MKHITARYAN TO MAN UTD FOR £30M?
March 7, 2016 March 7, 2016 adminUnitedDraxler, Mkhitaryan, Transfers
German football league giant, Borussia Dortmund are willing to sell Henrikh Mkhitaryan to Manchester United for £30.8million, according to latest reports.
Manchester United and Arsenal have been asking about procuring the services of the play maker even though the Bundesliga club expressed their desire to keep the Armenian playmaker at the club until the end of the season. Hence, the club set a release clause for the player. United bid for £19m but Borrusia Dortmund promptly rejected it.
Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke was adamant that Mkhitaryan would stay but the player's agent, Mino Raiola, confirmed he would still push for a move to Old Trafford this summer.
According to reports now from Di Marzio, the Germans would sell for £30.8m. they are believed to be set to offload the player as he seems interested in the move, since their best efforts at retaining him was failing. The club is reported to have quickly set up a shortlist of players to replace him with Chelsea attacker Andre Schurrle on top.
The Red Devils are reported to have lined up a backup in case the deal does not go through. The top contender is now Julian Draxler. Jose Mourinho has been impressed by the 22-year old, especially his performance for club and country. TransferMarketWeb reports that The Red Devils have even submitted cash offer to Wolfsburg to land the talented player.
Draxler has a current deal running till 2020 after joining the club last summer. With Draxler's teammate Andre Schurrle also linked away from the club, Wolfburg sporting director, Klaus Allofs insists that the players would not be leaving Germany this summer. He mentioned that the club is planning to make a return to Europe in the coming season using both players.

L'église Sainte-Cécile est une église située place de la Liberté dans l'ancien quartier de Frileuse, aujourd'hui Graville, sur les hauteurs du Havre, construite dans les années 1918-1922.

Histoire

Le quartier de Frileuse au tournant du XIXe et du XXe siècle
Englobé dans l'ancienne commune de Graville-Sainte-Honorine, l'emplacement actuel de l'église Sainte-Cécile n'était qu'une partie du bois des Hallates, devenu forêt de Montgeon. En raison de l'expansion urbaine et de l'industrialisation croissante de l'agglomération havraise, le manque de logements pour les ouvriers en ville basse conduit à de nouveaux projets d'aménagement de la ville haute. En 1906, l'architecte William Cargill obtient l'autorisation de la construction d'un premier lotissement à Graville. La paroisse de Sainte-Cécile est créée en 1910 par l'archevêque de Rouen. Avec la loi du 18 octobre 1919, le Havre annexe la commune de Graville avec le quartier de Frileuse.

De la chapelle à l'église
Le 7 août 1910, une chapelle Sainte-Cécile est ouverte au culte catholique. En 1918, la municipalité du Havre supervise l'aménagement de la place de la Liberté, après avoir acheté le terrain à William Cargill.  n projet d'un nouveau lieu de culte fut décidé dès 1917 pour remplacer la chapelle devenue trop petite. L'abbé Montier décide de bâtir à sa place une église plus grande et plus majestueuse, dont la première pierre fut posée le 11 août 1918. L'architecte Alfred Nasousky en dessine les plans et mène le chantier.

L'église est terminée en 1922, de style Art déco, elle fut appréciée des Havrais. Le clocher quant à lui est terminé bien plus tard, en 1929, et une cloche est installée la même année. L'église est munie de vitraux et de mobilier dans les années 1930 ainsi que d'un chemin de croix d'argent conçu par Nasouska Chantrel, installé en 1933. Deux autres cloches sont ajoutées en 1947.

Durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale en 1944, le clocher de style néo-gothique subit de graves dégâts à la suite du mitraillage des Spitfire anglais durant le siège du Havre. Il est restauré au début des années 1950 mais à la suite de l'explosion des projectiles des balles, les armatures ressortent du béton. En 1976, le haut du clocher est démonté.

C'est au début des années 1990 qu'un clocher de style néo-normand remplace son prédécesseur, l'église en piteux état au début des années 2000 est finalement restaurée en 2010 pour le centenaire de la paroisse. Les jointements des voûtes sont repris en 2010 et 2011, tandis que l'ensemble des vitraux sont déposés et restaurés.

Description
L'ensemble de l'édifice est construit en béton creux. Une technique à l'époque peu connue mais très peu coûteuse et efficace pour les temps de construction. Le plan centré en croix grecque complété par des absides aux angles, est orienté vers le sud-est. Elle possède trois vaisseaux, un transept saillant et un clocher-proche. Elle est terminée par un chevet polygonal flanqué de deux annexes.

Mentions littéraires
Dans La Nausée, un roman qui prend place dans la commune imaginaire de Bouville inspirée du Havre, l'écrivain Jean-Paul Sartre dépeint l'église de Sainte-Cécile-de-la-Mer, qu'il présente comme "la plus chère du monde" et faisant concurrence au Sacré-Cœur de Montmartre, synthétisant par là à la fois l'église Sainte-Cécile du Havre et la basilique de Lisieux, dont les travaux de construction avaient commencé en 1929.

Single- and double-strand DNA breaks in rat brain cells after acute exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic radiation
Lai H, Singh NP
Int J Radiat Biol 69(4):513-521, 1996
We investigated the effects of acute (2-h) exposure to pulsed (2-micros pulse width, 500 pulses s(-1)) and continuous wave 2450-MHz radiofrequency electromagnetic radiation on DNA strand breaks in brain cells of rat. The spatial averaged power density of the radiation was 2mW/cm2, which produced a whole-body average-specific absorption rate of 1.2W/kg.
Single- and double-strand DNA breaks in individual brain cells were measured at 4h post-exposure using a microgel electrophoresis assay. An increase in both types of DNA strand breaks was observed after exposure to either the pulsed or continuous-wave radiation.
No significant difference was observed between the effects of the two forms of radiation. We speculate that these effects could result from a direct effect of radiofrequency electromagnetic energy on DNA molecules and/or impairment of DNA-damage repair mechanisms in brain cells.
Our data further support the results of earlier in vitro and in vivo studies showing effects of radiofrequency electromagnetic radiation on DNA.

In 2009, the Fellowship received media attention in connection with three Republicans politician members who reportedly engaged in extra-marital affairs. Two of them, Senator John Ensign, and South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford, were considering running for President in 2012. The affairs of Ensign and then-Congressman Chip Pickering, R-Miss, took place while they were living at the C Street Center.
C-Street Controversy
C Street has been the subject of controversy over its claimed tax status as a church, the ownership of the property and its connection to the Fellowship, and the reportedly subsidized benefits the facility provides to members of Congress. Until 2009, C-Street was exempt from real property taxes. When it was revealed that rooms were being rented out as residencies, the exemption was amended to 34% exempt. Soon it was revealed that the Fellowship had no control over C-Street. Mainstream Christian Pastors filed a petition to revoke C Street's remaining tax exemption due to its secretiveness on the grounds that it is not a religious institute. Further investigations show that C Street charges its Capitol Hill residents rent that is well below market price for more tax breaks.

Cleveland joined the OU Law faculty in 2002, where he teaches courses in corporate law, federal securities regulation, and mergers and acquisitions. His scholarly articles have been praised by peers, and re-printed in the Corporate Practice Commentator and the Securities Law Review.
His teaching has been commended by his students, and in 2014 he was awarded OU's Merrick Teaching Award, which honors the faculty member who is considered most outstanding in bringing to students a better understanding and appreciation of the economic and political basis of American society.
His service to the legal community includes editorial responsibilities for The Business Lawyer, a publication of the American Bar Association.
Prior to teaching, Cleveland served as a law clerk to Chief Judge Henry A. Politz of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. He then practiced law in a Washington, D.C., law firm, where he worked on various types of business transactions, including tender offers, asset purchases, and mergers.
Cleveland earned his B.A. from the University of California at Los Angeles and his J.D. from Georgetown University. While a law student, he served as executive articles editor of the Georgetown Law Journal.

Q: jQgrid 4.9.2, In dropdown column, get selected value in custom function instead of selected text Hello everyone..!!!
I upgraded my jQgrid from version 4.8.2 to 4.9.2. Due to this I am facing problem to get selected value of dropdown column in custom func.
The scenario is, when I go to save record during Add/Edit operation, as per jQgrid work flow, the execution pointer first comes in custom_func: function (value, colName){}. The function parameter value should contain selected value of dropdown, but its gives me selected text.
I google this problem, but I didn't found any relevant solution. I hope someone here have faced same problem and might have found any possible solution.

                }
            }
        },
        editParams: myFieldsEditParams
    });

A: There are two main scenario used with edittype: "select".
The first one: one want allows the user to choose values from the list. For example, the user sees the grid which some column which have values like "send", "closed", "pending", "paid". No other values should be allowed for the user to be chosen. In the case one can use the options like edittype: "select", editoptions: { value: "send:send;closed:closed;pending:pending;paid:paid" }. It's important to understand, that one uses the values "send", "closed", "pending", "paid" to fill the grid and the same values will be saved in the grid during editing or to be send to the server if editurl not equal "clientArray".
The second scenario: one want to work with ids, but to display some readable texts for the user. For example one hold value 3, 5, 11, 7 internally instead of texts "send", "closed", "pending", "paid". Nevertheless one want to display the value (3, 5, 11, 7) as readable texts for the user. The corresponding options for the column will be formatter: "select", edittype: "select", editoptions: { value: "3:send;5:closed;11:pending;7:paid" }. It's important that one should fill jqGrid with input data having the value 3, 5, 11, 7 instead of the texts "send", "closed", "pending", "paid". In the scenario jqGrid hold values in the cells on the columns, but displays the values as texts for the user. During editing the user have select with the options which looks like <option value="3">send</option>. So the user sees the texts during editing in the same ways like in the grid. After the end of editing jqGrid saves values (the old value 3, 5, 11, 7 could be replaced to the new numeric value from the list). The scenario work in the same way in case of local editing (editurl: "clientArray") and in case of saving the data to the server.
I wrote above only about editing and not about the custom_func callback (specified by usage of the options like editrules: {custom: true, custom_func: function (value, colName, iCol) {...}}). It works here corresponds to the same scenario. If one uses formatter: "select" then the values will be saved in the column and so the values needed be validated. So the values will be forwarded to custom_func as the first parameter. On the other side if one uses the first scenario (without formatter: "select") then the texts will be saved in grid and the texts needed be validated and the texts will be forwarded as the first parameter of custom_func.
Thus you should verify which one from above two scenario you need to implement. If you really need to have values in custom_func then you should use
formatter: "select"

You should don't forget that you should use values for filling of the grid too. In the case only the values will be in the data of the column and the texts will be just displayed to the user to make editing more comfortable of to implement some other requirements, like localization for example. Using formatter: "select" you could for example hold texts "send", "closed", "pending", "paid" internally in the database, but to display the translation of the texts based on the user locale. The user will see and edit only translated texts, but you will save the original values in English.

Google Frees Up Android Device Makers to Comply with EU Rulings
By Ryan Whitwam on October 17, 2018 at 1:02 pm
Google has not admitted defeat in its ongoing battle with the European Commission, but it has announced some changes to its Android device policies meant to address the Commission's concerns. In the EU, device makers will have more freedom in the way they use and license Android from Google, but they'll also have to pay higher fees. Consumers may also start seeing some unusual Android devices that were not previously allowable.
Earlier this year, the EU announced a record $5 billion fine for Google over the way it licensed its software and services to Android devices. For years, Google's Android license has been an all-or-nothing deal. OEMs needed to pre-load Google Search, Chrome, and other apps if they wanted to have the Play Store. Google also restricted the use of incompatible Android forks by companies with Android licenses. Much of that will change in the EU going forward.
If a company wishes to sell phones with the Play Store, it can choose not to pre-install Chrome and Google Search in Europe. That frees them up to bundle apps from other providers, which could become an additional revenue stream. Consumers could still install Google's apps from the Play Store, but at least in the case of search, functionality may be limited as the app would not be a system component. If an OEM decided to do this, Google will charge an additional fee per device because bundling Chrome and Search is a core part of Android's revenue model.
Google is also planning to offer new deals to OEMs to encourage them to install Chrome and Search. These commercial agreements would pay device makers to add Chrome and Search, even if competing services were also pre-loaded. Honestly, I don't know who would by a licensed Android device that didn't have Google Search bundled, so OEMs will surely take Google up on this.
The last change is potentially much more problematic for Google. It will no longer stop its partners from selling devices with incompatible "forks" of Android — devices that don't work with Android apps and services. Since Android is open source, anyone can modify it for their own purposes. Google doesn't like its partners doing that because it can create user confusion and platform fragmentation. OEMs can ship such devices in the EU alongside licensed Android hardware, but forked software still won't have Google services.
Google says the new license terms go into effect on October 29th, but only for the EU. Everyone else has the same restrictions. In addition, Google is continuing its appeal against the European Commission decision to overturn the ruling.

Q: How to call the function through livewire with the value of a custom data attribute as a parameter? Good morning, does livewire read the data-* attribute?

Note: I found this question, but I don't know how to do it in this case. livewire data-attributes

Ex:
<input value="{{ $v->id }}" data-price="{{ $v->price }}" >

As I need to save only the ids in the table and price is only to add and update a variable $product_price.
But as the livewire only reads the value attribute then the ids are being added.
The case:
I have some products that have options and when selecting an option, the price of the product is added to the option.
This magic function does the sum and updates the price:
public function updatedSelectedOption()
{
  $price = 0.0;
  for ($i = 0; $i < count($this->selectedOption); $i++) {
     $price += $this->selectedOption[$i];
  }
  return $this->total = $price + ($this->product_price * $this->quantity);
}

View:
@foreach ($product->options as $index => $option)
 <div wire:key="option.{{ $index }}">
  <input type="checkbox" id="check.{{ $option->id }}" data-price="{{ $option->price }}" wire:model.lazy="selectedOption" value="{{ $option->id }}" class="sr-only peer">
 <label for="check.{{ $option->id }}">
  {{ $option->name }} - @money($option->price) - ID: {{ $option->id }}
 </label>
</div>
@endforeach

Home » Theory & History
By Socialist Party on December 16, 2021 in Theory & History
On the night of 5-6 December 1921, five men piled into a taxi at Downing Street, London, and set off for their lodgings in a state of shock. The British Prime Minister, David Lloyd George, had just issued a dramatic threat. Five months of peace talks had suddenly narrowed to a take-it-or-leave-it choice with an arbitrary deadline: either sign the "peace treaty", or face "war in three days."
The five men were delegates from Dáil Éireann, the parliament set up by Sinn Féin MPs who won landslide elections in 1918 and 1921 but refused to take their seats in the UK parliament. They had been sent to London to negotiate a peace treaty after several years of guerrilla war between the British Army and the Irish Republican Army (IRA).
Some of the Irish delegation at first refused to sign the treaty. But after agonising hours, they were worn down by threats and false promises from their fellow delegates. It was argued that if they signed, the partition of Ireland would be reversed. Meanwhile anyone who refused to sign would be held responsible for starting a war, and 'would be hanged from lamp-posts.'
Several times in those hours the delegates were ready to walk. But in the end they slunk back to Downing Street and signed the Treaty.
This was a key moment in the foundation of the southern Irish state. For the Irish ruling class, particularly for the Fine Gael political tradition, the signing of the Treaty is remembered as an act of statesman-like compromise and pragmatism. Many pro-imperialist historians of the revisionist tradition, who are closely connected with the thinking of Fine Gael, would also like to portray its outcome as an act of Irish people exercising their democratic right to self-determination, given that it won independence for a large part of the island. This ignores the fact that this was an agreement signed under duress in the face of threats from the largest imperial power in the world. It also ignores the fact that it helped copper-fasten partition, resulting the Catholic population of the North being imprisoned in a state in which they faced systemic discrimination and repression.
The Treaty was lauded as a 'stepping-stone,' a deal which made it possible to achieve true freedom in the future. But today we can look back from the vantage point of 100 years of 'freedom'; on the mother and baby homes, the Magdalene Laundries and mass emigration. The organised workers' movement was so powerful in the revolutionary period. Why was it thrown back so far afterwards? The same question can be asked about the role of women. So if the Treaty was a stepping-stone to freedom, why did it liquidate the aspirations of workers, women and youth, and hand power to 'the most conservative-minded revolutionaries that ever put through a successful revolution'?
The Irish Revolution — national & social
The struggle against British rule in Ireland involved the active participation of hundreds of thousands of ordinary people, especially workers and the poor. The anti-conscription general strike of 1918 was crucial. Boycotts of police and the British administration began that year in earnest. Strikes and civil disobedience campaigns spread. In 1919 there occurred the Belfast strike and the Limerick Soviet. April 1920 saw protests outside Mountjoy jail and hunger strikes on the inside, accompanied by a general strike of unprecedented scale that saw the establishment of Soviets.
The working class, poor and radical youth wanted to fight to the finish. The desire for national and social liberation was summed up in the idea of a 'Workers' Republic'.
But those in the leadership of the trade union movement had other ideas. They promised revolution in words while in practice de-escalating struggles and playing second or third fiddle to the Republican movement. For example, these were the words printed on the cover of the Voice of Labour on 2 March 1919:
Today the Soviet idea is sweeping westward over Europe […] The Soviet has shown itself the only instrument of liberation in Europe, the proletariat has shown itself the only honest and humane governing force in the world […] Again we say that Ireland's best and most effective answer is the immediate establishment of Soviets, the instruments which will bring about the dictatorship of the Irish proletariat.
But words were not matched by deeds. After calling off the Limerick Soviet the leaders of the movement agreed that it was 'not the occasion' for Revolution. This went hand in hand with the insistence by Sinn Féin leaders that 'Labour must wait.'
Nationalism filled the void of leadership left wide open by labour. Over the course of 1919 the Irish Republican Army (IRA) guerrilla struggle developed into a full-scale guerrilla campaign. The Republican 'gunman' became a romantic figure. The masses were reduced to the role of bystanders, cheering on the guerrillas and from time to time helping them but not taking a direct part in the struggle.
Over 1920 and into 1921 the IRA's armed struggle became the dominant factor in the south. Sinn Féin was now the undisputed leading political force.
Meanwhile the Government of Ireland Act had partitioned Ireland. In the new autonomous state of Northern Ireland ultra-sectarian mobs organised to decapitate a developing labour movement and terrorise the Catholic minority. Expulsions from workplaces, particularly of trade union militants, kicked off two years of sectarian violence known as the 'first Troubles.'
Already by late autumn 1920, we see the first peace overtures between the British government and the IRA. In other words, the IRA's guerrilla strategy hit its limits quickly. The first half of 1921 saw the bloodiest phase of the war. The IRA was not broken but it was sorely tested.
Sinn Féin's performance in the 1921 elections – another landslide – shored up the morale of the movement. But in mid-June, the IRA's director of intelligence Michael Collins received a report from an informer that contained chilling news. The British army had contingency plans for all-out war in Ireland. Martial law and colonial government would be imposed all over the south; military reinforcements would pour in; all transport would be stopped. The IRA would not have a real answer to such measures.
From Truce to Treaty
In July the IRA agreed to a truce with the British army so that a peace treaty could be negotiated. The whole country breathed a sigh of relief to be free from raids, ambushes, torture in police barracks, and all the grim features of the guerrilla struggle.
It was clear to the Sinn Féin and IRA leaderships that the war could not continue. Bar a few hardliners like Cathal Brugha, they were broadly in agreement on peace terms that would fall far short of a Republic. The bar was low. What happened over the next four or five months was that the delegates sent to London lowered the bar even further, past what many of their comrades were ready to accept.
The British politicians, with all the experience and self-confidence of the leaders of an empire, ran rings around the Irish delegates. It was a coalition government, and the Liberals used the Tories as a bogeyman. Lloyd George made false promises and bare-faced threats, and soon had Arthur Griffith in particular eating out of his hand.
The threat of 'immediate and terrible war' was not a false threat. But full-scale war was a dangerous and unpredictable course to pursue. The British empire was threatened by recent struggles in its other colonies (like India, Egypt and Nigeria) and in Britain itself trade unionists were in revolt. Army mutinies were a recent memory. Widespread sympathy for the Irish cause was part of a backlash against the militarism and propaganda of World War One.
The British ruling class would have given a considerable amount to avoid the risks of war. So in the negotiations, there were key elements that were still on the table: Ireland to be outside the British Empire though formally 'associated' with it; the source of sovereignty to be the people, not the Crown; Ireland to be neutral in foreign affairs and equal rather than subordinate to Britain.
Most importantly, there was the question of Northern Ireland. During the Treaty negotiations, 'essential unity' was still on the table – Northern Ireland as an autonomous area within Ireland. There was the possibility of each constituency in Northern Ireland holding a plebiscite (vote) to determine a new border. This might have been a fundamental challenge to partition. The questions of the Empire, the Crown, neutrality and equality were traded away in exchange for a false promise on Northern Ireland. The pro-treaty side were convinced that the British government's promise of a Boundary Commission would result in the end of partition. In reality there was zero chance that a commission set up by the British state would actually prove to be a neutral arbiter.
But these hopes were not dashed until 1925 when the Boundary Commission's report added insult to the injury that was partition. Not only did it propose only the most minimal changes, it proposed an exchange of territory in both directions! It was so shameful that both governments, north and south, agreed to suppress the report.
Treaty Debates
After the signing of the Treaty, Sinn Féin and the IRA split into pro- and anti-treaty camps. Months of debate followed.
Neither side in the Treaty debates offered a way forward and practically nobody had anything to say about Northern Ireland or the labour movement. Both sides had led the Irish Revolution into a situation where a sell-out was inherent. The difference is that the pro-treaty side embraced this destiny and vented their fury on all who stood in their way. Meanwhile on the anti-treaty side there was a brave but doomed attempt to salvage the struggle for independence.
After the five Irish delegates put pen to paper, 'public opinion' – i.e. newspapers owned by rich people – engaged in unrestrained celebration. The bishops were vocal backers of the treaty. Big businessmen and landowners too put their full weight behind it. It was clear that the wind was in the sails of the pro-treaty faction.
De Valera, President of Dáil Éireann, emerged as the anti-Treaty leader. His base of support was made up of shopkeepers, farmers' sons and intellectuals, the layers which had given so much to the guerrilla struggle. Far from the common perception that De Valera was a divisive firebrand, he tried to bring the two sides together with the infamous 'Document No. 2.' This alternative treaty was intended to unite the two factions, but it was ridiculed because it was so similar to the Anglo-Irish Treaty.
The cabinet voted 4-3 in favour of the Treaty and, after fierce and dramatic debates, the Dáil voted in favour by narrow margins. The anti-Treaty TDs walked out in protest. Michael Collins told his departing opponents that they were: 'Foreigners – Americans – English.'
The 'American' was De Valera, who was born in New York to a Cuban father — 'accusations' that he was born outside of wedlock were aired during the Treaty debates. 'English' referred to Erskine Childers. Later that day Griffith declared that he would not listen to that 'damned Englishman.' The following year, during the Civil War, that 'damned Englishman' would face the Free State firing squad.
Those who opposed the treaty did not stake their lives on 'Document No. 2.' Rather the anti-treaty camp united all those who felt that the revolution had unfinished business. It is significant, for example, that all the women members of Dáil Éireann sided with the anti-treaty camp. The left-leaning Republicans – like Kathleen Lynn, Constance Markiewicz, Liam Mellows and Peadar O'Donnell – ended up in the anti-Treaty camp too, although many of their leaders were far more conservative.
All a bluff?
During the Treaty Debates the Longford guerrilla leader Seán Mac Eoin made a remarkable statement. His men were willing to fight – and any 'who attempted to flinch my bullet crashes through their skull [sic].' But, he insisted, they did not have the means to fight. 'Whatever has been done, was done by bluff.'
So according to Mac Eoin, the IRA had been flying by the seat of its pants. The pro-treaty leaders had every reason to exaggerate, but even Mac Eoin's blunt statement reflects a certain truth, which was that there was no prospect of a military victory.
But the strikes and protests of the revolutionary period were certainly not a bluff. What's missing in a lot of commentary on the events of the period is an understanding that the real power lay not in a secretive paramilitary hierarchy but in the streets and the fields and the workplaces. As Conor Kostick wrote:
[…] without the willingness of hundreds of thousands of workers to boycott, strike, demonstrate and protest, the military activity of the 3000 or so IRA members who had managed to obtain guns would have proved insufficient.
During the Treaty debates, the pro-treaty camp denigrated and minimised their own guerrilla campaign. But they ignored the key point, which was that the revolution was much broader than that guerrilla campaign.
Labour leadership fails
But these real foot-soldiers of the revolution – those who struck, boycotted and marched – did not have a voice in the Treaty debates. The labour leadership once again took a back seat. It was pro-treaty, though the Labour Party was officially neutral. A contemptible statement from the ITGWU paper sums up the position: 'The Dáil and not Labour has been entrusted and invested by the Irish people with the authority and the responsibility. In that, the people may have done well or ill — it is for none of us to say now.'
Trade union branches were banned from debating the Treaty or passing resolutions on it. All those people who might have supported a labour campaign against the Treaty had a bitter choice: either to enter the confusion of the De Valera camp, or to be cast in the role of bystanders once again. The memoirs of the playwright Seán O'Casey record the reaction of trade unionists and political activists to the Treaty debates. The dominant mood is one of bewilderment.
There were some forces in the labour movement that did clearly oppose the treaty. Jim Larkin denounced the treaty as a sell-out. He did so, however, from Sing Sing prison where he had been jailed for his anti-war and revolutionary activities in the U.S. When he was released in 1923 he correctly argued that the Treaty should be fought through strike action and mass mobilisations. However, he did so at a time when workers were exhausted and demoralised by the reality of the civil war and the counter-revolution.
Similarly, other revolutionary socialists opposed the treaty. The new Communist Party, formed by James Connolly's son, Roddy Connolly, argued it would lead to "social hell" and alongside partition was the spearhead of the counter-revolution. However, this group was small and inexperienced and while it took initiatives to convince the anti-treaty side to adopt a radical programme, it largely acted as a cheerleader of anti-treaty forces who saw the key to winning as an armed campaign rather than fighting for a new revolutionary wave of strikes and mass protests.
What was the alternative
The best argument for the Treaty, from a Republican point of view, was that it got rid of the British army and allowed an Irish military force to take over. Although a British military presence continued in the 'Treaty ports,' the removal of the British army from Ireland was very significant.
But the bitter reality was that the new Free State military was a tool of the Irish ruling class, and still subservient to Britain. The pro-Treaty IRA, who had been so fearful of fighting the British, were ready to fight a civil war with their former comrades, to repress the movement of local Soviets, to place rural areas under martial law in order to crush strikes, to fire at postal workers on a picket line, etc.
Platitudes to the effect that the Treaty represented compromise and 'pragmatism' ignore several important facts. First, the British government was threatening a bloody reign of terror. In the words of Liam Mellows, "it was the fear of the people, not the will of the people" that accepted the Treaty. This does not fit the picture of dignified statesman-like deal-making.
Second, the republican leadership had already agreed to a 'pragmatic' sell-out; the issue is that the Treaty went a lot further. Third, the guerrilla struggle had run its course but the revolution had not. Far from it. The Treaty was in fact a conscious act to liquidate the revolution. The wealthy wanted 'law and order' so as to put an end to all the strikes. The Treaty represented counter-revolution. The best elements of the anti-Treaty side embodied a desire to rage against the dying of the light. But they lacked a strategy.
We have previously written that the Treaty and British imperialism could have been challenged:
if the leaders of the nationalist movement or of the labour movement had tried to mobilise ordinary people themselves into the struggle (or if the mass of people themselves mobilised) against military rule, on the promise that national freedom would also mean an end to economic and social exploitation. Then British imperialism and capitalism could have been threatened. Mass movements and struggle of that kind against British imperialism and its military would have gotten even stronger support in Britain.
The strikes and Soviets of the time point to the real possibility of this; the truce and treaty period saw some of the most impressive and far-reaching local strikes. A working-class movement could also have won the sympathy of Protestant trade unionists and challenged partition. As Peter Hadden pointed out, "The De Valeras, Griffiths etc., had no perspective for the mobilisation of the workers. Their prominence was one of the factors repelling Protestant workers in the North."
The reality of the Treaty was that it was not a 'stepping-stone' to anything for the workers' movement, for women, or for those who longed for a more just society. It did not move the situation forward but rather marked the beginning of the end of the revolutionary period. The potential to win a socialist Ireland based on the empowerment of working people, linked to a struggle for socialism in Britain and indeed Europe was lost. There was no further move toward freedom, but decades of the bishops calling the shots while people left the country in their hundreds of thousands. Considering the radical politics which characterised the revolutionary period – first and foremost within the labour movement – this was a terrible failure, a catastrophe.

Mark Leahy joins as Chief Business Officer and will oversee client facing operations and partnerships. Kate Karimson joins as Chief Commercial Officer and will run product, sales and lead new strategic opportunities.
Kate Karimson is a high impact executive with a deep knowledge of the fixed income trading space. She joins LedgerEdge from CME Group, where she most recently ran and built from the ground up BrokerTec's Global Dealer to Client, BrokerTec Quote, and led its interbank repo businesses globally.

Most recently he was COO at Trumid XT, where he played a significant role in leading the SGX and Trumid & Hillhouse electronic credit trading joint venture.

Ireland's Fittest Family
Updated / Tuesday, 5 Jan 2021 16:53
This year's series of Ireland's Fittest Family series return sees the toughest families in the country take on the most gruelling and physical challenges imaginable. It will be filmed over the course of three weeks in our new hub at Hell & Back in Kilruddery, Co. Wicklow. Set across acres of land at the foothills of the Wicklow mountains this is the perfect location to put our families through their paces.
There are four levels that families must compete to win the title. Starting in The Forest over four weeks, 16 families will become eight as each week two families will be eliminated.
The eight families that survive The Forest will progress to the quarter-finals in the lake and will be put to the test in the water.
Only six families will do enough to stay in the game and make it to the semi-final in the swamp.
The best four families will make it through to the final and these families will be pushed to new heights on the mountain
One family will reach the summit and be crowned Ireland's Fittest Family winner.
Sundays, 6.30pm, RTÉ One.


Above, reel life becomes real life! Nelson Eddy and Jeanette MacDonald in the most famous scene from their 1940 MGM hit, New Moon… the "Wanting You" number.
New Moon was the sixth Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy film and first made together after Nelson's marriage in January 1939 to Ann Franklin. Below, Jeanette recovering from her suicide attempt after Nelson's marriage… or as studio spun it, recovering from a bad cold. (Thank you, Woody Van Dyke II for your quick thinking that saved her life.) With little time to recover emotionally from the shock of Nelson's elopement, Jeanette headed out on her first American concert tour where the love of her fans filled the void in her heart, reaffirming both her star value and self-worth as a person. Returning to LA, she finally began tough, demanding negotiations for a new MGM contract, figuring she had nothing to lose.
Nothing to lose, that is, except her self-control when inevitably her next film was with Nelson. Intimate scenes like the one below would have to be shot with the finger stroking, the searing gazes, his wandering hands and involuntary lack of control which in this film is safely hidden from view thanks to the loose jacket flaps. Plus the fact that in several scenes he just holds her close, either face-to-face or with her backed in to him and held closely.
What woman wouldn't melt over those words, even one who was so distraught at the implications and morality issues facing them since it was unlikely that the studio would allow them both to divorce their spouses.
What happened next was a slow, deliberate wooing process. Literally being able to be able to sit across from each other and have a normal drama-free interaction like playing backgammon was a big deal at this point in time.
Folks say Jeanette and Nelson made love with their singing on-screen. Well, they did that in real life too. They would sing songs on the radio or in concerts that had special private meanings to them. In this case, it was a peeling away of the barriers and pain and re-establishing their own special brand of foreplay.
So…Nelson got right to work. On October 22, 1939, he took over hosting duties for absent Don Ameche on The Chase & Sanborn Hour. He sang more numbers than usual, following "Tramp, Tramp, Tramp" with "Londonderry Air." Why this song? Because alternate lyrics with the same melody is the song "Danny Boy" … a tribute to Jeanette and Nelson's lost son, baby Daniel Kendrick.
Additionally, Nelson sang a different version calling it a "romantic love song" with special lyrics by Helen Vordemann Knox, re-titled "My Love of Londonderry." Even the repeated mention of May (ie, Maytime) in the lyrics would have special meaning for both Nelson and Jeanette. The song starts about 4:40 minutes into the show and he sings it with heightened emotion and the tempo drawn out a bit. We have observed this pattern with him over the years when overly excited, lovesick or terribly upset with something happening in their lives.
'Twas in the merry, merry month of May.
'Twas there I found my own, my blue-eyed darling.
In one short hour she stole my heart away.
"Will you be mine?", I asked her, gently pleading.
But in that glance, I saw the love that never dies.
The birds were singing blithe and gay.
And wooed and won her heart to be my own always.
By the way, Nelson is in excellent, robust voice on this show and has an energetic, almost excited enthusiasm throughout the show.
For the finale of the program, about 53 minutes into it, Nelson gives a final punch by describing how Victor Herbert "translates romance into music" and then says he's combined a medley of "Sweethearts" and "For Every Lover Must Meet His Fate" – "which I hope will prove my point." Just in case Jeanette hadn't gotten his message loud and clear.
The very next day, October 23, 1939, Jeanette answered his "love call." She pre-recorded "One Kiss" at MGM for "New Moon" and one week later she sang it again on the radio; see Katie's blog post here to listen that show. Basically, it was an unnecessary number to sing at that time since the filming hadn't even begun so there was no movie to promote!
Actual shooting began shortly after with Woody Van Dyke directing.
The original cast included Buster Keaton as one of Nelson's "stouthearted men." The two goofed around on the set…but Keaton was later cut from the film once a new director took over, reasons unknown.
Here's an outtake scene, one of the few left with Buster Keaton still in the film.
And another outtake scene with Nelson and Jeanette and the gang, singing the Rondelet number (Dance Your Cares Away).
The scene was severely edited but you can hear the original recorded full number at the link below and it sounds like Buster Keaton is part of this recording.
Jeanette had her somber, reflective moments on set early on, pictured here with Buster Keaton. As noted in Sweethearts, her vocal stand-in commented that Jeanette fatigued easily, had trouble remembering her lyrics and would only rehearse and record alone, not with Nelson.
Director Woody Van Dyke was called away for Marine duty and Robert Z. Leonard took over. Even though he's in this picture, he's the forgotten man for the moment. Nelson and Jeanette are in their own universe…a fact that was commented on by so many people interviewed…and observable of photos of them with others around. In particular, Nelson's focus is usually totally and only on her.
17:00 Woody directed this scene as we have candid photos showing their laughter while filming.
42:00 The most outstanding scene of "New Moon" is the sexually charged "Wanting You" number.
I worked on many sets but very few where the actors could emotionally move the crew the way these two did. It was chilling and exciting. And then came the clinch. I don't think they realized what was going on. Finally Jeanette pushed him away, crying, and ran off. Nelson looked dazed and went after her. The next day they walked in together, arm in arm, with smiles you couldn't kill.
You can read an article of what to watch for in the "Wanting You" number at this link.
1:40. Robert Z. Leonard must have loved filming Jeanette's expressive eyes. Here's a closeup of her peering through the door slats while a war is happening in the distance.
And even the same in Maytime, Leonard framed her face (and Nelson's) which means he captured a very similar stylized shot of Jeanette in all three of the Mac/Eddy films he directed.
1:42 On this finale scene, we see a quick glimpse of Nelson's boyish grinning at Jeanette as he tightly grips her wrists while the camera pulls back and focuses attention on his stouthearted men marching off into the wilderness…or somewhere!

Q: How to publish an app the need a lot of users to be good I am making an app that allows users to post and view different topics.This app is like Pinterest.
My question is, When i first release the app, the first 100 people that download it, will see very little posts, and the user will most likely delete it. How do i launch the app so there are a lot of posts and activity going on so the users are happy?

A: Unless you want to have your app full of spam and fake posts which will definitely make your users want to leave, you will have to market your app much like any other app. Tell your friends, family, get into a few forums and let people know, use twitter or other social media.
It's just marketing. Build up a following before you release.
Edit
Although if what you mean is how can you get users to post more, you can use methods that allow people to post from using other services e.g, twitter, tumblr, instagram.

The Gandhi–Irwin Pact was a political agreement signed by Mahatma Gandhi and Lord Irwin, Viceroy of India, on 5 March 1931 before the Second Round Table Conference in London. Before this,  Irwin, the Viceroy, had announced in October 1929 a vague offer of 'dominion status' for India in an unspecified future and a Round Table Conference to discuss a future constitution. The Second Round Table Conference was held from September to December 1931 in London. This movement marked the end of the Civil Disobedience Movement in India.

Gandhi and Lord Irwin had eight meetings that totalled 24 hours. Although Gandhi was impressed by Irwin's sincerity, the terms of the pact fell manifestly short of those Gandhi had prescribed as the minimum for a truce.

Gandhi managed to have over 90,000 political prisoners released under the Gandhi-Irwin Pact.

Proposed conditions
 Discontinuation of the Salt March by the Indian National Congress.
 Participation by the Indian National Congress in the Second Round Table Conference.
 Withdrawal of all ordinances issued by the Government of India imposing curbs on the activities of the Indian National Congress.
 Withdrawal of all prosecutions relating to several types of political offenses (Rowlatt Act) except those involving violence.
 Release of prisoners arrested for participating in the Salt March; and
 Removal of the tax on salt, which allowed the Indians to produce, trade, and sell salt legally and for their own private use.

Many British officials in India, and in Britain, were outraged by the idea of a pact with a party whose avowed purpose was the destruction of the British Raj. Winston Churchill publicly expressed his disgust "...at the nauseating and humiliating spectacle of this one-time Inner Temple lawyer, now seditious fakir, striding half-naked up the steps of the Viceroy's palace, there to negotiate and parley on equal terms with the representative of the King Emperor."

Agreed terms by Government
 Withdraw all ordinances and end prosecutions.
 Release all political prisoners, except those guilty of violence.
 Permit peaceful picketing of liquor and foreign cloth shops.
 Restore confiscated properties of the satyagrahis.
 Permit free collection or manufacture of salt by persons near the sea-coast.
 Lift the ban over the Congress.

Not agreed terms
 Congress' demand of enquiring into police excess.
 Mahatma Gandhi's demand of converting death penalty of Bhagat Singh, Rajguru and Sukhdev to lesser punishment.

Lord Irwin at this time headed the repression of Indian nationalism, but did not relish the role, with British-run Indian Civil Service and the commercial community then favouring even harsher measures. Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald and William Benn, His Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for India, were eager for peace so long as it didn't weaken the position of the Labour government. As such, they wished for the success of the Round Table Conference and knew that it would carry little weight without the presence of Gandhi. In January 1931, at the closing session of the Round Table Conference, Ramsay MacDonald expressed hope that the Congress would be represented at the next session. The Viceroy, taking the hint, promptly ordered the unconditional release of Gandhi and all members of the Congress Working Committee. In response, Gandhi agreed to meet the Viceroy.

This was the second high-level meeting between Gandhi and a Viceroy in 13 years and should be read in the context of the Montagu–Chelmsford Reforms that were the basis of the Government of India Act, 1919.

Artist Denis Buckley in conversation with Future State's Stephanie Feeney. Image courtesy of Ruth Annett.
Spatial politics was on the programme long before a panel of speakers was drawn together under the same title. To not talk about spatial politics would have been to ignore the peripatetic nature of LAND │LABOUR │CAPITAL as it, and its participants, crossed over and back between the host gallery, Limerick City Gallery of Art (LCGA), and two contested spaces: 69 O'Connell Street; Occupy Space. Financial uncertainty means that 69 O' Connell Street, formerly the Belltable Arts Centre, no longer runs as the city's multi-functional space for dance, theatre, visual arts and music that it was intended to be, despite the high spec. interior and impressive technical facilities. Occupy Space (no relation to the Occupy movement), an artist run space, had itself existed as an itinerant organisation for a considerable time due to irregular support from funding partners. Indeed LAND │LABOUR │CAPITAL was one of the first events in Occupy Space's new, permanent, home on Cecil Street. In fact the entire Georgian Quarter of Limerick is contested, punctuated by empty buildings, like the ironically title The Bank public house, and multi-coloured 'To Let' signs. It felt appropriate that LAND │LABOUR │CAPITAL was part of the politics too.
Spatial politics and contested spaces exist everywhere, not just in Limerick. Lukáš Matoška, a philosophy student at FFUK Charles University in Prague, reflected on the many appropriations of Hotel Praha in Prague, a monument of the Czechoslovakian era and a state socialist regime. Hotel Praha has had a varied past: used for accommodating state VIPs during the socialist era; privatised and operated as a private hotel after the fall of the Iron Curtain; more recently, purchased by a private financial group that intends to demolish it and build a private school. Matoška likened the planned demolition to a tool for the ruling classes to erase traces of a former regime, one which it supposes has already been erased from the collective memory. Public protests and demonstrations in Prague show that this is not true. The demolition of Hotel Praha is a violent, neo-liberalist, re-mapping of psychogeographical space.

So when the question of whether the artist is the embodiment of the neoliberal worker was asked by Dr Judith Stewart, herself an artist and Independent Researcher, there was a moment of rupture. Stewart questioned whether socially engaged art, a form of art production that seemed particularly pervasive in Limerick, is an ethical process of art production and the complicity of artists in maintaining a flawed and unfair system. Stewart cited examples of artists engaged to work on social projects who are expected to bring about change within unrealistic time frames and little or no budget. By continuing to accept conditions of low pay, long hours and unrealistic outcomes, precarious working conditions for artists become performative and iterative.
Keynote speaker Dr Angela Dimitrakaki, Curator and Senior Lecturer in Contemporary Art History and Theory at University of Edinburgh, echoed Stewart's words. In her paper she pointed out the irony and contradictions in being repeatedly told that cultural work is valuable and important yet there is no funding to support it. The cultural worker goes unpaid and works late into the night. This is why, Dimitrakaki argued, that the art work as object or output must be separated from the process of the production of art. It is important to realise, she argued, the more successful the artist, the more access the artist has to autonomy. The successful artist establishes a studio, employs artist assistants to support production of the art, has access to a superior infrastructure and is in a better position to produce better work.

From artist as labourer to an artist whose research engages closely with themes of labour and land, Dr Deirdre O'Mahony described her art practice as a 'right to speak'. O'Mahony, who teaches at the Centre for Creative Practice at Galway-Mayo Institute of Technology, was one of the contributing artists to Labour and Lockout, a group exhibition running at the LCGA simultaneous to the conference. O'Mahony's installation, titled T.U.R.F. (Transitional Undertandings of Rural Features) featured archival material and art objects that drew attention to the conflict between the social and the natural landscape or, more specifically, the conflict between the use of rural landscape for leisure and livelihood. The 'right to speak' that her practice affords her is necessary, O'Mahony states, in the face of DAD (Decide, Announce, Defend) tactics employed by top down power structures against rural communities. She cites examples of the closure of rural post offices without due attention to the social impact on the rural community and unfair, if not illegal, processes for implementing EU Directives against farmers that impact livelihoods and long standing cultural traditions. The appropriation of cultural activities to re-present (alternative) narratives makes a difference, she urged, not least because one European policy maker described it as 'qualitative research' and something of which policy makers need much more.
O'Mahony went on to facilitate a T.U. R. F. Mind Meitheal, a part of her practice which creates a cultural space to examine, in this case, the effect of the implementation of the EU Habitats Directive on domestic turf cutters and their families. Mind Meitheal was something that Professor Nicholas Mirzoeff had in mind when he urged us create a 'commons'. Mirzoeff, Professor of Media, Culture and Communication at New York University Steinhardt and cultural theorist, has been closely involved in the global social movements that have arisen since 2011, in particular what we now know as the Occupy movement associated with the "We are the 99%" slogan, writing a daily observation of the movement's development in 2012. Resonance, Mirzoeff urged, is the means by which social change spreads and resonance can come about when a commons is created. O'Mahony spoke of the 'right to speak', Mirzoeff talked of 'the right to look'. A commons is created when we look at one another, acknowledge one another, show love. Commons, followed by resonance, comes into being at interstitial points: collaborate; network globally; visualise (he cites Visualizing Palestine as a strong example). Mirzoeff describes himself as a militant researcher, an activist academic, an academic who not only comments on activism but engages in it directly. The research he engages with is not simply about the activist causes, but designed to strengthen the cause further. The recently available Militant Research Handbook that Mirzoeff co-produced is an invitation to its readers to engage in militant research in a way that fits. It urges vision, re-imagining new spaces, changes from the ground up and optimism.
Professor Nicholas Mirzoeff in discussion with Dr Mark Curran Image courtesy of Ruth Annett.
Curran claims that the market is constructed and there is widespread complicity in creating and maintaining the construct. He pointed to more than one image of members of the Irish government photographed in global stock exchanges ringing the exchange bell to signify the opening of that day's trading, even at a time when Ireland was itself out of the market because of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and EU bailout, but still desperate, it seemed, to create the impression of normality. In his research and art objects he makes visible and audible the hidden functionality of the global markets so that it can be observed and explored. One hidden functionality is algorithms, employed in algorithmic/high frequency/black-box trading practices that replace human decision making and risk taking in market trading. The algorithms are capable of experiencing and self-evolving, which, it has already been warned could, over time, give rise to 'normalisation of deviance'. Curran reported alarming statistics in the growth of algorithmic trading that now account for as much as 80% of market trading in the US. Curran, along with Ken Curran, designed an algorithm to identify how often the Irish Minister of Finance used the words 'market' or 'markets' in public speeches since taking office in March 2011. The algorithm's output is manipulated into visual and aural forms and makes up part of THE MARKET installation. The extent and depth of Curran's knowledge was impressive and he confirmed that he continues to work on THE MARKET, buoyed by what he senses is a thirst from the general public to understand more.
There was more, much more than what has been mentioned here. Justice cannot be done to all of the rich discourse that evolved over three days, framed in the issues raised by Allan Sekula and Noel Burch's The Forgotten Space (2010), which was screened on the opening night: precarious labour, capital and information flows, global resources, global citizenship, exploitation, borders, art and visuality, activism. LAND │LABOUR │CAPITAL was rich, stimulating, invigorating, profoundly affecting, optimistic and collaborative and, without doubt, a formative milestone in Future State's existence.
Recordings of the event will be added to this website soon.
