Reed Reviews A Poets' War
A recent excursion to a local university afforded me the opportunity to access a database I wouldn't normally have access to: the Sunday Times. Reed appears less frequently than you might expect, and mostly late in his career: a few scattered book reviews between 1965 and 1970.
Here we have a prime example of why you wouldn't want Henry Reed to review your book. He simply disassembles the author, Hugh D. Ford, and then settles in to attack his book, A Poets' War: British Poets and the Spanish Civil War (1965), and wraps up with a quick assay of the subject matter:
Spain, '36-'39: no art out of war
A POET'S WAR: British Poets and the Spanish Civil War
by Hugh D Ford/Oxford, for the University of Philadelphia 48s
By Henry Reed
ONE of the major traditions in the English departments of American universities is the ritual production, by advanced students, of a PhD thesis. It is a further tradition, only rarely broken with, that the basic subject of the thesis shall be of microscopic dimensions and even smaller importance; the test for the student appears to be how far he can make it stretch, either by irrelevant digression, or by simple repetition. All being well, his thesis is accepted, the PhD achieved.
By this time the ex-student has become an obsessional: after a little pause he returns to his subject, and decides that a few extra chapters might not come amiss. He adds not only these, but also a forty-page bibliography consisting largely of books unreferred to in the text, and a three-page preface giving separate thanks to pretty well everyone he has met since the age of five, ending with his wife, whom he refers to in expressions of tender gratitude which must sometimes come as rather a surprise to her. The result is a book.
Mr Ford gives us a book. Of the two stretching-methods I have referred to, Mr Ford prefers simple repetition. The basic materials he selects are, after all, extremely scanty: two dozen or more inoffensive poems about the Spanish Civil War, few of them with any particular merit, and many by names that have never been seen outside the journals of the time. These writers are of course fairly distinct from each other: all they have in common, apart from their allegiance to the Republicans, is an incapacity for memorable speech. Most of their authors would probably not even bother to own the poems by now. Yet Mr Ford contrives to blur any distinctness that may be discovered in them, by ruthlessly submitting to each and every one of them the same examination paper.
He conducts this as a viva voce with no replies allowed except his own: Is such-and-such a poet sacrificing personal sincerity to politics? Is he writing propaganda? Doesn't the reference to so-and-so in stanza two introduce too personal a note if complete identification with Communism is the aim? I can't believe that anyone can possibly care about this. There are roughly 150 pages of it; and the unfortunate poems are up to the neck in it.
From the later stages of this morass, which grows denser with repetition, there rise up with an unexpected look of genuine durability about a dozen poems by names well known before the war in Spain. These include Auden's "Spain," which its author has recently described in print as "trash," half a dozen well-controlled poems by Spender, a few pages of deceptively casual vividness by MacNeice, three or four lyrics by Herbert Read, and Day Lewis's narrative poem "The Nabara."
These poems, and possibly a few others, have survived the epoch in which they were written, and this, I gather, Mr Ford, after much cautious mumbling and bumbling, concedes. Some of them—Spender's subdued elegies, for examples—seem in some odd way better than they did when they first appeared. There seems no point in re-inserting any of these distinguished works into their historical context; just as, in reverse, there seems no longer any point in isolating the Spanish War from the years of ever-spreading Fascism that led to it, and the world war which Franco's success perhaps made inevitable. To those who followed its fortunes, the Spanish War had a particularly sharp and saddening taste, which we may on occasion suddenly recall: a true imaginative and creative gesture might still be made from memory of it. But on the subject of the gestures made at the time, half a dozen succinct pages should by now be enough.
Robin Skelton reports that W.H. Auden referred to his own Spanish Civil War poems as 'trash' in the preface to Poetry of the Thirties (Harmondsworth, England: Penguin, 1964). This issue of the Sunday Times also contains a review of Vincent Brome's The International Brigades: Spain 1936-1939, by Stephen Spender.

New Zealand 6-307 (Ross Taylor 129, Kane Williamson 45, Corey Anderson 38, Tino Best 2-66) vs. West Indies.
The star middle order batsman of New Zealand, Ross Taylor, continued with his blistering form and plundered another ton in the second Test against West Indies.
The Black Caps powered 307 runs for the loss of six wickets in 90 overs.
The second Test of the three match series commenced on Wednesday, December 11, 2013, at Basin Reserve, Wellington.
Earlier, Darren Sammy won the toss for the visitors and invited the home side for batting. The decision paid off when the Caribbeans got rid of the Black Caps openers at 24 as Ross Taylor joined in with Kane Williamson. The first had a lucky break when he was dropped at 0 and survived a review three overs later whereas his partner kept on consolidating at the other end.
The duo took the score to 112 when Williamson lost his wicket for 45 and was replaced by his skipper, Brendon McCullum. Taylor went past his fifty in the process and McCullum opted to attack the rival bowling. The fourth wicket partnership was disassociated at 189 when McCullum was gone for 37. Corey Anderson walked in next and continued the consolidation process but surrendered his wicket for 38.
Ross Taylor smashed his 10th Test century with a single, was dropped at 122 runs again and was finally dismissed for 129 off 227 balls with 15 fours. The Kiwis piled up 307 with four wickets in hand at the end of the 90th over when play was called off for the day.
Tino Best was the main wicket taker with two whereas Shannon Gabriel, Darren Sammy, Shane Shillingford and Narsingh Deonarine shared one wicket each.
New Zealand has started the game in a commanding manner and an addition of 75-100 runs to the total will put them on top.


Any criminal conviction can lead to serious consequences for any California resident. But, for non-citizens living in California, a criminal conviction can leave them facing the possibility of deportation. Unfortunately, many non-citizens in this situation wind up getting deported because they don't know that a run-in with the law can lead to a deportation. To make things more fair, the State of California enacted Penal Code 1016.5, a law that requires the court to inform defendants that a criminal conviction can lead to deportation.
If you or a loved one are a non-citizen residing in California who's facing a criminal charge, contact an OC defense lawyer at Law Office of Michael L. Guisti. You can reach us at (888) 478-8999.
"If you are not a citizen, you are hereby advised that conviction of the offense for which you have been charged may have the consequences of deportation, exclusion from admission to the United States, or denial of naturalization pursuant to the laws of the United States."
What Does PC 1016.5 Do For Non-Citizens in Orange County?
If the court doesn't have a record of someone being advised of deportation consequences of a guilty or no contest plea, a strong defense attorney will be able to show that you weren't advised of your rights under PC 1016.5. This could help you stay in the country.
The last example is the most complex. To show that you were prejudiced by not being advised of your immigration status of a guilty plea, you'll need to prove that you would've entered a different plea if you knew the immigration consequences of your situation. There is no time limit to file a motion to vacate a judgment, but contacting an experienced attorney immediately is best.
Anyone facing immigration problems because of a criminal conviction needs the help of a strong defense attorney. Law Office of Michael L. Guisti have helped many people stay in the U.S. Let us help you. Contact us today at (714) 530-9690 or (888) 478-8999.

Ottawa police urge Muslim women to report any abuse - Macleans.ca
Ottawa police urge Muslim women to report any abuse
'In recent days, female members of Ottawa's Muslim community have voiced concerns about safety, following incidents of verbal abuse towards them — by strangers'
by Colin Perkel, The Canadian Press
TORONTO – A series of incidents against Muslim women in Ottawa has prompted the city's police to issue an appeal to others who may have been victimized to come forward.
In an email this week to members of the Muslim community, Staff-Sgt. David Zackrias urged the reporting of all forms of abuse.
"In recent days, female members of Ottawa's Muslim community have voiced concerns about safety, following incidents of verbal abuse towards them — by strangers," Zackrias states.
"If these types of incidents are not reported, little can be done to help other members of the community from also being victimized."
The memo comes amid an intense and divisive election campaign debate over the niqab, a veil some Muslim women wear. Conservative Leader Stephen Harper and Bloc Quebecois Leader Gilles Duceppe have expressed their antipathy toward the niqab on the campaign trail.
NDP Leader Tom Mulcair, however, has backed the right of women to where what they want — a stance that polls suggest has cost him support in Quebec. Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau also supports a women's right to choose.
Zackrias, who works in the diversity and race relations section of the police service, said in an interview from Ottawa on Friday that police had received six reports of problems in the past few weeks.
"There's racial slurs, profanity," Zackrias said. "We're letting the community know if there are any sort of threats or intimidation or abuse they should be reporting."
He said he had no details readily available, but police had not opened any formal investigations or made any arrests at this point.
Toronto police said they were not aware of any similar incidents in their city but Muslims across Canada have complained in recent weeks about problems.
In one nasty incident, a pair of teens tore the headscarf from a pregnant woman in Montreal, causing her to fall on the ground. The attack prompted the Quebec national assembly to pass a unanimous motion Thursday condemning hate speech and violence against all Quebecers.
The National Council of Canadian Muslims called that assault a hate crime, saying it came at a time when "inflammatory rhetoric targeting Muslims" had been heightened by the federal election campaign in which women who wear the niqab have been "vilified by politicians."
At a recent conference on race relations in Winnipeg, one Muslim woman said people look at her like she's an alien because of her hijab.

Today I was running up Cleveland street with my stroller full of nursing school books, raw food lunch, and business clothes so I could go to work after meeting with my nursing informatics small group. I was listening to the Wood Brothers song, Chocolate on my tongue. It was a beautiful 50 degrees. Perfect after so many 20 degree, ice on the sidewalk, no you're not gonna run so don't even think about it, days. The sun was shining. This is life at its most joyful.
I was near the top of Cleveland Street. It's one of the most intense hills in Fayetteville and I run up it every day on the way to school and work. So being near the top is pure bliss. Singing along with the Wood Brothers, "if I die young, at least I'll have some chocolate on my tongue." I can't stop smiling. And I think of my dad a month before he died. We were all visiting him in Texas. Somebody had brought him a chocolate cake for his birthday. He didn't bother using a fork, he was scooping the icing up off the cake with his thumb. Loving it. Seriously loving it.
Still smiling and crying simultaneously, cresting the top of Cleveland Street, I realize that today is the anniversary of his death. So grateful for a visitation.
I love your garlic picture. I counted my garlic in my garden today and of the 95 that I planted 89 have come up and I'm hoping the other 6 come up too.
Awesome Michael. I am in the unfortunate position of having planted my garlic and not marked it. I know I have a bunch. I hope I don't try to plant anything on top of it. I think it's amazing that 89 bulbs survived those extreme cold temperatures eh? Hardy stuff.


Livestock birthing exhibits can be a meaningful experience for visitors of all ages. However, it is important for organizers and attendees to know that many animals, such as goats, sheep, and cattle, can have diseases that make people sick. Q fever is one of these diseases, making it important for heightened awareness for animal birthing center operators and guests.


El Amiriya was a pre–World War II airfield, first used in 1917. During World War II, the station was also referred to as Landing Grounds 85 - 99, 154 and 171-175. During World War II, it was used as a military airfield by the Royal Air Force and the United States Army Air Forces during the North African Campaign against Axis forces.
After the war, the airfield appears to have been closed about 1946. Today, the area is abandoned with various concrete parts of the station still in evidence when viewed by aerial photography.

The story of Kesari is based on one of the bravest battles that India ever fought – the Battle of Saragarhi. This is a real-life story. It is this bunch of cheeky but lovable rogues that Ishar Singh (Akshay Kumar) leads into the battle when an army of 10,000 Afghani Pathans turn up at Saragarhi on the 12th of Sept 1897. It is now 21 Sikhs vs 10,000 Afghans on the battlefield. The movie reveals the story that many are unaware of.
Kesari sets box office on fire on its first day itself. The movie collected 21.50 cr at the box office.

A while back, I won a Mama Stellato pattern, from a giveaway on The Train to Crazy. As I was browsing through her etsy shop, I realized… hmm, these are pretty much all girl patterns. I entered the giveaway anyway, thinking I would never win, but lo and behold – I did! I think I seriously shrieked out loud when I saw that I had won!
I ended up choosing The Charlotte Dress pattern and made one for each of my nieces for my upcycled Christmas.
First of all, this pattern was incredibly easy to follow. It was quick and simple (though I won't tell you how long it actually took me, from start to finish… it's shameful how long the pieces sat, cut, ready to be sewn), and includes color photos that help you follow her clear, step-by-step instructions. You also do not need a serger for this pattern (though I did use one for the construction of the main body of the dress).
The dresses were all made from some vintage thrifted sheets, along with some extra fabric I had lying around to make the sashes. I love the non-matching sashes. I made three different sizes (the pattern goes from 6mos. – 5T), and they seriously practically sewed themselves together, they were so easy. Especially when using the already hemmed edges of a sheet – easy peasy, lemon squeezy.
I made the dresses in hopefully the correct sizes for my little niecies to wear in the spring, since the fabric is not quite so wintery, and none of them live in summery climates.
It was so fun to do some little girl sewing in my boy-dominated world!
These look great! I love that you upcycled the sheets!


Cameroonian composer and producer Franck Biyong who appeared at PASS 2009 is back with a new Afrolectric release.
Recorded in Cameroon, Visions of Kamerun see Biyong and his Massak crew navigate the psycho-geography, history and dreams of his home country, as well as the roots, passages and slipstreams that link it to Europe. Featuring 18 tracks including nine sustained spoken interludes, the album offers a nod to the wisdom, vision and style of Bob Marley's Talking Blues (released in 1991 on Tuff Gong).
Mixed by Grant Phabao in Paris, the album brings together delicate traditional percussion, subtle afro-jazz drummings, beautiful minimal guitar riffs, and Massak's typically powerful horn section, with soulful vocals from Franck Biyong, Sandra NKaké and Gladys Gambie.
Defining a salutary musical movement called Nuevo Afropean Jazz, with a solid, deeply sincere emotional core, the album balances jazz exploration, rhythmic vivacity, soul depth and cultural immersion.

You can still get a squishy hug from Baymax, but Hiro won't be there to help.
The former meet-and-greet involved a short conversation with Hiro before you posed for a pic with both him and Baymax. With the inflated costume, Baymax has even less mobility than most characters at WDW, causing the new meet-and-greet to lose some of its luster. Now, instead, of Hiro helping you pose and meet Baymax, you have cast members. The absence of Hiro highlights Baymax's mobility issues.
Alas, Disney apparently doesn't have any more love for the Asian kid.

The papaya, or paw paw as it is also known is a deciduous fast-growing shrub or small tree that grows best in tropical and subtropical climates, so is best suited to a greenhouse or conservatory in the northern european climate, at least in the summer month. Under these conditions it can flower continually, although it will more likely perform from high Summer to early Autumn. Best fruit production comes in full sun, but it will tolerate shade. For best results grow in rich, well-drained soil, and if keeping outside all year round, mulch heavily in winter. Our papaya trees are supplied in approx 3 litre containers at around 100cms tall on delivery.

It's about saving you significant time and money.
Zee Designs, Inc. offers website design, development and hosting services. Since mid-1997, we have developed our skills, significantly increased our software library, and prepared our equipment to handle this exciting business product. Our specialty is taking websites beyond just being informational to full-service, dynamic, interactive sites that provide business solutions.
Our focus is to create websites which look neat and clean; are organized, efficient, informative, and versatile; as well as have design elements which fit the client, whatever their corporate style.
We can offer you a website package customized to suit your business needs that includes the dynamic power of an online content management system.
When it comes to your project needs, we're dedicated to transforming your ideas into a premium interactive solution using intelligent technology!
We look forward to a mutually beneficial relationship that empowers your business's success.
Really! We'll take care of all the website-related details for you including domain name registration, search engine registration, website hosting and much, much more. A detailed list is available upon request.
Our Content Management System, the ZD-CMS™ is totally customizable.
We design, develop and produce custom, client-specific modules, and web applications on request. Some applications interact with the client's website and some are for intranet use only, assisting the client to manage business-related data. What's in it for us? The joy of hearing the client exclaim, "You've made my job so much easier! I used to have to do this all by hand! Now I have answers to queries I couldn't do with my Excel spreadsheet."
Individual and partial ZD-CMS™ solutions are delivered Software as a Service (SaaS), are server dependent and for websites which are hosted on our custom managed dedicated server. Web applications can be developed to work seamless with the ZD-CMS™, its modules and components, or independently of it.
We craft rich, dynamic website and website-related experiences. We specialize in creating websites in which we and our clients can manage their website's content easily. It's also about making future updates easier and more economical. We achieve this by building all our clients' websites in our proprietary Content Management System (CMS) solutions.
Additionally, we create custom web applications (extranet solutions) to assist clients with managing specific aspects of their business in an online environment.
Your website is built to ensure website visitors know who you are, what you do and options for interacting with you. It's about confirming you are a legitimate business as well as bringing you new and repeat business.
Discussions regarding the format, direction, and processes of development for the project(s) and services you are exploring with Zee Designs.
We start by listening. We discover exactly what you wish to achieve with your website, its content, and its functionality. Our focus is you, your business, and how we can create website and print media so you can successfully market your business. We eventually use this information and insight to develop a design and development and production plans.
Websites are a completely different project, as you certainly understand. Small websites will typically take up to 15 days from the receipt of all content. For extremely large or complex sites, it may take as much as 6-8 weeks. When custom software applications are involved, the timing depends on the scpope of the project.
Quick Requests are minor modifications to text or layout. We'll squeeze this into our day(s) and turn them around quickly for you without incurring rush fees whenever possible.
Timely receipt of content is an important factor which contributes to project delivery time. Most often than not, the client delays their own projects. We understand what it takes to run a business and how challenging it can be to focus and follow through on one project at a time. With multi-tasking commonplace these days, people can forget what it takes to really get something accomplished.
Realizing this, Zee Designs does its best to support our clients with retrieving as much data as we can with as minimal interaction with the client as possible. For instance, "Give us the contact information for your photographer, and we'll make the request." "Give us the contact information for your assistant and we'll ask for copies of this and that." "If you can provide us with a draft, we can acquire professional writing services." The faster you respond, the sooner we can have your website up.
When we receive content in "dribs and drabs," that's fine by us. We don't mind reviewing and organizing materials as they come to us. However, I'm sure you will agree it's easy to see how a delay with receiving ALL content for a project can cause delays and rushes with a project's final delivery date.
When it comes right down to it, we rely on the content that is provided by you and your associates as well as the time you make for us during the many project phases as indicated above to get your projects done in a timely manner.
This information, when agreed upon for accuracy, becomes the basis for developing the Content Outline that will result in a bid.
The content outline sets forth what information will be contained on each page of the website design, which website visitors are most interested in that information, and what the desired user action is on each page.
any additional costs related to project such as shipping, courier services, etc.
With the bid information, you and Zee Designs can discuss a strategy for moving forward. You may choose to do the whole project at once or break it down into parts to satisfy your budget. Whatever the outcome, the work done during the Development Consulting and the Architecture Design are valuable, even if you decide to go with a "cookie cutter" site elsewhere.
How will your site look when it is finished? Where will the information be on the screen? These are things we have to decide before we start setting up the creative concept for the site style.
Wire frames are prototypes showing the placement and hierarchy of elements on key pages within the new website design. Wire frames utilize colored boxes and divisions of content. This stripped-down approach provides the web design team and client a way to look at the proposed interfaces from a purely functional and hierarchical perspective, without color scheme and other specific elements influencing decisions on placement and layout. A smart layout will promote wise use of screen space and help website visitors find information.
Our team conceives of creative ways to achieve your objectives. We start with incorporating your logo, review considerations for appropriate color schemes and elements, and decide how best to present your content clean, smart, interesting, informative and, when appropriate, fun.
In this step, the web design team creates the look and feel for client review. Typically, we develop a home page and sub-topic page for each design to illustrate navigation progression. Based on client feedback, changes are made to the design until we agree on a final website "look."
Acquiring of photography, pre-existing art, scanning, reference materials, stock samples, permission-to-use items, and articles, etc.
The coordination of custom photo shoots, gathering of copy, data, and possibly biographies and other information for your website can be a large undertaking. We work with you to let you know what is required so that you can get the information to us in a timely manner.
Copy can be handled several ways. We can receive and implement finished copy by you or provide professional writing services. These services may include editing copy you have provided or even creating original copy. We know how challenging it can be to write about yourselves, so let our professional writers do it for you. When completed, copy is incorporated in the CMS.
You may wish to have more audio or video elements, such as podcasts, videos, walk-ons, or slide shows. Zee Designs is happy to help with these features that are often included in modern websites. Slideshow and other animations are developed and created inhouse to your specification. Our professionals can help with any scripts that might be involved in podcasts, walk-ons, or video productions. Zee Designs has spent many years developing relationships with a vast array of vendors to provide any services we do not handle inhouse, so that the interaction with vendors is seamless.
We are users creating solutions for users.
Part of the website creation process is determining what type of databases you require to service your visitors or deliver your data. We ask many questions about your requirements and then design and code solutions. Our modules make many solutions turnkey, and if you wish something new and different, we can program it for you.
Are you thinking about having your users join your mailing list and then having the option of sending them announcements and notices of special offers?
Do you have information like employee info, articles, or other resources that would be better managed in a database?
Would you like to offer a membership?
Would you like to have a schedule of events, classes, or public appearances?
Would you like to collect testimonials from people who use your products or services?
Is there going to be information on your website you would like to be able to modify on a periodic basis?
All these interactive online tasks, and many more like them, are fueled by the power of dynamic database development—where the website interacts with a database of information.
Making your website interactive means dynamic database development and that takes a team of creative, technical-oriented people who know how to program code that is reliable and efficient. We specialize in internet, client/server, intranet or stand-alone applications. Our software experience includes several technologies. Zee Designs and its Artistic Code Engineers have been programming code for many years, some before the internet even existed, so we care about using a diverse and progressive set of code options, including the latest technology, to fit just about anyone's needs.
We provide you with a technical analysis of your website's dynamic needs to see how we can help you define your specific requirements and do the programming necessary to make it possible.
Once we have the architectural framework defined and built, all the content and artwork gathered, the databases defined, we can get into the actual building of the site and any programming that will entail.
Content and artwork is entered into the website pages, modules, and databases (where appropriate).
Our cutting-edge Content Management Systems, have Search Engine Optimization built right into the process as we create your site. We offer additional SEO services where appropriate.
The site style is programmed and applied.
Any custom programming is developed and integrated into the system.
When everything is in place, we move to the test phase.
The time it takes and the value of the Testing Phase is often under-estimated and misunderstood. Typically, the ZDI Team will have three to six people test a single site and a minimum of two complete passes through all website pages and records.
We test the links, pay attention to load times, proof the copy and optimize every aspect making sure it works as expected across multiple platforms and browsers. Comprehensive testing of all aspects of the site is performed to ensure every aspect is working as expected.
"Most web standards are generally designed with forward- and backward-compatibility in mind — so that data using old versions of the standards will continue to work in new browsers, and data using new versions of the standards will "gracefully degrade" to produce an acceptable result in older browsers."
"Because a website may go through several teams of designers during its lifetime, it is important that those people are able to comprehend the code and to edit it easily. Web standards offer a set of rules that every Web developer can follow, understand, and become familiar with: When one developer designs a site to the standards, another will be able to pick up where the former left off."
The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), along with other groups and standards bodies, has established technologies for creating and interpreting web-based content. These technologies, which we call "web standards," are carefully designed to deliver the greatest benefits to the greatest number of web users while ensuring the long-term viability of any document published on the Web.
Web accessibility evaluation tools are software programs or online services that help determine if a website meets accessibility guidelines. While Web accessibility evaluation tools can significantly reduce the time and effort to evaluate websites, no tool can automatically determine the accessibility of websites.
The Web Standards Project is a grassroots coalition fighting for standards which ensure simple, affordable access to web technologies for all. Founded in 1998, The Web Standards Project (WaSP) fights for standards that reduce the cost and complexity of development while increasing the accessibility and long-term viability of any site published on the Web. We work with browser companies, authoring tool makers, and our peers to deliver the true power of standards to this medium.
Read more about what the web standards and the reasons we, to the best of our ability and the tools that are available to us, use them.
These provisions of the standards provide the requirements that must be followed by Federal agencies when producing web pages. These provisions apply unless doing so would impose an undue burden.
Screen readers are software programs that allow blind or visually impaired users to read the text that is displayed on the computer screen with a speech synthesizer. For more information about this topic, please visit the website for American Foundation for the Blind™.
The Web Standards Project's Accessibility Task Force plays a key role in assisting product developers and manufacturers to improve Web standards support within their products. The Task Force also works towards promoting a better understanding of Web accessibility by designers and developers, corporate organizations and government institutions.

After requested content and functionality has been validated and refined, and client has thoroughly reviewed the entire site, it is made accessible to the public.

Cycling Weekly tech: how we test products
A look at how CW's tech team arrives at the scores on the doors
How we score products
Who reviews products?
By Rob Spedding
How Cycling Weekly tests products
Cycling in itself is beautifully simple, but the sheer range of products out there can be dizzying.
Having plenty of choice is a positive thing – there are bikes, clothing and accessories for every need and bank balance. The flipside is it can be a genuine challenge to find your perfect needle in the haystack, especially when it's filled with other needles, which may be perfect for someone else, but aren't quite what you're looking for.
That's where we come in. Since Cycling Weekly's inception way back in 1891, we've provided expert, impartial advice to our audience, based on product tests carried out by and for cyclists. You can read more about our story and the early years (opens in new tab) here.
With test products covering such a wide variety of applications, our testing protocols depend on the category in question. For example, a bike is rated based upon its frame construction, serviceability, weight, specification, ride quality, and whether it would meet the needs of the expected rider.
Key parameters for a power-meter are reliability, connectivity, ease of charging, day-to-day use and ease of fitting, whilst clothing reviews look for fit, weatherproofing and breathability as well as durability.
In all our reviews, we finely detail the balance of performance, quality and price – alongside those category-specific considerations – and how those combine to result in our final score...
1) Our products are only tested by committed cyclists with years of experience – we believe that's gives a deeper insight than that of outdoor-generalists or fitness-enthusiasts
2) When we say we've reviewed a product, that means we've ploughed the hours in on familiar roads or trails
3) Manufacturers can't pay for a good review – we keep complete editorial integrity
5 stars: Superb, best in its class and we couldn't fault it
4.5 stars: Excellent, a slight change and it would be perfect
4 stars: Solid product, could be improved
3.5 stars: Fine, but there are better alternatives
3 stars: Passable, a few niggles let this down
2.5 stars: Acceptable, needs improvement
2 stars: Functions, but disappointing
1.5 stars: Poor, approach with caution
1 star: Extremely poor, barely worked or simply didn't
Michelle Arthurs-Brennan – Digital Editor
A traditional journalist by trade, Cycling Weekly's Tech Editor Michelle Arthurs-Brennan started her career working for a local newspaper before spending a few years at Evans Cycles. She's since combined the two, with a flourishing career in cycling journalism.
When neither typing nor testing, Michelle is an avid road racer and keen track cyclist – also dabbling in the occasional time trial. Off the tarmac, she's at home on both mountain and 'gravel' bikes – each having their strengths and weaknesses on the chalky hills of the South Downs.
A passionate supporter of grassroots women's racing, she founded the women's road race team 1904rt and earnt her Cat 1 racing licence in 2019.

Simon Smythe – Senior Tech Writer
Cycling Weekly's Senior Tech Writer, Simon Smythe, has occupied a range of roles since he first joined in 2003. The first of which was as a sub editor for the magazine, following his MA in online journalism (and yes, that was just after the dot-com bubble burst).
Simon has mostly focused on time trialling throughout his cycling career, with a national medal, a few open wins and his club's 30-mile record in his palmares. These days he spends a lot more time riding and testing road bikes – as well as doing the school run on a tandem with his younger son.

Stefan Abram – Tech Features Editor
B.G. (Before Gravel), Stefan was a mountain biker, riding the tracks and trails of Sussex – and subsequently – Kent, where he went on to complete an MA in Multimedia Journalism and earn his NCTJ accreditation.
He's long since swapped flat bars for curly ones and is always on the lookout for a new challenge. Last year, he Everested in under 12 hours and rode the South Downs Double in sub 20. Although dabbling in racing off-road, on-road, and virtually, his only win of any significance was the National Single-Speed Cross-Country Mountain Bike Championships in 2019. One of Stefan's key responsibilities for Cycling Weekly is ensuring that our Buying Guides provide you with all the information you need to make the best choices when you buy cycling products!

A Wealth of Buildings: Marking the Rhythm of English History
Richard Barras
This two-volume book explores how the great buildings of England bear witness to a thousand years of the nation's history. In every age, investment in iconic buildings reaches a climax when the prevailing mode of production is operating most effectively, surplus wealth is most plentiful, and the dominant class rules supreme. During such periods of stability and prosperity, the demand for new buildings is strong, structural and stylistic innovations abound, and there is fierce competition to build for lasting fame. Each such climax produces a unique vintage of hegemonic buildings that are monuments to the wealth and power of those who ruled their world. This first volume provides an introduction to the study of wealth accumulation over the past millennium. There follow three case studies of iconic building investment from the eleventh to the seventeenth century. During the eleventh and twelfth centuries the conquering Norman kings and barons erected castles throughout the country to cement their feudal power. During the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries the great wealth of the ecclesiastical estates funded the lavish construction of Gothic cathedrals and abbeys. During the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries Tudor and Jacobean magnates vied to build the most magnificent palaces and prodigy houses. The English Revolution brought this era to a close.

This year's event was held at Cosgrove–Sherman St. Park. Historically, this large green space has been used as a sanitary and stormwater sewer corridor, but it is technically categorized as a municipal park.

Massage is to work and act on the body with pressure. Massage techniques are commonly applied with hands, fingers, elbows, knees, forearm, feet, or a device. The purpose of massage is generally for the treatment of body stress or pain. People who are professionally trained to give massages were traditionally known as masseurs or masseuses, but the term massage therapist has been promoted.

West Texas Explosion - A Criminal Act...What are the Repercussions?
Michael Kennedy Esq.
The Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) determined that on April 17, 2013 the explosion at the West Fertilizer facility was a result of a "criminal act" and "ruled out all accidental and natural causes". 15 people were killed, more than 160 were injured and more than 150 buildings were damaged. The act incited a laundry list of agencies to work together to address the problem, despite the "undetermined" cause of the explosion.President Obama issued Executive Order 13650: Improving Chemical Safety and Security is an attempt to address the lack of coordination within federal agencies and reduce the safety and security risks to prevent future explosions. Despite the effort, the scope of the EO and the mechanisms to correct these issues seemed to be more focused on producing more regulations than doing more with what is currently out there.
One twist to this tale is the coordination among investigators, or perhaps the lack thereof. The US Chemical Safety Board (CSB) and ATF had a full-fledged show down during the initial days of the investigation both competing for witness testimony yet coming up with different conclusions. Further, without a clear cause, the CSB advocated corrective actions to the Occupation Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to change the Process Safety Management (PSM) of Highly Hazardous Chemical Standard (1910.119), all documented in their final report along with their educational videos. This comes years before the ATF and Crime Stoppers announced a $52,000 reward for information about the intentional fire.
Bound by political pressure, litigation ensued when OSHA eradicated a longstanding retailer exemption to the PSM requirements, in which suppliers argued would cost them up to $25,000 per facility. Then Congress in budget report language directed OSHA to conduct a rulemaking on this matter, in which OSHA politely disregarded this suggestion citing that there was ample time for the public to weigh in during its Request for Information on PSM. (Note, oral arguments before the US District Court of Appeals are scheduled for this week and the court has decided it can rule on the merits of the matter without the benefit of a hearing.)
Lastly the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed changes to the Risk Management Program (RMP) Rule to amend the Accidental Release Prevention Requirements of RMP under the Clean Air Act, Section 112(r)(7). Comments closed last week, but questions still remain as to why EPA would reform the RMP program and not update Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA), which passed Congress during the Reagan administration. (a separate discussion)
Even after three years, the incident in West Texas is still unfolding. Although intentions were good after the incident, politics and litigation will still play a role in the next chapter of this saga. Will it produce the fruits in which it was intended? Will the intentional nature of this incident change the benefits relied upon by the agencies in their rulemaking?

The singularity: AI will make humans sexier and funnier, says Google expert
Posted on March 17, 2017 by 1 UFOS
The much-heralded technological singularity will happen in 2029, according to Google's director of engineering.
Ray Kurzweil, a futurist who has made a name for himself through his predictions, shared his thoughts about what's in store for humans and machines in an interview with SXSW in Texas.
He believes that the so-called singularity – the moment when artificial intelligence exceeds man's intellectual capacity and creates a runaway effect, which many believe will lead to the demise of the human race – is little over a decade away.
Nostalgic gadgets we would love to see make a comeback
"By 2029, computers will have human-level intelligence," said Mr Kurzweil. "That leads to computers having human intelligence, our putting them inside our brains, connecting them to the cloud, expanding who we are.
"Today, that's not just a future scenario. It's here, in part, and it's going to accelerate."
However, unlike a number of famous experts, Mr Kurzweil isn't worried about artificial intelligence.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk recently warned that AI could make humans irrelevant, and called for humans to merge with machines in order to continue serving a purpose.
Mr Kurzweil, meanwhile, believes that machines will improve us, and even help us become better humans.
"What's actually happening is [machines] are powering all of us. They're making us smarter. They may not yet be inside our bodies, but, by the 2030s, we will connect our neocortex, the part of our brain where we do our thinking, to the cloud.
"We're going to get more neocortex, we're going to be funnier, we're going to be better at music. We're going to be sexier. We're really going to exemplify all the things that we value in humans to a greater degree."
Stephen Hawking has gone further than Mr Musk, saying, "You're probably not an evil ant-hater who steps on ants out of malice, but if you're in charge of a hydroelectric green energy project and there's an anthill in the region to be flooded, too bad for the ants. Let's not place humanity in the position of those ants."
He has also suggested that a "world government" could be used to control technological advancements.
"Ultimately, it will affect everything," Mr Kurzweil continued. "We're going to be able to meet the physical needs of all humans. We're going to expand our minds and exemplify these artistic qualities that we value."

He's also been known to assume various positions that uninitiated human observers often remark don't look very comfortable.

Clinafloxacin versus piperacillin/tazobactam in the treatment of severe skin and soft-tissue infections in adults at a Veterans Affairs medical center.
Author(s): Siami FS, LaFleur BJ, Siami GA
Affiliation(s): Department of Medicine, Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, Nashville, Tennessee 37212-2637, USA.
Publication date & source: 2002-01, Clin Ther., 24(1):59-72.
BACKGROUND: Severe skin and soft-tissue infections (SSTIs), particularly diabetic foot infections, are a source of considerable morbidity and mortality. Inappropriate antimicrobial therapy may contribute to the increasing emergence of bacterial resistance, as well as to increased health care costs. Thus, there is a continuing search for reasonably safe, well-tolerated, and effective antimicrobial agents that are less susceptible to the development of resistance than older agents. OBJECTIVE: The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Medical Center in Nashville, Tennessee, was I site in a multicenter, Phase III, randomized, investigator-blinded clinical trial comparing the safety and efficacy of clinafloxacin with those of piperacillin/tazobactam in the treatment of adult patients with SSTI. METHODS: Over an 18-month period, patients aged > or = 18 years with physical findings of acute bacterial SSTI requiring hospitalization and intravenous antimicrobial therapy were randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either clinafloxacin 200 mg IV every 12 hours or piperacillin/tazobactam 3.375 g IV every 6 hours. After a minimum of 3 days of intravenous therapy, a switch to oral therapy with clinafloxacin 200 mg PO every 12 hours or amoxicillin/clavulanate 500 mg PO every 8 hours could be made in the respective treatment groups. RESULTS: The center enrolled 84 patients (42 in each group), all but I of whom were male, reflecting the typical VA medical center population. The mean age was 60 years (range, 36-80 years) in the clinafloxacin group and 65 years (range, 35-87) in the piperacillin/tazobactam group; the latter group was significantly older (P = 0.0482), which could have affected recovery rates. Sixty-six patients were white and 18 were black. The mean ( +/- SD) duration of treatment was 10.69 +/- 5.34 days in the clinafloxacin group and 12.07 +/- 5.06 days in the piperacillin/tazobactam group; the mean length of stay was 10.83 +/- 10.28 days and 14.95 +/- 19.20 days, respectively. Fifty-three (63%) patients were switched to oral therapy (21 in the clinafloxacin group, 32 in the piperacillin/tazobactam group). The most commonly isolated pathogens were Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Enterobacter cloacae. Clinical cure rates and microbiologic eradication rates were similar between the 2 treatments. The piperacillin/ tazobactam arm experienced more all-cause adverse events than the clinafloxacin arm, although the difference was not statistically significant. The clinafloxacin arm experienced significantly more adverse events (eg, photosensitivity) that were judged by the investigator to be drug related (P = 0.034). CONCLUSIONS: In this study population of hospitalized adults, clinafloxacin was as effective as piperacillin/tazobactam in the treatment of complicated SSTIs. Appropriate precautions must be taken against exposure to sunlight and ultraviolet light in patients receiving clinafloxacin, and adequate monitoring is necessary. Further investigation is necessary into how the phototoxic effects of the flu oroquinolones can be limited.

Kevin Schlosser Authors, "First Department Explains Distinction Between Void and Voidable Documents and Corresponding Fraud"
Litigation & Dispute Resolution|
Source: www.nyfraudclaims.com
In a recent post, I explained the difference between "fraud in the factum" and fraudulent inducement. In this post, I discuss the legal consequences deriving from these two doctrines. Documents executed by way of "fraud in the factum" are void ab initio (they are as though they never existed), while documents induced by fraud are voidable – subject to challenge. More on this below.
Void and Voidable
An interesting decision of the Appellate Division Second Department lays out the distinctions between fraud in the factum and fraudulent inducement, and the legal consequences flowing therefrom. In Dalessio v Kressler, 2004 NY Slip Op 01533 [6 AD3d 57] (2d Dep't 2004), the plaintiff claimed that he was induced to execute a check and turn it over to those who represented to him that his girlfriend was in debt, needed the money to repay the debt, and would not marry him unless the debt was paid. (Yes, a bit bizarre, but the decision gets the relevant legal points across. And the girlfriend's name was Jennifer Lopez.) The plaintiff subsequently tried to stop payment on the check. As relevant here, the Court explained the applicable law rather nicely, as follows:
The plaintiff does not dispute that he knowingly executed a certified check payable to Kressler. Accordingly, the nature of Kressler's alleged fraud is fraud in the inducement, not fraud in the factum (see First Natl. Bank of Odessa v Fazzari, 10 NY2d 394, 397 [1961]; Mechwart v Mechwart, 292 AD2d 354 [2002]; Mix v Neff, 99 AD2d 180, 182-183 [1984]; Federal Deposit Ins. Corp. v Kassel, 72 AD2d 787, 788 [1979]).
In the case of fraud in the factum, the maker is induced to sign something entirely different than what he thought he was signing (see First Natl. Bank of Odessa v Fazzari, supra at 397). The instrument is "void ab initio" (Mix v Neff, supra at 182). However, fraud in the inducement renders the obligation voidable based upon facts occurring prior or subsequent to its execution (see Mix v Neff, supra at 183).
The elements of a cause of action sounding in fraudulent inducement are "representation of a material existing fact, falsity, scienter, deception and injury" (Channel Master Corp. v Aluminium Ltd. Sales, 4 NY2d 403, 407 [1958]). The plaintiff's entitlement to a preliminary injunction was dependent upon his establishing a likelihood of success on the merits (see Chrys v D.C.G. Dev. Co., 187 AD2d 923, 924 [1992]).
The plaintiff claims that he executed the certified check and gave it to Kressler based upon a promise that if he made those payments his girlfriend Jennifer Lopez would marry him. There are a number of difficulties with the plaintiff's cause of action. It is unclear as to whether the plaintiff is claiming that Kressler falsely represented that she was acting on behalf of Jennifer Lopez or whether Kressler, acting in concert with Lopez, falsely represented that Lopez would marry the plaintiff if he paid $107,000.{**6 AD3d at 62}
If the alleged misrepresentation was a promise to marry there are additional difficulties. Essential to a cause of action sounding in fraudulent inducement based upon a false promise is that the defendant had no intention to perform the promise at the time it was made (see Deerfield Communications Corp. v Chesebrough-Ponds, Inc., 68 NY2d 954, 956 [1986]; Channel Master Corp. v Aluminium Ltd. Sales, supra; Nastro Contr. v Agusta, 217 AD2d 874 [1995]). Assuming arguendo that there was an intent to perform, any promise to marry would be legally unenforceable (see Civil Rights Law § 80-a).
The plaintiff's assertions in support of his cause of action were insufficient to establish his likelihood of success on the merits (see Chrys v D.C.G. Dev. Co., supra). Accordingly, it is apparent that he never should have been afforded injunctive relief against Republic. If Republic [*4]had sought vacatur of the injunction against it, its application should have been granted.
As further explained in a very old, but cogent decision of the New York Court of Appeals, a document executed by forgery or through false pretenses (fraud in the factum) is void from the outset. So a deed that was either forged, or signed thinking it was not a deed, is void, because as the Court neatly observed: "Void things are as no things." Marden v. Dorthy, 160 NY 39, 56 (1899). Voidable documents, however, are treated differently, as the Court explained:
It is doubtless true that a fraudulent grantee of real property may create a valid incumbrance upon it in favor of innocent parties, since, as to such parties, he has the title and has been clothed with power to deal with the property. When the owner of land executes and delivers to another a deed of it, the title passes to the grantee named therein, although the former was induced by fraud to execute and deliver the instrument. The deed is not void, but voidable, and, until set aside, it has the effect of transferring the title to the fraudulent grantee, and the latter, being thus clothed with all the evidences of good title, may incumber the property to a party who becomes a purchaser in good faith.
Marden, 160 NY at 50.
First Department New Decision
Weiss v Phillips, 2017 NY Slip Op 08209 (1st Dep't Decided on November 21, 2017) discussed the void and voidable distinction in connection with a deed and mortgage. The Court explained the relevant law in a cogent, clear and very instructive manner:
[Defendant] Phillips … argues that the mortgage is not enforceable because it was based on a [*7]"fraudulent/forged deed." We reject this argument. Essentially, Phillips asserts that because McCarthy and Smith never had title in the first place, they never had anything to mortgage. Thus, the mortgage was invalid. Phillips's argument, however, conflates the distinction between a void deed and a voidable deed.
To be clear, a deed may be cancelled because it is void or because it is voidable. The difference, however, between a void deed and a voidable deed is important under the law because it affects a party's ability to defend against a future purchaser or encumbrancer for value. A void real estate transaction is one where the law deems that no transfer actually occurred (Faison v Lewis, 25 NY3d 220, 225 [2015]). Accordingly, if the deed is void, it does not pass title and cannot be enforced even if title is later acquired by a bona fide purchaser (id.; ABN AMRO Mtge. Group, Inc. v Stephens, 91 AD3d 801, 803 [2d Dept 2012]). Similarly, a lender who takes a mortgage to a property subject to a void deed does not have anything to mortgage, so the lender's mortgage is invalid as well (Cruz v Cruz, 37 AD3d 754 [2d Dept 2007]; Yin Wu v Wu, 288 AD2d 104, 105 [1st Dept 2001]). In contrast, a voidable real estate transaction is one where a transfer is deemed to have occurred, but can be revoked. In that situation the deed is only voidable (Faison v Lewis, 25 NY3d at 225).
The question becomes whether the deed by which Welch-Ford and Smith acquired the subject real estate was a void deed or a voidable deed. Forged deeds and/or encumbrances are those executed under false pretenses, and are void ab initio (see Marden v Dorthy, 160 NY 39 [1899]; GMAC Mtge. Corp. v Chan, 56 AD3d 521, 522 [2d Dept 2008]; Cruz v Cruz, 37 AD3d 754). The interests of subsequent bona fide purchasers or encumbrancers for value are thus not protected under Real Property Law § 266 [FN7] when their title is derived from a forged deed or one that is the product of false pretenses (see Ameriquest Mtge. Co. v Gaffney, 41 AD3d 750 [2d Dept 2007]; LaSalle Bank Natl. Assn. v Ally, 39 AD3d 597, 599-600 [2d Dept 2007]). In contrast, a fraudulently induced deed is merely voidable, not void (see Marden v Dorthy, 160 NY at 150; Dalessio v Kressler, 6 AD3d 57, 61 [2d Dept 2004]; Yin Wu v Wu, 288 AD2d at 105).
In this case, Phillips improperly labels the instrument by which the improper transfer took place as both a "fraudulent/forged deed." The undisputed facts establish, however, that the deed was the result of fraudulent inducement, rather than the result of a forged deed or one executed under false pretenses. As fully explained above, the tortfeasor (at the time, a paralegal assigned to procure the deed transfer) obtained the owner's signature on the deed purportedly to transfer the property back to its original owner, Phillips. The paralegal presented the owner with a blank deed, which she signed. The subsequent deed transfer was the result of a classic fraudulent inducement, because the owner believed that she was signing the deed in order to transfer the property back to its original owner, Phillips. Instead, the deed transferred the property to the paralegal's mother and then himself, before they obtained a loan and mortgage from Weiss. Thus, the deed here was voidable, not void ab initio.
If the signature on a legal document is simply a forgery, that document is void from the outset, as though it never existed. Similarly if the signer executed it thinking it was something other than what it actually was (the rare instance of fraud in the factum – see my post), then the document that was so executed is also void. But if the person who executes the document knows what the document is, yet is induced to sign it based upon common law fraudulent misrepresentations, that document must be challenged in order to become ineffective. This often affects the rights of bona fide third parties who have relied on the validity of such documents. There can be no rights derived from void documents.

A Confederacy of Dunces Boethius, Consolation of Philosophy
Boethius, Consolation of Philosophy
Boethius's The Consolation of Philosophy is Ignatius's favorite book. He refers to it constantly throughout the novel, and when he sees a pornographic picture of a nude woman reading it, he just about falls in love, and actually contemplates having a girlfriend—a prospect which at all other times he treats with horror.
We know that this means that all of you diligent readers are going to go out right now and read The Consolation of Philosophy backward and forward, and possibly in the nude like Lana Lee. Right? Okeydoke. Go ahead. We will wait.
Hold on… Do you mean to tell us that you haven't run right out to get your hands on the nearest copy of this text written a few thousand years ago? All right, fine. We'll cut you some slack this time and tell you what it is. Just don't say we never did anything nice for you.
So what is The Consolation of Philosophy anyway? Well, as Ignatius says:
"The book teaches us to accept that which we cannot change. It describes the plight of a just man in an unjust society. It is the very basis for medieval thought." (7.88)
The book was written around the year 524 by the Roman philosopher Boethius while he was awaiting trial for treason. You would think that awaiting trial for treason would dry up your inspiration, but not for Boethius, apparently. Maybe having a name like Boethius made him used to adversity. Who knows? Anyway, as Ignatius says, the book recommends stoicism and resignation in the face of adversity.
The Consolation of Philosophy serves two related purposes in the novel. First, Boethius is a foil for Ignatius. So though Ignatius is supposedly a follower of Boethius, he does the opposite of everything Boethius says.
Boethius urges stoicism; Ignatius complains constantly about his valve, his nerves, the abuse he suffers, and pretty much anything and everything he can think of. Boethius faces torture and eventual brutal execution at the hands of an unjust law, but does not complain, while Ignatius commits forgery and then whines to himself that "At this point his nervous system could not manage a court trial. He would break down completely before the judge" (14.2). Yup, these two are definitely not cut from the same cloth.
Perhaps best exemplifying Boethius's role as Ignatius's foil, though, is that Boethius wrote, "No man can ever truly be secure until he has been forsaken by Fortune." In contrast, Ignatius is constantly railing against Fortuna and begging the wheel to spin him good luck. It's like these two aren't even having the same conversation.
Ignatius recommends that everyone follow the path of Boethius, but we suspect that this is because if everyone behaved like Boethius, no one would complain of injustice or abuse, and Ignatius could just go around happily abusing people and taking their stuff without anyone bothering him. Ignatius thinks of himself as a just man in an unjust society, no doubt, but really the appeal of Boethius seems to be that it gives him the excuse to be an unjust man and screw society.
Deus Ex Boethius
The Consolation of Philosophy's second role is as a plot mechanism. Ignatius, somewhat sadistically, sends the book to Officer Mancuso to comfort him in his bathroom stall (though in fact, the book just "made him more depressed" (8.58)). And then, when Mancuso tries to arrest George, the boy grabs the book, he hits Mancuso in the head with "all fifteen dollars of its price" (8.75), and steals it.
George then takes the book to Lana Lee, who uses it as a prop in her pornographic pictures, and when George tries to store the pictures in Ignatius hot dog cart, Ignatius looks at them and falls in love with the woman in the image. So he seeks her out at the Night of Joy, precipitating a catastrophe that ends with Lana in jail. Patrolman Mancuso discovers the stolen book at the bar and sends it back to Ignatius. At which point, Ignatius cries out in melodramatic agony:
"Ironically, the book of Fortuna is itself bad luck. Oh, Fortuna, you degenerate wanton!" (13.40)
Ignatius is right; the book is itself a kind of wheel of fortune, spinning by happenstance through the novel, and uniting all the disparate actions and characters into a single rush, which eventually carries Ignatius out of New Orleans for good.
But what Ignatius perhaps doesn't quite realize is that it's him, not the book, which is the degenerate wanton. Specifically, Ignatius keeps using the book to try to control Fortuna, and satisfy his own very un-philosophical desires. He sends the book to Mancuso in the first place not so much out of charity as in order to get his mother to stop bothering him, and then he pursues Lana Lee because her naked body in juxtaposition with the book has filled him with something that looks a lot like lust.
In other words, the book is a spur, not to stoicism, but to appetite. The wheel that turns is not Fortuna, but desire—if Ignatius can even tell them apart.

"The target today is a suspected enemy location near the gully behind that clump of trees," says the American Forward Air Controller (FAC) from a tiny spotter plane just above the treetops some 30 miles northwest of Saigon. On the receiving end of the message is a South Vietnamese pilot, Captain Hoang Manh Dzung, 28, who is flying a propeller-driven A-l Skyraider with a 4,000-lb. bomb load. Suddenly, standing the plane on its nose, Captain Dzung swoops down, releases a 500-lb. bomb and pulls adroitly out of the dive. After several more runs, the FAC radios: "Very nice. Hundred percent of the bombs were on target." To a companion in the cockpit, Captain Dzung says: "Oh, we do that every day."
As the U.S. continues to turn over the burden of fighting the war to the South Vietnamese, the Viet Nam air force is rapidly coming into its own. Already it has doubled its combat missions to 40% of the total flown throughout the country, and it is also handling a considerable part of the bombing inside Cambodia. The South Vietnamese are receiving sizable numbers of planes. At the start of 1970, they had only 400 aircraft, including 125 helicopters. By the end of 1971, they will have about 800, half of them helicopters. South Viet Nam now has 26 squadrons and 1,300 pilots; roughly as many men are in flight training.
Though Vietnamese pilots often must sit on pillows to see over the instrument panel of American-made planes, they are by no means short on combat experience. Most American pilots, whose combat tour in Viet Nam usually lasts only one year, can expect to fly 200 to 300 sorties, or about 400 to 600 combat hours. Many Vietnamese pilots have been flying combat missions for years and boast up to 4,000 flying hours, 90% of them in combat. As a result, says General Lucius D. Clay Jr., commander of the Seventh Air Force and son of the famous World War II general, "they can put a bomb in the ashtray on your desk."
Time for Girls. When they want to, that is. Like their famed colleague, Vice President Nguyen Cao Ky, who also flew an A1, South Vietnamese pilots are flashy, hard-living and at times insubordinate. The Vietnamese pilot may refuse to make a tactical support strike if he does not happen to like the ground commander calling for one. "American pilots go wherever and whenever they are ordered, with no questions asked," says one South Vietnamese ground commander. "With the Vietnamese, you can never be sure. If you call for an air strike in the late afternoon, they will say that they do not have enough fuel. Yet they always have enough fuel to fly home in time to take their favorite girl out for dinner."
For their part, the pilots complain that they are not being given the hottest U.S. aircraft. The U.S. has turned over 20 C-119 and 20 C-47 overaged transports as well as 100 Cessna A-37 light bombers to Saigon. The Vietnamese would have preferred the much newer C-7 Caribou transports and the faster and more sophisticated A-7 Corsair jet fighters developed by the U.S. Navy. South Vietnamese commanders also complain that while the U.S. needed 4,000 helicopters to conduct the war, it is giving the V.N.A.F. fewer than 500.
Perhaps the greatest worry to the Vietnamese are reports that North Viet Nam may have moved some of its 200-odd MIGs, including new long-range models, toward the 17th parallel, within closer striking range of Saigon. But the U.S. has no plans to hand over to the South Vietnamese any of its supersonic F-4 Phantoms or F-105 Thunderchiefs, which are a match for the MIGs. The official reason is that they are too complicated for the Vietnamese to operate; privately, U.S. officials concede that they fear to give the South Vietnamese planes like the Phantoms that could deliver a bomb from Saigon to Hanoi in 27 minutes.
American officers argue that Saigon really need not worry about a precipitous weakening of its air defenses since the U.S. is simply not leaving that quickly and will be keeping "air" in Thailand and elsewhere. At present, there are about 280 Phantoms at Thai bases or on the remaining U.S. Air Force bases in South Viet Nam. In almost ten years of war in Indochina, the U.S. has lost 7,316 aircraft.
Despite the promising progress of the South Vietnamese air force, some U.S. airmen are reluctant to give up an American combat role. "My men grumble that they are frustrated – that there are no good targets left any more," says one U.S. Air Force wing commander. "But I always remind them of the plight of pilots back in the States. 'Let's face it,' I tell them, 'Viet Nam is the only place in the world today where you can drop real bombs.' "

Q: How to calc table cell position to array? I have a table. each cell defiend by x,y position. for example cell number one is start at 0,0 and so on...
I want to take this table and turn it into this array of [x,y,x,y,x,y....].
For example for this picture the expected result should be this arr:
const arr = [0,0,200,0,400,0,0,200,200,200,400,200,0,400,200,400,400,400];

The problem is I have only this data to work with:
const cols = 3;
const tableWidth = 600;
const colHeight = 200;
const items = 9;
const cellWidth = tableWidth / cols;

So I try to do a function that over all the items and try to figure out the x and the y. but I have no clue how to do that in one for only.
const arr = [];

for (var i = 0; i < items; i++) {

  const even = i % 2 === 0;

  const x = ???;
  const y = i * colHeight;

  table.push(x,y);
}

console.log({ arr });

A: I suggest you to calculate the number of rows and then iterate over rows and columns using 2 for loops - it will be more readable:

const cols = 3;
const tableWidth = 600;
const colHeight = 200;
const items = 9;

const cellWidth = tableWidth / cols;
const rows = items / cols;

const arr = [];

for (let i = 0; i < rows; i++) {
  for (let j = 0; j < cols; j++) {
    const x = j * cellWidth;
    const y = i * colHeight;
    arr.push(x, y);
  }
}

console.log(arr);

UPDATE: if you still want one for loop, try the following approach:

const cols = 3;
const tableWidth = 600;
const colHeight = 200;
const items = 9;

const cellWidth = tableWidth / cols;

const arr = [];

for (let i = 0; i < items; i++) {
  const col = i % cols;
  const row = Math.floor(i * cols / items);
  arr.push(col * cellWidth, row * colHeight);
}

console.log(arr);
