Compiled by Ellen C. Hickman
This annual bibliography of documentary editions recently published in the fields of American and British history, literature, and culture is generally restricted to scholarly first editions of English-language works.
ADAMS, JOHN. Papers of John Adams, Volume 18: December 1785–January 1787. Edited by Gregg L. Lint, Sara Martin, C. James Taylor, Sara Georgini, Hobson Woodward, Sara B. Sikes, and Amanda M. Norton. Belknap Press of Harvard University Press. 2016. 720 pp. $95. ISBN: 9780674545076. Volume 18 is the final volume of Papers of John Adams wholly devoted to Adams's diplomatic career. It chronicles his work as minister to Great Britain and the Netherlands. With Thomas Jefferson, he sought to negotiate treaties with the nations of Europe and North Africa. In Britain, Adams found it impossible to do "any Thing Satisfactory" and the volume ends with his decision to resign. He and Jefferson were unable to finalize treaties with Portugal and Great Britain, but did, through their agent Thomas Barclay, conclude a treaty with Morocco. In this period Adams toured the English countryside, first with Jefferson and then with his family. Adams also composed and published the first volume of his Defence of the Constitutions of Government of the United States of America.
AUDUBON, JOHN JAMES. The Missouri River Journals of John James Audubon. Edited by Daniel Patterson. University of Nebraska Press. 2016. 512 pp. $75. ISBN: 9780803244986. Scholars of Audubon and natural history have long been mystified by Audubon's 1843 Missouri River expedition, for his journals of the trip were thought to have been destroyed by his granddaughter Maria Rebecca Audubon. Patterson located three important fragments of the 1843 Missouri River journals, which he assembles here with a transcription and critical edition of Audubon's last journey through the American West. This volume introduces a more authentic Audubon, one who was concerned about the disappearance of America's wild animal species and yet also loved to hunt and display his prowess in the wilderness. This edition reveals that Audubon's famous late conversion to conservationism on this expedition was, in fact, a literary fiction created when Maria Rebecca Audubon rewrote her grandfather's journals for publication to make him into a visionary conservationist.
BECKETT, SAMUEL. The Letters of Samuel Beckett, Volume 4: 1966–1989. Edited by George Craig, Martha Dow Fehsenfeld, Dan Gunn, and Lois More Overbeck. Cambridge University Press. 2016. 942 pp. $49.99. ISBN: 9780521867962. The fourth and final volume of this edition covers the last twenty-four years of Beckett's life. During these years he produced many of his finest works for theater. In 1969, Beckett was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature, and the letters from this period show him struggling to cope with the pressures created by his ever-growing international fame. The letters reveal how he turned his mind to his legacy, as seen through his interactions with biographers and archivists.

In the mid-1780s Bentham drafted his first sustained discussions of political economy and public finance for Projet Matiere. Those discussions are now lost, but the corresponding marginal contents open this volume, followed by three closely related appendices. The volume continues with Defence of Usury, first published 1787, and also includes additional materials Bentham drafted for a second edition of the work in 1790. Also included is the surviving text of his unpublished Manual of Political Economy and his work A Protest against Law Taxes.

Cecil Bisshop Harmsworth, 1st Baron Harmsworth (1869–1948), was the younger brother of the press proprietors Lord Northcliffe and Lord Rothermere. He served as Liberal MP for Droitwich from 1906 to 1910, and for Luton from 1911 to 1922. After holding a number of minor government positions under Asquith, Harmsworth became a member of Lloyd George's War Cabinet Secretariat in 1917, and from 1919 to 1922 served as Under-Secretary of State at the Foreign Office. His diary forms a highly readable record of the politics of the period, detailing late-night Commons sittings and the rough and tumble of the campaign trail, as well as giving skillful pen-portraits of the major figures of the day.
CAGE, JOHN. The Selected Letters of John Cage. Edited by Laura Kuhn. Wesleyan University Press. 2016. 674 pp. $40.00. ISBN: 9780819575913.

This series uses original diaries, minutes, reports, and correspondence in the Moravian Archives in North Carolina to provide a firsthand account of daily life among the Cherokee throughout the nineteenth century. Though written by missionaries from their perspective, these records provide much insight into Cherokee culture, society, customs, and personalities.

The register begins with Story's primary visitation of his diocese. Besides purely diocesan matters such as ordinations, collations and institutions, clerical indiscipline, and the exercise of his judicial authority, the extraordinary actions required of the bishop are reflected not only in reports of local suspicions of heresy, but also in matters of national importance such as summonses to convocation, clerical taxation, natural disasters such as plague, and external threats to the kingdom.
ENGLISH HISTORY. Rookwood Family Papers, 1606–1761. Edited by Francis Young. Boydell & Brewer. 2016. 184 pp. $45. ISBN: 9781783270804. The Rookwoods of Coldham Hall in Suffolk were Roman Catholic recusants whose notoriety rests on Ambrose Rookwood's involvement in the Gunpowder Plot. A century later another Ambrose Rookwood was executed for conspiring to assassinate William III. Tainted by treason, the Rookwood family nevertheless managed to hold on to their estates and even to thrive. As a result, the family left behind a legacy in the form of the Catholic mission founded by Elizabeth Rookwood and her son in Bury St Edmunds. The documents in this volume tell a remarkable story of resilience, survival, and reinvention.

A good portion of the correspondence is devoted to Frost's appointments at the University of Michigan and Amherst College.
GARVEY, AMY JACQUES. Amy Jacques Garvey: Selected Writings from the Negro World, 1923–1928. Edited by Louis J. Parascandola. University of Tennessee Press. 2016. 251 pp. $50. ISBN: 9781621902065.

The volume's highlight covers the US military's crackdown on the UNIA in the Dominican Republic, as documented in the correspondence between John Sydney de Bourg and US and British government officials.

Brothers Ethan and Hosea Grosh left Pennsylvania in 1849, intent on finding a fortune in the California Gold Rush. Their search took them from San Francisco into the gold country and then over the Sierra into Nevada's Gold Canyon, where they placer-mined for gold and discovered a deposit of silver. The letters they sent back to their family offer commentaries on the western frontier, the diverse society of the Gold Rush camps, and the heartbreaking labor and frustration of mining. Their descriptions of Gold Canyon provide one of the earliest accounts of life in what would soon become the fabulously wealthy Comstock Mining District.

The original publication of Montgomery's journals in 1987 contained only a selection of her entries. Published now for the first time is the full record from 1911 to 1917.

In 1968 Egyptian novelist and political exile Waguih Ghali committed suicide in the London flat of his editor, friend, and sometime lover, Diana Athill.

This is the first publication of its kind of the journals, casting light on a likeable and enigmatic literary personality. He was a libertine, sponger, and manic depressive, but also an extraordinary writer, a pacifist, and a savvy political commentator. Covering the last four years of his life, Ghali's diaries offer an exciting glimpse into London's swinging sixties.
NORTH CAROLINA. Flat Rock of the Old Time: Letters from the Mountains to the Lowcountry, 1837–1939. Edited by Robert B. Cuthbert. University of South Carolina Press. 2016. 320 pp. $44.99. ISBN: 9781611176469. The intoxicating "champagne air" of Flat Rock, North Carolina, captivated residents of lowcountry South Carolina in the nineteenth century because it offered them respite from the sickly, semitropical coastal climate. Lowcountry families also sought refuge at Flat Rock during the Civil War, thereby escaping the devastation of the coast but not the revolutionary consequences of the war, such as emancipation, occupation, and economic collapse. This volume draws on the collections of the South Carolina Historical Society to publish a documentary history of the place and its people.

SCOTLAND. The Minutes of the Synod of Lothian and Tweeddale, 1648–1659. Edited by Christopher R. Langley. Boydell & Brewer. 2016. 256 pp. $70. ISBN: In the summer of 1650, an English army led by Oliver Cromwell invaded Scotland. Within less than a year, Edinburgh had fallen to the invading force and Presbyterian ministers across the Central Belt either fled to safer ground or remained to preach against Cromwell's agenda. The invasion brought with it ideas of a new religious settlement, a reorganization of the civil administration of Scotland and a large body of men that needed housing, food and discipline. The Synod of Lothian and Tweeddale was one of the most senior ecclesiastical meetings in Scotland to face the English invasion. The meticulous recordkeeping of its scribes allows an insight into the local response.

Smith formed the council in part to explore possible Mormon settlement sites west of the boundaries of the United States. Members of the council saw its formation as the beginning of the literal kingdom of God on earth and anticipated that the council would "govern men in civil matters." After Smith was murdered in June 1844, council meetings resumed under Brigham Young and continued until just before the Mormon exodus from western Illinois in early 1846. The minutes have never previously been available for research.

ISBN: 9780813938813. This volume features the final stages of the controversy about the 1794 Treaty of Amity, Commerce, and Navigation with Great Britain (the Jay Treaty). Washington also received news that treaties had been reached with Algiers and Spain and that the existing treaty with Morocco had been reaffirmed. Tensions grew between France and the United States; in these circumstances, the Marquis de Lafayette's continued imprisonment in Austria and the arrival of his son in America forced the president to weigh his personal feelings against his responsibility as head of state. Highlighted domestic issues include Indian relations and the construction of the Federal City.

Administration of the army consumed much of Washington's time.

This volume contains the newly transcribed and annotated text of one of Wilde's unpublished notebooks that functioned as a major ante-text for the composition of his first post-graduate essay, "Historical Criticism," written in 1879 as an entry for the Chancellor's English Essay Prize at Oxford.

WWI. 1915 Diary of S. An-sky: A Russian Jewish Writer at the Eastern Front. Translated and edited by Polly Zavakivker. Indiana University Press. 2016. 200 pp. $28. ISBN: 9780253020451. Shloyme-Zanvl Rapoport (pseudonym S. An-sky) was, by the time of the First World War, a well-known writer, a longtime revolutionary, and an ethnographer who pioneered the collection of Jewish folklore in Russia's Pale of Settlement. In 1915, An-sky took on the assignment of providing aid and relief to Jewish civilians trapped under Russian military occupation in Galicia. Rapoport drew on his diaries from this time to compose his memoirs. Although most of his diaries were lost, two fragments survived and are preserved in the Russian State Archive of Literature and Art. They are translated and published here, with notes.
WYATT, SIR THOMAS THE ELDER. The Complete Works of Sir Thomas Wyatt the Elder, Volume 1: Prose. Edited by Jason Powell. Oxford University Press. 2016. 480 pp. $210. ISBN: 9780199228607. Thomas Wyatt (1504?–1542) may have written the first sonnet in English. Yet while decades of criticism have centered on a handful of his best-known poems, many others are poorly understood, in part because of the lack of an authoritative edition. This volume—the first in a planned two-volume collection of Wyatt's complete works—comprises scholarly editions of 35 letters or memoranda, Wyatt's Declaration from the Tower, and his Defence speech against treason charges. It also includes the first scholarly edition of The Quyete of Mynde.

Royal Ascot is synonymous with style and elegance and is very much an occasion celebrated as a major fashion event in its own right.
If you are considering choosing a headpiece or hat for Ascot, you may want to take into consideration the guidelines for ladies headwear.
Hats should be worn: however a headpiece which has a base of 4 inches (10cm) or more in diameter is acceptable as an alternative to a hat.
Check that your headpiece is secure!. On a windy day at Ascot, you don't want to be holding on to your hat all day!!
Make sure that you are wearing your hat or headpiece correctly. Placement is everything!
Small headpieces such as perchers should be positioned just above the eyebrow. There is nothing worse than something that is perched on top of the head.
Large hats can be worn either straight or sweeping across the eye line at an angle.
The latter adds a sense of romance or drama.
Ensure you try your headpiece on with your hair styled as it will be on the day. The overall look will change with your hair worn up or down.
"HATS JUST DON'T SUIT ME"
A statement heard over and over again, which roughly translated means "I have no idea what suits me and I feel really uncomfortable"
The trick to wearing a headpiece or hat is that you should wear 'it', not let 'it' wear you.
To look good in a hat take into consideration your face shape, skin tone, height and body shape, and choice of outfit. If you get these simple rules right, you will be confident, comfortable and feel amazing.

Sony plans to focus on models like the Xperia XZs and XZ Premium, and mid-range Xperia A smartphones from now on.
Sony is reportedly discontinuing its Xperia X and Xperia X Compact smartphones, which is essentially the 'premium standard range', and will instead concentrate on its flagship range and mid-range models going forward. This was first reported by the Xperia blog, which is sourcing this from Sony's 2017 Investor Day.
A PDF presentation Sony's smartphone business and how it has fared in 2016 along with strategies for 2017 is also available online on Sony's official website as part of the Investor relations section. If you go through the PPT, it mentions that the 'Premium Standard' smartphones have not really been as successful as the flagship models like Xperia X Performance and Xperia XZ , which was launched in September last year.
In the presentation, it is mentioned that while the premium series like Xperia X Performance and Xperia XZ managed to achieve 88 per cent of their sales target with over 104% target achieved in Japan alone, in case of the Xperia Premium Standard Models, which includes Xperia X and Xperia X Compact, the company only managed to achieve 43 per cent of the sales target globally.
Out of this 43 per cent, nearly 85 per cent was in Japan, but globally it fell much lower to 31 percentage points.
For 2017, Sony will have a XA1 Ultra, XA1 and L1, along with new flagship versions of the Xperia XZ Premium and XZs. The presentation confirms there will be no Xperia X, Xperia X Compact models for 2017.
For its 2017 strategy, Sony says it will focus on launching products which offer unique technologies from the company, that other players can't offer. It will focus on introducing features like "World's first Memory Stacked CMOS image sensor and Motion Eye camera system, Super Slow motion recording capabilities in video at 960 frames per second, which is what we've seen in the latest Sony flagship smartphone.
It is also looking "predictive capture features", 4K HDR Display, ability to stream/download 4K HDR content from Amazon Prime Video, and new antenna and radio frequency technologies with download speeds up to 1Gbps being supported.

Michael has been running competitively since he was 12. He has taken on two London Marathons so far and is gearing up for his third this weekend. With a blistering personal best of 2:28:28, just 25 minutes off the world record, he's a firm favourite to defend his LandAid 10K title. Emily, on the other hand, is a running enthusiast with a Great North Run under her belt. She speaks to the runner in all of us when she says she loves it because it's a great (and free) way to stay active and de-stress.
You both clocked impressive times at last year's LandAid 10K. What training advice would you give for runners taking part this year?
Emily: Going for regular runs is important – aim for three, four, times a week in the next couple of months. Focus on gradually building up the distance so you don't exhaust yourself.
Michael: Training is a good chance to figure out your running pace so you don't set off too quickly on the day. Getting a GPS watch can help with this. Also, if you're thinking about getting a new pair of 'road racer' trainers, now's the time to do it – give yourself at least a month to make sure they're broken in.
With just under two months to go, how do you keep up your motivation when training?
Michael: Training with friends definitely makes running more enjoyable than going on your own – if you've signed up to the LandAid 10K with your colleagues, why not go training together? It's a great team bonding exercise.
Emily: Running home from work (if possible) is a good way to make running part of your regular routine. Listening to music also helps – a bit of Drum and Bass gets the adrenalin going!
Having taken home a trophy last year, what tips would give for the actual race itself?
Michael: If you find yourself in locked in competition with a rival, I'd recommend letting them set the pace. Let them do the work and run into the wind, and just stick close behind them. That way you can save up your energy for overtaking them in that final sprint finish!
Emily: It can take quite a bit of mental strength to keep up the pace once you reach the halfway point and prepare for lap two. But in the moment, you can get quite competitive. I prefer to focus on overtaking other runners rather than how far I have to go!
What food keeps you fuelled on the big day?
Emily: Embrace the carb! I'd go for porridge for breakfast and a sandwich or pasta for lunch. Make sure it's a couple of hours before running though to leave yourself with enough time to digest.
Michael: Don't change your eating habits too much or pile on the food beforehand. Simple carbohydrates are the best – something that burns off easily. Avoid anything too fatty or something that's going to sit in your stomach for too long – sometimes even bananas can do this. You might also want to bring a couple of energy gels with you on the run. For those coffee addicts in the office, you can pick up espresso flavour!
Finally, what are you most looking forward to about this year's LandAid 10K?
Michael: It has to be the opportunity to get the property industry together and raise money for an excellent cause. With house prices rocketing, it's more important than ever to give young people support with finding a place to call home.
Emily: Absolutely – I'm looking forward to spending time with colleagues and raising money for such a great charity tackling youth homelessness. Also, inevitably the drinks and party afterwards!
Places are still available for the LandAid 10K sponsored by Evans Randall Investors on 8 June at Clapham Common. Book your spot or sign up as a team today.

Q: .htaccess rule to catch http and https We recently changed domains and are using this in our .htaccess file to rewrite the urls:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} old.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://new.com/$1 [L,R=301]

I realized earlier that the old site was using https:// so, that's where all the old links go. How can I make this rule rewrite for https AND http?
I tried using OR with another line with ${HTTPS_HOST} but that didn't work.
-----EDIT-----
To clarify, here is the result I want
http://oldsite.com/* --> https://newsite.com/*
https://oldsite.com/* --> https://newsite.com/*
Right now, http://oldsite.com/* redirects to https://newsite.com/*, BUT
https://oldsite.com/* redirects to the main site on the server. Just hitting the same IP from 4403, and not redirecting to newsite.com

A: You can use:
RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} old\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS}s on(s)|
RewriteRule ^ http%1://new.com%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

Q: python regex for conditional (|) matching Looking for a python regex pattern.  Seems like it has to exist, but it has me stumped.
If I need to find an address, and the strings I am searching can be of the form
address_is_after_123
 - or -
123_address_is_before

Note, there could be more than two permutations, but I'm hoping a solution for two permutations could be extended to more.
I could simply create multiple regexes, but I'd ideally like a single regex.  The best I've got is:
m = re.match("(?:address_is_after_(\d+)|(\d+)_address_is_before)",text)

This works, but the I have to test whether m.group(1) or m.group(2) has the value.  Is there a way to write the regex so that if it matches I can grab the address without additional processing?

A: You could do it with lookarounds, provided that the length of the lookbehind ("address_is_after_") is constant:
>>> m = re.search(r"(?<=address_is_after_)\d+|\d+(?=_address_is_before)",text)
>>> m.group(0)
'123'

A: You don't need to test which group has the match. An unmatched group returns None, which is treated as false by or:
>>> for text in ["address_is_after_123", "123_address_is_before"]:
...             m = re.match("(?:address_is_after_(\d+)|(\d+)_address_is_before)",text)
...             print(m.group(1) or m.group(2))
...
123

Bing Comes To Hotmail
Microsoft has upgraded its Quick Add feature in Hotmail, first announced earlier this year, with a number of features from their new Bing search engine.
We're not talking about a small number of users who will be affected. Hotmail is still by far the largest web mail provider on the Internet, with 343 million monthly users according to Comscore. Second and third are Yahoo (285 million) and Gmail (146 million). A year ago Hotmail had just 273 million users, so it is still growing rapidly.
The new features let users search for and insert maps, movie listings and times, in addition to the restaurants, videos, images and business listings that were there before. And all of these have been upgraded with Bing functionality via the API.
Some of these quick adds are quite useful, particularly the maps and movie listings. For the masses that use Hotmail, it's also a great way to introduce them to Bing.

Have to say that I am very excited about the article PLAYING WITH FOOD and I am pleased to say that I think they have captured the elements of Sploshing we all love… the fun, the sensuality, the naughtiness and the playful nature of getting messy…. not to mention giving Sploshing Virgins a few tips along the way.
For those of you who cant get to the news stands to buy the latest edition of Forum here are some pics.
I know I have been a little quiet of late but there has been a reason, you see as well as having lots of messy sessions and producing WAM videos, I have been busy with the latest site update.
I am pleased to say it is now done so check out the following link to see what I have been up to.
For those of you who dont already know the site it features girls next door gunged, sploshed and slimed. Innocent beauties wammed down Trash Can Alley, bikini babes wrestling in goo amongst other things. It also has a healthy dose of girls bound (hence the name of the site) tormented and abused as you can see in the pic above.


Mirus IT is a leading UK MSP , but despite their success, Managing Director Paul Tomlinson recognized that the state of their documentation was in need of some improvement.
Mirus IT is a leading UK MSP , but despite their success, Managing Director Paul Tomlinson recognized that the state of their documentation was in need of some improvement. "We had limited structure and the documentation we had was only partially complete for some clients. But we didn't have the ability to view the gaps until we needed the data," he recalls.
Paul had considered different ways of addressing these issues. Enter IT Glue. "It was a new tool, but we're always receptive to new tools that can help our business." That IT Glue was integrated with Mirus' PSA made it an easy decision.
Now that IT Glue is a core operational tool at Mirus, Paul's managers are now able to track the state of documentation, using engagement statistics provided by the app. Nearly every user actively uses the system on a daily basis. Onboarding times have been reduced for both techs and clients.
Mirus uses IT Glue to lower the cost of service delivery.


The idea around simplicity and the sense of connectedness with the things we own is a huge part of Topo Designs. Being outdoors is a very spiritual thing, we really enjoy the quietness and calm that is ever present. We wanted to complement that idea by creating things that worked very well but weren't unnecessarily complicated or overshadowed by the latest technology so the outdoor experience was undisturbed and took center stage. We wanted to take off our bag or coat for a rest on the trail and feel like we were removing a little piece of who we were and not a piece of gadgetry that just didn't meld into that natural environment.
A big part of that inherent connectedness also relies on how and where we make our products, we really value the fact that we can work here in Colorado. We are lucky enough to work with our friends and neighbors to make our products and every time we use them we carry a little piece of that community around with us. We like to compare the idea with the amazing new world of food here in the US, we've seen such a rise of interest and engagement within the organic and local food movement lately it is incredible. We can now go to just about any grocery store and buy local, organic, high quality food, or run to any number of farmers markets on the weekend and meet the people who are producing it.
So why should what we wear and what we carry be any different? We love the idea of being able to translate that movement to the outdoor world with high quality gear and clothing that is produced locally by our neighbors. People can stop by our shop, meet us in person, and hopefully feel a little sense of a bigger community every time they use one of our products.

Ада́м Ада́мович Менела́с (, Э́дам Ме́нелос; 1753 — 31 августа 1831, Санкт-Петербург) — шотландский , работавший в России, мастер земляных работ и садово-паркового искусства. Представитель классицизма и романтической неоготики.

Биография
Родился в Шотландии, в Глазго (по иным сведениям в Эдинбурге), в семье строительного подрядчика. В конце 1786 года благодаря объявлению о поиске умелых мастеров, данному уже работавшим в России другим знаменитым шотландцем Чарлзом Камероном и опубликованном в эдинбургской вечерней газете от имени императрицы Екатерины II,  Менелас решился приехать в Россию. Вместе с ним прибыли еще семьдесят три мастера с семьями . В конце 1786 г. он работал в Боровичах на добыче каменного угля. С  середины 1785 г. — в Торжке на строительстве Борисоглебского собора помощником Н. А. Львова а также в Черенчицах и Митине (усадьбах семьи Львовых). В 1792 году Менелас женился на шотландке Элизабет Кейв. В 1794—1795 гг. Менелас трудился на возведении собора Св. Иосифа в Могилёве (символическая часть знаменитого Греческого проекта императрицы Екатерины; собор не сохранился), также по проекту Львова. Менелас был другом и членом кружка художников, музыкантов и литераторов Львова и поэта Державина. С 1797 года Менелас преподает сельскую механику и архитектуру в Школе софийского протоиерея Андрея Самборского в Павловске, в 1798 году служит в Школе практического земледелия в Черенчицах, в 1799 г. принят на службу в Училище земляного строения в Тюхилях под Москвой,  участвовал в опытах "глинобитного строения" архитектора Львова. В уездном городе Батурине Менелас строил резиденцию графа К. Г. Разумовского.

В 1800 г. Менелас был отправлен в Англию для приглашения новых мастеров и приобретения машин. После кончины Львова в 1803 г. Менелас остался без работы и в 1806 г. был уволен. В 1811—1812 гг. имя Менеласа упоминается в документах Царскосельского ведомства в качестве садового мастера. В 1813 г. граф Разумовский и  А. Н. Оленин (президент Императорской Академии Художеств в 1817-1843 гг.) дали Менеласу лестную характеристику, в результате чего он стал членом Строительного комитета Министерства внутренних дел, а также архитектором семьи Строгановых  . В 1800-х гг. С 1814 г. Менелас трудился в Царском Селе в качестве рисовальщика, помощника Ивана Алексеевича Иванова (1779—1848), смотрителя рисовальных классов петербургской Академии художеств, который также с 1798 г. был помощником Львова. Иванов и Менелас занимались обустройством «пейзажного» сада Царского Села и возведением парковых сооружений. В 1831 году архитектор Адам Менелас скончался во время эпидемии холеры и был похоронен в Царском селе.

Творчество
Менелас работал активно в качестве садового мастера и помощника других архитекторов в Санкт-Петербурге и Царском Селе, в частности помощником И. Буша, К. Росси, П. В. Неелова. Считается, что именно А. Менелас завершил преобразование Царскосельского парка из регулярного в пейзажный, или английский, согласно новой романтической моде. Менелас выстроил в новой, Александровской части Царского Села романтические павильоны: Арсенал(1819—1834),  башню Шапель (1825—1828) и Белую башню (1821—1827). Ранее эти памятники причисляли к так называемому псевдоготическому стилю, ныне их атрибутируют, как и другие схожие постройки этого времени, в качестве романтической архитектуры периода александровского классицизма. В них использованы не только неоготические, но и классицистические элементы. Кроме того, их иконографическая программа отражает главные идеи Священного союза России, Австрии и Пруссии, безусловным лидером которого был император Александр I.

Менелас также строил многие другие сооружения в Александровском парке Царского Села (они не сохранились): Ламский павильон, Слоновый павильон, Пенсионерские конюшни, Баболовские ворота. Частично сохранились Ферма и Оранжерея, Красносельские караулки. Все они связаны с романтическими течениями периода историзма. Наиболее интересны Египетские ворота (1827-1830) - необычное сооружение, программа которого была задана императором Николаем Павловичем как дань памяти старшему брату, императору Александру.

Все сооружения и планировка парка Александрия в Петергофе построены при участии Адама Менеласа: Капелла (по проекту К. Ф. Шинкеля), дворец Коттедж, Руинный мост, фермерский дворец (позднее перестроенный А. И. Штакеншнейдером).  Идея возведения Коттеджа в стиле "английской готики" была связана с проведением праздника «Волшебство Белой Розы» в Потсдаме . Рыцарский праздник  продолжился в готической атмосфере Коттеджа. Однако его облик и, в особенности, интерьеры отражают не только  готику, но и так называемый  староанглийский стиль викторианской эпохи в Англии, иначе называемый шотландским баронским стилем, или «стилем коттеджа». Этот эклектичный неостиль сложился в Англии в 1820-х гг. в связи с увлечениями национальной стариной, отчасти под влиянием романтических произведений Вальтера Скотта, и не без влияния буржуазных вкусов бидермайера. Считается также, что во многих проектах Менелас использовал мотивы архитектуры Тюдор-Ренессанса, но дополнял их новыми приемами свободной планировки зданий, садов и парков. В любом случае Адаму Менеласу принадлежит заслуга создания особенного романтического стиля садов и парковых павильонов первой трети XIX — времени В. А. Жуковского и А. С. Пушкина . .

Day 8: Tour of America's Dairyland p/b Kwik Trip: Shorewood Criterium Cycling Classic
By: Sylvi Teich (blog: VeloRambling) Published June 28, 2018
Women's Pro/1/2
The course on Thursday was long compared to some of the previous courses, measuring 1.2 miles (about 2 km). It was a classic Wisconsin summer afternoon. The temperature was in the high 70s to low 80s during the race. As the race went on, an appreciative crowd gathered all along the course at the boards to cheer the riders on.
For much of the hour-long race the field stayed together. A couple small groups (as always) tried to go off the front, but with no success. There were a few primes during the race, all of them won by different riders. Thursday marked the start of the Lowlands GranFinale Sprint Competition. About halfway through the race there was a prime lap – except the prime wasn't money, it was omnium sprint points. The points went five places deep. As the race got closer and closer to the finish, it became more of a standoff with no team really wanting to work. With five laps to go in the stage, Rebecca Wiasak, the Australian national crit (criterium) champion, went on the front of the main group.
It looked like something was going to happen, and something did. Wiasak's teammate and the eventual stage winner Ashlee Ankudinoff attacked off the front solo with four laps to go. With only a few more laps remaining, you would think the attack would cause some panic in the bunch. However, there was no big reaction to the attack by Ankudinoff. The main field underestimated the move and Ankudinoff got away, stayed away, and won the stage. The only noticeable reaction was when Katie Compton (ISCorp Pro Racing) tried to attack to bring the gap down with one lap to go. Sharlotte Lucas (Roxsolt Attaquer) took the omnium points leader's jersey, from Compton, who took it from Peta Mullens on Wednesday. Rachel Plessing (ALP Cycles Racing) stays in the category two leaders jersey even though she did not race today due to injury.
The riders head to Bay View on Friday to pick it up again at the Café Centraal Bay View Classic.
Men's Pro/1/2
With one lap to go there was a group of six riders off the front with two chasers ten seconds behind and the peloton chasing both groups like mad 28 second behind them. Then, the race stopped. Then, they raced three more laps. Confusing? The race was neutralized with one lap to go after a big crash in turn four. After getting everything sorted out, cleared, and re-staged, the riders raced three more laps. They were sent off in the same positions on the road they were in when the race originally hit one lap to go. It certainly made the finish more exciting and it made all of the racers just a bit more anxious. Michael Sheehan (Meteor X Giordana Racing) sprinted to the stage victory, taking his second stage win of the series.
It was a great evening for bike racing with temperatures in the low 70s. The course was another square measuring about 1.2 miles or approximately two kilometers. The race was not the same war of attrition it was on Wednesday. The great majority of the riders finished Thursday's stage.
The riders were back to playing games of 'cat and mouse'. The first attack came only five minutes into the race from Andrew Guelzo (Piedmont College). His attempt to go clear from the peloton was not successful. About halfway through the race, a group of five riders formed and it looked like a good group. This was a break that might stay away – but it was unsuccessful as well. Speaking of the halfway point, Thursday marked the first day of the Lowlands GranFinale Sprint Competition. At roughly the halfway point in the race each of the top five riders win points to add to the omnium total.
There were a few more attempts to form a breakaway, even one by the current race leader, Luke Mudgway (H&R Block Pro Racing). Late in the race, a group of six riders formed off the front and would stay away for the rest of the race. A few of the riders in the break were Joel Yates (Gateway Harley Davidson/Trek), Sean McElroy (Los Angeles Bicycle Club), and the race winner, Michael Sheehan (Meteor X Giordana Racing). John Borstelmann (Embrace the World Cycling) and Lachlan Holliday (Piedmont College) were chasing the group of six, ten seconds behind. The pace was winding up into high gear and then, the race stopped. There had been a big crash in turn four and the race was neutralized before they reset the lap counter at three laps to go. For the second time, the bell rang for the last lap and in the end, Michael Sheehan won in a sprint of the breakaway for his second stage win, in front of Sean McElroy and Phillip Short. Luke Mudgway keeps the leader's jersey and Alejandro Villada (INTENT) keeps the leader's jersey for category 2.
The racers pick it up again on Friday at the Café Centraal Bay View Classic.

Q: Trying to upload to Parse my votes for each individual image using swift I am making an app that has a tableview of images and can be upvoted or downvoted by swiping right or left. Im trying to have the votes be logged in to parse on the backend meanwhile i want the votes to appear in each cell. i have added a voteCounter to count the votes but instead of it being for the specific image it shows the same count on every image. How can i stop this and make it that each image has its own vote and how can i save it to the backend of parse?
heres my code so far:
class HomePage: UITableViewController {

var images = [UIImage]()
var titles = [String]()
var imageFile = [PFFile]()
var voteCounter = 0

   override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

    println(PFUser.currentUser())

    query.orderByDescending("createdAt")
    query.findObjectsInBackgroundWithBlock {(objects: [AnyObject]?, error: NSError?) -> Void in
        if error == nil {

            println("Successfully retrieved \(objects!.count) scores.")

            for object in objects! {

                self.titles.append(object["Title"] as! String)

                self.imageFile.append(object["imageFile"] as! PFFile)

                self.tableView.reloadData()

            }
        } else {
            // Log details of the failure
            println(error)
        }
    }

}

    super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
    // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}

    return 1
}

override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {

    return titles.count

}
override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, heightForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> CGFloat {
    return 500

}

override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {

    var myCell:cell = self.tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("myCell") as! cell

    myCell.rank.text = "21"
    myCell.votes.text = "\(voteCounter)"
    myCell.postDescription.text = titles[indexPath.row]

    imageFile[indexPath.row].getDataInBackgroundWithBlock { (data, error) -> Void in

        if let downloadedImage = UIImage(data: data!) {

            myCell.postedImage.image = downloadedImage

        }
    }

    var swipeRight = UISwipeGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: "respondToSwipeGesture:")

    return myCell

}

func respondToSwipeGesture(gesture: UIGestureRecognizer) {

        if let swipeGesture = gesture as? UISwipeGestureRecognizer {

            switch swipeGesture.direction {
            case UISwipeGestureRecognizerDirection.Right:
                voteCounter += 1
                println("Swiped right")
            case UISwipeGestureRecognizerDirection.Left:
                voteCounter -= 1
                println("Swiped Left")
            default:
                break
            }
        }
    }

}

A: Don't use all the different arrays, just keep the array of PFObjects and use them directly. This object should also have the vote count as one of its columns so that when you download you get the count. So you also don't need your vote counter.
You should also look at using PFImageView To display the image. Either that or actually cache the downloaded images yourself.
To update the vote count you should use the increment feature offered by PFObject.

A: First of all, you work with different pictures, for my part I prefer working with a single table for the tableView.
Every element of your table will correspond to a line of TableView like this :
NOTE : You will have to rearrange the code as you wish
class HomePage: UITableViewController {

    var dataTab : [FPObject] : []

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        //Init your data array for tableView
        println(PFUser.currentUser())
        var query = PFQuery(className:"Post")
        query.orderByDescending("createdAt")
        query.findObjectsInBackgroundWithBlock {(objects: [AnyObject]?, error: NSError?) -> Void in
            if error == nil {
                println("Successfully retrieved \(objects!.count) scores.")
                for object in objects! {
                    self.dataTab.append(object)
                    self.tableView.reloadData()
                }
            } else {
                // Log details of the failure
                println(error)
            }
        }

    }

    override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
        super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
        // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
    }
    override func numberOfSectionsInTableView(tableView: UITableView) -> Int {
        return 1
    }

    override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
        return self.dataTab.count
    }
    override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, heightForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> CGFloat {
        return 500
    }

    override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {

        //Get Object at IndexPath.row in  dataArray for tableView
        let rowObject = self.dataTab[indexPath.row]

        let rank = rowObject["rank"]
        let votes = rowObject["votes"]
        let description = rowObject["Title"]

        myCell.rank.text = rank
        myCell.votes.text = votes
        myCell.postDescription.text = description

        //Asynchrone task
        rowObject["imageFile"].getDataInBackgroundWithBlock { (data, error) -> Void in
            if let downloadedImage = UIImage(data: data!) {
                //When download success -- reload tableview to update cells
                myCell.postedImage.image = downloadedImage
                self.tableView.reloadData()
            }
        }

        return myCell
    }

    //ACTION WHEN EDIT CELL TABLEVIEW -- Look differents screens
    func tableView(tableView: UITableView, editActionsForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> [AnyObject]? {

        var upAction = UITableViewRowAction(style: .Default, title: "UP") { (action, indexPath) -> Void in
            //Get object at index
            let updateObject = self.dataTab[indexPath.row]

            //Update data tableview // Increment vote
            self.dataTab[indexPath.row]["vote"] = updateObject["vote"] + 1

            //UPDATE data in Parse.com
            let objectId = updateObject["objectId"]
            var query = PFQuery(className:"Post")
            query.getObjectInBackgroundWithId(objectId) {
                (postObject: PFObject?, error: NSError?) -> Void in
                if error != nil {
                    println(error)
                } else if let postObject = postObject {
                    postObject["vote"] = postObject["vote"] + 1
                    postObject.saveInBackground()
                }
            }

            //Reload tableview cells
            self.tableView.reloadData()
        }
        upAction.backgroundColor = UIColor.greenColor()

        var downAction = UITableViewRowAction(style: .Default, title: "DOWN") { (action, indexPath) -> Void in
            //Get object at index
            let updateObject = self.dataTab[indexPath.row]

            //Update data tableview // Increment vote

                (postObject: PFObject?, error: NSError?) -> Void in
                if error != nil {
                    println(error)
                } else if let postObject = postObject {
                    postObject["vote"] = postObject["vote"] - 1
                    postObject.saveInBackground()
                }
            }

            //Reload tableview cells
            self.tableView.reloadData()
        }

        return [upAction, downAction,]
    }
}
