the chief constable of kent police has urged the public to continue to stay at home save lives and protect both the nhs and other frontline workers
The Chief Constable of Kent Police has urged the public to continue to stay at home, save lives and protect both the NHS and other frontline workers.
With lockdown measures extended by the Government for at least another three weeks, the requirement for people to adhere to social distancing restrictions is as important now as it was at the beginning of the Covid-19 outbreak.
Chief Constable Alan Pughsley revealed that seven Kent Police officers and staff had been confirmed as having coronavirus, including one who is currently in hospital. Just over 20 others are displaying symptoms and self-isolating as a result.
He said: 'Our sickness absence rate is now down to about 4%, which is incredible and shows just how committed my officers and staff are. We are continuing with normal business in tackling crime and protecting the most vulnerable members of our society, as well as ensuring the new legislation is adhered to. They inspire me every day and I am extremely grateful to them for continuing to do an excellent job in difficult circumstances.
'While we do not know how each of these officers caught the virus or whether or not it was during the course of their policing duties, what this demonstrates is that we are all at risk of contracting Covid-19 even with the protective equipment that all my officers have access to.
'They are putting their health on the line to ensure the people of Kent continue to receive a policing service they can be proud of, and the best way to protect them and other frontline workers is to stay at home. I am pleased to say that the vast majority of people have been doing just that.'
As of Wednesday 15 April 2020 Kent Police officers had issued a total of 53 fines to people who have refused to comply with the social distancing restrictions, including 23 over the Easter Bank Holiday weekend. These included three people who had travelled from London to the beach at Hythe and were caught fishing after previously being asked to go home, and others who had been repeatedly warned against loitering in town centres.
Mr Pughsley said: 'My officers are continuing to engage, explain and encourage people caught in breach of the restrictions, with enforcement used only as a last resort. It is disappointing that my officers had to issue more fines than previously over the Bank Holiday weekend due to a minority of people not doing as they have been asked, but I would like to thank the overwhelming majority who did resist the temptation to leave their homes to enjoy the warm weather.
'These are difficult times for us all and I completely understand why some people, for example those without gardens, may struggle to stay at home for an extended period of time. However, when you consider that more than 12,000 people have already died in the UK, it is of paramount importance that we all do as instructed by the Government.
'There is nothing more important than saving people's lives and we all have a part to play. Please stay at home.'

Rain is expected to fall in Delhi, Haryana, Punjab, and Uttar Pradesh starting July 10.
According to the India Meteorological Department, by July 10, the Southwest monsoon is expected to pass across Delhi, Rajasthan, Haryana, Punjab, and the remaining areas of Western Uttar Pradesh (IMD).
Rainfall starting July 10 will provide relief from the sun's burning heat for inhabitants in these states. The forecast is based on moist easterly winds in the Bay of Bengal, which is expected to start accumulating in Eastern India on Thursday. According to the National Weather Service, the monsoon will be active in the following two days and affect various country regions.
The monsoon's arrival has been predicted when North India, including Delhi, is experiencing extreme heat and Bihar is experiencing significant rain in several areas.
On Monday, the agency predicted that the Southwest monsoon would arrive in Delhi by July 10. This is the first time in 15 years that the monsoon has been delayed in arriving at the national capital.
According to the meteorological service, significant rain is expected in Madhya Pradesh, Vidarbha, and Chhattisgarh. Heavy rain is expected in Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, and Uttar Pradesh starting tomorrow.
Heavy to hefty rainfall is expected in the Konkan, Goa, Madhya Maharashtra, Karnataka, Kerala, Odisha, Coastal Andhra Pradesh, and Telangana July 9 and 11.
According to the IMD's July forecast, there will be plenty of rain across the country this month. However, rainfall may be below average in North India, the South Peninsula, Central, East, and Northeast India.
The heatwave in Rajasthan is still going strong, with the maximum temperature of the day being 45.5 degrees Celsius in Ganganagar on Wednesday. In several state regions, the IMD has issued a heatwave warning for the next 48 hours. However, residents will be able to enjoy some reprieve from the heat thanks to activation.

Chelsea: the great talent hoarders strike again, as Salah heads to the Bridge
By Joe Prince-WrightJan 23, 2014, 1:20 PM EST
On Thursday afternoon Chelsea announced an agreement had been reached with FC Basel to purchase young Egyptian winger Mohammed Salah. With the rising star expected to agree to personal terms and complete a medical without any issues, West London will welcome one of Europe's brightest attacking talents.
Many expected Salah to end up in the Premier League during this January transfer window.
But at Chelsea? Really?
Jose Mourinho seems to be well stocked with wide players, with the likes of Eden Hazard, Willian and Andre Schurrle plus the likes of Oscar and Ramires can put in a shift on the flanks. Then they have youngster Marco van Ginkel, while wingers Victor Moses and Marko Marin are both out on line.
Six out-and-out wingers, plus two flexible central players who can play out wide, seems far too many to have on the books. However with Kevin de Bruyne signing for Wolfsburg and Juan Mata halfway out the door, I understand why Mourinho is replenishing his attacking unit.
But the big question is: are Chelsea hoarding some of Europe's best young attackers just to stop other PL teams from improving?
Liverpool and Tottenham were incredibly close to signing Willian in the summer window, then Chelsea nipped in at the last minute to make a slightly bigger offer and the Brazilian winger was off to Stamford Bridge. The same is about to happen with Salah.
Since Mourinho returned to the PL, Chelsea have taken transfer trolling to the next level.
Salah, 21, will be a great signing for now and the future as the Egyptian international possesses tricks, flicks and bags of pace, the latter will suit him well in the PL. Plus Chelsea know all about his qualities as the Blues have had a really good look at the youngster in the UEFA Champions League this season. Salah scored home and away against Chelsea in two shock wins for FC Basel.
(MORE: Salah transfer saga hits new, Blue twist as reports say Chelsea lands "Egyptian Messi")
Mourinho has seen the young wide player, who mainly operates on the right, dazzle against his current crop of players and has decided he's worth going that extra mile for.
Liverpool were said to have been extremely close to signing Salah, but Chelsea came in at the last minute and usurped them with a bid of around $24 million. That is much more than Liverpool valued him at and therefore, once again, 'moneybags' Chelsea win the race.
I have nothing against Chelsea stockpiling the best young talent at all, after all it's their money to spend, but will these players really get the chance to shine on the big stage? Mourinho has repeatedly talked about the project he is overseeing at the Bridge and how his 'kids' are learning and developing, if he is true to his word and plays all of the 21,22 and 23-year-old's he has then fair play.
With Salah expected to come on board and other PL teams frustrated as they constantly lose their top targets to Chelsea, Mourinho's aim to keep those team challenging for the top four way out of the picture is working.
But how much longer, especially with the new Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules being ushered in, can Chelsea continue to buy every top player being courted by PL clubs? Right now, it seems like it's never-ending.
Especially if you're clubs aspiring to make the top four (ahem, Liverpool and Tottenham) as Chelsea's monopoly continues.

I was wondering if you can answer what is probably an easy question which has stumbled me. Basically I have created a density distribution of Premier League player's xG Shots on goal. I created my own bins rather than using the automatic Tableau method but that's not the issue. I can graph this no problem for all players and see the results as per fig 1. My problem is that my end game is to then display this against any player's individual shot distribution on the same graph using a dual axis for comparative purposes. I created an L.O.D. calculation to display the avg regardless of any player filters applied, but my output only displays the avg. distribution where there is a corresponding value in the players 'bins', see fig 2. Note how the first point is now missing simply because the player had no shots in that particular range.
Thanks Deepak, but unfortunately it didn't do the job. The LOD Avg Distribution (the line graph) changes when this is applied to match that of the player in question. Also it removes empty bins completely from the axis which is not what I want to do.
I have Tableau Public, so I can't save and attach a wkbk.... if I was to save something on Tableau public would this help?


Desmond ponders Otis Green's final words as the head of Judah Zachary moves him to find even more artifacts under Collinsport. Thanks to Gabriel, who's been managing the angst of Collinwood's jittery residents, he locates a hidden vault in a graveyard. Within? A coffin trapped under a giant cross. From a secret panel, Desmond finds a golden mask, encrusted with gems.
1840 is a storyline beset with ambiguity. It's one of the show's darkest, most occult entries and also the real culmination of the series. Why it should also have so many unwatchable elements is flummoxing, and it think it's due to the long struggle the sequence has to connect us to the characters. 1795 can be seen through Vicki's eyes if need be, but if not, we already know Barnabas and kinda-sorta know Josette. The central mystery -- about how Barnabas became a vampire -- has been talked about and pondered for nearly a year. Everything revolves around that or the agent of that change, Angelique. 1897 strives to take greater autonomy, but the puzzle of Quentin Collins is at least about a Collins. We follow Barnabas as he is introduced to the family on a clear mission to save David, and the initial foray into telling the story apart from him is about one, central point of suspense -- the matter of the will. It also has some of Barnabas' fingerprints involved since he's the Family Secret that may be divulged as part of the inheritance.
1840 is a largely independent story that moves without Barnabas or even Julia, and without those surrogates, it's easy to lose us. Quentin isn't Quentin, and we don't see that much of him in the beginning. Who is Desmond? Who cares? He's got a head and he's ranting at Letitia, who is sort of Pansy, but not Pansy in any way. Finally, we meet Gerard, and he's not even entirely Gerard. He's some guy named Ivan Miller who's loafing at Collinwood… why? To take it over from characters we don't know nor care about. He's a frenemy of strangers, and then when he gets around to real evil, he's not even Gerard. He's possessed by the head. Wait. Okay. He's Ivan Miller claiming to be Gerard Stiles, who is actually the puppet of a disembodied, silent head of a man from Bedford named Judah Zachary. The guy who influenced Angelique back when she was… what? Who is Miranda Duval? Did I miss a staff meeting? Is Nicholas Blair involved with this? Was this in an email attachment? Because I never read those.
Well, when you put it that way, it reminds me of why I like it.
Do you see my dilemma? Fascinating and yet strangely not. Then in an episode like this, you get lots of arguing about Samantha, and I only care about that because the story tells me to. Will anyone here who gives a rat's patoot about Samantha Collins raise their hand? What? Not a single hand. Didn't you people hit the Mitchum after your showered? No one? Yeah, no wonder Virginia Vestoff left Collinwood to marry John Adams.
In 1966, Victoria gets dropped into a story that's been well underway for twenty years or so. Why do we care? Because Vicki is stuck there. Her past is a blank, but she (and we) know that her only real and new home is one in trouble. Whatever affects these people will affect her because it will affect David, and he's her job. Oh, and where else is she going to go? Vicki is firmly planted in the eye of that storm. We are all new to Collinwood, and by stranding her in the midst of it all, we explore those pertinent mysteries together. 1840 has no Vicki Winters, and Barnabas is too tangential to the storytelling. So is Julia. 1840's challenge is not that it's too slow or too fast or too complicated or too simple. It's that it is too distant to why we really care.
Thank goodness that a severed head is involved. The occult aspects remain compelling, and their exoticism is of a grotesquerie and size that we have to learn more -- if only to see what it does. Any episode involving a severed head leading a man to a cemetery's hidden vault containing a casket pinned shut by a giant cross can't be all bad. And that it has a secret compartment containing a jewelled mask? Thank you, Dan. Those are the cherries in the fruit cocktail that we were fishing for. What else kept us afloat? We may not care what James Storm and Chris Pennock are talking about, but I'd watch them read a Denny's menu and find it compelling. As much as anything, the pleasure they take in their acting is a delight, and that kind of dramatic sportsmanship may be the real secret to Dark Shadows after all.

New National Minimum Wage (NWM) rates which come into force today (1 October 2014), are set to benefit over one million of Britain's lowest-paid workers.
The hourly rate will rise to £6.50, the first real terms cash increase since 2008, and follows the recommendations from the independent Low Pay Commission (LPC) in March this year and the call for faster, affordable rate rises by Business Secretary Vince Cable.
The rate increase will mean more than one million people are set to see their pay rise by as much as £355 a year.
"The National Minimum Wage provides a vital safety net for the lowest paid, ensuring they get a fair wage whilst not costing jobs. This year's rise will mean that they will enjoy the biggest cash increase in their take home pay since the banking crisis, benefiting over one million people in total.
"I believe it is vital that the Low Pay Commission's recommendations – not political considerations – should set national minimum wage rates. As signs of a stronger economy start to emerge, we need to do more to make sure that the benefits of growth are shared fairly across the board. The Low Pay Commission will continue to advise government on future wage rises and ensure the minimum wage keeps pace with inflation".
Earlier this year the Business Secretary asked the LPC to extend its expertise to help government and business understand how they can deal with the issue of low wages in the economy. In particular, he asked it to look at what economic conditions would be needed to allow the National Minimum Wage to rise in the future by more than current conditions allow, and restore its real value.
The LPC's assessment that 2014 will mark the start of a new phase of bigger increases, provided economic conditions continue to improve, has been welcomed by the business secretary. It is the first time the government has been provided with a broader evaluation of the issues that affect low pay.
"Increasing the National Minimum Wage to £6.50 per hour is recognition that the UK's many employees are caught in a working poverty trap. The proportion of people on low pay climbed as a result of the 2008 crash and, with the cost of living continuing to rise, the chances are that more people on low wages will find themselves unable to pay the bills, despite holding down a regular job.
"The fact remains that more than 5.2 million people are earning less than they need to live on. Too many families still struggle to afford the basics, meaning we face a scenario that, in 2014, should have long been consigned to the footnotes of history.
Paying any less than the minimum wage is illegal. If employers break the law the government will take tough action, including enforcing steep financial penalties and publicly naming flouters.

Methane emissions from natural gas production are significantly decreasing even as natural gas production, including fracking, is rapidly increasing.
A new study conducted by researchers at the University of Texas in coordination with the Environmental Defense Fund ("EDF") found that methane emissions from the upstream portion of the supply chain are approximately 10 percent lower than the same research teams found in its study released in September 2013. Moreover, this new study showed that the majority of emissions came from a small number of sites, which suggests that methane leakage is a fixable problem because much of the industry appears to be successfully managing methane leakage.
This study, published earlier today in two parts in the Environmental Science & Technology Journal, finds that methane emissions from the upstream portion of the supply chain comprise only 0.38 percent of production. This rate also parallels the Environmental Protection Agency's ("EPA") estimates for methane emissions. The EPA observed earlier this year that methane emissions from fracking have decreased by 73 percent since 2011. Methane emissions from U.S. natural gas systems have declined by nearly 17 percent since 1990. The EPA's data, which is generally validated by today's study, suggest a leakage rate of only about 1.5 percent.
The following chart, which accompanied the study, shows total methane emissions of 2,185 gigagrams ("Gg"), or approximately 0.38 percent of total natural gas withdrawals and production in 2012, according to data from the United States Energy Information Administration.
Last week, Energy In Depth released a report finding decreases in methane emissions in many large shale basins across the country, including in the Marcellus and Utica shale regions in Ohio and Pennsylvania.
All of these recent findings rebut the claims of groups that oppose fracking on the basis of methane leakage.
"Examples of Chemical Regulations Applicable to U.S. Companies"


Patrick is currently working for a late-stage venture capital fund in Menlo Park after graduating earlier this year from the JD/MBA program at Wharton, where he was a member of the Adam Smith Society for two years. He was born and raised in Los Angeles, CA to parents who immigrated from Egypt. Patrick attended an all-boys Catholic high school before enrolling in the Huntsman Program at the University of Pennsylvania to indulge his dual interests in global business and public policy. He continued to indulge these often converging interests as a consultant for McKinsey & Co. based in their Dubai office, working on public sector and banking engagements across the Middle East. After spending his third-year at McKinsey in a secondment for an education reform organization in the U.S., Patrick returned to Penn for my JD/MBA without a real plan for what to do next (though he's quite happy with where he ended up). Patrick looks forward to staying connected to the Adam Smith Society and attending professional chapter events in the San Francisco area.
You mentioned that you find the discourse cultivated by the Adam Smith Society refreshing. What do you think are some sources of, or reasons for, the current political polarization in the U.S.?
One of the main reasons for the current political polarization in the U.S. is that the threshold for becoming a news source has diminished so greatly that all you need at this point is a rudimentary website or social media handle. These sites obviously have no editorial integrity. But the competition for clicks drives conventional or mainstream news sources to sacrifice objectivity and accuracy to sensationalize stories to drive traffic. People are living in an information echo chamber where they are almost never exposed to news that hasn't first passed through their ideological filter—or when they do, they dismiss it outright. The anonymity afforded by the Internet enables people to express more radical views without fear of any social stigma, so those views get normalized. Most important, the rise of identity politics and populism has made politics increasingly tribal. I don't think that your political affiliation should be a core part of your identity.
What type of problems did you try to solve when working on public-sector and banking issues in Dubai? How has your international professional experience influenced your views on business and public policy?
One of the more interesting problems I worked on in the Middle East was solving the underemployment problem in the Gulf, where locals in some countries are disincentivized to work, thanks to generous welfare programs; and those who do want to work are often under-skilled, compared with cheaper, expatriate workers. Interestingly, this problem is increasingly applicable to the U.S. as well. My international work experience helped me appreciate aspects of life in the U.S. that I had previously taken for granted and that I hope our political system will continue to preserve (personal and economic freedom, open-mindedness, world-class universities, meritocracy, professional competence). Of course, I also have a better understanding of areas where other countries consistently outperform the U.S. (infrastructure is one).
What has been your favorite Smith Soc experience or moment so far?
My favorite Smith Soc experience was the Entrepreneurship, Culture, and Politics trek in Laguna Beach this past February. It was a privilege to discuss relevant political and cultural topics with a group of such interesting, intellectually curious people from a variety of backgrounds. Obviously, it didn't hurt that we were on one of the nicest beaches in California and had great food and drinks.

It's been more than fifteen years that I am staying with my family in the three bedrooms & hall apartment; I've viewed the things change over the years, your interior of the house has changed. However , there are certain things that we for no reason want to change, and our dining table set is one of these. Our mind consistently will keep reminding us that the set in place needs to be changed, but the cardiovascular system doesn't let us do that; probably there's some deep connection that we feel with the stand, and mom says feelings shouldn't be changed, one should be allowed to hold on to them forever. However the question is, "Is there whatever we can do to improve the standard of the memories spent on the dining table set?" As well as the answer is Yes! Dilemma prevailed in the house considering the changing requirements as well as the constrained space in the apartment; therefore , finishing the ultimate dining table set was an incredibly strenuous task. In the beginning convincing mom was problematic because she likes keeping things for a long time, or because she believes he has special memories of it with dad. Whatever be the reason, the thing is that we must add anything creative to our traditional table set and make that into a more modern one; therefore choosing an 'Extendable Dining Table Set' became a necessity. An extendable dining table set is the only thing my family could think about when they were deciding to add a new and increased piece of furniture for the living area. The table looks terrific and charming, the chair look comfortable, but the best benefit is the extended and flip plank, something entirely contemporary and innovative. The fact that your plank can be folded out and in as per the expectations makes the desk the perfect piece of furniture when you will discover guests at home.

Christmas can sometimes bring out the worst in people.
Take for instance the Townsville man who risked electrocution by disconnecting the street light outside his home to make his Christmas display brighter.
Ergon Energy spokesman Mark Timmerman told ABC radio maintenance crews were stunned by the man's stupidity.
"Of his own volition he's gone and disconnected the street light in front of his home in an attempt to make his Christmas lights display stand out a little better in the dark," Mr Timmerman said.
Crews said they could not work out how exactly the man managed to achieve the dangerous and illegal feat.
Mr Timmerman said crews had also found other examples of people tampering with street lights in the Townsville area.
As for those who are considering switching off their streets display to add a little extra twinkle to their own, Mr Timmerman had this advice: "Don't do it. It's stupid and dangerous".

"We Celebrate Japan Earthquake" This was photographed at Asian Football Confederation game. A Korea team vs a Japan team. Keep it classy folks. This isn't ok. Apologies have been made by the team. But… C'mon!
It's just more Japan bashing. That's about it.


Worried about frying another car, we took a different approach this time and added our own voltage regulator and smoothing caps, taking power directly from the diodes that rectify the AC being picked up from the track. We only had a big 7805 regulator to work with, but actually it looks pretty cool stuck to the hood with a couple of caps. Very 1970's hot rod.
More importantly it worked.. that is until one time the car rolled and the POV circuit on the roof seems to have got a zap directly from the 12VAC on the track and the PIC died, leaving all 10 LEDs jammed on. Insulation is obviously something to consider for the next time!

They employ a contemporary approach that is both destabilising and cathartic. Their work looks to the future, questioning any kind of classification or prejudice, transcending aesthetic, sexual and intellectual categories.
A show centered on Shakespeare's female figures and the relationship between women and power: power that is exercised and coveted as well as the power of fighting. The project particularly focuses on gender discrimination, and the abuses and abuses of power.
An interdisciplinary event, oriented to experimentation and new ideas, the festival will welcome Swiss performers and companies like Cie Ioannis Mandafounis, Opera retablO and Camilla Parini as well as «Tanzfaktor» on tour with, among others, productions by Marc Oostehoff and Alessandra Schiattarella.
A project about humanity's need to embody, ritualise and exorcise key moments through transition rituals, with ceremonies, masks and disguises. But does modern man still need these rituals?
This project is a collaboration between Opera RetablO and Cie Mlahda. It looks into why people need rituals, costumes and masks. The focus is on the individual and collective experience of rituals of transition.
Three different Swiss festivals are dedicated to the performing arts in public spaces this summer: Festival Belluard in Fribourg, Territori in Bellinzona and La Plage des Six Pompes in La-Chaux-de-Fonds.

Dekolonizace je pojem, který označuje společensko-politické procesy osamostatnění koloniálních držav od metropole (mateřské země). Pojem dekolonizace se začal užívat během 50. let 20. století, a to i přes to, že procesy emancipace mají daleko starší historii. Dekolonizace v podstatě začala již v 18. (USA), pokračovala v první polovině 19. (jižní a stř. Amerika) a nabrala na obrátkách ve 20. století především jako důsledek druhé světové války. Dekolonizace nezahrnuje pouze proces vlastního osamostatnění, respektive vyhlášení samostatnosti, ale také procesy budování samostatného státu v postkoloniálním prostředí a procesy hospodářské rekonstrukce nebo reorientace bývalé kolonie. Přírodní vědy nesou stále známky kolonizace. V poslední době se také v rámci neevropských společenských věd hovoří o jejich dekolonizaci.

První vlna dekolonizace v Severní a Latinské Americe

K první emancipaci od koloniální nadvlády došlo v Severní Americe na území 13 kolonií ležících většinou na východním pobřeží dnešních USA. Tyto kolonie byly většinou osídleny obyvatelstvem z Evropy, které vytlačilo původní indiánské obyvatele. Příčiny konfliktu s metropolí spočívaly bezprostředně především v ekonomických politikách Londýna, které regulovaly hospodářský rozvoj (například dovoz-vývoz, cla nebo daně) v koloniích podle potřeb centra. Kromě toho díky relativně velké samosprávě, kterou kolonie měly, se v nich rozvinul vlastní politický (veřejný) život a identita. Svou významnou roli mělo osvícenství a jeho politické myšlení (především liberalismus a fyziokratismus). Americká revoluce získala podporu Francie, která měla zájem o oslabení britské koloniální moci v Americe i mimo ni (jednalo se o Indii, kde Francie po sedmileté válce ztrácela vliv). V revoluční válce mezi léty 1775-1783 byli zainteresováni vedle Francie také Španělsko a Nizozemí.

Latinskoamerické osvobození bylo inspirováno severoamerickým příkladem, francouzskou revolucí a osvícenským politickým myšlením. Na rozdíl od Británie byla španělská i portugalská koloniální správa velmi centralizovaná. Veškerá závažná rozhodnutí byla vždy činěna v Madridu či Lisabonu, což samozřejmě mělo za následek neefektivní řízení a pomalá rozhodnutí. Hlavním představitelem správy v koloniích v Latinské Americe byl vicekrál, kterým byl téměř výlučně Španěl (peninsularo) z Iberského poloostrova. Znamenalo to, že nově příchozí byl často velmi špatně informován o situaci v místokrálovství.

Tato politika otevřeně diskriminovala místní kreolské elity, které měly stále relativně malý vliv na správu kolonii. Přes pokusy o reformu koloniální správy v době osvícenských reforem Karla III. zůstával problém centralizované a rigidní správy jedním z příčin pro vznik opozice vůči Španělsku. Další, neméně významná příčina spočívala v hospodářské slabosti iberského centra. Během 17. a 18. století byl koloniální obchod kontrolován Velkou Británii a samotné Španělsko se stalo závislým na Londýnu.

Vlastní proces osamostatnění probíhal v Latinské Americe zhruba mezi léty 1791-1830. Jako jedna z prvních kolonií vyhlásilo nezávislost Haiti (1804) a mezi posledními získala nezávislost Uruguay (1828) a středoamerické státy. Vznik nezávislých amerických států v rámci hispanoamerických válek za nezávislost byl dlouhodobým procesem a v první fázi byl ovlivněn integračními snahami Simona Bolívara (Gran Colombia). Dalším rysem bylo v některých případech oscilování mezi republikou a monarchii, se kterým je možné se setkat celkem dvakrát v případě Mexického císařství (1821-1823 a 1864-1867) a u Brazilského císařství (1822-1889). Jiným důležitým latinskoamerickým trendem bylo zachování celé řady diskriminačních politik vůči míšeneckému a domorodému obyvatelstvu a vytvoření politických oligarchií, které se rekrutovaly z řad kreolů a vládly zemím často až do poloviny 20. století.

Vliv světových válek na dekolonizaci
Po skončení první světové války došlo k některým změnám, které je možné přičítat porážce Německa. Německo začalo mít koloniální ambice až po svém sjednocení tzn. po roce 1871. Během 80. a 90. let 19. století získalo některá území především ve střední Africe (konkrétně: Německá východní Afrika nebo Německá jihozápadní Afrika) a v Oceánii (Německá Nová Guinea). V podstatě se jednalo o relativně malá území, která nebyla ještě pod kontrolou dvou největších koloniálních velmocí Velké Británie a Francie. Německé ambice v koloniální oblasti je možné vidět jako jednu z příčin první světové války, která se sice dominantně odehrávala v Evropě, ale měla svůj průběh také v koloniích.

Tyto změny ale neznamenaly dekolonizaci ale pouhý přesun koloniální kontroly z Německa na například Belgii, Portugalsko a Británii. Dekolonizace Afriky a Asie byla v meziválečném období spíše v zárodcích vzhledem k tomu, že se vliv dvou největších koloniálních velmocí po první světové válce zvětšil. V některých případech ale došlo na základě místních požadavků k některým reformám, které lze vidět jako ústupky ze strany metropole.

Jako příklad je možné uvést Akt o vládě v Indii z roku 1935, který mezi jiným zaručoval místním provinciím větší autonomii, rozšíření volebního práva nebo zvýšení počtu indických zástupců v některých místních orgánech. Ačkoliv se jednalo o závažné změny ve správě Indie, neznamenaly v žádném případě dekolonizaci ve smyslu osamostatnění. V případě Maroka nebo Alžírska došlo v meziválečném období k zřetelným projevům odporu vůči Španělsku a Francii (druhá marocká válka). V Alžírsku se zformovalo nacionalistické hnutí (ENA). Obecně lze charakterizoval období mezi dvěma válkami jako dobu největšího rozmachu evropského kolonialismu.

Druhá světová válka znamenala počátek krize kolonialismu vedoucí k postupné dekolonizaci v Africe a Asii. Na prvním místě je třeba uvést, že dopady války byly pro Francii i Velkou Británii - a pro Evropu vůbec - devastující. To samozřejmě znamenalo, že jejich schopnosti účinně kontrolovat kolonie během války citelně poklesly. Poválečná devastace se samozřejmě týkala také ekonomiky. Kolonie byly ve většině případů zcela závislé na poptávce z Evropy, která během války a po ní značně poklesla. V mnohých případech byly kolonie a jejich obyvatelé zataženi do války, bojovali po boku svých evropských koloniálních pánů, ale po válce se jim často nedostalo ocenění v podobě větší autonomie a práv (to se týkalo nejzřetelněji francouzských kolonií).

Konečně hrály svojí roli také místní elity, které často získaly evropské vzdělání a začaly už v meziválečném období definovat nacionalistické požadavky na samostatnost. Oslabení metropole potom vedlo k jasnému artikulování jejich požadavků. Porážka ve druhé světové válce znamenala pro Japonsko okamžitý konec jeho koloniálního panství hned v roce 1945. Korea byla v této době okupována na severu Sovětským svazem a na jihu Spojenými státy. Hned v roce 1945 vyhlásil samostatnost Vietnam (vůči Francii) a Indonésie (vůči Nizozemí), nicméně jejich samostatnost byla uznána až později.

Dekolonizace v letech 1945-1975

Dekolonizační proces probíhal po roce 1945 především v Africe a v Asii, tedy v těžišti koloniální moci dvou největších koloniálních velmocí tohoto období - Velké Británie a Francie. Dekolonizace se ale dotkla také menších koloniálních zemí jako byla Belgie, Portugalsko, Nizozemí a nebo Spojené státy.

Z obecného hlediska byla dekolonizace hluboce ovlivněna vznikem Studené války a bipolarismu. Dekolonizované a nově samostatné země se tak hned na počátku své existence ocitly uprostřed velmocenského zápasu mezi Západem vedeným USA a Východem pod vedením SSSR. Toto v podstatě ideologické soupeření v mnoha ohledem negativně ovlivnilo politický i ekonomický vývoj v dekolonizovaných zemích (například Korea a její rozdělení, Kongo nebo Angola) a právě zde mělo nejčastěji vojenský charakter. Koncepce tzv. Třetího světa, která se původně snažila být alternativou mezi dvěma bloky poválečného rozdělení světa neměla úspěch, a to i přes pokusy spojené s hnutím nezúčastněných.

Vzhledem k tomu, že dekolonizace byla dlouhodobý historický proces, není jednoduché jej jednoznačně charakterizovat. Dekolonizace měla projevy jak násilného procesu osamostatnění (ve smyslu anti-koloniální války nebo revoluce) ale mohlo se jednat také o řešení diplomatickou cestou či kompromisem.

Jako příklad kompromisního nebo více méně mírového řešení je často uváděna dekolonizace britských držav po roce 1945 a založení britského Commonwealthu už v roce 1931. Během dekolonizace se jeho součástí stala většina bývalých britských kolonií. Dnes je Commonwealth mezivládní organizací, která sdružuje nezávislé státy a má společnou agendu. V podstatě se stal Commonwealth následníkem Britského impéria a často napomáhá zachovat vliv Británie v dekolonizovaných zemích i po dosažení nezávislosti.

Zvláštní forma dekolonizace probíhala v případě dvou přistěhovaleckých kolonií: Kanady a Austrálie. Tyto země byly až do 80. let 20. století dominii Velké Británie a dodnes jsou členy jiné britské organizace Commonwealth Realm. Jestliže se v případě Velké Británie hovoří o dekolonizaci spíše mírovou nebo diplomatickou cestou, neznamená to, že by vlastní budování samostatných států bylo v případě britských kolonií jednodušší nebo mírovější než jinde. Naopak řada bývalých britských kolonií prošla po získání formální nezávislosti roky krvavých vnitropolitických bojů.

Protikladem britského řešení byla Francie, která se se ztrátou svých rozsáhlých kolonií v Africe a Asii nechtěla smířit. V jejím případě došlo k několika válkám, které pro Francii neskončily úspěchem a značně poškodily její postavení ve vztahu k bývalým koloniím. Na prvním místě lze uvést příklad tzv. francouzské Indočíny (Vietnam, Laos, Kambodža), kde měla dekolonizace násilný charakter a vedla k neméně násilnému samostatnému vývoji. Zatímco Tunis a Maroko získaly nezávislost v roce 1956 relativně nenásilnou cestou, v případě Alžírska došlo k další válce (1954-1962).

Nicméně případ Alžírska se značně liší od jiných, a to především proto, že zde žila velice početná skupina francouzských přistěhovalců. Průběh i následky Alžírské války způsobily v obou společnostech dlouhotrvající trauma.
Zhruba mezi roky 1945 - 1965 byla osamostatněna a uznána většina britských a francouzských kolonií v Asii i Africe, stejně jako kolonii držených Belgií nebo Nizozemím a Spojenými státy.

Mezi poslední dekolonizované země patřily portugalské kolonie v Africe Angola a Mosambik. Tyto země se mohly oficiálně osamostatnit až v roce 1975 po pádu diktátora A. Salazara v Portugalsku. Oficiálnímu osamostatnění ale předcházely roky krvavé koloniální války. V souvislosti s dekolonizací lze ještě zmínit navrácení Macaa a Hongkongu Číně v roce 1999.

Eyedress races King Krule in the retro-inspired "Jealous" remix video
The trippy video sees the pair go on a skateboarding adventure through a bizarre video game universe.
Eyedress dropped a new remix of his popular song "Jealous," touched up by frequent collaborator King Krule. Titled "Jealous (King Krule Nothing Special Remix)," the track is accompanied by a trippy video directed by Eyedress.
Earlier this week, Eyedress—aka Idris Vicuña— teased the track on his social media. The artist took to Twitter to express his excitement Wednesday, also revealing a brief glimpse of the video's retro visuals. Now, the video is here, available via YouTube.

Vicuña and King Krule, the stage name of Archy Marshall, have collaborated a number of times before. Krule was featured on Eyedress' 2015 song "Return Of The Wicca Mane" (under the name Edgar The Breathtaker). Vicuña returned the favor, guesting on "The Cadet Leaps" for Krule's 2017 album The OOZ.
In their latest collab, King Krule revamps Eyedress's popular song "Jealous," which dropped as a single in 2019. The new remix swaps out the skate punk vibes, opting for a dreamier, ambient sound. The feel of the new track is darker, bringing out the pain and hostility implied by the song's lyrics.
The song is accompanied by a wild retro video, directed by Vicuña and animated by Josh Parsons. Parsons has provided visuals for a number of other music videos including Miles French's "Corn Rows" and Jackson Lundy's "Calypso." The animator also previously collaborated with Vicuña, working on "Can I See You Tonight?" and "Skateboarding Day."

The animation for the "Jealous" remix is surreal, supplying a retro video game vibe. In the video, Vicuña and Krule set off on a '90s Nintendo-style skateboard race through a bizarre Minecraft universe.

More on Eyedress
Eyedress first made a name for himself as a producer, self-releasing music online. The artist released a string of tracks and mixtapes, including the 2014 mixtape Hearing Colors.
Vicuña made his full-length debut in 2015 with Shapeshifter featuring songs such as "Trust The Process." Featuring rhxanders and Vicuña's partner Jasmine, who also records as Elvia, the track showcases Eyedress' early lo-fi hip-hop aesthetic.
The artist shifted directions for a number of his follow-up records, particularly the 2017 album Manila Ice and the 2018 release Sensitive G. These records showcased Vicuña's savvy as a rock artist, inflecting his sound with a dreamy, retro vibe. They also marked his first collaborations with Lex Records.

The "Jealous" remix sees Eyedress return after a productive 2020. Last year, the artist put out his fourth full-length record Let's Skip To The Wedding through Lex Records. He also released the EP Don't Dial 911, a collaboration with N8NOFACE put out through Vicuña's own label/brand Paranoia.
Vicuña has also been involved with a number of other projects. The artist plays in a band called the Simps, releasing an original track "On Fye" in December. He also put out a collab "Cotton Candy Skies" with Elvia earlier this year. The couple also dropped a hazy video featuring the pair and their daughter, adorably clad in a Misfits T-shirt.
Eyedress was featured in Alternative Press' 2021 issue of 100 Artists You Need To Know. In an exclusive interview with Alternative Press, Vicuña explained why his approach to music is so broad.

"I'm an all-around artist," Vicuña notes. "I don't necessarily make one genre of music, but I guess most of my popular songs are on the indie-rock, post-punk side of things. But I also do SoundCloud rap stuff and produce hip-hop music for my friends. I'm not just a singer-songwriter. Sometimes I know when to step back and just make the music. I'm like a DIY artist. Most of my videos, if I'm not directing, I'm really involved. I also add my two cents into everything, even with merch and clothes I design."
During the interview, Vicuña also explained the retro sensibilities that shape his visual aesthetic.
"Most of the time my approach is lo-fi, so I have a lot of VHS videos," Vicuña says. "There's something about nostalgia that really draws my aesthetic. I'm really into old films even, and I feel like movies directed by Stanley Kubrick would resonate with the kinds of sounds I'm trying to make. Take The Shining, a really beautiful horror film, but it was shot in a really surreal, beautiful hotel up on the mountains. I try to make my music dreamy and surreal."

Vicuña's collaborator King Krule is also no stranger to animation. Last year, the artist dropped a psychedelic video for his track "Cellular." He also put out a horror-tinged video for "Comet Face," showcasing the lo-fi aesthetic that makes him a perfect collaborator for Eyedress. Both tracks are from the 2020 album Man Alive!, available via True Panther Sounds/Matador Records.

Matt on The Box: This Week's TV Highlights: What Remains, Vera, New Tricks and A Touch of Cloth 2
Welcome back to this much more punctual look at the week's TV, in what can only be described as a crime special.
First up we have What Remains, a programme centring around the look for the killer of a young woman found murdered in the attic of the share house in which she lives. But What Remains isn't your average whodunnit as the body in question has been up in the loft for two years without anybody realising it was there. The opening scenes show us how Melissa (Jessica Gunning) spent the last moments of her life before she was struck over the back of the head. Meanwhile, in the present, Vidya (Amber Rose Revah) and Michael (Russell Tovey) are moving into number eight Coulthard Street, an old building that has been separated into flats. It is Michael who finds the body and soon Detective Len Harper (David Threlfall) shows up to investigate the murder. Len, who is soon to retire, is perplexed by the fact that nobody noticed that Melissa had died, with most of the house's residents believing that she had simply moved on. It seems as if Len is worried that the same thing may happen to him and he becomes obsessed with tracking down the killer. With the exception of Vidya, the other residents of the house seem reluctant to help Len as they are all dealing with their own dramas. Elaine (Indira Varma) spends most of the episode worrying about what has happened to her partner Peggy who has seemingly vanished. Kieron (Steven Mackintosh) is reluctant to write a piece about Melissa's death as he feels that the discovery of a body in the house will decrease his chances of selling the flat when he moves on. Then there's maths teacher Joe (David Bamber) who is concealing a woman in his flat that only his former pupil Michael recognises. As the case his handed back to uniform, Len is told to drop the investigation as he no longer works for the police. But it seems that he's determined to find the truth and, judging by the final scene, someone is as determined to stop him.
Going solely on the plot description, What Remains could easily come across as an Agatha Christie style murder mystery. Thankfully writer Tony Basgallop prevents this from happening by making What Remains feel almost like a haunted house drama than a whodunnit. Director Coky Giedroyc makes the house seem incredibly creepy with its dusty staircases and dark corridors. The fact that the body has been undiscovered for two years also makes What Remains a thought-provoking piece. I surely can't have been the only one who was trying to work out how long it would take someone to find my body if the same thing happened to me. Another element which makes What Remains so great is the character of Len, who doesn't come across like your average crusading cop. Indeed Basgallop stops Len descending into cliché, as the 'cop on his final day on the force' is a character we've seen on the screen numerous times before. I feel that Len's need to solve the case comes from the fact that he doesn't want to end up like Melissa as someone whose body would go undiscovered for months if he were to keel over. Threlfall's performance is utterly compelling and his performance makes you forget about the actor's most famous character, Shameless' Frank Gallagher, almost instantly. The supporting characters are equally as intriguing while the actors playing them do their best to make them seem as convincing as possible. I found David Bamber to be great as Joe, who was painted as the villain of the piece. Joe sees himself as the person in charge of the house, he keeps all of the spare keys, but at the same time he is hiding a secret that he doesn't want to get out. Steven Mackintosh was on form as he once again played the everyman who isn't as perfect as he first seems. In fact there doesn't seem to be a weak link among the cast with even Jessica Gunning excelling in her few scenes as the doomed Melissa. Overall, What Remains was one of the best opening episodes of a drama that I've seen since Broadchurch. I'm utterly invested in the majority of the characters and found the plot to be utterly believable. Basgallop's script and Giedroyc's direction are a winning combination and my only hope is that What Remains keeps the momentum that it built up in this opening instalment.
While What Remains was trying its best not to come across as a traditional murder mystery drama, Vera stayed very much the same. The show centres around DCI Vera Stanhope (Brenda Blethyn), the Northumberland detective who is always able to crack a case in under ninety minutes. This time Vera and her assistant DS Joe Ashworth (David Leon) were tasked with solving the murder of a young girl who had been shot during a night in a secluded cottage. Lizzie (Eva Quinn) broke the cardinal rule of the crime drama when she wandered out into the misty woods after hearing a gunshot. The police's initial suspect is poacher Robert Doran (Richard Riddell), with whom Joe has a storied past, but it soon seems that Lizzie may have not been the intended target of the murder. Soon the intended victim, Corinne Franks (Vinette Robinson), is mowed down by a car and the hunt for her killer is on. To me Vera is the very antithesis of What Remains and revels in its clichés rather than attempting to avoid them. This episode was full of more red herrings than a supermarket fish counter and had the customary second murder about halfway through proceedings, which apparently was meant to keep the audience interested. Unfortunately this tactic didn't work on me and I have to admit that I struggled to even stay awake while watching Vera. Once I'd solved the murder, about thirty minutes before Joe and Vera managed to, I had to wait for the inevitable to happen. In fact I was much more intrigued with the subplot involving Joe's past than I was by the central mystery. In its favour I think Vera is incredibly well-shot, to the point that it comes across as a video made by the British tourist board, and Blethyn tries her best not to make her character come across as a stereotype. Ultimately though, Vera is a generic Sunday night cop drama that really shouldn't still be around in 2013. However it seems that I may well be in the minority, as Vera garnered more viewers on Sunday night than What Remains, I suppose there's no accounting for taste.
Though New Tricks may come across as generic at times, it is still a lot more fun than Vera will ever be. This week saw the introduction of Dan Griffin (Nicholas Lyndhurst) who has been brought into UCOS to replace the departing Brian Lane. Though Dan does share some of Brian's social awkwardness, he brings an air of youth to him that has been sorely lacking in the team. Dan does little to ingratiate himself with his new colleagues, especially Gerry (Dennis Waterman) who believes the youthful Dan has been planted as a mole in the team. Meanwhile Sandra (Amanda Redman) isn't happy that Dan's contract stipulated that he works a nine till five day, as it prevents him from being a useful member of the team. However, there's a reason for Dan's tight schedule as it appears as if he's a single parent to handicapped daughter Holly (Storme Toolis). It's Holly who is able to help her dad track down ageing jazz singer Angela Gold (Tracie Bennett) who was the original prime suspect in the death of porn baron 'Gentleman' Jim Hockney. The case has been re-opened when Sara (Nathalie Buscombe) discovers Jim's not her real dad and feels that her porn star mother Jane Harlow (Ingrid Lacey) has been lying all these years. I was able to solve the murder about ten minutes before UCOS but, unlike with Vera, it didn't really seem to matter all that much. Indeed the best thing about New Tricks, at least for me, is the chemistry between the team members and it appears as if Dan may have issues working within the group. His colleagues certainly didn't warm to him initially but it seems as if he may have finally won them over and I'm sure next week they'll all be friends. While he couldn't possibly match the greatness of Alun Armstrong, I found that Lyndhurst still gave a good showing of himself as oddball Dan. The inclusion of a disabled daughter did seem a little bit like a cliché but I found that New Tricks didn't make Holly too much of an 'issue-based' character. There was also an insinuation that Dan joined UCOS for a particular reason that I'm sure will reveal itself over the next few weeks. However the character's sarcastic charm won me over and I found that Lyndhurst was miles better than the incredibly annoying Waterman.
As I watched all of the above crime shows I was spotting as many of the clichés as I possibly could then seeing how many of them popped up in A Touch of Cloth 2. Yes, Charlie Brooker's spoof cop drama is back for a second run as Jack Cloth (John Hannah) was convinced to rejoin the force and go undercover. Since the last series Cloth had left the police after his wife's murderer Tom Boss (Julian Rhind-Tutt) was allowed to return as he'd 'been on a course.' Jack's impetus for returning was a bank job in which Todd Carty and an owl were killed off. After discovering that Macratty (Stephen Dillane) was behind the bank job, Jack goes undercover to try and apprehend the known mob boss. But when he finds up there's someone controlling Macratty he decides to stick around, something that Anne Oldman (Suranne Jones) isn't happy about as she thinks Jack has forgotten what side he's on. Elsewhere Anne is being wined and dined by potential mayor Hope Goodgirl (Anna Chancellor) who wants her to become the police commissioner as she is ready to oust Tom Boss. I have to say that I felt this sequel to A Touch of Cloth lacked the pace and storytelling of its predecessor. While I laughed continuously at the endless sight gags, I found that some of the elements of the story dragged. Indeed, I feel a good spoof needs to have as good a story as a normal crime drama would have and I felt A Touch of Cloth lacked that this time around. There was even a gag about how the writers didn't know where the story was going next but I personally found that to be a bit of a cop out, pardon the pun. To its credit, A Touch of Cloth has a group of actors who are willing to send themselves up as they act their lines with a straight face. While there was still plenty to like about this second round of A Touch of Cloth, I was left feeling a little underwhelmed. However, any show that features both Grange Hill's Mrs McLusky and The Bill's Tony Stamp has to be applauded to some extent.

Well today, i went up after eating breakfast like i normally do, i took my seat and Uke Noobie comes up holding an Ukulele case, and it was a tenor size case, so i thought he wanted me to play his brand new Black Pearl Tenor ukulele w/pickup, that he just bought two days ago. So i was like ok, so i put my ukulele down, and all of a sudden when i looked up he opened up the case and it was a brand new ukulele. He bought me a Lanikai Tenor w/ pickup. Oh man, i almost about teared up. Thanks a lot to a great friend, a brother, a best friend! thanks again! you guys should of seen the look on my face, i tell you it was worth a thousand words!!! I know you aren't supposed to have people buy you ukulele's because you have to feel the uke to know it's the one you want. But it was the one i wanted, when we picked his up the other day i was playing the one he bought me and i was like oh i want this to hold me over till i get a Kanile'a or a Kamaka.

Labor leader, Organizer : 1830 - 1930
Goodbye, boys; I'm under arrest. I may have to go to jail. I may not see you for a long time. Keep up the fight! Don't surrender! Pay no attention to the injunction machine at Parkersburg. The Federal judge is a scab anyhow. While you starve he plays golf. While you serve humanity, he serves injunctions for the money powers.

Mary Harris began life near Cork, Ireland, grew up in Ontario, and then came to the United States, where she worked as a dressmaker and a schoolteacher. In 1867, her husband George Jones and their four children all died in a yellow fever epidemic in Memphis, so she moved back to Chicago where, four years later, she lost everything in the Great Chicago Fire.
Following these two disasters, Jones spent the second half of her life involved in the labor movement. From the 1890s though the 1920s she worked tirelessly as a political "hell-raiser," advancing social and political causes such as the abolition of child labor and organizing the United Mine Workers. In 1905 she helped found the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW).
Coal miners and their families called her "the miner's angel" and, after she began referring to the miners as "her boys," she took on the nickname "Mother" Jones. A charismatic speaker, she was adept at staging public events to get publicity for striking workers, and her physical courage was legendary. Opponents called her "the most dangerous woman in America," but when she was denounced on the floor of the U.S. Senate as "the grandmother of all agitators," she said she hoped to live long enough to be the great-grandmother of all agitators.
Mother Jones, honored today by the political magazine that bears her name, lived in a time when women were not allowed to vote. "You don't need a vote to raise hell," she said about that. "You need convictions and a voice." She perhaps is best known for her saying, "Pray for the dead, and fight like hell for the living."

The Children's PVC Bee umbrella also has a friendly swarm of bright yellow and black bees busily buzzing around the dome. Doing a bit of pollinating and saying hello!
Looking for children's PVC clear see through dome umbrellas? How about a bee umbrella for your little buzzing bee? This children's clear dome children's PVC bee umbrella has a bumble bee see-through canopy. This bee umbrella is one of a range of kids clear dome umbrellas designed especially for children.
All the thrills of bee ownership with minimal risk of getting stung or producing any honey. Cheery enough to raise a smile on the wettest of days.
As well as this, the matching yellow hem, top, spoke tips and handle complete the design. Construction also includes an exclusive runner for easy opening and closing, making operation safe for little people.
For additional safety, the top and spoke tips are also rounded to reduce the potential for injury caused by young, inexperienced and (sadly) often untrained brolly operators! Canopy width is 68 cm / 27″ / and umbrella length is 66 cm / 26″.
