Vale Dr James Scambary
by Gordon Peake
James Scambary (Rinha Leite)
Written by	Gordon Peake
Every few days, as part of a WhatsApp group of friends I would receive a message like this from James Scambary:
I love this sentence from the latest early warning report: "PNTL (East Timorese police) arrived swiftly at the location, pursued the perpetrators, tried unsuccessfully at shooting them." All those police reform programs are really working!
Our back and forth would reflect shared affection for our once island home, an interest in the world in all its fullness, as well as drollery about the ironies and incongruities of parts of international development. The last conversation we shared revolved around an idea for a coffee table book about 101 great MoU signing ceremonies. We were fascinated by such jamborees, always curious about what happened after the ink dried and lunch catering was cleared away.
I'm not going to get more such messages. I'm never again going to get the two blue WhatsApp ticks to show he's read what we said or see on top of my phone screen that James is typing out a reply that would be wry, erudite, considered, sometimes provocative, pointing me to literature of which I wasn't aware, poets to read that would explain the human condition.
James passed away in Melbourne earlier this week after a short illness. He was 59 and, at time of his death, working as a lecturer at RMIT.
I will miss James terribly. From the outpouring of grief on social media and messaging platforms, it is clear many others will too. To borrow from something by WB Yeats, the world these days feels more full of weeping than I can understand.
James' early working life saw him earn a living as a first-class welder in oil refineries and other industrial projects, while pursuing justice through an active role in the Australian Metal Workers Union. This was not something that he left behind when he later pursued an academic and development practitioner path. Until very recently, when times were lean, James would 'go back on the tools'.
After completing two BAs majoring in anthropology, broadcast journalism, and political economy, and running a radio show in Melbourne on international politics, Africa and development, he came to Timor-Leste in 2003 as a volunteer helping set up a network of community radio stations.
Typical of James, he started on the margins. His first job was as trainer for Radio Communidade Lospalos, in the far east of country. He then moved into various roles, working as a researcher for a range of organisations including Catholic Relief Services and the Social Science Research Council in New York. In all his assignments, he brought his unique bottom-up view of Timor-Leste to many around the world stuck in their cubicles. We'd work together on a number of the projects over the years for The Asia Foundation and the World Bank. I was privileged to help supervise his doctoral research that emerged in part from these consultancies.
James will be best remembered for his extensive body of top-notch scholarship that excavated the micro-dynamics of conflict, order and state formation in Timor-Leste.
His research emerged from early immersion within the lived realities of the country. In those early days, he was a penurious volunteer, unable to afford the highlife in expatriate housing, and for a couple of years he resided in one of the squatter communities that make up the mosaic of the city of Dili. Communicating primarily in Tetun, he would spend days and nights drinking strong coffee and lukewarm beer, quietly conversing and listening. His proficiency as a soccer player was an undoubted plus in this soccer-mad country. He respected the faith placed in him, and his preferred method of inquiry was to gather up the stories that illustrated the highly localised cultural, historical, social and political factors that generated flare-ups of conflict. In these narratives, the anthropologist in him would find patterns and understandings that eluded most malae (foreigners). His ground-level vantage meant he was one of the few outsiders to predict the social-political crisis that engulfed the capital in 2006, when the dominant talking point was that of a state-building project successfully completed.
His work was critical in a number of senses. He did not stint in laying out how fly-in fly-out academics and consultants focused too much on meniscus issues like UN-led statebuilding and too little on what sat underneath. He faulted academic writing for building up a version of reality that made it appear Timor-Leste's challenges were receptive to technical solutions. He despaired at the hubris and naiveté of the "let's sign an MoU/launch a survey/carry out a GESI training and tweet about it" school of aid. This was not cynicism. It was passion and principle that development be done smart and benefit the people to whom all this activity was ostensibly for.
His work was also critical in the much more important sense that it involved the objective analysis and evaluation of issues in order to form nuanced and informed judgement. His research eschews simple explanations. It describes clearly the complex of social obligations and the relational and patronage networks that drive politics in the country. His analysis sometimes brought him castigation on social media but that bothered him less than it would me. He told me on one of the last times we spoke about how proud he was to have the Dili launch of his book Conflict, Identity and State Formation in East Timor 2000-2017 not in a hotel but a neighbourhood backyard. His Timorese friends presented him with a beautiful 'lancamento livru' (book launch) cake to mark the occasion. As his friend and fellow scholar Sara Niner has written, he supported many East Timorese students in quiet ways.
James Scambary cutting the 'lancamento livru' cake
The last time I saw James in person was a sunny afternoon in Canberra last November. It was a day to cherish. We were launching this wonderful book of his, which emerged from his doctoral research.
My two boys joined me at the event, one wearing a T-shirt in the colours of East Timorese flag: red, yellow, black with a white star, symbolising the obscurantism that the country's first leaders aspired that their new State would overcome. The other was in a rugby league shirt from Papua New Guinea, another place James knew well. As James was answering a question from the audience, I looked at them and a memory was triggered. It was something that my father said to all his children when we were young: "I don't necessarily like you kids every minute of the day but know that I love you always." It summed up perfectly the attitude James had towards Timor-Leste as well as his tireless efforts against obscurantist thinking wherever found.

James's intellectual horizons were broad. Recently, his gaze was turning elsewhere, not only thinking about Timor-Leste and the Pacific but interested in extending his scholarship to Myanmar and the Chittagong Hill Tracts.
The best way we can honour James is to continue with the inquisitive thinking and fearless-hearted scholarship that he so embodied.

Danny Cusack says:
Clearly an inspirational individual.
Thanks for a beautiful tribute Gordon, it captures well the James I knew. I worked at the Australian Embassy in Timor-Leste from 2015-18 and always looked forward to my chats with James. He was humble, interested, passionate, and knew the country and it's people better than most other Malae I met. I'm sad to hear today of his passing.
Tom Shannon says:
A lovely tribute, I only met James once but cited his work often. He was one of those persons that many of us aspired to emulate. Rest In Peace.
Julian Waters-Lynch says:
What a lovely and beautifully written tribute.
Tim George says:
Thank you Gordon for that very eloquent and moving tribute.
I got to know James well while working with him on a project in Samoa two years ago, assisting the Government in the development of its first national security policy. I will miss greatly James' humanity, breath of intellectual interests and insights, and his sense of humour.
The leader of the project team in Samoa, the Chief Executive Officer of the Ministry of Prime Minister and Cabinet, Agafili Shem Leo, says James will always be remembered in Samoa for his work on the national security policy, and has asked that his deepest condolences and those of the team be conveyed to James' family.
We were all very saddened by James' passing. May he rest in peace .

Karen Mcknight says:
This is a beautiful piece Gordon Peake, that really captures the James I knew… though it was James 'the writer' who was my friend. Spent many a night at the Dogs Bar passionately exchanging ideas on books and writing. He was yet to convert me to W.G. Sebald ! He loved cooking for people and we once ate a curry he'd mistakenly made out of roo meat he'd bought for the cat. It was delicious. I will miss his passion for opera, his desire to make right (or at least expose) what is wrong in this world, and his enduring friendship. My thoughts go out to his family. RIP lovely man 🌸
Andrew Patching says:
James was an outstanding colleague. His wry dissection of the vagaries of the Ministry of Finance FreeBalance system was a triumph of forensic scholarship. He had a neat way of enticing you into delving into an issue and an arcane knowledge and appreciation of Indonesian and Timorese political connections and the realities of Timorese political economy. He was always up for an adventure into some area one that was problematic and in charming his way through challenging moments. In addition his appreciation of Constructivist art was unsurpassed. I still recall his 'rocket chair' he built while living in Bario Pite, sliding with precision in the faulty generator lit evening.
Laurenco says:
For me, he is a very kind person. It was a very interesting job with him when he was doing a gang survey in Dili in 2006, at that time I was also working for a gang group in Dili for the Justice and Peace Commission, Diocese of Dili. Last time we did a great survey on the national election in Timor Leste in April 2017 and we found many interesting findings. He has high journalism instincts, he made topics interesting and in-depth analysis. Adeus comphaneiro, GBU.
Ramon Lobato says:
Thank you for this touching tribute to James, a dear friend and colleague. I first met James 10 years ago when we worked at Swinburne together, and learned so much from him over the years. His kindness, wry humour, and unwavering sense of justice will stay with me always. As well as being a talented anthropologist of Timor and the Pacific, James also had many other passions including cinema, experimental music, welding, and — of course — soccer. His interests and experiences were enormously varied. I really admired how James could engage with people from all walks of life, and treated everyone with kindness and respect. My shelves are full of DVDs that he lent me over the years, and which I'll treasure now. He was an incredibly funny and interesting person who touched many lives. We'll miss him greatly.
Anne Scambary says:
Dear Gordon,
Thankyou for such a lovely, generous tribute to James. I'm his older sister Anne, it means a great deal to our family that he was respected and appreciated by his colleagues. We mostly knew the family James, but were very proud of his achievements and the things he was trying to do.
We will miss his humour, generosity, kindness and great capacity to encourage. We will miss his presence in our lives always.
Anne Scambary
I didn't know James well, but my office was two doors down from his at Deakin Waurn Ponds, and we had chats in the kitchen. He was a kind and friendly man. I'm shocked and saddened that this lovely man is gone. My condolences to his loved ones.
Denise Meredyth says:
I had the privilege of working with James at Swinburne, on a project on policing and the Vietnamese community. He was so thoughtful and funny: slow to judgement and quick in analysis. A gentle, strong man with such integrity. My deep sympathy to his family, friends and colleagues.
Matthew Jones says:
He was always willing to share knowledge and advice and had a great dry sense of humour. A big inspiration during my time in Timor-Leste.
A very beautifully written piece Gordon! I've never met James though I've heard of his name around town. From reading this and his views on development and state-building practices in TL (of which I often wonder how much has improved today), I am certain that I would have greatly enjoyed knowing James and learn from his wealth of knowledge. May he rest in peace.
I played ⚽ With James for many years at Caulfield Park. I'm Very sad to hear that he recently feel ill and passed away. He was a lovely interesting person who l would enjoy talking to about any subject from Liverpool FC to workers rights to world politics.
Condolences to all his family and friends.
Kenan A says:
My favourite teacher i had the honour to be taught & guided by. Such a humble & decorated man, always looking out for us students. He would always go above & beyond. The passion that came along with his work was just inspiring, what an experience it was to learn many lessons & skills from James. This was a great read, definitely correct in saying the best way to honour him is to continue thinking like him, to continue his teachings. He was so very calm also, it was honestly inspiring. He gave actually gave a lot of over-time & effort to invest in us students, really loved going to his class every single time. So sad to hear this.
Deeply saddened by the shocking & sudden news. I wish his family all the best during this hard time. Respect.
jnanashree chakma says:
It is nice to know that James never forgot the Jumma People of Chittagong Hill Tracts. His humanity, courage, passion and tireless work helped Timor-Leste a lot. I hope one day his scholarship will be extended to CHT and political support will bring freedom for Jumma People.
Jan Larsen says:
So interesting to read as an older relative by marriage to his brother. I always enjoyed the moments we shared especially his quirky sense of humour. I am so sad for his close colleagues and of course his family.
michael Doogan says:
I'm greatly saddened to hear about James. I knew him since we both worked together at GMH in 1981…and only a few weeks ago he rang me to say how he was looking forward to Leeds United being back in the Premier League after a 16 year absence. I am the Leeds supporter and James was for Liverpool. When Liverpool beat Leeds 4-3 at the weekend I thought of James and wanted to ring him to moan about a dodgy penalty. I wish I had.
Soon after we met I pushed James toward doing an apprenticeship; I told him he would then be a part of the 'aristocracy of Labour' (Marx, I believe), otherwise he should get back to university because he had been given a chance to get well educated and he shouldn't abuse that privilege by being on the production line at Holden. Eventually he did both.
I miss him so much.
Maree Pardy says:
I've thought about you this week too. Such sadness. x
Carys Chan says:
This was a lovely tribute to James, thank you Gordon. James only joined RMIT less than 2 years ago, and that's when I got to know him as a fellow lecturer in the School of Management. Even in this short span of time, I've known him to be an erudite and passionate scholar, and always so well-spoken and kind. There is so much that I have yet to learn from and about him, and your post has let me learn a little bit more about James. Thank you.
Edward Rees says:
Vale James Scambary.
A friend that I did not know half as well as I would have liked.
And did not share with him half of the friendship as I should have.
Arguably the best mind on community conflict dynamics in post independence Timor.
A real gentlemen. He passed away two days ago in Melbourne.
His writings: https://scholar.google.com.au/citations?user=q9TttCUAAAAJ&hl=en
Thank you to Gordon for the wonderful write up on James and much of his contribution to all of our lives.
Richard Curtain says:
Gordon many thanks – A great tribute to a most impressive scholar and highly approachable person. I first became aware of James' forensic and analytical skills when I read his analysis of the role of gangs in the 2006 conflict, which stood apart for its depth and understanding of the issues. In late 2017, his paper 'The road to nowhere: the rise of a neo-patrimonialist state in East Timor', which he gave me as a gallery proof, was a great help to me in trying to understand why a multi-faceted aid program I was reviewing was having limited impact, despite elements operating for many years.
I hope we can organise a free online version of his recent political economy publications through ANU Press as a tribute and to give his work wider circulation in Timor-Leste and elsewhere.
Sarah Niner says:
That was lovely Gordon. Another thing I remember him saying was about International NGO Reports about Timor and being able to smell the air-conditioning coming off the pages because they were all written in offices and cafes in Dili rather than from visiting the districts.
James had his pulse on East – West sucos, asking probing questions about 1989-1994 underground resistance in Ambeno- Oekussi in between late night/ early morning euro 2004 matches. We shared a disappointment with actions, a slow motion car wreck, that Xanana and other parties took in their dealings with the (unfair) dismissal of disgruntled members of the army, Eastern – western resentments boosted by many sides of local politicos and subsequent political rivalry that arose between police units. Most of air con, cafe espresso, big $$$ consultants could only see the aftermath from their pampered perches in Dili, if they hadn't just fled Timor. RIP
Ingvar Anda says:
Nice piece Gordon. James was the only person I knew that could discuss the political economy of Timor-Leste as well as the technical intricacies of welding a 45′ 10″ pipe join in an oil refinery. I will miss him dearly.
Marie Quinn says:
Erudite as always, Gordon, you matched him parry for parry. Thanks for reminding us of James' humanity in action. Shocked and unbelievably sad this week.

Is the Options Market Predicting a Spike in Kellogg (K) Stock?
1 December 2022, 8:46 am ·2-min read
Investors in Kellogg Company K need to pay close attention to the stock based on moves in the options market lately. That is because the Jan 20, 2023 $30.00 Call had some of the highest implied volatility of all equity options today.
What is Implied Volatility?
Implied volatility shows how much movement the market is expecting in the future. Options with high levels of implied volatility suggest that investors in the underlying stocks are expecting a big move in one direction or the other. It could also mean there is an event coming up soon that may cause a big rally or a huge sell-off. However, implied volatility is only one piece of the puzzle when putting together an options trading strategy.
What do the Analysts Think?
Clearly, options traders are pricing in a big move for Kellogg shares, but what is the fundamental picture for the company? Currently, Kellogg is a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) in the Food – Miscellaneous industry that ranks in the Top 26% of our Zacks Industry Rank. Over the last 60 days, one analyst has increased the earnings estimates for the current quarter, while seven have dropped their estimates. The net effect has taken our Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current quarter from 88 cents per share to 83 cents in that period.
Given the way analysts feel about Kellogg right now, this huge implied volatility could mean there's a trade developing. Oftentimes, options traders look for options with high levels of implied volatility to sell premium. This is a strategy many seasoned traders use because it captures decay. At expiration, the hope for these traders is that the underlying stock does not move as much as originally expected.
Looking to Trade Options?
Check out the simple yet high-powered approach that Zacks Executive VP Kevin Matras has used to close recent double and triple-digit winners. In addition to impressive profit potential, these trades can actually reduce your risk.

A whale that washed ashore in Hawaii over the weekend likely died in part because it ate large volumes of fishing traps, fishing nets, plastic bags and other marine debris, scientists said Thursday, highlighting the threat to wildlife from the millions of tons of plastic that ends up in oceans every year. Kristi West, the director of the University of Hawaii's Health and Stranding Lab, said there were enough foreign objects in the opening of the whale's intestinal tract to block food. "The presence of undigested fish and squid lends further evidence of a blockage," she said in a news release from the Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources.

Each week I read the "Things to do this week column." I see numerous activities (classes) going on at the libraries on the Coast from Moss Point to Bay St. Louis for adults. Never do I see anything happening at the Biloxi Libraries. Biloxi has three very nice libraries (cannot count the little trailer in the Woolmarket area). Why are the Biloxi libraries underutilized?
Saw a Sound Off that pretty much repeats what I have experienced for years. If you are doing the speed limit, you will be passed by most and tailgated by the rest — regardless of what lane you are in. Police presence between DeBuys Road and the Bay St. Louis bridge is minimal at best. There seems to be an occasional Long Beach Police vehicle parked off of U.S. 90 on Sundays, when nobody is really in a hurry. I would say that 6 to 9 a.m. eastbound, and 3 to 6 p.m westbound would be the best time to catch the speeders. This obviously is not anyone's intent.
We currently call people who throw trash on our neighborhoods ... litterbugs. Instead, let's call them what they really are: litterPIGs!
Oh no, Sen. Wicker. You are getting off to a very bad start. I cannot believe you are airing that commercial about McDaniel. I want to know why we should vote for you — not why we should not vote for McDaniel. This is going to hurt you big time. Think positive.
I want to thank the Republicans in Congress for the tax break. Now I have more money to contribute to Democratic candidates.
Speaker Gunn is correct, Mississippi's education system does not have a reliable funding source, and that especially includes the Mississippi Legislature. A lottery would be more reliable.
It's our highway, not your driveway!
Dear citizens of Ocean Springs who use U.S. 90: Please don't slam your breaks when you need to make a turn on the highway. Ease off the gas, use those blinkers for once, and get on the shoulder. Also, no more tailgating! It's not gonna get you anywhere faster.


When people ask me why I didn't move to Los Angeles, the answer is simple… earthquakes.
And while I'm still technically perched on the ring of fire, it's just something about LA – the city seems more overdue for a quake and more vulnerable than other parts of the West Coast… even if it's technically not.
I remember the first time I was in an earthquake.
The bed began to sway during the middle of REM, and I incorporated the movement into my dreams. I woke just enough to wonder who was shaking the bed, but I was too sleepy to assume that it was anything other than my husband. When I awoke the next morning, I learned that there was a mild earthquake during the night.
The problem with living in an earthquake zone is that there is no sure foundation. Nothing is anchored because everything reacts to plate tectonics. It is the uncertainty of knowing when a quake will happen coupled with the certainty of knowing that it will eventually happen that makes me feel a little helpless.
Do we not live in a society where many Christians feel helpless? A society where the culture is shaken by lust, greed, and hatred – the moral foundations are crumbling beneath us. What can the righteous do if the foundations are destroyed?
There is only one thing to do… pray.
Pray that God will repair the breach and build up the church. Pray that God continues to be your Rock so that even in the midst of a crumbling world, you can stand firm, knowing that you haven't built your spiritual life on sand.
In Genesis 17, before God tells Abraham that He will make a covenant with him and multiply him, He gives him a command. A simple, complex, loving command.
The King James Version words the command this way: Walk before me, and be thou perfect. The New Living translation puts it this way: Serve me faithfully and live a blameless life. But I love the God's Word Translation – it says – Live in my presence with integrity.
The translations reiterate the same command. God is asking Abraham to live a life of righteousness. He is asking him to forsake everything that would taint his body, spirit and soul.
Which leads to a difficult question: Is it possible to live a blameless life?
The immediate answer must be yes… If it were not possible, God would not have asked this of Abraham. It's heretical when grace is manipulated to meet the spiritual standards of those who think that blameless living is faulty theology and impossible.
Keep in mind that when God told Abraham to live in His presence, to be perfect, and to walk before Him, the Holy Spirit was 'on' God's children – but not 'inside' God's children. Logic would have one to believe that blameless living wasn't as easy then as it is now because the Comforter hadn't come.
He revealed who He was to Abraham. God Almighty, El Shaddai!
Holiness can't become part of a person's identity until they acknowledge God as Almighty. When you acknowledge God as almighty your are saying in essence: "You are sovereign." An acknowledgement of God as sovereign (in the heart and mind) strikes fear, reverence and awe of Him.
And it is the fear of God that begets holiness.
When Abraham left his home to follow God, he did something interesting along the way. The Bible says that he invoked the Name of the Lord. The first time I saw this, I contemplated its meaning.
The consensus among commentators is that Abraham was holding an open church service – sharing God with others and teaching about the one true God in cultures and places where there were a myriad of false gods. In other words, he was teaching theology to the masses.
To put it simplistically, Abraham was bringing light and being light wherever he went.
When God told Abraham to go to a foreign country, He knew what Abraham would do along the way. He knew when Abraham would sleep, eat, rest, laugh – and He even knew when Abraham would call on Him. And I can assure you that anytime Abraham called on God – God was there.
Abraham's peregrination wasn't just a physical possession of the land God was going to show him – his journey was also about bringing a bit of heaven on earth in different places along the way. And isn't this every Christian's ultimate service? To call on God and share our faith wherever we are – to bring change to the atmosphere, home, city, state or country where we reside?
I've moved around quite a bit over the last several years, and it's comforting to see the example of Abraham and know that a move to a new place is never in vain. Especially If I behave like the patriarch Abraham did and invoke the name of the Lord wherever I go – bringing a bit of heaven on earth.

Rasheedah Phillips
Rasheedah Phillips, Esq. will open this year's DLF Forum with an exciting keynote talk entitled "Creating Communal Space-Times, Activating Quantum Time Capsules." Phillips will discuss community-driven documentation, cultural memory and conceptions of time, and the potential of digital libraries to support and be shaped by marginalized people's work to imagine alternate futures. She'll draw on her practical perspectives and experiences as a public interest attorney and activist, working against forces of gentrification and eminent domain in North Philadelphia — and on her conceptual ones, as an artist, science fiction writer, and co-founder of a community center designed around principles of Afrofuturism and Black Quantum Futurism.
Phillips is a 2008 graduate of Temple University's Beasley School of Law. She serves as managing attorney for the housing unit at Community Legal Services of Philadelphia and Creative Director of an arts-based grassroots organization called The Afrofuturist Affair, which she founded in 2011. As part of the Black Quantum Futurism collective, she collaborated with Camae Ayewa (who tours and performs as Moor Mother) to found and direct the Community Futures Lab. That work, originally supported by a Blade of Grass fellowship for a community archives project on "Time & Memory in North Philly," is outlined here:

22 Sep Abstract The Project 'Automatic Room Light Controller Using microcontroller ATMEGA16A and bidirectional visitor counter' controls a room light. This Project "Automatic Room Light Controller with Visitor Counter using Microcontroller" is a reliable circuit that takes over the task of controlling the room lights. 13 Oct Today we are here with automatic room light controller project with bidirectional visitor counter of some components such as sensors, motors etc. with arduino microcontroller. Visitor Counter Circuit Diagram using Arduino.
Do not keep any unnecessary moving aautomatic in front of IR sensors. Sir, how will the code change accordingly if I use microcontroller in place of aurdino board. More information about text formats. Also read all the above comments, solution has already been suggested. Now will try optimize and add further components.
So in a real case scenario, if someone stays infront of the door aktomatic sometime, either the count will go continuously up or down.
These are the three major project ideas implemented to conyroller automatic room light controller based on IR and Zigbee-based technologies. Resistor values are clearly mentioned in the Circuit Diagram. Comments this project is good helps to my project. In addition to the lights, fan loads can also be controlled in this project based on the temperature inside the room. Leave this automatic room light controller with visitor counter using microcontroller blank.
This frequency is detected by the IR micfocontroller that gives logical signals to the microcontroller. Would you automatic room light controller with visitor counter using microcontroller be able to send your altered code? Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment. Try around some codes and share with us. These two types of detections direct the microcontroller to the confirmation that human beings are present in the room, and thus immediately alert the microcontroller.
Hi Roja, Thank you for your appreciation.
Please tell me how to burn display. Arduino read these signals and send commands to relay driver circuit to drive the relay for light bulb controlling. In such regard, you can leave your comments, doubts and suggestions in the comment section given below.
Hi Pranav Garg, Please follow the link: Check this for IR sensor building: Can you please send me the altered program which worked for you. LM is used as comparator.
This project is divided in four parts: It really helps us to work hard. The system also counts the number of persons entering and leaving the room and displays that information on LCD display. How can I use the counted value to be sent to the serial out pin that to be used by a computer?
In this particular system, the Lights will remain turned off during the day due to LDR, and also in the absence of any person in the room. The microcontroller is programmed in such a way that for every pulse that enters the IR sensor, it increments the counter, and for the exit sensor signal, it decrements the count. Learn the working of PIR here: Arduino UNO is used for controlling whole the process of this visitor counter project.
I have checked all the circuitry, its fine. Sir pls send code. This project is already counting automatic room light controller with visitor counter using microcontroller persons, please check the Video. Controllr also defined input output pin viitor sensors and ralay.
Here is two functions for enter and exit. Circuit Explanation There are some sections of whole microcohtroller counter circuit that are sensor section, control section, display section and driver section. I would be thankful if you could help.
The system depicted in the above figure comprises two pairs of IR transceivers: Get quote online easily: It can also be used at gates of parking areas and other public automafic.
Electricity has always remained a prime necessity of life as it is impossible to image our life without electricity. Further if you have any queries you can call on the toll free no. Is there anyway to prevent the counter from moving up or mictocontroller when i place my hand infront of 1 of the sensors constantly?
Often we see visitor counters at stadium, mall, offices, class rooms etc. Please help me sir. Hi Raghu, Please follow the link: Can you please get me the modified code for counting the total number of persons entered in the room for a particular period.? Otherwise check the circuit and code once again.

The man who might be king (well, deputy king)
Bryan Glick
Computer Weekly\'s editor gives a personal perspective on the biggest issues in technology and IT strategy.
Here we go again - strap yourself in for the next 10-year ride in digital government transformation
The Horizon scandal is over but the fight continues - an inquiry into the Post Office is essential
Liam Maxwell: The man who checks the homework – ComputerWeekly.com
Are government CIOs being pushed to the sidelines? – ComputerWeekly.com
What will Liam Maxwell's departure from government ... – ComputerWeekly.com
When Computer Weekly interviewed Cabinet Office permanent secretary Ian Watmore recently, he cited three names as the key people driving change in IT across the public sector.
Two were to be expected – digital director Mike Bracken, who is leading the move to "digital by default" public services; and open data czar Tim Kelsey, who is opening up government data and enabling the transparency agenda.
For some, the third name might be less well-known: Liam Maxwell, director of ICT futures at the Cabinet Office, most recently a local authority politician and head of IT at David Cameron's old school, Eton College, who is currently serving on a short-term advisory contract.
So, who is the person identified by the second most senior civil servant in Whitehall as the key to change in government IT?
Maxwell seems set to be the fulcrum of that process of change. Numerous well-placed Whitehall IT insiders have strongly implied to Computer Weekly that Maxwell is the clear favourite to be appointed as the new deputy government CIO.
With Andy Nelson taking over as government CIO while continuing in his day job as CIO at the Ministry of Justice, it's clear that the top role is primarily that of a figurehead and spiritual leader for government CIOs – in a similar manner to current incumbent Joe Harley, who combines the role with being CIO of the Department for Work And Pensions until he retires next month.
It's increasingly apparent that the deputy role is where the real day-to-day power will lie, responsible for the dirty work in forcing recalcitrant Whitehall IT departments to adopt the government IT strategy that encourages the use of cloud computing, open source, agile development, short-term contracts and SME suppliers – all areas that previous governments have tried to force onto the laggards in public sector IT only to be thwarted by inertia and by those who feel more comfortable with the expensive status quo.
Maxwell is already fulfilling much of that role – setting the standards and processes for IT procurement and projects to force through change – to the extent that some suppliers even identify him as a bottleneck in IT because he has so many projects to approve.
The new deputy CIO needs to be someone willing to bash heads together, and not take "no" for an answer. Is Maxwell that man?
He has been a central figure in Tory IT policy since before the General Election that brought the coalition to power. He helped draft the Conservative technology policy for Francis Maude – now his boss at the Cabinet Office. He was closely involved in a tech think-tank, the Network for the Post-Bureaucratic Age, which in September 2010 proposed dismantling the IT systems and business ecosystem established by Labour, with the promise of saving £8bn a year in IT costs.
The influence of the Network for the Post-Bureaucratic Age could be seen from the fact that David Cameron himself helped to launch it.
Before taking on his current 12-month contract at the Cabinet Office, Maxwell was a Tory councillor at the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead. His political connections were clearly a factor in his appointment to the Cabinet Office, but he is a long-term IT guy too. He was head of computing at Eton College for seven years; head of IT at Capita Resourcing for three years before that; and IT chief for a variety of recruitment firms further back.
Not insignificantly, he was also at Accenture for two years – the IT services firm that also once employed Ian Watmore and Andy Nelson.
Maxwell is a vocal supporter of open source and cloud. He is close to Simon Wardley, one of the UK's leading thinkers on using cloud to commoditise IT provision, and open source as a competitive weapon. There seems little doubt that Maxwell's views will be similar.
The Cabinet Office seems to be laying the ground for Maxwell's promotion – he has recently been a speaker at some high-profile IT conferences, raising his own profile accordingly, spreading the word on open standards and promoting the use of SME suppliers.
If there is one potential drawback, it could be Maxwell's political ambitions. Insiders suggest he wants to be an MP, a role that would surely present an unacceptable conflict of interest with a Civil Service IT job – although who's to say we shouldn't have a capable minister for IT?
Even if the rumours are wrong and someone else turns up as deputy government CIO, there's no doubt that Maxwell will have a significant influence on the future of public sector IT – and in particular on its relationship with the IT industry.
If you're an IT supplier, and you don't yet know who Liam Maxwell is, you'd better find out.


Eradicating poverty in Africa through crowd funded tree planting.
According to the WWF over 50% of the world's forests are lost already and at the moment about 48 football fields of forest is cut down every minute. In Africa only one new tree is planted for every 28 trees that are cut down.
Almost one billion people in the world are living below the world banks "Extreme poverty" line of 1.25$/day. Many of them live in Africa and about 80% of them are farmers, living in the rural areas.
Only 40% of children in rural areas complete an education! We are solving these problems using 3 proven techniques….
Better Globe arrange crowd-funded tree plantations on useless land, in the semi-desert of Africa where there are no jobs and no infrastructure.
They plant cash crop trees on the plantations. The most common ones are Mango trees, Acacia Senegal (produces Gum Arabic) and Mukau (Mahogany).
To plant and take care of the trees they hire people to work for a salary in the plantations. They also have contract farmers, people who have a piece of land can apply to take part of the program and plant trees on their land as a bonus income for the household.
In the rural areas around the plantations Better Globe helps with water security by setting up water collecting systems on the roof of buildings, drilling for water etc.
Better Globe also build and renovate schools and see to it so that children in these areas will have the possibility to an education.
Through the micro financing program, poor people get the chance to open up their own business or to invest in the family farm. The average loan is about 100$ and because of this, thousands of businesses have been started up already, lifting people out of poverty.
The trees are planted on the plantations, which creates jobs, in areas with very few jobs.
With water collecting systems in the poor communities surrounding the plantations the locals don't have to walk for hours every day just to get water.
Education is very important to eradicate poverty, no country has ever taken its people out of poverty without educating them first. So of course the donation package includes building and renovating schools.
The last ingredient is micro financing, the concept that Muhammad Yunus received the Nobel prize for in 2007. Micro financing gives poor farmers the possibility of taking a loan to invest in the family farm or open up a business. Those loans help the poor to increase their income and get out of poverty. Later on those farmers and businesses need workers, creating more jobs, taking even more people out of poverty.
Not only that but the trees absorb carbon dioxide and if you buy one donation package per month for a full year, you have made you and your family CO2 neutral that year. It is estimated that the emissions of an average family in the west are 22-24 tons of CO2 per year. 12 donation packages will contribute to 48 trees being planted and 48 trees will in a lifetime absorb about 24 tons of CO2.
On top of that you will make money! If you buy just one donation package per month for a year (12 DP) the returns will be just under 5000€ in total, about 10% average annual return.
Better Globe believes that to make something sustainable long-term everyone has to become a winner in the process.
Everyone that decides to contribute will therefor also take part of the profits from the trees, making it a Win-Win.
The returns comes from the sales of fruit, rubber and hardwood and are paid out annually over a 20 year period.
When you buy a tree Better Globe will plant a seedling that over the coming 4 years will grow into a income producing tree.
In the 5th year, the tree is big enough to start produce income and you get a piece of the profits. Dividends of 15% are paid out annually every year from year 5 until year 19.
On the 20th year, Better Globe buys back the tree for 10 times the initial price. This is the time when they cut down the Mukau trees (Mahogany) and use it to make high quality furniture, Parquet floors etc.
The trees can be bought separately for 17€ each or through the Donation Package.
The return from the trees average about 14% per year, total 12 times the money back over the 20 year period.
You can buy as many or as few trees and Donation Packages as you like!
Better Globe wants us to buy the Donation Package because that's what really makes a difference and helps the most, BUT there is a problem since from a money making point of view, it's better to just buy trees.
Therefor they have created a way to help more AND make a better deal.
The deal is for everyone that within a calendar year buys 12 Donation Packages and 120 trees (1DP+10 trees/Month). You get 20 bonus trees for FREE making the average price just 16.31€ per tree.
If you are making the purchase after January month you have to buy extra trees and donation packages to cover the previous months (So that the total amount for the year is minimum 12 DP and 120 trees).
To make a one-time purchase just visit Betterglobe.com and click "Login" up in the upper right corner. Login with your chosen password and Customer number (AID), it was sent to you in the confirmation email. When you are logged in click the "Products" tab in the menu to the left. Then just enter the amount of trees and Donation Packages you want to buy, click next and confirm the purchase.
Make sure everything is set up right. When logged in, go to the "Products tab" and check "Buy trees monthly" so it is active and set for 10 trees. And "Buy Donations monthly" so it is set to 1 and is active.
"I have been investing in Better Globe every year since 2006. In 2007 I went to visit the plantations in Kenya and that's when I realized that "this is for real". Since then, I have invested in thousands of trees for myself and my family. Today my 17 year old son is financially independent due to the returns from his trees"
"What really caught my attention with Better Globe was the unique combination of making money while helping people in a sustainable way. I have always helped the less fortunate but here I can do it on a large scale and get returns like with any other investment. I started buying Donation Packages and trees in 2008 and have continued to do so every month since then."
"I have been investing in trees since 2008. Me and my family think it's amazing that we can let our money grow in a way that helps so many people in the same time. I went to Africa to see the plantations and schools with my own eyes, now I tell everyone I meet about this!"
"I started Buying trees from Better Globe in 2007 and have visited the schools and plantations 3 times since then, the system really works and the impact that we are doing for these people is amazing"
""I have been investing in Better Globe every year since 2006. The returns are paid out every year as promised and this project has grown into something really great for people living in extreme poverty, for the environment and for me"
"I have been buying trees and donation packages every month for over 10 years now. I tell everyone I meet about Better Globe because this is the best thing that I have ever seen, and I have seen a lot over the years"


Next to our hummus, this is the dish that put Zahav on the map. We brine a whole lamb shoulder and smoke it over hardwood for a couple of hours. Then we braise it in pomegranate molasses until the meat is tender enough to eat with a spoon. Finally, the lamb shoulder is finished in a hot oven to crisp up the exterior. This dish is the best of all possible worlds—smoky and crispy, soft and tender, sweet and savory—and it's a celebration all by itself. The use of pomegranate in this dish (and the crispy rice we serve with it) is very Persian, which is a cuisine with tradition so rich it always makes me think of palaces and royal banquets.
Put the lamb shoulder in a large (6- to 8-quart) container and pour the brine over the lamb. (Ideally, the lamb shoulder should be submerged, so weight it with two plates. But if that's impractical, cover the lamb with a clean cloth that's saturated in the brine.) Refrigerate the lamb shoulder in the brine overnight or up to 48 hours.

brand: domaine laroche
Free Shipping(2)
The name Domaine Laroche is virtually synonymous with Chablis. For more than 160 years, the Laroche family has been dedicated to producing top quality wines from the Chablis region. The history of Laroche dates back to 1850, when Jean Victor Laroche purchased his first parcel of land in Chablis. In 1967, Michel Laroche, who represents the fifth generation, joined the family business at the age of 21. Convinced of the appellation's potential for high-quality wines, Laroche embarked on a period of expansion, taking the holdings from six hectares (14.83 acres) in 1967 to nearly 100 hectares (247.11 acres) of prime Chablis vineyards today. Vineyards: Like all white Burgundy, only Chardonnay grapes are grown in Chablis. The region is at the northernmost section of Burgundy, separated from the Côte d'Or by the hills of the Morvan and closer in latitude to Champagne than to the rest of Burgundy. Chablis' grand cru and premier cru Chardonnay vineyards are planted primarily on the region's unique Kimmeridgian soil -- a mixture of clay, chalk and fossilized oyster shells -- renowned for producing crisp, minerally, precise and elegant wines that have become prized throughout the world. Domaine Laroche owns a total of nearly 100 hectares (247.11 acres) spread out across the entire region, including 6 hectares (14.83 acres) of grands crus, 29.66 hectares (73.29 acres) of premiers crus, 63.02 hectares (155.72 acres) of Chablis, plus 2.25 hectares (5.56 acres) of Petit Chablis. Michel Laroche passionately believes that the best wine can only be made using the finest grapes. His approach to viticulture is to create optimal conditions to achieve top-quality fruit -- purity and typicity being the heart of the Domaine Laroche philosophy. Grégory Viennois, technical director of all Laroche estates, along with his team, shares this view, working in tune with nature, encouraging low yields and natural ecology in order to produce fruit that is true to its vineyard origins. Domaine Laroche relies on one-man plots, meaning that one person is wholly responsible for the care of a single vineyard parcel, from the pruning, soil conditioning and control of yields to the sorting of the harvest. Domaine Laroche is currently undergoing active conversion to organic viticulture. Winemaking: The gentlest-possible methods are used in the winery to protect the fruit's natural characters and maintain the purest expressions of each vineyard plot. Fermentation is usually carried out in stainless-steel tanks, except for the premiers and grands crus, which are partly fermented in barrels in order to impart delicate oak flavor and additional oxygen. As part of Michel Laroche's goal to retain purity and minerality in the finished wines, he was the first Burgundian producer, in 2001, to switch to screwcap closures, even for his grand cru wines.

RICHMOND HILL, Ont. - A Burlington, Ont.-based company that services industrial cranes has been fined $125,000 after a worker suffered a fatal electrical shock on the job.
The Ministry of Labour says Konecranes Canada Inc.
pleaded guilty last week to a charge under the Occupation Health and Safety Act in connection with the 2015 incident.
The ministry says a worker and manager were working to repair a 20-ton overhead crane at Van-Rob Inc., an auto parts manufacturer in Richmond Hill, Ont., at the time.
It says that while using a scissor lift to reach the crane, the manager received an electrical shock. The crane's power source is rated at 600 volts.
The ministry says the manager died in hospital.
It says an investigation found the workers did not follow the energy isolation and verification procedures laid out in the company's safety manual, which constitutes a breach of the Occupational Health and Safety Act.
The court also imposed a 25% victim fine surcharge, which goes to a special provincial government fund to assist victims of crime.

Mayor Lee Brand has announced his withdrawal of a proposed half-cent sales to support Fresno parks and public safety expenditures.
In a Thursday morning press release, Brand stated that he didn't see any chance of the five-person City Council approving the addition of the measure to the ballot in November.
Despite the setback, however, Brand said that he remains committed to working on parks and public safety in Fresno, expressing hopes that residents in Fresno would have the opportunity to vote on how the city will look and feel over the next 15 years.

Revision is where the magic happens in writing, when you wash the mud and silt from your sliver of gold, polish it, and mold it into art. During this 5-week course, we'll workshop your creative work-in-progress (up to twenty pages), looking at elements like form, style, voice, character, and pacing.
Four weeks. $75. Contact Crystal to register.
There's a reason that ancient stories still resonate with us. In this 4-week course, we'll look at what makes fables, myths, and fairy tales so timeless and apply these elements to modern-day storytelling. Bring your favorite stories to share and prepare to do some writing!
Six weeks. $100. Contact Crystal to register.
Flash fiction is a form of writing that embraces the short-short story, typically fewer than 750 words. Like any flash writing, it requires a careful economy of language in which every word, every line of dialogue, and every movement matters. Good flash fiction has the ability to hint at a larger story without giving away all its secrets.
This course will explore some of the best examples of flash fiction. We'll play around with the six-word story, the 140-word story ("twitterature"), the dribble (50 words), the drabble (100 words), and sudden fiction (750 words), focusing on the barest, stripped-down elements of fiction.
Flash memoir is a form of creative nonfiction that tells a true story about your life in under 1,000 words. If the memoir essay (see below) is a slice of your life, the flash memoir is a snapshot in which every detail, every light and shadow, every word and gesture is saturated with meaning. Flash memoir requires a unique interplay of discipline and poetry, which is excellent training for any kind of writing.
During this 4-week course, we'll look at examples of effective flash memoir, and then play with the genre using a combination of journaling, free-writing, and using actual photographs.
The memoir essay, short nonfiction writing that draws from a particular memory, has become one of the most popular forms of creative nonfiction. It allows you to write creatively and deeply about a period of your life–an afternoon, a summer, or a period of five years, for example–that gives you cause to reflect. The most successful memoir essays speak to something universally relatable; they give us another way to understand how to be human.
This course will guide you through generating material (it's okay if you already have some ideas), sifting and refining your memories, and structuring them into an artistic, literary form. You will leave this course with a polished draft.
Eight weeks. $125. Contact Crystal to register.
This is a series for the writer interested in generating new material. We will gather once a week for four weeks to read, write, and share with a unique method guaranteed to produce writing fuel. At each meeting, we'll share some poetry, think deeply, then write in short bursts without editing or censoring ourselves. At the end of the writing segment, each of us will share our work. Because these workshops produce very rough writing, this is not a place for critique, only for unrestrained creativity and fellowship.
The Prose From Poetry series is a great way to get unstuck, set writing goals, and build a tribe. Because each series is different, you can take this course over and over whenever you need a jumpstart.
Mythologist Joseph Campbell is best known for his theory, based on Jungian psychology, of the journey of an archetypal hero that can be found in cultures around the world. Writers and filmmakers like George Lucas, Steven Spielberg, Richard Adams, and Dan Brown have achieved enormous success using Campbell's work as a blueprint for plot and character development. However, Campbell's theory has been criticized as outdated and simplistic, ignoring the intersections of race, gender, sexuality, and politics.
In this course, we'll look for what is useful in Campbell's theory, but also imagine what a different archetypal hero might look like. This course will come with a reading list of books that follow the journey of Campbell's hero as well as books that reinvent that journey and, consequently, the hero.
If you find yourself thinking, "I'm just not a creative person," or wishing you could see the sparks of artistic magic others seem to find without effort, this is the class for you. Creativity is not a fixed trait, like being born with blue eyes or curly hair; it is a skill, a practice, and a way of life that can be cultivated.
This course is fast-paced and fun. Because play is at the heart of creativity, we'll dig deep to unbury your inner child and let it loose. Come prepared to laugh, experiment, look a little silly (but not too silly), and, of course, write.
America has an especially rich history of environmental writing. Although many of us think of Henry David Thoreau's Walden as the forerunner of modern environmentalism, writing (and storytelling) about the land extends much further back and crosses cultures.
This course will look at the different ways writers have approached the land and life that surrounds us and write our way into the ongoing conversation.
Building on Brené Brown's work on the power of vulnerability and Elizabeth Gilbert's insistence that we all have a creative genius inside us, we will gather as a comfortable group once a week to nurture our creativity, to listen and reflect, and to write in ways that can support healing. This class does not offer feedback or critique, but uses writing as a form of therapy, self-knowledge, and even spirituality, in which we focus on the therapeutic powers of deep, reflective writing.
Whatever you are healing from–loss, addiction, abuse, or an unnamed pain–bring your courage, your vulnerability, your empathy, and a pencil with a good eraser.

In today's general audience, held in the Vatican's Paul VI Hall, the Pope spoke about the life and work of St. Dominic de Guzman, founder of the Order of Preachers, or Dominican Order.
St. Dominic was born in Caleruega, near the Spanish city of Burgos, in the year 1170. While still a student he "distinguished himself for his interest in the study of Sacred Scriptures and his love for the poor". Having been ordained a priest he was elected as canon of the cathedral of Osma, however "he did not consider this as a personal privilege, nor as the first step in a brilliant ecclesiastical career; rather, as a service to be rendered with dedication and humility. Do not career and power represent a temptation to which even those who have roles of leadership and government in the Church are not immune?" the Pope asked.
He then explained how the bishop of Osma "soon noted Dominic's spiritual qualities and sought his collaboration. Together they travelled to northern Europe on diplomatic missions. ... On his journeys Dominic became aware of ... the existence of peoples still un-evangelised, ... and of the religious divides that weakened Christian life in the south of France, where the activity of certain heretical groups created disturbance and distanced people from the truth of the faith".
Pope Honorius III asked Dominic "to dedicate himself to preaching to the Albigensians" and he "enthusiastically accepted this mission, which he undertook through the example of his own life of poverty and austerity, through preaching the Gospel and through public discussions".
"Christ", the Pope went on, "is the most precious treasure that men and women of all times and places have the right to know and love! It is consoling to see how also in today's Church there are many people (pastors and lay faithful, members of ancient religious orders and of new ecclesial movements) who joyfully give their lives for the supreme ideal of announcing and bearing witness to the Gospel".
As more and more companions joined him, Dominic established his first house in the French city of Toulouse, from which the Order of Preachers came into being. "He adopted the ancient Rule of St. Augustine, adapting it to the requirements of an itinerant apostolic life in which he and his confreres would move from one place to another preaching, but always returning to their convents, places of study, prayer and community life".
St. Dominic, the Holy Father continued, "was keen that his followers should have a solid theological formation, and did not hesitate to send them to the universities of the time". There they dedicated themselves to the study of theology, "founded on Holy Scripture but respectful of the questions raised by reason".
The Pope encouraged everyone, "pastors and lay people, to cultivate this 'cultural dimension' of the faith, that the beauty of Christian truth may be better understood and the faith truly nourished, strengthened and defended. In this Year for Priests, I invite seminarians and priests to respect the spiritual value of study. The quality of priestly ministry also depends on the generosity with which we apply ourselves to studying revealed truths".
Dominic died in Bologna in 1221 and was canonised in 1234. "With his sanctity, he shows us two indispensable means for making apostolic activity more incisive", the Pope concluded; "firstly, Marian devotion", especially the praying of the Rosary "which his spiritual children had the great merit of popularising", and secondly, "the value of prayers of intercession for the success of apostolic work".

A good hat is undeniably stylish, but if you suffer from dandruff it could be making the problem worse. Find out why and what to do about it.
It's not too difficult a problem to deal with, luckily.
A good dandruff shampoo will help control the cause of dandruff while easing its symptoms.
Unfortunately, a hat can make the problem worse.
The problem with hats and dandruff has to do with the way your scalp works. It's a fairly complex ecosystem, and as such is susceptible to external factors.
When you wear a hat you're causing your head to heat up, as well as trapping moisture in the form of sweat.
This provides the ideal environment for malassezia to proliferate, and can therefore lead to dandruff flare-ups. In those already suffering from dandruff it can make the problem worse.
So what's the fashion-minded dandruff sufferer to do?
The first, and simplest thing to do is to take your hat off.
Giving your hair and scalp time to air will drastically reduce malassezia's ability to cause problems, so going bare-headed every now and again is well worth it.
Next, make sure you're using a shampoo designed to help keep you dandruff free.
Depending on how often you wear your hat, you may want to wash your hair a little more frequently. Not only will this help keep your dandruff under control, it will wash away any build-up caused by sweat.
That way, you can have your hat and wear it, too.

Q: How to check if youtube url in C# I want to check if an given URL a is link to http://youtube.com.
I know there are lots of various shortened version's of the links (e.g. http://youtu.be), so what I am after is a way to resolve the URL and see if it ends up as http://youtube.com.
A couple of example inputs are:
http://www.youtube.com/v/[videoid]
http://www.youtu.be/watch?v=[videoid]

Does anyone know of a way to do this?

A: You could perform a HEAD request:
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.Create("http://www.youtu.be/Ddn4MGaS3N4");
request.Method = "HEAD";
using (HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse()) {
    Console.WriteLine("Does this resolve to youtube?: {0}", response.ResponseUri.ToString().Contains("youtube.com") ? "Yes" : "No");
}

Appears to work fine. Unsure of edge cases but seems to do the job.
(Note: No error checking here such as 404 errors, etc).

A:                     bool isYoutube = false;

                    string host = new Uri(url).Host;
                    if (host == "youtube.com" || host == "youtu.be")
                    {
                        isYoutube = true;
                    }

A: First you may have to check what the hostname is for youtube (I'm just assuming it is http://youtube.com) but after you have that the following code will do what you want;
 using System.Net;

 IPHostEntry host = Dns.Resolve(theInputHostName);
 if (host.HostName == "http://youtube.com")
      // it resolves to youtube, do something.

A: If you want to know whether a given URL redirects (using status codes 301/302) to an YouTube URL, you may either use WebClient/HttWebRequest/whatever directly and check the response, or disable HttpWebRequest.AllowAutoRedirect and traverse all redirects manually (checking the status code and then the Location HTTP header).

I am possibly one of the last to do so, but I finally got around to reading the 4 main books in the Lunar Chronicles Series. Basically, the books are retellings of Grimm Fairy Tales set in a techno future with the Earth pitted against the humans on the Moon. The books revolved around Cinder and her compatriots as she tries to right an old wrong. To say more would be to fill this review with spoilers.
I certainly understand why these books are so popular. I enjoyed them quite a bit. I'm always a sucker for retold fairy tales, and these did not disappoint. By far, my favorite book was Cinder, but I enjoyed all of the books that I read in the series. However, once I was done with the overall plot line, I did not feel the need to read the short stories or the other associated materials.
I would recommend this book for those who like retold fairy tales, especially those who are thinking of writing one themselves. This was a novel way to approach an old subject matter, and I appreciated that.
