How to remedy the lack of diversity in the tech talent pool

There's a sea of jobs in technology, but white, Indian and Asian men seem to be the only ones sailing it. However, this severe lack of diversity in the talent pool has prompted industry, professionals, and advocates to find ways to change the dynamics.
"I feel safe to say there's less than 10% minorities with respect to African-Americans and Latinos in tech careers," says Grady Burrows, director of health IT talent at BioEnterprise, leading the HITintheCLE initiative.
The low number is the reason why BioEnterprise, which helps bioscience companies grow, brought Burrows onboard. And the companies he works with on its behalf have all identified the inability to identify diverse talent as their biggest pain point.
"Companies are beginning to recognize that it will be difficult to remain sustainable if they are unable to find local talent," Burrows says.
Nigamanth Sridhar, dean of the College of Graduate Studies and professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Cleveland State UniversityWhen exploring the why, several factors arise. "There's multilayers to this problem," says Nigamanth Sridhar, dean of the College of Graduate Studies and professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Cleveland State University.
"At every stage, you're going to lose more people," Sridhar says. If the top of the funnel isn't broad and doesn't include diverse talent, the scarcity of women and minorities in this field will persist, he says.
Burrows, Sridhar, and Anthony Gillespie, senior program manager at the Ohio Aerospace Institute, all cite a lack of k-12 preparedness as one of the main contributors to this issue.
Gillespie also cites limited exposure to the industry and mentors in addition to limited access to high speed internet in urban and rural communities as other factors. Young people must be exposed to technology the same way they are exposed to sports, he says. "I am a proponent of introducing them to experiential learning that triggers the thinking into I can make this a career."
Several programs across the city of Cleveland provide this type of nurturing to minority students with hopes of moving them into the talent pipeline.
CS4ALL, led by Sridhar, is a central resource for individuals and organizations interested in k-12 computer science education. They connect providers, schools and districts, funders, and researchers working toward the goal of providing quality computer science education to every child in the United States.
Through this effort, computer science course work is offered in about half of Cleveland Metropolitan School District schools, including John Marshall School of Information Technology, the first in the state to focus on computer science.
There are also summer camps to continuously engage students. "We've consistently seen interest in these camps," Sridhar says. The message "we need you" is being communicated to the students who participate, he says.
Because the need for software development and data science is increasingly growing in the health care space, BioEnterprise's HITintheCLE initiative connects the various players working toward the goal of providing quality computer science education to every child in the United States. One of the cornerstones of this program is the community classroom, for students from Cleveland and its inner ring suburbs, in the Global Center for Health Innovation.
Anthony Gillespie, senior program manager at the Ohio Aerospace Institute"We're empowering them to be successful in the 21st century economy," Burrows says. "If they can see what's possible, they can begin to dream."
On the other side of the spectrum is RITE, the leading industry-driven IT workforce alliance in Northeast Ohio. As the unifying force for the region's talent development system, it brings together industry, education, and economic and workforce development to build highly skilled IT talent needed by Northeast Ohio employers.
Additionally, Gillespie's work at the Ohio Aerospace Institute provides assistance through state and federal grants to small businesses involved in high tech ventures. "People forget, aerospace involves a lot of technology," he said. "We're top five across the nation as a supplier of parts to major aerospace companies."
Gillespie also asserts the seriousness of this issue. "There is a need for more diversity in the tech industry," he said. "I think we would have more innovation that needs to happen."
Plus, according to all three men, the jobs are plentiful even for midcareer professionals seeking to retool. Tech Elevator is a great initiative for training adults in tech, Sridhar says.
"There are opportunities out there for anyone who wants to pursue a career," Gilllespie says. At the same time, he is clear that "not all doors are wide open, some are cracked, waiting for us to come in." Sridhar agrees that the environment needs to be welcoming.
For those interested in IT, Gillespie says, "It's about finding the right fit and value to what you're bringing to the table."

Is the Term "Messianic Judaism" Biblical?
No form of Judaism or Christianity… has used the term "Messianic Judaism" as its appropriate designation.
The original followers of Yeshua were a sect of Judaism known as "Nazarenes" (as we read in Acts 24:5).
According to Scripture the word "Christian" does not denote Jewish believers in Yeshua at all. The New Testament calls them followers of "this way" (Acts 9:2, 22:4) and "Nazarenes" (Acts 24:5)… the New Testament does not call Jewish believers "Christians". According to New Testament usage the term "Christian" is reserved for Gentile believers in the Jewish Messiah Yeshua.
"Messianic" comes from the Hebrew mashiach, which means "anointed." "Christian" comes from Greek christos, which is the [Greek] New Testament's translation of mashiach AND MEANS THE SAME THING. …in the New Testament the term "Christian," which appears only three times, apparently denotes being a Gentile believer in Yeshua, so that scripturally "Jewish Christian" is a contradiction in terms.
The terms "Christian" and "Messianic" are alternate translations of the Greek word "Christianoi" "and mean the same thing".
The term "Christianoi" or "Christian" is used in the scriptures only to denote a GENTILE believer in Yeshua, so that scripturally the term "Jewish Christian" is "a contradiction in terms".
The term "Messianic" is used in the scriptures only to denote a GENTILE believer in Yeshua, so that scripturally the term "Messianic Jew" is a contradiction in terms.
The logic is inescapable… the term "Messianic Judaism" is scripturally invalid, it is a human invention and a contradiction in terms.
According to Scripture the word "MESSIANIC" does not denote Jewish believers in Yeshua at all. The New Testament calls them followers of "this way" (Acts 9:2, 22:4) and "NAZARENES" (Acts 24:5)… the New Testament does not call Jewish believers "MESSIANIC". According to New Testament usage the term "MESSIANIC" is reserved for Gentile believers in the Jewish Messiah Yeshua.
So the BIBLICAL term for Jewish believers in Messiah is NOT "Messianic" but "Nazarene". We should be seeking a restoration of "Nazarene Judaism" not creating "Messianic Judaism" which, being "Christian Judaism" (i.e. "Christianized Judaism") is a contradiction in terms.

62 Great Places To Drink Coffee In London
62 of the best places to drink coffee in London
Oliver Feldman, Heidi Lauth Beasley, Jake Missing, & Rianne Shlebak
Coffee. Where would we be without it? Probably unemployed with a sleep pattern that echoes that of Batman's. But as much as we'd like to personally thank coffee for all the assistance in those 7am alarms and 2am deadlines, we're the first to admit that not all coffee - or coffee shops - are equal. For every latte that you'd happily refer to as the elixir of life is another that tastes like a coffee bean took a bath in some dirty rainwater. But this guide is full of places where you can rely on getting a great cup of coffee, as well as spots with excellent cold brew, and even the odd state of the art situation that's worth travelling for.
Cafe/Bakery , Italian in Soho
££££ 22 Frith St
Bar Italia is a sliver of an espresso bar that's just about as classic an establishment as anywhere else in London you could go for a cup of coffee. It's expensive, and seating is limited, but you'll feel like you're part of something when you're here, even if you're only here for a few minutes. They're also open till 5am most nights, so it's perfect for a coffee after you've done pretty much everything else Soho has to offer.
Tintico
Cafe/Bakery in Soho
££££ 57 Greek St
Tintico is one of those coffee shops that, if you catch up them on the right day (or wrong, depending on your personality) will talk to you. About coffee. About froth. About whatever you want really. It's just a friendly place. It's also probably the best place to stop in and get some work done or just have a breather in Soho. There isn't a tonne of space, nor are the seats made for hours of sitting, so it's a perfect grab and go or 20 minute type place.
Prufrock Coffee
Cafe/Bakery in Farringdon , Holborn
££££ 23-25 Leather Ln
Prufrock isn't one of our coffee go-tos because their mascot is a tiny, freakishly adorable lop-eared rabbit. No. It's because Prufrock's mascot is a tiny, freakishly adorable rabbit and because they serve some of the best coffee in town. One of London's OG serious coffee spots, this place is pretty permanently busy, but given its size and great service, you shouldn't have to wait for long.
Fare Bar and Canteen
Pizza , Modern European in Clerkenwell , Farringdon
££££ 11 Old Street
Fare is a casual walk-in spot that does wine by night, pizza by day, and serves as a coffee shop at all times in between. There are high tables, low tables, and a patio out back, and you should know that their coffee is some of the best in the neighbourhood. They also serve pastries and sandwiches.
Dose Espresso
Cafe/Bakery in Farringdon
££££ 70 Long Ln
Dose is small but mighty. Like alsatian puppies. And your addiction to Netflix dating shows. The point is, although this cool spot near Smithfield is pretty tiny, the coffee is great, as is everything else from the brownies to the bunny-shaped tip-jar. If you happen to work in the area - or just happen to really stan early mornings - it's worth knowing that this place is open from 7am on weekdays.
Fleet Kitchen
Cafe/Bakery in Bloomsbury
££££ 7-11 Upper Woburn Place
At Fleet Kitchen in Bloomsbury you'll find a blackboard full of lunch specials, hobnob cookies, and the kind of lowkey, welcoming atmosphere you'd usually associate with an East End caff. Basically, it's a bit old school in the best possible way. The coffee here is great and it's the perfect option if you're kind of over your morning flat white being accompanied by The XX's greatest hits.
Kiss The Hippo
££££ 51 Margaret Street
This clean and tidy Fitzrovia spot is perfectly located for when you need to escape the crowds on Oxford Street. The coffees - brewed from beans roasted at Kiss The Hippo's other branch in Richmond - are uniformly excellent, with a special shout out to their pour over options.
Cafe/Bakery in Fitzrovia
££££ Rathbone Sq
Omotesando Koffee started out as a one-man boutique coffee shop but they now have locations in Singapore, Kyoto, across Southeast Asia, and importantly, in Fitzrovia. Decked out in contemporary Japanese pine architecture, grabbing a coffee here feels both relaxing and achingly cool. They have an extensive selection of single origin beans, cold brew options, plenty of matcha on the menu, and their iced cappuccino with bubble milk foam is one of London's best iced coffees. Heads up, you're also going to want to get involved in their kashi, a stupidly tasty custard-based snack.
££££ 66 Great Titchfield St
Kaffeine is a popular Australian cafe near Oxford Circus that's perfect for a coffee to go if you're in the area. It's pretty much always mobbed so if you want to sit down you might be in for a wait, but once you get one make sure you also get a slice of banana bread.
££££ 17 Berwick St
Flat White is a Berwick Street stalwart and one of London's original specialist coffee shops. It's always friendly, it's always busy, and it should definitely be your destination when you're strolling around in this part of Soho.
Hopper Coffee Shop
Cafe/Bakery in Holborn
££££ 81b Roger St
Hopper is a tiny and friendly coffee shop off the Gray's Inn Road in Bloomsbury that's perfect for a grab and go when you're in the area. Don't expect to sit down, it's not that kind of place, but they do sell soups and sandwiches to go, as well as the usual baked stuff.
Rosslyn Coffee
Cafe/Bakery in City
££££ 78 Queen Victoria St
Rosslyn Coffee on the corner of Queen Victoria Street in the City isn't somewhere you're going to want to linger for long. It's the kind of place you're going to stand and drink while reading the financial pages that they pin to the walls every day. Yes, it might be cramped. And yes, they might play fairly awful four-on-the-floor music some of the time. But, they also serve the best coffee in the City.
Cafe/Bakery , Brunch in Hackney , Highbury
££££ 21 Newington Green
Jolene is a charming all-day café and bakery on Newington Green that you kind of never want to leave. It's spacious, comfortable, and light, meaning it's perfect for a coffee date, breakfast, or even to camp out with your laptop and get some work done.
Caffeinate N8
Cafe/Bakery in Harringay
££££ 140 Crouch Hill
North London's Crouch End isn't short of coffee shops, but this is our pick of the bunch. It keeps long hours, the coffee is always great, and while the bench seats at the front are perfect for when you're just stopping in for a quick coffee and pastry, or to read for a while, the glasshouse area at the back has plenty of space and is far more comfortable when you want to spread out.
Fink's Gillespie
Cafe/Bakery in Highbury
££££ 88 Gillespie Rd
While Fink's first spot is on the other side of Blackstock Road and is a big, homely, corner situation, Fink's Gillespie, just down the street from Arsenal tube is an all-green slip of a spot. It serves the great the same quality coffee though, alongside a simplified menu of pastries, toast, granola, grain bowls
Caravan King's Cross
Cafe/Bakery in Kings Cross
££££ Granary Building, 1 Granary Sq
Caravan is a restaurant, bar and coffee roastery at Granary Square in King's Cross serving some pretty good coffee in an enormous space. Not only do they have extensive restaurant seating, but there's a huge area at the back reserved for coffee drinkers and laptop workers. As well as serving food all-day, you should know that it also stays open until 10.30pm everyday except Sunday, so it's ideal for a post-dinner coffee.
Loft Coffee
Cafe/Bakery in Finchley Road
££££ 4 Canfield Gardens
Loft Coffee is 30 seconds away from the platforms at Finchley Road tube station, which only goes part of the way to explaining why they have a constant flow of customers. The other reasons are that it's comfortable, the coffee is great, and whenever you're here, you'll be wondering whether you should stick around a little bit longer and get one of their excellent scrambled egg and bacon brioche buns.
Greenberry Cafe
Modern European , Cafe/Bakery in Primrose Hill
££££ 101 Regents Park Rd
Greenberry Café is the Primrose Hill spot we'd eat in all the time if we lived in one of those pastel-coloured houses the neighbourhood's famous for, but it's equally a good place to come for a coffee after a walk in the park.
Le Café Alain Ducasse
££££ Unit 16 Coal Drops Yard
If you think you're serious about coffee because you once had a proper cup of Nespresso, then prepare yourself. Because this place in Coal Drops Yard is on another level when it comes to state-of-the-art machinery, expensive coffee tasting, and various brewing methods. Given the meticulous - and at times, mildly hilarious - way this coffee is made (and then served to you like it's the elixir of life), this spot is much more suited to a sit-down situation where you can watch the 'cafelier' practice their 'coffeenomy' and yes, enjoy their arguably excellent coffee. Expect big prices.
Pophams
Cafe/Bakery in Islington
££££ 19 Prebend St
Pophams is either an Islington coffee spot that bakes in house, or an Islington bakery that also serves coffee. Whichever way you want to put it, their coffee is excellent and their baked stuff even better. It's on a quiet corner off the Essex Road, and has a tidy little terrace out front, so it's a great place to head for if you're trying to impress someone with your good taste and decent knowledge of London's backstreets.
British in Stoke Newington
££££ 55 Kynaston Rd
Esters is a great spot for coffee in Stoke Newington as long as you don't go on a weekend between 11am and 1pm, because you'll probably join the back of a 15 minute queue for one of their innovative brunches.
Cafe/Bakery in Harringay , Stroud Green
££££ 43 Quernmore Rd
Don't mistake this tiny coffee shop next to Harringay railway station for a commuter stop. Sure, you can grab a takeaway cup for the ride from this leafy north London hilltop to the City, but you'd be missing out. What you should really do is squeeze in around the single triangular table and get involved with a different side of London, one where strangers become friends over good coffee and excellent toasted crumpet sandwiches.
Lanark Coffee
Cafe/Bakery in Hackney
££££ 262 Hackney Rd
Lanark is an adult shoebox-sized coffee shop on the Hackney Road doing two very nice things. The first is its toasties: soggy, crispy, ruin-your-favourite-white-t-shirt things, filled with cheese and kimchi and other things you want to carelessly stuff into your mouth. The second, is that it talks to people. Everyone in here chats. Not just "hey, how are you" but actually, like, talks. In London. Bizarre, we know. Anyway, come for the toasties and coffee, and stay for the chat.
Allpress Espresso Roastery & Cafe
Cafe/Bakery in Dalston
££££ 55 Dalston Ln
You can get Allpress coffee from countless spots around London, but their two-storey Dalston Lane coffee shop and restaurant is the mothership. Not only is there a coffee lab where you can learn all kinds of nerdy things, they also have a spacious and secluded patio which is perfect for when the sun is shining.
Climpson & Sons
££££ 67 Broadway Market
Climpson and Sons is a busy coffee shop on Broadway Market that's pretty much always busy. At weekends it's almost impossible. It's worth it though. The coffee is some of the best in town and you'll be the envy of east London if you can actually nab a seat. Know that if you can't face the queue, they also have a stall down the street where the wait might be shorter.
Cafe/Bakery in Dalston , Hackney
££££ 51 Wilton Way
With its huge windows, spacious Wilton Way coffee spot Footnote feels very bright and public. It's the perfect kind of place to meet for a low-key coffee date with a person you've never met before, and if things go well you can hang around for brunch which runs from familiar options like avocado on toast, through to less common but equally tasty pico de gallo on sourdough.
% Arabica
What % Arabica lacks in seats, it makes up for in style. This Kyoto-import on Broadway Market serves excellent espresso based drinks, as well as pour over. It also offers a pretty good party trick in which you pick a bean and they'll roast a bag of it in your preferred style while you wait.
Ozone Coffee Roasters
Cafe/Bakery in Shoreditch
££££ 11 Leonard St
Ozone is mostly known for its coffee, and rightly so - they make some of the best in London. You might not know that their enormous Shoreditch spot serves some pretty great food from early till late making it as good for a quick coffee stop as it is for a bit of solo working, a working breakfast or a quick evening bite.
Pizza , Brunch in Bethnal Green
££££ Emma Street
Just like at their original Shoreditch spot, Ozone Bethnal Green serves great coffee and an all-day breakfast. It's bright and fresh and has about eight menu sections meaning it's perfect for all times of day, and all tastes.
Allpress Espresso Bar
££££ 58 Redchurch St
Follow the trail of shoppers and locals grasping coffee cups on Redchurch Street and you'll end up at Allpress Espresso Bar. It's one of the original and best Kiwi coffee shops in Shoreditch, has a minimal and cool feel, and even serves a bit of food, like toasted sandwiches and eggs and soldiers.
Pophams Hackney
££££ 197 Richmond Road
Pophams Hackney is a warehouse-like café and bakery in, wait for it, Hackney. It's the kind of place you pop in for a simple coffee and pastry and then, come the evening, you start eyeing up their evening menu and consider swapping out your bacon and maple for fresh pasta and wine.
Climpson & Sons Spitalfields
Cafe/Bakery in Spitalfields
££££ Pod 3, Old Spitalfields Market
We're not going to lie to you. We have a pretty serious crush on Climpson's nitro coffee. Their industrial-looking kiosk at Old Spitalfields Market is just as serious about their coffee as their cafe on Broadway Market, so expect a carefully curated drinks menu, excellent espresso, and seasonal single origin filter coffee. By the way, there's also espresso martini and coffee beer on tap.
Japanese , Sandwiches , Brunch in Dalston
££££ 20 Dalston Lane
This Asian-influenced café on Dalston Lane has a colourful aesthetic and a Horrors-filled soundtrack. It's perfect for a coffee and a snack with a friend, or for a coffee while doing some work and also deciding that you'd be enjoying your work a whole lot more if you were eating kaya toast soldiers and an onsen egg.
Brickwood Coffee & Bread
Cafe/Bakery in Clapham
££££ 16 Clapham Common South Side
Brickwood is a cosy coffee shop opposite Clapham Common tube station that's excellent for pitching up in for a few hours, if need be. During the week it feels like a (non-overwhelming) working space, thanks to the cheery table service and the different people doing different things dipping in and out. Though upstairs is a little competitive, there's always down if natural light isn't your thing. Coffee-wise it's pretty good, and there's a load of freshly baked bread and pastries, as well as a brunch-ish menu too.
Jocelyn Low
Monmouth Coffee The Borough
Cafe/Bakery in London Bridge
££££ 2 Park Street, London SE1 9AB, Southwark
Monmouth Borough Market is a popular coffee shop in Borough. It's the perfect place around the market for coffee and a light bite. Arrive here in the morning or mid-afternoon if you want to avoid the peak times queues.
Watch House Tower Bridge
Cafe/Bakery in Bermondsey
££££ 37 Shad Thames
Shad Thames is that street next to Tower Bridge with those iron walkways that you know off Instagram. It can get a bit full of tourists round here, but Watch House is a slick, comfortable spot that attracts locals too. If you're just stopping in for coffee, you'll be probably be sitting at the front counter area rather than the large comfortable tables at the back, but the service is snappy and friendly, and the coffee is some of the best in this part of town.
Cafe/Bakery in Battersea
££££ 13A Parkgate Rd
This Battersea sun trap serves the kind of coffee that it's worth crossing London for. They do all the usual espresso drinks, as well as signatures like palawan honey latte, and barako coffee, a distinctive flavoured bean from the Philippines. Their pastries are also on point with options like the bibingka (a rice muffin baked and served in a banana leaf) and cassava cakes making a welcome change from croissants.
Stir Coffee
Cafe/Bakery in Brixton
££££ 111 Brixton Hill
Stir Coffee is a Brixton Hill spot that has both the cute factor in the form of a tiny black dog that sleeps under one of their rustic bookshelves, and what we like to define as the catch-up factor. Basically, it's a great place to hit up for a casual chat with a mate, getting some work done, or simply grabbing a drink on the move.
The Black Lab Coffee House
££££ 18 Clapham Common Southside
Lab is short for labrador, but it's also short for laboratory. So, it's no surprise that Black Lab is the kind of coffee shop that serves stuff out of beakers and whatnot. Chemistry groupie-ing aside, this spot in Clapham is a very relaxed and comfortable choice if you want to hang out and catch up with some friends out front, upstairs, or downstairs.
The Black Cab Coffee Co
££££ 1 Riverlight Quay
Black Cab Coffee Co is an ultra-modern feeling coffee shop in the rapidly changing development at Nine Elms. It's a comfortable and airy spot, and if you spend five minutes there you'll probably see a dozen regulars pop in and out for their coffee. If you spend longer you should dive into their all-day breakfast menu. The eggs benedict is particularly good.
Coleman Coffee Roasters
Cafe/Bakery in Waterloo
££££ 20 Lower Marsh
Coleman Coffee Roasters near Waterloo is that perfect-looking coffee shop that you might accidentally get talking to a stranger in. You'll become firm friends over your shared love of terrazzo, smooth espresso, and Vichy Catalan sparkling water. You might also share something from their selection of pastries, sweet things, and snacks. Warning: if you're planning this kind of scenario you should know that they close at 3pm.
Cafe/Bakery in Wandsworth
££££ 4 Bellevue Parade
Flotsam and Jetsam is a cute neighbourhood café on Wandsworth Common that gets pretty busy, so if you're rolling with a gang you might not find space. Inside there's an airy feel, but our choice when the sun is shining is to grab one of their bench seats out front.
Old Spike Roastery
Cafe/Bakery in Peckham
££££ 54 Peckham Rye
Old Spike is part roastery, part coffee shop, and part social enterprise, working to train and offer meaningful employment to homeless people. It's also the best place in Peckham for coffee. It's a bit out of the way, but it's perfect if you're on your way up to Peckham Rye, or either before or after you've eaten at Mr Bao across the road.
Scooter Caffè
££££ 132 Lower Marsh
When you've had your fill of icily distant baristas, latte art, and the kind of tastefully bland music that soundtracks most London coffee shops, Scooter Caffè near Waterloo is the place for you. This converted motorcycle garage is dusty and distressed, and is filled with old Italian posters, many of which feature nuns riding scooters, obviously. It plays excellent music - mostly from the 1950s, has a cute little patio, serves pretty good coffee and is open late into the night when it takes on more of a dive bar feel.
F. Mondays
££££ 112a Brixton Hill
We're entirely on board with the sentiment of F. Mondays and we're entirely on board with this Brixton spot's coffee too. Cool and casual, this place has a pretty impressive collection of miniature cacti inside, but our favourite thing about this place is out back: their cute hidden garden.
Cafe/Bakery in Camberwell
££££ 70 Camberwell Church Street
Fun fact: iconic 2013 hit Timber by Pitbull and Kesha was actually inspired entirely by this Camberwell neighbourhood cafe. Okay, it wasn't. We made that up. But given the amount of timber here, it absolutely should have been. As well as having local artists work for sale on the walls and generally being charming as fuck, this place also does some great light bites. Although it can fill up during peak hours, there's plenty of extra space downstairs.
The Watch House
££££ 199 Bermondsey St
What The Watch House in Bermondsey lacks in size it makes up for in character. In fact, if it isn't London's most charismatic coffee spot then we have no idea what is. It has a roaring fire, great sandwiches and pastries, an excellent espresso bar, and - as its name suggests - is housed in a converted 19th century guard's shelter on the edge of a graveyard. It's also open till 6pm which is a good two hours later than most cafés we know.
Dark Habit
Cafe/Bakery in Kilburn
££££ 72A Salusbury Road
Dark Habit is a stylish and calm coffee shop in Queens Park. Seating is limited and it can get quite busy during peak times, but for most of the day you'll easily find space at one of their larger tables, or at the window. It's the perfect place to spend a few hours, partly because of the great quality coffee, and partly because of the excellent soundtrack.
Café Tangerine
Cafe/Bakery in Kensington
££££ 17 Queensberry Place
Café Tangerine is a simple, slightly kitsch café inside the French Institute that's also home to Ciné Lumière. Yeah, that's right. It's called culture, look it up. Although you won't find any spectacular brewing methods here, it's a super useful spot to keep in mind when you're in Kensington and everywhere is absolutely rammo. Plus, they have fresh madeleines and some decent light lunch options.
Cafe/Bakery in Victoria
££££ 4 Butler Pl
Quality coffee options around Westminster are fairly limited, but Formative is a slick spot in the base of a new build at the station end of Victoria Street and it's perfect for when you're in the area and want a proper cup of something. It's also a pretty good spot if you've got a bit of work to do.
Cafe/Bakery in Hammersmith
££££ 28 Fulham Palace Rd
This spacious but slightly scruffy sliver of a coffee spot is in the shadow of the Hammersmith flyover. As well as serving excellent coffee and an all-day menu, it also stays open late when there's a gig at the Hammersmith Apollo around the corner.
Lowry & Baker
Cafe/Bakery in Notting Hill
££££ 339 Portobello Rd.
Lowry and Baker is a homely little café in Portobello Road that serves breakfast and brunch on some cute vintage-type crockery, along with cakes and other sweet things. It's a casual neighbourhood spot, so if you're just getting coffee at the weekend, know that it's going to be busy and you'll probably have settle for a takeaway situation. If you want to sit down, go during the week.
Cafe/Bakery , Brunch in Chelsea
££££ 9 Duke Of York Square
Vardo is a striking and spacious spot in Chelsea with huge windows facing directly onto the King's Road. It's as perfect for a coffee date as it is for a solo drink and some people watching, and if you're in the mood for something warm and comforting, and you're a fan of cinnamon, try their golden spiced milk. If you want to say for hours you can do that too, because it's also an all-day restaurant.
Fernandez & Wells
££££ 8 Exhibition Rd
Despite sounding like the greatest detective duo that have ever lived, Fernandez and Wells is actually your classic, indie-look coffee spot. Five minutes from all of the big museums in South Kensington, the coffee is a single-origin situation, and although their tall stools can be particularly butt-numbing, there are lots of plugs and some hidden seating around the corner from the till.
Greenspeares
Cafe/Bakery in Chelsea
££££ 23 Walton Street
Greenspeares is the lazy kind of residential cafe that feels immune to one espresso squatters and plug point politics. It's a ten minute stroll from Knightsbridge tube and, if you're looking to peacefully set up shop for a few hours, or for a catch-up in their loung-like downstairs, then this is the place. The coffee's decent and there are a load of salad-y options and freshly baked cakes too.
Cafe/Bakery in Shepherds Bush
££££ Ariel Way
If you've ever been craving a great cup of coffee (and perhaps some peace and quiet) while in Westfield White City, you should know that no such thing exists. You can get a great cup of coffee at Barino though. It's outside John Lewis and provides about as quiet a corner as you'll find in this vortex of commerce. Don't expect peace, but you should know that their small selection of pastries will keep you sane until you find some.
Granger & Co Notting Hill
Australian , Cafe/Bakery in Notting Hill
££££ 175 Westbourne Grove
Granger and Co is an Australian all-day restaurant in Notting Hill. They serve food, but it's a great spot for a coffee date or breakfast. They have a walk-in policy so if you go at peak-times you might have to wait little bit. Little may or may not be an understatement.
££££ 3 Launceston Place
The area around High Street Kensington is a bit chain-y, so it's worth taking a ten minute walk down to Hjem if you're after a seriously good cup of coffee. This Danish café at Launceston Place is in one the prettiest corners of London and it doesn't let the corner down. There's a bench for two out front, but it's also worth knowing that there's a tiny and kind of secret patio out back.
Swallow Coffee Shop
Cafe/Bakery in Hammersmith , Shepherds Bush
££££ 75 Goldhawk Road
If you like Farrow and Ball paint shades and a bit of foliage with your coffee, then Swallow next to Goldhawk Road station has got you covered. This is a bright and spacious corner spot with lots of seating and a selection of sandwiches made to order from 9:30 every day. They also serve beer and wine from noon, which is our idea of a really good coffee shop.

Are You My Comrade? part 1
May 3, 2016 Sadie the Goat	3 Comments
Welcome to "Are You My Comrade?" where I will evaluate fictional revolutionaries on the basis of whether or not I would personally like to hang out and/or revolt with them. This will be an ongoing, multipart series, and is theoretically infinite, since I don't see us running out of fictional revolutionaries any time soon. Suggestions for future entries are welcome; leave us a comment with a fictional revolutionary you'd like to see judged in a highly subjective way!
Les Amis de l'ABC, Les Miserables
Oh you guys. You're so passionate, and sincere and sincerely passionate. I think my favorite moment in any musical ever is when Marius comes into the revolutionary plotting meeting singing the "I just saw a girl for like three seconds and now everything has changed oh my god you guys" song and gets told "dude shut up, we're trying to plan an insurrection over here. You can chime in with whatever you want when we sing Red and Black if you must but tbh no one cares about your feelings right now and don't you dare try to bring your heterosexuality into Do You Hear the People Sing." It's pretty satisfying.
Are they a little annoying? Hell yes. They're a bunch of self-righteous children of the bourgeoisie. They hardly seem to do anything besides hang out and plot in a café because OF COURSE they plot in a café, they're middle class French intellectuals for god's sake. On the other hand, unlike most such guys, they put their money exactly where their mouths are. The stage musical gives the progress of their attempted uprising less time than it deserves (which, I mean, I understand, the musical is already like four thousand years long) but in the book, they don't just die nobly in balletic poses on the barricades; at one point Marius stands on the barricade with a keg of powder in one hand and a torch in the other, threatening to blow that shit up if the National Guardsmen don't back off. Which they do, because no one gets paid enough to call that kind of bluff, especially in 19th century France. Enjolras, who is basically as close to being the embodiment of revolutionary spirit as you can get without being a seminude allegorical neo-classical woman waving a tricolor, doesn't die on the barricades at all in the book, but is executed while standing unarmed besides Grantaire who is so inspired by him that he quits being drunk just long enough to be a martyr and they die hand in hand and it's really just such a good scene and Enjolras is this hilariously angelic figure who is just too pure, too gay, too chaste, and too perfect for this cruel world and fuck yeah, he is invited to any and all revolutions, AND parties.
The whole existence of Les Miserables comes from fifteen minutes that Victor Hugo spent ducking into a doorway to avoid being shot by crossfire during the June Rebellion, and I kind of can't get over how nice it is that while dodging bullets he apparently decided "whoever organized this, I'm pretty sure one of them was like if Hadrian's lover Antinous were a republican. I should be sure to make that exact comparison in the book I have just decided to write about this. I should devote thousands of words to how pretty he was."
Also the name of their group is a pun, because ABC in French sounds like "abaisses" which means "abased ones" or "downtrodden" so saying they're Les Amis de l'ABC means they're the friends of the downtrodden, but like, with a pun, and you just know they were so fucking proud of themselves for coming up with it, and that's just goddamn adorable. I am fully on board with revolutionary dad jokes.
Marius is boring, but I guess someone had to live, if only to sing Empty Chairs at Empty Tables and provide yet more redemption for the clearly addicted to redemption Jean Valjean.
10/10 would sing with on the barricades
Tyler Durden, Fight Club
We already have a whole article on this website about how much we hate this goddamn movie. I haven't read the book. I am confident I would hate it too, and don't care enough to be proven wrong; if you say it's less awful, fine, but I'm not investigating further. The point is, no, Tyler Durden is not my comrade, and the one thing I identify with him on is that one of my rules is also Do Not Talk About Fight Club. Not if you want me to like you.
Tom Branson, Downton Abbey
Oh Tom. You are a victim of bad, bad, BAD writing. Downton Abbey is a really terrible show. I think the first season was ok, for an Edwardian soap opera, but it just got sillier and sillier and worse and worse as time went on. Your plotline had the potential to make things interesting, which is exactly why the writers squished any interestingness out of your character as soon as they could, because the writers of Downton Abbey love the old ways of the aristocracy and hate anything that might be more interesting than the problems of unbelievably wealthy people. Introducing an Irish rebel socialist as the chauffeur at the stuffiest aristocratic house in the history of stuffiness should have been cool, and it was, for a minute, when you and the youngest daughter of house fell in love and ran off to Ireland where you fell in with radicals who burned down an Anglo-Irish mansion, but then you got all freaked out, Sibyl died of that's-not-really-how-eclampsia-generally-works (the sphygmomanometer was invented in 1881 for goodness sakes; you're telling me TWO doctors, The Sensible One and The Famous Snooty One both failed to take the blood pressure of a patient with a suspected high blood pressure condition and instead stood there arguing about her urine sample and whether she had edema or fat ankles you are both terrible doctors wtf), and by the last season you're living in Downton, raising your and Sibyl's child to be a lord, breaking up with brilliant women for being rude about the upper classes, and saying things like "I've changed my mind about capitalism."
I should hate you, but instead I just hate the writers.
First season you is welcome to hang out, but the pod person who took over after you came back from Ireland can fuck right off.
Actually…I've just thought of something. Downton Abbey is a more interesting show if 1) you assume Bates and Anna are in fact guilty of every murder they've been implicated in (which is a surprising number of murders for a non-mystery show; seriously, these two are murderers. Or at least Bates is, I haven't decided) and 2) Tom is in fact acting as some sort of socialist sleeper agent. If that's true, Tom could be poised to change history; he found out a weird embarrassing fact about Neville Chamberlin when he was on the show for no reason, and could create a whole alternate timeline if he leverages it against him at a key point a few years down the road.
Ok, Tom. You're back in, but only if it turns out you're under DEEP cover this whole time.
PS watch out for Bates that man will absolutely fucking kill you.
5/10 why does no one on this show age?
V, V for Vendetta
Ok…this might have to be a whole other article.
I love the book. I do not hate the movie, but somehow every time I talk about it I sound like I do. I think it's because the things that I don't like about it are numerous and include things like "the ending." V in the books is an awesome revolutionary who doesn't so much lead a revolution as provide space for one to exist. He knocks out government surveillance, and while the cameras are off her, a woman buys a gun she will later use to kill the nation's dictator, unprompted by V. V in the movie tells everyone to show up at the same time and the same place, and then the government is overthrown (the soldiers and cops don't shoot anyone. Why this happens is never adequately addressed) while he orchestrates the shooting of the dictator himself. It's an unearned ending, especially compared to the much more complicated one in the book, and moreover has given a certain generation of activists the impression that you can tell people "everyone show up on this spot on this date and, well, the revolution will occur."
This has caused me enough personal annoyance to cause me to resent the movie just a little bit.
Plus the book has a whole sequence, the Vicious Cabaret, that would have made for a wonderfully Brechtian musical number, and the fact that the movie didn't take advantage of that is unconscionable. If you have the opportunity to Brecht, you Brecht, goddamnit.
But that's kind of not the point. I could write a whole article about how much better the movie could have been later, or just continue to rant about it in person every time the subject comes up; both options will probably be equally annoying for everyone else.
Is V my comrade? I mean, he seems pretty competent, I love a good masked antihero as much as the next person and I respect his commitment to preserving works of art, but, uh, dude's going to have to quit kidnapping and torturing his friends for me to decide to become one of them.
I have no idea/10 because it's impossible to rate two different versions of the character who I feel so differently about without writing a separate essay, which I will maybe do sometime.
Lauren Olamina, Parable of the Sower
Shit, we've got an ACTUAL revolutionary over here, albeit one who doesn't necessarily call herself one. Lauren is awesome. And ambiguous. And awesome.
Charismatic, brilliant, empathic (more in a this-qualifies-as-a-serious-disability way then a Counselor-Troi-senses-the-Romulans-are-hiding-something way), Lauren builds a community that changes the world. Most fictional revolutionaries are either fighters, or armchair revolutionaries who talk a lot and don't do shit, but Lauren is neither; she's the kind of revolutionary who actually builds alternatives, and she's incredibly fucking good at it. When she has to organize active resistance after her community is violently taken over by Christian fascists, she's fucking good at that too. She makes mistakes, because she's a human being, but there are definitely worse ideologies out there than "god is change" and she's the opposite of dogmatic about her beliefs. Which is good, because I have a hard time taking stuff like that seriously, and I definitely want to join Earthseed, and it's nice to know that I don't have to be super into it to be allowed to be a part of it.
Is she a cult leader? I mean, maybe a teeny tiny little bit, but honestly, her group, if you have to call it a cult, seems really nice, for a cult, and if Donald Trump wins we are going to be living in exactly the world that Octavia Butler wrote here, and I am going to be desperately hoping we've got people like Lauren around.
10/10 please send me to the stars

Lion-o regretted buying second hand Glo-sticks.
I like the fact Lion-o here has a bit of a beer belly straining at his shirt.
Lion-o and Wednesday Adams. I've seen worse pairings.
Is that Lars Ulrich in the background? Why looks he so melty?
Not necessarily in a good way. I'll never forget having kidney stones, but that doesn't mean I'd like to have 'em again.
What are the odds that both of them would get hit in the left sides of their faces with shovels?
Dorian La Padura? He seems to be old enough, though now he is a fine artist and colour consultant. Difficult to find anything about him except for a few abstracty paintings and a violently yellow door for which he suggested the colour.
He did illustrate a Philip Roth story in Penthouse in 1977.
It's hard to believe … but this is better than the first edition cover art. I like the hayseed lion look better than the whatever it is behind broken bars dealy.
@Pat: I suspect your identification of the artist as Dorian La Padura is correct, for all that his current work is very abstract.
@Alessandra: that is a fine cover. My eye wanders naturally around the lion, and the lines that lie on it liven it likewise.
Alternate ending to Beverly Hills 90210. Shannon Doherty and Luke Perry.
With a sense of gloomy foreboding, Leo flicked his Giant-Size Flame-O-Fast gas lighter… and nothing happened. And he knew from the look on his wife's face that the furry barbeque had been ruined.
On, it's a rifle. I thought it was one of those things you could use to force the ignition on a Saab.
Yoss: Depends on what part of town they're in.
The woman looks kind of like a middle-aged Jenna Coleman. Lion Man looks fine.
@Anna T.: Leo is actually Matt Smith without make-up.
I wonder if he has ever had any other hairstyle besides the built in mullet.
They were right. They said gay marriage would lead to something like this.
Ah hear tell you said "The Lion King" ain't such a good pitcher.
I distinctly remember an SFBC cover which was NOT the one given in the Wiki article, but it's also not on ISFDB (though we know their standards, eh?). It was mostly a white background with a simple line drawing of a lion face behind broken bars. I don't have it any more to check. But it sure beat this one and several of the others.
German cover… ach du lieber! Lion's become an ape!
Dutch cover might need Space Sheep.
of negativity directed towards this piece.
Or well painted is hampered. It's easy to bully, and not so easy to sit at an easel for weeks trying to bring life to oil paint with hand to eye coordination and great patience.
Greetings Mr Padura and welcome to our site. You misunderstand what we do here. The artwork here is (for the most part) excellent and your talent is to be admired. We make jokes at the subject matter. Not the talent.
Don't take it to heart, Mr La Padura – we're just arseing about. And if nothing else, this site makes for industrial strength arseing about.
Mr La Padura, I too can appreciate the talent and artistic skill needed to sit at an easel for weeks creating a painting. Since I cannot do what you do I am always curious about the mechanics of the craft. Please tell me, how difficult was it to get the lion-man to wear clothes and sit for his portrait?
@Bibliomancer—Your comment brilliantly illuminates the fine, fuzzy line between "arseing about" and incisive critical analysis. GSS!
@B. Chiclitz – Thank you. Remember, always #BeBest!
@BC – Ha Ha GSS! I suppose the cover models from last Thursday misread that as #BeBreast.
What makes it look off is the near-photorealistic lady on the left. She's got shadows aplenty, he does not.
@Monty: yes, that's so. Besides his own key light, he also apparently has a hairdresser (groomer?) and a good supply of hairspray.

Super Friends! Season One, Volume Two
After several other DVD releases from different eras of the show, Super Friends! Season One, Volume Two returns to the earliest days of the cartoon. It's a minimal set, two discs, eight episodes, from the first season, featuring Wendy, Marvin, and Wonderdog. Along with its companion Volume One, the two sets contain all the hour-long episodes (about 45 minutes here, without commercials) that launched the show in 1973.
Modern viewers or those new to the show will likely find these episodes slow-paced. Each has only one story that takes up the whole three-quarter hour. And remember when they were made, before fast edits and while they were actively concerned about what lessons cartoons gave kids. There isn't a lot of fighting, more talking, with lots of Ted Knight narration. Powers are only used to fix things, never to attack another person.
The plots revolve around problem-solving and getting along, which is something of a waste when you've got the potential excitement of Superman, Batman, Robin, Wonder Woman, and Aquaman. (I don't know why Flash is on the cover; he's not in this set.) The stories are simple, aimed directly at kids, often explicitly educational, and the animation is the usual limited Hanna-Barbera style, with minimal movement in any given shot to minimize cost. The characters stand around in groups and chat a lot, but kids should enjoy the imaginative concepts. Wendy and Marvin are very much a featured part of each case, giving youngsters characters to envision themselves as, working with the super-powered heroes.
The first episode, "The Balloon People", misses a key joke. It's about an alien inflatable family — Dad, Mom, son Plinky, and dog Grunk — who visit Earth. The dog, sadly, does not look like a twisted balloon but a standard animal, only blue, like the alien people. Although many misunderstandings occur, no fights happen, which make it a very talky installment, especially once the visitors start explaining how they need a new place to live because their planet became over-polluted. That's the message and learning opportunity — every episode must have one. Introducing the aliens to Earth also provides lots of chances to drop in factoids for the educational quota.
The other episodes included are:
"The Fantastic FRERPs" — about plastics, and the Super Friends play in a golf tournament where they demonstrate trick shots
"The Ultra Beam" — a mysterious ray causes material to collapse due to earth tremors, and I learned, among other mining facts, that "you can't run engines on orange juice", you need oil for lubrication
"The Menace of the White Dwarf" — a gravity-heavy star is being used to steal things by the evil Raven (no relation to any other DC character of that name)
"The Mysterious Moles" — Wendy and Marvin are confused by a double-faced building and a missing tree and boulder, while the Super Friends investigate stolen industrial air conditioners in a mystery that involves caves and a giant underground drill
"Gulliver's Gigantic Goof" — the audience watching a rocket launch to Mars is shrunk by someone who lives in a castle, talks like Peter Lorre, and has a Siamese cat named Igor; when all the heroes are two inches high, Green Arrow makes a guest appearance
"The Planet Splitter" — a rare jewel is stolen, which sends the heroes to the circus in this Superman-heavy episode that recaps his origin
"The Watermen" — a coral reef is being damaged, and a red tide threatens, due to aliens taking silicon from the seawater
None feature known villains. The only extra on this set is a trivia challenge game, asking questions about Superman, Aquaman, Wonder Woman, and several categories about Batman and Robin. You can play one or two players. If you get a question wrong, you get a picture of Wonder Woman falling on her butt and they don't tell you what the right answer was. When we played, KC thought I got all the easy ones, and few of the questions seemed to relate to the episodes actually in this set. The knowledge level needed is moderate-to-high, not for newcomers to the series or characters.
A Brief Super Friends History
I find the Super Friends show sequence very confusing, perhaps because I didn't watch it much as a kid. Even this DVD acknowledges the mixed history, with a back-cover blurb that reads:
Collect all the Super Friends Series on DVD: Super Friends Season One Volume One, The All-New Super Friends Hour, Challenge of the Super Friends, The World's Greatest Super Friends, Super Friends: The Legendary Super Powers Show, and The Super Powers Team Galactic Guardians!
My, that's a lot to keep straight. And the ad copy doesn't even mention Super Friends: The Lost Episodes. The sets are titled after the various titles the cartoon ran under, which is historically thoughtful but confusing to the casual shopper. The All-New Super Friends Hour was when Zan and Jayna joined. That show was also released in two sets, as Volume One and Volume Two. Challenge of the Super Friends was the one where they fought the villain super-group the Legion of Doom. There's also a Super Friends Volume 2 that collects the non-LOD cartoons that were running at the same time as Challenge. The World's Greatest Super Friends isn't out yet on DVD, but give them time.
Still, this is an excellent package for its three core audiences: 1) nostalgic parents who want to share their favorite cartoons with their children or just enjoy their memories, 2) parents who want to let their kids watch superheroes but are leery of the PG-13-rated material that's being created now (such as older-skewing Batman: Under the Red Hood, which is one of the trailers on this set, although inappropriate for this audience), and 3) superhero or animation completists who want a collection of one of the significant cartoon shows of the 70s, one whose look and design are still influencing artists today. (The studio provided a review copy.)
2) parents who want to let their kids watch superheroes but are leery of the PG-13-rated material that's being created now (such as older-skewing Batman: Under the Red Hood, which is one of the trailers on this set, although inappropriate for this audience)
I fall into that category. It's great that there are so many superhero cartoons coming out these days, but I mostly find myself reaching back to the past for my young kids. For example, my kids love the old Filmation Batman cartoons with Adam West and Burt Ward. I can't stand them (and I love the Batman TV show), but they're harmless fun without some of the harsher aspects of many of today's cartoons.
I will say that Marvel's Superhero Squad is a nice exception, as it'd explicitly geared toward younger kids.
Chad, you remind me that "all ages" (meaning truly appealing to multiple generations) is a rare thing. Too often it's used interchangeably with "for kids", but they aren't the same thing. There's nothing wrong with doing entertainment for kids that bores or isn't otherwise appealing to adults. Trying to be all things to all audiences is a trap superhero content can fall into.

Bring some added fun and colour to your kitchen with this charming handcrafted linen tea towel. The hand-printed Forchette design was made in 1949 by the celebrated Italian artisan, Luigi Bertozzi. And the crumpled linen used to create this tea towel is the finest quality, traditionally woven, natural organic linen. So not only does it feel beautifully soft to the touch, but it is also extremely easy to use and to take care of. After use, you can simply leave it to dry naturally, and it gains beauty over time as the character grows.

(The Nosher via JTA)-There's a reason chicken is a bit of a Friday night staple: Before Jews came to America, red meat simply wasn't abundantly available and therefore saved for special occasions. But also, chicken is a relatively easy dinner to prepare, especially when you roast a whole chicken.
This honey harissa and lemon chicken is as easy as any other roast chicken recipe, with a slightly sweet, slightly spicy twist.
You may be asking, what the heck is harissa?
Harissa is a North African pepper and chili condiment or paste that was brought to Israel by the Jews of Tunisia and Morocco, and quickly became a popular flavoring. It can be found in dried form in the Israeli outdoor markets or as a paste in jars. Even many American supermarkets like Whole Foods, Stop & Shop, Shop-Rite and Trader Joe's are carrying harissa (usually in the ethnic aisle with other Middle Eastern products). You can even try your hand at making your own.
There are so many ways to use harissa, from these lemon potatoes with harissa mayo to a spring greens fritatta.
But I recently got my hands on some N.Y. Shuk harissa, and it is so much better than trying to make your own or many of the other store-bought varieties I have tried. It's smoky, deep and not too spicy. And I have made chicken with it several times-to the delight of my family and friends.
I like roasting a whole chicken using an upright roaster. I highly recommend investing in one-it makes such a different for a super moist bird on the inside, while still achieving that coveted crispy skin. If you want to add a rinsed and drained can of chickpeas to the bottom of your pan for the last 15 minutes, they are delicious with this chicken, but the step is completely optional.
1. Mix together honey, harissa, lemon zest and lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper. Place chicken in a sealable plastic bag and pour in marinade. Massage the chicken until completely coated. Throw in lemon halves if desired.
2. Place in fridge and allow to marinate for 1 hour or up to 24 hours.
3. Preheat oven to 450 F.
4. Place chicken on an upright roaster or on a baking sheet.
5. Cook for 55-60 minutes or until a meat thermometer (stick into thickest part of chicken without touching bone) reads 165 F.
6. Allow to cool slightly. Cut into pieces and serve.

Navrongo NPP members demand resignation of executives
Politics December 11, 2020December 11, 2020 Stephen
A strong call has gone to the entire executive body of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Navrongo Central Constituency to resign their positions immediately.
The demand, which comes three days after Ghana went to the polls, is linked to what NPP supporters in the constituency have described as the worst humiliation the party has suffered at elections in the prominent constituency since the country gained independence from colonial control in 1957.
The NPP supporters, who go by the name "Kofi Adda Grassroots for Peace and Development (KAG-PED)" and are furious over the party's defeat at the parliamentary election in the constituency, made the call at a news conference convened Thursday.
"We are calling for the immediate resignation of the entire Navrongo Central Constituency NPP executive and the Municipal Chief Executive for their inability to keep the party united in the constituency, thus the humiliating performance of the party in the just-ended general elections. It is shameful to note that NPP lost in the polling stations where the MCE, the Chairman, the First Vice-Chairman and even the parliamentary candidate herself, Hon. Tangoba Abayage, hail from.
"This defeat is so abysmal. You can imagine the NDC (National Democratic Congress) defeating the NPP with 12,000 votes difference. It is a disgrace. It is something that has never occurred in the annals of politics in Navrongo. How can you be holding a title and you get so defeated that you cannot recover immediately?" KAG-PED's Spokesperson, Martin Agyua, said at the conference.
The NPP obtained 15,821 votes as against the NDC's 26,947 votes at the 2020 parliamentary election that also saw the Progressive People's Party (PPP) capture 503 votes and 1,072 ballots rejected from a total of 44,343 votes cast in the constituency.
Kofi Adda disappointed us by listening to his bosses to not go independent— NPP supporters
The Member of Parliament (MP) for Navrongo Central, Joseph Kofi Adda, was subjected to "unfair ridicule" after he lost his re-election bid to the Upper East Regional Minister, Tangoba Abayage, at the NPP's primary election in June, 2020.
He resolved to go solo after the loss. But some superior powers restrained him, according to his supporters who told newsmen at the press confab that they were disappointed the Aviation Minister did not go independent as he had decided.
"The entire executive, what we know is that they had an ill-conceived mind and what they did dwindled the efforts all of us made with respect to the NPP's interest. And so they should go. They should go and allow us to reorganise the party. If Hon. Kofi Adda decides to come in 2024, that is the prayer of everybody in Navrongo. The last time, after the primaries, he said the whole of Navrongo would go independent.
"If they had allowed it to happen, the seat would have been retained. The seat would have been brought back to NPP. But it didn't happen because Kofi Adda is a listening man. He disappointed us. Kofi Adda himself disappointed us because some of us were calling for him to go independent because we love the party, we didn't want to lose the seat and we told him that if he won, we would send the seat back to NPP and we would remain NPP. But he listened to his bosses and that is why he honourably rescinded the decision; he didn't go independent. And here we are, the executive led us to a very disgraceful defeat. We don't want it to happen again. So, we are calling that they should step aside. That's an honourable thing to do," said Gilbert Baase, a member of the group.

Q: no animation when using modal segue I have a view controller and have a few objects that I have some simply animations hooked up to.
[UIView animateWithDuration:0.25
                          delay: 10.1
                        options: UIViewAnimationOptionCurveEaseIn
                     animations:^{
                         addNameViewConstraint.constant = 10;
                         addNameView.alpha = 1.0;
                         [self.view layoutIfNeeded];   // move
                     }
                     completion:nil];

    [UIView animateWithDuration:0.25
                          delay: 0.15
                        options: UIViewAnimationOptionCurveEaseIn
                     animations:^{
                         addEmailViewConstraint.constant = 10;
                         addEmailView.alpha = 1.0;
                         [self.view layoutIfNeeded];   // move
                     }
                     completion:nil];

When I was using the push segue the animation works fine. But when I switched to using a modal segue the animation stopped working. I increased the delay in the first one to 10.2 seconds thinking that maybe it was animating before I got to see it. I am calling this animation in the viewWillAppear method. Again works if I'm doing a push segue.. but not for modal. Any ideas?

A:
I am calling this animation in the viewWillAppear method

This is a common mistake. viewWillAppear: is too soon to start the animation. The view has not yet appeared so there is nothing to animate. Move the animateWithDuration:... code to viewDidAppear: and all will be well.
This is, however, as you say in your comment, insufficiently satisfying. What you are after is that the modal transition should be happening and your extra animations within the new view should already be happening as the modal view is in the process of appearing. Instead, with viewDidAppear:, the modal view finishes appearing, it settles into place, and then your other animations start, which is not as cool.
One solution might be to move the animations again, this time to viewWillLayoutSubviews. This is trickier because this method gets called a lot. You will need to use a BOOL instance variable as a flag to ensure that your animations run only once. Thus, this should work (I tried it and it seemed fine):
-(void)viewWillLayoutSubviews {
    if (!self->didLayout) {
        self->didLayout = YES;
        [UIView animateWithDuration:0.25 animations:^{
            // mess with constraint constants here
            [self.subv layoutIfNeeded];
        }];
    }
}

Alice Elisabeth Weidel (Gütersloh, ) é uma política alemã. Juntamente com Alexander Gauland, ela foi a principal candidata do seu partido de extrema-direita nacionalista, Alternativa para a Alemanha, nas eleições federais na Alemanha em 2017. Nessas eleições, o seu partido recebeu 13% dos votos, o que colocou a AfD como o terceiro maior partido do parlamento alemão.

Weidel é declaradamente lésbica. Sua companheira, Sarah Bossard, uma produtora de cinema suíça nascida no Sri Lanka, e os dois filhos do casal moram na Suíça, na fronteira com a Alemanha. Contudo, seu partido votou contra o casamento gay e a adoção de crianças por casais homossexuais. Weidel não criticou a postura do seu partido. Ela afirmou que a união civil já equipara casais gays aos heterossexuais. Weidel também afirmou que considera o aumento no número de islâmicos na Alemanha uma ameaça aos homossexuais.

Q: Ошибка при навигации в викторине android Делаю викторину-опросник в приложении. Есть две кнопки вперед и назад. Есть массив вопросов которые я показываю. Обязательное условие - возможность показать 5 последних отвеченных вопросов. С сервера приходят все вопросы (в том числе и отвеченные), все ответы (если они есть). После того как все получено, я фильтрую не отвеченные вопросы и складываю в  массив. Так же в отдельный массив я складываю последние 5 вопросов с ответами. Сейчас работает так - после получения, фильтрации я отображаю первый не отвеченный вопрос, при этом кнопка показа предыдущего вопроса активна а показа следующего неактивна (пока нет ответа). Я сейчас могу кнопкой назад просмотреть 5 отвеченных вопросов с их вариантами ответов. Могу пройти от начала массива и до конца, а потом кнопка назад становится неактивна пока не нажимается кнопка вперед. Суть проблемы в том что я могу нормально перемещаться по вопросам только если кнопкой назад дойти до последнего отвеченного вопроса, если к примеру я захочу посмотреть первый отвеченный вопрос, а потом вернуться к первому не отвеченному вопросу то мне придется нажать на кнопку "Вперед" два раза. Вот код обработки нажатий на кнопки:
updateAdapter(0, questionsIndex, answersOptions, 1, ArrayList<Int>())
questionsIndex += 1

next_question.setOnClickListener {
 if (questionsIndex != questionType1.lastIndex) {
 if (userAnswerId != null) {
   Singleton.apiService().sendAnswer("Bearer " + context!!.getSharedPreferences("app_data", 0).getString("access_token", "")!!, OutAnswerModel(questionType1[questionsIndex - 1].id!!, userAnswerId!!))
  .enqueue(object : Callback<OutAnswerModel> {
  override fun onResponse(call: Call<OutAnswerModel>, response: Response<OutAnswerModel>) {
 if (response.isSuccessful) {
  lastAnswersArray.add(0, questionType1[questionsIndex - 1])
  userAnswers.add(0, userAnswerId!!)
  userAnswerId = null
  userAnswers.removeAt(userAnswers.lastIndex)
  lastAnswersArray.removeAt(lastAnswersArray.lastIndex)

  updateAdapter(0, questionsIndex, answersOptions, 1, ArrayList<Int>())
  questionsIndex += 1
 }
  }

   override fun onFailure(call: Call<OutAnswerModel>, t: Throwable) {

}
})
} else if (answerIndex in -1..4) {
when {
answerIndex >= 0 -> {
updateAdapter(1, answerIndex, answersOptions, 2, userAnswers[answerIndex])
}
answerIndex < 0 -> {
answerIndex = 0
updateAdapter(0, questionsIndex - 1, answersOptions, 1, ArrayList<Int>())
}
}
answerIndex -= 1
prev_question.isEnabled = true
}

} else {
workingWithViews(1)

textSetter(finalText!![0], finalText[1], finalText[2])
next.isEnabled = false
Handler().postDelayed({
next.isEnabled = true
}, 1000)
}

}

if (lastAnswersArray.isNotEmpty()) {
prev_question.setOnClickListener {
updateAdapter(1, answerIndex, answersOptions, 2, userAnswers[answerIndex])

if (answerIndex != lastAnswersArray.lastIndex) {
answerIndex += 1
} else {
prev_question.isEnabled = false
}
}
} else {
answerIndex -= 1
prev_question.isEnabled = false

 }

вероятнее всего где-то мой алгоритм дает сбой но не могу понять где именно и как починить. Вроде все учел но работает не так как нужно. Возможно объяснил не очень понятно, поэтому если что-то кто-то не поймет спрашивайте.
UPD
проблему алгоритма кажется смог локализовать. При нажатии на кнопку "назад" я увеличиваю индекс ответа на 1:
if (answerIndex != lastAnswersArray.lastIndex) {
answerIndex += 1 // тут
} else {
prev_question.isEnabled = false
}

дальше я нажимаю кнопку "вперед" и уменьшаю индекс на 1:
else if (answerIndex in -1..4) {
answerIndex -= 1 // тут
when {
answerIndex >= 0 -> {
updateAdapter(1, answerIndex, answersOptions, 2, userAnswers[answerIndex])
}
answerIndex < 0 -> {
answerIndex = 0
updateAdapter(0, questionsIndex - 1, answersOptions, 1, ArrayList<Int>())
}}
prev_question.isEnabled = true
}

и получается что при нажатии "назад" мы индекс увеличили, а при нажатии "вперед" уменьшили в итоге нужно нажимать два раза чтобы индекс уменьшился достаточно для срабатывания условия. Как починить пока не придумал :(

A: Все довольно просто оказалось на самом деле. Я нагородил кучу массивов и кучу индексов которые в итоге меня запутали. Что я сделал в итоге: один массив и один индекс. Вначале массива будет 5 отвеченных вопросов, дальше не отвеченные. Навигация тоже ультра-простая, кнопка "назад":
  prev_question.setOnClickListener {
     questionsIndex -= 1

     if (questionsIndex >= 0) {
       if (questionsIndex == 0) {
          prev_question.isEnabled = false
       }
       updateAdapter(questionsIndex, answersOptions, 2, userAnswers[questionsIndex])
      }
    }

кнопка "вперед", фрагмент где была ошибка:
else if (questionsIndex in -1..4) {
     questionsIndex += 1

     if (questionsIndex <= 4) {
        updateAdapter(questionsIndex, answersOptions, 2, userAnswers[questionsIndex])
     } else {
       updateAdapter(questionsIndex, answersOptions, 1, ArrayList<Int>())
     }
    prev_question.isEnabled = true
}

теперь index начинается не с 0 а с 5, то есть будет показываться первый не отвеченный вопрос. Дальше все по коду понятно надеюсь. Не нужно было ничего городить и строить, все оказалось проще и понятнее чем вначале. Если у кого-то будут вопросы, или пожелания - задавайте/предлагайте :)


The impact of today's global economic crisis has wrenched companies into shaping new business models merely to survive, much less thrive. But top-tier UC vendors at the recent spring VoiceCon 2009 show in Orlando are interpreting the recession (or depression) as a unique opportunity to change the old ways of doing things. The dawn of a new day. A time to rely on and trust in innovation to carry us through these dark days.
Tough times coupled with perpetual, driving need is the catalyst that has historically sparked prodigious ideas. And, as in the past, the tumultuous times we're now experiencing paired with our insatiable thirst for new technology will be the impetus to finding more efficient ways to do what, in otherwise good times, would keep us trekking down the same path, doing things the same way. The way to survive, more over, come out ahead of the competition, is to innovate now.
In every VoiceCon keynote presentation, a single theme threaded its way through — innovation. Kevin Kennedy, president and CEO of Avaya, kicked off the keynote sessions stressing the critical importance of innovation. According to Kennedy, innovation will help us navigate these uncertain times and emerge from these times of turmoil.
Gurdeep Singh Pall, corporate VP of unified communications with Microsoft, said in his keynote address that it's the choices companies make now that will determine their viability when we've moved beyond the current recession.
Cisco's CTO, Padmasree Warrior, went further to say that ideas get stronger when we share them with others and social networks and collaboration are powerful in making connections stronger.
All of the keynote speakers offered sensible, reasonable reasons why companies should invest now in collaborative innovation in some capacity (irrespective of their financial status). Each presented their thoughts on the best ways in which to do so – respective to their agendas, of course.

Cholecystitis is a term that refers to inflammation of the gallbladder, a condition that can be aggravated by certain foods. These include refined carbohydrates, alcohol, high-fat dairy products, fatty meats and foods that are fried or packed in oil.
Your gallbladder stores and concentrates bile, which is produced by your liver. When you eat a fatty meal, your gallbladder contracts and releases stored bile into the small intestine to digest the fat. Sometimes gallstones can get stuck and block a bile duct in the gallbladder, resulting in symptoms of cholecystitis. Unless gallstones block a bile duct, they may not cause any symptoms, according to the National Institutes of Health.
Cholecystitis can cause symptoms such as pain and discomfort after meals, especially if you've eaten fatty foods. The pain is typically located in your upper right abdomen and may be accompanied by nausea and vomiting. Gallstones usually consist of cholesterol deposits and can vary widely in size. Blockages are typically caused by larger stones. If a stone remains stuck, it can cause a medical emergency that requires the removal of your gallbladder.
You should avoid excessive consumption of white flour, sugar and highly processed foods. You may also be intolerant of spicy foods. While you need some fiber in your diet, too much of it may actually exacerbate symptoms of cholecystitis if they cause you to have gas. You may be able to tolerate only small amounts of foods such as beans, cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli and whole grain products, all of which are high in fiber, according to registered dietitian Joanne Larsen.
Being overweight or gaining weight after losing it rapidly are among the risk factors for gallstone formation. While you should avoid eating excessive calories and fats, you should include 2 to 3 tbsp. of healthy fats like olive oil to keep the bile in your gallbladder flowing. If the gallbladder does not contract often enough to empty out the bile, gallstones may form, according to NetWellness.org.

"Mendini > Depero" presents a series of items of furniture and tapestries inspired by the creativity of the Rovereto-born Depero,, designed and created by Mendini specially for this occasion. At the Casa d'Arte Futurista Depero two exponents of Italian culture of the 20th century meet in an encounter that ranges from art and design to architecture.
s though it were a theatre stage, the public will witness a continuous, close dialogue between the works of Depero and the new creations, as in the case of four large tapestries designed by the master and made by Katia Brida, which may be compared with the cloth tarsias by Fortunato Depero or the Alpine-style furniture made by local craftsmen. The idea by the Milanese architect and designer is a fascinating and appealing one, and leads to the emergence of stimulating links, and infinite combinations between the works, giving each the possibility of being seen in a new light.
In the exhibition, it will be possible to admire both his historic creations – including the poltrona di Proust ('Proust's armchair') of 1978, the Kandissi sofa, also of 1978, the Zabro table of 1984, and his more recent sculptural items of furniture for men: Giacca e scarpa ('Jacket and shoe') of 1996.
