Monsoon is usually a stressful time for Leila Alvares, because it is when she starts readying her new musical. This year, even more so. Alvares was in Bengaluru, rehearsing for The Addams Family, when landslides hit her coffee estate and homestay near Madikeri in Kodagu. She lost a few crops, but fortunately, her children were here with her, and none of the labourers working at her farms were affected. She did think of driving back to Kodagu to help in the relief efforts, but the roads were broken and led nowhere. She is still here, and is hoping that her new show runs houseful across Bengaluru, Mangaluru, and Payyanur, so she can donate the proceedings towards the rehabilitation of Kodagu. The show at Kottayam in Kerala had to be cancelled due to the floods.
For the past 21 years, Alvares has been making musicals and donating the funds raised to charities working for the poor, stray animals, and the environment. Only “20 per cent” goes back to The CAUSE (Cooperation of the Arts for the Underprivileged in Society & Environment) Foundation, a not-for-profit that she runs to promote local artists. “We need that amount as a corpus for our next production because we struggle to get sponsorship,” she admits. This, despite the fact that all her cast and crew, which can total 36, (including her teenage son and daughter) work for free, purely out of love for the stage.
Just take the case of The Addams Family, which tells the story of a ghoulish American family. Of the `15lakh budget for its Bengaluru leg, “only about four lakhs have come through sponsors”, and the rest from advertisements and in kind. So tickets sales are critical, and free passes are a big no until somebody has contributed to the show. “One time, somebody called me up, claiming he was from the CM’s office, asking for passes.
I just said ‘Sorry, please buy your own ticket’,” recollects Alvares, frank as always.
To ensure footfalls, she creates musicals that her audience is familiar with, such as The Sound of Music, Fiddler on the Roof, Young Frankenstein and Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. That’s how The Addams Family also made the cut. It is based on the characters of the iconic cartoon series of the same name, which was later adapted to TV, films and Broadway. “I was not a real fan of the TV series but I found the musical – its songs, dance sequences, and costumes – quite entertaining,” she reasons.
In here, Wednesday Addams has fallen in love with a man her parents have never met, and then confides in her father and begs him not to tell her mother. Now, Gomez Addams must do something he’s never done before – keep a secret from his Morticia. Everything will change for the whole family on the fateful night they host a dinner for Wednesday’s ‘normal’ boyfriend and his parents. “What makes this family popular is that even though they are vampire-like, they exhibit human qualities; they go through the same trials and tribulations that humans do,” she says.
Besides The Addams Family, her first book also kept her on her feet this year. Called Once upon a time, this 304-pager is part-autobiography, part-commentary on our times, and part-recommendations of her go-to music, books, and foods. Again, some proceeds from the book sales, to be launched alongside her musical, will go towards the rehabilitation work.

text: Being innovative without ever forgetting its own history is one of the things that Moncler does best. For the Dorfman, from the 2 Moncler 1952 line, collection n°2 of the Moncler Genius project, the starting point is the iconic blue, white and red colours, reinterpreted by the famous digital artist Hey Reilly in an allover print with a distinctly contemporary character that alternates hearts, stars and trees. Almost reminiscent of the emojis used on social networks.

In the article, writer Jörg Wirtgen discusses the disadvantage of synchronizing through cloud servers. He also explains the process of how AkrutoSync syncs Outlook and Windows Phone 8.1. The software syncs Outlook calendar, contacts, tasks and notes.
Wirtgen says that when the phone is connected with the home network-connected PC, synchronizing Outlook and Windows Phone 8.1 using AkrutoSync works well. We’re honored to have our software mentioned in C’t Magazin, which has a circulation of more than 300,000.
You can try the full version of the software free for seven days to see if it’s a good fit for you. Get AkrutoSync here. One license covers one Windows PC and unlimited devices. The software also syncs Outlook calendar and Android devices. Phone support and support for the German language and iOS are in the works.
To get a recommendation from c’t is really something to be proud of. I’ve read countless tests of high caliber products of them where they wouldn’t call a single product “very good” or more. They expose every weakness and usually restrict recommendations to a specific usage. It is without a doubt Europes Top computer magazine. Congratulations!
Thank you for your comment, Thomas. We are truly honored to appear in the c’t magazin.

A few days ago Peru said the last goodbye to an exceptional woman, who some have called the “Mother of Peruvian Cuisine”. Teresa was one of the most respected and loved figures of our gastronomy, and she leaves fond memories of her lingering smile and luscious food, and many great recipes that will keep her alive in our kitchens for generations to come.
Despite her humble origins, Teresa always had the ambition to do something big. Her mother, a sought after cook in the rich houses of Lima, taught her how to cook at a tender age, with the recipes inherited from her grandmother. Her big test came one day when her mom got sick, and Teresa, who was only 8, took charge of the kitchen with fearlessness and determination. When she told me this story she still remembered exactly what she had to cook that day: rice and lentils, roast beef with salad, soup, and lemon pie. The meal was a success, as one can imagine, and she discovered her calling.
Many years later and already a mother herself, she decided to open the restaurant that made her famous: El Rincón Que No Conoces (The corner you don´t know). Interesting name for a restaurant, don´t you think? Her popularity was not instant, but she persevered, always keeping up the quality of her colonial desserts and traditional food cooked in clay pots, and soon the word about this little culinary gem spread all over the city. Politicians, businessmen, artists and journalists, were among her loyal clients over the years.
She gained presence in the media too, writing books, being interviewed all over the place, and becoming a household name. Even Rachel Ray, from the Food Network, visited Teresa´s restaurant and interviewed her for one of her shows. She used her new found celebrity to promote ingredients that weren´t well known or accepted in some parts of the country, such as guinea pig, which was eaten almost daily by villagers in the Andes, but was still a tabu for great part of the population. One of the walls of El Rincón is covered with pictures of all the famous people who had the luck to try her cooking. The place was even named national heritage, an honor that not many eateries can brag about.
I have very tender memories of Teresa, always loving and welcoming, greeting people with the warmest of smiles, like a mother does her kids. She would go out all the time to talk to the clients and make them try new things, charming them with both her food and loving personality. What she hated the most, she told me, was when food was left on the plate. When the dish was returned clean to the kitchen, the excitement made her want to go out and clap at the gourmands.
As it turned out, her mother had worked as a cook for my then husband´s aunt, so the familiarity with which she treated me was even greater. We were seated in a terrace on the second floor of the restaurant, and she brought out lots of dishes for me to try. I was delighted with the savoriness of her Tacu Tacu, prepared with canary beans, pancetta and rice; beans with Escabeche sauce was another dish that caught my attention. The Escabeche sauce was spicy and with a nice kick of vinegar, that combined perfectly with the creamy beans. Arroz con Pato was another of her many specialties. She used to serve the duck boned, and the rice was perfectly cooked, fluffy and al dente enough that you could count every grain, but at the same time it had soaked up all the cilantro sauce which made it juicy and bursting with flavor.
As the final touch, Teresa sent me Frejol Colado, a sweet concoction with a soft texture similar to dulce de leche, that is made of black beans but doesn´t resemble their taste at all. It´s a very old recipe from African origins in which beans are cooked, then peeled and cooked again with anise seeds, cloves, and sprinkled with sesame seeds at the very end. It´s a real treat if you have a sweet tooth, which I do.
But what I enjoyed the most from all this wonderful homey preparations, was a sweet made of a fruit called Nispero (an acidic fruit from Latin America). I loved it cause it tasted just like a sweet my grandmother used to make in El Salvador when I was a little girl. It was like having a flashback from family and childhood, which completely rounded up the experience of spending an afternoon in Teresa´s world.
We will share some recipes inspired by her cooking very soon, so you get to meet her through her food. She will never be forgotten.

No more rumours. No more speculation. Apple has officially announced three brand-new iPhones at its September 12 special event in Cupertino.
The release confirms a multitude of leaks that have trickled through the press since WWDC in June, but Apple managed to keep the bulk of the details secret until today.
Less than a year after the release of the iPhone X, Apple has launched its much-anticipated successors. As the names suggest, the iPhone XS and XS Max step up the game without any drastic redesign the likes of which we saw last year.
Sporting a notch, edge-to-edge OLED display and stainless steel construction which will look familiar to iPhone X users, the XS and XS Max feature OLED Super Retina displays – 5.8-inch and 6.5-inch respectively.
This makes the XS Max display the largest Apple has ever produced for a smartphone, which seems to be the reason the company departed from the traditional ‘Plus’ name.
In terms of hardware, the XS and XS Max take a powerful step forward with the A12 bionic chip. According to Apple, the A12 boasts a CPU that’s up to 15% faster and 40% more power efficient than its predecessor, along with a GPU that’s up to 50% faster and an 8-core neural engine.
This impressive spec boost will help the new devices power a better camera, faster FaceID and a raft of iOS 12 features (which will go live on September 17) including live facial tracking for Animoji, ARkit 2 and Siri Shortcuts.
Both devices feature a dual camera system with a 12-megapixel f/1.8 wide angle lens and a 12-megapixel telephoto lens. A combination of improved optical image stabilisation, smart HDR, new sensors, zero shutter lag and more gives the new iPhone camera more power and versatility.
The most impressive improvement to the camera, however, is the bokeh capabilities. Now, you can adjust the depth of field after taking a photo in Portrait mode using a simple slider from f/1.8 to f/16. We’ll have to wait and see how well it works in practice, but Apple’s demo of the feature is enough to generate plenty of excitement.
Frequent travellers, business owners and other busybodies will be ecstatic to hear both the XS and the XS Max feature dual SIM technology, making it easy to receive calls on two different lines.
The XS and XS Max will be available in silver and space grey as well as a brand-new gold finish, with a choice of 64GB, 256GB and 512GB of internal storage. The device is also rated to IP68 and features more durable glass, which is great news for the clumsy among us.
Apple claims the iPhone XS battery lasts up to 30 minutes longer than the X, while the XS Max allegedly lasts up to 90 minutes longer.
If you’ve been keeping an eye on the rumour mill, you will have no doubt heard the chatter about the potential release of a cheaper third iPhone.
That’s now been confirmed, with Apple announcing the iPhone XR, a (somewhat) more affordable alternative which reminds us of the iPhone 5C from 2013 – albeit more premium and more promising.
The iPhone XR features a 6.1-Inch Liquid Retina LCD display and an aluminium body available in white, black, blue, yellow, coral and (PRODUCT)RED.
Apple seems to have made fewer sacrifices than some may have expected, with the XR boasting an edge-to-edge display, Face ID, A12 bionic chip, TrueDepth camera system and haptic touch, along with the more durable glass featured in the XS and XS Max and an IP67 splash and water-resistant rating.
It sports a single 12-megapixel f/1.8 wide angle lens on the rear, although you might be surprised to learn it still features bokeh effects for portrait photos – a feature previously available only on iPhones with dual-lens cameras.
The XR will ship with 64GB, 128GB and 256GB of internal storage, while Apple claims the battery will last up to 90 minutes longer than the 8 Plus.

They say a 28-year-old man died as a result of the collision on Route 202 around 7 a.m.
"It appeared that one of the cars crossed over the double yellow line, striking one of the other vehicles. You would expect that two cars - even if they were traveling at 30 mph - that's a 60 mph combined speed. The damage is pretty severe," says Lt. Tom Gentner, of the Yorktown police.
Police say the victim was taken to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
The driver of the other vehicle was also injured, but the extent of those injuries is not currently known.
Route 202 was temporarily closed from Pinebrook Court to Lexington Avenue during the investigation.

Jeremy Corbyn is merely stating the obvious. No, of course we would not go to war with Russia. For anything, ever. Although we did intervene after the Revolution in support of what we still regarded as the legitimate government, we have not gone to war with Russia, as such, since 1856. Owen Smith’s suggestion that we would, should or could do so is as naïve as his suggestion that we should have a nice cup of tea and a chat with the Islamic State.
The Conservative Party failed to support those who were holding the line against what is now IS. Indeed, it wanted to bomb them. But it has understandably issued an attack ad against Smith on the subject. Yes, Smith is soft on IS. Corbyn, however, is not. The Soft Left is called that for a reason. As is the Hard Left. That latter is highly unlikely, for its own reasons, to support almost any war that the Anglo-American foreign policy Establishment is ever going to want to wage. Throughout the last 20 years, it has been right about that. But it is not pacifist. Very far from it. Nor is it anything less than clearheaded. Very far from it.
NATO already revolves around Erdogan’s Turkey, while all and sundry are being let in. The next in the queue in the ghastly regime in Olympically corrupt, but strategically irrelevant, Montenegro. With honourable, but very rare, exceptions, the Labour Right is hopeless on these matters. A kind of chest-beating international hawkishness was one of the ways in which it defined itself as a distinct faction or tendency.
In New Labour, that mixed with the anti-Soviet fanaticism of those who had very recently been Trotskyists or Eurocommunists. Those were perhaps the only two factions or tendencies that ever truly believed that the Soviet Union had either the means or the will to invade Western Europe, as we now know for a fact that it did not. Traditional Tories recognised that the USSR was a ramshackle operation waiting to collapse under the weight of its own contradictions.
Although they were also among those who recognised, when it and Yugoslavia disintegrated, that two geopolitical catastrophes had thus occurred, the unpleasant ramifications of which would be felt for generations, even for centuries. Therefore, the heirs of Enoch Powell and Alan Clark ought to know better about NATO today. They have been as right as Corbyn and the Morning Star in the past. They ought to be so again.
NATO membership causes us to give undertakings that we have no intention of honouring, and in reality could not honour even if we wanted to do so. It causes us to give those undertakings to entities that do not deserve them, whether strategically, morally, or both. And it subjects us to a supranational body that presumes to demand two per cent of our Gross Domestic Product. Not only that, but it really only expects a handful of states, including our own, to meet that in practice.
Imagine the reaction of the NATO zealots in Parliament and the Press, or at least of the Tory ones, if it were so much as suggested that the United Kingdom now accede to a body of that kind. They ought to join those of us who demand that that body be dissolved, and that the United Kingdom begin that process by seceding from it unilaterally, unconditionally, and immediately.
Yet what a far less hysterical time the Cold War was. Everyone with any sense knew that it was all lies. People who could not see that, including those who imagined that a threat of domestic revolution existed, were a joke even at the time. But we shall come back to them. The Soviet Union had neither the will nor the means to invade Western Europe, never mind the United States. It had no desire whatever for alternative centres of Communist power. It would in any case collapse under the weight of its own contradictions, exactly as and when it did.
Consider quite what Britain was like in those decades without the world’s coming to an end, or the United Kingdom’s constitutional order collapsing, or either party of government’s adopting Marxism-Leninism, or anything like that. The intelligence services were so riddled with Soviet agents from top to bottom that it was a standing joke even among the general public. Such penetration extended even to the Royal Households. As the exposure of two dead Ministers as Czechoslovak agents has demonstrated, it also extended to the very right-wing elements both of the Labour Party (John Stonehouse) and of the Conservative Party (Ray Mawby).
Professing oneself a Communist was always perfectly respectable at the very highest levels of British society, where it was treated as just another aristocratic eccentricity. Wogan Phillips, second Baron Milford, sat as a Communist in the House of Lords for 31 years until his death in 1993: throughout most of the 1960s, and throughout all of the 1970s and the 1980s. He still called himself a Communist even after the party had dissolved itself in 1991.
Eric Hobsbawm ended up as a Companion of Honour. Neither Tony Benn nor Michael Foot ever did, even though it would have been the obvious gong for both of them. It is notable that, unlike the second Viscount Stansgate, the second Baron Milford never disclaimed his peerage. In point of fact, the latter’s party was a moderating force, especially over and against sections of the Labour Left, which contained people whose views, Trotskyist and otherwise, were far more extreme.
Throughout its history, the Communist Party of Great Britain was avowedly and actively opposed to a violent revolution in this country, holding, as Lenin had done, that its objectives could and should be attained wholly within and through the British constitutional and parliamentary process.
By the 1970s, especially, by no means everyone on the Labour Left took that view. Most still did. But by no means all. And Labour had had a problem with Trotskyist infiltration for as long as there had been Trotskyists at all. The CPGB was full of intelligence agents, but the intelligence agencies were full of Eastern Bloc agents, and so on, and on, and on, and on, and on. We shall never know the extent to which the turning of those wheels within wheels prevented or resolved industrial disputes, precluded those disputes’ escalation, and so forth.
Certainly, the CPGB was capable of highly fruitful co-operation with the trade union and Labour Right, much of which was very Right indeed and had all the British and American connections to match. Compare and contrast the successful partnership between Mick McGahey and Joe Gormley in 1972 and 1974 (against a Conservative Prime Minister loathed by the overlapping worlds of MI5, MI6 and his party’s own right wing) with the failure of McGahey and Arthur Scargill in 1984 and 1985.
The Communist had wanted to hold a national ballot, and had always remained open to compromise. He had wanted to reintegrate the UDM without rancour once, as he correctly predicted, its patrons had discarded it. He always called Scargill “that young man”, and he declined ever to write his memoirs or to authorise a biography, since “differences must remain within the family,” which said it all.
McGahey used to appear on things like Any Questions. He was as respectable as that. His union, with the closest ties of any to his party at home, and with an unmatched internationalist tradition stretching deep into the Soviet Bloc, effectively controlled around 85 per cent of the nation’s energy supply for many decades. It did not strike at all between 1926 and 1972, or between 1974 and 1984, an extremely unusual approach during those periods even for trade unionists with vastly less, quite literal, power.
The NUM was also a huge voting bloc at Labour Party Conferences, joined by the numerous Constituency Labour Parties that it effectively controlled. It sponsored enough MPs to make a significant difference, considering the normal size of Labour Governments’ majorities, if any, historically. For almost the whole of that period, only MPs had a vote in Leadership Elections. Look at the Leaders elected.
Like those on the mainstream Labour Left Tribune, certain staffers on the Morning Star were and are members of the Parliamentary Press Gallery and Lobby, as their Daily Worker predecessors also were. Such membership required and requires full security clearance to go about the Palace of Westminster, and Lobby membership gives access to twice-daily briefings by the Prime Minister’s Official Spokesman. The Daily Worker and then the Morning Star participated in all of that throughout the Cold War, as did Tribune. Did the Realm fall? Well, there you are, then.
Joan Maynard managed to sit not only as a Labour MP but as a member of that party’s National Executive Committee while also, with several other MPs, on the Editorial Advisory Panel of Straight Left, a newspaper and a faction that had been set up because of the feeling that the Communist Party was going soft. In 1979. She served with distinction on the Agriculture Select Committee. Her Straight Left colleague James Lamond was on nothing less than the Public Accounts Committee. For many years, all of them under a Conservative Government and most of them under Margaret Thatcher, he was on the Speaker’s Panel, chairing Standing Committees of the House. Parliament survived.
Pat Wall sat as an MP while probably the single most important Trotskyist thinker in the world at the time. His fellow-Militant Dave Nellist won Spectator Backbencher of the Year. Mildred Gordon was an MP while the widow of a leading American Trotskyist and the wife of Trotsky’s bodyguard, who as her husband presumably held a House of Commons pass.
None of this is to condone any of those positions or factions. But all of it does provide some context. Not least, it provides some context to the most uncritically spook-dependent British Government of all time, which came to power in 1997. That Government was both laden with, and surrounded by, veterans of extreme left-wing organisations. Of course those veterans did whatever the intelligence services told them. They were the intelligence services.
The Marxism Today for which Tony Blair wrote is long gone. He was the only politician at the founding meeting of Demos, the think tank founded by its final Editor. Formally, the Communist Party became the proto-Blairite Democratic Left, which became the ultra-Blairite New Politics Network, which became Unlock Democracy, which is still there, in a building bought thanks to the largesse of Lenin.
Unfortunately, however, the spirit of Jimmy Anderson and Major Harry Truscott remains very much a feature of the present age. The party that the Prime Minister leads contains any number of them. Another party, still complete with a member of a House of Commons, has only such people in it, or even so much as voting for it. There would seem to be no shortage of them even in the Parliamentary Labour Party.
Some of them believe that both the Sino-Soviet Split and the fall of the Soviet Union were faked. Many of them believe that the KGB murdered Hugh Gaitskell in order to install Harold Wilson. All of them believe that Wilson was a Soviet agent. They really, truly, honestly believe these things.
They are convinced that Scargill was trying to stage a Red Revolution on the 1917 model, and that Gormley had more or less done so in 1974. It never occurs to them that the Heath Government, which in any case they profess to despise, was “toppled” by nothing other than the votes of the electorate, four years after that same process had installed that Government.
The theory of the Great Red Peril, including The Enemy Within, continues to be propounded, but tellingly by people who for the most part are not employed by academic institutions. The same was true of that theory at the time. As it also was, and very largely still is, of the economic theories to which Thatcher, who was as illiterate economically as she was historically and geopolitically, was so attached.
Across the full range of her agenda, the intellectual guiding lights hated the Conservative Party, not least when they were nominally members of it. They had no roots in it; nor had she. Not uncommonly, they had Marxist roots instead. The Conservative Party hated them back, which led it to hate her, until eventually it became the only organisation ever to succeed in getting rid of her. She then spent 15 years a joke figure, and just under another decade as one of those extremely old people who are only waiting for the end.
But even during her Premiership, it was not as if there were no ties to the Soviet Bloc. Very soon after Polish miners had been gunned down, the Thatcher Government was importing coal from Poland to order to assist in breaking the Strike.
On the other side of the Sino-Soviet Split, Thatcher fully deserved her designation by Red Star as “The Peking Plotter”. She never saw a Maoist whom she did not like. She installed Robert Mugabe, having refused any other settlement, and she even arranged a knighthood for him. Then there was Nicolae Ceaușescu. Then there was Pol Pot. When Nelson Mandela died, her flame-keepers could be heard criticising him and his for their criticism, in turn, of Steve Biko.
We ought to be governed by people who understand all of this. But we are not. Nor would we be under Owen Smith or any of his supporters. But we will be, when Jeremy Corbyn is Prime Minister.
There is no evidence that Corbyn is in any sense a Marxist, and that is rather the point. There are not 10,000 people in every British Marxist organisation put together. Corbyn’s mentor, Tony Benn, found inspiration in seventeenth century Radical readings of the Bible, and in his own Radical readings of the Bible. Michael Foot looked to the literature of the eighteenth century, when numerous subcultures remained unconvinced of the legitimacy of the new Whig State, and of that State’s capitalism and imperialism. At every point of challenge to that State and ideology, those subcultures have recurred.
Benn’s stock speech contained a potted history of the Peasants’ Revolt, the Levellers, the Diggers, the Chartists, the Suffragettes, and so on. It attracted considerable ridicule, but it made an important point. The Radical traditions of these Islands, and not least of England, traditions to which upper and upper-middle-class figures such as Benn and Foot have always been integral, provided and provide the context in which the tiny Marxist minority can participate. Fear of being overwhelmed is altogether misplaced. Both the Radical and the conservative traditions, closer than is often realised or admitted and each present in all of the main parties, are more than capable of standing their ground.
Gramsci called for a broad social movement towards institutional hegemony, for a celebration of the “national-popular”, and for an organic and self-organising working-class culture that included worker-intellectuals. We, on the other hand, already had those things, most obviously in and as the Labour Movement, including, but not restricted to, the extraparliamentary origins and the federal structure of the Labour Party.
Thus, and thus alone, was the CPGB, which in fact started life as a secession from the Independent Labour Party, able to contribute to the General Strike, to the Hunger Marches, to the Battle of Cable Street, to the formation of the International Brigades (although see below on that one), to the occupation of the London Underground during the Blitz, to the Forces Parliaments, to the Dock Strikes after the War, to the Squatters’ Movement of 1946, to the creation of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe from 1947, to the Clydeside Apprentices’ Strike of 1952, to the foundation of the Notting Hill Carnival, to the work-in at United Clyde Shipbuilders, to the Grunwick dispute, to the three Miners’ Strikes, to the People’s March for Jobs, to the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament, to the Movement for Colonial Freedom, to the Anti-Apartheid Movement, and to the Solidarity Campaigns with Vietnam and Chile.
Thus, and thus alone, was the successor Communist Party of Britain’s Andrew Murray able to preside over the largest demonstration in British history. Does anyone seriously suggest that the CPB, as such, could have brought two million people onto the streets of London, even against the Iraq War, for a rally addressed by the Mayor of London and by several Members of Parliament, including the Leader of the Liberal Democrats and a future Leader of the Official Opposition?
Thus, and thus alone, were British Trotskyists able to find an audience for their guru’s equal opposition to Fascism and to Stalinism (although it was the ILP Contingent that went to fight the former only to be killed by the latter), and then to participate in the movement against the Vietnam War, in the student movement of 1968, in the industrial disputes of the 1970s, in the Anti-Nazi League, in the fully successful campaign against the Poll Tax, in the Stop the War Coalition, and in the anti-austerity movement. Thatcher bitterly regarded the abandonment of the Poll Tax as the British State’s greatest ever concession to the Far Left. Yes, that was organised by Militant. But does anyone seriously believe that Militant could have done it on its own?
Thus, and thus alone, did Ken Livingstone become Mayor of London in 2000. Thus, and thus alone, did George Galloway become MP for Bethnal Green and Bow in 2005, and for Bradford West in 2012; the first candidate to the left of Labour to win an English seat since 1945 is not a Marxist, and his profound religious faith informs the full range of his political positions.
Thus, and thus alone, did Corbyn become Leader of the Labour Party in 2015. By participating in The World Transformed, everyone doing so is acknowledging the point: thus, and thus alone, will Corbyn become Prime Minister in 2020.
A very comprehensive and interesting historical account and analysis. I think the analysis of Labour’s right wing and its service to British imperialism has been a feature in its history. ”The Labour Right is hopeless on these matters. A kind of chest-beating international hawkishness was one of the ways in which it defined itself as a distinct faction or tendency.” But it not just the right wing which was social-imperialist. From the late 19th century onward, reputedly left Firebrands such as Hyndman, Brailsford and Shaw, were unapologetic cheerleaders for the British war in South Africa 1899-1902, the First World War and the surpression of the uprising in Ireland 1916. The tradition continued with the British suppression of nationalist/communist revolutions in India until 1948, and Malaya, Cyprus, Aden, and Kenya until well into the post-WW2 era. Moreover the Labour government saw fit to also intervene in the Greek civil war on the side of the Royalist/collaborationst forces until 1949. NATO ‘socialism’ is a feature of some of the more faux radicals of what is called the progressive left. These are usually found among the ex-Trots now ensconced in centre-left parties like the UK Labour Party and the US democrats, and including even the disgusting German Greens under the tutelage of one Danny ‘the red’ Cohn-Bendit. Home grown cold war ‘leftist’ imperialists include Paul Mason and Owen Smith. In fact it would be true to say that the majority of the PLP supports the NATO/EU agenda vis-a-vis Russia and probably China, without even thinking about it; it is a matter of a dog-whistle conditioned reflex, with little or no understanding of international relations, history or economics.
All of which shows how far the imperialist contamination has penetrated.

We , on the other hand , already had those things , most obviously in and as the Labour Movement , including , but not restricted to , the extraparliamentary origins and the federal structure of the Labour Party .
 Thus , and thus alone , was the CPGB , which in fact started life as a secession from the Independent Labour Party , able to contribute to the General Strike , to the Hunger Marches , to the Battle of Cable Street , to the formation of the International Brigades ( although see below on that one ) , to the occupation of the London Underground during the Blitz , to the Forces Parliaments , to the Dock Strikes after the War , to the Squatters ’ Movement of 1946 , to the creation of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe from 1947 , to the Clydeside Apprentices ’ Strike of 1952 , to the foundation of the Notting Hill Carnival , to the work - in at United Clyde Shipbuilders , to the Grunwick dispute , to the three Miners ’ Strikes , to the People ’s March for Jobs , to the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament , to the Movement for Colonial Freedom , to the Anti - Apartheid Movement , and to the Solidarity Campaigns with Vietnam and Chile .
 Thus , and thus alone , was the successor Communist Party of Britain ’s Andrew Murray able to preside over the largest demonstration in British history . Does anyone seriously suggest that the CPB , as such , could have brought two million people onto the streets of London , even against the Iraq War , for a rally addressed by the Mayor of London and by several Members of Parliament , including the Leader of the Liberal Democrats and a future Leader of the Official Opposition ?
 Thus , and thus alone , were British Trotskyists able to find an audience for their guru ’s equal opposition to Fascism and to Stalinism ( although it was the ILP Contingent that went to fight the former only to be killed by the latter ) , and then to participate in the movement against the Vietnam War , in the student movement of 1968 , in the industrial disputes of the 1970s , in the Anti - Nazi League , in the fully successful campaign against the Poll Tax , in the Stop the War Coalition , and in the anti - austerity movement . Thatcher bitterly regarded the abandonment of the Poll Tax as the British State ’s greatest ever concession to the Far Left . Yes , that was organised by Militant . But does anyone seriously believe that Militant could have done it on its own ?
 Thus , and thus alone , did Ken Livingstone become Mayor of London in 2000 . Thus , and thus alone , did George Galloway become MP for Bethnal Green and Bow in 2005 , and for Bradford West in 2012 ; the first candidate to the left of Labour to win an English seat since 1945 is not a Marxist , and his profound religious faith informs the full range of his political positions .
 Thus , and thus alone , did Corbyn become Leader of the Labour Party in 2015 . By participating in The World Transformed , everyone doing so is acknowledging the point : thus , and thus alone , will Corbyn become Prime Minister in 2020 .
 A very comprehensive and interesting historical account and analysis . I think the analysis of Labour ’s right wing and its service to British imperialism has been a feature in its history . ” The Labour Right is hopeless on these matters . A kind of chest - beating international hawkishness was one of the ways in which it defined itself as a distinct faction or tendency . ” But it not just the right wing which was social - imperialist . From the late 19th century onward , reputedly left Firebrands such as Hyndman , Brailsford and Shaw , were unapologetic cheerleaders for the British war in South Africa 1899 - 1902 , the First World War and the surpression of the uprising in Ireland 1916 . The tradition continued with the British suppression of nationalist / communist revolutions in India until 1948 , and Malaya , Cyprus , Aden , and Kenya until well into the post - WW2 era . Moreover the Labour government saw fit to also intervene in the Greek civil war on the side of the Royalist / collaborationst forces until 1949 . NATO ‘ socialism ’ is a feature of some of the more faux radicals of what is called the progressive left . These are usually found among the ex - Trots now ensconced in centre - left parties like the UK Labour Party and the US democrats , and including even the disgusting German Greens under the tutelage of one Danny ‘ the red ’ Cohn - Bendit . Home grown cold war ‘ leftist ’ imperialists include Paul Mason and Owen Smith . In fact it would be true to say that the majority of the PLP supports the NATO / EU agenda vis - a - vis Russia and probably China , without even thinking about it ; it is a matter of a dog - whistle conditioned reflex , with little or no understanding of international relations , history or economics .
 All of which shows how far the imperialist contamination has penetrated .

This is a simple comparison. Enjoy.
I have always wanted to see a comparison but always forget to shoot with my phone during a shoot. But not this time!!! Phone images are taken by Julia's loving father, David Mays. Julia is my Senior from last night. We shot at the Folk School. LOVE that place. I shot this session with two Nikon D750 DSLR cameras with a 24mm 1.8 lens and a 50mm 1.8 lens. Edits are in Lightroom with LXC 04 C preset with tweeks to fix white balance. All images are shot with camera and sunlight, no flash or reflectors, and the metering mode is set to shoot for the highlights (thank you Sean Carr, Twyla Jones and Brooke Allen for teaching me this.) We did have Julia's father close by to help with laughter and wrapping Julia in her scarf that she made.
Want to talk more about photography? I'd love to!
Want me to be your photographer? I'd love to!
Want to just hang out? I'd love to!
And these are more of my favorites. Just because.

What device are you reading this on? Or, better still, how many devices could you choose from? Probably quite a few.
Connected devices are multiplying, and that’s one of the major challenges every customer-centric team in your business has to deal with every day. More devices means more interactions with a single customer, and more data about those interactions.
The trouble is: everything seems to be connected except your departments. Your Sales and Service teams might work on the same floor, but if they’re working in silos, they might as well be on different planets.
That’s when customer data complexity can turn into chaos – but it doesn’t have to.
Think Amazon isn’t your competitor? Think again. Slick customer experiences raise the bar for everyone: Once consumers get used to a great ecommerce experience, they won’t put up with a sloppy one from their bank.
Faster service – that gives them the outcome they want, first time.
Smarter service – so your reps have the right information in front of them.
Connected experience – that pulls all relevant data from all channels, even before your service agent picks up the phone.
Service anytime, anywhere – whenever the customer needs it, however they want it.
So how do you give your reps – in Sales and in Service – the power to deliver on these expectations?
It’s not an easy ask, especially when you factor in the fact that 70% of companies have not tied their Sales and Service efforts together.
But it’s worth the effort: we’ve all heard the statistic that says 80% of your sales come from 20% of your existing customers, but did you know that repeat customers spend 30% more than new customers? And that people are 86% more likely to buy from you again if they had a positive customer experience?
What does connected sales and service look like in the real-world?
When you connect Sales and Service, you can do three things really well.
Get personal. With a single, 360-degree view of the customer, you can engage them across any channel they choose to use, with the right message or action at the right time.
Enjoy the 360-degree view. Take the blinkers off your Sales and Service people and the benefits are mutual. Your salespeople can sell better when they know what’s going on with a customer’s case history, service reps can identify cross- and up-sell opportunities and identify VIP customers, and managers can view the health of the business across both realms.
At Salesforce World Tour London 2017, we heard from brands like Coca-Cola, who are developing a new generation of sales and service professionals without a wall separating their departments. Both sides (though we shouldn’t call them sides any more) are trained to slip seamlessly from service queries to sales opportunities and vice versa.
We’re big fans of the work the Hive brand have been doing with the help of the Salesforce platform to create a single, coherent journey for their connected home customers – from purchase to installation, and on to service and beyond.
You can learn more about the story here, but read on to hear from two of the people making it all work. Neil Procter, Global Head of Customer Systems, and Terence Sorrell, Business Solutions Manager at Centrica Connected Home, talked to us about Hive’s connected customer journeys.
The Hive products that make up Centrica Connected Home were conceived to help consumers take control of their home environment easily, making everything from their thermostat to their lighting flexible, smart and, most importantly, connected.
“And when we’re talking to a British Gas customer, for example, Salesforce helps us to automate the co-branding of all our content when we need to,” Terence added.

After a tumultuous life that included tragedy, betrayal, and corrosive guilt (told in flashbacks), Muriel finally finds love and happiness, only to be stricken with breast cancer. It appears that she has won that battle when life turns brutal again with the wrenching loss of her soul mate and, soon afterwards, another cancer diagnosis—this time of metastasis to her bones. She was given just six months to live. Unremitting pain, both physical and psychological, sends her to the depth of despair, where she seeks to end her life.
Instead, Muriel embarks on a courageous quest for health that includes not only her body, but also her psyche and spirit. She discovers that all aspects of her being are woven into one tapestry—you cannot permanently heal one part without the others. In the midst of this journey she has her third bout with cancer. This time she has the understanding and tools to walk away from conventional treatment and practice gentle approaches to becoming and staying well. Ultimately, she is led to the joy and serenity that abide in the deep recesses of her soul—her Invincible Summer.
Muriel Vasconcellos is a translator by profession. She has a Ph.D. in linguistics from Georgetown University, where she also taught translation for 14 years. As a freelance translator, she has clients throughout the world, including several international organizations. She lives in San Diego with her Malt-Tzu pups, Sunshine and Snow.

When making HTTP requests for pages over the Internet, a browser sends a number of information header lines to the webserver which will serve that request. Those HTTP information headers do not only contain information about the page that has to be retrieved, but also contain configuration and system information of the browser and of the computer the browser is running on. This information can be used by the webserver to serve the best matching content to the client.
Most Internet users—and also many website builders—are not aware of this extra set of information which accompagnies every request. Proper use of these HTTP headers by webservers can however improve the user experience significantly by matching the response as close as possible to the user and browser preferences. One example is serving webpages in the primary language of the browser. Another example is serving light weight pages when a mobile device is connecting, or send images in the format best processed by that particular browser or output device.
Browsers send a variety of HTTP headers. This list contains the most common HTTP headers you will see coming from regular browsers and bots like the crawlers from the major search engines.
Accept This HTTP header contains the MIME types which are accepted by the browser. This can be a list of specific MIME types, but the list may also contains wildcards. The entries in the list are separated by commas. Priority values can be assigned to each MIME type by adding a semicolon followed by a q=val parameter. The priority value val ranges from 0.0 to 1.0 where higher values represent higher priority. In this way the browser can request specific content types, for example JPG files over PNG files if both are available on the server.
Accept-Language The browser sends preferred language information in this HTTP header. The content of the HTTP header is a list of one of more languages. Each language is represented by a two character code like en for English, or a five character code like en-US for American English if a subset of a specific language is requested. Entries in the list are separated by commas. A priority value can be assigned with each language by adding a semicolon followed by a q=val setting. The priority value val may range from 0.0 to 1.0, where 1.0 is the highest priority and 0.0 the lowest.
then a fifth way will promptly develop.
