Hi all!!
I'd like to discuss a common problem that many time I found in topics.
The problem happens everytime that we have to refresh a content with clientscript in an ajax request.
The two instriment that the framework actually provide are:
$this->renderPartial('view', $params)
$this->renderPartial('view', $params, false, true)
The first don't works, because all clientScript inside the refreshed content will not work, and the latter don't work, because all client script outside the refreshed div will not work.
By the way, calling the latter make so that ajax request start a strange recursion, the first time 2 request will be send instead of 1, the second 4, then 8 - 16 and so on.
The common workaround (and what I have always done too) was to avoid to use clientscript for this widget, and that means avoiding even to use CJuiWidget, because the register script file, css file and the script itself in the clientscript.
The workaround concept itself is not bad: the main point is that if we have to render a subview, this subview should be complete and contain all the necessary script for work on his own.
Starting from this idea I implemented this patch for the bug: 768
This file extends CController (so you can put in components and edit /components/Contoller.php for extend it).
This extended class provide a method "renderPartialWithHisOwnClientScript", that will render the clientScript of the subView (and ONLY the clientScript of the subView) at the bottom of the subview itself.
It allows you to work normally, without workaround and without hand-creating CJuiWidget, just remember to call this new renderparital and in the normal renderPartial and in the ajaxRequest function.
NOTE: there is still a problem with id, the components with clientScript inside the content to ajax-refresh should still have a unique id in order to not confilct with external components with the same id.
This cannot be fixed with an extension because CHtml::ID_PREFIX is a const and cannot (for now) be edited.
For YiiDevelopers: this file is a small edit in CControler and CClientScript, please check if it break something and include it in the official release. Let's have a talk about how to fix even the id-conflict problem.
I feel that this detail is the last one Yii's week point in client side managment, let's fix it!

Linux Unix Uses & Stats
Linux Unix is Used For:Desktop Mainframe Computers Mobile Devices Embedded Devices
Year Created1991/1971
Linux supports many efficient tools and operates them seamlessly. Because it's architecture is lightweight it runs faster than both Windows 8.1 and 10.
Because Linux is an open-source software, anyone can contribute code to help enhance the users' experience i.e., adding features, fixing bugs, reducing security risks, and more.
Software Development:
The terminal in Linux is a *wild card*. You can do almost anything with it. This includes software installation, application and server configurations, file system management, and etc.
Open-source projects benefit from having an attentive community. As a result, Linux is more secure than Windows. Instead of installing anti viruses to clean malware, you just have to stick to the recommended repositories.
Developers have the convenience of running servers, training machine learning models, accessing remote machines, and compiling and running scripts from the same terminal window.
Linux is free (you can put it on as many systems as you like) and you can change it to suit your needs.
Learning Curve:
Linux is not for everyone, there is a learning curve in switching to Ubuntu. To actually learn Linux efficiently would take a user one to several years.
No Tech Support:
Unlike Windows, there isn't a dedicated tech support, so getting help for things is up to you.
Designer Compatabilty:
Linux is not as user friendly as Windows or as 'straight out of the box design' As an example for design choices, Adobe hasn't released any of its products to Linux users. So it's impossible to run them directly. The Ubuntu alternative is a free software called GIMP.
Gaming Capabilities:
Most games aren't available in Linux. But that's not to say you can't make it happen, it's just not as easy.

Egyptians Divide As They Celebrate Together
This was an eventful week in Egypt. The country's first freely elected parliament in six decades opened for business, while hundreds of thousands of Egyptians used protests to mark the first anniversary of the uprising that toppled former President Hosni Mubarak. But deepening political divisions between pro-Islamist and secular protesters erupted into violent scuffles, marring the commemoration of last year's revolution.
NPR's Soraya Sarhaddi Nelson is in Cairo. Soraya, thanks for being with us.
SORAYA SARHADDI NELSON, BYLINE: You're welcome. Good morning.
SIMON: Good morning. Help s understand what the new protests are all about?
NELSON: Well, if you talk to the secular and the liberal types who turned out, they are very much determined to make the ruling generals - they've, of course, formed a council that is basically the group that's in charge until transition to democracy is completed. And what they want is that these generals need to step aside now. They want them to hand over power to the newly elected parliament and to perhaps even another civilian authority that might be selected from the people just to get them out of the way because they feel that they're taking a lot of steps to try and stay in power, basically. So, and these protesters are very determined to keep the momentum going that they created last year with the uprising that, of course, ousted Mubarak.
SIMON: And the Islamists have a different agenda?
NELSON: Yes. They, on the other hand, would like to give the ruling generals a chance to fulfill their pledge to step aside after presidential elections next summer. They're also very focused on the parliament. They would like the parliament to be able to begin business and they think the time for protests have passed.
SIMON: The ruling military generals have also drawn some fire from U.S. officials with their attacks on non-governmental organizations and pro-democracy groups. And, of course, we're following the story - in this country especially - of authorities there preventing 10 Americans and Europeans, who were involved in such groups from leaving - including the son of U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood. What's the latest status?
NELSON: Well, Sam LaHood, the son of the U.S. transportation secretary, he spoke with me last night and he is very concerned that he and others may face trial here. What the government here is saying is that these foreign groups are operating here illegally. And, in fact, the ruling generals have also said that there are foreign elements behind these protests that are continuing, that this is somehow being instigated from outside which, of course, is something that these groups deny vehemently having anything to do with. They're here to, you know, promote democracy but not in an active way. I mean, in fact, LaHood's group was one of the groups that was doing monitoring of the elections that just went on.
SIMON: Mm-hmm. But no indication yet of when they might be released, or for that matter, charged.
NELSON: No. There wasn't any word yesterday. And continued talks between U.S. officials and the Egyptians have not resulted in an end to this stalemate or this travel ban.
SIMON: Soraya, what comes next in Egypt's transformation?
NELSON: Well, tomorrow is the first phase of the upper house elections. Now, unlike the lower house of parliament, this is a weaker body but nevertheless, these are the first real elections for that body in many, many decades. And so it'll be interesting to see whether people turn out in the great numbers they did for parliament. There already seems to be some voter fatigue, if you will, during the last round because there were so many elections and runoffs and it just went on and on for a couple of months. So that begins tomorrow. And then presidential elections will be held later this summer. That's what people are really paying attention to.
The concern is that you don't want someone back in power who is going to try to gather all that power around them the way Mubarak did. I mean this is a big fear that people have, is that if you end up with a super-strong president then you may end up with yet another dictatorship that lasts for three decades.
SIMON: Soraya Sarhaddi Nelson in Cairo. Thanks so much.
NELSON: You're welcome. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

The Free Software Foundation today launched a campaign against Microsoft Corp.'s upcoming Windows 7 operating system, calling it "treacherous computing" that stealthily takes away rights from users.
At the Web site Windows7Sins.org, the Boston-based FSF lists the seven "sins" that proprietary software such as Windows 7 commits against computer users.
Related stories:
Pirated Windows 7 RC contains Trojan
Corporate "leeches" threaten free, open source software community
They include: Poisoning education, locking in users, abusing standards such as OpenDocument Format (ODF), leveraging monopolistic behavior, threatening user security, enforcing Digital Rights Management (DRM) at the request of entertainment companies concerned about movie and music piracy, and invading privacy.
"Windows, for some time now, has really been a DRM platform, restricting you from making copies of digital files," said executive director Peter Brown. And if Microsoft's Trusted Computing technology were fully implemented the way the company would like, the vendor would have "malicious and really complete control over your computer."
The result is that Microsoft could do things like Amazon.com, which last month went into customers' Kindle e-readers and deleted illegally-sold copies of novels such as George Orwell's 1984, he said.
"This is treacherous computing," Brown said.
Microsoft did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The group, best-known for overseeing the General Public License (GPL) used by most open-source software, including Linux, will hold a rally at noon in Boston Common, where it will unveil a 12-foot-tall art installation depicting Windows 7 "being trashed," Brown said.
The group is also sending a letter (available at the group's Web site) to top executives at Fortune 500 companies that argues their companies would benefit ethically, technically and, in the long-term, financially, from switching away from Windows and Microsoft Office to free alternatives such as Linux and OpenOffice.org.
Founded in the mid-1980s by hacker-activist Richard Stallman, the FSF argues that free software and source code is a moral right. It takes pains to distinguish itself from the open-source movement, which advocates sharing of source code but tolerates charging for software.
Both groups, however, view proprietary software vendors such as Microsoft, Adobe Systems Inc., and Apple Inc. as the enemy, Brown said.
Even with DRM, users running Windows PCs still maintain more freedom and privacy than those who use cloud computing services such as Google Docs and store their data there, Brown said.
"That is the ultimate giving-away of your freedom," he said. "That's not a software freedom issue, it's a stupidity issue."
While Brown acknowledges that many Fortune 500 companies base their businesses around proprietary business models similar to Microsoft, he also points out that most of them, at least regarding software, are more consumer than vendor.
"Large corporations spend an awful lot of money on software. They face numerous software audits and more vendor lock-in than you or me," Brown said. "Do you think they would rather be driving on a freeway, or always be paying on toll roads?"
"I'm not expecting an instant wave of companies switching off XP to Linux," he said. "But we would like get that debate going. Hopefully, some will re-evaluate and say no to Windows 7."

Rehearing Denied Aug. 4, 1988.
See 487 U.S. 1246 .
On petition for writ of certiorari to the Supreme Court of California.
The petition for a writ of certiorari is denied.
Justice MARSHALL, with whom Justice BRENNAN joins, dissenting.
Adhering to my view that the death penalty is in all circumstances cruel and unusual punishment prohibited by the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments, Gregg v. Georgia, 428 U.S. 153 , 231-241, 2973- 2977 (1976) (MARSHALL, J., dissenting), I would grant the petition for writ of certiorari. But even if I did not hold this view, I would grant the petition because it raises the question whether the State may introduce evidence of unadjudicated criminal conduct at the sentencing phase of a capital trial.
A jury convicted petitioner Adam Miranda of first-degree murder and assault with intent to commit murder. At the sentencing phase of the trial, the only evidence the State introduced to support the death penalty concerned a wholly unrelated murder. Petitioner had been charged with committing this murder, but had not been tried for or convicted of the crime. Moreover, the trial court refused to instruct the jury that it could consider the evidence of the unrelated murder in making a sentencing determination only if it found beyond a reasonable doubt that petitioner had committed the offense. The jury imposed the death sentence. [486 U.S. 1038 , 1039] I have stated twice this Term that the Court should consider the question whether the admission of of evidence of unadjudicated criminal conduct at the penalty phase of a capital trial violates the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments. See Williams v. Lynaugh, 484 U.S. 935 (1987) (dissenting from denial of certiorari); Devier v. Kemp, 484 U.S. 948 (1987) (dissenting from denial of certiorari). I have noted that this question has prompted a number of conflicting decisions nationwide. Compare State v. Bobo, 727 S.W.2d 945, 952-953 (Tenn.) (unadjudicated-crimes evidence not admissible), cert. denied, 484 U.S. 872 (1987), and State v. Bartholomew, 101 Wash.2d 631, 640-642, 683 P.2d 1079, 1085-1086 ( 1984) (en banc) (same), with Milton v. State, 599 S.W.2d 824, 827 (Tex. Crim.App.1980) (en banc) (unadjudicated-crimes evidence admissible). In addition, I have argued that the admission of unadjudicated-crimes evidence at the sentencing phase of a capital trial is difficult to reconcile with the unique constitutional concern for reliability in death sentencing proceedings. This case again demonstrates that the Court should resolve this important question.

In this week's "Doctor and Patient" column, I write about the dwindling numbers of U.S. medical students who are choosing to go into primary care. Medical educators have pointed to enormous educational debts, lower income, and less controllable hours and lifestyle as the major reasons that students prefer other specialties over primary care. Even with the current legislative attempts to remedy some of these issues, medical educators continue worry about a worsening shortage of primary care physicians.
Why? Because primary care also suffers from a terrible image problem.
While the frisson of advancing treatments and approaches to patient care seem to envelope most other specialties, the image of primary care remains one of a vaguely anachronistic practice, a group of doctors who stand not on the forefront of creative change but who are continually left holding the biggest bag of administrative expectations and clinical care coordination and demands.
But that image may be changing.
To find out more, please read this week's column. And join the discussion at Tara Parker-Pope's "Well" blog or below.

Gaining new insight to managing sodium balance and blood pressure, investigators at the University of Houston (UH) College of Pharmacy believe their work may identify future therapeutic targets to control hypertension.
Mohammad Asghar, assistant professor of pharmacology, is exploring the mechanisms by which oxidative and inflammatory stressors – considered hallmarks of the aging process – alter the function of two critical receptor systems in the kidneys that are involved in sodium metabolism and blood pressure. While there are different hormonal systems in the body that aid in sodium balance, at the center of Asghar's research are the dopamine and angiotensin II receptor systems that play pivotal roles in fine-tuning sodium stability and maintaining normal blood pressure.
"When the function of these two receptor systems is defective, the equilibrium of sodium is disturbed, causing an increase in blood pressure," Asghar said. "Yet, it remains unclear as to what triggers the dysfunction of the receptors and their delicate balancing act."
In research conducted up to this point, supported by funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Asghar and his collaborators have identified two likely factors – inflammation and oxidative stress – that have adverse effects on kidney functions. His results showed that exercise training builds up strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant environments, thereby improving kidney functions during aging.
"We now are attempting to determine the mechanisms by which oxidative stress and inflammatory stress exert their actions upon these receptors and contribute to increased blood pressure," Asghar said. "We are currently investigating if exercise training has beneficial effects in improving dopamine and angiotensin II receptor functions, sodium balance and control of blood pressure during aging."
With this next phase of research funded by a five-year, $1.5 million grant from the NIH's National Institute on Aging, Asghar has set out to specifically examine resistant hypertension, which is a particular type of high blood pressure that does not respond to treatment.
"Resistant hypertension, which is typical of the aging phenomenon, requires a combination of drugs for blood pressure control," he said. "Currently available medications are not effective to treat resistant hypertensive patients. While my research is focused on aging, the outcomes may very well benefit both adult and older populations who suffer from hypertension."
Citing studies that have linked both a low-sodium diet and exercise to reducing oxidative and inflammatory stress, Asghar is a proponent of moderate, regular exercise and better dietary habits. In addition to further investigating the relationship between high salt and hypertension through his analyses of receptor systems in the kidneys, he also is looking at how exercise and antioxidant or anti-inflammatory therapeutic agents may restore the function of those two key receptors to reduce hypertension. He believes this exercise research could yield potential therapeutic targets that mimic exercise, which may prove beneficial for those individuals who are unable to exercise due to physical or other disabilities.
Asghar and his team's ongoing work could lead to new treatments for millions of hypertensive individuals at risk for stroke, heart failure and a range of other cardiovascular diseases due to high blood pressure, which is a major risk factor for these ailments.

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (JTA) — Ten years after the notorious U.N. anti-racism conference in Durban, South Africa, that devolved into an Israel-bashing frenzy, anti-Zionist forces are mobilizing again to hold another anti-Israel conference in South Africa.
This time, Israel will be on trial.
The Russell Tribunal on Palestine — a standing organization that held two tribunals against Israel last year in Barcelona and London — has been called for Nov . 5-6 in Cape Town "to probe whether the treatment of Palestinians in Israel and the occupied territories meets the criteria of the United Nations convention against the crime of apartheid."
The South African Zionist Federation has called the event, which is to involve prominent South Africans and already is making national headlines here, "an irrelevant talk shop."
"Despite its name, the Russell Tribunal is not an impartial, accountable judicial body," a vice chairman of the South African Zionist Federation, Ben Swartz, told JTA. "Rather it is a loose association of lobbyists pushing a narrow, one-sided political agenda, in this case the delegitimization of the State of Israel."
He called it "a pointless political smear campaign by a self-appointed group of anti-Israel activists."
But because of the attention it is receiving in South Africa, the tribunal is likely to be a damaging public relations exercise against Israel. The event has won several key endorsements in the country, including from South Africa's leading federation of trade unions, the ruling African National Congress party, the South African Communist Party, and Zackie Achmat, the AIDS activist and Nobel Peace Prize nominee.
While the tribunal said it invited Israel, Dov Segev-Steinberg, the Israeli ambassador to South Africa, denied the claim.
"I have not seen any approach by the tribunal to Israel or the embassy," he told JTA. Segev-Steinberg said Israel views the tribunal as a "kangaroo court without any justification."
Two Israelis are slated to participate in the tribunal: attorneys Michael Sfard, who has represented Israelis refusing to serve in Israeli army operations in the West Bank and is the legal counsel to Peace Now's Settlement Watch project, and Leah Tsemel, who represents Palestinians in cases against Israel.
Ben Levitas, another vice chairman of the South African Zionist Federation, told JTA that the Jewish community has expressed great concern about the tribunal.
"This is not a court that reflects public opinion," Levitas said. "They have been very selective in their choice of witnesses."
The tribunal will meet at the District Six Museum, which was set up to commemorate some of the early forced removals of "Cape Coloreds," as mixed-race South Africans from a particular ethnic group in Cape Town were known, from their homes and businesses under the apartheid government.
The lineup at the tribunal is an anti-Israel parade. Nobel Peace laureate and Archbishop emeritus Desmond Tutu, a frequent critic of the Jewish state, is slated to open the proceedings.
The "jury" will include Ronnie Kasrils, the Jewish former South African minister of intelligence who gained international notoriety some 10 years ago when he promoted several anti-Israel measures in parliament; Alice Walker, the African-American author who tried to take part in this year's flotilla to Gaza and has defended suicide bombings as "last-ditch resistance"; Nobel Peace laureate Mairead Maguire, who in 2009 was arrested by Israel for sailing on a boat attempting to break Israel's blockade of the Hamas-run Gaza Strip; and Spanish Supreme Court judge Jose Antonio Pallin, who has accused Israel of war crimes.
"The world expects South Africa to champion the rights of other people," Kasrils said.
South African "witnesses" will include Steven Friedman, a Jewish proponent of the boycott, divestment and sanctions campaign targeting Israel; John Dugard, a former U.N. special rapporteur on human rights in Palestine; and Winnie Madikizela-Mandela, the ex-wife of anti-apartheid activist and former South African President Nelson Mandela.
"The primary purpose is to engage with the court of public opinion throughout the world, air views and start a conversation which hopefully will continue over the next few years," Friedman told JTA. The Zionist Federation, he said, is "a well-known source of propaganda. Its view is that any criticism of Israel is invalid, and it sees its job as defaming and discrediting anyone who has an alternative view of Israel."
The local organizing committee is chaired by Siraj Desai, a high court judge, and includes Nozizwe Madlala-Routledge, a former deputy minister and deputy speaker of parliament who went to Israel in 2008 to advocate for Palestinian rights.
The tribunal is named for British philosopher and mathematician Bertrand Russell, who along with philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre set up the 1960s-era Russell Tribunal on Vietnam to examine U.S. war crimes. It was followed some years later by the Russell Tribunal II on human rights offenses by former Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet.
The latest Russell tribunal calls itself "an International People's Tribunal created by a large group of citizens involved in the promotion of peace and justice in the Middle East." Organizers say they seek to highlight the international community's failure to implement U.N. resolutions and International Court of Justice decisions against Israel.
It aims to achieve its objectives through "a citizen's initiative in support of the rights of the Palestinian people, with public international law as its frame of reference."
The first session of the tribunal, held last year in Barcelona, focused on the "complicity of the European Union and its member states in not holding Israel accountable to the United Nations Charter, the Geneva Conventions and other instruments of international law." The London session, also last year, "considered the complicity of international corporations in illegally profiteering from the occupation in Palestine." A fourth session is scheduled for New York in 2012.
The tribunal coordinator, former Belgian senator Pierre Garland, said the tribunal would compare Israel to apartheid South Africa, putting questions to the Jewish state about crimes against humanity.
"At its previous meetings, it proved to be an irrelevant talk shop whose members simply arrived at pre-endorsed conclusions, all of which were aimed at depicting Israel, and only Israel, as a criminal rogue state," the Zionist Federation's Swartz told JTA. "There is no reason to believe that the latest installment of its rolling propaganda road show will be any different."

Jesse Williams' marriage has come to an end.
The Grey's Anatomy star and wife Aryn Drake-Lee called it quits on their private relationship, nearly five years after the pair tied the knot in September 2012, E! News can confirm. According to court documents obtained by E! News, Williams filed for divorce. He is requesting joint legal and physical custody of their kids, and to terminate Drake-Lee's spousal support.
Jesse and the real-estate broker share two children together, 3-year-old daughter Sadie and an almost 2-year-old son named Maceo. At the time of baby No. 2's birth, an insider shared with E! News that the couple was "really excited" to become parents once again, explaining, "This was something they really wanted."
Williams, 35, was last photographed publicly with his now ex-ladylove in December 2015.
Jesse and Aryn dated for more than five years before marrying, first meeting when the actor was working as a schoolteacher in New York.
He told USA Today in 2010, "I was a teacher when I met her, so she's been with me through all different facets of my career. She's stuck with me through thick and thick and thick and thin."
"We know each other in and out, and she was very happy to move out here," Jesse added, referencing their relocation to Los Angeles. "She loves California and was tired of the weather on the East Coast."
In 2016, Jesse and Aryn launched the "Ebroji" app together, a platform for curated GIFs .
They have yet to comment publicly on their reported divorce. E! News has reached out to Williams' rep for comment.
The Jasmine Brand was first to report the news.

Patrick Bayou
See Also:
County: Harris
Parameters: Copper, water toxicity, sediment toxicity, temperature
Basin: San Jacinto River
Segment: 1006A
On this page:
Background and Goals
Water quality testing prior to 1999 found that Patrick Bayou might not be able to support a healthy aquatic community. Several conditions were found that exceeded criteria established to protect aquatic life and general uses of the water body:
- high average concentrations of dissolved copper
- water toxicity
- sediment toxicity
- high water temperatures
Patrick Bayou is a small tidal tributary of the Houston Ship Channel. The non-tidal portion of Patrick Bayou lies south of SH 225, is largely concrete lined, and serves as drainage for the City of Deer Park. Freshwater flow from the watershed is ephemeral. Immediately downstream (north) of SH 225, the first 1.3 km of the bayou flows through either concrete culverts or a gunite-lined channel. The bayou downstream of this point has earthen banks and a soft mud bottom. Most of the bayou north of SH 225 is tidally influenced to some degree. The bayou is affected by industrial and municipal wastewater discharges and by stormwater runoff from industrial and urban areas.
Project Status and Implementation
Analyses of data collected through April 2001 indicated that water toxicity and dissolved copper no longer exceeded water quality standards due to new limits implemented by dischargers. Those controls will continue, so no TMDL allocations to address water toxicity or dissolved copper were prepared. In September 2002, Patrick Bayou was added to the Superfund National Priority List. Progress in remediating sediment toxicity at the Patrick Bayou Superfund site is available on the EPA's website . The major source of heated-water discharge has closed since the study, and bayou temperatures have not been observed to exceed the temperature criterion since then.
Public Participation
A named-member stakeholder group called the Patrick Bayou TMDL Community Participation Panel advised the TCEQ on this project. The lead organization working with the TMDL Program was a consortium of permittees that discharge to Patrick Bayou. The member organizations are the City of Deer Park, Lubrizol, Oxy Vinyls, Praxair, Rohm and Haas Texas, and Shell Inc. Parsons Water & Infrastructure Inc. performed technical work for the project. The last planned meeting of the Public Participation Panel occurred on August 29, 2002.

YUILE, DAVID, businessman; b. 20 Feb. 1846 in Glasgow, second son and third child of William Pollock Yuile, a wine merchant, and Margaret Rattray; m. 11 June 1878 Margaret King in Montreal, and they had four daughters; d. 21 June 1909 in Baltimore, Md.
Around 1857 David Yuile's family emigrated from Scotland to Ingersoll, Upper Canada, where David attended a local school. In 1869 the family moved to Montreal and David's elder brother, William, became a general merchant there. The following year David joined his brother's firm. They would continue in business as general merchants until the mid 1880s. In the 1870s they also became manufacturers' agents and wholesale druggists. One of the firms they represented was the St Johns Glass Company of Saint-Jean (Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu), Que., a bottle manufacturer established in 1875. The company ceased operations in July 1877 and the following year, on 1 April, its major creditors, William and David Yuile, took it over in exchange for the $2,200 owed them.
By May 1879 the Yuiles had the firm back in operation as the Excelsior Glass Company. The following year, despite incentives from Saint-Jean and neighbouring Iberville to stay in the region, they sold the buildings and land and moved the glassworks, which employed about 200 men, to Montreal. There, they erected two furnaces, one for flint glass, the other for green, and produced prescription bottles, fruit jars, telegraph insulators, and some pressed ware. In 1883, in order to finance further expansion, the firm reorganized, changing its name to the North American Glass Company and increasing its capital to $10,000. Additional property was acquired, extra furnaces were installed, and experienced glassblowers were brought in from England and France.
With David Williamson, secretary-treasurer of North American Glass, Ralph King, a distant cousin of the Yuiles, and John Watt, King's brother-in-law, William and David Yuile formed the Diamond Glass Company Limited in 1890. This new company embarked on an ambitious campaign to dominate the Canadian glass industry. It produced no glass of its own; most of the firms it acquired, beginning with North American Glass, would continue production under their own names. That same year Diamond Glass took over the Nova Scotia Glass Company of New Glasgow, N.S. [see Harvey Graham]. Specializing in tableware, the company had been founded in 1881. Diamond Glass would close the works two years after acquiring it. In 1891, having increased its capital to $500,000, Diamond Glass obtained two glassworks in Ontario, the Hamilton Glass Company, a producer of bottles and telegraph insulators established in 1864, and the Burlington Glass Company, a leading innovator in production techniques, founded in 1874 and taken over by the Hamilton company in 1885. Diamond Glass would operate the Burlington works until 1897 and the Hamilton works until the following year. It is not certain if the Yuiles and their associates were involved in the founding of the Toronto Glass Company Limited in late 1893 by former employees of the Burlington works, but by December 1895 they were directors and shareholders of the Toronto firm and in 1899 Diamond Glass purchased it. During the late 1890s Diamond Glass continued to consolidate its position in the industry, taking over in 1897 the Lamont Glass Company of Trenton, N.S., and the Dominion Glass Company Limited of Montreal [see Joseph Barsalou*].
In order to remain competitive in a market experiencing important technological changes, Diamond Glass needed more capital. On William Yuile's retirement in 1903, a syndicate was organized to purchase Diamond Glass and its subsidiaries for $1,938,309; the group included David Yuile, Norman MacLeod Yuile (William's son), Ralph King and his brother James Watt King, Montreal businessman George Arthur Grier, and Ontario glass manufacturer David Alexander Gordon. The syndicate established a new company, the Diamond Flint Glass Company Limited, of which David Yuile was named secretary-treasurer on 25 February. Seven months later Yuile became president of the company, the largest manufacturer of glass in Canada, employing about 1,000 persons and distributing its wares to all parts of the country. Under his leadership, the enterprise set up the Canadian Glass Manufacturing Company in Montreal and refurbished the abandoned Hamilton works, both for the mechanical production of bottles. In 1906 it purchased exclusive Canadian rights to the Owens automatic bottle machine, which had been invented in Toledo, Ohio, four years earlier. Yuile remained president until his death in 1909. The descendants of the intermarried Yuile and King families would be associated with the company until 1978, through its changes to Dominion Glass Company Limited in 1913 and to Domglas Limited in 1976.
David Yuile was involved in a variety of other manufacturing concerns in the Montreal region. For several years in the mid 1890s he was president of Chanteloup Manufacturing Company Limited, a brass foundry and ironworks. A director of Penman Manufacturing Company Limited, in 1905 he was involved in the merger of several prominent cotton mills to form the Dominion Textile Company [see Sir Charles Blair Gordon*], and was elected president of the new firm, a post he held until his death. He was a member of the Montreal Board of Trade in 1908 and 1909. In 1895 he had joined the Montreal Curling Club.
Yuile's philanthropy was discreet and, for the most part, it was directed towards church-related endeavours. His generous support of the Presbyterian Church's missionary work – he paid the salaries of several missionaries in China and India for many years – was made known only after his death. An elder of Erskine Presbyterian Church in Montreal for over 30 years, he had been president of its missionary society. He was also a Sunday-school teacher and a lay preacher who often brought the gospel to prisoners in the Montreal jail. Yuile was a governor of the Montreal General Hospital and a strong supporter of the Young Men's Christian Association abroad. In June 1909 he travelled to Baltimore to undergo an operation at Johns Hopkins Hospital and died there.

The Mistake That Burned Down London
By the mag
The British Mrs. O'Leary: Thomas Farynor, royal baker to King Charles II of England
His "Cow": His oven, which sparked a fire in the middle of the night on September 1, 1666.
Oops: Around 2 a.m., smoke woke up the Farynor family and their servants in the house above the bakery. Luckily, the entire lot managed to escape—all except for one maid who was too frightened to run and became the fire's first victim. The blaze quickly spread, but surprisingly, the conflagration alarmed almost nobody. People from around the neighborhood crawled out of bed to watch it and, when the mayor of London was brought by later that morning, he declared it small enough that "a woman might piss it out." Yes, that's a direct quote. But by mid-afternoon, the time to extinguish the fire in said manner had passed. Fed by a dry wind and London's seemingly inexhaustible supply of flammable objects, it burned for five days, wiping out some 13,000 homes and razing 80 percent of the city.
Even after the main blaze died down, small fires remained for months afterwards.
But It Wasn't So Bad, Really: For one thing, the hapless Farynors were never held responsible for the fire. In the immediate aftermath, most average Londoners were more interested in blaming Catholic extremists from France. Meanwhile, government authorities were so busy saving random foreigners from impromptu lynch mobs that they had no time to worry about the royal baker. Amazingly, the Great Fire of 1666 (as it became known) did bring about some good—it killed off most of London's rat and flea populations, thus bringing an end to the Great Plague of 1665.

Study: Paywalls Work Better If You Beg
from the but-don't-quit-your-day-job dept
Brian LaSorsa points us to the news of a new joint study by Columbia and Indiana University, indicating that online readers will be slightly more accepting of paywalls if you plead the threat of bankruptcy than if you talk about profit and financial sustainability.
In the post-paywall survey, participants read one of two "justification" paragraphs, one emphasizing a profit motive and one emphasizing financial need (that paragraph concluded, "if the NY Times does not implement digital subscriptions, the likelihood that it will go bankrupt seems high").
Participants then "rated how the information changed their support for the paywall and their willingness to pay." The results showed that "When participants were provided with a compelling justification for the paywall — that the NYT was likely to go bankrupt without it — their support and willingness to pay increased. In contrast, when participants were provided with a justification that emphasized financial stability, their support and willingness to pay decreased."
As we've often noted, paywalls may generate a little bit of revenue, or even brief periods of encouraging success, but they are ultimately not a sustainable business model for online news (though financial news may prove to be a rare exception to this rule). A survey like this one is rather emotionally manipulative, but by ending on that dark note of bankruptcy it demonstrates an important point: readers will only consider paying if they think, even temporarily, that they can't get what they want for free. The more the New York Times or any other newspaper retreats into the shadow of the paywall, the more competitors will provide readers with a compelling option. When they see that financial stability and quality content is possible without a paywall (something they already seem aware of, judging by this study's results) they won't be so willing to provide a financial safety net to old institutions encumbered by legacy costs.
Of course, more importantly, even these swing voters who are hooked by the sob story represent only a small portion of the overall study. Its broader results (from the full paper) are even more illustrative:
Only 7 percent planned to buy or had already purchased a digital subscription. Another 12 percent already had a paper subscription that provided online access and 16 percent were unsure of their response. Of the 65 percent who planned not to pay, 59 percent felt very certain of their response.
Results suggest that price and availability of free news sources were barriers to paying. Most participants rated the paywall as expensive (68 percent), though only 18 percent of those who planned not to pay or were unsure said it was "very true" that they could not afford it. Few (6 percent) thought the price was inexpensive, with about a quarter (26 percent) indicating the price was about right. Participants who planned not to pay or were unsure most commonly planned to stay within the free monthly limit (60 percent), switch to other news sources (44 percent), and use loopholes (39 percent).
Now, the New York Times paywall has performed somewhat better than expected, largely because it's not much of a wall at all, but a study like this just enforces the idea that it's a stop-gap solution at best—and a hindrance to smarter strategies at worst.

KNOXVILLE, TN—According to sources, the man currently purchasing a pair of Nantucket red chinos at a local Banana Republic better be damn well prepared to put his money where his mouth is on this one. "Hey, all I can say is I hope this guy is prepared to go all-in here, because once he buys these pants and puts them on there's no going back," said onlooker Jim Hardy, noting that while it may have taken some chutzpah for the shopper to pick up the red pants and maybe even try them on in a fitting room, he's going to need to sack up big time if he's planning on sporting them to a social gathering, much less to the office. "Let me tell you, if this fucker's not planning on going balls-to-the-wall with a white polo, navy blazer, and a pair of brown loafers with no socks, he better just put those pants back where found 'em, settle on some classic cords, and just move on already. This is the big leagues we're talking about here." At press time, the man had already proven he didn't have the stones by asking the cashier about the store's return policy.
