Q: Concern regarding auto_increment in MySQL InnoDB I'm developing and implementing CFR Part 11 compliant system. In each table I create a primary key that is used for audit trail. I implement triggers fired on create, update and delete operations.
I use MySQL 5.7 with InnoDB engine on JawsDB DaaS.
A few days ago I came across the following article: https://desmart.com/blog/be-careful-with-mysql-s-auto_increment-how-we-ended-up-losing-data
The author shared his concern regarding auto_increment mechanism in MySQL. Here is the issue in a few words:

*

*You create 10 employee records with auto_increment PK (let's call it "recordID"). The system assigns recordID numbers from 1 to 10.

*Employee "9" does something in the system and his actions are recorded in audit trail table with his recordID.

*Employee 9 and 10 are deleted . You delete 2 last records (9 and 10)

*You restart MySQL server

*You insert new record and the DB system assigns the newly inserted record's recordID value "9".

The problem is that we already have audit trail on the recordID "9" in the audit trail table.
Here are my questions:

*

*Have you ever came across the situation?

*Is MySQL 5.7 affected by the bug? Shall I upgrade to 8.0 since it is stated here that the bug was fixed in 8.0?

*What would you suggest to mitigate the risk? Shall I pick another DB engine? MyISAM?

*Is there any way to ensure that auto_increment does not increment sequentially if last record was deleted?

A: Don't delete records for which there is a logical collation that you want to keep. Rather than marking deleting employees, mark them as terminated, keeping the row there. Otherwise you'll have an audit record without knowing who it corresponds too.
Option b), for an Audit record, denormalize it, if necessary create a shadow table for the employee. The audit should reflect the employee record at the time it occurred.
No, you shouldn't use MyISAM.
MySQL-8.0 changes behaviour as its manual states (the primary source you should consider for important decisions). If in doubt, test it.

FSD Feature: Leather Corduroys: Kami de Chukwu & Joey Purp Get Ex-pants-ive
Posted on December 11, 2013 by FSD Staff
"We're very similar, so that's one thing that's a positive, like whenever you're in collaboration it's easier to work with someone who is likeminded," said Purp. There is a constant bounce of jokes and banter between the two of them, and you can see how they are on the same wavelength. Chukwu explained that they compromise with each other before they compromise the music, "If there's something that he doesn't like and I like it, we don't do it. We both have to like it and vice versa. It always has to be very pure, like from both of our perspectives." Going about making a record that way sounds hellish, but Leather Cords wasn't a terrible struggle. Chukwu said it's relatively easy, "I feel like we have a lot of the same influences, so we kind of understand a lot of references that we would make really easily versus anybody else in the [SaveMoney] squad. Don't get me wrong, I fuck with making music with all my homies, but that's probably why me and Joey probably ended up making Leather Cords."
The Leather Corduroys project is expected to release at the top of 2014 with around 11 tracks. Not too long after, both Kami de Chukwu and Joey Purp are releasing new solo projects, titled Smoke and iii Drops respectively. Chukwu explained how his tape may come out just before Purps, unintentionally, iii Drops after Smoke. Neither one knew the title of the other project until after it was decided. It is a little insane how in tune to each other they are.
Chukwu's project Smoke is much different than his debut Light. Light has an eerie, third-person omniscient vibe to it. Chukwu explained he wasn't really listening to hip hop while making his debut project, but the cryptic nature of rappers MF Doom and Jay Electronica are a constant influence. Kami de Chukwu literally means God of God, the first part Japanese and the second Igbo, and is reflective of Chukwu's voice on Light, which is full of dark, intricate fictional narratives. With Smoke, Chukwu is rapping about his own life instead. "I started realizing you don't make the best music rapping from something that's not really part of your life," explained Chukwu, "I feel like Smoke is more about me, about my life. It's not me telling stories from any standpoint. It's out of personal shit. Also things that are in the realm of actually happening in my life."
"I like when things are concrete," explained Purp. He jokes about maybe he has a bad imagination, but he found it natural to rap about personal experiences. "Everybody is an influence to me. I don't know, it's weird, I don't really take influence from superficial characters because they're not identifiable to my life in general, you know what I'm saying? I really take influence from pivotal people in my life. […]Anybody I have seen have a positive influence on somebody else, or even a negative influence because it lets you know what not to do," he explained. The Purple Tape was the first ten songs he had ever recorded. Purp grew up between the two projects; Purple Tape was what Joey Purp does in his day-to-day life, now iii Drops is what he thinks.
There will inevitably be a contrast between both solo releases and the collaborative Leather Corduroys. "I just want people to hear that shit because it's going to be crazy, know what I'm saying? So if they hear that shit, then hear both our solo projects after that, they can peep the juxtaposition and how we can jump from different styles," said Chukwu.
They have yet to release anything that actually sounds like Leather Corduroys, but last spring they created the track "Illuminati Slumber Party." At the end of the track, Chukwu spits, "The flow so butter melted on these leather chords," which is where it all started. After stumbling upon an email list of bloggers, they wanted to create a track and send it out. The track name, "Illuminati Slumber Party," was created to get these bloggers to open their email.
Leather Corduroys is a mystery. Purp explained he likes learning about a musician only from their music, which makes him wonder about what's not in the lyrics. Leather Corduroys is going to show us another side to the duo, one that is unexpected.
Purp and Chukwu are taking a risk that will inevitably get a strong reaction; it is just hard to say what it will be exactly. "Leather Cords is a pleasant surprise. That shit is going to come out and people are going to be like, 'Damn, I was pleasantly surprised,'" Chukwu said with a laugh. "Ideally everybody's going to love it, and stomp their feet and clap their hands and do the cabbage patch or some shit. Ideally, everybody's gonna fuck with it, but then again I don't know," described Purp, he continued, "I guess ideally, there would be two circumstances. Ideally everybody likes it and we can all do the cabbage patch together, or everybody hates it and they talk to each other about how much they hate it and we can still do the cabbage patch by ourselves because nobody else wants to fuck with it."
Leather Cords is kind of a mindfuck, and the more details you get the more puzzled you get too. "Very weird sounds, very weird sounds come out," described Chukwu, "We actually have another hidden member…when the project comes out you're gonna hear who the third member of Leather Cords is; he is very pivotal to the whole thing. People don't know him yet, it's crazy, that's like really part of the process." A producer? "I wouldn't call him a producer," said Chukwu. "A match maker," chimed in Purp. Chukwu clarified, "A savant of some sort." So, there's a mystery member in Leather Corduroys… (ha!)
"Like he said, that shits really organic. We bounce ideas really easily," said Chukwu. Purp added, "Out side of the [three] principles, that's really it. If we know those three things, you know metaphorically what to expect sonically. Because we don't actually want to tell anybody anything." Clearly. I'm already pleasantly surprised.

Igbo not Ebo. Great article though, I've bee listening to the Purple Tape and Light for the past week or 2 and they're amazing. Can't wait for Leather Cords.

I am overjoyed to report that yesterday's appointment left me feeling like I could take a deep sigh of relief and begin this new chapter with a much lighter heart. All went well. It turns out I have a water cyst, which is very common, and can come and go.
But here's the thing... As I left the ultrasound room, and felt like I was walking on a cloud all the way back to the waiting room to retrieve my clothing from the locker. But the moment I walked in to that room, I was overcome with pinches of guilt, compassion, and even grief for all of the women in that room, and all of the women who are no longer here because of this horrible disease. There was one woman in particular who appeared to already know the worst when she arrived. My heart broke for her. I wanted to wrap them all in my arms, and say, "We all get a free pass today!" I wanted to take them all with me, and celebrate only good news. But without counting, it was obvious by the number of women in the room that the statistics were against us all getting good news. I didn't want to turn my back on them and walk away. But, I couldn't wait to enter the main waiting room and flash a big smile for my husband to know everything was ok... for us. I smiled at the ladies who were smiling back... a silent good bye. And I lingered, making eye contact with the woman who seemed very somber. I wanted her to know that I felt her fear, and that she was not alone. Then... I left.
As my husband and I walked out of the building, into the bright sunny afternoon, we were practically skipping. He was asking what I wanted to do, expecting my desire for tonight's dinner and movie. I was thinking more along the lines of books to be written and art workshops in Italy. But just holding his hand was enough. And dinner was great.
But somehow the celebration was bittersweet. Although I have this renewed appreciation for each and every moment, and I am so very thankful to have gotten good news, I will never forget my sisters in that waiting room... and all the others. I will celebrate with all my heart. But now and forever, my heart carries them with me. It's a strange thing, isn't it? Kind of like a soldier returning from war. I am soooooo glad to be alive. I am more fully alive than ever before, and glad for it. But there is that tug. That knowledge. That brush with something so many dread and fear. I know I'm being overly dramatic here. That's me. But I almost feel responsible to not forget, and to do more with my life as so many wished they could, but never had the chance. Crazy? I guess. But... that's me. And I will do my best to honor those women through my work and my love. Most especially, my own mom, who lost her life to cancer. She was too young. And she left too many dreams still dreams.

"A little bad taste is like a nice dash of paprika."
Bookshot #143: Words of Radiance
I've decided that Brandon Sanderson is an evil genius of some kind. Basically, his m.o. goes like this:
1. Write the doorstop of an epic fantasy novel.
2. Seed your plot with just enough hints of what's to come through the first 75% of it.
3. Just as your reader is bored out of their minds and waiting for something, anything to happen, have all the seeds sprout at more or less the same time.
I'm only two books into The Stormlight Archive and I feel like that's going to be the basic formula going forward and I don't know if I have it in me. I might have to take a little hiatus to go and read other things. It's not as if I dislike the characters in The Stormlight Archive- in fact, given the choice between this series and Mistborn, I'll stick with the former over the latter. But it just takes so god damn long for anything to happen.
Probably the most interesting character in this book is probably Shallan. Traveling with Jasnah to the Shattered Plains, their ship is attacked and Jasnah believed dead- and it's up to her to get herself to their original destination, ingratiate herself with Dalinar Kholin and his family- especially since Jasnah has set up a betrothal to Dalinar's son, Adolin and work on revealing the truth to the world: the Parshendi are the Voidbringers of old. In general, her chapters and character development are the most interesting and engaging parts of this book- and she ends up proving critical in the climax of this one.
Two more characters I'm intrigued by: Szeth and Eshonai... if there's one thing that Sanderson does very well (apart from his evil genius routine described above) I think it's not making anybody particularly one-dimensional. Eshonai and the Parshendi have stumbled across this new form that could turn the tide of war in their favor- Eshonai assumes the "storm form" and is fighting some ambivalence about it for the entire book (internal screaming, etc). Not all the Parshendi are okay with this. Same with Szeth and Taravingian and that crew- we still don't know their full story at this point either, but it seems like they're trying to "save the world" and "prevent the desolation" as well.
Kaladin is grumpy, mopey, and heads back into his dark and twisty depression for a good two-thirds of the book- he's fairly boring to be quite honest, but rallies quite nicely at the end. Here's the kicker though: I just want him to move forward as a character. I'm really hoping that the events of this book have changed him for good. I'm thinking they probably have, but two volumes into a planned ten volumes, you never know. I'd just hate to see his character go back to where he was at in the first book and for an annoyingly large portion of this book.
What did I like overall? Plot developments-- like I said above, Sanderson liberally scatters plot seeds throughout the book, and then they all sprout at once at the end, to the point where you're racing through the last third of the book because you find it genuinely interesting again and can't wait to see what happens next. The most interesting twitch of the curtain: the antagonists seem to be operating on much the same page as our protagonists: they want to save the world, they just appear to have a very different vision on how to accomplish that task. It's another shade of grey that may well be a red herring/fake-out in general, I think epic fantasy is going to end up with a Tolkein-esque confrontation between good and evil- it's just a question of how you frame it and how you get there.
Overall: A strong second volume and a worth successor to The Way of Kings, Words of Radiance develops some characters and builds the world of Roshar and the coming conflict that I'm assuming will dominate the next (planned) eight volumes of the series. Whether I make it through the rest of these doorstops remains to be seen, but for my, My Grade: **** out of ****
Serial Saturday #2.4: The Ghost
" Dadatoa ? Uncle Mendrika?" He spread his arms wide, grinning... " Zanak'anabavy! " ~ Blink. She was one hundred fifty million miles away and five years younger and someone was pounding on their front door. Sarah had been huddled on the couch for days now, glued to news reports coming in from all the fronts. Her mother rushed from the kitchen and lunged for the controller. "Turn that down!" "But, Neny-" "Turn it down," she repeated. "Iza io?" "Mendrika," came the reply. "Open the damn door." Her mother flung the door open and her uncle came in, uniform torn and dirty, rifle slung across his shoulders. "Uncle Mendrika, your eye!" Sarah said, noticing the eyepatch across his right eye. Her mother blanched. "What happened?" "Start packing." "What?" "Start packing," he repeated. "But-" "The Consolidation Fleet sailed sooner than we thought.
Serial Saturday #2.15: To The Jaipur Palace
Sarah followed the nuns out of the Enugu's cargo bay and onto the docks. The two nuns both held up their hands and their party stopped. The docks of Samundra City were so different from the docks of New Toliara. Everything was gleaming white, shiny, new. People were shouting in dozens of different languages. A loud series of honks off to her left made her turn. The crowds parted to reveal three Tuk-Tuks, all bright blue which pulled up in front of them. "Sister Adelaide," Abbess Hildegarde pointed to the Tuk-Tuk on the left. "You and Sister Michael will watch our backs. Sister Marguerite," she now pointed to the Tuk-Tuk on the right. "You and Sister Agnes are on point. Sister Monica, you will ride with me and this young lady. Remember, keep your comms active, and rules of engagement are in place." The nuns nodded and headed for their assigned Tuk-Tuks. The Abbess gestured for Sarah to precede her, still a little bemused at all the nuns that appeared to be armed to the teeth. Sarah sett
Random Song: In The House of Stone And Light
Remember this song? I have no idea why it popped back into my brain, but it did-- it was released all the way back in 1994 and there was at least one summer when it was all over the airwaves of Q103 (pour one out for Q103). I think this song embedded into my brain when I was reading The Wheel of Time the first time out (when they were actually coming out in the bookstores- man, I'm old.) In Book 3, The Dragon Reborn , something about the cover , this song, and the supposedly impregnable fortress of The Stone of Tear just sort of connected in my young brain and it's what I always associate this song with now. But it gets crazier- if you dig into the lyrics a little bit you find references to Buddhism (Mount Kailas)- which in the Buddhist tradition it's located near the land of Shambhala- the actual mountain is located in Tibet and linked with the Hindu epic, the Ramayana. Also: The House of Stone and Light is the Havasupai name for the Grand Canyon. So either this song

I was wondering if anyone had anything on this particular pedal?
Yes. It's DSP-based. Sorry ... Buy one and rebox it, that's the only thing you can dby (do by yourself) to mod this circuit without being in programming-stuff.
Thank you for the info. May as well delete this topic eh?
hey, i got a holy grail with a fried resistor and i need the schematic! can anyone help?
Re: EH Holy Grail Schematic?

Please don´t post copyrighted schematics. They will be removed like in this case.
Feel free to send it your friends instead by e-mail on request.
If that's the 47R resistor that sits just before the regulator you can replace that with an 1N4002 diode.
The supplies these come with leave a little too high voltage and these are better driven by a stabilized 9V at least 200mA supply.
i find that in some units i have worked on or owned, that at least 500mA was required (which is the rating of the stock adapter) to keep the reverb clean.

We've all learned about poetry in English class, but have you taken the time to write your own? April is National Poetry Month so let's discover more about this form of writing!
Poetry is a form of written expression, similar to a novel or short story. But, poems are often much shorter in length, and use many literary devices to make them sound more pleasurable to the ear. For example, many poems use rhyming, which makes us want to continue reading the poem!
Some people dedicate their whole lives to learning about poems, but we are just going to cover the basics.
Stanza: A part of a poem that contains more than one line - most often referred to as a verse.
Meter: The rhythmic structure of the lines of a poem.
Rhythm: The way a poem sounds.
Couplets: Two lines in a poem that rhyme and have the same meter.
Acrostic: A poem where the first letter of each line spells out a word or message.
Ballad: A poem that tells a story, sometimes through song.
Sonnet: A poem with 14 lines that follows a specific rhyme scheme and structure. William Shakespeare was famous for writing these types of poems.
Haiku: A short poem with three lines of 17 or less syllables.
Limerick: A short poem with five lines that doesn't make much sense. It follows a specific rhyming pattern.
Do you write poems? Who is your favorite poet? Let us know!


AS I have said in my previous posts, cramming for an exam is never going to lead to good results. You would only strain yourself and, as a result, instead of helping you score high in your exam you would most likely flunk it. One wrong move of those who are cramming is to set sleep aside and spend the whole night studying their lesson.
Sleep tonight, not on your exams.
A few years ago, I was in college then, I have read an article on TIME magazine that explains the importance of sleep. It was based on a research study comparing the memory retention of two groups of learners and the factor being tested was sleep. Both groups were made to perform a specific learning task and were tested afterwards. It was found out that those who were able to sleep the night before the test have significantly improved their performance.
Cramming is really never going to lead you to success. Relax. Have a good night sleep. Stop studying your lessons until the wee hours of the morning because it really won't be of help.
A superstition from the scientist in the kitchen. Lol.
It's true! But syempre you have to read your notes daily before you sleep!

Most Anticipated Games Of The 2012 NFL Season
By Harrison Goo August 20, 2012 at 5:42 am
Filed Under:Dallas Cowboys, Denver Broncos, Indianapolis Colts, New England Patriots, New York Giants, New York Jets, NFL, NFL Kickoff Week, Pittsburgh Steelers, Washington Redskins, Harrison Goo
This past off-season, filled with talk about concussions and bounties and scandal, seemed to drag on forever. (Didn't we JUST go through the lockout?) And yet now… finally, preseason is here, which means regular season is just around the corner. Sure, the same issues still plague the league. Despite all that, my own anticipation is building to a deafening crescendo. Suffice to say, I've missed football quite a bit. Haven't well all?
I was initially a little hesitant about picking the five games I'm most excited about. How could I possibly choose just five of my 272 kids? How could I deal with their sad eyes as I told them they weren't good enough to make the list? In the end though, the sports fan in me persevered. Here are the five games that will have the biggest impact on the NFL this season (in no particular order.)
Demaryius Thomas (Photo Credit: Doug Pensinger/Getty Images)
Pittsburgh Steelers at Denver Broncos (Sunday, September 9th)
This is a no-brainer, simply for the storylines alone. The Broncos and Steelers are meeting again for the first time since the playoffs. Peyton Manning is playing in his first game in a season. It's his first home game and the Broncos' first game without Tim Tebow. The list goes on and on. Suffice it to say, every sportswriter in America (and every non-team-affiliated football fan) will be tuned in to see what happens. Cue up the hyperbole machine!

Picking these two games was also a no-brainer, particularly after Jerry Jones so adamantly implored Cowboys fans to "come to that (Cowboys) stadium and watch us beat the Giants' ass." The argument can be (and has been) made that this was just bravado to hype up the fans. But the history between the two teams, as well as the strength of the division (the Eagles, Cowboys and Giants are all expected to compete for playoff spots this season) make it impossible to ignore the importance of these two games. And speaking of the Eagles…

Philadelphia Eagles at New York Giants (Sunday, December 30th)
This match-up (in week 17) will likely take place with a playoff berth on the line. Given the high expectations surrounding these two teams (a "dynasty" and last year's Super Bowl champs), there might be even more at stake. Over the past five seasons, just about every game between these two teams has gone down to the wire (the most famous being the "miracle at the Meadowlands" in which DeSean Jackson returned a punt 75 yards for the winning TD with only a few seconds left on the clock). Thankfully, I don't have to predict the winner of this one just yet.
Indianapolis Colts at Washington Redskins (Saturday, August 25th)

Yes, I know this is a preseason game. But in my own defense, it's the third preseason game (or what's commonly seen as the "dry run" for starters). And, more importantly, it's the first (and only) match-up this season between the top two picks in the 2012 draft, Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin III. Both of these quarterbacks have the fates of their respective teams riding on their shoulders. And while the preseason isn't really a true predictor of success, this game will kick off the season-long comparisons between them. All the hype surrounding these two already megastars makes any head-to-head match-up a must-watch.

New York Jets at New England Patriots (Sunday, October 21)
This game made the list for two reasons. First, the Jets and Patriots have a bitter rivalry, dating back to 2007 when Eric Mangini (then as coach of the Jets) exposed his former mentor and boss Bill Belichick for his involvement in the infamous "Spygate" scandal. The mutual dislike deepened in 2009, when Rex Ryan was hired as the coach of the team and promptly declared that he would not "kiss Bill Belichick's Super Bowl rings." Really though, past feuds aside, this game is important because Week 7 is when Mark Sanchez will be benched in favor of Tim Tebow. And his first start with his new team will absolutely be required viewing, regardless of the opponent.

Transmit to Your Eyeholes: Week Ending 11/22/2020
By meredithnudo
Transmit to Your Eyeholes Artwork by Jules Rivera (julesrivera.com)
I read a lot. This is a selection of what I read this week (11/16/20 through 11/22/2020) that I think you should read, too.
*Nicola Dall'asen's How Makeup Artist Terri Bryant Is Using Her Parkinson's Diagnosis to Reinvent Makeup for Allure: Guide Beauty is an accessible makeup brand utilizing universal design standards to make beauty products more accessible to enthusiasts whose hands shake or otherwise render application by the usual means difficult. It makes a clear case for more brands to consider redesigning their products for use by a wider, more inclusive audience.
*Christopher Jobson's When TV Logos Were Physical Objects for Colossal: HBO, BBC, and the Eurovision Song Contest have all created logo "animations" using practical effects, but they certainly appear as if drawn. It's super interesting to learn how each studio made the "magic" happen! A must read for artists and animation and special effects fans.
*Kim Lacapria's Are Flamingo Egg Yolks Pink? for Snopes: I had no idea that there was an urban legend about flamingo egg yolks being pink, but my life is better knowing that it exists. They aren't, by the way, but I still find the story amusing and fun. God knows we need more amusement and fun these days.
*Tessa McLean's The story behind that weird lever at the top of the stairs in old SF homes for SFGate: Even if you've never been inside an older home in San Francisco (I haven't either, for the record), this is still a neat read for anyone interested in architectural history.
*Angela Sterritt's Indigenous languages recognize gender states not even named in English for The Globe and Mail: As mentioned before on here, the criticism that genders other than "male" and "female" exist is a newfangled postmodern invention isn't historically or anthropologically accurate. Indigenous tribes have recognized genders beyond the binary for millennia, and Anishinaabe artist and activist Fallon Andy uses multimedia to share this reality as well as the reality of violence against people under the transgender umbrella.
As always, my weeklies/weeklies-ish:
*Huda Fahmy's Yes I'm Hot in This
*Phylecia Miller and Jules Rivera's Hi, Phylecia!
*Taejoon Park's Lookism
*Jules Rivera's Mark Trail
*Linda Sejic's Punderworld
*Jessi Sharon's The Sea in You
*Rachel Smythe's Lore Olympus
*Sensaga's Ham and Mat
*Steenz's Heart of the City
As far as I know, only the first two volumes of Kumiko Suekane's Versailles of the Dead are available in English. I read them both, and had quite a bit of swashbuckling zombie horror fun even though I do often feel oversaturated by the genre sometimes. But Suekane sets the story in pre-revolutionary France, following Marie Antoinette's twin brother filling in her dauphine role after she's brutally killed by zombies during the carriage ride from Austria. That's not a spoiler; it's literally in the book description. There's also demons, angels, deception, resurrection, and jewel thievery to make things all the more delightful and over-the-top. I plan to continue with the series if more volumes start getting translated or my Japanese improves. Whichever comes first.
Completed I, Rigoberta Menchú this week, which started off outlining the ways in which her K'iche' people and other indigenous Guatemalans adapted Catholicism alongside their own traditional spiritual beliefs rather than rejecting them entirely. To the Natives, the faith offered another window to the world, and the bible stories often galvanized leaders of the Comité de Unidad Campesina and other indigenous, workers', and poor peoples' organizations fighting in the Guatemalan Civil War.
Outside of discussing the death rituals of her tribe, Menchú dedicates the rest of the book to document the exploitative practices of plantation owners that led to an uprising of those they worked to the bone, starved, and charged for basic necessities to the point the laborers were forced to pay debt to their own "employers." Particular attention is paid to the human rights atrocities committed by presidents Kjell Eugenio Laugerud García and his successor Fernando Romeo Lucas Garcia. Be warned that there are extremely graphic depictions of torture and rape, but it's also the reality faced by Menchú's people and their allies and not meant to be read as something salacious or titillating. It's history, and history is extremely horrific, particularly when colonialism is involved.
(Read this post for information about the testimonio genre and how the book isn't intended to be read as an autobiography.)
See you next week, fellow bookish buffs!

Yahoo Yahoo is destroying our youths – Falz says

BBNaija: Yul Edochie replies fans who insulted him for Supporting a BBN housemate
Multi-talented entertainer, Falz, who has always called out cyber criminals has once again spoken on the matter. According to him, it is destroying Nigerian youths and giving us bad name outside Nigeria.
He said;
"I've always said it from the beginning and maybe I was the first person to get a backlash on this. I've never been a fan of celebrating cyber-crime. When I said it in an interview, it got me a lot of backlash. I will say it again and again; cyber-crime is wrong, cyber- crime is giving us a horrible name especially outside Nigeria" he said.
Falz added that,
'It's destroying our youths and a lot of people are feeling it's the only option. I understand the sentiment of people being not privileged and feeling like they don't have the opportunity and they feel this is the fastest way to get money. But people are out there actually putting in efforts, toiling, struggling to make it by doing legitimate stuff and not just taking from someone else.
One thing I believe in is that live your life, let others live theirs as long as you living your life does not affect another person negatively. So long as you are taking from someone else, that is an offense even against humanity and it's bad. I've never subscribed to it and I've never been a fan of celebrating it".

Lock in a great price for Hotel Sportsman – rated 8.8 by recent guests!
Excellent hotel. Fantastic location on the lake , great pool & private beach. Lovely facilities. Amazing Breakfast choice. Lovely staff. We will return.
Excellent breakfast choices for all-including a Tea Station & a juicer! Perfect ! Staff all super efficient & accommodating, advising on anything we needed to know. Hotel & surrounding areas all pristine-staff very polite & helpful. Beach opposite was good-we liked that it was private & was cleaned daily in the morning-nothing was too much trouble. We felt so well looked after & truly spoiled! Thanks to all for making our stay such a special time, as we went to celebrate or Pearl Wedding Anniversary.
Great location 2.5km between Bardolino and Garda...enjoyable walks to and from both. Able to hire bikes from the hotel with easy and very reasonably priced. Lovely staff, especially Liisa on reception and Emmanuella in the bar. Lovely full breakfast. Nice pool and private beach.
Great breakfast. Hotel location is on the best side of the island (in my opinion), but does not feel very packed. Was easy to get around and we were in walking distance to a main attraction/tourist area.
The hotel was probably built in the 80', however very well maintained and very clean. The location of the hotel is excellent, nearby a walking / bike trail . The hotel has its private beach. The breakfast had a good selection. The stuff very friendly and attentive , willing to respond to all our demands.
The lake view from bedroom and terrace. The private sandy beach a few metres from front door of hotel. Convenient to both Garda and Bardolino. Friendly staff. Comfortable bedroom.
Good location for access to other towns on Garda. Staff very pleasant and helpful and the room was spacious and comfortable.
The hotel staff was very friendly - they've made perfect reservations in the best nearby restraunts. Hotel provided free boat cruise - it was excellent!
Comfortable bed, great sized room, very helpful and friendly staff (all the receptionists, waiters and bar staff)....all of them couldn't do enough! We had a lake view with balcony and it was beautiful to look out to every morning. It was very useful having the hotel car to drive us to nearby places free of charge (it was like having our own private chauffeur). Lots of choice for breakfast, and dinner in the restaurant was great too, although we only ate there twice. Many nearby restaurants and shops. The private beach was nice and the lake was clean enough for us to get in for a swim with the lovely ducks that greeted us during the day!

Very uncomfortable bed that gave me back ache.
Bedrooms and bathrooms very dated.
We were so pleased with this hotel; from the staff, rooms and breakfast. We highly recommend this property.
Television very limited for English speaking guests. Lots of German and Italian TV stations! No non slip mat in bath/shower. Air conditioning in bedroom shut down after only few minutes - every time! Kitchen closed for any lunch - except toasties - before 2pm in afternoon - no chef! First time that we couldn't get a proper lunchtime snack meal in a holiday hotel.
Perfect location between bardolino and garda !
Breakfast was not as good in comparison to other hotels in Italy I have used. Food available seemed to cater more for German tastes rather than traditional Italian fare. A bit disappointing.
Gym and pool closed too early.
The only thing we didn't like was the breakfast bag. We had to leave early one day for a day trip so asked for a breakfast box to take with us on the coach. It wasn't great with the sandwiches not even cut in half......and how can you eat a whole large orange on the go!! This could be greatly improved. Worth getting up a little earlier and having breakfast in the hotel instead!
The quality of the hotel is not reflected in the sign on its lakeside front. It looks slightly amateurish and is simply painted onto the pink wall. This hotel deserves to advertise itself with a much more professional sign, possibly in polished metal letters, which will more accurately reflect its 4 star quality.
The hotel was perfectly situated for flat walking to both Bardolino and Garda. It was right on the promenade and the private sandy beach with loungers, umbrellas and cushions was a real bonus. The pool area was secluded and exceptionally clean as was the whole hotel. The grounds staff were busy each morning and evening, keeping the outside areas tidy, clean and well manicured. We loved being able to eat breakfast in the garden, which, incidentally was delicious with a huge range to suit all tastes and appetites. We ate other meals out, so cannot comment on the main restaurant. Our biggest plus was the hospitality, courtesy and friendliness of all of the staff, but especially Michele, who was most attentive, had a great memory for people's individual needs and never appeared in a flap.

'Fraggle Rock' Will Now Be Written by 'Rango' Veterans
Posted on Thursday, May 31st, 2012 by Russ Fischer
A movie version of Jim Henson's '80s musical TV show Fraggle Rock has been in the works for years, and development took a good step forward when New Regency started backing the project last year.
There has been speculation over whether the new film would feature classic puppets or CGI characters, though the success of The Muppets would lead one to think puppets will get another chance here. We do know one thing, however: the feature has new writers. Jim Byrkit and Alex Manugian, both of whom worked on Gore Verbinski's beautiful Oscar-nominated film Rango, will script.
THR doesn't have any details on what the pair plan to do with Fraggle Rock, but the smart, weird, and fun tone of Rango is certainly a good touchstone. (Fraggle Rock is a very different thing, yes, but many of Rango's qualities would compliment the basic concept of the singing cave-dwelling Fraggles.)
We shouldn't make too much of the Rango link just yet, however. Byrkit co-authored the film's story and did storyboard work on that and the Pirates of the Caribbean films, and has credit as director of the Rango video game. Manugian has voice credits in Rango and is a former Cartoon Network exec. So it's not as if the pair are the prime architects of Rango. The pair also wrote Fleeced, which Disney is developing.
This is the description of Fraggle Rock from the Jim Henson website.
Premiering in January 1983, this wonderfully inventive program was designed to entertain while encouraging an understanding and embracing of diversity. From a fun-loving group of furry subterranean creatures came 96 total episodes, 100 original songs and millions of fans from around the world. Through the fun adventures of the Fraggle gang – Red, Gobo, Wembley, Boober, Mokey and Uncle Traveling Matt – the show captured the hearts of children and adults alike while featuring a unique mix of music that included a number of genres, from folk, blues and gospel to country and rock. The show was seen in 98 countries and secured several prestigious awards, including three Cable ACE Awards and five International Emmys.
Premiering as one of HBO's first original series, "Fraggle Rock" was created as a way to show the world how to live in peace. Within the show are three different communities: the home of Doc, an inventor, and his dog, Sprocket; the world of the upbeat Fraggles, who share the caves of Fraggle Rock beneath Doc's house with their small neighbors, the Doozers; and the Gorgs, gigantic creatures who inhabit Gorg's Garden. Through these different communities "Fraggle Rock" shows how we can all work together towards common goals.

A: you want to save data after download from network or after an edit in edit text fields was made??

*

*if from network add some  save method execution statement in code where you download data was successful
 if (json_status.equalsIgnoreCase("Success")){
               Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "changed parent details successfully", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

               // here you have successful received data so u can map them to edit text or save in shared prefs

    SharedPreferences sharedPreferences = getSharedPreferences(AppConstants.OOSH_PREFERENCES, Context.MODE_PRIVATE);

    sharedPreferences.putString(....).apply;

   // or set edit text controls with JSon data

    EditText etFirstName = (EditText) rootView.findViewById(R.id.edit_first_name);
    // set string to edit text widget
    etFirstName.setText(firstName);
}

*add on text change listener for edittext widgets
ps. you need to clarify  - write a exactly steps of what you want to do achieve

*

*load data from network ? then save ?

*or save request date ?

*or save result data ?

A: all happens here :
...
if (json_status.equalsIgnoreCase("Success")){
    Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "changed parent details successfully", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    startActivity(new Intent(getApplicationContext(),ActivityHome.class));
}
...

once you have a success response save the edited values on the preferences, for example etFirstName, save it is new value to the corresponding preference :
...
if (json_status.equalsIgnoreCase("Success")){
    Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "changed parent details successfully", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    editor.putString(AppConstants.PARENT_FNAME, parentFirstName);
    editor.apply(); //don't forget this
    startActivity(new Intent(getApplicationContext(),ActivityHome.class));
}
...

any way you're creating the editor but not using it.

The acts are being replaced by a traditional Berber music and dance troupe in the Morocco pavilion, a lumberjack-inspired show in the Canada pavilion, a Celtic music ensemble in the United Kingdom pavilion, and a corps of flag waving performers in the Italy pavilion.
There has been no replacement act announced for the Spirit of America Fife & Drum Corps.
According to Disney, Mo'Rockin', Off Kilter, and Spirit of America will have their final performances on September 27, while the World Showcase Players will have their last performance on September 25.
These announcements have caused quite a stir amongst Disney fans with some being excited for changes, and others being truly upset that old favorites are going away. How do you feel about this announcement? Leave a comment below and share your thoughts!
While I wasn't a fan of some of these acts, I always enjoyed and looked forward to the Spirit of America Fife & Drum Corp. The patriotic music, the colonial uniforms etc. all made for a very enjoyable experience. Why does Disney have to eliminate existing acts that many people love? Why can't they add things without taking away time-tested favorites? Maelstrom comes to mind too. Put a new Frozen show in the space formerly occupied by American Idol in DHS. Leave Maelstrom alone. I think Disney should be looking to enhance what's already there by adding new shows/attractions without removing others.
I'm looking forward to the new acts! I know that many folks are upset, and I will miss the acts that are leaving but I think that it will all be fine in the end. I'm really excited to see the new Italian flag corp. I'm sure that replacing entertainment options rather than enhancing them is a product of budget more than anything else.
I'm surprised the Spirit of America Fife & Drum Corps is getting the boot. I guess with Disney World becoming more and more an international destination, the more esoteric patriotic stuff is getting the boot.
Frankly, while I really liked Off Kilter & Mo'Rockin, they have been there a long time and were getting a bit stale. The replacements sound interesting. But getting rid of the Fife & Drum Corps is un-American!
Sad about the Fife and Drum and World Showcase Players. I love the patriotic harmonies of the Spirit of America, & think it's an important aspect of America at WDW.
No to the lumberjacks (seriously, Disney? Lumberjacks? Come on.) and a definite NO to Fife & Drum being booted out.
My husband & I will really miss Off Kilter. We always made a point of seeing their show whenever we were at Epcot. Taking away the Fife & Drum Corps really mystifies me. They were so representative of American history. I just don't understand that move at all. On the other side, I'm looking forward to the Celtic music ensemble and the flag waving performers.
I will really miss the The Fife and Drum Corps performance. Our kids grew up watching this and it stirs a certain amount of Patriotism. It is the one performance our entire family consistently looked forward to watching together.
I never, never miss Mo Rockin when we are there. They are one of my favorite groups at WDW. Too bad.
Please leave the Drum and Fife "act." When I stand in front of the American Pavilion and hear the drum and fife corps, it's like stepping back in time. This was a period in time when America gained independence and an incredibly important time of history. Let's keep this tradition going!!
Those performances have been going for quite some time and new performances and performers would be a nice change. My girlfriend and I will definitely miss Off Kilter and Mo'Rockin', though. They're going to have some big shoes to fill for the the Spirit of America Fife & Drum Corps. I can't wait to see what they change that with. Hopefully when I have enough discretionary income to spend on a couple annual passes next year, we can see all the new Epcot World Showcase attractions!
Why remove the maelstrom. One the favourites in Norway at epcot,the queues and figures will confirm this. I understand times change but this will be sorely missed.
Extremely disappointed about the loss of The Fife and Drum. The way this country is going at the present, we need more displays of patriotism, not less. What is Disney thinking?
Fife and drum must stay...or is Disney really becoming so anti American...as is being reported?
Beverly - There has been no confirmation on Disney's part of Malestrom being removed of significantly altered.
I am angry at Disney's trend of being anti-American. To cancel the celebration of the birth of the greatest nation to ever grace this planet and not have a replacement is beyond unforgivable. So wants next Disney, do we erect a shrine to Mohammad in place of the Fife and Drum Corps? Why wouldnt that surprise me? I will not be renewing my annual pass ever again.
My entire family is very disappointed that Disney has once again chosen to make a political statement out of what should have been a no-brainer. While it may not have been your intention, your decision to cancel the Spirit of America Fife and Drum Corps will be seen as Disney once again dismissing the very country that allowed it to even exist in deference to the stale fad of the cult of "multiculturalism". Removing the wonderful pageantry of our Colonial history does not make Disney more "liberal" but instead makes it seem more intolerant by choosing to not share America's unique beginnings with new generations of not only young Americans, but all of the new citizens we welcome to our shores. Since I have married a wonderful lady from the Philippines, who is now an official citizen of the United States, we were making plans to bring her daughter and nieces to Disney to specifically see the Fife and Drum Corps while we were there. But we get message. Disney apparently is only interested in keeping the traditions they deem "politically correct". We will therefore be travelling to Williamsburg Virginia, at much greater expense, this fall so that all of our "new citizens" will be able to experience some of our history first-hand and know that this nation is far more inclusive than Disney Co. would have them believe. Axe-wielding Canadian lumberjacks are just the kind of cliche'd stereotypes that children really don't need to be exposed to at a young age, so you won't be seeing my now rather large family thank you very much. "Disappointment" does not even begin to describe how we feel right now. Shame on you, Disney! Walt would not approve.
You know we're not Disney, right Eric? We're a fan site and have no control over Disney's choices, we just report on them.
I'm so sorry to hear of your disappointment in the change of Entertainment options at Epcot. However, the history geek in my thinks that if you're looking for a real taste of Colonial America for your new citizens, Williamsburg is a fantastic choice!
Kristen - you were wrong about Maelstrom. You seem to be an apologist for WDW. Dumb decision by Disney to can Fife & Drum - pure and simple.
You're right Dan, I was wrong and Disney did later announce changes to Maelstrom. I'm not happy about them, it was one of my "must rides" at Epcot and I personally think that they are jumping the gun on Frozen's longevity as well as departing the base concept of what Epcot is all about. But that's the way it goes, and I don't actually get a say in the matter in any way that counts.
Am I an apologist for Disney? No - not at all. I've been traveling to Walt Disney World since they opened 1971 and they have done more than their fair of things that I'm not happy with. However I do recognize that businesses grow and change, and Walt Disney was a huge proponent of changing with the times to keep things current. In fact I think that if Walt had lived longer we would have seen changes much more frequently than we do. Some of those things that change will be things I love, I'll be upset, maybe even a little hurt, but in the long run I'm not going to let them ruin my vacation.

National and international church leaders urge churches to engage with political leaders
Group says it's necessary for peace and justice
(Left to Right) Dr. Peter Prove, with the World Council of Churches, and Jim Winkler, National Council of Churches, joined the Rev. Dr. J. Herbert Nelson, II, for the Facebook Live broadcast of Coffee with the Clerk in Washington, D.C. this week. Photo by Randy Hobson.
Representatives from the World Council of Churches and the National Council of Churches are urging faith groups to engage with their political leaders. Jim Winkler, president of the national council, and Dr. Peter Prove, executive director of the WCC Commission of the Churches on International Affairs, appeared Monday on Coffee with the Clerk, a weekly Facebook Live broadcast with the Rev. Dr. J. Herbert Nelson, II, Stated Clerk of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.).
Winkler and Prove joined Nelson in Washington, D.C., to discuss the impact of the recent election results and discuss the role of various faiths in the work on Capitol Hill. Prove and Winkler say efforts to speak with members of the Trump administration have not been easy.
"Churches making up the National Council have not had access to the highest levels of government these last couple of years," Winkler said. "President Obama welcomed everyone whether he agreed with them or not. That doesn't mean churches had influence, but there was ready access to the government. The past two years have been challenging for many of us who have offices on Capitol Hill."
Winkler says various faith groups have been hampered and unable to fully express their concerns about what is happening around the world.
"We have working groups on a number of issues, including human needs, drones, health care. It's quite an advanced and sophisticated infrastructure," he said. "It's not just Christians, but other faith groups, including Hindus, Muslims, Jews, Buddhists, all working on every issue and trying to speak on behalf of the least, the last and the lost and to improve the situation for people in the U.S. and work for peace and justice around the world."
Winkler says the National Council of Churches will be trying to determine what the recent election results mean for all faith groups working with Republicans and Democrats on issues such as mass incarceration, education, health care and climate change. "One thing I'm sure of — the faith community will continue to work together in a coordinated manner to impact change in our nation."
Both Winkler and Prove agree that most faith groups in the country are actively engaged in the public arena, adding that that will continue no matter who sits in the White House.
Prove, a Lutheran lawyer and international affairs expert from Australia, says he's made numerous trips to the U.S. this year to keep dialogue open with government leaders.
"It's a struggle because there is a certain narrow bandwidth of the faith community that has privileged access to government leaders. One doesn't choose one's allies — one has to work with the opportunities that are there," he said. "Part of the reason I'm shuttling back and forth here is to build those relationships directly and indirectly."
As a lawyer, Prove says he can't relate to the idea that a church remains in a silo, isolated from the political environment.
"I can't understand how the church can be salt, yeast and the light if they are in a silo and not expressing themselves based on the fundamental faith values in the context of where they live and work and minister," he said. "I can't imagine that."
Prove says everything that relates to human relationships in the context of society is political by definition.
"It's nonsensical to consider withdrawing from political life. If we are talking partisan politics, it's a different matter," Prove said. "If churches tie themselves to one party over another, there is a risk. Churches should be independent of partisan politics, but deeply engaged in politics."
"Our congregations have the potential to be places where a great deal of productive, reasoned, calm conversation can take place," said Winkler. "Some churches forgo that for fear that any conversation about social and political issues is divisive, and we have to get beyond that, because there's no time to waste. We have unbelievable world-pressing problems that are weighing on us on a moment-by-moment basis."

Global Case Study
Demand on Global Resources
With the global population currently estimated at 7,2 billion people and projected to increase to 9,6 billion people in 2050, we need progressive technology that makes the most of the Earth's resources. Water is the most critical of our natural resources. The amount of fresh water available to us will never change; although, our demand on it escalates continuously. In the last 100 years, global water consumption increased fourfold. At the same time, water quality decreased.
Fresh water reserves are distributed as unequally as the global population. The majority of the population currently lives in underdeveloped nations, where more than one billion people lack access to clean drinking water. Populatin growth, paired with the industrialization of underdeveoped countries, will place more and more strain on our finite water resources. And one thing is for sure: any shortage of drinking water will have devastating consequences for the people who depend on it.
Global Urbanization
Around the world, people are leaving the countryside in fafour of the city. The rapid growth of urban centres has strained city systems, which were planned to accommodate far fewer people. As a result of overpopulation, city sewage is discharged unfiltered into groundwater. Consequently sewage treatment plants are overloaded and cannot succeed in providing consistent water quality. Unfortunately, the result is tap water, contaminated with germs.
A Mobile Population
People inhabitating developed nations are accustomed to high quality tap water. As the barriers to travel have decreased and the people of these countries travel the world, they inadvertently contract microbial deseases from contact with contaminated drinking water. In popular Asian and South American destinations, tourists must rely on bottled water - and contribute to a growing problem of waste plastics - or risk microbial infection.
Solution: UV Light fro disinfection
UV light offers a solution to the problems posed by contaminated water. Home UV systems - integrated into the plumbing - and portable UV filters - for on the go - allow people to live where they want and travel where they wish, always ensuring access to clean, safe water.
2003: Jamika, Indonesia
Only one house in Jamika has running water. All other residents fetch theirwater daily from wells or from the river. Much of this water is contaminated, as the river also serves as a public washhouse.
2008: Delhi, India
Delhi was planned for 1.4 million inhabitants, but is presently home to 14 million people. Though officials want to provide consistently clean water to all residents and visitors, Delhi struggles to manage its wastewater volume. Overwhelmed sewage treatment plants are unable to ensure purified drinking water.
2009: Kalemie, Congo
Africa has a great need for water, as well as many great lakes to help satisfy demand. There is more than enough water in the great lakes in Africa, such as Kalemie on the banks of Lake Tanganyika in the Democratic Republic of Congo; however, purifying this water and distributing it to outlying areas is a challenge.
2014: Beijing, China
Approximately 60 percent of the groundwater in China is too polluted to drink. During recent measurements, the water quality in 203 cities received "very poor" or "very bad" ratings, according to the official Xinhua news agency.
2014: Uzice, Serbia
For more than three weeks, residents of Uzice, Serbia lacked drinkable water. Toxic bacteria infected the lake that the town relied on for fresh water. Residents queued up each day in front of tankers and cisterns to receive their rations. Sadly, such occurrences are expected to continue, as many of Serbia's bodies of fresh water harbour similar bacteria.
2015: Mexico City; Mexico
In Mexico's metropolis, Mexico City, approximately 1.25 million people live without running water, while another million has irregular access. Since it rains up to eight months per year, rainwater is an obvious solution, which the less fortunate currently catch and use without any further purification; although this method provides much needed water, it leaves a large population vulnerable to microbial infection.

Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel
by Charlotte Owsley from San Diego, California in United States
Coco Chanel was an icon in the fashion worldhttps://www.thecultureconcept.com/coco-chanel-costume-culture Chanel Lead her company with elegance and powerhttps://cocoat5.blogspot.com/
For hundreds of years before the 1900s, women's fashion remained generally the same: long, floor length skirts, frills, ribbons, bows, and often corsets. But during the twentieth century, women's fashion finally started to change, largely because of one iconic woman. Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel revolutionized women's fashion with her undiscovered twist on the beauty of simplicity and elegance. Chanel was born in France out of wedlock, in 1883, to a boy who hated responsibilities and a girl who wanted a husband. Her relatives raised her until her mother died in 1895, then she moved to live in a convent orphanage (Chaney). She opened her first milliner shop in 1909. Her company later expanded to produce dresses, cardigans, purses, and her esteemed No. 5 perfume. She refined women's fashion from the ostentatious dresses of the nineteenth century and lead women to the sophisticated style that is quintessential of the twentieth. Chanel was a savior to oppressed women throughout the 1900s. She was willing to redefine the rules of society and create a new meaning to the word "fashion", Changing the lives of women all over the world. Because of her ingenious originality and bold movements in feminism, Coco Chanel can be remembered as a hero.
Chanel's influence on the Fashion worldhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3PP0eW3A3sChanel's unorthodox contributions to the fashion industry helped pioneer the twentieth century contemporary woman. She was the bridge between the old-fashioned and the modern day and was able to reinvent even the core ideals of women's fashion opening the doors to reinventing the modern woman: "Chanel's influence reached far beyond her role as purveyor of luxury goods for the rich. By transforming the fabrics, cuts, and practical designs of menswear for the free-spirited flapper of the teens and twenties, Coco Chanel revolutionized fashion. Her clothes liberated women from the constricting corsets and tight skirts of the Edwardian Era" (Rompalske). Chanel was the most influential person in the revolution of women's fashion. She freed women from the restrictions of tight, frilly clothing and chose instead to keep her designs clean, simplistic, and elegant. This change in fashion Coco brought about, was able to influence the roots of feminism as it grew to help women worldwide. In addition to rebuilding the foundation of the woman's fashion industry, "She invented so many things: minimalism, the easy tweed cardigan jacket, the little black dress, sportswear worn as daywear, androgynous tailoring, jersey, quilting and costume jewellery [. . .] Chanel was a feminist before the word truly existed, believing fashion could liberate women from the constraints of convention" (Rebel in a Little Black Dress whose clothes set women free). Chanel did not speak for the feminist movement, she created it. Like fashion, it was embedded in her blood and bones and was destined to create a revolution. Chanel worked hard to create a new sense of style that she believed was able to inspire others to change how the world viewed women. Overall, Chanel's contemporary clothing, perfume, and handbags were able to set in motion the feminist movement because of the message of simplicity, elegance, and liberation they portrayed.
I don't do fashion. I am fashionhttps://desenio.com/us/artiklar/poster-chanel-text.htmlChanel's fame from her career of haute couture gave her a platform to show off not only her style, but also her fresh personality and was able to stir an uprising against the way women were expected to act in society. Her social status enabled her to take risks that were publicized, and inspired woman across the globe, "Little by little, she expanded on the notion of trousers, showing up at the beach in white silk pants, black jersey top, and ropes of pearls, or in the evening decked out in silk pajamas. Though other designers such as Molyneux and Lanvin had offered similar looks in their collections, when pictures appeared in the fashion magazines showing Chanel in slacks, the buzz was on. She was her own best model and her own best publicist. No one else wore pants with such panache" (Rompalske). If she wanted to wear pants, there was no one to stop her. She would not conform to societal standards because Chanel was constantly herself. Her boldness inspirited the activists that took a stand in the twentieth century for the rights of women. Through her dauntlessness she taught women the best self they could be was themself. Moreover, Chanel instilled an era where women were encouraged to act on their own. Chanel once said: "The most courageous act is still to think for yourself. Aloud" (Coco Chanel Quotes). Chanel was ahead of her time in knowing that women should be allowed to think and act for themselves. She was one of the first people out there to truly make that change in the world. Chanel erased the stigma that women couldn't have a large influence on the world, but instead encouraged them to be their true self in all circumstances. Henceforth, her legacy will be a constant reminder to women to stand out in the world.
Chanel was a hero because she was able to reinvent the women's fashion industry and change the way women were expected to act in public. She introduced the art of elegance and simplicity, helping women feel confident in what they wore. She showed women an example of what it is to speak and act for yourself. She was a match that lit the flame of feminism and helped feed it to become the beacon of hope to women today. Chanel led one of the most bold and fearless lives of women living in the mid-twentieth century. Her touch on the style of women today can be seen in almost every article of clothing, every piece of jewelry, every fragrance, and every accessory. By first empowering herself with her success and confidence, Chanel was able to empower millions throughout the world. Chanel's heroism came from her example to women to carry yourself with confidence and grace, to always be who you are, and to hone your passions to drive your motivation in order to make a change in the world.
