Cupbearer, fill these eager mead-horns, for I have a song to sing. Let us plunge helmet first into the Dark Ages, as the candle of Roman civilization goes out over Europe, & an empire finally falls. The Britons, placid citizens after centuries of the Pax Romana, are suddenly assaulted on three sides; from the west sailed the Irish, from the north marauded the Picts & from across the North Sea the Anglo-Saxons slammed into the eastern coasts. For almost a century the situation was getting a tad desperate, until a great hero would rise up from the ranks & lead the Britons to victory. This man, who turned back the invading tide for the duration of his lifetime, was the world famous figurehead, King Arthur. With him we arrive at the world's greatest collection of creochsips, factochisps, philochisps, & just about every other musterable kind of chisper there is.
The thing is there is just too much of an Arthurian tradition for it all to be dismissed as fiction. To find the answers we will have to embark on a Dark Age detective story; it won't be like Agatha Christie or anything, where a bunch of middle-class grannies & well-educated toffs wander round posh hotels acting all guilty. Instead, we shall undertake our very own Grailquest to find the nuggets of genuine evidence left behind by King Arthur, who was a man, according to William of Malmesbury; 'worthy to be celebrated, not by ideal fictions, but by authentic history.' His legend is the primary myth of the British Islands whose name still resonates in every corner of the planet. As time dissolved memories of the historical Arthur, the traces of his famous happenings remained etched in the fabric of time. Clues include mentions in the vitas of seven saints; a crucial passage in the Historia Brittonum made by a ninth century monk, Nennius; while two centuries later, Geoffrey of Monmouth created his fluid Arthurcentric chronicle, the History of the Kings of Britain. Arthur, & many other characters associated with his legend, also turn up numerous times in the archaic poetry of the Welsh. By cross-referencing all this literary information against the archeological record, we are actually quite able to paint quite a detailed picture of Arthur & his times. Exist he must, & we are just about set to prove it.
Ambrosius was a Roman: His surname Aurelianus means he belonged to the high-status Aureli gens, an ancient Plebian family. By the 5th century AD, the Aureli had broken into numerous sub-branches, including the Cottae, Oristedes & the Symmachi.
He was one of the last true Romans to remain in Britain: That the Romans stayed behind in positions of power after the departure of the legions is confirmed by a chronicle known as the Bern Codex; 'in the year 409, Rome was taken by the Goths, and from that time Roman rule came to an end in Britain, except for some, who were born there, and who reigned for a short time.' The actual length of time meant by the Codex is vague, but we may conclude that the island-born Romans had control over Britain for only a single generation.
His parents were members of the Roman aristocracy: They were probably of senatorial or consular rank on account of them being 'adorned with the purple,' i.e. wearing purple-bordered togas.
His parents had been slain in Britain: Gildas describes the plight of the native Britons; 'the miserable remnant, being taken in the mountains, were murdered in great numbers.' According to Geoffrey of Monmouth – whom we shall from now on call Big Geoff – the mother of Ambrosius was a daughter of the king of Dyfed (Demetia) in SW Wales; 'they told them that none knew his father, but that his mother was daughter of the King of Demetia, and that she lived along with the nuns in St. Peter's Church in that same city.' This seems to indicate that Ambrosius' father died before his mother.
Ambrosius was born in the 440s: Chronologically, the passage above occurred after the arrival of the Saxons in England, dated by Gallic Chronicle to before 442. This connects with a passage in the medieval English chronicle made by Roger De Hovedon; 'In the year of grace 464, the Britons sent messengers into Brittany to Aurelius Ambrosius and his brother Uterpendragon, who had been sent there for fear of Vortigern, beseeching them to come over from the Armorican country without delay, to drive out the Saxons and king Vortigern, and take the crown themselves. As they had now arrived at man's estate, they began to make preparations of men and ships for the expedition.' If Ambrosius had just arrived at his 'man's estate' by 464, then we can see him being born at some point in the mid 440s.
The father of Ambrosius was a Roman consul: At this period, the Roman empire elected two consuls every year, one for the western empire based in Rome, & the other for the eastern empire in Constantinople. Looking through the consular list of Rome kept by Cassiodorus, we find three consuls who bore the name Aurelianus in the 5th century. The first is far too early (Aurelianus, consul 400) & likewise the third is far too late (Quintus Aurelius Memmius Symmachus, consul 485), which leaves only one possible candidate for an Aurelian consul. His name was Quintus Aurelius Symmachus, a member of the Symmachi branch of the Aureli gens, & the consul for the Western Empire in 446 AD. Throughout my chispological surveys I have often been surprised at how much historical information has been missed by many centuries of serious scholarship, but this particular nugget seems so obvious its perpetual non-discovery defies belief. When our oldest historians tell us that a certain man was the son of a Roman consul, common sense dictates we flick through a list of Roman consuls just as we moderns flick through a telephone directory!
Although purely conjectural, we can deduce the motivation behind Quintus's naming of his son, for the author Macrobius Ambrosius Theodosius (mostly called Ambrosius) dedicated his work 'De differentiis vel societatibus graeci latinique verbi' to Quintus. Was this a literary sign of the endearing friendship that drives men to name their children after their greatest friends? Indeed, it seems Macrobius was close to the entire family, for he also wrote about Quintus' grandfather – also called Quintus Aurelius Symmachus – in his famous 'Saturnalia.' This Quintus had been a loyal supporter of the British-based Roman emperor Magnus Maximus. Apart from lands in Britain, he also had estates in Italy, Sicily & Mauritania (West Africa). He was also a distinguished author, but little of his work has been translated into English. It is possible that through his connections with the British-based Magnus Maximus he may have even held lands in Britain, but this is pure speculation.
Ewein vab keredic. Pedroc sant. Kynvarch. Edelic. Luip. Clesoeph. Sant. Perun. Saul. Peder. Katwaladyr. Meirchyawn. Margam Amroeth. Gwher. Cornuill. Catwall. Cetweli. Gwrrai. Mur.
Amroeth is a treblechisp away from Ambrosius. We must first shorten the source name to Ambros, secondly we take away a 'b' – Amros – & finally we change the ending, giving us Amroeth. This suggests three different modes of transmission have occurred, with the last one happening in the 14th century, when the Jesus College genealogies were assembled in Middle Welsh. As for Margam, on the borders of Penychen, it was one of seven cantrefs into which the kingdom of Gylwysing divided on the death of Glyws. A number of early Christian crosses inscribed with Roman names were found about Margam, dating from 450AD, firmly supporting a Romano-British presence in the same small area in which Ambrosius was brought up.
Gorlois, Duke of Cornwall, was there, with his wife Igerne, that in beauty did surpass all the other dames of the whole of Britain. And when the King espied her amidst the others, he did suddenly wax so fain of her love that, paying no heed unto none of the others, he turned all his attention only upon her… At last, committing the siege into charge of his familiars, he did entrust himself unto the arts and medicaments of Merlin, and was transformed into the semblance of Gorlois… They then went their way toward Tintagel, and at dusk hour arrived at the castle. The porter, weening that the Duke had arrived, swiftly unmade the doors, and the three were admitted. For what other than Gorlois could it be, seeing that in all things it seemed as if Gorlois himself were there? So the King lay that night with Igerne.
To many, the birth of Arthur at Tintagel is nothing but an old wives tale wrapped up in a fanciful piece of mythmaking, garnished with a slice of magical nonsense. The problem is, most of what we know about Arthur is the creation of medieval writers who added all the romantic trimmings; such as Excalibur, lofty-towered Camelot, the Knights of the Round Table & that most mystical wizard of the court, Merlin. No wonder people nowadays find it hard to believe that he was ever a real person, & all these negative vibes about his actual existence is upsetting the tourist board of Cornwall no end, whose Arthurian tradition is a real money-spinner. Tintagel receives thousands of visitors a year, all wanting to see the place where Arthur was born, but their ears are beginning to ring with the voices of a growing number of media-influenced skeptics scoffing, 'he doesn't exist, you know' or, 'he is actually Scottish, you know.' For the sake of the Cornish Tourist Board, & for good old honest truth, it is time to put all that errant & nonsensical speculation to bed.
More than eight centuries after Big Geoff penned his history, a lovely piece of epigraphical evidence turned up at Tintagel itself, when a massive grass-fire raged across its promontory in 1983. Once the fire had scorched its business, the foundations of several dark-age buildings were uncovered on the promontory, one of which yielded in 1998 an extremely interesting piece of broken slate known now as the Artognou Stone. Upon it was found scribbled a sample of sub-roman 'graffiti' that shall prove to be the key to unlocking the mysteries of King Arthur.
We gain a full account of this Constantine's religious life & martyrdom in the 16th century Aberdeen Breviary, a great tome of a book which contains short lives of the saints upon their particular saint's days. The March 11th entry for St Constantine confirms that his father was 'Paterni Regis Cornubie,' i.e. Paterni, the king of Cornwall, a perfect match to the Paterni of the Artognou Stone. According to Big Geoff, it was a Constantine who succeeded to the high kingship of Britain after the Battle of Camlann, when; 'even the renowned King Arthur himself was wounded deadly, and was borne thence unto the island of Avalon for the healing of his wounds, where he gave up the crown of Britain unto his kinsman Constantine.' If Constantine was Arthur's 'kinsman' then surely his father, the Cornish Paterni, would also have been related to Arthur, which makes Paterni clearly 'Artogenous!' The evidence for Arthur's existence has been there along, but it is only by peering through the kaleidoscopic lens of chispology can it be seen with any true clarity. As for the second name – Coliavi – it can be connected to the Arthurian Birth Certificate through the following babel-chain, where only a hyperthetical 'Cleve' has no record in the annals.
We have already seen how Ambrosius was brought up in Glevesing, a name which philochisps into Glywys as given in the Life of Saint Cadog. Written shortly before 1086 by Lifris of Llancarfan, we read; 'there reigned formerly on the borders of Britain, called Dimetia, a certain regulus, named Glywys, from whom all the country of that district, in all the days of his life, was called Glywysyg.' The name Glywys is a clear philochisp of Big Geoff's Gorlois, the husband of Igerne, tho' in this instance Duke Gorlois is the son of Glywys, i.e. Peder son of Glois. Untangling such threads leads to the conclusion that Arthur was a half, or perhaps step-brother to Constantine, & that Ambrosius Aurelianus – as the adopted brother of Peder son of Glyws – was indeed Arthur's uncle in a rather roundabout way quite reminiscent of the fractured family units of the 21st century. For example, my own half-sister's children class as proper cousins my wife's two daughters from her first marriage.
Another direct connection between Peter & Arthur comes through a lineage of the Kings of Dyfed – i.e. South-West Wales in the Pembrokeshire region – a region which possesses a number of Arthurian references in folklore & topography.
We have seen already how the mother of Arthur's step uncle, Ambrosius Aurelianus, was a princess of Dyfed. Another Arthurian connection to the region can be found in the vita of Saint Padarn (480-550), whose monastery was at Aberystwyth, we are told; 'when Padarn was in his church resting after so much labour at sea, a certain tyrant, Arthur by name, was traversing the regions on either side, who one day came to the cell of saint Padarn the bishop.' That Arthur became a ruler of this lovely corner of the island, known as Menevia in the Dark Ages, is also recorded in a medieval Welsh text known as the Triads of the Island of Britain. This collection of brief triplets contains an enormous amount of historical details, including a great many nods to Arthuriana, which are still being analyzed & harvested for their fruits. One of the most important of these triads depicts Arthur as ruling in three separate areas of the island; at Kelliwic in Cornwall; in Dyfed; & in a later-to-be-ascertained 'Penrhionyd,' somewhere in the north of Britain.
Arthur the Chief Lord at Menevia, and David the chief bishop, and Maelgwyn Gwyned the chief elder.
Arthur the chief lord at Kelliwic in Cornwall, and Bishop Betwini the chief bishop, and Caradawg Vreichvras the chief elder.
It seems the historical King Arthur is slowly, but surely, emerging from the mists. Some of the best evidence dwells deep within the pages of a single book given the rather mundane title of MS Harleian 3859 h. This lovely tome's arrival into the public domain occurred in 1753, when the Duchess of Portland, Margaret Cavendish Bentinck, sold her family library to the United Kingdom for £10,000. She was one of the Harleys, a family of book-loving antiquarians that had over the years collected more than 7,000 manuscripts, 14,000 charters and 500 rolls. Among this rich seam of literary jewels such is Harleian 3859h, a beautifully illuminated book that when it comes to deciphering the Matter of Britain is something of a Rosetta Stone; for it contains two of the oldest historical documents to mentions King Arthur. One of these, the Annales Cambrae, is stuffed full of brief & fascinating entries which record the most memorable moments in Dark-Age Welsh history, with a few non-Welsh happenings chucked in for good measure. I shall now present the most informative entries given for the 6th century, in which we see the historical King Arthur mentioned in two separate entries. Both of these place him at a battlefield; the first being Mount Badon (516) & the second in which he was slain at the fatal fight at Camlann (537).
516: The Battle of Badon, in which Arthur carried the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ for three days and three nights on his shoulders and the Britons were the victors.
537: The battle of Camlann, in which Arthur and Medraut fell: and there was plague in Britain and Ireland.
547: The great mortality in which Maelgwn, king of Gwynedd died. Thus they say 'The long sleep of Maelgwn in the court of Rhos'. Then was the yellow plague.
565: The voyage of Gildas to Ireland.
570: Gildas wisest of Britons died.
580: Gwrgi and Peredur sons of Elifert died.
I, Nennius, a disciple of the holy Elbodugus have taken the trouble to write down some excerpts which the idleness of the people of Briton had caused to be throne aside… I, however, have made a heap of all that I have found, both of the annals of the Romans & of the chronicles of the holy fathers, & from the writings of the Irish & of the English & from the information handed down by the old men of our people.
At that time, the Saxons grew strong by virtue of their large number and increased in power in Britain. Hengist having died, however, his son Octha crossed from the northern part of Britain to the kingdom of Kent and from him are descended the kings of Kent.
Then it was, that the magnanimous Arthur, with all the kings and military force of Britain, fought against the Saxons in those days, but Arthur himself was the Dux Bellorum. And though there were many more noble than himself, yet he was twelve times chosen their commander, and was as often conqueror.
His first battle was at the mouth of the river which is called Glein. His second, third, fourth, and fifth battles were above another river which is called Dubglas and is in the region of Linnuis. The sixth battle was above the river which is called Bassas. The seventh battle was in the forest of Celidon, which the Britons call Cat Coit Celidon. The eighth battle was near the fortress of Guinnion, in which Arthur carried the image of holy Mary ever virgin on his shoulders; and the pagans were put to flight on that day. And through the power of our Lord Jesus Christ and through the power of the blessed Virgin Mary his mother there was great slaughter among them. The ninth was at the City of Legion, which is called Cair Lion. The tenth battle was waged on the banks of a river which is called Tribruit. The eleventh battle was fought on the mountain which is called Agnet. The twelfth was a most severe contest, when Arthur penetrated to the hill of Badon in which there fell in one day 960 men from one charge by Arthur; no one but the Lord affording him assistance. In all these engagements the Britons were successful. For no strength can avail against the will of the Almighty.
And while they were being defeated in all the battles, they were seeking assistance from Germany and their numbers were being augmented many times over without interruption. And they brought over kings from Germany that they might reign over them in Britain, right down to the time in which Ida reigned, who was son of Eobba. He was the first king in Bernicia, i.e., in Berneich.
488: This year Esc succeeded to the kingdom; and was king of the men of Kent twenty-four winters.
Esc was the son of Hengist, the death of whom opens the Twelve Battles chapter in the HB, as in 'Hengist having died, however, his son Octha crossed from the northern part of Britain to the kingdom of Kent and from him are descended the kings of Kent.' Common sense tells us that Esc (a variant name for Ochta) would have inherited the throne upon the death of Hengist, anchoring the early book-end of the Arthurian era in 488.
We are here presented with a direct match to the Battle-List's final sentences, as in; 'they brought over kings from Germany that they might reign over them in Britain, right down to the time in which Ida reigned, who was son of Eobba.' The succession of Ida forms the later book-end of the Arthurian period, which we can now assume took place between 488 & 547. The Annales Cambrae support these dates; by stating Arthur died at Camlann in 537 we narrow things by ten more years, resulting in a final timespan of 488-537.
This same half a century is almost a perfect match for certain shards of broken pottery, coins & glasswork found chiefly at Arthur's birthplace. Known as Tintagelware, they are reliques of goods imported to Britain from the Byzantine Empire during the 5th & 6th centuries. Only last year, archeologists unearthed 150 new pieces & also revealed a series of metre thick 'palace walls.' The chief Brythonic export at that period would have been tin (the Greeks referred to Britain as the Cassiterides or tin-islands), while in return oil & wine poured into the island, contained in the painted clay jars that would one day become the fractured pieces of Tintagelware. According to archeologist Rachael C Barrowman, there was only, 'a comparatively brief importation from the Mediterranean lasting from c.AD 475-c.AD 550 at the most.' Large quantities of Tintagelware has also been discovered at South Cadbury hillfort in Somerset, a site long associated with Arthurian tradition. A 16th century traveler & writer called John Leland recorded; 'at the very south ende of the chirch of South-Cadbyri standith Camallate, sumtyme a famose toun or castelle, upon a very torre or hill, wunderfully enstrengtheid of nature, to the which be 2. enteringes up by very stepe way: one by north est and another by south west… The people can telle nothing ther but that they have hard say that Arture much restorid to Camalat.' South Cadbury is an impressive hill fort in Somerset, a worthy Camelot indeed, & also the site of a grand timber feasting hall thrust up by some powerful leader round about the year 500 AD. The name has its origins in a certain Cador, whom the monk Lifris, in his 'Life of Saint Carantoc,' has ruling side-by-side with Arthur in the West Country; 'in those times Cato and Arthur were reigning in that country, dwelling in Dindraithov.' It is by no great leap of faith to include South Cadbury into a royal system established in the Arthurian period, where palaces & feasting halls were filled with, & placed upon, goods imported from the Mediterranean.
There is one problem that must be overcome. The crux of the case of the Antiarthurians, as I like to call them, is the date given by the Annales Cambrae for the Battle of Badon (516) being plunged into all manners of disrepute by modern scholarship. This rather erroneous supposition begins by misunderstanding a passage in St Gildas, in which is mentioned the 'siege of Badon Hill' (obsessio montis Badonicus); 'from that time on now the citizens, now the enemy, were victorious … right up until the year of the siege of Badon Hill, almost the last, not the least, slaughter of the villains, and this the forty-fourth year begins (as I know) with one month already elapsed, which is also that of my birth.' This means quite simply that Badon was fought in the year in which Gildas was born, & 44 years before he set his pen to paper. If the the Annales Cambrae are accurate, he would have written the above passage roundabout the year 560. This means that in that period, there should exist a certain king called Maglocune, another of five British kings admonished by Gildas alongside Vortipor.
The aforementioned modern scholarship had searched through the 6th century for a man who sounded like Maglocunus, & opted for the Annales Cambrae's Maelwgyn, King of Gwynedd, who died in 547. To support their erroneus babel-chain, they completely ignored the evidence of the Annales Cambrae, & declared that Badon must have been at least fought 44 years earlier – i.e. before 503. Instead, let us retain complete trust in our ancient sources, & begin to look for a Maglocunos as described by Gildas, around the year 560.
For contempt is thrown upon thy first marriage, though after thy violated vow as a monk it was illicit, yet was to be assumed as the marriage of thine own proper wife; another marriage is sought after, not with anybody's widow, but with the beloved wife of a living man; and he not a stranger, but thy brother's son. On this account, that stiff neck, already weighted with many burdens of sins (to wit, a double daring murder, the killing of the husband above named, and the wife that was for a time regarded by thee as thine), is bent down through the extreme excess of thy sacrilegious deed, from lowest crimes to still lower.
Brythonic : A Celtic language spoken by the native Britons of Cornwall. According to the vita of Samson of Dol, Conomerus was a usurper in Brittany, an 'external judge,' after whose defeat & death a certain Iudalus took over his lands in Dumnonia. This old Brythonic kingdom covered the modern West Country counties of Cornwall, Devon, Wiltshire & Somerset. Also important is a 6th century memorial stone found at Fowey in Cornwall, near Castle Dore, said to be the fortress of King Mark. In a medieval Arthurian text known as the Prose Tristan, Castle Dore is said to be sited on the lands of Lancien, which transchispers into the medieval manor of Lantyan on which the stone was found. On it is inscribed 'Drustanus son of Conomori,' a relationship confirmed by the Triads of the Island of Britain, which consider a 'Drystan son of March' as one of the 'Three Peers of Arthur's Court.' The name Drustan is actually Pictish, ie the Dark Age tribe which dwelt in Scotland, which leads us to Mark's next language.
Pictish : Maglocunus easily philochisps into Bede's Meilochon, elsewhere spelt Máelchú, the father of the great Pictish King Bridei as given in the chronicles. Meilochon's powerful status in the north is reflected through his daughter Domlech's marriage to Aedan, King of Dalriada, whose son became a Pictish king. There are also Pictish symbol stones found at Trusty's Hill in Dumfries & Galloway, whose origin could be from the same Drustanus of the Fowey stone, for only a few miles away stands a Dark-Age hillfort called The Mote of Mark.
Old Norwegian : The Dream of Rhonabwy tells us that Prince Mark led a group of men from Llychlyn – i.e. Scandinavia – at the Battle of Badon, turning up as; 'the men of Norway, led by March, son of Meirchyawn.' Big Geoff also places him among the Nordic lands (& Ireland) with; 'Malgo, one of the comeliest men in the whole of Britain, the driver-out of many tyrants, redoubted in arms, more bountiful than others and renowned for prowess beyond compare, yet hateful in the sight of God for his secret vices. He obtained the sovereignty of the whole island, and after many exceeding deadly battles did add unto his dominions the six neighbour islands of the Ocean, to wit, Ireland, Iceland, Gothland, the Orkneys, Norway and Denmark.
The conquest of these widely scattered regions confirms the Gildasian descripton of Maglocune as being the 'dragon of the island,' who dispossessed 'tyrants' of their kingdoms. This combined evidence suggests that Maglocunus was never Maelgwyn Gwynned, but was instead the famous King Mark of Cornwall. Otherwise known as Conomerus, he would have ruled a pan-ocean empire from Norway to Brittany. All this correlates sweetly with one of the medieval Welsh Triads which state that 'March ap Meirchiawn' was one of the 'three seafarers of the island of Britain.' With that, the case for Arthur's existence should be closed, & all it took was to create a hyperchisp – a hypothetical chisper – that turned 'Artognou' into 'Artogenous,' to set the ball rolling, since which occasion all the evidence has slotted into place as easy as leaves grow on a tree.
Nah, I'm still not buying it. Tintagel was not the home of Arthur. It was built too late, same with Glastonbury, it's got nothing to do with Arthur either.
I will keep a mind open to being proved wrong. Some of the other stuff I've read is very convincing, but their again that's the job of the author to support his theory.
Scotland does have a hell of a lot of Arthurian history and ancient battle sites regarding arthur, clans too.
This is a subject I've read over the years, highlighting notes in my books, annals, triads and the likes.
I should really get down to writing, but I've got another project to be working on. This other project is a huge mystery, I'm sure you would thoroughly enjoy working on it.
I tend to form a book on it once all my field work is complete.

The death of a Florida teenager who authorities say was obsessed with the Columbine school shooting and may have planned to carry out her own attack in Colorado did not end an investigation into the 18-year-old, authorities said as they examine whether the young woman acted alone and Denver-area schools prepared to reopen their doors. The body of Sol Pais was discovered in the mountains outside Denver with what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound on Wednesday after investigators got a tip from the driver who took her there, the FBI said. Events planned to mark the anniversary of the 1999 Columbine attack will go on as scheduled throughout the week, including a ceremony near the school on Saturday.
Apple Inc and Qualcomm Inc on Tuesday opened a complex trial with the iPhone maker using a fried chicken analogy to illustrate its claim the chip company is abusing its market power while Qualcomm alleged a years-long plan by Apple to deprive it of billions in revenue, $13 at a time. The fate of Qualcomm's business model, which involves licensing more than 130,000 patents in addition to selling chips, is at stake in the case, which consolidates related lawsuits and countersuits. Apple alleges that Qualcomm's patent practices were an illegal move to maintain a monopoly on the market for premium modem chips that connect smart phones to wireless data networks.

Late yesterday afternoon, members of the Oregon Bus Project announced that they would be reviving plans to create the State of Jefferson.
On November 27, 1941, a group of young men gained national media attention when, brandishing hunting rifles for dramatic effect, they stopped traffic on U.S. Highway 99 south of Yreka, and handed out copies of a Proclamation of Independence, stating that the state of Jefferson was in "patriotic rebellion against the States of California and Oregon" and would continue to "secede every Thursday until further notice."
In solidarity with those long-ago young men, the Oregon Bus Project has announced that on every third Thursday, they'll also be seceding from Oregon and California. Now known as the Jefferson Bus Project, organizers insist that they won't be carrying hunting rifles - but cocktails will be served.
Organizers have yet to name a new capitol, and it's unclear whether the state would be officially designated as either red or blue.
Continue reading "Jefferson State Movement Stirs Anew"
"...but cocktails will be served."
Even if it weren't April 1, anyone who has been on the Bus (and in my case, desperately needed coffee on an early morning ride to Salem) would know this post is a hoax since food and drink aren't allowed.
Big points for whoever comes up with the best state song, state motto, and state animal for the "State of Jefferson."
Eric, I do believe they're serving drinks though at the secession meetings on Third Thursdays. Oddly, info about the State of Jefferson campaign isn't up yet at secretplan.org but I'm sure it will be soon.
YUCK! his tounge is all over the monitor! Anyway, this is a great Idea, and it should be pushed for. Those guys do not get the representation of either state. On the other hand, if we got rid of southern oregon there would be 2 more republican senators in the white house. That would be a sad situation for all of that nuclear crazyness that is allready happening there. They do not need any help.
Most civic leaders don't get stuff named for them until after they die.
Already there is a Mt. Jefferson, a Jefferson Public Radio (with its show the Jefferson Exchange), a large number of Jefferson Streets and Avenues, a classic tv show called "The Jeffersons", and now maybe a State of Jefferson.
This guy really is ahead of his time.
I want to know which rat wink told you about our plan. I know it was you YOCOM.
Godfather allusions are funny. J.E.S.
Kudos: To your investigative reporter. We have prided ourselves on maintaining the secrecy of our grand plans (hence, as hinted above in Knight Templar code -- secretplan.org), but your incisive sleuthing poked an airhole of truth past the veneer of obfuscation and silliness and altruism through to the gushy center of stratagem and self-aggrandizing conspiracy. As my thin-mustachioed spiritual cohorts used to say at the conclusion of Scooby Doo epsidoes..."You pesky kids ruined my plans!"
Historical Note: The campaign for the State of Jefferson gained real steam in 1941, until the attack on Pearl Harbor stole the minds and energy of the American press and the people. (For a nonhumorous recent example of the "attention-switch" phenomenon, look no further than this weekend, when the tragedy of the Pope took the attention off of the Schiavo tragedy. Another example was when the Olympics in 1988 took attention off L.A. Dodger great Orel Hershiser's 59-scoreless innings streak) But with some energy, we could reinvigorate the State of Jefferson campaign.
(1) It would/could lend credence to the "Not left, not right, but forward" credo that I love so much.
(2) We don't know what sort of tectonic shift might happen with the establishment of the State of Jefferson, we also don't what sort of wacky electin system we might use -- perhaps we'd use some sort of Green-instant-runoff/Ringo-nonpartisan/Keisling-open-primary/New-York-Fusion-style voting that would confuse traditional party-ists.
(3) Whatever the result, a small price to pay for a "vanity State" don't you think?


If you are an information technology administrator, then by now, you would have known that Microsoft released Cumulative Update 10 for Exchange Server 2016. This update takes Exchange Server 2016 on version number 15.01.1531.003. These latest updates are available now on the download center. These new updates have addressed many issues of the previous versions which range from issues related to security or quality reported by the customers to updates in functionalities. This Exchange Server update also comes with important changes to installation prerequisites. In today's post, we will talk about the updated prerequisites, details about this version and how to install the update. So, without any more delay, let us start.
However, in this article, I'll focus on installation with the help of GUI.


The chart above shows income sources for African and their European/Western counterparts. The marked difference in revenue sources is a pointer for 2 things from my perspective, one of which is commonly known i.e. the high risk associated with doing business with most African countries and therefore the impact on investor confidence etc.
1.	The High risk of doing business in Africa, causing interest rates to hover between anywhere from 10% - 30% even 50%, depending on your country and who you are taking money from. This is prohibitive for any business to operate profitably at. Interest rates in western world are anywhere between 0.5 - 2.0% at most. This therefore leaves room for businesses in those parts to have a better chance at succeeding. For African businesses, the consumers bear the brunt as businesses have to factor in the cost of money before overheads and profit. Let's not go into taxation (another monster) at this point. Here lies my first opportunity for African-Fintech startups. The almost 80% revenue source from interest rates for African banks breeds complacency and a poor customer centric products. Customers have to keep paying, and paying. The opportunity here for Fin-tech companies is in bringing efficiencies to the system. By lowering the cost of doing business, there is a huge opportunity for start-ups to "steal" clients from the banks. For instance, I see no reason why banks should foray into the business of selling convenience services to their customers (recharge cards, bill payments, etc.). Let's see what is the definition of a Bank. According to Wikipedia, "a bank is a financial institution that accepts deposits from the public and creates credit. Lending activities can be performed either directly or indirectly through capital markets. Due to their importance in the financial stability of a country, banks are highly regulated in most countries". Investopedia defines a bank as "a financial institution licensed to receive deposits and make loans. Banks may also provide financial services, such as wealth management, currency exchange and safe deposit boxes". I therefore fault our regulators for not doing their jobs properly. The excuse of banks foraying into these convenience services sector is that there isn't a "proper system/structure to offer those services to their clients so…" and I say bull! If the banks do their jobs right then they will provide the loans to those whose business it is to provide such services, to be setup properly while the banks earn interests for offering the services! Left to continue unchecked, African banks will start selling pepper and tomatoes within banking halls. They already are hosting fashion and food fairs as well as owning online shopping platforms. Fin-tech firms are not saddled with the heavy overheads of banks and therefore can offer these same services better (if they know what they are doing that is).
African governments have to also do their bit to improve governance and security and therefore bring down the risks of doing business in Africa. This is part of what translates to the high cost of money in Africa…but again, that distracts from the crux of this piece.
2.	The 20% of Banks revenue in Africa coming from fees. Fees for what? Ok…so fees for offering banking related services. This is where Banks in Africa have room to grow! Seeing that Western banks have an almost 50 – 50 split in revenue source between interests income and fees, it is little wonder that those Western Banks remain lenders to our African nations and counterparts while offering a much wider variety of banking related services to their clients. Fin-Tech firms have a huge role in bringing efficiencies in our banking sector by giving the banks a run for their money. On the other hand, banks have a huge investment and money making opportunity in offering better and additional financial services to boost their income. But they choose to play in the areas where they are not supposed to, areas that it is obvious that with their huge cash reserves and profits, makes it easier for them to foray into and setting the stakes even higher for SME's that have their core business in those areas.
I am not saying Fin-Tech firms should become banks, NO! Neither am I saying that Banks should "kill" Fin-Tech firms if they want to survive. Both cannot do without each other…roles just have to be clear and the African regulators have to step up their game. Business opportunities are being taken by banks moving away from traditional banking services which should be their primary focus and main source of income; they are to offer loans and banking services and therefore earn income from doing so and enable Fin-Tech firms support them through the efficiencies they can bring (reducing the cost of convenience while offering better and more efficient customer support services in those areas that our banks are having little success at, yet continue to play therein. It is so easy for a bank to start selling Mobile Phone recharge cards or TV-Subscription services…but so difficult for them to create the risk management tools that will enable them support small business better and ease the process of loan provision so the real sector can flourish even faster!
You guessed right! Voucher Net Limited is in the business of offering convenience services and alternative payment platforms for bills payments. We aim to do it better than the banks in any country we operate because it is our CORE Business. Visit www.vouchernet.com.ng for more details.

Q: Alternative to second-level nested correlated subquery I need an alternative to the following SQL query. The reason being that some earlier versions of Oracle database (prior to 12C, not sure which exactly) don't support the 2nd-level nested correlated subquery, where Oracle 12C does.
select
    a.val1,
    a.val2,
    (
        select /* select the top single-field record from the inner select
                statement */
            *
        from
        (
            select
                b.val1
            from
                tb2 b
            where
                b.val2 < a.val3 and b.val3 = a.val4
            order by
                b.val2 desc /* order by b.val2 desc in order to allow
                                the outer select statement to obtain the
                                largest b.val2 value */
        )
        where rownum = 1
    ) as someName
from
    tb1 a;

A: You can do this using keep:
select a.val1, a.val2,
       (select max(b.val1) keep (dense_rank first order by val2 desc)
        from tb2 b
        where b.val2 < a.val3 and b.val3 = a.val4
       ) as someName
from tb1 a;

keep is powerful syntax in Oracle, which is explained in the documentation.  Essentially, this gets the first value of val1 based on the ordering by val2.  This is very similar to what first_value(val1) over (order by val2 desc)does -- except keep acts as an aggregation function.

A: You can use below query
select a.val1, a.val2, b.val1 from tb1 a
inner join
tb2 b on (b.val2 < a.val3 and b.val3 = a.val4)
order by b.val2 desc;

or
 select a.val1, a.val2, b.val1 from tb1 a
inner join
(select val1 from tb2) b on (b.val2 < a.val3 and b.val3 = a.val4)
order by b.val2 desc;

Let me know in case you face any issues

Longstanding Case against Ethiopian Scientific Colleagues Is Dropped
Ethiopian colleagues pictured here with fellow Zone 9 blogger and mechanical engineer Abel Wabella (left), who was earlier acquitted on terrorism-related charges.
After nearly four years and dozens of trial hearings, the Ethiopian Federal Attorney General, on February 14, 2018, informed computer scientist Befeqadu Hailu and economist Natnael Feleke that spurious charges of incitement to violence, related to their peaceful expressions of dissent, had been dropped. An identical charge, brought against computer scientist Atnaf Berahane, was also withdrawn on February 27.
The men were among a group of nine individuals arrested in April 2014 as a result of articles that they had written as part of the independent blog collective known as Zone 9, a platform for opinion pieces on political repression, corruption and social injustice in Ethiopia. After one and a half years in detention, they, along with mechanical engineer Abel Wabella, were acquitted of terrorism-related charges. Nevertheless, Befeqadu Hailu, Natnael Feleke and Atnaf Berahane continued to face a charge of incitement to violence in connection with their peaceful writings. According to reliable reports, the proceedings in the case were plagued by numerous unexplained adjournments, delayed access to legal counsel, and other procedural irregularities.

Q: Editing a cell in a datagrid and bind to a command in a MVVM .Is this possible I have an application where users are editing rows.
Using MVVM Pattern and wondering if I can hook a command whenever a cell is edited.
Is it possible?
Thanks a lot.

A: If I'm guessing correctly you have a ViewModel for the row, so you could just put some code into the setter for the cell value. What do you want to do with the command?
UPDATE: If you want to track which rows have changed just add an IsModified flag to your row ViewModel and set the flag in every property setter that's editable through your grid. No need for a command.
UPDATE: I've put together a small example to show what I meant.
public class RowViewModel
{
    private bool _IsModified = false;

    private string _FirstName;
    public string FirstName
    {
        get { return _FirstName; }
        set { _FirstName = value; _IsModified = true; }
    }

    private string _LastName;
    public string LastName
    {
        get { return _LastName; }
        set { _LastName = value; _IsModified = true; }
    }
}


Driven in equal parts by regulation, litigation, and new levels of public awareness, today's companies are working harder than ever to ensure that they are prepared to manage the many communication dimensions of a product recall.
With the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) now on the books, companies are not only liable for the problems that led to a recall but for the effectiveness of the recall itself. Under the law, strict penalties can be imposed if regulators sense that a company has fallen short of its responsibility to notify consumers and ensure that dangerous products are retrieved in a timely fashion. Should the government find fault with a recall, it's a safe bet that the plaintiffs' bar — armed with regulators' findings — won't be far behind. Add the brand damage that can be incurred when consumer anxiety has been stoked by numerous high-profile recalls of toys, baby formula, pet food, and a host of other products, and the need for advancement in recall communications is readily apparent.
It comes as little surprise that companies are increasingly turning to social media to limit legal risk and maintain consumer loyalty when a product liability crisis arises. From Toyota to Similac, crisis teams are learning from the online successes enjoyed by their counterparts in the marketing and brand management departments and leveraging that knowledge into recall solutions that communicate concern for, commitment to, and action on behalf their consumers.
Of course, there is more to integrating social media into recall communications than a Facebook update and a well-timed tweet. The following five tips will help ensure that companies maximize the potential of social media to protect consumers and their brands in the midst of any product recall situation.
Before a recall ever materializes, the team responsible for managing it must sit down to develop a plan. What are the company's most likely recall scenarios and what keywords will consumers use to search for information? Which social media content channels will be utilized for outreach and who will be monitoring those channels? How will messages and responses be approved prior to posting? The quickness with which information must be shared demands that these questions be answered well in advance of a recall. Companies should also prepare templates for web content that can go live on the corporate website, blog, and social media profiles the moment they are needed.
Today's consumers are as informed as ever and will likely hear about a recall the moment it is announced. Further, as with so many industries, a push to put data and tools on mobile devices means consumers will have access to information anywhere.
For example, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) have released a new mobile app that enables consumers to access up-to-the-minute information on product recalls directly from the retail store aisles.
The same savvy consumers who take advantage of mobile technology will likely be the most outspoken and the most apt to connect online. They will turn to the company's website or social media profiles to find out the specifics of the recall and to provide commentary of their own. Before this crucial early adopter/early responder audience begins researching and posting about a recall, it is important that information about the recall be readily available. Without your information, consumers will be left to make their own determinations — which could have dangerous consequences on both their safety and the trust they put in your company.
Anyone can post and disseminate information — or misinformation — about a recall. It is important that Facebook updates, tweets, and other recall-related social media activity serve as a portals to facts and good information sources. This means using social media to link back to the corporate website or another venue where the company has total control over the messaging.
Once the online conversation surrounding a recall gets going, users will likely be posting their own remedies to corporate social media profiles. While their intentions might be good, their tips might not comport with company policy or instructions from federal regulators. Thus, it is essential to ensure that users understand that solutions officially prescribed by the company can only be found on an official corporate website.
Never assume that a single Facebook post or tweet telling consumers where to go for information is enough.
Content gets buried quickly on social media. Make sure that you repost and update often enough to keep your messages up top and easily within view of the people who need to access them.
Even after the majority of recalled product has been accounted for and the surrounding anxiety has seemingly died down, continue to monitor social media for signs that consumers are experiencing problems. While recall news spreads quickly in today's media-driven marketplace, there will be those who haven't yet taken all the necessary steps to protect themselves or return affected products. By remaining vigilant, companies further ensure that every consumer who needs assistance gets it. It will say a great deal about that company's commitment to consumer safety.

O segundo problema foi que sua variável meses no for estava com um $ na frente.
fiz as correções e melhorias veja se funciona.

David Haye has warned his protege George Groves that Paul Smith will be a harder fight for him than James DeGale was in May.
Groves was impressive in edging the Olympic gold medalist via majority decision at the O2 Arena in London earlier this year to add the British super-middleweight title to his own Commonwealth belt.
Now he defends those titles against ex-British champion Smith at Wembley Arena and former WBA heavyweight champion Haye - Groves' mentor, friend and former training partner and promoter - has warned the unbeaten 23-year-old to beware his Liverpudlian opponent.
Recently-retired Haye said: 'I'll be at Wembley for the fight. It is a big test for George but if he can transfer what he's been doing in the gym he'll have a good night.
Groves sees things differently, though.
'It's more of a 'fight' fight, it's going to be more physical,' he said. 'I don't for one second think Paul Smith is as good as James DeGale or will pose as many problems as James DeGale did but he's going to be a tough task for me. It's one I definitely can't take lightly.
'For me, it's important to win this fight and win it well. I've got to win it in style and as well as I can do. I put a lot of pressure on myself in that respect. But there's never a question of me losing my '0'.

Saturday February 10th 1883 It was ten oclock when we got through breakfast. Charlie and Mother went to the valley and I had my hands full to get the house in any kind of order and get the dinner. May Lathrop spent the day here. Hatt was over a while in the afternoon and Kate went over there before she started home on the afternoon train. Chas did not come over home again but went on the same train with Kate. I was over to Folsoms late in the afternoon. We all went to bed early tonight. Sunday February 11th 1883 I was busy all the forenoon about the work. Otto had company for dinner. I wrote a long letter to Will in the afternoon and in the evening read in a book I had just begun. Weather cold and wintry.


Adobe has announced a new "self-service" technology that it claims is the industry's most advanced programmatic ad platform for advertisers and media publishers leveraging fully integrated solutions in Adobe Marketing Cloud.
The technology, which is part of Adobe Marketing Cloud and Adobe Media Optimizer, lets advertisers take direct control of automated ad buying for search, display and social media across ad exchanges and media networks.
Adobe said Google, Facebook, Yahoo, Rubicon Project and Index Exchange are among its media-network partners.
The platform aims to provide "full transparency into media costs, ad performance and revenue" and will be integrated with Adobe's analytics and audience manager.
"Transparency is the key to success in the programmatic world, as automation is rapidly defining the buying and selling of digital ads," Justin Merickel, senior director of advertising solutions at Adobe, said in a release. "Advertisers are demanding more real-time insight into campaign spend and ROI."
Global programmatic ad spend is expected to reach $53 billion by 2018, according to Adobe, which said it is focused on integrating disparate technologies and "delivering programmatic capabilities in a unified platform."
A holistic view of Adobe's digital marketing offering.
Adobe also announced its programmatic offering for media publishers, broadcasters and pay TV as a beta. Adobe Primetime offers media sellers the ability to sell video ad inventory across screens.
"Adobe is addressing some major industry pain points with its programmatic platform from connecting technology and data siloes to solving for scalability and transparency across campaign channels," said Stephan Beringer, CEO of the VivaKi Operating System (VOS). "It's increasingly difficult to track when, where and how digital ads are performing, but marketers are demanding more accountability."


While some may scoff at using Dreamweaver for a text editor, I love it. The one standout annoyance is when attempting to type the width property in a CSS file. Thanks to the useless (at this point any way due to browser support) widows property, I have to type all the way to the t before Dreamweaver knows what I'm after. Being trigger happy on the enter key doesn't help. Curses to alphabetical sequences. Perhaps other text editors fall victim to the same issue. There is a tag library editor in the preferences but it is just that, a tag library, not a property library. Or I'm an idiot and just couldn't find CSS properties in there.
Alas, it can be fixed the long way. Given Dreamweaver needs some document to tell it what properties to choose from, I looked inside the application folder. On a Windows install, in Configuration/CodeHints there is a file named CodeHints.xml. Open this up in Dreamweaver and a search for "widows" turns up two instances. The second of which is the important one (line 5703). This is the line that declares where in the code hints menu widows falls. The next line is for width – rightly so by alphabet, not so right by usefulness. Rather than delete 5703 all together, I moved the width menuitem to be the first of the w's – above white-space.
Now pressing w within a CSS declaration instantly chooses width. I'm going to be saving so much time. Maybe even enough to make up for that spent typing up this bit.
Good call. I've never noticed this myself, but that's a great solution.


Paulo Fonseca wore the face of a distraught man in his post match press conference, after a damaging 1-0 defeat at Academica. With just one win in six matches, Porto's manager is starting to feel the pressure and demands of managing one of the Primeira Liga's giants. Porto's poor form may be a worrying trend for those entrenched in the club, but for neutrals, the title race potentially could match the excitement and drama of last season's title race. The only difference being, unlike last season's duel between Porto and Benfica, there is now a third contender. Sporting.
Porto's hegemony in Portuguese football has delivered nine league titles, five Taça de Portugal's, a Europa League and a Champions League triumph in eleven years. Their dominance is under threat though, as the other two members of 'Os Três Grandes' are striking back. Fonseca, who led Paços de Ferreira to third in the table last season, has found similarly to his predecessor Vítor Pereira, that the shadow of André Villas-Boas still looms large at the Estádio do Dragão. Despite winning successive championships, Pereira failed to win over the fans and the board. Fonseca looks to be in a similar position.
Sporting had a desperate campaign last year, finishing in seventh position in the league, the worst finish in their 107 year history. The damage was essentially done in the early months of the season, the 'Leões' winning only two of their first twelve league matches. After twenty games Sporting were languishing in eleventh place, thirty points behind the joint league leaders Porto and Benfica. Between the summer of 2011 and March 2013, Sporting signed 26 players and discarded five coaches. Ricardo Sá Pinto was sacked in October, while his replacement Franky Vercauteren lasted five months.
The bright shoots of hope were planted by the willy Jesualdo Ferreira, who decided to return to the philosophy of bringing through young players into the first team. The famed Sporting academy, which produced Luís Figo, Cristiano Ronaldo and João Moutinho, had been ignored by a succession of Sporting coaches. A 1-0 defeat at Marítimo sparked the decision, and teenagers Bruma, Tiago Ilori and Eric Dier were thrown in the starting eleven against Gil Vicente. Bruma and Ilori scored in a 3-2 win and Sporting gradually improved, leaving a season of ignominy with some promise for the future.
In May, Ferreira's contract was not renewed and their wonderkid Bruma was sold to Galatasaray. Former Braga and Olympiakos coach Leonardo Jardim was appointed, and the 39 year-old has sought to continue the good work of Ferreira. Academy products Wilson Eduardo, André Martins and Wilson Eduardo have become integral cogs in the side, while Englishman Eric Dier continues to impress. William Carvalho has also been a revelation in midfield, winning his first Portuguese international cap during the second leg of the World Cup play-off with Sweden. Jardim's shrewdest decision has been the signing of the Colombian striker Fredy Montero on loan from Seattle Sounders. His signing has been a masterstroke. The 26 year-old has 14 goals in 11 games, including a hat-trick on his debut against Arouca and the opener in the 1-1 draw with Lisbon rivals Benfica. Sporting lead the championship with 26 points. They have scored 28 goals and conceded only 8. Their only league defeat was a 3-1 loss away to Porto and they have since responded with three wins. The acrimonious nature of last season has been followed with the youthful enthusiasm of this season.
Least we forget Benfica. Three defeats in two weeks in May spoilt an otherwise historic campaign for 'the eagles', as they went 28 league games unbeaten and reached a cup and Europa League final. The last gasp defeats to Porto and Chelsea, coupled with the Taça final defeat to Vitória presumably made for a long summer of reflection for those associated with the Lisbon giants. Defeat at Marítimo would not have improved their mood, but Jorge Jesus' men have responded domestically, winning seven and drawing two. The precociously talented Lazar Markovic has settled in well, while Nemanja Matić has developed into a towering midfield presence. While the football may not be as thrilling, there is a grit and determination coursing through the side. It seems that the Lisbon side, similarly to Bayern Munich's response last year to their heartbreaking 2012 season, are driven by a desire to make things right. The victory over Gil Vicente, where they overturned a one goal deficit with two injury time goals, was the primary example of that.
Benfica trail Sporting on goal difference only, while Porto are two points behind. The early indications suggest that all three sides will be battling for domestic honours all the way until May. Porto and Benfica could potentially drop into the Europa League, as they both look likely to finish third in their Champions League groups. Thursday and Sunday football will have to be successfully managed by both. This could be where Sporting may have an advantage. Without the distraction of Europe, Jardim's side can focus solely on the title race. It is clear that the revitalised Lisbon giants have Portugal's top two in their sights. Or possibly, in their rear view mirror.

La Sputnik Planitia è una struttura geologica della superficie di Plutone.

È stata la prima planitia identificata su Plutone.

Composizione
Sputnik Planitia, situata nel lobo occidentale del Cuore, è un bacino di 1.000 chilometri composto da azoto e monossido di carbonio ghiacciati, suddiviso in cellule poligonali del diametro di circa 33 km, che presenta segni evidenti di flussi glaciali sia dentro che fuori dal bacino. La New Horizons in questa zona non ha rilevato crateri, il che suggerisce che la sua superficie abbia meno di 10 milioni di anni; gli ultimi studi suggeriscono che la superficie abbia un'età di  anni. Il team scientifico della New Horizons ha affermato che Plutone mostra una varietà sorprendentemente ampia di forme geologiche, comprese quelle derivanti da fenomeni glaciologici, tettonici, interazioni tra superficie e atmosfera, impatti, possibili processi criovolcanici e movimenti di massa.

Dune trasversali di Sputnik Planitia
Nella parte occidentale di Sputnik Planitia ci sono zone di dune trasversali formate dai venti che soffiano dal centro del bacino in direzione delle montagne circostanti. La lunghezza delle dune è compresa tra 0,4–1 km e sono probabilmente costituite da particelle di metano della grandezza di 200-300 μm.

Orografia e presenza di ghiaccio d'acqua
La New Horizons ha rilevato presenza di ghiaccio d'acqua sulla superficie di Plutone, e la Sputnik Planitia, insieme alla Virgil Fossa, è la zona dove la concentrazione è maggiore, infatti in tutta la Tombaugh Regio, ma soprattutto nella Planitia, ci sono montagne di ghiaccio d'acqua alte fino a 3500 metri.

Was going to college the other morning. It's just like any other morning but the past week had been exceptionally tired with all the final projects. Saw too kids playing around and something happened and the elder kid(around 5 years old I guess) tried to stab the other kid with a pencil which I grabbed his hand(it's a miracle feat, believe me! I am real tired then so to move that quick is already something impossible). How I bullied the kid? Take a guess. Ok! Ok! I didn't wack that kid till he is lying sprawled in a pool of blood. I took away the pencil. It's still with me just in case he decides to stab the other kid till kingdom come. Which parents in their right minds would let their kids run around with a pencil. Yes, you mar argue that it's good to start kids on writing and drawing at that age, but is that situation right? Letting them run around playing with a pencil? You guys might better let them have a real gun so they can practice to be the next olympic shooter.
I wonder what will happen if I had not stopped the kid(or should I better rephrase that as failed to do what I did). Kids doesn't know the consequences of their actions. Some may argue even adults are the same(point proven on the kids parents. Maybe it's a case of "bapa borek, anak rintik"monkey see, monkey do and mind my bahasa because I gave it back to my teachers long ago). Anyway I have an extra 2B pencil now which I plan to return it to the parents(reads "stab on their hands or god knows where it hurts most").
I went into class with that pencil and told my friend what happened. I said I wouldn't let my kids run around with a pencil that way. My lecturer who overheard the conversation asked me not to be so sure yet. Things might not happen that way. Maybe it does bear some truth there. Just the other day, I was in a discussion(reads arguement) with a friend on how the parents should teach their kids. This friend said he saw the mum slapped the son and when the son tries to get comfort from the dad, the kid got another session of screwing. My friend feels it's just wrong.
Let's get into our logical mind(bear in mind I am not a parent myself yet but it's debatable that I don't know how to teach the kids because I know what I wanted as a child) and get something clear about the situation and the consequences. Below are the scenarios of what could happen. You guys should continue with your imagination.
Dad : piak! "Serve you right! Who ask you naughty?"
Dad : Sayang ah. Don't naughty next time. Come daddy buy Ice cream for you. Don't cry ah.
Dad to himself : Haih. Why I so stupid side that small kid. See la now. Sleep in toilet liao tonight.
Mum to herself : Wuahahaha! Whole bed to myself!!!
Son to dad : Daddy what are you doing in the bath tub with your pillow?

Q: How to use Uri function properly in Flutter? Difference between Uri and Url I am confused with the URL and Uri in dart/flutter.
I created this function to be used in my PDF viewer.
static Future<File> loadNetwork(String url) async {
    final response = await http.get(Uri.parse(url));
    final bytes = response.bodyBytes;

    return _storeFile(url, bytes);
  }

and I want to call this function to display the specific PDF after clicking a button.
  onTap: () async {
                            setState(() {
                            isLoading = true;
                               });
                            final url = 'http://www.africau.edu/images/default/sample.pdf';
                            final file = await PDFApi.loadNetwork(url);
                            openPDF(context, file);
                            setState(() {
                            isLoading = false;
                               });
                          },

But, still, how do I properly use the Uri and fetch the pdf link. There is an error and I suspect I am using the function wrongly.
It says invalid internet address.

Thanks!

A: To convert a url to Uri use Uri.parse("url here")

Almost every scary movie includes scenes where fear is enhanced through what we see (or think we see) lurking in the shadows. Shadows are the embodiment of the fear of the unknown. In Yash Chopra's 1993 psychological thriller Darr: A Violent Love Story, that which lurks in the shadows begins to reach out.
Love can be dangerous, brutal and obsessive. That's what Yash Chopra told us in Darr. An emotion, which on celluloid was always presented in its purest form, suddenly got an obsessive twist in Darr. Shah Rukh Khan's first film with Chopra (Yash Chopra started working with SRK in all his films thereon) saw him playing an obsessive lover to Kiran Awasthi (Juhi Chawla) who was married to Sunil Malhotra (Sunny Deol) in the film. The music was fresh and SRK's psycho lover act made the audience gape in awe at the new actor.
Kiran is adored by Sunil and an unnoticed admirer who we know to be Rahul Mehra (Shah Rukh Khan), a college classmate and the son of Sunil's boss. Unknown, unloved, and unstable, Rahul lurks in the shadows pining after Kiran, convinced she belongs to him. At the beginning of Darr, we are told that "when love crosses limits, it becomes devotion. And when devotion goes astray, it becomes an obsession."
Shadows and light go hand-in-hand. The more intense the light, the darker the shadow. To Rahul, Kiran is a very intense light to which he is irresistibly drawn. Rahul describes Kiran as "so beautiful that one is scared to even to look at her to their heart's content." He feels he is the only one who truly understands Kiran. He tells her that Sunil "doesn't even understand that you won't be happy in a concrete flat. ...You've to stay in a house where there are no walls, but layers of brightness and darkness."
Rahul must step out of the shadows and bask in the light of Kiran, the light that allows him to exist. "If you take away even one thing from me, what will happen to me?" he asks her. Each time Rahul steps out of the shadow, he does so with aim and purpose while managing to hide his identity. After one nearly fatal incident (which he caused), Rahul visits Sunil in the hospital, shakes his hand, and tells him to beware of his unknown enemy's next attack.
As Rahul's disturbing actions increase, Kiran becomes anxious. She is fearful of this unknown intruder who could be lurking nearby, ready to terrorize her again at any moment. As Kiran's protector, Sunil doesn't fully understand how dark a shadow Rahul has cast on her life, or what really lurks in that shadow.
Because Rahul lives in a world of shadows, no one -- not even his father -- understands how far into the darkness he has gone. Rahul is deeply devoted to Kiran. His life revolves around her. But Rahul loves without understanding what love is. He loves the image of Kiran without truly understanding the person.
When he overhears Sunil tell Kiran, "There isn't enough space between the two of us that some third person could creep in," Rahul decides to take action. That action causes much pain and suffering for Kiran but it is not within Rahul's nature to understand the devastation he leaves in his wake. While he extends the reach of his shadow, he begins to extinguish the light in her life.
At some point Rahul seems to enjoy the cat-and-mouse game he is playing with Kiran and Sunil. It gives his life additional meaning and purpose. But when Sunil finally - and violently - confronts him about the truth, Rahul says, "How can you kill someone who is already dead?"
Near the end of the film, Rahul again tells Kiran he loves her saying, "My life began with your love and ended with your love." But because he is so dependent on Kiran's light, his life must always be that of a shadow.
"The biggest desire of every human being is to be loved. Loved more and more. Again and again ... I don't make romantic films ... I make my films. I make films of human relations. A human being is a very complex creature. There are no villains in my romantic movies. I believe a man is a hero and a villain. Destiny makes you and ruins you. I decide to love someone and that becomes my choice. It could be right or wrong."
Rahul is a tragic villain. His love is deep, but destiny forbids him from getting the girl. While he knows what he is doing is wrong, he cannot stop himself. As you watch the story unfold, you hold onto hope that Rahul can be redeemed in some way. But he is obsessed - and his obsession is his undoing.
The closer he comes to the light, the darker this shadow becomes.
"Hrithik and me were seeing a movie once, a very less known movie called Dead Calm. And we saw the video of that film and we decided to make Adi [Aditya Chopra] see, just to show a very good film. Adi saw that film and he loved it instantly. That is the inspiration for Darr which came about. And in fact, the title Darr is the title Hrithik had kept for a movie that he had made, an amateur film which he had actually shot. It was Hrithik's title and when Adi decided on making this film, he told Hrithik that "I'm gonna use this title because it suits very well."

I just downloaded Camino from the moz ftp server and paused the download, causing the file icon shown in the download instance view to go blank. Looks bad. Nick care to see what's going on?
It's been like that ever since we landed pause/resume downloading, we switch to a Finished ProgressView, that is why the icon does not show up.
Ok I see, still seems like a bad thing to do. Any chance we can remember the icon when switching to the finished view?
We could do this, it would result in changing the .nib, I suggest we discuss this further with mike, simon, and some others before acting on.
Maybe we should fix this for 1.0. It feels weird.
