Platform style guide
What is Platform?
Platform is a knowledge sharing facility, online news source and information portal for building sustainability and innovation across Greater Manchester.
Our content mixes the highest quality writing with great visuals. The tone of voice is practical but with a lightness of touch and, except in extremis, jargon-free.
Where the editorial context is permissive, the editorial styling will be less so!
All pieces on Platform will be well written, as short as is practical and punchy, peppered with links to more information and written for as broad an audience as possible.
Who is Platform for?
Platform is aimed primarily at decision makers in business, government and the third sector but will also be designed and written in a form that will bridge the gap between those who 'govern' the city region and more than three million people who live or work here.
When writing for Platform, please consider your reader to be a well-informed, engaged individual who may have a professional interest, or passion for, sustainability.
How to pitch a story
Please have a look at the current stories and postings on Platform to get a feel for the content that we're seeking to include. Recent postings have included:
Introductory articles to city strategies, with a PDF of the strategy attached as a download;
News reports on launches or initiatives with a sustainability theme;
More in-depth articles about larger-scale projects or programmes;
Essays from key individuals reflecting their views on sustainability and the city; and
Academic essays and contributions, sometimes introductory with a PDF attached.
If you have something that you would like to see included on Platform then please email steve@creativeconcern.com with a brief synopsis, after which a brief and deadline will be agreed. Please include the subject of the proposed article in the subject line of your email.
Format and Layout
Your article should:
Be supplied provided as a .txt, .rtf or .doc file, in font sized 12 with no headers, footers or page numbers included.
The only formatting to be included is bold for the title, first intro paragraph and any subheads you use. Please also include any hyperlinks (web addresses) in brackets, alongside the word you would like the link to be connected to.
Copy lengths will be agree beforehand but it is worth noting that existing articles on Platform vary considerably in length and that if it is warranted, longer articles (e.g. 1,000 words or more) will be accepted.
Your contact details should be included on the article or in an accompanying email, and if this is your first submission for Platform please include a short biography and photograph of yourself, using the other contributor profiles as a style guide.
A few rules:
"A scrupulous writer", said George Orwell, "in every sentence that he writes will ask himself at least four questions, thus: What am I trying to say? What words will express it? What image or idiom will make it clearer? Is this image fresh enough to have an effect? And he will probably ask himself two more: Could I put it more shortly? Have I said anything that is avoidably ugly?"
With this in mind, keep the language simple and use plain English, not convoluted, flowery phrases. These makes sentences clumsy, put people off and often obscure the point you're trying to make.
Keep it short – if one word will do, use one word.
Make sure your paragraphs aren't too long as well – think 4/5 sentences as the maximum.
Some articles will suit a more informal, conversational style, others will need to adopt a more serious tone – it's your call. But make sure the copy is engaging and avoid clichés, similes and metaphors unless these are used sparingly for a specific stylistic reason.
Please go easy on bullet points and lists; only use if necessary.
Try and avoid the passive voice. 'A hit B' describes the event more concisely than 'B was hit by A'.
When you express opinions, do not simply make assertions. The aim is not just to tell readers what you think, but to persuade them by using arguments, reasoning and evidence.
Some copy conventions
Abbreviations/Acronyms: Unless it's universally known, such as the BBC or TUC, then in the first instance, spell out the term in full, with the abbreviation/acronym in brackets, ie the Association of Greater Manchester Authorites (AGMA)
Americanisms: Don't use them, stick with the British. Computer program is an exception, as are proper nouns – World Trade Center; US Defense Department
Ampersand (&): Only use when it's part of a proper name e.g. The Department of Energy & Climate Change (DECC)
Capital letters: Avoid using too many – reserve them for the start of sentences and proper nouns. Job titles should be in lower case, ie leader of the council, managing director, prime minister etc
Compound adjectives: Compound adjectives should be connected with hyphens eg 'the densely-populated suburb of Manchester'.
Contractions: Contractions such as 'don't',' isn't' or 'can't' can help to convey a friendly and conversational tone of voice, so use them wherever it seems natural
Dates: Day, month, year in that order, with a comma after the month eg 15 May, 2013. Don't use 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc
Use a forward slash when listing years in reports or titles eg 2006/07. Do not put a space on either side of the forward slash. Do not use an apostrophe for decades, except when using the possessive form eg the station opened in the 1960s, but it is a 1960s' station
Numbers: In body text, write out numbers from one to nine, and use figures from 10 upwards
Use 'm' and 'bn' for sums of money and measurable quantities eg £10bn; 1bn litres of water. However, spell out for people and as countable nouns eg three billion users; 10 million tickets.
Do not include a space between the number and the unit eg £20m, £10bn
Use % not per cent or pc.
Quotation marks: Use double quotation marks "-". If a quote runs on longer than one paragraph, include quotation marks at the beginning of each subsequent paragraph but only at the end of the final paragraph. Place full stops and commas inside quotes when they are complete sentences, otherwise place them outside.
Associated files and downloads
Please submit alongside your article any associated PDFs or downloads which are referred to in the article (for example a new study or report that is being launched).
Tagging articles
Please include at the end of your article the current Platform thematic 'tags' which would be appropriate for your article (e.g. buildings, energy or society) and if you feel that the scope of your article is not covered in the current themes, indicate any new thematic tags you would like to see considered. When tagging an article please try not to select all the tags, just two or three.
Photography and illustration
We are aiming to make Platform a highly visual and attractive website, notable for the quality of its imagery. If you have imagery available to accompany your story, please submit it alongside your story for consideration but please ensure that you have the rights or permissions required to use the image in question. Please include image descriptions and credits with images (photographer/agency - e.g. developments like this one could soon be part of the city's landscape (Joe Bloggs/JSR).
References and footnotes
If you need to include footnotes or references please follow the style set in this article.
If you have any questions over style, tone of voice or submitting articles to platform please email steve@creativeconcern.com.

Low, skirt-friendly top tube = strong and rigid step through frame design.
Frame geometry allows for a wide range of rider proportion from 5′ to 6'7″.
Triple beams support a stable cargo area that can carry up to 400 lbs when parked or rolling.
Large 29″ and 24″ wheels make irregular road surfaces tolerable.
Design can accommodate a wide variety of modern components including belt drives and e-assist.
Removable, reclaimed mahogany cargo bed designed to accommodate a variety of cargo carriers for family transportation, business or recreational use.
Dyno Hub generated LED light system does not require batteries and has a 5 minute run time when stopped.
Jamie Nichols and Phillip Ross (founders and co-owners of Metrofiets, LLC) are inspired by the "long john" style of bikes produced over the last 70 years, as well as bicycles made in the USA during the 1930s, '40s and '50s. While they honor the past, they like new stuff too – which is why they use modern components and push the envelope by employing modern materials and manufacturing processes. The result – lighter, faster, sexier cargo bikes.
Metrofiets cargo bikes are made by hand in the Pacific Northwest from aircraft-grade, U.S.-made steel. The bikes feature unique geometry, lightweight step-through frames and 24-inch front wheels, giving them a sporty, responsive ride while also carrying up to 400 lbs/181kg of rider or cargo. The bikes are jitter-free, easy to ride and stable while loading or unloading. They accommodate a wide range of cargo beds, boxes or vending modules, plus modern components such as belt drives and electric assist.
Metrofiets has invited Tony Batcheller of Tonic Fabrication; Aaron and Matt Hulme of Suppenkuche; Wade Beauchamp of Vulture Cycles; and Stefan Paszke of Bespoke Cycles to join them in developing, building and riding the 2011 entry for Team Metrofiets.
Lighter, faster, sexier cargo bikes.


We're snowed under, inundated, not quite at breaking point but steam has been seen coming out of some of our ears (a few times) so we need your help.
We need a Jack (or Jill) of all trades, master of some and the willingness to master all, and some more.
As you can see there's so much to do. The role would be perfect for someone looking to join a fun, growing, entrepreneurial culture, with banter sometimes a little close to the mark, a team of great (big) personalities on an exciting journey of high growth and performance.
If this mammoth list doesn't phase you and you can rate yourself at least an 8 across most of the above then you're halfway there. We look forward to meeting you.

The Municipal Elections Act, 1996 requires all municipalities and local boards to establish a Compliance Audit Committee before October 1 of an election year. For the 2018 Municipal Election, the Township of Adjala-Tosorontio, the Town of Bradford West Gwillimbury, the Township of Essa, the Town of Innisfil and the Town of New Tecumseth have established a joint committee known as the South Simcoe Joint Compliance Audit Committee.
The role of the joint committee is to review and consider compliance audit applications received by an elector who believes that a candidate or registered third party advertiser has contravened a provision of the Municipal Elections Act relating to election campaign finances.
The joint committee is also responsible for reviewing reports submitted by the Town Clerk with respect to any contributor who appears to have contravened any of the contribution limits to a candidate's or registered third party's election campaign.
receive and consider the report from the Town Clerk and decide whether to commence a legal proceeding against a contributor for an apparent contravention.
Any eligible elector who believes on reasonable grounds that a candidate or registered third party advertiser has contravened a provision of the Municipal Elections Act relating to election campaign finance may submit an application for a compliance audit.
All requests for a compliance audit must be made on the applicable form (see Documents at right) and submitted to the Town Clerk. The committee does not receive applications to audit school board trustee campaigns; those applications must be submitted to the secretary of the applicable school board. There is no fee for submitting an application.

UPDATED: The Southern Co-operative to install its first CO2 system
By R744.com team, Jan 29, 2013, 11:18 • 3 minute reading
The Southern Co-operative, which has 120 shops in the South East of England, will install its first chiller cabinets using CO2 as a coolant, in a landmark store planned for Bagshot Road, in Chobham Surrey, UK. The UK has seen significant investment in CO2 with over 260 CO2 transcritical refrigeration installations across the country. UPDATE: The CO2-based installation saves Southern Co-operative over 69 tonnes
Since the first CO2 installation in Swansea in 2006, the numbers of CO2 systems in UK supermarkets has grown rapidly. Retailers have largely led investment in CO2 technology, and the list of companies having chosen the natural refrigerant now includes Asda, the Co-operative, Harrod's, M&S, Sainsbury's, and Tesco. The Southern Co-operative is the latest supermarket chain to select CO2.
Supermarket chain's most efficient and climate friendly store
Steve Tremlett, Head of Business Development for Southern Co-operative, confirmed that the new store in Chobham would be their most efficient in the UK.
"All of the lighting will be LED, the refrigeration systems will actually use CO2 as a climate friendly coolant and the fridges themselves will have doors to help minimise power consumption. Power will also be saved through hi-spec insulation; and electricity is monitored using sophisticated smart meters to ensure that store equipment is running efficiently," said Mr Tremlett.
Several Southern Co-operative stores have already installed LED lighting and electronic smart meters, achieving an overall reduction in energy use of 2.6%. However the Chobham store will be the first to use CO2.
CO2 installation by DCI Refrigeration
The Southern Cooperative will work with refrigeration and air conditioning contractor DCI for the CO2 refrigeration installation. In 2011, Phil Ponsonby, Chief Operating Officer for the Southern Co-operative, opened the new DCI CO2 test and training facility.
At the opening Mr Ponsonby said, "With increasing demand for efficient and environmentally friendly refrigerants, DCI has demonstrated CO2 offers perhaps the most viable solution, particularly in the food chain where demand for chilled and frozen food continues to grow".
Use of CO2 as the prime refrigerant in the 52kW glycol chiller, designed and manufactured at DCI premises in Portsmouth, provides the established GWP benefits of using natural refrigerants to reduce direct emissions. The system thus contributes to the overall carbon savings, together with the use of renewable energy sources - both on site and via incoming electricity supply from hydro-electric and wind power providers.
Significant carbon and power savings
Contributing to significant emissions savings amounting to 69 tonnes CO2 equivalent are the: tailored design, innovative refrigeration technology, climate control and energy management system, sustainable timber-framed construction, insulation exceeding Building Regulations and renewable energy sources.
Special carbon and energy saving features include:
Glass doors on chiller cabinets provide energy savings of over 30%, emission reduction of 10.5 tonnes CO2 equivalent and eliminate the need to heat the cold aisle thereby saving additional 8.9 tonnes;
Heat recovery system designed by DCI that uses heat generated by the refrigeration plant to provide hot water for radiators and sink usage and this is backed up by an energy efficient air to water heat pump;
Ventilation via heat exchange either pre-heats or cools fresh air with extracted air to save further energy;
LED lightning which uses 75% less electricity than conventional fluorescents;
Energy Management Panel controls operational periods for store lighting, signage, bakery ovens, heating, ventilation and non perishable refrigerated display cabinets ensuring these systems use energy only when needed and saving 20 tonnes of CO2. Overall, the Energy Management Panel saves around 24 tonnes of CO2 equivalent;
Timber construction refrigeration plant room, 100% recycled and sustainably sourced, the first of its kind for any retailer.
CO2 training facilities in the UK
The increased investment in CO2 has been accompanied by a growing number of CO2 training courses. Based in Portsmouth, in the south of England, the DCI CO2 facility is the second of its kind in the UK, equipped with Bitzer semi-hermetic CO2 compressors in subcritical and transcritical operation. The first CO2 training centre was opened in 2010 by WR Refrigeration, and is called the "European Academy for Carbon Dioxide". The WR Academy comprises three systems in a cascade arrangement: a sub-critical LT system, a pumped circulation CO2 secondary system, operating at chilled food conditions, and a cascade CO2 transcritical multi-compressor pack system.

Q: setState causes unexpected trigger of event handler method I am using a click event handler that calls setState. but it seems that setState causes a continous unexpected trigger of click event handler.
the state is composed of object (containing minutes and seconds) that should be decreased when i click the html element.
    const sessionLength = {min: 25,
      sec: 0}
    this.state = {
      breakLength: 5,
      sessionLength: sessionLength,
      sessionProcessed: sessionLength
    }

this is the click Event handler:
  startPomodoro(){
    this.setState(prevState=>({sessionProcessed: {...prevState.sessionProcessed, sec: prevState.sessionProcessed.sec - 1}}));
  };

and the JSX :
  render(){
    return(

Test

Session

{this.state.sessionLength.min}:{this.state.sessionLength.sec}

    )
  }

As it display nothing, i have added an alert statement in the click event handler (startPomodoro) and it executes the startPomodoro event handler without me clicking.

A: You are calling the handler (startPomodoro()) instead of just passing it (startPomodoro). Change your code to:

A: When calling an handler, you have two options:

*

*passing a callback ( best option )

*declaring an anonymous function on render

Passing a callback
onClick={this.startPomodoro}
Declaring an anonymous function
onClick={() => this.startPomodoro()}
Take in consideration that if you declare an anonymous function it can cause some performance issues, as mentioned in the docs: https://reactjs.org/docs/handling-events.html

The problem with this syntax is that a different callback is created each time the component renders. In most cases, this is fine. However, if this callback is passed as a prop to lower components, those components might do an extra re-rendering. We generally recommend binding in the constructor or using the class fields syntax, to avoid this sort of performance problem.

A: Regarding the above answers, passing arrow function (onClick={ () => this.startPomodoro() }) will perfectly work.
If you are passing a callback, you should bind callback function to this reference.
Like this:
onClick={ this.startPomodoro.bind(this) }

Games to Movies – Big hit or Big hype?
Looks like we can expect a whole range of new game-to-movie ports. More and more games are being snatched up to be made into movies. But the one question on my mind is will they do it right?
Far Cry , Prince of Persia , Assassin's Creed and Splinter Cell are a few games from Ubisoft that have already been taken. I really would like to see a game turned into a movie, but if it is not done right, as in the case of the Max Payne (Max Payne series)and In the name of the King (Dungeon Siege), then it is just going to disappoint everyone.
But will it or will it be a disaster you decide. Let us know what you think in the comment section below.

UK judge rejects U.S. extradition request for WikiLeaks' Julian Assange
A British judge ruled on Monday Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, should not be extradited to the U.S. to face charges of breaking a spying law and conspiring to obtain secret U.S. documents by hacking government computers.
Judge Vanessa Baraitser said she had refused his extradition to the U.S. because of fears he could commit suicide.
"Faced with conditions of near total isolation... I am satisfied that the procedures [outlined by U.S. authorities] will not prevent Mr Assange from finding a way to commit suicide," she said.
"For this reason I have decided extradition would be oppressive by reason of mental harm and I order his discharge," she added.
The U.S. said it would continue to seek the extradition of Assange and the country's prosecutors are set to appeal Monday's decision to London's High Court.
U.S. authorities accuse Australia-born Assange, 49, of 18 counts relating to Wikileaks' release of vast troves of confidential U.S. military records and diplomatic cables, which they said had put lives in danger. He faces up to 175 years in a high-security jail if convicted.
Defense witnesses called during the hearing said Assange's history of depression meant he would be at risk of suicide if sent to the U.S. and locked up in a maximum-security prison. He has also complained of hearing imaginary voices and music during his detention.
In addition, it was noted he has a respiratory condition that makes him more vulnerable to COVID-19.
Assange and his legal team have long argued the protracted case was politically motivated.
The American non-profit Freedom of the Press Foundation said the case against Assange was "the most dangerous threat to U.S. press freedom in decades."

"The extradition request was not decided on press freedom grounds; rather the judge essentially ruled the U.S. prison system was too repressive to extradite."
In court, Assange wiped his forehead as the decision was announced, while his fiancee Stella Moris, with whom he has two children fathered while seeking political asylum in the Ecuadorian embassy in London, burst into tears and was embraced by WikiLeaks editor-in-chief Kristinn Hrafnsson.
Outside the Old Bailey court in London, supporters, who had gathered since early morning, erupted in cheers and shouted "Free Assange."
It follows more than a decade of legal controversies but the ruling is still subject to appeal. Assange was remanded in custody with a bail hearing to be heard on Wednesday.
What is WikiLeaks?
The controversy surrounding Assange is now in its second decade. Some regard the Australian national, 49, as a fearless campaigner for press freedom in reporting information about government and authorities, while others believe he was reckless with classified information and has endangered sources.
The figurehead of the whistleblowing website has spent most of the past decade in custody or holed up in Ecuador's London embassy, as he has tried to avoid extradition – first to Sweden to answer allegations of rape, which he consistently denied, and then to the U.S. over the leaks of classified information related to the Afghan and Iraq wars.
Assange launched WikiLeaks in 2006 along with a group of activists and IT experts.
"We are creating a new standard for a free press," Assange told AFP in an interview in August 2010.
The website first made waves in 2007 when it released manuals for U.S. prison guards at Guantanamo Bay. In 2010 it worked with The New York Times, The Guardian, Der Spiegel, Le Monde and El Pais to publish more than 10 million classified diplomatic cables to the dismay of politicians, governments and corporations worldwide.
They included a leaked video showing a U.S. military Apache helicopter targeting some buildings before firing on and killing two journalists and several Iraqi civilians on a Baghdad street in 2007.
CLICK: DECIPHERING THE LANGUAGE OF THE PANDEMIC
WikiLeaks also caused a storm in July 2016 by releasing emails showing U.S. Democratic Party officials favoring Hillary Clinton over left-winger Bernie Sanders in the presidential primary elections, forcing high-ranking party members to resign.
Over time, it has increasingly set its sights on the U.S., fueling suspicion of collaboration with Russia – claims Assange has denied.
Assange was initially supported by human rights groups and newspapers that once worked with him to edit and publish the U.S. war logs.
However, when WikiLeaks dumped unredacted documents online, including the names of informants, Assange fell out spectacularly with former media partners.
U.S. lawyers conceded that while they were "aware" of sources who disappeared after WikiLeaks published their names, they "can't prove that their disappearance was the result of being outed by WikiLeaks."
Assange's legal battles
Assange's legal saga began in 2010, soon after publishing those videos and further classified documents about U.S. military campaigns, with rape allegations in Sweden, which he consistently denied.
In Britain when Sweden sought his extradition in 2012, Assange managed to evade arrest by seeking political asylum at the Ecuadorian embassy in London. He lived in a small apartment at the embassy for seven years, exercising on a treadmill and making up for a lack of natural light by sitting beside a sun lamp.

When a new government came to power in Quito, however, Assange was turned over to British police in April 2019.
Though Sweden had dropped the rape investigation, citing a lack of evidence in May 2017, Assange was arrested in April 2019 for breaching bail and sent to the high-security Belmarsh prison in south London. Although he had served his time for that offence, he remained behind bars awaiting the outcome of the U.S. extradition request.
Assange's supporters, including the fashion designer Vivienne Westwood and actor Pamela Anderson, have raised concerns about the effect a decade's incarceration has had on him.
Nils Melzer, the United Nations' rapporteur on torture, said Assange's "prolonged solitary confinement in a high-security prison is neither necessary nor proportionate and clearly lacks any legal basis."
UN rights experts do not speak for the United Nations but report their findings to it.

Q: How to make Jersey Rest POST request to be synchronized How can i make Jersey REST POST request Synchronized so that if one request is in process no other request can be made.
i tried making method synchronized but it didn't work.

A: Instead of trying to synchronize your service methods and start / stop your GraphDatabaseService per request it might be interesting to start your GraphDatabaseService in a ServletContextListener and then access it through the web application's context. This takes advantage of the fact that GraphDatabaseService is thread safe.
Perhaps a listener like this:
public class ExampleListener implements ServletContextListener {

  public void contextInitialized(ServletContextEvent sce) {
    sce.getServletContext().setAttribute("graphDb", new GraphDatabaseFactory().newEmbeddedDatabase("/tmp/GraphDB"));
  }

  public void contextDestroyed(ServletContextEvent sce) {
    ((GraphDatabaseService)sce.getServletContext().getAttribute("graphDb")).shutdown();
  }

}

which you can initialize in your web.xml like this:
<listener>
  <listener-class>org.example.ExampleListener</listener-class>
</listener>

and then utilize in a REST method like this:
@POST
public void graphOperation(@Context ServletContext context) {
  GraphDatabaseService graphDb = (GraphDatabaseService)context.getAttribute("graphDb");
  // Graph operations here...
}

You could even add your ServletContext to your service class constructor and get the attributes you need as member fields of your service class to make it more convenient.

Diagnosis Muni: Driver Sick-Out Continues, But Is (Maybe) Improving?
After two days of terrible delays and packed vehicles, the Muni driver sick-out appears to be abating slightly. However, the SFMTA is still warning riders to expect delays and to "monitor news media" (hi!) to figure out just how miserable their commute might be.
On Tuesday evening, SFMTA spokesman Paul Rose told SFist that the transit agency "was hopeful" that more drivers would return to work on Wednesday. That seems to be borne out by early reports that "only" 160 drivers have called in sick today (twice as many failed to show up for work on Monday) and that 440 of their usual 600 vehicles would be on the road for Wednesday's commute.
In fact, Muni is feeling good enough about things to say that "light rail lines and bus routes will return to their regular routes for the morning commute," and that "all Limited and Express routes will be in service" for the first time this week.
Cable cars still won't be operating today, though shuttle buses will be running their route. The F Market will only be running between Fisherman's Wharf and the Ferry Building, so you're stuck with Muni Metro to get down Market Street.
If Muni gets too hairy this morning, BART is still accepting customers with a valid Muni proof of payment between Daly City and Embarcadero stations. Just remember to go to the BART Station Agent gate, don't tag your Clipper card.
As a side note, it's been a difficult couple of days, and with it has come some nasty rumors. In one case, it was reported that the 83x, aka the "Twitter bus," "was found running apace" this week. Rose vehemently denied this allegation (but if you know otherwise, we'd love to hear more about it).
"None of the Express routes were in service on Monday or Tuesday," Rose said, specifying that "none of the express-only routes had any buses on them."
When asked why a screencap of NextBus results appeared to support allegations that "a line built explicitly to serve the Mid-Market tech corridor where Twitter's headquarters are located was up and running all morning," Rose said "we've been telling people all along that NextBus results will be inaccurate these least two days, with such a widespread disruption." And indeed, they have.
Rose also denied some tweeted reports that fare inspectors have been "out in force" this week, cramming into packed buses to ticket passengers who appear to lack proof of payment. Fare inspectors "have not been instructed to check for POP" this week, Rose told SFist. "The are out purely in a customer-service basis." The SFMTA twitter account repeated that message shortly thereafter.
In any case, here's hoping for a better commute today. How was yours?

"It's one of the few things I've done for the stage that I regard as really powerful," she continues. It's easy to see why she feels so strongly. In some ways, the musical theater piece is for her a risky departure: an experiment with music theater; a collaborative work; a rare encounter with Africa for a writer whose gaze has been firmly focused on America. Yet it's also a crowning achievement: through Shakespeare, Morrison seems to have arrived at a summing up of the themes that have characterized her own literary career.
Hidden history happens to be one of Morrison's own central preoccupations. Throughout her career, she has dedicated herself to exploring the untold lives of women and black Americans, including the deep traumas of slavery and racism. She took up Sellars's challenge. The result is a performance with text by Morrison and music and lyrics by Traoré. "Desdemona" carries traces of the bitterness and violence that characterize both Shakespeare's play and much of Morrison's own work. Yet its tone is mainly one of acceptance, perhaps even reconciliation.
In Shakespeare's play, Othello is a Moor, a North African, who works his way up to become a general in the army of Venice. After he wins the love of the senator's daughter Desdemona, she marries him against the wishes of her powerful family. Then one of Othello's junior officers, Iago, who has been passed up for promotion, decides to bring the general down. He tricks Othello into believing that Desdemona has been having an affair. Othello first murders Desdemona and, when he realizes the truth, kills himself.
She added a new character, too, one who is mentioned only in passing in Shakespeare's text. The evening of her murder, Desdemona sings a sad song she learned from her mother's maid just before she died of a broken heart. The singer was called "Barbary": an old name for North Africa. Sellars suggested that she might have come from Africa, and that she might have raised Desdemona.
"[Barbary says] 'I'm black, you're white, you can't understand me.' [Desdemona answers] "'What do you mean? I married a black man.' Yes, but, yes but.
"And there's the space, the sort of racial space, and class space, and geographic space, where all the things that keep people disliking one another, or resenting one another, or assuming things about one another disappear. And she can touch her face, as she does, and realize that they're two people in difficulty, or who have had some difficulties.
"In that dialogue, in that exchange, is everything you know or sense about religious or racial conflict, or male and female conflict. All of this is about making other people strangers, or putting yourself in a position of authority. You see a person, you look at them, and you think you know all about them, because of the way they dress, the way they speak, and certainly color." But in eternity, there might be time enough to understand.
There's one subject, however, that makes Morrison wary. The question touches on another theme that runs strongly through "Desdemona," the problem of cynicism versus forgiveness. Morrison has not seen it as her business to portray reconciliation between black and white—or otherwise let anyone off the hook. White readers, feeling guilty about the privileges their race confers, tend to look in Morrison's work for gestures of absolution. So far they've searched in vain.

Monday was MLK Day (Dr Martin Luther King) in the US. It's a national holiday that celebrates the achievement of one of the greatest men of the 20th Century.
In 2010 at the American Embassy in central London, one of Dr Martin Luther King's principle disciples - Rev Jesse Jackson - paid me, perhaps the biggest political and indeed, community compliment I have ever had: He told the packed audience, including the then new Ambassador Matthew Barzun, had I have been around back in the sixties in Black America, the great man - King - would have chosen me to be part of his team that changed the world. 'Wow' I thought at the time.
But even before that immense compliment, I'd set my sights on delivering MLK's dream for a British context. Of course, like him, our starting point with OBV, nearly 25 years ago, was voter registration. Like King, we; Lee Jasper, Derek Hinds, Ashok Viswanathan, Rita Patel, Dave Weaver and Audrey Adam's recognized that without power - in this case political power - nothing changes. Nothing.
I often tell the story when the then Shadow Home Secretary Jack Staw called our office to ask if he could announce at one of our first meetings, back in 1997, that if Black people voted Labour, then he would deliver a Public Inquiry into the murder of Stephen Lawrence. The power of the Black vote was being realised.
But even more than King's political empowerment programmed that we unashamedly copied - actually, our starting point, driven by Derek Hinds, also included Malcolm X, who famously said, we must use the 'ballot, not the bullet', I was utterly struck by King's capacity to community organise, and politically lobby. His most brilliant book, Great strides forward, became my bible for political activism.
The book is his account of the phenomenal Montgomery Bus boycott, which today's students might mistakenly believe the bus boycott, was a boycott, like not wearing a brand of clothing or eating a particular make of food because they are ethically dubious. Nothing could be further from the truth.
This campaign, which lasted for over a year, presented a hardship for tens of thousands of poor Black workers who depended on this transport to get to work to put food on their families table. It created an organisational team, not seen before or after the Montgomery boycott. It challenged the Black leadership, particularly the in the church, and challenged its very being, all this along with acts of betrayal that were jaw dropping. Above all, King and others put their lives along with the lives of their young families on the line. King's house was fire bombed on one occasion, which shook up his family and reminded King what was at stake here. Reading this book though, I realised that King was not only a brilliant strategist, campaigner, but also a shrewd political lobbyist too.
To eventually achieve success he would have to operate at optimum in all those areas.
Whenever, I'm asked what books I would recommend to would be Black politicians or activists, I straight away jump to Kings' Great Stride Forward, the other book I recommend is A racial contract by Charles Mills, very different, but equally empowering and illuminating.
So when I reflect upon MLK, his dream and his work, I quietly and proudly feel that like many thousands of individuals, I've taken King's baton and run a leg that will get us closer to the finishing line of greater race equality. Am I a disciple of King? Well yes, if that's not too arrogant a thing to say. Then definitely yes.

Laurentian abandoned incremental growth

Laurentian University. Photo by John Lappa/Sudbury Star
I came to Laurentian University in 1971, having recently completed post-graduate studies in the UK. Even though Laurentian was founded in 1960, it was the new kid on the block — still, as it were, in its swaddling clothes in 1971, relative to the panoply of well-established and hallowed universities in Ontario like, for instance, University of Toronto and Queen's.
Laurentian abandoned incremental growth Back to video
What it lacked in vintage and reputation, however, it more than made up for in excitement and enthusiasm. I remember the place brimming with energy, populated by many young, newly minted professors, keen to get down to the business of teaching students, largely from the North, themselves keen to be part of an institution that the North had built and nurtured.
Like those who founded the place in 1960, we wanted to make Laurentian a very good place for students to attend and learn, to share knowledge, to make new friends; in short, to make them feel proud that they chose Laurentian when there were so many other places that many of them might have opted for. And in large measure, this is exactly what Laurentian accomplished over most of its years and until quite recently.
I know the above sounds very "pie in the sky," but let me temper by saying that the road that Laurentian took, like the road that all universities must inevitably travel, was not without major bumps and a few detours. Such is the nature of universities. Resources then, as now, were scarce.
All universities in the province, whatever their vintage, were part of the same choir and all sang the same hymn entitled "We Need More" to provincial governments, whatever their stripe, that knew that hymn only too well. As a new institution, Laurentian, keen on getting going and building momentum, probably felt this need at least as much as, if not more than, other, bigger, older, more-established places.
Not unrelated to the resource challenges was program development at the newly minted Laurentian. To attract students and to define itself as a real university, Laurentian needed to build programs. And it did this, not always to the universal delight of all professors, some of whom felt that a university worth its name couldn't really exist without courses and programs developed in their own speciality. I plead guilty to this as well.
As is proper, the university senate was the place where these programs and courses were voted up or down, oftentimes not without passion, enlightened disagreement and disappointment. But even the disappointed got on with it, knowing that some day their time would come if they could make a good, strong academic case and resources were available.
So over the years, Laurentian developed incrementally by taking small steps and acting cautiously — until quite recently. Fortunately, during my time there, Laurentian had a strong academic and administrative team (to say nothing of support staff) who recognized that not everything could grow at once.
Teaching and research were pre-eminent, and Laurentian had to trim its sails in accordance with available resources. Small and cautious steps, in accordance with available financial resources. I'll say it again: incremental growth; that was the key to Laurentian's quite remarkable success.
So, what has happened the last 10 years or so and how can an institution that took almost 60 years to build so successfully fall so dramatically to the point where it is today?
Some might argue that it was unchecked empire-building rather than institution building.
Some might argue it was employing resources the institution had no right to spend on initiatives that Laurentian could not honestly support.
Some might argue it was trying to fool all of the people all of the time by announcing balanced budgets when the cupboard was, in fact, bare. Some might argue that all of these factors worked together to make Laurentian a shadow of its former self, "a tattered coat upon a stick" to cite the poet William Butler Yeats.
Laurentian threw the notion of incremental growth out the window and the dregs in the institution's cup are wormwood. Laurentian, sadly, is now in the process of shoring fragments against its ruins, ironically rapidly dismantling the place to repair the situation that unchecked and rapid growth created.
As things now stand, the Jenga tower that is Laurentian looks as if it no longer has enough blocks left in place to sustain it.

Brenda has been an active member of NZAP since 1985. In addition, she has, as a Gestalt practitioner and trainer, made a major contribution to psychotherapy nationally and internationally.
Her original nursing training and ensuing nursing career led Brenda to a deeper and more holistic approach to health. Brenda was Director of Counselling at Marriage Guidance between 1985 and 1990 when she established a Gestalt Psychotherapy practice, including supervision and organisational work, which continues today.
Brenda's service to psychotherapy has been extensive and is exemplified by her professional and personal ethical approach. She has been an active member of the Gestalt Institute of NZ (GINZ) and the GINZ training faculty since 1993. Brenda developed and provided a professional training programme and promulgated the creation of minimum training standards. She was instrumental in the establishment of Gestalt Australia and New Zealand (GANZ) and was a member of the GANZ Council from 1996 to 2000, and President for four years during that period. Brenda has been active in promoting Gestalt therapy internationally and through her connections with Australian training programmes. She is renowned for her rich and thought-provoking papers.
During Brenda's 30 years of membership of NZAP she served on the NZAP Council from 2007 to 2014, and was Chair of the Ethics and Professional Standards Committee from 2009 to 2014. During her time on EPSC Brenda worked on reshaping and clarifying the procedures of the complaints process and developed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Psychotherapists Board of Aotearoa New Zealand.
Brenda's astute judgement and clarity of thinking was invaluable on Council and in chairing the EPSC. She is particularly skilled in the respectful engagement of dialogue around difference. Her term on the NZAP Council following the advent of registration for psychotherapists was a challenging time. Brenda maintained a steady and thoughtful presence on Council with a capacity for critical enquiry. She has worked tirelessly and competently, adding a great deal to the culture and work ethic of Council. She is highly regarded professionally by NZAP members who approach her for reflective consultation on a wide range of ethical issues.
Brenda has been involved locally as a committee member for 7 years up to 2013, and as a training supervisor in the Canterbury supervision group since 2001.She has been a regular member of NZAP accreditation panels and was an integral part of the 2009 Conference Committee.
Brenda is a very private person. We recognise and pay tribute to Brenda's bravery and resourcefulness both during and after the earthquakes. She is loyal and utterly reliable. Outside of her professional life, Brenda's creativity is expressed in her exquisite oil paintings and skilful photography.
On behalf of the Association, the Canterbury Branch wishes to acknowledge and honour Brenda's significant contribution and service to NZAP and to the wider field of psychotherapy.

Q: JavaFX: Rotation based slider/selector (Radio-Knob) I was playing around on the JavaFX Scene Builder 2.0 today, and noticed that the rotation options for various controls have a circular 'slider'.
Image: http://i.imgur.com/kE6N7Xo.gif
I really like this, and I want to use it in a small project I'm working on, but I don't think it's a standard javafx control. It looks as though it's been designed to fit the look and feel of JavaFX, and being that it's part of a piece of software developed by the guys behind Java, I would assume it's got to be somewhere!
Do you know whether this is included in the standard javafx libraries? I'd rather not have to make it myself if I can help it!
Thanks for your help!

A: SceneBuilder 2.0 is open source with a 3 clause BSD license (which is liberal as far as the licensing spectrum goes).
You can find source for the "RotateEditor" control in this bitbucket mirror:

*

*RotateEditor.java

*RotateEditor.fxml
The SceneBuilder source is split into two parts - the SceneBuilder application and a separate support library called SceneBuilderKit.  If you download the source from bitbucket and compile the SceneBuilderKit, you should be able to use the RotateEditor (and a bunch of other features that SceneBuilder provides).  I'm not sure if you will be able to use it directly in your application without modification or if you will need to make some small changes to successfully integrate it.
Build instructions for SceneBuilder are on the open-jfx wiki, but you probably not need to build the whole of JavaFX to get what you need.
If the RotateEditor is not in the ControlsFX project, you could consider re-packaging it and donating it to ControlsFX as it would be nice to have such a control in a dedicated controls library.

Niklas Brobst von Effelt (auch Niklas Brobst; * nach 1450 in Eichfeld, heute Volkach; † um 1506 in Volkach) war Notar und Stadtschreiber in der unterfränkischen Stadt Volkach. Er trat als Verfasser des  Volkacher Salbuchs hervor, einer Rechtskodifzierung, die das Stadtrecht der Amtsstadt im Spätmittelalter und in der Frühen Neuzeit festschrieb.

Leben und Wirken
Zwischen 1450 und 1455 wurde Niklas Brobst im Dorf Eichfeld geboren, das damals zur Grafschaft Castell gehörte. Über seine Eltern ist nur sehr wenig bekannt. Lediglich die Namen der beiden sind überliefert: Sie hießen Hans und Anna Brobst. Über die frühe Ausbildung des jungen Niklas ist nichts Genaues bekannt. Erst mit dem Beginn seines Studiums wurde er in den Quellen wieder fassbar. Niklas nahm eine geistliche Laufbahn im Zisterzienserkloster in Ebrach auf, erhielt hier auch die Niedere Weihe.

Bald darauf brach Brobst die Ausbildung zum Priester jedoch ab. Er heiratete die aus Volkach stammende Barbara Geickner, zog mit ihr nach Wildbad im Schwarzwald und unterrichtete dort als Schulmeister. Dort wurden am 19. Januar 1476 die Zwillinge Sebastian und Antonia Brobst geboren. Seinen Eltern teilte er seine Entscheidung, ein weltliches Leben führen zu wollen, in einem Brief im Jahr 1477 mit, in dem er auch seine baldige Heimkehr nach Franken anbot.

Im Jahr 1478 oder 1479 kehrte Brobst zurück, nahm im nahegelegenen Prichsenstadt eine Schulmeisterstelle an, die er bis 1480 innehatte. Mit der Erwerbung eines Hauses in Volkach durch Niklas' Vater Hans wurde die Stadt ab 1480 ständiger Wohnsitz der Familie. Im Jahr 1481 gab Johann Hümpferer, Rektor der Lateinschule und Stadtschreiber, aus Altersgründen sein Amt auf und Niklas Brobst bewarb sich um die Stelle. Am 22. Februar 1481 legte er vor dem Würzburger Stadtschultheißen und dem Oberbürgermeister seinen Amtseid ab.

Einige Jahre später, 1491, zog die Familie in ein standesgemäßes Haus am Marktplatz der Stadt. Niklas Brobst, der sich nun "von Effelt" nannte, wohl um seine Herkunft zu unterstreichen, erwarb Weinberge, kaufte und verkaufte Grundstücke und handelte mit Wein. 1499 wurde der Sohn Sebastian Gehilfe seines Vaters. Mit ihm zusammen verfasste Niklas im Jahr 1504 auch das Volkacher Salbuch, das seine Karriere bekrönte.

Notwendig war das Werk durch die Aufteilung der Stadt geworden. Drei Stadtherren, der Würzburger Fürstbischof, die Grafen von Henneberg und die Herren von Weinsberg verfügten über Volkach, das unter einer Teuerung und schlechten Ernten zu leiden hatte. Brobst drückte in seinem Werk auch das Missfallen über die Situation aus. Gleichzeitig erkannte er die Notwendigkeit, die einsetzende Verwaltung und Verrechtlichung voranzutreiben und festzuhalten.

Mit dem Salbuch entstand ein juristisches Standardwerk, das im deutschen Sprachraum in der damaligen Zeit wohl einmalig war. Gegen Ende seines Lebens versuchte Brobst zusammen mit seinem Sohn die Verwaltung der Stadt weiter zu reformieren. Um das Jahr 1506 starb Niklas Brobst von Effelt, "Alt Staatschreyber" in Volkach. Sein Sohn Sebastian übernahm die Stelle als Stadtschreiber und Notar. Die Stadt Volkach ehrte im 20. Jahrhundert den Notar mit der Niklas-Brobst-Straße.

How Ace Hardware Turned Corner Stores Into A $4.7 Billion Co-Op
By Clare O'Connor | HTTP://WWW.FORBES.COM/SITES/CLAREOCONNOR/2015/02/1 | Monday, March 02, 2015
When Jeremy Melnick's grandfather opened his first Ace Hardware store along Chicago's ritzy Gold Coast in 1950, there wasn't a whole lot of competition. Wal-Mart? An Arkansas five-and-dime. Lowe's was two stores in North Carolina. Home Depot was still 29 years away from opening its first location. Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos was 14 years shy of being born.
The Melnicks - Jeremy, 43, and dad Les, 67 - own six of the 4,794 Ace Hardware stores that make up the country's largest retail cooperative outside the grocery sector.
As they've expanded their family business-within-a-business into a local chain, some 20 Home Depots have cropped up along greater Chicago's highways and strip malls in the past two decades, each 100,000 square feet (versus the Melnicks' 8,000-square-foot corner stores). "They surround us," Jeremy says.
Not that he's complaining. Despite the competition, his business is good. Surprisingly good. And so is Ace Hardware's bottom line. The Oak Brook, Ill. co-op expects a year-on-year revenue increase of 13% to about $4.7 billion and a profit boost of 35% when it releases its 2014 annual report in April, following eight consecutive quarters of record sales.
The reason for success, explains Ace CEO John Venhuizen, a charismatic 44-year-old who speaks with the fervor of a preacher, is store owners like the Melnicks: entrepreneurs with a deep knowledge of their local market, inventory fine-tuned to a neighborhood's demographic and the sort of exacting customer service a typical big-box store with low pay and high employee turnover just can't match.
Jeremy knows the make and model of bathroom faucets installed in every condo complex and apartment building within a short drive of all his Chicago stores - a boon in attracting fellow small business owners, like local plumbers, to Ace.
"It's a big deal," says Venhuizen, a 22-year company veteran. "It's a differentiator. And I'll tell you, it's exceedingly hard." Jeremy knows his stores' strengths. He doesn't sell lumber. For that you can go to Home Depot or Lowe's. He does sell what seems like every kind of light bulb in production. When a bulb blows he knows you'd rather grab a new one from your local Ace than navigate the labyrinthine aisles of a big box or wait in the dark for an Amazon delivery. "If you want to remodel your house, you"�ll go to them," he says. "We're making our money $20, $25 at a time."

The school is keen to make reasonable adjustments to enable equality of access for pupils and, where possible, staff, parents, governors and other visitors to the school. The Accessibilty Plan below gives an indication of the recent work to achieve this and plans for continuing improvement.
Accessibility Plan, November 2014
Equalities Information and Objectives – Reviewed 12/03/12
The school is committed to:-
Elimination of discrimination, harassment and victimisation.
Promoting equality of opportunity and fostering good relationships between different groups within the community.
As part of our effort to address these aims the school gathers and collates quantitative equality information about pupils and staff*, this information is reviewed annually but if the latest data are not available below, please contact the school office.
*Some data is not published due to the small size of the cohorts involved, although the school works to ensure that it is aware of, and addresses, any presenting issues.
Reviewed 12/03/12
Disability Information
A very small percentage of children at the school are classed as disabled, however medical needs and autistic spectrum disorders mean adjustments are made to some areas of the curriculum to allow these children full access. This differing provision is usually identified as part of developing the child's individual education plan (IEP) within the school's special educational need and disabilities processes.

Due to the small size of cohorts and protected groups the variations in these areas are difficult to track annually, although over time the school identified significant variation in the attainment of more able boys' and girls' especially in writing at KS2 and significant work has been done to address this trend. The school continues to focus on this area and is also tracking closely to establish whether recent gender variations in KS1 mathematics performance are cohort specific or indicative of a wider issue.
The school has worked with the cluster to put in place measures to improve pupil attendance relating to parental holidays within term time; however aside from medical conditions, there are no indications in the pupil data of any correlation between higher than average absence and protected groupings.
Almost no children have been excluded over recent years and whilst the data have been examined in the light of the equalities legislation, there are insufficient data to identify trends.
Extra-curricular Opportunities and Participation
The parental opportunities offered for parents and the wider community by the school Parent Teacher and Friends organisation have occasionally been somewhat exclusive (e.g. Ladies' Pamper Evening) although membership of the committee is balanced. This is an area that the school will continue to monitor and will address if necessary.
