Die Familie Le Riche (oder Leriche) war eng mit den mächtigen organisierten Pariser Flussschiffern (marchands d'eau) verbunden, den Erben der gallorömischen Nautae Parisiaci, die unter anderem das Rechte zur Klassifizierung und zum Abmessen von Weinen und das Recht zur Beschlagnahme von Ladungen besaßen, wenn eine Verletzung des geltenden Rechts vorlag.

Die Le Riche besaßen zur Zeit der ersten Kapetinger-Könige zahlreiche zuvor monastische Güter, nachdem sie sich in den Jahrzehnten zuvor, also in den Zeiten des schwachen karolingischen Königtums im 10. Jahrhundert am Besitz der Abtei Saint-Germain-des-Prés bereichert hatten. Als Vertraute und Verbündete der Kapetinger erwarben sie das Amt des königlichen Prévôt de Paris in quasi erblicher Form, das sie bis zum Anfang des 12. Jahrhunderts behielten, und wurden in dieser Zeit oft als Grafen oder Vizegrafen von Paris bezeichnet, obwohl die Grafschaft Paris 1016 aufgehoben worden war. Mehrere Mitglieder stiegen in die höchsten Beamtenränge des Königreichs (Großkammerherr, Großkämmerer) unter mehreren Königen auf, oder amtierten als Bischöfe (u. a. als Bischof von Paris) und Erzbischöfe.

Den Namen "Le Riche" führte die Familie nur in den ersten Generationen, später nannten sich die einzelnen Zweige der Familie nach ihrer wichtigsten Seigneurie (z. B. La Chapelle, Maule und Villebéon), was die Klärung der familiären Verbindungen schwierig macht. So stehen die Le Riche am Anfang von (oder in enger Verbindung mit) folgenden Familien:
 Senlis und Bouteiller de Senlis, Seigneurs de Chantilly et d'Ermenonville,
 Montépilloy und Luzarches bis zum 14. Jahrhundert,
 Garlande,
 Vicomtes de Pontoise,
 Comtes de Beaumont-sur-Oise (s. Adam I. de Beaumont),
 Comtes de Clermont-sur-Oise,
 Clermont-Nesle,
 Seigneurs de Gallardon, de Lèves et d'Auneau,
 Prévôts, später Seigneurs de Chambly,
 Seigneurs de Chevreuse,
 Seigneurs de Montlhéry,
 Seigneurs d'Étampes.

Herkunft
Die in der Familie Le Riche häufig vorkommenden Namen Thion und Guarin weisen auf eine Verwandtschaft mit bzw. Abstammung von Warin von Poitou (Gerwin, Guérin, † 679), Graf von Paris und Stammvater der Widonen, und Teudon (Thion, † um 945), Vizegraf und Graf von Paris hin. Der Name Lisiard wiederum deutet auf Bischof Leodegar von Autun (Saint Léger, † 678), den Bruder Warins.

A loose connection between a timer and a computer led some of the world's smartest particle physicists to conclude that certain tiny particles called neutrinos moved faster than the speed of light -- a declaration that shocked the science world and would have called into questions Einstein's theories.
But rather than invalidating the stunning superspeed finding, the flaw may have led scientists to underestimate it.
Citing sources familiar with the experiment, Science magazine's website reported Wednesday that the 60-nanoseconds discrepancy that led to the startling speed conclusion came from a bad connection in a fiber optic cable connecting a GPS receiver (used to correct the timing of the neutrinos' flight) and a computer.
Yet a Thursday morning statement from CERN's OPERA team, the European science group that first reported the faster-than-light finding, noted that the faulty cable could have led to an undercalculation instead.
Neutrinos could move even faster than the speed of light than previously suggested, in other words.
"The optical fiber connector ... brings the external GPS signal to the OPERA master clock," explained the science lab, and it "may not have been functioning correctly when the measurements were taken. If this is the case, it could have led to an underestimate of the time of flight of the neutrinos."
A second issue with the study involves an oscillator used to provide the time stamps for the GPS synchronization. Flaws with that gadget may have led to an overestimate of speeds -- keeping neutrinos in line with Einstein's theories.
Needless to say, CERN plans new tests.
"The potential extent of these two effects is being studied by the OPERA collaboration. New measurements with short pulsed beams are scheduled for May," the science team said.
Einstein theorized that the speed of light in a vacuum -- approximately 186,280 miles per second, or about 700 million miles per hour -- is an absolute speed limit, and used the value in his famous formula, E = mc2.
Rewriting the theories based on this speed limit would have made an array of science fiction ideas more plausible -- even time travel -- yet that's exactly what scientists said last year, stunning the science community.
The theory that some tiny bits of matter were whizzing along faster than Einstein thought possible was announced in Sept. 2011, when physicists with the CERN lab in Switzerland said they observed neutrinos completing a 454-mile racecourse faster than a beam of light would.
When announcing their follow-up finding in November, scientists at the Italian Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN) said that their tests were intended to exclude one potential effect that may have affected the original measurement.
"A measurement so delicate and carrying a profound implication on physics requires an extraordinary level of scrutiny," said Fernando Ferroni, president of the INFN.
Apparently, yet more scrutiny was required.
"It's very hard to find an error by reading a paper," particle physicist Rob Roser of the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) in Batavia, Ill., said Friday at an annual science meeting.
"What you need is for someone else to make the measurement. We'll see what happens."

And So We Dream – my latest novel
Published on April 14, 2022 May 25, 2022 by Linda Mahkovec - Author5 Comments
Anne, Vita, Beth. They were hippie girls. Teenagers. Long flowing hair, embroidered peasant tops, long skirts, dangling earrings, bare feet. Pulled one way by the tradition of their small Mid-Western town, another by the promise of the wide world outside.
Twelve-year-old Joey Roland spends the summer with them while his parents "work things out." He soon discovers that, like the home he left behind in Chicago, the small town of Greenberry is also filled with sadness – loss, betrayal, fears, and disappointment.
The difference is that the three sisters – especially the middle one who pursues the path of acting – teach him how to infuse ordinary life with magic, adventure, and joy.
The result is a summer of transformation, and, for Joey, new-found confidence in his dream path.

And So We Dream
Published on February 19, 2022 March 21, 2022 by Linda Mahkovec - Author12 Comments
My new novel, And So We Dream, is now available for pre-order on Amazon, Kobo, and iTunes (and will be available on Barnes & Noble and Google Play in a few days,) with a release date of March 1st.
In this coming-of-age story set against the backdrop of the Vietnam War, a lonely boy finds acceptance when he spends the summer in a loving family with three beautiful daughters.
Twelve-year-old Joey Roland is sent away to family friends while his parents try to work things out. He's eager to leave sadness and secrets behind in Chicago and head downstate to the small town of Greenberry, where the Vitale family awaits him. He thinks of their town as boyland—a world of bike riding, fishing, and going barefoot. Though initially shy of the teenaged daughters—Anne, Vita, and Beth—they welcome him into their lives of adventure, beauty, and dreams.
Joey especially bonds with the middle sister, Vita, and her all-or-nothing pursuit of an acting career. Joey's "there must be more" merges with Vita's "I must make it happen" resulting in a magical summer where the town of Greenberry becomes the crucible for two desperate dreamers.
Though the story is not autobiographical (alas), many of the details are rooted in my life. The fictional small town of Greenberry is based on my hometown of Carlinville, in south-central Illinois, and I was one of three teenaged sisters during the 1970s (along with two younger brothers). At the encouragement–and example–of our mother, we approached life as a wonderful adventure, with each day to be savored, and dreams to be taken seriously and actively pursued.
As with all my books, AND SO WE DREAM is very much about stepping into a world of beauty, wonder, longing, and, ultimately, transformation.

My next book, And So We Dream, takes place in the summer of 1970 in a small Midwestern town, much like the one where I was born and raised — Carlinville, Illinois. So on a recent trip back there, I paid close attention to the sounds, scents, colors, and feel of summertime. The train whistle, the low hum of lawnmowers, the warbling of robins. The scents of freshly-cut grass, strawberries from the local orchard, and flowering bushes that perfume the humid air. The colors of summer — shades of green and blue.
My visit was in June, one of my favorite times of year back there. Everything is green and lush, and flowers grow in abundance — masses of wild honeysuckle, cornflowers alongside country roads, shady green meadows dotted with wildflowers.
Though it is now fifty years later from the action in the story, much of the town and countryside remain the same. Long stretches of country roads —
including a few parts of historical Old Route 66, just outside of town.
Tree-lined streets with beautiful old homes,
and small-town charm woven throughout.
Other places show the passage of time: the old wooden bridges that can still be found out in the country,
an abandoned farm house,
peaceful old cemeteries with tombstones leaning this way and that.
There's a sense of sky and openness that impresses with its beauty and grandeur. The sky dominates the landscape with every-changing drama
and stunning sunsets that are commonplace.
In my new book, a young boy remembers how they found pictures in the clouds, and I found myself doing the same: A lotus cloud! The profile of a lady? a Roman emperor? a marble bust? it shifts before I can decide.
A low line of clouds and trees that seemed to march on together in the same formation.
Storm clouds and rain over a farm in the distance, an illuminated puff over the grain elevator.
Though I left the Midwest many years ago, those formative years in small-town Illinois form the core of who I am. I am grateful to have been raised in such a specific place, so quintessentially American — though I imagine everyone feels something similar.
Wherever we end up, our hometown forms a part of us that no other place can fill.
(And So We Dream will be available later this summer.)

Summertime – Farms and the Country in the CHRISTMASTIME series
Published on August 18, 2019 September 24, 2020 by Linda Mahkovec - Author4 Comments
I was born and raised in small-town Illinois, and the countryside played an important role in shaping my idea of the world – the sense of openness and wide skies, the beauty of the changing seasons, the rhythms of the land.
Though I never lived on a farm, country life was an integral part of the area and its presence was felt in the farms and orchards surrounding the town, in my classmates who lived on farms, in the county fair with displays of livestock and ribbons won for home-baked goods, canning, and 4-H projects.
And though my family lived in town, the country and farms were still a part of our lives. We used to drive out into the country to buy eggs from one farmer, and honey from another old-timer who kept bees. Some of my brothers and sisters earned money over the summer by detasseling corn, and we all learned to drive on those long, straight country roads.
Once, my dad took us out to glean a cornfield. A picture of Millet's The Gleaners hung in my friend's living room, and I thought gleaning sounded like an old-fashioned, romantic thing to do –
though I imagine the purpose of our outing was to show us the value of a dollar, part of the Midwestern work ethic that was woven into everything back then. We piled into the back of my dad's pickup and drove out to a farm. With bags and buckets in hand, we began gleaning the cornfield of ears of corn missed by the combine. There was something fun and adventuresome about it, like being on a treasure hunt. After several hours, we emptied our bags into the bed of the truck, and then took our harvest to the grain elevator – we each made $2.
Probably because I never lived on a farm, I've always romanticized about it (though I know farming is backbreaking work with long hours, and farmers are at the mercy of the weather). It is that romanticized version the country and farms that made its way into my Christmastime books in the storylines that take place on Kate's farm in Illinois.

The Christmastime stories — rural and small-town Midwest
Published on December 13, 2017 September 24, 2020 by Linda Mahkovec - AuthorLeave a comment
The Christmastime books, stories of love and family on the home front during the World War II years, portray an America with one foot firmly in the past and the other poised on the threshold of change. The setting for these stories, for the most part, is New York City. However, a few storylines are set in the rural Midwest.
I was born and raised in small-town Illinois and the beauty of the landscape there — old farm houses set among fields and pastures, trains running to and from the small towns, the woods and orchards that change with the time of year — has always had a strong pull on me. The seasons are rich and distinctive, and the snowy winter setting perfect for the Christmastime stories.
In the first book of the series, Christmastime 1940, we find that Charles Drooms' past is deeply rooted in rural Illinois, and there are a few flashbacks to his boyhood and life on the farm that explain many of his decisions later in life.
In a later book, there's a scene where Lillian works on a series of illustrations depicting the role of women on the farm. With so many men enlisted, women had to step into the workforce and fill jobs that had recently been held by men. Lillian draws on her memories of visiting Kate's farm in the summer of 1941.
Beginning in Christmastime 1943, a key storyline takes place on Kate's farm involving her daughters, Ursula and Jessica, and the German POWs who work on the farm while Kate's sons are away at war. The scenes depict the connection of living close to the land with the rhythms of the seasons, and the rigor and back-breaking work required by farm life.
The farm scenes help to portray a period when time moved more slowly, and a place where most foods were locally grown and cooking was done from scratch.
A time when the home arts played an important role in day-to-day living,
and small-town life offered simple charm and the opportunity for visiting and shopping.
The tension between the beauty and bleakness of the Midwestern winter landscape also serves to reflect the complexities in Ursula, a young woman often driven by opposing impulses.
And on a larger scale, the small town and farm scenes offer a counterpoint to the New York City scenes. The tranquility and wholesomeness of the countryside serve as a reminder of how much was at stake in the war.
The rural setting also represents the tens of thousands of young men, such as Kate's four sons, who left their small towns and farms to fight in Europe and the Pacific. For many of them, it was the first time ever leaving home. For them, the very idea of "home," and everything it symbolized, became a deeply cherished and protected ideal.

Summer — in The Christmastime Series
Published on July 24, 2017 September 24, 2020 by Linda Mahkovec - Author1 Comment
Summer. A languid time of year that seems to move more slowly than the other seasons. Perhaps because the days are longer, or perhaps because many people are on vacation and the children are out of school, or perhaps because more time is spent outside, it is a rich time of year that creates indelible memories.
Memories of summer occasionally surface for some of the characters in my WWII Christmastime series, where most of the action is set in the cold and snow of December.
Christmastime 1940: A Love Story
Christmastime 1941
Christmastime 1943: A Wartime Romance
Though the stories take place on the home front, mostly in New York City, the events of the war shape the characters' lives, making them fearful, anxious, and dreading the unknown. Adding to the tension are the attacks that take place in December — Pearl Harbor in 1941, and the surprise German counter-offensive in December 1944 that began the Battle of the Bulge.
For these characters, summer memories of a gentler and safer time soften the harsh realities of war-time living. They remember bike rides along country roads, gathering garden flowers to place on the kitchen table and in bedrooms, afternoon picnics, a moonlit swim.
One memory in particular evokes the beauty and longing of late summer. In Christmastime 1941, Charles takes Lillian and her two sons to visit his sister Kate, who lives on a farm in Illinois. Lillian and Kate sit on the farmhouse porch in the late afternoon.
Lillian helped Kate finish the laundry, and then sat with her on the front porch, shucking corn for dinner.
A beautiful August day surrounded them in all its fullness and simple charm. A gentle breeze rustled the leaves high in the pin oaks, and fluttered the laundry on the clothes line, causing the white billowing sheets to snap softly now and then. The wide porch surrounded them with views of the corn and soybean fields stretching to the horizon. To the east stood a cluster of tall trees, their leaves a dark, dusty, late-summer green, with some leaves already edged in brown. And before them, Kate's flowers along the lane – a tall tangle of orange, yellow, white, and blues – tiger lilies and daisies, cornflowers and asters.
Lillian lifted her face to catch the afternoon breeze, and caught the scent of honeysuckle that covered the fence along the lane.
The wind alternately muffled and then sharpened the sounds of Tommy and Gabriel playing horseshoes with Kate's sons: dull thuds as the horseshoes fell on the earth, clinks of metal as they hit their mark or landed on each other, mixed with clapping, laughing, good-natured disputing. Lillian had felt suffused with a sense of well-being, surrounded by an earthy loveliness.
Afternoon picnics, gardens in bloom, ripe fruits and vegetables, lush trees and fields — summer is the time of year when some of our strongest memories are born.

THE TRUE COST OF THE PENSION LEVY
Written by Anthony Casey on October 3, 2011 . Posted in Legal Briefs, News Round up
The new 0.6% pensions levy – which will net the government €1.65 billion – must be passed on to pensioners or it may threaten the solvency of existing underfunded defined benefit pension plans according to the pensions industry. In documents obtained through a Fianna Fail Freedom of Information Act request, senior civil servants warned cabinet ministers that any levy on the pension industry to fund a jobs initiative would hurt the sector while pension executives said it would ultimately hit pensioners benefits, says the Sunday Times.
The Association of Pension Lawyers in Ireland was one of many pension experts to condemn the tax. "The proposed levy places an additional, inequitable and disproportionate burden on the private sector. It also seems to use to breach the principles of non-retrospective penal legislation and ability to pay" said Catherine Austin, its chairman.
It was also revealed that social protection minister Joan Burton said the levy would lead to a fall in the payment of benefits to pensioners. It is unlikely that many, if any, schemes will be able to afford to pay the levy without passing the costs on to scheme members."
Meanwhile public sector unions reacted angrily about proposed future reforms that would see the pensions age raised to 66, high earners forced to pay more into their schemes and members' pensions based on actual pay rather than final salary. Unlike their private sector counterparts though the schemes for new recruits "will remain defined benefit, a concept that has long since disappeared for new recruits to the private sector" says a Sunday Times editorial.

Dec is one gut-rolling hang-over after yet another. "Oners" change in to "bottles", and "jolly lunch" is a convention pissup that's nonetheless occurring, true halfheartedly, 2 4 hrs after it began. It's a start that is alcohol.
Denying that is useless; attempting to hold on to the lorry is the path to some disastrous fall in the next week, calling for countless a large number and pounds of recriminations. The most effective strategy will be to take yours workout without giving to some unlikely and dull abstinence, the best way to combat the toxins, and may be a month.
"Drink a glass of water between alcohol!" crows your mom. "It will quit that angry head a day later!" When you are slurping pictures and mine-sweeping international G&T S from shadowy edges, a couple of swigs of water may just show to your inferior, tissues that are dry. Also, the single water faucet only at that house celebration is in the part of the kitchen, which will be not empty of folks doing the condom challenge and rifling absentmindedly through compartments that are cutlery.
Another morning it is felt by you, and you are heading away again-this night. Today, water must be drunk by you; sadly, on several hangovers, your gut transforms. Get glowing water as an alternative.
Or consume it in its types that are more efficient. Great tea is wonderful for skin and still on the belly, and greentea is "a supply of catechols which have been proven to cause operation of cleansing nutrients," describes Gabriela Peacock, a dietary psychologist and creator of GP Diet.
But it's Dec tomorrow, and following your first huge hang-over you will sense so addled that you will Yahoo supplement B-12 and "IV infusions", dreaming about redemption.
Nutritional supplements my work perform. On the other hand, they may be a victory of mind-over-matter. But also in the event the result is a placebo, that is whatever you want. Consume some sow thistle before a particular date — it apparently minimizes the effect of alcohol. Throw a basic Berocca (although a Alkaseltzer is mo-Re delicate if you are at your table); press some ginger into your miserable hang-over stirfry. C and B seemingly neutralise the effect of booze.


The Customers First Coalition has been involved with some of the most significant state energy policies over the last two decades.
Act 40 directed the Public Service Commission to establish uniform, statewide permitting standards for the siting of wind energy systems of the size 100 Megawatts or less.
Act 141 incorporates the recommendations of the Governor's Task Force on Energy Efficiency and Renewables. Several members of the Customers First Coalition served as members of the task force. Act 141 provided funding security for the Focus on Energy program and established a ten percent renewable portfolio standard.
This Act increased the financial aid available to communities to host new power plants.
The leased generation law allows the Public Service Commission to choose long term leases as the financing mechanism for new power plants while preserving the PSC's jurisdiction over the operation and maintenance of these leased plants.
Reliability 2000 encouraged the divestiture of utilities' transmission assets to an independent transmission company (American Transmission Company). This Act created a new statewide energy efficiency and energy assistance program and it established the state renewable portfolio standard.
The Reliability Act sought to increase generation capacity and improve the transmission system in the state.
Enacted in 1985, the Holding Company Act balances the interests of utility investors, customers, and the state by permitting utilities to form holding companies with limited diversification in exchange for reasonable regulatory controls to protect consumers. The Customers First Coalition supports the Holding Company Act and successfully defended a challenge to the law in 2002.

'Preserving Democracy' documentary to air on anniversary of Capitol riot
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette (TNS)
One year ago Thursday, rioters stormed the U.S. Capitol as Congress was meeting to certify Joe Biden's victory in the 2020 presidential election. PBS will mark the occasion with a documentary that aims to discover how this country got to such a breaking point.
"Preserving Democracy: Pursuing a More Perfect Union" will air Thursday at 9 p.m. ET on PBS. It "chronicles the history of the democratic system from its origins to the present," according to a PBS press release. That includes going all the way back to the American Revolution and exploring other landmark moments including Reconstruction, the civil rights movement and the presidential paths of Barack Obama and Donald Trump.
"Preserving Democracy" also delves into the formation of the U.S. House select committee to investigate the attack, which resulted in five deaths and at least 140 injuries. Among those interviewed for the documentary are Valerie Jarrett, a former senior adviser to President Obama; Janet Napolitano, a former U.S. secretary of Homeland Security; and Fiona Hill, a former official at the U.S. National Security Council.
More:A year after Jan. 6, nation's memory of the Capitol riot is divided
More:Jan. 6 committee seeks interview with GOP Rep. Scott Perry
More:Events in York County to commemorate Jan. 6 attack
The documentary is narrated by actor Tamara Tunie.
"I was compelled to be a part of this important look at the events of Jan. 6, 2021, and its context, historically," Tunie told the Post-Gazette in a statement. "I was pleased to learn, during the recording of this documentary, that civics courses are being re-instituted in school curricula. We all need to understand how a democratic government is supposed to function."
Executive producer Dana Roberson the hope is that "Preserving Democracy" will inspire viewers to take a more active role in maintaining the United States' democratic ideals.
"The Capitol insurrection stunned our nation and shook the foundation of our government to its core," Roberson said in a press release. "Through this documentary, we encourage people to think critically about the future of our nation and the role we each play in preserving our democracy."

Free the Eyebrow Threaders
By Ilya Shapiro
One of the encouraging signs for the future of liberty is the spread of state‐based groups engaging in constitutional litigation, often with a focus on economic liberty — protecting the right to earn an honest living and thus to pursue the American Dream. That's why I recently joined the Mississippi Center for Public Policy (MCPP) as a nonresident senior fellow and chairman of the board of advisors to MCPP's legal arm, the Mississippi Justice Institute (MJI).
Today, MJI filed a new federal lawsuit and joined the ongoing legal fight against occupational licensing laws. MJI's client is Dipa Bhattarai, a Mississippi eyebrow threader.
If you don't know, eyebrow threading is a very safe method of hair removal that doesn't involve the use of sharp implements, harsh chemicals, or heat. Instead, threading artists use nothing but twisted cotton thread, acting like a mini‐lasso, to remove stray hair. It's also much more precise, convenient, and affordable than waxing and tweezing. It's an ancient technique that has been practiced for centuries in South Asian countries like Nepal, where Dipa was born.
Dipa was attending the Mississippi University for Women when she saw an opportunity to pursue her dream of starting a business. When she threaded her friends' eyebrows as a favor, word quickly spread across campus of this superior technique. She soon had more classmates asking for her help than she could keep up with. Seeing an unserved market, Dipa opened a threading business with her brother. In less than two years, they opened a second location and hired four employees to accommodate all of their customers.
Dipa was truly living her American Dream — until an inspector from the Mississippi State Board of Cosmetology showed up and forced her to shut down her business. Dipa did not have an esthetician's license, you see, which is required for beauty care in Mississippi.
The problem is that obtaining an esthetician's license requires taking 600 hours of beauty school classes — which can cost up to $12,000 — even though the classes don't teach anything about eyebrow threading.
Fortunately, Dipa will have some persuasive authority in her corner. Our friends at the Institute for Justice won a similar case in Texas in 2015. In Patel v. Texas Department of Licensing & Regulation, the Texas Supreme Court faced a state constitutional challenge to a rule that threaders obtain esthetician licenses requiring 750 hours of irrelevant instruction.
The Texas Supreme Court adopted a new standard of review that was more stringent on regulations impinging on economic liberty than federal "rational basis" review. Notably, Justice Don Willett (now a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit), joined by two other colleagues on the nine‐member court, insisted in his concurrence that the law would have been struck down even under the rational‐basis standard.
If you missed it, then‐Judge Willett's concurrence is worth a read. Indeed, it almost certainly propelled him onto President's Trump's list of potential Supreme Court nominees. Here is a sample:
This case concerns far more than whether Ashish Patel can pluck unwanted hair with a strand of thread. This case is fundamentally about the American Dream and the unalienable human right to pursue happiness without curtsying to government on bended knee. It is about whether government can connive with rent‐seeking factions to ration liberty unrestrained, and whether judges must submissively uphold even the most risible encroachments.
I'll be anxiously watching to see if MJI can prove Willett right: irrelevant licenses for eyebrow threaders can't survive even rational‐basis scrutiny. It's time to free the eyebrow threaders from this hairy situation.

Where are Britain's fastest property markets?
The latest analysis of the UK property market by Zoopla takes a look at where you can expect to sell your home in the least amount of time in Britain.
The property portal has been crunching the numbers and found that the average property in the UK takes 56 days to go under offer from when first listed.
But where can you sell your home in less time?
According to the data, Edinburgh and Falkirk are host to the fastest moving property markets in Britain, with homes listed for sale in the areas taking an average of just 27 days to go under offer, compared to the British average. Zoopla also analysed home sales in the top 50 biggest towns to identify the most commonly sold property type and average price in each location.
With regards to the fastest moving property markets, Glasgow is in third place where properties go under offer in an average of 31 days. Elsewhere in Scotland, Stirling is in fourth place (32 days); and heading down to Wales, Cardiff is in fifth place (37 days). On a regional level, Scotland and the West Midlands are both home to the speediest property markets with the average 'for sale' listing going under offer in 42 and 46 days respectfully. Homes in Blackpool take the longest to go under offer, with a relatively slow average of 71 days, one day longer than property in London.
When it comes to the most commonly sold property type, in Manchester a three bedroom semi detached property is the most sought after, with the average price of a three bed semi in the city being £196,514. In Bristol, a three bedroom terraced house is the most commonly purchased, selling for £280,851 on average. In London, two bedroom flats top the list, with the typical two bed flat priced at £610,439.
Annabel Dixon, spokesperson for Zoopla comments: "Despite widespread reports of a subdued housing market, Brits may be surprised that it takes less than two months for the average British property to go under offer from the date it was first listed for sale.
The key is to get your pricing correct, meaning the best way to sell your home quickly is to ask for its true value given the current market. Overpriced homes won't shift and may have to be discounted and on the flip side nobody wants to sell for less than their property is worth.
Zoopla is a great place to start. It provides estimates of how much every home is worth in the UK and our AgentFinder tool can put sellers in touch with agents who know the local market inside out.
It's important to state that wherever in the country you are buying, it will pay dividends to get your finances and paperwork in good order ahead of time.
Buyers outside Scotland should also ask the seller's agent to take the property off the market once their offer has been accepted to help pave the way for a smooth transaction."

Multi-Plug Outlet adds multiple outlets quickly and easily.
Multi-Plug Outlet adds multiple outlets quickly and easily. The low profile, wall hugging, side socket plug in design allows furniture to fit closer to the wall. No more kinked or broken cords.
The Multi-Plug outlet as seen on TV turns any standard 2 plug wall outlet into a hard working 6-oulet center. Perfect for the family room, bedroom, office and more. Approx. measurement 4.7"x3.2"x1.3". Set of 2.
Works Great! Gave my Desk lots of space so theres not to many plugs all over.
Just take out of the box and plug into the wall and that's all.
This product is fabulous and solved some problems for us. It's difficult when outlets are located behind furniture. The plugs  cords stick out from the outlet and make furniture placement difficult. With this product we can have multi-plug outlets and still place furniture close to the walls. We bought 4 to begin with but plan to buy several more.


(April 11, 2019) Taking a step back from the exotic, let's put a spotlight on Pioneer's newly announced HTP-076 Home Theater Package. Priced at $499 MSRP, the HTP-076 gives the budget conscious enthusiast access to an immersive five-channel system that's simple to deploy.
As Don Milks (Director of Marketing and Product Localization, Pioneer) points out: "Setting up a home theater can be a confusing and intimidating process with many consumers not knowing where to start." And, as we all know, the complexities involved with pulling together a system are anchored by costs, some of which can reach into the thousands. That's where an all-in-one "home theater in a box" system – like the HTP-076 – enters the picture. It simplifies the home theater experience from purchase to install, while keeping costs well within reason.
The heart of the HTP-076 is Pioneer's healthy VSX-326 five-channel AV Receiver (80W/ch, 8 ohms, 0.08% THD, 2ch driven), which features a digital quad-core 32-bit DSP and several interesting advanced features. Among those features is full Dolby Atmos and DTS:X support for 3.1.2 immersive sound performance and an automated speaker setup that applies Pioneer's Reflex Optimizer with Phase Control technology for a cohesive sounding Atmos experience. Owners also have access to dialog enhancement technology that can independently adjust mid-range sound for easier to hear dialog – this function is controlled via remote control.
In addition to Atmos and DTS:X, the VSX-326 also offers owners access to upmixing solutions for an immersive feel added to legacy content. Owners also are given access to various surround listening modes (think "Unplugged," or "Classical") and 384 kHz/32-bit digital audio conversion.
Video-wise, the system is fully compliant with modern 4K HDR requirements, including compliance with HDCP 2.2 copy protection and compatibility with Dolby Vision, HDR10, HLG, and BT. 2020 wide color.
And on the convenience front, owners can stream music using easy-access Bluetooth technology.
The included speaker system might not be sized to knock your socks off with tremendous power, but it is designed to fit discretely in a media center or small-room space. That kind of convenience, paired with an appealing price, make the HTP-076, a great starter system. Look for Pioneer's all-new home theater solution to begin shipping soon.


Frisian Flag is a multi national exercise where fighter pilots are trained in offensive and defensive flying missions. Focus during the two-week training is cooperation between the participating countries. The 2013 version of the exercise was held from 15 – 26 April 2013 at Leeuwarden Air Base, The Netherlands. Over 55 aircraft joined in to make the training as realistic as possible.
Missions during conflicts in Afghanistan and Libya show the importance of international cooperation. During Frisian Flag large and complex scenarios are trained with a high level of threads from both air and ground. In this way fighter pilots get highly prepared for the real thing. But also the men and women on the ground, like air traffic controllers, fighter controllers and forward air controllers, get the necessary experience for a real wartime situation.
Flying participants were F-16's from the Belgian, Dutch and Polish Air Forces, German Eurofighters, Swedish Gripens and Mirage 2000C's and Mirage F1CR's from France. A Dutch KDC-10 provided air refueling and a NATO E-3A was responsible for airborne early warning.


Mike Riley, the Oregon State football coach, was asked on Tuesday's Pac-12 teleconference call whether he'd have interest in the USC job.
Riley was spoken to by USC athletic director Mike Garrett when he was in the NFL back when Garrett eventually hired Pete Carroll.
My take? I believe Riley, who turned 60 last summer. I also think USC will probably be in the market for somebody younger, but I think Riley has come to peace with where he is, and he's in Corvallis for good. And good for him.


Toyota Motor Sales, Chrysler Group and the Volkswagen brand led the U.S. industry with subdued sales increases for October as automakers showed the effect of Hurricane Sandy's pounding of the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic.
Chrysler's 10 percent gain was its smallest since May 2011, while Toyota's 16 percent advance followed increases that had averaged 52 percent over the previous five months.
A 22 percent rise by the VW brand was its smallest in 14 months. The German automaker said more than 25 percent of its U.S. dealerships were affected by the mammoth storm that hit the Eastern seaboard on Oct. 29.
Ford Motor Co. said the storm will trim October's seasonally adjusted annual sales rate by 300,000 units. Before Sandy, analysts had predicted a SAAR in the 14.8 million to 14.9 million range. That would have approached September's 14.9 million figure as the highest since early 2008.
General Motors, among the first to release results, estimated October's SAAR would come in at 14.4 million as it posted a 5 percent sales increase.
"Unfortunately, October ended on a down note with Hurricane Sandy causing major disruption throughout the Northeast, which is our strongest performing region with more than 225 area dealers," said Al Castignetti, vice president of the Nissan Division.
Nissan North America's 3 percent decline for October marked its worst month since May of 2011, when vehicle supplies were crimped after an earthquake and tsunami in Japan.
Nissan and Infiniti will be offering employee discounts and employee financing to eligible residents in FEMA disaster areas.
Sandy, which churned through an area that generates about 25 percent of U.S. auto sales, disrupted dealers at the month's end, when car buying tends to accelerate. The Northeast and mid-Atlantic regions are major markets for Jeep, Volkswagen, and many import brands.
GM officials said today half of the company's dealerships in New Jersey, where damage is extensive, are still without electricity.
Chrysler attributed a 5 percent drop in Jeep sales last month in part on the hurricane. It was the first decline in volume at the SUV brand since January 2010, partly on the hurricane. Its Fiat brand rose 89 percent.
GM's gain was led by a 15 percent increase at both Buick and Cadillac. Sales at Chevrolet, GM's biggest division, rose 4 percent while GMC deliveries advanced 6 percent.
Sales of GM passenger cars, aided by new models, advanced 15 percent in October compared with a year ago. Sales of GM's crossovers were up 3 percent and demand for full-sized pickup trucks rose 8 percent.
GM sales to retail customers were up 7 percent while fleet deliveries dropped 2 percent.
Ford said its sales were mostly flat for the second month in a row, with the Ford division up 1 percent but Lincoln deliveries down 15 percent in October. Ford said its retail sales rose 2 percent compared with last year.
Chrysler said today it had a few dozen dealers in the region that were forced to close for a day or more because of a loss of power or clean up efforts.
"Obviously, sales are postponed and these sales come back relatively quick after housing stabilizes," said Ken Czubay, Ford's head of U.S. marketing, sales and service.
Czubay said there are a significant number of vehicles partially or completely damaged by water, and that Ford expects consumers to use insurance proceeds to buy new vehicles.
Many dealerships in New Jersey and New York remain without power and are closed, the National Automobile Dealers Association said Wednesday.
Other automakers are scheduled to report October U.S. sales results later today.
Demand for small, fuel-efficient cars and crossovers is driving the industry's sales gains, analysts say.
Ford's small car sales total 25,493 vehicles last month — its strongest October small car sales in 11 years — and an increase of 54 percent over last year.
GM said today it was increasing its year-end inventory target from about 650,000 units, to 660,000 to 670,000 units. The change reflects higher planned stockpiles of new passenger cars, the company said, while GM's truck inventory target will remain the same.
Easing credit terms, low interest rates, pent-up demand and new or redesigned models are also enticing American consumers to purchase new cars and light trucks despite sluggish economic growth and high gasoline prices.
TrueCar estimates October incentives averaged $2,353 per model across the industry, down 2.9 percent from September and a drop of 5.6 percent from October 2011.
Fleet and retail deliveries are expected to decline from September levels because of lower incentives and the end of many model-year clearance sales, Kelley Blue Book said.

Architecture of Dublin City
1891 – Fr. Theobald Mathew Statue, O'Connell Street, Dublin
1787c – Unbuilt West Elevation of Houses of Parliament, Dublin
Sculptor: Mary Redmond
Fr Theobald Mathew (1790-1856) was a Cork-born Capuchin Friar who led a great temperance movement from 1839-1856. His anti-drink campaign is considered to have been a great social revolution that saw the establishment of Temperance Societies in every parish in the country. At its peak between 1838-1845, it was estimated that there were 3-4 million abstaining from drink in Ireland. This high number was aided by the fact that Fr Mathew appealed to every class and rank in society. In 1843, Fr Mathew went to England and Scotland where he had further success, and later spent over two years in the US where he gave the pledge in over 300 towns.
The Irish Builder reported in February 1890 on the competition to select a sculptor – "The committee now decided that Miss Redmond's design and tender would be the most suitable for adoption. It is only right to add that the great merit of the design submitted by Mr. Herbert Barnes was acknowledged by every member of the committee; but whilst Miss Mary Redmond's design is no less meritorious, her tender for the completion of the work was eonsiderably less than that of Mr. Herbert Barnes."

Galaxy S8 may have 4K display
Deidre Richardson September 23, 2016
The Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge have only been on the market for 7 months, but the rumor mill is continuing its churn as we get closer to February and the Mobile World Congress tech conference for 2017 (to take place in about 5-6 months). This means that, at this point, Samsung already has the Galaxy S8 in development and is moving everything in place for the big announcement.
We've been told that the Galaxy S8 will have a dual camera setup like what we've seen on the Huawei P9, LG G5, and now, the iPhone 7 Plus, as well as the dual-edge display we've seen on the Galaxy S6 edge, Galaxy S7 edge, and now, the Galaxy Note 7. We wouldn't be surprised to see Samsung employ only the dual-edge display next year for the Galaxy S line, considering the success the Korean giant has had with the curved display this year (2016) and the desire to unify its product lineup and stop dividing customers along flat panel/curved panel lines.
Now, though, a reliable source says that Samsung is looking to employ a 4K display on the Galaxy S8 with the addition of the ARM Mali G71 GPU that would bring 4K graphics to the smartphone and VR experience. The source, SamMobile, also says that the Mali G71 GPU is 1.8 times faster than the Mali-T880 MP12 used to make the Galaxy S7 — meaning that graphics and gameplay will literally fly in the 2017 "Galaxy." Samsung will implement its Exynos 8895 SoC (up from the 8890 in this year's Galaxy S7, S7 edge, and Note 7) for the effort as well.
The Galaxy S7 and S7 edge released on March 11th of this year have a Quad HD (2,560 x 1,440p) resolution, so what is being suggested here is that the resolution will turn to 4K (3840 x 2,160p), though the true, authentic 4K resolution is really 4,096 x 2,160p. Pixels will become more and more dense, leading to more detail within photos, videos, and games. 4K graphics won't just help VR lovers, but the average consumer as well because improved graphics and rich detail will keep consumers staring at their screens longer. We know that a 4K-graphics-intensive experience will mandate a higher-performing graphics processor unit (or GPU) than the current one, since graphics are only designed to support 1080p in most cases nowadays (even on high-end flagships).
Now, we know that the Galaxy S8 will have features that have been borrowed from the Galaxy Note 7 (such as the new iris scanner and iris unlock integration in Samsung Pay via the most recent update), Corning's new Gorilla Glass 5 panel, and the Galaxy Note 7's Medium and Maximum Power Saving modes that will give you as much battery life as you can hold. Moreover, the Galaxy S8 will be the first to have the new Exynos 8895 SoC and come with Android Nougat pre-loaded out of the box. The Galaxy S8 will likely sport a better camera aperture than the f/1.7 of this year's Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge, so it'll be a beast for sure designed to live up to customer expectations.

Q: Call a method that returns a value from an NSString? I have a class method (+) that takes an argument of type NSString. What I want to do with that class method is to return information from another class method, there are many different class methods that return different things, I don't want to use a switch or if-statement but something like this:
return [self "ClassMethodName"];

I know how to do it with a @selector() but it seems like I cant use it in a class method. Is there another way to do what I want?

A: If you're doing it from a class method, self is the class object so you can do this:
+ (id)myClassMethod {
    return [self performSelector:NSSelectorFromString(@"ClassMethodName")];
}

If you're doing it from an instance method, you have to ask yourself for your class:
- (id)myInstanceMethod {
    return [self.class performSelector:NSSelectorFromString(@"ClassMethodName")];
}

Of course you can use @selector(ClassMethodName) if ClassMethodName is known at compile time, but I assume you don't actually know the selector name until runtime.
Note that Xcode doesn't know that Class objects are instances of NSObject, so it won't autocomplete performSelector: for you in these cases.

A: You can actually, since classes are objects themselves.
SEL selector = NSSelectorFromString(@"ClassMethodName");

#pragma clang diagnostic push
#pragma clang diagnostic ignored "-Warc-performSelector-leaks"
[self performSelector:selector];
#pragma clang diagnostic pop

The pragma lines are needed to silence the compiler warning "PerformSelector may cause a leak because its selector is unknown" (see this question for details).

Ready Player One SXSW Reactions Giving Me Flashbacks
The screening of Ready Player One at SXSW couldn't have come at a better time. There was a growing backlash to the movie, with many people judging it for shamelessly exploiting 1980s nostalgia solely to win brownie points with Gen X movie critics. It was cheap and derivative, people were declaring without having seen the movie at all, and should be dismissed out of hand.
Those attitudes seem to have been quashed to a great extent by how positive the SXSW reception was. While actual reviews seem to still be embargoed, the Twitter updates have largely called it fun and well-made while admittedly leaning on nostalgia pretty heavily. That it comes from director Steven Spielberg, who doesn't exactly have to work hard to prove his pop culture bonafides, helps. A good number of critics are now predicting the movie will be a big hit, a reversal of the "this is going to flop hard" attitude of just a couple weeks ago.
All that can't help but remind me of another movie that was roundly – almost universally – praised at SXSW and hailed for how it embraced and celebrated pop culture only to go on to land at the box office with a thud akin to a vintage video game arcade machine being tipped over.
I'm speaking of course of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World.
When that movie screened at SXSW in 2010 everyone loved it. And why not? It was loose and fun and contained lots of gags that resonated with a generation that grew up knowing the Contra Code like it was their home phone number. Michael Cera was great, as was Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Anna Kendrick and the rest of the hip, young cast. It was a movie about video games that felt like a video game! That it came from director Edgar Wright, who didn't exactly have to work hard to prove his pop culture bonafides, helped.
Maybe it's that the last eight years have seen at least one generation of turnover in the writers and others who are now covering movies for the sites and blogs that are part of the entertainment press, but I'm seeing precious little awareness of how we've been down this road before.
Just because a movie plays like gangbusters in Austin when it's specifically designed to appeal to the kinds of critics who are going to be in Austin, doesn't mean it's going to work for the mass audience. All the praise for the movie may be true – it may be a lot of fun that's also well made and feature characters that are more three-dimensional than the trailers have presented them – but that doesn't mean suburban moviegoers are going to choose it.
In fact, as good as the movie might be, I'm surprised more of the immediate feedback hasn't pointed out at least two of the headwinds the movie faces when it arrives in a couple weeks:
Spielberg looks surprisingly vulnerable right now. The Post did not do as well as it should have given its pedigree and subject matter. I'm not saying he's lost his touch, but it's certainly not a given that his name is enough to open a movie, at least not anymore.
The movie is about white male culture. It's not that white men need to shut up and disappear entirely because of the centuries of oppression they've visited upon literally everyone else. I *am* one, so I'd very much like to still be able to express myself. It's just that right now we're celebrating a box-office weekend where the #1 and #2 films – Black Panther and A Wrinkle In Time – are much more representative of under-served and under-appreciated voices and groups. And we're realizing that white men have dominated culture to date, including appropriating elements of other groups while discounting more authentic and original representations of that culture.
Both of those could impact how a movie about a white kid steeped in nostalgia for a uniquely white, male culture is received. That may be true to the source material, but that's not going to help anyone's argument.
It will be interesting to see what the full reviews for Ready Player One look like when they start to come in. Maybe some will acknowledge the issues it faces. But right now I'm flashing back to 2010, when everyone was *sure* that Scott Pilgrim was going to be a massive hit because everyone at SXSW loved it. As we found out then, and may find out again now, that's not always a guarantee of mainstream success. In fact, it could be a clear sign it *won't* work.
Signaling that would require a level of institutional memory and historical context that's sadly lacking here.
