Q: GWT-RPC or RequestFactory for Authentication? I'm trying to build a login screen for my GWT app. When you click the login button, the credentials (username & password) need to be sent to the server for authentication. I'm wondering what server communication method is a best fit for this: GWT-RPC or RequestFactory.
My understanding is the RequestFactory is more efficient and recommended over GWT-RPC, but it's more of a data/entity/persistence framework than a request-response framework like RPC. So although many GWT afficionados recommend using RequestFactory over GWT-RPC, I don't think RequestFactory can be used for this scenario. After all, I don't want to CRUD a login request, I want to send credentials to a server, perform secured authentication, and return a response to the client.

*

*Am I correct? Is GWT-RPC my only option? or

*Can RequestFactory be used. If so, how (need to see a code example of both client and server code)?

A: You can use either, although RF is very used with EntityProxy, it also is thought to work with ValueProxy which mean transmit any type. RF facilitates as well execution of remote procedures passing Proxy types or primitive types.
Said that, I would use the technology used primarily in my app. If you are using RPC send your login/password in a RPC request, but if you are using RF use it, so as you dont mix things, although you can mix RF, RPC, and plain Ajax without problems.
What you have to be aware of, is that normally, in applications requiring authentication you have to use a filter to check whether the user has a valid session when requesting RPC or RF, so in the case of sending a request for login, you have to jump somehow the auth filter.
Related with security, both scenarios are the same, you have to do the request in an https enabled environment.
[EDIT]
This could be the interface for the client and the remote implementation of a RF call for login, as you can see it is really easy, you can add any method you need to these classes:
@Service(value = LoginUserService.class)
public interface LoginUserRequest extends RequestContext {
  Request<Boolean> login(String username, String password);
}

public class LoginUserService {
   // Using static you dont need to provide a Locator for the service
   static Boolean login(String username, String password) {
      return true;
   }
}

Related with auth filters for RF, you can take a look to this: GWT RequestFactory authentication functions

A: With both technology you can send such information to server side, but as already you pointed out the RequestFactory is dedicated to entity management. In your case is better to use GWT-RPC because in order to only send the credentials server side, and eventually retrieve the authentication result, you don't need the RequestFactory surplus (delta transmission, entity management).

A: For authentication, I would (almost) always use RequestBuilder, i.e. a simple HTTP(S!) POST. Why? Because this way you can implement a general authentication mechanism, that can not only be used by GWT apps. You gain the flexibility to add a simple HTML login page, single sign-on, standard server-side mechanisms (e.g. Spring security), etc.
A simple GWT re-login dialog is also no problem with RequestBuilder - to submit just username/password, GWT-RPC or RF is simply not necessary.

Sorry, Howard Schultz, you're a billionaire
February 13, 2019 February 13, 2019 NewsEditorHoward Schultz, News, opinions, Sorry, you're a billionaire (opinion) - CNN
(CNN)Howard Schultz, former Starbucks CEO, billionaire and possible presidential candidate, doesn't want to be called a billionaire. He wants you to call him a "person of means." "The moniker 'billionaire' now has become the catchphrase," said Schultz, who has an estimated net worth of $3.5 billion. "I would rephrase that and say that people of means have been able to leverage their wealth and their interest in ways that are unfair. And I think that speaks to the inequality, but it also speaks to the special interests that are paid…

Great price for this product. The shipping was fast, would recommend anyone to shop dog.com.
My dogs are bird dogs and I regularly have them out running and training in areas known to have ticks, yet my dogs stay totally tick free. My dogs are important to me and it's a great way to protect them from tick related illnesses!
Its nice to only have to buy two applications at a time.
My dog just wanted to thank you for the help with the fleas/bugs etc a yard in the country has living in it. We put the medicine on as soon as it arrived and my dog is as happy as can be that the bugs are staying away from her. Thanks again!
The vet highly recommended this brand.
I'm not sure if this will work on my dog to repel fleas but am grateful that I could get a 2 month supply to try it. My dog is allergic to fleas so it's important that the repellent factor work. If it does, I'll purchase a four month supply.
Good reviews, referral from a friend.
I've heard great things about this product. I applied it and both dogs had reactions it was awful. This product wasn't good for my dogs.
It seems to be the best at this time for my little ones.
i have used this product before and i like it better than frontline.
Frontline hasn't been working so I wanted to give Advantix a shot, since it has worked better for me in the past. None of the vets around here carry it, just Frontline. This site had the best price on Advantix, plus the option of a 2-month supply rather than 4 or 6 months and free shipping. Hopefully, this will take care of the fleas.
best price for product I've found anywhere!
ALTHOUGH MY DOG IS A SMALL BREED, HE IS VERY MUCH OVERWEIGHT, AND OVER FIFTEEN YEARS. THAT DETERMINED WHY I ONLY PURCHASE TWO MONTHS AT A TIME. DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH LONGER HE HAS, BUT I HOPE IT IS A LONG TIME!
this item works, and the price is right.
Works great and my two lab mixes have no side effects from it.
our dogs have all done well with this flea treatment...no adverse reactions and no fleas!
Woks to keep my dog save.
Been using this product for months now. It is a brand I trust and know for a fact that it works as advertised.
The flea medicine we have been using from our vet isn't working. I have tried this in the past and it seemed to work so I decided to return to it.
just need a couple to get through.
I have used this on my little beagle for years and it works!
best flea and tick meds for my three dogs always works!
It really works for fleas and ticks. Front line does not compare.
It's the best. I've tried several different flea and tick repellents and this one works the best.
is this ok if I have cats?
BEST ANSWER: Putting this product on your dog, as instructed, will not harm your cat. We have a cat in the house..and she did not have any problems with the treated dogs. Please be certain to never apply the K9 application to your cat as this will have a harmful effect.
Thanks Tom. I have an E gift card and I'm trying to use to buy the canine Advantix but it is not accepting the gift card code when I go to check out. Can you assist?
It is poisonous to cats. So if the cats have NO contact with the dogs, then it may be ok.
I have both, but they don't have contact with each other. They don't sleep with each other. Great product though.
Do Not Use ON Cats! But i use it on my dogs and have never had a problem with them being around our cats. Hope that helped.
If you buy the flea Meds for cats. Don't buy the dog Meds for your cats.
BEST ANSWER: Per the manufacturer it is safe on dogs and puppies 7 weeks and up, but you should consult your Veterinarian for pregnant or lactating mothers.
My dog weighs 176 pounds as of his 1 year rabies shot at the vet last month. I see that the highest weight is "over 55 lbs"
Will it work for my dogs or do I need something else?

Durban - The Basic Education Department has scrapped matric supplementary examinations.
From next year, a second national exam will be held over May/June.
The national decision has been supported by education stakeholders, saying it created access for more people to complete their matric. However, concern was raised about how this would affect university applications and admissions.
Education department spokesperson Elijah Mhlanga said the decision was taken for many reasons, including that all those who qualified to write supplementary exams did not register, and of those who did, more than half did not write the exams.
"This has resulted in losses of millions of rand to the department over the years. Extra costs incurred include having question papers and answer sheets prepared, venue hire, and hiring invigilators and markers. Regardless of whether people arrive, markers are paid according to the amount of registrations," he said.
Mhlanga said there was also a high failure rate, possibly because there was not enough time to prepare.
He said the second matric exam catered for other needs.
This decision was passed last year in Parliament. "In 2018, we want to concentrate on raising the matter more, to make the public aware," said Mhlanga.
Basil Manuel, chief executive of the National Professional Teachers' Organisation of SA (Naptosa), said the union supported the decision, but for different reasons.
"For us, it is about creating access for more people to complete their matric. For better or worse, our (education) system is geared more for an academic child.
"With supplementary exams you had to qualify to write the exam by failing. We wanted a system that would include more adult and part-time pupils who, for various circumstances, could not write their matric exams in one sitting. So they write exams in parts, over one or two years.
"Having a second sitting mid-year means we can afford people who've failed the opportunity to rewrite, and those who can only sit for some of their exams in December get an opportunity to sit for the rest in June - a six-month gap, as opposed to having to wait a year," said Manuel.
Professor Labby Ramrathan, director of the School of Education Studies at the University of KwaZulu-Natal, said the decision made sense for efficiency.
"Any exam process is quite extensive, so if we can incorporate those who are wanting to rewrite exams and others wanting to complete their (matric) qualification, then that makes more sense. But where university admissions only take place once a year, the student will have to wait a year before they can register.
"What we need to now establish is to what extent these kinds of students will be affected," Ramrathan said.
Vee Gani, South Durban chairperson of the KZN Parents' Association, said the department must be clear about the process to rewrite an exam.
He said university access was already an issue for many pupils whose supplementary results arrived too late.

'Gion' is a district of Kyoto, Japan, originally developed in the Middle Ages, in front of Yasaka Shrine. The district was built to accommodate the needs of travelers and visitors to the shrine. It eventually evolved to become one of the most exclusive and well-known geisha districts in all of Japan.
Inside the ochaya is a private and closed world where the evening's entertainment may include cocktails, conversation, and games as well as traditional Japanese music, singing and dancing. To this day,geiko and maiko (geisha in training) in full regalia can still be seen in the evenings as they move about through the streets of Gion to and from their various engagements at the ochaya.
There is a popular misconception that Gion was a red-light district. It was a geisha district, and as geisha are entertainers, not prostitutes, Gion is not, and never was, a red-light district. Shimabara was Kyoto's red-light district.
The geiko of Gion still maintain the annual dances, the most popular being the Miyako Odori, "Cherry Blossom Dances" or "Dances of the Old Capital", staged by the geisha of Gion Kōbu.

What degrees does the department offer?
Which degree should I seek?
Can I double major? If so, what fields of study complement economics?
What economics courses are offered in the summer?
How do I get into the Department?
Can I transfer to KU credit for economics courses taken at other universities?
What if my interests change after I come to KU?
To find out, you should ask yourself: am I interested in such public policy issues as unemployment, inflation, public health, and environmental quality? Do I possess the curiosity to tackle complex problems? Do I communicate my reasoning well?
The Department of Economics offers three undergraduate degrees: a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.), a Bachelor of Science (B.S.), and a Bachelor of General Studies (B.G.S.).
The degree you choose will depend upon your career plans. For most students, the B.A. degree is best. This degree requires four semesters of a foreign language, in addition to several courses in the natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities. The B.A. degree is the choice of students interested in a broad, well-rounded liberal arts education.
If you want more structured and extensive study in economics, you should choose the B.S. degree. This degree requires more economics, mathematics, and quantitative methods courses. This degree prepares you for advanced studies in many fields, including economics, law, and business, especially doctoral programs in economics.
When deciding between the B.A. and B.S., consider whether you want the depth in economics that the B.S. provides or the educational breadth offered by the B.A. degree.
The B.G.S. degree allows students to explore two fields of study without double majoring. This degree does not require four semesters of a foreign language.
Yes, double majoring is a popular option with many B.A and B.S. students. An economics degree complements such majors as English, political science, history, and math.
Your opportunities will be determined by your interests, your imagination, and your willingness to work. An undergraduate degree prepares you for entry-level jobs in business, government, and research institutes as economists, albeit junior economists.
You will learn to apply rigorous logic in order to analyze complex social problems. These skills will make you a valuable employee, regardless of where you work.
KU graduates find jobs with government agencies, including banks in the Federal Reserve system, large and small companies, and research centers.
The Department of Economics is in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences (CLAS). First-year CLAS students take English composition, math, and other courses that fulfill general education requirements. The CLAS chapter of the Undergraduate Catalog gives more detailed information.
How often are economics courses offered?
The Department offers core economics courses every semester. The Department offers many elective courses every Fall and Spring semesters, while offering some elective courses less frequently. A small number of elective courses are offered in the Summer.
The Department offers introductory economics, microeconomics, and macroeconomics are regularly during the summer session. Due to the small number of students enrolled in summer sessions, staffing usually permits only one other economics course.
Once you are enrolled at KU you can take economics courses. You become a major when you complete a major declaration form, which you can get from the Department's Undergraduate Advisor.
Can I transfer to KU, credit for economics courses taken at other Universities?
If you plan to take an economics course at another institution, check with the Department's Undergraduate Advisor regarding the transfer of credit hours to the University of Kansas. Do this before enrolling at another university.
Can I get a scholarship from the Department?
The Department issues scholarships to outstanding upper-division students based on academic achievement. See Awards and Scholarships page for more information.
If your interests shift, then you might change your major to mathematics or political science, or finish your undergraduate studies in the School of Business or the School of Engineering.
You have a lot of options because KU has hundreds of programs from which to choose. As a student in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, you will be taking courses in many subjects. They will eventually lead you toward a major and a career that best suits your interests and skills.


Research in the field of personal laws is required to be done in India due to its multicultural and religiously diverse society. As there is lack of uniformity in various matrimonial, succession and in other related issues under personal laws despite the directive enunciated under Article 44 of the Constitution of India regarding the endeavour of state to secure citizens, a uniform civil code, the need of such kind of in-depth research becomes a necessity, which is the one of the mandate of the centre.
As family is the bedrock and the important social unit of society, the preservation of harmony and peace in this social unit, in turn ensures overall societal well being and ultimately contributes to the national development. From time immemorial, marriage has been considered as sacred union and for Indians is not merely a sacrament, but is sacrosanct also. It provides an inbuilt system of checks and balances, roles and priorities for the couples to lead a happy, contented and balanced life and also an opportunity to nurture the coming generations with culture, sense and samskaras. With the changing social milieu, the significance and connotation of these fundamental societal institutions and other issues related to them have transformed drastically in changing times, affecting the social fabric, due to which newer challenges are emerging.
Issues relating to Matrimonial Matters viz. divorce, maintenance, custody of children, adoption and guardianship of children, reproductive rights of women, pre-nuptial agreements under different personal laws.
Issues relating to Employment/Workplace viz. sexual harassment, equal pay, reservations, maternity related issues, child labour etc.
Issues relating to Property Matters and Inheritance Rights viz. stridhan, dowry, devolution of ancestral property etc. under various personal laws.
Issues relating to Education of children, women and elderly/aged.
Issues relating to Nutrition and Health of children, women and elderly/aged.
Issues relating to Elderly people, their maintenance and well being.
Any other issue related to family and child welfare.
To conduct and promote research regarding the need, utility and feasibility of having Uniform Civil Code in India.
To analyse and critically examine various laws, policies, programmes and judicial pronouncements related to personal laws, to scientifically analyse and prove/disprove the need of Uniform Civil Code in India, in the present globalizing world.
To compile and publish all progressive judgements under different personal laws, especially related to women and children.
To have collaboration with Delhi commission for Women (DCW), National Commission for Women(NCW) and with Delhi Commission for Protection of Child Rights (DCPCR) and National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) and also to tie-up with Family Courts of Dwarka, New Delhi.
To invite scholars and academicians for dialogues on contemporary issues relating to children, women, family and personal laws and to organise conferences, seminars, debates and events relating to personal laws and social evils affecting children, women and family.
To liaise with institutions, professional NGOs, Governmental and Public authorities for conducting research and undertaking the projects relating to personal laws and also taking their help and assistance for creating awareness about the legal and human rights of women and children and for disseminating information about laws and legal avenues available for them.
To adopt a near-by village and to educate and spread legal awareness programmes so as to reach out to vulnerable sections of society, especially children and women in distress through offering emotional and legal support.
Any other assignment related to promotion of academic research and discourse on various personal laws.
Faculty members to be associated as associate members of the centre to support various activities.
In order to generate resources for the Centre, the research projects and activities are to be financed by various funding agencies. The proposal would be sent for this purpose to the funding agencies through the University and approval shall be taken accordingly.
Two Days 'Legal Awareness Program' on February 24-25, 2017.

The Beatles - Revolver (stereo) (UNI)
by Universal Music
Save $-30.00
Revolver is the seventh studio album by the English rock band the Beatles. Released on 5 August 1966, it was the Beatles' final recording project before their retirement as live performers, and marked a progression on their 1965 release Rubber Soul in terms of the group's readiness to experiment in the recording studio. The album's diverse sounds include tape loops and backwards recordings on the psychedelic "Tomorrow Never Knows", a classical string octet on "Eleanor Rigby", and Indian-music backing on "Love You To". The album was reduced to eleven songs by Capitol Records in North America, where three of its tracks instead appeared on the June 1966 release Yesterday and Today.

Q: Should I reorder principal components after rotation? I recently noticed that psych::principal reorders principal components on (automatic) rotation, according to their Eigenvalues (from highest to lowest).
(Recall that rotation matrix-multiplies the loadings, and so the order of their squared column sums (fka.  the Eigenvalues) can change, too).
Here's an example:
library(qmethod)
library(psych)
data("lipset")  # this dataset is used because it causes a re-ordering of components
Lipset <- cor(x = lipset[[1]], method = "pearson")  # must calculate cor matrix first

  # calculate unrotated loadings:
principal.unrotated <- principal(r = Lipset, nfactors = 4, rotate = "none")$loa
  # calculate varimax rotated loadings:
principal.varimax   <- principal(r = Lipset, nfactors = 4, rotate = "varimax")$loa
  # manually calculate varimax rotmat on unrotated loadings:
rot.mat.varimax     <- varimax(x = principal.unrotated)$rotmat

  # should manually reproduce the varimax rotation:
repr.varimax <- unclass(principal.unrotated) %*% rot.mat.varimax
repr.varimax

I get how and why this works.
My question is simply: is there a reason – other than convention or convenience – why this reordering would be necessary?
(This causes a bunch of problems for my use case in another function, and I'd like to avoid if that is statistically sound).
The way I see it, rotated principal components are no longer principal components anyway, so you might as well leave them in any order they come in.

A: As the author of the psych package I will try to explain what is going on and offer a solution.
First, as @ttnhpns  correctly points out, rotated principal components are no longer principal components, they are merely components.  @ttnhpns is also correct that we should not call the sums of squares of these rotated components "eigen values" but rather "after rotation Sums of squares". (Indeed, that is how they are labeled in the output.)  However, common usage, unfortunately, tends to call them eigen values.
Then, when rotating a solution, the order of the sums of squares of the rotated components will not necessarily be monotonically decreasing.  A conventional solution to this problem is to order by Sums of Squares and then just name the components RC1 ... RCn  and forget about it.  I prefer to keep the names of the unrotated components to highlight what rotation does.  (Which is to change the amount of importance of each component.)
This has been asked a lot and in fact has led to the final comment on the fa help page  (and probably should be added the principal help page as well):

A frequently asked question is why are the factor names of the rotated
  solution not in ascending order? That is, for example, if factoring
  the 25 items of the bfi, the factor names are MR2 MR3 MR5 MR1 MR4,
  rather than the seemingly more logical "MR1" "MR2" "MR3" "MR4" "MR5".
  This is for pedagogical reasons, in that factors as extracted are
  orthogonal and are in order of amount of variance accounted for. But
  when rotated (orthogonally) or transformed (obliquely) the simple
  structure solution does not preserve that order. The factor names are,
  of course, arbitrary, and are kept with the original names to show the
  effect of rotation/transformation.

To make the order of the rotated / transformed components match that of the unrotated, you can just reorder the components using the fa.organize function.
library(qmethod)
library(psych)
data("lipset")
lip   <- lipset$ldata
p4   <- principal(lip,4)               # the default is to rotate using varimax
p4.n <- principal(lip,4,rotate="none") # extract the unrotated components
v4   <- varimax(p4.n$loadings)         # r otate them using varimax
fa.congruence(p4,v4)
      PC1  PC2   PC3   PC4
PC2  0.14 1.00  0.03  0.06
PC1  1.00 0.14 -0.25  0.03
PC3 -0.25 0.03  1.00 -0.10
PC4  0.03 0.06 -0.10  1.00
p4.o <- fa.organize(p4,paste0("PC",1:4))
fa.congruence(v4,p4.o)  # just show the rotated and organized solutions

      PC1  PC2   PC3   PC4
PC1  1.00 0.14 -0.25  0.03
PC2  0.14 1.00  0.03  0.06
PC3 -0.25 0.03  1.00 -0.10
PC4  0.03 0.06 -0.10  1.00

If enough people request it, the next psych release (which won't be for several months) can include a do not reorder option, but I prefer the fa.reorganize option.

Television Shakespeare between the wars
I was delighted last week to receive a copy of the new Shakespeare Survey volume, no 69, published by Cambridge University Press. This is an annual collection of Shakespeare scholarship edited by Peter Holland – and for this themed issue about Shakespeare and Rome, also by Emma Smith. Nestled towards the back of a hefty volume is my article 'An Intimate and Intermedial Form: Early Television Shakespeare from the BBC, 1937-1939'..
The article is developed from a paper that I gave at a 2014 conference, organised by Kingston University and The Rose Theatre, focussed on David Garrick and Shakespeare, but I broadened it out from that discussion of a 1939 television production of Garrick's version of The Taming of the Shrew. As a taster of the essay, I reproduce its opening below – for the rest, can I recommend you access the volume through a library or via an online subscription, as the book is priced at an unaffordable level in the way that academic publications now seem fated to be.
In the twenty-seven months between February 1937 and April 1939 the fledgling BBC television service from Alexandra Palace broadcast more than twenty Shakespeare adaptations. The majority of these productions were short programmes featuring 'scenes from…' the plays, although there were also substantial adaptations of Othello (1937), Julius Caesar (1938), Twelfth Night and The Tempest (both 1939) as well as a presentation of David Garrick's 1754 version of The Taming of the Shrew, Katharine and Petruchio (1939).
There were other Shakespeare-related programmes as well, and the playwright himself appeared in three distinct historical dramas. In large part because no recordings exist of these transmissions (or of any British television Shakespeare before 1955), these 'lost' adaptations have received little scholarly attention. In this article I explore the traces that remain of these pre-war broadcasts, paying particular attention to Scenes from Cymbeline, Macbeth and Othello (all 1937) as well as Katharine and Petruchio.
Image: Margaretta Scott (Rosalind) and Ion Swinley (Orlando) in Robert Atkins' production of As You Like It for Scenes from Shakespeare, 1937.
The surviving records include scripts and production notes preserved in the BBC Written Archives Centre (WAC) at Caversham, listings and articles in Radio Times, and reviews and recollections. I also outline the the production environment and cultural context for interwar television Shakespeare, and detail some of the intermedial connections of these productions with the theatre, radio and the cinema of the 1930s.
Pre-war television Shakespeare in Britain features only minimally in the extensive literature focussed on small-screen adaptations of the plays. In his foundational A History of Shakespeare on Screen: A Century of Film and Television, Kenneth Rothwell gave brief details of certain pre-war productions and quoted from a small number of contemporary reviews. Critical analysis of these broadcasts, however, has been limited because all television drama until the mid-1950s was played live before electronic cameras, and in the medium's first decade recording technology had not been invented.
The first BBC television Shakespeare production of which even a partial archival copy is preserved is the 1955 studio production of Romeo and Juliet with Tony Britton and Virginia McKenna as the lovers. This was captured using the recently introduced technique of tele-recording, which involved filming the screen of an electronic monitor on which the live broadcast was being shown.
Tele-recordings exist of a number of BBC productions from the 1950s, including Othello (1955) directed by Tony Richardson, and The Life of Henry V (1957) with John Neville as the king. By the mid-1960s videotape recording was also being utilised widely, although some later broadcasts have also been lost, including the second half of the Royal Shakespeare Company's 1968 staging by John Barton of All's Well That Ends Well and The Tempest (1968, BBC) with Michael Redgrave as Prospero.
Writing about the first years of television drama, John Caughie has suggested that the lack of recordings 'makes the recovery of the early history of television form and style an archaeological, rather than a strictly historical procedure.' In his book The Intimate Screen: Early British Television Drama, Jason Jacobs developed just such an archaeological study, acknowledging that the WAC resources were central to his work.
'This written archive,' Jacobs detailed, 'provided programme and policy information—studio plans, camera scripts, memos, etc. – which was invaluable in the process of reconstructing the visual sense of early television drama [emphasis in original].' Jacobs noted that other published sources were also important, including reviews and criticism published in Radio Times, The Listener and BBC Quarterly.
Image: Production still of the BBC Television outside broadcast of Twelfth Night from Phoenix Theatre, London, 2 January 1939. On stage are Peggy Ashcroft (Viola), Esmond Knight (Orsino), William Devlin (Antonio) and others.
He was more sceptical about the use of stills, because 'the vast majority of them are production stills, presumably taken during camera rehearsals', but such images can nonetheless offer useful information as well as a resonant visual sense of the moment. Technical manuals, anecdotal and biographical sources and oral history interviews can also be valuable for the interrogation of this period of television drama.
These traces from the period reveal key concerns about the new medium, including the importance of 'live-ness' and a sense of 'intimacy'. 'The live immediacy of television is its defining characteristic,' Jacobs wrote of the ways in the medium was discussed in these years. Moreover, 'television is a medium of "intimacy"; it is the delivery of images to the private domestic sphere…, and the visual "closeness" described by the television close-up, that are the characteristic features of television.'
One aspect of this 'intimacy' is demonstrated by the way in which two or three actors in early television broadcasts are invariably bunched together in publicity photographs, grouped in such a way as to be visible most effectively to the studio cameras with their narrow fields of vision and minimal depth of focus. John Caughie has argued that 'the absence of expressive mise en scene and editing – the absence, in other words, of "style"' in this period 'was the logical aesthetic of a technology whose essence was conceived in terms of immediacy, relay and the "live".'
Pre-war television was also a profoundly intermedial form that was shaped in significant ways by radio, by the theatre and to an extent by the cinema of the time. The only models available to television producers were those of pre-existing forms of performance, and throughout the writings of both practitioners and commentators, early television is constantly compared with radio, theatre and cinema. Recalling his earliest BBC television broadcasts from Alexandra Palace, the service's programme planner Cecil Madden, who had been a theatre playwright, wrote,
The only technique I knew was of the stage, so I divided up the studio into three stages behind one another, separated by curtains. The three cameras were placed roughly in line but at different heights… We played an act on stage one, then the curtains parted and cameras moved on to stage two, and then again to stage three. It worked quite well, saved time, was continuous, since cameras could not cut as in films and as television can cut today. Only fades could take one camera to another.'
At the same time, like most television producers, Madden was dissatisfied by the reliance on stage techniques. 'I wanted to create something that would be pure television, owing nothing to stage or films,' he wrote in his memoirs.
For more, you'll have to take a look at the full article in Shakespeare Survey 69: Shakespeare and Rome, published by Cambridge University Press, 2016.

Genoa Township receives $202K grant for trail improvements Genoa Township received slightly more than $200,000 in grants from the Southeast Michigan Council of Governments to finish a sidewalk trail project that has been in development for several years. Check out this story on livingstondaily.com: https://www.livingstondaily.com/story/news/local/community/genoa-township/2019/06/26/genoa-township-grant-semcog-trail/1557401001/
Sean Bradley, Livingston Daily Published 7:30 a.m. ET June 26, 2019
Genoa Township has received more than $200,000 to help finish a sidewalk path along Grand River Avenue.
The Southeast Michigan Council of Governments awarded more than $10 million for Transportation Alternative Program projects in the region, including $201,242 to the township.
"Through SEMCOG and their interests, we're trying to create better ways of travel and more athletic ways of travel rather than putting more cars on the road," said Terry Croft, the township's SEMCOG representative and SEMCOG executive committee member.
The grant will help finish construction on the project, which began several years ago, he said. A date for construction of this portion - the project's seventh phase - has not been determined.
The entire 3,200-foot-long walking path starts from the north side of Grand River Avenue from Lake Chemung to Hughes Road in Genoa Township and connects Howell and Brighton Township, according to a resolution approved in February by the township board of commissioners.
The township needs a permit from Livingston County's Road Commission because the path goes through a right-of-way, said Deputy Director Steve Wasylk.
Funding will add to southeast Michigan's regional trail system and improve safety in
Transportation Alternative Program projects, according to a news release.
The township will pay$134,799 match. The entire project costs $336,041, according to the Michigan Department of Transportation.
Projects include new pathways and pathway enhancements, new trails and trail connections, protected bike lanes, pedestrian enhancements and projects encouraging students in kindergarten through eighth grade to walk or bike to school.
"Walking and biking improvements implement regional planning priorities, offering transportation choices, promoting safety for all road users, and improving quality of life in Southeast Michigan" said Kathleen Lomako, SEMCOG executive director, in the release.
Work on the projects are set to start in the 2020-21 fiscal year, which begins July 1, 2020.

← Is 3 The Same Upside-Down?
First of all decide whether handing out a copy of the poem or projecting the poem is necessary. If the poem is short and not terribly difficult then I opt not to do this, but longer poems that need 'unpacking' often benefit from being seen by the class. Also decide at which point you hand it out/project it. I prefer to have a class simply hear a poem at least once.
Read Either read it yourself or get the children to read it sharing a line for each person. But only do this is if the class is of an age to read it well. For most primary classes I choose to read as comprehension is so much more difficult if a poem is read badly. This isn't a 'reading poetry class' it's a 'philosophy-through-poetry' class and good comprehension is essential for this. When reading, and especially if you are working with younger groups, it can be helpful to provide gestures and/or actions as you read. Read meaningfully. For instance, 'An Owner's Complaint' by John Hegley should be read like it's a complaint!
Allow silent thinking time (usually only up to 30 seconds).
Read again. If comprehension is required then some time will need to be spent unpacking the poem. If this is necessary then before you read the poem for the second time ask them to put their hands up at the end if there are any words or phrases they do not understand. It's sometimes useful to have a dictionary ready for this. Note: when dealing with unknown words or difficult phrases read out the word or phrase in context (in other words, read the complete thought or image containing the word or phrase). Then ask if there is someone who thinks they know what the word or phrase might mean. It is always better if someone in the class can teach the class rather than you. Sometimes it is the case that they are only able to provide an approximate meaning; in that case you complete it. If you have to look it up then get someone in the class to take on this duty: a dictionary monitor. Hint: Either for the second or a third reading you could leave out certain key words for the class to fill in. For younger ones simply leave out the last word of each rhyming couplet but with older ones you may choose to leave out less obvious words, phrases or even whole lines.
Give them some talk time in pairs or threes. They will usually need no more than 1 minute of talk time.
Begin the enquiry. First of all, gain their attention. Then ask the question again. Let the enquiry run for a few minutes (usually 5-10) before returning to more talk time.
Continue moving between 6 (talk time) and 7 (enquiry) until a new question arises and in which case return to 5, then 6 and 7. Use your judgement and return to 9 (talk time) whenever the conversation demands or suggests that you do so.
When using poems to do philosophy I prefer to select poems that have one of these two options, an explicit question or an implicit question. If the poem has neither of these opportunities then it will be harder to do philosophy from, but that doesn't mean it's impossible or that the poem is no good for philosophising from. What it does mean is that it will require a bit more thought. For instance, the poem 'An Owner's Complaint' has neither an explicit nor an implicit question but I have found that the following question works really well for an enquiry: 'When is a dog not a dog?' and part of what makes it work is that it contains what appears to be a contradiction (see my previous post Why Poetry?) Note: this question also gives an excellent question structure for general use: 'When is an X not an X?' Some children resolve the contradiction, for example, like so: 'An 'X' is not an X when…' (resolved here by the use scare quotes). Many of the Thoughtings poems are like this: they have lots of questions in them. As a general rule, one difference between a Thoughting and non-Thoughting poem is that Thoughtings tend to only raise/ask questions rather than answer them. This makes them easier to find questions in but it is worth noting that a poem that 'has answers' has more to disagree with.
A lie is what's not.
Here, the best question to ask a class, I find, is: 'Do you agree with the poem/poet?' A good strategy for possible use here, especially if the children do not do so automatically, is to 'task' them to seek out a counter-example: 'Can anyone think of a situation where the truth is not 'what's what?' and 'Can anyone think of a situation where a lie is not 'what's not'?' and so on.
My shoes walk me; I don't walk them.
I don't write stuff down; that would be my pen.
And the deciding, desiring, and then the inquiring about it.
It's my heart, not me, that sometimes likes, hates and loves you.
And all this is quite a part from the other things I don't do.
So what do I do when all is said and done?
That's not what we are for!
'Til I realised I was in 'em.
Do you always control your actions?
If not, then what sorts of things control you?
Do you do the thinking or does your brain do the thinking?
Are you different from your brain?
What walks you if you were to sleep walk?
Can you ever be excused for your actions?
Can you ever blame someone or something else for your actions?
What do you think is meant when the poet of 'Shoes' answers that what's left for her to do is to 'remove [her] shoes and run'?
These Thoughtings would work well with 'It Wasn't Me!' and the 'Are You Free?' section in Thoughtings by Worley and Day.
Pete, this is a really useful step-by-step guide. One other thing you've said before is that memorising the poem and reciting it works particularly well to engage the class (helps with expression and gesture too). Memorising might sound ambitious but short poems of 5-10 lines are not so difficult and are often better for this kind of thing anyway. The ones I have memorised and used from Thoughtings are 'The Thought' and 'Without an M in the alphabet'. 'Without…' might not seem all that deep to begin with, but children under 12 really wrestle with the question of whether we could say words with an M sound if we didn't have an M in the alphabet.
Thanks for that Andy. I like to recite 'Impossibling' (from Thoughtings) as if I'm teaching, writing the sum up on the board as I go, so that I disguise the fact that it's a poem at all.


The data protection officer is an important person. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) might just require you to have a Data Protection Officer (DPO) if you do business in countries that are part of the Europe Union, or have other dealings with the personal information of European Union citizens. The GDPR is a relatively new law in the European Union, but has already raised plenty of questions. One such question is: do you need to appoint a Data Protection Officer? This is an important question and you need to answer it as part of your efforts to comply, if the law applies to you.
Controllers and processors of data, in terms of the GDPR, appoint a Data Protection Officer to help them comply with data protection law.
What does the Data Protection Officer job involve and what type of salary will it come with?
And apart from the GDPR requiring you to appoint them, what else does it say you have to do in order to comply?
What are the consequences of not appointing one when the GDPR requires you to do so?
The GDPR does NOT require every controller and processor to appoint a Data Protection Officer.
Understand the role and whether or not the GDPR requires you to appoint one by asking us your questions.
Empower yourself with practical knowledge on the GDPR and its potential impact on your organisation by attending one of our GDPR workshops.
Brief the head of your organisation (or body) on the role by asking us to draft a written brief for you or asking us to present to them for you.
Find the right person to perform the role by asking us to provide you with a Job Specification or Description.
Appoint the person correctly and ensure the person knows what their responsibilities are by asking us to draft a letter of appointment.

4 Times People Who Knew The BTS Members Personally Revealed Something No One Knew About Their Personalities
Number 1 is extremely heartwarming!
There have been plenty of moments when the BTS members got praised by celebrities for their kind personalities.
There have also been times when people who personally knew the members before their debut shared what the BTS members' true personalities were like. Here's a list of a few of these moments.
1. Former Big Hit Entertainment trainee talking about Suga
Jihoon, who is also known as Brightoon on his YouTube channel Brightoon TV, shared a story on how Suga helped him when he was a trainee at Big Hit Entertainment. Jihoon shared that he once felt dizzy and nauseous in the middle of the night and that he threw up multiple times throughout the night.
Suga ended up checking on him during the night and realized that Jihoon needed to go to the hospital. Suga then got a taxi and took Jihoon to the hospital.
Jihoon ended up waking up the next morning and was in for a surprise when he saw that Suga had stayed with him overnight. Not only that, but Suga also filled out the paperwork for Jihoon to get the IV he needed, and paid for Jihoon's hospital fees!
To this day, Jihoon is thankful to Suga.
2. Jimin's high school friend talking about Jimin's popularity
In 2019, Kim Daehoon, a friend of Jimin's and a dance instructor, talked about what Jimin was like during high school. Kim Daehoon shared that Jimin was popular during high school due to his kind personality.
Jimin thought he was a quiet person, but he turned out to be an active friend.
Jimin had a nice personality, so he quickly adjusted to school.
My friends at school liked Jimin too.
— Kim Daehoon
Kim Daehoon also spoke about Jimin remaining humble and kind-hearted despite his incredible popularity.
I realised that not everyone will change after they become successful, people who are kind-hearted will still be very kind.
3. Oh My Girl's Seunghee talking about V and Jimin
Seunghee has been friends with V and Jimin since high school, as they were classmates. During an episode of Happy Together, she shared that the two were addicted to practicing when they were younger.
I still remember Jimin was all about practicing. That's all he knew. He'd spend the night up practicing and come to school half-dead like a zombie.
— Seunghee
He (V) would start dancing in the subway station, checking his moves in the reflection of the screen doors. I used to watch him do that… but he really did surprise me.
Seunghee also shared that they've maintained their friendship to this day, and are extremely supportive of each other. Once during MAMA, Seunghee was feeling nervous about a performance. V and Jimin ended up giving her some encouraging words and told Seunghee that she did a great job!
4. Suga's high school teacher on what Suga was like
In 2019, Daily News visited Suga's old high school and had an interview with a few people who knew Suga personally.
One person interviewed was Kwon Jae Hwan, Suga's former high school teacher.
| 매일신문/YouTube
Kwon Jae Hwan shared that Suga was a model student and that he never violated the school rules.
Yoongi [Suga's real name] never violated any school rules. Since it was the old era and it was a boy's private school, the dress code and hair rules were very strict.
But he has never violated [the rules], giving excuses like he's doing music, or any such thing. There was no place to learn music in Chilgok [Suga's hometown]. So until he went to the music academy in the second semester, he studied very hard in the classroom as not to disturb other students.
He would stay awake until dawn to study composition. But he never violated rules with excuses like he was doing music and things like that.
—Kwon Jae Hwan

How I was raped by cultist – FUOYE undergraduate
Lagos State Special Offences Court
An undergraduate of the Federal University, Oye Ekiti, on Monday narrated to a Lagos State Special Offences Court how a suspected cultist, Tayo Bakare, allegedly raped her.
Bakare is standing trial on eight counts bordering on conspiracy to commit robbery, robbery, deprivation of liberty and rape.
The 19-year-old victim alleged that Bakare, on August 27, 2017, in the Ikotun area of Lagos, ordered her to remove her clothes, took her nude pictures with her phone and had forceful sexual intercourse with her.
The 300-level student, while being led in evidence by the prosecutor K. A. Momoh-Ayokambi, stated that 24-year-old Bakare pretended as a family friend and lured her to a hotel, where he allegedly raped her, adding that the defendant threatened to kill her.
She said, "I don't know the defendant before the incident and prior to that day, I had planned hanging out with a family friend, one Miss Faith. But I had no idea that her phone had been stolen and that the person, who stole the phone, was the one chatting with me on WhatsApp.
"So, we fixed a date and place to meet. I came to Oshodi to meet her but it was the defendant I met holding Faith's phone. And he said Faith asked him to come and pick me and I followed him and he took me to a hotel in Ikotun.
"He said my friend was inside the room and we went inside. When we got in, I sat on the bed and he then told me that everything was a setup; that my friend set me up for him.
"He thereafter locked the door and told me that he was a cultist and a member of the Badoo group in Lagos. He then ordered me to bring out all the items in my bag and placed them on the bed. I hurriedly obeyed. He asked me to give him money and I begged him not to harm me but to allow me call someone to transfer money to me to give him. I had my two ATM cards and N2,000 cash with me.
"He began threatening to kill me if I didn't give him money. He, thereafter, ordered me to take off my clothes and face the wall. He also ordered me to unlock my phone, which I did, and he took nude pictures of me. And right after, he sexually abused me.

"When he finished, he told me to go to the toilet and wash myself so that I wouldn't get pregnant. But while I was in the toilet, he locked me inside and ran away with my items. He took away my two phones — an Infinix and a Samsung — and N2,000, but left my bag and clothes on the bed.
"I had to call for help and someone, who was passing by the room, unlocked the door. I had to explain what happened to a woman I met in the hotel and she assisted me with N500 to transport me to my house."
She added that she narrated the incident to her parents, who reported at the Ikotun Police Station, and the police arrested her friend for allegedly setting her up.
The victim, however, told the court that she later found out that her friend, Faith, was not an accomplice but rather a victim of Bakare.
She added, "The defendant robbed Faith and used her phone to chat me up. The defendant was, however, caught when he used my own phone to send a message to our family group chat. When I saw it, I immediately asked my close friend, Joan Mary, to privately chat with him and play along.
"He was responding to Mary's chats using my phone. He later asked Mary to come and meet him at the Sankoll Gardens, Idimu. That was when we alerted the police and the defendant came out around 10.30pm to meet my friend. But unknown to him, police officers, who pretended to be customers, were waiting for him in the hotel.
"When he met my friend, he tried to force her into crossing the road in order to take a bus to another location. But my friend began screaming and he took to his heels. He removed his shirt and ran off but was caught by the police and taken to the Ikotun Police Station, where he confessed.

"When he was searched, the officers found only one of my phones on him and he told them that he sold the other one immediately after he robbed me."
The presiding judge, Justice Abiola Soladoye, adjourned the proceedings till November 19 for the continuation of trial.

A quick report on the House Appropriations Committee. It was not really that dramatic, unlike many of the other committees that we have sat in on. The committee passed S.88 by a vote of 7-3. Reps who voted no were: Helm, Winters, Acinapura. Steve Maier defended the bill, with representative George Till, D-Bolton, there as well and Robin Lunge, legislative council. They did add an amendment, which carried the entire committee, an amendment about funding which I will write more of later. It should be going up to the floor later on this week, perhaps Thursday or Friday. We'll see.
S.88 passed the House Committee on Healthcare today! They will be taking it up today and tomorrow in House Appropriations and we expect it to be voted by the full House of Representatives next week. The Committee decided to add their entire committee bill to S.88, which means that they added a number of their cost-containment other provisions. Still intact is the core part of the Senate version of S.88 which would design implementation plans for a system that truly establishes healthcare for all by 2012. We need to keep up the momentum.
We understand that the there should be a vote on the Senate Floor this week, possibly Wednesday. We have just now received the final mark ups on the bill that passed (see attached and below). Stay tuned for more details as we get them (the Policy Committee will be putting up an analysis at www.workerscenter.org/newS.88.4.2.10 and you cna see our break down of the previously version here: http://www.workerscenter.org/newS.88 ).
Should VT Pursue Single-Payer based on Federal Reform?
This week that is the question being asked by Vermont's joint legislative healthcare committees. We say Yes! The current version of S.88 calls for implementation in 2012 of a real universal healthcare system (see our breakdown of the bill here: http://www.workerscenter.org/newS.88 ). The new federal health bill will set up healthcare insurance state exchanges in 2014 which could mess this up. But the new bill does establish the right of state's to make their own universal single-payer healthcare system in 2017. But Sen.

Chely Wright rose to fame as a commercial country singer in the 90's, and has since released eight studio albums and charted more than 15 singles on the Billboard charts. The Academy of Country Music named Wright "Top New Female Vocalist of 1995." Her first hit came in 1997 with "Shut Up and Drive" followed two years later by her first number one single, "Single White Female," and in 2005 "The Bumper of My S.U.V." In 2010, Chely Wright released her eighth album, Lifted Off the Ground produced by Rodney Crowell, revealing a dramatic artistic transformation and emerging as a singer songwriter of the first order. Chely made history by being the first country music star to publicly come out as gay, which she revealed in her 2010 memoir entitled "Like Me." That same year Wright founded The LIKEME® Organization, a nonprofit organization that provides assistance, resources and education to LGBT individuals and their family & friends, as well as founding The LIKEME® Lighthouse, an education and community center for gay youth in Chely's hometown of Kansas City, MO.

Remembering Prof. Aurelius Kyrham "Graham" Nongkynrih
Kyrham was a professor of sociology at my alma mater, North Eastern Hill University (NEHU). The department was his second home. He had joined it as a young student in the 1980s, learning the mysteries, myths and methods of the discipline from an array of energetic scholars like Virginius Xaxa, M.N. Karna, A.C. Sinha, Nikhilesh Kumar and others. For him, the department epitomised cosmopolitanism and the free exchange of ideas among equals. He was enthusiastic about every pedagogic aspect that it undertook, first while it was located in the Nongthymmai campus and then when it moved to Umshing Mawkynroh where NEHU is currently located. The department reciprocated this affection and respect, awarding him with a PhD in 1990 and then inducting him as a member of the faculty soon after.

For many children, summer camp is the highlight of their vacation, when they can be themselves, see old friends, and have big adventures. Children with autism and their parents may be fearful of failure in all three areas, and thus hesitate to sign up for camp. However, if you choose a camp that understands autism and knows how to work with your child, camp can be a valuable and fun experience, complete with friends, independence and lasting happy memories.
Finding the right summer camp for your child with autism begins with knowing what that camp must have. Good choices may be autism-specific or a general camp with a well-informed and intentional plan to inclusion of all. Autism summer camps truly understand autism, through research, training, and experience. They know how to help their campers feel comfortable in a new environment, and they meet their campers where they are developmentally. A good camp for your child lives out its philosophy of accepting everyone as they are, and then encouraging growth from there. A strong community is more important than competition or even mastery of activity skills. You want a camp that both understands autism and helps all children feel important and accepted.
With the confidence that comes from acceptance, children are more willing to try new things, and also more quickly feel "at home". A huge benefit to choosing a camp specifically for children with autism is that they also can feel "normal" when in the midst of others with similar traits. In these camps, almost everyone needs extra time to process information and respond (due to the common issue of slow processing speed). Many campers will also struggle with fine and gross motor skills, and this is less of a problem when playing a game or doing crafts if everyone is in the same boat.
When searching for an autism summer camp for your child, you must decide first what type of experience you are seeking. Do you want a respite/vacation, where the emphasis is on fun and relaxation only, or a growth experience, in which they are encouraged to work toward goals, try new things and step out of their comfort zone at times? Both are available, so think ahead about your goals.
As camps to describe their campers and their programs. Do they seem to know your child? Does it sound like an environment into which your child will fit and feel comfortable? Do they talk about structure and accommodations that are appropriate for individuals with autism? What is their philosophy? What kinds of training do their staff receive, and who is giving it? What is the background of the camp leadership? They do not need PhDs to provide a fantastic, safe and appropriate camp for your child, but they should have experience working with children on the autism spectrum .
In your search, keep in mind that the right fit is more important than distance from home. If you are able to travel, do not eliminate a camp just because it is several states away. There are not a lot of camps who specialize in autism, and a good experience for your child may require travel. If you are able, go visit the camp before you register, even if you can only meet a couple of the staff. Ask for parent references. Listen to your intuition (although try to keep your anxiety about this big step from overtaking the process).
Talisman Summer Camp has been serving young people with autism and similar needs for nearly 40 years.Our developmentally-focused programs are based on current best practices and our own years of experience with our campers. We are committed to providing high-quality meaningful experiences and sending everyone home with happy memories and tools for success. We welcome inquiries and visits as you work to find the right summer camp for your child with autism.
