Banjo, cricket, and 'Social Shanghai': Mina Shorrock, editor
Mina Shorrock, from Arnold Wright, ed., Twentieth Century Impressions of Hongkong, China etc (9108)
On the evening of 14 March 1921, forty members of the Wells Branch of the Women's Institute gathered to hear a talk on 'Life in China' delivered by 'Mrs Shorrock'. The talk was followed by a 'an enjoyable sing-song'; and Mrs Shorrock probably led the singing with a tune or two from her banjo. We know more about her role in the musical life of WI meetings in Somerset – 'minstrel' songs' were her specialty, alongside Scottish ones – than we do about her thoughts on 'Life in China', but it would be good to know more about her and what she thought, for Mina Shorrock was one of the earliest woman editors of any newspaper or periodical published in China.
That periodical was Social Shanghai, which commenced monthly publication in February 1906, initially aimed squarely at a female, foreign, 'society' readership. It rapidly broadened out its appeal, and it remains distinctive as the first foreign-language magazine published in China that took advantage of the technological developments that allowed substantial use of reproduced photographs in its pages. In fact this was a very strong part of its appeal and rationale. You bought it because you expected to be in it, or to know those who were, or you had left for 'home' and wanted to keep up. In turn it tried to guarantee sales by stuffing its pages with photographs of those who might purchase it. Mina was an imaginative promoter of her journal: it would be nice to see a photograph of the costume she wore to 'Mr Porter's Fancy Dress Ball' at the Country Club in March 1906, for she went dressed as 'Social Shanghai', while between 1908-1910 she parlayed the goodwill of the magazine's name into a 'Social Shanghai Tea Rooms' on the city's Kiangse Road. Surviving copies of the journal are now very rare. There is a good run in the Shanghai Library Rare Books collection at Xujiahui (the Zikawei Library), and an almost complete set in the G.E. Morrison Collection at the Toyo Bunko Library in Tokyo. Individual copies are held in some other libraries. The journal was discontinued after its November 1914 issue, by which time Mina Shorrock had landed back in the UK, where she lived until her death in 1938.
She died as Mina Shorrock, but was born Jemima Thomson Gow, the youngest daughter of a Glaswegian hotelier and wine merchant. Educated at Bellahouston Academy and at the Ladies' College, she married Samuel Hope Sharrock, a Blackburn-born businessman, in Edinbugh in 1888. In 1897 the couple moved to Shanghai, where her husband established 'Sam. H. Shorrock & Co.', described as 'Manufacturers' Representatives and Machinery Importers', with an office in Salford. Mina quickly established herself as a 'a very gifted and clever amateur vocalist'. On her first outing she gave the audience a fine rendition of Arthur Sullivan's 'Willow Song', and then, by way of encore — the first of many such – 'The bonnie banks of Loch Lomond'.
The musical contributions Mina Shorrock made are all we hear about her for some years. Sam Shorrock, an enthusiastic freemason, rapidly became a fixture in the elite world of foreign Shanghai, most notably after securing the agency for construction of the tram system in the international settlement, and was being tipped for a turn on the Municipal Council when he died suddenly of dysentery in September 1907. Settlement flags flew at half mast for this enthusiastic sportsman, who trained the local English team for the walking races that were all the rage, and who donated the 'Shorrock Cup' to the Shanghai Volunteer Corps. This shooting trophy was being competed for long after Mina Shorrock departed for home.
It was an unusual foreign woman who made a living before 1914 through an independent business venture in settlement Shanghai, or at least one that was not a boarding house, or – it has to be said — a brothel. (We know a fair bit about this latter world from the work of Eileen Scully). The only other resident woman journalist I am aware of in the latter part of the nineteenth century was Alicia Little ("Mrs Archibald J. Little"), nee Berwicke (1845-1926), novelist, photographer and frequent contributor to the North China Daily News. 'Journalist' is how Mina Shorrock described herself on various immigration forms as she travelled to North America and the UK in 1914. She also wrote, under the moniker 'Belle Heather', for the North China Daily News (a column on 'The Feminine Note' from 1904-1905), and for Sport and Gossip (which as far as I can see, survives nowhere).
It might be tempting to ignore the journal, for as I have described it so far it sounds insular and, frankly, superfluous as a record of Shanghai's history. But as a repository of photographs it provides a good additional visual record of the city, albeit with a strong focus on the activities of its foreign residents. We are unlikely to be enthused by the portraits of the 'Young Generation' — babies and youngsters — that were strategically inserted into its pages (and, one assumes, bought in multiples by happy parents), but one of its strands of interest was historical, and sometimes much older photographs were published, which were contributed by long-term residents and which I have not seen elsewhere. An example is this 1859 portrait, one of four of Chinese merchants apparently taken by silk trader W. G. Gordon (William Alexander Grant Gordon). Social Shanghai is worth taking seriously on this, and a number of other counts.
Mina Shorrock died in Horrington, just east of the Somerset cathedral town of Wells, where she had lived for at least 20 years, and where she was known for being 'a great friend to children'. She was cremated in Bristol a few days later. Shorrock's last recorded Chinese gesture was the making of a splash at the February 1925 'Hard Times' fancy dress dance in Horrington, which she had organised, and at which she arrived in the 'highly picturesque costume of a Buddhist priest from China'. A minor irony worth noting, is the prominence of fancy dress events in the social life of Shanghai's foreign community, some of the best visual records of which we can find in the pages of Social Shanghai. Little else survives to tell us much about her: there was a profile in an encyclopaedic 1908 survey of the treaty ports, which also provides the only photograph of Mina that I have encountered (not, thankfully, in 'Buddhist' garb).
There may be a little more to glean about her in the pages of Social Shanghai, but otherwise, aside from the occasional appearance on Somerset's Women's Institute stage, all we know is that Mina Shorrock, 'working hard alone and almost unaided', chronicled 'all the brighter phases of life' in Edwardian Shanghai through the heavy art paper pages of her magazine. (In fact, she did step back from editing it for 18 months in 1909-11, when the role was filled by an Australian, L. H. Drakeford, but then resumed charge). This is a shame, for it would be interesting to learn more about this banjo-playing journalist, who also, incidentally, organised Shanghai's first ever women's cricket match (in 1910): 'out-and-out duffers are not desirable', she wrote, calling on the ladies of Shanghai to pitch in, 'but one can never know what one can do till one tries'. This last thought seems to have been something of a guiding principle behind the activities of an engaging China coast entrepreneur.

More information and a review of the game can be found in MarkUp issue 11 (gmc).

We're here in New Orleans courtesy of Sears. They've invited Charles & Hudson to volunteer and participate in the Fifty for Five event (sponsored by Sears) on the 5th anniversary of hurricane Katrina and it's been an amazing experience.
Today we joined other volunteers from Rebuilding Together, many of whom have traveled from across the country, and started work on rebuilding/rehabbing 50 homes in 5 days. We were placed on prime and paint duty today. The homeowners have been displaced in Atlanta since hurricane Katrina and they are looking forward to returning to their home which is nearly complete. Their story is similar to many others who Rebuilding Together help.
We spent time painting with Walter, a life-long NOLA resident, and A.C., the lead Rebuilding Together affiliate from Indianapolis. A.C. shared the true mission of Rebuilding Together which is focused on helping homeowners preserve their home and all of the families and individuals they help fall into more than one of these categories: low-income, elderly, disabled and veterans of American military service.
As a NOLA native and raised in the 8th ward, Walter felt an investment in his community and continues to volunteer regularly throughout the year. He shared some of his experiences during and since hurricane Katrina and is focused on building for the future. He also shared some great restaurant recommendations which we can't wait to try.
We also had the opportunity to speak with another homeowner who was the 4th generation in her family to live in her home. Rebuilding Together is working to renovate her home from severe water damage and she was extremely thankful and kind to every single volunteer who she could make eye contact with. At 84 she still lives in a FEMA trailer and is ecstatic about moving home again to be near her friends and neighbors and the community she has been detached from for so long.
We're looking forward to meeting some of the other incredible volunteers as well as more of the gracious homeowners we're helping.

Q: Storage not properly linking in laravel So consider the following config:
    'registry_logo' => [
        'driver' => 'local',
        'root' => storage_path('app/public/registry_logo/'),
        'url' => env('APP_URL').'/storage',
        'visibility' => 'public',
    ],

Pretty basic, yes I have already ran php artisan storage:link
So now how do I store the logo that gets uploaded?
public function uploadLogo(UploadedFile $file, RegistrySettings $settings): void {
    $path = $file->store('registry_logo');

    $settings->registry_logo = $path;

    $settings->save();
}

This lives inside a service and the first argument is $request->registry_logo which is a file (a mandatory one - so we can assume its not null).
When the logo is uploaded the link thats generated is: http://127.0.0.1:8000/storage/registry_logo/iuKceIG6XC5b8P5YLh3zMRMWbqGaZikaRP6sMWew.png
So this seems fine, I fetch this via: Storage::disk('registry_logo')->url($registrySettings->registry_logo)])
Accept its not fine, lets look at two images:

As you can see there is no registry_logo folder in the linked storage, which makes no sense because:

It's there in storage. So whats going on? Why is it in the storage, but not linked properly? I have cleared the cache numerous times but when uploading it wont create the registry_logo link in the first image.
Sometimes, oddly enough, it will create the registry_logo folder but with nothing in it. Did I screw up the config? I am storing it properly, I know laravel likes the $request->file('file')->store('disk_name') but this way also works to upload a file, its just not linking properly and I am  wondering is that me - probably, but where could I look?
Thoughts?

A: The first parameter is the path to upload in the disk.

Call the store method with the path at which you wish to store the uploaded file:

You simply have to specify the disk that you want to store to in your second parameter.
$path = $file->store('', 'registry_logo');

Or you could do:
$path = Storage::disk('registry_logo')->putFile($file);

I wanted to feature some aspect of mythology associated with fireworks, what with the Fourth of July and all. The best I could come up with through Google was the Chinese hero and deity Li No-Cha, or Nezha. He fought monsters with wheels of fire, which he also rides on, and hence is sometimes featured on firecracker packets.
Picture by Smoldering075
No-Cha's parents were the military commander Li Jing and his wife Lady Yin, who lived during the Shang Dynasty. They already had two sons, Jinzha and Muzha. Lady Yin was pregnant with her third son for three and a half years, and had a dream in which a Taoist priest cursed her with giving birth to the child of a unicorn. When No-Cha was born, it was as a ball of flesh with a red glow. Li Jing initially thought the baby was a demon and tried to kill him, but a blow of his sword revealed a child wearing a bracelet and red pants. I've seen it said that he was already able to walk and talk, which must have saved his parents a lot of trouble. At the age of six, he was already six feet tall, and caused trouble when he dipped his pants into a stream and made it boil. Yes, apparently his pants were on fire, but I don't know whether that meant he was particularly untruthful. He was, however, quite impetuous, killing the messenger of the dragon who ruled the Eastern Sea when he went to investigate the boiling water, and then disemboweling the dragon king's son. Li Jing apologized to the Dragon King, whose name was Ao Guang, but No-Cha insisted on fighting the dragon until he surrendered.

Some sources provide some defense for No-Cha's vendetta by saying that the Dragon King had been demanding human sacrifices. Regardless, the king took revenge by kidnapping No-Cha's parents, and he agreed to commit suicide in return for their freedom. But you can't keep a good hero, or even a somewhat nasty hero, down, and No-Cha's teacher Taiyi Zhenren brought him back to life by building him a new body of lotus roots. He became even bigger in his new form, and was sometimes said to have grown to a height of sixty feet with three heads and eight arms.
Li Jing wasn't too happy about the resurrection, as his son had been such a troublemaker in his FIRST life. This led to bad blood between the two, and No-Cha tried to kill his father, but two warriors managed to subdue the son. One of the warriors gave Jing the power to trap No-Cha in a tower if he misbehaved, so from then on No-Cha could no longer afford to be antagonistic toward his dad. Eventually, No-Cha became a deity under the title of Third Lotus Prince, but he was outranked by his father, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King. No-Cha is called upon for protection against monsters and demons, which he fights with his bracelet and fire wheels. He is also sometimes said to be able to spit out clouds and rainbows. No-Cha appears in Journey to the West, as first an enemy and then an ally to Sun Wukong.
He's also been featured in movies, video games, and comics.
Depictions of him vary between the guy with the multiple heads and arms and his form as a child, in which he usually wears pigtails and a skirt.

Below you will find links to full courses and "skills courses". These are short courses that you can set up to practice specific skills.
Use training gates to create straight positions and barrels to create a circle & remind the dog to keep his rear in toward the handler.
Both dog and the handler change positions in this course. There are also some path changes for the team along with 3 stations next to each other!
When practicing this course, focus not only on the dog passing thru your legs but on where he ends up and whether he is meeting the criteria of that position.
Reward your dog more generously and frequently for getting into and remaining in position than you would for passing thru your legs. This will help the dog understand that it's not just about passing through your legs but the behavior includes moving into a specific position, such as left or right side heel. In the intermediate levels that may include center position as well.
For many of us, our performance sport training includes a lot of left side heelwork. From young puppies or from the time we first started working with our dogs, we've worked to create a lot of value in the left side of the handler. It can be easy to create so much value and muscle memory that the dog may have difficulty working on the right side.
In Rally-FrEe, not only does the dog need to work on the left and right side of the handler but in front of and behind the handler as well. All 4 of these positions need to be not only familiar to our dogs but comfortable to remain in not only going forward but in any direction and with some duration.
In practicing a course the other day I realized that Kashi's right side work was not as confident as it had been just a few weeks ago, and I realized that as much as I try to work her on all 4 sides on a regular basis, I too tended to default to having her on my left more often than the other positions.
So time to spend a little more time on right side heelwork! Have Fun!
Sample Novice course. This is a full course.


Warm your cockles with this mouth-watering duck cassoulet dish bursting with flavour and deeply satisfying.
Penrose Kitchen is an award-winning restaurant on the outskirts of Truro. Serving a prestigious menu packed full of freshly cooked seasonal produce, the restaurant champions delicious food and drink, coupled with great hospitality and served alongside the beautiful surroundings of tranquil lily ponds. This recipe promises to be a warming meaty feast, full of flavour and exquisite produce.
In separate bowls of cold water, soak the dried beans and ham hock for 12 hours, changing the bean water three times.
In a large frying pan, heat 30g of the duck fat over a medium heat, add the onions and cook slowly until caramelised, about 10-15 minutes.
Reduce the heat, add the garlic and cook for a further 10 minutes, or until the mixture is close to a purée consistency. Remove from the heat and set aside.
In another large saucepan, place the drained haricot beans, ham hock, carrots, onion quarters, bay leaves, thyme and red wine. Cover with water, about an inch above the beans. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and leave to simmer for 1 hour during this period.
Drain the beans, reserving the cooking liquor, and place into a large bowl. Discard the herbs and onion quarters and remove the bone from the ham hock, reserving the meat.
Heat half of the remaining duck fat in a large saucepan, over a high heat. Once hot, add the sausages and cook until browned all over. Remove the sausages and leave to drain on kitchen paper.
In a large earthenware cassoulet dish, spoon the bean mixture in. Add the sausages, duck and back bacon rashers.
Pour enough reserved bean cooking liquor over the top so that everything is just covered.
Cook for 4 hours but check after 2 hours to ensure the liquor hasn't evaporated, if so top it up with a little water.
The cassoulet is ready when the crust is deeply caramelised and a knife goes through the beans easily when inserted. Sprinkle with the chopped parsley and serve.

Longest-Lasting Cars to Reach 200,000 Miles and Beyond
Toyota's Prius is the only other hybrid, and the only other non-utility vehicle, to display this level of reliability. The Avalon provides a spacious interior and serves as a capable and comfortable alternative for those seeking a reliable family hauler without the third row of seating, capable towing, and higher fuel bill of a large SUV. As a car owner it's important to remember that, regardless of the vehicle, proper maintenance and care is the best way to extend how long a vehicle lasts. Toyota's Avalon is the one and only traditional sedan to make the list, and the vehicle to climb the most spots since last year, jumping from thirteenth to sixth in our longest-lasting vehicle rank. The study specifically looked at which models had the highest percentage of cars reaching at least 200,000 miles.
The remaining above-average brands are all American, with Chevrolet ranking third, Cadillac ranking fourth, GMC ranking fifth, Ford ranking sixth, and Ram ranking seventh.
Most Reliable Cars Are a Mix of Vehicle Types Led by Full-Size SUVs
p> Consumers can buy any of these models with confidence in their roomy interiors, strong towing capacities, and long-term reliability. The Prius has developed a loyal following seeking a practical vehicle with low maintenance costs and high fuel efficiency. Including the Suburban, a total of six American full-size SUVs make the list: the fourth-ranked Ford Expedition, the seventh-ranked Chevrolet Tahoe, the tenth-ranked GMC Yukon XL, the twelfth-ranked GMC Yukon, and the fifteenth-ranked Lincoln Navigator. While they have six different names, these six SUVs all spring from two full-size truck chassis — one from General Motors and one from Ford.
Pickup trucks often serve as work vehicles, and are likely to accrue more miles than a typical passenger car while commonly benefitting from more consistent preventative maintenance and necessary repairs. "Toyotas account for the majority of the top ten longest-lasting cars and is the most represented automaker, validating the brand's reputation for building enduring and reliable vehicles," said iSeeCars Executive Analyst Karl Brauer. "While trucks and truck-based SUVs dominate the list, two Toyota hybrids and the Avalon sedan also make the list, confirming there is a reliable Toyota available for a wide range of consumers." On average, pickup trucks are almost twice as likely to reach 200,000 miles, with a 1.9 percent average for the segment compared to the 1 percent average for all vehicles. iSeeCars analyzed over 11.8 million cars sold in 2020 to determine which models best demonstrate longevity and reliability. Another truck-based, body-on-frame Toyota model, the full-size Sequoia SUV https://cars45.com/listing/lexus/gs/2019, takes the second spot on our list. These brands all feature long-lasting SUVs and pickups, contributing to their above-average ranking. With 11.2% of Sequoias reaching 200,000 miles, this model is more than twice as likely to reach 200,000 miles as the third-ranked car on the list, Chevrolet's Suburban.
Although full-size SUVs and pickup trucks are the vehicles most likely to reach 200,000 miles, there are still options for consumers who want an enduring vehicle outside of these categories, including sedans and hybrids.

Nnamdi Asomugha is making a case for himself as a producer
The former NFL star has already produced 'Beasts of No Nation' and 'Harriet'
Up Next From Culture
Producer Nnamdi Asomugha arrives for the premiere of the movie 'Harriet' during the 44th annual Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) in Toronto, Canada on Sept. 10. EPA
By Kelley L. Carter	@KelleyLCarter
Nnamdi Asomugha is always up for a challenge.
He most certainly was back when he was an NFL star during his 11-year career, running cornerback, which is surely one of the most challenging defensive positions in the game.
That same spirit has come in handy as Asomugha continues his navigation in the world of Hollywood — as an actor who nabbed an Independent Spirit Award for best supporting male and an NAACP Image Award for outstanding supporting actor in a motion picture in his first starring role in 2017's Crown Heights.
But this year, Asomugha's biggest hits are in what he's doing behind the scenes.
He's making a case for himself as a producer in two films that are making waves in Hollywood. He served as an executive producer in Harriet, which is calling actress Cynthia Erivo's depiction of the abolitionist inspired and award-worthy, and the film itself overperformed by debuting to $11.7 million.
Nnamdi Asomugha relies on everything he learned from football Read now
And this month he is the power behind another real-life story that happens to be one of Apple TV+'s first films, The Banker, which stars Samuel L. Jackson and Anthony Mackie.
Being a film producer was born out of curiosity. He did a short film some years ago and caught a bug. And he seized the opportunity to produce Beasts of No Nation, a war drama film that helped pave the way for Netflix to make an aggressive play for Academy Award nominations. But four of the largest theater chains in the United States announced that they would boycott the film because it was also released on the streaming platform within 90 days, which made getting a top nomination tricky. Still, Idris Elba's work was phenomenal in that film and he won the Screen Actors Guild award for best supporting actor, and became the first film actor to win a SAG award without being nominated for an Oscar.
Point being, Asomugha has excellent taste when it comes to selecting projects to work on.
"You've got so many people that are jumping into this business that have gone to school for it and have dedicated their lives to it. And from the time that they were 12 years old, they knew this was what they wanted to do," Asomugha said. "Whereas my whole mindset was football, and that's what I want to do and that's where I am, and I'm going to do that till I'm 100 years old. And then when it's time to leave the game, trying to jump into a profession where there are seasoned veterans that are experienced at it, you have to try to find your way into the door. And I said, 'Well, let me just create my own way and see if that works out.' "
Should Harriet get an Oscar nomination, he'll be the second former athlete to be nominated, the first being Kobe Bryant, who won for his 2017 animated short Dear Basketball.
Asomugha has been working behind the scenes since 2015, but this year has been remarkable.
"Nnamdi's the best — he is just one of the sharpest, smartest dudes I've ever met. He's got great taste. That's why he's so sought after as a producer," said Leslie Odom Jr., who co-stars in Harriet. "They went after him. They went after Nnamdi to join this creative team. And it's because he's got such great taste. And he'll tell you the truth and he'll give you notes."
Asomugha isn't someone who invests money in films without a creative curiosity in the project.
"I really think that Nnamdi feels like producing is as much about changing people's hearts and minds with important stories than it is about being in Hollywood and walking the red carpet. Which he also does at every level," said film producer Daniela Taplin Lundberg, whom Asomugha considers his mentor. "But I think Nnamdi is someone who is in the edit room, who is on set, who is making sure that the film is coming in on budget, who is interacting with all the key players in a film and he's really not a show-off."
She added: "I think a really good producer identifies something, the potential in something, and is able to bring it to a place where it has all the necessary components and the script is in the right place and you have the right filmmaker and then possibly brings on partners. To me, he's willing to roll up his sleeves, which you don't always see."
And because he works as an actor, he gets it. In 2020, he'll star alongside Tessa Thompson in Sylvie, a period piece romantic film that's set in the Harlem jazz scene. He also produced Sylvie.
"When it comes to producing and acting [I] come to them both in a leadership way," Asomugha said. "What I'm trying to say is, they're both selfless positions. They might seem like they are positions of power and control. But for me, I come from it from a different point of view and how can I help the team."

In the case of Harriet, a story about a black woman, directed by a black woman, produced by a black woman and co-written by a black woman, that required understanding and how to better amplify the importance and significance of that moment.
"I get the sense that Nnamdi's a feminist, and that's superimportant. But he just has always really gotten it, really gotten the vision, which is great. It's been great to work with him," said Harriet director and co-writer Kasi Lemmons.
"I came from what I believe is the ultimate team sport, where no one person is above another person, in order for the train to move forward and get to the destination you want to get to. Everyone has to do the marching and has to be working together and the common goal," he said. "It's similar in that way that it's just such a team effort. And so I was blessed to have a majority of my life be all about the team. So that I could come into a position where I'm making projects, and I know that I lead with it being about the team versus it being about myself."

Mix the sugar powder and maida and then add the ghee. Mix well to make a dough with your hands until its smooth and you can make nice small rounds.
Pre heat the oven to 350 and bake for 10 min on a greased tray ( I used just plain old Aluminum foil).
You have to be extremely careful and remove the biscuits before they start to turn brown since they finish cooking when removed. I slightly burnt my first batch so the second I was extremely careful and removed the second one the minute it started to dry on the out.


While the Whataburger Basketball Tournament is a special weekend for fans, it's no easy task to organize. For 37 years, Tom Rogers has made it happen.
Rogers first became involved with the tournament in 1974 when he joined the Lions Club and began volunteering at the then-16-year-old tournament. When the tournament needed someone to take it over seven years later, he volunteered to step up.
Though this raised the costs and prompted the need for corporate sponsorships, expanding the playing field was a game-changer and ushered in the next season of the tournament. Whataburger began sponsoring the tournament in 1985.
Thirty-seven years brings with it a lot of memories. Rogers recalled the 1987 tournament, when Los Angeles Crenshaw was playing Fort Worth Dunbar in the heated finals match. Ten players signed Division I scholarships that year.
With the tournament taking place every year right after the holidays, and all of Rogers' children involved with the tournament, one could only presume it's had an effect on his family's holiday traditions. However, he says it totally "goes as normal" – the family just stays in their hometown of Fort Worth for the holidays.
Each tournament takes well over a year to coordinate, and it's a family affair for the Rogers Clan. Daughter Robyn coordinates the activities at the W.G. Thomas Coliseum, son Rusty covers social media, and youngest son, Randy, who's in the military, helps out wherever he can when he's home for the holidays. Sarah Rogers (Tom's wife) heads up the hospitality room to make sure all the coaches and scouts are fed.
More than 30,000 spectators, including college scouts and coaches, are expected to take part in the action-packed three-day tournament which kicks off Thursday, Dec. 27 through Saturday, Dec. 29, where 3,000 Whataburgers are consumed each year.

Siblings criticize Lee Kun-hee for harsh inheritance remarks
The inheritance dispute among Samsung's siblings flared as Chairman Lee Kun-hee's older brother and sister released statements attacking him yesterday.
"I was deeply embarrassed by Kun-hee's childish remarks and am worried about Samsung's future," said Lee Maeng-hee, the first son of the late Samsung founder Lee Byung-chull, in a statement released by the Hwawoo law firm. "He has been causing disharmony among siblings, always being greedy."
Maeng-hee asserted that Kun-hee had been hiding inherited shares under other people's names, which he said was proof of his greed.
Maeng-hee has demanded in a lawsuit in February that Kun-hee return 710 billion won ($623 million) worth of shares in Samsung Insurance and Samsung Electronics. The older brother claimed Kun-hee had the shares secretly incorporated into his assets through borrowed-name accounts.
"I sued Kun-hee, not because I want to get Samsung back, but to correct wrongdoing by uncovering the truth," the 81-year-old said.
Lee Sook-hee, the fourth child and second daughter of the founder, joined her brother's public campaign, releasing a statement through the same law firm. "When I heard Chairman Lee refer to us as 'uncivilized people below common standards,' I was infuriated," she said in the release. "I haven't received a single penny of the inherited property, and I never agreed to let Kun-hee manage the hidden shares because I didn't know about it at all. I just want my shares, not his, which the chairman has been hiding for the past 25 years."
Their statements followed an impromptu interview Chairman Lee Kun-hee gave to the press on the way to his office last week, his first public statement about the inheritance dispute.
Meanwhile, CJ, run by Chairman Lee Jay-hyun, the only son of Lee Maeng-hee, has decided to stop using a Samsung subsidiary as its security service contractor and appoint a foreign company.
An official at the food conglomerate confirmed Friday the group's decision to sign a new contract with U.S.-based ADT Caps to guard Chairman Jay-hyun's residence in Jangchung-dong, central Seoul, and his offices in Namsan, Chungmuro, in central Seoul and Sangam-dong, in the western part of the capital, from next month.
"The one-year contract with Samsung's S-tec System and S1 has expired," the official said.
All subsidiaries of the group will have new contracts with ADT Caps when their current deals with the Samsung security units end.
CJ has renewed its contracts with the Samsung subsidiaries for the chairman's security until recently.
It's widely presumed that the decision is associated with the recent legal battle between CJ and Samsung over the alleged tailing of CJ chief Lee by an official at Samsung C&T.
"It seems that CJ remains suspicious of Samsung's involvement in the tailing case, leading it to conclude it can't trust Samsung in security work," an anonymous industrial official said.

This article is a translation of "Geen Nederlandse F-16's als 'geruststellingsmaatregelen' naar het Balticum"
Today Oorlog is geen Oplossing.nl has sent the following letter to the permanent committee of defence of the Second Chamber of Parliament.
Last Friday, 23 May 2014, the Secretary of Defence told the Chamber in the Annotated agenda of the Nato ministerial council in Brussels of 3 and 4 June 2014 that the Dutch government has the intention per 1 September to make four F-16s available to the Baltic Air Policing programme that has been upgraded by a factor three last month, in the framework of the 'measures to reassure the eastern allies' agreed by NATO.
In our previous letter to your Chamber, Willen we echt een oorlog? Dan de NAVO-ramkoers blijven volgen, of 22 April last, we already pointed at the uncompromising policy which the United States is pursuing in the conflict in Ukraine, and which has time and again cut across European attempts to arrive at a settlement. We also outlined in that letter that the stationing of NATO troops in the new, central and east European NATO member states, are in violation of chapter IV of the NATO-Russia Founding Act agreed in 1997, in which Russia accepted the accession to NATO of its previous allies and former Soviet republics.
In our view there is not the slightest evidence that the Baltic states or Poland would effectively have to deal with an enhanced threat from Russia as a consequence of the developments in and around Ukraine. However, by implementing the so-called 'measures to reassure the eastern allies', NATO actually reinforces the suggestion of such an intensified Russian threat, evoked by certain forces in the region. Thus the decision increases the sense of insecurity, not only for the north-eastern NATO allies but also for the Russian neighbours who have reason to view the reinforced presence of NATO on their border as a threat too.
In other words, there is not a single military reason for deploying Dutch F-16s to the Baltic; it is in reality a purely symbolic act supposedly intended to 'reassure' but in fact provoking or intensifying, on both sides of the border between Russia and the NATO area, instability and tension.
To this we add that deployment of Dutch F-16s in the Baltic does not in any way make a contribution to the de-escalation of the conflict in and around Ukraine. Instead of this symbolic action which first of all brings out an adversarial attitude towards Russia, what is necessary is political action to reach agreement with Russia concerning Ukraine and cooperation. No sanctions, but dialogue; no war, but economic cooperation and a deepening of contacts between different societies.
We call on you to make the Dutch government work for those goals and not be distracted by the proposed, but counterproductive, deployment of Dutch F-16s in the Baltic.
Oorlog is geen Oplossing NL.


Are you facing foreclosure ???
A short sale takes place when the proceeds of a real estate sale fall short of the balance owed on the actual loan. A short sale is generally agreed to in order to prevent foreclosure. Many times a bank will choose to allow a short sale when it believes it will result in a smaller financial loss than a foreclosure. For the homeowner, the advantages of agreeing to this process include avoiding foreclosure on their credit record. In short, a short sale is nothing more than negotiating with lien holders a payoff that is less than what they are actually owed.
There is no way around it; both foreclosures and short sales will impact your credit. Credit is affected by late payments and delinquency on your mortgage. A short sale, however, damages your credit much less than letting a property go back to a bank through a foreclosure process.
Ultimately, the difference between short sale and foreclosure is realized in the future. There is a heavy advantage when it comes to purchasing a new home. If a bank forecloses on your property, you must wait two to five years before even attempting to buy a new home. When you complete a short sale, the wait is only about two years, according to current Fannie Mae guidelines.
It is a good idea to consult with a tax accountant (CPA) or lawyer to discuss your credit situation. Remember, everyone's situation is a little different. You may be charged by these professionals, but the right information could save you a lot more in the long run, which is important for new purchases down the road.
You've made the decision to avoid foreclosure by short selling your home. Contact me to take you to the next step.

Q: retrieving default values defined in Java net.properties file If I understand Java Networking and Proxies correctly, the jre/lib/net.properties file contains default values that are populated into the system properties at runtime. My net.properties file contains the following, among other things:
http.nonProxyHosts=localhost|127.*|[::1]

But when I run my Java application inside Eclipse 4.5, System.getProperty("http.nonProxyHosts") returns null. I have not defined or overridden this value anywhere within my application.
How am I able to retrieve the value of http.nonProxyHosts defined in jre/lib/net.properties at runtime?

A: Summary of conclusions

*

*The file ${java.home}/lib/net.properties does not get loaded into the System Properties (System::getProperties).

*Setting the proxy manually either through System.setProperty, or setting at the command line, for example using -Dhttp.proxyHost=proxy syntax, will override the the defined property, but also any java.net.useSystemProxies setting even if set to true.

*You can access the net.properties file by loading it manually as properties using Properties::load. The exact location is in the Java Home directory, which can be retrieved using the java.home System Property, within the lib subdirectory.

*On a windows desktop, when used in combination with java.net.useSystemProxies=true, you set the proxy used from the control panel, under 'Internet Properties'. From those settings you will need to click on the 'LAN settings' button.

*An applet has an additional level of settings, see Proxy Setup in the Java documentation.

Research
I have replicated your example in my environment, using netBeans actually, with this simple example:
public class Play {
  public static void main(String args[]) {
    System.out.println(System.getProperty("java.home"));
    System.out.println(System.getProperty("http.nonProxyHosts"));
    System.out.println(System.getProperty("java.net.useSystemProxies"));
 }
}

I print the java.home system property to make sure I am editing the correct jre/lib/net.properties.
however the two properties http.nonProxyHosts and java.net.useSystemProxies print as null, while I can clearly see that both values are set in the net.properties file:
java.net.useSystemProxies=false
http.nonProxyHosts=localhost|127.*|[::1]

Actually the documentation is a little unclear, but it seems that proxy configuration can be done in one of several ways:

*

*jre/lib/net.properties as the default

*From your System's internet settings (Control Panel etc) when java.net.useSystemProxies is set to true.

*From the Java Configuration, as set in your Java Control panel, and when ran as an Applet, and potentially inherited from your browser settings.

*System.properties
It appears to me that this is a cusom feature of the java.net api's, and will read the net.properties only in case the system properties are not set explicitly. I suspect that does not mean that the net.properties file is used to set system properties, but are only read by the java.net api's themselves.
Note also this text within the default installed net.properties file:

This file may contain default values for the networking system
  properties. These values are only used when the system properties are
  not specified on the command line or set programatically.

It only says that these values will be used, nothing specific about setting the system properties themselves.
[UPDATE]
With a small example, I was able to prove that out
import java.net.Proxy;
import java.net.ProxySelector;
import java.net.URI;
import java.util.List;

public class Play {
  public static void main(String args[]) {
    System.out.println(System.getProperty("java.home"));
    System.out.println(System.getProperty("http.proxyHost"));
    ProxySelector ps = ProxySelector.getDefault();
    List<Proxy> proxies = ps.select(URI.create("http://www.yahoo.com"));
    System.out.println("HTTP Proxies");
    for (Proxy p:proxies) {
      System.out.append(p.toString()).append("\n");
    }
 }
}

You can see that the http.proxyHost prints as null, while with the default net.properties, the proxy for "http://www.yahoo.com" prints as DIRECT. DIRECT means no proxy. This is because in the net.properties file,http.proxyHost` is undefined.
Now I modify the net.properties file as follows (un-commenting and modifying the existing entry):
http.proxyHost=this.is.a.test.net

Now when I run the same code, I get following output:
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_20\jre
null
HTTP Proxies
HTTP @ this.is.a.test.net:80

The System Property is still null, however the same setting from the net.properties file did take effect.
Some other observations:

*

*When setting the system property explicitly as follows: System.setProperty("http.proxyHost", "other.net"); right before doing the ProxySelector::select, will override the value in net.properties.

*Overriding using the system properties will only affect the exact same system property. That is, if you only override http.proxyHost, it will still inherit http.proxyPort if set in net.properties.

*If anywhere, either in the net.properties file, or by explicitly setting the system property in code, I set http.proxyHost explicitly, this will always override the System default even when java.net.useSystemProxies is set to true. java.net.useSystemProxies=true only works when the proxy is not explicitly set, and will be otherwise ignored (I have tested and verified this).

[Update 2]
If your ultimate goal is just to access the content of the net.properties file, you can try something as follows:
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.Reader;
import java.nio.file.Files;
import java.nio.file.Path;
import java.nio.file.Paths;
import java.util.Properties;

public class Play {
  public static void main(String args[]) {
    Properties props = new Properties();
    Path path = Paths.get(System.getProperty("java.home"), "lib", "net.properties");

    try (Reader r = Files.newBufferedReader(path)) {
      props.load(r);
      System.out.println("props loaded!");
    } catch (IOException x) {
      System.err.println("props failed loading!");
      x.printStackTrace(System.err);
    }
    // Now you have access to all the net.properties!
    System.out.println(props.getProperty("http.proxyHost"));
 }
}

You figure out security and privileges!


Some Muslim-looking "leaders" have appealed, particularly to the Muslims, to come out of the vote bank era and to vote for Modi. They stated in their appeal that Muslims are very prosperous and safe in Gujarat and that India had thousands of communal riots and why should one remember the 2002 Gujarat riot only?
Such misleading appeals to vote for the BJP will hardly affect a single secular-justice-loving voter. Today the voters know the clear line of demarcation between secularism and communalism, between Hinduism and Hindutva. They will never betray the country's ethos of communal harmony. They can analyse that the secular parties are, more or less, governed by the Constitution. But for the communalists, Gujarat 2002 pogrom is what the Muslims deserved. They believe that the Babri Masjid demolition was moral and a matter of belief, that there are no democratic rights but only majoritarianism and might, law or no law.
The BJP leadership sheds tears on how powerless Muslims have been treated as mere a vote bank by the secular parties. But the same party opposes implementation of Prime Minister's 15-point-programme for the development of Muslims. Even the government of Gujarat challenged the legality of the Sachar Committee report. This confirms that they have no real interest in the welfare of Muslims.
Keeping an eye on the PM's seat, Modi is trying to come out of the stigma of 2002 anti-Muslim pogrom. Indeed, the scale of killings, rapes, physical loss and property destruction was so huge, in terms of time and geographical spread, that this could never have occurred without the collusion of the Government machinery over which Mr. Modi presides with an iron grip. He never uttered a word of remorse or sympathy for the victims for 2002 nor a word of regret. This is worse than the original sin.
As for "development" in Gujarat, CAG reports and data on economic and social development from various sources make it evident that the much-touted "Gujarat model" of development is non-inclusive, socially divisive and highly ineffective in key areas.
Representations made to Sachar Committee reveal what issues Muslims think are important to them. For no other state, security was such an important issue as for the Muslims of Gujarat -- they ranked it as their third most important issue while on an all India level this issue was placed fifth out of nine categories. Again, poverty incidence is placed at 34 percent for Muslims of Gujarat residing in urban areas, which is better than many states but almost double Gujarat's own average of 18 percent.
Unfortunately, by stages, the communal extremist forces have come to challenge the very fabric of secularism. This general election shall be a test of the political maturity and wisdom of the people of India. It will be decide if we continue our march on the road of secularism and inclusive development or take a sharp turn to the fascist road.

Charlie Wilson's War
CouchPotatoes Top Spud! ?
What is a Top Spud?
These are movies hand-picked by the CPO team that have received good or great critical reviews and we feel are worth at least one viewing.
Check it out if you like this type of movie.
DVD Released (Y/M/D): 2008-04-22
Sub-genre: Comedy
Stars: Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Amy Adams, Ned Beatty, Emily Blunt, Daniel Eric Gold, Cyia Batten, Brian Markinson, Hilary Angelo, Jud Tylor
Synopsis: The true story of how a playboy congressman, a renegade CIA agent and a beautiful Houston socialite joined forces to lead the largest and most successful covert operation in history. Their efforts contributed to the fall of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War, with consequences that reverberate throughout the world today.
Charlie Wilson (Tom Hanks) was a bachelor congressman from Texas who had a habit of showing up in hot tubs with strippers and cocaine. His "Good Time Charlie" exterior, however, masked an extraordinary mind, a deep sense of patriotism and a passion for the underdog, and in the early 1980s the underdog was Afghanistan--which had just been brutally invaded by the Russians.
Charlie's longtime friend and patron and sometime lover was Joanne Herring (Julia Roberts), one of the wealthiest women in Texas and a virulent anti-communist. Believing the American response to the Russian invasion was anemic at best, she prods Charlie into doing more for the Mujahideen (Afghan freedom fighters).
Charlie's partner in this uphill endeavour is CIA Agent Gust Avrakotos (Philip Seymour Hoffman), a blue-collar operative in a company of Ivy League blue bloods. Together, the three of them--Charlie, Joanne and Gust--travel the world to form unlikely alliances among the Pakistanis, Israelis, Egyptians, arms dealers, law makers and a belly dancer.
Their success was remarkable. Funding for covert operations against the Soviets went from $5 million to $1 billion annually. The Red Army retreated out of Afghanistan. When asked how a group of peasants was able to deliver such a decisive blow to the army of a superpower, Pakistani President Mohammad Zia ul-Haq responded simply, "Charlie did it."

When moving my mouse to the host computer, the cursor will "stick" to the edge of the screen. I then have to move the mouse 5x-10x further than I normally would to get it to cross into the screen. This ONLY happens when: I have Excel open on the host machine and it is the active window, and automatic-calculation is on. I work with many excel spreadsheets all day they need to calculate in real time, so this means it basically happens every time I try to move my mouse to the host machine. It drives me crazy.
I use a configuration file. Is there a flag I can set within the file to accomplish the same thing?

A growing bakery is attracting worldwide interest in its gluten free products after winning a clutch of awards.
Village Bakery Wrexham win award for their free from Belgian Chocolate twists; Pictured are the team with the winning product.
The latest accolade for the Wrexham-based Village Bakery came at the prestigious Free From Food Awards at the Royal College of Physicians in London.
Their mouth-watering Made Without Wheat Belgian Chocolate Twists took gold in the Innovation category after being entered by Marks and Spencer for whom they make them.
According to the judges, they had never seen anything like them before and said it was "a significant manufacturing achievement to create such a good gluten free croissant type product".
The Belgian Chocolate Twists were also named Free From Product of the Year at the industry Oscars, the Baking Industry Awards, where Village Bakery chairman Alan Jones won the Outstanding Achievement Award.
Last November the Village Bakery opened a new £16 million gluten free bakery to cater for the soaring demand for their wheat-free products.
Managing director Robin Jones believes they are reaping the rewards for investing £4 million in their state-of-the-art Baking Academy and Innovation Centre which was officially opened by Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall four years ago.
He revealed the family run-firm is currently developing 85 new products and their growing reputation has led to a flood of calls from potential customers as far afield as the United Arab Emirates, the Far East and America.
Mr Jones said: "We are on a roll at the moment and it was absolutely fantastic to be honoured at the Free From Food Awards.
"The Belgian Chocolate Twists were entered by Marks and Spencer because they believed in them so much and it comes hot on the heels of being named Free From Product of the Year at the Bakery Industry Awards.
"It just goes to show that what we are making here not only tastes amazing but is also award-winning.
"With the free from products we're trying to emulate the very best standard traditional products so we can bring the very best in a product that's free from wheat.
"We worked incredibly hard on developing the Belgian Chocolate Twists with Marks and Spencer and our talented test bakers here. So we've worked incredibly hard and we've got a great product.
"The innovation centre we have here is world class and we currently have 85 new products in the pipeline.
"We're a bakery run by bakers and we have a very special team. We're passionate and we want our products to taste great.
"We're frequently delighted but never satisfied. We have a constant quest to keep on improving all the time.
"Over the years we've invested £25 million in improving facilities here. It's just a constant process of improvement.
"We have married the best equipment with traditional craft baking skills and that is our recipe for success.
"It's not just in the UK that we're growing. We've got opportunities across Europe and as far afield as the United Arab Emirates, the Far East and America.
"Opening the gluten freedom bakery was crucial. It was a huge investment for the family but it's given us a fantastic foundation for future growth.
"It's given us the capacity for a five-fold increase in the size of the free from side of the business.
"But the main thing that is driving our growth is innovation and our determination to make the very best bakery goods.

Lockdown stress has led many to make poorer choices, act recklessly
by John Anderer
BARCELONA, Spain — All the lockdowns over the past year have been rough, even for the most habitual of homebodies. Interestingly, though, a recent study finds lockdowns have impacted many people in an unexpected way. Spanish researchers report the shock and stress of lockdowns have had negative effects on both the cognitive capacity and the mental health of various populations.
It makes sense that lockdown is difficult from a mental health perspective, but lower cognitive capacity? Researchers say lockdown has led to diminished decision-making skills, poorer choices, and generally more recklessness. Additionally, many began showing an increased tendency to be less altruistic and more of a desire to punish others. Not exactly ideal during a global pandemic.
Close to 5,000 people living in either Spain, the United Kingdom, or Italy took part in this study. Each person responded to a series of surveys sent out during the first and second lockdowns in each country. The first survey asked how the pandemic had influenced respondents across four categories: career, mental health, stress, and physical health. The second dived into more cognitive matters, enquiring about risk-taking tendencies, decision-making, altruism, and reciprocity.
"We wanted to explore the impact of lockdown and other COVID-19-related restrictions on people's lives and how this affected their decision-making," explains Francisco Lupiáñez, professor of Information and Communication Sciences at the Open University of Catalonia, in a university release.
COVID quarantine in pushing some to leap before they look
Researchers say people who are "more exposed to the consequences of the effects of lockdown" usually show greater cognitive declines. They also make riskier choices and display "reduced civic-mindedness."
"People's impaired decision-making abilities were impaired, and their reactions were not those we might have expected," Lupiáñez adds. "Instead of being more careful because they were in a pandemic, they were taking risks, because they couldn't take it any more. They wanted, for example, those who did not wear masks or evaded restrictions to be punished, even though they themselves were more likely to make riskier choices."
"Very difficult choices were made without taking into account the social cost involved. They only took into account a single, short-term perspective. And now we know that four out of ten people were at risk of suffering a mental health-related illness as a result of the shock produced by this pandemic. All this will have implications in the medium term," the study author adds.
The stress of the pandemic and lockdowns has reportedly led many to pursue instant gratification and make snap-decisions. Some respondents reported moving from urban areas to rural regions after only considering the move for a short time.
"These were decisions in which the cost-benefit assessment was highly conditioned by the pandemic. It seemed as if the world was coming to an end and people preferred to benefit today, immediately, without thinking about tomorrow," Lupiáñez concludes.
The study is published in Scientific Reports.

The Dingle is a delightful, spacious 3 bedroom cottage, situated in the heart of Blakeney.
Reputed to be one of the oldest buildings in the village, the cottage has undergone an extensive renovation programme to now offer discerning guests exceptional accommodation, with sea views from the bedrooms and both a pretty cottage garden and private parking.
Tucked away down a little loke, The Dingle is incredibly light and airy with a large, well equipped kitchen with range cooker open up to the rafters with plenty of room for the dining table and a snug area with rattan chairs and triple floor length windows and french doors opening onto a stone paved terrace.
The large sitting room has an incredibly impressive fireplace with woodburner surrounded by comfy sofas and chairs, again with huge french doors opening onto the terraced area. There is an LCD tv, DVD, Freesat and Ipod docking station. A door leads to the stairs which again are of an impressive proportion not normally associated with a cottage, and up to the first floor landing. Two charming bedrooms, a double and twin both have views out over the salt marshes to the sea and also on this floor is the pretty bathroom with both walk in shower and roll top bath.
A second flight of stairs lead to another double attic bedroom, flooded with light and again with wonderful sea views and its own en-suite shower room. Situated at the top of the cottage, the sloping ceiling means there is slightly limited headroom to the sides of this room and pleanty in the middle, but the great views make up for this!
The styling of the house with its beautiful Colefax and Fowler fabrics and delightful furnishings complement the wealth of architectural details in the property and show the great lengths taken by the owners to achieve such a harmonious interior.
To the rear of the cottage is a pretty fully enclosed garden with a terraced area next to the house, steps up to the lawn and a gravel path leading to a second sitting area positioned to take advantage of the evening sun.
We are delighted this fabulous cottage has proved so popular with all our guests and has become a firm favourite with those wanting something very special in Blakeney.
Well behaved dogs are welcome at the Dingle for a small extra charge.

BusinessWeek: Debate Room – No Time to Desert Musharraf?
In the wake of Benazir Bhutto's assassination and accompanying political instability in Pakistan, the U.S. should continue to back President Pervez Musharraf. Pro or con?
CON: DISTANCE IS THE BEST POLICY
by Anil Kalhan, Fordham Law School
Benazir Bhutto's assassination reveals flaws in the Bush Administration's personality-driven approach to foreign policy. By continuing to support Pervez Musharraf, the Administration is backing a regime that lacks legitimacy with the Pakistani people and has proven unable to diminish terrorism–even with the draconian powers Musharraf assumed in November.
