Q: Set Height Programmatically for a Single UITableViewCell? I need to set the height for a single UITableViewCell in my UITableView programmatically. How can I do this?
I need this one cell to be 150 pixels high and all the others can stay at their default 44 pixels in height.
Thanks.

A: You will have to know, or figure out what cell index you want to make the taller one.
Lets say its your first cell.
-(CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {

    if (indexPath.row == 0) { //change 0 to whatever cell index you want taller
        return 150;
    }
    else {
        return 44;
    }
}

A: SWIFT ANSWER
Specify which section and row you want to change (remember the count starts at 0, not 1) in the heightForRowAtIndexPath method.
override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, heightForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> CGFloat{
    if indexPath.section == 0 && indexPath.row == 0{
        return 150
    }
    return 44.0
}

A: There is a delegate function for the UITableViewCell height.
Here you specify the indexPath of that particular cell and return your height for it
- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
    if(indexPath.section == yourSection && indexPath.row == yourRow) {
        return 150.0;
    }
    // "Else"
    return someDefaultHeight;
}

A: - (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath

You can set the value for the cell at a specific index path with this method, and a default value for the other cells.

A number of pH-triggerable ionic polymers with different type of charges and their densities on the polymer backbone have been prepared through Butler's cyclopolymerization process using N,N-diallylaspartic and N,N-diallylglutamic acid hydrochloride salt monomers. SO2 spacer was introduced in similar polymerization protocol to obtain their respective copolymers. These cationic, anionic, and zwitterionic polymers having reactive groups on the pendants have been utilized to explore the complexation behavior between the synthesized polycation and polyanion. The basicity constants, viscosity and solubility behaviors of the polymers were determined. Anti-scaling behavior of some of the polymers were evaluated by studying their inhibition effects on the precipitation of CaSO4 from its supersaturated solution. These pH-triggerable homo- and co-polymers have demonstrated to be effective anti-scaling agents reaching up to 100% for the duration of the study. Furthermore, the aqueous two-phase systems (ATPSs) of the pH-triggerable polymers and polyoxyethylene have been studied. The transformation of these water-soluble polymers to insoluble forms within a workable pH window makes them a special kind of recyclable ATPSs for advanced application in the separation of protein and other biomolecules. Novel resins of these polymers were equally obtained by Butler's cyclopolymerization of the respective monomers with the aid of cross-linker 1,1,4,4-tetraallylpiperazinium dichloride and with or without sulfur dioxide. The resins were found to be effective generally in the removal of toxic metal pollutants with Pb(II) and Co(II) as specific examples. Finally, these novel cationic, anionic, and zwitterionic polymers having reactive groups on the pendants have been utilized for the formation of multilayer coating on silica adsorbents by layer-by-layer (LBL) assembly. The efficiency and binding capacity of the polyelectrolyte complexes have been examined. The mechanically and thermally stable coated multilayered polyelectrolyte complex having relatively large surface areas have been used for the effective removal of toxic cadmium metal ions from aqueous solutions. In addition, some of the ionic polymers were also hydrophobically modified before LBL assembly. This has imparted the new material with the ability to attract and remove organic contaminants (methylene blue and eriochrome black T) from model and industrial wastewaters. Overall, the solid adsorbents coated with the synthesized ionic polymers containing interesting blends of carboxylate as well as trivalent nitrogens have imparted excellent complexation properties in water treatment processes.


Barrister Clément Joël Nakong says the Cameroon Criminal Procedural Code does not have provisions for the issuance of international arrest warrants as some people erroneously say. He gave to understanding that the warrant issued for former finance minister Essimi Menye in itself is invalid in the US.
According to the barrister-at-law, Cameroon has diverse arrest warrants and summons but no international arrest warrant. He stated in an interview that the warrant issued for Essimi Menye does not give Cameroonian security forces the right to travel abroad and arrest the former minister though everyone knows he is in the United States.
"The warrant empowers security forces to track down the minister and take him to prison, but Cameroon would need to have signed a judicial convention with the US, without which they cannot hunted him down from his current location." said Barrister Nakong.
He however said, being members of Interpol, Cameroon and the US may have a slim chance to collaborate in extraditing the suspect accused of embezzling state funds.
"If the fugitive former minister has an American nationality, it would be impossible for Cameroon to capture him. America does not extradite its citizens" said the legal mind. He noted that Cameroonian security forces can easily go after Cameroonians in France and arrest them because both countries have signed a convention on judicial operations.

Neil Gray: Getting The Excuses In Early…
Letter to the Airdrie & Coatbridge Advertiser, 05/06/17
I was disappointed that SNP candidate Neil Gray signalled his disrespect for the good people of Airdrie by failing to turn up for the General Election hustings in Airdrie but unsurprised. His claim that independent councillor Alan Beveridge was not an impartial person to organise it was weak, as it was made apparent to all candidates that other than organising the event he would be taking no part in the hustings itself. He advertised the openly in the Advertiser, had the event filmed for public record and even invited the local press to ensure that things were impartially recorded. In the partial world of politics this was as balanced as it could get, and it seems to me that the SNP group were simply intent on Neil Gray not being held up to public scrutiny. It's a pretty bizarre fact but Mr Gray is in a position where he is the incumbent standing for re-election and has never taken part in an open hustings in the town! I noticed that the letters page contained a tag-team attack on Councillor Beveridge from Councillor Stocks and Alex Neil, clearly designed to discredit the hustings before it commenced and lay the groundwork for Neil Gray's feeble last minute call-off. Councillor Stocks showed again how out of touch he is by failing to grasp that Councillor Beveridge wasn't even chairing the hustings, while I laughed out loud at Alex Neil's charge of betrayal of the SNP; this from the man who is now the Unionist media's go-to guy for an anti-SNP quote whenever Brexit is mentioned! I'm fairly certain that Neil Gray will be re-elected, but this will not be an endorsement of him, but a by-product of the Unionist vote splitting along sectarian lines. Overall the candidates themselves were not impressive and I'm fairly certain that whichever candidate wins, the people of Airdrie will be the losers.

In the Airdrie and Coatbridge Advertiser last week it was reported that then Cumbernauld Councillor Alan O'Brien had published an election leaflet in which he claimed that the North Lanarkshire SNP group leader David Stocks had provided "dishonest testimony" in support of charges brought by fellow SNP Councillor Michael Coyle.
The claim was rebuffed in the article by Councillor Michael Coyle who said that:
"We have reported this leaflet to the police and the relevant authorities as it is full of lies and smears. These actions bring politics into disrepute.
It was the view of the the court that the incident was an argument between two councillors which, unfortunately, was established before any of the other witnesses had the opportunity to give their testimony.
However, the police found there was enough evidence to arrest and charge Mr O'Brien and the procurator fiscal felt it appropriate to progress the case to a Crown court hearing.
These are both facts and the case was dismissed. It was a not guilty verdict, but Mr O'Brien would no doubt have everyone believe his version of events."
So, what evidence would be required for the police to charge Mr O'Brien and for it to be progressed to court? Given that there appears to be no physical evidence and no CCTV evidence then I would have to draw from that that the evidence in the case was all in the form of witness statements. In Scotland if someone makes a statement to the police that you committed an offence, all that is required for charges to be pressed is another statement which corroborates the first statement. So two allegations is enough "evidence" to allow a charge to be made. That is a fact. So the procurator fiscal is passed a charge which all things being in order will then be assigned a court date for the Sheriff to sort out. That's also a fact.
Those "facts" however are not an indication of guilt. That is to be established in court and the court found that Mr O'Brien was not guilty, after hearing the testimony of Councillor Stocks and Councillor Coyle. Yet Councillor Coyle somehow expects us to take the allegation of guilt over the findings of the court? Generally if someone is found not guilty then their version of events is the one which has been believed. If Councillor O'Brien's testimony wasn't even heard it would suggest that the evidence put before the court did not support the charges when placed under scrutiny.
The article concludes with a quote from Inspector Steven Miller who states that they are reviewing its content and looking into it. That bland quote looks serious and you would expect it to have been fully investigated by now. I contacted Alan O'Brien prior to the publication of this article and he stated that as of this date he has not been approached by the police in relation to this matter. Nor does he expect to be.

The Worst Delusion? Self Delusion…
Yesterday Airdrie MP Neil Gray took to social media to say that he was delighted to chair the latest meeting of the North Lanarkshire SNP group and that re-elected group leader David Stocks would also be leading the council soon.
Yes, that's right. David Stocks. Only last week in the Airdrie and Coatbridge Advertiser it was reported that he was accused of dishonesty in a campaign leaflet released by Independent Candidate Alan O'Brien, in which he claimed David Stocks provided dishonest testimony to back up fellow Airdrie Councillor Michael Coyle. Mr O'Brien was found not guilty.
This is the same David Stocks who couldn't even manage his voter strategy in his own ward and came second to his colleague who, if he had bothered to put out any election leaflets, would have been listed as the No2 choice! In a ward which polled at way below the national average at only 39%, where he failed to be beat the first past the post threshold of 978 votes and where he simply failed to get the SNP vote mobilised, somehow Neil Gray thinks this is the man to lead not only North Lanarkshire SNP but North Lanarkshire Council!
There's no delusion worse than self delusion and Neil Gray would be minded to remember that. Mr Stocks presides over an SNP group so divided that when David Baird won in Bellshill, and incidentally won convincingly, not one SNP 'colleague' cheered. An SNP group so divided that the Coatbridge Branch remains suspended. An SNP group so divided that one of it's brightest stars was hived off miles from his home where he would struggle to pick up votes. An SNP group so divided that while across the country it is running on an SNP 1&2 policy (and in Cumbernauld an amazingly successful SNP 1,2,3 policy), in North Lanarkshire it shows some SNP candidates being elected with over 1000 more FPTP votes than their running mates, and those running mates then failing to gain from second preference votes. And this doesn't even scratch the surface of Ardrie South where Councillor Michael Coyle ran his "Team Coyle' leaflet strategy where his SNP 'team mate' wasn't even mentioned.
This is the man and this is the team that Neil Gray must now rely upon to get himself re-elected. With the SNP in Airdrie reduced to barely two men and a dug, Neil Gray must be wondering where is the campaign team he sorely needs to retain Airdrie? As MP for a branch which squandered a membership of over 1000 he will need to do what the branch appears to have been doing since time immemorial: relying on the national vote to carry them across the finishing line. Michal Coyle's recent comments about Scotland having rejected independence and Alex Neil's huffy pro-Brexit stance mean it looks like they will be missing from the frontline campaign, and it will be up to Neil Gray alone to rally the troops. When I saw him at a party hustings in 2015 I found him to be an unconvincing public speaker, unable to go off script. In the two years since, he'll need to have improved considerably to inspire what remains of the local party. I can see him retaining the seat purely on the national vote, though it will be touch and go, and it will not be unexpected if he loses.

You Wait All Year For An Article about Airdrie SNP Shenanigans… And Then Three Come At Once
I imagine there was much wailing and gnashing of teeth at SNP HQ this morning when the morning papers were delivered. Front page above the fold is usually a sign that the story is one of the most important of the day, and while this was the second of two main stories on the front page of The Herald, it's still a sign that this isn't a minor story.
Sophia Coyle Story, Herald, 02/05/17
The footage referred to in the article, a video on the Facebook page of Independent candidate Peter Owens has almost 30,000 views at the time of writing and can be found HERE, along with the following Press Statement issued on Sunday 30th April 2017:
Press Statement by Peter Owens, Independent Candidate, Airdrie South
Earlier today I was attending a car boot sale in Lanark, something I do as a regular hobby and it is something which I normally find relaxing and enjoyable. While I was at my stall I was approached by Airdrie North SNP Councillor Sophia Coyle and two other individuals, her husband Robert Clive and a man who I know to be employed as a nightclub bouncer, Gavin Scott.
Both Sophia Coyle and Gavin Scott began to film me while Sophia Coyle began making a series of allegations about me in front of the people present. She publicly stated that I had stolen goods from my employer and from a charity which I volunteer for, and was selling them at the car boot sale.
I was horrified, not only that Sophia Coyle was aware of exactly where I would be of a Sunday morning, but that she would travel over 16 miles accompanied by two burly males and be equipped with video equipment to record what I consider to be a premeditated attack on my character. I was immediately placed in a state of fear and alarm, and I have reported the incident not only to my employer, but to Police Scotland. Given the reported culture of "fear and intimidation" associated with Airdrie SNP I was less than impressed by the response I received from Police Scotland and will be pursuing this matter with them in the forthcoming days; as I and my family are concerned that we may receive further visits in the run up to the local elections. I shall also be seeking legal advice at the first opportunity regarding the defamatory claims made by Sophia Coyle.
I was able to make a video recording of my own and this has been passed to Police Scotland. In the meantime I am making the video footage available online. There have been many allegations made of bullying associated with Airdrie SNP, and I shall not be bullied. I believe the best way to deal with such behaviour is to shine a light on it, and I am calling on the First Minister of Scotland, Nicola Sturgeon, to order an immediate investigation into the conduct of SNP Councillor Sophia Coyle.
End of Press Statement
In an expanded online article HERE it says that several other councillors have voiced their concerns. One of those was Councillor Alan Beveridge who also released his own press statement alleging online harassment:
Press Release by Alan Beveridge, Independent Councillor, Airdrie North
I was disturbed to see a statement released last night on social media by the candidate in the Airdrie South ward, Peter Owens, an independent candidate. In it he tells how he was publicly confronted by Sophia Coyle of the SNP, who made a number of serious allegations against him and his character; that he was placed in a state of "fear and alarm"; that he took his concerns to Police Scotland, and that he was "less than impressed" by their response.
Peter's experience is not unusual in many respects. Only a few weeks ago Councillor Sophia Coyle used social media to make a post where she alleged that a "so-called member of my family" made death threats against her. This allegation was not only false, but it incited concerning responses on social media which were worrying enough for me to take them to Police Scotland. I was taken aback at the poor initial response from Police Scotland, and I have continued to speak with senior officers in relation to this matter. I believe that Councillor Sophia Coyle's behaviour does not meet the high standards which we as elected representatives are expected to maintain, and as such I have also reported the matter to the Standards Commission and await the outcome of their investigations.
I have highlighted in the past the culture of fear, bullying and intimidation that exists within the SNP in Airdrie and have raised this directly with the First Minister Nicola Sturgeon; and I am renewing my call for a full investigation into the conduct of their representatives in North Lanarkshire. Councillors and prospective councillors must be allowed to freely take part in the democratic process without being placed in a state of fear and alarm simply because they have chosen to take part in that process. I am also calling on Police Scotland to review their procedures in relation to their response to what is perceived by the recipients as politically motivated intimidation in North Lanarkshire and I expect them not to be swayed in that duty.
As if that wasn't bad enough for the party in Airdrie, the Airdrie & Coatbridge Advertiser had two hard hitting articles in their Wednesday 3rd May issue. Having studiously ignored the subject for long and weary their timing was impeccable, and things lurched from bad to worse as they published Cumbernauld North Councillor Alan O'Briens claims that Airdrie Councillor, SNP Group Leader and possible Head of North Lanarkshire Council was caught lying in court to provide an alibi for fellow SNP Councillor Michael Coyle.
The paper then went on to detail the bizarre situation in Airdrie South, where Councillor Michael Coyle who recently engaged in a political hokey-cokey of being taken out of the running before being put back in, had issued election leaflets asking people to vote for him and his wife Agnes as Team Coyle, despite her having been deselected. This situation was also a feature on the letters page where John Love highlighted what he felt was a deception on the SNP voters in Airdrie South.
Advertiser 030517: Team Coyle
It gets even more bizarre when you see that Alex Neil has apparently also endorsed Agnes Coyle. There's no mention of his actual running "mate" Paul Di Mascio and surely even the most ardent SNP members must now be asking questions. If I were a member I'd be asking if the branch was actually funding this, and if it was I'd be asking for my money back! I'm also hearing that in Airdrie Central there have been NO SNP leaflets issued and if this is true it really is a sign that the 1000 plus membership gained off the back of the 2014 referendum has been totally and utterly squandered.

It's an #OpenHouse invitation/gathering during the last days of #Summer2010 (doors of my home open for people to drop by, stay a while, cook a bit, drink a bit, talk a bit, play a bit maybe even sleep over) on the very edge of the Countryside in Surrey.
Although it is #OpenHouse, I'm specifically inviting people I love, respect, admire, listen to, learn from, take strength and motivation from. I hope you can come to my place for any amount of time, from an hour to a few days, you're very very welcome. I'd love to share my home and outdoor space with you.
We could have days out… Brighton and the Seaside (40mins), The Surrey Hills (15 Mins) , Devils Dyke (30 Mins), plus lots of National Trust sites that are localish, trips in Central London are only 35 Mins too. Or we can have days "in" lounging. My garden backs onto woodland it's circa 4/5 miles of fields and woods and walks with views on high. It's easy to just go hike, and there is a lovely pub about 30 minutes into a walk.
Zone 6 on the Rail Network direct from Victoria, London Bridge 32 Mins and Clapham Junction 25 mins on modern air conditioned trains. From the South around Brighton, it's a quick whizz up to East Croydon by train and a change for a journey 15 Mins back south. I'm 10 Mins and a straight road from Junc 6 on M25 too, I can handle up to 6/7 cars if parked right :), there's no yellow lines on the road either.
I've connected and built friendships with an incredibly wide section of people via Twitter, I'm really hoping a good slice of you can come and meet each other, swap stories, world changing views maybe. Everyone is guaranteed a hearty welcome.
What about Kids ? Well look at the garden… of course! they are welcome, lots and lots to explore :-).
It would be excellent if you came and you're in to gardening and/or cooking, you'll be a very special guest indeed – Bring your tools and gadgets, recipes and ingredients.
I've got room for 10 or so to sleep each night, I reckon (airbeds, sharing the floor etc), and the garden can take a good selection of tents, even a couple of massive ones!
If @leashless comes, maybe we could build a Hexayurt ? I would really love that!
It would be very cool if you brought along some supplies (anything you like), enough to share maybe ?
I'd defo like a big conversation about #BigSociety. Oh…. music, there will be MUSIC and your welcome to come and "plug and play" wherever you find a set of speakers. Not BIG! LOUD! I haz lovely neighbours, but, well, you know, loud enough for the moment.
I really hope to see you and yours, thanks for reading. Hope you enjoy some of my garden snaps.

Growing your own on the rooftops of Dalston's Green Zone
by Barbara Hilton/ September 20, 2011/ Environment, Features/ No Comments/
Dalston Roof Park
'Dalston Green Zone' has become the new name of the area around Dalston Junction. After a summer where urban farming has spread from shops to rooftops and local markets, the area has become a hub for aspiring urban-farmers and a positive addition to the community.
The United Nation's Food and Agriculture Organisation recently issued a statement warning that the rapid growth of the worlds 25 megacities would result in the cities experiencing severe food-shortage and problems with feeding themselves. London is not amongst the worlds top 20 megacities, but it isn't far behind, which is just one of the reasons Londoners are exploring new and alternative ways to sustain them selves.
Kirsten Cheng, manager of the Farm:shop on Dalston Lane, explains: "Urban farming is about more than just homegrown tomatoes. People have forgotten where food comes from and getting involved in urban farming brings you back to reality, it is so satisfying and something way beyond a trend."
With its 'aquaponic' micro fish farming, indoor allotment and rooftop chicken coop, the Farm:shop is almost completely self-sustainable and leaves a minimum carbon footprint. The shop, which opened in November 2010, works as an urban farm, a shop and a café, where everything you order is grown in the shop.
Guy Nicholson, Hackney Council Cabinet Member for Regeneration and the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, said: "Farm:shop captures the essence of Dalston as a place where passions for art and culture mix with efforts to improve the environment. Farm:shop creatively uses an empty space for a positive means. The Council will continue to support projects like this."
Farm:shop
However, the Farm:shop is just one of the many urban farming projects that has contributed to the wave of green initiatives in Dalston.
Zachary Butcher is project developer of Dalston Roof Park, an allotment and rooftop garden project, which is located just around the corner from the Farm: Shop on Ashwin street. He says: "The challenge of turning an unconventional space into a green environment is one of the aspects that has turned the locals on to urban farming."
Butcher continues: "The alternative use of the spaces makes you realise that you can use anything, your back yard, your rooftop or a windowsill – it is about realising the potential." This statement is echoed by Cheng, who adds that the "pop-up" atmosphere in the area has motivated people to start alternative projects like the Farm:shop and Dalston Roof Park.
Dalston Roof Park is part of the organisation Bootstrap Company, which has existed since 1977. Bootstrap and Dalston Roof Park aim to make sure that the local community becomes more sustainably prosperous. All summer, the roof has functioned as a garden, workshop space for local kids, music venue and bar. Bootstrap is also the owner of London's biggest solar power installation, which provides electricity to the studio and office spaces in the building.
Last year Butcher put an advert in the Hackney Gazette looking for tenants for the newly-opened allotment project and was instantly swamped with enquiries and applications.
Butcher says: "I was quite surprised about the amount of responses. When I was a child going to the garden was boring, but today it seems to draw people in."
However, the rise in east London urban farming is not without criticism. The quality of the locally grown vegetables distributed via various vegetable box schemes have been questioned and people are quite sceptical about the life of the roof chickens.
Butcher explains: "I might not get an organic certificate, but you do the best you can by using organic growing bags, no chemicals etc. but essentially people do it for themselves."
Cheng says: "People come into the shop and say that they get in touch with things they don't normally do when living in the city."
Living in a city like London, the distance to green spaces can be far and it is easy to forget how nature works and where the food you eat come from.
According to Butcher, getting involved in urban farming helps to break down the "false food stereotypes" that have been formed after years of people buying food wrapped in plastic and ready-meals from the supermarket.
According to a report by SUSTAIN, The Alliance For Better Food and Farming, urban farming activities create a way for low-income groups to get access to fresh fruit and vegetables, along with many of the other benefits such as contributing to household food security and nutrition. With Hackney being one of London more deprived areas, projects like these seemed to be especially well placed and beneficial to the community.
Both Cheng and Butcher agree that this particular type of urban farming is valuable in creating awareness, motivation and inspiration for people to do similar things at home and hopefully in due time be able to create a network of local urban farmers who can contribute to the Farm:shop, vegetable box schemes or the Stoke Newington Farmers Market – a mix of ultra-local producers selling bread, cakes and other specialities and farmers within 129 miles of Hackney. The Market is run by the organisation Growing Communities, that also runs a vegetable box scheme.
Inevitably for this area, Dalston Roof Park has also had its fair share of "20-30-year-old 'trendies,'" especially now that living green and healthy have become fashionable, claims Butcher.
Because of the location of the projects, people easily jump to the conclusion that this is just another Dalston/Hackney fad and the interest from the creators and users will quickly wither. However, the community and therapeutic aspect of urban farming brings it beyond trend.
Butcher explains: "Many of our allotment owners are either retired or recently made redundant," adding that that the allotments give them something to do and also work as a great place to socialise and meet people. For Butcher and Bootstrap bringing the community together has been an important aspect of Dalston Roof Park from the beginning.
Cheng adds: "Without sounding like a lunatic, seeing a seed you planted grow into a real plant, watering and nurturing it is incredibly gratifying and therapeutic. You really get in touch with your basic instincts, which in some way helps you calm down and process a busy day better."

The Rivesaltes camp was established as a military facility in 1936 in the Pyrenees-Orientales area near France's border with Spain. It served as a camp for those displaced during the Spanish Civil War during the 1930s, and later as a prison for refugees on the losing side of that conflict.
The Vichy regime created special camps to roundup Jews and "undesirable refugees." Rivesaltes was perhaps the most active transit camp. The first internees arrived there on January 7, 1941. When it reached its peak population that year, Rivesaltes had 8,000 prisoners, an estimated 3,000 of whom were children (who were separated from their mothers). Thousands of Jews were shipped from Rivesaltes to Auschwitz. During one three-month period in 1942, nine convoys carried 2,313 Jews to Auschwitz.
The camp was closed in November 1942 and the approximately 1,000 internees remaining were sent to Gurs, with the exception of the gypsies, who were deported to the Camp of Saliers.
After World War II, Rivesaltes was used as a prisoner of war camp for captured Germans. Later it was a camp for Algerians who fought against the French in the Algerian War.
In May 2006, it was announced that a memorial marking the role of France's Vichy government in shipping Jews and others to Nazi death camps would be created at Rivesaltes. This will be the first official Holocaust memorial in Southern France, the stronghold of the collaborationist Vichy government.

Comic Legends: The 'Creepy' Revenge of the Ghost Artists!
by Brian Cronin
Welcome to Comic Book Legends Revealed! This is the six hundred and eighty-sixth installment where we examine comic book legends and whether they are true or false.
Here's part 1 of this week's legends!
NOTE: The CSBG Twitter page hit 10,050 followers, so I did a bonus edition of Comic Book Legends Revealed earlier this week. We'll keep the bit going, though. Every 1,000 followers of the CSBG Twitter page, I'll do a bonus Comic Book Legends Revealed that week.
COMIC LEGEND:
A group of creators who worked uncredited for a cartoonist had a matter of revenge on the cartoonist in the first issue of Creepy.
Don Sherwood served in the Korean War as a member of the Marine Corps. After the war, he drew some small, unsuccessful strips and also worked as an assistant on a few different comic strips, including a stint as the assistant to George Wunder, the cartoonist who had a long run on Terry and the Pirates following the departure of the original Terry and the Pirates creator, Milton Caniff, in 1946 (Caniff created his own creator-owned comic strip, Steve Canyon).
In the early 1960s, Sherwood created Dan Flagg, an adventure comic strip starring a member of the U.S. Marine Corps...
The strip could not survive the unpopularity of the Vietnam War, so it ended by the end of the decade. Sherwood worked on a variety of comics after that, including a Partridge Family comic book and a Flintstones comic strip.
Now, let's be clear, it was EXTREMELY common for comic strips to employ "ghost artists," uncredited writers and artists who would do work on the strip and not get credited. It was this sort of absurd conceit that these creators did all of the work themselves. That attitude carried right over to the comic books, where Joe Shuster would be credited for years while he was not still drawing the Superman feature and Bob Kane was the only person to get ANY credit for Batman comics until, like, the late 1960s.
Sherwood employed a number of prominent comic creators of the era, from writer Archie Goodwin to artists Al Williamson, Angelo Torres and Al McWilliams.
What was apparently a bit unusual about Sherwood's usage of assistants, however, is that, as far as the creators themselves believed, it appeared to them that Sherwood wasn't actually doing practically anything on the strip, as Goodwin was writing it and the other guys were alternating on penciling and inking the strip.
When Warren launched the horror magazine series, Creepy, in 1966, Goodwin and Williamson decided to write a comic story about their experience, only with a horror-style ending. The three assistants were based visually on Goodwin, Torres and McWilliams while Williamson used his own visage for the cartoonist.
Like a lot of these things, while it was an obvious parody, Williamson and Goodwin did not like to confirm it, but years later, George Evans (who was Wunder's assistant on Terry and the Pirates himself and later did some work for Sherwood's Dan Flagg and then worked for Warren on Blazing Combat) confirmed the whole story to Jon B. Cooke in The Warren Companion.
George Evans: Don called me and asked me if I would do such and such for him, and I guess it was because he had alienated everybody in one way or another and was going down the line to get everybody he could, so I think I inked or did a week's work for him. I told him that was all I was gonna do. Whatever he inherited, it must've been pretty good, so he had this Dan Flagg thing, and it ran for a whole! I don't know if you...Jon B. Cooke: I never saw it, no.Evans: I went to visit him at his apartment and studio he had there, and would you believe he had a carpet already made there, hand-made, with pictures from Dan Flagg woven into the carpet! He really thought he was gonna set the world on fire, I guess. Alden McWilliams also did work for him. Anyway, he was using all these people and signing this work with his own name, of which he was apparently doing little or nothing! He alienated a number of them, so that...Cooke: What was the alienation, that he wasn't paying?Evans: No, he paid! At least he paid me, and I assume the rest. But it was the business of his ego.Cooke: He was insufferable?Evans: He lived in a Don Sherwood fantast world. Actually, I think when the stuff was all finished and put together by the rest of us, by all these people, he believed it was his creation and demeaned...he didn't with me, because I wasn't with him long enough, but I got the feeling that he sort of demeaned and almost insulted some of the guys.Cooke: So, the story that appeared in Creepy #1, "Success Story," was based on those experience?Evans: On the actual doing. Except, of course, the grisly ending!
Funny stuff! Thanks to Jon B. Cooke and the late George Evans for the story! I can't confirm that Sherwood really treated the other artists that way, but it's still interesting to see them turn it all into a comic book story!

Ultragenyx, Arcturus announce research collaboration
Ultragenyx Pharmaceutical, a Novarto, Calif.-based biopharmaceutical company, and San Diego-based Arcturus Therapeutics, a leading RNA medicines company, have entered into a research collaboration and license agreement to discover and develop messenger RNA (mRNA) therapeutics to certain rare disease targets using Arcturus' UNA Oligomer chemistry and LUNAR nanoparticle delivery platform.
Under the terms of the agreement, Ultragenyx will make an upfront payment of $10 million to Arcturus. During the initial phase of the collaboration, Arcturus will design and optimize mRNA therapeutics for two selected rare disease targets. Ultragenyx has the option to add up to eight additional rare disease targets during the collaborative research period, and will be responsible for the development and commercialization of all products under the collaboration. Arcturus will be entitled to preclinical, clinical, regulatory, and sales milestone payments of up to $156 million for each target, as well as reimbursement of all research expenses and mid-single to low double-digit royalties on commercial sales.
"This collaboration with Arcturus will help us address a wider range of rare diseases than is possible with currently available approaches," said Ultragenyx CEO Emil Kakkis, M.D., Ph.D. "The joint program combines Arcturus' technology platform, which we believe solves some of the key issues associated with mRNA therapeutics, with Ultragenyx's expertise in rare disease drug development."
"The Ultragenyx-Arcturus partnership is an ideal combination to leverage the potential of mRNA therapeutics to provide important new treatments for rare disease patients," said Arcturus President and CEO Joseph Payne. "Arcturus is thrilled to work with Ultragenyx, one of the premier rare disease companies, to identify treatments for challenging rare disease targets using our messenger RNA therapeutics platform."

Question: I was a happily-married woman for a couple of years after my marriage. My husband was always very supportive and loving. The problems started cropping up when my in-laws shifted with us.
Now they live with us and we are considered a big happy family by all our relatives and even my own parents. Initially, my mother-in-law was very dominating and she used to keep advising me for every household chore. It used to be quite irritating as I am a working woman and I know very well how to plan my day. Just to keep the home's environment calm and stress-free, I used to listen and follow her advice quietly.
Now it has been seven years since they have being living with us, and my patience is no more supporting me. She always has a set of questions ready for me and I am tired of answering her all the time. But for the sake of my husband, I happily adjust with all these things.
Another problem that disturbs me the most is that she does not let me spend any time with my husband and kids. Whether I am going to park with kids, taking them for cycling or planning to go out for a movie, she is ready to accompany us everywhere. I crave for some time with my husband and kids alone.
Response by Ms. Rachana Awatramani: The relationship between the daughter-in-law and mother-in-law is very fragile. Both can have a good bond and as well as also high chances of arguments and misunderstandings. This is because they care for the same person and the same family members but can have different perceptions.
I understand that you have been finding it difficult to cope with daily challenges from the time your in-laws have moved in with you. It can be very stressful when you do not get to spend time with yourself and with your husband and children. You have been very understanding and adjusting to the situation from seven years and it is normal if you are feeling stressed; all humans have their own threshold of patience.
I would suggest you take some time out for yourself and reflect on your feelings and emotions. Take some 'me-time' for yourself, it can be taking a holiday from work or just going for a walk by yourself. 'Me-time' gives a person an opportunity to reflect, learn and evolve. It plays a very important role in our happiness; it allows us to get back to our daily routine with a fresh mind. One needs to understand that taking care of self and our mental health is equally important as our physical health. Once you are feeling better, you can ask your husband to give you some time where you can communicate with him. You can ask him to come out for dinner or lunch with you when you both are alone. Whenever he is free, you can speak about taking a holiday with your children. I comprehend that when you speak to him about your situation, it turns into an ugly fight. Therefore, remind him how happy and nice you feel when you spend time with him.
Communication with your mother-in-law about your feelings is also important. Create some boundaries by discussing the situation and laying some ground rules. You can consider family therapy or couple counselling also. You can suggest your in-laws to get busy with things like senior citizen clubs, laughter/yoga club etc. They might also be feeling lonely and coping with their old-age.

Charles de Žerotín l'Ancien (en tchèque Karel starší ze Žerotína ou en orthographe plus ancienne ze Zierotina) est un noble de Bohême-Moravie de la famille Zierotin/ Žerotín (Žerotínové, ancienne orthographe Zierotinové), gouverneur de la Moravie de 1608 à 1615, né le 15 septembre 1564 à Brandýs nad Orlicí (en allemand, Brandeis), dans l'ancien kraj de Chrudim, aujourd'hui dans le district d'Ústí nad Orlicí, et mort le  à Přerov, dans le margraviat de Moravie.

Biographie
Charles de Žerotín était le fils du juge de la Haute Cour de Moravie, Jean de Žerotín l'Ancien († 1583). Il a d'abord fréquenté l'école des Frères tchèques à Ivančice (all: Eibenschütz), puis a poursuivi ses études à l'Académie de Strasbourg et à l'Université de Bâle. Là et lors de divers voyages éducatifs dans les pays d'Europe occidentale et en Italie de 1578 à 1587, il acquiert une large connaissance du droit, de la théologie et de plusieurs langues étrangères. Il est reçu et logé à Genève par Théodore de Bèze et suivi ses cours ainsi que ceux de Johann Jakob Grynaeus et d'Amandus Polanus. Il a également noué de nombreuses relations politiques à cette époque.

Après la mort de son père en 1583, il hérite de Náměšť nad Oslavou, où il lance l'extension de la bibliothèque du château de Náměšť nad Oslavou, et de Rosice (all: Rossitz), qui devient un centre important des Frères tchèques pendant son gouvernement. Au château de Rosice, qu'il choisit comme résidence, il installe une vaste bibliothèque. En 1588, il acquit la ville de Holešov (all: Holleschau) près de Kroměříž (all: Kremsier), qui était devenue une base pour les Frères tchèques au fil des décennies.

Charles de Žerotín a prêté  à Henri III de Navarre pour défendre la cause des protestants français. En 1591, il combat en France aux côtés des huguenots commandés par Henri III de Navarre au siège de Rouen. À son retour en Moravie, il doit se défendre devant un tribunal de crime de haute trahison pour avoir prêté de l'argent au roi de Navarre. Cette accusation a été retirée en 1593 quand il décide de prendre part à la lutte contre les Turcs. En 1594, il devient membre du Landrecht morave, la cour suprême du margraviat de Moravie. Il se rend également en Hongrie avec les troupes moraves pendant la Longue Guerre turque (1593-1606). À cette époque, Žerotín est devenu le chef de l'opposition des États à l'empereur Rodolphe II en Moravie. En 1599, il fut poursuivi par le trésorier morave Siegmund von Dietrichstein pour avoir détourné des biens impériaux et entretenu des contacts de trahison avec la France et l'électeur palatin. Bien qu'il ait été acquitté, il a été démis de ses fonctions. Les années suivantes, il vécut reclus dans ses terres.

En 1607, dans le conflit entre les deux frères de la famille de Habsbourg, l'empereur du Saint-Empire romain germanique Rodolphe II et son frère l'archiduc Matthias, Charles de Žerotín prend le parti de l'archiduc Matthias qui veut priver son frère Rodolphe II des couronnes de Bohême et de Hongrie, ainsi que du Saint-Empire romain germanique. Sous la direction de Žerotín, les domaines moraves ont formé une confédération avec la Hongrie et les terres autrichiennes, qui étaient également opposées à l'empereur Rodolphe II. Ensemble, ces pays ont mené une action militaire contre le chef de l'empire avec Matthias. Il a également tenté en vain de mettre la Bohême du côté de Matthias. Par le traité de paix signé le  à Libeň (all: Lieben) entre Rodolphe II et son frère Mattias, Rodolphe II a dû finalement céder à son frère le contrôle royaume de Hongrie, de l' archiduché d'Autriche et du margraviat de Moravie. Seuls le royaume de Bohême, le margraviat de Lusace et le duché de Silésie restaient à Rodolphe II, mais il n'a pu conserver le royaume de Bohême jusqu'en 1611 et le titre d'empereur du Saint-Empire romain germanique jusqu'à sa mort.

En tant que gouverneur de Moravie, Charles de Žerotín avait atteint le sommet de sa carrière en 1608. À ce titre, il réussit à garantir la liberté religieuse des protestants moraves pendant encore quelques années. Cependant, il fut de plus en plus mis sous pression par des catholiques influents à la cour de l'empereur et perdit en même temps le soutien de la communauté foncière morave, raison pour laquelle il démissionna de ses fonctions en 1615. Il a été le protecteur de Jan Amos Comenius. En 1613, il lui a fourni les fonds pour aller continuer ses études à Herborn et à la faculté de théologie de l'Université de Heidelberg, avant de revenir en Moravie, en 1614, pour enseigner à l'école latine de Přerov.

Après la deuxième défenestration de Prague, en 1618, Charles de Žerotín revient à la politique active. Il milite pour une solution pacifique au conflit entre les États de Bohême et les Habsbourg et participe aux négociations à Vienne jusqu'en mars 1619. L'empereur Matthias est mort pendant les négociations. Après que l'opposition protestante radicale eut prévalu en Moravie avec le soutien militaire tchèque, Charles de Žerotín fut assigné à résidence.

Après l'élection de Frédéric V du Palatinat, surnommé le « le roi d'un hiver », en 1619 en tant que nouveau roi de Bohême, les domaines moraves ont rendu hommage au roi nouvellement élu le 6 février 1620 dans l'église jésuite de Brno. Puisque Charles de Žerotín se sentit lié par le serment prêté à Ferdinand II, il refusa de lui rendre hommage.

Après la bataille de la Montagne-Blanche, le , l'empereur Ferdinand II a poursuivi une Contre-Réforme rapide, dont le concept est venu du nonce Carlo Carafa et des jésuites. En 1621/22, tous les membres du clergé non catholiques ont dû quitter le pays et, en 1624, la foi catholique est devenue la seule religion reconnue. En conséquence, tous les citoyens non catholiques ont eu le choix de devenir catholiques ou d'émigrer. Charles de Žerotín a été autorisé à conserver ses terres, bien que tous les nobles protestants qui ne se soient pas convertis aient été dépossédés, même s'ils n'étaient pas impliqués dans le soulèvement contre l'empereur. Son beau-frère beaucoup plus jeune Albrecht von Wallenstein, dont la sœur a été brièvement mariée à Charles de Žerotín et qu'il avait soutenu et encouragé dans sa jeunesse, a tenu sa main protectrice sur lui. Durant cette période, il a soutenu financièrement de nombreuses victimes de la re-catholicisation de la Bohême. C'est grâce à lui que l'imprimerie de l'Union des Frères a pû être déplacée de Namiest sur l'Oslawa à Leszno (all: Lissa) en Pologne et leur bibliothèque de Kralice nad Oslavou à Breslau.

En 1629, il vendit ses domaines à Albrecht von Wallenstein et s'exila volontairement dans à Breslau, plus tolérant sur le plan religieux, mais visita plusieurs fois la Bohême et la Moravie. À partir de 1633, il vécut à Přerov (all: Prerau), où il mourut en 1636. Son corps qui se trouvait dans le caveau funéraire familial à Velké Losiny (all: Groß Ullersdorf) a été transféré en 1842 dans la crypte de la famille Žerotín de l'église Saint-Georges de Bludov (all: Blauda).

I love all f your workouts! They are by far the hardest and most effective I have seen on YouTube! Thank u!
I've been doing your workouts consistently for almost two years now, and I look at your blog every day. Thank you for bringing inspiration and positivity to my daily exercise! This was one of your best yet!
Fun. Pouring sweat. I love your workouts. They have made me so strong and versatile. These are my go to workouts 90% of the year.
I did 2 rounds and am so tired and sweaty they are super hard…. but I love them … PUSHING ME !!!!
Thank you Melissa, you are an inspiration!


Hey hey! Happy Wednesday! I am so excited tomorrow is Thanksgiving! Are you?
My Thanksgiving always involves going to my parents' house for Thanksgiving dinner, which is really lunch. Unfortunately, like most years, Michael is working but he does get out around 3 so I am hopeful we will get to spend the evening together and maybe go see a movie together. I don't know why, but the thought of going to the movie theater on a holiday sounds so fun to me, especially since there is nothing else to do. As I mentioned yesterday, I am off work tomorrow and Friday. And once I get out of work today, I am going to start baking all the things for tomorrow!
This morning started with a killer workout that left me sweating my butttttt off. I did a 20 minute full body circuit, followed by 30 minutes of intervals on the treadmill (5 minutes running, 5 minutes walking, repeated 3 times), and finished with 10 minutes of abs. My full body circuit ooked like this: 30 squat hold cross overs, 30 jumping jacks, 15 side step squats, 15 burpees, 15 side crunches, 15 crunches, 15 commandos, and 30 a second plank. I actually saw this workout (but added more to it) on Instagram as I was scrolling through yesterday, so I thought it would be fun to try it out this morning. I repeated the circuit 3 times through before getting on the treadmill for those intervals, and ending my workout with an ab circuit that consisted of lots of planks, crunches, mountain climbers, and Russian twists.
I wanted to pop in today and share some sales that are going on that I am absolutely loving and trying hard resisting buying ALL the things for myself! Note: Some of these sales don't start until Black Friday, but I wanted to share them before so you all are ready for them!
Express: 50% off EVERYTHING + free shipping on all orders right now! I actually placed an order on there last week (like over 9 days ago) and apparently my order got lost in transit since it had no updates, so I had to call customer service. I was told I would be getting another package shipped out and delivered to me TODAY, but I am still waiting on that tracking number so I'm pretty bummed with them right now. I guess I won't be able to wear one of those sweaters that I bought for tomorrow. Boo. But honestly, that has never happened before in my years and years of buying from Express, so I will probably buy a few more things during this sale. Especially THIS sweatshirt. Ya'll know I LOVE this sweatshirt since I have it in black and camo, so when I saw it came in a light camo color I jumped with excitement and instantly knew I needed to have it.
Amazon: Shop Black Friday deals here.
Lulus: 20-90% off everything! I'm so excited about this one! Ya'll know I love Lulus so so much!!
Adidas: Shop the Black Friday sale at Adidas from now until the 27th!
Ebay: Shop Black Friday deals here.
Kate Spade: Shop the Kate Spade Surprise Sale now!
…okay, so obviously that is just a list of SOME of the awesome sales that are going on this week! What sales are you going to shop? Are you going to shop for yourself or for others to check things off your Christmas gift list?! I always try to shop for others, but then end up getting myself a bunch of things. Do you have that same problem? I can't be alone in this! Haha!
Previous Post Thoughts on a Tuesday!
Hope you had a blessed Thanksgiving! Did you get in any Black Friday shopping this morning? I am thinking about going out to see if I can grab any deals this afternoon. I didn't feel like going out this morning. lol!
What was on the menu for YOU this Thanksgiving? I love when you recap your eats at Disney … so I don't see why Turkey Day would be any different! 😉 Also, do you guys celebrate with both your family and Michael's family??

The actress and activist's five-episode series will kick off with a two-hour documentary later this month.
Few artists and activists have been has outspoken in the aftermath of the Harvey Weinstein scandal and the rise of the #MeToo movement than Rose McGowan, who has remained vocal and vigilant in the past few months in stunning ways. Next up for McGowan is a two-pronged attack by way of very personal creation: both her upcoming autobiography "BRAVE" and her E! docuseries "Citizen Rose" are due for release later this month.
The new series was announced just last week, and it's already spawned an insightful and intriguing new teaser trailer that promises an inside look at McGowan's past and the future she's fighting so hard for.
Check out the first trailer for "Citizen Rose" below.
The five-episode series will kick off with a two-hour documentary special, set to air on Tuesday, January 30 at 8pm ET/PT, followed by four additional episodes that will air in Spring 2018.
