Roundhead (c. 1760 – October 5, 1813), also known as Bark Carrier, Round Head, Stayeghtha, and Stiahta, was a Native American chief of the Wyandot tribe. He was a strong member of Tecumseh's Confederacy against the United States during the War of 1812 and died alongside Tecumseh at the Battle of the Thames.
Early life
Roundhead was born around 1760 near the Sandusky River in New France (the present-day state of Ohio). However, some sources indicate that he was born later in 1763.[1] He rose to become chief of the Wyandots in the Sandusky area but later moved to Brownstown and joined Tecumseh's anti-American cause. Very little is known about his life before 1810, but this was during a time when various Wyandot clans feuded over their relations with the United States. Prior to 1810, Roundhead was briefly a war chief under Tarhe, who was an ally of the Americans. Roundhead resigned that position and joined with Tecumseh against the Americans during the height of Tecumseh's War.[2] In 1810, Roundhead was chiefly responsible for the execution of his brother and fellow Wyandot chief Leatherlips.[2][3] He was condemned to death by other natives for his desire to cooperate with white settlers.[3][4][5] Not only was Leathlerlips opposed to Tecumseh's Confederacy against the United States, but he had also sold native land to William Henry Harrison.[6] However, it is widely believed that Leatherlips was executed for exaggerated charges of witchcraft to draw attention away from the true political motives.[2] While it is unknown if Roundhead took direct part in the execution of Leatherlips, he did head the council that called for his death, and Roundhead dispatched fellow natives to capture him and carry out the execution.[5]
War of 1812
During the War of 1812, Roundhead was second-in-command only to Tecumseh among Colonel Henry Procter's British forces. He participated in the Battle of Brownstown on August 5, 1812 and the Battle of Maguaga on August 9. After this battle, Tecumseh presented Roundhead with a sash given to him by General Isaac Brock, as Tecumseh claimed it should belong to an older and more skilled warrior.[1][7] Roundhead did not wear the honorable sash, as he did not want to cause jealously among the other war chiefs. A few days later, he helped in the capture of Fort Detroit during the Siege of Detroit on August 15.[8] He then joined up with Major Adam Muir for the British occupation of Fort Miami along the Maumee River in September 1812.[9] He later fought in the Siege of Fort Meigs from April 28–May 9, 1813. Roundhead's brother, Jean-Baptiste, died during this failed siege.[7]
Roundhead's most notable accomplishment during the War of 1812 took place when he fought in the Second Battle of the River Raisin on January 22, 1813. Tecumseh, who did not participate in the battle, gave command of the native forces to Roundhead and fellow Wyandot chief Walk-in-the-Water. They commanded approximately 800 Native Americans along with Henry Procter's 597 British troops against a force of 1,000 Americans. The battle was a tremendous defeat for the Americans, as they were caught off guard in the early hours of the morning. Shortly into the battle, Roundhead was responsible for the capture of ill-prepared American general James Winchester. Having been captured, he was unable to command his troops, and they suffered heavy losses. In addition to that, Roundhead presented Winchester to Procter, and Procter forced Winchester to surrender his army after only a few hours of fighting.[10][11] Following the battle, Roundhead aided in the quick retreat of Procter's troops back into Upper Canada, where Roundhead and Tecumseh met American opposition at the Battle of the Thames.[12]
Both Tecumseh and Roundhead were killed during the Battle of the Thames on October 5, 1813.[3] On Roundhead's death, General Procter wrote in a letter dated October 23, 1813, "The Indian cause and ours experienced a serious loss in the death of Round Head."[9] For years, Roundhead, who was a staunch supporter of Tecumseh, feuded with other Wyandot clans who supported Tarhe's pro-American stance. Once Roundhead and Tecumseh's forces were defeated at the Battle of the Thames, the division between the Wyandot ended, and they began peaceful negotiations with the Americans.[13] To honor Roundhead, the site of his original Wyandot village is now known as the unincorporated community of Roundhead, which was designated in 1832. It is located within Roundhead Township in Hardin County, Ohio.[14]

7 Guidelines for Designers to Become Involved in Strategy
Design has a lot to offer the business world and if the power of design is ever going to be realised it requires us, designers, to build an equal partnership between decision makers and creators.
The designer's skillset
To help take a step closer to this utopia are seven guidelines that can assist designers to realise the strategic significance of their role:
 1. Be thought leader - realise that sometimes you can be thought leader in your organisation.
 2. Be passionate - it's part of your job description, go out on a limb. In being extreme you can be wrong. If you do not have set backs you are not pushing your ideas to the maximum.
 3. Be thorough - do your homework, the key here is research, research, research. Impress people with your careful approach.
 4. Listen widely - ideas can emerge from many places within an organisation. Insights and wisdom can be found in every corner. A designer is there to harvest ideas as well as to generate them.
 5. Think the unthinkable - be willing to question everything, it's necessary to question the status-quo in order to enable change
 6. Win friends - organisations are political, as well as all designs, especially when it can lead to change.
 7. Be flexible - design often require a rapid response to new situations.
Designers bring energy to strategy, they find ways forward. They can enable their organisations to build competitive advantage. Remember in the most part everyone is doing the same, in the same environment, design can react to a changing environment and deliver value quickly, keeping your organisation in the lead.

Soluble iron sulfide species in natural waters: reappraisal of their stoichiometry and stability constants.
Research output: Contribution to journalJournal article
Issue number1
Number of pages21
Pages (from-to)23-43
Original languageEnglish
A wide range of stoichiometries has been previously proposed for soluble iron sulfide species and there is no general agreement on their importance in natural waters. The solubility of Fe(II) in 0.1 M NaClO4 equilibrated at 20 - 0.1°C with various partial pressures of H2S (0.1, 0.001, 0.0001, 0.00001 MPa) was measured in the pH range 3.1-7.9. Equilibrium was established within 1-6 h when amorphous FeS was the solid phase. The results could all be fitted using values for the solubility product constant (I = 0) of p*Ks = 3.00 - 0.12 and of the stability constant for a soluble Fe(HS) 2 species (I = 0) of p#2 = -6.45 - 0.12 where *Ks = aFe2+ · aHS-/aH+ and #2 = aFe(HS) 2/aFe2+ · (aHS-)2. Any soluble species of the form Fex (HS) 2x where x = &gif1; would fit the data equally well. Measurements at different partial pressures are inconsistent with labile species of the form FexSx. There was no evidence for a Fe(HS) + species. When a solution is saturated with respect to amorphous FeS, Fe(HS) 2 will only be a significant proportion of Fe(II) when S(-II) is higher than 0.2mmoll-1. The constants for Fe(HS) 2 or Fex (HS) 2x (x S 2) are consistent with all freshwater data where constant values of measured ion activity products provide no evidence for soluble complex formation. For marine waters with high sulfide concentrations (S 6mmol l-1), measured concentrations of Fe(II) are consistent with there being negligible soluble iron sulfide. The data are better fitted if the dissolved species are polymeric as predicted concentrations of the monomer Fe(HS) 2 are significant. These findings suggest that rather than the dissolved species being Fe(HS) 2, it is probably polymeric, that is Fex (HS) 2x (x S 2).

During Partitions of Poland, Zbaraz was a part of Austro-Hungarian Empire and there weren't good railway connections between Galician towns and those at Russian side, also because of different breadth of rails.
This way I believe your grandmother could use the railway connection between Tarnopol and Krakow, which was part of Galician Railway of Archduke Charles Louis. And from there she could take another train going through Kielce to Warsaw, as from what I know, that was the easiest way.
You can see the possible route on the linked map, which shows the state of connections in 1897. Here's its smaller version:
As for the next part, between Warsaw and Gdansk, this map of German railways in 1899 can provide some details:
The main differences that could change the possible way after 1899 were the development of Russian railways in the first decade of 20th century and the overall development and changes in railways during the World War I.
Still, take in mind that when the war finished, there were only a few rail connections between areas of Poland that were previously parts of different empires. So it was much easier to go by train from Polish town to another country than to another Polish town.
It's possible that she didn't take the train from Warsaw, as many Polish peasants who tried to emigrate were crossing the border illegally, paying the bribe, which was was much easier on smaller routes. With the help of Google you can translate this post from Polish genealogy board speaking about Polish emigration to USA in the end of 19th century, which covers this subject among others.
Of course it could look pretty different in the times of World War I.
Also are you sure about Gdansk? Because at the same article it's written that at the end of 19th century the main ports from which Poles were leaving to USA were Bremen, Antwerp and Hamburg.
EDIT: I've found the following map, showing ports from which emigrants from another Galician town, Świlcza, were coming to New York between 1897 and 1924. As we can see, there's also Gdansk on the list, even if the numbers show it was much less popular option.
More details at the linked website in Polish language.
You should also read another website, containing local press articles in which Galician citizens write about their road to USA. The first one (1902) was written by journalist who focuses on the ship itself, but the more interesting is the second relation (1903), describing how emigrants from Galicia were treated in Germany on their way in trains and in the ports.
And third press article, from 1890, describing relations from port in Bremmen, how Polish emigrants were treated. I suppose it would be similar in Gdansk.
And finally the book by Martin Pollack, "Ceasar of America", describing Galician emigration to USA before 1918. Originally it's in German, it was translated to Polish and it's possible that to English too.

text: Turbulent combustion involves many interdependent variables evolving over a wide range of length and time scales. Due to the tremendous computational cost required to solve equations for all of these variables over all relevant length scales, reduced-order models are required for predictive simulations of engineering systems. Common approaches to reduced-order combustion modeling include physically-informed methods of dimension reduction, such as Flamelet Generated Manifolds (FGM) and the Flamelet/Progress Variable model (FPV), and, more recently, data-driven dimension reduction, such as Principal Component Analysis (PCA). While the accuracy of both approaches has been previously assessed, they have not been directly compared or used in conjunction with one another. To this end, this work examines both how insights from physically-derived reduced-order manifolds (PDROM) can be used to benchmark data-driven approaches and how the data-driven approaches can be used to validate the assumptions of PDROM models, using data from Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS) of premixed and nonpremixed turbulent flames and from one-dimensional flame calculations. PCA assumes a linear structure and therefore cannot achieve as large of a dimension reduction as PDROM while maintaining accuracy. While nonlinear dimension-reduction methods perform similarly to PDROM, these methods suffer from a lack of physical interpretability that would make implementation impractical. However, the data-driven approaches are successfully used to assess the critical assumptions of the physical models, with the similarity of principal components between different data sets validating structural similarity between the DNS and one-dimensional flame data.

DEFINITION of 'Addendum'
An attachment to an a document such as an insurance policy that changes the original policy conditions, either to include or exclude coverage. The addendum becomes part of the legal contract.
In insurance, endorsement is an addendum attached to the original policy that alters or replaces the previous provisions.
In real estate purchase agreements, an addendum is a document containing any changes or modifications negotiated in the original lease. Usually, an addendum is attached to the signed lease, as a part of the lease, and describes financing terms and property inspection requirements.
For contracts, if the addendum alters a contract, which has already been signed by all parties, it is known as an amendment.

Ryan, Desmond Michael (1997) Electronic states and optical properties of quantum well heterostructures with strain and electric field effects. Doctoral thesis, Durham University.
The aim of this work was to develop an envelope function method to calculate the electronic states and optical properties of complex quantum well heterostructures, and to demonstrate its effectiveness by application to some device structures of topical interest. In particular, structures have been considered which might form the basis of intensity modulators and polarization insensitive amplifier devices for light at a wavelength of 1.55 µm. The modulator structures considered all have the general form of two coupled quantum wells of different widths as the active region. The application of an electric field in the growth direction is intended to result in a shift in the energy and spatial localisation of the confined states and produce an increase in the absorption coefficient at longer wavelengths than the zero field absorption edge. The effectiveness of certain structures is examined in terms of field induced absorption increase at 1.55 µm. A system which shows a significant increase in absorption coefficient at this wavelength on application of a practical electric field has been identified as a possible candidate for an intensity modulator. In the case of the amplifier, the active region of the most promising structure considered consists of a stepped well which comprises two layers, one with tensile and one with compressive strain. It is known that the presence of the two oppositely strained layers can result in the TE and TM gain peaks appearing at similar photon energies. Our calculations show that a suitable choice of strain and layer widths can result in a small or zero difference between the TE and TM gains at 1.55 µm, which can be important for the polarization insensitive operation of devices in optical communications applications. In order to predict the optical properties of quantum well devices it is necessary to calculate the electron and hole states for a range of in-plane wavevectors. The calculations developed and carried out in this work are based on a multi-layer (eight band) k.p model including strain effects. The interfacial boundary conditions which result from approximations to Burt's exact envelope function theory are included in the model. The effect of an electric field is modelled by including a potential energy term in each layer Hamiltonian which is equal to the average energy shift across the layer in question due to the presence of the field. The model has been developed with flexibility in mind and has applications beyond the specific devices considered in this thesis.

Hey, this is pretty cool! Here's inventor Bram Knaapen's Arduino-powered Equinox Clock, which ditches the traditional hands interface in favor of customizable LED displays. Inside, a video that demonstrates the Equinox Clock's main features, and an overview of its specs.
Here's the demo video:
And, courtesy Knaapen's web site, here are some specs:
For people interested in how the Equinox clock was made a short description:
The most important parts:
Arduino Mini Pro
USB-Serial converter
12x TLC5940PWP (SMD) Led drivers
DS1307 + battery to keep track of time
Loads of circuitboards (12 black ones and 60 white ones)
The clock works like this: In the bottom of the clock (behind the infinity symbol) is an arduino mini Pro. The Arduino is connected to the first of a total of 12 black circuitboards. These black circuitboards all have a TLC5940PWP led driver. By using Molex picoflex cables and connectors I daisy-chained 12 of these led drivers. Every black circuitboard has 5 connectors for the white LED circuitboards. Behind the infinity symbol is a touch sensitive wire (capacitive) that enables to cycle through different colors or turn it off. That's roughly it for the electronics! The body was laser cut, assembled and spray painted, the plexiglass blocks were sandblasted. The software is pretty straight forward. The arduino receives the current time from the DS1307 and calculates the color palette according to the time of day using HSV color space.

In a typical MySQL installation, the default character set and collation are latin1 and latin1_swedish_ci. This means that all string comparisons will be performed in a case insensitive manner. So, 'Search String'='search string'. This is great for most WHERE expressions, however there are occasions where performing a case-sensitive search is required. Luckily MySQL provides the collate clause which allows you to override whatever the default collation is for a comparison. As an example :
select * from mytable where first_name collate latin1_general_cs='damon'
This will only return rows will the first_name matches damon exactly. Damon will not match.
You can also use latin1_bin which performs an exact binary match.
If you are unsure of a field or strings collation, you can use the COLLATION(str) function to return the collation of the string argument.

Did you know we offer the ability to add custom code snippets needed for third party tracking, e.g. Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Facebook Event Manager, etc. to your event registration pages? This is especially beneficial for those of you who have paid advertising campaigns because it allows you to track your ROI (return on investment). Here's how to track conversions from Facebook, using their Facebook Pixel.
To create the Facebook Pixel code snippet*:
 1. To create the code snippet, follow the steps in this article: How to Use Facebook Pixel. We'll walk you through an example below.
 2. Copy the entire pixel code generated.
 3. In a new tab, log into your Team Sports Admin account.
 4. Click MY ACCOUNT from the main menu.
 5. Scroll down to Site Setup and click Custom Tracking Code.
 6. Paste the code to the Header section.
 7. Switch back to your Facebook tab.
 8. Click Continue.
 9. Next, you'll need to choose the event you'd like to track. We'll use Complete Registration for this example.
 10. Select Complete Registration making sure to use Track Event on Page Load and Send Event Parameters if you want to assign a value for your conversion.
 11. Click Send Event Parameters.
 12. Add in the price of your event for the Conversion Value (this is the amount you want to track when a user successfully registers for your event). If you running multiple events and want to track revenue, we will also dynamically send the amount the user paid to this script. You will just need to add the following line to the resulting conversion snippet (step 14):
 value: {event_price}
 13. Leave Currency blank. Or we will pull the currency dynamically, which you can access by adding the following line to your snippet of code:
 currency: {event_currency}
 14. Here's an example of the resulting code that's generated, which you can use yourself and skip all the steps above. This example uses the dynamically generated amount paid on registration and the currency:
 fbq('track', 'CompleteRegistration', {
 value: {event_price},
 currency: {event_currency}
 15. Copy the resulting code to clipboard.
 16. Switch back to your Team Sports Admin Custom Tracking Code tab and paste this code to the Successful Event Registration section.
 17. Click Update Code
 18. As a best practice, we would recommend using the Pixel Helper extension for Chrome to test this. Here is the link to install it: _URL_
Please Note: We've added the URL's for each step of the registration process to the Custom Code Tracking page, so you can set up custom conversions for separate events as needed. You would do exactly what you already did above, where you use the unique event id for each step in the registration funnel you want to track e.g. "/signup?camp_id=MjM2OA==".
*Because these are controlled by 3rd parties, these instructions may change, and we are only able to offer limited support. However, as always, if you have a questions please let us know and we will do our best to help!

Partial sums of excursions along random geodesics.
Gadre, V (University of Warwick)
Tuesday 17 June 2014, 11:30-12:30
Seminar Room 2, Newton Institute Gatehouse
In the theory of continued fractions, Diamond and Vaaler showed the following strong law: for almost every expansion, the partial sum of first n coefficients minus the largest coefficient divided by n \log n tends to a limit. We will explain how this generalizes to non-uniform lattices in SL(2, R) with cusp excursions in the quotient hyperbolic surface generalizing continued fraction coefficients. The general theorem relies on the exponential mixing of geodesic flow, in particular on the fast decay of correlations due to Ratner. Analogously, similar theorems are true for the moduli space of Riemann surfaces.
We'll get it fixed as soon as possible.

I was trying to figure out how to create a word that's not a word. What I ended up doing was creating a way of generating a random syllable, and then simply appending 2 or 3 of them together. It seems to work well enough. Here's what I got in Python:
import random vowels = ["a", "e", "i", "o", "u"] consonants = ['b', 'c', 'd', 'f', 'g', 'h', 'j', 'k', 'l','m', 'n', 'p', 'q', 'r','s', 't', 'v', 'w', 'x', 'y', 'z'] def _vowel(): return random.choice(vowels) def _consonant(): return random.choice(consonants) def _cv(): return _consonant() + _vowel() def _cvc(): return _cv() + _consonant() def _syllable(): return random.choice([_vowel, _cv, _cvc])() def create_fake_word(): """ This function generates a fake word by creating between two and three random syllables and then joining them together. """ syllables = for x in range(random.randint(2,3)): syllables.append(_syllable()) return "".join(syllables) if __name__ == "__main__": print create_fake_word()
The first four functions are for generating an individual type of syllable (V, CV, or CVC) and then _syllable() just chooses one of them at random. Finally, create_fake_word() calls _syllable() a few times and joins them together. Here is some example output:

I haven't a clue whether or not there is a better means of generating words that look somewhat real. If you know of a better method, I'd love to hear it!

Water Project H2Ooooh! is a TV-series of 3D cartoon animations that were created based on story boards developed by Italian schools. In 2010 this initiative was devised by Gruppo Alcuni in collaboration with the UNESCO Venice Office and Rai Fiction.
With "Water Project H2Ooooh!" 6,000 students ages 6 to 16 from 280 Italian schools were actively engaged to create a storyboard (or in other words a series of drawings representing the main scenes of a cartoon) on the theme of water and the issues related to its use, to its exploitation and to its limited supply. The schools took part in an educational course which included videos, books, etc which on the one hand allowed children to learn about the creation of animated cartoons and on the other hand it also encouraged a greater understanding of the situation related to water resources in our world today.
The project has been carried out during the 2008-2009 and 2009-2010 school years and was aimed at all teachers open to participating in a creative activity on the theme of water and science with their Primary or early Secondary school classes. The result is a 3-D animated television series in English and Italian (Italian subtitles) with six Pet Pals as main characters focusing on the issue of water protection, which has been broadcast on the public national broadcaster Rai Due in May and June 2010.


Take the 2-minute tour ×
In Rautenberg's book (A Concise Introduction to Mathematical Logic, Universitext, Springer 2006), Gödel's second incompleteness theorem is stated:
Theorem 3.2 (Second incompleteness theorem). PA satisfies alongside the fixed-point lemma also D1–D3. For every theory T with these properties,
(1) $\nvdash_T Con_T$ provided T is consistent,
(2) $\vdash_T Con_T \to \neg\square Con_T$
where, at the beginning of the chapter, he defines:
Let ${\bf bew_T} (y, x)$ be a formula that is assumed to represent the recursive predicate ${\it bew_T}$ in T, exactly as in 6.4. For ${\bf bwb_T} (x) = ∃y {\bf bew_T} (y, x)$ we write $ \square (x)$, and $\square α$ is to mean ${\bf bwb_T} (\ulcorner α \urcorner )$.
and also:
D1: $\vdash_T \alpha \implies \space \vdash_T \square \alpha $
D2: $\vdash_T \square \alpha \wedge \square (\alpha \rightarrow \beta )\rightarrow \square \beta $
D3: $\vdash_T \square \alpha \rightarrow \square \square \alpha $
T = ZFC also satisfies these conditions (and indeed he mentions it).
from this it seems that the theorem is true for every representing formula for the theory T and for every representing formula for the predicate ${\it bew_T}$. on the other hand, there is this:
Formalize logic inside ZFC in the usual way, and for every relevand object o (term, formula, proof, etc) assign the corresponding object $\ulcorner o \urcorner $ in the usual way (so if $\phi$ is a formula in the metatheory, $\ulcorner \phi \urcorner $ is indeed a formula in the logic inside ZFC). Order formulas by their internal Gödel number (which, for formulas that come from the metatheory, it is equal to their real Gödel number...). let $t_1(x)$ be arbitrary representing formula for ZFC (e.g the most natural one, arising when formalizing first order logic inside ZFC and then formalizing the axioms of ZFC inside ZFC). let ${\bf bew_1}(y,x)$ be the formula for "y is a proof of x in ZFC" the theorem should indeed work for these. now, let ${\bf bew}(y,x,z) $ be the formula for "y is a proof of x in the theory z" and let ${\bf bwb}(x,z) $ and ${\bf Con}(z) $ be "x is provable from z" and "z is consistent" as formalized in ZFC. define:
$t_2(x) = t_1(x) \wedge {\bf Con}(\{y : t_1(y) \wedge G(y) \leq G(x)\})$. where G(x) is the Gödel number of x inside ZFC.
for every model of ZFC, the internal formulas x for which G(x) is standard are exactly those x which are $\ulcorner \phi \urcorner $ for some $\phi$ in the metatheory, and so, by the reflection theorem for ZFC, ${\bf Con}(\{y : t_1(y) \wedge G(y) \leq G(\ulcorner \phi \urcorner)\})$ for every $\phi$ in the metatheory.
therefore, since $t_1$ is representable, so is $t_2$.
on the other hand, if we let $ZFC_2 := \{x : t_2(x) \}$, clearly $ \vdash_{ZFC} {\bf Con}(ZFC_2) $ but ${\bf Con}(ZFC_2) $ is exactly the same as ${\bf Con}_{ZFC} $ if we use $t_2(x)$ and the corresponding (naturally defined) ${\bf bew} (y, x)$!
it may indeed be that I messed up my argument some, but I'm quite sure it works, i.e that the "incompleteness property" depends on the choice of representing formulas for the theory in question and/or the ${ \it bew}$ predicate, and that one can chose them to yield $\vdash_{ZFC} Con_{ZFC}$.
thus, my questions: first: am I right (in the last paragraph at least)?
second: if so, why and where exactly does the proof of the second incompleteness theorem fail in these cases?
third: how exactly does these dependencies work? specifiaclly : in my argument I have used a different representation for ZFC. does the same can happen if one uses the natural representation for ZFC, but a different representation for ${ \it bew}$, or, given a representation for ZFC, all representations for ${ \it bew}$ are equal in a way?

So on the one hand, we have the usual assertion $\Con(\ZFC)$, which asserts that $\ZFC$ is consistent using a straightforward representation of the $\ZFC$ axioms, and then on the other hand, we have as with your $t_2$ the alternative assertion $\Con(\ZFC_2)$, using a representation of the $\ZFC$ that only continues to add axioms provided that the resulting theory remains consistent. So we can easily prove in a very weak theory that $\Con(\ZFC_2)$ holds, and this seems paradoxical because our two different theories seem both to be representing the same theory $\ZFC$.
This way of thinking goes back to S. Feferman, Arithmetization of metamathematics, Fundamenta Mathematicae, 1960, who discussed intensional and extensional consistency statements, and it was discussed previously here on MO on Sergei Tropanets question Clarification of Gödel's second incompleteness theorem, and also Marc Alcobé García's question Feferman's extensional and intensional applications of the method of arithmetization, which you may find helpful.
Part of the resolution of the paradox is to realizing that $\ZFC$ does not prove the equivalence of the two different consistency statements, and in particular, $\ZFC$ does not prove that the two representations of $\ZFC$ represent the same theory. Although a weak theory such as $\text{PA}$ can prove $\Con(\ZFC_2)$, it cannot prove that the theory as represented in $\ZFC_2$ includes much of substance at all.

Should there be a crucifix in the sanctuary?
Full Question
Our church has a large cross with a figure of the risen Christ attached but no crucifix. Even the processional cross has the risen Christ. Shouldn't there be a crucifix near the altar?
The General Instruction of the Roman Missal instructs that there must be a cross (with a crucified corpus) on or near the altar, "positioned either on the altar or near it, and... clearly visible to the people gathered there" (GIRM 308). In the case where a crucifix is not in the sanctuary, the processional cross with the figure of Christ crucified upon it would be an option.

A white canopy bed has a bed head, or a tester, with high posts on every corner at least four feet tall which supports a retractable cloth cover. Still found in many homes today and popular in resorts and hotels for their romantic attraction. The term canopy dates from the 14th century of France. French word canopy meaning bed curtain back to the Latin word canopied and anterior to it, from the Greek konopeion, the couch with the mosquito curtain. It all comes from conops, mosquitoes or mosquitoes.
Considered today as elegant, White canopy bed has its origins really ordinary and mediocre. It may interest you to know that the canopy bed evolved from the box bed, the usual wooden box wrapped around the bed. The early houses of the Middle Ages lacked insulation that could really provide warmth and protection. The houses in those days were made of wicker and pelleted with thatched roofs. The doors and windows provide obstructions that interfere with the wind.
12 Picture Gallery: The Origin of White Canopy Bed
They only filter the snow from the wind as it passes the house. It was so cold that even if you were wrapped in bed with a pile of blankets it was not too warm. With this need, a bed box with a closing door is designed. Indeed, it is helpful to withstand the wind from the bed because the actual bed is inside a wooden box thus, maintaining warm air all around. That's the article about White canopy bed.

Raymond Loewy: Google Doodle celebrates 120th birthday of the 'father of industrial design'
Loewy is widely considered to have revolutionized his industry creating product designs for everything from refrigerators to cars and spacecraft
Google has marked the 120th birth anniversary of industrial designer Raymond Loewy.
He is widely considered to have revolutionized the industry creating product designs for everything from refrigerators to cars, cigarette packets and spacecraft.
He also designed logos for Exxon and Shell as well as the former BP logos. He was also responsible for the design of the Coca-Cola vending machines and the iconic Greyhound Scenicruiser bus.
Loewy, considered by many to be the father of industrial design, was born in Paris on November 5, 1893.
Whilst serving in the army during the first World War he was injured and boarded a ship to America in 1919. Loewy claimed to have made the trip to America with only his French officer's uniform and $50 in his pocket.
After initially working as a window designer for department stores, and as an illustrator for for Vogue and Harper's Bazaar, he received his first industrial design commission in 1929.
His first commission was from Sigmund Gestetner, a British manufacturer of duplicating machines, who called on Loewy to improve the appearance of a mimeograph machine. Further commissions followed before in the mid-1930s he opened a London office that continues to operate to this day.
The work of his design firm was said to be so prolific that Loewy once declared: "the average person, leading a normal life, whether in the country, a village, a city, or a metropolis, is bound to be in daily contact with some of the things, services, or structures in which R.L.A [Raymond Loewy Associates] was a party during the design or planning stage."
Among his main clients was the Pennsylvania Railroad, for whom he designed passenger locomotives, developing a distinctive shroud design for K4s Pacific #3768 to haul his newly redesigned 1938 Broadway Limited. He also had a strong relationship with the US car maker Studebaker, among many others.
Today's doodle shows a locomotive bearing a resemblance to the K4s Pacific #3768 shroud design.
It uses the wheels of the train to form the word Google.


The U.S. Army conducted experiments with biological weapons on Taiwan and the Japanese island of Okinawa at the beginning of the 1960s, according to U.S. documents revealed Sunday by the Kyodo news agency.
In the tests, which were undertaken at least 12 times in _PHONE_, the fungus Magnaporthe grisea was sprayed on rice fields to see how it affected production, the documents say.
The U.S. government earlier had revealed details of other experiments with chemical and biological weapons in Puerto Rico, as well as in the states of Hawaii and Utah.
Japan's Okinawa archipelago was under U.S. control until 1972 and currently it houses more than half of the roughly 48,000 troops the United States keeps on Japanese territory, and 20 percent of the main island's territory is U.S. military terrain.
According to Kyodo, it is believed that the United States was developing agents that would damage rice cultivation with an eye toward potentially attacking China or Southeast Asia.
The U.S. government put an end to its chemical and biological weapons program in 1969.
The documents obtained by Kyodo mention locations such as the cities of Nago and Siri, both in Okinawa prefecture, but it is not known if the experiments were carried out on the U.S. military bases in the area or on civilian territory.
The army used different amounts of the chemical agents on different rice fields so as to measure their effect on crop cultivation, the document says.
Another document specifies that tests using wheat stem rust and the abovementioned fungus on rice were performed in different areas of the U.S. Midwest and South and in Okinawa with partial success in terms of the "useful information" gleaned from them. EFE

The default hanging indent value (i.e., how far in the text begins) isn't wide enough for the 3-digit numbers. (Default seems to be for the number itself to be indented 0.25", and the following text indented 0.5", which leaves only 0.25" for the number.) When it's not wide enough, then, Word has to move the hanging text over to the next tab stop.
You can fix this as follows: select the entire numbered list, right-click and select Adjust List Indents, and then set Number position and Text indent to whatever you want.

College of Communication > Academics > Graduate Programs > Independent Study & Experiential Learning
Graduate students in the College of Communication are permitted to take a maximum of 8 credits worth of independent study/experiential learning courses. These courses include:
Independent study is an opportunity for high-achieving students with substantial training in a communication subspecialty to individually shape a course of study with a faculty expert. An independent study is not a substitute for regular curricular offerings, a way around requirements or a schedule alternative for students unwilling to accommodate the timetable of a needed course. Independent study is an avenue for continued learning if a student possesses the initiative and discipline to structure and pursue a course of study on fairly independent terms.
If you are interested in conducting an independent study, please consult with your program director before proceeding.
STEP 1: Student must submit an independent study request form and an independent study proposal. The independent study proposal will contain as a minimum the following provisions:
This proposal will serve as the course syllabus and it can be referred to in cases of grade challenges. Only changes mutually agreeable to student and instructor are permissible and then such arrangements must be in place in writing and signed by both parties.
STEP 2: The independent study request form must be signed and approved by your faculty advisor and graduate program director before being submitted. If approved, you will be registered for the appropriate independent study course (CMNS 592, HTHC 592, JOUR 592, MCS 592, PRAD 592).
STEP 3: Please submit your signed, completed independent study form and proposal to:
College of CommunicationGraduate Independent Studies14 E. Jackson Blvd., Suite 1814
Please submit your independent study form and proposal by the following dates:
The research practicum is an opportunity for high-achieving students with substantial training in a communication subspecialty to connect with a faculty expert. Students will train in a specialized communication research method and/or achieve hands-on practice in conducting scholarly research.
The research practicum may take various forms. For example, the student may become part of an ongoing research project led by the faculty member, and the research practicum would provide an opportunity for the student to apply previously studied research methods to the research project. Typical activities include data gathering, data analysis, interpretation of results, and writing research reports.
If the student wants to learn about a particular research method practiced by the faculty expert but not available in a regular graduate course offering, then the research practicum could be a course of study focusing on specialized research method(s) with agreed upon readings and assignments.
STEP 1: Student must submit a research practicum request form and a research practicum proposal. The research practicum proposal will contain the following provisions:
STEP 2: The form must be signed and approved by your faculty advisor and graduate program director before being submitted. If approved by the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs, you will then be registered for the graduate research practicum course.

How did the Rennaissance encourage the spirit of individuality and the capability of humans to think?

The Renaissance did this through things like art, literature, and later through science.
Looking at art, we can see that during the Renaissance artists came to cultivate their own styles. During the Middle Ages, art had tended to be fairly uniform, with the emphasis on the religious subject of the art. In the Renaissance, art continued to be religious in many cases, but it started to look very carefully at the human individual (think of how individual and well-portrayed the people in Michelangelo's paintings are) and it started to be done in individualistic styles. This sort of thing would have encouraged people to think of themselves in more individualistic terms. So would the writings of people like Petrarch and Dante. These ideas were then taught in the new schools that focused on humanism in education. Eventually, they led to the scientific revolution that really brought individuals' abilities to think and reason to the fore.

AGP - Safeguarding: an interim step
Safeguarding: an interim step
Once the inventory of existing stocks has been taken and environmental risk assessments made, the country can prepare a comprehensive project proposal for the elimination of its obsolete pesticides.
Unfortunately, it can often take a long time for international assistance to arrive. While a country is seeking and awaiting external assistance, it can do a lot to prepare for the cleanup operation and reduce its costs.
Authorities should stabilize the sites to reduce risks to the public and to prevent environmental contamination. Generally, this involves the:
 - repackaging of products in leaking and deteriorated containers;
 - clean-up of spills; and
 - packaging of contaminated materials.
All this work should be done under expert supervision by trained personnel using appropriate protective measures and handling procedures. Remember that pesticides hare hazardous chemicals and when they are leaking or held in old, deteriorating containers, the risk of exposure is significantly increased.
Ideally, the obsolete pesticides should be removed for disposal immediately after repackaging. However, if funds are still not available, it will be necessary to store the repacked pesticides. If the repackaged stocks can be transported safely, it's often best to consolidate the stocks in a single centralized location. This makes it easier to inspect the stocks and disposal operations.

Lattice Engines announced commencement of a private beta for its Atlas Customer Data Platform (CDP). Lattice Atlas matches internal and Lattice Engines data sources, provides a single view of the customer, and supports a centralized audience platform for cross-channel creation and measurement. The formal launch is planned for the end of the year.
According to Lattice Engines, "Marketing organizations struggle to scale their Account-Based Marketing (ABM) programs because each application they deploy has its own data, segmentation, activation and measurement modules. This has led to a fractured buyer journey because banner ads, social ads, emails and sales calls communicate different messages, which creates confusion. Lattice Atlas solves this problem directly by integrating all the application data into a single place and providing the ability to manage this data, segment on it, and activate it through open APIs."
"A CDP connects existing systems to create a unified customer view that makes ABM possible. In a world that never stops changing, the power and flexibility of a CDP will help marketers deliver on the promise of ABM. The features you need in a Customer Data Platform (CDP) will depend on your business, existing systems, and intended use. There are a few key considerations when evaluating CDP solutions for executing ABM programs, including a unification of all data sources, segment creation, campaign execution and predictions."
- David Raab, founder of the CDP Institute
Lattice contends that ABM at scale requires a CDP supporting four key attributes:
- Unified Customer Data: After aggregating and consolidating customer data, a CDP must link identity, behavior, purchase history, and firmographics.
- AI-driven Audiences: The CDP must not only score accounts and contacts, but identify buying committees, assess buying stage, and recommend the next-best offer.
- Omnichannel Activation and Personalization: The CDP suggests highly personalized campaigns across relevant channels. The messaging must remain consistent across all of the channels.
- Enterprise Grade Governance: The CDP maintains data security and privacy while complying with relevant laws such as GDPR.
Lattice Atlas aggregates client data across platforms and appends it with data from the Lattice Data Cloud. First-party content is gathered from CRM, marketing automation, web visitor logs, transaction histories, product usage details, etc. The Lattice Data Cloud enriches the customer view with firmographics, intent data, and technographics. Lattice also maintains an ABM Identity Graph which organizes customer data by account, buying center, and contact.
"Lattice Atlas was a natural evolution of our platform," blogged VP of Products Chitrang Shah. "Since day 1, our approach has focused on being deeply integrated with each execution application and managing all data under one platform. Because of this we not only capture the largest amount of data, but also all that relevant metadata that describes it. Lattice Atlas is built on our understanding of these applications and their data to create the first CDP for enabling ABM at scale."
Audience creation tools predict conversion likelihood, purchase window, and likely spend. Atlas also supports next-best targets and next-best actions.
Lattice Atlas connectors support Marketo, Eloqua, Salesforce, and a set of REST APIs.
Other features include GDPR opt out for campaigns and all marketing communications, engagement thresholds to prevent marketing fatigue, and lead-to-account mapping.
The initial Atlas application will be Playmaker which offers prescriptive recommendations to sales teams. "Playmaker lets them quickly identify top products to sell across all audiences and programmatically deliver those recommendations to the sales teams," said Shah. "It also has built-in interactive dashboard to track the engagements (or lack of it) and its impact on the pipeline, enabling out-of-the-box visibility into play ROI measurements and the ways to improve it."
"The holy grail of B2B marketing is creating 1-to-1 experiences across the entire buyer's journey. This is why the B2B world is so interested in ABM these days. In order to craft personalized experiences at scale, our customers need a data foundation to better understand their target audiences, and an execution platform to engage those audiences in meaningful ways. With Lattice Atlas, we now enable companies to engage their buyers with 1-to-1 omnichannel experiences, making B2B marketing as personalized as B2C marketing," said Lattice Engines CEO Shashi Upadhyay.
Lattice has over 200 customers including PayPal, Adobe, Dell, and SunTrust Bank.

Red-light traffic fatalities reach a 10-year high
Red-light traffic fatalities reach a 10-year high
When you pull up to a stoplight in Pennsylvania, you may notice other motorists using their phones, talking to other passengers or otherwise not paying attention to the road. This is a common problem across Pennsylvania, and so much so that the state ranks ninth in the nation in terms of the number of people killed by red-light runners between 2008 and 2017.
According to the Pocono Record, Pennsylvania saw 215 road deaths attributed to red-light runners within that span. The uptick in road deaths linked to red-light runners is also a national problem. The nationwide number of associated traffic fatalities has reached its highest number in a decade.
National fatality statistics
On the national level, about half of all people killed by motorists who ran red lights were not the people who blew through the red lights. The offending drivers died in about 35% of these fatal crashes, while another 5% were pedestrians or cyclists attempting to navigate signaled intersections. The remainder of red-light related road deaths involved the drivers or passengers in other vehicles and not those who ran the red lights.
Pennsylvania fatality statistics
Of the 251 people who died in Pennsylvania because of red-light runners between 2008 and 2017, 91 of them were the negligent drivers. Another 105 deaths involved people traveling in other vehicles, and 23 of those deaths involved pedestrians or cyclists.
Safety tips
Abiding by traffic signals helps you stay safe to some extent. However, there are other steps to consider taking to lower your chances of involvement in a crash with a red-light runner. Tap your brakes a few times when approaching a signaled intersection to catch the attention of drivers behind you. Also, take a moment after a light turns green before proceeding into an intersection.

When Less Is More: 3 Reasons Why Smaller Arrangements Can Make Your Tracks Sound Bigger
Everyone wants their studio tracks to sound "huge." In an effort to achieve "hugeness," many of us follow the obvious path of adding more and more things to our arrangements. If two guitars sound big, then four guitars should sound even bigger, right?
While this makes sense in principle, the results can be paradoxical; often what we achieve by adding more elements to a track isn't a bigger sound but a smaller one.
How does this work? Here are a few examples of some situations when removing elements from your tracks can lead to a fuller sound.
1. Phasing
If you've spent any time in a recording studio, you've probably heard a lot of talk about phase issues. Phase issues arise when two or more similar sound sources hit a microphone or a set of speakers at slightly different times (slightly being the operative word). Rather than sounding delayed or out of time, a sound that's out of phase will sound thin or filtered.
Say, for example, you have a kick drum that sounds nice and full on its own, but that's lacking in high-end energy. A common way to solve this problem would be to add a sampled kick drum with more high-end sound on top of the existing kick track. Both of these tracks might sound great independently, but when you play them together, suddenly your kick sounds weak and thin.
If this happens, it's likely because the two kick-drum sounds are out of phase with each other. To fix this, you may have to either flip the polarity of one of your tracks, or manually line up the transients to make sure they start at the exact same time.
This same issue can come in to play with other types of doubled tracks such as doubled guitars. Turn that into tripled or quadrupled guitars and you've got all sorts of potential phase issues on your hands.
While you may be able to fix phase problems during mixing, an easier way to achieve a fuller sound may be to simply cut back on the number of doubled tracks you use.
2. Masking
While phase issues are common with doubled instruments, masking issues arise when you have a number of instruments or sounds that are fighting for the same space in the frequency spectrum. For example, your vocal track might sound great when you play it in solo, but when you add in your guitars, piano, synths, drums, and other instruments, your vocal track loses its clarity.
The problem is that you have too many sounds occupying a similar frequency range. While you may be able to use some EQ to create more clarity between these sounds, a more effective way to create clarity is simply to remove tracks that are too close to each other sonically.
Then, rather than having a bunch of tracks that sound great on their own but get all muddied up when you add them together, you'll be left with a smaller number of tracks that still sound great on their own but also sound great when you put them together. After all, no one cares what tracks sound like in solo anyway.
3. Dynamics
Whoever said, "There can be no light without darkness" probably didn't have music production in mind when they said it, but the quote certainly applies in this context. Simply put, if every part of your song is big and loud and full, then it'll cease to sound big and loud and full and will instead sound small and quiet and thin.
Why? Because in order for something to sound big, there needs to be a contrast between the big parts and the small parts. Sometimes simply muting one or two instruments in a particular section (usually a verse) can make the next section sound much bigger by comparison.
You may feel like this brings down the energy level of your song at first, but when you bring those muted parts back in, you'll realize just how much more energetic the song sounds as a whole.
In a digital environment where anything you can dream of is possible to achieve, sometimes it's worthwhile to step back for a moment and ask yourself if you really need all of these options. Sure, you could create a kick drum sound using six different samples stacked on top of each other, but how many great drum recordings have been made with just one simple kick drum track?
The next time you're thinking about doubling up another guitar part or adding another synth track, ask yourself if the element you're about to add will really enhance the song, or if it'll simply distract from what's already there. You may be surprised to find that, more often than not, leaving something out will have an even greater impact that adding something in.

With the BJP-led government at Centre relentlessly trying to legislate anti-people laws like Land Acquisition Bill, both civil society and political groups are up in arms. Recently, massive protests were organized across the country. However, the most courageous and political form of protest has been initiated by members of tribal community and activists from Latehar district of Jharkhand. adivasis-defecate
On 18th of March, a number of Adivasis from Latehar lined and crapped on the copies of the proposed bill. Using the bill as a toilet paper in public, the members of the community and activists demanded from the government an immediate withdrawal of the Bill. Or else Adivasis will continue with the shit protest across the country.
IndiaResists.com spoke to Abhay Xaxa, an activist-researcher who helped organizing and popularizing it.
Abhay is an Oraon Adivasi hailing from the tribal-dominated Jashpur District of northern Chhattisgarh. He started working on Adivasi issues as a youth leader during his college days in Jabalpur with a group called Adivasi Yuva Chetna Manch and has worked with some of the very committed grassroots movements such as Bharat Jan Andolan, Ekta Parishad, Nadi Ghati Morcha and Dalit Dasta Virodhi Andolan.
Currently, he is a research scholar at Jawahar Lal Nehru University (JNU), researching and working on Adivasi Marginalities and Tribal Sub Plan. He is also the National Convener of a nationwide campaign group, "National Campaign on Adivasi Rights".

Following is a short conversation with Abhay Xaxa.
How did the idea of this form of protest strike you? Who decided it, when and why?
We are doing social monitoring of various tribal development programmes operating under the Tribal Sub Plan to highlight the serious gaps in planning and implementation of various schemes, especially in 5th Schedule areas. Currently there is lot of anxiety and anger among the Adivasi communities against the recently introduced Land Acquisition Bill which was discussed during one of our community meetings in Latehaar district. During the meeting, few young Adivasi leaders suggested that since Government pays no attention when we take out peaceful rallies (just the previous day, around 30,000 Adivasis rallied against the draconian bill in Jashpur district of Chhattisgarh), but nobody paid attention) and giving memoranda has become a futile exercise. So the youth in the meeting suggested we do the 'poop protest' in public place to communicate our anger against the land grab carried out in Adivasi area.
Some would say, this was an 'uncivil way of protest'. What is your response to them?
If our poop protest is considered uncivil, then tell me what is civil in this country. Displacing millions of Adivasis for satisfying corporate greed is civil? Killing thousands of unarmed Adivasis in name of counter insurgency is civil? Trafficking lakhs of innocent Adivasi girls to cities and raping them is civil? Blatantly cheating the Adivasis from the constitutional promises is civil? Adivasis have long suffered from the incivility of the Indian state as well as profit mongering goon-politician nexus of this country. Contrary to what is usually is portrayed, Adivasis are the most civil and peace loving citizens of the country. These values are their strength, but have been continuously victimized by the blood thirsty policies of the government. What type of civility do you expect from a person who was uprooted from their land not once but twice in name of national interest and is now threatened the third time?
In my view, if freedom fighters would have bothered to behave 'civil' during Indian freedom struggle, we would have still been a British colony. Poop protest is the most peaceful and democratic protest against a black law which threatens the core of their lifeJal, Jangal aur Jameen, that is! Poop protest is not a new form of agitation, In fact throughout history, whenever oppressed masses have dropped their shit as arsenal, rulers have been shaken because it often marks the beginning of a social uprising.
But have you tried 'civil' manners of the protest first, right?
Yes, we have been trying peaceful demonstration for a long. Rallies, dharnas, hunger strike, submitting memoranda, meeting MP's, delegations. Nothing has worked. In fact, on 12th of this month we were detained by police in Delhi while doing peaceful protest. (See a detailed report here). It seems the Indian state is totally bent towards eliminating the Adivasis from the face of the earth.
We hear you are working in a feature film. Can you tell us something about it?
The film Sonchand is the first Adivasi community film project based on crowd funding and community resources which is going to challenge the Eklayva mythology relating to Adivasis. You can know more about the film here.
What next? Are you planning to do something similar in other parts of the country?
We have got immense support for the poop protest from the Adivasi regions and many have invited to collectively do poop protest in their areas. But we are right now following the developments in the Parliament on the issue and will likewise decide on future course of action. With the poop protest in Latehar, we have begun a fight and we have promised ourselves not to leave it unfinished.

1+1+1 – A Simple Way to Read the Bible (Download Powerpoint)
Can you think of some famous numbers?
999 – the phone number you ring in an emergency.
118 118 – the phone number you ring to get information.
1966 – the year that England won the World Cup.
43252003274489856000 – the number of possible positions on a Rubik's cube.
I want to introduce you to another number that should be famous. This number describes a simple and easy way to read the Bible.
The number is 111 or 1+1+1.
Here's how it works:
1 – Book of the Bible a month.
1- Chapter to read a day – doing this will mean for some books of the Bible, you'll get to know them really well as you'll read through them more than once in a month.
1 – Verse to think about – the final step is from the chapter you've read take one verse and spend the rest of the day thinking about it and praying it for yourself, your family, church and non-Christians. Alternatively you could take from the chapter one 'thought to make your heart sing'.
1 book a month, 1 chapter a day, 1 verse to think about. 1+1+1 – a simple way to read the Bible.
[This simple way of reading the Bible also works well with The Big Read that we're doing at Banstead Community Church].

Canada's Golgotha
1 Thessalonians 4:14
In the Canadian War Museum there's a bronze sculpture by an obscure British artist named Derwent Wood. Entitled Canada's Golgotha, the small bas-relief, less than a metre square, depicts a Canadian soldier crucified to the door of a barn while on-looking German soldiers mock his plight.
The origin of Canada's Golgotha goes back to the Second Battle of the Ypres. The Paris correspondent of the Morning Post reported that Canadian soldiers knew of a sergeant who was nailed to a door with bayonets and then shot. The Toronto Star of May 11, 1915, told of a Canadian sergeant lashed to a tree by his arms and legs and bayoneted 60 times. As is often the case, the story came from a second-hand witness who died in the arms of the storyteller. "C. J. C. Clayton, a New Zealander who is serving with the British Red Cross and is now wounded, brings a message from Capt. R. A. Allen of the 5th Canadian Battalion, who comes from Vancouver and who died of wounds in a hospital in Boulogne May 2, confirming the horrible story of the crucifixion of a Canadian sergeant by the Germans …"
In commenting on the story, Canadian historian, Desmond Morton, says "It was a remarkably useful story. In a Christian age, a Hunnish enemy had proved capable of mocking Christ's agony on the cross … providing a means of transforming casual colonials into ruthless fighters."
But there are problems with the story. The German and Canadian governments believe the atrocity is unproven. The Imperial War Graves Commission says that Capt. Allen of the 5th Battalion died on April 30, not May 2. Furthermore, the sergeant is not identified. (A British wartime nurse pinpointed the incident and named Sgt. Harry Band of the 48th Highlanders as the victim. However, although a certain Harry Band died on April 24, 1915, with no known grave, he was a private from the 16th Regiment and not a sergeant). Yet the legend was born and has grown in the telling.
In contrast, Israel's Golgotha is a historical reality (cf. The Works of Flavius Josephus, Dissertation 1, p. 665). There is no doubt that the crucifixion of Jesus Christ of Nazareth actually happened. It isn't a legend or myth. "We believe that Jesus died and rose again" 1 Thessalonians 4:14. And as a result millions have banked their lives on it. As it says in God's infallible Word, "They brought Jesus to the place called Golgotha (which means The Place of the Skull). Then they offered him wine mixed with myrrh, but he did not take it. And they crucified him. Dividing up his clothes, they cast lots to see what each would get. It was the third hour when they crucified him. The written notice of the charge against him read: THE KING OF THE JEWS. They crucified two robbers with him, one on his right and one on his left" Mark 15:22-27.
Two Golgothas'; one Canadian and one Israeli, one recent and one ancient, one unproven and one proven, one designed to alienate and one designed to reconcile, one cast against the backdrop of hatred and one etched in love, one representing war and one representing peace, one largely forgotten and one ardently remembered …

It's not often that kids have the opportunity to apply what they're learning to help renovate their school. But students from Metro Montessori Middle School visited the Portland State campus this week with the intention of doing just that—by learning how to make a recently purchased school building as energy-efficient as possible.
"What can we do to improve our building now?" asked Eleanor Kemp, an eighth grader at Metro Montessori. For the past month, Kemp and her classmates have been studying green buildings and EcoDistricts, communities committed to achieving neighborhood-scale sustainability goals.
Students from Metro Montessori Middle School visited
PSU to learn about green buildings and energy.
Fletcher Beaudoin and Kate Williams from the PSU Institute for Sustainable Solutions took the students on a tour of PSU's green energy features, from Electric Avenue to the new energy-efficient light fixtures in historic Lincoln Hall. After the tour, the students calculated how much carbon emissions different kinds of light bulbs produce, and discussed how emissions affect each bulb's overall costs to consumers.
Students intend to use what they learned at PSU to advocate for energy-efficient retrofits in their school's new building.
"They're coming back with a skill that the facilities manager can use," said Metro Montesori teacher and PSU alumna Marcia Thomas.
Many of the same students from Metro Montessori visited PSU's campus last year for a tour of sustainable transportation infrastructure. The students have since opened up their own bike repair shop modeled on PSU's BikeHub and have talked with Mayor Charlie Hales about Portland's transportation planning.
Classes interested in learning about sustainability on PSU's campus can contact Fletcher Beaudoin at _EMAIL_.

It was whilst flicking through Professor Alan S. C. Ross's book 'Don't Say It' that I stumbled merrily upon these two terms, which were both new to me. A pre-lactarian is someone who pours their milk into their tea or coffee before the hot water; a post-lactarian is someone who adds milk last.
But which method is correct? Well, there is no strict answer to this. It has its roots in class distinction.
In previous eras, adding the milk in before the hot water was always done by the 'downstairs' of the big houses, who would have pottery mugs. These mugs did not react too well to the boiling water, and thus the cold milk was poured in first so that it instantly cooled the water and thus the mugs survived in one piece.
Meanwhile, in the 'upstairs' of the house, where they could afford cups and saucers made from china or porcelain, the milk could be added after the hot water, as the cups were able to cope with the boiling water as they were made from a more resilient material.
As to who actually invented the terms pre and post-lactarian, I do not know and I am still researching, but they are much grander than some of the terms one could use instead!

Have suitable mechanism for public caning
Muzaffar Syah Mallow
6 Sep 2018, 4:53 am
Updated 2 years ago
LETTER | The government should create a special task force or committee at the federal level with the participation from all states to determine the most suitable mechanism for the implementation of public caning imposed by the syariah court.
The issue has surfaced after two Malaysian-Muslim women were convicted of attempting to have sex in a car and were subjected to caning by the Syariah Court in Kuala Terengganu recently.
Both women were caned publicly inside the syariah court. The two women, aged 22 and 32, were seated on stools facing the judges and each were given six strokes from a light rattan cane on their backs by female prison officers. More than 100 people witnessed the caning process.
The rare public caning garnered much attention from politicians and human rights NGOs within the country and at an international level.
Though the objective of public caning is to educate the offender, it could also deter others from committing other syariah offences. However, it should be done in a proper way so that all the good objectives associated with public caning are not negated due to improper implementation of the punishment.
Section 125 and 126 of the Syariah Criminal Procedure (Terengganu) Enactment 2001 stipulates the methods for whipping. However, there are many questions which need to be asked and answered before the public caning can be carried out:
 - Where should public caning be carried out?
 - Can it be carried out in any place without any limitations?
 - Who actually can come and witness the public caning?
 - Should people be forced to witness the public caning?
 - Can children come and witness the public caning?
 - Can witnesses bring recording devices?
 - Are witnesses allowed to make fun of the offenders outside the court?
 - What is the punishment for witnesses who mock offenders outside the court?
These are a few questions which should be answered by the authorities in order for public caning to be conducted smoothly in the country.
Since there is a possibility that public caning punishment might become a national trend in our syariah courts, it is crucial to immediately set up special task force or committee to analyse all the arising questions and come out with a clear ruling or mechanism on the matter so that it can be systematically implemented by all syariah courts in all states in the country.
The writer is a senior lecturer in the Faculty of Syariah & Law, at Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia.

Mystery Bridge Nr. 29 Roof truss in a park complex
Photo taken in August 2011
This next mystery bridge article takes us back to Iowa againthis time to a park complex west of Iowa City. There are some unique features that make the F.W. Kent Park in Tiffin special to the region. One of them is the number of historic bridges that were brought here and preserved. They all span various tributaries, lining up along the lake they empty into, the same lake that was created and is used for fishing and swimming. Each span has a different bridge type and a history of its own, including how it was moved here and preserved.
Like the one in the picture above. This bridge is touted as a roof-top truss bridge. Located at the very north tip of the lake, this bridge is different from all the other bridges, for it was homemade, originating from the trusses that were salvaged from an important building that was demolished in Iowa City prior to the creation of the park. It's markings are similar to a series of bowstring arch bridges that were built in Crawford County, Iowa in 1945-6 including the Nishnabotna River crossing near Manila as seen below.
Photo courtesy of HABS/HAER
The difference is the fact that the Manila Bridge is the actual truss bridge itself with the lower chord (featuring lateral and diagonal bracing) supporting the roadway, whereas the the one at F.W. Kent Park features the trusses, used as decoration (or at least it appears to be used as that) and tacked onto the actual beam bridge itself. Furthermore, there are alternating vertical beams in the Tiffin Bridge, while the Manila Bridge has all verticals subdividing the rhombus, thus having an X-frame for each panel.
Despite the difference between the two, the roof-top truss bridge's uniqueness is one of the reasons why it is a sin to not visit the park if you are a pontist driving through. It is even a bigger sin if one doesn't know about its history, let alone how the park came into being in the first place. Henceforth, before explaining about the park further, the Chronicles has created a short quiz for you to answer, integrating this mystery bridge in with the questions pertaining to the park itself. So without further ado, here are the questions, created in a hybrid fashion:
1. The FW Kent Park is younger than the Historic Bridge Park near Kalmazoo, Michigan. True or False?
2. Which of the following truss bridge types can NOT be found at FW Kent Park?
a. Pratt b. Warren c. Whipple d. Queenpost
3. The origin of the Rooftop truss bridge was a building that was demolished in Iowa City. Can you name the building and when it existed?
4. How many bridges can be found at FW Kent Park?
a. 8 b. 10 c. 11 d. 13 e. 15
5. At least one bridge was airlifted to the Park. True or False?
6. All of the bridges brought in were the ones that served traffic in Johnson County. True or False?
7. How was the Rooftop truss bridge assembled?
8. What activities can you do at the park, apart from photographing bridges?
a. swimming b. hiking c. fishing d. biking e. all of the above
The answers will be revealed next week at this time. They will be eye-openers for there are some facts that were claimed to be correct, but the truth begs to differ. Plus there will be some interesting facts about who created the park and how the rooftop truss bridge was built. So stay tuned, take some guesses and allow yourself to learn some new things about historic bridges and how they found a new home in FW Kent Park. Good luck with the quiz! :-)
