Eric Pickles waters down plans on 8m extensions
20th April 2013 | News | Claire
Government plans to ease planning rules in England for three years have been amended to give neighbours the right to be consulted on building work.
It comes after 26 coalition MPs – 16 Conservatives and 10 Lib Dems – voted against the government on Tuesday.
Communities Secretary Eric Pickles has written to MPs setting out a "light-touch neighbours' consultation scheme".
He said he wished to tackle "head on" concerns about the effects the plans would have on "neighbours' amenity".
The amendment will be debated in the House of Lords when the Growth and Infrastructure Bill returns there on Monday.
The Conservative MP Zac Goldsmith – a leading critic of the government's proposed changes – welcomed the watering down of the plans, calling it a "sensible approach".
Boost trade
Ministers announced last year that they wanted a three-year relaxation of the planning rules to allow single-storey extensions of up to eight metres for detached houses and six metres for other houses to be built without planning consent being required.
They argue that this will bring economic benefits and boost the building trade.
The proposal, which is still under consultation, has angered some local authorities and is also opposed by Labour.
MPs are concerned the plans may result in permanent unsightly developments, over which local communities will have no say.
Under the revised scheme, as set out by Mr Pickles, homeowners wishing to build extensions under the new powers would notify their council with the details and the local authority would then inform the adjoining neighbours.
If the neighbours do not object the development can proceed, but if they do raise concerns the council will have to consider whether it had an "unacceptable impact on neighbours' amenity".
Mr Pickles said this would allow ward councillors to be involved.
The application could also be considered by a planning committee – as is the case in the current planning process – if the council deemed it appropriate, he added.
He said the approach would build consensus, ensure uncontroversial projects were fast-tracked and save householders money.
He told MPs: "I hope this shows that we have listened constructively and made a targeted and common sense improvement."
Mike Jones, chairman of the Local Government Association's Environment and Housing Board, said they were pleased the government was "listening".
"However, there are serious questions to be answered as to how this new separate scheme will work in practice," he said.
"Government needs to clarify how this new scheme, which will require planning department to dedicate a significant amount of time and resources, will be paid for at a time when local authorities are already facing significant cuts to their budgets."
Mr Goldsmith, MP for Richmond Park, said: "The red line for me was maintaining a neighbour's right to object.
"The government has taken on board what we said, they've very definitely listened."

The mango is a juicy stone fruit (drupe) belonging to the genus Mangifera, consisting of numerous tropical fruiting trees, cultivated mostly for edible fruit. They all belong to the flowering plant family Anacardiaceae.
The mango is native to South Asia, from where it has been distributed worldwide to become one of the most cultivated fruits in the tropics.
The ripe fruit varies in size and color. Cultivars are variously yellow, orange, red, or green, and carry a single flat, oblong pit that can be fibrous or hairy on the surface, and which does not separate easily from the pulp. Ripe, unpeeled mangoes give off a distinctive resinous, sweet smell. Inside the pit 1–2 mm (0.039–0.079 in) thick is a thin lining covering a single seed, 4–7 cm (1.6–2.8 in) long. The seed contains the plant embryo. Mangos have recalcitrant seeds; they do not survive freezing and drying.

In its modern form, a gated community (or walled community) is a form of residential community or housing estate containing strictly controlled entrances for pedestrians, bicycles, and automobiles, and often characterized by a closed perimeter of walls and fences. Similar walls and gates have separated quarters of some cities for centuries. Gated communities usually consist of small residential streets and include various shared amenities. For smaller communities, these amenities may include only a park or other common area. For larger communities, it may be possible for residents to stay within the community for most daily activities. Gated communities are a type of common interest development, but are distinct from intentional communities.
Given that gated communities are spatially a type of enclave, Setha M. Low, an anthropologist, has argued that they have a negative effect on the net social capital of the broader community outside the gated community.[1] Some gated communities, usually called guard-gated communities, are staffed by private security guards and are often home to high-value properties, and/or are set up as retirement villages. Some gated communities are secure enough to resemble fortresses and are intended as such.

Besides the services of gatekeepers, many gated communities provide other amenities. These may depend on a number of factors including geographical location, demographic composition, community structure, and community fees collected. When there are subassociations that belong to master associations, the master association may provide many of the amenities. In general, the larger the association the more amenities that can be provided.
Amenities also depend on the type of housing. For example, single-family-home communities may not have a common-area swimming pool, since individual home-owners have the ability to construct their own private pools. A condominium, on the other hand, may offer a community pool, since the individual units do not have the option of a private pool installation.
Typical amenities offered can include one or more:
Community centres or clubhouses
Exercise rooms including workout machines
Around the world[edit]
Protective spikes in "security-zone" communities.

In Brazil, the most widespread form of gated community is called "condomínio fechado" (closed housing estate) and is the object of desire of the upper classes. Such a place is a small town with its own infrastructure (reserve power supply, sanitation, and security guards). The purpose of such a community is to protect its residents from exterior violence. The same philosophy is seen on closed buildings and most shopping centres (many of them can only be accessed from inside the parking lot or the garage).
In Pakistan, gated communities are located in big as well as small cities and are considered standard of high quality living. Defence Housing Authority[2] and Bahria Town[3] are major private gated community developers and administrators and one of the largest in the world. The assets of Bahria Town itself are worth $30 billion.[4] Most gated communities in Pakistan[5] have public parks, schools, hospitals, shopping malls, gymnasiums, and country clubs.[6]
In Argentina, they are called "barrios privados" (literal translation "private neighborhoods") or just "countries" and are often seen as a symbol of wealth. However, gated communities enjoy dubious social prestige (many members of the middle and upper middle class regard gated community dwellers as nouveaux riches or snobs[7]). While most gated communities have only houses, some bigger ones, such as Nordelta,[8] have their own hospital, school, shopping mall, and more.
In post-segregation South Africa, gated communities have mushroomed in response to high levels of violent crime. They are commonly referred to as "complexes" but also broadly classified as "security villages" (large-scale privately developed areas) or "enclosed neighborhoods .[9] Some of the newest neighborhoods being developed are almost entirely composed of security villages, some with malls and few other essential services (such as hospitals). In part, property developers have adopted this response to counter squatting, which local residents fear due to associated crime, and which often results in a protracted eviction process.
They are popular in southern China, namely the Pearl River Delta Region, the most famous of which is Clifford Estates.
In Saudi Arabia, gated communities have existed since the discovery of oil, mainly to accommodate families from Europe or North America. After threat levels have increased since the late 1990s against foreigners in general and U.S. citizens in particular[citation needed] gates have become armed, sometimes heavily, and all vehicles have been inspected. Marksmen and Saudi Arabian National Guard armored vehicles appeared in certain times, markedly after recent terrorist attacks in areas near-by, targeting people from European or North American countries.
Gated communities are rare in continental Europe and Japan.
The Retreat at Twin Lakes is the location of the shooting of Trayvon Martin.
Proponents of gated communities (and to a lesser degree, of cul-de-sac) maintain that the reduction or exclusion of people who would be only passing through, or more generally, of all non-local people, makes any "stranger" much more recognisable in the closed local environment, and thus reduces crime danger. Since only a very small proportion of all non-local people passing through the area are potential criminals, increased traffic should increase rather than decrease safety by having more people around whose presence could deter criminal behaviour or who could provide assistance during an incident.[10]
Another criticism is that gated communities offer a false sense of security. Some studies indicate that safety in gated communities may be more illusion than reality and that gated communities in suburban areas of the United States have no less crime than similar non-gated neighborhoods.[11]
A commentary in The New York Times specifically blames the gated communities for the shooting death of Trayvon Martin as the columnist states that "gated communities churn a vicious cycle by attracting like-minded residents who seek shelter from outsiders and whose physical seclusion then worsens paranoid groupthink against outsiders."[12]
In an influential paper, Vanessa Watson includes gated communities within a class of "African urban fantasies": attempts to remake African cities in the vein of Dubai or Singapore. In Watson's analysis, this kind of urban planning prizes exclusionary and self-contained spaces that limit opportunities for interaction between different classes, while worsening marginalization of the urban poor.[13]
Common economic model types[edit]
Life-style — country clubs, retirement developments.
Prestige — gates for status appeal
Physical security communities — gates for crime and traffic.
Purpose-designed communities — catering to foreigners (e.g. worker compounds in Mid-West Asia, built largely for the oil industry)
Comparison to closed cities[edit]
The closed cities of Russia are different from the gated communities.
The guard duty in closed cities is free to residents (paid by taxes)
The public transport in closed cities may go with transit checkpoints or checking passes/passports at technical stops and available to the others outside the security area. Within a gated community in the best cases, the bus stop is opposite the checkpoint, a few offer free buses. Via gated communities buses go due to easement or good will.
Fares and communal payment in closed cities are often equal (in all cases not greater) if it would be a common city. In gated communities service companies raise non legally fixed tariffs because it is difficult for those communities either to negotiate lower terms or knock out this service company (in most cases result is no Quorum).

A limited number of gated communities have long been established for foreigners in various regions of the world:
The worker compounds in the Middle East, built largely for the oil industry.
The Arbor Oaks subdivision located in El Monte, California, which appears in the film Back to the Future Part II as "Hilldale", is now gated because of the fans coming to see it in person. Residents are sometimes angry at fans who come by the development.[citation needed]
Argentina[edit]
There are many gated communities in Argentina, especially in Greater Buenos Aires, in the suburb of Pilar, 60 km N of Buenos Aires city, and in other suburban areas, such as Nordelta.[8] Tortugas Country Club was the first gated community developed in Argentina, dating from the 1930s/1940s, but most date from the 1990s, when liberal reforms were consolidated.
Since Buenos Aires has been traditionally regarded as a socially integrated city, gated communities have been the subject of research by sociologists. Gated communities are an important way through middle and upper-class people cope with the high levels of violent criminal activity in Greater Buenos Aires.[14]
Australia[edit]
Although gated communities have been rare in Australia, since the 1980s, a few have been built. The most well-known are those at Hope Island, in particular Sanctuary Cove, on the Gold Coast of Queensland. Other similar projects are being built in the area. In Victoria, the first such development is Sanctuary Lakes, in the local government area of Wyndham, about 16 km south west of Melbourne. In New South Wales, there is Macquarie Links gated community[15] as well as Southgate Estate gated community. Many Australian gated communities are built within private golf courses.
In the ACT, the only example is Uriarra Village, based around community horse paddocks and dwellings jointly managed through strata title.
Brazil[edit]
Alphaville, a gated community in the suburbs of São Paulo, Brazil, which is also a business center of its city proper, Barueri.
Brazil also has many gated communities, particularly in the metropolitan regions Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. For example, one of São Paulo's suburbs, Tamboré, has at least 6 such compounds known as Tamboré 1, 2, 3, and so on. Each consists of generously spaced detached houses with very little to separate front gardens.
One of the first big-scale gated community projects in São Paulo city region was Barueri's Alphaville, planned and constructed during the 1970s military dictatorship when the big cities of Brazil faced steep increases of car ownership[16] by the middle and higher-classes, rural exodus, poverty,[17] crime, urban sprawl, and downtown decay.
Canada[edit]
Neighbourhoods with "physical" or explicit gating with security checkpoints and patrols are extremely rare, being absent in even some of Canada's richest neighbourhoods such as Bridle Path, Toronto. Furthermore, municipal planning laws in many Canadian provinces ban locked gates on public roads as a public health issue since they deny emergency vehicles quick access.
A noted exception in Canada is Arbutus Ridge, an age-restricted community constructed between 1988 and 1992 on the southeastern coast of Vancouver Island.
More common in most Canadian neighbourhoods, especially the largest cities, is an implicit or symbolic gating which effectively partitions the private infrastructure and amenities of these communities from their surrounding neighbourhoods. A classic example of this is the affluent Montreal suburb of Mount Royal, which has a long fence running along its side of L'Acadie Boulevard that for all intents and purposes separates the community from the more working-class neighbourhood of Park Extension.[18] Also, many newer suburban subdivisions employ decorative gates to give the impression of exclusivity and seclusion.[19]
China[edit]
In China, some of these compounds, like most other gated communities around the world, target the rich. Also many foreigners live in gated communities in Beijing. Often foreign companies choose the locations where their foreign employees will live, and in most cases they pay the rent and associated costs (e.g. management fees and garden work).
Similar communities exist in Shanghai, another major Chinese city. Shanghai Links, an exclusive expatriate community enclosing a golf course and the Shanghai American School, is an example. Other notable gated communities in Shanghai include Seasons Villas, a development by Hutchinson Whampoa, Thomson Golf Villas, and Green Villas.
Other gated communities in China such as those in the Daxing District of Beijing enclose the homes of rural migrants. These are intended to reduce crime and increase public order and safety, which the Communist Party of China-run People's Daily claims it has, by 73%. The system is controversial as it segregates migrants and the poor, with some claiming its true purpose is to keep track of migrants, but it is scheduled for implementation in Changping District also.[20]
Ecuador[edit]
Guayaquil and Quito, Ecuador have many gated communities. In the coastal city of Guayaquil, they are mostly located in Samborondón and in Quito in the valleys surrounding the city. They are home mostly for the wealthiest people, but there is a trend, specially in Guayaquil, of houses in gated communities with moderate prices as well.
Egypt[edit]
In Greater Cairo, for example, there is Dreamland, Mountain View Egypt, and in Alexandria, there is el Maamoura.
India[edit]
In India, there are many gated neighborhoods (also called "colonies" in New Delhi) in big cities where most of the upper middle-class and upper-class people live. New Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Bangalore and the like all have gated communities. Sometimes these communities are separated not just by wealth but also by ethnicity. Members of a particular ethnicity tend to feel more comfortable living among their own owing to reasons related to common festivals, language, and cuisine. Examples of this are common in New Delhi where there is a strong Punjabi community. Many gated neighborhoods are predominantly Punjabi and there have been cases of discrimination against members of other ethnic backgrounds living in those communities. Likewise, there also exist Bengali, South Indian, Muslim, and Gujarati neighborhoods. Nowadays many modern gated communities are being developed like the Aamby Valley City and Lavasa City in Maharashtra occupying 100 square kilometers of area. Now gated communities are being built in Chennai, Hyderabad, Bangalore by a lot of real estate developers. In Bangalore, 3 locations are having community living those are Bannerghatta, Hebbal and villas in Devanahalli. As in neighboring countries, the target for these housing societies seem to be upper-middle or upper class citizens. Caste and religious discrimination is prevalent in the real estate industry. Several people have been denied homes based on their caste or religion regardless of this factor non-residential Indians are very interested in gated housing.[21]
Indonesia[edit]
In Indonesia, some gated communities are luxurious (with lots of up to 740 square metres (8000 sq ft)), and some are very affordable (with lots ranging from 40 to 120 square metres). From 2000, most of the new residential area build by private developer are gated community. Examples include Bumi Serpong Damai in South Tangerang, Telaga Golf Sawangan and Pesona Khayangan in Depok, and Sentul City in Bogor Regency. Gated communities in Indonesia still allow outsiders to use some of the facilities inside the community because there is a regulation that the social facilities in the residential development should be handed to the local government to be used by the public.[22]
Italy[edit]
Two examples of gated community in Italy are Olgiata in Rome and the village of Roccamare, in Castiglione della Pescaia, Tuscany.[23]
Malaysia[edit]
In Malaysia, these are known as Gated & Guarded Communities and have been seeing a steady increase in popularity.[24] Currently, according to the Town and Country Planning Department, there are four types of gated communities in Malaysia, namely:
Elite community: this type of gated community is primarily occupied by the upper-class or high-income group of people. It focuses on exclusion and status in which security is one of the major concerns due to the resident's status within the community.
Lifestyle community: the lifestyle community generally consists of retirement communities, leisure communities and suburban 'new towns'. Activities inside these communities can include golf courses, horseback riding and residents-oriented leisure activities.
Security zone community: the security zone community is the most popular type of gated community in which it offers a housing development that is surrounded by fences or gates. This development is normally provided with guard services.
Security zone community and lifestyle: this type of gated community housing development is usually developed within a city centre. It focuses on both the security aspect and the provision of lifestyle facilities for its residents.
The gated community is a concept that emerged in response to the rise of safety and security issues, and offers more advantages in terms of a calm environment and enhanced safety that is ideal for family development.[25]
Mexico[edit]
Gated communities in Mexico are a result of the huge income gap existing in the country. A 2008 study found that the average income in an urban area of Mexico was $26,654, a rate higher than advanced regions like Spain or Greece while the average income in rural areas (sometimes just a short distance away) was only $8,403.[citation needed] This close a proximity of wealth and poverty has created a large security risk for Mexico's middle class. Gated communities can be found in virtually every medium and large sized city in Mexico with the largest found in major cities, such as Monterrey, Mexico City or Guadalajara.
Luxury or "status" gated communities are very popular with middle to high income residents in Mexico. Gated luxury communities in Mexico are considerably cheaper than in countries such as the United States while retaining houses of similar size and quality due to the commonness of the communities and the lower cost to build them and are priced lower to attract middle class residents.
Many gated communities in Mexico have fully independent and self-contained infrastructure, such as schools, water and power facilities, security and fire forces, and medical facilities. Some of the larger gated communities even retain their own school districts and police departments. The Interlomas area of Mexico City contains hundreds of gated communities and is the largest concentration of gated communities in the world, stretching over 140 square kilometres (54 sq mi). The surrounding areas of Santa Fe, Bosques-Lomas, Interlomas-Bosque Real, are also made up predominantly of gated communities and span over 30% of Greater Mexico City.
Many smaller gated communities in Mexico are not officially classified as separate gated communities as many municipal rules prohibit closed off roads. Most of these small neighborhoods cater to lower middle income residents and offer a close perimeter and check points similar to an "authentic" gated community. This situation is tolerated and sometimes even promoted by some city governments due to the lack of capacity to provide reliable and trusted security forces.[26]
New Zealand[edit]
In New Zealand, gated communities have been developed in suburban areas of the main cities since the 1980s and 1990s.[27][28]
Pakistan[edit]
Houses in Bahria Town Rawalpindi in Islamabad Rawalpindi metropolitan area.
Pakistan has a very large number of gated communities, most of which target middle class Pakistanis. The largest being Bahria Town, which is also the largest in Asia and has communities in major cities. Defence Housing Authority is also a major developer of gated communities.
Others include WAPDA Town, Gulberg, Islamabad and Schon Properties, while Emaar Properties also maintains several gated communities in the country targeting primarily upper class people. Gated communities in Pakistan are mostly immune from problems of law enforcement and lack of energy faced by the majority of the other housing societies. In a short time, the property prices in such communities have greatly increased – in 2007 a 20-square-meter house in Bahria Town, Lahore cost around four million rupees ($40,000); a similar property in 2012 costed nine million rupees, while houses are priced around 100-300 million rupees.
Peru[edit]
Lima, Peru has several gated communities, especially in the wealthy districts of La Molina and Santiago de Surco. They are home to many prominent Peruvians.[citation needed]
Philippines[edit]
The Philippines has a sizable number of gated communities which are known in Philippine English as "subdivisions" or "villages". Regardless of their names, such communities may either form part of a larger barangay (village), or constitute a single barangay in and of themselves.
Russia[edit]

Saudi Arabia[edit]
In Saudi Arabia, many expatriate workers are required to live in company-provided housing. After the 2003 attack on Al Hambra, Jadawel, Siyanco and Vinell by militant Saudi dissidents,[30] the government established tight military security for those compounds with large western populations. Many western individuals also reside in the many other gated compounds or non-gated villas and apartments in the cities that they work. Saudi Aramco provides a compound in Dhahran which is one of the largest of its kind within Saudi Arabia. Gated communities are also popular with many Saudis, which accounts for the limited availability of open villas in these communities and the premium rent paid for that housing. These compounds can be found in many of Saudi Arabia's cities, including but not limited to Abha, Dhahran, Riyadh, and Taif.[31]
South Africa[edit]
South Africa has an increasing number of gated communities, often where the wealthy and enclosed live in close proximity to the urban poor (yet with little contact between the two).[32]
Thailand[edit]
Many housing estates in Thailand take the form of gated communities, targeted to the upper and middle classes. They may be managed by the development company or by resident committees.
Gated communities are often referred to as mubans in Thailand.[33]
Turkey[edit]
Turkey has several gated communities, especially in Istanbul and Ankara. Called "site" in Turkish, they are mostly located around the edge of the city.
United Arab Emirates[edit]
In the United Arab Emirates, gated communities have exploded in popularity, particularly in Dubai, where the 2002 decision to allow foreigners to own freehold properties has resulted in the construction of numerous such communities built along various themes. Examples include The Lakes, Springs, Meadows, and Arabian Ranches.
United Kingdom[edit]
In the United Kingdom, gated communities are relatively rare. In 2004 there were an estimated 1,000 such communities in England (i.e. not including Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland). They are usually on a small scale: a gated street of up to 60 or 100 houses, or a single block of up to 500 or 700 flats. They can be found in London, for example, in the Docklands (such as New Caledonian Wharf, Kings and Queen Wharf and Pan Peninsula) and East London (such as Bow Quarter in Bow, London).[34]
United States[edit]
Brick wall separating Naval Square from Grays Ferry Avenue in Philadelphia, PA.
Most gated communities in the US are unincorporated:[relevant? – discuss] some, like Indiana's Briar Ridge, may even span more than one incorporated municipality. However, there are numerous incorporated gated cities in Southern California, namely Bradbury, Canyon Lake, Hidden Hills, Laguna Woods, and Rolling Hills.[35] To meet legal requirements, the city halls and municipal facilities are public, and private corporations own parks and other facilities within the gates. By 1997, an estimated 20,000 gated communities had been built across the country.[36] Approximately 40% of new homes in California are behind walls.[37] In 1997, estimates of the number of people in gated communities ranged from 4 million in 30,000 communities[38] up to around 8 million, with a 1⁄2 million in California alone.[39] One reason that it is difficult to determine how many gated communities are in the United States is that most are privately developed.[40]

There are other incorporated gated communities outside California, including Lake Quivira, Kansas, Sea Ranch Lakes, Florida, Anderson Creek, North Carolina, and North Oaks, Minnesota.
Hot Springs Village, Arkansas is the largest gated community in the United States with over 26,000 heavily wooded acres. Hot Springs Village is governed by the Hot Springs Village Property Owners' Association (or POA for short), a private, tax-exempt home owners association. Bay Harbor, Michigan is the largest gated community in the Midwestern United States.
The village of Rosemont, Illinois, just outside Chicago, maintains a security checkpoint at the entrance of its main residential section. Naval Square was the first in the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The neighborhood gives a suburban feel to an otherwise urban environment.
Sea Gate, Brooklyn
In Downtown Miami, Florida, the neighborhood of Brickell Key is a gated island community of high-rise residential towers. Although anyone can walk onto the island or come via the public bus, only authorized automobiles may enter. Brickell Key has some of the most expensive apartments in Miami.[citation needed]
In 2012, the gated community The Retreat at Twin Lakes was made famous by the shooting of Trayvon Martin by George Zimmerman and has been in the national spotlight well into the year 2013 with the acquittal of Zimmerman.

In literature[edit]
(Alphabetical by author's last name)
In Margaret Atwood's novel Oryx and Crake, the characters Snowman and Crake live and work in corporate-owned gated communities known as compounds.
J.G. Ballard has examined the phenomenon in his novella Running Wild (1988) and in his novel Super-Cannes (2000).
T.C. Boyle's novel The Tortilla Curtain (1995) is set in and near a gated community in California.
The novel Parable of the Sower, by Octavia Butler, takes place in a world where much of civilization lives within gated communities.
In the novel I Will Fear No Evil by Robert A. Heinlein, the wealthiest citizens shelter from urban poverty inside fortress-like guarded gated communities.
Ira Levin's novel The Stepford Wives (1972) takes place inside an idyllic gated community that secretly enslaves its female members to conform to the standards of the men.
In the Percy Jackson & the Olympians and The Heroes of Olympus series by Rick Riordan, Elysium is depicted as a gated community from which one could hear laughter and smell barbecue cooking. Besides having the Isle of the Blessed in the center of a large lake there, Elysium has neighborhoods of beautiful houses from every time period in history such as Roman villas, medieval castles, and Victorian mansions. It also has flowers of silver and gold blooming on the lawns and grass rippling in rainbow colors.
In Argentina, Claudia Piñeiro's Las viudas de los jueves (Thursday Widows) became a local bestseller after winning the 2005 edition of El Clarín newspaper book award.[42] The novel depicts life of dwellers of a gated community, among them, families who enjoyed high incomes now facing economic hardships.
In Egypt, Ahmed Khaled Towfik's novel Utopia takes readers on a chilling journey beyond the gated communities of the North Coast where the wealthy are insulated from the bleakness of life outside the walls.
In the novel Snow Crash (1992) by Neal Stephenson, gated communities have evolved into "burbclaves" (suburban enclaves) which are effectively sovereign city-states.

Elon Musk Confirms He's 'Out for Blood,' Declares Total War on the Democrat Establishment
From the moment news of Elon Musk's purchase of a 9-percent stake in Twitter Company broke, the assault on the self-described free-speech absolutist began. Musk has faced regulatory scrutiny, been labeled a racist and on Thursday, he was accused of sexual misconduct.
If the left was expecting to cow the world's richest man into submission, they've seriously misread him. Not only is he undaunted, he's "out for blood."
I am indeed out for blood
Although Twitter is best known for suppressing the Hunter Biden laptop story ahead of the 2020 presidential election, the company also played a huge role in perpetuating the Trump-Russia hoax, which began as an effort to sway the 2016 election and was quite possibly the biggest fraud ever perpetrated in American political history.
Punk Swipes Knife at Motorcyclist, Realizes He Picked the Wrong Guy When the Biker's Vest Opens
The powers that be at Twitter, other Big Tech firms and the legacy media, who hold themselves out to be arbiters of the truth, helped advance the lies and conceal the truth to shape the national debate. Their efforts turned a large portion of Americans against former President Donald Trump and have caused untold destruction and division in the country.
The Tesla and SpaceX CEO was actually a Clinton campaign donor and voter in 2016. He, like many Americans, bought the lies.
Now, he's taking aim at the Trump-Russia hoax, a fabrication that's still being allowed to spread on Twitter, despite overwhelmingly harsh action against conservatives who try to counter the lies.
Do you think it's possible to topple the left's lock on US news?
Yes: 85% (308 Votes)
After her campaign alerted the media to the bogus story that the Trump organization had covert ties to Russia's Alfa Bank in October 2016, a move we learned on Friday that she herself had approved, then-Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton immediately took to Twitter to disseminate the false story. She even included a statement from our current national security advisor, Jake Sullivan, for added credibility.
It's time for Trump to answer serious questions about his ties to Russia. https://t.co/D8oSmyVAR4 pic.twitter.com/07dRyEmPjX
— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) October 31, 2016
Computer scientists have apparently uncovered a covert server linking the Trump Organization to a Russian-based bank. pic.twitter.com/8f8n9xMzUU

Elon Fires Back After Accuser Comes Out of Nowhere, Issues Her a Single Ingenious Challenge
Both tweets are textbook examples of disinformation, yet each remains in place on Twitter's website. This issue was raised by a Twitter user, who sent a message to Musk asking him to look into it when he gains control of the company.
@elonmusk I have reported this tweet as misleading disinformation to the powers that be at @twitter . I would be interested to know if, when you receive control over the company, anything was done with this at any level. Pls advise soonest.
— VeeSPIKE (@veespike) May 20, 2022
Musk acknowledged the tweet below and then messaged Twitter's current CEO, Parag Agrawal, and the company's policy and legal head, Vijaya Gadde, who serves as Twitter's ultimate censor.
You are absolutely correct. That tweet is a Clinton campaign hoax for which their campaign lawyer is undergoing a criminal trial. https://t.co/avtjEdthmA
.@paraga and @vijaya, what say you?
The Democrats started it and now it's game on. Musk has declared war on the Democratic establishment.
All true.
Bet most people still don't know that a Clinton campaign lawyer, using campaign funds, created an elaborate hoax about Trump and Russia.
Makes you wonder what else is fake.
https://t.co/avtjEdthmA
In the past I voted Democrat, because they were (mostly) the kindness party.
But they have become the party of division & hate, so I can no longer support them and will vote Republican.
Now, watch their dirty tricks campaign against me unfold … 🍿
It will be good for America to have someone like Musk at the top of a major tech platform. There's no way to overstate the importance of a plurality of voices in the national conversation. His leadership will help topple the left's lock on U.S. news.
Thanks to the hate they've piled onto Musk, the left has awoken a sleeping giant. And just like the Japanese in World War II, they may live to regret it.

Q: Creating a New Core Data Object If It Does Not Exist, or Obtaining an Existing Object if it Does Exist with Core Data I have been working on this problem now for many days and am in need of assistance because I'm not sure how to proceed. The problem I'm facing (which will become clearer as you read through this question) is I'm not sure how obtain an existing NSManagedObject if it already exists when creating a new one.
Let's take a step back to look at the Model and the premise of the app is simple; allow users to create "Transactions" which has a name, amount, occasion and date - upon creating a new Transaction, a user should be allowed to choose an existing name. The Data Model:

*

*Transaction Entity with wasGiven attribute

*Person Entity with name attribute

*Occasion Entity with title attribute

*Item Entity with amount attribute

The transaction has a relationship to the Person entity (whoBy), a link to the Occasion Entity (occasion) and a link to the Item Entity (itemType).
The App is a simple 2 Tabb-ed Table View Controller - the first tab contains all of the information, sectioned off by dates. The second tab contains just the "Name" information. There is a plus button and when the user presses that, they're presented with a Modal View to add in the Name, Occasion, Amount and Date. They press save and it saves it to the Core Data Database.
Problem
Creating a new transaction with a new name creates this perfectly.
Creating a new transaction with an existing name (with the user manually typing in the identical name) creates a new object in the first tab as a separate entry (correct) but in the name tab, it creates a duplicate name for that person. When you click on either of the duplicate names, it shows both transactions. The problem here is that it's looking like it's creating a new Person object every time instead of referencing.
Code
I have gone through MULTIPLE iterations to try get this working and here is the latest code, using subclasses of NSManagedObject.
The managedObjectContext is obtained from the App Delegate.
The name, event, amount and date are stored in their own text fields.
AddEntry.m - Save Method
- (IBAction)save:(id)sender
{
    NSManagedObjectContext *context = [self managedObjectContext];
    Transaction *transaction = [NSEntityDescription insertNewObjectForEntityForName:@"Transaction" inManagedObjectContext:context];
    Item *itemType = [NSEntityDescription insertNewObjectForEntityForName:@"Item" inManagedObjectContext:context];
    Person *p = (Person *)[Person personWithName:self.nameTextField.text inManagedObjectContext:context];
    Occasion *o = (Occasion *)[Occasion occasionWithTitle:self.occasionTextField.text andEventDate:self.dateTextField.text inManagedObjectContext:context];

    transaction.whoBy = p;
    occasion.title = self.occasionTextField.text;
    transaction.occasion = o;

    itemType.amount = self.itemTextField.text;
    transaction.item = itemType;
    transaction.wasReceived = @(self.isReceivedSegment.selectedSegmentIndex == 0);
    NSError *error = nil;
    if (![context save:&error])
    {
        NSLog(@"Can't save! %@ %@", error, [error localizedDescription]);
    }
    [self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
}

This of course calls the Person NSManagedObject subclass and here is where I have gone through a few iterations.
Person NSManagedObject Subclass - Iteration 1 - Predicates
+ (Occasion *)eventWithName:(NSString *)title andEventDate:(NSString *)date inManagedObjectContext:(NSManagedObjectContext *)context;
{
    Occasion *occasion = nil;
    NSFetchRequest *request = [NSFetchRequest fetchRequestWithEntityName:@"Occasion"];
    request.predicate = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"title = %@", title];
    NSSortDescriptor *sortDescriptor = [NSSortDescriptor sortDescriptorWithKey:@"title" ascending:YES];
    request.sortDescriptors = [NSArray arrayWithObject:sortDescriptor];

    NSError *error = nil;
    NSArray *occasions = [context executeFetchRequest:request error:&error];

    if (!occasions)
    {
        // Handle Error
    }
    else if (![occasions count])
    {
        occasion = [NSEntityDescription insertNewObjectForEntityForName:@"Occasion" inManagedObjectContext:context];
        occasion.title = title;
    }
    else
    {
        occasion = [occasions lastObject];
    }
    occasion.dateOfEvent = date;
    return occasion;
}

Problem
This somewhat works. I placed a breakpoint and the returned "person" that gets returned here and to the save method in the Add Entry is the same if the object already exists and new if it's a new object, but when it comes to the second tab, it's still adding the a second entry for the same person.
Iteration 2 - objectID
With trying to obtain the Object ID, I'm getting the same result of duplicated entries in the second tab:
+ (Person *)personWithName:(NSString *)name inManagedObjectContext:(NSManagedObjectContext *)context;
{
    Person *person;

    NSManagedObjectID *personID = person.objectID;

    if (!personID)
    {
        person = [NSEntityDescription insertNewObjectForEntityForName:@"Person" inManagedObjectContext:context];
        person.name = name;
        return person;
    }
    else
    {
        return person;
    }
}

In case it matters, the second tab's fetchRequest is as follows:
- (NSFetchedResultsController *)fetchedResultsController
{
    if (_fetchedResultsController != nil)
    {
        return _fetchedResultsController;
    }
    NSFetchRequest *fetchRequest = [[NSFetchRequest alloc] init];
    NSEntityDescription *entity = [NSEntityDescription entityForName:@"Occasion" inManagedObjectContext:managedObjectContext];
    fetchRequest.entity = entity;
    NSSortDescriptor *sort = [[NSSortDescriptor alloc] initWithKey:@"title" ascending:NO];
    fetchRequest.sortDescriptors = [NSArray arrayWithObject:sort];
    fetchRequest.fetchBatchSize = 20;
     NSFetchedResultsController *theFetchedResultsController = [[NSFetchedResultsController alloc] initWithFetchRequest:fetchRequest managedObjectContext:managedObjectContext sectionNameKeyPath:nil cacheName:nil];
    self.fetchedResultsController = theFetchedResultsController;
    _fetchedResultsController.delegate = self;
    return _fetchedResultsController;
}

EDIT
I'm wondering if the fact that I don't have a predicate here in the second tab fetchRequest means it's illustrating ALL objects..
Of course, I'm future proofing this because in the first tab, when I click on a cell, I'd like to have that "Transaction" passed across so I can edit the field.
This is driving me crazy and is really stopping my app from progressing, so any assistance here would be massively appreciated!
EDIT: Data Model Included

A: Ok this is what is happening... U add first transaction and for a name U provide Jack, then U add second transaction (T further in text) and add name John, after U add third T with name Jack and add another with name John. If U take a look at the tables in the database you will see that Transitions table has 4 entries cause You added 4 transitions, but Persons has only two. It has 2 cause you added a filter on Persons input so that it cannot contain two same names. And the mistake you made is that U tried to fetch from Transition table all entries. Of course U get 4 names (2 Johns and 2 Jacks) cause there R 4 entries in Transition table and each is associated with a Person record. If U want to fetch all persons you shouldn't fetch it from the Transition table, you should do it from Persons table OR you should add     [r setReturnsDistinctResults:YES]; on your fetch request in case U R fetching from Transition table... I think there is a way to set distinct by which property but I don't know the syntax. So the problem is really in what do You want to do, do you want to present all the persons U have in your database, or you want to present names on your transitions which means that same people could have made different transitions. See...

A: I persum that you have Transaction <<-Person so in Transaction managed object you have a set of persons because of the relation. When you add the same person to the Transaction it creates a new managed object and adds it to the set, and if you fetch by name you will have multiple records of the Transaction that have the same name, but that doesnt mean that you have multiple Persons. Do the fetch on Persons table directly and you will see that the values are distinct...
I recomend you instal something like Firefox and use sqlLiteManager to take a peak in the database itself...

Lizzie O'Shea at the Last Bookstore
The Last Bookstore
453 South Spring Street
Los Angeles, CA 90013 United States
Join Lizzie O'Shea for a discussion about Future Histories at the Last Bookstore.
The Last Bookstore is pleased to welcome Lizzie O'Shea to Los Angeles discuss her recently published book Future Histories. An activist and lawyer from Melbourne, Australia, O'Shea's book is currently shortlisted for the 2020 Wheeler Centre's Victorian Premier's Literary Awards. Join us for a lively discussion on what moments from our past might help guide a path for a more democratic future in how we understand technology's role in our lives.
"Before we became big data bundles for the lackeys of Dorsey, Jobs, Zuckerberg, and Bezos, to exploit, the digital revolution seemed to promise a democratic utopia, a commons in cyberspace not governed by neoliberal norms. Can we realize that revolutionary dream and stop desiring our own domination? Incredibly, yet thrillingly and plausibly, Lizzie O'Shea argues that, if only we can mobilize history to serve rather than enervate us, the answer is yes." – Stuart Jeffries
"This insightful, provocative book is an intellectual kaleidoscope that sits effortlessly at the crossroads between investigation, history and radical philosophy." -Shortlisted for the Victorian Premier's Literary Awards 2020.
What, she asks, can the Paris Commune tell us about earlier experiments in sharing resources—like the Internet—in common? Can debates over digital access be guided by Tom Paine's theories of democratic economic redistribution? And how is Elon Musk not a visionary but a throwback to Victorian-era utopians?
In engaging, sparkling prose, O'Shea shows us how very human our understanding of technology is, and what potential exists for struggle, for liberation, for art and poetry in our digital present. Future Histories is for all of us—makers, coders, hacktivists, Facebook-users, self-styled Luddites—who find ourselves in a brave new world.
Lizzie O'Shea is a lawyer, writer, and broadcaster. She is regularly featured on national television programs and radio to comment on law, digital technology, corporate responsibility, and human rights, and her writing has appeared in the New York Times, Guardian, and the Sydney Morning Herald, among others.

Genes involved in regulation of energy expenditure, appetite, and fat metabolism, all play an important role in weight regulation. In fact 40% to 80% of the variance in body weight is due to genetic factors. This helps to explain why not everyone gains or loses weight while following the same diet, despite being exposed to similar environments. Identifying an individual's responsiveness to diet and lifestyle modification to control weight can be extremely advantageous.
Genetics determines an individual's susceptibility to obesity when exposed to an unfavourable environment. It also explores the way a person responds to diet and exercise.

The DNA Health test is designed to optimise well-being and health by personalising lifestyle and diet choices and, where necessary, using supplements tailored to offset any particular nutritional deficit based on specific gene variants.
Diet is a key factor in determining genomic stability as it impacts on all relevant pathways: exposure to dietary carcinogens, biotransformation, DNA repair and synthesis, and apoptosis.
DNA Mind
The DNA mind test analyses 30 genes which have been shown to have significant associations with key mental health disorders.
DNA mind reports on associations in the following areas:
Neurodegenerative disorders – mild cognitive decline & late onset Alzheimer's disease
Mood disorders – Depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, anxiety disorder & post-traumatic stressdisorder
Addictive behaviour – Risk for alcohol, nicotine, cannabis & opioid dependence, psychosisresponse from cannabis use, eating disorders (binge eating), 'adrenaline seeking'/risk-taking behaviour
DNA Oestrogen
DNA Oestrogen includes 11 genes involved in oestrogen biosynthesis, oestrogen metabolism, and phase I and phase II detoxification, providing information to guide personalised diet, lifestyle, hormone, and nutra-ceutical recommendations.
Approximately 80% of breast cancer occurs in women with no family history. Oestrogen affects the function of a number of target tissues and research has shown that an increased lifetime exposure to oestrogen is a strong risk factor in the development of breast cancer. DNA Oestrogen tests for gene variants that have been shown to have an impact on how oestrogen is metabolised.
Guiding the personalisation of diet, hormone and nutritional supplement recommendations, based on the insight gained from the DNA Oestrogen test, to improve oestrogen metabolism is of benefit to men and women who suffer from numerous oestrogen-dominant conditions and who have higher lifetime exposure to oestrogens, oestrogen metabolites and other carcinogens.
DNA Skin
Based on the results from the DNA Skin test, personalised lifestyle, nutrition, nutraceutical and cosmeceutical recommendations can be given for improved skin care and to decrease the visible signs of ageing.
DNA Sports Profile
With DNA Sport, we can help personalise a training strategy that optimises your genetic potential, and identify the right lifestyle, nutrition and environmental interactions to optimally express your genetic potential.
DNA Test Reports Package
This package includes the following six DNA reports: Methylation, Detoxification, Oestrogen Balance, Histamine Intolerance, Nervous System, APOE Plus
EstroGenomic® DNA Profile
The EstroGenomic® Profile uses genomic testing to identify susceptibility to diseases and conditions such as breast cancer, osteoporosis, and heart disease. This profile evaluates genetic variations, called single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in genes that modulate estrogen metabolism, coagulation, cardiovascular function, bone health, and inflammation.
Genomics DNA Profiles Package
The human genome is comprised of approximately 3 billion base pairs of DNA. Many people mistakenly assume that the presence of a certain gene or single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) means they are destined to experience the associated disease. However, most genes have flexible expressions and complex interactions among multiple genes and the environment affect gene expression.
These interactions – known as epigenetic influences – include diet, chemical exposure, stress response, and the presence of other SNPs.
Our Genomics Profile Package includes:
CardioGenomicPlus Profile, DetoxiGenomic Profile, Estrogenomic Profile, ImmunoGenomic Profile, NeuroGenomic Profile
Histamine Intolerance DNA Report
Histamine intolerance is a toxic response by the body resulting from an imbalance between accumulated histamine and the capacity to break it down.
Histamine toxicity is associated with numerous symptoms that mimic an allergic reaction such as skin irritation, gastro-intestinal upset, respiratory distress, headaches, insomnia and anxiety.
IgG/IgE Food Sensitivity Test
IgG Food Antibody Assessment is a food sensitivity test which helps identify those with true IgE-mediated allergies as well as IgG-mediated food sensitivities. This immunological food sensitivity test measures IgG antibody levels to 87 foods, and total IgE. Additional sensitivity tests are also available for regional inhalants, moulds, vegetables, and spices. This antibody food sensitivity test is ideal for patients who may suffer from delayed reactions/sensitivities to specific foods. It may also provide insight on intolerances, or non-immune responses, to certain foods.
ImmunoGenomic® DNA Profile
This test evaluates genetic variations in genes that modulate immune and inflammatory activity. These variations can affect balance between cell (Th-1) and humoral (Th-2) immunity, trigger potential defects in immune system defense, and stimulate mechanisms underlying chronic, overactive inflammatory responses.
Methylation DNA Report
Methylation is critical for keeping your body and brain biochemistry in balance.
Common genetic variants (SNPs) can impact our natural ability to methylate and thus result in increased susceptibility to systemic imbalances and chronic health conditions including heart disease, depression, diabetes, chronic fatigue, autoimmune disease, poor foetal development and premature ageing.
Nervous System DNA Report
The nervous system DNA test examines the key genes and variants (SNPs) that affect neurotransmitter balance, nerve cell growth & maintenance, thyroid hormone conversion, inflammation and pharmacological response.
Common genetic variants combined with environmental factors including nutrient imbalances, low physical activity, toxins and other stressors can result in anxiety, depression, mood imbalances, lack of motivation, drive or focus, addiction, poor memory or sleep disturbances.
NeuroGenomic™ DNA Profile
This test evaluates single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in genes that modulate methylation, glutathione conjugation, oxidative protection and the potential to evaluate vascular oxidation.
Nucleotides 45g
Nucleotides are natural compounds, which form the building blocks of our DNA, essential for cell division.
Every day, every second, our bodies create millions of new cells, building and repairing worn out tissue. All those genes code for new hormones, neurotransmitters, enzymes and millions of other essential body chemicals. Without adequate nucleotide levels, all of these processes can be disturbed.
Some of the benefits of Nucleotide supplements include:
Reduction in IBS symptoms.
Immune enhancing capability.
Shown to reduce the symptoms of common cold, including earache and sinus pain, and were especially effective if supplemented at an early stage of the infection.
If you're trying to increase your muscle tone, nucleotides are essential for protein synthesis, and they make a perfect addition to your supplement programme alongside protein powders.
Oestrogen Balance DNA Report
Imbalanced hormones can have a number of negative effects on health and well-being and are highly influenced by environmental, dietary and genetic factors.
The main role of oestrogen in the body is to increase the growth and production of cells, but it is also involved in the regulation of the female reproductive system, the development of secondary sex characteristics, maintenance of bone density, blood clotting, skin health and mucous membranes.


Whole foods are regarded to be the only way through which you can gain body mass, but in case you are having hard times in getting enough calories in whole foods, then you might look out for some other supplements which can help you gain proper body weight. Weight gainers will enable to reach the calorie needs and they are highly convenient to use. You should always opt for weight gainer that is low in saturated fat. You won't believe that these gainers are good to use pre workout as they will not reduce your energy during workout. For more visit くすりエクスプレス.
What does best weight gainer do?
There are numerous supplements that are found in the stores which claim to boost up the muscle and also encourage healthy mass gain. But, it is important for you to select the right one that suits your requirements. Weight gainers will contain high level of proteins and calories that is necessary to boost up the body function. It is true, that regular meals will offer you with the necessary energy, but with weight boosters you can expect to have quick growth of muscle. Therefore, whenever you think of a fitness regime, you should also add right booster to your diet plan for quicker results. For more visit ベストケンコー.
How much efficient they are?
Best weight gainer is highly efficient. Muscle gainers are produced with essential components that can assist in growth and help in muscle gain. It is also not possible to gain same kind of results from all kind of weight gainer. There are very few of them that can give you the opportunity to gain weight in form of belly fat and stored fats. In case you are looking for healthy weight gain, you can select the one that is designed to develop lean muscle.
Meal replacement: A bar is the mid way between low as well as high calories and carbohydrates. There are many people who are concerned about body building and need extra meals without the desire to eat full food. Meal replacement bars are also the only answer to any kind of diet plan.
The important factor that needs to be considered is the amount of calorie that you take once you eat the bar. If you are opting for fat loss diet, then you should opt for bars and having too much calories can be a risk in a diet plan. If your goal is to develop your muscles then get a bar with 400 calories which will become the best choice. You need to look out for the calorie level of protein bars which you wish to consume.

I'm trialling the Alfresco community edition 2.1 + WCM and I have a problem when editing html content for a Web Project. I can create the content in the WSYWIG editor fine. However, when I try to edit it by clicking on the edit icon next to it, I get the message "
To edit the file 'test.html', click the link below and if asked select Save." instead of the WSYWIG editor. I can't edit the content on the web browser. It's as though Alfresco can't work out that I can edit the content type in the browser.
When I create HTML content outside of a web project (e.g. in a normal Space) I works fine.
Any clues? Thanks for your help.
Ok, it seems from this thread that this is a feature not a bug.
Is there a way to enable inline editing? For my purpose I really need it to be enabled.
on that HTML fragment and re-load upu the form for editing.
A separate feature enhancement to simply load up the WYSIWYG editor for an HTML fragment without an associated template is noted. However, to get started today, I'd recommend either one of the two above. Ultimately, if we were to address the feature improvements, under the covers we'd likely make the out of the box use of the WYSIWYG editor works exactly as noted in #2 above.
do you have any plans for the second options to incorporate in the upcoming releases? I would be a nice way for simple editing of static HTML files when migrating from a 'web 1.0' website.

A mother and grandmother, Karen was born and raised in Hamilton and has been interested in art her whole life. Taking private drawing lessons as a child with Juanita LeBarre Symington, specializing in art studies throughout high school and receiving three honours certificates in fine arts from Mohawk College has helped keep art a central component of her life. As a lifelong learner Karen is always looking for new techniques and enjoys the opportunity to try all forms of media. She has worked in pencil, ink, charcoal, pastel, watercolor, encaustic, coloured pencil, acrylic, Chinese Brush Painting as well as ceramics and silver smithing. Originally a mechanical draftsperson and technical illustrator, Karen now works part time for two not-for-profit, industrial environmental organizations. Although there isn't much time left each week she still makes time to continue her painting and hopes one day to retire to do it full time. Karen most enjoys painting botanicals, birds and animals in fine detail and shows her work at McMaster Innovation Park, juried shows and local fall fairs. Over the last few months her work has won "best in show" awards at several fall fairs and most recently she was awarded honourable mention at the Botanical Artists of Canada juried exhibition at the Papermill Gallery at Todmorden Mills in Toronto for her first ever coloured pencil illustration.
Her love of nature and Ontario's native plants has been the focus of her most recent works as she tries to capture the beauty of these sometimes elusive plants.
She has recently discovered there are many other groups that share this style and love of nature so she has joined the Southern Ontario Nature and Science Illustrators (SONSI) and the Botanical Artists of Canada (BAC) to learn from others and grow as an artist. Through meeting others she has been encouraged to experiment with different media and is excited to see where this will take her.

1. Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get – only with what you are expecting to give, which is everything.
Excerpt from Wikipedia: Katharine Houghton Hepburn (May 12, 1907 – June 29, 2003) was an American actress of film, television and stage.
1. Acting is a nice childish profession – pretending you're someone else and, at the same time, selling yourself.
2. I never lose sight of the fact that just being is fun.
3. I think most of the people involved in any art always secretly wonder whether they are really there because they're good or there because they're lucky.
4. It's life isn't it? You plow ahead and make a hit. And you plow on and someone passes you. Then someone passes them. Time levels.
5. Life is to be lived. If you have to support yourself, you had bloody well better find some way that is going to be interesting. And you don't do that by sitting around.
6. To keep your character intact you cannot stoop to filthy acts. It makes it easier to stoop the next time.
7. If you want to sacrifice the admiration of many men for the criticism of one, go ahead, get married.
8. We are taught you must blame your father, your sisters, your brothers, the school, the teachers – but never blame yourself. It's never your fault. But it's always your fault, because if you wanted to change you're the one who has got to change.
9. If you obey all of the rules, you miss all of the fun.
