Even if you have given up on LA, cursed its tackiness, screamed at its traffic, revolted from its inanities, choked on its air and dreamed of exile from its toxicities, you might be seduced on Sunday afternoon, as I was yesterday, by a place hidden away that seems like a small town in the Poconos.
I accompanied a friend on an errand. She manages properties, and was cleaning up after renters at a small house on a street called Lake Shore Avenue.
East of Glendale Blvd, south of the 2, west of Elysian Park, it sits snuggly into a hill that blocks the setting sun. Shady, built with little bungalows, it bisects, at Effie, an institution: Gateways Hospital and Community Mental Health Center.
A mid-century sign sits at the entrance to the facility.
We parked on Effie and looked ahead at a wide dirt path climbing up a steep hill where nets were laid down to trap water and debris that may pour down here fiercely.
My friend went to work on her property, and I climbed up the trail.
Around me were dried, parched grasses, the remnants of homeless blankets and bags of clothes, and, at the top of the hill, a stucco shack of a house, with a pitted asphalt driveway, and a wooden deck. It was guarded by ziggurat cinder block walls and reinforced steel window bars.
The dilapidated home was a find, unusual in its state of disrepair. For we live in a city of brutally competitive property investment, where every top elevation has been captured by someone richer. This mountain hideaway lacked the hidden cameras, the expensive cars, the pool, and the pretense to architecture. An eccentric hermit might inhabit it.
Moby if he had no money might live here.
Its views stretched out to Silverlake, downtown, and tall radio towers across the way. Yet it was an uneasy isolation. It felt dangerous, not reassuring.
Bucolic and rustic in Los Angeles never exists in purity.
Helicopters and sirens in the distance, the threat of fire, the presence of people without homes, the surprise of events that might end our life erupting from the deepest earth, or from a violent intrusion through an open window. These are the sights, sounds and conjurations of the imagination haunting happy moments.
That is how that house and hill felt.
Back down on Lake Shore Avenue I walked past institutional houses, illuminated by industrial floodlights, set along the street, behind gates. Two older men were on the stoop of one place, smoking. They nodded to me and I waved back.
Outside the property of Gateways, dominating the bright part of the hill on Lake Shore Avenue, was a tall, two-toned, red and white brick house looming over a row of old garages. Homely, graceless, squinting in the sun, it refuted the lovely myth that everything historic is charming. The white "sanitary" bricks, glossy and washable, were often used in the 1920s on building facades for bakeries and cleaners.
A small signifier of community well-being, a landscaped traffic circle, ended my walk up Lake Shore.
That idea that a street could come together in a circle, unified by architecture, common purpose, cafes and conversation, there was something of that here, but I saw no other pedestrians. The only movement was daylight in retreat, shadows moving over the street.
After walking around, I came back to my friend's property and went inside. We stacked dishes in the dishwasher, carried out bags of food from the refrigerator, and a basket of dirty towels. She turned on the alarm and locked the door. We got in the car and left to return to the real city beyond.
I don't know about the rest of you readers out there, but I'm beginning to fear the day that Andy stumbles across my aging chicken coup that dates back to earliest Sherman Oaks development. It has seen a plethora of indigenous walnut trees come and go, a horse ranch, markets, a Post Office and an entire block of businesses turn to even more housing development. To say that immigrants have built America would be to mirror the image of present day ownership along my block/my corridor/the entire precinct. Thanks to Tweeters/Facebookers/and the like, this area even has a moniker/a nickname for the residents to hide beneath as they complain about one another and whomever's dogs pee or poop the most on their neighbors' green lawns (remember the water shortage? What shortage?)…who has the most illegal rentals tucked in to their backyards/garages/patios…and-of course-the usual sounds of sirens filling out the sense that we are not alone as a nightly assault on the local gas station and/or market attracts our city's finest as they are expected to clean up the riff-raft of garbage that just naturally gravitates in a loop towards any location they think has money to share!
Thank you Robert. Please send me an invite and I will gladly come to your place!

THE NATIONAL ALLOTMENT AND GARDEN SOCIETY LTD.
May we make a special request to everyone who has occasion to park his car or lorry in New Road to do so in such a way that it is not likely to prove an obstruction for the free movement of traffic. In other words do not park opposite another parked vehicle. Readers are also reminded that it is an offence to park within 15 yards of a road junction so that to do so at Barton Way / New Road is illegal. If we, as a community, do not heed this situation (particularly near the Fox and Hounds) then the inevitable "No Waiting" signs are likely to raise their ugly heads in New Road. We don't want this.
cannot provide comparable services for us.
Two voluntary wardens keep an eye on the Woods; they are Mr. T. N. Millway (3 All Saints Lane) and Mrs. Knight-Mohan (41 Harvey Road). Mr. Millway tells us he is continually noticing rubbish and rubble beings dumped in the Woods, and in the river. He keeps the Council's Engineer informed and action follows. Will anyone who enjoys strolling in the Woods please support the wardens by letting them know-or better still writing to the Council-vof any damage or rubbish they may see.
and the Welcome Club, making a total for the year of £250 each.
LAND AT THE JUNCTION OF NEW ROAD/ WATFORD ROAD - Confirmation has been obtained that this is still Crown Property, 'at present reserved for the use of the G.P.O. Telecommunications Branch.
STAMP MACHINES - Two machines will be placed in Baldwins Lane. If you lose your money in a stamp machine remember the responsibility rests with the Head Postmaster at Watford not with the sub post office. No new machines are being made for present coins, as the manufacturers have already commenced making machines for decimal coinage.
YOUR COMMITTEE - We record thanks to Mr. Talbot, Mr. Veysey and Mr. Wallwork, who have recently had to resign from the Committee; two are moving away. The Officers are empowered to co-opt Committee members during the year, so if you could 'help us with constructive ideas coupled with personal 'experience, please contact Mr. Reason or Mr. Cherrill. Please remember this is YOUR Association, which needs keen helpers to keep it going.
MORE LIGHTING - At last progress has been made in getting more lights on the pathway between Barton Way and Springfield Close. Two additional lighting standards are to be placed at a cost of £125. There are also to be two more concrete lighting columns at the eastern link of The Green.
BUSES AND TRAINS - The Public Transport Committee of Rickmansworth Council has been charged with the task of 'examining local public transport services, 'and is prepared to receive comment and suggestions from organisations or individuals. Your Association has remitted the comment that buses often come along in bunches which seems 'attributable to lack of adherence to timetables. Worse, we know, is the omission of any expected bus.
COMMON RIGHTS OVER THE GREEN - Arising from Government proposals over a year ago anyone could apply for the registration of common rights. Apparently two applications have been so lodged, and we hear Rickmansworth Council (who give no reasons in the Minutes) have lodged objections so that the Council can be fully satisfied of the alleged rights!
WE QUOTE - Countless thousands of housewives must be sick and tired of sweeping up cereals because of the stupidly designed packets (Durham Consumer Group).
LLOYDS BANK - A branch has opened in a temporary building in New Road; this is under the supervision of the Watford Branch.
PRIVATE CENSUS - A neighbour tells me he has to walk along Watford Road at 7 a.m. and during the ten minute walk he counts heavy lorries. He has never 'counted less than 24 and reckons on average there are 36 vehicles travelling at that time of the morning. Just a little bit of proof for the need for the North Orbital Road.
ROBBING PETER TO PAY - It's not often Rickmansworth Council really work a crafty trick, but this time Herts County Council are convinced they are being robbed. The local council will charge the County £2,500 p.a. for 99 years' annual ground rent for the site of Rickmansworth Library now being constructed. Mind you, we're not likely to benefit from this paper transaction.
DON'T STOP HERE - 'No waiting' restrictions have come to New Road and Barton Way. The official intention appeared as a public notice last December and nobody objected to it. Consequently vehicles will not be allowed to stop on either side of New Road and Barton Way for a length of 35 yards from the junction. Similar restrictions have been imposed on the junction of New Road with Dickinson Square. The Association, and the Council, view this matter gravely to the extent that a restriction on kerbside waiting should be balanced with car parking facilities. It is a pity that the Public Library and the Welcome Club border a restricted length of kerbside and where whose patrons can be expected to exceed the number of shoppers. Fortunately the restriction expires at 6.30 p.m.
WHO TOLD YOU THAT? - From an exam. paper: "Ratepayers are a cross section of population" (The Evening News). We hope the lad got full marks for this; we ratepayers sure are as cross as cross can be.
ROOM FOR 110 CARS - The first public car park in Croxley Green can now be found at Croxley L.T.E. station where 110 cars can find a space at a charge of 2/-d. per day or 8/6d. with a weekly season. So far, demand has been very light; we wonder how popular it will become.
SCRAP METAL YARD - Many residents in Watford Road and Sycamore Road will be very relieved that Edwards' scrap metal yard has gone at last from the railway sidings near Croxley Green station. This piece of industrial nuisance has been with us for over ten years and every effort to regulate the business met with frustration. It is remembered that a photographer from the Daily Mirror once photographed the dump. The business was carried on in spite of planning stipulations and efforts by the R.U.D.C. on the grounds of non-compliance were nonavailing, Thank goodness, too, that most of the advertising hoardings have been dismantled, and we hope the local authority will have the wisdom to preclude further advertising in a purely residential area.
THE QUEEN'S HONOURS LIST - We proudly record the award of M.B.E. to Mr. B. H. W. Tullett for his services to the National Savings Movement. Mr. Tullett is a Committee member of this Association.
LAG IN PLANS FOR PARKING - A report by the British Road Federation states that one town council in three had no real concept of how traffic in their centres would develop and the effect it would have on local people, and went on to say that far too many local authorities had not started to tackle the problem with the decision and imagination it required.
The kiosk from outside 197 Watford Road which was removed last February is still missing. Much correspondence and telephone conversation has been held with the Area Manager's Office from which It is expected the kiosk wiJ.l soon be re-sited in 'Sycamore Approach.
SO WHERE DID ALL THE GROUSES GO?
According to Consumer Consultative Machinery in the Nationalised Industries '(H.M.S.O. £1) only 12 per cent of the population have ever heard of the electricity and gas consumer consultative machinery, and the numbers who have actually used it to make complaints are insignificant, according to a survey by the Consumer Council. Names of serving members may be obtained at any post office.
In co-operation with the Croxley Green Welcome Club the W.R.V.S. distribute meals under the meals on wheels scheme, and this is subsidised by the Council at 7d. per meal. Further information may be obtained from the Welcome Club (who also serve lunches in the Club).
FORMER L.M.R. GOODS DEPOT - When this land was vacated last year the Council showed interest in its purchase for housing purposes, and it was rumoured that the houses might be for elderly people. Now, we hear, the Railway Estate Surveyor has decided to put the land up for sale by tender. The Council has discussed this feature and, in view of the financial needs, is unlikely to display further interest. We hope, however, they will seek to have the advertisement hoardings removed won.
HORSE WATER TROUGH - If you were a horse and had just hauled a wagon up Scots Hill you would have been in need of a drink! The horses have gone but the trough remains. The Parochial Church Council of All Saints' Church has persuaded the R.UD.C. to utilise the trough for flowers as a decorative feature on the roadside. The P.c.c. will tend the garden and we look forward to a fine display of flowers in the spring.
Through the medium of The Croxley Green Resident we are asking 'Our councillors to provide a recreation ground for the many children who live in Valley Walk, Sycamore Road, and other nearby roads. It is our fault that they get into trouble for playing in the road; it is an example of bad planning, a's this should have ensured a playground was provided for the children. When you examine the problem 'Of this area of Croxley Green you will find the nearest recreation ground is nearly a mile away at Barton Way-with the dangers of crossing Watford Road to reach it. Where can these children play? The question must be answered with positive action-NOW. Suggestions will be welcomed by your Association.
years that it is planned to have another this year between the 15th and 24th August. The club will be for children over the age of seven and will be held in the mornings and afternoons. Mr. Warner will be pleased to give more details. and to enrol members. Send your application now before it is too late.
for the benefit and pleasure of the residents at large, including the many visitors who enjoy having a drink in the local. There has been bother over the parking of cars, which now seems to have 'been remedied to a fair extent. It has taken nearly two years to get the Council to look into the problems of horse riding on The Green. To test the sincerity of the Council as landlords of The Green they were asked to consider a ban on horse riding, although if agreement were not reached on this point, then riding should 'be located in one part of The Green only. The Association had in mind that a precedent would be taken from the way the problem had been tackled at Chorleywood Common whereby horses are restricted by a bye-law to using one part of the Common. However, in Rickmansworth District it transpired that The Green is not common land and therefore the Council could not, even if it wished, proceed to obtain a bye-law in respect of horses. But, on another hand, Watford Council has dealt with the problem in so far as Whippendell Woods are concerned. The Association is in harmony with everyone else that unnecessary laws should not be made, although when looked at from the majority viewpoint, there are more people who enjoy a walk on The Green than there are people who want to exercise their horse. We now broadcast the hope expressed by the Council that horse-riders will keep off the footpaths, away from the seats, and so control their mounts at all times as will not cause distress .or unpleasantness to other people.

Q: How to convert a generic xml format block to properties format String from an xml file using ksh script With the conditions:

*

*I cannot use any XML parser tool as I don't have permission , read only

*My xmllint version does not support xpath, and I cannot update it , read only

*I dont have xmlstarlet and cannot install it
My options are limited to almost String processing.
An input parameter will be provided by the user and it will be the name of the block.
So,
let's assume
NAME=${USER_INPUT}

and we will use $NAME as the parameter to search the xml block that will be searched.
How can I convert a generic xml block like this in an xml file like this:
<block>
 <name>Bob</name>
 <address>USA</address>
 <email>bob@dogs.com</email>
 <phone>1234567</phone>
</block>

<block>
 <name>Peter</name>
 <food>France</address>
 <cell>peter@pizza.com</cell>
 <drinks>Coke</drinks>
 <car>Honda</car>
 <bike>Mountain bike</bike>
</block>

So the thing that I want to achieve here is to get the xml block that satisfies my search ,
for example NAME=Bob ;
The output of the script should be in properties file format
name=Bob
address=USA
email=bob@dogs.com
phone=1234567

A thing to consider here is that the xml format per block are different. The nodes are not the same for every xml block.

A: Perl has a nifty "paragraph mode" (-00) where records ("lines") are separated by a blank line instead of a single \n character. Using this, you can very easily extract the relevant records. So, first make sure that there is a blank line before each <block>, and then use paragraph mode to find what you're searching for:
$ sed 's/<block>/\n<block>/' file | perl -00ne 'if(/<name>\s*bob\s*<\/name>/i){print}'
<block>
 <name>Bob</name>
 <address>USA</address>
 <email>bob@dogs.com</email>
 <phone>1234567</phone>
</block>

Now, wrap this in a shell script (using bash here):
#!/bin/ksh

## Read the search strings
tag="$1"
value="$2"
target="file.xml" ## change this to whatever your xml file is called

## Search
sed 's/<.\?block>/\n/' "$target" |
    perl -00ne "if(/<$tag>\s*$value\s*<\/$tag>/i){
                   ## May as well do the formatting in Perl as well
                   s# *<([^/]+?)>#\1=#g;
                   s/<\/.+?>//g;
                   print
                 }"

Then, run the script giving the tag name and desired value as input:
$ a.sh "name" "bob"
name=Bob
address=USA
email=bob@dogs.com
phone=1234567

Staff Reporter:The High Court on Monday asked the concerned authorities of Viqarunnisa Noon School and College in Dhaka not to collect extra tuition fees from its students for the next one year.
In response to a writ petition, the court also questioned the legality of the rule that empowers the education board to form ad hoc committees for leading the private education institute.
The board forms the ad hoc committee under Section 39 of the Private School and College Governing Body and Managing Committee Regulations, 2009, petitioner Advocate Eunus Ali Akond told bd24live.
The HC ordered a ruling asking the authorities concerned to interpret in four weeks as to why the section 39 of the Private School and College Governing Body and Managing Committee Regulations, 2009 should not be announced illegal and unconstitutional.
Education secretary, chairman of Dhaka education board, deputy commissioner of Dhaka, chairmen of ad-hoc committees of Viqarunnisa Noon School and College, Ideal School and Willes Little Flower School and their principals have been made respondents to the rule, Eunus Ali Akond said.
The HC bench of Justice Zinat Ara and Justice Kazi Md Ejarul Haque Akondo came up with the order and rule following a writ petition filed by Supreme Court lawyer Akond challenging the legality of section 39 of the Private School and College Governing Body and Managing Committee Regulations, 2009.
In the petition, he also challenged the action of the ad hoc committee of Viqarunnisa Noon School and College charging extra tuition fees from its students.
Citing from the petition, Eunus said section 39 of the Private School and College Governing Body and Managing Committee Regulations, 2009 is contradictory with the constitution, as there is no provision in the charter for formation of an ad hoc committee for the private school and college.
The constitution only allows formation for governing body or managing committee for such a private institution, he said.

Players begin training at Chandigarh sport complexes
May 24, 2020, Chandigarh
Reference: https://indianexpress.com/article/sports/sport-others/players-chandigarh-sport-complexes-training-6424494/
More than two months after they were closed, Chandigarh sports complexes and stadiums saw trainees train for the first time with social distancing measures in place, on Saturday. While the 20+ sports complexes of the UT Sports Department saw more than 200 players turning up for training, the CLTA tennis stadium saw more than 50 players train on the first day of training post lockdown.
"We had more than 25 high performance and tournament group trainees in the morning followed by 10-15 inter-mediate trainees train at CLTA Stadium in the evening. We had made sure that only two players train on each court and the players were not even allowed to service, which includes touching the ball. The courts were sanitized after the morning session and cars being not allowed in the complex. Players remained on their side of the court and no rotation was allowed," said Romen Singh, chief coach, CLTA while speaking to the Sunday Express. CLTA trainee Calvin Golmei was part of the first group. "Training after more than two months was refreshing for us, even as we took all precautions," he said.
The UT Sports department had earlier allowed resumption of ten sports with activities in six sport disciplines, Saturday. At the Sector 38 Sports Complex, badminton training started with ten trainees.
"We started with ten trainees today and the number will be increased to 20 each in the morning and evening sessions. We have six courts and each court will see only two players training and a maximum of 12 players in the hall at a time. The players were told about the precautions and preventive measures apart from light training. Players were screened prior to training. The players carry masks and sanitizers with them and we also sanitise the shuttles. We have also placed the benches in the hall at a distance," said Surinder Mahajan, secretary, Chandigarh Badminton Association and Indian badminton coach.
At the Lake Club Sports Complex, archery training saw 10-12 archers training on Saturday. While the complex has a total of eight targets, players were told not to use other targets and the targets were sanitized after each session. "Since training happens outdoors, players were told to shoot from their respective marked areas and sharing of arrow and equipment was not allowed. Players cannot approach other target areas except their own target area and targets were sanitised. We expect more trainees to come in coming days and we will make different batches," said Kulbir Singh, archery coach at the complex.

Regardless of who may have actually fired the shot, it is evident commercial flight paths over eastern Ukraine have been endangered by the Kiev regime's aerial bombardment of eastern cities and towns. Whether it was pro-autonomy fighters hoping to fend off further Ukrainian Air Force attacks or Kiev creating a 'false flag' incident is unlikely to be definitively established for some time.
Irrespective of any truth the US, with its British echo, want to galvanise public opinion against Russia, press Germany and France to toughen EU sanctions against Russia and increase support for Kiev's offensive against eastern Ukraine. They are more than willing to falsify evidence and invent total fabrications – just as the US and Britain did over Iraqi weaponry in 2003 to 'justify' invading that country.
Imperialist propaganda is supporting Kiev's February coup-installed government conduct a relentless struggle to crush the opposition in Ukraine. Across the country the pro-autonomy movement is being systematically repressed. And for the past three months a brutal military assault has been waged against cities in the eastern regions of Donetsk and Lugansk where the populations want autonomy.
In these regions the population opposes the coup-installed regime and supports armed resistance against it. Kiev's strategy is to terrorise the people into giving up, by attacking heavily populated areas of cities with fighter jets and artillery. It has destroyed much of the east's infrastructure and cut off the population's gas, water and power supplies. Hundreds of civilians have been killed and tens of thousands displaced by this military offensive.
Three weeks ago the local self-defence forces in the east were ousted from their previous strongholds in the eastern cities of Slaviansk and Krematorsk. So now Kiev's military focus is on uprooting the resistance still controlling the largest cities in east, Donetsk (population one million) and Lugansk (population 400,000), so they are under attack.
The resistance forces have no air-force nor a large army to fight Kiev's much larger NATO-equipped forces, but have successfully defeated some Kiev military units.
As described here and here on this website, imperialism's project is to advance NATO's bases and weaponry in to Ukraine, to maximise Western military pressure on Russia. But such an ending of Ukraine's neutral alignment, to participate in an anti-Russian military alliance, is widely opposed across east and south Ukraine. People in these regions politically identify more with Russia than with the West, hence the huge support for autonomy from Kiev.
In western Ukraine a majority effectively supports aligning with imperialism against Russia. The fundamental democratic solution to this division within Ukraine's population is to let every region determine its orientation. Ukraine would then divide, but the current war and repression could be avoided.
Russia has been seeking a compromise with the West, not the partition of Ukraine, and would like to negotiate for some autonomy for the east. Putin arranged for the Russian Council of the Federation to repeal its earlier authorisation of possible deployment of Russian troops into Ukraine and its state media has reduced supportive coverage of the resistance.
However the US and, following its lead, Kiev are not interested in making any concessions. Imperialism plans to consolidate the control of the west it seized in February and is orchestrating with Kiev the offensive to extend that control across the east. Eastern opposition to Kiev's adoption of the IMF's agenda makes it more difficult to impose the neo-liberal economic policies that will savagely attack the entire population's living standards. So Kiev's military policy is to crush the opposition. No negotiations are being offered and any ceasefire is only temporary, as the objective is the opposition's unconditional surrender. Given this approach the outcome of this struggle will ultimately be decided militarily.
Petro Poroshenko was installed as President, following the rigged 25 May 'election' in which no serious candidate defending continued Ukrainian neutrality was able to stand. He is a billionaire oligarch who benefited from the privatisation and plundering of the state-owned economy of the Soviet era.
Politically this coup-installed government is a coalition of pro-Western neo-liberals and Ukrainian nationalists including the neo-fascist parties. The latter are the descendants of the militias that collaborated with the Nazi's 1941-44 occupation of Ukraine.
Today's far-right forces constitute the core personnel in the offensive against the opposition. Neo-fascist ministers have called for internment camps to 'filter' the regime's opponents and for resettlement of the mutinous eastern populations.
Since May's reinstatement of compulsory military service, many conscript soldiers have refused to fire on civilians. So a 'National Guard', drawing heavily on the fascist political movements and militias, has been formed. This is the backbone of the 'Anti-Terrorist Operations' against the east, whose battalions are renowned for their extreme-right politics and Nazi era emblems.
The industrial regions in the east are Ukraine's most proletarian areas, with the Donbass being Ukraine's principal coal mining and steel area. This is where opposition to Kiev's political and economic direction is most widespread and people have taken up arms. Within this area the regions of Lugansk and Donetsk overwhelmingly voted in referendums on May 11 for political independence, following which they declared their autonomy from Kiev. They have been seeking federation within Ukraine but with a degree of self-government sufficient for them to implement more progressive economic and political policies. The leadership of the Union of the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics supports socialisation of the basic means of production, nationalisation of the banking sector and the removal of the oligarchs running the country.
Whilst proletarian forces are the core of the resistance, in contrast, the key social bases of Ukrainian nationalism are petty-bourgeois and declassed elements of society. The Maidan movement is not just pro-Western but also explicitly anti-socialist and has destroyed monuments to Lenin across the country.
Outside the resistance controlled areas in east Ukraine, opposition political forces face extreme repression, with their activities effectively outlawed. They are assaulted by neo-fascist gangs, the police and the judiciary. Political kidnappings and disappearances are taking place. Journalists and political activists are being attacked.
Across the provinces of Ukraine's south and east there is widespread opposition to the Kiev regime. But where there are no local armed self-defence forces the cities and towns have effectively become occupied by an assortment of nationalist paramilitary groups sent in by Kiev to crush any signs of opposition. In Odessa and Kharkov there are now many political prisoners and dozens of pro-autonomy activists have been killed by fascist militia, including the 42 murdered in May inside the Odessa trade union headquarters that was set on fire.
An anti-war conference held in Yalta in Crimea on 6 and 7 July bought together more than 100 people from across Ukraine. It discussed the imperialist offensive and called for urgent international solidarity with Ukraine's pro-autonomy movement.
Progressive people in the West should demand an immediate ceasefire, an end to Kiev's military offensive and that NATO stops its manoeuvres in Ukraine.
In Britain the Stop the War Coalition is campaigning against NATO's new cold war with Russia. The forthcoming protests against NATO's summit in Newport should be widely built, including the mass demonstration on 30 August (details from STWC here and CND here). Also the activities of the campaign Solidarity with the Antifascist Resistance in Ukraine should be supported.

Samsung prepares leap into smart speaker fray - Mobile World Live

Samsung prepares leap into smart speaker fray
Samsung was tipped to release a smart speaker during the first half of 2018 in a bid to compete with Amazon, Google and Apple in the increasingly crowded artificial intelligence (AI) home assistant market.
A report by Bloomberg said Samsung would use its Bixby voice assistant – which suffered a number of language problems since its first appearance in South Korea during March – and market the speaker based on the quality of its audio.
The news portal's sources said the speaker would connect with Samsung's wide range of home electronics and mobile devices, and could be used as a smart home hub – in the same way as rival speakers already available.
After a delayed start in English speaking markets Bixby is now available on flagship Samsung devices in more than 200 countries, the company revealed in late August.
In an apparent bid to further improve its voice assistant, Samsung acquired South Korean AI start-up Fluently in November.
Fierce competition
Entering the smart speaker market would pitch Samsung into an area identified as a priority by a number of high-profile companies.
Although rivals including Apple and even operator Deutsche Telekom are poised to enter the smart speaker market, a Strategy Analytics report released earlier this week revealed Amazon and Google remained the dominant players during Q3 2017.
The company estimated Amazon's Q3 shipment share at 67 per cent, with Google providing 25 per cent of a total of 7.4 million global smart speaker shipments during the quarter.
David Watkins, director of Strategy Analytics' Smart Speaker research unit, said: "Competition in the smart speaker market is becoming fierce as the fledgling category welcomes new entrants such as Harman Kardon, Sony and Sonos, all of whom have a much richer audio heritage than Amazon or Google.
"The competitive landscape will heat up even further in 2018 and we expect to see the introduction of a new wave of third party devices that support one or even both of the Alexa and Google Assistant voice AI platforms. All of this activity will of course pile more pressure on Apple whose own Siri-based HomePod speaker failed to materialise in time for the holiday season and will now make its debut in 2018."

What is a Quasi-Criminal Matter?
A presumption is defined by Black's Law legal dictionary as a legal inference, or assumption that a fact exits, based on the known or proven existence or some other fact or group of facts. The presumption regarding domestic violence is that a person liable for domestic violence is not in the "best interest" of the minor children regarding child custody.
Presumptions can be either rebuttable or not. A rebuttable presumption is a presumption that applies unless evidence is shown to rebut (sufficiently refute or argue against) the presumptions.
Our firm as an example, during a domestic violence hearing, may agree that domestic violence was perpetrated but we may not agree that the presumption should apply. Remember – only the facts indicate how to proceed on any domestic violence matter.

Think Like a Chief Innovation Officer and Get Work Done
VMware CTO's keynote at Interop addressed coping with mismatches between business practices and adopting new technology in an organization.
Joao-Pierre S. Ruth | Oct 13, 2020
Editor's note: This article was originally published on our sister site, InformationWeek.
Last Thursday at Interop, VMware CTO and senior vice president Greg Lavender delivered a virtual keynote where he discussed the need for everyone within organizations to think like a chief innovation officer while keeping in touch with their practical, operational needs. His full keynote and other Interop sessions are available on demand.
Lavender's talk examined the need to cultivate a culture of innovation and execute transformation -- but without breaking anything. One key element, he said, is to be aware of what makes up an IT ecosystem before plowing ahead with changes. "Always maintain the context of where you're operating and what's the next future step," he said. Furthermore, Lavender said it is important to move with, rather than swim against, the current of change.
Organizations should keep their eyes on external innovation, he said, as well as their organic, internal innovation. The pros and cons of new technology should still be weighed carefully before adoption. Lavender said open source tech, for example, offer access to new tools and automation, but they might not have commercial support, could be unstable, and may introduce security issues.
Rushing to embrace technology can also be a problem, he said, if an organization does not take the time to understand customers' needs and concerns the new resource is intended to address. Pushing technology without clear instructions on what to do with it can create more confusion than it resolves. "You'll build something, but it might not be the right thing," Lavender said.
There needs to be a balance of harnessing innovation without being too disruptive, he said. That means understanding business context that makes new ideas relevant to the operation. "Disrupt yourselves but don't disrupt yourselves fatally," Lavender said.
Lavender said part of his team at VMware not only keeps abreast of innovations ready to debut; they also explore what is beyond the horizon. "5G is the new 'new thing,'" he said. "We're investing in 6G, thinking that's going to be completely software-defined."
Inner reflection is also part of the equation. Investing in internal research and development, Lavender said, by connecting top engineers to brainstorm can lead to the creation of new products, features, potential patents, and published papers. "It's a way of amplifying and creating that culture of innovation," he said. "If you want to innovate at large scale, you need to have a culture of [innovation] that is pervasive in your organization."
There can be external opportunities to innovate by building relationships with partners who might even be competitors on some level, Lavender said. The open APIs and microservices organizations share can allow others to benefit from their technology and vice versa.
Roadblocks to getting the most out of innovation can come from within. Organizations that are not properly aligned because of talent issues or time and budget challenges might make the mistake of not changing their business processes when they apply new technology, Lavender said. This can lead to packaging their problems rather than fixing them. "If you automate the organizational misalignment, you have misaligned automation," he said.
Daily challenges many CIOs face tend to include dealing with the multicloud landscape, addressing demand for improved customer experience, and increasing competition over a limited talent pool, Lavender said. The biggest, recurring challenge he hears from customers is the management of their mountain of legacy resources, which can consume as much as 80% to 90% of their IT budget. That makes it difficult to transition forward, he said, especially when compounded by other headwinds such as regulatory shifts, customer expectations, and security threats.
He compared dealing with the mountain of legacy resources to difficulties associated with the Tower of Babel. "As technology evolves, you tend to build upon what you had in the past," Lavender said. "It's always under construction, it's almost never done." The top layers of the legacy mountain are where applications are found, trying to reach the cloud, he said. Those apps need a well-architected infrastructure foundation that is also agile and can expand to pivot with change. The problem is there might be a mainframe embedded in the foundation, which can hold the organization hostage from the innovation they want to explore. "Because [the mainframe] spreads such mission critical workloads, you can't just rip it out," Lavender said. "If you rip it out, the whole thing collapses."

Council Tax, Schools, Young People
Bromley Council's Budget: What Will Happen to BYMT?
November 28, 2014 Cllr. Neil Reddin	2 Comments
Many residents, parents and otherwise, will be aware of the outstanding reputation and work of the Bromley Youth Music Trust (BYMT).
However, as may will be aware, Bromley Council is facing some difficult decisions as they try to find some £60-70m savings over the next four years, and services such as BYMT, which the council is not required to provide by law, will come under scrutiny.
Currently the council makes a grant of £306,000 per annum to BYMT, in addition to a peppercorn rent at the Southborough Lane site which represents a further subsidy of some £150,000 p.a.. The Council are very keen to ensure that BYMT is able to become more financially secure by reducing its reliance on volatile council funding and diversifying its income sources. That is why they have been reducing, in a manageable way, the grant to BYMT over the last few years – in fact the direct grant to BYMT now represents less than 20% of its total income (compared to 45% four years ago) – while at the same time, crucially, the council is working with BYMT to source other funding streams.
One of these is a bid to the Arts Council, to become a hub for musical excellence in South East London. Also, the council is looking at other ways that it can support BYMT financially with the help that it already gives pupils from poorer backgrounds. The council is also encouraging BYMT to engage with other local authorities and schools, providing music services to a currently under-supplied market, as well as seeking more commercial sponsorship and support.
Bromley Council is very keen that it's able to meet its own financial challenges but without leaving BYMT 'high and dry'. As a jewel in Bromley's crown we all want to see BYMT continue to go from strength to strength and the council is determined that its reputation is sustained even as its dependence on the council taxpayer continues to reduce.

60 Million Questions … But No Easy Answers
Over the next four years Bromley Council will need to make savings of nearly £60m out of a budget that currently totals around £200m. If you had to take that 30% out of the budget, how would you prioritise the many services the Council provides?
Bromley received the second lowest government grant (per head) in London but, because we are already a low spending council, we also have the lowest Council Tax in Outer London. However, central government is reducing funding to local government as part of the effort since 2010 to get the national finances back on an even keel, and the effect on councils is amplified by the commitment to protect NHS and education budgets.
Against this background, all councillors – including us here in Hayes and Coney Hall – are going to have the make some very difficult decisions.
Now you can tell the council what you think, either online here or at one of the two public meetings taking place:
20th November 7pm at Orpington Methodist Church, Sevenoaks Road BR6 9JH
28th November 11am at Bromley Civic Centre, Stockwell Close BR1 3UH

Would You Put Hayes on the Tube Map?
Transport for London are proposing a £3m scheme to extend the Bakerloo line to Hayes via Lewisham. This would mean direct services across the West End and into North London and possibly more frequent services (though whether these higher frequencies will extend to Hayes is unclear). However, there would be no direct connection to the City or London Bridge, and some dislike the idea of smaller trains (and without toilets).

Alcohol Licence bid withdrawn in Station Approach
An application for a licence to sell alcohol at the service station at the bottom of Station Approach has been withdrawn after a knock-back from the licensing committee.
At a hearing recently Cllr. Graham Arthur, on behalf of residents, had argued against the application, following which the bid was deferred in order to gather data on the number of potential customers and other aspects. Shortly after, however, the application was formerly withdrawn by the applicant.

Pills, thrills, and Britain's second Summer of Love

The second summer of love 30 years ago kickstarted the biggest cultural shift in the country since punk. ANDREW WOODS has his glowsticks at the ready to chart a course from Chicago to Ibiza to Manchester... and the M25.

In the summer of 2002, Anthony H Wilson – boss of Factory Records and its legendary Manchester nightclub the Hacienda – was holding court before a press screening of 24 Hour Party People; Michael Winterbottom's musical homage to the north-west city and its music.
Wilson posited his theory that great musical movements happened once every 13 years or so. The British explosion of the early 1960s. Punk in the second half of the 1970s. And then, in 1988, the paradigm shift which took his Hacienda from an empty, costly barn to a packed, sweaty money machine – rave culture and its accompanying soundtrack.
They called it acid. Or acid house. But before that there was just house music.
Named after the Chicago club The Warehouse, house had become a catch-all term for technologically-constructed minimalist disco with repetitive 4/4 beats and a bpm of 120+.
Tracks produced by the likes of Frankie Knuckles, Marshall Jefferson and Jamie Principle sparked the interest of many UK DJs, label bosses and promoters from 1986 onwards; the year Man 2 Man Meets Man Parrish hit No.4 over here with Male Stripper. That same year, Farley Jack Master Funk entered the top 10 with Love Can't Turn Around. 1987 saw Steve 'Silk' Hurley hit No.1 in the UK with Jack Your Body – a track he didn't even bother promoting – while Pump Up The Volume by UK collective M/A/R/R/S also claimed the top spot. Something was brewing.
The squelching bass that came to typify acid house had been created after extensive experimentation by Chicago's DJ collective Phuture. The Roland TB-303 'bass sequencer' famously arrived with zero instructions and it was while fiddling with the knobs that DJ Pierre and DJ Spanky unearthed the famous bass line that instantly evoked images of bubbling lava lamps and kaleidoscopes.

Phuture's Acid Tracks (recorded in 1985 by Pierre, Spanky and Herb J and later released in 1987) was widely heralded as the first acid house single and was pushed heavily at the time by legendary Chicago DJ Ron Hardy.
UK DJs like Trevor Fung had been playing a lot of the US sounds on the Balearic island of Ibiza as far back as 1985 and he would return to the UK each autumn to play out these tracks at various clubs including The Garage in Nottingham, run by Graeme Park, and London's Project, which Fung and Paul Oakenfold put on, with minimal success. However, 1987 saw big changes in Ibiza when a new drug popped up in this spiritual nexus of the European hippy trail.
The story goes that there was a lads' holiday to Ibiza involving Paul Oakenfold, Nicky Holloway, Danny Rampling and Johnny Walker which hooked up with Fung and Ian St Paul, who lived on the island. The vibe that year, the friends noted, had changed significantly thanks to these little white pills. Light bulbs were duly illuminated once the loved-up group witnessed Argentinian exile DJ Alfredo mixing big anthemic rock tracks by Simple Minds and The Waterboys with Balearic beats and obscure instrumental montages at Amnesia. The friends knew they had to try and replicate that Balearic vibe back home in London, and planned club nights aimed initially at the thousands of Brits returning home from working holidays on the island.
Oakenfold launched Future in London in 1988, followed by Spectrum and Holloway started Trip. Legend has it that patrons were given a free E on entering Spectrum that first night, which saw ten times the number of ravers for the second party. But it was Danny Rampling's Shoom – operating out of a Southwark gym – and the yellow smiley face it had appropriated from the first summer of love via Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' Watchmen comics that perfectly encapsulated this rather amorphous collection of disparate influences and sounds that, while under the influence of this now readily-available drug, seemed to make some gorgeous sense.
Not far from Shoom was another influential south London club night, RIP at Clink Street, which kept with the harder sounds of acid house. Soon, UK acts such as S'Express, Coldcut and Evil Eddie Richards (performing under the name Jolly Roger) were shifting serious units of this vibe-heavy sound as pills were popped up and down the country.
Raves were now sprouting up all over the UK as the diet-suppressing MDMA of ecstasy gripped the nation's youth, while elevating the scene to a point where visiting DJs from the States were now shocked to see how the usually restrained Brits were now reacting to their music with whistles, glowsticks and airhorns filling the night. The 'orbital parties' that lined London's M25 and the Blackburn raves in Lancashire, were the most notable of the new illegal parties, as crowd numbers started to get into the tens of thousands.
The 'second summer of love' – which oddly covers the summers of both 1988 and 1989 – then received the all-important media panic from the tabloids, essential to any underground scene going nuclear. In June 1989, the Sun, which had been knocking out their own smiley face t-shirts, suddenly cottoned on to what was actually going down at these massive events. The newspaper's 'Spaced Out' headline, detailing the drugged-up antics witnessed at a Sunrise rave in Berkshire, was UK rave's equivalent of the Daily Mirror's 'The Filth And The Fury!' that followed the Sex Pistol's potty-mouthed appearance on Bill Grundy's tea-time talk show Today. Now, even your nan knew about acid house.
The party carried on right through to the end of the scorching summer of '89, when Manchester's A Guy Called Gerald (Gerald Simpson) released Voodoo Ray, which went on to be the biggest-selling independent single of that year. Acid house was largely over, but rave was continuing to grow as Detroit techno and new beat from Belgium started to mix it up with the vibes.
At a time when big-name rock, post-Live Aid, had Madonna, Prince, Michael Jackson, Bruce Springsteen, Dire Straits and U2 filling sports stadiums night after night, here was an enormous cultural movement with an almost total absence of celebrity. Even the records arrived in plain sleeves with little or no information. The more obscure a track was, the better. Whether you were pilled to the eyeballs or not, the hypnotic music and the overwhelming vibes transformed the most depressing abandoned cement factory into Studio 54. The audience was front and centre of this mushrooming scene.
Many women have talked about the freedom of being able to mix with men at these raves with absolutely zero agenda. Men no longer needed shiny shoes, pressed trousers and a collared shirt to get on to a dancefloor; a place rendered much less intimidating while rushing on E. Men, women, straights, gays, blacks and whites partied together as the establishment played catch-up with a totally renegade underground scene that was spilling out into the mainstream.
Rave was far from being a Utopia, but it was for many, a year zero. The rave scene established it own sense of community, built from the ground up. Fanzines and magazines popped up alongside fledgling record labels as the entire UK music industry was turned on its head. There were one-hit wonders, nom-de-plumes, collaborations, collectives, DJs who made music, musicians who DJed. The scene was making massive strides with virtually nobody in control. There were no agents, managers or sponsors in those early days.
Pirate radio burst into life too, as the dial became a battleground for rival stations. Record shops had counters piled high with flyers for upcoming events while new clothes labels and shops meshed the hippy ethnic vibe with rare-groove chic and the brash peacock colours of the soccer casuals, many of who had deserted the terraces to go raving.
Indie bands and fans joined in, with Stone Roses and the Paul-Oakenfold-produced Happy Mondays taking rave into completely new realms on Top of the Pops. New Order released Technique (recorded in Ibiza) in 1989, which was drenched in Vitamin D and a million miles away from their previously, more introverted sound. Stone Roses' Spike Island gig, the following year, represented peak Madchester with a line-up that featured New York's Frankie Bones and Hacienda's resident DJ Dave Haslam. That same summer, the notoriously stuffy stiffs at the Football Association commissioned New Order to record England's official World Cup song for Italia '90, the tournament that was to reboot the national game following some of its darkest days.
The official England World Cup track, World In Motion, was straight from the dancefloor, complete with a loved-up message of hope. There were smiley faces all round. Unless you were Paul Gascoigne.
By 2002, the whistles and Reni hats of rave long packed away, another era-defining revolution was due. But at the film screening, not even Anthony H Wilson could come up with a pertinent answer as to what it might be. Grunge? Nu-metal? Surely not.
The answer was staring us in the face. In 2001, Apple invented the iPod. Rave had put machines front and centre. Now they were taking over.

Q: Sending FileList using Ajax to PHP script I'm trying to send array files using JS. My code:
var formData = new FormData();
formData.append("files", files);

$.ajax({
    url: './upload.php',
    method: 'post',
    data: formData,
    processData: false,
    contentType: false,
success: function(response) {
  alert('Files uploaded successfully. ');
  console.log(response);
},
error: function(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {
   console.log(textStatus, errorThrown);
}

});

In this image you can see the response(red) from php https://beta.ctrlv.cz/mUwx and also you can see the files array data. My php code is:
<?php
    echo $_POST['files'][0]["name"];
?>

I want use php script for upload, but the ajax didn't sent the array of file, which is important for uploading.

A: Here's an answer that I found:
var data = new FormData();
jQuery.each(jQuery('#file')[0].files, function(i, file) {
    data.append('file-'+i, file);
});

So now you have a FormData object, ready to be sent along with the XMLHttpRequest.
jQuery.ajax({
    url: 'php/upload.php',
    data: data,
    cache: false,
    contentType: false,
    processData: false,
    type: 'POST',
    success: function(data){
        alert(data);
    }
});

Here the source: https://stackoverflow.com/a/5976031/7282094
Hope that help.

A: Change contentType: false, to contentType: "multipart/form-data", possibly.
Taken from http://api.jquery.com/jquery.ajax/

contentType (default: 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded;
  charset=UTF-8') Type: Boolean or String When sending data to the
  server, use this content type. Default is
  "application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8", which is fine for
  most cases. If you explicitly pass in a content-type to $.ajax(), then
  it is always sent to the server (even if no data is sent). As of
  jQuery 1.6 you can pass false to tell jQuery to not set any content
  type header. Note: The W3C XMLHttpRequest specification dictates that
  the charset is always UTF-8; specifying another charset will not force
  the browser to change the encoding. Note: For cross-domain requests,
  setting the content type to anything other than
  application/x-www-form-urlencoded, multipart/form-data, or text/plain
  will trigger the browser to send a preflight OPTIONS request to the
  server.


Service Costs > How Much Does an Au Pair Cost?
An au pair, much like a nanny or babysitter, can offer you a consistent live-in situation from someone who is experienced and loves working with children.
This professional, often found through a verified agency, will provide 50+ hours of childcare a week based on your child/s needs for up to two years, regardless of their age.
NOTE: These are the averages we found at some of the agencies we researched. To budget, plan on spending about $20,000 for the "all-in" costs if you reside in the United States.
Interexchange.org, on its official website, notes the payment breakdown if you were to hire their agency. The program fee down payment, which is due upon matching, is $2,500, while the remaining balance, $5,790, is due upon the au pair's arrival to the United States. The agency does offer a six-month payment plan for families who need the help splitting up the payments. Lastly, a SEVIS visa processing fee of $35 will apply as well, bringing the grand total to $8,325 just to get the au pair to your doorstep. From there, you will be required to pay your au pair $195.75 a week, a minimum stipend which was set by the U.S. Department of State by multiplying the Federal Minimum Wage by the maximum number of hours worked per week, then subtracting 40% for room and board.
The program costs, as per GreatAuPairUSA.com, is $18,514 a year, which equates to $1,543 a month, $356 a week or $7.91 an hour.
CV Harquail at AuPairMom.com broke down the costs of her au pair, and while the post is old, it can offer some insight as to how much you should expect to pay for one. According to her numbers, she averaged $11 an hour based on a 50 week year, and these costs did not include the costs of training, maintaining her room and the wear and on the vehicle. In the table breakdown, the final costs for the year were $25,519 for her New Jersey-based family.
What's included in the agency fees?
Some agencies will charge a SEVIS visa processing fee, which can cost upwards of $50.
Domestic travel, even though it was mentioned in the inclusions above, may not be included in fees.
If you plan on allowing your au pair to use your vehicle, then you may want to factor in the insurance increases. You will be responsible for all travel when they are residing at your home.
The additional room and board expenses as you will be feeding another person, etc.
They can help prepare meals and feed your children throughout the day.
Infant care responsibilities including bottles feeding, diaper changes and even cuddling.
Assistance with any dressing, bathing, grooming and managing a bedtime routine.
Organizing activities, playtime and driving your children to school and extracurricular activities.
Aside from babysitting, they will be able to help do laundry, tidy the home and even help with homework.
A reputable agency will always ask for a private, suitable bedroom and meals.
All applicants must be a legal U.S. resident and will agree to speak English inside the home.
Families must always agree to a background check in which they should pass. An at-home interview will often be conducted as well.
References from family members and non-family members must be submitted.
Agree to comply with the agency rules which dictate how often the au pair can work and when he or she can take time off. Most au pairs will work no more than 45 hours a week and will receive at least one full weekend off a month, with a two-week vacation annually.
Sign the placement contract and agree to the weekly stipend for the au pair.
Most agencies will want the family to support the au pair in their educational program, often paying money towards the education.
Agencies will often ask you live within its service area, but this can vary from one agency to the next.
Most agencies work in the same way, but some may vary in some regards. The first step, in most cases, will be the application process where you and your family will fill out an application, usually via the official agency's website and talk to the agency about your expectations.
If approved by the agency, you will then choose an au pair from the agency's database based on your recommendations. Most agencies will ask you choose a handful so you can interview them to see if they meet your demands.
Once you find a match, you will schedule an arrival date with the agency, pay the necessary fees and sign a contract in regards to the agency's rules. In most cases, the arrival date will need to be about six to eight weeks out, and during this arrival time, the agency will book the flights and assist with the visa process.
When the au pair finally arrives, your agency will assign you a coordinator who will be able to help you with the process, answer any questions you may have and even check in to see how things are going. Most au pairs will work for 12 months but many families will extend this contract if the au pair allows it.
Is an au pair tax deductible?
Host families, according to AuPairCare.com are not required to withhold taxes from the au pair as your au pair is responsible for declaring their own income and submitting a tax return. To find out if you can the child and dependent care credit the IRS offers, you can use the official "Am I Eligible to Claim the Child and Dependent Care Credit?" via the IRS. Depending on your circumstances, your fees paid to the au pair directly may qualify as dependent care in the eyes of the IRS. For any tax-related questions, refer to your attorney or the IRS directly for more information. From what we researched, an au pair, as long as living with you, can be deducted, including food, transportation and anything else you pay for them.
Culture. An au pair, unlike a nanny, can bring their culture directly to your home. This can include their music, food, crafts and interests. While a live-in nanny may be able to offer it, most are often from the United States, meaning they will more than likely share the same views/interests.
Costs. Since an au pair intends to live in the United States and views this as a benefit, this can mean a lower cost when compared to a live-in nanny. The average costs of a live-in nanny can be closer to $750 a week versus $350 a week for an au pair when all expenses are considered.
Flexible. With an au pair, you can create a schedule which your au pair can accommodate, seeing they have to commit to 45 hours of childcare every week.
Experience. A nanny, most of the time, will have more experience, hence, the higher costs. In most cases, an au pair is looking for the U.S. experience for a few years, while a nanny may want to make a career out of it.
Language. As mentioned, you're essentially hiring an au pair from a foreign land, meaning they may have a hard time with the language occasionally.
No in-person meeting. While you can screen your au pair and talk with them over the phone, you will not be able to get that in-person vibe until they arrive in the United States.
