B-town concerned over Amazon rainforest blaze
New Delhi (India), Aug 22 (ANI): Bollywood celebrities are voicing concerns over the raging fire in the lush rainforests of Amazon, home to a variety of flora and fauna.
Brazil has witnessed 72,843 fires in this year, half out of which were reported in the Amazon itself, according to CNN.
A host of celebrities are taking the lead to draw people's attention towards the blaze which has swallowed rainforest, famed for its biodiversity.
Alia Bhatt voiced her concern on Twitter and wrote, "The 'lungs of our planet' are burning! The Amazon Rainforest is home to about 3 Mn species of plantsanimals and 1 Mn indigenous people. It plays an important role in keeping the planet's carbon dioxide levels in check. We won't exist without it! SaveTheAmazon PrayforAmazonas."Anushka Sharma who is also an animal lover urged world media to pay more attention to the issue.
"The Amazon rainforest has been burning for weeks and we are only just finding out this!! This is such scary news! Amazon forests are the lungs of this already suffering planet and they are on fire now! I wish this got more importance from world media!!" she wrote on Instagram story.
The rich and dense forests in Amazon are known to supply about 20 per cent of oxygen to the Earth's atmosphere and seeing this source of life ablaze, actor Dia Mirza who is also a UN Goodwill Ambassador also expressed worry.
"Earth's lungs have been on fire for the last 16 days. 72000 have been recorded only this year in the Amazon. Climate Change in REAL," she wrote.
"We've lost our home to corporate greed... a phrase like 'climate change' which didn't feature in anyone's dictionary till a few decades ago, will now be responsible for our extinction," Richa Chaddha tweeted.
Other celebrities including Sonam Kapoor, Esha Gupta, Ishaan Khatter, Kajal Aggrawal, Bipasha Basu also asserted that 'Climate Change is real!'The wildfires took Twitter by storm with users sharing images of a heavy smoke arising out of the forest with the hashtag PrayForTheAmazon.
Proving that the situation is serious, a user from Sao Paulo which is a little over 1700 miles away from the forests, shared a picture of a glass filled with rainwater which was dark and dirty.

Obama says U.S. is safe, but "if you see something, say something"
President Obama sought to reassure Americans that the country is safe as travelers prepare to hit the roads and the sky for Thanksgiving trips.
The President said his intelligence and security teams have assured him there is no existing credible plot against the U.S., and officials are working "constantly" and "continually" to thwart attacks.
Obama—who was flanked by members of his national security team, including Attorney General Loretta Lynch, FBI Director James Comey, National Security Adviser Susan Rice and Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson—also touted the international coalition that is fighting the Islamic State of Iraq and Greater Syria (ISIS) abroad. In the wake of Obama's meeting with French President Francois Hollande on Tuesday, Obama said the U.S. is "stepping up" to further assist France in attacks against the terror network.
"We are stepping up pressure on ISIL where it lives and we will not let up," Obama said.
Obama emphasized that Americans should not be overwhelmed by fear of attacks at the holiday season begins.

Today, I Will Not Blame Anyone or Anything For What Appears To Be Lacking In My Life!
Blame, Blame, Blame… Oh how easy it is to always point the finger in a direction that leads away from you! As a society of people, we learn early on how to not take responsibility. It is always someone else's fault why something didn't work. If you don't get the job, it was the interviewer's fault. If you don't get the promotion it is your supervisor's fault, if your marriage fails it's your spouse's fault.
It is so easy to blame, to pass the buck, or to look elsewhere. What you fail to realize is that when you are blaming something else for your circumstances, you are actually living in a state of denial and you have cut off the energy and resources you need to succeed. For the moment, blaming feels good. It has a temporary soothing effect because it blinds you from seeing the truth which can be painful.
Blame is like a warm blanket that comes to comfort you when life has turned chilly and cold. However, the warmth that blame brings is short-lived. Sooner or later, when you have run out of people to blame, you will be left with the truth—you! (That is not to say things don't happen, but to stay in a perpetual state of blame in not healty.) In coaching sessions, I have often asked clients who are ready to run, give up, and leave everything behind because of… I ask "where are you going? Where ever you go, you are taking you with you." It is important to examine all the facts until you find the truth.
Today, if you are holding a grudge, depressed, or in despair because of what you believe is someone else's fault, get whatever help or support you need to let it go. Remember, blame is a deceiver that will hold you in lower level emotions. That is the flesh/ego mind in operation, fighting to keep you small and in a comfort zone that will not pay off in the long run. There is so much more of life to experience. So much joy to be shared, so much love to give. Put blame to shame, by exposing it and refusing to allow it a place in your life! | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 9,824 |

Paul Douglas Coffey (born June 1, 1961) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey defenceman who played for nine teams over 21 seasons in the National Hockey League (NHL). Known for his speed and scoring prowess, Coffey ranks second all-time among NHL defencemen in goals, assists, and points, behind only Ray Bourque. He won the James Norris Memorial Trophy as the NHL's best defenceman three times and was voted to eight end-of-season All-Star teams (four first-team and four second-team). He holds the record for the most goals by a defenceman in one season, 48 in 1985–86, and is the only defenceman to have scored 40 goals more than once, also doing it in 1983–84. He is also one of only two defencemen to score 100 points in a season more than one time, as he did it five times; Bobby Orr did it six times. Coffey holds or shares 33 NHL records in the regular season and playoffs.
During his NHL career, he played for the Edmonton Oilers, Pittsburgh Penguins, Los Angeles Kings, Detroit Red Wings, Hartford Whalers, Philadelphia Flyers, Carolina Hurricanes, Chicago Blackhawks, and Boston Bruins. He is a four-time Stanley Cup champion, winning three times with Edmonton and a fourth with Pittsburgh.
Coffey was born in Weston, Ontario, and grew up in Malton, Ontario. The city of Mississauga renamed Malton Arena to Paul Coffey Arena and Wildwood Park to Paul Coffey Park in a ceremony on September 23, 2016. In 2017, Coffey was named one of the 100 Greatest NHL Players in history.
Playing career
In his youth, Coffey played in the 1974 Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament with a minor ice hockey team from Mississauga.
Coffey was drafted sixth overall by the Edmonton Oilers in the 1980 NHL Entry Draft. He blossomed in the 1981–82 season, scoring 89 points and was named a second-team NHL All-Star. In the Oilers' first Stanley Cup-winning season, 1983–84, he became only the second defenceman in NHL history to score 40 goals in a season and added 86 assists to finish second in point scoring. He won his first James Norris Memorial Trophy in 1984–85 while posting 37 goals and 121 points. On December 26, 1984, in a game against the Calgary Flames, Coffey became the last defenceman in the 20th century to score four goals in one game. Coffey went on to post a historic post-season in the 1985 Playoffs, setting records for most goals (12), assists (25), and points (37) in one playoff year by a defenceman on the way to another Stanley Cup. He won the Norris Trophy again in 1985–86, while breaking Bobby Orr's record for goals in a season by a defenceman, scoring 48. His 138 points that year was second only to Orr (139 in 1970–71) among defencemen.
Coffey helped Edmonton to a third Cup in 1986–87, but the deciding game seven that year against the Philadelphia Flyers would be his last in an Oilers' uniform. After a monetary dispute with Edmonton's head coach and general manager Glen Sather, Coffey was traded to the Pittsburgh Penguins in 1987. Upon joining Pittsburgh, he changed his uniform number from 7 to 77, which he would wear for most of the rest of his career until his final season in Boston, where he wore 74.
Coffey played four and a half seasons with Pittsburgh. On December 22, 1990, Coffey became the second defenceman to record 1,000 points, doing so in a record-breaking 770 games. Coffey won a fourth Stanley Cup in 1990–91 with Pittsburgh. During the 1992 season Coffey passed Denis Potvin to become the career leader in goals, assists, and points by a defenceman. He was then traded to the Los Angeles Kings where he was reunited with former Oilers teammates Wayne Gretzky and Jari Kurri for parts of two seasons.
After his brief stint with Los Angeles, he was traded to the Detroit Red Wings where he played for three and a half seasons. In the lock-out shortened 1994–95 NHL season, Coffey led his team in scoring for the only time in his entire career, and was awarded the Norris Trophy for the third time. In the 1995 playoffs, he led all defencemen in shorthanded goals (2) while helping Detroit to the Stanley Cup Final. However, the favoured Red Wings were swept by the New Jersey Devils in four games. Coffey would then help the Red Wings to an astounding 62 regular season wins the following year, though the team would ultimately get eliminated by the Colorado Avalanche in the Western Conference Finals. During Game 1 of that series, Coffey accidentally scored on his own net after Colorado's Stephane Yelle attempted to pass the puck into the slot but it instead ended up on Coffey's stick.
After a falling out with Red Wings coach Scotty Bowman, Coffey was traded to the Hartford Whalers at the start of the 1996–97 season as part of a package to acquire Brendan Shanahan – a move that Coffey was unhappy with.
Coffey only played 20 games for the Whalers before being traded to the Flyers. He played for Philadelphia for a season and a half, reaching the 1997 Stanley Cup Final, his seventh, against his former team, Detroit. Coffey's Final series was not successful, being on ice for six of Detroit's goals and was in the penalty box for a seventh when the Flyers conceded a power-play goal, ending up with no points and being minus-2 and minus-3 in the first two games, and a hit from Darren McCarty in game two left Coffey sidelined for the rest of the series with a concussion.
After a very brief stint (10 games) with the Chicago Blackhawks, he was traded to the Carolina Hurricanes, where he played one and a half seasons. He played his final season in 2000–01 with the Boston Bruins.
During Coffey's last NHL season, Ray Bourque passed his career goal, assist and point records, and Bourque and Coffey both retired after the 2000–01 season. Coffey finished with 396 goals, 1135 assists, and 1531 points, and remains second only to Bourque in all-time career scoring by a defenceman. Coffey, however, averaged more points per game than did Bourque, having played 203 fewer games but lagging by only 48 points.
Paul Coffey was voted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2004, his first year of eligibility, and the Edmonton Oilers retired his uniform number 7 in 2005.
Post-playing career
While coaching a game for the Toronto Marlboros midget 'AAA' team in February 2014, Coffey was assessed a gross misconduct penalty for a "discriminatory slur". The Greater Toronto Hockey League investigated the misconduct penalty and Coffey was handed a three-game suspension. Coffey is a co-owner of the OJHL's Pickering Panthers.

Q: presentViewController gives Error This is my first question here so it might not be in the best format.
In my app I want to show the next screen, this one is working fine when it is alone, so there should be no problem here.
I am using the following code to make the transition
let dataViewController = self.storyboard?.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("Data")
self.presentViewController(dataViewController, animated: true, completion: nil)
on the second line self.presentViewController i get the error message:
Cannot convert the expression's type '(AnyObject?, animated:
BooleanLiteralConvertible, completion: NilLiteralConvertible)' to type
'BooleanLiteralConvertible'
The only answer I found, with one having the same error, was that the function is presentViewController and not presentedViewController. I have to admit that I had exactly that problem. But after fixing this error in the code the error message did not disappear.
Could anyone show me the right direction to search or does someone even got an answer.
A: You need to specify the expected type from instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier so use the following line when getting your view controller:
let dataViewController = self.storyboard?.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("Data") as UIViewController?
The 'as' keyword informs the compiler of what is the real type you expect in return (aka. casting).
instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier returns object of Type AnyObject. Since you didn't specify the type yourself AnyObject (equivalent toid in ObjC) will be used.
presentViewController expects a UIViewController instance and you give him AnyObject instead, hence the error

GlocallyConnected founders, Dr. Selin Nielsen and Sherry Mackay with the Turkish Consul General Los Angeles.
On January 18th, 2017, the University of California Riverside hosted Ms. Raife Gülru Gezer, the Turkish Consul General Los Angeles to speak about the attempted coup in Turkey and its aftermath.
Although Turkey has had multiple coups in the past years, the tragedy that occurred this past July cannot be undermined: 240 died and 2195 were wounded.
Gezer was "surprised" and she knew the situation was serious. She was assertive on her stance: it was a terrorist campaign spearheaded by Fethullah Terrorist Organization (FETO) to infiltrate the Turkish Republic and overthrow the president. She compared the coup to the 911 attack to highlight the sentiments toward solidarity and national security.
Ms. Raife Gülru Gezer speaks about national security in Turkey.
"People stood outside of tanks to advocate and uphold democracy," Gezer asserts. The people of Turkey did not want military intervention in 2016 and they were sure of that. In that note, Turkey was under State of Emergency to fight FETO and cleanse the infrastructure. As a result, more than 10,000 civil servants were discharged.
Amongst other nations, Turkey has been actively hosting refugees globally. Gezer makes a point that the country is facing many instability especially within its borders. Turkey is 600 miles away from Syria and 150 miles away from Iraq. Turkey is susceptible for internal and global conflict.
Ms. Raife Gülru Gezer says that Turkey is not the only nation battling the notions of "freedom vs security." An array of countries are experiencing the same thing on a global scale. However, as we continue to face the largest human displacement since World War II, let us not forget the urgency of accommodating the increasing numbers of refugees coming in these countries: they are asylum seekers in search of safety. What sort of protection and security do refugees receive in their host nations? As we have seen with the 2015 Paris attack, many pointed fingers at refugees. Many criticized border security and some concluded that nations are becoming too lax with their policies which potentially ushers in "terrorists." The "us vs them" culture is widely promulgated today and without proper legal protection, it is easy for refugees to be conveniently blamed.
Current correspondence suggests that there may be a lack of transparency within the UNHCR camps in Turkey that reveals conditions of refugees who were deported from Greece to Turkey: "A UNHCR representative in Athens wrote in a letter that the organisation has not been able to regularly access refugee camps in Turkey or monitor whether anyone sent there from Greece is given legal protection, according to a copy of the document that was published on the website of the NGO Statewatch" (EurActiv).
Despite the harsh winter conditions, hundreds of refugees in Serbia are refusing to go into camps because of fears of deportation: "They have deported many people from Bulgaria... We are scared. If they deport us to there, Bulgaria will deport us back to Afghanistan," says Akbar, an Afghan refugee(Aljazeera). Although the United Nations condemned the "pushback policy," deportation remain a constant worry for refugee.
We ended the talk with a Q&A session and one thing resonated: perspective is everything. To truly understand and address global humanitarian issues, perspective(s) have to be considered: a two way dialogue must be engaged. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 9,828 |
It's easy to walk or bike there along Old Coast Highway to Channel Drive and past the Santa Barbara Cemetery. A portion of the pathway is for bikers and pedestrians only and the views are to die for.
Butterfly is a lovely, quiet little stretch of beach girded by a stone sea wall just below the Biltmore Hotel and the Coral Casino. It's a narrow sandy beach that has a good shallow entrance for kids. There is a fair amount of seaweed in the water, and that's pretty typical for most beaches in this area. You can often see a pod of dolphins playing around and sometimes in the spring and fall, you can spot whales, but don't go looking for butterflies! I've heard lots of tales about why this beach is named Butterfly, but none that are official, so you can make up any story you want!
Butterfly Beach has no facilities, so you need to plan accordingly! I either pack my lunch the night before or grab a sandwich from Village Cheese & Wine in upper Montecito Village that day, although that does involve driving or riding my bike instead of walking. If you drive, there is usually plenty of unrestricted street parking if you arrive before noon.
I usually head out midmorning with my lunch and towel and a sweatshirt (just in case) and spend the rest of the day there. This is a place that mostly locals and a few students hang out at, and now and then, you might see someone you recognize! This is also a dog beach! Lots and lots of wonderful canines, and people are super, super careful to clean up after them.
If the tide is out you can walk west from Butterfly towards East Beach and the Cabrillo Bath House, passing the famous Clark Estate, once owned by the heiress Huguette Clark. Again, if the tide is out you can head east to Hammond's Point to watch the surfers and explore the tide pools. You can actually walk pretty far east, even to Summerland, where you can enjoy great expanses of quiet beach. But be sure to check to tide tables before you go so you don't get caught!
One of the nicest things about Butterfly is that you can snuggle in beside some large rocks, which will shield you from any wind that might kick up. The air in Santa Barbara can be really warm from the sun, but a breeze will carry that slight bit of ocean moisture which can be cool. Nestled among the rocks, soaking up the rays, I feel like a lazy lizard!
Butterfly is also one of the best beaches for sunsets as it is a south facing beach, so you can come early, stay all day, then toast the sunset with a glass of wine. Salud! | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 9,829 |

Hospitality Industry Seeks Silver Lining
Due to restrictions imposed on international travel and limited domestic travel, businesses in hospitality sectors are bound to adapt to the 'new normal' and localise their offerings

India. New Delhi. The ongoing lockdown in India and uncertainty on domestic and international travel has significantly impacted the hospitality sector. Aviation and tourism are the other big sectors facing this unpredictable crisis across the world. According to the Travel & Tourism Competitiveness Report 2019 published by the World Economic Forum, India ranked 34.
Hospitality sector contributing to the economy. The World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC), the global authority on travel and tourism, reveals that travel and tourism in India contributed 9.2% of the GDP and created around 42 million jobs in 2019. This is close to 8.0% of the total employment generated in the country.
The total contribution by the travel and tourism industry to India's GDP is expected to increase from $234.03 billion in 2017 to $492.21 billion in the year 2028. Total earnings from the sector in India is targeted to reach $50 billion by 2022.
Lockdown and job losses. One of the key challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic for the hospitality industry is balancing employment. Uninterrupted movement of people is one of the critical elements of the hospitality industry. With the changing dynamics due to the pandemic and travel restrictions, hotels are bound to pause their operations.
In an interview with Transcontinental Times, Rajeev Thakur, Director at Grassik Search Pvt Ltd said, "While latest figures are not available, there have been up to 80% layoffs (across certain hotel segments) & up to 50% salary cuts across hotels in India. The big 3 Indian hotel chains are not included as they have been very conservative in this regard."
Hyatt had globally announced the layoff of 1,300 employees by June 1. It has additionally asked about 120 employees of its Park Hyatt Chennai hotel to leave after the temporary shutdown of the hotel.
Travel majors, Thomas Cook and SOTC sacked close to 350 employees, with more job cuts likely at the companies.
When asked about the recent data available on the job losses faced by the industry, Navneet Singh, CEO Avsar HR Services quoted KPMG's recent report, "The Indian tourism and hospitality sector is aiming for a job loss of around 38 million (directly and indirectly) due to COVID 19. This makes 70% of the total workforce in this sector. It was the placement season when the pandemic hit India. This has resulted in a vague delay in hiring; deferred joining dates and a good percentage of offers have been pulled back."
Rajeev Thakur further stated, "Post massive lay-offs at the beginning of the pandemic, selective hiring is likely to begin by August/September when the pandemic is expected to reach its peak. With the current occupancy level down to an average of 11%, hiring scenario is bleak & will be restricted to big brands & chains. The smaller segment has or is in the process of closing down/selling off their business."
Road-map for revival. Due to restrictions imposed on international travel and limited domestic travel, businesses in hospitality sectors are bound to adapt to the 'new normal' and localise their offerings.
Sharing expert opinion about the recovery Thakur stated, "The revival strategy will involve introducing alternate customer segments like Isolation of seafarers returning from across the world, staycation options modelled around giving limited guests a unique experience, creating & advertising their guest safety strategies."
With new travel rules being amended by the government, the hospitality industry is optimistic about witnessing some signs of recovery. However, the journey ahead is full of qualms until a collaborated approach is taken by the industry players and government for saving this sinking industry.
"Security and screening practices, increased self-service, and technology adept places with medical facilities on-the-go would make guests feel safe and secure and increase their confidence. From the marketing standpoint, constant communication with loyal guests, domestic market, through digital marketing and social media during the lockdown and post the lockdown will help the industry revive," said Navneet.
While Anu Singh Bagal, CEO & MD at AB Consulting said, "Learning and Development, new ways of working with special focus on Hygiene, sanitization, cleaning and safety of Guests have to be embedded in employees. There should be a focus on changes in Customer Experience, the switch in customer perceptions, shifts in consumption patterns, quality asset management etc so that revival of the hospitality sector will be there in future."
The impact of these extreme market conditions is going to stay for long. To bring the hospitality industry back on its feet, a concrete roadmap to be drawn basis proper assessment of challenges. The industry is in dire need to seek some relaxations from the government. Reduced taxation on the hospitality industry, reduced costs of bar licenses, visa fees, and other associated costs by the government will increase the pace of recovery.

Miss "C" not to be missed!
Female drag entertainer that sings live and does numerous charatures with her own twists. Miss C hails from Toronto Canada and plays to sellout crowds.
Saw the gal that does the Motown music and she was wonderful. Unfortunately there were only a few of us in the audience that evening so she cut our show short. She is very talented and would've enjoyed seeing the full show.
There really isn't a bad seat in the theatre. The sound quality and acoustics were good for our show, and the drinks we enjoyed were well made too. A very pleasant venue to catch one of the many varied and talented acts that play here.
We went to a Drag Queen Show on Christmas Eve and it was a hoot! Lot's of fun, we will go to this new venue every year we visit, I hope it's a great success in PV.
We saw Steel Magnolias in their main stage.
They OPENED with "A Chorus Line"?
Saw thw play Steel Magnolias at ACT 11 and it is great. There is a lot of talent in this town. The seats were very comfy and the audio is exellent. Look forward to returning for more shows.
Get quick answers from Act II Entertainment Stages staff and past visitors.
Is the Nunsense show worth the price?
Sorry, have not seen this one either. The one we saw seemed to indicate quality in their performances. Setting is cozy.
Hi Zack! Our kids love drag queens and the culture. Do you know if these shows are "all ages?" Our kids are 13 and 16. Thanks!
it is difficult to answer because it is hard to know what is offensive and inappropriate to others. 13 & 16 year olds are exposed to lots of things today that would have been unheard of or at least very offensive in my day. I think your kids would have a blast but you might feel uncomfortable at times with what they are hearing. Drag Queens can be very vulgar but that is part of their persona. So it ultimately is your call, good luck and have fun.
Is the price on website in pesos or US dollars?? | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 9,832 |

MPS needs an overhaul; Milwaukee kids deserve better
By Shannon Whitworth February 18, 2015
A few days ago, I saw something I thought I'd never see. I was at a private voucher school in Milwaukee's inner city watching an assembly where faculty members were getting a couple hundred small children fired up for upcoming progress testing. The woman at the microphone asked the kids — most of whom were black — how many had reached their homework goals for the week. Ninety-five percent of them confidently shot their hands in the air. As one who believes in education as a vehicle to success and happiness, I was almost brought to tears.
These children can learn. These children want to learn. They need only for adults to provide the proper environment for them to do so.
In contrast, on the whole, the Milwaukee Public Schools system is failing our children in the inner city. This is not an indictment of any particular school or teacher. The system is performing so poorly that major changes, not just tweaks, are needed.
Since 1990, the Milwaukee Parental Choice Program has provided taxpayer-funded tuition vouchers for city children to attend private schools. Even decades after the program began, opponents wrongly continue to challenge it. In December, U.S. Reps. Mark Pocan and Gwen Moore unnecessarily requested a federal review of the Milwaukee program.
Choice proponents still have work to do. The long waiting lists at good schools leave some families vulnerable to bad schools. Those bad schools must be defunded and shut down. Without an aggressive effort to combat those who would profit off vulnerable children, we simply substitute one form of chaos for another and reinforce the impression that, at the end of the day, we really don't give a damn. That impression makes the choice program harder to implement and less apt to gain the widespread support that it deserves.
The fact is that while not perfect, the voucher program supports some of the best schools in the city, puts pressure on MPS to reform and does it for far less money than MPS. In 2012-'13, the per-pupil taxpayer cost to educate a child in MPS was $13,441; it was a maximum $6,442 in the voucher program.
We spend more per student in MPS than do the vast majority of major public school districts in the country. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel has reported that in 2009-'10, MPS spent more money per student than all but three major public school districts in the country. Yet the return on that investment has been generations of poorly educated, low-skilled, minority kids and a system that continually demands more resources (lest ye be considered a lowbrow, racist child-hater). The problem at MPS is not underfunding.
So, we spend more on public schools in Milwaukee than almost every other city, in a country that spends more than almost every other country. And what are the results? Certainly, not every school is a disaster, but far more than any intellectually honest person who gives a damn will tolerate: According to the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction, there were 78,516 students enrolled in MPS last year in 134 schools that are graded under the standard rating system. Of those children, 31,595 students were in 55 schools that "failed to meet expectations," according to DPI. That's 41% of the students. Another 23,954 children were in 49 schools that "meet few expectations." That's another 30%. All told, that's 55,549 students — a whopping 71% — enrolled in 104 MPS schools that either fail to meet or meet very few of the goals necessary to educate children.
How can we, as people of good conscience in Wisconsin, continue to prop up a system that sets up seven in 10 children to fail in life?
There are some people outside of Milwaukee who believe that the problem of the public schools in Milwaukee is just that — Milwaukee's problem. They are wrong. Think of Wisconsin as a big mall with Milwaukee as the hub store. People can shop at the small stores all they want, but if the hub dies, the mall dies. In the same way, the future of this state is tied to the future of its largest city. Like it or not, these children are our children.
By the same token, people in the inner city have to understand that the people out in the 'burbs really do care about Milwaukee children. As much as they've been told it's "us vs. them," this is not about Whitey coming into their neighborhood and trying to run everything because he's on a power trip. It's evident that an overhaul is necessary to get this education system back on track, and there aren't enough people within that system who will do what is necessary to reform it.
According to the Milwaukee Business Journal's Full Salary Database of MPS, 137 administrators had salaries over $100,000 last year. Common sense tells you that a school system that has scores of administrators making six figures while teachers have to buy basic classroom supplies out of their own pockets is flat-out broken.
So what can be done? I posit that if you've spent the last few decades doing it your way and have failed, you are disqualified from having input going forward. There are too many powerful people invested in maintaining the status quo. An overhaul is long past due.
Of one thing I am convinced: Milwaukee children can learn and want to learn. The reason they are not learning is adults are failing them. The question is whether we will allow this to continue. Wisconsin's future will depend on the answer.

Q: Pandas left join DataFrames by two columns Could you please help me with joining two DataFrames.
I have two DataFrames.
df1:
index val1 val2
--------------------
1 str1 abc1
2 str2 abc2
3 str3 abc3
4 str4 abc9
5 str5 abc4
df2:
index val2
------------
1 abc1
2 abc2
4 abc3
5 abc4
9 abc5
I need to create a DataFrame based on the previous two with a left join by two columns. Columns index and val2 have the same names in both DataFrames. The result of df3 should look like this:
index val1 val2 val3
----------------------------
1 str1 abc1 1
2 str2 abc2 1
3 str3 abc3 NaN
4 str4 abc9 NaN
5 str5 abc4 1
Indexes from df2 that are not present in df1 should be dropped, if an index in df1 has the same val2 as in df2 then 1 should be added to a new column val3, else: NaN.
Huge thanks in advance!
A: This is one way. As below, I recommend you use Boolean rather than float for val3, as this what the series represents.
# merge and set index
res = df1.merge(df2, how='left').set_index('index')
# map val2 from df2
res['val3'] = df2.set_index('index')['val2']
# check for equality of val3 and val2
res['val3'] = res['val3'] == res['val2']
print(res)
val1 val2 val3
index
1 str1 abc1 True
2 str2 abc2 True
3 str3 abc3 False
4 str4 abc9 False
5 str5 abc4 True
A: You can try using join (default is left) with rsuffix so that column name for df2 is renamed with suffix. Then, using np.where to check if column value matches and assigning value for val3 column.
import numpy as np
df = df1.join(df2, rsuffix='_df2')
df['val3'] = np.where(df.val2 == df.val2_df2, 1, np.NaN)
del df['val2_df2']
print(df)
Result:
val1 val2 val3
index
1 str1 abc1 1.0
2 str2 abc2 1.0
3 str3 abc3 NaN
4 str4 abc9 NaN
5 str5 abc4 1.0
A: Since you want to merge on a combination of indices and columns you can either add them all to the index, or reset_index before the merge. We'll also assign the val3 column to df2 so it gets merged over.
(df1.reset_index().merge(
df2.reset_index().assign(val3 = 1), on=['index', 'val2'], how='left')
.set_index('index'))
Outputs:
val1 val2 val3
index
1 str1 abc1 1.0
2 str2 abc2 1.0
3 str3 abc3 NaN
4 str4 abc9 NaN
5 str5 abc4 1.0
If 'index' is just a column and not the index, it's as simple as specifying two keys to merge on.
df1.merge(df2.assign(val3 = 1), on=['index', 'val2'], how='left')
Outputs:
index val1 val2 val3
0 1 str1 abc1 1.0
1 2 str2 abc2 1.0
2 3 str3 abc3 NaN
3 4 str4 abc9 NaN
4 5 str5 abc4 1.0

Don't skip treatments when you start getting Botox done. Ensuring you get your Botox treatments on a regular schedule will mean that the results have a higher likelihood of lasting longer. Muscles will begin to train themselves to react less and less, ensuring that the results of the Botox will retain for longer.
Conversely, make sure that you don't go overboard with your treatments! Never get too much Botox done, and avoid going for "touch-ups" if you feel that the Botox isn't lasting as long as it should. Muscles will become resistant to the Botox if they are introduced to it too often.
If you're trying to get the most out of your Botox treatments, try to schedule your next injection just before your previous treatment wears off. What this might do is kick your body into overdrive and cause the next Botox treatment to last longer than usual!
You and your doctor will need to work together to find out how much Botox you'll need to have a successful treatment. Each body reacts to the injections differently, and every person may need a different amount. If you notice that the effects wear off quickly, talk with your doctor and ask if a higher or lower dosage might be right for you.
Slather on the sunblock before heading outside to preserve your wrinkle-free look. Not only will this help maintain your Botox results, it will keep your skin healthy!
Keeping up on continual skin care will ensure your younger-looking skin stays younger-looking for longer. Make sure to use lotion at least 1-2 times a day, and drink plenty of water to stay hydrated.
Studies show that Botox reacts directly with the levels of zinc in our bodies, and can't function correctly unless there's enough zinc present. Many people have a slight zinc deficiency, so it's suggest you begin taking zinc supplements when beginning regular Botox treatments to prolong the anti-aging effects.
Many people are tempted to constantly look at themselves in the mirror after having Botox or derma fillers done, but this isn't recommended. What ends up happening is that patients will frown, squint, and furrow their brows when they go to check themselves out in the mirror – this invigorates the muscles effected by the Botox, causing them to lose their effect quicker!
Lastly, be sure not to stress over how you look after your Botox treatments. Dermal fillers are something that a large number of the populace uses as they age in order to maintain an attractive look, so there's no reason to be self-conscious or worry. Besides, worrying will increase the chance for wrinkles! Eliminate worry, and you'll eliminate wrinkles. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 9,837 |
Contrapunctus XI is a triple fugue based on the inverted subjects of Contrapunctus VIII.
The inverted version is also used in this fugue and will be identified as S1 .
The order of the voices is alto, tenor, bass and soprano ( c1a-). This order is the inversion of the order used in the first exposition. The last voice presents the inverted subject (S2 ).
The inverted version will also be used and will be identified as S3 .
We will divide the section in two parts: a first part (measures 89 to 144) where Bach uses S2 and S3 in original and inverted forms alternating with a few presentations of S1 and a second one where the 3 subjects are simultaneously used.
We show only those cases where S3 appears in combination with the other subjects and we have not included all presentation because of numerous variations.
At the end of measure 145 begins the first presentation of the 3 subjects (in Contrapunctus VIII the presentation of the 3 subjects is in measure 147).
Subjects S1 are inverted at the tenth in measure 164.
The following image resumes the ways in which Bach combines the 3 subjects starting at measure 145. None of the voices repeats a subject and only the tenor presents all 3 subjects. Bach also changes the order in which each subject starts. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 9,838 |
Valentino Rossi moved two races clear at the top of the championship with his fifth win of the season today, enjoying an easy ride home after his closest rival Casey Stoner crashed out on lap seven.
Rossi, starting from second, lost some time at the first corner getting past John Hopkins and for the first couple of laps Stoner looked in danger of clearing off, but the Italian soon found his rhythm and was gradually making up time on the Australian when he saw him slide off into the gravel. The pair had already opened out an impressive gap from the chasing pack and Rossi was left to race the remaining 15 laps alone and unchallenged, eventually coming home 15 seconds clear of Toni Elias. The seven-time world champion's 67th premier-class victory takes him within one race of the all-time premier-class record, held by his compatriot Giacomo Agostini.
Rossi is now 50 points clear of Stoner with Pedrosa 15 points off in third, whilst Lorenzo's six points see him remain fourth in the standings, ten points ahead of Andrea Dovizioso.
Fiat Yamaha Team rookie Jorge Lorenzo finished a creditable tenth in Brno today, making up seven places after starting last on the grid. The Spaniard made the most of the tools he had available to pass several riders, including two on the last lap, and hangs onto his fourth place in the championship as a result. His team-mate Valentino Rossi won his fifth race of the season and was saved another tense battle with Casey Stoner after the Australian crashed out of the lead on the seventh lap.
Lorenzo was able to pass Colin Edwards early on and he then gradually settled into a rhythm and passed both James Toseland and Dani Pedrosa to take 12th. During the middle part of the race his lap times gradually improved and brought him closer to the next group and he was rewarded with an exciting final lap, which saw him pass first Sylvain Guintoli and then John Hopkins on the line to take tenth.
Six points for Lorenzo see him stay ten points ahead of Andrea Dovizioso in fourth place in the championship, whilst Rossi is now 50 points clear of Stoner. The Fiat Yamaha Team now have two days of testing before they head to the next round at Misano in Italy in two week's time.
Tech 3 Yamaha's James Toseland and Colin Edwards raced to top 15 results in today's Czech Republic GP.
In front of a record crowd of over 146,000 fans at a cool and cloudy Brno, the 22-lap race proved to be a tough challenge for Toseland and Edwards, who both gave their maximum effort in difficult circumstances to claim 13th and 14th places respectively.
Starting from the back row of the grid, Toseland made his customary good start, gaining two places on the first lap. The 27-year-old once again showed his never-say-die attitude, despite some traction issues as he scored points for the ninth time in 11 races.
Edwards was one place further back as he too encountered some grip issues in an effort to maintain his pursuit of Toseland, as the Tech 3 duo fought closely in the opening stages. The American still remains firmly in the hunt for fourth place in the world championship, lying 18-points behind fellow Yamaha rider Jorge Lorenzo with six races remaining.
Tech 3 Yamaha also remains in contention for a top four finish in the Team World Championship, and is still the leading non-factory team in the standings heading to the Misano round on August 31. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 9,839 |

The rigorous and relevant four-course PLTW Biomedical Science sequence allows students to investigate the roles of biomedical professionals as they study the concepts of human medicine, physiology, genetics, microbiology, and public health. Students engage in activities like investigating the death of a fictional person to learn content in the context of real-world cases. They examine the structures and interactions of human body systems and explore the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of disease, all while working collaboratively to understand and design solutions to the most pressing health challenges of today and the future. Each course in the Biomedical Science sequence builds on the skills and knowledge students gain in the preceding courses. Schools offer the three PLTW Biomedical Science foundation courses within a period of three academic years and may also offer the capstone course.
For more information about PLTW Biomedical Science, please visit the PLTW website.
To help prepare all students for the global workforce, the College Board and Project Lead The Way (PLTW) have partnered on a program to encourage student participation in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) courses and build their interest in STEM degrees and careers. The program leverages the success of the College Board's Advanced Placement Program (AP) and Project Lead The Way's applied learning programs.
To learn more about about the AP + PLTW program, please visit the AP + PLTW website.
Students examine the interactions of human body systems as they explore identity, power, movement, protection, and homeostasis. Exploring science in action, students build organs and tissues on a skeletal Maniken®; use data acquisition software to monitor body functions such as muscle movement, reflex and voluntary action, and respiration; and take on the roles of biomedical professionals to solve real-world medical cases.
Students follow the life of a fictitious family as they investigate how to prevent, diagnose, and treat disease. Students explore how to detect and fight infection; screen and evaluate the code in human DNA; evaluate cancer treatment options; and prevail when the organs of the body begin to fail. Through cases, students learn about a range of interventions related to immunology, surgery, genetics, pharmacology, medical devices, and diagnostics. Notes: The grade for this course is weighted. Note: The grade for this course is weighted.
In the final course of the PLTW Biomedical Science sequence, students build on the knowledge and skills gained from previous courses to design innovative solutions for the most pressing health challenges of the 21st century. Students address topics ranging from public health and biomedical engineering to clinical medicine and physiology. They have the opportunity to work on an independent project with a mentor or advisor from a university, medical facility, or research institution.

Q: Initializing class using { * this } It was suggested by a team member that using an intializer like this:
return Demo{ *this };
was better than:
return Demo(*this);
Assuming a simple class like this:
class Demo {
public:
int value1;
Demo(){}
Demo(Demo& demo) {
this->value1 = demo.value1;
}
Demo Clone() {
return Demo{ *this };
}
};
I admit to having not seen the { *this } syntax before, and couldn't find a reference that explained it well enough that I understood how the two options differed. Is there a performance benefit, a syntax choice, or something more?
A: This is just another syntax for calling your copy constructor (actually, for calling a constructor taking what is in the braces as parameters, in this case, your copy constructor).
Personally, I would say it's worse than before simply because it does the same... it just relies on C++ 11. So it adds dependencies without benefits. But your mileage may vary. You will have to ask your colleague.
A: I must admit that I'd never seen that before.
WikiPedia says this about C++11 initializer lists (search for "Uniform initialization"):
C++03 has a number of problems with initializing types. There are several ways to initialize types, and they do not all produce the same results when interchanged. The traditional constructor syntax, for example, can look like a function declaration, and steps must be taken to ensure that the compiler's most vexing parse rule will not mistake it for such. Only aggregates and POD types can be initialized with aggregate initializers (using SomeType var = {/stuff/};).
Then, later, they have this example,
BasicStruct var1{5, 3.2}; // C type struct, containing only POD
AltStruct var2{2, 4.3}; // C++ class, with constructors, not
// necessarily POD members
with the following explanation:
The initialization of var1 behaves exactly as though it were aggregate-initialization. That is, each data member of an object, in turn, will be copy-initialized with the corresponding value from the initializer-list. Implicit type conversion will be used where necessary. If no conversion exists, or only a narrowing conversion exists, the program is ill-formed. The initialization of var2 invokes the constructor.
They also have further examples for the case where initialiser list constructors were provided.
So based on the above alone: For the plain-old-data struct case, I don't know if there is any advantage. For a C++11 class, using the {} syntax may help avoid those pesky scenarios where the compiler thinks you're declaring a function. Maybe that is the advantage your colleague was referring to?
A: Sorry for comming late to this discussion but I want to add some points about the different types of initialization not mentioned by others.
Consider:
struct foo {
foo(int) {}
};
foo f() {
// Suppose we have either:
//return 1; // #1
//return {1}; // #2
//return foo(1); // #3
//return foo{1}; // #4
}
Then,
#1, #3 and #4 might call the copy/move constructor (if RVO isn't performed) whereas #2 won't call the copy/move constructor.
Notice that the most popular compilers do perform RVO and thus, in practice, all return statements above are equivalent. However, even when RVO is performed a copy/move constructor must be available (must be accessible to f and defined but not as deleted) for #1, #3 and #4 otherwise the compiler/linker will raise an error.
Suppose now that the constructor is explicit:
struct foo {
explicit foo(int) {}
};
Then,
#1 and #2 don't compile whereas #3 and #4 do compile.
Finally, if the constructor is explicit and no copy/move constructor is available:
struct foo {
explicit foo(int) {}
foo(const foo&) = delete;
};
none of the return statements compile/link.
A: Your colleague is missing a trick with "uniform initialization", there is no need for the type-name when it is known. E.g. when creating a return value. Clone could be defined as:
Demo Clone() {
return {*this};
}
This will call the Demo copy constructor as needed. Whether you think this is better or not, is up to you.
In GOTW 1 Sutter states as a guideline:
Guideline: Prefer to use initialization with { }, such as vector v = { 1, 2, 3, 4 }; or auto v = vector{ 1, 2, 3, 4 };, because it's more consistent, more correct, and avoids having to know about old-style pitfalls at all. In single-argument cases where you prefer to see only the = sign, such as int i = 42; and auto x = anything; omitting the braces is fine. …
In particular, using braces can avoid confusion with:
Demo d(); //function declaration, but looks like it might construct a Demo
Demo d{}; //constructs a Demo, as you'd expect
The brace syntax will use a constructor that takes an initializer list first, if one exists. Otherwise it will use a normal constructor. It also prevents the chance of the vexing parse listed above.
There is also different behaviour when using copy initialization. With the standard way
Demo d = x;
The compiler has the option to convert x to a Demo if necessary and then move/copy the converted r-value into w. Something similar to Demo d(Demo(x)); meaning that more than one constructor is called.
Demo d = {x};
This is equivalent to Demo d{x} and guarantees that only one constructor will be called. With both assignments above explicit constructors are cannot be used.
As mentioned in the comments, there are some pitfalls. With classes that take an initializer_list and have "normal" constructors can cause confusion.
vector<int> v{5}; // vector containing one element of '5'
vector<int> v(5); // vector containing five elements.
A: This is known as list-initialization. The idea is that in C++11, you will have uniform initialization across the board, and avoid ambiguity where the compiler might think you may be making a function declaration (also known as a vexing parse). A small example:
vec3 GetValue()
{
return {x, y, z}; // normally vec(x, y, z)
}
One reason you would want to avoid list-initialization is where your class takes an initializer list constructor that does something different than you would expect.

Q: Running Flower using Supervisor Am having challanges starting flower using supervisor.
The following command in my development environment works on the console
celery --app=celery_conf.celeryapp flower --conf=flowerconfig
but moving to production to use supervisor am getting all sorts of errors
/supervisor/conf.d/flower.conf
[program:flower]
command=/opt/apps/venv/my_app/bin/celery flower --app=celery_conf.celeryapp --conf=flowerconfig
directory=/opt/apps/my_app
user=www-data
autostart=true
autorestart=false
redirect_stderr=true
stderr_logfile=/var/log/celery/flower.err.log
stdout_logfile=/var/log/celery/flower.out.log
With the above configuration, there is no error but all celery does is give me a help like output. Its like it doesn't acknowledge the variables passed.
Type 'celery <command> --help' for help using a specific command.
Usage: celery <command> [options]
Show help screen and exit.
Options:
-A APP, --app=APP app instance to use (e.g. module.attr_name)
-b BROKER, --broker=BROKER
url to broker. default is 'amqp://guest@localhost//'
--loader=LOADER name of custom loader class to use.
etc..
etc..
etc...
Supervisor on the other hand throws INFO exited: flower (exit status 64; not expected)
I have other supervisor initiated apps using celery_beat and using the configuration file samples on github and they are working well with the same directory paths as above
The flowerconfig is as below:
flowerconfig.py
# Broker settings
BROKER_URL = 'amqp://guest:guest@localhost:5672//'
# RabbitMQ management api
broker_api = 'http://guest:guest@localhost:15672/api/'
#Port
port = 5555
# Enable debug logging
logging = 'INFO'
Solution:
Well, not really a solution so I haven't put it as an answer. Turned out there was a problem with my virtual environment. So I removed flower and installed again using pip3.4 as am on python3.4
Something to note though is that for flower to use your flowerconfig file, you need to add a director=/path/to/your/celery_config/folder/ entry in supervisor's /etc/supervisor/conf.d/flower.conf file else flower will launch with default settings.
/etc/supervisor/conf.d/flower.conf
; ==================================
; Flower: For monitoring Celery
; ==================================
[program:flower]
command=/opt/apps/venv/my_app/bin/celery flower --app=celery_conf.celeryapp --conf=flowerconfig
directory=/opt/apps/my_app/celery_conf #this is key as my configuration file was in the `celery_conf` folder
user=www-data
autostart=true
autorestart=false
redirect_stderr=true
stderr_logfile=/var/log/celery/flower.err.log
stdout_logfile=/var/log/celery/flower.out.log
Thanks.
A: Your supervisor is unable to locate celeryapp. My be your supervisor configuration file supervisor.conf is in different path.
You can pass directory option to supervisor process. So you can try
[program:flower]
directory = /opt/apps/venv/my_app/
command = celery --app=celery_conf.celeryapp flower
This starts a new flower instance.
Also note celery conf and flower conf are different.

Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers (GRSE) has been selected as the successful bidder for development and delivery of new Survey Vessels for the Indian Navy.
With a total order value of Rs24.35bn ($329.52m), the contract for design, construction and supply of a fleet of four large Survey Vessels has been awarded by the Indian Ministry of Defence (MoD).
The first vessel is slated to be delivered to the Indian Navy within three years, while the remaining three will be delivered within an interval of six months for each ship.
GRSE has been given 54 months for the completion of the project from the date of signing of the contract.
Once complete, the 110m-long Survey Vessel will have a deep displacement of 3,300t with the capability of full-scale coastal and deepwater hydrographic survey of ports and harbours, approaches and determination of navigational channels / routes.
"The 110m-long Survey Vessel will have a deep displacement of 3,300t with the capability of full-scale coastal and deepwater hydrographic survey of ports and harbours."
In addition, the four ships will be deployed by the navy to perform surveys of maritime limits up to Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) / extended continental shelf, as well as for the collection of oceanographic and geophysical data for defence applications.
The fleet will also operate in secondary roles of performing limited search-and-rescue and ocean research missions, in addition to operating as a hospital / casualty holding ship.
Vessels will be constructed by the company according to Classification Society Rules and Naval Ship Regulations. They will be fitted with advanced hydrographic equipment and sensors, including a Hello Hanger to accommodate one advanced light helicopter.
Vessels will also conform to the latest Marine Pollution (MARPOL) Standards of the International Maritime Organisation (IMO).
In April 2016, the request for proposal was issued to four public sector undertaking (PSU) shipyards, which are GRSE, Goa Shipyard Limited (GSL), Hindustan Shipyard Limited (HSL) and Cochin Shipyard Limited (CSL), in addition to two Indian private shipyards.

Die Cetacea Rocks sind eine Gruppe von Rifffelsen vor der Westküste des Grahamlands im Norden der Antarktischen Halbinsel. Sie liegen nordöstlich von Hoseason Island im Palmer-Archipel.
Teilnehmer der Fünften Französischen Antarktisexpedition (1908–1910) unter der Leitung des Polarforschers Jean-Baptiste Charcot kartierten diese Felsen. Das UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee benannte sie 1960 nach der Säugetierordnung Cetacea (Wale), da die Felsen in einem der Hauptverbreitungsgebiete der Wale in antarktischen Gewässern liegen.

When Awabot brought the BeamPro and the Beam+ to the attention of Laurent and Orange, the Innovation Group immediately understood the concept of the devices. While Orange's core competency is telecoms, they have always been part of innovation even back when digital cinema was simply a gleam in Francis Ford Coppola's eye. Rather than building such a device with the Suitable partnership, the Ub-y comes to the customer sooner without the hardware ramp-up Orange may have had to ensure.
But what really sold it to Orange France were the incredibly positive reactions from focus groups on the use of the Beams in both professional and home situations.
"It's not about the technology, its about the experience of replicating a person in the remote location – people want to communicate, not worry about the technology. Via the Ub-y, you can emote much more than you could via a screen, tablet or any other teleconferencing product." said Laurent.
Laurent believes that the two main opportunities/user cases are going to be 1) in the home with the Ub-y (Beam+) where families will be able to interact more effectively by "being there" – and allowing the "kilometers" to disappear – and 2) in the professional setting where companies will have Ub-ys (BeamPros) available for easy access – as easy as using Skype to connect with others.
The addition of the Ub-y to the product line of Orange is very much in line with Orange's core offerings – promoting the power and security of the Orange network around the world. Plans include the embedding of an Orange 4G dongle within the Ub-y to both support wifi and Orange's mobile network. And, for the security and privacy conscious, Orange is focusing on offering assured privacy of the connection between pilots and their Ub-y on the Orange network.
As for when it will be available, the only thing Laurent would commit to was "2015" – whether that is January 2015 or Q1 2015 is up to the distribution partners and the provider (Suitable). But when launched, it will be showcased in Orange flagship stores throughout France. In addition, Orange is working with their European partners to have the Ub-y available in their locations some time in 2015.

Two North Escambia residents are facing multiple charges after numerous drugs, items of drug paraphernalia, weapons and ammunition were found in a vehicle at a Davisville convenience store.
Chad Andrew Giddins, age 41 of McDavid, remained in the Escambia County Jail Thursday morning with bond set at $41,000, while 42-year old Tonya Ladora Foster of Cantonment was jailed with bond set at $20,000.
An Escambia County Sheriff's deputy on patrol in the area of West Highway 4 and Sandy Hollow Road near Davisville reported recognizing Giddins as the driver of a pickup truck. Knowing that Giddin had an outstanding warrant, the deputy turned around and caught up with the pickup on Highway 97 at a gas station at the intersection of Highway 97 and Nokomis Road.
The deputy advised Giddins that he was under arrest and grabbed him by the large camouflage jacket he was wearing. Giddins refused to place his hands behind his back, according to an arrest report, even when the deputy placed his taser on his back. The taser was never deployed. With no backup in the immediate area, the deputy requested assistance in handcuffing Giddins from a local farmer that was at the store. The deputy located a cigarette box containing two plastic bags of marijuana in Giddins' pocket.
Another deputy arrived on scene at took a female passenger in the pickup into custody. According to the arrest report, Foster was observed pushing a black bag under the pickup. The bag reportedly contained two bags containing marijuana and eight small bags of methamphetamine.
Inside the truck, deputies found multiple pills with no marking that will be submitted to the FDLE crime lab for analysis, a loaded .17 caliber rifles and scope with a chambered round ready to fire, a sunglasses case with a a crack pipe, over 130 rounds of .22 caliber ammo, two 20 gauge shotgun shells, four meth pipes, 30 rounds of .17 caliber ammunition, at least two small bags of crystal methamphetamine, digital scales, syringes, and other drug paraphernalia.
Giddins was charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, possession of ammunition by a convicted felon, possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute, possession of methamphetamine, possession of marijuana, possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, possession of drug paraphernalia, and knowingly driving with a suspended license.
Foster was charged with possession of marijuana, possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute, possession of a control substance , possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Giddins was also charged with fleeing and eluding pole with lights or siren activated, attaching a tag not assigned to the vehicle and driving with a suspended license for an earlier incident on November 2 in Walnut Hill. A deputy spotted Giddins in the Ernest Ward Middle school zone on Highway 97. The deputy followed his as he turned into a residence in the 700 block of North Highway 99. The deputy activated his lights and siren, but Giddins accelerated away,, around the residence and back onto North Highway 99, eluding the deputy.

Three people were displaced when fire damaged a home near Walnut Hill late Wednesday night.
The fire was reported just before 11:30 p.m. in the 6800 block of Pine Forest Road, just north of Garrett Road. Firefighters arrived to find smoke coming from the 1500 square foot wood frame home. The fire was quickly brought under control.
Initial reports indicated that the fire may have started in a window air conditioner.
The three adults living in the home were offered temporary assistance by the American Red Cross. One was evaluated on the scene by Escambia County EMS for a minor injury but not transported to a hospital. There were no other injuries reported.
The Walnut Hill, McDavid, Molino and Century stations of Escambia Fire Rescue and the Atmore Fire Department responded to the call, along with Escambia County EMS and the Escambia County Sheriff's Office.
Former Tate High football coach and church youth leader Charlie Maybern Hamrick has been found guilty on six counts of child sexual assault and sentenced to six life sentences. The abuse incidents occurred at a Cantonment church and in the Tate High School locker room.
One life felony count of lewd and lascivious molestation was filed over a February 2016 incident at the Harvest Christian Center on Muscogee Road in Cantonment. The male victim, who was 12 or younger, told investigators at The Gulf Coast Kids House that a group of kids were playing hide and go seek outside at the church. The victim was in Hamrick's lap as the "seeker' while the other children went to hide. Hamrick placed his hand inside the victim's pants and underwear and touched him inappropriately, the victim said. The abuse happened only one time and he and his family stopped attending the church a short time later.
Authorities said Hamrick was a leader of the "Royal Rangers" at the church.
Hamrick allegedly performed a physical exam on a student at Tate High School. A student told investigators that he had waited too long to do his physical to play football at Tate during August 2014. Hamrick allegedly took the student into his office in the locker room and felt around his midsection but never touched his genital area. The victim said Hamrick never said anything inappropriate to him and did not wear gloves during the exam.
Another Tate student alleged that Hamrick performed a physical exam on his so that he could play tennis. He allegedly told the boy's mother that he was qualified to conduct the physical because he was a paramedic. The male student told investigators that Hamrick did the physical in the Tate locker room. Hamrick had him pull his pants down and performed a hernia exam, including contact with private areas. The victim said Hamrick never touch him inappropriately except during the physical exam.
And another student said he was attending football camp at Tate when Hamrick performed a hernia exam on him as part of a physical. He told investigators that Hamrick touched him for 4-5 minutes and it was unlike any exam he had experienced at a doctor's office. The victim, who is currently an inmate at the Escambia County Jail, said Hamrick performed 10-15 "follow-up physicals" during the football season.
Hamrick was paid a supplement as a football coach at Tate High School from August 1, 2012, to September 14, 2015. He was not a teacher and did not have students under his watch in a classroom. Superintendent Malcolm Thomas said previously that Hamrick passed all background checks at the time because he had not been charged with any crime.

Thursday is the last day of the highly active, deadly and destructive 2017 Atlantic hurricane season, but most Floridians will feel its impact for years.
Politicians are still scrambling to determine how much of the next state budget will be dedicated to covering losses that may or may not be paid by the federal government.
The massive hit from Hurricane Irma caused direct physical and emotional impacts in Florida, and ripples continue to come ashore as thousands of people flee Hurricane Maria's devastation in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Lawmakers are also looking at regulatory changes for nursing homes and debris-removal companies, as well as changes dealing with issues such as evacuation lanes, shelters and a potential state fuel reserve.
Gov. Rick Scott, who was a constantly visible face before and after Irma struck, said Monday while in Tampa that he'd like to boost the availability of propane for generators before the 2018 storm season.
Visit Florida spent $5 million to tell potential tourists that the state quickly reopened after Hurricane Irma, even as scars from the September storm remain etched across agricultural fields and the Florida Keys.
Meanwhile, 72 deaths in Florida are currently attributed to the Irma, according to reports supplied by county medical examiners to the state Division of Emergency Management.
The fatalities include 14 cases involving carbon monoxide, eight drownings, four electrocutions and 14 incidents involving blunt-force injuries. Deaths occurred statewide, with six in the Florida Keys, five in Duval County and even two in Leon County, which sustained relatively little damage from Irma compared to other parts of the state.
The numbers don't include 14 deaths of residents of a Broward County nursing home — 12 were recently ruled homicides — that have caused Scott to push for new rules requiring nursing homes and assisted-living facilities to have emergency generators.
Members of the House Select Committee on Hurricane Response and Preparedness will meet Monday and discuss potential storm-related recommendations for the 2018 legislative session, which starts in January. Among the possibilities are legislation about housing, agriculture tax relief, hardening for emergency-operations centers and management of shelters.
Hurricane Hermine in 2016 was Florida's first direct hit from a hurricane in more than a decade. But Irma, which made landfall Sept. 10 in Monroe and Collier counties and traveled up the state, was far more destructive.
Mark Wool, the warning coordination meteorologist at the National Weather Service's Tallahassee office, called 2017 the busiest for the Atlantic since 2005.
Emergency-management officials each year stress preparing for hurricanes. But Wool said the flatness of Florida requires additional vigilance by coastal communities against flooding, as the state is also experiencing a period of rising sea levels.
As of Nov. 13, more than 830,000 property owners across the state had filed claims for $5.88 billion in insured losses from Irma, which was one of four storms — Tropical Storm Emily, Irma, Hurricane Nate and Tropical Storm Philippe — that had a direct impact on the state during the six-month hurricane season that closes Thursday.
Overall, there were 17 named storms this year. The most devastation came from Harvey's Aug. 26 landfall in Texas, Irma's double landfall and run-up of Florida starting Sept. 10, and Maria's destruction of utilities and other infrastructure across Puerto Rico on Sept. 20.
While spinning in the Atlantic, Irma reached maximum sustained winds of 185 mph, a pace it held for a record 37 consecutive-hours. Nate also set a record in October for the fastest forward motion recorded for a hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico.
Irma also set new benchmarks for evacuees — an estimated 6.5 million people left their homes in advance of the storm — and power outages and restoration crews. Florida Power & Light, for example, reported 90 percent of its customers — about 10 million people — were without power on average 2.3 days.
The agriculture industry has put a preliminary estimate of $2.5 billion on its losses from the storm.
However, Florida leaders have yet to convince the White House and Congress to include an estimated $761 million in losses to the citrus industry in a series of disaster-relief packages this year.
State Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam again implored Florida's congressional delegation on Tuesday to support U.S. Rep. Tom Rooney's proposal to add $1.5 billion for Florida's agricultural industry to a $44 billion disaster-relief request sent to Congress on Nov. 17 by the White House Office of Management and Budget.
While awaiting federal assistance, Scott authorized a $25 million interest-free loan program for citrus farmers.
Visit Florida, meanwhile, directed $5 million from its tourism budget for a special post-Irma marketing campaign, and Scott has requested lawmakers boost Visit Florida's marketing dollars from $75 million in the current year to $100 million because of the need to have post-disaster marketing money readily available.
Despite the state saying tourism numbers continue to climb, hotels remain closed in parts of the Keys, where housing issues have grown for workers after Irma devastated a number of areas outside of Key West.
The Islamorada Resort Company, which hired more than 500 construction workers to repair storm damage at four locations on the islands, is reopening the first of the four on Dec. 15 and the second a month later.
"We are thrilled to welcome guests back to our slice of paradise," said Eddie Sipple, the company's area general manager.

A state panel Wednesday backed a proposed constitutional amendment that would change residency requirements for legislative candidates.
Under the proposal, candidates would have to reside in the districts they intend to represent at the time they qualify to run. Currently, they are only required to live in the districts when elected.
The change would not be required in years of legislative redistricting, which often leads to substantial changes in district boundaries.
The proposal is now ready to be considered by the full 37-member Constitution Revision Commission, which will determine whether it will go before voters in November 2018.
The commission, which meets every 20 years, has the power to directly place proposed constitutional amendments on the general-election ballot.
Diaz pitched the proposal after former state Rep. Daisy Baez, D-Coral Gables, resigned her seat amid scrutiny about her residency. Baez, who was elected in 2016, resigned after pleading guilty to a perjury charge in an investigation by the Miami-Dade County State Attorney's Office.
Diaz has said the proposed constitutional amendment was not spurred by the Baez case.
The issue of residency of lawmakers has been an almost-annual source of rumor and contention.
In 2013, Sen. Jack Latvala, R-Clearwater, sought an investigation into residency claims by six South Florida lawmakers, two fellow members of the Senate and four from the House. All six were Democrats.
The language also says residency requirements must be met "upon election," which has been taken to mean as either when election results are certified or when a candidate was physically sworn into office.
Mr. Randy Theo Covan, 56, passed away Tuesday, November 28, 2017, in Brewton, Alabama.
Mr. Covan was a native of Century, FL and had resided in Brewton, AL since 1985. He was of the Holiness Faith. He is preceded in death by his brother, Ronnie Hayes.
He is survived by his parents, Bill and Alene Covan of Century, FL; three sons, Jason (Wendy) Covan of Brewton, AL, William (Jennifer) Covan of Uriah, AL and William Robbins of Brewton, AL; two daughters, Tina (Jason) Johnson of Thomasville, GA and Tasha (Jesse) Benoit of Gueydan, LA; one brother, Raford (Tina) Covan of Pace, FL; one sister, Recinda (Buck) McCormick of Milton, FL; and nine grandchildren, Tara Johnson, Jason Johnson, Jr., Christopher Benoit, Zachary Benoit, Ryan Covan, Cheyanna Covan, William "Cole" Covan, William "Jr" Robbins and Miranda Robbins.
Funeral services will be held Sunday, December 3, 2017, at 2 p.m. at the Petty-Eastside Chapel Funeral Home with Rev. Jimmy Collie officiating.
Burial will follow at the Providence Methodist Cemetery.
Visitation will be Saturday, December 2, 2017, from 6 p.m. until 8 p.m. at the Petty-Eastside Chapel Funeral Home.
Pallbearers will be John Lee, Billy Davis, Will Chavers, William Robbins, Rick Garrett, Mike Hammond and Thomas Carroll. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 9,855 |

"Luc Is it "fighting unemployment" or would it be better to express it as "finding meaningful employment"? Geoff"
"Bheri, Karnataka (India) on email In our daily life many times we use the word community but never tried to define it, Thansks a lot to Geoff for making us to explore it, i think commonly we community is group of people living togather…"
"Wow! what a lot of great ideas on communities! I particularly liked the succinct definition from Moses "Community is Common unity of the people." For me community is all about people and the way they interact. Marie challenged me…"
You have been featured on Ning for your immense contribution to the platform. You have been leading the local responses team and encouraging us to make the platform more robust and meaningful. Thank you.

Nazi-looted painting returned to rightful owners and then purchased back
New York's Neue Galerie announced on Tuesday (27 September) that it had returned a painting looted by the Nazis to its rightful owners before purchasing it back from them at its current fair market value.
The Museum agreed to return Karl Schmidt-Rottluff's 'Nude' (1914) to the heirs of a Jewish shoe manufacturer and Expressionist art collector after they approached the Museum a little over a year ago with a potential restitution claim. The repurchase price has not been revealed but other works by Schmidt-Rottluff's have commanded over US$1million (approximately £768,357) in recent times.
'Nude' formed part of a collection of paintings belonging to Alfred and Tekla Hess and taken by the Nazis after the widowed Tekla was forced to flee Germany in 1939. The painting later resurfaced in 1994 at auction in Berlin where it sold for US$596,833 (£458,577). Five years later, the Neue Galerie purchased it from the same auction house for US$793,355 (£609,581).
General counsel for the Neue Galerie, Agnes Peresztegi, said there was no indication at the time of the 1999 sale that the painting has been looted by the Nazis. Subsequent research efforts by the Hess family and the Neue Galerie unveiled the truth behind its origins. "This case is an example of how provenance research has evolved and how much more we know today than we knew 20 years ago", Ms Peresztegi said.
The agreement reached with the heirs of the Hess family reflects renewed research and restitution efforts by Neue Galerie co-founder Ronald S. Lauder. Mr Lauder, who is also the heir to the Estée Lauder cosmetics empire, has been criticised in the past for an absence of detailed provenance information on works in his Museum's collection. While Mr Lauder has returned three artworks in his personal collection to their rightful owners the Hess settlement marks the first time a piece from the Museum has been restituted.
In a joint statement with the Museum, the Hess family commended the Neue Galerie's "professional and transparent manner" in handling the matter. The Museum also plans to continue its research efforts with the assistance of Ms Peresztegi, an expert on Holocaust-era restitution claims. Mr Lauder has enlisted her help to undertake a review of the Museum's holdings and clarify their provenance information.
"I don't see more restitutions right now in the pipeline, but it does not mean there will be nothing ever discovered," Ms Peresztegi said.

Adam Fox and Chris Kreider Selected to Participate in 2022 NHL All-Star Game
NEW YORK, January 13, 2022 – The National Hockey League announced today that Rangers defenseman Adam Fox and forward Chris Kreider have been selected to participate in the 2022 NHL All-Star Game on February 5 in Las Vegas.
It is the first time since 2011-12 (Lundqvist, Girardi, Gaborik) that the Rangers will have multiple players represented in the All-Star Game. It is also the first time since 2002-03 (Brian Leetch, Tom Poti) that New York has had multiple American-born players selected to the same All-Star Game.
Fox will be making his first career All-Star Game appearance and Kreider will be making his second career All-Star Game appearance and second in three seasons.
Fox, 23, becomes the second defenseman in NHL history (P.K. Subban) to win a Norris Trophy before playing/being selected to an All-Star Game. He is the first Rangers defenseman since Ryan McDonagh (2016-17) to be selected to an All-Star Game.
Through 37 games this season, the Jericho, New York native ranks tied for first among defensemen with 31 assists and ranks third among defensemen in points with 36. Fox ranks tied for fourth among all NHL skaters in assists. He also is tied for the fifth-most takeaways among league defensemen with 33. Fox has the most assists through 37 games by a Rangers defenseman since Brian Leetch recorded 36 assists through 37 games during the 2000-01 season. Fox has averaged 24:41 of time on ice per game, the most among Rangers. In total, Fox has skated 912:59 minutes this season, the fourth-most in the NHL among defensemen.
The 5-11, 183-pounder has registered 18 goals and 107 assists for 125 points and a plus/minus rating of plus-50 through 162 career NHL games. He is one of seven defensemen in NHL history to record 107 or more assists in 162 or fewer games (Quinn Hughes, Sergei Zubov, Brian Leetch, Al MacInnis, Mark Howe, Stefan Persson). He won the Norris Trophy in 2020-21 as the "defense player who demonstrates throughout the season the greatest all-round ability in the position"; he skated in 55 games with the Rangers last season, registering five goals and 42 assists for 47 points, along with a plus-19 rating and 14 penalty minutes. Fox became the fourth Ranger to win the Norris Trophy since it was first presented in 1953-54, joining Doug Harvey (1961-62), Harry Howell (1966-67), and Brian Leetch (1991-92 and 1996-97). In addition, Fox became only the second defenseman in NHL history to win the Norris Trophy in one of his first two seasons in the league, joining Bobby Orr (Orr won the award in his second NHL season in 1967-68).
Kreider, 30, is making his second appearance in an All-Star Game after replacing Artemi Panarin at the 2020 event in St. Louis. He is the first Rangers forward to play in consecutive All-Star Games since Wayne Gretzky (1996-97 – 1998-99).
Kreider has tallied 21 goals and 11 assists for 32 points in 37 games this season, including 12 power-play goals. Kreider ranks sixth in the NHL in goals and second in power-play goals. He leads the Rangers in goals, ranks fifth in assists, fourth in points and leads the team with 112 shots. He is the only player in the NHL with 21 or more goals and 76 or more hits. Kreider's 12 power-play goals are the most through 37 games by a Ranger since Marian Gaborik in 2009-10. He has notched a point in 20 of his 37 games and has notched nine multi-point games, including two three-point efforts (Jan. 2 vs. TBL, Dec. 15 at ARI).
The Boxford, Massachusetts native has cumulated 198 goals and 180 assists for 378 points in 610 career games and a plus/minus rating of plus-70. He ranks among the top in several franchise rankings including 12th in goals, tied for 19th in points, and ninth in power-play goals (70). Kreider has been an alternate captain for the Blueshirts since 2018-19.

Peter Sutcliffe, murderer known as the 'Yorkshire Ripper', dies at 74
No Comments on Peter Sutcliffe, murderer known as the 'Yorkshire Ripper', dies at 74
LONDON – Peter Sutcliffe, who was convicted of murdering 13 women and attempting to murder seven more in a year which led to newspapers calling him the Yorkshire Ripper, died on Friday. He was 74 years old.
Mr Sutcliffe's death was announced by the UK Prison Service, which said he had underlying health issues and had tested positive for the coronavirus. A coroner will investigate the cause of death.
He was convicted in 1981 of murdering 13 women over five years in the north of England and sentenced to life for each, the maximum allowed. The murders, which took place between 1975 and 1980, gripped the public and authorities alike, and the lengthy investigation was "a source of considerable embarrassment to the police," the New York Times wrote at the time.
Mr Sutcliffe was questioned by police on several occasions during their investigations in the 1970s. His arrest came after he was found with false license plates on his car; he confessed to the murders, many of which were committed from behind with a hammer and knife. A jury of six men and six women convicted him.
"He has ruined so many lives," Richard McCann, son of Mr Sutcliffe's first known victim, told Sky News. "He will be one of those 20th century figures in the same league as I suppose someone like Hitler.
Mr McCann's mother, Wilma McCann, was killed on October 30, 1975. Others would follow in a reign of terror as police focused on false leads and a hoax recording they believed came from the killer.
A 1981 report on the failures of the police investigation was released under the Freedom of Information Act in 2006. Known as the Byford Report, to the official who wrote it, he cited a "curious lull and unexplained "in Mr. Sutcliffe's criminal activities between 1969 and 1975. The report concluded that it was" highly unlikely that the crimes for which Sutcliffe was charged and convicted were the only ones attributable to him ".
Mr Sutcliffe, who also used the Coonan surname, served much of his sentence in a mental hospital and was transferred to Frankland Prison in north-east England in 2016, reported the Associated Press.
"It is difficult to find adequate words in my opinion to describe the brutality and gravity of these offenses," said Judge Leslie Boreham on the day of his conviction. "I express the hope that when I say life imprisonment it will mean precisely that."

Joel Battle poses in the English hallway.
Battle takes on University of Exeter
Mahi Kandage, Editor
It can be difficult to move away from the home you have lived in for most of your life, but it takes a special kind of strength and drive to transition to a new culture and environment. Senior Joel Battle aims to take on the challenge next year, as a freshman at the University of Exeter, in England. Though attending university abroad can seem intimidating to the average student, Battle's parents, who are both native to the United Kingdom, encouraged their son to consider applying to Exeter.
"My parents aren't from here, they're from England, and so they would understand English colleges a little bit better than the American ones, and what to look for, and what I should be looking for," said Battle.
Originally, Battle applied to three schools at Exeter, as is the process for colleges in the United Kingdom. After his acceptance into all three schools, he selected his top choice: History and International Relations.
"History kind of ties in with how the world works and how the world communicates with each other, so I thought it would be really interesting to study in college," said Battle, speaking of his decision to study history and international relations.
The University of Exeter is a school specially suited to Battle's plans for the future. The undergraduate college consists of a total of three years of schooling, the latter of which is a year of work experience off-campus.
Battle was drawn to the unique structure of the History and International Relations program, as well as its prestige among universities in the U.K. The degree takes three years to complete, not four, as it does not include a year of general education as in most American institutions. Battle cites this as an incentive to attend the college, and that the type of education he will receive in England will help him to get a job more easily.
"Working abroad is such a different path than a lot of other people take, and standing out is important," said Battle, regarding his decision to attend a school in England.
The application process for colleges out of the country can be complicated and have different requirements. Battle contacted a non-profit organization, Across the Pond, which put him in touch with a specialist to assist him with his applications. The value of AP courses is much greater than standardized test scores on applications to Exeter, which was an incentive for Battle. He added that the process of focusing on AP classes was a good experience.
"I was proud of the scores that I got on my APs," said Battle.
As a freshman, Battle took the World History II Honors course, which first began to guide him on his path to History and International Relations.
"I really liked that, because it was in the 1800s and 1900s, which I thought was really interesting," said Battle.
His sophomore year, Battle took U.S. History I Honors, taught by Ron Kohler, whom he cited as one of his favorite teachers. In junior year, Battle finally gained some more freedom with choosing his classes, and took his interest in social sciences to the next level, taking two AP courses in the department, European history, and U.S. History.
Battle's senior Capstone is a research essay regarding American Government around the time of the Cold War with the help of Kristen McAnaney, his AP European History teacher, and faculty advisor.
Battle cites his AP U.S. History teacher Donna Kavanagh as one of his inspirations and a source of help for his research. Kavanagh wrote his recommendations for colleges both in the U.S. and U.K. and has been a proponent of his education, providing him with books for his capstone.
"He is well informed and unafraid to share opinions. He is truthful and sincere. He has a willingness to listen as well as seek out information in order to gain a fuller understanding of whatever historical or current topic is being discussed," said Kavanagh
Battle also expresses an interest in English, in both writing and literature. Through his years at WA, he has appreciated all of his English teachers- Rose Dowd, Jack Holbrook, Lynn Bonakdar, and Rebecca Ingerslev. As a senior, Battle chose to take the challenging AP Literature course and found it to be valuable, especially with the heavy writing workload.
"I think just by the habit of writing more, you get more confident in yourself," said Battle.
All of Battle's inspirations for his educational course were not teachers. Comedian Jon Stewart may seem an unlikely candidate, but Battle believes that his political comedy has a way of transforming dull, historical topics into funny, lively, and engaging material.
Battle summarized, "He was a big eye-opener for me in how the world works."
Along with his heavy social-science-oriented course load, Battle participated in extracurriculars that involved some of his passions in issues such as human rights in NOW club and environmental preservation in environmental preservation in Environmental Club.
"He's been an active member of NOW since it's founding stages and I honestly don't think he's ever missed a meeting," said senior Prachi Jhawar, one of the founders of NOW Club.
In his junior year, he made the decision to join WATA, one he is very thankful for having made. Battle covered a number of bases during his experience in theater, acting, singing, and as a behind-the-scenes technician. His recent productions include Peter and the Starcatcher, Lovesong, and Godspell.
"I got to meet a lot of new people, or strengthen relationships I already had with people I knew," said Battle, about the connections he forged through theater.
Though he understands the challenges of learning to live in a foreign country, Battle eagerly anticipates the opportunities that lie ahead. In the third year of college, he hopes to gain work experience at the United Nations, which in turn, will help him to get a job at the organization after graduation.
The pressure of choosing a lucrative career path, or one dictated by parents in high school can be burdening, and the emphasis on finding a job stressful. However, Battle's philosophy focuses on following his passions, regardless of competition from others.
He remarks, "Do what you love doing and what you're good at doing."

Gujarat govt got notice from EC over electricity bill exemptions ahead of Jasdan bypoll
Model code of conduct is in force in the Rajkot town since the by-election was announced, campaigning by-election to Gujarat's Jasdan assembly constituency ended on Tuesday evening. Election Commission issued notices to the state government on electricity bill exemptions announced on Tuesday for rural consumers.
The state government on Tuesday simultaneously made an announcement on setting up of a branch of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences at Rajkot.
The canvassing for the by-election to the seat in Rajkot district in the Saurashtra region concluded at 5 pm. Cabinet minister Kunvarji Bavaliya, who is a turncoat from the Congress, is contesting from Jasdan which he vacated after he quit the Congress to join the BJP recently.
The veteran Congress leader from the Koli community was inducted in the Vijay Rupani Cabinet within hours of joining the BJP.
Both the parties, the BJP and the Congress, have made it a prestige election since the opposition party as well as Bavaliya have seldom lost from there. While the BJP is trying to woo the influential Koli community in Gujarat through Bavaliya, the Congress feels energized after its recent poll victories in the neighbouring Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh.
The Election Commission's notices to the state energy as well as health departments seek state government's explanation on making the announcements when the model code of conduct was in force in Jasdan.

Letting go, for director Dave Hargreaves can feel like a free fall, especially if he is accustomed to "being large and in charge," as his wife Candace says. But, there is great opportunity to stretch, grow and learn if we only can let go and trust.
Camp Latgawa has closed the books on a successful summer, and we have completed the requirements for our highly successful Gray Family Foundation matching grant program!
Early in August, the cross had stood at the ocean beach for a long time went missing. While it was not the original, this cross had a great deal of sentimental value to many. Needless to say the loss was disappointing.
In 2017 at Suttle Lake there were six young adults who served the full season, including an international staff member from Sahagun, Mexico. Their joy in being in ministry, singing and praying together, appreciating God's beauty in creation, as well as playing games and laughing together enriched the camp and fostered their own growth.
Last September, I agreed to serve as the interim Executive Director for Camp and Retreat Ministries in Oregon-Idaho, until a national search could be conducted to hire the next Executive Director, which turned out to be me!
Wallowa Lake Enthusiastically Witnesses Transformation!
Every year we are excited to hear campers' stories about camp or to see campers' experiencing God at this sacred place. Often, it is the little things that fill us with the most joy. There are several examples that we would like to lift up.
Life is always about transformation. One thing that makes our camps and retreat centers special is that we are places where we are intentionally cultivating positive transformation. Sometimes we are able to direct our hearts and lives to bring about positive transformation, and sometimes the Spirit of God tosses aside our carefully crafted plans and provides us with blessings beyond our imagination.

Sixteen women from the OR/ID Annual Conference spent a glorious fall weekend at Camp Magruder sewing school bags and layette items for the United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR) Depot in Salt Lake City (UMCOR West). It was the Conference's second annual "Kit Kamp," so named because the items made will find their way into some of the Depot's seven "kits" that are used in disaster relief situations worldwide.
The Board of Camp and Retreat Ministry is pleased to announce the hiring of Troy Taylor as the next director at Camp Magruder.
Every year Sawtooth Camp hosts a crew of 75-100 forest service personnel who are training to fight forest fires and being strategic about the federal response to the inevitable fire season. Sawtooth Camp staff is happy to feed, host, feed, offer challenge course leadership, feed, and be of service to this important safety net to our communities and ecosystems. Did I mention the food?
You ever wonder where we got the name for our newsletter and website? The name of this camp brochure from 1952 gives us a clue! Brochures like this were a very creative way for campers to learn about and register for camp. Furthermore, with the camp stamp books that churches received in the mail, potential campers could also earn their own way to camp by purchasing stamps, which they affixed to the book.
Visit business.landsend.com/store/gocamping/ to have the Camp and Retreat Ministries logo embroidered on any number of clothing or other items that Land's End offers. You can order one piece at a time, in the size and color you wish. There is also an option to vary the colors of embroidery threads to be better visible on the material you choose (you could even choose pink, purple and orange!). The National Camp and Retreat logo is also available. The logo fee is typically about $6.00 in addition to the price of the clothing article, but often coupon codes can be found with an online search that may eliminate this or the shipping charge.
Are you feeling nudged to work at camp as paid or volunteer staff? Opportunities always abound to be a part of a dynamic, inspired, and hardworking team.

Journalists, aid workers, and democracy advocates all put themselves in harm's way for the benefit of others. Yet, there is a glaring need for them to store data securely. Typically, private data is protected with encryption that is assumed unbreakable. Yet, if those in a hostile environment are caught with encrypted data, they could be forced to comply through coercion or threats of bodily harm. We propose to secure data in plain sight by hiding it so that the operating system doesn't even know it's there. Therefore, the owner can completely deny the existence of the data.
A variety of previously developed systems have been designed in an attempt to address this problem. In the process of navigating the compromises inherent to plausibly deniable storage, each of these systems have demonstrated distinctive "tells" that enable a skilled adversary with knowledge of their design to quickly discover them. Since carrying encrypted files or dedicated hardware can be inherently suspicious, a deniable storage system must be hidden within a publicly visible file system or storage device to maintain plausible deniability. It is highly suspicious if there are visible drivers or firmware, unconventional partitioning schemes, excess unusable space in a file system, or unexplained changes to the disk's free space. To avoid suspicion, the hidden volume must operate in such a way that the encapsulating file system and operating system are entirely unaware of the hidden file system's existence, even when faced with a detailed forensic examination.
We take a step toward the goal of applying deniable storage systems to safeguard users by addressing the above requirements with Artifice, a block device that provides functional plausible deniablility for both hidden data and the Artifice driver itself. To access a hidden volume, the user boots into a separate, Artifice-aware operating system through a Linux live USB drive which provides effective isolation from the host OS. Unlike earlier systems, this does not leave behind suspicious drivers on the user's machine and mitigates the impact of malware and information leakage to the public volume. As the public file system cannot be aware of Artifice's existence, Artifice must protect itself from damage due to overwrites by public operations. Information Dispersal Algorithms (such as Shamir Secret Sharing) provide Artifice overwrite tolerance through the inclusion of redundant blocks and enable a self repair process whenever the user boots the Artifice-aware OS. The overwrites still occur, but don't cause irreparable harm.
This system will be the first fully deniable, secure, and tunable steganographic file system. All previous attempts might attain overly strong security guarantees or performance but sacrifice deniability. Our project will push the current understanding of deniable storage and it is our goal to build a fully working system that can survive an intensive forensic examination. This will allow users in the field to have a reliable, secure means of carrying information where the presence of that information does not endanger their lives.
We plan to maintain the project indefinitely through publicly available repositories such as Github, as well as on the Storage and Systems Research Center's web page.
Prototype:
The Artifice prototype is implemented as a Linux Device Mapper that presents the user with a virtual block device formatted like any other disk. The prototype currently supports hiding in FAT-32 and EXT4 file systems with planned support for NTFS and APFS. The prototype also supports both Shamir Secret Sharing and AONT-RS for obfuscation and error correction. The initial prototype can run simple benchmarks, but a stable release is still a work in progress.
The prototype implementation can be found here.
Red Team Evaluation:
We are currently designing and running experiments to better understand the continually shifting environment in which Artifice resides. The amount and location of random data, free space reuse behavior, SSD TRIM, and write pattern deniability, among other factors, are poorly understood and significantly impact the ability of a deniable storage system to provide sufficient security guarantees.
This work has been published in the Freedom and Open Communication on the Internet (FOCI '19) workshop and the Conference on Mass Storage Systems and Technologies (MSST '20). We are in the process of preparing more results for publication.

So finally the TV opener I shot for Channel 4 Nelonen's new TV show "Pallon Ympäri" is finally out, and I thought id write a short breakdown of how I shot it. Even though the TV spot was a mere 30 seconds, the spot covered a wide range of different environments from around the world that require specific lighting and good communication with the VFX team.
The idea behind the spot was to have the characters be giant-sized scaled to the real world, and have them walking around interacting on their global journey. After remembering the 1993 movie "Attack of the 50ft Woman" I decided to shoot everything in 50FPS for the post guys to slightly play with when cutting between speeds. This extra frame rate would allow them to slow down the characters to a certain extent giving the element of the sheer size of the talent. I decided to shoot this spot on the RED Epic due to the VFX post house wanting to play so much with scaling. The 6K resolution was more than enough for the guys to work with. Some particular sequences we also shot vertically, with the camera mounted on its side, just fo the sheer extra resolution the VFX guys could play with.
Everything I decided to shoot with a 3:1 ratio of exposure with key - shadows. I ensured that the Key light was one stop over-exposed. We used the Arri Ultra primes on this gig, I kept everything around T4 as I have found find this is the sharpest aperture with these lenses. There were a few occasions where I opened it up a little more just to maintain a nice blur in depth of field, just to prevent to chroma background from being to clean. I kept the Chroma 2 stops underexposure, too which they were illuminated by a series of Arri Skypanel s60's.
Because of the Character scaling a lot of shots we had to lower the camera to knee level to simulate once again the character size to the real world. This also affected the focal length choices with the some of the wider shots and closer takes. With the world being at that scale we see the horizon as a curve, and the perspective is warped, just like on a wider lens such as a 14mm. But again with the size of the characters they still needed to look normal as they were much bigger than real world, so I decided to fly with a 28mm and 50mm.
I had to deal with simulating the atmospheric lighting environments of Cambodia, Thailand, Siberia, Nevada, and Hawaii. So you can imagine it wasn't just about color temperature but also about breaking down the weather patterns of these areas and how natural light and sun sources diffuse.
Our main source of illuminance that was used on 90% of the shots was a large 24 x 24 bounce above the talent which we fired up with a large Arri M40 HMI. We want the main source temperature to be nice and clean for the VFX crew whilst the other lights that we used were to simulate the environments.
For backlight, we punched in a warm 2kW Tungsten to give a nice edge light to the back of the characters during the Asian and desert scenes. This was of course modified in direction dependant on our perspective an location. The desert sequences I wanted a hard heavy feel to the desert sun, so I got the gaffer to raise the Fresnal quite high and to remove the 1/4 diffusion we placed in front of it for the other sequences.
For fill, we used an Arri Skypanel s120C, to which we could diffuse and also change the coloring to match the environment required. The Cambodia sequences we wanted a jungle yellow as the fill instead of the typical Fresnal bouncing back. Original I was thinking we might have to throw some magenta into the coloring to avoid some chroma spill, but the VFX guys were happy with the amount of spill we had.
Not too much of a difficult gig, but always a mind thinker when you are working on a chroma screen and having to imitate a different environment and with this particular gig, different size characters to their environment. Check out the full TV spot below. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 9,869 |
Working on a tree frog. I've got my oscilloscope probe connected to its speaker wire so I can "see" the sound that he makes. (The creaking chair is me, not the frog...) The frog's call is entirely generated by the analog electronic circuit that you see on the front of the painting - like an electronic instrument. Below is the finished piece, "Gray(ish) Tree Frog," 2018. Watercolor and analog electronics on paper.
Above: different views of the frog's call using my oscilloscope. The differences that you see are consequent of the time and/or voltage interval that I used to adjust the display (like focusing in and out of sound). In other words, they're all the same signal, just different ways of looking at it. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 9,870 |

We're all family and friends of Sophia Erskine. Most of us are from Liverpool but we've got amazing members from the South of England travelling up North! Some young, some old 😉, most of us are newbies to the walking scene so this really will be a challenge!
We're all doing this for Our Soph!
She's a 30 year old gorgeous gob from Liverpool, who has spent far too much of her life in hospitals.
Soph has Cerebral Palsy and is in desperate need of a sit to stand wheelchair.
This is essential to prevent sepsis (which she is unfortunately prone to and has had to fight to survive 3 times already) and ultimately prolong her life!
We're walking, so she can stand with us, together.
This challenge is due to take place on Saturday, 6 July, 2019.

The UK government continues to pursue military solutions to security questions. The government claims that arms exports are 'managed responsibly'. Yet the UK routinely supplies regimes that have appalling human rights records and countries in conflict.
Every year, the UK Government authorises the sale of arms to over 100 countries across the globe. This is hardly surprising given that it is government policy to promote arms exports.
In 2008 the Government opened the Defence & Security Organisation (DSO) in the UK Trade & Investment department, which promotes weaponry on behalf of arms companies. The number of civil servants promoting arms sales is completely out of proportion compared to the number of civil servants promoting other export sectors.
The Government asserts that it is effective in 'controlling' arms exports but continues to license exports to countries with terrible human rights records such as Saudi Arabia and Egypt. The Government has supported arms exports to both sides in areas of tension such as China and Taiwan, India and Pakistan, Russia and Georgia, Greece and Turkey, and arms company MBDA supplied weapons to all three sides in the conflict in Libya in 2011.
In recent decades the UK government has licensed arms sales to several countries with which it has then gone on to have conflicts with. UK arms were supplied to Argentina before the Falklands War, to Saddam Hussein's Iraq before the Gulf War, and to Colonel Gadaffi's Libya before the UK joined the NATO bombing campaign in 2011.
Military spending now comprises 6 percent of government expenditure. This is a much lower proportion than before the First World War, mainly because of increases in other government spending such as health and education. Nevertheless, the UK still has the sixth highest military spending in the world and since 2010 the Ministry of Defence has faced much smaller cuts than most government departments. Moreover, the UK's military expenditure, which currently stands at £39 billion a year, is almost twice the £19 billion a year that the UN estimates it would cost to solve global food insecurity.
While the benefits of the arms trade accrue to international companies, the costs are to the people on the receiving end of the weaponry, the citizens and taxpayers of both buying and selling countries, and to national and international security. It is not surprising then that, just as at the time of the First World War, many people oppose the production and distribution of weapons.
In 2014 a shipment of 1.6 million rounds of teargas, destined for Bahrain, was stopped following an international campaign involving CAAT, Bahraini human rights activists, and South Korean anti-militarist groups.
In 2013 CAAT organised large-scale protests and non-violent direct action against the London arms fair resulting in a week of disruption for the arms dealers attending. Entrances to the arms fair were blocked for hours with military equipment turned away, arms company Lockheed Martin's offices were locked down, and two arms dealers' dinners were disrupted by protesters.
In 2012 the National Gallery's sponsorship by an arms company was ended following a 6 month campaign by CAAT. Guildford Cathedral then cancelled its hosting of an arms dinner.
In 2011 the committee of MPs which scrutinizes arms exports acknowledged the contradiction between the Government's stated commitment to human rights, and its continued pushing of arms exports to human-rights abusing regimes.
In 2008 the previous owners of the London arms fair, Reed-Elsevier, were forced into selling up after pressure from shareholders concerned about hosting such an unethical event.
In 2007 the government's arms promotion unit, the Defence Export Service Organisation, was shut down following a long campaign by CAAT. Unfortunately a new, but smaller, arms promotion department was set up in 2008.
If you want to get involved in CAAT's campaigns visit https://www.caat.org.uk/get-involved/join-us/.
This widespread concern about the UK's arms trade is actually recognised by many parliamentarians. In 2013-14, 81 MPs signed a Parliamentary petition to stop UK Government promotion of arms sales to human rights abusing regimes.
There is increasing understanding that arms do not lead to security. Indeed, the Oxford Research group, which works to promote the concept of a more sustainable security approach, has identified three primary threats to peace in the 21st century: climate change, increasing competition over resources and inequality of wealth. The danger of rising temperatures was also underlined in a recent study by the UK's Ministry of Defence which called climate change a 'driver that is so pervasive in nature and influence that it will affect the life of everyone on the planet over the next 30 years'.
One wonders then how more militarisation and investment in arms will help us face these global challenges. The money and skills wasted on arms would provide greater security and economic benefits if they were invested in addressing real security challenges such as climate change. It is vital to counter the arms trade's myths as well as to highlight the pain and destruction it causes.
Vickers and Armstrong, the two largest UK arms companies during the First World War, were both eventually absorbed into what is now BAE Systems, the UK's largest arms company and the primary recipient of government military contracts.
Today arms industry jobs are presented as being vital to the UK economy despite being in decline for many decades.
The numbers of arms industry jobs, though substantial, are inflated by government and industry.
The arms industry is stagnant and has no potential to boost the economy. The large amounts of public money thrown at it are wasted as well as damaging, whereas they could be used to support other sectors with vastly greater potential and provide more and better jobs producing useful products. As the money that supports the arms industry is public, this money can be redirected.
There is a science and engineering skills shortage which means that the arms industry is holding back other sectors of the economy. It also means that arms workers are more likely to find work relatively easily even without targeted public investment.
Arms companies such as BAE Systems wrap themselves in the Union Jack and talk about British jobs in their PR here, but this is purely tactical. They have little real commitment to UK workers and employ as many workers in the USA as in the UK.
There are better jobs for arms industry workers. The vibrant renewable energy and low-carbon sectors are being held back by skills shortages and a lack of investment and political support. These sectors could realise many more high-skill jobs and far greater economic benefit than the arms industry, while also producing vital environment and security benefits.

When your smile isn't how you want it, it can make you self-conscious. As much as we try to hide our discontent, this will continue to haunt us until the issue is sorted. Often, misalignments in our teeth can throw our whole smile off, preventing it from being as beautiful as it could be.
The great thing is that improvements in the market have seen new methods of treatment such as Invisalign braces being introduced. These are perfect as they are practically undetectable, so teens and adults can skip the metal and undergo a much more discreet look. Not to mention, there are flexible payment plans in place to make this option affordable to the majority.
When searching for invisalign braces Gold Coast dentists offer, there are a range of providers that will help you achieve your desired smile. Once you find someone, you can push through with your Invisalign smile assessment and begin planning with the professional how to proceed.
First things first, it's good to know some preparation techniques to get as ready for the process as possible. This will help move treatment along smoothly and give your smile the best chance of successful realignment.
Preparation is so crucial. Knowing and understanding how this type of brace will affect your everyday life and the small adjustments you will need to make will really help the process.
Pain – The scale of pain is different for everyone. You will only know when you start undergoing treatment. Some report minimal pain and others say it's very painful. It's good to talk to the professional about steps to minimize pain if it becomes an issue. The most amount of pain will happen when it initially comes into the mouth.
To prevent gum irritation, change to a new aligner just before going to bed.
Avoid hard foods and go with softer things when your teeth are sensitive.
Get a cold compress and place on the outside of the mouth.
Bring the edges that hurt to the attention of your dentist as they can look into correcting this.
Expect more saliva production initially but speak to your dentist if you are missing sleep due to this issue.
This is a good start to your getting more prepared for your braces. Doing these steps and getting mentally prepared for the change will promote a smoother transition.
This is a great article! Thanks for sharing!!

Thanks a lot for your tips – they'll be useful as I am scheduled for invisalign soon at Durrett Orthodontics, Tampa, Floride. I hope things go as planned.
Thanks for the information – although I am quite worried about wearing invisalign during sleep, but nevertheless, I'll get an invisalign consultation from my family dentist at Hillcrest Dental Arts in San Diego, CA soon – I've been dying to get my teeth straightened out.

A family has settled a $2.95 million lawsuit filed against police in Fairfax, Virginia.
John Greer was shot and killed in his home by Officer Adam Torres after officers responded to a domestic dispute.
According to Michael Lieberman, the Greer family's attorney, the $2.95 million settlement is the largest police shooting-related settlement in the history of Virginia.
County attorneys were accused of stonewalling the investigation of the shooting by not turning over Torres's internal affairs records to the Commonwealth. A judge ordered the county to turn over the records, which showed Torres having an angry "meltdown" during an incident at the county courthouse.
Though the settlement does not have an admission of liability from the county or impose any police department policy changes, the resulting backlash has prompted the review of police procedures, such as those regarding force and releasing information to the public. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 9,877 |

Whitney Port Recalls Rejecting Leonardo DiCaprio: 'One Of My Bigger Regrets In Life'
We all have regrets, that's just part of being human! I may just speak for myself when I say 2009 was just one BIG regret, but hey— Whitney Port could say the same thing!
That's right you guys! On her own podcast "With Whit," Whitney exposed herself and her biggest life regret, which involved one LEONARDO DICAPRIO.
Apparently, she's been "dying to tell people this story for ages."
Whitney proceeds to tell the story with the help of her friend Andrea Cuttler.
"So we went to Avenue and this was late aughts, 2009. We go to the club, Rihanna is there," recalls Andrea.
But it wasn't just QUEEN RiRi at the party, apparently Leo was a "Hills" stan back in the day, too!
"Leo comes up to you, insinuated that, like, he had missed the week prior's episode."

"And you're like, your head is spinning, is he telling me that he watches 'The City'? This is very confusing, but also incredible."
Andrea continues, "There was a phone number exchanged, then we went to 1OAK around the corner because he was going with his friends and asked if we would meet him, which like, yes," Cuttler continued.
"I remember dancing alone on the dance floor because you were in a corner talking to him and I didn't want to intrude, but also like couldn't leave."
Whitney (tragically) only saw him in person one more time after that, at Teddy's the Roosevelt in Hollywood.
"He invited me out to Teddy's and he invited me back over to his house, and I said no. I was too nervous. I had never had a one-night stand," she said. "I didn't want to be with him alone. I didn't know what it had to be. If Leonardo DiCaprio invites to you to his house ... I was way too nervous to do it and then I lost my chance and it's really one of my bigger regrets in life."

Places for People launches Edinburgh pilot scheme to help charities and social enterprises
Affordable homes specialist Places for People has launched a pilot scheme to help charities and social enterprises establish themselves in local communities, starting at a key development in Edinburgh.
By Scott Reid
Friday, 21st May 2021, 12:30 pm
The group said its #SocialSpace initiative would help "great local causes" by offering commercial space on "flexible and achievable rates", as well as providing development advice, training and mentoring through its team.
The first development to benefit is Urban Eden, which is located just ten minutes from the heart of Edinburgh city centre.
Marcus Hulme, social value director at Places for People, said: "Our business has generated more than £280 million in social value this past year, a testament to our commitment in the communities in which we work.
Urban Eden is located just ten minutes from the heart of Edinburgh city centre, offering charities a great chance to establish themselves in a central location, with access to much of the city.
"We have made plans to extend our work further this summer, by offering our assets and expertise to help great causes establish and embed themselves within active and growing communities.
"We hope that eligible organisations in Edinburgh – such as social enterprises, charities, or a local volunteer group looking for a centre to run their activities from – will come forward and take advantage of the initiative."
He added: "Places for People is in talks with network organisations to evolve the scheme into a more formal national offering. We hope that it is a great success and that we can soon roll it out in other neighbourhoods across the country."
The group said that the deadline for the submission of applications was May 28, with the commercial spaces available to move into from July.

DHS Secretary Nielsen Says Border Smugglers Have 'Child Recycling Rings'
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen described Tuesday how human smugglers are operating "child recycling rings" to thwart U.S. Customs and Border Protection, as The Daily Caller reported in March.
The CBP has said the border crisis is at a "breaking point," and Nielsen talked about the escalating border crisis that is presenting new problems and demanding a variety of defensive measures during an appearance on Fox News's "Tucker Carlson Tonight."
The DHS secretary said human "smugglers are more active than ever before" at the U.S.-Mexico border and they have come up with a new tactic to promote illegal immigration. (RELATED: Exclusive: Trump To Pursue Aggressive Executive Action On Immigration)
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen discusses the border crisis on Fox News' "Tucker Carlson Tonight," Apr. 2, 2019. Fox News screenshot.
"We've broken up child recycling rings — if you can believe it — in the last couple of months, which is where smugglers pick up a child, they give it to adults to present themselves as a family once they get over — because, as you know, we can only hold families for 20 days — they send the child back and bring the child back with another family. Another fake family."
She stated that the president "will take ever action within his authority to stop this flow." Nielsen has previously discussed the child recycling rings in Daily Caller reporting. (RELATED: DHS Sec. Nielsen: Cartels Are 'Recycling' Children Across The Border)
Nielsen described the majority of the illegals claiming asylum at the border as "economic refugees" as she reminded viewers that crossing the border illegally "is a crime."
She said the Trump administration is considering remedies like closing the border with Mexico and revoking birthright citizenship: "All of this is on the table," she told Fox.
The secretary also criticized "a lot of court decisions" that she said do not fully comprehend the border crisis, which she said, "In my opinion, right now, this is one of, if not the biggest, crisis this country has faced in a decade." | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaCommonCrawl'} | 9,880 |

Q: How to upgrade postgresql inside a Kubernetes pod? I have a kubernetes cluster running an app. Part of the cluster is a postgresql pod, currently running version 10.4. Unfortunately, I discovered that I need to upgrade the postgresql version.
The postgres yaml is as follow:
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
name: postgres
spec:
replicas: 1
selector:
matchLabels:
app: postgres
template:
metadata:
labels:
app: postgres
spec:
containers:
- name: postgres
image: postgres:10.4
imagePullPolicy: "IfNotPresent"
ports:
- containerPort: 5432
envFrom:
- configMapRef:
name: postgres-config
volumeMounts:
- mountPath: /var/lib/postgresql/data
name: postgredb
volumes:
- name: postgredb
persistentVolumeClaim:
claimName: postgres-pv-claim
The postgresql database already has some data in it. I need to find a way to upgrade the cluster while in production.
If I simply try to change the image to 12.0 and run kubectl apply I get an error:
2020-11-15 22:48:08.332 UTC [1] DETAIL: The data directory was initialized by PostgreSQL version 10, which is not compatible with this version 12.5 (Debian 12.5-1.pgdg100+1).
So I understand that I need to manually upgrade the postgres database inside the cluster, and only then I will be able to fix the yaml. Is that correct?
A: I tried @Justin method, but I encountered an issue that I couldn't stop current running postgres process inside the pod (for some reason inside the container there is no access to postgresql service. You can see more about that issue here)
Since I couldn't upgrade the postgresql specifically inside the pod, what I did at the end is creating a parallel postgres pod in Kubernetes which holds the new version. Then I dumped database from old server, copied it to the new server, and used it to initialize the database there.
Here are the steps one by one:
*
*Create a parallel postgres service with the new version
*In old version pod:
pg_dumpall -U postgresadmin -h localhost -p 5432 > dumpall.sql
*In the host:
kubectl cp postgres-old-pod:/dumpall.sql dumpall.sql
kubectl cp dumpall.sql postgres2-new-pod:/dumpall.sql
*ssh to new-pod
*extra step that I needed, becuase for some reason new pod didn't had 'postgres' user created:
get into postgres client using your credentials:
psql postgresql://postgresadmin:pass1234@127.0.0.1:5432/postgresdb?sslmode=disable
postgresdb=# CREATE ROLE postgres LOGIN SUPERUSER PASSWORD 'somepassword123';
then exit postgres and exit to normal user
*Finally update the database:
psql -U postgres -W -f dumpall.sql
A: Thanks to @justadev for the answer. Some additions:
psql -U postgres -d keycloak -W -f dumpall.sql
I had to add the -d keycloak database flag because while the psql log was OK during the import, the data was missing in the database afterwards. You need to explicitly indicate the database for psql.
So, check the psql flags here: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/app-psql.html
By the way, I managed to upgrade from Postgres 11 to Posgres 14.5 this way.
Also, I want to add this:
tar may be absent on a pod, this means that kubectl cp will not work.
Here is the workaround:
*
*Copy data from a pod to a local machine:
kubectl exec -n ${namespace} ${postgresql_pod} -- cat db_dump.sql > db_dump.sql
*Copy data from a local machine to a pod:
cat db_dump.sql | kubectl exec -i -n ${namespace} ${postgresql_pod} "--" sh -c "cat > db_dump.sql"
A: Using this How to upgrade postgresql database from 10 to 12 without losing data for openproject as the basis for my post. I'm converting it to a container-with-volume friendly approach. I am assuming you're using the official Postgresql image on Docker Hub.
*
*Backup the data - Out of scope for this answer. There are other people better suited to answering that question.
*Upgrade postgres from inside the pod and migrate the data
Get a shell in your postgres pod
# insert your pod and namespace here
kubectl exec -it postgresl-shsdjkfshd -n default /bin/sh
Run the following inside the container
apt update
apt-get install postgresql-12 postgresql-server-dev-12
service postgresql stop
# Migrate the data
su postgres
/usr/lib/postgresql/12/bin/pg_upgrade \
--old-datadir=/var/lib/postgresql/10/main \
--new-datadir=/var/lib/postgresql/12/main \
--old-bindir=/usr/lib/postgresql/10/bin \
--new-bindir=/usr/lib/postgresql/12/bin \
--old-options '-c config_file=/etc/postgresql/10/main/postgresql.conf' \
--new-options '-c config_file=/etc/postgresql/12/main/postgresql.conf'
exit # exits the postgres user
The next bit is verbatim taken from the linked post:
*Swap the ports the old and new postgres versions.
vim /etc/postgresql/12/main/postgresql.conf
#change port to 5432
vim /etc/postgresql/10/main/postgresql.conf
#change port to 5433
*Start the postgresql service
service postgresql start
*Log in as postgres user
su postgres
*Check your new postgres version
psql -c "SELECT version();"
*Run the generated new cluster script
./analyze_new_cluster.sh
*Return as a normal(default user) user and cleanup up the old version's mess
apt-get remove postgresql-10 postgresql-server-dev-10
#uninstalls postgres packages
rm -rf /etc/postgresql/10/
#removes the old postgresql directory
su postgres
#login as postgres user
./delete_old_cluster.sh
#delete the old cluster data
*Now change the deployment YAML image reference to the Postgres 12 and kubectl apply
*Check the logs to see if it started up correctly.

It's hard to believe that a student-led fun run, which began almost 40 years ago, could contribute close to $500,000 for medical research.
In 1979, the students of Earle Page College came up with the concept for their extraordinary fundraising event for Children's Medical Research Institute (CMRI), the Coast Run, and that proud tradition continued over the weekend.
The University of New England college organised 42 students this year to run 220km, in relay-style 1km or 5km intervals, all the way to Coffs Harbour. It was led by a core group of runners, dubbed The Dream Team, who did the first leg and keep the convoy going for the full two days.
CMRI fundraising team members, Jennifer Philips and Julie Lam, attended to congratulate the runners and thank them for their commitment.
The school is yet to collate the final total from this year's fundraising efforts but they are aiming to reach an incredible $20,000.
Earle Page College also do a huge fashion parade event in the middle of the year, as another fundraiser for CMRI. The school is hoping to hit an incredible $500,000 of funds raised for CMRI during their 40th year in 2019. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 9,884 |

(1915-07-31)31 July 1915
Saint-Denis, France
7 March 1987(1987-03-07) (aged 71)
Henri Decaë (31 July 1915 – 7 March 1987) gained fame as a cinematographer entering the film industry as a sound engineer and sound editor.[1] He was a photojournalist in the French army during World War II. After the war he began making documentary shorts, directing and photographing industrial and commercial films. In 1947 he made his first feature film.
Decaë is strongly associated with directors who strongly influenced, or were part of, the French New Wave. These include Jean-Pierre Melville, Louis Malle and Claude Chabrol. Decaë first worked as a cinematographer with Melville on Le Silence de la Mer (1949). Decaë also edited and mixed the sound. Although Decaë worked with Melville on Les enfants terribles, which as Williams commented (1992, p333) "...the work is more accurately to be viewed as a stunning demonstration of the cinematic possibilities of faithful literary adaptation in the hands of a gifted director", according to Marie (p 88) it was his distinctive camera work on Bob le flambeur which caught the attention of the Cahiers critics. Malle hired him for his first two features and Chabrol for his first three features. They had been lucky as Decaë was finding it hard to get work at that time as he was being informally shunned by many after participating in a critical film about the Korean War. By the time Decaë worked for François Truffaut on The 400 Blows he came with a reputation, which meant that he was the highest-paid person on the film.
Decaë's liking for natural light, his ability to work at speed as well as his excellent photographic sensibility led to him working with René Clément on several features beginning with Plein soleil (1960). It was Decaë "...who liberated the camera, from its fixed tripod. He made the New Wave possible, backing up Melville, Malle, Chabrol and Truffaut." (Marie, 2003 p 89)

Shortly after 8 p.m. on the Halloween Eve, 1938, a panicked radio announcer broke in with a report that Martians had landed in the tiny town of Grovers Mill, New Jersey. Although most listeners understood that the program was a radio drama, the next day's headlines reported that thousands of others plunged into panic. It turned out to be H.G.

Social Studies Class: Who are the Icons on the Naira notes?
Posted on February 9, 2021 by Adeyosola Adeniran
Every day we work for money, spend money, think of money, in fact, dream of money. However, besides that boring Social Studies class, few of us have knowledge about the people pictured on the Naira notes. Hey, no judgement here. Let's fill you in.
Five Naira Note
If the Naira is a means of not letting past leaders fade into obscurity, then this guy is pretty much forgotten because when was the last time you saw a five Naira note? In our little effort to keep him 'honoured', you should know that the guy on the five Naira note is Abubakar Tafawa Balewa. He was the first and only Prime Minister of Nigeria. At some point, he was also the Foreign Affairs advocate for the country. Tafawa Balewa was instrumental in the formation of the Organisation of the African Union. He was assassinated in the January 15 coup.
Ten Naira note
Me: Alvan Ikoku did so much for education in Nigeria.
99% of Nigerians: Alvan what? Who's that?
Me: Uhm, the dude on the ten Naira.
The 99%: ooooh, that guy.
Me: face slap emoji
Although he's been saving Nigerians from dying of thirst since forever, most people don't know who Alvan Ikoku is or why on earth he's on a Naira note.
Alvan Ikoku was an educationist, activist and politician. Through his effort, the National Union of Teachers (NUT) was recognized by the government. Thereafter several legislations concerned with education were amended. Alvan Ikoku also pushed the 1962 Education Bill of Rights, which made basic education free for all. An icon or not? So when next you buy a sachet of water, raise it in cheers to him.
Twenty Naira Note
This note is adorned by the face of General Muritala Mohammed, one of the most controversial leaders Nigeria has ever had. No one is quite sure where to place him—good guy or bad guy. Here's why: he was a brutal dictator who came to power on the back of a coup. He also influenced the events leading up to the Nigerian Civil War. On the other hand, Nigeria's economy and foreign affairs improved in his tenure. He also began the process of moving Nigeria out of a military regime before he was assassinated. So maybe he was a good bad guy at the end of the day?
Honourary mention:
CBN must have said let's do one for the girls. Behind the twenty Naira note, we have Ladi Kwali, the only woman on a Naira note. She was famous nationally and internationally for her pottery. Homegirl travelled across the world for exhibitions as far back as the 60s. Kwali received several national honours including the Nigerian National Order of Merit Award (NNOM) and the Officer of the Order of the Niger (OON).
Fifty Naira Note
You've most likely heard your bus conductor say "enter with your waso." This is because of the Wazobia theme of the fifty Naira note; Nigeria's (sad?) attempt at fostering unity. It portrays the three 'major' ethnic groups: Yoruba, Hausa and Igbo. Wazobia literally translates as "come, come, come." Wonder who or what we're vehemently asking to come. Change? Yes, please.
One Hundred Naira Note
Now here's someone everyone knows. Perhaps it because, besides being on the hundred Naira note, there's so much more attributed to him. He is still being referred to in politics today because of the legacy he left behind.
It's only right that a university is named after him because Awolowo was an all-rounder who started out as a journalist, and held degrees in Commerce and Law. He is well known for his participation in the National Youth Movement (NYM) and for becoming the first Premier of the Western Region in Nigeria. Awolowo was also the Minister of Finance at some point. He is referred to as Asiwaju Omo Oodua. Hey, don't ask me to translate!
Two Hundred Naira Note
Is it possible we have a knight on a Naira note? I don't know but I've wondered what the 'Sir' in Sir Ahmadu Bello stands for. He founded the Hausa-Fulani elite party, Northern People's Congress (NPC), which championed the cause of Northerners, ensuring that they were on equal footing with their Southern counterparts. It was him who forged the alliance with Azikwe's NCNC to form the first indigenous government leading Nigeria to independence. He was the first and only Premier in Nigeria. When independence was won, he chose to remain the Premier of Northern Nigeria and instead created the post of Prime Minister for Tafawa Balewa. Was he a badass or what?
P.S: Sir Ahmadu Bello is actual royalty, born into the Sokoto Caliphate dynasty. Oh, yeah, he was also assassinated.
Five Hundred Naira Note
We have another journalist here: Dr Nnamdi Azikwe. Oh, you didn't know that the first president of Nigeria was a journalist? Then you're welcome. I'll throw in another fun fact: Azikwe was multilingual, speaking three Nigerian languages.
Anyway, he made his transition into politics by co-founding the National Council of Nigerians and Cameroons (NCNC) with Herbert Macaulay. This is very important because the NCNC, in alliance with the Northern People's Congress (NPC), led the country to independence. That's why he's referred to as the father of Nigerian nationalism.
One Thousand Naira Note
CBN said what's better than one head? Two heads! Especially considering how it's double its predecessor, the five hundred Naira note. However, it's two guys few people recognize. Let's enlighten you.
So, CBN decided to honour two of their own here (Because why not? They literally make this money): Alhaji Aliyu Mai-Bornu and Clement Nyong Isong. The first guy, Mai-Bornu, was the first indigenous governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria and the second one, Isong, was his successor. Clement Isong also happens to have bagged a governorship position afterwards – a true career man.
Hope we've helped you on your journey to patriotism!

The Moors Murderers begin their killing spree
Sixteen-year-old Pauline Reade is abducted while on her way to a dance near her home in Gorton, England, by Ian Brady and Myra Hindley, the so-called "Moors Murderers," launching a crime spree that will last for over two years. Reade's body was not discovered until 1987, after Brady confessed to the murder during an interview with reporters while in a mental hospital. The teenager had been sexually assaulted and her throat had been slashed.
Brady and Hindley met in Manchester in 1961. The shy girl quickly became infatuated with Brady, a self-styled Nazi, who had a substantial library of Nazi literature and an obsession with sadistic sex. After photographing Hindley in obscene positions, Brady sold his amateur pornography to the public.
In order to satisfy their sadistic impulses, Brady and Hindley began abducting and killing young men and women. After Pauline Reade, they kidnapped 12-year-old John Kilbride in November and Keith Bennett, also 12, in June the next year. The day after Christmas in 1964, Leslie Ann Downey, a 10-year-old from Manchester, was abducted.
In 1965, the couple killed a 17-year-old boy with a hatchet in front of Hindley's brother-in-law, David Smith, perhaps in an attempt to recruit him for future murders. This apparently crossed the line for Smith, who then went to the police.
Inside Brady's apartment, police found luggage tickets that led them to two suitcases in Manchester Central Station. They contained photos of Leslie Ann Downey being tortured along with audiotapes of her pleading for her life. Other photos depicted Hindley and Brady in a desolate area of England known as Saddleworth Moor. There, police found the body of John Kilbride.
The Moors Murderers were convicted and sentenced to life in prison in 1966. Their notoriety continued after it was revealed that a guard at Holloway women's prison had fallen for Hindley and had an affair with her. For his part, Brady continued to confess to other murders.

Ratinoff finds the cure and feels better
Ratinoff finds the To cure and feels better: Los Angeles post-punk rocker Ratinoff told us about his love for a Cure classic.
Ratification: It was a very difficult call… I was between Ababy, 'Songs of faith and devotion, and Disintegration…
I have to say my favorite album has to be Disintegration… Maybe it's for some melancholy reasons… Maybe it's just the album that I felt really understood what I was going through right now…
The opening song "Plainsong" always spoke to me. I remember listening to it and feeling like I was in the rain listening to it, or just remembering the bittersweet of life.
I remember listening Disintegration and feel like ultimately there was an album that said everything I wanted to say. "Last Dance" particularly blew me away. When I heard that first opening bass riff from Simon Gallup, it blew me away. The very long intro and the guitar haunted me and delighted me to continue listening. These words about a long gone love really struck me. The sound was so huge that I imagined myself listening to it in a large dance hall. All the songs, especially "Closedown", "Prayers for Rain", "Disintegration" – they all spoke a lot to me.
To be honest, I rarely listen Disintegration these days. But when I think of the album that embodies my transition from boy to teenager, it was definitely the album that spoke to me first.
I got to see The Cure for the first time at the Shoreline Amphitheater in 2000 for the Blood flowers tower. I remember losing my mind when "Plainsong" started. I might have been at the back of the lawn, but I felt like I was right in front… It was this transformer. On their last "Singles" tour, I saw them perform "Last Dance" live and felt my life was over. I would have liked to see Porl Thompson or Boris Williams play live with Robert. Maybe someday… (no pun intended on their "Bloodflowers" single).
Ratinoff finds the cure and feels better: Ratinoff's new video "Better" is now available. It occurs at Whiskey A Go Gowith John Corabi on December 9 and with Bulletboys on December 16.

The great divide comes down in Malden
By Linda Greenstein Globe Correspondent,Updated August 16, 2019, 9:08 a.m.

For more than four decades, Malden's cavernous Government Center literally divided the city in half. Now it is being knitted back together again.
The old building, which blocked Pleasant Street and choked off the downtown shopping district, has been demolished. In its place is a mixed-use development that will reopen the thoroughfare and improve access to a nearby MBTA station while adding housing, retail, parking, and a much smaller Malden City Hall.
The project comes as Malden's downtown is experiencing a revival.
"We have already seen a dramatic change in the downtown business area," said Hilda Torres, executive director of My Little Best Friends Early Learning Center, located at 384 Main St. "In the past year, many new restaurants and business have opened. We see many more people downtown shopping and dining."
A popular addition to Pleasant Street has been Boda Borg, a reality gaming business that originated in Sweden.
"We attract about 165,000 guests a year," said Owner/CEO Chad Ellis. "While our customers range in age from 7 to well into their 80s, the average age is 29."
Ellis notes that his customers come from all around Greater Boston. Some drive, but having the Malden Center T Station a quick 5-minute walk — without having to navigate around the old Government Center — will be a bonus.
Opening in 1976, the Government Center was part of an urban planning trend from the 1950s through the 1970s to close shopping areas to automobile traffic and create large pedestrian ways in an effort to compete with suburban shopping centers and malls.
"We were late to the trend," said Malden's mayor, Gary Christenson. "By the time the building opened, the retail district was already in trouble. Shoppers were abandoning the downtown for the new shopping malls. Closing off Pleasant Street actually made things worse."
A 2012 report by the Metropolitan Area Planning Council said the government center complex — which also included the police station — created a dead zone and should be demolished and replaced.
"The old government center complex no longer met our needs. We did not need that much space, maintenance had been deferred, and it was not designed for current technology. It would have cost upwards of $15 million to rehab a building that still cut off Pleasant Street," Christenson said. "It was abundantly clear that we had to do something."
Malden's Government Center had blocked Pleasant Street for more than four decades.Joanne Rathe/Globe Staff/File 2010
The solution was to demolish the 130,000-square-foot complex and build in its place a transit-oriented development with 320 market-rate apartments, more than 22,500 square feet of street-level retail, and 330 parking spaces. It also includes a 50,000-square-foot condominium that will become Malden City Hall.
By creating a city hall condo within a mixed-use residential and retail center, Malden is doing something so new and unusual, it is difficult to find another example for comparison.
"Building a new city hall into a larger mixed-use redevelopment project is unique in the region," said Josh Fiala, principal planner for the MAPC.
Together, the new City Hall and the new police station, which opened on Eastern Avenue in 2016, cost about $36 million. Christenson cited three steps to funding the project.
First, Malden sold the 2.2-acre development site on Pleasant Street to the Jefferson Apartment Group of Virginia for approximately $10 million. Second, the city received three MassWorks awards, totaling $9.85 million. The remaining costs will be covered through bonding about $16 million.
"The police station was located on the old site where city hall was, so finding them a new home was part of the project," said Ron Hogan, Malden's director of parking. "We bought a parcel on Eastern Avenue that was an eyesore for the neighbors and the subject of many complaints."
There have been additional costs for relocating municipal services while the new city hall is being built, but Hogan said they are largely offset by savings in utilities and maintenance that had been required to run the old government center.
Access to public transportation is a key element in the redevelopment plan.
"I believe the downtown area will be invigorated by the reconnection of Pleasant Street and the removal of the city hall building, giving the nearly 12,000 daily riders who use the Malden Center T Stop much easier access to our restaurants and stores," Christenson said. "Even though the train station was nearby, there was no easy access. Pedestrians had to go through a maze from the station to local businesses."
The new Malden City Hall is expected to be fully occupied in late 2019 or early 2020.
"Malden gets a new city hall and the road to nowhere will be reconnected," said the mayor, "and we are achieving our ultimate goal, which is to stimulate economic development and strengthen the downtown businesses."

"Texans are now paying the lowest gas prices of 2018, as the statewide average has dipped below the previous recorded low set back in January of this year," AAA Texas/New Mexico Spokesman Daniel Armbruster said in a statement.
The entity has even unveiled an APP (www.AAA.com/mobile) to help motorists pinpoint the lowest prices in their area.
On the national level, Texas is among states in the south and southeast region which have landed on the Top 10 list of largest weekly declines. The other states are Mississippi, South Carolina, Alabama and Arkansas. With a $.07 drop, Florida and North Carolina reported the smallest decreases.
In Burnet County, the price free fall has tipped off a "price war" among fueling stations around the city of Marble Falls. As of Nov. 29, several locations had posted unleaded gas prices at $1.96 per gallon.
Petroleum officials credited the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) for the price tumble.
However, oil industry experts warned the downward trend could change course as early as the second week in December.
On December 6, OPEC is scheduled to meet to decide whether to curtail crude production by as much as a million barrels per day to reduce the supply. As a result fuel prices could spike again in America.
In the meantime, Jerry Schoppe of Fredericksburg, who drives through Marble Falls on his way to Lampasas County where he owns a ranch, said he would take advantage of the current consumer gains.
"I saw it below two bucks and I pulled right in. It's an overall savings," he said of his stop at a Marble Falls fueling station. "I don't think it will stay long. Gas prices fluctuate.

Residents Welfare Association vs State Of U.P. And 2 Others on 24 September, 2019
A.F.R.
Case :- WRIT – C No. – 28084 of 2019
Petitioner :- Residents Welfare Association
Respondent :- State Of U.P. And 2 Others
Counsel for Petitioner :- Swapnil Kumar,Sudhanshu Kumar
Counsel for Respondent :- C.S.C.,Anjali Upadhya,Archana Singh,Bhanu Bhushan Jauhari
Hon'ble Pradeep Kumar Singh Baghel,J.
Hon'ble Piyush Agrawal,J.
(Per Justice Piyush Agrawal)
Sri V.K.Singh, learned senior counsel assisted by Ms. Archana Singh has sought time to move an impleadment application on behalf of one of the flat owners of the Society which was opposed by Sri Swapnil Kumar, learned counsel for the petitioner on the ground that this writ petition has been filed by the Residents Welfare Association, hence he has no locus.
In view of Chapter XXII Rule 5(A) of the Allahabad High Court Rules the Court permits Sri V.K.Singh, learned senior counsel to appear and be heard in this case.
With the consent of the learned counsel for the parties the case is taken up for final disposal.
Present writ petition has been filed amongst other the following relief:
"issue a writ, order or direction in the nature of certiorari quashing the orders dated 9.4.2019 (Annexure 12) and 21.6.2019 (Annexure 13) issued by the respondent no.3."
The petitioner is a society registered under the SectionSocieties Registration Act, 1860 having Registration No. 2663 which was renewed from time to time. The Deputy Registrar, Firms Societies and Chits Mohanpuri Meerut, respondent no.2 by order dated 12.12.2017 cancelled the bye-laws of the petitioner and directed it to submit a new bye-laws as per model bye-laws under the U.P. Apartment (Promotion of Construction, Ownership SectionMaintenance) Act, 2010. In response to the said order the petitioner submitted a copy of new bye-laws to the respondent no.2 through registered post on 23.1.2018.
The respondent no.2 by his order dated 19.2.2018 has approved and registered the new bye-laws of the petitioner-Society. The said bye-laws of the petitioner was duly approved by the Great Noida Industrial Development Authority on 22.2.2018. Thereafter a notice was issued for cancellation of the bye-laws of the petitioner-society to which the petitioner submitted its reply. The respondent no.2 by order dated 30.6.2018 has cancelled the bye-laws of the petitioner against which the petitioner preferred Writ -C No. 26696 of 2018 which was partly allowed on 17.9.2018.
On 6.11.2018 the Secretary of the petitioner- society issued a notice for convening a special general body meeting to get the bye-laws approved. On 25.11.2018 the special general body meeting was held and bye-laws were framed and passed by the members present therein. The bye-laws were approved by the general house and presented before the competent authority- respondent no.3 on 30.11.2018 for its approval. The respondent no.3 by the impugned order dated 9.4.2019 has rejected the same on the ground that there are variation in Clause 39 from the model bye-laws. The petitioner on 23.4.2019 filed a review petitioner which was dismissed by the respondent no.3 by the impugned order dated 21.6.2019. Hence the present writ petition.
Heard Sri Swapnil Kumar along with Sudhanshu Kumar, learned counsel for the petitioner, Sri V.K.Singh, learned senior counsel Sri B.B.Jauhari, learned counsel for respondent no.3 and learned standing counsel for the State respondents.
Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the impugned orders dated 9.4.2019 and 21.6.2019 have been passed in gross violation of the principles of nature justice without recording any reason. He further submitted that an order without a valid reason cannot be sustained. He further submits that the impugned orders be set aside and direction be issued to the respondents to pass a fresh reasoned order.
Learned counsel for the respondents have no objection to it.
It is settled law that reason is the heartbeat of every conclusion. An order without valid reasons cannot be sustained. To give reasons is the rule of natural justice. One of the most important aspect for necessitating to record reason is that it substitutes subjectivity with objectivity. It is well settled that not only the judicial order, but also the administrative order must be supported by reasons recording in it.
Highlighting this rule, the Hon'ble Supreme Court, in the case of Assistant Commissioner, Commercial Tax Department, Works Contract Leasing, Kota Vs. Shukla Brothers, (2010) 4 SCC 785, has observed that the administrative authority and the tribunal are obliged to give reasons, absence whereof would render the order liable to judicial chastisement. The relevant paragraphs of the aforesaid judgement are quoted as under:-
"10. The increasing institution of cases in all Courts in India and its resultant burden upon the Courts has invited attention of all concerned in the justice administration system. Despite heavy quantum of cases in Courts, in our view, it would neither be permissible nor possible to state as a principle of law, that while exercising power of judicial review on administrative action and more particularly judgment of courts in appeal before the higher Court, providing of reasons can never be dispensed with. The doctrine of audi alteram partem has three basic essentials. Firstly, a person against whom an order is required to be passed or whose rights are likely to be affected adversely must be granted an opportunity of being heard. Secondly, the concerned authority should provide a fair and transparent procedure and lastly, the authority concerned must apply its mind and dispose of the matter by a reasoned or speaking order. This has been uniformly applied by courts in India and abroad.
11. The Supreme Court in the case of SectionS.N. Mukherjee v. Union of India [(1990) 4 SCC 594], while referring to the practice adopted and insistence placed by the Courts in United States, emphasized the importance of recording of reasons for decisions by the administrative authorities and tribunals. It said "administrative process will best be vindicated by clarity in its exercise". To enable the Courts to exercise the power of review in consonance with settled principles, the authorities are advised of the considerations underlining the action under review. This Court with approval stated:-
"11. …the orderly functioning of the process of review requires that the grounds upon which the administrative agency acted be clearly disclosed and adequately sustained."
12. In exercise of the power of judicial review, the concept of reasoned orders/actions has been enforced equally by the foreign courts as by the courts in India. The administrative authority and tribunals are obliged to give reasons, absence whereof could render the order liable to judicial chastisement. Thus, it will not be far from absolute principle of law that the Courts should record reasons for its conclusions to enable the appellate or higher Courts to exercise their jurisdiction appropriately and in accordance with law. It is the reasoning alone, that can enable a higher or an appellate court to appreciate the controversy in issue in its correct perspective and to hold whether the reasoning recorded by the Court whose order is impugned, is sustainable in law and whether it has adopted the correct legal approach. To sub-serve the purpose of justice delivery system, therefore, it is essential that the Courts should record reasons for its conclusions, whether disposing of the case at admission stage or after regular hearing.
13. At the cost of repetition, we may notice, that this Court has consistently taken the view that recording of reasons is an essential feature of dispensation of justice. A litigant who approaches the Court with any grievance in accordance with law is entitled to know the reasons for grant or rejection of his prayer. Reasons are the soul of orders. Non-recording of reasons could lead to dual infirmities; firstly, it may cause prejudice to the affected party and secondly, more particularly, hamper the proper administration of justice. These principles are not only applicable to administrative or executive actions, but they apply with equal force and, in fact, with a greater degree of precision to judicial pronouncements. A judgment without reasons causes prejudice to the person against whom it is pronounced, as that litigant is unable to know the ground which weighed with the Court in rejecting his claim and also causes impediments in his taking adequate and appropriate grounds before the higher Court in the event of challenge to that judgment. Now, we may refer to certain judgments of this Court as well as of the High Courts which have taken this view.
14. The principle of natural justice has twin ingredients; firstly, the person who is likely to be adversely affected by the action of the authorities should be given notice to show cause thereof and granted an opportunity of hearing and secondly, the orders so passed by the authorities should give reason for arriving at any conclusion showing proper application of mind. Violation of either of them could in the given facts and circumstances of the case, vitiate the order itself. Such rule being applicable to the administrative authorities certainly requires that the judgment of the Court should meet with this requirement with higher degree of satisfaction. The order of an administrative authority may not provide reasons like a judgment but the order must be supported by the reasons of rationality. The distinction between passing of an order by an administrative or quasi-judicial authority has practically extinguished and both are required to pass reasoned orders.
15. In the case of SectionSiemens Engineering and Manufacturing Co. of India Ltd. v. Union of India and Anr. [AIR 1976 SC 1785], the Supreme Court held as under:-
"6. ……If courts of law are to be replaced by administrative authorities and tribunals, as indeed, in some kinds of cases, with the proliferation of Administrative Law, they may have to be so replaced, it is essential that administrative authorities and tribunals should accord fair and proper hearing to the persons sought to be affected by their orders and give sufficiently clear and explicit reasons in support of the orders made by them. Then alone administrative authorities and tribunals exercising quasi-judicial function will be able to justify their existence and carry credibility with the people by inspiring confidence in the adjudicatory process. The rule requiring reasons to be given in support of an order is, like the principle of audi alteram partem, a basic principle of natural justice which must inform every quasi-judicial process and this rule must be observed in its proper spirit and mere pretence of compliance with it would not satisfy the requirement of law. …"
16. In the case of SectionMc Dermott International Inc. v. Burn Standard Co. Ltd. and Ors. (2006) SLT 345, the Supreme Court clarified the rationality behind providing of reasons and stated the principle as follows:-
"56. . . Reason is a ground or motive for a belief or a course of action, a statement in justification or explanation of belief or action. It is in this sense that the award must state reasons for the amount awarded.
The rationale of the requirement of reasons is that reasons assure that the arbitrator has not acted capriciously. Reasons reveal the grounds on which the Arbitrator reached the conclusion which adversely affects the interests of a party. The contractual stipulation of reasons means, as held in Poyser and Mills' Arbitration in Re, `proper adequate reasons'. Such reasons shall not only be intelligible but shall be a reason connected with the case which the Court can see is proper. Contradictory reasons are equal to lack of reasons. . . ."
17. SectionIn Gurdial Singh Fijji v. State of Punjab [(1979) 2 SCC 368], while dealing with the matter of selection of candidates who could be under review, if not found suitable otherwise, the Court explained the reasons being a link between the materials on which certain conclusions are based and the actual conclusions and held, that where providing reasons for proposed supersession were essential, then it could not be held to be a valid reason that the concerned officer's record was not such as to justify his selection was not contemplated and thus was not legal. In this context, the Court held:-
"… "Reasons" are the links between the materials on which certain conclusions are based and the actual conclusions. The Court accordingly held that the mandatory provisions of Regulation 5(5) were not complied with by the Selection Committee. That an officer was "not found suitable" is the conclusion and not a reason in support of the decision to supersede him. True, that it is not expected that the Selection Committee should give anything approaching the judgment of a Court, but it must at least state, as briefly as it may, why it came to the conclusion that the officer concerned was found to be not suitable for inclusion in the Select List."
This principle has been extended to administrative actions on the premise that it applies with greater rigor to the judgments of the Courts.
18. SectionIn State of Maharashtra v. Vithal Rao Pritirao Chawan [(1981) 4 SCC 129], while remanding the matter to the High Court for examination of certain issues raised, this Court observed:
". . . It would be for the benefit of this Court that a speaking judgment is given."
19. In the cases where the Courts have not recorded reasons in the judgment, legality, propriety and correctness of the orders by the Court of competent jurisdiction are challenged in absence of proper discussion. The requirement of recording reasons is applicable with greater rigor to the judicial proceedings. The orders of the Court must reflect what weighed with the Court in granting or declining the relief claimed by the applicant. In this regard we may refer to certain judgments of this Court.
20. A Bench of Bombay High Court in the case of M/s. Pipe Arts India Pvt. Ltd. V. Gangadhar Nathuji Golamare [2008 (6) Maharashtra Law Journal 280], wherein the Bench was concerned with an appeal against an order, where prayer for an interim relief was rejected without stating any reasons in a writ petition challenging the order of the Labour Court noticed, that legality, propriety and correctness of the order was challenged on the ground that no reason was recorded by the learned Single Judge while rejecting the prayer and this has seriously prejudiced the interest of justice. After a detailed discussion on the subject, the Court held:-
"8. The Supreme Court and different High Courts have taken the view that it is always desirable to record reasons in support of the Government actions whether administrative or quasi judicial. Even if the statutory rules do not impose an obligation upon the authorities still it is expected of the authorities concerned to act fairly and in consonance with basic rule of law. These concepts would require that any order, particularly, the order which can be subject matter of judicial review, is reasoned one. Even in the case of SectionChabungbambohal Singh v. Union of India and Ors. 1995 (Suppl) 2 SCC 83, the Court held as under:
"8. …His assessment was, however, recorded as "very good" whereas qua the appellant it had been stated unfit. As the appellant was being superseded by one of his juniors, we do not think if it was enough on the part of the Selection Committee to have merely stated unfit, and then to recommend the name of one of his juniors. No reason for unfitness, is reflected in the proceedings, as against what earlier Selection Committees had done to which reference has already been made."
10. In the case of SectionJawahar Lal Singh v. Naresh Singh and Ors. (1987) 2 SCC 222, accepting the plea that absence of examination of reasons by the High Court on the basis of which the trial Court discarded prosecution evidence and recorded the finding of an acquittal in favour of all the accused was not appropriate, the Supreme Court held that the order should record reasons. Recording of proper reasons would be essential, so that the Appellate Court would have advantage of considering the considered opinion of the High Court on the reasons which had weighed with the trial Court.
12. In the case of SectionState of Punjab and Ors. v. Surinder Kumar and Ors. [(1992) 1 SCC 489], while noticing the jurisdictional distinction between SectionArticle 142 and SectionArticle 226 of the Constitution of India, the Supreme Court stated that powers of the Supreme Court under SectionArticle 142 are much wider and the Supreme Court would pass orders to do complete justice. The Supreme Court further reiterated the principle with approval that the High Court has the jurisdiction to dismiss petitions or criminal revisions in limini or grant leave asked for by the petitioner but for adequate reasons which should be recorded in the order. The High Court may not pass cryptic order in relation to regularisation of service of the respondents in view of certain directions passed by the Supreme Court under SectionArticle 142 of the Constitution of India. Absence of reasoning did not find favour with the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court also stated the principle that powers of the High Court were circumscribed by limitations discussed and declared by judicial decision and it cannot transgress the limits on the basis of whims or subjective opinion varying from Judge to Judge.
13. In the case of SectionHindustan Times Ltd. v. Union of India and Ors. [(1998) 2 SCC 242], the Supreme Court while dealing with the cases under the Labour Laws and Employees' Provident Funds and SectionMiscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952 observed that even when the petition under SectionArticle 226 is dismissed in limini, it is expected of the High Court to pass a speaking order, may be briefly.
14. Consistent with the view expressed by the Supreme Court in the afore-referred cases, in the case of SectionState of U.P. v. Battan and Ors. [(2001) 10 SCC 607], the Supreme Court held as under:
"4. …The High Court has not given any reasons for refusing to grant leave to file appeal against acquittal. The manner in which appeal against acquittal has been dealt with by the High Court leaves much to be desired. Reasons introduce clarity in an order. On plainest consideration of justice, the High Court ought to have set forth its reasons, howsoever brief, in its order. The absence of reasons has rendered the High Court order not sustainable."
15. Similar view was also taken by the Supreme Court in the case of Raj Kishore Jha v. State of Bihar and Ors. JT 2003 (Supp.2) SC 354.
16. In a very recent judgment, the Supreme Court in the case of SectionState of Orissa v. Dhaniram Luhar (2004) 5 SCC 568 while dealing with the criminal appeal, insisted that the reasons in support of the decision was a cardinal principle and the High Court should record its reasons while disposing of the matter. The Court held as under:
"8. Even in respect of administrative orders SectionLord Denning, M.R. In Breen v. Amalgamated Engg. Union observed: "The giving of reasons is one of the fundamentals of good administration." In Alexander Machinery (Dudley) Ltd. v. Crabtree it was observed: "Failure to give reasons amounts to denial of justice." "Reasons are live links between the mind of the decision-taker to the controversy in question and the decision or conclusion arrived at." Reasons substitute subjectivity by objectivity. The emphasis on recording reasons is that if the decision reveals the "inscrutable face of the sphinx", it can, by its silence, render it virtually impossible for the Courts to perform their appellate function or exercise the power of judicial review in adjudging the validity of the decision. Right to reason is an indispensable part of a sound judicial system; reasons at least sufficient to indicate an application of mind to the matter before Court. Another rationale is that the affected party can know why the decision has gone against him. One of the salutary requirements of natural justice is spelling out reasons for the order made; in other words, a speaking-out. The "inscrutable face of the sphinx" is ordinarily incongruous with a judicial or quasi-judicial performance."
17. Following this very view, the Supreme Court in another very recent judgment delivered on 22nd February, 2008, in the case of SectionState of Rajasthan v. Rajendra Prasad Jain Criminal Appeal No. 360/2008 (Arising out of SLP (Crl.) No. 904/2007) stated that "reason is the heartbeat of every conclusion, and without the same it becomes lifeless."
18. Providing of reasons in orders is of essence in judicial proceedings. Every litigant who approaches the Court with a prayer is entitled to know the reasons for acceptance or rejection of such request. Either of the parties to the lis has a right of appeal and, therefore, it is essential for them to know the considered opinion of the Court to make the remedy of appeal meaningful. It is the reasoning which ultimately culminates into final decision which may be subject to examination of the appellate or other higher Courts. It is not only desirable but, in view of the consistent position of law,mandatory for the Court to pass orders while recording reasons in support thereof, however, brief they may be. Brevity in reasoning cannot be understood in legal parlance as absence of reasons. While no reasoning in support of judicial orders is impermissible, the brief reasoning would suffice to meet the ends of justice at least at the interlocutory stages and would render the remedy of appeal purposeful and meaningful. It is a settled canon of legal jurisprudence that the Courts are vested with discretionary powers but such powers are to be exercised judiciously, equitably and in consonance with the settled principles of law. Whether or not, such judicial discretion has been exercised in accordance with the accepted norms, can only be reflected by the reasons recorded in the order impugned before the higher Court. Often it is said that absence of reasoning may ipso facto indicate whimsical exercise of judicial discretion. Patricia Wald, Chief Justice of the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals in the Article, Blackrobed Bureaucracy Or Collegiality Under Challenge, (42 MD.L. REV. 766, 782 (1983), observed as under:-
"My own guiding principle is that virtually every appellate decision requires some statement of reasons. The discipline of writing even a few sentences or paragraphs explaining the basis for the judgment insures a level of thought and scrutiny by the Court that a bare signal of affirmance, dismissal, or reversal does not."
19. The Court cannot lose sight of the fact that a losing litigant has a cause to plead and a right to challenge the order if it is adverse to him. Opinion of the Court alone can explain the cause which led to passing of the final order. Whether an argument was rejected validly or otherwise, reasoning of the order alone can show. To evaluate the submissions is obligation of the Court and to know the reasons for rejection of its contention is a legitimate expectation on the part of the litigant.Another facet of providing reasoning is to give it a value of precedent which can help in reduction of frivolous litigation. Paul D. Carrington, Daniel J Meador and Maurice Rosenburg, Justice on Appeal 10 (West 1976), observed as under:-
"When reasons are announced and can be weighed, the public can have assurance that the correcting process is working. Announcing reasons can also provide public understanding of how the numerous decisions of the system are integrated. In a busy Court, the reasons are an essential demonstration that the Court did in fact fix its mind on the case at hand. An unreasoned decision has very little claim to acceptance by the defeated party, and is difficult or impossible to accept as an act reflecting systematic application of legal principles. Moreover, the necessity of stating reasons not infrequently changes the results by forcing the judges to come to grips with nettlesome facts or issues which their normal instincts would otherwise cause them to avoid."
20. The reasoning in the opinion of the Court, thus, can effectively be analysed or scrutinized by the Appellate Court. The reasons indicated by the Court could be accepted by the Appellate Court without presuming what weighed with the Court while coming to the impugned decision. The cause of expeditious and effective disposal would be furthered by such an approach. A right of appeal could be created by a special statute or under the provisions of the Code governing the procedure. In either of them, absence of reasoning may have the effect of negating the purpose or right of appeal and, thus, may not achieve the ends of justice.
21. It will be useful to refer words of Justice Roslyn Atkinson, Supreme Court of Queensland, at AIJA Conference at Brisbane on September 13, 2002 in relation to Judgment Writing. Describing that some judgment could be complex, in distinction to routine judgments, where one requires deeper thoughts, and the other could be disposed of easily but in either cases, reasons they must have. While speaking about purpose of the judgment, he said,
"The first matter to consider is the purpose of the judgment. To my mind there are four purposes for any judgment that is written: –
(1) to clarify your own thoughts;
(2) to explain your decision to the parties;
(3) to communicate the reasons for the decision to the public; and
(4) to provide reasons for an appeal Court to consider."
22. Clarity of thought leads to proper reasoning and proper reasoning is the foundation of a just and fair decision. In Alexander Machinery (Dudley) Ltd. v. Crabtree 1974 ICR 120, the Court went to the extent of observing that "Failure to give reasons amounts to denial of justice". Reasons are really linchpin to administration of justice. They are link between the mind of the decision taker and the controversy in question. To justify our conclusion, reasons are essential. Absence of reasoning would render the judicial order liable to interference by the higher Court. Reasons are the soul of the decision and its absence would render the order open to judicial chastism. The consistent judicial opinion is that every order determining rights of the parties in a Court of law ought not to be recorded without supportive reasons. Issuing reasoned order is not only beneficial to the higher Courts but is even of great utility for providing public understanding of law and imposing self- discipline in the Judge as their discretion is controlled by well established norms. The contention raised before us that absence of reasoning in the impugned order would render the order liable to be set aside, particularly, in face of the fact that the learned Judge found merit in the writ petition and issued rule, therefore, needs to be accepted. We have already noticed that orders even at interlocutory stages may not be as detailed as judgments but should be supported by reason howsoever briefly stated. Absence of reasoning is impermissible in judicial pronouncement. It cannot be disputed that the order in question substantially affect the rights of the parties. There is an award in favour of the workmen and the management had prayed for stay of the operation of the award. The Court has to consider such a plea keeping in view the provisions of Section 17-B of the Industrial Disputes Act, where such a prayer is neither impermissible nor improper. The contentions raised by the parties in support of their respective claims are expected to be dealt with by reasoned orders. We are not intentionally expressing any opinion on the merits of the contentions alleged to have been raised by respective parties before the learned single Judge. Suffice it to note that the impugned order is silent in this regard. According to the learned Counsel appearing for the appellant, various contentions were raised in support of the reliefs claimed but all apparently, have found no favour with the learned Judge and that too for no reasons, as is demonstrated from the order impugned in the present appeals."
21. The principles stated by this Court, as noticed supra, have been reiterated with approval by a Bench of this Court in a very recent judgment, in SectionState of Uttaranchal v. Sunil Kumar Singh Negi [(2008) 11 SCC 205], where the Court noticed the order of the High Court which is reproduced hereunder:-
"I have perused the order dated 27.5.2005 passed by Respondent 2 and I do not find any illegality in the order so as to interfere under SectionArticle 226Section/227 of the Constitution of India. The writ petition lacks merit and is liable to be dismissed."
and the Court concluded as under:-
"In view of the specific stand taken by the Department in the affidavit which we have referred to above, the cryptic order passed by the High Court cannot be sustained. The absence of reasons has rendered the High Court order not sustainable. Similar view was expressed in SectionState of U.P. v. Battan1. About two decades back in SectionState of Maharashtra v. Vithal Rao Pritirao Chawan the desirability of a speaking order was highlighted. The requirement of indicating reasons has been judicially recognised as imperative. The view was reiterated in SectionJawahar Lal Singh v. Naresh Singh.
10. SectionIn Raj Kishore Jha v. State of Bihar this Court has held that reason is the heartbeat of every conclusion and without the same, it becomes lifeless.
"11. 8. … Right to reason is an indispensable part of a sound judicial system; reasons at least sufficient to indicate an application of mind to the matter before court. Another rationale is that the affected party can know why the decision has gone against him. One of the salutary requirements of natural justice is spelling out reasons for the order made;..
12. In the light of the factual details particularly with reference to the stand taken by the Horticulture Department at length in the writ petition and in the light of the principles enunciated by this Court, namely, right to reason is an indispensable part of sound judicial system and reflect the application of mind on the part of the court, we are satisfied that the impugned order of the High Court cannot be sustained."
22. Besides referring to the above well-established principles, it will also be useful to refer to some text on the subject. H.W.R. Wade in the book "Administrative Law, 7th Edition, stated that the flavour of said reasons is violative of a statutory duty to waive reasons which are normally mandatory. Supporting a view that reasons for decision are essential, it was stated:-
"…..A right to reasons is, therefore, an indispensable part of a sound system of judicial review. Natural justice may provide the best rubric for it, since the giving of reasons is required by the ordinary man's sense of justice…
…..Reasoned decisions are not only vital for the purposes of showing the citizen that he is receiving justice: they are also a valuable discipline for the tribunal itself….."
23. We are not venturing to comment upon the correctness or otherwise of the contentions of law raised before the High Court in the present petition, but it was certainly expected of the High Court to record some kind of reasons for rejecting the revision petition filed by the Department at the very threshold. A litigant has a legitimate expectation of knowing reasons for rejection of his claim/prayer. It is then alone, that a party would be in a position to challenge the order on appropriate grounds. Besides, this would be for the benefit of the higher or the appellate court. As arguments bring things hidden and obscure to the light of reasons, reasoned judgment where the law and factual matrix of the case is discussed, provides lucidity and foundation for conclusions or exercise of judicial discretion by the courts. Reason is the very life of law. When the reason of a law once ceases, the law itself generally ceases (Wharton's Law Lexicon). Such is the significance of reasoning in any rule of law. Giving reasons furthers the cause of justice as well as avoids uncertainty. As a matter of fact it helps in the observance of law of precedent. Absence of reasons on the contrary essentially introduces an element of uncertainty, dis- satisfaction and give entirely different dimensions to the questions of law raised before the higher/appellate courts. In our view, the court should provide its own grounds and reasons for rejecting claim/prayer of a party whether at the very threshold i.e. at admission stage or after regular hearing, howsoever precise they may be.
24. Reason is the very life of law. When the reason of a law once ceases, the law itself generally ceases (Wharton's Law Lexicon). Such is the significance of reasoning in any rule of law.

In our view, the court should provide its own grounds and reasons for rejecting claim/prayer of a party whether at the very threshold i.e. at admission stage or after regular hearing, howsoever precise they may be.
25. We would reiterate the principle that when reasons are announced and can be weighed, the public can have assurance that process of correction is in place and working. It is the requirement of law that correction process of judgments should not only appear to be implemented but also seem to have been properly implemented. Reasons for an order would ensure and enhance public confidence and would provide due satisfaction to the consumer of justice under our justice dispensation system. It may not be very correct in law to say, that there is a qualified duty imposed upon the Courts to record reasons.
26. Our procedural law and the established practice, in fact, imposes unqualified obligation upon the Courts to record reasons. There is hardly any statutory provision under the SectionIncome Tax Act or under the Constitution itself requiring recording of reasons in the judgments but it is no more res integra and stands unequivocally settled by different judgments of this Court holding that, the courts and tribunals are required to pass reasoned judgments/orders. In fact, Order XIV Rule 2 read with Order XX Rule 1 of the Code of Civil Procedure requires that, the Court should record findings on each issue and such findings which obviously should be reasoned would form part of the judgment, which in turn would be the basis for writing a decree of the Court.
27. By practice adopted in all Courts and by virtue of judge made law, the concept of reasoned judgment has become an indispensable part of basic rule of law and, in fact, is a mandatory requirement of the procedural law. Clarity of thoughts leads to clarity of vision and proper reasoning is the foundation of a just and fair decision. In the case of Alexander Machinery (Dudley) Ltd. (supra), there are apt observations in this regard to say "failure to give reasons amounts to denial of justice". Reasons are the real live links to the administration of justice. With respect we will contribute to this view. There is a rationale, logic and purpose behind a reasoned judgment. A reasoned judgment is primarily written to clarify own thoughts; communicate the reasons for the decision to the concerned and to provide and ensure that such reasons can be appropriately considered by the appellate/higher Court. Absence of reasons thus would lead to frustrate the very object stated hereinabove. The order in the present case is as cryptic as it was in the case of Sunil Kumar Singh Negi (supra). Being a cryptic order and for the reasons recorded in that case by this Court which we also adopt, the impugned order in the present appeal should meet the same fate.
28. The order in the present case is as cryptic as it was in the case of Sunil Kumar Singh Negi (supra). Being a cryptic order and for the reasons recorded in that case by this Court which we also adopt, the impugned order in the present appeal should meet the same fate."
The Supreme Court in a long line of decisions has settled that the hallmark of order and exercise of judicial power of the judicial officers/ quasi-judicial officers and administrative officers must be supported by reasons. Even in the case of interim orders the Supreme Court in SectionSant Lal Gupta v. Modern Co-operative Group Housing Society Ltd. and others, 2010 LawSuit (SC) 719 : 2010 (13) SCC 336, has held that if the High Court passes an interim order, it must be supported by reason.
A Constitution Bench of the Supreme Court in the case of SectionS.N. Mukherjee v. Union of India, AIR 1990 SC 1984, which has been consistently followed by the Supreme Court, has held that if an order is without reason, the order becomes arbitrary. The said judgment has been followed in Kranti Associates Private Limited Vs. Masood Ahmed Khan, (2010) 9 SCC 496, and Raj Kishore Jha Vs. State of Bihar, (2003) 11 SCC 519. In the aforesaid cases, the Supreme Court has held that the reasons are heartbeats of the order and if there is no reason, the order becomes dead.
We find that the authority concerned has only recorded its conclusion without assigning any reason. It is a well settled law that the administrative order also must be supported by the reasons recorded in it. The reason is heartbeat of every conclusion. The absence of reason makes an order unsustainable. One of the most important aspects for insisting to record reason is that it substitutes the subjectivity with objectivity. It is also treated as a part of natural justice and fair play.
The Hon'ble Supreme Court has consistently taken the view that recording of reason is an essential feature of dispensation of justice. A litigant, who approaches the Court with a grievance in accordance with law, is entitled to know the reason for grant or rejection of his prayer. An administrative order without reasons causes prejudice to the person against whom it is pronounced, as that litigant is unable to know the ground which weighed with the Authority in rejecting his claim and also causes impediments in his taking adequate and appropriate grounds before the higher Court in the event of challenge to that administrative order.
In view of the aforesaid cases of the Hon'ble Supreme Court it is clear that the reason is the heartbeat of the order and without reason, the order becomes dead.
The administrative order, without any reason, causes prejudice to the person against whom it is passed. The Hon'ble Supreme Court, time and again, has emphasized the importance of recording reason for the decision by the administrative authorities.
From a perusal of the materials available on record we find that while passing the impugned orders dated 9.4.2019 and 21.6.2019 the respondent no.3 has not assigned any reason in not accepting the bye-laws submitted by the petitioner.
For the reasons mentioned above, we find that the impugned orders dated 9.4.2019 and 21.6.2019 cannot be sustained in the eyes of law and the same are accordingly, quashed.
The matter is remanded back to the respondent no.3 for passing a fresh reasoned and speaking order after affording an opportunity of hearing to all the stake holders expeditiously preferably within a period of three months from the date of production of a certified copy of this order before him.
It is made clear that we have not adjudicated the claim of the petitioner on merits and the respondent no.3 is free to pass an appropriate reasoned order in accordance with law.
With the aforesaid observations/directions, the writ petition is disposed of.

Before begin discussing the hanar language, we must first talk about Nyahir, or "The First Cresting Bloom," celebrated among hanar.
This religious holiday honors the "gift of speech." Many hanar believe they are able to talk thanks to the Protheans, the ones they call the "Enkindlers" and worship. Their homeworld, Kahje, contains many Protheans ruins, which might explain why the hanar worship them so intensely.
It's possible quarians spoke different dialects before the Morning War but are now speaking one language named Khelish. We're lucky enough that we know some words and sentences from Khelish, unlike other alien languages that are still a bit of a mystery to us. During an AMA on Reddit, Catherine M. Valente, the writer of Annihilation, explained that she used Hebrew as a model language for Khelish.
Elcor's sense of smell is extremely powerful. With a whiff of their surroundings, they can receive a flood of information about their location and the people around them. An elcor can even smell a corpse from miles away, as seen in the book Annihilation. Some situations can even be painful to them due to sensory overload.
The information they receive has to be interpreted. It still allows them to get a good understanding of their homeworld and other places they travel to, like the Citadel.
What are translators? How do they work?
Humans in the Mass Effect universe converse in different languages (Spanish, Mandarin, Arabic and Swahili are among the noted ones). Aliens, meanwhile, also have multiple languages and dialects. All species use a translator, which allows for simultaneous and accurate translation. To make the translator work, every species first provides glossaries and linguistic rules. Since languages are constantly evolving, regular updates are made.
Happy New Year everyone! I hope you all had a great time celebrating and are ready, resolutions or not, to kick start the year.
The Mass Effect universe is both beautiful and strange. It has never finished revealing itself to us. As lore gremlins, we can never truly know something for sure because a lot of what we do is making sense of canon and interpreting it. We're human and we don't have a perfect memory. That's okay. If we don't remember every obscure fact about elcor, salarians or batarians, someone will remind us. That's how it goes, and that's why having such a strong community of fans is really fun. So let's chill out and do our best here.
Thank you for loving the Mass Effect universe so much. You keep it alive every day with a variety of new content including walkthroughs, fanart, and fanfiction. Thank you for reminding me that this fictional universe and its lore are special. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 9,903 |

What is the link between Heart Disease and Gum Disease (Periodontal Disease)?
If your doctor were to say your cholesterol levels were too high and you had double the chance of developing heart disease, would you do something about it? Most people would. They may consult a nutritionist, start an exercise regimen or simply modify their diet by eliminating cheese or switching to egg whites. Now suppose you discovered the incidence of heart disease was twice as high in people with periodontal disease, and you were one of the millions of people who suffered from this condition. Would you set up an appointment with your dentist? According to some studies, periodontal disease (which affects the bone and tissue surrounding your teeth) has proven to be a stronger risk factor than any of the other conditions usually linked to heart disease (e.g., hypertension, high cholesterol, age and gender). Oral bacteria can infect damaged hearts and certain oral bacteria can cause platelets to aggregate. New findings have emerged to explain how and why bacteria that cause periodontal disease can also increase the risk of heart disease. Researchers at Harvard's School of Dental Medicine and presenters at the 150th annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science also concluded that the bacteria found in plaque (the primary etiological factor causing gum disease) is linked to coronary disease. People with periodontal disease are up to two times as likely to suffer a fatal heart attack and nearly three times more likely to suffer a stroke as those individuals without this disease. It is speculated that oral bacteria, the most common form being streptococci, enters the bloodstream through small ulcers in the gum tissue. The bacteria cause the platelets in the bloodstream to aggregate and form blood clots (thrombi) which can block blood vessels and infect heart valves.
When you consider the effects of gum disease, think not only in terms of how it affects your teeth, but also how it could possibly lead to a serious and perhaps fatal infection from the release of bacteria into your bloodstream. Avoid other risk factors such as smoking and chewing tobacco, both of which have a detrimental effect on the severity of the gum disease. Systemic diseases like diabetes can lower the oral tissue's resistance to infection, making periodontal disease even more severe. Review your medical history with your dentist. Many of the medications or therapeutic drugs that you may be taking can decrease your salivary flow and adversely affect your teeth and gums. Prevention is the key to success. Teeth are intended to last you a lifetime, and a healthy heart and body should help improve your overall quality of life. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 9,905 |

Student Interns with Mercedes-Benz of Australia
Cedarville News Student Interns with Mercedes-Benz of Australia
by Emily Finlay, Public Relations Writer
A Cedarville University student served an internship as an industrial designer with Mercedes-Benz of Australia for three months this summer.
Elena Goodale, an industrial and innovative design student, learned of the internship through her father, who works with Mercedes-Benz Financial in Australia. After much deliberation, she applied and decided to let whatever would happen, happen.
When she received word that she had been accepted, she felt surprised and blessed.
"I felt like I didn't deserve it," Goodale said. "It's a testament that if you step aside and let God work, great things will happen."
Once she began work in the internship, as the only designer on her team, she was given the significant project of working with dealership development and brand identity for the world-renowned company, along with other tasks and projects.
At the end of her internship, which lasted from May to August, Goodale was told she had accomplished six months' worth of work in only three months. This accomplishment, she said, is a huge testament to the training she has received in the industrial and innovative design program. For the program, Cedarville has partnered with the International Center for Creativity in Columbus, Ohio, to give students the opportunity to get real-world, hands-on design experience.
"The program at the ICC is the only one like it," said Goodale. "The skills I have been taught that are normal, the world thinks are incredible. But they're just normal things."
As a senior, Goodale is required to complete a senior project involving the four principles of design she has been taught in her time in the program. She decided to use the project as an opportunity to do something with real-world value for Mercedes-Benz and presented her dealership redesign proposal before a group of distinguished individuals who work at the company.
The group was impressed with Goodale and her proposal, but decided not to give their approval in favor of a better opportunity, giving a recommendation to the Advanced Design Center in Germany. Goodale personally met with the CEO of Mercedes-Benz of Australia, who extended her internship and sent a recommendation for an internship and senior project to the director of Mercedes-Benz design in Germany. She is scheduled for an interview at a California office in October.
"My goal was to be myself," Goodale said of her time in her internship. "I wanted to be humbly confident. I'm good at what I do because of Him, not because of me."
Located in southwest Ohio, Cedarville University attracts 3,400 undergraduate, graduate and online students to more than 100 areas of study. Inspiring greatness for over 125 years, Cedarville is a Christ-centered learning community recognized nationally for rigorous academic programs, strong graduation and retention rates, accredited professional and health science offerings and leading student satisfaction ratings.

DMPQ- Comment on the current status of Technology and Innovation in India.
May 13, 2019 May 6, 2019 by rawan239
Recognizing the crucial role of technology and innovation in economic development, India's policy makers have taken several initiatives to promote science, technology and innovation. Various schemes have been launched to attract, nurture and retain young researchers and women scientists in the field of scientific research. Some important achievements in the field of science and technology are enumerated below:
India has become a major destination for outsourced R&D activities. We currently have more than 1,100 R&D centres set up by multinational companies (MNCs) such as IBM, Google, Microsoft, Intel, Lupin, Wockhardt, etc. These R&D centres cover areas including information and communication technologies, biotechnology, and aerospace, automotive, chemicals and materials technology. India's relatively strong intellectual property regime will facilitate its emergemce as a major R&D centre.
Indian scientists are at the forefront of some global groundbreaking work. Recent contributions by Indian scientists to frontier research and technology have been encouraging. For example, 37 Indian scientists from nine Indian institutions played a key role in the discovery of gravitational waves that received the Physics Nobel prize in 2017. Indian scientists also contributed to the discovery of a neutron star merger at Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO), USA.
The development of Brahmos, advanced air defence supersonic interceptor missiles, diverse missiles and rocket systems, remotely piloted vehicles, light combat aircraft, etc., are brilliant examples of India's progress in strategic and defence technologies.India now ranks amongst a handful of nations that have credible capabilities in the field of space technology. The upgrading from SLV to ASLV and PSLV to GSLV, the first moon orbiter project Chandrayan-1, Mars Orbiter Mission and the recent simultaneous launch of 104 satellites are India's significant achievements
India is now the third largest country in terms of the number of start-ups. This number is expected to rise exponentiallyin the coming years. The government has set up the Atal Innovation Mission (AIM) to transform radically the innovation, entrepreneurship and start-up ecosystem of the country. While India has improved in most areas of technology, it is also necessary to recognize the challenges that we need to overcome to become an innovation led society.

This wheel is from LadyQueen and contains six different fluorescent coloured studs. Of each colour there are both square studs and round studs. The square studs are 3mm and the round ones are 2mm.
Some nail accessories are overly 3D which makes wearing them a little difficult. These studs aren't huge and don't stick out too much and as such are easy to wear.
In the past I have been known to paint plain silver studs so that they were the colour I wanted, these studs mean I don't have to fiddle about painting tiny squares, waiting for them to dry before applying them. Also they come in fluorescent colours which I don't own in nail polish, so couldn't DIY myself.
To use these I just stick them to my nails while my top coat is still wet, you could use nail glue for a more secure fix. You can use top coat over the top of the studs to seal them in to the nail which will help them to last longer.
Below are some nail designs I have done using the studs, clearly I was feeling the summer when I used these studs!
I like your design. They are so beautiful! Super cool! | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 9,911 |

Cerveteri er en italiensk by og kommune i provinsen Viterbo i regionen Lazio, som var en etruskisk storby, kendt i dag især for den store etruskiske nekropolis Banditaccia, som blev optaget på UNESCO verdensarvsliste i 2004 sammen med Tarquinias etruskiske gravsteder. Storbyen Cisra/Caere var en del af den Etruskiske Liga og var på sit højdepunkt i år 600 fvt. beboet af mellem 25000-40000 indbyggere.. Byen er i dag desuden DOC vinsområde, kendt som Cerveteri DOC.
Bynavn
Byens etruskiske navn var Cisra eller Caisra , de antikke romere kaldte byen Caere, de antikke grækere kendte den Agylla (Άγυλλα) og fønikerne kendte den som Kyšry'. Det italienske navn Cervetari stammer fra Caere Vetus, som den gamle bydel blev kaldt i det 13. århundrede for at skelne den fra den nyere bydel Caere Novum, som i dag udgør den moderne, beboede by Caere.
Ærkologiske fund
Den antikke, etruskiske by var større end den moderne by i dag. Der var mindst 6 templer i byen, hvoraf to er udgravede i dag (et af disse templer var tilegnet gudinden Hera). Nekropolis og oldtidsbyens rester er så store, at de kun er delvist udgravede i dag og udgravningerne fortsætter. Nekropolis Banditaccia dækker cirka 400 hektar, hvoraf 10 ha kan blive set af besøgende, og indeholder cirka 1000 grave, hvoraf de store familiegrave af typen tumulus, og små simple grave. Et af de mest berømte grave er den store krypt, kaldt for Reliefernes Krypt (Tomba dei Rilievi), tilhørende den etruskiske familie Matuna, hvor væggene er dækket af bemalede relieffer af hverdagsredskaber.
Et af de mest kendte fund fra Cerveteri er den etruskiske sarkofag af terrakotta ler fra år 600 fvt, udformet som et halvt liggende, halvt siddende ægtepar, kaldt for Ægteparrets Sarkofag (Sarcofago degli Sposi eller Sarcophagus of the Spouses).

Capital Radio One Lyrics
Yes, it's time for the Dr. Goebbels show!
There's a tower in the heart of London
With a radio station right at the top
They don't make the city beat
They're making all the action stop
A long time ago there were pirates
Beaming waves from the sea
But now all the stations are silenced
'Cause they ain't got a government license
Want to tell your problems?
Phone in from your bedsit room
Having trouble with your partner?
Let us all in on the news
If you want to hear a record
Get the word from Aiden Day
He picks all the hits to play
To keep you in your place all day
Capital Radio
In tune with nothing
Don't touch that dial
Don't touch that dial...
Writer/s: JOE STRUMMER, MICK JONES, PAUL SIMONON, TOPPER HEADON
Publisher: Universal Music Publishing Group
Capital Radio One
The main riff is based on the The Who's "I Can't Explain," a riff which The Clash used as a basis for many of their more Rock-orientated songs. The song actually started life in 1976 as a Mick Jones written tune called "Deadly Serious." Early live bootlegs exist of The Clash playing the song in this form, with completely different lyrics about the band choosing not to play Reggae music despite their love of it ("dig some reggae, don't play any"). Presumably they'd changed their mind on this policy by the time they covered "Police and Thieves" on their first album.
The lyrics are an attack on mainstream radio stations of the time (the song is named after popular radio station Capital Radio) and their refusal to play anything left-field like Punk Rock, sticking strictly to bland Pop and chart music. In a 1977 interview with Caroline Coon, singer Joe Strummer explained: "They're even worse because they had the chance, coming right into the heart of London and sitting in that tower right on top of everything. But they've completely blown it. I'd like to throttle Aiden Day. He thinks he's the self appointed Minister of Public Enlightenment. We've just written a new song called Capital Radio and a line in it goes 'listen to the tunes of the Dr Goebbels Show.' They say 'Capital Radio in tune with London.' Yeah, yeah, yeah! They're in tune with Hampstead. They're not in tune with us at all. I hate them. What they could have done compared to what they have done is abhorrent. They could have made it so good that everywhere you went you took your transistor radio — you know, how it used to be when I was at school. I'd have one in my pocket all the time or by my ear'ole flicking it between stations. If you didn't like one record you'd flick to another station and then back again. It was amazing. They could have made the whole capital buzz. Instead Capital Radio has just turned their back on the whole youth of the city."
As mentioned in the quote, the song includes references to Nazi propaganda minister Josef Goebbels, to reinforce the image of Capital Radio forcing bland commercial music on the listener without any choice.
This was recorded, along with early live staple "Listen," on April 3, 1977 for a giveaway single with the NME magazine. It was original drummer Terry Chimes' final recording with the band before he left and was replaced by Topper Headon.
This was introduced live on the White Riot tour and remained in the set for the rest of the Clash's career.
Singer Joe Strummer would often throw in stream-of-conciousness raps in live versions. For example, the version on the live album From Here to Eternity, recorded at the Lewisham Odeon in February 1980, features a mimicked phone conversation involving Strummer requesting the radio station to play "Wooly Bully" by Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs - NOT Sham 69, as he jokes! Unfortunately according to Strummer, "he said no."
The song was originally called "Capital Radio," but when they released an updated version in 1979, they changed its title to "Capital Radio One" and made the sequel "Capital Radio Two."

There's a solitary man crying, hold me
It's only because he's a-lonely
If the keeper of time runs slowly
He won't be alive for long!
If he only had time to tell of all of the things he planned
With a card up his sleeve, what would he achieve?
It means nothing!
To the opium den and the barroom gin
In the Belmont chair playing violins
The gambler's face cracks into a grin
As he lays down the king of spades
But the dealer just stares
There's something wrong here, he thinks
The gambler is seized and forced to his knees
And shot dead
He only wanted more time
Away from the darkest door
But his luck it gave in
As the dawn light crept in
And he lay on the floor
From the Hundred Year War to the Crimea
With a lance and a musket and a Roman spear
To all of the men who have stood with no fear
In the service of the King
Before you met your fate be sure you
Did not forsake your lover
May not be around anymore
The Card Cheat
Lead singer Joe Strummer, who wrote the lyrics to the song, noted in promotional interviews for the album that he had been reading the poetry of Sylvia Plath, and the darkness of her writing could well have been an influence on the dark lyrics of "The Card Cheat."
The song was recorded late in the London Calling sessions, and by this time according to reports, producer Guy Stevens was so inebriated he was unable to work most of the time, so guitarist Mick Jones was producing the recordings along with engineer Bill Price. It was Mick's idea to have everything in this song double-tracked, to create a Phil Spector-style "wall-of-sound" feel to the instrumentation ("That's the secret, two of everything" he said in a 1991 interview).
The lyrics continue the same themes of an outsider in society as other songs that proceeded it on the album, notably "Jimmy Jazz," "Rudie Can't Fail" and "Wrong 'Em Boyo." Contrasting to those other songs, however, "The Card Cheat" is incredibly downbeat, with the jaunty piano tunes contrasting with the lyrics about a lonely gambler finally running out of luck and being murdered in a card game ("The gambler is seized and forced to his knees and shot dead. He only wanted more time away from his darkest door, but his luck, it gave in").
The song features a horn section written and performed by The Irish Horns, who recorded all of the horn instrument sections on the London Calling album.
Due to the complexity of the backing track compared to the band's very spartan stage show, the song was never performed live by the Clash.

Cheapskates Lyrics
I have been a washer up
An' he has been a scrubber up
An' I seen him a picking up
Dog ends in the rain
An' he has never read a book
Though I told him to take a look
He lifted his pool hall cue
For another game
But it ain't no modern miracle
That we found the golden rule
What you can't buy you gotta steal
An' what you say can't steal you better leave
I don't like to hang about
In this lonely room
'Cause London is for going out
And trying to hear a tune
But people come pouncing up to me
And say what are you doing here
You're supposed to be a star
Not a cheapskate bleeding queer
Like a load of rats from a sinking ship
You slag us down to save your hip
But you don't give me the benefit
Of your doubt
'Cause I'll bite it off and spit it out
We're Cheapskates anything'll do
We're cheapskates what are we supposed to do?
An' we can rock
Hey hey let's roll
An' we can walk
An' do the stroll
Just because we're in a group
You think we're stinking rich
'N we all got model girls
Shedding every stitch
'N You think the cocaine's flowing
Like a river up our noses
'N every sea will part for us
Like the red one did for Moses
Well I hope you make it one day
Just like you always said you would some day
And I'll get out my money and make a bet
That I'll be seein' you down the launderette
Cheapskates
The lyrics to this song are a thinly veiled attack on the music press and critics of the time who took aim at The Clash in late 1977 and early 1978, accusing them of selling out and becoming decadent Rock Stars in the wake of their signing to major label CBS and producing their first album. The band are clearly angry over the assumption that they would change as they became more famous ("But people come poncing up to me and say what are you doing here? You're supposed to be a star, not a cheapskate bleeding queer), and at what they see as critics attacking the band to save their own image ("Like a load of rats from a sinking ship, you slag us down to save your hip").
A latter verse is dedicated to claiming that The Clash don't have the Rock Star trappings of money, sex and drugs - ironically though, many close to the group claim that the band did indeed mix with drugs rather often during the time - indeed, drummer Topper Headon would later be fired from the group in 1983 because of problems with severe drug addictions. At the time of the album's release in 1978, guitarist Mick Jones admitted to Garry Bushell that "the song was written during a heavy period of drug-taking. The lyrics are meant to be a satire on that."
Cheapskates was introduced into The Clash's live set in June 1978, and was played for the rest of the year before being dropped just before their first US tour.

City of the Dead Lyrics
This is the City of the Dead
As we lie side by side in bed
I'd do something else instead
But it is the city of the dead
We went out kickin' around
But you got drunk an' fallen down
An' I wished I could be like you
With the Soho River drinking me down
In the city of the dead
Fall in love an' fall in bed
It wasn't anything you said
Except I know we both lie dead
Don't you know where to cop
That's what New York Johnny said
You should get to know your town
Just like I know mine
While all the windows stare ahead
An' the streets are filled with dread
Every nation in the world
Slinks through the alley after girls
What we wear is dangerous gear
It'll get you picked on anywhere
Though we get beat up we don't care
At least it livens up the air
But someday's we hide inside
All courage gone and paralyzed
Sniff that wind of ugly tension
Today the jerks have got aggression
It is the city of the dead
For a long time "City of the Dead" was one of the most popular Clash songs not to be released on any album - it only appeared as the B-side to 1977 single Complete Control. It was then included on the rarities compilation album Black Market Clash, and it's expanded re-release, Super Black Market Clash.
Singer Joe Strummer admitted in later interviews that around mid-to-late 1977, he was suffering from severe clinical depression and was incredibly disillusioned with the future of the Punk Rock movement. This explains why the lyrical themes of this song in particular, as well as another B-side from around this period, "The Prisoner," are very dark and cynical.
The title "City of the Dead" is drawn from an obscure 1960s British horror movie of the same name starring Christopher Lee. Guitarist Mick Jones would frequently introduce it live as being a song about "being dead from the neck up," a nod to common zombie horror film convention.
The latter verses relate to a common trend in 1977 of "Punk Bashing" where, partially as a result of hyperbolic tabloid reporting encouraging violence against Punk fans (including a shameful piece in the 6th June edition of the Sunday Mirror entitled "Punish The Punks"), there were many fights and attacks on Punk rockers:
"What we wear is dangerous gear
At least it livens up the air."
High-profile victims of brutal attacks included Jamie Reid, Sex Pistols singer Johnny Rotten, and Clash guitarist Mick Jones, who tells the story of his attack in the 2002 documentary film Westway to the World.
The lines, "Don't you know where to cop, that's what New York Johnny said" were written in response to several unsavory incidents with drug abuse on the Anarchy tour in 1977, with the 'New York Johnny' being the American Rock frontman Johnny Thunders, formerly of the New York Dolls and at the time leader of Johnny Thunders and the Heartbreakers. According to reports, he was regularly doing drugs on the tour and would try to intimidate others - including members of The Clash - to shoot up drugs with him.
The lyrics "Fall in love an' fall in bed, it wasn't anything you said, except I know we both lie dead" could have been inspired by Mick Jones' fractious relationship with his girlfriend at the time, Slits guitarist Viv Albertine. According to roadie Johnny Green, "she broke his heart... Mick used to cry and cry about Viv. He played the rock star normally with girls, but not with Viv, he really loved her." His breakup with Albertine would later form the basis for the lyrics to 1979 single "Train in Vain (Stand By Me)."
"City of the Dead" is the first Clash song to feature additional instrumentation beyond just the bass/guitars/drums/vocals quartet. In this case, the recording features saxophone and pianos, the latter played by Steve Nieve from Elvis Costello and the Attractions. The Clash were at the time greatly influenced by Bruce Springsteen, and this influence can be heard in the rich production and musical style.

Cool Confusion Lyrics
Between Cool Confusion
And kung fu in the car park
Could the weekend be losing
That reactive spark
Even in the shebeen
Or down in the meat rack
Longtime I feel cold
To send Cinderella's shoe back
Along the length of the wire
Party jam on the line
I can't hear a thing
Can't get no number nine
Now we must get in touch
If the night is to burn
Someone out there in luck
Lend me your star for a turn
As heroes fix their hair
Some are saving their breath
Just on the walkways tonight
For a glue bag death
Screens flick in unison
Some gaze at the soul
From the tiers and the heights
Go for the fifteenth floor stroll
It's immediately obvious;
Anybody star-gilt
Would have left this club
Way before it was built
This strikes you so late
As the guy with the broom
Sweeps you and the bottles
Right out of the room
Now I wash in the factory
Confess in the tile house
I don't need to bleed anybody
To strike out
Today my godfather
He sent a note from the jail
Said go get 'em kid
But don't get chained to the rail
That romantic spark
Long time I feel cold
Cool Confusion
Collectively credited to the band as a whole, the lyrics were mostly written by singer Joe Strummer, who explained his inspiration for them: a visit to New York's famous Studio 54 disco nightclub. "I started to notice that stars with big egos would always swan into places, make an appearance, and swan out again. Whenever we went out, we'd always be in a place for the duration."
The lyrics reflect this, with references to superficial celebrity: "lend me your start for a turn, as heroes fix their hair."
"Cool Confusion" was recorded in the Combat Rock sessions at the Electric Lady studios in November/December 1981, and though it didn't make the album, it became one of the B-sides to the US release of "Should I Stay or Should I Go?" It ended up not getting a UK release until it appeared on the rarities compilation Super Black Market Clash.
The song is described by the band as "semi-electro dub-funk," and shows influences from their former producer and Dub Reggae star Lee "Scratch" Perry.

Rebels on the corner
Rebels to the core
Got a million dollar question
What is livin' for?
Hey! Man can scratch a livin'
In a fat man's city class
The teacher is survival
But soon the present will be the past
Be Cool Under Heat
Be cool on the street
When you're rockin' down
On a cold hard night
Pitiless eyes of the cityless souls
Narrow in the lights
Sorrow upon sorrow
Go ganging up in your head
You can leave it till tomorrow
If you can balance on the edge
When the baby and you got to fight
Go cool your love in the rain
When the match refuses to strike
Show that you really are in pain
I'm giving you a warning
Gonna burn those blue suede shoes
Swagger in the mornin'
Prints up front page news

Cool Under Heat
This was of many songs on the much-maligned Cut the Crap record which was heavily criticized by music reviewers at the time of its release. The lyrics are much more swaggering and one-dimensional from singer Joe Strummer, who appears to be trying too hard to come across as a cool Punk rocker and recapture the anger of his earlier lyrics for The Clash. "Where's his knack for a well-turned phrase?" asked critic Mat Snow in his NME review of the record.

The Crooked Beat Lyrics
Start the car lets make a midnight run
Across the river to South London
To dance to the latest hi-fi sound
Of bass, guitar and drum
Seeking out a rhythm that can take the pressure off
Stepping in and out of that crooked crooked beat
Take a piece of cloth, a coin for thirst
For the sweat will start to run
With a cymbal splash, a word of truth
And a rocking bass and drum
Seeking out a rhythm that can take the pressure on
So one by one they come on down
From the tower blocks of my home town
Stepping with the rhythm of the rockers beat
Drowning out the pressure of The Crooked Beat
Seeking out a rhythm that can take the tension on
It has crooked past this crooked street
Where cars patrol this crooked beat
Badges flash and sirens wail
They'll be taking one and all to jail
Prance! Prance! You want a law to dance?
Writer/s: JOE STRUMMER, PAUL SIMONON
The Crooked Beat
"The Crooked Beat" is often viewed as bassist Paul Simonon's followup to his popular song on the London Calling album, "The Guns Of Brixton." The songs share a South London location in the lyrics and also Simonon's monotone vocals. Both songs were written fully by him.
This was one of the very last songs recorded for the Sandinista! album, at Wessex in September 1980. It is rumoured to have been written and recorded quickly in order to both fill space on the huge triple-album, and give Paul Simonon some royalties. Indeed, the track is actually two versions of the same song - the original is then followed back to back by a dub remix by Mikey Dread, the Clash's producer at the time, featuring authentic Trenchtown patois vocals from Dread and an echo-saturated production.
The lyrics are inspired by the popular nursery rhyme "There Was A Crooked Man."
The song was one of the many more obscure tracks on Sandinista! never to be played live by The Clash, probably because "The Guns of Brixton" was used live as Simonon's signature song (he would swap instruments with singer Joe Strummer, who would play bass while Simonon sang lead vocals).

Deny Lyrics
You're such a liar
You won't know the truth if it hits you in the eye
You're selling your no-no all the time
You said we were going out
To the 100 Club
Then you said it ain't my scene
But then you turned up alone
Then you turned up alone
Won't know the truth if it hits you in the street
Then you said you'd given it up
Gone an' kicked it in the head
You said you ain't had none for weeks
Baby, I seen your arms
Won't know the truth if it hits you in the eye
Selling your no-no all the time
Do you think I'm a raving idiot?
Just got off the boat
Step in line, sign this form, baby ain't got a hope
You ain't got a hope
(What a liar, what a liar, what a liar) deny, you're such a liar
(What a liar, what a liar, what a liar) deny, lie, lie, lie, lie
(What a liar, what a liar, what a liar)
The song was originally written by guitarist Mick Jones for the London SS, the band which existed just before Joe Strummer joined to form The Clash. It seems to originally have been about denial in all its forms, and could have been aimed at Jones' then-girlfriend whom he had a fractious relationship with; she also inspired "I'm So Bored With You," the original version of the song that would become "I'm So Bored With The USA."
Early Clash guitarist Keith Levene, who left before the group recorded their first album, offered the opinion that "Deny" referred to him, although this is unlikely as it was written and played live while he was still in the group. However it is obvious that the song's subject is a drug addict and the narrator has a severe problem with this.
Mick Jones has said in interviews that Pretenders guitarist Chrissie Hynde "probably helped with the end bit." It is also speculated that Jones took influence from the Sex Pistols' similar song of the time, "Liar," which he would've heard from Pistols bassist Glen Matlock.
"Deny" was recorded in a semi-live style at the Whitfield studios, the same sessions that produced the single version of "White Riot." It uses the studio trick of fade-in, not commonly used by Rock groups but used by The Beatles on "Eight Days a Week." The rhythm guitar riff is also a distant relative to the Who's "The Kids Are Alright."
"Deny" didn't survive for long in the Clash's live set - it was played from their very first gigs in 1976, often as the opening song, and survived up till the White Riot tour in June 1977 before being replaced by newer material.
On the recording Joe Strummer can be heard ad-libbing a reference to a "12p comic," which was the price of a Marvel or DC comic in 1977.

Dirty Punk Lyrics
(strummer/rhodes)
Gonna be a Dirty Punk
Gonna rock your neighborhood
Do the sound of rebel funk
Turn it up loud like it should
I could hear your momma scream
She's gonna waste herself away
When your daddy smashed that tv screen
I understand what he had to say
I'm going to get me a big, big, big
Big, big car
Then I'm gonna drive, drive, drive
I'm gonna drive so far
Up your boulevard
So far up your boulevard
While my brother dresses clean
He used to be the local hunk
The girls all ride in my machine(?)
How bout the time I made him drunk
And he insult my brotherhood
I shout out I am a dirty punk
I'm going to get a big, big, big
Gonna get a big, big, big
Go faster!
Then I'm gonna go! big!
Let's go to (???)
Go so far up your boulevard
Gonna drive my big, big, big

Dirty Punk
The lyrics are odd, in that the aim for The Clash coming into recording the Cut the Crap album was to take the band back to their 1977 UK Punk roots. The lyrics of "Dirty Punk" are very American-centric, featuring lines such as "rock up your neighborhood," "up your boulevard."
The song talks about a stereotypical dysfunctional suburban American family, including the arguing parents ("I could hear your momma scream, She's gonna waste herself away, When your daddy smashed that TV screen, I understand what he had to say") and the clean-cut hunky brother getting drunk, picking up women and going off the rails ("While my brother dresses clean, He used to be the local hunk, The girls all ride in my machine, How bout the time I made him drunk, And he insult my brotherhood").
The music is also oddly US-centric, sounding more like a brash '80s Hair Metal track not unlike the thrashier elements of Def Leppard or Bon Jovi, although most critics cited "Dirty Punk" as one of the few good moments on the Cut the Crap album (which may just be because the rest of the album was so terrible).
This song was only performed twice by The Clash, both times in 1984 at the Brixton Miner's Benefit gigs in December of that year.

Drug stabbing time
Well I got working on the Ford line
A paying off the big fine
Drug stabbin' time
Is from nine to nine
Nobody wants a user
Nobody needs a loser
So kick him out that door
An' don't answer it no more
It's a Greenwich Mean Time
Your friends all hate each other you think
You've got another
But who's at the door?
Don't answer it no more
In a bedroom crime
There's a tape recording on a telephone line
An' it's ringin' from the floor
So don't answer it no more
Now I was lying in my room
It was raining drugs all afternoon
I hear this car pull up outside
Comes to a stop like, skreeee
Someone's in a hurry
'N someone better worry
'Cos these four guys all had on their feet
A pair of black shoes shining and neat
I thinks
Black shoes on
No that's bad news
Here they come charging up the stairs alright
Sonny just tell us where
Don't ask me mate
Working on the ford line
Paying off the big fine
Drug-Stabbing Time
"Drug-Stabbing Time" was first demoed at the Clash's rehearsal space, Rehearsal Rehearsals, in January 1978 and so was one of the first songs written for second album Give 'Em Enough Rope.
The lyrics written by singer Joe Strummer are fiercely anti-drugs, and describe in great detail the paranoia they can induce - not just from usage, but from the fear of getting caught, as the subject of the song does in an elaborate police sting ("I hear this car pull up outside, Comes to a stop like, skreeee", "Blackshoes on, No that's bad news, Here they come charging up the stairs alright, Sonny just tell us where").
It's quite possible that Strummer had seen early rushes of the film Rude Boy, a film about a fictional roadie for The Clash and featuring lots of live Clash footage from 1977-79, where a subplot involves a drug bust. Or it's possible he was talking from personal experience - what makes the anti-drugs message ("Nobody wants a user, nobody needs a loser") hugely ironic is that members of the group, mainly guitarist Mick Jones, were heavily involved in drug usage at the time. Critic Marcus Gray noted that this fact serves "to rob it of much comedy value."
The song was debuted live on the On Parole tour in June 1978, and remained in the live set into 1979, which is better than most of the Give 'Em Enough Rope non-single tracks. The song was dropped after the Pearl Harbour tour, although it was revived for one last performance in Monterey in September 1979.

See the world you have built it with shoulders of iron
See the world but it is not yours say the stealers of Zion
Who makes them so fat?
Well well me an' you better think about that

The Equaliser
"The Equaliser" is a song often ignored by The Clash, and its writers appear to be slightly ashamed of it - singer Joe Strummer confessed in a 1999 interview with Q magazine that this and other examples (such as the ludicrous Rock Against the Rich tour in 1988, beset by protests from the Socialist Worker newspaper and claims of hypocrisy as to what constituted "the rich" in the first place) that sometimes his social idealist beliefs would blind him and he would become obsessed with the unobtainable.

Four Horsemen Lyrics
Well they were given the grapes that go ripe in the sun
That loosen the screws at the back of the tongue
But they told no one where they had begun
They were given all the foods of vanity
And all the instant promises of immortality
But they bit the dust screamin' insanity!
One was over the edge, one was over the cliff
One was lickin' 'em dry with a bloody great spliff
When they picked up the hiker he didn't want the lift
From the horsemen
But you!
You're not searching, are you now?
You're not looking anyhow
You're never gonna ride that lonely mile
Or put yourself up on trial
Oh, you told me how your life was so bad
An' I agree that it does seem sad
But that's the price that you gotta pay
If you're lazing all around all day
Four horsemen coming right through
Four horsemen and they're pissing by you
They make you look like you're wearing a truss
Four horsemen and it's gonna be us
Well they gave us everything for bending the mind
And we cleaned out their pockets and we drank 'em blind
It's a long way to the finish so don't get left behind
By those horsemen
And they gave us the grapes that went ripe in the sun
But we still told nothing 'bout what was to come
We know, only rock and roll
We know, got rock and roll
We're in the park
Or in the campus
Cannot breathe
We beat the thief, ae ohh ah
We beat the theft, ohh ah

"Four Horsemen" was The Clash's attempt to lighten the tone of London Calling in the midst of very apocalyptic and dark-sounding songs such as the title track, "Clampdown," and "Death Or Glory." It features deliberately humorous lyrics, presenting The Clash as the Four Horsemen of the apocalypse in the style of Monty Python-esque parodies who are in the middle of a bit of a rubbish day ("One was over the edge, one was over the cliff, One was lickin' em dry with a bloody great spliff. When they picked up the hiker he didn't want the lift, from the horsemen"). It acts as an attempt to poke fun at themselves, showing that they acknowledge that their lyrics veer close to pretentious at times.
This song was only ever played live once: at the Russrock Festival in Finland, in August 1979. One can only assume that the band didn't play it all too often in case audiences just didn't get the joke of the lyrics.

Three Card Trick Lyrics
Patriots of the wasteland torching two hundred years
Dragging my spirit back into the dungeon again
Bring back crucification cry the moral death's head legion
Using steel nails manufactured by the slaves in Asia
You won't fall for that law and order is a baton in the rib
You won't fall for that just like your mummy and your daddy did
Blood inside a fountain pen wrote you out of life again
Who knows any better than to kick and scratch under English weather
From a chain gang to the mill.
The mill that sits on top of the hill
The fog drowned towns arr gonna have to fade
The wrong side of the a scissor blade
I'll eat my hat I'm gonna be sick
They own the pack while we play the Three Card Trick
Don't you remember the place
Where we hid the ace?
Yeah not thick but slick
Now we all gotta play the three card trick
Three Card Trick
"Three Card Trick" was, along with "This Is England" generally cited as one of the better songs on the Cut the Crap debacle, mainly because both songs actually sound like The Clash, using a Reggae rhythm and revisiting classic Clash themes of oppression, breakdown of society ("Patriots of the wasteland torching two hundred years, dragging my spirit back into the dungeon again") and protest ("You won't fall for that law and order is a baton in the rib, you won't fall for that just like your mummy and your daddy did"). In this case, singer Joe Strummer's lyrics relate to two core actions occurring at the time: many of the steel mills closing due to foreign imports ("Using steel nails manufactured by the slaves in Asia") and the Miners Strikes of 1984.
This is the only post-Mick Jones Clash song to remain in their live set right until their final festival performances in summer 1985, having been introduced on the Out of Control tour in early 1984.

This song was written in the aftermath of the sacking of founding member Mick Jones from The Clash, who threatened to form a new band with fellow fired Clash member Topper Headon and use The Clash name. Singer Joe Strummer was infuriated, and wrote "We Are The Clash" as an angry response to make it clear to fans who the "real" Clash were. In the end, Mick's threat was empty, and he instead formed the entirely new band: Big Audio Dynamite.
"We Are The Clash" is the sign of a general anti-Mick Jones attitude in the Clash camp after his firing. As well as playing the song live in the post-Jones lineup, singer Joe Strummer would change the lyrics to previous songs to attack Jones. For example, "Complete Control" saw the "You're my guitar hero!" lyric changed to "F--k off guitar hero!").
The Clash played this song regularly throughout 1984, presumably to make the point known to their fans that this was still the true Clash despite the firing of half of their core members in 1982-3. Part of the reason the band toured so extensively in 1984 before recording the Cut the Crap record was to gel the new lineup (new drummer plus TWO new guitarists to replace Mick Jones), and to demonstrate their commitment to their fans.

"Play to Win" is an interesting attempt at something different musically on the Cut the Crap album, with the verses structured over a loose percussion backing in the form of a conversation between singer Joe Strummer and bassist Paul Simonon.
Probably because of it's very loose structure and odd conversational vocals, this song was never played live by The Clash.

Movers And Shakers Lyrics
The boy stood in the burning slum
Better times had to come
Fate lay in the hands that clap
The muscles that move and the power that raps
He went up on money street
Waving an popping to the beat
Off his wits an on his feet
He worked a coin from the cold concrete
Movers And Shakers come on you got what it takes to make it
Movers an shakers come on even if you have to fake it
Where the highway meets the lights
With a red bandanna and rapid wipes
He shines Glass and he cleans chrome
He'll accept what he gets thrown
This man earns 'cause its understood
Times are bad and he's makin' good
Down on him but he's got it beat
He's working coin from the cold concrete
Movers and shakers come on....etc
And when I see you down and I say
That ain't no way through that ain't no way through
Movers and shakers come on...etc
Way back in some city heat
When a friend was anybody with food to eat
It was lousy life with a leaking roof
We got up to find that truth
Make a drum from a garbage can
Allow your tongue to be a man
When the beat propels you off your seat
You got it made in the cold concrete
Movers and shakers come on!
This song came in for particularly heavy criticism from Clash fans for its lyrical content, which contradicts one of The Clash's core messages of striving to make the most of life and not accepting a bottom-rung job. The song seems to suggest that doing menial jobs like washing cars is worthwhile because it's at least something to do ("He shines glass and he cleans chrome, he'll accept what he gets thrown, this man earns 'cause its understood, times are bad and he's makin' good").
Journalist Marcus Gray noted in the Last Gang in Town biography that lyrics such as these sounded remarkably hypocritical. Of course, this being Joe Strummer, a man known for sardonic commentaries, it could be a wry and sarcastic take on it to make a point that actually washing cars isn't a worthwhile career move.
Musically, "Movers and Shakers" is somewhat of a mess, with the main guitar riff being very similar to the main riff from Sham 69's "Hurry Up Harry (Come On)." Poorly-mixed gang vocal choruses and an out-of-place keyboard riff badly added into the mix.
This was only ever performed live by The Clash on their acoustic Busking tour in 1985, in a more stripped-down arrangement which perhaps suits the song better than the lumpen studio mix.

Gates of the West Lyrics
I would love to be the lucky one on chill
Who could keep your heart warm when ice has turned it blue
But with the beggin' sleeping losers as they turn in for the night
I'm looking back for home and I can see the lights
I should be jumpin' shoutin' that I made it all this way
From Camden Town station to Fortieth and Eighth
Not many make it this far and many say we're great
But just like them we walk on an' we can't escape our fate
Can't you hear the sighing
Eastside Jimmy and Southside Sue
Both say they needed something new
So I'm standing at the Gates of the West
I burn money at the lights of the sign
The city casts a shadow of the perfect crime
I'm standing at the gates of the east
I take my pulse and the pulse of my friend
The city casts a shadow, will I see you again?
The immigrants an' remnants of all the glory years
Are clustered around the bar again for another round of beers
Little Richard's in the kitchen playing spoons and plates
He's telling the waitress he's great
Ah say I know somewhere back'n'forth in time
Out on the dustbowls, deep in the roulette mine
Or in a ghetto cellar only yesterday
There's a move into the future for the USA.
I hear them crying
Both said they needed something new
Standing at the gates of the west
In the shadow again
I'm standing at the gates of the west
Gates of the West
The music and basic tune to this song was based upon "Ooh Baby, Ooh (It's Not Over)," an early Mick Jones composition that he wrote before The Clash formed in 1976. Their first attempt at recording it was during the Give 'Em Enough Rope sessions at Basing Street Studios in May 1978, under the working title of "Rusted Chrome." The song came together in sessions in New York in September 1978 and finally completed at Wessex with engineer Bill Price (who went on to help produce the Clash albums London Calling and Sandinista!).
Clear influences on "Gates of the West" include "Time Is Tight" by Booker T and the MGs, of which the opening bass riff is very reminiscent (The Clash covered the song for the Black Market Clash rarities LP), and Bruce Springsteen's 1970s output.
The lyric, "I should be jumpin' and shoutin' that I made it all this way, from Camden Town station to Fortieth and Eighth" is a deliberate nod to Mott the Hoople's "All The Way From Memphis," which includes the line "From the Liverpool Docks to the Hollywood Bowl."
This was included on The Cost of Living EP, and was a fan favorite. The Clash never played it live, however, which prompted one fan at a September 1979 concert at the New York Palladium to shout out a request for it. Singer Joe Strummer answered by admitting they couldn't play the song live because "it's a bit complicated!"

Groovy Times Lyrics
The High Street shops are boarded up
An' the terrace it is fenced in
See-through shields are walled across
The way that you came in
But there's no need to get excited
As the lorries bring the bacon in
'cause the housewives are all singing
Groovy Times are here again
They discovered one black Saturday
That mobs don't march they run
So you can excuse the nervous triggerman
Just this once for jumping the gun
As they were picking up the dead
Out of the broken glass
Yes it's number one, the radio said
Groovy times have come to pass!
Groovy times groovy times groovy times
The intake is on the uptake
The acceleration's pretty grim
I can remember his first appearance
Now look what's happened to him
So they put him in a dog suit
Like from 1964
The king of early evening TV
Groovy times forever more
Groovy times

Singer Joe Strummer explained: "what sparked the song was that they started to put fencing around English football grounds. It looked horrible, like cages with the fans inside. It distressed me."
His instincts were proven right a decade after the song was released when 96 fans were killed at a match between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest on April 15, 1989. The incident, which took place at Hillsborough Stadium in Sheffield, England, became known as the Hillsborough disaster.
Like "Gates of the West," which was recorded around the same time, "Groovy Times" was first demoed in Utopia Studios for the Give 'Em Enough Rope sessions before being completed in Wessex in 1979 with Bill Price producing. Musically it is another subtle departure from The Clash's Punk roots, heavily dominated by acoustic guitars and harmonica (played apparently by Bob Jones - guitarist Mick Jones later said "That's me, it's a Bob Dylan joke").
The lyrics: "I can remember his first appearance, now look what's happened to him. So they put him in a dog suit, like from 1964, the king of early evening TV" appear to be an amusing reference to TV presenter Bill Grundy, who's career spiraled downhill after he drunkenly goaded the Sex Pistols into swearing on prime time TV in 1976 in what became known as the Filth and the Fury scandal. By the time of "Groovy Times"' writing, he was presenting Sunday evening religious programmes.

Hate And War Lyrics
Hate And War
The only things we got today
An' if I close my eyes
They will not go away
You have to deal with it
It is the currency
Hate, hate, hate, the hate of a nation
A million miles from home
And get war from the junkies
Who don't like my form
I'm gonna stay in the city
Even when the house fall down
I don't dream of a holiday
When hate an' war come around
The only things
I have the will to survive
I cheat if I can't win
If someone locks me out
I kick my way back in
An' if I get aggression
I give 'em two times back
Every day it's just the same
With hate an' war on my back
Hate and war, I hate all the English, man
Hate and war, they're just as bad as wops
Hate and war, I hate all the politeness
Hate and war, I hate all the cops
Hate and war, I want to walk down any street
Hate and war, looking like a creep
Hate and war, I don't care if I get beat up
Hate and war, by any rotten Greek
Singer Joe Strummer noted in a 2002 interview with Uncut magazine that the title "Hate and War" was a direct reversal of the hippy phrase "Love and Peace," done to illustrate the contrast between the optimism and hope of the late 1960s and the grim reality of Britain in the '70s. "It was a good punk rock blast to have a song called that" he said.
In a 1991 interview, Strummer remembered that he "wrote the lyrics in a disused ice cream factory I'd broken into. It was just behind the Harrow Road in Foscote Mews. I wrote it in the dark by candlelight and the next day took it to Rehearsals and Mick put a tune to it."
The lyrics in question are an angry indictment of everyday working class life in London, and a rallying call to toughen up if you want to survive in the mean streets ("I have the will to survive, I cheat if I can't win. If someone locks me out, I kick my back in, an' if I get aggression, I give it to them two time back").
It also controversially uses racist terms such as "wops" and "Kebab Greeks." The lyrics are ambiguous as to their usage, although it would appear the song uses these terms to add to the gritty realistic feel of urban London at the time where such language may well have unfortunately been commonplace.
"Hate and War" was first introduced into The Clash's live set on the Anarchy tour of 1977, and was dropped by 1978, but after that would reappear every so often on tours - the Pearl Harbour tour in 1979 (and on their appearance on the Alright Now TV show), occasionally in Europe in 1980, once in Newcastle in 1982, all of their 1983 US Festival warm-up shows (and the festival itself), and their last festival shows in the summer of 1985 with Strummer handling all lead vocals after original singer on the song Mick Jones had been fired.

If Music Could Talk Lyrics
Make sure!
Taking cover in the bunker tonight
Waiting for Bo Diddley's headlights
I feel alright
Gotta Fender Stratosphere
I can do anything tonight
It's in neon lights an' global rights
Frank? He's on the phone
There ain't no German girl outside
But who cares when its warm inside?
Special mystery of music tragically
Exchanging slaves for majesties
Modern waves of tragedy
Packing a two piece colt pair of shoots
A shiny grey Mexican suit
The blue eyed traffic can sashay by
'Cause tonight the sailor boys have hit Shanghai
The kick-out traffic goes creaking by
I smash my glass and shout shanghai
My drummer friend comes shooting by
He said Errol Flynn will never die
Oh no! Who am I to question why?
And are you lonesome tonight
And do ya need a country cowboy
Who's just thin and tight in those
Br' bus depot jeans
With a squirt resistant stud stud
Hey stoner
Get over there in the spliff bunker one
Because London Bridge was sold somehow
But it was too old anyhow
When Uncle Sam has broken down
We'll make him down in old Japan
Say ye'
Well there ain't no better blend
Than Joe Ely and his Texas Men
I ain't seen none like that scenery
You can see from a bus if you pay the price
Wave my arms around
Flag one of those taxi's maybe
I saw a girl somewhere somehow
Forever sticks in my mind somehow
I've just got three lines
And a pair of two's
Like a lucky roll of dice that you
You cast
If Music Could Talk!
Which means
Whatever your mind can bring
Like the apple fell off the tree
Pah! Fell right on his head
Yeah many years ago
There was a man who said
I am a shaman
A voodoo shaman
Got in trouble so he's going out
Mixing up and Haiti! Oh!
And the crickets
Buddy Holly said it was
Br' br' yee'
If music could talk you know
I feel kinda lonely
Standing out on the floor
Of Electric Ladyland
'cause this is a good question Samson
Are you partly Arabic?
Chi man! Whatcho all about
I don't want to I can't hope to
Say it all in one go
Occasionally once or twice
A day I feel alive enough to say
Let's hear what the drummer man's
Got to say about
He said is it Errol Flynn's birthday or not?
Sept twelfth until October
If they pack two piece
Colt pair of shoots
We got the shiny grey Mexican suits
I'm just wasting a great big
Corporation and the entire fund
The girders of Wall Street
And the temples of money
And the high priests
Of the expense account
And I'm wasting the whole thing
I come down in Yamaha-ha
They make the best pianos-time to step-up
If Music Could Talk
The backing track to "If Music Could Talk" is in fact another one of the songs on the Sandinista! album: "Shepherd's Delight," which was recorded at Pluto Studios two months previously with producer Mikey Dread. The band decided to revisit the track, and singer Joe Strummer added a stream-of-consciousness set of lyrics about New York city, including a plethora of references to Joe Ely , Errol Flynn, singer Bo Diddley (whom The Clash had toured with in 1979), Buddy Holly, Jim Morrison and Elvis Presley's song "Are You Lonesome Tonight?"
There are also personal references to The Clash themselves, including the Electric Lady studios they had worked, lighting engineer Warren "Stoner" Steadman, and his own "spliffbunker," which was a nest-type contraption Strummer built in whichever studio the band were recording in out of flight cases where he would sit and write songs in peace whilst recording took place elsewhere in the studio.
Production tricks abound on this song, as they do throughout the album. In this case, Joe Strummer double-tracked his vocals, putting one track in the left channel and another in the right to create an all-encompassing sound. Gary Barnacle, session musician and longtime friend of the band, added jazzy saxophone interludes when the song was recorded in Wessex studios in August 1980.
As it's possible to tell from the backing track complexity, this never featured in The Clash's live set, probably because the band just wouldn't be able to do it justice in concert. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaCommonCrawl'} | 9,919 |
