Jamelah Reads The Classics: Agnes Grey
Jamelah Earle • August 22nd, 2007
I bet you were wondering when I was going to get around to part two of my official Brontepalooza, weren't you? Well, I assure you that I did not forget about the work of Anne Bronte, but I was kinda distracted with this language thing, you understand. Anyway, I am back with the reading things by people who have been dead awhile, so down to business we go. Jamelah Reads The Classics: Brontepalooza Part 2: Agnes Grey.
Agnes Grey tells the story of its eponymous heroine who becomes a governess for -- how do I put this gently? -- a family full of complete asshats. The kids she has to teach are horrible and the parents aren't better. Seriously? The little boy? Sociopath. Observe:
"I observed, on the grass about his garden, certain apparatus of sticks and cord, and asked what they were.
'Traps for birds.'
'Why do you catch them?'
'Papa says they do harm.'
'And what do you do with them, when you catch them?'
'Different things. Sometimes I give them to our cat; sometimes I cut them in pieces with my penknife; but the next, I mean to roast alive.'
'And why do you mean to do such a horrible thing?'
'For two reasons; first, to see how long it will live -- and then, to see what it will taste like.'
'But don't you know it is extremely wicked to do such things? Remember, the birds can feel as well as you, and think, how would you like it yourself?'
'Oh, that's nothing! I'm not a bird, and I can't feel what I do to them.'
'But you will have to feel it sometime, Tom -- you have heard where wicked people go to when they die; and if you don't leave off torturing innocent birds, remember, you will have to go there, and suffer just what you have made them suffer.'
'Oh, pooh! I shan't. Papa knows how I treat them, and he never blames me for it; he says it's just what he used to do when he was a boy. Last Summer he gave me a nest full of young sparrows, and he saw me pulling off their legs and wings, and heads, and never said anything, except that they were nasty things, and I must not let them soil my trousers; and uncle Robson was there too, and he laughed, and said I was a fine boy.'"
Yeah, serial killer in training, that one.
Unlike the other two Bronte novels I've read, Agnes Grey is a completely different kind of book than either Jane Eyre or Wuthering Heights. In Agnes Grey realism is where it's at, and it's a wonderful little book (my copy, not counting end notes, clocks in at 195 pages -- yes!). Anne Bronte has an engaging, clean style, which is refreshing (especially after Emily Bronte -- that was So Very Dramatic), and it's really a shame that her work isn't as well-known as that of Charlotte and Emily, because she was very good. There's a lot I could say about the book, and I debated with myself about whether or not I was going to write something much longer and more involved, but in the end I decided to keep it simple so as not to ruin it for anyone who may want to read it. (Go for it!) In short, Bronte's handling of the issue of the stratification of social classes in Victorian England is straightforward (she drew on her own experience as a governess) and she manages to pack a lot of hope, longing, disappointment and optimism in her narrative without ever veering into the territory of melodrama, which I think is a sign of a writer who has a lot of control over her prose. It really is a beautiful book with one of the most honestly human characters I've encountered in awhile. In fact, this may be the Bronte book I like best, so it's a good way to wind up this round of Jamelah Reads The Classics.
I'll be back with my list for the next round soon. (This time, it'll be 20th century classics I have managed to avoid up until now -- I seem to be stuck in the 18th and 19th centuries.) Stay tuned.
This article is part of the series Jamelah Reads The Classics. The next post in the series is Jamelah Reads the Classics: 20th Century Edition. The previous post in the series is Jamelah Reads The Classics: Wuthering Heights.

Kevin Reads! Quixote!At least your classic was short. Quixote is massive (890pg in my edition), but it's hilarious. It's pretty much Comedy 101 and might be the first metanovel. The novel is divided into two halves. The first is all about Quixote's inital adventure as a knight-errant and is a complete farce (e.g., the windmill battle). In the second half of the novel, all the people they meet have read the first book and, as a result, play elaborate practical jokes to deceive the delusional knight-errant and his simple squire. Quixote and Panza themselves are even asked to comment on the first half. What does that have to do with what Jamelah posted? I do not know. But I do know this: I can turn invisible if I really try hard.

Jonathan Swift and Lady Montagu: an 18th Century Literary Smackdown

Published in 1732, Jonathan Swift's poem, "The Lady's Dressing Room" follows a man, Strephon, as he goes through the unoccupied room of a woman named Celia (which means that he's an 18th century medicine-cabinet-snoop) and discovers that, though lovely in public, in private she's pretty much a disgusting pig ,,,
Philosophy Weekend: C. S. Lewis and the Abolition of Man
by James Berrettini Saturday, July 16, 2011 08:51 am
Sarah Palin was mocked for telling Barbara Walters for saying that she turns to C. S. Lewis for "divine inspiration." Richard Wolffe, a commentator on Chris Matthews' show, thought this indicated a lack of seriousness, assuming that she was referring to "a series of kids' books." Defending Lewis, Matthews interrupted saying: "I wouldn't put down C.S. Lewis." Wolfe continued: "I'm not putting him down. But, you know, 'divine inspiration'? There are things she could've said for 'divine inspiration.' Choosing C.S. Lewis is an interesting one."
C. S. Lewis was indeed an interesting writer, if not for the reasons that Wolffe believes. Like many people, he was unfamiliar with Lewis beyond knowing that he wrote the Chronicles of Narnia books, which we all "know" now, thanks to the good people at Walden Media, Walt Disney Pictures, and 20th Century Fox. Who was Lewis?

A Midsummer Night's Beatles
by Levi Asher Thursday, November 8, 2012 11:02 pm
A Midsummer Night's Dream is probably the funnest play William Shakespeare ever wrote. It winds down, after several twisted noctural love stories resolve themselves, with a usually hilarious (if performed well) play within a play, staged by several "rude mechanicals" from the local forest who've been enlisted to enact the legendary story of Pyramus and Thisbe before the court of Athens. A charming video has just emerged of the Beatles in 1964 performing this segment of A Midsummer Nights Dream for a British television show -- and handling their Shakespeare surprisingly well.
Why Am I Reading Harry Potter Again (and Again)?
by Ray Lumpp Monday, November 12, 2012 08:53 pm
The movies are over, J.K. Rowling has moved on to adult fiction, and yet here I am, lying curled between the couch and the heater, pinching the fat inner spine of The Goblet of Fire between my thumb and forefinger. This is my fifth time. As a teenager, I used to read by closet-light, flipping back to the first chapter immediately after finishing the last, as if expecting something new to happen. Only in Harry's world could such an enchanted book exist ...
"One cannot read a book: one can only reread it." -Vladimir Nabokov
There is something akin to magic in reading a novel for the first time: the first brush with a new world of characters and creatures is thrilling to imagine; each turn of the page lures us deeper into the mystery of the dream; and, by the end, we arrive at a catharsis of completion and knowing.
Once the mystery is solved, however, the story does not lose its power. In rereading, one can explore the text for hidden delights tucked into each book, free from the burden of mystery and with a keener eye for dramatic irony. Throughout the series, nods and winks to future happenings and cross-textual connections shape the rest of Rowling's ever-expanding, ever-darkening fantasy world. With a world so vast, it's difficult to catch it all in one take.

Philosophy Weekend: What "Orwellian" Meant to Orwell
by Tom Watson Saturday, December 21, 2013 11:49 am
A writer of the quality of George Orwell would never stoop to the level of using "Orwellian" as any kind of trendy shorthand. What does "Orwellian" really mean?


A gang bursts into a house in Belfast and shoots a 28-year-old man in both knees and his ankle in a paramilitary-style attack.
Four children saw a man being shot three times in a "brutal" paramilitary-style attack in Belfast, police said.
They were in a house in the Cavendish Street area of the city on Saturday night when three men wearing dark clothing burst in.
A 28-year-old man was hit over the head before being shot in both knees and his right ankle with a handgun by the gang.
He was taken to hospital to be treated for his injuries.
A female was also assaulted in the attack in the west of the city, which happened at around 7.45pm.
A detective said: "This was a brutal attack in a busy residential area and yet another example of how criminal groups seek to control communities through fear and violence.
"The residents including young children have been left terrified by these events."
Anyone who has information about the attack is asked to contact Musgrave Criminal Investigation Branch on 101, quoting reference 1064 of 30/12/17.

While the crew tries to penetrate the heart of the house, the worst elements of North Seleth seem to be uniting under a mysterious new leader.

Insurers not writing Salem-area homeowner policies
Craig Harris, Salem Statesman Journal
Published 9:12 p.m. MT Sept. 11, 2020
Bill Nichols, operations section chief, provides a update on the Beachie Creek Fire for Friday, Sept. 11.
Salem Statesman Journal
Several insurance companies on Friday put a moratorium on new homeowner policies for Salem-area buyers as wildfires continued to char large swaths of the state.
The temporary suspension postponed some buyers from getting into their homes. An industry advocacy group advised consumers to shop for a new insurance agency because the halting of new policies could run into next week as fires remain uncontained.
No agency has canceled policies across the state, according to the Oregon Division of Financial Regulation. Insurance companies are allowed to temporarily suspend the writing of policies on a case-by-case basis during a wildfire, and insurers would not have to notify the state if that occurs, a spokesman said.
The Statesman Journal was unable to obtain a precise list of insurers that had stopped writing policies, but one lender said it was primarily out-of-state companies without local agents.
Across the West: Wildfires have burned millions of acres. See what that looks like.
Homeowners insurance is required by lenders in the purchase of a house, and it's common for companies providing coverage to suspend writing policies during natural disasters, said Kenton Brine, president of the Seattle-based Northwest Insurance Council that covers Idaho, Oregon and Washington.
Brine said those involved in a home deal may not like the wait, but insurers can't take the additional risk when fires are out of control. He added that an insurance company also wouldn't let an existing homeowner increase coverage on a residence with a wildfire looming.
Brine said homebuyers likely will have to wait out the situation or shop around.
"Some companies may be better equipped and in a better situation to assess risk," Brine said. "You could do it online or with an independent insurance agent to see if companies are writing policies."
Steve Tandy of Caldwell Banker Mountain West Real Estate in Salem said his office was notified Friday that some home closings had been postponed because buyers couldn't obtain insurance.
"Insurance companies are pulling their binders. Therefore, mortgage companies can't do anything. So buyers and sellers can't close," Tandy said. "It's supposed to go into next week."

Insurance companies can't write policies during a wildfire because they have to protect their business as well as their current customers, said John Jolliff, vice president of underwriting and marketing for Oregon Mutual Insurance Co. in McMinnville.
Jolliff said it's common in California for insurers to suspend writing policies during wildfires, and a moratorium occurred two years ago during the Eagle Creek Fire in the Columbia River Gorge.
Jolliff added that lenders may be leery of closing a home sale in areas like the Santiam Canyon, where the Beachie Creek Fire tore through earlier this week.
Jordan Keck, president of Propr Lending in Keizer, said his office was informed that national insurance companies without local agents were primarily halting policies in the Salem area, while companies like Allstate, Farmers and State Farm with local agents were writing policies on a case-by-case basis.
Propr loan officer James Westby said he didn't think some of his clients were going to be able to close on their houses because of the wildfires but he said he was able to work with an insurance broker to get coverage.
Wildfires: A father's heartbreaking attempt to save his family from a raging fire
Keck and Tandy said it is extremely uncommon for Salem-area home sales to be postponed because of wildfires.
"It's one of those chaotic things," Tandy said. "It's like a term I learned in the Army, and it starts with cluster."
Brad Hilliard, a spokesman for the state Division of Financial Regulation, said even if a home sale is delayed, the property is likely protected during a wildfire by the current owner's insurance policy.
Hilliard said insurance companies are required to notify his agency if there's a statewide moratorium. So far, Hilliard said, that has not occurred.
However, insurance companies still can suspend writing policies in certain areas, especially in places where residents have evacuated because of the fires, he said.
Hilliard added that if Oregonians need assistance regarding insurance policies, they can call 888-877-4894 or go to the agency's website.

Legends in Concert: Live at the Big TNT Show
Ike And Tina Turner
This video provides you with just under an hour of Live performance footage from the dynamic duo Ike and Tina Turner. There is footage from : ABC entertainment presents "Now Lets Go with Ike and Tina Turner". Songs include "Shake", "A Fool in Love" and "It's Gonna Work Out Fine"; and the infamous variety show - The Ed Sullivan Show.
Ike & Tina Turner were an American musical duo composed of the husband-and-wife team of Ike Turner and Tina Turner. The duo started as an offshoot splinter act from Ike Turner's The Kings of Rhythm before the name changed to the Ike & Tina Turner Revue. The duo was once considered "one of the hottest, most durable, and potentially most explosive of all R&B ensembles".
Their early works including "A Fool in Love", "It's Gonna Work Out Fine", "I Idolize You" and "River Deep - Mountain High" which is featured in this video. These songs became high points in the development of soul music while their later works were cited for wildly interpretive re-arrangements of rock songs such as "I Want to Take You Higher" and "Proud Mary", the latter song for which they won a Grammy Award. They're also known for their often-ribald live performances, which were only matched by that of James Brown and The Famous Flames in terms of musical spectacle.
The duo was inducted to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1991
Mind, Body & Soul Sessions features R&B phenom Joss Stone live in concert in 2004.

The barefoot singer then gets down to business, performing a solid selection of material from both albums, including "Super Duper Love" from the first and "You Had Me" from the follow-up. Stone receives strong support from a tight band, distinguished by powerful drummer Caesar Griffin.

Live From The House Of Soul
Charles Bradley & Menahan Street Band
The first installment of Daptone Records' new video series, Live From The House Of Soul. Directed by Poull Brien and shot in the backyard of Daptone's House of Soul in Bushwick, Brooklyn, features Charles Bradley at his best with the Menahan Street Band. Charles Bradley's voice has evolved from a lifetime of paying dues, having nomadically labored for decades at various day jobs from Maine to Alaska - singing and performing in his spare time - before re-settling in his hometown Brooklyn and eventually finding a musical home at Dunham. In his distinctively rough-hewn timbre one hears the unmistakable voice of experience - each note and gruff inflection a reflection of his extended, sometimes rocky, personal path. It's only fitting that producer, Brenneck (also a member of The Dap-Kings and The Budos Band), would recognize in Bradley a kindred musical spirit - a singer whose performances exude both raw power and poignant beauty.
In Session Soundcheck 2006
There may be few real gentlemen left in the world, but Soundcheck can definitively say that R&B superstar Ne-Yo is one of them. This live concert performance shows a day with the singer as he prepares for the release of his third solo album, 'Year of the Gentleman.' And, not surprisingly, Ne-Yo delivers a focused, star-studded set that proves this performer belongs on the stage just as much as he does behind the scenes. With energetic live performances Ne-Yo charms the audience with all time favorite hits like So Sick, Stay and Time.
Live at the House of Blues
John Legend brings his old-school soul sound to Hollywood's House of Blues stage. This set features remarkable renditions of "Let's Get Lifted" and "Ordinary People" and guest appearances by Kanye West and Snoop Dogg.
Luther Vandross' superb live performances have met with both critical and public acclaim. This stunning concert was recorded during Luther's record-breaking ten S.R.O. shows at London's Wembley Arena, during his 1988-89 world tour.
Live in Bonnaroo 2014
Lee's "folksy, bluesy sound" has been compared to that of John Prine and Norah Jones. His music is said to utilize the "supple funk of his vocals and arid strum of his guitar" while recalling "the low-volume, early-'70s acoustic soul of stars like Bill Withers and Minnie Ripperton". In this Bonnaroo live performance Amos brings up all his major hits and surprises for the fans
James Bay talks writing process and releasing a sketch book.
Keyshia Cole grew up listening to her mentor Tupac Shakur and Mary J. Blige as her greatest musical inspirations. In this intimate live performance we get the chance to go behind the curtains and enjoy the most appreciated songs performed live.

He delivers renditions of such classics as "Georgia On My Mind," and "I Will Survive,", and he performs a number of medleys that include such recognizable standards as "When the Saints Go Marching In," "Sitting on the Dock of the Bay," and "Tutti Frutti."
AVO Session
Stefanie Fabienne Heinzmann (born 10 March 1989) is a Swiss soul and pop singer. She gained public interest in early 2008 when she won SSDSDSSWEMUGABRTLAD, a talent contest hosted in Stefan Raab's late-night-show TV total on the German ProSieben network.
Following her win, Heinzmann subsequently released her debut single "My Man Is a Mean Man," which debuted straight on top of the Swiss Singles Chart and became a top ten hit in Austria and Germany during the following months. Her pop soul-influenced album Masterplan was released in March 2008 and made it to the top ten in Austria and Germany, also reaching number one in Switzerland, where it was certified platinum by the IFPI for more than 30,000 copies sold. In September 2009, Heinzmann's second album Roots to Grow was released.
One of the best-selling Swiss artists of the late 2000s, Heinzmann has won several high-profile prizes as a recording artist such as Prix Walo, the LIVE Krone, a Comet, a Swiss Music Award, the Radio Regenbogen Award, and the 2009 ECHO Award.
Recorded in 1992, this unforgettable performance features Mariah backed by an all-star band in the most intimate of settings. Included are the #1 hits "Emotions," "Someday" and the Jackson 5 classic "I'll Be There" featuring Trey Lorenz.
Live at V Festival 2015
Sam Smith takes over the stage at Live at V Festival in this electrifying live experience.
Experience Amy's sold out 2007 shows at London's Shepherd's Bush Empire at the height of her prowess during her BRIT and Grammy Award winning year. Captured in pristine High Definition by the award-winning director Hamish Hamilton, the concert features performances of all the hits from the multi-million selling 'Back to Black', including the international smash hit single 'Rehab', 'Back to Black', 'Tears Dry On Their Own', and 'Love Is A Losing Game'. This stunning show also includes her earlier material and the sensational covers 'Valerie', originally recorded in collaboration with Marc Ronson, 'Me and Mr Jones' and 'Monkey Man'.

The new Anti-Money Laundering Regulations 2017 (the "Regulations") expand the scope of the Cayman Islands Anti-Money Laundering ("AML") regime and impose requirements on all Cayman domiciled funds (both regulated and unregulated) to appoint natural persons to perform the roles of AML Compliance Officer ("AMLCO"), Money Laundering Reporting Officer ("MLRO") and Deputy MLRO ("DMLRO") (together "AML Officers").
The Cayman Islands Monetary Authority has issued a deadline of 30th September 2018 for all existing entities to appoint AML Officers. New entities registering as of 1st June 2018 must comply at the time of the submission of the registration application.
The same individual may act as AMLCO and either MLRO or DMLRO, however the roles of MLRO and DMLRO must be carried out by separate persons. The DMLRO must be of "similar status and experience to the MLRO".
The AMLCO will be the point of contact with supervisory and other competent authorities and will be responsible for reporting to the Board of Directors (the "Board") on the fund's systems and controls and AML/Combatting the Financing of Terrorism ("CFT") compliance issues. The Board will be reliant on the information and recommendations of the AMLCO in order to satisfy itself that the fund's statutory obligations are being met.
The AMLCO will be suitably qualified and have sufficient skills and experience in the area of compliance, particularly in the areas of AML and CFT. They will be of suitable seniority and authority for the Board to react to and act upon their recommendations.
The MLRO/DMLRO must be independent and act autonomously. They are the point of contact for suspicious/unusual activity for all staff and will be responsible for filing suspicious activity reports to the authorities.
The MLRO/DMLRO will have sufficient expertise in the area of AML/CFT with the ability to identify suspicious activity and transactions. They too will be of suitable seniority and authority.
Report suspicious activity to the appropriate authorities.
KBA offers the provision of suitably qualified professionals to assume the roles of AMLCO, MLRO and DMLRO from its four person team, Clifford Burke, Áine Suttle, Deirdre O'Callaghan and Angela Godfrey, dedicated exclusively to AML/CFT compliance.
The KBA AML team members have all been appointed by a number of global asset managers to act as MLROs to investment funds and to advise them on AML/CFT issues. They are responsible for providing guidance and expertise on AML/CFT documentation to fund boards, reviewing and testing the AML/CFT procedures of fund administrators, providing training to directors and reporting to the directors on AML/CFT compliance matters.

Artificial Climate series from Untitled Climates project. In "artificial climate," I collect one of my investigations of the swimming pool as an artificial climate, in particular elaborating on the varying relationship of water and space that is often hidden behind the times when the facility is normally accessible. Climate, from ancient Greek klima, meaning inclination, is commonly defined as the weather averaged over a long period.
Over historical time spans there are a number of nearly constant variables that define climate -such as plate tectonics, that takes over millions of years to process- other variables are more dynamic and greatly depend on the globalized human activity, which can inform changes faster than a decade. That said, the difference between climate and weather is well summarized by the popular phrase "climate is what you expect, weather is what you get." At the same time, if weather is what every day we have to deal with, it is climate that defines the growth and development of any living being, both animal and vegetal.
In other words, the climate defines the landscape. In the light of all this, climate offers a critical point of view on the landscape at the time of globalization. This is due to three reasons. The first is because landscapes are disappearing due to climate change.
So, it is time for us to picture and document fading landscapes as the expression of an old climate. Secondly, today we can technically reproduce climate in botanical gardens and other leisure or educative facilities, and we make flora and fauna to travel around the globe.
So, since landscape can be manipulated, reorganized, subjectively represented, we should develop a sensibility to the appearance of the climate, as well as its technical determinants and infrastructure. The third is that climate is within the materiality of the air, that traps the light and greatly defines the visual quality of the landscape.
Thus, it is climate, instead of landscape, that is at the center of my photographic work at the time of globalization, and these three reasons substantiate the main directions of my work.
Maria Lezhnina is an awarded photographer and architect, interested in the contemporary city and landscape. Her experience is particularly diverse, falling between research projects for the Swiss landscape to an exhibition at the Italian National Museum of 21st Century Arts on the impact of new energy systems, then teaching architecture and knowledge of space to the children with the Finnish school ARKKI, and working for design practices in Moscow (Russia), Mendrisio (Switzerland), Genova, Milan (Italy), Baku (Azerbaijan), and Taipei (Taiwan). This particular interdisciplinary background, as well as exposure to different cultures, has finally raised her interest in photography.

Noxxon reveals results from PHASE 1/2 trial of NOX-A12/KEYTRUDA®
Category: #health By Mateen Dalal Date: 2019-10-01
Colorectal cancer (CRC), also known as bowel or colon cancer, is a type of cancer that involves abnormal growth of cells that can invade or spread to other parts of the body. Growing prevalence of CRC has led various pharmaceuticals firms to develop novel drugs using advanced research and clinical trials.
NOXXON Pharma N.V. is one such firm that develops innovative cancer treatments and has recently announced new clinical findings from the Phase 1/2 trial of NOX-A12 paired with Keytruda® (pembrolizumab) in patients suffering from microsatellite-stable, metastatic colorectal and pancreatic cancer.
Reportedly, the data was presented at the ESMO (European Society for Medical Oncology) Congress 2019, held in Spain.
According to reliable sources, the combination of pembrolizumab and NOX-A12 showed stable disease in 25% of patients, induced an immune response and sustained time on treatment, compared to previous therapy for 35% of patients. Moreover, constant follow-up of patients has established an overall survival statistic of 22% at 12 months and 42% at 6 months.
Speaking on the development, Aram Mangasarian, CEO, NOXXON, said that both metastatic pancreatic and colorectal cancers have a very limited remedial alternative. However, the positive results from the clinical data and the fact that three heavily pre-treated patients lived over a year reinforces the capability of NOX-A12 to target the tumor microenvironment.
Incidentally, in addition to the positive outcomes, the company has also prior achieved a monumental landmark when it completed the capital increase of €1 million which was previously halted. Noxxon has also revealed that its future investments are fixed for the upcoming investment round.
Commenting on the attained capital, Mangasarian said that the company is delighted to reveal the conclusion of the capital increase which has positioned itself at a secure position which would ensure the progression and beginning of Phase 1/2 clinical study in brain cancer.
Noxxon is also dedicated towards building the clinical studies sites in Germany where the trial was given a green signal by the Ethics Committees and regulatory authorities, he added.

Doctor Who (2005) s03e07 – 42
There have to be TV shows where they unintentionally duplicate episodes. Soap operas, whatever. The same plot must get repeated. Unintentionally. Because it very obviously happens intentionally, such as with 42, which is a riff on a great two-parter from last season, only without anything similarly great.
Like, if you're going to remake something… don't remake something great and do a middling job of it. It doesn't help the supporting cast is wanting. It doesn't help it's a horror episode with a director who can't do horror. Though Graeme Harper's direction is rather wanting overall.
It also has, maybe, a reveal from a "Star Trek" episode. Maybe. It's from something—and it was used again in an excellent Mike Carey Barbarella comic—but last season's original version of 42 was also a riff on something else. Riffing on riffs in genre is fine… just have something to do with it. Writer Chris Chibnall has got zip. Oh, wait, he gives Freema Agyeman a love interest—William Ash—but just a temporary one. I guess Ageyman gets a substantive subplot to herself, leaving David Tennant to deal with the more wanting supporting actors. Ash is at least cute (ish), whereas Tennant's hanging out with captain Michelle Collins (her ship is falling into the black hole… sun, sorry, sun). Collins is… miscast. The part's not good, Harper's direction's not good, but it does seem like Collins is supposed to be doing something more in the part and it never clicks. It's peculiar.
Or maybe I was just remembering how good the actors were in the previous version of this episode.
Either way… Collins and Tennant are not magic together or even mildly amusing like Agyeman and Ash.
There's a do-it-yourself Cyclops (X-Men Cyclops) thing going on with the possessed astronauts. Or whatever they're called. Doesn't matter.
It's a pointless episode but should be a lot better.

Q: How can a client use prestored server's certificate to do SSL handshake? I know that during normal SSL handshake, the client receives the server's certificate and verifies it, then uses the server's public key to encrypt the session key.
I want to write a SSL client in C language on Linux. During SSL handshake, it doesn't have to wait for the server's certificate and it sends the session key encrypted with the server's public key that have already been downloaded previously.
I am learning how to use OpenSSL, I only need the do-handshake part here.
Thanks for attention. Why to do this? The ISP or gateway can censor the certificate and block the connection according to names in the certificate.

A: Unfortunately, this is impossible. As part of the SSL (or TLS) protocol, the server will always send its certificate.
If you would like to bypass ISP censorship, I recommend using a VPN or Tor.

The defendants are accused of setting fires that destroyed several barns, including two used by the firefighter's former employer. Investigators said the former Northampton firefighter lost his job with a local farmer a week before the fires began in mid-March.
Court documents don't list attorneys for either defendant; a listed number for Emmons couldn't be found Saturday and a number listed for Keeney wasn't in service.

Motherwell History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms
Early Origins of the Motherwell family
The surname Motherwell was first found in Cheshire at Mobberley, a parish, in the union of Altrincham, hundred of Bucklow. [1] The parish dates back to the Domesday Book of 1086 when it was first listed as Motburlege and literally meant "clearing at the fortification where meetings are held," from the Old English "mot" + "burh" + "leah." [2] Moberly was held by Bigot de Loges at the time of the taking of the Domesday Book and conjecturally, the family name is descended from this ancient Norman Baron. St Wilfrid's Church, Mobberley traces it's origin to the oldest part of the church dating about 1245. Early records revealed Patrick de Mobberley founded an Augustinian priory here in 1206 in honour of the Blessed Virgin Mary and St. Wilfrid, but the priory only existed for a short time. During a restoration in 1888, remains of a Saxon church were also found. Nearby, Mobberley Old Hall is a country house that dates back to 1612. The first record of the name was Patrick Moberlegh who was listed in East Cheshire c. 1220. Almost one hundred years later, William de Modburlegh was listed in Cheshire in 1308. [3] Ralph de Modberleg was listed in the Assize Rolls of Cheshire in 1260. [4]

On the 22nd of December Panda was cycling around Vilnius Old Town with the purpose to hug as much people as possible. The citizens who met Panda on their way were encouraged to welcome it with the hug and become the part of the unique record. Photos of those involved in the event will appear in the I LOVE PANDA campaign album of joy.
I LOVE PANDA is the national campaign of joy, which is based upon the values of human rights. It aims at developing friendly and respectful cyberspace and mutual understanding between young people online. Panda has been chosen to become the symbol and the ambassador of the campaign and is encouraging everybody to build up as much joy and kindness in their everyday lives as possible.
"The target of this campaign is to reduce the levels of hate speech online and media. The origins of cyber bullying are the real world. Hate speech is the language of unhappy, frustrated individuals, to whom aggressive behavior is an attempt to feel better", – says CEO of NISI Neringa Jurciukonyte. Panda aims at changing that kind of behavior. The purpose of the hug record was to spread positive energy to the citizens and to prove that it is fun to be kind to each other. The shared joy returns several times larger.
"We wanted to show that there is always an alternative for negativity. It does not take much to make others feel better. Hugs and smiles cost nothing, but they are extremely valuable and nearly thousand happy faces of the citizens Panda hugged proves that", – said Campaign coordinator Viktorija Bruzaite.

84 Rock Stars Who Have Famous Kids
Debra Filcman
Debra Filcman Published: June 26, 2018

As a particular classic rock song has noted, "the kids are alright." In the gallery below, you'll see what the children of many of our favorite musicians have followed their own creative pursuits.
In many of the cases, their children have tried their hands at music. While some of them have gone on to great fame, like Julian Lennon, Jakob Dylan and Jason Bonham, others have yet to fully establish themselves. It also helps when both parents are musicians, such as with the offspring of James Taylor and Carly Simon, Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love and Loudon Wainwright III and Kate McGarrigle.
Then there are those – such as the progeny of Eddie Van Halen, Cheap Trick's Rick Nielsen, Glenn Frey and Eddie Money – who have joined their parents' bands. Then there are those, like Dweezil Zappa and Malcolm Bruce, who have balanced their own careers while also forming bands that pay tribute to their late fathers.
Acting has been another career choice for them. The kids of Phil Collins, Lenny Kravitz, Steven Tyler and his former Aerosmith bandmate Rick Dufay have all gone on to successful and acclaimed careers on the small and big screens. David Bowie's son Duncan Jones and Peter Gabriel's daughter Anna-Marie have become known for their work behind the camera.
And, of course, there's modeling. The daughters of Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Simon LeBon and Bob Geldof have all chosen to follow in their mothers' footsteps, doing runways and photo shoots. For others, like Stella McCartney, Jade Jagger and Diva Zappa, another aspect of the fashion industry – designing – has brought them success.
Find out more about their lives and many more below.

The Darwin Awards exist for a reason: some people aren't great at making sure they, you know, stay alive. Case in point: People still smoke cigarettes, even at the gas pump (it's dangerous because gasoline is highly combustible and cigarettes require a light. Just don't do it).
Oil company Royal Dutch Shell and software giant Microsoft say they've cooked up an artificial intelligence that'll help save a few lives.
On Monday, Microsoft published a blog post detailing a pilot project at two Shell gas stations, one in Thailand and one in Singapore. The AI looks for signs of unsafe behavior, such as smoking at the gas pump, and alerts staff — giving them a chance, hopefully, to snuff out the smokes before the whole place goes boom.
The key to the quick turnaround is edge computing, which processes data near its site of origin rather than in the cloud. In this example, which uses Microsoft's Azure IoT Edge platform, the footage analysis happens onsite at the gas stations. Only frames that raise any red flags move on to the cloud for advanced processing.
We could use similar tech for applications far beyond the pump, according to the post, like predicting equipment failures in industrial settings.
The word "intelligent" might seem a bit out of place in the context of people who think it's totally fine to spark a lighter while inches away from a highly flammable substance, but hey, if this AI can ensure we don't end up following in the footsteps of Derek Zoolander's besties, we're all for it.

Moose will not re-sign Keane
The Manitoba Moose, AHL affiliate of the Vancouver Canucks, announced on Tuesday that they will not be renewing the contract of forward Mike Keane.
In his fifth season as Moose captain last year, Keane, 43, appeared in 75 games where he scored nine goals and 22 assists for 31 points. In six Calder Cup Playoff games last season, Keane collected two points and two penalty minutes.
Over the past five seasons, Keane has scored 36 goals and 78 assists for 114 points and 244 penalty minutes in 365 games with Manitoba. In 59 Calder Cup Playoff games with the Moose, he has eight goals and 12 assists for 20 points and 25 penalty minutes.
In 2006-07, he was the recipient of the American Hockey League's Fred T. Hunt Award for sportsmanship, determination, and dedication to the game of hockey. Keane was also selected as the captain of the Canadian team at the 2007 AHL All-Star Classic in Toronto.
In his previous 22 seasons, Keane has won three Stanley Cups (Montreal 1993, Colorado 1996, Dallas 1999) and played in 1,230 NHL games where he's scored 171 goals and 484 points as well as 947 penalty minutes with Montreal, Colorado, Dallas, the New York Rangers, St. Louis, and Vancouver.
He has seen action in 443 career AHL games where he's scored 61 goals and 182 points and collected 314 penalty minutes. Prior to joining the Moose, Keane also appeared in the American Hockey League with the Sherbrooke Canadiens back in the 1987-88 season. He made his professional debut with the Canadiens in 1987 and helped them advance to the Calder Cup Finals.
Keane played his 1,500th career hockey game as a professional on Feb. 3, 2009, vs. the Lake Erie Monsters.

Q: Android programmatically check if app is localized for a language I have an app that needs to provide strings localized in the language of another device. As soon as my app knows the language of the other device it creates a new Resources class. Similar to this question.
The resource object just created can fall back when getting strings if the language is not supported (assume other device is set to en_US):

*

*values-en-rUS/strings.xml

*values-en/strings.xml

*values/strings.xml

Instead of the third fallback I want to fall back to the language of my own device (assume my device is set to es_ES it would then be):

*

*values-en-rUS/strings.xml

*values-en/strings.xml

*values-es-rES/strings.xml

*values-es/strings.xml

*values/strings.xml

I could achieve that very easy if I could programmatically check if a language/region is supported by my app. Found this AssetManager.getLocales() but think it doesn't help.
Is there a way to achieve the desired fallback or a way to check if the app is localized in a specific language/region?

A: See here. Tested it and got the correct device locale as a two sign string. Code is:
String Language = Locale.getDefault().getLanguage() //returns eg. "de" for german

Q: Getting the resetInlineEdit function to work with inline edit support I have the following visualforce page that I would like to use inline editing with.
<apex:page standardController="Account" extensions="customController" >
<apex:form id="theForm">
<apex:sectionHeader id="sectionHeader" title="Account" subtitle="{!Account.name}"/>

<apex:pageBlock mode="maindetail" id="thePageBlock" >

    <apex:pageBlockButtons location="top" id="buttons">
        <apex:commandButton action="{!update}" id="saveButton" value="Update"/>
        <apex:commandButton onclick="resetinlineedit()" id="cancelButton" value="Cancel" />
    </apex:pageBlockButtons>

    <apex:pageBlockSection id="contactInfo" title="Contact Information" columns="2" collapsible="false">
        <apex:outputField id="homePhone" value="{!Account.Home_Phone__c}"/>
        <apex:outputField id="primaryEmail" value="{!Account.Primary_Email__c}"/>
        <apex:outputField id="businessPhone" value="{!Account.phone}"/>
        <apex:outputField id="billingEmail" value="{!Account.Billing_Email__c}"/>
        <apex:outputField id="otherPhone" value="{!Account.Other_Phone__c}"/>
        <apex:outputField id="technicalEmail" value="{!Account.Technical_Email__c}"/>
        <apex:inlineEditSupport id="editSupport" event="ondblclick" />
    </apex:pageBlockSection>

</apex:pageBlock>
</apex:form>

What I want to happen is if a user changes a field and then hits the cancel button the fields in the page block section revert to what they were.  As it is now clicking the cancel button removes the undo button, but keeps the entered values in the field.
Can anybody tell me why this is happening, and how to get the desired functionality?

A: I think the problem is that resetInlineEdit() appears to be missing (see also this question.) I tried running your code in my dev org and Firebug showed the following error:

ReferenceError: resetInlineEdit is not defined

Q: Why can't I use initializer list construction of an object in the below example in c++ I am trying to create objects of Contact. But I am not able to do that with initializer list. When I remove new inside Contact class constructor, it works fine but when I add new, compiler throws an error. I want to understand why I am not able to use initializer list. Where can I use initializer list and where can I not?
#include"stdafx.h"
#include<string>
using namespace std;

struct Address
{
    string street;
    string city;
};

struct Contact
{
    string name;
    Address* address;
    Contact(const Contact& other)
        : name{other.name},
          address( new Address(*other.address) ) {}
    ~Contact()
    {
        //delete work_address;
    }
};

int main()
{
    auto address = new Address{ "123 East Dr", "London" };
    //Issue while creating john and jane below
    //Compiler error: Cannot initialize john with initializer list
    Contact john{ "John Doe", address };
    Contact jane{ "Jane Doe", address };
    delete address;
    getchar();
    return;
}

A:
Contact class constructor, it works fine but when I add new, compiler throws an error.

You most likely mean "after I added the copy constructor, compiler throws an error".
Using
Contact(const Contact& other)
    : name{other.name},
      address( Address(*other.address) ) {} // Without the new

is obviously wrong. You cannot initialize a pointer with an object.
You can use:
Contact john{"John Doe", address};

only if:

*

*There is an appropriate constructor given the arguments, or

*There is no user defined constructor.

Since neither of those is true after you add the copy constructor, the compiler correctly points that out as an error.
You can fix that by adding another user defined constructor:
Contact(string const& n, Address* a) : name(n), address(a) {}

N.B.
Please note that you need to follow The Rule of Three for you class. Otherwise, you will run into problems at run time.

N.B. 2
In main, you have
return;

That is not correct. You should remove that line or change it to
return 0;

CES gadget show: Devices connect us from the crib to old age

By Kimberly Pierceall - Associated Press - Associated Press
LAS VEGAS (AP) — Umbilical cord? These days, it's more like a USB cord.
Whether in the womb or in one's twilight years, our lives are becoming ever more connected. Nowhere has that been more evident than at the annual CES gadget show in Las Vegas, where everything from pregnancy tests to beds to dog bowls now come with apps at the ready, collecting valuable data along the way.
Some offer solutions; others think they're "smart." One starts at the very beginning: life itself.
BLUETOOTH FOR BABIES
Until now, that three-minute wait for a home pregnancy-test result comes with no built-in distraction beyond staring at the stick to see if one line or two is fading in. No longer. First Response will start selling a Bluetooth-enabled test in the spring that links with a woman's smartphone, recommending BuzzFeed quizzes and videos or health-related articles to pass the time while a clock ticks down the seconds to her result.
The test, which could cost $14.99 or $21.99 depending on the retailer, also claims to tailor itself to the test-taker from the very first yes or no question: Do you want to have a baby? And it doesn't stop once the test is done, as it can track a potential due date, add that to a woman's phone calendar and offer to share the news with selected friends and relatives via email or text.
MAN'S BEST BLUETOOTH-ENABLED FRIEND
Call it torture or training, but the creators behind Clever Pet hope their $299 light-up dog dish can teach critical thinking to canines. The bowl dishes out portions of food if the pet paws at the correct light; if all goes well, it might eventually train them not to inhale a bowl of food all at once.
The company created several games with the lights that get progressively more difficult the better the dog gets at winning the food. The dog's owner gets all the data.
"A persistent dog will always get food," said Philip Meyer, the company's product officer. "A motivated dog will get it faster."
SMART FRIDGE, SMART BED
No need to open the fridge door to know what's left inside. LG Electronics will let you peek through an opaque glass window that lights up from the inside with a tap, saving electricity and possibly preventing your next poor late-night-snack decision. With a different fridge, stocking up wouldn't require a grocery run; one from Samsung and Mastercard comes equipped with an installed ordering app in the appliance.
Another company contends you don't need a smart fridge to make yours a thinker. The company Smarter expects by summer to begin selling mats with sensors and in-fridge cameras that can remotely tell you what's left in your fridge. They'll set you back $130 to $150 each.
Making beds smarter is Beddit's goal. The company's thin belt-length sensors sold for $149 go under the sheet and are supposed to measure your heart rate, respiration and restless tossing and turning throughout the night.
WATERING DOWN THE WATER USE
Some gizmos promise easier ways to cut down on water use, particularly in drought-stricken areas. Nascent Objects' $100 Droppler is to water what the app Shazam is to music; it listens closely to the running water in a faucet to tell you how much you've likely used.
Oakland-based Edyn, which debuted a solar-powered soil moisture detector last year, introduced a $60 solar-powered water valve going on sale early this year. Its app-accompanied gadget will only water plants when they need it. A smart showerhead called Hydrao has lights that change from green to red the more water you use; of course, it also sends the data to an app.
BIG MOTHER
The mother hub is watching. Sen.se's Silver Mother hub, that is, which aims to help adult children or caregivers make sure that an elderly person living alone takes his or her pills, drinks enough water and goes about other daily routines.
The small plastic figure resembles a Russian nesting doll that can nudge seniors with some not-so-subtle hints — the sound of running water, for instance, might remind someone it's time to drink some water. It can also call in with recorded reminders that it's pill-taking time or send alerts to caregivers and loved ones if something seems awry.
For $290, you get the hub and four sensors you can program and monitor from an app.

South Korea shouldn't backslide on LGBT rights – HRW
By Froilan Malit on November 28, 2019 Asia News, News
The passage of non-discrimination laws that would protect lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people and other minorities have already been blocked by conservative lawmakers in South Korea. Now, they're trying to defang one of the few watchdogs protecting LGBT rights in the country.
This month, opposition politician Ahn Sang-soo introduced an amendment that would remove "sexual orientation" from the mandate of the National Human Rights Commission of Korean (NHRCK), a body tasked with promoting human rights and investigating discriminatory acts in South Korea.
The amendment would seriously undermine its ability to address discrimination against LGBT people in education, employment, public services, and other areas.
The NHRCK's work is badly needed. LGBT people face widespread discrimination in South Korea, with one national survey finding that nearly half of South Koreans do not want gay friends, neighbours, or colleagues.
In interviews with Human Rights Watch, LGBT youth described how indifference or outright hostility toward LGBT people left them feeling isolated and alone, jeopardizing their mental health and well-being.
Ahn's misguided opposition to LGBT rights illustrates why the NHRCK's work is so vital. Ahn justified the amendment by repeating offensive and discredited myths about LGBT people. He has also repeated the dangerous misconception that LGBT rights endanger the freedom of religion, which increasingly has been used to permit and even encourage discrimination against LGBT people around the globe.
International human rights bodies have clearly said that governments cannot subject people to discrimination because of who they are or who they love. The NHRCK has been one of the few government entities in South Korea that has taken this principle seriously and worked to protect LGBT rights.
In the weeks ahead, South Korean lawmakers should reaffirm that discrimination against LGBT people is unacceptable. Rejecting Ahn's amendment would be a start, but it isn't enough. President Moon Jae-in, himself a former human rights lawyer, and South Korean legislators should speak up publicly supporting victims of all rights violations, including LGBT people, said HRW.
They should also finally enact non-discrimination legislation that protects the rights of minorities and show the country that LGBT rights are human rights, said the rights group. (Source: HRW)

This is all heated up from the bad controversy after people who bought the game Power Armor Edition were angry, rightly so, that their bags that they received, were cheap looking nylon material.
Well, finally Bethesda promised to make things right. They told the fans to submit a ticket online to get their replacement bags. That's where the problems started. Some people who submitted tickets, realised that they had somehow had gotten access to parts of Bethesda's support system. Which meant, they can access personal information of other customers and among other things. And it was a train wrecked from there.
"As previously reported, on December 5, 2018, we experienced an error with our Customer Support website that resulted in the exposure of a limited number of customer support tickets. Upon discovery, we immediately took down the Customer Support website, remediated the error and restored the Customer Support website. We have conducted further investigation and analysis of this incident and would like to provide our Bethesda community with an update.
People also found that they can update and even close support tickets. So, the bugs have been fixed now, according to Bethesda. They've also said that they're investigating and apologised to its fans.
Maybe Bethesda should give another 500 atom credits just to make things right, am I right guys? Bethesda just couldn't take a break .

Sauergas (auch Saures Erdgas genannt, engl. "sour gas") ist die Bezeichnung für unaufbereitetes Erdgas (Rohgas), das einen signifikanten Schwefelwasserstoff-Gehalt aufweist, aber unter Umständen noch weitere saure Gase und sonstige Bestandteile enthalten kann. Einzig relevant für die Klassifizierung als Sauergas ist jedoch der Schwefelwasserstoffgehalt. Bei Sauergas handelt sich somit um ein Gasgemisch.

Sauergas wird entweder direkt zur späteren Erzeugung von nutzbarem Erdgas gefördert oder es tritt als unerwünschtes Begleitgas bei der Erdölförderung auf, wenn es nicht wirtschaftlich genutzt werden kann.

Der Begriff sauer (im Sinne von säuerlich, vergoren, verdorben, herb, bitter) spielt dabei auf den typischen Geruch des Schwefelwasserstoffs an, der an faulende Eier erinnert. Schwefelwasserstoff ist ein Gas, das zudem korrosiv, ätzend, leicht entzündbar und bereits in geringen Konzentrationen toxisch ist. Auf Grund dessen wird der Schwefelwasserstoffanteil unter Anwendung von Gaswäscheverfahren bereits möglichst früh bei der Erdgasförderung (direkt beim Bohrloch) aus dem Rohgas entfernt oder reduziert.

Erdgasaufbereitungsanlagen

Zur weiteren Aufbereitung und Reinigung von Sauergas dienen Erdgasaufbereitungsanlagen. In Deutschland passiert dies in der von ExxonMobil Production Deutschland GmbH betriebenen Erdgasaufbereitungsanlage Großenkneten. Bis vor wenigen Jahren gab es noch eine zweite Erdgasaufbereitungsanlage der NEAG in Voigtei, die jedoch 2014 den Betrieb einstellte.

In Österreich erfolgt die Erdgasreinigung in der Erdgasaufbereitungsanlage Aderklaa, die von der OMV betrieben wird.

Sauergasreinigung – Verfahrenstechnik
Um Sauergas von Schwefelwasserstoff zu befreien, existieren vielfältige verfahrenstechnische Methoden zur Gasentschwefelung.

Sauergasunfälle
Neben dem Umstand, dass Sauergas aufgrund des hohen Anteils an Kohlenwasserstoffen (Methan, Ethan, Propan etc.) brennbar und explosiv ist, ist vor allem auch der Schwefelwasserstoffgehalt Ursache für viele tödlich verlaufende Sauergasunfälle.

1975 starben 9 Menschen in Denver City (Texas) in Folge eines Sauergasunfalles an einem Erdölbohrloch. Bei Wartungsarbeiten starb 2011 in Alberta ein Arbeiter aufgrund eines Gaslecks. Bei der Explosion und der Freisetzung von Sauergas starben 2003 in China 191 Menschen. Durch Gaslecks an Erdölbohrlöchern starben Kälber in der Region Saskatchewan (Kanada).

Sauergasabfackelung
Das bei der Erdölförderung anfallende und oft nicht wirtschaftlich nutzbare Sauergas wird durch Abfackelung verbrannt. Dabei wird der Schwefelwasserstoff in vergleichsweise ungefährliches Schwefeldioxid umgewandelt. Die Methode des Abfackelns nutzt man ebenfalls, um zum Zweck der Wartung von Rohren oder Anlagen das toxische Sauergas aus den Anlagenteilen abzulassen.

Süßgas
Im Gegensatz zu Sauergas wird Erdgas ohne Schwefelwasserstoffanteile als Süßgas oder süßes Erdgas bezeichnet. Im Englischen wird der Vorgang des Reinigens von Erdgas bzw. des Entfernens von Schwefelwasserstoffs auch als Sweetening (übersetzt: Süßen) bezeichnet.
