Out of State: Visiting Detroit, Michigan
Out of State	3
by Chris Clemens
The majority of my exploration is in Upstate New York, and, of course, Exploring Upstate is intended to help you discover your next adventure here. But, occasionally I travel beyond the borders of the Empire State to see how the rest of the country lives. Most recently, I spent some time visiting Detroit, Michigan. When I've mentioned my trip, I've gotten responses in the realm of "Oohhh, God. Why?" or, "Yikes. Hope you didn't go out at night!"
The more I listened to it, the more it sounded familiar. It's the same exact response that many people have about going into even small cities here in New York.
How about the parking?
What if a homeless person approaches me?
This Isn't the 80's
Admittedly, the Motor City has experienced tough times. It would be hard to find someone who hasn't caught wind of a tumbled economy built on the backs of a downtrodden domestic auto industry. You might have heard of the "Devil's Night" back in the 80's when entire neighborhoods were lit on fire. Maybe you even saw a more recent article about Detroit's auto insurance being some of the highest in the nation, strictly because of crime rates.
If that was all you heard, maybe you'd wonder why Detroit is a city I've wanted to visit. Or, why I'd even tell you that it's a city you should visit. The reality is, after just a few days in Detroit, I've decided it's one of the coolest cities I've explored.
The more I thought about how much I enjoyed it compared to how much backlash I received about my going, the more I realized I needed to tell people. I needed to share how I learned the only thing to be afraid of was a narrow-minded account of how things used to be.
Maybe going to a city I'm told is dangerous is exactly the kind of push I need to grow as a person. Maybe you do, too. Because really, the greatest experiences I've had in life were the result of going beyond my comfort level.
Hitting Downtown
Within an hour of checking into my hotel, I was walking downtown. I typically research a place I'm visiting and lay out a loose itinerary. For Detroit, it was very loose. I had some ideas, but a only a few concrete must-do's. I also had very limited time.
You've heard of a Coney Island. The hot dogs were made famous by the Greeks serving them up on–you guess it, Coney Island. In Michigan, a "Coney" is actually a type of restaurant. It's a Greek-run eatery that serves Coney Islands (the hot dog). In 1915 a couple brothers opened a Coney-style eatery right on Michigan Ave. Within two years, a bitter dispute broke out and they closed.
But like a phoenix rising from the ashes of a blaze, the brothers opened competing Coneys side-by-side in 1917. Still today, Detroiters are forced to choose between American Coney Island and Lafayette Coney Island. Within hours of landing in Detroit, I was already finding my favorite.
I did choose a personal winner in the battle, but I realized later it didn't matter. This kind of culinary history is important not because it's high-brow fine-dining. There's no James Beard award for these guys. It's important because a Coney is the culture of the city.
Despite hardship and resentment, the Coney traditions have withstood the test of time. Buffalo has the chicken wing. Rochester has the Garbage Plate. Syracuse has salt potatoes. Binghamton has spiedies. A city needs a culinary icon that everyone can relate to. In Detroit, the Coney is precisely that icon.
Fast Friends
After my hot dog(s), I walked a couple blocks to La Casa, a local cigar club. Lounges like this are always interesting, because there's a regular group of guys that hang out. It's kind of like Cheers, but maybe not where everyone knows your name. I mention that there's always a regular group, because it's not always easy to walk in as a stranger and feel at home.
With a Coney-filled gut of courage, I walked into the club side of the shop and sat down next to a couple of guys.
I doubt they'll ever see this, but Eric and Reggie are owed credit for setting the tone for how awesome my trip was. As I tapped their knowledge about Ford, Faygo soda, and the slightly obscure Asian corned beef, others who had filled out the room began to sit closer and join in.
They told me how the city had changed, and how all anyone wanted was to just live happily and make a little money. It had been hard, but investors were turning things around.
Amidst a plume of blue smoke, Eric told me, "Two years ago, we left here at night and ran to our cars. Now? We're gonna send you out to walk four blocks to your hotel, and we won't be worried for you one bit. It's a totally different city, man."
Reggie pointed out the window and said, "Look around! Look all these people hanging out! You didn't have that before."
Local investors have changed the oil on the engines of metro Detroit and the pistons are firing. And, before you get pessimistic that investors are only doing it to reap financial rewards, consider some of their efforts.
Showroom Detail
For one, there are parks everywhere!
You want to eat your lunch downtown and sit somewhere? You can thank the private citizens who paid for the park. That was after they (literally) paid for the gas in the police cruisers because the city couldn't afford it. Maybe they're buying buildings and charging rent, but they're also putting the basic tenants of a successful city into place when tax revenue can't cut it.
Transportation, social programs, safety, public spaces–those investments mean a vibrant city with happy residents. Those happy residents improve the economy and in turn, sure, get those building owners higher rent checks.
From what I've learned, it's kind of like the curb appeal to your house. Imagine your house has high value, but the lots around you don't. That means your house doesn't actually have a high value at all. What if you could invest a little on those neighboring lots to improve them? It would ultimately mean you could fetch the high value for your great house because it's surrounded by a vibrant neighborhood.
Fill 'Er Up
Food is what fuels my trips. I had an outstanding cortado from Dessert Oasis, so I can assure you Detroit's coffee scene is doing alright.
I drove north a few miles and scored a bag of glazed donuts from Dutch Girl Donuts. My first experience ordering through bulletproof glass was unique, but it didn't take me long to realize the only danger I flirted with was eating an entire shelf of these things at only $1.00 a piece.
Detroit has its own style of pizza, too. The thicker, square crust will be familiar to anyone from Utica who loves a tomato pie. While they throw pepperoni on the bottom, the cheese piles up and is topped with a not-too-sweet sauce. Niki's in Greektown made me their version, which I'd describe as a perfect marriage of "Western New York style" pizza and tomato pie. That's probably why GQ Magazine rated it #24 of all pizzas in the country.
While donuts, pizza, and hot dogs is a menu I could live off forever, Detroit is attracting some seriously talented chefs, and I needed to try them, too. Dime Store is a small brunch spot, but the effort they put into every dish wasn't small in the least. The Apparatus Room fills out a former fire hall, so the interior is trendy, but still unique. The menu blindsided me with house made everything. After sampling about 10-12 menu items, I was knocked out by their pasta dish inspired by the local Coney Island. The spiral pasta tossed in a chili sauce made with beef heart made me love Detroit hot dogs all over again, but on a high-end level.
By the way, of course I had a Verners ginger ale!
I didn't have time for all the museums I wanted to visit. The Motown Museum and Detroit Institute of Art will hopefully welcome me next time I'm in town. The Henry Ford Museum was high on my list, though. I knew it was an important collection that I wanted to experience first hand. But, honestly, I wasn't prepared for truly how great it was.
Ford helped make steam engines. There was one in particular he made only eight of, just one of them about the size of a small building. When one of them went out of commission, he moved it back home near the Ford factory, then decided to build a museum around it. The rest of the gargantuan space features trains, cars, airplanes, engines, farm tractors, and just about everything you could possibly think of.
What I really loved though, is that it wasn't just an exhibit of cars. They used cars to tell the story of American history. As more families could afford cars, more families could go on vacation. That meant Howard Johnson hotels, and diners, and camping trailers. That affected how we were entertained on the road with games like License Plate Bingo. The museum covered it all.
They also have the bus that Rosa Parks was arrested on in Montgomery, Alabama. I couldn't bring myself to sit in the very seat Parks was in. It seemed like it belonged to her. I could never do justice to the amount of courage she had. But as I sat across the aisle from her seat, I wondered if she'd be pleased with where Detroit was in terms of social justice.
Maybe she'd be horrified by the some of the stuff in our national news. But, maybe it'd brighten her mood to know that our nation's first black President had visited her bus at the Henry Ford Museum. It might even be enough for her to know that it doesn't matter your background or race, you can walk into a cigar bar, sit anywhere you want, and make friends before you've even lit a match.
Artomobiles
Remember me mentioning how houses burned back in the 80's? I've been told a number of different stories about how the Devil's Night tradition came to be. The one consistent note in every account is: neighborhoods were left entirely decimated.
In the mid-80's, Tyree Guyton returned to his home in the McDougall-Hunt neighborhood after serving in the military. He was shocked to find his street looking like a "bomb went off". He began creating art projects on the empty lots. The effort was partly a political protest, but ultimately became an attraction. As the project grew, outsiders began to visit the outdoor gallery.
The project has brought people of all socioeconomic backgrounds from around the world to visit a poor, defeated section of the city they'd never have visited otherwise.
The City of Detroit has never really liked it, and they've made numerous attempts to take it down over the years. Today, it stands tall on an entire block at Heidelberg Street, and spills over to the surrounding blocks.
According to not-so-recent news, the Heidelberg Project is scheduled to slowly be demolished. If you intend to see this in person, you'd better make it quick.
The Heidelberg Project
I was told by one person the surrounding neighborhood isn't one I should go walking aimlessly, but I'd "probably" be fine walking the streets of the Heidelberg Project.
There was something unreasonably comforting about talking myself into believing crime didn't really happen on a Monday at 11:00am. Tens of thousands of people have visited the Heidelberg Project over three decades–I'm sure I'd be fine.
Admittedly, I did venture where locals told me not to go. I did get out of the car, and I did get approached, but no crime took place.
Also admittedly, a preset alarm went off in my mind that I should be skeptical of overt friendliness, but I silenced it in lieu of wanting to trust the Universe. Ultimately, I found people in a neighborhood I was told a white guy raised in a suburb of Upstate New York probably shouldn't go, and I found them to be super welcoming.
When I made it to the Heidelberg Project, I developed a new respect for Guyton's vision of wanting to bring outsiders to see the neighborhood should not be abandoned. The remaining homes were occupied by people wanting the same things for the neighborhood that everyone else wants. Safety, comfort, and a chance at living a life of happiness.
It's taken Guyton's art project to bring people from all over the world to his street, when history may have had plans to let it rot into obscurity.
Take-homes
Detroit may be a city you've heard is struggling, and after spending some time there, I can tell you it is.
It's struggling to overcome the notion that it's no place for tourists. It's fighting to ensure people that the days when you had to rush to your car are gone. Detroit is still battling finances and crime, but the bigger battle is convincing you that if you go to visit, you'll probably never encounter those struggles.
More likely, you'll see construction projects as the city rebuilds.
You will notice police at busy crosswalks because there are so many walking pedestrians, it's worth it to pay them to be there.
You'll eat food you can't find anywhere else.
You will find people excited to take their city back, and share it with the world–regardless of race or socioeconomic background.
You'll find a culture that's about as American as you can get.

How exciting, thanks for visiting our wonderful city! I live here in the suburbs and really enjoy downtown. In comparison to Chicago (where I find people to be rude!) Detroiters are some of the friendliest people! Not to put Chicago down it's a cool city and I travel there often.. I just love our people so much more. Detroit is definitely a comeback city!

THE SCORE: a few reflections ...
Researching - and writing - THE SCORE during 1997-1999, I had the great honor of interviewing and getting to know many of the most important, influential and inspirational film composers working today. I had selected 15 composers to include in the book and the publisher was, for the most part, agreeable at every turn. Three disappointments (due to publication deadlines): we weren't able to coordinate meetings with Jerry Goldsmith or Elliot Goldenthal, two of the most original voices in the business; and an extensive meeting / interview that had been scheduled with famed Japanese composer Toshiro Mayuzumi in NYC (we were both participating in a "Japan-America" international conference), never materialized - Mayuzumi passed away a few days before his departure for NYC.
Marc Shaiman, Bruce Broughton, Mark Isham, Thomas Newman, Howard Shore, James Newton Howard - these are eclectic, sophisticated composers who hold their own with the best of the great film composers of the past. John Corigliano and Paul Chihara, two composers more associated with concert music (but, like Wojciech Kilar, Aaron Copland and Philip Glass, have some significant film credits in their catalog), offered unique and fascinating insight(s) from their concert music world POVs. Jazz legend Terence Blanchard provided one of the biggest laughs when, during our interview in NYC, he noted that when Spike Lee asked him to score Jungle Fever, Clockers, etc., Terence said "but, Spike, I'm not a movie composer", and Spike said "oh, just listen to The Rite of Spring (Stravinsky) and La Mer (Debussy), that's all you need to know."
Sadly, four of the composers have passed away since the publication of The Score: John Barry, Elmer Bernstein, Shirley Walker and Daniel Licht. It was an honor to get to know these groundbreaking composers and I'm glad some of their final words and thoughts are in my book.
Although I felt a strong personal connection with many of the composers, one stood out as destiny for a lifelong close friendship - Christopher Young. Perhaps because our music is of a similar aesthetic, perhaps because of a similar zest for life and passion for experimental 20th Century music and working with young composers, perhaps discovering we grew up about fifteen minutes from each other in northern New Jersey. We have stayed in close touch these 20+ years since the publication of The Score, and I have brought him to my university 3X since 2002, to work with the composition students, give presentations, masterclasses, and concerts with the Butler University Symphony Orchestra (Species, Hellraiser, Hellbound: Hellraiser 2, Priest, Drag Me to Hell, Spiderman 3, Creation, etc.). He has also hired five of my former students as his assistants for his Santa Monica studio. One day, out of the blue, he called and said "I'm flying in for the premiere of your Al Capone opera next week!" (April 2015).

4. RAVE REVIEWS
"TO ESCAPE CRITICISM : DO NOTHING, SAY NOTHING, BE NOTHING"
- Elbert Hubbard (1856 - 1915)
On their website home pages, many composers immediately blast their unsuspecting web visitors with multiple ("selected") rave reviews and glowing press . . .
As Copland once told me: "Michael, throw out the bad reviews because they probably don't know what they're talking about, but throw out the good reviews because they probably don't know what they're talking about."
Over the years I have received many positive reviews in prestigious publications such as The New York Times, The Chicago Sun Times, The Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post, etc., but also some less flattering press, like "Composer Lapses into Disgrace" (The Indianapolis Star, 1988), but - in the spirit of THE LEXICON OF MUSICAL INVECTIVE - here is my personal favorite:
"Elgar would have Gagged in his Grave"
... coughs the DETROIT FREE PRESS headline after a Detroit Symphony Orchestra subscription series concert featuring Michael Schelle's 1986 Concerto for Two Pianos and Orchestra (and music by Edward Elgar and Sergei Prokofiev), noting that "the Elgar Symphony No. 2 is a terrible work, and the Prokofiev 2nd Symphony is just meaningless cacophony, but the Schelle is even worse; so bad, in fact, that even Elgar - who is a terrible composer - would have gagged in his grave".
Schelle's Concerto for Two Pianos and Orchestra went on to receive a Pulitzer Prize nomination.

If you would like to refresh your look, but you're not ready to undergo an extensive facelift, then you can ask your doctor about a mini-facelift. A mini-facelift reduces wrinkles in the mid to lower face, and restores youthful facial contours. But what is a mini-facelift, and how does it differ from a full facelift.
A mini-facelift is designed to correct moderate degrees of age-related concerns such as sagging jowls, drooping cheeks, and laxity around the jawline. The mini-facelift is less invasive and less costly than the full facelift. It also requires fewer incisions, and has a faster recovery time.
The mini-facelift targets the area above the jawline. It is therefore recommended for individuals who would like to eliminate early signs of aging in the mid-face, but don't have a lot of excess skin around the neck and jawline.
The mini-facelift is generally performed under local anesthesia with mild sedation. The incisions are made along the natural curves of the face around the hairline. During the procedure the surgeon will tighten the underlying muscle layer of the face, and also redrape the skin and remove any excess fat. Sutures are used to close the incisions.
There will be some bruising and swelling after the procedure, and this may last up to 14 days. Complications are infrequent but they can occur, so patients are advised to closely follow their surgeon's advice before and after surgery.
Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Nia Banks practices in Lanham, MD, and has extensive experience in performing the mini-facelift and other cosmetic procedures. Please call the Beaux Arts Institute of Plastic Surgery at 301-880-7022 to set up your consultation with Dr. Banks, and learn more about what is a mini-facelift.

Q: what are the advantages of using 2 MVC architectures(frontend and backend) in same project. AngularJS and Spring MVC what are the advantages of using 2 MVC architectures(frontend and backend) in same project. AngularJS and Spring MVC.
Without using AngularJs, can I update single div data without loading the entire page? Is AngularJS responsible for updating single <div> data out of multiple <div>s without loading entire page? If so, please explain in detail.

A: Once you have a single-page application you have to make sure all the different parts of that application are consistent, that's what the MVC/MV-Whatever in the front end is doing for you. That's not an issue in an old-school web application because the relevant state is regenerated with each request, but once the updates are coming in bits and pieces then different pieces of the front end need to be coming from the same model and that model needs to get updated consistently.
Obviously you can implement div updates with raw JavaScript, you don't need frameworks just to do AJAX. The JavaScript frameworks are written in JavaScript, after all. The frameworks and libraries do make things easier by doing things like papering over browser inconsistencies and providing convenient and useful features (like databinding in Angular).
The server-side MVC does become less complex and involved than it was in the old-school web application, you have less POST-Redirect-GET going on, the front end is more in control about what it is asking for. The front-end application is decoupled much more from the server-side because that whole server-side view layer of JSPs or Facelets or whatever is greatly reduced or just missing, instead you have services supplying JSON over HTTP and there is a much more limited, well-defined contract.

A: You can update a single element of your page without using AngularJS. As an alternative, for example, you can use JQuery.
You should wonder for the best approach for your project. This answer explains very well the differences between this two approaches.
As an aside note, AngularJS is not exactly a MVC architecture. Instead, the community has decided to call it MVW (Model View Whatever). Check this source for more details.

Ken Gill
This article is about the trade unionist. For the Anglican bishop, see Ken Gill (bishop). For the rugby league footballer, see Ken Gill (rugby league).
Ken Gill (30 August 1927 – 23 May 2009[1]) was a British trade union leader. He was the General Secretary of the Technical, Administrative and Supervisory Section (TASS), from 1974 to 1988, when it merged with ASTMS to form the Manufacturing, Science and Finance Union (MSF).[2] He was General Secretary of the MSF, 1988–1992, initially jointly with Clive Jenkins. A committed Communist, he was elected to the TUC General Council in 1974, and was a prominent figure in the militant industrial relations of the 1970s. From 1981 to 1987 he was a member of the Commission for Racial Equality.[3]
2 Trade union career
3 Retirement
5 The Ken Gill Memorial Fund
Ken Gill was born in Melksham, Wiltshire, in 1927.[4] Gill was politicised when young, having experienced poverty in his childhood during the Great Depression. He attended a grammar school and was offered officer training during the Second World War, but refused this owing to a political opposition to the officer class. In 1943, aged 15, he became an apprentice draughtsman. During the war his family took in a lodger, a cobbler and communist who convinced the young Gill of the cause of socialism. In 1945 he was a prominent campaigner for the local Labour candidate, who was elected as the first local Labour MP.[4]
In 1949, at the end of his apprenticeship, he moved to London. As a young communist at the height of the Cold War, he travelled to East Germany for the 1951 World Youth Festival, and was briefly arrested while journeying there by the US military police. By his early thirties Gill had become a director of a successful small engineering firm.[4]
Trade union career
Banner of AUEW-TASS
In 1962 Gill stood for office in the Draughtsmen's and Allied Technicians' Association (DATA), being elected a regional official. The militancy of his Merseyside and Northern Ireland region saw Gill leading workers in a series of industrial battles over pay and conditions. As a result of his success in this, he was elected as deputy general secretary of the union in 1968, bringing him back to London. "As former colleagues attest, Ken was widely respected as a leader, winning people by persuasion rather than using his authority."[4] DATA's successor, the Technical, Administrative and Supervisory Section (TASS), became part of the Amalgamated Union of Engineering Workers (AUEW) in 1971, although it remained quasi-autonomous.[2] During the merger talks MI5 broke into Gill's South London home to bug discussions going on there.[5]
Gill became the General Secretary of TASS in 1974, and that same year was the third communist to be elected on to the TUC General Council,[3] with over 7 million votes.[4] With the support of other left-wingers on the Council he helped lead a militant broad left grouping, which played a key role in the ideological and economic battles of the time. He was a leading member of the 'awkward squad' of trade union leaders which made the industrial relations of the nineteen seventies so difficult for successive governments, not least by consistently opposing an enforced incomes policy.[4] He was a leading figure in union opposition to Barbara Castle's contentious 1969 bill on industrial relations, In Place of Strife.[6]
From the mid-1970s Gill used his position on the TUC Council to push for more radical policies in support of equal opportunities. In 1976 he "famously told the TUC Woman's Conference ... that Britain was still a 'socially backward' country,"[7] since despite the 1975 Sex Discrimination Act women would still need a 50 per cent pay increase to achieve parity with men. In 1982 he warned against racial prejudice within trade unions, saying that black workers would form their own trade unions if prejudice prevented them from being elected to union posts.[7] Gill was also an internationalist, pushing within the TUC for more progressive positions internationally. Gill and his union were among the earliest active supporters of the fight against South Africa's apartheid. On Gill's initiative, the union guaranteed the deposit for the 1988 stadium concert that celebrated Nelson Mandela's 70th birthday. When Mandela later visited the UK after his release from Robben Island, he chose the union's conference hall to meet and thank African National Congress exiles and activists.[4]
In 1984 Gill became chairman of the People's Press Printing Society, the cooperative which publishes The Morning Star. Gill, along with a group of so-called "Tankie" members, was later expelled from the Communist Party of Great Britain when the paper's editor refused to follow the new Eurocommunist party line. In 1985/86 Gill became the only communist ever to become President of the Trades Union Congress, although by then, following the defeat of the 1984 miners' strike, militancy was in retreat.[4]
TASS demerged from the AUEW in 1985, and in 1988 merged with ASTMS to form the Manufacturing, Science and Finance Union (MSF),[2] then Britain's fifth-largest union, with 600,000 members.[3] Gill was General Secretary of the MSF, 1988–1992, initially jointly with Clive Jenkins. Gill retired as a full-time trade union official in 1992. "Despite being among the most prominent communists in the country, Gill always saw himself first of all as a trade unionist."[4] In 1993 he was voted the "Trade Unionists' Trade Unionist" in a survey carried out by The Observer newspaper. "Ken never fitted the cliché image of a communist. While he could be forceful and committed, he was never dogmatic or unnecessarily aggressive."[4] He believed that the Labour Party was central to radical social change.[4]
A lifetime supporter of the Soviet Union, he was expelled from the British Communist Party in 1985, when it broke with Moscow.[8]
After his retirement, Gill continued campaigning, including against the 2003 Iraq war. He also played a key role in the 1993 founding of the Cuba Solidarity Campaign in the UK, becoming its first chair, only stepping down in 2008.[7]
Gill was also known for his caricatures of fellow trade unionists, and often made on scraps of paper during meetings and conferences. An exhibition of his work was held at Congress House in 2007,[4] and a book of his caricatures was published in April 2009.[9]
Ken Gill (Author), John Green and Michal Boncza (Editors), 2009 – Hung, Drawn and Quartered, Artery Publications, ISBN 978-0-9558228-2-7. The book is a selection of Gill's caricatures.
The Ken Gill Memorial Fund
A non-charitable trust was established in 2010 by Ken's family and close friends to commemorate Ken's life and to continue his life's work. Among its objectives are supporting the Morning Star newspaper, supporting the trade union movement and workers' rights through co-operation with the Institute of Employment Rights and to support solidarity with Cuba, working alongside the Cuba Solidarity Campaign. Trustees included Rodney Bickerstaffe, former general secretary of Unison, the UK's largest public services union.

Blood & Honour Tackles the Problem of Meeting Space for Dissident Groups
For at least 30 years, populist dissidents, like Paul Fromm the late Ron Gostick, revisionists like David Irving and others have faced the problem of holding meetings. You think there's freedom of speech in Canada? Forget about it! Organized Jewish groups, when they get wind of a meeting, lean on the hotel or hall management. Sometimes the pressure is subtle: You wouldn't want to be seen to side with the "neo-Nazis" against the Jewish community. Sometimes it's more blatant, with threats of boycott or, worst of all, bad publicity from a lamestream media all too eager to smear perceived enemies of Jews. Sometimes the threat comes from organized "anti-racist" groups which threaten violent protests. Sometimes there actually are violent protests. While that meeting may go on, it's likely the last one the dissident group will ever hold in that venue. You think a contract means anything? Most hotel managers have the morality of a crack whore. Signed agreements mean nothing. And the police? Well, they can't be counted on. Sometimes they do, in fact. protect a threatened meeting in a professional manner. All too often, though, they counsel management to cancel the meeting "to avoid trouble" — trouble the donut munching cops are paid handsomely to prevent.
Thus, most populist or revisionist meetings are not widely advertized. This, of course, limits the effectiveness of public outreach, to say nothing of their trampled rights. Along comes Blood & Honour, a Calgary-based group of mostly young men and women. They have rented a large secure meeting space in an easily protected area. In a statement earlier this year, their leader Kyle McKee, an experienced young man with a decade of organizing and activism under his belt, made the following offer to CAFE and other populist and libertarian groups: "Blood and Honour Canada's Calgary chapter has been very active and growing and our efforts have been focused and professional. The benefits of dedicated people are now being passed forward to you by way of an offer to use our own private venue for your meetings when in Calgary so the money otherwise spent for the basic expenses of doing your work can be repurposed to even more activity on your part. Also this means no more hotel cancellations and scrambling to find new venues in Calgary." Thanks to Blood & Honour, we held a large, well-advertized meeting in early March for English song writer singer and holocaust skeptic Alison Chabloz.
Mr. McKee adds: "Blood and Honour Canada's Calgary chapter also keeps busy with regular weekly gatherings and regular events. If someone is interested in attending any of these they can contact us at our website 28canada.com and if anyone is interested in helping by way of donation this can be done by joining and subscribing to our web forum that is linked to on our main website 28canada.com or in person at any of our events. Blood and Honour Canada (Club 28) is a nationalist organization and European cultural group operating independently of any political party. It is our goal to raise awareness of issues concerning our nation and the people here, as well as to unite those people with a legitimate interest in securing the future of our European cultural identity under one common banner. Blood and Honour Canada is a secular organization promoting intelligence, common sense and self-preservation while encouraging a broader understanding of all the religions which have been crucial in the forming of our great European Identity." It runs an active education programme for its own members.

Senator Apologizes for Using "Nigger" to Make A Point
So crazy has political correctness become and the supremacy of minorities that a Canadian senator trying to score a point against free speech is forced to cringe and apologize for having used the word "nigger" as an example of language that hurts people and that must not be allowed.
The Toronto Star (May 18, 2017) reported: "Sen. André Pratte apologized Thursday for using a notorious racial slur during a Senate committee hearing, where he uttered the so-called "N-word" as an example of an epithet that should never be used. In an interview with the The Canadian Press, Pratte said he was trying to make the point during Wednesday's hearing that there are limits to free speech when speaking about people, especially those who are vulnerable and subject to discrimination. 'In making that point, I mentioned black people, for instance, and that's when I used the word,' Pratte said.
If he offended people by using the word in that context, he apologizes unreservedly, Pratte said.
'Obviously I didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings, he said. 'I accept it was an improper choice of example . . . and I apologize that for that.' Committee witnesses at the Senate legal affairs committee were making free-speech arguments while debating the Liberal government's legislation to bar discrimination on the basis of gender identity or gender expression.
If passed, the legislation would make it illegal to deny someone a job or to discriminate against them in the workplace on the basis of their gender identity or how they express it. It would also amend the Criminal Code to extend hate-speech laws."
The Committee was studying Bill C-16, a dangerous anti-free speech measure, which will add the transgendered and sexually confused to that list of privileges groups which you may not criticize, or criticize only with much difficulty, under Canada's notorious "hate law", Sec. 319 of the Criminal Code.

Scottish YouTuber Faces a Year in Prison For Teaching 'Nazi Trick' to Girlfriend's Dog
Throughout the Western World, the most lethal enemy of free speech is the Jewish pro-censorship lobby. Now, in Scotland firmly in the grip of dour, grim homorless political correctness, a You Tube comic could face a year in prison as an example for a comic You Tube he made a year ago.

A year ago, Scottish YouTube comedian Markus Meechan AKA Count Dankulauploaded a video to YouTube of himself teaching his girlfriend's dog to be a Nazi. The conceit of the video was to play a prank on his girlfriend by having her pug, Buddha, learn to do tricks to the sound of offensive Nazi slogans, like "gas the jews" and "seig heil."
The video went viral, receiving millions of views and landing on the front page of Reddit. Most people laughed at the joke and did not interpret it as supportive of Nazi values. But the Scottish police were not amused.
A month after Meechan posted the video, police arrived at his door and threw him in jail for the night. He will appear before a judge on Monday facing a hate crime charge with a maximum sentence of one year in prison. He has also lost multiple jobs as a result of the video. Meechan could become the first Scottish comedian to be jailed for a joke.
"I think everything can and should be joked about," Meechan told Heat Street over the phone. "I'm still trying to find the humor in it, laughter just makes it easier to deal with."
Marcus Meechan and his girlfriend's Nazi pug
Meechan said he fears the judge will try to make an example of him because of the amount of attention the case drew from the British press. His trial will have no jury and his sentencing is entirely up to the judge's discretion.
"I've seen this happen before when people get dragged through the media." he said. "The judge says 'let's completely fuck up this one person's life so no one does it again.'"
Meechan's situation closely mirrors the recent "anti-semitism" controversy with the YouTuber Pewdiepie. Pewdiepie made a similar style joke, using an anti-semitic phrase as shock humor to make a different comedic point.
Interesting enough, Pewdiepie was based in London when he made the joke, but was not charged with a crime despite living under similar United Kingdom hate crime laws.
Buddha the pug has found new inspiration.
Scotland's history of sectarian violence between Protestants and Catholics made the police hyper responsive to verbal attacks on religion, more so than in England and Wales.
Scotland is so horrifically PC," Meechan said. "If you have a hate crime charge most companies won't hire you."
Despite Scotland's absurdly strict hate crime laws, major Scottish comedians are not given the same treatment as small time YouTubers.
In 2010 comedian Frankie Boyle had to apologize after describing the Palestine situation as a "a cake being punched to pieces by a very angry Jew." Boyle was not arrested for the joke.
"If Frankie Boyle got arrested people would be fucking furious and the police would not have any public support," Meechan said.
He added that he believes the fact he is a YouTuber makes him an easier target for both the police and the media.
Ritualist @Ritualist_dA
This the crime they want to send a man to jail for.
Hold strong, @CountDankulaTV
The group leading the charge against Meechan is the Scottish Council of Jewish Communities. At the time of his arrest in 2016 the group called the video "outrageous" and dismissed the idea it could possibly be taken as a joke.
Heat Street reached out to the council and asked if they believe Meechan deserved jail time for the video, but they declined to comment.
In a recent video, Meechan explained that many Jewish fans from outside Scotland had reached out to him and asked to write letters vouching for that Meechan is not an anti-semite. But unfortunately only the opinion of Scottish Jews could be submitted used in court.
Both Scottish comedians and the YouTube community are supporting Meechan through this situation.

SkepTorr is a Jewish Israeli YouTuber and friend of Meechan and found the police response to the Nazi pug video ridiculous.
"No one in his sane mind would watch his material on Youtube and come to the conclusion that he committed a hate crime." SkepTorr said. "[Many Israelis and Jews] do not like false flagging. It makes us look really bad and just creates resentment towards us."
In general Meechan has received support online and in public. People have even approached him to take selfies.
However, one time he said his alcoholic neighbor called him a "Nazi bastard" and threw a bin of dog shit at his door. In an ironic twist and further proof of the Orwellian nightmare that is Scotland, when police arrived they arrest his neighbor, not for throwing dog shit at his door (a crime she admitted to) but for a hate crime because she called him a Nazi bastard.
If the trial goes badly, Meechan has considered applying for asylum in the U.S. In March, the United States granted asylum to a Singaporean YouTuber who was thrown in jail for a video where he humped the Quran. Meechan figures he may have a shot at a similar deal.
"I don't want to live in a dystopia with gulags full of people arrested for wrongthink," Meechan said. "I know that sounds extreme but we're on that path. No opinion should be banned or illegal."
Meechan is still together with his girlfriend Sou, through the controversy and media attention, and their pug Buddha is still a raging anti-semite.

Kevin Pillar — Latest Victim Punished by Privileged Minority
For years CAFE has warned that the most mortal enemy of freedom of speech, after the organized Jewish lobby, is the homosexual lobby. The LGBTQ crowd are the newest privileged minority whom one dares not criticize without the roof falling in on you, all of this aided by Establishment collaborators.
The latest victim is Toronto Blue Jays centre fielder Kevin Pillar. In Wednesday's night's losing game against the Atlanta Braves,having struck out, he yelled "faggot" at the Braves' pitcher. Actually, in its report, THE NATIONAL POST (May 18, 2017) coyly wouldn't even say the offensive word which earned Pillar a two day suspension and a denunciation by his team's own management:
"It took the better part of a day, but Kevin Pillar eventually figured out what he needed to say.
The use of a homophobic slur, as the Toronto centrefielder has now acknowledged he used on Wednesday night, is an absolute liability offence. Anger, embarrassment, the frustration of losing three in a row to the freaking Braves, none of it excuses using that epithet in that space: the middle of a baseball diamond in a game watched by hundreds of thousands of fans.
Language matters, and whatever the fallout of the Pillar incident, it's these kind of things that slowly make change happen.
Pillar did his learning on the fly. In the immediate aftermath of Wednesday night's incident in Atlanta, when he shouted the homophobic f-word at Braves pitcher Jason Motte, Pillar apologized for being immature and stupid and said he was 'a competitive guy and (it was) the heat of the moment.'"
However, according to reporter Scott Stinson, his apology wasn't nearly enough. He hadn't grovelled for having made a nasty comment about a privileged minority. A day later, he'd been given the word about the choking ideology of political correctness and whom you may and may not insult. Preachy reporter Scott Stinson explains: "It was an unacceptable response to the use of a homophobic slur on the playing field, while representing his team and his sport. Pillar's statements on Wednesday night, while contrite and sincere, never addressed what he actually said, making it appear as though he was primarily apologetic for losing his temper. By Thursday afternoon, he had at least identified the missing part of that apology. He said on his Twitter account that he had 'helped extend the use of a word that has no place in baseball, in sports, or anywhere in society today.' Pillar said he was 'completely and utterly embarrassed' and apologized to everyone involved, including 'the LBGTQ community for the lack of respect I displayed.'"
Not long after that, the Blue Jays released a statement that said the organization was "extremely disappointed" by the comments Pillar made on Wednesday night, and it also apologized to everyone, including the gay community. About three hours before Thursday's game, the Blue Jays suspended Pillar for two games after discussions with Major League Baseball and the players' association."
Now, a frustrated player shouting an insult at the pitcher might not be very sportsmanlike, but does it really merit this selective punishment? What if he had shouted "asshole", "mother fucker", "goof" or some other insult. Likely nothing! It wasn't losing his temper that was the sin but saying something derogatory about a privileged minority.
Freedom spontaneity and sports are being choked by political correctness

Judge Dismisses $104-million Class Action Suit to Silence Christian Preacher Bill Whatcott but Then Orders He Reveal Names of Supporters
After Canada's Jewish lobby, the most mortal enemies of free speech in Canada are the activists the the LGBTQ homosexual/lesbian/transgendered and sexually disfunctional crowd. Irrepressible evangelist Bill Whatcott keeps finding ways to bring his hard Gospel admonitions to the LGBTQ crowd. Last summer, he and some supporters infiltrated Toronto's Gay Pride Parade as Gay Zombies. He handed out tracts and condoms. The hideous revenge planned for him was a $104-million class action suit launched by homosexual activists and lawyers. The idea was to saddle Mr. Whatcott and those who joined or financially supported him with a horrific judgement (and costs). The clear point of this intimidation was to warn potential supporters: "You could be on the hook for huge costs. Nightmares of losing one's home or bank account were the clear threat. Some of Mr. Whatcott's more timid supporters have already backed off.
From the start, the claim was preposterous, but with Canada's courts deeply infiltrated by homo-friendly elements and the Cultural Marxist creed of victimology, one never knows. As the LifeSiteNews report below explains, the judge threw out the class action suit BUT preached that the plaintiffs might pursue other civil actions against Bill and his band. To that end, he ordered Bill to reveal the names of his supporters. Bill announced he'd rather go to prison. His lawyers are appealing the judge's extraordinary order.
In the never ending battle to secure our ancient liberties of free speech from the demonic clutches of the thought control freaks, this is definiItely a case to watch.
ONTARIO, April 19, 2017 (LifeSiteNews) – An Ontario judge has ordered a Christian who evangelizes homosexuals to identify his financial backers and anonymous friends who helped him hand out info packets about the physical and spiritual dangers of anal sex at Toronto's [Gay] Pride Parade last year. "There could be serious repercussions for me, including prolonged jail time if I don't comply with the order to disclose the names of my supporters," said Christian activist Bill Whatcott. "Generally, Christians should comply with secular courts, but not when complying harms the innocent or when the order is unjust in the eyes of God," he added. Homosexual activists last year launched a $104 million class-action lawsuit against Whatcott for defamation after he and a handful of friends infiltrated the [Toronto Gay] Pride Parade dressed as green "gay zombies." They handed out what looked to be free condoms in packets that said "Zombie Safe Sex" but which contained messages about the physical and spiritual dangers of homosexual practices. The messages encouraged active homosexuals to change their lifestyle and accept the Christian faith.
Last month, Justice Paul Perell dismissed the lawsuit on a technicality, ruling in Hudspeth v. Whatcott that the homosexual activists George Smitherman and Christopher Hudspeth could not claim defamation of an entire group, such as the Pride Parade participants or the "LGTBTQ2SI Community," but only of individuals. [You need a politically correct guidebook to keep track of the growing number of sexually weird privileged groups.]
But then in a surprise move in the same ruling, the judge ordered Whatcott to deliver the names of a half a dozen anonymous "zombies" who helped hand out the info packets as well as the "unidentified financial backers" who funded the group's expenses. The judge argued that knowing the identities of the individuals who helped Whatcott was "necessary" to the homosexual activists if they were to decide in the future to go ahead with further legal action on grounds that the judge himself suggested.
But Whatcott said he would rather go to jail than betray his friends and supporters to homosexual activists who have publicly promised to "punish them" with a multimillion-dollar lawsuit.
Instead of letting Whatcott face jail time for being in contempt of court in not handing over the names of his friends and supporters, Whatcott's lawyers are appealing the ruling.
In the appeal, Charles Lugosi and Findlay McCarthy argue that Judge Perell "erred" in ordering Whatcott to reveal the identities of the members of his group after having dismissed the case. "Once it was determined that the action could not proceed as a class proceeding and that the representative plaintiffs [Smitherman and Hudspeth] had no cause of action, then the action should [have] been dismissed, as the plaintiffs were no longer capable of representing members of the classes," they argued in the appeal.
Whatcott said that the judge ordering him to betray his friends so that homosexual activists can bring legal action against them shows how far the nation has "turn[ed] its back on God" as it "embraces sexual libertinism as its new idol.
Indeed, a judge helping the losing party to refile its claim and ordering the winning party to reveal the identities of friends and helpers to the losers so the helpers of the winning side can be sued is unheard of in property, divorce, criminal, or injury cases," he said. "Only in a case involving homosexual activism where the homosexual activists are seeking to silence the voice of Christians could such a deviation from established legal norms be contemplated," he added.
Whatcott has launched a GoGetFunding page to raise $50,000 to help cover his legal costs. So far, he has raised $10,706 (21 percent) of his goal. "If you agree with me this lawsuit is unjust and if you would like to help, please do so," he wrote on his funding page titled "Help Bill protect his friends and stay out of jail!"

Whatcott's lawyers are also arguing that the judge erred in denying costs to Whatcott despite having thrown out the case.
"It would be wrong to put a defendant [Whatcott] to the expense of the litigation process if there is no reasonable cause of action against that defendant on the face of the pleading," they argued.
"Justice Perell, in striking the Statement of Claim as disclosing no reasonable causes of action, should have awarded the defendant to recover the full legal costs of the motion to strike," they added.

Causes of Phobias Can Be Complicated
Posted on December 2, 2021 by vtsiadmin
A New York woman was once so terrified of snakes that simply reading the word for the reptile would derail her into panic mode. Yet, the cause of her phobia wasn't initially clear. "What was fascinating about it is she grew up on Long Island, which has no snakes as far as I know unless you had a pet snake," says psychiatrist Liat Jarkon, who saw the woman as a patient several years back. "She never traveled to an area that was indigenous to snakes, she'd never been bitten, nothing."
Eventually, the two decided her phobia stemmed from watching a movie that featured a snake. "It horrified her so much that it started her thinking, 'what if, what if, what if,'" Jarkon says.
Over the course of their sessions together, Jarkon — who currently serves as the director of the Center for Behavioral Health at the New York Institute of Technology — worked with the patient through exposure therapy. They began by writing the word "snake," then moved on to looking at photos of the slithery creatures. Eventually, the woman was able to handle being in the same room as a plastic model of a snake.
Obscure Origins
From acrophobia (the fear of heights) to turophobia (the fear of cheese), phobias come in a variety of flavors. All, however, are defined by extremely debilitating, and often irrational, feelings of anxiety. And they may be more common than you think, according to the Anxiety & Depression Association of America, with roughly 8 to 9 percent of the U.S. population affected by specific phobias.

Like the vast number of phobias themselves, the reasons behind them are also varied. Personally, I have a bit of a phobia around driving — particularly when navigating large cities. My mom, who has similar anxieties, was my main source of driver's education. Did I pick up the fear from her or was I always destined to share the same anxiety because of our shared genes? Experts say both are likely contributing factors.
"You learn from what happens to you and also from what you see and hear," says Elizabeth McMahon, a San Francisco-based psychologist who has specialized in treating anxiety and phobias for more than 30 years. "People have developed phobias from movies, from seeing how friends or family members behave, from hearing about others' scary experiences, as well as [from] having frightening experiences themselves."
Experiences such as being bitten by a dog, sitting through an especially turbulent flight or witnessing a crime can all be triggers. "Let's say I was waiting in line and I saw someone being robbed," Jarkon says. "I might be afraid of waiting in line again. Or I might be more heightened to the sound of someone screaming because the person being robbed was screaming."
Nature vs. Nurture
Traumatic experiences can often be the culprit behind anxiety and phobias, but genetics and other factors can play a role too. "People with a genetic predisposition to anxiety may be at high risk of developing a phobia," says Shagoon Maurya, a psychologist and psychotherapist based in Australia who provides virtual counseling to clients. "Age, socioeconomic status and gender seem to be risk factors only for certain phobias."
For example, people from different countries report different rates of phobias too, Jarkon notes. While the prevalence in the U.S. hovers around 9 percent, in Asia and Africa it's only about 2 to 4 percent. Women in general have specific phobias at twice the rate of men — and, strangely, are more likely to have animal-related phobias, Maurya adds. "It is a play of our genetics, environment, mental processes and experiences," she says.
"Either factor alone can be enough to result in a phobia or other anxiety problem," McMahon says. Most phobias typically develop during childhood or early adulthood. "While some people have been anxious 'all my life as long as I can remember,' we also learn from what we are told, what we experience and what we see others do. So if a parent has a phobia, the child is more likely to develop the phobia."
Exposure therapy, like in the snake example above, is often considered the most effective method for overcoming a phobia because "you don't get over a fear by avoiding what you're afraid of," McMahon says. Medication and other forms of therapy can play a role as well.
The ultimate goal is to shift your thinking about the phobia so that your actions and emotions can follow suit and you no longer become frightened of fear itself, she says. "You understand that it is a false alarm, that you're not in danger, and that you can cope despite fear."

NIEUWS – Linn heeft het prachtige album The Absence van Melody Gardot in studio master uitgebracht. Hoewel de opname in 16bit al prima is, is de studio master natuurlijk wel weer een stapje verder naar hoe het écht hoort te klinken.
Linn is hard aan het werk om interessante, degelijke titels in Studio Master uit te bregen. Melody Gardot is één van de parels die u als liefhebber van Jazz / Blues moet hebben. En als u een high-res streamer bezit, is de Studio Master natuurlijk helemaal smullen. Kortom: klik hier en downloaden maar!
International best-selling jazz sensation Melody Gardot is a Grammy-nominated singer whose sultry mix of jazz and blues is combined with exotic world influences for her brand new album. After a year of travelling the world Melody was inspired to write 'The Absence', a collection of many musical colours wrapped in her unique and expressive style.
Written by Melody and produced by composer and guitarist Heitor Pereira – who also composed all the orchestral arrangements on the album – ?The Absence' is a stunning 11-track culmination of Melody's year-long globetrotting experiences. From the deserts of Morocco to the beaches of Brazil, ?The Absence' pulses to the hypnotic rhythms of Fado, Tango and Samba. Melody is joined on the album by acclaimed musicians: bassist John Leftwich, percussionist Paulihno DaCosta and drummers Jim Kelter and Peter Erskine among many others.
Lead track ?Mira' is a warm bossa nova accent with a heart of gold, then there's ?Lisboa', a glimpse of Melody's stay in the Portuguese capital capturing the musical sounds of the streets. Other album highlights include the classic Gershwin swell of ?So We Meet Again My Heartache', the tango-ready ?Goodbye', and the uplifting world-beat of ?Amalia'. All in all, an album not to be missed!
Het hitje 'Bonfire Heart' is op moment van schrijven niet van de radio af te slaan. Zonde, want zo draaien de zenders een prima nummer helemaal kapot. Gelukkig staat James Blunt niet bekend om het uitmelken van zijn albums door alle nummers als single uit te brengen. We luisteren naar het nieuwe album: Moon Landing.

The fourth-year English course "Comics and Graphic Narratives", a title as ambiguous as, say, "Short Stories and Novels", and even the more equivocal "Prose Fiction", is organised into several unstable thematic groupings: underground comics (or comix), revisionist narratives within the mainstream, memoirs & confessionals, new journalism, and auteur comics. The texts most recently selected for the course are based on historical impact, verifiable influence, and general popularity with readers worldwide, as well as with an eye to comics that experiment and expand the boundaries of the medium. So, while students do recognise some familiar names and titles, less well-known texts and artists too are represented.
In the fall semester of 2016, we read the following texts, texts I've loosely qualified in terms of blurred or blending genres, for each destabilises subgenre conventions, not to mention the traditional (artificial) boundary between 'fiction' and 'nonfiction'.
Tellingly, the critical text for "Comics and Graphic Narratives" similarly resists classical categorisation. Scott McCloud's Understanding Comics: The Invisible Art (1994) is at once a comic and a textbook. Understanding Comics is a self-reflexive critical comic that simultaneously traces the history of graphic representation and presents an analysis of different graphic strategies as it legitimates the graphic medium by deconstructing the comparatively recent historical privileging of words over images while expounding on the processes of closure or the invisible art of connecting discrete images. McCloud places a graphic version of himself in the text, thereby, among other things, elucidating the roles of the artist, educator, critic, and student: he's in the text discerning, evaluating, and creating.
What is the most compelling aspect of this course (for students and instructor) is what I simply label on the syllabus as "Final Project". I ask the students, in the mode of McCloud, or of any or all of the authors we study, or that students have introduced in their group presentations, to come up with their own creative final work. I offer only a few key—if also indefinite—caveats: the creative final project should be as time consuming as a 10-12 page research paper, should address texts and themes germane to the course, and should include a critical self-reflection of the project itself. In short, the projects ought to combine art and criticism, not at all unlike all worthwhile theoretical, literary, and artistic production/activism.
As when I first instructed a version of this course in Fall 2015, assessing my students' final projects left me, well, uncommonly moved, if I may be as understated as possible. I decided to photograph what I saw as the most compelling portions of these pieces. These submissions, not unlike our genre-blending course readings, arrived in multiple forms, including, memoir, appropriation, adaptation, auto-fiction, poster, board game, and blog. References to Hong Kong will be obvious to most local readers; references to the works listed above will be more familiar to contemporary comics readers. I realise that the images below offer only single snapshots of the work of my students. I hope, however, that these brief glimpses help to convey the academic, critical, and creative possibilities of the comics medium—and how BU's senior undergraduate students can exploit this and other media.
Student contributors of the selections that follow (in no particular order) are Blue Bell-Bhuiyan, Stephanie Chan, Brenda Cheng, Ariel Fang, Fenton Fong, Erin Fong, Tiffany Ku, Aaron Kwok, Blaine Lam, Pansy Lam, Xanthe Lau, Cecilia Lee, Isabella Lui, Christy Ngan, Crescentia So, To Chang, Sampson Tse, Liz Wong, and Katie Wong.

Q: Vector of pointer points to NULL when using push_back() I have the following struct in my code which assigns x and y randommly generated integer values:
struct A{
    int x,y;
    A () : x(random_gen_num),y(random_gen_num) {};
};

I have a vector of objects and need a vector of pointers pointing to each object:
vector<A> a(5);
a.reserve(5);

vector<const A*> apoint(5);
apoint.reserve(5);
for(const A thisA : a){
    apoint.push_back(&thisA);
}

When I try printing them using:
for(unsigned int i = 0; i<5; i++){
    cout<< i <<"\t"<< a[i].x <<"\t" << &a[i]<<"\t" << apoint[i] <<endl;
}

I get all my apoint as NULL pointers as follows:
0       8       0x29b1bd0       0
1       8       0x29b1bd8       0
2       1       0x29b1be0       0
3       8       0x29b1be8       0
4       6       0x29b1bf0       0

The code seems logical to me and works when I say apoint[i] = &a[i] in the for loop, but in the real case this is not valid as the indices of apoint and a might not be same.To my knowledge, I couldn't find an answered question with a similar problem. Is there a better way to insert pointers into vectors?

A: for(const A thisA : a){
    apoint.push_back(&thisA);
}

You push a pointer that is no longer valid on next loop. You need a reference (A&).
All that said of course, assuming you really need a vector of pointers (do you?)

A: vector<const A*> apoint(5);

Makes a vector and  preloads it with 5 const A*s that will be default initialized. That means apoint, before you push_back anything contains 5 null pointers. Since the size is already 5, the apoint.reserve(5); does effectively nothing. This also applies to vector<A> a(5);.
This means
for(unsigned int i = 0; i<5; i++){
    cout<< i <<"\t"<< a[i].x <<"\t" << &a[i]<<"\t" << apoint[i] <<endl;
}

prints out those 5 null pointers before it will reach the five added with push_back. Change
vector<const A*> apoint(5);

to
vector<const A*> apoint;

to construct an empty vector or assign into those 5 pointers  with apoint[index] = &thisA; and remove the Theapoint.reserve(5);`.
But...
for(const A thisA : a){
    apoint.push_back(&thisA);
}

Needs to be broken down a bit more to spot a second bug. const A thisA : a makes copies of the elements in a that only exist for a single iteration of the for loop. These pointers are too short-lived to be of any use to you. You want references to the values in a, not copies, so
for(const A thisA : a){
    apoint.push_back(&thisA);
}

needs to be
for(const A & thisA : a){
    apoint.push_back(&thisA);
}

A note about storing references to items in vectors: This is usually a bad idea. If ask a new question and explain your goal, we may be able to suggest better alternatives. If you really do need pointers to vector elements, be very careful that you do not violate the Iterator invalidation rules .


With earthy flavours in vogue for 2019, it's time to discover the psychedelic world of wild mushrooms in all their earthy iterations.
Heat a pan on a medium to high heat and add 2T teriyaki sauce and 2T olive oil. Add the garlic to infuse while cooking. Split the mushrooms into 4 portions and sear in a pan until just caramelised on both sides. (The heat removes some of the 'pinkness' of the mushrooms, so be careful not to overdo them). Season with salt and pepper and set aside. Remove the oil mixture from the heat and add the remaining teriyaki sauce and olive oil. Stir and set aside. This will become your salad dressing. Arrange the tomato slices on 4 plates (1 of each colour for each plate). Place the onion slices around the tomatoes and evenly arrange the sheep's milk feta over the 4 plates. Top with olive caviar, the pink oyster mushrooms and baby leaves. Remove the garlic clove halves from the teriyaki and olive oil dressing, give it a thorough mix and drizzle all over the salad.
* The olive caviar used is made by Mont Rouge. As an alternative, finely chop 10 dried black olives and 1t fresh rosemary, and season with salt and black pepper.
Bring the water to the boil and pour over the dried porcini mushrooms, rooibos teabag and turmeric to make a stock. Let it stand for about 10 minutes. Rinse all the herbs. Add the mushroom stock and the rest of the ingredients to a pot (except the chia and tukmaria seeds). Add 4 grinds of black pepper and bring to a very low simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and carefully remove the turmeric, herbs, garlic, onion and bay leaves, squeezing them to release all their flavours into the tea. Sprinkle with the chia and tukmaria seeds and simmer for another 5 minutes; the seeds will swell and absorb the tea. Season with salt and serve as a broth or chunky tea.
Toast the hazelnuts in a pan until brown and fragrant, and set aside. Melt the butter and then blend with the biscuits, hazelnuts and 1T (one piece) of preserved ginger to form the hazelnut crumble. Heat a pan on a medium to high heat and add the enoki mushrooms and 4T of the preserved ginger syrup, and toss. The mushrooms will brown quickly and caramelise with the syrup. Peel the most beautiful endive leaves and place them on a platter. Add a spoon of crumble onto the middle of each endive leaf and top with the mushrooms. Garnish with small leaves of torn wild rosemary (use fresh thyme leaves as an alternative).
Place the baby beetroot in a pan with the balsamic vinegar, honey and water. Simmer slowly and watch them carefully as the water evaporates and the balsamic starts to thicken. You don't want it to burn, so add more water if the beetroot isn't cooked through. You want the balsamic and honey to coat the beetroot in a glaze. Heat a pot of water to a rapid boil and season with sea salt. Cook the pasta to al dente and drain. In a small pan, heat the olive oil, add the sage leaves and fry until they become translucent. Take them out of the oil and drain on kitchen paper, seasoning lightly with salt. Set aside until serving. Add the pasta to the pan of beetroot and coat it by gently turning it over with tongs, heating it on low. Season with salt and black pepper. Heat another pan on a medium to high heat and add the butter and garlic until foaming. Add the lion's mane mushrooms and let them sear until just golden, for a minute on each side. Toss quickly and add to the pan with the pasta. Turn out onto plates and garnish with the sage leaves and sprouts.
Heat the oven to 160ºC. Place the cherries in a pan with the additional blueberries, water, fennel seeds and cardamom. Simmer until thick and 'jammy' and set aside. This will become your berry relish. Melt the butter, then brush the tree oyster mushrooms with it and season with salt and black pepper. Roast the mushrooms in the oven for 5 minutes, remove and add a slice of crottin to each one. Return to the oven and roast for a further 10 minutes until the gills and stems of the mushrooms start to go golden in colour and the cheese is soft and melted. Serve the mushrooms warm, topped with the berry relish and fennel flowers. Sprinkle the plate with the blueberry sherbet for a fun addition.
To make the sherbet, dry the blueberries in the oven on 50ºC until completely dried (it can take up to 8 hours depending on the size of the blueberries, so do this in advance). Blend with the sugar. If the sugar becomes wet, dry it in the oven again on 20ºC until it is completely dry and you can crumble it with your fingers. Add the citric acid and bicarbonate of soda and set aside for garnish.

Why wont my camera switch to the front one?
When i try to switch cameras, the screen just freezes on the image that was shown before the swap. I realy dont know how to fix it so please help.
First, I recommend resetting your iPod Touch.
If that doesn't help, I recommend restoring your iPod to factory settings using iTunes. Please make sure you have a backup before restoring your device.
If restoring your iPod Touch does not help, it may be indicative of a hardware problem. If you narrow it down to being a hardware issue, hopefully it is only a loose camera cable. Use this guide to get to the front facing camera. If checking the connection doesn't resolve the issue, you may need to replace the Front Facing Camera.
