The Navy League
(Auckland New Zealand Branch).
Inaugural Meeting.
The Auckland Branch of the Navy League was inaugurated on the evening of Friday, 21st February, 1896, by a Lecture in the Hall of the Young Men's Christian Association, at Auckland, by Mr. W. J. Napier, Barrister, of Auckland, on "The British Navy : Its Duties and its Strength."
There was an overflowing audience of ladies and gentlemen. The platform was occupied by members of the Executive Committee of the League, including the Mayor of Auckland (J, J. Holland, Esq.), Judge Von Sturmer, J. Savage, Esq., G. S. Budge, Esq., Thos, Henderson, Esq., J. M. Brigham, Esq. The President of the Branch, Malcolm Niccol, Esq. (Chairman of the Auckland Harbour Board and Mayor of Devonport), occupied the Chair.
A musical programme of a patriotic and national character was given at intervals during the lecture, and limelight views of naval incidents were also exhibited. A number of interesting relics of the Napoleonic wars were exhibited by Mr. Edwin Harrow, of Takapuna.
The audience was most enthusiastic throughout the whole of the proceedings.
The British Navy.
Its Duties and Its Strength?.
Mr. Napier, who on rising was received with applause, said:—
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen,—The inauguration in this city of a branch of the Navy League of Great Britain should be regarded as an event of the highest importance to the Colony.
This League may now be said practically to have limits co-terminous with those of the Empire, its branches being found in almost every country where the Union Jack waves as an emblem of sovereignty. The League is thus practically a confederation of British subjects for an Imperial purpose, and may be the humble beginning of greater schemes or systems of Imperial Federation, which will gradually be evolved by the necessities of the Empire and of the people who submit to its rule.
As one of the objects of the League is "To spread information showing the vital importance to the British Empire of the Naval Supremacy upon which depend its trade empire and national existence," it is fitting that the first public meeting of our Branch should be devoted to a consideration of facts which will tend to bring vividly to our minds the meaning and significance of the phrase "the British Navy," the great functions it exercises and the duties it performs in peace, and what it should be prepared for and be in a position to accomplish in time of war. We shall then be capable of estimating the unwisdom, if not the almost criminal folly, of those whose parsimony would, while nominally preserving an equality with certain foreign powers, reduce our navy to a condition not of predominance on the seas, but of impotence.
It might be asked by censorious critics in Great Britain why colonists should concern themselves so greatly about the British Navy, which is (excepting a small contribution for the expenses of the ships of the local station by Australasia) exclusively maintained by the taxpayers of the United page 4 Kingdom, and the adage of "fools rushing in where [unclear: angry] fear to tread," might be cynically quoted for our [unclear: benefit] Little Englanders at Home; but apart from the fact that every true colonist takes a warm interest in the concerns of [unclear: ti] Empire for sentimental reasons, and perhaps also from [unclear: motir] of self-interest, there is the force of verity in the words Froude, that "If the British Empire is still to have a [unclear: prolong] career before it, the men who make empires are the men [unclear: w] can hold them together." To hold the Empire together the future, whatever the political system may be which performs the functions of Government over it as a [unclear: who] there will be required a navy which in numbers, equipment and fighting force should be stronger than any probable combination which might be brought against us. There is, know, felt by many, and justly so, a proud reliance [unclear: on] skill and bravery of British officers and seamen, and it is [unclear: oft] airily said that a British sailor is worth three foreigners. [unclear: The] sentiment may gratify our national vanity, and may and [unclear: dc] contain a proportion of truth, but under the conditions modern naval warfare, whatever might have been [unclear: permissi] in past times, we cannot place so large a value on [unclear: me] personal valour, though that element will always count. [unclear: In] this connection I might perhaps not inappropriately [unclear: quote] incident from history, connected with the British Navy in[unclear: t] days of its infancy, and illustrating in a remarkable [unclear: man] the coolness, intrepidity, and dauntless courage of English naval commanders. This incident is one of those episodes the national life which shine like beacon lights adown [unclear: t] centuries, and which inspire succeeding generations of English men to emulate the glorious deeds of heroes now no [unclear: mo]. It is further calculated at this present day, when [unclear: was] alarms are in our daily atmosphere, to impart to us a confident that in the day of peril our navy will acquit itself in a [unclear: man] befitting its traditions. In Sir Edward Creasy's "Fifteen Decisive Battles of the World," there is narrated the [unclear: incid] to which I allude.
"On the afternoon of the nineteenth July, 1588, a group English Captains was collected at the Bowling Green [unclear: on] Hoe at Plymouth, whose equals have never before or [unclear: si] been brought together. There was Sir Francis Drake, [unclear: the] first English circumnavigator of the globe, the terror of [unclear: ev] Spanish coast in the Old World and the New; there [unclear: was] John Hawkins, the rough veteran of many a daring voyage the African and American seas, and of many a [unclear: despe] battle; there was Sir Martin Frobisher, one of the [unclear: earli] explorers of the Arctic seas in search of that North [unclear: west] Passage which is still the darling object of England's [unclear: bold] mariners; there was the High Admiral of England, [unclear: li] Howard of Effingham, who kept the ships afloat at his [unclear: or] cost, in defiance of his Sovereign's orders to dismantle [unclear: the] page 5 and there, too, was Sir Walter Raleigh, of immortal memory. In the harbour lay the English fleet, with which they had just returned from a cruise to Corunna in search of information respecting the movements of the Spanish Armada, A match at bowls was being played, in which Drake and other high officers of the fleet were engaged, when a small armed vessel was seen running before the wind in to Plymouth Harbour, with all sails set. Her commander landed in haste, and eagerly sought the place where the English Lord Admiral and his Captains were standing. The stranger told the English officers that he had that morning seen the Spanish Armada off the Cornish coast. At this exciting information the Captains began to hurry down to the water, and there was a shouting for the ships' boats; but Drake cooly checked his comrades, and insisted that the match should be played out. He said that there was plenty of time both to win the game of bowls and beat the Spaniards also." (Cheers.)
The calm consciousness of Drake as to the preparedness of his tiny fleet, and his confidence as to the result of its impending encounter with a foe boastfully christened "The Invincible Armada," should preserve us from the timidity and faintheartedness of the croaker and the pessimist, and though we intend to work according to our powers and influence, however limited, to increase the efficiency and strength of the Navy, yet we ought not to doubt that the spirit exhibited by Drake animates to-day the breasts of a legion of England's naval officers afloat and ashore, and would probably if the occasion arose achieve as glorious feats as those which have shed a lustre around the names of the Elizabethan heroes. (Applause.)
In order to rightly estimate the capacity of a machine we must first know the nature and the amount of the work it is expected and destined to perform, and likewise, in order to correctly judge as to the adequacy or inadequacy of the Imperial Navy, it is essential that we should consider what are its duties in time of peace and war respectively. I propose, therefore, to consider first what is to-day the special work of the British Navy, and thereafter to examine its fitness and capacity to perform that work. The British Empire is a sea-divided congeries of states—an Empire, as it has been beautifully said. "whose morning drum-beat, following the sun, and keeping company with the hours, encircles the globe with an unbroken chain of martial airs." The seat of Imperial power, the centre of Imperial administration being on an island, the first prime necessity of the Empire is ships. Commerce has built up the Empire, by commerce it lives and thrives, and for commerce a mercantile marine is indispensable. As Seely says in his "Expansion of England": "That ancient preconception which leads us always to think of ourselves as belonging to a single island should be rooted out of our minds." page 6 Commerce, then, being the life-blood of the Empire, it is essential for the protection of our commerce that the sea roads should be safe for the great argosies of trade. To afford this protection is the first duty of the navy. It must police the seas. The magnitude of this task can be discerned by a cursory glance at the extent of the Empire and its volume of trade at the present time. The area of the British Empire is 11,334,701 square miles, while the area of the United Kingdom alone is only 120,979 square miles. Thus, over 11,000,000 square miles of territory belonging to the Empire is over-sea. The vessels sailing under the British flag engaged in [unclear: commerce] number 36,078, of 13,192,566 tons, and with crews numbering 241,000 men. The tonnage of all the merchant ships of the other countries of the world is only 11,005,279 tons. The population of the Empire is 380,938,000, while the populatioin of the United Kingdom itself is only 38,104,000. Thus over 342,000,000 British subjects are beyond the seas. The Empire imports every year goods of the value of £640,000,000, and exports goods of the value of £471,000,000. The annua revenue of the Empire is £190,000,000.
One striking fact of the manufacturing enterprise of Great Britain will, perhaps, impress us with a sense of the rapidity of the expansion of British trade in the present century. A hundred years ago the value of the cotton and piece goods produced in the United Kingdom every year was, £22,000,000 now it is, £170,000,000.
In order to feed the population of the Mother Country, she requires, in addition to the productions of her own soil, to import every year from abroad 178,000,000 cwts. of cereals and flour, 244,000.000 lbs. of tea, 55,000,000 cwts. of dead [unclear: meal] and other foods, 500,000 live sheep, 475,000 live cattle, and 12,000,000 eggs, and equally stupendous quantities of goods to clothe her people and for other necessities are required. [unclear: Of] her food supply 25,000,000 cwts. of wheat and 16,000,000 cwts. of flour are sent to her from the United States, and 7,000,000 cwts. of wheat from Canada and Australasia. These few figures will, I think, enable us to grasp some idea of what the Imperial commerce is, and the paramount importance [unclear: of] safeguarding it by an adequate navy. No wonder that the Press of England is urging the Government to make greater and greater exertions to secure that the navy shall be supreme. The Times of November 15th last said : "The provision to be made in the Navy Estimates for the defensive requirements of the Empire is a question that transcends and governs [unclear: all] others. It is the root of our foreign policy. It is the only secure basis of domestic tranquility and security. . . . Supported by a navy adequate to the defensive requirements of the British Empire, the foreign policy of this country must always make for peace, and need never despair of maintaining it. Without such support the position of a British minister in page 7 the face of world-wide antagonisms, and of rival ambitions ever growing more restless and aggressive, must be of all public positions on earth the most intolerable to a patriotic statesman." (Applause.)
Now, the Navy will in time of war have four important duties to perform. First, to protect the gigantic commerce I have just described; second, to blockade the hostile squadrons in their own ports; third, to place a reserve squadron near England; and fourth, to protect our coaling stations.
I now proceed to describe as succinctly as I can the constitution and strength of the Navy from the latest official sources, and to consider whether or not it is sufficiently strong and sufficiently prepared to undertake the above mentioned principal and other ancillary duties which would be cast upon it in the event of England being involved in hostilities.
The Navy is a permanent establishment governed by statutes. Its administration is vested in a Commission by the Act 2 William and Mary c. 2. This Commission is the Board of Admiralty. This Board consists of the First Lord of the Admiralty, who is always a member of the Cabinet, and five other Commissioners. The duties of the several members of the Board are divided. The First Lord has the direction of all naval business, appointments, promotions, and kindred matters, and advises the Cabinet upon questions of maritime defence, naval policy, organisation, and other matters. The Second Lord is responsible for the manning of the fleet, and other things relating to the personnel. The Third Lord deals with material, dock-yards, and building. The Junior Lord deals with victualling, coaling, pay, and like matters. The Civil Lord is responsible for the Works Department.
The number of ships at present at the disposal of the Admiralty is as follows :—Battle ships (all classes), 44; port defence vessels, 17; first-class cruisers, 41; all other cruisers, 251; torpedo craft, 136; total number of ships of all classes and types, 489. The number of vessels on the various stations actually in commission, however, is much smaller, totalling only 160 of all types. They are at present distributed as follows:—Mediterranean, 31; Channel, 19; North America and East Indies, 12; South-east Coast of America, 4; Pacific, 7; Africa, 18; India, 9; China, 26; Australasia, 12; training squadron, 4; particular service, II; surveying, 7; total, 160.
The total number of officers, seamen, boys, coastguard, and Royal marines provided for by last year's estimates is 83,400, an increase of 6,700 on the year 1894. In addition to this number there is the Pensioners' Reserve, in which all men whose age does not exceed 55 years are liable to be called out. This reserve at present numbers 28,674, which, added to the above total of 83,400, gives a grand total of available page 8 men and boys of 112,074. The composition of the force is follows:—
For the Fleet.
Flag Officers 14
Commissioned Officers 2,905
Subordinate Officers 572
Warrant Officers 1,006
Petty Officers and Seamen 48,035
Boys 4,494
Coast Guard.
Commissioned Officers 89
Chief Officers of Stations 232
Petty Officers and Seamen 3,879
Marines.
Commissioned Officers 358
Warrant Officers 28
Staff Sergeants and Sergeants 955
Buglers and Musicians 602
Rank and Kile 13,422
The total cost for the past year of this large [unclear: force] £17,366,100, an increase of £3,126,000 over the expenditure of 1894. This increase is due principally to extra ship [unclear: bui] ing and armaments. The increase in the expenditure [unclear: does] however, imply that the nation has been [unclear: strengthening] forces by what, £3,000,000 represents, as for several [unclear: years] to 1894 the estimates had been decreasing, so that the [unclear: increase] last year only made up for leeway. This sum [unclear: of] £17,000,000 was expended under the following heads [unclear: (I] round numbers) :—Wages, £3,900,000; victualling and clothing £1,400,000; medical, £144,000; law, £10.ooo; education £79,000; scientific, £61,000; Royal Navy Reserve, £205,00 shipbuilding and repairs, £7,000,000: naval [unclear: armamen] £1,380,000; works and buildings, £650,000 : office expense £231,000; miscellaneous, £173,000; half and retired [unclear: pay] £757,000; pensions, £1,303,000; additional force for [unclear: At] tralasia, £60,000.
It is gratifying to notice that since 1890 the [unclear: number] officers and men has been increased by 14,600.
With regard to building operations, to which more [unclear: an] more attention is now being directed, thanks in no [unclear: sligi] measure to the exertions of the Navy League and its [unclear: repn] sentatives and spokesmen in Parliament and the Press, [unclear: o] of the sum of £12,850,000 authorised to be spent in [unclear: ship] building by the Naval Defence Acts, 1889-93, there has been spent £12,220,000, leaving only £630,000 still [unclear: unexpendture] page 9 During the past seven years an annual charge for contract expenditure on the naval defence ships has been made on the consolidated revenue. This charge terminates on March 31st next, when fresh provision will have to be made. In addition to the sum spent for building which I have just mentioned, there has been expended during the past year for building ships not covered by the Naval Defence Act a sum of £4,669.000. The building programme for the past financial year was to commence 7 battle ships, 6 cruisers of the second class, and 2 sloops. Considerable progress has been made with all these. The new battle ships have been christened "The Prince George," "Caesar," "Victorious," "Illustrious," "Hannibal," "Mars," and "Jupiter." The cruisers are to have a speed under forced draught of 19.5 knots an hour. Two first-class cruisers have been completed during the year, "The Terrible" and "The Powerful," which will have a continuous sea speed of 20 knots an hour, and a forced draught speed of 24 knots an hour. In addition to these, 42 new torpedo boat destroyers have been completed, which will travel from 26 to 29 knots an hour. A special training ship, "The Northampton," has recently been commissioned to visit the various ports of the United Kingdom and recruit lads of higher age than those who enter through the ordinary training establishments, and this plan has been found to work most successfully in increasing the number of lads in training for future seamen. The number of boys entered last year for the fleet was 3,700. In order to increase the number of well-qualified seamen, it is proposed to draft for the future 800 sailors annually from the mercantile marine into the fleet. Since the 1st of January last a new regulation has come into force, which will still further add to the effective strength in men. This regulation requires men to serve twelve years from the time of obtaining the rate of ordinary seamen before being entitled to their discharge, instead of ten years as hitherto. The effect of this will be to give a large increase in the number of available prime seamen.
Such, then, is a summarized account of the Navy's strength to-day. Having now ascertained the important and onerous duties which devolve upon the Navy, and seen its present strength, let us consider whether it can be prudently regarded as sufficiently strong to perform its great work, to police the world's seas, convoy our ocean commerce, and protect and render invulnerable the heart and extremities of the umpire. We cannot disguise from ourselves the fact that at present England stands in the world absolutely without allies. Her interests being so world-wide, touch and come into contact, and frequently into conflict with, those of nearly every other power. Hence she is regarded with jealousy and distrust. Her wealth and powers of expansion excite the envy and cupidity of other nations.
The uprise in a hundred years of such an Empire as the world has never before seen has changed the thoughts diplomats, fashioned new theories, and shaped new dreams of national greatness. With regard to this new born Empire, of which every subject of the Queen is so proud, it has fallen [unclear: to] the lot of this our generation largely to decide whether it [unclear: is] exist to the remotest posterity, or to pass away early [unclear: and] remembered in history as the ephemeral phenomenon [unclear: of] feverish age. The Times newspaper recently said : "The next century will probably determine the fate of the Empire, and [unclear: than] fate will largely depend on the sagacity, forethought, and resolve which the statesmen and people of this country bring during the next few years to the consideration of the things which belong to their peace. If we are resolved now and hereafter to [unclear: secure] and maintain, at all hazards, the command of the sea, the Empire is as safe from disruption and overthrow as human forethought can make it. If we falter in that resolve, if [unclear: we] shrink from the burdens it imposes and the sacrifices it may entail, the British Empire will inevitably fall to pieces."
Now, all thinking men admit that it is not sufficient [unclear: for] England to possess a navy capable of crushing the navy of any other single power. These are pre-eminently the [unclear: days] alliances and big confederations. It is imperative that we [unclear: should] regard the possibility of two or more foreign powers [unclear: forming] offensive alliance against Great Britain. Such being the [unclear: case] the solution of the question lies in a nutshell. Our [unclear: navy] should be not only as strong, but stronger, than any two navies of the world in battle ships, and should largely [unclear: out] on number in first-class and second-class cruisers any [unclear: possible] combination which might be formed against us. (Cheers.)
As I have indicated before, naval warfare in the future will be largely a question of arithmetic. Heroism and skill [unclear: and] great factors, and will continue to be so, but they will [unclear: have] minimum of potency against walls of iron and 100 ton [unclear: gun]. Now, the total number of men and boys, including reserve available is, as I have stated, 112,000. But in the last great naval war England maintained a naval force of 145,000 [unclear: ma] and this, too, when the population of the United Kingdom [unclear: an] Colonies was not half what it is at present, and when what might call the commercial duties of the fleet were insignificant compared to what those duties are now. And at this hour the French Naval Force provided for by the French estimated before the Chamber of Deputies is 157,000 men, most of whom are presumably available.
Now let us compare the British fleet with the [unclear: fleets] other powers. I will take for comparison France, Russia, Italy and Germany as being the strongest powers, and those [unclear: with] which war may be possible. The following table will show the relative strength of the respective fleets of those countries as compared with those of the British Empire :— page 11
Battle Ships (all classes).
Port Defence Vessels.
First Class Cruisers.
All Other Cruisers.
Torpedo Craft.
Great Britain 44 17 41 251 136 489
France 33 18 17 138 230 436
Russia 18 25 14 57 75 189
Italy 12 4 9 52 147 224
Germany 15 13 9 30 134 201
It will be seen from these figures that France and Russia combined have 51 bat tie-ships, against England's 44; but they have only 31 first-class cruisers, against England's 41. In the inferior classes of cruisers they again have a superiority in numbers to England, possessing combined 245, against England's 251; and they have also a superiority in torpedo craft, having 305, against England's 136, It is true that some of England's battle-ships out-class those of France and Russia, but it is not a comforting thought that we have 7 fewer fighting ships of the first rank than what a Franco-Russian coalition could put forward on an outbreak of war. Moreover, it has been calculated that in order to commission all our available ships for war, at least 40,000 additional seamen would be required, and a reserve would necessarily have to be formed, which competent authorities state should not be less than 20,000; so that 60,000 more seamen are really required to place our present navy on a war footing. In order to supply these there would be available the pensioners, coastguards, marines, and Royal Naval Reserve, from which a muster could be made of 50,000, leaving a deficiency to be provided of ro.ooo men. According to Lord Charles Beresford, a naval officer of high distinction, it is necessary for England's safety that the British fleet should be one-third stronger than the combined fleets of France and Russia. For this purpose a sum of £18,070,000 must be spent over and above the present estimates voted by Parliament, Lord George Hamilton, speaking in the House of Commons, said :—"I think I am correct in saying that our establishment should be on such a scale that it should be at least equal to the naval strength of any two other countries. For the purpose of meeting unexpected blows we should have a considerable margin of reserve."
The present Governor of Victoria, Lord Brassey, has stated: "Our standard of strength in battle-ships should be twice that of France." Sir Charles Dilke, than whom no man has given greater attention to Imperial questions, recently uttered these words: "What we have to do is to make our page 12 navy so strong that we shall be able to keep the seas [unclear: open] against any probable enemy. . . . The whole war may be settled in a few months, and victory will probably be on the side of the Power that is prepared to strike the hardest [unclear: blow] within the first few hours after the outbreak of hostilities."
Admiral Sir John Hay says : We ought to have for every possible ship that any possible enemy can have, another [unclear: ship] or another two ships to take possession of that ship and [unclear: be] responsible for her." Admiral Colomb adjures us in [unclear: emphati] language : "Keep the command of the sea as you [unclear: value] national life. With it you can do everything. Without [unclear: it] you will be speedily blotted out of the list of nations."
This concurrence of authoritative testimony as to [unclear: ot] unpreparedness to meet hostile combinations should [unclear: impress] us deeply. The imagination palls before the vision of what would happen to this Empire in the event of a decisive reverse at sea. If the English fleet was crippled in a great navy battle, it is not alone the geographical changes which [unclear: would] ensue that we should have to deplore, but the vast population of the Empire would be face to face with starvation. [unclear: Our] trade and commerce would be annihilated, our industries [unclear: would] perish, and suffering and famine would stalk through the land.
Just listen for a moment to what two French naval officer recently wrote in a work called an "Essai de Strategic. They say: "There are no laws of war but those of the strongest: generosity is only cowardice, feebleness, or folly. They add that France will (I) Raid the Bristol Channel, the Channel, and the Thames with fast cruisers; (2) destroy English shipping in the Mediterranean; (3) plunder, [unclear: bur] and sink English shipping on the distant seas; (4) [unclear: bombas] at night defenceless towns, such as Brighton or [unclear: Hastings] and kill or maim hundreds of helpless women, [unclear: children], invalids. Another French writer, in a brochure called [unclear: "Ph] d'Angleterre," describes the defeat of England by France, [unclear: and] gives the terms of our disgrace:—(I) Every English [unclear: warship] afloat or on the stocks to be surrendered to France; (2) [unclear: and] more than fifty warships to be maintained by us in the future (3) our army not to exceed 50,000 men; (4) an [unclear: indemnity] 560,000,000 to be paid to France; (5) Dover to be [unclear: surrender] to France in perpetuity; (6) the Channel Islands, [unclear: Gibral] Malta, Cyprus, Sierra Leone, the Gold Coast, the [unclear: Cape] Mauritius, the Seychelles, Amirantes and Chagos, [unclear: Ada] Perim, Socotra, Ceylon, Hong Kong, New Guinea, New Zealand, Tasmania, Fiji, Vancouver, British Guiana, the British West Indies, Quebec, and Newfoundland, to be [unclear: ced] to France; (7) Egypt to be evacuated; (8) the [unclear: Egypti] antiquities and Elgin marbles in the British Museum [unclear: to] given up to France. (Great laughter and ironical cheers.)
Much as we may regret the fact, the above [unclear: quotations] not the idle vapourings of venomous featherheads in [unclear: Paris] page 13 but the ideas they represent are held by large numbers of Frenchmen to whom England is "Perfidious Albion." Whatever diplomacy may do to soften French animosity, and it has within the past few weeks even done much, it is evident that until the day when England, France, and Russia shall see their way to join hands in an alliance to secure their common interests and the world's peace, the people of the British Empire should strain every nerve and endure any sacrifices in order to place the Navy in a position of unquestioned supremacy over the combined French and Russian fleets. (Loud applause.)
According to competent authorities, we should possess 200 effective cruisers, capable of steaming 16 knots, in order to protect our commerce and patrol the Channel. But at present we have barely half that number. Our ironclad battle-ship force also is seriously inadequate, as we have only 47, whereas we should possess 60. The armament of many of our ships is very defective according to modern requirements. Out of the total number of English ironclads of all types, no less than 46 have no large quick-firing guns. Seven of our best battleships are without them, while the French and Russians are placing them on board all their serviceable ships. Again, on board 33 of our ironclads the heavy guns are muzzle-loaders, quite out of date, "clumsy to handle, awkward to load, slow in their fire, feeble in their power." Every single French and Russian ship is armed with breech-loaders. As to the machinery of the fleet, an eminent authority recently said "the greater number of our ships have worn-out boilers and antiquated engines." Not to weary you with excessive detail but too calculated to dispirit us, it is safe to affirm that no one who has the welfare of the nation at heart can regard the present condition of the Navy as satisfactory. The Naval authorities, like all functionaries and governing bodies, are apt to become easy-going and lethargic if not occasionally galvanised into increased activity by the healthy breezes of public opinion.
As to the personnel of the Navy, its physique, discipline, and spirit, I believe there is nothing further to be desired. The men of to-day are fully equal to their predecessors. (Hear, hear.) In the beginning of this lecture I related an incident which happened three centuries ago to show what spirit and cool bravery the founders of our Navy possessed. Let me now at the close of my remarks, in order to prove that the same spirit and indomitable pluck are alive to-day in the breasts of our naval officers, tell you of an incident which happened, I might say, but yesterday and almost at our own doors. I allude to the escape of the "Calliope" from the hurricane at Samoa in 1889. (Applause.) I will tell it you in the exquisite English of one whom I had the good fortune and happiness to rank among my personal friends, but who has been lately page 14 snatched away from the world in the spring-time of life and the heyday of his fame. I allude to the gifted writer, Robert Louis Stevenson. In his work "A Footnote to History," Stevenson, after describing the storm with graphic [unclear: fore] and inimitable picturesqueness, refers to the escape of the "Calliope" in the following words:—
"Between the 'Vandalia' and the reef it was destruction. The one possibility of escape was to go out. If the engine should stand, it they should have power to drive the ship against wind and sea, if she should answer the helm, if the wheel, rudder and gear should hold out, and if they were favoured with a clear blink of weather in which to see and avoid the outer reef—there and there only were safety. Upon this catalogue of 'ifs' Kane staked his all. He signalled the engineer for every pound of steam—and at that moment much of the machinery was already red-hot. The ship want sheered well to starboard of the 'Vandalia,' the last remaining cable slipped. For a time—and there was no onlooker so cold-blooded as to offer a guess at its duration—the 'Calliope lay stationary, then gradually drew ahead. The highest speed claimed for her that day is of one sea mile an hour, but according to Admiral Kimberly the 'Calliope' in this first stage of her escape must have taken more than two hours [unclear: I] cover less than four cables. As she thus crept seaward, should buried bow and stern alternately under the billows. In the fairway of the entrance the American flagship 'Trenton' still held on. Her rudder was broken, her wheel carried away within she was flooded with water from the peccant [unclear: haws] pipes; she had just made the signal 'fires extinguished,' and lay helpless, awaiting the inevitable end. Between this melancholy hulk and the external reef Kane must find a path Steering within fifty yards of the reef (for which she was actually headed), and her foreyard passing on the other hand over the 'Trenton's ' quarter as she rolled, the 'Calliope sheered between the rival dangers, came to the wind triumphantly, and was once more pointed for the sea and safety. No often in naval history was there a moment of more sickening peril, and it was dignified by one of those incidents that reconcile the chronicler with his otherwise abhorrent task. From the doomed flagship the Americans hailed the success of the English with a cheer. It was led by the old Admiral in person, rang out over the storm with holiday vigour, and was answered by the Calliopes with an emotion easily conceived. This ship of their kinsfolk was almost the last external object seen from the ' Calliope' for hours; immediately after the mists closed about her till the morrow. She was safe at [unclear: so] again una de multis." (Great applause.)
And now, ladies and gentlemen, I think I have said enough to justify the existence of the Navy League, to justify the people of the Empire in taking upon themselves to insist [unclear: that] page 15 their servants in high places shall take such measures as will ensure the integrity and safety of their great heritage. Let Britain command the sea, and she will live; let her lose that command, and she will perish miserably. Euripides tells us that "the sea washes off all the woes of men." If, therefore, we would preserve for our people the freedom and happiness which they now enjoy, if we would ward off from our fellow-countrymen woes and affliction and suffering well-nigh inconceivable, let us preserve for our Empire the sea which was its cradle, and to which it owes its continued existence. How can this be done ? By the Fleet. Upon the Fleet depends our honour, our liberty, our prosperity, our homes, our daily sustenance; to the Fleet we look to save from dismemberment this mighty fabric of Empire, whose mission it is to uplift humanity and to spread broadcast the blessings of freedom and civilisation. Falter not, therefore, in your efforts to sustain and to strengthen that fleet, and let no false parsimony paralyse its arm in the day of peril. Peace—pax Britannica—is essential for the Empire's development, and such a peace can only be assured by a strong Navy always prepared for war. The British Fleet is the nation's shield, and under Divine Providence holds in its hands the nation's destiny. As the late Poet Laureate has beautifully said :—
"The Fleet of England is her All-in-All;
Her Fleet is in your hands,
And in her Fleet her Fate."
Mr. Napier resumed his seat amidst loud and prolonged applause.
His Worship the Mayor of Auckland (J. J. Holland, Esq.) moved : "That a hearty vote of thanks be accorded to Mr. Napier for his very able and instructive lecture."
This was seconded by Judge Von Sturmer, and on being put to the meeting was carried unanimously amidst cheers.
A vote of thanks to the Chairman and the musicians having been passed, the vast audience rose to its feet and sang the National Anthem. This closed the proceedings.

Johnny Morris and Richard Childress to lead the field to the green flag at Talladega this Sunday in Dale Earnhardt's legendary No. 3 race car!
October 11, 2019 missourimag Sports, Trending 0
Racing fans around the world will pay tribute to the memory and legacy of Dale Earnhardt Sr. this weekend, with Bass Pro Shops founder and noted conservationist Johnny Morris set to ride alongside racing legend Richard Childress driving the last racecar Dale Earnhardt Sr. piloted to victory. The No. 3 returns to that same track – Talladega Superspeedway – where Childress and Morris will drive the ceremonial pace car for the NASCAR Cup Series Talladega 500 playoff race on Sunday, October 13.
Sunday's race marks the first time the iconic black and red No. 3 car will be taken out of the Richard Childress Racing (RCR) Museum in Welcome, North Carolina, still equipped with the same engine Earnhardt used to secure his final victory in 2000 before his tragic passing in 2001.
"Dale Earnhardt was a true champion, not only in racing but also in life. As a fan and later as a close friend, I came to deeply respect Dale's passion and enduring spirit, which will undoubtedly be with us this Sunday," said Morris, an avid racing fan. "I'm deeply humbled and darn excited to be joining my good friend and conservation partner Richard Childress at such a legendary place inside The Intimidator's No. 3. This will be a moment I cherish for the rest of my life. I am truly grateful to my friend Richard for this special opportunity, and congratulate him and his wife Judy on their milestone 50th anniversary of RCR."
A friendship rooted in a shared love of the outdoors
The connection between Morris, Childress and Earnhardt dates back more than 20 years and is rooted in a shared love for racing and the outdoors. Morris and Bass Pro Shops got their start with NASCAR in 1998 by sponsoring Earnhardt's No. 3 with RCR for the All-Star Race. The trio quickly bonded over their passion for hunting and fishing, which inspired an idea to help advance conservation. Capitalizing on the popularity of Bass Pro Shops and one of NASCAR's most revered drivers, the group released a collection of co-branded merchandise benefitting conservation. The collection of t-shirts, die cast cars, mugs, lures and knives amazed NASCAR officials when it raised more than $10 million in just 30 days, with 100 percent of profits donated to conservation initiatives.
In the years that followed, the friends would enjoy time together on numerous hunting and fishing trips which served as a temporary respite from the high-stakes game of racing.
A noted conservationist, Morris continues to connect his dual passions of racing and the outdoors together. In 22 seasons as a NASCAR sponsor, Morris and Bass Pro Shops have donated space on its racecars each year to promote leading conservation organizations including Ducks Unlimited, National Wild Turkey Federation and the Quality Deer Management Association, showcasing the not-for-profit groups to tens of millions of fans.
Morris and Childress continue to partner together on critical conservation projects today. The two are both active with the Congressional Sportsmen's Foundation and the Boone and Crockett Club. Childress was also an honored guest at the grand opening of Johnny Morris' Wonders of Wildlife National Museum and Aquarium in Springfield, Missouri, which included more than four hundred of the nation's leading conservationists.
Full-circle at Talladega
Richard Childress' own racing career began at Talladega in 1969 when he competed in the inaugural NASCAR Grand National race. The next day, following a boycott by dozens of Cup Series drivers including Richard Petty over safety concerns due to high speeds from the track's extreme design, Childress was asked by Talladega Superspeedway founder and former NASCAR president Bill France to race in the first Talladega 500. The fearless Childress took the money he earned from that memorable race to purchase a piece of land and open a garage, which ultimately became RCR, one of the most prominent teams in all of professional racing. The opportunity to honor Dale and his Talladega victory is part of RCR's 50th Anniversary Celebration.
Earnhardt, affectionately known as The Intimidator, won his last career race at Talladega in 2000, edging out Kenny Wallace by 0.119 second. 10 of Earnhardt's 76 career wins came at Talladega Superspeedway. As a team owner, Childress has won 12 races at Talladega, nine of which came with Earnhardt Sr. behind the wheel.
Following Earnhardt's victory at Talladega in October 1999, Childress awarded the team's championship trophy to Morris, which is now on display inside the Bass Pro Shops Motorsports Museum at the company's National Headquarters in Springfield, Missouri. The free gallery also features the No. 3 Chevy Earnhardt piloted to his first and only checkered flag at The Great American Race – the Daytona 500. Childress and Earnhardt are also featured in the Racing for Conservation exhibit inside the Motorsports Museum.
Fans can watch Morris and Childress salute their friend and racing legend Dale Earnhardt by tuning in this Sunday, October 13 at 1 p.m. CST on NBC.

Bell Media and Twitter Partner for TV Analytics Initiatives
Posted on Jun 10 2013 Categories: Digital Headlines Tags: Amplify, Bell Media, CTV, Twitter
TORONTO (June 6, 2013) – In advance of the #CTVUpfront, Bell Media and Twitter announced today a partnership around a number of important analytics initiatives relating to social media and television. The research will focus on the social TV behaviour of Canadian viewers, the return on investment of social TV initiatives, and the relationship between audience engagement and Twitter activity.
"We're excited to continually expand our presence in the social media space through the power of our premium content. We are committed to measuring, sharing and applying knowledge from passionate social conversations to help our advertisers' brand campaigns become even more effective," said Kevin Crull, President, Bell Media. "Our content drives engagement, and Twitter 'amplifies' the conversation.
"Twitter is TV's social soundtrack," said Kirstine Stewart, country director of Twitter Canada. "Working closely with Bell Media, we will be able to accelerate the development of analytic tools mentioned and we look forward to sharing the findings with clients and industry."
With both Canada's most-followed media property (@MuchMusic) and most-followed media personality (@TSNBobMcKenzie), and a Twitter network with reach in the millions, Bell Media is a leader among media companies on Twitter. As one of the tools used in analytic development, Bell Media will also employ AMPLIFY, Twitter's branded, in-stream video tool that allows broadcasters to complement on-air content with timely in-tweet video clips.
This partnership highlights Bell Media's ongoing commitment to advertisers to provide the best opportunities for messaging and measurement. Twitter and Bell Media will work together to develop, execute, and analyze research, and will collaborate in the promotion and communication of this research in the press and industry forums.

The Dept. of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA) and the Bureau of Medical Marihuana Regulation (BMMR) will be presenting a series of educational sessions designed to familiarize potential licensees with the application process and the statewide monitoring system.
Representatives from Franwell – the company chosen to implement Michigan's statewide monitoring system for integrated marihuana tracking, inventory, and verification under the Marihuana Tracking Act – will be present at each of the five medical marihuana educational sessions to demonstrate Franwell's Metrc, the seed-to-sale tracking system, to potential licensees.
Metrc is a cloud-hosted, real-time, online software reporting system that will be used by licensed Michigan medical marihuana businesses to manage and report supply chain activities as required by state rules. Metrc uses serialized tags attached to every plant – and labels attached to wholesale packages – to track medical marijuana inventory through different stages of growth, as well the drying and curing processes.

Council bill would give landmarks agency something new: deadlines
The front gate of Green-wood Cemetery, a landmarked site.
A City Council bill introduced Tuesday would give the Landmarks Preservation Commission 18 months to make a decision on roughly 100 historic structures, some of which have sat in limbo since being proposed for landmark status in the 1960s. Last year, the commission caused an uproar from preservationists when it attempted to purge the properties wholesale from its dusty to-do list, before reversing itself.
Tuesday's legislation was introduced by City Council members Peter Koo, D-Queens, and David Greenfield, D-Brooklyn, and would also establish a time frame for the landmarking process, which currently can drag on indefinitely.
"This basically would clear the backlog, but more importantly, it would allow some predictability going forward," Mr. Greenfield said.
Currently, there is no time limit on how long Landmarks can keep an item "calendared," or under consideration, meaning the owners of the affected properties cannot make alterations without consent from the commission.
Should the bill pass, it would require the commission to hold a hearing on a structure or property within 180 days of receiving a request to consider it for historic status. The commission would then have another 180 days to vote. If an entire district is being considered, the commission would have a total of two years to make a call. In each case, if no action were taken, the property or district would be removed from the list and could not be resubmitted for five years.
"Clearly, the landmarks law needs a predictable timetable that provides reasonable expectations for both the community and property owners," Mr. Koo said in a statement.
The bill will likely make it to the full council for a vote: Mr. Koo chairs the subcommittee on Landmarks Public Siting and Maritime Uses, while Mr. Greenfield chairs the Land Use Committee, which plans to hold a hearing on the legislation in the coming months.
The backlog that the commission attempted to clear includes 80 properties that were calendared 20 or more years ago. Fifteen others were proposed for historic status prior to 2010.

Dating, disclosure and disability
Lara Irvine Ramp Up 17 Dec 2010
When is the right time to tell someone you fancy about the pitfalls of your chronic illness? Credit: Generistock (iStockphoto)
Having what they call an 'invisible illness' throws up a whole lot of questions... like why is the equipment that comes with it not invisible too? The 40 cm pair of tubes that emerge from my right-upper boob area (that's the technical term) and dangle suggestively around my navel all day sure seem pretty conspicuous to me. As does the IV pump and pole I connect them to several times a week. I'm not saying this doesn't have its advantages sometimes... there is nothing more effective for getting rid of the endless stream of people wanting me to change electricity providers than answering the knock at the door in full regalia. Sometimes I limp as well, just to add to the theatre of it all, and give a feeble cough when they say hello. Often, the poor backpacker on the stoop doesn't even make it through their opening spiel before the panic overwhelms them and they dash towards the neighbours.
Generally though, people have no idea the kind of things I do in the privacy of my own home to keep up the appearance of a 'normal' life. I know that's a luxury a lot of people with disabilities don't have, but it creates a whole new set of problems about disclosure. Is it on the first, second or twenty-seventh date that you tell someone that your digestive system is up shit creek and IV nutrition is what keeps you going?
I've been too sick to contemplate dating for a few years, and now that I'm ready to get back in the saddle I feel like a fish out of a barrel in a frying pan (or whatever that metaphor is). I'm quite a different person now to my younger days. Back then, I was just what they called 'unlucky-in-love'. Now, people seem to think of me as more unlucky in general. They no longer seem surprised that I'm single; rather, I should be grateful to still be here at all and really, expecting someone to commit to me in relationship terms is probably a bit greedy. Cue all-knowing expression and trite comment like, 'it's just down to fate and what the world has planned for you, Lara.' And then I rip off their arms and beat them to death with them (metaphorically, of course).
I also come with all these rules now; like don't stay up too late, be careful what and when I'm fed and never go swimming. A bit like a gremlin but with less eighties haircuts on the supporting cast (unless I'm visiting my aunty Kerry, but that's getting off topic). I'm just getting used to this new lifestyle myself, so how can I foist it on someone else?
'Definitely don't say anything until the third or fourth date,' advised one (fully able-bodied and healthy) friend. 'That kind of stuff would freak anyone out.' Hmm. Thanks for that little ego boost, buddy. So I tried her method, but at the time that meant keeping up the ruse that at 27 years of age, with two university degrees and no apparent impediments, I was unemployed and well-versed in the intricacies of daytime TV by choice. As it turned out, I never got to tell that guy about my illness because we never made it to the third date. I can't blame him - I wouldn't be interested in someone who knows as much about The Circle as I do either.
So keeping quiet til I decide the guy is a keeper doesn't seem to work, but then I'm not sure I want it as the headline in my RSVP profile either. 'Hi, I'm a girl who tires easily and takes Gastro-stop every single day ;) Let's chat!' Obviously that's not going to fly. I don't want potential partners to think of me as the kind of person who uses smiley emoticons, for one thing. Also though, there is a very unglamorous side to life with a digestive disorder... It's not all parking stickers and pension supplements, you know. Even if I do figure out how to tell Dan Sultan about all my issues (because clearly, that's who I intend to date), the reality of it all would turn anyone off. Even someone who loves me as much as Dan is sure to.
But I'm staying positive! Mainly because I have to though; I'm now a card carrying member of the disability community and A Current Affair says it's a part of the job description. There's got to be someone out there looking for a girl with a sedentary lifestyle, who works 12 hours a week and qualifies for the winter energy concession, right? Not to mention that I have mad ninja skills with all the remote controls in my house and I can make a perfect glass of hydrolyte WITHOUT EVEN MEASURING THE AMOUNTS. Suck on that, Masterchef Australia. All in all, I'm a bit of a catch... it's just that I come with a few as well.

In response to a request from one of my fans (would y'all consider yourselves my fans?) I'm going to explain the bug I was tracking down.
I suppose this is a violation of Clairvoyance's IP, but I think the only person who could accomplish anything useful with this information is the original author of the code.
So: we have this disk-based data structure that stores sequences of elements. (In the case we're using it, the elements are each four bytes.) Small sequences (less than a pageful) are stored without overhead. Sequences larger than an 8K page are stored as a linked list of pages. The leftover bit that doesn't fill a page is stored in a 'segment' within another page. Segment sizes are rounded up to the nearest 2K, so four segments can fit in a page.
The code does a typical trick for storing the extra information for the linked-list maintenance: it stores its information in the low 8 bytes of a page or segment, and it returns (address + 8) as the beginning of the segment.
The error was that when it was using a segment, it was adding 8 to the address of the segment twice, instead of once.
Normally, this doesn't cause any problems. If it's the first, second, or third segment on a page, there's no problem, because all the segments are shifted by the same amount, so there's no overlap. If it's the fourth segment on a page, there's usually not a problem, either. There's only a problem if the sequence in the fourth segment has exactly (2K - 8) bytes worth of data. In this case, filling out that sequence eventually writes beyond the end of the page. In the debug case, this gets caught by an assert; in the optimized case, much more mysterious things happen.
This is why the structure of 4 terms appearing 6648 times is so significant. The number of elements on a page is (8192 - 8) / 4 = 2046; the number of elements in a segment is (2048 - 8) / 4 = 510. 6648 is 3 * 2046 + 510, so a sequence of 6648 elements will use three pages and one completely full segment.
Now that I've explained the mystery, I'll talk about how I debugged it.
As I explained, this bug only comes up in a fairly obscure case. But once it came up, it would come up every time. And it was coming up in one of our very large databases.
We ran it in the debugger, and after 30 minutes or an hour, it hit that assert.
Unfortunately, due to failings of MSVC, I didn't have complete debugging information available in that class. I could have gotten that information available, but it would have taken just as long to get back to that crash point. So I wanted to get as much debugging information as possible before restarting the program.
I ended up looking up all the data by tracing pointers through a hex dump of memory. It was fairly arduous, but eventually successful. In doing so, I discovered that it was writing just beyond the end of the page.
There were two possibilities: either it was misallocating sequences, or it was writing more entries into the sequence than it had allocated. With more memory-tracing, I discovered that it had specified a sequence length of 6648, and it was writing element 6647.
I vaguely remembered the layout of this structure from a talk back in 1998; I reconstructed more of the layout from reading the code. I tried a few times to come up with numbers that would force the introduction of new segments--and then I realized that I already knew that 6648 would result in the introduction of a new segment, and used that four times. Once I had the smaller test case, it was a relatively straightforward matter of tracking it down.
I feel pretty proud. I think I nailed this bug much more quickly than many people might have.

Major determinants of the market growth
Technological advancements, surged adoption during the Covid-19 pandemic, and reduction in healthcare cost burden drive the growth of the global telemedicine market. However, poor infrastructure hinders the market growth. On the contrary, growth potential in developing countries and advent of AI-based clinics would open new opportunities for the market players in the future.
Covid-19 scenario:
The Covid-19 pandemic positively affected the telemedicine market due to postponement and cancellation of elective surgeries and appointments.
The decreased patient volume in hospitals and clinics posed an urgent need for physicians to adopt telehealth to connect with their patients.
The telepsychiatry segment to portray the highest CAGR through 2030
By application, the telepsychiatry segment would register the highest CAGR of 27.9% during the forecast period, due to increase in the patient pool of anxiety, stress, and mental illnesses. However, the teledermatology segment held the largest share of the global telemedicine market in 2020, accounting for nearly one-third of the market, owing to rise in the incidence of skin diseases across the globe.

The healthcare providers segment held the lion's share
By end user, the healthcare providers segment dominated the market in terms of revenue in 2020, contributing to nearly three-fifths of the global telemedicine market, as telemedicine offers less waiting time for patients to consult the doctor. However, the healthcare consumers segment is projected to register the highest CAGR of 28.0% from 2021 to 2030, due to rise in demand for mobile technologies, increase in adoption of home care by patients, and reduction in hospital visits.
North America dominated the market in terms of revenue
By region, the global telemedicine market across North America held the largest share in 2020, contributing to nearly half of the market, due to rise in government support and high infrastructural capability of telehealth services. However, the market across Asia-Pacific is anticipated to portray the highest CAGR of 29.0% during the forecast period, owing to rise in investment and campaigning about telemedicine services in developing countries.

I could not figure out why the "Go to XY" tool does not work, I click on the tool icon, and no thing appears! It was working well with ArcMap 10.2.2 ,What might be the problem here?
My guess is that the tool is opening off-screen. When you open the XY tool, look very closely at the edges of your screen for a sliver of new window that you may be able to drag back. Also, see this article for possible fixes to older versions - changing resolution to show more desktop area sounds promising. Otherwise, I suggest connecting to a dual monitor and dragging the window back to the center of ArcMap.
By the way, is there a way to prevent the dialog box from being off-screen?
I don't know of a way, but I'd be very interested to know, too! This is an issue for me working on dual monitors at the office, but one monitor at home via virtual desktop to the office machine - windows constantly opening off-screen on the wrong monitor.
Open ArcMap, - See if you can view the FIND XY..
There could be an issue with the build. Try installing the latest build of ArcGIS 10.3 for Desktop.
I've the same issue too... I've downloaded the latest build from my.esri.com but it seems not working too.
I've already delete the normal.mxt and searching aound the interface to found something but nothing.
Did you try repairing your 10.3 ArcGIS Desktop install? In Windows, go to Control Panel > Uninstall a program, locate ArcGIS 10.3 for Desktop and right click on it. Select the Uninstall/Change option and the Setup wizard should launch. Select the option to Repair and go through the wizard to start the repair process. Once complete check to see if the XY Tool initializes for you. I hope this helps.
I wish ESRI experts would comment on this!
5 In the parameters tab under Display add "Enter X,Y" with "string" as a data type .
Thanks Jenson, it was very helpful.
Tried with this script but this is not working ..
request to give in detail ..
Script is helpful to go to x,y If map unit in meters, but it is not possible to add point at given location. My tool is also not working, I deleted Normal.mxt, Repair Installation, I have two PC. Problem is same on both PC. With windows 10.
Sometimes the graphic defaults get set to transparent and it makes a marker that can't be seen. You can change the default graphic settings in the Drawing toolbar drop down under Default Symbol Properties. Other times I can't make it work and have no idea why, in which case I just make a junk shapefile to find coordinates as its faster. The tool isn't very functional.

I'm the co-founder of SkyWatch Space Applications. SkyWatch develops software to create a real-time feed of everything captured in the Universe. The intention is for this data to be analyzed by SkyWatch and distributed for use by professionals in various capacities (e.g. astrophysicists, astronomers, engineers). Our mission is to become the world's number one source for all data originating from outside our planet.
How did you decide which initial career to pursue?
I initially (beginning at the age of 13) worked with my Dad in his machine shop developing assembly line automation systems for products such as Tic Tac and Nutella. I learned alot andd loved it!
What helped you to begin your career?
In my second year at Humber College I worked with a business incubator advising new start-ups how to become successful by giving advice in different areas such as effective marketing strategies. Through this I got connected with the technology industry in Toronto which provided valuable learning opportunities for me.
I then worked with a friend for two months learning how to build our own software. We ultimately built Sproutr, an online platform for entrepreneurs, which was utilized by hundreds of users all over the world. We then found out about a NASA competition for which we built SkyWatch (the winner of the 2014 NASA International Space Apps Challenge). From this experience we decided there was a business application for SkyWatch which we decided to further explore and develop.
Who provided the most support to you as you were getting started?
Family members have been extremely supportive. NASA provided support in terms of mentioning SkyWatch on their social media feeds. As well, some astrophysicists have been early users of the product and have provided valuable feedback. In August 2014 we were the successful applicants' to Google's six month incubation program which has provided excellent mentorship as we develop our company.
What is the best advice you can give to others?
Don't let a lack of encouragement from others discourage you from pursuing your passion. Life principles (e.g. money management, how to connect and work well with others, respecting people) are as important to understand and implement as career advice in order to be successful.

Apple places iPhone factory in India on 'probation' following protests over food poisoning and living conditions
Alisha Rahaman Sarkar

Apple has put an iPhone factory in southern India belonging to one of its suppliers on "probation" after facing protests over poor living conditions that involved cases of food poisoning and poor quality living facilities.
The decision to put iPhone assembler Foxconn on notice was taken when sit-in protests had broken out after several cases of food poisoning were detected in factory employees.
The factory, which employs 17,000 people, is located in the Sriperumbudur town, near Chennai city in the southern Tamil Nadu state and was shut on 18 December when food poisoning cases were found.
An Apple spokesperson on Wednesday said both the companies found some of the dormitory accommodations and dining rooms for workers did not meet their standards.
But the tech giant did not give details on what it meant by putting Foxconn under "probation".
More than 250 women, who work and live in one of the dormitories provided by Foxconn, have been treated for food poisoning this month.
At least 159 women have been hospitalised.
The Apple spokesperson said the company had dispatched independent auditors to assess the situation "following recent concerns about food safety and accommodation conditions at Foxconn Sriperumbudur."
The company said it was working with Foxconn to ensure a comprehensive set of corrective actions are undertaken before reopening the facility.
Taiwan-based Foxconn, meanwhile, apologised for the incident and said it was restructuring its local management team, which ensured taking immediate steps to improve facilities.
"We are very sorry for the issue our employees experienced and are taking immediate steps to enhance the facilities and services we provide," the company said in a statement.
It added that all employees would be paid while it makes necessary improvements to restart operations.
A government official familiar with the matter told Reuters that Foxconn has been answering queries from the state government.
"Once they get clearances from the government, workers will be inducted and the company will resume production," the official said.
This is the second jolt for Apple since it expanded its operations in India in a bid to reduce its reliance on its Chinese supply chain amid trade tensions with Beijing.
Last year, Apple had placed another iPhone manufacturing partner on probation after employees vandalised the factory over unpaid wages near Bengaluru city in Karnataka.
Workers had smashed CCTV cameras and glass doors and had tried to set vehicles on fire at the manufacturing facility that was operated by Taiwan-based Wistron InfoComm.
Workers had claimed to have not been fully paid their salaries for months and said they had been forced into working extra shifts.
Body of missing British woman found in Tonga
The body of a British woman swept away by a devastating tsunami that struck Tonga has been found, her brother said in a statement received Tuesday.
The police are looking into an incident involving two girls who are seen in a video fighting with a girl wearing a uniform at a carpark.
At least 26 people were killed after an earthquake hit western Afghanistan on Monday, an official said.

Body image issues are no stranger to me. I've been struggling with them for many many years. Those insecurities do motivate me to eat healthily and workout regularly, but even when I'm at my fittest, I'm still never 100% satisfied with myself. I am, however, satisfied enough to avoid considering extreme measures like extreme calorie deprivation or excessive exercise.
Now contrast my normally super fit self to my current self… extremely deconditioned after 10 weeks of bedrest, and nine months pregnant. Not surprisingly, I'm not exactly feeling great about my body! But after all of the complications this pregnancy, I'm so excited to see my still-growing belly that my body's sacrifices seem minute. Plus, at least its winter and I get to wear baggy pajamas and lounge clothes so I don't have to see how things are looking! But I know postpartum will be different.
I'm 100% certain that seeing my postpartum body will be upsetting, despite knowing that it just accomplished a tremendous task. To combat my anxiety about this, I've been doing what I do best… plan. Planning always makes me feel better. I've been putting together postpartum tips and guidelines to hopefully help myself get back into decent shape sooner rather than later. The first two weeks postpartum will be "figure out new life" weeks, but after that I'll attempt healthier diet choices (I really need to up my veggie intake!) and get back into exercising (already ok'd by my OB unless something crazy happens). I'll be starting out slowly with yoga and barre classes. A nearby studio has "bring your own baby" classes, which I'm so excited about! Getting my bum to the studio will be a challenge, so I've let myself splurge on a few workout clothes that I can wear (and feel comfortable in) while I work towards getting back into pre-pregnancy shape. My go-to sports bra and leggings will be temporarily replaced by a much more comfortable, stretchy and padded (in case of leaking… yuck) sports bra and some loose but flattering capri pants. I'm hoping my regular tighter tank tops will fit so I can just layer a loose tank or tee over until I feel a bit more confident in my body.
I've looked at some other women's postpartum fitness journeys and have appreciated their openness and honestly. I'm hoping I'll have the courage to do weekly or biweekly postpartum fitness updates as well. I know a postpartum body is nothing we should feel ashamed of, but that doesn't mean I won't.
Pregnancy Update – 38 Weeks?
I can't believe its time for another pregnancy update. Am I really 38 weeks pregnant? How crazy!! I never thought I'd get to the point in my pregnancy where I would say I'm totally ready for this baby to come anytime.
We did have hope that the little one was making her arrival two days ago! After 3+ hours of regular painful contractions, we decided to get checked out. When we arrived to L&D I was contracting every 2-3 minutes and my cervix was dilated to 4cm (previously 3cm). They made us walk around the hospital for the next 90 minutes, which was extremely painful, not to mention rather disgusting and embarrassing when I had to stop walking and squat or sit on the floor with each contraction. Regardless, by the end of the walk, when I finally relaxed and laid down, my contractions slowed to every 7-8 minutes, my cervical dilation halted, and we got to go home. I can't say I was impressed by the care I received, and I'm dreading having to go back to the hospital if my nurse's (lack of) kindness is any indication of what's to come during my actual labor.
These extra days of being pregnant, although not the most physically pleasant, aren't unwelcome. Like I've mentioned before, it gives me an extra opportunity to do some productive things! With the basics taken care of, I've been contemplating my next DIY project, which I think will be a file cabinet turned litter box (just bought a $20 file cabinet from Craigslist). If any of you have cats, you know of the struggle to find a discreet place to put the litter box… somewhere where their kicking of litter can be cleaned up fairly easily (because they can't just step out of the box, they have to run out and fling litter everywhere). I'm excited to get this project going! I've done a few DIYs over the past year, some good, some just ok. I've been meaning to take pictures and share them… I should get going on that!
Pregnancy Update – 34 Weeks!!
Ten weeks ago, while hospitalized for preterm labor, I remember the OB doctors telling me how I had a very high chance of delivering our daughter prematurely. Staying pregnant until 34 weeks, although unlikely, was "the goal," as the complication rate drastically decreases and the survival rate approaches that of a full term baby.. The stressful weeks following that hospitalization passed extremely slowly. But we got here, and I'm extremely grateful for that.
I've felt so relieved since hitting the 34 week mark. Babies born at 34 weeks do typically need to stay in the hospital for a short while to ensure they have adequate temperature regulation, glucose regulation, feeding ability, etc. Given this, I still hope to make it to the 36-37 week mark so I can take the baby home with me right away! So, while bedrest restrictions have now been lifted, I'm still advised to take it easy. Not that I can do much anyway! You'd be surprised how deconditioned you become after 10 weeks of extremely minimal activity! I've got a lot of work ahead of me.

1This is an essential book to read as a background and springboard for delving into an extremely critical and complex period of modern Sudan (1989-2011), a period that is characterized by major, rapid, and seemingly lasting impact events and changes in the social, political, economic, and cultural fields in the country. The reviewed book poses critical queries at the levels of theory, methodology, ethnography, and empirical reality in an attempt to fathom the present socio-economic dynamics of change in Sudan. Though the book is specifically about the Sudanese case, it is quite clear that it positions itself as a part of a very broad and ambitious project on how we can document, analyse, interpret, and finally understand the processes of social change in general. The book's excellent introduction captures all these issues eloquently, and informs the readers about how the articles fit into the designated framework of the book.
2The introduction points out that the important changes in Sudan during the above-mentioned period took place in different spheres, through different factors, and at multiple levels :
" the reshaping of landscapes, rural as well as urban, and the redefinition of their relationships; changes in forms of livelihoods and ways of producing and reproducing economic and social life, in terms of new actors and settings, class articulation, and patterns of life and consumption; the growing complexity of the political arena and its subjects, strategies, alliances and legitimating discourses; the rise of 'new' conflicts and the evolution of 'old' conflicts with their local, national and international entanglements; a spiral in identity claims with their shifting boundaries and wider implications; and the simultaneous and growing intervention of outside forces in all their varieties- humanitarian aid, businessmen, 'peace builders' and developers." p. 1
3The editors are aware of the thorny issues related to conceptualizing the mutual effects of the multifarious factors and elements involved in social change and/or their dominance. Though the problematic of grasping the interlink ages among existing structures and underlying social processes is by no means recent in sociological theory, the book successfully suggests new ways of viewing it. In the case of Sudan, this is dealt within terms of conceiving the above-mentioned forces and dynamics of change as processes in different domains within periodization (time structures) by using the idea of scaling -moving from local up to global. In their discussion of these complex interlink ages, the editors explain the many types of difficulties that must be faced. For example, there are opposing perspectives on the concept of globalization (with its different dimensions) in relation to its effect on local conditions, but the question is which one of these perspectives is to be adopted. The editors have opted for Duffield's position, which treats similar cases such as that of Sudan as ambivalent, in the sense that it is a case in which neither the logic of the interacting components nor the direction of change can be fully grasped. This position necessitates doing two things: conducting rigorous fieldwork and adopting an interdisciplinary approach towards both fieldwork and analysis. The book does not claim to have done either one or both in a comprehensive way.
4The focus of the book and its contributions, however, are claimed to be on resource access and management, as located in the very broad manner outlined above (that is, local settings and elements, factors, processes, and domains within specific periods of time in a global context). Accordingly, the book is divided into four parts – land, water, new players (resources, social entities, and institutions), and identity and ideology – all based on interdisciplinary fieldwork studies covering different areas of Sudan. Again, neither the treatment of the cases nor the local coverage or interdisciplinary perspectives are claimed to be comprehensive; however, most of the cases discussed relate the micro-level processes to the national or even higher level, and show the dialectical relationship between them. One very good example is Assal's paper on land grabbing in a marginal suburb of the larger Khartoum urban conurbation. He meticulously details how Al-Saliha, a group of villages, has changed from being a cohesive tribal community whose communal land was used for grazing small animals into an ethnically diversified society that has become a target for investment and capital accumulation, and that is rapidly becoming part of the larger urban/capitalist dynamics of greater Khartoum due to the new regime's state economic, social, and political policies.
5The book ends with an epilogue (by Marchal) which is meant to give shape to the apparently scattered topics (articles) in the book. In my opinion, however, the epilogue is one of the best summaries I have encountered. It captures and attempts to explain how the ideological orientation of the current Inqath regime in Sudan (1989-…) has been implemented under the banner of 'civilizational project', and why it has lasted up to now despite local, regional, and international adversity. Many of the perceptive points raised by Marchal in this regard may require extensive debate. Nonetheless, the most important of them, I think, are two interlinked ideas. First, the Islamist regime has been effective in transforming Sudanese societies to a point of no return, and second, the Islamists have failed to control and transform the State apparatuses in a way that matches their transformation of Sudanese society. Marchal's explanation of the reasons behind and results of the former discrepancy is open to lengthy discussion. The writer, like the editors, is aware that there might be other important missing pieces if an analysis of Sudan's situation is to be made fully comprehensible: these include the private sector (which is mentioned by Marchal), the army, the security apparatus, the youth and civil society organizations. Both the editors and Marchal acknowledge that there is a long way to go before we will be in a position to know the exact outcome of the ongoing processes and dynamics with regards to Sudan's future.
6The editors have admitted that though the book should not be viewed as being solely about the Republic of Sudan (and thus North Sudan),they have not included any articles on the Republic of South Sudan, despite the mutual effect of socio-economic dynamics in the two countries. Given the fact that many works on the impact of the separation between the two states appeared before the publication of the book, one would have expected that at least one overview study like Marchal's would have sufficed. Also, it is not enough, in my opinion, to view the interdisciplinary approach as a simple notion of juxtaposing studies carried out in different fields and joined under a common theme or themes; in terms of theory and methodology it is more complicated than this. The book does not dwell long enough on this point. Again, in addition to the missing important aspects I have alluded to above, one can point to an extremely significant aspect without which our understanding of social change must be incomplete. Though Part Four contains two important articles on language and one on education, we need to have a background on the general ideological setting in Sudan against which the current debates on identity, ethnicity, Islamisation, modernity, and other cultural issues might be understood. In this case, a sociology of knowledge is indispensable for connecting the level of thought and practice over the recent historical epochs of Sudan's development.
7Even though the ambitious project the book sets out to complete cannot be presented in one volume alone, the collection under review can undoubtedly be considered as a landmark and ground-breaking contribution in recent Sudanese studies. It opens new paths for further research and analysis in the study of socio-economic change in Sudan, and as such it is a must-read for everyone who wishes to grasp what is happening in Sudan at present, especially for Africanist researchers and those engaged in postgraduate interdisciplinary programmes.

Heart-related issues or problems should never be left untreated. No matter if you feel any difficulties in the chest or regular heartburn or stomach pain, it is strictly recommended you consult the best cardiologist in your city immediately.
But it has never been so easier to opt for a cardiology-specialist with full confidence. There is no doubt that, India provides the best quality cardiology services and treatment at affordable rates.

These delays — which can run into years or even decades — increase the cost compared with older projects and are often overlooked when new projects are planned. The authors say that these extra costs need to be properly assessed when considering new nuclear projects.
In the study, published today in the journal Energy Policy, the authors also suggest that because these delay costs make nuclear projects high risk, decision makers might instead focus on more low-risk low-carbon technologies such as wind or solar power.
When assessing the cost of new nuclear projects, decision makers often use 'overnight construction costs', which assume the project is built on time, usually within five years. However, the 'lead-time' — the time between initiation of the project and completion — can cause significant extra costs.

In this episode of the Productivity Power Up podcast, we talk more about email management, specifically the concept of "inbox zero" and why I am such a proponent of it. I recently read a few articles that outlined some pretty good arguments about how it wasn't such a great thing, but after reading (with an open mind of course!), I still come down on the side of inbox zero. In this episode, I'm going to tell you why.
In two weeks, I went from 23,768 e-mails in my inbox to zero. Here's how.
Question: What are your thoughts on inbox zero? Are you a believer and practitioner, a believer who wishes they were a practitioner or do you not subscribe to this at all. You can leave a comment by clicking here.
