A ruthless tycoon
Savage ambition has brought common-born Rhys Winterborne vast wealth and success. In business and beyond, Rhys gets exactly what he wants. And from the moment he meets the shy, aristocratic Lady Helen Ravenel, he is determined to possess her. If he must take her virtue to ensure she marries him, so much the better . . .
A sheltered beauty
Helen has had little contact with the glittering, cynical world of London society. Yet Rhys's determined seduction awakens an intense mutual passion. Helen's gentle upbringing belies a stubborn conviction that only she can tame her unruly husband. As Rhys's enemies conspire against them, Helen must trust him with her darkest secret. The risks are unthinkable . . . the reward, a lifetime of incomparable bliss. And it all begins with…
New York Times bestselling author Lisa Kleypas graduated from Wellesley College with a political science degree. She's a RITA award-winning author of both historical romance and contemporary women's fiction. She lives in Washington State with her husband Gregory and their two children.
Praise For Marrying Winterborne…
"The novel's parade of complicated characters is set against a compelling backdrop of Victorian England, with all the fashion and technological changes of the era. Kleypas is a masterful writer, and her latest offering will be welcomed by fans old and new."
— Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"Picking up where Cold-Hearted Rake leaves off, this engaging tale brings class bias, illegitimacy, and assorted social issues of the Victorian era into sharp focus and seamlessly continues the series while hinting at escapades to come. Beautifully done."
— Library Journal
"Emotional depth, appealing characters, strong storylines and sexual tension are what make Kleypas' novels reader favorites...but what will truly captivate them is watching the characters grow as love makes them the best they can be. A lovely, unforgettable story."

Whether it's a five-star mansion or a bachelor apartment, and whether it's located on a Mediterranean beach or in the heart of a bustling metropolis, homify 360° will get the design scoop and share it with you.
For today's architectural wonder, we relocate all the way to Colombia, South America, to take a sneak peek at a modern construction. Camilo Pulido Architects pulled out all the stylish stops for this superb residence, which looks like a tropical island transformed into a spacious residence.
Stretching 580 square metres and boasting two floors, this resort-like house knows the secret of combining contemporary construction with tropical ambience. Let's get tropically trendy!
As far as first impressions go, we are already quite pleased. The house's front facade shows off a very neat face for any visiting guests. Its clean lined design pacts a straightforward, yet very powerful punch. Those abstract geometric shapes fit together as perfect as a designer puzzle.
And combined with that quiet palette of neutral tones (save for a dash of dark elements in the pillar and flooring), this house, on top of being stylish, manages to look clean and spacious as well.
On to the interiors, where the neutral colour tones opt for a more basic contrast between black and white. The ground floor is where we locate a large open floor-plan, which consists of the kitchen, dining room and living room.
The staircase, an open riser with a half landing, leads to the next storey, while a very generous window ensures that a good batch of natural lighting is introduced into both volumes.
As noted, the dining room and kitchen share an open space, ensuring that the stylish vibe has a barrier-less flow from one area to the other.
Black and white continue to adorn the interiors, yet here we get a dash of green hues as well to enhance that tropical ambience ever so slightly. Some stainless steel is introduced into the mix (in the form of kitchen appliances), as well as a sleek plate of glass for the dining table.
Lush and comfy couches mark the start of the living room, which flaunts fabulous tones such as pearl, cerulean and arctic blue. One cannot help but notice how strikingly those cool blues stand out among the white and black hues that dominate the interiors (which is exactly why white and black are considered classic and timeless, as they go perfectly well with any imaginable colour).
Thanks to those splendid sliding doors, natural light floods into the social area, causing those white tones to positively glow with style.
Perspectiva piscina con chorros de agua.
A swimming pool that demands our attention (and refuses to let it go) lies in wait outside. With its lagoon-shaped design and delicious mix of heavenly blues, the architects had no choice but to add palm trees. Sprouting fountains complete this tropical look perfectly.
Note how the curvy shape of the pool (and surrounding patio) contrasts with the linear, straightforward design of the rest of the house. This separates the exterior spaces quite uniquely from the interior ones, highlighting clearly which of the two is more relaxing.
In order to continue that spacious feeling of the interiors, a stretched patio was added to the outdoors. On the other side we see a wooden deck, complete with loungers to get the best view of that gorgeous pool. This presents the ideal spot for sunbathing, reading, dozing, socialising with friends… anything, really.
Plants and shrubs (and palm trees, of course) were added to bring in some soft touches of nature, combining those green hues wonderfully with the pool's blue ones.
Al fresco dining is certainly a fun and unique experience – so, why not try showering outside as well? Integrated into the one corner of the patio, where the abundance of vegetation seems enhanced (for added privacy from prying neighbour eyes?), we locate the exterior shower.
Is this meant for feet rinsing before entering the house, or does it serve as a legitimate cleaning spot together with the inside bathrooms? We can't say for sure, but we do know that it looks mighty appealing. A homify-approved design, for sure!
We just couldn't conclude our tour without one last look at the pool/patio area, but this time we added some night sky to make the interior lighting come to life. Behold a stunning collection of glows, some cast against walls, others illuminating floor space, while others are dancing across pool waters. The ideal ambience for anything from a noisy pool party to a romantic midnight swim for two.
It is clear that space was an important element in the design of this fabulous residence. Every area, regardless of whether it's the inside staircase or the exterior terrace, provides spacious room, allowing the house to flaunt its full potential.

Powhatan Fishing Customs
The Powhatan tribes still adhere to some fishing practices worth mentioning. Until not long ago fish fences were employed. These were chiefly for sturgeon, but now this splendid fish is so scarce that whereas thirty years ago from three to six a day during July and August would be taken, now the record is three a season by six boats fishing the same period. Captain John Smith mentions 52 and 68 being taken "at a draught." 1Smith's account of Virginia in Tyler, L. G., Narratives of Early Virginia, New York, 1907, p. 85. The Virginia explorers noted the great abundance
A Pamunkey Turkey Hunt
A scene from the work of a day of one of the hunters (Paul Miles) will convey a picture of life at Pamunkey and help to give a background for an understanding of living conditions.
Pamunkey Hunting Grounds
Perhaps the most striking feature of all in the natural history of the modern Pamunkey comes before us in the survival of the controlled hunting and trapping rights: the custom by which each hunter in the band controls an assigned and definitely bounded area within which he enjoys the exclusive privilege of setting his traps for fur-bearing animals.
Powhatan Hunting Customs
The marsh and swamp area of tidewater Virginia is extensive. For many miles both banks of the rivers are bordered by lowlands, which are inundated by the tides. In nearly all the rivers this occurs as far as 60 to 70 miles from Chesapeake Bay. Some of these tracts are marshy flats covered with a growth of dock, rushes, and cattails. Others are overgrown with virgin forests of cypress, swamp oak, swamp gum, maple, and red birch. In the picturesque vernacular of the region such are called "low grounds." In some places the swamps extend continuously from one to three
Life and travels of Colonel James Smith – Indian Captivities
James Smith, pioneer, was born in Franklin county, Pennsylvania, in 1737. When he was eighteen years of age he was captured by the Indians, was adopted into one of their tribes, and lived with them as one of themselves until his escape in 1759. He became a lieutenant under General Bouquet during the expedition against the Ohio Indians in 1764, and was captain of a company of rangers in Lord Dunmore's War. In 1775 he was promoted to major of militia. He served in the Pennsylvania convention in 1776, and in the assembly in 1776-77. In the latter year he was commissioned colonel in command on the frontiers, and performed distinguished services. Smith moved to Kentucky in 1788. He was a member of the Danville convention, and represented Bourbon county for many years in the legislature. He died in Washington county, Kentucky, in 1812. The following narrative of his experience as member of an Indian tribe is from his own book entitled "Remarkable Adventures in the Life and Travels of Colonel James Smith," printed at Lexington, Kentucky, in 1799. It affords a striking contrast to the terrible experiences of the other captives whose stories are republished in this book; for he was well treated, and stayed so long with his red captors that he acquired expert knowledge of their arts and customs, and deep insight into their character.
Legal Status of the Pamunkey Tribe
The Pamunkey, with a resident population of little more than a hundred, still preserve their national independence under the privileges accorded them by the State of Virginia almost two and a half centuries ago. They enjoy the unique distinction of being in all likelihood the smallest independent nation in the world. Pollard's synopsis of the political circumstances leaves nothing to be added. 1Pollard, J. G., The Pamunkey Indians of Virginia, Bull. 17, Bur. Amer. Ethnol., Washington, 1894, pp. 15-17. In government the tribe is a true democracy, over which, however, the State of Virginia 2Pollard adds in a footnote: "The

Kenneth Thome, President Board of Directors CRCC, said, "Managing our club in a sustainable manner is something which we value and promote as an organization, as it benefits our members, the local community and the global environment. Becoming GEO re-Certified credibly recognizes our work to date and demonstrates our ongoing commitment. We are very proud to have achieved this."
The club was particularly praised within the GEO re-Certified report, submitted by the independent verifier. For its ambitious non-native tree replacement carbon sequestration strategy. The club is committed to replacing 340 non-native trees in the next six years with native species more suited for the climate and that provide food and shelter to fauna. Further highlights of the clubs ongoing work across nature, resource efficiency and community value include:
85% of the club's energy consumption comes from renewable sources;
50% of main use lighting has been replaced with energy efficient LEDs, with a target to reach 100% in the near future;
Detailed soil, plant, and water analysis is carried out to accurately design and implement the turf fertiliser and pesticide programme;
Purchasing policies which promotes local suppliers and energy efficient appliances have led to the use of 50% of products containing recycled matterial, plans are also in place to work only with ISO 14001 accredited suppliers;
A sustainable waste management system is in place and regular waste audits take place, recyclable waste is donated to a local NGO to help them to fundraise;
Close community links including provision of food storage for a local foster home and internships for local students.
B.K. Singh, and Johan Perret, Professors at local Earth University said "This distinction demonstrates CRCC's work and commitment to sustainability, not only over the three years since they were first GEO Certified but also looking forward to the future."
Prof. Singh, who is involved in the sustainability programme at the club continues: "The OnCourse® programme was of great help in allowing us to recognize where sustainable goals had been achieved and where improvements were needed. It supports our work plan and priority-setting, guides our best practice in sustainable golf, and ultimately enhances our ability to embed cost-effective, climate-resilient practices in every day work."
Jonathan Smith, Chief Executive of GEO, said, "In becoming GEO Re-Certified CRCC have once again shown strong leadership in strengthening golf in Latin America. Through their active commitment to sustainable development they are demonstrating the benefits golf can bring to the local environment and communities, enhancing the value of the game in the region.

Operational history

Richmond was first deployed in 1997 to the Far East as part of the 'Ocean Wave 97' Task Group. One of the most interesting visits she made was to the Russian port of Vladivostok, an important Russian naval base, where she became the first Royal Navy vessel to visit in over 100 years. Also that year Richmond escorted the royal yacht HMY Britannia on the ship's final leg of her final tour of the United Kingdom prior to her decommissioning.
In 1998 Richmond participated in two significant NATO naval exercises and arrived in New York where she was involved in the US Navy Fleet Week. In 1999 Richmond was dispatched to the South Atlantic as part of Atlantic Patrol Task (South) and underwent a major overhaul which concluded in 2000.
In 2001 Richmond joined the NATO multi-national squadron Standing Naval Force Mediterranean. In 2002 she arrived in the Caribbean where she performed tasks including obligatory "fly-the-flag" duties to the Commonwealth countries in the region as well as undergoing trials. In June 2002, two officers were killed when Richmond's Lynx helicopter crashed off the coast of Virginia.[2]
In 2003, under the command of Commander Wayne Keble, she deployed to the Persian Gulf on Armilla Patrol where she relieved HMS Cardiff.[3] She had arrived shortly before the 2003 Iraq War. When hostilities began, Richmond, HM ships Chatham, Marlborough and HMAS Anzac of the Royal Australian Navy provided Naval Gunfire Support (NGS) during the Royal Marines' amphibious assault of the Al Faw Peninsula, the first amphibious assault by the Marines since the Falklands War in 1982. Richmond remained in the region at the war's end and returned home in August.
In July 2004, under the command of Commander Mike McCartain, Richmond deployed on Atlantic Patrol Task (North), which encompasses the Atlantic and Caribbean regions. Two of the ports she visited early in the deployment were Jamaica and Belize. In September Richmond came to the assistance of the Turks and Caicos Islands when they were struck by Hurricane Frances. Turks and Caicos suffered only minimal damage to buildings. Richmond then sailed to Curaçao, Netherlands Antilles where she resumed her maintenance period, which had been interrupted due to the hurricane, but remained on standby to provide assistance due to the imminent arrival of Hurricane Ivan.
Hurricane Ivan eventually hit the region, causing significant damage and fatalities, particularly inflicting enormous damage and a number of fatalities to Grenada, which included immense damage to the capital St. George's. Richmond and her accompanying Royal Fleet Auxiliary vessel Wave Ruler came to the assistance of the island. The extent of the damage in Grenada reached such levels that Keith Mitchell, Prime Minister of Grenada, was forced to relocate to Richmond after his residence was destroyed by the hurricane. The Prime Minister effectively ran his country from Richmond for several hours.
Her crew having performed vital assistance on land at Grenada, Richmond steamed at her top speed for Jamaica and the Cayman Islands to assist those territories in recovering from the ravages of Hurricane Ivan.
Richmond returned from her deployment in December 2004, and began a refit period at HM Naval Base Portsmouth in mid-2005. The refit, undertaken by Fleet Support Limited, was completed in late 2006 and Richmond was returned to the operational fleet in October 2006. With 44 major upgrades to her sensor and weapon systems, Richmond was at that time one of the most capable Type 23 frigates.[4] From 5 to 12 July 2010 she anchored beside HMS Belfast in London to foster the ship's relations with the Borough of Richmond-upon-Thames.[5]
HMS Richmond moored at South Quay in London in 2017
In 2011, she deployed to the Middle East and the Asia-Pacific region, the latter for upcoming Five Power Defence Arrangement exercises, specifically Exercise Bersama Shield 11.[6] She assisted with anti-piracy operations with the EU Naval Force and was also a participant in the IMEX Asia 2011.[7][8] After Singapore, she rendered honours to the fallen of Force Z (see the Sinking of Prince of Wales and Repulse).[9]
She took part in exercise FRUKUS 2011 with ships from the United States Navy and Russian Navy.[10]
In early August 2013, she deployed under the command of Commander Robert G. Pedre to be the ship for the Royal Navy's Atlantic Patrol South where she carried out Maritime Security Patrols in the Falkland Islands. HMS Richmond returned to the UK in February 2014. This deployment involved high profile defence engagement visits to five continents and resulted in the ship receiving Commander British Forces South Atlantic Islands Commendation for Distinguished Service. Of note, during her seven months away Richmond conducted visits to five British Dependent Overseas Territories including Ascension Island, St Helena, the Falklands, South Georgia and Tristan da Cunha. During this deployment Richmond became the first Royal Navy warship to transit the Panama Canal in its centenary year.[11]
In October 2015 Richmond was deployed to the Mediterranean to aid the EU's fight against people smugglers due to refugees fleeing civil war in Syria. She returned to her home port on 11 December 2015.[12]
In October 2016 Richmond and the destroyer HMS Duncan were dispatched by the Ministry of Defence to intercept and "man-mark" a fleet of Russian Navy vessels, including their flagship Admiral Kuznetsov passing through the English Channel on their way to Syria.[13]
On 6 January 2017, Richmond featured in Series 1, episode 9 of The Grand Tour. The ship and its weaponry star in a sequence where James May and Jeremy Clarkson commandeer its 4.5 inch Mark 8 naval gun to destroy an armoured vehicle manufactured by Richard Hammond.
In June 2017, Richmond docked at Chatham on the Medway to mark 350 years since the Raid on the Medway.
Richmond entered refit at Devonport in the late summer of 2017. In November it was announced that on completion of the work in 2018 she will not return to Portsmouth and will switch base port to Plymouth in an effort to concentrate the Type 23s fitted with anti-submarine equipment in the city.[14]
The refit saw the ship become the first Type 23 to be fitted with MTU M53B diesel generators - these will be fitted to the remainder of the class (except Argyll and Lancaster), as well as the Type 26.[15] In February 2020, Richmond went to sea to for post-refit tests. These included the new PGMU propulsion system (MTU M53B generators) and the new Sea Ceptor air defence system, replacing the 1970s Sea Wolf system.[16]

WEST NYACK – Andrew Gamper took home the trophy. But NV/Demarest will get its copy too.
Gamper swam Indian Hills to first place in the last relay and a share of the Bergen County championship along with the defending-champion Norsemen after another thrilling race Sunday at Felix Festa Middle School. The Oakland school had never gotten better than bronze and needed some help to complete the greatest win in program history. The Braves came back from an eight-point deficit in the final event with a first-place finish and with the Norsemen placing third.
Immaculate Heart easily won its 21st straight girls championship and remains the only winner in tournament history.
"I took a quick peek around and then realized that it's about me," said Gamper, who anchored the winning 400 freestyle relay. "It's my time to go out and do what I can do. Show everyone what I can do, show everyone that Alex Gifford or Tim Park can't chase me down."
"We both have very strong teams and both deserve it," Norsemen senior Phil Gong added. "It's nice as a senior since we've always been getting better. It's a good cap to our high school experience."

The boys meet has a long history of being decided in the last race, so it was no surprise to see more drama. Indian Hills fought hard with a win from Brian Coughlin in the 200 IM and another relay title earlier in the night. But NV/Demarest was up to the task with Phil Gong smashing the breaststroke record and Tim Park becoming a double-winner in the 100 and 200 freestyles.
In the night's finale, Indian Hills built up an early lead with Maor Shir, then maintained it with Sam Itman and Jack Paul. Gamper held his ground with a pair of Bergen County champions on each side, slamming the water after a time of 3:13.02. The Ridgewood quartet finished close behind and won the race for second by 0.7 seconds.
"Just be clutch," Gamper told himself. "Don't think about anyone else. That's how I swim. Just do it for the team."
For the past few years, the Norsemen have been the undisputed kings of public school swimming. Their boys team is undefeated this winter and didn't lose in the past three seasons, winning state titles in each of those years. The fact that Sunday's race even came down to the end speaks to Indian Hills' development, but also to NV/Demarest's consistency. The Norsemen have won three of the last four county titles (including one in 2016 as co-champions), and showed an act of sportsmanship, letting Indian Hills keep the plaque while another is made.
"It's a combination of bringing in really good talent from the three towns that go to NVD," Park said. "But I think the culture of our program builds really good high school swimmers as well. They work really hard and our staff is really good. Coach (Samantha) Singer's record speaks for itself and we work hard."

Immaculate Heart usually doesn't have much trouble on the girls side, but that wasn't necessarily the case this year. The Blue Eagles won four of 11 titles and finished with 265.5 points, but were pushed hard by runner-up Leonia/Palisades Park (143). Sophomore Junseo Kim was the breakout star with a record-setting 200 freestyle and a butterfly title. The Lions also became only the third team in 21 years to defeat IHA in a relay at the Bergen County championships.
"I was very excited this year because we have won a lot of our meets," Kim said. "I did better than I expected today and had so much fun with all the other girls."
Columbia-bound Isabelle Arevalo was the Blue Eagles' star, taking the 100 freestyle and winning a relay. Kelly McDermott, Sydney Severini and Emmy Mazzacano also led the charge for IHA. Though the end result wasn't in doubt for the girls, the Blue Eagles also felt a challenge to swim their best.
"I love anchoring relays," Arevalo said. "I love the adrenaline it gives you. It was a really good race and I have major respect for them. I loved racing them and having them right there with us."

Q: NSURLRequest with App Level ProxyHost/ProxyPort Settings I'm looking for a way to use NSMutableURLRequest with app level proxyHost/Port settings, essentially a replacement for ASIHTTPRequest lib with proxyHost/proxyPort.  I've tried modifying the CFReadStream (from NSURLRequest HTTPBodyStream), but it SIGSEGs when setting the proxy settings.  I would rather not have to rewrite my app with CFNetworking, and it looks like AFNetwork lib doesn't include this feature yet either.
Has anyone successfully done this with NSMutableURLRequest?

A: The real answer appears to be creating a custom NSURLProtocol.  Should be a straight forward derivation, and add the appropriate proxyHost/proxyPort to the request (along with any other values such as a customized User Agent string).  Then, supposedly, all requests will be routed through this custom protocol (including UIWebView requests..direct or derived).
relevant samples:
https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/samplecode/CustomHTTPProtocol/Introduction/Intro.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/DTS40013653
http://eng.42go.com/customizing-uiwebview-requests-with-nsurlprotocol/
I'll post more when I have the thing operational.
Things of note with this implementation.

*

*Initially started using CFNetworking as the "wedge" in my custom
NSURLPRotocol, but quickly found I was rewriting the same code that
was in ASIHTTPRequest.  So I just implemented the wedge with
ASIHTTPRequest.

*The items that are not documented well (or at all), is the
interaction of UIWebView with NSURLProtocol callbacks, vs
NSURLRequest/Conenction with NSURLProtocol.  Some Findings:

*

*a) All dependent page resources are loaded automatically by UIWebView
(which we knew), and they all go through NSURLProtocol, so it is an
excellent place to put in code to modify all requests.

*b) The UIWebView sets the Referer header.  On a redirect, the only
way to get the UIWebView to update it's Referer from the original URL
to the new redirect URL is with the [[self client] URLProtocol:self
wasRedirectedToRequest:redirectRequest
redirectResponse:tmpHttpResponse]; callback.

*c) when the above redirect callback is received by UIWebView, it
generates a new NSURLRequest (essentially the one you sent back to
it).  So if you have a wedge that likes to do the redirect
internally, you have to cancel the Request that it attempts to make,
in favor of the new one from UIWebView.

*You have to be careful with which callbacks you implement from ASIHTTPRequestDelegate.  e.g. implementing didReceiveData will disable the built in gzip processing.  willRedirectToURL disables most of the built in redirect processing (even if you call [request redirectToURL:newURL]; as recommended in the comments).

Book Bits, Essays
June 19, 2020 December 29, 2020 Vanessa Able
"Power is the ability not just to tell the story of another person, but to make it the definitive story of that person."
– Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
'It is impossible to talk about the single story without talking about power,' asserts author and essayist Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie in this extract from her TED talk from 2009 called The Danger of the Single Story. She argues that which stories get to be told and how they are told essentially depends on who is telling them, and that the privilege of storytelling usually lies with the person with power. In a pluralistic and diverse society, it's important that storytellers from every perspective be heard, in order to reflect the truth of that society and its multi-faceted nature. It's not easy, admits Adichie, to ensure that we always keep searching beyond the single story, but expanding the scope of our narrative horizons is a virtuous imperative to commit ourselves to. This passage is interesting to compare with John Steinbeck's view of the single story of humanity, when he asserts in East of Eden that there is in fact just one story, and that is of the struggle between good and evil.
This single story of Africa ultimately comes, I think, from Western literature. Now, here is a quote from the writing of a London merchant called John Locke, who sailed to West Africa in 1561 and kept a fascinating account of his voyage. After referring to the black Africans as "beasts who have no houses," he writes, "They are also people without heads, having their mouth and eyes in their breasts."
Now, I've laughed every time I've read this. And one must admire the imagination of John Locke. But what is important about his writing is that it represents the beginning of a tradition of telling African stories in the West: a tradition of Sub-Saharan Africa as a place of negatives, of difference, of darkness, of people who, in the words of the wonderful poet Rudyard Kipling, are "half devil, half child."
This single story of Africa ultimately comes, I think, from Western literature.
And so I began to realize that my American roommate must have throughout her life seen and heard different versions of this single story, as had a professor, who once told me that my novel was not "authentically African." Now, I was quite willing to contend that there were a number of things wrong with the novel, that it had failed in a number of places, but I had not quite imagined that it had failed at achieving something called African authenticity. In fact I did not know what African authenticity was. The professor told me that my characters were too much like him, an educated and middle-class man. My characters drove cars. They were not starving. Therefore they were not authentically African.
But I must quickly add that I too am just as guilty in the question of the single story. A few years ago, I visited Mexico from the US. The political climate in the US at the time was tense, and there were debates going on about immigration. And, as often happens in America, immigration became synonymous with Mexicans. There were endless stories of Mexicans as people who were fleecing the health-care system, sneaking across the border, being arrested at the border, that sort of thing.
Like our economic and political worlds, stories too are defined by the principle of nkali: How they are told, who tells them, when they're told, how many stories are told, are really dependent on power.
I remember walking around on my first day in Guadalajara, watching the people going to work, rolling up tortillas in the marketplace, smoking, laughing. I remember first feeling slight surprise. And then I was overwhelmed with shame. I realized that I had been so immersed in the media coverage of Mexicans that they had become one thing in my mind, the abject immigrant. I had bought into the single story of Mexicans and I could not have been more ashamed of myself. So that is how to create a single story, show a people as one thing, as only one thing, over and over again, and that is what they become.
It is impossible to talk about the single story without talking about power. There is a word, an Igbo word that I think about whenever I think about the power structures of the world, and it is "nkali." It's a noun that loosely translates to "to be greater than another." Like our economic and political worlds, stories too are defined by the principle of nkali: How they are told, who tells them, when they're told, how many stories are told, are really dependent on power.
The Palestinian poet Mourid Barghouti writes that if you want to dispossess a people, the simplest way to do it is to tell their story and to start with, "secondly."
Power is the ability not just to tell the story of another person, but to make it the definitive story of that person. The Palestinian poet Mourid Barghouti writes that if you want to dispossess a people, the simplest way to do it is to tell their story and to start with, "secondly." Start the story with the arrows of the Native Americans, and not with the arrival of the British, and you have an entirely different story. Start the story with the failure of the African state, and not with the colonial creation of the African state, and you have an entirely different story.
I recently spoke at a university where a student told me that it was such a shame that Nigerian men were physical abusers like the father character in my novel. I told him that I had just read a novel called American Psycho—and that it was such a shame that young Americans were serial murderers. Now, obviously I said this in a fit of mild irritation. But it would never have occurred to me to think that just because I had read a novel in which a character was a serial killer that he was somehow representative of all Americans. This is not because I am a better person than that student, but because of America's cultural and economic power, I had many stories of America. I had read Tyler and Updike and Steinbeck and Gaitskill. I did not have a single story of America.

absolutely riveting, he is fabulous both as a speaker and author, thanki you for sharing this very timely post
wordsaroundtheglobe says:


Numerous rug fragments have been unearthed from the ruins of Fustat, Old Cairo, and they make an interesting study. It is clear that carpets were extensively traded, and examples characteristic of both Turkish and Spanish weaving have been found there. Although there is no certainty as to where this example was found, Egypt is a likely source. Certain technical features indicate that this may actually have been made in Egypt, and it probably dates some time before the fifteenth century.


Strengthen our system response to youth and families in crisis (SB5470/HB1657) by increasing emergency shelter beds for minors statewide, expanding eligibility for street outreach to age 24, and enabling youth to stay in shelters under a Child in Need of Services (CHINS) petition. Homeless teens in our state often fall through the cracks due to limited supports for families experiencing crisis and legal barriers that prohibit extended shelter stays.
Exempt minors from charges of prostitution (SB5744/HB1775) and create two therapeutic receiving centers for sexually exploited youth so they are treated as victims of trafficking and not as criminals. Changing the statute would ensure a victim-centered and trauma-informed response. It would bring Washington in line with other states as well as in compliance with federal law.
Eliminate detention for status offenses through the valid court order exception (VCO) (SB5290/HB1434) to reduce the rate of incarcerated youth and expand supports for youth and families in crisis. Washington leads the nation in detaining youth for status offenses. Studies have found that juvenile detention correlates with negative outcomes such as higher dropout rates, higher rates of recidivism, and lowered economic opportunity.
Invest $200 million in the Housing Trust Fund in the Capital Budget to address the crisis of homelessness and shortage of affordable housing in our state. The Housing Trust Fund is Washington's most effective tool for preserving and constructing affordable housing options across the state.
Support the Washington Coalition for Homeless Youth Advocacy (WACHYA) legislative priorities.
Pass new progressive revenue to support the full continuum of human services.

GTA V picks up two Steam Awards
By Kirsty / 2nd January 2017
In the first ever Steam Awards, which are voted for by the community of the PC gaming platform, Grand Theft Auto V has come out on top and won two more gongs to add to it's multiple accolades. It's also been announced that it finished within the top 12 of top selling games on Steam for 2016, giving it a platinum achievement. Considering it'll be 4 this year, I can't think of a time where this game hasn't been in the spotlight!
The trophies are pretty snazzy; that's one each for the Houser brothers. I wonder who is partial to a bit of pink?
The "Whoooaaaaaaa, dude!" Award
"Some games melt your face. Maybe it was a crazy plot twist. Maybe you just got your wisdom teeth removed. Either way, this game BLOWS YOUR MIND."
The "Game Within A Game" Award
"Kinder Eggs. Peanut Butter Cups. Jelly Donuts. All great things stuffed with other great things. Like a mighty turducken, this award celebrates the best mini game hidden within another game."

Friday Brunch at Morimoto Dubai.
Chef Masaharu Morimoto is known for his ingenious Japanese food and we take any chance we get to visit Morimoto, his Dubai outpost. The Morimoto Brunch on Friday afternoons is one that we recently tried and as always, it hit the spot.
This lavish spread includes signature dishes served on the table, as well as by the chefs at the open kitchen and sushi bar live stations.
Once seated guests pick from a choice of soup (miso or ramen), dumplings (spinach or prawn), tempura and fried chicken. As our table filled up with these hot starters, we browsed the sushi counter and came back with our plates full.
The choice of sushi and sashimi is incredible-everything is fresh and being prepared right in front of us. We also picked a few oysters, loaded up on a fresh tuna and salmon salads and enjoyed the fusion-style tacos.
There is a choice of main courses-we picked the black cod and the angry chicken (although the grilled steak looked very tempting!). Both are popular dishes on the menu and honestly, meals on their own. The hearty side dishes include moreish potatoes and soul-warming vegetable fried rice.
The grand finale has to be the most beautifully decorated dessert platter that is brought out to the table. A mix of fruit and cakes, it truly is something that deserves to be eaten slowly to really enjoy every aspect of it.
The Morimoto Brunch is a celebration of good food and it is the best way to get a complete taste of what the restaurant has to offer.

Q: Adding machines to the domain in a Read Only Domain Controller (RODC) site I have a site with terrible physical security and a terrible network connection. So I need a domain controller onsite (for when the network connection goes down) but it also needs to be a RODC for security reasons.
The machines onsite in this office have access to other read write domain controllers in other parts of the network. There's no firewall blocking them. I just don't want someone to be able to plug a keyboard / mouse into our domain controller on site and change stuff.
When adding new machines to the domain on this site, do I need to follow the process of creating a computer object in AD and then doing an offline domain join (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-server-2008-R2-and-2008/dd392267(v=ws.10))? Or can I somehow force machines that are currently not part of the domain to go to a RWDC (configured in another AD site) to get added to the domain the normal way?

A: Sadly it seems you will have to create a computer account and then replicate it through your AD domain like what you already found:
https://docs.centrify.com/en/css/2017.3-html/index.html#page/Planning,_preparation,_and_deployment/How_to_join_a_domain_with_a_read-only_domain_con.5.html
There is this script I found that claims it  can do it as well:
https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/Domain-Join-through-an-9a010eb5
Most scripts I find on the TechNet Gallery work like a champ. However since I don't have a RODC I can't test sadly. There might be a way to redirect it to another DC that belongs to another site but if you have strict security compliance that could be a bad thing to do.
Edit
If you were going to try to point it to a different DC I think it would be as simple as configuring the clients DNS to point to a RWDC. Then either through DHCP or manual configuration reset the IP settings especially DNS to the RODC. But again if you have compliance you have to meet this could be frowned upon.


DAVIE, Fla. (AP) - The subject was playing through pain, and Miami Dolphins running back Frank Gore drew on his extensive experience to share his thoughts with teammate Ryan Tannehill.
Gore's an ageless model of durability, while Tannehill plans to return from a throwing shoulder injury and start for only the sixth time in the Dolphins' past 31 games when they play Sunday at Indianapolis .
"He knows how much we need him," Gore said. "It's football, though. Everybody is going to be in pain from here on out. Talking to him when he wasn't playing, he wanted to be out there. He knows that he's going to be in pain, but you can tell that he wants to play, so that's a plus for us."
"I want to win," he said. "I'm going to go out there and try to be me."
The Colts know he'll do that, and remember Gore fondly.
"He's the kind of teammates everyone wants to have," Indy quarterback Andrew Luck said. "He always seemed like he was a step ahead, and I'd say, 'How did you know that?' And it was always hard for him to explain. He just knew."
And this year may not be his swan song. Gore's yards per carry average of 4.5 is his best since 2012 with San Francisco. Anyone who has watched him break tackle after tackle this year can believe he'll be back at 36.
"I feel like as long as I'm healthy and blessed and feeling good and know I can still play, I'm going to play," he said. "I'll evaluate myself at the end, my body, and see if I still want to go out in the offseason and train to get ready for another year. That's when I'll make my decision."
He's already a rarity at a position not known for longevity. Last week he became the first player to rush for 500 yards in 14 consecutive seasons, one more than Hall of Famers Walter Payton and Emmitt Smith.
The achievement won Gore plaudits from around the NFL - and beyond.
"Frank is my favorite player of all-time that I've ever coached," said former 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh, who is now at the University of Michigan. "Surpassing Walter Payton and Emmitt Smith is incredible, just incredible."
Equally impressed - but not surprised - is Dolphins coach Adam Gase. He was a 49ers assistant in 2008, when Gore ran for 1,036 yards for them.
"Our guys watch him practice, and it's almost like you forget where he's at in his career," Gase said. "He treats it like he's an undrafted free agent almost. He practices extremely hard. He finishes everything he does. There's a lot of pride there. Seeing him 10 years ago and then seeing him now, there's just not a lot of differences in how he plays and what he can do."
Gore is still chasing a Super Bowl championship ring, and hasn't been to the playoffs in five years. He thought he would get there with the Colts, but injuries to Luck and others sabotaged their chances.
"It just didn't go the way I planned it, but I had fun," Gore said. "The organization was great. Great people there. We fought."
It has been more of the same in Gore's native Miami, with his homecoming undermined by a wave of injuries to Tannehill and others.
Meanwhile, the old man at running back just keeps showing up for work. Others may be surprised Gore is still going strong, but he's not.
"I know how I train," he said. "I know how I go out every day in practice. I know in the offseason how I get myself ready. Competing with guys younger than me at my position, being around them every day, that helps me."


thumb thumb Kobylisy Shooting Range (Czech: Kobyliská st?elnice) is a former military shooting range located in Kobylisy, a northern suburb of Prague, Czech Republic.
The shooting range was established in 1889-1891, on a site that was at the time far outside the city, as a training facility for the Austro-Hungarian (and, later, Czechoslovak) army. During the Nazi occupation it was used for mass executions as part of retaliatory measures against the Czech people after the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich in 1942. About 550 Czech patriots of every social rank lost their lives here, most of them between May 30 and July 3, 1942, when executions took place almost every day. The bodies of the executed were subsequently incinerated in Strašnice Crematorium.
The site was converted to a memorial after World War II, and its current dimensions date to the 1970s when the large paneláks (Communist-era tower blocks) of a new housing estate encroached upon it. Kobylisy Shooting Range has had the status of national cultural monument since 1978. Today it is freely accessible and is within ten minutes' walk of the Kobylisy or Ládví metro stations.

Q: How do you remove directory qualifiers to simplify pathname using the Win32 API? If you have a path like "C:\foo\.\bar\.." is there an easy way using the Win32 API to remove the directory qualifiers in order to simplify it to "C:\foo" ?

Update: It seems to be a more complicated issue. On this simple example of "C:\foo\.\bar\..", it works with both PathCanonicalize() and GetFullPathName() to get "C:\foo" as a result.
However, the path I'm passing has a symbolic link.  So let's say I'm passing in "C:\NaNa\Boo\Bin\.." and "C:\NaNa" is a link to "D:\Apple".  Then I get "C:\NaNa\Boo\Bin\.." back ratener than "C:\NaNa\Boo"
I would assume the functions work with just the strings but there seems to be a difference when using the symbolic link :-(

Update #2: It appears I had a line break character (0x0d) in the string that was passed in and this kept the function from working properly!

A: Take a look at shlwapi's PathCanonicalize()

Jimmy Carr - Repeat Offender
Not suitable for the easily offended. Essentially this is a show for people without a moral compass.
New Theatre, Tue January 22nd 2008
New Theatre, Oxford
2 George Street Oxford OX1 2AG
Lita Doolan January 23, 2008
Jimmy Carr wears an understated dark suit, stands centre stage in this packed theatre and holds the crowd with his sharp, wry humour for two one hour sets, interspersed with an interval. In the Oxford show of his 'Repeat Offender' tour, questions from the floor range from 'Who do you try new material on?' to 'Who is the Stig?'. Carr's trademark raised eyebrow shows he had higher expectations from the great minds of this University town. To cite some of the earthier material such as the finer points of sexual etiquette is to rob them of their humour as the classy delivery of Carr makes unlikely comic material laugh out loud funny. Carr does indeed face facts and it is hard to argue with some of the profanities that are directed at justified targets such as suicide bombers. Modern issues such as global warming are tackled. Carr tells observational gags as he notes always in the reportage of flooded areas there is a man in a canoe 'probably off to Boots'.
Undoubtedly some of the material is cut close to the bone but ironically you could probably take your Grandmother to this because it's the smooth and stylish way Carr tells 'em that makes the audience want to hear more. The simplicity of the material belies how well written it is. 'Three percent of Britons do not leave a tip. They're called the weirdos who will not leave the tip.' Carr does not need a whipping boy to make the audience laugh, a book described as a 'page-turner' elicits his comment that he is fully aware of how a book works. This intelligent man of style takes a moment to recline on a leather settee and share some food for thought as lounge music is played. Examples of his musing include, 'What size is the Queen's bed?', 'What happens if you spill carpet cleaner?' and 'Isn't Venison deer?' Just when the audience's goodwill is built up, Carr intentionally seeks to dissipate this by telling a joke at the finale that is so gross but yet so strangely funny. As he predicts, it's the only joke any of the audience will remember when pals ask to hear a gag from the show. The fact that Carr does not baulk from representing some of our generation's most unpalatable issues and succeeds in turning them into humour makes this a night of classic contemporary comedy.
Paedophilia, gay sex, masturbation, religion, the Ipswich prostitute murders, third world poverty- nothing is out of bounds for Jimmy Carr. He managed to keep his Oxford New Theatre full house laughing with him throughout his act and actively encouraged hecklers.
Jimmy is a first rate comedian who has had an enormous number of successes since 2002 - with many Best Stand Up and Edinburgh Festival Awards. A web biography suggests he has a claim to be the first comedian in cyberspace in the Guinness Book of World Records. He has been on television a great deal and has issued at least three of his own stand-up DVDs. He is a talented writer as well as performer and has hosted shows such as Distraction in the States as well as in the UK.
Both parts of Repeat Offender start with short humorous films starring Jimmy himself. The first is a new approach to advice on starting to have sex and also on the Green Cross Code. The second features Jimmy as a flasher. They are clearly designed to enable late comers to find their seats without causing too much disruption. When he does appear he is very good at back chat with his audience.
Jimmy has a new approach to many types of humour. He has his own answers to kids' jokes such as "What is black and white and red all over?" Some of his humour is self deprecating, such as talking of his reviews and of his worst hecklers. I particularly liked his spin on why men are needed in a relationship in these days of artificial insemination.
Jimmy is such a slick operator that you begin to wonder if some of the hecklers are planted. In fact, I think the man is extremely quick witted, hard working and talented and would recommend any broad minded adult to take the first opportunity to see this show. He will be back at the New Theatre on April 17th 2008.

The House System at Enstone Primary School
On entry to school our pupils are placed in one of four houses: Earth, Air, Fire or Water. Each house has a House Captain and Vice Captain.
Pupils may be awarded house points for many reasons, including academic, sporting or musical achievements or exemplary behaviour. Each term the houses compete to gain the most house points and win the House Trophy, which is then decorated with ribbons in the house colours. At the end of each academic year the house with the highest overall number of house points has their name engraved on the House Shield.
We take lots of opportunities to get together in our houses, to have fun and strengthen our bonds. It's a great way for the younger children to get to know their older peers.
Our House Emblems
House Festival
Every year we have a House Festival where we get together in our houses to perform songs and present art projects, as well as making individual entries into the competition. In 2022 Air House won the House Festival trophy. The theme for the festival was STEM (Science, Engineering, Technology and Maths) and our tasks and songs all related to this. Air House wowed us with their performance of "Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines" complete with acrobatic dance routine!
Virtual House Festival 2021
In 2021 our House Festival had to go "virtual", due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Although many of the usual House Festival activities had to be suspended for this year, we still invited our pupils to enter work across a range of categories. Classes 1 and 2 produced models and collages of endangered birds and Classes 3 and 4 produced posters promoting the concept of "Growth Mindset". We set two additional challenges which were open to all age groups. The first was to create an artwork on the theme of "Kindness" - this was open to any interpretation. The second was to take part in a range of physical and sporting activities (within lockdown guidelines) and share photographs of these with us. There was a great range of activities represented in this last category, proving that Enstone pupils are still keen to get out and keep fit, despite the current restrictions and the cold weather!
Please click on the video link to learn which was the winning house and then view the slideshows below to enjoy some more of the lovely work that our pupils created.

Past champ Dowling among semifinalists at Connecticut Am
by Connecticut State Golf Association
see also: View results for Connecticut Amateur, Hartford Golf Club
Richard Dowling (CSGA photo)
The beauty of the 117-year-old Connecticut Amateur Championship is that it welcomes all amateurs who are willing to qualify, willing to walk, and willing, if things go well, to play a marathon of golf in a week. It says—to college players, teenage phenoms and working stiffs alike—let the chips fall where they may.
This year they fell all over the place.
The 2019 semi-finalists come from all parts of the state and all parts of that competitive field. They'll play 18 in the morning Friday to set up an 18-hole final in the afternoon. (The final has been shortened from 36 because of Tuesday's 5-hour, 20-minute rain delay.)
Semifinalists include a former champion, Rick Dowling of Golf Performance Center, whose first priority is building a start-up business, Junior Golf Hub, but who still thrives on competition. Thursday afternoon Dowling defeated Jamie Sheltman of Alling Memorial, an Amtrak supervisor, who has been a contender in every championship he's played in for the past two years.
Dowling will play Seth Egnasko, 43, an insurance actuary who calculated his odds of making it to the final day as remote. It's the first time he's reached match play. Egnasko is a fairly recent convert to competitive golf, having only built a game that could compete in CSGA competitive since his 30s.
In the other bracket they include two UConn teammates: Senior Chandler Morris, of the golfing Morrises, who defeated Hartford teenager Matthew Chorches, from a family that doesn't play. Chorches has learned so well in the past five years that he hopes to play at the University of Tampa next year.
Now Morris will face UConn junior Finn Boynton, who defeated UConn alum Chris Delucia, in the only match that went 18 holes. Hey, it's the UConn bracket.
In the morning round of 16 all but one match went at least 17 holes. One went 21 holes. Only Morris won easily, 5 and 3 over Wheeler Park Golf Club's Dave "Dewey" Renski.
Sheltman beat 2018 Junior Amateur Champion Connor Belcastro, 3 and 1, coming from three holes down on the front nine.
Lindholm, of Sacred Heart, defeated AJ Sanzaro of Assumption College in a match marked by 15 birdies. "We both shot 66, pretty amazing." Lindholm, a 6'5" marketing major from Montclair, N.J. won on the par-5 third, with a birdie.
Egnasko took out 2018 Tournament of Champions winner Patrick Griffin of Indian Hill Country Club, 2 and 1.
Of the four teenagers who made the round of 16 only Chorches advanced to afternoon quarterfinals. He eliminated 2017 Palmer Cup Champion and 2018 U.S. Mid-Am competitor Ben Day, with an almost magical finish. Churches birdied three of the final four holes, including the 249-yard, par-3 16th, where he hit a hooking three wood to two feet. Then, when Day birdied the 17th and the 18th to apparently force a playoff, Chorches made a 13-foot birdie on top of Day's to win.
Delucia defeated Darien High junior Calvin Smith in a match that changed hands nearly every other hole and in which their better-ball score would set a course record.
Boynton beat 16-year-old Matt Doyle of Madison, the Division II CIAC individual champion, two up.
Tomorrow: The UConn Two, Morris and Boynton, say they are looking forward to their match-up. "It's going to be awesome!" said a happy Finn Boynton at the end of the day. "We compete all the time. We'll go at it. It'll be fun.
Morris said he'd approach it as he did today's rounds. "This is a hard golf course," he said."You have to be patient. Today I mostly played stroke play. I played the golf course. I'm looking forward to playing Finn." Boynton won against Delucia—member of another accomplished Connecticut golfing family—by reversing a three-down deficit on the front with birdies on Nos. 10, 11 and 12, eventually winning two up. Expect those kinds of streaks between the teammates tomorrow.
The non-collegians are a different kind of pairing: One who is just happy to be there—sometimes a formula for great, pressure-free golf—and one who had his eyes set on the final from day one.
"I always come in hoping to play my best and get all the way to the final," said the understated 2017 Champion Dowling, who made match play last year but was upset in the round of 32. "But match play is funny." Something all four agreed upon.

Carnival Horizon to Feature New Guy Fieri Barbecue Venue
Modified Date: Oct 11, 2017
Rendering by: Carnival Cruise Line
Carnival Horizon is the next cruise ship to join the Carnival Cruise Line fleet and it will feature a brand new full-service barbecue venue.
Carnival Horizon will be the second Vista-class cruise ship when it enters service next year and Carnival Cruise Line has revealed a brand new venue which will be onboard. Guy Fieri who already has partnered with the cruise line with the popular Guys Burger Joint and Guy's Pig & Anchor Bar-B-Que and now a new Guy's Pig & Anchor Bar-B-Que Smokehouse|Brewhouse will feature on Carnival Horizon.
Guy Fieri said:
"I'm excited about launching my newest shipboard eatery at Carnival. I know what it takes to make real-deal barbecue – quality meats smoked 'low and slow' and top-notch sides using the freshest ingredients. And when you combine down-home barbecue with a cold beer brewed right on board, you have a truly outta bounds experience!"
Guy's Pig & Anchor Bar-B-Que Smokehouse|Brewhouse will be an expansion to the smaller BBQ venues on some other ships in the fleet. The venue will also feature a brewery just like sister ship Carnival Vista. There will be authentic BBQ choices and home-brewed craft beer which guests can enjoy.
The Carnival Smokehouse Menu Will Include:
The restaurant will include favorites like brisket custom-smoked for 12 hours, Memphis-style baby back ribs, dry-rubbed and grill-finished chicken, pulled pork, and cedar-smoked salmon with an apricot glaze, all cooked "low and slow" using Fieri's signature rubs and spices. There will be a choice of Fieri's signature dishes and sides. The chefs own tasty sources will also be available at Guy's Pig & Anchor Bar-B-Que Smokehouse|Brewhouse.

Guy's Pig & Anchor Bar-B-Que Smokehouse|Brewhouse will be located on the ships promenade deck with inside and outside seating areas. The venue will have 138 seats with the restaurant open from 5:00 PM on an a la carte basis. A free-of-charge self-service BBQ lunch buffet from noon to 2:30 p.m. on embarkation day and sea days.
Carnival Horizon will be delivered in 2018 with its maiden voyage departing Barcelona on a 12-night Meditterane cruise on April 2. The ship will be based out of New York for the Summer season before sailing year-round from Miami, Florida beginning September 2018.


NEW BATTERY literally like not even 24 hours old. (purchased 7/1/14) it is now 7/2/14.
tried jumping it and luckily it worked, brought it to auto zone they tested battery came back as bad battery, replaced battery and tested car again with the new battery and the starter and alternator both came back as passed.
(personal email removed) or reply here!
OK - Took out your personal email or you could get spammed to death.
Car: Yikes - enough miles for sure. Head gasket, using oil and coolant like no tomorrow and seems hard to start now for you and no surprise there.
In taking battery out or going totally dead the car lost its memory on how to hold an idle with no doubt maxed out issues to try to cover and hard to start also for same reason.
With all those problems you really should think about a compression test to see just how bad this is to even limp it along a while longer IMO. Use some coolant if you possibly can and keep oil within safe zone. It's an opinion not a judgment on you at all but I think this engine is over. If the car in general is otherwise exceptional consider a whole exact used engine from a reputable salvage yard and even that costs and can have snags to get out.
Not sure what your pointing out in your video, but there seems to be a scraping noise right before the engine starts. Is that the noise your concerned about?


I was wondering if there could be a way to roll a series of dice and have them display as a line, instead of having them automatically sum.
I've been looking at some other game systems and for many of them deal with dice in a way that isn't just "roll a few, add them up, compare to a target."
For example, [roll]6d10[/roll] gets you [roll0]. When you mouse over it, you see the six different rolls. It would be nice if you could have a different notation to just get that series of dice rolls, instead of having to hover. Obviously, you can do the same thing with just [roll1][roll2][roll3][roll4][roll5][roll6], but that's kind of silly.
While I'm making stupid requests, it would also be nice if there was a way to have them automatically ordered, and maybe also a way to handle exploding dice, maybe?
So something like [roll]6x10[/roll] would get you a series of six d10 rolls, while [roll]6x10o[/roll] would have them in order from lowest to highest, and maybe [roll]6x10e10[/roll] would have the 10s explode?
I mean, you can definitely do all of this manually, it would just be cool if there was a way that was integrated into the dice roller.
Beyond my capabilities to go into the dice roller and change things. I'm a convict, not a coder. If I could I would have already made it more White Wolf friendly, as it is my game system of choice.
Could we maybe get someone else to do it? I remember some snippets of code being thrown around in the dice thread.
I mean this is super low priority and I'm not going to demand someone do it, obviously. Just if it was possible and someone felt like it.
Or something, I dunno. Maybe I've jinxed it.
e: I have no clue about the feasibility of any of this and it's probably a dumb idea just thinking aloud.
Well not aloud but you know what I mean.
No snark intended but is it really that hard to just do 1d10 six times and just copy and paste the code? As far as amount of typing and time is concerned I think it would be as efficient as the alternative code your refering to.
Look I don't actually have much to do besides bother people about inane things.
e: For serious though, something like [roll]6x10oe10[/roll] would be nicer than [roll]1d10[/roll] six times, then another post if any of them come up as 10s (possibly multiple times if you're lucky), plus some futzing around with reordering them, even if it's just in your head.
It's super extra low priority, but it would still be pretty nifty.
e2: Alternatively, maybe a way to edit in rolls, as long as its explicitly noted? I think this is really just my OCD flaring up or something.
Wait... wouldn't you still have to make another post if you got 10s?
He wants a function that will detect a 10 and automatically roll another die for it in the same post.
This is what I get for giving him the strikethrough, it just encouraged him.
It would take me all of a handful of minutes to write up the code to do this sort of thing in python. I don't suppose that the current dice roller is written in python though, is it?
PHP, and I'm investigating the intricacies of how these things are shoe-horned into the bulletin board software. It isn't as straight forward as writing the die roller code.
It's not that difficult to do this, but it would be to do so with the roll tags.
Just create a new function command that rolls dice in the fashion that he's asking for, assuming someone is interested in doing it, that's separate from the [roll] command.
