Hope, love and rage: War through the eyes of Kyiv's LGBTQIA+ community
Alex King
Ukraine is currently waging a battle for its survival. But for queer Ukrainians, the level of existential threat is even more palpable.
Ukraine is currently fighting for survival. But for queer Ukrainians, who have been battling for freedom long before Putin's tanks rolled in, the level of existential threat is even more palpable. And still there is hope, finds Alex King.
The streets of Kyiv are all but deserted these days. Every few hours, the silence is broken by the sound of air raid sirens—and sometimes the overhead rumble of fighter jets or the crash of missiles exploding in the distance.
The few people to be seen are usually members of the Ukrainian Territorial Defense Forces, carrying Kalashnikovs and sporting blue armbands. These volunteer fighters patrol neighborhoods, man roadblocks and remain on the constant lookout for Russian saboteurs.
Back in early February, Kyiv couldn't have felt more different. Before the Russian invasion began on February 24, 2022, Kyiv was emerging as one of the most vibrant and culturally dynamic cities in Europe. Ever since the Euromaidan uprising (which is also known as the Revolution of Dignity in Ukraine) succeeded in ousting the Russian-backed president Viktor Yanukovych in February 2014, young Ukrainians have been fighting for a brighter, more progressive future—and they have been winning.

Podil, one of the oldest neighborhoods of Kyiv, became a kaleidoscope of the new joys of post-Euromaidan Ukraine. Located on the west bank of the Dneiper River, the district blossomed with a mixture of smart coffee shops, lively bars, chic boutiques and independent galleries packed into the old brick buildings. A smattering of clubs, bars and creative spaces reclaimed what was once Soviet-era warehouses. And with it, a new community found a home.

At K41, Kyiv's queer-friendly scene thrived. K41 is a former beer factory, club and creative hub, rumored to have been designed and founded by those responsible for (the infamous Berlin club) Berghain. It's a safe space—a gender-free with zero tolerance for discrimination or hate— where cameras aren't allowed and all are welcome, regardless of sexuality. Podil has been at the center of pushback against police brutality and corruption, as well as the emergence of a vibrant queer community, where little had existed before.

In the first days of 2022, nearly a decade after Euromaidan, post-revolutionary energy was still burning brightly on the streets of Kyiv. Foreign visitors and residents alike could feel the changes in the air.
Since the pandemic subdued scenes in established meccas like Berlin and Barcelona, Kyiv has attracted young people from across Europe, lured by the promise of freedom and self-expression in Kyiv's interlocking techno, art and activist scenes. Even the New York Times caught wind of the bubbling energy, gushing over Kyiv as 'the Pandemic's Party Capital.'
Now, Russia's invasion leaves all of the progress and this community's achievements hanging in the balance.
"There was the feeling that every pair of hands able to hold a gun was needed. I am surrounded by entrepreneurs, taxi drivers, high school teachers, food couriers—people who usually have nothing to do with guns."
- Andrii, Ukrainian citizen
On February 23, restaurants and bars in Podil were packed with bright young things making the most of their night—blissfully unaware things would soon never be the same again.
"When Russia attacked at 5 am on February 24th, I got a wake-up call from the oldest friend of mine," remembers Andrii, a psychotherapist who specializes in anxiety and mood disorders. "My friend said the words we had all been expecting since autumn: 'It has begun.'" Andrii grabbed a pack of cigarettes and began smoking, going over the plan he had made back in January for when this moment came: visit parents, visit friends, visit a military recruitment center. "You could say it was an 'expected surprise,'" he says. "But still, dreadful as hell."

Andrii was just one of the millions of Ukrainians—most with little to no prior military training—who presented themselves for duty with the Territorial Defence Forces (TDF) in the first days of the invasion, being handed uniforms and weapons with little training. "There was the feeling that every pair of hands able to hold a gun was needed," Andrii says. "I am surrounded by entrepreneurs, taxi drivers, high school teachers, food couriers—people who usually have nothing to do with guns."
It took just a matter of days before the TDF got organized and formed into a formidable obstacle to any possible assault on Kyiv. Andrii went from working with patients and planning outings to concerts and galleries to an entirely new normal.
Right now, each day looks something like this: eat, sleep, build fortifications and guard a checkpoint. "We man the checkpoint 24/7 and are on the lookout for spies and saboteurs," Andrii says. "We will give them hell if the Russians dare advance: everyone military and civilian is so heavily motivated, conscious and angry."
Andrii looks just like the other armed volunteers in his unit—until you spot the rainbow sticker on the stock of his Kalashnikov that reads: 'Make Kyiv Queer Again'. Andrii identifies as polyamorous and pansexual. In his day job as a therapist, he welcomes poly and LGBTQIA+ clients. His partner, Cay, is a non-binary artist and activist who runs Rebel Queers, a subversive group that paints slogans such as 'Gay sex and class war' on walls around the city. Both Andrii and Cay belong to the same Ukrainian queer community that has created a new character in neighborhoods like Podil—and are now on the front lines in Kyiv and around the country, fighting to defend their home, and way of life.
Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine began on February 24, 2022, destruction and war have been a daily reality for the city of Kyiv and Ukrainians. Top: Katie Godowski; Middle: алесь усцінаў; Bottom: алесь усцінаў
On a television appearance in February, Vladimir Putin declared his 'special military operation' was due to the need to 'de-Nazify' Ukraine. Much has been written about Ukraine's neo-Nazi Azov Battalion, which is currently engaged in fierce fighting around besieged Mariupol. But Ukraine's conventional and volunteer military forces also include Ukrainians of all identities, religions and races, including openly gay, lesbian, bisexual and trans soldiers—something which would be impossible in the Russian military.
Nationalism, Orthodox Christianity and homophobia have proved a potent mix for Putin to energize his base in Russia. Passed in 2013, the Russian federal law 'for the Purpose of Protecting Children from Information Advocating for a Denial of Traditional Family Values,' is often referred to as the 'gay propaganda law' and effectively bans any public discussion of LGBTQIA+ issues. As Putin's military has floundered, he has drawn troops from Chechen warlord Ramzan Kadyrov, who turned Chechnya into a Stalinist Islamic state and targeted gay people with forced disappearances, secret abductions, imprisonment, torture and extrajudicial killings.
Ukraine is currently waging a battle for its survival. But for queer Ukrainians, the level of existential threat is even more palpable. If Putin succeeds in establishing the puppet state he reportedly dreams of, queer Ukrainians could very well face the same level of repression as in Russia or even Chechnya.
"I love Kyiv and I miss it so much. After our victory, I'm sure the queer community in Ukraine will flourish. We are fighting for freedom."
- Cay
"We are fighting pure evil," Andrii says. "This totalitarian fascist monster brings not only destruction and terror, but tremendous amounts of racism, sexism and homophobia—everything the queer community has been fighting against for decades. In my unit, I haven't openly manifested my identity, yet, but I'm vibing with homoerotic cuteness to my comrades, and they are fine with that. I'm wearing rainbow stickers on my rifle and no one has questioned it."
And although Ukraine was experiencing somewhat of a queer Renaissance before Russia's invasion in February, things weren't perfect. The queer community was actively fighting for legal rights and acceptance. Homophobia remains a real and pressing concern in Ukraine—as it does practically everywhere. Ukraine has yet to legalize same-sex marriage, even with equality and freedom from discrimination enshrined in the constitution. The everyday reality is one of opposites: queer joy and acceptance in clubs and cafes mirrored with experiences with discrimination, intolerance and sometimes (far-right) violence.
This isn't the first time queer Ukrainians have had to turn from their own battle for rights to war. In 2014, Ukrainian LGBTQIA+ soldiers fought Russia-backed separatists in eastern Ukraine, when the Crimean Penisula was annexed. Today, those LGBTQIA+ military veterans have emerged as some of the most effective voices in the battle for rights, acceptance and safety for LGBTQIA+ Ukrainians.

Founded by Ukraine's first openly gay military veteran, Viktor Pylypenko, LGBT Military has fought to improve the military's treatment of and support for queer people. But courageous activists such as Pylypenko have also helped drive a transformation in social attitudes towards LGBTQIA+ people in Ukraine in recent years. Having fought for the country against Russia-backed separatists in the East commands respect from wider society and has helped overturned the far-right narrative that gay Ukrainians are not patriots.
Since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, Ukraine has struggled to develop its own, distinct modern identity. But the Revolution of Dignity in 2014 was perhaps the point when Ukrainian society permanently turned its back on being a failing country under the heel of Russia. Ukrainians decisively rejected the corrupt, reactionary and authoritarian path Putin has chosen for Russia and foisted on Ukraine by using friendly oligarchs to subvert the political process. During months of struggle in the depths of winter, over a hundred people—remembered as the Heavenly Hundred—were killed and injured in a fight for democracy, tolerance and human rights.

With the election of Jewish comedian-turned-politician Volodymyr Zelensky as president in 2019, Ukrainian voters resoundingly affirmed their support for the progressive ideals of the Euromaidan revolution. During his first major press conference in October 2019, Zelensky marked a decisive shift from his predecessors when he said all Ukrainians could freely choose their language, religion and sexual orientation: "Leave those people [the LGBTQIA+ community] alone, for God's sake," he said.
Today, equality of gender and sexual orientation is a key part of what it means to be Ukrainian and a fundamental way to signal rejection of Putin's values.
By 2021, Kyiv's Equality March (aka Pride) had grown to around 7,000 attendees, while counter-protests dwindled to just a few hundred. In July 2021, UKRAINEPRIDE even organized Reyvakh Pride: a day rave outside the presidential palace, which served to cement Kyiv's techno and queer scenes together.
"Putin simply didn't like the Revolution of Dignity, when we chose European democratic, humanistic values over a Russian totalitarian nightmare," Andrii says. "Europe and all of the western world should be aware that Ukraine is fighting for them. If we fall, they fall. That is why solidarity is important."
It will take time and massive rebuilding efforts before life in Kyiv returns to anything akin to the pre-invasion buzz, but some Ukrainians that writer Alex King spoke with are confident that the most precious achievements of recent years are not lost. Photos: Lesha Berezovskiy
For years, queer Ukrainians have been fighting for something better through acts of defiance, big and small. When we met Cay in November 2021, they were wearing a pink balaclava, a black ACAB sweater and standing in front of their latest piece, which read: 'Be Queer, Do Crime, Hail Satan!' But when bombs started falling on Kyiv, Cay eventually decided to join the millions of Ukrainians who fled the country as refugees.
"I came to Berlin because I couldn't find how to be useful in Ukraine," Cay says. "When I went to the volunteer center they told me there are too many people who wanted to help and they didn't need any more people at that moment. So, I decided to go to Berlin and organize a fundraising event and exhibition of my work and other queer artists from Ukraine."
While physically separated, Cay and Andrii have been in contact throughout the conflict. Kyiv has been severely damaged but is yet to succumb to the same level of destruction as some other cities, such as Kharkiv, Kherson and Mariupol. "The success of our much more humble and less numerous military forces has birthed a miraculous and extremely powerful wave of national unity and the faith that victory will be ours," Andrii says. But despite the surges of unity and hope, war is a massive weight on the shoulders of those on the frontlines. "I'm not a person who enjoys military life. I'm getting tired and I hope the war will end soon."
When the fighting finally does stop, there will be much rebuilding to do.
Many of the artists, activists and queer folks who made Kyiv such an exciting place to be before the invasion are now scattered around the country and across the continent. Many others have been killed. It will take a long time before life in Kyiv returns to anything akin to the pre-invasion buzz, but both Cay and Andrii are confident that the most precious achievements of recent years are not lost. "I love Kyiv and I miss it so much," Cay says. "After our victory, I'm sure the queer community in Ukraine will flourish. We are fighting for freedom."

MyBayCity.com SCHOOL FUNDING: Michigan's Penurious Effort = Poor Student Learning?
New governor Gretchen Whitmer talks education.
Does the level of school funding determine how well students learn?
A more important factor may be the educational level of parents, a theme we have explored previously in this corner and one that is stressed by advocacy groups such as Child Trends of Bethesda, Maryland.
In our view, the key cause of Michigan's less than stellar educational performance that made headlines recently is the fact that 20 percent of high school seniors do not graduate with their classes.
Therefore, this 20 percent is shunted aside by employers who are mainly reluctant to hire them and they don't qualify for higher education or specialized training. They are consigned to the underclass, with attendant high costs of welfare and corrections. Plus, in general, they are not as supportive of their children's education as parents in higher income groups. and, since the economic realities of today require both parents to work to maintain a home the children of these poverty unions are further shortchanged.
But wouldn't the better part of wisdom would be to view children as a commodity to fuel our industries and economy while making a better life for themselves? This seems to have been lost through the last two decades and, like water torture, the drip, drip, drip of lost school revenue and impoverishment of the working class continues to eat a hole in our society.
The cumulative effect of the undermining of the social structure through inadequate education is compounding regularly, driving the state lower and lower in education and workforce capabilities.
No less an authority than Henry Ford commented in the press 100 years ago about inequities in education and mused about how this could be reversed.
Michigan is in the second generation of a change in the way schools are funded, generally referred to as the Proposal A. watershed since it has put schools under water.
By taking the decision in school funding away from parents and local taxpayers and shifting it to legislators and Lansing policymakers, schools became less important and ended up in competition with tax cuts allegedly to boost industry and workers.
This idea was a bust on two fronts since tax cuts ended up benefiting mainly affluent families and the gutting of school funding has undermined educators' attempts to shape a viable a working class so the state can compete in the global economy.
Michigan needs to reverse its funding priorities, say several education experts.
"While funding alone cannot fix Michigan's troubled education system, there is no question that adequate and equitable funding is particularly important for raising the teaching and learning levels of Michigan's vulnerable students," said Amber Arellano, director of Education Trust-Midwest, a Michigan-based advocacy group. "Indeed, research supports how critical well-invested, adequate and effectively spent funding is for low-income students."
"Michigan ranks among the bottom five states for funding equity between districts serving the highest percentages of low-income students and districts serving the fewest," Arellano said. "In fact, Michigan is one of only sixteen states that provides less funding to its highest poverty districts than to its lowest poverty districts, according to a recent national report.
Said David Arsen, the MSU author: "The state has focused on accountability and (school) choice policies, with the idea that we could leave funding aside, and we've been kidding ourselves. Honestly, when you have policymakers obsessed with grading schools, but all the schools are sinking compared to other states, we should be grading the policy. And we're not doing too well."
The 2017 report from the Gov. Rick Snyder's 21st Century Education Commission put it this way: "The urgency could not be greater. While it is difficult to face, the data are clear: Michigan children are falling behind."
"Educational level strongly influences how much money a worker will earn and the likelihood of the worker being in poverty, but only 37% of Michigan residents age 25 or older have an associate's degree or higher.
"Many working parents find it difficult to balance work, school, and family, and those who go back to school after being in the workforce sometimes need remediation.
"Yet in Michigan, tuition for higher education is among the highest in the country, there is no financial aid for those who have been out of high school more than 10 years, and there is far too little adult education accessible to prepare adults with basic skills for post-secondary education or occupational training."
The remedy is clear: we need to focus on non-graduates and training for jobs.
New Governor Gretchen Whitmer's "cradle to career" approach is right on.
She says: "Continuing to grow support for project-based learning -- like STEAM and Robotics -- while investing more in skills and technical trades and job training programs. This will ensure Michigan is building a talented workforce that can compete for high-skill, high-wage jobs of tomorrow."

The strange case of Clarence Clarity
Sometimes you completely miss the bandwagon on a story.
"Clarence Clarity's part of the future right there, it really is, pushing the boundaries on every level, sonically and lyrically" – Zane Lowe
"alternatively terrifying, hilarious and amazing" – Wonderland Magazine
"Whether or not you like shadowed newcomer Clarence Clarity's debut track 4GODSLUV you're most certaintly going to remember it, and him." – Abeano
"There were rumours bandied about that perpetually elusive Jai Paul was in fact Clarence Clarity. Maybe it's Burial in a slimy disguise?" – Line of Best Fit
"It's pop music for the f*cked up, insane, odd and those of us who want music to do deranged things now and then…So who is Clarence Clarity?"Breaking More Waves
Back in July, a number of outlets were keen to unmask who exactly self-described Fijian Clarence Clarity was. Coming out with a handful of tracks made of ominous, whining sounds, the attention to his music seemed to appear for a couple of days and vanish.
Guess it was shit.
Except it's not. As we're gearing up to do our end of year list in the next few days, I decided to trawl my iTunes by date and stumbled on a his music – unplayed, and the name not ringing a bell at all. So I gave it a listen and I was quite pleased to see that an artist we've been covering on the site since way back in the early days of 2010 had finally put out new material. Not least because I'd been a fan of his music since his first band ■■■■ ■■■■■■ broke on to the scene in 2004/05.
As with his other recent music, the tracks were all dark patchworks of vocal snippets, disjointed synth lines and foley sound effects. The poly-rhythms are off kilter, the vocal hooks are rife and it comes off like tortured pop for future-goths. But despite this, or perhaps because of it, Clarence's Save Thyself EP feels like the follow up that never came to his earlier act's final 2010 EP – infact I'll swear the sparkling intro noise on The Gospel Truth was sampled straight from it.
So what was all the mystery about, and why had nobody realised it was ■■■■ ■■■■■? Sure his former band, as well as later project ■■■■■■■■■■■■■, never broke out in to the mainstream consciousness, but they both attracted a solid and fairly devoted fan base. In particular, their fan base were generally the people who you now see typing out hundreds of words daily under the titles "Introducing" and "Breaking", something didn't make sense.
Naturally, therefore, I figured I was wrong. It wouldn't be the first time two artists were confused due to their vocalists sharing certain mannerisms – shout out to everyone who still has a 'System of a Down' cover of the Legend of Zelda theme tune lying around somewhere. Which, again naturally, meant the next step was to hit Google for a bit of research – there were a fair few stories about him in July and September, surely someone realised? It's not like he's vanished off the face of the earth, Bad Dream Hotline was plastered over a lot of 'Best albums of the year' lists 12 months ago.
The first thing I did was to check the same place I found out about his last project back in 2010: a long dead fan forum for his first band. There was a post on there that connected them to Clarence Clarity.
Second point of call was to do whois search on the website linked to from his Soundcloud. ■■■■ ■■■■■.
Okay that seems quite conclusive. It's him.
[soundcloud url="https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/109573156″ params="color=76499d&auto_play=false&show_artwork=true" width="100%" height="166″ iframe="true" /]
But you're not idiots and have probably noticed none of the above specifically points to the artist in question. Why? As we've seen on a number occasions during 2013, artists and blogs have clashed over just how far is too far when "exposing" the mystery behind an artist. Sometimes it's questions over whether the exposer went too far (hey!), whilst the exposers in turn have argued at times that the information they're posting is all already in the public domain.
We enter a whole other minefield when the mystery has been purposefully constructed. Since the mystery behind artists like Burial and Wu Lyf has been seen to bolster the attention they received, as well as add an otherwise unattainable sense of mystique and isolation to their music, not a day goes by that a new artist doesn't email blogs across the world positioning themselves as "anonymous". Most of them are now ignored, or receive only a cursory glance at their background – just as with our friend Clarence Clarity – but there's a growing sense that this trend long ago reached capacity. In fact, the big "anonymous" artists of late (Jai Paul, Boots etc) have all been those where their anonymity was not constructed, it was not the product of a PR department spending 30 minutes brainstorming in their lounge, it was not spelled out in a carefully worded press release: it's been down to a genuine desire to lay low and shun the spotlight.
There was a recent incident on this very site – nope, not that one – where an artist was unhappy with the mystery behind their alias being revealed. Nothing the writer of that piece did was illegal, immoral, or intrusive, but nonetheless the artist got in touch in a perturbed manner. By revealing their past, they argued, they were being prevented from having the fresh start that they were craving. They hadn't claimed they were anonymous as part of some marketing hook, in fact they hadn't promoted themselves at all – who was the blogger to deny them a second chance? In this particular case, the writer took the piece down, for the simple reason that the artist was right – everyone is entitled to a fresh go at things. If being an anonymous artist meant their music could receive the full commendations it deserved without being subjected to half-arsed, snide comments about the musician's previous work (see: almost The Horrors), or lumped with expectations from former fan bases (see: Captain Murphy) then any music fan should be in support of that.
Any good writer, blogger, journalist (whatever you want to call yourself) that stumbles on a potentially interesting mystery needs to first ask, is there any real benefit in the mystery being deconstructed and exposed? This is the same test any "real" journalist would use before exposing potentially personal information. If people are being asked to spend their real money on a set of questionable Bandcamp tracks that may or may not be real, it could easily be argued that there is a very real public interest in revealing that. If a guy's name is attached to a headline grabbing album but he is trying his hardest to not reveal his personal history, there's a story there, but you're probably not going to be winning any moral victories any time soon.
It's half two. I'm fairly sure I haven't re-read half of what I just wrote. But my key point is this: whilst trying to confirm who Clarence Clarity is via Google, I found that he made the following statement only earlier this month:
I've kept my personal details out of the picture for now, just while people are still being introduced to the music. I'd like the listener to paint their own picture of who they think Clarence Clarity is first. I'll introduce bits of myself as we go. The music should have its own story, starting now.
I can't think of any real benefit that can come from revealing who he is. I'll therefore leave you with the knowing description that accompanied his video for Alive in the Septic Tank when it was first premiered on Noisey.
The keen eared audio entrepreneurs, those who inject themselves with forward-thinking music like jetsetting Mother's digest Elle, should be able to distinguish the guy behind these vocals instantaneously.

GE 2017 - the world turned upside down?
To support Renewal's work promoting productive debate across the British left and get the whole journal every quarter, please subscribe.Paul Thompson
This was the election in which almost every established nostrum was overturned.
Some are what psephologists call 'the 'fundamentals', in this case the young will not turn out to vote; divided parties don't do well; campaigns/manifestos only make a marginal difference to vote share; parties with the lead on security, economic credibility and leadership will do best; that tabloid hostility would be decisive.
Others are more like received wisdoms, especially amongst the commentariat, notably that Corbyn is unelectable, that Labour is in terminal decline, that the two-party system is dead; that the British people will not vote for a radical manifesto. And before anyone points out the obvious, yes Labour didn't win. The Tories got more votes and more seats. They still form the Government. Yet, in a substantive sense Labour and Corbyn did win – by reducing the Tories to a minority administration, by increasing the Party's vote share by the largest amount since 1945, and most importantly by breaking the ideological stranglehold of austerity.
Unexpected outcomes are a challenge to the natural desire for events to confirm what we thought would happen.
Whilst most Corbyn sceptics (including myself) have rightly eaten some humble pie, there are some prominent dissenters on the Right of the Party including Chris Leslie and Peter Hyman. The main refrain is that May was so rubbish and the Tory manifesto was so awful that Labour should have swept to power and would have done with the 'right' leader. The problem with that argument is that the two things which made the difference this time – a radical manifesto and the ability to enthuse younger voters would not happened under any other likely leader.
Whilst there are legitimate concerns about leadership competence, much of the Right of the Party are in denial about the manifesto. Under Ed Miliband, we had an opportunity to take the fight to the Tories and didn't. Our 'narrow retail offer' in 2015 was pitiful and, if not Tory-lite, shone little light on the Tories and their austerity policies.
It is true that polling and canvass returns allowed readings from the likes of Jason Cowley, Atul Hatwal and others to reinforce their views of impending, catastrophic defeat. But commentators need to understand that 'existing data points' are no longer an adequate guide to potential events and behaviour. The core propositions of Progress and Blue Labour have become stale – Labour can 'only win from the centre' or 'Britain is a (socially) conservative nation' both reveal a profound pessimism about the possibility of transformative change and the willingness of enough of the electorate to vote for it.
There is also some retrospective myth-making on the opposite wing. A common one is the claim that only doubts by 'Labour moderates' prevented a Labour victory and such caution led to a failure to target winnable seats. What this conveniently ignores is that such doubts were widely shared in their own camp. Early in the campaign, Len McCluskey made a pre-emptive strike to lower expectations by arguing that progress in the election would be retention of around 200 seats and there was other talk that a satisfactory outcome and enough to keep Corbyn in office would be to improve on Miliband's 2015 vote share. Thankfully, Corbyn considerably exceeded those expectations, but if insider accounts are accurate his core team were as shocked and surprised by the exit poll as the rest of us.
There is a strain of thought within Corbynism that might be called the irresistible momentum thesis. In other words, that through adding members, activists and effort in the next batch of marginals, history is assured next time. All those things are good, but we need to remember that not only did the Tories win, they added 5.5% to their own vote share, which sits at a comparably historic high of 42.4%. They also took five seats from Labour in traditional areas such as Mansfield, Stoke and Derby, and still lead Labour amongst broadly speaking 'working class voters' (C2, DE) by 44-42%.
Labour under Corbyn did a fantastic job in expanding the core vote amongst the 18-24 and 25-34 groups and by mopping up the votes of smaller parties, but there is no path to victory that does not include getting Tory voters to switch to Labour. Many of these will be working class voters who deserted the Party in 2010 and 2015. This task is not only hard; it is made harder still by the dominant view amongst Corbyn supporters that voting Tory is unimaginable or a sign of moral or intellectual defect. It is wise to retain a distinction between Tories and people who at any point in time may vote Tory.
In Scotland, the task will be different, with the route to progress continuing to be winning back previous Labour voters from the SNP through a politics that convinces them that there is a viable radically social-democratic alternative to independence.
That's enough looking backwards. What does Labour need to do to take the next steps?
First it needs a period of cooperation and consensus building to bring together the different currents in the Party that want to move on from the previous low intensity war. As John Harris has argued, the Labour surge was a collective and collegiate process authored by those with diverse political identities inside and sometimes outside the Party. Moving on will include recognition that Corbyn is leader for the foreseeable future and that a radical, anti-austerity manifesto is an essential foundation for our campaigning. It also means bringing in some repentant refuseniks into shadow cabinet or other prominent positions. This is vital, not just for internal Party cohesion, but as a signal to the public that we are now more united, and reassurance to middle ground voters that we need to be on board. It is also essential that we have a full shadow front bench in place, including a return to positions such as a shadow minister for mental health. A larger, more diverse and distinguished leadership team will also allow Jeremy to do what he is best at – campaigning.
Second, we need to make a new, radical offer to the electorate, building from the existing manifesto, as we prepare for a probable election within 18 months. If that sounds contradictory to the point about the manifesto, it need not be. As Paul Mason and others have noted, the political ground is likely to shift rapidly as a result both of the new political and economic circumstances and the lessons that the smarter Tories have drawn from their own debacle. One is that they must signal that the era of austerity is over or at least that there is an end in sight. In substance, they will struggle to find the extra resources to fund public services without changing their fiscal framework, but the mood music is very likely to change. They may look for a more consensual, softer route for Brexit. There are those like Larry Elliot whose advice to Labour is let the Tories stew in that juice of their own making, but at the very least Labour will need to sharpen its current vague and sometimes ambiguous position on Brexit.
What might that new, radical offer consist of including, but beyond anti-austerity? Labour needs to be as radical about the redistribution of power as it is about wealth and other resources. That means more devolution to regions and localities and more post-Brexit powers repatriated to Scottish and Welsh Parliaments in the context of a transition to a more federal system. To build greater credibility for alternatives to austerity, Labour needs more emphasis on wealth creation through incentives for innovation, green growth and long-term investment, with penalties for speculative, short-term corporate practices. Post-financial crash, the UK economy has been kept afloat largely through the magic money tree, otherwise known as quantitative easing. Most of the money has benefited the financial sector and corporations, who are now sitting in piles of cash whilst national leadership on where this should be invested remains completely absent. Labour needs a clearer and more growth-oriented industrial strategy that can challenge the hollow shell of the Tory version.
What about alliances? In our existing electoral system, some citizens will always choose to vote tactically and Labour should be relaxed about that. Advocates of a more formal 'progressive alliance' have oversold its benefits and underestimated both the practical obstacles to anything more than local, informal arrangements, as well as the dangers of public perception of backstage deals and restriction of choice. It is more important to focus on the reasons why people have to vote tactically – our broken electoral system. Labour should be prepared to talk with other progressive parties with a view to identifying common ground on electoral and constitutional reform.
Labour is rightfully itching for another chance to take on the Tories electorally. However, the next steps will be difficult and uncertain. The emergence of a massive gap between the economics of financialised capitalism and a political class unwilling or unable to deal with the negative consequences means that we all have had to get used to living with much greater volatility, manifested in complex and cross-cutting divisions of age, class, gender and regional divisions. That volatility has produced outcomes ranging from the rise of right-wing populism in the USA and elsewhere to a renewal of radical centrism under Macron in France.
In the UK, Corbyn-led Labour has awakened the slumbering giant of social democracy, enfeebled by a mixture of its own caution and partial adaptation to neo-liberalism. In the electoral tests to come, Corbyn and Labour cannot just repeat playing the insurgency card – we must consolidate the progress we have made whilst further widening our coalition of supporters. As Jackie Ashley observed, we must also build enough leadership potential to sound and behave like a government in waiting and a party that has the legitimacy and capacity to govern. We may not have long to wait to test with the new model Labour Party is up to that test.

Checklist » Ericaceae » Arctostaphylos uva-ursi
Last updated 6/28/2020 by David Giblin.
Arctostaphylos uva-ursi (L.) Spreng.[FNA8, HC, HC2]
red bearberry, kinnikinnick
Publication: Syst. Veg. 2: 287. 1825.
selected vouchers: WTU
Notes: FNA8: "Arctostaphylos uva-ursi exhibits great variation in indument associated with the young twigs. Most of this variation has historically been separated into subspecies, except that a recent analysis of the group suggested environmentally-based variation in these characters (T. J. Rosatti 1987b). This is the most widely distributed of all Arctostaphylos species and is the only one found outside of North America. Two ploidy levels are common, and populations sometimes contain both diploids and tetraploids. More work on this widespread species will likely elucidate its variation in morphology and ploidy. Infraspecific taxa may well be recognized once these patterns are further assessed.
A form with somewhat puberulent and larger leaves has been described as Arctostaphylos ×media Greene. It occurs along the northern California coast and in Oregon and Washington. It is assumed to be a hybrid between A. uva-ursi and A. columbiana. Similarly, in the Rocky Mountains in areas with both A. uva-ursi and A. patula, hybrids have been called A. coloradensis Rollins."

Crossover - Jeep – an iconic off-road vehicle!
Official premiere of the Jeep Wrangler will take place at the exhibition in Los Angeles, which will open in autumn 2017. Right after the official premiere, the Company will launch serial production of the vehicle. Jeep Wrangler 2018 production will start in the same month at the factory in Toledo (Ohio). At the beginning of 2018 the novelty will arrive in dealer showrooms, and a year later we will see a pickup based on the Wrangler model. In March-June, 2018 the factory in Ohio will be closed for a full end of production of Wrangler JK and for an establishment of an extra assembly lines JL.
Official premiere of the new generation of Jeep Compass took place at the auto show in Los Angeles. Earlier SUV was demonstrated in Brazil. Serial production of 2017 Jeep Compass will be established at the company's facilities in Mexico. It is assumed that the car will be available for sale in the first quarter of this season. New crossover has received more solid appearance and reminds very much an all-terrain vehicle Jeep Grand Cherokee.
The Chinese division of American automaker Jeep released the first teaser of the new model named C-SUV. Public debut of the novelty will take place in November 2016 in Guangzhou.
Charged SUV appeared in the European market in February 2015. Debut of special series of SRT Red Vapor, took place in October at the Paris Motor Show. Charged SUV is available for buyers in three exterior colors options – red, white and black. The vehicle salon is trimmed with leather and there are red suede upholstered seat. Standard chrome plates that are present in the conventional SRT are replaced with the same, but it is in gray color.
The latest version of the charged Jeep Grand Cherokee will appear in the middle of 2016. Concern Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is preparing to release this version of Jeep Grand Cherokee crossover, which will get a heavy-duty eight-cylinder engine Hellcat.

Yoga at Any Price
Mar. 4, 2010 | Updated Jul. 12, 2013 at 12:11 pm
When Lily Cushman told us she and her partner were opening a pay-by-donation yoga studio, our eyebrows went up an inch. Usually studios can afford to offer one or two classes a week where you pay what you wish. But every single class? In a prime Park Slope space on Sixth Ave. at St. Marks? Was she crazy? (And secretly rich?)
Yes and no. "It might seem crazy, but on the West coast this is a more common model," says the 30-year-old yoga instructor, who was inspired to follow suit after hearing from so many people that they couldn't afford yoga classes. "There's a handful of studios in the Bay Area and L.A. that do this, and you go there and it's 100 people in a class."
The capacity won't reach those levels when Dharma Yoga Brooklyn opens next week–the second-floor studio can only accommodate 25. But factor into the equation a below-market deal on rent, fundraising, and financial help from the Dharma Yoga Center in Gramercy, where she was a manager, helped run the teacher training program, and assisted the center's namesake, Sri Dharma Mittra, and the business model makes more sense. Also key: Belief that it will just work.
"It's very much a leap of faith, and people have responded extraordinarily," says Cushman. One friend traveled across the country to do a week of construction for free; others without much money donated sums like $500.
At Dharma Yoga Brooklyn, which Cushman will run jointly with her partner Jeremy Frindel (that's them in Pigeon pose), the style of yoga is classical in its truest sense. It's based upon the teachings of Sri Dharma Mittra, a 70-year-old Yogi who helped popularize yoga in New York before it was a scene. He still teaches daily at his Gramercy center, and by Cushman's accounts, teaches "the hardest class in the city." But even those unfamiliar with his name may recognize his Master Yoga Chart of 908 Postures, a common sight in yoga centers and ashrams.
Classes at Dharma Yoga Brooklyn begin next Tuesday and will be offered every day, along with a few workshops, meditation, relaxation and chanting sessions mixed in. There's no suggested donation for any of them, not even for the mats and towels. "The beauty of letting the student decide the price, is that they can really consider the value themselves," Cushman says. Already, she's seen "a ripple effect" since she and Frindel announced they were opening the studio. One major center in Manhattan, Strala Yoga, recently dropped its price to $10 per class–a bargain compared to the $15-$18 most pay everywhere else (even Brooklyn).
The grand opening this Saturday will be Dharma Yoga Brooklyn's final fundraiser and silent auction of items serious practioners will appreciate, like a 19th century Hindu deity print and the complete Krishna Das CD collection. Sri Dharma Mittra himself will make an appearance at noon, and there will be all-day chanting. ("We're going to be taking breaks," clarifies Cushman.) Also being auctioned off are class cards at a few other Brooklyn yoga studios.
"We just want people to practice. If they don't click in with what we're doing, they can go to the Bikram place around the corner. It's not about us, it's not about me or mine, it's about everybody…It's cool. It'll all work out."

After a long, grueling campaign and not a few story twists, Kevin K. prevailed in his victory of the club vice president office. Brian H. put up an honorable fight, but when reminded what was at stake (and what the job description was), he was the first to concede… *just* beating Kevin to the punch. Matt the Elder was nominated and elected President, Jennie N. was elected Membership Officer, and the individual with the worst recollection for names and brews, Chip C., was nominated and elected for Secretary (naturally).
A round of thank you's were offered to the outgoing slate of officers, none of who could be recalled, but they must have been good at what they did. Seriously though – thanks to Tolga (El Presidente), Matt the Elder (VP), and Zach M. (secretary)!
Next month's judged beer is brewer's choice, with a reminder that December is Big Beer month, so keep that in mind!
Next year's brewing calendar was discussed, and overall it was approved, with the month of August being changed to IPAs. May will remain to be the annual club competition, despite this year's June results.
Creating a Lovettsville homebrew competition was discussed, and it was found that there was interest in creating and hosting this. More discussion is needed, along with several volunteers to see it through. Logistics include organizing and running the event, recruiting judges, and reaching out to brewers.
Amongst all of this business talk, we actually drank some beer, too!!
Standard caveat to apply: My apologies, but I am atrocious with names (which is why I was nominated for secretary, I suppose!). If I have attributed a beer incorrectly, or have flat out messed up, please let me know and I will correct the minutes. Thanks!
The winner for October 2014 bestest brewer, and finally unseating 2-time champion Jennie N., was Kevin "Mister VP" K, with his tasty Pumpkin Kolsch. We were all very impressed by how well the pumpkin and spice flavors complemented the kolsch yeast and bready malt backbone. Way to go K2!

The Lost Uber Driver Surfboard is excessive fun, beyond expectations and above all – a great everyday surfboard.
About the Lost Uber Driver Surfboard: "Uber" means excessive, beyond, and above all. The new Uber Driver is just that. Excessive fun, beyond expectations and above all – a great everyday surfboard. It's designed to further blend the barriers between hybrids and Pro-Formance surfboards. The Uber Driver features the outline and rocker/concaves from the back half (engine room/control center) of the DRIVERS currently ridden in smaller waves on tour by Kolohe Andino and Griffin Colapinto. It is then blended to a lower, wider, faster, more forgiving and playful nose. The tail features a low centerline rocker with a curvy rail line rocker under the rear foot, that transitions from a generous single/double concave through the front fins, to a noticeable vee behind the rear fin and out the tail. The nose rocker and forward outline was imported from our Rocket series outlines, and allows this board to be ridden shorter, with more speed out the gate and more drive and stability for everyday surfers. The outline and rocker are blended in a way that enables the board to still be surfed like a modern Pro-formance shortboard. It just feels like you'e cheating a little. The Uber-Driver is the Ripper's Pro-formance hybrid. Uber-ripping fun for everyone.


David Strick has 24 new photos from the set of the big screen adaptation of Stephenie Meyer's bestselling novel Twilight. We've included five of the more interesting shots after the jump, but head over to The Backlot for more photos in high resolution. And with that, let the Twilight Comment Wars continue!
Official Plot Synopsis: Twilight is an action-packed, modern day love story between a vampire and a human. Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) has always been a little bit different, never caring about fitting in with the trendy girls at her Phoenix high school. When her mother remarries and sends Bella to live with her father in the rainy little town of Forks, Washington, she doesn't expect much of anything to change. Then she meets the mysterious and dazzlingly beautiful Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), a boy unlike any she's ever met. Intelligent and witty, he sees straight into her soul. Soon, Bella and Edward are swept up in a passionate and decidedly unorthodox romance. Edward can run faster than a mountain lion, he can stop a moving car with his bare hands – and he hasn't aged since 1918. Like all vampires, he's immortal. But he doesn't have fangs, and he doesn't drink human blood; Edward and his family are unique among vampires in their lifestyle choice. To Edward, Bella is that thing he has waited 90 years for – a soul mate. But the closer they get, the more Edward must struggle to resist the primal pull of her scent, which could send him into an uncontrollable frenzy. But what will Edward & Bella do when James (Cam Gigandet), Laurent (Edi Gathegi) and Victoria (Rachelle Lefevre), the Cullens' mortal vampire enemies, come to town, looking for her?


AURORA, Colo. -- A man who recently shared beers with the suspect in the Aurora movie theater shooting called him a "well-educated" man with "a little smirk."
Jackie Mitchell said he drank two beers at the Zephyr Lounge in Aurora Tuesday with James Holmes, the suspect accused of killing 12 and injuring 59 others at the premiere of "The Dark Knight Rises."
For our live, up-to-the-minute coverage of the Aurora theater shooting, click here.
When asked if it seemed like Homes was the kind of person who would go on a shooting spree in a crowded movie theater, Mitchell said "no, not at all."
"He seemed like a well-educated, book-smart type of person," Mitchell said. "The picture they showed on the news, that's the picture you see when you're talking to him. He had a little smirk like he's intelligent."

Q: Setting CSS Expression using $.css() in JQuery I'm trying to set a css expression for an attribute for an element as follows.
var scrollTopExpr = '$(document).scrollTop()';
var expr = "expression(eval(" + scrollTopExpr + "))";
$(this).css("top", expr);

But i'm getting "Invalid Argument" as an error. Any ideas?

A: Expressions were deprecated and removed in IE8 (unless you're in compatibility mode).  They're also performance hogs and you should stay away from them if you can, using JavaScript instead.
You don't need to use eval() inside expression(), and this is what's causing your error.  eval() expects a string, but you're passing the result of a variable to it, which is a Number.  Take out eval():
"expression(" + scrollTopExpr + ")";

expression() already evaluates the expression you pass to it, so eval() is entirely unnecessary.

Detailed Guide & Inspiration For Designing A Rustic Living. Rustic doesn't have to mean dark and clunky. Read our guide to design a warm, rustic-style lounge for yourself - using a range of stylish looks and furnishings.


We love our cell phones for being able to work on-the-go. However, as the cell phone has developed into the smartphone, it can also be one of the biggest distractions in our lives.
With July being National Cell Phone Courtesy Month, an event founded by author and etiquette expert Jacqueline Whitmore in 2002 with the intent of making cell phone users more respectful of their surroundings.
Be all there: When you're in a meeting, performance, courtroom or other busy area, let calls go to voicemail to avoid a disruption. In some instances, turning your phone off may be the best solution.
Keep your cool: Don't display anger during a public call. Conversations that are likely to be emotional should be held where they will not embarrass or intrude on others.
Learn to vibe: Always use your wireless phone's silent or vibration settings in public places such as business meetings, religious services, schools, restaurants, theaters or sporting events so that you do not disrupt your surroundings.
Avoid "cell yell:" Remember to use your regular conversational tone when speaking on your wireless phone. People tend to speak more loudly than normal and often don't recognize how distracting they can be to others.
Excuse yourself. If you are expecting a call that can't be postponed, alert your companions ahead of time and excuse yourself when the call comes in; the people you are with should take precedence over calls you want to make or receive.
Focus on driving: Always practice wireless responsibility while driving. Don't make or answer calls while in heavy traffic or in hazardous driving conditions. Place calls when your vehicle is not moving, and use a hands-free device to help focus attention on safety. Always make safety your most important call.

Hire the best editor and designer money can buy. Everything flows from there.
Great content stems from a great editor, says Andrew Hirsch the CEO of London's award winning content agency John Brown Media. With more than 50 Blue Chip clients in five continents, from John Lewis, Chelsea FC, RBS and Virgin (to name just a few), Hirsch knows a thing or two about custom publishing. Here he shares his insights on using data to inform content and why brands need to have a multichannel approach.
Content Magazine: Congratulations on your recent wins at the CMA awards in London. Nine accolades from 21 nominations is impressive. What do you think is the key to your teams' success?
Andrew Hirsch: The key ingredient to our success in content is hiring the very, very best designers and the very best editors. I think this should almost be money no object. You should not be looking to save money on your editor. You should be going out and getting the very best editorial team for the brand. Who your editor is and the quality of the design are the two key elements to success.
Your background is in content—setting up your own publishing company in Australia in 1987—is this why you place so much emphasis on quality editorial?
That's right, and then when I joined John Brown back in the UK in 1992—this company also had a rich heritage in consumer magazines. So quality content is in our blood. Our starting point always begins with the questions: Are we producing something people would want to pay for? Is it as good as a news stand title? Even though most of our content isn't paid for (by the consumer), is the quality (of what we create) good enough to be paid for? That's our benchmark and where we come from.
How do you marry creative excellence with commercial demands?
It's not necessarily an easy thing to do. But we always start from the point of view of the end customer, not our client. If you take Waitrose (the high-end British supermarket) as an example—before launching its 'Waitrose Food' magazine we set out to understand what their customers wanted to read; what they were currently reading; what other media they looked at. And we found out about the kind of content they already liked to absorb and engage with. Then we said, how can we match that or give them something better? We always look at the customers and work out how to please them first. If our clients' customers are happy, then our clients are happy. There are agencies out there that say as long as the client is happy, then the job's done. I don't actually believe that. Appeasing the client is only half the job. I think you've got to go way beyond that.
John Brown Media has launched some of the best branded magazines in the world from Bloomingdales to Virgin Airlines. Why do you think magazines are still popular, considering we live in a digital age?
You need to get people's attention, and print gets attention. If everyone just did digital—it would become too noisy and people would switch off from it. But the reality is, a single channel approach doesn't work. Whether it's a print only or digital only campaign. You need to look multichannel. Things work best when you've got print and digital working alongside each other. You've also got to look at your demographic and the age group you're targeting. If you're looking at trying to get to 18 year olds, then maybe a digital campaign disbursed with an event is the way to go. If you're looking to target a 48 year old, maybe a mixture of print, digital and events will work. You've got to look at the customer. You need to find out what they are absorbing already. You can't just say, 'well here's what we're going to do' and ignore the customer.
In 2015 you merged with Dentsu Aegis Network and have since been able to work closely with its data analysis arm, iProspect. How important is data to your business?
Data has always been important. It's just now, since our acquisition with Dentsu, we have better access to more sophisticated data. But we've always used data and insights when pitching to a client. We don't just go in and say 'this is what we think'. We actually go in and say this is what the market is doing, this is what your competitor is doing, this is what your competitor is doing in other markets around the world and here's the gap in the market that you're not involved in from a content perspective. We use data insights to identify gaps in the market and suggest content that will fill the gap.
How are you using the new forms of data to shape your content decisions?
We are working with iProspect globally on a number of brands. We are now able to look closely at those clients' key words or key phrases and work out how they can automate them. What's interesting is we can now identify say 10 phrases that prospective customers are searching for. We can then give these to our editorial teams as a starting point for them to create content around. We're actually making content much more compelling for online users and potential customers, who are already searching for these phrases, to buy from that brand.
What marketing automation tools are you using?
We're using Hubspot and a similar tool to Silverpop more than we did, say six months ago, and we'll be using them more as we go forward. But I think tools only tell you so much. One of the things our editors do is absorb themselves into their brands. So for example an editor for John Lewis will shop regularly in store, online and on mobile to truly understand the customer experience. They'll learn much more from that than from marketing automation tools.
Are consumers becoming fatigued with 'branded content'? And if so, how are you combating this sentiment?
I don't think they are fed up with content per se. People are fed up with being bombarded with poor content—where it's not relevant, where it's not well targeted and where they've already said no to it. Content needs to be relevant, when it's not relevant fatigue is not the right word, it's irritation. For us we're just focusing on creating great content. Great content finds the customer—if you produce mediocre work, that's very easy to switch off from, that doesn't stand out in a crowded market then consumers won't engage with it.
You've a lot of experience migrating traditional print products online, what lessons have you learnt from that process that you can share?
About seven or eight years ago we spent a lot of time thinking about how we were going to move our clients' products from print to digital. Looking back—the way we did it stemmed from hiring the right editor, someone that was as comfortable in digital as they were in print. These editors understood that they weren't creating content for a magazine and then reformatting it, but were creating content into one form that could be pushed into any channel. If you've got an editor that doesn't feel confident working in a digital world, then they're not the right editor for you.
If you'd liked to be featured in Content Magazine and have a passion you'd like to share please get in touch.
1. Hire the best editor money can buy. Take for example, the British high end supermarket chain Waitrose. It launched its multichannel content, with John Brown Media, under the watchful eye of editor, TV presenter, food critic and writer William Sitwell. He has grown its audience to 2.5 million readers, who now refer to the publication as 'the Bible of food'.
3. Make the content original. Find out what the competition are doing and do something better, says Andrew Hirsch of John Brown Media. His teams set out to understand what the end customer wants to read; what they're currently reading and other media they absorb and engage with. And then they create something unique.
4. Put your clients' customers first. Yes, your client matters, but it's their customers that matter more. "We always look at the customers and work out how to please them first. If our clients' customers are happy, then our clients are happy. Appeasing the client is only half the job," says Hirsch.
5. Take a multichannel approach. One channel will not reach all. Your content needs to be diversified to reflect the audience you're trying to target. The targeted demographic and age groups' behaviour will determine the emphasis of content, whether it's a mixture of print and digital or a combination of digital and experiential.
6. Use data to inform your content decisions. Even if you can't afford to employ a data analytics program, you can use Google Analytics to find out the key words and phrases that your customers are searching with. Collate as many as 10 key phrases and hand these to your editorial teams to create effective, searchable content.
7. Marketing automation tools like Hubspot or Silverpop work, but nothing actually beats getting into the mind of the customer by shopping online, on mobile and in store to fully absorb the brand experience.
8. Create relevant content. Nothing turns the consumer off faster than receiving content they don't want, haven't subscribed to, or worst still have already unsubscribed to. Use personalisation tactics to remember preferences, behaviours and shopping habits. So don't waste your precious email time slot sending irrelevant content.

Cost control in health care requires a focus on value, or the quality of health outcomes for resources used. Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a disease that lacks coordination of care, defined outcomes, and an understanding of costs. Anecdotally, treatments do not deliver on value. In this cohort cost-identification study, Kirby et al demonstrate that HS affects a younger, predominantly female population who more frequently use high-cost settings such as the emergency department and inpatient care. Educational interventions for patients with HS and nondermatologists may reduce unnecessary high-cost care, and defining meaningful outcome measures for patients may improve the value of health care for patients.
Alopecia areata (AA) is a common autoimmune form of nonscarring alopecia. Although the peribulbar "swarm of bees" lymphocytic infiltrate is considered the diagnostic histopathologic feature of AA, it may be subtle or absent in chronic AA. The presence of eosinophils around the hair bulbs or within the fibrous tracts has been reported as a helpful diagnostic feature in the absence of a peribulbar lymphocytic infiltrate. In this retrospective review of scalp biopsy specimens, Yoon et al demonstrate that this eosinophilic infiltrate was not a common finding in chronic AA, limiting its diagnostic usefulness.
Psoriasis is a chronic, common, immune-mediated systemic disease affecting more than 125 million individuals worldwide. It is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and hypertension, but the temporal association remains unclear. In this prospective cohort study, Wu et al demonstrate that long-term hypertension is associated with an increased risk of psoriasis. Among antihypertensive medications, only long-term use of β-blockers was found to be associated with increased psoriasis risk.
Infantile hemangioma (IH) is a common benign tumor of infancy, affecting nearly 10% of children. Lesions of IH may range from superficial papules to large tumors that interfere with vital organ function or cause permanent disfigurement. Accurate assessment of IH proliferation and involution may assist in making appropriate treatment recommendations and evaluating treatment efficacy. In this prospective cohort study, Mohammed et al demonstrate the reliability and validity of infrared thermography (IRT) measurement of IH growth. Noninvasive, convenient, and well-tolerated by infants, IRT offers real-time objective results that are useful in routine IH monitoring and in evaluating IH treatment efficacy.
Vismodegib is a Hedgehog pathway inhibitor used to treat advanced basal cell carcinoma (BCC). In animal models, decreased Hedgehog signaling has been shown to predispose to squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), and recently, 4 cases of vismodegib-associated SCC at sites distant from the BCC have been reported. In this report, Zhu et al describe 2 cases of SCC within the tumor bed of locally advanced BCC during vismodegib treatment, highlighting the importance of repeated biopsy in locally advanced BCCs if an area within the tumor responds differently to vismodegib therapy or if vismodegib stops suppressing tumor progression.


On May 31, Google's digital wallet Android Pay launched its debut in Canada for Visa and MasterCard credit cards, along with Interac debit cards starting June 5. Android Pay supports banks accounts from BMO, CIBC and Scotiabank, as well as smaller institutions including PC Financial, Desjardins, Banque Nationale and ATB Financial. According to Google, support for American Express and Tangerine accounts will come later this summer.Two of the largest national banks, RBC and TD, have yet to offer Android Pay but indicate a willingness to support it. Currently, both institutions support Apple Pay. Spencer Spinnell, Google's Director of Emerging Platforms, says that he "expects banks will come on board over the next several quarters." For banks, Google does not charge transaction fees for using Android Pay unlike Apple.According to Spinnell, 1 in 3 Canadians who own a smartphone have used their mobile device to pay for something. In addition, 8 of 10 Canadian retailers support NFC technology which creates an ideal environment for companies to expand the use of mobile payments.How do mobile payments work?Mobile payments use a method of wireless data transfer called Near Field Communication (NFC) which allows technologies that are close to each other to communicate without internet connection. The devices must be equipped with an NFC chip for the data transfer to occur, so in this case a mobile device and a point-of-sale (POS) terminal. These digital wallets do not pass on your actual payment card details to the merchant, but rather generate a unique token for each transaction. Once you register your card into the digital wallets, you simply wake your mobile device and tap it onto the POS terminal.

Q: How to Get/Code Single value of data from dataset/database this is example of database

petType         PetName      PetDetails    PetPrice
----------     ------------    --------------   -------------
cat_____kitty_______non______2000.00
dog___chiwa______non_______3000.00
bird___parrow____non_________1000.00

the code i made:
PetStore.aspx
<form id="form1" runat="server">

        <asp:label ID="Label1" runat="server" CssClass="DataWebControlStyle">
           <HeaderStyle CssClass="HeaderStyle" />
           <AlternatingRowStyle CssClass="AlternatingRowStyle" />
        </asp:label>

</form>

PetStore.aspx.cs
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    PetStoreTableAdapter petsAdapter = new PetStoreTableAdapter();
    label1.DataSource = productsAdapter.GetPetData();
    label1.DataBind();
}

So those code i made only display all the data on database... What should i do if i just wanted to display single value like "kitty" not the data of kitty, but only the words "kitty" that i want to display on "label1.text" on my page.. thank you

A: You need to use ExecuteScalar to get a single value. Check the link below. It will return the first column of the first row from the result set.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.data.sqlclient.sqlcommand.executescalar.aspx
Also, check below URL for assigning value from executescalar to label:
http://asp.net-informations.com/data-providers/asp-executescalar.htm
Also, your example is confusing because you have gridview in your example and label1.text in your description. I'm assuming here you will have a label.

A: what the column you have needed specify in the bound field
eg
 <asp:ButtonField HeaderText="PetName "  DataTextField="PetName" Visible="false"  />

and make AutoGenerateColumns="false"
  <asp:GridView ID="GridView1" AutoGenerateColumns="false" runat="server" CssClass="DataWebControlStyle">
         <Columns>
            <asp:ButtonField HeaderText="PetName "  DataTextField="PetName" Visible="false"  />
          </Columns>
           <HeaderStyle CssClass="HeaderStyle" />

           <AlternatingRowStyle CssClass="AlternatingRowStyle" />
        </asp:GridView>

A: If you need the Column values:
public DataSet GetPetDetails()
{
    DataSet ds = new DataSet();
    string connectString = constr.GetConString();
    using( var con = new OleDbConnection(connectString))
    using( var cmd = new OleDbCommand("select * from PetMaster", con))
    {
        con.Open();
        using(var adp = new OleDbDataAdapter(cmd))
        {
            adp.Fill(ds);
        }
    }
    return ds;
}

To Display All Column Values of 'PetName' with Comma Separated:
protected void Bind()
    {
        DataSet ds = new DataSet();
        ds = GetPetDetails();
        if (ds != null)
        {
            foreach (DataTable table in ds.Tables)
            {
                foreach (DataRow dr in table.Rows)
                {
                    label1.text += dr["PetName"].ToString()+",";

                }
            }
        }
    }

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    Bind();
}

Single Column & Single Row Value:(Only the word Kitty)
label1.text=ds.Tables[0].Rows[0]["PetName"].ToString();

Note: Considering to your above mentioned sample data in table. '0' is the Row Number in DataSet & PetName is the Column.
Let me know if any issue yet?
Hope this helps you...! :)

A: For getting only one record from database or one by one record from database,"Data Reader" is Good Approach.Check the site below You can get clear Idea on Data Reader.
http://www.aspdotnet-suresh.com/2012/10/aspnet-difference-between-datareader.html
For example:
  SqlConnection connection=New SqlConnection("your connection string");
    SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand(
      "SELECT  PetName  FROM TableName;",
      connection);
    connection.Open();

    SqlDataReader reader = command.ExecuteReader();

    if (reader.HasRows)
    {
        while (reader.Read())
        {
            Label.Text=reader[0].ToString();
        }
    }
    else
    {
        Console.WriteLine("No rows found.");
    }
    reader.Close();
