Time for a Tiger: Anthony Burgess in Malaysia
By James NewmanOn October 15, 2018
James Newman
For the first time in my life – I had become a gentleman.
Just Read.
Novelist, composer, and prestigious polymath extraordinaire Anthony Burgess set sail from Southampton bound to Singapore aboard the Dutch Passenger liner Willem Ruys on the 5th August 1954. His wife Lynn enjoyed endless gin and tonics on deck while the Siamese family cat, Lalage, established her sea legs chasing the odd stow-away rodent below deck. Burgess, ever the linguist, set about expanding his Malay vocabulary, and in the evenings, the budding wordsmith aged 37, the son of a Moss Side tobacconist, and an all-round literary ragamuffin, dressed for dinner.
"For the first time in my life – I had become a gentleman." This adventure was a true turn of fortune. A twist of fate of Dickensian misfortune sentenced the two-year-old Burgess to a life of near orphanage. Losing both his mother and sister to the Spanish influenza raging through Europe and killing 20 million, the author was adrift most of his life.
Burgess grew up in the Golden Eagle pub where his wayward father drank and played piano while his illiterate step-mother tended the bar with a soiled beer towel wrapped around her shoulder. Somehow Burgess made it through Manchester University graduating with a degree in English literature, a document that surprisingly became his passport to the Far East.

Travel Malaysia with Remote Lands
Over a decade before Burgess was to pen the ultra-violent Clockwork Orange, he eked out a living as a school teacher at Banbury Grammar in Oxfordshire. Burgess had drunkenly written an application to work overseas. With no clear memory of ever applying for the British Colonial Services, Burgess was called to London for the resulting job interview. After passing the interview Burgess discovered the position was for a school in Malaya. Burgess, sensing a wave of serendipity, accepted the offer as a School Master at the Eton of the East Malay College, Kuala Kangsar. Here he became a writer of true standing with his semi-autobiographical trilogy Time for a Tiger, The Enemy in the Blanket, and Beds of the East.
Unlike many other wordsmiths who visited Southeast Asia, Burgess really got to know the local people, learned their language, and ate their food. "I wanted to be accepted as a Malayan," Burgess wrote, "I proposed entering Islam, which would have entitled me to four wives but barred me from eating ham for breakfast. My name was chosen for me – Yahya bin Abdullah – and I started to study the Koran."

The Dutch liner cruised across the Mediterranean, threaded down through the Suez Canal, and headed across the Indian Ocean before arriving at the port town of Singapore. Now a tiger-economy built on tech-start-ups and venture capitalists; a landscape where high finance skyscrapers loom over a sports arena, a casino, and luxury hotels. Singapore in the 1950s was a city of street gangs, illegal trade, and shady back alleys. Shirtless street children ran amok the kampungs, the Singapore miniature zoo was 50 cents, and the cinema cost a nickel. Men squatted upon chairs in coffee shops occasionally spitting chewing tobacco into aqua-blue porcelain spittoons. Gangs betted on spider fights as illustrated in Ming Cher's wonderful novel Spider Boys. Now much of the spirit of the 1950s remains around town, at least visually, with old shop-houses converted into bars and coffeehouse with names like Flying Monkey and Bitters & Love.
Once Burgess arrived, his wife promptly collapsed from nervous exhaustion. Burgess calmly put her to bed before venturing out to explore the city's nefarious nightlife alone.

From Singapore the Burgess family took the night train to Kuala Kangsar in the northwest of Malaysia and not far from the border with Thailand. As the train lurched forward his pen arm (quite distinct form his drinking arm) found a life of its languid own.
"The river Lanchap gives her state its name. It has its source in the deep jungle, where it is a watering place for a hundred or so people who share it with tigers, hamadryads, bootlace-snakes, leeches, pelandoks and the rest of the bewildering fauna of up-stream Malaysia."
When the train would changed line at Ipoh and continue north toward Siam (now Thailand), Burgess continued his thoughts and sketches plucking place-names and ideas from his fertile imagination like exotic flowers.
"As the Sungai Lanchap winds on, it encounters outposts of a more complex culture. Malay villages where the Koran is known, where the prophets jostle with nymphs and tree-gods in a pantheon of unimaginable variety. Here is a little work in the paddy-fields suffices to maintain a heliotropic, pullulating subsistence. There are fish in the river, guarded, however, by crocodile-gods of fearful malignity."
The Malay College Kuala Kangsar, established in 1905, educated the Malaysian elite, and Burgess, his wife, and the family cat arrived slightly disheveled from the journey and settled in best they could to colonial life.

BURGESS IN BRUNEI
After leaving Malaysia, Anthony would travel to Brunei and live in Bandar Seri Begawan. There he would write Devil of a State, a novel so wildly misanthropic about British colonial life that the setting was changed to a fictional East African region, Dunia.
"This novel was, is, about Brunei, which was renamed Naraka, Malay-Sanskrit for 'hell.' Little invention was needed to contrive a large cast of unbelievable characters and a number of interwoven plots," Burgess wrote in his autobiography.
The town was home to the sultans of Perak and center of rubber and tin-mining operations. The Burgess's were housed in the King's Pavilion along with a gaggle of the dormitory students. Commandeered by the Japanese military during the Second World War the Pavilion had bloodstains on the bathroom floor as a reminder of its torturous past.
The building still stands in Kuala Kangsar haunted by the wounded spirits of former brutal persecutions. Burgess and Lynn lived in a flat on the top level of the building.
Burgess after a breakfast of tea and bananas walked to the college each weekday morning. His wife skulked mainly in the apartment where she complained about the noisy students and boisterous ghosts while marinating herself in gin. Burgess, the House Master, out on his daily walk to and fro school passed the town's market, writing in Time for a Tiger.
"Old women crouched over bags of Siamese rice, skeps of red and green peppers, purple eggplants, bristly rambutans, pineapples, durians. Flies buzzed over fish and among the meat bones, ravaged, that lay for the cats to gnaw. Here and there an old man slept on his stall with, for bedfellows, skinny dressed chickens or dried fish-strips."
Returning back to the Pavilion Burgess frequented local bars (much to the shame of the other teachers and staff who wouldn't dare be seen dead outside of the European clubs) and sketched his novels while drinking Tiger beer.
He became so fond of the brew that he named his first Malaysian novel – Time for a Tiger – after the beer's advertising slogan.

"I arrived in Malaysia a teacher and left as a writer," he fondly recalls in the television documentary The Burgess Variations. Burgess revisits the town, teaches a class at the school and speaks Malay with some locals in a cafe.
Had he isolated himself from the indigenous folk, as many writers of the time did, his work would have taken a different direction. Like Shakespeare before him, Anthony Burgess got his hands dirty with the working classes. "Why this urge to record Malaya in fiction?" Burgess asks himself onscreen while sat at a Malay bar in the documentary. "Surely it had been done before and very adequately by William Somerset Maugham," he continued. "True enough, but it was very much an outsider's Malaya. The planters and their wives, bridge in the club and adultery in the District Officer's bungalow. The Chinese and the Indians were very shadowy figures, and the Malays were reduced to an obsequious pair of brown feet on the veranda… at least I got to know the people, in fact I got to know the Malays rather better than Joseph Conrad. I taught their sons, I spoke their language."
Indeed he did and his work in the Malayan trilogy is still here for whenever we wish to transport ourselves back in time to 1950s Malaysia.

There are different issues which could potentially develop on the indoor air quality of your home. One tricky thing about it would be trying to know what you are up against and in choosing the right indoor air quality system. Through hiring the right air quality specialist, they can help in evaluating the situation and could find the right equipment which is really needed for the job.
The most common indoor air quality problem which a lot of homeowners have would be with the proliferation of the airborne pollutants inside their home. By having the air filtration system, you will be able to remove such problem and you will get a boost on air quality and it helps in alleviating asthma as well as other issues with your respiratory system.
At some instances, having an air filtration system installed is not enough when it comes to getting rid of the airborne pollutants inside your home. When you are ever in this situation, having an air purifier would be the best option. Air purifiers will give the pollutants with an electric charge and ionized pollutants then adheres to the collector plate. This will be able to help in removing it from the air and there's nothing to worry of breathing it.
Dry air inside your home could potentially lead to serious consequences not just on your comfort but to your property as well. Some of the problems that it could lead to would be having dry and itchy skin, a bloody nose or furnitures that are splitting. This in fact is where a humidifier can help you where it will instill air with moisture to which is needed so you are able to get a healthy and comfortable living.
Another opposite case to having dry air in your home is on the case of having too much humidity present in your home, which can also be troublesome. If this is the problem in your property, a dehumidifier would be a good addition as this will help in drying your property a bit. With an excessive humidity in your home, you are introducing mold growth as well as water damages.
An air duct system plays a vital role where it helps in distributing the heated and cooled air inside your home. It means that when your duc system is leaking, you will get lots of energy lost and this also allows pollutants in entering your HVAC system. In such case, an air quality service provider would be the best solution for such problem.
This is why you should schedule an air quality service so you will get what you truly need for your property.

Posted on April 15, 2014 by Sarah Emily Duff
This blog was first published by www.tangerineandcinnamon.com on 6 April 2014
For various reasons I once attended a talk by Tim Noakes, the sport scientist-turned-diet guru. I use the world "guru" deliberately. Although many of his arguments are thought-provoking and, to some extent, compelling – essentially, he suggests that we should switch to a low-carbohydrate, protein-based, high fat diet – much of what he said was undermined by the manner of his delivery.
He presents his findings in the manner of a big tent evangelist. In a room packed to capacity by the middle classes anxious to discover the elixir of thinness, Noakes spoke for almost two hours, painting himself as a champion of natural eating, maligned by Big Food companies hell bent on making us eat more sugar and carbohydrates. If the back row had leapt to its feet, shouting "hallelujah!" I would not have been surprised.
As I sat there, my mind wandered to a contemplation of diets eaten and advocated by other evangelicals. The leadership of the nineteenth-century Dutch Reformed Church in the Cape Colony were all evangelicals, who, during the American Civil War, refused to eat sugar in solidarity with the struggles of that country's slaves. In doing so, they were part of an international boycott, supported by Christian churches all over the world.
These Christian evangelicals believed that their faith should manifest itself in every aspect of their day-to-day lives. In other words, piety was not to be kept for Sundays. Not drinking and refusing to gamble, avoiding debt, and becoming involved in good works were all manifestations of leading good Christian lives. Partly because many of the new middle classes produced by industrialisation were members of these churches, up until around the middle of the century evangelicals managed to exert a profound influence over public life in Britain, and parts of Europe, North America, Australia, and South Africa.
Although as far as I can see, none of South Africa's evangelicals were particularly interested in shaping their or their congregants' diets, it was certainly not unusual for evangelicals and Christians who were members of smaller, splinter groups to embrace restricted diets as manifestations of their piety. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, some Christian sects practiced forms of vegetarianism for a variety of reasons: because a diet containing fewer animal products was "purer" than those that did; or because killing animals was sacrilegious. Roger Crab, a seventeenth-century vegetarian, believed that meat eating was a consequence of the Fall, as Alan Rudrum explains:
By the age of twenty he was restricting himself to a diet of vegetables and water, 'avoiding butter, cheese, eggs and milk', that is, he was what we now call a vegan. As time passed he became more austere, dropping carrots and potatoes as luxuries, though in old age (he lived to be 59) he allowed himself parsnips. Crab's vegetarianism seems partly to have been dictated by a self-administered vow of poverty; living on dock-leaves and grass, he claimed to live on three farthings a week. But he argued that 'Eating of Flesh is an absolute Enemy to pure Nature'.
William Cowherd founded the vegetarian Bible Christians near Manchester in 1809. Ian Miller notes:
the Bible Christians … had hoped to create a new form of Christian church with its unique rituals and dietary regulations. For the adherents to this group, meat eating was conceived of as the most vivid symbol of man's fall from grace, as well as being a source of social evil. William Cowherd (1763-1816) ran the Bible Christian chapel at King Street, Salford, attracting a large following of working-class people, who were encouraged not least by offers of hot vegetable soup, medical help, and a free burial ground.
Crab and Cowherd may appear to be fairly extreme examples, but their influence was felt far beyond their immediate communities. The Vegetarian Society was established in Ramsgate in 1847. Its founders were a motley collection of socialists and other progressives, many of them heavily influenced by the thought and pedagogy pioneered by Bronson Alcott (father of the more famous Louisa May), as well as by representatives of the Salford Bible Christians. One of these, James Simpson, was elected the Society's first president.
As Ian Miller argues, in its early years, the Vegetarian Society used markedly religious language to promote and explain vegetarianism to an otherwise sceptical audience. One contributor to the Vegetarian Messenger wrote that
abstinence from meat appeared to supply man with important pre-conditions for the perception, understanding, application, and obeying of the teachings of Christ while removing some of the difficulties which lay in the way of the carnal man's submission to his rule and governance. Vegetarianism alone, it seemed, could not bring about a more spiritual outlook by itself but could at least act as a starting point given that the individual was situated within the right conditions.
Miller adds:
the early writings of the vegetarian movement regularly emphasised a vegetarian world that had existed prior to the Fall that was to be restored following the end of the present age of spiritual and social progress…
This was a vegetarian propaganda, which would have been palatable, so to speak, to non-vegetarian evangelicals who shared a similar world-view. However, other, more mainstream, Christian groups have long been sympathetic to vegetarianism, and particularly the Quakers and the Seventh Day Adventists. The latter's commitment to lifelong, healthy eating has, in fact, influenced the ways in which many of us eat: the Adventist-owned Australian and New Zealand food company Sanitarium produces muesli, granola, and, most famously, Weet-Bix.
John Harvey Kellogg was an Adventist too. Other than breakfast cereals, the Kellogg company also popularised graham crackers – biscuits invented in the 1830s by the deeply pious Presbyterian minister Sylvester Graham from Connecticut, who believed that the passions and emotions could best be mastered by eating plain, bland food.
Noakes's preaching uses, probably unwittingly, the same techniques employed by evangelicals since the end of the eighteenth century. I think, though, that there are other similarities between his enthusiasm for a high-fat diet and the Christians involved in the early Vegetarian Society. They all believe that changing eating habits will be better for the whole world – that the transformation of the individual will lead to the remaking of society more generally. After all, the subtitle of Noakes's new book is "Changing the World One Meal at a Time."

Q: Deploying a chatbot written with the Flask framework I have created basic chatbot using FLASK framework and Python.  This will create a default URL http://127.0.0.1/5000. Below link is similar to my chatbot.
ex: https://dev.to/sahilrajput/build-a-chatbot-using-flask-in-5-minutes-574i
This link will work until the execution opened. If I end it, this URL will not work.
My requirement is to put this chatbot in another webpage (Like how IRCTC has Disha).
Please guide me how to proceed from here.

A: The thing you're trying to do is called deployment or deploying and application. Long story short, you'll need to rent space on somebody else's computer. This can be done at different providers, e.g.

*

*Heroku: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/getting-started-with-python

*Digital Ocean: https://www.digitalocean.com/products/app-platform/

*Amazon AWS: How to Deploy Flask app on AWS EC2 Linux/UNIX instance

*Google Cloud: https://towardsdatascience.com/deploy-a-dockerized-flask-app-to-google-cloud-platform-71d91b39b25e

*And many others..

A: Also as addition to fresskomas answer:
You will need a fixed external IP.
Otherwise any ip-related api-calls in your code will fail when your provider changes your ip (which happens regularly if you don't order a fixed ip).
And when you do this on a local machine not exposed to the web, you probably need to forward your port in your router to allow external web-api callers to find your flask-chatbot.

Q: WooCommerce Notice, run only once I'm fairly new to php.
Working on a Wordpress site with WooCommerce.
I added a notice that displays "Get free shipping on orders over $400...", and it works but when an item is removed or added to the cart it will display it multiple times.  I would like it to only display once.
Here's my code:
function sp_custom_notice() {
    if ( ! is_cart() ) {
        return;
    }
    $subtotal = WC()->cart->get_cart_subtotal();
    $free_shipping_threshold = 400;
    $notice_freeship = wc_add_notice( 'Get FREE shipping on orders over $400. Only valid in the US, not valid on bullets. For more information, click here', 'notice' );
    if ( $subtotal < $free_shipping_threshold ) {
        return $notice_freeship;
    }
}

A: Which action do you add with the function sp_custom_notice? If you use
add_action('wp', 'sp_custom_notice')

It will be called multiple times.
Try to hook up with other action:

Monument Valley is an Escher-inspired iOS treat
By Jim McCauley 07 April 2014
New from ustwo is a delightful puzzle game in which things are never quite what they seem.
We're big fans of the work of M.C. Escher at Creative Bloq; his impossible landscapes and twisted geometric patterns are beautiful and intriguing, and time spent gazing at them is never wasted. And so we were delighted to get our hands on ustwo's Monument Valley; not only is this new game one of the best iPhone apps available right now (it's just as lovely on the iPad too), it's also a brilliant piece of experimental design that's clearly inspired by Escher's reality-mangling work.
So what is it? It's a brain-troubling puzzle game where you explore a number of gorgeously-realised isometric 3D worlds. Getting around is simple; you tap on the ground to tell your little character where to go, and as you progress there you'll need to alter the layout of the world to get any further.
Switches will cause chunks of landscape to slide into view, making previous barriers easily traversable. There are whole pieces of scenery that you can move around yourself in certain places, often rotating them in three dimensions.
Something's not quite right there...
That's where things get really interesting, because in complete violation of the way you expect the world to behave, you can sometimes make an impassable gap disappear completely by revolving the world so that two separate paths meet up, and if they appear to meet up you can walk straight between them. It's an impossible yet excellent confusion of 2D and 3D, just like Escher's best work.
Mind the gap. Except there isn't one. What?
Monument Valley's full of little perception-troubling moments like this; it's lovely to activate a switch and see vast chunks of world unfold and extend, like in some crazy isometric version of Inception. Our very favourite level starts off as a small cube and ends up unfolded and expanded across the whole screen.
It's gentle fun in which you never get killed; the worse thing that happens is that you get shouted at by bothersome crows. The puzzles are tricky but not too taxing; you'll never end up completely stumped for too long.
Our main criticism is that it's not an especially long-lasting game. We ambled through it in maybe a couple of hours, and once it's over we're not sure you'll want to play through it again; solving the same puzzles just isn't as much fun the second time round.
Monument Valley's full of geometric impossibility like this. Best just to accept it and move on.
However, the journey through Monument Valley's enchanting and intricate worlds is so thoroughly entertaining and absorbing that it's hard to get too upset about the lack of replayability. Enjoy the trip while it lasts; it's brief but utterly, Escherly superb.

Were uncommitted voters seduced by the Jamaica Labour Party's (JLP) offer of no income tax payable on salaries up to $1.5 million?
People's National Party (PNP) General Secretary Paul Burke has pointed to the many Jamaicans who decided to vote late in the day as a key factor in the party's defeat on February 25th.
According to Burke, these uncommitted voters were seduced by the Jamaica Labour Party's (JLP) offer of no income tax payable on salaries up to $1.5 million.
Following the PNP's 33-30 defeat at the polls, Burke said the JLP's income tax message resonated with young professionals and individuals who are at that salary scale or below.
"The most seductive message of the campaign was the JLP's $1.5 million no income tax payment offer. That resonated with a number of persons who are either at the $1.5 million threshold or below. That, I believe, was the most important factor leading to the party's loss in the election," Burke told media reporters.
Jamaica PM Portia Simpson Miller Gotten Too Arrogant?
He said despite the JLP's tax offer, the PNP was confident of victory 24 hours before the polls opened, although they had revised their expected seat count to 34.
But the PNP failed to hold on to four of the seats it was banking on, leaving the JLP to form the next government.
Burke accepted that issues like the dead babies, the British prime minister's prison offer, the chikungunya outbreak two years ago, the negative campaign on Holness' house, and the absence of the PNP from the political debate also impacted the PNP's performance in the polls.
"I am sure they all had a combined effect in some way, but in some of our polls, the internal constituency difficulties did not factor much. And in all of those constituencies, the party triumphed," Burke said as he downplayed the impact of the battles to represent the party in a number of seats.
University lecturer Dr Christopher Charles, who ventured into electoral forecasting in the lead-up to the election, had predicted a PNP victory, but agreed that the JLP's tax plan was a big hit with voters.
"The tax offer resonated. Going negative impacted, but I can't say how much. People did not care about it, so the PNP spent a lot to time going negative against something the people didn't care about," said Charles as he pointed to the PNP's campaign focus on the house of the JLP leader.
"While the JLP continued with its message and its tax promise was just a hit".

Q: Race condition in my AJAX code? Using Coldfusion 10 and jQuery to dynamically populate a select, based on the value of another select. I've set the AJAX to be synchronous, so that it doesn't try to populate the select until the AJAX request is complete. However, every once in a while a user sees the select without any options, which suggests to me there's a race condition in spite of the synchronous setting. Is there anything in my code below that would be causing a race condition?
    function fChangeTxOutcome(sel) {
                /* function receives controlling select as an argument */
                /* there are actually 2 sets of controller/controllee selects, so vars below identify which select should be populated, based on controller select's id */
                var encCatIdList = '';
                var id = sel.prop('id');
                var idNum = id[id.length-1];
                var txOutcomeDiv = $('##htreat' + idNum);
                var txOutcomeSelect = document.getElementById('txOutcomeSelect' + idNum);
                /* encCatIdList will be passed to a Coldfusion function/query via AJAX, to get the correct set of options */
                if (sel.val() != '9' && sel.val() != '714') {
                    txOutcomeDiv.show();
                    encCatIdList = '8,11';

Carolina Climbers Coalition To Purchase 55-Acre Buckeye Knob, Obtains Easement for Barn Boulders
Published Sunday, July 30, 2017 at 10:19 am

The Carolina Climbers Coalition recently announced some big news. The nonprofit has entered a contract to purchase the 55-acre Buckeye Knob property and obtained a permanent easement for accessing the lower Barn Boulders in Western Watauga.
The area is one of the local, secret climbing holes in the High Country, which has seen many great climbing spots like Mildred's Boulders, Hound Ears and Howard's Knob close because of development over the past few decades.
Since March, the Carolina Climbers Coalition has been working on securing this property, according to CCC President Brian Payst. When the property recently sold to Highland Forest and Timber, local climbing legend Joey Henson, who lives next to the Barn Boulders, talked to Highland Forest and Timber and then reached out to the Carolina Climbers Coalition.
"It was the right combination. The seller was a great guy who wanted to see this protected, too. He could have logged it. He owns a timber company, but he'd really rather see this property protected," Payst said. "We were in a position to move quickly. It usually doesn't happen this fast."
This area has seen extensive, low-key climbing over the years, although it's been privately owned. Payst said there was never any reason to take action to save the boulders until the land was recently sold.
The area is described as clusters of boulders spread out through the woods. About a 20-minute walk separates the upper and lower areas – the lower Barn Boulders, named after Joey's barn-style home, and the upper boulders on the plateau of Buckeye Knob. There's an estimated 180 boulders on the properties, including the easement section.
"This is actually amazingly enough, the first officially open climbing area in Watauga County," Payst said.
Although there is plenty of areas to climb like the Blowing Rock Boulders, Grandmother Boulders, the 221 Circuit and Lost Cove Boulders in the High Country on federal park land, they aren't necessarily designated climbing areas. Climbers are tolerated because, for one, they are excellent stewards of the land and just want to enjoy nature like hikers, anglers, and so forth.
The Carolina Climbers Coalition is expecting to close on the property in September. In the mean time, it's looking for donations and new memberships to lower the cost of the loan and future maintenance. The purchase price of the property is $145,000, and the CCC has already paid to have the property appraised, surveyed, etc.
So far, the CCC has raised nearly $2,000 for this purchase from 24 donors – as of the afternoon of Thursday, July 27.
After closing on the property on Sept. 18, Payst said that Carolina Climbers Coalition will next meet in October during the annual Triple Crown climbing event at Hound Ears. At this event, announcements about the opening of the property to climbers will likely be made.
Payst said that the parking situation and trail construction needs to be worked out before opening the area to the public.

Here's how Henson describes the property, as posted on CCC's website:
"This boulder field lies strewn up a mountain slope and across a high plateau 10 miles west of Boone and contains over 180 boulders with around 500 established boulder problems. The rock type is an extremely solid granitic gneiss that sets up as large round freestanding "egg" boulders and walls with an ideal variety of sizes and shapes, and represents Boone's best granitic area. The many tall and small cracks, arêtes, roofs, slabs and overhanging faces consistently form amazing individual lines above perfect flat landings. The very best of these boulders lie in 2 main concentrations known as the upper and lower areas and these two zones form the heart of the boulder field. The lower area consists of 6 main boulders with 135 established individual lines in a flat "savanna like" environment. It is warm and sunny in winter and cool and shady in summer and widely known as the fastest drying rocks near Boone. The technical granite climbing is most like that of California's legendary Buttermilks boulders except this stone is more solid and finer grained. It is also similar to Asheboro NC boulders and also similar to the famous granite of Gold bar and Leavenworth WA and also Squamish BC.
A legacy of classic lines was established by Boones most active climbers since the late 1980's. Jon Woodruff's "Woodruff test piece" V7, one of Boone's best and hardest faces of that era, along with the Layback crack V2, Barn door crack V2, Terror slab V0+, and The original classic V6, were featured in Tim Toula's Rock N Road; the first and only comprehensive climbing guide to America. In the late 90's Jack Bowers, Scott Freeman, and Matt Childress established harder lines like the amazing highball the Thimble V7, the Scott problem V8, Colby Bryant V9, Steppin Razor V10 and Under pressure V10.These last two routes are on what is considered to be one of Boones best single boulders, the Woodruff boulder, a giant egg containing 35 classic lines of all styles and difficulties above flat grassy landings.
It is not only the elite climbers who appreciate these rocks. Scores of climbers had their first climbing experiences here on the classic easier circuit above the great landings. The legendary V1 thru V3 circuit allows climbers to safely climb over 40 problems in one small zone!"

You can now see general information only. Select your study programme to also see information about your faculty and programme.
Problems in the world we live come and go, and are a source of debate in society, business and politics as well as a topic for researchers who aim to better understand mechanism in so many different areas. Effectively tackling these problems is a hard task for any party involved.
Current challenges require new thinkers and potential leading experts and (public) leaders to solve crises at global and local level. The Honours Track has the goal of educating students on how current problems play out among government, science and society and give them the skills to tackle some of these issues theoretically, based on academic literature, and practically, at a local level. The learning experience is thereby based on interactive activities, such as visits to the European Parliament, (public) organizations in Brussels and The Hague as well different simulation games.
Students are asked to go beyond the boundaries of their own field of study, look at themes, issues and trends in society or the world at large that require a combination of scientific disciplines and analytical lenses. The program links analysis of existing patterns to a future outlook. While using their own 'home' discipline to understand old and new issues, students are also expected to understand and integrate the contributions from other disciplines and think trans-disciplinary. Students are further involved in shaping the program, in suggesting and preparing topics of analysis and discussion.
Video Honours College Track Governance and Global Affairs
Learning Aims
Students who have successfully completed this program are able to:
Understand the relationships among government, science and society and how it affects public problem-solving power
Apply theoretical knowledge to challenges in the real world.
Demonstrate personal leadership capacities based on theoretical and practical insights
Combine knowledge from their own field of study with theories from the courses
Reflect on global challenges from various academic perspectives and arrive at possible solutions
Use bilateral- and multilateral negotiation skills
Understand and analyze the complexity of (wicked) problems from different scientific fields, including philosophy, psychology, archaeology and political science
Understand and use techniques and methods such as visualization, stakeholder analysis, integrative negotiation, framing / reframing and their relation to problems.
Give policy advice to real-world policy makers on some of the problems they struggle with based on research and literature.
Honours College Governance and Global Affairs is open to all students that meet the Honours requirements. In addition to excellent performance in the own BA we expect a strong motivation to tackle global challenges and to succeed in the Honours Track, that is to finish it.

Senate has resorted to cheap blackmail – Falana – Royal Times of Nigeria.
Human rights lawyer, Femi Falana has said the executive arm of the Federal Government has to terminate what he calls as 'the reign of impunity' in the National Assembly.
In a statement on Wednesday, Falana said the Senate had become uncontrollable following recent developments in the red chamber.
He added that the Senate also violated principles of law by suspending Senator Ndume for six months on Wednesday.
He said, "In view of the settled state of the law as expatiated on in the aforementioned cases, the Senate is advised to reverse its illegal decisions and quickly return to the path of constitutionalism in the interest of lasting democracy in the country.
Falana cited an example of the Senate's decision not to screen 27 newly appointed Resident Electoral Commissioners until Ibrahim Magu has been removed as acting Chairman of the EFCC.
Falana added that the President had the power to retain Magu in acting capacity even after his nomination has been rejected.
Falana said, "The decision of the President cannot be faulted by the virtue of section 171 (1) (d) of the constitution, which provides that the President is vested with the power to appoint the head of any extra-ministerial department to hold office in an acting capacity. Such an appointment does not require the confirmation of the Senate.
"Completely aggrieved by the decision of the President to exercise his constitutional powers in the circumstance, the Senate has decided not to confirm the 27 newly appointed Resident Electoral Commissioners until Mr. Magu has been removed from office as EFCC Chairman.

These California bills would train nurses, judges and police to spot their own biases
Report from Sacramento –
California saw a decrease in the number of women who died giving birth in 2013, as the maternal mortality rate rose across the country, state officials said. But black pregnant women across the state are still three to four times more likely to die of complications in childbirth than white women.
State health researchers say the large disparity is likely not attributed to social factors, such as patients' education level or socioeconomic background. Instead, they highlight evidence of racism and prejudice implicit in the medical community: A survey of medical students and white residents released in 2016 by the University of Virginia found that about half of those who participated believed in myths about biological racial differences, notably that black patients tolerate more pain and have thicker skin.
"It was not in 1816, dear colleagues. That was in 2016, "said Senator Holly Mitchell (D-Los Angeles) during a recent Senate Health Committee hearing. "Black women are in grave danger because when they say they are in pain… some providers don't believe it and don't have the cultural skills to respond appropriately. "
Two state lawmakers hope to tackle the issue this year with proposals that would require training for nurses, doctors and other healthcare professionals on how to spot implicit bias in the workplace. The legislation is part of a larger campaign to tackle subconscious perceptions and stereotypes that contribute to discrimination and disparities in treatment in medicine and other industries, and may play a role in cases where life and death are at stake.
Mitchell's Senate Bill 464, which authorized its first Senate committee vote this month, would create a training program to help perinatal care providers identify and correct their biases. It would task the state's public health department with collecting better data on maternal mortality rates and would require hospitals to provide patients with more information on how to file discrimination complaints.
As part of a package of bills from State MP Sydney Kamlager-Dove (D-Los Angeles) due to hold her first committee hearings this week, doctors, physician assistants and nurses are expected to complete eight hours of Implicit Bias training and testing within two years of receiving it. their licenses and every two years thereafter. Similar training would be put in place for police officers and court officials, in particular judges, bailiffs, court clerks and litigators.
The high death rate of black pregnant women in California and across the country also captured the attention of Congress and the 2020 presidential campaign, as Democrats presented plans to expand access to health care. for pregnant women and to combat the stigma that affects the way black patients are treated. .
Although the state's legislation has not been publicly opposed, Kamlager-Dove said she has faced some setback in private meetings with lawmakers and potential funders.
"Nobody likes being told what to do and nobody thinks they are racist, so the question I often hear is, 'Why do we need this? "She said." The point is not to have punitive legislation. It is to help people recognize that they have [implicit biases] and help reduce them.
University researchers have found that all people have implicit biases, or subconscious perceptions, both positive and negative, that can influence behavior. Studies suggest that such internal belief systems have had an effect in a variety of industries: women were more likely to survive a heart attack seen by female doctors. Prosecutors are more likely to charge black suspects than white suspects in similar cases. And many orchestras now have candidates auditioned behind blind screens for prevent gender bias from affecting their decisions; some go so far as to organize trials in carpeted rooms to muffle the noise of a candidate's heels.
The discrimination and implicit prejudice against African American women in medical wards dates back to the early days of gynecology, when the "modern father" of the estate James Marion Sims, conducted tests without anesthesia on slave black women in the 1800s to develop the first surgical interventions for women's reproductive health.
In recent years, as US health officials saw the increased maternal mortality rate, California health authorities have invested funds in research, improved health care, and developed tools to better assess the needs of women. The states the maternal mortality rate has fallen by 55% between 2006 and 2013, according to an analysis from the California Birth Equity Collaborative, a pilot program founded by state health officials and the Stanford University School of Medicine.
The maternal mortality rate for white women in the state is now 4.7 deaths per 100,000 live births, compared to 3.1 for Hispanic women and 4.1 for Asian and Pacific Islander women, according to a 2018 study by the United Health Foundation and the American Public Health Assn. But the death rate for black pregnant women is 17.4.
Disparities persist even when accounting for socio-economic factors, state and local health researchers said. In Los Angeles County, pregnant African American women with a bachelor's degree or above had worst birth outcomes, including deaths or babies born prematurely or with less weight, than white women who did not complete high school, according to county health officials.
When testifying in support of Mitchell's proposal, health advocate Janette Robinson-Flint told members of the state's Senate health committee this month: "Black women have been left behind.
"Four hundred years ago the Good Ship Jesus brought enslaved Africans to the shores of Jamestown, Virginia, and since then black women have been systematically dehumanized," said Robinson-Flint, who co-founded Black Women for Wellness, an herb -roots organization that offers programs for pregnant women.
She said she and other policy advocates have gathered a number of cases that show how black women continue to face verbal abuse, discrimination and racism from doctors, nurses. and medical assistants.
19-year-old was refused ultrasounds in two emergency rooms because she was told that "if she was old enough to get pregnant, she was old enough to have this baby naturally," said Robinson -Flint.
Kira Johnson, who spoke four languages, lived in China and ran several businesses, died after giving birth to her second son, Langston, from complications from a routine Caesarean section. Doctors found three liters of blood in his abdomen, according to a wrongful death trial filed against Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.
"After 10 hours of watching Kira suffer needlessly excruciating pain, after 10 hours of begging and begging them for help, the medical staff at Cedars-Sinai finally took action," her husband Charles said. Johnson IV, to federal lawmakers at a conference in the United States. Chamber hearing in September.
Training alone is not enough to target implicit bias and should not distract from ongoing efforts to target more overt forms of racism and prejudice, said Kelly Capatosto, senior research associate at the Kirwan Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity at Ohio State University. Still, she and other experts called California's legislative proposals "a step in the right direction."
"California is at the forefront in examining the legal ramifications around implicit bias," she said. "A lot of states haven't done much to recognize the problem. "
In the criminal justice system, attention to the need for bias training has arisen from the rise of the Black Lives Matter movement and the evolution of social media, which has sparked greater recognition of the use disparate force by law enforcement against blacks, Latinos and other people. of color, said Demarris Evans, deputy public defender for San Francisco and chair of the office's racial justice committee.
Evans, who has worked with San Francisco police officers to combat prejudice for the past two years, wrote a letter on behalf of the committee in support of the Kamlager-Dove bill requiring training for all police officers , calling it a "good start". "
"It should be incorporated throughout their work," she said. "There should be training and references to the biases implicit in regular meetings and debriefings, not one thing that you are involved in every two years."
California Supreme Court Chief Justice Tani Cantil-Sakauye also expressed support for training judges on implicit bias. In her State of the Judiciary address last month, she said the Executive Director of the Judicial Council, Martin Hoshino, had already made unconscious bias training mandatory for all court administrative employees.
"He recognizes science, like me, that the formation of unconscious stereotypes can affect attitudes, actions and beliefs in any encounter where we meet someone different from ourselves," she said.
She asked Hoshino to review the statewide judicial education curriculum to ensure that training is available to all judges. And she said she was planning on taking the first class.

I think McMansions in suburbia are definitely a symbol of wealth and status and as has been stated before this is making it all the more difficult for young people to afford their own home. It is a sad reality that homes aren't as often being seen as a place of comfort and security but rather an opportunity to show off your wealth and status. There are some people who are desperate for shelter and then there are others who live in multi-million dollar properties with marble and granite bench tops, thousand dollar appliances and drive expensive cars. McMansions should be available for those that can afford them however maybe they should only be built within certain areas, not in the middle of suburbs where working class people are struggling to afford the bare-minimum housing.
As Davison (2012, p.28) mentioned, living in a big house in suburbia is what Australian people have dreamed. Davison (2008, p.30) writes it was argued that the ideology of separate spheres is the problem. Then it led to supporting the policies of 'urban consolidation' to make cities livelier and more socialized. Thus, houses and life styles for Australian people have changed. Recently, McMansions is said to be trends of Australian suburbia. However, it is also reported that young people are less likely to afford to own a big house because of rising house prices. As Roger writes, what people think about their houses would be different between people who own McMansions in suburbia and young people who live in city areas. My impression is that McMansions are built in the residential area, and young people might prefer to live in the apartment house because of their financial reasons. In terms of considering house size, it would be difficult to live with a few people in a big house because it would be waste of space. In addition, people who clustered in the inner cities might have financial reasons. Therefore, in my opinion, building small houses for these people in the McMansions area, or using spaces more efficiently in other ways which don't mar the landscape should be considered.
The rise of McMansions have made it increasingly hard for younger Australians to achieve the 'Great Australia Dream'. These McMansions have placed the importance on status as well as size as being the main components of what a house should be. Instead a home should be a place of security and act as sanctuary. There have completely changed the idea of what a house or home should be. How much futher will the development of these McMansion influence the Australia housing market?
It is in fact these smaller spaces within society that aren't being utilized there full potential and because of this unwanted space is created if it has no purpose. A lot of these spaces become entertainment space which can be utilized by those who dwell either near or around them and with these ideals mentioned above and it is these smaller spaces that are disregarded over the larger ones which leave objectified reasons into why this is so.
As I am from a different culture, I have not understood the term Mcmansion until I learn what it is in the lecture. I have just thought that it is an Australian culture to live in big houses in the suburbs. Though it is a common trend and one of the cultural factors to live in Mcmansions, I have learned that it needs discussions. As Miller points out in his article that the Mcmansions are a home for the wealthy (2009, p. 1103) and that it can ruin a community's character (p. 1100), this can be a social problem on distribution of wealth and destroy history of one city or town. Also, Mcmansion are built by the will of the house owner that can decrease the efficiency of the house. A house is too big to live for only four members of the family. Though the house should not be always efficient, lack of efficiency of using space be a waste. Economic issues rise with this context. In considering these issues, I agree that though the houses should not always be small, considering small houses and more efficient use of space is necessary.
I agree with the idea that Australians are fighting for more land to build houses on, which are full of everything they need and want. I live in Kiama and since living therefor the last 15 years, it has continued to grow with more and more extended suburbs like communities developing. Houses are growing in sizes and backyards are stinking, becoming pavers rather then grass. What was once a small coastal town is becoming a bigger town with extended suburban town.
The topic of McMansions in Australia is intriguing as I am someone who has never left Australia so to learn that the suburban life in other countries may be different due to their smaller housing is really interesting. As a young adult I am always looking into the prices of houses and it seems unachievable for a first homebuyer, and even worse for one who is already renting. This is what forces the rental market to increase and for youth to be living in cramped small spaces in the city rather than family homes in the suburbs. Living in Wollongong I have seen the effects of house prices in the city and outer suburbs of Sydney as North Wollongong is now seeing an increase in prices as the area is highly popular for those wanting more affordable McMansions and living as close to the city as they can for work. The suburban areas of Australia are fighting for more land, which is solved by filling blocks of land with large houses and leaving little private outdoor space. Grassed areas are replaced with pavers and decking for ease of maintenance and entertaining but compromising a child's space for outdoor activities and exercise. Davison (2012), however, argues that this suburban sprawl will not be afforded and the future of Australia is for families to be living in apartments. This is due to environmental and economic factors.

I've made it real clear that I will disappear. I'll disappear down a hole the size of her doe brown eyes. I've made it so clear that I will reappear next to the ones I love in the clouds above. Did they hate us from the start? Is this a family plot? A family plot. Slept in temples filled with snakes to cure her belly aches. Her mind was lost and the door was locked. Abu-Abusing love, his own flesh and blood. Him touching her. Her touching him. It means he came to her and she let him in. Is this making love? Her brother said, "Please, don't be scared. I have a hand and you a mouth. Please, please take me out. Please, take me out." And love he did, his sister kid. "Please, please take me out. Please, take me out. And I have a hand and you a mouth.

Brett Favre Says He's 'Fine'... Maybe It's Only A Flesh Wound
By Al Yellon@bleedcubbieblue Nov 1, 2010, 3:34pm CDT
Share All sharing options for: Brett Favre Says He's 'Fine'... Maybe It's Only A Flesh Wound
Last Sunday when the Vikings played -- and lost to -- the Packers, Brett Favre was seen walking off the field limping with an ankle injury.
Despite that and his age, Favre started against the Patriots yesterday. During Minnesota's 28-18 loss to New England, Favre took several hard hits and got a deep cut on his chin, for which he received eight stitches.
Today, Favre says he's "fine":
Coach Brad Childress said Monday that Favre told him he was feeling fine after a hard hit to the chin knocked him out of the game against the Patriots. Favre played through two fractures in his left foot and produced one of his best games this season.
Retire, Brett. Now, before you become a complete embarrassment. Or you could wind up like this:
