and hold it in trust for future generations of our progeny. The Baha'i teachings call for the establishment of a world government, and say that only global unity can solve our global issues:
… therein lie the welfare, security and true interests of all men; otherwise the earth will be tormented by a fresh calamity every day and unprecedented commotions will break out. God grant that the people of the world may be graciously aided to preserve the light of His loving counsels within the globe of wisdom. We cherish the hope that everyone may be adorned with the vesture of true wisdom, the basis of the government of the world.
What could possibly be more important?
Only one grassroots group of millions of people in every part of the planet now works toward that goal of global governance: the worldwide Baha'i community. If you'd like to see an effective world parliament emerge, and believe, as Baha'is do, that world unity and a world federation of nations offer humanity the best possible chance for dealing with climate change, please join us.

How long will humanity persist in its waywardness? How long will injustice continue? How long is chaos and confusion to reign amongst men? How long will discord agitate the face of society?... The winds of despair are, alas, blowing from every direction, and the strife that divideth and afflicteth the human race is daily increasing. The signs of impending convulsions and chaos can now be discerned, inasmuch as the prevailing order appeareth to be lamentably defective.

The reference is a letter written on behalf of the Universal House of Justice by Department of the Secretariat dated 22 October 1985 in response to my question "about the process of election of the Supreme Tribunal with reference to an entry on page 7 of the Compilation on Peace." The question was referred to the Research Department for study. Its memorandum to the House of Justice dated 22 October 1985, enclosed with the Secretariat letter to me, confirms the reexamination and modification of the translation of the segment, which I have already shared. The memorandum ...also says: "The Publishing Trusts will be informed of the change for the next printing of the book [SWA] and a correction made to the Peace compilation."
Thank you, Baharieh! Much appreciated, and we will add the corrected text you supplied, along with the reference.
Thank you, David, for your enlightening contributions. The passage from SELECTIONS FROM THE WRITINGS OF `ABDU'L-BAHA, PP. 306-307 about the Supreme Tribunal conveys "an exclusivity not implied by the original Persian text." The mistranslation was corrected in October 1985. The corrected extract reads: "And His plan is this: that the national assemblies of each country and nation -- that is to say parliaments -- should elect two or three persons who are the choicest of that nation, and are well informed concerning international laws and the relations between governments and aware of the essential ...needs of the world of humanity in this day." I would be happy to provide reference for the correction.

History Behind The Headlines	Modern History	by Christopher S. Byrne	on August 12, 2019 add comment	Jewishness Race Relations Act Situation Comedy Till Death Us Do Part 4631 views
Last week's news story about a Labour councillor suggesting that Rachel Riley might cause 'another Jo Cox moment' through her campaigning against antisemitism in the Labour Party, is just the latest in a series of incidents that has led to increased concern for the individual and communal safety of British and European Jewry in the wake of increasing populism. This brings to mind other historical moments when Jews and Jewishness have been implicated in discourses around broader political issues.
There is an uncertainty then, not only for Jews but about Jews and Jewishness. The Polish-Jewish philosopher Zygmunt Baumann once commented that the central element of the relationship between Jew and Gentile in Modern Europe was not antisemitism but allosemitism: the belief that, no matter what else the Jews were, they were fundamentally, irrevocably, different, defying the modern idée fixe of categorisation and compartmentalisation. 1
This idea of Jewish 'otherness' has manifested itself in the unlikeliest of places as my research into the debates around the Race Relations Act 1965 and contemporary situation comedies has shown. Even in the context of the British State purportedly seeking to mitigate the effects of 'difference' there is evidence to show that the Jews simply did not 'fit'.
In introducing the Race Relations Bill 1965, then Home Secretary Frank Soskice commented that:
It is certainly the intention of the government that people of the Jewish faith should be covered […] [they] would have an origin which many people would describe as an ethnic if not a racial one. 2
There are several elements worth unpicking in this short quotation. Not only does Soskice first define the Jews theologically (going against the terms of the Bill which did not include religion as a legitimate ground for protection); he then goes on to problematise this seemingly unambivalent definition by identifying the Jews both ethnically and racially: neither of which are defined in any substantive terms.
Perhaps more importantly, Soskice simultaneously marks British Jewry as different—'people of the Jewish faith should be covered' [my emphasis]—and either dilutes or outright revokes their agency in determining what defines them as a group—'an origin which many people would describe…'. Sadly, these are discourses that regularly appear throughout these seemingly well-intentioned Acts which, when analysed through the lens of Jewishness, come to be seen as more problematic than originally thought: as an operation of power rather than of protection.
That Soskice was even compelled to make such a pronouncement however, demonstrates the uncertainty with which the Jews and Jewishness were held in Britain in 1965. It was far from a truth universally acknowledged that the Jews were 'different' enough to warrant inclusion among Britain's racial minorities: and yet it was the experiences of the Jews under the dominion of Nazism that largely structured the Race Relations Act 1965.
What is remarkable, given this uncertainty about their applicability, is the lack of consideration Jews were given in the context of the Race Relations Act. The above quote from Soskice is typical of the brevity with which the Jewish example, with all its complexity, was disposed of within the debates of 1965. The Jews were 'different'—that much was clear—, but no MP could quite pin down why.
This lack of consideration was not, however, total, within the public sphere of 1965. The 'difference' of Jews was given a degree of assessment, its complexity explored and the agency of British Jews in constructing and contesting it reinstated, through the rantings of an unpleasant, vicious bigot from East End docks: Till Death Us Do Part's Alfred Edward Garnett.
The monstrous creation of Johnny Speight, Alf (played by Warren Mitchell) has been rightly vilified for his views and the influence they had on lending confidence to increasingly vitriolic rhetoric on the political right. Yet, as with the Race Relations Act, reading this social realist situation comedy through the lens of Jewishness throws up surprising results.
Alf is a Jewish character. The fourth episode of the first series, 'Intolerance' (tx. 27 June 1966), contains an extended discussion between Alf and his son-in-law Mike (played by Tony Booth) in which Jewishness plays a central role:
Mike – How would you like it if I called you a Yid?
Alf – What are you talking about Yid? I ain't a Yid!
Mike – Your grandfather's name was Solly Diamond.
Mike – There's nothing to be ashamed of being Jewish.
Alf – I am not Jewish!
Mike – Look at your hooter! That's a right kosher conk you've got there!
This short exchange, part of a conversation that continues throughout the episode, offers up a number of elements for analysis within the context of race relations. It is notable that Mike brings up Alf's supposed Jewishness in response to a particularly nasty outburst from Alf about his black GP, Dr Chingala. Jewishness is thus connected to a discussion of race relations and a Jewish man subjecting someone to race-based hatred is constructed as something ironic. Alf's supposed 'difference' is utilised as a means of silencing his commentary on supposed black 'difference'.
The ability of Jewishness to disrupt modern categories is also explored here. Mike, supposedly a bastion of progressiveness simultaneously ameliorates Dr Chingala's 'otherness' and reinforces Alf's: insisting that he has 'nothing to be ashamed of' in being Jewish. Alf, by contrast, who positions himself politically on the right, is far more concerned with the sublimation of his Jewishness.
The discussion of the Jewish nose provokes a great deal of laughter from the audience. While this reaction might be viewed as reifying Jewish 'otherness', the audience that day was, in fact, largely made up of Mitchell's friends and associates in London's Jewish community. Following the programme Speight, unsure of whether the audience had been 'in on the joke' asked them and received an affirmative reply alongside congratulations on his satirical work. 3
Speight's comedy, when explored through the lens of Jewishness, problematises the 'difference' and to an extent, the 'sameness' of Jews. It offers a self-reflexive exploration of Jewishness lacking in parliamentary discussions of the period that were largely a matter of domestic expediency.

Christopher S. Byrne is a PhD student at Southampton University's Parkes Institute for the Study of Jewish/non-Jewish Relations. His research analyses the UK Race Relations Acts 1965–76 and compares them to contemporary situation comedies to explore the ways in which Jews and Jewishness were constructed and contested in 1960s and 1970s Britain.

Fresh cut flowers, delicious, whole foods, and parties, are just a few of Barrett Prendergast's favorite things. At a career crossroad, it was these things that kept dancing through her head. What could she do that combines all her passions in a professional sense? The manifestation was Valleybrink Road: a floral design and luxury gift box company that is really, so much more. Barrett is the go-to girl for all things food and entertainment. Her site is chalked full of beautiful personal recipes, beautiful and purchasable floral designs and gift boxes, and a look at all her past parties.
I sat down with Barrett to find out how she balances her healthy and active lifestyle as a #girlboss (and #momboss), and get the scoop on her effortless style and how the key is to keep it simple, in all aspects of life.
Melissa: At what point did you decide that you wanted to turn your passion and hobby of cooking into a full-time career?
Barrett: When I turned 30. I had just closed down the handbag line I had with my husband and was really at a crossroads. I couldn't imagine going to work for someone again and had sort of lost my love for the fashion world. Everything I was doing in my free time was about food and entertaining. I was always cooking, making up recipes, having people over for dinner, planting gardens, going to the farmers market. These were all the things I really loved. So, I decided to see if I could actually turn what I truly loved into some kind of profession. I went to work in a restaurant and less than a year later, Valleybrink Road was born.
Melissa: How do you manage to find the time to create such healthy and balanced meals with such a busy work schedule?
Barrett: It is part prep and part cooking meals that are simple. I do a lot of prep on Sundays, like making batches of grains, washing vegetables, making almond milk, roasting chicken, etc, so that certain things are ready to go in the fridge when it comes to mealtime. I also don't like fussy recipes. I want to be finished in 20-30 minutes max, so that is really how I cook. I search for the best ingredients and really good produce, so the dishes don't need much in the end.
M: You spend a lot of time in the kitchen and working with your hands. How does this impact your personal style? Do you have work style vs. personal style?
B: Yes. In the mornings and when I am doing a lot of physical labor like cooking or making arrangements and gift boxes, I usually wear jeans, one of my many The Great T-Shirts (they are heaven), and some Converse. My personal style is longer, flowy colorful dresses and sandals.
M: From your arrangements to your recipes, everything you create is so full of color. Does this extend to your style?
B: I never really thought about it but it totally does! I wear lots of bright dresses, color, and pattern. Things that are feminine but still functional. I guess I like "happy" clothes.
M: What is your all-time favorite accessory/ piece of jewelry?
B: My Irene Neuwirth wedding ring. It is a rose cut diamond and rose gold band. It is my everything.
M: If we were to open your closet, what type of accessory would we find most of?
B: Probably handbags. We used to have a handbag line, so there are lots of leftover samples, production, etc. And then, just lots of work totes. Love a good bag.
M: You are the queen of setting the scene and creating a magical environment for events and gatherings. Do you enjoy entertaining in your own home or is it strictly business?
B: While we definitely do less of it than we used to, I still love entertaining at home. Even something as simple as having people over for a big cheeseboard and some great wine makes me happy.
M: What are some dining/home accessories that make entertaining easier or help set the mood?
B: I think a great wood board, a pretty vase, a statement napkin….just little things like this can make a big difference for a tablescape. Oh, and most importantly fresh flowers. Always have some fresh flowers around to brighten up the space.
M: What is a kitchen/cooking accessory you just couldn't live without?
B: I probably use my Vitamix more than anything else. Smoothies, Almond milk, soup purees…the list goes on and on.
M: I am about to move into the house we have been building for 4 years. Do you have any tips on how to throw the perfect housewarming?
B: Don't try to do too much! Invite your close friends and keep it intimate. Cheese, charcuterie, wine, and lots of laughs.

Apple, Microsoft sign death warrant for oss
A proposal to extend patent protection in Europe could threaten the existence of open-source software unless the European Parliament amends it, say advocates of freely distributed programs such as Linux.
However, companies such as Microsoft and Apple Computer argue that they need broader patent protection to prevent open-source companies, which give away their software and make money through service, from effectively expropriating their development costs.
A European Parliament committee will debate the issue on Monday, and vote on it a month later.
European Parliament member Michel Rocard, a former French prime minister heading up review of the software patent directive, wants to protect open-source software by limiting the scope of patent protection.
Like all programs, open-source software must interact with a computer's other software to work, such as a word processor running on Windows.
Writers of free software cannot properly design their programs without information on how propriatory programs interact with other software.
Rocard and other advocates of open-source software argue that coding essential for interoperation needs only copyright protection, while Microsoft and others want patent protection for portions of software used to "talk" to other programs.
A software directive lacking Rocard's amendment could "be the death knell for open source software," said Thomas Vinje of Clifford Chance, who represents a number of software groups. Allies include Oracle and Red Hat, a distributor Linux.
Patent holders can license their software but open source software is distributed and redistributed at no cost, so there is no way to collect license fees.
"If you allow anyone to get this information for free you have no way of having any kind of license," says Francisco Mingorance, director of public policy for the Business Software Alliance trade association, which includes Microsoft and Apple.
The inventors "are deprived of their original investment," he said, expropriating their property.


BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (AP) - A Connecticut man has pleaded guilty to manslaughter in the 2015 death of a man originally shot outside a barbershop in 2009.
The Connecticut Post (https://bit.ly/2j4w1W1 ) reports that 28-year-old Eric Brown pleaded guilty last week in the shooting and death of Dan Rauso.
Prosecutors say the 27-year-old Shelton man walked outside after getting a haircut at a Bridgeport barbershop in December 2009 and was shot by two men during a robbery.
Rauso survived the shooting but was left a quadriplegic. He died in December 2015.
Prosecutors say an autopsy showed he died as a result of complications from the shooting.
Police think Brown was the shooter. He pleaded guilty just before his trial was scheduled to start.
Brown faces a 10-year prison term when he is sentenced March 31.

He also says that all the mosques don't need to have minarets. After three days. The assault was so vigorous that it looked like a Hindu victory was imminent. A brief account of Muslim savagery and Hindu resilience from the battle of talikota is as follows: On 23 Jan 1565. "NARAYANA KRISHNA BHAGAVANTHA" after which he was beheaded. they carried on a day after day their work of destruction.000 Moslem troops had opened a vigorous rear attack on the Hindus and captured several artillery positions.

Never perhaps in the history of the world has such havoc been wrought. When he was asked to get converted to Islam to be left alive. but Nizam Shah made a dash to seize him. Also. in his book The Forgotten Empire. amid scenes of savage massacre and horrors beyond description". Anwar's documentary then brings in Dravidian Islam architecture quoting the mosque in Kilakarai. Venkatadri struck early and within the first two hours the Hindu army's heavy guns fired constantly on the ranks of Barid Shah. Muslim troops entered the city. As. and wrought so suddenly. Robert Sewell (1845–1925) worked in the civil service of the Madras Presidency during the colonial rule in India. Several cannon shells landed near Rama Raya's elephant and he fell from it as his mount was struck by a cannon shard. teeming with a wealthy and industrious population in the full plenitude of prosperity one day.

The empire was in constant tussle with the adjacent Islamic kingdoms and finally fell into the hands of marauders.D. It is true that many ancient mosques in Arabia didn't have minarets.

Suddenly Rama Raya found his rear surprised by the two Moslem divisions in his ranks turning against him. and reduced to ruins. and on the next seized.D. his reply was.

one cannot see in his words. who were Ramayana experts. Instead. the Dravidian sensibilities on the pillars of the mosque as ruins of a Jaina or Hindu temple reused by the Islamic invaders. In fact." claims Anwar. the film hints to the contribution of Muslims to Tamil literature. the stories told about the Vaishnava saint's receptivity to an alien faith attributes to the inherent transcendentalism and mysticism in Hindu religion. Further. Every Muslim learn to read and write in Arabic to practice their religion. most scholars believe that if it's not in Arabic it's not the Quran. However. It accuses that Sufism dilutes Sacred Islam by accommodating pantheistic ideas and symbolism and compromises with kafirs. whom he visualised as a woman. since Muslims believe it as the direct word of God in Arabic. which is why 17th century also saw the first time literary works by Muslim and Christian authors. In that case. including M. As a matter of fact. but I also carry several other identities. a translation inserts a human (and therefore imperfect) element." Quran is written in Arabic. "Onre Kulam. we can also assume. Scholars such as Eaton capably points at the political processes at work when Muslim armies dismantled Hindu temples and reused parts of them in later constructions. and Sharia has forbidden errors in reading it because that would change the meaning.

Saheb concludes on this poignant note: "You may have many suitors. Gunangudi Mastan Saheb can be compared to the Azhwars in his devotion to Allah. By the same token. Even the example in the film shows that. an environmentalist and a 'Maduraikaaran'. In fact. one must note that Muslims never wrote poems or other stuff about anything except Allah. Muslims and Christians were growing in Tamilnadu with the influences of the Delhi Sultanate and the growing European missionaries. this universal credence on a single language is one of the binding force for Muslim brotherhood worldwide. In this context. Most of the religious teachers thinks that "the Quran is only read in Arabic. "When there are so many layers to one's identity. which talks about Prophet Mohammed's journey to Mehraj. but you are my only Light of Life. I may be a Muslim by birth. religion alone cannot be a determining factor. Bhogar too had a similar experience. such as the Mehraj Malai. the decline of Vijayanagara empire and the constant plight of Hindus due to the savage wars gave no peace of mind for Hindus to engage in literary activities for about two centuries. Yaadhum says it is not mandatory for an Indian Muslim to speak Urdu and Muslims in Tamilnadu consider the Tamil language as his mother tongue which is why he deserves reverence for his tolerance and plurality. Interestingly.M. Expressing his love for 'Her." he says. the consciousness of an identity as an Indian. who after meditation found himself transported to Mecca.inscriptions speak only about its presence in the 11th century which the Muslims call as renovation. Islamic scholars remain divided in this regard. Moreover. Anwar set out to explore and trace his roots as an answer to the identity crisis he suffered as a Muslim in a secular society. But it is a well-known fact that the orthodox Islam opposes Sufism. the film and the interviews of the film-maker fuels Tamil chauvinism." It goes ahead by nodding Islam as the saviour of Tamil literature in it's 'Dark age'.
leading to riots. On the other hand. the secular liberal Muslim turns out to bean emotional closet Islamist. Islam finds itself in a crisis. In its 1. He neglects the religious identity of pre-Islamic traders from west Asia and hints them as Muslims to prove an active presence of Muslim traders in Tamilnadu and attribute a role for Islam in the Chola hay days in south-East Asia. he undermines the threat of present day global Islamist terror. I belong to this place. nevertheless elucidated Dravidian Islamic architecture. He said Architecture has no religion." he confesses to the Hindu. . Hence. where people from various social and religious backgrounds coexisted he depicts the harmonious relationship between the Hindu and Muslim communities in Tamilnadu. he blames Crusaders and Britishers for the image of Islam as a murderous violent cult. asks not to cite religion to describe crusades and conquests of heathens by Islamic rulers by pointing out that non-Muslims existed in those regions. They were simply loaded against the community. Like every Sharia Bolshevik of the time. "So right- wing groups continue to harbour imaginary wounds from the past. the film fails to read the land grants and donations by Hindu kings to other religious shrines and the peaceful coexistence of traders from various religion and nationalities over thousands of years as the concern for universal kinship and respect for differences in belief and religion.400-year-long history. he undermines the violence committed by Islam while spreading its wings over the land. In addition to that brings up a tale of Cholas attacking Buddhist country and Christian persecution of Jews. he too imagines victim-hood for his community and try to narrate the story of a culturally rich and diverse land exclusively through on behalf of his religion.Islam's role in nurturing a pluralistic society." proclaims Anwar after making a movie with distorted facts to confirm if he belongs to Tamilnadu or not. which in turn create a sense of fear and alienation among Muslims. With a narrow linear perspective of Hinduism Anwar tries to append the Tamil society and history in an Islamic garb. Added to this is the current international scenario. Therefore. I am sure of my roots. Only a leftist can bring such oxymoron explicitly as intelligent research work. " Now. Talks about secularism and pluralism but fails to keep his religion aside while narrating the story of his place. In addition to that like any apologist moderate Muslim. By conveniently covering up the brutal conquests and wars. Yaadhum ignores that the concepts of tolerance and pluralism are the very essence of Hinduism and its manifestation through diverse Hindu practices and its centuries of peaceful coexistence of various faiths to paint Islam as a religion which acknowledges diversity." Anwar not only decidedly deny the Brutal wars and plunder done by the Islamic invaders in India but also insinuate communal hatred towards the other communities. "Documenting the history of Muslims opened my eyes to the misrepresentations that filled the so-called history books. I decided to focus on the subject and throw light on the misunderstandings. which they use to radicalise their followers.

Scarface: The World is Yours – Consumer Guide

According to ESRB, this game contains: Blood and Gore, Intense Violence, Sexual Themes, Strong Language, Use of Drugs
Parents: Are you kidding? Unless your kids listen to Gangsta Rap they probably don't know who Tony Montana is, and you should endeavor to keep it that way until they're at least fifteen or sixteen. If they do listen to Gangsta Rap then chances are they've already played this game, with all its foul language, obscenely brutal violence, and misogynistic sexuality, and you've failed as a parent.
Grand Theft Auto fans should definitely check this out, so long as they're willing to trade their beloved sandbox features to find out just how smoothly a game can play.
Deaf and Hard of Hearing gamers have little to worry about: all important mission information is given onscreen, from arrows telling you which way to turn during missions to a radar that helpfully shows the location of all enemies.

What can you say about a twenty-five-year-old girl who died?
Nothing relevant to this conversation, that's for sure! Because we're here to talk about (sorry, write and read about, respectively) GC_Danny, who's updating this profile for the first time in thirteen years!
So let's take a gander back at that time and see what's happened! In addition to writing hundreds of video game reviews, Dan produced a book that can be legally purchased by almost anyone! He also wrote two short films, two episodes of television, and two movies! Although, sadly, and through much fault of his own, the movies have yet to be released.
In addition to general game reviewing, he's also dabbled in more long-form work, writing some of the longest and most comprehensive game reviews of all time. Then there's his non-GameCritics blogging, where he's famous as the world's foremost expert on the TV show Criminal Minds, as well as the co-host of a weekly podcast - he's even working on a new videogame/critical experiment, which you can find out more about here!
If all that wasn't enough, just a few months ago he rebranded himself as 'The Hidden Object Guru', hoping to stake another claim of ultimate expertise, this time over a genre of casual games! Will he be successful? Only time will tell, but you're free to join the thrilling ride at his YouTube channel!

Like other types of trading, Binary Options trading is also open 24 hours. Except weekends, holidays. However, there are certain times that are more specific. Better time to do trading activities. Or it can be called when the Binary Options trading ritual is very powerful if done.
Specific trading can be done on platforms provided by brokers. Many brokers open 24 hours of trading opportunities. Interestingly, many brokers also equip themselves with various trading instruments such as asset index guidelines, complete with specific hours for trading.
The 24-hour time span is very wide. In fact, the volatility index market applies 24 hours without holidays. Alias, weekends are still on the floor. However, if it fails to look at specific times, sometimes 24 hours becomes a very narrow time. A golden opportunity like flying just swallowed by time.
There is no other choice, traders must be able to look at the parameters to optimize specific time in trading. If you feel to look at the very powerful times in the trading ritual, the more honed, the profit for profit will flow profusely in your account.
The most practical way to look at the parameters of specific times for trading is to listen to various info and momentum. Take for example, the tendency of price movements during market closure or opening or when usually asset prices fluctuate, even in the most extreme situations.
Trading is a trading activity that is free of space and time dimensions. With digital progress, all trading activities can cross the distance within seconds. Only through the touch of a fingertip, everything can happen, done!
The main requirement for fighting in the world of trading that is free from the dimensions of space and time is nothing but paying attention to the location and time zone where we will be involved in trading. We have to know the specific time or market hours operating in certain locations.
For example, if a trader is on vacation in the United States and wants to be involved in opening a trading market in Queen Elizabeth's country, he must be willing to get up early. Or, you as a professional worker must be willing to stay up or watch until the early hours to get involved in trading with different time zones. Remember, be aware of specific trading times regarding location differences and time zones are mandatory!
Not only price movements when market hours are opened and closed which must be observed. But it must also be observant to see price changes at certain times, such as when the market hours overlap.
Which must be considered, at these times, trading volume tends to increase. Economic data releases and financial data, usually also affect prices, can go up can go down. Many traders use this momentum as a parameter to decide which trading steps to do.
In addition, this momentum also influences the choice of the trading instruments to be carried out. When trading volume is high at the market opening momentum, for example, we can choose Touch or Put / Call instruments. Once the market has subsided, the No Touch, Boundary, or Range instruments can be a more appropriate choice.
Well, you decide and must be aware of specific times to achieve maximum results in trading. Pay attention to the magic time to perform trading rituals with optimal results. Engaging in a forum trader, including the forum wormtraders, is the right step to continue honing your trading skills and feel.
