Family of De'Von Bailey, 19-Year-Old Black Man Shot by Colorado Springs Police, Rallies for Justice

Protestors rallied outside of the Colorado Springs police headquarters Aug. 13 to protest the police shooting of 19-year-old De'Von Bailey. His family is calling for justice through an independent investigation of the incident.
A white police officer shot the teen responding to a report of a robbery Aug. 3. Officers said Bailey and another suspect ran from them. Though the police claimed the officer shot because one of the suspects reached for a gun, a recently-released surveillance video does not seem to show Bailey reaching for a weapon.
Bailey's cousin, 19-year-old Lawrence Stoker, said he was the other suspect. He said neither he nor his cousin had anything to do with the robbery and were walking to Stoker's girlfriend's house when the police approached them. He told the Colorado Springs Gazette that his cousin did have a gun on him, but had not reached for it. He said the cops did not see the weapon until after they shot him and found it in his waistband.
Both officers have been placed on administrative leave.
Led by Bailey's family, protestors demonstrated outside of the Colorado Springs police headquarters Aug. 13, the second rally that has occurred since the incident. They demanded the police department conduct a thorough, impartial investigation. Bailey's family members said they want to be sure none of the evidence is destroyed or tampered with, including bodycam footage. City and law enforcement officials said Aug. 9 that bodycam footage will be released by the end of the following week, but they have not released it at this time.
"The footage scheduled for release captured the moments leading up to, including and immediately following the shooting," the police department's statement said.
Sparking more concern and outrage is the fact that the "outside" agency investigating the shooting is the El Paso County Sheriff's Office in Colorado. Bailey's family has argued the county police investigating the city police is not impartial or independent enough.
"History will remind us we cannot let friends investigate friends," Jerry Thomas, pastor of Lifting Up Jesus Church in Colorado Springs said at the Aug. 13 rally.
Protester Jerima King attended the rally holing a sign that read, "Stop police brutality against black and brown people." However, Bailey's father, Greg Bailey said the issue was less about race to him.
"I don't want to make this about 'Black Lives Matter' or anything, because all of our lives matter," Greg Bailey said. "I know everyone says that my son was killed by a white cop, and he's a Black man in the community. Yes, those are facts, but that's not what this is about. This is what's right is right and what's wrong is wrong. And what's wrong is that my son was shot in the back by law enforcement."
Even so, Black men are killed in the hands of police at more than twice the rate of white men.
A new study from Rutgers University-Newark has found that police are the sixth leading cause of death among young — especially Black — men in America.
Related Story: Police Brutality a Leading Cause of Death Among Yong Men
So far in 2019, 124 Black males have been killed by police, according to the Washington Post's database. Two more deadly shootings of Black men have occurred since Bailey was killed Aug. 3.

Q: Angularjs-Spring : Getting parameter as Null in controller Here is the code for the controller
@RequestMapping(value = "/fetchRecord/", method = RequestMethod.POST)
    @ResponseBody
    public String fetchRecord(Integer primaryKey)
    {
        return this.serviceClass.fetchRecord(primaryKey);
    }

Here is my angular code
var dataObj = {
            primaryKey : $scope.primaryKey
        };
        var res = $http.post('/Practice/learn/fetchRecord/', dataObj);
        res.success(function(data, status, headers, config) {

            $scope.firstname = data;
        });
        res.error(function(data, status, headers, config) {

            alert("failure message: " + JSON.stringify({
                data : data
            }));
        });

i am able to debug my code. Although i can check it in browser that value for primaryKey get passed. But still it is null in controller.
any possible reason for that ?

A: You should send a json object,
try this,
var dataObj = {
            primaryKey : $scope.primaryKey
};
var res = $http.post('/Practice/learn/fetchRecord/', angular.toJson(dataObj));

A: You can get the value in the Controller from two ways:
First option:
Assign an object that has the attribute you want to pass.
Suppose that you have RecordEntity object, it has some attributes, one of them is the Integer primaryKey. The annotation @RequestBody will receive the value, so the controller will be:
backend
@RequestMapping(value = "/fetchRecord/", method = RequestMethod.POST)
@ResponseBody
public String fetchRecord(@RequestBody RecordEntity recordEntity) {
    return "primaryKey from requestBody: " +  recordEntity.getPrimaryKey();
}

frontend
In the frontend you should send an json that has the primaryKey attribute in the body, for example:
http://localhost:8080/Practice/learn/fetchRecord/

Post body:
{
    "primaryKey": 123
}

You controller will receive the value in the RecordEntity object.

Second option:
Pass the value by URL, the annotation @RequestParam will receive the value, so the controller will be:
backend
@RequestMapping(value = "/fetchRecord", method = RequestMethod.POST)
@ResponseBody
public String fetchRecord(@RequestParam Integer primaryKey) {
    return "primaryKey from RequestParam: " +  primaryKey;
}

frontend
In the url you should send the value with ?primaryKey, for example
http://localhost:8080/Practice/learn/fetchRecord?primaryKey=123

You controller will receive the value in the Integer primaryKey.

Belgium 2-3 France: Theo Hernandez stunner completes sensational Nations League comeback
By	Sports Desk	October 07, 2021
A stunning goal from Theo Hernandez sent France into the Nations League final after they battled back to beat Belgium 3-2.
The Milan full-back struck in the 90th minute after Karim Benzema and a Kylian Mbappe penalty had cancelled out goals from Yannick Carrasco and Romelu Lukaku.
Lukaku thought he had won an enthralling contest for Belgium with 88 minutes gone, but it was ruled out for offside after a VAR check, and France made their luck count.
In an even opening to the game, Hugo Lloris made a stunning save to keep out Kevin De Bruyne's scuffed effort from close range before Mbappe went close at the other end.
With each side lining up in a 3-4-3 that cancelled out the other, the game began to drift before Carrasco collected De Bruyne's pass, drove into the box past Benjamin Pavard, cut back onto his right foot and drilled a shot in at the near post with Lloris wrong-footed.
It was 2-0 before the interval, Lukaku spinning away from the flat-footed Lucas Hernandez before side-footing high past Lloris, again at his near post.
France kept Belgium pinned back early in the second half but Antoine Griezmann got the ball stuck under his feet after a brilliant run and cut-back from Mbappe.
Mbappe was involved again when France finally capitalised on their dominance, slipping the ball to Benzema, who shot low on the turn beyond the reach of Thibaut Courtois.
Seven minutes later, Mbappe – who missed in the shoot-out loss to Switzerland at Euro 2020 – swept a penalty past Courtois after a VAR check saw Youri Tielemans punished for catching Griezmann.
A rasping effort from De Bruyne was tipped over by Lloris and Aurelien Tchouameni was denied by Courtois, with VAR intervening again when Lukaku thought he had prodded in a winner against the run of play, the Chelsea striker having strayed fractionally offside to meet Carrasco's cross.
Paul Pogba's spectacular free-kick cannoned off the crossbar before France's unlikely hero found the winner, Theo Hernandez rifling left-footed into the right-hand corner after Benjamin Pavard's cross found its way to the Rossoneri star.

Rose 'angry' after Dortmund blow chance at title with shock DFB-Pokal exit
Borussia Dortmund head coach Marco Rose admits he is "angry" after his side spurned a golden opportunity to win a title after crashing out of the DFB-Pokal 2-1 to St Pauli on Tuesday.
DFB-Pokal holders Dortmund conceded twice in the first half before Erling Haaland pulled back a 58th minute penalty but they could not find an equalizer in the last-16 clash.
The defeat means for the first time since 2006-07, neither Dortmund or Bayern Munich will contend in the DFB-Pokal quarter-finals, with Rose admitting it was a major missed opportunity.
"I'm just angry. The cup is a chance for a title and we're generally in good shape," Rose told Sky. "Then we just give the game away in the first 10 minutes.
"The fact that you then get into problems with the ground and the strong opponent under the conditions is inexplicable and cannot be excused."
Dortmund had come into the DFB-Pokal game fresh from beating SC Freiburg 5-1 in the Bundesliga on Friday, as well as coming from behind to win 3-2 over Eintracht Frankfurt.
"It's a pity and a bit stupid of us that after a top performance against Freiburg and the game we played in Frankfurt, we didn't do it again," Rose said.
"Unfortunately, we are again confirming a few things that have been held up to us in the last few weeks, months and years. It's just our fault.
"The end pisses me off because it was a chance for a title and we're just giving the game away."
Australian Open: Medvedev, Kyrgios get chance to bring Melbourne to life
Nick Kyrgios is box office whenever he plays – and the Australian Open gets a first-week gift in the form of a second-round blockbuster against Daniil Medvedev.
Kyrgios still managed to bring John Cain Arena to life even during a relatively straightforward 6-4 6-4 6-3 win over Liam Broady on Tuesday.
The Australian, who has dropped to 115th in the rankings after not playing since last year's US Open, is arguably the must-watch player in the men's draw.
Anything can happen when Kyrgios is in action. For all the frustrations about a thus far unfulfilled talent, Kyrgios – a two-time grand slam quarter-finalist – is box office.
On Thursday he faces the highest ranked player in the men's draw, last year's US Open champion Medvedev, in what shapes as being a thrilling contest.
Kyrgios has won both of his previous meetings with the Russian second seed, who is among the favourites to win the title at Melbourne Park.
With Roger Federer absent and Novak Djokovic having been deported from Australia, tournament officials have been gifted a contest that belongs in the second week.
All eyes will be on Thursday's schedule, with Kyrgios seemingly likely to miss out on playing on his preferred court – John Cain Arena – in a match that undoubtedly belongs on Rod Laver Arena.
"I mean, obviously either way it's going to be a hell of an experience for me. He's probably the best player in the world at the moment. So I'm pretty excited, I'm excited for that moment. That's why I play the game," Kyrgios said after beating Broady.
"I feel like those matches still excite me, to go out there and play the best in the world. That was always something I wanted to prove to people that someone like me could do, win those matches. I'm not going to go into it with a lot of expectation. I'm going to go out there, have some fun, play my game. I have a pretty set-in-stone game plan of what I need to do to have success.
"As I said, he's probably the best player in the world, he does everything extremely well. He's a hard worker, ticks all the boxes. I'm not going to even think about that now. To play it on John Cain would be – I'm just going to call it the Kyrgios Court – would be fun."
Kyrgios and Medvedev played twice in 2019, the Australian winning two tie-breaks in their most recent meeting in the final in Washington in August of that year.
Medvedev was a top-10 player then, but it would be later in that year that the Russian would truly make an impact, edged by Rafael Nadal in the US Open final.
He went 20-3 at majors last year, winning the title at Flushing Meadows, reaching the final in Melbourne and the French Open quarter-finals.
When he met Kyrgios in Washington, Medvedev had won four ATP titles. He now has 13 to his name.
"Yeah, I just became a different player in terms of ranking and titles. It gives you experience. That's where you can try to win matches which you have lost before, opponents which you have lost before," Medvedev said following his opening-round win against Henri Laaksonen.
"I think there are still some guys on tour who I haven't beat. So can stay like this. I think our last match was so long ago and we are both so different and a different momentum of our careers that it's really tough to count it. As I say, win or lose, I don't think these two matches gonna count into this one, so yeah."
Australian Open: Brilliant Barty brushes past Bronzetti
Ash Barty continued her impressive start to the Australian Open with a resounding win over Lucia Bronzetti on Wednesday.
The world number one dropped just one game in the first round and was similarly rampant in the second, crushing Bronzetti 6-1 6-1 on Rod Laver Arena.
Barty, a two-time grand slam champion, raced through in just 52 minutes to set up a meeting with another Italian, 30th seed Camila Giorgi.
The Australian remains on track for a blockbuster fourth-round meeting with Japanese star Naomi Osaka.
Barty quickly broke the Bronzetti serve, taking a 2-0 lead after a double fault and tame backhand into the net from the Italian.
Bronzetti won just one point during her opening two service games as Barty broke again for 4-0, on her way to taking the first set in just 26 minutes.
The one-sided encounter continued to begin the second set, a pair of double faults from Bronzetti helping Barty break to love in the third game.
Barty remained untroubled, cruising through in style as her run in Melbourne continued.
DATA SLAM: Brilliant Barty continues early blitz
Barty has dropped just three games through two rounds at the Australian Open.
That is the fewest number of games she has lost through the opening two rounds of a grand slam in her career, better than last year's Australian Open (seven).
WINNERS/UNFORCED ERRORS
Barty – 21/14
Bronzetti – 6/14
ACES/DOUBLE FAULTS
Barty – 8/2
Bronzetti – 1/5
BREAK POINTS WON

San Diego is known for its highly desirable weather and now America's Finest City is being touted for having some of the "safest" weather in the country.
According to a list compiled by The Weather Channel, San Diego made the cut as one of the two "safest weather cities" in the West, followed by West Honolulu, Hawaii.
In the Northeast Caribou, Maine, and Rochester, N.Y., earned the safe weather titles, while Lexington, K.Y., and Asheville, N.C., were dubbed the safest weather cities in the South.
As for the Midwest, the safest weather cities in that region are International Falls, Minn., and Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., according to The Weather Channel list.
The list was compiled by examining weather factors deemed dangerous by the National Weather Service, including flooding, lightning, tornadoes, tropical cyclones, snow and ice storms, extreme heat, extreme cold, high winds and rip currents.
The safest weather cities, including San Diego, were ranked on the risks of each dangerous weather factor. The weather list did not consider threat from earthquakes and tsunamis, The Weather Channel reported.
San Diego was ranked as having "no risk" for cold, snow, ice and tropical cyclones and fairly low risk for heat, flooding, tornadoes and lightning.
The list also said thunderstorms are rare in San Diego, with locals only hearing thunder about three days out of the year.

The Course targets students interested in developing theoretical and practical understanding of brand management from a company's perspective. As such, it represents an ideal complement for students having attended the research seminar "Consumers and Brands" (Bachelor level), where brands are instead analysed from the perspective of end-users.
Participants will learn two radically distinct approaches to branding. First, a product-plus approach that considers brands as add-ons to products/services/ experiences. Second, a holistic brand approach, which instead considers brands as the cornerstone of a company's marketing strategy and as its most valuable asset.
Developing multidisciplinary and multi-epistemological understanding of processes behind brand management and consumer interaction with brands.
Improving students' ability in designing and fostering brand recognition (brand morphology), brand essence (brand axiology), and brand narratives (brand storytelling).
Complementing theoretical understanding of branding with in-field practical experience.

Iran Notifies EU of Decision to Expand Nuclear R&D

Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Seyyed Abbas Mousavi has provided details of a letter by Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif to EU Foreign Policy Chief Federica Mogherini on Tehran's move to expand its nuclear research and development (R&D).
In his letter to Mogherini, Zarif has announced that "the Islamic Republic of Iran will stop implementing all its JCPOA commitments with regards to nuclear research and development" as of Friday due to the "impacts of America's exit from the JCPOA and the re-imposition of its sanctions, and the three European countries' failure to fulfill their commitments under the JCPOA and the communiqués of the joint commission," Mousavi said Thursday.
"It has been emphasised in this letter that the move is exactly in line with Iran's rights under the JCPOA, especially based on its Paragraph 36, and is a response to widespread and continued violations of the JCPOA over the past 16 months."
"Iran will subsequently inform the International Atomic Energy Agency of the technical and operational details of its decision to stop implementing its nuclear R&D commitments," he added.
According to the spokesman, the final part of the letter stresses that "in order to show its good will, the Islamic Republic of Iran is prepared to continue negotiations at all levels with the parties remaining in the JCPOA, and to return to the full implementation of the JCPOA in case the other parties implement all their JCPOA commitments."
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani announced on Wednesday that the country will expand its nuclear research and development as of September 6, lifting all the restrictions imposed on the country's R&D in the 2015 nuclear deal with world powers.
Since May, Iran has been suspending some of its commitments under the nuclear deal, officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), which was clinched between Tehran and world powers in 2015. The country has already rowed back on its nuclear commitments twice in compliance with articles 26 and 36 of the JCPOA.
According to Rouhani, the third step will be taken on Friday, after talks between Iran and the P4+1 group of countries did not bear "the desired result."
"For the third step, the Atomic Energy Organization (of Iran) must immediately start whatever the country needs technically in the (nuclear) research and development field, and must abandon all commitments under the JCPOA in the field of research and development," the president said.
He noted that the AEOI is ordered to rapidly expand the research and development regarding various types of centrifuge machines and whatever is necessary for uranium enrichment.

"We've Got A Dragon By The Tail..."
The SpaceX Dragon spacecraft (Credit: NASA)
There is something both satisfying and frustrating about the historic space first achieved last Friday.
Let's talk about positives first.
What the SpaceX team has accomplished is nothing short of monumental: under the extraordinary leadership of former PayPal founder and owner Elon Musk, SpaceX has built and launched not only a single spacecraft, but an entire space system.
Beginning with the Falcon 1 rocket, then on to the Falcon 9, SpaceX has demonstrated an ability to bring private-sector resources, experience, and capabilities to human spaceflight.
But SpaceX didn't stop there.
In addition to designing and building their own launch vehicles, SpaceX has designed and built the Dragon spacecraft. This remarkable vehicle -- like the Russian Soyuz and Progress spacecraft (which has been in service and has flown nearly continuously since 1967) -- is designed to carry both cargo and humans to and from low-Earth orbit, to the Moon, and to Mars and other far objects.
It's important to be completely honest about this achievement: although primarily a private-enterprise effort, SpaceX has had an enormous amount of help from American taxpayers through NASA. Over the past decade or so the federal government, through NASA's Commercial Orbital Transportation Services (COTS) program, has channeled over $1 billion to SpaceX to support the Dragon-Falcon program.
Federal-private sector contracting has been in place since the beginning of the American space program. As NASA's International Space Station program manager Mike Suffredini said in a recent interview, NASA has never built a spacecraft or rocket. That has always been done by private sector companies, but with extensive NASA oversight and using NASA's designs and requirements.
What is different with SpaceX is that NASA -- in working to establish and grow the commercial spaceflight sector -- is simply subsidizing SpaceX, not leading it. To be sure, SpaceX must meet rigorous hardware and operational requirements set by NASA in integrating its systems into the ISS program. But SpaceX has designed, built, tested and flown its own spacecraft primarily through its own resources.
This also demonstrates human spaceflight operations being conducted with private sector systems and efficiencies in place. Except for the earlier less-risk averse days of NASA, it would have been highly improbable to see a launch attempt aborted with .05 seconds until launch, the cause of the abort found quickly, and the vehicle turned around in two days. That rarely happens in today's NASA, but it happens in the private sector all the time.
What we are seeing is the dawn of the next phase of human spaceflight where we will see private companies take their place next to government-sponsored programs. This is how it should be.
Tomorrow, we'll talk about frustrations.
But in the meantime, a major Memorial Day salute to SpaceX, to NASA, and to every other company and individual who had a hand in this past weekend's success.

An Interview with Diana Sheets: Fifty Shades of Putrid?
Aug 20, 2012 by Michael F. Shaughnessy EducationViews Senior Columnist
Gone is a society of readers who inhabit the imaginary realm of serious literature while making highly individualized choices about what to read that is informed only in part by critics who guide their intellectual, moral, and social tastes.
Michael F. Shaughnessy –
1) Diana, I by no means consider myself an expert or scholar, but I tend to watch what people seem to be reading. We have gone from "Harry Potter" to "The Hunger Games" to this latest atrocity—"Fifty Shades of Grey". Am I off on this?
Gone is a society of readers who inhabit the imaginary realm of serious literature while making highly individualized choices about what to read that is informed only in part by critics who guide their intellectual, moral, and social tastes. Today we read texts only 140-characters long. We have trouble spending hours alone in the solitary company of a challenging book. We crave diverting entertainment. We need our blockbuster novels—pitched to a fifth-grade reading level—to become blockbuster movies. Reading them, watching them, sharing our sense of community with our friends who have experienced them affirms our sense of belonging and entitlement.
We become part of a groupish phenomenon. We are no longer discerning readers with singular lives informed by the judgments of critics who make assessments based on standards of great literature. Our book tastes are dictated by advertising, movie trailers, YouTube videos, and tweets.
There is the "Harry Potter" series (seven in all), which was inaugurated in 1997. There is the "Twilight" series (four) introduced in 2005. There is "The Hunger Games" trilogy, introduced in 2008. All are pitched for the young adult market. "Fifty Shades of Grey" borrows shamelessly from "Twilight" while assuming the "Mommy Porn" format. Think "Sex and the City" (sex, sex, sex pitched as romance, romance, romance —plot optional) with a faux innocence meant to simulate the sensibility of "Twilight".
But "Fifty Shades of Grey" comes with a naughty bag of toys and a kinky "bondage/discipline, dominance/submission, sadism/masochism (BDSM)" gestalt (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fifty_Shades_Of_Grey). "Fifty Shades of Grey", as the entry in Wikipedia notes, was conceived as "Twilight" fan fiction, and its two central characters were modeled after Edward Cullen and Bella Swan. Imagine "Twilight" turned inside out and pitched to adult woman (more or less) seeking titillation (and check out my essay "Twilight, Harry Potter, and the Youthful Reader: Morality, Gender, and $$$ in Today's Fantasy Blockbusters", http://www.literarygulag.com/blog/show/62).
But all that misses the point. I think Stieg Larsson's "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" series is founded upon the same formula. In today's book market you self-publish (with generally meager sales) and/or try to market your fiction with formulaic strategies targeting the quasi literate (George Gissing's "quarter-educated mob") who are influenced by blockbuster sales, movie adaptations, and all the associated merchandise. The so-called literary writers are less and less literary and increasingly relegated to the academic ghettos. Then, there are the celebrities—in name or spirit—who pen their infamous memoirs. Why have the alternatives become so limiting? Americans today barely read, yet they crave the public affirmation that comes with "Everyone else is reading what I'm reading!" We want to witness the private lives of celebrities, craving their gilded privilege while, simultaneously, routing for their ruin.
2) Let's face it. Some books one reads for fun and adventure, and some I refer to as "airport reading". Is there no one out there who labels certain books as maudlin, vapid or insipid?
No, in our postmodern era, hierarchical assessments informed by an appreciation of high culture have become taboo. You are not permitted to venerate Shakespeare's "Hamlet" while debunking "Fifty Shades of Grey". No one must be judged by the content of what they read. Indeed with the advent of e-books and tablets, you can read your pornography nearly anywhere with impunity. Today readers actually feel morally validated when they read a trashy best seller. Why? Because the average or mean dictating the so-called literary marketplace keeps getting dumbed down, down, and down. Instead of being embarrassed by the "lit trash" they "consume", readers feel vindicated because the books they read are now the standard bearers of the publishing marketplace.
In other words, in today's mass market, celebratory culture "The Da Vinci Code" trumps "Don Quixote". If women read the same bestseller not only are they deemed to be savvy readers they are also credited with discerning taste since their selection is affirmed by thousands of other women reading the same book. Indeed, virtually no one has read anything else, so to have a conversation about a serious novel these days requires that you either enter an MFA program/literary workshop or join a book club where people committed to serious literature agree to read the same selections. These are the only ways you're likely to have an informed conversation about anything other than a blockbuster novel. Thus, the individual who reads personal selections from the Western Canon and adheres to literary standards of excellence has, in effect, become a solitary reader in a Literary Gulag where, ironically enough, to be imprisoned is to be set free.
3) I wonder what it says about the United States of America as a nation—the best seller lists. Your thoughts?
Yes, well, let's examine "The New York Times Best Seller list" in fiction (print and e-books) for the week of August 19th, 2012, http://www.nytimes.com/best-sellers-books/2012-08-19/combined-print-and-e-book-fiction/list.html. No. 1 is "Fifty Shades of Grey" (E.L. James). No. 2 is the second in her trilogy, "Fifty Shades Darker". No. 3 is the third in her series, "Fifty Shades Freed". No. 4, "Gone Girl" (Gillian Flynn), is about a woman who disappears on the fifth anniversary of her marriage, and the reader is left wondering if she was murdered by her husband. No. 5, "Odd Apocalypse" (Dean Koontz), is about a man who communicates with the dead. No. 6, "Bared To You" (Sylvia Day), is about an obsessive relationship between two people. No. 7, "Where We Belong" (Emily Giffin), is about a woman and the mysterious young girl who shows up and is linked to our heroine's past. Nos. 8 & 9 are Harlequin romances by, respectively, Susan Mallery and Linda Lael Miller. No. 10 is by romance writer Danielle Steel. No. 11 is "Slammed" (Colleen Hoover), about love and slam poetry. No. 12 is "Black List" by Brad Thor, a suspense thriller about a pending terrorist attack. No 13, "The Light Between Oceans" (M.L. Stedman), tells the story of a lighthouse keeper, his wife, and the baby they rescue who washes ashore. No. 14, "Deep Down" (Lee Child), is part of the Jack Reacher crime series. No. 15, "I, Michael Bennett", is a detective story by James Patterson and Michael Ledwidge.
Conversely, take a look at "The New York Times Best Seller list" in fiction for January 1, 1950 beginning with the No. 1 and proceeding down the list: "The Egyptian" by Mika Waltari; "Mary" (Asch novel) by Sholem Asch; "A Rage to Live" by John O'Hara; "The Way West" by A. B. Guthrie Jr.; "One on the House" by Mary Lasswell; "The Woman of Rome" by Albert Moravia; "The Big Fisherman" by Lloyd C. Douglas; "Let Love Come Last" by Taylor Caldwell; "The Man with the Golden Arm" by Nelson Algren; "The Mudlark" by Theodore Bonnet; "Loving" by Henry Green; "Prince of Egypt" by Dorothy Clarke Wilson; "The Dream Merchants" by Harold Robbins; "Cry, the Beloved Country" by Alan Paton; "The Sheltering Sky" by Paul Bowles; and "Gypsy Sixpence" by Edison Marshall, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Times_Fiction_Bestsellers_of_1950#January_1.2C_1950. This list was created in 1950, a few years before I was born.
Yet I have read the fiction of at least six of these writers: John O'Hara, Alberto Moravia, Nelson Algren, Henry Green, Harold Robbins, and Paul Bowles. Arguably I should have read A. B. Guthrie Jr.'s book since it won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction in 1950. Alan Paton's "Cry, The Beloved Country" presents the story about a black Anglican priest in South Africa in search of his son Absalom. It seems familiar; maybe I've looked at it. Certainly, it's the type of novel I often feel compelled to read or used to feel compelled to read until everything became politically correct.
By contrast, from the 2012 list the only two writers whose fiction I'm sure I've read were E.L. James and Danielle Steel. I looked at both in order to research my fiction or my literary criticism. Perhaps I've also read Lee Child, again for research purposes, although I've managed thus far to avoid reading James Patterson. The question for me, then, is the following: Why is nothing on "The New York Times Best Seller list" today of interest to me? And why should I have read or wished to read books by half the writers on the list in 1950? The reason is, of course, that the fiction was better written in 1950 than it is today and much more varied. Writers had life experiences that informed their stories instead of going directly into MFA programs and writing about "little me".
Many people in 1950 read fiction to understand the world. Today, no one reads fiction to understand the world. Even if they wanted this kind of fiction, where would they find it? The publishing world is entirely feminized and politically correct and that fictional world espouses the liberal progressive values of multicultural social justice at the expense of painful reality. Today's readers embrace fiction to validate their moral worth, not to discover excruciating truths. Truth, for them, is the enemy drenched in steroids, capable of indiscriminate carnage, and willfully destructive of their fabulist universe. I have argued in my essays archived on Literary Gulag that everything revealing and important about life in America has been excised from today's fiction.
4) Fortunately, I will be in London in August for about a week, and will peruse what the public is reading there. Are the Brits more sophisticated than readers in the U.S.?
Let's not go overboard. Remember that E.L. James, author of the "Fifty Shades of Grey" trilogy, is British, and, of course, so is J.K. Rowling who wrote the "Harry Potter" series.
Nevertheless, there are British writers whose fiction I enjoy. I recommend Will Self's "The Book of Dave" (2006), a fabulist tale of London set both now and 500 years in the future. I also like his short story collection "Liver: A Fictional Organ with a Surface Anatomy of Four Lobes". His book "Umbrella" is current on the list of books under consideration for the 2012 Man Booker Prize.
I also have been reading Edward St. Aubyn's "Melrose" series. Of these "Mother's Milk" was shortlisted for the 2006 Man Booker Prize. I suggest beginning with "Never Mind" and reading them all sequentially. Imagine if Evelyn Waugh had been reborn as Edward St. Aubyn. The outcome: pathos, comedy, and tragedy suffused with boredom and wit.
I highly recommend the BBC TV series, "House of Cards" (1990, 1993, 1995, downloadable from Netflix) based on the novels by Michael Dobbs ("House of Cards", "To Play the King", "The Final Cut"). Dobbs was the former chief of staff at Conservative Party headquarters in Britain, and he knows his political theater. That series is ranked 84th out of the best 100 TV series ever made in Britain (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_of_Cards). It's witty, smart, funny, dare I say, brilliant? The type of film you seldom, if ever, see these days. Kevin Spacey will be making a U.S. adaptation for American television set to air, I believe, in 2013. The BBC TV series and the novels can be taught together, that is, if you can get your hands on the novels.
5) There are some writers who actually seem to get better with age. I have just finished "11/22/63" and "Under the Dome" and will have to write Stephen King and tell him, he is actually getting better- incorporating history, with culture, with a love story, while also delving into mystery, and the human spirit and religion in "Under the Dome". Are there writers who twenty years ago, you may have scoffed at, but now examine more positively?
So far no surprises. I was disappointed in some of the short stories of Saul Bellow (from his Collected Stories, published in 2001). Years before I had read "Herzog" and "Humboldt's Gift" and had been awed. Then, I read "The Adventures of Augie March" and was reminded all over again of Bellow's tremendous gifts. Nevertheless, I decided that writers are generally either short story writers or novel writers. Rarely can they do both brilliantly. You're either working on a large canvas (novel) or concentrating on a moment in time (short story). While I prefer writing on a big canvas (see my novels "The Cusp of Dreams", http://www.amazon.com/The-Cusp-Dreams-Diana-Sheets/dp/0557243734 and "American Suite", http://www.amazon.com/American-Suite-Diana-E-Sheets/dp/1934978337), I date my reawakened adult passion for fiction to my discovery of the short stories by John Cheever and Harold Brodkey.
6) The phenomenal success of "Fifty Shades of Grey" is a mystery to me. These books seem to "magically appear" and run rampant. Are people that starved for a good book, or do they just mindlessly follow what everyone else is reading?
The answer is that today people's taste for fiction is largely dictated by publishers. So yes, they mostly follow the trend. If everyone is reading a certain book, it has cachet. But my interest is in considering the situation from the vantage point of a historian. What I find fascinating is the devolution of style and content, e.g. BDSM. May I recommend that you start by reading Marquis de Sade's "Justine", published in 1791 followed by his "The 120 Days of Sodom", which he penned in 1785?
Then read Anne Desclos's "Story of O", which was written under the pen name of Pauline Réage and scandalously published in 1954. Skip forward in time to Catherine Millet's pathetic confessional "The Sexual Life of Catherine M" (2001) of being "gang banged" and all that. Conclude with "Fifty Shades of Grey" (read, if you have the will power, time, and inclination the rest of her trilogy provided you don't have to spend a dime). Compare the style of prose, the complexity of the sentences, the plot, the sentiments. The "Story of O" might be interpreted as a literary rendering of "The 120 Days of Sodom" presented from a female point of view. "The Sexual Life of Catherine M" parodies "Story of O" while posing as titillating "tell-all" memoir. "Fifty Shades of Grey" is a parody of parody, a mockery of both "Twilight" and fiction earnestly engaged in depicting BDSM. "Fifty Shades of Grey" does not shock. (Nor, for that matter, did "The Sexual Life of Catherine M".)
It's for the women who want to spice up their concept of romance with a little naughtiness primed to give it a kinky twist. "Fifty Shades of Grey" offers neither literary style nor plot substance. It's not even bonafide degradation. Let's call it today's semi-decadent, suburban foreplay. Not surprisingly its chief benefit has been to inspire the merchandising of BDSM sex props to facilitate the acting out of sex scenes depicted in the novel.
7) Pathos—no relation to Athos of "The Three Musketeers". Is this what we are coming to?
Oh, yes.
8) Authors nowadays seem to be resurrecting the dead—dead themes, dead issues, nothing fresh, new or vibrant. . . . Or I am off on this?
We agree. But I'm not the authority on the zombie books, films, games or otherwise. My interest is, however, related to the cultural zombies inhabiting academe, schools, and libraries who under the guise of social justice and cultural relativity are laying waste to our culture.
9) Lastly, you always seem to be working on something that will grab the public by the jugular vein- how about a sneak preview of your next work?
I'd be delighted. I'm presently covering the 2012 presidential election. Given my expertise as a political historian (Ph.D. Columbia University) who has studied why popular conservatism continues to sway voters in the age of mass democracy, I am and will be covering the 2012 presidential election on my website, Literary Gulag. I am interested in how Barack Obama and Mitt Romney present their stories to voters. I've just posted my first essay, "Righteous Battles: The Foundations of Political Warfare in the 2012 Presidential Election," which examines how our moral belief systems influence who we are likely to support for president, http://www.literarygulag.com/blog/show/69. My next essay will look at the role of personal narrative—the biographical stories that have shaped the lives of Obama and Romney—and how this influence is shaping their political and economic strategies. I hope my perspective will provide readers with an insightful approach that reveals what's really driving this campaign, and why it's become so nasty.

This book contains an account of the 2,352 families (close to 3,000 counting cadet lines) that had one member sit in either House of the English, British, or United Kingdom Parliament, the Irish Parliament, or the Scottish Parliament between 1660 and 1945 and was represented in one of these Parliaments by at least three members at any time between the Middle Ages and 2015. Nearly 20,000 individuals are included in the main listings. Information is provided about social origins, ownership of country houses, wealth, honors, offices held, and links with associated families. The list provides a comprehensive reference source for the governing class of Great Britain and Ireland from Oliver Cromwell to Winston Churchill, and offers a deep pool of data to support analysis of social, political, economic, and cultural history in the British Isles over the course of more than four centuries. The British and Irish ruling class was a political, social, and economic elite. It constituted a hereditary landed aristocracy, constantly renewed and expanded by commercial and manufacturing wealth, that dominated government into the nineteenth century, remained potent in the twentieth century, and helped shape the modern world.

Robin Williams's Napa Estate Sells for $18.1 Million — About Half of Original Asking Price

Robin Williams's family is one step closer to finding closure.
The actor's Napa estate, which has been on and off the market since 2012, has finally sold for $18.1 million. That's a pretty penny for sure, but down from the original asking price of $35 million.
Williams built the home in 2003 when he was married to his second wife, Marsha Garces. (Photo: Joycerey.com)
Williams, who committed suicide in 2014 after battling depression and Lewy body dementia, built the home dubbed Villa Sorriso (or Villa of Smiles) in 2003. It is located atop the Mayacamas Mountains between Napa and Sonoma Valleys and is set on a tremendous 653 acres. The main house is 20,000-square-feet with five bedrooms, 11 bathrooms, a home theater, elevator, three safe rooms, and an oak-paneled library with "Carpe diem," or "Seize the day" in Latin, etched into a mother-of-pearl panel. (The actor memorably used the phrase in Dead Poets Society.)
The grounds include 18.4 acres of vineyards producing Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc wines for Robert Craig Winery and Rombauer Vineyards. There's also a 3,200-square-foot guest house, seven-stall horse barn, tennis court, riding trails, and a spring-fed pond.
The original asking price for the home was $35 million. It sold for $18.1 million. (Photo: Joycerey.com)
The grand house, which was built during his second marriage to Marsha Garces, became a thorn in Williams's side less than a decade after it was built. He first listed it in 2012 for $35 million but had no takers. In an interview the following year with Parade magazine, he openly spoke about how his divorces ate away much of his cash flow, which was why he was returning to TV in the failed comedy The Crazy Ones and unloading the home, which was about an hour north from the Tiburon, Marin County, home where he died.
"There are bills to pay. My life has downsized, in a good way," the beloved funnyman said. "I'm selling the ranch up in Napa. I just can't afford it anymore. … Divorce is expensive."
Several months before he died, in April 2014, he put the house back on the market for $29.9 million. It was removed around the time of his passing. Then it was back on the market in Nov. 2014 at $25.9 million. The buyers are French winemakers Alfred and Melanie Tesseron, who intend to make wine on the property, according to People magazine. They paid $18.1 million — $4.8 million less than the current $22.9 listing price.
Williams's third wife, Susan Schneider, and his three grown children became involved in a legal dispute over his estate and the separation of assets. However, according to a trust the actor established, the money from the sale of the Napa house goes to his kids, in trust, while Susan remains able to reside in the Tiburon for the rest of her life.


One day a farmer's donkey fell down into the old dry well at the back of his farm.While the farmer tried to figure out what to do, the donkey began crying. The crying turned into non-stop braying.
It became so overwhelming, you could feel the animal's fear and desperation as it begged for help.
After several hours, the farmer felt he had no choice but to put the animal down. He simply didn't know what to do. The donkey was old, and the well needed to be covered anyway.
And so with a heavy heart, the farmer called all his neighbors over and asked them to help him put his beloved donkey out of its misery.Each one of his neighbors grabbed a shovel and began scooping up dirt, and then tossing it down into the well.The donkey, who was a little old, but FAR from stupid. Immediately he realized what was happening and his crying got even LOUDER. But then… after a few minutes, the donkey suddenly regained his composure and quieted down.The farmer looked down into the well, and he was astonished at what he saw: Every time someone shoveled dirt down into the well… instead of letting the dirt pile up on him… the donkey shook the dirt off his back and stepped up onto it.And as each new scoop of dirt was tossed into the well, the donkey continued stepping up — higher and higher, over time.Pretty soon, the farmer and all his neighbors stood there in amazement, as the donkey stepped up and out, over the edge of the well… shook the final clumps of dirt off his back… and walked over to the farmer who greeted him with tears, love and smiles.The moral of the story: From time to time… life is going to shovel some dirt on you.All kinds of dirt, in fact. And sometimes, that dirt is going to feel like it's piling up so deep and so high… it feels like you're going to collapse underneath the weight of it all.The trick to getting out of the well isn't to fight the dirt, or stop the dirt, or to turn the dirt into gold. You have no control over these things, and all that's going to do is take away your energy and frustrate you even more, leading you into more desperation.The thing to do is what the old donkey did. Shake it off… and take a step up.
Got Dirt? The New Year is bound to toss some dirt your way – it's your choice as to what to do with it. I hope you take the step up too.
* No animals were harmed in the telling of this story.
Thank God, you had me worried at the begining of this story. Being buried alive would be a real horror. Poor donkey, so glad he got out.


(WASHINGTON, D.C.) - Congressman Jamie Raskin (MD-08) has introduced legislation to help stop President Donald Trump's ongoing violations of the Constitution's Domestic Emoluments Clause. Raskin's bill, the Heightened Oversight of Travel, Eating, and Lodging (HOTEL) Act (H.R. 5304) would prohibit government agencies from using taxpayer dollars to stay or dine at hotels, restaurants, and other properties owned by the President, the President's family, or the head of any other executive agency.
Unlike previous presidents, Donald Trump has refused to divest himself of his business holdings and instead retained his ownership interest in the Trump Organization, a decision presenting constant ethical problems and potential constitutional violations.
The Constitution prohibits the President from receiving any emolument (any profit, benefit, gift, or payment) other than his salary while in office, but President Trump has continued to receive profits from his properties. These profits include taxpayer money paid to Trump properties by various federal government agencies patronizing Trump businesses.
The HOTEL Act would prohibit the use of taxpayer dollars for paying executive branch employees' per diem allowance or travel reimbursements for lodging or dining services at any properties owned by the President or his family.
Recent reports demonstrate the need for such a ban: This week, Americans learned that the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) had spent a staggering $138,093 in travel expenses at 12 different Trump properties in the first eight months of the Trump administration. Trump's expensive Mar-a-Lago resort charged the U.S. Secret Service at least $63,700 between February and April of 2017 alone. It also billed the U.S. Coast Guard $1,092 for a two-night stay by an employee traveling on official government business. The Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C., which secured a 60-year lease from the government in 2013, presents significant conflicts of interest and has also received taxpayer funds. Last month, CNN reported that the General Services Administration (GSA), the government entity tasked with overseeing the lease and protecting taxpayers' interests in the agreement, was billed $1,650 by the Trump International Hotel and its onsite restaurant. This payment merits extra scrutiny, as it occurred shortly before the GSA suddenly reversed its previous determination that Trump's ownership of the hotel would violate a provision of the agreement barring elected officials from deriving any benefit from the lease.
Congressman Jamie Raskin represents Maryland's 8th Congressional District, which includes Montgomery, Frederick, and Carroll counties. He is the Vice Ranking Member of the House Judiciary Committee, a Senior Democratic Whip, and Freshman Representative to the House Democratic Steering & Policy Committee. He also serves on the House Oversight & Government Reform Committee and the Committee on House Administration. He has been a professor of constitutional law at American University's Washington College of Law for more than 25 years.


I don't like the fact that I must pay ~700:- for a full-ticket to the Uppcon-convention when I'm only interested in watching ScReWs performance.
Apparently, one-day tickets don't include the concert – what a silly idea! Now when ScReW finally comes to Sweden – why hinder people from going to the concert???
If it would be in Stockholm, OK…. but Uppsala? No, I do NOT approve.

The Waifs and John Butler co-headline Bendigo Blues and Roots Music Festival
NewsLocal newsInterviewFeaturesFeatures
Get the family together! The ninth annual Bendigo Blues and Roots Music Festival serves up a jam-packed four days of music, talent, art, community, and fun for the whole family. With over 130 acts across 40 venues, the festival is a true celebration and reflection of the blues and roots scene in Bendigo and across the world. While there will be acts storming in from Canada, Germany, and New Zealand, it's the Australian talent that takes the forefront.
This year the festival reunites old friends in a co-headline spot for the ages, boasting two of the most prominent blues and roots acts this country has to offer up, John Butler and The Waifs.
"Our manager is John's manger as well so there's been a bit of a family connection for a number of years," says The Waifs frontman Joshua Cunningham. "I remember John early on; he was the legend of John Butler – a busker on the streets of Fremantle way back in the day. We did shows together, he actually opened up for The Waifs playing solo a few times and his star was really on the rise, and then he got his trio together and launched into the stratosphere. He's a wonderful human being and very inspiring and I feel very privileged to have had a connection to him and his whole world over the years."
The Waifs have just as rich of a history as Butler in the Australian music scene from their humble roots in Albany.
"We're going into our 28th year now and it's one thing playing music together – it's a really magical experience, but then I think about the fact that I've had these people in my life a lot more of it than less of it. One of the greatest attractions and appeals of getting to do what I do is getting to do it with those people. When you mention the word family, it really is that. Coming together for a few weeks here and there and getting to spend time and travel and have adventures and make music is really amazing privilege and one that I really cherish," Cunningham says. "The connection runs so deep it's like a subconscious, intuitive thing that you don't really think it through, it's just there. It's an amazing thing really."
The group has just returned from their extensive US tour, where unfortunately guitarist and vocalist, Donna Simpson, was struck down by pneumonia. Now on the recovery, the band are excited to bring their show back home in a festival setting. While the headline acts are the drawcard (and rightly so), it is the undiscovered talent that Cunningham can't wait to see.
"Festivals are fantastic for that. You're always making new discoveries. Invariably you look at the bill of the festival you're playing at and be excited about people that you know about, but to me the best part of the festival is when you make that discovery. Suddenly you've got a new amazing CD to listen to or music to get excited about," he laughs. "It's a very healthy community. I think Australia can really hold its head up high for the wealth of inspiring and amazing creative output – not just in music, in lots of different forms. There's no end of amazing talent out there and it seems every year there's a wave of new young people who are just beginning their journey. It's an incredible thing and an incredible thing to be a part of."
That amazing talent will be sprawled across Bendigo over the four days. The two headliners will appear on the Ulumbarra Theatre stage while Rosiland Park will be transformed will two stages; Bull Street and Water Street will host colourful street parties; and venues, cafes, hotels and parking spaces in the CBD as well as into White Hills, Golden Square, Quarry Hill, Long Gully, Kangaroo Flat and as far as Ravenswood, Cornella and Maldon will light up with a-class talent for the community.
"That's another great thing about music too, it's not just about the community of the band that you play in but it's the community of the people you get connected to and meet and form really special friends with. Community and creativity; they're two very potent forces and I think as those things rise up in the world I think they really do a lot of good."
The Waifs are certainly contributing to the two C's and are continuing to do so with plans for new music on its way.
"There is new music there and when the time is right we will get together and get it out," confirms Cunningham. "I think we're close!"
While we wait, relive The Waifs career-defining hits as Bendigo Blues and Roots Music Festival takes over the streets of Bendigo 7 – 10 November 2019.

Q: Looping or repeating a group of tasks until success I currently have a playbook which includes a task file. In that task file, I would like to check for a condition. If the exit code of that condition is not equal to 0, all steps in the task file should be repeated. I have tried a few variations with block and loops but I have not figured out a way to make it do what I described above.
Currently I have something like this:
tasks:
  - name: call task file
    include: task_file.yml

In task_file.yml,
- name: perform an operations
  shell: do A

- name: check
  shell: do B
  register: result

Next, I would like to tell the main playbook that if result.rc != 0, please repeat task_file.yml until result.rc == 0.
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated
The playbook seems to end no matter what the exit code.

A: There's no direct way to reach your goal as include_tasks does not support the retry/until loop keywords.
There is an attempt to circumvent that limitation by teaching ansible a new loop_control.until keyword for loops which could be used for includes. Unfortunately, the pull request has been opened since Sep. 2019 and has still not reached a realease.
The good news is you can implement that with some work by using include recursion with a block. The below example is largely inspired by a blog article on https://dev.to. I adapted to the current context, fixed some good practice and added features like flexible retries number and delay between retries. Here we go:
The tasks to be retried go in task_file.yml
---
- name: group of tasks to repeat until success
  block:
    - name: increment attempts counter
      ansible.builtin.set_fact:
        attempt_number: "{{ attempt_number | d(0) | int + 1 }}"

    - name: dummy task
      ansible.builtin.debug:
        msg: "I'm a dummy task"

    - name: task to check for success.
      # Just for the example. Will return success on attempt number 3
      ansible.builtin.command: "[ {{ attempt_number | int }} -eq 3 ]"
      changed_when: false

  rescue:
    - name: "Fail if we reached the max of {{ max_attempts | d(3) }} attempts"
      # Default will be 3 attempts if max_attempts is not passed as a parameter
      ansible.builtin.fail:
        msg: Maximum number of attempts reached
      when: attempt_number | int == max_attempts | int | d(3)

    - ansible.builtin.debug:
        msg: "group of tasks failed on attempt {{ attempt_number }}. Retrying"

    - name: add delay if needed
      # no delay if retry_delay is not passed as parameter
      ansible.builtin.wait_for:
        timeout: "{{ retry_delay | int | d(omit) }}"
      when: retry_delay is defined

    # include ourselves to retry.
    - ansible.builtin.include_tasks: task_file.yml

As you can see, the file includes itself again in case of failure until success of max attempts is reached. Also, note that a retry will happen if any task fails inside the block, not only the last one. If you have a more complex scenario, you can implement more checks for fail/not fail in the rescue section an even add an always section if needed. See anbile blocks
Then you can call this file from your playbook:
---
- hosts: localhost
  gather_facts: false

  tasks:
    - name: Include tasks to retry. 7 attempts max with 1 second delay
      ansible.builtin.include_tasks: task_file.yml
      vars:
        max_attempts: 7
        retry_delay: 1

Playing this example succeeds on third attempt as hardcoded and expected. (You can play around with the parameters to test a fail scenario)
