This latest recital album by 'the thinking person's virtuoso: an extraordinary pianist' (The New York Times) takes the listener on a journey through that most intense and absorbing of nineteenth-century obsessions, the night. The Romantic night was one without sleep, where experiences are mutated through darkness. Stephen Hough's thoughtful programming creates a new aural sphere for some of the most celebrated piano works in the repertoire.
Hough begins with Schumann's troubled, reeling 'In der Nacht' from Fantasiestücke, and continues with Beethoven's 'Moonlight' Sonata and Chopin's two Op.27 Nocturnes.
With Schumann's Carnaval we eavesdrop on one of the most vibrant parties in the nineteenth-century piano literature, with its panoply of brilliantly etched character sketches depicting both real people - such as Chopin and Paganini - and imaginary ones. Each movement is vividly contrasted - there are moments of unbridled ecstasy, elegant poise and elusive subtlety.

Q: using a function from Page Object in Protractor I have this code in my afterEach block that works to console log the page source for a failed spec. But I want to move it to another class instead.
    afterEach(function () {

    const state = this.currentTest.state;
    if (state === 'failed') {
        browser.driver.getPageSource().then(function (res) {
            console.log(res);
        });
    }
});

but when i try to use the following in another class, i get 'Property 'currentTest' does not exist on type 'HelperClass'. How do i declare the currentTest property?
import { browser, } from 'protractor';
export class HelperClass {

    public getSource() {

        const state = this.currentTest.state;
        if (state === 'failed') {
            browser.driver.getPageSource().then(function (res) {
                console.log(res);
            });
        }
    }
}

A: Try like below
test file:
const helper = new HelperClass(); // create object for class
  afterEach(async ()=> {
    const state = this.currentTest.state;
    await helper.getSource(state);
});

Class File
import { browser, } from 'protractor';
export class HelperClass {

    public getSource(state:any) {

        if (state === 'failed') {
            browser.driver.getPageSource().then(function (res) {
                console.log(res);
            });
        }
    }
}

Here we are sending the State from your test file.
Hope it helps you

Q: Android's AsyncTask: multiple params, returning values, waiting I have been looking at how to implement Android's AsyncTask class for some time now. Basically, I want it to do the classic scenario: simply animate an indefinite loading wheel while I make a network call. However, in practice I'm having some issues getting this to work the way I want.
I have code that looks like this currently: (before my desired AsyncTask implementation)
 String result = timeConsumingNetworkCall(String someData, ArrayList stuff1);
 doStuff(result);

 String result = timeConsumingNetworkCall(String otherData, ArrayList stuff2);
 doOtherStuff(result);

 String result = timeConsumingNetworkCall(String dataAgain, ArrayList stuff3);
 doYetEvenMore(result);

I want to be able to reuse my AsyncTask call to pass data to it, it makes a network call, and then returns me data that I can then process as I wish, like I do above.
Now - this works perfect, except of course the app appears to "hang" with no loading. In comes  AsyncTask. Maybe I just don't quite "get it" yet - but how do I return data OUTSIDE of the AsyncTask so that doStuffToUI() etc can use it?
Ultimately, I'd like it if I could use the AsyncTask similar to this:
String result = new PostToFile("function_name", keysAndValues).execute().getResult();
doStuff(result); // this shouldn't execute until the AsyncTask is done

Am I going about this right? Is this how it should be/can be done? Here's my AsyncTask class below, shortened for brevity.
private class PostToFile extends AsyncTask<PostToFile, Void, Void>{
    private String functionName;
    private ArrayList<NameValuePair> postKeyValuePairs;
    private String result = "";

    public PostToFile(String function, ArrayList<NameValuePair> keyValuePairs){
        functionName= function;
        postKeyValuePairs = keyValuePairs;
    }

    @Override
    protected void onPreExecute() {
        progressDialog = ProgressDialog.show(BaseActivity.getInstance(), "Loading", "Please wait...", true, false);
    }

    @Override
    protected Void doInBackground(PostToFile... params) {
        ArrayList<NameValuePair> nameValuePairs = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
        nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair(FUNCTION_KEYWORD, functionName));
        for (int i = 0; i < postKeyValuePairs.size(); i++)            {
            nameValuePairs.add(postKeyValuePairs.get(i));
        }

        try{
            // ***do the POST magic.***
            result = response.toString();
        }
        catch (Exception e){
             // clean up my mess
        }

        return null;
    }

    private String getResult(){
        return result; // can I use this somehow???
    }

    @Override
    protected void onPostExecute(Void result) {
        progressDialog.dismiss();
    }
 }

Any help is appreciated, thanks a lot in advance. I'm happy to clarify if needed.

A:
doStuff(result); this shouldn't execute until the AsyncTask is done

then you will need to use  AsyncTask.get() which make  Waits if necessary for the computation to complete, and then retrieves its result.
because calling of AsyncTask.get() freeze main UI thread until  doInBackground execution is not complete then u will need to use Thread to avoid freezing of UI and runOnUiThread for updating Ui elements after AsyncTask execution complete.
Example :-
public void  ThreaddoStuff(){

 Thread th=new Thread(){
    @Override
    public void run(){
      // start AsyncTask exection here
      String result = new PostToFile("function_name",
                      keysAndValues).execute().get().getResult();

     // now call doStuff by passing result
     doStuff(result);
    }
  };
th.start();
}

A: Make a reusable async task with default onPostExecute implementation and then override default implementation for every call:
public static class PostToFile extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, String> {
        private String functionName;
        private ArrayList<NameValuePair> postKeyValuePairs;
        private String result = "";

        public PostToFile(String function, ArrayList<NameValuePair> keyValuePairs){
            functionName= function;
            postKeyValuePairs = keyValuePairs;
        }

        @Override
        protected void onPreExecute() {
            super.onPreExecute();
            // show progress bar
        }

        @Override
        protected String doInBackground(Void... arg0) {
            // make request and get the result
            return null; // return result
        }

        @Override
        protected void onCancelled(String result) {
            super.onCancelled(result);
            // hide progress bar
        }

        @Override
        protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
            super.onPostExecute(result);
            // hide progress bar
        }
    }

Execute your async task:
new PostToFile(function, keyValuePairs) {

        @Override
        protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
            super.onPostExecute(result); // this will hide a progress bar

            doStuff(result);
        }
}.execute();

new PostToFile(otherFunction, otherKeyValuePairs) {

        @Override
        protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
            super.onPostExecute(result); // this will hide a progress bar

            doOtherStuff(result);
        }
}.execute();

Q: Reducing a 4th order differential equation to a second order one I have a fourth order linear differential equation which I am trying to solve:
$$
r^3 ( 2 + r^2 ) [r^2 f(r)]'''' + 4 r^2 ( 1 + r^2 ) [r^2 f(r)]''' - r ( 10 + 7 r^2 ) [r^2 f(r)]''  + ( 10 - r^2 ) [r^2 f(r)]' = P(r) .
$$
$P(r)$ is a source term whose exact form I already know. I also know that the general solution to this equation is of the form
\begin{align}
f(r) &= {\tilde f}(r) + c_1 ( 2 + r^2 )  + \frac{c_2}{r^2}  + c_3 r^{\sqrt{5}-1} \,_2F_1\bigg( \frac{-3+\sqrt{5}}{2} , \frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2} , 1 + \sqrt{5} ; - \frac{r^2}{2} \bigg)\\
&\qquad \qquad  + c_4 r^{-\sqrt{5}-1} \,_2F_1\bigg( \frac{-3-\sqrt{5}}{2} , \frac{1-\sqrt{5}}{2} , 1 - \sqrt{5} ; - \frac{r^2}{2} \bigg) .
\end{align}
where ${\tilde f}(r)$ is a particular solution to the equation.
Now, due to other considerations, I am only interested in solutions which have a well-defined Laurent expansion near $r=0$. In particular, this implies that I am not interested in the hypergeometric functions above. Suppose I have chosen my particular solution ${\tilde f}(r)$ so that it has a Laurent expansion at $r=0$, then the solution that I am interested in has the form
\begin{align}
f(r) &= {\tilde f}(r) + c_1 ( 2 + r^2 )  + \frac{c_2}{r^2}.
\end{align}
The differential equation for this type of solution is
$$
\left[ \frac{[ r^2 f(r) ]'}{r(1+r^2)}  \right]' = P_1(r)
$$
Would it be possible to determine the source $P_1(r)$ directly from $P(r)$?


Across the gamut of media formats – from television to the Internet to print – beauty product advertising bombards consumers on a daily basis. Each ad seeks to persuade potential buyers of the product's value, or even its necessity for the buyer's well-being and self-image. These techniques, sometimes manipulative in nature, affect more than the consumer's wallet. It can effect their health. In my industry if a product is not selling to the so-called professionals they will repackage the product. And sell under a new gimmick. Here is a lawsuit placed in a Florida court against Loreal. Read the print very closely. I just love to see when a customer takes a major beauty/cosmetic bully to court. Especially if it is Loreal!
Morelli Ratner PC, together with the Alters Law Firm, filed a class action last week against L'Oreal and Lancôme for defrauding consumers. The case is Nino v. L'Oreal USA, Inc. et al, and was filed in federal court, in the Southern District of Florida. The complaint alleges that the Defendants have advertised their "anti-aging" creams as having been scientifically tested, making claims and promising results to consumers that the Defendants know to be unfounded. Earlier this month, the Food and Drug Administration sent Lancôme a formal warning letter about the misleading advertising. The complaint alleges that L'Oreal has made millions of dollars by knowlingly and willfully misleading consumers. Plaintiff Costanza Nino, a resident of Florida, is bringing the suit on behalf of a proposed nationwide class of all persons who purchased Lancôme's "Anti-Aging" products within the applicable statutory limitations period, and a Subclass of Florida residents.

The Nigerian Air Force has acquired at least two second hand Dassault/Dornier Alpha Jet trainer and light attack aircraft as it continues to expand its aerial fleet, reports today, March 26, Africa-focused website defenceWeb.
One of the jets was seen passing through the United Kingdom on 25 March, having travelled from the United States via Iceland. It then continued to Palma de Mallorca, Spain, on its way to Nigeria, reports Air Forces Daily.
It was flown by Air USA Inc, which specialises in military air combat readiness training and flies Hawks, Alpha Jets, MiG-29s and L-59 Super Albatroses. The Alpha Jet seen transiting the UK was cancelled from the United States register on 19 March together with a second Alpha Jet, both originally flown by the Luftwaffe before operating in the States.
The delivery status of the second aircraft is unclear. It is also not clear if the two Alpha Jets are attrition replacements or part of a larger batch being acquired by the Nigerian Air Force (NAF).
Air USA Alpha Jets were converted for night vision goggle (NVG) operations, according to the company, and flight certified for operational use of TER, IMER and SUU-20 bomb racks.
Nigerian Alpha Jets have been used in the ground attack role to strike Boko Haram targets and a couple have been lost on operations: one crashed in Niger, killing two pilots, in May 2013 while another went down in September last year.
The NAF has recently reactivated a number of its Alpha Jets. A total of 24 were acquired in the 1980s but several have been lost in crashes. Apparently 11 have been made flyable again.
In addition to refurbishing some of its existing aircraft such as the Alpha Jets, L-39s, Super Pumas and C-130s, the NAF is also acquiring additional platforms. For instance, it recently inducted Gazelle helicopters, which are believed to have entered service in February this year.
Three Beechcraft King Air 350i light transport aircraft were delivered in August last year, together with two AgustaWestland AW101 VIP transport helicopters. The NAF is also acquiring six Mi-35M attack helicopters and 12 armed Mi-171Sh helicopters, which were ordered in August 2014.

The software development kit for Android 3.0 includes widget creation, new types of update notification, a systemwide clipboard, and drag-and-drop.
Developers looking to create apps for the newest Honeycomb version of Android can now grab the final SDK from Google.
The search giant released the software development kit for Android 3.0 yesterday, offering several new features that developers can incorporate into their mobile apps with the goal of publishing them directly to Google's Android Market. This final version follows the interim one that Google rolled out last month.
Honeycomb is the first Android OS designed specifically to take advantage of tablets and their larger-than-smartphone displays. As such, much of the functionality offered in the SDK can help developers tap into the new user interface.
Using the SDK, developers can create widgets that appear on the home screen and take advantage of Honeycomb's holographic look. The SDK offers several types of widgets, including search boxes, a calendar, a pop-up menu, a date/time picker, and even a 3D stack which people can flip through for different content.
Developers can also now create "richer" types of notifications that include a title, large and small icons, and other properties to send updates to users, Google said. They can also tap into a new systemwide clipboard that will let people copy and paste content from one app to another. Another feature allows developers to add drag-and-drop functionality to help people better manage their files.
And with Google eyeing the enterprise market, the final SDK can help those who develop device administrator apps incorporate stronger policies for data encryption and passwords.
Beyond the core SDK, Google has enhanced its SDK Tools and ADT Plugin for Eclipse, which developers can also use to create apps.
Designed to work with the SDK, the SDK Tools help developers build and debug their apps. Updates to the latest ADT Plugin include a new palette with access to different categories, better ways to zoom in and out of the screen, and more accurate rendering so developers can more easily see how their apps will look and fit on the screen space available.
As the first tablet sporting the new Honeycomb OS, the Motorola Xoom is set to reach consumers tomorrow, starting at $600 with a two-contract at Verizon. Samsung is also readying a Honeycomb-driven 10.1-inch version of its Galaxy Tab tablet due to reach Europe and Asia this spring.

Rarest Chevy Camaro in the World is 3 Inches Long
Not this one....Getty Images
If you watch Pawn Stars on the History Channel at all, you've seen Joel Magee. He's one of their experts they call in to help put a value on collectible items. His specialty is toys. Recently he found and bought one of the rarest Hot Wheels cars around.
Joel now owns an early prototype Hot Wheels Camaro. According to Carscoops.com, this particular Camaro was painted with white enamel, possibly to show any manufacturing defects. It's thought the one Joel found is the only one of it's kind and because of that it's been estimated to be worth $100,000.
Magee says it's one of the three rarest Hot Wheels cars: "The Beach Bomb and the Olds 442 are the only other rare Hot Wheels on the level of the white enamel Hong Kong Camaro."
Wait!? An Olds 442? Is it possible someone who used to work at Oldsmobile here in Lansing snapped up one of those and doesn't know what they have in their attic?
Better check.

Greeks need to stay on as executive for THON! No questions asked.
"IFC President-elect Luke Pierce introduced a one and a half page document detailing the policy for the creation of Interfraternity Council/Panhellenic Dance Marathon committee. The committee will be formed to examine the AVP positions, which were recently brought into the spotlight when Thon officials proposed moving them off of the Thon overall committee.
The committee will consist of ten members appointed by the IFC and PHC presidents and executive vice presidents, according to the document. Committee members must have "expert knowledge about Thon" and "the ability to think simultaneously objectively and progressively about the issues surrounding the uncertainty of the future of the Thon Greek Overall Chairpersons."
The IFC plans to explore the positions and discuss areas for growth, Pierce (junior-economics) said. It should be a call to action to the greek community, he added.
"Many people are seeing this as an attack on the greek community," Pierce said. "People need to look at this as an opportunity for us to show the community that we can step up and improve these positions with creative and innovative ideas."
The committee seats will be filled by Jan. 14, 2009, and the committee will be required to submit two reports, in writing, to the President's Council on Jan. 20 and Feb. 3, according to the policy. The first report should include information about initial findings and comment on the progress of the committee while the second report should include a direct plan of action, according to the document.
Former Daily Collegian staff member and PHC President-elect Mairys Joaquin said the councils do not want to keep pushing back the issue.
"Yeah, it's a time crunch but we can't waste any time," Joaquin (junior-journalism) said. "We want to have this resolved by Thon 2009 because it shouldn't be about the drama, it's taking away from the main focus, which is Thon."
The plan will make the roles a lot more vital and at the same time benefit Thon, Joaquin said. Bringing together more minds to discuss the positions will help the situation more, she added."
Greeks need to be in a prominent role while THON is still functioning. Do to some past in mistakes, THON is a University affiliated event. The greeks not only need to re-assert themselves in this battle, but need to reclaim THON as their own and take back what is rightfully theirs. Luke Pierce appears to be poised for greatness, and I think that under his tutelage, greatness is destined for the Greek Community.

Clwb Hwylio Pwllheli Sailing Club has been organising club racing of the highest quality for many years in the World acclaimed sailing waters of Cardigan Bay which provides near perfect sailing conditions with lack of commercial shipping, no strong tidal flows and 'clean' prevailing wind from the south west. The racing arena is all only minutes from the safe harbour, the award winning marina or from the new Plas Heli pontoon berths.
It is these superb qualities that makes the process of organising racing so much easier and provides the potential for the racing to be the best in the UK!
If you are not too busy racing take a moment to appreciate the spectacular scenery and views with the outstanding natural beauty of the Llyn Peninsula to the north, the dramatic backdrop of Snowdonia to the north east and the mountains of mid - Wales to the east and south east. If you're alert you may also see dolphins and porpoises!
Those of you who have participated will know that the season usually starts with the Spring Series at the end of March and then there is something for everyone all the way through to the end of October.
The IRC and NHC fleets usually race around the fixed Club racing marks using one of the pre-set courses which are all published in the easy to use 'Race Pack'. These races are referred to as 'round the cans'.
The 'Race Pack' includes a list of marks (with coordinates), a chart, the set courses for all wind directions and the Sailing Instructions (SI's).
Racing in 2018 will also be available for the white sail class using the NHC handicap system and is aimed at introducing new competitors to racing in Pwllheli. Making sailboat racing more fun and accessible is a Club priority. We aim to have well managed racing that satisfies the back of the fleet as much as the front.
Not all racing is 'round the cans' we also have a long bay race for the King Constantine Cup which will typically take the fleet to Gwylan Islands at the end of the Llyn Peninsula or to the Causeway Cardinal Buoy in the middle of Cardigan Bay. There is also the long coastal night race. Both these races form part of the ISORA offshore racing series. The Club has a proud history with offshore racing in the Irish Sea with many overall winners and the Club being a regular winner of the overall ISORA club team trophy.
Another racing format available is the windward / leeward style racing from a Committee Boat. This is the format used in the annual Spinlock IRC Welsh National Championship held at Pwllheli and in the Club Regatta.
The end of season racing is the popular Pwllheli Challenge Series with racing over four alternative weekends.
An important part of racing in Pwllheli is the competitors debrief ashore after racing. The post racing gathering in the club is an opportunity to compare notes, discuss tack ticks and manoeuvres (the ones that worked and those that went wrong!) make new friends and recruit new crew.
All race winner trophies are presented in the annual Christmas Party – a great way to celebrate and plan the campaigns for the following season!
The schedule of racing is available here so if you are interested in joining in, even for only the occasional race please contact us. We are always pleased to provide advice and guidance and we also encourage competitor feedback (positive or negative) so that we can improve the racing experience for everyone's benefit. The schedule of racing can, of course, be extended if there is sufficient interest.
Come and join us for some fun in the bay!
A copy of the club rules is available from the website here. Please take a few minutes to look through them.
Sailing can be a risky sport and it is important that you do all you can to keep yourself and your crew safe. Please read the SI's.

Often, they are spoken by someone who doesn't have what you have, but would like to have it.
If you are living what you see as a good life, it's probably because you made some good choices.
We are confronted with choices and circumstances. The choices, usually, we can do something about. The circumstances, often, we cannot.
When someone says, "it must be nice," that person very likely has had bad circumstances. Perhaps he has made less desirable choices that he is now living with, but it is clear that you have good circumstances, enhanced by good choices.
The choices can be small: like what I'll eat today. They can be a bit bigger, like what I will do today. They can be bigger still, like what will I buy – or not buy – today.
Choices can also be huge, like will I have children. In this modern age, having children is a choice. It can be a great choice for some. It can be a disastrous choice for others. It is a life-changing choice for all. But, it should be a choice, and it is OK to choose NOT to have children. It's OK to choose how many children to have, and when to have them. But the choice should always be there, even though some want to take that choice out of your hands.
Some of the other big choices include how and where one works, for how long one works, or whether one works at all. With jobs becoming scarcer, these choices are getting fewer. If your boss treats you badly, but you need the job, you may feel you have no choice. Keep looking. There are numerous choices out there you may not see. Try the one at www.bign.com/pbilodeau. If you'd like to fire your boss, you might see something in this choice that will enable you to do that, eventually.
Good food choices undoubtedly will make you healthier. They may not allow you to live forever, but they will allow you to be healthier for as long as you live. Bad food choices pave the way to unhealthy living. You may not die sooner, but bad food choices most likely will make your life more difficult. You'll probably suffer more over time.
You can choose what you do each day, in most cases. Sure, there are things we feel we MUST do, like go to work etc., but we are doing them either as a means to an end, or because we actually enjoy going to work. If you are not among the latter, try to look for something in your work other than the money and benefits that give you a reason to be there. If you can't find that perk, check out a new job or those numerous income choices. The choice to exercise, rather than sit, will likely make you healthier. Combining that choice with good food choices day in and day out, and you are empowering yourself for a healthy life.
Choosing what to buy affects your wealth. If you are racking up debt on stuff you use, then lose, you probably won't have much wealth over time. Knowing when to treat yourself may be a key here.
That knowledge will empower you, when someone tells you "it must be nice," to say, "Oh, it is," with nary a hint of apology.
A Florida lifeguard, and several of his colleagues were either fired or left their jobs with a private lifeguard company because that lifeguard opted to leave his post to save a life.
The problem here is that the drowning swimmer ventured into unprotected waters, and the lifeguard company only had liability to guard the protected areas. Therefore, the lifeguard who saved the swimmer was violating the company's liability policy and put the company at great financial and legal risk. The city of Hallandale, Fla., is rethinking how it is providing lifeguard services.
Jay Bookman, a columnist for The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, discussed this story in a July 2012 column. He said the lifeguard made a choice: would he worry more about the company's bottom line, or the life of a drowning swimmer? And Bookman asked: could he live with himself if he had stayed at his post and let the drowning swimmer die?
It's not just a case of public services, vs. private profit. It's also a case of who we are as people. The lifeguard's colleagues who lost or left their jobs were asked point blank by the lifeguard company what they would have done in that situation. When they said they would save the swimmer, they were, essentially, dismissed.
As more public services are outsourced to the private sector – and there will be more such outsourcing in the future as government spending is reduced – we have to look at the INTENT of those who serve these companies. For most dedicated lifeguards, their intent, and their instinct, is to save lives first. That's how they are trained. They should NEVER be penalized for doing that!
But in the liability morass, and as public institutions make beneficial, money-saving adjustments in how they perform public services, it's difficult to fault Hallandale for finding a private company to handle its lifeguard services. South Florida has year-round activity on the water, so there is likely a very high price to protect those who use the water year-round.
The public sector has established many zero-tolerance policies that take decision-making out of a human's hands. These policies go like this: if this happens, that's the consequence. Period. No mitigating circumstances. No gray areas. A human checks his judgment at the door. No creative solutions allowed!
When the profit motive becomes part of "public" service, services are provided differently. Usually, private companies provide more efficient service. But sometimes, efficiency is not what's called for. Doing something efficiently may not always equate to doing it RIGHT.
Government's overriding concern is process and procedure, and making sure everyone is treated fairly – at least that's the theory. Private companies' overriding concern is maximizing profit, and minimizing expenses. Both concerns can mix well in some endeavors, but certainly not in every endeavor. That swimmer, perhaps, should not have been swimming where he was swimming. Do we let him die for a bad decision? People, particularly young people, make ill-advised decisions all the time, utilizing real resources to bail them out. Do we stop doing that, and make personal responsibility paramount?
These are fair questions as we watch the inevitable trend of outsourcing public services. Adjudication should consider who did the right thing. Adjudication should require human reasoning, instinct, intuition and, most of all, INTENT! Those who deliberately intend to do wrong without mitigating circumstances should be punished. But mitigating factors play a big part in defining right and wrong. And, people can do bad things unintentionally. In those cases, different consequences may be in order, depending on the extent of the damage, and whether or not the person should have been paying attention. The lifeguard's attention was correctly focused on the troubled swimmer.
Think of your own life, your decisions and the consequences of those decisions. Do you feel good about what you did, regardless of what may have happened to you because of it? Did you make a small mistake, and are paying too dearly for it? The lifeguard may have lost his job, but, as Bookman points out, he probably would have been haunted for life had he not saved that swimmer.
For the sensible person, the gut reaction is usually the right one. When it's not, the sensible person takes heed, and sees why it isn't. The sensible person, most of the time, will do the right thing.
P.S. You can make a good decision by checking out www.bign.com/pbilodeau. You can save on what you already buy, and earn by sharing.
Imagine living with such fear that a recession, an illness or bad weather could bankrupt you.
Some Americans live that way now, as do many around the world. But a few decades ago, nearly every American felt that insecurity.
New York Times columnist David Brooks, in a June 2012 column, says although the nation needs to reduce its deficit, Americans don't really want to. Despite the political bluster, Brooks says, solving the real problem of reducing debt is fraught with political peril.
The current generation of Americans has been led to believe that debt is not a problem. They live on borrowed money, via credit cards, all the time, and think nothing of it. There is always insurance to take care of the big expenditures. Buy now, pay later. Or, pay a small premium and live without fear.
Before the plethora of insurance products, before credit cards became actual currency, Americans always lived in fear of that big event that would either kill them, or leave them penniless. The only way to postpone the inevitable was to save their money. That meant giving up a lot of things one might want, and even some things they need. People would die because they could not afford the treatment that would save them. Secure families were wiped out by drought, tornado or hurricane. There was no insurance, only self-insurance.
Even the staunchest deficit hawks don't want to see EVERYONE, except for the very rich, living on the edge through no fault of their own. They even want room to save the irresponsible from themselves. But to do that costs money. Hence, we have a debate about government spending vs. over-taxation.
Let's frame the debate in reality. First, as economist and New York Times columnist Paul Krugman preaches, government spending IS decreasing, mostly at the local and state levels. Those budgets are getting balanced off the backs of teachers, firefighters, police officers and other government workers who are losing jobs at a rapid rate nationwide.
As we try to get more people back to work, every teacher, firefighter, police officer and other public worker who gets laid off ADDS to the unemployment problem. Think of what bigger cuts in government spending will do to unemployment. Would such cuts enhance the private sector to the degree that it could absorb all those government workers – plus a good number of those public and private employees already out of work? Common sense would say, probably not. That's not even considering the PRIVATE businesses that might close as GOVERNMENT cuts more spending.
We do need to get government spending under control. We do need to get our national debt down. We need NOT to be indebted to foreign creditors, even though many of those creditors NEED a vibrant and free-spending U.S. to prosper themselves.
We see what Brooks was talking about when he referred to debt solutions as politically unpalatable. Many Americans love the idea of debt reduction, until it hits their own lives. Generations past were willing to risk everything – or at least they were FORCED to risk everything.
Today, there are things in place to cushion such risks. No one wants those cushions to be taken away, but we still have to reduce our national debt.
As individuals, we need to get our own houses in order FIRST. Eliminate, or reduce, unnecessary debt. The first rule: if you are buying something that will last years, it's OK to borrow and pay back over time. If you are buying something to consume quickly, or in a short time, pay cash or don't buy it at all.
The second rule: if you are a government worker, or have a private-sector job you feel will not last you as long as you want it, make sure you save as much of what you earn as possible. Then, establish a Plan B for income, so when your job disappears, you can walk out with a smile. For a great Plan B, visit www.bign.com/pbilodeau.
As for national debt, it didn't happen overnight, and it will take time to eliminate. We have to do it in a way that hurts the fewest people. Everyone won't escape unscathed. We will all pay for it in some way. But some ways are less painful, overall, than others. Let's find those ways. Let's not go back to the days when we were one uncontrollable disaster away from bankruptcy.

Time Warner adds channels back to its controversial TWCable TV iPad app
By Gadgetman on	 Apr 18, 2011 · Gadget News
Time Warner recently added several channels back to their TW Cable TV iPad app. The application has been under heavy scrutiny as several cable network providers have stated Time Warner is violating their terms of use by including the streaming live programs in the iPad app. In fact, just last week the fight between Time Warner and Viacom took a legal turn as the two companies filed complaints against each other. Interestingly, it was Viacom owned networks that Time Warner reinstated to their TW Cable TV iPad app. By April 18, 2011, the TWCable iPad app had included Discovery and Fox channels.
Time Warner has stated from the onset that they believe they are well within their rights to broadcast the programming. Though Time Warner had received several cease and desist letters by angry cable networks, TW was never court ordered not to include the programming in their lineup of live streaming cable channels. Time Warner voluntarily removed the programming; at this point, it is unclear what caused Time Warner to add the Viacom networks back into their lineup.
The time Warner cable app is free of charge and has quickly become an extremely popular app. As the app only works for those who are a Time Warner Cable video subscriber, TW maintains that they are legally extending their cable services to their customers in a legal and justified manner. Viacom disagrees. After time Warner filed a request for a declaratory judgment for the rights to stream the programming to their iPad app, Viacom released a statement. It reads as follows, "Viacom has always negotiated rights to distribute our content based on specific technologies and devices to ensure that the unique business issues, such as security, product quality and audience measurement, are properly addressed.
"Instead of addressing these issues, Time Warner Cable simply launched the product without a license to distribute our programming through an iPad app. They blatantly grabbed the rights that their competitors have negotiated in good faith to obtain. Time Warner Cable removed our programming from this service only when they were threatened with a lawsuit and, now, it is asking the Court to declare their brazen acts lawful.
" Regrettably, all of this has compelled us to file a suit of our own – as Time Warner Cable refuses to even discuss the business issues. With $5.2 billion in cash from operations last year, Time Warner Cable can certainly afford to provide our programming through this new broadband service without passing along any additional costs to its customers."

Vehicle accidents, especially ones with injuries, are unnerving and unsettling situations. While the stress of these trying situations will naturally be high, it is important to maintain your composure and remember these helpful tips.
Make sure to move yourself and any of your passengers out of the way of potential harm. Check on everyone involved in the accident. Call for emergency personnel if anyone was injured, including yourself, regardless of how insignificant those injuries might seem. Many times, injuries suffered in a car accident, including serious ones, may not present obvious symptom in the immediate aftermath of the accident.
If you can leave the vehicles where they are without posing a safety risk, do so. Being able to photograph the accident scene exactly as it looked can be very valuable to your attorney and your case. If leaving the cars where they are poses a safety hazard, though, pull them to the nearest safe place.
Also be sure to call police to the scene. The police report detailing the events of the accident is often one of the key pieces of evidence in a personal injury case. After calling the police, be sure to exchange insurance information with the other driver (or drivers) involved in the accident. Also collect the contact and license plate information of the other driver (or drivers,) and contact information from any witnesses to the accident. It is also a good idea to take down the names of the police officers who respond to your accident. Furthermore, you should remain at the scene of the accident until the police depart.
Once you've dealt with insurance and contact information, you should try to document the accident scene. If you have a camera on your cell phone (or other camera with you,) take photographs of the accident scene. These photos can be invaluable in recording injuries, damage to the vehicles, road conditions at the time of the accident, and many other pieces of information that you will likely forget as time passes and bits of your memory of the incident fade. With that in mind, also make notes of the accident. Chances are, even though you think you will remember everything about this terrible event, there are aspects (even important ones) that will escape your memory or at least become hazy.
After leaving the accident scene, you should immediately contact your auto insurance company to notify them about the accident. Your agent should be able to give you useful information regarding what information your insurance needs from you. Next, contact an auto accident attorney promptly. Your attorney will need to begin work on certain aspects of the case quickly, like helping you gather evidence, contacting witnesses to obtain recorded statements, and retaining accident investigators and reconstruction experts to put together the factual components of your case. The more quickly you contact and retain an auto accident attorney, the better that attorney will be able to help you pursue your case, and get all of what you are entitled to under the law.
In our area, consider contacting experienced Jacksonville injury lawyer at the Dorsey Law Firm for help after an accident.
No one can give you a certain, definitive dollar-amount answer to that question, absent a jury verdict or a settlement. The value of any personal injury depends on so many variables and unknown factors that make each claim and each case unique. The uniqueness and individuality of each case is one of the reasons why the civil justice system is needed.
Conceptually speaking, your case is worth whatever amount of damages the jury determines you have suffered as a result of your injuries. Under Florida law, an injured person may collect two types of damages: compensatory damages and punitive damages. Compensatory damages are intended to, just as the name implies, compensate you for the injuries you suffered.
In some cases, a jury may award punitive damages in addition to compensatory damages. Punitive damages only arise when the defendant acted in an especially outrageous manner and, the defendant deserves to be "punished" monetarily for its unconscionable conduct. Punitive damages exist, like most punishments, to serve as a deterrent; hopefully preventing others from acting in a similar manner in the future. Many courts only allow a jury to consider punitive damages after deciding the compensatory award, and most courts also cap the amount of punitive damages a jury may assess.
No two personal injury cases are exactly alike, and so no two personal injury cases are worth the exact same, even if the facts of the cases and the injuries resulting from the accidents are extremely similar. Evaluating the worth of a personal injury case takes years of experience. In our area you should contact a Jacksonville personal injury attorney to discuss the value of your case.

Balter Pilsner 375ml x 16
Balter Pilsner. It's a beer beer.
Modern craft beers offer an epic variety of intense flavours. But, sometimes you want a drink that's simple and refreshing. Sometimes you want a 'beer beer'. Enter the Balter Pilsner - our third tinnie and second full-time flavour.
Since Balter started 10 months ago we've had great feedback from our patrons who've enjoyed the bigger, bolder beers coming from the taproom. But, we still had a lot of requests for a 'beer beer'. We knew exactly what they were talking about and it was wonderful to hear people craving a sometimes underappreciated style in craft beer.
"In the gold rush of hop driven ales Pilsner is a beer that hasn't been celebrated as much as other styles." Balter Head Brewer, Scott Hargrave explains. "But it's beers like these that are the reason people love beer. It's a beer we love ourselves, and something we wanted to celebrate."
So to satisfy those chasing a classic, the Balter brew team set off five months ago to create our newest drop. It's often hard to do something that appears simple, and Scott let us know that a good, traditional Pilsner beer is tough to pull off:
"Pilsners are technically challenging. It comes down to great ingredients and process, because every part of making a Pilsner has to be as good as you can do it. You can't hide behind massive hop flavour or malt structure in a beer like this. It's a beer that has to stand alone because it's good - plain and simple."
With some planning and hard work (and a lot of tasting), we're happy to say we're launching our brand new Pilsner to your tastebuds Feb 1st. It goes a little something like this:
The word 'crisp' gets thrown around when it comes to Pilsners, but that makes us think of lettuce. This Pils is more than crisp, it's straight up satisfying. The balanced malt base pulls you in for a hug before the hops get frisky with floral aromas and a refreshingly bitter finish. Perfect for those who like a 'beer beer', it's best enjoyed straight from the esky with the bar-b blazing.

Donor Suzanne Stroud Santo tells the story of the films in this collection: "My family owned the Texan Theatre in Hamilton, Texas. During the Depression, a fellow from Hollywood, down on his luck, sold my grandfather his film equipment. Grandpa would go to community events in Hamilton County and film them, then develop them and have a "showing" to promote business." The family also owned the 281 Drive-In Theatre, the first Drive-In in Texas to install a swimming pool.


Once upon a time, there was a railway line from Edinburgh to Carlisle, that passed through Midlothian and the Borders, serving the towns of Galashiels and Hawick. It was called the Waverley Route, and it had bit of a troubled history. It was built in the Victorian era when intense competition between railway companies led to a lot of duplicated routes. After British Railways was created in 1948, it eventually decided that two lines from Edinburgh to Carlisle was one too many, and the Waverley Route closed to passengers in January 1969. It was a hugely controversial decision, and the good people of the Borders never gave up fighting to get it reopened – in 2015, the bit from Edinburgh to Tweedbank reopened as the Borders Railway. It's been a big success – trains run far more frequently than they ever did in the past, and lots of people use it. It's bit of a different animal these days, though – it's a railway for commuters and shoppers, and the days of express trains to London and heavy freights battling their way over the line's vicious gradients are long gone.
However, campaigning to get the rest reopened carries on. I suspect there's a good chance the line will make it as far as Melrose and Hawick eventually, but the bit south of there to Carlisle was always pretty empty – and still is. There's not much besides farmland and the wilds of the Southern Uplands out there, with very few people to pick up from the scattered villages in the area. This was why the line was never a great success south of Hawick, and why it didn't survive Beeching's axe.
Anyway…the tracks have gone, but a lot of the old infrastructure is still there, including bridges, tunnels and stations, decaying away slowly in the wild Border landscapes. Being a lover of industrial archaeology and exploring abandoned places, on Sunday I took a trip out to see some of what's left.
I parked up at the Whitrope Heritage Centre, near the sidings and tunnel that carried the line under a ridge of hills. The group running it has laid a short stretch of track, built a little station and acquired a few locos and carriages. They run occasional trains up and down, and there's a café in an old buffet car. It was all closed and extremely deserted when I got there, but the site isn't secured and I was free to wander about and explore – it's in such a deserted spot that they don't really need to worry about security. At various times you can trundle up and down in this Leyland railbus, but nothing was operating when I was there. On the right in the background you can see the little platform they've built. This is looking south towards Riccarton Junction. Behind me a few hundred yards away was Whitrope Tunnel, now sealed off as part of the roof has collapsed.
You have to wonder if a heritage centre in such an isolated location will ever be much of a success, but they've been here a few years and seem happy to keep ploughing on with efforts to keep the Waverley Route alive. The idea is eventually to extend track along the two miles to Riccarton Junction. This is the route I was going to walk, to explore the remains at Riccarton.
Looking back north as I set off for Riccarton. There's quite a lot of railway relics in various states stored here. It was a pleasant walk along the old line, which went through cuttings and over embankments on its way through the undulating landscape.
Imagine charging through this landscape on a train to London, via the Settle and Carlisle Line – wish I could have experienced that, but the line closed five years before I was born.
And so, after a pleasant walk, I ended up at Riccarton Junction. This was always a particularly remote spot, with no road access, but a small village grew up around the station, with cottages for railway employees. Living here must have been pretty tough, especially in the winter. When the line closed in 1969, the village went with it – there was no need for anyone to remain living there, and no easy way in and out without the trains. The station was an interchange with a branch line towards Newcastle, but that line closed in the fifties. Most of the station's buildings have gone, but there's a few things left to see.
Here's a nice Polaroid of the sign on the platform! It's not original – it was placed there about ten years ago by a group called Friends of Riccarton Junction, who had done some restoration work, clearing vegetation on the platform, laying a section of track, and restoring the last remaining building on the site, hoping to open it as a visitor centre. Unfortunately, one or two of the "larger than life" characters in the group started throwing their weight around, and eventually, amid accusations of fraud with the group's funds, it split acrimoniously. The building has returned to dereliction, the vegetation has grown back, and the track has gone. It's actually quite hard to tell where the platform is in places.
The site was fascinating to explore. Strange to think that, although this place was never busy or bustling, it sprang to life several times a day as trains arrived, and had a small but thriving community around it, in such a bleak and wild location. Could trains ever return? Who knows? As a standalone preservation project, I think the Friends of Riccarton Junction were possibly a bit optimistic. Maybe a line from Whitrope could be a success, but you'd have to be pretty dedicated to travel out there to go on it. Not exactly much passing trade on offer.
Apparently the Friends of RJ made use of a nearby bothy when they weren't coming to blows with each other and fraudulently spending the society's money. Bothies are a recent and wonderful discovery for me – they're basic but often cosy and beautiful buildings that are permanently open and available for people to use for shelter and overnight accommodation. No reservation, no fees! There's almost ninety of them in Scotland, and I've spent the night in three of them, all in remote and beautiful places. They function on trust and goodwill, and apparently the one at Riccarton Junction has had some problems. It's seemingly suffered from neglect and antisocial behaviour, but I dropped in to have a look, and it seemed in a reasonable state.
It needs a bit of attention – apparently one of the chimneys is blocked – but it's certainly in a good enough state to contemplate an overnight stay, which is better than I was expecting. Could be a base for further abandoned railway exploration. Anyway – here's a shot of the other side, on long-expired Polaroid film.
After the nose around the bothy, it was time to head back, walking the two miles back along the track to Whitrope and my car. Fascinating day out, and further evidence to me that getting off the beaten track (haha) in the Borders is well worth the effort. You won't find many people, but there's a few fascinating ghosts around.
← Welcome, and an Instant Camera Shootout!
Interesting. The line towards Newcastle was equally interesting altough never intended for long distance expresses. I knew the line in the 1950s when it was still in use although never travelled on it. Exploring it now would require diving gear in some locations. A village and station I visited was Plashetts where the station is now under water. I was on my way to a tiny colliery at the top of the hill to the south of Plashetts.
You have to argue with the Forestry Commission if you want to visit the village now!
Thanks for your comment! I'd certainly like to explore the area a bit more, it's fascinating and there's a lot of history there.
Fascinating. I remember the Border Counties line even though I was only 9 when it closed. We used to take the train from Newcastle to Hawick for a day trip. Beautiful countryside. Visited Kielder in 2017 – must try to get to Riccarton next time I'm in UK.

Hague officials threatened by New Year's bonfire builders: municipal minutes
By Janene Pieters on February 15, 2019 - 07:55

Officials of the municipality of The Hague were threatened by builders of traditional bonfires in the run-up to New Year's, according to minutes of a meeting released on Thursday. The builders of the Scheveningen and Duindorp bonfires also threatened each other, the municipality's Security director said during a meeting with the municipality, the police and Public Prosecutor on December 31st, NU.nl reports.
The minutes of the meeting go on to say that "so far no declarations or reports were made of threats by builders or employees of the municipality". Mayor Pauline Krikke was also at the meeting.
An incident at the Duindorp beach on the night of December 30th was also discussed. Several trucks drove through the barriers to the bonfire tower. The mayor decided not to intervene, "in view of the actual circumstances such as the nighttime hours, the location on the beach, the lack of direct availability of riot police, and the fact that the builders were under the influence", according to the minutes.
On Thursday the municipality of The Hague released all documents that were shared with the Dutch Safety Board for its investigation into the New Year's bonfires. This involves documents spanning 25 years.
At the end of January the municipality released the covenant made about the New Year's bonfires. It showed that the municipality of The Hague had not kept to its own agreements in the construction of the bonfires. According to the covenant, the bonfire towers can only be up to 35 meters high. This past New Year's the tower on Scheveningen beach was 48 meters high. The builders later said that they were not aware of the agreements.
Over New Year's strong winds blew tornados of sparks from the Scheveningen bonfire over the city. Dozens of fires started, damaging a number of homes and vehicles. No one was injured.

(a) A licensed paralegal practitioner who has formerly represented a client in a matter
shall not thereafter represent another person in the same or a substantially related matter
in which that person's interests are materially adverse to the interests of the former client unless the former client gives informed consent, confirmed in writing.
(b) A licensed paralegal practitioner shall not knowingly represent a person in the same
or a substantially related matter in which a firm with which the licensed paralegal
practitioner formerly was associated had previously represented a client
(b)(1) whose interests are materially adverse to that person; and
(b)(2) about whom the licensed paralegal practitioner had acquired information protected by Rules 1.6 and 1.9(c) that is material to the matter, unless the former client gives informed consent, confirmed in writing.
(c) A licensed paralegal practitioner who has formerly represented a client in a matter
or whose present or former firm has formerly represented a client in a matter shall not thereafter:
(c)(1) use information relating to the representation to the disadvantage of the former
client except as these Rules would permit or require with respect to a client, or when the information has become generally known; or
(c)(2) reveal information relating to the representation except as these Rules would permit or require.
[1] After termination of a licensed paralegal practitioner-client relationship, a licensed paralegal practitioner has certain continuing duties with respect to confidentiality and
conflicts of interest and thus may not represent another client except in conformity with
this Rule. Under this Rule, for example, a licensed paralegal practitioner who has
represented multiple clients in a matter could not represent one of the clients against the others in the same or a substantially related matter after a dispute arose among the clients
in that matter, unless all affected clients give informed consent. See Comment [9]. Current
and former government licensed paralegal practitioners must comply with this Rule to the extent required by Rule 1.11.
[2] The scope of a "matter" for purposes of this Rule depends on the facts of a particular situation or transaction. The licensed paralegal practitioner's involvement in a matter can
also be a question of degree. When a licensed paralegal practitioner has been directly
involved in a specific transaction, subsequent representation of other clients with
materially adverse interests in that transaction clearly is prohibited. On the other hand, a licensed paralegal practitioner who recurrently handled a type of problem for a former
client is not precluded from later representing another client in a factually distinct problem
of that type even though the subsequent representation involves a position adverse to the
prior client. The underlying question is whether the licensed paralegal practitioner was so involved in the matter that the subsequent representation can be justly regarded as a
changing of sides in the matter in question.
[3] Matters are "substantially related" for purposes of this Rule if they involve the same transaction or legal dispute or if there otherwise is a substantial risk that confidential
factual information as would normally have been obtained in the prior representation
would materially advance the client's position in the subsequent matter. For example, a licensed paralegal practitioner who has represented a businessperson and learned
extensive private financial information about that person may not then represent that
person's spouse in seeking a divorce. Information that has been disclosed to the public or
to other parties adverse to the former client ordinarily will not be disqualifying.
Information acquired in a prior representation may have been rendered obsolete by the passage of time, a circumstance that may be relevant in determining whether two representations are substantially related. A former client is not required to reveal the confidential information learned by the licensed paralegal practitioner in order to establish a substantial risk that the licensed paralegal practitioner has confidential information to use in the subsequent matter. A conclusion about the possession of such information may be based on the nature of the services the licensed paralegal practitioner provided the former client and
information that would in ordinary practice be learned by a licensed paralegal practitioner providing such services.
Licensed Paralegal Practitioners Moving Between Firms
[4] When licensed paralegal practitioners have been associated within a firm but then end their association, the question of whether a licensed paralegal practitioner should undertake representation is more complicated. There are several competing considerations. First, the client previously represented by the former firm must be reasonably assured that the principle of loyalty to the client is not compromised. Second, the rule should not be so broadly cast as to preclude other persons from having reasonable choice of legal counsel. Third, the rule should not unreasonably hamper licensed paralegal practitioners from forming new associations and taking on new clients after having left a previous association. If the concept of imputation were applied with unqualified rigor, the result would be radical curtailment of the opportunity of licensed paralegal practitioners to move from one practice setting to another and of the opportunity of clients to change counsel.
[5] Paragraph (b) operates to disqualify the licensed paralegal practitioner only when
the licensed paralegal practitioner involved has actual knowledge of information protected
by Rules 1.6 and 1.9(c). Thus, if a licensed paralegal practitioner while with one firm
acquired no knowledge or information relating to a particular client of the firm, and that
licensed paralegal practitioner later joined another firm, neither the licensed paralegal practitioner individually nor the second firm is disqualified from representing another
client in the same or a related matter even though the interests of the two clients conflict.
See Rule 1.10(b) for the restrictions on a firm once a licensed paralegal practitioner has terminated association with the firm.
[6] Application of paragraph (b) depends on a situation's particular facts, aided by inferences, deductions or working presumptions that reasonably may be made about the
way in which licensed paralegal practitioners work together. A licensed paralegal
practitioner may have general access to files of all clients of a law firm and may regularly participate in discussions of their affairs; it should be inferred that such a licensed
paralegal practitioner in fact is privy to all information about all the firm's clients. In
contrast, another licensed paralegal practitioner may have access to the files of only a
limited number of clients and participate in discussions of the affairs of no other clients; in
the absence of information to the contrary, it should be inferred that such a licensed
paralegal practitioner in fact is privy to information about the clients actually served but
not those of other clients. In such an inquiry, the burden of proof should rest upon the firm whose disqualification is sought.
[7] Independent of the question of disqualification of a firm, a licensed paralegal
practitioner changing professional association has a continuing duty to preserve
confidentiality of information about a client formerly represented. See Rules 1.6 and 1.9(c).
[8] Paragraph (c) provides that information acquired by the licensed paralegal
practitioner in the course of representing a client may not subsequently be used or
revealed by the licensed paralegal practitioner to the disadvantage of the client. However,
the fact that a licensed paralegal practitioner has once served a client does not preclude the licensed paralegal practitioner from using generally known information about that client
when later representing another client.
[9] The provisions of this Rule are for the protection of former clients and can be
waived if the client gives informed consent, which consent must be confirmed in writing
under paragraphs (a) and (b). See Rule 1.0(b) and (f). With regard to the effectiveness of an advance waiver, see Comment [22] to Rule 1.7. With regard to disqualification of a firm
with which a licensed paralegal practitioner is or was formerly associated, see Rule 1.10.
