Q: resize image, add watermark then save i read some topics similar to this but couldn't understand
i just want to upload images resize them then add watermark and finally save
this is my code :
     $targetDir = "picem/";
     $watermarkImagePath = 'icon/stamp.png';

if(!empty($_FILES["file"]["name"])){
    // File upload path
    foreach ($_FILES['file']['name'] as $name => $value)
  {
    $fileName = explode(".", $_FILES['file']['name'][$name]);
    $new_name = md5(rand()) . '.' . $fileName[1];
    $targetFilePath = $targetDir . $new_name;
    $fileType = pathinfo($targetFilePath,PATHINFO_EXTENSION);

    // Allow certain file formats
    $allowTypes = array('jpg','png','jpeg');
    if(in_array($fileName[1], $allowTypes)){
        // Upload file to the server

        if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"][$name], $targetFilePath)){
            // Load the stamp and the photo to apply the watermark to
            $watermarkImg = imagecreatefrompng($watermarkImagePath);
            switch($fileType){
                case 'jpg':
                    $im = imagecreatefromjpeg($targetFilePath);
                    break;
                case 'jpeg':
                    $im = imagecreatefromjpeg($targetFilePath);
                    break;
                case 'png':
                    $im = imagecreatefrompng($targetFilePath);
                    break;
                default:
                    $im = imagecreatefromjpeg($targetFilePath);
            }

            // Set the margins for the watermark
            $marge_right = 10;
            $marge_bottom = 10;

            // Get the height/width of the watermark image
            $sx = imagesx($watermarkImg);
            $sy = imagesy($watermarkImg);

            // Copy the watermark image onto our photo using the margin offsets and
            // the photo width to calculate the positioning of the watermark.
            imagecopy($im, $watermarkImg, (imagesx($im) - $sx - $marge_right)/2, (imagesy($im) - $sy
             - $marge_bottom)/2, 0, 0, imagesx($watermarkImg), imagesy($watermarkImg));

            // Save image and free memory
            imagepng($im, $targetFilePath);
            imagedestroy($im);

i would really appreciate if someone help me to make the result of
                 imagepng($im, $targetFilePath);
small image because right now i get some files with the size of 10MB

Thanks again for the benefits of your research into the Coptic translations.
Your comments are deeply appreciated.
I find the Bible to be its own best interpreter, and for that reason I value those translations -- ancient and modern -- that faithfully render the original texts.
I just checked back in to my blog and noticed that you posted a comment about my post on the John 1:1 verse mistranslation and Dr. Mantey's refuting of the Jehovah's Witnesses referring to his work as something supporting their claims. The whole point of that post is to show that he does not agree at all with their claims, I am not necessarily arguing greek becasue I've only taken 1 semester of it and couldn't argue it if I wanted to. Having said that I would certainly say that the Jehovahs Witnesses claims to Jesus not being God in the flesh and in their view actually being Micheal the Arch Angel I would say that they are completely misguided and confused. I will make a note of your page and share it with my Greek professors and get their opinions on it.
Thank you for your comments. However, Mantey is on shaky ground when he "refutes" the NWT, yet says that the Greek of John 1:1 points to a quality rather than an identity.
You might also update Mantey with the same conclusions reached by Philip B. Harner and Daniel Wallace.
Of course Trinitarians do not like the NWT translation of John 1:1, because it does not support the unbiblical doctrine of the Trinity.
But the only relevant question is, Does the NWT faithfully translate the Koine Greek of John 1:1?
You might note, however, that Greek professors are not necessarily competent in Coptic. They are two separate languages.
Lots of good information here involving translation issues on Jn. 1:1 and the ancient Coptic N.T.
Thanks for all the work Memra.
I was surprised though at your mention in this blog article that the grammar of Acts 28:6 has a pre-verbal syntax reading like Jn. 1:1c in some Greek texts.
Could you please expand on that a bit. As to what specific texts or manuscripts have this variant reading?
Your comments are appreciated. The pre-verbal anarthrous variant QEON AUTON EINAI rather than AUTON ENAI QEON is noted in "The Complete Biblical Library: Acts" (Springfield Missouri, USA, 1986, 1989), page 662.
This reference work cites the 4th century majiscule (large Greek letters) manuscript 01Aleph, majiscule manuscript 0201, the printed edition of Tischendorf, and texts in the Byzantine text family.
Since this is a variant, it is not the main point under discussion, just an interesting note. The main point is that in other instances of Coptic *ou.noute* in the New Testament, it is customary to render this in English as "a god," whether the Greek QEOS is pre-verbal or not.
Thanks for this. I have used Acts 28:6 before in the ministry, as a verse that is constructed in exact parallel to the wording found at John 1:1c. Of course, no one said about Paul that he was God.
But I haven't used that verse lately because I want to be sure I am portraying its grammatical construction accurately. Am I?
Yours is a real specialty - blogging on the Coptic. A much appreciated resource.
Thanks for your kind words. Anything closer to the time of the original writings is likely to reflect their meaning. The Coptic does this many times.
As for Acts 28:6 in the Greek texts, it corresponds to John 1:1c in that it is anarthrous, and many translations render it as "a god."
However, Acts 28:6 is a text that has variant readings. Some of the variants put "theos" before the verb "enai" (to be), making it exactly parallel to John 1:1c, where "theos" is also pre-verbal. Other variants put "theos" after the verb.
Either way the meaning is the same, but it is the variant readings that put "theos" before the verb that correspond exactly, in Greek, to the construction found at John 1:1c.
I have also bookmarked your blog. Very interesting reading.
However, neither translation would have us believe that the natives thought that Paul was God Himself. If the natives thought that Paul was "divine" in this verse, they were thinking more along the lines of Paul being "a god-like one," one having the qualities of a god.
In no way could we derive from the text that Paul shared the same nature, essence, or substance of the true God. He was just a god, a god-like one, divine.
Those reading the Trinity into the Sahidic of John 1:1 are reading their theology into the text, because the Sahidic is only saying that the Word is a god, a god-like one, divine.
Some Trinitarian apologists were just too quick to write defensively about the Coptic version without actually having learned Coptic, and therefore published obvious errors.
"the Word was a god/god-like/divine."
Yes, translating the Greek of John 1:1 into another language honestly is a tradition that goes back 1,700 years. The NWT follows the faithful example of the Coptic translators.
As Jason BeDuhn wrote, the Greek grammar of John 1:1 is easy to understand and translate if not influenced by biased traditions.

You're a writer not a designer. You work with words not a palette of colours. Your business is text not image.
What follows has been partly inspired by Julie Phillips, author of the Article Antics blog, and Diane Perry of the Working 2 Write blog. Julie recently posted here that her writing tutor had asked her to capitalise the first word of her articles. Not unreasonably, she wondered why. Diane, in response, also wondered why.
Why indeed. I have no clue. I'm open to enlightenment, but I remain in the dark. So until such illumination descends, I'd strongly advise against it. Although capping up a word isn't the most exaggerated of aesthetic touches that can be applied to articles, I'd still urge you to avoid it or any other artistic affectations in your work, be they dramatic or subtle. Editors dislike them. Quite a lot.
Just because your font library boasts Palatino Linotype does not mean 'What the hell – may as well give it a whirl!' is an appropriate response. Engraved and embossed cyan text may sound pretty, but not to a frazzled editor with strained eyesight and scratched bifocals. Watermarks? No. And ditto clip art. No boxes with borders and shading. No drop capitals. For the love of heaven please please no dingbats or I'll cry.
I don't mean to be unkind, but if you fuss about with the design you risk giving the impression you're all image and no substance. It's just a bit distracting and amateurish.
There's nothing intrinsically wrong with all these effects, you understand. If you want to use them in emails to friends, in the newsletter you send out to relatives abroad, even on your blog – fine. But these are all occasions when you're both a writer and a designer. All publications have their own designers – and you're not one of them. Let those who are do their job.
So, here's what I think. Roman 12pt font throughout, black (always black), single spacing if sending by email, double spacing if hard copy, a line between paragraphs, no indenting, four one-inch margins. Bold for titles and sub-headings if you like. Italics in exceptional circumstances (but don't italicise quotes; just put them in inverted commas). If you have sidebars or box-outs add them to the end of the article, and treat each as an extra paragraph with a sub-heading of 'Sidebar'. If sending by snail mail use nice white sheets (no less than 90gsm) and envelopes which don't look cheap.
A neat professional image. That's all you need project.
Of course there are exceptions: photography, if requested and/or applicable, can be sent (but separately); ditto other graphics or line-drawings, if you're talented and qualified to provide them.
But on the whole, you're a wordsmith and so aim for smart simplicity of presentation.
And remember they're called bullet points not cute-little-orange-butterfly points for a reason.
Thanks for your most welcome clarification. I thought I was going mad when I read my tutor's suggestion and I have no intention of capitalising the first word of my articles! I have always submitted my articles in standard text and spacing – unless otherwise stated in the submission guidelines and I've never had a problem – I still get published!
I quite agree that styling, fonts and design are the remit of the editor of the magazine – all the editor wants from us is clearly typed and easily readable standard text – I always advise to follow the magazine's guidelines to the letter – if it's not in the guidelines then don't do it!!

Twenty-Four Airmen Awarded DFCs for AC-130 Missions
—Brian Everstine
Lt. Gen. Brad Webb, commander of Air Force Special Operations Command, and Air Commandos with the 4th Special Operations Squadron, prepare to enter a Distinguished Flying Cross ceremony at Hurlburt Field, Fla., May 11, 2018. USAF photo by A1C Rachel Yates.
Twenty-four airmen from the 4th Special Operations Squadron at Hurlburt Field, Fla., were awarded Distinguished Flying Crosses for four separate engagements, all of which included an AC-130 protecting friendly forces in Afghanistan.
"All of the DFCs presented today were earned in the dangerous skies of Afghanistan," Air Force Special Operations Command boss Lt. Gen. Brad Webb said in a release. "Although dates and objectives differ, the general mission remained the same, … defend Americans and their partner forces, and decimate the enemy."
Twenty-one airmen received the awards during the Hurlburt ceremony, and three were unable to attend.
The first of the engagements took place on July 25, 2016, when an AC-130U was providing high-risk daylight protection for 114 US and Afghan special operations forces in the Nangarhar Province. After more than 50 insurgents ambushed the team, the gunship used danger-close 105mm howitzer rounds within 120 meters of friendly forces.
The AC-130U ran low of fuel, so the crew coordinated another gunship to arrive. The enemy's attack intensified as the second AC-130 arrived on station, so the two worked in tandem and began engaging with a total of four guns at the same time. The attack continued, and a third AC-130 launched. In total, the crew of the first AC-130 flew 12.3 hours in support of ground forces. Thirty-one enemy were killed, 28 structures were destroyed, and no friendly forces were killed, according to the release.
On March 29, 2017, another aircrew was flying support for 35 US and Afghan special operations forces when they came under attack in the Kot Valley of Nangarhar Province. Sixty-five insurgents attacked with "overwhelming hostile fire." The AC-130 dropped to a lower altitude and fired for about 90 minutes. Twenty-one of the 25 fire missions were danger-close, and the AC-130 pilots received MANPADS launch indications during the fight, according to the release. The airpower helped repel the ambush with no friendly casualties.
On April 8, 2017, another crew was flying support for 281 US and Afghan special operations forces again near Nangarhar. When the AC-130 arrived on scene, coalition forces were already taking fire. The aircrew needed to provide continuous fire during the ongoing attack, while being judicious about their ammunition usage. As the fight continued, the aircraft commander called to command and control to prepare another AC-130 with a bigger armament load and more fuel. The crew returned to base, immediately transferred to the other AC-130, and returned to the fight. Throughout this fight, the crew emptied two AC-130s, killing 32 enemy forces, and destroying a weapons cache.
On May 24, 2017, the last crew was flying support for 378 US and Afghan special operations forces in Nangarhar when they were attacked. The crew accurately fired on the enemy forces "within seconds" of verifying positions, despite dealing with electrical issues and gun malfunctions, eliminating the threats.
The names of 23 of the 24 airmen who received the awards is available here, one airman's name was withheld for operational security reasons, according to Air Force Special Operations Command.

Systems and methods are described for electronic auction of event tickets that permit bidders to bid on a plurality of mutually exclusive ticket options without worry about having to purchase more tickets than desired. The systems and methods also direct collected ticket revenue away from ticket resellers, and toward the event organizers and performers. In an exemplary auction, each bidder places bids for multiple seating options at different locations in the venue. A novel system then calculates which sets of seats should be won by which bidders, in order to optimize auction results according to parameters selected by the auction host. It is possible for a bidder to win tickets for a desired set of seats without being the highest bidder, if the higher bidders for that same set of seats had each won for their own bids on different sets of seats elsewhere in the venue.
The above invention package permits regular word-processing documents to be infused with forgery detection that does not require special paper, special inks, a special printer, or a third party to retain a copy for verification. The forgery protection survives faxing, photocopying, and scanning to PDF and reprinting to a new paper copy.
This set of patents enables cryptographic strength proof that a document has not been altered based on a mathematical proof rather than a human testifying about business practices. A method has been found and patented that permits recreation of a hash value from properly prepared printed content, even when the original digital file is not available. The patents cover preparation of the paper documents as well as the verification process.
The subject matter of the above includes anti-piracy protections for consumer software ? the same subject area as the recent Uniloc case that went to the US Supreme Court - as well as anti-malware protections and physical security assurance. Almost all software companies, such as Microsoft, need anti-piracy and anti-malware protections to ensure that their software is paid for, instead of being pirated on a large-scale, and is not infiltrated with spyware that can harm the consumer and the company's reputation. The inventions (more than one is disclosed) are strong security concepts that are far more resistant to hackers than the current generation of protections. The inventor had worked as a cybersecurity penetration tester (i.e. "white hat hacker") to test US military cybersecurity systems, searching for vulnerabilities, and has applied the knowledge he gained of ultra-secure hacker-resistant security measures to these inventions.
The anti-piracy invention, for example, is resistant to hacking attacks that are successful against other anti-piracy systems, because it denies critical information to even the most skilled hackers that are able to circumvent all of the security protocols to fully reverse-engineer the anti-piracy measures. The anti-malware invention precludes a threat that could permit spyware to hide within programs that the computer user needs and relies upon, and therefore could not delete from the system. The physical security invention permits security screeners to detect when a bomb-carrying terrorist or other smuggler has successfully hidden certain material within electronic devices - even when the electronic devices still function well enough to pass current security screening tests, such as a power-on test.
In 8,347,092, the verification principal is used in a system that can speed up traveler screening security at airports, without compromise of security effectiveness. An inventive system provides a computer hardware version of a ?trusted traveler? program, by enabling rapid and reliable determination by screening agents that a particular computer has not been altered to smuggle a bomb or other contraband.
The subject matter is the visual enhancement of anomalies in medical images, such as X-rays and MRI images, to highlight potential medical issues for doctors and dentists.
In operation, a doctor takes a current image (i.e., a recently-collected X-ray) and an earlier image for the same patient, and submits both of them to the inventive computer program. The program produces a color-encoded image that highlights differences that represent changed patient conditions. What is exceptional about this invention is that no complex algorithms are needed ? because the inventive program does not need to determine what constitutes a difference. The medical expert, who is viewing the resulting output image, performs all of the complex analysis.
A prototype software package is available to demonstrate the invention.
(5) it can be used within moving vehicles.
The 20080309520 published application cited above involves a simpler approach to cell phones having multi-tap keyboards (the common 12-key number pad in which ?abc? are letter options on the ?2? key). The invention provides for speeding up the typing of SMS text messages by placing a cursor button the side of the phone.
The subject matter is an inexpensive way to use Pur or Brita water filters inside a common 5 gallon picnic cooler (such as the yellow and red water coolers that can be often seen on work trucks and at picnic events). Currently, people who wish to fill a 5-gallon picnic cooler face a choice: Fill it with a garden hose, and taste rubber in the water, or purchase several 1 gallon jugs of drinking water from a grocery store, and pour those into the cooler. Because the Pur and Brita filters work so slowly, and can only handle 2 gallons of water per day, it was previously impractical for someone to fill a cooler with water that had been filtered by a Pur or Brita carbon filter cartridge.
The inventions provide a new solution: Fill the cooler with the garden hose, and during the delay between filling and drinking, the water is filtered by a Pur or Brita filter. The water will be safer to drink and taste much better.
The ?087 patent covers a more practical version, whereas the ?501 patent covers a more clever version. The practical version is a platform standing on legs inside the cooler, which holds multiple filter cartridges (so that the load on each is reduced, and the total filtration rate is faster). The more clever version uses a platform that floats upward as the water passes through the filters.
The subject matter is an inexpensive light-duty power tool accessory for both professional carpenters and do-it-yourself (DIY) project enthusiasts. It enables safe, precise miter cuts using a hand-held circular power saw at two different angles. The available prototypes were constructed for 90-degree crosscut and 45-degree miter cut angles on common 2x4 lumber. These are the most common cut angles on perhaps the most common piece of wood. The prototypes can handle smaller pieces, such as 2x3, 1x2, and most baseboards.
The subject matter is an improvement to audio speakers that are attached to desktop PC systems or desktop docking stations for notebook computers. The invention eliminates the need for speaker extension cables, in some usage scenarios, and it should cost less than 50 cents to adapt common speakers to implement the invention.
The subject matter is an inexpensive light-duty security device that renders CDs and DVDs unreadable by typical computer CD-ROM and DVD drives. This should help reduce identity theft and data loss, when CDs and DVDs that had contained sensitive information are discarded. The CDs and DVDs can still be read by special recovery equipment, but to defeat those specialized readers requires expensive noisy shredders. The inventions in this patent family strike a balance between low cost and practical security that reduces risk.
The subject matter is the prevention of overheating of compact notebook computers (a.k.a. laptop computers). The invention leverages a convenient tradeoff between airflow needs and the desirability of compactness.

Sussex Police have released more photographs of suspected stolen dogs that were seized during a raid in Surrey last month.
The dogs, a mix of Lurchers and Spaniels, continue to be cared for at a secure location.
They are hoping that their owners will recognise them so they can be reunited once again.

Officers seized 10 dogs during a search warrant at a location in Surrey on the 16th of March.
An investigation is underway by detectives at Crawley CID, who have been working closely with Sussex Police's specialist Rural Crime Team and other police forces, to help identify the dogs and their lawful owners.
Two-year-old Cocker Spaniel Willow, who was one of the dogs seized, was successfully reunited with her owners last month.
She had been stolen during a burglary in Suffolk in July last year.
Willow, one of the dogs seized during the search warrant, has now been returned to her owners. Credit: Sussex Police
Detective Chief Inspector John Wallace, of Crawley CID, said: "We are desperately seeking the lawful owners of the remaining dogs which were seized in the recent warrant.
"We appreciate this has been an agonising time for those members of the public with missing pets who have been waiting for further information".
"If you recognise one of these dogs, please email dogtheft@sussex.pnn.police.uk quoting the name of the dog you recognise.
The email address is the fastest way to contact us and we have a dedicated team managing this".
"While we continue to progress enquiries on identification, our priority continues to be around the health and welfare of the dogs and medical treatment is ongoing".

Adrian Osmond | SWEENEY TODD
Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim
Book by Hugh Wheeler
From an adaptation by Christopher Bond
Musical Heaven / LG Arts Center, Seoul
There's a hole in the world
Like a great black pit
And it's filled with people
Who are filled with shit
And the vermin of the world
Inhabit it…
Outstanding and sophisticated … the talk of the town.
- The Korea Herald
After years in exile for a crime he didn't commit, Sweeney Todd returns to London to find his wife dead and his daughter in the hands of the judge that falsely condemned him. He vows revenge on the judge; but once Todd realizes that everyone deserves to die, countless throats start to be slit…

DIRECTORS NOTES
Sweeney Todd was the first production that I directed in Seoul (I was the only non-Korean involved). The show won several awards there, including Best Production, and was the most nominated show of the season.
Given that Sweeney Todd is set in London and was first staged in New York, it was fascinating to discover that some aspects of the story could have deeper resonances in Korea than elsewhere. For instance, when Todd sings My Friends to his razors, it's like an incantation. In seductive tones, he wills the tools to become part of his own self, part of his soul. (After all, when he returns home, these razors are all that he has to hold from his previous life.) This action seems much closer to Korean shamanistic rituals and dances with knives than anything contained in Western culture.
But why do people all over the world choose to watch Sweeney Todd? A tale that revolves around brutal murders and cannibalism doesn't sound like ideal mass-market entertainment. Yet, as with any tale of revenge, it's extraordinary to experience the drive of a character that is determined to reach their goal at any cost.
Todd is a wronged man, an unstoppable force who is powered onwards by past events, by actions that can never be altered. Fifteen years earlier, he lost everything – his livelihood, his wife and his one-year-old child. Now every aspect of him has changed – his looks, his personality, and even his name. Yet, no matter what he alters, he cannot forget what he has lost, who he was before. Mrs Lovett is looking for a future with him, and tells Todd many times that he has to move on. But Todd is incapable of shaking off the sorrow; his life has no meaning without it.
Sondheim's lyrics have several references to the mechanisms of revenge: "Sweeney began the engines turning"; "like a perfect machine he planned". Initially, designer Seung Ho Jeong and I wanted to show the mechanism of the barber's chair in detail – Todd slits a throat, then pulls a lever to send the body hurtling down a chute; this causes an oven door to pop open and a tray to tip out, filled with freshly-baked meat pies that are swiftly sold. This idea then expanded until the stage represented a vast machine, including a four storey-high portal around the proscenium arch that was covered in cogs. This approach highlighted the helplessness of the general populus in this society – as an enraged Todd expresses in "Epiphany", each person has their "proper place".
Sondheim wants Sweeney Todd to embrace both humour and horror. At the end of the first act, the idea of turning people into pies provides laughter. But we end up in a dark basement where buckets of flour and butter have turned into blood. Early on in Act Two of our production, Mrs Lovett tied a bundle of shoes to a rope and then winched the package up into the air, where it was stored inside a huge container. Later in the Act, Toby accidentally unlatched the opening to this container, and hundreds of shoes cascaded to the ground. It seemed necessary to remind the audience that, for all the entertainment Todd's acts might be providing, countless people were being viciously slain.
During each of the ballads, an ensemble of workers kept screwing light bulbs into sockets. In the final minutes of the story, Toby, after killing Todd, began to turn the handle of a mighty meat grinder. Suddenly, all the wheels, cogs and gears of the set started spinning at last; the bulbs flickered into life, lighting up the audience's faces and illuminating a sea of bodies that were scattered across the stage. Then, with the final ballad, the cast completed this ritual of revenge by washing the blood from their hands.
I regard Sweeney Todd as a genuine masterpiece. But there was one detail of the plot that puzzled me. In Act Two, when Anthony is preparing to rescue Johanna from the asylum, Todd gives him a pistol. But where has this weapon come from? Why does Todd have it? Todd's true companions are his razors, after all…
The solution that we found was as follows:
In Act One, Pirelli comes to Todd's barber shop. Todd kills him – his first murder. As Todd desperately struggles to conceal the body in a trunk, a pistol falls out of Pirelli's pocket. Clearly, Pirelli had planned to draw this on Todd. The sight of the weapon unnerves Todd even more, he's unused to handling firearms, so quickly he conceals it in a drawer. And it stays hidden in that drawer until the opportunity arrives to hand it over to Anthony during Act Two.

Three bombshells from brand new Harry and Meghan Netflix documentary trailer
Netflix has dropped three explosive Royal Family bombshells in just 59 seconds teasing its upcoming 'Harry & Meghan Global Event'.
The first trailer of a highly anticipated documentary on the lives of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle has finally released by streaming giant Netflix.
Shared on Twitter soon after midday, the trailer is the first look at the £88million documentary series which has been in production with the streaming site all year.
READ MORE: Meghan seen crying in Netflix trailer that makes Kate look 'utterly evil'
A slew of personal photos are shared by the pair as the programme makers hint what lies in store for fans of the former working royals in the first look clip.
Sad-sounding cinematic piano music plays in the background to various black and white snaps of the couple out and about, following their landmark decision to pack their bags for the US.
Over the music, a woman can be heard asking: "Why did you want to make this documentary?"
Adding to the suspense of the clip, the question receives no immediate answer but joyful, loved up photos suddenly turn to reflect hardship that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have had to face.
This is where the bombshells start dropping with Meghan looking absolutely distraught at the same time Harry says "No one sees what's happening behind closed doors".
It is the first time the public has seen the former Suits actor appearing to break down. In previous conversations, not least Harry and Meghan's interview with Opera Winfrey, the couple have told how much they have struggled with the media and Royal Family over the last few years.
Never before though have cameras captured their raw emotion dealing with set backs and negativity, now though as Harry says, viewers really are getting a glimpse behind closed doors.
Meghan is seen in a black and white with her head miserably planted in one hand while holding a phone in the other, as she sits crossed-legged and leaning forward.
Dramatically another bombshell can be judged to have been thrown up by Netflix with the instant transition to Kate Middleton and Prince William.
Still without colour, viewers are led to connect the dots as an upset Meghan turns to a stern-looking Kate from the Commonwealth Day service at Westminster Abbey in 2019. Meghan appears sitting behind her.
It seems to be a reference to the alleged row between the sisters-in-law ahead of Meghan and Harry's wedding in 2018.
They were said to have fallen out at a dress fitting for the flower girls, with reports at the time claiming Kate was left in tears. Meghan then told Oprah in her tell-all interview that it was she who was left in tears.
The next shot is another black and white image of Meghan holding a thoughtful pose.
Harry comes in again, this time filmed on an armchair telling viewers: "I had to do everything I could to protect my family".
Next in shot is him appearing to say goodbye to Meghan whose wound the window down in the back seat of a car.
As a young child Harry could do little in the way of protecting his mum Princess Diana from press intrusion and her tragic car crash death. Viewers are reminded of his early years with stills, of him as a boy growing up, including at his mother's funeral which appears to have haunted him since.
After a young Harry turns into photos of Meghan through the ages, the trailer shows the couple looking overwhelmed and vulnerable together.
Meghan holds both hands to her face, wiping away tears as she closes her eyes on a sofa beside Harry who looks to be in a state of distress, leaning back with his head aggressively rocked up.
It is then when the Duchess poses a cryptic question.
"When the stakes are this high," Meghan says off camera. "Doesn't it make more sense to hear our story from us?"
She is suggesting that throughout the series a highly important issue is confronted and explained by them after various opinions and versions events spoken on by royal writers and commentators.
Interestingly, not once in the trailer are the couple's children Archie and Lilibet featured which implies along with the series' age 15 rating, that it far from makes family friendly viewing.

Netflix warns the six-part documentary contains "language and discrimination".
The streaming service also describes the film as a "global event" and says it is "coming soon".
A Netflix spokesman said: "Across six episodes, the series explores the clandestine days of their early courtship and the challenges that led to them feeling forced to step back from their full-time roles in the institution."

But if Dr Worsley opened her mind about motherhood she might learn far more than ever she did in the dreaming spires. By 15, I knew more about Caesareans, post-miscarriage treatments and intimate stitching than fans of Call The Midwife. I felt sheer disbelief that an intelligent woman would put herself through that — send a bunch of mothers into the classroom to boast about battle scars and teen pregnancies will plummet.
In my 20s, my resistance to motherhood hardened as friends with children failed to rejoice at their offspring. Dinner parties became hell as friends — who used to laugh raucously or argue passionately — banged on about schools and Center Parcs. When pals told me that they were pregnant, I realised that within a year we would have nothing in common.

Tonight, despite fabulous weather, I find myself resenting three things in life. The first is that I really don't have time to write this; I need to shower and shave and get back to a busy work day tomorrow.

As you would expect, this transition occurred after her looks which never approached those of co-star Alyssa Milano had well and truly begun to fade. McGowan is not alone in making this spectacular shift. For instance, she attacked gays for not being feminist enough and, probably projecting her jealousy over not landing a significant acting role for an eternity, claimed an X-Men movie poster promoted violence against women.
So now comes the task of reconciling the new Rose McGowan with the old one, whose self-objectification is best described by this infamous photo with ex-boyfriend Marilyn Manson: Excuses, excuses… Rose McGowan has tried to gloss over her past history of self-objectification and sexualization by saying she was merely a pawn of the patriarchy. Sadly, this very public attention-seeking, in which McGowan wrote Doherty an open letter, comes at the same time that the latter is suffering from cancer.
Rose McGowan has a lot in common with Pamela Anderson. Ex-Playboy cover model Anderson, after an entire career made from taking her clothes off and otherwise selling her body as if she were competing for a championship, has now come out against pornography. She may not be bad for a gal nearing 50, but her best years are a good years behind her. I would wager that Pamela Anderson hit 45 and spent the last several years in denial, before she decided to lambaste an industry currently lauding nubile girls in their twenties and not her.

Today the United States has extensive regulations on international marriage brokers.
Also, there are a lot more tools to check for scammers like Google Image search. Often these academic theories get repeated constantly in the mainstream media, because of laziness or the success of the feminist narrative. But the truth today is far more positive. Third, romance is always hard. It does not matter where you meet a woman or how you court.

Indeed, even the word 'left' speaks of an Alpha and Omega, deriving as it does from the Anglo-Saxon 'lyft', meaning 'weak'. But being left-handed isn't all bad news. New research has indicated that being left-handed could be a significant bonus — for sports players at least. For example, one in five top-flight cricket bowlers are left-handed, while a third of baseball pitchers use their left arm.
If you yourself are left-handed, but don't fancy turning your hand to either of those sports, then fear not: They're all lefties of course. The preponderance of lefties in fields that are traditionally associated with intellect, such as mathematics and politics, has led to conjecture that left-handed people are simply smarter. Theories abound as to why: Whatever the reasoning, lefties do seem to rise to the top.
Look at the list of Nobel Prize winners and you're faced with a disproportionate amount of left-handers, while Mensa says that 20 per cent of its members are similarly orientated that's double the amount you'd expect.

Q: Make Visual Studio understand CamelCase when hitting Ctrl and cursor keys Is there a way that I can configure Visual Studio 2008 to understand CamelCase?  Specifically, I'd like to be able to get Ctrl + right or left cursor to take me to a subsection of a variable or type name.
i.e., if my cursor was at the start of this line:
LongNamedExampleClass longNamed = new LongNamedExampleClass();

and I hit Ctrl + right, I'd like to jump to "Named" in the class name, rather than the start of the variable name.  If I hit it again, I'd like to go to "Example".  I hope that makes sense.
I used this navigational feature in Eclipse quite a lot, and find it difficult to unlearn something so ingrained.

A: It's not native to Visual Studio, but you can get it for free using CodeRush Express. (ReSharper and CodeRush require payment).

A: For those using Visual Studio 2022.
Ctrl +Alt + right or left will jump to sub words(camel case navigation).

A: If you have ReSharper installed you can also configure Visual Studio keyboard shortcuts "Alt-Right" and "Alt-Left" for CamelHump, without losing standard Visual Studio behaviour for "ctrl-right" and "ctrl-left".

*

*Open the Visual Studio Options window from Tools –> Options

*Expand Environment and scroll down to Keyboard

*In Show commands containing box, type "hump". This will show all commands related to CamelHumps.

*Map the commands to the key mappings you wish by selecting the command from the list and entering the key mapping in the Press shortcut keys textbox, then click Assign.

Caveats:

*

*Assign the mappings for Text Editor, not Global.

*Make sure the Use CamelHumps option from Resharper -> Options -> Editor -> Editor Behaviour is turned off.

Details here: http://davidrcook.wordpress.com/2009/11/05/working-with-camel-case-in-visual-studio/

A: Visual Studio does not support this behavior.  However, DevExpres's CodeRush! product supports navigation like this (using Alt-Left & Alt-Right), along with tons of other features to aid in navigation.  The CodeRush! product is also bundled with their Refactor tool.  They also offer a free CodeRush! & Refactor Express product, though I'm not certain if the Camel Casing navigation is part of the express product.

A: Add the macro below to the visual studio.
http://visualstudiomacros.blogspot.com/2008/03/getting-ctrl-right-arrow-to-respect.html

A: Thanks to those who suggested Resharper. This gives me another reason to love it even more. Just to be specific about where this lives - JetBrains call it CamelHumps (cute) and you can switch it on using the menu:

Resharper -> Options -> Environment -> Editor -> Editor Behavior -> Use CamelHumps

... in older versions of Resharper, it is;

Resharper -> Options -> Editor -> Use CamelHumps

A: Visual Studio 2022 and above should have this built in with the shortcut keys [Ctrl + Alt + Arrows] for traversal and [Ctrl + Alt + Shift + Arrows] for selection, but not [Ctrl + Alt + Delete/Backspace] for removal.

Archived Answer below for earlier versions of Visual Studio or people who want Delete/Backspace subword options...

Anyone stumbling across this page after Nov 25, 2008 (who don't want to pay for ReSharper or CodeRush which no longer has a free version), the following free Extension adds this functionality: Subword Navigation by Olle Westman
(Alternatively, the VSTricks extension includes Sub-word Navigation in its list of nifty features. There is also a different Subword navigation extension created by Lauri Vasama not to be confused with Olle Westman's which this answer uses.)
The Subword Navigation project page states:

Look up Edit.Subword in keyboard bindings to set things up.

Here's how I set it up in Visual Studio 2019:

*

*Navigate to Tools > Options > Environment > Keyboard

*Under Use new shortcut in, select Text Editor

*Under Show commands containing, type Edit.Subword. This should pop up an autocomplete field with the listed commands below.

*Select one of the following commands you want to set its shortcut keys for. Once selected, follow the rest of the numbered steps. Then come back to Step 4 to set another one.

*

*Edit.SubwordNext

*

*Traverses camelcases to the right [Alt + Right Arrow]

*Edit.SubwordPrevious

*

*Traverses camelcases to the left [Alt + Left Arrow]

*Edit.SubwordNextExtend

*

*Selects camelcases to the right [Alt + Shift + Right Arrow]

*Edit.SubwordPreviousExtend

*

*Selects camelcases to the left [Alt + Shift + Left Arrow]

*Edit.SubwordDeleteNext

*

*Deletes camelcases to the right [Alt + Delete]

*Edit.SubwordDeletePrevious

*

*Deletes camelcases to the left [Alt + Backspace]

Note: When assigning these Subword Navigation commands to these new shortcut keys, preserve any already-existing shortcut-key functionality you want to keep beforehand by setting them to different keys. It should not conflict with any default-installed shortcut keys.

*Under Press shortcut keys, press Your Shortcut Keys

*Click Assign and overwrite the existing shortcut

A: This extension was created to do that, just like in Eclipse:
https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=maptz.camelcasenavigation

A: For anyone that is looking for this in version ~1.63
The keybinding option is now called "cursorWordPart" and can easyly be set in keyboard shortcuts :)

A: I don't think Visual Studio supports this feature internally, as it seems to be using the normal way Ctrl+Right and Ctrl+Left work in Windows environment. But it's probably possible with some kind of extension or plugin.

Millions of men can at last sleep well, finally knowing that you will not sneak in during the night and steal their wives away.
Not that we would have gone…..
What? Don't look at me like that.
Previous post: Guess what I have?


So, you have an idea? Whether that means fixing one room or renovating your entire home, you've decided to work with a professional. We want to help you understand what you're taking on, so here is the process you can expect to ensure a long lasting, positive relationship. Before we meet, start dreaming. Find photos of rooms, colors, fabrics, and materials that you love and start an inspiration file to share with us.
Think of our first meeting like you would a first date, except we're going to get to know all about your house (and each other). We'll measure rooms and ask questions like, "How do you use this space?" During this visit, we'll determine how big your project is, also known as scope of work and we'll look at the photos you've been collecting to determine your style and vision. We will discuss scope, budget, timeline, and style. If needed, we will meet with your architect, and any other consultants involved, before beginning the next phase – Design Development.
It's now up to us to interpret your vision as part of the design development. When we present it you'll know we, "get you". But this is also when any changes can be discussed and considered. We may need to go back to the drawing board to finesse your vision by incorporating changes.
With the scope of work determined, and the design development clarified, we then generate technical drawings. These drawings clarify your vision precisely and will be essential throughout the process to the contractor, trades and you.
We're getting more familiar with your house and it's time to get down to the nuts and bolts. This phase is filled with excitement, surprises, and a few "omgs".
Designers love the Construction Phase! We get to see our ideas come to life and your happiness. We stop by the job site weekly to ensure work is progressing as planned and installations are successful. We meet with you to address any of your concerns.
Following construction, we coordinate the delivery and installation of your new furnishings, accessories and artwork.
Before we conclude our time together, we do a final walk-through with you and prepare a list of any remaining small items needing attention. We also discuss the care and maintenance of all your new finishes, furnishings and equipment so you can enjoy them for many years and maintain their new appearance. Then we might hug or have a glass of wine on that new sofa of yours!
*Please note not all of these activities will pertain to your job as defined by its scope of work.

Review: Falling Into Place by Amy Zhang
by Stephanie on April 20, 2015
Falling Into Place by Amy Zhang
Published : September 9, 2014
Summary: "On the day Liz Emerson tries to die, they had reviewed Newton's laws of motion in physics class. Then, after school, she put them into practice by running her Mercedes off the road.
Why? Why did Liz Emerson decide that the world would be better off without her? Why did she give up? Vividly told by an unexpected and surprising narrator, this heartbreaking and nonlinear novel pieces together the short and devastating life of Meridian High's most popular junior girl. Mass, acceleration, momentum, force—Liz didn't understand it in physics, and even as her Mercedes hurtles toward the tree, she doesn't understand it now. How do we impact one another? How do our actions reverberate? What does it mean to be a friend? To love someone? To be a daughter? Or a mother? Is life truly more than cause and effect? Amy Zhang's haunting and universal story will appeal to fans of Lauren Oliver, Gayle Forman, and Jay Asher"
Fist off I'd like to say that I personally, haven't read If I Stay by Gayle Forman yet, but I've heard that if you like that book, that this is something very similar to I recommend it to those people.
I'd also like to start this review with a disclaimer that I'm not the biggest contemporary fan. I picked this book up on a whim from my daily BookBub e-mails that send me e-book deals. So I think I got this book for like 99 cents or something and I didn't really expect to like it. But holy crap it kind of hooked me from start to finish. I've been having a crazy few weeks with moving my boyfriend into his new home, job searching, interviews and just helping out my mom whose recently come home from a five month stay at the hospital. I've been in a reading slump/had no time to read.
So last night I thought, well, I'm not in the mood to keep reading The Goblet of Fire, and I'm not really in the mood for Egg & Spoon. So I dove into this hoping for the best.
And Amy Zhang just wrote this is such an interesting way that I couldn't put it down. This book is written in a non-linar way (so it doesn't go chronologically it jumps from past and present). And it's about this girl Liz who decides to end her life by crashing her car. And her classmate finds her and the book just goes back and forth between Liz's wrong-doings and her life and relationship between her mother, her friends, her enemies, her classmates, her teachers, and so on and so forth. The book though is written in a narration that isn't Liz. At first I thought it was her dead father but when they started referencing the dad, I knew it wasn't him. But the narrator ends up being Liz's imaginary friend from when she was a child.
I really enjoyed this book because it just kind of made you question how your actions really effect other people. And why do you do the things you do/done. It kind of pushes the limits and had you sit back for a second and just kind of question yourself and what you've done and if you have done anything negative, why and how did it effect certain people. I think Zhang wrote this book with a better purpose than just a story and entertainment, and I have to tip my hat to her.
I admit I did shed a few tears towards the end but, overall this book has my good graces and many rounds of applause. The narration was great, the writing was wonderful, light and easy to just breeze through. Almost as though each and every single word was chosen so carefully. Each character was broken down slowly and almost to a point where they were just completely stripped and you knew the ins and outs of everyone and each person was just so different and had their own little world of issues and strengths and weaknesses.
All in all this book was just, pure genius. Complex yet simple, and beautifully thought provoking and heart-wrenching.

I'm not a contemporary fan either, honestly, but this sounds kind of brilliant.
It actually is. Like I never thought I would just pick this up and read it in about 3 hours. There was just something about how it's written and everything that went along with it that just kept me reading. If you ever feel like a contemporary, you should totally try it out.
I really enjoy it when a book is completely engrossing like that. There's a sort of magic to it that completely sucks you out of this world and into its own.
So true! I was actually getting annoyed when I would get pulled away from it even if it was for just a few minutes.


It does certainly seem as though live TV is a big deal right now for businesses. Which in some respects seems counter-intuitive to the general notion that consumers are edging more towards cord cutting services. However, that only seems counter-intuitive at the superficial level as while consumers are moving towards alternative ways to consume TV content, they are still consuming TV content. Recently, we have seen a big move from AT&T to get in on the TV action and they are not the only ones.
Over the last few months it has become clear that Hulu sees live TV and an alternative to cable as a means to expand its business. In fact, back in July of this year reports came through detailing that Hulu was in the process of signing up the likes of ABC, ESPN & CBS to its TV service. Now, it seems more details are coming through on this as it has been announced today that Hulu has reached an agreement with Twenty-first Century Fox and Walt Disney Co to include their programming.
The inclusion of Disney does mean that Hulu will be able to include the likes of ABC and ESPN, who are owned by Disney. Likewise, the agreement with Fox means that content from news, entertainment and sports will all also be included in the upcoming TV service, which is largely expected to launch in the early part of next year. In fact, as part of the announcement today from Hulu on the agreement, Hulu is confirming that upwards of 35 networks will now be included due to the deal with Fox and Disney. While some of these will be derivatives of the same network (for instance, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, ESPN-SEC and ESPN3, as well as Fox Sports 1, Fox Sports 2), also included will be FOX, ABC, BTN, Disney Channel, Fox News, Fox Business; Freeform; FX, National Geographic and Nat Geo Wild.
So in all it does seem as though this particular deal with Fox and Disney does bring with it a number of viewing options for potentials users of the upcoming service. However, with details still light on the actual service and what the likely cost will be, it remains to be seen how competitive the service will be. Especially given that other companies like AT&T will be pushing hard with their alternative live TV services. In the case of AT&T, up to 100 channels for only $35 per month.

The attack on free speech is so wrong in so many ways
Apr24 by Thomas Mitchell
There is so much hare-brained and just plain false about what Nancy Pelosi said this past week in support of a movement to overturn the Supreme Court ruling in Citizens United — the case that restored the rights of groups of individuals to form coalitions and exercise free speech through corporations and unions.
"Our Founders had an idea," an Investor's Business Daily editorial today quotes Pelosi as saying. "It was called democracy. It said elections are determined by the people, the voice and the vote of the people, not by the bankrolls of the privileged few. This Supreme Court decision flies in the face of our Founders' vision, and we want to reverse it."
Someone should remind Ms. Pelosi that the Founders' vision also did not include elections determined by the bankrolls of political parties. Most thought political parties anathema to a republic, which would put the will of the people ahead of political factions and special interests.
Thomas Jefferson said in 1789, before becoming the titular head of the Republican Party, which led to his election to the presidency in 1800, "I never submitted the whole system of my opinions to the creed of any party of men whatever, in religion, in philosophy, in politics, or in anything else, where I was capable of thinking for myself. Such an addiction is the last degradation of a free and moral agent. If I could not go to heaven but with a party, I would not go there at all."
I assume Pelosi holds no such animosity toward the privileged few bankrolling her political party.
IBD pointedly notes that Pelosi was one of those who stood and applauded when the president scolded a captive audience of Supreme Court justices on national television during a State of the Union address for "having reversed a century of law." Justice Samuel Alito mouthed, "Not true," perhaps referring to two centuries of First Amendment principles regarding abridgement of speech.
It is downright ironic that America's first black president appealed for support and enforcement of a century-old law.
Justice Samuel Alito, at left, mouths, "Not so," in response to Obama critique.
Someone should remind Obama that the century-old law was sponsored by Democratic Sen. "Pitchfork Ben" Tillman of South Carolina — the leader of a lynch mob known as the "Red Shirts," the man who declared, "The Negro must remain subordinated or be exterminated" in order to "keep the white race at the top of the heap."
Tillman pressed the ban on corporate free speech because he feared the rise of blacks employed by Northern companies. It was a way to squelch speech he feared and was intended to keep power from the "Negroes."
Justice Clarence Thomas — whom Harry Reid called an "embarrassment" and said his opinions were "poorly written" — pointed this out in remarks delivered during a speech at Stetson University College of Law in Gulfport, Fla., shortly after Obama's State of the Union speech, which Thomas refused to attend — on principle, not politics.
A student asked Justice Thomas about Obama's public chiding of the court by saying: "With all due deference to the separation of powers, last week, the Supreme Court reversed a century of law to open the floodgates for special interests — including foreign corporations — to spend without limit in our elections. Well, I don't think American elections should be bankrolled by America's most powerful interests." The foreign corporations part was utterly false.
Thomas replied:
"First of all, remember most of the regulation of corporations started with the Tillman Act. Go back and read why Tillman introduced that legislation to regulate corporations. … Tillman was from South Carolina, and, as I hear the story, he was concerned that the corporations, Republican corporations, were favorable toward blacks.
"And he felt that there was a need to regulate them. So we don't raise this to the plane of some sort of beatific action.
"But that aside, I've taken the position that the court adopted with respect to how we associate. If 10 of you got together and decided to speak just as a group, you say you have a First Amendment right to speak and a First Amendment right of association …
"I find it fascinating that the people who were editorializing against it were The New York Times Company and The Washington Post Company, who were exempted by statute. So then it becomes a statutory right, not a constitutional right."
At a whim, Congress can revoke a statutory right. Are the Times and Post willing to depend on the whim of a fickle Congress for their free press rights instead of the Constitution?
Pelosi, Obama, the Times and the Post would like to pick and choose which groups of people get to coalesce and spend their money to advance their ideas and principles. It doesn't work that way. Free speech belongs to all and to all groups — political parties, corporations, unions, clubs, factions, sects, bridge clubs, newspapers and quilting bees.
It is the first recourse of scoundrels who fear their loss of power to attempt to gag others.
Someone should remind Harry Reid, too.

!?!!
Hypocrite.
nyp10025 says:
Is there any actual evidence that the Tillman Act – which was enacted at the urging of Theodore Roosevelt – was passed by Congress for the purpose of repressing African-Americans?
Thomas Mitchell says:
Perhaps you've heard of the Davis-Bacon Act. That had nothing to do with repressing African-Americans either. Right?
I have indeed heard of the Davis-Bacon Act. However, my question pertained to the Tillman Act. Is there any actual evidence that Congress passed and Theodore Roosevelt signed into law the Tillman Act for the purpose of repressing African-Americans?
That was Tillman's motive and the motive of the Democrats who passed Davis-Bacon. That was their motive for many acts from the Civil War up to and through the civil rights movement.
First, it is disgraceful of you to post a doctored photograph of Senator Robert Byrd in a fake KKK uniform.
Second, my understanding is that both Senator Davis and Representative Bacon were Republicans. So was the Congress that passed their legislation. So was President Hoover, who signed the legislation into law. So I don't understand your reference to the "Democrats who passed Davis-Bacon."
Third, can you provide any evidence at all that repression of African-Americans was the motivation of Senator Tillman in proposing the Tillman Act and of the legislators (Republican or Democratic) who voted for it? Surely there must be a quote or a citation to the historical record? Is there any evidence at all?
The Tillman Act was sponsored by South Carolina Senator Ben "Pitchfork" Tillman, probably the most vicious racist to ever serve in Congress. Tillman was a Democratic segregationist who was chiefly responsible for the imposition of Jim Crow in South Carolina after the end of Reconstruction when he was governor. This federal law, that so-called "progressives" like the President are constantly praising, was intended by Tillman to hurt the Republican Party – the party of abolition and Abraham Lincoln – because many corporations contributed to the Republican Party, not the Democratic Party. These corporations did not like segregation in the South – it cost them money and made it more expensive to sell their goods and services.

Ah, the echo chamber at work. One conservative blog quotes another conservative blog to support a challenged factual assertion. But still, no evidence. No quote. No historical citation. No evidence at all.
I am sure that the next time someone repeats what to me appears to be this obviously false historical assertion they will cite Mr. Mitchell's blog in support.
Perhaps someone can help Mr. Mitchell. Can anyone out there provide actual evidence that the Tillman Act – which was enacted at the urging of Theodore Roosevelt – was passed by Congress for the purpose of repressing African-Americans? Or is this all simply a conservative urban legend that goes around and around and around and around and ….
http://uncpress.unc.edu/browse/page/435
I'm please to see Mr. Mitchell relying on a distinguished University of Wisconsin historian, particularly one who believes that "despite Tillman's reputation as an insurgent, he was fundamentally a conservative." But nothing in the website to which Mr. Mitchell refers supports his assertion that the Tillman Act – which was enacted at the urging of Theodore Roosevelt – was passed by Congress for the purpose of repressing African-Americans.
The fact that the sponsor of the Tillman Act happened to be a racist (like many members of Congress at the time) doesn't support Mr. Mitchell's assertion.
Nyp, that is simply one of those unprovable coincidental things that leave a bad taste behind. Of course there is no recorded proof. If it were the intent of Tillman to block northern companies influencing southern elections in favor of one group over another, this legislation would appear to have come along at a very opportune moment in history. It leaves a bad taste behind when people read more about it, perception is only human and unprovable. But perception remains 9/10th reality until totally disproved. Even once totally disproved shreds will remain, see the Flat Earth Society.
Hell its happening today with welfare. Keep generations on welfare and blame Republicans for trying to end it. This way Democrats grow their base. Again perception and unprovable but 9/10th reality just the same. That bad taste comes alive at the ballot box.
Nancy Pelosi on the other hand remains a complete embarrassment, from one fork in her tongue the founders are good, from the other fork she ridicules their main document. Nancy Pelosi speaks with forked tongue, this is recorded in audio and video requiring no perception at all. That bad taste is easily recognized and its source well known.
I think the somewhat shorter version of "Steve's" post is "no, there isn't any historical evidence at all to substantiate Mr. Mitchell's assertion."
On that we can all agree.
An even shorter conclusion is Nancy supports the bad taste. Silence gives consent.
No, there is evidence. Proof positive? We'd have to dig up everyone in Congress and reanimate them.
Enough evidense to support the perception of the intent to prevent northern companies influencing southern elections, absolutely. To hurt African Americans specifically? No.
This is preposterous. If there was a shred of evidence to support your assertion, Mr. Mitchell, you would be able to provide a quote from Mr. Tillman explaining his reasons for sponsoring the legislation. Or from the hundreds of congressmen and Senators who voted for it. Or from Theodore Roosevelt, who urged its passage and proudly signed it into law. Roosevelt was a Republican representative of northern mercantile interests. Why was he pushing for a law allegedly designed to block the political power of northern companies?
This makes absolutely no sense.
No sir! that would definitely not be possible with the allegation being made here. Those personal reasons would never have been made public. Your question is unanswerable. As are the allegations unprovable. The only evidence that could be considered after the fact is the true effect of the legislation. That is a matter of recorded history. I am looking for it how about you do so too sir! If this is that important to you…
Right – because legislators sponsoring important laws never make statements describing the reasons for the actions they are taking.
So, the only problem with Tom's article today is the allegation Tillman pushed that act as a way to hold African Americans down.
Good, the rest of the points are correct and proper then.
Tillman remains a southern racist who really disliked the African race. I can really see him doing things behind closed doors to further his not so private cause.
Vernon Clayson says:
nyp10025, what the members of the Congress say on the floor and in conference are seldom quoted verbatim in the Congressional Record, the think-tongued rascals get to edit their words before entry in the record. Actual words are lost to history, an example is the Democrat genius that was concerned adding Marines to Guam might tip the island over, his wordsmiths changed that to his concern being the balance of nature on the island. How do we know the record of statements and opinions of long departed legislators is what they actually said, I'm not saying they were as dumb as the Democrat fearful of Guam tipping over, of course. I imagine you were being facetious when you wrote "legislators sponsoring important laws never make statements describing the reasons for the actions they are taking", but If you weren't being facetious, you should know laws don't come off the top of their head directly to bills, they are discussed and considered by their aides, lawyers, financial backers and other legislators, is the phrase "backroom deals" unfamiliar to you? Notice I didn't mention constituents and citizens in their considerations, we matter very little.
Athos says:
Nice article, Tom. And an informative back and forth with our little progressive/socialist/communist/Alinskyite, whiz kid, wall street Newyorker.
My question is, why petey? You take the same tack with Zerø's birth certificate? Or Ø's motives?
On further consideration, we may have to give our erstwhile President a new nickname. Seems he's already passed Jorge for the biggest debt-adding President, only needing 3 years,2+months to rack up $4.939 Trillion!
I agree with "athos": if you are the sort of person who believes President Obama forged his birth certificate, Mr. Mitchell's assertions would make perfect sense to you.
"Mr. Mitchell's assertions would make perfect sense to you."
Nyp, you only have a problem with one of those assertions! On the rest of the points, your silence as an admission against interest.
Not when the motive is ulterior.
Nyp sticks to one, and only one, point, the only point that does leave room for argument. To me this means he is in full agreement with the rest of the article.
As a matter of fact I disagree with almost everything else in Mr. Mitchell's post.
Thanks for clearing that up nyp. You simply cannot dream up a legit argument against any of the other points in the article. You just go for the only hole you could find.
Yes, It is quite a big hole,and I am, of course, entitled to comment on whatever aspects of Mr. Mitchell's commentary I choose.
What bothers me even more than the now-obvious inaccuracy of his assertion about the roots of federal restrictions on corporate political contributions is Mr. Mitchell's lack of interest in the matter. Surely he still retains enough of his journalist's chops to wish to ensure that his factual statements are 100% accurate. Journalists issue corrections of their factual errors every day of the week. Perhaps Mr. Mitchell now feels too distanced from the business to feel the need to do so her. Kind of sad.
I stand by the contention that Tillman had ulterior motives.
This IS an opinion blog, is it not?
Be happy Tom invites all opinions.
Steve believes that Mr. Mitchell is entitled not only to his own opinions, but also to his own facts.
I happen to disagree.
I thought you liberals liked to connect the dots, Petey.
Funny way of saying this is an opinion blog nyp
I never made that statement, but you just tried to make it for me.
I would thank you to stop making statements in my name sir! The spin is beneath you.
Mr. Mitchell, repeating memes from the conservative echo chamber, claimed that the original restrictions on corporate financing of political campaigns – restrictions championed by northern Republicans such as Theodore Roosevelt – were nothing more than "a way to squelch speech … and was intended to keep power from the "Negroes."
The evidence in support of this assertion? Nothing, other than the fact that the Senate manager of the legislation was, like most legislators at the time, a racist.
Those of us in the reality-based community believe that there is a distinction between factual assertions and opinions, that the latter are especially subject to challenge, and that someone who makes a factual assertion that cannot withstand challenge should do the honorable thing and withdraw the assertion. That applies with particular force to journalists, and even to ex-journalists.
Anything I could offer as "proof" would be dismissed as being from the conservative echo chamber, so why chase my tail.
No it wouldn't. Facts are facts. Provide some proof that the Teddy Roosevelt-driven original restrictions on corporate financing of political campaigns were "intended to keep power from the "Negroes,"" and we will consider it.
But this post-modern approach to factual accuracy is very disturbing.

"Burke said there were Three Estates in Parliament; but, in the Reporters' Gallery yonder, there sat a Fourth Estate more important far than they all. It is not a figure of speech, or a witty saying; it is a literal fact ... Whoever can speak, speaking now to the whole nation, becomes a power, a branch of government, with inalienable weight in law-making, in all acts of authority. It matters not what rank he has, what revenues or garnitures. the requisite thing is, that he have a tongue which others will listen to ... Democracy virtually extant will insist on becoming palpably extant."
— Thomas Carlyle, 1840
