"I had heard a good deal of Colonel ALGER and General ALGER and Gov. ALGER, and what a tiptop man he was, and thinks I, I wonder if that is the little Aleck ALGER that I used to go to school with down in Richland, Ohio. I was big boy then, and Aleck was a quiet little cuss that sat in the corner, and didn't play much, and the other little youngsters used to pester him a good deal. Many a time I cuffed 'em for interfering with Aleck. You see, he was an orphan, and as good a little fellow as ever you saw.

Jerusalem Post Israel Elections
When politics and diplomacy intersect- analysis
Gantz criticized Netanyahu, saying it would be better had he visited various cities around Israel rather than spend his time abroad.

LONDON – Blue and White Knesset members came to the Knesset on Wednesday morning and speculated on what country Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu would visit ahead of the September 17 election to remind voters of his diplomatic credentials.
They spoke about sending their MKs around the world to tell world leaders not to invite Netanyahu because he was on his way out.
Hours later, Netanyahu announced that he would fly to London the following day.
Blue and White leader Benny Gantz used the occasion to issue his strongest attack on Netanyahu in months.
"What we are seeing these days are Benjamin Netanyahu's travels around the world, from place to place, simply throwing dust in the eyes of the public," he told Channel 12's conference in Tel Aviv. "But you understand, [Russian President Vladimir] Putin makes all of his moves based on the interests of Putin and of Russia. [US President Donald] Trump does what he does for Trump and for the United States alone, and not because of Netanyahu. Instead of traveling around the world, Netanyahu needs to visit Hadera and continue onward to Golani Junction and Kiryat Shmona, which are apparently boring him."
That attack set off Netanyahu, who has mostly ignored Gantz for two elections in a row. He explained how the timing of the trip had to do with the schedule of new US Defense Secretary Mark Esper, whom he met for the first time, and not with the coming election.
"I heard someone say we are here for political reasons," he said. "This is a lie, far from the truth. I don't sell out our security. There are threats rising around us, and we will deal with them."
So who is right? They both are.
There are rare times in the life of a politician when his political and professional interests intersect. This was true for Netanyahu, who avoided being in the country on the day when he knew there would be a very anti-Netanyahu conference of Channel 12, which the prime minister has called to boycott.
It was also true for his British counterpart, Boris Johnson.
Netanyahu met with Johnson a day after he failed at his goal of initiating a snap election to get a new parliament ahead of big steps on Brexit. People kept asking why Johnson cleared time for Netanyahu on such a day.
The very fact that such a question was being asked proved it was smart of Johnson to hold the meeting.
There is no smarter move after a day of bad news in politics than to fully engage professionally. For Johnson, meeting with Netanyahu and US Vice President Mike Pence provided a welcome rest from internal politics.
But on Friday, Netanyahu will go back to the election in Israel, and Johnson will go back to his internal problems.
The worst thing about a vacation, whether in or out of the country, is it never lasts forever.

Thracian Choir Festival, Yambol, Bulgaria, or How to Save a Choral Event in Times of Crisis
By: Theodora Pavlovitch
By Prof. Theodora Pavlovitch, conductor and teacher
Edited by Hayley Smith, UK/Italy
When you look at a map of Bulgaria, you find the Thracian region in the centre, situated beside the river Tundja (formerly known as Tonzos) that once was a cradle of civilization in this area. One of the most important towns on the river is Yambol, and only a few kilometres away you find an amazing ancient Thracian city – Kabyle (2000 B.C.). The people here consider themselves to be the repositories of the Thracian culture and they are very proud of their heritage.
The region and the town itself have a long-standing choral tradition: the first choir in Yambol was established in 1898 and, later on, fifteen new choirs were set up. In 1967 the music teacher Stefka Pastarmadjieva put together a children's choir which very soon became one of the best in Bulgaria. It won many prizes at international competitions and was named after Georgi Dimitrov, the founder of the Bulgarian Choir Conductor's School, as recognition of its artistic achievements. On the basis of this children's choir in Yambol, a large choral association, also called 'Prof. Georgi Dimitrov', was also set up. More than six thousand singers have taken part in the different choirs that make up the association over the last forty-seven years and it has become one of the leading cultural structures in the town.
The democratic changes in Bulgaria have brought years of social transformation and the cultural institutes in the whole country have faced dramatic challenges, both organisational and financial. Unfortunately, support for the preservation and development of Bulgarian choral music drastically diminished and saving the choirs was left to conductors or, in some cases, to regional authorities, which do not always have a good overview of needs or enough resources to help.
The leaders of the Georgi Dimitrov Choral Association had the brilliant idea of looking for partners and they created the first Bulgarian cultural society on the basis of a public-private partnership. The three members of the Society are the Municipality of Yambol and two NGOs – the Georgi Dimitrov Choral Association and the Yambol branch of the Union of Scientific and Technical workers. The goals of the new structure were to preserve the choral tradition of the region and offer specific cultural services to society. As a part of its activities, in 2006 the Society set up a new choral event – the Thracian Choir Festival which was held every subsequent year with great success.
The good image of the Georgi Dimitrov Choral Association and the enthusiasm of the organisers have attracted many of the best Bulgarian choirs – more than sixty of them have taken part in the Festival. In addition, the Festival invited some high-level international choirs such as The Radio and TV Children's Choir from Bucharest, Romania (conducted by Voicu Popescu) and Camerata Musica Limburg, Germany (conductor Jan Schumacher), among others.
Romanian Radio and TV Children's Choir
As part of the Thracian International Choir Festival, there was also a round-table discussion focused on the problems of choir management. In the previous Festivals, the international expertise on this subject was presented by Sonja Greiner, Secretary General of the European Choral Association, Europa Cantat, and Pierfranco Semeraro, Vice President of FENIARCO, the Italian choral umbrella organisation, as well as by the Presidents of the leading Bulgarian music organisations: the Bulgarian Choir Union, the Bulgarian Choir Conductors' Association and the Union of Bulgarian Composers.
Everything was going quite well at the Festival when suddenly the Municipality of Yambol, during the worst period of economic crisis in Bulgaria (2011), decided to suspend its participation in the public-private partnership and withdraw its financial support for the event. That decision brought the Festival to a total standstill.
In order to keep the Festival, and itself, alive, the Yambol Choral Association created a new public cultural institution, a specific Bulgarian form of cultural house called Chitalishte. This type of institution had been set up from the middle of the nineteenth century all over the country and they have been the main centres for preserving the Bulgarian spirit and culture for more than 150 years. Today, these institutions are supported by the Bulgarian Ministry of Culture and they are eligible for a State subsidy after proving the success of their work. The new Cultural House in Yambol was called 'Thracian Lyre' and, after two years of intense volunteer work, in 2013 it was recognised and supported by the Ministry of Culture. The small subsidy helped both the Choral Association and the Festival to survive.
In 2013, the Thracian Festival was reconstructed with the help of the new Cultural House and the two NGOs, plus some private sponsors. The choirs then paid small participation fees and a new element was added to its programme – an evening with authentic folk singing. The organisers started building the new image of the Festival, embracing the rich Bulgarian folk traditions.
Children's Choir, Yambol, Bulgaria
The seventh Thracian Choir Festival took place in the Town Hall of Yambol on 17-19 October. The first concert at the Festival presented some authentic Bulgarian folk singing groups from the Thracian region. The second day of the event was dedicated to modern trends in folk music: arrangements, new polyphonic compositions based on folk themes, and even some jazz arrangements were presented by the youth choirs of the New Bulgarian University (conducted by Georgi Petkov) and the Academic Folk Choir of the Plovdiv Academy of Music and Arts (conducted by Prof. Kostadin Buradjiev). The third concert presented a panorama of contemporary choral music in the country: 'Vocal Ensemble Spectrum', a brilliant example of the abilities of the new-generation singers in Bulgaria, performed attractive arrangements in different styles, including modern pieces based on folklore, followed by the Choir of Medical Specialists (Sofia, conducted by Maia Vassileva) and the Mixed Choir 'Ave Musica' (Sofia, conducted by Tania Nikleva-Vladeva). At the end of this concert, the last two choirs performed the famous Misa Criolla by Ariel Ramirez together, accompanied by the ensemble Art Libitum with authentic instruments.
The organisers of the Thracian Choir Festival, encouraged by the audience, believe in the successful future of the event and hope to attract even more support from different partners. The leading team for the event ( Vessela Pastarmadjieva, Artistic Director of the Festival and conductor of the Georgi Dimitrov Choir Association; Dr Angel Angelov, Director of the new 'Thracian Lyre' Cultural House; and Milen Alexandrov, Secretary and PR Manager for the event) deserve standing ovations for their wonderful teamwork, enthusiasm and great energy. They have proved how a choral event can be saved and developed, even in a very difficult situation, by having a solid vision and keeping up morale. They believe singing can unite people all around the world and cordially invite more choirs and ensembles to join the Thracian Choir Festival. You are all very welcome in Yambol, Bulgaria!

November is now here. And there is a lot to mumble about in the world of Barons hockey. I'm not a pessimistic person, and if I were, these mumbles would be more frequent and more seething. Instead I'm an optimistic thinker to a fault. I bring this to your attention for one reason, and one reason only – I wholeheartedly believe the Oklahoma City Barons are the best offensive team in the American Hockey League. See what I did there? Not the best team, but the best offensive team. And those two things are very different.
The Barons are now a team with a healthy knack for scoring points. There is no denying this. The problem is that the rest of the team is much farther south of them, that it's an incomplete equation for winning. And here's what I mean.
There are nights where the Barons have great offense, score a bunch of goals, look amazing, but lack the defensive stoutness to win impressively. We've yet to see the opposite, where the defense is so good that it negates the offensive bailout. But keep in mind the "X" factor in this equation, and that's execution. The equation for execution is as such.
Gameplan, preparedness, health, hardwork are all the recipe of successful execution. And this is where the American Hockey League becomes so so important. It's a league of young men and old men. And despite their various ages, they all have one goal in mind and that's to get better. Whether the prize is an NHL spot or simply to have a strong career, the goal is always the same — to get better. But what happens when your team is really good at the top end, and really prospecty at the bottom? You have a team that's barely over .500 through ten games when they were expected to be infinitely better. The expanse between Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Ryan Martindale is so vast that the game time peripheral is thrown out of wack. Do I believe that the top half should be closer to the bottom half? Certainly closer, not the same. Things like speed and overall skill are much greater at the top, and subsequently lesser at the bottom. Imagine a hefty kid on one end of the see saw, and a thin and sleek one at the other – the weighty kid holds back the slight of build one. Rocking isn't much fun.
I hate math. I hate equations. And I hate losing. But I think there is a correlation to a balanced team. The Barons don't seem to be balanced. They aren't balanced offense for defense nor are they balanced in terms of raw talent and works in progress. Just too much to overcome. Can it be fixed, yes. But it requires the fat kids to lose some, well, fat.


It's snowing in Newport Pagnell - heavily. Winter has arrived.
Anyway, yesterday I thought I'd better get to grips with the seed potato order. Last year in France I grew only two potato plants and one of those was so comprehensively diseased (and infected my entire tomato crop with blight as well) that it was a very unsuccessful experiment. The variety was Sarpo Mira, much lauded for its resistance to blight and the seed tuber for it was bought in the UK at a local garden centre from allegedly virus and disease tested stock. It may be I was unlucky, other seed tubers from the same batch, even the second plant in France, showed little sign of blight until the end of the season but this experience and others with cheap garden centre stock has made me determined to get hold of better grade seed for this year.
There is a nice chap in the potato enthusiast's crowd, Alan Romans. We've met him briefly and exchanged a few words at a potato day at HDRA in Coventry a few years back. He lives for spuds it seems and his knowledge has made him in great demand with the big commercial consumers like supermarkets to give them an edge when identifying heritage and speciality varieties for their top end sales. Now he's cashed in on this popularity and started his own online seed potato company in Fife. This is the place I've chosen to buy the bulk of my potato goods from this year.
The varieties chosen are a mix of our old favourites and some pin sticking by myself because as it's the first year we will try a serious planting in France we're not certain which types will do best in the conditions. So the favourites are Ambo and Stroma, with Swift as our first early. Then I got the pin out and picked Winston as a second early on the basis that Alan says it will make an early baker and Ratte because it's similar to one of our all time favourites Pink Fir Apple but a little earlier and I have an eye to minimising blight damage. It seems my pin was faulty because when the man got home I was informed we'd tried Winston before and it was no good and that he didn't rate Ratte anywhere near as good at PFA because it didn't peel well. All I can say to that is too late, mate.
In addition I bought a pack of potato microplantlets, just one each of the varieties Aura, Salad Blue, Highland Burgundy Red, Fortyfold and Shetland Black. We've grown all these in the past except Aura. Microplants are a way of distributing virus free clones of old varieties that are no longer in commercial production. It is usually impossible to get seed tubers of these varieties.
Salad Blue is a wonderful coloured potato, blue fleshed throughout. It's really quite early cropping and left makes huge tubers which unfortunately are very prone to slug damage. This is a hazard in a dark skinned and fleshed potato so I prefer to take them small before the slugs can get at them. Highland Burgundy Red (if that is in fact its true name) is beautifully crimson red fleshed, sometimes with a band of white just under the skin. It matures rather later than the Salad Blue. Both these sorts can be steamed, boiled or baked although the Blues are a bit mushy and tend to go grey if boiled hard. The Reds make an excellent roast potato and both sorts make great crisps - a huge bowl of red, white and blue crisps is an excellent accompaniment to pre-dinner drinks.
Fortyfold is a very old variety and does indeed produce a huge crop, but the potatoes are small with deep eyes which is a pain when peeling. We call them the soup potato because they cook down quickly in soup, making a rich thickness. This tendency makes them of little use as a boiled potato but with a bit of care good mash can be obtained.
Shetland Black is a black skinned, yellow fleshed potato from the islands. Again the tubers are quite small but the flavour is very good and the texture of the cooked potatoes appealing.
These five plantlets won't produce much to eat this year but will provide seed potatoes for crops next year.
Despite the problems last year, we've also found Sarpo Mira a good bet if not a great potato and would have bought some of those too but because of some arrangement between Mr. Romans and Thompson and Morgan he's not stocking these himself. Well, I tried, I followed the link to the T&M site and chose some spuds but the order seemed a little sparse and I thought I'd grab a few seeds to go with them. Imagine my surprise when I found that my e-shopping baskets couldn't be amalgamated (or no way that I could see). It was so annoying I dropped the lot. I was never a fan of T&M and their multiple shopping site experience was frustrating and unproductive. I shan't go back. Perhaps Alan, if you're reading, you could tip them the wink.

Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 uses an IPS LCD display with a 2000 x 1200 pixel resolution, offers Android 10 as the OS, with One UI 2.5 on top.
On the camera front there's an 8 MP back shooter and upfront a 5 MP cam. Then there's a generous 7040 mAh battery, WiFi 5, Bluetooth 5.0 and if you're lucky you can also buy a 4G LTE version of the device. It even has face unlock and it measures 0.28 inches in thickness (7 mm). Dolby Atmos is also on offer here and Fast Chargint technology. There's an Audio Hotspot feature and also a Media Panel to control video. The Silver color version is an Amazon exclusive, by the way.

Mycobacterium marinum (vecchia denominazione Mycobacterium balnei) è un batterio che si annida nelle piscine e negli acquari tropicali e può causare infezioni di tipo opportunistico nell'uomo.

Storia
Il batterio venne isolato per la prima volta nei pesci nel 1926: solo un quarto di secolo più tardi si capì che esso era presente anche come causa scatenante di numerose infezioni, in particolare nei nuotatori ed in chi frequentava regolarmente delle piscine.
Nel 1962 il batterio venne individuato in associazione al lavoro di manutenzione di vasche in cui era presente del pesce, a dimostrare la sua infettività pesce-uomo: in particolare, il batterio può essere trasmesso dal pesce all'uomo sia direttamente, attraverso ferite procurate con pinne, aculei o morsi, sia (e questo avviene per la maggior parte delle volte) maneggiando oggetti infetti o pulendo la vasca.

Segni e sintomi
Generalmente l'infezione si manifesta sotto forma di lesioni singole o multiple in forma di noduli sulla pelle, che si formano solitamente su gomiti, ginocchia e piedi negli infettati "da piscina", e sulle mani e gli avambracci negli infettati "da acquario": tali parti sono le più fredde del corpo, il batterio infatti non riesce a replicarsi a temperature superiori ai 37 °C. Le lesioni appaiono dopo un'incubazione che va dalle due settimane al mese, e a quindici giorni dalla loro comparsa possono raggiungere i 4 cm di diametro. Nonostante spesso tali lesioni siano indolori e mantengano costanti le proprie dimensioni, non di rado possono provocare dolori anche forti ed in caso di soggetti immunocompromessi espandersi anche grandemente.

Un altro problema è il fatto che le forme iniziali dell'infezione vengono spesso scambiate con altre patologie, come cellulite, artrite reumatoide, tubercolosi, reazioni allergiche od addirittura tumore alla pelle.

Cure

Le cure consistono principalmente in terapie antibiotiche, la cui durata è direttamente proporzionale all'estensione dell'infezione: il batterio è tuttavia generalmente noto per la lunghezza delle cure a cui gli infettati devono sottoporsi, e che possono protrarsi anche per sei mesi.

An alien civilisation sent a spaceship to investigate Earth and we mistook it for an asteroid, astronomers from one of the world's top universities have suggested. Two Harvard stargazers have published a paper which seeks to explain why Asteroid 'Oumuamua, a cigar-shaped object which sped through the solar system last year, accelerated and changed direction as it shot past humanity's home planet. Shmuel Bialy and Abraham Loeb from the Harvard Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics suggested the elongated asteroid might have an 'artificial origin'. ''Oumuamua may be a fully operational probe sent intentionally to Earth vicinity by an alien civilisation,' they wrote.

Rep. Henriquez Opposes BLA School Move
State Representative Carlos Henriquez an alumni of Boston Latin Academy today joined teachers and students at his alma mater to oppose the proposed moving of the school to the former Hyde Park High building.
Many BLA parents questioned the logic of moving BLA into a building that simply couldn't support the numbers while one mother expressed concerns that a tighter cafeteria schedule would have students "eating lunch as soon as they come in the door or right as they leave for home." Parents also worried of the increased commute times for their children.
Representative Henriquez stated, "Superintendent Johnson deserves credit for taking the time to listen to the concerns parents and of the community. I think we all understand that Boston Arts Academy needs a new home as is apparent by the 800 or so students on their waiting list.
However, this should not come at the expense of Boston Latin Academy faculty, students and staff. "We were always told [following the school's last move in 1991] that the BLA would get a home it deserves," Henriquez said. "205 Townsend was that home."

Q: My spacecraft was built backwards; gimbal always lies I put a probe into orbit and is now on a Kerbin escape path, but it has a really annoying quirk; the engines are mounted to the "top" of the probe so the gimbal always seems flipped 180°.  In order to do any maneuvers, I need to look where the marker is, then flip the ship.
Can I get a retrograde marker to use instead?  Can I just fix this some other way in the game?  Can I flip a bit or whatever in the save file to perform this innocuous change?

A: You could do this in the config file, but it's easier to make this change in game (although you may have to do it each time you switch to it).  This requires that you have a docking port pointed in the prograde direction.  If you do, right click on that, and select Control from here, and you're done.  The gimble will flip, and everything will be pointed in the correct direction.
If you don't have part that you can do a Control from here on (and is pointed the correct way), then it is possible to make the change in your persistence file.  In a text editor, open %KSP_DIR%/saves/<save name>/persistent.sfs, and under the VESSELS section, find the probe you want to edit.  Find the PART section for the probe body, and change the value for rotation.  I don't know the format for that value*, so this could use some experimentation, but set it to 0,0,0,-1 and see what that does.
*I don't have time right now to test this to tell you for sure what it should be, otherwise I would.

A: For anyone else out there with the same problem: MechJeb has a very useful feature in its Smart A.S.S. in case you accidentally build your ship upside down:

*

*Use the Maneuver Planner or map view to create a node that does what you want

*Open Smart A.S.S.

*Set it to "ADV" mode

*As Reference select "MANEUVER_NODE"

*As Direction select "BACK"

*Hit Execute

*MechJeb will now point the vessel "away" from the node.

*Execute your burn manually

It may seem complicated, but it was simple enough to save two Kerbins on their return trip from Minmus.

Tottenham youngster Marcus Edwards signs new contract
Vera Richards | 31 July, 2017, 00:19

New Manchester City defender Kyle Walker on Saturday admitted that the prospect of facing former club Tottenham is hard, but says it will never affect his focus and will to win.

"I like to show respect to people that behave another way, only I expect the same from people that compete with us".
Spurs' pre-season schedule continues against Man City in Nashville on Saturday, with a 23:00 kick-off (UK time). "We can not speak about playing a Premier League game today in Manchester or London".
"We have a very clear idea of what we want and what we need to do to try and achieve our target".
The England global claimed the reason he left Spurs, who finished runners up in the Premier League last season, was to win silverware.
Spurs are insistent they will not follow the trend of lavishing millions, and Vertonghen reckons they are finally ready to win silverware.

Capital is the crucial ingredient for any business to grow. This holds true whether you are a one-person firm with minimal revenue or a 100-person company with significant sales. Yet so many entrepreneurs and business owners complain about how difficult it is to attain. Here are just five of the numerous ways to access capital taken from the informative new book, Solving the Capital Equation.
Form strategic partnerships. Consider the following: Who is already reaching your client or customer base? Who offers products or services that may be a great fit for your client or customer base? Who has a skill set or functional expertise that your firm lacks? All of these entities would make great prospective partners. Identify them, then craft a win/win partnership. Why spend money you do not have when you have something else of value to offer them – your firm's product and services! You can use partners to access the sales force, marketing, IT, accounting, management expertise – to name just a few – of the services you would otherwise have to pay for.
Barter. As a business owner, you have a product or service that someone wants. Otherwise you wouldn't be in business. You can barter these products or services for those products and services you need to grow your business or service your customer. Or you could barter for personal items that you would typically have to withdraw funds from the company to pay yourself then pay for directly. You can barter for advertising, travel, legal or accounting services, televisions, landscaping, cleaning services. There are a lot of free barter websites, try it you can save a lot of money!
Find a strategic investor. Is there a larger company that would benefit directly from your service or product offering? If so, contact them. If you can convince them that your company can directly or indirectly positively impact their bottom line either through a sales increase or a cost reduction, you are likely to garner financing in the form of direct equity, a loan, use of their credit, prepaid contracts, or payment of development costs. Look around. Potential strategic investors abound.
Tap your suppliers. Are you trying to rapidly expand your business and need money to pay your suppliers? Why not ask your supplier to advance you the money? If your expansion will contribute a sizable portion of your supplier's annual receipts, you can induce the vendor to provide a 12-18 month loan by promoting how he/she stands to benefit. At the least, negotiate a 90-day payment arrangement.
Seller finance. Who knows the business or asset better than the person or entity selling it? If you are growing your business through acquiring other businesses, seek seller financing. Give them a lien against the business so they get the business back if you default. Suggest it as a way for you to know you are getting what you paid for. Added benefit: reduces risks that the company has hidden problems which greatly decrease its value and that the owner would start another competing business.
Use these ideas to spark your creative thought process and get the money you need to elevate your business. You will see it works!

Angry over campus speech by Uighur activist, Chinese students in Canada contact their consulate, film presentation
Pedestrians walk past the Erdao Bridge mosque in Urumqi, in China's autonomous Xinjiang region, on Nov. 6. (Bloomberg News)
By Gerry Shih and

China Correspondent
Emily Rauhala
Staff writer covering Canada and foreign affairs
The news of a talk by a Uighur activist spread quickly on campus, ricocheting across WeChat, the Chinese messaging app.
A group of Chinese students at McMaster University, in Ontario, learned that Rukiye Turdush, a vocal critic of the Chinese government's treatment of Uighurs, was set to deliver a presentation about the mass internment of Muslims in China's far northwest.
The students were furious that a woman they considered a separatist would be given a platform to speak. So they rallied in a chat group and reached out to a familiar source of guidance: the Chinese government.
As Turdush gave her presentation that afternoon, a student in the audience filmed her, and later shouted at her before storming out.
Students wrote in a WeChat group that they contacted the Chinese Embassy about the event and were told to see whether university officials attended and whether Chinese nationals had organized the talk. They later wrote that they sent photos to Chinese officials.
In the following days, Chinese student groups published a "bulletin report" about Turdush's talk. The bulletin, which was co-signed by five McMaster student groups, including the Chinese Students and Scholars Association (CSSA), noted contact with the Chinese Consulate in Toronto.
The incident at McMaster was pieced together using records of a group chat conducted in Chinese and translated by The Washington Post, interviews with three people who attended the event, video footage, and the bulletin.
It offers a vivid example of how Chinese students have grown into a vocal and coordinated force on Western campuses, monitoring and pushing back against speech they deem critical of China. It is of particular note because it is unusual to find written evidence of apparent coordination with officials.
Though student organizing and heated debate are common and important parts of campus life, contact with the Chinese Consulate may cross a line, experts said, and will no doubt renew questions about the Chinese Communist Party's efforts to influence foreign institutions, including universities.
"As with many things involving China, there is a continuum, running from what is acceptable to not acceptable," said David Mulroney, who served as Canada's ambassador to China from 2009 to 2012.
Students rallying around a cause is absolutely acceptable, he said, but coordination with diplomats generally goes beyond normal involvement. "The fact they want to know which academics attend hints at desire to stop academic freedom," he said.
Multiple calls to the Chinese Consulate in Toronto went unanswered. The Chinese Embassy in Ottawa did not respond to a written request for comment. Reached by phone, two men in the embassy's education section declined to discuss the incident.
Gord Arbeau, director of communications at McMaster, said the school was aware of the incident but was still looking into exactly what happened.
"We are concerned if anyone felt they would be under surveillance while attending an event on campus," he said. "This would not be in keeping with our principles of free speech and respectful dialogue that we uphold at McMaster."
According to the Canadian Bureau for International Education, there were more than 140,000 students from China in Canada in 2017.
As the number of Chinese students at foreign universities has grown, educators have expressed concern that student activism carried out with the support or direction of Chinese officials could corrode free speech by making students and scholars, particularly those with family ties to China, afraid to criticize the Communist Party.
This week, more than 10,000 people signed a petition trying to block a Tibetan woman from running for student president at the University of Toronto at Scarborough, because of her pro-Tibetan social media posts. The case was written up in Communist Party-run nationalist media in China.
In 2017, students at the University of California at San Diego, after reportedly consulting with the Chinese Consulate in Los Angeles, mounted large protests condemning the university for naming as commencement speaker the Dalai Lama — the Tibetan spiritual leader who is considered a separatist and anathema by the Chinese government.
The protests come at a time when the ruling Communist Party under President Xi Jinping has ratcheted up nationalist and ideological education within China, outlawed historical criticism of the party, and moved to purge Western influence from textbooks.
Xi in 2016 called on students studying abroad to serve their country. The same year, the Chinese Education Ministry issued a directive calling for a "contact network" connecting "the motherland, embassies and consulates, overseas student groups, and the broad number of students abroad" and ensuring that they will "always follow the Party."
There are students who came of age in the Xi era who may see defending government positions and working with officials as natural and necessary, experts said.
"Among some Chinese students who just came from China, they are so used to the government telling them what to do all the time, they need to seek guidance," said Lynette Ong, an associate professor of political science at the University of Toronto.
The McMaster incident took place Feb. 11, when a user named "Mr. Shark" shared a picture of a brochure for Turdush's talk with a large WeChat group of Chinese-speaking students.
People participating in the chat expressed disbelief that their government operated mass detention centers, saying they had not seen Chinese news reports about them. (The centers have been widely covered in international media, but many of these reports are censored in China.)
Other students suggested calling the Chinese Consulate. Mr. Shark, meanwhile, added more than 100 other students to the group chat to bring Turdush's talk to their attention.
In a conversation with a Post reporter on WeChat, Mr. Shark, who said he is studying engineering and declined to provide more personal details or his real name, said many Chinese students felt that criticism of their country amounted to an attack on themselves.
He said he had no connection to the government and was motivated by a sense of anger. Many of the other students were in fact disappointed that their embassy did not speak up forcefully to condemn Turdush, he said, adding that Chinese students "should rationally express our point of view and let our embassy know this event exists."
He did not believe freedom of speech on campuses applied to Turdush, he said, because the issue in Xinjiang, the autonomous territory in northwest China where most Uighurs live, has already been "elevated to an ethnic issue."
"It's no longer purely an issue about a country or politics," he said. Turdush "is stirring ethnic hatred."
When asked whether he thought university campuses should provide a forum for other polarizing issues, such as the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, he said he had no opinions about politics. He chided a Post reporter, who is of Chinese descent, for thinking like a "baizuo" — Chinese Internet slang meaning "white liberal."
"We study-abroad students don't know anything about politics, we just know our personal interest and our sense of belonging to our nation," he said. "If other people hurt us, smear us, we have to counterattack."
On Wednesday, several Chinese student organizations put out a joint statement reproaching McMaster for hosting a "separatist" critic of the Chinese government and demanded that the university uphold its "duty of supervision."
In a statement, McMaster's Muslim Students' Association and Muslims for Justice and Peace, the groups that organized the event, said they are "highly concerned" by what they called an attempt to silence coverage of human rights issues on campus.
Turdush, the activist, said the experience left her unnerved.
As she was set to begin, she said, she saw a student standing at the back of the room, filming the door. As she delivered her presentation, she noticed another student filming her. "I felt like he was sent by the consulate to distract me," she said.
She worried that people filming and potentially reporting students or scholars to Chinese officials could threaten academic freedom.
"Uighurs are sending me messages," Turdush said, "They ask, 'How can these guys do this in Canada?' "
Shih reported from Beijing and Rauhala from Washington.
Uighurs fled persecution in China. Now Beijing's harassment has followed them to Australia.

The evolution of Rolls-Royce's popular 20/25 HP model
Finished in dark blue with black fenders
Sir Frederick Henry Royce was born in 1863 and was brought up in humble poverty, but he would go on to become one of the greatest engineers in history. He strove for perfection in everything he did, and this was epitomized in a comment he made to his local vicar in West Wittering, England, where he was living at the time. After helping with a lawnmower repair, Royce inspired famous sculptor Eric Gill, the vicar's son, to carve a Latin phrase in a stone mantelpiece in Royce's home which translated as: "Whatever is rightly done, however humble, is noble." By the time Sir Henry Royce passed in 1933, his legacy in Rolls-Royce Motor Cars and Rolls-Royce aero engines was set in stone, and his principles would go on to guide the company for years to come.
The Rolls-Royce 20/25 HP was first introduced to the public in 1929 as a stable mate to the much larger Phantom II. By 1936, the 20/25 had been developed into the bigger and more powerful 25/30. The engine capacity had been enlarged to 4,257 cubic centimeters, and power was approximately 115 brake horsepower at 4,500 rpm, producing a top speed of around 80 mph.
For about the first half of Rolls-Royce's 100-plus years, the marque was inextricably linked to the great coachbuilders of the day, whose skills complemented the chassis of Rolls-Royce with a quality and elegance that became world famous. Coachwork by James Young was one of the most sought after, and it was often associated with the brand itself.
This 25/30 received a stately four-door saloon body by James Young, a very well-respected coachbuilder with close ties to Rolls-Royce. Finished in a subtle combination of black with dark blue, the body suits the 25/30 chassis well. The driver's compartment interior is finished in leather for its durability while the rear passenger compartment is upholstered in comfortable striped beige fabric, a common practice of the era for chauffeur driven vehicles. Built into the trunk is a practical toolkit should the driver ever find themselves in need of a quick repair. Trafficators in the B-pillars allow the car to safely change lanes without the need for hand signals and the addition of seat belts make touring safer for its passengers.
With a body by one of the finest English coachbuilders, this 25/30 offers its passengers a luxurious pre-war motoring experience. Its presence on the road remains just as grand today as it did eighty-five years ago.
