Hello Revuers! It’s Tuesday which means it’ time for another edition of New Comic Book Day Top 5. Where I pick my top 5 most anticipated books that are coming out this week. This Wednesday looks to be especially exciting with many new series’ starting from major and indie publishers alike. As always feel free to tell me what you think of the list in the comment section below, and please tell us what’s on your pull list. We love to hear from our readers, plus I love finding out about new series’ that people are enjoying. Without further delay, let’s jump right in.
The Skeptics is a new series from the fantastic Black Mask Studios features the talents of Tini Howard (Writer) and Devaki Neogi (Artist). The story is summed up as follows: “A stylish, political adventure about a pair of hip, clever teens who fool the world into believing they have superpowers. It is the 1960s. The Russians have the A-bomb, the H-bomb, and now the most terrifying weapon of all: a pair of psychically superpowered young people.” The story then focuses on the heads of the USA military looking to find equivalent super powered beings from America to be on Par with Russia. The preview art for this series looks amazing and the premise promises to be a wild ride.
Batgirl #4 is a continuation from issue three. Batgirl realizes that she has fallen into the trap set by The Teacher. She realizes that in order to save Kai she will first have to come face to face with this new mysterious villain. Writer Hope Larson has delivered an interesting and compelling plot so far this series. I think the title overall benefit from being on the slower once a month schedule. This allows the artist Rafael Albuquerque and Color Artist Dave McCaig time to really build a beautiful and rich world around Hope Lasron’s world. Batgirl is still one of the best titles from the overall spectacular DC Rebirth initiative.
Confession from me. I have been a big Spider-Man fan since I was 7. In fact Spider-Man was/is my favorite superhero. The Prowler was also one of my favorite Rouges in his gallery (Mysterio is my favorite [maybe I just really love purple and green color schemes for villains!?]). So when I heard they were planning a Prowler solo series I was pumped. I had already been excited about him getting more of a role in the new (NOW!?) ASM series. Writer Sean Ryan and Artist Jamal Campbell have a lot on their plate but the preview art makes it look like they have delivered. I can’t wait until I can read this one.
This new Dr. Strange series arrives two weeks before the release of the Marvel Studios film. Coincidnece? I think not. Do I care? NO! Robbie Thompson is set to write the series which means it’s going to be fantastic. I love the way he tackled Silk and Spidey, so I can’t wait for him to take on Dr. Strange. The art will be by the amazing Javier Rodriguez, who has recently been on the Spider-Woman series. If there’s one character that I think working on a Spider-Man series before hand would benefit you it would be Sr. Strange. There’s a lot of room for humor and sarcasm just like in Spidey titles. I am also intrigued by the team up aspect of it. The idea of Dr. Strange in a mentoring role is hilarious to me.
Bloodshot USA comes to us from Valiant Entertainment. It features the all star level talent of Jeff Lemire (writer), Doug Braithwaite (artist) and Brian Reber (Color Art). The story is set in New York where a criminal organization has released a biowarfare weapon that has turned the population of New York into blood thirsty zombie like creature, and it’s up to Bloodshot to ensure the contamination doesn’t spread. This title just sounds like plain fun, shoot em up comics to me with no shortage of action. The preview art looks incredible. Especially the color art work by Harvey nominated color artist supreme Brian Reber (wow, that was quite the run on sentence). I haven’t read too many Valiant series’ but this one looks like a real winner.
Hello Revuers. Welcome to another edition of Covers of the week. I hope you are enjoying this segment so far. If you are (or aren’t) let us know in the comments below. Thank you! Without further ado let’s jump right in.
This has been the week of Batgirl here at Deja.Revue, first Batgirl #2 was the most anticipated book of the week. Then it was the Pick of the week. Now it’s our regular cover of the week thanks to the spectacular work of Rafael Albuquerque. I love the striking bright colors and the facial expression on Batgirl’s face. The shaping of the figures really conveys a sense of movement and action. The series its self is wonderful and I highly recommend it. I recommend you check out our review of issue 2!
Batgilr #2 was my most looked forward to book of the week in the first ever New Comic Book Day Top 5, and it did not disappoint. Picking up where last issue left off we find Batgirl in Singapore chasing down a purple drone that’s making it’s getaway. Batgirl wonders if this drone is on a secret mission to gather information about her and her traveling partner Kai (whom Batgirl has history with). It turns out that the drone is nothing as Batgirl follows it back to it’s base and it turns out to be operated by a simple pervert. Not quite what Batgirl expected. During the chase scene Batgirl repeats the mantra that the Fruit Bat told her “You can’t see the future when the past is standing in your way”. This comes in to play later in the issue. Batgirl then uses her photographic memory to replay the fight she had with the killer schoolgirl from the previous issue. After playing through that memory a few times she notices a detail that she had previously missed. A tattoo that translates into “pupil” or “student”. Batgirl then wonders what the tattoo means.The following morning she has an awkward and clumsy discussion with Kai, who she realizes she is starting to have feelings for. This leads to one of my favorite pieces of inner dialogue I’ve ever read in a Batgirl comic. The dialogue is Batgirl questioning herself in a vulnerable way, and ending with her saying she needs to see a therapist in a half joking manner. The way Larson writes Batgirl is interesting because there are several moment where we see the vulnerable young adult that Batgirl is, but we also see that even though she is vulnerable (like all of us in the world) that doesn’t make her weak. She doesn’t succumb to the vulnerability, instead she uses it to keep herself grounded and not lose her identity as Barbara Gordon completely to Batgirl.
In the first issue the whole reason why Batgirl want’s to go to Singapore is to try out for a MMA group called Adapt. Upon inquiring about working out with Adapt she is first mistaken for a ring girl and then informed that they no longer accept female fighters. After her discussion with the receptionist she is told about a different gym that would train her that is owned by a women named May Hao who, we learn, lived in Gotham up until recently when she returned to Singapore. May promptly accepts to train Batgirl and even sets up a fight for the following Friday between her and MMA Wen Lu from China. This acceptance of Batgirl and setting up of a fight for her seems to easy to me. Combine that with the fact that May used to live in Gotham and something smells fishy here. during the fight Batgirl seems to have an upper hand but (gasp) Wen has a tattoo on her arm that matched the one on the Killer school girls arm, noticing this Batgirl is distracted and knocked out by Wen. I fell like there is more to May than meets the eye. Maybe May is the teacher of these students, or maybe she knows more about Batgirl’s secret mission than she is letting on.
Now at the beginning of the review I told you what Batgirl kept repeating from her meeting with the Fruit Bat “”You can’t see the future when the past is standing in your way”, well while Batgirl is training for her fight there is also a montage of a romantic involvement with Kai. While Batgirl is interested in him she is confused as to why. She doesn’t know if it’s because she has a past with him or if it’s because he’s changed. Throughout the issue he trys to show Batgirl how much he’s changed by taking her on a romantic dip in a high rise pool, and telling her he has a real job. The romance of the night won over and Batgirl gave him a kiss. A kiss that she immediately regretted. All of this just confuses Batgirl more and more. I’d tell you what happened but I don’t want to spoil it for you. So go buy this comic and read it for yourself.
The art in this issue is excellent Albuquerque continues the stylistic elements from issue one. with backgrounds lacking somewhat in detail adding to the over all style of the book. Albuquerque is fantastic at conveying a sense of movement with his characters. During the fighting montage especially. The punches leap off the page and really make you feel like the are moving. Albuquerque often draws close up on faces in order to draw out emotion from their facial expressions. This issue was very successful in that regard. The color art work by Dave McCaig was superb a well. McCaig continued to use solid color backgrounds to help make the figures pop. This technique works especially well during action sequences. McCaig also uses different palettes to evoke a sense of time to the pages. For instance in the scenes set in morning, he uses a lot of greens and blues to convey a sense of beginning. During the romantic rooftop pool scene it’s set in the evening and palettes witches to a more yellow, orange and brown palette to make it appear as though the characters are being bathed in the last light of day.
Overall this issue just works on so many levels. The whole creative team is really jelling well and because of this they have been able to create something that has the potential of being very, very special. Below I have included the two covers the title shipped with.
Hello Revuers. This week marks another big victory for the DC Rebirth initiative. Once again I found my pull dominated by DC comics. I counted and I have purchased more DC comics in the last two month than I did all of last year. What has changed with this initiative? There’s hope. Well that, and the comics have been consistently good across the board. I haven’t read a single title that I didn’t like. This week I have three to review. A bit of a light week for me.
Hello Revuers, I’m proud to announce that this is our 50th post on Deja.Revue! When I started this site with my roommate back in November of 2014 I couldn’t have anticipated the great response and support from viewers like you. Thanks to die hard comics fan like us, we have grown exponentially over the course of ten months. I could ramble on and on with statistics and numbers and blah blah blah…….but I’d rather just bring you the high quality original content you’ve come to expect from us. Since I’m feeling reminiscent I’ve asked our writers and our guest reviewers to write about their most nostalgic issue or series from their childhood. I’m happy to report that this article turned out to be one of my favorite and I hope its yours too. As usual all names are clickable and you should check out our guest bloggers sites. They are all wonderful. Now, without further delay lets begin our nostalgia filled joyride through our childhoods.
Cloak and Dagger are the most basic opposites, light and dark. This is a common trope, and a simple but solid premise that allows the reader to accept these new characters without bogging down the story with exposition. As the story advances, the characters become more nuanced and interesting. Cloak is darkness. He must feed on the light of humanity to satisfy his cravings or suffer the maddening effects of hunger. If he does not feed, he will begin to consume his own humanity. Where Cloak is darkness and retribution, Dagger is light and forgiveness. She produces pure humanity in the form of daggers. These light daggers act as a jump start to give a person a chance to redeem themselves before Cloak enacts his more permanent form of justice. However, Dagger’s light is limited and thus can not redeem those too far gone nor can it totally satisfy Cloak’s hunger. In addition to seeking out the wicked, Cloak and Dagger must confront their own personal demons. In issue two, Dagger confronts a man whom she slaps across the room and states “My light knives are too good to waste on the likes of you!”. In retrospect she realizes that she acted without compassion. She must learn to control her emotions to give every person equal opportunity for redemption. Cloak begins to perceive himself as a burden on Dagger, causing him to spiral into a state of selfloathing and harm. Eventually banishing himself to the sewers in an attempt to not affect anyone instead of realizing the potential for good that he possesses. So enough about the series, why do I love it so much? Well let me tell you… Cloak is a badass. He is troubled and dark, and essentially everything he says is the basis of a death metal song. For example: “You have chosen your fate, scum of the street. Darkness seeks darkness. Let you soul now scream – as is greets a darkness greater than its own.” “I am shadow. I darkness deeper than any dungeon. I am called Cloak… and I hunger.” “There is only one law, detective, as this murderer of women and children shall soon discover… the law of retribution.” “I am not a man, detective. I am merely a being who exists from one day to the next – locked in a struggle between hunger and appeasing that hunger. But I have learned that if I am ever to again be a man – that hunger must be denied!” But his darkness dissipates in the presence of Dagger’s light. Both Cloak and Dagger deal with issues that I see in myself. The whole series provokes the idea that neither light, nor dark is the answer the the issues of humanity. Rather, it is a balance of good and evil.
When I was a much younger geek I followed my older brother into reading comics; my pull list consisting mostly of random Superman stories and Chris Claremont’s sub-X-Men for DC Sovereign Seven. At some point my brother quit comics in spectacular fashion selling off most of his collection and giving away the rest. One book that I was able to salvage from the flames was Batman: The Long Halloween #1. For some reason unknown to me even now it would be another few years until I actually read the thing, but boy when I did was my mind blown. Here was a comic that showed me what comics could really do; that amongst the kapow-action there could be smart plots and shocking surprises, and it could all be delivered with the perfect grace of Tim Sale’s elegant art.
In retrospect it is probably that gorgeous Sale artwork that does a lot of the heavy lifting on an issue by issue basis, keeping things flowing and providing a sublime canvas on which the story is drawn, but I wouldn’t want to do writer Jeph Loeb out of some well-deserved credit either. Sure, when reading the book again the strange choices and dubious pacing are a little more obvious (mostly due to the villain-an-issue structure), but there is still an intrinsic magic to the concept and plot. This is a vision of Batman’s early career that picks up on the oft-quoted but very rarely shown fact that Batman is allegedly the world’s greatest detective and runs with it all the way to the goal line. There are clues and red herrings and mis-directions and it all comes together with a perfectly satisfying conclusion by the time the story is done.
Seeing the last three ‘good’ men in Gotham (Jim Gordon, Harvey Dent, and Batman) come together to instill law, justice, and order makes for a wonderful story and it’s perhaps not surprising that the best Batman movie is built on the same foundation. Speaking of films it is probably fair to say that this is the greatest Godfather comic book out there too, as it draws heavily on the Coppola film visually and the Puzo novel narratively. Again the concept shines through with a unique take on the superhero genre as Loeb takes the decision to examine the fall of traditional crime in Chicago-inspired Gotham as clown princes and other such masked super villains take over the city.
After reading that first issue I was hooked and many anxious shopping trips at local comics fairs and back issue parlours followed. It took me a while to pick up every part of The Long Halloween, but it was well worth all of the searching. Tim Sale has continued to deliver amazing work since then, but the Loeb/Sale partnership never yielded anything quite so perfectly formed (even the sequel Dark Victory lacks a certain something) and I think this would probably be my choice for best Batman story too. For me it remains the quintessential tale of the dark knight; it demonstrates his detective skills as well as his physical prowess, it features his greatest allies and most dangerous villains, it paints a vivid picture of Gotham as a living place and more than just the backdrop to random adventures, and overall it makes for a compelling and beautiful read. Even after all these years and all the comics since this is still how I see the Batman, and for that I am very grateful to Tim Sale and Jeph Loeb.
Magneto as the most complex, fascinating ‘villain’ in Marvel Comics.
and Shakespearean tragedy with ‘Fatal Attractions’.
that blew away my 13-year-old self more than this X-Men event did.
the dynamics, it was all epic.
X-Factor #92 has to be seen to be believed!
Empire Stikes Back or Return of the Jedi. They’re that good.
I used to own a copy of this comic and to this day one of my biggest regrets is that I loaned it to a kid I knew and never saw it again.
Written by the legendary Larry Hama who crafted pretty much the entire series of over a hundred and fifty of these books for Marvel and ended up creating some of the most intriguing and definitely ahead of their time (and comic-medium) stories for what was meant to be just an add-on to a toy-line, this book is a prime example of what Hama and Marvel accomplished.
Simply put, this is a comic that has no dialogue.
It starts off with Snake-Eyes (arguably either the coolest or most over-rated Joe ever) silently infiltrating a Cobra fortress in an attempt to rescue his comrade and beloved Scarlett. Meanwhile, in keeping with the less sexist tone of much of the series, Scarlett herself is busy extricating herself from the inside out quite capable – something that seems like nothing special until one considers how such things influence our minds as children and eventually as adults.
Each page was filled with tension and I would be on the edge of my seat each time I read this comic, devouring the artwork on each page as he made his way through, silently taking out guards and even facing down and defeating Storm-Shadow and his ninja’s before making an explosive exit with his target acquired.
I had read none of the other comics and came to possess this in the late 80’s as a little tyke, purely by chance and knew the Joe’s only through the less intense/hard-edged cartoon series. Within these pages though I found a level of intelligent, well thought out and engaging story-telling that would never have been expected and the lack of dialogue and using visuals is a concept that has burned itself into my mind to this day with thus far two of my own published comics being in a similar vein (sans dialogue) and must I admit that until making this list I never truly realised where that interest in purely visual story-telling had been born.

Lapsi is a fabulous tasty dish made from broken wheat also known popularly as “dalia”. Lapsi is one of the favorite sweet dishes among the Gujaratis. It is specially made on festivals or auspicious occasions.
Roasting the broken wheat in ghee gives the Lapsi a rich brown color, intense aroma and nice flavor. It is an easy, quick and healthy dessert that has a healthy combination of broken wheat, jaggery, and dates.
Broken wheat is a good source of the daily requirement of fiber and manganese in your food. As it is high in protein and low in fat and calories, it offers you nutrients without adding pounds to your body.
Heat 1 cup of water and jaggery in a saucepan. Boil for 5 minutes and strain to remove any residue. Keep it aside.
Heat one tablespoon of ghee in a pressure cooker over medium heat. Add chopped nuts and roast until the color changes to light golden. Turn off the heat and keep the roasted nuts aside.
Heat the ghee in a pressure cooker, add the broken wheat and saute on a medium flame for 5 to 7 minutes or till it turns light pink in color.
Now add remaining 2 & 1/2 cups of water with strained jaggery water and chopped dates. Pressure cook on a high flame for 4 whistles.
Now add the chopped dry fruits, salt, cardamom powder, fennel and pour remaining 1 tbsp of ghee over halwa. Serve hot.
Amount of water will depend on the variety of broken wheat.
White sugar or brown sugar can be used instead of jaggery.

Well (AFAIR) I've seen two videos of (I think) different groups of BLM supporters at different times (one was a video at night and the other was during the day) chanting that slogan.
I have seen one, and it wasn't hundreds of supporters. And a movement should be judged by its intent, not by the worst people following it. You can look up the ideology of BLM and compare that to Britain First.
No I mean riot. I am all in favour of peaceful protest.
Anytime they want (if they do it peacefully) and I'll support them if their protest is justified...but still waiting to hear from you what rights they don't have in America...?
Statistically, garbage men have more dangerous jobs than cops.
while NOT protesting the THOUSANDS of deaths each year from gang violence...a gang violence that culture tends to glorify.
Are those gangs part of the government?
Either way Obama 'stirred the pot' on that one.
Then what is Trump doing? Your outrage is 10 out of 10 when Obama sneezes, but 0 out of 10 when Trump re-tweets the British equivalent of the KKK. Oh right, you don't care. Trump can do whatever and suffer no consequence from people like you.

The Glass Menagerie by Tennessee Williams premiered in 1944 and catapulted Williams from obscurity to fame. The play has strong autobiographical elements, featuring characters based on its author, his histrionic mother, and his mentally fragile sister Laura. In writing the play, Williams drew on an earlier short story, as well as a screenplay he had written under the title of The Gentleman Caller.
It opened in Chicago in 1944 to excellent reviews, and during its initial Broadway run, won the New York Drama Critics' Circle Award in 1945. The Glass Menagerie was Williams' first successful play; he went on to become one of America's most highly regarded playwrights.
The Glass Menagerie is a "memory play," in which Tom recalls scenes from his youth during the height of the Depression. It shows his mother, Amanda, trying to maintain a lost idyllic southern lifestyle in the midst of overwhelming poverty and cajoling her children into her idea of happiness. Tom’s older, crippled sister, Laura is a shut-in, who resembles her collection of class animals in her delicate inner beauty and fragility. Tom toils in a St. Louis shoe factory to support his struggling family while dreaming of becoming a poet or running away to find adventure. At his mother's insistence, he brings a friend from work home as a possible suitor for Laura. The gentleman caller Jim, went to high school with Laura, and is the only boy that she ever had a crush on. The evening turns into a disaster. After Jim leaves, Amanda scolds Tom, who runs off to join the merchant marine shortly after that disastrous night. As Tom tells the audience in this retold memory, he was never able to leave his guilt behind. So, in the end, none of them escaped from the traps in which they were caught.
This production will be presented as a special "sensory adaptive" performance on selected dates, and will play at two venues: Orono Middle School and Delano Middle School over three weekends.
This production is presented by arrangement with Dramatists Play Service, and is supported in part by a grant from the Metropolitan Regional Arts Board.

Very tasty! A nice unexpected surprise. I wonder what the baked bean ones were like.
These are one of my favourite things from Iceland. They have a nice crunchy outside with lovely, creamy cheese and potato inside with the perfect amount of each so you can taste the cheese. I do cook them longer than specified but you don't have to I just prefer them crunchier on the outside.They taste so nice, I hope you never stop doing them.
These are absolutely delicious, buy these for my family frequently. I like my cheese and these have a gorgeous cheesy flavour, not artificial or too strong at all, just perfect. Well done Iceland.
I have to say I love these, my boy does not, but hey he has no taste. When cooked right these are a nice tasty cheesy potato flavour side.
I bought these not expecting much from them and was pleasantly surprised. I have bought a few times now as they are a family favorite for a treat.
Had these for dinner and they are so nice. Very filling for all the family, another great buy from Iceland. Will be buying these again.
Tried these for the first time today. We all love them. Even my fussy child did. These will be a regular thing that get put in the basket from now on.
Absolutely gorgeous. I'm hooked on these.
These are simply yummy. Like hash browns but with a cheese middle, big hit with whole family.
These are great. Cut them open and they ooze with cheese filling. Outer potato really crispy - these will be on my buy again list. Well done Iceland!

I found this question about access to domain controller, which I think is very low quality (VLQ) and therefore should be deleted, since the OP answered it self with "I made a mistake". So I thought there was no useful information for anyone - and felt like I wasted my time, when reading and trying to be helpful.
I read about VLQ and auto-deletion of closed questions, but it's too old to be flagged as VLQ and since OP answered it self, it haven't been auto-deleted as abandoned or dead.
Is there anything I can do, except to flag it with in need of moderator intervention? Or is there someone with higher reputation that agree and have privileges to "do something"?
I appreciate the constructive feedback here. I'm happy to make whatever edits the community finds most useful (or have the question deleted). Let me describe more precisely the situation, what I misunderstood, and how I resolved it to the best of my current understanding.
I discovered a group policy (using "Restrict Groups") that was granting membership in "Builtin/Administrators" group to all users. This group policy was probably intended to make all users local administrators on their workstations--but because of the scope of the group policy, it was also making all users members of the "Builtin/Administrators" group on the server as well. Alarmed, I set out to correct this problem. But instead of changing the scope of the policy so that it affected workstations and not the server, I just removed "Builtin/Administrators" from the restrict groups group policy. As result the account I had been using to administer the server lost it's membership in "Builtin/Administrators" on the server.
As a consequence of this, it also lost the Allow Local Logon right on the server--as this was granted to members of Builtin/Administrators.
I could no longer logon to the server locally with the acmeadmin account (as only administrators are allowed to logon to the server). I was still able to logon to workstations with the acmelogin account as non administrators had the right to logon to workstations.
The default administrator account (ACME/Users) can not lose membership in the Builtin/Administrators group (You get a "cannot perform this action on built in accounts"). I was confused because I thought this was the account I was using when really it was not.
Once I realized my mistake, I was able to boot the server and enable to the builtin Administrator account ACME/Users (I can't remember if I used DSRM or a Linux boot disk). I may have had to reset the password on the built in administrator account too--I can't recall.
Once the builtin administrator account (ACME/Users) was re-enabled, I was able to use it to access the server again and to cleanup my group policy and account problems. I hope this clarifies the situation. Please let me know how we'd like to proceed or if I should add this explanation to the self answer.
I strongly disagree that there is no useful information for anyone. ‘I noticed these symptoms but it turned out they where the result of me doing X wrong’ is useful information for anyone doing the same thing wrong (and not noticing it).
Also, in a way, if you read any question with an accepted answer in order to help, you have always a good chance to “waste your time”, because the answer usually solves the problem.
As Sven notes, your reason for thinking that’s a VLQ in need of deletion are wrong, but you are right that it is VLQ and should probably be deleted.
Domain controllers don’t really have local accounts, and the built-in administrator account is reserved for directory services restore mode (DSRM), which is why he couldn’t find it. His self answer is total crap, and I can definitively state that he didn’t do what he claimed (or wasn’t doing it on a domain controller, at least).
So yes, I agree that this question and answer is delete-worthy crap.
Since it seems like you won’t be able to get the mods to delete it, the other option is to get it voted down to the level that delete votes are available to the higher rep users with that privilege (-3, I think, and maybe a question with an answer needs to be closed too), and then get three high-rep users to cast a delete vote.

Lil Rel stopped by Two Bees TV ahead of the premiere of the second episode of his series, Rel, at the 2018 Urbanworld Film Festival. He was one of the victims of Katt Williams’ rant about undeserving comedians so of course that was a hot topic.
He discussed many things including, why he decided to cast social media comedian, Jess Hilarious, as his best friend on the show. But when asked about his thoughts in regards to what Katt said about him he admitted that he felt bad for him.
Eventually he went on to say that he still had respect for the legendary comedian, and that he was still a fan.
During the Q&A moderated by Blogxilla amid the screening, he explained what happened backstage at the Emmys when he crossed paths with Katt. Lil Rel said that when he heard Dave Chappelle showing him love, he just walked away. However, he was photographed on his knees and hugging Tiffany Haddish.

This breaks existing API and that the gtk project does all the time. Divide and conquer is the strategy of redhat to keep the gnome3 desktop a live and prevent the Linux desktop success. I have dreamed to port the Xfce desktop to Vulkan. The Vulkan API seems to be quite stable.
"You are fucked if you try porting your programs from GTK3 to GTK4 or even worse, if you still have some old GTK2 programs around that needs to be portetd"
That's why I try porting my old programs to gtk_object_builder and making usage of Glade for GUI, to avoid messing around with the Toolkit as much as possible.
I also started using wrapper functions in my own code, so I can direct the function calls to either GTK2, GTK3, GTK4 that are located inside subdirs of my own projects. That way I can prevent from messing around in my *own* code.
It was already a big nightmare to get correct widget sizes and positions back, when I moved one of my projects (with a free positioning container) from GTK2 to GTK3, where I realized that all my buttons that used to have 17x17 pixels became 25x25 pixels due to style sheets of the toolkit. It was a nightmare to fix that.
The article complains about broken GTK themes which is something that's repeatedly been said isn't supported.
Anyway, the rest of the article is redundant because Flatpak is now a thing and you can easily choose what GTK version you want no matter what the host version is.
Flatpak is now a thing and you can easily choose what GTK version you want no matter what the host version is.
A door openeer for many big and not yet to be throughly measurable problems to come.
I'm glad that article was written as there was a time when the GTK devs were being unreasonable IMO, however that story is now old and no longer applies to either GTK+ 3 or GTK 4.
GTK+ 3 stabalised the API at version 3.22.
disabled. Finally, no theming chages.
So GTK+ 3 is now stable and awesome. It wasn't in the past, but those days are over as judged by their promise and their actions since making the promise.
As for GTK 4: it's a major change so there should be no assumption that it will be in any way backwards compatible. I'm sure the devs are going to some effort to make porting GTK+ 3.x apps to GTK 4 somewhat easier, but I do not fault them at all if they fail to achieve this. In-fact my preference is that they should be ruthless with major changes in order to make each new major version as awesome as possible. However, I think that once a major version is released, it should remain near 100% backwards compatible between successive minor releases: which is what the devs have promised.
I hope you are on the side of truth and now that you know that GTK+ 3.22 is stable you wont tell people otherwise. For that matter, GTK+ 2.24 is also a fixed stable platform and GTK 4.x should be a stable platform from the moment it his 4.0 on release.

Flatpak is wasting disk space, download speed and security.
Debian has fast and secure package servers around the world. Debian provides more than a pure OS: it comes with over 51000 packages, precompiled software bundled up in a nice format for easy installation on your machine.

Same big job ahead for Xfce developers when they ported from gtk2 to gtk3. Communists like redhat force people to work. The Xfce desktop is ready, it does not need any new features from a toolkit.
1. How is Redhat communist? Communist implies worker or government control over the means of production.
3. Xfce devs were not forced to upgrade to GTK+ 3 and they are not forced to upgrade to GTK 4. GTK+ 3 is a nice toolkit IMO. It has a decent set of widgets, it's themeable, has lots of bindings, is a stable API and supports Wayland. I doubt it's going anywhere anytime soon. Even GTK+ 2.x is present on tons of GNU/Linux desktops today.
4. So you're not going to comment about the fact I provided you some new information correcting your old information? If someone corrects me with links to decent information, I like to say something like "ah, thanks. I didn't know that."

WELCOME TO ITALIAN LAWYERS IN LONDON.
Discover and access an online community of experts, advisors, and Italian lawyers in an innovative way.
Whether you are an individual or a business with a legal concern, you can now access an online community of self-employed experts, advisors, and Italian lawyers willing to offer their know-how and expertise in an innovative way.
Everyone dictates the type of work, its volume, and location on their own, without being bound by a traditional work environment, and offers such know-how and expertise at any time and with utmost simplicity and efficiency. Everyone has gained significant experience in a foreign jurisdiction and is therefore capable of appreciating the complexity of each case by turning it into plain English for you.
Communications are done via Skype, emails, and by way of face-to-face meetings.
We will not charge you for financial and administrative costs attributed to law firms services. Legal fees are generally set out at the outset of your matter by the lawyer you choose to work with and in a complete autonomy way. With him/her you will discuss the basis of your client-attorney relationship without any further interference.
Find the right advice, expertise, and professional guidance all in the same place. Browse the following sections and do not hesitate to contact us for any help you may need. Call us on + 44 2032399065.
My name is Davide Palazzo, and I am the Founder of Italian lawyers in London. I am an Italian attorney skilled at assisting clients in successfully complying with the complex international laws and regulations. Here’s the basis upon which I provide my know-how and experience.
I am regularly licensed to practice law both in Italy and the U.K. As an Avvocato I am regulated by the Italian Law Society (“Ordine degli Avvocati di Milano”) on the other hand as an European lawyer, I am registered with the Solicitor Authority of London (SRA no. 636040).
Grown up with a strong passion for law, I come from a prestigious University, leading Italian law firms, and UK’s law practices. I stand out for my ability to consider each case from both a Civil law and Common law viewpoint. Likewise, a very positive attitude toward clients care is what makes myself highly reliable, professional, and straightforward. There is no point for me in saying that everything can be as you wish. We both know that it would be impossible to do so. What I do is different. I shape your expectations on what you can realistically achieve for your matter. Therefore, I thoroughly guide you toward the best outcome for you, and for your business.
Through a network of global law experts, I can help you with any issues regarding English and Italian law. Let’s consider the following examples. Are you interested in buying a real estate in Italy? Do you want to learn more about how to get Italian citizenship? Would you like to invest in the UK but you do not know how? Well, you’re in the right place to get legal aid, even online if you want to!
Over the years, I have assisted many Italian companies expanding abroad and foreign companies operating in Italy as to a wide range of legal matters: corporate and commercial law, real estate, joint venture, and Italian citizenship are just a few of those. I have represented clients in mediation, arbitration, and settlements negotiations placed in Italy as well as helping businesses of all sizes develop their international business objectives and export business opportunities in a specific target market, Italy and the U.K. included.

It’s not easy being a shoemaker in these modern times. People don’t appreciate quality like they used to. It’s cheaper to buy a pair of boots or sandals at a store than to have them specially made for you.
I can’t tell you what the difference is between those boots and the kind I make. You have to experience my work to know what I mean.
That’s why I agreed to come to Renaissance Faire Village and Marketplace with Jessie Morton and her husband, Chase Manhattan. I was working in Tennessee when they found me at a craft fair. Every day I had to explain to people what made my boots special.
Now everyone in Renaissance Village understands that part of my secret is elf magic. I put a little in every pair of boots, sandals, and slippers that I make. It all began with my great-great-great grandfather—the one in the story with the elves?
We suspect he married one of those elves and her magic passed down the generations to everyone in our family. It was one of my ancestors that made the glass slippers for Cinderella, and the slippers for the three dancing princesses. Our magic and quality has been around a long time.
People here in Renaissance Village believe in me, and my magic. But it’s caused some trouble for me too. I may have put too much magic into Princess Isabelle’s dancing slippers. I think they caused her to leap off the castle terrace to her death.
Jessie doesn’t believe it. She stands up for me. She's looking for the killer, so I have to find a way to make this up to her. Maybe it wasn’t me that killed the lovely Isabelle. But how can I prove it?

Besan Gatte is one of the most popular Rajasthani recipe. You can make dry Besan gatta or make it with curry, in both the ways it tastes delicious. Lets make something new today - Besan Gatte Fry Recipe.
Gram flour - 150 gms.
Turmeric powder - 2 pinch.
Red chilli powder - 1/6 tea spoon.
Oil - 2 table spoon.
Amchoor powder - 1/6 tea spoon.
Garam masala - 1/6 tea spoon.
Sieve the gram flour and add 1 table spoon oil and 1/4 tea spoon salt in it. Mix them well. Knead the flour with water (50 gms). Cover the dough and leave t for 20 minutes to set. Take a small portion of the dough, equal to the size of a lemon and roll it into 3/4 inch -4 inch thick roll. Prepare more rolls with the remaining dough in the same manner.
Now take 600 gms water in a pan and let it boil. Once the water boils, put the rolls into it in a way so that they dip completely inside the water. Let them boil for 12 minutes and turn off the flame. Take out the rolls in a plate and use the boiled water to make the curry. Cut the rolls into 1/2 inch thick pieces once they cools down.
Heat oil in a pan and tamper the cumin seeds and heeng into it. Now add green chilli, ginger, coriander powder, salt and turmeric powder to it. Stir and mix the masala well. Now put the besan gatte into the masala and roast for 2 minutes. Sprinkle the garam masala and amchoor powder over the gatte and cook it for another 2 minutes.
Besan Gatta Fry is ready. Serve it with naan, parantha and rice.

The spread of neoliberal ideas, institutions and policies since the 1980s is one of the key findings of comparative political economy. An important indicator for neoliberal reform has been the downward trend in tax rates imposed on capital. When looking at the most recent data, however, the analyst is surprised by a discrepancy between the trends in tax rates imposed on corporate profits and personal capital income. Why has capital recently been taxed more heavily at the personal than at the corporate level? Conventional theories of tax reform expect a uniform effect of their respective explanatory variable on the taxation of capital. In contrast, we argue that the observed divergence in tax rates on personal capital income and corporate profits is the result of a parallel divergence in the levels of international cooperation against tax evasion and tax avoidance. To test our hypotheses, we perform a differences-in-differences analysis, comparing the evolution of tax rates before and after the establishment of multilateral automatic exchange of information on the capital income of non-residents.

For a more thoroughly researched essay on Maiden Lane, please check out Maiden Lane and the Pot-holes of History by Peter Field, also in our archive.
If you get tired of the posh respectability of Union Square, and find yourself with a hankering for sin, sleaze, and assorted sordid stuff, where can you go? In the words of the immortal Horace Greeley, "Go west, young man." West along O'Farrell Street, that is. You'll traverse the Tenderloin District, San Francisco's scummiest neighborhood, a filth-encrusted hotbed of immorality, indecency, lewdness, corruption, and all manner of vice. (The Tenderloin got its name from the custom of paying higher salaries to police that worked in this crime-ridden area, thereby enabling them to buy choicer cuts of meat.) Eventually, if you haven't been mugged, robbed, raped, shot, or convinced to cough up a few dollars for the purpose of either acquiring some dubious mind-altering substance and/or participating in a brief, mutually-degrading physical encounter on a sagging bed in a roach-infested unfurnished room, you will reach the Mitchell Brothers' O'Farrell Theater, where your thirst for sleaze (and grotesquely overpriced drinks) can be slaked.
Actually, O'Farrell isn't really San Francisco's sleaziest street; it has to compete with cross-streets Taylor, Jones, Leavenworth, Hyde, Larkin, and the inimitable Polk, where runaway children of both sexes may be bought and sold; and with parallel thoroughfares Ellis, Eddy, Turk, and Golden Gate.
Every night, and especially every Saturday night, this dismal bedlam of obscenity, lighted only by the red lamps above the doors of the cribs, was thronged by a tumultuous mob of half-drunken men, who stumbled from crib to crib, greedily inspecting the women as if they had been so many wild animals in cages. From the casement-windows leaned the harlots, naked to the waist, adding their shrill cries of invitation to the uproar, while their pimps haggled with passing men and tried to drag them inside the dens. If business was dull, the pimps sold the privilege of touching the breasts of the prostitutes at the standard rate of ten cents each or two for fifteen cents. But on Saturday nights some of the more popular women, who had built up a more or less regular clientele, remained in their workshops from dusk to dawn, while the pimps kept the men standing in line outside, their hats in one hand and money in the other. It was not uncommon for a Morton Street prostitute to entertain as many as eighty to a hundred men in one night."
San Franciscans believed that redheads, especially Jewish redheads, were sizzling hot. A madam named Iodoform Kate made a fortune during the 1890's by offering at least one red-haired Jewess in every crib.
The two blocks of Maiden Lane look perfectly respectable now. There's even a Frank Lloyd Wright building, the Circle Gallery, at 140 Maiden Lane. What happened? The earthquake and fire of 1906, that's what. After more than forty years of pandering to San Franciscans' lewdest and most degenerate tastes, the cribs burned in the great fire and were never rebuilt; by then, property values in the area had skyrocketed, and the land was taken over by legitimate business. But don't worry, you can still find plenty of sleaze just a short walk from Union Square.

Happy Sunday! The Friends of SUBA are hopping again today. Come join to see a sneak peek of amazing new products.
Starting in January Stampin’ Up!® will release a new Occasions Catalog along with the Sale-a-bration Catalog. Sale-a-bration is the most fantastic time of the Stampin’ Up! year.
Valentine’s Day is one of my favorite holidays. I love to let people know I love them and care about them. There are several stamps sets in the new catalog for Valentine’s Day, but they also work well for weddings, encouragement, and birthdays. I love being able to use stamp sets for many occasions.
I created two 3D items for our blog hop.
This framed piece will sit on the small buffet in our eat in kitchen. I like to have seasonal decorations that are not too large or fussy. Meant to Be Bundle has the stamp sets and the framelits to make this display piece. You will need the Large Letters to spell LOVE.
Did you notice the stunning Lace Dynamic Embossing Folder? I embossed the letters as well as the Whisper White background. Sweet and simple.
My next piece is a treat box. I ran the Silver Gable box through the Big Shot using the Lace Embossing folder.
It is so pretty! I used the same Be Mine Stitched Framelits but added the stamps from Forever Lovely. Some fluffy ribbons finish off the box.
I hope you have enjoyed my projects today. Make sure you hop on to Gina. She will have something special to get you excited about the new catalogs!
The Friends of SUBA are celebrating children this month. I always enjoy children birthday cards because they are fun, fun, fun.
I decided to use Best Bunny for my cards. The bunnies in this set are darling and it comes with a matching punch! I love punches.
My first card: A cute note card that will surprise and delight.
I liked it so much I made several using most of the Brights Collection of DSP. This bundle of cards makes me smile.
The bunny’s face is so expressive and funny. How do they get a stamp to convey humor?
For this card I used embossing paste, the picket fence from a Christmas set and balloons from a birthday set. A lot of little details that combine to make one happy card.
Thanks for joining us on our hop today.
Hop on to Leighsa, I know her projects will be lovely.
Welcome to another SUBA Blog Hop. You are going to enjoy this trip across the Internet as we share Green cards. We were challenged to create a card using three new green colours. Talk about hard! It was quite a challenge for me. I finally came up with two very green cards that I am happy with!
My first card uses a set titled Bubble Over. This set makes it easy to create cards for those men in our life.
Masculine cards tend to give us trouble, don’t they? I started with covering the card front with these Designer Series Paper. Then I realized they looked like bottle caps…bingo. Pull out Bubble Over and add some bottles and a few Glitter Dot bubbles. I also embossed the Whisper White base with the new Subtles Embossing Folder. It is hard to see the embossing in a photo, but it gives just the right touch of texture to your cardstock. This is a must have embossing folder in my opinion.
Next up is a card created with Eastern Medallion Thinlits. This has very little stamping, but it is still a fun card to create.
Adding the coloured layers and Glitter Dots add interest.
July is a busy month for Stampin’ Up! The Designer Series Paper sale lasts until the last day of July. Don’t miss out on all this gorgeous paper.
We also have a wonderful promotion for those of you who may want to join Stampin’ Up! when you join for $99.00 you get to choose $125.00 in products and you get to choose an ink pad family for FREE! With all the new colors we have you will want to take advantage of this no obligation special.
Thanks so much for stopping by today. Make sure you click on the links below and follow along on our green journey.
Click here for some green fun….

1781-1829 British George Dawe Locations English painter and writer. He was the son of the mezzotint engraver Philip Dawe who taught him engraving. He continued to concentrate on engraving when he entered the Royal Academy Schools, London, in 1796, producing portraits until 1802, when he turned to history painting. In 1803 he won a gold medal and the following year made his d?but at the Royal Academy, where he exhibited until 1818, often showing such anecdotal and literary works as Imogen Found in the Cave of Belarius (exh. RA 1809; London, Tate). He was elected an ARA in 1809 and an RA in 1814 and soon afterwards returned to portrait painting. In 1816 he painted a number of portraits of George IV daughter Princess Charlotte (e.g. London, N.P.G.), several of which were engraved. In 1817 he went to Brussels and was present at the review of the allied troops by Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington in Cambrai. Soon afterwards he was invited by Tsar Alexander I of Russia to paint the portraits of all the senior officers who had taken part in the Napoleonic Wars. He travelled to St Petersburg in 1819 where, over the next nine years, he painted nearly 400 portraits. These were placed in a specially built gallery (destr.) in the Winter Palace in St Petersburg. He returned briefly to England in 1828 before travelling to Berlin, where he painted the portraits of Ernest Augustus, Duke of Cumberland (1828; London, N.P.G.) and Frederick William III, King of Prussia (1828; untraced). From Berlin he moved to St Petersburg and then to Warsaw before being forced by illness to return to England, where he died shortly afterwards. His book The Life of George Morland with Remarks on his Works (1807) is both a lively account of his godfather dissipated lifestyle and a fairly critical appreciation of his work.
German music critic, aesthetician and pioneer of musical appreciation. He studied music with Tom??šek and read law at Prague University, writing his earliest essays for the Prague journal Ost und West and for the Wiener Musikzeitung, the Sonntagsblätter and the Wiener Zeitung. From 1849 to 1861 he was a civil servant, chiefly for the ministry of culture, meanwhile writing for the Presse, publishing his important book Vom Musikalisch-Schönen (1854) and lecturing on music appreciation at Vienna University, becoming full professor in 1870. He was also active as a musical emissary and helped promote the standardization of musical pitch. Among his long-standing friends were Brahms and the philosopher Robert Zimmermann. Though his aesthetic enshrined the classical ideals of orderliness and formal perfection, his interests were limited to the music of his own time.

Foreign Relations of the United States, 1946, vol. VI: Eastern Europe, The Soviet Union. Department of State Publication 8470, (Washington, DC : Gov't Printing Office, 1969), pp. 686-687.
SECRET Moscow, January 29, 1946--6 p.m.
267. In efforts to analyze basic thinking which lies behind present Soviet approach to over-all questions of international affairs, I think Dept would do well to bear in mind Soviet views on future of great-power relationships as reflected in recent comments on Anglo-American economic agreement. These comments reveal two aspects of Soviet outlook which this Mission considers to be of basic importance.
First is complete Soviet confidence that US is faced with employment problem which it is basically incapable of solving and that it will attempt, albeit unsuccessfully, to solve this problem by exporting on credit, i.e. at immediate expense of US Govt, on large scale.
Second is conviction that economic struggle between US and Great Britain is bound to lead to acute political tension between those two countries.
This last conclusion, which will have far reaching and basic influence on Soviet policy, is a new note in contemporary party line, and has only recently come to the fore. Most striking evidence of it was given in recent public lecture by Professor Varga on Anglo-American economic relations. Varga is the leading party theorist on capitalist world, head of important Institute of World Economics and Politics and editor of magazine of that name, and must be regarded as a responsible mouthpiece of thought for influential Communist Party circles. In this lecture Varga referred specifically to speech made by Stalin in 1928 in which it was said that Anglo-American differences were the decisive differences on international imperialism. Admitting that these differences had "abated somewhat" during recent war, Varga said that it was "inevitable that economic differences would in future lead to more tense political relations, just as Stalin had said".
I doubt that Varga would have drawn attention to a Stalin speech from so long in the past unless this had been sanctioned and desired by high party circles. For this reason I think section referred to in Stalin's 1928 speech deserves careful attention as indication of current Soviet outlook. Summary of that section follows.
Of all differences in capitalist world, that between American and English capitalism had become the basic one. Wherever US tried to expand it found British vested positions thwarting its path. What this basic difference mean? It meant war. "When two giants meet with each other, when there is too little room for them on the world's surface, they try to measure their strength in order to decide by war the debatable question of hegemony."
Second great difference in capitalist world was that between imperialism and colonies. This in turn meant national colonial wars and imperialist intervention in colonial countries.
Third great difference was that between capitalist world and USSR. If at one time it had been possible to speak of a "certain equilibrium, a shaky equilibrium to be sure but of more or less long duration, between the two worlds, the two antipodes," it now had to be said that this balance was coming to an end. This meant USSR was faced with possibility of foreign intervention.
In these circumstances, capitalists were trying to lull working class into false sense of security by "the current pacifism, with its League of Nations, with its preaching about peace and about outlawing of war, with its chatter about disarmament, etc." Pacifism was a means of preparing war and screening such preparation. There were crazy fools who interpreted imperialist pacifism to mean that there would be no war. This was not correct. And most important of all was that Social Democrats were the principal surveyors [purveyors?] of imperialist pacifism in working class. Pacifism was preached by Social Democrats in order better to prepare for war and to oppress working class and Communist Parties in the rear by Fascist methods.
(2) "Creation of united front of workers of advanced countries and of toiling masses of colonies in order to ward off the danger of war or, if war came, to turn imperialist war into civil war, to smash Fascism, to overthrow capitalism, to set up Soviet power, to free the colonies from slavery and to organize world wide defense of the first workers' republic in history."
This is summary of passage to which Varga called attention on January 24, 1946. I believe it might be profitably borne in mind by others than those whom Varga's remarks were immediately addressed.


text: Called the work of "a mesmerizing storyteller with deep compassion and memorable prose" by Publishers Weekly, and flagged as the book that, "anyone interested in natural history, botany, protecting nature, or Native American culture will love," by Library Journal, Braiding Sweetgrass in paperback is poised to reach a far wider audience and will continue to inspire, educate, and entertain yet more readers. As a botanist, Robin Wall Kimmerer has been trained to ask questions of nature with the tools of science. As a member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation, she embraces indigenous teachings that consider plants and animals to be our oldest teachers. Kimmerer brings these two lenses of knowledge together in Braiding Sweetgrass to take ?us on a journey that is every bit as mythic as it is scientific, as sacred as it is historical, as clever as it is wise” (Elizabeth Gilbert). Drawing on her life as an indigenous scientist, a mother, and a woman, Kimmerer shows how other living beings?asters and goldenrod, strawberries and squash, salamanders, algae, and sweetgrass?offer us gifts and lessons, even if we've forgotten how to hear their voices. In a rich braid of reflections that range from the creation of Turtle Island to the forces that threaten its flourishing today, she circles toward a central argument: that the awakening of a wider ecological consciousness requires the acknowledgement and celebration of our reciprocal relationship with the rest of the living world. For only when we can hear the languages of other beings will we be capable of understanding the generosity of the earth, and learn to give our own gifts in return.

The objective of this paper is to assess the need and the importance of Islamic fashion in the world. The issues highlighted are the evolution of Islamic fashion, the acceptance of modest fashion globally as well as Muslims’ spending on clothing. In this study, it elaborated on the growth of Islamic lifestyle globally, the top-ranking countries for all Halal sectors as per Global Islamic Economy Index, the position of Malaysia as compared to other Muslim countries in Islamic fashion and further explained the opportunity of Malaysia that has taken on board to create job for consumers and designers. The methodology used is the review of published dissertation and literature to generate the foundation and to elicit relevant information for the issues covered by this study. Findings shows that both international designers and high street brands empower the modest fashion given the new modern modest fashion fresh attire since it does not just celebrate faith but develop a fashion-conscious society, especially among Malaysian women. With its current growth, modest fashion has created diversity, celebrated inclusion and redefined modesty as less religion. In fact, the Islamic fashion in Malaysia has becoming a new phenomenon such as the brand like dUCk, Naelofar, to name a few. Muslim fashion is a lucrative global industry with countries such as Indonesia, Malaysia and Turkey are leading the way outside the Western countries. Islamic fashion has been supported by the development of internet technology which is increasingly advancing and causing an eye-opener for customers to shift to online shopping. With the high density of Muslims in Asia Pacific, Islamic clothing will be expected to be one of the promising markets in the business. In conclusion, Islamic fashion industry is becoming more diverse and inclusive, and the demand for modest-wear is gaining momentum. With a growing Muslim population, there is an increased demand for modest but also fashionable clothing for the youth, who have significant spending power. As a recommendation, Muslim-owned brands should be aware of the development of technology and the diversity of demand for Islamic fashion which not only covers Muslims’ spending but also non-Muslim.

Why vacations on tropical island is something that awakes the interest of increasing percentage of people?
One of the most influential reasons why customers travel is connected with the fact that they would like to experience something new. The reason why we would like to meet something new is that it makes us feel like we live. Existing for a lot of years with the same routine then is something that might make us lose motivation and don’t have the willingness to experience something new.
Working in a pharmaceutical business we may quickly observe that there is great range of progress examples in technology that impact the way this industry looks currently. Their improvement is generally related to the fact that the demand for miscellaneous medicines continues to rise, which implies that it has been made obligatory to introduce technologies that would help ourselves produce in bigger amounts with reduced investments of money.
Although there are many incredible places in the world, which you should see, there are two which are particularly amazing. Maybe it would be a great idea to visit them during the upcoming holidays?

The Crime Risk Management team at BRE has developed a Safer Town Centres toolkit and consultancy service to help those involved in the night time economy reduce the problems of alcohol-related violence and disorder.
Based on extensive research by BRE, the toolkit has been approved by the Home Office and welcomed by the Police & Partnership Standards Unit. It stresses the need for joined-up thinking by those responsible for the wide ranging policies involved in managing town centres at night – including lighting, CCTV, planning, health, transport, licensing of premises, street vendors and taxis, police, street maintenance, and many other issues.
Freely available at www.bre.co.uk/safetowncentresatnight, it is hoped that the toolkit will encourage thought and action and stimulate debate. As town centre legislation and knowledge are in a continuous state of change, the toolkit will be modified and updated on a regular basis.
The toolkit developers, BRE’s Crime Risk Management team, provide independent and professional crime reduction and crime prevention services. They carry out detailed scientific assessments and draw up action plans to reduce or remove crime and disorder problems.

Mr FINCH - I want to move away from the phone situation. I'm not scooting ahead to Education but I want to look at the new polytechnics. I am informed that since secondary colleges will become part of polytechnic campuses their computer services have entered a disaster zone - that's how it has been described to me. There are long waits and lack of access. Is there a response to that?
Mr BARTLETT - Well, a better time to raise that would be when we get to Education but I am happy to give you an overview. I think 'disaster zone' is a bit harsh, to be honest. In fact I know from my own background that bringing together nine campuses in a short period of time to operate on disparate systems, two different enrolment systems, a whole range of things, is an extremely complex task and I think the shared services unit in the Polytechnic and the IT area did a very good job in doing that. But they would say themselves that not all the services available to teachers in some areas were available on day one as they switched on. I can only go on what the committee was told yesterday by the CEOs of the two organisations who said that significant improvement had been made. I would also add this: I think we need a significant investment in information technology systems across the new institutions to get them to the level that I want to see in student administration and, more to the point, in teaching and learning.
The truth of the matter is that there is nothing really different in the systems that were out there operating in colleges and in TAFE campuses from last year to this year; partly it is about finding something that is wrong and partly it is about trying to bring old systems together with new systems and the normal migration issues. I am happy to explore that further when we get to that output.
Mr FINCH - Yes, quite a few of my questions were about what is happening in the Polytechnic.
Mr BARTLETT - TMD would have very little to do with that, other than they might sell some telecommunications services through the Network in Tasmania contract which is essentially Telstra services in telecommunications.

Will I Lose My Home This Time?
If you have had trouble managing your money, you may find yourself in debt to credit card and loan companies. It can be stressful and even embarrassing to be in this position, but the best approach is to confront the problem head on and try and work out a solution with your creditors.
Failure to pay your credit card bills or general loan repayments may result in court action and bad credit ratings, but the only time you are in danger of losing your home is if you fail to keep up your mortgage repayments.
or work out a revised schedule, but if you don’t do this, or you fail to keep to the new schedule, you could be in danger of losing your home. How can you prevent this?
After you’ve missed a number of payments, your mortgage company will write to you, asking you to contact them. It might be easy to put the letter to one side, but it can do you more harm than good in the long term.
Instead, call your mortgage company and ask for a meeting so that you can explain your circumstances and work out a revised payment schedule.
If you have other debts as well as your mortgage and you are struggling to pay everything, look at ways you can cut your expenditure to help catch up with payments.
Showing that you are making an effort to pay your debts may delay the mortgage company applying for a court order to repossess your home.
If your payment problems have reached the stage where repossession is a real threat, you may need to talk to specialist lenders. They can help arrange fast finance that allows you to repay your debts and keep your home.
Alternatively, they can arrange a quick house sale so that you can clear your debts completely and start again.
Face up to your money difficulties and talk to financial experts that can help you stay in your home.
