Periodical Criticism: Romance
Per Walter Scott
perly said to be in love with either of these fair ladies, than a hungry man, according to Fielding's comparison, can be said to be in love with a shoulder of Welsh mutton. In like manner, his pursuit after happiness, through various scenes, is uniformly directed by the narrow principle of self-gratification; there is no aspiration towards promoting the public advantage, or the happiness of individuals ; Mr Fleetwood moves calmly forward in quest of what may make Mr Fleetwood happy; and, like all other egotists of this class, he providentially misses his aim. But it is chiefly in the wedded state that his irritable and selfish habits are most completely depicted. With every tie, moral and divine, which can bind a man to the object of his choice, or which could withhold him from acts of unkindness or cruelty, he commences and carries on a regular system for subjecting all her pleasures to the control of his own, and every attempt on her part to free herself from this constraint, produces such scenes of furious tyranny, as at the beginning nearly urge her to distraction, and finally drive her an outcast from society. In short, the new Man of Feeling, in his calm moments a determined egotist, is, in his state of irritation, a frantic madman, who plays on a barrel-organ at a puppet-show, till he and the wooden dramatis personæ are all possessed by the foul fiend Hibbertigibbet, who presides over moping and mowing. We close the book with the painful reflection, that Mary is once more subjected to his tyranny; and our only hope is, that a certain Mr Scarborough, a very peremptory and
overbearing person, who assists at the dénouement, may, in case of need, be a good hand at putting on a strait waistcoat.
ARTICLE V.
CUMBERLAND'S JOHN DE LANCASTER.
[John de Lancaster, a Novel. By RICHARD CUMBERLAND,
Esq. 3 Vols. From the Quarterly Review, 1809.]
MR CUMBERLAND has now borne arms in the fields of literature for more than half a century:' the nature of his service has been as various as its date has been protracted; nor has his warfare been without its success and its honours. If he has never been found in the very van and front of battle, he has seldom lagged in the rear; and although we cannot find that he has on any occasion brought home the spolia opima, or qualified himself for the grand triumph, it must be allowed that he has often merited and obtained the humbler meed of an ovation. His dramatic pieces are those on
[Mr Cumberland died 7th May, 1811, in his eightieth year, and was interred in Poet's Corner, Westminster Abbey. For
account of his Life and Writings, see ante, vol. iii. pp. 191-230.]
which his fame will hereafter most probably rest. But the " Terence of England, the mender of hearts," unsatisfied with having made more than one successful effort in modern comedy, perhaps the most difficult of all compositions, seemed determined to show us that his vein though fertile was not inexhaustible, and that the friend of Garrick, of Goldsmith, and of Johnson, could write plays fit only to be prefatory to the more important matter of Mother Goose. These must be forgotten ere the author of the West Indian, the Brothers, the Jew, and the Wheel of Fortune, can enjoy his full honours ; but we can comfort him with the assurance that the date of their memory is already nearly expired. As a periodical writer, Mr Cumberland's classical learning and accurate taste, his beautiful and flowing style, and the pleasing subjects on which he usually loves to employ himself, compensate in some degree for want of depth of thought, or novelty of conception. It is hardly possible to speak too highly of his translations from Aristophanes and the ancient Greek fragments, they are not only equal, but superior, to any thing of the kind in our language, and so great is our respect for the author of these exquisite versions, that we will not say a single word of his original poetry.
But it is as a novelist that we are at present to examine Mr Cumberland's literary powers. We cannot place Arundel and Henry on the same shelf with the works of Fielding or Smollet, and we are the less inclined to do so, as the latter novel, being a close imitation of Tom Jones, serves particularly to show the wide difference between the authors. Yet Mr Cumberland's novels rank far above the usual stock in trade of the circulating library, are written in easy and elegant language, and evince considerable powers of observing generic, though not individual, characters. Excepting Smollet alone, whose sailors are, moreover, of a more ancient and rugged school, none has better delineated the characteristic and professional traits of the British navy, than Mr Cumberland. The mission to Spain filled his portfolio with interesting sketches of that people, and of the persecuted Jews, who yet reside amongst them, which we often trace in his novels, tales, and dramatic labours. The works of former authors he has laid liberally under contribution, and sometimes new-dressed their characters so well, as to give them an air of originality. Thus Ephraim Daw, in Henry, is a methodistical Parson Adams, having the same simplicity of character, the same goodness of heart, and the same disposition to use the carnal arm in a good cause, qualified by the enthusiastic tenets and language of the sect from which the author derives him. It is therefore, we repeat, rather in delineating a species than an individual that the art of Mr Cumberland consists, so far as it is original, the distinguishing personal features which he introduces being usually borrowed from others. Indeed we know but two remarkable peculiarities of taste in manners and incident which are completely his own, and run through all his works. The first is an odd and rather unnatural transfer of the task of courtship from the hero to the heroine of the piece. Mr Cumberland seems to have found an inexpressible charm in exchanging the attributes of the sexes, so that the weaker may turn the chase upon the stronger, and the pigeon become the pursuer of the hawk. The frank and exacting manners of Charlotte Rusport, and his other ladies, (which, should they ever become fashionable, would be no slight inconvenience to our modish gentlemen) were carried to their height in the novel of Henry, in which the virtues of continence and chastity, which, ever since the days of Heliodorus, the first novelist on record, have been esteemed the indispensable and inalienable property of the heroine of the tale, were, vi et armis, transferred to the hero, leaving the unfortunate damsel to whom they rightfully belonged as bare of both as the birch-tree of leaves upon Christmas eve. This singular taste seemed so deeply ingrafted in Mr Cumberland's system of writing, that when we understood that he had selected a scriptural subject for his last poem,
never doubted for an instant that he had given the preference to the history of Joseph and Potiphar's wife. And though then mistaken, we find the present novel exhibiting symptoms too peculiar to be overlooked in a general view of Mr Cumberland's literary character. The second predilection to which we alluded, is the peculiar pleasure which this author finds in a duel with all its previous pomp and circumstance of gentlemanlike defiance, retort, and reproof valiant.

History of ETS Diagnostic
(RISE/SARA)
The ETS Diagnostic assessment, from the Educational Testing Service (ETS), is one of the most advanced and researched diagnostic tools currently on the market. In order to fully appreciate its thoroughness, depth, and academic importance, we must briefly review the history of the project as a whole.
ETS Diagnostic is supported by a strong foundation of research, beginning with SARA (the Study of Adult Reading Acquisition) by Dr. John Sabatini. Dr. Sabatini is currently a Distinguished Research Professor in the Institute for Intelligent Systems at the University of Memphis. He has been researching adult and adolescent literacy since the late 1990s. He spent several years at the National Center for Adult Literacy and has been involved in numerous domestic and international literacy projects, including the Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC) and the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA).
In 2004, Dr. Sabatini moved to the Educational Testing Service and began working to create the RISE (Reading Inventory and Scholastic Evaluation), the predecessor to ETS Diagnostic. This work was spurred by a collaboration with the Strategic Education Research Partnership (SERP), a group that works closely with numerous school districts across the U.S. Those school districts noted that many of their middle school students were arriving at 6th grade with weak reading skills, but the schools weren't equipped to identify exactly where their weaknesses were--or what to do about them. RISE was initially designed specifically for middle school students, to give schools the information they needed to help struggling readers... The project was funded by grants from SERP, Carnegie, and Lila Wallace.
One of the first large-scale administrations of the RISE battery occurred in a school district in Massachusetts in 2007. This allowed the battery to be field tested for the first time with students in entire middle schools. The field tests expanded in 2012 to include a large district in Maryland, which allowed ETS and the SERP Institute to refine RISE based on user feedback and analysis the the data. In 2016, the team performed a national norming study in grades 3-12, after which the RISE evolved into its current form under the name ETS Diagnostic, officially distributed by Capti Voice.
ETS Diagnostic measures foundational reading skills and reading comprehension. Foundational reading skills enable readers to decode printed text and recognize words, to understand the meaning of words and word parts, and to read fluently. These skills are related to each other, but do not develop neatly, one after another, and are not formed in a vacuum. ETS Diagnostic is split into 6 subtests. The first five subtests measure five foundational skills. These skills are Word Recognition and Decoding, Vocabulary, Morphology, Sentence Processing, and Reading Efficiency. While other assessments measure some of these skills, the silent decoding and morphology subtests are unique to RISE/ETS Diagnostic.

Q: Trigger.io -- Facebook app install tracking I've created an iOS and Android app using Trigger.io, and am using Trigger's Facebook module to enable user signups. Furthermore, I've created a Facebook app to link Facebook ads to mobile app installations in both iTunes and Google Play. I would like to be able to track these installations from FB ads.
Documentation for doing this on native apps is found in the links below:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/ads-for-apps/measurement/
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/ads-for-apps/mobile-app-ads/#advanced
... however, I'm running into issues with Trigger. As I cannot include any custom code to register the installation of the app with FB, I'm not sure if there's any way to achieve the same result with Trigger. As is, the current Trigger Facebook module doesn't appear to be registering any app installs, even with test accounts.
Hopefully I haven't missed anything obvious... any ideas? Thanks in advance.

A: Unfortunately the Trigger facebook module doesn't currently track installs as described in the documentation you linked.
However Trigger is planning on open sourcing the code for the facebook module shortly, which would allow you to include the custom code required and include your own slightly modified version of the module in your app.

A: Trigger.io fixed this issue in version 2.8 of the Facebook module, and it now calls AppEventsLogger.activateApp() with the facebook ID.

Patna medical college quizzes employees about 'virginity', number of wives
The marriage declaration form with these contentious questions have been in practice since 1984 when the institute was established, said the Deputy Medical Superintendent.
Indira Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences, PatnaTwitter
The Indira Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences (IGIMS) in Patna has asked its new employees in the marital declaration form to declare if they are virgin. This form is reportedly applicable for all the employees. The form further asks its male employees to give details if they have more than one wife.

Apart from declaring their virginity status, the women employees have been asked if they are married to a person who has no other wife living. Polygamy was declared illegal in India in 1956 for all citizens except Muslims. Muslims reportedly are allowed to have four wives due to their personal laws.
Deputy Medical Superintendent Dr Manish Mandal told India Today that this was an age-old practice. He explained that the marriage declaration form with these contentious questions has been in practice since 1984 when the institute was established.
"This is not a new form and has been in practice since 1984 when IGIMS was established", said Mandal.
Mandal added that everyone had to fill this form as a part of Central Services Rules. Also, this form is similar to the one that AIIMS Delhi uses. He stated that if AIIMS or the Centre changed the format then the change will be followed in IGIMS forms as well.
The Deputy Medical Superintendent went on to add that these questions have been asked to prevent any kind of wrong doing. However, he agreed that the use of the word 'virginity' was incorrect.
IGIMS follows AIIMS which in turn follows CCS rules. Form is according to prescribed rules: Manish Mandal, Medical Superintendent, IGIMS pic.twitter.com/9i8gl4J0Ck

Q: How to control the test flow I have a test campaign which contains tests of 1,2,3,4,5,6 and I'd like to control the execution flow in one test run. For example, after running tests 1, 2, 3, I need to perform some test setups before executing 4,5,6. Is there any feature or plugin in pytest support this. Also, I don't want to group the tests into multiple test runs.

A: pytest runs tests in the order that they appear in a module. So if tests 1, 2 and 3 are defined before 4, 5 and 6 in the module they would get executed first. But, in case they are not, or if they are in different modules or you just want to ensure some order, you should check this plugin: pytest-ordering.
Note that there are other alternatives also, if you don't want to use this plugin e.g. pytest_collection_modifyitems hook, which lets you re-order collected tests in place.
For the part where you want to do some test setups before executing test 4, 5 and 6, you can use pytest fixtures. For your case, you can define a session scoped fixture which does the setup job and then include this fixture in the argument list of the tests. Something like below:
import pytest

@pytest.fixture(scope="session")
def test_setup():
    print ("Setup done")

def test_1():
    assert True
def test_2():
    assert True
def test_3(test_setup):
    assert True
def test_4(test_setup):
    assert True

Here, test_1 and test_2 would get executed first. Then test_setup would be invoked followed up by test_3 and test_4.


My focus is brought to a wide ray of light beaming through a very tall window. The air feels stagnant, bereft of life force, asleep. As I move towards the window, pillows of dust follow me and when I stop, they continue rolling through the sunbeam exposing every mote and swirl. This place is a massive library. Seemingly infinite shelves reaching to the vaulted ceiling, luxurious furnishings on which to study or relax in between and scattered about. My finger draws a line in the dust on the table, highlighting ages and ages of dis-use.
A mouse approaches and signals for me to follow him. His energy is intelligent, sweet and exhausted. He can barely muster the strength to navigate his way. I notice that we will need to enter a small chasm between the walls so I shrink myself to his size, and follow him in. There are a dozen or so of his kind there and they are all nested in. Each of them is as listless and haggard as my host and I feel that they are all starving to death. Immediately, I shower them with as much prana as they can handle and I prepare for them a nourishing broth. They are all fed, including my host, who calls himself Wembel. He is instantly much improved and he thanks me profusely for the desperately needed nourishment. He then recommends that we go back into the main room.
We emerge from the walled space and I instantly assume normal size. Wembel, with his newly acquired energy, jumps from floor to chair to table to my arm and up my body before claiming a suitable space on my shoulder. He directs me to a large dais in the room's center, upon which lies a dusty tome. It is held together by leather straps which are secured with a large metal lock atop the cover.
Wembel points to an ancient roll top desk centered in the far wall. We walk over and open the desk. He points to a small cubby drawer and I attempt to work it loose but it too, is locked. Wembel knows not where to find the tiny key but he is not thwarted from his mission. He makes himself very, very small and steps into the keyhole. After a few moments, he is manually able to force the lock into opening. He emerges with a very big smile and assumes his normal size and spot on my shoulder. I wrestle the small drawer loose. With the small key in hand, we return to the dais and unlock "The Book of Jake".
I do not know if we got smaller or the book became larger but when the cover was opened, Wembel and I were invited to walk into the book. A staircase emerged, leading us down to a sub-floor. It was much dustier and more neglected than the library and we notice that it is filled with all sorts of paraphernalia relating to the chemical sciences. There was also, under a large skylight, a number of telescopes all aimed to the Heavens. Cobwebs and clouds of dust waft and scatter as we respectfully explore this space. We see Jake on a small cot in the corner. His dry skeleton breaking through shreds of dry-rotted clothing is all that remains atop the bed.
Wembel and I move into action quickly. I move to the head of the bed and he to the foot. Together, we raise the energy to enclose him in a glass transformation chamber. We infuse the chamber with all the supplies that he will need in order to re-manifest himself. I know that we need to leave him for at least one night and I express this to Wembel, who suggests that we return to check on his family group.
We arrive back into the hidden wall space to find that the family is still asleep but clearly much improved in weight and colour. I send sweet, amazing little Wembel into his own nest and lay a protective cover upon him as well. The last thing he saw before he happily fell asleep was the massive feast that will be served to he and his loved ones upon their inspired awakening.

Three expats living in Vietnam have shared with Tuoi Tre News some of the ways they plan to celebrate Tet, or the Lunar New Year holiday, and all agree that it is best to avoid travel.
Vietnam can be a challenging place for a foreigner traveling during the Tet holiday season. Various transportation companies are often stressed and have less tolerance for foreigners who cannot speak Vietnamese.
For this reason, and also because of the increase in prices, traveling inside Vietnam during Tet is not something I plan to do. I am often much happier appreciating the quieter roads and lack of construction noise in Ho Chi Minh City. I will also plan to take some short trips to places like Vung Tau and Cu Chi but will use my own transport and return the same day.
In 2013 my girlfriend and I managed to get train tickets to Nha Trang. The day before we planned to return to work, we went to the train station to buy tickets, but nothing was available. Then we checked plane tickets and only one seat was available.
After being turned away from the bus station because all the tickets were completely sold out, I started to panic. We finally found a small transport company that sold us two tickets on a 35-year-old bus with no AC and about 12 chickens in the back.
My seat was broken and I rocked all night. We stopped every five minutes to collect passengers and the driver kept falling asleep behind the wheel. After a 12-hour overnight ride I made it home with ten minutes to get to work. I haven't traveled during Tet since.
If you compare traveling during Tet to traveling during non-holiday periods, really, there is nothing good about traveling. It's slow, expensive and difficult. Operators often tell you there are no tickets and then you're stuck in a city. Most services are booked out and hotels are 200 percent to 300 percent more expensive, especially in tourist areas.
There is no easy answer on how to improve the experience. The holiday is a time for family and for being together, so people all across the country try to get back to their hometowns to see family.
I believe that it is important for foreigners to learn these things about Tet so that they can try to be as patient as possible during the two-week holiday period. Understanding that services will not be readily available for just two weeks of the year is not a big problem. It's also important to know that travelers during this time of the year should expect to pay a premium to enjoy the experience.
Tet is about family and, as a single man in Vietnam, I love the warmth and hospitality shown by so many of my friends here in Vietnam. The warm welcomes and invitations to visit homes are just amazing and one of the timeless charms of this country. By far my favorite part of Tet is the feeling of togetherness when I sit on the roof of a close friend's home and watch the fireworks at midnight. As the fireworks explode overhead, the refreshing taste of rice wine fills my mouth as we all shout, "1, 2, 3 Dzo." That feeling, for me, is truly the spirit of Vietnam. Maybe it is one of the reasons why I find it so difficult to even think about leaving this wonderful country.
I wish that all of my Vietnamese friends and their family experience peace and happiness every day of the coming year.

I have seen four Tet holidays in Vietnam. This year's will be my fifth.
I used to think it would be a good idea to leave the country and avoid the crowds. However, I've had a really good time staying in Vietnam during Tet as well.
I once rode a motorbike with a friend up to Mui Ne and back. Before we left for the trip, I was quite worried about traffic conditions. I was picturing heavy traffic and people everywhere going back to their hometown.
We left on the 4th day of the new lunar year though everyone was at home already. We had the roads to ourselves so it turned out to be the perfect time for two foreigners to take a motorbike trip.
We had some problems booking hotels along the way as some were closed or running a skeleton service, but we always found somewhere to stay. We were actually expecting it to be even more difficult than it was!
If anyone goes on holiday during Tet expecting perfect service then they haven't done their research and should travel in Vietnam at literally any other time of the year when everything is running as normal.
I have spent one Tet in Ho Chi Minh City and I have to say I really enjoyed it because the city is really peaceful, as so many people have left for their hometowns.
There is not as much food available but some restaurants stay open and other restaurants have a slightly different menu with much less choice.
I don't think it's fair to complain about the lack of service during Tet. It is a national holiday so there are bound to be effects on the service industry. It would be similar if you were traveling in Europe over Christmas!
The most refreshing thing about spending Tet in Ho Chi Minh City is not having to deal with the rush hour traffic for a few days.
This year, I'm going to visit Da Nang and plan to stay with my girlfriend's family for Tet in Tam Ky.
We will also visit Tam Hai Island, which looks really beautiful.
I'm excited to eat traditional food and see Da Nang again as I really love that city.
I work in Can Tho and this year I decided to stay in the city instead of traveling.
The main reason for me not traveling is quite simple – the Tet holiday is one of the times of the year when the roads are at their busiest, people will be going back to their hometowns to spend Tet with their families.
Another reason why I'm not planning to travel during the Tet holiday is the road safety record here in Vietnam.
People will just be thinking about getting home as quickly as possible and not thinking about road safety.
Recently there have been quite a few road deaths because of irresponsible drivers, and that is when there isn't a national holiday!
During Tet I just want to relax and let the world go because my work schedule during the year is usually so hectic.
Some of my Vietnamese friends have invited me to their home to join them to celebrate Tet so I have options, other Vietnamese friends of mine in Can Tho also want to meet me to drink coffee and beer so I'm looking forward to that.
What I don't understand is why the price of goods almost doubles during Tet, after all it's just the Lunar New Year.
In my country the prices don't increase at all during holidays, such as Christmas and our New Year.


We've just mailed off our final post-placement adoption report to our agency and China. Five years ago we became a family of five.
Accompanying a thorough update on Little Man's growth, adjustment, development, and attachment we included the requisite eight photographs to document his life here in America, in our family.
In truth, limiting the number to eight for so momentous a milestone was an impossibility. I sifted through my phone's camera roll and narrowed it first down to 100, then 50, then 21 where it remained. Even as a child I was ever the girl with a camera in hand snapping candids, blowing my allowance on developing film– doubles, always.
Yes, that's a salamander in Firstborn's palm; no, I'm not wearing a lick of makeup– but we're all (mostly) in the frame and (kinda) smiling, and that's basically the best we can do these days. However unglamorous, we're forever grateful for how God has brought us together and made us a family.

'Scotland has rejected Brexit': Nicola Sturgeon hails best-ever EU elections result for SNP - while Labour MPs warn that the party may 'never recover' as it loses BOTH its MEP seats
The SNP has won three out of six Scottish seats in the European Parliament
The Brexit Party, Tories and Lib Dems have secured just one MEP seat each
Labour's vote slumped below 10 per cent and they came out with zero seats
By Tim Stickings For Mailonline and James Tapsfield, Political Editor, For Mailonline
The SNP hailed its best ever European election results today as Labour suffered a humiliating wipeout disaster in Scotland.
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon declaring it 'emphatically clear' that Scotland has rejected Brexit.
The nationalists scooped up three of the six Scottish MEP seats as they won 37.7 per cent of the vote north of the border.
But the real losers were Labour, who humiliatingly lost their two MEPs.
It prompted two Labour MPs to warn Jeremy Corbyn and Scottish Labour leader Richard Leonard that the result must act as a wake up call' .
Ian Murray and Martin Whitfield said Scottish voters had 'delivered an utterly damning verdict' on the party - which fell from second to fifth in the polling.
Writing in the Edinburgh Evening News, the two MPs said: 'The blame for the worst result in Scottish Labour's history lies squarely with our party's leadership.
'This was an election campaign about the biggest issue facing our generation: Brexit. And yet we walked away from that battlefield, offering nothing but ambiguity on an issue that will determine the future of our country.'
Despite being kept off the top spot, the Brexit Party came in second on 14.8 per cent and added one more MEP to their tally.
The Lib Dems and Tories saved their blushes by keeping one MEP each.
The SNP's previous best Euro election result was 32.6 per cent in 1994.
Ms Sturgeon tweeted: 'Formal declaration to come, but clear now that the SNP has won the Euro election emphatically - we are on course to take 3 out of 6 seats.
'A historic victory. And Scotland has rejected Brexit again.'

Nicola Sturgeon (pictured meeting Irish PM Leo Varadkar in Dublin today) said Scotland had 'rejected Brexit' by backing her SNP candidates in the Euro polls
'A new Europe is born': Centre majority loses 40-year grip... Farage hails his Turqouise Revolution: Brexit Party leader...
Five years ago Labour was a close second with 25.9 per cent of the votes, but that fell to 9.3 per cent last night.
Labour's David Martin - who had been the UK's longest serving MEP having first been elected in 1984 - conceded he had lost his seat, with the party paying the price for its failure to take a clear stand on the crucial issue of Brexit.
Speaking on BBC Radio Scotland, Mr Martin said there must now be a shift in Labour's position on Brexit and establish itself as a pro-European party.
The former Scottish Labour MEP added that the party's leader, Jeremy Corbyn, had become 'stuck in limbo' on the question of the UK's EU membership.
Mr Martin said: 'I kind of understand the position that Jeremy Corbyn tried to take.
'He's the leader of one of the two major parties in the United Kingdom, we had a referendum and that referendum said we should leave the European Union, so he felt an obligation to try and deliver on that.
'It's become clear that there is no easy way, in fact I would say it's impossible, to deliver on what the people have asked for.
'But he was stuck in this limbo of knowing the damage a hard Brexit would do to the country, but, at the same time, feeling an obligation to respect the outcome of a national referendum.'
Alyn Smith (L), SNP lead candidate for the Scottish Region in the European election, and SNP Deputy Leader Keith Brown (R) in Edinburgh City Chambers last night
The final results were declared after the figures from the Western Isles - which does not count votes on a Sunday - are declared.
Ms Sturgeon also tweeted about the 'outstanding results' for her party, saying they were 'our best ever Euro election result'.
She added: 'Polling way ahead of any other party. Higher % in Scotland than Brexit Party's current share in rUK. Emphatically clear that Scotland doesn't want Brexit.'
Meanwhile Alyn Smith, who was the lead SNP candidate said it was 'clear Scotland has endorsed Remain'.
The Brexit Party has won the most seats in the European Parliament election, while Labour was pushed into third place by the Liberal Democrats
This diagram shows the change in vote shares with Labour, the Conservatives and UKIP all losing ground while the Brexit Party came from nowhere and the Lib Dems and Greens gained
He added: 'Our Remain vote can not be ignored any longer. Scotland's for Europe.'
In the City of Edinburgh Council area Labour was sixth - behind the SNP, the Liberal Democrats, the Scottish Greens, the Tories and the Brexit party.
Lothian MSP, and former Scottish Labour leader Kezia Dugdale said her party should respond to the results by 'backing a People's Vote unequivocally and committing wholeheartedly to remain'.
Meanwhile Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson said 'all indications' were her party had retained a Scottish MEP on what was a 'tough night for the party UK-wide'.
The Liberal Democrats had lost their Scottish MEP in 2014, when the party paid the price at the polls for its coalition with Conservatives at Westminster, but its increased share in this election leaves the party in Scotland on course for a return to the European Parliament.
With most results in, the Brexit Party had won the vast majority of council areas in England and Wales last night

Say the EUR/USD exchange rate is quoted as 1.1700. This means that it would cost 1.17 dollars to buy a single euro.
Pips are a forex-specific synonym for basis points or 'points', the smallest amounts by which a market price can change. For major currencies a pip is a standardised unit of 1/100th of 1%, or 0.0001, except for pairs including the Japanese yen. For these pairs, a pip is equal to 0.01.
At IG, we tend to use the term 'points', but you may see 'pips' used interchangeably by other brokers.
What are major currency pairs?
Major currency pairs are those that trade in the highest volume on a daily basis. These pairs are incredibly liquid and trade 24 hours a day, usually with very narrow spreads. Some examples include EUR/USD, USD/JPY, GBP/USD and USD/CHF.
What are minor currency pairs?
What constitutes a minor currency pair can vary depending on where you look. Some brokers stipulate that a minor pair can't include the US dollar, for example, and as such refer to them as 'crosses'.
More generally, a minor pair is any currency pair that's traded less frequently than the majors, even if one or both constituent pairs also appear in a major currency pair. Some of the more popular include CHF/JPY, GBP/CAD and EUR/SGD.
Exotic currency pairs, or 'exotics' for short, are made up of one major currency along with another from a small or emerging economy. Examples include GBP/MXN (sterling and the Mexican peso) or USD/PLN (the US dollar and the Polish zloty).

Satrapi's Autobiographic Film "Persepolis"
Satrapi's Autobiographic Film "Persepolis"
Satrapi's autobiographic film Persepolis connects the fate of her native country to her own experience by showing national and personal expectations being dashed by disappointing reality. Iran during its revolution made many people optimistic about the future without the Shaw. For Satrapi, this optimism was shared in her travelling to Vienna, which brought about a personal liberation that was as disheartening as the oppressive religious regime that made being a woman terrible.
Early in the film, life looks pretty good for the film maker's family when she was a happy child with a happy family. They were not suffering unduly under the Shaw's regime. They were lucky and discrete political dissidents,...
..... was making herself into a slowly dying creature, which perhaps is how she showed Iran under the new regime. It seems as if her fascination with heavy metal and punk had let her to have false expectations about the glory of freedom. To be free is to have one's self to answer to. The way she awoke in hospital with acute bronchitis, bitter toward the West and its freedoms, seems to be more a symptom of fiery personality than conscious evaluation. Back in Tehran she listens to Iron Maiden, tries to commit suicide and is generally suffering from the same malaise as during her country's war with Iran. Then she returns to Europe (France this time). This film shows how freedom and female citizenry are complicated as her feelings remain unresolved.

In our last epistle from the Bottomless Pit, we mocked the presidential ambitions of three Republican hopefuls: Jeb!, Ben Carson, and Donald Trump. And if you don't like it, what're you gonna do about it—tell us to go to hell?
And as for Trump, he was strangely subdued. Maybe he figures that getting a second guest-hosting gig on "Saturday Night Live" was an adequate reward for his campaign exertions and so now he can coast. Or, maybe, his bluster-buss act—"My tax plan will be a tremendous plan!"—is simply wearing thin.
As for the others, Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio—as well as Mike Huckabee and Chris Christie in the earlier "undercard" debate—did the best on points. Like them or not, those four skilled spielers demonstrated that it helps to have had some political training before seeking the presidency.
Meanwhile, John Kasich reminds us of the Houseguest Who Won't Leave. He is simply not likable, although he is still on track to be an MSNBC contributor. And oh yes, Carly Fiorina: What, exactly, are her qualifications? Losing a Senate race by ten points? She had a great line a while back when she said, "Unlike Hillary Clinton, I know that flying is an activity, not an accomplishment." Touché, Carly, but getting fired from your company is also not an accomplishment.
Who am I leaving out? Oh yeah, Rand Paul—that was on purpose. He thinks that reducing the deficit is more important than defending the nation; that's a surefire ticket to this particular Tarpit.
Yes, Fox Business, previously in the shadow not only of CNBC, but also of Fox News, was the big winner. In truth, FBN has always been a gem, being the home, for example, of the great American nationalist Lou Dobbs, who had Donald Trump's best ideas 20 years ago. And now it takes its rightful place in the sunlit uplands of first-rate journalism.
Still, it's interesting to reflect on the turn of events that brought FBN to its Beer City rendezvous with destiny.
It was, in fact, Ted Cruz who set off the chain-reaction that opened up the daylight for FBN. The Texan's sharp words at the October 28 CNBC debate crystallized thinking in the GOP—We're not gonna take it!
Cruz was brilliantly articulate as he recapitulated, with contempt, the immoderate moderators' attempted zingers; before he had even finished, it was hard to hear his words because the audience was so exploding in applause. Cruz, later joined by Chris Christie and others, had successfully turned the tables on the loathed MSM—every Republican's dream come true.
And the rest is history. The FBN reporters, joined by a pair of Wall Street Journal-ers, couldn't possibly have been more odious than the CNBC crew, but Cruz's fusillade in Colorado underscored the importance of being on best behavior. And they were.
Now we know: Cruz Control, plus Fox-style Fair & Balanced, is the cure for CNBC-itis! And MSM-nesia.
So, you might be asking, How does the 2016 general election look to you guys, as you gaze up from the Land of Torment?
Here's the consensus view from those of us who have Crossed the River Styx: Republicans are likely looking at an epic election year.
And why do we, languishing here in this Pandemonium, feel this way? What makes us, the sulfurous, so sure of our psephology?
Let's start with what's probably the single most reliable indicator of partisan feelings: control of state legislatures. You see, most voters have no idea who their state senator or state representative is, so when they go to vote, not knowing who's who, they simply pull the lever, or push the button, for "R," or "D," according to their instinctive preference.
In other words, if you want to get sense of the voters' heads—or at least their guts—look to their local legislature.
So what do we see? As the Washington Post—even the devil can quote election statistics—observed, Republicans now control both legislative chambers in 30 states. That's 30 states with 309 electoral votes, 39 more than needed to win the White House. And if one adds Nebraska, with its oddball non-partisan legislature—but which is solid red, politically—that takes us up to 314 e.v.'s for the Elephant Party.
Another eight states, with 83 e.v.'s, have split control: one Republican chamber, one Democratic. So to make things simple, let's just assign one-half the e.v. total to each party. Now the GOP is over 350 e.v.'s. In other words, a landslide.
Okay, so that's the picture today. But what will things be like a year from now? How will the voters regard the two parties then?
Here's a devilish hunch: The Iran deal will not play well; more precisely, a deal that was rejected by large, but insufficient, majorities in Congress will continue not to play well. Indeed, down here in Hades, we get a plutonian belly laugh as we watch John Kerry's dear negotiating partners in Tehran relentlessly referring to the US as the "Great Satan." The Iranians wanna see something satanic? Just wait till they join us here in this Stygian Realm.
But in the meantime, it's perfectly obvious—at least to anyone who hasn't been given a Nobel Peace Prize for doing nothing—that the Iranians have no sincere intention of complying with the nuclear deal. And that'll be clear enough to the voters. In other words, shades of the shade of Woodrow Wilson, he of the arrogantly misbegotten Treaty of Versailles. After that fiasco, the 1920 election, we might recall, was a monster blow-out for the Republicans.
Meanwhile, on the home front today, the Democrats are acting as though they want to lose. Ask yourself: Which swing state is Hillary Clinton going to win with her message of gun control, Republicans as the "enemy," #BlackLivesMatter, etc.?
And how 'bout this new headline from the Washington Post, which hits liberals where they live: "Surge in robberies on Capitol Hill alters residents' routines, lifestyles." The District will probably always be Donkey Party territory, but in fact, crime is surging everywhere, as welfare is being un-reformed, the police are being de-Giuliani-ized, and the MSM is hard-pandering to the hashtagging mau-mauers.
Yes, the "law and order" issue, which helped propel the Republicans to the White House way back in 1968, is ba-a-a-ck.
And we haven't even gotten to the issue of the loony left's latest cause, co-ed bathrooms in schools. Question: What do you call a boy who calls himself a girl? Answer: A boy.
So that's why the auguries foretell a Republican triumph next year; all GOPers have to do is stick to their guns (pun intended) and repeat, 10,000 times, "Peace Through Strength," "Law and Order," and, yes, "Sanity." In an insane era, those are winning messages. Easily. All the GOP has to do is not nominate the likes of Carson or Trump.
But beware, Republicans: Because Loki, the God of Mischief, is on our team, Team Inferno. He's hellfire-tanned, rested, and ready to mess with the Grand Old Party, luring the unwary into nominating the unelectable—and thereby stampeding the Elephants off a cliff. It's happened before. And it's fun for us, the Damned, to watch.


One of Microsoft's UK based thought leaders has indicated that smartphones will be the pivotal member of the trinity of devices with tablets and PCs in coming years.
Dave Coplin, Chief Envisioning Officer for Microsoft, told an audience at the Internet World conference in London that, although smartphones are now becoming ubiquitous, they will change the way people behave.
"We will have more and more access to information that will challenge what we do inside and outside of our organisations," he said, adding: "They will not be phones any more; they will be our windows to the digital world."
Their role in providing the quickest way to access information will be crucial, although tablets will also be important for functions that work effectively on touchscreens, and keyboard computers for work that needs a lot of typing and data input.
Coplin also stood by Windows 8 as a disruptive technology and argued that in the long term it could help users to become more creative. The operating system has had generally positive reviews but there have been criticisms, some expressed at the conference session, about the way the user interfaces work with a keyboard.
"We want to disrupt the way that people work, to get them doing more on touch enabled devices, but we're in a period of pain at the moment," he said.
He portrayed Windows 8 as part of a change that will make people more creative in the long term, and said that over three years they can change the way they think about technology.
The comments came towards the end of a presentation in which Coplin championed the cause of flexible working, suggesting that the traditional office space often hampers creativity and that people should have more freedom to find a place where they can best get a job done.

Interview with Professor Jaemin Lee, Recipient of the 2020 Excellence in Research Award
Professor Jaemin Lee (School of Law) is an internationally-recognized legal scholar specializing in the field of international law. He is an active member of international bodies such as the UNCITRAL Working Groups and the Panel of Experts under the WTO Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures. He is also Vice President and Executive Director of the Korean Society of International Law, Editor-in-Chief of the Seoul International Law Journal, and President of the Korean Society of International Economic Law. In recognition of his academic contributions, he was awarded the 2016 Academic Award by the Korean Society of International Economic Law and the 2019 Hyunmin International Law Award by the Korean Society of International Law.
Professor Jaemin Lee (School of Law), Recipient of the 2020 Excellence in Research Award
Our biggest congratulations for winning the 2020 Excellence in Research Award. Could you share how you felt upon receiving it?
It is a great honor to be awarded the 2020 SNU Excellence in Research Award. I am humbled to have received this award over many other professors both in the School of Law and in other departments of the university with great research achievements. I will take it as encouragement to work harder in the future, and I hope that, with continued research, one day I will be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the great international scholars and researchers in my chosen field.
I understand that you have completed your bachelor's, master's and doctorate degrees all in the field of law, and even went on to obtain a J.D. and an LL.M. What drew you into the study and why did you choose to specialize in international law in particular?
I believe that law is an incredibly important subject, as it underpins the core infrastructure of our society. The study of law is to examine the codified norms that regulate the order and structure of human society. Understanding the meaning and contents of these norms, how they are formed, why they are formed, and how they can be changed are crucial for societies to correct themselves and flourish.
I had always been interested in learning about other countries. During my time at university, I would go to the central library to read foreign newspapers and magazines such as TIME and Newsweek. Even though this may seem like standard practice now in the age of the internet, it was actually rather unconventional at that time. I began to notice that the law plays an equal if not more important role in the regulation of the international community, as it shapes and affects the relationship between countries. This is what drew me into specializing in international law.
You have previously worked at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and a Washington-based law firm. Was there a particular reason why you chose to come back to academia?
Funnily enough, when I first graduated from SNU College of Law in 1992 with my bachelor's degree, I took the foreign service examination to work for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as I did not think I was interested in pursuing a legal career. But as a result of my legal background, I was assigned to the Treaties Division of the Ministry, where I focused on various issues of international law. In doing so, I began to notice the huge role that the law plays in international relations and Korea's diplomacy, and by extension, I began to realize the importance of law in general. At this time, I thought it would be important for me to gain more knowledge and skills in the field of international law as a diplomat, which is why I further pursued my master's and doctorate degrees in law. A similar motivation led me to obtain a J.D. in the U.S. – I believed that studying Anglo-American legal system, upon which many international law principles and precedents are based, would be important in navigating conflicts between countries with different legal systems and cultures.
After graduating with a J.D., I wanted to enrich myself with practical experience. I looked into international organizations and international courts, and ultimately decided to gain practical expertise by working at a Washington-based law firm specializing in international disputes. After that, I returned to academia because I wanted to be able to translate my practical experience into more in-depth and systematic research for public interest. Looking back, although my workplace has changed, I think I am still doing what I originally set out to do right after my graduation from SNU – combining international relations with law and resolving diplomatic problems in legal terms and vice versa.
Could you explain in more detail the research you are currently doing and its significance?
My research aims to understand the rather chaotic situations in our international society today through the lens of legal norms. Some examples include the U.S.-China conflict, the Korea-Japan dispute, the North Korean nuclear issue, the global spread of unilateralism, the advent of the digital economy, and the COVID-19 pandemic. I share the frustrations of realist international relations scholars in their critique of the limitations of international law, but I also realize, as a legal scholar, the limitations of other academic fields in addressing various global challenges. My hope is to conduct research that can encapsulate these differences, to write about the importance of systematically disciplining the international community, and to contribute to answering the ultimate question of how we can create a system to ensure that countries comply with the rules for the prosperity of the global society.
With the continued legalization of international politics and the advent of the borderless digital era, I can only imagine that the importance of international law and international norms will increase in the future. What do you think is the most important problem that international law needs to address?
Many of us are not aware that international law actually has a significant impact on the way countries behave or make decisions. What is most visible is the few cases of violations that make newspaper headlines, which lead people to inaccurately believe that international law is something that is only abided by when it suits countries' interests. The reality is that most countries abide by international law most of the time.
The dismantling of the multilateral international order and the rise of unilateralism we have seen in the past couple of years are, in large part, due to the absence of suitable, appropriate and reliable norms, rather than mere noncompliance by self-interested parties. International legal norms have been unable to keep up with and adapt to the fast changes that take place in all corners of the global community for the past couple of decades, with the most vivid example being digitalization and artificial intelligence. Closing this gap between the norms and reality is the main task that the field is faced with right now.
What are your future plans as a researcher and educator?
My goal is to contribute to the study of international law through academic exchanges and communications with fellow scholars and researchers in other countries. Through this, I also want to raise the recognition of SNU and Korean legal researchers in this field, and demonstrate that we too can actively participate in the formation of norms in the international community so as to contribute to the global common good.
As an educator, I always try to be a professor whom students can easily approach. I try my best to memorize the names of all my students in my classes. I pay the most attention to my undergraduate elective course, as I want all students in different fields of study at SNU to learn to look at issues around us from the perspective of the international community and international norms, and to think about establishing long-term standards as leaders in their respective fields.
Do you have any words of advice for our students?
At times like this, where the situation at home and abroad is constricted in many ways, I think it is more important than ever to overcome the current difficulties and look forward to the future. I am sure our students understand that there is a lot that is expected of them in our society, regardless of their majors. It is important for each of them to move forward with the mindset that they will faithfully play their part in leading our country in the right direction in their respective fields.
