Theatre review: Loserville
It's all looking very retro at the Garrick at the moment, as it may be playing host to a new musical, but Elliot Davis and James Bourne's Loserville is set in 1971, while there's something of the Starlight Express to Francis O'Connor's neon microchip of a set. Though a British musical, this is very much the classic American high school story, as Michael Dork (they... they know what that word actually means, right?) and his Star Trek-loving friends spend their time in the school's computer room, steering clear of the popular kids. When a similarly geeky girl, Holly, arrives at the school, Michael not only gets a romantic interest on his wavelength, but also an ally who can help with his attempt to make computers send messages to each other: He essentially wants to invent email, and get there before the big computer corporation up the road does.
The plot holds about as much water as most musicals', but the generic high school story is put to good use in a family-friendly show that's perhaps arrived in the West End a bit too early in its development, but still has a fair bit to recommend it.
The posters plug Loserville as ideal for fans of Glee, and the songs are appropriately fun pop-rock numbers, energetically performed in Steven Dexter's production by a young cast (any "adult" roles are only heard in voiceover.) Songs like "Slacker" and "The Little Things" provide a couple of good showstoppers and the show succeeds in getting the feet tapping. The book is a bit less solid, and what makes me think the show could have done with a few more months of workshopping before transferring, but was probably rushed to the Garrick when Chicago closed. The show's attempt at comedy is by far the weakest element, and even though tonight's audience was an enthusiastic one and very much on the show's side, the one-liners drop to deafening silence. Only Francis' ("Lil'"Chris Hardman) terrible attempts at pick-up lines raise a laugh in the first act.
The show overall remains terribly likeable though, and has some enthusiastic performances. As Michael, Aaron Sidwell's singing voice is rather nasal (but given the songs are by Busted's songwriter, they're presumably meant to be sung that way) and occasionally cracks on the big notes, but he's an appealing leading man, well-matched by Eliza Hope Bennett's Holly. Also good is Charlotte Harwood as Leia, head of the resident mean girls, who doesn't get to break out her singing voice enough but impresses when she does. And O'Connor's set is the other star of the show - not so much the primary-coloured, brightly-lit scaffolding that forms the show's backdrop, as the endearingly lo-tech way the individual locations are represented, and which also provides the opportunity to give the show opening and closing credit sequences.
Having gone into Loserville with fairly low expectations probably helped me enjoy it all the more, and while I could never get quite as wrapped up in it as the target audience there was fun to be had in the songs. With no star names and fairly lukewarm reviews it may struggle to stay open to its current booking date, but I wouldn't mind if it proved me wrong and became a West End fixture; it's a proper family show that kept the younger audience members enthralled while providing some winks to the older ones.
Loserville by Elliot Davis, James Bourne, Martin Lowe, Mike Raphael, Tom Fletcher, Peter Woodroffe, Charlie Grant and The Matrix is booking until the 2nd of March at the Garrick Theatre.

Defects in the system for rescuing financially troubled nations have become glaring.
"Something appears to be amiss in the international economy," says a United Nations report.
"The prevailing system of international lending is fundamentally flawed," echoes billionaire financier George Soros in the Financial Times.
For one thing, the system hasn't stopped east Asia's financial turmoil from threatening the world's economic welfare.
Another flaw is that the present system favors creditors over borrowers. That usually means industrial nations over developing countries.
The bailout process works something like it might for a college graduate piled high with student loans and credit card debts. Not all his purchases were wise, but many were. He can't make payments. Dad steps in, digs up a loan himself, and finds a consolidation loan. It stretches out repayment over more years at a higher interest rate. The banks which bombarded the callow youth with cards take no loss. It isn't fun.
In Asia's bailouts, overly eager lenders also may come out relatively whole. Some of their loans to banks or industrial enterprises in an emerging market are to be taken over by that nation's government. Thus a risky loan, rightly paying high interest rates, suddenly becomes more secure, probably even at a higher rate.
Meanwhile, consumers and mom and pop businesses (and occasionally big business) in a crisis nation suffer from the stringency the International Monetary Fund, the tough Washington-based lender of last resort, imposes when it puts together a rescue loan package. Shape up, lads, the IMF says. Its goal is to restore international investors' confidence and put that nation's international payments balance into the black.
Mr. Soros proposes creation of an International Credit Insurance Corp. as a sister to the IMF. It would guarantee international loans for a modest fee. Borrowing countries would be obliged to provide data on all loans, public or private. This would enable the new agency to set a ceiling on the amounts it is willing to insure. For any loans beyond that, lenders would be on notice of potential danger.
On the other side, Ian Vasquez, an analyst at the libertarian CATO Institute in Washington, proposes letting the free market take care of the crisis. The IMF, he says, should abandon the rescue business. This would force debtors and creditors to negotiate a "quicker and fairer" deal. They would share losses. The IMF wouldn't be able to impose loan conditions that hurt innocent bystanders - namely the public in emerging nations.
Both proposed solutions go too far. Leaving it entirely to the wonders of the free market is too risky. There could be a domino effect, with failing lenders knocking down weak creditors. Private money does on occasion take flight in panic, moving like sheep in an irrational herd. Free market solutions can be excessively harsh.
Nor do we think the world needs yet another global agency. It isn't clear loan guarantees are the answer.
What is needed is greater "transparency" in financial institutions in emerging nations - that is, valid, comprehensive information on their borrowings. The IMF has been pushing these countries to open their books. It is seeking the power to be a bigger snoop on capital flows. The Institute of International Finance (IIF) in Washington, representing major private financial institutions, also attempts to dig out numbers.
More accurate statistics are needed if private lenders are to make wiser foreign loan decisions. There should be no surprises, like in South Korea, where billions in unsuspected loans to businesses suddenly surfaced.
The IMF and the IIF must insist on greater transparency - a policy that would discourage the cronyism and corruption that plagues many emerging nations in Asia. A needed moral dimension could thus be inserted into foreign loan decisions. At the same time, regulators within these countries must learn to restrain the short-term borrowing that got so many banks and companies into trouble when foreign confidence tumbled.

I'm A Celebrity 2020
Coronation Street last year ditched pandemic plot for being 'too far fetched'
Alison Slade Sat, November 28 8:41am
Credit: ITV
Oh, the irony!
Coronation Street producer Iain MacLeod has revealed that he considered having a story on the soap about a global pandemic – but didn't run with it because he thought it was "too far fetched."
The soap's head honcho made the admission in a press conference ahead of Coronation Street's 60th anniversary, in which he discussed the thunderbolt of Covid-19 and its impact on his plans for the diamond landmark.
Responding to a remark that "you couldn't write it", he revealed how, in a bizarre case of foreshadowing, he had previously been approached about running a storyline in which a pandemic hit the cobbles, but decided it was too implausible to work.
Super spreader: The hypothetical plot saw Tyrone bringing a bird flu-like virus to Weatherfield
"You say nobody could've written this, but about a year ago, when we were talking about what we'd do for our 60th anniversary, two of our writers pitched a story for a global pandemic, would you believe," MacLeod explained.
"It originated in Tyrone's pigeon loft. He'd taken up racing pigeons in homage to Jack, and it came in as some sort of bird flu and spread round the street.
"The consensus around the writing room was 'No, it's just too far fetched, no-one's going to buy that.' Fast forward to now, and it all looks horribly prescient."
Coronation Street's special week of episodes kicks off 7th December, with three stories taking centre stage.
Yasmeen will discover her fate following her trial for the attempted murder of abusive husband Geoff, with the verdict having dramatic ramifications back on the cobbles.
Anniversary verdict: Yasmeen will learn if she's to stay in prison or walk free
Peter's paranoia over Carla's recent fling will rocket, leading him to wrongly accuse Daniel of being his partner's mystery man. Meanwhile, the residents will come together to fight ruthless Ray Crosby's redevelopment plans.
MacLeod added that social distancing rules as a result of Covid had forced him to cut back on big stunts, but admitted that he felt the changes had worked for the better.
"We were going to build some stuff, but we physically couldn't get enough chippies and other design personnel into our construction shed to make the things we wanted, so we had to jettison that idea," he said.
Coronation Street star to undergo big transformation for 'slow suicide' plot
Coronation Street: 'Colossal, thriller-ish and high-octane storyline coming up for Leanne and Simon
"What it's forced us to do is, to some degree, go back to brass tacks and focus on character and writing and performance – still keep the brilliant stories but boil them down to their essence.
"It's arguably, I would suggest, truer to the original version of Coronation Street than the slightly more bells and whistles version we were going to do."

Stylee Fridays: Coreen Simpson and The Black Cameo
We first came across Coreen Simpson via her iconic collection of street style portraits of impossibly stylish black men and women on the NYC nightlife scene of the 1980s that we published back in FADER #33. Simpson also happens to have a good helping of style herself, working as a jewelry designer throughout her photography career. Her new book, The Black Cameo, pays homage to the accessories sensation she started back in the late '80s—chic black and white cameos with the profile of a black woman. Before her pieces, black images on jewelry of this kind were pretty much unheard of, and when her collection launched at the Studio Museum of Harlem there were literally hoards of women lining up to get them. We chatted with Simpson about her days street-vending on 57th street, about the origins of the cameo and why, in her opinion, personal style is the only thing that we really own. Q+A and pictures after the jump.
As a photographer, what drew you to jewelry design?
I've always loved jewelry since I was a child. And when I was working as a freelance photographer there was a transition period and I started selling things on the street with a friend of mine in the East Village. I took design courses at Parsons too—the more I took the more my jewels sold. Then I went to Madison and 57th Street—it was a hard time though because of the police. But one day I made so much money on 57th street I couldn't believe it. Carolina Herrera, who still has a studio on 57th street, saw my things and invited me to her studio. She bought 11 of my necklaces for her resort collection.
Why did you start making the cameos?
Well one of my clients was a magazine editor. She told me that Chanel had just came out with a cameo. But she wanted a cameo of a black woman and asked if I could make one. Could I find a black cameo in 1989? No. So I decided to make one myself.
What was the response?
It was crazy. I told the Studio Museum in Harlem that I was coming out with a cameo for Christmas 1990. Women were standing on line on 125th street. It just took off after that.
Why do think people were so excited?
Because black people at that time felt disenfranchised. I think black women needed an empowerment tool and it was just the right thing at the right time. People were hungry for self-identification and self-representation and no one was doing this before it.
What are the origins of the cameo?
People don't realize that cameo making comes directly from Egypt. They think it originates from Italy. When I went to the New York Library and did my research I found out that it came from the original Egyptian seals and that the Italians picked it up from there.
When did you realize you had an eye for style?
When I was growing up in Brooklyn I remember seeing a black man on Pacific street wearing an orange suit and everybody stopped. I never forgot that. He looked like a god. This was in the '50s. That was a transcendent moment for me. He seemed to be moving in slow motion and it just blew my mind. Clothes and jewelry have always been very important to me in observance of how people present themselves because that's empowerment. Everything I do is about self-presentation and empowerment. You know why it's so important? Because even people who have very little can control how they present themselves to the world. If you have no money, no nothing, you can throw on a scarf, put your hat to the side and walk out in to the street and feel good. It's style. Diana Vreeland said if you're not born with it I feel sorry for your ass.
Coreen Simpson will be holding a signing for her book The Black Cameo on Thursday, 28 May 6-8pm at the June Kelly Gallery in Manhattan.

Below are several resources to help you check your leave balances, fill out and submit a leave request, fill out and submit your time sheet, and approve time sheets for employees that report to you.
Full Time CSEA employees record when they start and when the stop work. This is known as "time-in/time-out reporting." There is a text based guide (with screenshots) to help you through filling out and submitting a time sheet using this method.
Part Time employees record when they start and when the stop work. This is known as "time-in/time-out reporting." Part Time entry differs from Full Time "time-in/time-out" entry with regard to leave. Part Time time sheets lack the various types of leave and lumps all leave into a single category of "leave credits" (if eligible). There is a text based guide (with screenshots) to help you through filling out and submitting a time sheet using this method.
If you have employees that report to you, your time sheet responsibility doesn't end with you submitting your time sheet. You also have to review and sign off on the time sheets of those who report to you.
You will likely not always be available to review and approve time sheets for your direct reports. You take vacations too, right? To allow someone else to approve time sheets on your behalf when you are unavailable, you need to set them up as your proxy approver.

Pre-Parliament (, Nakhakhorhrdaran) is an Armenian civil initiative, formed partly by the Sardarapat Movement on 15 November 2012.

Membership
Its notable members include:
Jirair Sefilian, Lebanese-born Armenian military commander of the First Nagorno-Karabakh War, known for his role during the Capture of Shusha
Tigran Khzmalyan, filmmaker
Larisa Alaverdyan, Armenia's former Ombudsman
Alexander Yenikomshian, convicted terrorist, former member of the terrorist Armenian Secret Army for the Liberation of Armenia
Hranush Kharatyan, ethnographer

Arrests
On April 7, police in Yerevan arrested five members of Pre-Parliament: its chairman, Garegin Chugaszyan, founding member Jirair Sefilyan, as well as Varuzhan Avetisyan, Pavel Manukyan, and Gevorg Safaryan. Police searched the men's homes and Pre-Parliament's office, and seized wooden bats, kitchen knives, a stun gun, and a publicly available Pre-Parliament pamphlet published last year. The police also seized flags of Armenia, Nagorno-Karabakh, and the Pre-Parliament.

On April 9, the Special Investigation Service charged all five men with planning a mass disturbance (art. 225 part 1 of the Criminal Code) and preparation of a crime (Art. 35). Lawyers for the men told Human Rights Watch that the charges stem from Pre-Parliament's plans to hold a rally in Yerevan on April 24, the day of commemoration of the 100-year anniversary of the Armenian genocide. The group had applied for permission to hold the rally, which the Yerevan authorities approved near the Erebuni Library. Pre-Parliament advertised a rally that would not interfere with events commemorating the anniversary of the genocide. According to the men's lawyers, the charges are also based on the Pre-Parliament's booklet, which describes the group's aim of a change of government of Armenia through peaceful means, including civil disobedience.

On April 10, the Kentron Nork-Marash district court in Yerevan approved the investigation's request for remand detention and sent all five men to pretrial custody. Following the court's ruling, authorities transferred Sefilyan, Avetisyan, and Manukyan to the Vardashen prison, and Chukaszyan and Safaryan to the Nubarashen prison where they are in custody with the general prison population. Their lawyers have expressed concern about over crowding in some of the cells.

After his April 7 arrest, Pavel Manukyan declared a hunger strike that lasted several days and ended some time before April 13. One of Safaryan's lawyers reported that he declared a hunger strike on April 20, possibly in response to mistreatment by cellmates. At the time he was in a cell with 17 people, with only nine beds. After Safaryan declared a hunger strike, a doctor examined him to assess his general health and he was moved to a cell with other people on hunger strikes. As of April 27, he had not received further visits from any medical personnel.

Pre-Parliament members were being targeted for their peaceful political beliefs and that the charges are intended to interfere with their right to freedom of thought, expression, and assembly as protected by the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), to which Armenia is a party. Article 225 of Armenia's Criminal Code, under which the men are charged, prohibits "organizing mass disorder accompanied with violence, pogroms, arson, destruction or damage to property, using fire-arms, explosives or explosive devices, or by armed resistance to the representative of the authorities." Pre-Parliament's booklet and advertisement for the rally call for civil disobedience and peaceful political change.

Further, pre-trial detention should be considered a last resort. Article 9(3) of the ICCPR states that, "It shall not be the general rule that persons awaiting trial shall be detained in custody." The United Nations Human Rights Committee, which provides authoritative interpretation of the covenant, has determined that bail should be granted except in cases in which there is a likelihood that the accused would abscond, destroy evidence, or influence witnesses. Given Pre-Parliament's nonviolent views and in the absence of a lawful and credible basis for detention, the men should be freed, pending investigation.

The men, who are currently under investigation, were in custody with convicted criminals in violation of international standards on pre-trial detention. ICCPR article 10(2)(a) mandates that accused persons shall be segregated from convicted persons and accorded treatment appropriate for their status as non-convicted persons. According to their lawyers, the prison authorities have not allowed the men to receive visits from family members, which are permitted during pre-trial detention at the discretion of the prison authorities. Such discretion should not be used to withhold privileges to punish the men for their political beliefs or affiliations.

In light of these concerns, Human Rights Watch called upon Armenia's Prosecutor General's office to:

- Independently review the charges, which appear intended to interfere with the Pre-Parliament members' rights to expression and assembly;

- Release all five men from custody, pending a prompt, impartial, and credible investigation into their charges;

- Until such time as they are released pending an independent investigation into the charges:

- Take immediate steps to ensure that Chugaszyan, Sefilyan, Avetisyan, Manukyan, and Safaryan are held in facilities separate from convicted inmates, and have access to appropriate medical care and independent legal counsel.

- Ensure that Chugaszyan, Sefilyan, Avetisyan, Manukyan, and Safaryan may receive family visits as permitted by regulations.

- Investigate allegations that Safaryan has been subjected to ill-treatment by his cellmates and take appropriate measures to ensure his safety.

The Edges of Twilight is the third album by Canadian rock band The Tea Party, released in 1995. The album features many instruments from around the world, giving various songs a strong world music flavour in addition to the rock/blues influences evident in the band's earlier releases. Jeff Burrows explained that "basically we wanted to expand upon the initial idea that we tried on Splendor Solis, which was trying to incorporate different styles of world music into our music. So with this album we became more familiar with many more instruments. In our minds we were trying to do for a rock album what Peter Gabriel does to pop by infusing various cultures, percussion and exotic sounds into it."

The Edges of Twilight helped propel the band into mainstream success in their native Canada, where it reached #11 on the Canadian album chart and double platinum status, and earned the band several Juno nominations, including "Best Rock Album" and "Group of the Year".

The title of the album is taken from a chapter of the book Fire in the Head, by the American author Tom Cowan, which also inspired the name of the first track on the album.

The album includes a hidden song which features a spoken word performance by the folk legend Roy Harper, who is a friend of the band.

On the cover is a statue by William Wetmore Story called Angel of Grief.

To commemorate the 20th anniversary of The Edges of Twilight, the Tea Party released a deluxe remastered CD, remastered LP, and a North American tour. The deluxe CD also includes a bonus disc that includes alternate, live, radio sessions and bonus audio and the booklet features the story of the album with new band interviews and previously unseen photos. A series of original artworks were commissioned by the band from Australian artist Robert Buratti which were released worldwide. Buratti also created a series of short films which were projected as a backdrop to the band while performing across Canada and Australia.

Sneak Peek Buzz on James Franco's "Sal"
By JENNI OLSON August 16, 2013 at 5:08am
Exciting news from the folks at Tribeca Film — look for a November 1st theatrical release of James Franco's long-awaited Sal (it premiered at the Venice Film Festival in late 2011 — feel free to share any insider gossip on the delayed release down in the comments field).
This meticulously observed study of the last 24 hours in the life of Hollywood screen legend Sal Mineo boasts a bravura performance by Val Lauren (Interior. Leather Bar.) as the openly gay actor who was tragically murdered in 1976.
With last year's A Portrait of James Dean: Joshua Tree, 1951 shining the light on fellow '50s icon (and Rebel Without A Cause co-star) James Dean, it's exciting to see the lesser-known Mineo finally receive his own biopic treatment. With a screenplay by Stacy Miller, the film is adapted from Michael Gregg Michaud's 2010 Sal Mineo: A Biography.
As the story unfolds, Mineo is on the verge of directing his first film and acting in a stage play in Los Angeles. His boyfriend is coming to visit from New York City. Clearly broke but nonetheless infectiously cheerful, Sal's day ranges from working out at the gym, notating his film script, talking on the phone with friends. He reminisces about his early days shooting Rebel with Dean, and tools around in his Chevy Malibu puffing away on a Salem. The film's artfully-crafted minimalist production design evokes a pitch-perfect mid-'70s aesthetic and sustains a creatively suspenseful 85-minute real-life drama.
Gorgeously shot by cinematographer Christina Voros, this latest Franco directorial effort shares the contemplatively-paced style of his other 2011 gay biopic The Broken Tower (about poet Hart Crane) and showcases yet another fascinating gay icon who died too soon.

Dev.C
Exactly how gay was Sal Mineo, didn't he have more consistent relationships with women?
I also remember reading somewhere that he was unaware of sexual desires for men when he worked with James Dean, and that if Dean had lived then he may have had a relationship with him but he didn't dwell on that fact because he died.
Most of these out older actors came off as bisexual or curious with gay experiences, but never really affirming any real pride in homosexuality.
I would like to see more revealing information about these gay actors rather than how they were depicted to make heterosexuals feel comfortable.
@Dev.C: I don't know so much about his sexuality in the '50s when he worked with James Dean (tho I'm sure that is all covered in Michaud's book), but certainly in the '70s he was out and working on gay projects like the stage version of Fortune & Men's Eyes.
Doughosier
He was pretty gay but like a lot of men, especially in that time, he was slow to be at ease with it. He had some of the great beauties of Hollywood, including Bobby Sherman and Don Johnson.

It would not be possible for him to be gay and proud or even comfortable with being out in his time .Given that not only would it have ended any hopes he had of having a career, it would have possibly led him to being imprisoned.Tab Hunter was often described as being shy and unlucky in love.Even today there are famous Hollywood stars afraid to come out because of the fear it would damage their careers, particularly international stars whose appeal might be global .In some societies the situation and reputation of lgbt people is worse than it was in the west 50 years ago.

Q: Svn advice -- splitting a program into two parts I'd Like advice setting up a svn structure and strategy. Here's the deal.
I have one large-ish program that I want to break into two separate programs, each of which will be further developed independently. The two independent programs will run in succession, communicate via files, and together do pretty much the same job as the existing single program, but in two phases.
When this is all done, the two programs (plus a command file to run them in succession) will be the product, and the original single program will retire to pasture, though remain available for consulting should there be questions.
Right now there is just one programmer (moi) and one customer who just runs it. There will always be just one customer. Ultimately, different programmers will work on the two parts, though initially it will just be me on both. This ability for different programmers to work independently is the main reason for the split, so that's not an issue for me.
My tentative development strategy is to clone the single program twice and then morph each clone into one of the two separate parts. The two parts will share some code, structures and constants, but not much. I presumably also need a separate small codebase for the command file.
What svn structure and strategy would folks recommend? Should I create two branches or tags off the original code, or two separate codebases? How should I structure the repo? Etc?
Assume that the existing single program is not yet in svn (it is, but not elegantly, so I'm happy to start over).
I am pretty much an svn naif and want to keep this as simple as possible (but not simpler -- thanks Albert). Right now I sometimes using svn via Tortoise and sometimes from within JetBrains RubyMine. I'm not sure the two work very well together, so I am willing to go one way or the other. I create svn repos at my web host service, and I am happy with that, so I don't really want to switch to git.
(I looked at related questions, and none seems to quite fit my situation.)

A: trunk/
    project1
    project2

etc

I think you're over thinking this :) especially if the programs are very related in terms of communications and interfaces. You'll probably want to keep them in sync as you make changes that affect both sides. You can still tag the project directories individually, whilst branching both at the same time for major changes.
Chances are you'll also end up with a project3 (or common stuff) so its a good idea to keep them close and not put them in different repositories.

A: I like the initial plan to take the same original code-base and put it into two projects.  Add a third for the supervisor script.  If there will really be shared code, lets put that in one place that is accessible to the teams.  That could be the 4th project, or just let your team know that shared code goes in project y.  Your build tool can be responsible for pulling that shared part from the correct project, but please don't maintain copies of it in multiple places.
BTW: This sounds like a great opportunity to switch to git.  By using a feature branch or git flow type of workflow, you should be able to more easily scale the number of developers.  <-- but I still believe this.

A: I would create multiple projects, in one repository. The layout would look like this:
/
   project1/
       trunk/
          project 1 files and folders
       tags/
       branches/
   project2/
       trunk/
          project 2 files and folders
       tags/
       branches/
   project3/
       trunk/
          project 3 files and folders
       tags/
       branches/

I like your idea of paring down the starting codebase to create both projects. I'd do that by committing it all to one project first, then using svn copy to get the baseline code in the 2nd project, and going from there independently in each project.

Q: Why the operator overloading == is not working? I need to check if these 2 vectors are equal using overload == but its always working only else statement.
#include <iostream>
#include <algorithm>
#include <vector>
#include <iterator>
using namespace std;
class Set {
public:
    vector<int> mult;
    friend bool operator ==(const Set&, const Set&);
};
bool operator ==(const Set& a, const Set& b) {
    return (a.mult == b.mult);
}

int main()
{
    Set* set_1 = new Set;
    Set* set_2 = new Set;
    for (int i = 1; i <= 5; i++)
       set_1->mult.push_back(i);
    for (int i = 1; i <= 5; i++)
        set_2->mult.push_back(i);

    if (set_2 == set_1) {
        cout << "True ";
    }
    else {
        cout << "False";
    }
}

A: Neither set_1 nor set_2 is a set. They are pointers to sets. You are comparing pointers rather than sets, and therefore your comparison operator - that accepts set reference operands - will not be called.
When you compare a pointer with another, you are comparing whether they point to the same object. set_1 and set_2 point to distinct objects, and therefore do not compare equal.
So, your problem isn't that your operator overload doesn't work, but rather that you aren't using that operator overload in the first place. To solve that problem, you need to compare the pointed sets instead of the pointers. In order to get reference to the pointed set, you can to indirect through the pointer using the indirection operator.
Or even better, you could have used set variables in the first place. There appears to be no reason to use allocate the sets dynamically.

P.S. Avoid owning bare pointers. Your program leaks memory.

A: Use inheritance for Set instead of using a vector member in the class. If you are dynamically allocated the Sets, then clean up afterwards.
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>

class Set : public std::vector<int>
{};

int main()
{
    Set * pa = new Set; //If dynamic allocation is mandatory
    pa->push_back(3);

    Set * pb = new Set;
    pb->push_back(3);

    if (*pa == *pb) //Uses the inherited == operator from std::vector<int>
    {
        std::cout << "a=b" << std::endl;
    }
    else
    {
        std::cout << "a<>b" << std::endl;
    }

    delete pa; //Clean up!
    delete pb;
}

By	Ginninderry Project Team
The 'Women in Civil' program was delivered by Ginninderry's SPARK in partnership with Master Builders ACT. The ten-week program commenced in April and included seven units of a Certificate III in Civil Construction Plant Operations along with workshops on health and wellbeing and a four-week work placement.
Several major civil construction contractors in the ACT partnered with the program including Huon Contractors, Woden Contractors, Base Contractors and Guideline ACT with all nine women completing the program offered ongoing employment in the sector.
SPARK Program Manager Emma Sckrabei was recently named ACT Woman of the Year, in part for her role in opening up pathways for women to enter the construction sector. She says this program is a natural next step on that journey.
"The civil construction sector has been actively exploring ways to encourage more women to take up jobs within the industry and this program is the first step in making that happen"
"This is a genuine commitment from the sector with several major civil contractors in the ACT coming together to provide industry work placements for training participants, and ultimately ongoing roles the nine women who successfully completed the program".
Sckrabei says that these women will play a role in changing the face of the city given the civil construction sector's focus on large, game changing projects.
"Civil construction is an exciting part of the sector with interesting roles across the planning, design and creation of major infrastructure projects. I'm confident that the women who participated in our first program will see plenty of opportunities for a bright future"
Anisha Sachdeva, a Director with Huon Contractors and Deputy Chair of the Civil Contractors Federation of the ACT said, "we are all very committed to recruiting more women into the civil sector, and this program has allowed the candidates to see and hear firsthand from women already working in civil construction."
Jess Shute, Project Manager with Woden Contractors has always found the civil sector in Canberra to be a close knit, supportive and inclusive community. "Unfortunately, there are not many women working in Civil in the Canberra region and I don't understand why. All the women I speak to only have positive things to say and this program has been the boost we've needed to get more women involved."


grandma's cookie jar: 2017 Christmas Review & Early Giveaway - Yarn!
Typically I begin announcing my Yearly Christmas reviews - and giveaways - throughout the month of October, but this year I have one which I'm announcing today . . . and for which I'm holding the giveaway. It is for yarn! Yes, yarn, because if you - like me - plan to crochet or knit gifts for family members for Christmas, you need to get started now.
Each year I crochet a hat for my grandsons. Last year I crocheted the shark hats and the year before I crocheted a fun three-eyed alien with big noses and spots! Before that I made them one-eyed monster hats, minion hats and Perry the Platypus hats. It is a good thing - a very good thing - my grandsons are not shy as if they were they would never wear the hats I make them . . . pretty much everywhere they go wearing the hats I make them, people stop them and talk to them about their hats!
So, this year I'm making another fun hat for them . . . the bearded hat! Their dad has a real beard, so I thought the boys would enjoy having a hat with a beard! I found the pattern on pinterest - at this link.
I contacted Red Heart/Coats yarn and asked to review some of their yarn - they sent me a box full, so today I'm going to write about the yarn they sent and announce a giveaway as well!
Red Heart Evermore is a super bulky yarn from Red Heart available in nine new colors - they sent me Deep Water, Autumn, Marsh and Emerald Isle - all beautiful colors! Red Heart says; "Evermore is a roving style yarn which comes in a gorgeous array of painterly colors. Acrylic blended with a little wool make this yarn an excellent choice for apparel and accessories."
I agree! This yarn is so soft and crochets into a nice soft item. I'm using it for the hat portions of the pattern.
They also sent me Team Spirit Chunky yarn, which they describe as; "Support your favorite sports team with this super bulky soft acrylic. Great for fans of pro, college and university, as well as your local school or rec league team. This yarn has a fun two-color print effect which works up super-fast so you'll be cheering your team on in no time!"
I have a grandson who loves the color yellow, so I thought this would make a fun hat portion for him.
Then they sent me their loved yarn - Red Heart Soft Yarn - in Toast - yes, for the beards! Red Heart says; "Red Heart Soft is known for its extreme softness and beautiful drape. A special spinning process results in a silky feel to the yarn. A versatile worsted weight yarn, Soft is appropriate for all projects, from hats to throws, accessories to garments, and everything in between."
I want their "beards" to be soft and warm, so what yarn could possibly be better?
I'm happy to say they sent me enough to give away one skein of each color they sent to me! So, if you are over the age of 18 and live in the USA and would like to win this package of yarn, this giveaway is for you! This giveaway will be on September 13, 2017, please comment below to tell me what you will make if you win this box of yarn - I'm making beard hats!
In addition if you have followed on Google Friend Connect, followed by liking on facebook with the tab in the "Find us on Facebook" box ON THE BLOG or at this link (not just liking the post) and/or have followed grandma's cookie jar by email you will receive one entry for each of these which you have done. Plus, if you "share" this post, you'll receive another entry (please let me know if you share). This will help me be able to draw names from among people who would like to win one box with six skeins of yarn and it gives you several ways to enter the give-away! Thank you for reading grandma's cookie jar and for sharing it with the people you know!
I have a few plastic canvas projects in mind that i'd use it for.
I love to crochet! I love making blankets the best. I taught myself and have never learned how to make any clothing type patterns. Simple works best for me! I follow by email, have liked the FB page and have shared this! Thanks so much for your giveaways!
I'm almost done with a sweater I'm crocheting,I think I might make an infinity scarf or mittens for my girls or I might try a bearded hat for my son. That sounds fun.
well, as a Pittsburgh girl, I love black and gold so I will make a infinity scarf! Love yarn, this is a great giveaway and review!
I would give this to my friend and ask her to make me a hat. Thanks.
I love to make scarfs and they said it's going to be a freezing cold winter. So we need them!
I'm a newbie, and would love to make a few doll dresses for my nieces dill. Following on Facebook, gfc, and email subscriber.
I would make character hats with the yarn. I like doing minion hats, owl hats and other character hats. I follow you on Facebook, Google Friend Connect and receive your emails.
I have made the Minions hats (thanks for the pattern, my kids and their friends love the hats), and Prayer Shawls for my nieces. I'm always looking for something new to crochet or knit. I follow on Facebook and via email.

Creative problem solving process and tools are essential skills for facing challenges. Equipping students to solving problems independently is the goal of this workshop. Children will learn ways to work together to diverge and converge, develop their thinking skills to formulate challenges, explore ideas, formulate solutions and formulate a plan. This workshop shifts mindsets and may spark new thinking like you've never seen before!
The biggest challenge for educators is figuring out how to bring creativity into an already packed classroom schedule with content and material that need to be covered. Brilliantly, E. Paul Torrance developed a Creative Teaching and Learning model to develop creative thinking skills while teaching content. It's called the Torrance Incubation Model and you can learn more about it through our Online Workshop – Teaching Creativity in the Classroom > Coming soon!
What are all the ways to promote creativity in the classroom? This session will cover what creativity is and will dispel creativity myths. We will use Mel Rhode's 4 P's of creativity to accelerate our understanding of creativity and consider ways to apply our learning to the classroom setting. You will also learn about creative problem solving (process + tools) used to practice deliberate thinking skills and inspire you to think about ways you can promote creativity in your classroom!

The main point of the book Growing Up Creative, according to author Teresa Amabile is this: creativity is impossible without that inner spark. "As long as they have a spark, everyone can be creative." This classic and important book on nurturing creativity details what children's creativity is, and how you can recognize it, the basic components of children's creativity and stages of the creative process, the importance of motivation in creativity, how home and school environments can destroy children's creativity, and several specific techniques that parents and teachers can use to keep children's creativity alive.
Armstrong, T. (1991). Awakening your child's natural genius: Enhancing curiosity, creativity, and learning ability. Los Angeles: J. P. Tarcher.
Armstrong provides a solid resource and practical application guide for parents of children aged three through twelve who are interested in assisting their children in realizing their full potential as natural learners in life. Each chapter provides background information, expert opinion, research studies, and other materials to instruct parents about a core issue in the field of learning. A section within each chapter titled What Parents Can Do gives practical suggestions for implementing the ideas discussed. The goal of this book is to stimulate parents to become more involved in their children's education at school, and to motivate parents to regard the home as a learning place that is even more vital to their child's educational future than school. An excellent guide for both parents and teachers!
Bruce, T. (2004). Cultivating creativity in babies, toddlers and young children. London: Hodder & Stoughton.
This text used for programs in Early Childhood Studies is handbook for encouraging creativity in babies, toddlers and young children in any setting, including the home. Topics covered include understanding creativity and creative learning, creating an environment that cultivates creativity, cultivating creativity in toddlers and the role adults play in helping creative ideas flourish. The text is grounded Winnicott'a 1969 theory that suggests the highest forms of thinking begin in a social relationship; a relationship in which the baby and adult are together but allowing personal space in which the baby can discover how to be a creative, thinking, reflective person. The premise of this book is that in order to be creative we need to feel sufficiently emotionally safe to go on creative adventures of our own. According to Bruce, adults play a critical part in whether or not children become creative people and the first seven years are a crucial time in cultivating a child's creativity.

If you do your research online you'll quickly find out that Dr. Ranicki is imminently qualified to do great chiropractic work with children, with years of pediatric training and experience, he knows his stuff. I would like to add my own voice to this conversation – as a parent of three young children, I have experienced first-hand how "kid-friendly" the entire Ranicki Wellness organization is. Let's face it, modern parents are picky. When we enter an environment, our antenna is up to see if the environment is safe and clean for our children. Which is why one of the most frequent phrases out of my mouth when I'm travelling with my children and we make a bathroom stop is, "Don't touch anything." You know what I mean.
My family has been a part of the Ranicki Chiropractic family for almost three years, and the environment they have created is consistently flawless and perfect for children. The look and feel is incredible. It is always peaceful, inviting, and clean. You generally do not have to wait more than a couple minutes for an adjustment, but while you wait or while you are being adjusted, they have a huge shelf of wonderful books for children of all ages. There is a perfect little kid's table with puzzles that my children always gravitate towards. But, as you know, most children have an attention span of only a few minutes depending on their age, so next they wander over to the huge, beautiful aquarium which is always stocked with beautiful, colorful tropical fish. They even have this little wooden stool that every child I have ever seen in there climbs so he or she can see the fish up close. And I cannot reiterate enough, if I have a crawler (which I do), I have absolutely no concern about letting her crawl throughout the facility, because you can just tell it is completely clean and safe for her. It's rare that I feel that way in a public space.
But the "Kid-friendly" goes way beyond the environment. It is something Dr. Ranicki and his staff embody. They know how to greet and meet children on their level and make them feel special. He even has an adjustment table just for children that is a fire truck. My girls LOVE it! Whether you are a veteran to chiropractic care or are just considering it for the first time, you will be so thrilled at how your children will feel at ease when they get adjusted. I've shared elsewhere how effective the care we have received for our children has been at Ranicki Chiropractic, but I hope you'll also explore all the other wellness options for children that are available for your family. Whether you are experiences developmental milestone difficulties, troubles with emotions, or are potentially facing diagnoses along the autism spectrum, we have staff and programs that can be tailored to specifically meet your family's needs. When we say we are "kid friendly" we mean that, and we mean all kids. We have seen even the most difficult situations improve not just slightly but significantly. We hope you'll stop by for yourself and see how we can take your family to the next level of wellness and overall happiness in life!

This is just a kind of Discussion forum where user reply and it appears beneath message.
When user click on Reply button a ModalPopupExtender window pops up and user enter its reply and submit.
When I click on submit in popup data get saved in db but OnInit execute before ButtonClick, how to create new control and add in controls in this scenario.

Control Code ASPX

        <asp:Label ID="lblMessage" runat="server" Width="200px"></asp:Label>

        <asp:Button ID="btnReply" runat="server" Text="Reply" />

            <asp:ModalPopupExtender ID="mpeReply" runat="server" TargetControlID="btnReply" PopupControlID="pnlReply"
                BackgroundCssClass="ModalPopupBG1">
            </asp:ModalPopupExtender>
            <asp:Panel ID="pnlReply" runat="server">

                                <asp:TextBox ID="txtReply" runat="server" Width="400px" CssClass="input1" TextMode="MultiLine"
                                    ValidationGroup="ReplyPopup"></asp:TextBox>

                                <asp:Button ID="btnSubmit" runat="server" Text="Submit" ValidationGroup="ReplyPopup"
                                    OnClick="btnSubmit_Click" />
                                <asp:Button ID="btnClose" runat="server" Text="Cancel" CausesValidation="false" />

            </asp:Panel>

User control .cs (button click just save message into db)
protected void btnSubmit_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    message.Save();
}

Page .cs
protected void Page_Init(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    LoadControl();
}

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}

private void LoadControl()
{
    divMessageControl.Controls.Clear();

    MessageCollection msgs = MessageCollection.LoadAll();
    foreach (Message msg in msgs)
    {
        AddControlInPlaceHolder(msg);
    }
}

private void AddControlInPlaceHolder(Message msg)
{
    Control myUserControl = (Control)Page.LoadControl("~/Controls/MessageControl.ascx");

    Label lblMessage = myUserControl.FindControl("lblMessage") as Label;
    if (lblMessage != null)
    {
        lblMessage.Text = msg.MsgTxt;
    }

    divMessageControl.Controls.Add(myUserControl);
}

A: When you working with dynamically added controls you need to re-create in Page_Init handler all previously added controls. But for new control it's ok to add it just in postback control event handler. Try to call AddControlInPlaceHolder method right in btnSubmit click handler. If you need to have database message's id int that method, consider to update message id in Save method with new value.

A: We need to recreate the controls on page_load.
Complete Example:
public partial class _Default : Page
{
    public int n;
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (ViewState["Controls"] != null)
            n = (int)ViewState["Controls"];
        if (!Page.IsPostBack)
            n = 0;
        for (int i = 0; i <= n; i++)
        {
            TestUserControl uc = LoadControl("~/TestUserControl.ascx") as TestUserControl;
            uc.ID = "TestControl" + i.ToString();
            PlaceHolder1.Controls.Add(uc);
        }

    }

    protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        TestUserControl uc = LoadControl("~/TestUserControl.ascx") as TestUserControl;
        uc.ID = "TestControl" + n++.ToString();
        PlaceHolder1.Controls.Add(uc);
        ViewState["Controls"] = n;
    }
}


Sharp Cheddar, white Cheddar—whatever your type of Cheddar—America's favorite snack cheese was born in England…and perfected in Wisconsin.
America is a nation of immigrants—the great melting pot—and it stands to reason that our favorite cheese would come from somewhere else. No, our favorite is not the one that bears our name. "American cheese" (which can't even legally be called cheese in America unless the word "cheese" is bracketed by "process" and "food") is a meld of mystery ingredients that are a questionable reflection of the cheese it attempts to imitate: Cheddar.
No matter how you slice it, serving real Cheddar on your cheese tray or topping your favorite burgers is not only much tastier, it better reflects our country's rich heritage…and it is truly America's favorite.
Cheddar is a semi-hard natural cheese originating in the village of Cheddar, in the southwestern English county of Somerset. The caves of Cheddar Gorge provided the ideal conditions for aging the cheese to a satisfactory sharpness, and according to English tradition only cheese made within 30 miles of nearby Wells Cathedral could be called Cheddar.
Today Cheddar is made in several countries, most notably the United States. Nearly all the cheese produced in America prior to 1850 was Cheddar, due to the British colonial influence. Cheddar production in Wisconsin began in the mid-1800s—around the same time as Swiss cheese production began—and by the 1880s more Cheddar was made in Wisconsin than any other cheese variety. Today about a sixth of the U.S. Cheddar production—far more than that of any other state—comes from Wisconsin, which makes about as much Cheddar cheese as does the entire United Kingdom. And it's no cheap imitation of the "real" Cheddar, either; Wisconsin makes truly world-class Cheddars that have won Best of Class in world competitions…even beating the hometown favorites.
All in all, Cheddar is the most popular cheese in America except for mozzarella, and that's only because of Americans' insatiable appetite for pizza. Come to think of it, a little Cheddar mixed in with that shredded mozzarella is many a pizzeria's secret for adding a burst of color and a deeper, richer flavor to the top of a pie.
There are several types of Cheddar cheese made in America: mild, medium, sharp and extra-sharp (depending on age), white Cheddar, and the regional styles made in New York and Vermont.
All Cheddar begins as milk, as does all cheese. When an enzyme complex known as rennet is added, the solid portion of the milk (curd) is separated from the liquid portion (whey). These fresh cheese curds are not only delicious as they are; they are the foundation for most of the world's cheese. But what makes the cheese Cheddar is a process called—wait for it—cheddaring. In this process, the curd is heated, kneaded with salt, cut into cubes to drain the whey, and then stacked for aging. This is white Cheddar, and is the style favored in Vermont.
The Cheddar most Americans know and love is actually colored prior to cheddaring with annatto, an odorless vegetable dye from the seed of the annatto plant. This seed, also known as achiote, lends a very subtle nutty flavor and intense reddish/orange color to foods in Latin America and the Caribbean. While some claim annatto adds a nuttier character to Cheddar cheese, it's not really used in enough concentration to add much flavor, if any. The real flavor difference in Cheddar comes from aging.
As Cheddar ages—whether in the caves of Cheddar Gorge or humidity-and-temperature-controlled rooms in Wisconsin—its rich, mellow flavor becomes increasingly sharp and complex. Its firm, smooth texture also changes, too, becoming more granular and crumbly…and as the flavor sharpens with age, so does the price.
Sharp Cheddar has generally been aged for six to nine months, but "sharp" is a relative term and there are no regulations governing the term. Extra-sharp or "vintage" Cheddar is typically aged at least 15 months…but two-year and four-year Cheddars are common in Wisconsin, and the true Cheddar fanatic can find treasures like eight-year, ten-year…even 14-year Cheddar. At this age, the cheese can no longer be sliced neatly; it flakes off into irregular shards with an intensely piquant taste accented with little crystals of naturally occurring calcium lactate that add a delicately salty crunch. This is not the type of Cheddar one layers thickly on a grilled cheese sandwich or stirs into a mac and cheese casserole; it is savored slowly with a glass of fine wine or a craft beer, and treated with the respect that goes along with its substantial price. But the good news is that a perfectly sharp and delectable Cheddar with similar—if not as intense—qualities can be found at non-collector prices to be enjoyed by cheese lovers of fine taste and average means. And you won't feel guilty about using it in your macaroni or grilled cheese.
As mentioned earlier, a little bit of Cheddar adds character to the shredded mozzarella atop a pizza…but there's so much more you can do with it. Add Cheddar—especially the aged stuff—to enhance cream-based soups or sauces for steamed vegetables and baked dishes. Cheddar-broccoli soup is a favorite, and it's pretty hard to imagine a better choice than Cheddar for a traditional grilled cheese sandwich, shredded on a baked potato or melted over a burger. And what better way to use America's favorite snack cheese than to pair it with another American classic: apple pie! This may sound funny to some, but Cheddar and apples go together beautifully. Just serve a thick slice of sharp Cheddar (or mild, if you prefer) with a nice warm slice of apple pie, or really get creative and add shredded Cheddar to the crust. But the best use of Cheddar, to a true fan, is to just serve it au naturel with the right wine or beer.
Cheddar is better with a fruit-forward red wine like zinfandel, syrah or merlot, or a crisp white like pinot grigio/pinot gris, sauvignon blanc or riesling.
The rich, creamy flavor of Cheddar stands up well against a dark, toasty porter or stout, or a hoppy pale ale. Or continue the apple pie theme and serve it with a cider or fruit beer.
Serve Cheddar as a cheese course (after the main course, before or in place of dessert) with a brandy or Madeira.
Apples, or course…plus pears, onions, tomatoes, dried fruits, nuts, and a wide variety of sausages and crackers.
…but before you put that shopping list together, make sure you put a premium Cheddar cheese from WisconsinCheeseman.com at the top.

Barack Obama and the economy
The woes of the average Joe
America is getting richer, but most voters can't feel it
BARACK OBAMA'S strenuous efforts to avoid being a war president have failed. But voters care more about the economy than the Middle East, and here Mr Obama has a good story to tell. The headline numbers are impressive: both output and employment have passed their pre-recession peaks and the unemployment rate, at 6.1%, has fallen far enough to inspire the Federal Reserve to debate, openly, when to raise interest rates. Though the latest jobs report was disappointing, private payrolls have grown by 10m in the past four and a half years, the longest uninterrupted streak in history.
Yet for all the upbeat economic news, Mr Obama has yet to reap any political reward. His approval rating, at 43%, is stubbornly low. Just 39% of voters approve of his handling of the economy, according to YouGov; 56% disapprove. Remarkably, they now trust Republicans more than Democrats to manage the economy.
Voters give Mr Obama little credit for America getting richer because, by and large, they haven't felt it. Not only is the recovery subdued by historical standards, but widening inequality means that the median household (in the middle of the income range) is doing far worse than the mean (total income divided by the number of households).
Ken Hodges of Murfreesboro, Tennessee, thinks Mr Obama wasted money bailing out banks and carmakers, "but it hasn't helped the working-class people at all." Mr Hodges used to build guitars for a living but the business went downhill after the financial crisis, as did his investments. He now sells barbecue lunches out of a food truck in Nashville and, between the cost of meat, fuel and the thousands of dollars he spends on permits, reckons he makes 20% less than he did in 2007. "I'm slowly but surely going broke, though I'm working like a madman," he says.
Inequality actually began to widen in the early 1980s. But, for two decades, overall growth was still healthy enough to lift the median household. During Ronald Reagan's first six years in office, GDP grew 22% while the median income grew 6% (see chart 1). During Bill Clinton's first six years, GDP grew 24%; median income, 11%. But growth began to slow in the 2000s, undermining both the mean and the median. In George Bush's first six years GDP rose 16%, but median incomes fell 2%. Under Mr Obama it has been even worse: GDP is up 8% and median income is down 4%, according to the Census Bureau and Sentier Research, a private outfit.
Though median income performed almost as badly under Mr Bush as Mr Obama, there was an important difference. During the first part of the 2000s consumers could borrow easily, thanks to rising property prices. Between 2001 and 2007 the median household's real net worth rose 19%, to $135,400. The collapse of the housing bubble sent it plunging. By 2013 it was $81,200, less than in 1989. In contrast, the mean net worth of American households has increased by 60% since 1989, to $534,600, thanks to the soaring fortunes of those at the top (see chart 2).
Efforts by the Fed to support the economy have bolstered stock and house prices, but the benefits have bypassed many households. Just 65% owned their own home in 2013, compared with 69% in 2007. Fewer owned shares or mutual funds outside retirement accounts. Even the impressive decline in unemployment has partly come about because many people have given up looking for work, and so are not counted as unemployed. In previous recoveries the labour-force-participation rate rose even as unemployment fell; this time, it has fallen (see chart 3).
Voters tend to blame the president for bad times and give him credit for good ones, regardless of the real cause. Thus presidential approval ratings depend a lot on median household income (see chart 1, again). Mr Obama is not on the ballot in November, but history suggests that voters will vent their frustrations on his party, as they did on Republicans in 2006, when George W. Bush's approval rating was even worse than Mr Obama's is now.
The economy and presidential popularity are not everything, of course. Ronald Reagan's approval rating was over 60% in 1986, but Republicans still lost control of the Senate, thanks to the quirks of the electoral calendar. Senators serve six-year terms; every two years, a third of them stand for election. Many Republican novices won Senate races in Democratic states in the Reagan landslide of 1980; six years later, few could hold onto their seats.
Action chart: American unemployment and labour force participation
Mr Obama has the worst of both worlds. Not only are voters feeling glum; Democrats are also fighting to hold on to several Senate seats in Republican states, such as Arkansas (see article). It is not that voters love Republicans, says Jim Kessler of Third Way, a Democratic think-tank. Rather, this year could see "an anti-incumbent wave, and Democrats happen to have more beach-front property".
Charlie Cook, an elections analyst, thinks the Senate could flip back and forth over the next four years, with neither party securing the 60 seats (out of 100) needed to pass big laws without help from the other side. Disgusted voters may be open to radical alternatives. Mr Hodges, the Tennessee food-truck operator, despises Democrats and most Republicans, but would vote for Ted Cruz, a Texan Tea Party populist, if he could. Mr Cook recently advised some bankers to hope that Democrats nominate Hillary Clinton for president in 2016, because the alternative is Elizabeth Warren, a banker-bashing Massachusetts senator. "The energy and passion of the Democratic Party is a heck of a lot further to the left than Hillary," says Mr Cook.
On the stump, Mr Obama offers morsels of economic populism aimed at the Democratic base: a higher minimum wage, debt relief for students and a law that will make unequal pay for women even more illegal than it has been since 1963. Also, on September 22nd, the White House announced rules to stop companies from moving their headquarters abroad to avoid taxes. Such policies could marginally reduce inequality, but they do nothing to boost underlying growth.
A better bet would be free trade, tax reform, more money for infrastructure and training and an overhaul of entitlements such as disability insurance. Many of the jobless end up drawing disability benefits and never return to work, another reason labour-force participation has fallen.
Even if Congress were to co-operate, such policies would take years to bear fruit. But surveys by Global Strategy Group, a Democratic consultancy, found that voters prefer a candidate who promises higher growth to one who promises to reduce inequality. Alas, neither party has plausible plans for that.

You are not necessarily what you eat, you are what you absorb. If you don't digest your food well, then you are not fully absorbing the nutrients from your meal. Plus, poor digestion can lead to some problems, such as: bloating, gas, upset stomach. Of course this applies to anything that you drink as well, especially nutrient dense smoothies. Despite little to chew, I still try to "chew" each sip for several seconds. Among my many favourite smoothies, I am particularly fond of the Blueberry Coconut smoothie with kale, chia and banana. It's dense, delicious and darn good for you! Happy chewing!
Blueberries – This little berry has the most amounts of antioxidants of any fruit. They contain anthocyanin, vitamin C, B complex, vitamin E, vitamin A, copper (a very effective immune builder and anti-bacterial), selenium, zinc, and iron.
Banana – Contains Vitamin C, fibre, and a significant amount of potassium. High potassium intakes are also associated with a reduced risk of stroke, protection against loss of muscle mass, preservation of bone mineral density and reduction in the formation of kidney stones.
Coconut –Particularly high in fibre (one Tablespoon of coconut flour has 5 gm of fibre), coconut is antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, antiparasitic and contains lauric acid which is found in mother's milk.
Chia – It is packed with fibre, so it stabilizes blood sugar and helps you to feel full; hence, cutting cravings. It is also high in Omega 3 fatty acids, protein and a wide range of vitamins and minerals ie. calcium and iron. It is a nutrient dense powerhouse. I like to sprinkle some onto my yogurt, and at times noodle soup, to bump up the nutrient content.
Kale – High amounts of calcium and vitamin K. Contains Indole-3-carbinol (IC3), which promotes a healthy balance of good estrogen, it also has an anti-tumour effect. IC3 also supports liver detoxification.

Former CNN Digital Chief Andrew Morse Named Publisher of Atlanta Journal-Constitution
From a New York Times story by Benjamin Mullin headlined "Former CNN Digital Chief Named Publisher of Atlanta Journal-Constitution":
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution announced on Wednesday that Andrew Morse, an architect of the shuttered CNN+ streaming service, would be its new president and publisher.
Mr. Morse, a longtime digital news executive whose career has included stops at Bloomberg Media and ABC News, will start on Monday.
"As the largest newspaper in the South, we've got an active audience in a part of the country that is at the center of a lot of important stories," Mr. Morse said. "I think we have the ability to be an essential source of news not just for Atlanta but for the South."
Mr. Morse, 48, joins The Atlanta Journal-Constitution amid a crisis in local news. More than 2,500 newspapers across the United States have closed over the last two decades, as revenue from print advertising dwindles, leaving one-fifth of Americans with limited access to local news.
Mr. Morse said the challenge of helping address the problems facing the local news industry had attracted him to the job. He said there was a formula for building a successful local news business that included a mix of advertising, digital subscriptions, events, e-commerce and news formats like email newsletters.
"To take a great brand in a dynamic city and run a playbook that I believe can figure out a problem that's important for society, you couldn't ask for a better scenario," Mr. Morse said.
He succeeds Donna Hall, who retired as publisher last year after spending more than three decades at Cox Enterprises, owner of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. During her tenure, Ms. Hall focused on increasing the newspaper's digital subscription and live events businesses.
Cox Enterprises, a family-owned company that generates most of its revenue from its cable and broadband businesses, has owned The Atlanta Journal-Constitution for more than eight decades. The company does not report financials for The Atlanta Journal-Constitution or The Dayton Daily News, which it also owns.
Mr. Morse said he planned to work with Axios, which Cox Enterprises acquired last year for $525 million, to expand the company's business. Axios, known for its bullet-pointed "smart brevity" approach to news, has newsletters in Atlanta, Dallas, Denver, San Francisco and other cities.
At CNN, Mr. Morse greatly expanded the company's digital operation. He was also heavily involved in the development of CNN+, a news streaming service. But the service, which CNN spent hundreds of millions of dollars on, was abruptly shut down by a new corporate owner, Warner Bros. Discovery, just weeks after it launched.
Mr. Morse said he remained bullish on the potential of digital subscriber businesses, citing the success of organizations including The New York Times.
"If you deliver world-class journalism and world-class content that is essential and engaging to an audience, they will subscribe and they will pay you money," Mr. Morse said.
