The Viscious Mr Brown
Posted by Marketing on 11 March 2015
Charters Towers Mr Brown and Mr Haygarth
114 years ago, in the North Queensland town of Charters Towers, a terrible tragedy, born out of gold fever shattered the hard working community.
At a board of directors meeting of the Charters Towers Pyrite Company. Mr Brown demanded to see the minutes of a previous meeting at which his weekly salary had been cut. The Chairman Mr Graham Haygarth refused, and within minutes was killed by Brown.
While the story of this murder still haunts The Towers, few people know the back story which led to the incident which has become known as "the tragedy on Mosman Street".
The crime was the culmination Brown's decade long obsession with his own greatness. Brown convinced shareholders of the company to plough their profits from the operation into his new gold mining process which required expensive infrastructure and capitol. It was a folly which ultimately led to his undoing and the death of Graham Haygarth.
Listen in to ABC Brisbane tonight at 8pm with David Curnow and Jack Sim to discover the backgrounds of those involved in the death and their motivations.

THE LAST BUSHRANGER IN QUEENSLAND : James Kenniff (1940)
Charters Towers, a beautiful outback town South West of Townsville was once a thriving Gold Rush town, the second largest city outside of Brisbane. As the gold dried up, mining became uneconomic, Charters Towers population slowly declined, but the stunning old buildings and ghosts remained.
On the outskirts of Charters Towers sits what the locals call "the old cemetery", the Lynd Highway Cemetery was established in 1895. This bleak, barren and dead flat cemetery is bordered by a well maintained cast iron perimeter fence and charming front gate. It is the resting place for a number of interesting local characters including Jupiter Mossman who, as the local lore has it, was one of the party that discovered gold in Charters Towers; Doctor Leonard Redmond who discovered Australian Dengue Fever; Frederick Pfeiffer, owner of the rich Day Dawn PC Mine and James Kenniff who was the last bushranger in Queensland.
James and his older brother Patrick were expert horsemen who made a living by horse stealing a very serious crime.
They were wanted in connection to the theft of a horse. A police constable, Aboriginal tracker and station master pursued the brothers for several days through hard, mountainous country in Western Queensland. Surprising Patrick and his brother James they managed to overpower and arrest them both. As the tracker was sent to get handcuffs from the constable's packhorse, gunshots rang out and the tracker ran for his life.
A later search found the constable's horse wandering through the scrub and the burnt remains of the constable and station master. The brothers were tracked down again and following a shootout, both were captured and tried for murder.
Throughout the trial Patrick maintained his innocence and was denied the right to appeal to the Privy Council in London, by the judge Samuel Griffith. Though there was public shock and outcry, the Queensland Government seemed to be determined to see him hang.
Patrick was sent to the Gallows of Boggo Road Gaol, protesting his innocence to the very last. His final chilling words were saved for one man, the Chief Justice, now Sir Samuel Griffith: "I am as innocent as the judge who sentenced me."
James's life was spared, but he was sentenced to life imprisonment with hard labour. Being released in 1914, he refused visitors and lived out his life alone. Some say he was the one who pulled the trigger. He took the secret to his grave in Charters Towers.
Hear about this amazing story on Australia's longest running true crime show "True Crimes" presented by Jack Sim on 4BC Nights with Walter Williams. Thursday evenings 9.35pm on Radio 4BC.

There are many risks of unplanned land. When making zoning application, 35 % of the land is taken as free for road and free public service buildings. Even, the municipality will receive 45 % share with the legal regulations in the near future. Also, your land may be expropriated with the amendments to the zoning plan. When buying land in Turkey, you should prefer lands having building permission. Never forget the zoning permit is usually 5 percent in rural areas. Therefore, you should buy a minimum 5 acres land.

If you are determined to take the land, you should prefer regions to be developed. For example, many land options like land for sale in Antalya, Istanbul and Alanya will gain value after 20 years.
Premium potential: Another issue to be considered - the land is the premium potential. It does not end opportunities in land investments. Therefore, you must determine to the right spot each period for profitable investment. The demand increases for residential and commercial building construction in the fast-growing urban areas.

My mom loved to crochet. She crafted beautiful scarves, blankets, hats, hotpads, dishcloths and more. I never fully appreciated the work that went into creating these works of love. When my mom passed away from Leukemia last month, I decided I would teach myself to crochet in memory of her.
I joined a ton of Facebook crochet groups and read what I could about it. I was on a mission to figure crocheting out. It didn't take long before I was able to do the basics. I couldn't believe I was actually crocheting and teaching myself to do it. Of course, I wasn't all alone in my adventure, I had YouTube to help me.
I recently completed my very first project-a dishcloth with a small loop to hang it from. It was silly of me to add that loop since I don't have any hooks near our sink, but I like small details.
It isn't perfect, but I learned from it and I've already started another dishcloth. This one will be a gift for my mother in law. I'm excited to get this one finished and move on to a new project. I'm thinking a mug cozy or earbud holder might be next.
For those of you who don't crochet, I highly recommend looking into it. I find it very relaxing and a good way to cope with the grief from my mom passing. Also, Crochet Concupiscence has a ton of links to articles about how beneficial crocheting can be.
How lovely! So special that this act of creation brings back forgotten memories of your mom!
I love the story and that you gave it a try. YouTube is my go-to place to learn, you will find everything from very beginner to pro videos and tutorials. Check out hopeful honeys channel if you haven't already, she is amazing!
Thanks Susi! I will check out that channel.


A striking woman's eyewear capsule collection born from the collaboration between fashion brand Redemption Choppers and glasses designer Alessandro Martire of JPLUS. Inspired by the roaring world of two wheels, Redemption Choppers offers – along with unique handcrafted motorcycles a luxurious women's clothing line entirely Made in Italy.
The eyewear collection introduces three sunglasses styles: all playing with shiny acetate and distinctive metal inserts.

The temples of RC 003OC02 show a bold needle-inspired stripe that evokes tailor stitches while RC 003OC01 displays a tiny series of metal dots of great visual effect. Available in different colored rims and lenses, these exclusive frames embody the innovative and edgy spirit of the Redemption Choppers brand.

A beautiful vanity unit, shower base and freestanding bath in a matt finish. The bath basin and shower fittings in a nickel finish and to complement the tiles, and the clever use of ambient lighting.
We worked with Eli and Daniel at Tiles and Baths on a large house refurbishment for which they supplied both the kitchen and the bathrooms throughout. Their service was very professional and their product choice for baths, kitchens and tiles was very good and wide ranging. They were extremely helpful when we worked together on the design of each room. The final result was stunning. We would use them again and recommend them to others.
We have used Tiles and Baths Direct on numerous projects we have been involved with and always find them to be responsive, understanding of our clients wishes and professional in delivery of the unique service they provide, be it with Daniel Gold to design and install a kitchen, or Stephen Carr to either design and install a bathroom or recommending styles and supply of tiles. Client visits to the showroom are always beneficial, reassuring our customers that they are being given a five star service and on the very rare occasion something is wrong Tiles & Baths Direct have always rectified any issues in a prompt and efficient manner to the satisfaction of our clients assisting to make our life as main contractor easier.
I worked with Tiles and bath direct over a 6 month period and they supplied me with tiles and some bathroom items. Everything they sold me was of the highest quality. Fantastic to be able to get samples to take home and also the help designing our bathrooms was amazing. Special thanks to Stephen for always being available on the phone when I had questions. Also appreciated being able to return some tiles due to over order. Will be back soon to get more tiles for my patio in the garden.
Hope this finds you both in good health and spirit.
I have been wanting to write and thank you, earlier, for the absolute first class service provided by you. However, time has passed on quickly, nevertheless I believe it is never too late to comment and praise where praise is due.
From our first visit to your show room and throughout all our further visits, service we received was exceptional and highly professional. Design details were spot on. Our many design changes were accommodated without any objection.
During the pre-installation and installation phases of the project, Mick Hales ( Surveyor, installation manager ) visited us numerous times to make sure, that the fitting out was as flawless as it could be. Minor tweaking and adjusting, necessitated by our needs, were carried out without any fuss.
Operatives who carried out the fitting out were highly organised and professional in their approach.
Mick Hales was highly knowledgeable in all things kitchen, very efficient, generous with his time and was easy to work with.
Our big thanks to you and your team.
We have been ordering from Tiles & Baths Direct for 1 year now whilst doing building work in our house. Ella Mitaru has been fantastic all the way through. She has always given honest, helpful advice with patience and knowledge. She is very available, answering our calls and responding to emails. When we recently had some broken tiles, she quickly replaced them with no issue. We are extremely pleased with her service.
My wife & I would like to thank you & your team for the excellent service throughout the design & fitting of our new kitchen.
The kitchen is the most important & well used room in our new home & we're delighted the outcome.
The care & attention to detail from the outset has paid dividends, with all our expectations having been met.
We'd have no hesitation in recommending you & your team.
T&B have the most comprehensive display of bathroom products and tiles. We always visit them as our 1st-port-of-call. We have used them in the past but found them to be a little too high end. However, this time round we met Ella! She was very welcoming and took time to understand our requirements. She was then able to recommend products to us based on our requirements and budget. Her product knowledge is fantastic. She really does get involved in the design and project and treats it like her own. She goes the extra mile and nothing seems to be too much for her. She kept us updated and all times and was always on point if we needed her. We purchased kitchen and bathroom tiles. We had some issues with the tiles which she quickly investigated and was able to come up with a solution which kept all parties happy - other senior managers did not step up!. She will not force you to buy something which you are not happy with. She is honest and up front which is rare with sales people. When she could not price match on some items she did not waste time trying to sell us other brands. I would strongly recommend using T&B and would say go to no-one but Ella! She really made the difference for us and is a credit to T&B.
Excellent showroom exhibiting the latest Italian bathrooms. Wide range of designs to choose from.
Ella was absolutely brilliant. She designed our bathroom, which we are proud of to the smallest detail. She knew the products well, very helpful and professional, she gave us advice, spoke to us regularly on the phone and answered our emails almost immediately whenever we had any queries.
The after service was great too. Our builders damaged some of the bathroom items when fitting them, so we had to replace some of them. Ella communicated directly with our builders and the factory in Italy and resolved all issues stress free for us.
I can't recommend Ella's services highly enough. Any new bathrooms for our property will be ordered through her only, from now on.
Tiles & Baths direct have seen me right with both properties. And never failed me. Brilliant service from Stephen Carr - he knows his products, what will work in the space, what will be non-slip, what will make a statement. My leather-look padded tiles in my downstairs bathroom are still my favourite thing in the house. People can't help but comment on them. Their range is superb and constantly updating their displays with new concepts as soon as they hit the market. They always honour their guarantees and I've never been let down by their service.
Ella was absolutely excellent in helping me with my project which involved 4 new bathrooms. I knew the look I wanted for each bathroom and with her encyclopaedic knowledge of products she was able to source the right products for me. She provided the technical specs for the builders and also communicated with them directly in the one instance when they had a query. I was made aware of the phased payment system and invoices were always sent out correctly. All in all, she was a super star and made the whole process pain free and pleasurable. Thanks Ella, I would definitely return.
From start to finish the service was fantastic. A great team of men and women giving great design advise and first class service. The whole process was seem less and stress free. Delivery was on time, everything accounted for, no question too small to be answered. Could not be happier with Tiles & Bath Direct, will definitely use again and recommend.
I have been using Tiles & Baths for over 10 years. Whilst the products are of great quality, the real stand out service is from the Salesman - Stephen Carr. A true professional, with excellent product knowledge, a great vision, and goes that extra mile to make you feel relaxed and confident from start to finish. Stephen personifies all the qualities that you would want in your Salesman and is the reason I feel confident when dealing and liaising with Tiles & Bath. He values repeat business, and goes the extra mile to reach deadlines and manage budgets. Stephen is a great asset and ambassador for Tiles & Baths.
Attracted by the look of the showroom, after we met the sales person, it was the right place to be. Friendly approach, being respectful to the budget we'd like to stick to, we've got good advice, good service, Good care.
We are happy to say, this company was the right one to work with, throughout our renovation project.
Now that the new kitchen is finished (apart from a few little things), I want to say how thrilled we both are with the finished result, we think it looks fabulous.
You and your team have been most helpful and patient, as was Mick the kitchen fitter he was so obliging and everything and everyone were so professional and nice to deal with. Thank you for putting up with me and my numerous phone calls and panics and changing things after agreeing to various options, these were always acknowledged by the team in a polite and calm manner.
One gets used to over the years ones old kitchen layout, look and feel, so a change of everything is somewhat daunting and I was always doubting my decisions but thank goodness they were correct.
Thank you for your help on locating an alternative soap dish.
Could you please forward this email to your boss.
I just wanted to say that my husband and I were most impressed with your professionalism, advice, attention to detail and the excellent personal service you provided in dealing with us, when we visited last week.
We will definitely visit again for items required for our future renovation projects.
I hope this email finds you well. I apologise that this is so long overdue, as I meant to write this a long time ago, but moving into our new home has just taken all of my time.
I cannot thank you enough Mick for the way you have looked after me as a client. I have seldom seen such care and attention given to individual clients the way you have and I am sure that I am not the only person that would say this.
You alleviated the stress and worry from my situation by bringing solutions to the issues that arose, an air of calm and were there in person to ensure everything fitted correctly and was finished to a high standard. I am truly grateful that you were there to solve the issue with the big Island.
It has been such and pleasure to work with you and I will not forget the amazing care you gave to my project. You deserve every bit of praise and I hope that everyone that works with you knows this because you deserve to be recognised.
Please pass on my thanks to Legend (I think that's how you spell his name?) who was also really nice to work with.
Hope you have a lovely Christmas and all the best for the new year.
the most comprehensive showroom we have ever been to stunning displays of the most amazing bathrooms , tiles , kitchens and upstairs amazing bedrooms and wardrobes although busy staff were very attentive and listened to us and what we were looking for our architect had told us to go there and he was so right after so much research and traipsing around London at lots of shops and boutiques we have found the place to progress all the big bathroom brands , kitchen equipment and they have there own very large quartz stone and natural stone fabrication so nothing is left to chance we told our builder we had visited and he agreed it was his place of choice who would have known ?
Then we found even some of our friends had already either been there or had got their tiles and bathrooms there ( their designs were produced in the showroom we will definitely return to get our house sorted out here.
We have completed the fitting of our new kitchen in our new flat.
We wanted to write this short email to express our appreciation of one particular individual who has helped us so much and really demonstrated an excellent customer service which was beyond what we've expected.
We were introduced to Mick Hales only after making the order of the kitchen and when he came to take measurements before the fitting could take place. Mick was there to help us through the process in a smooth and kind manner.
As one of the most important rooms in the flat, we wanted the kitchen to be flawless and Mick provided us with the confidence and assurance that everything will be done to our satisfaction. He was responsive, professional and friendly. We felt very relaxed once we knew he's involved. We are very pleased with our new kitchen and thought it is important to acknowledge this in writing and extend our appreciation of his work.
Dear Steve, Just wanted to write you a short note to commend Christian for always taking the time to help us. Without him, we were ready to walk out of the door and since then we've floored our whole house (roughly 400m2) from your company and could not be more pleased with the service and advice he provided us. Christian has always been polite and friendly and thw whole family have all thoroughly enjoyed working with him. I would not hesitate to recommend him to our friends and family.

The organisation says this is its latest initiative aimed at harnessing the expertise of members and their experiences with patients to address a growing wave of prescription medication misuse and abuse.
The survey, circulated to all hospitals with operating theatres providing surgery and open until 9pm Wednesday 23 May, is hoped to allow SHPA to understand the scope of separate hospital-based initiatives to reduce the risk of dependency on opioids such as fentanyl and oxycodone.
Chief Executive Kristin Michaels says the survey opens a new phase in SHPA's multi-faceted strategic response to the worsening rates of opioid-related addiction, hospitalisation and harm.
"There are now 14 million prescriptions for opioids each year in Australia, a figure that has doubled since 2007," she says.
"Research reported in Fairfax media last week showed 60% of Australians who have undergone surgery leave hospital with opioids – two weeks later, while a quarter of patients are still taking these medicines, 70% have stockpiled the remaining tablets.
Ms Michaels says insights from the landscape survey will inform a white paper providing a representative picture of service provision relevant to opioid management in Australian public and private hospitals.
"Hospital pharmacists are part of multidisciplinary medical teams that care for patients experiencing the most severe pain, often related to invasive surgery, and therefore they are best-placed to shed light on how opioids are introduced to patients as part of their post-operative pain management," she says.
Ms Michaels says in the face of rising opioid addiction in Australia, hospitals are where effective solutions can start.
The survey coincides with the inaugural National Prevention of Prescription Medication Dependence Week from Monday 14 to Friday 18 May led by ScriptWise, which is raising awareness of potential harms associated with prescription medications, promoting existing prevention efforts and advocating for a government-funded national public awareness campaign.
Over the last six months, SHPA partnered with ScriptWise and five key medical and consumer groups in the Painaustralia-led #RealRelief campaign reminding Australians that codeine-containing products can be addictive and deadly and are not effective for ongoing chronic pain, while suggesting other treatments in addition to or instead of medication that can be very helpful to manage chronic pain.
Previous Could real time prescription monitoring have helped?

I am not really a big fan of 'how to' blog posts to be honest, but with sweet FA going down as I am in semi transit mode, I thought perhaps I could share some tips and tricks on traveling with your bike! If you have before, then this may seem boring, but if you aspire to, then some of this may be helpful.
Always, always take your pedals off FIRST when you go to pack the bike. Pedals are c*nts and will cause the most rage when packing. Also, pack the bike a day before the trip, it can be weird and tricky at times and you want to have it sorted, also if you break anything whilst unbolting/packing then you have time to sort it before leaving.
Check your country – If you are taking a bike to NZ or Strayla for example, it has to be SUPER clean for customs, so save yourself pain and make sure your steed is super MF tip top, like it SHOULD be anyway. Respect the bike.
At the airport its all about who you get on the desk… So try and pick out an easy target (I am not condoning flirting to get through, honest) and preferably the least pissed off looking person.
Work out your plan for getting to accom point 1 well in advance of leaving – Arriving in a foreign land lugging a bike box is a little stressful at times, so make sure you have your airport exit logistics well rehearsed!
OMFG – This has turned into a massively long post… Apologies, it didn't mean to be… But, if you have any bike related travel coming up, hopefully this is useful!!
Let the Lazy Lemmings run!

Trude Silman
A child refugee
Trude grew up in Bratislava, then capital of Czechoslovakia. Aged 9, she escaped the country by train with her aunt and cousin and arrived in England.
Trude was born Gertrude Feldmann, the youngest of three children in a happy middle-class family in Bratislava. Trude's birth in 1929 coincided with the Wall Street Crash, which led to the collapse of her father's bank and affected the family income. Nevertheless Trude has happy memories of her early life, with walks in the hills in summer, skating and tobogganing in the winter, ballet lessons, and three different languages spoken at home. Treats and holidays were provided by her extended family of uncles and aunts, who proved instrumental in helping Trude and her siblings survive the Holocaust. While Trude attended a Jewish school, her family was not particularly observant and she doesn't recall experiencing anti-Semitism as a child.
Trude has limited memories of Hitler's rise to power in Germany, though she vividly remembers hearing him "shouting his speeches" down the radio, and hearing reports of her father's sisters in Austria being ill treated and brutalised by the Nazis. In March of 1938, when things became particularly tense due to the Anschluss (Germany's annexation of Austria), Trude's father sent the family to stay with his mother in the relative safety of the countryside. The same happened again in October of that year when British prime minister Chamberlain went to see Hitler to discuss the cessation of the Sudetenland to Germany. For the Feldmann family the writing was clearly on the wall, and Trude realised that her parents were doing their utmost to get their three children out of Czechoslovakia to safety.
Trude's sister was the first to leave on 31 December 1938. She was taken in by an English family near Kew Gardens in London and lived happily with them until her marriage. Their older brother Paul found a job at a furrier's in London and travelled there in May 1939. Trude recalls the sense of escalating danger. She remembers looking out of her classroom window in March 1939, when the Germans invaded Slovakia, and seeing tanks in the street.
Trude has a limited memory of the trauma of leaving home. Her aunt had managed to get permission to work in England as a domestic servant and took her own daughter and Trude with her. They left one morning, bundled in a taxi, and suffered a 4-day journey by train, stopped numerous times by officials. Eventually they took a boat from Flushing to Harwich, followed by another train, and finally arrived at Liverpool Street station at midnight.
Trude was terribly homesick during her first months in England. The unfamiliar food and cold, draughty houses were completely alien to a nine-year-old child who spoke no English and had just seen her family broken apart. She pays tribute to the kindness and generosity of foster families who she stayed with and who did their best to help a traumatised little girl. Trude was then evacuated to Rickmansworth and subsequently Cornwall where she spent the duration of the war. She remained close to her brother and sister through letters and occasional visits. The three of them shared the rare Red Cross letters that their parents were able to send, and which could take six or seven months to reach them.
Trude loved learning and had a passion for science. She moved to Leeds to study at Leeds University where she met her husband, Norman and built a happy family life with their two children. Her brother and sister both married and settled in England. Trude did not give up on the search to find out what happened to her parents. She discovered that her father died in Auschwitz. However, many decades after she left Bratislava as a child, Trude is still searching for information on what happened to her mother.
Trude still lives in Leeds, where she is an active member of numerous voluntary organisations including HSFA. She regularly speaks about her experiences as a child moving to England and spreads a message of tolerance and hope.

Commissioning date of Kazakh Shulbin navigation locks announced
Astana, Kazakhstan, July 14
By Daniyar Mukhtarov - Trend:
The Shulbin navigation locks in eastern Kazakhstan will be launched in 2015, according to the press-service of the Ministry of Transport and Communications of the country.
At present, work on the construction of the main elements of the protective hydro-technical facility is being carried out. Parallel to this, manufacturing of equipment and metal construction for subsequent installation is also being carried out.
The contractor "IrtyshGESstroy" LLP, by an agreement concluded in 2013 has done all the preparatory work for the construction of the main structure. Layout of earth work has been done and a temporary bulk dam backfilled driveway has been constructed.
The purpose of the construction of protective structures of the Shulbin navigation locks is to ensure the safe operation of the navigation in the spring and autumn flood periods at maximum filling of the Shulbinsky water reservoir and prevent flooding the "Priirtyshja" settlements located downstream," the ministry said.
The navigation lock is a hydro-technical structure on the navigable waterway to ensure the transition of ships from one water basin to another with different levels of water. The navigation locks are limited by gates on both sides between which there is a camera. The locks allow variation of the level of water within them. The advantage is that the lock's technical equipment is simpler and cheaper to maintain when compared to boat lifts.

Translation:Again I see the blue oceans.
High Valyrian is designed to look like an ancient language, and color names were far less defined in many of those than they are now. The word for blue and green being the same is not that rare. Japanese, for example, has a word that means both blue and green, depending on the context.


text:
Q: $\int_X^{2X}\lvert f-g\rvert^2=O(X)$ then $\lvert f-g\rvert=O(1)$
How can you conclude that if $\int_X^{2X}\lvert f-g\rvert^2=O(X)$ then $\lvert f-g\rvert=O(1)$ for $X\le x\le 2X$ and $X\in\mathbb R$ and large enough.

Does this follow from Cauchy-Schwartz ?
Then the conclusion is automatically valid if we drop the square ?

/ Theresa May Taking Britain Down with the EU Ship?
Theresa May Taking Britain Down with the EU Ship?
By	admin	/	September 20, 2018
The talk in the city of London is that there is now a rising chance that Theresa May will be gone perhaps by November or by Christmas at the latest. About 50 conservative MPs have been thoroughly fed up with the PM. The split she has caused in the Conservative Party has certainly put the British at risk of swinging left. Now even the Shadow Foreign Secretary, Emily Thornberry, has come out and claimed that there will be a Labour government in power "within six months". She told the Financial Times: "They [Conservatives] are not capable of governing . . . We're either going to have a general election in the autumn or we're going to have it in the spring…"
Meanwhile, Juncker has effectively trashed May's BREXIT proposals and Thornberry said: "I can't believe [the EU] won't give us the additional time to be able to negotiate because they know we have a completely different approach."
This is the problem with Theresa May, she had voted to remain yet is in charge of negotiating BREXIT. Look for political fun and games in Europe to continue all the way into 2020. We have EU officials concerned about their jobs if the Euro fails and Theresa May who in her heart thinks Britain should go down with the EU ship. What a mess politicians has become on a grand scale globally.

Major Church Pronouncements on the Bible
Pentecost (30/33AD)
The beginning of the Church; the Church exists before a determination of a canon or a definitive list of books of what was later called the Bible. The NT was not even written yet. The Bible is the book of the Church, we are not a church of the Bible.
Melito, Bishop of Sardis (c. 170)
Produced the first known Christian attempt at an Old Testament canon. His list maintains the Septuagint order of books but contains only the Old Testament protocanonicals minus the Book of Esther.
Council of Laodicea (c. 360)
A local council of the church in union with Rome produced a list of books of the Bible similar to the Council of Trent's canon. This was one of the Church's earliest decisions on a canon.
Council of Rome (382)
Local church council under the authority of Pope Damasus, (366-384) gave a complete list of canonical books of the OT and NT which is identical with the list later approved by the Council of Trent.
Council of Hippo (393)
Local North African Church council in union with and under the authority of the Bishop of Rome approved a list of OT and NT canon (same as later approved by the Council of Trent)
Council of Carthage (397)
Pope Innocent I, Bishop of Rome, 401-417 (405)
Responded to a request by Exuperius, Bishop of Toulouse, with a list of canonical books of Scripture; this list was the same as later approved by the Council of Trent.
Local North African Church council in union with and under the authority of the Bishop of Rome approved a list of OT and NT canon (same as later approved by the Council of Trent) This canon was ratified by the Second Council of Nicea (An Ecumenical Council).
Council of Florence, an ecumenical council (1441)
Complete list of OT and NT canon was drawn up; this list later adopted by the Fathers of the Council of Trent
Council of Trent, an ecumenical council called to respond to the heresy of the Reformers (1545-1563)
The canon of OT and NT received final definitions: 46 books in the OT; 27 in the NT; "Henceforth the books of the OT and the NT, protocanonical and deuterocanonical alike, in their entirety and with all their parts, comprise the canon and are held to be of equal authority." The ancient Vulgate edition of the Bible was called the authoritative edition of the Bible.
Vatican I Council (1869-1870)
Reaffirmed the decree of Trent. The Church holds the books of Holy Scripture as sacred and canonical, not because she subsequently approved them, nor because they contain revelation without error, but precisely because "having been written by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, they have God as their author and, as such, they have been handed down to the Church itself."
Providentissimus Deus (1893), Pope Leo XIII, Bishop of Rome, 1878-1903
Inaugurated a new era in Roman Catholic biblical studies. Presented a plan for biblical study; Defined inspiration: "By supernatural power God so moved and impelled the human authors to write - he so assisted them in writing - that the things he ordered and those only they first rightly understood, then willed faithfully to write and finally expressed in apt words and with infallible truth."
Pascendi Dominica Gregis (1907), Pope Pius X, Bishop of Rome, 1903-1914
Refuted the errors of the Modernists; Scored erroneous teaching on the origin and nature of the Sacred Books, on inspiration; on the distinction between the purely human Christ of history and the divine Christ of faith; on the origin and growth of the Scriptures.
Spiritus Paraclitus (1920), Pope Benedict XV, Bishop of Rome, 1914-1922
Commends modern critical methods in biblical studies. All biblical interpretation rests upon the literal sense. Goal of biblical studies is to learn spiritual perfection, to arm oneself to defend the faith, to preach the word of God fruitfully.
Divino Afflante Spiritus (1943), Pope Pius XII, Bishop of Rome, 1939-1958
Permitted scholars to use original text of Scriptures. No claim was made that the Vulgate is always an accurate translation, but that it is free from any errors in faith or morals. The scholar must be principally concerned with the literal sense of the Scriptures; search out and expound the spiritual sense; avoid other figurative senses. Literary criticism should be employed. Stated that there are but few texts whose sense was determined by the authority of the Church (only seven biblical passages have been definitively interpreted in defending traditional doctrine and morals--Jn 3:5, Lk 22:19, 1 Cor 11:24, Jn 20:22, Jn 20:23, Rom 5:12, Ja 5: 14); this counteracts the frequent misunderstanding that Catholics have no freedom interpreting the Scriptures.
Humani Generis (1950), Pope Pius XII, Bishop of Rome, 1939 - 1958
Instructs scholars on evolution, polygenism and OT historical narratives
Vatican II Council (1962-1965)
The decree, On Divine Revelation, declares that there is one source of Divine Revelation, Jesus Christ; that there are two modes of handing on revelation: Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition : "in a certain way merge into a unity and tend toward the same end," and "it is not from sacred Scripture alone that the Church draws her certainty about everything that has been revealed." Concerning Inerrancy of Scripture: "The Books of Scripture must be acknowledged as teaching firmly, faithfully, and without error that truth which God wanted put into the sacred writings for the sake of our salvation. "Emphasized that "in order to see what God wanted to communicate in Scripture, we must investigate the intention of the sacred author, and one way to do this is by paying attention to the literary form employed by the sacred writer."

Ethiopia Frees 2,000 People Arrested During State of Emergency, Retrieves 1,500 Weapons

Ethiopian authorities have released about 2,000 individuals who were detained after a state of emergency was declared in the country earlier this month in response to months of violent anti-government protests.
The group, who were initially detained on suspicion of their involvement in the violence, were freed on Monday after "receiving education and counseling," Fana Broadcasting Corporation reported.
Ethiopia's Minister of Defense and Secretariat Siraj Fegessa confirmed the release. However, he did not specify how many suspects are still in incarceration.
Officials have reportedly retrieved more than 1,500 weapons since the state of emergency was declared.
Under Ethiopia's state of emergency, the first in 25 years, security officials can search and detained suspects without court orders. The rules also stipulate that public gatherings can only be held with government approval.
The rules further state that contact with groups which the government considers terrorist organizations is prohibited. Watching opposition media channels has also been banned.
Foreign diplomats are also required to request for permission before traveling more than 25 miles outside of Addis Ababa, the country's capital.
A three to five-year prison sentence has been established as punishments for those who violate the rules of the 6-month long state of emergency.
The protests in Ethiopia started last year in the Oromia region over a government expansion plan. The demonstrations, which spread to the Amhara region this year, turned violent after clashes between security forces and protesters. Hundreds have been killed which thousands have reportedly been detained.
Ethiopian authorities say the protests is the working of armed opposition groups in collaboration with foreign governments looking to destabilise the country.

The City of Trees Challenge aims to plant 100,000 trees as a response to worsening heat islands around the city
This article was originally published in Columbia Insight
By Don Campbell, Columbia Insight
This year it melted under the most 100-degree days on record, while 2021 sweated it out with the hottest temperatures ever logged in the region.
Ah, but for the shade of a tree.
While the world clamors about climate change, in 2020 Boise sprouted a cooperative grassroots program that's working directly to spread a city- and statewide canopy of trees to help beat that egregious heat, improve air quality, even enrich mental health and well-being via the psychological benefits of vegetation.
The City of Trees Challenge is a coalition that brings together the City of Boise, Treasure Valley Canopy Network and Nature Conservancy Idaho to lead "a new movement for community recovery and climate resiliency."
Broadly, the coalition hopes to rally the citizens of Boise over the ensuing decade to plant one tree for every household in the city—some 100,000 trees—while challenging the community to sponsor one seedling for every person citywide.
That's approximately 235,000 forest trees to be planted across Idaho.
Importance of 'city trees'
Multiple studies have shown that in cities a lack of tree canopy—coverage created by mature shade trees—is a factor in multiple socioeconomic problems.
Disadvantaged neighborhoods often have less canopy coverage, more paved surfaces and, thus, higher temperatures.
"Unequal distributions of tree abundance and diversity have also been shown in parts of the country to connect to racial, educational, age and income-based inequalities," according to a recent Idaho Statesman article.
Data that proves the benefit of trees in cities is mounting.
A recent U.S. Forest Service study found that "each tree planted in a community (is) associated with significant reductions in non-accidental and cardiovascular mortality among humans living nearby," according to ScienceAlert.
The study concluded the yearly economic benefit of tree planting dramatically exceeds the cost of maintaining them, by a factor of more than 1,000.
Other studies have shown that access and exposure to "nature health"—not just wilderness but urban forests and tree-lined streets—can significantly benefit humans. Trees not only provide shade, but also reduce electricity use, cool sidewalks and streets and help keep air and water clean.
The Forest Service study relied on a "well-documented tree-planting campaign undertaken in Portland, Ore., between 1990 and 2019," reported ScienceAlert. "During those three decades, the nonprofit group Friends of Trees planted 49,246 trees in Portland."
Most importantly, the Portland group kept records of where and when each tree was planted. This enabled researchers to study the number of trees planted in specific neighborhoods or U.S. Census tracts.
Employing data from the Oregon Health Authority, they then associated each census tract's tree data with the area's mortality rate due to cardiovascular, respiratory or non-accidental causes.
"The results show that in neighborhoods in which more trees had been planted, mortality rates (deaths per 100,000 persons) were lower," according to Phys.org, which reported on the study. "This negative association was significant for cardiovascular and non-accidental mortality (that is, all causes excluding accidents), particularly for males and people over the age of 65."
Building a public-private coalition
On Arbor Day 2020, Boise City Council President Elaine Clegg helped launch the City of Trees Challenge with the goal of planting 100,000 trees over 10 years.
Though seed money was available from the city, Clegg believed a strong, civic partner would be essential for fundraising and empowering citizen action.
She tapped the Treasure Valley Canopy Network (TVCN), a nonprofit that recognizes the value urban forests provide in building a livable community and which bases its activities on collaboration, innovation and sustainability.
The Nature Conservancy of Idaho was added as the third leg of the triumvirate.
Lance Davisson, founder and executive director of the TVCN, says the collaborative approach was vital not only to get the program off the ground, but to build awareness of the value of expanding Boise and the region's tree canopy.
"We've built a really strong team," says Davisson.
Danny Roop, a sustainability specialist with Boise's Parks and Recreation Department, came aboard to represent the city's interests.
"To take on something of this size and magnitude, it's worked out well," says Roop. "It's been a hugely collaborative process across Boise and nationally.
"We get a lot of funding from the Arbor Day Foundation for our seedlings, and a lot of funding from the Forest Service. What Treasure Valley Canopy Network brings to the table is all of that collaboration. If we'd kept this as just a city program, there's no way it would have all of the partners it does right now and wouldn't be nearly as robust."
Start strong, stay strong
In its first year, the Challenge gave away 500 seedlings at a Boise farmers market and earned much-needed publicity for its effort.
But it also ran the risk of fizzling after the initial shine dulled.
"I've been doing this kind of work for 25 years," says Davisson. "I've seen it in cities like New York and L.A. Politicians love to say, 'We're going to plant a millions trees. It's going to be awesome.' What usually happens is they get a splash in the paper for a year or two, sink a bunch of money into giving away free trees to people and they're really not intentional about the right tree, the right place, the right size and truly engaging neighborhoods."
What makes the Boise program different?
"Elaine (Clegg) is brilliant," says Davisson. "She knows that number (100,000 trees) means something to people. With all that I've learned about the people who messed it up, and all that I've learned about the people who've done it well, I knew we could do it right."
Davisson says Clegg has been the right person to make a splash because she works to bridge what seems to be an ever-present urban-rural divide.
By empowering homeowners and neighborhood groups, the program has generated significant vitality.
Volunteer planters
A major success in 2022 has been the Boise Tree Captains program, a citizen push to drive the effort as volunteers—many from the Boise Farmers Market and TVCN's network.
"They already knew how to talk to their neighbors," says Davisson. "And they got 165 trees planted in locations where we needed them the most. They made connections with the homeowners so the homeowners take care of them."
The project works both as an urban opportunity as well as a state forestry project, in conjunction with the Forest Service.
Urban seedlings come largely out of Oregon and are made available through a local Boise nursery.
The Forest Service provides seedlings for the public forest segment, with the City of Trees Challenge providing some funding. Now that this seed of an idea has found purchase, the collaborative effort will push it forward.
"We have some runway," says Davisson. "We're leaps and bounds ahead but also behind. Forest seedling will meet its goal in two years. The 100,000 (urban) trees—we have a long way to go."
As of this writing, the project has planted 13,776 urban trees and 149,000 forest seedlings.
The Challenge needs more funding to add staff.
"We have a strong team, but we need to double our efforts," says Davisson. "We need to plan, we need to plant and we need to grow these trees."
New numbers
Gathering more data is crucial.
TVCN got its start from a 2011 tree-canopy study commissioned by the State of Idaho and the Forest Service and executed by Portland State University.
The study has been a valuable resource. But it's now out of date.
"We always knew the 2011 data needs to be updated," says Davisson. "One of the key pieces is having the right data to inform what we do strategically."
The City of Trees Challenge has invested in an update to that 2011 tree canopy assessment.
"We're about to execute a contract with a company called AppGeo, which will come in and do an update of that 2011 data," says Davisson.
That update will mean being able to compare progress over 10-plus years and create tools using new data to map out the next 10 years.
"There are so many pieces to the puzzle," says Davisson. "What we've done well is when we're planning and budgeting, we're not just planning and budgeting for trees. As we build and grow, we're making an effort to make sure we have the right data."
Spreading the canopy
While City of Trees Challenge has drawn on other regions' concepts and practices—including Root Nashville, another successful private-public initiative whose goal is to plant 500,000 trees by 2050—the Boise effort hopes its model spreads.
"We've begged and borrowed from a lot of folks," says Davisson. "One thing I like about urban forestry nationally is that most people like other people to steal their ideas.
"We want people to replicate what we're doing. We're not doing anything earth-shattering, but I do think we're doing it better than most."
Will Boise hit that 100,000-tree mark?
"I've come to realize that numbers don't matter so much as the action that we're taking," says Roop.
"What I don't want to see is 20 years from now is, 'It was cool! They planted 100,000 trees,' but we don't know where they're at, we don't know if they're making a difference," says Davisson. "I'd rather they said, 'It's amazing. They planted 70,000 trees, they didn't meet the 100,000 mark, but look at what those trees did.'"

Q: cloud-init not working in ubuntu with a iso attached I'm generating ubuntu image in Windows for Hyper-V. The main objective is to add through cloud-init some customizations in order to modify them on boot with custom meta-data and user-data files.
Using ubuntu 20.04 and cloud-init 20.4.1
The meta-data and user-data files are valid and simple, just adding hostname to be specific.
I create de metadata iso with the following command.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Assesment and Deployment Kit\Deployment Tools\amd64\Oscdimg\oscdimg.exe "$($pathtofiles)" $metadataiso -j2 -lcidata
So, I'm generating an iso ($metadataiso path and file name)containing the files in $pathtofiles (meta-data and user-data files) and labelling it as cidata.
When I startup the instance in Hyper-V iso is attached into the VM but it's not mounted neither cloud-init is executed and I'm being lost because all examples seem quite simple and straightforward.
Can someone give me some support on how to automatically execute the cidata iso to consider meta-data and user-data files?
Thanks!

A: I am facing the same issue. Also mounting an ISO to a VM created in Microsoft Hyper-V.
Generating the ISO exactly as described in the cloud-init NoCloud data source documentation.
Install image was ubuntu-20.04.3-live-server-amd64.
Order of Operations:

*

*Install OS without cidata ISO inserted.

*Reboot VM without cidata ISO inserted.

*Power off VM, insert cidata ISO, power on VM.

In addition to what the OP as posted, here are some additional debugging outputs. These are captured from within the VM, after step #3.
Virtual DVD is visible to OS, has correct file system and label.
$ lsblk -f
NAME                      FSTYPE      LABEL  UUID
sr0                       iso9660     cidata 2021-09-23-16-00-18-00

If mounted, virtual DVD shows correct file contents
$ sudo mount /dev/sr0 /mnt
mount: /mnt: WARNING: device write-protected, mounted read-only.
$ ls /mnt
meta-data  user-data

The ISO9660_DEVS=/dev/sr0=cidata entry in the log looks right, but seems to be overridden by a preset datasource_list: [None]
$ cat /run/cloud-init/ds-identify.log
/etc/cloud/cloud.cfg.d/99-installer.cfg set datasource_list: [None]
FS_LABELS=cidata
ISO9660_DEVS=/dev/sr0=cidata

It appears that DataSourceNone was the only data source used
$ cat /run/cloud-init/result.json
{
 "v1": {
  "datasource": "DataSourceNone",
  "errors": []
 }
}

Update: Seems related to this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-images/+bug/1940791
