Q: reverse geocoding locality returns nil on device, works on simulator I don't know how or why this is happening, is there anyway around it?
crash is happening in this method
  func getLocation(completion: @escaping (String) -> Void) {

    guard let longitude = (locationManager.location?.coordinate.longitude) else {
        return
    }

    guard let latitude = (locationManager.location?.coordinate.latitude) else { return }

    let location = CLLocation(latitude: latitude, longitude: longitude)
    print(location)

    CLGeocoder().reverseGeocodeLocation(location, completionHandler: {(placemarks, error) -> Void in
        print(location)

        if error != nil {
            print("Reverse geocoder failed with error" + error!.localizedDescription)
            return
        }

        if placemarks!.count > 0 {
            let pm = placemarks![0]
            print("locality is \(pm.locality)") //prints: locality is nil
            completion(pm.locality!) //crash: fatal error: unexpectedly found nil while unwrapping an Optional value
        }
        else {
            print("Problem with the data received from geocoder")
        }
    })

}

and calling this function in viewDidLoad like this
  getLocation( completion: {
        locality in
        self.city = locality
            print("youre living in \(self.city)")
    })

Like I said this works perfectly in the simulator (my location setting is a city bicycle ride)
I'm open to solutions, if there is any better way to get the user city.

A: The code you have written completion(pm.locality!) has done Forced Unwrapping. You try to access the locality property of pm, by placing an exclamation mark after locality to force the unwrapping of its value, you trigger a runtime error, because there is no value to unwrap.Forced Unwrapping is done only when your are sure that it contains a value.
Optional chaining is an alternative to forced unwraping which is done by placing question mark sign after the optional value.For example
 if let locality = pm?.locality {
   print(locality)
 }

This tells Swift to "chain" on the optional pm property and to retrieve the value of locality if pm exists.
If you are still confused about optional you can get detail information Here
func getLocation(completion: @escaping (String) -> Void) {

guard let longitude = (locationManager.location?.coordinate.longitude) else {
    return
}

guard let latitude = (locationManager.location?.coordinate.latitude) else { return }

let location = CLLocation(latitude: latitude, longitude: longitude)
print(location)

CLGeocoder().reverseGeocodeLocation(location, completionHandler: {(placemarks, error) -> Void in
    print(location)

    if error != nil {
        print("Reverse geocoder failed with error" + error!.localizedDescription)
        return
    }else{
        var address:String = "Not Found"
        let placeArray = placemarks

        // Place details
        var placeMark: CLPlacemark?
        placeMark = placeArray?[0]
        // Street address
        if let street = placeMark?.addressDictionary?["Thoroughfare"] as? NSString {
            address = street as String
        }
        // City
        if let city = placeMark?.addressDictionary?["City"] as? NSString {
            address += "," + (city as String)
        }

        completion(address)
    }
  })
}

A: Try this:
let geoCoder = CLGeocoder()
        let location = CLLocation(latitude:latitude, longitude:longitude)

        geoCoder.reverseGeocodeLocation(location, completionHandler: { (placemarks, error) -> Void in

            // Place details
            var placeMark: CLPlacemark!
            placeMark = placemarks?[0]

            // Address dictionary
            print(placeMark.addressDictionary)

            // Location name
            if let locationName = placeMark.addressDictionary!["Name"] as? NSString {
                print(locationName)
            }

            // Street address
            if let street = placeMark.addressDictionary!["Thoroughfare"] as? NSString {
                print(street)
            }

            // City
            if let city = placeMark.addressDictionary!["City"] as? NSString {
                print(city)
            }

            // Zip code
            if let zip = placeMark.addressDictionary!["ZIP"] as? NSString {
                print(zip)
            }

            // Country
            if let country = placeMark.addressDictionary!["Country"] as? NSString {
                print(country)
            }

        })


As the current President of the Mid Ohio Walking Horse Association, I feel that I must respond to the recent letter to the editor from Roxanne Bennett Nelson.
This association started in 1974. At that time most of the members owned and showed padded horses and most show classes were for padded horses. As we all know, the industry has changed a lot over the years. Presently, most of our members own flat shod horses and, in this area, most show classes are for flat shod horses. However, until recently, our shows included a full complement of classes for padded horses.
In the early 1990's, we moved our shows to a new facility in Wilmington, Ohio, and made a big push to attract performance Walking and Racking Horses. For several years, these shows were very successful and both the performance and pleasure divisions were full. The Bennett family was very instrumental in that success, and we certainly appreciated their efforts. However, one fact of show life in Ohio is that since there are so few shows for Walking Horses, the USDA will show up at most of them, especially the big ones. Trainers would leave the show when the USDA arrived and were reluctant to return for future shows. Our padded classes were getting smaller and smaller while our pleasure horse entries were growing and asking for more classes. As anyone who runs a business or puts on a show knows, you have to meet the demands of your market. Furthermore, if you try to cut too many classes from a division, you effectively kill the division. So, a few years ago, the decision was made by our Show Committee and the Board of the MOWHA to change our show format to all Pleasure Walking Horse classes. As with any difficult decision, some members were pleased and some were not, however, the decision was made for financial reasons. All pleasure shows are very common and very well supported in this area.
However, I can't understand why someone in Ohio who wants to support the performance horse would change breeds just because one of the Walking Horse clubs chooses an all pleasure format. There are three other clubs based in Ohio that have shows with padded classes. I know through my involvement in some of those shows that they would welcome additional entries, especially in the performance classes, which rarely have more than three entries and too often have no entries.
In regard to Equine Affaire, we feel that promotion must be tailored to the intended audience. At any promotional event, the target market is not existing Walking Horse owners, it is horse lovers who may not know anything about the breed. In the past, we have presented padded horses at Equine Affaire only to be besieged with complaints which forced us to spend all our time explaining and defending unnatural looking pads and action devices. It was negative promotion. We decided several years ago to focus on top quality pleasure and versatility horses in order to appeal to most of the attendees at this event. Videos and literature featuring performance horses have always been used but it is the pleasure horse that will bring the most people into the breed. Once they are sold on the Tennessee Walking Horse, they may decide that a performance horse is very appealing to them. But you have to get them interested first, and around here, it is the pleasure horse and the versatility horse that will get them interested in our horses.
As to Mrs. Nelson's suggestion that we change our name...gosh, it's hard to change a name after more than 25 years. At one point we considered it, but the acronym for Mid Ohio Pleasure Walking Horse Association would be MOPWHA and we thought that sounded like an association for fastidious house keepers, which most of us are not, so we just left our name alone. I can think of quite a few Walking Horse clubs that have experienced the same sort of metamorphosis over the years and have not felt it necessary to change their name. Our organization works very hard to promote the Tennessee Walking Horse. We feel no need to apologize for business decisions that were made in the best interests of our club and our breed.


Feb 19 Hello, Gouache, You Are So Fun!
I had a dream the other day that instead of being a watercolour painter who painted house exteriors, I was a gouache painter and I painted really bright and patterned living rooms. When I woke up I felt this shiver of motivation and then for two days I kept thinking about those cute living rooms full of colour and pattern and then I went and bought gouache paints and this happened!
Gouache is kind of like opaque watercolour. It mixes with water and you use similar brushes but instead of leaving the paper as the white part, you can add white later. Also I am finding the colours much brighter and more vibrant. The part I am struggling with is the order of laying paint down and how it behaves. I am so used to layering many watercolour layers one after another but the second you touch water (or another layer of wet paint) to the gouache it reactivates the previous layer and everything starts sliding around! Gah! But fun!
Another challenge that I brought totally on myself is that I made this first painting TINY. Ha! The paper is 6 inches square and I thought this was just an exercise but now I am very attached to this tiny painting and want to keep it!
Has anyone else tried gouache? Are you liking the way this is going? Should I stick to watercolours?


Is there a limit on the number of εγκόλπια hierarchs are permitted to wear? I at first thought the Primates of the Orthodox Churches are permitted three, Metropolitans two, Bishops one...but have seen otherwise.
The archieratical enkolpio is not considered a vestment, but an emblem by which the rank of Bishop is recognized in the Orthodox Church. It was sanctioned as part of the Bishop's attire by royal command in 1856.
As far as the priesthood is concerned all bishops are equal and belong to the same rank, but there is a rank of honour according to the See they occupy. Thus in the Greek Church there is the Patriarch or Archbishop followed by the Metropolitans and Auxiliary bishops or Chorebiscopi. During the Liturgy and other services all Bishops wear the Cross and enkolpio. A Patriarch or Archbishop wears a second enkolpio as a recognisable emblem of his rank. At other official gatherings or functions the Archbishop might wear only the Cross and enkolpio in which case the other Bishops present will wear only the enkolpio.

By far the most common problem with home renovation is that it goes over budget – this is not an issue if you have made provision for this and all of your finances are in order. But if you have decided to renovate on the sly, maybe using some savings, or redraw or credit cards and if you run out of money before the work is finished, the outcome can be very difficult, if not catastrophic.
Why? well start by reading your mortgage contract, you will find that you are not allowed to make any significant changes to the property without advising the mortgagee ( the lender ). After all the house is probably the most important part of what secures your loan and the lender does not want you attacking their security with a sledge hammer unless they are fully informed. So if you knock big holes in the wall and then go to your lender and say "I need some more money please" – the first thing they will probably do is to point out that your are now technically in breach of contract. They could do any number of things depending on how they feel about you at the time, including cancelling your mortgage and giving 21 days to repay in full – failure to do so resulting in all sorts of dreadful outcomes.
If you are lucky and have a good relationship and haven't done anything too silly, your lender will probably arrange a building inspector then insist that you employ a licensed builder to complete the work. If the work is really superficial such as painting, they may simply accept a couple of written quotes – but they will insist that the work is performed by a qualified person. If your mortgage contract allows they may impose a penalty interest rate until you have the home back in an acceptable state.
And if you think that you can just tell your bank to go and jump and apply elsewhere – be prepared to be disappointed. The majority of lenders will not touch a house that is not fully suitable for occupancy and that will be outlined by the valuer. I know of only one lender who will consider a loan in this situation but keep in mind that if your credit cards are maxed out, you are not going to be viewed as the most responsible applicant.
So think twice or just do it properly, advise your lender and comply with their requirements. For a small renovation they will probably request a few written quotes and a detailed list of what work is going to done and by whom. For more significant renovations ie: any work that results in a change of the roof line eg: additional rooms then you will need to apply for a renovation construction loan. Where you will use a licensed builder and he will be paid directly by the lender at specific progress points on the work.
If you have experience in the industry eg: a carpenter etc – then some lenders will consider a loan for owner builder. However usually they will require you to perform up to a specific stage of the work using your own funds eg: lay the slab and then they will fund that amount, which then allows you to move onto the next stage. If you don't have specific industry experience or construction project management experience – your options are very limited and you should be considering a residential construction home loan.

Failure to include appropriate vendor protections in sale and purchase agreements could cost vendors dearly. Vendors entering into GST inclusive sale and purchase agreements (believing the transaction to be zero rated for GST purposes) need to be aware of a purchaser's ability to nominate a non-GST registered entity to complete the purchase – leaving the vendor with an unexpected GST liability.
it will not be used as a principal place of residence.
The ADLS/REINZ sale and purchase agreement contains provisions in its second schedule relating to the GST status of the parties. If the vendor is GST registered it is important that this schedule be correctly completed by both parties. Where the conditions noted above are present, it will become compulsory for the transaction to be zero rated for GST purposes.
The standard agreement, however, contains no prohibition on a purchaser nominating a non GST registered entity after signing. The consequence of such a nomination may alter the GST status of the transaction. If the purchase price is GST inclusive the purchaser will still be obliged to pay the same amount, however, the vendor will be required to account for 15% of the purchase price to the IRD. Following settlement, the purchaser may transfer the property to a GST registered associated party which may claim back a second hand GST credit, achieving a windfall of 15% of the purchase price at the expense of the vendor.
Contrary to popular belief, deleting the "and/or nominee" wording on the front page of the standard agreement will not prevent the purchaser nominating. The right of nomination is a common law right. A purchaser may nominate whether this is provided for in the agreement or not. In order to restrict the ability to nominate, an express provision must be included prohibiting nomination.
Prohibit nomination without the consent of the vendor.
Failure to protect your interests as a vendor can leave you exposed. If in doubt, seek professional advice.

Following Coventry's second successive clean sheet, I'd wondered out loud in a post over the weekend whether or not this was a club record.
'Nilling' the opposition is rare enough these days, but to do so two weeks running is not something I've come across before.
And as if to the confirm just how unusual this is, James Maxwell did a bit of research of his own and has kindly agreed to allow me to include it in today's post. I should add that James is an ardent Cov supporter, presently enjoying a sabbatical of sorts in the Antipodes.
Before his move to the other side of the world, James was a regular at the BPA – is there currently such a committed Cov supporter living anywhere further away from Coventry than James. It would make for an interesting feature in the match programme or on the website – a map of the world with pointers to indicate where our overseas support is based. I bet it's fairly widespread, especially as there are plenty of ex-pats who follow the Twitter feeds on match days.
Anyway, back to the subject in hand. James, or Stato as he's since been christened, looked at all the games played this season in the national leagues from the Premiership all the way down to National 2 (North and South). 5 leagues in all.
As of last weekend, there have been a total of 264 completed fixtures.
And here's the interesting bit, of those 264 games, only 4 have resulted in a team failing to get on the scoreboard.
98.5% of games completed so far have resulted in both teams scoring.
Just 4 games where a team has failed to score …and Coventry is responsible for two of them.
So I would tentatively suggest that given the paucity of games in which at least one side hasn't managed even a single score, the odds of the same team keeping a clean sheet in two consecutive games must be pretty remote. I'm sure it will have happened, but whether it's something Cov has achieved is far less certain.
…itself a misquote of what Gavin Hogg, the OA Head Coach had actually said.
Coventry defensive performances in the two weekends since TRP's comment have certainly questioned the validity of such a statement and a quick look at the National One table shows that Blackheath are presently conceding an average of 17.8 points a game against Coventry's 14.1. And just to add insult to injury, Blackheath leaked more points against Cov than any of the other teams they've so far played – 37 in total.
And the point I'm making is…?
Far from showing any kind of overt disappointment, or even displeasure, at Rowland Winter's decision to leave Granchester Road at the end of the 2015/16 season following their promotion to National One, the good folk at Cambridge clearly remain very fond of their erstwhile Director of Rugby.
You get the feeling that Cambridge is immensely proud of its success under his tenure and also extremely supportive of Coventry's renaissance since he arrived at the BPA. Just as he helped Cambridge grow as a club, so they helped him progress in his own career as an ambitious and aspiring DoR. Those involved with Cambridge have continued to follow his career with interest and it's not unusual for me to receive messages via Twitter from those connected with the club at the end of a Cov game to acknowledge the result and wish the team well.
They are a very friendly club and I'm sure those travelling down by coach on Saturday will be surprised and delighted with the efforts made by Cambridge to welcome Coventry supporters There aren't too many clubs that go to such lengths to provide away supporters with their own room and bar, with food also available on request. It isn't something that Cambridge offer solely to Coventry, but you get the feeling that Coventry's visit is that little bit more special.
But make no mistake, as friendly as they are, Cambridge has every intention of spoiling the party on Saturday.
Come 3,00 o'clock the welcome off the pitch is sure to be matched by the intensity of the rivalry on it. Cambridge would like nothing more than to claim Coventry's scalp as their own, but equally would be just as pleased to see Coventry promoted come the end of the season. 'Blood and Sand', as they are known locally, have had something of a mixed season so far, but in their last three games they've begun to show the kind of form that suggests their performances over the course of the season will ensure they'll finish well above the 14th place they managed last season.
There's no doubt that this will be a tough encounter, but Rowland Winter will travel to Cambridge fully aware of what to expect and players like Narraway, Nilsen, Tuitupou and the like, rested or benched for the last game, will be in the starting squad. The team know exactly what a win would mean to the club, to the supporters and to their DoR.
And whatever happens on the pitch on Saturday, it be left there after the game.
I should also mention for anyone not going down to Cambridge, the home side's Twitter account is about as good as it gets in National One and whilst ours is very much better than it ever was, Cambridge's sets the standard to which we should aspire. There will be regular updates during the game, often with excellent gifs attached. I suggest you follow Cambridge Twitter feed, check Cov's and if that's not enough, follow mine!
For reference, Cambridge 'tweet' from @camrufc .
There are still a limited number of seats available on the second coach (which has been upgraded to a larger size), so if you have a sudden change of heart and fancy coming down with the 'blue 'n white army', there's still time – an email to COV1874@gmail.com is all it takes…that and some flowers, a bottle of wine for your partner and the promise of a better than normal Christmas present this year.
It could be a day to remember if Cov get that record 17th win on the bounce…still would be if they don't, to be fair.
As promised, here are the results of the last week's poll to determine Coventry's 2010-2017 National One Dream Team.
I'm going to publish it in two posts.
The first, today's, lists the squad of players that would have been selected based on the votes cast, made up of the 4 props, 2 hookers, 4 second rows and so on.
In tomorrow's, I'll publish the team itself, made up of the 15 players with the most votes from each of the positions in today's squad.
The idea behind the poll was merely to replicate the kind of discussions you might have with your mates on a Friday night over a drink or two, the kind where you look back over the past 7 years and choose the strongest team possible in your opinion. It leads to some debate, the odd argument and in the end an agreement that there is no right or wrong answer, but in the meantime you've remembered players and games that would otherwise have remained forgotten.
I thought long and hard about including this year's imports as they haven't completed the required 14 games, but to leave them out would have meant that players who more than likely would have appeared in many people's dream team would be missing…and would a squad without Makaafi and Preece, for instance, be representative of the best squad Cov could have assembled over the past 7 years? (Notice I said 'squad' and not 'team' – not wanting to give too much away).
Probably not, according to the results.
The other problem with the poll is that you're not comparing like with like. Budgets 7 years ago and indeed Cov's reputation at that time, didn't allow for the big name players we have seen at Cov of late, and many of those whom we attracted to Cov in 2010/11 and beyond just weren't of the same calibre as those who have come to us from Championship, and even Premiership, in recent seasons.
I was simply interested to know how readers view the current squad in terms of those we've had previously during our time in National One – but maybe this wasn't the best way of going about it.
I thought it also was an interesting way of remembering some of the names of players from the past – certainly a number of people have remarked on the number of players on the list whom they wouldn't have recalled, but what good players they were (or indeed are).
Anyway, the poll proved popular, and I'm indebted to those who took part, of which there were in excess of 170. As a percentage of those who regularly read the blog, it's not as many as usual, but as a number have said in passing, they haven't supported Cov long enough to be able to make a judgement about players they haven't seen.
IMPORTANT – there is absolutely no significance in the order the names appear against each position, so Andy Brown's name ahead of the other three props does not signify he gained more votes.
Evans/Brazier and Jones/Fenner each tied with the same percentage score, but Evans and Jones got the final nod as they achieved more votes. Brazier and Fenner will also be added to the squad but will not be available for selection when the team is announced tomorrow!
22 of the squad are currently at Coventry.
Players in brackets and in black were very close to selection. Alex Nash and Matt Price can count themselves especially unlucky as they were just 1 and 3 votes away respectively.
One or two surprises in there for me – Otutaha ahead of MacBurnie and Myring, Trimble missing out, Parkins ahead of Steenkemp and Thorne. Had I put both Pailor and Dyer in as flankers, would they have got in ahead of some of those who did?
I'll publish the team itself in tomorrow's post.
Whatever the side, it will be a strong one on paper at least. It's only a fantasy team and hopefully in producing it, I won't have ruffled too many feathers, whilst also acknowledging that is not without its flaws.
Well before my time, but a classic nevertheless…Nina Simone released a version before The Animals and good as it was (far more 'bluesy'), this has to be the definitive one.
Love the token Christmas decorations…(at least I think that's what they are).
If it doesn't stay in your head for the rest of the day, then I'll be very surprised.
Blimey, Marcus, that puts Cov's achievement into the shade. I'm ashamed to say I know little of women's rugby – I presume Saracens is the countries top team on those sorts of results. Very happy with the scoreline in the Wasps game though!!!
Great piece of info…many thanks for taking the time to add it to the post, Will certainly check Saracens result at the weekend!
That would be brilliant if you could, Kevin. JB's the man, but it is a big ask!


New York, NY -- One half of infamous rap group Mobb Deep, New York MC and producer Havoc is now taking the solo route for a new release on Nature Sounds Records. The album, entitled The Kush, is scheduled to hit stores on September 18th, and is produced in full by Havoc.

Braking the law: is there, and should there be, an executive veto over laws made by parliament?
Posted on October 16, 2020 by The Constitution Unit
During the Brexit crises of 2019, something exceptionally rare happened twice in less than six months: parliament passed legislation without the government's consent. But are there constitutional veto mechanisms that governments can use to prevent this? In a new Unit report, Paul Evans explores this question in detail. He summarises his conclusions here.
What do executive vetoes look like?
Many constitutional democracies include mechanisms whereby a head of state can veto a law made by the legislature, but few of these are absolute vetoes. Most are suspensory, inviting the legislature to think again, but giving it the last word. The US Constitution is the most obvious example of such an arrangement. France has a broadly similar system but, as with many if not most such vetoes, it isn't used. Some states (for example Iceland) enable the president to put a law to a referendum. Others (such as Ireland) leave the last word with a constitutional court, but only on matters of constitutionality, not on grounds of political disagreement.
In the UK (and most of the old dominions which retain the Queen as head of state) such an arrangement looks impossible. The executive and the legislature are fused – they can't have different views. The executive as a lawmaker in the UK only exists as an element of the sovereign parliament (the somewhat misleadingly titled 'Crown-in-Parliament'). The sovereign has no personal stake in the making of law. They must do as parliament decides. As long ago as 1867, Walter Bagehot expressed this constitutional fact with typical rhetorical brio:
The popular theory of the English Constitution involves two errors as to the Sovereign. First, in its oldest form at least, it considers him as an 'Estate of the Realm', a separate co-ordinate authority with the House of Lords and the House of Commons. This and much else the Sovereign once was, but this he is no longer. That authority could only be exercised by a monarch with a legislative veto. He should be able to reject bills, if not as the House of Commons rejects them, at least as the House of Peers rejects them. But the Queen has no such veto. She must sign her own death warrant if the two Houses unanimously send it up to her. It is a fiction of the past to ascribe to her legislative power. She has long ceased to have any.
Withholding of royal assent
Nonetheless, when the first stirrings of what was to become the Cooper-Letwin Act (the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2019) began in the Commons in early 2019, it was suggested in some quarters that ministers could advise the sovereign to refuse royal assent to an Act agreed upon by parliament. The same argument re-emerged six months later in relation to the Benn-Burt Act (the European Union (Withdrawal) Act (No. 2) 2019), which Boris Johnson insisted on referring to repeatedly as the 'Surrender Act'. But, despite these theoretical arguments, subsequent events appear to have confirmed that this concept of a royal veto is definitely a dead letter. Queen Anne was the last sovereign to decline the royal assent to an Act passed by parliament – in 1707 (or 1708 if you prefer to apply retrospectively the change of the new year from 25 March to 1 January in 1752).

The failed Senate reform in Italy: international lessons on why bicameral reforms so often (but not quite always) fail
Posted on July 20, 2018 by The Constitution Unit
On 11 and 12 June 2018 the Constitution Unit co-hosted two workshops with Rome LUISS university, the first being on 'The challenges of reforming upper houses in the UK and Italy'. This post is the first in a series summarising the speakers' contributions. Here the Unit's Meg Russell reflects broadly on the international challenges of bicameral reform, drawing on experiences in the UK, Italy, Canada, Australia, Ireland, and Spain.
In reflecting on comparisons between the UK and Italy, in many ways our two parliaments are very different. The UK parliament is traditionally seen as weak (though I have disputed this), while the Italian parliament is seen as strong. Connectedly, the UK House of Lords is a wholly unelected institution, while the Italian Senate is largely made up of directly elected members. Nonetheless, one thing that unites the two systems is long-running pressure for bicameral reform. In both countries there have been numerous proposals made for second chamber reform over decades, most of which have failed. The most recent and fairly spectacular examples were the failure of Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg's proposals for Lords reform in 2012, and Prime Minister Matteo Renzi's proposals for Senate reform in 2016, which led to his resignation after voters rejected them at a referendum.
My own interest in bicameral reform dates back to 20 years ago when I began research for my first book, Reforming the House of Lords: Lessons from Overseas. In seeking to learn lessons for Lords reform from other countries, it soon became clear that reform pressures in the UK were far from isolated – if anything, they were the norm. So much so that I dedicated a chapter in that book to comparative pressures for reform.
So why are second chambers worldwide so controversial? And why, given these pressures, do they prove in practice so difficult to reform? The answers to these questions are closely related. Continue reading →

It probably derives from an old parish church called Olubra (maybe ancient name of the present stream, the Lora) and a fortress called castellus Milonus, both preceding the construction in 1290, upon will of Alberto Scoto, of a newer and more fortified castle (no longer existing today) built as outpost in the direction of Pavia. An important rural village grew around the castle. It was ruled by several families and was the setting of many fights throughout history. It was a protagonist of the Italian resistance against the Austrians. Cardinale A. Casaroli, to whom a museum has been dedicated, was born here.

Prince Harry made sure his mother, the late Princess Diana, was part of his engagement to Meghan Markle.
"She would be jumping up and down, so excited for me, but then would probably have been best friends with Meghan," Harry said in the first official interview since announcing their engagement.
The ring, designed by Harry himself, consists of three diamonds. Two of them are "from my mother's jewelry collection."
The center stone is from Botswana, where the couple has vacationed together. The gold band was made by the queen's official jeweler, Cleave and Company.
The prince used yellow gold "because that's her favorite."
He made sure other memories of his beloved mother would be quietly acknowledged during their announcement, as they made their first public appearance as an engaged couple at the Kensington Palace Sunken Garden, which was dedicated to Diana this year to mark the 20th anniversary of her death.
Harry proposed to Markle earlier this month.
It happened a few weeks ago, earlier this month, here at our cottage; just a standard typical night for us," the prince said.
She added: "Just a cozy night, it was — what we were doing? Just roasting chicken? [It was] just an amazing surprise. It was so sweet and natural and very romantic. He got on one knee."

I have often thought, as I have passed by it, that one day, under a special dispensation, I should received from this little pool of water, from this small, green stoup of lustral water, a whisper as to the secret of life. It will be revealed to me, I have thought, as surely and as naturally as the presence of dew makes itself felt on folded twilight flowers found suddenly damp to the touch after the dry butterfly periods of a summer's day.
Always hoping for this hour of grace, I have loitered by the pond's edge at every season...It was on a soft evening of this last September that there came to me the breath of the knowledge that I sought...All was silent, all was expectant. The messenger for who I had awaited was at last revealed.
It was a hare. I saw her from far away and did not so much as venture to move a finger...Nearer and nearer she came. Was she actually intending to drink?...The stillness of the evening was so profound that the fur of a field mouse's jacket brushing against the stems of its grassy jungle would have been audible, while against the sky, infinitely remote, the moon hung in utter calm.
I was suddenly awakened from my rapture. I had heard a sound, a sound sensitive and fresh as soft rain upon a leaf. It was the hare drinking.


The B2B arm of the country's leading ICT and digital service provider, PLDT enterprise, together with ePLDT Inc. held its fourth Philippine Digital Convention at the Marriott Grand Ballroom on June 21-22. It showcased the most transformative technologies that will enable enterprises to become fearless in the face of digital.

"Digital innovation is at the core of our business transformation at the PLDT Group, given the constantly evolving technology landscape of today.

Attendees were also given exclusive access to an array of other groundbreaking technology through the Expo, via experiential exhibitions and live demonstrations, such as virtual reality content holograms.
"The fast pace at which new technologies are introduced is quite daunting – and sometimes overwhelming. Enterprises need to be Fearless. Facing these challenges head on will enable them to be at the forefront of their respective industries. This year's Digicon is bigger and more expansive as we not only launch the products that will revolutionize how enterprises of today will deal with tomorrow, but we're also highlighting the fearless customers and partners who've inspired and challenged us to innovate and push the digital frontiers even further," said SVP and Head of PLDT & Smart Enterprise Business Groups Jovy Hernandez in his opening remarks.
Emmy-nominated National Geographic host and sought-after global keynote speaker Jason Silva headlined the plenary session, deep-diving into exponentially shifting technologies that are shaping humanity.
Industry-focused breakout sessions were held on the second day of the convention—through a series of deep-dive workshops conducted by industry mavens and expert analysts, who covered different sectors such as Banking and Financial Services, Public Sector and Local Government Units, Retail, BPO, Transport & Logistics, and IT & Gaming. The discussions zeroed in on digital adoption—from robotics, cloud-enabled connected marketplaces to gamification and the impact of artificial intelligence and blockchain technologies, among others.
The 2018 Philippine Digital Convention is co-sponsored by Cisco, Fiberhome, Globaltronics, Huawei, Samsung, Nokia, Akamai Technologies, Vectras Inc., Polycom, Dell EMC, HP Enterprise, Intel, Palo Alto Networks, Soprano and Telavi.

Anne Hathaway 'To Play Eliza Doolittle In My Fair Lady'
Les Miserables star reported to be first choice for musical 'reboot'...
Tuesday, March 12, 2013 - 10:23
Anne Hathaway is likely to follow her Oscars success for Les Miserables with the lead role in My Fair Lady, it has been reported.
The Hollywood star is claimed to be the first choice for the role of Eliza Doolittle - famously played by Audrey Hepburn - in a new big-screen version masterminded by West End producer Cameron Mackintosh.
A source told The Sun: "Cameron feels having Anne on board will help replicate the success of Les Mis.
"The cockney accent won't be a problem. She'll pick it up in no time."
Anne, 30, had previously been linked to the Broadway version of the musical - based on George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion - but is now thought more likely to appear in the movie instead.

Context. The blazar 3C 454.3 is one of the most active sources from the radio to the γ-ray frequencies observed in the past few years.
Aims. We present multiwavelength observations of this source from April 2008 to March 2010. The radio to optical data are mostly from the GASP-WEBT, UV and X-ray data from Swift, and γ-ray data from the AGILE and Fermi satellites. The aim is to understand the connection among emissions at different frequencies and to derive information on the emitting jet.
Methods. Light curves in 18 bands were carefully assembled to study flux variability correlations. We improved the calibration of optical-UV data from the UVOT and OM instruments and estimated the Lyα flux to disentangle the contributions from different components in this spectral region.
Results. The observations reveal prominent variability above 8 GHz. In the optical-UV band, the variability amplitude decreases with increasing frequency due to a steadier radiation from both a broad line region and an accretion disc. The optical flux reaches nearly the same levels in the 2008–2009 and 2009–2010 observing seasons; the mm one shows similar behaviour, whereas the γ and X-ray flux levels rise in the second period. Two prominent γ-ray flares in mid 2008 and late 2009 show a double-peaked structure, with a variable γ/optical flux ratio. The X-ray flux variations seem to follow the γ-ray and optical ones by about 0.5 and 1 d, respectively.
Conclusions. We interpret the multifrequency behaviour in terms of an inhomogeneous curved jet, where synchrotron radiation of increasing wavelength is produced in progressively outer and wider jet regions, which can change their orientation in time. In particular, we assume that the long-term variability is due to this geometrical effect. By combining the optical and mm light curves to fit the γ and X-ray ones, we find that the γ (X-ray) emission may be explained by inverse-Comptonisation of synchrotron optical (IR) photons by their parent relativistic electrons (SSC process). A slight, variable misalignment between the synchrotron and Comptonisation zones would explain the increased γ and X-ray flux levels in 2009–2010, as well as the change in the γ/optical flux ratio during the outbursts peaks. The time delays of the X-ray flux changes after the γ, and optical ones are consistent with the proposed scenario.

Wollstonecraft
Philosophy, Passion, and Politics
Sylvana Tomaselli
A compelling portrait of Mary Wollstonecraft that shows the intimate connections between her life and work
Mary Wollstonecraft's A Vindication of the Rights of Woman, first published in 1792, is a work of enduring relevance in women's rights advocacy. However, as Sylvana Tomaselli shows, a full understanding of Wollstonecraft's thought is possible only through a more comprehensive appreciation of Wollstonecraft herself, as a philosopher and moralist who deftly tackled major social and political issues and the arguments of such figures as Edmund Burke, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, and Adam Smith. Reading Wollstonecraft through the lens of the politics and culture of her own time, this book restores her to her rightful place as a major eighteenth-century thinker, reminding us why her work still resonates today.
The book's format echoes one that Wollstonecraft favored in Thoughts on the Education of Daughters: short essays paired with concise headings. Under titles such as "Painting," "Music," "Memory," "Property and Appearance," and "Rank and Luxury," Tomaselli explores not only what Wollstonecraft enjoyed and valued, but also her views on society, knowledge and the mind, human nature, and the problem of evil—and how a society based on mutual respect could fight it. The resulting picture of Wollstonecraft reveals her as a particularly engaging author and an eloquent participant in enduring social and political concerns.
Drawing us into Wollstonecraft's approach to the human condition and the debates of her day, Wollstonecraft ultimately invites us to consider timeless issues with her, so that we can become better attuned to the world as she saw it then, and as we might wish to see it now.

Austrian born singer Tanja Frinta has travelled the world to work on her art. As the band leader in highly regarded underground dream pop outfit Lonely Drifter Karen she developed a penchant for wanderlust: emerging as a solo project in Sweden before moving to Barcelona, where she drafted in new members, on the way through France until settling in Brussels.
This impulsive approach to moving around has also transferred into her music: "My aim is to find the sweet spot between spontaneity, so not over-thinking and over-producing, which would be treating the song like an overbearing mother... letting in accidental randomness, because I don't think that calculation is a good thing".
She found herself working on more music which arrived via excursions to Tokyo and Paris (whilst still being largely based out of Brussels) in the form of Lomboy's excellent EP 'Warped Caress'. Her dream-pop has since added a layer of opium fug; imagine an electronic lounge-music backed version of Gaspar Noé's addiction epic 'Enter The Void,' perhaps.
Lomboy are playing their first London headline show as a full band at Dalston's Archspace venue on May 10th.


The violence unfolded just after 4 p.m. as a gunman tried to carjack two people, killing one and crashing into another, killing the driver.
A bus driver in Seattle was hailed as a hero Wednesday night for navigating his bus with about 12 passengers on board to safety after he was shot by a gunman who also carjacked two vehicles, fatally shooting one driver, before colliding head-on with a third car, killing its driver.
Seattle Deputy Police Chief Marc Garth Green said "we only believe that this is a one lone suspect involved in this random, senseless act" and that "we're outraged at what this suspect did."
Police said they don't know what motivated the gunman to attempt to carjack a woman in the north end of the city, shooting and wounding her, and then open fire on the bus, wounding driver Eric Stark.
The gunman then carjacked a second vehicle, fatally shooting the driver, police said. When officers arrived, he got into the car and drove away, crossing into oncoming traffic and crashing head-on into another car a few blocks away, killing that driver, Green said.
A suspect was arrested after a brief standoff and was taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, authorities said.
Police said that after the gunman shot at the bus and wounded Stark, the driver moved his bus to a safe location.
Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan called Stark a hero who saved lives.
"I want him and his family to know that all the wishes of Seattle go out to him and hope for a speedy recovery," Durkan said at a news conference. She said the city grieves with the loved ones of those killed and injured.
The gunman opened fire on the bus from the street after the first attempted carjacking, police said.
King County Executive Dow Constantine said Stark, a seven-year Metro employee, spoke with detectives at the hospital and described being shot at without warning.
Constantine said Stark detoured the bus out of harm's way despite being shot himself.
"He acted heroically and put the well-being of his passengers above all else," he said.
The suspect was not immediately identified, but officials said he lives in the area and was about 33 years old. Investigators were looking into the gunman's history, and a family member of his who was with him before the shooting is fully cooperating with police, Green said.
"It appears that this was just a random act, that some type of issue surrounding him, either maybe mental health or substance abuse or something along those lines may have triggered this," Green said.
Seattle Fire Chief Harold Scoggins said the person killed in the second carjacking was a 50-year-old man, and the driver killed in the collision was a 70-year-old man.
Washington Gov. Jay Inslee tweeted that he and his wife, Trudi, "are pulling for those injured, grieving for those who were killed, and appreciating the bravery of all who responded and took action to stop the shooter."

Hamstring injuries are common problems that may result in significant loss of on-field time for many athletes because these injuries tend to heal slowly. Once injury occurs, the patient is at high risk for recurrence without proper rest and rehabilitation.
The hamstring muscles are 3 muscles in the posterior thigh: the semitendinosus, semimembranosus, and biceps femoris. The semitendinosus originates at the ischial tuberosity and inserts at the pes anserine; the semimembranosus originates at the ischial tuberosity and inserts at the posterior medial tibia. The biceps femoris has a long head that originates at the ischial tuberosity and a short head at the posterolateral femur and inserts into the head of the fibula. These muscles serve as knee flexors and hip extensors. See the image below.
Normal sagittal alignment permits the knee to lock in full extension, aided by powerful quadriceps and an intact extensor mechanism. The ground reaction force passes anterior to the "center of rotation" of the knee, while the posterior cruciate ligament, posterior capsule, hamstrings, and gastrocnemius provide a tension band effect.
While hamstring injuries can occur in people of any age, incidence increases with age.

Lagring for OS-disk
===================

Sist endret: 2018-09-28

Alternativ 1 ble valgt og produksjonsatt.

Det vi ønsker er å benytte sentral OS-disk som default for alle instanser.
For spesialiserte compute-ressurser vil det være aktuelt med lokal OS-disk,
men disse vil da være i egne availability zones (AZ).

.. contents:: Oversikt

Utfordring
==========

Hvordan kommer vi oss fra dagens løsning med lokal OS-disk til sentral OS-disk?

Alternativ 1
============

Vi lager en ny default AZ med nye compute noder (vi har 2 i OSL og 4 i BGO).
Eksisterende instanser blir værende dere de er og ny instanser havner i ny AZ
med sentral OS-disk.

AZ navn
-------

**Alt A:** <loc>-default-2

**Alt B:** Endrer navn på <loc>-default-1 til <loc>-legacy-1 og opprette en ny
<loc>-default-1

Fordeler
--------

* Slipper å flytte instanser med høyt diskbruk (dvs ingen discard) inn i sentral lagring
* Får en gradvis flytting

Ulemper
-------

* Hvordan hindre at nye instanser ikke havner i gammel AZ? Et prosjekt kan ha både
  nye og gamle instanser

Alternativ 2
============

Lage en ny AZ og flytte alle instanser dit. Vi starter med ledige compute-noder
og så flytter vi de som er tømt over etter hvert som vi flytter. Vi har to
aktive grupper med instanser idag så vi må flytte i to omganger.

AZ navn
-------
**Alt A**: <loc>-default-2

<loc>-default-1 blir ledig etter flytting og kan brukes til neste default AZ.

Fordeler
--------

* Raskere ferdig med endringen

Ulemper
-------

* Vi vil flytte instanser med høyt diskbruk (dvs ingen discard) inn i sentral
  lagring. Det er nå ca 140 instanser uten discard, noe som utgjør litt under 50%.


At least some of the Hawfinches were seen again around the Dog Kennel Lane and Rectory Lane junction as well as near the Church but they were very mobile and elusive, 4 or 5 individuals were seen today.
Around the rocks below and at the Holbeck Car Park there were at least 11 Mediterranean Gulls with 7 adults, 2x 2nd winter and 2x 1st winter; in South Bay there was a Red-throated Diver and a Common Scoter; a Dunlin was in Jackson's Bay; 2 Purple Sandpipers, 41 Redshank and an adult Lesser Black-backed Gull at Scalby Mills and 6 Goosanders on The Mere.
There was a large flock of Lapwings across three fields at Folkton Carr with 12 Golden Plover and 4 Ringed Plovers; in Dalby Forest there were still 50+ Crossbills near Haygate and at Thornton Carr the Green Sandpiper was still in the Charity Farm area.
