The Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) is a federal police organisation in India under the authority of the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) of the Government of India. It is one among the Central Armed Police Forces. The CRPF's primary role lies in assisting the State/Union Territories in police operations to maintain law and order and counter-insurgency. It is composed of Central Reserve Police Force (Regular) and Central Reserve Police Force (Auxiliary).

It came into existence as the Crown Representative's Police on 27 July 1939. After Indian independence, it became the Central Reserve Police Force on enactment of the CRPF Act on 28 December 1949. Besides law and order and counter-insurgency duties, the CRPF has played an increasingly large role in India's general elections. This is especially true for the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir, Bihar and in the North East, with the presence of unrest and often violent conflict. During the Parliamentary elections of September 1999, the CRPF played a major role in the security arrangements. Of late, CRPF contingents are also being deployed in UN missions.

With 246 battalions and various other establishments, the CRPF is considered India's largest central armed police force and has a sanctioned strength of more than 300,000 personnel as of 2019.

Mission
The mission of the Central Reserve Police Force shall be to enable the government to maintain Rule of Law, Public Order and Internal Security effectively and efficiently to preserve National Integrity & Promote Social Harmony and Development by upholding supremacy of the Constitution.

In performing these tasks with utmost regard for human dignity and freedom of the citizens of India, the force shall endeavor to achieve excellence in management of internal security and national calamities by placing Service and Loyalty above self.

History

 The CRPF was derived from the CRP (Crown Representative's Police) on 27 July 1939 with 2 battalions in Nimach [Means North Indian Mounted Artillery and Cavalry Headquarter], Madhya Pradesh. Its primary duty at the time was to protect the British residents in sensitive states of India.
 In 1949, the CRP was renamed under the CRPF Act. During the 1960s, many state reserve police battalions were merged with the CRPF. The CRPF has been active against foreign invasion and domestic insurgency.
 On 21 October 1959, SI Karam Singh and 20 soldiers were attacked by the Chinese Army at Hot Springs in Ladakh resulting in 10 casualties. The survivors were imprisoned. Since then, 21 October is observed as Police Commemoration day nationwide, across all states in India.
 On intervening night of 8 and 9 April 1965, 3500 men of 51st Infantry Brigade of Pakistan, comprising 18 Punjab Bn, 8 Frontier Rifles and 6 Baluch Bn, stealthily launched operation "Desert Hawk" against border posts in Rann of Kutch. It was to the valour of Head Constable Bhawana Ram deployed on the eastern parameter of Sardar Post whose gallant act was to a great extent instrumental in demoralizing the intruders and forcing them to retreat from the post.
There are few parallels of such a battle and the then Union Home Minister very appropriately graded it as a "Military Battle" not a Police battle. The service and their sacrifice will now not need turning back to old records for appreciation with that historic moment being picked up for celebration as "Valour Day" of the Force after Year.

 The CRPF guarded the India-Pakistan Border until 1965, at which point the Border Security Force was created for that purpose.
 On 2001 Indian Parliament attack the CRPF troopers killed all five terrorists who had entered the premises of the Indian Parliament in New Delhi.
 When 5 armed terrorists tried to storm the Ram Janambhoomi Complex in Ayodhya on 5 July 2005 and had penetrated the outer security rings, they were challenged by CRPF which formed the inner security ring. Shri Vijeto Tinyi, AC and Shri Dharambir Singh, Head Constable, who exhibited exemplary gallant were awarded with 'Shaurya Chakra'.
 In recent years, the Government of India has decided to follow up on recommendations of the Indian cabinet to use each security agency for its mandated purpose. As a result, the counter-insurgency operations in India have been entrusted to the CRPF.
 In 2008 a wing called Commando Battalion for Resolute Action (CoBRA) was added to the CRPF to counter the Naxalite movement.
 On 2 September 2009, 5000 CRPF soldiers were deployed for a search and rescue mission to find the then Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy whose helicopter went missing over the Nallamalla Forest Range in Andhra Pradesh. This was the largest search operation ever mounted in India.

The Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) is the premier central police force of the Union of India for internal security. Originally constituted as the Crown Representative Police in 1939, it is one of the oldest Central para military forces (now termed as Central Armed Police Force). CRPF was raised as a sequel to the political unrest and the agitations in the then princely States of India following the Madras Resolution of the All-India Congress Committee in 1936 and the ever-growing desire of the Crown Representative to help the vast majority of the native States to preserve law and order as a part of the imperial policy.

After Independence, the force was renamed as Central Reserve Police Force by an Act of Parliament on 28 December 1949. This Act constituted CRPF as an armed force of the Union. Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, the then Home Minister, visualised a multi-dimensional role for it in tune with the changing needs of a newly independent nation.

During the early 1950s, the performance of the CRPF detachments in Bhuj, the then Patiala and East Punjab state Union (PEPSU)Patiala and East Punjab States Union and Chambal ravines was appreciated by all quarters. The force played a significant role during the amalgamation of the princely States into the Indian Union. It helped the Union Government in disciplining the rebellious princely States of Junagarh and the small principality of Kathiawar in Gujarat which had declined to join the Indian Union.

Soon after Independence, contingents of the CRPF were sent on Kutch, Rajasthan and Sindh borders to check infiltration and trans-border crimes. They were, subsequently, deployed on the Pakistan border in Jammu and Kashmir following attacks launched by the Pakistani infiltrators. The CRPF bore the brunt of the first Chinese attack on India at Hot Springs (Ladakh) on 21 October 1959. A small CRPF patrol was ambushed by the Chinese in which ten of its men made their supreme sacrifice for the country. Their martyrdom on 21 October is remembered throughout the country as the Police Commemoration Day every year.

During the Sino-Indian War of 1962, the Force once again assisted the Indian Army in Arunachal Pradesh. Eight CRPF personnel were killed in action. In 1965 and 1971 Indo-Pak wars also the Force fought shoulder-to-shoulder with the Indian Army, both on the Western and Eastern borders.

For the first time in the history of para-military Forces in India, thirteen companies of CRPF including a detachment of women were airlifted to join the Indian Peace Keeping Force in Sri Lanka to fight the militant caders. Besides, CRPF personnel were also sent to Haiti, Namibia, Somalia and Maldives to deal with law and order situation there, as a part of the UN Peace Keeping Force.

In the late seventies, when the extremist elements disturbed peace in Tripura and Manipur, CRPF battalions were deployed in strength. Simultaneously, there was a turmoil in the Brahmaputra Valley. The CRPF had to be inducted in strength not only to maintain law and order but also to keep lines of communication free from disruption. The commitments of the Force continue to be very high in the North-East in dealing with the insurgency.

Operations

Sri Lanka Mission
The role of the CRPF and its services rendered have extended beyond the nation's borders as well. The services rendered by the CRPF in Sri Lanka as part of IPKF, as part of the UN Peace Keeping Force in Namibia, Somalia, Haiti, Maldives and also in Bosnia speaks volumes about the ability, agility, versatility and dependability of the Force to adapt to any conflict-situation round the globe. Presently a contingent of 240 personnel of RAF are deployed in KOSOVO as UN Mission in Kosovo is to provide protection and security to the UN officials/UN civil police/ Crowd control etc. RAF coys will also assist local Police to control /mob during violent demonstration, humanitarian and to assist the activities of the ICTY.

Background
Haiti was under the commandment of National Council of Government in 1986 under Jean Claude Duvalier. The country went through a series of political instability moving from one military Government to other from 1986 to 1991. The country experienced 4 military coup. In 1991 military government was replaced by a young priest Jean Bertrand Aristide who took over as president after election in November 1990, he was overthrown after 7 months in Sept 1991 by General Cadres. The Priest Jean Bertrand Aristide took asylum in USA with U.S troops who prepared to enter Haiti under orders from President Bill Clinton of USA. The Wind was favourable for the return of Aristide to power by holding elections in Haiti in Oct 1994.

A contingent of 120 male personnel selected from CRPF and RAF Units was formed up, trained and equipped for duties at 103 RAF in Delhi and they were sent to Haiti on 31 March'94. This contingent, then called as Company, worked in Haiti for various duties during elections as a part of US Army contingent forming 504 Military Police Battalion (Dragon Fighters) under UN Mission in HAITI (UNMIH).

Duties performed
The duties performed by the contingent included mobile patrolling, saturation patrolling, manning and guarding of Police Stations and the National Prison, combined mounted/dismounted patrols, Prison monitor teams and security escorts. They also trained the prisoners. All such duties were conducted as a special arrangement for peaceful conduct of Presidential elections in Haiti.

Shri R.S.H.S Sahota then Commandant, was the Contingent Commander. In recognition of the contingent's excellent performance in Haiti, the contingent was awarded on U.S. Army Commendation Medal, 5 US Army Achievement Medals, 80 appreciation coins and UN Medal to all 120 personnel. After successful completion of the assigned task, this contingent was de-inducted from Haiti during November 1995.

Operation Lalgarh
Lalgarh was severely affected by the Naxalites in the late 2000s and early 2010s. To solve this menace, WB government requested the deployment of the CRPF and it's newly raised CoBRA battalions. The operation ended after the encounter of Kishenji, who was the root of the rebellion.

Liberia Mission
On a special request from United Nations and direction of Govt. of India/Ministry of Home Affairs, a fully formed Female Police Unit (FFPU) was formed up with Mahila CRPF personnel which was further deployed in Liberia during Feb 2007, as part of an UN peacekeeping force in the strife-torn African nation.

Out of the 23 nations deployed there, only India has the privilege of having an exclusive women's team there, and it was the first exclusive female team of police which was pressed into action in any UN peacekeeping force.

This deployment is still on as part of the UN mission however is now supplemented by a male Contingent also. Tenure of each contingent is for one year. At present, 8th Batch of Female contingents and 5th Batch of Male contingents have been deployed in Liberia.

Operations in Kashmir
CRPF is deployed in Jammu and Kashmir for various reasons. Their duty includes performing CASOs, SADOs, ROPs, providing security to both vital installations and highways, etc. In fact, their way of operating even surpasses the RR of the army operating there.

The U.S. Soccer association announced that Korea will play the U.S. soccer team in a friendly exhibition match. The game is expected to be held at the StubHub Center in Carson, California. The U.S. team is managed by former German striker Jurgen Klinsmann. The team managed to secure its position in for the 2014 World Cup by finishing first in the North, Central America, and Caribbean qualifying zone. The U.S. team is ranked No. 14 by FIFA.
This will be the first time the two countries have played since their group stage match at the 2002 World Cup, which ended in a 1-1 draw. In their last six encounters, Korea has won three games, drawn twice and lost once. Korea will spend time training in Brazil and the U.S. next month, during which time it will play at least two other friendlies, including one with Mexico in late January.
"It will be a good chance for Korean players to test their skills against the U.S., which has a good balance of physical strength and individual skills," said manager Hong Myung-bo.

Q: Conversion from double to integer I am stuck in problem where the double number is not getting properly converted to integer.
In this case->
int x=1000;

double cuberoot=pow(x,(1/(double)3));

int a=cuberoot;

cout<<"cuberoot="<<cuberoot<<endl;

cout<<"a="<<a<<endl;

Output:
cuberoot=10
a=9

Why here a=9 and not 10?
Any solution to this problem??
Also I don't want to round the value..if a=3.67 then it should be converted to 3 only
 and not 4.

A: Because the cuberoot is very close to 10 but not quite 10. std::cout truncates and rounds the number to 10, but a double to integer conversion will strip the decimal which is why a = 9. To solve this problem, you can use std::round():
int a=round(cuberoot);

A: Try this and see why!
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <cmath>

using namespace std;

int main(){
    int x = 1000;
    double cube = pow(x, 1.0/3.0);
    int a = cube;
    cout<<"cube="<< fixed << setprecision(16) << cube<<endl;
    cout<<"a="<<a<<endl;

With a list of impossibly flavoursome bands and addictively thrilling releases on a CV longer than the list of excuses for Luis Suarez's recent mid-match snack, the ubiquitous veteran rocker Sir Bald Diddley (aka Hipbone Slim) brings one of those stirring incitements out to play with a brand new album. The Indestructible Sounds Of The… is the new feverishly fleshed, raw breathed proposition from The Kneejerk Reactions, a release which casts out a rampant revelry of feet inducing garage bred rock 'n' roll aligned to a passion sparking sixties beat tempting. It is a flame of vintage sounds in the fresh distinctive framing of modern devilry amidst the unique creative juices of Sir Bald. Across its energetic and insatiably gleeful presence, essences of inspirations such as The Pretty Things, The Kinks, The Downliners Sect, Them, The Yardbirds, Bo Diddley, Chuck Berry, Link Wray, Howlin' Wolf, Jimmy Reed, The Sonics, and many more tease and openly spice up the party but only to add additional rich colour to the magnetic tapestry flirting with the imagination and emotions. The album is a stirring and unapologetically contagious provocateur which leaves appetite and feet wanting only more.
The Dirty Water Records released The Indestructible Sounds Of The… is the successor to The Electrifying Sound Of … which came out in 2008, though between albums there was the band's contribution on a 2013compilation of tracks and bands Sir Bald has treated ears with which went under Sir Bald's Battle Of The Bands. The new album which has really been too long in the coming, also brings Bruce Brand on rhythmic enticement, the drummer as keen a collector of bands as Sir Bald with the likes of Billy Childish, Hipbone Slim And The Knee Tremblers, Thee Headcoats, Thee Mighty Caesars, and Thee Milkshakes in his ever increasing résumé. His presence ensures a healthy bait of beats are in store which the opening Houdini easily proves.
The song instantly lures in ears with a delicious bass groove within a sway of Farfisa organ bred expression and a rhythmic pull as potent as the dark tones of the first key protagonist. The heroic call of the bass persists across the whole body of the song, providing one of those irresistible lures which allows guitars and keys to dance with unbridled frivolity through locked in ears. The vocals equally revel in the knowledge that the listener is caught by that prime hook, their raw and keen expression adding to the evolving wash of sound and enterprise wrapping that irresistible spine. It is a thrilling start to the festivities, one which the following I Want You To Love Me makes a keen attempt to emulate, though without quite matching its success. A pungent Stones breath adds wantonness to the restrained stroll of the song, a controlled walk guided by commanding beats and coloured by sizzling flourishes of guitar invention and organ crafted sultry hues for a vibrantly pleasing encounter.
Both It's a Jungle Out There and Mover and a Shaker keep the temperature and fun high if again without finding the same spark as the first incitement. The first of the two sways in with a mix of surf and psychedelic smouldering which soon incites another infectious rhythmic shuffle and vocal glee as the track expands its warm and energetic charms. Again the guitar solo ignites an extra spark of satisfaction, whilst the song itself has feet and emotions up on their toes ready for its successor, a track which entices with a blues rock fever to its prowling temptation. With a growl to the vocals and salaciousness to the keys, the song is an insatiable romance for the ears, though soon looking a little pale against the outstanding Batgirl, I Love You. A spice of The Troggs offers its suggestiveness as the song opens with jangly scythes of guitar and punchy beats lorded over by great vocal tempting from Sir Bald and the band. The song is a romp which does not lose its control but still exhausts with an unrelenting dramatic seducing of limbs and appetite.
If I Had My Way brings its own keen accepted stomp next, beats and guitars a net of enthralling beckoning which the keys paint with evocative expression as vocals croon with anthemic glee. It is a deliciously swinging provocateur swiftly equalled by Give in to Temptation, another song where initial beats and bass seduction set up thoughts and passions for a riveting ride. There is an earthiness to the song, especially on its rhythmic side, which grips attention, a shadowed moodiness which superbly tempers the heated glaze of organ and flames of guitar. Though taking longer than other songs to convince, given time the track makes a just undeniably convincing declaration.
The pair of Pounding and Out of Reach offer rigorously enjoyable propositions but neither find the hooks or teasing to make a lingering success. The first is an acidic shimmering of keys over a rugged terrain of beats and guitar stabs whilst the second is a coarsely surfaced and snarling slice of satisfying rock 'n' roll. It again is missing something but as its predecessor still brings a broad smile to the lips and pleasure to the emotions. Between them though the instrumental Volatile lies mischievously, a wicked blaze of surf seeded humid sonic seduction gifted to ears. The guitars glisten with creative and expressive sweat whilst the keys glow with tropical elegance, their union a sticky tempting to which the chilled prowling of the bass and the inescapable call of Brand's beats add an anthemic virulence.
The two closing tracks keep it all flying high with maybe less steamy but just as potent energy and contagion. Out of Here comes first, an instantly firmly treading stomp with a keen and pleasing if not overwhelming entrance. It is nevertheless an easy offer to fully embrace, even more so with the persuasive vocals but it is when the song hits its chorus that it transforms into a major pinnacle of the album. It is not a demanding or particularly unique moment but boy its epidemic catchiness is pure aural addiction. The song is a trigger to ignite any bland party or tepid day, an unrelenting tempter to ignite any unrewarding emotion. It is followed by the spicy heat of Habenero, a caustically coloured fire of melodic taunting and rhythmic coaxing within another hard to resist anthem of intent and body provoking devilry, the perfect ending to a festival of fevered sound.
The Indestructible Sounds of . . . is without doubt a real treat, maybe not the most corruptive temptress Sir Bald has uncaged but with so many great and varied releases and endeavours around him favourites and personal tastes dictate which finds a bigger or lesser success. It is a thoroughly enjoyable encounter for body and soul though and The Kneejerk Reactions a band no one should be slow in checking out.
The Indestructible Sounds of . . . is available now @ http://www.dirtywaterrecords.co.uk/store-2/#!/~/category/id=10017015&offset=0&sort=addedTimeDesc on 12" vinyl and download.
Since forming in 2012, British rock band Sisteray has been building a rather potent fan base and appreciation through their live performances and releases, an eagerly followed presence which their new EP She Likes The Drama gives plenty of evidence to the reason why. The four track release is an engaging proposition which from making an initially decent if unsure persuasion emerges as a magnetically appealing enjoyment. It is fair to say the EP does not quite reach in to ignite a flame in these particular passions but from the sure satisfaction definitely found you can easily see that it will be a different proposition for a great many others.
Hailing from London and consisting of Niall Rowan (lead vocals/rhythm guitar), the Connolly brothers Daniel (lead guitar/vocals) and Ryan (drums), and Michael Hanrahan (bass), Sisteray take influences from the likes of The Kinks, The Beatles and The Who but equally from 70's Mod Revival bands such as The Jam and Blues bands such as Dr. Feelgood, The Yardbirds, and The Rolling Stones. Those spices are open in the Sisteray sound as are also inspirations from more recent bands like The Stone Roses, The Arctic Monkeys, and Oasis. It is a striking mix which despite that rich soak of inciting flavours, does find a voice distinct to Sisteray as loudly evident on She Likes The Drama.
The title track kicks things off, a single guitar tempting luring in attention and imagination before being joined by a nice dark bassline and melodically sculpted riff strokes. It is a clean and precise persuasion of sixties blues kissed rock 'n' roll with a seventies garage rock breath and nineties indie endeavour. The song never explodes into the fire it hints at, especially around the chorus, but it is as infectious and compelling as you could wish for and undeniably makes a pleasing impact. The vocals of Rowan like the song are expressive with a strong buoyant tone whilst the prime hook of the song is irresistibly potent and with the other enticing elements of the song it all adds up to make the track an increasingly enticing offering over time.
The following Rollin' Over also offers a highly coaxing entrance into the song, a lone throaty and slowly parading bassline beckoning ears before the subsequent flame of melodic guitars and crisp rhythms joins the tempting. There is a stronger blues aroma to the song right away which the group vocals around the chorus accentuate into a quite inflammatory suasion. Again the band never erupts into the assumed and hoped to come unleashing of anthemic energy within the track, which does disappoint slightly, but there is plenty in the swagger and voice of the song to draw in appetite for and enjoyment in the encounter.
I'm Free emerges on a fuzz ball of sonic intrigue increasing further the blues fire which smoulders and burns in each song, whilst a certain Oasis bred croon equally impacts on the ears. Not as tantalising and ultimately impressing as the other songs, it still captures the imagination especially with the constant almost brawling blaze of sonic scowling which cores the musical narrative. Providing the heaviest rock 'n' roll moment of She Likes The Drama, the track keeps momentum and strength of the release strong and engaging before making way for the closing Coming Up.
The song ensures the release ends on the same high as it started, actually an even greater success with the track the best on the EP. It takes a mere second before the irresistible hook of the song steals the imagination, its call switching with a more sobering but inviting swipe of riffs. Into its stride the song is soon urging feet and emotions to partake in its revelry, its presence a mix of the mod power pop of Purple Hearts, the raw punk simplicity of The Fall, and the addictive nature of Arctic Monkeys. It is a masterful and wholly contagious thrill which alone confirms that Sisteray is definitely a choice emerging force in UK rock.
As previously stated She Likes The Drama fails to spark up the strongest emotions in our personal reactions, well until the excellent final song anyway, but it is impossible not to hear the potential and already toxic strengths of the band which has captured so many hearts already, with plenty more to follow you can only suspect. A release if any of the previously mentioned comparisons take your fancy, to give a big slice of attention to.
Following up his acclaimed 2009 album, Two-Man Blues Army, blues guitarist Gwyn Ashton returns with new release Radiogram, a ten track feast of thrilling and sizzling guitar passion. With drummer Kev Hickman alongside, Ashton had created an album which shows why he is so highly rated by the likes of Robert Plant, Johnny Winter, and Don Airey. Radiogram is a vibrant slice of blues driven rock n roll, a collection of songs which burst through the ear with enterprise, invention, and mesmerising skill.
Welsh born and an Australian resident since the mid sixties to the nineties, the now European based Ashton has drawn great and eager responses to his music and play since picking up the guitar at age 12 and playing in his first band when 16. Across the past couple of decades he has toured with the likes of BB King, Ray Charles, Buddy Guy, Mick Taylor, Rory Gallagher, Peter Green, Junior Wells, Johnny Winter, Canned Heat, Robin Trower, Jeff Healey, The Yardbirds, Status Quo, and Magnum, whilst recorded with such luminaries as Kim Wilson (Fabulous Thunderbirds), Robbie Blunt (Robert Plant), Chris Glen/Ted McKenna (SAHB, MSG), Don Airey (Deep Purple, Whitesnake, Rainbow, Black Sabbath, Ozzy Osbourne), and Gerry McAvoy/Brendan O'Neill (Rory Gallagher). It is a CV to ignite the passions, something his new album easily emulates.
The sixth album from Ashton also finds an array of high profile guests involved alongside he and Hickman, those involved including Don Airey, Kim Wilson, Robbie Blunt, Johnny Mastro (LA's Mama's Boys), Mark Stanway (Magnum, Phil Lynott), and Mo Birch (UB40, Go West, Culture Club). Radiogram only takes the length of its initial soundbite before enticing the emotions to wake up and pay full attention. Once into its stride opener Little Girl sizzles with heated riffs and forceful rhythms whilst the strong vocals cap the impressive first engagement of accomplished rock n roll. The track saunters and dawdles in turn as Ashton leaves fiery sonic shards across the song for a stirring start.
The album is a release which with great variety continually leaves one excited and wholly satisfied. Songs like the brilliant and best track on the album, Let Me In, with its teasing blues swagger and great mouth organ mastery, the classic sounding Dog Eat Dog, and the smouldering For Your Love to just pick a trio, all lifting one up in irresistible muscular arms to devour with ease their compulsive and rich majestic sounds from full imaginative hearts. The album is a release which you do not have to be a blues enthusiast to draw much pleasure from, even those with harder more abrasive tastes like us cannot avoid being magnetised by the craft and stirring sounds at work.
Also featuring a great version of the Willie Dixon/Muddy Waters song I Just Wanna Make Love To You and the simply hypnotic instrumental Bluz For Roy which closes the album and alone shows why the guitarist is so strongly thought of, Radiogram is one of the best rock albums to appear this year. Gwyn Ashton may still be an undiscovered name for many outside of blues but the album will certainly go a long way to changing that as its impressive sounds reach wider searching ears.

The Block and Axe: Thus ends the Chronicle of the Tower of London — George Cruikshank. Tailpiece for the final, double-number, December 1840. Ninety-eighth illustration and fifty-eighth wood-engraving in William Harrison Ainsworth's The Tower of London. A Historical Romance. Illustration for Book the Second, Chapter Chapter XLII. — "The execution of Lady Jane Grey," summing up the tragic plot involving a virtuous, pious, but naive young woman who gets caught up in a web of political intrigue, religious factions, and conflicting ambitions. 4.3 cm high x 7 cm wide, vignetted, bottom of p. 423: running head, "The Execution of Jane." [Click on the image to enlarge it.]
Whatever his thoughts were, the lieutenant made no reply; and Jane turned to Angela, who now began, with trembling hands, to remove her attire, and was trying to take off her velvet robe, when Mauger offered to assist her, but was instantly repulsed.
He then withdrew, and stationing himself by the block, assumed his hideous black mask, and shouldered his axe.
Partially disrobed, Jane bowed her head, while Angela tied a kerchief over her eyes, and turned her long tresses over her head to be out of the way. Unable to control herself, she then turned aside, and wept aloud. Jane moved forward in search of the block, but fearful of making a false step, felt for it with her hands, and cried — "What shall I do? — Where is it? — Where is it?"
Sir Thomas Brydges took her hand and guided her to it. At this awful moment, there was a slight movement in the crowd, some of whom pressed nearer the scaffold, and amongst others Sorrocold and Wolfytt. The latter caught hold of the boards to obtain a better view. Angela placed her hands before her eyes, and would have suspended her being, if she could; and even Feckenham veiled his countenance with his robe. Sir Thomas Brydges gazed firmly on.
By this time, Jane had placed her head on the block, and her last words were, "Lord, into thy hands I commend my spirit!"
The axe then fell, and one of the fairest and wisest heads that ever sat on human shoulders, fell likewise. [Chapter XLII. — "The Execution of Lady Jane Grey," pp. 422-23]
Present-day readers conceive of The Tower of London. A Historical Romance as an intact book, and may therefore feel that Cruikshank and Ainsworth are bracketing the volume with the axeman's block, in the frontispiece, the title-page vignette, and the tailpiece. However, serial readers would have conceived of the story as a process or progress as they amassed the text month by month over 1840. Consequently, they would have encountered all the beheading scenes at once, in the final, double number, from the preparation of the scaffold through to the tragic execution of the virtuous Lady Jane Grey. That the block is vacant may imply that, although the blood-letting is over for the moment, others will replace Lady Jane on the block.

Decapitations at the Tower, and the continuing issue of Capital Punishment
Although approximately one hundred and twenty-five executions occurred at the Tower of London, only a handful of aristocrats, mostly noblewomen, were beheaded on the Tower Green near the Chapel of St. Peter ad Vincula:
13 June 1483 Lord William Hastings — executed by order of the Duke of Gloucester (Richard III)
19 May 1536 Queen Anne Boleyn — executed by order of Henry VIII
27 May 1541 Margaret Pole, Countess of Salisbury — executed by order of Henry VIII
13 February 1542 Catherine Howard — executed by order of Henry VIII
13 February 1542 Jane Boleyn, Viscountess Rochford — executed by order of Henry VIII
12 February 1554 Lady Jane Grey — executed by order of Queen Mary
25 February 1601 Robert Devereux, 2nd Earl of Essex — executed by order of Queen Elizabeth I.
The beheadings on Tower Hill began with Sir Simon Burley (5 May 1388), and concluded in 1746-47 with the deaths of four prominent Jacobites: General William Boyd, Earl of Kilmarnock (18 August 1746); Colonel of the Jacobite Horse Grenadiers, Arthur Elphinstone, Baron Balmerino (18 August 1746); Colonel of the 2nd troop of Jacobite Horse Guards, Charles Radcliffe, Earl of Derwentwater (12 August 1746); and Simon Fraser, Lord Lovat (9 April 1747). The 11th Lord Lovat, Simon Fraser, "The Fox," a Hanoverian in 1715 turned Jacobite in 1745, was the last person in Great Britain to be executed by beheading, although beheading was not formally abolished in the United Kingdom until 1973. In March 1747 on the final day of his trial for treason at Westminster, his punishment as a traitor (hanging, drawing and quartering) King George II commuted to The more humane decapitation. On the day of his public execution, hundreds of spectators flocked to Tower Hill, but an overcrowded timber grandstand collapsed, leaving nine spectators dead, much to Lord Lovat's wry amusement.
The total number of confirmed executions between 1388 and 1780 on Tower Hill is 122. The vast majority of Tower of London prisoners who were sentenced to death met their ends in public executions. Ninety-three prisoners were beheaded. Executions at the Tower of London were conducted privately if the execution were considered too politically sensitive to carry out in open view — this reticence especially applied to the executions of women. Even these private executions on Tower Green, however, were carried out in the full view of many important spectators, often numbering up to two hundred. These noteworthy victims were usually hurriedly buried in the Chapel Royal of St. Peter ad Vincula situated next to Tower Green. Since Mary Tudor never acquired sufficient evidence to order the beheading of her half-sister, she released Elizabeth from the Tower in May 1554. Surpassing her father's record, Mary ordered the beheadings of nine prisoners of state at the Tower:
John Dudley, 16th Earl of Northumberland: 22 August 1553
Sir Thomas Palmer: 22 August 1553
Lord Guildford Dudley: 12 February 1554
Lady Jane Grey (Dudley): 12 February 1554
Henry Grey, Duke of Suffolk: 24 February 1554
Sir Thomas Wyatt: 11 April 1554
Lord Thomas Grey: 27 April 1554
Henry Peckham: 7 July 1556
John Daniel: 7 July 1556.
Although the government replaced decapitation with hanging after the executions of the leaders of the 1745 Jacobite rebellion, the use of capital punishment per se continued unabated well into the nineteenth century. Indeed, the question of abolition obsessed leading writers and social commentators, including Charles Dickens and Douglas Jerrold, during the 1840s, with some favouring merely the elimination of public hangings and others favouring total abolition, so that Cruikshank's final illustration, with the Tudor axe and vacant block, could be regarded as topical albeit oblique allusion to the issue.

Im a college Freshman here at College of the Ozarks. One of the first questions we asked them was how they accommodate those with gluten allergies. I was told that they have a lot of tasty gluten free options! I showed up on campus only to find that they had one hot meal option available each day and were catering also to those who were vegetarian and vegan as well. This meant that most often the option consisted of tofu or beans. The salad bar was questionable because of cross contamination. They had gluten free bread, but nothing available to put on it, as the deli meat, cheese and peanut butter were all exposed to cross contamination. The only halfway decent thing in the cafeteria is the dessert. I've gotten sick multiple times because of cross contamination on the salad bar. When we addressed those in charge, we were blown off, and were told that cross contamination was impossible because the gluten free options had different colored handles. We were told again that there were lots of gluten free options. If it was not for my mom fixing and freezing meals for me, i would be going to bed hungry on a regular basis. Yes, graduating debt free is an incredible blessing, but being gluten free here is not at all easy.

Directory of U.S. Military Rockets and Missiles
Appendix 4: Undesignated Vehicles
Jindivik
Copyright © 2004 Andreas Parsch
GAF Jindivik
The Jindivik is an Australian aerial target drone, which has seen widespread use in Australia and the UK for 50 years. It is included in the Directory of U.S. Military Rockets and Missiles, because a few examples were briefly used by the U.S. Navy.
Development of the Jindivik began at the Government Aircraft Factories (GAF) in Australia in 1948. A piloted test prototype, named Pika, flew in October 1950, and the first unmanned Jindivik Mk.1 flew in August 1952. It was powered by a single Armstrong Siddeley Adder ASA.1 turbojet. Only 14 Mk.1s were built before production switched in 1953 to the Mk.2 with a Bristol Siddeley Viper ASV.3 engine. The Mk.2 was known as Mk.102 in UK service. A total of 190 Mk.2 series Jindiviks were built, including three Mk.2A prototypes with extended wings and modified intake and 76 Mk.2Bs (Mk.102B in UK) with the Viper ASV.8 engine. The first flight of the Mk.3 variant, with higher performance, upgraded equipment and more versatile mission options, occurred in May 1961. The few Mk.3 drones were followed by a large production run of almost 150 Mk.3As (Mk.103A in UK and Mk.203A in the Royal Australian Navy). Beginning in 1964/65, 42 Mk.3As were delivered to the U.S. Navy. The USN Jindiviks were designated as Mk.303A, but were most probably identical to the standard Mk.3A/103A. They received neither USN serial numbers nor a standard U.S. military target drone designation.

Jindivik Mk.103A (with extended wings)
The Jindivik Mk.3A was powered by a Bristol Siddeley Viper Mk.201 (model ASV.11) turbojet. It was runway-launched on a remotely controlled take-off trolley and was recovered with a landing on a retractable central skid. The drone was radio-controlled either from a ground station or from an accompanying director aircraft. Jindivik was used for tests of surface-to-air and air-to-air guided missiles. For this purpose, it could be equipped with transponders for radar-tracking at greater range, radar reflectors, heat sources for enhanced IR signature and towed targets. Wide-angle cameras could be installed in the wingtip pods to record the approach trajectory and the miss distance of the attacking missiles. One distinguishing feature of the Jindivik Mk.3 series was the option to use wings of different span by installing optional wingtip extensions. That way the target could trade top speed for altitude/duration, and vice versa.
Unfortunately, I couldn't find any details about the U.S. Navy service career of the Jindivik Mk.303A. In any case, the Jindivik didn't last long in U.S. service, as it had ceased operations by the end of 1968. At least 14 of the Mk.303As were subsequently transferred to the UK.
The later variants of Jindivik were not used by the U.S. military, and detailed descriptions are therefore outside the scope of this article. The Mk.3A series was followed by 126 Mk.3Bs (Mk.103B in UK, Mk.203B in RAN service), which were modified to be better suited for low-level high-speed operations. The final Jindivik variant was the Mk.4A, which was built exclusively for the UK (and known there as Mk.104A). Beginning in March 1981, 33 Mk.4As were delivered. In 1987, the GAF became the Aerospace Technologies of Australia Pty Ltd company. A total of over 500 Jindiviks of all versions have been built, and the drone was still in use in the early 2000s.
Note: Data given by several sources show slight variations. Figures given below may therefore be inaccurate!
Data for Jindivik Mk.3A:
Length 8.76 m (28 ft 8.75 in)
Wingspan standard: 5.87 m (19 ft 3.2 in)
with extensions: 7.80 m (25 ft 7.2 in)

Brookstone will soon reopen in Phipps Plaza.
Brookstone, the popular gift and gadget specialty store closed their first level location at Phipps Plaza earlier this year, but will reopen on the second level. Ironically, the store will open in the former Armani Exchange, across from a space that been a The Sharper Image store up until their 2008 bankruptcy filing and subsequent closure. The Sharper Image sells items similar to Brookstone and was previously located in the Luxury Wing of Lenox Square, but was forced to move to Phipps when Neiman's expanded in 2007.
Up until their Phipps closure, the store had locations at both Lenox and Phipps, and with the new opening, that will once again be true. I had thought that perhaps the Phipps opening would only be a seasonal store, but sources tell me the store will be permanent. It's likely that their closure on the first floor was due to replacement tenant Lilly Pulitzer's willingness to pay more rent for the space.
Given the holidays are fast approaching, its very likely that Brookstone will open quickly just to ring in holiday sales and do a full buildout after the new year. Brookstone has a new Michael Kors-like exterior, heavy on metallics, that I saw at their Aventura Mall store that will hopefully be put in place when a full buildout is completed.

Q: Extracting the copyable identity of the non-copyable object I need to use non-copyable objects as keys in the NSMutableDictionary which, by default, is not allowed. I understand the reasons for this not being allowed (retaining the key object, unlike the value object, is undesirable), but it seems like in my particular situation there could be a way around this.
The thing is that I'm only need to query the dictionary using the key's address, i.e. having the lookup predicate
if (providedKey == storedKey)

instead of
if ([providedKey isEqual:storedKey])

would be perfectly sufficient.
Is there a way of extracting the object's reference address (or other form of identity) as a copyable comparable object which I could use as a dictionary key instead of the object itself?

A: You could use [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%p", someObject] as your key.
This will create a string with the object's address as a hex value.

A: You could use an nsnumber that represents the hash of the object.

A: It seems that +[NSValue valueWithPointer:] might be what you want. It stores the pointer itself in an object that conforms to NSCopying, so that you can use it as a dictionary key. Retrieve the pointer using pointerValue.

A: you can drop down to the CoreFoundation APIs and define you own callbacks (among other things).
NSMutableDictionary is a CFMutableDictionary.
specifically, you want to create a CFMutableDictionary, and define your own CFDictionaryKeyCallBacks.

Let's face the fact: It is very easy to sell anything once people know you as an authority in your niche. Becoming an authority not only helps you sell things and make money, it as well establishes your reputation and expertise and makes people see you as a brand.
The internet is full of so many people selling the same information, people actually want to hear from someone that knows what they are talking about. Being an authority means to be different and to stand out from the crowd. This means you are now a leader in your field.
Nowadays, it is certainly no secret that becoming an authority in your chosen niche is one of the major components of forming a successful online business. All the top internet affiliate marketers such as Neil Patel and Matthew Woodward are seen as big authorities in their niche.
Going by all these benefits, it clearly shows that being an authority is a pure-gold mine. There is absolutely no reason why you shouldn't strive to become one. In fact, to help you become an authority, I have gathered some of the best ways you can transform yourself from being just an ordinary marketer to an authority in whatever niche you want.
Being an authority in a particular niche means that you are facing one field; if your niche is Search Engine Optimization such as Alex Becker, ensure you build blog and send out newsletters only about SEO, don't jump from one niche to another or send out newsletters and blog topics talking about "how to train a dog". Talking about something else apart from the topics relevant to your niche will confuse your audience.
You won't be seen as a serious person or as an authority if your writings and actions are not specific to your niche. Once you choose a niche, focus on it, talk about it, breathe it, and let people see you as the niche.
The only way you can earn people's trust is not by selling to them. Instead, you earn trust by helping them out with their problems. There are forums and groups where people ask questions about your niche. Don't wait for these people to come to you. Instead, go to those forums and provide direct answers to their questions.
Give out free tips and information. If you have a working strategy, share it with your audience. People need to know that you actually care for them before they can start seeing you as an authority. This may seem hard in the beginning, but don't worry about it, it is worth it. If people notice that you are providing free tips, they will begin to seek you out and when you have established yourself, you can start making money from all the information you share.
Everything now happens on social media. In fact, social media such as Facebook, Instagram and Twitter is where you can find a large number of people interested in your niche at the same time. You need to be where your potential audience is.
Remember, social media isn't where you come to dump your offers and share your affiliate links. Instead, you should use it as a platform to connect with people interested in your niche, share ideas, give out freebies and also talk about something else apart from business. Let your audience/followers see you as a friend on social media instead of as another marketer they have to deal with.
One great way to connect with people emotionally is by telling your own success story, nothing beats this. If you have made money from your niche, people want to know there was a time when you like them, struggled to succeed. The truth is that your story will motivate them to try harder. Share a motivational success story about yourself. Trust me, if anybody is able to succeed because of your motivating story, they will never forget you.
Put your story on your website and share them on social media once in a while. Your story will give your audience a sense of comfort that "you have been there" and have overcome the type of challenges they are now facing.
Additionally, people want to see that the strategy you are preaching is working, so you will need to show them your income proof and things you have acquired with the money you are making from your niche. Share a picture of a 5-star hotel you lodged, a new car you bought with your affiliate earning and more. Show them that you are a success but don't be arrogant about it. Stay humble!
One tree does not make an island. Partner with other authorities in your niche. Share a guest post on their blog, organize webinar together with them and create a product or mastermind together. By partnering with other authorities, new people who are followers of the other person will come to know you and you will have more people listening to what you have to say.
Ensure that you promote only genuine products and offers. Remember that you want to build trust and confidence. Don't share strategies that are not working or endorse any product that is a rip-off. Respect people's feeling and time, you should attend to questions in a timely matter. Know when to sell and when to give things out free. Remember, you need to stay humble and keep on expanding your network every day.
Preach your ideas consistently. Don't be scared of competition, if you are good in your craft, people will know and over time, you will become an authority and start making money while you sleep.

An Axe to Throw
Looking for a new way to have fun with friends? Throwing axes is one of the fastest-growing pastimes in North America.
The first time Ryan Vencer tried axe throwing, he thought he'd be great.
"I thought I was going to kick everyone's ass. But I went there and I sucked," says the Toronto native.
Despite that, Vencer was hooked.
In fact, he had such a fun time watching his friends that he applied for a position at an axe-throwing establishment on a whim. "I just wanted a fun, part-time job. I didn't think I would love the sport," Vencer says.
Axe Throwing for Fun
More commonly associated with lumberjacks, Vikings and Paul Bunyan, axe throwing isn't a new sport—competitions have taken place in Canada for years. However, it's only recently that this pastime has made its way into cities across Canada and the United States.
And urban axe throwing has taken off: According to the International Axe Throwing Federation (IATF), "The sport of axe throwing has spread like wildfire over the past two decades."
While the idea of hurling sharp objects at a target may seem wacky, it's become the new way to celebrate birthdays or spend a night out with friends. Companies also book venues for team-building events.
"Axe throwing is sort of primal, sort of dangerous. It's thrilling and physical. People are so disconnected from things that are natural right now, and they want to connect to that type of experience," says Ginger Flesher-Sonnier, founder of Kick Axe Throwing in Brooklyn.
"It makes you feel powerful and badass," says Savannah DesOrmeaux. "It's really cool to be part of an environment where people are having a good time and learning a new skill."
The Sport of Axe Throwing
Think of axe throwing as being like darts. Your goal: Hit the wooden target located several feet away.
While each venue may have slightly different rules for scoring, you generally earn points depending on where your axe lands—the bull's eye or the concentric circles surrounding it; hit one of the blue dots on either side of the board for extra points.
Some venues mix it up by designing games for participants, like  first to 50 points, 21 (where you have to earn 21 points exactly), and Moose (the axe-throwing equivalent of H-O-R-S-E).
Don't worry about being accidentally scalped: Your group will be assigned a specific lane or range, as in bowling, and an instructor will walk you through the safety protocol and proper technique (see below) before you begin tossing hatchets.
Another similarity to bowling: After you throw, there's downtime to socialize and cheer on your team.
Despite the sport's origins, these facilities aren't rustic: Many have a lounge and bar onsite while others are BYOB. Most require advanced reservations and a minimum number of guests in your group. However, some venues do have space for walk-ins.
To help standardize the rules of the rapidly growing sport, organizations like the IATF and the World Axe Throwing League (WATL) have emerged in recent years. They offer guidelines on everything from league rules and scoring to safety protocols to throwing techniques, and also facilitate communication between member organizations.
Making the Perfect Throw
Axe throwing seems straightforward in theory—take an axe and throw it at a target. But in practice, it's not so easy. That may explain part of the sport's addictive appeal for many people.
"When you pick up a hatchet, you can envision in your head getting that one full rotation and having it stick in the wood. Then, you throw it and it bounces off the target but you can't understand why, so you try again," says Armando DiRienzo, owner of Stumpy's Hatchet House in Fairfield, New Jersey.
"It's a full-body throw and requires most major muscle groups to do it. The hatchets aren't heavy, but with a lot of repetitions, you can get pretty tired," DiRienzo adds. "The two-handed throw, if done correctly, is more of a core exercise than one-handed."
The key to a good throw? A straight arm and a stiff wrist.
Joining a League
For those who want to take their throwing to the next level, many venues host leagues that typically run one to two times a week for eight weeks. At the end of the season, there's a tournament or playoffs to crown a season winner.
In addition, there are larger-scale tournaments—the IATF and WATL both sponsor them—as well as skills competitions where you can show off your trick shots.
The best part? Anyone can heave an axe. You don't need athletic ability or previous training or skills.
"My favorite part of the sport is how inclusive it is. Everyone has an equal chance of winning," says Vencer. He adds that at one of his venue's league championships, a 15-year-old girl "blew everyone out of the water."
How to Throw an Axe
Despite what you think, you don't need to be built like a lumberjack to throw an axe well. Here's the proper technique:
Firmly hold the axe with your dominant hand and place your non-dominant hand over your dominant hand.
If you're right-handed, step your right foot back (left foot in front). If you're left-handed, step your left foot back (right foot in front).
Rock your weight on to your back foot as you bring the axe directly over your head. The axe blade should come between your shoulder blades—not over one shoulder like you're throwing a baseball or football. The blade should be straight, not turned to one side.
Rock your weight onto your front foot as you bring the axe forward with straight arms and locked wrists. Don't throw when someone is in front of or near the target!
Release the axe when the handle is perpendicular to the floor (straight up and down) and follow through.
