Quick verdict
As a day one device the new Apple TV feels a bit half-baked, especially in light of the strengthening competition. And as it's taken a couple of years for a refresh to appear, so we feel Apple should be a step ahead of the game.
Read full verdict
Apps and games aplenty
Bluetooth game controller support
Siri universal search
No 4K support
No iPhone app
No Bluetooth keyboard support
App discovery could be better
Siri search doesn't work for music
(Pocket-lint) - The future of TV is here. Well, that is the supposed promise from Apple. But with 4K competitors such as the Amazon Fire TV upping the resolution stakes and Apple sticking to its Full HD guns, can the Apple way compete?
Actually, for the most part, the new and improved Apple TV for 2015 delivers. But is the future of television really about shopping apps or tracking a flight? We've been watching, playing, and even shopping to find out whether the upgrade or first-time purchase of the new Apple TV is worth it.
Apple TV (2015) review: Hardware & performance
The new Apple TV has new hardware, new looks, new processors, new connectivity options, and even new software. It's all very new, and about time the original box saw an update.
On the hardware front, it has been beefed up to be able to now run games, while adding a visually-enticing interface, and Siri is now available so you can talk to your TV (as long as you press the button on the new remote first).
As previously, the actual Apple TV is a boring black box that, we suspect, will sit out of sight. The remote is now connected via Bluetooth, which makes things a little easier as it doesn't require line of sight, and it means you can effectively forget about the main unit.
The design has changed ever so slightly compared to the original: the new Apple TV box taller (about double the height), and while the keen eye will notice the difference, it is not a radical overhaul worth spending any time on.
Inside, there is a processor that has enough muscle to do what it needs to do. Most apps load quickly, and while bigger games do take some more time, but we've yet to see any jitters or issues running of apps.
Like iOS you get an app tray to switch between apps quickly. Watch a movie, play a game, do some shopping. It's all accessed from the home page.
In terms of Wi-Fi, it's the faster 802.11ac format, so it should have no trouble at streaming content wirelessly - we've not had any problems - or if you're worried about that then you can use the Ethernet port on the rear for a direct connection.
New Apple TV review: Remote & Siri control
Completely overhauled, the new remote is bigger than before, features a touchpad at the top for navigating around Apple TV's interface, and has a series of buttons for quick access to certain tasks. The remote also includes an accelerometer and gyroscope, so it can be used a bit like the Wii Remote motion controller from Nintendo, as and when needed for games like Beats Sports.
If you're worried about losing grip of the remote while swinging it around playing games, you can get an optional extra called the Apple Remote loop - which plugs into and subsequently locks into the Lightning port at the bottom of the remote so you can wear around your wrist. Health and Safety and all that jazz.
For those keen to have one remote to rule them all, you can now use the Siri remote to turn on your TV and control your volume. Yes, even if you've got a separate speaker system like a Sonos Playbar, for example, it can all run via the Apple remote.
But the biggest feature - aside from that mini trackpad that is used to navigate around the Apple TV interface - is the addition of a Siri button, allowing you to simply press like a walkie-talkie and talk to Apple TV from your sofa without having to shout across the room like you do with the Xbox One.
Commands are limited, and currently only focus on searching for movie and TV show requests for Universal search (iTunes and Netflix), controlling playback, and opening Apps. There's no support for Apple Music (coming soon supposedly), or in-app search in the same way Siri works on the iPhone or iPad. Which is a shame, as it could be even better.
The Siri playback controls are really clever though. Commands like "what did he say?" rewinds the movie back 30-seconds and then overlays subtitles for the bit you missed.
On the search front you can ask a number of search queries like "movies staring Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks" to ensure you get to watch Joe vs the Volcano. Ask for Bond movies and you'll get a list of titles available - or you can take things further by requesting only the "Daniel Craig" ones and the results filter and show up whether it's available on iTunes, Netflix, or both. Kind of like Amazon Fire TV, albeit with fewer resources to pool from.
Apple TV review: Apps, apps, apps
The new Apple TV is all about apps. Out of the box, the Apple TV looks incredibly bare, though, with only Apple apps installed at that start. So you'll be heading to get other apps pronto.
But while the potential here is massive, the selection at the moment is a bit meagre. It's early days for the new TVOS, so that's understandable. Check out our best Apple TV apps and Best Apple TV games features for some suggestions.
READ: Best Apple TV apps available now
In the UK there are plenty of entertainment apps to get you started like Now TV, Sky News, Netflix and YouTube, but a number of key entertainment apps are missing. There's currently no BBC iPlayer (it's promised), no Channel 4, Demand 5, ITV Player, and no Amazon Prime.
In the US the picture is slightly better. You can get CBS, Showtime, WatchABC, Fox Now, Hulu, USA Now, CNN Go, HBO Now, WatchESPN on-demand services, meaning all the major services are covered. However, Amazon Prime is still the notable service missing here (it's also missing from Roku).
Forget about TV, and the Apple TV is happy to show its app credentials elsewhere. There are already shopping apps (Gilt), cooking apps (Yummly), home renovation apps (houzz), exercise apps (zova), and even karaoke apps (Sing! Karaoke). Make no mistake, apps is where the Apple TV is going to shine. Apps worked their magic for the iPhone and the iPad, and they will do the same here - if that's what you're after.
2015 Apple TV review: A games console?
If apps aren't trying to let you plan how your bedroom looks in your next house or give you those six minute abs, then they are about giving you games to play. Apple TV is already inundated with re-workings or ports of popular iOS games, and that's before developers have really got to grips with what the set-top box can do.
There are some gems, although most could be categorised as casual and repetitive rather than in-depth like you'll find on the PS4 or Xbox One.
So far we've enjoyed multiplayer Crossy Road, Shadowmatic, Lumino City, Alto's Adventure, and Geometry Wars. Most are available as a universal purchase, so worth checking if you've got them already, although some like Beats Sports or Does Not Commute cost extra on Apple TV.
While all games support the Apple TV remote, you'll get a lot more out of it with a Bluetooth game controller. There are plenty on the market, however we've been playing with the Mad Catz C.T.R.L, considered one of the best available and it really makes a huge difference to the gameplay experience, as well as allowing you to play two-player games in some instances.
It's fair to say that the Apple TV is no Xbox One, playing games on this device is a lot more accessible. We've already found ourselves losing 10 minutes playing Alto's Adventure while waiting for a movie to start on "real" TV.
What we especially like is iCloud support, meaning progress gained on the Apple TV can be carried over to your iPhone or iPad and vice versa.
Apple TV (2015) review: No 4K
As you might have noticed, we've spent a lot of time focusing on what Apple TV can do, and that's not 4K Ultra-HD. Although there's not a lot of 4K content in the world at the moment, that decision does immediately put the new Apple TV behind the competition. It's as much as a shock to us as it is to you, and while we understand that the world of 4K is still in its infancy, the lack of 4K support here is puzzling. Especially for a dedicated TV set-tip box.
Naysayers will say it is no biggie. They'll say that there's still only a handful of 4K movies available, that you'll need a 15MB line to streamline content, and that most don't have a 4K screen anyway. This is a device for the lowest common denominator.
That argument would have worked earlier in the year, but as we head into Christmas 2015, the landscape is changing fast: the Amazon Fire TV now supports and offers 4K content, Sky TV is expected to launch a 4K service in the coming weeks, and the mere fact it is not present, even as an option, makes Apple look somewhat left behind.
From a technical standpoint the use of HDMI 1.4 does mean the Apple TV could support 4K content, but only up to 30 frames per second (which is fine for movie playback at 24fps). However, it lacks HDMI 2.0, so there's no 60fps support, nor compatibility with HDMI 2.0a upgrade for HDR content (which Amazon is already beginning to deliver compatible content).
The bottom line is that if you are looking for a 4K content offering for your TV, the Apple TV isn't the box to do it. It's a more casual approach, with a focus on apps and games at the usual Full HD (1920 x 1080) resolution.
There's no accompanying remote for your iPhone (like there used to be), key apps are currently missing in the UK (BBC, Channel 4, ITV, Demand on 5), there's no Siri for Apple Music or universal search beyond iTunes and Netflix, and app discovery is pretty basic to say the least. On the hardware front there's no 4K support, and if we're being picky no Bluetooth keyboard support either - so inputting passwords is slow and tedious.
However, most of these complaints are all fixable (4K with HDMI 1.4 hardware limitations, though, if any support ever crops up in the future), and probably will be fixed in the near future as Apple gets its act into gear. Still, you can buy the Apple TV right now, so it should have hit the ground running. Right now it doesn't deliver on its promise of being the future of TV.
What it does deliver on, however, is the app experience. We've been asking for apps since the launch of the original device, and now we've got them we can see the benefit. There is no doubting that this is the best Apple TV to date, but the use of "TV" is almost a distraction to the device's main focus. Over time it will become better, with a wider library of content and apps - but until that day the experience just isn't quite as enjoyable as we would have liked or expected.

With plans for the perfect holiday before selling the family vacation home, nitpicky Celia's chaos-loving sons make her goal more than a challenge.
This movie is not available in your country? Here's a solution: Blockless.


So I took the graphite penciles out of retirement and drew this little drawing of Honey. Drawn on Bristol Board 16cm x 13cm with Faber Castell 9000 with Polychromos on the eyes. Thanks to P Lane for the use of the original photograph.
I have started a new drawing, but there really isn't much to show yet, so I am reposting one of my favourite drawings. Originally the title for this drawing was 'I Said I Wanted Chicken!' The cat's name is 'Blink' and I think I shall, at some stage, be redrawing, but with coloured pencils and not graphite, as used here.
This is my drawing of Justin Timberlake following the post from DrPencil (@RickForTson) on Twitter who asked artists to draw the picture so that he could compare their interpretations.
The second drawing of my son is finished! I used Faber Castell 9000's 5H, 2B, 5B & 8B.
Just a little update – the hair is almost finished and then onto the tricky bits – nose and mouth!!
Here is the start of another drawing of my son when he was about 6 years old. Just using the 3 grades of Faber Castell 9000 pencils – 5H, 2B and 5B.

Стрептобацильо́з (, рідше — ), (назви клінічної форми за епідемічного перебігу хвороби —  — гейврільська гарячка, епідемічна артритична еритема, які іноді невиправдано використовують для означення всієї хвороби) — гостра інфекційна хвороба з групи зоонозів з контактним механізмом передачі збудника, найчастіше шляхом укусу пацюків, яка характеризується гарячкою, інтоксикацією, висипом і поліартритом. Хвороба входить до групи гарячок від укусу пацюків.

Історичні відомості та актуальність
Вважають, що стрептобацильоз у людини вперше був описаний у 1836 році в США. Збудник тоді виділений не був. У 1914 році відомий німецький бактеріолог Гуго Шоттмюллер виділив збудника від хворої людини. Дуже вибуховий спалах цієї хвороби був детально описаний у 1926 році в м. Гейврілл, (округ Ессекс, штат Массачусетс, США), захворіло протягом одного місяця 86 осіб. Тоді ж епідемічна форма отримала свою назву — гейврільська гарячка. Відома й велика епідемія раніше, у 1925 року у м. Честері (штат Пенсільванія, США), коли захворіло 400 людей. Тоді причина хвороби не була з'ясована, але після гейврільського спалаху ретроспективно було визначено, що честерська епідемія є також стрептобацильозом. Адже при спалаху в Гейвріллі 1926 року було підтверджено, що хворобу спричинив Streptobacillus moniliformis. У 1983 році у Великій Британії була описана у школі-інтернаті в Чемсфорді, графство Ессекс ще одна велика епідемія хвороби — захворіло 208 учнів. В усіх епідеміях захворювання відбулося через зараження молока. Взагалі захворюваність на стрептобацильоз на сьогодні в світі є спорадичною. Випадки цієї хвороби описані також в Україні.

Етіологія
Збудник Streptobacillus moniliformis — поліморфна грамнегативна бактерія, яка росте у вигляді паличок або ланцюжків, факультативно анаеробна, нестійка в довкіллі.

Епідеміологічні особливості

Джерело і резервуар інфекції
Джерелом інфекції найчастіше є пацюки, рідше інші гризуни, всі хижаки, які полюють на цих тварин, в яких Streptobacillus moniliformis перебуває на слизових оболонках ротової порожнини, глотки як звичайний представник їх мікрофлори. Хвора людина не є заразною.

Механізм і шляхи передачі
Зараження відбувається за допомогою контактного механізму передачі, безпосередньо рановим шляхом — від укусу гризунів, включаючи і лабораторних білих пацюків. Можливе зараження при потраплянні слини від хворої тварини на пошкодження шкіри, що до цього були у людей. Також відбувається іноді інфікування при споживанні забруднених виділеннями гризунів води і харчових продуктів, головним чином, молока, які не піддавалися перед вживанням термічній обробці. При цьому це є також шлях, що реалізує контактний механізм — зараження відбувається через мікропошкодження слизових оболонок ротової порожнини, глотки.

Сприйнятливий контингент та імунітет
Ступінь сприйнятливості людини та імунітет після перенесеної хвороби на сьогодні достеменно не прояснені, адже через переважно спорадичну захворюваність не вдається провести повноцінні дослідження у людей.

Патогенез
Виявити усі особливості патогенезу стрептобацильозу поки що не вдалося через відносно низьку кількість захворілих серед людей. Зрозумілим є те, що у місці укусу, де відбувається проникнення збудника, вкрай рідко розвиваються продуктивні явища запалення. Скоріше за все, розмноження збудника первинно відбувається у регіонарних до місця укусу лімфатичних вузлах, хоча і там немає дуже виразних змін і їх великого збільшення. В подальшому відбувається бактеріємія, збудник поширюється до внутрішніх органів, суглобів. Є збільшення печінки і селезінки, там відбуваються певні дегенеративні зміни. Можуть утворюватися вторинні вогнища у міокарді, ендокарді, суглобах. В останніх зміни носять імуноалергічний характер, є характерним проявом стрептобацильозу. Взагалі є свідчення, що ці збудники здатні запускати процес пошкодження синовіальних і серозних оболонок. Біопсія шкірних висипань продемонструвала, що в основі їх лежить лейкоцитокластичний васкуліт. У термінальних відділах кісток, що утворюють суглоби, відзначають періостит, фібринозний ексудат у синовіальній рідині. Можливі периартикулярні абсцеси. Є свідчення того, що в деяких випадках можливе формування хронічного поліартриту і хронічного перебігу стрептобацильозу.

Клінічні прояви
Інкубаційний період триває від 2 до 10 днів. Згідно з МКХ-10 вирізняють стрептобацильоз під кодом A25.1.
Хоча загальноприйнятої клінічної класифікації і не існує на сьогодні, але потрібно розрізняти мінімум 2 форми перебігу хвороби:
 типова, яка розвивається від укусу пацюків;
 гейврільська гарячка/епідемічна артритична еритема.

Клінічний перебіг хвороби, що розвивається після укусу пацюком

Перші ознаки
Початок гострий. З'являються раптовий озноб, підвищення температури тіла вище 39 °C, головний біль, міалгії. Первинний афект у місці укусу і лімфаденіт спостерігаються рідко. Поява такого афекту і виразного лімфаденіту скоріше за все свідчить не про стрептобацильоз, а про содоку.

Висип
Характерна поява поліморфного (плямистого, петехіального, папульозного, везикульозного) висипу на тулубі та кінцівках. На стопах нерідкі саме везикули (маленькі пухирці), облямовані гіперемійованою зоною, які вважають типовими для стрептобацильозу. Висипання можуть зберігатися до 7-10 днів, у чверті хворих на їх місці є лущення шкіри.

Поліартрит
Часто (у 75 %) розвиваються мігруючі моно- і поліартрити. Переважно уражаються суглоби нижніх кінцівок, вони нерідко збільшені у розмірах, шкіра над ними може бути гіперемійована. Хворі відчувають при цьому ще й біль в суглобах (артралгії) кінцівок при ходьбі. Артралгії можуть турбувати хворих ще багато місяців після щезнення інших симптомів.

Пізній пеірод
Тривалість гарячки частіше 3-5 діб, взагалі може бути до 2 тижнів, часто спостерігають рецидиви.

Гейврільська гарячка
При цій формі внаслідок потрапляння збудника до організму через мікропошкодження слизових оболонок ротоглотки відбувається місцевий запальний процес у вигляді фарингіту, через що хворі на гейврільську гарячку окрім типових симптомів відзначають дискомфорт у глотці при ковтанні, а при огляді її спостерігають набряклість слизової, гіперемію. Досить часто є нудота і блювання, більш виразні артрити, ніж при типовому перебігу стрептобацильозу.

Ускладнення
Можливі ендокардит, абсцеси м'яких тканин, пневмонія, сепсис. У немовлят і маленьких дітей часто розвивається тяжка діарея, що може призвести до дегідратаційного шоку. Без етіотропного лікування летальність сягає 13 %.

Діагностика
Діагноз встановлюють на підставі клінічної картини хвороби, її зв'язку з укусом пацюком або іншою твариною і підтверджують за необхідності бактеріологічним дослідженням крові, суглобової рідини, серологічними методами (реакції аглютинації і зв'язування комплементу). Для швидкої діагностики запропоновані методики визначення профілю жирних кислот при проведенні газорідинної хроматографії. Електрофорез в поліакриламідному гелі з високою роздільною здатністю в поєднанні з комп'ютерним аналізом був також використаний для підтвердження діагнозу, адже цей метод дає змогу розрізнити штами Streptobacillus moniliformis. Розроблена для ідентифікації збудника стрептобацильозу і ПЛР.

Лікування

Призначають пеніцилін, або доксициклін, або макроліди в середніх терапевтичних дозах протягом 5-7 діб. При розвитку ендокардиту поєднували пеніцилін з стрептоміцином. Для боротьби з імуноалергічними ушкодженнями в тяжких випадках застосовують антигістамінні препарати, глюкокортикостероїди, протизапальні засоби.

Профілактика
Направлена на боротьбу з гризунами, захист від їх укусів, дотримання правил зберігання харчових продуктів. У непевних випадках молоко потрібно вживати лише після кип'ятіння. Має проводитися дератизація. Після укусу потрібно провести постконтактну профілактику: промивання рани мильним розчином, обробка антисептиками, за необхідності прийом доксицикліну протягом 5-7 днів.

Drinking to Cope With Social Anxiety Disorder
September 11, 2012 September 11, 2012 / Articles>Dual Diagnosis
Alcohol consumption is often motivated by stress. Some specific situations, such as anxiety, can lead to self-medication, with individuals realizing that alcohol can help them feel more in control of a situation. However, it can also lead to misuse of alcohol, and result in related consequences. Individuals with social anxiety disorder (SAD) may be especially likely to use alcohol to offset the symptoms of their illness. Some explain this as a natural result of the pairing of alcohol with social situations like parties and mixers. A recent study examined the relationship between coping motives for drinking and their role connected with SAD (Windle & Windle, 2012). The study was based on a belief that in individuals who suffer from SAD, drinking motives could act as a mediator between alcohol problems and SAD. The researchers gathered information about a group of 717 individuals involved in the Lives Across Time (LAT) prospective study adolescents, which included a total of 1,205 young people. The data included multiple variables measured in high school and included a follow-up in the young adult years. The information was collected within four waves, conducted in the form of surveys held at school with sophomores and juniors. The waves were separated by six month intervals. The final two waves were in-person interviews and were separated by five or six years. They occurred when the participants were at the average ages of 23 and 29. At each major stage, the researchers measured drinking motives, such as coping, social and enhancement. For adolescent survey waves, the researchers used the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale and also assessed the frequency and amount of the consumption of alcohol in the last month. During the young adulthood waves, the interviewers used the Composite International Diagnostic Interview to assess the participants' history of depression and various anxiety problems. Linear regressions models were used to analyze the various aspects of the data, including the motives of young adults when they drink, as outcomes and anxiety and depression histories as predictors to understand the correlation between SAD and specific drinking motives. The results showed that 13 percent of the participants met criteria for SAD at some point during their lives. The analysis showed that SAD was a predictor of coping drinking motives, but was not a predictor for social or enhancement motives. In addition, the researchers found that depression, panic disorder and anxiety disorder were all predictors of endorsing coping drinking motives. There were several limitations noted related to the findings of the study. For instance, the sample used was largely white, middle-class individuals, and self-report was a major technique for data gathering. The findings of the study show that there may be a connection between coping motives and not only SAD, but possibly any general mental distress.

Q: How to read in an object by its members' names? How to read in an object by its member variables' names from a text file? For example, I have a class Point with X, Y, Z properties. And I can read a point by
 Z = 1; X = 2; Y = 3;

Or is there any existing libraries to do similar things?
I think I can use Console to read a line or lines and then parse the lines. Is there any pattern or generic templates that I can make it automatic for any class.

A: If you can change how object is represented as text (the right term is serialized), I would say that the nearest standarized serialization format to your custom one is YAML.
For example, your object would be serialized as follows:
Point:
   Z: 1
   X: 2
   Y: 3

And there's a serializer/deserializer for .NET called YamlDotNet.
Otherwise, I would go with JSON:
{ z: 1, x: 2, y: 3 }

...which can be deserialized with the well-known and mature JSON.NET library.

WOODSTOCK, Ill., April 16, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- OWC®; a leading zero emissions Mac and PC technology company and one of the world's most respected creators of SSDs, Thunderbolt external drives, PC & Mac docking solutions and performance upgrade kits, today proudly announced its new line of Aura® Pro X2 SSDs for select MacBook Pro Retina, MacBook Air, Mac Mini and Mac Pro models. OWC believes the need for more storage capacity shouldn't force users into spending $1,300-$4,000+ for a new MacBook when a DIY upgrade for a fraction of the cost of a new model keeps Macs running at peak performance for years to come.
Up to twice as fast as the original SSDs, the Aura Pro X2 gives older Macs the space and speed to keep up with the demands of today and tomorrow. With read speeds reaching over 3200MB/s and write speeds of 2400MB/s, the Aura Pro X2 delivers performance on par with Apple's latest models. And even at double the original speed, the new lineup runs cooler and consumes less power, which is a significant benefit for longer battery life on the road for those upgrading MacBook Pro laptops.
"It can take years to get your Mac broken in and situated with the keyboard, ports, apps and stickers that make it feel like home, so it can be a bit traumatic when everything starts to slow down, or your drive starts to fail," said OWC CEO and Founder Larry O'Connor. "Replacing your original drive with a state-of-the-art SSD is the easiest and most affordable way to bring that old Mac up to modern performance specs, and it can be done in under 10 minutes. We've spent more than ten years working on perfecting every aspect of our entire lineup of SSDs, and they are the fastest and most reliable internal replacement SSDs your money can buy."
The new Aura Pro X2 rounds out a substantial array of upgrades and enhancements to OWC's entire line up of SSD models designed specifically for Apple models. Today's Aura Pro X2 lineup, now available for MacBook Air (Mid-2013 to 2017), MacBook Pro (Retina, Late 2013 to Mid 2015), Mac Pro (2013/Current Model) and Mac mini (Late 2014), utilizes the latest Flash NAND and controller capabilities from brand new OWC designs. OWC has been committed to supporting Apple users with systems new and old for more than 30 years.

Renée Bordereau, dite l'Angevin, née le  à Soulaines-sur-Aubance et morte le  à Yzernay, est une combattante lors des guerres de Vendée. Elle combat habillée en homme dans l'Armée catholique et royale.

Sa tête mise à prix, arrêtée sous Napoléon en 1809 alors qu'elle continue les combats clandestins, elle est envoyée en prison à Angers, puis au Mont Saint-Michel jusqu'en 1814. Elle est décorée de l'ordre du Lys en 1815 de la main du duc de Berry, et écrit ses mémoires en 1814 sur demande de Madame de la Rochejaquelein et Madame de Chastelleux. Lors des Cent-Jours, la police de Napoléon la suspecte encore de vouloir attenter à la vie de l'empereur.

Biographie

Née à Soulaines-sur-Aubance, dans le hameau des Baluères, le  dans un milieu modeste, Renée Bordereau vit sa famille décimée sous la Terreur, ayant selon elle, perdu jusqu'à 42 de ses proches. Avec deux de ses frères et  de sa paroisse, ayant vu son propre père massacré sous ses yeux, elle acheta un fusil à deux coups et, s'étant vêtu en homme, s'engagea dans les guerres de Vendée, jurant de combattre jusqu'à "la mort ou la victoire".

Elle prit d'abord le nom de son frère Hyacinthe, mais ses compagnons l'appelèrent Langevin, pseudonyme sous lequel elle devint célèbre. Son premier fait d'armes fut la prise de Cholet sous les ordres de Lescure. Elle participa alors à l'ensemble des guerres de Vendée : Saint-Florent-le-Vieil, Fontenay, Saumur, Angers, Nantes où elle combattit à cheval comme à pied, souvent au corps à corps et à l'arme blanche. Blessée d'une balle à la jambe à Martigné-Briand, elle reprenait le combat quelques jours après et tuait encore  à Vihiers.

Après la défaite de Savenay et la déroute de la virée de Galerne, Renée se cacha pendant deux mois, et commença une guerre de partisans, avec harcèlement des armées républicaines, en compagnie d'une petite bande d'une quinzaine de cavaliers, qui parvinrent ainsi à libérer à plusieurs reprises de nombreux prisonniers. Ils rejoignirent ensuite Stofflet pour de plus grandes opérations.

Après la signature de la paix, en 1795, Renée Bordereau fut faite prisonnière à plusieurs reprises, mais parvint à échapper aux gendarmes en reprenant parfois ses habits de femme, menant pendant deux ans une vie de fugitive, sa tête étant mise à prix pour . Renée Bordereau fit la guerre de 1799, mais, travaillant de nuit pour assurer son existence, elle fut capturée en 1804 à , accusée d'avoir violé la fille d'un brigadier : mais révélant sa simple identité de femme, elle fut innocentée et relâchée, sans avoir eu à dire qu'elle était Renée Bordereau.

Malgré l'aide de plusieurs maires locaux, pourchassée, refusant de reconnaître les prêtres du Concordat, elle fut arrêtée à Beaupréau en 1809 et fut conduite au château d'Angers où elle fut enfermée pendant trois ans dans des conditions parfois affreuses. Ayant creusé un trou dans sa cellule, elle comptait sauter un mur de "plus de soixante pieds" ; mais le trou fut découvert et Renée transférée au Mont Saint-Michel où elle resta encore deux ans, n'étant libérée que par le retour de Louis XVIII en France et la fin du règne de Napoléon.

Les archétypes historiographiques de Renée Bordereau
Nous ne connaissons de Renée Bordereau que ce qu'elle veut bien raconter d'elle dans ses mémoires aux débuts de la Restauration ; de ce fait, l'image qu'elle a laissée est celle qu'elle a bien voulu se construire dans ses mémoires, desquels nous dépendons fortement ; elle est cependant citée aussi par Madame de Lescure dans ses propres mémoires comme une femme intrépide.

Habillée en homme, catholique et royaliste, la combattante Renée Bordereau a laissée d'elle une image proche de celle de Jeanne d'Arc de laquelle elle se différencie toutefois du fait qu'elle célèbre elle-même les nombreux morts dont elle fut responsable et se plaît à énumérer les exécutions, ayant ainsi laissé le souvenir d'une femme courageuse mais acharnée, parfois sans pitié. Les révolutionnaires eurent tôt fait de bâtir, à partir des faits et gestes de Renée Bordereau, l'image des femmes vendéennes ignorantes fanatisées par les prêtres insermentés, appelées "brigandes". Ce qui est loin d'être le cas, Renée Bordereau ayant un caractère très indépendant
.

Quelques faits d'armes héroïques

Renée Bordereau se glorifie dans ses mémoires de quelques faits mémorables.

 À Luçon, le , elle reçoit une balle au-dessous de l'oreille et son cheval meurt sous elle, mais elle parvient à se retrancher et à tuer encore 6 hommes.

 À Doué-la-Fontaine, ses conseils au général Stofflet pour soutenir une éventuelle retraite sauve environ 400 soldats ; elle parvient alors à faire retraite en emmenant avec elle un blessé jusqu'à Beaulieu.

 non loin de Laval, pendant la virée de Galerne, blessée au bras par un coup d'épée, elle s'entraîne pour tirer de la main gauche et s'entête à continuer les combats à l'avant-garde malgré les tergiversations du général Stofflet, ce qui lui permet d'aller délivrer, plusieurs jours après,  enfermés au Mont Saint-Michel.

 en 1794, après qu'elle eut protégé, menant 200 hommes avec elle, les populations de la Pommeraye, Chalonnes sur Loire et Saint-Laurent, ceux-ci veulent la nommer commandant, ce qu'elle refuse en disant qu'elle ne s'en estime pas capable.

I want to take this time to explain the importance of this holiday called Pecach. Many of you begins with myself for years had believe in a Easter and looking forward for Good Friday. Now the lack of knowledge has lead us astray so our believe system become tainted and corrupted. Knowing the truth from the Hebrew makes things so easy . Before I go further…I just need to make this point that Pecach isn't related to Easter as some may understood it. some of the activity is included within this Moed feast but we need to understand distinctively what those things are.
Easter Sunday is a festival and holiday celebrated by millions of people around the world who honour the resurrection of Jesus from the dead, described in the New Testament as having occurred three days after his crucifixion at Calvary. It is also the day that children excitedly wait for the Easter bunny to arrive and deliver their treats of chocolate eggs. Easter is a 'movable feast' which is chosen to correspond with the first Sunday following the full moon after the March equinox, and occurs on different dates around the world since western churches use the Gregorian calendar, while eastern churches use the Julian calendar. So where did this 'movable feast' begin, and what are the origins of the traditions and customs celebrated on this important day around the world?
According to some scholars, such as Dr. Tony Nugent, teacher of Theology and Religious Studies at Seattle University, and Presbyterian minister, the Easter story comes from the Sumerian legend of Damuzi (Tammuz) and his wife Inanna (Ishtar), an epic myth called "The Descent of Inanna" found inscribed on cuneiform clay tablets dating back to 2100 BC. When Tammuz dies, Ishtar is grief–stricken and follows him to the underworld. In the underworld, she enters through seven gates, and her worldly attire is removed. "Naked and bowed low" she is judged, killed, and then hung on display. In her absence, the earth loses its fertility, crops cease to grow and animals stop reproducing. Unless something is done, all life on earth will end.
Did you see how twisted ha satan is? he perverted the reality of the word into his satatic teactings and many running with it as though its facutal. After these teaching had been around for sometime..it want to become like it the honest truth.
Most analyses of the origin of the word 'Easter' maintain that it was named after a goddess mentioned by the 7th to 8th-century English monk Bede, who wrote that Ēosturmōnaþ (Old English 'Month of Ēostre', translated in Bede's time as "Paschal month") was an English month, corresponding to April, which he says "was once called after a goddess of theirs named Ēostre, in whose honour feasts were celebrated in that month".
In many Christian traditions, the custom of giving eggs at Easter celebrates new life. Christians remember that Jesus, after dying on the cross, rose from the dead, showing that life could win over death. For Christians the egg is a symbol of Jesus' resurrection, as when they are cracked open, they stand for the empty tomb.
Regardless of the very ancient origins of the symbol of the egg, most people agree that nothing symbolises renewal more perfectly than the egg – round, endless, and full of the promise of life.


The PC candidate talks about the challenges a government faces when funding universities.
Two sets of footwear are needed for campaigning. A nice pair and a comfortable pair. After changing into the comfortable pair, Rob Batherson, candidate for the Halifax-Citadel PC Party sits down to talk student issues.
"Affordability is the big issue, we've gone in the last 10 years, from having undergraduate tuition at the national level, to now, going back to Nova Scotia students paying among the highest levels of tuition in the country," says Batherson.
According to Batherson the problem with affordability started after the O'Neill report. The NDP government cut university funding but also capped the amount tuition could be raised. It was a cost saving and student protection policy. Cut the money and universities would need more, cap tuition so it can't come from the students. When the Liberals came into power they gave a small increase to funding grants and removed the tuition caps.
His plan to make university more affordable up front is to tie provincial funding to tuition. Tuition has to be at or below the national average. If tuition is too high, funding is reduced.
The national average is $6,373, which is a lot, but it gives a target to aim for that's lower than Nova Scotia's current average of $7,218.
"To the former NDP government's credit, the graduate retention rebate program was set up when they were in office. The Liberals did away with it. We see bringing that back in some form," says Batherson.
Funding for university is a complicated problem. While a provincial government can influence tuition cost by increasing or decreasing funding, universities maintain a level of autonomy. Different universities have different specialties, what works for a university like Dalhousie, won't necessarily work for NSCAD. A government would have to do a one size fits all solution, or spend a lot of time and money on individual plans.
"There's a well-established convention of academic freedom. So you have to be very, very careful when you have governments, maybe with the best of intent, imposing their will," says Batherson.
There are also issues affecting students in their greater university experience. Students who go to school in Halifax also live and work here. A student downtown can easily walk or bus to a hospital. There's no direct bus Bayer's Lake. The plan to open a health care clinic in Bayers Lake would be very inconvenient for any student who can't afford a car or doesn't know anyone with a car.
According to him the Liberals have made good progress on issues like immigration and the NDP on health care. Those ideas and policies should be advanced even if they didn't come from the PC party.
"Regardless of if you can vote or not, or if you vote for me or not. If I'm the MLA after May 30, I view my role as representative of all the residents – voters or not – in this constituency on all Nova Scotia government issues," said Batherson.
Wednesday, May 24th: 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Thursday, May 25th: 9 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Friday, May 26th: 9 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Saturday, May 27th: 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.

This monster-sized commercial inflatable slide is a great choice when you are having a party or outdoor event. It stands 20 feet high and provides enough room (and thrills) for many young participants. We've selected the toughest vinyl material in the industry in the primary colors to give our inflatable slide a colorful and fun look. The slide itself features a single wide lane. Right next to it is the access ramp leading to the top of the slide. Mesh panels at the top are added for safety. The wide base and arches on the slide unit provide structural support, while high bolstered sides and bumpers keep little bodies in place as they zip down the dry slide lane.


News - Welcome to St Lawrences Church in Feltham, Middlesex.
The celebration continued in the School with the feeding of the 5,000, speeches – and the cutting of no less than four cakes!
On Sunday 27th March we held a special Service of Induction for the parishioners who had joined the Knights of St Columba following their recruitment drive in February and Fr Chris was made an honorary Knight!
On Sunday 20th February we celebrated Education Sunday and the great mission of Catholic Education.
We were honoured that Archbishop Vincent Nichols chose to spend this day at St Lawrence's and celebrate the 11 am Mass. Around 700 parishioners turned up to welcome the Archbishop. Primary and secondary school children wore their school uniforms and they all sat on the floor at the front of the Church. Although emphasis is given to education in schools, Archbishop Nichols stressed in the homily that Education Sunday is not only a day to celebrate the work of schools, but the Christian formation of children that comes from all aspects of their life and their environment, the home, the community, the parish, where every word and action inspires them to draw out the talents that God has hidden inside them. Archbishop Nichols also mentioned something that Pope Benedict said during his visit to Britain in September 2010: "The road to happiness is the road that takes us close to God", concluding that if we are touching the heart of God, we are touching the heart of education.
During the offertory, children attending St Lawrence's school brought up drawings, pictures and cards which the Archbishop admired. Then, he blessed all the children in their uniform at the front of the Church.
After Mass, parishioners had the opportunity to meet the Archbishop in the school hall, to take some pictures and share a few words over tea and cakes.
Dozens of couples from St Lawrence's - some married for just a few months and other married for many decades - celebrated the love they share by taking part in a special Mass of Thanksgiving for the Sacrament of Matrimony on Saturday 12th February. During the Mass the couples renewed their Marriage Vows using the rite used for the blessing of marriages at Cana. Fr Chris then re-blessed their wedding rings. "It was truly LOVEly," said one couple, "We were both really moved ," added another.
To celebrate the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord, we invited all the families whose babies have been baptised at St Lawrence's over the past year to a special Baptismal celebration around our Christmas crib. A somewhat noisy but very joyful event included the renewal of Baptismal promises and a relighting of the babies' Baptismal candles.

Gary Peters on Homeland Security
AdWatch: endorsed by VoteVets for military service
A liberal group announced it was going on air to promote the incumbent Democrat. VoteVets Action Fund said in a press release that it would be spending $750,000 on ads touting Peters' "career of service in the military and public office, and the results he delivered." The ads seem designed to counter Peters' Republican opponent, Iraq War veteran John James of Farmington Hills.
VoteVets described itself as the "largest progressive group of veterans in America." A 2016 report from the Center for Public Integrity described the group as a "liberal 'dark money' nonprofit."
The new ads will start airing Thursday in multiple TV markets, including Detroit, Flint and Grand Rapids, according to a press release.[Ad text: "Call Gary Peters. Thank him for sponsoring the Securing America's Ports of Entry Act"] Source: Detroit News AdWatch on 2020 Michigan Senate endorsements , Nov 7, 2019
Less-than-honorable discharged veterans can regain benefits
Peters notes legislative victories on bills he has helped pass with Republicans--including those protecting rights of service members. Peters helped pass a provision that helps service members given a less-than-honorable discharge because of negative behavior file petitions that could help them change their status and potentially regain benefits if they can show their behavior was because of issues such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or traumatic brain injury (TBI).

Two senators have introduced bipartisan legislation to give funds to synagogues and other religious and cultural institutions to help provide additional security against potential terrorist attacks. Rob Portman (R-Ohio) and Gary Peters (D-Michigan) introduced Protecting Faith-Based and Nonprofit Organizations From Terrorism Act, or S. 1539, to authorize $75 million annually for fiscal years 2020-2024, for the Department of Homeland Security's Nonprofit Security Grant Program.

broadcasting, transmitting, and programming over noncommercial educational radio broadcast stations
cooperating with foreign broadcasting networks
assisting and supporting noncommercial educational radio broadcasting
paying dues to such organizations
or acquiring radio programs for public broadcast.
[Rep. Blackburn, R-TN]: This bill gets the Federal Government--and Federal taxpayers--out of the business of buying radio programming they do not agree with. This is a bill that is long overdue. Regardless of what you think of NPR, its programming or statements by its management, the time has come to cut the umbilical cord from the taxpayer support that has become as predictable as an entitlement program. Much has changed in the media landscape since the wiretaps, to seek certain business records, and to gather intelligence on lone terrorists who are not affiliated with a known terrorist group. The Patriot Act works. It has proved effective in preventing terrorist attacks and protecting Americans. To let these provisions expire would leave every American less safe.
[Rep. Conyers, D-MI]: Section 215 of the Patriot Act allows a secret FISA court to authorize our government to collect business records or anything else, requiring that a person or business produce virtually any type record. We didn't think that that was right then. We don't think it's right now. This provision is contrary to traditional notions of search and seizure which require the government to show reasonable suspicion or probable cause before undertaking an investigation that infringes upon a person's privacy. And so I urge a "no" vote on the extension of these expiring provisions. Reference: FISA Sunsets Extension Act; Bill H.514 ; vote number 11-HV066 on Feb 17, 2011

Issue Advocacy:
The nature of war is changing, and the needs of veterans in the 21st century are different than in past eras. To that end, VoteVets.org has successfully fought for the following:
An end to wasteful spending, such as the out-of-date F-22, with a greater focus on practical equipment, such as body and vehicle armor.
A 21st Century G.I. Bill, to make college affordable for our returning service-members, allowing them to become part of the middle class.
A repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell, allowing more Americans to serve in the Armed Forces, and stop the depletion of our military of essential specialists, such as translators.
Increased financial support for mental health care for our service members, as well as greater research and treatment of Traumatic Brain Disorders.
An end to the destructive "Stop Loss" policy, which involuntarily extended deployments, as well as increased time on the home front between deployments.

The Uniting and Strengthening America by Fulfilling Rights and Ensuring Effective Discipline Over Monitoring Act of 2014 or the USA FREEDOM Act: Congressional Summary:
Requires the FBI, when seeking phone call records, to show both relevance and a reasonable suspicion that the specific selection term is associated with a foreign power engaged in international terrorism.
Requires a judge approving the release, on a daily basis, of call detail records; and to limit production of records to a period of 180 days.
Requires a declassification review of each decision issued by the FISA court; and make such decisions publicly available, subject to permissible redactions.
Opposing argument: (ACLU, "Surveillance Reform After the USA Freedom Act", June 3, 2015): The USA Freedom Act that passed by a 67-32 margin is not as strong as we wanted. It is markedly weaker than the original version of the USA Freedom Act that the ACLU first supported in 2013. We supported a sunset of the provisions in an effort to advance more comprehensive reform, including rejecting surveillance through cybersecurity information-sharing legislation. Notwithstanding this, however, it is very clear that the USA Freedom Act is a historic step forward.
Opposing argument: (Cato Institute , "Cato scholars differ on USA Freedom Act", Oct., 2015): The privacy community remained divided over the USA Freedom Act. The final version of the bill reauthorized several expiring Patriot Act provisions, but limited bulk collection. Some legislators argued that to pass new legislation would only provide the government convenient new legal justification for its spying--which it would interpret broadly. On the opposite side of the argument stood some pro-privacy groups who held that modest reforms were better than no reforms at all. Source: H.R.2048&S.2685 14-H2048 on Apr 28, 2015
End bulk data collection under USA PATRIOT Act.
Peters co-sponsored USA FREEDOM Act
Congressional summary:: Uniting and Strengthening America by Fulfilling Rights and Ending Eavesdropping, Dragnet-collection, and Online Monitoring Act or the USA FREEDOM Act:
Amends the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) to require that the records sought pertain to an individual in contact with a foreign power.
Amends the USA PATRIOT Act to minimize the acquisition and retention of information and to prohibit its unauthorized dissemination.
Imposes additional requirements on the authorized use of pen registers and trap and trace devices (devices for recording incoming and outgoing telephone numbers).
Prohibits the searching of collections of communications of US persons.
Opponent's argument against (Electronic Frontier Foundation): The bill only addresses a small portion of the problems created by NSA spying. It does not touch problems like NSA programs to sabotage encryption standards; it does not effectively tackle the issue of collecting information on people outside of the US; and it doesn't address the authority that the government is supposedly using to tap the data links between service provider data centers, such as those owned by Google and Yahoo. The bill also does not address excessive secrecy; it won't deal with the major over-classification issues or the state secrets privilege.
Opponent's argument against (J. Kirk Wiebe, former NSA Senior Intelligence Analyst interview with TheRealNews.com): It's window dressing. Stopping bulk collection is a good step, but the only thing that's going to fix this is direct access into NSA's databases by an independent group of hackers, techie types, people like Snowden who know how to get into a network and look at things and verify that the data they're collecting and what they're doing with it complies with the Constitution. The NSA has essentially operated illegally--unconstitutionally--for 60% of its existence. Source: HR3361 & S1599 14-H3361 on Oct 29, 2013

We here at EXPLAIN are a new star in the sky of the German economy. The statistical company Statista determined which companies could be called growth champions of 2017 for the business magazine, Focus. We are among the 500 new 'star' German companies.
A prerequisite for being included was that all listed companies operate independently and are based in Germany. They must also have a minimum turnover of 100,000 euros in 2012 and a minimum turnover of 1.8 million euros in 2015.
From 2012 to 2015, we recruited 27 new employees for EXPLAIN which nearly doubled our size in just in four years. Despite this increase in the number of employees, we have been able to steadily increase our sales growth and ended up having growth of 29% per year. Just like HelloFresh and Zalando we are one of the 500 growth champions in the German economy.
We at EXPLAIN believe that great presentations move people, companies, and markets. In addition to medium-sized companies, we also work with large German corporations such as adidas, Daimler, and Porsche to achieve successful corporate communications through presentations. Our recipe for success is the presentoric principle. The two areas of presentation and rhetoric are equal factors in achieving successful communication through presentation. Structured content, professionally designed slides and impressive speakers are the main focus. Early on, we recognized the importance of clear values as daily guidelines for making decisions. We understand our customers and keep their best interests in mind. EXPLAIN is employee-oriented and promotes a proactive culture of personal responsibility. Trainees are involved in projects right from the start of their training. A centralized, one-team concept also connects us outside of work. As a vision-oriented company, we see ourselves as constantly learning. We develop with our customers and are always looking for new ways to present, so that we can make a lasting change to the presentation culture throughout Germany.

Rape Survivors' Sexual History Is Used Against Them in Court, Say Campaigners
"We cannot allow rape trials to be inquisitions into the complainant's sex life."
Share ShareTweetEmail
People who report rape are being quizzed unfairly on their sexual history in court, according to a group of cross-party MPs, charities, and rape support organisations calling for a change in the law.
Evidence of extramarital affairs, having had multiple sexual partners, and sexual preferences is leading to complainants of rape being "unfairly judged," say campaigners.
What's more, according to campaigners, the fear of having details of their sexual history brought up in front of a jury is putting victims off reporting rape.
Take action: Tell World Leaders to Redouble Their Efforts By Amending Laws to Prevent Sexual Violence
Two former solicitor generals — Dame Vera Baird QC, the Northumbria Police and Crime Commissioner, and Labour MP Harriet Harman — are leading the campaign, which launched on Monday.
A coalition of 17 cross-party MPs, eight charities, peers, and rape support organisations met for the first time in parliament for the campaign launch.
They are calling on the government to change the law and to tackle the problem of previous sexual history being brought up in court, "of which there is overwhelming evidence."

"In the 70s, 80s, and 90s, we fought to protect women from being unfairly judged on their sexual history, back then the argument would run 'she consented to me as well because she'll have sex with anyone'," said Baird in a statement.
In 1999, a law was introduced in an effort to protect rape complainants and to "curtail" the use of their sexual history "as evidence of consent."
"But the research is clear that the law is not working as parliament intended it to and we are now having to fight that fight again," added Baird.

The law — Section 41 of the Youth Justice and Criminal Evidence Act 1999 — states that, in a sexual offence trial, an application has to first be made on behalf of the accused to bring in evidence of the complainant's sexual history, or to cross-examine the complainant about their sexual history.
Our concern is based on systematic observation of rape trials @VeraBaird and survey of Independent Sexual Violence Advisors. There IS a problem. It IS serious. And we can sort it https://t.co/NMVejcz91F
— Harriet Harman (@HarrietHarman) January 29, 2018
However, according to campaigners, the law is failing to "protect women from being unfairly judged on their sexual history," said Baird.
"We cannot allow rape trials to be inquisitions into the complainant's sex life," Baird continued. "The fear of a complainant being confronted with evidence relating to sex with other men is, and has always been, a huge deterrent to reporting rape."

Campaigners held up the Ched Evans case from 2016, during which the footballer was acquitted of rape after fresh evidence was used in his retrial.
Two other men testified in court at the retrial, including offering details of the complainants' sexual preferences, according to the Guardian, and the language she used during sex.
Baird also conducted research, compiled in a report called "Seeing Is Believing", for which court observers watched 30 rape trials over a course of 18 months at Newcastle Crown Court.
Of these trials, evidence of a complainants' sexual history was used in 11 of the cases — 37% — and in the majority of these, the evidence used related to sex with men other than the accused.
According to campaigners, defence barristers use the evidence to undermine the complainants' credibility.

In one case, says Baird's research, a woman was asked by the defence whether she had previously had anal sex "to give the impression [she] would consent to a wide range of sexual experiences, to influence the jury into thinking the survivor had in fact consented and that it wasn't rape."
In another case, according to Baird, the defence barrister said that it was to show that "she is an adulteress."

— Fawcett Society (@fawcettsociety) January 23, 2018
The research also alleges that in seven of the 11 cases where sexual history was used as evidence, the proper procedure of applying for the judge's consent ahead of trial with notice to the prosecution wasn't followed — instead, it claims, either there was no application, or it was made at the trial without notice.
Two further national surveys — from women's rights organisation the Fawcett Society this month, and sexual violence and safeguarding organisation LimeCulture in 2017 — also found that the Section 41 application procedure was being ignored in some cases.
In December, however, analysis from the Ministry of Justice (MOJ) and the Attorney General's Office was published, examining more than 300 rape cases. According to the analysis, in 92% of cases the defence introduced no evidence of the complainant's sexual history.

Campaigners want Section 41 to be strengthened, including by introducing clauses to force judges to balance applications against the risks of prejudice, "discriminatory belief or bias," and turning juries "hostile," according to the Independent.
"It's not a fair trial if prejudicial, irrelevant evidence is allowed in," said Harriet Harman MP, also a former Solicitor General.
"We need a change in the law to ensure that trials are fair and that complainants do not face the ordeal of their sexual history being dragged through the courts," she added.
The Fawcett Society's review also recommended that victims should have a right to legal representation whenever an application to use Section 41 is made; and the government must review the law — in particular, it added, whether the use of sexual history evidence should be used at all for the purposes of establishing consent.

I'm trying to use a ajax call to load WFS data from geoserver into a GeoJson layer in leaflet.
That script seems to relate only to OpenLayers. My question is can I use this for leaflet and if not how to I get the wfs data? There must be a way round this problem but I can't see anything in the main documentation and I've searched almost exhausted my searching elsewhere.
While you can set up a proxy with your webserver, there is an easier way.
First, enable JSONP in GeoServer.
layer.bindPopup("Popup text, access attributes with feature.properties.ATTRIBUTE_NAME"
This has the additional advantage on working on your test server, as it avoids cross site scripting issues due to the use of JSONP (quoted json objects, from my understanding).
By the way, I use nginx for the webserver and have the proxy stuff working. If you would like to know how please let me know and I'll edit something in here.
EDIT: another way of getting rid of this error is enabling CORS in either Tomcat (or Jetty, maybe?) or your reverse proxy.
Regardless of the library used, web browsers won't allow loading Ajax content from another port (in this case 8080), even from the same domain. The easiest way to fix this is to set up mod_proxy in Apache webserver (sample configuration: mod_proxy geoserver Gist), which allows to redirect all GeoServer-related traffic to port 80 and thus no Access-Control-Allow-Origin restrictions will apply.
I'm not sure this is the appropriate answer, but I wanted to point out that setting up the proxying in nginx is very easy.
to your /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default (or whatever). Now you can send your JSON calls to port 80, and experience no more cross-origin scripting issues.
It would be much trickier if geoserver didn't conveniently have a URL structure which begins "/geoserver".

Most employees who receive free parking don't think of it as a perk. The challenge with this option is to alter employee thinking so that parking is viewed as a benefit, not a guarantee. Parking Management encourages employees to use shared commute methods by making single-occupancy vehicle (SOV) travel less convenient and/or more expensive. Most effectively employed in the suburbs, where parking is viewed as plentiful and inexpensive, this approach treats parking as a privilege.
These programs can also be beneficial to employers by eliminating the need for additional lot construction and reducing insurance and maintenance costs. With a cash-out system, employees who currently drive do not suffer detrimental consequences, and those who don't drive now receive a subsidy for their efforts. Consultation on designing preferred parking accommodations and procedures or establishing a cash-out program may be arranged through your MAP contact.


En 1911, le mathématicien Leonard Dickson s'est lancé dans une étude historique de la théorie des nombres, qui a culminé avec la publication de son History of the Theory of Numbers en trois volumes. Notre étude examine la genèse de ce travail, l'approche historiographique qui la sous-tend et les contributions mathématiques qui en découlent.
In 1911, the research mathematician Leonard Dickson embarked on a historical study of the theory of numbers which culminated in the publication of his three-volume History of the Theory of Numbers. This paper discusses the genesis of this work, the historiographic style revealed therein, and the mathematical contributions which arose out of it.

Q: How do we prove $\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\binom{n}{r}x^n =\frac{x^r}{(1-x)^{r+1}}$ . We know that the series $\displaystyle \sum_{r=0}^{\infty} \binom{n}{r}x^r = (1+x)^n$ but how do we prove $\displaystyle \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \binom{n}{r}x^n = \frac{x^r}{(1-x)^{r+1}}$?

A: In this answer it is shown that
$$
\binom{n}{r}=\binom{n}{n-r}=(-1)^{n-r}\binom{-r-1}{n-r}
$$
Therefore,
$$
\begin{align}
\sum_{n=r}^\infty\binom{n}{r}x^n
&=\sum_{n=r}^\infty(-1)^{n-r}\binom{-r-1}{n-r}x^n\\
&=x^r\sum_{n=0}^\infty(-1)^n\binom{-r-1}{n}x^n\\
&=\frac{x^r}{(1-x)^{r+1}}
\end{align}
$$

A: One way is by induction on $r$. For $r=0$ it's just
$$\sum_{n\ge 0}x^n=\frac1{1-x}\;.$$
If
$$\sum_{n\ge 0}\binom{n}rx^n=\frac{x^r}{(1-x)^{r+1}}\;,$$
then
$$\begin{align*}
\sum_{n\ge 0}\binom{n}{r+1}x^n&=\sum_{n\ge 0}\left(\binom{n-1}r+\binom{n-1}{r+1}\right)x^n\\
&=\sum_{n\ge 0}\binom{n-1}rx^n+\sum_{n\ge 0}\binom{n-1}{r+1}x^n\\
&=x\sum_{n\ge 0}\binom{n}rx^n+x\sum_{n\ge 0}\binom{n}{r+1}x^n\\
&=\frac{x^{r+1}}{(1-x)^{r+1}}+x\sum_{n\ge 0}\binom{n}{r+1}x^n\;,
\end{align*}$$
so
$$(1-x)\sum_{n\ge 0}\binom{n}{r+1}x^n=\frac{x^{r+1}}{(1-x)^{r+1}}\;,$$
and
$$\sum_{n\ge 0}\binom{n}{r+1}x^n=\frac{x^{r+1}}{(1-x)^{r+2}}\;.$$
