Middle England speaks. The Left must move out of its dream world
After last week's earthquake it is tempting firstly to debate party strategy for the Liberal Democrats, and then to gloat a bit over Labour's ineptitude. But such an inward focus on the political left and centre-left is one of the reasons why these parties got into such trouble. I want to think about that key group of voters that I will call Middle England. These are the voters that plumped for the Conservatives, and won them the election.
What I will develop is a bit of an archetype. It is not based on scientific evidence – though anecdotal evidence from the campaign trail forms part of the picture. What I am creating therefore is a bit of a myth. But I think it will help to think about politics in a different way – and the validity of any new thinking that flows from it can then be tested to proper evidence in due course.
The Middle England voter is predominantly suburban and middle class, but includes much of the established working class too – by which I do not mean those struggling on the margins of poverty and state benefits, which is what some seem to understand by the term "working class". These voters exist in large stretches of Wales as well as England. I read that Scottish voters are much more similar to English ones than is popularly realised – so similar voters must exist north of the border too in large numbers too. But their voting behaviour was different, and should be considered on a different occasion.
What do we know about such voters?
The Tory brand is not toxic to them. This makes them stand apart from most of the urban middle classes with whom I associate, and the more tribal working classes. Middle England does not regard itself as dependent on the state, and its sense of wellbeing is affected by taxes. This gives the Conservatives an opening, and make Middle England voters particularly suspicious of parties that are profligate with state spending.
But they are open to voting for other parties. This makes them a critical political group – they are swing voters. They voted for Tony Blair's New Labour; large numbers voted Liberal Democrat between 1997 and 2010. Ukip has fished in these waters too. They like great British institutions like the NHS, state schools and the old age pension. They accept that they must pay taxes to fund these things. They are distrustful of the political and business elites.
They mainly work in the private sector. This is perhaps the critical point, and one that separates them from the modern political class – who build their careers within, or on the margins of, government and the public sector. Middle England voters are used to the rough world of competitive markets and to the disciplines that flow from it, such as constant performance appraisal and being forced to rethink the way you work. They face many insecurities, and their life depends on the health of the economy – but they do not think that these things depend on government spending and regulation, in the way that much of the political class seems to.
It would be easy to build up this characterisation further, and speculate on property ownership, newspaper readership and other things. But I think that this is enough for now.
What seems to have happened is this: Middle England largely backed Mrs Thatcher's Conservatives in the 1980s, but deserted her as her government seemed bent on taking apart precious British institutions. In 1992 they were persuaded to stick with the Conservatives under John Major, in a campaign with a striking similarity to this year's. But Tony Blair offered them what they were looking for, and they switched en masse for his party in 1997. In many parts of the country they favoured the Lib Dems, as being a sensible party of the political centre. In 2010 Gordon Brown's Labour lost them. The economic crash of 2008 swept away Labour's reputation for economic competence and strong management of the state's finances. And they were getting grumpy over the government's tendency to nag and nanny them. But by and large they stuck with the Lib Dems. And Middle England does not appear to have been too upset with the coalition that followed – though doubts grew about the junior party.
This year the Conservatives secured the Middle England vote in a ruthless campaign that reached under the media's radar. The Lib Dems were already weakened by the loss of votes to Labour (the party's other key constituency of left wing sympathisers disillusioned with New Labour), and their seeming irrelevance in seats outside their areas of strength. Middle England voters in areas of Lib Dem strength were the main focus of the Conservative campaign. Their weapon was fear of a Labour government, particularly one dependent on the SNP – who were seen as being after English taxpayers' money.
Labour played into Tory hands. They made no serious attempt to recover the Middle England vote. They didn't think they needed it. Their appeal was to public sector dependants, younger idealists fired up by ideas of "social justice", and poorer people in urban areas affected by benefit reforms (especially here in London). All they needed to do, they thought, was to hang on to their core support and sweep up defectors from the Lib Dems. Labour took some care not to appear profligate, and claimed that their plans could be financed by cheap borrowing and taxes on people too rich to be considered Middle England. They assumed that everybody knew that "austerity" had failed. But this sounded suspiciously like empty political words. It was particularly damaging when Ed Miliband refused to seriously criticise Labour's previous economic record, notably on the Question Time TV show. It didn't help Labour that the SNP's Nicola Sturgeon banged on about fighting austerity at every opportunity. "Austerity" is a bit of a political class jargon, but the public soon started to understand that it was synonymous with what they understood as prudent financial management.
Labour and the Lib Dems clearly also hoped that the Tories would be fatally wounded by the rise of Ukip. But where it mattered the same ruthless Tory campaign was able to limit the damage here. So the Tories swept away the Lib Dems and contained any Labour advance in England and Wales.
Now Labour and the Lib Dems must confront the damage done. They can't rely on a Tory implosion over the next five years – though that is a possibility. Unless they can reduce the fears of Middle England neither party will win back power. Labour leadership candidates at least seem to understand this. But whether they can drag along their activists and trade union supporters in a single parliament remains open to question. I will return to the Labour predicament in a future blog.
The problem for the Lib Dems looks even worse. Their electoral strategy of local do-gooding and scooping up tactical votes is incompatible with coalition government, and a core values appeal does not look able to secure anything like enough votes in enough constituencies. I will blog about that in future too.
But what we need to contemplate is a complete change to the political landscape. The idea of a natural "progressive" (or left-leaning) majority in England is well and truly dead. If you add Ukip's vote to the Conservative one in England you get 55%. To appeal to these voters you cannot throw public money at all your favourite causes, bang on about about "social justice", or whinge about austerity. The left has been living in a dream world for the last five years, and ignoring the worries of Middle England.
But all is not lost. The Conservatives won't have it easy either. Their tendency to attack sacred British institutions remains. By all accounts many of their voters are reluctant ones. What politicians of the left must recognise is that this is the key electoral battleground – and not the politics of protest and chatter amongst people who share your own outlook. Long live democracy!

Jonathan Pile says:
So we lost because we weren't Tory enough ? – That's the wrong conclusion and the reason for our defeat.
Not at all Jonathan. We lost because our voters feared that Labour wasn't Tory enough, and that the SNP would make matters worse. And, of course, we are just as dependent on left leaning voters as on Middle England ones. We ended up with neither. But what I am saying is that simply reaffirming the party's left leaning roots will not be enough to secure the party's return.

This is a quick little project i did one night after work!
I was itching to solder something, so here it is! My cure for boredom!
Step 1: Take It Apart!
Do the same with the 3 wires connecting to the motor.
Now take it apart completely, all the gears should pop out pretty easily, remove the motor and the small circuit board connected to the potentiometer.
If you want to keep the small circuit board & POT, go for it, but otherwise, throw 'em out, we won't be putting them back in the motor!
The motor should be attached by two small screws. DONT LOSE THEM!
A servo is only made to rotate a certain degree range, we have to change that.
Put the big gear that attaches to the servo horn in a clamp or vice.
Take your x-acto knife and remove the stop tab.
In this particular servo two of the teeth of the gear are filled in, simply cut the teeth out with the x-acto knife!
Now solder your own wires or connectors to the small motor & screw it back in place!
Your ready to put it all back together, simply put your modified gears back as they were.
Put the four screws back in the case & run your wires out where the old ones were!
Now you can use this anywhere you need!, without a servo tester or tx/rx system! In my opinion it has a great ratio between power and speed (of course this may vary between servo models) but overall this thing rocks!
Hope you enjoyed my Instructable!
Or you can leave the electronics in, but cut the arm of the potentiometer.
Then you can control it like you would a normal servo, and use it as a motor without needing to make an H-bridge.
I have to agree with sdfgeoff.. You needn't go as far as massive rework, when the majority of the work is already built-in.. Just a matter of minor modification to the main drive gear to remove any kind of 'stop' tab, and removing the potentiometer, and replacing it with a pair of 2.2K resistors in a "W" (or "M ") wiring, connecting the two resistors in series, connecting the free ends to the outer-connections for the pot, and the center of the two, to the wiper connection on the servo board. Then, simply sending a PWM train signal to the Signal pin of the servo, and simply supplying 4.5-6V to the servo power pins. Unless you really want to go as far as the H-Bridge, and have direct control of the servo motor.. Just seems a lot of extra effort to rebuild the mouse-trap, so to speak.
It just depends what use you have in mind.
Some mirocontrollers may not be able to output a pulse necessary to drive the servo without stopping all other processing (the old basic stamps had this problem I think), and so it is then better to use an H-bridge.
That is a great suggestion!
In this instance i just wanted it to be as bare bones as i could make it, and its less work to just pull it out!

This sawfish was caught using standup paddleboards in the back areas of small islands where the water depths are less than 1 foot. Credit: NOAA Fisheries.
Where did you grow up?
I grew up in Branford, Connecticut.
Where did you go to school and what subject did you get your degree(s) in?
I received my bachelor's and master's degree from Southern Connecticut State University and my Ph.D. at the University of Mississippi. All of my degrees are in biology.
How did you come to work at the Southeast Fisheries Science Center?
I started off as a cooperative student while working on my Ph.D. At the time I was finishing my degree, the Southeast Fisheries Science Center was starting to build a shark research team and I was subsequently hired on. Timing sometimes is everything.

These tags provide daily location information as part of a collaborative project to determine movements of sharks throughout the Bahamas and off the U.S. southeast coast. Credit: NOAA Fisheries.
What do you do at the science center?
I focus on biological and analytical work relating to population dynamics and life history of sharks. A major portion of my current research, which I've been working on for over the last 10 years, has been directed toward supporting recovery of endangered elasmobranchs—sharks, rays, and skates.
What do you like most about your position?
Its diversity. I work on a host of research questions and issues. I can be in the Bahamas one week satellite tagging oceanic whitetip sharks, to the Everglades examining habitat use of smalltooth sawfish, or free diving and tagging manta rays off Florida. My position also involves analytical work determining abundance trends of sharks, how old sharks live to be, and how often they give birth, and what level sharks are caught and released in commercial fisheries. All of these elements are needed to determine the status of shark populations.
What do you like to do outside of work?
When I'm not working, I enjoy surfing, paddle boarding, tennis, scuba diving, fishing, hunting, and backpacking.
Thanks Dr. Carlson! We have added a few of your recent web stories to provide quick links for us to share more about your work.

Q: positioning entries on a timeline Hello I have calender/schedule in an app that looks similar to this very basic example,

| Jan | Feb | Mar | Apr | Jun | Jul | Aug | Sep | Oct | Nov | Dec |

Project #1 (Runs from start of Jan to mid March)     ...............
            Project #2 (Runs from mid march to early september)
            ..............................

The dots under the project title illustrate the length of the project, what I am struggling with is giving the entry the correct value of left margin to push the project to the correct start date.
The figures I have available to me are:

*

*Number of days the projects run,

*Number of days between the 01/01/2014 and the first days of the project.

*Total number of days in the calendar (the calendar runs Jan 2014 - Dec 2019).

*Width of the container holding the calendar.

I thought it would be something like this:
var remainder = number_of_days_in_calendar - this.model.get('num_days_from_year_start');
var decimal = remainder / number_of_days_in_calendar;
var marginLeft = decimal * 100 + "%";

But this returns percentages far too close together there is barely any difference between, Jan and August.
I have worked out the project length successful using this sum,
var width = (parseInt(this.model.get('run_number_days')) / number_of_days_in_calendar) * 100;
this.$el.width(width + "%");

But nothing similar works for positioning the projects.

A: Calculate the margin based on the total width of the calendar on screen.
width = calendar width in pixels * decimal

If I understand correctly decimal in your calculation is the percentage of days before the project start to the total number of days in the calendar.

A: Let's say we have these values
number_of_days_in_calendar = 365
day_when_project_started = 91
container_width = 365px

this is how we could calculate the position of left margin
((91 / 365) * 100) * (365px / 365) = margin-left: 24.93%

If the container is, for instance 730px wide, according to the formula above, the final result would be margin-left: 49.86%;

Q: When a class is inherited from List<>, XmlSerializer doesn't serialize other attributes I'm having a situation here, I need my class to be inherited from List<ItemType>, but when I do this XmlSerializer does not serialize any property or field declared in my class, the following sample demonstrates:
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
    public Form1()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        DoSerialize();
    }
    private void DoSerialize()
    {
        MyClass obj = new MyClass();
        obj.Add(1);
        obj.Add(2);
        obj.Add(3);
        XmlSerializer s = new XmlSerializer(typeof(MyClass));
        StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
        s.Serialize(sw, obj);
    }
}
[Serializable]
[XmlRoot]
public class MyClass : List<int>
{
    public MyClass()
    {
    }
    int myAttribute = 2011;
    [XmlAttribute]
    public int MyAttribute
    {
        get
        {
            return myAttribute;
        }
        set
        {
            myAttribute = value;
        }
    }
}

the resulting XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<ArrayOfInt xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
  <int>1</int>
  <int>2</int>
  <int>3</int>
</ArrayOfInt>

A: Here's a though for you to consider.
You can have a class that is a container class like this:
class ContainerObject
{
     public int MyNewProperty { get; set; }

     [XmlElement("")]
     public List<int> MyList { get; set; }
}

The trick is to have XmlElement name  = "" above the List element.
When this is serialized into xml, you will have:
<ContainerObject>
   <MyNewProperty>...</MyNewProperty>

   <int>...</int>
   <int>...</int>

</ContainerObject>

If you like, you can also create another class for items in a list
 class MyItem
 {
     public int MyProperty {get;set;}

 }

and then instead of having List of ints, have a List of MyItems.
This was you control XmlElement name of every item in a list.
I hope this was helpful.

A: This is by design. I don't know why this decision was made, but it is stated in the documentation:

*

*Classes that implement ICollection or IEnumerable. Only collections are
  serialized, not public properties.

(Look under "Items that can be serialized" section). Someone has filed a bug against this, but it won't be changed - here, Microsoft also confirms that not including the properties for classes implementing ICollection is in fact the behaviour of XmlSerializer.
A workaround would be to either:

*

*Implement IXmlSerializable and control serialization yourself.

or

*

*Change MyClass so it has a public property of type List (and don't subclass it).

or

*

*Use DataContractSerializer, which handles this scenario.

BOSTON — Massachusetts lawmakers debated on a bill Thursday that would allow Gov. Deval Patrick to name an interim appointment to the U.S. Senate seat left vacant by the death of Sen. Edward M. Kennedy last month.
Massachusetts House Speaker Robert DeLeo said he believed there were enough votes to pass the bill in the 160-member House. He said the change in law is needed to ensure that Massachusetts continues to be represented by two senators until voters can choose a replacement during a Jan. 19 special election.
"I just want to make sure that Massachusetts has a say … that Massachusetts has their voice heard on health care, on the environment, on clean energy," said Mr. DeLeo, a Democrat.
Mr. Patrick, a Democrat and ally of President Obama, also supports the change.
The bill would require the appointee be from the same party as the person who created the vacancy, a Democrat in the case of Mr. Kennedy's successor.
Republicans, who number just 16 in the House, opposed the bill.
State Rep. Michael Moran, chairman of the House Committee on Election Laws, said lawmakers shouldn't be handcuffed by past votes if they are not in the best interest of the state.
"I ask you to focus on the needs of Massachusetts not in 2004, but in 2009," said Mr. Moran, Boston Democrat.
Other Democratic lawmakers conceded a political motive in the vote, saying they wanted to protect Mr. Kennedy's legacy, including his signature issue of expanded health care.
"Some people say it's political. Of course it's political," said state Rep. Cory Atkins, a Concord Democrat and Kennedy supporter.
The debate is being followed closely in Washington, where Democrats hope to regain a 60-vote, filibuster-proof margin in the U.S. Senate ahead of any debate on Mr. Obama's health care overhaul.
Mr. Kerry; U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Nevada Democrat; and the state's all-Democratic congressional delegations also back the change, saying they need all the votes they can to support the health care change.
Obama presidential counselor David Axelrod has contacted Massachusetts officials, according to White House press secretary Robert Gibbs. The Massachusetts branch of Mr. Obama's political arm, Organizing for America, has sent out e-mails advocating for the change.
Mr. DeLeo said lawmakers wanted to bar any appointee from also running as a candidate in the special election, but said they could not constitutionally include that provision in the bill.
Mr. DeLeo said House lawmakers instead hoped to pass a separate resolution stating that it is the intention of the House that an appointee not also be a candidate in the special election.
Mr. Patrick has said he would extract from the appointee a promise not to be a candidate in the special election.
The bill also could surface in the Massachusetts Senate on Thursday. State Senate President Therese Murray, a Democrat, has been more tight-lipped about the bill's chances in that chamber.
State Senate Republican leader Richard Tisei has said he'll object to the Senate taking up the bill. Senate rules require unanimous consent to debate a bill not already on the calendar, and the succession bill wasn't listed for Thursday's session.
An objection would delay it until the Senate's next formal session. There is none scheduled for Friday. Mr. Tisei could use other parliamentary moves to delay a vote for additional days.
"I will not allow it to come up," Mr. Tisei said.
Those said to be under consideration for an interim appointment include former Gov. Michael Dukakis, former Democratic National Committee Chairman Paul Kirk Jr., former Massachusetts Senate President Robert Travaglini, former Kennedy staff chief Nick Littlefield, Harvard Law School Professor Charles Ogletree and former state Treasurer Shannon O'Brien.
The change appears to have the backing of a majority of voters.
A WHDH-TV/Suffolk University poll found 55 percent of Massachusetts voters support changing the law to allow interim senator, with 41 percent opposed. The poll of 500 registered voters was conducted Sept. 12-15 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 4.4 percentage points.
Mr. Kennedy died Aug. 25 of brain cancer.


This dip is so wonderfully fresh and flavourful. It makes an exciting alternative to hummus or guacamole, and is perfect served with pita strips or tortilla chips. It's also great for lunch spread on top of crusty bread.
Blend together the defrosted peas, onion, garlic, and mint or basil leaves, using either a hand blender or a food processor, until there are only a few whole peas left.
Stir in the olive oil, nutritional yeast, chilli, cumin, coriander, lime juice, salt, and pepper.
Spoon into a serving bowl, and serve with pita strips or tortilla chips for dipping.
*Other than the peas, pretty much all of the ingredients are optional, so feel free to leave anything out according to your taste or for convenience. For example, I don't like raw onion, so I tend to leave it out when I'm making this for myself.
The main bulk of this dip is frozen peas, which are fairly cheap.
Healthy. Peas are very nutritious. They contain protein and fibre, as well as various vitamins and minerals. They may even be effective at reducing the risk of cardiovascular and metabolic disease.
Delicious! Guests love this dip and always ask for the recipe.

Protect Flushing, No Casino!
Steve Cohen, billionaire hedge fund manager and owner of the NY Mets, wants to build a casino next to Citi Field as part of a massive private development on city-owned parkland. Cohen has invested millions of dollars in campaign contributions and lobbying City and State officials. He's hired pricey consultants to promote a racist project that targets the nearby Asian community in Flushing and takes away 50 acres of our public parkland.
Gambling is a real problem for many in Flushing that construction of a nearby casino will only make worse. The harmful impacts of gambling on communities are well-documented and devastating, leading to financial ruin and debt, and breaking up families. A casino would only further siphon more resources out of our community. Despite this, Cohen is seeking a casino license that would exploit our vulnerable working families, target Asians and endanger the health and safety of Queens.
Cohen's proposed casino is part of a massive, city and state-promoted redevelopment project on 140 acres of land stretching across Flushing, Willets Point and the Citi Field parking lots that would exacerbate the displacement crisis in Flushing and across Queens. For more than a decade, one huge luxury development after another has been built, driving up rents and real estate taxes. Many Flushing residents and small businesses can only afford to stay here if they double up, splitting already crowded spaces, while those who own their property are squeezed by rising taxes.
Taking away 50 acres of public parkland in the middle of multiple communities of color is environmental racism and sets a precedent that will hurt all communities. Our communities need public parkland, especially in the context of a 140-acre mega development. Instead of lobbying the State government to privatize precious parkland so that he can profit, Cohen could use his wealth to improve the park, turning it into a green public space that reduces flood risk. Our Queens communities deserve no less.
In response to the rampant, unregulated development of the area, displacement of our community, destruction of our livelihoods, complete disregard for our public space and unwillingness to restore nature-based flood protections, our community proposes a Special District plan.

How to Become an IPTV Reseller

IPTV, or Internet protocol television, is a new step in the development of telecommunications that takes television beyond the constraints of radio signals and conventional cable connections. Depending upon the service to which they subscribe, IPTV users can watch live television or video on demand. The onset of this new technology provides an opportunity for entrepreneurs to become qualified resellers, standing as intermediaries between IPTV service providers and end users.
Set up a legal entity. This might be as simple as an assumed name or DBA -- "doing business as" -- or it might be a partnership, corporation or LLC. Choose a name for your business, and apply it to the legal entity you form. This name should serve as a marketing tool for you, identifying your business as one that deals with IPTV or telecommunications.
Contact IPTV service providers. Most providers are constantly on the lookout for resellers to help them expand their operations. Visit company websites and fill out the necessary forms regarding your company and personal information.
Set up a sales office. Because IPTV reselling is mostly a direct-sales industry, your sales office does not necessarily need to serve as a point of contact with prospective clients. Rather, it should be a hub of activity for your sales team. If you are just starting out as an independent sales firm, you might not have any employees, in which case you should be able to operate from home in the beginning.
Educate yourself by reading the service provider's materials. The IPTV service provider under which you work might have various levels for which resellers can qualify. Getting to a higher level can mean higher revenue streams, but you might have to learn new skills to do so. Your service provider might also help you by providing marketing support. Become familiar with the provider's marketing support tools.
If you are planning to hire employees, apply for an employer identification number through the Internal Revenue Service. If not, a Social Security number should suffice.

FIA F3: Challenging first race for Floersch in Barcelona
With the FIA F3 paddock moving to Barcelona for yet another back-to-back weekend, Sophia Floersch endured a challenging first race in Spain, finishing P27.
Photo credits: Formula Motorsport Ltd
Formula 1 has hit the track again for its third back-to-back weekend in a row - this time on the Barcelona Montmeló circuit - and with it, the FIA Formula 3 championship also made its on-track return.
Sophia Floersch had just completed a positive second race at Silverstone when, despite a difficult qualifying, she was able to gain 9 positions and finish in P20 in her first trouble-free race of the season. The young German had in fact battled braking issues on her Campos Racing Dallara F3 car, which were seemingly fixed on Sunday morning.
"Mixed feelings" - she commented after last week's results. "Race pace was pretty good and we were fighting quite a lot gaining positions over the weekend."
"Quali is still the issue and we just need to have the luck on our side for once."
"Love the championship and all the battles happening there." - she added on her instagram before heading to Barcelona, one of her favourite tracks on the FIA F3 calendar - and where she scored a top-five finish last year in the Formula Regional European Championship.
"Race pace is improving every time, just quali needs to be better which is more about having luck."
Unfortunately, the Spanish weekend didn't start in the best possible way for Floersch, who was down to P29 in Friday's practice session, as she could not improve on her last set of new tyres following an accident at Turn 4 by her Campos teammate Alessio Deledda that brought out the red flag.
Under scorching temperatures at the Catalan circuit, the afternoon's qualifying session unfortunately brought the same result for the driver of the #31 car: with such a tight and competitive field in the 2020 FIA Formula 3 championship, 23 cars finished within a second and - on a notoriously difficult track to pass - Floersch's P29 meant another uphill battle for the talented 19-year old from Munich.
Championship leader Logan Sargeant locked another pole position and started the first race alongside HWA's Jake Hughes. Liam Lawson shared second row with Oscar Piastri, as the championship contenders in this first half of the season were divided by less than two tenths of a second.
When the lights went out, it was a clean start for the front row of the grid and Sargeant maintained the lead over Hughes and Lawson. Piastri was down to fifth, while Sebastian Fernandez was slow off the line and lost six positions, dropping to eleventh.
The first Safety Car was deployed when Bent Viscaal went off into the gravel and the race was neutralized to allow the marshals to recover th stricken MP Motorsport car.
On lap 3, Piastri could move back up into third as he passed Clement Novalak at La Caixa. The race continued with the whole field bunched up until Alessio Deledda spun at the final chicane. The battle for the lead then heated up: Jake Hughes closed in on Sargeant and completed a great move at Turn 1. The Brit was quickly out of DRS range and the Prema rival was told to push in order not to drop further back.
On the other hand, there were very few passes in the midfield and drivers followed each other closely for most of the race. Sophia Floersch, P28 after the start, managed to pass Federico Malvestiti and Igor Fraga - advancing to 26th. In the first half of the race, her pace proved once again competitive enough for a top-20 finish, but then her lap times went dramatically up, as the German likely struggled with tyre wear by following the other cars for so many laps.
The Safety Car made another appearance on lap 7, when Frederick Vesti's car came to a stop at the exit of Turn 4.
At the restart, Hughes was unchallenged by Sargeant, who never seemed able to equal the Brit's race pace. Behind them, Oscar Piastri made a mistake at the last corner and was off line as the field was back up to speed. The Australian was overtaken by Novalak and Beckmann, both quickly seizing the opportunity and passing Piastri before the start-finish line. David Schumacher made a similar mistake on the last chicane kerb soon after and dropped to P23.
When the DRS was re-enabled, Jake Hughes had opened a 1.5 seconds gap that secured him first place again. Sargeant then came under pressure from Liam Lawson - the New Zealander completing the successful pass for second with three laps to go at Turn 2.
Piastri showed improved pace in the final laps but couldn't catch up with Beckmann, as the whole field held position until the chequered flag.
HWA's Jake Hughes crossed the line to take his first win of the season and dedicated it to Anthoine Hubert, almost one year after the Frenchman's fatal accident.
Hughes, who extended his lead by over two seconds over his closest competitor, finished ahead of Liam Lawson and championship leader Logan Sargeant.
Novalak led Beckmann and Piastri, with 16-year old star Theo Pourchaire in seventh and just in front of Alex Peroni. Matteo Nannini, making its FIA F3 return in place of Ben Barnicoat at Carlin, scored his first championship point and will start tomorrow's sprint race from reverse grid pole.
It was a challenging race for Sophia Floersch, who crossed the finish line in P27.
"Really dark race weekend again." - she said. "My car feels like doing a wet race. Tough days. A lot of work to understand what's going on."
Surely, such a compressed schedule could prove extra demanding for the Spanish squad, which will have to identify and fix the issues that prevented Floersch to fully show her potential in this first half of the championship.
The second FIA F3 race will see the green flag on Sunday at 09:45 CEST, with Sophia Floersch taking the start from the 14th row.

Hello! Welcome back to the blog. Today I have a new layout to share with you. I'm using the Crate Paper Wonder collection for this one, which came out almost a year ago. It feels like it was yesterday that I received this collection and I'm nowhere close to 'killing' it. The Wonder collection is an awesome collection and perfect for those who love collections with some more muted tones.
I'm using a photo that I took last year and it's essentially a photo of a christmas ball but it has a photo of Amy in it from when she was a puppy (my mom really likes this type of stuff haha). I thought this picture was perfect to use with the collection so I wanted to create something that was really sweet and had (mostly) soft colors.
I love the gold foiling and this sticker was perfect to add a bit more of the peachy pink tone to the layout. You can also get a good look at the layers on this layout. I think mixing in some specialty papers in between your layers is always a good idea.
This cluster is probably one of my favorite clusters I have ever done. I'm not the best at making clusters but this one actually turned out nice for a change. I used a mix of chipboard pieces, ephemera and stickers. The wood button with the moon is actually from the Crate Paper Little You collection but I just thought that it matched perfectly with the theme and color scheme I wanted to use for the layout.
I created a similar cluster on the other side of the photo to balance everything out. I cut out the floral ephemera piece in half so I could get more use out of it. I finished off the layout by adding some splatters using the gold Heidi Swapp Color Shine.
Thank you for joining me today, I hope you enjoyed seeing this layout. Make sure to check back on Friday to see my new collection, I'm so excited about how it turned out and hope you will like it too.


책 is "book" and 물건 is "thing." "들" is a plural marker, and "은" is a topic marker. Finally, "입니다" is called a copula -- it's just how you say "is," and it goes at the end, since Korean syntax is subject-object-verb. It can take a little getting used to! But it's useful to think about a more literal translation like, "as for books, they are things," for example.
Definitely check out the lesson notes (click the lightbulb for a given module from the main tree).
So 물건 means "thing"? And then you add 입니다 "to be" so convertd into "are things", am I right?
Extra information: 물건 is a Sino-korean noun, it's 한자 (Chinese character) form is 物件.
I had to look it up and it said that it was spelled wrong.
물건 means thing. 들 is a plural marker: man (남자) vs men (남잗들), woman (여자) vs women (여자들) Without adding 들 to 물건, the verb "to be" is singular (is) rather than (are).
I confirm it isn't used only for people and that indeed it is often dropped.
I was thrown off by Duolingo cause they only gave me the options for book and thing with -들 attached to them¿¿?
I answered this in my head before looking at the options, and thought it would be 책은 물건입니다. is this also viable?
은 는 is a subject marking particle. It has nothing to do with plural. In this case, duolingo is presenting a colloquial translation rather than literal translation.
IT IS 책들은 cuz I am korean and IT IS 책들은!!!!!!!
What do the two characters after book mean? Are they saying that it is plural?
so -은 is plural and -이 is singular?
By this logic, I think 책이 물건입니다 would be closer to meaning, "this is a book." Someone please correct me if I have something wrong here!
Almost correct, but objects require the 을/를 particle (so your example sentence translation is incorrect).
The distinction between topic and subject particle is a tough one. Check some of the other sentence discussions for this.

Olav Andreas Scheflo (9 September 1883 – 25 June 1943) was a Norwegian Communist politician and journalist.

Party activities
Scheflo was a member of the Norwegian Labour Party from 1905. After the October Revolution he fought hard to convince the Labor Party to join the Communist International and Scheflo was a Norwegian representative at the second congress of the Comintern in 1920 and was member of the Comintern Executive Committee from 1921 to 1927. Critical towards Stalinism, he left the Norwegian Communist Party in 1928 and rejoined the Labor Party in 1929.

When Sweden's Communist leader, Zeth Höglund was offered to be made honorable corporal in the Red Army in 1918 but declined, the offer instead went to Scheflo, who gladly accepted the position.

When Leon Trotsky lived in exile in Norway in 1935 and 1936, Scheflo strongly defended him against attacks from both Stalinist and the Norwegian bourgeoisie. However, he would never become a real Trotskyist since he was closer to the Soviet Right Opposition.

Scheflo's autobiography is  (The Red Thread in Norwegian History).

After the split in the party
With the party split of 1923, he sided with the Norwegian Communist Party (NKP) in which he was voted into party leadership as a Comintern representative (until 1927) and editor of the main organ of the party, . In 1924 he was sent to prison for publishing a statement against strikebreaking during the great Iron strike (a series of labor conflicts from 1923-24). That same year, he was condemned for "encouragement of punishable deeds" after having agitated for a military strike.

Politically, Scheflo was relatively moderate and was counted among the right wing in the NKP. The conflict within the party led to his resignation as editor of the main organ in 1927.

In March 1928 Scheflo left the NKP in protest against the party's negative attitude towards the Hornsrud government. From 1929 he was a member of the Norwegian Labor Party and from 1931 he was the editor of the party newspaper Sørlandet in Kristiansand.

Can you upload the source files for these songs? They'll be much easier to critique that way.

But from what I heard so far, these songs are pretty good, melody-wise, that is. Some volume mixing would be welcome, though.

A Review of Koushun Takami's Battle Royale
Released back in 1999, Koushun Takami's Battle Royale took the world by storm. Although the novel was completed three years before its launch, it was unquestionably worth the wait. To date, few literary pieces have had a similar impact on the entertainment world, with its impression still prominent in a wide array of newly-released creations. So, let's analyse Battle Royale's long-term influence and consider why it's been so popular.
Influencing Entertainment Crossovers
Based on its name alone, the title Battle Royale is likely to be familiar. One year after the book's success, Kinji Fukasaku directed the film adaptation of the Japanese action-thriller. The title, which, at its core, embraced Darwinian evolutionary theory's survival of the fittest, starred Aki Maeda, Takeshi Kitano, Tatsuya Fujiwara, and many more. It's a testament to the movies' appeal that Quentin Tarantino, a world-renowned award-winning director, labelled the dystopian thriller as one of his favourite titles. Moreover, he also declared that he wished he'd made it, according to IndieWire.
As such, Takami's creation is one of the most influential publications of the 20th century. At the time of writing, the battle royale theme has become a staple of present-day pop culture. Not only has the film inspired other movies, such as Kill Bill, Shaun of the Dead, and The Hunger Games trilogy, but it's also had a dramatic impact on the gaming world. Well known to millennial audiences, Call of Duty: Warzone, Fortnite, and PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds are modern-day representations of Battle Royale. Each focus on the idea of being the last one standing, a concept that Takami's publication made popular.
Furthermore, such a concept has also crossed over into the online casino sector. For example, Battle Royale heightened manga's appeal in entertainment. Now, it's a go-to theme, as evident from Highschool Manga at Genesis Casino online. The Wazdan creation is one of many titles in the operator's wide-ranging library of game, and it adopts a three-reel format with five paylines. Inspired by classic Japanese aesthetics, Highschool Manga seeks to bring the graphic style to life, as Battle Royale adaptations did during the early-2000s.
A Well-Received Publication
Ultimately, the diverse range of battle royale-themed productions that have since hit the market speaks volumes about Takami's publication. Regarding the book itself, its ground-breaking plot formed the foundations for a thought-provoking read. As Polygon states, the dystopian competition's rules, from a literary standpoint, are perverse genius. As such, that's why Battle Royale has long stood out from the crowd in the action-thriller genre.

Despite its violent undertones, there's far more to the 1999 release than first meets the eye. While, of course, authoritarianism coincides with brutality to create a psychologically-stimulating piece of literature, themes of political division and social manipulation are also at the novel's core. As such, few can argue that Battle Royale isn't a one-of-a-kind creation. Not only does it toe the line between fictional entertainment and a real-world warning, but it possesses a real emotional depth that captivates readers from start to finish.
Continuing to Inspire
Now a best-seller in Japan, Battle Royale is more than a mere novel. Ultimately, Takami's ground-breaking book has given light to themes of injustice within a dystopian society. As such, it's legacy will forever live long in the memory, especially as it continues to exist through modern-day films and video games.

Social Cybersecurity: Reshaping Security Through An Empirical Understanding of Human Social Behavior
Sauvik Das
Social Cybersecurity: Reshaping Security Through Human Social Behavior (Sauvik Das)
Entering an era of pervasive, connected smart things, our cybersecurity decisions increasingly interfere with our social lives. Yet, little is known of the complex social consequences of our security behaviors, and vice versa. Absent this knowledge, it is difficult to develop better, more socially intelligent security systems that are intuitive for the layperson. My work on social cybersecurity bridges this gap. First, I will highlight some data science work on how social factors affect security behaviors through two empirical analyses: (i) an exploratory analysis of how optional-use security tools diffused through the social networks of 1.5 million Facebook users and (ii) a randomized, controlled experiment with 50,000 people. I will then discuss Thumprint, an inclusive authentication system I created based on the results of the prior empirical analyses. Using techniques from both supervised and unsupervised machine learning, Thumprint authenticates and identifies individual members of small, local groups (e.g., families or small work teams) through the acoustic and acceleration profiles of a single, shared secret knock. Taken together, my work points towards a future of socially intelligent security systems that understand and accommodate basic human behaviors, desires and capabilities.

The footage of fire tearing through the Mackintosh building of the Glasgow School of Art on Renfrew Street is more than unnerving.
Though it's too early to say how much damage has been caused to the building, it is evident that much of the original architecture has been destroyed.
No building is replaceable, but this one is particularly precious. It is without doubt the most important building Charles Rennie Mackintosh (1868-1928) designed.
We are more inclined today to think of Mackintosh's stylish interior designs – the kind of monochrome-and-rose prints that remain ubiquitous in interior design shops – but his Art School has also stood the test of time.
As one of the first manifestly 'modern' constructions, it emerged as a monumental gateway between the nineteenth century and the future. It was completed in 1909.
At a time when Glasgow was praised as the 'second city of the Empire', it put Scottish accomplishment and ambition firmly on the map.
When Mackintosh himself took classes at the school as a young man, it was based in buildings that had far outlived their purpose. A competition was held to design a building for a newly purchased site in Renfrew Street, large enough to cater for the growing student body. Mackintosh's design won. As fire continues to engulf the Mackintosh Building of the Glasgow School of Art, it's worth reflecting that none of the drawings he entered for the competition survives.
Also worth considering as smoke billows from the rooftop is the fact that the interior of this building was as important, if not more important, than the extraordinary façades. The approach of Mackintosh and his team to this project was entirely practical. You can see that in the ground plan, and you can see that from the street. The building is shaped like a giant 'E', with purpose-built studios arranged along the perpendicular lines and behind inordinately large windows to give students maximum natural light.
Perhaps that's part of the reason why the school has so many impressive credits to its name. David Shrigley, Martin Boyce, and even Peter Capaldi studied there.
Particularly catastrophic, to my mind, is the reported destruction of the three-storied library on the west side of the building. This was Mackintosh's crowning glory, a light, airy – but wood-heavy – space dominated by triple-tiered windows.
Would Scottish independence compromise its museums and galleries?

For some great comments on it, see Justin Taylor's blog.
12 reasons why an evangelical view of the Bible commits one to the existence of Adam as a real historical individual.
8. In Romans 5:12-21, Paul draws his famous parallel between Adam and Jesus. The transgression of "one man" (Adam) brought judgment and death, but the obedience of "one man" (Jesus) brought righteousness and life. If Adam never actually existed (never mind sinned), Paul's parallel — on which his theological argument depends — falls flat.
I don't understand why people want to turn this stuff around and take the much harder reading and call the plain reading (in all of Scripture, not just Genesis) "very highly literalistic" as if it's not legitimate or sophisticated.
And here is a response to the response at Rightly Dividing the Word of Truth.
Update: here is an excellent rebuttal to the rebuttal to the rebuttal at Analogical Thoughts which offered the 12 reasons linked above.
I was starting to think I was the only one who believed in a literal Adam.
Stan I believe you summed it up.
Bitsy there seems to be a lot of liberal thinking out there that's in vogue.
I'm posting this here because Nick's thread is up to 30+ comments.
Almost every Biblical reference to Adam I can think of, references him as a past living person, at least to me. Without some serious evidence other than a theory based on a couple verses, I think playing with the beginnings of Genesis as a myth or allegorical account is not a very good use of time. Joseph's lineage in Luke 3:23-38 traces to a living person.
Yeah, I don't get it. I don't want to say too much or I'll get called out and that's stressful for me. I think the people on Nick's thread that agree with us are doing a good job even if some are a little less than gentle. Thanks for commenting here.
Rest easy, they're bringing the challenge, they bring the evidence. So far, I haven't seen anything other than a theory.
I realize parts of the Bible are allegorical and speak in metaphor, but I need some hard evidence before I'll get on this merry-go-round.
but I need some hard evidence before I'll get on this merry-go-round.
There is no hard evidence, only fanciful ideas.
One's views about the historicity of early Genesis are a reflection of one's view of Scripture. If one primarily views Scripture as similar to other ancient writings of the time period (Babylonian mythology, etc.), one will tend to view the Biblical writings through that lens and come up with ideas that seem sensible but actually disintegrate the unity of the Bible (and ultimately present the idea that it means something other than what it says). If one primarily views the Bible as God's Eternal Word of Truth, as inerrant as God Himself is (though arriving by His Providence through the minds and experiences of imperfect and errant people), guarded by the Holy Spirit from any contamination or mistake, entirely pure and wholly true, one will tend to say that Scripture means exactly what it says – and that God was careful and exacting in His revelation.
What I have learned here is that Tremper Longman III, although he is 100 times more scholarly and studied than I am, is not a reliable witness about the unity and integration of Scripture. Let God be true, and EVERY MAN a liar. That includes me and you and Tremper. But this is exactly the point – Scripture calls us to trust IT more than we trust our own thoughts.
Perhaps scholars like Longman end up spending so much time looking at the ancient cultures, archeological data, and other human/earthly factors related to Scripture that they lose perspective on the heavenly/inspired character of the Word.
My 5-year-old apparently has more faith in God's Word than most super-scholars, and I take this as a warning against the subtle unbelief that sometimes accompanies "learning." Ever learning, but never able to come to a knowledge of the Truth – this is the danger for all of us knowledge-hungry seekers of insight from the Bible. May God help us to believe Him.
Thanks for the further comments and for the Scripture Stan.
Derek what an excellent post. I don't even want to call it a comment. That would be a great blog post. I feel EXACTLY the same way.
I always thought of Tremper Longman as one of those "good names" you want to look for in an OT commentary. Now I find it would be hard to trust him with anything. I know that's extreme, but it's hard for me to get past it. I may do a post on that.
I've added an Update to the original post.
Dan Phillips has posted A few pithy thoughts on doubt over at PyroManiacs. It is a list of thoughts he had regarding the whole discussion of Tremper Longman's regrettable comments.
I feel the same way. In fact, I feel the same way about N.T. Wright.
Thanks for the link Stan.
Truth, N.T. Wright happens to be another one of those people for me also. If he can't get justification right (according to what I believe), do I want to read him? Plus I really don't like reading his writings except for possibly his commentaries.
I don't think you are giving the man any type of fairness. I suggest that you read Dr. Longman's How to Read Genesis before commenting on his character and faith so negatively. I think you would find it much harder to do so then you have.
In short, I think that you are creating a strawman which you easily push over because no one is actually making these arguments.
(A) "Tremper Longman has been bad news for years. Back in the day, I remember him holding court at GA with all the young dudes who opposed our church witnessing against our wives and daughters being drafted and serving as military combatants.
There was a large sigh of relief at Westminster Philly when he left for Westmont. Westminster's gain and Westmont's loss, although Westmont wouldn't see it that way.
(B) "My old Seminary principal, Rev. Philip H. Eveson, now retired, wrote a convincing essay against Longman's view of Ecclesiates. He also spent a long time in the lecture hall warning us that Longman's view of Eccles. was nonsense! He also warned us against the O.T. Instroduction by Dillard and Longman, telling us to get hold of the older work by E.J. YOung instead. Mr. Eveson has not only taught New Testament at the London Theological Seminary for many years, but was himself educated in liberal institutions as a young man (he has just retired). His complaint about Longman is that the man's a quasi-liberal.
Thanks for the other side of the coin. I'm not sure if we're commenting on his character but probably his faith.
Also thanks for his quotes from his book on Genesis. I don't see anything about Adam in there though. And I wonder if he's changed his view(s) since then.
I don't understand how we're creating a strawman. We're not attacking his character at the expense of the debate. We're debating his (and others in other threads) specific view of Adam as not being an individual man in the context of both Genesis and all of Scripture.
When I say it's hard for me to trust him with anything and that I may do a post on this, what I mean is it's a weakness of mine that if I vehemently disagree with someone on a single issue, it's difficult for me to want to consult them on anything else. I was going to see if others experience the same thing.
The words you have quoted are directly opposite to what he says in the video. Now, I am in the habit of being open minded about apparent contradictions wherever I find them. I'd like to hear Longman explain himself and reconcile his statements in the video with what you've quoted here. But I wonder how recent that quote is, and I wonder if he would still stand by it today. Scholars are allowed to change their minds. However, if they want to maintain any credibility in the Bible-believing Church, they need to NOT say evolution is compatible with Genesis, and they need to NOT say Adam was "mankind" rather than an individual. Since Scripture presents Adam as an individual over and over again, with specific actions and specific consequences attached to this one person (even relating this ONE PERSON Adam to the ONE PERSON Jesus Christ), I can't find any way to agree with Longman (at least what he says in the video) without denying the inerrancy of Scripture outright. Let the whole Evangelical world go that way if they will, but by God's grace I hope to die with a Bible in my hand and the Truth of it still blazing in my heart – from Genesis 1:1 to the end of Revelation and everything in between.
The book is from 2005 and I believe he was talking about the book when he did the video.
I mean if you listen to the video he literally is just talking about Genesis 1 and 2 (not the rest of scripture and he talks about the difficulty on a non-literal reading of Genesis 1-2 at the 30 second mark). I think the point his point is more Genesis 1 and 2 don't insist on the account being historical, that is an outside hermeneutic applied to the text.
I think if you read Jeremy Pierce's blog on how he reads the video it is a fair reading and leaves room for the book to be consistent with video.
Or if you don't find that compelling and believe that he speaking to the non-historicity of Adam in all the Scripture you can actually take him at his own word at the end of the video that he is still openly thinking about the issue. It might be interesting to consider whether a man can be labeled heretical for simply seriously considering whether something might not be true rather then trying to defend it.
As an aside what I believe is being discussed here is hermeneutics. I don't believe it is proper to treat our hermeneutic for dealing with scripture as inerrant. The text itself is inerrant – not the interpretive lens that we place on the text. We as sinners and westerners bring a lot of presuppositions to the text. More specifically orthodox reformed interpretation approach relies a good deal on Aristotelian hermeneutic approach (i.e. think systematic theology). But I am a secularly trained as a lawyer/philosopher so I don't know what the current thinking is on these points in the reformed academies these days.
If someone denies Adam in Genesis, they deny him throughout Scripture. Tremper Longman can't have his cake and eat it too.
He says he doesn't think Genesis 1 & 2 prohibit the idea of evolution. Very troubling.
A "scholar" having an open mind on such a crucial doctrine is very troubling.
There is no straw man here. There is a man who doesn't believe the Scriptures, his statements from his book notwithstanding.
QUOTE: He says he doesn't think Genesis 1 & 2 prohibit the idea of evolution. Very troubling.
Since when did disbelief in evolution become a central tennet of our faith – I'd like to see you defend that one using scriptural cites alone and not secondary sources on biblical interpretation.
QUOTE- There is a man who doesn't believe the Scriptures, his statements from his book notwithstanding.
Aren't you giving up the argument that he doesn't believe in scripture if you recognize that the hundreds of pages long book on the matter is consistent with scripture.
I mean the man has faithfully taught in the Church and helped teach and guide several of the leaders of the Church for almost 30 years. He was one of the earliest reformed teachers of this current generation challenging liberal teachers in the church. He has defended the scriptures as inerrant in everything he has written during that time. A single 98 seconds of a non-scripted interview is what he is being judged on. Let's hope we are treated less harshly ourselves.
I'd like to see you defend that one using scriptural cites alone and not secondary sources on biblical interpretation.
Let's start with Genesis. Pretty straightforward.
From there you can look at how Jesus and apostles considered Adam a real person and built theological arguments on his being a real person.
To suggest that God did not create everything that is and that Adam was not a real person is to call God a liar. Big problem.
And Benedict Arnold was a patriot…until he betrayed his country.
A single 98 seconds of a non-scripted interview is what he is being judged on. Let's hope we are treated less harshly ourselves.
Come out of the shadows and quit posting anonymously if you are interesting in discussing further.
When it comes out of the "theory" category I'll consider it.
So typical for a drive-by defender of unbelief.
Apparently we are part of the fundamentalist craziness as the label shows.
