Panel: Black Politics and the American Left: Platypus 2016 convention
Black Politics and the American Left
held on Saturday April 2, 2016
Christoph Lichtenberg (IBT)
Xavier Danae Maatra (Chicago Freedom School)
Beneath a consensus of avowed anti-racism, the American Left remains conflicted about whether and how to politicize race. This panel seeks to shed historical light on today's political impasses, asking: How has racism changed throughout U.S. history, and to what degree has racism been overcome in America? Our neoliberal and post-political present has been shaped by key periods of political conflict over race and racism, from the failure of the post-Civil War Reconstruction era through the entrenchment of Jim Crow through the abolition of legal racial segregation with the Civil Rights Movement. If we have overcome the forms of legalized racism that plagued American society before the 1960s, this victory has nevertheless failed to translate into the meaningful improvement of living conditions for the vast majority of black people in America. Instead, the general downturn since the early 1970s has been managed in a way that has worsened conditions for most black people in the context of a broader stratification and brutalization of American society. This situation demands a strident refutation of the pseudo-problem of "class versus race"; we ask today's left to consider the implications of Adolph Reed's formulation that "racism is a class issue." With a view to how a politics of freedom would approach race and racism, what lessons can be drawn from the most significant periods in the history of the American Left, such as the populist movement, the pre-WWI Socialist Party, the 1920s-30s Communist Party, and the 1960s-70s New Left? If the problem of racism has been bypassed but not overcome, leaving in place the structural conditions that have shaped racism historically, how might we recognize these structural conditions and thereby render race and racism politically tractable?

IBT Nomination & Election Notices
The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen (BLET) is a Division of the Rail Conference of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters (IBT). The BLET is the senior national labor organization in the United States and also North America's oldest rail labor union. The BLET is marking its 150th anniversary in 2013 and was founded in Marshall, Mich. on May 8, 1863, as the Brotherhood of the Footboard; a year later, its name was changed to The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers. The BLE merged with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters and became the BLET on January 1, 2004.
The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen exists to promote and protect the rights, interests, and safety of its members through solidarity, aggressive representation, and education.
Bylaws of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen, 2010
The BLET represents Locomotive Engineers, Conductors, Brakemen, Firemen, Switchmen, Hostlers and other Train Service Employees on numerous railroads in the United States. The BLET's total membership is more than 55,000 and growing. Since Jan. 1, 1992, Locomotive Engineers must be trained and tested to be federally certified and licensed to operate trains.
The BLET is the founding member of the Rail Conference of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters.
Local units of the BLET are known as Divisions. Each Division elects five primary local officers — President, Vice President, Local Chairman, Secretary-Treasurer and Legislative Representative — each serving three-year terms. The BLET is comprised of more than 500 Divisions.
All the Local Chairmen on a particular railroad constitute the BLET General Committee of Adjustment on that system; this General Committee is autonomous and responsible for negotiating, making, interpreting and enforcing contracts between engineers and their railroad. Larger railroad systems may have more than one General Committee and General Chairman.
All the Legislative Representatives for Divisions within a state comprise the State Legislative Board. These Legislative Boards are responsible for educating legislators, policy makers and the public about the impacts of regulations and laws on transportation and public safety.
At the National Division, officers include the President, First Vice-President, National Secretary-Treasurer and eight Vice Presidents, who assist and offer resources to General Committees, State Legislative Boards and Local Divisions. National Division officers are elected to four-year terms.
One Vice President serves as the BLET's National Legislative Representative, administering the BLET's National Legislative Office on behalf of the National Legislative Board. Located in Washington D.C., the National Legislative Office also handles the federal legislative, regulatory and political activities of the BLET and coordinates the efforts of its various State Legislative Boards.
The BLET is governed by its Bylaws, which are set by delegates in session at convention once every four years. Convention delegates are elected by local BLET Division members. National Division officers are elected once every four years by a majority vote of all active members.

The Formosan Termite
PrintShare
Let's Talk About Termites
Photo: Screenshot from Thomas Chouvenc's YouTube channel.
The Formosan termite (Coptotermes formosanus) is also called a super-termite. Similar to other harmful termite species, it gnaws and penetrates both living and dead wood, but it is also capable of gnawing through resistant human products, such as plastic, narrow cracks in concrete, and certain metal coatings. It gained the title 'super-termite' mainly due to the enormous colonies it establishes (in some cases up to about 10 million individuals), its rapid growth rate, and its ability to search for and locate food at a distance of tens of meters from the nest. So what's the deal with these termites? And what should we do if we encounter them?
There are more than 3,000 species of termites throughout the world, 12 of which live in Israel. Termites can be found on all continents except Antarctica, but they live mainly in tropical and subtropical regions. Termites are social insects, but their origins are far from those of other social insects we're familiar with, such as ants and bees. In fact, they are close in origin to cockroaches and belong to the same group as them – Order Blattodea. They live in what is termed a 'super-organism' – a life form in which the individuals do not act for their own benefit, but rather for the benefit of the group.
A termite nest can include from just a few to millions of individuals. Termite colonies contain different castes that are distinguished by their appearance and role. Every nest has a queen (one or more) whose life expectancy can reach decades; she is the only one to reproduce. Beside the queen is a king, or a few kings, that remain in the nest permanently and continue to fertilize the queen at fixed intervals. The largest caste in terms of numbers is the worker caste. In contrast to ants, the worker termites can be both females and males. The workers build and maintain the colony, collect food, and feed and care for the young and the royal couple. Alongside the workers is the soldier caste (males only, females only, or both, depending on the termite species), whose activity is expressed only when there is a need to protect the colony. In contrast to the workers, which have a relatively delicate appearance, the soldiers in most species of termites have large, powerful jaws. They often integrate chemical substances in their warfare; some types of soldiers have small jaws and their main field of expertise is to spray sticky, stinging substances. The soldiers cannot eat by themselves and require the assistance of the workers who feed them. Every year, a large number of winged individuals – princes and princesses – set out from the large, stable colonies to perform their mating flight. Only a few will manage to establish themselves as a new king and queen and set up a new colony. Initially, the female lays a small number of eggs, but as the colony grows and develops she becomes a 'sophisticated egg-laying machine' that is capable of laying up to 1,000 or more eggs per day.
Termites build a great diversity of nests. Some species build large, sophisticated mounds out of the soil with a wide and impressive range of architectural forms. Others build spherical nests on trees or are found inside dead logs or in the soil. The main source of food for termites is cellulose in its different forms –most species feed on trees and dead plants. Their stomach contains symbiotic microorganisms that help them break down the cellulose; thus, termites play an important role in the cycling of organic matter in nature. When the source of cellulose is human property, such as construction planks, doorframes, pergolas, wooden floors, wooden furniture, and paper products, a conflict inevitably arises between us and the termites.

How can we identify the super-termite? And what should we do?
Termite identification is done by professionals. The entomological staff of the National Collections and the members of the Entomology Lab for Applied Ecology at the Steinhardt Museum of Natural History work in collaboration with the Ministry for Environmental Protection to locate sites of invasion of the Formosan termite. We really need your help with this: you are invited to help by reporting any suspicion of termites, together with photos, if available (the email address of the Pest and Pest Control Division of the Ministry for Environmental Protection: pestcontrol@sviva.gov.il)
It is difficult to distinguish between the workers of the Formosan termite and those of other termite species, but the soldiers and the reproductive individuals – the king and queen – are easier to identify: the soldiers have orange-brown elliptical heads that are different to the more oblong heads of most termite species. Moreover, they have a noticeable indentation at the front of their heads, from which they often secrete a sticky white fluid when they are attacked. At the front of their heads, the soldiers also have sickle-shaped, black pincers that they often hold in an X-formation. Their whitish-yellow body is about 6 mm in length. The winged individuals that set out on the mating flight have a yellow-brown body and brown-honey-colored head. They have a pair of black eyes and two different-sized pairs of wings, and their body is 12–15 mm long from head to wingtip. The wings are transparent, except for two wide veins covered in short hairs, which run along the edge of the front wing; they are seen easily under magnification and serve as a clear identifying feature.

In part one of this series of articles on cholesterol awareness we learned some of the important facts that we need to know about cholesterol and how it can affect our health. In part two we're going to learn about some healthy foods to add to the diet which can help to reduce cholesterol and support better overall health.
Before we begin with a list of delicious, and good for you foods, let's start by remember that if a label says the product is low-fat or fat-free this often means it's been adulterated with chemicals that are probably not good for your health. Rather than looking for a processed food solution, use real foods which are delicious as well as nutritious.
Omega 3 fatty acids – these are excellent for heart health. Unfortunately our modern diet tends to be very high in omega 6s and does not include nearly enough omega 3 fatty acids. Found in cold water fatty fish such as salmon, tuna, and sardines, omega 3s can also be found in walnuts and flax seeds. Try to have at least one serving per day.
Fiber – adding fiber to your diet is a great idea not only for cardiac health, but also for gut health. Helping to form bulk for your stools it also provides pre-biotics, the food that the probiotics in your gut need to live. Found in foods such as buckwheat, barley, Voatmeal (old fashioned rolled oats, oat groats, or steel cut, NOT instant), oat bran, and beans, this is a delicious way to support your health. Three to four servings per day (not hard to do, a serving of beans is only 1/2 a cup cooked) is a great addition to your nutritional plan. Note: if you're not used to eating fiber start slow as too much can cause intestinal distress.
Olive oil – a delicious way to cook, dress salads, or create a dipping sauce, olive oil is a heart healthy food that you want to make sure is part of your pantry. Be sure to choose extra virgin, cold pressed olive oil as many "light" olive oils are highly processed and don't have the same heart healthy benefits.
Vegetables – sadly these days most people thing that salad counts as a vegetable. But what they're really eating is nutritionally deficient iceberg lettuce with a few pieces of other vegetables, croutons, candy coated nuts or dried fruit, and drowned in chemically laden, high calorie dressing. If you're going to have some vegetables why not have a real vegetable packed with nutrients. Colorful, tasty, and heart healthy choices include avocados (high in monounsaturated fats), broccoli, cauliflower, and Brussels sprouts(high in fiber and phytonutrients), tomatoes (lycopene is great for reducing LDL), and sweet potatoes (high in beta-carotene and fiber). Five or more servings per day.
Polyphenols – found in a number of delicious foods this category of antioxidants is highly supportive of heart health and a very delicious way to support lowering your cholesterol. Green tea, red wine, grape juice, and cocoa products (such as dark chocolate or cocoa powder) are all high in polyphenols. Obviously due to caffeine and/or sugars these need to be eaten in moderation.
Want to check the numbers you need to know for heart health? I can help with that, contact me for more information.
Stay tuned for some heart healthy recipes.
Baking is wonderful and something I love to do. Even more fun is to bake with kids. They're so excited and fascinated by the process. Learning their way around the ingredients, how to measure, the wet and dry combining process; it's a fun edible science and math experiment in the kitchen.
This is one of my baking buddies, Miss A. She came over the other day with her brother, Mr. C. I had promised them that the next time they came over we would make cookies so that was our plan.
As it turns out Mr. C's idea of making cookies was to allow his sister and I to do all the baking while he played the part of Official Cookie Tester. And, might I add, he was rather impatient for those cookies to be done.
Miss A and I got down to business, put on our aprons and got out my "Famous Chocolate Chip Oaties" recipe. Mr. C. wanted to know why they were famous, had they been on t.v.? Did someone famous invent them? I told him that it was a recipe I had created and I simply call them Famous because everyone who eats them really likes them and wants more. Needless to say he was less than impressed and informed me that unless they've been on t.v. they can't be famous. Maybe I should send a box to Ellen?
"But I want to taste everything." she said.
So I let her taste it.
"Want some chocolate chips to wash that down?" I asked.
We wound up making two batches of cookies the regular variety and the peanut butter variety. The recipe is below and we're sure you're going to enjoy it, just like we did.
We love pancakes in our house. They are a great, easy to make, healthy, whole grain breakfast. Throw in some fresh fruit and maybe a little homemade Greek yogurt and it's the perfect meal to start your day…filling, nutritious, blood-sugar balancing, and, most importantly, delicious.
I love it when I find a recipe that is so perfect it doesn't need anything else. This recipe is one of them. From my King Arthur Flour Whole Grain Baking book it's a recipe that is a consistent favorite. I love the fact that it's made from whole grains. Although I make my own oat flour by grinding oat groats you can easily make it at home by placing old fashioned oats in the food processor or blender and blending it until it reaches a fine consistency. If that's more than you are willing to do you can also just buy it, both Arrowhead Mills and Bob's Red Mill sell oat flour or you can get certified gluten-free oat flour from Legacy Valley or Cream Hill Estates.
As a quick side note, oats do not have gluten in them. However they tend to be grown near, stored with or transported with other glutinous grains, most specifically wheat. Certified producers grow and process only oats, guaranteeing that there is no cross-contamination.
One of the things that my family likes so much about this recipe is that it is very fluffy. You don't realize that these are whole grain oat pancakes they are that light and airy. The bananas combined with the cinnamon and nutmeg make it a delicious way to start your day. I also like having another great recipe that allows me to use up any almost over-ripe bananas.
Stir together the mashed bananas, butter, lemon juice and sugar in a medium bowl.
Whisk together the oat flour, baking soda, salt and spices in a small bowl.
Form a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients.
Stir the batter just until the dry ingredients are thoroughly moistened.
Let the batter sit 10 minutes before using.
Heat a nonstick griddle or heavy skillet.
If your surface is not non-stick brush it lightly with vegetable oil.
When the surface is ready spoon batter 1/4 C. at a time into the pan.
Let the pancakes cook on the first side until bubbles begin to for around the edges, 3-4 minutes.
When the pancakes are just beginning to set flip then and let them cook on the second side, about 1 1/2 minutes more.
KA suggests you can sprinkle toasted walnuts over the batter just before cooking as an extra treat.
Today we have a special treat as my friend Christine shares her chocolate granola recipe. I've always loved granola because it's a quick healthy breakfast, a great snack; it's also quick and easy to make. One of the other great things about granola is how it can be changed around to suit individual tastes. The idea of making it in a crockpot, is a big "wow" because it doesn't get any easier than that.
With the addition of ground flax and coconut oil this recipe provides some great fatty acids (flax seeds have omega-3 while coconut oil has medium-chain fatty acids). These healthy fats help provide saiety, or fullness, which means it helps fill you up. Dark chocolate and cocoa provide antioxidants, especially epicatechin (found also in green tea) which protect against cardiovascular disease.
Here's Christine's recipe, as she says it's a big hit with her family, I'm sure it will be for yours as well.
Mix well and heat on low all day, stir once in while.
It's another cold, wet, grey day here in Texas. A perfect day for breakfast pudding. It's my newest recipe created because I was looking for a different way to make oatmeal. While I love a hearty bowl of oatmeal or an oatmeal smoothie or homemade granola sometimes you want something a little different.
I decided that I would make something along the lines of a baked rice pudding but use oatmeal as the base grain instead of cooked rice. It came out delicious and is our new winter favorite. Although it takes 45 minutes to bake the leftovers are delicious (I actually preferred this on the second day). It makes 6 generous servings so it's perfect for a brunch or weekend breakfast with leftovers for during the week.
Having leftover fresh ground flour from the ricotta pancakes I decided to make some scones. Scones are great. Not as dense as muffins, the right size for a snack and, like muffins, very pliable to modification. Rummaging around the pantry and fridge revealed some strawberry yogurt and the last little bit of shredded coconut so strawberry-colada became the flavor of the day. Unfortunately I did not have any fresh or dried strawberries which I think would have made these scones even better; the currants worked well but the scones were a little light in the strawberry flavor. In the future I'll make sure to have strawberries available the next time I want to bake these.
In the past when I have made scone recipes using fresh ground flour I find that sometimes they are more dense than I'd like. Wanting to make sure these were light more fluffy I separated the egg. If you are using a whole grain flour you may want to do the same.
Cooking and baking is always an adventure. Inspiration is all around you if you are open to it. There's no real explanation for why or how ideas come together but I can honestly say that frequently it's a matter of "oh gosh there's X in the fridge and I better use it up." Then I make something using that ingredient. Most of the time I make tried and true recipes, either my own or those from trusted cookbooks. Sometimes the inspiration is something I ate elsewhere that I really liked and have been given the recipe. Other times the recipes find me but I somehow can't help playing with them a little bit.
Such is the case with today's breakfast. The inspiration was a click-through twitter post that brought me to Almost Bourdain's (AB's) blog, which I just discovered and like a lot. He credits his inspiration for this recipe to Bill Granger, I credit my inspiration to him. It's kind of neat how that works, we're all connected by this idea of ricotta in pancakes but we each put a slightly different twist to it; all of them, I'm sure, very delicious.
My changes came about because I am trying to work more with gluten free recipes lately. These are for a few people I know who are faced with gluten sensitivity. It's also, as always, inspired by what I have on hand. AB's version calls for bananas and honeycomb. I didn't have enough bananas but did have plums. Didn't have any honeycomb either (and I miss my friends from CT who used to supply me with it) but I did have honey. Together with some breakfast sausage this made a great meal and is definitely on the repeat again list. I hope you like it too.
Honestly these were fabulous. I would even consider serving them as a dessert by making the pancakes smaller and putting a dollop of creme fraiche on top with a dusting of cinnamon.
My friend Tracy recently wrote in and asked what to do with the leftover steel cut oats she has. Her family doesn't really like eating oatmeal for breakfast in the summer and she'd like to use up the oats rather than leaving them to sit until next winter.
Steel cut oats are very coarsely chopped oat groats. They cook up hearty and nutty, are tasty and have a lot of fiber making them a great choice for those who eat oats. They can also be used for so much more than just oatmeal. I have used them in chocolate chip "oatmeal" cookies when I was out of oatmeal. I just substituted an equal amount of steel cut oats for the oatmeal. The substitution does change the baking time a little so you need to watch them a more closely.
Another good use for steel cut oats is to grind them in a food processor or coffee grinder to get an oat flour which can then be used in a lot of different recipes. Oat flour tends to be lighter than wheat flour and has no gluten so it won't rise well. This flour however is excellent for making cookies, biscotti, scones, muffins, and quick breads.
My favorite use by far is to create steel cut oat pudding. I was introduced to this by a friend from England and it is a truly yummy dessert. It's fabulous all by itself and absolutely wonderful when served with vanilla ice cream.
Toast the oatmeal in a pan until lightly browned.
Can be served warm, room temperature or cold.
Option: Sometimes I vary this by substituting apple pie spice for the cinnamon and chopped dried apple for the raisins. Delicious!

Deposits and withdrawals of eToro are fast and there is a wide choice of payment methods available. Traders can deposit money into their account using all major credit cards.
The spread is fixed, unlike the majority of brokers of the market, and the rates are slightly higher than the competition.
eToro is one of the most reliable brokers in the market and no wonder it was one of the first to offer everyone the opportunity to trade on the experience of professional traders. On eToro there is an entire section on 'copytrading'.
With eToro, you can earn automatically thanks to social trading. It allows investors to connect directly with more than 5 million company traders in more than 170 countries. This, however, requires efforts because you have to understand how the market moves and what are the best traders to copy.

In addition, traders who provide signals for others receive extra fees in addition to the normal profits from trading.
eToro has not adapted its platform for trading with the smartphone, but it created a brand new one compatible with all mobile devices and fully functional even on smaller screens (free app available for both Android and iOS).
You can read various opinions and testimonies about eToro. There are reviews that date back to 2012, but also 2016, reflecting the fact that this forex broker exists for a very long time, which is already a good thing.
You can find different opinions about eToro, including of course the negative ones, which never fail. However, we notice that users that trade on eToro platform using 'openbook' and 'copytrading' services have positive opinions and we suggest you to read them.


I'm a big fan of Boyds gunstocks because they're made well, are reasonably priced and usually drop right in. I'm also a recent fan of Savage's Model A17 .17 HMR semi-auto rimfire. "Our friends at Savage hit a homerun with the A17," said Dustin Knutson, General Manager at Boyds.
My only complaint about the A17 is it's stock, and I'm apparently not alone considering that Boyds is offering replacement laminated stocks for this all-new model rifle. Boyds utilizes a Product Request Form on its website as a guide for constantly adding new products to its product line and there was enough demand for the new A17 stock to put many variations into production.
Configurations include Boyds' Classic, Featherweight Thumbhole, Heritage, Platinum, Prairie Hunter, Pro Varmint and Varmint Thumbhole designs. Laminate wood color options including Sage, Prairie Wind, Ripple Timber, Ripple Forest Camo, Ripple Blaze, Ripple Royal Jacaranda, Ripple Sky and Ripple Zombie. Boyds has recently released several new laser panel options also, including scale and basket weave textures.


New York (TADIAS) – In a new book entitled Prevail: The Inspiring Story of Ethiopia's Victory over Mussolini's Invasion, Jeff Pearce, a journalist based in Toronto, focuses on rarely told and fascinating personal stories from the war, each of which is worthy of a big screen movie. Take, for starters, the account of Ambassador Imru Zelleke, 90, who now resides in the U.S. and whom the author interviews extensively about his experiences witnessing the first horrible incidents of Yekatit 12, the Graziani Massacre, and then was taken to an Italian concentration camp the next day. Imru's narrative is paralleled with other Ethiopian heroes including General Jagama Kello; Ethiopian activist Dr. Melaku Beyan who led and forged close relations between African Americans and Ethiopians as part of his awareness and fundraising campaign in the 1930′s in the United States; and African American fighter pilot Colonel John Robinson (the Brown Condor) from Chicago who volunteered his services and commandeered Ethiopia's only plane for the duration of the conflict. And, of course, the role of Emperor Haile Selassie, whom the author observes is held in high esteem today by foreigners, ironically, than his own people.
Pearce also relies on other noted scholars of Ethiopian history including Richard Pankhurst and William Scott who gave him access to their research. "This book is indebted to them and so many other historians," Pearce said.
You can purchase the book at Barnes & Noble or at Amazon.com.

Home » News » UFC 262 picks for Oliveira vs. Chandler
On Saturday, May 15, the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas will host UFC 262 and MMA fans across the world can't wait for the big event to arrive. There will be several big showdowns, including the one between Charles Oliveira and Michael Chandler. In this piece, we have our UFC 262 picks for Oliveira vs. Chandler and so much more. Read on to find out who we like.

— UFC (@ufc) May 1, 2021
Charles Oliveira is a slight favorite to beat Michael Chandler
The main event in this bad boy is obvious and Charles Oliveira is a slight favorite to beat Michael Chandler. Should that happen, it'd obviously be a massive victory for Oliveira, as he continues to make noise in the lightweight division. Entering UFC 262, Oliveira has a record of 30-8-0. He may not be the biggest guy in the world, but he punches with power, no doubt.
Leading into UFC 262, Oliveira indeed is the favorite, as he holds -130 UFC odds to take down Chandler. Meanwhile for Chandler, he's been given even odds via the Las Vegas sportsbooks to win this one. From our chair, this is really going to be a pretty darn close fight. So, who will win?
UFC 262 odds
Oliveria to win -130 -130 -130 -130
Chandler to win Even Even Even Even
Ferguson to win +115 +115 +115 +115
Dariush to win -145 -145 -145 -145
Call it an upset, but we think that Chandler will be able to get the job done. For his career, Chandler is 22-5-0, with his last victory coming at UFC 257. In that matchup, he went head to head with Dan Hooker and was able to take him down via an impressive TKO. That knockout came in the first round of that fight, only making things that more exciting for Chandler.
Oliveira won't go down without a brawl, though, and he'll be ready to do whatever is needed to record another impressive win. While he's the favorite and it most definitely wouldn't be a shocker if he ended up winning this one, we're going with Chandler as our pick.

Will Tony Ferguson be able to defeat Beneil Dariush?
A big question leading up to UFC 262 is will Tony Ferguson be able to defeat Beneil Dariush? This is listed as the co-main event and it's sure to be one of the best fights of the night. Whenever Ferguson enters the octagon, an entertaining matchup ensues. There could be plenty of blood spilled in his fight with Dariush, which the fans would no question love to see.
Ferguson will have a chip on his shoulder entering this fight, as he's been listed as the underdog. For UFC 262, Ferguson holds +115 odds, while Dariush is the favorite at -145. This sure feels interesting, but you can't blame Dariush for this. He's been sensational in his fights as well and is expected to come out with plenty of fire and passion as well.
At UFC Fight Night in early February, Dariush was able to take down Carlos Diego Ferreira via a decision. With that victory, it improved his record to 20-4-1. Now, he'll look to capture the 21st win of his UFC career when he squares up against Ferguson.
Ferguson is 26-5-0, with his last fight coming at UFC 256 against Charles Oliveira. Ferguson lost that fight via a decision. He lost his previous fight to Justin Gaethje as well. While this one should be close, our pick is to go against Ferguson and rock with Dariush. He'll prove to be too much for Ferguson to handle.
Dariushto beat Tony Ferguson
Nate Diaz UFC return has been pushed back
Unfortunately for fans out there, the Nate Diaz UFC return has been pushed back and he'll no longer be ready to go for UFC 262. He was originally scheduled to fight in Houston later this month, but UFC announced that Diaz will fight in UFC 263 instead.
Diaz, who is ready to make a loud return to the octagon, has been dealing with a minor injury. There was plenty of concern that he may not be fully fit for UFC 262, which is why the tough decision was made to delay things. However, this will only add to the strong anticipation for fans.
Diaz hasn't been in a UFC fight since November of 2019 when he went up against Jorge Masvidal at UFC 244. That one ended in dramatic fashion, as it was determined that his eye was too injured for him to continue. Diaz was understandably upset and so was Masvidal, as they wanted to put on a show for everyone on hand.
Diaz is best known for his fights going up against Conor McGregor, but he's pure entertainment whenever he's in action. Although it would have been great to see him go to war at UFC 262, you better believe he'll be motivated to do even more damage in June when UFC 263 arrives.

Hospital set for £80m saving with decentralised energy
3 September 2014, source edie newsroom
One of the UK's largest NHS hospitals is set to save more than £80m over the next 25 years with the opening of a new decentralised energy centre.
Addenbrooke's is a world-renowned teaching hospital with strong connections to the University of Cambridge
Addenbrook's in Cambridge is working with energy consultants Utilyx to install the centre, which will help the renowned teaching hospital meet its sustainability targets by providing high efficiency and low carbon heating, hot water and electricity.
Utilyx's managing director of asset management Mark Stokes said: "Businesses today face disruptive forces and economic uncertainties with regards to future energy prices, security of supply and policy.
"Working with our partner Trucost, we have demonstrated that decentralised energy generation of heat and power is both an economically efficient and practical solution to the UK's energy problem and has the potential to have a significant impact on decarbonising the UK's electricity system as well as creating competitive advantage."
Utilyx commissioned Trucost to carry out research to calculate the comparative environmental profit and loss over the 25 operational years of the hospital's energy centre. The research took into account areas such as reduced carbon emissions, water consumption, air pollution and use of landfill sites to come up with a total net positive impact to the environment, monitored and verified against an external benchmark.
These costs were weighted against the UK's energy mix - which is predominantly coal-focused - in order to accurately measure the environmental benefits of decentralised energy.
The gross environmental savings to the hospital were calculated at £80m, including £55m saved in smaller greenhouse gas emissions and £9m from reduced air pollution.
Other savings are estimated to come from avoiding the use of landfill sites, which emit methane, and reduced water consumption during the generation of electricity and heat.
Trucost's head of research Steven Bullock said: "Environmental profit and loss accounting identifies investments that will most effectively contribute to critical environmental objectives by evidencing the net environmental benefits of more efficient products in business case decision-making."
The energy centre at Addenbrooke's NHS hospital in Cambridge will be fully operational by 2016.

The feedback coefficient is given by the equation fb == 0.001 ** (delay / decay.abs) * decay.sign where 0.001 is -60 dBFS.
The maximum delay time in seconds. Used to initialize the delay buffer size.
Time for the echoes to decay by 60 decibels. If this time is negative then the feedback coefficient will be negative, thus emphasizing only odd harmonics at an octave lower.
Large decay times are sensitive to DC bias, so use a LeakDC if this is an issue.
Infinite decay times are permitted. A decay time of inf leads to a feedback coefficient of 1, and a decay time of -inf leads to a feedback coefficient of -1.

"Snow White and the Huntsman's" Kristen Stewart (pictured) and "Magic Mike's" Tatum are sitting atop this new, mercurial A-list -- at least for now.
Universal Studios Home Entertainment's Snow White and the Huntsman remained the top-selling disc the week ending Sept. 23, while Paramount topped the Blu-ray Disc sales chart with the new-to-Blu-ray Indiana Jones collection.

Snow White held off four other new releases: the Lionsgate horror comedy The Cabin in the Woods, which rode its $42 million box office gross to a No. 2 debut on the Nielsen VideoScan First Alert sales chart; Walt Disney's Beverly Hills Chihuahua 3: Viva La Fiesta!, the second direct-to-video sequel to the 2008 talking dog comedy (No. 3), 20th Century Fox's The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, a comedy that earned just over $46 million in U.S. theaters (No. 4), and the Indiana Jones collection, which bowed at No. 5 on First Alert, which tracks overall disc sales. Lionsgate's The Hunger Games slipped to No. 6 from No. 5 the prior week in its sixth week in stores.
On Nielsen's dedicated Blu-ray Disc sales chart, Indiana Jones was followed in the No. 2 spot by Cabin in the Woods, which generated 54% of its total unit sales from Blu-ray Disc. Snow White slipped to No. 3 from No. 1 the prior week, while Paramount's Titanic slid to No. 4 from No. 2. Beverly Hills Chihuahua 3 debuted at No. 5, even though just 22% of its unit sales came from Blu-ray.

On Home Media Magazine's rental chart, Lionsgate snagged the No. 1 spot with Cabin in the Woods, bumping What to Expect When You're Expecting, also from Lionsgate, to No. 2. Lionsgate also nailed down the next two chart positions, with Safe at No. 3 and The Hunger Games at No. 4. Katy Perry: Part of Me, a new concert video from Paramount, debuted at No. 5.

Q: Trying to break the text in 2 line with React I'm trying to break the text in 2 lines with React using \n but it's not working
This is my text
para: "Complete tasks faster than ever before. With our platform, it only takes minutes.",
and I wanted to be like this :
para: "Complete tasks faster than ever before.
With our platform, it only takes minutes.",
but using \n is not working, any other solution?

A: If you want "\n" to work you need to add css property style={{whiteSpace: "pre-line"}}
function ReactApp(){
     const text = "Complete tasks faster than ever before.\n With our platform, it only takes minutes."
     return (

{text}

     )
}

A: You can add the
 html tag if it's possible

A: I suggest solving this using styling, not content-driven. If you reduce the width of your div element, the text will break by default.

A: Split them up into separate
 tags, or put a
 tag in between the,.

A: The best approach would be to put the text into separate containers (e.g divs).
Eventually, you can try to use the white-space: pre-line property.
e.g
.break-line {
   white-space: pre-line;
}

and then in render do such:
render() {
   return
Complete tasks faster than ever before. \n With our platform, it only takes minutes

}

it should do the job. In case of any questions don't hesitate to ask! You can read more about the white-space property here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/white-space

A: Wrap your text in span like :

Q: jQuery can't fire 'change' event using code to mimmic list selection change Got the this function which, to make it short, enables and populates the next drop down list (it calls another jQuery function, but won't post it for now). It works perfectly. Now I'm trying to pass default values and have it enable and populate the following drop downs without actually clicking on anything.
The function that currently works:
$(function() {
    $(document).on('change', '.update', function() {
    formObject.run($(this));
    });
});

Here, the 'change' event was used because when the page loads, all lists but the first one are disabled, so a change (Selection of any item) in the first list will enable the second list, a later selection in the second list will enable the third list an so on. formObjet is a variable which contains a function 'run' that does all the 'dirty job'.
Now, I read (been browsing for hours!) that you could call the change event or the trigger handler to mimmic such selection, but none has worked so far:
$('select[name="princ"]').change(); // DOES NOT WORK
$('select[name="princ"]').trigger('change'); // DOES NOT WORK EITHER

I have placed this code snipped before the function, after, but nothing seems to work. BTW, 'princ' is the first dropdown, which is populated when the page loads (does no depend on javascript to be filled, simply php and mysql)
Any suggestions?

A: Depending on what browser you're using to test, the change event may not be bubbling up to the document level:
http://www.quirksmode.org/dom/events/change.html
Your example would not work in IE8 and below.

A: Please let me know if I'm misunderstanding the question, but I think I've dealt with something similar.
Browsers all handle the change event differently and usually doesn't fire until the user clicks away from that field after updating it (by clicking somewhere else on the page and solidifying their change).
My workaround has been to create a function that does the work for me and have that function run on click instead of change.  To cover your bases (and not have dynamic data loading unnecessarily), I would go about it this way:

*

*Create global variables or object to track the state of each dropdown (you can store id, value, etc. - this basically alows you to check whether the dropdown.  For default state, create all the variables and set their values to blank)

*Create a function that runs each time any of the fields are clicked and pass in the dropdown (either through ID, name or the actual jQuery object)

The JavaScript Portion

$(document).ready(function() {
    // Attach click function to princ
    $("select[name='princ']").click(function() {
        var value = $(this).val();  // Grab the value
        if (value != demo.globals.princ) {   // Check if the value is the old value
            demo.checkDropdown('princ', 'princ2', value);  // If it's a new value, grab the selected value and run the checkDropdown function
            demo.globals.princ = value;  // Set the global value
            $('#status').text("loading new values for princ " + value);
        } else {
            $('#status').text("princ values already loaded " + value);  // Unnecessary but used to output the status of the clicks
        }
    });
    // Attach click function to princ2
    $("select[name='princ2']").click(function() {
        var value = $(this).val();
        if (value != demo.globals.princ2) {
            demo.checkDropdown('princ2', 'princ3', value);
            demo.globals.princ2 = value;
            $('#status').text("loading new values for princ2 " + value);
        } else {
            $('#status').text("princ2 values already loaded " + value);
        }
    });
});
// Create a global object to avoid function collision
var demo = {};
// Create global variables
demo.globals = {
    princ: 0,
    princ2: 0
}
// Dropdown population function
demo.checkDropdown = function(dropDownName, nextDropDown, value) {
    // Check if it's already populated with the correct data, otherwise load it
    // You can also load dynamic data here via AJAX and update the select field
    var dropDownHtml = "<option value='1'>1</option>";
    dropDownHtml += "<option value='2'>2</option>";
    dropDownHtml += "<option value='3'>3</option>";
    $("select[name='" + nextDropDown + "']").html(dropDownHtml);
}

The HTML

    <form>

Page loaded

        <select name="princ">
            <option value="0">Please select one</option>
            <option value="1">1</option>
            <option value="2">2</option>
            <option value="3">3</option>
        </select>

        <select name="princ2">
        </select>

        <select name="princ3">
        </select>

    </form>

I really hope this helps you out.  It's a little more than what you're asking for, but it is a complete, working example of how to get dropdown values on change.

A night to hail Barcelona
Wherever you turn in the Eternal City there are relics of glorious times. Reminders of great battles.
Now you can add the night of May 27, 2009. The night the two mightiest football clubs on the planet, Manchester United and Barcelona, came to the banks of the Tiber and a brilliant Barcelona side departed with their third Champions Cup.
True, United were not at their best in the 2-0 defeat. Far from it. But this was not a night for critics to bury United. It was a time to praise Barcelona.
Rarely has a Champions League final been laden with such adventure and spirit. Seldom has one been blessed with two sides whose first instinct is to attack. And who's second is to attack some more.
So forget for a moment the flaws of Sir Alex Ferguson's side. And let us salute Josep Guardiola's team.
There is no shame in losing to Barcelona, who had won two European Cups previously and contested six finals.
No disgrace in being pipped for European football's greatest prize by a club whose shirt bears the word 'Unicef'.
Barcelona are part football club, partly a driving force for good, as proved by their copious works of charity.
They just do not show many on the football field. It is not just the sweet passing and the flowing movement of Xavi Hernandez and Andres Iniesta and Thierry Henry and Lionel Messi which catches the eye.
It is the way they worry the opposition. The way they keep the ball and when they lose it worry and harry like the police dogs outside the stadium in the police vans, snapping at the heels of United's midfielders all night.
All great sides work hard. But Barcelona, and Xavi in particular, deserve a Nobel prize for industry.
That itself is a virtue. But it is their devotion to the 'Beautiful Game' which is a treasure to behold.
Once Samuel Eto'o had opened the scoring after nine minutes, stepping inside Nemanja Vidic and planting a right-foot shot past Edwin van der Sar, Barcelona settled into their rhythm.
Xavi and Iniesta weaved their patterns, probing patterns always with the threat of incision. On another day Sir Alex Ferguson would have appreciated those midfield brush strokes.
They had so much in common with the ideals of Sir Matt Busby, for whom 16,000 United fans held up a mosaic proclaiming 'For you Matt' before kick-off to commemorate what would have been his 100th birthday.
From that moment history was in the air, especially as this was a stadium which held momentous memories for English football fans.
It was here Liverpool won the first of their European Cups against Borussia Moenchengladbach in 1977. Here where Liverpool toppled Roma in their own backyard in 1984. Here where a Paul Gascoigne-inspired England clinched qualification for the 1998 World Cup with as feisty a goalless performance as most can remember.
Here where United were hoping to make it four Champions Cups and climb a rung on the ladder of greatness alongside Bayern Munich and Ajax.
Defeat means United, who equalled Liverpool's record of 18 league titles this season, still lag two behind Liverpool's tally of five European Champions cups.
And Ferguson still trails Bob Paisley by one.
What will have hurt more, however, was that his team did not come close to reaching the imperious heights of this season, notably against Arsenal in the semi-final.
Then Arsenal are not Barcelona.
Could Ferguson have done more? It is doubtful. He threw on Carlos Tevez for Anderson at the start of the second half in an attempt to inject energy. A bid to wrest some control from a midfield which was being swamped by the creativity of the men in blue and red.
But still Edwin van der Sar was required to save with his legs from Henry, and Xavi planted an exquisite free kick against the post.
He threw on Dimitar Berbatov for Ji-Sung Park and there were times when his Fab Four - Ronaldo, Rooney, Tevez and Berbatov - looked as if they might find a route to salvation.
But, in truth, it was Ronaldo's temper which came to the boil, not his brilliance, collecting a yellow card for his umpteenth clash with Carles Puyol.
Xavi's brilliant cross and Messi's wonderful header eventually put paid to any thoughts of a 1999-style comeback.
But it is no time for recriminations, though it is a defeat which will hurt Ferguson deeply, if only because he has confirmed this as his best ever squad and repeated endlessly: "This club should have won more European Cups."
Yet sometimes you just have to bow in the face of superior talent.
This was such a night. A night all football lovers on the planet will have appreciated.
A night when it was a privilege to be in Rome and hail the champions.

Well hello there 2014, how nice to see you! Amazing how fast that number went from 1999 to 2014. I remember standing in my aunt and uncles basement, in a large circle of family, with lighted candles and singing in the New Year – Y2K (2000). Joking about whether the lights would stay on or if all the hoopla over computers not being made to handle the millennium change might have some truth to it. The lights never so much as flickered 😀 Time continued to tick by the same as always. Only somehow it seemed to speed up. I mean, I blinked and now it's 2014. I'm holding my eyes open wide because the next time I blink it will be 2024 and my baby will be 18, middle child will be 20, my oldest 24 and who knows who all might be added to our family!
As we meet this New Year, with all its newness and clean slates, let's make the most of the time given us. Do our best to fill it with what the Lord would have us to do. Pick up our swords and fight for the truth – however that looks to you. Be a light the cannot be hid. Proclaim the Truth without wavering and stand for God with no apologies.
'Our Father in heaven, we pray that your name will always be kept holy.
We pray that your kingdom will come – that what you want will be done here on earth, the same as in heaven.
May your year be blessed and may you glorify God in all you do.
I hope you have a blessed new year as well! I'm hoping for a better year this year myself. The sun is shining today so looks like it's starting off pretty good already.
Happy New Year, sweet Jill! Wishing you and your family a abundance of blessings for 2014!!
Have a very Happy New Year Jill! Here's to 2014!
Happy New Year, Jill!! I am right there with you fighting the good fight! This is going to be an awesome year, no matter what, for those who love Him!!


Autobalance tests to get optimal test suite split betweeen CI nodes.
It generates subset of test suite per CI node before running tests.
Knapsack Pro is fault-tolerant and can withstand possible CI instance preemptions (shut down) when you use highly affordable CI nodes like Google Cloud Preemptible VMs or Amazon EC2 Spot Instances. See how to enable it in Queue Mode. It's enabled in Regular Mode.
How Knapsack Pro makes my life easier as opposed to regular knapsack gem?
The Pro version tracks all you branches so when your test code changes the Pro tries to provide you as optimal test suite split as possible.
With the Pro version the setup and the ongoing work is easier because you don't have to manually generate knapsack json report with test files time execution for each test suite like rspec, cucumber etc.
When your test codebase changes over time you need to manually generate a new knapsack json report in free gem version which is extra overhead and waste of developer time.

Lucius Valerius Potitus (  414–390 BC) was a five time consular tribune, in 414, 406, 403, 401 and 398 BC, and two times consul, in 393 and 392 BC, of the Roman Republic.

Valerius belonged to the Valeria gens, one of the oldest and most prominent patrician gens of the early Republic. Filiations tell us that Valerius father was named Lucius and his grandfather was named Publius. Both are unattested in the consular lists and seems to have held no known political offices. It remains unclear of Valerius relation to his namesake, Lucius Valerius Poplicola Potitus, the consul of 449 BC but Ogilvie, in his reading of Livy, names him as Valerius father. There is a possibility, depending on how one reads the filiations, that the contemporary consular Gaius Valerius Potitus Volusus was his brother. Filiations indicate that Publius Valerius Potitus Poplicola, six time consular tribune, was the son of Valerius.

Career

Consular tribune (414–398 BC)
Valerius first held the imperium in 414 BC as one of four consular tribunes. His colleagues in the office were Gnaeus Cornelius Cossus, Quintus Fabius Vibulanus and Publius Postumius Albinus Regillensis, with the exception of Fabius all consulars were newcomers to the imperium. The consulars fought a successful war against the Aequi which resulted in the capture of Bolae. This newly captured territory came to be a focal point for strife as Marcus Sextius, a tribune of the plebs, proposed an agrarian law to colonize Bolae while blaming the consular Postumius for misconduct. The conflict would culminate in a mutiny among the Roman soldiers stationed at Bolae resulting in the death of both Postumius, the consular, and a Roman quaestor, Publius Sestius. It is unclear what the role of Valerius was during these events. The conflict involving Postumius might be a fabrication added by Livy to improve the narrative. To this narrative Livy also adds an increasing fears among the patricians that a plebeian could be elected as consular tribune which leads to the return of the ordinary consulship for the years 413–409 BC.

Valerius could have been one of the unknown censors who completed the lustrum in between 417 and 404 BC as suggested by the classicist Jaakko Suolahti. Suolahti, drawing from the fact that the census described in 403 BC is numbered lustrum XVI and counting from lustrum X which was held in 459 BC only gives us four pairs of censors (in 443, 435, 430 and 418 BC), thus a missing lustrum XV. Additionally drawing upon a gap in the Fasti Capitolini from 414 to 410 BC the censorship can likely be placed within this timeframe, with Suolahti leaning towards the year 410 BC. Suolahti's main suggestions for these unknown censors are Spurius Nautius Rutilus and Manius Aemilius Mamercinus but adds Valerius as one of the viable options. While Suolahti argues for the existence of these unknown censors and lustrum XV, these possible candidates should be noted, and is noted by the author himself, are simply educated guesses based on the suitability of the candidates to the office and are in the authors words "mere suppositions".

Valerius would hold his second term as consular tribune in 406 BC together with three relatives of his former colleagues in 414 BC: Publius Cornelius Rutilus Cossus, Gnaeus Cornelius Cossus and Numerius Fabius Ambustus. The year saw war against the Volsci and the Veii with Valerius commanding the army at Antium. While previous battles had been defensive battles fought close to Algidus this year saw the Romans gaining ground against the Volscians. The consulars implemented a new law dictating pay for soldiers pushing Rome towards a professionalized army. Diodorus in his account of this year omits Gnaeus Cornelius from the college and Livy, while describing the actions of the others, lets Cornelius play a passive part and remaining in Rome, which might indicate the college consisted of only three members, Rutilus, Fabius and Valerius.

In 403 BC Valerius held his third consular tribuneship. He shared the office with Manius Aemilius Mamercinus. Appius Claudius Crassus Inregillensis, Marcus Quinctilius Varus. Lucius Julius Iulus and Marcus Furius Fusus. The college, with the exception of Aemilius and Valerius, were all first time consulars. Livy, when writing of this college, incorrectly includes the two censors Marus Furius Camillus and Marus Postumius Albinus Regillensis into the consular college. The year saw the continuation of the war started in 406 BC against the Veii with all consulars (including Valerius) leading armies against the Veii with the exception of Claudius who remained in Rome. The long years of war and new payments towards the soldiers seems to have strained the economy of Rome and the two censors, Camillus and Postumius imposed new taxes targeting bachelors and orphans.

Two years later, in 401 BC, Valerius would again be elected to the role of consular tribune. He shared the office with two former colleagues, Cossus from 406 BC and Aemilius from 403 BC, and three others, Camillus (the censor from 403 BC), Lucius Julius Iulus (close relative of his former colleague Julius) and Caeso Fabius Ambustus (brother of his former colleague Fabius in 406 BC). The year saw war against the Volsci, Falerii, Veii and the Capena. Valerius held the command in Anxur against the Volscians. Considering that Rome had been defeated in 402 BC at Veii while being led by a young and inexperienced consular college, this college Valerius was part of consisted of exceptionally experienced consulars. Outside of war there was continued civil strife within Rome with a conflict involving three of the plebeian tribunes, Marcus Acutius, Gaius Lacerius and Gnaeus Trebonius, in regards to the Lex Trebonia. Additionally there was legal procedures against two former consulars Lucius Verginius Tricostus Esquilinus and Manius Sergius Fidenas, led by the other three plebeian tribunes and targeting the consulars for their conduct and defeat against the Veientanes and Faliscans. Eventually the plebeian tribunes united under a proposal of a new agrarian law. Diodorus in his accounts of this year omits Valerius as one of the consulars, but Valerius is confirmed by our other sources.

Valerius was elected for a fifth and final term as consular tribune in 398 BC. He shared the office with one former colleague, Camillus, and four others, Marcus Valerius Lactucinus Maximus, Lucius Furius Medullinus (brother of Camillus), Quintus Servilius Fidenas and Quintus Sulpicius Camerinus Cornutus. War continued against the Falsci and the Veii with Valerius in command against the Falsci. Valerius fought successfully and ravaged the territory of the Falscians. His colleagues with the exception of Camillus, who remained in Rome, continued the Siege of Veii. A natural phenomena occurred at the Alban lake resulting in an embassy being sent to Delphi to consult the Oracle of Apollo. There is some uncertainty in regards if the Valerius Potitus mentioned among the ambassadors should be identified as Valerius or his close relative Gaius Valerius Potitus Volusus. The other members of the embassy were Gnaeus Cornelius Cossus, Publius Licinius Calvus Esquilinus and a Fabius Ambustus (either Caeso or Numerius), all, with the exception of Licinius, former colleagues of Valerius. The embassy would return in 397 BC. Valerius role as consular tribune is somewhat doubted as Diodorus (similar to 401 BC) omits him from this college and Livys inclusion of Valerius seems like a duplication.

Ambassador and Interrex (397–394 BC)
In 396 BC Valerius was appointed as Interrex to hold the elections of the consulars. There were two other known interreges, Camillus and Servilius, appointed during this comitia and it is unclear who completed the election. This was the same year as the Siege of Veii was successfully ended.

Valerius would again be appointed as an ambassador to Delphi in 394 BC. He together with Lucius Sergius Fidenas and Aulus Manlius Vulso Capitolinus were sent to deliver offerings to Apollo as thanks for the Roman success in the siege of Veii. The embassy was ambushed and captured by Liparean pirates under the command of Timasitheus who in the end set them free to complete their offering to Apollo. There is a possibility that the Lucius Valerius that took part in this embassy was Lucius Valerius Poplicola, both Broughton and Oglivie prefer the elder Valerius. Some ancient sources such as Diodorus, place this embassy in 396 BC in combination with the fall of Veii.

Consulships and second term as Interrex (393–391 BC)
The following year, in 393 BC, Valerius was elected as consul together with Publius Cornelius Maluginensis but for reasons unknown they never entered office and two new consuls, Lucius Lucretius Tricipitinus Flavus and Servius Sulpicius Camerinus, were elected to replace them. The return of the consulship over the consular tribunes is theorized to be because of the reduced external threat with the defeat of Veii and their allies.

Valerius was again elected as consul in 392 BC with Marcus Manlius Capitolinus as his colleague. The year saw war against the Aequi which was successfully conducted by both consuls. Manlius was awarded the minor triumph, ovatio, while Valerius was awarded and celebrated a full triumph. Having concluded the war the consuls abdicated in favor of the return of a college of consular tribunes as a new threat from the Gauls was looming. Valerius was again appointed as one of the Interreges to help complete the comitia for the consular college of 391 BC. His colleagues as interreges were, once again, Camillus and a newcomer Publius Cornelius Scipio.

Sack of Rome and third term as Interrex (390–387 BC)
The wars of Rome would by 390 BC involve a new enemy from outside the local region. The Celts from the Po Valley under the leadership of Brennus had marched southward and after a failed embassy from Rome decided to invade Roman territory. The Romans were defeated in the Battle of the Allia and Rome itself was now threatened. Camillus, the former colleague of Valerius, was recalled from exile (he had been exiled in 391 BC for his conduct in the aftermath of his triumph and victory against the Veii) and appointed dictator. Camillus appointed Valerius as his magister equitum (co-dictator). Camillus and Valerius succeeded with pushing back the Gauls who had by then captured all of Rome with the exception of the Capitoline. They stayed in office after this victory to stop a proposal of abandoning Rome and for Camillus to celebrate a triumph.

There is a possibility that the magister equitum, named as Lucius Valerius by Livy, is not Potitus but rather his relative and contemporary Lucius Valerius Poplicola. Broughton, following Degrassi, considers Potitus the more probable alternative, while Ogilvie prefers either of the candidates but considers the office itself as "unhistorical".

Valerius final appearance in our sources is in 387 BC as Interrex, this time together with Marcus Manlius Capitolinus, his former consular colleague, and Servius Sulpicius Camerinus, the consul who replaced him in 392 BC.

Thus, after 27 years and 12 magistracies one of the early Republics most distinguished, and to some degree mysteriously unknown, figures disappear from our records.

The literary tradition of the Early Roman Republic
This period of the Roman Republic is supported by few and unreliable sources. The ancient historian Livy remains one of the most influential for this period but he is more or less a tertiary source and bases most of his writings on the works of previous historians, such as the lost writings of Aelius Tubero, Licinius Macer, Valerius Antias and Fabius Pictor. The Greek historian Diodorus Siculus covers this period in detail in Bibliotheca historica, but the work remains discussed in regards to precedence over the accounts of Livy. A third, equally controversial, source is the Fasti and derivatives of it, such as the Chronograph of 354. Most modern researchers believe that, to a degree, these ancient writings contain truths, even if these occasionally are mere grains of truths, and that they should be treated sceptically and critically. The archaeological evidences generally show a decline in Rome during the days of the young Republic but with an increase in infrastructure and wealth first by the late 4th century BC. Descriptions of the same events usually differing between different authors and inscriptions, which suggests that the sources used by Livy and his contemporaries were in themselves in disagreement.

As Livy, Diodorus and the Fasti are in agreement in regards to most of the narratives surrounding Valerius, one should consider this individual of the early Roman Republic to at least have existed and held several if not all of the offices listed above. But, as the classicist Broughton adds, this period in the history of the Republic is filled with interpolations and discrepancies between sources and should be viewed sceptically.

(2) in the case of rights of pre-emption created by instruments before the 6th April 2010, the perpetuity period of 21 years under S.9(2) will not (again except in the case of registered land where the right is granted after 13th October 2003) run from the date of the instrument creating the right, but only from the satisfaction of the condition which makes the right exercisable (usually the giving of notice by the landowner of his intention to sell the land), at which point the right matures into an option, which is an interest in land.
This subject may seem to be of limited importance given the abolition of the rule against perpetuities in relation to land transactions effected by the Perpetuities and Accumulations Act 2009. However, there will still be many instances where the position will have to be considered in the light of the law before 6th April 2010; a recent example which supports the Proposition above is the decision of the High Court in Cosmichome Limited v Southampton City Council EWHC 1378(Ch). The Cosmichome case is also of interest in relation to the law of restrictive covenants and I will deal with that in a separate post.
"A right of pre-emption, unlike an option to purchase, did not create an interest in land because it did not give the grantee a present right, or even a contingent right, to call for the conveyance of the legal estate. It created a mere spes and could not become an interest in land until the condition on which it depended was satisfied (ie by the grantor offering the land to the grantee) and the right was converted into an option".
"In the case of a disposition consisting of the conferring of an option to acquire for valuable consideration an interest in land, the perpetuity period under the rule against perpetuity shall be twenty-one years, and S.1 of this Act shall not apply; Provided that this subsection shall not apply to a right of pre-emption conferred on a public or local authority in respect of land used or to be used for religious purposes where the right becomes exercisable only if the land ceases to be used for such purposes".
"The beliefs or assumptions of those who frame Acts of Parliament cannot make the law".
"In the light of the decision in Pritchard v Briggs I am of the view, indeed in the light of the reasoning that underlies that decision I doubt that it is open to me to come to a different view, that Parliament proceeded on a wrong assumption (namely that a right of pre-emption did indeed give rise to an immediate interest in land) and that it would not therefore be right to regard the legislation as amending the law by treating rights of pre-emption exceptionally as if they give rise to an immediate interest in land. Looking at the issue more generally, I can see no reason why, where the right in question sounds at the time of its creation only in contract and may never mature into a right which confers on the grantee an interest in land, Parliament would have wanted to single it out and treat it as if, from the moment of its creation, the right had this added proprietary effect".
"I regret I do not feel able to agree with this conclusion either. Once it is accepted, as this alternative approach must do, that a right of pre-emption, so long as it has not matured into an option, is not within S.9 (2) but only comes within the purview of the subsection (so that consideration of the perpetuity periods becomes relevant) once it matures into an option when the offer to sell is made, it is difficult to see why the relevant date for the starting of the perpetuity period must nevertheless be taken to be some earlier date. Clarity and the need for ease of application do not seem, with respect, to be a sufficient basis for doing so. On the contrary, the statutory provisions seem to me to point to the date when the option comes into existence (and the interest in the land arises) as being the relevant start date".
"It would seem reasonably clear therefore that the date for measuring the 21 year perpetuity period is the date when the option arises rather than the date when the right of pre-emption is conferred".
I have set these words out in full because I think they have quite an important consequence in relation to rights of pre-emption conferred before the 6th April 2010 but maturing into options after that date. In such cases, the logical conclusion seems to be that the perpetuity period will not start to run at all as the interest in land will have come into force after the 2009 Act had taken effect to abolish the perpetuity period altogether in relation to land transactions.
"(1) A right of pre-emption in relation to registered land has effect from the time of creation as an interest capable of binding successors in title (subject to the rules about the effect of dispositions on priority).
(2) This section has effect in relation to rights of pre-emption created on or after the day on which this section comes into force".
The section came into force on the 13th October 2003; from that date on any grant of right of pre-emption the right would take effect immediately as an interest in land which would be capable of binding successors in title in accordance with the rules of priority applicable to registered land. This provision was intended to overcome precisely the difficulties referred to above. Clearly, however, the position as outlined above would be the same for registered land as for unregistered land in the case of rights of pre-emption created before 13th October 2003 and again the question arises of the position where a right of pre-emption in relation to registered land is granted before the coming into force of the 2002 Act but is converted to an option after that. The answer I think is that s.115 would not apply and that the resulting option would be subject to the Land Registration Acts and Rules regarding registration and priorities.
(4) S.115 will not apply to a right of pre-emption granted before 13th October 2003, nor on such a right maturing into an option after that date; if the right matures between 13th October 2006 and 6th April 2010, the rule will in theory apply, but only until 6th April 2010.

A controversial three-story,128-unit apartment complex in Santa Fe Springs — but surrounded by unincorporated South Whittier — received another key approval from the City Council on Thursday, June 14 despite opposition from several residents from the area.
The property is owned by the South Whittier School District., which plans to lease the property to Torrance-based Storm Properties for $400,000 a year for 65 years.
Butch Redman of South Whittier, who appealed the May 14 Planning Commission ruling in favor of the development, complained about loss of open space and added traffic and potential parking problems from the complex. The apartments will be built on a 5-acre field at 11201-11313 Carmenita Road between Carmela Elementary School and Carmela Preschool.
The council voted 5-0 without any discussion. A zone change and general plan amendment are expected to come back to the council at its July 12 meeting.
Councilman Richard Moore in an interview after the vote, called the project a win-win situation for both the city and school district.
Butch Redman, a 70-year-resident of South Whittier who filed the appeal, said after the meeting that he doesn't believe the council would have approved such a project if it was near the city's residents.
"If that (project) was for any other place in Santa Fe Springs, they wouldn't even consider a project like this because the city would be up in arms," Redman said.
Rosie Barragan, who lives near the project on Laurel Avenue, said she's concerned about extra traffic on her street from the project.
