Luther, Series 5, BBC One review - welcome return for Idris Elba's maverick 'tec
A psychotic killer, a sneering shrink, Dermot Crowley and Ruth Wilson - it's like he's never been away
by Saskia BaronWednesday, 02 January 2019
Thin blue line: Idris Elba as Luther, Dermot Crowley as DSU Martin Schenk
"Can you breathe?' "Yeah." "Shame, that". Another ne'er-do-well is being banged to rights after a chase through container stacks in the dark. Luther is back, and he hasn't upgraded his Volvo or changed his tweed coat – but we don't really mind, do we? It's a bit like Columbo, Miss Marple or Christmas dinner, the familiar ingredients are what we crave. Before the title sequence rolls, two distinct storylines have been set up and we'll doubtless spend the four episodes working out how they intertwine (or not); but mostly, we're waiting for Ruth Wilson to appear.
There's a perverted serial killer out there who likes to turn his victims into porcupines and remove their eyeballs while dodging the CCTV, not just with a mask but with a halo of LED lights. It's all very much out of the Thomas Harris playbook, especially when we see the killer with his arms outstretched in front of a projector spewing out grisly images (hello, Michael Mann's Manhunter). Cue Hermione Norris reprising her ice maiden persona as Dr Vivien Lake, the sneering psychiatrist with something to hide. She's not exactly Hannibal Lecter but she's definitely one of those intellectually dazzling shrinks who likes to torment the police, and must have an impressive client base to afford a glass-and-concrete architectural showcase nestled in North London's Highgate cemetery which last sold for just south of £5 million. But let's just change the scene to sarf London's Rizzoli ballroom, where Luther is being held for interrogation. His old crime lord pal, George Cornelius (Patrick Malahide, pictured above in hat), is pretty miffed that his beloved son and heir has been kidnapped. Cornelius has the footage on his phone but not a clue where the lad is being held. Perhaps Luther can throw some light on the matter? It's not quite clear why that entails Cornelius's goons from central casting knocking the detective out, bagging him up, and plonking him down on the gloomy dance floor.
Never mind, despite being heavily outnumbered and nursing concussion, Luther fights off the leering thugs and gets back home to his sordid flat, which looks as ramshackle as a squat from the 1970s. There's a bit of pump-action shotgun shenanigans at a deserted lido with colourful cubicle doors and a nouveau-riche mansion for Cornelius to rough up a Judas in his midst. It must be fun being the location scout for Luther – is there one of those specialist tours to go on? And where is Ruth Wilson?
Oh just be patient, she's got to turn up sometime, and while we're waiting we've got a new woman on the squad upon whom Luther can practise his sensitive side. Weary DSU Martin Shenk (the ever dependable Dermot Crowley) warns Luther about his new colleague, "Don't show her how it's done, show her how it's supposed to be done." New detective Catherine Halliday is not only a woman being fast-tracked from some civilian position up the police ranks, she's also black. Which other actor could they cast but Wunmi Mosaku (pictured below), now playing her fourth or fifth detective in her short career?
She's a bit different from her eagle-eyed copper in Kiri, there's a soft cardigan in constant attendance. There's also a touch of naivety (is it faux?) when Halliday asks frosty Dr Lake to define paraphilia and she flinches at the perverse details in the response. It's going to be fun seeing how Luther manages working alongside Halliday. Her privileged ingenue status will doubtless grate on his macho nerves, but it's good to see two excellent black actors playing alongside each other as detectives rather than the usual salt-and-pepper combination. Still, where's Ruth Wilson?
Oh well, here's that serial killer again. He really isn't very nice, is he? There's a young woman waiting alone at a gloomy docklands bus stop. Phew, here comes the crowded night bus. That's alright then, except she dozes off and the top deck empties and there's someone slithering down the aisle. Another grisly killing, those dodgy LED lights and what a surprise, Dr Lake is being even more unhelpful about the whereabouts of her patient, the abuse victim turned psychopath. Good thing that fancy house has several entrances and four ensuite bathrooms.
There's a flash of insight from Detective Halliday looking at the crime scene photos and some hope that the scriptwriter is going to let her character be more than an irritation for Luther's less than ethical police methods. And finally, here's Ms Wilson! Hurrah. Can't wait for the next episode...
There's a perverted serial killer who likes to turn his victims into porcupines and remove their eyeballs while dodging the CCTV

What Is Actually a Lightning Rod and How Does It Perform?
If lightning strikes a building, the facility can cause a fireplace or can electrocute anybody that is nearby. But exactly how can people protect themselves against one of many strongest and many unpredictable forces of nature? A lightning rod, also called a finial or air terminal, is an easy device that can protect all kinds of structures from electrical damage after a storm.
A finial is often a metal rod which is installed on the surface of a building or any other structure that should be resistant to lightning, including bridges and ships. They're able to are available in many forms besides just straight rods, including rounded, pointed, or flat. They might be hollow or solid, and will be composed of bristles, similar to a brush. Whatever form they come in, the metal spikes draw the electrical charge from your lightning strike, diverting the power by transferring it to the floor through a wire coupled to the device.
An easy lightning rod is determined by three integral pieces – the metal rod, a wire, along with a grounded absorber. When the finial is struck, the facility naturally travels over the conductive wire, which can be comprised of a conductive material, and in to a ground. The floor, also referred to as an earth, is the one other piece of metal which is driven into the actual ground. From here the electricity disperses without causing problems for the framework. However, if homeowners suspect their rod may be hit, they must still be guaranteed to examine their house for virtually any damage since quite a lot of energy has been transferred.
Buildings that want extra protection could use something consisting of some devices which were networked together through bonding conductors, connectors, and supports. The conductors will be connected to the ground in the most direct path, making sure the electricity is shipped out of the building as quickly as possible.
Good the Lightning Rod
Benjamin Franklin, the United States' pioneer of electricity, designed the earliest lightning rod. He first came up with the concept in 1749, as well as over another decade, he developed the thought in to a usable household product. In fact, early incarnations of the device maintained as being a Franklin rod. There's some evidence the first lightning rod was utilized over a tower in Russia during the early 1700s, before Benjamin Franklin's invention, but there is no concrete proof that was the aim of the style.
After the technique finial became common, individuals the Nineteenth century did start to utilize them as decorative accents for homes. These folks were often decorated with glass balls, that had been both attractive and served to alert occupants that a strike had occurred, since the balls would shatter when hit.
Due to this ingenious device, people can now rest comfortably within the electrical storm and relish the awesome display of nature's power without having to worry actually at risk.

Persona for PlayStation (1997)
Original ad published in the February 1997 issue of Game Fan (vol V, no. 2).
A successful introduction of "Cool Japan" in the West
An incredibly popular franchise in Japan, the first Persona game to reach North American landed for the PlayStation just when Sony's machine was starting to gain traction. By all accounts, this "sleeper hit" published by Atlus proved a successful foundation in the West for other Persona games well into our decade.
I won't delve into the mythos and details of the franchise or this game. I don't known the exact details because I have only played one recent Persona game for the PS2. I don't qualify to speak about the game. I can only say that the main series is a very polished JRPG, with enthralling characters that live in between two worlds created by their own Jüngian interpretations. The "persona"--or "mask" in Greek--is the avatar they use to combat the evil seeping from the netherworld into reality. If this all sounds very related to manga culture is because it is. The artwork, personalities, problems and setting of the game is directly related to the franchise manga. I can only assume that the enormous success of the series is linked to the rich Japanese ambient the developers bring into their 3-D worlds. Any one who has visited Japan or at least seen recent movies from that country will immediately recognise the streets of Tokyo, famous landmarks, highschools, social relations, etc. Here's an excellent primer for the Megami and Persona franchises. The series had appeared previously on the SNES, but only in Japan.
I will say that Japanese culture started booming in the West in the middle of the 90s after both the government and big media and electronic giants realised they should start exporting their products into the lucrative American market. This a well-devised plan that included manga, video games, music, movies and all merchandise related to these attractive and exportable products. This initiative is known as "Cool Japan". It still flourishes today in anticipation of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. The main objetive of the plan involves strengthening the knowledge of modern Japanese culture outside of its native country. Popular culture, as manga and video games, has spearheaded this ambitious project.
With that context in mind, Persona seems like the perfect example in shortening the cultural differences between East and West. I can't fathom the huge success the series has garnered without this basic realisation. It's clear that the objetive of "Cool Japan" has been achieved: a good proportion of Westerners are familiarised with the franchise and buy the video games, animes, mangas and figurines that revolve around Persona and the Shin Megami Tensei brands and their offshoots.
Of course "Cool Japan" doesn't mean the West consumes Japanese culture the same way the Japanese do. Take for example the artwork of the Persona game. Over here we got the more "action-oriented" look of the game (left), instead of the introspective aspect of it (right). This is just a very brief example of how big electronic and media companies adapt their products for the West. "Cool Japan" could not be built another way. Otherwise, we would be in the slippery terrain of "cultural imperialism". No one wants to go there. Least the Japanese.
Now the artwork of the game printed in Western magazines is something special. Here we see an interesting "V"-shaped layout. Your eyes will naturally fall on the brightest subject of the scene (1); in this case, the demons eyes to the upper-right of the page. But next you'll advance to the lower part of the page, where the actual game screens of the game are presented quite attractively. Your eyes then either follow the right-hand side of the "V" and return to the demons eyes before reading "Persona" or advance ti the large copy of the ad in the upper left, a not very attractive zone in traditional editorial layout. I could argue that the entire upper-left of the page is very much redundant, but considering that this was the first Persona game in the West, it's understandable that Atlus would offer as much information as possible to convince gamers this was a solid JRPG. I think they achieved thus that.

Politics & Policy Charters & Choice Vouchers
Tennessee legislative preview: Key education issues to watch as lawmakers return
Republican lawmakers conduct business in the Tennessee House of Representatives on February 17, 2022. The GOP will enjoy another supermajority when a new General Assembly convenes on January 10, 2023.
Larry McCormack for Chalkbeat
When Tennessee legislators passed a tough third-grade reading law during their 2021 special session on education, they didn't seek the input of many educators.
But they're hearing a lot of feedback now, as the law's stricter retention policy kicks in with this year's class of third graders. Educators are warning about the potential for thousands of students to be held back because of low reading scores, along with a slew of logistical challenges created by the law.
Revisiting the controversial third-grade reading law is expected to top the list of education priorities heading into this year's 113th General Assembly, beginning Tuesday in Nashville.
Meanwhile, Republican Gov. Bill Lee will unveil details of his legislative agenda and proposed budget several weeks after being sworn in for his second term on Jan. 21.
Last year, no education issue seemed too big or small for the GOP-controlled legislature to take up — from passing Lee's sweeping rewrite of the state's K-12 funding formula to authorizing teachers to confiscate students' cellphones if they're deemed a distraction in class. Lawmakers also asserted state power over several matters traditionally handled at the local or school level, including which books are OK for libraries and how to resolve a dispute between two cities over school properties.
This year, the GOP may flex its supermajority power again on socially divisive issues, including one bill that seeks to limit health treatment for transgender youth.
But whether charter school advocates will try again to pass charter-friendly legislation is still uncertain after several Republican-sponsored proposals sputtered last year and the fallout over charter applications linked to Michigan's Hillsdale College galvanized supporters of traditional public schools.
As for the Democrats, their minority status limits their influence over legislation. But expect them to hammer their messaging around themes of restoring local control over education and the potential fiscal effects of expanding Tennessee's charter school sector and private school voucher programs.
Here are five things to watch for as the General Assembly convenes:
Expect a 'quieter year' from Lee's administration
During his first term, the governor spent significant political capital to pass major education laws — launching a private school voucher program, creating a powerful state commission to oversee charter school growth, expanding vocational education options for middle and high school students, and replacing the state's 30-year-old resource-based funding formula with a student-centered one called Tennessee Investment in Student Achievement, or TISA.
Gov. Bill Lee, a Republican businessman from Williamson County, will be sworn in to his second term in office on Jan. 21.

Last fall, Lee suggested the dizzying pace would continue, with a campaign pledge to teachers and parents that he would "make the most of the next four years."
But legislative leaders working closely with his administration say this year's education focus will be to execute what's already passed — not introduce new major initiatives.
"We've done a lot, and I think it's going to be a quieter year on education," said Senate Majority Leader Jack Johnson, who carries bills on the governor's behalf.
Specifically, he said, Lee wants to monitor this year's rollout of the funding formula and third-grade retention policy. "We may need some tweaks and improvements on those but, in terms of any new broad initiatives, I don't anticipate anything from the administration," Johnson told Chalkbeat.
Lee pledged more money for K-12 education
When Lee pressed last year for an education funding overhaul, he pledged an additional $1 billion annually for students if TISA passed, beginning with the budget that takes effect this July 1. With state revenues continuing to exceed expenses, the expectation is that he'll make good on that promise.
On other budgetary matters, Lee has said he wants to continue upping teacher pay. He'll also likely set aside money so the all-volunteer state textbook commission can hire staff to manage a new library book appeals process authorized by the legislature in 2022. And he's expected to propose more funding for the state agency for children's services, which is severely understaffed and short of beds for abused, neglected, or foster children who are taken into state custody.
Meanwhile, the legislature will review ways to continue tapping state or federal dollars for perennial educational wants, from more social services for schools to expanded access to pre-kindergarten and early child care.
Lawmakers will revisit third-grade retention policy
Vowing to stop the cycle of letting students who can't read move up to the next grade, Lee pressed for the new third-grade reading law, which tightens state retention policies that generally haven't been enforced under a 2011 law.
The 2021 law made it more likely that schools will hold back students who aren't considered proficient in reading by the end of third grade, based on the results of annual state tests this spring. It also authorized new summer school and after-school tutoring programs that can help struggling third graders avoid being held back.
But with only a third of Tennessee third graders projected to test proficient in reading, educators insist that state test results don't tell the full story about a student's reading ability. They want more local input that takes into account the results of periodic "benchmark" tests administered throughout the year.
"This is the No. 1 concern I'm hearing across the state with superintendents, school boards, and parents," said House Education Committee Chairman Mark White, who says he's open to adding benchmark test results into the calculations. "We cannot ignore it."
Expect other legislative proposals to try to improve the quality of education before third grade, especially to support literacy.
Rep. Scott Cepicky, a Republican from Maury County, is one of the legislature's most prolific sponsors of education legislation.
Rep. Scott Cepicky, for instance, is looking at raising the minimum age to begin kindergarten. Currently, Tennessee law requires children entering kindergarten to be at least 5 years old on or before Aug. 15 of the school year they're entering.
His proposal is based on a recent analysis by the state comptroller's office, which found that Tennessee students who were older at kindergarten enrollment performed better on third-grade literacy tests than their peers.
School voucher program could expand
After overcoming a string of court challenges, private school vouchers became available this school year in Memphis and Nashville. Now Sen. Todd Gardenhire is looking to expand the "pilot" program to Hamilton County, where he lives.
The Chattanooga Republican had voted against education savings accounts in 2019, but said he's changed his mind since the Tennessee Supreme Court upheld the controversial law last spring. He's also frustrated that Hamilton County Schools has abandoned a $20 million school improvement plan for its lowest-performing schools.
Gardenhire filed his bill last month and recruited White to co-sponsor the measure in the House.
Meanwhile, the law continues to face legal challenges. Metro Nashville and Shelby County governments gave notice last month that they'll appeal a lower court's dismissal of their remaining legal claims to the Tennessee Court of Appeals.
The state comptroller's first report on the program's efficacy isn't due until Jan. 1, 2026.
Efforts to attract and keep teachers grow
Both state and national data suggest that teacher shortages are limited to certain districts, schools, and subjects, not an across-the-board problem. But with the churn of educators and school staff worsening during the pandemic, expect several new proposals to try to strengthen teacher pipelines beyond Tennessee's existing grow-your-own programs, as well as to support those already in classrooms.
The Tennessee School Boards Association is urging the legislature to incentivize potential teacher candidates by reimbursing those who pass the Praxis exam, which measures knowledge and skills needed to be a teacher. The test generally costs about $120. (The State Board of Education is also considering dropping EdTPA, another licensing test required currently of about 900 "job-embedded" candidates, who make up about a third of the state's teacher pipeline.)
Cepicky and Sen. Joey Hensley have filed a bill to provide teachers with $500 annually to pay for classroom supplies, instead of the current $200, so that they're not counting on charity or personal funds to cover those costs.
But for many districts, an even bigger staffing issue is hiring enough support staff.
South of Nashville, Williamson County Schools has only three-fourths of the school bus drivers needed by the suburban district and is also understaffed for teacher aides for special education students.
"Every little tool you can give us in our toolbox, if it can fill one or two spots, it's worth it," Superintendent Jason Golden told his local legislative delegation during a weekend workshop.
"We're looking at it," responded Hensley, a Hohenwald Republican. "We know it's a big issue."

Q: Как вывести маленькие числа в привычном виде (0.00002), вместо 2e-05? Мне необходимо в выражении, например:
print (2/100000)

получить на выходе 0.00002, а не 2e-05?!
С функциями float или round(x,8) тоже самое выходит.
Уточню, необходимо округление до 8 знаков после запятой.

A: from decimal import *
getcontext().prec = 10
Decimal(2)/Decimal(100000)

A: Чтобы вывести число с плавающей точкой в фиксированном формате с указанным числом знаков после запятой:
>>> '%.8f' % 2e-5
'0.00002000'

Если как переменные заданы:
>>> n = 2e-5
>>> precision = 8
>>> f'{n:.{precision}f}'
'0.00002000'

A: Так пойдет?
 '%0.5f' % (2/100000)

Предлагаю ещё вот такую функцию
def fixed_num(n, prec=0):
    return f"{n:.{prec}f}"

fixed_num(2/100000, 5)
'0.00002'

PEP 498: Formatted string literals

Воспользовавшись идеей из соседнего ответа, можно определить функцию отображающую максимально возможное количество знаков без "научной нотации":
import decimal
ctx = decimal.Context()

# prec - precision - количество значащих знаков, не округление до знака
def float_to_str(f, prec = 18): # 18 знаков хватит всем (c) BG
    ctx.prec = prec
    d1 = ctx.create_decimal(repr(f))
    return format(d1, 'f')

>>> float_to_str(2/100000)
'0.00002'
>>> float_to_str(7/130000)
'0.00005384615384615385'
>>> float_to_str(7/130000)
'0.000053846154'
# округлять до знака нужно заранее
>>> float_to_str(round(7/23, 8))
'0.30434783'

Subject: Re: Posits support under Musl  libc?
> Posits are lightweight, fast
Ah, this is a difference in the interpretation of words. I meant lightweight in the sense that you can add two numbers in one instruction without linking with and calling additional emulation code, and fast in the sense that you can do from one to four additions per cycle depending on what else you have to do at the same time. [1]
> and produce the same reasults across platforms, something which IEEE 754 doesn't guarantee. To top that, IEEE 754 isn't even a standard but just a set of guidelines which are usually implemented incorrectly due to misinterpretation or lack of expertise. So in that sense, Posits are safer than Floating-point.
This is a remarkable exaggeration. The actual differences of interpretation between IEEE 754 implementations are extremely minor for basic operations (it would be inappropriate to start discussing them considering the current level of discourse). On the other hand, there are differences between platforms in the implementations of trigonometric and other math functions. This was a well-weighted decision by the IEEE 754 standardization committee, in order not to stifle research into better implementations for these functions. Surely you are not referring to such differences? Because I do not see how posits fix these (apart from having no implementations for math functions).
If you bother to investigate where differences in floating-point computations come from, as David Monniaux did [2], you end up with the conclusion that all the inconsistencies come from:
A- hardware-design decisions make in the 1980s when it was not interesting to implement more than one format, so that several FPU implemented the (widest feasible) 80-bit double-extended format and let compilers generate code that emulated single- and double-precision imperfectly from that. Compilers could have done better but the hardware design decisions are partially to blame. Modern desktop hardware provides single- and double-precision operations, of course, which IEEE 754 was smart enough to standardize before it was practical to have all three in a single FPU.
B- compilers who produce code that violate IEEE 754 even when the hardware offers a perfect implementation of it, e.g. generating the FMA instruction for code that contains a multiplication and an addition.
I reluctantly admit that you have a point: all the 0 processors who provide posit basic operations implement the exact same semantics, and the 0 compilers who support posits avoid the troublesome optimizations that plague some programming languages.
Note that Type I unums have been the greatest floating-point format ever invented (according to their inventor) for longer than posits have existed, so if we did have hardware implementing these ideas, it would be probably 60% Type I unum implementations, 35% Type II unums, and 5% posits. You would not actually get the same results across platforms for basic operations. In 2023, Gustafson will have a better idea yet. Better wait for unums Type IV.

Scarborough Borough Council elections: Tory leader blasts Theresa May and Brexit stance
Published: 18:31 Updated: 18:40 Friday 03 May 2019
Scarborough Council has been left in no overall control following today's local election results.
And, after the Conservatives lost their majority, leader of the council Cllr Derek Bastiman laid the blame for the party's collapse at the door of Prime Minister Theresa May.
Today's count at the Spa
He said: "We lost the majority but it's what I expected to be honest because Westminster and our illustrious leader Theresa May has done nothing whatsoever to help the Conservatives in the borough of Scarborough, as I don't think she's done anything to help anybody in the north of England.
"This is, without a shadow of a doubt, sending a message back to the national Government saying 'you've got Brexit wrong, you've got that wrong and this is how we are going to treat you going forward."
Cllr Bastiman said he wanted to stay on as leader and said there would be "a lot of telephone conversations going on over the weekend".
The Conservative Party saw its majority wiped out as a number of prominent councillors lost their seats.
The party finished the day on 16 seats having started on 25. Independents picked up 14 seats and Labour 13.
The shocks started early for the Conservatives as former council leader Tom Fox was ousted in Weaponness and Ramshill alongside fellow Tory Callam Walsh.
From then on the electorate set about removing cabinet members: Martin Smith, John Nock and Sandra Turner all went in quick succession.
The joint longest serving councillor, Conservative Godfrey Allanson, was also defeated in Hunmanby ward, bringing to an end 45 years of service on the council.
The Green Party maintained its two seats on the council, though with two new faces to replace retiring councillors, and UKIP gained a single seat. The party had five candidates elected in 2015 though all five later switched to independent.
Labour leader Steve Siddons said the electorate had rejected Conservative rule and he called on the independents to honour their election pledges.
He said: "The Tory plans for the borough have been rejected.
Former Scarborough Council leader and mayor Tom Fox loses his seat in elections
IN FULL: All the election results for Scarborough Borough Council (updated with turnouts)
"The only way they can continue is if some independents break their promise to the electorate of time for a change and vote for a continuing Tory leadership.
"The borough needs fresh leadership. The borough voted for change."
The Labour group will meet over the weekend to decide its strategy moving forwards before the new council meets for the first time on Tuesday to elect its leader.
Elsewhere on the authority, there was joy for independent Michelle Donohue-Moncrieff, who was elected in Hunmanby ward by a resounding majority.
Cllr Donohue-Moncrieff was barred from the council for a large part of last year following a decision from the outgoing chief executive Jim Dillon.
She said the level of her victory, she gained more than 900 votes, had been a shock and opened up on her battle with mental illness.
She said: "It has been a horrific three years for me personally and there were times I didn't know I would be alive at one point and it's really humbling that so many people went out and voted for me. They understood I'd been ill and the issues that I'd faced and they appreciated the work I had done."

2×06 The Pride Episode

What is Pride? As Pride Month approaches, we wanted to take a look at pride, maybe a little more from the parenting perspective: how can we instill self-pride in our kids – pride for our kids in who they are and in where they come from? We turned to Ariel Foxman, a writer, a journalist and a thinker, to talk about the issue. We hope that our conversation will inspire you.
Take Action: Demand a same-sex parent family on Peppa Pig!
"I think that what's interesting about being a gay dad, which I don't think straight parents necessarily think about. It's like 'I can be something that my child may not be,'" says Ariel Foxman. "We're Jewish, my child will be raised Jewish. Will he stay Jewish? In practice? I don't know. Will he have the fundamentals of Judaism? Yes, because that's the house he grows up in.
"[my kid] is Hispanic, he will always be Hispanic. I will never be Hispanic but his other father is. So what's our responsibility in terms of understanding his culture, his heritage where he's from, where he's going. My being gay, though, has no bearing on whether or not he will be gay, queer, straight, whatever. So I think there's a little less pressure about that for me in that 'you need to know that all people are the same, everyone is different at the same time and that's ok. You don't have to worry about having to judge one thing verses the other. Everything is ok.'"
It's pretty clear that these little things we consistently do in front of our children add up. "For me, and I know for my husband, it really boils down to not being judgmental as best we can as human beings and respecting everyone as they cross your path," says Ariel.
"I think it's probably easier to say 'take them to museums and read them books and put them in a class and be very, very proud about the things that you are and then be in a household where they don't treat some relatives nicely, talk about people behind their back, they're short with the waiter in the restaurant, these things that insulate people and make them feel better or higher than other people
"It's not necessarily what comes to mind when you think about pride or respect but if a child sees that you consistently treat everybody equally, then having pride in yourself is like a no-brainer."
Gay Dads: Show Up At Pride Parades
A note to all you gay dads and prospective gay dads about Gay Pride parades and events this month: Many of us might be tired of these things. And especially if we live in one of the super gay cities, we may wonder what, really, is the point? But Alex & Yan are here to ask you to go. Show up. Bring the kids. I can promise that no matter where you live, many, many young people (and some not so young) at the Parade will be secretly asking themselves, "Can my life as a gay man be full? Can it be real?" All of you are the very best answers to that question. Go answer them by BEING THERE!

Thornhill is a rural village in Enoch Mgijima Local Municipality under the Chris Hani District Municipality in the Eastern Cape province of South Africa. Under the previous political dispensation (till 1994) it fell in the Ciskei homeland.
Thornhill is the biggest village in the [Ntabethemba].

History

From 1976, around 30 000-50 000 people moved from 23 villages in Sterkspruit and Herschel to an empty piece of land known as Thornhill. Three reasons have been given for the exodus. The first reason was that the then leader of Ciskei, Lennox Sebe, who was involved in a power struggle with Justice Mabandla lured the people of Herschel to consolidate his political power in Ciskei. By promising the local leader more privileges in Ciskei, he was able to draw people to the area.

The second reason that has been brought forward is the application of the Citizenship Act of 1970 "which assigned all African South Africans citizenship in one of the bantustans, whether or not they had ever lived there or had any ties to them". This act was aimed at resettling Black people outside what was called White South Africa.

The third reason is that there was land scarcity, soil erosion and overpopulation in Herschel. Before the people of Herschel moved to Thornhill, they were promised land, houses, schools and clinics by Mr Uys, the South African Deputy Secretary of Bantu Administration and Education. However, when they arrived in Thornhill by the thousands, the only thing they found were tents that couldn't even cater for all of them. The conditions were tough in the first few months. There was a lack of shelter for the refugees and livestock died because of the lack of feed. In January 1977 it was reported that 10 babies died. Nevertheless, the people remained in Thornhill. The conditions at Thornhill were described in a 1983 article by the New York Times, with the paper reporting that 50% of children were said to have died before the age of 5.

Land restitution

In 2013, the South African Deputy Minister of Rural Development and Land Reform, Pamela Tshwete, awarded more than R390 million to 3 043 households in compensation to the people of the Ntabethemba village. During Phase 1 of the process, R137 345 350.59 was released and each of the 1 071  households received an amount of R128 240.29, while the 1972 claims in the second phase were finalised and paid in 2014. The claimants, currently residing in Ntabethemba, live in the following villages: Merino Walk, Thornhill, Mitford, Bacle's Farm, Tentergate, Tembalethu, Rocklands, Zola, Phakamisa, Ikhwezi and Cangca village in Seymour.

Education
The following schools serve the village and surrounding areas:

Inyathi High School

Thornvale Primary School

Nonzwakazi Primary

Mthombo-wesizwe Primary School

Hlalethembeni Primary School

Amavundle Senior Secondary School

Economy

Located between Queenstown and Tarkastad, Thornhill relies on both towns for administrative and public services. Both towns provide a source of employment for the people of Thornhill. But due to the high population growth in Thornhill so many people have no jobs , that makes high rate of crime and low standards of living. Although the government have supplied the people of Thornhill with many services but still there's no change instead there are higher and higher numbers of people and jobs become more less .

Demographics

The following statistics describing Thornhill are from the 2011 census.

 Area:
 Population:  5288 :
 Households: 1477:

Turner v. Kellett
Court of Appeals of South Carolina
Natasha Turner, Respondent/Appellant,
Michael T. Kellett and Carmen Kellett, Appellants/Respondents. Appellate Case No. 2016-001425
Heard November 7, 2018
Appeal From Greenville County Letitia H. Verdin, Circuit Court Judge
Clifford F. Gaddy, Jr., of Greenville, for Appellants/Respondents.
R. Frank Plaxco and Joseph Mackay Plaxco, both of Greenville, for Respondent/Appellant.
THOMAS, J.
Michael and Carmen Kellett (collectively, the Kelletts) appeal a trial court order finding they violated the South Carolina Unfair Trade Practices Act[1] (the Act). On appeal, the Kelletts argue the trial court erred in finding they violated the Act because the unfair or deceptive act at issue was not capable of repetition and therefore did not affect the public interest. In a cross-appeal, Natasha Turner argues the trial court properly found she prevailed under the Act but erred in finding she was not entitled to (1) attorney's fees, (2) punitive damages, and (3) costs. We reverse and remand.
FACTS/PROCEDURAL HISTORY
In June 2014, Turner commenced the underlying suit against the Kelletts, alleging they owned and operated an auto repair business known as Buddy's Garage in Greenville. The complaint alleged Turner took her vehicle, a 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer, to Buddy's Garage for repairs and paid in advance for the services, but despite assurances from the Kelletts and their agents, the repairs were never completed and Turner was not refunded. Turner brought causes of action for conversion, fraud, misrepresentation, violation of the Act, and breach of contract. In November 2015, the case proceeded to a bench trial.
Turner testified she took her vehicle to Buddy's Garage in May 2013 because she was involved in a hit-and-run collision. Turner explained she dealt exclusively with Michael Finchem, the mechanic at Buddy's Garage. She stated Finchem gave her an estimate in the amount of $3, 867.89 for repairs to the transmission, front bumper, and rear bumper. She paid $2, 500 up front, and her automobile insurer tendered a check for $1, 815.26 to cover the remainder.
Turner eventually picked up her vehicle from Buddy's Garage in July 2013. When she picked up the vehicle, she observed the front bumper was "not there" and the rear bumper had not been repaired. Carmen Kellett reimbursed her with a check for $130 for the front bumper only; Turner accepted the check but never deposited it. When Turner drove her vehicle out of Buddy's Garage, she noticed "noises coming from the engine." She took the vehicle to a second garage for further inspection and discovered the transmission had not been repaired or replaced. She attempted to call Buddy's Garage to discuss the transmission issues, but the phone number was disconnected.
Turner also testified about her boyfriend Matthew Smith's involvement with Buddy's Garage. She explained Smith took his vehicle, a Pontiac Grand Am, to Buddy's Garage because "he was having some problems with his tires." Smith could not afford the estimated repairs, "so he took the car home" several days later. Finchem reported the Pontiac as stolen; the report was later dismissed as unfounded.
Carmen Kellett testified she and her husband Michael jointly owned Buddy's Garage. Finchem, their sole employee, ran the day-to-day operations. She stated the repair cost for Turner's vehicle was $3, 867.89, and she received two checks from Turner totaling approximately $4, 315. She explained the $3, 867.89 quote did not cover additional costs such as storage fees and a "paint kit." Sometime in July 2013, Carmen learned Finchem ordered parts for Smith's vehicle but did not install them. She believed Finchem was defrauding Buddy's Garage by using its operating accounts to buy parts but installing them for customers at his home for cash. Thereafter, Carmen fired Finchem, permanently closed down Buddy's Garage, and told Turner to pick up her vehicle.
On cross-examination, Carmen testified she did not regularly interact with customers and assumed Finchem kept Turner informed about the repairs to her vehicle. She admitted she received two checks from Turner and put them in Buddy's Garage's operating account, which Finchem did not have access to. She explained she refunded Turner $130 for labor costs because the front bumper was not installed. However, she did not refund Turner for the transmission, paint kit, or rear bumper.
         The trial court found in favor of Turner on her claims of conversion, fraud, misrepresentation, and violation of the Act.[2] The trial court awarded Turner treble damages in the total amount of $10, 567.86 but denied her requests for ...

Road improvements completed in Coleford
A main route through Coleford has recently been resurfaced by Gloucestershire County Council's highways team.
Work on the B4228 between Coleford Town Centre and the junction with the A4136 (Robin Hood junction) was carried out between August 4 and September 3.
It was carried out in two phases, avoiding peak travel times, to ensure any inconvenience to local residents and businesses was kept to a minimum.
Cllr Vernon Smith, cabinet member for highways, said: "I appreciate that this work was inconvenient but we needed to take action to stop the B4228 from deteriorating further. The only way we will win the battle against potholes is to carry out proper surfacing work so all road users can benefit from our £150 million investment."
Cllr Carole Allaway Martin, county councillor for Coleford, said: "I'm pleased to see this essential resurfacing work has been carried out. It means that all road users can now experience safer journeys."
Further resurfacing work is planned for Station Road and Edenwall Road, Coalway, Coleford, from October 26 to November 19.


A terrible fire broke out today at the iconic Glasgow School of Art, a masterpiece of architecture designed over 100 years ago by modernist trendsetter Charles Rennie Mackintosh. It sounds as though the library and archives have been destroyed, not to mention many priceless pieces of Mackintosh furniture and years' worth of work by the school's current students.
Neil Baxter, of the Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland, told Reporting Scotland: "It is a desperately sad day for Glasgow, for architecture, indeed for the whole of Scotland. We have lost one of our greatest architectural and artistic masterpieces."
I've been following the BBC news all day on this.
Will update tomorrow, when more is known.

RF Cafe Science & Engineering Crossword Puzzle
As with my hundreds of previous science and engineering-themed crossword puzzles, this one for March 1, 2020, contains only clues and terms associated with engineering, science, physical, astronomy, mathematics, chemistry, etc., which I have built up over nearly two decades. Many new words and company names have been added that had not even been created when I started in the year 2002. You will never find a word taxing your knowledge of a numbnut soap opera star or the name of some obscure village in the Andes mountains. You might, however, encounter the name of a movie star like Hedy Lamarr or a geographical location like Tunguska, Russia, for reasons which, if you don't already know, might surprise you.

China NCPA Chorus is the resident chorus of National Centre for the Performing Arts.
China NCPA Chorus was established on December 8th, 2009. WU Lingfen, the famous conductor, serves as its chorus master. As the professional artistic performing group that belongs to the highest palace of performing arts, the chorus adheres to the NCPA's guiding principle of "for the people, for art, for the world" and is recognized as a vigorous professional chorus with infinite potential.
Since its establishment, it has participated in more than 50 operas by NCPA such as opera commissions Xishi, A Village Teacher, The Chinese Orphan, The Beautiful Blue Danube, The Ballad of Canal, Rickshaw Boy, Visitors on the Snow Mountain, Sunrise, The Dawns Here Are Quiet, FANG Zhimin, The Long March, Jinsha River, LAN Huahua and Effendi, and Chinese and foreign classic operas such as The White-Haired Girl, The Red Guards on Honghu Lake, Turandot, Carmen, La Traviata, L'Elisir d'Amore, Tosca, Die Fledermaus, Der Fliegende Holländer, Un Ballo in Maschera, Lohengrin, Les Contes d'Hoffmann, Otello, Nabucco, Le Nozze di Figaro, L'Italiana in Algeri, Il Trovatore, Cavalleria Rusticana & I Pagliacci, Norma, Don Pasquale, Aida, Rigoletto, Il Barbiere di Siviglia, Eugene Onegin, Andrea Chenier, Der Rosenkavalier, Simon Boccanegra, Samson et Dalilah, La Gioconda, Tannhäuser, Macbeth, Rusalka, Lucia di Lammermoor, Tristan und Isolde, Falstaff, Thais, La Figlia del Regimento, Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg, Romeo and Juliet, La sonnambula, Don Giovanni, La fanciulla del West, Les Pecheurs de Peries. Its artistic attainments have won favourable comments from the insiders and audiences. Apart from operas, the chorus has also planned and performed in many large-scale vocal works and theme concerts including Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, Mahler's Second, Third and Eighth Symphonies, Verdi's Requiem, and Concert to Commemorate the 110th Anniversary of HUANG Zi's Birth, the opera concerts such as William Tell, Don Juan and many politically significant state level performances including large-scale music and dance epic Road to Rejuvenation, Victory and Peace–Evening Gala to Commemorate the 70th Anniversary of the Victory of the World Anti-fascist War and the Counter-Japanese War of the Chinese People, Evening Gala for the G20 Hangzhou Summit, the Gala Commemorating the 80th Anniversary of the Victory of the Long March, the gala "Millennial Road" for the Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation, the National Day Celebration Performance Go for the Better, The Sons and Daughters of the Chinese Nation and the opening ceremony of Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games. By means of the concerts, the chorus makes more audiences to understand more of its charm and the artistic spirit of its unremitting efforts.
The masters have given high appraisals to the chorus. The late conductor Lorin Maazel said, "It is a Chorus of passion"; conductor Daniel Oren, who was excited after rehearsal, said, "This is the chorus that has the best sound I have ever heard. Young as they are, they are better than many of the choruses in Europe"; conductor Antonio Pappano said, "This is a youthful and passionate chorus that has been well trained to sound wonderful and harmonious"; the world famous tenor Domingo once said, "I am honoured to cooperate with these gifted young artists".
As the singing envoy of zeitgeist, the chorus has always been paying attention to fostering audience, supporting and participating in the artistic education and popularization activities of NCPA. It actively plans and participates in NCPA's Weekend Concert series, Classic Art Lectures series, and appears in more than 40 public benefit events held in schools, communities, enterprises, militar camps and hospitals every year to help popularize elegant art, so as to improve people's aesthetic taste. Meanwhile, the chorus commits itself to introducing NCPA's artistic productions and outstanding classic works to audiences at home and abroad.
Beijing, in the new century, is full of the prosperous atmosphere of elegant art. The young artists of the chorus devote their most vigorous and dynamic youth to the cause of China's opera, and strive for dream and art!

6. Old White House inits. : HST
Harry Truman wanted to go to West Point having served with the Missouri Army National Guard on active duty in WWI, but he couldn't get in because of his poor eyesight. Young Truman didn't have the money to pay for college anywhere else. He did manage to study for two years towards a law degree at the Kansas City Law School in the twenties, but he never finished his schooling. So, Harry S. Truman was the last US President (out of a list of ten) who did not have a college degree.
16. Laughing ___ : HYENA
The spotted hyena od Sub-Saharan Africa is also known as the laughing hyena because of the sound it oftens makes, which resembles maniacal laughter.
20. N.Y.C. line : IRT
The Interborough Rapid Transit Company (IRT) was the original private operator of the New York Subway when it opened in 1904. The city took over ownership of the system in 1940, but the lines originally operated by the IRT are still known by the IRT moniker.
21. Some bulls : ELK
Male elk are called "bulls" and female elk are called "cows".
22. Stranded message? : SOS
The combination of three dots – three dashes – three dots, is a Morse signal first introduced by the German government as a standard distress call in 1905. The sequence is remembered as the letters SOS (three dots – pause – three dashes – pause – three dots), although in the emergency signal there is no pause between the dots and dashes, so SOS is in effect only a mnemonic. Similarly, the phrases "Save Our Souls" and "Save Our Ship" are also mnemonics, introduced after the "SOS" signal was adopted.
28. Museum funding org. : NEA
The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) is an agency funded by the federal government that offers support and financing for artistic projects. The NEA was created by an Act of Congress in 1965. Between 1965 and 2008, the NEA awarded over $4 billion to the arts, with Congress authorizing around $170 million annually through the eighties and much of the nineties. That funding was cut to less than $100 million in the late nineties due to pressure from conservatives concerned about the use of funds, but it is now back over the $150 million mark. I wonder how long that will last though …
30. Pajama-clad exec : HEF
Hugh Hefner is from Chicago. His first publishing job was in the military, where he worked as a writer for a US Army newspaper from 1944-46. He went to college after his military service and then worked as a copywriter for "Esquire" magazine. He left "Esquire" to found his own publication that he called "Playboy", which first hit the newsstands in 1953. "Playboy" has been around ever since.
38. Stretch (out) : EKE
To "eke out" means to "make something go further or last longer". For example, you could eke out your income by cutting back on expenses. I always have a problem with the commonly cited definition of "eke out" as "barely get by". Close but no cigar, I say …
39. Besmirch : TAR
"Besmirch" is a derivative of "smirch", with both words meaning to "make dirty". In particular, to besmirch is to sully someone's reputation.
46. Google finding : HIT
The search engine "Google" was originally called "BackRub" would you believe? The name was eventually changed to Google, an intentional misspelling of the word "googol". A googol is a pretty big number, 10 to the power of 100. That would be the digit 1 followed by 100 zeros.
47. Cool : DEF
The slang word "def" meaning "excellent, cool" may come from the word "definite". A word I'd only come across in crosswords …
55. Rocky mount : TOR
A tor is a high rocky hill. "Tor" comes from the Old English "torr", the word for a tower or rock, which in turn comes from the Old Welsh "twrr" meaning a heap or a pile.

Arn was the eldest son of Prince Valiant, the comic strip hero. Edward, the Duke of Windsor, called the "Prince Valiant" comic strip the "greatest contribution to English Literature in the past one hundred years". I'm not so sure …
64. Onetime big name in daytime talk : ROSIE
We don't get to see Rosie O'Donnell on the screen very much these days. She had a very successful chat show that ran from 1996 to 2002. My favorite performance of hers on the big screen is in a supporting role to Meg Ryan in the 1993 movie "Sleepless in Seattle".
65. Georges who wrote "Life: A User's Manual" : PEREC
Georges Perec was a French novelist. Perec's most famous work is "La vie mode d'emploi", or "Life: A User's Manual".
66. See 67-Across : TOT
67. With 66-Across, little source of carbs : TATER
Ore-Ida founders came up with the idea for Tater Tots when they were deciding what to do with residual cuts of potato. They chopped up the leftovers, added flour and seasoning, and extruded the mix through a large hole making a sausage that they cut into small cylinders. We eat 70 million pounds of this extruded potato every year!
1. "___ of fools sailing on" (Wang Chung lyric) : A SHIP
Wang Chung is a New Wave band from England who had a big hit in 1986 with "Everybody Have Fun Tonight". The music video for "Everybody Have Fun Tonight" was a little controversial as it included images flashing quickly across the screen, which caused some viewers to have epileptic seizures. "Wang chung" is the first note on the Chinese music scale, and translates literally as "yellow bell".
2. 1998's ___ Report : STARR
Remember Ken Starr of Whitewater fame? Starr is now President of Baylor University in Waco, Texas.
3. Notorious 1960s figure : BOSTON STRANGLER
"Boston Strangler" is a name given to the person who murdered several women in Boston, Massachusetts in the early sixties. A serial rapist named Albert DeSalvo confessed to the murders while under arrest for the rapes, but later recanted this confession. DeSalvo was sentenced to life in prison, and was stabbed to death in a prison infirmary in 1973. Because DeSalvo withdrew his confession to the stranglings, some people doubt that the Boston Strangler was ever brought to justice.
5. Company of which Thomas Edison was once a director : GENERAL ELECTRIC
The General Electric Company is usually referred to simply as "GE". One of the precursor companies to GE was Edison General Electric, founded in 1890 by the inventor Thomas Edison. What we know today as GE was formed two years later when Edison merged his company with Charles Coffin's Thomson-Houston Electric Company. In 1896, GE was selected as one of the 12 companies listed on the newly formed Dow Jones Industrial Average. GE is the only one of the original 12 that is still on that list. I spent over ten years with GE at the beginning of my working career, and in fact it was GE that asked me to transfer to the US back in the 1980s …
7. One perhaps having one too many : SOT
Our word "sot" comes from the Old English "sott", meaning a fool. The word "sot" started to be associated with alcohol and not just foolery in the late 1500s.
9. Large portion of Africa : THE SAHARA DESERT
The name "Sahara" means "greatest desert" in Arabic and it is just that, a great desert covering almost 4 million square miles of Northern Africa. That's almost the size of the United States.
10. Cries of despair : OYS
"Oh vey" is a Yiddish expression of dismay which literally translates as "oh, pain".
11. Source of hardwood? : PETRIFIED FOREST

13. Consumer products firm since 1837, informally : P AND G
Procter & Gamble was a founded in 1837 by William Procter and James Gamble. Procter was a candlemaker, an immigrant from England. Gamble was a soapmaker, an immigrant from Ireland. The pair had settled in Cincinnati and married two sisters. Their father-in-law persuaded the two to set up in business together, and rest is history.
18. Dockworker's grp. : ILA
The International Longshoremen's Association (ILA).
19. Infomercial pioneer Popeil : RON
Ron Popeil is an inventor who is well known for appearing in infomercials for his own products. One of the more famous infomercials is for his Showtime Rotisserie, which he touts with the phrase "Set it, and forget it!". Popeil's company is called Ronco.
25. Fig. at the top of an organizational chart : CEO
26. Lao-___ : TZE
Lao Tse (also Lao-Tzu) was a central figure in the development of the religion/philosophy of Taoism.
27. Asian holiday : TET
The full name for the New Year holiday in Vietnam is Tet Nguyen Dan, meaning "Feast of the First Morning". Tet usually falls on the same day as Chinese New Year.
31. Big maker of S.U.V.'s : GMC
GMC is a division of General Motors (GM) established in 1901 that started out as "GMC Truck".
The term SUV, an acronym for Sports Utility Vehicle, was introduced by our marketing friends. Using the term Sports Utility Vehicle was a very clever way to get us to pay a lot of money for what was essentially a station wagon on a truck chassis, or at least it was back then.
32. Moody's rating : AAA
Moody's is a credit rating agency which ranks the credit-worthiness of borrowers, a service also provided by Standard & Poor's. Moody's was started in 1909 by John Moody when he published a book containing analysis of railroad securities.
33. Presidential nickname : IKE
There doesn't seem to be any good reason why President Eisenhower was called "Ike". However, it is known that the nickname dates back to his childhood as his parents called him "Ike" as well as "Dwight".
34. It may be clicked on a computer : TAB
Like most features on our computer keyboards, the tab key is a hangover from the days of typewriters. When using a typewriter, making entries into a table was very tedious as it involved lots of tapping on the spacebar and backspace key. So, a lever was added to typewriters that allowed the operator to "jump" across the page to positions that could be set by hand. Later this was simplified to a tab key, which could be depressed causing the carriage to jump to the next tab stop in much the same way that the modern tab key works on a computer.
35. Cargo on the Spanish Main : ORO
"Oro, plata, bronce" is "gold, silver, bronze" in Spanish.
42. Fraternity letter : ETA
When one thinks of the word "main" in the context of the sea, the Spanish Main usually comes to mind. Indeed, the use of the more general term "main", meaning the sea, originates from the more specific "Spanish Main". "Spanish Main" originally referred to land and not water, as it was the name given to the mainland coast around the Caribbean Sea in the days of Spanish domination of the region.
43. Start of a cheer : SIS
"Sis boom bah" is apparently a popular cheer in American high schools and colleges (I didn't know that!). The term was also used by Johnny Carson when he was playing the character Carnac the Magnificent.
44. Japanese computer giant : NEC
NEC is the name that the Nippon Electric Company chose for itself outside of Japan after a re-branding exercise in 1983.
49. Tropical lizard : ANOLE
Anoles are a family of lizards found in the Americas. Anoles can change the color of their skin, so are sometimes called American chameleons.
50. Mauna ___ : LOA
Mauna Loa on the "big island" of Hawaii is the largest volcano on the planet (in terms of volume). The name "Mauna Loa" is Hawaiian for "Long Mountain".
51. Mineo of movies : SAL
Sal Mineo's most famous role was John "Plate" Crawford, the kid who was in awe of the James Dean character in "Rebel Without a Cause". Sadly, Mineo was murdered in 1976 when he was just 37 years old. He was attacked in the alley behind his Los Angeles apartment and stabbed through the heart. When an arrest was made it was discovered that the murderer had no idea that his victim was a celebrity, and that his plan was just to rob anyone who came along.
60. ___-Magnon : CRO
Remains of early man, dating back to 35,000 years ago, were found in Abri de Cro-Magnon in southwest France, giving the name to those early humans. Cro-Magnon remains are the oldest human relics that have been discovered in Europe.
61. Intl. broadcaster : VOA
