Guitar Hero World Tour Adds Drums
In the all-out battle of the bands in video game land, it looks like Activision's Guitar Hero is stepping back into the ring this fall --along with drums and a microphone --to do battle with Rock Band. The drums kit, sporting two crash cymbals, appears to be a bit more complex than RockBand's. They're also velocity sensitive; so the harder you hit 'em, the louder they are.
Guitar Hero World Tour also promises the ability to record your own singles, though no one really knows what that means. Oh, and in case you didn't guess, Guitar Hero World Tour is incompatible with existing RockBand gear. So choose wisely! Check out the promo trailer courtesy of YouTube along with videos of real drummers Stewart Copeland (The Police) and Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers) wailing away on plastic drums.

Jimmy Thackery at Moe's Alley
Blues legend Jimmy Thackery played this weekend at the Santa Cruz Blues Festival as well as a Saturday night show at Moe's Alley. Thackery made his name with the Nighthawks in Washington DC, and branched out on his own in the late '80s. He's played with the likes of Buddy Guy, Muddy Waters, Otis Rush and James Cotton and developed his own raw guitar style that combines a range of influences, whether its Texas Blues, R&B or good ol' roots Rock & Roll.
Now touring as a power trio, Thackery and his worn-to-the-wood Stratocaster are center stage. Let's be clear: he's a guitar god. But not just in one genre. In a 3 hour set, he's pulling from every musical style. Whether it's a soulful cut like "Dazes in May" that would not be out of place in a 50's surf combo to "Solid Ice" that sounds like it belongs on Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon," Thackery does it all. He's getting a symphony out of his Strat, playing rhythm, melody, fills, soaring leads and insane guityrotechnics in homage to Hendrix. I don't think he broke into a sweat all night.
By Saturday's gig, Thackery's vocals were a bit rough --he sounded like he'd been run over by the Marlboro Man. But most of the show was instrumental, which was just fine for the legion guitar fans. Drummer Mark Stutso did a fine job on vocals for a number of rock and blues numbers. Overall this was the best gig I've seen all year. Thackery and his trio are touring through the summer hitting major festivals and blues clubs around the country.
I've posted some photos and video on PicasaWeb and YouTube. Unfortunately the video came out a bit grainy since the lighting wasn't that good. If you were at either of his shows in Santa Cruz this weekend, feel free to add comments to the blog and let me know what you thought.

Kid Andersen Live at Biscuits & Blues
I had the pleasure of seeing Chris "Kid" Andersen and his band play at San Francisco's Biscuits & Blues club last week. Biscuits & Blues remains one of my favorite clubs in the bay area. It's a good location in the city, great live music, friendly staff and and good spicy southern food. Kid and his band played a number of original songs as well as some traditional numbers, ranging in style from slow burning blues to some more rocking numbers as well as a few humorous songs from his CD "Rock a While" and his most recent CD "Greaseland." Kid has a great stage presence and was funny as heck in his between-song ramblings.
I managed to get some decent photos as well as some video with my trusty Cannon G9 which I've posted on PicasaWeb and YouTube.
Kid and his band are at Biscuits & Blues the first Tuesday of every month. Or if you're in Norway and have a time machine, watch for an extensive tour in June... 2006. Hmmm... I guess Kid needs to update his web site.

Get the Led Out!
Normally, I'm pretty skeptical of tribute CDs. Who wants to hear a bunch of covers of classic rock songs that are usually inferior to the originals? So I was pleasantly surprised --ok, more like blown away-- by a Led Zep salute called "Get the Led Out" issued by Bohemian Productions (BHP Music). Bohemian Productions is an artist-run label headed by instrumental guitarist Brian Tarquin. The label includes a range of prog-rock guitar virtuosos such as Chris Mahoney, James Ryan, Steve Morse, Allan Holdsworth, Zakk Wylde and others.
"Get the Led Out" features a dozen classic Led Zeppelin tracks plus 4 bonus tracks featuring Jimmy Page. What makes the CD really shine is that these are all instrumentals re-interpretations. Now you might never have wondered what the heck Led Zep would sound like without Robert Plant, but if they were prog rock instrumental band as envisioned by Brian Tarquin, they would sound pretty amazing.
Chris Mahoney starts the disk off with a rockin', stompin' version of "Whole Lotta Love" that is every bit as good as the original, but still has a unique flavor. Other great cuts include "Moby Dick" by Randy Coven and Leslie West, "Dazed and Confused" by Brian Tarquin, an inspired acoustic version of "Kashmir" by Martin Winch, and another all-out rocker "Black Dog" by James Ryan. James Ryan's guitar work is amazing and his solo couldn't be out-wah'd if you tried. Some of the cuts like "Four Sticks" and "Friends" seemed a bit out of place to me, but that's probably got to do more with my own tastes and preferences than anything else.
I must admit, I had high expectations for the bonus tracks and was a little disappointed upon first listen. Musically they are awesome; Jimmy Page's playing is as good as ever. But three of the tracks have vocals by David "Screeming Lord" Sutch, and lets just say there's a reason Robert Plant did the vocals in Led Zep. Sutch's style is more suited to garage band than classic rock and he is clearly outmatched by the rest of the band. Still as a bonus they're worth checking out. And the final track, "Burn Up," with Keith DeGroot on vocals, is a great addition and an interesting musical departure for Page et al. It would be interesting to get a few cuts from this session.
"Get the Led Out" is a testament to the lasting power of Led Zep and the versatility of the music. Overall, it's a must-have disk for Zepellin fans; and if you're a fan of prog rock, it's doubly good. In an upcoming post, I'll take a look at BHP's "Guitar Masters Vol. 1" CD.
Also, sideways media has announced a drawing where you can enter to win copies of both "Get the Led Out" and "Guitar Masters Vol. 1". Check it out!

Boston: Summer Tour, New Vocalist
I still remember back in 1976 when a band called Boston came out of nowhere with a slate of hit singles: More Than a Feeling, Peace of Mind, Long Time... Their self-titled first album became the best-selling debut in history, ultimately selling more than 17 million copies. Boston's music was immediately recognizable with Tom Scholz's soaring melodies and huge guitar riffs combined with Brad Delp's dramatic vocals. While the band was never prolific --it was 10 years before they released their third album --their music has never left classic rock radio. Their 2004 release, Corporate America, was well received and included an updated, but still recognizable, sound, with vocal duties shared between Brad Delp, bass player Fran Cosmo and his son and guitar player Antony Cosmo.
Scholtz, an MIT-trained electrical engineer, recorded the demos for Boston's first album playing every instrument but the drums and chucked a career at Polaroid when the album started getting airplay. Known as a perfectionist in the studio, Scholz racked up more then 3 dozen patents, including the Rockman family of amplifiers and effects. Scholz is putting finishing touches on a re-mastered Greatest Hits collection and there's also the hint of a new studio album next year.
With the unfortunate passing of vocalist Brad Delp in 2007, it seemed as if another Boston tour was unlikely. But things have now come together with Michael Sweet from Stryper and a relatively unknown vocalist Tommy DeCarlo, a dead-ringer for Delp's vocal style, who recorded tribute songs after Delp's death.
Boston will be on tour this summer with more than 40 dates in North America starting June 6 in Thunder Bay, Ontario. Many, but not all, of the gigs will be with Styx, another blast from the past.

Tonerider Pickups
I just learned about a fairly new company from China called Tonerider that specializes in vintage style pickups designed by Brad Ferguson as well as a new line of effects pedals. I just recently put a new Seymour Duncan single coil pickup to replace the fairly weak EMG in my Steinberger Spirit and I wish I'd heard of Tonerider a few months ago. I probably would have gone with their Classic Blues single coil instead. Nothing wrong with the Duncan, but it would have been an opportunity to try something different. They've also got "lefty" pickups coming on May 15. Heck, I didn't even know there was such a thing!
Has anyone else used Toneriders? The reviews look good, but right now there's not that many dealers stocking them. Still, they appear to be well-designed and a good value. Maybe I'll check out one of the effects pedals in the coming months. Too bad I didn't know about these guys earlier. Heck I was on vacation in China last year; I could have done a factory visit!

Michel goes to a horse race and steals some money from a spectator. He leaves the racetrack confident that he was not caught when he is suddenly arrested. The inspector releases Michel because the evidence is not strong enough. Michel soon falls in with a small group of professional pickpockets who teach him their trade and invite him to join them on highly coordinated pickpocketing sprees in crowded public areas.


EVERY ACT OF READING PERFORMS THE WORK is a monolithic virtual reality sculpture that is the repository of accumulated inquiries into The National and its cultural, interpersonal and historical ambiences.
The project has been enabled through a creative research partnership with Dr Andrew Burrell / Speculative Narratives and Networks Studio, Faculty of Design, Architecture and Building, University of Technology Sydney and supported by research assistant Alexandra Chalmers Braithwaite.
Mentored by John Maynard of Felix Media. Ongoing production by Stella Maynard.
The artist wishes to thank Elizabeth Pulie, Zoe Robertson, Brian Fuata, Amanda Rowell, Ross Harley and the UNSW Art & Design Makerspace, in particular Karam Hussein and Jim Ward.
Agatha Gothe-Snape was a Resident Artist at UNSW Art & Design in 2018.
Agatha Gothe-Snape is represented by The Commercial, Sydney.
Based in improvisational performance, the meeting point between artistic process and social and historical context is a central theme in Agatha GotheSnape's work. It takes many forms: performances (including dance), PowerPoint slide shows, workshops, texts (including correspondence, short poetic texts and headlines both appropriated and improvised), visual scores and collaboratively produced art objects.
Agatha Gothe-Snape appreciates a blank page as much as any artist; she's always worked with drawing and text. But she also understands the irony of that opportunity: what has not already been written? Take the Every Artist Remembered series (2008–), the starting point for this current work; its interactions between Gothe-Snape and various artists remind us that a key function of writing is capturing memories. Like gigantic laundry lists on Arches paper, these seemingly detached recapitulations of artists' names signify intimate connections between artists across time and space. They capture the glorious arbitrariness of affiliation, but also the ineradicable mark it makes.
How is this achieved? By playing with VR. During 2018–19, Gothe-Snape has been artist-in-residence at the VR Makerspace at UNSW Art & Design in Sydney. (3) There she's using Tilt Brush, a three-dimensional painting program from Google that offers a blank page and a black marker (though it was intended for painting in colour, with many special effects). (4) Working in VR seems Gothe-Snape's natural habitat: it offers 'gesture, writing, body, time', her constant companions, and infinite variation. (5) The multidimensional physicality of VR lets her swim among her words, dive under her notes, see them from above, behind, obliquely. It's a radical breakthrough, exhilarating, as I know from personal experience. Gothe-Snape says previous projects with text have been, in a sense, data analysis; this is much more. Once again she will interview artists, but these notated conversations will grow into 'accumulative galaxies', whole constellations of interrelated ideas that vary with the viewer's standpoint. As do all ideas.
The riotous non-hierarchical relationships between these multitudinous texts take me back to painting. The trailer Gothe-Snape has made is composed of words and phrases, yet its sensual willfulness most closely resembles the 'formlessness' invoked to describe the dissident modernism of Lucio Fontana or Jackson Pollock. More, it recalls Georges Bataille's celebrated provocation: 'affirming that the universe resembles nothing and is only informe [formless] amounts to saying that the universe is something like a spider or spit'. (6) It is precisely the tension between webs of meaning and uncertainty that Agatha Gothe-Snape is exploring here.

Q: Unsure if I should split my subclasses I have a text file that reads in information of various employees.
I've  created two array list that are based on the years of an Employee object. The Employee has two subclasses, Salesman and Executive. I'm wondering how I should split it by commas if there's two subclasses, since I can't call the super class
Here's the employee class
public class Employee
{
private String name;
private double monthlySalary;

public Employee(String line)
{
    String[]split=line.split(",");
    name=split[0];
    monthlySalary=Double.parseDouble(split[1]);
}

public String getName() {
    return name;
}

public void setName(String name) {
    this.name = name;
}

public double getMonthlySalary() {
    return monthlySalary;
}

public void setMonthlySalary(double monthlySalary) {
    this.monthlySalary = monthlySalary;
}

public double annualSalary()
{
    return monthlySalary*12;
}

public String toString()
{
    String str;
    str="Name: "+name;
    str+="\nMonthly Salary: "+monthlySalary;
    return str;
}
}

The Salesman class
public class Salesman extends Employee
{
private double annualSales;

public Salesman(String name, double monthlySalary, double annualSales)
{
    super(name,monthlySalary);
    this.annualSales=annualSales;
}

public double getAnnualSales() {
    return annualSales;
}

public void setAnnualSales(double annualSales) {
    this.annualSales = annualSales;
}

public double annualSalary()
{
    double commision=annualSales*0.02;
    if (commision>20000)
    {
        commision=20000;
    }
    double totalSalary=super.annualSalary()+commision;
    return totalSalary;
}

public String toString()
{
    return super.toString()+"\nAnnual Sales: "+annualSales;
}
}

The Executive class
public class Executive extends Employee
{
private double stockPrice;

public Executive(String name, double monthlySalary, double stockPrice)
{
    super(name,monthlySalary);
    this.stockPrice=stockPrice;
}

public double getStockPrice() {
    return stockPrice;
}

public void setStockPrice(double stockPrice) {
    this.stockPrice = stockPrice;
}

public double annualSalary()
{
    double bonus=0;
    if(stockPrice>50)
    {
        bonus=30000;
    }
    double totalSalary=super.annualSalary()+bonus;
    return totalSalary;
}

public String toString()
{
    return super.toString()+"\nStock Price: "+stockPrice;
}
}

And the driver class
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class employeeDriver
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
    String input;
    Scanner readInput=null;
    Scanner readFile = null;

    try
    {
        readFile=new Scanner(new File("C:\\mywork\tester.txt"));
    }
    catch(FileNotFoundException e)
    {
        System.out.println("The file can't be opened");
        System.exit(0);
    }
    List<Employee> firstList= new ArrayList<>();
    List<Employee> secondList= new ArrayList<>();

    while(readFile.hasNextLine())
    {
      //To be inserted
    }
}

}

A: I with split method you mean something that parse the file, I think you should place this login in another class, that have nothing to do with Employee.
This could be something like ParseEmployeeFile or ScanEmpoyeeFile, with a method parse() or scan().
This method should return a standard record, a List or a Map, depends on your needs.
From this record you should be able to create the proper Employee.
To do that, you need what is called a Factory class.
This is a class that contains the logic to create the proper Employee subclass object.
For example:
class EmployeeFactory {

    public static Employee create(Record record) {

        if (record.get("annualSales") != null) {
            return new Salesman(record.get("name"),
                                record.get("monthlySalary"),
                                record.get("annualSales"));
        }

        if (record.get("stockPrice") != null) {
            return new Executive(record.get("name"),
                                record.get("monthlySalary"),
                                record.get("stockPrice"));
        }

       return new Employee(record.get("name"),
                           record.get("monthlySalary"));
    }
}

This can be improved as needed.

A: I guess the input text file contains lines and each of them consists of information of an employee concatenated with commas, like csv file.
In my opinion, you should not use String#split() in the Employee and its subclasses code. After reading file completed in success, then split every line into each attributes (like name and monthlySalary), and then pass them to constructors of Employee or its subclasses.
By clearly distinguishing getting information of the file with making Employee objects, Employee class becomes robuster. For example, please assume information to create Employee objects came from another format (like xml file)? You cannot cope with that easily if you call String#split() inside of Employee's constructor!

Are Innovative High-Tech Toilet Seats a Benefit to Mankind?
How can you make your intimate and private moments of your life a little bit more comfortable? How can you make sure you enjoy the intimately private moments of your life? What kind of products and fixtures will you need? We are talking about upgrading your toilet experience, of course!
So, how do you upgrade your toilet experience? With state-of-the-art toilet technology!
Behold, the high-tech toilets! Ladies and gentlemen, we give you the 21st century's "super toilet" or as it is called high-tech toilets. These tech marvels are available in a range of prices and in a plethora of styles to suit your wants and needs. The purpose of toilet seat system is engineered for luxury, comfort, ease, cleanliness, and needless to say plain fun. But while an automated lid or a built-in sound system technology may seem to make potty time fun (hey, at least for the kids), does it offer any benefit to mankind? Well, let us have a look at what these toilet marvels have got to offer.
The smart toilet system comes with an abundance of technology, some that may even seem to be unnecessary. But, most super toilets come with a "WaterSense" technology which means that your tech toilet uses less water to maintain the highest efficiency possible. This translates into less water usage, which is ultimately good for the environment.
Conventional toilet seats are super-frigid in cold winter mornings, whereas, tech toilets are equipped with an electrically warmed seat, which makes doing the morning business a toasty and comfortable experience. They are equipped with seat and feet warmers, in addition to having motion-activated, hands-free seat and cover. Typically, the smart toilet systems contain a built-in, Bluetooth-enabled speaker device, that allows you to pair your toilet to the smartphone. Talk about toilet technology! Someone in for a musical morning? Well, say hello to the high-tech toilets!
Many tech toilets incorporate a handsfree bidet function, which promises a "natural, purifying experience that will leave you clean and happy," according to Japanese toilet manufacturer Toto's Washlet toilet. Many high-tech commodes boast of a remote-control operation with wall-mounted touchscreen remote, heated seat, and a soothing water spray customized to your preference of water temperature and an adjustable warm air dryer. If that's not enough, these wonder toilets are equipped with air deodorizer, a self-cleaning bowl and nozzle, a body sensor for automatic lid opening and closing, and not one but three ways to flush—manual, remote control operation or automatic (touchless flush, or the "no-touch" flush).
Oh, and not to mention the built-in night lights that cause the toilet bowl to glow with a comforting blue light (or whatever light you prefer, really) that looks both calming and inviting at night. Talk about a cool experience! Toilet manufacturers such as Kohler makes several toilet seats with not only this built-in nightlight feature but also all the aforementioned tech features. Do they benefit mankind? Well, yes, to say the least!
So, what do you need to do to own a super toilet system? Such high-tech toilets definitely don't come cheap, and you will need to dig really deep in your pockets because they can cost upwards of (drumroll please) $8000! Well, the good news is only the super high-end costs this much. If you want a high end toilet experience, then they are available for less than this also, although you may have to forgo on some of the comforting experience. What's more, you will be the owner of a tech toilet whose functions can be customized according to your preferences and have a "home spa" like experience, including a heated seat, every time you do your private business!

Seth MacFarlane's 'The Orville' Renewed For A Second Season
By Ben Pearson/Nov. 2, 2017 12:00 pm EST
Set your phasers to stunned: Seth MacFarlane's live-action sci-fi series The Orville has been renewed for a second season.
After the first few episodes received largely negative reviews from critics, I admittedly wrote off this show as something that was sure to be cancelled after one season. But it turns out that's not the case. MacFarlane took to Twitter to announce that we are definitely going to get The Orville season 2 and to thank the fans for making it happen:
My gut reaction upon seeing this news was that Fox simply wanted to keep MacFarlane happy by giving this show a second season – after all, Family Guy has made that network some serious money, and MacFarlane has a long history there. But digging a little deeper, I was somewhat surprised to discover that The Orville has consistently performed well in the ratings, even proving itself able to withstand a shift from Sunday nights to Thursday nights on the schedule.
It started strong when 8 million people tuned into the pilot, and by the time DVR and online viewership numbers were factored in, The Orville became Fox's most-watched and highest-rated series premiere since Empire hit back in 2015. Since its debut, it's dropped down to around 3-4 million people for each episode, but that's still not too shabby for a show one critic described as "creatively, morally, and ethically bankrupt."
Early reactions dinged the show for being little more than a Star Trek rip-off, and its first few trailers seemed strategically designed to position the series as a comedy when it turns out MacFarlane is far more interested in exercising his dramatic muscles here. It seems he's also interested in shaking up the style of episodes as the season progresses. Back in August during a Television Critics Association panel promoting the series, he explained:
"One of the things I always look to as a Star Trek fan, there was an episode that was a big two part episode about the Borg. It was followed up the next week with a story about Picard going home to France to visit his brother at the winery. It was the same show and the stories couldn't be more different in tone. This is how TV should be. You should be able to write any kind of story each week and surprise your audience, but your characters remain intact and true to who they are."
Is there more to The Orville than meets the eye? Is this show actually worth watching? Let us know if you've been tuning in, and if you think the show deserves a second season.

Q: How to change number format for whole wordpress site? I need to change number format for my whole site as different country uses different formats like

*

*United States  — $1,234,567.89 USD

*Canada           — $1,234,567.89 CAD

*Great Britain   — £1.234.567,89 GBP

*European        — €1.234.567,89 EUR

By default it uses United State format but i need it to be European.
what i can do is use
number_format($number, 2, ',', '.');

this  simple function, which works fine for me, but i have to use it every time i am working with number,  And i need this to use for once like in wp-config.php  or function.php file and that will change the format for whole site.
Is it possible?

A: you can use wp filter for prepare common function in which you can define number format for different country.
apply_filters( 'number_format_i18n', change_number_format );
number format i18n
developer number format i18n

A: I assume the admin setting of the format is stored in the database.
Read that setting and use the values in constants
$setting = array();
$setting = get_option('formatsetting');
const PRECISION = $setting['precision'];
const DECIMALS  = $setting['decimals'];
const THOUSANDS = $setting['thousands'];

Then you can use number_format like this:
number_format($number, PRECISION, DECIMALS, THOUSANDS);

You can extend it to your needs.

A: Assuming that you're using WooCommerce..
You can create a filter that will modify the price's format and then to load it according to your language/currency.
function change_product_price_display( $price ) {
    if( $lang == 'EN' ) {
      $price = number_format( $price, 2, ',', '.' );
      return $price;
    }

    return $price;
}
add_filter( 'woocommerce_get_price_html', 'change_product_price_display' );
add_filter( 'woocommerce_cart_item_price', 'change_product_price_display' );

Boasting an ear splitting career spanning over a decade, Smilex are the band who
have done it all. Several releases on Quickfix Recordings (who discovered
Youthmovies) and spots on various compilations & singles clubs, including a split ep with The Young Knives & a collaboration with MC Lars, have made Smilex a band renowned within their native Oxford. Explosive live shows – betraying a tendency for reckless self-endangerment coupled with a drive to put the audience's experience above all else – have led local music bible Nightshift to dub Smilex "Oxford's one band Riot". Infamous live antics have caught the eyes and ears of musical types across the country, earning them the title of Playmusic's "best unsigned live act of 2010", whilst securing slots playing beneath (and raising the bar for) the likes of The Damned, The Dat suns, and The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster.Latest album 'La Petite Mort' rekindles the band's relationship with producer/mixer Ace of Skunk Anansie and promises to further bolster the band's reputation as a formidable force, offering a fresh take on all that has came to be known as 'alternative rock'. Combining occasional pop-punk hooks, with the grit of early Pixies and Jane's Addiction, Smilex offers a dose of nostalgia to those old enough to remember the alternative rock dominance of the 90's, whilst introducing all the best bits of the decade to younger listeners. Far from being yet another derivative rock act however, Smilex have crafted their own unique brand of rock throughout their career - creating a matrimony between punk, metal and rock, catering to the taste of anyone who likes
British guitar rock with added blood and guts.

Banned and Challenged: Restricting access to books in the U.S. | NPR
Banned Books: Author Ashley Hope Pérez on finding humanity in the 'darkness'
Ashley Hope Pérez published Out of Darkness in 2015 to critical acclaim. The novel re-contextualized contemporary issues of race providing a historical framework in a not-so-post-racial America.

| Posted on December 14, 2022, 5:07 AM
This discussion with Ashley Hope Pérez is part of a series of interviews with — and essays by — authors who are finding their books being challenged and banned in the U.S.
Carolrhoda Lab
Ashley Hope Pérez is the author of the award-winning Out of Darkness, a young adult novel that has faced challenges and bans in the U.S. in recent years.
Pérez — who is a comparative literature professor at The Ohio State University in addition to having authored three novels — centers her writing on Latin American narratives, making space for young Latino readers to see themselves in her work. She published Out of Darkness in 2015, a year that invoked a national conversation surrounding issues of race, environmental racism, racialized violence and police brutality.
Out of Darkness is based on a true-events: In 1937, a natural gas explosion at a school in New London, Texas, killed nearly 300 students and teachers — one of the deadliest school disasters in U.S. history. This historical context is foregrounded by the fictional love story between an African American boy and a Mexican American girl. The characters cross color lines and navigate familial tensions and traumas.
The novel re-contextualizes contemporary issues of race, providing a historical framework in a not-so-post-racial America. After many years on bookshelves, in 2021 this frank portrayal earned the book a spot on the American Library Association (ALA) Banned Book List for "depictions of abuse and because it was considered to be sexually explicit."
The interview below has been edited for length and clarity.
On writing about the human experience, even the hard parts
Out of Darkness, like many works of literature, engages with all kinds of aspects of human experience. And as a literature professor myself, I can tell you that literature from the Bible to Chaucer to Shakespeare to Faulkner deals with difficult topics because those aspects of life are the materials literature... it's not to be provocative or to distress anyone, but because when we want to write about human experience honestly and completely, we have to include the pain of being a person. And so I think that Out of Darkness is literature. And in many ways, what book banners in the present moment are suggesting is that literature that honestly engages human experience is somehow inappropriate for teenagers. And when we hear things like 'there is pornographic content in school libraries,' what we're really hearing is engagement with human experience, such as sexual experience — we're hearing that being portrayed as pornographic. But that's not that's not that's not true of Out of Darkness or the other books that have been vilified in this movement any more than it's true of the Bible being pornographic because it has sexual content.
On books about the past being resonant in the present
With Out of Darkness I was trying to do something a little bit different, which was to write the historical novel that readers like my students wouldn't be able to put down. A historical novel that, though being about the past, would seem powerfully resonant with their lives. In Out of Darkness, for example, I engaged the histories of school segregation in Texas, not just the ways that schools were segregated to separate Black Americans and white American students, but also what happened to Mexican American kids or anyone who was didn't fit into those categories. Texas had "Mexican schools" that were unequal in different ways and in some ways more damaging. And my students didn't know that history. So I thought with Out of Darkness about what my former students would want in a book about the past so that it would speak to them now. And a lot of what they wanted was honesty, not to see things sugarcoated or sanitized.
On bans overwhelmingly targeting authors who are marginalized
There will be people who buy the book because of hearing this interview. But for the hundreds of authors whose works have been banned but who haven't been interviewed on NPR, this can be career ending. I mean, losing access to school and library markets can be career ending for authors. And since these bans are overwhelmingly targeting people — authors of color and authors with other marginalized identities, this is a real threat to the modest progress we've made in diversifying children's literature and literature for young adults.
Transcript :
"Out Of Darkness" is a historical novel set in 1937 in the oil-rich region of East Texas. A natural gas leak caused an explosion at a school, killing nearly 300 students and teachers. Ashley Hope Perez uses this backdrop to tell a fictional story of what was back then considered a forbidden love between an African American boy and a Mexican American girl. It's a story about race, power and class. When it came out in 2015, it received wide recognition in young adult literature, but last year it started to get pulled from some libraries when a parent at a Texas school board meeting complained about sexually explicit content. Video of that parent's rant went viral and turned into a nightmare for the author. Perez says her book was taken out of context, much like other books that have been targeted by conservative groups.
ASHLEY HOPE PEREZ: We have seen over and over that the sexual content is a pretext. You know, folks know they cannot show up to a school board meeting in 2022 and say, I don't want queer kids in my kid's class.
SCHMITZ: The paperback version of "Out Of Darkness" exposes the racial backgrounds of the central characters.
PEREZ: There's a Black boy and a Mexican American girl on the front. You hold that book up and say, this is disgusting pornographic trash, and you are telegraphing a powerful message to students who share those identities, right?
SCHMITZ: Perez says book banning as it's unfolding right now is really not about the actual books. Oftentimes, parents calling for book bans haven't even read the material. The books are a tool, she says, that become part of a coordinated strategy for signaling opposition to certain identities.
PEREZ: The book banners and the spaces where they share information and they say, show up, say this - they're very clear. They're - I even have seen a Facebook post that someone shared with me where the poster is explicitly reminding people, don't talk about race or sexual orientation. Remember, you have to focus on the sexual content.
SCHMITZ: Texas has the most book bans of any state, according to PEN America, which advocates for freedom of expression. By PEN America's official count, Perez tells me that her book has been banned 29 times.
PEREZ: "Out Of Darkness," like many works of literature, engages with all kinds of aspects of human experience. And as a literature professor myself, I can tell you that, you know, literature, from the Bible to Chaucer to Shakespeare to Faulkner, deals with difficult topics because those aspects of life are the material of literature. You know, it's not to be provocative or to distress anyone, but because when we want to write about human experience honestly and completely, we have to include the pain of being a person. And so I think that in many ways, what book banners in the present moment are suggesting is that literature that honestly engages human experience is somehow inappropriate for teenagers.
SCHMITZ: You became a published author after years of teaching high school English, and you said you wanted to give your students the books they said they wanted to read but that they couldn't find. What kind of books did your students feel were missing from their library?
PEREZ: Well, anybody who knows a teenager or loves a teenager knows they're a little self-centered. They wanted books about themselves. You know, my first novel was basically about my students. You know, it was like - the main character was a composite of many of my students. And my second novel is also set in Houston, where I taught. With "Out Of Darkness," I was trying to do something a little bit different, which was to write the historical novel that readers like my students wouldn't be able to put down, a historical novel that, though being about the past, would seem powerfully resonant with their lives.
And I think that in "Out Of Darkness," for example, I engage the histories of school segregation in Texas - not just the ways that schools were segregated to separate Black Americans and white American students, but also what happened to Mexican American kids or anyone who was - didn't fit into those categories. So, you know, Texas had, quote-unquote, "Mexican schools" that were unequal in different ways and some - in some ways more damaging. And my students didn't know that history. So I thought with "Out Of Darkness" about what my former students would want in a book about the past so that it would speak to them now. And a lot of what they wanted was honesty, not to see things sugarcoated or sanitized.
SCHMITZ: I'm curious - after the viral video and the controversy over not only your book but many other books that have been called to be banned, especially in Texas, has this led to more publicity for your book? Has it led to better sales? I'm curious if it's having an effect that the people who are seeking to ban your book would not want, that it's having the reverse effect.
PEREZ: Yeah. Well, they're getting the effects that they want because at the end of the day, whether a copy of my book is returned to the library bookshelf, so long as the librarian in a school is positioned to no longer feel confident that they can make decisions about what books to include based on the needs of students, the book banners have won because the censorship that is currently coming from outside - the goal is to implant that in the librarians and educators themselves. And it's working extremely well in places like Texas, where this is happening more than anywhere else.
There will be people who buy the book because of hearing this interview. But for the hundreds of authors whose works have been banned but who haven't been interviewed on NPR, this can be career-ending. I mean, losing access to school and library markets can be career-ending for authors. And since these bans are overwhelmingly targeting people - you know, authors of color and authors with other marginalized identities, this is a real threat to the modest progress we've made in diversifying children's literature and literature for young adults.
SCHMITZ: That's Ashley Hope Perez. She's assistant professor of comparative studies at Ohio State University and the author of "Out Of Darkness" and other novels. Ashley, thank you.
PEREZ: Oh, thank you so much.

High Seas: Shalva Tsakadze, JSC Poti Shipyard
Through a combination of historical strengths and new investments, JSC Poti Shipyard has made it easy for shippers and other investors to plough Georgia's waters.
Shalva Tsakadze
General Director,
JSC Poti Shipyard
Founded in 1942, JSC Poti Shipyard is a reputed joint-stock shipbuilding and ship-repairing firm. By 1960, the firm had mastered the art of building high-speed vessels, culminating in the introduction of the Cometa—a high-speed hydrofoil craft. In 1981, it further improved the design and features of the Cometa and launched the Kolkhida.
The civil war in 1991 damaged the firm's infrastructure and led to a loss of market. However, following its privatisation in 1998, it invested heavily in reconstructing its infrastructure and acquiring the capacity to build topclass sailing devices.
Spread across 12 hectares, JSC Poti Shipyard has its own quays and seawater area. Besides ships, the firm constructs high-speed passenger vessels such as catamarans, trimarans and new-age hydrofoils. Currently, around 40 highspeed hydrofoil crafts of the Kolkhida type built by the shipyard sail across the world.

How To Add A Line In Microsoft Word
Microsoft Word can be used for many things. It's not just a tool for writing documents.
If you're willing to go a step further with it, you can create some really great documents that are quite appealing to the eye.
One of the features you can use in Microsoft Word is its horizontal lines.
While on the surface, this might seem a bit anticlimactic, it's actually a really good feature for separating big bodies of text and overall, it just makes the document you're writing easier to read.
But how do you add these lines in Microsoft Word? Well, read on to find out!
Insert A Line (The Fast Way)
There is actually more than one way you can insert a line in Microsoft Word. This option is by far the fastest way.
This method is called the AutoFormat feature. Certain characters in Microsoft Word are designed to be able to change into lines:
Put The Cursor On The Line
Put the cursor on the line where you want the horizontal line.
Type Three Of These Characters And Press Enter
Type three of these characters (picture below) and press Enter.
As soon as you press enter, the line will be added automatically and will look like whichever character you typed in three times.
The line extends to the full width of the page. If you have any columns you're inserting the line to, it will match the width of the column rather than the page.
If you want to add any text above the line, just put the cursor above the line and begin typing.
This method is the quickest and easiest way to add a horizontal line to Microsoft Word.
You can also draw lines in Word. They won't look like the ones above, but if you're looking to add a bit more flair to your document, try this method too:
Go To The Insert Tab
Go to the Insert tab and click Shapes.
Now You Want To Click Lines And Select The Line That You Want
Now you want to click Lines and select the line that you want. You'll get these options:
Decide What Location Of The Document You Want Your Lines To Be in
Decide what location of the document you want your lines to be in. Hold down on your mouse and drag the line there.
Inserting A Line Using Borders
This method lets you insert lines both horizontally and vertically using borders. This is another straightforward method, so just follow these steps:
Select The Paragraph
First, you want to select the paragraph where you want the line to be.
Click The Borders Button
On the Home tab, click the Borders button. By doing this, a line will appear under the paragraph.
The Border Pattern Will Usually Be The Bottom Line On The Dropdown Menu
By default, the border pattern will usually be the bottom line on the dropdown menu. But don't worry, you can change it.
Select The Arrow To Open The Dropdown Menu

Overcoming barriers that limit accountability of public spending
Nov 5, 2020 | Advocacy, Budget Implementation, Budget Monitoring, Budget Transparency, Civil Society Organizations, Corruption, COVID-19 | 0 comments

This piece was originally posted on the World Bank blog.
Countries around the world have responded to the COVID-19 pandemic and the ongoing economic crisis by expending trillions of dollars to support their economies and provide relief to their populations. Governments are following expedited procedures to quickly channel funds to relief and recovery programs. Still, a key challenge that countries are facing is ensuring that funds contribute to recovery and reach intended beneficiaries. This is a serious concern as cases of misuse and mismanagement of COVID-19 funds have been reported on every continent.
Supreme audit institutions are key
Fortunately, countries already have organizations such as the supreme audit institutions (SAIs) that are responsible for providing independent assurance on the effective and lawful use of government monies, improvement in public service delivery, and response to disasters. In fact, in the aftermath of the tsunami that hit South and South-East Asia in 2004, the International Organization of Supreme Audit Institutions (INTOSAI) issued special standards on disaster-related expenditures. Further, during the Ebola pandemic in 2014, the SAIs of Liberia and Sierra Leone were lauded for their audits of emergency programs, which received extensive coverage in the national and global media.
Civil society's involvement is necessary
Simultaneously, civil society organizations (CSOs) have also developed innovative methodologies to monitor government expenditures during emergencies and ensure that remedial measures are instituted based on audits conducted by SAIs. For example, in the aftermath of the devastating earthquakes that hit Mexico and Nepal in the past few years, local CSOs used audit reports issued by their national SAIs to demand that their governments implement reforms in relief programs.
CSOs have now joined calls made by various international bodies and financing agencies for SAIs to be more involved in the monitoring of COVID-19-related funds. These are positive developments but more needs to be done to ensure that audit findings foster the efficient and effective use of public resources for the benefit of citizens.
Effective oversight relies on an ecosystem
In November 2020, the International Budget Partnership (IBP) and the INTOSAI Development Initiative (IDI) are releasing a joint report that assesses the adequacy of national oversight systems based on data from 117 countries in the latest Open Budget Survey.
Audit and oversight are an "ecosystem," consisting of a set of interconnected actors, conditions and processes that need to be in place and function well for the system as a whole to perform effectively. Although SAIs lead the charge, the success of their audits in upholding accountability and enhancing performance in large part depends on the actions of legislators, civil society, the media and ultimately the executive.
Overcoming barriers that limit accountability
Too often, SAIs suffer from deficiencies that are compounded by weak legislative oversight, inadequate responsiveness from executives to reports, and few opportunities for public engagement in the audit and oversight process. These challenges preceded the pandemic and are likely to be exacerbated by the crisis. The IDI-IBP report suggests that all partners of the oversight system need to take action to strengthen accountability. Recommendations include:
Increasing the mandate, independence and resources of SAIs to audit public funds, including special funds established to channel resources emergency programs,
Improving the quality of audits by strengthening systems and independent quality checks,
Enhancing transparency with timely publication of audit reports and tracking executive responses to recommendations,
Ensuring that legislatures scrutinize SAI reports, including the ones on emergency spending measures, and
Expanding opportunities for public engagement during the formulation of plans, legislative discussions, and crucially, executive implementation of audit recommendations.
It is very important that governments and other stakeholders use audits to ensure that public funds are expended in a manner that will best save lives and reduce hardships caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
*Martin Aldcroft is Senior Manager of the Strategic Support Unit of the INTOSAI Development Initiative, Vivek Ramkumar is the Senior Director of Policy at the International Budget Partnership and Edward Olowo-Okere is Director of the Global Governance Practice at the World Bank.
* * In 2019, IBP and IDI signed a strategic partnership agreement out of mutual recognition of a shared vision and fruitful synergies while supporting effective engagements between SAIs, legislatives and civil society in order to enhance accountability, audit impact and make a difference to the lives of citizens. This joint report "Harnessing accountability through external public audits: An assessment of national oversight systems" is one product resulting from the partnership.

Chinese strategy games account for 56 per cent of genre revenues in the US
"The strategy genre has always been one of the cornerstones of modern and midcore mobile gaming"
GameRefinery
September 22nd, 2020 - 12:25pm
Chinese strategy games have proven successful in the West, making up 56 per cent of revenue generated by the genre in the US, according to GameRefinery.
In the US, the strategy genre is the third most popular game type, taking up 13 per cent of the market. However, looking at sub-categories, mainly Western, there has been a year-on-year drop in revenue generated by games such as Mobile Strike and Clash of Clans.
In terms of sub-genres, strategies biggest driving force is 4X games – hardcore strategy games with a focus on exploration, expansion, extermination and exploitation. Currently, 22 of the 27 strategy games within the US' top 200 are in the 4X sub-genre, namely Clash of Clans and Rise of Kingdoms. The former of which had its best-ever month for revenue in December 2019, and is closing in on $7 billion in lifetime earnings.
Talking strategy
However, as found within the report, the strategy genre could do with some new games, new titles to freshen things up given 67 per cent of the top-grossing 200 strategy games are over two years old.
"The strategy genre has always been one of the cornerstones of modern and midcore mobile gaming," said GameRefinery chief game analyst for the US Erno Kiiski.
"Games like Clash of Clans and Game of War - Fire Age were among the super hits in the early days of smartphone gaming, and the genre hasn't stopped there. If we look at the current statistics for the genre, it is very much driven by 4X strategy. From the current top-grossing 200 strategy games in US iOS, for example, 22 of 27 fall under the 4X strategy sub-genre. Interestingly, three out of five games that are not 4X strategy games are Supercell's games."
Back in July, GameRefinery took a look at the shooter genre, which happens to be the sixth biggest mobile genre in the US.

The Best Deep Cuts from Miranda Lambert
November 28, 2020 /in Best Deep Cuts, Blog /by Erica Zisman
At this point in her career, Miranda Lambert is a superstar and a staple in the country music genre. She embodies truth, story-telling, and sass in a way that is both humble, yet endearing. In her career, she has given us eight innovative studio albums and counting. Below are our favorite deep cuts from the multi-platinum singer-songwriter so far.
"Bathroom Sink" – Platinum
"Everybody is so tired of the drama / We're still fighting like I'm sixteen / And I guess we always will be / She taught me how to pray and drink / And how to clean the bathroom sink"
Arguably one of the most vulnerable and real songs that she has released, "Bathroom Sink" is a hidden gem. The song talks about everything women go through on a daily basis that many do not realize. Kudos to Lambert for speaking her truth!
"Airstream Song" – Revolution
"Unbridled, or tethered in tide / Safety of the fence / Or the daughter of the ride / I'll always be unsatisfied"
A fan-favorite, "Airstream Song" was written by Lambert and Natalie Hemby. The song is poetic, inviting, and a great reminder of the songstress' talent as a vocalist.
"Keeper of the Flame" – The Weight of These Wings
"I'm the keeper of the flame / The teller of my story / Keeper of the flame"
This concert jam is Lambert's story of road life. Constantly letting her fans into her psyche, Lambert impresses all of us with this song. We love how thematic and catchy this song truly is.
"I Wanna Die" – Kerosene
"Let's make it up baby / Cause I ain't gonna fight / If you're the death of me darlin' / I wanna die"
A complicated, chaotic love song from 2005 is one of those songs that you cannot help but relate to and think about after you listen. The soulful country tune reminds us of how honest country music is.
"All Kinds of Kinds" – Four the Record
"Ever since the beginning to keep the world spinning / It takes all kinds of kinds"
This mid-tempo country song is a statement. Lambert does not shy away from standing up for the disenfranchised and the vulnerable. It is a powerful statement about equality and justice.
"Tequila Does" – Wildcard
"They don't love me like tequila does / Nobody can / They don't give me that border town buzz"
Off her newest record Wildcard, "Tequila Does" is a catchy standout track. With a funky arrangement and fun lyrics, Lambert proves again and again why she will continue to make music for decades to come.

The long anticipated LOVE MOVEMENT finally opened on Saturday, November 11 to a full house of San Francisco's overs of art, toys, and all things kawaii. Under the guiding hand of one Jeremyriad, the exhibition came to together beautifully to celebrate a theme of love at New People's Superfrog Gallery.
An all-star cast of Japanese, European, and American artists customized T-BOY and Dankeschoen bear toys under the guiding principle of love. Interpretations ranged from the literal, happy, or joyful to more contemplative, somber, or even dramatic.
Not only were the numerous customs on display for which the show was intended but walls also showcased many 2D pieces, which I was not expecting. My favorite of these were paintings by Yu Tihara, Satoshi Yoshioka and Yucachin (pictured above, from left to right).
One of the highlights of the evening, however, was a live beatboxing performance by Kazuo "Kaz" Saito. Check out the video I took of his first song of the evening. Later on Kaz is joined by violinist Nanaco for a beatbox-violin combo. Yeah, that's right. Not your typical night to be sure. I love this city.

Eagle When She Flies is the thirty-first solo studio album by American singer-songwriter Dolly Parton. It was released on March 7, 1991, by Columbia Records. The album was produced by Steve Buckingham and Gary Smith, with Parton serving as executive producer. It continues Parton's return to mainstream country sounds following 1989's White Limozeen. The album features collaborations with Lorrie Morgan and Ricky Van Shelton, with additional supporting vocals provided by Vince Gill and Emmylou Harris. The album was a commercial success, becoming Parton's first solo album to peak at number one on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart since 1980s 9 to 5 and Odd Jobs. It was certified Platinum in by the RIAA in 1992. The album spawned four singles, the most successful being "Rockin' Years" with Ricky Van Shelton, which topped the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart. In support of the album, Parton embarked on the Eagle When She Flies Tour, her only concert tour of the 1990s.

Release and promotion
The album was released March 7, 1991, on CD, cassette, and LP.

Dolly Parton's duet with Shelton, "Rockin' Years", topped the country charts, and the follow-up single co-written by Carl Perkins, "Silver and Gold", was a #15 country single. Rounding out the hit singles was the title song "Eagle When She Flies", which only reached a #33 peak, despite spending 20 weeks on the Billboard Country Singles chart. Her duet with Lorrie Morgan, "Best Woman Wins", appeared simultaneously on Lorrie Morgan's 1991 album Something in Red. She co-wrote the song "Family" with Carl Perkins and "Wildest Dreams" with Mac Davis.

Critical reception
Frank King from Calgary Herald wrote, "Hot damn, she's back. Just when the world is ready to write off Dolly as a cupie doll incapable of anything but candy fluff pop albums and silly duets with Kenny Rogers, she wipes us out with an inspiring, heart-on-your-sleeve country classic. The guest list - Vince Gill, Patty Loveless, Emmylou Harris, Alison Krauss - is impressive, but it's Dolly that shines from start to finish. Most of the 11 tracks are self-penned and drip with honest-to-goodness emotion. Makes a fella proud to slide on his cowboy boots and declare he finally likes Dolly for more than her pin-up appearance."

Commercial performance
The album also topped the U.S. country albums charts, Parton's first solo album to reach the top in a decade (and her last to do so until 2016) and reached #24 on the pop albums charts. The album spent 73 weeks on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart. It was her first solo studio album to reach number one album in the United States after 1980's 9 to 5 and Odd Jobs.  The album's single week at number one interrupted what would otherwise have been an unbroken run of over 14 months in the top spot for Garth Brooks.

The album sold 74,000 copies in its first week. It ended up being certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. The album has sold 1.14 million copies as of July 2016.

Reissues
In 2009, Sony Music reissued Eagle When She Flies in a triple-feature CD set with White Limozeen and Slow Dancing with the Moon.

Each day, Mike Petty and I look through the archives of the Cambridge News and recount some of the stories that occurred on this day in history.
Minimum wage unrealistic for farm workers
Muck spreading in 1965.
Agricultural production is increasing but the number of land workers is going down.
Farm workers were now more like the skilled technicians of the factory and a £10 national minimum wage was not realistic – it should rise to £12, Swaffham Prior agricultural workers unionists say.
And toxic chemicals were still a problem – they should only be used under a licence.
Ben Brand of Elsworth was presented with a cheque on behalf of the union in settlement of a claim arising from at accident at work when wheat slid off a stack, knocked him down and covered him. He was off work for 34 weeks.
Bridge should be erected at Chettisham station
Councillor H.G. Martin proposed that a bridge should be erected over the level crossing at Chettisham station.
Not long ago, a six-wheel lorry was unable to stop when coming down the hill; it crashed into one of the gate posts before coming to rest on the line causing considerable disorganisation of rail traffic.
This was the most dangerous crossing in the Isle and a bridge should be erected.
But Cllr Sole said it would be most convenient for Cllr Martin because he would not then have to wait at the crossing. No action will be taken.
Travelling dental surgery bursts into flames
The Isle of Ely motor dental van, a completely equipped travelling dental surgery for school children, drew up at Peck and Packer's garage on Dartford Road, March, where the tank was refilled with petrol, a little of which ran over on to the road.
When the driver put the self-starter into operation, the cab burst into a huge flame and the whole of the front of the vehicle was enveloped in a dense mass of smoke.
He made an expeditious and fortunate escape and garage staff quickly subdued the flames.
Pointing the finger at parish councillors
Sir, At the recent fire on the premises of the chairman of Swavesey parish council, one of the men working on the engine had the misfortune to have a finger crushed. He had to call in a doctor and stay away from work for a fortnight. As compensation, he has received fifteen shillings, the amount of the doctor's bill, but nothing whatever for loss of pay during incapacity. Will such treatment encourage others to help out at fires in the village? Are the parish councillors who have charge of the engine prepared to work it themselves at future fires? If not, would it not be wise if they took steps to have the young man adequately compensated? – Poor Old Joe
Custom revived to celebrate Plough Monday
Plough Monday at Swaffham Prior.
The observance of Plough Monday in Willingham has degenerated into parties of boys calling at houses and asking for coppers.
This year, an old custom has been revived. A party of young men, wearing top hats decorated with ribbons and carrying whips dragged a plough round the village.
On their way, they met an old ploughman and, on his declining to assist them financially, they harnessed him to the plough and he drew it for some distance.
He was soon released but not before he had afforded much amusement to the onlookers and the young men.
The elusive genius of the pilfering urchin
Cambridge Market.
Stallholders on Cambridge Market have been troubled by repeated small thefts.
The elusive genius of the pilfering urchin is well known but Cambridge boys have resorted to other devices.
One favourite plan is for two boys to walk past and for one to throw the other's cap on the stall.
In recovering the cap, the boy generally manages to get an orange or two underneath it.
Another is for a boy to have a piece of wood with a nail on the end and to spike an apple or other fruit with it.
The police have been keeping a sharp look-out with the result that a lad of 14 was arrested for stealing nougat from Mr Careless's sweet stall.
The prisoner who wanted to be locked up
P.C. Parker told the court that he was on duty at the police station when the doorbell rang. He saw the prisoner who said he wished to be locked up as he had nowhere to go.
He was drunk, was staggering and would have fallen if not prevented.
The man, a labourer from Manchester, said "It was all along of this Plough Monday do."
Some men got him into a public house and a little beer got hold of him. They set his coat and trousers on fire and he went to the police station as he was ashamed to walk about.
The prisoner, whose clothes were hanging in tatters, was discharged.
