There are a number of features that you will need to make a note of to help your identification.
Estimate the size of the bird. It is often helpful to compare it with other species that you recognise alongside it, but if this is not possible, try to compare it with species you know well - is it the size of a robin, pigeon or gull for example.
Remember that birds often look bigger in poor light. It can be very difficult to estimate the size of a bird in flight, so only compare it with other birds you see in the air with it.
Does the bird remind you of any other species you are familiar with? What are your first impressions of the bird's shape? The bill (the bird's beak) and legs are an important part of the shape and you should pay special attention to these.
The type of bill can often give you a clue to the group of birds your bird belongs to. A small bird with a short and stout bill will probably be a seed-eater such as a finch or a sparrow, whilst a large bird with a hooked bill would suggest a bird of prey.
The length and colour of the legs, and if the feet have talons or are webbed are also important clues.
Plumage details are often important for correct identification, so you should try to note as much detail as possible. The basic colour of the bird can be an important clue, so note the colour of the upperparts (the back and wings), the underparts, the head and the tail.
Make a note of any prominent patches of bright colour. For instance, a blue patch on the wing would almost certainly belong to a jay, and a small bird with a red face and yellow on the wing would be a goldfinch. Does the bird have any obvious markings, such as stripes above the eye, streaks on the chest or bars on the wing? Is the tail the same colour as the back of the bird; is it all one colour, or does it have paler feathers on the outside or at the tip?
Yet again, there are pitfalls that can throw the unwary. Certain lighting conditions or wet feathers can make the bird look different. The juveniles of some birds have different colour from the adults, and the plumage of many adults changes with seasons.
Understanding the types of place certain birds prefer is a crucial factor in their identification. Some birds, many of which are familiar to you, such as blackbirds, finches or robins, are widespread and found in many habitats.
Certain species of bird favour a particular type of habitat, for instance capercaillies live in the ancient Scots pine forests and ring ouzels are found in rocky, scree-covered hills. So it is important to think about the kinds of birds you are likely to find in any given habitat – you would not expect to find an osprey in a garden or a woodpecker on open treeless moorland.
Deciding on the identity of a bird can be extremely frustrating, but rewarding when you work out what you have seen. However, there are pitfalls and the following tips may be useful.
Become familiar with the names of different parts of a bird's body. This will help when writing your notes or when you are describing the bird to others.
Use a notebook to record your sightings. This will develop your powers of observation and eye for detail. Do not rely on leafing through your fieldguide for the bird when you return home.
Keep your ears open. Many birds are heard before they are seen, so try to learn their calls. Look for sudden movements, which might give away the location of the bird.
Do not harass a bird to get a better view - the bird's welfare must always come first. The 'Code of conduct for birdwatchers' page explains the good practice and your responsibilities as a birdwatcher.
Get to know the birds of your local area - when you know what is common, then the uncommon will become noticeable. Plan your walk with the sun behind you, making it easier to see the birds.
If you intend to visit a site new to you for the first time, carry out some research before the visit. This will give you a good idea of what to expect to see.
Be aware of the possibility of albinos and escaped cage birds - these can seriously frustrate any efforts at identification. A bird with a strange combination of colours (eg a finch with a red beak) will most likely be a cage bird. Unexpected white markings in an otherwise familiar bird are likely to indicate a partly albino bird. Try to think of the bird without the white colour to help guide you to the correct identification.
Try to find a mentor, someone who knows their birds and would be willing to pass on their knowledge.
Before you make up your mind on the identity of the bird, check to make sure that the species you think the bird is, is actually found in the UK. Although rarities do occur, the chances of stumbling on one are slight.
And finally, mastering the skills needs lots of practice, patience and perseverance!

Block Party Turns Into Parents Encouraging Kids To Hit ICE Agent Pinata
Evie FordhamJuly 24, 2019
Activists transformed a Batman piñata into an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent and encouraged kids to take swings during a community day event, an activity captured in videos and photos posted to social media.
Anthony Martinez of the Chicago chapter of Los Brown Berets said his organization claimed responsibility for the piñata at East Side Community Day 2019, which according to the East Side Chamber of Commerce's Facebook took place on July 13.
CANDY WITH A SIDE OF CONTROVERSY: A piñata depicting a federal ICE agent was on display during a recent event in Chicago.
The same event also featured an activity that had kids throwing balls at a painted image of President Trump's face.
More details at 5 & 6 on @cbschicago pic.twitter.com/nou2JcRdAZ
— Eric Cox (@EricCoxTV) July 23, 2019
"It was not meant in a negative way at all towards law enforcement," Martinez told CBS Chicago, which covered the story Tuesday.
"Come join us tomorrow Saturday July 13th at the East side community day and take a hit back at the ICE pinata. Free popcorn, immigration information and information about ourselves," his group posted July 12 on Facebook.
Martinez said the ICE agent effigy was a way of "just making a statement" about the federal government's immigration policies — "taking children from their parents, separating them," Martinez told CBS Chicago. Los Brown Berets call themselves a civil rights movement focused on the chicano, or Mexican, community.
Martinez also said the money raised through the activities for the kids would go toward helping asylum seekers. Young children could also throw balls at a painting of President Donald Trump at the event, reported CBS Chicago.
The chamber of commerce's representative said they did not anticipate the event would cause controversy. More than 25 businesses are part of the group, according to CBS Chicago. A member of the chamber of commerce, Martin Covington, did not indicate the group would ban ICE piñatas or similar activities at future events. Covington said he didn't know the piñata would be part of the festivities, although Los Brown Berets had published their plans on social media.
The controversy comes after Trump announced — and then later scrapped — plans in June to conduct sweeping ICE raids across the country. Many communities have decided to stand with or against ICE as well. For example, a major D.C. suburb in Maryland will now punish officials who cooperate with federal immigration enforcement officers.
The East Side Chamber of Commerce and Chicago chapter of Los Brown Berets did not immediately return the Daily Caller News Foundation's requests for comment.

A Speedmaster Collector's Vintage Omega Constellation Watch
A tale of a treasured family heirloom
Ben Hodges
I'm sharing a story from a passionate Omega Speedmaster collector and his connection to his late grandfather's Omega Constellation. You may know him on Instagram as @dan_occasionally_likes_things. For brevity, I will just refer to him as Dan.
But before we get into our discussion, I want to explain some backstory into my digital friendship with Dan.
When I began my professional career around seven years ago, my father gifted me his 2006 Breitling Aerospace Avantage. Breitling introduced the ref. E79362 in 2005 and changed the name to "Aerospace Avantage". The advantage this reference brought was the back-light on the LCD screens. In 2007, the name reverted to just "Aerospace" with the COSC text on the dial changing from "Chronometre Certifie" to "Chronometre Aerospace". This makes my 2006 version a relatively short-lived model in the Aerospace timeline.
How I got into watches
This was my father's second Breitling Aerospace and the final watch he wore in the cockpit as captain for a commercial airline. What I wasn't expecting was how obsessive I would become over this timepiece and watches in general. Proudly wearing this Breitling was the spark that ignited my passion for all things horological — despite it being quartz. I had been wearing a titanium Seiko quartz chronograph for 10+ years before receiving the Breitling.
By the time I was commuting to London, the Seiko bracelet, case, and glass were scratched beyond recognition. I wore the Seiko solely for convenience — and it was extremely reliable — but at the time, I had no interest in (or knowledge of) luxury watches. My father felt the time was right for me to wear something more elegant. From then on, I was hooked. And now find myself writing for one of the most prominent media outlets in horology.
The elusive Aerospace
However, I always felt guilty that my father no longer had the benefit of having a multifunction and adaptable wristwatch. Not that he felt any need for me to reciprocate his gift. But earlier this year, I set about purchasing a brand-new Aerospace Evo for him. Unbeknown to me, the Aerospace had suddenly become scarce. My local retailers had no stock or prospects of receiving new inventory of Aerospace watches in any dial configuration.
A black dial Evo came upon a UK retailer's website, for which I promptly paid in full, only to be told three days later that the listing was an error and that they could not fulfill my order. To be fair to that retailer, they sent their sincerest apologies, and my refund came through reasonably quickly.
It just felt too coincidental to be true.
I phoned around but couldn't catch a break. I had not made my plight public but struck up a conversation with Dan on general goings-on. Casually, I mentioned the challenges I was facing in my hunt for the Evo. Dan happened to be in Prague and happy to swing by the Breitling boutique later that day. Crucially for me, Dan could have sworn he saw the very Aerospace Evo that I was seeking. Not letting my excitement get the better of me, I politely asked Dan to go back to double-check. It just felt too coincidental to be true.
The Breitling has landed
It was a big ask to get someone you've never met to go out of their way on their holiday to a place they visited once already. But Dan was a true gent. He gladly sent me pictures of the watch in the window. That was it! The very one! The watch that had eluded me for weeks! Even more importantly, Dan sent over the contact details for the boutique. I got in contact with the friendly staff at the Breitling Boutique in Prague to purchase and ship the watch to the UK. I was so happy that the transaction could take place before travel restrictions. A few days later, I hand-delivered the watch to my father.
This was a fantastic example of the support in our watch community
He was over the moon and has been wearing the watch non-stop since he got it. Dan even went back to the Breitling shop a third time, and as a gesture of his referral, the staff at the boutique gave Dan the elusive Breitling book. Dan has his own Breitling Navitimer 806 Re-Edition, but this book is typically reserved for repeat clients. Understandably, it became a great addition to his coffee table reading materials. This was a fantastic example of the support in our watch community and Dan and I have remained in contact — albeit digital-only, which we hope to change one day.
Interview with Dan
Stumbling across his Instagram feed some months later, I saw that Dan had posted an unusual square Omega Constellation. Reading the caption, I understood that Dan had acquired this piece following a family tragedy. Rather than retell his story, I reached out to Dan with my condolences and my interest in interviewing him for the Fratello site.
Ben Hodges: Welcome to the Fratello site, Dan. Before we move on to the main topic, I'd like to understand your passion for watches and how it began?
Dan: My passion for wristwatches awoke in 2011 during the first holiday with my wife. I say "awoke" because there was always an interest in watches, but the real passion was dormant. Our holiday was in Fuerteventura in the small town of Castillo Caleta de Fuste. It is a destination well-known for the sports bars and steakhouses. In the evenings, my wife and I would take long strolls, soaking up the town's atmosphere.
Situated in the town was a jeweler by the name of "Gold Touch", which had a variety of watches on display. Most prominent among brands was Omega. It was love at first sight with the Speedmaster. It was as if my passion for watches erupted there and then. And this is before my use of social media and the #SpeedyTuesday community. I knew that was it. I had to have a Speedmaster Professional. However, it took me a year to make up my mind, as spending that kind of money was not a straightforward decision. The Speedmaster just resonated with me. Partly because of the association with aircraft instrumentation, and with aviation being a massive part of my life. I eventually purchased my own Speedy Pro ref. 3570.50.00.
Ben: What line of work are you in?
Dan: I always wanted to be a pilot, or work within the aviation industry when I grew up. My grandfather and father used to take me to Heathrow Airport when I was a kid and watch the aircraft land. I could not get enough of it. Even now, it is something I love to behold. My grandfather used to take me to all the aviation museums, and I was always sad when it was time to leave.
I left school and started an apprenticeship, working on Lockheed Martin C-130 components. This experience paved the way to work for a significant civilian contractor on first-line maintenance on the C-130K/J and L-1011 Tristar. I regard myself as very lucky in always knowing what I wanted to do, my grandfather and parents saw this and only fuelled it, for this alone I thank them deeply.
Ben: You had a close relationship with your grandfather, can you tell me more about him?
Dan: My grandfather was an amazing man. Full of morals and principles. He loved his possessions and his family. Even at the age of 92, you could easily have a coherent, humorous and intelligent conversation with him. He was born in London and spent his entire childhood there. Although, he spent some time on the south coast in Devon during the blitz as an evacuee. He nearly served during the war, but unfortunately developed tuberculosis and spent over a year in bed recovering, something for which he felt guilty.
He left school at the age of 14 and started a career in industrial combustion, eventually starting his own business. Building a successful business led to a comfortable retirement. He married in 1952 and had two sons, one of whom tragically died in a cycling accident at just 16. As you can imagine, this turned the family upside down for some time. One of my fondest memories, of which there are many, is of the beautiful Aztec Gold 1980 Aston Martin V8 he owned. He would let me sit on his lap and steer it down the drive. Memories like this were also responsible for my car passion, so in some way, I would say I am a true reflection of him.
Ben: Was your grandfather into watches?
Dan: My grandfather had an interest in watches, but purely for the practical application rather than a luxury object. Just as he appreciated high-quality tools, he gravitated towards well-made timepieces. This is what drew him to the Omega Constellation ref. 198.0027. When I was young, my grandfather would hold the watch to my ear to let me listen to the tuning fork movement.
Ben: How did your grandfather purchase his watch?
Dan: In 1975, my grandfather was passing a jeweler in Guildford called Spikins and took notice of the solid-gold Omega Constellation with tuning fork movement. There were many different models available, but this one stood out to him. He went away to mull it over, but only had a short amount of time before the family holiday to Corfu. After pulling the trigger on the watch, the holiday felt extra special with his new acquisition. He even got a passing compliment on the Constellation while enjoying a coffee at the airport.
Other watches came and went, but his Omega Constellation was the mainstay that defined him. That's not to say the Omega was not put through its paces. He recently told me about moments where the Constellation was covered in diesel oil while at work — it was a tool watch after all. I actually recorded our conversation last year on the subject and I am so glad I did.
Ben: I understand your grandfather recently passed away. I am so sorry to hear this. May I ask the circumstances?
Dan: His health and mobility gradually declined in the past year. But he remained fiercely independent. Around the time travel restrictions were first imposed in March 2020, my grandfather was admitted to hospital. At the same time, we, unfortunately, discovered that he had contracted Covid-19.
Through the hard work of my family we did all get to say goodbye to him before the end, for that much we are all very thankful. In the end combined with his lack of mobility and declining mental health it may have been a fitting end. Even though that is very hard to fathom I'm sure if you were in the same position you may agree with me. It still doesn't make it easier that someone so heroic and inspirational has been taken by a situation that has affected us all, it never happens to you right?
Ben: How did you receive his Omega watch?
Dan: He was very protective of his possessions, but he gave me the Constellation a year before his passing. I was asked to look after his watch. It was a tremendous honor, knowing how much he treasured it.
Ben: What have you since done with the watch?
Dan: The watch was not in working condition though. Naturally, I assumed it needed a service. I kept it in the safe for some time. After his passing, I wanted to get it back to working order. I opened the case-back and assumed it just needed a new battery. To my surprise, it did! Since swapping the battery, it is keeping excellent time.
Ben: Is this now your favorite watch in the collection?
Dan: I would say the Constellation competes with my Speedmaster, but for different reasons. Holding and wearing the Omega Constellation is a different experience. It is what I appreciate most about this watch collecting hobby. Not just the visual attraction but the emotional attachment. From picturing him wearing the Constellation at work to seeing myself doing the same thing in some way continues his legacy. I owe a lot to my grandfather. To a great man that was loved by all and whose morals were strong, true and fair, I thank you.

Thanks for sharing Dan. 🙂
Thanks Faheem
Great share from both, Ben and Dan!
That's what it's ideally all about: the connections and memories tied to the watches – that make them special and remind us of life events and people.
Thank you Dan, it's amazing where the hobby can lead you sometimes.

Beautiful Article – Fantastic Memories
Many thanks, Sam. A beautiful legacy.
Robert-Jan says:
Thanks for sharing this story. It is exactly this what makes watches so great: the personal stories and associations people have with a watch. My Constellation story is similar to yours, and it immediately made me realize (again) how important this watch is to me.
Wear your Constellation in good health and at least till your 92nd birthday. Again, thanks for sharing!
Thank you RJ, in the last podcast you mentioned that you were starting to like the 70's Constellations. Have you seen any you particularly like?
Yes, wouldn't mind the Megaquartz with Aventurine dial 🙂

Top House Republican wants ban on new federal regulations
By Deirdre Walsh, CNN Congressional Producer
Boehner says a moratorium would give the private sector "breathing room"
The ban on new federal regulations could last a year, he suggests
He spoke after a meeting with representatives of various business sectors
Democratic official says it would lead to an "agenda written for lobbyists by lobbyists"
Washington (CNN) -- House GOP Leader John Boehner said he supports a ban on all new federal regulations, after meeting Friday with business lobbyists who complained about uncertain economic conditions.
"I think having a moratorium on new federal regulations is a great idea. It sends a wonderful signal to the private sector they may have some breathing room," Boehner said.
He said any ban would include an exemption for "emergency regulations" for some agencies and suggested it could last a year.
A House Republican leadership aide noted that Boehner and House GOP Whip Eric Cantor, in a proposal to President Barack Obama last year, suggested a similar halt to any new regulations that could cause new costs to small businesses.
Boehner and Illinois Republicans Peter Roskam and Aaron Schock convened a group of nearly 20 Washington-based business leaders who represent various sectors -- such as home builders, retailers and manufacturers -- as part of their "America Speaking Out" initiative to gather ideas for the GOP legislative agenda.
Roskam said those in the meeting reported that a significant obstacle to the economic recovery is "the down-talking of the private sector, the rhetoric."
"The anti-business rhetoric that they see coming out of Washington is more than just symbolic." Roskam added. "It's creating a great deal of uncertainty."
The people in the meeting, many of whom have contributed to GOP candidates, repeatedly criticized the Obama administration's and congressional Democratic leaders' approach to the economy, criticizing excessive federal spending and burdensome government regulations.
Bruce Josten from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce said businesses have "reached a tipping point" and noted his group believes the thousands of new regulations included in health care reform, the Wall Street overhaul and a pending climate change bill could take about 12 years to go into effect.
Jay Timmons from the National Association of Manufacturers maintained the United States is "becoming one of the most risky places in the world in which to do business." But Timmons did make a pitch for both parties to come together, saying, "It takes a bipartisan effort to get this economy moving again."
Ryan Rudominer, spokesman for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, seized on the GOP meeting Friday to argue it would result in "a Republican agenda written for lobbyists by lobbyists."
Repeating the theme that Democrats have stepped up this week about a return to Bush policies under a GOP-controlled Congress, Rudominer added, "Only if you think the financial crisis is an 'ant,' would you think it a good thing for the country, as House Republicans do, to put forward the George Bush agenda on steroids, where Wall Street reform would be repealed, jobs would be outsourced overseas, and the Bush tax cuts would be extended for the super rich without being paid for."
The meeting with business groups was originally scheduled to take place in Boehner's office in the Capitol, but after the Democratic National Committee launched attacks about a closed-door meeting with lobbyists, organizers moved it to a conference room in the Capitol Visitors Center.
Republicans did not allow media coverage of the meeting itself, but instead arranged for their own camera to stream the meeting live on the America Speaking Out website. The Sunlight Foundation, a non-profit watchdog group, also streamed the meeting live on its website.
Boehner's call to stop new government regulations comes a day after he called for the repeal of the financial reform bill just hours before it was approved by the Senate. The president is expected to sign the bill next week.

Ek Dham Yatra means visiting anyone among the Char Dhams i.e. Badrinath, Kedarnath, Gangotri or Yamunotri. Badrinath is the most visited Dham in the Ek Dham Yatra. Every year Badrinath receives the largest number of tourists.
Badrinath Yatra 2019: Badrinath is the most important place in Char Dham Yatra in India. Badrinath is the sacred place of Vishnu Bhagwan. Lord Vishnu is worshipped in the dual form of Nar Narayan. According to Skanda Puran, there are several sacred shrines in heaven, on earth and in hell but there is no shrine like Badrinath. It is believed that Badrinath yatra opens the door to attain moksha. Badrinath is one among the 108 Divya Deshams of Vaishnavities. One can take a dip at Tapt Kund in front of Badrinath temple. You can also visit Mata Murty temple, Bheem Pul, Vyas Gufa, Ganesh Gufa and Panch Prayag during Ek Dham Yatra. Badrinath yatra is considered as the most pious and important yatra for Hindus. Badrinath yatra opens for 06 to 07 months every year from April to Nov. The opening dates of Badrinath are announced on Vasant Panchami every year. Badrinath is accessible by road and vehicles go up to the main town. The duration of Badrinath yatra is 02 Nights/ 03 days from Haridwar.
We also arrange Badrinath yatra by helicopter from Dehradun. It is a day trip and the tour will end on the same day by afternoon.
Kedarnath yatra 2019: Kedarnath yatra is another important yatra in Ek Dham yatra. Kedarnath temple belongs to Lord Shiva and Kedarnath is one of the twelve Jyotirlinga of Lord Shiva. You get transformed to another world when the pandits begin the chanting of mantras. It feels like an unearthly experience, as though Lord Shiva Himself is present inside the Sanctum of the Temple. It is an experience that one must revel in at least once in their lifetime.
The motorable road goes up to Sonprayag which is 215km from Haridwar. After Sonprayag you have to hire a sharing jeep up to Gaurikund. Gaurikund to Kedarnath is 16 km by trek. The trek has all the facilities for tourists like tea snacks shops, toilets, resting shelters, medical facilities and SDRF personnel to help tourists.

Josh Broadway had a little home cooking in the Emerald Coast Tiur event this week. His 10 under par 206 was good enough to win the Wiregrass Construction Dothan Championship. Broadaway who lives in Dothan was the first round leader with a 68. He started the final round one stroke back of Tyler Ledet of Lafayette LA. The last round was quite a shootout as several players were in the mix. Ledet had a final round 70 to finish in a thre way tie for second at 208. He tied with Tom Lovelady of Birmingham and last years winner Nick Rousey. All three would win $2000 each. Broadaway's final round 67 overtook Ledet and had to fight off Lovelady and Rousey to win the event. The win is the second of the year for Broadaway who won at Stonebrook in the winter series earlier in the year.
The Pro Am was won by Tom Lovelady and Steve Scott, J R Dean and Mack Tomley.
Thanks to Wiregrass Construction and the Dothan CV B for their support of the event.


This recipe for Striped Pinwheels, by Bev Shepperd, is from From Nan's Kitchen, one of the cookbooks created at FamilyCookbookProject.com. We help families or individuals create heirloom cookbook treasures.
Mix all ingredients together except chocolate and combined, divide dough into two equal parts. To one half of dough mixture, add 3 squares of unsweetened chocolate, melted and mix together. Divide each mixture again (so you should have 2 white's and 2 chocolate's). Roll out on batch of the white dough in a small rectangle. Then roll out one of the chocolate batches and lay directly on top of the white dough, then roll into a log. Do the same with the other white and chocolate batch. You should have two logs. Wrap with Syran Wrap and put in the refrigerator overnight. The next day, remove dough logs from refrigerator and cut into 1/4 " slices and place on a cookie sheet.
Bake at 425º for 5 to 7 minutes, until white dough turns a light brown.


The Department of Health and Welfare's Women's Health Check Program provides free mammograms and pap tests for women with low incomes who cannot access these services because they either do not have insurance, or their insurance will not cover these screenings. When screenings identify cancer, Medicaid's Breast and Cervical Cancer Program is available to ensure these women receive the treatment they need.
Breast and Cervical Cancer Program participants are eligible for all Medicaid benefits listed in the Idaho Health Plan Coverage booklet during active treatment of their cancer. Participants may continue to receive Medicaid benefits including surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, and drug therapy until their physician determines that their cancer is in remission and only requires monitoring.

Q: SwiftUI Coredata MacOS App extremely slow after a bit of use I'm writing a SwiftUI app that frequently saves and retrieves data from Coredata. After using my app for a few minutes, or doing something that causes lots of Coredata saves, the app becomes extremely slow and never speeds back up. I don't really even know where to start in troubleshooting this...
This is my PersistenceController:
import CoreData

struct PersistenceController {
    static let shared = PersistenceController(inMemory: false)

    let container: NSPersistentContainer

    init(inMemory: Bool = false) {
        container = NSPersistentContainer(name: "Cubing_TimerApp")
        let storeURL = try! FileManager
                .default
                .url(for: .documentDirectory, in: .userDomainMask, appropriateFor: nil, create: true)
                .appendingPathComponent("Cubing_TimerApp.sqlite")
        let storeDescription = NSPersistentStoreDescription(url: storeURL)
        if inMemory {
            container.persistentStoreDescriptions.first!.url = URL(fileURLWithPath: "/dev/null")
        } else {
            container.persistentStoreDescriptions = [storeDescription]
        }
        container.loadPersistentStores(completionHandler: { (storeDescription, error) in
            if let error = error as NSError? {
                fatalError("Unresolved error \(error), \(error.userInfo)")
            }
        })

    }
}

This is an example of a function that might be saving to Coredata a lot:
func deleteSolve(_ solve: Solve) {
    viewContext.delete(solve)
    do {
        try viewContext.save()
    } catch {
        let nsError = error as NSError
        fatalError("Unresolved error \(nsError), \(nsError.userInfo)")
    }
}

I have 2 Coredata entities, Instance and Solve. Instance has a one-to-many relationship with solve.
I also have code that allows me to detect when the space key is pressed and released, which I figured might cause some slowness:
class KeyDetector: ObservableObject {
    @Published var spaceIsPressed: Bool = false
}

class KeyboardManager {
    static var isInitialized = false

    private static let keyDetector = KeyDetector()

    static var keyStates: [CGKeyCode: Bool] = [
        .kVK_Space: false,
    ]

    static public var initializer: KeyDetector {
        if isInitialized == false {
            pollKeyStates()
            isInitialized = true
        }

        return keyDetector
    }

    static func dispatchKeyDown(_ key: CGKeyCode)
    {
        if key == .kVK_Space {
            keyDetector.spaceIsPressed = true
        }
    }

    static func dispatchKeyUp(_ key: CGKeyCode) {
        if key == .kVK_Space {
            keyDetector.spaceIsPressed = false
        }
    }

    static func pollKeyStates() {
        for (code, wasPressed) in keyStates {
            if code.isPressed {
                if !wasPressed {
                    dispatchKeyDown(code)
                    keyStates[code] = true
                }
            } else if wasPressed {
                dispatchKeyUp(code)
                keyStates[code] = false
            }
        }

        DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + .milliseconds(25)) {
            pollKeyStates()
        }
    }
}

However, I tried disabling it and it was just about as slow.
Another thing that seems like it is causing some lag is a list of Coredata objects:
struct SolveList: View {
    @State var instance: Instance

    var body: some View {
        List {
            ForEach(instance.solveArray.reversed()) { solve in
                Text(String(solve.time))
            }
        }
        .id(UUID())
    }
}

Ideally it should be able to show hundreds/thousands of items, and it seemed like it was causing some more lag with about 100. However the app is still very slow when there are only a couple.
Unsurprisingly, CPU usage is pretty consistently at about 100%, almost all of which is from the main thread. I included the code which I thought was most relevant to the problem but I'm happy to share any of it in case what I put here isn't enough.
Anyways, any help figuring out what's going on or how to speed it up would be very appreciated, since I'm kind of at a standstill with progress on it now.
Thanks!

Zemplín is the name of an informal traditional region located in eastern Slovakia. It includes the Slovak part of the former Zemplén county, often including the Slovak part of the Ung county (Slovak: Užská župa/Užský komitát).

Geography
Zemplín region stretches from the Carpathian Mountains in the north to the lowest point in Slovakia at   AMSL. The region is situated in the easternmost part of Slovakia (except for the region between Vihorlatské vrchy and the Latorica river, if the former territory of Ung county isn't included). Rivers in the region include: Bodrog, Laborec, Latorica, Uzh, Ondava and a small part of the Tisza river.

Zemplín is no longer an administrative region, but is divided between two of the 21 official tourism regions, Lower Zemplín and Upper Zemplín. Administratively, the region is divided between Košice Region, which includes Trebišov and the western part of Michalovce District (if Ung county is included, eastern part of Michalovce and whole Sobrance District also belong to Zemplín), and Prešov Region, fully including Humenné, Snina and Medzilaborce districts and from bigger part including Vranov nad Topľou and Stropkov districts. Major towns include Michalovce, Trebišov and Humenné.

History
The region of Zemplín, administered from Zemplín Castle was already an administrative unit of Great Moravia in the 9th century CE. After its integration into the Kingdom of Hungary, it became known as the Zemplén county.

Between 1879 and 1901 over 32,000 persons emigrated from the Slovak districts of Semplin to the USA.

In 1918 the Slovak part of Zemplín became part of newly formed Czechoslovakia. The southern half (including the bigger part of the divided Sátoraljaújhely) stayed in Hungary as the county Zemplén.

During World War II, when Czechoslovakia was split temporarily, some of the Czechoslovak part of Zemplen county was occupied by Hungary under the First Vienna Award, and added to the counties Zemplén and Ung. After World War II, the pre-war border was restored, and the Hungarian county Zemplén merged with the county Borsod and the Hungarian part of Abov-Turňa to form the present Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén county. Since the separation of Czechoslovakia into Slovakia and the Czech Republic in 1993, the northern part of Zemplín is part of Slovakia, divided between eastern parts of Košice Region and Prešov Region.

Razer's new VR camera uses Intel tech—here's why it's a huge deal
BYJohn Gaudiosi
August 19, 2015, 9:17 PM UTC
At the Intel Developer Forum, Razer introduced a new prototype camera that uses Intel RealSense depth-sensing technology. Razer will release the VR camera, which has not yet been named, in Q1 2016.
This is the first public announcement about a consumer VR device that uses Intel technology, which Piper Jaffray senior research manager Gene Munster believes is a positive for the entire VR industry.
"There are smart people at Intel who are making bets on VR, which may be placeholder or may be something more substantive, but it helps the overall industry because as these smaller companies go to get financing and investors think about this technology, having Intel attached is another step in the credibility ladder," Munster says.
Munster also believes VR will be a driver of new PC sales, since new VR head-mounted displays like HTC Vive and Oculus Rift will require a lot of processing power.
Other analysts have similar thoughts about Intel's involvement in VR and AR. According to Tim Merel, managing director of Digi-Capital, "AR/VR's unique processing needs could be the next big market for Intel, Qualcomm, Nvidia, AMD and ARM."
"Intel has been playing a bigger role in VR, but not with the brand," Gartner analyst Brian Blau says. "They're supplying components for VR and AR systems. I've heard Intel chips are part of different vendor's head-mounted displays."
Blau notes that Intel and Razer do have competition in this market. Leap Motion has similar technology that has been available for a few years. And PrimeSense, which was acquired by Apple in November 2013, also has similar technology, although it has nothing currently available on the market today.
Intel (INTC) has also joined the Open Source VR (OSVR) platform, which includes founding member Razer. Ruben Mookerjee, vice president and general manager of Razer's peripherals business unit, hopes that by adding OSVR support for the RealSense camera, it will encourage developers to create VR games around its depth sensing technology.
Mookerjee says the Intel RealSense technology demonstrated at IDF shows how developers will be able to use the camera's 3D modeling capabilities to show an actual real-time model of a user's own hands in VR, instead of just an avatar. The camera will also have AR capabilities similar to the Microsoft HoloLens.

Гипервентиляция (от  — над, сверху +  — проветривание) — интенсивное дыхание, которое превышает потребности организма в кислороде. Различают гипервентиляцию как симптом заболевания и гипервентиляцию в дайвинге (контролируемую и неконтролируемую). Также на основе гипервентиляции существуют специальные дыхательные техники.

Физиология гипервентиляции

Дыхание осуществляет газообмен между внешней средой и альвеолярным воздухом, состав которого в нормальных условиях варьирует в узком диапазоне. При гипервентиляции содержание кислорода повышается (на 40-50% от исходного), но при дальнейшей гипервентиляции (около минуты и более) содержание CO2 в альвеолах значительно снижается, в результате чего уровень углекислоты в крови падает ниже нормального (такое состояние называется гипокапния). Гипокапния в легких при углубленном дыхании сдвигает pH в щелочную сторону, что изменяет активность ферментов и витаминов. Это изменение активности регуляторов обмена веществ нарушает нормальное протекание обменных процессов и ведет к гибели клеток. Для сохранения постоянства CO2 в легких имеются следующие механизмы защиты:
 спазмы бронхов и сосудов;
 увеличение продукции холестерина в печени как биологического изолятора, уплотняющего клеточные мембраны в легких и сосудах;
 снижение артериального давления (гипотония), тормозящее выведение СО2 из организма.
Но спазмы бронхов и сосудов уменьшают приток кислорода к клеткам мозга, сердца, почек и других органов.
Уменьшение СО2 в крови повышает связь кислорода и гемоглобина и затрудняет поступление кислорода в клетки (эффект Вериго — Бора). Уменьшение кислородного притока в ткани вызывает кислородное голодание тканей — гипоксию. Гипоксия в свою очередь приводит сначала к потере сознания, а потом к смерти тканей головного мозга.

Гипервентиляция во фридайвинге

Контролируемая гипервентиляция
Эффективное использование лёгких является первостепенным фактором во фридайвинге (погружениях на задержке дыхания). Для повышения запаса воздуха перед погружением используется контролируемая гипервентиляция — фридайвер делает один-два глубоких и быстрых вдоха-выдоха (ни в коем случае не допуская гипокапнии) и ныряет на вдохе. Излишняя гипервентиляция перед погружением может привести к потере сознания на малой глубине (и таким образом стать неконтролируемой).

Неконтролируемая гипервентиляция
Неконтролируемая гипервентиляция может происходить вследствие любой физической нагрузки и приводит к нежелательной гипоксии мозга. Так, это может быть при беге, езде на велосипеде, но особенно опасно при интенсивном плавании, поскольку в последнем случае потеря сознания приведёт к утоплению.

Профилактика потери сознания при гипервентиляции
Для большинства здоровых людей первыми признаками гипоксии являются предобморочное затуманивание или бессознательное состояние, состояние тревоги, отсутствие телесных ощущений, которые по неопытности могут быть замечены слишком поздно. Но при своевременном обнаружении симптомов достаточно прекратить плавание на поверхности воды, перевернуться на спину и задержать дыхание на вдохе, пока не произойдет накопление углекислоты в крови и тканях мозга.

Гипервентиляция как дыхательная техника
Использование дыхательных техник, основанных на гипервентиляции (таких как холотропное дыхание), позволяет входить в изменённое состояние сознания. Однако подобные методики предназначены для эпизодического использования.

Гипервентиляция как симптом заболевания

Возникает при тахипноэ (учащённом поверхностном дыхании) без уменьшения дыхательного объёма, при этом наступает увеличение минутного объёма дыхания и альвеолярной вентиляции. Различают хроническую (гипервентиляционный синдром) и временную гипервентиляцию. Существуют различные причины, вызывающие гипервентиляцию, в частности неврологические и психические расстройства. В большинстве случаев причиной становится нервное напряжение. Приступ может длиться часами, но обычная продолжительность приступа гипервентиляции составляет 20-30 минут. Одним из способов прервать подобный приступ (а иногда и предупредить его) может быть дыхание в бумажный пакет, что позволяет возместить выдохнутую больным двуокись углерода.

We were inspired by the catwalk in Madrid to be the perfect guest
Home| Events| We were inspired by the catwalk in Madrid to be the perfect guest
Jan, 2018 By admin
Events,News,Weddings
The great platform of Spanish design has given the kick-off to its 67th edition. Until next January 29, Madrid becomes the fashion capital with the celebration of parades, presentations and events, within the framework of the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Madrid (MBFWM), which are taking place in different parts of the capital.
Thus, the most outstanding designers of the moment, such as Juan Vidal, María Escoté, Pedro del Hierro, Oliva, Leandro Cano or Moisés Nieto, return to the pavilions of IFEMA (and other scenarios) to project their particular point of view, fruit of their creative talent and its capacity for innovation in its new proposals.
In these first days have taken place some of the most anticipated shows of the event, such as Pedro del Hierro, who celebrated his 30 years in the world of fashion with a parade the Railway Museum, the return of Roberto Verino or the show of one of the signatures 'made in Spain' with the most international impact, that of María Escoté, who was in charge of opening the parade calendar of the 67th edition of MBFWM.
A few catwalks that, in addition to becoming the best aperitif to celebrate the important creative moment that Spanish fashion is going through, are ahead of the trends that will soon invade the shop windows. And, just a few months before kicking off the official wedding season, Madrid Fashion Week is also postulated as the best catalog to gather the ideas with which to become the perfect guest.
And, now that the nuptial terrain is adapting to the needs of the generation and little remains of the classical and clonic wedding concept, the rules disappear and the possibilities are endless.


As ozone is a powerful oxidant it can react with a wide range of cellular components and biological materials, and may affect tissues of the respiratory tract or lung. The accumulated evidence on health effects is reviewed in WHO (1987) and WHO (1995). Most of the evidence on effects of ozone in concentrations common in the troposphere relates to short term (hours) exposures. Impacts in populations residing in areas where ozone levels are elevated for prolonged periods are more difficult to be detected and are still uncertain.
The relationship that is relatively best established and quantified is that of pulmonary function to ozone exposure (Rombout, 1997). Studies indicate that exposures to ozone concentrations in the range 160 - 360 µg.m-3 for a period of 1-8 hours reduces various pulmonary function parameters. Concentrations in the lower part of this range are often observed in Europe, whereas those in the upper part are detected only occasionally. After cessation of exposure, lung function returns to pre-exposure level. The ozone concentration and the dose rate (depending on the ventilation rate) are more important determinants of the effect than duration of exposure.
Impacts on incidence of respiratory symptoms (including cough, throat irritation, chest tightness) have also been reported at the same range of exposures as those affecting pulmonary function though the effects are rarely correlated on an individual basis. Ozone also induces inflammatory response in the lung. Epidemiological studies indicate that the rates of asthma attacks and medication usage increase on days with higher ozone concentrations. The rates of visits to hospital emergency rooms and hospital admissions for asthma and other respiratory conditions are also increased on such days.
10% increase in hospital admissions for respiratory conditions.
The above increases in risk of health effects assume linear relationships between the ozone concentrations and health effects in the range of concentration currently observed in ambient air. It must however be recognised that a great deal of uncertainty exists in respect to the shape of these relationships. It is likely that the health benefits of reduction of exposures to high concentrations are greater than the same absolute reduction of exposures in the lower concentration range.
A limited number of studies have analysed relations of short-term changes in mortality to ozone concentration. Anderson et al. (1996) reported a 3% increase in all cause mortality associated with a 50 µg.m-3 increase of 8-hour mean ozone in London, in the warm season. Similar association, also for a warm season only, is shown in a study in Barcelona (Sunyer et al., 1996). An analysis of mortality in the elderly during a hot summer in Belgium indicates that the observed relationship depends on the range of temperatures and can be seen mainly on hot days (Sator et al., 1997). Several other studies have not, however, confirmed these associations, especially after consideration of confounding effects of pollution with inhalable particles. Due to the lack of consistency between the studies and no agreement concerning causality of the observed associations, it was decided to omit possible effects of ozone on daily mortality rates in the analysis which is presented in further sections.
Although chronic exposure to ozone can cause effects, quantitative information from humans is inadequate to estimate the extent of impacts of long-term exposure.
All health outcomes which can follow exposure to ozone at the concentrations encountered in Europe are rather non-specific and, in most cases, are also caused by a variety of other causes than air pollution. Therefore, a direct determination of the magnitude of the pollution impact is not possible. However, the proportion of the cases which can be attributed to the pollution can be estimated on the basis of information on population exposure to the pollution and using information from epidemiological studies on exposure - response relationships.
For the present assessment, the 1995 data on 8-h average ozone concentrations collected in the framework of the European Council Directive (92/72/EEC) have been used. Unfortunately, according to the Directive, only the data from days with ozone concentration exceeding 110 µg.m-3 are collected, and the information on the frequency of days in lower concentration ranges was not available for this analysis. It has been assumed that each 'urban/street' monitoring location (400 sites) is spatially representative of a circle with a 10 km radius. Overall, some 11.7% of the 15 EU countries' population (ca. 41 million people) live within such circles. This proportion varies from 0.3% in France to 35.4% in Germany. Based on the population density in the circles, the 8-h average concentration data has been used to estimate the frequency distribution of person-days exceeding 110 µg.m-3 using 10 µg.m-3 ranges of O3 concentration. In the period March - October 1995, in all 15 countries, the 8-h average ozone concentration exceeded 110 and 120 µg.m-3 for 11.2% and 8.2% of person-days respectively. The level of 160 µg.m-3 was exceeded during 1.6% of person-days. Figure 20 illustrates an estimate of the frequency distribution of the percentage of person-days in certain concentration ranges in the summer of 1995 in the EU15 countries.
The EU wide ozone network being used in this assessment is composed from various national networks. Unfortunately, these national networks were not designed using homogeneous station siting criteria. Error! Reference source not found. and section 5.2 illustrate that some countries use a large fraction of 'kerb-side' street sites to monitor urban ozone. Due to local emissions suppressing ozone levels at these sites it is likely that the real level of population exposure is underestimated, in the south of Europe in particular. This, in turn, leads to underestimation of effects.
Figure 20: The distribution of person-days with 8-h average concentration ranges above 110 mg.m-3 in EU15 estimated over March-October 1995.
The exposure to ozone in concentrations observed in Europe may lead to a range of health effects. In a sensitive part of population, transient decrements of lung function and exacerbation of respiratory symptoms such as cough and wheezing can be expected. As mentioned in section 6.1, at least 10% decrement in lung function is expected to occur in 10% of the most sensitive subject on days with 8-hour mean concentrations exceeding 160 µg.m-3. According to the exposure estimates, 1.58% of person-days belonged to that range in March-October 1995 in the areas covered by ozone monitoring. Therefore, one can estimate that some 65 thousand cases could have occurred in the monitored areas, or more than 500,000 if the estimate is generalised to the whole population of the 15 EU countries. While the 10% transient decrement of FEV1 should not create problems for most people, the capacity for normal activities may be decreased in those subjects whose respiratory capacity has been already reduced due to age, disease or other factors.
In some cases, the symptoms may lead to use of medication or even to hospitalisation. The association between daily changes in the number of hospital admissions and concentration of ozone have been observed in a number of studies, including the APHEA study analysing data from five large European cities (Anderson et al., 1997). For the present analysis, the estimates of risk from that study have been used to calculate the proportion of hospital admissions attributable to ozone exposure. According to the definitions used by the APHEA study, we have considered emergency hospital admissions for bronchitis, emphysema and chronic airways obstruction. Although these admissions are not labelled as "emergency" in all countries, they are, in most cases, caused by symptoms requiring immediate medical assistance.
Based on the estimated exposure distribution and relative risk estimates from the APHEA study, we calculated that 0.3% (3 in 1000) of the admissions could be attributed to the ozone exposure exceeding 110 µg.m-3 in all 15 EU countries. More than 80% of the excess cases could be attributed to ozone concentrations in the range of 110-170 µg.m-3 (Figure 21). The proportion of admissions attributed to the ozone exposure was estimated to be highest in Belgium, France and Greece, where it exceeded 0.5% of the admissions (Figure 22).
To estimate the absolute number of admissions attributable to ozone exposure, it is necessary to assume the average frequency of hospitalisation in the population. Hospital admission is used here as an index of deterioration in health requiring medical treatment. The need to use this form of assistance in case of acute respiratory symptoms depends on the system of medical services and medication use practices. This may vary between populations and, certainly, between countries. Therefore, the underlying rates of emergency hospital admissions may vary substantially. However, such data is not readily available for all countries considered and, for the present analysis, we used the frequency observed in London (20 cases per day in a 7.3 million population, i.e. 2.74 admissions per million per day).
In all populations covered by ozone monitoring (i.e. living within 10 km circles around the monitoring locations), the number of additional hospital admissions attributable to ozone exposure in concentrations exceeding 110 µg.m-3 is estimated to be just over 80 cases in all 15 EU countries, in the period March - October 1995. Most of the attributable cases would have been registered in Germany where the greatest number of people has been covered by O3 monitoring. If it is assumed that the exposure situation around the monitors represents the overall distribution of exposure in the country, the estimates for the monitored populations can be extrapolated to all country population, and to all 15 EU countries. Such extrapolation indicates that almost 700 hospital admissions could have been attributed to the ozone in concentrations exceeding 110 µg.m-3 in all 15 EU countries in the period March - October 1995. More than 75% of all those additional cases would have occurred in three countries: France, Italy and Germany.
The available data from ozone concentration monitoring allow to estimate the effects of the exceedance of 110 µg.m-3. However, epidemiological studies have registered an increment in the frequency of hospital admissions with ozone concentrations well below this level. Similar observations were made by the APHEA study (Ponce de Leon, 1996). Therefore, it can be assumed that the real impact of the pollution is greater than that estimated above. A conservative estimate, based on typical distribution of ozone concentrations, assuming that for 20-40% person-days ozone concentration was in the range 60-110 µg.m-3, suggests that the proportion of hospital admissions attributable to ozone concentration over 60 µg/m3 can reach 1.5% of all admissions (i.e. amount to 400 admissions in the populations covered by the monitoring, or to more than 3000 admissions in all population of 15 EU countries).
There are several uncertainties in the above estimates. Probably the most reliable estimates are the attributable proportions when applied to the populations living in areas surrounding the monitors providing ozone concentration data. The APHEA study, the source of relative risk estimates, has analysed data from five different cities, and the combined estimate should reflect average exposure - response association in other populations than those considered in the present analysis. The tables and graphs presented indicate the magnitude of possible error related to the uncertainty of the relative risk estimate obtained by the APHEA study. Considering this, the proportion of hospital admission attributable to ozone in concentration over 110 µg/m3 should be in the range from 0.15% to 0.45%. However, the uncertainty concerning the exposure pattern within the (arbitrarily selected) 10 km circle around the monitoring station is not reflected in the present calculations. If the number of person-days with ozone concentrations over 110 µg/m3 (at each concentration category) is twice as big as the number estimated above, the attributable proportion would double as well.
A further important limitation of this analysis is the fact that a large part of the air quality data has been obtained from 'kerb-side' street sites. This data may provide very inaccurate estimates for the quality of air that people breathe and severely underestimate real level of exposure to ozone. Secondly, the extrapolation of the exposure distribution from the populations living close to the monitors to the whole country is an uncertain step. It is unlikely that the scarce monitoring data represents the total population exposure. There are also other errors of estimation. Therefore interpretation of data for individual countries must be done with caution, especially for these countries with small proportions of population covered by air quality monitoring.
Transient decrements in lung function and increases in hospital admission rates are the health outcomes for which the associations with exposure to ozone in concentrations observed in Europe are relatively the best established and quantified. Therefore the estimation of the magnitude of the impacts was possible, and performed, in this analysis. Other health effects, such as respiratory symptoms or short term changes in mortality rates could also result from ozone exposure in the period analysed but the information necessary for the estimation of effect is not sufficient for the quantification of the impacts.

Thermodynamics PROPERTY DIAGRAMS AND STEAM TABLES PROPERTY DIAGRAMS AND STEAM TABLES Property diagrams and steam tables are used in studying the theoretical and actual properties and efficiencies of a given system. EO 1.16 Given a Mollier diagram and sufficient information to indicate the state of the fluid, DETERMINE any unknown properties for the fluid. EO 1.17 Given a set of steam tables and sufficient information to indicate the state of the fluid, DETERMINE any unknown properties for the fluid. EO 1.18 DETERMINE the change in the enthalpy of a fluid as it passes through a system component, given the state of the fluid at the inlet and outlet of the component and either steam tables or a Mollier diagram. Property Diagrams The phases of a substance and the relationships between its properties are most commonly shown on property diagrams. A large number of different properties have been defined, and there are some dependencies between properties. For example, at standard atmospheric pressure and temperature above 212°F, water exists as steam and not a liquid; it exists as a liquid at temperatures between 32°F and 212°F; and, it exists as ice at temperatures below 32°F. In addition, the properties of ice, water, and steam are related. Saturated steam at 212°F and standard atmospheric pressure has a specific volume of 26.8 ft3/lbm. At any other temperature and pressure, saturated steam has a different specific volume. For example, at 544°F and 1000 psia pressure, its specific volume is 0.488 ft3/lbm. There are five basic properties of a substance that are usually shown on property diagrams. These are: pressure (P), temperature (T), specific volume (n), specific enthalpy (h), and specific entropy (s). When a mixture of two phases, such as water and steam, is involved, a sixth property, quality (x), is also used. There are six different types of commonly encountered property diagrams. These are: Pressure- Temperature (P-T) diagrams, Pressure-Specific Volume (P-n) diagrams, Pressure-Enthalpy (P-h) diagrams, Enthalpy-Temperature (h-T) diagrams, Temperature-entropy (T-s) diagrams, and Enthalpy-Entropy (h-s) or Mollier diagrams.

Fighting Fascism
Fighting Fascism: Federalism For Peace
Hitler Transforms the German Workers Party
In September of 1919, just months after the fall of the Bavarian Soviet Republic, Corporal Hitler was ordered to investigate a small group in Munich known as the German Workers Party. As a result of the recently crushed communist rebellion, the German army was very focused on preventing the growth of Marxism in Germany.
A worker-led, national socialist political party
Dressed as a civilian, Hitler went to a party meeting, held in the back room of a Munich beer hall, on September 12, 1919. With about 25 other people, he listened to an economic speech by Gottfried Feder entitled, "How and by what means is capitalism to be eliminated." As the speech concluded, he got up to leave when another attendee spoke out in favor of Bavaria seceding from Germany and joining Austria to form a south German nation. Angered, Hitler spoke out, uninterrupted for about fifteen minutes, against the man and his proposal. This was the first time anyone had noticed the future Fuhrer's speaking ability, and he captured the attention of Anton Drexler, one of the party's founders and its de-facto leader. As the Hitler concluded, Drexler rushed over to give him a pamphlet, he had written, entitled "My Political Awakening." He urged his new acquaintance to read it and to come to another meeting.
Sitting in his army barracks, the next morning, Adolph Hitler did read Drexler's pamphlet and was pleased to find a political philosophy similar to his own... the building of a worker-led, national socialist political party for the German people. But, he was hesitant to join the group recalling, in Mein Kampf, that "aside from a few directives, there was nothing, no program, no leaflet, no printed matter at all, no membership cards, not event a miserable stamp...." He also saw, though, the infant party as a blank canvas that, as Drexler said, could become a movement.
"This absurd little organization with its few members seemed to me to possess the one advantage that it had not frozen into an 'organization,' but left the individual opportunity for real personal activity. Here it was still possible to work, and the smaller the movement, the more readily it could be put into proper form. Here, the content, the goal, and the road could still be determined."
Continued Influence of Socialist Ideology
Deciding the content and the party's path is what Hitler did. Assuming a leadership role, he took charge of the GWP's propaganda efforts, and on February 24, 1920, he presented the party's Twenty Five Points platform. Within its contents, we can see the continued influence of socialist ideology on the young Adolph Hitler. Below are planks of the platform that reveal some of the party's goals and, as co-author, those of Hitler as well.
"We demand the State shall above all undertake to ensure that every citizen shall have the possibility of living decently and earning a livelihood."
"We wage war against the corrupt parliamentary administration...."
"No individual shall do any work that offends against the interest of the community to the benefit of all."
