What's the Average College GPA? By Major?
Posted by Samantha Lindsay | Oct 15, 2022 5:00:00 PM
Coursework/GPA
If you're still in high school, you might be curious about how college GPAs work and what you can expect for grades given your major of choice. Just like high schools, colleges vary in how they calculate GPA. Grade inflation also significantly affects college GPA at most schools, causing many students to end up with higher GPAs in college than they had in high school.
In this article, I'll give you the facts about average GPAs at different types of colleges and within a variety of college majors.
What's the Average College GPA?
The average GPA for students at four-year colleges in the US is around 3.15, or a B average. This is much higher than it's been in the past, a trend that demonstrates that grade inflation is a very real phenomenon for colleges. For example, a C used to be the standard average grade, but now a B is considered average. Why is this?
One factor might be that professors are more vulnerable to student critiques in online forums and are sometimes forced to answer to angry parents if they give poor grades. The job of a professor can partially depend on how pleased his or her students are with the class, which is inevitably tied to what grades students get.
As college becomes more and more expensive, both students and parents expect high grades so they can feel as though they're getting their money's worth. This is also a likely reason for grade inflation, especially considering the disparity in average GPA between public and private colleges: according to GradeInflation.com, public schools have around a 3.1 average GPA, whereas private schools have around a 3.3 average GPA.
Grade inflation might also be happening because professors don't want to jeopardize students' future chances at grad school or job opportunities by doling out low grades in an academic environment that has now come to expect Bs as the norm.
However, telling you the overall average GPA across colleges and majors is somewhat meaningless as a statistic since GPAs vary so drastically by school and by major.
Many schools give students two different GPAs: a cumulative GPA that takes into account all their classes, and a major GPA that only includes classes that count toward their major. In the next few sections I'll get more specific about the average GPAs you can expect for different major fields and types of schools.
GPAs by Major
Science majors tend to have lower GPAs on average, with chemistry being the major with the lowest average GPA. Meanwhile, education majors earn the highest GPAs on average.
Why this disparity? Grade inflation is more rampant in non-STEM fields because assignments are usually more open to interpretation, and there aren't always clearly defined right or wrong answers. Professors tend to give students the benefit of the doubt due to the factors I mentioned previously (i.e., the impact of student evaluations, the expectations of high grades by students and parents, and professors being "too nice").
If a student gets a problem wrong or follows incorrect procedure in gathering data, it's clear that he or she will earn a lower grade. If the student doesn't write a clear enough thesis for an English paper, on the other hand, it's a more subjective situation.
The majors I've listed here come from a 2010 report by Dr. Kevin Rask of Wake Forest University. It's difficult to say what the average GPA for one major is when you're looking across a bunch of different schools. Each program is different, so the average GPA for these same majors at your college might be much higher or lower than indicated in the table.
Major Average GPA
Education 3.36
Foreign Language 3.34
English 3.33
Music 3.30
Religion 3.22
Arts 3.19
History 3.19
Computer Science 3.13
Political Science 3.11
Physics 3.10
Geography 3.09
Philosophy 3.08
Geology 3.03
Economics 2.95
Math 2.90

GPAs by School
Below, I've listed 10 schools for each category of selectivity (highly selective, selective, and less selective) and their average GPAs so you can get a sense of the distribution of college GPA. Here's what I mean by these levels of selectivity:
Highly selective schools are schools that have a less than 15% acceptance rate
Selective schools are schools that have a 20-50% acceptance rate
Less selective schools are schools that have an acceptance rate higher than 50%
You'll notice that the most selective colleges have higher average undergraduate GPAs. This could be because they are more vulnerable to the factors I listed earlier that contribute to grade inflation. Moreover, because these colleges are admitting increasingly higher-achieving students, it's more difficult to set standards in classes that are high enough to prevent most people from earning As.
Highly Selective Colleges
College Acceptance Rate Average GPA
Brown University 5.5% 3.63 (2012)*
Columbia University 3.9% 3.45 (2010)*
Cornell University 8.9% 3.36 (2006)*

What Do Average College GPAs Mean for You?
Average college GPAs won't mean much for you if you're still in high school, but it's good to know how GPA works in college because it can impact your future career. If you end up going through a job recruiting process toward the end of college, your GPA will likely be one of the factors that is strongly considered by recruiters.
As I've said, however, GPA varies quite a bit across different schools and majors. Recruiters will be looking at how your GPA compares with that of other students at your school who are in the same field.
Overall, your experiences with projects and other jobs will carry more weight than will your GPA in most hiring decisions. It's safe to say that if your college GPA ends up being at least a 3.0, most employers won't be concerned with it.
Another matter to take into consideration is grad school. You'll have to be a little more serious about keeping your GPA up in college if you plan to go to grad school (especially if you have your sights set on law school or medical school). Grad programs want dedicated students who are passionate about the field of study they've chosen. A high college GPA in relation to your peers in the same field will demonstrate that you were able to consistently exceed expectations.
If grad school might be on the horizon for you, don't slack off during your freshman year of college! You should make sure your GPA is solid from the beginning so you don't mess up your plans later on (but also try and have fun sometimes because college is awesome).
Let's face it, we all kind of want to be lawyers just so that we can be as cool as Saul Goodman
Conclusion: What's the Average College GPA?
Figuring out the average college GPA is not as straightforward as you might assume it is. Because students take such different classes at a wide variety of institutions, it's difficult to compare one GPA directly with another if both students aren't attending the same college and taking similar classes.
Overall, college GPAs have risen in recent years due to grade inflation caused by a variety of factors, including the easier accessibility of professor reviews, parents' expectations of students' grades, and grad school competition.
Don't choose a major or a college because you think you're going to be able to get a higher GPA in that program. If you work hard in a field you truly enjoy, the good grades will most likely follow!

Emma Watson Reveals Year Break From Acting | Interviews
byClarissa Bamford
British actress Emma Watson has revealed her plans to take a year away from acting to concentrate on feminism, amongst other things. During an interview with Paper magazine, she told author and activist Bell Hooks:
"I'm taking a year away from acting to focus on two things, really. My own personal development is one. I know that you read a book a day. My own personal task is to read a book a week, and also to read a book a month as part of my book club. I'm doing a huge amount of reading and study just on my own.
"I almost thought about going and doing a year of gender studies, then I realized that I was learning so much by being on the ground and just speaking with people and doing my reading. That I was learning so much on my own. I actually wanted to keep on the path that I'm on. I'm reading a lot this year, and I want to do a lot of listening."
Watson continues: "I want to listen to as many different women in the world as I can. That's something that I've been doing on my own, through the UN, the HeForShe campaign, and my work generally."
Before her year hiatus, the Harry Potter actress is due to play Belle in the upcoming live adaptation of Disney's Beauty and The Beast.

Category: Lavender Scare
Most Americans are aware of the Red Scare — the witch hunt for Communist agents in the US led by Senator Joseph McCarthy. Despite the infamy of that event, there was a notable queer element that often gets overlooked, despite lasting longer and impacting a greater number of government employees: the Lavender Scare. Gay men and lesbians were said to be communist sympathizers and dangerous security risks. Given that the 1947 Sex Perversion Elimination Program had already seen to legally labeling homosexuals as dangerously mentally ill, so these assertions fed into growing public unease. There was a national call to fire them from employment in the Federal government — which made it even more difficult for queer people to be out of the closet anywhere in the United States. Though the official Lavender Scare was focused on Federal government and armed forces employees and contractors, you can be sure that thousands more across the country lost their jobs simply because of the fear that McCarthy and his allies were stoking.
In February, 1950 McCarthy announced that he had a list of Communists that worked for the government. Two names on that last were homosexuals who had been fired and then rehired. Senators Kenneth S. Wherry and Senator J. Lister Hill interrogated these two individuals — called "Case 14"and "Case 62". I can't find real names for those two, but they were dismissed from their positions — the first official victims of the Lavender Scare. A week later Deputy Undersecretary of State John Purefoy testified before the Senate Committee on Appropriations that the State Department had actually fired, and later hidden, 91 suspected homosexual employees they had flagged as security risks. In truth, the Senate Committee was not shocked to learn this, since they had essentially given the State Department leeway to purge homosexuals from employment in 1946. However, the testimony revealed this information to the public and granted legitimacy to all of McCarthy's claims — strengthening public support for his Red Scare.
On April 15, 1950, the Republican National Chair Guy George Gabrielson (a name that truly sounds fictional, but it isn't) made the claim that "sexual perverts" who had infiltrated the government were "perhaps as dangerous as actual Communists." He argued that homosexuals were susceptible to blackmail and therefore a great risk to national security. (Later investigations found that not a single person who lost their job during the Lavender Scare ever revealed classified information, and most never had access to any. In case there was any confusion, this was never actually about national security!)
In a somewhat ironic twist, McCarthy hired Roy Cohn — a closeted homosexual — to be the chief counsel of the Congressional subcommittee. (Cohn was also a terrible, terrible human being. We can't all be winners, I suppose.) Working alongside J. Edgar Hoover, they fired multitudes of accused gay men and lesbians. They also used rumors of homosexual activity to coerce their opponents and to smear those they suspected of being communists.
In March of 1952, the Federal government fired 162 employees because they might have been gay. On April 27, 1953, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed Executive Order 10450 which — among other effects — led to a ban on gays and lesbians working for the Federal government of the United States altogether and even more heightened drive to uncover homosexual infiltrators. Suspected homosexuals were interviewed and surveilled for signs of gender non-conformity — as were their roommates and friends. Investigators relied on "guilty by association" — anyone with ties to homosexuals must be one as well. People were given lie detector tests and grilled with questions about their personal sexual history. Police were asked to raid gay bars and homosexual meeting places, and then share their arrest records. Within its first year 425 suspected homosexuals were fired from the State Department alone. Over 5,000 Federal employees were fired because of suspicions that they were homosexuals. Every single one of them was not only lost their job, but was publicly outed as well. Many more were pressured into resigning.
McCarthy effectively convinced the government and the media of a connection between homosexuality and Communism — calling them both "threats to the American way of life" and even blatantly telling reporters "if you want to be against McCarthy, boys, you've got to be either a Communist or a cocksucker." He repeatedly referred to homosexuality as an invasion. The rhetoric caught on. Those who'd been removed from their jobs found it impossible to get hired anywhere else — a few resorted to suicide. Federal investigators later covered up most of those deaths.
The effects of the investigations rapidly expanded out from just government work, leading to an untold number of homosexuals (and suspected homosexuals) being fired and denied employment from even ordinary, non-government jobs — even in Hollywood. Gay and lesbian bars were raided by police with an ever-increasing regularity. Even queer organizations like the Mattachine Society (which was founded partially in 1950 partly in response to the Lavender Scare) were forced to adapt by 1953, adopting specific policies that specified they were loyal to the United States and forcing out founder Harry Hays — who happened to actually be a gay Communist.
The discriminatory practices destroyed lives and families, even among the most powerful people in the country. After Lester "Buddy" Hunt Jr. was arrested for soliciting prostitution from a male undercover police officer, his father Senator Lester Hunt was blackmailed and attacked by his political opponents (which included McCarthy) — destroying his political career and tearing apart his family. On June 19, 1954, he sat down at his desk in his Senate office and shot himself in the head with a rifle.
It wasn't until Frank Kameny was fired from the United States Army Maps Service that anyone sought to challenge these firings in court. He brought his case all the way up to the Supreme Court — making him the first person to argue in United States courtrooms that homosexuals were being treated as second class citizens. They decided against him in 1961. (This would be the beginning of Kameny's profound influence over LGBTQ+ rights in the U.S. — but he would never hold another paying job for the rest of his life, and survived only on the generosity of his friends.) In 1969, the Supreme Court had realized the error of its ways and ruled differently in a similar case. Of course, that didn't help Kameny much.
Between 1947 and 1961, more Federal employees had been fired for being suspected of being homosexual than were fired for being suspected of being Communist. Records of the number of people who were fired as part of the Lavender Scare get more than a little fuzzy after that, but it was hardly over. Even after the end of McCarthy's career in 1957, the tactics used in the Lavender Scare remained in effect for several more years. In fact, the Florida Legislative Investigation Committee (aka the Johns Committee after state senator Charley Eugene Johns) officially began using these same practices to drive the queer population out of state universities in 1958. They pursued students and professors for doing such suspiciously homosexual behaviors as wearing Bermuda shorts on campus. Professors were immediately removed from their positions for even being suspected on queerness, students were allowed to remain on campus only if they routinely visited their school's medical facility for routine psychological treatments. In 1964 the Committee began printing pamphlets entitled Homosexuality and Citizenship in Florida — or colloquially known as the Purple Pamphlet. Because it included pictures of homosexual activity, it was immediately considered controversial and called "state-sponsored pornography" — ultimately leading to the dissolution of the Committee in 1965.
Executive Order 10450 was struck down in court in 1973 but not formally repealed. Parts of it were undone by President Bill Clinton, through the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy and Executive Order 13087 — the latter of which officially ended the FBI's and NSA's discriminatory hiring practices. The Executive Order was not truly repealed until 2017, when — in one of his last acts in office — President Barack Obama signed Executive Order 13764. At about the same time, outgoing Secretary of State John Kerry finally issued a formal apology on behalf of the State Department for the discrimination that occurred.
The long-lasting effects of the Lavender Scare drove the queer community of the U.S. deeper underground, turned public sentiment against the LGBT+ community for decades, and to this day continues to impact hiring policies, and public ideas about homosexuality, around the country. Congress is, even now, preparing to decide on whether or not to pass the Equality Act — which would, among other things, protect LGBTQ+ people from employment discrimination. I would say that almost seventy years after the beginning of the Lavender Scare, it's about time.

Role Debut in Tristan und Isolde with Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra
On September 7 and 8, Lise Lindstrom will make her highly-anticipated debut as Isolde in Act II of Richard Wagner's Tristan und Isolde with the Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of the orchestra's chief conductor, Susanna Mälkki.
Originally slated to take on Isolde in the 2020-2021 season with the Tokyo Symphony Orchestra, this will mark her first time tackling the star-crossed lover following great success in other Wagnerian heroines including Senta in Der fliegende Holländer and Brünnhilde in the Ring Cycle.
The program of these concerts will begin with Richard Strauss' Metamorphosen, a study for twenty-three solo strings which was written near the end of WWII. Following intermission, the special in-concert presentation of the second act of Tristan und Isolde will be featured. Joining Ms. Lindstrom in this outstanding cast includes Stuart Skelton as Tristan, Jenny Carlstedt as Brangäne, Markus Nieminen as Kurwenal, Stephen Milling as King Marke and Roland Liiv as Melot.

Hear from Pippa Clemett, who recently completed work experience with us, on how she used OS OpenData and QGIS to carry out a project on radon potential and lung cancer incidences in England and Wales.
I'm Pippa and I am currently studying geography, geology, biology and chemistry at A-Level, and want to study geography at university. Whilst at Ordnance Survey for an amazing week of work experience, I spent time in the Products department where I used a Geographical Information System called QGIS to produce a small project on radon potential and lung cancer incidences in England and Wales. After using Ordnance Survey's walk through guides for beginners, 'Simple Guide' and 'Masterclass', I quickly got the hang of the basics and then was able to apply my own interests to the powerful technology available at OS, to produce my own project.
After learning about how radon emmisions are used to predict earthquakes in geology lessons, and studying a health issues topic for my AS in geography, I thought this would be the perfect project to bring the two together.
Whilst reading the OS website, I came across a post about John Snow. He was an English physician who is most famously known for his work on the cholera outbreak in London in 1854. He was the first person to look at the relationship between disease and the physical environment. He created dot maps to locate the cluster of cholera outbreaks in order to identify the source of the outbreak, which he concluded was a contaminated water pump. Snow's study is to this day recognised as a breakthrough in both public health and geography.
I wanted to use some of my newly aquired skills in QGIS to see whether there was any relationship between lung cancer incidences and radon potential.
I used open data from the British Geological Survey's website and the MiniScale Map from the OS website to create a chloropleth map, on QGIS, on radon potential in areas across the UK.
Radon is a radioactive gas which is the decay product of radium, a solid. Both radon and radium are products in the Uranium-238 decay chain known as the 'radium series' or 'uranium series'. Uranium is present in small amounts in all rocks – around 1 to 3 parts per million (ppm), however some rock types contain higher than average levels – up to 100 ppm. Therefore, we would expect the areas with rocks that contain more uranium to have higher levels of radon potential.
You can see very clearly from the chloropleth map that there are areas with very low radon potential such as the South and the East of England. You can also see areas with very high radon potential such as in the South West of England, the North of England and the majority of Wales.
After reading that granites, light coloured volcanic rocks and dark shales often contain high amounts of uranium, I wanted to map the underlying bedrock to see whether the geology related to the high levels of radon potential. I used GeoIndex on the British Geological Survey's website to map the geology.
After mapping some areas, I found that when granite was the underlying geology, there were high levels of radon potential. In areas with the lowest radon potential, the geology was more varied and composed of rocks which contained low levels of uranium.
As radon is a gas, it enters pore spaces in the rock and can perpcolate upwards. Therefore more porous, unconsolidated and fractured rocks are likely to increase the radon potential of an area. This is because the radon will be able to travel up and escape the rock more easily. However, in the geology maps we were not able to take into account some of these factors for example, how fractured the rocks are.
Radon is a radioactive gas therefore exposure to it can be very damaging to health. After breathing it in, it gets trapped in our lungs and airways and decays, emmitting radiation. This can then lead to an increased risk of lung cancer.
People who live in zones with the highest potential levels, are at risk from radon entering their homes through water systems or through foundations and getting trapped. It is only when radon gets trapped in houses that it is an issue, as radon would normally, without harm, diffuse into the atmosphere.
If houses have poorly sealed foundations, then a large percentage of air will be drawn up from the ground. If these houses are in the high radon potential areas then this can leave a small amount, but very dangerous levels of radon inside the house. As it is a colourless, odourless gas, people are unaware that they are being exposed to it at very dangererous levels. Radon in homes is thought to cause over 20,000 lung cancer deaths in Europe every year and around 1,000 of these are in the UK.
I wanted to see whether lung cancer risk in the UK relate to the radon potential chloropleth map.
However when comparing the two maps, the relative risk of lung cancer and radon potential does not correlate. In fact, most of the areas with the radon potential, have the lowest lung cancer risk.
The health issues topic I studied for my AS geography covered the areas of regional variations of health and morbidity in the UK. We looked at factors which affected these patterns such as eductaion, income and environment which all relates to levels of deprivation. So despite not finding a connection between radon potential and lung cancer risk, I wanted use my knowledge in human geography to investigate the lung cancer risk cholorpleth map further using indices of deprivation.
When comparing the two maps of deprivation and lung cancer risk, you can see that areas such as the North West of England and the North East have the highest levels of lung cancer risk, and also have a large proportion of the most deprived 10% areas in England. The areas shown that are least deprived, tend to have the lowest risks. Therefore the general trend is that with an increase in deprivation, there is an increase in lung cancer risk.
All of the conclusions I have drawn in this project are in no way reliable or scientific, this was simply an exercise to enable me to use the mapping systems available here at OS and apply it to my own interests. Due to my short stay in the department, my project was nothing more than superficial; however, it gave me a fascinating insight into the potential of GIS. I hope that it has shown the way in which GIS and OS data is able to be tailored to the Ordnance Survey customer, to perform geospatial analysis for a variety of different purposes using different datasets.
I have had a brilliant week's work experience here and had an insightful glimpse into the inner workings of the company. I would like to thank everyone for being so welcoming and friendly throughout the week and ensuring my time here was the most interesting and informative as it could be.

Green Berets lead the 1208 Foundation in its mission to save lives
Here are the top conspiracy theories surrounding Kennedy assassination
Published March 31, 2018 02:57:47
Just under 54 years ago, two years into his presidency, President John F. Kennedy was assassinated on a visit to Dallas, Texas.
An investigation by the Warren Commission determined a former US Marine named Lee Harvey Oswald shot Kennedy from a nearby book depository, but the murky facts of the case have led to a number of alternate theories.
Also read: 2 million declassified documents reveal new details of JFK assassination
They include a CIA conspiracy, a mafia hit job, a covert operation by Lyndon B. Johnson, and more.
In anticipation of the National Archives releasing 3,100 documents related to the assassination on Oct. 26, here are the top theories that have swirled ever since.
The CIA theory
People who believe the CIA was behind Kennedy's assassination speculate the agency strongly opposed a number of the president's stances on Cuba and Communism.
The theory posits that Kennedy's refusal to offer air support for the failed Bay of Pigs invasion, a CIA-sponsored mission to overthrow Fidel Castro, triggered the CIA to eliminate Kennedy from the picture altogether.
Theorists tend to believe the CIA set Oswald up as its scapegoat.
The Mafia theory
A related theory suggests the CIA worked with the Mafia to have Kennedy killed. At the time, the two organizations had a shared interest in overthrowing Castro, as the Mafia held a number of investments in Cuban casinos at-risk of being shut down.
Government documents show the CIA did work with the Mafia to take down Castro; some conspiracy theorists claim the two also worked together, along with anti-Castro Cubans, to assassinate Kennedy.
The Cuban exile theory

Some believe the effort was far less sophisticated than a federal conspiracy, but carried out by a group of rogue Cuban exiles who saw the failed Bay of Pigs invasion as sufficient evidence that Kennedy was unfit as president.
Between 1959, when the Cuban Revolution brought Castro to power, and Kennedy's assassination in 1963, his popularity among exiles had eroded considerably. In October of 1963, anti-Castro Cubans met with right-wing Americans to discuss frustrations with Kennedy.
Theorists speculate the meeting may have been a tipping point for the assassination a month later.
The Lyndon B. Johnson theory
One theory speculates that LBJ feared getting dropped from the Democratic ticket in the 1964 election so intensely that he plotted to have Kennedy assassinated.
According to a 1968 memoir written by Kennedy's personal secretary, Evelyn Lincoln, it is true that Kennedy planned to replace Johnson as vice president. Kennedy told Lincoln as much on Nov. 19, 1963 — three days before he was killed.
Conspiracy theorists point to the timeline as partial evidence that Johnson might have had a hand in orchestrating the murder.
The KGB theory
President Kennedy meets with Chairman Khrushchev at the U. S. Embassy residence, Vienna. U. S. Dept. of State photograph in the John Fitzgerald Kennedy Library, Boston. 03 June 1961
Some theorists believe a band of Soviet officers carried out Kennedy's assassination, directed by Premier Nikita Krushchev.
Toward the end of the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis, Krushchev was ultimately forced to remove the intercontinental ballistic missiles he'd deployed in Cuba due to US militaristic threats against the Soviet Union.
Conspiracy theorists claim the move motivated Krushchev to have Kennedy killed.

Franz August Heinrigs (* 16. November 1871 in Burscheid; † 24. Dezember 1924 in Berlin) war ein preußischer Oberst.

Leben
Heinrigs trat 1890 in die Preußische Armee ein und wurde anschließend zum Portepeefähnrich im Infanterie-Regiment "Freiherr von Sparr" (3. Westfälisches) Nr. 16 ernannt. Dort wurde er am 16. Januar 1892 zum Sekondeleutnant, am 22. Juli 1900 zum Oberleutnant sowie am 20. April 1906 zum Hauptmann befördert. 1911 wechselte er zum Königs-Infanterie-Regiment (6. Lothringisches) Nr. 145, welches er 1913 als Major zum Stab des Infanterie-Regiment "Großherzog Friedrich Franz II. von Mecklenburg-Schwerin" (4. Brandenburgisches) Nr. 24 verließ.

Erster Weltkrieg
Am 2. August 1914 übernahm Major Heinrigs das Kommando des I. Bataillons, mit dem er ins Felde rückte und erste Gefechte in der Schlacht bei Mons und Frameries führte. In der Schlacht an der Marne wurde Heinrigs an der Hand schwer verwundet und kehrte nach auskurierten Verwundung zu seinem Bataillon im Januar 1915 zurück, um in der Schlacht bei Soissons wieder teilzunehmen. Am 19. März 1915 wurde er als Bataillons-Kommandeur zum Infanterie-Regiment "von_Horn" (3. Rheinisches) Nr. 29 versetzt, es folgten schwere Kämpfe in der Champagne. Nach weiteren Einsätzen mit seiner Einheit an der Somme erhielt Heinrigs am 24. September 1916 das Ritterkreuz des Königlichen Hausordens von Hohenzollern mit Schwertern verliehen. Während weiteren Kämpfen nördlich der Somme wurde Heinrigs am 19. Oktober 1916 zum Kommandeur des Infanterie-Regiments von Horn (3. Rheinisches) Nr. 29 ernannt. Nach erfolgten Gefechten und Stellungskämpfen in Flandern, wurde Heinrigs vom Divisionskommandeur Arthur von Lüttwitz mit folgender Begründung zum Orden Pour le Mérite vorgeschlagen:

"Major Heinrigs wurde wegen seiner hervorragenden Tatkraft und persönlichen Tapferkeit bereits im September als Bataillons-Kommandeur in den Kämpfen bei Thiepval-Pozières mit dem Hohenzollernschen Hausorden ausgezeichnet, sodann aus gleichem Grund im August 1917 als Regiments-Kommandeur nach den 10-wöchigen Kämpfen bei Warneton zur Verleihung des Ordens »Pour le mérite« eingegeben. Bei den neuerlichen schweren Kämpfen der Division bei Poelkapelle-Wallemolen an der schwierigsten Stelle eingesetzt, hat sein Regiment am 9. und 12. Oktober alle Angriffe, wenn auch unter schwersten Verlusten, abgewiesen, trotzdem der Gegner bei der Nachbardivision eingebrochen war. Auch dies ist wieder in erster Linie das Verdienst des Regiments-Kommandeurs. Die Persönlichkeit des Majors Heinrigs ist so überragend, daß ich es wage, den Vorschlag zur Verleihung des Ordens »Pour le mérite« hiermit zu wiederholen und auf das wärmste zu befürworten."

Durch A.K.O. vom 8. November 1917 verlieh Wilhelm II. Heinrigs den Orden Pour le Mérite. Nach weiteren Gefechten in Flandern wurde er am 18. Oktober 1918 zum Oberstleutnant befördert und führte nach dem Waffenstillstand sein Regiment in die Heimat zurück.

Nachkriegszeit
Am 1. April 1919 übernahm Heinrigs das Kommando des Rheinischen Freikorps und trat im folgenden Monat zum Stab der Reichswehr-Abteilung Rheinland über, um dort Ende August 1919 in seinen Friedenstruppenteil des Infanterie-Regiments 24 versetzt zu werden. Am 31. Januar 1920 schied er unter Verleihung des Charakters als Oberst infolge Verminderung des Heeres aus dem aktiven Dienste aus. Gleichzeitig erhielt er die Erlaubnis zum Tragen der Uniform des Infanterie-Regiments "von Horn" (3. Rheinisches) Nr. 29. Anschließend trat Heinrigs zur Schutzpolizei über und wurde dort als Polizeioberst Kommandeur des Polizeibezirks Groß-Berlin Mitte.

Requirements Overview - The primary driver for this requirement is that the XO be able to recover its backed up files from the XS HTTP restore interafce without needing to enter a user name or serial number.
Must allow XOs to pass their identity to the XS so that the XS recognizes them without the need for them to login.
Must allow passing the identity to the XS with which the XO is registered. Should allow passing it to any XS. Should allow passing it to any Web server with the right server side code implemented.
Does not require passing XO identity to more than one server at a time (not taking in to consideration and "load balancing like downstream replicating of data which is transparent to the XO).
Does not require passing the XO identity to other XOs.
Must pass that info in Browse in such a way that the XS HTTP server can recognize and extract the info for use in CGI scripting.
Must work with the back and restore feature so an XO and only the relevant XO "automatically" see and restore their own backed up files.
Does not need to support passing identity via any activities aside from Browse.
May allow passing of XO identity to other web server or services aside from the XS but the XS is the primary must have server. If identity is passed to other non-XS server the XO identity must be encrypted and unique so that other browsers or devices can't "spoof" and appear to be the XO.
Must allow the user to turn off or turn on this feature. When off the XO will not pass its identity.
Must maintain its identity after upgrade or downgrade.
Must allow an override on the XS which allows it to see a new XO and associate it with a previously seen XO (covers the case where an XO breaks and the user wants to restore the data to a new XO).
Must allow the XS to move the identity DB and any associations (e.g. which files where back up from which XOs) to a new XS or to share it with another secure XS.

Kim Kardashian Posts Proof North West Declared Peace With Little Brother Saint
A monumental thing happened in the Kardashian-West household: oldest child North West, 6, has begun to like her once-detested younger brother Saint West, 4. She detested him only because he is a boy who took away her only child status.
Their mother Kim Kardashian posted photo proof that the two are now…friends. Time, the ultimate reconciler. "They get along now," Kim captioned the shots.
Kim explained back in October 2018 that initially, North really didn't like Saint, even though he loved her and everyone. North was more accepting of Chicago West, her younger sister, because she's a girl. Then along came little brother Psalm later, and North is now a big sister to three siblings.
But less than two years ago, Kim said, via People, that "North acts like an only child at all times. I think she's a little confused. She's beyond jealousy now. She's just like, 'It's my world.' She said to me the other day, 'Mom…we just need to have another baby brother so that Saint can just leave me alone…so the girls can be on this side of the house and the boys can be on that side of the house.'"
North had a "No boys allowed" sign on her bedroom door at one point, Kim revealed, so that spot was brother-free. "She won't even let Saint step foot in her room," Kim said. Kim described Saint as "the nicest human being on the planet," so his kindness did win out.

The Picture of Dorian Gray and Three Stories
Wilde, Oscar, 1854-1900
Penguin Putnam
A fashionable young man sells his soul for eternal youth and beauty in Oscar Wilde's fascinating gothic tale.
The Picture of Dorian Gray, Oscar Wilde's only full-length novel, is the enduringly eerie story of a naïve and irresistible young man lured by decadent Lord Henry Wotton into a life of depravity. Though Dorian is steeped in sin, his face remains perfect, unlined as years pass—while only his portrait, locked away, reveals the blackness of his soul. This timeless tale of Gothic horror and fable, reveling in the unabashed hedonism and cynical wit of its characters, epitomizes Wilde's literary revolt against the proprieties of the Victorian era.
Sharing this volume with The Picture of Dorian Gray are Wilde's clever and sophisticated story "Lord Arthur Savile's Crime" and two of his delicate fairy tales, "The Happy Prince" and "The Birthday of the Infanta."
With an Introduction by Gary Schnidgall
and an Afterword by Peter Raby
Baker & Taylor
The story of Dorian Gray, whose handsome appearance remains unchanged while the features in his portrait become distorted as his degeneration progresses, is accompanied by three short stories, "The Happy Prince," "The Birthday of the Infanta," and "Lord Arthur Savile's Crime."
Publisher: New York : Signet Classic

Road safety boss gets death threat
A ROAD safety group in Huddersfield alerted police after death threats were made against its leader.
Mary Williams, chief executive of Brake, was singled out for the verbal attacks in a message board on a website run by people who like fast cars.
But Brake felt the messages which appeared after Ms Williams spoke out in favour of speed cameras were so threatening they contacted West Yorkshire Police and made an official complaint about the website www.pistonheads.com
Brake spokesman Simon Collister said: "Essentially the threats made against Mary were death threats and were posted on a noticeboard in a chat room.
"This all came about when Mary appeared on a TV programme last week talking about the effectiveness of speed cameras.
Ms Williams said: "Anti-camera campaigners who break laws such as avoiding paying fines, necklacing (setting on fire) cameras or making nasty threats against individuals working for road safety, are being exposed for what they are - bully boys.
"Brake will continue to support Government policy on speed cameras on the evidence of their success at reducing speeds and casualties - a 35% reduction in casualties in the pilot areas."
David Edmonston, a spokesman for the pistonheads website, said this morning: "This matter has come as a great shock to us.
"Far from being a bunch of crazed lunatics, the site is by and large frequented by a group of mature professional men and women who share a passion for their cars."
And he downplayed the threats that appeared on the site.
He said: "It was a jocular response to what the members perceive as increasingly draconian and unfair limitations on their personal freedoms and, in particular, the use of unsubstantiated and just plain false emotive arguments by certain pressure groups.
"I am very confident indeed there is no substance whatsoever to the allegation that a threat to kill Ms Williams was made by any of our members."
Chief Insp Martin Sykes said: "We have investigated and spoken to both Brake and the website organisers and I am satisfied there has been nothing that constitutes an offence.
"It is not appropriate to take further police action at this stage."
The remarks at the centre of the allegations have been removed from the website.

Continuum Expands Fortify Solution with Managed Detection and Response Capabilities
businesswire, September 30, 2019, 4:00 pm
Continuum®, the Platform for What's Next™, announced today that it is expanding its Fortify solution with new managed detection and response (MDR) capabilities. Additionally, Continuum will add Fortify for the MSP, specifically to help Managed Service Providers (MSP) protect themselves, given the growing trend of cyber attackers seeking to target and weaponize MSPs.
The new MDR enhancements, powered by Fortinet, will help MSPs streamline their cybersecurity processes and better protect their customers with automated correlation across security tools for quicker identification of threats and the ability to identify and disrupt attacks faster.
As MSPs are a growing focus of attacks, Continuum has also introduced a new product, Fortify for the MSP, allowing them to apply the power of Fortify to their own environments and protect themselves. By enabling partners with this new product, MSPs become part of the solution to SMB cybersecurity that has the end goal in mind: providing security their clients demand.
"For MSPs, streamlining processes with advanced MDR capabilities is necessary for effective and proactive cyber threat protection," says Aaron Sherrill, senior analyst, 451 Research. "Continuum Fortify's new MDR capabilities are well positioned to provide the support and visibility MSPs need to secure their customers environments in the face of an ever-evolving threat landscape."
As cyber threats increase, breach concerns are top of mind for MSPs. According to a research report commissioned by Continuum to be published on October 15, 74% of MSPs report suffering at least one cyber-attack themselves. The latest integration of MDR capabilities into the Fortify solution addresses this critical need to protect MSPs and their clients from such threats and limit the impact of security incidents. Delivered with and supported by Continuum's global SOC, MSPs can now identify and stop security incidents much faster, lowering the mean time to remediation of cyber-attacks.
"We set out to create a unified and fully managed set of protections for MSPs to defend their own environment and make it easier for them to provide cybersecurity solutions that reduce false positives and provide more accurate identification of issues, but at a lower overhead cost for the MSP," says Brian Downey, vice president, security product at Continuum. "Fortify, with the latest MDR extensions, reflects Continuum's commitment to enabling MSPs to better protect the end-user by proactively identifying threats and keeping their customers secure – and that is an outcome that makes them look like a hero."
The expanded Fortify solution will also include:
Deep network and server log monitoring and correlation
A single platform experience and intuitive interface across tools, built on BrightGauge
Comprehensive client value reporting capabilities
Expanded Office365 and Windows domain monitoring
Integration with the entire Fortify solution

Benjamin Franklin Institute of Technology Announces Move to New Campus Location in Dudley Square


The new Director of the Governor's Office of Appalachia, John Carey, was in Cambridge to tour the Willet-Pratt Training Center at Zane State College and discuss workforce needs, challenges and gaps with Zane State President Dr. Chad Brown and Ohio Mid-Eastern Government's Association Executive Director Jeannette Wierzbicki.
Zane State is a recipient of a 2018 Regional Job Training grant from the Governor's Office of Appalachia through OMEGA.
Carey, a native of Southeastern Ohio, was previously elected as a member of the Ohio House of Representatives and the Ohio Senate. He was appointed Chancellor of the Ohio Department of Higher Education in 2013. He was appointed Director of the Governor's Office of Appalachia by Governor Mike DeWine. The Governor's Office of Appalachia works to coordinate economic and community development and partnership endeavors to improve the lives of those living in Ohio's Appalachian region. In Ohio, the four Local Development Districts – of which OMEGA is one – work with the Governor's Office of Appalachia to administer state and Appalachian Regional Commission funds.
"I'm very pleased to be able to visit the Willet-Pratt Training Center at Zane State in Cambridge and am encouraged by the work they are doing to adapt to the needs of business," Carey said following his tour of the training facility. "Zane State is being flexible in order to meet the demands of businesses in the region."
"When you look at Director Carey's experience as Ohio's Chancellor of Higher Education, as a small community mayor and as a legislator, he is obviously someone who is invested in this Appalachian region," said Brown.
Zane State received $235,700 in 2018 in the first year of the Regional Job Training grant program administered by OMEGA. Funding for this program is through the Governor's Office of Appalachia and provided scholarships funds, supplies and equipment for Zane State's Project Bridge the Gap. Project Bridge the Gap refers to the regional skills gap related to industrial maintenance, electronics, mechanics, construction, advanced manufacturing and additive manufacturing.
"We are thrilled Director Carey was able to join us today to see just one example of the great work the Governor's Office of Appalachia is supporting in the OMEGA region," said Wierzbicki. "We look forward to continuing our partnership with GOA and showing Director Carey many more success stories."
"Between industry, higher education and secondary education, Zane State brings it all together to create a continuum," saidBrown.
