We had a fantastic holiday with all the family,Lovely villa Graham the owner was very helpful. Everyone loved having our own pool ,So much fun. Would go back again.
Thank you for your feedback. We are delighted that you enjoyed your family holiday and we hope you will return in the future.
Lækkert hus, flink ejer !
Stor og romslig villa med svømmebasseng og hage. Storfamilien på 18 personer med 8 barn fra 7 mnd. 10 storkoste seg på dette stedet. Jente på 5 år sa: Vi vil bo her! Det er god omtale!
Hunder i nabolaget forstyrret litt, også om natta. Det ene soverommet i underetasjen måtte vi unngå å bruke. Ikke positivt at AC kun varer 2 timer, måtte derfor stå opp flere ganger om natta for å sette på igjen.
Thank you for taking the time to leave your review of Villa SP084. We are very pleased that you enjoyed your stay.
Lovely clean villa with everything you could possibly need. Only 20 mins from the airport and a short drive to the local beach. Would definitely recommend the villa and anyone wanting a nice relaxing trip away.
The owner graham was excellent and made our stay really relaxed - he was already at the villa when we arrived and went out of his way to see that we could have a late check out when our flight was delayed.
The main villa was lovely very clean and spacious, good amentities. the games room was great for keeping the kids entertained in the evening. the only thing I would say is I don't think the basement is suitable for sleeping it's so hot down there and there is no air. I think if this was freshened up and some aircon put in it would be great. also we didn't realise how far from the towns we were. that was our own misjudgement though. I would advise people staying in this villa to definitely hire a car.
Thank you for your review. We have spoken to the owner about the air conditioning in the lower floor apartment and he is now getting this fitted for the next summer season. We are sorry it was uncomfortable for you. Whilst local shops and restaurants are within reach on foot, we do recommend car hire to get to the beach and main resorts. We hope that you would book with us again, despite this.
Thank you for your feedback Jeanette. We are delighted that you were pleased with our service.
We were 14 people and there were still lots of space. It was a great villa and Graham (the owner) Was very nice and did everything to make Our stay as plesent as possible. I Think we will come back some day.
Service rating : Thank you Jess. We look forward to helping you in the future.
Product : Hi Jess, we are delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay and look forward to seeing you again.
Great Villa, everything we could have wished for.
Great Villa, everything you could possible need.
Flexible service, we arrived earlier than expected and still managed to start the holiday off straight away.
I should have hired a car for the running around for shopping etc. as it is uphill away from major supermarkets, but that was down to me misjudging the distance of the location from the town centre and seafront, not the owners.
Overall a great villa meant a great holiday.
Thank you for your feedback Andrew. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay in Villa SP084. I hope we can be of help when it comes to finding your next holiday home!
This is our 2nd visit to this villa and the owner has made several improvements to the property. The villa is very well maintained and suitable for two or three large families with children. We are a group of golfers and the size and location of the property is perfect.
Our stay with our complete family was excellent!! It could not be better!!
The villa was excellent, well presented, lots to do keeping us all occupied. Would recommend to anyone wanting to stay. The Owner very helpful organised rental car and gave us a lot of extra information. Would definitely stay again.
The villa was very clean and outstanding. Great TV's and internet, swimming pool, garden and fitness room.
Fantastic villa for 3 families. We were all happy to stay there.
Excellent villa which matched the requirements of our family with an age span of 3 to 75 years.
A wonderful villa for a big family break. owner very helpful and friendly and everything you need is there. great pool and terraced area. Highly recommended! The only downside was the neighbourhood dogs and their constant barking.
This was a family holiday for 15 people ranging in age from 6 months to 82 years. We were attracted by the facilities offered and were not disappointed. The villa offered outstanding amenities, internally it was both extremely comfortable and spacious and externally not only had the swimming pool but beautifully well kept lawns and BBQ area at the rear of the villa (with a gazebo area for dining) plus lots of games. The separate accommodation downstairs was also used and the only comment was that the family members using this area preferred to use the bathrooms upstairs in the main house. The owner was very helpful and came every three days to clean the pool and he would always tells us when he was due. We would very much recommend this villa and would book to stay there again. However we would say that you do need to hire a car to go to the big local supermarket. We were mainly self catering and it would not have been possible without a car.
The villa was in excellent condition when we arrived and surpassed our expectations throughout our stay. We particularly appreciated the various facilities included in the accommodation, such as an iron and hairdryers. I would recommend this property to absolutely anyone who doesn't mind being located slightly outside of the centre of Fuengirola.
Ideal place for the extended family to chill out for two weeks in a well equipped villa.
The owner was really helpful providing a few grocery items for our late arrival Sunday evening.He also popped in to make sure everything was OK. Would definitely recommend this stunning villa.
Excellent villa. Great location. Exactly as shown in picture... perhaps better!
Just a quick line to say thank you for your service in arranging our recent holiday in villa SP084 in Fuengirola. The villa and location was outstanding and the whole family had a special holiday to remember. I would particularly like to commend Graham for looking after us and the property during our stay. His friendly and attentive manner featured greatly in making the experience so enjoyable. Our thanks to all concerned for such excellent service.

Q: Postman: SyntaxError: Unexpected number in JSON at position 1 at JSON.parse I am a beginner at web development and I am trying to use Postman to send a POST request to one of my application's APIs.
I am using the Next.JS framework to build my website.
Here is my API:
import type { NextApiRequest, NextApiResponse } from "next"

export default async (
    req: NextApiRequest,
    res: NextApiResponse,
) => {

    const userData = JSON.parse(req.body)
    res.status(200).json(userData)
}

I simplified my API until I caught the error, and I believe that it is related to the JSON.parse(req.body) line.
This is a print of the data that I used to test the API on Postman
I get the following error:
SyntaxError: Unexpected number in JSON at position 1
at JSON.parse (\u003canonymous\u003e)
at __WEBPACK_DEFAULT_EXPORT__ (webpack-internal:///(api)/./pages/api/login.ts:9:27)

Previously, I used this API to authenticate users, and everything worked fine, except when I tried to insert data into the body of a Postman POST request.
Can someone help me? I have no idea what to do.

A: If you want to deserialize the body from a POST request, you also have to send a request where the body contains any data because otherwise, req.body will be null and that is not valid json.

City ordinance prohibiting all picketing within 150 feet of a school, except peaceful picketing of any school involved in a labor dispute, found by the Court of Appeals to be unconstitutional because overbroad, held violative of the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment since it makes an impermissible distinction between peaceful labor picketing and other peaceful picketing.
A group of labor union members who engaged in peaceful primary picketing within the confines of a privately owned shopping center were threatened by an agent of the owner with arrest for criminal trespass if they did not depart. The question presented is whether this threat violated the National Labor Relations Act, 49 Stat. 449, as amended, 61 Stat. 136, 29 U. S. C. § 151 et seq. The National Labor Relations Board concluded that it did, 205 N. L. R. B. 628, and the Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit agreed. 501 F. 2d 161. We granted certiorari because of the seemingly important questions of federal law presented. 420 U. S. 971.
At issue in this case is the constitutionality under the First and Fourteenth Amendments of a state statute that generally bars picketing of residences or dwellings, but exempts from its prohibition "the peaceful picketing of a place of employment involved in a labor dispute."
The question in this case is whether the First Amendment, as incorporated by the Fourteenth Amendment, is violated by an order of the Public Service Commission of the State of New York that prohibits the inclusion in monthly electric bills of inserts discussing controversial issues of public policy.
A rule (Rule 6.05) of the Minnesota Agricultural Society (Society), a Minnesota public corporation that operates the annual state fair, provides that sale or distribution of any merchandise, including printed or written material, except from a duly licensed location on the fairgrounds shall be a misdemeanor. As Rule 6.05 is construed and applied by the Society, all persons, groups, or firms desiring to sell, exhibit, or distribute materials during the fair must do so only from fixed locations. However, the Rule does not prevent organizational representatives from walking about the fairgrounds and communicating the organization's views to fair patrons in face-to-face discussions. Space in the fairgrounds is rented in a nondiscriminatory fashion on a first-come, first-served basis, and Rule 6.05 applies alike to nonprofit, charitable, and commercial enterprises. Respondents, International Society for Krishna Consciousness, Inc. (ISKCON), an organization espousing the views of the Krishna religion, and the head of one of its temples filed suit in a Minnesota state court against state officials, seeking declaratory and injunctive relief on the ground that Rule 6.05, on its face and as applied, violated their First Amendment rights. ISKCON asserted that the Rule suppressed the practice of Sankirtan, a religious ritual that enjoins its members to go into public places to distribute or sell religious literature and to solicit donations for the support of the Krishna religion. The trial court upheld the constitutionality of Rule 6.05, but the Minnesota Supreme Court reversed.
Under a collective bargaining agreement between the Board of Education of Perry Township, Ind., and Perry Education Association (PEA) as the exclusive bargaining representative for the School District's teachers, PEA was granted access to the interschool mail system and teacher mailboxes in the Perry Township schools. The bargaining agreement also provided that access rights to the mail facilities were not available to any rival union, such as Perry Local Educators' Association (PLEA). PLEA and two of its members filed suit in Federal District Court against PEA and individual members of the School Board, contending that PEA's preferential access to the internal mail system violated the First Amendment and the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.
Section 28.04 of the Los Angeles Municipal Code prohibits the posting of signs on public property.[1] The question presented *792 is whether that prohibition abridges appellees' freedom of speech within the meaning of the First Amendment.[2]In March 1979, Roland Vincent was a candidate for election to the Los Angeles City Council. A group of his supporters known as Taxpayers for Vincent (Taxpayers) entered into a contract with a political sign service company known as Candidates' Outdoor Graphics Service (COGS) to fabricate and post signs with Vincent's name on them. COGS produced 15- by 44-inch cardboard signs and attached them to utility poles at various locations by draping them over crosswires *793 which support the poles and stapling the cardboard together at the bottom. The signs' message was: "Roland Vincent — City Council."Acting under the authority of § 28.04 of the Municipal Code, employees of the city's Bureau of Street Maintenance routinely removed all posters attached to utility poles and similar objects covered by the ordinance, including the COGS signs. The weekly sign removal report covering the period March 1-March 7, 1979, indicated that among the 1,207 signs removed from public property during that week, 48 were identified as "Roland Vincent" signs. Most of the other signs identified in that report were apparently commercial in character.[3]On March 12, 1979, Taxpayers and COGS filed this action in the United States District Court for the Central District of California, naming the city, the Director of the Bureau of Street Maintenance, and members of the City Council as defendants.[4] They sought an injunction against enforcement of the ordinance as well as compensatory and punitive damages. After engaging in discovery, the parties filed cross-motions for summary judgment on the issue of liability. The District Court entered findings of fact, concluded that the ordinance was constitutional, and granted the City's motion.
The issue in this case is whether a National Park Service regulation prohibiting camping in certain parks violates the First Amendment when applied to prohibit demonstrators from sleeping in Lafayette Park and the Mall in connection with a demonstration intended to call attention to the plight of the homeless. We hold that it does not and reverse the contrary judgment of the Court of Appeals.

This case requires us to decide whether the Federal Government violates the First Amendment when it excludes legal defense and political advocacy organizations from participation in the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC or Campaign), a charity drive aimed at federal employees. The United States District Court for the District of Columbia held that the respondent organizations could not be excluded from the CFC, and the Court of Appeals affirmed. 234 U. S. App. D. C. 148, 727 F. 2d 1247 (1984). We granted certiorari, 469 U. S. 929 (1984), and we now reverse.
This case involves a constitutional challenge to a zoning ordinance, enacted by appellant city of Renton, Washington, that prohibits adult motion picture theaters from locating within 1,000 feet of any residential zone, single- or multiple-family dwelling, church, park, or school. Appellees, Playtime Theatres, Inc., and Sea-First Properties, Inc., filed an action in the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington seeking a declaratory judgment that the Renton ordinance violated the First and Fourteenth Amendments and a permanent injunction against its enforcement. The District Court ruled in favor of Renton and denied the permanent injunction, but the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit reversed and remanded for reconsideration. 748 F. 2d 527 (1984). We noted probable jurisdiction, 471 U. S. 1013 (1985), and now reverse the judgment of the Ninth Circuit.[1]*44 In May 1980, the Mayor of Renton, a city of approximately 32,000 people located just south of Seattle, suggested to the Renton City Council that it consider the advisability of enacting zoning legislation dealing with adult entertainment uses. No such uses existed in the city at that time. Upon the Mayor's suggestion, the City Council referred the matter to the city's Planning and Development Committee. The Committee held public hearings, reviewed the experiences of Seattle and other cities, and received a report from the City Attorney's Office advising as to developments in other cities. The City Council, meanwhile, adopted Resolution No. 2368, which imposed a moratorium on the licensing of "any business. . . which . . . has as its primary purpose the selling, renting or showing of sexually explicit materials." App. 43. The resolution contained a clause explaining that such businesses "would have a severe impact upon surrounding businesses and residences." Id., at 42.
The question presented in this case is whether a state sales tax scheme that taxes general interest magazines, but exempts newspapers and religious, professional, trade, and sports journals, violates the First Amendment's guarantee of freedom of the press.
Three former editors of the Spectrum, a student newspaper run as part of a journalism class and funded by the Board of Educators, sued after the principal removed two articles from the May 1983 issue that described student experiences with pregnancy and divorce. The principal believed that the students interviewed and parents discussed in the articles could be identified and found the discussions of birth control and sexual activity inappropriate for younger students.

During the 1984 Republican National Convention, respondent Gregory Lee Johnson participated in a political demonstration to protest the policies of the Reagan administration and some Dallas-based corporations. After a march through the city streets, Johnson burned an American flag while protesters chanted. No one was physically injured or threatened with injury, although several witnesses were offended by the flag burning. Johnson was convicted of desecration of a venerated object in violation of a Texas statute, and a state court of appeals affirmed. However, the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals reversed, holding that the state, consistent with the First Amendment, could not punish Johnson for burning the flag in these circumstances.
Respondent Rock Against Racism (RAR), furnishing its own sound equipment and technicians, has sponsored yearly programs of rock music at the Naumberg Acoustic Bandshell in New York City's Central Park. The city received numerous complaints about excessive noise at RAR's concerts. Rejecting various other solutions to the excessive noise and inadequate amplification problems, the city adopted a Use Guideline for the bandshell which specified that the city would furnish high quality sound equipment and retain an independent, experienced sound technician for all performances. After the city implemented this guideline, RAR amended a preexisting District Court complaint against the city to seek damages and a declaratory judgment striking down the guideline as facially invalid under the First Amendment.
Arkansas' Gross Receipts Act imposed a sales tax on dozens of services, including the provision of cable television. The Act, however, exempted from taxation receipts from newspaper and magazine sales. The cable television industry in Arkansas brought suit challenging the Act, arguing that Arkansas could not constitutionally tax cable television when it was not taxing the print media. The trial court rejected this argument. While the case was on appeal, Arkansas amended the Act to tax all television and radio services. The Arkansas Supreme Court upheld the trial court's decision, stating that the First Amendment does not prohibit different taxation of different members of the media. The Arkansas Supreme Court, however, also held that the First Amendment does prohibit differential taxation among member of the same medium and therefore found that the Act was unconstitutional to the extent that it, before the amendment, taxed cable television differently from satellite television services. Differential taxation of speakers and publishers is constitutionally suspect when it threatens to suppress the expression of particular ideas or viewpoints. A tax also is suspect if it targets a small group of speakers. Moreover, a tax triggers heightened scrutiny if it discriminates among speakers based on the content of their speech.Arkansas Writers' Project, Inc. v. Ragland, 481 U.S. 221 (1987); Minneapolis Star & Tribune Co. v. Minnesota Comm'r of Revenue, 460 U.S. 575 (1983); Grosjean v. American Press Co., 297 U.S. 233 (1936).
In 1977, New York passed legislation commonly known as the "Son of Sam" law, which required any entity contracting with an accused or convicted criminal for the production of a work describing the crime to turn over to the state's Crime Victims Board any income earned under that contract. The Board then made payments from that fund for legal and literary representation, compensation to victims, and payments to other creditors. In 1986, the Board became aware of a contract between publisher Simon & Schuster and organized crime figure Henry Hill for a book entitled Wiseguy. After the Board sought to enforce the Son of Sam law against Simon & Schuster, the publisher brought suit seeking a ruling that the legislation violated the First Amendment. The trial court and Second Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the statute. A statute is presumed to violate the First Amendment if it imposes a financial burden on speakers because of the content of their speech. Leathers v. Medlock, 499 U.S. 439 (1991). Such a statute can be upheld only if it is necessary to serve a compelling state interest and is narrowly tailored to achieve that interest. Arkansas Writers' Project, Inc. v. Ragland, 481 U.S. 221 (1987).
In mid-1990, a white juvenile in St. Paul was arrested for burning a cross inside the fenced yard of a black family. The juvenile was charged with violating St. Paul's Bias-Motivated Crime Ordinance, which prohibited the placement of any symbol on public or private property that aroused anger in others on the basis of race, color, creed, religion, or gender. The juvenile moved to dismiss this charge, claiming that it was overbroad and impermissibly content-based under the First Amendment. The trial court granted this motion. The Minnesota Supreme Court reversed, holding that the ordinance prohibited only "fighting words," which, since the United States Supreme Court's decision in Chaplinsky v. New Hampshire (1942), had been deemed unworthy of any First Amendment protection.
The Discovery Network sought to distribute commercial flyers from newspaper racks on city-owned property. Cincinnati had a policy against allowing commercial distribution for reasons of safety and aesthetics.
The school district of Center Moriches, New York, adopted rules that permitted its facilities to be used for social, civic, and recreational purposes, but that prohibited any group from using the facilities for religious purposes. Lamb's Chapel, an evangelical church, applied for permission to show a six-part film series in one of the buildings. The series presented a religious perspective on family issues and child rearing. The school district denied the application, relying on the prohibition against using the facilities for religious purposes. Lamb's Chapel sued in federal court, but both the trial court and the Second Circuit Court of Appeals found in favor of the school district. A government is not obligated to make its non-public facilities available for use by the general public. Even when it does so, it may limit the purposes for which the facilities may be used. The government may not, however, deny access to the facilities based upon the viewpoint of the person who seeks access to them.Cornelius v. NAACP Legal Defense and Ed. Fund, 473 U.S. 788 (1985). A government may deny access to a religious group if allowing access would violate the First Amendment's prohibition against establishing a religion. One test for evaluating whether the Establishment Clause is being violated is set forth in Lemon v. Kurtzman, 403 U.S. 602 (1971) — whether the challenged governmental action has a secular purpose, whether the action has the principal effect of advancing or inhibiting religion, and whether it fosters an excessive entanglement with religion. While never quite repudiated, this test has proven unpopular with many members of the Court.
Since 1947, the city of Boston has authorized the Council, a private group, to organize the city's St. Patrick's Day parade. The Council did not admit GLIB to the 1993 parade claiming such an admission would violate the parade's "traditional religious and social values." Massachusetts courts required the Council to admit GLIB based on a state public-accommodation law.
The University of Virginia, a public university, used public money to subsidize publishing costs for nonreligious student groups. The university denied funds to a Christian student group that requested financial assistance to publish a newspaper that would "challenge Christians to live, in word and deed, according to the faith they proclaim and to encourage students to consider what a personal relationship with Jesus Christ means."
Congress in 1992 passed the Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act, which required, among other things, that cable television systems carry local broadcast stations. Several cable operators filed suit, claiming that the legislation violated the freedoms of speech and of the press guaranteed by the First Amendment. In 1993, the district court held that the "must-carry" provisions of the Act were constitutional. On direct appeal, the Supreme Court, in Turner Broadcasting System v. Federal Communications Comm., 114 S. Ct. 2445 (1994), held that the "must-carry" provisions constituted a content-neutral regulation and could be constitutional. The Court then ordered the district court to determine whether the government could demonstrate that the provisions reasonably advanced an important governmental interest. On remand, a divided district court held that Congress had before it "substantial evidence" from which to conclude that the must-carry provisions were necessary to protect the local broadcast industry. When examining content-neutral regulations, courts apply an "intermediate" level of scrutiny. Under this analysis, legislation that affects speech but that does not favor the message of one speaker over another can be constitutional if the legislation (1) furthers an important governmental interest and (2) does not burden more speech than necessary to advance that interest. United States v. O'Brien, 391 U.S. 367 (1968).
In 1990, Congress amended the statute governing the National Endowment for the Arts to require that the NEA chairperson consider "general standards of respect and decency for the diverse beliefs and values of the American public" when awarding art grants. Four artists—Karen Finley, John Fleck, Holly Hughes and Tim Miller, known collectively as the "NEA 4"—sued in federal court, claiming the so-called "decency clause" violated the First Amendment and forced artists to engage in self-censorship in order to obtain NEA funding. The trial judge ruled in favor of the "NEA 4," ruling that the decency clause was both unconstitutionally vague and overbroad. On appeal, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit affirmed for "essentially the same reasons as the district court." The 9th Circuit determined the decency clause was void for vagueness and for violating the First Amendment's general prohibition against content- and viewpoint-based discrimination. A bedrock principle of the First Amendment is that government may not prohibit speech just because it finds the speech offensive or disagreeable. Texas v. Johnson, 491 U.S. 397 (1989). Sexual expression which is indecent but not obscene is also protected by the First Amendment. Sable Communications of Cal., Inc. v. Sable, 492 U.S. 115 (1989). The First Amendment protects against viewpoint discrimination above other forms of content discrimination. Rosenberger v. Rector and Visitors of Univ. of Va., 515 U.S. 819 (1995). When the government promotes a particular program and defines the limit of a program, it can fund speech that promotes its goals, even to the detriment of other goals. Rust v. Sullivan, 500 U.S. 173 (1991). "There is a basic difference between direct state interference with a protected activity and state encouragement of an alternative activity consonant with legislative policy." Maher v. Roe, 432 U.S. 464 (1977).
The University of Wisconsin, Madison required students to pay an activity fee that supported "various campus services and extracurricular student activities," including diverse ideological and political expression. Three University of Wisconsin law students challenged the fee system in 1996 as unconstitutional. The three Christian students contended that by funneling their money to groups they morally oppose, the university violates their freedom of speech and religious liberty. Both a federal district court and a federal appeals court ruled that the fee system violated the students' free speech rights.
In 1994, the Erie City Council enacted a public indecency ordinance that purports to criminalize public nudity. However, statements by several council members indicate the real intent of the law was to target nude dancing at adult entertainment businesses. PAP's A.M., the owner of an adult business called Kandyland, challenged the law in state court under the First Amendment and the free-speech provision of the Pennsylvania Constitution. After a trial judge granted a permanent injunction against the ordinance, the city appealed. In 1996, the intermediate state appeals court, called the Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania, reversed, finding the law constitutional based on the U.S. Supreme Court case Barnes v. Glen Theatre, Inc., which upheld a similar Indiana public indecency law. In 1998, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court reversed the Commonwealth Court, finding the law unconstitutional. The state supreme court said that it could find "no clear precedent" from the fragmented Barnes decision. The city contends the state supreme court erred in failing to apply the result of Barnes. Nude dancing is a form of expressive conduct that merits at least some degree of First Amendment protection. Barnes v. Glen Theatre, Inc.,501 U.S. 560 (1991). Laws that are not designed to suppress freedom of expression but to target harmful secondary effects associated with certain expression are to be considered content-neutral for purposes of First Amendment review. Young v. American Mini Theatres, Inc., 427 U.S. 50 (1976); Renton v. Playtime Theatres, Inc., 475 U.S. 41 (1986).
Section 505 of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 requires cable television operators to "fully scramble or otherwise fully block the video and audio portion" of channels that provide primarily "sexually explicit adult programming." The act provides that cable operators can comply with _ 505 by showing the "indecent" or "sexually explicit adult programming" only during so-called safe-harbor hours, 10 p.m. to 6 a.m., when children are not likely to view the programming. In 1996, Playboy Entertainment Group filed suit in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware seeking to prohibit the enforcement of Section 505. After the three-judge panel denied Playboy's motion for a preliminary injunction, the U.S. Supreme Court in 1997 refused to review the denial of the preliminary injunction. On Dec. 28, 1998, the district court ruled that _ 505 violated the First Amendment. The court ruled the law was content-based because it restricted only sexually explicit adult programming. The government appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court. Indecent speech, unlike obscene speech, is entitled to First Amendment protection. Government officials cannot suppress the free-speech rights of adults in order to protect minors from objectionable material unless the law is very narrowly drafted. Content-based laws are presumptively unconstitutional and the government bears the burden of showing that the law advances a compelling state interest in the least restrictive way.
At issue is the constitutionality of a 1993 Colorado statute that regulates speech-related conduct within 100 feet of the entrance to any health care facility. The specific section of the statute that is challenged, Colo. Rev. Stat. § 18-9—122(3) (1999), makes it unlawful within the regulated areas for any person to "knowingly approach" within eight feet of another person, without that person's consent, "for the purpose of passing a leaflet or handbill to, displaying a sign to, or engaging in oral protest, education, or counseling with such other person . . . ."[1] Although the statute prohibits speakers from *708 approaching unwilling listeners, it does not require a standing speaker to move away from anyone passing by. Nor does it place any restriction on the content of any message that anyone may wish to communicate to anyone else, either inside or outside the regulated areas. It does, however, make it more difficult to give unwanted advice, particularly in the form of a handbill or leaflet, to persons entering or leaving medical facilities.

It is a federal crime to "knowingly provid[e] material support or resources to a foreign terrorist organization." 18 U. S. C. §2339B(a)(1). The authority to designate an entity a "foreign terrorist organization" rests with the Secretary of State, and is subject to judicial review. Among the entities the Secretary of State has designated "foreign terrorist organization[s]" are the Partiya Karkeran Kurdistan (PKK) and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), which aim to establish independent states for, respectively, Kurds in Turkey and Tamils in Sri Lanka. Although both groups engage in political and humanitarian activities, each has also committed numerous terrorist attacks, some of which have harmed American citizens. Claiming they wish to support those groups' lawful, nonviolent activities, two U. S. citizens and six domestic organizations (hereinafter plaintiffs) initiated this constitutional challenge to the material-support statute. Plaintiffs challenge §2339B's prohibition on providing four types of material support—"training," "expert advice or assistance," "service," and "personnel"—asserting violations of the Fifth Amendment's Due Process Clause on the ground that the statutory terms are impermissibly vague, and violations of their First Amendment rights to freedom of speech and association.

REED v. TOWN OF GILBERT (2015)
A local church without a permanent location often advertised its temporary meeting locations. The church's signs were subject to a set of provisions in the local code that differed from others because of the sign's purpose as a temporary sign. The church was notified that it had violated the sign provisions and subsequently sued the town.


I slept really well at L'Abri d'Arlos, but not enough. Breakfast was a really trying affair. Especially as it was happening a good 2 hours too soon. All I wanted was my bed - but I had to be on the bike by 9am, ready to start the climb up the col de Mente, and later ride the steepest climb of the official Raid Pyrenean - col de Portet d'Aspet. I just ate my food in silence, while trying to find in my mind the motivation to ride. The sun was already up and the weather was warming up. Why couldn't we have just stayed at the Centre de Vacances and had a leisurely day.
We hit the road at just after 9am. About a mile down the road we did a right hand turn and were immediately at the foot of the col de Mente.
The first kilometre was quite steep - about 11% - not really want you want when your legs aren't warmed up. My back was still aching from my exertions of the first day of the trip. The climb soon levelled off, and became easier to ride at around 7%. I still wanted to take things easily though. Stan, feeling that he hadn't really been challenged on any of the climbs during the cycling tour, had decided to take some of my load. He was now carrying about 15kg, where I had 9kg to carry. But he was still able to dance up the slopes while I plodded heavily along.
The ride up the col de Mente was pleasant, as it was through a wooded section. The summit was quite picturesque. It formed the crossroads of a few cols - notably the col d'Artigascou.
So many cyclists congregated at the forested picnic site area. As well as a cafe, there were some mini kennels, keeping mountain dogs. They looked like huskies but I think conditions would have been too hot for them.
We also bumped into other cyclists that we had seen on the other cols. One guy that we'd met on the Tourmalet was unfortunately unable to continue his ride up the cols as he had broken his crank. It's not just your body that suffers on these climbs !
Stan and I pressed on down the hill. I was now in better spirits, but still felt a certain anxiety about going up the Portet d'Aspet.
At the bottom of the descent we did a right turn and suddenly we were on the climb. And didn't I know it !
Straight into a 12% gradient. I heaved my way up in the most unelegant way I could find. I really wanted to do all of this without the having the nightmare I'd had on the col de Marie-Blanque. At the first corner I stopped and had a breather - an apt place to stop as it was also the site of the Fabio Casartelli memomorial.
I stopped to get my breath back and also to take a few photos of this beautiful memorial before continuing up to the summit. This climb was very short - just 4km, but it was very steep - Stan got a reading of 21% on a couple of sections. It was a real quad-buster. The only saving grace was that the climb was in the shade. Fortunately I had gotten used to getting out of the saddle on my pannier-laden bike so it wasn't quite as excruciating as riding up the col de Marie-Blanque.
Once at the summit I wanted to celebrate the fact that I'd got the horribly tough climbs out of the way. I celebrated with a cup of Ice Tea. The local riders (who we'd also spotted on the Tourmalet) told us how it had been just 5 degrees celsius the previous week, and there had been light snow ! We'd definitely been lucky.
We then took the descent towards St Girons. The run-in to St Girons was a demoralising road - a head wind that consisted of very warm air, along a straight boring road. At St Girons Stan got his bike checked as his wheel rim was dented. After assurances from the mechanic that he'd been fine, we then made our way to Massat.
Funnily enough the Londoners we'd met were stayining in the same town as us - just a mile up the road at the Hosterllerie des Trois Seigneurs. We ended up having dinner there as all the restaurants in the village were closed.
The nice lady at Les Trois Seigneurs had opened up her restaurant specially to accommodate us. I was glad she did so as the meal was absolutely delicious. Marie Angela, the proprietor had won various awards for her cuisine, and she took alot of pride in the service she provided us. She was so pleased to have had our company that she gave us a bottle of wine and a jar of honey.
We'd had a great day of a good bike ride, good wine, good company, and for the first time I went to bed without feeling completely KO'd. I was looking forward to the following day.

No, this is not a diabetic super food. A couple of days ago I posted a blog that stated that Neil Young is diabetic. I was made aware by comments on that blog that I was misinformed. I was mistaken with that claim. Blame my blind trust in the internet, blame my excitement to have a tie with Neil or blame the internet for lying to me. It was not easy writing this blog, but I felt compelled to address the issue.
I could have lied and said it was an early April Fool's Day joke, I could have also lied and told you that I was friends with a guy named Neil Young who is diabetic and plays in a Neil Young cover band but that would not be honest. Yes, the theme of this blog is diabetes but honesty is also a theme. I use my honesty to speak to all of you who are affected by this disease or just want to know more about it.
I thought I did enough research by looking at a number of sites that supported this claim but they are either in on the deception or they have been deceived as well. I should be clear, I am a huge fan of Neil's music and as a music fan I do not concern myself with their personal lives. I am not a fan of gossip and tabloids so I enjoy the entertainment.
There are many celebrities who live with this disease and my hope is to be able to interview some of them so they can share their stories. I have been told that my blog is too personal, that I am putting too much out there. Perhaps that is true but it is with the intention of helping others and helping myself by writing out my thoughts. This blog will always have a personal touch and will also be informational. I am sorry that my blog contained bad information. I have removed the blog and I promise to research better for future articles.

Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel Taps Community Leaders To Help With 2020 Census

Mayor Rahm Emanuel, shown here in 2018, launched a new committee this week to ensure that the city's "hard-to-count" areas will not be missed in next year's census.
With less than a year left before census 2020 mailers are sent out, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel announced this week the creation of a Complete Count Committee to ensure that residents from the city's "hard-to-count" communities are included in the decennial head count. The committee meets for the first time on Friday at City Hall.
While experts have said Illinois is behind on census prep — the state has yet to secure substantial funding for outreach efforts — an official with the U.S. Census Bureau says that the region is on target.
"With some of the turnover across the United states in terms of the governor's offices, the mayor's offices, I think that what we're seeing in Illinois is pretty typical of what's going on across the country," said Ellisa Johnson, assistant regional census manager for the Chicago Region, an area that includes Illinois, Indiana, Iowa and even Arkansas.
Johnson said that on April 1, which marked exactly one year before the 2020 census, many cities in the region, including Milwaukee and St. Paul, Minn., announced their complete count committees.
Budget constraints have meant fewer boots on the ground working with governmental units early in the preparation phase, and slower delivery of census literature and training materials, Johnson said. But "now we're on task."
Johnson, who was part of Cook County's census outreach efforts in 2010, added that the creation of these complete count committees is crucial to ensure an accurate census next year.
"We know here in the Chicago region that that structure works," she said. "We've seen the participation rates increase in 2010 from the 2000 census, and a lot of that is really attributed to the work of those complete count committees."
The most effective complete count groups, Johnson added, have numerous subcommittees focused on digital efforts and millennial outreach, for example, and even a recruiting arm that helps the bureau hire workers.
A City Hall spokesman said in an email statement that Chicago's committee will address those issues, as well as outreach to specific communities like veterans, racial minorities, infants, individuals returning home from prison, individuals with disabilities, refugees and homeless populations. He added that the committee will grow in number over the course of the year and also partner with city departments and agencies such as schools, libraries, the Chicago Housing Authority and the City Clerk's Office.
Committee member Griselda Vega Samuel, who also sits on the Illinois Complete Count Commission, said she was invited to join the city's group last week.
"Now is better than six months from now, which is the alternative had they waited until the new mayor came into place," said Vega Samuel, an attorney for the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund. She said MALDEF began its census outreach work in January 2018.
Vega Samuel and 26 other committee members from diverse civic, cultural and community organizations will recommend strategies to reach "hard-to-count" residents over the next year.
"Every level of our government has been engaged in conversations [about the census]. It just seems like momentum is building," said committee co-chair Rebecca Shi, executive director at the Illinois Business Immigration Coalition.
Shi said her group, which is a coalition of employers, business associations and entrepreneurs, will aim to reach residents through business owners telling employees and customers about the census. She hopes businesses will also become "hotspots," where census outreach workers can help residents fill out their questionnaires.
Victor Dickson, who leads Safer Foundation, a nonprofit that helps people with criminal records find employment, also sits on the committee. He said he hopes the work of the committee will help residents with arrest and conviction records understand the importance of being counted.
"Federal funding flows to the state for workforce development, for apprenticeship programs, for training programs," Dickson said. "We've got to help people understand the importance of being part of the census and being counted."
Johnson, of the Chicago regional office, said that while outreach and messaging are important, the census bureau's priority at this point is hiring enough census workers in the coming months. She said she hopes that the competitive pay and flexible hours will help recruit "trusted voices" to help the head count, especially in communities where the participation rate has been low.
Chicago's census participation rate, historically, has lagged behind the state's. In 2010, the city had a participation rate of 66 percent, which means that 34 percent of households did not mail back their 2010 census questionnaires. The state's participation rate that year was 76 percent. The community areas in Chicago with the most census tracts with participation rates below 50 percent in 2010 were North Lawndale, South Lawndale, Englewood and New City.
Coordination and planning are vital in census prep work. The area with the lowest census participation rate in the state in 2010 was a South Side census tract where the Harold Ickes public housing development once stood. The participation rate there was just 22 percent in the 2010 census, which was conducted as the Chicago Housing Authority was in the process of demolishing the 11 nine-story high-rises on the site.

US Supreme Court Classifies Tomatoes as Vegetables, Not Fruit
To most of us, a fruit is a sweet plant part eaten as a dessert or snack, but to a botanist, a fruit is a mature ovary of a plant. All species of flowering plants produce fruits that contain seeds. A vegetable, on the other hand, is simply part of a plant that is grown primarily for food. The tomato—one of the newer additions to world cuisine—can be said to meet both criteria but is technically a fruit. Why was the Supreme Court tasked with classifying the tomato in the first place?
Editing is a key part of the filmmaking process, as it involves cutting together different shots and scenes to form a cohesive narrative. The classical style of Hollywood cinema relies heavily on continuity editing, a style of editing that emphasizes smooth transitions in time and space in order to advance the plot in a logical, unobtrusive way. A number of techniques are typically used to achieve this, including match on action, eyeline match, and the 180° rule. What are some others?
Gustav Stresemann
A German statesman, Stresemann entered the Reichstag in 1907 as a deputy of the National Liberal party. During World War I, he supported the monarchy and an annexationist policy, but after the proclamation of a German republic in 1918, he founded the conservative German People's party and turned to a conciliatory policy. As chancellor and foreign minister of the Weimar Republic from 1923, he worked to reconcile former enemy nations to Germany. With whom did he share the 1926 Nobel Peace Prize?

In line with the Sêr Cymru programme's ambition to attract world leading researchers to Wales, this £6.5m programme will fund two new research centres in the newly established Nuclear Futures Institute. These will be led by distinguished and internationally renowned research leaders specialising in two key areas for the nuclear sector. Prof. Bill Lee joins from Imperial College London, brings a wealth of expertise in Materials Sciences and in particular its application in extreme environments such as in nuclear reactor technologies and aerospace. The second area of expertise is in sensitivity analysis and predictive modelling of complex systems to address challenges such as those found in the nuclear sector and environmental systems. The University is in advanced discussions to secure one of the world's foremost specialists in this area with experience of leading research groups across the world in academic and industrial arenas.
The Sêr Cymru programme will also enable the University to build teams around the Sêr Cymru stars and establish Bangor University as a new centre of excellence in the UK.
This investment is already playing a key role in attracting long term private sector strategic investment and high-value jobs in the nuclear sector to North Wales, and also supports the development of Bangor University's low carbon energy science park, M-SParc Ltd by helping to attract supply chain companies within the nuclear industry.
"As new nuclear technologies are introduced to the UK and elsewhere in the world, significant research effort is required to understand and ensure the optimal design and deployment of those new technologies.
The launch of the Nuclear Futures Institute comes shortly after the UK Government announcement that Bangor University has been chosen to lead a Science and Innovation Audit of the North West Nuclear Arc Consortium and follows on from last year's launch of the Boiling Water Reactor Research Hub and Network. This is a joint venture with Imperial College, London, with support from Hitachi-GE Nuclear and the Welsh Government.
In addition, a wider network of relationships with key public and private sector groups are being developed and has already led to Memoranda of Understanding being signed with Horizon Nuclear Power, Hitachi-GE Nuclear Energy, Imperial College London and further supply-chain collaborations are in development. The University and its partners are committed to working closely together in future years to bring lasting local benefits in research, innovation and job creation.
The Nuclear Futures Institute is an important element within the overall body of energy related research activity at Bangor University, and will ultimately be located within the proposed new Science and Technology Quarter, which forms a central part of Bangor University's Estates Strategy in the city.
