During the recent European elections, Fine Gael candidates wouldn't answer the following question: what will happen to the €300,000,000 the Central Bank gets when it sells the first of the promissory note sovereign bonds later this year. Will that money be destroyed?
In an interview on Matt Cooper's Today FM programme, newly elected Fine Gael MEP, Brian Hayes, likewise wouldn't give a straight reply to that question.
In the Dáil, responding to three separate parliamentary questions, Finance Minister Michael Noonan wouldn't reply. "The Central Bank is independent in the exercise of its functions, and the management of its investment holdings is a matter for the bank itself. Neither I, nor the Department of Finance, have any role in those matters," he said. Slightly bemusing, considering Noonan was one of the primary architects of the deal that gave birth to those notes.
On Friday, July 25, two members of the 'Ballyhea/Charleville Says No' campaign group (Fiona Fitzpatrick and Diarmuid O'Flynn), two MEPs (Luke Ming Flanagan and Nessa Childers) and two Independent TDs (Stephen Donnelly and Peter Mathews) met with Central Bank Governor, Patrick Honohan, and asked him that simple question. Governor Honohan's answer was unequivocal — the millions will be destroyed, or, as he said, "extinguished".
Mr Honohan also said that the €350,000,000 raised from the sale, last year, of a portion of the 2012 bond had been 'extinguished', as had the €3.1bn borrowed to pay off the 2011 promissory note, as will be another €500,000,000 next year, and another the year after — every euro, in fact, of the €25,000,000,000 to be raised in the coming years.
So, now we have the answer.
To bail out the creditors (read major European banks) of two bust Irish banks (Anglo Irish and Irish Nationwide), over the next 40 years, the Irish people will pay at least €70bn (when the 2011 and 2012 notes are included), the bulk of which will be paid in the final two decades. That's €15,000 for every man, woman and child.
Multiply that scenario by 100,000 and that's what Noonan has done on our behalf. If you're okay with that, do nothing — that debt is coming. If you're not, join the Ballyhea/Charleville campaign group, join Luke and Nessa, Stephen and Peter, join all eight MEPs now fighting our cause in Europe on these promissory note bonds, as we take this fight to the ECB (Sinn Féin's Liadh Ní Ríada, Lynn Boylan, Matt Carthy, along with Derry's Martina Anderson, Independents Marian Harkin and Brian Crowley).

Reporter: Blast Hit Arena Full Of Young Girls At U.S. Pop Star's Concert
By Audie Cornish
We want to update you now on an ongoing story - an attack on a pop concert in Manchester, England. Police there Report 19 dead, another 50 or so injured. The explosions took place just outside the arena where an American pop singer, Ariana Grande, had just finished performing. Earlier we spoke with Andy Bounds of the Financial Times about what more police are saying about this incident which they say they are treating as a terrorist attack.
ANDY BOUNDS: They still haven't confirmed it definitely, but it seems very, very likely, especially as they've just carried out another whole explosion on a suspected device near the scene of the incident.
CORNISH: As you said, it's the second controlled detonation that they've done. Can you talk about where they think these explosions took place? It wasn't inside the concert hall.
BOUNDS: No, that's right. There's only one we know of, and that was about probably 300 or 400 yards away in a small park which is near the concert hall and the station. But the main explosion happened within the foyer area of the concert hall. This is a very big arena. It's got 21,000 capacity. It was obviously full tonight, especially with young girls, as it was an Ariana Grande concert.
CORNISH: And so you have a full concert hall, concertgoers. You also have, I understand, a nearby transit station that is closed for other unrelated reasons. So you have...
BOUNDS: No, I...
CORNISH: ...Quite a few people milling about.
BOUNDS: Yeah, I think it's related because the arena itself sits on top of the station, which is one of the two main stations in Manchester. And therefore they've had to close that station because they obviously, you know, want to make sure the area is secure before they can allow people into it. There's quite a big ring around the area now where people are not allowed to go in.
CORNISH: What does that look like? Are people trying to make phone calls? Are you seeing any of the injured?
BOUNDS: Well, I must admit, I'm not too close to the scene at the minute because it's obviously happened very late at night here.
CORNISH: Sure.
BOUNDS: And I'm just trying to keep on top of things from where I am. But obviously, you know, the reports that I've seen and the footage and so on - there are, you know, lots and lots of people trying to get away still, people being treated at the scene and a considerable amount of confusion. You know, people are now being taken away in ambulances to hospital.
CORNISH: You mention the demographic of some of the concertgoers, this being American pop star Ariana Grande. But do we have a sense of maybe parents looking for young people or how people are trying to organize themselves to say they're OK?
BOUNDS: There are people that still have not been able to get in to pick their children up. There are reports of various children being looked after in hotels until they can be reunited. And it appears as though parents who were waiting to collect their children at the end of the concert may have been caught up in the blast itself which happened right at the end as people were leaving.
CORNISH: That's reporter Andy Bounds of the Financial Time (ph) reporting on explosions in an attack on a concert in Manchester, England. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Mavericks thrash Clippers; Hornets hand Nets first loss of NBA season
LOS ANGELES: Luke Kennard #5 looks up as Terance Mann #14 of the Los Angeles Clippers gets a loose ball against Josh Green #8 and Boban Marjanovic #51 of the Dallas Mavericks in the second half at Staples Center on December 27, 2020. – AFP
LOS ANGELES: The Dallas Mavericks powered to an NBA-record 50-point halftime lead on the way to a 124-73 demolition of the short-handed Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday. The Mavs, taking full advantage of the absence of injured Clippers star Kawhi Leonard, set the tone early. Point guard Luka Doncic scored 18 of his 24 points in the first half and the halftime score of 77-27 gave Dallas the largest margin at the break ever in the NBA, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
Josh Richardson added 21 points and Tim Hardaway Jr. chipped in 18 for the Mavs, who had opened the season with two defeats. "Everything was clicking on all cylinders," Hardaway said, adding that the Mavericks did not realize how big their halftime lead was until they were in the locker room. Coach Rick Carlisle said the key for the Mavericks going forward would be to maintain the intensity they showed in the first half. "Our guys established a standard for collective toughness and will that we need to find a way to maintain," he said.
In Charlotte, Gordon Hayward scored 28 points as the Hornets cooled off red-hot Brooklyn, handing the Nets their first defeat of the season 106-104. Terry Rozier-Hayward's former teammate in Boston-added 19 points and PJ Washington chipped in 14 points and 12 rebounds for the Hornets, who held the Nets to 42.7 percent shooting. "Unbelievable win for us," said Hayward, who joined the Hornets from the Celtics in November. "Just proud of our effort, man, proud of our defense. We finally got it together it seemed like on that end."
Kevin Durant led the Nets with 29 points and Kyrie Irving had 25 for Brooklyn, which had become the first club since the 2008-09 Lakers to win their first two games by 20 or more points. It looked like the Nets might pull out a close one when they erased a 16-point fourth-quarter deficit, twice trimming the gap to two points with less than three minutes to play. Durant missed a fadeaway jumper with 7.4 seconds left and Rozier made two free throws that sealed the win. The Hornets were playing without center Cody Zeller, who broke his left hand in their season opener.
Brooklyn guard Spencer Dinwiddie departed in the third quarter with a right knee strain and did not return. The reigning champion Los Angeles Lakers seemed not to feel the absence of Anthony Davis, nursing a calf contusion, in a 127-91 romp past the Minnesota Timberwolves-who were without star Karl-Anthony Towns a day after he dislocated his left wrist in a win over Utah. Kyle Kuzma led the Lakers with 20 points. LeBron James added 18 with nine rebounds and five assists and sat out the fourth quarter with the game in hand.
'Why chance it?'
The Cleveland Cavaliers, with 24 points, 14 rebounds, three assists and three steals from Andre Drummond, cruised to a 118-94 victory over a Philadelphia 76ers team missing big man Joel Embiid, who was a late scratch with a tight back. "We just thought, why chance it this early in the season," Sixers coach Doc Rivers said. "Nothing to be concerned about." The Golden State Warriors, who were again without Draymond Green-and may have lost center Marquese Chriss for the season with a broken right leg and ankle injury suffered in practice-shook off the bad news to edge the Bulls in Chicago 129-128.
Stephen Curry delivered 36 points with five three-pointers. His first long-range shot of the night made him just the third player, along with Ray Allen and Reggie Miller, to make 2,500 three-pointers in their career. But it was Damion Lee who drilled the game-winner from beyond the arc with 2.3 seconds remaining, taking over as the Bulls prevented Curry from getting his hands on an inbounds pass. It was a blowout in New York, where the Knicks stunned Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks 130-110. – AFP

Facebook's 'On This Day' is now 'Memories' and we still think it's pointless
by Rachel Kaser — in Facebook
Facebook is making a new page called Memories, an expansion of On This Day, a pointless feature in which Facebook spits out your own most popular posts and calls it nostalgia. Now it proposes to throw even more of your own memories to you.
The new Memories page, announced by Facebook today, takes the usual On This Day stuff and expands it to include Friends Made On This Day, weekly and monthly recaps, and memories you may have missed by not logging into Facebook on a particular day. It's the same sort of thing you already see littering your News Feed day in, day out.
On This Day was a mildly interesting gimmick back when it originally debuted — and when it was a transparent rip-off of Timehop. But nowadays, it's yet another annoying post clogging up the Facebook News Feed.
If you find it a meaningful reminder of past events — and some of you must, as the service had several million active users at last count — then good for you. But I find it one of the most pointless of the site's many extraneous features — and I doubt it'll actually be much good to anyone.
First, given all the turmoil Facebook has been through since March, maybe it's not the best idea to keep reminding us how much data the company has on us which it can produce at a moment's notice.
Second, it's one of Facebook's most shallow features — and it's only going to become more so once it becomes Memories. Usually, the stuff Facebook chooses to show you isn't necessarily the most meaningful or important. Often, its the stuff which has the most likes or reactions. Sometimes it's stuff you'd rather not relive — I found that out when Facebook fed me back a picture of my deceased mother.
And while having a Friend Made On This Day feature sounds rather pleasant, Facebook already has those Friendaversary cards that show up in our News Feeds sporadically, making that particular perk redundant.
Overall, it sounds like Facebook is devoting resources to add depth to a feature that doesn't feel worth the effort. In its form now, On This Day is doing as much as it needs to do. Now all I can think about is how many more of these memories I'm going to have to opt out of on my front page.

Q: XML select sing node and loop through it I'm having some issues looping through an XML node.
To begin, here is the general format of the XML file:
<Config>
  <Facilities>
    <Facility>
      <ID>1</ID>
      <Name>Facility Name</Name>
      <Profiles>
        <Profile>
            <Name>Value</Name>
            <Item2>Value</2>
        </Profile>
        <Profile>
            <Name>Another Value</Name>
        </Profile>
      </Profiles>
    </Facility>
    <Facility>
      <ID>2</ID>
      <Name>Facility Name</Name>
      <Profiles>
        <Profile>
            <Name>Value</Name>
        </Profile>
      </Profiles>
    </Facility>
  </Facilities>
</Config>

And here's the code I'm using:
XmlDocument configFile = new XmlDocument();
configFile.Load(CONFIG_FILE);

XmlNodeList nodeList = configFile.SelectNodes("/Config/Facilities/Facility[ID[text()='" + facilityID + "']]/Profiles/Profile");
foreach (XmlNode no in nodeList)
{
    Console.WriteLine(no["Name"].InnerText);
    //myList.Items.Add(no["Name"].InnerText);
}

Basically, I want to loop through the facilities and select the facility with a specific ID (this id is derived from the facilityID that I set earlier in my code...and yes I've checked, it's being set correctly). I then want to go through the profiles associated with the facility and loop through them. I want to be able to take all the elements in each <Profile> as applicable.
However, when I execute this code, it's not returning anything in the debug console.

A: You mean something like this? This is using the XElement class, of course. I tend to prefer it because it's easier to debug and, at least for me, easier to deploy.
var root = XElement.Load(CONFIG_FILE).Element("Facilities");

var facility = root.Elements("Facility").FirstOrDefault(c => c.Element("ID").Value == facilityID.ToString());

return facility.Element("Profiles").Elements("Profile");

It doesn't have any error handling, but you can add that in as necessary.
I don't know if you want to do this or not, it depends how you'll be using it, but you could also replace the last line there with this:
return facility.Element("Profiles").Elements("Profile").Select(c => c.Element("Name").Value);

And that would give you just the names. Again, depends on what exactly you're looking for. I just added this since I see your example is only printing out the names.

A: I'm not sure if this is exists in your file, but there appears to be XML errors in the example posted.
<Item2>Value</2>

If I remove that, I'm able to correctly see the value expected. For example, if I use a value of "1" for facilityID, I receive
Value
Another Value

Tangiers Petroleum (LSE:TPET) is a dual listed oil and gas exploration (ASX:TPT) company. Tangiers listed on the AIM market in early 2012, but has since seen its share price eroded from circa 37.5p to the current price of 22.88p having made a low at around 19p. Tangiers has a market capitalisation of £26.40m and 115m shares in issue.
Investors who purchased shares in Tangiers soon after the London initial public offering certainly will not be best pleased with the share price down around 40%. Whilst most details are shown on the chart, it looks poised to break the downtrend that it has suffered since the IPO. This could potentially lead to a recovery back towards 30p/share in the short term should market conditions allow.
It is also interesting to see the structure of shareholders. Whilst the information provided by the company is only valid as of the start of 2012, it highlights the dense institutional background with regards to share ownership The lack of any holdings RNS' also proves that the major institutions have not reduced their holding below the 3% threshold. As per the company's website, the top 20 Tangiers institutional shareholders hold approximately 37% of shares. Additionally, this is likely to have increased as share placements have been undertaken. Despite this, the high proportion of shares owned by institutions and the relatively few shares in issue compared to other firms means that the shares are fairly illiquid.
Tangiers holds assets in two locations; Morocco and Australia, both of which are very prospective. Within these two areas more than 13 prospects and 20 leads have been delienated. The resources that have been assigned to each license are huge as a combined figure, but Morocco far outweighs Australia in terms of prospectivity. A recent CPR survey has led to a staggering 5 billion barrels of oil figure for the Moroccan license as the top boundary and 200 million barrels of oil in Australia plus multi-TCF potential. The company is currently lining up an 'active exploration program' with 2 seismic surveys planned and 4 wells. The potential of this has been viewed by another dual listed company Range Resources (LSE:RRL) as a good investment opportunity thus Range had a ~4.85% stake in Tangiers that they took in September 2011 (which has since been cut down).
In Morocco Tangiers operates in the Tarfaya license where it has a 75% interest, the other 25% being owned by the state owned oil and gas company (OHNYM). OHNYM are free-carried through the exploration phase thus they do not pay. Morocco is a fairly stable working environment for the hydrocarbon industry with attractive fiscal terms and political stability that is not shared by more eastern countries north of the Sahara. Morocco relies heavily on oil and gas imports thus the idea of become more self-reliant is welcomed by government officials. As noted by Tangiers, only 36 offshore wells have been drilled in Morocco, with less than a quarter being drilled in the 21st century. However, the area is now becoming gradually more active with a recent farm-in announced for the license directly next to Tangiers. The farm in was completed by Genel Energy (Tony Hayward has a major role in this company) with Serica Energy (LSE:SQZ) and San Leon Energy (LSE:SLE) having a reduced stake. Oil majors such as north American firm Anadarko also operate in the immediate licenses.
One of the examples of Morocco being a good exploratory environment is for each discovery made by a firm, the company receives a 10 year 'holiday' where they are effectively free of paying corporation tax. Ultimately this means that many firms that can operate here will not being paying coroporation tax for decades on end as long as the legislation exists. Of course, as activity grows this deal will eventually be scrapped or tampered down. Royalties are also given for oil and gas. Through past wells, oil has already being established in the region with oil stains present with an API of 38.5 degrees.
As noted earlier, Tangiers has potentially 5 billion barrels of recoverable oil in the region with as much as 12 billion barrels is classified as oil in place. On a more realistic level, the P50 (50% chance of likelihood) figure stands at 867 million barrels of recoverable oil, which is still substantial (75% of which is net to Tangiers). The only negative to these leads is that the depths that the wells need to be drilled to (generally 3000m+) means that multi-million drilling costs are incurred. The clear way forward for Tangiers is to acquire a partner on attractive terms. Positively multiple 2D and 3D seismic surveys have already been undertaken which should reduce the risk of failure.
Tangiers' Australian targets are impressive also. Tangiers has 90% working interests in WA-442-P and NT/P81 exploration permits and 100% stakes in the NT/P83 and ATP-587 permits. These large working interests once again means that Tangiers would benefit massively from farming down its interests to a more suitable stake.
Within these licenses numerous prospects are present. One of these, 'the Nova prospect', has an unrisked gas in place figure of 6.93TCF and a risked resource of 3.46TCF. The Nova prospect is located in the WA-442-P license. Using figures from Cove Energy's takeover, 3.46TCF values the prospect potentially at £791m of which £712m would be net to Tangiers. Of course, Tangiers is likely to farm this down thus assuming they keep a 30% stake this still values the single prospect alone at £237m. This is almost ten times higher than the current share price for one prospect alone. The 'Supernova' lead is also expected to have similar probabilistic gas in place figures as Nova. A further lead, the 'Milligans fan oil play' also has potential for up to 505 million barrels of oil of which 218 million is the mean value.
Looking ahead, Tangiers will be farming out both licenses with Morocco being the first. Further to Genel's farm in, oil major Cairn Energy (LSE:CNE) also farmed into another San Leon and Serica block in late August. Interest in the area is certainly growing as is interest in East Africa. Attractive terms have been given out to San Leon and Serica with small lump sums, but considerable cash commitments to the drilling of future wells hence reducing the costs of the partners. Moreover, Tarfaya is larger than both of the San Leon and Serica licenses so should be the focus of hydrocarbon majors looking to enter the region. Without little doubt the finalising of this farm out will act as a share price catalyst going forward.
Looking briefly at this years news statements, the company is gearing up for an eye-catching 2013 operating program. Just prior to Tangiers listing on the AIM on February 3, Tangiers raised approximately £4.06m via a placement to fund further work at each location. A point that it always interesting is how firms listed on the ASX are suspended pending news announcements thus it is easy to purchase shares on the LSE in anticipation of such an announcement. On April 3, a CPR (Competents Person Report) was released for the Milligans oil play which included the figures addressed earlier in the article.
A further quarterly cashflow and operations update was then revealed in late July with updates across all operations. However, between these two announcements no significant news was released. perhaps this was the reason why the share price drifted substantially between them. In early August a further placement for £540,000 was made through a private placement.
A week later Tangiers was awarded a further license (NT/P83) as outlined earlier. Executive chairman Mark Ceglinski said: "The grant of NT/P83 is a exciting step in furthering the Company's strategy to expand its exploration portfolio and leveraging the Company's technical expertise to identify potential leads and plays in areas believed to be highly prospective for hydrocarbons. NT/P83 is an excellent complement to the company's existing Moroccan and Australian acreage."
In September another small placement was undertaken for £641,000 to help fund forward operations. The reason why this negatively affected the share price was due to the level it was set at - 18p/share. Clearly financing the project has proved to be a problem for Tangiers, however once the farm outs are achieved, there should be little problem for Tangiers in some of its licenses. Depending on the terms they may also be able to utilise potential funds to progress licenses that are not farmed out. In late September Tangiers then raised £3.71m to 'launch [the] growth strategy'. This should keep Tangiers adequately funded through the rest of the farmout.
Evidently Tangiers has tremendous potential in creating share price appreciation through farming out its assets and drilling exploratory wells to prove up resources. The assets appear top class in size and potential, but of course these will need to be proved and drilled successfully. The potential resources at Tangiers far exceed the current price, but of course that is the catch - they are potential. However, Tangiers certainly looks to have been ignored since its London listing and it looks a very good company with solid assets. This is reflected in broker Old Park Lane's target price of 150p/share. Aside from the 2012 upside, going into 2013 Tangiers offers investors a high risk, very high reward choice.
I own shares in TPET and it has excellent prospects.
Haven't been active for a while so the best news here is that ASX are suspended around time of expected news. Anyone who has held joint lse/asx shares will know whatI mean. Those Oz dingbats are crazy for shorting and dumping, worse than TSX.
Trouble with these 'jam tomorrow' shares is 'dilution, dilution, dilution as one fund raising follows another unless they are lucky enough to bag a strong partner. I would think here that bottom has not yet been called if POO slips back it is market sentiment which dictates not fundamentals - be prepared for a slow ride which could be bumpy.


If you know anime, you know Tokyo Ghoul… and probably love it. To call it a fan favorite is a little bit of an understatement. For quite some time we've been hearing of the live action adaptation, and now we've finally got a trailer for the film, subbed and all!
The flick looks awesome, so keep an eye out. We're not certain of when the movie will land here stateside, but it has already been released in Japan, so a jump to America could come sooner than some anticipate.

Catskill CENTERpieces: Art, Education and Restoration in Hurleyville
Upstater | February 22, 2012
We stumbled across this site some time ago, during our continual search for information on restoring bungalow colonies in Sullivan County.
Artists Julie Courtney and Jennie Shanker were also interested in the plight of these old places, but rather than renovate bungalows, they decided to make sculpture out of them. The result is CENTERpieces, a collaboration between the artists, acting as curators, and the Hurleyville-based Center for Discovery, a nonprofit that provides educational, environmental and creative arts services for children and adults with disabilities.
The buildings on and adjacent to the Center's land were beyond saving, but by reinventing them as installation art, Shanker and Courtney could help this struggling community to become an arts destination. "Hurleyville is in this cultural path of DIA:Beacon and Storm King, and we thought we could do some smaller scale version of those," they told Upstater.
So a pair of identical 20-foot-high geodesic domes are now the setting for a camera obscura installation by the artist Richard Torchia, called The Harris Observatory. And the bungalows will eventually be altered and reconfigured by the architect and artist Allan Wexler.
The opening for the Harris Observatory is Saturday, February 25th. The installation will be open to visitors by appointment from February 18 through March 3.

I was blown away by this amazing review written by Good Reads with Ronna for LA Parent Magazine and Parenthood. Go ahead and read it, then tell me you're not intrigued. Dare ya. In Adventures With Kazmir The Flying Camel: The Five Skies by Gina L. Vivona, readers will find enough amazing exploits to keep them turning the 121 pages and will be sad to say good-bye to the well-developed characters at the story's end. And while I do not usually review self-published titles, I am so glad I agreed to read Vivona's book because it was so original, entertaining and imaginative. Don't forget, too, to visit the fabulous website with a sample chapter, fun stuff to do, a parent's page and more! If you purchase the audiobook you will also be treated to a narration by three-time Emmy Award-winner Bryan Cranston along with wonderful, mood setting music that will transport you instantaneously to a magical land where anything can happen.
The story: involving a camel, a kidnapped prince and his power-crazed evil uncle promises action, adventure and even danger for an archaeologist's daughter, Michael-Ann on a dig with her dad, in Egypt. Without giving away too much, I can tell you this fun fantasy takes place not only in ancient and present day Egypt, but in five unique settings known as the Five Skies. I will also share that the kidnapped prince is being held in a no man's land only reached by collecting and piecing together five fragments of a shattered mirror. Each part of the mirror can be found in one of the Five Skies, but reaching these remote places proves more than a challenge for 12-year-old Michael-Ann and Kazmir who have taken on the daunting, perilous task of rescuing the prince. Vivona has woven a wonderful tale for pre-teens full of fluffy clouds (Rain Masters), gigantic spiders (Wish Weavers), Optionators and unimaginably inventive locales that beg to be revisited over and over because of just how amazing they are.
By the time the book ends, Michael-Ann will have experienced such a multitude of emotions and escapades that returning to the dig will certainly open her eyes to the richness of life and love with which she is blessed.
The best part: Adventures With Kazmir The Flying Camel is available as an Audiobook, MP3, paperback, Kindle, and eBook. For more information, visit www.KazmirTheFlyingCamel.com. Proceeds benefit the Down Syndrome Association of Los Angeles.

The Continental Colors Flag
Although unofficial, the is considered to be the first American flag. It was used from 1775-1777, preceding the Betsy Ross flag Betsy Ross flag and aiding in its design. The Continental Colors includes a field of 13 alternating red and white stripes with a British Union Jack in the canton.
Records show that Philadelphia seamstress Margaret Manny sewed the first Continental Colors for the Alfred, and in December of 1775, the flag was raised for the first time on any fighting vessel. A year later, the flag was considered the official flag of the American naval forces by the Maritime Committee of the Continental Congress.
On New Year's Day in 1776, George Washington ordered the Continental Colors to be raised on Prospect Hill in Somerville, Massachusetts in celebration of the birth of the Continental Army. Although many flags protesting British rule were in existence at that time, including those with icons of snakes, pine trees and the word "liberty", Washington choose to use the Continental Colors. It was hoisted on a 76 foot flagpole and could be seen all the way in Boston. Washington referred to the flag as the "Union Flag in Compliment to the United Colonies." It was also known as the Grand Union flag, the Union flag, the Continental flag, the Somerville flag and the Great Union.
The flag's designer is unknown, but it is speculated that Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Lynch and Benjamin Harrison were responsible. They were appointed by Continental Congress to advise George Washington in creating the Continental Army in 1775. It is also possible that Washington himself or one of his staff members designed the flag.
On the other side of the world the East India Company had used a strikingly similar flag since 1701. The flag contained between nine and 13 red and white stripes with a red Cross of St. George on a white field in the canton. Most flag experts dismiss the similarity, calling it coincidence since there is no record that the East India Company flag flew in American waters and few colonists were familiar with it.
While the Continental Colors is symbolic, the exact meaning of its design is uncertain. It is generally believed that the stripes, like those of the Betsy Ross flag, represent the 13 colonies, while the Union Jack in the canton was meant to show colonial loyalty to the crown or to traditional British values and laws. Since the flag was supposed to express the colonies' desire for independence from Britain, the use of the Union Jack seems slightly contradictory and would prove to be a mistake. When British troops noticed the Continental Colors in Boston, they interpreted the use of the Union Jack as a sign of surrender.
By June 14 1777, the Continental Colors was replaced by the first Stars and Stripes. The canton was changed from the British Union Jack to a blue field with thirteen white stars, representing a "new constellation" and America's new found independence.

Sumitomo to realign, change Falken name
Tire Business Report
Richard Smallwood, Falken Tire President and CEO
RANCHO CUCAMONGA, Calif.—As a result of the dissolution of the alliance between Sumitomo Rubber Industries Ltd. and Goodyear, SRI's North America business units will be realigned as part of the firm's strategy to strengthen its competitive position in the country.
Effective Jan. 1, SRI subsidiary Falken Tire Corp. will change its name to Sumitomo Rubber North America Inc., marking the first step of this realignment.
In addition, SRI's Goodyear Dunlop Tire North America Ltd. unit will change its name to Sumitomo Rubber USA L.L.C. by the end of March.
At the same time, responsibility for sales of Dunlop-brand light vehicle tires to Japanese original equipment manufacturers and sales of Dunlop motorcycle tires will transfer from SRUSA to SRNA, the company said.
"We now have local manufacturing, test facilities and enhanced technical capabilities, all of which will help us better meet our customers' needs."
Under its updated corporate structure, SRNA will operate three separate sales divisions:
c Dunlop Motorcycle Tire, in Tonawanda, N.Y., will be responsible for Dunlop motorcycle sales to OE and replacement markets;
c Falken Tire, located in Rancho Cucamonga, will be responsible for replacement sales of Falken-, Ohtsu- and private-branded products for light vehicle and commercial markets; and
c SRNA OE sales, based in Detroit, will be responsible for Dunlop-brand light vehicle tires for Japanese OEMs and Falken-brand OE sales for all North America OE customers.
SRNA will provide centralized administrative and logistics support to all three divisions, the company added. SRNA will take over sales and distribution responsibility for the Caribbean and Mexico—a transition expected to take place during the first quarter of 2016.
Under the new structure, Richard Smallwood, CEO and president of Falken Tire, will remain as president and CEO of SRNA.
"The dissolution of the alliance between SRI and Goodyear will provide us the opportunity to quickly and dramatically enhance our service levels to our customers in North America," GDTNA Chairman and CEO Kenji Onga said.

Q: Get prayer time JSON data using JQUERY and Ajax I want to READ JSON data using Jquery ana Ajax from this link
http://praytime.info/getprayertimes.php?lat=31.950001&lon=35.9333&gmt=180&m=3&y=2013&school=0&format=json&callback=?
and this is my code:
 $(document).ready(function() {

 var strUser ="http://praytime.info/getprayertimes.php?lat=31.950001&lon=35.9333&gmt=180&m=3&y=2013&school=0&format=json&callback=?";

        jQuery.each(data, function(){
           alert("yes");

       });
    }

  });

 });

I tried this code with other links , and it's correct, but from the specified link I don't get any out put, can you help me??

A: URL is outputting json but for cross domain need jsonp.
Not all API's provide jsonp. If cross domain API doesn't provide jsonp and isn't CORS enabled you will need to use a proxy to retrieve data due to same origin policy

A: The url you are trying to access with JSONP doesnot support it. The server will need to return the response as JSON, but also wrap the response in the requested call back. So a way to solve this problem is using a server side proxy, which fetches the response from the specified url and passes it on to your client side js, like:
$.ajax({
  type: "GET",
  url: url_to_yourserverside_proxy,
  dataType: "json",
  success: function( data ) {
      console.log(data);
  }
});

where
url_to_yourserverside_proxy is a server side file that fetches response from the url specified


I was working long hours during the last half of February and the Blog was at the bottom of my to-do list, so everything kind of petered out after the middle of the month. Sorry about that.
"What part does creativity play for you as an L&D/OD professional, and where do you seek your creative inspiration? "
The business world loves the idea of creativity, at least in theory. If their employees produce useful ideas about new products or new ways of working, they might give the business a commercial advantage. Better yet, they might make lots of money. But in my experience, businesses are less keen on the chaotic, messy process of creation itself. It's not guaranteed to produce results; the results you get might not be what you wanted; the creative sparks may fail to catch light. And it may not produce any noticeable results over periods of time that tend to make managers uncomfortable.
"the literature of creativity (is) a genre of surpassing banality."
The truth of the matter, Frank argues, is that genuinely creative people have never been less valued by society. The fruits of an artist's labours have seldom been worth less. The music industry is dead on its feet, as Spotify and other streaming services steal its income out from under its noses; publishing is going the same way, with the vast majority of published authors having to take part- or full-time jobs just to finance the limited time they are able to spend creating their stories. The art world has drifted off into a different dimension of reality altogether; can you name one fine artist who has emerged in the last five years? In this millennium, even?
The act of creation is the act of bringing something into being. The personal quality of being "creative" has accumulated additional context that is synonymous with originality; people who are skilled at synthesis (cognitively speaking, the ability to combine separate and distinct but existing ideas into something new) are considered to be just as creative as those who can pull something completely new out of nothing. I've yet to decide whether the argument that all creation is synthesis—that there is no such thing as true originality—holds water, and I've been thinking about this sort of thing for a long, long time.
In Friday's discussion I felt occasionally that there was confusion between being creative and being good at design. I'm pretty sure that the two are not the same thing. You can have a great idea for something new that is clunky or unwieldy in its first iteration. It doesn't matter if it's a song or a car engine or a chair; the process of design comes in to play when you then take what has been created and test and refine it. That process of refining things may take place by applying formal rules to the initial creation. The point is that the original creative act doesn't have to follow those rules.
To return to why creativity is spoken about reverentially by business leaders but hated as a practice within their companies, we have to look at the timescales over which creativity operates. Put simply: it happens when it happens. Your Muse is not on the clock. You can not put an appointment in your diary for next Tuesday to have that earth-shattering idea that is going to change the world and make you (or, more realistically, your CEO) rich.
That's not to say that you can't learn to be more creative. It's just that the way to do it is seldom explained in a context that makes it appealing. Frank's essay falls apart in the second-to-last paragraph when he attempts to define creativity as achieving professional consensus, which sounds like the sort of thing anyone could do. He equates (and confuses) the creative act with Czikszentmihalyi's concept of Flow, which is about deploying one's skills in a context that is sufficiently challenging to take up most of our brains' limited resources (which results in us not being able to worry about anything else or keep track of time). True creativity begins instead, I believe, with ideation which, according to Daniel Kahneman in his excellent book Thinking, Fast and Slow, requires us to switch off, let our brains drift, and daydream—exactly the opposite approach to Czikszentmihalyi. More to the point, letting its employees spend time in that sort of state is anathema to a business that's focused on productivity and enhancing its bottom line. Forget the benefits; the short-term requirements prevent it happening. Let your workers just sit around thinking? How outrageous!
"Don't sit around waiting for inspiration. Go after it with a club."
Get out there, doing stuff. And stick at it. You will start to surprise yourself.
You don't need to do buy a book or watch a video.
Tomorrow evening at 10 pm GMT / 11 pm CET I will be the special guest on Juha and T.C.'s FAWM podcast FAWMtalk, which will be streaming live on Juha's YouTube channel. We'll be playing songs by other FAWM participants and talking about making and listening to music, what our creative processes are, and no doubt there will be discussions of progressive rock, metal, and other musical genres that we're familiar—or not so familiar— with. Why not join us online? It'll be fun!
FAWM is a community; the part that I really enjoy is listening to other FAWMers' tracks and discovering what they've been doing. There are some truly incredible musicians taking part. It's a shame that the music industry is on its last legs; there are at least a dozen songwriters posting stuff who would have been snapped up by record labels thirty years ago.
So today's blog entry is short and sweet. I'm off upstairs to go and push my commenting count past the hundred mark and then write some more music. It's all about the priorities!
It was a very busy few days, and I didn't really get much time to see the sights. It wasn't really beach weather, either; the temperature stayed in single figures and there was a spectacular thunderstorm on Friday night. The hotel had drained its outdoor swimming pools as we were very definitely there out of season, which I found particularly irritating, because this year I had actually remembered to pack a pair of swimming trunks.
I flew back into Gatwick on Sunday night; Gatwick is now officially my least favourite airport. The immigration staff were surly and sarky to arriving passengers and it all felt rather too much like something out of Little Britain. I was glad to get back in the car and leave the place firmly in my rear-view mirror.
As a result of being away, my annual songwriting adventure over at fawm.org was delayed, but I successfully got things under way last night with a blues shuffle called, somewhat predictably, Making Up For Lost Ground.
Being me, I didn't take the easy option. The song has two rhythm guitar tracks played on my G&L S-500, a slide guitar track using my old Fender Telecaster, two vocal tracks, Superior Drummer 3 drums, electric bass (played on the Ibanez RG9-BK) and a synth break using Native Instruments' Massive that seems to have achieved its objective of making people sit up and pay attention. I had huge fun making it; February really has become the high point of my year.


A very quick post today just to show the A1X in Southern Olive livery, one of 3 Southern Railway liveries we have planned. All of the options shown previously are available for this version of the A1X but we've chosen to show it in it's familiar Isle of Wight set up.
As with a majority of liveries will also come on the A1 variant.
More liveries next week. We also hope to share some news soon on how all of these Terriers are going to be published.
When will the terrier be released onto steam and what routes are required for them?
We hope to announce the details of how, when and where we will be publishing in the next couple of weeks.
I've always loved the Southern's green livery :). Am I right to think one of the other two are a black freight livery?

Richard & Colleen's Excellent Adventure
On December 16, 2018 December 16, 2018 By rcexcellentadventure
Our first day trip in Egypt was to the ancient city of Alexandria. This was a 3 hour bus trip from Cairo through much traffic and extreme fog. Though it does not even come close to Delhi standards of traffic, there is definitely more vehicles on the road than Muscat. Through the fog I could get the occasional glimpse of the landscape that we were passing by. Most was buildings and construction but then evidence of the Nile delta came into view. Crops of oranges and tomatoes, vineyards of grapes and olives, fields of sugar cane revealed a sharp contrast to the sand colored soil. We passed by pickup trucks and horse drawn carts laden with this wonderful looking produce heading into Alexandria markets. By 10:00 we reached the city. From a distance it looked massive, stretching for miles along the Mediterranean. In actual fact, it stretches 100 kms along the sea and is the second largest city in Egypt after Cairo with 5.2 million people. Alexander the Great, a Macedonian by birth, conquered all of Greece, then crossed the Mediterranean to Egypt and built the city of Alexandria around 331 BC. The city has been a major trading port ever since.
We drove through a few narrow streets to our first stop – Kom al-Shoqafa – The Catacombs. Though only discovered in 1902 when a donkey accidentally fell into the access shaft, they actually date back as early as the second century AD. We descended underground via a circular staircase which opened into a number of tomb rooms. A high ranking official usually had a room of his own whereas people of less importance had to share their room with many others. All the mummified bodies from these burial chambers have now been removed and placed in various museums around the country.
We travelled further into the city to Pompey's Pillar, a Roman triumphal column and the largest of its type constructed outside the imperial capitals of Rome and Constantinople. This is also the sight of one of the ancient libraries. Unfortunately, all evidence of the library is now gone but the excavation site has a number of hieroglyphics stones from as early as Ramses II.
Our last stop before lunch was the Qaitbay Citadel, a 14th century fortress built along the sea for protection from enemy forces. With a mosque as the centre showpiece, the lookout ports are high above on the fort walls. It is majestic and the clear blue water of the Mediterranean frame the structure perfectly.
Lunch was local fish served in its entirety. I know that you all will find this hard to believe but I opted for the chicken. Richard had the fish and said that it was just fine. Maybe I'll be braver next time. LOL
Our last stop of the day was the Alexandria Public Library. Now you wouldn't think that a library would be a tourist attraction but it is a world renowned library and it was pretty amazing. What also makes this library special is that the original one was built by Ptolemy who was a general of Alexander the Great and became the ruler of Egypt upon Alexander's death. The Library became the center of knowledge for the ancient world but was unfortunately destroyed completely when Julius Caesar and Pompey were fighting it out for control of the Roman Empire. As the library burnt to the ground all the accumulated knowledge from the known world at that time was lost to antiquity. It was decided to rebuild the library in 1995 and governments, businesses and philanthropists from around the world answered the call to help out. The tour guide rattled off many statistics but if you are truly interested you can check them out on their website www.bibalex.org. We spent an hour or so there wandering through the archives, artifacts and books. Not nearly enough time!!
We headed back to Cairo and the trip seemed to take much less time than the outbound journey. We had a meeting with our tour guide in the evening where he explained the rest of the tour and got us pumped up to see the pyramids. Can't wait!!
Unfortunately we were not allowed to take pictures inside the catacombs, so you will just have to take our word we were there.

Ray Conlogue
The Globe and Mail, Toronto
A remarkable artist
This solo performance is delightfully crammed with an array of characters, some representing actual people, some recalled from plays by Anton Chekhov and Noel Coward, all of them real to the writer/performer Elizabeth Richardson who renders them with wit and sensitivity and fashions a fascinating tapestry from various strands of her experiences as daughter, actor, Buddhist. (…)The exquisite simplicity of the staging, using only an elegant straight-backed chair and a small, upholstered low stool, on an island of gold-coloured carpet, enhances the radiance of Richardson's performance and the subtle, cumulative coherence of her narrative.

Read more testimonials about Going On
Elizabeth Richardson is in my opinion one of the most talented actresses to come out of the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (LAMDA) in the past five years. Elizabeth's power and command on stage is really quite rare in one so comparatively young. Her response to direction is that unique mixture of thoughtfulness and instinct translated into action. Her musical ability is also remarkable, an acute ear plus an extremely fine singing voice.
A reference of this sort tends to be a chapter of obvious abilities. But Elizabeth's real talent is her character quality and spirit.
International award winning film and theatre actor
CBC, TV Drama
Elizabeth Richardson is an experienced actress of great versatility. I have known her for over fifteen years, and I feel she is, without doubt, one of Canada's major acting talents. Her work for the CBC in Canada and for Masterpiece Theatre in England has been exceptional and the focus of international attention. It is with great pleasure that I recommend her to you.

24.3 Pre-school children frequently seen but seldom heard in nursing care.
Pre-school children frequently seen but seldom heard in nursing care.
Watson, P. B. (2008). Pre-school children frequently seen but seldom heard in nursing care. Nursing Praxis in New Zealand, 24(3), 41-48.
A significant number of users of nursing services are pre-school children, and have a right to be heard in matters affecting their health. Despite nurses' duty to seek and take seriously the views of children in matters concerning children's health, children are rarely directly consulted as consumers of health care. Thus, children's voices are largely unheard in nursing practice. Furthermore, research about children's experience of illness generally excludes preschool children. Therefore, preschool children's voices are also mostly unheard in nursing research about the experience of being ill. Consequently, there is little evidence from nursing practice or research to show the potential benefits of ensuring these voices are heard. This line of reasoning forms the basis of recommending the need for research that seeks to understand how preschool children experience being ill and how they communicate those experiences to others.
Key Words: Preschool children, children's voices, paediatric nursing.
The importance of hearing children's voices in health care is evident in the following example from my experience as a registered nurse caring for a primary school aged child admitted for elective surgery. While completing a routine preoperative checklist with a child (approximately 8-years-old) and his mother, I asked the mother whether the child was allergic to anything. The mother said "no", but the child interrupted saying something like "what about at the party when I was blowing up the balloon?" The mother shrugged of f the child's comment as not important. However, I asked the child to tell me more, and he mentioned having tingly lips after blowing up a balloon. I explained to the mother and the child the possible significance of the tingly lips as a sign of an allergy to latex. The anaesthetist was informed; precautions against exposure to latex were taken during the operation and the remainder of the child's stay in hospital. Subsequent testing confirmed the child had a latex allergy. This incident highlights the potential benefits of ensuring children's voices are heard and given due weight in their health care. Preschool children (being those less than five years of age), rather than school aged children, are the group of children seen the most by nurses in primary, secondary, and tertiary health care settings (Ministry of Health, 2008). Despite this fact …….cont.

Frederick E. Harris and Frederick D. Wheelock were cousins once removed. Their most common ancestor was Artimus Wheelock 1801-1871. They mustered into the 33rd Michigan Volunteer Infantry company H at Island Lake, Michigan, between 13-20, May, 1898.
Company H, 33rd Michigan Volunteer Infantry. Unfortunately the names of the pictured individuals were not recorded but we can assume both Freds are in this picture.

44 officers and 978 enlisted men joined the 33rd Michigan Infantry. Both Freds were assigned to Company H. They left Island Lake May 28, 1898. They arrived at Camp Alger, Virginia, May 31, 1898.
They left Camp Alger June 22, 1898; arrived at Newport News, Virginia, June 23, 1898. They then sailed from Newport News the same day and arrived at Siboney, Cuba, June 27, 1898.

The Battle of the Aguadores.
They fought in the Battle of the Aguadores July 1, 1898.
The skirmish on the banks of the Aguadores River was meant as a distraction for the attacks that would take place later that day at San Juan Hill and El Caney. The 33rd Michigan had to take a train to within one mile of the river. Both battalions couldn't fit in the train at the same time so it had to be done in two trips giving the Spanish plenty of warning of the attack to come.
The attack began at 9:00am. The 33rd fought with small arms as shells sailed over their heads from naval bombardment. Given that the Spanish had plenty of time to dig in the naval attack had little affect and the Americans were being overpowered. They were under attack from directed artillery fire and, while the Spanish could maintain their concealment due to their use of modern Mauser rifles that used smokeless powder the Americans signaled their position every time they risked a shot.
At 1:30pm the Americans could not advance and they needed to resupply so the order was given to break off the attack. The Secretary of the Army would declare the battle a success claiming that the distraction worked but, there were differing opinions.

The Battles of San Juan Hill and El Carney were a success. The Americans captured the Spanish positions at both locations. On July 3, 1898, the siege of Santiago began. Company H of the Michigan 33rd was part of this. The generals figured an assault would bring massive casualties so the Americans dug in and stopped the flow of food and water into the city.
On July 4th there was a cease fire that allowed the evacuation of around 20,000 civilians. This also helped the Americans as they were able to bring in heavy weapons to support the operation. In the days that followed the Spanish took heavy casualties from Gatling guns, mortars and field artillery. On July 13th meetings began to discuss the terms of surrender. The Spanish would eventually agree to the term capitulation. The United States flag was raised over the fort at Santiago on July 17th. This picture misidentifies the date as the 13th.
Picture from "Harper's pictorial history of the war with Spain" Volume II, Harper & brothers, New York, 1899. Page 412.
While the Spanish-American war was not over, the fall of Santiago effectively ended land war in Cuba.
On August 21, 1898 Company H sailed from Santiago on steamship "Harvard". Originally it was a passenger liner the "City of New York" but, it was renamed after the college when it was put into service as a scout ship at the beginning of the war. Towards the end of the war it was used as a troop transport.
The schooner-rigged steamship arrived at Montauk Point, New York, August 26, 1898.
The 33rd left Montauk Point September 2, 1898 and, arrived at Detroit, Michigan, September 4, 1898 where they were furloughed for sixty days.
The Freds mustered out of service at Cheboygan, Michigan.
Michigan 33rd Infantry, Company H.
This roster of Company H lists Fred D. Wheelock as an atifcer, an archaic noun meaning a skilled mechanic in the armed forces and Frederick E. Harris as a private.

Abcarian: Prince Harry in "Spare" — privileged, tormented, unshackled from the royal family
As if being considered a "spare" child isn't insulting enough, here are some other ways Prince Harry describes his family's view of him in his new memoir: "The shadow." "The support." "A nullity."
He saves his venom, though, for the insatiable paparazzi who have made his entire life a hellish game of cat and mouse: They are, he writes, "like ants," "wild dogs," "a pack of monsters," "grotesque people," "clinically diagnosable sadists."
Given the tension between his subordinate status in the Windsor hierarchy, the family's emotional froideur, and the unhealthy symbiotic relationship between royals and media (which contributed to the tragic death of his mother, Princess Diana, when he was 12), it almost seems inevitable that Harry would make an existential break for it, especially after the hideous way the U.K. press treated Meghan Markle, the biracial American actress he'd brought into the family fold. ("Harry's girl," blared the Daily Mail, "is (almost) straight outta Compton.")
Opinion Columnist
Robin Abcarian
Although he couldn't have anything approaching a normal life and had suffered a grievous loss, his status meant he could try to salve his wounds in ways the rest of us couldn't.
He skips the line to become an Apache helicopter pilot, then has to be extracted from Afghanistan when the Taliban learns of his location. He treks to the North Pole and the South Pole with wounded warriors and gets a frostbitten penis along the way. He makes Botswana his home-away-from-home, finds a loving second "family" there and pops in when he needs to recharge. He takes an HIV test with Rihanna as a public service, runs a footrace with Usain Bolt in Jamaica. When he and Meghan are besieged, Elton John and Tyler Perry each offer their homes as refuges.
It seems like he can do anything he wants. He can't. His father controlled his purse strings and schedule, while the palace controlled his security.
By law, he was told, he needed the queen's permission to marry. And while his father approved of, or at least accepted, his union with Meghan, he could not seem to obtain the imprimatur of Willy, Prince William, his older brother and the future king, who is portrayed as alternately loving and antagonistic, supportive and imperious.
"He'd actually been pretty discouraging about my even dating Meg," writes Harry about William. "One day, sitting together in his garden, he'd predicted a host of difficulties I could expect if I hooked up with an 'American actress,' a phrase he always managed to make sound like 'convicted felon.' "
Of course, William was right; there were, and still are, a host of well-publicized difficulties. (Will they be invited to his father's coronation in May?)
Harry seems continually taken aback that his brother feels any sort of rivalry with him, as if William's higher status should make him immune from a universal family dynamic. He's surprised that William, forced to shave his beard to marry Kate, is outraged that Harry has received permission from "Granny" to keep his facial hair.
"You put her in an uncomfortable position, Harold," said William, using his nickname for Harry. "She had no choice but to say yes!"
Harry says William was also furious that his younger brother planned to expand his charitable work to a conservation issue William was passionate about. "I let you have veterans," says William. "Why can't you let me have African elephants and rhinos?"
We'll probably never hear the other side, at least not directly, because the royal family and its courtiers deal in anonymous leaks, planted stories and plausible denials as they struggle to look good while appearing above the fray.
Harry, it turns out, is the fray.
As he tells friends who were dismayed by his sit-down last year with Oprah Winfrey.
"I failed to see how speaking to Oprah was any different from what my family and their staffs, had done for decades — briefing press on the sly, planting stories. … We chose an interviewer who was above reproach. … We let people see the words coming out of our mouths."
"Spare" is not exactly the book it's been portrayed to be.
Yes, there's plenty of score-settling. But it's nuanced. His father may have been emotionally detached and consumed with his own once-thwarted love life, but he unfailingly calls his second son "darling boy," urges him to ignore bad press and is exceedingly kind to Harry after his famous gaffes — dressing as a Nazi, playing strip poker in Vegas, unwittingly using the racial slur "Paki." ("I thought it was like Aussie," writes a chagrined Harry. "Harmless.")
Harry says he is happy his father could finally be with the woman he loves, but accuses Camilla, now the queen consort, of doling out negative information about him to the press in exchange for kinder treatment of her own son.
Sister-in-law Kate, whom he adored, demanded an apology, he says, after Meghan made a light-hearted comment about "baby brain" to the post-partum duchess. ("We're not close enough for you to talk about my hormones!" Kate reportedly said.)
Ultimately, though, "Spare" is the story of a traumatized kid, trapped in a golden cage, who deeply loves and is deeply disappointed by his family, who liberates himself through grueling military service and good works, marriage, fatherhood and, ultimately, a relinquishment of royal life.
Oh, and therapy. Lots of therapy. And psychedelics. And meditation.
"Special thanks to my U.K. therapist for helping unravel years of unresolved trauma," he writes in the acknowledgements.
"Do you think I have an addictive personality?" he recounts asking her, after sharing tales of his drug and alcohol use, of which there has been plenty. No, she says, she does not think he's an addict. At least not a drug addict.
"If there was one thing to which I did seem undeniably addicted, however, it was the press," he writes. "Reading it, raging at it, she said, these were obvious compulsions."
You have to appreciate the self-awareness.
And not just Harry's.
After he tells Charles about anxiety and panic attacks that have worsened after his military service, Charles responds, "I supposed it's my fault. I should've got you the help you needed years ago."
Would things really have turned out differently if he had?

Dallasblack.com: Did 'RHoA' Producers Pressuring Cynthia Bailey to Bash Ex Peter Thomas?
Did 'RHoA' Producers Pressuring Cynthia Bailey to Bash Ex Peter Thomas?
Cynthia Bailey decides to air out a little of her dirty laundry concerning her divorce from Peter Thomas.
While speaking on a panel at the Sisters in Power event in Dallas, she revealed that she decided a long time ago not to let things get ugly in public, even though it was messy behind-the-scenes.
Cynthia and Peter's divorce was a topic of discussion on the current season of the Real Housewives of Atlanta. On the show, Cynthia showed the process of filing the papers and moving on. However, most divorces don't happen like that, especially when it comes to celebrities. Case and point, Cynthia's fellow cast member, Phaedra Parks, is going through one of the messiest divorces on television. She even received a divorce settlement, only for it to be repealed.
According to Cynthia, when she decided to divorce Peter, she went to the producers of the show and told them that she would not drag his name through the mood; nor would she embarrass either of them on the show. Cynthia does admit that things got very nasty between the two of them behind-the-scenes. Phone calls, text messages, and emails filled with vile language. But, Cynthia still pushed through and kept to her word.
Sometimes the producers of the show would even try to pressure her to bring a little more drama to her situation. They would tell her about things that Peter might be doing, but she did not care. One of the perfect times to strike back was after Peter went on a press tour about the divorces, particularly his appearance on The Wendy Williams Show. Peter isn't known for keeping his mouth shut.
Through it all, Cynthia is most proud that she was able to keep her divorce from becoming a "[expletive] show".


Corn Bible Academy was established by the Corn Mennonite Brethren Church in 1902 at Corn, Oklahoma, as a Bible and language school, under the name of "Washita Gemeinde Schule." From 1902 to 1906 it had a children's department and also a young people's department with separate instruction. Then until 1919 it was conducted only for young people with one instructor and a three-year course. In 1920 the curriculum was expanded and two teachers employed until 1934, when it was fully accredited with the state of Oklahoma and more instructors were added to the staff. Since that time the school experienced a normal but steady growth till by 1954 the school had six full-time instructors and one part-rime instructor. Each student was required to take a Bible subject each semester plus the four units of high-school work.
The new building (the third building since its founding) erected in 1945-1948 included a 300-seat auditorium, a 1,750-volume library, and a study hall. Building plans called for the erection of another wing, thus adding four more classrooms. The 95 students enrolled in 1954 came from the local church and the Mennonite Brethren churches of Oklahoma, Texas, and Kansas with J. W. Vogt as superintendent. The superintendents who served the school to the 1950s, with their lengths of service, have been: D. J. Klassen, 1902-1904; D. L. Schellenberg, 1904-1905; J. F. Duerksen, 1905-1911; D. F. Straus, 1916-1918; H. D. Wiebe, 1919-1937; L. S. Wiebe, 1937-1941; H. R. Wiens, 1941-1946; B. P. Pauls, 1946-1947; J. P. Kliewer, 1947-1948; Leo Goentzel, 1948-1949; and J. W. Vogt, 1949-mid-1950s. During the years 1911-1912 and 1918-1919 the school did not operate, the first time because of lack of funds, and the second time because of the World War I situation.
In 2007 Corn Bible Academy offered courses from grades 7-12. It described itself as an inter-denominational Christian school founded by the Mennonite Brethren Church. Its board of 10 members had four nominated from the membership of the Corn Mennonite Brethren Church, two members nominated from the Cordell Bible Mennonite Brethren Church, and four members nominated at-large by the board itself. Corn Bible Academy in 2007 had 25 faculty and staff, and an enrollment of 100 students.

Our nation's economy makes for some tough financial calls, especially for small businesses. While bankruptcy is a last-resort option, recognize that declaring bankruptcy is not always bad and does not have to ruin your business' financial future. In fact, for struggling business owners, bankruptcy can be an excellent strategy to clear debt and start back on the road to success.
Restaurants have faced hard times in our economy due to the tightening budgets of the recession. This puts restaurants at great risk for high debt rates and financial trouble. Even if businesses maintain a small profit, the margin is so tight that any spike in costs due to ingredients or repairs can put a company in deep debt very quickly. Filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy may be a good option for restaurant owners, as it can result in debt elimination and fiscal freedom.
• Continue operating your business. Filing for bankruptcy may result in the ability to continue operations. For many business owners, this is the greatest benefit as business assets are not lost.
• Increase cash flow. For sole proprietors, discharged debts often result in increased cash flow and a renewed ability to invest in business essentials.
• Eliminate personal unsecured debt. Another benefit to filing for chapter 7 bankruptcy is the elimination of unsecured debt. Discharged debt may include credit card balances, medical bills, and outstanding utility bills.
Always consult with a bankruptcy lawyer to determine the right course of action for your business. While Texas bankruptcy can help businesses get a fresh start, we know that not every company gets a second chance. Work with a skilled bankruptcy lawyer to complete the process efficiently. A clean financial slate may serve as a foundation for future company endeavors.

I hack and tap into surveillance cameras, public webcams, and CCTV feeds in pursuit of the "classical" picturesque landscape and the sublime. These images interrogate how surveillance technology has changed our relationship to—and understanding of—landscape and place in the current geopolitical climate. The resulting visual product becomes dislocated from its automated origins and leads to an investigation of land, of borders, and power.
This moment in history represents an important juncture when a thirty-year tradition continues to play a vital role, while the lives of these youth hang in the balance between imminent, broad social acceptance and historical, outright discrimination and oppression. These images are the result of a ten-year project photographing the Boston Alliance of Gay & Lesbian Youth (BAGLY) Prom. BAGLY provides a safe haven for youth who, even in these progressive times, are outsiders in their own youth culture and who may not yet have a foothold in adult gay culture.
Selecting work for the CENTER Awards has been both a challenge and an exciting process. In many respects the award shows something of where the camera is being pointed today, and has been a fabulous journey for me from Australia. Each of these series I have selected responds to an issue of current relevance: the personal cost of political repression in the winning series; the ubiquitous presence of surveillance, even of the uninhabited landscape, in the second place winner, and the surge of young people seeking recognition for their identity as the third place winner.
Damaging photographs on purpose is always dramatic, but often seems gratuitous. However in the splendid works that I have selected as the first place winning series, It's Hard to Kill, the drama is well founded, given the personal and political background of the series. The violence perpetrated on the photographs, through controlled and skilled burning functions as a surprisingly majestic and dynamic formal addition to each photograph. Burning misshapes the photographic paper, introducing random but miraculous effects of colour and pattern. The final photographs seem to catch the drama of destruction at different points, from an initial burning through to total destruction of the object. In some cases, the burnt section acts as a ghostly figurative addition to the historic scene. In this act of 'objectifying' the photograph, the artist weaves their personal significance with an ability to communicate the repression of his or her community to a wide audience.
No Man's Land: Views From a Surveillance State is a remarkable project, where surveillance footage, nefariously obtained, is re-presented for its traditional pictorial values, hearkening back to earlier modes of photography and the picturesque landscape. I have selected these curiously beautiful and enigmatic landscapes as my second place winner. The disjuncture between this origin and reference to landscape traditions becomes apparent and insightful on knowing the source of the images, namely surveillance footage. This series opens up many questions, not least of which what is the existential function of this material?
For the third place winner, the dignity with which portraits of young LGBTIQ people are taken, the respect of the photographer and the willingness of the subject to be open to the process is quite remarkable. Across the series, Hanging in the Balance, Portraits from the BAGLY Prom, each subject is represented in a unique manner, which I imagine arises through active participation by the sitter, in shaping the resulting work. Sometimes single, and sometimes in pairs, the logic of each image seems to arise from a unique individual. Uncommonly open to the viewer, this is a truly valuable collaboration between subject and photographer, in documenting an important time of life and declaration of identity.
