The Beekeeper's Bible is as much an ultimate guide to the practical essentials of beekeeping as it is a beautiful almanac to be read from cover to cover. Part history book, part handbook, and part cookbook, this illustrated tome covers every facet of the ancient hobby of beekeeping, from how to manage hives safely to harvesting one's own honey, and ideas for how to use honey and beeswax. Detailed instructions for making candles, furniture polish, beauty products, and nearly 100 honey-themed recipes are included. Fully illustrated with how-to photography and unique etchings, any backyard enthusiast or gardener can confidently dive into beekeeping with this book in hand (or daydream about harvesting their own honey while relaxing in the comfort of an armchair).
Praise for The Beekeeper's Bible:
"Jones and Sweeney-Lynch explain the science and society of bees in clear, accessible language. And the recipes are admirably useful: honey scones, honey soap, honey hangover cures. 'Oh, stuff and fluff,' as Pooh might say. Dip a paw into this richly satisfying volume and you won't have to do stoutness exercises."
-The New York Times
"Lip-smackin' throughout, The Beekeeper's Bible is, at its heart, a glorious invitation into the depths of the honeybee hive." —Chicago Tribune
"An elegant, information-packed addition to the library of the most serious beekeeper." —Better Homes & Gardens Country Gardens
"An amazing compendium of information, lore, facts, tips, techniques, and benefits of having bees in your life—whether you choose to keep a hive yourself, enjoy the by-products, or just appreciate these wonderful creatures for all that they contribute to our human ecosystem."<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

When it comes to wine, I like to think I'm quite adventurous. But matching a white cava with a slow-roasted leg of lamb was a new one on me. And guess what? It works!
Of course the Catalans have, like, known this for ever. Which is why I was trying this combination at a Codorníu Wine Barcelona Supper Club held in London.
The idea was to show us that cava can be enjoyed throughout a meal, not just as an aperitif.
The menu was designed by Rachel McCormack from Catalan Cooking in consultation with Bruno Colomer Martí, Codorníu's winemaker, who was at the supper to talk us through each wine, and why he thought they matched the dishes.
So why did the lamb and cava combo work?
Partly it is down to weight. The cava in question is the Anna de Codorníu Brut, which is 70% Chardonnay and only 30% the lighter traditional local grapes of Macabeo, Parellada and Xarel.lo. So it has a bit of body to match the texture of the lamb but also a freshness to counter any fatiness in the meat. In addition, the slow cooking had brought out a slight sweetness in the lamb, which came with three purees: white beans, parsley and garlic; aubergine; onion with Jerez vinegar. A really tasty dish and the highlight of the meal.
We'd started with the Selección Raventos Brut, which is 50% Chardonnay, 50% local grape varieties grown in two distinctly different areas. It is aged in the bottle for 18 months (twice as long as the Anna), so has a light toasty, biscuity flavour along with crisp stone fruit. We nibbled large Gordal olives, Mahón cheese and bunyols de bacallà – which sound (and taste) so much nicer than "cod doughnuts".
We moved onto langoustine-style monkfish, a dish harking back to the days when monkfish was cheap and was dressed up to look like the meat of the more expensive crustacean. It looked good and tasted good. But the accompanying sauces – and rocket – were too powerful for the Pinot Noir Rosé Brut, cancelling out its delicate red berry flavours.
I didn't think their flagship fizz Reina Maria Cristina Blanc de Noirs 2008 was a great match with the dessert either. The vanilla ice cream with a mulled wine and red fruits sauce was a bit sweet for the cava. Hardly tragic when I could help myself to another glass after I'd finished eating.
According to Codorníu, the Reina Maria Cristina is the first Blanc de Noirs wine to be produced in Spain. Though 2008 was its first release (there was a previous Chardonnay-driven blend), the family-owned company has the oldest and largest Pinot Noir vineyard plantings in Spain. The grapes for this blanc de noirs are grown in poor soil to stress the vines, keep the amount of bunches per vine low and the concentration of flavour in the grapes high.
Bruno explained how they've chosen a continental climate zone to grow the grapes for this cava (hot days and cool nights) and the grapes are harvested at night in August because of the heat. This cava is aged for 24 months before release.
Why am I telling you all this? Firstly, because it's easy to dismiss big brands as producing palatable but inferior-quality wines, when a lot of thought and care can go into what they produce. And secondly because the Reina Maria Cristina Blanc de Noirs, the most expensive of the cavas we drank, costs about £15, which shows what good value sparkling wine from Spain can be.


The Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki uses the Outward Loan file from the Activities module, together with Procedural Control, to help manage their busy outward loans program. This ensures that all loan requests are well documented, and processed are in a consistent, streamlined fashion.
When a formal loan request is submitted to the gallery, a new Outward Loan record is created with a procedural status of Request Received. Relevant information is entered in the appropriate fields, including the Loan Start and End Dates, Borrower, Exhibition Itinerary, Exhibition Title, and any staff involved in assessing or preparing the artworks.
The artworks requested for the loan are linked in the Objects and Activities window, after which, the Check Conflicts button is clicked. This identifies any artworks that are unavailable for the dates requested. This could be due to their involvement in an internal exhibition, an outward loan to another institution, or a mandatory rest period.
After checking for scheduling conflicts, the record is saved. It is at this point that procedural control comes into play, automatically generating any reports and actions configured for the "Request Received" status. As the loan moves through different stages of assessment and preparation, the procedural status is changed. Any time the record is saved with a new status, different reports and actions will be generated depending on what is required for that stage of the workflow. This level of automation saves time and promotes consistency throughout all stages of the outward loans process.
The following is an outline of some of the procedural statuses the gallery uses, and the accompanying actions and reports.
Word Merge Acknowledgement Letter: The first report to generate is a letter formatted with the Auckland Art Gallery header and footer, addressed to the person who sent the request. This letter acknowledges that the gallery has received the request and will begin the assessment process.
Word Merge File labels and Checklist: The gallery keeps a physical file of any hardcopy documents relating to the loan. These reports generate labels for the file, with details of the borrower, exhibition title, exhibition and loan dates, as well as a checklist of actions to be completed.
Word Merge Loan Assessment Form: This is a report that gives the details of each artwork requested in the loan. This document is saved to a shared drive where relevant staff can access it. It has areas for curators, conservators, technicians, and registrars to add their comments and recommendations. These may include the work's suitability for exhibition or travel, any treatment, necessary framing or glazing, and packing, crating or courier requirements.
New Loan Request Email: A new message is opened in Outlook with a template stating that a new loan request has been received. The Borrower, Exhibition Title, Exhibition Dates, and an object count are entered in the body of the message. The email is addressed to the curator, conservator and technician as specified on the Outward Loan record. Hyperlinks to a copy of the loan request letter and to the Loan Assessment form are manually inserted so the email recipients can add any comments or recommendations they may have.
Once completed the Loan Assessment form is presented to the gallery's loans and acquisitions committee for their consideration. Once a decision has been reached, the status of the Outward Loan record is updated to Request Approved or Request Declined.
Word Merge Loan Declined Letter: This is a letter, formatted with the Auckland Art Gallery header and footer, addressed to the Contact person. An explanation is manually entered, detailing why the gallery was unable to approve the loan request at this time.
Request Declined is flagged as a Completion Status, so this loan request will not be included in future conflict checks.
Word Merge Loan Approved Letter: This is a letter, addressed to the contact person, informing them that their loan request has been approved.
Word Merge Loan Agreement and Object Schedule: This agreement between the Borrower and the gallery is populated with the Borrowers information from the Outward Loan record. A separate Object report is also generated and attached to the agreement. This contains details of the artworks included in the loan, with additional information such as insurance values and credit lines. These documents are sent to the borrower for their signature.
Once both parties have signed the loan agreement, the record's status is updated to Agreement Signed. When a record is saved with this status a list of tasks pops up. Any required tasks can be selected and assigned to the relevant staff member. Examples include condition reporting, photography, and crate fit-out. The Gallery uses Diary Checking on log on, so staff will see any due tasks assigned to them any time they log in to Vernon CMS.
When the artworks leave the building, the status of the Outward Loan record is changed to Objects Fully Dispatched.
Bulk move: This procedural action opens the bulk move window so that all objects associated with the loan can be moved to an "On loan" location, with the borrowing institution entered in the External location field.
Word Merge Invoice Loan Costs Memo: This is a memo addressed to the gallery's Accounts Manager requesting that an invoice be raised for any associated loan costs. It is populated with details for the invoice, such as the Borrower and Exhibition Title.
Invoice loan costs email: This procedural action generates an email to the gallery's Accounts Manager. The Loan Costs Memo is manually attached to the email before it is sent.
At the conclusion of the loan, when the artworks are back on-site, the status of the record is changed to Objects Fully Returned.
Bulk move: This action opens the Bulk move window. Artworks are then returned to their Usual Location, or to a Temporary Location while they await their final condition check.
Works returned from loan email: This action generates an email to the appropriate conservator, stating that the objects have returned from loan, and requests that final condition reports be completed. The 'Condition Report Returned Loan' task can also be selected and assigned to the conservator, so they are reminded of this task when they log in to Vernon.
These are the procedural statuses used most frequently, but there are others that have been created under different circumstances. While it is possible to create additional statuses for other stages in the process, the current configuration works well with the gallery's workflow. The reports, actions and tasks that are associated with each procedural status have been refined and updated over time so that all loan requests are documented and processed consistently.


Sometimes life hands you difficult choices. Case in point, Saturday I was torn between two fantastic shows down in old London town… Vader/Hate at The Underworld and The Great Old Ones at The Black Heart. What is a boy to do?
Seeing as how I selected Tekeli-li as one of my top 10 albums of last year (Critical Edition), and acknowledging the fact that I've seen both Vader and Hate before, I chose to plump for France's acolytes of the great unknown, at the risk of my sanity and my very mortal soul.
Up first this evening were Conjurer, a band I confess I knew very little about beforehand, beyond a few faint whisperings through the grapevine promising good things. And by god were those whispers on to something.
With an unerringly tight, punishingly heavy, and above all endlessly dynamic, sound, the unassuming Midlands-based quartet brought their absolute A-game, positively bludgeoning the assembled audience with a gargantuan wall of savage, stunning noise.
Though the band are described simply as "Sludge Metal" on their webpage, I honestly feel like that's insufficient to capture the sheer weight and depth of their sound. Erring most closely to a sort of Triptykon-style Doom and Gloom, but with added moments of morbidly brutal Stockholm-esque Death Metal riffage and staggeringly vicious segments of pure blackened fury – all without sounding like a simple hodge-podge of stapled-together influences – I'd be tempted to describe them as something along the lines of "Monolithic Titan Doom" if I weren't so concerned that it might be read as pure hyperbole.
Either way, you owe it to yourselves to check these guys out, particularly in the live arena, as they damn near stole the show.
Tasked with the unenviable job of following the opener's surprising dose of shock and awe, London sludge-mongers Bast stepped up to the plate to unleash their own particular brand of audible Armageddon on the steadily swelling crowd, diving head-first into a murky pool of fuzz-soaked riffs and slime-drenched bass lines.
With their hazy, almost freeform approach, the three-piece largely eschewed the more song-focussed approach favoured by their younger predecessors, and instead delivered their set as one vast movement of buzzing feedback, growling, undulating bass lines, and bellowed vocal lines, all locked down by drummer/vocalist Jon Lee's blitzkrieg bombardment of doom-laden beats.
The band barely paused for breath between one track and the next, allowing blooming waves of distortion to overflow the edges of each song, blending and blurring the lines between them, meaning that the end of their set snuck up on the audience without warning, yet left a very lasting impression all the same.
If I had to pick one word to describe The Great Old Ones it would be… intense. Intensely heavy, intensely atmospheric, intensely… intense.
With three guitars, one bass, one drummer, and two members sharing vocal duties, it only took a minute or two of the band's glorious cacophony to demonstrate just why they were the night's headliners, overwhelming the enraptured audience with glacial tides of dense distortion and frostbitten melody.
The front of the stage was dominated by a strange, Lovecraftian icon, behind which the five members of the band – hoods pulled high and instruments clasped tightly – conducted their sinister sonic ritual, conjuring a sense of otherworldy menace and creeping, unearthly horror with every skittering blast-beat and frenzied, many-angled riff.
Pulling songs from both their albums (2012's phenomenal Al Azif and last year's game-changing Tekeli-li) the band's set was one long, unbroken procession of sound and fury, signifying something terrible… a blazing cascade of black fire and chilling ambience, with moments of icy calm scattered amongst the savage blasts of caustic distortion.
The band acknowledged the audience only once, with a simple thank you, right at the very climax of the evening, instead allowing the music to do all their talking for them. And talk it did. In a language not quite human, but with a message that came through loud and clear.
Ignore The Great Old Ones at your peril.


You are brave for sharing this. I know how hard it can be to talk about eating disorders. I'm so glad you found a way to move past your disorder. I hope Yoga helps bring you nothing but happiness for many years to come.
Oh my God, this is just so relatable. I've been a binge eater most of my life. It's something I no longer do but it used to cause me so much pain and shame. It was the one thing no doctor or therapist could help me with. I'm also the perfectionist, obsessive, workaholic type. There was this time in my life when I felt like I wouldn't mind getting hit by a car, which is so sad and shows how desperate I was.
I'm so glad to see that meditation and turning within heals!! Thank you for sharing!
I have come across many people in my life who found their way after meditation. I feel that it gives you divine peace and heals your soul when you realize that God is with you all the time. I restore this faith every day.
Beautiful! Meditation is a way for us to turn inward and truly understand how we want to express ourselves and detach from our emotions and negative thoughts. Thanks for sharing!
you're so brave to share this with us. i had bulimia and anorexia when i was teenager and can't remember what i did to overcome it. perhaps family support was a big help too.
Wow! This is so deep. I am glad you looked mostly to organic methods to heal your eating disorder because at times it's not the problem that's hard but the approach we take to overcome it. Thanks for sharing every bit of the words in your post.

Ó Brádaigh, Ruairí
Maume, Patrick
Ó Brádaigh, Ruairí (1932–2013), republican paramilitary and political activist, was born Peter Roger Casement Brady in Upper Mount Street, Dublin, on 2 October 1932. He was the second child of two sons and a daughter of Matt (Matthew) Brady, a farmer of Longford town, and his wife May (née Caffrey). He adopted his Irish-language name in the early 1950s, retaining his birth name for passport applications.
Matt Brady (1890–1942) was a War of Independence IRA veteran who on 27 April 1919 was shot five times and permanently maimed when he and another Volunteer attacked two RIC men. Ó Brádaigh's Belfast-born mother May Brady (1899–1974) was a UCD commerce graduate active in Cumann na mBan during the War of Independence; like her future husband she opposed the 1922 Treaty and supported abstentionist Sinn Féin against Fianna Fáil. Matt was an Independent republican representative on Longford County Council (1934–42). After his death, May became secretary for the Longford board of health and married Patrick Twohig (d. 1951), a teacher. Ó Brádaigh's younger brother Seán (b. 1937) was a lifelong political ally.
From his parents and republican commemorative culture, reinforced by the Wolfe Tone annuals of Brian O'Higgins (qv), Ó Brádaigh became convinced that Irish history was shaped by cycles of corruption and resurgence, that constitutional nationalism only benefitted upwardly mobile collaborators, and that physical force separatism represented a line of succession going back to the Norman invasion. Educated at Melview National School and St Mel's College, Longford, then UCD (1950–54), graduating B.Comm., he became a vocational teacher in Roscommon town.
Joining Sinn Féin in 1950 and the IRA in 1951, he rapidly became commander of the Longford unit and training officer for south Roscommon. From 1954 he worked to prepare the 1956–62 IRA border campaign. He led a successful raid on 13 August 1955 on a British army barracks near Arborfield, Berkshire, though the British swiftly recovered the captured arms and ammunition. During the border campaign he was second in command of the Teeling column and participated in its attack on an RUC station at Derrylin, Co. Fermanagh (30 December 1956), where a policeman was killed. Among several column members subsequently arrested in Co. Cavan, he was sentenced to six months' imprisonment in Mountjoy prison, Dublin, for possessing ammunition. He was interned on release in the Curragh military prison.
While incarcerated he was elected Sinn Féin TD, on an abstentionist ticket, for Longford–Westmeath in the 1957 general election, losing his seat in the 1961 general election. He escaped from detention in September 1958 with Daithi Ó Conaill (qv) who became his closest political associate and married Ó Brádaigh's maternal first cousin. Later that year he married Patricia (Patsy) O'Connor, a UCG commerce graduate and fellow teacher in the Roscommon vocational school. They had four sons and two daughters; three were active in the republican movement. He was IRA chief of staff from October 1958 until March 1959 when he became adjutant-general (second-in-command) to Seán Cronin (qv). He remained at large until November 1959, when he was arrested and sentenced to six months' imprisonment in Mountjoy before returning as chief of staff in June 1960, also becoming editor of Sinn Féin's United Irishman newspaper.
After drafting the 1962 statement that ended the border campaign, he stood down as IRA chief of staff in favour of Cathal Goulding (qv). He resumed teaching at Roscommon vocational school in September 1962, having not taught since December 1956, and bought a house in Roscommon town, but remained on the IRA army council and active in Sinn Féin. In 1966 he contested Fermanagh–South Tyrone in the Westminster general election, polling some twenty per cent of the vote as an Independent republican.
Regarding orthodox Marxism as dictatorial and opportunistic, he was a leading internal opponent of the Marxist politicisation of the IRA under the Goulding leadership of the 1960s. Although he favoured political agitation to build support (he was active in co-operative and credit union movements in Roscommon), he insisted on the primacy of the military wing. Matters came to a head in 1969 over abstentionism and the leadership's perceived ineffectiveness amid mass sectarian violence in Northern Ireland. In December 1969 the IRA split, with Sinn Féin following in January 1970; Ó Brádaigh became leader of the new Provisional Sinn Féin and a Provisional IRA army council member. The new group was endorsed by Tom Maguire (qv), sole survivor of seven former second dáil TDs who purported to confer governmental authority on the army council in 1938.
While denouncing the Official IRA as communists, Ó Brádaigh and his associates declared themselves democratic socialists and developed the 'Éire Nua' programme, influenced by Desmond Fennell (b. 1929). Advocating federalism based on four provincial parliaments, with extensive powers for local councils, Éire Nua envisaged co-operatively owned industries and credit unions, state-controlled natural resources, and blocking foreign ownership of land and businesses. Despite always opposing the European Community as neo-imperialism, he reflected the declining credibility of autarky by advocating associate EEC membership in 1971. He pursued relationships with European secessionist movements; Breton nationalists linked him with the Gadaffi regime in Libya. Ó Brádaigh was influenced by emerging African nationalists such as Julius Nyerere (1922–99), some forms of decentralising catholic social thought, and the longstanding sense that Irish republicanism represented underdogs against privilege.
Éire Nua promised unionists significant influence in a nine-county dáil uladh and he made sporadic contacts in the early 1970s with Ulster protestant and unionist representatives. During December 1976 to June 1977 he pursued unsuccessful negotiations with the Ulster loyalist central coordination committee aimed at reconciling certain loyalists' wish for an independent Northern Ireland with Éire Nua. Ó Brádaigh emphasised that his maternal grandmother had been a Swiss protestant and that although a practising catholic he displayed political independence of the hierarchy. Critics suggested he failed to recognise how catholicism permeated his cultural assumptions.
In June 1972 he was charged with IRA membership. On remand he undertook a fourteen-day hunger strike, ending when he was discharged through insufficient evidence. He was arrested on 29 December 1972 under the 1972 Offences Against the State Act which allowed conviction on the opinion of a Garda chief inspector. At his trial (11 January 1973) he neither confirmed nor denied IRA membership, per IRA practice, and was sentenced to six months' imprisonment in the Curragh military prison. He had been granted leave of absence by Roscommon Vocational Education Committee to serve as president of Sinn Féin. The Department of Education refused to sanction this, and after his conviction enforced his dismissal despite resistance by the VEC, leaving his wife as the family breadwinner. His pension rights were restored in 1990.
In summer 1973 he visited five US cities on a fundraising tour. He returned to the US that October to testify before a sub-committee of the foreign relations committee of the house of representatives investigating the protection of human rights. Afterwards he was the guest of honour at a reception attended by over sixty congressmen, including the house majority leader Tip O'Neill. But when he attempted to travel to the US again in January 1974, the US authorities revoked his entry visa (permanently as it turned out) at the request of the British government; the British request had been supported by the Irish government.
Having opened communication channels with the British authorities, he participated in the talks held in Feakle, Co. Clare, between republican leaders and Irish protestant churchmen (10 December 1974). Following the outcry against the killing of twenty-one civilians in Birmingham by IRA bombs, the IRA then called a Christmas truce, extended to mid-January 1975, during which time he met British representatives. This led to a longer IRA truce (10 February–22 September) involving further clandestine negotiations. The British hinted they might consider withdrawal from Northern Ireland while preparing for a long struggle involving 'normalisation' of the conflict by ending internment, relying on local security forces and treating paramilitary prisoners as ordinary criminals. The IRA was severely affected by its inability to respond to sectarian killings by loyalist paramilitaries, and some members defected to the newly-formed INLA.
Ó Brádaigh saw the truce as a calculated risk but made no attempt to brief the wider republican movement on his rationale. The perception grew, especially among younger northern IRA members, that the republican leadership had been manipulated by the British. After the truce he came under pressure from a northern faction who presented the Ó Brádaigh group as superannuated southern conservatives, and gradually isolated and displaced him and his associates. He was hindered by his decision to remain living in Roscommon rather than Dublin, by an exclusion order barring him from Northern Ireland, and by the 1981–2 Maze hunger strikes in which the northerners appeared as the faces and voices of the protest, though he was quicker to see that electoral politics could build support for the campaign.
The northerners criticised Éire Nua as combining a potential new Stormont with cumbersome governmental structures and for giving too much scope to capitalism. In 1979 the IRA repudiated Éire Nua; it was watered down by Sinn Féin in 1981 and rejected in 1982. Replaced by Gerry Adams as president of Sinn Féin in November 1983, he returned to part-time teaching and left the army council after being injured in a car accident in January 1984. He suffered a minor stroke, walking thereafter with a cane.
Ó Brádaigh led opposition to the abandonment of abstentionism from Leinster House at the 2 November 1986 Sinn Féin ard fheis; on defeat he and his supporters walked out and established Republican Sinn Féin (RSF), claiming to be the continuation of the party established in 1905. He was elected president and Éire Nua was reinstated as party policy. The Continuity army council, secretly endorsed by Tom Maguire, was also established and gradually developed into the Continuity IRA (CIRA). (In 1997 Ó Brádaigh published Dilseacht: the story of General Tom Maguire and the second (all-Ireland) dáil, setting out the republican legitimist claim.) Ó Brádaigh probably belonged to this army council until his death or shortly before it.
He saw the 1990s IRA ceasefires and Sinn Féin involvement in the Northern Ireland peace process, culminating in disarmament and membership of a Northern Ireland Assembly and executive, as vindicating his analysis. Goulding commented – 'We were probably right too soon, Adams and company were probably right too late and Ruairí Ó Brádaigh will never be right' (White, Ó Brádaigh, 334). Other breakaway groups, notably the Real IRA (RIRA), tried to merge with RSF/CIRA to avail of his international contacts and RSF's established political structures. These attempts foundered on personal resentments over the 1986 split, Ó Brádaigh's demand that RIRA accept abstentionism as unchangeable, and well-founded RSF suspicions that RIRA was penetrated by security force agents. CIRA elements saw his insistence on control as hindering the military movement and collaborated with other groups behind his back. After Ó Brádaigh stepped down as president of Republican Sinn Féin in 2009, Des Dalton's election as his successor led to a split in RSF/CIRA. The breakaway group alleged that Ó Brádaigh still controlled the movement using Dalton as a figurehead.
Ó Brádaigh died in Roscommon County Hospital on 5 June 2013. His funeral to St Coman's cemetery was marked by scuffles between mourners and numerous Gardaí present to prevent the firing of a volley. RSF subsequently organised a Ruairí Ó Brádaigh summer school annually in Roscommon. In 2005 he had deposited a collection of his political papers at the James Hardiman Library, UCG, on long-term loan.
Ó Brádaigh provoked strong reactions. Abstaining from alcohol until late in life, and partaking only very absteemiously, he was calm and courteous in person, with some reporters nicknaming him 'the gentleman terrorist' (Irish News, 12 June 2013). Commentators often contrasted his forthrightness with the perceived evasions of the Adams leadership group. Beneath this affable surface lay steely integrity or self-righteous fanaticism, according to perception. His 1971 description of the accidental killing of a seventeen-month old girl by IRA fire in Belfast as 'one of the hazards of urban guerrilla warfare' (White, Ó Brádaigh, 3) was seen as particularly reptilian.
He was a creature of the mid-twentieth century, formed by his parents' experiences and with the pedantic self-importance of a provincial schoolteacher aware of his university education when such qualifications were uncommon. By the time of his death even most dissident republicans discarded the historical legitimation to which he attached such importance in favour of a more general rejection of authority. His cyclical view of Irish history caught a genuine aspect of the long-term processes of Irish state formation, but critics of his version of republicanism saw him as offering only perpetual entrapment on a self-sustaining karmic wheel of bloodshed.

Jordi Solé Tura (23 May 1930 in Mollet del Vallés – 4 December 2009 in Barcelona) was a Spanish politician, jurist and one of the co-authors and "Fathers" of the Spanish Constitution of 1978 following Spain's move to democracy.

From his youth Tura belonged to different leftish organizations, such as Popular Liberation Front and Bandera Roja. In the early years of the democracy he worked in the Unified Socialist Party of Catalonia.

Inside the PSUC he worked with PCE leader Santiago Carrillo in defense of Eurocommunism. He was elected to Spain's Congress of Deputies in June 1977 and again in March 1979. He was one of the seven "Fathers of the Constitution" (politicians charged with writing a new constitution).

He left the PCE and joined the Socialist Party (PSC-PSOE) and was elected anew for the province of Barcelona in 1989, 1993 and 1996.

In 1985 he was elected Dean of University of Barcelona's Law School.

He was Minister of Culture under Felipe Gonzalez from March 1991 to July 1993.

In 2008 he was the center of a documentary called Bucarest, la memoria perdida that was filmed by his son Albert Solé. The documentary covered his life and his fight against Alzheimer's disease, and was awarded a Goya.

Q: creation of parent account when child get some condition trigger hi helpies i am new here  i stuck over here please help me
i am writing trigger over contact whenever new contact created and some condition met  a new parent account should be created . i have done with creation of account but how to make it parent here i stuck
code is below..
trigger accountcreatecon on Contact (after insert) {

    List<Account> list_acc = new List<Account>();
    Map<id, Account> con_acc_map = new Map<id, Account>();
            set <id> idset=new set <id>();
    for(contact c :trigger.new){
        if(c.lastname.startswith('a') && (c.email.endswith('gmail.com') ||c.email.endswith('yahoo.com')  ) && (c.phone.startswith('888') || c.phone.startswith('999'))){

        Account a = new Account(Name=c.lastname);
        idset.add(a.id);
        list_acc.add(a);
        }
    }
    insert list_acc;

}

A: Your requirement here is to create a new Account and associate it to the contact record.. A concerns:

*

*Try creating the trigger Before Insert as it will eliminate the need of using a DML statement.

trigger triggertest on Contact (before insert) {

    List<Account> list_acc = new List<Account>();
    Map<id, Account> con_acc_map = new Map<id, Account>();
    set <id> idset = new set <id>();
    for(contact c : trigger.new){
        if( (c.lastname.startswith('a') || c.lastname.startswith('A') )&&
           (c.email.endswith('gmail.com') || c.email.endswith('yahoo.com')  )
           && (c.phone.startswith('888') || c.phone.startswith('999')))
        {
            list_acc.add(new Account(Name = c.LastNAme)) ;
        }
    }

    if(!list_acc.isEmpty()){
        insert list_acc;
        for(Contact c1 : Trigger.New){
            for(Account a : list_acc ){
                idset.add(a.id);
                c1.AccountId = a.Id;
            }
        }
    }
}

Or you can go with following compact code :
trigger triggertest on Contact (before insert) {

    set <id> idset = new set <id>();
    for(contact c : trigger.new){
        if( (c.lastname.startswith('a') || c.lastname.startswith('A') ))
        {
            Account a = new Account(Name = c.LastNAme) ;
            insert a;
            c.AccountId = a.Id;
            idset.add(a.id);
        }

    }
}

A: trigger triggertest on Contact (before insert) {
List list_acc = new List();
Map con_acc_map = new Map();
set  idset = new set ();
for(contact c : trigger.new){
if( (c.lastname.startswith('a') || c.lastname.startswith('A') )&&
           (c.email.endswith('gmail.com') || c.email.endswith('yahoo.com')  )
           && (c.phone.startswith('888') || c.phone.startswith('999')))
        {
            list_acc.add(new Account(Name = c.LastNAme)) ;
        }
    }
if(list_acc.size() > 0){
insert list_acc;
    }
for(Account a : list_acc ){
con_acc_map.put(a.name,a.id)  ;
    }
for(Contact c1 : Trigger.New){
c1.accountid=con_acc_map.get(c1.lastname);
    }

Diana Jenkins Departs The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills After
It's one and done for Diana Jenkins on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
Jenkins revealed to People on Monday that she was bowing out of the Bravo reality series after a single season as a featured housewife.
"As many of you know, Asher and I are expecting our second child later this year," the star said.
"You also know that due to many factors, this pregnancy is considered high risk and I am on doctor-advised bed rest."
"To that end, I am not able to devote myself fully to filming the next season of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," added.
"I would like to thank Bravo and Evolution for allowing me to focus on my pregnancy, and for their support and understanding."
"I promise to continue sharing my fertility journey with you."
Jenkins joined the series during its recent 12th season and was at the center of some of the most dramatic moments.
Diana's future on the series was questioned when she didn't appear at the reunion taping late last year.
Jenkins appeared on Zoom for a short segment but didn't address much of the drama she was a part of,
At the time, it was reported Jenkins didn't appear due to a positive COVID test.
"Diana's very disappointed because she really wanted to be there in personally, especially for her first reunion," a source said to People.
"Unfortunately, she came back from Hawaii about a week ago and days later tested positive for COVID. She's still testing positive as of this morning, and won't be able to make it."
Jenkins' departure signals a significant shift for The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, which is set to begin filming in the coming weeks on its 13th season.
Lisa Rinna confirmed that she would not return earlier this month, ending her eight-season run on the show.
"This is the longest job I have held in my 35 year career and I am grateful to everyone at Bravo and all those involved in the series," Rinna said in a statement.
"It has been a fun eight-year run and I am excited for what is to come!"
It's unclear at this stage whether Kyle Richards, Sutton Strack, Garcelle Beauvais, Dorit Kemsley, or Crystal Kung Minkoff will be back.
Richards is considered a slam-dunk to return because she's been on every season.

It's the 25th Anniversary Year of our very first issue!
Celebrate with us and get our special Year 25 enews by signing up at the bottom of this page.
The inaugural issue of New Moon Girls was printed on March 21, 1993 at Service Printers in Duluth, MN. I vividly remember the excitement of that day.
For the previous 9 months a small group of girls ages 8-13 and a few dedicated adults worked closely together creating the premiere issue.
Finally, we were at the printer and watching the first 2,000 copies be printed and bound. I got chills holding a copy in my hands, and paging through reading girls' feelings, thoughts, opinions and experiences. Seeing their drawings, poems and stories. It was breathtaking.
Since then more than 1 million girls and a few adults worldwide have created, edited, read, written for, made art for, interned with, volunteered for, worked for and supported NMG in countless ways.
THANK YOU ALL from the bottom of my heart. You made this awesome dream a reality that's stood with girls, respected their voices and abilities, and supported them and their adult allies. NMG has been important in changing what the world expects of girls and how it values girls.
There are more changes we're working on together. True equity still doesn't exist for girls. Even so, today we're taking time to remember and feel proud of how much we've already helped change things for the better.
Did you or someone you know connect with us any time since 1992? We are excited to hear what you're doing now and to reconnect to jumpstart the next 25 years of bringing girls' voices to the world.
We want to feature you and your lives all year long as our inspiration and celebration! Sign up below for our special Year 25 enews to find out how.


Independence day is here! The day we remember those who fought for our independence in the past and honor our heroic military troops of the present. It's also a day we celebrate with our families and friends by doing everything from firing up the grill to attending explosive firework shows. No matter what we chose to do, Fourth of July celebrations are on the rise. With more than 67.6 percent of Americans planning to join in the festivities this holiday and with the Fourth of July falling in the middle of the week, many Americans plan to start their spending and celebrations earlier than usual. Our infographic shows you everything from how much Americans spend on Independence Day to how many millions of dollars in damage their personal firework celebrations are causing.
How do plan to spend the Fourth of July? Whatever you do, stay safe and remember our military troops.

Would mass drivers be able to transport base material on the moon more efficiently than drones?
I am a hobbyist working on a climate change adaptation idea that is a variation of orbital sun shades. It would project soil/material from the moon to provide targeted shading for whatever part of earth needs it most, mitigating some issues and helping land be healed. One aspect of the project (The Eclipse Project, TEP for short) is that the soil would be collected back on the moon for reuse after being projected from the moon. I am curious how efficient this system would be for transporting mined material from one part of the moon to another as compared to using delivery drones or a fixed system like rails. I am still in the early stages and do not have any hard math but I am confident about some aspects that could help in determining efficiency.
1) Mass drivers (the method currently at the top of projection methods) can be up to 80-90% energy efficient. 2) Soil would be launched in 5-15lb units shot at between 2.5 to 4 km/second (To account for both escape velocity and the desired speed of the material. Slower is better in that it reflects more material.) 3) Once the material is traveling through space it does not require any energy input. 4) While collecting the soil as it lands may be difficult the current idea is large metal dishes. When the material begins to make contact it will create a static charge which will attract the soil to the dish until it can be collected. 5) The goal is for 95% of material to make it to its destination (the clouds of soil would be knocked off course by space material sometimes and some will miss the dish). The dish would be a safe distance from anything that could be damaged but a short fixed method could be constructed for the final part of the journey. 6) Transport on the moon would require a lot of detours around craters and other obstacles.
This would only be efficient for transporting material a long way and it would take ~30 days tops (yes I know this is longer than a moon's orbit), but most of the time soil could be delivered in around 15-20 days. However, this would share considerable resources between the mining project and TEP and TEP could dispose of the unused material by projecting it via another array to create more shade.
I think this could make lunar colonization easier because the material could be collected anywhere before being sent via TEP to a central location for refinement and/or use or distribution to earth while sharing resources between projects. Any thoughts, comments, or links to resources would be appreciated.
EDIT: please note this would be a secondary purpose of TEP, not its primary objective. The mathematics to determine the efficiency may show conventional means being more efficient to a point but at some point projecting 60LB of material per minute per projector (A conservative amount) would be more efficient than hundreds of drones traveling hundreds of miles. The point of this question is to determine that line.

$\begingroup$ To the TEP idea as a solution for climate change: launching 10 lbs of material from the Moon takes about 10 MJ, plus the energy used to send material to the Moon, build the launch site, collect the material, and process it. launch it. I wonder if the Lunar energy needed to do all that would be better beamed to Earth to mitigate climate change directly by reducing fossil fuel use and powering carbon capture. And then there's the potential for use as an orbital bombardment weapon, accidental or otherwise. $\endgroup$
– Schwern
$\begingroup$ The material name you're after is "regolith" $\endgroup$
$\begingroup$ Catching a meteorite shower travelling at multiple kilometres per second sound like an interesting challenge, even leaving aside the rest of the issues. It seems pointless as well as being hazardous, technically challenging and therefore expensive. $\endgroup$
$\begingroup$ I think it would be more efficient to manufacture thin-film sunshades from regolith rather than using it by itself to provide shade. Using this system for moon-to-moon transport just seems like extra steps, minimizing delivery distance of construction materials for any building project is always a priority and sending the cheapest material (regolith) on the most expensive ride doesn't seem cost effective $\endgroup$
– Dragongeek
$\begingroup$ To Schwern, TEP would only be more efficient energy-wise at a certain distance. even if it took 30 MJ compare that with a donor rover, if it takes more than 30 MJ to get that 10 pounds 100 miles then that 100 miles start becoming the point where TEP may before efficient. At 1000 miles it may take more and more costly material to use drones, not to mention more moving parts means more points of failure along the entire stretch. At a certain distance, TEP would be less material and less energy. TEP may be more expensive but sharing resources would split the costs. $\endgroup$
– T.A. McKay
"Drones" usually refer to quadcopters--which will do absolutely nothing in space or on the moon.
Also, I can't imagine how you're planning to catch your blobs of regolith. At the speeds it will be approaching you'll need a very strong (which means very heavy) catcher to avoid being smashed. There's no gravity to hold it down, it's just going to splash back off your catcher.
I think you need to seriously redesign your idea.
Loren PechtelLoren Pechtel
$\begingroup$ "Drone" is almost always used to refer to unmanned aerial vehicles, which was certainly the origin of the term. Trying to expand the usage of the term into other contexts is pointless, confusing, and a bit of an uphill struggle. That said, in context it would be clear that the UAVs in question could not be propellor quadcopters. It seems reasonable to assume that the questioner is not an idiot. $\endgroup$
$\begingroup$ I have been using 'drone' as a term for a mostly Autonomous vehicle. Please let me know if there is a better term. The effect of static on loose material in space is pretty large. As regolith contains a lot of metal if it was being fired into a large hole of regolith, like a lunar crater, or a metal dish it would generate a lot of static. Gravity is ~17% of the earth which allows for some help, though the lack of atmosphere makes it harder. Shooting tons of material in a sputtering stream at one point would allow the material that floats up to collect with incoming regolith minimizing loss. $\endgroup$
$\begingroup$ I do acknowledge that there are design obstacles. This community has been welcoming and helped me with a few points. I will continue to post questions and help others with answers where I can. Just because there is a problem, however, doesn't mean I should quit without trying. This project has a lot of potential, the question is if realizing that potential is worthwhile. Combining resources makes that far more likly and is thus worthy if a looksie into. $\endgroup$
$\begingroup$ @T.A.McKay I don't think we have the ability to drive autonomously over the moon for substantial distances unless you build roads first. And you're way overestimating the effect of static--yes, it works well on dust which is really tiny, you're talking large masses. $\endgroup$
– Loren Pechtel
$\begingroup$ @Loren Pechtel, the regolith would be ground down to gravel size. Between the small size of the material, the ability for regolith to absorb some of the impacts, gravity, and static I would be surprised if significant amounts of material would escape something several dozen meters tall. It is something to look into. Autonomous vehicles are easier to program for the moon than earth roads. So, while we don't have the ability ATM if we had a reason to give it a good attempt we could probably have that in a few years without too many issues. The technology exists it just hadn't been adapted. $\endgroup$

Today, I'm going to let you guys in on a little (big) secret (it's really not that secret…).
But Nick, If you don't pay your taxes, you'll go to jail!
"Hi, I'm Nick and I'm a shopaholic".
That's right, the instant gratification "drug". Also known as the "feel-good hormone".
So now we know, why we (humans) love to buy stuff. But our shopping-impulses are also highly influenced by external sources, primarily being advertisements/commercials, but they are also controlled by our inherent need to "fit in".
The "Advertisement and marketing" industry is a trillion dollar industry. A trillion dollars! Imagine if governments across the world decided over night to ban all form of public advertising. What would happen?!
When I talk to people about my FIRE project (it happens a lot, according to my wife), they often react as though I've just told them that they can't have coffee again. Ever. Are you crazy?! Why, Nick?! WHY?!
Then I try to explain that I'm not trying to deprive myself of life's luxuries. I'm merely trying to optimize my life and my time. Whenever I choose to buy something, I'm essentially paying for that item with my time (time that I've spent at work, earning that money).
I'm all about the balance (pun intended), so it's time for some lofty thoughts, numbers, pie charts and maybe a(nother) pun or two (we'll see about that!).
When I started this blog back in September 2018, and wrote my first post I really didn't have a clue what I was doing or where I was going (this is the honest truth!). I had red alot of other FIRE blogs, and thought it would be a good idea, to create my own blog, so I could follow (and allow others to follow) my progress towards FI.
A little over 3 months later, here we are! I wrote 16 blog posts since, and I grew my Total Balance by more than 15%! Granted, the main reason for the nice growth, was due to a double-salary payment back in November. None the less, keeping my eye on the ball, and writing the monthly updates really helps me kind of "keep myself in check".
There comes a time in every FIRE starters blogging career (career – really?) where you have to make a post about, how you – in your infinite wisdom – manage to save up all that money, which you then use to invest, and ultimately retire early, living off of your investments!
OK, grandpa – was that the (infinitely wise) advice you were going to give us?!?

Farmer condemns cattle passport rules over bullock's slaughter
A farmer has been forced to slaughter a healthy bullock because he couldn't prove exactly when it had been born.
Cattle passports, administered by the British Cattle Movement Service, were introduced in 1996 so that the movement of each individual animal can be traced throughout its life Photo: ALAMY
By Murray Wardrop
7:30AM BST 26 Oct 2010
The meat from the animal had to be discarded because a failure to record its birth date meant it was denied documents allowing it to enter the food chain.
Farmer Richard Guy, 56, from Heytesbury, near Warminster, Wilts, said it was "savage" that the bullock's life and about half a ton of beef had to be wasted due to government bureaucracy.
Regulations introduced to eradicate BSE mean all British cattle must be granted a 'cattle passport' within 27 days of being born.
However Mr Guy missed the animal's arrival in Spring 2008 because he was nursing his wife during a bout of pneumonia while also looking after his terminally ill mother-in-law.
Only six months later did he notice that a member of the herd on his vast farm was not wearing the requisite ear tag to show it had been registered.
Morrisons' farm gets royal seal of approval
Deadly cattle disease eliminated
Despite DNA tests proving approximately when the calf was born and that its parents did not have BSE, the authorities ordered it could never be sold or eaten.
"He's had a good life but sadly just a wasted death," said Mr Guy as the bullock was slaughtered.
"It's sickening to see an animal's life and half a ton of prime Aberdeen Angus beef completely wasted simply because of bureaucracy and red tape."
He added: "The bullock was born not only from an animal that couldn't have had BSE but it was also born in a period when it was out of danger itself.
"There are numerous dodgy ways of obtaining a cattle passport but I'm an honest man and wanted to follow the proper process.
"But in the end the system completely screwed us and failed the animal because there was no room for common sense."
Cattle passports, administered by the British Cattle Movement Service, were introduced in 1996 so that the movement of each individual animal can be traced throughout its life.
EU rules stipulate that the animal's birth must be registered within seven days and the passport applied for within a further 20 days to ensure that all cattle are under the correct age of 30 months when they are slaughtered.
If an application is late and therefore refused, the animal must either be slaughtered or kept on the farm where it was born, and must not enter the food chain.

Hi Ankit - happy to report that a new version of our Python Client (2.4.1) has been deployed with a fix for this. If you upgrade to that you should see the error go away.
Thank you very much @jared - Code is working fine now.
Hi how do I do the upgrade?
Hi. Everything was working fine untill I did an upgrade to the latest version of Clarifai (2.6.0) and now I get the same error as above. Is this a known issue?
Hi @Sebastiaan! Are you getting the "train_stats" error in the first message of this thread or the one below?

Williams breaks all-time record for Grand Slam match wins
Published time: 4 Sep, 2016 13:57 Edited time: 3 Aug, 2018 12:18

Serena Williams surpassed Martina Natratilova for the most women's Grand Slam match wins, with a dominant 6-2, 6-1 victory over Sweden's Johanna Larsson in the fourth round of the US Open.
Williams' success took her to 307, one ahead of Navratilova and equal with Roger Federer's mark for men.
"To be up there with both men and women is something that's super rare, and it actually feels good," Williams said.
"I was really excited to reach that, was it 306? 307? I was really excited to do that. Something I didn't even know about until Wimbledon.

"I was like, 'Oh, I have a new goal!' That was pretty cool for me. Obviously I want to keep that number going higher and see what can happen."
Williams appears likely to edge ahead of Federer on Monday when she faces Yaroslava Shvedova of Kazakhstan in the round of 16. Shvedova is yet to beat Williams in four attempts.
The American star is also looking to eclipse Steffi Graf's record of 22 Grand Slam tournament wins after drawing level with the German with her victory over Angelique Kerber at Wimbledon.
A shoulder problem contributed to Williams' third-round exit at the hands of Elina Svitolina of Ukraine at the Olympics, but she believes she fit enough to finally edge past Graf.
"[My shoulder] definitely feels solid. I'm doing a lot of work on it so I can keep it in this position," she added.
"Definitely not going to stop doing all the rehab and therapy, so I don't want to go down.
"It's pretty good. It's a lot of post-match stuff, stuff I'm not really excited about, but at the end of the day I think it's good for me."
Williams is seeded to face Kerber in the final, which would be a showdown for the No. 1 world ranking.
A Williams victory would keep her at the top of the pile and see her beat Graf's record of 186 consecutive weeks at No. 1.
The two have met eight times previously, with Williams winning six of those matches.
Ominously for the rest of the players left in the tournament, Williams thinks she can still step up a level.
"I feel OK," Williams said. "Obviously I don't feel like I'm Serena out there yet, but hopefully she'll come around the second week."

Samsung's Gear 360 Camera Official Release Date
Dan T April 28, 2016 360 CameraVR News
Samsung's Gear 360 Camera is going to go on sale tomorrow. The device was initially revealed in February this year, but we had heard nothing of a release date until yesterday at Samsung's developer conference.
Other than technical info, Samsung has been sparse on the release details as of yet, not even giving away the game on price. However, one retailer currently has it advertised for $399.99 which could give us a decent indication.
Despite there being a lot of new VR 360 cameras coming to the market, this is one of the cheapest we've seen so far. The low price of this device is great news because as 360 cameras become cheaper and more accessible, we are going to see an influx of 360 content. The camera should perfectly accompany the Gear VR to make for a more immersive viewing experience.
The following video of the Gear 360 has been provided by the team at The Verge:
The keynote went on to explain their vision for the future of VR and the areas that they are trying to improve including: weight, dizziness, image quality, insufficient computing power, restricted mobility and limited input control. Samsung have already revealed that they are working on a pair of headphones that simulate the feeling of movement that should help to counteract dizziness and nausea.

Kadjebi District Assembly falls short in revenue mobilisation
The Kadjebi District Assembly in the Volta Region is struggling to undertake social projects as it is unable to meet its internally generated fund targets.
The district is known for the production of varied food crops, however, the assembly is unable to mobilize enough revenue from the numerous vibrant market centres, business entities and residents.
As at the end of August 2018, the assembly was only able to accrued GHC56,050 out of the GhC386,090 targeted for the year.
The District Chief Executive, Maxwell Asiedu, lamented the development has crippled the assembly's ability to deliver on its responsibilities and undertake projects.
"I wish to indicate that one of the reasons for the low collection of revenue is largely due to ineffective functioning of the Area and Town Councils of the assembly", he said when addressing the General Assembly Meeting on Thursday.
He, however, implored assembly members to revive the Town and Area Councils and ensure they deliver their mandated responsibilities, including revenue mobilization.
"If there are problems, the assembly members should bring them to the attention of my office for immediate solution", he added.
Mr Asiedu also noted that among other things, the assembly has established 4 groups to supervise and implement some mechanisms aimed at helping increase revenue mobilization in the district.
"The assembly is unable to generate enough funds internally because it has failed to go to the people. But now we have strategized and will send officials to the field to collect taxes and levies, especially property rate. We are optimistic the assembly will get a substantial amount by the end of the year."
Indebtedness
Mr Asiedu further indicated that his predecessor left a debt of GhC2.3mln, out of which his administration has managed to pay off 90%.
This, he said placed the assembly in a difficult position to undertake new projects, adding that though the assembly wishes to meet the development demands of the district, it is being careful not to incur extra debt.
"We will only award contracts when we receive our common fund or when funds are available, I am doing so to ensure I don't leave debt behind for my successor", he explained.

Rapper's Delight: A Jewish Lawyer
Home / Latest / Rapper's Delight: A Jewish Lawyer
by Thea Johnson October 3, 2013 in Latest, Uncategorized
A friend recently sent me a YouTube video entitled "Rappers Love Jewish Lawyers." The mash-up consisted of more 25 rap songs that referred to Jewish lawyers in one way or another, mostly positively ("I had a Jewish lawyer/and he aced the case," "young Jewish bulldog/keeping the case right," "a good Jewish lawyer/turn a 10 to a 2-4.") Everyone from Jim Jones to Kanye West is rapping about their Jewish lawyers, putting them somewhere between women in hot tubs and money to toss among the things rappers want.
This desire for a Jewish lawyer has fascinated me for a long time. First, I'm a Jew. (Despite the name Johnson, I'm Jewish–the product of a Jewish woman and a North Dakotan, who converted for marriage). Second, I'm a lawyer, and for three years I was a public defender in Manhattan. I've heard the request for a Jewish lawyer on many occasions, almost exclusively from African-American defendants. They often didn't want a Johnson, but rather a Horowitz or a Silverman.
I remember transferring a case to an attorney with the last name Levy and watching my client practically jump out of his seat with joy. Another client refused to speak to me because he wanted the "Hebrew" attorney who had represented him the last time he was in court. And once, during a tense trial preparation session with my supervisor and a client, my supervisor stepped out, leaving my client and me to continue discussing the case alone. My client, a charming man who had had a few too many drinks and drove the wrong way down a major avenue in Manhattan a few months prior, turned to me and noted solemnly that we would really have to prepare for this case because the Assistant District Attorney looked like a Jew. I nodded, unsure how to respond. I wanted to say, "Oh, we're all Jewish. I'm Jewish, my supervisor is Jewish, his supervisor is Jewish. If it's Jews you want, you got 'em!" Instead, I assured him we were preparing diligently.
It was hard to know what he meant by the comment. Do African-American defendants–both indigent and rich–want Jewish lawyers (and, by extension, fear them as adversaries) because they think Jews are smart and hard-working, or because they think Jews are clever manipulators who will do anything to get ahead?
There's been a lot written about anti-Semitic perceptions of Jewish lawyers that seems to indicate the latter, but I want to make an argument for the former. Or, at least, that the case isn't so clear. I never experienced a word of anti-Semitism from any of my clients. I often shared information about myself with them–that I couldn't calendar a case for a certain week because it was Rosh Hashanah; that I had just returned from a vacation in Israel to visit family; or, in answer to the surprisingly frequent inquiry about whether I believe in God, I would say yes, but not that Jesus is my savior. I generally adored my clients, even the ones who requested new counsel based on religion.
And while I'm sure that there are some negative feelings about Jews that motivate these requests, I also think there is a sense that Jews are outsiders who fight like hell against the establishment. There are Jewish district attorneys, to be sure, but I would bet there are twice as many Jewish public defenders and defense attorneys. And I don't think that's lost on the communities who find themselves in the vice grip of the criminal justice system. In many ways, I perceived that wanting a "Jewish" lawyer was almost disconnected from the lawyer actually being Jewish. The client who requested his former "Hebrew" attorney then objected to me being a woman once I assured him I was a Jew. In some ways, "Jewish" becomes a stand-in for "white male," in a world in which white males hold nearly all the power. As one former colleague noted, in this sense the request is a strategic choice, especially for a black man who knows that race is a huge factor in court and that the cards are already stacked against him. Sometimes "Jewish" is just an adjective for someone who gets the job done, who turns "a 10 into a 2-4." Another colleague of mine still recalls a warm and effusive letter she received from a client thanking her for her good work and telling her that if she continued to work hard she could one day be a Jewish lawyer.
This is certainly a complex topic. It involves issues of history, education and race relations. No one gets that more than a public defender. But my point is to challenge some of the negative and dismissive reactions I've heard to the "Rappers Love Jewish Lawyers" video. Yes, the first time a client asked me to get him a Jewish lawyer, "anti-Semitism!" rung in my head. Over time, I realized the issue wasn't quite so clear. When Jadakiss and Cam'ron rap about having a Jewish lawyer by their side, that has an effect on their listeners. And the effect isn't exactly one of anti-Semitism. In many ways, it reflects a strange relationship that actually exists in courtrooms across the country. There is no doubt in my mind that the criminal justice system in the United States is racist. As a result, poor black men find themselves defendants in criminal cases every day. By law, they must have a lawyer. That lawyer is not infrequently Jewish. Blacks and Jews are, by choice (if you're a famous and wealthy rapper) or not (if you're everyone else), slogging through the criminal justice system together. Ultimately, these sorts of realities, more than hot tubs and throwing bills, are the stuff of great rap songs.
Thea Johnson is a Thomas C. Grey Fellow at Stanford Law School. She was formerly a public defender with The Legal Aid Society in Manhattan.

Who says the justice system is racist?
People say the stop and frisk program is racist too.
But if you actually look at the statitics, not a popular thing to do for left-wing demagogues, you'd see that blacks and hispanics are actually understopped in proportion to the crimes they commit.
There are some racially-tinged laws, perhaps most notoriously the drug laws which make no sense, but to just say that all blacks are victims of a giant racist conspiracy is lazy thinking, if it's thinking at all.
As for Jewish lawyers. I guess it's a compliment. Even someone cunning is, by extension, clever.
But what I found weirdly missing from your article was the cultural aspect.
If you look at the beginnings of hip hop, most of the music executives who were knee-deep in pushing it out to the broader American public were Jewish. Not just the execs of the major music labels but also those who had a nische interest in hip-hop and had the resources and the means to create a record label were often Jewish.
For black hip-hop artists to ask for Jewish lawyers should only be second nature; they've been negotiating with Jewish music executives for decades, who often employ Jews as their own lawyers and those lawyers later work for their clients's clients, meaning the black hip-hoppers.
In any event, the relationship, as it has been from the beginning, is marked by a paternalistic undercurrent. Jews are the managers, the lawyers and the music execs. Blacks are the performers who often end up in jail or broke.
The ADL says that African-Americans have the highest levels of anti-Semitism of all American communities.
And notably, unlike every other community where higher levels of education correlates with lower levels of anti-Semitism, in the black community it's reversed. The more educated they are, the more likely they are to hold anti-Jewish animus.
My guess is that they see the unequal relationship between the two groups and what they see is a deep chasm between the rhetoric and the actual behaviour.
Put it another way: when even black Jews who've converted to Judaism are often made to be felt isolated – read Erica Davis' harrowing accounts in the Forward for example – I think many blacks see Jews as a group who sympathize publicly with blacks but in the end, move, live and more deeply identify with the upper-class whites who run the country, who control the major corporations, the major media, who are governors and most the senators. Jews have done exceedingly well in this group, and I suppose that also builds some resentment.
Or as Time Magazine put it already in the late 60s as the alliance was falling apart: the blacks saw social justice slogans being bandied about from the Jewish community while at the same time fleeing into the lily-white suburbs or segregating in the Upper West Side.
In general, too little is written about the relations between Jews and other minorities in this country. The Jewish organizations are still too obsessed about Israel and have more or less abdicated their role in domestic policies save for a few critical functions, like monitoring anti-Semitism and similar issues.

Last month, US District Court Judge Shira Scheindlin slammed the New York Police Department (NYPD) for its controversial 'stop-and-frisk' program. She called it "uncostitutional" and "policy of indirect racial profiling" that led officers to routinely stop "blacks and Hispanics who would not have been stopped if they were white."

My daughter Jaya had come on vacation from the States with her family – husband, a grown up son and a daughter. She expressed her desire to re-visit Juhu Beach with her children. It was almost 25 years back, at Juhu Beach she was swept into the sea due to high tide, when she was just 15 years old. She had gone with her friends after finishing her board exams to have fun at sea shore. She had entered the water,as the waves retreated and she further went into the sea. She was not knowing swimming. High rising tide, tossed her. Other girls started shouting " Bachao..Bachao (Help..Help)." There was no lifeguard seen around. Suddenly, one girl, who appeared to be a foreigner, swimming around, rushed towards my drowning daughter, caught hold of my her long hair, pulled her out to a safe area,pumped out the salt water from her stomach, with her quick and trained maneuver. It was only because of fast and prompt act of gratitude of this unknown angle, my daughter was saved.
Sunday at Juhu Beach as LIFE GUARD. In the next two years,she could save seven lives!
Later, she was married and joined her husband in US. Her love and zeal for swimming never diminished. She continued her swimming activity but not as LIFE GUARD, since in U.S. all public pools and sea shores are provided with licensed lifeguards. Jaya encouraged and ensured that her children are fully trained in swimming and champion in their schools in U.S. and always reminded her children, the importance of saving human life.
Today, she was again at Juhu Beach with her children in their swim suit. While sitting on sand, it appeared that Jaya was lost in old euphoria and sweet memories of past. Son Daksh and daughter Mehak had come out of water and were drying their body with towel. Suddenly panic-stricken shout was heard " BACHAO...... BACHAO . Jaya looked at Daksh and Daksh looked into his mother's eyes and understood her silent but expressive ordain. He rushed and leaped into the sea, Mehak followed to assist him and caught hold of the drowning girl and brought her to safe place on sand. One more life was saved. As usual there was no lifeguard around. Jaya hugged both her children with tears of happiness and thanked them for their act of bravery towards society.

Pumped up for Public Water
By Staff Report | July 2, 2008
The tide may be turning for water privatization.
Water supplies have already fallen out of private hands in developing nations such as Mali, Uruguay and Bolivia — and now the French are following suit.
Paris has pushed the trend forward by announcing that its water will go public for the first time in over a century, starting on Jan. 1, 2010.
The move follows similar measures enacted in over 40 other French communities in the last decade.
Privatized water services in the French capital will end when the city terminates its contract with Suez and Veolia, two of the world's largest water companies.
At issue are increased prices and decreased service, as well as corrupt business practices that eventually saw the jailing of both corporate executives and government officials in Grenoble's water district.
Suez was also ordered to repay Grenoble in 1999 for overcharging. In 2002, water there reverted to local control.
Suez and Veolia also run privatized water services in Argentina, Bolivia, Eastern Europe and the Philippines.

Q: Don't see my class "well" into "row" everybody.
I'm working on a well-class insertion and it worked perfectly in the lesson... Then I tried it for a project on my own but the "well" classes don't appear.
I do have my 2 x 3 buttons but they are not side by side as they should.
Normally, the "well" classes should appear as two rectangles side by side with 3  buttons inside each but they don't.
I only have my buttons 3 ones above the 3 others.
This is what I coded :

  CONTACT

            <button></button>
            <button></button>
            <button></button>

            <button></button>
            <button></button>
            <button></button>

Maybe I forgot something to activate Bootstrap properly ?
Has anyone an idea ?
Thanks in advance.
