Q: Can changing the array length directly produce bugs? I have an app where the redux state has a field called data that's null initially, then when uploading something it changes to an array of objects and the reducer uses delete to remove an object when we press the required button. But that doesn't change the length of the array so it causes an uncaught error. The simplest solution would be to simply change the length of the array after we delete that object. Can this produce any bugs?
EDIT: This is the code:
case actions.RIR:
            const filtered = [...state.data];
            delete filtered[action.payload];
            filtered.length--; // this has been added by me
            return {...state, data: [...filtered]};

The original code isn't mine. It's part of a project. I've been asked to fix an error.

A: First one foremost, reducers should be pure - meaning - no side effects.
delete is a side effect since it mutates an original object.
In reducers, use immutable patterns - either use filter, or splice a copy of the original array (less recomended).
Besides that, delete will simply make this element undefined, and your array will look like:
['item 1','item 2'....,empty,'item n']
I would write it:
case actions.RIR:
            const filtered = state.data.filter(item => item !== action.payload);
            return {...state, data: filtered};

Or whatever filter logic you might require.


Decorating your childs room is so quick and easy using self adhesive wall stickers. Below are some simple instructions and idea's on how to apply our wall stickers.
If walls are freshly painted allow 1 to 2 weeks for the paint to cure.
Thoroughly clean walls of any dust where the Wall Decals will be applied with a dry towel or cloth.
Unroll the wall sticker product onto the floor, table or bed. Packages might get hot or cold during shipping so it might be necessary to let the wall decals / stickers get acclimated to room temperature for a few hours before application. This is because the vinyl will expand or contract during shipping and can cause the wall decals / stickers not to stick properly.
larger wall stickers 2ft or more, may require an extra set of hands.
Although all of the removable wall decal characters are individually cut out, the larger pieces are easier to apply and position if you cut them out individually with scissors.(backing and all) This way you can tape the wall stickers (with backing) to the wall to get an idea of were to place them before you remove the backing.
When peeling the sticker away from the backing, slowly peel from the largest part of the sticker first, being careful to peel "evenly" so the sticker does not form a kink in it.
The small wall stickers you simply press to the wall and rub your hand from the top of the sticker to the bottom. If you change your mind , slowly and evenly peel the sticker from the wall and reposition.
For larger wall stickers position the top part of the sticker to the wall and press slightly just enough to stick the top half to the wall. While still holding the other part of the sticker, check to see if straight and in the position you like. (this is where its nice to have some one to help) If the sticker is in the position you like rub your hand from the top of the sticker to the bottom or back , pressing with the palm of your hand hard enough where the sticker conforms to the wall. Then go over the edges pressing with your finger tips to secure any loose edges .
Although our Wall Decals / Stickers are recommended for smooth surfaces, they can be applied to textured surfaces with varying degrees of success.
Because there is less surface on texture walls for the sticker to stick to, sometimes a few edges of the wall stickers can curl up. Because the adhesive is pressure sensitive, it might be a simple matter of just pressing the edges that might have been missed during the intial application, a little harder to the wall. If they continue to curl you can apply a spray adhesive to the sticky side of the sticker. Spray into the plastic cap and use a small brush, then press and hold for a few seconds. Be careful not to get any on the print side of the wall stickers. You can find spray adhesives such as 3M's super 77 in the paint sections of your local hardware stores . There are different degrees of spray adhesive strengths so read the directions on the can carefully for compatibility to your wall surface and how to apply to the back of the wall stickers.
If you wish to store the stickers before application, just store in a cool dry place that is room temperature. We would recommend you first test a few of the smaller wall stickers to see if they will stick to your wall surface before storage.
Please don't apply wall stickers within reach of a small child or near their bed or crib as they may be a choking hazard.


On Saturday afternoon, an unfortunate incident involving Salford City's goalkeeper briefly focussed the otherwise Premier League-engaged attention of TV studio pundits and Twitter upon a hitherto unregarded Horsfall Stadium, home to National League North side Bradford Park Avenue.
Bradford Park Avenue are one of the ghosts of non-League football, former League clubs who have slowly drifted downwards to that level and, as with the also resurrected Accrington Stanley, their glory days, such as they were, are a long way back, in the early twentieth century.
Their descent isn't quite so dramatic though as that of the European Cup, League title and FA Cup winners who have subsequently found themselves playing in the lower divisions (Nottingham Forest, Manchester City, Blackburn Rovers, Coventry City, Wigan Athletic, Portsmouth, Leeds United, and a few more I've probably missed too). So who, I thought, has fallen furthest down football's League pyramid?
I wasn't particularly surprised the other day when Marwan Koukash, owner of Salford rugby league club, announced that he was relinquishing control and handing it over to a supporters' trust. I'd been expecting something along those lines at the end of a season in which, despite the money he's put into the team and the highish league position that they achieved, attendances at matches have continued to fall.
When Salford moved to their new ground in Barton-on-Irwell from their longtime home at the Willows in Weaste in 2012, attendances were about 5,000. The stated aim of the move was to at least double that; instead, they are now around half, often bolstered by away rather than home fans supporting their team, and even some season ticket holders no longer attend as many matches as before.
Salford had apparently been told by the Rugby Football League that the Willows was no longer a fit ground for the twenty-first century, hence the move to Barton and a new 12,000-capacity stadium there, jointly owned by Salford City Council and Peel Holdings, owners of the nearby Trafford Centre shopping mall.
A modern ground, even one that incorporated standing areas and offered cheap tickets, was never going to have either the atmosphere or historical associations of the Willows, where Salford had played since 1901, but there have been many other problems with the site too.
I remember at the last match at the Willows, while in the queue for the turnstiles, some fans complaining that in moving to Barton the club was leaving the traditional (i.e. pre-1974) boundaries of Salford, and although that might be a minority opinion there's definitely a feeling that a lot of fans who walked to the ground from the club's Weaste and Pendleton heartlands in the past now no longer bother.
Public transport isn't great to the new ground - the nearest train stations and tram stops are at least a mile away - the proposed tram line to Port Salford, the freight terminal on the Ship Canal also owned by Peel Holdings, which will include a stop nearby, isn't scheduled to open for another four years, and the long access road to the ground means that, despite there being a large, free car park outside, the time it takes to leave it at the end of matches has led many fans to give up using it and parking in the Peel Green housing estate opposite instead.
There has been some talk of Salford not taking enough advantage of their potential fanbase in the neighbouring city of Manchester, and while the idea of that city's name being incorporated into the club's has rightly been rejected, there is some truth to it, especially with their location miles out from the centre in Barton not helping with that.
If the funds could be found, the ideal solution would be to build a ground in the part of Salford that adjoins Manchester city centre, with its numerous transport hubs, but I suspect that they can't, what with the financial support Koukash has given about to be withdrawn and the money from the naming rights to the ground going to Sale Sharks rugby union club, Salford's co-tenants at Barton.
Rugby league has always been dependent on local businessmen becoming owners and directors of its clubs, whether for the prestige or connections that gave them, much like football clubs up until the last quarter of a century in which they have either become PLC's or been transferred to offshore trusts in exotic tax havens controlled by American or Middle and Far Eastern billionaires.
It's hard to see then how, without an alternate source of outside income, a supporters trust will work at Salford, the first board of which is apparently going to be appointed by the outgoing owner. It seems that rather than generously gifting the club to its fans, he is instead walking away from it, perhaps understandably given the circumstances, and taking with him the money which he is no longer willing to put into its continued maintenance.
I went along to the Church Inn in Cheadle Hulme on Thursday evening as my local CAMRA branch, Stockport and South Manchester, was presenting a Pub of the Month award there.
The Church Inn, apparently the second pub to be acquired by Stockport brewery Robinsons, is an early nineteenth century building which was originally two separate cottages. There's a wood-panelled bar with a real fire as you enter, a dining area extending to the rear of the building and a snug behind and served by the same bar, accessible by a corridor alongside it, which seems mainly to be used for TV sports viewing. Thus, although a smallish, food-led pub, it manages to accomodate the needs of drinkers, diners and those there to watch football on TV. There are also a few tables outside at the front, a covered smoking area with another large TV at the rear and a small beer garden beyond that. You can dine in the bar, and outside in the summer months too I suppose, and they also sometimes have live, mostly acoustic, music in there at the weekend.
That a multi-room pub format works so well shouldn't really surprise us: George Orwell in his famous essay The Moon Under Water describes such a place, and you can still see that differentation between rooms in pubs and beerhalls across much of Germany, especially in the Rhineland and Bavaria.
The contrast here, of course, is with large, open plan pubs which scatter a sea of reserved signs on their tables, at which the drinker is barely tolerated and only admitted on condition that they stand at a small bar in a corner, but even some large, food-led pubs manage to welcome the casual caller dropping in for a pint, Wetherspoons being a good example of a place where drinkers and diners mix happily and where, unless it's for a large party of a special event, table reservations are neither generally accepted nor thought necessary to make by customers.
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola is attempting to sign goalkeeper Pepe Reina from Napoli.
On becoming City manager last year, Guardiola effectively dispensed with the club's first-choice keeper for most of the last decade, Joe Hart - sending him out on loan to Torino last season and to West Ham ahead of this - and signed Claudio Bravo from Barcelona.
Bravo ultimately came up short in the shot-stopping department and now looks likely to be sold, but when he was bought Guardiola saw him as a "sweeper-keeper" who could tackle opposing teams' forwards - effectively an extra centre-back - and intitiate attacks with long passes to his own.
The "sweeper-keeper" role was invented in contintental Europe in the 1950's before becoming popular in South America, but has often been seen as a somewhat risky tactic here. Jonathan Wilson in his book The Outsider: A History of the Goalkeeper says of the 1953 match at Wembley in which Hungary beat England 6-3, "[Hungarian goalkeeper] Grosics charged out to the edge of the box and, with impeccable timing, volleyed the ball clear. 'Unorthordox but effective,' said an uncertain Kenneth Wolstenhome in commentary, seemingly not quite sure whether he should approve of this sort of thing."
I guess Guardiola sees Reina both as an experienced back-up keeper for the young Brazilian no. 1 Ederson and as someone who can play as a "sweeper-keeper" and stop a shot.
I've just spent a few days in London for a mate's fiftieth birthday.
I've got one word of advice for fellow Northern beer-hounds heading for the capital: Wetherspoon's.
The pub chain is your best bet for well-kept and conditioned cask beer at the reasonable prices those of us from north of the Trent are used to paying, especially if, like me, you had CAMRA vouchers to use up by the end of the month. Indeed, in the suburb of west London where I was stopping, it was the only pub selling cask beer.
I'm not sure I've drunk beer from Sambrook's Brewery in Battersea before, but the couple of pints of their Powerhouse Porter and (after that ran out) their Junction bitter were easily the best, and certainly cheapest, I found in the metropolis.
I also got to drink in the pub in Clerkenwell where Lenin drank when editing the Russian socialist newpaper Iskra nearby in 1903, and where he later allegedly first met Stalin. Although the building looks pretty much the same as it might have done then, the clientele has changed somewhat.
With a General Election now set for 8th June, the bookies are offering longish odds on anything other than a landslide victory for the Conservatives.
I think the Tories will probably gain about fifty seats, and Labour lose about the same. I can't see the Lib Dems winning more than twenty seats, which would nevertheless be a big step forward for them after their electoral wipeout two years ago, or, unfortunately, the SNP losing any of theirs. This election could also, hopefully, be UKIP's last hurrah.
I also think that after such a result Jeremy Corbyn might, to the consternation of most of his colleagues in the Parliamentary Labour Party, stop on as Leader.
I'm not sure why I continue to make these predictions, having called a Remain vote in the EU referendum and thought that Labour would become the biggest party at the 2015 General Election. On the other hand, I did think, in the face of those who told me that I was dead wrong and that there was absolutely no way that it couldn't happen, that Trump might just win last year's US presidential election.
The playwright, screenwriter and novelist David Storey, who has died aged 83, epitomised the early 1960's realist "New Wave" in British film: Northern, working-class and newly self-confident.
The son of a miner from Wakefield, Storey belonged to the same generation of actors and writers as Albert Finney, Shelagh Delaney, John Braine, Tom Courtenay and Alan Sillitoe, and like them often experienced something of a disconnect between the artistic world he found fame in and his roots, playing rugby league for the Leeds "A" team at weekends before returning to the Slade School of Art in London, a feeling memorably expressed by Courtenay in the entry from the diary he kept as a student at RADA for the day in 1959 when his hometown side Hull lost to Wigan in the Challlenge Cup Final: "Met Dad, went to Wembley. Played Chekhov in evening."
A 14 year-old boy from Sheffield has died in hospital in Leeds after he collapsed at the end of an unlicensed kickboxing bout in the city on Saturday night (unlicensed because the "sport"'s governing body bars those under 16 from the fights it promotes) and the private medical team hired by the event's organisers were unable to save him.
I'm not a fan of boxing, as I wrote here, but there's a world of difference between the law allowing adult men to engage in violence which if it took place anywhere else would see them prosecuted and young people with still developing brains and muscles, no doubt heavily influenced by older family members, being exposed to the dangers of the ring, especially one in which they can legally be kicked as well as punched to the head and upper body.
I've seen comments along the lines of "he died doing what he loved" and " all sports have risks", and West Yorkshire Police have said that they are not treating his death as suspicious, but surely his parents should face some sort of criminal liability.
I'm not saying that they should go to prison - punishment beyond the ridiculously premature and entirely avoidable loss of their son is hardly appropriate here - but a conviction for manslaughter on the grounds that they recklessly put his life in danger, or under one of the child protection laws requiring adults to ensure the safety and welfare of young people in their care, and a suspended sentence would at least send a message to others about society's attitude to such behaviour.
Although it's been available for more than eighty years, having first been sold in the mid-thirties in the post-Prohibition United States, canned beer has always had a bit of a cheapo image compared to draught, or even bottled, beer, and long been associated with globally-brewed, mass-market lagers.
The last canned beer I drank was probably a widgeted can of nitroflow Guinness at a sports event or in a hotel bar. Although I knew that some microbreweries had begun producing so-called "craft cans", the only pubs I'd seen them on sale in were Wetherspoons, where the draught choice is usually good enough not to bother with anything else, and at home I normally drink bottled beer, but an email from online retailer EeBria tempted me to pick up some from Macclesfield brewery RedWillow.
I've drunk cask versions of a fair few RedWillow beers (all of which have a -less suffix: Feckless, Wreckless etc.) on draught in the pub, and a couple of their bottled equivalents here and there too, so I was interested to see how they'd survive the transition to can. The first one I cracked open, Smokeless, is a beer right up my street: a 5.7% abv smoked porter, albeit one infused with chipotle.
I was expecting lots of fizz and a thin head, but as you can see from the photo there was a decent amount of foam and the beer beneath was softly carbonated: if I'd been asked to, I think I'd have had a hard time distinguishing it from the cask version, although the chipotle flavour was a little bit more pronounced I thought. I'm looking forward to seeing how their hop-forward and fruity pale ales stand up in cans.
There are apparently some can-conditioned beers, including a few German wheat beers, which still have live yeast in the container and would therefore be acceptable to CAMRA in the same way that bottle-conditioned ones are.
I went to Edgeley Park in Stockport on Saturday afternoon to watch FC United, the club which split from Manchester United following its takeover by the Glazers, play Stockport County in National League North, the sixth tier of English football.
The last time I went to a match at Edgeley Park, back in 2008, Stockport were in fourth-tier League Two, (heady days!) and I sat towards the back of the Main Stand, amongst the grumbling, seen it all before old codgers you expect to find in that section of the ground, as they beat visitors Accrington Stanley 2-0; this time, I stood with the away fans on the open Railway End as the home side recorded a 2-1 win.
1. Paying in cash on the turnstile at prices even lower than the already pretty reasonable ones of nine years ago.
2. Standing throughout the match in unreserved seats bolted onto the terracing, allowing groups of teenage lads, older mates, and most importantly the loudest singers to congregate together, so that sound builds behind the goal before spreading across the end.
3. Watching the whole match in the resulting kind of noise which, as it should, leaves you slightly hoarse/deaf when you come out of the ground.
4. The teams playing in unnamed strips numbered 1-11: might seem a minor point, but it just looks right to me.
I don't remotely think that the Premier League is going to allow any of the above any time soon, although there are admirable efforts underway to re-introduce safe standing at top-flight grounds, as already happens in Germany, and from this season at Celtic Park in Glasgow too.
Alan Simpson who died yesterday aged 87 was, along with Ray Galton, one half of the scriptwriting team which wrote two of the most celebrated British TV sitcoms of the 50's, 60's and 70's, Hancock's Half Hour and Steptoe and Son.
A number of themes run through both programmes, contributing to the pathos as well as to the comedy in them.
1. Class: all the best British TV comedies are about class, whether inverted as in Dad's Army, with the lower middle-class bank manager Captain Mainwaring in supposed charge of his aristocratic clerk Sergeant Wilson, both of whom rely on the black marketeer Private Walker for essential supplies, or aspiritional in Only Fools and Horses where Peckham tower block dwellers and wheeler dealers Del Boy and Rodney strive unsuccessfully to become yuppies in the Thatcherite 80's.
In Galton and Simpson's sitcoms, there's a lack of connection between how characters see their class position and the reality of it: Albert Steptoe is a working-class Tory who sees himself as a small businessman, and therefore a cut above the neighbours, while his left-wing son Harold, a partner in the firm, nevertheless sees himself as an oppressed worker; Hancock similarly has social aspirations beyond his working or lower middle-class background, in contrast to the spivvy Sid James and their charwoman Patricia Hayes.
2. The frustrated artist/intellectual: Hancock and Harold Steptoe both see themselves as frustrated men of letters, philosphers, artists and actors, unlike those around them who invariably mock their artistic pretensions.
3. Claustrophobia: Hancock's Half Hour takes place first in a small house in Railway Cuttings, East Cheam, and later a bedsit in Earl's Court. Steptoe and Son live in a gloomy house amid a ramshackle, rickety-gated scrapyard in Oil Drum Lane, Shepherd's Bush, which in the episode where Harold takes up amateur dramatics, only to be upstaged, inevitably, by his father, the director of the play mistakes for a theatrical set. The episode of Steptoe and Son where escaped convicts led by Leonard Rossiter turn up there late at night could easily be a short piece by Harold Pinter or Samuel Beckett.
4. Post-war imperial decline/the nuclear age: there's a feeling in both series that Britain and the characters' best days are behind them: Hancock and Harold Steptoe probably dreamt of, and might even once have achieved, a place of some sort in a now rapidly disintegrating British Empire. The latter did his National Service in Malaya during the so-called Emergency, an end of empire conflict which eventually led to the colony's independence, while the former's finest hours, as recounted in no doubt exaggerated tales of battlefield exploits, lie further back, in World War II. And hanging over both is the sense that their frustrated, claustrophobic lives might end all too soon in thermonuclear destruction.
Club 43, the place to hear modern jazz in Manchester from the early fifties to the late sixties, is returning to its original home, the newly-reopened Stage and Radio Club at 43 Port Street, a thoroughfare between Piccadilly and the Northern Quarter best known now as the location of Port Street Beer House.
Club 43 was owned and operated by jazz promoter Eric Scriven, first at Port Street, then from the mid-fifties in a building on Oxford Road later demolished to make way for the Mancunian Way, and finally, with business partner Ernie Garside, on Amber Street off Shudehill. Pairing British jazz musicians including drummer Phil Seamen and local bebop pianist Joe Palin with such stellar American names as Hank Mobley, Sonny Rollins and Max Roach while the latter were on tour in Europe, its closure was the result of a crackdown on late-night music clubs in the late sixties and early seventies by one James Anderton, later a hugely conroversial Chief Constable of Manchester.
Most of what I know about Club 43 are things I've learnt from fellow members of Manchester Jazz Society who patronised it, played or worked there, including Bill Birch whose book Keeper of the Flame: Modern Jazz in Manchester features photographs, programmes and maps of it.
The relaunched Club 43 kicks off at the end of this month with a session featuring Matt Nickson, of Matt & Phreds jazz club on Tib Street, whom I filmed performing with Mancunian blues legend Victor Brox last year at the Smithfield Market Tavern on Swan Street.

'A work of truth' looks at the novel L'Assommoir, the first to represent how the workers—the new French industrial proletariat—really lived. The story of Gervaise Macquart, a washerwoman whose modest desires are thwarted by unreliable men, a predisposition to drink, and a hostile environment, caused an uproar. Zola uses contemporary slang to replicate working-class speech; and an effect of empathy is created by his innovative use of narrative voice, whereby the lines between the characters and the narrator become blurred. It is as if the workers themselves tell their own story. L'Assommoir made Zola famous. Ironically, given its subject matter, it also made him rich.Less

'After the Rougon-Macquart' considers the final novel of the Rougon-Macquart cycle, Doctor Pascal. This novel explores the themes of science and religion, renewal and rebirth. The latter theme was of personal significance to Zola, as he had recently fathered two children with his mistress, Jeanne Rozerot. Zola's later fiction is discussed in the context of the climate of ideas in France in the fin de siècle. The writer's involvement in the Dreyfus affair brought him glaringly into the public eye, and may indeed have led to his death: he died from carbon monoxide poisoning, suspected to be the result of foul play. His remains were interred in the Panthéon alongside Voltaire, Rousseau, and Victor Hugo.Less
Afterword: legacies of decadence

Manifestations of decadence outside of western Europe appear to confirm philosopher Theodor Adorno's thesis that decadence entails an implicit critique of modernity. The elevation of decadence to a position of such heightened social and cultural significance is only one part of the legacy of Baudelaire, Huysmans, and Wilde. Today, academic interest in decadence is on the rise and a set of sociocultural concerns that once seemed secondary or derivative now appears far more substantial than the notion of "decadent style" or of some other purely aesthetic analysis. Because of its conflicted sense of modernity, decadence emerges as a kind of dark humanism, with the decadent paradigm of decline and decay acquiring positive value.Less
3. The age of idealism (1781–1832)

'The age of idealism (1781–1832)' describes how Immanuel Kant endeavoured to reconcile the empiricist Enlightenment of the bourgeoisie with the rationalist Enlightenment of officialdom in a new fusion to which he gave the name of Idealism. This subtle compromise between two different Enlightenments provided an ideological basis on which the German official class could claim to represent and harmonize the interests both of the economically productive middle class and of the absolute monarch, or state, which they served. The period of officialdom's cultural hegemony — the age of philosophical idealism — was the period in which German literature bore its most distinctive fruits, its classical age.Less

'The age of materialism (1832–1914)' explains how the philosophers who dominated the new age in Germany were materialist where their predecessors had been idealist, and socially autonomous where their predecessors had been dependent. The major figures were emphatic in subordinating the human power of thought to some prior principle: in Schopenhauer the will, in Feuerbach the senses, in Marx class interest, in Nietzsche, in one form or another, all three. These very different writers had in common that they were deliberately overthrowing the primacy given to thought, or 'reason', by German philosophy from Leibniz to Hegel.Less

Through the theme of alien encounters science fiction has interrogated the limits of identity and the nature of differences. From H.G. Wells to Star Trek, 'Alien encounters' examines the theme of contact between humans and aliens and how this reflected the varying political and social background of the period. Alien invasion, sympathetic aliens, and communicating with aliens provide different perspectives in which ideas around ethnicity and gender and the changing perceptions of race and species are reflected in novels and film.Less

'The ambivalence of the veil' explores the relationship between Western and Muslim worlds. For many Westerners, nothing symbolizes the differences more than 'the veil', a shorthand for the many ways in which Muslim women choose to dress, sometimes covering their heads or faces. Today, in Islamic societies, and among many Muslim women in non-Islamic societies, the veil (hijab) has come to symbolize a cultural and religious identity. A pertinent question to ask is how can a 1930s colonial image of an 'Arab woman' typifies European stereotypical representations of, and assumptions about, Muslim women even today. This can be contrasted with how men in masks—Batman or the Zapatistas in balaclavas—are considered to exhibit positive forms of masculinity.Less

'The American bestseller' traces its evolution from the nineteenth century to the present day. Uncle Tom's Cabin (1852) broke the Scott and Dickens mould in America, while Mark Twain forged a distinctive national idiom and voice. Pulp fiction emerged in the early twentieth century, forming a mutually beneficial alliance with films. Strong genres were melodrama, romance, the western, crime, science fiction, and horror, though their relative strength fluctuated and still does. The 'quality superseller' became a regular feature, thanks to authors such as Margaret Atwood and Tom Wolfe. By the end of the 1990s, John Grisham novels reliably sold two million hardback copies and five times as many in paperback.Less

Literature hasn't always been a silent and solitary activity. The ancient bards did not write their poems down: they memorized and recited them. Dramatic poetry is by its nature aural and communal. 'Among the English poets' examines the history of poetry, the life of poets, and the poetry of war and desire. There are many varieties of poetry, both public and private. Romanticism's emphasis on the writer's own feelings was in effect a privatizing of poetry. Keats wrote odes to moods, nature, and seasons. War has had a huge impact on our views of poetry. In some respects, the famous First World War poets shaped war poetry so decisively that it has been impossible to go beyond them.Less

A great deal is known about reading in the ancient Greek and Roman worlds, but it is important to remember that a good deal of what we think of as Greek and Roman literature was heard and not read. The Greek and Roman Empires included readers, but it was orality that remained the prized preserves of intellectuals. Writing and reading were often seen as both socially and politically disruptive. 'Ancient worlds' considers how slowly, but surely, reading aloud in a group gave way to solitary, silent reading. It also explains how it was Roman society that promoted reading and writing among more than a small bureaucratic and priestly elite.Less

'"And don't dispute with fools": Men, women, and society' references Pushkin's view of the poet as conflicted by having to live both in the world of mysticism, art, and religion, as well as in the banal sphere of high society. What was the place of women in high society? Why were they seen as ideal readers? How important were salons? and how influential were literary journals? What is feminine language and how did Pushkin use it? Was Pushkin aware of the feminism of his day? What was the status of female writers, and was it possible for them to achieve critical notice? The 'big four' Russian poets are identified and discussed.Less

Antony and Cleopatra is a great sprawling masterpiece of a play, rich in poetry, vast in imaginative power, in depth of characterization, in psychological penetration, in ironical comedy, and ultimately in tragic grandeur. Its irony results partly from the fact that its central characters invite us not so much to identify with them, but rather to wonder at them with awe and amazement. 'Antony and Cleopatra' explains that the play draws heavily on Plutarch's Lives of the Noble Grecians and Romans and describes two worlds—Cleopatra's Egypt and Mark Antony's Rome—and of the links, but also of the contrasts and tensions, between them.Less

Sade's legacy is huge despite being officially supressed for two centuries. His work has been widely read and his influence on writers, artists, and thinkers is undeniable. 'Apostle of freedom' examines his legacy from its lowest ebb in the 19th century, to now. In the 19th century his influence can be seen in two extremes: the Gothic excesses of Romanticism and the preoccupation with the seedier side of life in Realist and Naturalist novels. Both Justine and Juliette have been secretly read by many. In the 20th century, Sade exerted a more noticeable influence on intellectual activity in novels, films, paintings, and social and sexual movements. Sade's legacy has adapted to the changing intellectual arena.Less

'Approaches to rhetoric' addresses some fundamental questions about how the study and practice of rhetoric should be approached. Using examples from the work of Alfred Hitchcock; George Orwell; the 'New Critics' of the mid-twentieth century — W. K. Wimsatt and Monroe C. Beardsley; Roland Barthes; and the speeches of George H.W. Bush, the various approaches to rhetoric bring us back to the problem of meaning and intention. Speech-act theory and 'New Rhetoric' are also considered. It concludes that if speakers' intentions are often opaque and in the ultimate sense unknowable, their rhetoric can still provide a window to the values of the societies in which they originate.Less

'Around the Revolution' describes the growing scepticism about claims that the social order was founded on nature, itself based on divine providence. The literary works inspired by the Revolution are examined. The eighteenth century saw a growing disaffection with absolute monarchy and a growing conviction that social institutions were based on an implicit contract rather than on divine authority. Beaumarchais's protagonist Figaro has become symbolic of the cultural ferment that led to the Revolution. In The Marriage of Figaro references to chance make it clear that it is through pure chance that Figaro and his master occupy their actual positions.Less

'The arts' surveys the arts Romanticism inspired. Was Beethoven a Romantic or a 'classical' composer? Who are the major figures of Romanticism within music? The prestige of music is explored, with particular attention paid to its dominance in German culture. Where does the Romantic period fall in art history, and who are its major proponents? How long was Romanticism's influence felt for? Is it still being felt today? Was there a 'Romantic system of the arts'? An examination of content and form across different artistic disciplines tries to answer this question. Was Romanticism a rebellion or a revolution? Was it the most important artistic movement there has ever been?Less

The Goths were a missionary force that emerged from Graeco-Roman civilization. They had effectively caused the death of the classical pagan world. The spiritual crusade of the Goths allowed the Catholic church to rise and establish itself across Western Europe. During the Renaissance, a new definition of the Gothic emerged, focused on mediaeval culture. By the 1530s, Giorgio Vasari was referring to 'Gothic' architecture to distinguish the mediaeval period from the classic. 'The ascent to heaven' describes Gothic style in art, architecture, and decoration during the 16th century. The spiritual meaning of architectural Gothic was in space, light, artistry, and craft. It is ironic that it led to a style associated with the darker side.Less

Romance is a very ancient literary form. A typical example is the adventures of Apollonius, told in many different versions. But is it good literature? 'Aspects of the English novel' examines why the popularity of a novel in the marketplace equates with lack of respect from the literary establishment. There is a side to the art of the novel in which the profoundest understanding of the complexity of individuals, their relationships and their social milieu, requires a commitment to human intelligence. Great literature creates a force that takes possession of the writer and enables them to create a place that takes possession of the reader, transporting the reader to another world.Less

'Authority' examines the narratives of legitimation entrenched in popular attitudes towards dictionaries. They are often constructed as gatekeepers, selectively admitting words because they have been judged worthy of being recorded. In contrast, the changing wordlists of descriptive dictionaries simply reflect the diction of current use. The underlying premises are quantitative (based on the frequency and prevalence of particular forms) rather than qualitative (based on evaluations of 'good' or 'bad', legitimate or otherwise). The real measure of authority for a dictionary resides in being authoritative — a quality which rests firmly on the careful and systematic assessment of usage.Less

'Autobiography' takes us through Dante's works—including The Divine Comedy, Vita nova, and Convivio—and shows that they have one recurrent character, Dante himself. In the Comedy, he is the traveller through Hell, Purgatory, and Paradise whose mission is to tell us what he saw and experienced in the course of his journey, and whose personality, role, and self-understanding undergo complex changes as the poem progresses. In Dante's life-writing there is no continuous narrative, rather a series of retrospective examinations of phases in his emotional, spiritual, intellectual, and artistic life, with overlaps, shifts of emphasis, and some striking contradictions.Less

JOHANNESBURG—A new variant of the coronavirus that is surging across South Africa may make the existing Covid-19 vaccines less effective, but is unlikely to be totally resistant to the shots, according to leading researchers who have studied the mutations and the vaccines.
The variant, which has already shown up in patients in Europe and other African countries, has quickly become the predominant one in South Africa, exacerbating a second wave of infections that is overwhelming hospitals and has driven daily deaths to record highs.
South African researchers are racing to determine whether it makes patients more seriously ill than other variants of the virus. They are also testing how it responds to antibodies from people who have recovered from Covid-19 and those who have received coronavirus vaccines.
香蕉视频苹果下载Their official conclusions are eagerly awaited by researchers around the globe, since one of the variant's mutations has in earlier laboratory experiments shown increased resistance to some of the antibodies the body uses to fight off Covid-19. U.K. Health Secretary Matt Hancock said earlier this week that he was "incredibly worried about the South African variant."
But scientists who worked on the antibody experiments and the lead investigators of several vaccine trials being conducted in South Africa say that—based on their understanding of the virus and the immune response triggered by the shots—the immunizations should still work against the new variant, although perhaps not as effectively.

Religion, Law, USA
Joshua Dubler, Isaac Weiner
North American Religions
New York, NY:
, July
In 1976, Oxford University Press published cultural theorist Raymond Williams' Keywords: A Vocabulary of Culture and Society. Williams' goal was to record an "inquiry into a vocabulary: a shared body of words and meanings in our most general discussions." In particular, Williams sought what he called "binding" and/or "indicative" words. The work would have nothing if not an edge to it. "This is not a neutral review of meanings," Williams reminded his readers. In many respects, the book under review, Religion, Law, USA, edited by Joshua Dubler and Isaac Weiner, continues this rich tradition of considering a capacious and pressing vocabulary. It, too, has an edge to it: one increasingly sharpened by the polarizing headlines of our present.
This collection explores three clusters of ideas in an attempt to understand their simultaneous appearance in American public life today. Such simultaneity calls for multiple angles of interdisciplinary analysis that augment one another in the pursuit of a scholarly appraisal (some of the authors use contemporary events for their respective case studies, including the Dakota Access Pipeline protests and the US travel ban). The fourteen chapters are broken down into the following subsections: Definition, Contestation, Management, and Limits. The chapter titles reflect their provocative contents: "Separation," "Hope," "Friend," "Sovereignty," and "Belief." Disciplinary training varies among the contributors, ranging from history and religious studies to American studies and sociology. "To think through these concepts requires that we consider not solely what they mean but also the trajectories and circumstances that call these meanings to life," the editors contend (3). For Weiner and Dubler, such methodological richness helps elucidate the ways in which "religion came to be constructed as a special object of legal concern and the bases on which it continues to warrant distinctive treatment" (14).
In the tradition of Critical Terms for Religious Studies (1998, University of Chicago Press), Religion, Law, USA takes up its own series of critical terms as sites of understanding for varying moods and modes of religion and law in American public life. Sylvester Johnson examines the conditions upon which both corporations and artificial intelligence could be considered persons in the eyes of the law. Kathryn Lofton asks if scholars matter relative to the legal genre of the amicus brief. For most judges, they do not whatsoever. Lofton's advice for this state of affairs is simple: "Rather than show how the history of religions in America is biased toward Christians . . . the scholar might show how the subjects of the state have been religiously determined and historically mutable" (244). For Lofton and others in this collection, religion is interesting categorically insofar as its sources of production are illuminated alongside the actions of those who speak and act in its name.
Each chapter's overarching analytical task is arguably the same: to illuminate how various state and legal apparatuses bring religion into existence (and vice versa) through its regulation in the public square in the name of religious freedom. As Finbarr Curtis notes, however, such a seeming contradiction in terms makes perfect sense in an American context. Curtis contends that the idea of free exercise is best understood less as freedom from norms altogether, and more as the "ability of institutions to more effectively and authoritatively regulate human bodies in the absence of state forms of bodily regulation" (69). For genealogists like Curtis, religion has as much to do with power as it does with individual choice. As such, religion is less something to be stumbled up in the world, and more subject to and product of varied socioeconomic, cultural, and ideological settings.
The scholastic significance of this collection originates as much from its individual contributions as it does from the methodological choices that brought such clusters together in the first place. A theoretical interest in what could be called the conditions of religious possibility, rather than the pursuit of individual agency, unites the collection in its interest in religion, law, and genealogical critique. As such, this collection exemplifies what Curtis, Jason Bivins, Chip Callahan, and others have called American Religious Studies (ARS) as a critical subfield. For these scholars of religion, an intuitive form of common sense continues to shape much of what passes as scholarly analysis in the field of American religious history. The text under review takes these assumptions as its primary subject matter in evaluating the "new politics of religious freedom" (14). Only one chapter possesses a definite article in its title, speaking to both its content and disciplinary approach in naming the otherwise occluded from view: "the Secular."
Less the marking of religion's absence or disappearance, this chapter instead speaks to a geospatial arrangement most easily discernible within democratic forms of governance, Western or otherwise. Instead of assuming a zero-sum game when it comes to the relationship between religion and the secular, historians and scholars of religion have now begun to explore how the secular itself has made varying conceptions of religion and secularity possible in the modern world. "Secular law depends explicitly on a particular cartography of space," argues Bivins. "The various 'spheres' presumed by liberal constitutional governance not only posit specific institutions . . . as paradigmatically public but also reify assumptions that such institutions are, as public spaces, value neutral" (214). Bivins' piece echoes his fellow contributors' methodological investments in the rigorous examination of the material consequences of largely ideological clusters in the study of religion and law in the United States.
In terms of usage in the classroom, this text is built for advanced undergraduate classes as well as graduate seminars in departments of religion, history, law, and American studies. Chapters by Tisa Wenger, Rosemary R. Corbett, and Ashon Crawley are particularly well suited for this type of application. Here, we finally have a thoroughly interdisciplinary text that relies on case studies to: 1) illustrate significant theoretical insights, and 2) model future work in American religious studies. In a perfect world, this book has the potential to chart a new descriptive path for US religions generally considered for the foreseeable future.

1.1 Yet another UNIX guide ?
The aim of this course is to provide a very gentle introduction to the UNIX operating system for those who are more used to working in graphical computer environments such as Microsoft Windows or Mac OS and who are therefore unfamiliar with UNIX. An internet search will quickly reveal a multitude of existing material on a similar theme so why re-invent the wheel here ? The motivation is to gather together in one place all of the information needed to allow users to get started on local UNIX systems at Liverpool and, in particular, the Condor cluster. Clearly this requires specific local knowledge that is not available in other guides. Futhermore this course aims to provide users with only the basic understanding that they need to get started with UNIX and no more. Many courses dive straight into fairly advanced topics such as process control, pipes and output redirection which, although they are fundamental to UNIX, are not required to begin with and may scare off novices.
If you have only ever used operating systems such as Windows and Mac OS on personal computers and laptops etc, the UNIX operating system may at first sight seem slightly forbidding and difficult to master. You may even wonder whether it is actually worth the trouble of learning at all ! If you are researcher who works in an area which requires significant amounts of computation (e.g. bio-informatics/statistics, computational chemistry/biology, physics and engineering etc) then the answer to this is a resounding YES ! Many specialised research computing systems make use of UNIX including most of the world's supercomputers and a large amount of freely available research software has been developed either solely or primariy for UNIX. UNIX also provides unrivalled facilites for manipulating, searching and sorting data that are useful in many disciplines (particularly the data-intensive analyses found in life- and biosciences).
The course starts with a brief historical perspective. If you are in a hurry, you can skip over this section and go straight to the local introduction section. Knowing where UNIX came from however can help you understand why it works the way it does and how it became to be so popular. We then move on to describe how to login to local UNIX systems and how to enter (and edit) some simple commands. Understanding the UNIX filesystem is the next topic since this is fundamental to the rest of the course and with that out of the way we'll move on to explaining how to manipulate files and directories (folders) in some detail. We'll also have a look at controlling how information is presented by the various UNIX commands, find out where to go for online help and look at how to transfer files to and from a UNIX machine.
The aim here is to provide a very "hands-on" tutorial introduction so please try the examples and excercises as you go along. A theoretical approach to UNIX is likely to be as successful as learning how to ride a bike from a book so dive in and experiment as much as possible. You can expect to make few mistakes along the way but no permanent damage will be done. Maybe you'll even delete a file by accident (it happens to the best of us at one time or other !). Not to worry though - just remember the bike analogy. There might be a few mishaps to begin with but pretty soon you'll be cruising along safely without having to worry about falling off and wondering why you found it so difficult in the first place.
The UNIX operating system has its origins way back in the early 1970s when computers would take up the entire floor of a building and the idea of having a computer on your desk top (not to mention in a mobile phone !) was strictly in the realm of science fiction. These huge mainframe systems were generally used for business applications and their price tag put them far beyound the means of university research groups. The invention of the microprocessor (essentially a computer on a single silicon "chip") in 1971 paved the way for a new generation of smaller machines called mini-computers aimed at supporting a handful of simultaneous users. It was these systems that quickly became adopted by research groups.
Originally all operating systems were created using a very primitive programming language called assembly whose instructions corresponded directly to the operations carried out by the hardware. This was difficult to write, cumbersome and prone to errors. Assembly was also used in the original version of UNIX created in 1969 however, in 1973 it was completely rewritten using the, newly invented C programming language (which is still used today). This turned out to be a landmark event in computing as it meant that the same operating system could be run on different computer hardware without it having to be rewritten from scratch each time. In this way, the operating system could essentially outlive its original hardware thus guaranteeing its long term existence.
Although for many years an American telecomms company called AT&T owned the rights to the UNIX operating system (which was developed at their Bell Research Labs), many other computer companies soon began to produce their own versions of UNIX. Since these did not evolve from a common software base, differences between each vendor's version of UNIX soon started to appear. This led in the late 1980s and early 1990s to major squables over whose version of UNIX should be adopted as the standard one and even to the present day this has still not been fully resolved.
At around the same time, two developments occured which also had a major influence on the development and use of UNIX. The first intitially seemed quite unremarkable - the creation of a new open standard for computer communication called TCP/IP. Until then, computer vendors each adopted their own proprietary networking standards meaning that, for example, an IBM computer could only "talk" to another IBM computer. Vendors quickly incorporated the software underpinning TCP/IP into the UNIX operating system so now any computer could now talk to any other computer running UNIX regardless of who supplied the original system. This lead to an explosion in network connectivity with smaller computer networks becoming part of larger national networks which in turn were part of still larger international ones. These networks of networks were soon to form the backbone of the global Internet which we know today.
The second development came about through work on human-computer intefaces carried out by Hewlett Packard (HP) at their Palo Alto Research Centre in the early 1970s. Previously, the most efficient way of using a computer was to type in a series of slightly cryptic looking commands and wait for the computer to respond - possibly with something equally as cryptic (if this sounds bad, the previous method was to punch holes in pieces of card for the computer to read !). Obviously something more user-friendly was needed if computing was ever to break into the mainstream and HP hit up on the, then novel, idea of the user being a able to interact with the computer by moving a device (later called a mouse) to point at icons on a graphical display. This was a revolutionary idea but unfortunately ahead of its time. Few computer installations had terminals that supported graphical displays, almost none had a mouse interface and in any case there was insufficient processing power to support such a complex operating system interface.
The so-called WIMP (windows, icons, mice and pointers) interface may have languished as a research curiosity had it not been for work carried out at MIT in 1984. By now UNIX was widely adopted and many users accessed central UNIX systems through their own desktop machines called workstations (also running UNIX). In contrast to the "dumb" terminals used in mainframe installations these workstations had significant computing power and the ability to display complicated graphics. MIT realised that the complex "number crunching" required in many scientific applications could be done on a powerful central system and results displayed locally on a workstation. The whole thing could be tied together by a graphical operating system interface similar to that developed by HP. Analagous to the TCP/IP network standard, communication between workstation and the remote system would conform to an open standard so that for example a HP workstation could be used to access an IBM central server. The overall system was dubbed the X Windows standard and was widely adopted by UNIX vendors.
X Windows was a conservative standard which did not specify how the graphics windows and icons etc themselves were displayed or how people would use them. This allowed vendors free rein to develop their own window managers. Attempts to establish a standard graphical interface (similar to say Windows) failed and soon UNIX vendors where more or less at war over which was the "one true UNIX". This lack of co-operation between vendors hampered the development of a truely sophisticated graphical interface for UNIX and to this day it is fair to say that the UNIX graphical environments lag a long way behind their Microsoft and Apple counterparts in terms of usability.
The next character to appear in the UNIX story arrived in 1981 in the guise of the IBM Personal Computer. This was not the first personal computer designed to be used by a single user which would sit comfortably on an office desk but it quickly became the most popular with many other manufacturers making IBM PC clones thanks to IBM's open licensing policy. Initial machines where extremely expensive by modern standards but improving technology and enconomies of scale quickly brought down prices to a point where they were affordable by non-business users including university researchers.
The original operating system for the IBM PC was a command line affair created by Microsoft in 1981 and called DOS (Disk Operating System). This was very primitive compared to UNIX but pretty much all that the original hardware could support. Rapid increases in microprocessor power and the development of special graphics processors though allowed Microsoft produce a graphical operating system interface for the PC which was launched as Windows 1.0 in 1985. This was fairly "clunky" and unreliable by modern standards but advances in software and hardware eventually led to a sophisticated operating system which was fairly easy and intuitive to use. As had happened with UNIX, Microsoft (eventually) incorporated TCP/IP networking so that the PC could now "talk" to other computers such servers, mainframes and research systems (and by extension anything on the global Internet).
Soon the graphics capabilities of PCs matched those of the original UNIX workstations and the development of special software (such as eXceed) allowed users to login to central UNIX machines, interact with them using X Windows and display graphical results locally on the PC. Since a PC was generally a fraction of the cost of a UNIX workstation and could perform other tasks such a word processing, users quite reasonably started to wonder about the logic of buying a UNIX workstation. This being the case, UNIX workstations pretty much disappeared from desktops save for specialised use in research labs and UNIX disappeared into computer server rooms rooms to be replaced by Microsoft operating systems on the desktop.
And that would have been almost the end of the UNIX story had it not been for one final character - a Finnish software engineer called Linus Torvalds. For reasons best known to himself, Torvalds in 1991 decided to create from scratch his very own version of UNIX for the PC (strictly speaking, he only wrote the core of the operating system called the "kernel" but we'll keep it simple here). This, with a certain amount of self-promotion, he called Linux (pronounced as in "Lynne Ucks"). More remarkable than this was that he made the Linux software freely available and modifiable to anyone interested - a move that would have seemed like commercial suicide to most computer companies at the time.
The fact that anyone could contribute to Linux quickly allowed bugs to be spotted and removed and improvements made to the operating system to the benefit of all. Initial interest in Linux was confined to a fairly small group of amateur computer enthusiasts ("geeks" might be a less flattering description) however, large computer companies soon started to realise the commercial benefits of using Linux (not least lower development costs) and started supporting it on their own systems.
Other companies also provided their own versions of Linux with support packages thrown in (at cost). Today Linux is used in a huge variety of systems from large supercomputers, through web servers to PCs and even mobile phones in the form of the Android operating system. A freely available version of UNIX also forms the basis of the Mac OS X operating system and its descendents. Stricly speaking Linux and UNIX are two separate entities however, there are enough similarities for them to be treated as one for the purposes of this course.
So that's the UNIX story in a bigish nutshell. With UNIX being used on so many systems it may seem strange that it still remains fairly obscure to many people. That however probably has more to do with the enormous ubiquity and pervasiveness of Microsoft Windows which is found on the vast majority of world's computers (but not mobile phones). Hopefully though you will now appreciate why UNIX is so important and why it is useful to be able to use it. Hence this course !
As indicated earlier, the aim of this guide is to provide just enough information for users new to UNIX to get started on local UNIX systems and the condor cluster in particular. In the interests of simplicity, this means that it is not a complete guide to all UNIX systems although most of what is covered here applies more generally. As described in the historical introduction, there are a multitude of slightly different versions of UNIX developed by different computer vendors over the years. There is also a version of UNIX called Linux which although initially developed for the PC is now used on a wide range of platforms from mobile phones to supercomputers.
Originally the only way to use a UNIX system was to type in commands and wait for the computer to display the results in text format - a so-called command line interface. UNIX systems now support a variety graphical interfaces superficially similar to Microsoft Windows or Mac OS however, just to add to the confusion, these graphical interfaces vary from vendor to vendor and even exactly the same operating system will have a variety of graphical environments to chose from. If that wasn't enough variety, UNIX operating systems support a variety different command line interfaces called shells.
All this variety may be starting to give you a headache but DON'T PANIC !!! Most if not all of the information in this guide will apply to every UNIX system you are likely to encounter. To keep things simple we are going to stick to the UNIX command line interface rather than the graphical interfaces. If you are used to using Microsoft Windows etc this may seem like hard work to begin with but stick with it - it turns out that this is very powerful especially when it comes to manipulating large numbers of files (and even large numbers of large files).
Again in the interests of simplicity, we'll stick to condor (the important differences between this and other local systems will be added later). This uses the Scientific Linux operating system which to most intents and purposes can be considered a standard UNIX operating system. The command line interface uses something called the bash shell which stands for Bourne Again Shell since it was based on an earlier shell called the Bourne Shell (unfortunately this is an example of typical UNIX humour - you can see why it hasn't caught on in the comedy circuit). The shell is actually a very important part of a UNIX system but we won't go into much detail about it here. In fact the only reason for mentioning the shell is this that other systems may use different shells. In particular, many UNIX textbooks describe the so-called C-shell which is based on the C programming language (more UNIX humour - groan !). This is subtley different to bash so tread carefully.
After that rather length preamble it's time to dive in and start using UNIX in earnest but just before that there may be some additional software you will need to install on your computer first. This is described in the next section.

We know that choosing to enter a treatment program is not an easy decision. But, once that decision is made, getting into a program shouldn't be difficult. We've made our admissions process as easy as possible so that you can focus on what really matters: healing.
Please note that while we are prepared to treat individuals whose substance abuse problems are accompanied by certain co-occurring mental health disorders, we cannot accept individuals who have acute mental illness or who otherwise have treatment needs that exceed our capacity for care. We offer a specialized track that includes therapies that are designed to help those who are struggling with co-occurring mental or behavioral health concerns.
If we determine that an individual is not a good fit for our programming, we will be happy to work with him or her, or with his or her family, to provide referrals for other programs that may be better prepared to meet the individual's needs.
A member of our admissions team will be available to speak with you 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Whether you are a potential client or the loved one of someone who can benefit from our services, we are here to answer any questions that you may have. We can review treatment options, complete a pre-admission assessment to determine suitability for our program, and help you make the most informed decision for yourself or on behalf of a loved one.
The information you provide will be reviewed by our staff to ensure that the individual is a good fit for The Camp medically, psychiatrically, and financially. Based on that information, the prospective client will either be cleared for admission or offered treatment referrals that will better meet his or her needs. Once a prospective client is approved for admission, we will begin to make arrangements for his or her arrival and the start of treatment.
Due to the customized nature of care at The Camp Recovery Center, the cost of an individual's treatment will depend upon several factors, including the severity of his or her needs and the scope of services that we provide. During your admissions discussions with our staff, the advisor with whom you speak will be able to provide you with complete and accurate information about the financial aspect of treatment.
For additional details about insurance coverage and other financial matters, please visit our Financial Page. Of course, for answers to specific questions that you may have about the cost of treatment at The Camp Recovery Center, you are always welcome to call us at any time.
As noted at the beginning of this page, our goal is to provide you with an efficient and stress-free admissions experience so that you can get into treatment and begin your recovery journey as quickly as possible. Once the initial assessments have been completed and you have been approved for admission, you can put your full focus on what matters most: your health and continued well-being.
When you arrive at The Camp, you will be greeted by a friendly and knowledgeable member of our team, who will explain our policies and procedures and help you become familiar with your new environment. As you will soon discover, our combination of talented and dedicated professionals and a serene and supportive environment makes The Camp Recovery Center a very special place. We look forward to welcoming you into our family and helping you take your initial steps along the path to a brighter and more satisfying future.
To learn more about our admissions process, or for answers to any specific questions that you may have about any aspect of programming at The Camp, please do not hesitate to contact us at your convenience. We look forward to speaking with you and providing you with the information that you need in order to make the best decisions for yourself or on behalf of a loved one.


If there's one thing Michelle Pool has learned recently, it's this: Never give up on a lost horse.
You'd think after 10 years, faith would have started to dim for Pool's chances of recovering Opie, the family horse taken from her ranch near San Antonio. But Pool kept posting notices and investigating, using web sites such as netposse.com to help in her search.
And it worked: Stolen Horse International reports that a tipster saw Opie for sale on Craiglsit, and a reunion has been held.
"I will see him, kiss his face and blow in his nose soon. The shattered dreams I had are being put back piece by piece and glued together all with the help of two AMAZING people....the tipster DeAnna and Debi with Stolen Horse International - netposse.com THANK YOU!" Pool told the group after the horse was found.
The Cleveland Advocate reports Opie had been given to a woman by her pastor to take care of him after finding him abandoned on a road.
"WarBonnet was scared, wild-eyed and thin. I let him go in a small pasture for two days .. once we joined up and started building up some trust, I decided to saddle him and was going to tie him to a hitching post. That's when he went down to his knees and began shaking. I realized that the horse had been through some serious abuse," said Della. "He was deathly afraid of ropes of any kind."


Toronto audiences will be able to catch the "cream of the short film crop" at Carlton Cinema with this year's Animation Show of Shows courtesy of the program's curator/producer Ron Diamond. As much as movie goers should always show support for short films, this year's showcase (consisting of eleven international films) ranges from ingenious to pointless.
The program, at least, starts out strong with the sweet Australian/New Zealand short The Story of Percival Pilts. The film is wonderfully animated – looking as if a children's pop-up book came to life – and filmmakers Janette Goodey and John Lewis have carried out some great gags through imaginative visuals as we watch ambitious characters refuse to touch the ground. The next film, Tant de forest, is another solid step for The Animation Show of Shows containing observant, vibrant interpretations of deforestation and cumbersome machinery taking over the world.
As other films come and go, their impressions don't last outside of their creative visual shell – the content just doesn't measure up to the imaginations. I suppose this comes down to subjectivity. There are a lot of stories present that draw from real feelings and concerns that simply won't click for everyone because the audience might be missing those sense memories or emotions. For instance, as a tall individual, I related to Love in the Time of March Madness because co-director Melissa Johnson was sick and tired of people commenting on her height. It worked for me, but others may feel denied and disengaged by how selective it is. This problematic scenario is frequent in The Animation Show of Shows, as well as the occasional short suffering from overlength.
The Animation Show of Shows tepidly wins us back with some funny selections (Ascension is fantastic), and it's easy to see how much of these projects became a labour of love as we watch real-life interviews with some of the passionate filmmakers. However, there's an error in programming by ending the showcase with World of Tomorrow (directed by animation heavyweight Don Hertzfeldt). It's far too bizarre and drawn-out for a redemptive finale.
A project like this rarely gets the chance to screen theatrically. So, even though I'm lukewarm on The Animation Show of Shows, I still give it a mild recommendation. Catch a matinee and you'll be feeling fine.

Q: React - Predicate functional component I created a react functional component to wrap sections of code based on a predicate (instead of using ternary within JSX).
So, the component looks like this:
const PredicateWrapper = ({ children, iff, otherwise }) => (
    iff ? children : (otherwise || null)
);

And can be used like this:
<PredicateWrapper iff={students}>
   {students.map(student => <Student />)}
</PredicateWrapper>

The issue is that this throws an error "cannot read property map of null" if students is null. If I replace the students.map with some text, the text does not render, proving the wrapper is working, however, the point of the wrapper is to deal with cases where students is null, and I would expect it not to "enter" inside the wrapper.
How can I achieve something like this that allows for the inner code to not evaluate and throw runtime errors if iff is falsy?

A: Really interesting question!
I could be woefully wrong here but I think it's because students.map(student => <Student /> is still part of your parent component's render tree. So when React tries to build the parent component's tree, it's trying to execute that line which throws an error.
PredicateWrapper is mounted and resolved when the child components are recursed upon, which is when the iff would kick in - but that's on the second iteration.
For eg, if I do this, I don't get the error
const Child = ({ students }) => {
  return students.map(student => <Student />);
};

<PredicateWrapper iff={students}>
  <Child students={students} />
</PredicateWrapper>

A: Let's have a look at how the JSX will be compiled to JavaScript with the online Babel compiler:
const PredicateWrapper = ({ children, iff, otherwise }) =>
  iff ? children : otherwise || null;

const students = null;

const App = () =>
  React.createElement(
    PredicateWrapper,
    {
      iff: students,
    },
    students.map((student) => React.createElement(Student, null))
  );

Now you can see students.map will be executed and cause the error "Cannot read property map of null"
One possible implementation to achieve your goal is to use render props:

The term "render prop" refers to a technique for sharing code between
  React components using a prop whose value is a function.

const PredicateWrapper = ({ render, iff, otherwise = () => null }) =>
  iff ? render() : otherwise();

const StudentA = () => ;
const StudentB = () => ;

const students = [StudentA, StudentB];
//const students = null;

function App() {
  return (
    <PredicateWrapper
      iff={students}
      render={() => students.map(Student => <Student />)}
    />
  );
}

WHAT HAS ALL THAT HAMMERING BEEN ABOUT?
If you have driven past the museum in the last six months, you might have noticed a "boat" being built on the front lawn. Intended to replace the old Marie Therese which had adorned the museum grounds for years until it became unsafe, this newly constructed boat is based on the classic Chesapeake Bugeye. What exactly is a "bugeye?" A double-ended workboat developed after the Civil War to dredge oysters on the Chesapeake. Solomons is known as the bugeye capital of the world because so many of them were built here. Our own Wm. B. Tennison is a converted bugeye, her masts and sails were removed, then she was equipped with an engine and operated as a buyboat, and later adapted in the 1970's for passengers instead of oysters.
The new bugeye is being built by the Patuxent Small Craft Guild (PSCG), volunteer members who are responsible for maintaining the museum's small craft collection. PSCG is one of the clubs for museum members comprised of boat enthusiasts that enjoy building, restoring, sailing, and rowing traditional Chesapeake water craft. The bugeye design was chosen because it closely resembles the logo of the Calvert Marine Museum. Guild members paid for materials with funds from canoe raffles, boat building classes, toy boat building, and other activities, and have done 99% of the work under the direction of Boatwright George Surgent. Although designed to look like a traditional workboat, this bugeye is not seaworthy. Rather, it is designed to serve a variety of land-based functions and will be used to teach young children during summer camps, decorate the grounds, and even serve as a bar during concert season.
The "Guild Guys" as they are called, have had a great time working together on the boat every Tuesday and Saturday. Now that the boat is nearing completion, she needs to be named. The museum will offer the naming rights of the boat, for as long as it is in use, to the highest bidder. Show the 70,000 + visitors that come to the museum each year how much you love your wife, children, grandchildren, or even your dog and name the boat after them. If you are interested in more information or would like to place a bid, please call 410-326-2042, ext. 17. The name submitted by the winning bidder is subject to approval by the museum and must be appropriate for public display. This is a tax-deductible donation.
The museum is open daily from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Museum members and children under 5 are always admitted free. Admission is $7.00 for adults, $6.00 for seniors and military with valid I.D., and $2.00 for children ages 5 – 12. For more information about the museum, upcoming events, or membership, visit the website atwww.calvertmarinemuseum.com or call 410-326-2042. Become a fan on Facebook.

What's Better Than Edible Cookie Dough? Edible Cookie Dough Stuffed With Oreos
by Kristine Cannon
Jul 11, 2019 at 11:46 am EDT
Image: The Cookie Dough Café.
2019 must be a unicorn year in terms of snacks because not only are we blessed with two edible cookie dough products, but now a third has surfaced, and it's already incredibly popular. Allow us to introduce you to Cookie Dough Café's safe-to-eat, Oreo cookie dough, available only at Sam's Club.
Sam's Club recently began selling the eight-pack edible cookie dough that includes four, 3.5-ounce cups of mini chocolate chip-flavored and Oreo-flavored cookie dough. The price isn't too shabby, either, at $8.98 per multi-pack.
Have you spotted our multi packs @samsclub yet?
A post shared by The Cookie Dough Café® (@thecookiedoughcafe) on Jul 1, 2019 at 4:13pm PDT
Currently, the cookie dough product has a 4.5 rating on Sam's Club's website. Most rave about the product, saying it tastes just like cookie dough, while others admit it has a "funky after-taste." We'll take our chances.
Obviously, you'll want to reserve this treat on cheat days because each cup is 360 calories, has 12 grams of fat and 63 grams of carbs. We know, we know — way to bring the excitement down a few notches, but we'd feel remiss not to bring it up.
Enough about calories and carbs, though; let's talk more about the rest of the edible cookie dough options available right now in stores.
More recently in June, Nestlé Toll House released tubs of worry-free edible cookie dough. They're available in two different flavors, peanut butter chocolate chip monster and chocolate chip, and you can find Nestlé Toll House's cookie dough at Publix Super Market, Meijer, select Walmart stores and selected regional grocery chains — but only this month.

And back in April, Ben & Jerry's released a non-dairy, vegan-friendly cookie dough available as well as two other flavors, chocolate chip and peanut butter chocolate chip.
There you have it, folks. It's the summer of the safe, edible cookie dough, and we're here for it.
