Jorg Ancrath Isn't Another Problematic Fave
Disclaimer: I do not own the books in their original language (English). I did my best to try to find the actual quotes, but it is entirely possible that some weird sounding/paraphrasing 'quotes' of the books find their way in here. This is merely myself, a non-native speaker, trying to retranslate a book in it's original form… I am sorry for the bastardization of Mark Lawrence style and for the inconvenience.
The Broken Empire trilogy is a series of fantasy novels written by Mark Lawrence between 2011 and 2013. It follows the adventure of Jorg Ancrath, prince of Ancrath, whose mother and little brother had been assassinated in front of him when he was 9. It details his resulting quest for Revenge™ while becoming Emperor. Said like that, it seems like your generic fantasy story: quickly read, quickly forgotten. The typical one-night stand of books.
Well, that couldn't be more wrong. The Broken Empire trilogy is a wild ride grounded in solid and interesting world-building, and an unforgettable protagonist: Jorg Ancrath. And here I am, your humble servant, killing 2 birds with one stone by introducing you to a good read and rambling about my fave.
In the mean time, here is the proof of how well I learned to manage my money this past few years.
Mark Lawrence Knows How to Write Good Fantasy
One of the great things about the Broken Empire trilogy, despite what looks like a fairly common plot, is that it is a good work of fantasy written by someone who obviously loves the genre. There are epic battles, quests, monsters, wizards, and necromancers. But there is also mystery, things that go beyond appearances, moral dilemmas, and a lot of learning to grow up. In short, there is something for everyone. Except maybe for the people allergic to violence, because Mark Lawrence's world is violent and merciless. Even if the story ultimately wants and manages not to be nihilistic.
Speaking of, let's have a look at the world building.
What if we weren't in an England-inspired world?
I'll just spit it out right now: The Broken Empire trilogy takes place in Europe. I am not going to explain you why; I will let you discover that for yourself. Simply put, when you discover the world of the Broken Empire trilogy you will be both more and less knowledgeable about it than the characters living in it are. And it's kinda fun.
One nice map! One!
It seems that the European continent and Northern Africa used to be part of an Empire, which exploded something like two or three centuries before the story. Now what remains is divided between different kingdoms (or duchies or whatever goes with the title the local lord has), who are constantly competing and attacking each other in order to gain legitimacy. Legitimacy for what you might ask? Well to become the next emperor, of course. This nice political climate is called the "One Hundreds' War" and in terms of stability, we are close to "Western Europe just after the fall of the Roman Empire of Occident".
This explains the overly-violent ambiance of the trilogy. However, the fact that we see that the common people are among the ones suffering the most from it prevents the books from becoming a gore fest.
The fact is, as it is, Mark Lawrence's world is incredibly diverse (and not in the "but I got 40 non-human species!" way). Jorg, who is our primary point of view character, travels from Northern Europe to Northern Africa while passing through what we could call Spain, France, and Austria. And every of one of those locations is treated with respect. Of course there are some cliches, the Northerners having some kind of Viking culture for example. But it is a little cliche, not a cask with horns cliche.
It is particularly striking with Jorg's Northern African adventure. Rather than having the usual exotic, sexual, and morally-backward orient, Jorg discovers a kingdom where knowledge and scholars are respected, and where the power structures are much more interested in protecting their people than in being the Dangerous-Mysterious-Sexy-Stranger™. The trilogy also recognizes that cultures mixed with each other. What a nice world to navigate as a reader!
What if Mark Lawrence acknowledged that not only dudebros read fantasy?
When the author seems to think that only hyper-masculine dudes are reading fantasy and obviously writes for them and only for them will hands down make me stop reading a fantasy novel. In books like these, the protagonists are violent and physically strong men. Women exist merely as prizes. Niceness is frowned upon and considered a weakness. Basically, such authors agree completely with the typical mindset of the One Hundred Years War's knight.
Honestly, reading the synopsis and meeting Jorg, I believed I was about to read that kind of fantasy book. And before I go on, I have to say, you are more than welcome to like that kind of fantasy book. I'm not here to judge, it just isn't my cup of tea. So when I picked up the Broken Empire trilogy I fully expected to put it back down again. But, there is a reason I am talking about this trilogy today. Yes, the Broken Empire's world is violent, and yes, it is misogynistic. However, Mark Lawrence is not misogynistic, and I don't think he likes violence.
As I said, Jorg is our main point of view. However, the series has two other perspective characters (technically three but since the last one only appears in the prologue of the last tome I decided not to take it into account), and both are women. They're very different women actually. One of them is undoubtedly one of the good guys (Katherine); the other one is a necromancer working for the bad guy, who tries to kill our hero on day 1 (Chella).
These women face the misogyny of their society. They're not able to hold a title, have to get married to whomever their father sees fit, are basically prevented from holding any form of power despite suffering the consequences of the war as much as men do, etc. They actually express discomfort with it, and aren't blamed for their position by the author, the narrative, or even by the 'good' intelligent characters. Here's what Katherine has to say about her life.
Katherine: "My life wasn't supposed to turn out that way. (…) I wasn't supposed to become the stakes of the rivalry between princes, a baby maker. For Gods Sakes. Would you like to be a trophy? To have your sole purpose be to make children and raise them?(…) Do I have to be a monster? Do I have to become a new Queen of Hearts…?"
Speaking of Queen of Hearts, this is actually interesting. The Queen of Hearts is one of the official participants of the One Hundreds' War, and the only woman. It is explained that she had done monstrous things to manage to hold the title in her name. However, even if she is not liked and has a disastrous reputation, she is now considered as seriously as any other participant. The fact that she is mentioned at all when she has little to zero impact on the actual story and only appears at the end of the third volume is not only interesting in terms of world building, it is also interesting on what it says about Mark Lawrence.
In the trilogy, the kings and lords who have no impact on the story are rarely mentioned—there are, after all, one hundred of them. However the mention of the Queen of Hearts actually teaches us that women holding the same amount of power as men is a possibility in this world. They just have to be as bad (or as good…it varies with the point of view) as their male counterparts. Good job, Mark Lawrence.
Kindness and goodness are also not frowned upon. Even if it is a quality that our hero is somehow lacking, other characters display it and are not punished for doing so. Katherine, Coddin, Orrin, Jorg's grandfather, Maladon…all of them display kindness at a moment in the story and are regarded both by the story and by Jorg himself as good people. Hell, the narrative even rewards them for their kindness. If he had not be a good lord and generous man, Jorg's grandfather would have been poisoned. Once again, good job, Mark Lawrence.
But now it's time to speak about the most interesting and most conflicting part of the Broken Empire trilogy: it's protagonist, Jorg Ancrath.
Jorg Ancrath Flirts with the Concept of an Overly Problematic Fave
Let's be perfectly clear. As a character, I love Jorg Ancrath. As a person, I would probably try to punch him and get badly hurt for my efforts. However, I am forced to recognize that with his lack of morality, his dark sense of humor, his propensity to violence, his apparent disregard for the consequences of his actions, and the fact that we are supposed to root for him even after he has done terrible things, Jorg Ancrath is dangerously close to being a typical problematic fave, endorsed by the narrative. But, as you might have seen coming from miles away, after careful reflection about him, I have to preserve his honor. Jorg Ancrath is actually a morally dark grey character done right.
Who is Jorg Ancrath?
Jorg Ancrath is the first prince of the Ancrath Kingdom (Northern France) and the first son of the current King Olidan Ancrath and his first wife Rowen, from the Horse's Coast. Jorg uses to have a little brother, William. Unfortunately, when Jorg was 9 he, his mother, and his brother fell into an ambush set by his uncle. He was saved by being thrown into a patch of thorns, which kept him hidden from the assailants and prevented him from trying to save his mother and brother. He saw them both die, and got a huge infection from the wounds the thorns gave him (wounds that leave him with scars on his entire body).
When he finally woke up from his fever, he discovered that his father had decided not attack his own brother in retribution. It will be of no interest to him, so he only asked for tactical lands as a punishment. Of course little Jorg didn't take that well and ran away from the castle. He entered a band of thieves. There he learned to do terrible things and to manipulate people. This where we join him 4 years later, plundering a village when he is 13.
Jorg Ancrath by Kim Kincaid
Jorg's goal is to avenge his mother and brother. To do so he wants to kill his uncle and get revenge from his father for his inaction. In the mean time, he gets it into his head to take his revenge on the world by becoming the next emperor.
He is deeply intelligent. While he starts the story as kind of a pretty boy, it does not remain the case; the left-side of his face becomes badly burned later. He is also physically competent and funny (for the reader), but he has the worst moral compass I have ever seen, as he is prone to anger and violent. Long story short, Jorg is more than ready to leave a trail of bodies behind him to achieve his goal. Even people he calls his brother. And he hates being treated as unimportant. Also, he brings misery to people who follow him. Sure, Jorg is a problematic fave. However there is more to him than just that.
Jorg is a better person than he appears
Let's just begin by saying that right now Jorg looks like a better antagonist than protagonist, but trust me. Jorg is self-aware of his faults and by god it's refreshing.
I can well imagine him saying, "The Prince of Arrows would be a better emperor than me? Yeah of course, but I want to be emperor. People don't like me? Well I am not very likable in universe so… Am I too hot-headed and put people in danger with my behavior? Well,"
"Those people waited until I saved them. They thought that I could keep the Haunt with my handful of soldiers and be victorious. I was almost tempted to tell them the truth, to tell them what the ones who know me know. There's something brittle in me that will break before it bends. If the Prince of Arrows had brought a smaller army I would probably have had the common sense to run away. But he had overdone it."
Isn't he absolutely charming? Knowingly jeopardizing the life of his unsuspecting subjects because of his shitty temperament?
There is also the fact that sometimes Jorg is ashamed of himself. And for us to be fully aware of it, the first person narration helps.
"(Her eyes) weren't black. They had a spark of green, a leafgreen in the moonlight. I had never noticed before. It's amazing, those ideas that you have sometimes. (…) If she said nothing, a quiver at the corner of her mouth showed me her disappointment. I left feeling less than royal."
Let's also add that Jorg ages well. Having a 13 years-old protagonist could create doubt about the series. Is it some kind of gory young adult book? No it's not, but the story follows Jorg growing up. The 20 year-old that we leave at the end of the story is not the same person we met at 13. For one, he is less angry. He understands that other people have hopes and dreams and realizes what he represents for them. He cares about the people he loves and has some compassion for others. Actually, he even defeats someone angrier than him by comforting him.
Let's also have a look at his backstory. I know it's the principle of most problematic faves to have a tragic backstory, but Jorg brings that to a whole new level. His tragic backstory has multiple tragic backstories. Jorg has been repeatedly abused by strangers, but especially by his father. Olidan Ancrath is the worst father I have ever seen in fiction. If Tywin Lannister knew about him he would be like,
Olidan is the worst father of every year.
However Jorg doesn't use his backstory as an excuse; it is merely an explanation. An overly problematic fave would say, "I was badly abused so I am not terrible". Jorg Ancrath says, "I was badly abused so I am terrible." Honesty. Again, this is valuable.
Last but not least, Jorg, despite all his bravado, doesn't love himself. This is made crystal clear by the scene where he ends up killing a child. Jorg loves children; if he ends up killing or harming one, it is never entirely voluntarily, expect in this case. He is entirely proactive about it. And this is what he says to the girl while stabbing her.
"You and I, we look a lot like each other. (…) If someone had done that for me when I was a child it would have spared a lot of trouble to a lot of people."
It's chilling when we consider the situation, but never excused or whitewashed.
The story reminds us that Jorg doesn't have a desirable behaviour
Another thing I appreciate about Jorg is how the story doesn't let him go away with his behavior. The narrative punishes him. Sacrifices a child? Gets a really bad burn on his face.
Other characters hold him accountable for the corpses he leaves behind, too. Gorgoth withdraws from his friendship after what happen with Gog. Even the bad guys remind him that he can be a really terrible person. In the first volume, he ends up destroying a fortress and the region around to take it.
This is Jorg's kind of creative problem solving.
By doing so he causes the death of hundreds, even thousands, of people, a fact that he sort of refuses to acknowledge. In the second volume, Chella confronts him about his actions.
Chella: "You are upset because I have shown you your ghosts? I am not the one who birthed them, Jorg. (…)"
Jorg: "I didn't know…"
Chella: "You didn't know a sun would burn them. You thought a poisonous cloud would devastate the earth, didn't you? So if Ruth, her mother, and son, had choked with their own guts, bleeding from their eyes and from their anuses while screaming, it wouldn't have bothered you?"
The story also shows us that Jorg would have been way more happy living another life. On several occasions, Jorg is shown as book-smart and actually enjoying reading. When in Northern Africa, he stays there several months after his 'quest' to study math with other scholars. This leads him to be more at peace with himself than he has ever been in the entire story.
So yes, there is little doubt that Jorg would be more happy if he hadn't become the violent young man he is. If he had been a scholar with a family, Jorg would have been content and at peace. In the end, his abuse and tragic backstory didn't make him badass, it made him miserable and robbed him of his happy ending.
So yes, Jorg is not a good person. But he is goddamn good character written by an author who knows how not to glorify terrible behavior.
I can only advise you to read the Broken Empire trilogy. It features one of my favorite protagonistss in a long time and it is well-written and catching. It also features some memorable secondary characters (I can't believe I didn't talk about Miana she is my daughter) and a fascinating world. If you read it, chances are you will be positively surprised.

Reverb Katta's first poetry series is titled as 'Antarnad – The Voice Within' where poetess Shilpa Godbole has expressed her thoughts about womanhood. Being a poet and presenting your talent was never so easy but now with Reverb Katta's 'Kavita' platform you can easily publish and present your poetries in audio visual format. Less money and more popularity, well it's sure worth a shot. So without any further ado let's see what we have here in Antarnad.
'Antarnad – The Voice Within' is a compilation of poetess Shilpa Godbole's sixteen poetries. As I said above it's about celebrating womanhood. Her poetry 'Kadhitari Vatata Na' speaks about those feelings of love, loneliness and expectations when you need someone to hold you in your need. It's a loving urge to that loved one to be together, to cherish, to understand. Her next poetry is 'Aapan Saglya Ashach Asto'. Here she speaks about the common factors of women which are actually their strength. A woman is loving by nature, she is sacrificing by nature and many qualities are equal in almost all women but with few differences. In her next poetry 'Najret Jadu' she tells about the mesmerizing magic a girl sees when she looks into her love's eyes. The concept is by Shilpa Godbole. Direction is done by Abhijit Kolhatkar and direction of photography is done by Abhijeet Nag.

I used creamy horseradish instead of fresh in a beet salad recipe and the horseradish tastes too strong. Any suggestions for tempering the taste?
The recipe also calls for lemon juice and mustard.
If it's a creamy dressing, I might add a bit more sour cream or yogurt.

Domestic Water Booster System Replacement
Posted on Monday March 22, 2021
The domestic water booster system was original to the late 1990s redevelopment, age related failures were becoming increasingly more common and the hydro-pneumatic tank had failed. Additionally, the original system was a duplex design; therefore a single pump failure would result in no redundancy until the failed pump was repaired/replaced.
Replacement of a domestic water booster system in any fully occupied residential community always presents significant challenges, the most significant being limiting the duration of a complete domestic water system shut down to reduce the impact to the owners.
In the case of Metropolitan Place additional consideration of the following were required:
Provisions to ensure that domestic water remained available for the retail tenants
A means for the replacement pumping system to provide 100% redundancy even if a single pump were to fail.
The duration of the domestic water outage was reduced significantly by setting the new booster pump skid in place, roughing in all piping/electrical and prefabricating all piping necessary for final cut over to the new system prior to shut down. Due to these preliminary measures, once water was shut down; it became a relativity simple matter of connecting the new system to the existing incoming and leaving water lines, terminating the electrical connections, starting up and adjusting.
Advance investigation of the water supply to the retail tenants confirmed that provisions existed that would allow water to continue uninterrupted while the booster system was being replaced.
The selection of a triplex pumping system ensured that the new system would provide redundancy in the event of a single pump failure.
An energy efficient booster pump system using advanced controls and variable frequency drives (VFDs) now provides reliable domestic water to the owners. The triplex pumping system ensures 100% redundancy in the event of a single pump failure. A new hydro-pneumatic tank allows for system pressure to be maintained during low usage without the need for a pump to operate.
The Board Testimonials
Kim Pinson, CMCA Property Manager
"The purpose of this email is to highly recommend AMS Mechanical for any significant HVAC or plumbing needs. Several years ago they replaced the MUA units on the roof of Metropolitan Place via helicopter lift and the project went off without a hitch. At the very beginning stages of the pandemic last spring, they also replaced our domestic cold water booster pump. There was a lot of concern on the part of residents not having any water in their units given the newly discovered health crisis. The original estimated time without water was up to 12 hours. Due to careful planning and a lot of advance work on AMS' part, the residents were only without water for approximately 5-6 hours and this project also went smooth as silk. Very knowledgeable staff, responsive and a pleasure to work with."

The following is a post from Erika, one of our Fairy Godmother Program Coordinators. Erika and Olivia organize monthly activities for our Fairy Godmother Program participants to take part in as a large group. Fairy Godmothers and Princess Graduates also meet on their own time during the month, one on one, to develop their relationships as matches.
On December 3rd, participants of the Fairy Godmother Program gathered at the Ramada Hotel to indulge in an evening of appetizers, socializing and ginger bread house building. The majority of our program participants were able to attend and some were even able to bring their sons and daughters along for the evening. The Ramada was beautifully decorated to reflect a winter wonderland while music played softly in the background. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Appetizers and punch were shared as the group discussed plans for the holidays.
Each match made a ginger bread house together to take home and share with their families. The group was creative, to say the least! Lots of laughs were shared at the final outcomes of the ginger bread houses. The Christmas party served as an excellent event for the matches to connect before the chaos of the holidays and final exams take over. The program has been rewarding thus far for all parties involved, and we cannot wait to continue into the new year!

Can You Name This Film
Not a Virginia Madsen film?
Thread: Not a Virginia Madsen film?
DUKE046
Junior Member Country:
In around 1990/1991 I got a film out on video in which an actress similar in looks to Virginia Madsen played a character who has an affair with a cop investigating a case involving her. She may have actually been a ghost. It was quite steamy in places, quite similar in feel to Body Of Evidence. I don't think it was Virginia Madsen but does anybody remember the name of the film?
I think it's this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gotham_(film)
Yes that's it! Also known as The Dead Can't Lie.
The film has never been released on dvd in Great Britain. You can only buy it on VHS on Amazon.co.uk for nearly a tenner. Does anyone have a link to view the film in full online please?
BristolUK
It's on amazon US as a DVD

Police Arrest Student For Studying Too Much At School
A British school called the police to remove a student who is so obsessed with studying and refused to leave the library.
The 18-year-old student Jamie Gagliardi was expelled from Ifield Community College in southern England, after refusing to leave the library.
The school accused Gagliardi, who is expected to be a student of being "obsessed" with learning after school and said they called police because the student was causing a "nuisance."
Gagliardi, who was forced to call his mother to pick him up, said, "I have been punished for wanting to do well. I am a hardworking and a dedicated student, and this could have such an impact on my future."
The student went to the library despite being banned from the premises for the day as punishment for disrupting the school principal during a meeting to request special meetings.
Marilyn Evans, director of school administration, said: "He became loud and angry that he could not study after school."
Gagliardi is described as the "best student", who wants to do well on tests, but had been "causing a nuisance and a disturbance on the property." The school authorities added that "He is obsessed with making the revision after school."
A police spokesman confirmed that officers were called to the school to remove a "disruptive" student who refused to leave the premises, but said Gagliardi will not face charges.

N27.2 Billion Police Pension Thief Freed on N750,000 Fine
An Abuja court on Monday 28th January 2013, handed a two year jail term with an option of N750,000 fine to one of six federal officials tried for stealing N27.2 billion of police pension fund.
John Yusuf, a former assistant director in the Federal Civil Service, was tried on a 20-count charge alongside Atiku Abubakar Kigo (Permanent Secretary), Ahmed Inuwa Wada (Director), Veronica Onyegbula (Cashier) and Sani Habila Zira (ICT Officer). He pleaded guilty to fraudulently converting N2 billion of police pension funds to private use and was handed down only a two-year jail sentence. The trial continues for the other accused persons.
Punch reports that each of the three offences attracts a two-year jail term which run cuncurrently. However, he would not be serving his jail time as Judge Abubakar Talba of the Federal Capital Territory High Court offered him an option of a fine of N250,000 for each of the three counts, amounting to N750,000. He would also forfeit 32 houses in the FCT and Gombe as well as N325m which the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission said were proceeds from the crime.

Federal Government Suspends Importation of Private Jets
The Ministry of Aviation has announced a suspension of the importation of private jets into the country pending the renewal of the policy on private jets. This suspension affects private airplanes, helicopters and other lighter aircraft.
The suspension would continue until the formulation of a new policy on importation of private jets and helicopters.
The Special Assistant (Media) to the Minister of Aviation, Joe Obi, who confirmed the development told Punch that the suspension did not affect the importation of commercial and passenger jets being used by domestic airlines.
"The domestic airlines are free to bring in their normal passenger planes. But the suspension only affects private jets. The government is trying to work on a new policy for the private jet. You will agree with me that the current policy on private jets is old, and there is a need to renew it. Pending that renewal, all applications for importation for now will have to hold on."
When asked if there was a time frame for the lifting of the suspension, Obi said,
"There is no definite time for now. It depends on when the new policy is completed. Government is working on the policy. When it is completed, every body will be informed."

Same-Sex Marriage is Evil- Pastor Adeboye
"Same-sex marriage is an anathema to the will of God for human beings to be fruitful, replenish and multiply on earth. Anything contrary to that is evil.
"How can a man who marries a fellow man produce a child and how can a woman who marries a fellow woman produce a child?
"If this evil is allowed to stay, there will not be newborns again in the world. As the older generation dies, will there be a new generations to succeed it? Even plants and animals have new generations to succeed them."
House of Reps Move to Ban Sale of Energy Drinks in Nigeria
Energy drinks have often been described as drinks that have potentially dangerous health consequences, the dangers lying in the high levels of caffeine contained in them.
For this and other reasons, the House of Representatives on Tuesday moved to ban the importation and sale of caffeinated drinks, popularly known as 'energy drinks', in the country.
Following a motion sponsored by a member, Yacoob Bush-Alebiosu, the house directed its Joint Committee on Health/Commerce to investigate the importation and distribution of the drinks.
According to Punch, Bush-Alebiosu listed Germany, Norway, France and Denmark among some of the countries that had banned the sale of the drinks in their jurisdiction "as a result of health risks caused by the consumption of energy drinks, including reported cases of deaths."
He said that research conducted by the Cardiovascular Research Centre at the Royal Adeliade Hospital and Adeliade University in Southern Australia reveals a link between students consuming a particular brand of energy drink and the unstable state of their hearts.
Folorunsho Alakija Displaced As Richest Black Woman By Isabel Santos
Earlier this morning, Forbes gathered a recent report on a woman (Isabel dos Santos) who is now believed to be the richest black woman in the world, displacing the Nigerian business mogul, Folorunsho Alakija that got the position few months ago from Oprah Winfrey.
Over the past few years Isabel dos Santos, the oldest daughter of Angolan President Jose Eduardo Dos Santos, has been buying more shares of publicly traded companies in Portugal, including shares in a bank and a cable TV company. Those stakes, combined with assets Isabel dos Santos owns in at least one bank in Angola, have pushed her net worth over the $1 billion mark, according to research by FORBES, making the 40-year-old Africa's first woman billionaire.

Sennen Cove boasts one of the loveliest stretches of sand in Cornwall, Whitesands Beach, and still retains much of the atmosphere of an old fishing village. It is a popular spot with surfers and hosts the local surfing club. The Old Success Inn is a 17th century building with views across the bay. The cove was once frequented by many mermaids, in addition to the Sennen Whooper. Perhaps these mermaids were really dolphins, which can still be seen frolicking in the water close to the coast. A nearby rock is known as the Irish Lady and is the memorial to the sole survivor of a long ago wreck. Unfortunately she fell into the sea before she could be rescued, but her ghost can sometimes be seen still clinging to the rock.
There is still a lifeboat station at Sennen and close by there are lobster pots testifying to the continuation of the local fishing industry. The Round House and Capstan gallery is a 19th century building with a converted net loft and can be found just beyond the lifeboat station. Sennen Cove is very close to Land's End and is well placed for walks along the coastal path. There are numerous ancient sites in the area in addition to relics from the once thriving tin mining industry.
To the east, at the top of the Penberth Valley, lies Penrose, once the seat of the family of that name. In the 17th century a recently widowed smuggler, Ralph Penrose, took his young motherless son with him to see, leaving his brother to manage his estate. There was a storm and his ship was wrecked just off the coast. His brother, John, watched the ship go down without trying to help. When the young boy managed to struggle to shore, he was murdered by his uncle's men. Ralph's cousin, William, survived the wreck but lost his memory until he returned to Penrose by chance. There he discovered the grave of his cousin's young son and traced the murderer, who confessed and hanged himself. Unfortunately, William was unable to remain at Penrose because it was infested with ghosts.
Between Sennen and Land's End lies the lonely farmhouse of Brea. This was built on land originally held by Count Robert of Mortain and farmed by his tenant Erchenbald at the time of the Domesday Book. The farm was small but had its own chapel, which survived until the 18th century. Facing the farm is the hill Chapel Carn Brea on which a fire is lit by the druids on Midsummer's Eve. On this summit are the remains of a Neolithic chamber tumulus. The latter monument was previously concealed beneath another chapel dedicated to St Michael.

The Emergency
Extinction Rebellion, known in Finland as Elokapina, is an international movement which uses non-violent civil disobedience in order to halt the progression of the sixth mass extinction and to minimize the risk of social collapse caused by the climate and environmental crisis.
Extinction Rebellion was founded in the UK in October 2018. In Finland, Elokapina began organizing in November 2018. Since the end of 2018, there have been worldwide rebellion weeks and local activities where thousands of rebels have used non-violent civil disobedience, art, and community building to counter the toxic system.This system has brought us into this crisis, where the planet's ecosystem is beginning to collapse, and the risk of ever-worsening destruction is increasing moment by moment. At the core of our action is a community and a regenerative culture that enables us to create new ways to live and prosper and to truly see the world around us. As the values of the old world collapse, it is important to create a new and better life that takes into account the well-being of humans, animals, and the ecosystem as a whole.
In just over a year, Elokapina has grown from a group of about twenty enthusiastic rebels into a national movement in eight cities, with hundreds of rebels all over Finland. Our aim is to create a mass movement that can disrupt business as usual so the climate and environmental crisis can't be missed by anyone. If necessary, we violate some laws to avoid worst-case scenarios. We are not blaming individual citizens, but a harmful system that we are trying to change. We do not want to harm our fellow citizens, but to draw attention to the climate and environmental crisis so often that inactivity is no longer an option.

Founded in 1996 by an informal group of young artists, Alkatraz Gallery has become one of the best 'alternative' galleries in Ljublajna. The building, which is in Metelkova (part of Ljubljana's Hipster scene), used to be the Yugoslavian army's barracks. During Ljubljana's housing shortage, Metelkova became a refuge for artists to live and work on their art. This same essence extends to today, with Alkatraz Gallery showcasing many different artists who often have something radical to say.
Open 11:00 - 15:00, 16:00 - 20:00, Fri 15:00 - 23:00. Closed Sat, Sun.

Q: How to quickly sort dict() with a huge number of keys? TLE always happen in SBANK SPOJ using python. In order to solve it, i have to sort dict(), though dict() has huge number of KEYS(maximum--100000). Use sorted() function in my code takes no effect. Is there any fast solution? Thanks for your help.
My code below:
for j in range(n): # n is the number of keys
        account = sys.stdin.readline().rstrip()
        dic.setdefault(account, 0)
        dic[account] += 1
sorted(dic) # **this sort take a lot of time**

EDIT1:According to Justin Peel's tips, i update my code below, but return still TLE. How can i do?
import sys
import psyco # import psyco module to speed up
psyco.full()
nCase = int(sys.stdin.readline().split()[0])
for i in range(nCase):
    n = int(sys.stdin.readline().split()[0])
    dic = dict()
    lst = list()
    for j in range(n):
        account = sys.stdin.readline().rstrip()
        dic.setdefault(account, 0)
        dic[account] += 1
    sys.stdin.readline()
    lst = dic.keys() # store keys in list
    lst.sort()
    for account in lst:
        sys.stdout.write('%s %s\n' % (account, dic[account]))

A: dicts are not sorted, which is how they are able to provide O(1) insert and get access. (Internally, they are implemented as hash tables, I believe, though I'm not sure this is required by the Python spec).
If you want to iterate the keys of a dict in sorted order, you can use:
for key in sorted(the_dict.iterkeys()):
    value = the_dict[key]
    # do something

But, as you note, sorting 100,000 elements may take some time.
As an alternative, you can write (or find on the internet) sorted dict implementations that keep an ordered list of keys along with the dictionary, and support fast lookup by key, and iteration in order without having to sort all at once. Of course, to support sorted order, the keys will need to be sorted at insertion time, so inserts will not be O(1).
Edit: Per dsolimano's comment, if you are using Python 2.7 or Python 3.x, there is a built-in OrderedDict class that orders iteration in insertion order. This keeps insertion fast, but may not do what you need (depending on the order of items you want).

A: I was able to solve this problem. Here are some tips:

*

*Use Python 2.5. It is much faster than Python 3.2 which is the other option available on SPOJ with Python. Only one person has been able to get a fast enough solution using Python 3.2

*Just use a basic dict for counting. You can get by with the defaultdict from the collections module too, but the basic dict was faster for me.

*Sort only the keys of the dict, not the key-item pairs. Forming the key-item pairs takes far too long. Also, use keys = mydict.keys(); keys.sort() because it is the fastest way to go about it.

*Use psyco (pretty much always with SPOJ problems in Python)

*Learn the fastest ways to do input and output in Python. Hint: it isn't iterating over every line of input for example.

*Try submitting after you've added each part (getting input, counting, doing output) to see where you are with time. This is a very valuable thing to do on SPOJ. The SPOJ computer running your code is quite likely much slower than your current computer and it can be hard to determine based on your own computer's running time of the code if it will be fast enough for SPOJ.

A: Since Python 3.1 is available, collections.Counter is good for that purpose:
collections.Counter(map(str.rstrip, sys.stdin)).most_common()
