Pakistan: court orders release of kidnapped 13 year old Christian girl
by Loveworld February 25, 2021 0176
Pakistani court orders release of 13 year old Christian girl tortured by Muslim kidnapper.
In the eastern part of Pakistan's Punjab, a local court has finally made a court order release of a young 13 year old Christian girl, Farah Shaheen, who was kidnapped from Faisalabad in June of 2020 by a 45 year old Muslim man and his two colleagues.
Upon her abduction, Farah was heavily traumatized as she could not even speak about the torture she was put through, she was tied up in a cattle pen for up to five months. The bruises on her ankles and her body were evidence of the abuse she was put through and on top of all of that, she was forced to marry the man that kidnapped her.
The court session commenced on Tuesday where the judge gave permission for her to be taken by her family from a shelter house where she's been living. Her kidnapper, Khizar Hayat (45), was released weeks prior to the court order being given after testifying that the 13 year old willingly accepted to marry him.
Judge Rana Masood Akhtar said, "She wants to live with her father. Since the marriage between Farah Shaheen and Khizar Hayat has not been registered and nikah (marriage contract) has not been verified by the Union Council concerned, she cannot be kept in Dar ul Aman (shelter house) for an indefinite period."
Farah's family received assistance with the legal court affairs from Bishop Iftikhar Indrias of the Apostles of Gospel Ministries International who insists that Farah's kidnapper should be arrested. "We thank all Christians for raising their voice against the insult and injustice. We shall make this success a reference to stop forced conversions of our daughters. It is our responsibility as their parents and protectors to ensure their security and support such victims of violence upon their return back home." the Bishop said.
About 1000 Christian and Hindu women and girls are abducted, forced to marry their kidnappers and forced to convert to being Islam or Muslim according to the study of The Movement for Solidarity and Peace Pakistan.

How Should You Buy Your Next Vehicle?
Do you want to buy a new vehicle? If you do, there are a lot of ways that you can do so. The vast majority of people simply get a car loan through the company where they bought the vehicle. Although this can be a good idea in some situations, there are better ways to buy a vehicle. If you value saving money and having flexibility with your vehicle, a lease agreement may be for you.
Few people understand all of the benefits of lease agreements. Not only will your monthly payment be lower than a loan, but you have a lot of advantages over the typical car buyer as well.
If you want to buy a car and do not have the cash to do so, a car loan is the way to go. There are a lot of people today who are going out to borrow money to buy a car. This is not something that is sustainable over a period of time. When a lot of people get car loans, this is a warning sign in the economy that the car market is getting too hot. This exact thing happened right before the last economic crash.
Car loans are not as hard to qualify for as they used to be. A lot of people do not even have to show proof of income when getting a car loan. The lower your credit score, the higher the interest rate is going to be on the loan. Now is the time to try and figure out the way to buy a car the right way. If you do not like dealing with the hassle of working with a bank or paying interest on debt, car leasing is probably the best option for you.
When you have a car lease, you make much smaller monthly payments every month in order to have access to drive the vehicle. You never technically own a vehicle while you are leasing it. This is a huge advantage that saves a lot of time and money. When it comes to your payments, you can make them variable or fixed depending on what you prefer in your financial situation.
When you are finished with the lease, you then get to move on to a new car. If you buy the car outright with a loan or with cash, you have to sell it to get your next car. This lack of flexibility is something that a lot of people do not like about owning a car.
One of the most expensive aspects of owning a vehicle is the maintenance on it. Over the years, a lot of people get tired of the routine maintenance that is required on their vehicles. When a major issue happens, a car owner may have to cough up several hundred dollars in order to repair it. This is a huge issue that many people cannot deal with financially. Having a car lease makes any repair easy. All you have to do is go to the dealership to get your vehicle repaired. It will not cost you anything because it is under the warranty of the lease. This is a great way to save time and money if you own a vehicle.
Overall, a lot of people think about the type of car they want to buy. However, few people think about how they are going to buy a vehicle. A car lease has a lot of advantages in both time and money over a typical vehicle purchase. Check out the various options in your area today if you want to have more flexibility in your life with owning a vehicle.

Luka Krmpotich grew up in the rural, small town of Bonners Ferry, Idaho, where skateboarding wasn't common. Nevertheless, Luka found his strength and community in skating and helped to fundraise and build a skate park in his hometown.
Luka has had sight in one eye his entire life. Nevertheless, he has found ways to work with what he has by playing the cards he has been dealt. Luka has to do things a bit differently…walking ramps, bowls, or entire parks before ever stepping onto his board is not uncommon. Some might see this as an annoyance; however, Luka simply sees this as a part of his unique experience as a skater.
Luka has been a skateboarder for a combined total of 16 years, with a 5-year hiatus from 2008-2013. He has skated both street and transition in that time. Lately, pools have been his terrain of choice. Luka loves the challenge, perseverance, progress, and sense of accomplishment that comes with skating. He believes that skateboarding brings freedom as it gives one the ability to go at your own pace.
Skateboarding was just one of the many activities he did growing up. When Luka is not skating, he can be found: biking, hiking, cross-country skiing in winter, and rock climbing.

This is How Gen Z & Millennials Feel About the Capital Riots & Impeachment
On the day of the impeachment hearings, we asked young people how they felt about the Capitol riots, their opinions on impeachment, whether President Trump should be suspended from social media, and more…
We hardly need to rehash the events of the last week, which have included the historic storming of the Capitol, President Trump being banned from social media, and a vote to impeach him. These unprecedented incidents have dominated headlines, social media, and begun to appear in brand statements as well. But while we hardly need to tell you what happened, we can reveal exactly how young people feel about all of this significant news. Today, one week after the invasion of the Capitol building and on the day of the impeachment hearings, we used our on-demand survey platform PULSE to ask young people their opinions on everything from the violence in D.C. last week to the social media bans and more.
We began by asking 16-34-year-olds their overall feelings about the events at the Capitol, and found that when choosing from a list that included both positive and negative descriptors, they were most likely to describe them as "violent":
Our PULSE on-demand survey found that 68% of young people feel the events at the Capitol one wee ago were "violent," and over half would describe them as "anti-American," and "Trump's fault." Some also added a few of their own thoughts via comments, including "insurrection," "terrorism," "failed coup," and "unbelievable." Their overall feeling are not too surprising. We know that Gen Z and Millennials are more likely to call themselves Democrats than Republican, and that more planned to vote for Joe Biden than Donald Trump in the lead up to the election. But a few commented that their feelings on the events were more complicated—including one respondent who believed it was staged, and one who explained, "I believe that it shouldn't have happened, but I believe it's justified in that they thought they were fighting tyranny. that's [sic] respectable, the problem is with Trump who told them that democracy was tyranny."
But most young people don't believe the events were justified (just 4% say they were) and they are far more likely to call them "riots" (54%) as opposed to "protests" (12%). Interestingly, they were also more likely to call the events "not surprising" (39%) than "shocking" (29%)—which speaks to their somewhat jaded political and world views. And our survey found that these events have further impacted their trust in government:
An overwhelming majority of Gen Z and Millennials say that the events at the Capitol last week made them feel lower trust in government, less safe, and more anxious. For young people, the last week has weakened their already failing trust in systems, which could impact their politics and their activism going forward. Their anxiety is not just general, but rooted in fears of violence and lack of protection:
When our PULSE survey asked 16-34-year-olds about police actions and further violence, it was clear that most believe that police on the scene did not do enough to stop the riots. The majority (68%) say they are worried about more violence occurring because of President Trump as well. So their feelings about Trump's impeachment shouldn't come as too much of a surprise either:
Three quarters of young people said they believed that President Trump should be impeached. This question was asked today as the hearings took place, but before the vote. Some commented that they supported impeachment so that Trump would not be able to run again in four years, and others felt that he has put people in danger and "needs to have consequences to preserve democracy." Among the 26% who said that Trump should not be impeached, many were supporters of Trump. But some also expressed their belief that impeachment would only worsen things, with one commenting "I think he is guilty but this won't do anything more than make people go crazy." Others believe that impeachment is a waste of time and resources with only two weeks left in Trump's term. As one person put it, "Why would we waste time trying to impeachment him when he is soon going to be out of office. We should be spending our time doing something more productive. I've seen worst tweets."
But how do they feel about the other repercussions President Trump is facing – namely his suspension from multiple social media platforms?
Three quarters of young people support the decision to ban President Trump from social media, while a quarter tell us that "it's not right." Again, not all of those who chose the latter were necessarily Trump's supporters. Many spoke about setting dangerous precedents, the growing power of big tech, and the importance of free speech. One female explained, "Censorship isn't right to anyone," while another commented, "I do not want Trump to be president but I also believe in freedom of speech." A male teen told us that while he supported impeachment, he didn't support the bans, saying, "Trump should be impeached for inciting a riot on the capitol building. However; I think big tech is gaining too much power when it comes to suppression of speach [sic.]." Among those who support his social media bans, public safety was the main theme of comments, with one male explaining, "The continued dissemination of misinformation is too problematic to continue to be unchecked; and if the government won't take action individuals and companies need to do so." And in the words of a female respondent, "I feel this way because I feel he is a danger to all people's safety especially me and my loved ones and family with his beliefs. I feel he can and will try to start more problems."
Finally, we asked young people how they feel about brands commenting on all of these historic events, and President Trump, in the wake of the riots:
After the riots in D.C. last week, select brands, like Ben & Jerry's, immediately denounced the actions. Vox reports that a week later, even more brands have spoken out: AXE, Chevron, and the National Association of Manufacturers (who represent Exxon, Pfizer, and Toyota) are some of the companies who have issued public statements. Our PULSE survey today found that the majority (70%) of young people say that brands should make it clear that they don't support President Trump after the riots, and they are more likely to feel this way than to say that brands should not make statements about the riots (30%).
These beliefs follow the trend that we've tracked among young consumers throughout 2020: They expect brands to make their views on important issues known. Our Not Waiting for the World to Change trend research found that 73% of 13-39-year-olds like it when a brand posts on social media about issues that matter to them, and 78% like it when brands share the ways that they are supporting a specific cause / issue in detail. YPulse also found that the expectations around brand involvement in causes and issues were raised in 2020, and they expect that brands will comment on hot button issues.

'Move Him to a Hospital': 14 MPs Write to Maharashtra CM, Express Concern over Varavara Rao's Health
Author	Posted on 20th June 2020
Expressing their "grave concern" over the health of 81-year-old poet Varavara Rao, who has been convicted in the Bhima Koregaon case, 14 Members of Parliament (MPs) have written to Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on June 19, urging state authorities to provide medical treatment to Rao and former Delhi University Professor G.N. Saibaba.
The fourteen MPs, from various political parties including CPI(M), Congress, DMK, VCK, CPI and RJD, have asked for medical attention to be provided to the duo in light of a surge of cases of COVID-19 within prisons.
Rao has been imprisoned in the Taloja Central Jail, Navi Mumbai. On August 28, 2018, he was arrested for his alleged involvement in the Bhima Koregaon violence, and has been accused of plotting to assassinate Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
In their letter, the MPs write that the 81-year-old has been vomiting daily and has not been keeping well. The MPs mentioned that his health reports mention an electrolyte disturbance which could have a detrimental impact on his health since Rao is a cardiac patient. The letter added that his intestinal ulcers need an urgent examination as well, and that the procedure has not been conducted even after six months of being prescribed.
"As he is under such a dire health condition, we urge you to transfer him to a hospital. The present level of care provided in the jail is not acceptable. We request you to give him the necessary and urgent medical attention by moving him to a hospital," the statement added.
The MPs who have written to the Maharashtra CM are: PR Natarajan (CPI(M)), KK Ragesh (CPI(M)), K Subbarayan (CPI), Uttam Kumar Reddy (Congress), Komati Reddy Venkat Reddy (Congress), Manoj Jha (RJD), D Ravikumar (VCK), Thol Thirumavalavan (VCK), A Revanth Reddy (Congress), Sumathy Thamizhachi Thangapandian (DMK), Tiruchi Siva (DMK), Kanimozhi (DMK) and S Venkatesan (CPI(M)).
"We also use this opportunity to request access to medical treatment for Dr GN Saibaba, the wheelchair-bound professor with 90% disabilities whose health condition is also most vulnerable," their statement added.
Left leaning poet and writer Varavara Rao is among 11 rights activists who have been jailed for their alleged role in the Bhima Koregaon violence. The others are Sudha Bhardwaj, Shoma Sen, Anand Teltumbde, Gautam Navlakha, Arun Ferreira, Vernon Gonsalves, Surendra Gadling, Mahesh Raut, Sudhir Dhawale and Rona Wilson.
In a letter issued on June 16, 500 people, including film personalities like Soumitra Chatterjee, Adoor Gopalakrishnan, Naseeruddin Shah and Aparna Sen wrote: "These activists are not convicted criminals. Nor are they planning to flee the country and escape the law. We demand that they be granted bail immediately on humanitarian grounds as their lives are at risk at a time when a pandemic is raging across the country."
On May 30, Rao's wife demanded his immediate release on bail after he was hospitalised in the state-run JJ Hospital in the evening of May 28. Doctors said that Rao had complained of dizziness and had fainted for a brief period. However, he was kept in the hospital for only a period of three days.

Long Early Voting Wait Times Reported in Miami-Dade and Broward
Wait times up to 3 hours reported in Miami-Dade, 2 hours in Broward
Voters hoping to take advantage of early voting in Miami-Dade and Broward better not have plans as long wait times have been reported throughout both counties.
According to the Miami-Dade Elections Department, wait times were as high as three hours Thursday morning at at least two locations, including Coral Reef Library at 9211 Southwest 152nd Street and North Dade Regional Library at 2455 Northwest 183rd Street.
Miami-Dade Early Voting Wait Times
The shortest time reported was 10 minutes at the West Flagler Branch Library. Several other locations were reporting 1-2 hour wait times.

In Broward, times were reported as two hours or less, with the longest wait at the Tamarac Branch Library.
Broward Early Voting Wait Times
Early voting began on Oct. 27 and ends Nov. 3. Locations are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Through Wednesday, 131,910 votes were cast in Miami-Dade, according to the elections department. In Broward, 142,320 votes had been cast.
As for absentee ballots, 154,599 ballots have been returned in Miami-Dade out of 274,504 that were mailed, and 99,216 have been returned in Broward out of 223,010 requested.
"I actually came late thinking it would slow down and be less people coming in early to vote," said early voter Fernando Sanzetenea. "I think its understaffed, a little more help, a little more explanation would probably help."
"Two to three hours, I think its worth it. Vote for the right man," said Josea Rodriguez, another early voter.
Michelle Obama Getting Star Power for Help in Florida
Meanwhile, the League of Women Voters on Thursday joined a call by the chairman of Florida's Democratic Party for Gov. Rick Scott to extend early voting through Sunday following reports of record turnouts and long lines of voters at poll sites statewide.
"The League of Women Voters of Florida," state president Deirdre Macnab said, "is extremely concerned that such long waits are discouraging to voters whose schedules and or physical conditions cannot accommodate these types of delays."
Scott said Thursday night that he will not extend early voting.
"Early voting will end Saturday night," Scott told reporters at a GOP fundraiser in Newberry. "But I want everybody to get out to vote."
However, Republican Party executive director Mike Grissom said it was wrong "for one side to demand that we break the law because they feel like they are losing."
Hours before Smith's request, former House Minority Leader Dan Gelber of Miami sent a letter to Scott with the same request, reminding him former Republican governors Jeb Bush and Charlie Crist extended voting hours when it became apparent that some voter would otherwise be disenfranchised.
"Any voter in line when the polls close – during early voting and on Election Day – will be allowed to cast a ballot," said Chris Cate, spokesman for the secretary of state.
In addition to the tight race between President Barack Obama and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney for Florida's 29 electoral votes in the presidential contest, there is also a U.S. Senate contest, 11 amendments, a merit retention up-or-down on three Supreme Court justices and scores of local contests for voters to decide upon.
Florida's Republican-led Legislature reduced the number of early voting days from 14 in 2008 to eight this year, a move widely perceived as an effort to limit the Democratic voting base in the state. Obama carried Florida in 2008, but is locked in a very close race with Romney in the state, which has the largest amount of electoral votes of any of the swing states.
"It is past time for Gov. Scott to show some leadership and fix that mistake," Smith said. "This is not a Democratic or Republican issue: protecting the right of every eligible Florida voter."
The Secretary of State's Office reported Thursday that more than 3 million Floridians have already voted either by absentee ballot or at the polls during the early voting period that began last weekend. That figure included 1,298,849 Democrats, 1,239,817 Republicans and 517,914 from other affiliations.
Early voting is scheduled to end at 7 p.m. Saturday.

Matthew "Matt" Boldy (* 5. April 2001 in Milford, Massachusetts) ist ein US-amerikanischer Eishockeyspieler, der seit März 2021 bei den Minnesota Wild in der National Hockey League unter Vertrag steht und dort auf der Position des linken Flügelstürmers spielt.

Karriere
Matthew Boldy wurde in Milford geboren und wuchs im benachbarten Millis auf. Er besuchte in seiner Jugend die Dexter Southfield School und lief für deren Eishockeyteam in einer lokalen High-School-Liga auf. Zur Saison 2017/18 wurde er ins USA Hockey National Team Development Program (NTDP) aufgenommen, die zentrale Talenteschmiede des US-amerikanischen Verbandes USA Hockey. Mit den U17- und U18-Auswahlen des NTDP, die auch als Nachwuchsnationalmannschaften fungieren, nahm der US-Amerikaner in den folgenden zwei Jahren am Spielbetrieb der United States Hockey League (USHL) teil, der ranghöchsten Juniorenliga des Landes. Dort verzeichnete er in beiden Saisons einen Punkteschnitt von über 1,0 pro Spiel und galt demzufolge als eines der vielversprechendsten Talente im NHL Entry Draft 2019. Dort berücksichtigten ihn letztlich die Minnesota Wild an zwölfter Position.

Vorerst schrieb sich Boldy jedoch zur Saison 2019/20 am Boston College ein, sodass er fortan mit den "Eagles" in der Hockey East auflief, einer Liga im Spielbetrieb der National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). Als Freshman verzeichnete er 26 Scorerpunkte in 34 Partien und wurde daher ins All-Rookie Team der Hockey East gewählt. Diese Leistung steigerte er im Folgejahr deutlich auf 31 Punkte aus 22 Spielen, sodass man ihn im Hockey East First All-Star Team berücksichtigte. Außerdem gehörte er zu den zehn vorläufigen  Finalisten für den Hobey Baker Memorial Award, der den besten College-Spieler des Landes ehrt und den in der Folge Cole Caufield erhielt.

Anschließend unterzeichnete Boldy im März 2021 einen Einstiegsvertrag bei den Minnesota Wild und kam wenig später bei deren Farmteam, den Iowa Wild, in der American Hockey League (AHL) zu seinem Profidebüt. Dort begann der Flügelstürmer auch die Spielzeit 2021/22, bevor er im Januar 2022 zu seinem Einstand in der National Hockey League (NHL) kam und sich dort prompt in Minnesotas Kader etablierte. Seine Rookie-Saison beendete er mit 39 Punkten aus 47 Partien. Anschließend unterzeichnete er im Januar 2023 einen neuen Siebenjahresvertrag in Minnesota, der ihm mit Beginn der Saison 2023/24 ein durchschnittliches Jahresgehalt von sieben Millionen US-Dollar einbringen soll.

International
Auf internationaler Ebene sammelte Boldy bei der World U-17 Hockey Challenge 2017 erste Erfahrungen, bei der er mit der US-amerikanischen U17-Auswahl die Goldmedaille gewann. Im U18-Bereich nahm er anschließend an der U18-Weltmeisterschaft 2019 teil und errang dort mit dem Team die Bronzemedaille. Im weiteren Verlauf gehörte der Angreifer auch zum Aufgebot der U20-Nationalmannschaft seines Heimatlandes, die bei der U20-Weltmeisterschaft 2021 den Weltmeistertitel gewann.

Trial adjourned for activist Abdel-Fattah, 24 others
Ahram Online , Sunday 23 Nov 2014
Defendants are facing a retrial for breaking Egypt's controversial protest law
Egypt's most prominent activist Alaa Abdel-Fattah arrives outside a court that convicted 23 activists of staging an illegal demonstration and sentenced them each to three years in jail, in Cairo, Egypt, Sunday, Oct. 26, 2014 (Photo: AP)
A Cairo criminal court adjourned to Wednesday the trial of 25 Egyptian activists, including Alaa Abdel-Fattah, on charges including taking part in an illegal protest late last year, a judicial source has said.
The defendants were sentenced to 15 years in prison in June for violating a widely criticised protest law that bans demonstrations without a prior permit. The appeal of the sentence collapsed on 15 September after the presiding judge stepped down, and all the defendants were freed on bail pending a new retrial.
Abdel-Fattah was ordered back to jail on 27 October at the start of the retrial. The court also ordered that all other defendants be arrested.
During Sunday's hearing, at least three of the defendants were allowed to step out of their glass cages to address the court.
The trial was adjourned to allow the hearing of arguments from the defence, the source added.
Abdel-Fattah's defence demanded that the prosecution investigate an incident from the appeals trial in September when a home video allegedly showing Abdel-Fattah's wife belly dancing at a party was presented as evidence, arguing that it amounts to a crime of invasion in his personal life.
The defence also called for the retrieval of two laptops belonging to Abdel-Fattah and his wife as well as the latter's cell phone which were seized without a permit during the activist's arrest, on the grounds that the items are unrelated to the case.
The defendants are also accused of assaulting a policeman and using force to take his radio, inciting riots, blocking traffic and vandalising public property.
Sunday's trial session resumed the airing of video evidence from cameras at the upper house of parliament where the protest took place.
The immensity of the footage – 11 gigabybes worth of video – forced the court to extend the viewing session to Sunday, Mohamed Mahmoud, defence lawyer in the trial, said.
Abdel-Fattah, 32, was at the forefront of the uprising against long-time autocrat Hosni Mubarak in 2011. He later backed the 2013 overthrow of Islamist president Mohamed Morsi, but turned against the new authorities to protest their crackdown on dissent.
His sister, Sanaa Seif, along with 22 other defendants, was sentenced in October to three years in prison by a separate court on similar charges.
Washington said it was "deeply troubled" by the recent sentences handed down to political activists.
Since Morsi's removal, the authorities have mounted a harsh crackdown on Islamists, in which hundreds have been killed in street violence and thousands of others rounded up. Non-Islamist activists have not been spared, with dozens arrested under the 2013 protest law which rights groups have denounced as repressive.

Q: Why recursive lambda functions are throwing error when used with auto? I am trying to use recursive lambda functions with auto keyword as below.
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    auto func = []()->void{
        static int x = 0;
        cout << x << endl;
        if (x < 5) {
            func();
            x++;
        }
    };

    func();
    return 0;
}

But it is throwing compiler error as below.
main.cpp: In lambda function:
main.cpp:19:13: error: use of 'func' before deduction of 'auto'
             func();
             ^~~~

I understood that we can achieve the same with std::function. But I wanted to know why I am getting error by using 'auto'.
I went through below stack overflow questions.

*

*Can lambda functions be recursive?

*Recursive lambda functions in C++11

*Use of 'auto func(int)' before deduction of 'auto' in C++14
But I couldn't figure out why auto with lambda is throwing error in this case. Can anyone please let me know why I am getting this error?

A: The problem is not the return-type of the lambda expression. The problem is the type of the lambda itself.
Each lambda expression is a unique anonymous type.
In your code, the compiler knows that the lambda returns void, but it doesn't yet know the type of the lambda, since it has not fully parsed it yet.
To give a counter example to highlight the issue.
#include <iostream>

int main()
{
    int x;
    auto func = [&](){
        // func is going to become an int here, but the compiler does not know that yet
        // it has to parse the whole expression first.
        x = func;
        return 5;
    }(); // <-- calling the lambda and assigning the return value to func
}

A: You cannot make lambda recursive. Lambdas cannot be recursive because they don't have a name. See this: https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/lambda

an unnamed function object capable of capturing variables in scope.

Here lambda generate before initialization, thus the compiler gives you an error.
The only way to implement it in real lambda calculus is to use Y combinator. But I think that's meaningless in C++. Especially here you are not using enclosure at all.
In C++, there's another way to implement it: use std::function to replace auto, and then call the std::function rather than lambda instead.

"Greeting cards have all been sent, the Christmas rush is through.."
Now that you're finished running around like a maniac, it's time to put your feet up and enjoy spending the holiday with your family. This is the perfect thing to have on Christmas night while sitting by the fire. The aroma is inviting and it makes the whole house smell wonderful.
Pour the wine and tea into a noncorrodible saucepan. Add the honey, sugar, oranges, spices, and rosemary. Heat over low heat until barely steaming. Stir until the honey is dissolved. Remove the pan from the heat, cover, and let stand for at least 30 minutes. When ready to serve, reheat until just steaming and serve hot.
If you have leftovers, remove the oranges and rosemary, let the punch cool to room temperature, then refrigerate. Reheat gently with fresh oranges and rosemary. The punch will be a bit stronger, but still quite enjoyable.

Q: Msgpack between PHP and C++ I want to pack my class from C++ Client to PHP Server and back. but when I try to pack a PHP class and unpack it to C++ Class I got a error.
this is my code in PHP
  class maplemessage

$msg1  = new maplemessage;
$msg1->setValue();

$binpacked =  msgpack_pack($msg1);

and after I send the packed binary data  to C++ Client and try to unpack to the class
    class maplemessage {

and then I got an error named "msgpack::v1::type_error"
anyone knows what is the right way to pack and unpack a class between C++ and PHP?

A: question Solved: it is not support doing this anyway.


The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services ("CMS") issued a proposed rule, on April 10, 2015, addressing the application of the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act of 2008 ("MHPAEA") to the Medicaid and CHIP programs. The MHPAEA requires certain health insurance products, including coverage in the commercial group insurance market and ERISA plans, to offer any mental health and substance use disorder benefits covered by the plan at "parity" with medical or surgery benefits offered by the plan. Plans subject to the parity requirement may not impose financial requirements or treatment limitations on mental health or substance use disorder benefits that are more restrictive than comparable requirements that apply to medical or surgical benefits. CMS issued final regulations implementing the MHPAEA in 2013, but these regulations did not apply to governmental programs.
The MHPAEA does not always apply to benefits provided pursuant to a Medicaid state plan. However, as a result of changes made by the Affordable Care Act, when a state offers a Medicaid alternative benefit plan or ABP (previously known as a benchmark plan), the state is required to ensure that the ABP meets the requirements of parity. The proposed rule offers a detailed methodology for evaluating financial and treatment limitations applicable to mental health and substance use disorder benefits provided through ABPs to determine whether they are offered at parity with medical/surgical benefits. The proposed methodology is similar to the methodologies in the regulations implementing the MHPAEA for non-governmental plans. The MHPAEA applies directly to benefits offered through CHIP state plans, and the proposed rule describes a similar methodology for determining their compliance with the parity requirement.
While ABPs may be used for other Medicaid populations, ABPs are most notable because they are required for the adult Medicaid expansion population in states that have chosen to cover them. ABPs are also required to offer the essential health benefits defined by the Affordable Care Act, which include mental health and substance use disorder benefits. For populations not receiving an ABP, mental health benefits and substance use disorder benefits are optional Medicaid services, which may be curtailed or limited by the state, if they are offered at all.
The proposed rule also would require states to ensure that Medicaid beneficiaries who receive benefits through a Medicaid managed care plan have access to benefits that meet the requirements of parity. This requirement marks a change in CMS policy. Previously, CMS issued guidance that addressed the application of the MHPAEA to Medicaid managed care organizations and prepaid health plans, and stated that, while such plans could not impose their own policies or limitations on mental health or substance use disorder services that were not offered at parity with limitations on medical/surgical benefits, the plan would not be found in violation if the benefits offered by the plan reflect limitations set forth in the Medicaid state plan and the plan's approved contract with the state (which generally were not subject to the MHPAEA). The proposed rule would require the state to ensure that all enrollees in a Medicaid managed care plan have access to services that comply with the MHPAEA, and would modify Medicaid managed care regulations to allow the plan to be reimbursed for benefits not covered under the state plan to the extent necessary to do so. The state would be required to document compliance with this rule within 18 months of the effective date of the final rule.
The proposed rule also addresses states that provide mental health benefits and/or substance use disorder benefits through a separate delivery system. At the time a state submits a Medicaid managed care plan contract for review and approval to CMS, the state must provide documentation of how the MHPAEA is met for enrollees of the plan, even if the enrollees receive mental health or substance use disorder benefits through a delivery system other than through the network of the plan.
Comments on the proposed rule are due by June 9, 2015.

ELLE: OK, secret addresses: Where do you get your hair done?
SW: Well I do my hair myself usually. I kind of don't really get a chance to go and sit down to have my hair done in a salon. I have someone come to my studio to dye it while I'm workng, she's a bit of a lifesaver. It's got sort of mousey blonde naturally, but when I was pregnant it went much darker weirdly.
SW: I go to WAH nails, I like a bit of nail art.
ELLE: Do you do your own make up too?
SW: Yeah, I like products! I use a Smashbox concealor and Benefit Highbeam - I can't live without Highbeam - and Nars Bronzer in Laguna. That, and a Bobbi Brown Mascara is all I really use day-to-day.
SW: I don't usually wear much make up at all, but if I have an event or something I would always go for lips. I don't know what the shade name is but there is an amazing dark pink from illamasqua that is the best lipstick ever. (A light google image search of Sophia in Lipstick suggests it is Eurydice). I also love Revlon nail varnishes, they are amazing.

SB: Well the title is Freak Like Me, so it's kind of a circus, carnival influence. Every collection always seems to start off with Gwen Stefani. Because everyone Googles for references now so there are these same images that get rehashed and overused, so it's important to draw from my own experiences because these are entirely unique to me. I spent all of my teenage years wanting to be Gwen, so in a slightly stalkerish way, that's where I always go back to. So this time I was thinking of the No Doubt days, and there were a lot of black and white optic prints, which then kind of evolved into circus, which then went down the Cirque de Soleil route.
ELLE: What 3 essentials get you through the shows?
1. I love beetroot juice, is started drinking it when I was pregnant, and it's meant to be good for your brain too.
2. Obviously coffee. We usually try to take 15 or 20 minute breaks when we can, so we'll go to this little café called Ruby's, around the corner from the office.
3. Hot food. Same cafe. They sort us out with something special because we always get there after everything else has run out!
SW: I have a mini purse spray from Jo Malone that was given to me as a present and I love it. English Pear & Fresia.
ELLE: Finally, your at home hair regime?
SW: I always need a serum or shine spray, because I have a baby, so I tend to just get out the shower and leave my hair. It's naturally quite wavy so I leave it, then it turns into frizz, then I just put a bit of shine spray on it and it's back to nice waves. The Toni & Guy Moisturising Shine Spray is amazing. I am also obsessed with big bows in my hair. Johnny Loves Rosie are the best, I have bought their hair accessories since I was a teenager.

Q: Visual Studio has insufficient privileges to debug this process. To debug this process, Visual Studio must be run as an administrator I have developed a Windows service and this is service is running on my local computer under my account. When I try to debug this service by attaching this as a process in Visual Studio 2008 I get

Unable to attach to the process. Visual Studio has insufficient privileges to debug this process. To debug this process, Visual Studio must be run as an administrator.

I have logged in to my system as administrator and so when VS 2008 is launched it is running as administrator, not sure why I get this error. I am using Windows XP Pro sp3

A: I know this is old but I was having the same problem in VS2015. Turns out the only problem was that my code/solution was stored under my user documents folder which has the little padlock icon on it. I think that means those files were not available to the VS debug processes. Moving it to a less restricted folder fixed the problem. Hope this helps someone else - Oh and my first post on here!

A: If you're using Windows XP, the local security policy of the PC may be restricting non-administrators from running debuggers.  By default, only administrators can debug.
Administrative tools -> Local Security Policy -> Local Policies -> User Rights Assignment -> "Debug programs"

A: Sounds like a couple of different things.  First, check what user the process is running under, most likely admin or a domain admin.  Change that to something less priviledged.
Also, it might be that you are connected to a domain and the domain admins have neutered the local administrator priviledges.  In that case you need to get the IT department to fix this.

A: Spoulson is correct, unless you have the SeDebugPrivilege in your logon token, you can't debug a process running as a service. To check, I use procexp.exe from the SysInternals suite by double clicking the Visual Studio process and checking the Security tab. On the bottom you will see all privileges you have been granted. They start with a "Se" prefix.
Another thought would be to ensure you have all the JIT (Just In Time), debugger settings enabled under the Tools->Options->Debugger menu option in VS (Visual Studio for those who don't know).

Tunes for Hymns of 13+ Lines
It's been a while since I continued the thread about hymn tunes used in 20th-century anglophone Lutheran hymnals (whew). I began it with this post, which contains a helpful list of abbreviations. I plucked a few of the low-hanging fruit first: tunes for hymns with two- or three-line stanzas. And now I'm going to skip to the other end of the metrical index and knock off those tunes with stanzas 13 or more lines in length - of which there not very many.
A couple outliers...
But first... A little housekeeping. In my posts on two- and three-line hymn tunes, I neglected to mention two irregular specimens which may or may not fall into those categories, partly because my metrical index of the relevant hymn-books lumped them under such headings as "PM" (peculiar meter) or "Irr." (irregular meter), without bothering to count their number of lines per stanza. I've since updated my index to show that. But there was another reason these two tunes slipped by me when I was writing those posts: It's unclear what "number of lines per stanza" category they belong in. To explain this problem, let's look at the tunes.
Granton
This tune by Richard Hillert (1923-2010) was set to the Jaroslav Vajda hymn "Amid the world's bleak wilderness" in LBW, LW, and CW. No tune has ever better deserved the "Irr." meter designation, since for four stanzas it is a three-line-per-stanza hymn, and only the last stanza changes to a two-line variant. It's a weirdly structured piece of music, with a tepid mood that seems out of step with Vajda's text. I'm not sure, but I doubt this hymn is often sung outside academic and/or town-gown settings.
Christe, du Lamm Gottes
This arguably three-line-per-stanza hymn tune comes from Johann Bugenhagen's 1528 Braunschweig Kirchenordnung. It is a numbered hymn in ALH, TLH, and LBW, and it also appears in the liturgical sections of many American Lutheran hymnals (I didn't note which ones, but I think they include at least LHy, TLH, LW, CW, ELHy, and LSB), set with some rhythmic variations to a three-stanza translation of the Agnus Dei: "O Christ, Thou Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world, have mercy upon us," stanza 1 and 2; "O Christ, Thou Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world, grant us Thy peace," stanza 3. ALH's translation begins "Lamb of God, O Jesus," and the melodic setting is adapted accordingly. LW's liturgical arrangement does unnecessary violence to this tune, raising the middle stanza by a whole step. Some books include an optional, fancy setting of the Amen after the last stanza. It is such a familiar chorale setting of the ancient liturgical canticle that many present-day Lutherans probably don't realize it's a hymn paraphrase, and mistake it for the Agnus itself - though, to be fair, it's a pretty transparent paraphrase of it. But believe it or not, it's a hymn, and a precious, indispensible part of the Lutheran church's hymnody, simple as it is. Helmut Walcha, for one composer, has given this hymn-tune the honor it deserves by making it the theme of a beautiful chorale prelude.
Some super-sized hymn tunes
And now, to the nitty-gritty: hymn-tunes that, judged according to the number of lines per stanza they were written to accommodate, are objectively huge. To put these tunes in perspective, I have curated 26 tunes for 12-line-stanza hymns, but only half that number (13), total, for all stanza structures of 13 lines or more. When you think of a Lutheran chorale that has a lengthy-stanza structure, the two examples that come to mind are probably the Queen and King of Chorales, Philip Nicolai's Wie schön leuchtet and Wachet auf; but they have only 11 and 12 lines respectively. Beyond that, we ascend into a rarefied atmosphere: a tiny bracket of relatively massive pieces, in the context of hymn-tunes, which are after all a miniature form of music. We're in a realm of such unusually, idiosyncratically lengthy poetic and melodic stanza-structures that there ceases to be any point in keeping count of the number of syllables per line, as we can safely stick an "Irr." or a "PM" in the meter slot, and we recognize that these tunes exist to serve exactly one hymn-text each. For some reason, this lofty peak of hymnody seems to be inhabited, at least in Lutheran books, mostly by historically and spiritually significant Lutheran chorales.
Herzlich lieb hab ich dich
The only hymn-tune I have indexed with 13 phrases, this melody attributed to Matthias Gastritz (1571) was published in Bernhard Schmid's Orgeltablatur-Buch, Strasbourg, 1577. It has been wedded from the first to Martin Schalling's beautiful hymn "Lord, Thee I love with all my heart," written in 1569. The pairing appears, with some rhythmic alterations of the tune and different translations of Schalling's text, in at least ELHb, LHy, TLH, LBW, CW, ELHy, LHA, and LW. It is one of those hymns that I have sometimes heard sung, loudly and with deep emotion, by a group of people gathered around a piano at a social gathering of Lutheran churchmen (and women). Its final stanza alone makes it an excellent alternative to the hackneyed choice of "How Great Thou Art" or "What a Friend We Have in Jesus" as a funeral hymn.
Gott der Vater, wohn uns bei
This hymn-tune, which can be described in metrical-index shorthand as "7s. 14l." (7 syllables x 14 lines), to save the trouble of typing a row of 14 sevens, was based on a 14th century melody. It appeared in roughly its current form in Johann Walther's Geystliche gesangk Buchlein, Wittenberg, 1524 - one of the first Lutheran hymnals ever. It is set to the hymn "God the Father, be our Stay," by an unknown German author, in at least ELHb, TLH, LHA, LBW, LW, CW, and ELHy. Historically, this hymn takes the form of three one-line stanzas, each addressing the same 13-line refrain to a successive Person of the Trinity. Lately, the fashion has been introduced of replacing this threefold structure with a one-off, "Triune God, oh, be our Stay" version, to save the time spent repeating all those phrases of refrain. I think this does the hymn a disservice, since it then becomes a one-stanza affair, thus giving the congregation less time to grow familiar with it. Also, I think it's a funny way to transmit a worship tradition, altering a hymn that confesses the Triune God by praying to each divine Person by name into one that only says "Triune God." The sacrifice of just a bit of time to drive the lesson home is not incompatible with the idea of worship. (By the way, I used this tune with an original hymn in my book Useful Hymns.)
Mitten wir im Leben sind
This "Irr." bruiser, adapted from 13th-century material, also made its debut in its present form in Johann Walther's 1524 Wittenberg hymnal, and it has been set to some translation of Luther's burial hymn "In the midst of earthly life" in at least LHy, TLH, LBW, LW, CW, ELHy. (My notes, which were compiled in the last century, don't reflect more recent developments, but I know it's also in at least LSB1.) It could be repeated as a theme with many of these early Lutheran hymns, that their representation in some American Lutheran hymnals, but not others, can be interpreted almost as a litmus test of how authentically Lutheran (in the orthodox, confessional sense, as opposed to pietistic) the church bodies were that published them. Interestingly, Luther reached across the Bosporus in this hymn, borrowing a bit of Eastern liturgy ("Holy and righteous God! Holy and mighty God! Holy and all-merciful Savior!" etc.; based on the Trisagion) and using it as a refrain. It's a good, serious, appropriately fearful (in the faithful sense) hymn for the occasion of a Christian's death and burial; and it has also been used as the basis of some good Organ preludes, such as (again) one by Walcha.
Kingly Love
Except when I played it myself in private (and I rather liked it), I have only ever heard this hymn performed once - at a church where I was doing field work as a seminarian - and it was a mortifying train-wreck that I will never forget. The tune is by Richard Hillert, composer of Granton; the words that go with it, but only in LW and CW as far as I know, are a hymn about Jesus' parable of the feast, "O kingly love" by Martin H. Franzmann (1907-76). I was so discouraged by the prospects of Franzmann's hymn ever catching on that, at some point during my seminary career, I wrote my own alternate tune in what I thought was a more accessible style; its title is COME TO THE FEAST, and it's in Useful Hymns (for which I had to pay good money to get permission to reprint the text). Here's hoping fair use lets me quote the hymn tune, just to illustrate another direction a composer might go in setting Franzmann's frankly difficult-to-set-to-music poem. I can see, perhaps, why it wouldn't catch on very well; though I still think it's kind of neat.
Kyrie, Gott Vater
This German adaptation of the 9th century plainchant Kyrie, fons bonitatis, was set to a German hymn of c. 1541, itself adapted from a 12th-century Latin hymn, in which the ancient Greek liturgical canticle "Kyrie eleison, Christe eleison, Kyrie eleison" (Lord have mercy, Christ have mercy, Lord have mercy) is "troped" with additional lyrics, addressing each Person of the Trinity, inserted between the Kyrie/Christe and the Eleison. Where is it found in American Lutheranism? In this instance, TLH, LBW, LW, CW, and ELHy passed the 20th-century litmus test. In our century, I find, both ELW2 and LSB also have this hymn. It could be used as a hymn for Trinity Sunday, a hymn for a day of penitence and prayer (e.g. in a time of disaster or conflict), or even, if you're not one of those snobs who abhors the idea of a "chorale mass," an occasional replacement for the liturgical Kyrie. There are Reformation-era chorale paraphrases that could similarly replace each part of the Ordinary of the Mass, apparently for that purpose, and some Lutheran pastors and cantors think of them as part of the "kernel" of historic Lutheran hymnody every Lutheran congregation should learn to know and love - and I count myself one of them (with the understanding that I'm neither a pastor nor a cantor at the moment; but I've been both in the past and am no less qualified to be one now3). OK. There are some sentences you just have to back out of. But I won't back out of this: If you can't imagine singing this hymn in church, you do not know Lutheranism the way I do.
Christ ist erstanden
This Dorian-mode melody dates back to a medieval Latin plainchant. It appears with some translation of the 12th-century German Easter hymn "Christ is arisen" in ALH, TLH, LHA, LBW, LW, and CW (again, naming only 20th century books). A rhythmically altered and abbreviated version of this tune, titled Christus ist erstanden is used in ELHb, CSB, TLH, SBH, CW, and ELHy with Michael Weisse's 1531 Easter hymn "Christ the Lord is risen again." With more extensive adaptation, it becomes the hymn-tune Christ lag in Todesbanden, which is wedded to an Easter hymn by Martin Luther. Again, if you find the Dorian mode sounds too sad to be used on Easter Sunday, you need to spend more time with hymns like these, becoming better acquainted with the confidence and strength of Reformation hymnody.
Salve festa dies
This tune by British composer Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872-1958) may be construed as having either 12 or 16 distinct lines of melody, depending on how many repeats of the refrain you count; in the "Hail thee, festival day" version of Fortunatus' oft-translated sixth-century hymn, the refrain begins and ends the piece, and is also repeated between the two strains of stanza melody. The text is really organized into four-line stanzas (or eight, if you count the refrain as part of each stanza), but because RVW saw fit to alternate between two different melodies for the stanzas (always going back to the same refrain), the whole complicated mess arguably lands here, in the cloud-cuckoo land of almost impracticably long hymn tunes. The impracticality, or impracticability, of this particular specimen is a legitimate concern, given the way the music weaves back and forth between these strains. It may possibly put this hymn in the realm of "tunes never to be heard outside a campus or town-gown church." Other versions of Fortunatus' hymn, set to simpler music, include "Welcome, happy morning." Nevertheless, this tune is deployed in LBW, LW (three times), CW, and ELHy. Once the congregation masters it, it could get a lot of use, since there are versions of it for Easter, Ascension, and Pentecost.
Jesaia dem Propheten
This hymn by Luther expands on the liturgical Sanctus by paraphrasing practically the whole of Isaiah 6, in one long stanza whose structure could be described, in that metrical-index shorthand I mentioned earlier, as "10s. 16l." The melody never repeats a phrase, except during that three-phrase region where the seraphim are singing "Holy is God, the Lord of Sabaoth" over and over. So, it could be a tricky piece to learn, for the same reason I said singing "Triune God, oh, be our Stay" might be detrimental to the congregation becoming familiar with Gott der Vater, wohn uns bei. But good things are often worth a bit of work. Passing the historic-Lutheran litmus test with this hymn are TLH, LBW, LW, CW, and ELHy.
In dir ist Freude
This 1591 tune by Giovanni Giacomo Gastoldi is set to Johann Lindemann's 1598 hymn "In Thee is gladness" in at least LHA, LBW, LW, CW, and ELHy. It is also of interest to organists as the theme of a spectacular prelude in J.S. Bach's Orgelbüchlein. Unlike many of these other large-scale, 16th-century chorales, it zips along lightly, with short phrases, a tight and repetitive structure, and the popular appeal of a bouncy, major-key tune. Being a comparative lightweight, among historic German hymns, may be what kept it out of earlier hymnals that were focused on preserving more serious material, but I think it's the kind of piece that could help overcome some people's aversion to 16th century hymnody.
Victimæ paschali
This haunting 11th century Easter hymn, words ("Christians to the paschal Victim") and music attributed to Wipo of Burgundy, appears in LBW. As if this isn't massive enough, LW combines it with alternating sections of "Christ is arisen" (Christ ist erstanden), our 16-line friend above. They're both single-stanza hymns, though, and the resulting "celebration" (to use LW terminology) is a very effective musical and textual mash-up that could involve antiphonal responses between some combination of congregation, choir, liturgist, cantor, soloist(s), or groups within the congregation. The Victimæ is super-chantlike, though, so if your choristers are the type who will go off in a huff, complaining that you're trying to convert them to Greek Orthodoxy, you might have some educating to do before you use this. (EDIT: It bears noting, this is more of a solo or choir number than a really congregation-oriented hymn.)
LBW pairs this tune by Herbert G. Draesel, Jr. (b. 1940) with the hymn "They cast their nets in Galilee" by William Alexander Percy (1885-1942). My notes on this hymn, written back in the 1990s, describe it as "rugged, folkish, ballad-like ... a strange but interesting poem on discipleship, set to a quirky, folk-like American minstrel tune. It isn't congregational and it may not be churchly." I don't have LBW handy at the moment, so I can't offer much improvement on this impression, other than to note the same hymn occurs in other denominations' hymnals (such as the Episcopal Church's Hymn-Book 1982) set to a tune in CM (common meter, 8.6.8.6.). This suggests the Draesel tune's fourfold repetition of an 8.6.8.6.6. syllable pattern involves (1) cramming four of Percy's stanzas into each go-round, and (2) repeating every fourth line. I can't think of one thing about this tune that would make me choose it over any randomly selected CM tune.
Drumroll, please...
Herr Gott, dich loben wir
Martin Luther's tune, adapted from plainchant material for his own metrical paraphrase of the Te Deum ("Lord God, Thy praise we sing"), tops everything with 21 distinct phrases of melody, not even counting the repeats, of which there are many. Several pairs or groups of phrases are meant to be sung as many as six or seven times before going on to the next strain. Also, the whole thing is supposed to be sung responsively between two vocal forces (liturgist vs. congregation, choir vs. cantor, left side vs. right side, etc., the possibilities are practically endless); they join up for some "tutti" passages now and then, particularly at the end. This magnificent giant has only made the cut in one American Lutheran hymnal, ELHy. The version I know best was published in the LCMS
Worship Supplement of 1969, still being used (at least for this one hymn) during the late 1990s in the chapel of the seminary I attended at that time. The church where I did my vicarage (like a one-year, supervised internship before a final year of seminary study and ordination) also made use of that version, so I'm very fond of it and know it well. Later, during a short period when I was part of a church body that used ELHy, I attended a pastor's conference at which that book's version was used, and the differences threw me off-balance. But I would still urge whoever puts out the next big Lutheran pew book to be sure to include this piece, and the congregations that use that book to make the effort to learn Luther's Te Deum. It hangs over the edge of what can usefully be described as a hymn, but being part of a group singing it is a really unusual and (given time to learn it) powerful experience. For an absorbing musical mediation on this hymn, I would recommend J.S. Bach's chorale harmonization. Meantime, I maintain a pile of 1969 supplements, as well as an accompanist's edition of the book, just to be prepared if the chance ever arises of using it in worship or group devotions. Besides that, I can only think of about two things in WS that give the book particular value for me. So, that's how cool this hymn is.
1The Lutheran Service Book (Concordia Publishing House, 2006), the current LCMS hymnal.
2Evangelical Lutheran Worship (Augsburg Fortress, 2006), the current ELCA hymnal.
3...except for not being on a church body's clergy roster at present.

Track 1: Adrian Cosby describes the history of his mother's family, the Hamiltons of Roundwood. The family did not agree with the outcome of the 1919 election and he considers that their thinking had been affected by the outcome of WWI. He remembers his mother, Enid, talking in later life about the nationalists and not knowing them other than as gunmen. He recalls that his great-grandfather, Robert, feared that matters would go the same way as Russia did in 1917. He speaks about the ability of Lloyd George and how matters might have been better in both Ireland and with Hitler if he had still been in power. Track 2: Adrian talks about the political background to the growth of resentment against the landlord class in Ireland in the 19th century, following the importation of Indian corn and cheap wheat from America. He makes the point that it was not so much the tenants who were in a poor situation but the labourers. His great-grandfather's mother, Emily Ashworth, was very wealthy and she is said to have fed starving people from the Slieve Bloom mountains on the front lawn at Stradbally Hall (or possibly at Roundwood). At various stages during the famine, Adrian says, there was very little food, or there was food but no money to pay for it. He reads from a document dating from the famine period and he examines various maps and old rental records, reading out some of the tenants' names.He examines the 1843 rental and notes that many of the rents were in arrears. He reads from W. E. Vaughan's Landlords and Tenants in Ireland about the period between the famine and the land wars, and interestingly, he points out that the Cosbys did not avail of the Wyndham Act. He believes that the Journal of the Irish House of Commons should be studied for the background to the Presbyterian influence on the 1798 Rebellion.


Dayum, that sounds like it sucked, and I'm sure the in-person experience was worse. Like something out of a modern Charles Dickens.

Put the pedal to the metal on Sunday, June 4, for the 2017 UPAF Ride for the Arts.
Whether you're a lifelong resident or a recent transplant, you've probably been to at least one performing arts program in the city. Organizations like Bel Canto, the Florentine Opera and Skylight Music Theatre have enriched the lives of many in Milwaukee over the years. And now the United Performing Arts Fund (UPAF) is calling on Cream City residents to give back to the Milwaukee creative community.
On Sunday, June 4, the non-profit hosts the UPAF Ride for the Arts, the nation's largest one-day recreational bike ride to support the performing arts.
Riders interested in registering can opt to participate in one of five routes, ranging in length from five to 70 miles. Fees also vary – from $35 to $75 – depending on your age and signup time.
The registration costs will be used to fund performing arts programming. And anyone who registers for the event will be entered to win free tickets from Southwest Airlines and will have an opportunity to rub elbows with three Milwaukee Bucks representatives co-chairing the ride: Peter Feigin, Bucks president; Craig Robinson, vice president of player and organizational development and Desmond Mason, former player.
The Johnson Financial Group has also promised to match pledges that participants raise up to $25,000. And Bublr is offering to loan a bike, free of charge, to anyone who'd like to ride but doesn't own one of their own.
Interested in participating? You can learn more on the UPAF Ride for the Arts event page.


With over 40 years experience in the tyre industry, we have the knowledge and expertise your business or organisation requires. Our service is geared towards giving today's modern transport operator a quality service, peace of mind, reduced downtime and most importantly value for money.
Our range of services can be built around your business to give you the complete tyre management package which will help to control and reduce your tyre spend by ensuring that you get the most out of your investment in rubber right across your fleet.
The main advantages of the Off Vehicle Wheel Balancer are that you are able to static and dynamically balance a truck wheel and rim. We also have a closer inspection of the tyre and rim to look for any problems that may be causing the out of balance. We can generally handle tyres up to 46" and rims up to 26" diameter and from 4.5" to 18" wide.
To enquire about balancing email jamie@magowantyres.co.uk.
As tyres have been improved to give better handling and directional stability, they have also developed a much lower tolerance to misalignment. Maintaining correct alignment of all the wheels on trucks and trailers is critical if you are to achieve good results from your tyres as well as optimum fuel economy.
To enquire about an alignment email jamie@magowantyres.co.uk.
The cost of replacing damaged tyres that still have usable tread can seriously impact your bottom line. We provide a comprehensive repair service for all agricultural, light and heavy goods vehicles to help reduce unnecessary costs. All our puncture repairs are carried out to British Standard BS159.
To enquire about a repair email jamie@magowantyres.co.uk.
Professional tyre regrooving is a sensible option that prolongs the life of a tyre, making it even more economical. In fact, regrooving pays off twofold: firstly, because you can simply drive the tyre for longer, and secondly because the lower profile thickness reduces rolling resistance, which in turn reduces fuel consumption.
To enquire about tyre regrooving email jamie@magowantyres.co.uk.
Here at Magowan Tyres we work with you to maximise mileage per tyre and fuel economy, as close monitoring of your tyre spend saves your business money in the long-term.

We provide the information and advice to give you a clear understanding of the implications of the right and wrong decisions. We can help protect your business from unwise spend through one to one consultations and analysis of your fleet needs.
We will work together with you to form a well-informed team who can ascertain if and where your business is exposed. A clear plan can then be formulated, checked, checked again and then implemented. The aim will always be to reduce operating costs where applicable without compromising safety, to have measures in place to reduce downtime to an absolute minimum and judge where further costs can be saved within the fleet.
Managing a fleet to prevent issues before they arise is a key element. Inspections, strict safety checks and analysis of everyday usage allows for potential issues to remain just that. While reactive management is needed when certain situations arise, every effort will be made to reduce the requirement.
We will work with you all the way through from creation to refinement to execution of a bespoke and comprehensive tyre management system that's exclusive to you and your business needs.

Juan Manuel Santos will meet presidential predecessors, Alvaro Urbie and Andreas Pastrana, to discuss peace with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia A glimmer of hope (FARC).
Uribe had condemned a proposed truce as too lenient, throwing the process into disarray and giving the former president a major victory in Sunday's referendum.
Santos tweeted that he invited his predecessors "to dialogue ... in a constructive spirit".
In Sunday's referendum, just over 50.2% of voters rejected the government's hard-fought peace deal with FARC. The result contradicted opinion polls and shocked Santos who has staked his legacy to the peace process, AFP reported.
With both sides now scrambling to find a solution, Santos announced on Tuesday that the ceasefire deal will be extended until October 31.
"I hope by then we can finalize the agreement an end to the conflict," he said. However, Wednesday's talks between Santos, Uribe and Pastrana will determine whether the current peace accord can still be rescued.
Santos has a complicated history with former president Uribe, who has staked his own legacy to his fight against FARC. The current executive had served as Uribe's defense minister from 2006 to 2009, leading a major army offensive against the nominally Marxist rebels.
Uribe had campaigned for Santos in his 2010 election campaign.
The president shifted gears after succeeding Uribe, opening peace talks with FARC, leading his former boss to brand him a traitor. Uribe and his rightwing allies have also claimed that the peace deal would grant the rebels lenient sentences with no jail time for crimes committed during the conflict and allow them to relaunch as a political party. Government soldiers would have received similar leniency.
The erstwhile allies are thought to have last met in early 2011, after Santos had already initiated peace talks with FARC in secret. Santos repeatedly offered to meet his rightwing predecessor after formal talks with the rebels opened in Cuba in November 2012, but no sit-down materialized.
The government and rightwing paramilitaries have battled FARC for half a century in a conflict that has left more than 218,000 people dead, over 45,000 missing and about 5 million displaced.
Pastrana, the president from 1998 to 2002, also opposed the peace deal, though his Conservative party had campaigned for a "yes" vote in the referendum. The truce had also been supported by rightwing leaders in the United States.
On Tuesday, the government's lead negotiators, Humberto de la Calle and Sergio Jaramillo, returned to a Havana convention center to meet their FARC counterparts and discuss the results. Even "no" voters say they want an end to war and the government and FARC have kept their ceasefire.
