The Oddball Life and Career of Dr. Sylas Neville
Posted on June 3, 2015	by William Savage
Sylas Neville at 29
Almost all we know of Dr. Sylas Neville comes from the fragment of his diary that covers 1767 to 1788. I say fragment, because the surviving manuscript begins abruptly on January 26th, 1767, and he lived long after the date it ends in 1788.
The only available published transcript was made in the 1950s[1] and suffers somewhat from the prudishness of that time – most references to his (seemingly many) sexual exploits are omitted – but enough remains to show just what an oddball Dr. Neville was, and why he fits nicely into the large group of eccentrics who have made Norfolk their home over the years. As local people say, "In Norfolk, we do different." Whether or not Dr. Neville knew of this saying, his life conformed to it very well.
The oddities relating to Sylas Neville's life begin early. Of his origins and family he says little. What he does write, within the diaries and in various surviving letters, is so evasive, inconsistent and uncertain that it's hard to avoid the conclusion that he felt he had something to hide.
At one point, he seems to deny almost any knowledge of his ancestors – hard to believe in an eighteenth-century gentleman. At another, he seems to suggest he originated "t'other side of the Tweed"[2]. Most likely, he actually began his life in London, which is where he is when his diary opens.
Of his education we also know little. He was obviously well-educated in the typical Classical mode, since he is at ease with Latin and has no difficulty in later years in gaining acceptance to the University of Edinburgh to study medicine: a course which required the preparation of a lengthy dissertation in Latin in order to graduate.
He also, early in his life, has some kind of private income, as well as hopes (unfulfilled) of a large inheritance from an uncle. However, from the start of the diary, the pattern of his life emerges: constant worries about money, due mostly to a total inability to manage his financial affairs and an addiction to overspending.
Leaving London
By 1768, his London lifestyle was causing him serious financial difficulty. Despite noting in his diary constant resolutions and injunctions to himself to practise economy, he decided it would be better for him to leave the capital and find somewhere cheaper to live in the country.
His first area of search was the South West around Exeter, but he found little to please him, remarking that he saw everything remarkable in Bath on August 29th and everything remarkable in Bristol before dinner on August 30th. That's seemingly better than Exeter, where he wrote that he saw everything remarkable before breakfast!
Next, he went along the South Coast, beginning at Lyme, then going to Weymouth, the Isle of Wight, Arundel and Hastings, never staying anywhere very long. He did not find anywhere to live, but he did pick up a housekeeper, Sarah (Sally) Bradford, in Eastbourne[3]. She was to figure in much of the rest of his life, causing him yet more financial embarrassment, as well as considerable emotional turmoil. When he first engaged her, she already had an illegitimate child. Very soon, she became Neville's' mistress, bearing him several more children. That he never married may be as much due to her as to his poor finances. Both he and Sally had roving eyes[4]. Both could become extremely jealous. Both were prone to emotional outbursts. Sally, in Neville's view, sometimes gave herself airs inappropriate in a servant (hardly surprising). Neville continually harboured doubts about her faithfulness, despite all her protestations.
Eventually, Neville gave up his search along the South Coast and headed eastwards to Yarmouth, on the coast of Norfolk. This was more to his liking and he looked for a house with much greater enthusiasm, though he was a fussy renter. In the end, he rented a small estate near Scratby[5], where he installed Sally and her child and tried to play the part of a minor country squire.
Despite his liking for the area and the role, his chronic inability to manage money caught up with him. His diary is filled with worries about attempts to collect various debts owed to him and anxious anticipation of small gifts from his mother. It seems he sponged from her all his life, though she can hardly have been rich either.
His relationship with Sally continued to be stormy. He had persuaded her to claim some sort of "marriage"[6] to a Mr. Russell, a man far older than her, probably for the sake of respectability, and called her Russell in his diary from then on. Otherwise nothing changed between them, save that Mr. Russell was added to his household and his expenses for a time! Here are three examples from the diary of their emotional tangles. I could have quoted many more:
"Wednesday night Russell (Sally) broke her promise by dancing at an improper place & this day used me very ill. God knows when & how I shall get rid of my embarrassments." (July 12th, 1771)
"Russell promised upon her knees to behave to me with more respect." (July 16th, 1771)
"The badness of my house-keeper's temper is extremely troublesome. I overheard her say tonight that I was a hard-hearted creature. The favours I have heaped upon her are a proof of that." (August 31st, 1771)
His next attempt to find stable employment and a regular income was to qualify as a physician. He worked out that Edinburgh might be the best place to study and seems to have prevailed on the trustees of his estate – whoever they were – to finance the enterprise. Off he went to Edinburgh, sending for Sally later.
Surprisingly, his time in Edinburgh proved to be the most successful part of his life. He appears to have been a popular and well-respected student, obtained good reports from his professors and graduated with some distinction.
"Dr. Hope who examined me was exceedingly polite – paid me many high compliments – & then made only two observations, to which it pleased God to strengthen me to give proper answers, even in public. He then concluded with further praise of my Dissertation, saying it was 'bene eleganter et erudite scripta.' When the examinations were over, the Candidates were desired to retire, while the Principal asked the professors if it was their pleasure that he should confer the Degree of Doctor on them, to which they having assented, we (the Candidates) were called in, having first put on Doctor's gowns, and … received the reward of all our labours – the Degree of Doctor of Medicine …" (Diary, September 12th, 1775)
All seemed set fair at last. After graduation, he went back to London, attended a few medical lectures, but little more. Nothing in his diary suggests he treated any patients, though he retained the title of Doctor for the rest of his life. Instead, he suddenly decided to go abroad with a friend and undertake a kind of Grand Tour[7], mostly in France and Italy. Where he got the money from, heaven only knows!
While he was away, Sally gave birth to a daughter, another Sally. Nonetheless, he showed no eagerness to return home, making a leisurely journey through France to Paris and then southwards, until France's open support of the American Colonies forced him to press on into Italy in some haste. There his companion, a Mr. Gifford, died.
Even this sad affair raised some complications in Neville's life that were to trouble him for some years. The friend and travelling-companion Gifford had added a death-bed codicil to his will, appointing Neville an additional executor to clear up his affairs in Italy. Now Neville claimed two large sums from the estate: £400 for his expenses as executor, plus his 'anxiety and loss of health'; £269 as paid to 'an Italian lady of quality' on account of an affair he said Gifford had had with her[8]. Not surprisingly, this upset one of the English executors and a Chancery Court case followed, which lasted several years, caused Neville to make many trips to London on his own and ended in a compromise.
'Settling Down'
After three years, he came back to England in 1780. Sally and their daughter were still in Newcastle. Neville visited them, but did not stay long, roaming instead back to Edinburgh, then south through newly-industrialised England (which he hated) and back to London. There he hung around in the hope of securing some type of government appointment and at length allowed Sally to join him. He never got the appointment, so he returned briefly to Scotland. Eventually, he decided to move yet again, this time to Norfolk, where he settled in Norwich and claimed he would at last practise as a physician.
His attempt to make use of his medical training proved extremely difficult. He had no money to buy a practice or a partnership and his politics made it hard for him to curry favour with rich potential patients, even through dissembling. Here is an example of part of a letter he wrote to try to win an introduction to some of the best of Norwich Society:
"The other new doctor must stand entirely upon the dissenting interest & a certain party of the lower class of people. This obliges me to be more connected with the High Church than may perhaps be agreeable to one who hates bigotry of every kind, but we must in this & many other cases take things as they are. If therefore you know any line to our new Bishop, Dr. Bagot, Dean Lloyd or the Chancellor, Dr. Sandby, it would serve me most essentially. … I wish to get recommendations to as many of the great as I can, not that I expect them to employ me at first, but it is always an advantage to be known to the leading people where one lives … something of this kind is necessary in my case to counterbalance the interest I am afraid my adversary has already with many of the middling class … I have secured a very tolerable interest with the Quakers, & if I could manage the Catholics, it would add much to my strength." (Letter to Dr. Sandon in Chichester, 1783)
Given his track-record, it is difficult to estimate exactly how much genuine effort went into his attempts to set himself up in doctoring. Most of the evidence comes from the many letters he sent at this time asking for recommendations or help. Naturally, such letters always painted the picture of a man of ambition and drive, needing only a little help to succeed in the world. Sadly, little in his life before then suggested such a person. Nor is it likely that allowed a small matter such as concern for the truth to get in the way of a suitable turn of phrase.
He also had to account for Sally and their children in some respectable way. Once again, his chosen method was devious, for he ensured the poor woman – who, despite his suspicions of her, had born his children, followed him all around Britain and waited patiently while he amused himself overseas – was married off to his manservant Read, legally this time.[9].
Nor did Neville's own sexual habits change. He was still going regularly to London in connection with the case against him in Chancery over his friend's death in Italy. On May 24th, 1784, an entry in his diary in Italian simply reads: "With Emily the whole night." Emily – her surname is never mentioned – seems to have lived in London and to have been his 'consolation' for the efforts he had to make to deal with the law-suit. Certainly he gave almost as much attention to her at this time as he did to his affairs in Chancery!
His finances remained in a mess for the rest of his life. What resources he had appear to have been reduced yet further by the failure of an annuity scheme. In 1811, he wrote the following in a letter:
"About a dozen years ago I had the misfortune to lose a large sum of money and as I had lived in good style I was much in debt at the time this happened. My creditors behaved extremely ill, and I am reduced by the misfortunes which have befallen me from the possession of an ample fortune to an income so slender as not to have enough for the necessaries of life after paying the rent and taxes of my house."
Eventually, he became a tireless author of innumerable begging letters, sending them to anyone he could think of who was wealthy. Here, it seems, he found his true vocation, for he survived in Norwich for a further fifty years of life almost entirely on the proceeds of what his letters drew in donations from kind correspondents. He died at last in 1840, virtually unnoticed by the world, having survived poor Sally by many years.

"They too took notice that no one would know me from my speech to be from t'other side the Tweed, and say it is a great advantage." (Diary, May 6th, 1767). ↩
"Continued at the Lamb, East-Bourne, to engage a young woman (who was seduced by one Bland, a major of the accursed standing army) to be my servant when I settle." (Diary, September 25th, 1768). ↩
For example, Neville's diary entry for February 18th, 1769 mentions receiving a letter 'from SB' (Sally Bradford) and replying instantly. However, on February 22nd he reports thus on his new landlady, a Mrs. Willoughby: "Tho' the family is Popish, I am very well satisfied. Mrs. W. is young, handsome and very agreeable. As I have learned from her that her husband has been grossly false to her, and as I see that he treats her with indifference, I think it no crime to have made some progress in her affections …" It's not clear from the transcript whether this turned in to a full-blown affair (curse 1950s prudery!), but it seems so. Certainly it would later cost Neville some rapid footwork and emotional turmoil to free himself from Mrs. W.'s affections towards him! ↩
"After dinner went with my landlord to Mr. Ramy's, the principle Attorney in this town, to sign the lease I have taken of Scratby-house." (Diary, June 24th, 1769). ↩
Whether this was ever an actual marriage is open to question. Though Neville began to refer to Sally as 'Russell' in his diary, when she contracted a legal marriage later, she did so under her maiden name and claimed in the register to be a spinster. ↩
Originally, there were 12 volumes of diary for his period abroad, but one is now lost. Certainly he recorded all in great detail, beginning with what was almost an obligatory stop for any student of medicine: the famous university and medical school at Leiden. ↩
£400 seems a great deal to claim for expenses etc. (perhaps £60,000 in today's purchasing power). It also seems at least possible, given his track-record, that it was Neville who bedded the Italian lady, rather than Gifford – or maybe it was both of them! ↩
Thereafter, all the children she had born to Neville before and those she bore even after this marriage took her new husband's name of Read. ↩

The Mother-in-Law by Sally Hepworth | Review
On 16th Apr 2019 16th Apr 2019 By Brianne's Book ReviewsIn General Fiction, Mystery, NetGalley, ThrillerLeave a comment
A twisty, compelling new novel about one woman's complicated relationship with her mother-in-law that ends in death…
From the moment Lucy met her husband's mother, she knew she wasn't the wife Diana had envisioned for her perfect son. Exquisitely polite, friendly, and always generous, Diana nonetheless kept Lucy at arm's length despite her desperate attempts to win her over. And as a pillar in the community, an advocate for female refugees, and a woman happily married for decades, no one had a bad word to say about Diana…except Lucy.
That was five years ago.
Now, Diana is dead, a suicide note found near her body claiming that she longer wanted to live because of the cancer wreaking havoc inside her body.
But the autopsy finds no cancer.
It does find traces of poison, and evidence of suffocation.
Who could possibly want Diana dead? Why was her will changed at the eleventh hour to disinherit both of her children, and their spouses? And what does it mean that Lucy isn't exactly sad she's gone?
Fractured relationships and deep family secrets grow more compelling with every page in this twisty, captivating new novel from Sally Hepworth.
Praise for Sally Hepworth:
"With jaw-dropping discoveries, and realistic consequences, this novel is not to be missed. Perfect for lovers of Big Little Lies." —Library Journal, starred review
"Hepworth deftly keeps the reader turning pages and looking for clues, all the while building multilayered characters and carefully doling out bits of their motivations." —Booklist
If you enjoy a good family saga then you might want to read Sally Hepworth's latest novel. This is my first time of reading a book by this author and I was not disappointed! "The Mother-in-Law" brings to life an incredible family account of greed and betrayal.
This book, set in Australia, has many of the components that make a really good story: from the mood and undercurrents to the very clever writing and the experience of deep family secrets and fractured relationships, not forgetting the feelings of hope, the fear, the utter desperation and failure.
"The Mother-in-Law" focuses on Lucy's fractious relationship with her husband's mother, Diana. Lucy has married Ollie, who is from a wealthy family, dominated by the matriarch.
From the very first chapter, I found myself immediately drawn in, following the grave news of Diana's death, the circumstances of which were being treated as suspicious by the police. Her death had the appearance of suicide due to the presence of a note, but then became a matter slightly more deceiving. Diana, inclined to be rather aloof, left behind her husband Tom, son Ollie and daughter Nettie, not to mention her impressive estate…
This story is told from dual perspectives – Lucy's and Diana's – in the present with flashbacks to the past. Sally Hepworth has drawn a great character in Lucy, the outsider, trying hard to please her mother-in-law, to be accepted into her husband's family, only to repeatedly fall short of the mark.
Sally Hepworth has also done a brilliant job with her portrayal of Diana and this really complements the story for me. Diana was not simply a typical mother-in-law mischief-maker; she was a person with many attributes – mother, wife, friend, daughter and do-gooder. Some of her drive was quite understandable which made it difficult for me to completely scorn her. As past and present merged it became clear that nobody in the family really knew or understood each other.
One of my favourite aspects of this novel was the fluidity of Sally Hepworth's writing. She managed to provide the details and twists of the plot without messing with the tone of the storyline. Each brilliantly executed chapter left me with a compelling need to read on.
For me, "The Mother-in-Law" was a tale of dramatic suspense but also one of deep reflection. At times, it made me dwell on my own family relationships and dynamics, especially those of the past. This novel definitely leaves you in a reflective mood, both during and after the story ended.
The book definitely has a strong mystery element, culminating in a thrilling and fulfilling ending. I really enjoyed it and I would certainly recommend it. This novel has left an impression on me and I will be reading more from Sally Hepworth. She has now become an author to watch out for!
Thanks to NetGalley, St Martin's Press and the author, Sally Hepworth, for my free ARC of The Mother-in-Law in exchange for an honest review.

Baby Bird by Andrew Gibbs | Review
On 8th Apr 2019 8th Apr 2019 By Brianne's Book ReviewsIn Children, NetGalleyLeave a comment
"All birds are born to fly," thinks Baby Bird, watching the other hatchlings leave the nest. "I suppose it's now or never…" But one of Baby's wings is twisted and shrunken and not at all like the other one. Instead of flying, Baby plummets to the ground. There, Baby makes a new friend, and learns that sometimes you have to find unexpected ways to achieve your dreams. A moving story about the power of friendship and the importance of accepting yourself just the way you are, this lovely watercolor picture book shows how friends can help you overcome difficulty.
A delightful and adorable tale illustrated with eye-catching watercolour. A little bird is trying to learn how to fly. But one of Baby Bird's wings is twisted and shrunken and not at all like the other one. Instead of flying, Baby plummets to the ground. Baby Bird meets another bird, Cooter, who helps Bird accept that, even if you can't fly, you can still get around and enjoy life!
"Baby Bird" by Andrew Gibbs is a sweet tale about friendship and acceptance which is also an important reminder for both adults and children. I really enjoyed reading "Baby Bird." The lovely illustrations will keep young children engaged in the story and it is a fantastic bed-time story for them.
{Thank you to #NetGalley and Quarto Publishing for the free copy of #BabyBird and for giving me the opportunity to provide an honest review.}

Endless Love – piosenka napisana przez Lionela Richiego i pierwotnie nagrana w duecie z Dianą Ross. Utwór został ponownie nagrany przez Luthera Vandrossa i Marię Carey i wydany na singlu w 1994 roku.

Tło
Piosenka jest uważana za duet "wysokiej klasy" w odniesieniu do Carey (poprzedni "I'll Be There" wykonała z wówczas nieznanym Treyem Lorenzem). Singel został nominowany do 1995 Grammy Awards w nowej kategorii. Columbia Records zamieściło utwór na składance Carey Greatest Hits (2001) oraz na albumie z piosenkami miłosnymi The Ballads.

Nagrywanie
Tommy Mottola, dyrektor Sony Music zasugerował, aby album Songs Vandrossa stał się albumem z coverami. Album zawierał wersje piosenek "Love The One You're With", "Always and Forever" i "Killing Me Softly" nagrane przez Vandrossa i kształtował się na główne osiągnięcie w karierze Luthera Vandrossa. Aby lepiej reklamować album po jego wydaniu żona Mottoli, Mariah Carey, zasugerowała, aby Luther nagrał z nią cover "Endless Love" Lionela Richiego i Diany Ross (który przez 9 tygodni był na pierwszym miejscu listy przebojów) i umieścił go na swojej płycie. Pomimo tego, że album Vandrossa zawierał już jeden cover Lionela Richiego ("Hello") to stało się oczywiste, że nagranie duetu z najpopularniejszą wokalistką wytwórni Sony stanie się korzystne dla niego i jego płyty.

Listy przebojów
"Endless Love" zadebiutował na 31 miejscu listy czasopisma "Billboard" Hot 100 – lepiej niż oryginalna wersja piosenki. W drugim tygodniu na liście znalazł się na 6. miejscu i spodziewano się, że w następnym będzie już na szczycie listy. Niestety piosenka nie przetrwała długo na liście i gdy singel dobił do drugiego miejsca zaczęła stopniowo spadać z wyższych pozycji i wycofywać się z listy. Mimo to, jest to wciąż największy hit Vandrossa i pierwszy Top 10 Lionela Richiego jako pisarza tekstu. Stał się piątym singlem Top 10 Vandrossa i dwunastym takim w dyskografii Carey. Singel znalazł się w pierwszej 40. przez 13 tygodni, a na koniec roku 1994 zdobył 56. miejsce. Był to także postęp w karierze Carey, której poprzedni singel "Anytime You Need a Friend" nie dostał się do pierwszej 10. Singel zdobył status Złotej Płyty (RIAA).

Singel był sukcesem poza Stanami Zjednoczonymi, osiągając pierwsze miejsce na liście w Nowej Zelandii (przez pięć tygodni) oraz w pierwszej piątce w Wielkiej Brytanii, Australii, Irlandii, Holandii i Izraelu. Znalazł się on także w pierwszej 20. w wielu innych państwach świata. Singiel zdobył status Złotej Płyty (ARIA i RIANZ).

Teledysk i inne wersje
Do piosenki zostały nagrane dwa teledyski: jeden przedstawia Carey i Vandrossa śpiewających w studio nagrań, a drugi to występ na żywo w Royal Albert Hall.

Niektóre wersje piosenki są śpiewane przez samą Carey lub samego Vandrossa.

Piosenka została zaśpiewana przez Johna O'Connela.

Piosenka została nagrana przez uczestniczkę UK X Factor Laurę White. Pomimo wysokiej oceny sędziów i tego, że Carey bardzo podobał się występ Laury, opuściła ona program.

Top Teacher: Rochelle Buchanan
By Mike Cihla | March 18, 2020 at 7:24 PM EDT - Updated March 18 at 7:55 PM
SAVANNAH, Ga. (WTOC) - Rochelle Buchanan teaches 4th grade at Juliette Low School in Savannah.
"I tell that I care about them all the time. And I love them all. So, I want them to go on and be the best that they can be," Buchanan said of her students.
Buchanan has been teaching for 15 years. She says there is nothing better than helping a child learn.
"When I see that light come on. When I'm teaching something and, 'Oh, I got it.' Keeps me coming back... these smiling faces, and I enjoy it," Buchanan said.
She says building a strong relationship with her students is the key to their learning.
"I try to have a personal relationship with all of them. I tell them it's a community, out there it's a community, in here it's a community. We have a community going on in here too. We must love and care for each other. and respect the same way going on out there. We're family," Buchanan said.
"She is a nice teacher and she puts up with me. She teaches me leadership and group work. I just couldn't thank her enough for that," student Jah'mya Grant said.

It's Tuesday which means it's time for 'Top Ten Tuesday' from The Broke and the Bookish. I wasn't sure I would manage the Halloween Freebie but I had a look through the books I've read and I have enough for a post, just maybe not 10.
As always, in no particular order. Links are to reviews, pictures are affiliate links to amazon.
I read this modern day Dracula story when I was at uni. At the time a lived in a house where my room had lots of fitted cupboards, I used to wake-up after having funny dreams and check all the cupboards before I could go back to sleep. Despite (or maybe because of) this it remains a favourite of mine.
A family of recovering vampires are trying to fit in in a normal neighbourhood. Can it work?
Is the old house haunted? And is it possible to fall in love with a ghost?
For HP: voice in the walls, but definitely those spiders as well.
Nice list! The Chamber of Secrets is creepy! Here is my Top Ten Tuesday.
All these covers look really creepy! I haven't read any of these (except HP), as I don't read many spooky books 😛 Great list though!
Chamber freaked me out but more for the spiders than the ghosts!
I've never seen anyone else mention The Historian before! I feel like that book doesn't get the TLC it deserves!
I don't really mind spiders…but not ones that big!
They were creepy, and I don't mind spiders!
Love this! I adore that you included so many great selections. In particular, After Dark and then of course Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets!
I don't even like the small ones, so ones that big are terrifying to me.
Some of these look so creepy. Happy Halloween!


Saturday was a great day for the campaign. The weather was absolutely perfect, and everyone came ready and excited for the work. We had almost 150 fliers ready to hand out. We covered all of our planned territory and even more before we ran out. People as a whole were very friendly and warm to us. None of the animals seemed to wish us harm, either!
The bonfire also was wonderful. Our crew showed up in force and we had a great time cooking hot dogs and marshmallows. The message from Brother Brown was excellent as was the singing. Thanks for your prayers and concerns.
This week: Open Bible Study nights. Tuesday-Thursday 7:00-8:30 PM.
This AP Survey was very interesting to me. A good sign? Perhaps. A good opportunity? Definitely.
Check out the accompanying graphic. Note especially the numbers about conflict between science and religion.
Roby campaign update: Tonight- paint the baptistry. Hopefully we won't be killed by noxious fumes. Saturday: door knocking time!!

Q: How can I make a function which returns some View and accepts a closure in SwiftUI? I want build a function for View which accepts a closure like onChange or onPreferenceChange here is my code, with this code I can read value or the change of value, but I cannot send it back to my ContentView, because I want use print(newValue) in ContentView. How can I do this? thanks for your help and time.

import SwiftUI

struct ContentView: View {

    @State private var stringOfText: String = "Hello, world!"

    var body: some View {

        Text(stringOfText)
            .perform(value: stringOfText) // <<: Here: I want get back data as: { newValue in print(newValue) }

        Button("update") { stringOfText += " updated!" }.padding()

    }
}

extension View {

    func perform(value: String) -> some View {

        return self
            .preference(key: CustomPreferenceKey.self, value: value)
            .onPreferenceChange(CustomPreferenceKey.self) { newValue in

                print(newValue)

                // I want send back newValue to ContentView that perform used!

            }

    }

}

struct CustomPreferenceKey: PreferenceKey {

    static var defaultValue: String { get { return String() } }

    static func reduce(value: inout String, nextValue: () -> String) { value = nextValue() }

}

A: so we only need to add callback closure parameter in perform function. like this
func perform(value: String,callback : @escaping (_ value : String ) -> Void) -> some View

so now we have a callback closure in which we can send the value back.
  struct ContentView: View {
            @State private var stringOfText: String = "Hello, world!"
            var body: some View {
                Text(stringOfText)
                    .perform(value: stringOfText) {
                        newValue in
                        print(newValue)
                    }
                Button("update") { stringOfText += " updated!" }.padding()
            }
        }

   extension View {
        func perform(value: String,callback : @escaping (_ value : String ) -> Void) -> some View {
            return self
                .preference(key: CustomPreferenceKey.self, value: value)
                .onPreferenceChange(CustomPreferenceKey.self) { newValue in
                    callback(newValue)
                }
        }
    }

    struct CustomPreferenceKey: PreferenceKey {
        static var defaultValue: String { get { return String() } }
        static func reduce(value: inout String, nextValue: () -> String) { value = nextValue() }

    }

German National Team and International Soccer
Three Observations: Germany rout Italy 4-1 in Munich
The German National Team rebounded from an embarrassing 3-2 loss to England with stellar offensive play and solid defense, ultimately sending Italy home after a stinging 4-1 rout.

Following a disappointing 3-2 loss to England, a German National Team increasingly pressed for results hosted a strong Italian side at the Allianz Arena in Munich. Brilliant offensive work by the team's Bayern Munich contingent, Thomas Müller and Mario Götze, and by ex-Bayern man Toni Kroos gave Germany a 2-0 lead that the team expanded to a 4-1 rout.
The teams seemed evenly matched at the outset, with Germany playing possession and Italy searching for opportunities to counter, but as Italy struggled to find an opening, Germany surged forward and overwhelmed the visitors. The first goal of the game caught everyone by surprise: as Germany moved up the field to attack, the ball was played high up the pitch to Thomas Müller lurking in the top right corner. Müller's cross was intercepted by Italy's Bonucci, but his weak clearance rolled right to the feet of Toni Kroos. Kroos wasted no time in shooting the ball into the net from the top of the arc. Germany now dominated possession in Italy's half and ultimately extended its lead to two goals just before halftime, as a beautiful pass from Mesut Özil found Thomas Müller again lurking deep in Italy's territory. Müller fired a perfect cross into the penalty area that was headed in perfectly by none other than 5'9" Mario Götze.
Italy emerged from the locker room in the second half somewhat more aggressive, but Germany continued to control the pitch. Although Italy occasionally harried ter Stegen, Germany soon found yet another opening, as Julian Draxler charged forward. Draxler combined magnificently with Mario Götze to keep the attack alive and win the space to provide an assist for Jonas Hector, who scored his first goal for the German National Team. Germany put the final nail in the coffin on a penalty drawn by Buffon, who snagged Rudy's foot while attempting to clear the ball. Özil coolly shot the ensuing penalty kick into the top left corner. Italy won a consolation goal late in the game off an improbable shot from outside the arc by El Shaarawy that flew right over Marc André ter Stegen's head. By then, though, the match belonged to Germany.
Match Observations
1. While Pep Guardiola has not played Mario Götze since his appearance in Bayern's overwhelming victory over Bremen, despite his return from injury, Jogi Löw has sent a clear signal. Löw, who has spoken out publicly in support of his protegé, gave Götze his first playing time late in Germany's loss to England and then started him for the match today against Italy. Götze did not disappoint: he played an aggressive game today and showed outstanding chemistry with his teammates. He managed to head in a beautiful cross from Thomas Müller to secure Germany's second goal and was instrumental in the build-up to Germany's third goal, delivering a crucial back-heel pass in a one-two play with Julian Draxler. The goal in particular clearly meant the world to Götze. All will be watching how Guardiola reacts after his performance today, particularly amid growing speculation that Götze may leave Bayern Munich.
2. Germany's post-Lahm defensive line remains a work in progress, but the defensive configuration fielded today was sufficient to stave off the attacks of an Italian side that soon slipped behind an insurmountable German lead. Löw appeared to field a back three, with Mats Hummels drifting somewhat awkwardly back and forth between the midfield and the defense, while Rudy drifted consistently up the right to contribute to Germany's offense. The gambit worked - Rudy even drew a penalty - although it must be said that Italy's finishing and offense overall was surprisingly poor. Hummels managed to be on the defensive side of the ball when it counted, and his fellow defenders made few mistakes. Marc-André ter Stegen, however, who stood between the posts in place of the ailing Manuel Neuer, gave supporters fits with his bumbling footwork and poor decision-making.
3. With Bastian Schweinsteiger injured and Manuel Neuer out sick, Thomas Müller celebrated his fiftieth cap for the German National Team as captain and showed that he has what it takes to lead this team. Müller delivered an outstanding game, winning maximum efficiency with minimum effort. By finding space and providing crosses at the right moment, he created the chance for Toni Kroos to score the opening goal and provided the assist for Götze's goal, giving Germany a comfortable 2-0 lead, celebrating humorously with his Bayern teammate afterwards in what must have been an incredible confidence-building moment for Götze. Müller yielded the captain's armband fifteen minutes later to Mats Hummels, but by then his work was done.

Louisiana's run-off election between Democratic incumbent Mary Landrieu and Republican challenger Suzanne Terrell promises to show whether Democrats have learned from last month's election-day debacle.
The challenge facing Democrats is clear. As Ron Fournier writes for the Associated Press: "How do they run against a popular wartime president without alienating their most loyal voters?" Granted, there is one major distinction in the Louisiana race: No Republican has won a Senate contest in the Bayou state since Reconstruction.
Landrieu is a moderate-to-conservative Democrat who has consistently supported Bush. That played well with swing voters during the general election. But, as Stuart Rothenberg notes in Roll Call, Landrieu must now find a way to "mobilize strongly partisan Democrats" before the Dec. 6 run-off vote.
Ragan Naresh and Mary Clare Jalonick write in the Washington Post that Landrieu has begun to combat Terrell's tactics by staking a claim to the political center.
"In her brunch speech, Landrieu defended her middle-ground positioning and outreach to conservative voters who tend to decide the Southern state's elections.
A poll released Monday only confirms the importance of the swing voters that Landrieu is doing her best to court. The incumbent and her Republican challenger are essentially tied, 43 percent to 44 percent, with blacks and independent votes constituting most of the undecided.
Americans seem to be giving up the duck blind and the deer rifle. Which is a major problem for the National Rifle Association.
Evan Osnos reports in the Chicago Tribune that a new government study reveals a "distinct decline" in the numbers of hunters in the US. And, more importantly, analysts suggest that younger hunters are failing to flock to the sport with the same enthusiasm common among previous generations. Some critics observe that "killing animals for sport simply has failed to attract significant interest beyond its core of aging white males in a country that is more diverse every day," writes Osnos.
Already, this shift is "reshaping political debate in traditionally gun-friendly states, draining the coffers of wildlife agencies that depend on license fees," and leading to increased battles between hunters and suburbanites, Osnos notes. If hunting recedes into the realm of marginality, the NRA will be compelled to both redefine its image and make-up for the loss of an important support-base. The gun industry's response so far has been an amped up drive to recruit younger, more diverse hunters, with efforts including hunting-themed toys and video games, outdoor workshops, and annual youth conventions.
China may finally be willing to pull AIDS from the policy closet, reversing decades of official denial. Only months after Beijing officials scoffed at UN predictions that the country could see 10 million infected in the not-so-distant future, the Chinese government has apparently decided that the threat is indeed dire, the Associated Press reports.
The UN report has been given ample attention by China's news media, and government ministries are openly devoting time to researching the problem and preventative measures.
"All week, newspapers have carried articles highlighting AIDS's spread, profiling children and others with the disease, encouraging sympathy and condemning discrimination. Dozens of articles have chronicled the travails of a woman from southern China who became the first person known to have HIV to be allowed to marry.
Is principled Democratic leadership finally rolling into Washington? Fans of Massachusetts Senator John Kerry certainly think so.
Adding to an already crowded pool of candidates, Kerry began raising money this week to fund an expected bid for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2004. Simultaneously, Kerry unleashed some of the most blunt and pointed criticism of the Bush administration heard from any high-ranking Democrat in months.
"Literally on almost every issue facing the country, I believe there is a better choice for this nation," Kerry declared on Meet the Press, specifically condemning Bush's handling of Iraq and the War on Terror, and suggesting an alternative to his $1.3 trillion tax cut in the form of a one-time "tax holiday" aimed at the lower and middle classes, David Brown writes for the Washington Post.
"Sen. Kerry is voicing ideas about domestic and foreign policy that need to be articulated much more loudly. These ideas are a sharp and welcome contrast to the philosophy and actions of the Bush administration.
[H]e has strongly, and we believe justly, criticized President Bush for damaging our nation's position in the world and the security of our people by engaging in pompous, bellicose rhetoric.
Kerry's home-state Berkshire Eagle, frustrated by his "fence-ride" on Iraq, offers a much more circumspect endorsement, fearing that Democrats will only sink further into a middle-of-the-road muddle were he to become a real contender.
"After speaking out against the White House's politically motivated rush to pick a fight with Saddam Hussein he voted to give the president carte blanche in attacking Iraq….
Even as Washington's authoritarian, oil-rich allies go, Kazakhstan seems increasingly in a class of its own.
Meanwhile, in a move to diversify its oil-dependent economy, Kazakhstan has announced its decision to become the world's first commercial importer of nuclear waste, Paul Brown reports in The Guardian. According to the Kazakh government, the country is so badly scarred by Soviet nuclear testing that the extra waste would hardly make a difference.
The environmental toll on Spain's Galician coastline is rising. Thousands of marine animals have died, a vital fishing industry has been devastated, and dozens of beaches have been contaminated by some of the 17,000 tones of heavy fuel oil which leaked from the crippled tanker Prestige before it sank into the Atlantic depths. Now, it seems the disaster may goad the European Commission into acting to prevent a repeat performance.
According to the BBC, the Commission is issuing a blacklist of 66 ships marked as too dangerous for European waters. It will also to ban all single-hulled oil tankers from transporting fuel throughout any European waterway. France — which was hit with a smaller spill in 1999 — and Spain have been particularly incensed by the recent accident and, together, have "agreed to check all ageing single-hulled vessels in their waters and force them out if necessary." Those two countries went ahead with the plan without waiting on an endorsement from the EU, following similar measures taken by Portugal and Italy.
The country at the top of the commission's shame list? Turkey. Of the 66 ships deemed too dangerous, 26 are registered in Turkey.
Others in Europe are taking more pirate-like measures to halt the passage of unfit vessels. A press-release from Greenpeace reports that 20-odd Greenpeace activists followed the Byzantio, a "rust bucket oil tanker" departing from Estonia under the cover of the cold night, and attempted to block the ship's progress. The Byzantio is among the ships cited by the EC as hazardous, and is owned by the same Russian company which commissioned the Prestige, the group reports.
While the Committee carefully phrased its Comment so as "not to politicize the issue," its edict carried the important implication — one siding with those who oppose water's privatization — that governments are responsible for keeping water accessible and free of contaminants, Inter Press Service News Agency reports.
Now, the Canadian Institute for Environmental Law and Policy is protesting the contracting out of Ontario's water utilities, arguing that water has been an issue of public trust since "the codification of law in the Roman Empire by Emperor Justinian, in the mid-sixth century," Oliver Moore reports in The Globe and Mail. In a new report, condemning the plan, the CIELP further claims that both the Canadian Constitution and the 1998 Ontario Environmental Bill of Rights 'put into doubt the lawful authority' of the province to privatize its citizens' water works and services, which remain governed by public trust.
"investigation reflects wider fears that South African "military advisers" controlled by offshore companies might assist rebel groups and prolong civil wars.
Contrary to popular wisdom, America's AIDS epidemic isn't running out of steam. It's merely shifted course.
New research suggests that the American South has become the disease's new epicenter, with HIV infection rates soaring in states like North Carolina and Florida, Kathryn Wexler reports in The St. Petersburg Times. African-Americans have been hit the hardest, Wexler writes, and most southern states, with underfunded HIV-prevention and treatment programs, are ill-equipped to handle the steep rise in infections.

Balancing rocks is a learned skill. Most anyone can learn it with a little practice. This brief lesson could get you started on a lifelong passion!
It's tempting to grab a few rocks and try to go three or four high right away, but expecting too much too soon is a sure way to frustration. It may be possible for a novice to get some rocks stacked up, but they will likely look flat and not very dramatic. It's much better to start with one rock, learning to balance it with some panache before trying two or more.
Choose a longish rock with rounded ends, and try to balance it on a boulder or other stable base rock. Find a depression, chip, or bubble in the base, not too small -- at this point try for something not much smaller than a half-inch wide, and deep enough so that your balancing rock does not "bottom out" in it. Nestle a rounded end into the depression with the rock roughly vertical.
Feel the direction in which it is trying to fall. Turn and twist, "walking" it around in the depression, always gently tilting opposite the direction it wants to fall while trying to keep the end nestled in. You will eventually feel certain positions in which the tendency to fall is less pronounced. Pursue these as you continue finer adjustments. Eventually your fingers will sense a point where the rock attains stability: As you loosen your hold on the rock, it will no longer be trying to fall over, but will almost imperceptibly seek to maintain its vertical orientation. Loosen your hold further, making any necessary final adjustments by feel, until you have let it go altogether. With luck, you can take a step back, shake the ache out of your arms, and admire your first balanced rock.
Stay with one rock until you have mastered it, balancing it again and again, trying a different contact on the base, the other end of the rock, a different rock. Practice using a contact that is on a slope. Try a smaller contact. Choose a depression contact on the underside of the rock you're balancing coupled with a smooth surface on the base rock.
Adding a second rock complicates things. If you can find a suitable contact on the second rock directly above the first rock's balance point, all you have to worry about is trying not to disturb the first rock as you place the second. If you can't, then you have to adjust the first rock to account for the shift in the center of gravity you caused by adding the second rock. It all gets easier with practice, but it pays to take one step at a time.
The technique described above is just one of many. You can also try stacking flat rocks to great heights, building cairns of rocks in a shape that has meaning for you, or building inuksuks, those human-like sculptures featured in the 2010 Winter Olympics. Rock balancing is a great way to unleash your creativity.

Simon Curtis On 'Woman in Gold', Being Locked in the Past
By Bernard Boo @BJ_Boo on April 1, 2015
Simon Curtis' Woman in Gold chronicles the true story of Jewish refugee Maria Altmann, who decades after fleeing Austria for America took on the Austrian government to recover a painting of her aunt Adele that had been stolen by Nazis during the war. It was a hard-fought legal battle, as the painting had become the country's veritable Mona Lisa, but with the help of American attorney Randy Schoenberg (the grandson of Jewish refugees), she ultimately found justice and inner peace, reclaiming her family's painting and reconnecting with her past life. We spoke to Curtis while he was in San Francisco promoting the film.
Above anything the film seems to be about how Maria struggles with being tethered to her past.
She was forced to leave her home. The scene where she says goodbye to her parents is the last time they're ever together. A bit of her is locked in that moment, and I think that's what propels the film: at the end of her life, she's the last one living who was part of that community.
Is that what fascinated you most about the true story?
I think it is. I love the fact that Maria's life is a story about the twentieth century in a way. Vienna at the beginning of the century was this amazing place, a melting pot of all these great ideas. She and the painting ended up in America at the end of the century. It's about America's policy of immigration, too, because this refugee who lived 50-60 years in California teams up with the grandson of another refugee, and they take on this campaign.
Is one of the biggest hurdles of promoting Woman in Gold getting the idea out of people's heads that it's a Holocaust movie?
I've never worked out how many minutes we spend in the past, but most of it is in the present. That was very important. There's a speech in the end where Randy says, "this is a moment where the past is asking something of the present." That tussle is in this. It's really a story about Randy and Maria in the present going on this voyage of discovery. He discovers the importance and value of his history, and she re-confronts her memories. That's the story of the film.
You consider yourself an actor's director. When you're helping Ryan and Helen, are you molding their performances as a unit, or do you do it separately.
It's both. But I was thrilled that they hadn't even met before. They got on immediately, and there was a real spark. They offered much more humor than I was expecting. I love hearing people laugh during the film; it's a great feeling.
Do you think actors are better at social interaction than the average person?
I don't think there's a rule for that. It's certainly not true that actors always like being the life and soul of the party. There's this thing of, "Notice me. Leave me alone. Notice me. Leave me alone." The more I work with actors, the more I realize that every actor has a different version of how you can help them. My job is to work that out. Some actors want you to talk about everything, some want to be left alone. You have to intuit that in a sense.
Do you prefer directing for theater?
No, actually I don't. I used to, but now I love doing a scene and then moving on. Theater is about having to recreate a scene time and time again.
In theater, performances build over time.
And they can get worse as well!
Do you feel a higher sense of urgency directing movies since you film a scene, and then it lives on forever?
There's definitely a sense of urgency, but again, if you flip that around it becomes a part of the creative process.
The scenes set in the past look amazing.
Ross Emery is a brilliant DP. Really, there were three time periods in the film: the Adele "golden years", the modern scenes, and the past, which was the end of an era.
It must be magical to walk through those period sets.
There's certainly something magical about filming 1938 Vienna in Vienna. It got to us all. It was really poignant and moving. When the Nazi vehicles come in or when the Jews are painting on the wall, we were recreating actual footage and photos we found from the time.
Was the ratio of past scenes to present scenes always the same?
I don't know. I always imagined it was about a fifth of the film in the past.
Was this your first time shooting an action sequence? It must have been fun.
Yes. Tatiana Maslany is extraordinary. She spent days running around Vienna. Days.
I think something people don't talk about enough when it comes to actors is how they act with their bodies as opposed to just their voice or their face. I think Helen is great at that.
I agree. It's interesting because some actors do the same thing every take, but she's always doing something slightly different. But when you cut it together, it feels really secure. It's a strange thing. Her instinct is fantastic, and she's always incredibly well-prepared. I was always excited to start filming, and I always trust her instincts.
I grew up in the '90s. I think that decade is far enough in the past now that we can sort of dress people up according to '90s fashion, and it's really weird.
I read somewhere that clothes in the '50s, '60s, '70s, and '80s were all so different, but we've pretty much been wearing the same clothes from the '90s onwards. "The GAP years." So it's sort of tricky to recreate the '90s. The cell phone Ryan has at the beginning was a big thing in those days.
The final almost dream sequence is something else.
We wanted something up-lifting. If you'd lost family, it would be lovely to see them one more time.

— Editors
Andrzej Romański
Place attachment and empathy as the key to the future are the topics of the upcoming YUFE Academy's lectures, which will take place at the NCU on May 11 and 25, 2022.
The YUFE Academy is a sequence of lectures, workshops and activities travelling along the YUFE campi on "Citizens' wellbeing", YUFE's second focus area, which will give interested students, staff and citizens a "feel" of YUFE. It is a platform aimed at strengthening European identity, raising awareness about social issues, providing solutions to global and local challenges, and making a true impact on Citizens' wellbeing.
All lectures and other activities together cultivate into a programme one could follow entirely or only some parts of. All these little building blocks together make the YUFE Academy, a beneficial gathering and learning experience for YUFE students, staff and citizens.

Lectures organized by NCU in May:
1. 'Place attachment in mobile, diverse, and urbanized societies'
Speaker: prof. dr hab. Maria Lewicka
Date and Time (CET): May 11, 2022, 12:00-13:30
Abstract: Place attachment is an emotional bond that connects people to places and contributes to social engagement and personal well-being. The concept of place attachment draws from two theoretical traditions: phenomenological (sense of place) and community psychology (community attachment), giving rise to different ways in which place attachment has been understood and to different methods of measurement. Original studies on place attachment were greatly influenced by the essentialist concept of place, in which an ideal relation between people and places was that of rootedness. Contemporary approaches, by contrast, take into account that modern places are not bounded entities with stable identities inhabited by traditional and homogeneous communities, but that they are open, socially diverse, and changing. This raises some questions concerning the complex relationships between mobility and social diversity, and place attachment, and it also affects the contents of measurement instruments. In her presentation, professor Lewicka will (1) show the evolution of the changing meaning of place and the way it affects the concept of place attachment; (2) show that place attachment can take different forms (traditional versus active), leading either to positive or to negative relations with mobility and attitudes towards diversity and change; (3) present measures that allow differentiation between different styles of place attachment; and (4) review survey results that show that certain essentialist meanings of place such as historical continuity are associated with active forms of place attachment and with positive attitudes towards change. Given the ongoing war in the neighboring Ukraine professor Lewicka will also address relevant data on place attachment as related to national identity, collected within the last 20 years in Ukraine.
2. 'Empathy - the key to the future'
Speaker: dr hab. Rafał Moczkodan, prof. of Nicolaus Copernicus University
Abstract: How do we get to know others? How do we perceive their sorrows, struggles they face every day? The most common way is through communication - we talk to them, listen to their stories, watch their videos. If their stories are vivid enough, empathy arises in us, we empathize, we sympathize. But we still don't experience what they do. The "True Feelings" project of the university spin-off company Idea Spin Sp. z o.o. goes further. Their goal is to enable a person to experience the pains and difficulties the elderly have to face every day. They don't want to tell you about them, they want you to feel them - with your body, eyes and ears. We believe that through this experience, on one hand you will better understand the elderly, and on the other hand when designing space, objects and devices, we will be able to better adapt them to the abilities of all users. The lecture will demonstrate why empathy towards the elderly is important, and will also show how the "senior suit" (senior experience suit).

Some of our students represented the academy by attending the annual Katharine of Aragon service at Peterborough Cathedral. It was a lovely service in commemoration of Katharine of Aragon.
Students from local schools helped to light four candles which represented faithfulness, love, peace and forgiveness. Everyone sang hymns and witnessed the wreath laying on Katharine of Aragon's grave. A selection of students also read passages at the service. Well done to two of our Year 7 students, Georgia and Gabriela, who bravely read the first passage at the service.
Everyone enjoyed the event and all our pupils represented the academy brilliantly.


a city in SE Hokkaido, Japan.
The next day I rode down to the coast to the bay of Akkeshi, about forty-two miles east of Kushiro.
The pits at Kushiro are nearly all rectangular, while those from Akkeshi to Nemuro are either rectangular or circular.
It is nearly half as large again as Kushiro, and has as many as nine hundred Japanese houses, besides sixty or seventy Ainu huts.
If Kushiro is not interesting to an artist, it is decidedly so from an archological point of view.
I left Shaubets early in the morning, with the intention of pushing on to Kushiro, thirty-one miles distant.


To arrange an aviation resume is different from other resumes. Sometimes it the resume format depends on the company which announce the job vacancy.
However, it is not totally different. For main parts of the body is relatively similar. In this case, it is better for you to understand one of the resume samples.
In example of aviation resume, you can search aviation resume samples or just take a look at the following sample.
Here the parts of the body consists of contact information, summary, unemployed periods, additional employment information, military history, college, trade or military school, license and certificate history, pilot supplement, and mechanic supplement.
In this case, hopefully the aviation resume sample is able to lead you to write a great resume.

Q: Docker images physical storage place Where can be images found in the filesystem? If I list all available images with docker images I see a size for every image. Are there single files with the given sizes in the filesystem or it is only estimated size of an image?

A: No, you cannot see individual image files on the file system.
They are stored in a large sparse image file in /var/lib/docker/devicemapper
