Eroding support for war
Vietnam at 50: 1969
When Richard Nixon entered the White House on Jan. 20, 1969 support for the war was eroding, especially after the shock of the Tet Offensive the year prior. It was his war, now.
Struggling to sell 'peace with honor'
Five days after assuming the presidency, Richard Nixon dispatched a team of negotiators to Paris to meet with representatives of North and South Vietnam and the National Liberation Front. The meeting did not go well.
10-day battle defines futility of war
Fifty years after leading a company of soldiers up Hamburger Hill, Gerald "Bob" Harkins sees the assault against burrowed-in North Vietnamese army forces no differently than he did then.
Patriotism or protest?
On Aug. 18, 1969, former soldier Jimi Hendrix, resplendent in bright red headband, white fringed shirt and bell-bottom blue jeans, unfurled what has been called the cultural moment of the 1960s when he played an incendiary instrumental version of "The Star-Spangled Banner" for remnants of the crowd at Woodstock.
Protests in 1969
While hundreds of thousands of demonstrators converged on Washington in November 1969 to show their growing disdain for America's involvement in Vietnam, Sgt. Grant Coates was bunkered in the Commerce Department with his fellow soldiers, peeking out windows to catch glimpses at the activity outside.
Army nurse remembers, can never forget
For Cohasset, Mass., 1969 held the worst eight months of the Vietnam War, when 5 of the town's soldiers were killed in action. Jane McCarthy grew up in Cohasset.After graduation, she went on to serve as an Army nurse in Vietnam. In May, she spoke at the 50th anniversary of the 1969 deaths of those five soldiers.
'The torture stopped' at Hanoi Hilton
American prisoners of war locked up for years in North Vietnam knew the drill. Bow to their captors or take a beating. But in October 1969, the rules changed. At least temporarily.

It all goes to hell
The Tet Offensive of 1968 transformed the Vietnam War – and America. It forced the U.S. to confront basic questions it had avoided throughout the country's long descent into war – how long will it take to win in Vietnam, how much will it cost and is victory worth the price?
The sparks of war
Viewed through the prism of time, the years after World War II can seem like an idyllic era, with U.S. power supreme, the middle class thriving and families living stable "Ozzie and Harriet" lives after decades of war and economic depression.
Love, protest, music and 'madness'
1967 was a time of change and hard questions, a coming of age for a generation with bipolar views about the war. It was the year that those who answered the call to serve and those who burned their draft cards battled for the identity of their generation.
Charlie Company, 1967: an unlikely friendship
From massive moments of traditional warfare like Operation Junction City, to battles in defense of exposed and vulnerable Marine bases along the Demilitarized Zone like Con Thien, to stealthy long-range reconnaissance patrols – American forces across the length and breadth of South Vietnam sought to bring overwhelming firepower to bear on their North Vietnamese and Viet Cong foes.
Vietnam and Hollywood: The realism quotient
As far as authenticity is concerned, Hollywood's Vietnam War films have run the gamut from uncannily realistic to cartoonishly foolish. The producers and directors of the most realistic films have gone to extraordinary lengths to make sure everything you see and hear on screen is as close to the real things as possible. Other directors, well, have not. Which are the best of the best? Read to find out.

1966 was a formative year for America as its military began to increase its presence in Vietnam. Read more about the year's major events in these features collected from the men who were there.
An introduction to 1966
It was the year of the reality check, when Americans and their own government began to realize just what they faced in Vietnam — a resourceful and tenacious enemy, quarrelsome allies and an Asian society whose complexity they could barely understand.

Stumbling into war
In his inaugural address in 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson made no direct mention of the war in Vietnam. But within weeks the president would redefine America's role in the war with dire consequences for the country, his presidency and American optimism and faith in government.
What led the US to the Vietnam War?
On March 8, 1965, two battalions of about 3,500 Marines waded ashore on Red Beach 2 — becoming the first American combat troops deployed to Vietnam. In the ensuing months they were followed by thousands more combat forces, making 1965 the year the United States transformed the Vietnam conflict into an American war.
New role in Vietnam has dire consequences
At the dawn of 1965, America was assured of its moral supremacy and confident in a future shaped for the better by its own enterprise, ingenuity and vision. Fighting in Vietnam was not yet a major concern and few foresaw how it would divide the country and cultivate an abiding cynicism and distrust in government.
From the front lines of Ia Drang Valley: 'Killing, dying and suffering indelibly marked us all'
Joseph Galloway, 73, is a veteran war correspondent who did four stints in Vietnam, including a 16-month tour in 1965, during which he covered the pivotal Battle of Ia Drang Valley. Despite being a civilian, Galloway was awarded a Bronze Star with "V" device for valor by the Army for rescuing a badly wounded soldier under fire.
Budding anti-war movement 'changed everything'
On March 15, 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson gave a speech decrying the brutalization by 200 Alabama state troopers of hundreds of peaceful civil rights protesters in Selma planning to march to the state capitol in Montgomery. "Our mission is at once the oldest and the most basic of this country — to right wrong, to do justice, to serve man," he said.

By NANCY MONTGOMERY | STARS AND STRIPES Published: November 10, 2015
On March 15, 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson gave a speech decrying the brutalization by 200 Alabama state troopers of hundreds of peaceful civil rights protesters in Selma planning to march to the state capitol in Montgomery. Johnson told Congress and the nation that it was time to move beyond a long, disgraceful racist past and provide equal rights and opportunity to all citizens.
"Our mission is at once the oldest and the most basic of this country — to right wrong, to do justice, to serve man," he said in what's considered among the finest speeches in history.
Alice Herz took it to heart.
The next day, the 82-year-old refugee from Nazi Germany and ardent pacifist set herself on fire at a busy Detroit intersection to protest U.S. involvement in Vietnam.
"I choose the illuminating death of a Buddhist to protest against a great country trying to wipe out a small country for no reason," she wrote in a note to her daughter, according to historian Charles Francis Howlett.
Herz's fiery act was the first of three that year in protest of the Vietnam War. She was followed in her death by two male pacifists, including a Quaker who set himself aflame three floors down from the Pentagon office window of Defense Secretary Robert McNamara.
The self-immolations of 1965, patterned after those of Vietnamese Buddhist monks protesting persecution of Buddhists by the U.S.-backed South Vietnam government two years earlier, were the most dramatic acts of a budding anti-war movement. The centralized and diverse effort intertwined with movements for civil rights and free speech and against war, nuclear weapons and communism — then overtook them all.
"Aside from the abolitionist movement, this was the most many-sided, disruptive, destabilizing movement in American history," Tom Hayden, co-founder of Students for a Democratic Society, among the first organizers against the war and a lifelong progressive activist, told Stars and Stripes in a recent phone interview. "It changed everything. It echoes today in countless ways. It's lessons learned, and lessons that are lost."
One day after the attack against protesters in Selma, on March 7, about 3,500 U.S. Marines arrived in Da Nang, South Vietnam. They were the first American ground combat unit in the war that, despite mounting public opinion against it beginning in 1968, would last until 1975, involve millions of U.S. troops and kill more than 58,000 of them, along with about 2 million Vietnamese people.
By early March 1965, the U.S. had begun sustained bombing of North Vietnam in an operation called Rolling Thunder. What had been 23,300 U.S. advisers in Vietnam in 1964 swelled by the end of 1965 to 184,300 troops — despite Johnson's campaign promise that he didn't plan to send American "boys" to fight there.
"Our hopes were crushed," said Hayden, who had campaigned for Johnson. "We were stunned to find that presidents actually will lie to you. Everybody in America thinks that's true now. Nobody expected it then."
In fact, few Americans were opposed to sending troops to Vietnam in 1965 and took what the administration said about its necessity at face value. For the most part, they believed what Johnson said in his first major speech about Vietnam in April 1965, at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore.
VIDEO: Johnson's address attempted to explain why Southeast Asia was of vital American interest
"Vietnam is far away from this quiet campus. We have no territory there, nor do we seek any. The war is dirty and brutal and difficult. And some 400 young men, born into an America that is bursting with opportunity and promise, have ended their lives on Vietnam's steaming soil," he said.
"Why must we take this painful road? Why must this nation hazard its ease, and its interest and its power for the sake of a people so far away?
"We fight because we must fight if we are to live in a world where every country can shape its own destiny. And only in such a world will our own freedom be finally secure."
National attention at the time was more focused on civil rights and social issues, including Johnson's War on Poverty. A four-day uprising in the Watts neighborhood of Los Angeles in August turned the streets into a war zone and caused 34 deaths. Johnson made strides that year, signing into law the Voting Rights Act and the Social Security Act of 1965, establishing Medicare and Medicaid.
But the civil rights movement itself would become a casualty of war, historians have since agreed.
"The Vietnam War divided the civil rights movement and African-Americans more than any other event in American history ... and it diverted attention away from the struggle for racial justice and toward opposition to the war," argued Daniel Lucks, author of "Selma to Saigon: The Civil Rights Movement and the Vietnam War."
University students — many of them veterans of civil rights marches, sit-ins and voter registration drives — in what was a very buttoned-up country began turning their attention to organizing protests against the burgeoning war.
"There was a reason for it; we had experience," said David Greenberg, a sociology professor at New York University and author who was active in the anti-war movement. "And in 1965, whites were being expelled from many civil rights groups," he said. With the rise of Black Power, an idea coined by activist Stokely Carmichael, came a desire for black people to define their own goals, to lead their own organizations.
In February and March 1965, Students for a Democratic Society organized marches on the Oakland Army Terminal, the departure point for many troops bound for Southeast Asia. The group also staged the first major anti-war rally in Washington on April 17, 1965. About 20,000 people attended the orderly demonstration, most of them students.
"Teach-ins" became popular — daylong events where speakers would discuss the morality of the war and artists like Joan Baez would sing. One organized by professors at the University of Michigan was attended by 2,500 participants. "We had this very idealistic belief that we were the generation that was going to do wonders," Hayden said. "We had tremendous self-confidence. If we'd fought Jim Crow in the south ... we could take on the Pentagon."
Student activists at the University of California, Berkeley — where the free speech movement challenging university authority had begun the year before — marched against the Berkeley draft board in May and staged what's considered the first public burning of a draft card. On Aug. 31, Johnson signed a law making that a crime.
Six weeks later, David J. Miller, a pacifist and member of the Catholic Worker Movement, became the first to be convicted under the new law, and was sentenced to more than two years in prison. But burning, destroying and turning in draft cards became a common occurrence, even though it did not prevent the protesters from being drafted. Few were arrested for the act, which became symbolic of the protest.
University students were unlikely to be drafted. Former vice president and defense secretary Dick Cheney, for example, received five draft deferments during the Vietnam era, the fourth when he started graduate school at the University of Wyoming on Nov. 1, 1965.
Of the 26.8 million men who were eligible for the draft between 1964 and 1973, only 2.2 million were drafted, while 8.7 million volunteered, according to "Chance and Circumstance: the Draft, the War and the Vietnam Generation," a 1978 book by Lawrence Baskir and William Strauss.
But the deferment process remained controversial, discriminating against black and poor men who could not afford college. A lottery was introduced in 1969, student deferments were ended in 1971 and the draft ended in 1973.
"The movement became much more militant because of the draft resistance," Hayden said, because it involved breaking the law. About 50,000 men fled to Canada rather than be sent to Vietnam, he said, and were granted amnesty by Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau.
By October 1965, opposition to the war was beginning to involve larger displays of civil disobedience. About 40 people staged a sit-in at the draft board in Ann Arbor, Mich., and after being arrested were sentenced to 10 to 15 days in jail.
Much of America was unsympathetic. More than 60 percent supported sending troops, according to a 1965 Gallup poll.
"My dad was a Marine. When I became active in the anti-war movement he disassociated from me. He refused to mention my name in the house," Hayden said. "That was a sad truth: Families split apart, fathers yelling at their sons, cursing their daughters. We were castigated, as if you were anti-war, you were a communist. The New York Times, the mass media, congressmen looking for votes — they all wanted us drafted or deported."
Whatever their private misgivings about how a disproportionate number of blacks were drafted to fight, civil rights groups publicly supported Johnson and the war in 1965.
That began to change the next year, when a white man murdered black activist Sammy Younge Jr., a Navy veteran, for using a gas station toilet while on a voter registration drive with the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. SNCC became the first civil rights group to join in opposition to the war, and urged African-Americans to resist the draft. "The murder of Samuel Younge in Tuskegee, Alabama, is no different than the murder of peasants in Vietnam, for both Younge and the Vietnamese sought, and are seeking, to secure the rights guaranteed them by law," according to a statement by SNCC indicting the war.
In early 1965, Sgt. Jan Barry had been to Vietnam, serving in an Army aviation unit in 1962 that he said ferried special operations troops around the region. He'd been bothered by things he saw there, and while stationed at Fort Rucker, Ala., he was growing increasingly disillusioned with the military and the government.
Then the state troopers' brutality against civil rights marchers in Selma unfolded. He was reminded of Vietnam.
"The abuse the protesters were taking — I thought, holy-moly, I saw the same thing!" he said. "It was the same thing, but it was the Buddhists being mistreated by the government we were backing," Barry said. "This nasty little dictatorship. We knew that but nobody said it out loud. That put it into context for me — is our government really going to protect the citizens?"
At that point, Barry wasn't aware there was a peace movement, he said. Two years later, out of the Army and working at the New York Public Library, he saw an ad for a group called Veterans for Peace in Vietnam. He got in touch and found himself on April 15, 1967, marching from Central Park to the United Nations with them — and hundreds of thousands of people.
"We wore suits," Barry said. "There was an enormous crowd of people. The very first person was a Marine in full dress uniform holding an American flag, marching silently in formation."

Lady Mary's diary May 10, 1918 At 1am the old Vindictive, 6000 tons filled with concrete was forced into Ostend harbour and sunk. Another Zeebrugge (17 days ago). Engineer Lieut Cdr Bury severely wounded.
Commander Godsal, killed, Lieut Crutchley, finished the Vindictive's position across the canal and fired the charges that sunk her. The Lieutenants of the motor launches that saved the crew of the Vindictive were GH Drummond and Bourke.
Footnote: Lady Mary seems to be very well informed about this huge day in Dorset's naval history. None of the officers were named in the newspapers at the time, but she knows them all. Cdr Godsal, from Sturminster Marshall (pictured above) was posthumously awarded the Croix de Guerre and Lieut Victor Crutchley (pictured in later life below) from Nettlecombe the VC for their part in the second raid on Ostend, sinking the old cruiser Vindictive in an attempt to block the Bruges canal to German U-boats.
When Godsal was killed and his navigating officer incapacitated, Crutchley took command, gave the order to abandon ship and blew some of the charges before overseeing its evacuation under fire.
He transferred to the damaged motor launch ML 254, taking command when wounded captain Lieut Geoffrey Drummond collapsed. Standing in water up to his waist, Crutchley oversaw bailing operations in ML 254 until the destroyer HMS Warwick came to their aid. He ended his distinguished career a knighthood and rank of Admiral dying in 1986, aged 92.

What Do They Know that We Don't?… China Has Not Administered a Single mRNA Vaccine to Any of Its 1.45 Billion Citizens – Alex Berenson
Robie Le Chat February 13, 2022 2 min read
Courtesy:
China has a population of 1.45 billion people.
As of last August, China has administered 2 billion COVID vaccine shots in the country.
But not a single person in China was given a mRNA COVID vaccine!
In July 2021 China announced it may be time to work on a mRNA vaccine. But in December 2021 there was still no word on when China would start administering their own mRNA vaccines.
Alex Berenson reported on this strange development on Monday.
"The first person in the world to receive an mRNA Covid vaccine outside a clinical trial was Margaret Keenan, a 90-year-old Englishwoman, on Dec. 8, 2020.
In the 14 months since, more than 1 billion people worldwide have received more than 2 billion shots of mRNA.
None are in China.
A Chinese pharmaceutical company signed a deal to buy 100 million doses of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine a week after that first shot.
None have been given to anyone in China.
But wait!
This delay has a totally innocent explanation. National pride, ya see. The Chinese don't want to admit they have to buy an American/German shot.
Yep, that's the ticket.
Here's the proof. Chinese pharmaceutical companies are also "developing" their own mRNA shot, called ARCoV.
They're moving fast, too!
How fast.
The Chinese companies finished their preliminary human clinical trial of ARCoV on December 2, 2020. It covered all of 230 people.
Not 2021. 2020. BEFORE Margaret Keenan received her first dose.
14 months have passed since that trial finished."

This's used as the supreme checklist for anybody that intends to head out for just a night under the stars. The report is structured into four Sections. The Basics, Optional Accessories, Telescope reliant Accessories & Astrophotography Accessories. All of that astrophotgraphy equipment is available at the majority of specialist stores.
The telescope of any type. In case you haven't purchased a Telescope still and yet shopping around. I'd highly suggest you go to a professional (Online and in Store) instead of a Department Store.
Eyepieces. Bare minimum of two. You need to have received two Eyepieces together with your telescope anyway. In case you're a novice, the brand isn't essential but the eyepieces are recommended and worth the cash.
Clothing that is appropriate. This's usually looked over by individuals starting out. Remember, you are going to be out in the wide open area without any roof above you and during the night. Dress properly. In case you're unsure, dress as in case you're going for a hike during the night.
Binoculars. This might sound unusual though you'll probably be performing this with a companion and they also have been entertained as well. With a Binoculars, at a minimum each individual is able to talk about your observations.
Barlow Lens. This works as a doubler and can boost your eyepiece collection by two. I'd classify this as a standard (Must Have) though some individuals might not require it. Buy one that's of quality that is comparable to your Eyepiece. In case you have a this device, do not purchase a few lenses as well as the other way round. When you're utilizing the lens, it turns into a part of your eyepiece and in case you purchase an inferior quality leather, you are going to notice it.
Red Flashlight. The feeling you get if you get dazzled by a beam while driving. You don't wish that at the center of exploring a world you have only paid 15mins tracking down. It is going to take you 15mins covering your eyes to change to the darkness before you are able to see something significant. A Red Flashlight decreases that dazzled perception.
Sky Maps. Whether it's an iPhone, Star Disc, Night Sky Guide. You are going to need a thing to make use of as a reference. In case using an iPhone, understand that you are going to want it at the dimmest location ideally with a Red Cellophane newspaper over the screen to lessen the glare.
Compass. Everything is pitch dark which is going to be quite difficult to get your bearings. You are going to need this particular as a Reference Point.
Power Supply. In case your Telescope is computerized. Keep in mind that your AA batteries are only going to last a few hours in heavy use. Bring Spares or even purchase a Power Adapter.
Dew Shield. If you have a sizable shield and it's really cold. This's a necessity. Store bought or perhaps DIY is fine.
Cork Board. In case you have this. Don't forget, your telescope must have something horizontal to stand on being usable and stable. A large portion of MDF is effective.
T Rings and adapters. Do not forget about it. Check that the T Ring fits on your camera before leaving and the threads tend to be suitable.
Lens. It is not everything about the telescope. Believe in me. An excellent 70 200mm Lens is going to do great things when you're out in the dark atmosphere.
Laptop/Memory Cards. In case you're an enthusiastic photographer, you'll be filming RAW. Remember, they're quite large documents and you are going to fill your card fast.
Digicam. Very apparent. In addition, bring Spare batteries.
And so there you've it. The quintessential checklist for the Astronomy Trip. Use this list and you'll really benefit from the experience.


The eulogy is an important part of the service as it celebrates the life of your loved one and the ways in which he/she has touched the lives around them. Writing and delivering the eulogy is a special task as the eulogy helps to begin the healing process for those who are left behind. The eulogy can be delivered by anyone – a family member, friend or clergy. It is best delivered by one who has known the deceased. The eulogy may even be shared with a number of people contributing words of remembrance and poetry.
When you start to write the eulogy don't feel that you need to summarize the person'sentire life. Instead you may like to adopt a theme. You may see certain themes emerging as you make your notes. A theme provides a focus for the audience to remember the deceased.
If there are to be a number of people giving the eulogy at the Funeral service, consider suggesting that each speaker adopt a theme, as this avoids the potential for repetition. Examples of themes include: Bert the family man, Bert the community leader, Bert the sportsman and Bert the businessman.
Arrange your notes in an order you feel flows well ensuring you have included an introduction and a conclusion. When you start to write, write as though you are speaking to a friend, making sure you always acknowledge the positive aspects of the deceased person and pay respect to them in an open, honest and caring manner. Don't be afraid to use some humour where you think it may be appropriate. The writing of the eulogy is best done on a computer as it makes changing and editing a lot easier. It also allows you to be able to print the completed eulogy in a larger font size so it is easier to read at the Funeral service. When you have finished writing, give the completed eulogy to family members so they may read it and suggest any changes.
some people find it easier to stay composed by not looking up. It is best to speak to the bereaved as though you were talking to a friend. Don't worry or be embarrassed if you need to pause a moment to compose yourself, people will understand.
Before you begin to write, you may wish to note the memories and feelings you might like to mention in the eulogy. You may wish to flip through photos, look at the deceased's most treasured possessions and talk to family and friends to gather memories and stories.


The knowledge of how to make a shoe pattern was certainly the ancient shoemaker's most closely guarded secret, passed from master to apprentice but never written down. Now, after 20 years of research, the principles for making ancient shoe patterns have been rediscovered. This comprehensive guide to European archaeological footwear is richly illustrated with drawings and photographs of archaeological leather shoe finds and shoe reconstructions. A catalogue presents each named shoe style along with the cutting patterns used, a concise description and a full list of the published examples. The volume also includes a short history of calceological studies, case studies, the fundamental research methods and an overview of shoe sole/upper constructions for archaeological leather shoes. Marquita Volken uses the practical knowledge and research techniques developed by Olaf Goubitz in com-bination with the methods established by Carol van Driel-Murray and Willy Groenmann-van Waateringe to identify the 17 basic types of cutting patterns used for archaeological leather footwear. Over 400 named shoe styles are identified and presented within a chronological framework covering Prehistory, the Roman period, the Middle Ages and the early modern times.

I've been working on an extension to a listed building. The first image shows the oak framed extension between the existing listed house and outside boiler room.
Here'a view from the existing house into the extension.
on average how long does it take to render to a finished product for the interior shots?
Depending on the lights, can take from 10 to 30 hours. I generally let them run overnight, or set it up with really high settings to render over the weekend. These images are about 10% of the rendered size, so they lose a bit.
Really amazing! How are you liking the lighting capabilities in Revit?
I find that you can get quite good effects with the lighting, although the standard ones require some adjusting to get them to work well.
Wow. Really impressive stuff. The second image looks more like a photo!
I may get this good one day!


The Intolerable Acts were passed in spring 1774, and helped cause the American Revolution (1775-1783).
In the years after the French and Indian War, Parliament attempted to levy taxes, such as the Stamp Act and Townshend Acts, on the colonies to aid in covering the cost of maintaining the empire. On May 10, 1773, Parliament passed the Tea Act with the goal of aiding the struggling British East India Company. Prior to the passage of the law, the company had been required to sell its tea through London where it was taxed and duties assessed. Under the new legislation, the company would be permitted to sell tea directly to the colonies without the additional cost. As a result, tea prices in America would be reduced, with only the Townshend tea duty assessed.
During this period, the colonies, angered by the taxes levied by the Townshend Acts, had been systematically boycotting British goods and claiming taxation without representation. Aware that the Tea Act was an attempt by Parliament to break the boycott, groups such as the Sons of Liberty, spoke out against it. Across the colonies, British tea was boycotted and attempts were made to produce tea locally. In Boston, the situation climaxed in late November 1773, when three ships carrying East India Company tea arrived in the port.
Rallying the populace, the members of the Sons of Liberty dressed as Native Americans and boarded the ships on the night of December 16. Carefully avoiding damaging other property, the "raiders" tossed 342 chests of tea into Boston Harbor. A direct affront to British authority, the "Boston Tea Party" forced Parliament to take action against the colonies. In retribution for this affront to royal authority, the Prime Minister, Lord North, began passing a series of five laws, dubbed the Coercive or Intolerable Acts, the following spring to punish the Americans.
Passed on March 30, 1774, the Boston Port Act was a direct action against the city for the previous November's tea party. The legislation dictated that the port of Boston was closed to all shipping until full restitution was made to the East India Company and the King for the lost tea and taxes. Also included in the act was the stipulation that the colony's seat of government should be moved to Salem and Marblehead made a port of entry. Loudly protesting, many Bostonians, including Loyalists, argued that the act punished the entire city rather than the few who were responsible for the tea party. As supplies in the city dwindled, other colonies began sending relief to the blockaded city.
Enacted on May 20, 1774, the Massachusetts Government Act was designed to increase royal control over the colony's administration. Abrogating the colony's charter, the act stipulated that its executive council would no longer be democratically elected and its members would instead be appointed by the king. Also, many colonial offices that were previously elected officials would henceforth be appointed by the royal governor. Across the colony, only one town meeting was permitted a year unless approved by the governor. Following General Thomas Gage's use of the act to dissolve the provincial assembly in October 1774, Patriots in the colony formed the Massachusetts Provincial Congress which effectively controlled all of Massachusetts outside of Boston.
Passed the same day as the previous act, the Administration of Justice Act stated that royal officials could request a change of venue to another colony or Great Britain if charged with criminal acts in fulfilling their duties. While the act allowed travel expenses to be paid to witnesses, few colonists could afford to leave work to testify at a trial. Many in the colonies felt it was unnecessary as British soldiers had received a fair trial after the Boston Massacre. Dubbed the "Murder Act" by some, it was felt that it allowed royal officials to act with impunity and then escape justice.
A revision of the 1765 Quartering Act, which was largely ignored by colonial assemblies, the 1774 Quartering Act expanded the types of buildings in which soldiers could be billeted and removed the requirement that they be provided with provisions. Contrary to popular belief, it did not permit the housing of soldiers in private homes. Typically, soldiers were first to be placed in existing barracks and public houses, but thereafter could be housed in inns, victualing houses, empty building, barns, and other unoccupied structures.
Though it did not have a direct effect on the thirteen colonies, the Quebec Act was considered part of the Intolerable Acts by the American colonists. Intended to ensure the loyalty of the king's Canadian subjects, the act greatly enlarged Quebec's borders and allowed the free practice of the Catholic faith. Among the land transferred to Quebec was much of the Ohio Country, which had been promised to several colonies through their charters and to which many had already laid claim. In addition to angering land speculators, others were fearful about the spread of Catholicism in American.
In passing the acts, Lord North had hoped to detach and isolate the radical element in Massachusetts from the rest of the colonies while also asserting the power of Parliament over the colonial assemblies. The harshness of the acts worked to prevent this outcome as many in the colonies rallied to Massachusetts's aid. Seeing their charters and rights under threat, colonial leaders formed committees of correspondence to discuss the repercussions of the Intolerable Acts.
These led to the convening of the First Continental Congress at Philadelphia on September 5. Meeting at Carpenters' Hall, delegates debated various courses for bringing pressure against Parliament as well as whether they should draft a statement of rights and liberties for the colonies. Creating the Continental Association, the congress called for a boycott of all British goods. If the Intolerable Acts were not repealed within a year, the colonies agreed to halt exports to Britain as well as support Massachusetts if it was attacked. Rather than exact punishment, North's legislation worked to pull the colonies together and pushed them down the road towards war.

Press Government of Israel to Recognize the Greek Orthodox Patriarch of Jerusalem, National Council of Churches General Assembly Urges
November 6, 2003, JACKSON, Miss.
His Beatitude Irenaios, the Patriarch of the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Jerusalem, was canonically elected on August 13, 2001 -- but more than two years later, his election has yet to be recognized by the Government of Israel. This means the Patriarchate -- legally responsible under Israeli law for many Christian Holy Sites along with schools, hospitals and other institutions -- is unable to exercise its responsibilities.
During its 2003 annual General Assembly, the National Council of Churches renewed its 2002 call to the State of Israel to recognize His Beatitude Irenaios' election.
Please urge your members of Congress and President Bush to ask the Israeli government to ratify Patriarch Irenaios' election forthwith. To learn more: visit the Web site of the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Jerusalem.
NCC 2003 General Assembly: Reissue of Resolution Recognizing the Patriarch of Jerusalem
WHEREAS the General Assembly of the National Council of Churches of Christ in the USA, meeting in November 2002, expressed serious concern about the ongoing failure of the Government of Israel to recognize the canonical election in August 2001 of His Beatitude Irenaios, the Patriarch of the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Jerusalem.
WHEREAS another year has passed without the recognition by the State of Israel of the canonical election of His Beatitude.
WHEREAS the venerable and ancient Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Jerusalem is unable to function as a legal entity in Israel, and is thus unable to oversee properly the Holy Shrines and property under its jurisdiction and to operate the schools, hospitals and other institutions through which it serves Orthodox Christians in the Holy Land.
WHEREAS Orthodoxy worldwide and the larger Christian community has been waiting more than two years for this recognition and finds the delay inexcusable.
BE IT RESOLVED THAT the General Assembly of the National Council of Churches of Christ in the USA respectfully renews its call to the State of Israel to recognize the canonically elected Greek Orthodox Patriarch of Jerusalem, His Beatitude Irenaios, without further delay, thus evidencing its respect for his centuries old rights as well as the rights of the Christian community at large.

Q: How to reduce number of parameter in constructor, half of them is to feed for base class I got this code smells from Sonarqube: "Constructor has 8 parameters, which is greater than the 7 authorized"
The class is not big, just under 100 lines of codes, but 4 parameters need to pass to the base class. These parameters were injected from DI, so I can not create another model and put them all into it.
I just have one solution is to use IServiceProvider in the base class, so I can reduce a lot of parameters. But in my opinion, use ServiceProvider make the code less clean
public class BaseClass : AuthenticationHandler (Microsoft class)
{
   private readonly IE e;
   private readonly IF f;
   private readonly IG g;

   protected BaseClass(IA a, IB b, IC c, ID d, IE e, IF f, IG g)
       : base(a, b, c, d)
   {
      this.e = e;
      this.f = f;
      this.g = g;
   }

   //some method use e,f,g
}

public class ChildClass : BaseClass
{
   private readonly IH h;

   // code smell here
   public ChildClass(IA a, IB b, IC c, ID d, IE e, IF f, IG g)
        : base(a, b, c, d, e, f, g)
   {
      this.h = h;
   }

   //some method use h
}

Is there any solution can help me reduce the parameter in this case but still keep the code clean and readable?
Thanks for attention.

Stonebridge in 1906 and quickly became one of the most popular camping equipment items of the day. A number of camping how-to books and dozens of magazine articles recommended the Stonebridge lantern, which can be seen in old book illustrations and photographs of early campers.Some of the authors that specifically mentioned or recommended the Stonebridge lantern include – Stonebridge lanterns were produced in galvanized steel, solid brass and aluminum.The wind shield, designed to protect the candle flame in high wind, contained an opening for smoke to exit the lantern.The lantern windows were made of isinglass (thin sheets of mica), a material that is transparent rather than crystal clear.
Isinglass is somewhat flexible and more resistant to breakage than glass sheet but pressing on it too hard leaves whitish, cloudy spots that cannot be repaired. Surviving Stonebridge lanterns manufactured more than 100 years ago are regularly found with the isinglass windows fully intact.
However, the method used by Stonebridge to install the isinglass makes it nearly impossible to replace a window if damaged or missing.
Woodcraft author Stewart Edward White highly recommended the galvanized model while author Horace Kephart recommended the brass version.
Aluminum models were generally not recommended as the aluminum of the day was very soft and could not take the abuses of camping without soon being bent out of shape.
NOTE: This is a significantly revised version of a much earlier post published on 11/9/2010 that I have since deleted.
The Stonebridge Automatic Folding Candle Lantern was patented and manufactured by Charles H. Army issued Medical Corp lantern and field lantern in addition to being selected for use by the Canadian armed forces and the armies of several European nations.

A: Well, that isn't an error, Scrapy is indeed working fine.
The main problem I can see here is that content on that webpage needs some time to load, so your script will need to wait, and you can achieve that by using Selenium or Splash.
My advice would be to use Splash, it was developed for use with Scrapy, so here are some leads that will help you.

Official GitHub repository of Scrapy-Splash:

Dear parents, For the 2019-2020 school year I am happy to announce that Chesapeake Science Point will be transitioning to group bus stops. By transitioning from single stops to group stops, the average time that students spend on the bus will be reduced by 25-30 minutes. On Wednesday, January 23, the proposed group stops will be posted on the website. Please review the proposed stops so that you can provide feedback. In addition, we are asking parents to stop by and look at the map that will be posted in the front office. This will allow the opportunity to place a pin on the location to which you would like the group stop to be. Please understand, this is not a guarantee that this will be the location of the stop. We're seeking your input so as to better serve your child's transportation needs. The map will be posted in the front lobby until January 31. The final routes will be published on February 8. I have collaborated with other principals of schools who have group stops and am confident this change will have an positive impact on your child's bus riding experience.

We are delighted to report that we've added over SIX dozen books to our Media Center's collection to start the new year off in the right direction! While the lion's share of the new acquisitions are fictional and support our kid's reading priorities for fantasy and adventure fiction genres, we've secure a number of non-fiction books in the sciences, as well quite a few Spanish literature books. Some of the authors featured are Michael Vey, Patricia McCormack, Gordon Korman, Jonathan Stroud, Brian Selznick, Randy Alcorn, Jennifer Donnelly, Margaret Peterson Haddix, and Fanny Billingsley. A couple of different, but fun additions, include Caroline Kennedy's "Poems to Learn by Heart" and Alice Ozma's "The Reading Promise". Kennedy's book presents poetry from a variety of authors (including Robert Louis Stevenson), that are fun and interesting reading – and offer a platform to practice memorization skills that are somewhat lost to many students today. "The Reading Promise", on the other hand, tells the story of a 4th grade girl's journey into reading – nurtured by her nightly reading with her dad from 4th grade up to her entering college. It's humorous, poignant, and affectionately written.

Death to Capitalist Hardcore is an EP by English grindcore band Sore Throat. It was originally released on 7" vinyl by Acid Rain Records in early 1988 to a pressing of 1000 copies, and has been bootlegged multiple times since. The cover artwork depicts a suited man being impaled on a spike, clutching what appears to be a record by Texan hardcore/crossover band Dirty Rotten Imbeciles who, at the time, were enjoying a brief period of commercial success.

The album is an example of micro-songs, with an average song length of less than 20 seconds. Also of note are the several songs attacking other bands, including the shortest (5 second) Fungicidal Tendencies, targeted at Suicidal Tendencies.

Drummer Nicholas Royles said of the experience:

Q: In a Nested Navigator Structure of Flutter, How do you get the a Specific Navigator? I have this problem when I have Nested Navigators. So something like,
class App extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      title: 'Flutter Demo',
      theme: ThemeData(
        primarySwatch: Colors.blue,
      ),
      initialRoute: "/",
      routes: {
        '/': (context) => SomeOneView(),
        '/two': (context) => SomeTwoView(),
        '/three': (context) => SomeThreeView(),
      },
    );
  }
}

class SomeOneView extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  _SomeOneViewState createState() => _SomeOneViewState();
}

class _SomeOneViewState extends State<SomeOneView> {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
   return Container(
      width: double.infinity,
      height: double.infinity,
      color: Colors.indigo,
      child: Column(
        mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
        children: <Widget>[
          MaterialButton(
            color: Colors.white,
            child: Text('Next'),
            onPressed: () => Navigator.of(context).pushNamed('/two'),
          ),
        ],
      ),
    );
  }
}

class SomeTwoView extends StatefulWidget {

  @override
  _SomeTwoViewState createState() => _SomeTwoViewState();
}

class _SomeTwoViewState extends State<SomeTwoView> {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return WillPopScope(
      onWillPop: () async {
        // Some implementation
      },
      child: Navigator(
        initialRoute: "two/home",
        onGenerateRoute: (RouteSettings settings) {
          WidgetBuilder builder;
          switch (settings.name) {
            case "two/home":
              builder = (BuildContext context) => HomeOfTwo();
              break;
            case "two/nextpage":
              builder = (BuildContext context) => PageTwoOfTwo();
              break;
          }
          return MaterialPageRoute(builder: builder, settings: settings);
        },
      ),
    );
  }
}

class HomeOfTwo extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Container(
      width: double.infinity,
      height: double.infinity,
      color: Colors.white,
      child: Column(
        mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
        children: <Widget>[
          MaterialButton(
            color: Colors.white,
            child: Text('Next'),
            onPressed: () => Navigator.of(context).pushNamed('two/nextpage'),
          ),
        ],
      ),
    );
  }
}

class PageTwoOfTwo extends StatelessWidget {

   @override
   Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Container(
      width: double.infinity,
      height: double.infinity,
      color: Colors.teal,
      child: Column(
        mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
        children: <Widget>[
          MaterialButton(
            child: Text('Next'),
            onPressed: () => Navigator.of(context).pushNamed('/three'),
          ),
        ],
      ),
    );
  }
}

So as you can see, I navigate from the Top Most Navigator provided by MaterialApp going down to the child Navigator's 'two/nextpage' which should then go to MaterialApp '/three'. The problem is that doing onPressed: () => Navigator.of(context).pushNamed('/three'), returns the Navigator of the current context which is the child Navigator. I need to access the MaterialApp's Navigator to navigate correctly. What is the right way to do this?
Also how to handle the case where the Navigator I want to access is somewhere in the middle of a stack of Navigators?

A: Most of the time, you'll have only 2 Navigator.
Which means to obtain the nested one, do:
Navigator.of(context)

And to obtain the root one do:
Navigator.of(context, rootNavigator: true)

For more complex architecture, the easiest by far is to use GlobalKey (since you'll never read Navigators during build)
final GlobalKey<NavigatorState> key =GlobalKey();
final GlobalKey<NavigatorState> key2 =GlobalKey();

class Foo extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      navigatorKey: key,
      home: Navigator(
        key: key2,
      ),
    );
  }
}

Which you can then use this way:
key.currentState.pushNamed('foo')

A: Actually you'd have to use nested Navigator when you have a sub navigation flow or inner journey. Please read the docs of nesting navigators.
However to get access to root navigator, you can recursively look for the parent Navigator from current Navigator and return current Navigator when it has no parent Navigator.
Example:
NavigatorState getRootNavigator(BuildContext context) {
  final NavigatorState state = Navigator.of(context);
  try {
    return getRootNavigator(state.context);
  } catch (e) {
    return state;
  }
}

//use it from any widget like
getRootNavigator(context);

EDIT:
Solution 1 :
To get a specific parent Navigator, I can think of extending current Navigator class to accept an id and find the Navigator by id. Something like:
class NavigatorWithId extends Navigator {
  const NavigatorWithId(
      {Key key,
      @required this.id,
      String initialRoute,
      @required RouteFactory onGenerateRoute,
      RouteFactory onUnknownRoute,
      List<NavigatorObserver> observers = const <NavigatorObserver>[]})
      : assert(onGenerateRoute != null),
        assert(id != null),
        super(
          key: key,
          initialRoute: initialRoute,
          onGenerateRoute: onGenerateRoute,
          onUnknownRoute: onUnknownRoute,
          observers: observers,
        );

  // when id is null, the `of` function returns top most navigator
  final int id;

  static NavigatorState of(BuildContext context, {int id, ValueKey<String> key}) {
    final NavigatorState state = Navigator.of(
      context,
      rootNavigator: id == null,
    );
    if (state.widget is NavigatorWithId) {
      // ignore: avoid_as
      if ((state.widget as NavigatorWithId).id == id) {
        return state;
      } else {
        return of(state.context, id: id);
      }
    }

    return state;
  }
}

Use NavigatorWithId instead of Navigator whenever required, like
return NavigatorWithId(
  id: 1,
  initialRoute: '/',
  onGenerateRoute: (_) =>
      MaterialPageRoute<dynamic>(builder: (_) => const YourPage()),
)

Then access it like:
NavigatorWithId.of(context, id: 1)

Solution 2 :
Pass ValueKey to the navigator and make a util function that would match key and return the required Navigator.
A function something like
NavigatorState getNavigator(BuildContext context, {bool rootNavigator = false, ValueKey<String> key}) {
  assert(rootNavigator != null);
  final NavigatorState state = Navigator.of(
    context,
    rootNavigator: rootNavigator,
  );
  if (rootNavigator) {
    return state;
  } else if (state.widget.key == key) {
    return state;
  }
  try {
    return getNavigator(state.context, key: key);
  } catch (e) {
    return state;
  }
}

Use
return Navigator(
  key: const ValueKey<String>('Navigator1'),
  initialRoute: '/',
  onGenerateRoute: (_) =>
      MaterialPageRoute<void>(builder: (_) => const RootPage()),
);

and access it like
getNavigator(context, key: const ValueKey<String>('Navigator1'))

The drawback of this method I can see as not all types of keys would be supported.
Note: I don't claim any of the above solutions to be best or optimal. These are few methods I came up with. If someone can come up with better approach, I'm eager to learn :)
Hope this helps!

A: You can do like this it always finds above navigator and pop
 context.findAncestorStateOfType<NavigatorState>()?.context.findAncestorStateOfType<NavigatorState>()?.pop();

A: I use nested navigator pretty commonly when creating a flow which can be dismissed all at once. It needs the parent Navigator(1 level above) to pop the entire flow. Creating a global key and storing it in state management for every nested navigator seemed too much for me. Here's my solution
class NestedNavigator {
  /// @param level 0 for current navigator. Same as Navigator.of()
  ///              1 for parent
  ///              >= 2 for grand parent
  static NavigatorState? of(BuildContext context, {int level = 1}) {
    var state = context.findAncestorStateOfType<NavigatorState>();
    while (state != null && level-- > 0) {
      state = state.context.findAncestorStateOfType<NavigatorState>();
    }
    return state;
  }
}

Usage:
NestedNavigator.of(context).pop();

Of course, if you want a specific navigator, you should definitely store GlobalKey and use it directly instead.
