The Baby K'tan is sized to fit the adult who will be carrying the child. Age or weight of child is not a factor.
If you are petite – 5'2″ or under – SIZE DOWN.
The Baby K'tan Baby Carrier is made entirely of 100% natural cotton knit fabric. The Carrier should fit snugly and securely on you and your child. For optimal fit, wash and tumble dry – this enables the carrier to conform more snugly to your body. If you are new to baby wearing, you may think the Carrier is too small, however, a snug fit is optimal for securely carrying your child and for good back support. The cotton knit fabric enables the Baby K'tan Baby Carrier to stretch slightly to conform to you and your child.


The country that suffered the most in the Eurozone crisis is seeking EU reform, not withdrawal, explains Dr George Kyris.
The European Parliament elections that have just taken place were arguably the most important in the history of the European Union.
The European Parliament has more power than ever before, demands have grown for greater democracy in the running of the European Commission and, above all, the elections provided an opportunity for the public to express their views on how the EU dealt with the unprecedented Eurozone crisis of recent years. And the public were clearly unimpressed.
Nowhere were these elections more interesting than in Greece, the country at the heart of the European crisis.
Indeed, the Eurozone crisis and Greece's two 'bail-out' agreements placed the EU at the top of the agenda in Greek public debate. Policies of austerity imposed on Greece inflicted real pain. The resulting resentment towards the EU and its austerity policies by Greeks captured the imagination of both national and international media: numerous flags of the EU were burned as part of protests that shook the country throughout the period of its economic adjustment.
In theatrical fashion, German Chancellor Angela Merkel's visit to Athens was marked by Greek protesters dressed up in Nazi uniforms as part of an indication of the public anger.
Behind these dramatic images, public attitudes of Greeks towards the EU have hardened. As the crisis years unfolded, so more and more Greeks viewed the EU in a negative light. When Greece joined the Eurozone, 51% of the population had a positive image of the EU – a much higher figure than across the rest of the EU, where support stood at 42%. Just a few months before the outbreak of the crisis, an impressively high 48% of Greeks still viewed the EU in a positive light, with only 16% holding a negative attitude.
Since then, the percentage of Greeks who hold a positive image of the EU has been constantly decreasing. By late 2013, EU support reached an all-time low of 16% – the lowest across the Union. Half of Greeks by then held a negative attitude. Yet Greek support for EU membership has not seen an equally large decrease. This suggests that, despite being frustrated with the way the EU has dealt with the crisis, Greeks do not challenge their membership of the 'European family'.
The campaign and results of Greece's elections to the European Parliament support this analysis. The election debate was fought mostly between two camps: on the one side stood the centre-right New Democracy and centre-left PASOK, the coalition partners for the past two years, who represented the status quo and implementation of the bail-out reforms put forward by the EU, the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund.
On the other side stood the main opposition left wing movement, Syriza, which called for a 'different Europe'. It portrayed itself as the 'radical anti-systemic choice', opposed to the austerity 'policies of the Chancellor' that, according to Syriza, were advanced by New Democracy and PASOK. In the event, the coalition partners saw their support drop substantially, with Syriza securing its first ever victory – though with support from little more than a quarter of those voting. Other parties calling for 'a different Europe' – including the newcomer River – also made important gains.
As a result, the country which most nearly brought the EU to economic disaster created a mood of Euroscepticism that was different to that in any other part of Europe. In Greece, calls for an exit from the EU did not win many votes. Those parties calling for Greece's exit from the EU – Golden Dawn and KKE – remain marginal parties, backed by only a small minority of voters.
Greece has demonstrated that it retains deep-rooted pro-European feelings. It is a small country for which EU membership provides an international voice. In terms of history and emotion, Greece sees itself as a country at the heart of Europe, with which it shares and helped forge the values of democracy and progress.
But recognising these factors behind the Greek public support for a European identity does nothing to diminish the anger it has expressed towards the leadership of the EU. Yet it is clear that the mood in Greece is different from that in other parts of the EU where populist parties won support for EU withdrawal.
Unlike the UK, France and some other countries, the Greek vote demonstrates that there is a large population of reluctant Europeans. While they might not challenge their membership of the EU, they do question the type of the EU they want to be a members of.
While the left in Greece has so far failed to promote a credible agenda, its success is important in testing how Europeans feel and this will hopefully inform the debate on the future of the EU. For this reason, 'Euroscepticism lite' is perhaps the most interesting type of Euroscepticism that the Eurozone crisis has so far generated.
This piece draws on a research project on EU and political parties during the Eurozone crisis, European Parliament Elections 2014 in Greece and Beyond.

Wimbledon: Rafael Nadal overcomes injury to beat Taylor Fritz in five-set quarter-final thriller
in Sports, Tennis
Rafael Nadal came from behind to beat Taylor Fritz in a five-set quarter-final thriller at Wimbledon as the Spaniard battled injury to keep alive his hopes of a calendar Grand Slam.
Nadal appeared on the verge of withdrawing as he called the trainer to tend to an abdominal issue during the second set, but twice came from a set down against the American to seal a remarkable 3-6 7-5 3-6 7-5 7-6 (10-4) victory in four hours and 20 minutes.
The 36-year-old Spaniard, who won the Australian Open and French Open earlier this year to reach a men's record 22 Grand Slam singles titles, will face Nick Kyrgios in Friday's semi-final, after the Australian advanced to the last four for the first time with a straight-sets win over Cristian Garin.
"The body in general is fine, of course in the abdominal something is not going well, being honest," two-time champion Nadal said on court after the match.
"I have to find a way to serve a little bit different. For a lot of moments I was thinking maybe I will not be able to finish the match."
"I hope to be ready to play. That's the first thing. Then, Nick is a great player in all surfaces but especially here on grass. He's having a great grass-court season. It's going to be a big challenge, I'm going to need to be at 100 per cent to have chances and that's what I'm going to try to do."
It was American Fritz, seeded 11, who halted Nadal's winning start to the season at 20 matches in the Indian Wells final in March when the Spaniard was hampered by a fractured rib, and it appeared history was repeating itself.

It was honours even in the New Year's Derby as Heart of Midlothian and Hibernian shared the spoils at Tynecastle with a 1-1 draw.
Jason Cummings struck midway through the first half to give Hibs a thoroughly well-deserved lead only for Jamie Walker to level shortly before half-time against the run of play.
The home side were better after the break, enjoying a lot of possession down the flanks, but chances were few and far between.
Boss Alan Stubbs kept faith with the same starting line-up that thumped Rangers 4-0 last weekend; new signing Martin Boyle was listed amongst the substitutes, alongside Dylan McGeouch, who returned following time on the sidelines after an operation on his ankle.
Hearts defender Alim Ozturk, who was the Jambos' hero in the last Edinburgh Derby, almost gifted Hibs an early opener when his mistake allowed Cummings a shot at goal inside the first minute, however Neil Alexander saved the defender's blushes by gathering.
Hibs were making most of the early running, not giving the Hearts players a moment on the ball and forcing them into errors.
When Scott Allan robbed Morgamo Gomis of possession on 10 minutes, he was subsequently fouled allowing Liam Craig the opportunity to shot for goal from the free kick which took a deflection from Prince Buaben and spun up into the arms of Alexander.
Hibs brave play was rewarded on 23 minutes when Allan's exquisite delivery was turned in at the back post by Cummings who brushed aside Ozturk before slotting away.
The young striker had a chance to score again soon after when he was picked out by a terrific Lewis Stevenson cross; this time the forward was just off target with a header as Alexander stood grateful and rooted to the spot.
Little had been seen of the hosts in an attacking sense however they soon began to find room down the Hibs flanks which led to opportunities for both Walker and Callum Paterson, although neither effort was on target.
Five minutes from the interval the hosts levelled when Adam Eckersley came in off the left wing and fed Walker, he took a touch before letting fly with a powerful drive that gave Mark Oxley no chance as it flew into the bottom corner of the net.
The home side buoyed by their late first half leveller went on the offensive after the interval with Sam Nicholson picking out the late run of Eckersley at the back post, the full-back got above substitutes Callum Booth however his header back across goal was wide of the far post.
Winger Nicholson was proving instrumental in Hearts attacking threat and from his corner Paterson headed onto the roof of the net before Nicholson himself headed over from an Eckersley delivery.
In the closing stages Hibs looked the stronger with substitutes McGeouch and Boyle proving a handful for the Hearts defence.
Hibs' best chance came with just five minutes remaining when Callum Booth's low cross was met by Boyle only for Ozturk to thwart him with a last-gasp block and ensure the points were shared.
Heart of Midlothian: Alexander, Paterson, Wilson, Ozturk, Gomis, Walker (King 73'), Nicholson, Pallardo, Buaben (Robinson 89'), Keatings (Oliver 92'), Eckersley. Substitutes not used: Gallagher, Holt, McKay, McGhee.
Hibernian: Oxley, Gray (Booth 46'), Hanlon, Fontaine, Stevenson, Robertson, Craig, Handling (McGeouch 67'), Allan, Malonga, Cummings (Boyle 84'). Substitutes not used: Perntreou, Heffernan, Kennedy.

Hillsborough County schools get new porn star
Hillsborough, Florida — The Hillsborough School District announced Tuesday that it has added a new member to its porn line-up, adding a 19-year-old named Tyler Moore.
Moore is a native of North Carolina who graduated from Hillsborough High School in March.
He currently lives in Florida and was previously working as a porn star.
The new addition to the Hillsborough porn lineup is also the first of its kind in the school district.
Moore told ESPN that the decision to add Moore to the porn lineup was not because he was a porn actor.
"I was just like, I want to be on this porn team," Moore said.
"I'm looking for some girls that I could be a part of."
The Hillsborough school district is also looking to add a few more porn stars to its lineup in the coming weeks.
This is the first time the school has ever added a porn performer to its roster.
"There are so many other girls that have already done this and I'm just looking to be a member of that," Moore told ESPN.
Moore said he started out at his hometown school in North Carolina but moved to South Carolina for college.
He said that after graduating from Hillsboro High School he went on to attend Florida Atlantic University.
Moore said he now lives in Orlando, Florida.
Moore, who has also performed for the likes of The Bachelor, American Idol, and MTV, said he hopes to eventually work for porn.
"Porn stars are not going to be able to stay in porn forever," Moore stated.
"But I'm willing to work for it and I would love to make some money off of it."

Why we need medical school in the 21st century
In the United States, a degree from a medical school can be a lucrative career in its own right.
But in Australia, it's not so common.
"There's no medical school that's the same as a doctorate," says Paul Taylor, an associate professor of economics at the Australian National University and the author of the forthcoming book "Medicine in Australia: How it Works, What It Costs, Who Should Go There, and Why."
Taylor is one of the authors of a recent article in the journal Global Health for which he and his co-author, Dr. Anthony D'Alessandro, a professor of global health at the University of Adelaide, compiled a comprehensive list of the top 100 top medical schools in the world, ranking the schools according to their performance in three broad areas: their medical faculty, their academic reputation, and their reputation for quality.
While there are other factors at play, Taylor and D'Alamo say their research suggests that a high degree of specialization in the fields of medicine and pharmacy is important in a country like Australia, where a large proportion of the population is also a physician.
"It would be nice if there were a high proportion of medical students," says D'Anamo.
The article was co-authored by Taylor and the researchers at the National Centre for Research on Educational Research (NCREER), the Australian Centre for Medical Research and Innovation, and the University's Centre for Health Systems Analysis.
It's a fascinating look at how medical schools work, where they are and what they're doing for their students.
In a nutshell, a medical education is about getting a degree.
"The most important thing is to get a degree," Taylor says.
"In the case of a doctor, you need to have a degree to be a doctor.
In the case, of a nurse, you can have a medical degree if you're a nurse.
But if you go to a graduate program in medicine, then the main thing you're going to want to do is get a doctor's degree." "
If you're an assistant professor, you're probably a doctor and you need a degree in medicine.
But if you go to a graduate program in medicine, then the main thing you're going to want to do is get a doctor's degree."
And the best way to do that is to do a master's degree in a particular specialty, Taylor says, and then a doctorates in those areas.
The best way for a person to get an associate's degree is to work as a professor, as opposed to a professor doing research, or an assistant, or a PhD, or whatever the title might be.
"So, the main reason is that you can go to an associate and then do a doctor or assistant or PhD, and that's very, very important," Taylor said.
The most common medical school, Taylor said, is a master of surgery or a specialist in a medical specialty, such as medicine or pathology.
"We're talking about, for example, an assistant in pathology, and you can get that at a medical college in the United Kingdom," Taylor explains.
"You can get the same thing with a physician."
But there are also some graduate programs, like those at the Royal Children's Hospital of Western Australia, which has a Bachelor of Medicine in paediatrics, and an Associate of Arts in general pediatrics.
The medical school is also often a specialty in which people specialize in different areas of medicine, such a dentistry or surgery.
"Most of the medical schools we have associate masters in general surgery and paediatrics," Taylor explained.
But for many years, he says, the Australian Medical Association has supported medical students to go to school in some areas of the country.
"But then you have the [Australian Medical Students'] Association, and so there is a push back from the Australian medical profession, because there are many people who want to go into the field of medical science in Australia," Taylor continued.
"And that's one of many reasons why we need to get medical school more widely spread in Australia."
But the Australian government has not always been so supportive.
In 2016, the Government of Australia's Joint Standing Committee on Medical Education and Research (JSMCER) released a report called "Advancing Medical Education in Australia", which outlined its position on medical school enrolment.
"Medical school enrolments in Australia have been steadily increasing in recent years," the report said.
"However, the proportion of people who are going to a medical institution in Australia has remained relatively stable at approximately 20 per cent.
What this means is that the number and quality of medical school graduates is still in a pretty poor position. "
Although there has been a significant increase in the number of primary health care enrolments since 2008, it remains very high at approximately 50 per cent," the committee said.
What this means is that the number and quality of medical school graduates is still in a pretty poor position.
According to the latest data from the Office of National Statistics, Australia had just over 4,000 graduates

Why are people still paying $20,000 for dental assistants?
What to Know The practice of dental assistants is increasingly being viewed as a business, not a profession.
That means a lot of people are paying money for an experience that is not necessarily the best for them.
A lot of the work they do, it's not the best fit for their personalities.
A growing number of people have been paying more and more for services, but are being turned away.
How to avoid paying the high price Some dental assistants are trained to perform cosmetic and dental services for $15 to $20 per hour.
That's on top of the $70 to $120 an hour that dental assistants typically charge.
Other dental assistants charge significantly more.
So you can't just go to a dental office and expect to get a $40 to $50 haircut, say, or $200 or $300 dentures.
And a lot dental assistants don't want to go into dentistry if they can avoid it.
"I would not want to be the kind of person that's just looking for a haircut or a dental appointment," says Lizzie Darden, a retired nurse who has been performing dentistry for 10 years.
Darden has worked for several organizations, including the National Organization of Black Women and the American Association of State Dental Assistants.
She has worked in a lot more offices and hospitals than her industry would support, and has had to pay out of pocket for dental care that she didn't need.
The Dentist who is most important to you, not the dental assistant you're paying for Darden says that you shouldn't be paying for someone to perform services you don't need and shouldn't think you should.
"If you're a person that doesn't want your dentist, that doesn's not going to be my first choice, but it's definitely not my last choice," she says.
She says it's also important to realize that if you are a dental assistant and you're not able to pay for what you're doing, it might mean that the person is a better candidate for the position.
The difference between a dentist and a dental hygienist is what they do on a daily basis.
A dentist will spend their days caring for the teeth and gums of the individual.
A dental hygenist will care for the mouth and gash.
A hygeneist will work on both sides of the mouth.
Dental assistants are often called the dental assistants of the future, because dentistry is one of the fastest growing fields in the medical field.
Dentists are the dentists of the present, says Dr. Charles Stokes, chairman of the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at the University of Washington School of Medicine.
"We're going to see more and better care being done by dentists, but the practice is going to evolve," he says.
The demand for dental services is high, especially among younger generations, and dental assistants have come to be viewed as the future of the profession.
But some dentists say it's important to pay attention to who you're working with and what they can offer.
"People are becoming a lot less patient about dental assistants and more willing to pay," says Darden.
She thinks that, more than anything, the growing demand for dentistry will continue to increase, and she is optimistic about the future.
"Dental assistants will be there for years to come," she adds.
But dental assistants need to understand that their work isn't always going to get the best care, she says, and that there will always be a price to pay.
"A lot of things you want to do can be done better with other dental assistants," says Stokes.

Why is the college admissions rate so low?
A college admissions report has some interesting statistics about the state of college education, but a key question remains unanswered: why is the state's college admissions rates so low.
While the national average for high school students is an astounding 64.4%, Harvard is in the bottom half of the states for students who enroll in college.
This is the highest rate of high school dropouts in the nation, according to the National Center for Education Statistics.
When students leave high school, they typically spend five years in college, but the National Association of College and University Business Officers (NCUABOU) reported that only one-third of students actually complete their degree requirements in their first five years of college.
The average GPA is a solid 2.2, but less than half of students graduate in four years of school.
The NCUABou reports that only about 30% of students who complete their degrees in four or five years actually graduate.
As a result, fewer than 10% of college graduates are earning a four-year degree.
For a large portion of students, the only reason they chose a college was to pay for a degree, not for the financial benefit of the school.
A lot of people would say, well, the financial payoff of a four year degree is pretty good, and that's just one reason.
But even though college costs more than the cost of a law degree, the average cost of getting a four or four-month law degree is $40,000.
The reason this is a big deal is because many colleges, like most businesses, need to fill the gap between a student's education and their employment prospects.
Many students, especially students with limited options, choose to stay home to work, which often means the cost to the student and the school is more than they can afford.
According to the NCUA, only about 40% of eligible students get a four and a half year law degree.
That's not the whole story, however.
A few years ago, a national study found that about half of high schools that do not offer four- or four month law degrees to their students do so because of financial incentives.
More and more schools are seeing the benefits of this new model and are taking advantage of it.
According to a recent study by the American Association of University Women (AAUW), the average school offers a four month high school law degree to students who take a four to six semester law degree program.
Another report found that a number of the country's best-performing public schools, including the University of Michigan, Michigan State, and the University at Buffalo, are offering four- and four-week programs to their graduates.
One reason colleges are expanding their four-course programs is to increase the number of students graduating from the school each year.
However, as a result of this, the number and quality of students entering college are declining.
To make matters worse, it appears that some colleges are being forced to lower the standards that they are aiming for.
The number of four-term students enrolled in four- to six-week high schools is declining, which has contributed to a sharp drop in the average GPA, which is an indicator of a student completing their degree.
This trend is a problem for students in many ways, but especially for students from lower socioeconomic backgrounds.
It can make it harder for students of color to attend college, who are disproportionately impacted by the economic disadvantage of having to attend an elite college, as well as those from families who are less likely to have a college degree.
When it comes to high school graduation rates, students of various racial and ethnic backgrounds have lower graduation rates.
According the NAUW, more than 20% of African American students who are enrolled in a four semester program finish in four to five years.
And in comparison, less than one-fifth of Asian American students graduate from high school.
While some of the data presented in this article suggests that higher-education funding may be a problem, the data is also encouraging.
According an analysis of the College Board's National Student Clearinghouse data, in 2016, only 20% to 25% of all students in the United States attended four-to-six-week institutions.
And while there is a huge difference in the quality of schools, more students from higher income families have access to college than lower income families.

Stanford University graduates get 'welcome mat' in US military
Stanford University students who completed the military academy this spring have a chance to receive "welcome mats" in the U.S. military.
The university has not said when those mats will be available, but the announcement is significant because of the number of graduates it is expecting to take to the academy.
The mat is for a total of 1,000 recruits, according to the Army.
The military expects to add another 600 new recruits in the next two years.
A U.N. official told the Associated Press on Wednesday that it will be ready to accept incoming students from next month.

How to get ready for school closers at the school you love
What to do if you're in a school closure situation: In the event of a school closing, you need to be able to get a car for the drive home.
But before you go, take these simple steps to make sure you don't miss a moment.1.
Get the school map.
The school map is your best place to find out what schools are closed.
If you can't find it, call your local library.2.
Check the website of the local news station.
It's a good idea to get the local TV news station to pick up the news of the day.3.
Check local newspapers.
Some are available on-demand.
The best news is delivered by local, independent newspapers.4.
Ask around.
Many schools have a Facebook page or a Twitter account to keep in touch with students and parents.
Get your school ID.
This is a must-have.
You will need it to enter the school.6.
Find out if your school has a phone network.
Many school phone companies offer a free service to help students and families connect and stay connected.7.
Ask the school board.
The board of trustees will usually be able, through their website, to get you in touch.
Check with your local public school district.
If you live in a city or rural area, make sure that your school district is on their list.
Check your state and local tax codes.
The federal tax code makes it very difficult for students and their families to pay for school materials.
If that's the case, the best option is to contact your local tax office.
Make an appointment to talk to a school counselor.
Many teachers are trained to handle student closings, so getting a coach can help.
Bring a lunch box or other school supplies.
If there are no lunch options at home, you can bring your own.
If the school has no cafeteria, bring lunch to school.
Be prepared to leave early.
Students are expected to be home by 4:30 a.m. and have breakfast by 5:30.
Be sure to arrive at school early, but be prepared to be out for two to three hours.13.
Get prepared for the long haul.
Many closings are temporary and do not last long, so you can work through the day and make plans to be back home on a different day.14.
If school is closed, be sure to make time to visit friends and family.
If your friends are in school, make them aware of your school closure status and be prepared.

Newark public schools have been shut after a series of deadly shootings
A number of New Jersey schools have had to be shut down because of a spate of shootings.
New York's New York City Public Schools, Newark's Public Schools of New York and Bronx Public Schools are among those that were closed.
The Newark Public Schools district has closed all but six of its 17 campuses, and it is also shutting down the schools of four more schools in the district, according to NJ.com.
As of Friday morning, there are 11 schools closed in the city of Newark, including six in Newark Public schools and six in the New York public schools.
Newark Mayor Ras Baraka said in a statement that the city will reopen the schools "when all schools are safe and secure."
The closures are part of a state-wide lockdown following the New Jersey shootings, which saw at least 13 people dead.
The Newark and New York schools have also shut down some day care centers, according the Associated Press.
A source told ABC News that the closures are "not related to the shooting at a New York day care center last night, but rather the response to recent events in New Jersey."
Newark Public Schools said in its statement that its "zero tolerance" policy for bullying and violence has been in place since 2014.
The district also shuttered all of its public buildings and schools on Tuesday, including the city's police headquarters, and closed the schools for the day, the statement said.

SANTA CLARA, Calif.
— A new report from the National Conference of State Legislatures and the New York City-based Center for Investigative Reporting says California's public schools could close in 2017 if the state Legislature does not address rising costs, budget shortfalls and the need to boost the state's economy.
The report, released Tuesday, found that California's state schools are on track to be closed by the end of the current school year and that more than 6,000 schools could be closed in the next five years.
The state has a projected budget deficit of $18 billion for the 2019-20 school year.

How to get a tattoo without the hassle of getting your face tattooed
Carmel High School students are getting their own high school tattoo.
Carmel High is the home of Carmel's tattoo artist, Brandon, and he's hoping the program will give students a chance to show off their talent.
In the school's art class, students have been encouraged to use their creativity to get the best work done.
They can paint on their arms, shoulders, or legs.
"We're not going to tell them what to do, but we're encouraging them to be creative," Brandon said.
"We're trying to give them a chance at getting their work seen, and maybe get their name out there."
The students can choose to have the work done in black ink, white ink, or both.
The art class is open to all students, and Brandon said they've already been doing some of the students designs.
"It's been fun for us to see some of them get a little more attention than we would have thought," Brandon explained.
Brandon hopes that the students get some recognition for their work.
"The main goal is to show that we're not just students," he said.
Carroll High School has a lot of talent in its art program.
Some of the school arts students have had success with other artists.
The students have even gotten recognition from the principal of Carrol.
"I feel proud of Carroll High," Carmel principal Matt Kapp said.
"There's been a lot going on in Carrol lately, and it's really exciting for our students and the community to have their work get noticed."
Brandon said the art class has been very popular with the students.
"People are really excited about it," he added.

Andrew, C. (2009) The Defence of the Realm: The Authorized History of MI5
Christopher Andrew, (2009) The Defence of the Realm: The Authorized History of MI5. Allen Lane Contains an extensive background to the founding of MI5 / SIS and the role of spy and invasion literature. To mark the centenary of its foundation, the British Security Service, MI5, has opened its archives to an independent historian. The Defence of the Realm, the book which results, is an unprecedented publication. It reveals the precise role of the Service in twentieth-century British history, from its foundation by Captain Kell of the British Army in October 1909 to root out 'the spies of the Kaiser' ...
Atkins, J. (1984) The British Spy Novel
John Atkins (1984) The British Spy Novel, London, John Calder Fiction about spies and spying – a genre of which British writers have generally been the most successful exponents – is a phenomenon which truly began in the twentieth century. Although Dickens's A Tale of Two Cities could qualify as spy fiction, it is really with The Riddle of the Sands by Erskine Childers that the genre really begins. Since then it has been dominated by writers of varying quality such as John Buchan, Ian Fleming, John Le Carré and Len Deighton.In this gripping account, John Atkins examines the subject ...

Morton, J. (2010) Spies of the First World War – Under Cover for King and Kaiser
James Morton (2010) Spies of the First World War - Under Cover for King and Kaiser, Kew, The National Archives When Colonel James Edmonds argued for a British secret service in 1907, officials mocked that he had ̀espionage on the brain'. But fracturing European relations and the resulting explosion in spy activity were to prove Edmonds' prescience. By the time of the First World War undercover agents operated in cities from Geneva to Paris, New York to Moscow, and German spies were being shot in the Tower of London.

Panek, LeRoy L. (1981) Special Branch : the British Spy Novel, 1890-1980
LeRoy L. Panek (1981) Special Branch : the British Spy Novel, 1890-1980 The author has chosen seventeen of the most important or representative British spy novelists to write about. He presents some basic literary analysis and criticism, trying both to place them in historical perspective and to describe and analyze the content and form of their fiction. Unfortunately he seems to miss the point sometimes - e.g. describing The Riddle of the Sands as containing overlong and detailed descriptions of sailing that must be tedious even to keen sailors. He doesn't seem to understand that one of the reasons The ...
Spy Fever: The Post Office Affair
Margaret Tait Flaws, Spy Fever: The Post Office Affair, Shetland Times Ltd (14 Mar. 2009) At the beginning of the First World War, stories of spies abounded throughout the British Isles. It was in this atmosphere that the entire staff of the Lerwick Post Office was marched off to prison and incarcerated for almost a week with no explanation from the authorities. One of those imprisoned was Margaret Flaws' grandfather and for the last few years the author has been researching the events which led up to the incident. Combining this research with details of how the event affected individual ...

David Stafford reveals the connections between fact and fiction as seen in the lives of writers with experience in intelligence, including John Buchan, Compton Mackenzie, Somerset Maugham, Ian Fleming, and Graham Greene. Le Queux used his spy fiction as xenophobic propaganda before and after World War I, and le Carré's novels have provided reflections on the ...

Woods B. F. (2007) Neutral Ground: A Political History Of Espionage Fiction, Algora Publishing Espionage fiction is one of the most popular forms of entertainment in the literate world and, since its widespread acceptance in the early twentieth century, it has sought to pursue the secret politics of Western social order. Drawn from reality, exposing what is generally concealed, it provides a unique glimpse into the darker, more conspiratorial affairs of state through the use of fictional covert actions, double agents, treason, and international intrigues.

Merry Christmas Victorianists!
December 19, 2008 at 9:38 pm	(General Victoriana) (Christmas)
And what better way to celebrate the festive season than with a bit of Dickens? Over at The Valve Rohan Maitzen has set-up a reading group for The Chimes (1844): not as well known as God-bless-us-every-one A Christmas Carol (1843), but interesting nevertheless. Go Valvewards, why don't you, and check it out; feel free to contibute to the ongoing discussion. (The Everyman edition of Dickens's Christmas Books is even edited by our very own Professor Sally Ledger). And for an added bonus, check Rich Puchalsky's account of going up a bell tower.
Merry Christmas to all, with a ho and a ho. And (why not?) another ho. [AR]
Some Victorian Links

A little pre-Christmas Victorian-y reading:
The Victorian Peeper has an interesting piece on George Frederic Watts' 1885 painting Hope (above), 'The Victorian Painting That Inspired Barack Obama'.
Rohan Maitzen thinks Silas Marner is 'every bit as good a secular fable for the holidays as A Christmas Carol–better, even.'
Adam Roberts writes about Zola's 1892 novel The Debacle.
Miriam Burnstein considers Paz's 2006 study Dickens and Barnaby Rudge, and in particular the differences between historians reading literature and literary critics doing it.

Aestheticism & Decadence: 'Pygmalion and the Image'
Morris's 'Pygmalion and the Image' is included in his The Earthly Paradise (1868-70), a multi-volume work: this tale is in Vol. II.
It can be easily accessed online. The Victorian Web has it online here, and, brilliantly, follows the ending of the poem with a series of links to Burne-Jones's paintings on the poem's subject, and a few critical articles that deal with key issues for both Morris' and Burne-Jones' approach to the topic.

Victorian Deathbed Scenes
December 4, 2008 at 9:23 am	(Uncategorized)
Dear C19th Novels,
I'm having technical issues getting those deathbed scenes on here for you all. For now, you can google-image the following — they're not difficult to find on the Net [4/12 2:30pm, posted them now! ed]:
George Cattermole, 'Death of Little Nell' (1841)
Henry Peach Robinson, 'Fading Away' (1858)
Luke Fildes, 'The Doctor' (1891) (although I reckon this child is recovering — dawn has broken).
I'm 'collecting' deathbed scenes in Victorian culture: we talked about the 7 or so such scenes in *Mary Barton* last week, and there are numerous in Dickens of course; any more suggestions gratefully received.
Quarterly Review 1868: 'Rather Hear the Flatulence of Camels than the Prayers of Fishes'
December 3, 2008 at 5:15 pm	(General Victoriana)
If you find yourself on Charing Cross Road, on that stretch between Leicester Square Tube and Cambridge Circus, I urge you to check out Quinto's second hand bookshop at 48a (on the corner of Charing Cross Road and Great Newport Street). Go downstairs, and turn hard right into a little room, and you'll find a splendid range of old bound volumes of nineteenth-century periodicals on special offer: half price, no less.
A little while ago I impulse-bought a lovely single bound volume of the Quarterly Review from 1868, and it cost me a mere £3.50. I love picking up volumes like this; it's a sort of lucky dip into various Victorian attitudes, opinions, facts and fancies. You never know what you're going to find. And in this case I got a veritable cabinet of wonders, all for less than the price of most of the glossy magazines on sale at Smiths. [Some issues of the Quarterly are available in their entirety for even less (free) on Google books … this 1815 one, for instance … which makes for interesting browsing if you've a spare online moment. But most are snippet view only, alas.]
Here's a taste of what the Quarterly 249 contains.
The first article is a lengthy review of The Life of David Garrick; from original Family papers (2 vols, London 1868) by Percy Fitzgerald M.A. F.S.A ('Author of the 'Life of Sterne' &c.), of which the Q has a low opinion:
Like Johnson's friend, Birch, Mr. Fitzgerald seems to be 'a dead hand at life.' Within two years or so he has grappled with Charles Lamb's and Sterne's, and now Garrick's is before us in two volumes that number together nearly a thousand pages. Like all hasty literary work it is much too long. If lives are to be written on this scale, we must, as Sydney Smith said, get back to the days of Methusaleh, when men's years were counted by hundreds and not by tens. [2]
Advice one or two modern biographers could usefully follow, don't you think? The second article is called 'Indian Railways', ostensibly reviewing the Report to the Secretary of State for India in Council on Railways in India for the year 1867-68 (an official report composed by the excellently-named 'Juland Danvers Esq., Government Director of the Indian Railways Companies'). Given that this is barely ten years after the Indian Mutiny, it makes very interesting reading by way of articulating the colonising power's complex mix of attitudes about the subcontinent. It opens:
It was the remark of Lord Dalhousie that nothing short of a great victory or a great reverse was sufficient to create in English society even a transient interest in the affairs of india. Since this truth was uttered, eighty-four millions of English capital have been invested in Indian railways, and forty-nine thousand English proprietors of stock and debentures have acquired a direct interest in the prosperity of our Indian administration and in the permanence of our rule. It may therefore appear redundant to offer any apology for devoting a few pages to a summary review of an undertaking which involves pecuniary considerations of so large an amount, and which is fraught with consequences of the greatest importance to our great empire inthe East, and to the hundred and fifty millions who compose it. [48]
I especially like the way that last number (which refers to people) is offered in exactly the same manner as the first number (which refers to pounds sterling); as if human beings and units of money are somehow interchangeable as far as this question is concerned. It's a thoroughly interesting article, actually; too lengthy to be summarised here. A couple of points. One is that the writer takes it for granted that peasants, whether Indian or English, will resist newfangled technology like Stevenson's railway engines (twenty years ago 'the people of Woolwich [were as likely] to suffer themselves to be fired off on one of Congreve's wonder rockets as trust themselves to the mercy of such a machine going at such a rate', 49). Another is the level of anxiety about the effect building the railways might have upon the Western employees themselves:
The establishment of railways in India has led to the introduction of several thousand Europeans employed in various subordinate posts on the different lines. The temptations to which many of them are exposed, when separated from the salutary restraints under which they were accustomed to live at home, demand the constant attention of the Companies, who are, moreover, the greatest sufferers from the casualties and invaliding entailed by their irregularities … The Directors have spared no pains or expense to improve their position, and to counteract their proneness to those indulgences which lower the national character and dishonour the Christian name in the eyes of the natives. [69]
Isn't that just fantastically tantalising? It almost compels you to wonder in what precisely these 'indulgences which lower the national character' consisted (I suppose we can imagine, broadly speaking …) But it's interesting to realise the extent to which commercial companies felt that the moral pressure to corall their workers was part of their broader investment strategy.
Then there's a review of The Poems of Samuel Taylor Coleridge ('edited by Derwent and Sara Coleridge, A New Edition. London 1854' … which is to say, this book had to wait fourteen years for its review. I bet the publishers were happy about that). There's a lengthy article on recent advances in Gunpowder technology; and an article just as long reviewing the History of Lace. By Mrs Bury Palliser. London, 1865 ('Lace is one of the most marvellous products of human industry, and, on looking at these fairy tissues, produced by infinitesimal touches of labour … one is struck with admiration of the profoundest character at seeing the victory of human hands in minuteness of toil'). Does the Q like the book? It does: 'This graceful ornament of civilisation has found a worthy historian in Mrs Palliser.'
The seventh article is a much duller account of Siluria, a History of the Oldest Rocks in the British Isles and other Countries. By Sir Roderick I. Murchison, Bart., K.C.B. But the eighth is the best of all: a review of nineteen separate collections of proverbs, from all around the world, that includes amongst the obvious candidates ('more haste, less speed', 'counting chickens before they are hatched') some of the most gloriously bewildering proverbial wisdom I have ever encountered. Make sense, if you choose, of the following:
He that hath swallowed the Devil may swallow his horns. [Italian proverb]
To steal a pig and give the pettitoes to God. [Spanish proverb]
The she-goat has not yet yeaned, yet the kid is playing before the house. [Zenobius]
A scalded cat dreads cold water [Spanish proverb]
He that travels alone tells lies. [Oji proverb]
Women and bairns lein what they kenna. [Scots proverb]
Better one's house too little one day, than too large all the year. [English proverb]
Rather hear the flatulences of camels than the prayers of the fishes [Egyptian proverb]
There's no accounting for tastes, I suppose. (The Quarterly, at least, offers an explanation of this last one: 'it bespeaks the Egyptians dislike of a sea voyage, which made him prefer the tedious land pilgrimage to Mecca'; which makes sense, but surely limits the applicability of the proverb.)
The final piece is a rather depressing article entitled 'Ireland once more', reviewing 'Journals, Conversations &c., relating to Ireland. By the late Nassau W. Senior', which begins: 'No apology is needed for so soon recurring to the subject of Ireland. It is, and we fear must long continue, the question of the day; the question to which statesmanship and patriotism alike yearn to settle.' The Q urges, by way of solution, the following: 'let us do, and do boldly and thoroughly' [276] without ever saying exactly what it is that the doing actually might entail. But history conclusively demonstrated that, in 1868, there was no immediate solution to that question forthcoming. [AR]

The Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) has urged Chancellor George Osborne to cut beer duty for a historic third time in next month's Budget, as a report estimates 1,047 additional pubs would have closed if the Government had not scrapped the beer duty escalator and cut beer duty in 2013 and 2014.
Tim Page, CAMRA's Chief Executive (pictured above) says: "It is fantastic to see that the beer duty cuts have had a real impact on beer drinkers and pub goers across the country, beyond keeping the lid on the price of a pint and keeping pubs open. Without these measures, fewer people would be able to afford a regular pint in their local pub, and yet more pubs would have closed. Reductions in beer tax have helped keep pubs open, created new jobs and kept increases in the cost of beer at a historic low.
CAMRA reports that 500 election candidates from across the parties have pledged support for community pubs and real ale ahead of the General Election. CAMRA has issued a challenge to each of the parties to get their candidates to add their support.
Candidates from 350 constituencies backed the campaign. So far Labour candidates have shown the most support with 167 backing the pledges, with Conservatives at 108, Liberal Democrats at 103, the Green Party at 76 and finally UKIP with 31.
With 29 pubs a week currently closing in the UK, CAMRA say it is essential that future MPs pledge their support for the pub and beer industry, an industry which it is clear people still believe to be important – with 75% of pub-goers* saying a well-run community pub is as important to community life as a post office, local shop or community centre.
"Pubs are hugely important and deserve to be properly protected and supported. CAMRA want to see action in the next Parliament from newly elected MPs and we are urging all parties to include commitments in their manifestos to supporting real ale and community pubs." Tim Page added.


This has been an interesting season for the Cleveland Browns, to say the least. After going 0-16 last season, rookie QB Baker Mayfield brought home the W (and free beer) for the people of Cleveland with a 21-17 win over the New York Jets. Not only that, all of their regular season games have been fairly close, with the exception of their match up against the Los Angeles Chargers. The Browns currently hold a 2-5-1 record, with four of those games heading into OT.
With a vast improvement in both performance and record from last season, it led to more than a few people being surprised about yesterday's firings of head coach Hue Jackson and offensive coordinator Todd Haley. The Browns have named defensive coordinator Gregg Williams interim head coach. Some people were shocked by the news, but of course, our fans weren't. We ran a poll about Jackson's firing on our @TheFANToken and @FCFLio Twitter accounts, and the results speak for themselves.
The internet has had a bit of a field day with the news, producing some top notch memes and one troll in particular creating a job posting (which has since been deleted, but we've got you covered with screenshots below) for the position on Indeed.com. Now, if these were our fans, we imagine they would handle the firing of their team's coach a little differently. While we do think there would be some razzing of the coach in question, we also think they would be a step ahead of the game and have potential candidates in mind prior to the actual firing. We also think that after turning their team's performance around, they may give the coach a bit longer of a grace period before giving them the axe. What do you think fans? Are we spot on with our guess?

AUS-NZ Cyber Security Delegation Inspired By Israeli Innovation
Monday, July 3rd, 2017
Israel is recognised as a world leader in Cyber Security defence capabilities and a delegation from Australia and New Zealand explored some of the latest cutting edge developments in a visit that coincided with the annual Cyber Week in Israel conference in the last week of June.
The delegation was led by Mr Paul Ash, Director of New Zealand's National Cyber Policy Office who sits in the Prime Minister's Office, and comprised of over 30 delegates from government, the private sector and academia. The delegation was organised by our office together with the Innovation Circle.
In addition to the activities at CyberWeek, the delegation made a number of site visits to leading organisations in the Israeli cyber security ecosystem, including CyberSpark, Israeli National Cyber Bureau, Israeli CERT, CheckPoint and other Israeli Start-Ups with technology in Cyber Security.
The visit underlined how much Australia and New Zealand can benefit from mutual Cyber Security innovation and partnerships with Israel, especially in an age where critical infrastructures are becoming rapidly digitalised.


This program analyses an existing Matroska(tm) file and modifies some of its properties. Then it writes those modifications to the existing file. Among the properties that can be changed are the segment information elements (e.g. the title) and the track headers (e.g. the language code, 'default track' flag or the name).
Lists all known and editable property names, their type (string, integer, boolean etc) and a short description. The program exits afterwards. Therefore the source-filename parameter does not have to be supplied.
Sets the parse mode. The parameter 'mode' can either be 'fast' (which is also the default) or 'full'. The 'fast' mode does not parse the whole file but uses the meta seek elements for locating the required elements of a source file. In 99% of all cases this is enough. But for files that do not contain meta seek elements or which are damaged the user might have to set the 'full' parse mode. A full scan of a file can take a couple of minutes while a fast scan only takes seconds.
Sets the Matroska(tm) file section (segment information or a certain track's headers) that all following add, set and delete actions operate on. This option can be used multiple times in order to make modifications to more than one element.
Adds a property name with the value value. The property will be added even if such a property exists already. Note that most properties are unique and cannot occur more than once.
Sets all occurrences of the property name to the value value. If no such property exists then it will be added.
Deletes all occurrences of the property name. Note that some properties are required and cannot be deleted.
Add or replace tags in the file with the ones from filename or remove them if filename is empty. mkvpropedit(1) reads the same XML tag format that mkvmerge(1) reads as well.
The selector must be one of the words all, global or track. For all mkvpropedit(1) will replace or remove all tags in a file. With global only global tags will be replaced or removed.
With track mkvpropedit(1) will replace tags for a specific track. Additionally the tags read from filename will be assigned to the same track. The track is specified in the same way edit selectors are specified (see below), e.g. --tags track:a1:new-audio-tags.xml.
Calculates statistics for all tracks in a file and adds new statistics tags for them. If the file already contains such tags then they'll be updated.
Deletes all existing track statistics tags from a file. If the file doesn't contain track statistics tags then it won't be modified.
Add or replace chapters in the file with the ones from filename or remove them if filename is empty. mkvpropedit(1) reads the same XML and simple chapter formats that mkvmerge(1) reads as well.
If the option --attachment-name has been used prior to this option then its value is used as the new attachment's name. Otherwise it is derived from filename.
If the option --attachment-mime-type has been used prior to this option then its value is used as the new attachment's MIME type. Otherwise it is auto-detected from the content of filename.
If the option --attachment-description has been used prior to this option then its value is used as the new attachment's description. Otherwise no description will be set.
If the option --attachment-uid has been used prior to this option then its value is used as the new attachment's UID. Otherwise a random UID will be generated automatically.
Replaces one or more attachments that match selector with the file filename. If more than one existing attachment matches selector then all of their contents will be replaced by the content of filename.
The selector can have one of four forms. They're exlained below in the section attachment selectors.
If the option --attachment-name has been used prior to this option then its value is set as the new name for each modified attachment. Otherwise the names aren't changed.
If the option --attachment-mime-type has been used prior to this option then its value is set as the new MIME type for each modified attachment. Otherwise the MIME types aren't changed.
If the option --attachment-description has been used prior to this option then its value is set as the new description for each modified attachment. Otherwise the descriptions aren't changed.
If the option --attachment-uid has been used prior to this option then its value is set as the new UID for each modified attachment. Otherwise the UIDs aren't changed.
Sets the properties of one or more attachments that match selector. If more than one existing attachment matches selector then all of their properties will be updated.
Sets the name to use for the following --add-attachment or --replace-attachment operation.
Sets the MIME type to use for the following --add-attachment or --replace-attachment operation.
Sets the description to use for the following --add-attachment or --replace-attachment operation.
Sets the character set to convert strings given on the command line from. It defaults to the character set given by system's current locale.
Turn on experimental features. A list of available features can be requested with mkvpropedit --engage list. These features are not meant to be used in normal situations.
Be verbose and show all the important Matroska(tm) elements as they're read.
Reads additional command line arguments from the file options-file. For a full explanation on the supported formats for such files see the section called "Option files" in the mkvmerge(1) man page.
The --edit option sets the Matroska(tm) file section (segment information or a certain track's headers) that all following add, set and delete actions operate on. This stays valid until the next --edit option is found. The argument to this option is called the edit selector.
The segment information can be selected with one of these three words: 'info', 'segment_info' or 'segmentinfo'. It contains properties like the segment title or the segment UID.
Track headers can be selected with a slightly more complex selector. All variations start with 'track:'. The track header properties include elements like the language code, 'default track' flag or the track's name.
If the parameter n is a number then the nth track will be selected. The track order is the same that mkvmerge(1)'s --identify option outputs.
If the parameter starts with a single character t followed by a n then the nth track of a specific track type will be selected. The track type parameter t must be one of these four characters: 'a' for an audio track, 'b' for a button track, 's' for a subtitle track and 'v' for a video track. The track order is the same that mkvmerge(1)'s --identify option outputs.
If the parameter starts with a '=' followed by a number uid then the track whose track UID element equals this uid. Track UIDs can be obtained with mkvinfo(1).
If the parameter starts with a '@' followed by a number number then the track whose track number element equals this number. Track number can be obtained with mkvinfo(1).
Due to the nature of the track edit selectors it is possible that several selectors actually match the same track headers. In such cases all actions for those edit selectors will be combined and executed in the order in which they're given on the command line.
Selection by attachment ID. In this form the selector is simply a number, the attachment's ID as output by mkvmerge(1)'s identification command.
Selection by attachment UID (unique ID). In this form the selector is the equal sign = followed by a number, the attachment's unique ID as output by mkvmerge(1)'s verbose identification command.
Selection by attachment name. In this form the selector is the literal word name: followed by the existing attachment's name. If this selector is used with --replace-attachment then colons within the name to match must be escaped as \c.
Selection by MIME type. In this form the selector is the literal word mime-type: followed by the existing attachment's MIME type. If this selector is used with --replace-attachment then colons within the MIME type to match must be escaped as \c.
The following example edits a file called 'movie.mkv'. It sets the segment title and modifies the language code of an audio and a subtitle track. Note that this example can be shortened by leaving out the first --edit option because editing the segment information element is the default for all options found before the first --edit option anyway.
The second example removes the 'default track flag' from the first subtitle track and sets it for the second one. Note that mkvpropedit(1), unlike mkvmerge(1), does not set the 'default track flag' of other tracks to '0' if it is set to '1' for a different track automatically.
0 -- This exit codes means that the modification has completed successfully.
1 -- In this case mkvpropedit(1) has output at least one warning, but the modification did continue. A warning is prefixed with the text 'Warning:'. Depending on the issues involved the resulting files might be ok or not. The user is urged to check both the warning and the resulting files.
2 -- This exit code is used after an error occurred. mkvpropedit(1) aborts right after outputting the error message. Error messages range from wrong command line arguments over read/write errors to broken files.
For an in-depth discussion about how all tools in the MKVToolNix suite handle character set conversions, input/output encoding, command line encoding and console encoding please see the identically-named section in the mkvmerge(1) man page.

Q: SQL error when adding new scaffold in RoR I made a new scaffold
rails generate scaffold hobbies description:text

and deleted it because I wanted to add more fields
rails destroy scaffold hobbies

then readded it
rails generate scaffold hobbies description:text schedule:text

Now, when I run rake db:migrate, I get this error
SQLite3::SQLException: table "hobbies" already exists: CREATE TABLE "hobbies" ("id" INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT NOT NULL, "name" varchar(255), "description" varchar(255), "created_at" datetime, "updated_at" datetime) /Users/Aeip/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p353/gems/sqlite3-1.3.8/lib/sqlite3/database.rb:91:in `initialize'

A: do rails d scaffold hobbies description:text
then rails generate scaffold hobbies description:text schedule:text

A: $> bundle exec rake db:drop db:create # caution: it destroys your database

Then run the generator again

A: This solution doesn't work everytime you want to undo a migration but for your scenario it works just as fine since all you need to do is to drop the hobbies table.
Take note of the timestamp of the migration file when you ran the generator
rails generate scaffold hobbies description:text schedule:text
>> invoice active_record
>> create    db/migrate/20140309162533_create_hobbies.rb

Since you want to delete the hobbies table, you need to run the down version of the migration and you can do that using rake db:migrate:down.  Be sure to pass the timestamp of the migration you want to run.
rake db:migrate:down VERSION=20140309162533

It now has a population of around 240,000. According to the Census of 2000 the population was only around 141,000. The counties explosive growth is thanks to it's proximity to Atlanta and being easily accessible via I75.
If you think the name "Cherokee" might have something to do with the Cherokee Nation of Indians, you are absolutely right. The county was actually named after the Cherokee Indians living there in the 1830's, before they were forcefully removed, and was part of the infamous Trail Of Tears. Removing the Cherokee Indians allowed the county to be used for agricultural uses including the cultivation of corn and cotton as well as the mining of both gold and marble.
The county's fourth court house which was built in 1929 was built with white marble from Georgia and today houses the counties administration offices.
The county seat is named Canton, which has an interesting story all it's own. The name was taken from the city in China because residents tried to establish a silk trade in the late 1800's. Prior to that, it had been called Etowah, for the Etowah River that cuts through the town.
The Canton Cotton Mills, founded by R. T. Jones in 1899, was the county's main industry until the mills closed in 1981. The Canton Cotton Mills was the main source of industry for the county from 1899-1981, and the Mills are still standing to this day.

Q: Spring Boot validation message is not being resolved I am having trouble getting my validation message to be resolved.
I have been searching and reading through the web and SO for some hours now, I want to relate the question with the marked answer of Customize spring validation error
I do have a MessageSource bean defined and the messages.properties it getting read correctly, as I also use it for regular text to be displayed with th:text="#{some.prop.name}, which does work absolutely fine.
It is just the validation error that won't work the way it should.
I'm sure it's a stupid mistake I just overlook...
The validation itself works fine.
Constraint:
@NotEmpty(message="{validation.mail.notEmpty}")
@Email()
private String mail;

messages.properties:
# Validation
validation.mail.notEmpty=The mail must not be empty!

Template part:

The displayed text:
{validation.mail.notEmpty}

I tried a lot of variation, all without success.
@NotEmpty(message="validation.mail.notEmpty")
@NotEmpty(message="#{validation.mail.notEmpty}")

Will just show the exact value of the messages string, no parsing.

Will result in an error.

EDIT:
After debugging, I stumbled up on this:
Class: org.springframework.context.support.MessageSourceSupport
Method: formatMessage(String msg, Object[] args, Locale locale)
will be called with
formatMessage("{validation.mail.notEmpty}", null, locale /*German Locale*/)
And it will run into if (messageFormat == INVALID_MESSAGE_FORMAT) {
So... my message format is not correct. This is way out of my scope/knowledge. Anyone knows what that means?

A: It looks like you are missing LocalValidatorFactoryBean definition in your application configuration. Below you can find an example of Application class that defines two beans: LocalValidatorFactoryBean and MessageSource that uses messages.properties file.
import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
import org.springframework.context.MessageSource;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.support.ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource;
import org.springframework.validation.beanvalidation.LocalValidatorFactoryBean;

@SpringBootApplication
public class Application {

    @Bean
    public MessageSource messageSource() {
        ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource messageSource = new ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource();
        messageSource.setBasename("classpath:messages");
        messageSource.setDefaultEncoding("UTF-8");
        return messageSource;
    }

    @Bean
    public LocalValidatorFactoryBean validator() {
        LocalValidatorFactoryBean bean = new LocalValidatorFactoryBean();
        bean.setValidationMessageSource(messageSource());
        return bean;
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
    }
}

Having LocalValidatorFactoryBean bean defined you can use custom validation message like:
@NotEmpty(message = "{validation.mail.notEmpty}")
@Email
private String email;

and messages.properties:
validation.mail.notEmpty=E-mail cannot be empty!

and Thymeleaf template file with:

Name Error

Sample application

https://github.com/wololock/stackoverflow-answers/tree/master/45692179

I have prepared sample Spring Boot application that reflects your problem. Feel free to clone it and run it locally. It will display translated validation message if value posted with form does not meet @NotEmpty and @Email validation.
WebMvcConfigurerAdapter configuration
In case of extending WebMvcConfigurerAdapter you will have to provide validator by overriding getValidator() method from parent class, e.g.:
import org.springframework.context.MessageSource;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.context.support.ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource;
import org.springframework.validation.Validator;
import org.springframework.validation.beanvalidation.LocalValidatorFactoryBean;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.EnableWebMvc;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.WebMvcConfigurerAdapter;

@Configuration
@EnableWebMvc
public class WebConfiguration extends WebMvcConfigurerAdapter {

    @Bean
    public MessageSource messageSource() {
        ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource messageSource = new ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource();
        messageSource.setBasename("classpath:messages");
        messageSource.setDefaultEncoding("UTF-8");
        return messageSource;
    }

    @Bean
    @Override
    public Validator getValidator() {
        LocalValidatorFactoryBean bean = new LocalValidatorFactoryBean();
        bean.setValidationMessageSource(messageSource());
        return bean;
    }

    // other methods...
}

Otherwise if you define LocalValidatorFactoryBean bean in other place it will get overridden and there will be no effect.
I hope it helps.

A: I am using 2.2.7 Release of Spring boot and it worked by just changing the property file name to ValidationMessages.properties and no other config required.

A: I had the same issue and after reading the answers here I found out that the file name should only be 'ValidationMessages.properties'.
I first named it something else and it wasn't working for me either. until I renamed it to ValidationMessages.properties

A: regarding to the answer of Wais Shuja and Ramesh Singh I confirm with it because I think this is the proper solution you looking for. I expand their answer:
In folder /resources/ you can create as much files as languages you are support. In my web app I use German and English. Therefore, I create these two files:
 - ValidationMessages_en.properties
 - ValidationMessages_de.properties

Then, thanks to Spring magic, you can do this:
@NotNull(message = "{error.mandatory}")
@Size(min = 1, message = "{error.mandatory}")
private String forname;

Depending on the language stored in the CookieLocaleResolver Spring chooses appropriate file and inserts the text.

A: Not sure which version of spring boot you are using. I am using Spring boot 2.0.1.RELEASE. A clearer solution would be move all your validation messages to ValidationMessages.properties. This way you don't have to override the auto-configured Validator() and setting the MessageSource.

A: For rest controllers you will then have to add @Valid annotation on method parameter's request body. e.g
@PostMapping
public User create(@Valid @RequestBody User user){
  //...
}

A: @Configuration
public class LocalizationMessageSource {

    @Bean
    public MessageSource messageSource() {
        ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource messageSource = new ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource();
        messageSource.setBasename("classpath:messages");
        messageSource.setDefaultEncoding("UTF-8");
        return messageSource;
    }

    @Bean
    public LocalValidatorFactoryBean validator() {
        LocalValidatorFactoryBean bean = new LocalValidatorFactoryBean();
        bean.setValidationMessageSource(messageSource());
        return bean;
    }
}

And you should validation anotation with blank beyween message parameter like this ;
public class User{
  private @NotNull(message = "{serviceNumber.required}") String serviceNumber;

}

This usage is wrong one.
public class User{
  private @NotNull(message="{serviceNumber.required}") String serviceNumber;
}

A: after struggling with this problem ,i just reboot the computer and everything works fine
i am using spring boot version   2.4.2


Thank you all. The area is recessed in comparison to the rest of the surface.
Well then, you might be correct about struck through (a thin metal remnant that fell off).
Laminations are recessed as well but tend to be uneven and rough under the missing metal.
Optical trick of the eye, acetone will have an effect on this, might not removed it completely but you will see it has something on the coin if you dip in acetone.
